Chapter 10-Escape
Naruto watched with amusing interest how Tsukiumi was taking the appearance of his newest Sekirei in the form of Kazehana. The water Sekirei was not happy. That much was a given. Her hair was moving like it was alive and Tsukiumi has this almost cute little eyebrow tick she had when around another attractive female who was near him.
It didn't help Kazehana was currently in the kitchen naked and wearing only an apron.
"Do you like it? I thought I would wear this as a way to show my husband how much I appreciate him!" stated Kazehana while she was in sexy pose that showed off a whole lot of skin and sex appeal.
It was Hinata all over again like when they were married. Hot damn!
"Whoa! Look at that outfit! Its so hot!" exclaimed Matsu while drooling.
"What outfit?! She is practically naked!" declared Tsukiumi in a mix of both anger and hysterics at what Kazehana was wearing.
"No fair! Musubi wanted to do something like this for Naruto-sama too!" protested a still slightly childish Musubi while pouting a bit since she could tell Naruto liked what he was seeing.
Akitsu was quiet the whole time, but was also considering the idea of doing something like this for Naruto to further enforce her position as the favorite among the flock.
"Well if Naruto-kun doesn't like it, I could always...take...it...off!" offered Kazehana in a seductive tone while walking up to Naruto and giving him a knowing look.
"On or off. You still look sexy Kazehana," whispered Naruto while sneaking his hand behind her and groped the woman's ass.
Something she enjoyed if the sultry throaty noise was any indication.
"Glad you approve Naruto-kun because I intend to do a lot of things that will drive you wild inside," remarked Kazehana while smiling at Naruto and giving him a sexy wink.
And making Tsukiumi grind her teeth...loudly.
"Looking forward to it," replied Naruto before he kissed the woman passionately.
"As much as I find Tsukiumi's rising anger slightly amusing, we have a couple of guests currently standing nervously outside of the door Naruto-kun," replied Karasuba while she was polishing her sword on the sofa.
Sure enough, the doorbell went off with Naruto having to break off the kiss slowly with Kazehana before walking over to the door and leaving the woman whine at having her kiss ended. When Naruto did open the door, the three eyed horned primordial God was greeted to the sight of Sahashi Minato, and two out of his three Sekirei. Naruto suspected Miya wouldn't allow Kusano be around him due several reasons with Karasuba being the chief reason among many.
The fact he had no real shame when it came to groping, kissing, and screwing his Sekirei silly was no doubt the next closest reason. Karasuba had made it perfectly clear to him that she really wanted to make one of the walls of the fence see-through when Miya was sweeping. The Black Sekirei wanted the landlady could see the two of them having sex. Naruto didn't really mind the idea behind it, giving he would be sticking it to Miya as a form of a prank, BUT the fact remained little Kusano was there and could possibly have her oh so innocent mind destroyed by what she might possibly see in the process.
So Karasuba would just have to wait. Much to her secret ire.
"Uh...Naruto?" asked Minato nervously while his two Sekirei fidgeted with their chosen weapons tightly in hand.
And it made Naruto get an evil pranking idea. Just a quick one.
"Naruto? NO! He is no more. I have consumed his body and power to make my own!" declared Naruto while flaring his chakra making a dark ethereal demonic image.
"W-What?!" asked Minato while his Sekirei trembled in fear from his growing power.
"Yes fallen one! I am in fact Satan. And I am your God now!" declared Naruto/Satan before he let out an evil laughter that echoed throughout his home with thunder and the lightning flashing miraculously behind him.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" screamed Minato in a not so manly fashion while his Sekirei fainted in fear.
Before Naruto also collapsed onto the ground and was rolling around while laughing at the poor boy's reaction to his prank.
"You should see your face! You were so terrified of me!" exclaimed Naruto while rolling on the floor and slapping the ground while laughing.
"That's not funny at all!" protested Minato while weeping and Naruto just kept laughing.
"Sure it is. Namely because I was the one who pulled the prank on you," replied Naruto with a cheesy grin on his face before helping Minato, who had been on his knees since his girly scream was let out, up to his feet, and patted the poor nearly spineless boy on the shoulder playfully.
"Please don't do that again Naruto-san. I don't think my poor heart can take it a second time," remarked Minato while clutching his chest.
"If your heart can't take one of my pranks, then you won't be able to satisfy your adult Sekirei when you finally get your 'alone time' with them," replied Naruto with Minato blushing and his two Sekirei shooting up from the downed position they were in when hearing about their "alone time" with their Ashikabi.
"Can we come in please? I need to talk to you about something important," said Minato nervously.
"By all means. Matsu, could you call Miya. She no doubt thinks I've killed our guests, if not severely maimed them," remarked Naruto while Matsu seemed fearful.
"Does it have to be me Naruto-tan? Why not have Akitsu-tan do it? Or maybe Musubi-tan?" asked Matsu while Naruto smiled at her.
"I suppose I could have one of them do it, but then I would have to reassign you to being Karasuba-chan's sparring partner, and for the whole day too! Up to the task?" countered Naruto with Matsu going pale and glancing at a happily smiling Karasuba.
"By all means spar with me Matsu. I want to see if you can still run just as fast as you did back on the island," added Karasuba while letting her sword's polished blade shine with a deadly gleam to match her eyes.
"I will go an call Miya-tan now! Excuse me!" replied Matsu before vanishing instantly from sight over to the next room and began to pound her fingers quickly into the phone to call Miya.
"And that Minato is what I like to call strong motivation to get things done," commented Naruto with a chuckle with Minato and his two Sekirei on either side of him now sweat dropping.
'That's not motivation,' thought Minato to himself before he followed Naruto to the living area and they all sat down.
Akitsu had claimed one side of the couch on his left and Tsukiumi had claimed the other side on his right while giving her others "sisters" in the room a glare so they would back off from challenging the water Sekirei. Musubi pouted at first since she wanted to be in either position with her Ashikabi, but decided to move behind the couch and lean over so Naruto's head was pressed against her impressive bust.
"Oh drat! Musubi did what I wanted to do," remarked Kazehana while coming down the steps in her short purple dress that hid little to the imagination and got a smirk from her Ashikabi.
"Well Minato, what is it you want to talk to me about?" asked Naruto while all his Sekirei were watching Minato and his Sekirei for any signs of an attack.
"W-Well, I uh...the thing is...I was talking to a friend of mine the other day. He's actually another Ashikabi like me," began Minato nervously.
"You mean Haruka Shigi and his shy Sekirei that is Kuno?" asked Naruto though it was not really a question, but rather a knowing statement.
"I won't ask how you know that. But yeah. It is him. Anyway, he came to see me in the hopes helping him, and Kuno escape Shinto Teito. They don't want to fight in the Sekirei Plan since Kuno isn't what you would call a uh...natural fighter," replied Minato while he looked at Naruto nervously and saw the man nod while mentally asking Matsu for a drink through their bond.
"Yes I know. I read all about Kuno, her powers, and of course her Ashikabi. The two of them were both mentioned in a report from M.B.I. that Matsu brought to my attention since Shigi and Kuno tried to escape Shinto Teito not that long ago. Kuno is not what you would call...strong. Even by Sekirei standards in terms of her powers. She's clearly not a Sekirei who either enjoys fighting or the idea of battling against others," remarked Naruto while Matsu brought him his drink and took a small swig.
"If they don't leave the city for a new life, Kuno will most likely be deactivated, or die when the fighting picks up," added Minato while Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Of course they would. Kuno's overall power surrounds her voice projecting sound waves and using them to stun her enemies. Of course, her own adjustments done before being released from the labs resulted in the poor girl puking up blood if she uses said power for too long. Even Izumi Higa's two bloodhounds at their weakest could take on Kuno at her best and win," finished Naruto while hinting in his tone of voice to cut to the chase of this conversation.
"What I was wondering is...could you help them escape? Or at least turn a blind eye from them escaping if they did make another attempt?" asked Minato while Naruto smirked at the boy.
"You have some pair of balls kid. I will give you that. I assume you recall I have my own Discipline Squad and each of them is in this room with me? That what you are asking of me is a violation of the rules and my purpose is to enforce the rules M.B.I. has firmly set in place?" asked Naruto with Minato gulping nervously before nodding.
"I do," replied Minato with Naruto's smirk growing.
"And yet you still ask me? Even knowing that it might be your death sentence or that of your friend living next door with you?" asked Naruto while Kaho and Yashima tensed and glanced at the Sekirei around them.
"You don't really strike me as someone who would enforce all the rules of the game. I saw as much when I went to get Kusano and you were ensuring she was winged by me because I was her Ashikabi. The Sekirei need to survive and grow on their own with their Ashikabi to give them love and support. Something that Shigi and Kuno can't do while in Shinto Teito with this game Minaka has setup," replied Minato with Naruto nodding once again in agreement.
"Point taken kid. Your assumptions about me are indeed correct. If I really wanted to be a dick about it, I could have allowed Yomi to take Kusano to Mikogami, or even dare I say it? Winged the girl myself! I chose neither of those options because I didn't believe they were the right choices to make. I don't like the Sekirei Plan. I don't like Minaka. I don't like how he enforces some rules in the game, but disregards the others because it makes the game 'more fun' in his mind," remarked Naruto while taking another gulp from his drink.
"So you'll help Shigi escape with Kuno?" asked Minato hopefully.
"He will certainly not! My husband will never aid someone as weak and pathetic as your monkey friend or his equally weak Sekirei!" stated Tsukiumi before Naruto could even respond to the question.
"Hey!" protested Kaho since she liked her Ashikabi's friend and Kuno too...even if the girl needed to grow some form of a spine.
"That's not very nice Tsukiumi," remarked Musubi with a pout.
"I call it as I see it concubine," countered Tsukiumi confidently while glaring at Musubi before directing it toward her husband's guests.
"Even still, Naruto didn't give an answer to my Ashikabi's question about helping Shigi and Kuno," countered Kaho while Tsukiumi's glare increased.
"Why would my husband give you an answer when I already answered thy question for him? Does thou have issues in terms of hearing?" asked Tsukiumi in a finalized tone.
"Because my Ashikabi asked him. Not you!" Kaho shot back and it made Tsukiumi growl angrily at her.
"How dare thee presume I cannot speak on my husband's behalf about such an important issue!" exclaimed Tsukiumi with her hair moving around like it was alive.
"Considering he's sitting on the couch next to you and can speak for himself...we kind of do," added Yashima while Tsukiumi looked ready to explode.
"That's enough Tsukiumi. They are right on this," said Naruto with Tsukiumi looking at him with a mixture of sadness and anger.
"Husband?!" questioned Tsukiumi.
"That's right. I am the husband here. I have been asked a question by our guests and I can answer the question on my own," commented Naruto in a scolding tone.
"But...they are asking you for help when they do not deserve it!" protested Tsukiumi with Naruto smiling at her.
"The help they are asking for is nothing serious. Besides, I get the feeling you don't want me to help them simply because I would be helping an Ashikabi escape with his Sekirei. You don't believe a Sekirei should flee from the Sekirei Plan," concluded Naruto with Tsukiumi looking away angrily.
"A Sekirei's duty is to fight to the end. Only one may stand at the top of the mountain and bring glory to their Ashikabi. Any Sekirei who can't do that isn't one worth respecting!" stated Tsukiumi while Naruto sighed in disappointment at her words.
"No its doesn't Tsukiumi," countered Naruto with a sudden seriousness that shocked her.
"W-What?" asked Tsukiumi while Naruto handed his cup to Akitsu to hold and turned to further face Tsukiumi.
"A Sekirei's purpose is to find their Ashikabi to they can know love and live a life of love and happiness. Minaka has warped your mind into believing otherwise," replied Naruto with Tsukiumi looking uncertain.
"I do not like it husband. Not one bit! Why should we asked to help those who are too weak to even help themselves?" asked Tsukiumi while Naruto just smiled and kissed her head.
She always could wear a lovely shade of red on her face when blushing.
"Because my dear Tsukiumi-chan, there are just some people out there who need our help in order to survive. Shigi and Kuno may not be strong enough to fight in the plan, but that doesn't mean they don't have the right to live. They could have a chance to grow if they weren't in a situation where someone was gunning for them," explained Naruto while he placed Tsukiumi closer to his position and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Does this mean you will help Shigi and Kuno?" asked Minato with hope in his voice again.
"Possibly. It won't be easy of course. One doesn't just escape Shinto Teito with a Sekirei and expect it to be a walk in the park," replied Naruto before taking his drink from Akitsu to have another sip.
"But Naruto-sama, you can...," offered Musubi before his hand's index finger was raised and he silenced the girl through the bond.
"Musubi, what did I tell you before about my secrets?" asked Naruto with Musubi's eyes widening in realization.
"That I shouldn't tell anyone about them!" replied Musubi firmly.
"And what were you about to do?" asked Naruto in a lecturing tone.
"I was about to...oh! I'm sorry Naruto-sama. I almost told Minato-san something I wasn't suppose to say in front of him," answered Musubi while looking ashamed of herself for doing that.
"That's right. Normally, I would punish you for that with a spanking, but I think such a method for you has been used too many times, and you have built up an immunity to it. Which means I need to think up another punishment to further enforce things with you," remarked Naruto while Musubi let out a small whine.
"Please don't give Musubi a worse punishment then a spanking Naruto-sama," pleaded Musubi while the three guests across from her were blushing.
"No promises. I'm still going to think of a punishment for you regardless," replied Naruto with Musubi nodding and whining a bit.
"Musubi understands," whispered Musubi while knowing she was either going to have a sore backside later or something else far worse.
"Pervert!" exclaimed Kaho while rushing forward to smack him in the head with butt end of her Naginata.
Only to be blocked by a small yet strong pillar of ice and Karasuba putting a sword to the Sekirei's throat.
"Now don't be like that Kaho-chan. Everyone of us likes our Ashikabi just the way he is. Perversity and all. Isn't that right Akitsu?" said Karasuba while Akitsu nodding.
"Ah...Master is a wonderful pervert. Makes me scream," replied Akitsu while snuggling against him while keeping an eye on Kaho.
Yashima wouldn't do anything. Even if the other Sekirei that Minato had did try, Akitsu was confident one of the others would step in.
"Thank you Akitsu-chan. Now if we could all get back to being civil...," remarked Naruto while sending a silent command to Karasuba to remove her sword from Kaho's throat so the conversation could continue.
"Sorry about that. Um...if its not too much trouble, could you go back to planning the escape?" asked Minato with Naruto smiling.
"Something like this cannot be thrown together one moment and executed the next. This requires careful planning on our end. Not only that, but even if this little plan of yours to get Shigi and Kuno out of Shinto Teito works...the aftermath may not be pleasant," said Naruto knowing Minaka would have something up his sleeve should a Sekirei and the Ashikabi of that Sekirei escaped.
Naruto assumed the more power and authority would go to him. And the people of course would accept it. Any Sekirei escaping from Shinto Teito with their Ashikabi would be using a lot of force to succeed in doing it. Destruction of city property and broadcasting it through the news would give Minaka a means to tighten his grip on the city without any of the citizens not caring so long as they feel protected.
Secret tyranny allowed via shadowy deception. Danzo would have loved Minaka's way of doing things if not for the crazy man's...emotional expressions when around people.
"He's not wrong Minato-tan. Minaka no doubt has a plan for just such an event. Since he is in control of all of Shinto Teito, anything the public sees can be manipulated by him at any time. The media and communication broadcasting systems of the city are under his direct control," added Matsu while she thought about how Minaka could use things to his advantage if an Ashikabi and a Sekirei escaped.
"Not to mention the crests all Sekirei have on the back of their necks. You may not know this, but the crests have a tracking system to monitor all the Sekirei in this 'game', and as such Minaka can keep an eye on any bird that makes the attempt to fly out of their cage. I also know that the crests also have a kill switch built into them so at a few strokes upon a very complex set of buttons...Minaka can shut any Sekirei he wants down without even batting an eyelash," replied Naruto, which made Minato, and his Sekirei sweat in fear at the idea of that happening.
"H-He can do that?!" asked Minato in horror at the prospect.
"Without a care in the world," replied Naruto while he glanced at Tsukiumi and Akitsu, who were now moving closer to him.
"And yet you work for him," accused Kaho while Naruto scoffed.
"To a point. Minaka knows as well as I do that his machinations have no effect on me. I can easily bring my Sekirei back to life as easily as he could deactivate them. I only work for him because it allows me to help your race survive the Sekirei Plan by working within M.B.I. instead of without. Minaka also knows I will crush him if he tries to challenge me in terms of what I do in this game and won't dare deactivate any of my Sekirei. The man maybe crazy, but he is hardly stupid. Which is a shame because I have no problem killing stupid people," replied Naruto while feeling Akitsu rubbing his arm gently with one of her hands.
"But what about Shigi and Kuno? They aren't safe with Minaka's finger on the button to terminate her and M.B.I. has an army capable of snatching up Shigi before he can blink," questioned Minato with Naruto nodding.
"Which is why you can't rush this escape plan Minato. Say you did go through with this quest to help him. Say the best case scenario happens and you get him out of the city. What then? Would the two actually escape and be truly free? The answer is no. Minaka would shut Kuno down and M.B.I. troops would detain Shigi faster then Karasuba can draw her sword," replied Naruto while glancing at the mentioned Sekirei grinning from ear to ear.
"Because Minaka will know their movements before they do and can act accordingly in trapping them," concluded Minato with Naruto nodding.
"Exactly! Now for this plan of yours to work, you need someone on the inside to make it successful. Or rather more successful than it would be without my help. Someone who can deactivate the tracking system on Kuno's crest or at the very least just the kill switch so Minaka doesn't shut her down. I don't mind the tracking system so much because I do not feel Sekirei are ready to be part of the world as a whole given their powers. At least for the moment anyway. Kuno is an exception because she is not as...exotic as the other Sekirei of her race and she can easily blend in with society outside of the city," replied Naruto while Minato nodded since Kuno was considered to be among the least...sexually attractive female so far (Kusano aside for obvious reasons) he had seen among the Sekirei race.
"Who can do that? You may work for M.B.I. officially, but I doubt even you have access to such a complex system," said Minato while the blonde nodded.
"True, but I just so happen to know one person outside of Minaka who does," replied Naruto with Minato frowning.
"Really? Who?" asked Minato curiously.
"Your Mother. She is Minaka's # 2 person working at M.B.I. and knows every little thing that goes on. Probably more then she should ever know, but that's besides the point," said Naruto while Minato's jaw dropped.
"M-My Mom works for M.B.I. and is second only to Minaka?" asked Minato in shock.
"Yeah. She really should have told you after winging Kaho and Yashima here. Not to mention the incident with Kusano and you heading for her despite the thick vegetation she made," commented Naruto while the boy looked ready to faint.
"Is there anything else I should know?" asked Minato while hoping there wasn't.
"Yeah. Your sister is an Ashikabi too. She nabbed the last Sekirei to come out of the M.B.I. labs. Some pretty boy Sekirei named Shiina. His power is surprisingly the exact opposite of Kusano's ability to create life. Meaning he can actually cause things to die on command using his energy to make things die. Fortunately, from what I have had Akitsu observe of him in secret, the boy doesn't have any bloodthirsty tendencies to use it on anyone unless in self-defense," replied Naruto and watched Minato proceed to faint at these words.
Only for Tsukiumi to nearly drown him in amount of water used after Naruto sent her a silent look to wake the boy up. Though the amount of water used could be considered overkill.
"Why didn't Yukari tell me she was in the Sekirei Plan?" asked Minato to himself.
"For one, the Sekirei Plan is suppose to be 'a secret' according to the Game Master. Two, she didn't exactly know how to break something like this to you. Three, from my own understanding, you never told her where you relocated in terms of Maison Izumo, and visiting you was not possible. And finally four, she has been busy helping Shiina find his 'little sister' in the form of Kusano. They grew up together in the labs before that nasty business with Mikogami in the park screwed things up. If I were you, I would give your sister a call soon, and let her know what you know regarding this game. Your Mom too!" replied Naruto with Minato slouching his shoulders and lowering his head in defeat.
"I really don't want to talk to Mom about this. The last time we did have a conversation with her on the phone, she docked my allowance for not getting into the University when I failed the Exams. Not to mention my sister Yukari will see two of my Sekirei and think I'm some kind of perverted freak! Even more when she sees Kusano!" exclaimed Minato while crying anime tears.
"Don't take this the wrong way kid, but your sister has NOOOO room to talk if she calls you a perverted freak. The girl has some wicked perverted things in her head and they are all centered around pretty boys, which her Sekirei just so happens to be, and fits quite nicely into her fantasies for him. Right Akitsu?" said Naruto with Akitsu nodding.
"Ah...the girl is a pervert like Matsu," replied Akitsu while Matsu blushed a nice shade of red and looked away when everyone looked at her.
"Hey! There is nothing wrong with being a pervert," said Matsu in a defensive tone.
"No one said it was wrong Matsu. Akitsu was just comparing Yukari to you regarding perverted ideas and from what I've been told about this girl...I think the comparison is indeed quite accurate," replied Naruto with Matsu's face now getting very red from the embarrassment of this situation at being put on the spot in front of guests.
"Please stop! I don't need to hear about my sister being a pervert," pleaded Minato while Naruto shrugged.
"All right. But only because you said please," replied Naruto with an amused grin on his face.
"Thank you. Now back to my Mom working at M.B.I. and having access to what you need. Can you convince her to do it?" asked Minato with Naruto thinking it over in his head.
"Probably not. Don't get me wrong Minato, your Mother is a strong hard ass woman, who doesn't take crap from anybody. Human or Sekirei. My guess is she would most likely do it willingly if given the chance, BUT you forget Minaka is the one person who will stay her hand. Like I said, he has no problem deactivating Sekirei whether it is one or all of them just to make his point about his superiority get across. My guess is, if your Mother openly did this, the crazy asshole would shut down some random Ashikabi's Sekirei, and keep doing it until he was absolutely sure Takami got the point across to never betray him like that ever again," said Naruto while Minato nodded since he knew his Mother wasn't one to back down from anybody, but even she had her limits.
And Minaka knew exactly where they were. Not to mention get to them quickly to break the woman's resolve in opposing him.
"So you its impossible for Mom to help," surmised Minato in defeat.
"Not impossible per se. There is a way for your Mom to help, but she can't be a...willing participant when required to do what is necessary," replied Naruto while Minato looked at him with an unsure look on his face.
"Can't be willing? Are you suggest that she be...forced to do it? Against her will?" asked Minato while Naruto nodding.
"Sadly yes. I can use the power behind my eyes to influence her for a short time. Given the strong mentality and willpower of your Mother, I say I can make her do something for about...15-20 minutes tops," replied Naruto with Minato looking a bit uncertain by this tidbit of information.
"But that's wrong! You can't just make a person do something they would normally do," protested Minato with Naruto frowning slightly at the kid's nativity.
"Perhaps on some level and in different situations, you would be right. But this way, your Mother has plausible deniability in this case because she won't remember doing what we need her to do. Even if Minaka's security shows Takami deactivating the various systems within Kuno's Sekirei crest for this instance, she can explain how she doesn't remember a thing, and the asshole would have to accept it. The man probably has some advanced lie detector system that can tell when a person is lying before they even speak the lie itself. Your Mother would be telling the truth when confront by Minaka on how she didn't do it and would still deny it after being shown the footage showing to the contrary. If a person is told something that is a lie, but they believe it to be the truth because there is nothing to disprove it as a lie, then the person will believe they are telling the truth, and will be able to deceive any detection system searching for a lie," explained Naruto while Minato still looking unsure.
"But won't Minaka quickly conclude that you had a hand in it given your powers?" asked Minato with Naruto smirking.
"Probably. But there isn't anything he can do to me. Sure Minaka could target someone else to prove a point in terms of letting me know such actions against M.B.I. will not be tolerated, but...I can pull some pretty mean punches of my own. Literally and figuratively of course. The last time someone tried to hurt me or those around me just to make such a point...it didn't end well for them," answered Naruto with his face showing he was deadly serious about what happened to the last asshole who tried that.
"Great! I mean, sure I'm not comfortable about you using my Mother like a puppet, even if only for a short time, but...at least its a plan. I...don't suppose you want to come over to Miya's house and talk to the others about this?" said Minato hopefully.
"Me? Over a Miya's house? Even for a short time? The last time I was there, she got very angry with me despite the truce, and the secret alliance made with her. Do you think she would even allow it?" asked Naruto while thinking it over.
"Come on Naruto-kun. I can go with you. In fact, Kazehana, and Matsu could come along with us. Mutsu aside, it would be one big Discipline Squad reunion," remarked Karasuba with Matsu sweating nervously while Kazehana didn't exactly looked thrilled at the idea of Miya getting pissed off at the Black Sekirei for stepping into the Inn. with Naruto.
Miya's policy at Maison Izumo for never turning away anyone in need of help did NOT qualify for Karasuba or Minaka.
And maybe Naruto himself depending on the situation or how much he offended Miya.
"Nice try Karasuba. I think we'll leave that reunion for a later date," remarked Naruto while he smirked at the pouting woman.
It was so fun to see her pout. It was actually kind of sexy.
"Ah...Master it is time for training," reminded Akitsu since this was the time they spent training to hone their powers and abilities.
"Already? Wow look at the time. Thanks Akitsu!" stated Naruto before giving her a kiss on the cheeks and making the woman blush a full red face.
"How dare thee do that! That kiss belonged to me!" protested Tsukiumi before Naruto gave her a kiss on the cheek and moved her head down to his shoulder.
"None of that my Tsukiumi-chan. Its unbefitting of a wife such as yourself to be angry over such a trivial issue," said Naruto while Tsukiumi sputtered something, but didn't make it loud enough to be translated.
"I'll let Miya know you're coming over. You are coming over later...right?" asked Minato while Naruto thought about it for a second.
"Sure. I'll even bring some of the girls along. Don't worry, Karasuba will NOT be joining us. I know how Miya feels about her so I won't cause the end of the world anytime soon," replied Naruto with a smile and saw Minato laughing sheepishly.
"Yeah. That would be pretty bad and bring an abrupt end to the Sekirei Plan," remarked Minato before he bowed respectfully to Naruto and left with his two Sekirei.
"Okay ladies. Time for training. You know the drill," remarked Naruto after a moment before getting off the couch with his two Sekirei beside him doing the same a second later.
"Ah...and later?" asked Akitsu with a hint of eagerness in her tone with a subtle glance to his crotch.
Naruto just smirked at the most needy of his flock before motioning them to follow him to the backyard.
(Maison Izumo-Sometime Later)
Naruto sat across from Miya. A sense of another moment in time between them repeating itself. Except this time, Homura was near Miya so he wouldn't get stuck down by her in the crossfire should there be a fight. Also, Naruto had brought Akitsu, Kazehana, Uzume, and Matsu with him since the red head needed to be their for tactical purposes.
Musubi and Tsukiumi wanted to come, but Naruto wouldn't let the former go on account of her being punished (he figured denying Musubi a means to visit the landlady outside of sparing was a good enough punishment as any at the moment), and Tsukiumi because of her hostility to Homura. Not that Tsukiumi knew her "rival" was actually in fact living at Maison Izumo, but all it took was for the woman to say or do something that, and cause the fire Sekirei to produce flames. Not surprising given how his Byakugan could see Homura's core getting increasingly unstable each time he used his power. If the man didn't find an Ashikabi soon...well then the fire Sekirei and Guardian of Unwinged Sekirei would soon be on fire quite literally.
So Tsukiumi stayed behind after Naruto basically used her "belief" that she didn't want any part of the plan to help Shigi and Kuno escape Shinto Teito.
Karasuba couldn't come to Maison Izumo simply because it would be the end of Shinto Teito as everyone knew it.
"So you want to help Shigi-kun and Kuno-chan escape Shinto Teito. I must admit, I did not expect you to take their side on this. Being an employee of M.B.I. and an enforcer of their rules," remarked Miya while making sure to hit him with a backhanded compliment.
"Would you prefer I do nothing to help them in their time of need? Like you? Or maybe hunt the two down before they even make it to the end of the block?" asked Naruto with a shot of his own.
"I'm providing room and board. Not to mention protection from other Ashikabi and their Sekirei," Miya shot back with sharp and dangerous eyes.
"Perhaps, but that only goes so far as the property line of the house. That can only last for so long. They are on borrowed time," replied Naruto while Miya frowned slightly.
"He's not wrong Miya-tan," added Matsu before she let out an "eep!" when Miya's Hanya Mask came out.
"I'm sorry. What was that? I thought I heard a comment from the pervert in the room?" questioned Miya while glancing at Matsu.
"Knock it off Miya. You want Shigi and Kuno to get help? Cancel the mask," said Naruto with his power rising to match Miya's to make things more manageable for his Sekirei.
"Very well. Proceed with your plan," replied Miya while Naruto nodded before glancing at Matsu, who pulled out a scroll from her bosom (much to Miya's ire), and unrolled it onto the table.
"Naruto-tan made this using his Master over what he calls Fuinjutsu. Apparently he got the skill from his Mother's side of the family and has long since perfected the art during him time alive in this world," explained Matsu while the seal on the large scroll projected a 3D model of Shinto Teito in all its glory.
"Wow!" exclaimed Shigi while Kuno wanted to reach out and touch it if not for the fact she was afraid it would shatter upon doing so.
"Indeed. Now pay attention. As things stand, you are royally screwed without my help. Even if you got through the posting of guards, the patrols, the vehicles, and every other human based thing under the Sun...you still have to deal with a Discipline Squad," said Naruto with Shigi and Kuno looking confused.
"But...you are the Discipline Squad," commented Shigi with Naruto smirking.
"Well, you're not wrong, but still are at the same time. What I mean to say is you will be facing a Discipline Squad that is not mine! This one is loyal to M.B.I. due to the Ashikabi with these two members being loyal to Minaka. You ran into one of them before on the bridge, didn't you? The one with claws?" replied Naruto with Shigi nodding and Kuno looking a tad more afraid.
"Yeah. She could slice through just about anything with those claws," commented Shigi nervously.
"Indeed. The other one, named Benitsubasa is a lot like Musubi in terms of Sekirei type when it comes to fighting. The only difference between them here is Musubi has big boobs, a nice ass, is still pure of heart, and doesn't want to kill your Sekirei in a battle," replied Naruto while knowing all these things were true in every sense of the word.
"Not to mention both members of the Discipline Squad under Natsuo have an advantage over Minato's Sekirei if they decided to fight them," added Matsu while the scroll had shown the stats of both Sekirei in the Discipline Squad.
"What do you mean? I've seen Minato's Sekirei and they are strong. Even that plant girl!" protested Shigi while Kuno deflated at hearing that since she took it as an insult to herself in the inability to fight.
"True, but their skills are meant for mid-range fighting, long range fighting, and Kusano can only fight if there are plants or something nature based nearby. Personally, I would not bring Kusano into this. She is a child and using a child in such a manner is nothing short of barbaric," stated Naruto while Shigi looked defeated in that regard.
"But that still doesn't explain exactly how Minato's Sekirei couldn't help out in a fight," countered Homura while Naruto sighed.
"Ah...the enemy is close range. They can easily dodge and disable when close enough to strike," offered Akitsu, which gained her a smile, and kiss from Naruto.
"Such an observant Sekirei you are Akitsu. You're getting a special reward tonight," said Naruto with Akitsu's face going atomic red due to knowing what the reward was that he had in mind for her.
"Thank you Master," replied Akitsu immediately while leaning against his shoulder.
"As it stands, Minato's help while considerable, his Sekirei are not meant to handle these two particular Sekirei. These two were enhanced by M.B.I. specifically to go toe to toe with the double digit numbered Sekirei and win. The only Sekirei capable of lasting long or winning against them are my Sekirei. Each of them is either a single digit or has been getting strong enough to fight a single digit since becoming my Sekirei," said Naruto, as he felt his Sekirei move closer to his body to snuggle up against him.
"So all of your Sekirei would fight them off. Discipline Squad VS Discipline Squad in a sense. Hardly seems fair," commented Miya while seeing each Sekirei present sans three of them presently not here, could each throw down with the other Sekirei in the game, and win multiple fights.
"You want fair? Enforce the rules yourself," Naruto countered while looking Miya dead in the eyes.
"When do you wish to assist Shigi and Kuno in this escape plan?" asked Miya while she ignored the shot aimed at her as the Pillar of the Sekirei and overall pride.
"Not for another week. This takes time and proper coordination is required or everything will blow up in our faces. Not only that, but I need to make sure I or someone I know can gain access to the security network at M.B.I. to ensure these two can escape Shinto Teito without company troops descending on them once they take two steps outside the city," said Naruto while seeing the potential escapees look nervous at the prospect of getting caught.
"And will that woman be part of your plan?" asked Miya with Naruto smirking.
"Maybe. You have a problem with that? Or with her?" asked Naruto while Miya's eyes became cold as ice.
"You know I do," replied Miya icily.
"Well whether or not you like Karasuba, I expect you to be civil if she comes over for something important," said Naruto with Miya not liking that one bit.
"And if I refuse?" challenged Miya while glaring at Naruto hatefully and making quite a few people in the room very nervous.
"Then we are going to have a problem. And by problem, I mean your home is going to become a crater with anyone siding with you buried in the rubble," replied Naruto while he saw Miya reach for her sword.
"She is filth. She deserves to die!" stated Miya while Naruto narrowed his eyes at her and shot three senbon needles from his hand that was under the table in order to block Miya's hand from reaching the sword.
"Why? Because she tried to have intimate relations with your husband? Need I remind you, the woman didn't know any better at the time? That she was a child in an adult body and thrown into fighting and killing to protect an island from greedy humans? That her mind was forced to accept things at a speed that would have destroyed a weaker person?" replied Naruto while Miya frowned at having the object she was reaching for being denied by well placed needles sticking into her floor matting.
"She told you," surmised Miya while many in the room were shocked by the reason behind her distaste for Karasuba.
"She did. The woman saw how you were with him. Karasuba thought that was how it was when a man and woman interacted with each other. She saw you, a warrior woman of the sword, swooning like a love sick school girl when around Takehito, and thought it was okay to have what you did with him. So she went for it, but Takehito was fighting her off mere seconds before you came into the room to see her advances. In some crude way...it was a rejection for her. And we all know what rejection does to a Sekirei," said Naruto while many in the room grimaced since some of them did know first hand.
Kazehana had became emotionally scarred by Minaka when he outright rejected her all those years ago. Finding solace by turning to booze. At the time of her being a 'Scrapped Number', Akitsu couldn't be accepted by anyone, and was rejected by just about every single person in her life before meeting Naruto. Hence her constant fear of being thrown away by any person she met.
"I am aware of what rejection does to a Sekirei. The fact it was an accident is the only reason why Karasuba is even alive. Takehito told me to let it go, but make no mistake I did not forget what she tried to do. Nor shall I," replied Miya with Naruto nodding.
"And if I could possibly one day in the future give you back your husband? Would you let it go?" asked Naruto with Miya's eyes widening in shock before they narrowed at him dangerously.
There was a very long and frightening pause following his statement.
"Do not joke with me about that!" exclaimed Miya venomously.
"Who said I was joking? I can do it. I just need some of his genetic makeup. Hair, blood, or anything else you have on hand that is in good quantity," replied Naruto with Miya now having a moment of indecision in wanting to know more out of curiosity and slicing the blonde man's head off for an offer that was clearly a lie.
"Why?" asked Miya with Naruto not looking away from the piercing eyes in front of him.
"His soul has left the body. And the body itself is no doubt either in the ground rotting or maybe you had it cremated. I need the genetic material left, if there is any, to get him a new body to anchor the soul back into it. Of course, there is more to it then that, but I will spare you the advanced mechanics behind the possibility to bring someone back to life. The point is Miya, it can be done with the proper...ingredients," replied Naruto while Miya somewhere between the emotional feeling of being surprised, cautious, overjoyed, and pissed off.
"Why can't you bring him back now? I can easily get what you seek to make Takehito a new body," said Miya with some hint of eagerness in her voice while Naruto sighed.
"Because one, the genetic material needed to make Takehito's body is only part of the equation. Not only that, but if Minaka learned I could do such a thing, he would no doubt try to stop me in some shape or form from doing it. He would probably even go so far as to kill Takehito right after I did it. Provided of course Minaka is even still alive at the given time, which I can sure you will not happen if all goes according to plan," replied Naruto while Miya felt her entire being was struggling from within.
"And you can do honestly do this?" asked Miya with Naruto nodding.
"Yes. IF you let go of your anger and distaste for Karasuba. You don't? No Takehito returning from the dead," stated Naruto while setting the terms for Miya in getting her husband back.
"That's blackmail!" exclaimed Homura angrily at last while glaring at Naruto.
"Its called shut up and deal with it. Miya is going to get her husband back and if all goes according to plan...Minaka will die too as an added bonus," replied Naruto while Miya looked at him with suspicion.
"Takehito's return and Minaka's death. They are connected in some manner," remarked Miya with Naruto nodding.
"Yes. A piece of a much larger equation. You can feel free to figure it out on your own how the two are linked together, but the fact remains that it will happen. Not right now mind you, but in the future when I know the time is right," replied Naruto knowing he had to deal with quite a few obstacles before bringing back Miya's husband and ending Minaka in the process.
The sad truth of it all was M.B.I. as a whole was needed to keep the Sekirei safe from the rest of the world. For the moment anyway. Minaka was a psycho, but he was a smart one. His genius was rivaled only by Takehito, who could have done so much for the Sekirei had he not died. Something Naruto suspected Minaka had a hand in doing if Matsu and Karasuba mentioning some top secret work the Game Master did not approve of was any indication. Most likely, Takehito was planning to refine the winging process so only the actual destined one could wing a Sekirei, and cut out the threat of forcible wingings from Ashikabi who they were not reacting to when near. Probably one of the reasons why there was no real rule about forcible wingings being forbidden in this game Minaka wanted to make out of the Sekirei population.
No doubt testing just how far a Sekirei will go in the name of love for their Ashikabi, even if the bond generating such feelings are hollow, and false in every sense of the words to describe it.
"I need time...to think it over," said Miya while Naruto nodded and motioned for his Sekirei to stand after he did.
"Good. I will let you know when things are ready on my end regarding the escape plan. Just do us all a favor Shigi. Kuno. Try not to get yourselves killed or deactivated before the week is out," said Naruto while walking out of Maison Izumo with his flock right beside or behind him.
"You can't honestly believe he has the power to bring back someone who has been dead for years? That would make Takehito a zombie or something!" exclaimed Homura with a tone in voice that said he was both angry and nervous regarding what Naruto had told the landlady.
"It sounded more complex then that Homura-san. Didn't Naruto say he was going to use samples of the man's DNA to recreate Takehito's body from the ground up?" questioned Minato, who had been silent until now, and sitting in the background to see how things played out.
"And who is to say it will be Takehito who lives in that body. There is no guarantee that such an act will bring back Miya's husband. For all we know, it will bring back an empty shell of a person with drool coming down the side of his face!" exclaimed Homura, as he really needed to talk to Takami soon about this and fast!
"You don't that for sure," commented Kaho stubbornly, but even she was a bit nervous at the idea of seeing someone brought back from the dead.
"I would rather not find out if it was or not!" countered Homura while Miya sat their with a contemplative look on her face.
She too was wondering if what Naruto told her was true? Could he use his power to bring her husband back from the dead? As she remembered him? Or would it just be an empty body with an equally empty mind with no memory of Miya? Was it some grand joke on his part? To keep her distracted? Or would Takehito be returned to the land of the living? For her to hold, kiss, and love once more like she had done before his death?
"Leave it alone for now Homura. And do not tell Takami about this," ordered Miya in a firm tone.
"W-What? But why not?!" demanded Homura before seeing Miya's icy glare sent in his direction.
"Because she might tell Minaka about it in a moment of panic. Do you really want that man to setup countermeasures against Naruto in bringing Takehito back?" asked Miya while Homura looked hesitant to answer.
"You don't deserve to have your hopes brought up, only to be shattered Miya. You don't know if what Naruto is offering you is some cruel joke or punishment for being inactive this whole time against Minaka's machinations," answered Homura with Miya nodding since Naruto could do just that.
"Perhaps, but I would rather see the end result of Naruto's actions then have Minaka ruin them, and question myself everyday about what could have been had he succeeded," said Miya while Homura sighed.
"Okay. I will back off for now. But if I find out that Naruto is messing with you, I am telling Takami and having her do something to control him," replied Homura with Miya nodding.
(Matsu's Room)
"So this is the safest and least guarded route out of Shinto Teito?" asked Naruto while Matsu brought up the city's overall design.
"Yep! Its the only place not being guarded. Not surprising since this is an old bridge. It is rusty and a bit unstable for any vehicle trying to go across it. But two people should be able to walk across no problem," replied Matsu confidently.
"Provided a fight between Sekirei doesn't happen or get out of hand," added Naruto, as he knew someone with similar punching strength as Musubi could destroy the bridge if they wanted to stop them.
"Not to mention M.B.I. has quite a number of satellites hovering over Shinto Teito with over half of them being military and capable of shooting just about anything they target with pinpoint precision. Not to mention that the devastation each one can cause enough damage to put a huge hole in the Earth," replied Matsu with Naruto frowning.
"Can you hack them? The military ones anyway?" asked Naruto with Matsu frowning.
"With my Norito active? Yes. Though holding onto all of them at once will be draining and the amount of time holding them won't be long," answered Matsu with Naruto now smirking.
"I don't need you to hold them for long. Just enough time to destroy almost if not all of them soon after taking control," replied Naruto with Matsu frowning.
"What? Why?" asked Matsu with Naruto's smirk increasing.
"You know the coordinates where the hidden island that your ship crashed into all those years ago, right?" asked Naruto with Matsu nodding while confused.
"Yes. It may not be on any official map, but I know the coordinates by heart. Why?" said Matsu curiously.
"Because those satellites are going to be programmed to target said island before you order them to explode or crash into the ocean," replied Naruto while Matsu grinned evilly at the idea.
"That is ingenious! In fact, the island was abandoned after Minaka moved everything off of it. All that's left is island itself, which I suspect he planned to use in the future for one of the next stages of the Sekirei Plan when things heat up. Without the island around to be used as an arena or whatever it is he has planned, Minaka will have a major monkey wrench thrown into the Sekirei Plan!" exclaimed Matsu before typing away furiously at the keyboard.
"That's the plan. We cause a great deal of commotion at M.B.I. while our little runaways make it across the bridge. The loss of the island will distract Minaka long enough for them to get out of Shinto Teito while we deal with the goon squads sent our way," replied Naruto since it was the only way this would work.
"There is still the issue of the tracking system M.B.I. has built into our crests. You are going to need Takami to help us with that part," remarked Matsu with Naruto nodding.
"And I highly she'll meet with me without raising suspicion. Which is why, we aren't going to call Takami to talk," replied Naruto with Matsu looking confused.
"We're not? Then who?" asked Matsu with Naruto smirking.
"Homura," answered Naruto with Matsu looking skeptical.
"Homura? Why would he help us?" asked Matsu since Naruto wasn't the fire Sekirei's biggest fan right now.
"Because as much as Homura dislikes me right now...he hates Minaka even more and I doubt the fantastic flamer will pass up a chance to stick it to the madman," said Naruto with Matsu shrugging since he wasn't wrong.
"Good point," remarked Matsu before she felt a hand rub her shoulder and move down to grope her breasts while sensing Naruto's desire for her through the bond.
"That's enough work for one day. Time for the fun!" stated Naruto hungrily while kissing Matsu's neck and making the woman get wet instantly.
He had been neglecting her a bit out of all of his Sekirei recently. Having Matsu use her brain based powers and thanking the woman only with a kiss every so often. Naruto knew she needed more and wanted more from what he could tell from the bond. She only held back in giving into her perverted nature due to the fact he had spoiled Matsu silly with lots of sex already. So her libido had been calmed somewhat compared to being starved if she were still living over at Maison Izumo with Miya denying all forms of sexual release.
"Oh yes. Fun time sounds soooo good right about now," moaned Matsu while feeling one of his hands leave her breasts and travel further south between her legs.
The chair would have to eventually be thrown out and replaced.
(Shinto Teito Park-Days Later)
"I can't believe Homura got you to call me like this. I feel like part of a cheesy retro spy movie sitting here on a bench talking to you in such a manner," remarked Takami while Naruto grinned with an eye smile on his face while he was under his henge to look like Jiraiya.
"Yeah well it was either this or I visit you at your home at night while you slept," replied Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami glaring at him.
"Don't even think about it!" stated Takami while Naruto gave her an imitation of Jiraiya's cheesy grin.
"What? And risk your female fury over seeing you in a lovely black nightgown that hugs your figure nicely?" asked Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami getting angrier.
"And just how do you know what nightgown I wear at night?" demanded Takami with a red angry face that would make Tsunade proud.
Seriously, this woman beside him was channeling the female Senju's spirit, and anger against perverts something fierce!
"I didn't. I just assumed. And thanks to you I now know its true," remarked Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami about ready to go postal on him.
"You will NOT speak of it to anyone. Understood?!" demanded Takami while getting in his face and glaring him right in the eyes.
"Maybe. Maybe not. It all depends on how cooperative you plan to be with the topic of conversation we are really here to discus," replied Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami calming down slowly before plopping back down on the bench.
"And the topic in question?" asked Takami through semi-gritting teeth.
"Sekirei Crests. Mainly the kill switches and the tracking system built into them," replied Naruto seriously while watching the people around them walking through the park.
"What about them?" asked Takami while being serious without the anger.
"I need you to turn one if not both off in a Sekirei named Kuno," replied Naruto/Jiraiya while Takami grimaced.
"You know I can't," remarked Takami.
"Can't? Or won't?" questioned Naruto/Jiraiya while glancing at her.
"Both," replied Takami while the serious look on the man next to her grew.
"Why?" asked Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami sighing.
"For one, Minaka would not take it well. The man is crazy, but I prefer him to be crazy happy to crazy angry," replied Takami while Naruto/Jiraiya snorted.
"Translation: You are a coward with no spine," remarked Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami glaring at him.
"What did you say?" demanded Takami.
"That you are a coward. You are in a position to do something for someone and you don't because you're afraid the big bad psycho for a Boss is going to be angry. You remind me of this woman I use to know from my past when I was a kid," replied Naruto/Jiraiya, as he ignored the glare, and saw the woman was getting a bit curious at the mention of his past.
"Oh really?" questioned Takami.
"Yes really. She was my Godmother in fact. Her name was Senju Tsunade. When I first met her, it was to bring the woman back to my village in order to run it as the new leader. Tsunade was the Granddaughter of the founder of my village so you could say it was in her blood to run the place. Her Granduncle had done it too so such an idea was further enforced. The problem was, my Godmother had lost that spark in her eyes due to losing her little brother during a war, and then her lover she met later on near the end of it. After that happened with the war ending, Tsunade left the village to drink, and gamble to her hearts content. When offered the position to lead our village, she laughed at the prospect of being the village leader, and said it was for fools. But I could tell despite being drunk, Tsunade wasn't saying those things and meaning it like she wanted me to believe. No. She was saying it because deep down...my Godmother was afraid. Afraid of going back to our village, running it, and trying to protect the people of our village from its enemies. She had come to the belief that anyone, who got close to her heart would perish just like everyone else that did. The concept of losing so much on a grander scale frightened the woman to no end," explained Naruto/Jiraiya while Takami frowned further.
"And how does this relate to me?" asked Takami while Naruto/Jiraiya shrugged.
"You have that same fear in your eyes. You want to help the Sekirei. You truly do. But your Boss and his actions against them makes you afraid. The fact you won't help me with just one Sekirei escape means you fear what he will do from losing just that one," explained Naruto/Jiraiya while Takami looked away.
"I play by Minaka's rules so the Sekirei as a whole don't suffer," replied Takami with Naruto/Jiraiya giving her a glare now.
"Bullshit! They are already suffering and you know it. I just lightened the load of their suffering. If you were really trying to help them, you would have made sure the Sekirei Plan didn't get this far, or they weren't used in a tournament where only one survives to stand on top of the mountain of bodies made up of their entire race. Honestly, one Sekirei above all others. What happens to all the Sekirei who share one Ashikabi? I'll tell you. They would have no choice, but to turn on each other. They would have no choice, but to break the bonds they already have with their fellow sisters, and that would emotionally scar the victor to no end," explained Naruto/Jiraiya while Takami frowned at the truth.
"My hands were tied. Without Takehito...things went to shit," answered Takami with Naruto/Jiraiya shaking his head and sighing.
"Yeah well that won't last much longer if I have anything to say about it," mumbled Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami giving him a questioning look.
"What?" asked Takami with Naruto/Jiraiya smirking.
"Forget it. What I want to know is will you help me get Kuno and her Ashikabi out of Shinto Teito?" asked Naruto/Jiraiya with Takami shaking her head.
"I want to Naruto. Believe me I do. But in truth...I just can't help you. Not with Minaka's finger on the trigger to make an example out of the other Sekirei," replied Takami while Naruto/Jiraiya sighed at her continued refusal.
"I was hoping it wouldn't come this. Your son was hoping you would help, but it seems Minato will be disappointed," remarked Naruto/Jiraiya while his one eye became the Sharingan and stared at a now shocked Takami.
"Minato? What did...you...tell...him?" asked Takami while seeing the Sharingan Eye spinning and trapped in the Genjutsu now influencing her mind.
"Sorry Takami, but this is for the good of everyone. When the time comes, you will help Shigi, and Kuno escape Shinto Teito. You will deactivate the kill switch and tracking system in Kuno's crest. You will also forget having this conversation with me or what you are going to do when the time comes," commanded Naruto while he watched how Takami's eyes continued to be glazed over and waited for the Genjutsu to take root into her brain.
When it was over, Takami found herself shaking her head, and looking around to find herself in the park. Alone. Confused on why she was here and not at M.B.I. ensuring that Minaka didn't do something crazy stupid, the woman got off the park bench, stretched her back, and quickly headed back to M.B.I. HQ.
And ignoring the small, but potent headache now pulsing in the back of her head that was secretly compelling her to do something when a certain event made itself known.
(Shinto Teito-City Streets-Nightfall)
"Are you sure I can't convince you to help us escort Shigi and Kuno to the bridge my ever beautiful Tsukiumi-chan? You do realize your help in this mission would be appreciated by everyone, right?" asked Naruto while Tsukiumi looked away with blushing cheeks.
He loved to make her blush and fluster.
"I have decided not to help them husband. Though I do appreciate thee offering me this chance one more time, the idea of helping these two does not feel right. I shall stay here to watch over the house with Matsu and ensure no one causes problems here on this end," replied Tsukiumi while she crossed her arms under her breasts and refused to look at Naruto knowing it would make her resolve crumble.
"All right. I understand. I won't judge you for it," replied Naruto before walking up to Tsukiumi and kissing her on the forehead to make the blush cover the woman's entire face.
"Don't worry Naruto-tan. I'm sure if you need Tsukiumi-tan's help, she'll gladly come to your aid," commented Matsu while Tsukiumi growled at her.
"Of course I would! I am his wife! And it is my duty as the wife to assist my husband in his time of great need!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while pointing at Matsu grinning a perverted grin.
"And would that 'great need' involve pleasuring Naruto-tan in bed or in the hot springs?" asked Matsu with a perverted laugh.
"Of course...it...means...I-I mean it is to say I would...I am the only one who...THIS NOT SOMETHIGN TO TALK ABOUT IN FRONT OF OTHERS!" exclaimed Tsukiumi now going into full angry tsundere mode and chasing Matsu around the house while the red head was screaming for someone to help her.
Sadly, it was only Tsukiumi, and Matsu in the house at the moment.
"Should we go back to save Matsu from Tsukiumi's anger Naruto-sama?" asked Musubi while hearing the rampage while they walked with Shigi and Kuno.
"No need Musubi. Tsukiumi knows not to hurt Matsu too much. Besides, all the running will be good for Matsu," replied Naruto with a smile on his face.
"Are you sure we can't have Minato and his Sekirei help us?" asked Shigi while eyeing the army of beautiful and very strong women surrounding Naruto.
Damn it the kid was envious.
"He's done enough. Besides, his Sekirei are not equipped to fight the Discipline Squad you two already met. Mine are. In fact, Karasuba here was once their Boss when they weren't ordered around by their Ashikabi," replied Naruto while pointing at Karasuba, who was smiling, and let out a giggle.
"I'm a bit curious to see how those two have improved since I saw them last. They have been so busy running around Shinto Teito since Minaka tightened his control over the city limits. Hopefully, they have gotten stronger despite having an Ashikabi, who...well let's just say is not fit to be one given his...lifestyle," remarked Karasuba while she was smiling at the confused pair near her Ashikabi.
"Lifestyle?" questioned Shigi.
"Let's just say he's not really into women and love. Think the opposite," remarked Naruto since it was best way to describe Natsuo.
"I see," replied Shigi before whispering the answer to Kuno since she didn't understand.
"Matsu, are you ready?" asked Naruto into his earpiece, which Matsu had ordered, and explained to him the wonders of the technology that surpassed the ninja headset from his time.
"All set over here Naruto-tan. Tsukiumi-tan finally stopped chasing me. I had to do some groveling, but I'm okay now. Still soaking wet, but alive, and okay!" declared Matsu into his earpiece and made Naruto sweat drop.
"Good. Standby for when the fireworks start. When they do, send Takami a text on her phone before working on the satellites," said Naruto while motioning for his group to stop.
"Will do! Any message you want to give Tsukiumi? She's kind of been sulking in her room the last time I saw her," said Matsu with a hint of concern for her fellow sister.
"Just tell her to be safe and keep watch in case of intruders. If I know Minaka, he's on high alert for an escape attempt, and will soon send a text out to any daring Ashikabi to make this more entertaining for himself," commanded Naruto knowing Tsukiumi was no doubt conflicted in being by his side and standing by her own convictions on this matter.
"Its a shame Tsukiumi didn't join us. Her powers could be really useful here," commented Musubi while Uzume nodded.
"True, but Tsukiumi had made her choice. Like I told her earlier before we left the house, I won't judge her for it. Musubi. Uzume. You two will go with Karasuba and make sure Shigi and Kuno get to the bridge. Keep an eye out for everything and anything. Shigi, I need you to take this," replied Naruto while handing Shigi a black briefcase he had been holding.
"What's in here?" asked Shigi curiously while taking it.
"Documents. Lots of documents I had Matsu create a new life for you, but I made sure everything in here was all legitimate just in case it went under any form of governmental scrutiny. Identification papers. Passports. Everything for the two of you need to start a new life together outside of Shinto Teito. Money in both domestic and foreign currency. Also, I had Matsu hack the accounts of some well known criminal organizations, pilfered their accounts, rewired the money into multiple offshore accounts, and finally put the total amount of money into three different bank accounts with the information on them in the briefcase. I even have some contacts in there, who can give you a job. Nothing major of course in terms of pay, but the money I already gave you isn't meant to be financially self sustaining. So for all intensive purposes...don't lose it or I will be extremely pissed off," replied Naruto while seeing the shocked expression on Shigi's face.
"I won't! I promise!" exclaimed Shigi happily while Kuno was crying tears of joy.
"Good, because I can't make another 'make someone disappear' package like that for a good long while," commented Naruto while motioning the two along with his assigned Sekirei to go to the bridge.
"What about us Naruto-kun?" asked Kazehana in a sensual tone.
"Simple Kaze-hime. WE are going to play a little game," replied Naruto with a grin.
"Ah...a game Ashikabi-sama?" asked Akitsu with Naruto's grin getting bigger.
"Yes Akitsu-chan. A game. A game called...Cause the most amount of damage in the city before M.B.I. knows what is really going on," answered Naruto while motioning them to follow him.
(Uzumaki Compound)
"You should really stopped being angry over this Tsukiumi-tan. You did wish to take no part in the operation," remarked Matsu while Tsukiumi paced back and forth with a look of angry uncertainty on her face.
"Silence thy perverted fiend. I do not need a lecture from the likes of thee! I am merely concerned for the safety of my husband," stated Tsukiumi while Matsu was waiting for the signal from their Ashikabi.
"That and you can't stand the idea of a weak Sekirei being allowed out of the Sekirei Plan to find happiness with her Ashikabi," added Matsu while Tsukiumi glared at her.
"She is a weak thing. Like a flower in winter. It would be more merciful for her to perish in battle. With dignity," said Tsukiumi while Matsu sighed.
"And if the roles were somehow reversed? You being weak and her being strong?" asked Matsu with Tsukiumi looking away.
"I would face my end gracefully and with honor!" declared Tsukiumi while Matsu just sighing at the woman's attitude.
"Do you even understand why Naruto-tan is helping Shigi and Kuno?" asked Matsu in a semi-lecturing tone.
"Yes. My husband wishes to see them be happy. To live a life filled with love and joy. Something they are not earning like the rest of us," said Tsukiumi while Matsu shook her head.
"There is more to it then that. Can't you feel it through the bond we share with him? The pain from the past? From his memories?" questioned Matsu while Tsukiumi stiffened for a second and slowly nodded.
"I have felt it. Like an echo of something that once was," replied Tsukiumi with Matsu nodding.
"He's seen people around him, who can't fight mind you, get consumed in battles they had no business being apart of, and yet did because they couldn't escape them. Kuno is one of those Sekirei who can't fight. She's not the fighting type. Personality or otherwise. Not only that, but there is no way true guarantee we can stop Minaka from ending our entire race with a simple push of a button or prevent him from reducing our numbers to a handful. Naruto-tan wants to ensure at least one Sekirei makes it out of Shinto Teito in order to live a life of love that many of us are being forced to fight over," said Matsu, as she saw Tsukiumi huffing angrily, and looking away.
"Why must she be allowed to escape? Why not all of us?" demanded Tsukiumi though it was more to herself then Matsu.
"Is that why you are so angry? Because Naruto-tan doesn't use his powers to help us, his Sekirei, live beyond the realm of Shinto Teito? Are you actually...jealous of Kuno and her Ashikabi?" questioned Matsu with Tsukiumi looking increasingly angry.
"I am not! Silence thy mouth before I drown thee in water!" demanded Tsukiumi with a red face.
"You are! You are jealous! You can't stand the idea of Naruto helping Kuno and Shigi because you want what she is about have!" declared Matsu while Tsukiumi becoming increasingly angry and fearful about being found out.
"Fine! If thou must know, I am jealous of that girl. Why can't it be me or us as a group who leaves Shinto Teito? Why can't it be us who get to live a life outside of the Sekirei Plan? We all have earned it and yet this frail thing my husband is helping is the one who gets to have such a life! How is that fair?!" demanded Tsukiumi angrily with tears now threatening to appear from her eyes.
"Life is never fair Tsukiumi-tan. You know that. Sometimes, we just have to role with the punches. Besides, its not like our Ashikabi isn't going to find a way for us to live a happy life. He is just making sure someone else has it first before we do," replied Matsu while Tsukiumi looked down.
"Does thou...Does thou believe I should have gone with my husband? To assist in his plan to aid the Kuno girl?" asked Tsukiumi nervously.
"Well...it wouldn't have hurt if you did. Though, I feel safer knowing you are here to help defend this place from an attack. I think Naruto-tan feels the same way too. Its probably why he's not angry with you over your decision to refuse being part of the overall group. While he doubts anyone could get into the compound without sheer numbers and extreme force, not to mention Miya-tan next door, it never hurts to have someone as strong as you here to defend it from harm," explained Matsu with Tsukiumi feeling slightly better.
"When our dear husband returns, I will humbly apologize for my behavior, and for not helping him like I should have from the start" said Tsukiumi while Matsu smiled and nod her head since it was the correct path to take.
She would have said more on the subject, if not for the beeping sound indicating several places within Shinto Teito were being destroyed. Satellite images showed Akitsu using ice projectiles the size of basketballs to destroy every building, car, and piece of road within her line of sight. Kazehana was using the wind to make tornados and twisters to sent everything and anything caught in their path everywhere.
And Naruto?
Naruto had caused the ground to crumble and collapse all around him. He had brought out his chakra chains and had them ripping anything and everything they grabbed out of the ground. Cars exploded. Buildings now had holes in them. The ground itself looked like it had been torn up by construction workers with the finesse of a drunken butcher.
"Showtime!" declared Matsu before going crazy on the keyboard, having been kissed earlier by her Ashikabi, and had the Norito on standby this whole time to use on the satellites.
She also used that time to send a text to Takami.
(M.B.I. HQ-At the Moment)
"How are you even allowing this?" demanded Takami at the sight of so much destruction caused by Naruto and two of his many Sekirei.
"Because its amusing Takami-chan. Look at that power! That skill! It is the sight of a true God! One who has truly ascended to the Heavens and now showing us what he can do as a result of such an ascension," replied Minaka before an alert came in and told him that the M.B.I. satellites were being hacked.
All of them!
And all of the military ones were now moving to fire on a location where an island only a handful of people knew existed.
"Now what?!" demanded Takami before she heard the sound of her cell getting a text and angrily opened her phone to read it.
Only for the woman's mind to go blank and a command from within the back of her brain left by Naruto made it to the forefront of Takami's mind. Compelled to obey, even if she didn't know it was a compulsion, Takami moved quietly with a purpose to the elevator, and left an actually surprised Minaka to deal with the loss of his secret island along with his satellites.
So much for enjoying how things play out. Am I right?
(With the Escort Team-Sometime Later)
"So far so good from the looks of it," remarked Uzume while looking around and didn't see any threats to them so far.
"It seems Naruto-kun is causing quite a lot of damage to the city. Exquisite!" remarked Karasuba, who was now feeling slightly aroused from the sight of the destruction off in the distance.
"But I want to fight a strong opponent," whined Musubi since she was itching for a fight against the other Discipline Squad that Karasuba had been apart of before Naruto came along.
"Don't worry Mu-chan. Something tells me that you will get your wish soon enough," remarked Karasuba before they finally reached the bridge without any problems.
"Well look what we have here. A bunch of big breasted bitches, a traitor, and a weak little thing with her weakling of an Ashikabi," came the arrogant voice of Benitsubasa.
"Hey! Kuno is fine just the way she is...when she's not crying...or whining...or fainting," replied Shigi with Kuno crying harder and slumping forward with each invisible arrow stabbing the girl in the back.
"Why do you have to be so mean?" asked Kuno while Shigi panicked and tried to make her happy.
And sucking at it.
"I don't believe it," remarked Haihane.
"What?" asked Benitsubasa curiously.
"That Kuno girl's breasts are bigger then yours," replied Haihane before laughing and making the pink haired Sekirei angry.
"SHUT UP! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" yelled Benitsubasa since she had an issue with other girls having bigger breasts then her.
"Sure it is. Because now I know you have the smallest breasts around," replied Haihane before she laughed some more.
"IT IS NOT FUNNY HAIHANE!" yelled Benitsubasa angrily while Haihane just kept on laughing.
"I see some things never change," remarked Karasuba while walking forward and giving the two a once over.
It was clear to her that neither had changed much either in terms of skill or power. The only reason these two were ahead of the curve as much as they were right now, was most likely due to M.B.I. making adjustments to them. In fact, Karasuba suspected these two were still getting adjustments on the side due to the lack of a power increase from Natsuo being their Ashikabi. If anything, Natsuo made these two weak just like he did her, and these two didn't know it because of their blind devotion to the gay hate filled man. It was clear Haihane wasn't all "gushy" over Natsuo. She knew her Ashikabi's preferences long before Benitsubasa did and even now the pink haired girl was clearly in denial. Hoping to make the gay man go straight by showing off her speed, strength, and skill in the coming battle.
A battle Musubi clearly wanted if the jumping up and down excitedly was any indication.
"Oh! Oh! Can I fight her?!" asked Musubi excitedly to Karasuba.
"I don't see why not. Naruto-kun does want you to get stronger. And so do I. So don't hold back in fighting the flat chested girl on my account," replied Karasuba with her words making Haihane laugh harder and Benitsubasa see red.
"You fucking traitor! When I'm done with this bitch, I'm coming after you and bringing your head to your fucking Ashikabi!" declared Benitsubasa before she charged forward with the intent of crushing Musubi before going after Karasuba.
She never did, nor could she ever, forgive Karasuba for just up and leaving Natsuo for her new Ashikabi. They were suppose to be the elite fighting force of M.B.I. that put the fear of Kami into all the other Sekirei. The fearsome Discipline Squad that would one day be out of the shadows of the previous two incarnations. They would wipe the floor with every Sekirei in Shinto Teito and be the ones to help their Ashikabi get what his scarred heart desires.
Then Uzumaki Naruto came along and everything changed.
Karasuba somehow left Natsuo and bonded with that baka. How that happened, no one really knew, and if they did know it was one of the few secrets kept that way. Natsuo did not care if Karasuba left, he didn't care about her, or the other two anyway. Him being an Ashikabi was a job, a highly paying job at that, and nothing more. Of course Benitsubasa had tried to seduce the man with her "charm", but the fact he was gay put a major cramp in the plan, and she didn't like how Haihane along with several others teased her over it.
Benitsubasa had first thought of Karasuba jumping ship had been a good thing. One less obstacle in the Sekirei's path to getting Natsuo to notice her and love the girl like she had always wanted. Something that Natsuo kept doing even after the Black Sekirei left and had no intention of stopping in terms of just being civil with the remaining two. Sadly for Benitsubasa, as the days went by, Natsuo only visited to give orders, check to see if they were still training, and left without so much as a goodbye.
It was becoming a depressing rerun on a daily level.
"Oh I highly doubt that little girl. Not with the motivation I have in mind. Mu-chan, if you can defeat this one in the next...10 minutes, I'll talk to Naruto-kun about rewarding you with a nice tongue bath in your special place," offered Karasuba knowing Musubi loved sex with Naruto even more then fighting and given how the erotic shrine maiden loved to fight...that was saying something.
"Really? Thank you Karasuba! I just love when Naruto licks my special area. He makes me so warm and tingly and the orgasms I feel are so wonderful!" exclaimed Musubi while Uzume, Shigi, Kuno, Benitsubasa, and Haihane all blushed red from her words.
"Amen sister. Amen," remarked Uzume while she knew from her own experience just how good the man's mouth was on her intimate female body parts.
"Remember, you have 10 minutes to win or else none of the special love from Naruto-kun tonight," said Karasuba with a smile on her face and saw Musubi get serious and charge toward Benitsubasa.
"You really have a way with words. You know that right?" remarked Uzume with a smirk on her face while Musubi tangled with her fist fighting opponent after loudly declaring her number.
"What can I say? I love to motivate Musubi. Such a lovely girl. She has so much potential and Naruto-kun wants it brought to the surface," replied Karasuba before glancing over at Haihane.
"I will take her on," declared Haihane while pointing at Uzume.
"No problem. I've been itching for a fight and a win," said Uzume while walking toward Haihane and prepared to fight the deadly claws using Sekirei.
"Come on you two. No time to gawk," said Karasuba to Shigi and Kuno.
With the opposition being distracted, Karasuba casually walked across the bridge with Shigi and Kuno while humming a little tune. The nervous Ashikabi and Sekirei hurried after her and glanced back every so often to ensure they weren't being pursued by the two Sekirei from the Discipline Squad. When they finally got to the end, it was clear neither of them could believe this was happening, or that they actually made it outside of Shinto Teito.
"Thank you! Thank you for helping us! Thank you so much! Please tell Uzumaki Naruto we are eternally grateful!" said Shigi while bowing in front of Karasuba and Kuno doing the same.
"Oh stop. You're making me blush. Now hurry up and run along. I have to destroy this bridge soon and I can't do it with the two of you still here," said Karasuba while waving them off.
The two bowed once more in thanks before running off. Hand in hand. The fear of being hunted left them and they smiled at finally being free.
As for Karasuba, she was actually happy for the two. A strange thing to be sure when considering how the woman found happiness in bringing about the death of others who were weaker then herself. Funny how things played out when you have an Ashikabi who gives you love, respect, and lots of sex to leave you bowlegged for a week.
Sensing someone or rather multiple Sekirei near her, Karasuba drew her sword with one hand, and blocked the staff aimed at her head. Sensing movement to the right, Karasuba caught the leg aimed her exposed side with her other hand, and saw just who it was that attacked her.
It was Higa's bloodhounds.
"So Higa sent the two of you after me. How cute," remarked Karasuba while staring at Ichiya and Toyotama while they glared at her.
"Our Master sent us to send your Ashikabi a message through your corpse," remarked Toyotama while her staff tried to press Karasuba's sword back.
"Really? Well he should have known better to provoke my Ashikabi and considering he sent you two...his intelligence is even lower then I thought," remarked Karasuba before pushing Toyotama back and threw Ichiya away.
"You really think we are the only ones out there? Higa-sama sent others to deal with your Sekirei in the city. Sent them to your home. Within moments, your Ashikabi along with all the other Sekirei he loves will be crushed!" declared Ichiya while Karasuba just let out an amused chuckle before it became all out laughter.
"What's so funny?" demanded Toyotama angrily.
"What's so funny is that you actually think you two can challenge me together. That your Ashikabi can challenge mine. That you can challenge my fellow Sekirei sisters," replied Karasuba while she smiled an evil smile at them.
"Shut up! Your Ashikabi is nothing compared to Higa-sama!" exclaimed Ichiya while she got ready to strike out against the Black Sekirei.
"On the contrary fool. MY Ashikabi is a God. Figuratively and literally when compared to yours. He is a God physically, mentally, and of course...sexually. Oh is he a God when it comes to sex. Does your Ashikabi ever have sex with you two? Does he last for hours on end? Mine does. Mine ruts with me for hours. He can screw me an entire day straight and has on several occasions," replied Karasuba while humming in delight at the memory.
"Shut up! You're exaggerating!" exclaimed Toyotama since the most her Ashikabi had done was last a solid 20 minutes and even then it took some effort on his part.
Something he rarely did when it came to his Sekirei.
"Oh I don't exaggerate about that. Not about my Ashikabi. And certainly not about the sex. Especially the sex," remarked Karasuba while her grin grew and dashed at Ichiya before the leg type Ashikabi could prepare herself for it.
She was instantly sliced in two.
"You...You killed her!" exclaimed Toyotama in shock at the sight of her dead sister and while she knew being killed was a possibility with a level 5 deactivation...it was frowned upon to do such a thing.
Considering their race's overall number just above a hundred.
"Your point?" asked Karasuba while flicking the blood off her sword.
"Why did you do that? You didn't have to deactivate her in such a manner!" demanded Toyotama while taking a step back every time Karasuba took a step forward.
"Why not? She would have done the same thing to me if given the chance for a level 5 deactivation. So would you. What makes your attempt any different from mine? Aside from being successful," questioned Karasuba while Toyotama growled.
"You are a monster. Some said you went soft after being winged by your new Ashikabi, but I know better, and your actions just proved it!" exclaimed Toyotama angrily before she charged Karasuba with the fight or flight instinct kicking in with the former option taking charge instead of the latter.
Given the gap in power and skill between them...the latter instinct would have been the wiser choice for Toyotama.
"Is this it? Is this all you have? I gain a better work out from by spars with my Ashikabi. Though its not really surprising given how the bond with your Ashikabi is so weak and basic. Not like mine. Had you faced me when I was winged to Natsuo, you MAY have proven a worthy adversary. But now? I don't even feel any sweat on my face," replied Karasuba while she blocked or dodged the attacks by Toyotama and loved how angry the woman got when Higa was insulted.
"Shut up! I am strong. Strong enough to handle anything thrown at me. Even a monster like you!" exclaimed Toyotama while she kept trying to hit Karasuba, but was failing miserably with each strike.
"If that were true, I would be hit by now. Or maybe even defeated and deactivated. But at your current level, I don't even have to use both hands," taunted Karasuba while blocking the staff of her enemy getting in close and punching Toyotama in the face.
"You...are...DEAD!" yelled out Toyotama after wiping the blood off her face and running down the side of her mouth.
"Big words little girl. Please do try to back them up," remarked Karasuba while her usual sword stance and said sword was now pointing at Toyotama.
Rather then say anything to the Black Sekirei in response, Toyotama charged forward, letting out a war cry, fully intent of smashing Karasuba's brains into mush. Sadly for her, the speed needed for that was something she did not have, and even if it was possible for Toyotama to move that fast...Karasuba herself was much faster. The Black Sekirei had always preferred to spar against those who were her equal if not better in terms of speed.
Toyotama wasn't even a threat with her given speed.
When the staff using Sekirei tried to hit Karasuba, all she got was air, and saw the only thing the weapon hit was an afterimage of the Black Sekirei. The Sekirei of Izumi Higa realized with horrified wide eyes she had taken the bait in being taunted, let her anger get the better of her mind, and left herself exposed to an attack.
With Karasuba smiling evilly right behind her.
"Just so you know, my Ashikabi also frowns upon the killing of other Sekirei. He feels the Sekirei should flourish and grow instead of fighting each other with the risk of some of us being killed off. Of course, I'm sure he will make an exception regarding you, and Ichiya given how your Ashikabi is or rather was Izumi Higa. We'll be sure to send him a rather clear message back after tonight's events are over," remarked Karasuba before stabbing Toyotama through the back and out the front with her sword.
As for Musubi, she was doing exceedingly well against Benitsubasa, who was getting angrier with each passing second. Musubi was not only moving faster then the pink haired Discipline Squad member, the shrine maiden was stronger too! Not to mention more skilled. Naruto had worked with Musubi day and night when training her to the ground in terms of fighting in the ways of Taijutsu. He first taught her the stances by doing them and then have her use them after watching him. Then had her fight him in a spar. All of which he won of course. Even now. Still, Musubi had come a long way from the naive shrine maiden who fought like a brawler, and relied on her power to dominate a fight. Naruto had shown technical skills can outmatch the strongest of opponents if you could outmaneuver them with speed, agility, and a sharp eye to go with just the right timing.
In short, Naruto was making sure Musubi was a Taijutsu machine, and become a very skilled Taijutsu Master when the time was right.
Something Benitsubasa was not prepared for in the slightest.
"I can't lose to you. No. I won't lose to some big breasted bitch!" exclaimed Benitsubasa angrily while wiping the blood off her face and refused to flinch when feeling a bruise there from when Musubi punched the woman in that spot.
"Hey! There is nothing wrong with my breasts and their overall size you big meanie. I will have you know Naruto-sama loves them very much! He loves to grab them, to kiss them, lick them, and sometimes put his penis in-between them," replied Musubi with a small pout on her face.
As for Benitsubasa, she was getting angrier at not only at being talked back to like this by Musubi, but the fact this big breasted Sekirei was able to have sexual relations. The pink haired Sekirei would have literally killed just about anyone, even it was Minaka himself to have such sexual relations with her Ashikabi. It was bad enough that Natsuo was gay and therefore clearly not interested in sexual relations with his Sekirei, but the fact this big breasted cow of a Sekirei got to have sex, and lots of it apparently just steamed the red Sekirei to no end.
So she was going to do something about it.
"Oh yeah?! Well lets see your Ashikabi do all that stuff to your boobs when your body is gets turned into a corpse! 'EXTREME QUAKE!'" exclaimed Benitsubasa with her fist hitting the bridge with all her might.
And caused everything around her to explode in a blast of pure destruction.
(With Naruto)
Naruto was not happy right now. According to Matsu, who had contacted him during his time messing with the city's overall décor, quite a few Ashikabi with their own Sekirei on hand had come out to fight him. From what the red head had gathered, each Ashikabi was under the employ of Izumi Higa, and they had been sent by the corporate jerk to ambush him. Higa had hoped to take Uzumaki Naruto out using several of the Ashikabi under his employ and remove the bane that had been in his life since the blonde primordial God arrived in Shinto Teito.
At the very least, Higa was hoping to take out a few of Naruto's Sekirei.
Naruto made a small mental note to pay Higa a visit and put him in his own hospital on permanent life support.
"Akitsu. Kazehana. How are you two holding up?" asked Naruto into his earpiece with each of his Sekirei having one.
"No problems here Naruto-kun. The wind will not falter against these Sekirei," remarked Kazehana before spinning around in such a way that it caused a massive tornado to send everything around her flying.
"Ah...I have won several times against my opponents Master," replied Akitsu in her usual monotone voice while defeating quite a few Sekirei of her own.
"As have I. Apparently, several Ashikabi thought they could make a name for themselves by having their Sekirei attack me," remarked Naruto before using the Shinra Tensei two seconds later to send a Sekirei with sais in hand flying into a building.
"Ah...rule breakers," commented Akitsu though her tone was noticeably colder due to the fact some of the Sekirei winged by these Ashikabi tried to attack hers.
"Indeed. Don't worry though. I defeated them easily. Some were even deactivated. Matsu, how is the house?" said Naruto since Matsu had also reported the house being attacked by multiple sides.
"Well those that Miya-tan didn't destroy underfoot with her presence were basically sent away and nearly drowned in the tidal wave Tsukiumi-tan unleashed on them. You should have seen it Naruto-tan! I have never seen Tsukiumi-tan so angry!" replied Matsu while she recalled how Tsukiumi marched out of the house and basically called upon all the water in the entire neighborhood before unleashing it on some very scared Sekirei.
"That's my girl," remarked Naruto with pride.
"I will not allow such vile wenches invade the sanctity of our home. It is the wife's noble duty to protect the sanctity of the house while the husband is away!" declared Tsukiumi, who had been behind Matsu, and ultimately scared the crap out of the red head.
"Tsukiumi-tan! You frightened me!" exclaimed Matsu while pouting at the blonde woman standing in a tsundere pose behind her.
"All that aside, I am very proud of you two just like I am of the others. Though I think we have done enough here. Akitsu. Kazehana. We're heading toward the bridge to get the others. An explosion happened there and I don't think it was caused by anyone on our side," replied Naruto since he suspected it was Benitsubasa and her "Extreme Quake", which from what Karasuba had warned him about was very powerful.
In fact, Naruto had it on good authority from Karasuba that the pink haired girl with no tits was always told to use it as a last resort. Apparently, Musubi had forced the girl to use it, and cause the bridge to be destroyed.
Naruto only hoped he got there in time to assess the damage and save his Sekirei from the attack.
(At the Bridge)
"What the Hell? Doesn't she realize you are here?" asked Uzume to Haihane with both Sekirei able to escape the attack and were now on the higher part of the bridge currently NOT destroyed by the punch.
"Yeah. But she's never been one to care about that. Benitsubasa probably feels justified since it would 'remove me as competition for Natsu's heart' or some crap like that," said Haihane while seeing the destructive force behind the punch.
"Do you still want to fight? Or do you want to flee? My Ashikabi is coming and will be here soon so you better make a choice real soon," replied Uzume with Haihane going pale since she knew facing Karasuba's Ashikabi was not a wise thing to do right now.
"Thanks, but I want to live. See ya around!" exclaimed Haihane before leaping away to a place where she knew it was safe to relax.
"Smart girl," remarked Uzume before descending down and assessing the damage done to the bridge.
"Ow!" remarked Musubi while pushing aside some rubble and rubbed her head before looking up to see Uzume there with an extended hand.
"Need a hand?" asked Uzume with a smile.
"Why yes thank you!" exclaimed Musubi before taking the hand and got to her feet.
"No problem. Though your clothing attire might be a problem," replied Uzume with a smirk.
"My...attire?" asked Musubi before looking down and gasped.
The attack done by Benitsubasa had destroyed almost all of her clothing and left the poor shrine maiden in just her panties.
"When Naruto sees you like that, he might just take you right here on the spot," joked Uzume while Musubi looked happy with stars in her eyes.
"You really think so?" asked Musubi happily while Uzume sweat dropped at the girl taking the joke seriously.
"Speaking of Karasuba, I think we should find her," said Uzume while trying to avoid the question.
"You're right! She was fighting two on one against those big meanies in an unfair fight!" declared Musubi with a sense of seriousness to it.
'Yeah. Those two bloodhounds against Karasuba in a straight up fight. It was unfair all right, but not in the way you're no doubt thinking Musubi,' thought Uzume while looking for Karasuba.
And found Benitsubasa instead.
"So you survived my attack. Not bad. For a big boobed bimbo. Let's see if you can take another one and survive that!" exclaimed a tired Benitsubasa and was about to unleash another attack.
"How about you don't," remarked Naruto while using chakra chains from his back to wrap the girl up and used them to throw the pink haired Sekirei away.
"Naruto-sama! You came!" exclaimed Musubi, as she ran up to him, and gave the man a big loving hug.
"Of course I would Musubi-chan. Now let's go find Karasuba-chan and go home," replied Naruto before he sensed the woman in question walk out of the dust cloud nearby and currently patting the dust off her shoulders.
"Karasuba-sama is so cool! She walked away from that attack by the mean girl without a scratch!" exclaimed Musubi while Karasuba let out a chuckle.
"Well I wouldn't say without a scratch. A nice hot bath would be nice given all the dirt and stuff currently staining my clothing. Speaking of clothing...," remarked Karasuba while seeing the state Musubi was in.
"Ah...she doesn't have any," remarked Akitsu while filling what Karasuba was saying.
"Sorry Naruto-sama. The attack destroyed my clothing," replied Musubi while hoping her Ashikabi wouldn't be upset.
"Its all right Musubi-chan. The clothing of my Sekirei is not important. Your lives on the other hand are important," said Naruto before kissing her on the forehead.
"How was your fun?" asked Uzume while Naruto smirked.
"As fun as can be. What about yours?" asked Naruto with Uzume shrugged.
"My opponent ran off and you threw Musubi's away. Karasuba took care of Higa's two bloodhounds. Their bodies are probably floating in the water right now," replied Uzume with Naruto nodding and made two Shadow Clones to find the two downed Sekirei.
"Does that mean Naruto won't lick my special place now?" asked Musubi with Naruto raising an eyebrow and glanced at Uzume, who nudged her head toward Karasuba.
"What? I was providing incentive!" defended Karasuba with her smile never leaving.
"Ah...I want to be licked in my special place too," said Akitsu while her cheeks were turning red at the thought of Naruto doing that.
"Me too! Me too!" exclaimed Matsu into the earpiece.
"Silence wench! Thy had thou time with my husband earlier today. If anyone is going to be pleasured by him, it shall be me!" declared Tsukiumi while Naruto sweat drop.
"Matsu. Tsukiumi. Have you two been eavesdropping this whole time?" asked Naruto with Matsu letting out a nervous chuckle.
"Oops! Matsu-tan has been discovered," whispered Matsu before laughing sheepishly.
"Incompetent wench! This the last time I trust a perverted concubine such a thee with watching over my husband!" declared Tsukiumi before the two got into a small verbal argument.
Well...Tsukiumi argued and Matsu tried to calm her down. With little success.
"At this rate Naruto-kun, you're tongue is going to be pretty sore," commented Uzume with a blush on her face while Naruto laughed.
"True, but such soreness will be worth it," remarked Naruto while M.B.I. choppers came into view just when Naruto's Shadow Clones brought Karasuba's kills back to the bridge.
(M.B.I. HQ-At the Moment)
Minaka was conflicted. Not something he felt in awhile or quite possible ever until now. It was hard to say. He honestly couldn't remember when was the last time such a feeling had made its way into his body or mind. On one hand, Naruto was making the Sekirei Plan very interesting. Making sure Sekirei were being winged by their rightful Ashikabi. Making sure everyone played by the rules Minaka himself setup so Ashikabi wouldn't get to full of themselves and ruin the game before it could truly start. That was good in his crazy and psychotic mind.
The problem Minaka was having right now, was the fact Uzumaki Naruto had caused a lot of chaos he couldn't fully control. First, Naruto actually helped an Ashikabi and his Sekirei escape Shinto Teito. No big deal. The various safe guards in place should have made sure they were caught, detained, and depending on their response to this...released back into the city.
Unfortunately, the various safe guards he had in place were shut down, or destroyed by Naruto one way or another. Granted it was only one Ashikabi and one Sekirei. Out of an entire race numbering just above the triple digits was barely a torn in his side. Besides, the Sekirei in question was weak, and wouldn't survive long enough for the next stage of the Sekirei Plan get officially underway. So it wasn't a problem. What was and still is a problem in his side was the fact all and he meant ALL of his military satellites had been destroyed. While the satellites were easily replaceable, they had been used prior to their destruction to destroy a certain island that officially did NOT exist. He couldn't even bitch over the use of the satellites on the island because it would cause him a whole lot of problems with the other governments.
During the failed invasion, Minaka had made sure there were no survivors to tell the tale of where they had invaded, and the rare few ultimately died trying to get onto the rocky shores. After failed invasion, Minaka removed the Kamikura Island right off the map, digital or otherwise, and lied to every nation stating there was no island. Basically, every soldier, land, air, and water based vehicle had been lost at sea for reasons unknown. Of course, each nation allied together to take the island had no choice but to go along with this. If these countries fully admitted to banning together to invade an island for rumored alien technology, but were beaten back by five of the aliens in question...well it would lead to a big embarrassing cluster fuck they would rather not get into with the citizens of the government they ruled due to the fact such an invasion violated several rules and laws written into the Geneva Convention.
Of course, the deal went both ways, as Minaka had basically told the United Nations that there was no island, there were no aliens, and there was no alien technology on the island. If Minaka revealed what happened with his satellites blasting an unofficial island out of existence, he would be facing the entire wrath of the UN for lying under Oath about what really occurred on Kamikura Island. He would essentially lose everything! His company, the wealth, the alien technology, and anything M.B.I. had created soon after acquiring the hidden island.
And Minaka's mood didn't improve since the island itself was going to be used later on in the Sekirei Plan in a future stage of it.
He could retaliate against Naruto. Or at least make the attempt. Press a few buttons, input voice command with a retinal, facial, brainwave, and heartbeat recognition verification system. Within mere moments, Minaka could have all of Naruto's Sekirei drop like flies, and they would stay shut down until he could take away all of the blonde's Sekirei.
There was just one problem. Naruto could bring them back with his powers. Naruto could come into M.B.I. within mere seconds of Minaka deactivating the blonde's large flock of Sekirei. Naruto could kill Minaka, take control of M.B.I. with Takami's help, and end the Sekirei Plan if he so chose to do.
Minaka was forced to come to one simple conclusion. One he did not like in the slightest since he was the Game Master in the Sekirei Plan. But what could he do against a God of the ancient world? Nothing!
So Minaka stayed his hand. The Game Master had to yield to the God participating in his game.
For now anyway.
(A/N: YAY! an update. Here is my gift to you guys. A super long (longest chapter for this fic EVER!) chapter for you all to love and enjoy. Sorry this took so long. I just kept on writing and writing without a means to stop and end the chapter sooner. Plus I felt the need to get this all out of my system now in one chapter while I had the chance. I just did not want to go through all the hassle of dividing the chapter into two of them. Until next time...PEACE!)
