Chapter 11-A Small Vacation

Naruto sighed happily. He felt happy. He should feel happy. And why shouldn't he feel happy? The man helped two Sekirei out. Stuck it to Minaka. Stuck it to Higa. And got lots and lots of sex with his Sekirei following these things upon his return home. His Sekirei certainly weren't complaining. Scattered as they were on his bed around him asleep. Exhausted. Yet happy all the same.

The only question now was...where did he go from here?

In truth, Naruto did not know where to go from here. Minaka had always been making the moves in this game and Naruto himself had acted accordingly to them. Of course, it was mostly due to the fact Naruto had been a stranger to this world, and needed to see how others did things. In the olden days of his youth, Naruto would have been the first to jump into the heart of the chaos, and improvise as things went on.

It's amazing how so many thousands of years can cause a hyperactive person like himself to calm down and mellow out.

A vibrating sound from his cell phone got his attention and reached for the object before opening it.

"Speak to me," said Naruto while having a feeling it was Takami on the line.

"Do you have ANY idea how much shit you put me through?!" demanded Takami with her tone of voice making the woman like she wanted to beat the shit out of him.

"If you mean sticking it to Minaka and the Sekirei Plan he created? Then yes. Yes I do," replied Naruto with a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

"Minaka wasn't happy with what you did. I wasn't happy with what you did. I know it was you who somehow used me against my Will," accused Takami with Naruto having a small smirk on his face.

"I have no idea what you are talking about Takami-chan. What exactly did you do?" said Naruto though his tone clearly told Takami he knew what she did.

"Don't give me that crap! You know what you did. Your weird powers surrounding your eyes made me do something. My son helped fill in the blanks when I finally got around to speaking to him," hissed Takami while Naruto chuckled.

"Oh so Minato told you about our talk, did he? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Did you by chance reveal to him your current job occupation at M.B.I. in terms of rank?" replied Naruto with Takami growling into the phone.

"I didn't have to tell him. He already knew!" stated Takami while Naruto sighing.

"You should have told him from the start after he winged Yashima or Kaho. Depending on who was winged first. The fact you didn't tell him even after he got Kusano was just bad parenting on your part," said Naruto knowing that his words while a bit harsh were no less true.

"I don't need any kind parenting advice regarding my son. Especially from you of all people!" remarked Takami while Naruto just shrugged.

"Really? Because I do have experience being a parent. Are you sure I can't give you a few tips? Pointers? Advice? Maybe make sure your daughter doesn't get knocked up too soon with her own Sekirei?" asked Naruto with Takami's growling tone getting louder.

"Leave my children alone. I mean it Naruto!" replied Takami angrily with her tone of voice leaving no room for joking.

Before she hung the phone.

"Rude much? Seriously, you really need to get laid woman. All that pent up anger and frustration must be killing you deep inside. I almost feel sorry for your vibrator. Or is the correct term being vibrators? You've probably killed quite a few of them from the years of growing stress," commented Naruto to himself before putting the phone away.

"Who was that Naruto-tan?" asked Matsu in a sleepy voice.

"Just an angry woman who needs to get laid," replied Naruto with Matsu mumbling to herself.

"That poor woman," whispered Matsu before going back to sleep.

'Agreed,' thought Naruto before going back to sleep himself.

Satisfying so many needy Sekirei was really draining.

(Days Later)

"Sekirei Diagnosis Day?" asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow while seeing his Sekirei all getting ready to leave.

"Yes. Its a day when all remaining Sekirei are to meet as a whole for assessment by the M.B.I. Adjustors. They are to see how much progress our bodies have made since we were let out of the labs and were winged by our Ashikabi. The meeting place is in neutral territory so fighting there is strictly forbidden," explained Musubi while Naruto nodded since this event was merely a physical.

Meaning his girls were going to be down to their bras and panties.

"I can come with you right? At least until you go inside?" asked Naruto curiously.

"Of course husband. I would prefer nothing less!" stated Tsukiumi since she wanted to be with her husband as much as possible today despite the command of the Game Master to report in for this event.

"Good to know. Though before we leave, is Akitsu wearing panties?" asked Naruto with everyone looking at Akitsu.

"Ah...yes Ashikabi-sama," replied Akitsu though not everyone was convinced.

"Prove it," said Uzume while raising an eyebrow at her.

"Ah...Ashikabi-sama?" asked Akitsu while Naruto sighed.

"She has a point Akitsu-chan. Given how you don't wear them, I need you to prove that they are being worn right now before we head out," replied Naruto in a gentle tone while Akitsu nodded and moved the front of her skirt to reveal she was in fact wearing panties meant specifically for this day.

"Well damn! I owe Matsu money now," remarked Uzume while seeing Matsu had in fact one their bet.

"Ah...they are uncomfortable," said Akitsu since she knew that her powers made her skin extra sensitive and the panties worn did not bring about comfort.

"I know they are Akitsu. And its only for today. When this is over, you don't have to wear them again," replied Naruto with Akitsu looking happy about that.

"Ah...thank you Ashikabi-sama," said Akitsu while she covered her front again.

"No problem Akitsu-chan. Just don't get rid of them until after the exam is over. If you can go the whole time wearing them, I'll give you a special reward later," said Naruto, which made Akitsu's eyes widen, and she nearly bite her lip.

"Ah...promise?" asked Akitsu hopefully.

"I promise. Just make sure they stay on until the end. Okay?" said Naruto with Akitsu nodding.

"Yes Master," replied Akitsu happily.

"All right. Lead the way!" exclaimed Naruto happily while the group headed out the door with his Sekirei all grabbing a piece of him.

Akitsu claimed an arm. Tsukiumi took the other. Kazehana, Uzume, and Musubi were on each of his shoulders and back while their arms were wrapped around his neck. Karasuba along with Matsu had an arm wrapped around his waist while being somewhat in front of him. It was an interesting sight to behold one man being held so closely and intimately by so many beautiful women. Many men muttered how he was a lucky bastard while many women looked at him with disgust at being a playboy and most likely a man whore. If it weren't for the fact crazy things were happening in Shinto Teito all the time on a daily basis, people would have complained to the police.

Not that it mattered since the police were on the payroll of M.B.I. anyway and were told by Minaka to let any and all weird things the company did be ignored on their end. They didn't really object to the Game Master's orders since the man's company now owned the entire city.

Added to the fact the police were now getting a paycheck six times the average rate you would find anywhere else didn't hurt either.

The large group consisting of one Ashikabi and seven Sekirei eventually made it to the center where M.B.I. was hosting the Sekirei Diagnosis Day event. Naruto watched as his Sekirei, one by one, let go of him, and went to get registered for their examination by the assigned Adjustor.

"I will truly miss thee while in there," said Tsukiumi while looking back at Naruto with love in her eyes.

"But we'll miss you more!" exclaimed Musubi, Kazehana, Uzume, and Matsu to the ire of Tsukiumi at being shown up.

"Ah...will you wait here Ashikabi-sama?" asked Akitsu while seeing Naruto chuckle.

"Afraid I'll abandon you Akitsu?" asked Naruto while Akitsu looked away for a second and moved back to hug him.

"Ah...afraid this is a dream," whispered Akitsu while Naruto held her.

"I understand. I've been there. But don't worry Akitsu. Its not a dream. And yes, I will be here waiting for you. All of you," replied Naruto while giving Akitsu a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Ah...thank you Ashikabi-sama," said Akitsu while the ice Sekirei before walking toward the center.

'I wonder how the other Sekirei will react to the sight of mine?' thought Naruto while he could only imagine how every other Sekirei would react.

(Inside the Building)

Sure enough, the presence of Naruto's seven Sekirei did turn heads once they entered the gymnasium. Not only because they were all Naruto's Sekirei, though that was the main reason, they were also very beautiful women among all the others in the room. Many of the Sekirei in the room whispered about how Akitsu was once broken and Naruto had done the impossible in giving the ice Sekirei her wings. Others whispered to each other about how Karasuba had become Naruto's Sekirei and had killed two Sekirei not that long ago. Kazehana got whispers over the fact she was Sekirei # 03 and was one of the strongest single digit Sekirei around. Even Tsukiumi got a few whispers about how she fought Sekirei # 05 Mutsu to a standstill and made the swordsman retreat.

"These wenches are right to fear me. For I am the strongest," remarked Tsukiumi while she glared at the other Sekirei around her.

"Not this again," remarked Uzume with a sigh.

"What was that?" asked/demanded Tsukiumi in a tsundere pose despite only being in her bra and panties.

"Please calm down Tsukiumi. We don't want to make a scene. What would Naruto-tan say if he saw you act like this?" said Matsu in the hopes it would calm the blonde woman down.

"Leave my husband out of this! I highly doubt Naruto would mind if I staked my claim in being the strongest here," replied Tsukiumi with anger and a hint of worry that Naruto would frown upon her words and actions.

"At least show some sympathy for poor Akitsu. She looks so uncomfortable right now," remarked Musubi while seeing Akitsu struggling with the desire to remove her panties due to the irritation she felt from them.

"Ah...uncomfortable," remarked Akitsu while she felt this was some kind of punishment she did not deserve.

"Don't worry Akitsu-chan. The discomfort will be over soon and then we can go back to our Ashikabi," replied Kazehana while Akitsu blushed slightly a bit at the mention of her Ashikabi and the promise of a special reward for keeping her panties on.

"Okay ladies! Form a single line in an orderly fashion for the assigned Adjustor you were given to examine you. Keep things civil!" exclaimed Takami into a megaphone and saw the Sekirei line up to get their measurements taken.

Not far from Naruto's Sekirei, two others were in another line waiting to get measured, and one had a mean temper.

"Can you believe those big boob bimbos? Walking around like they are so superior! And the fact their Ashikabi turned Karasuba against us...!" stated Benitsubasa before she let out a frustrated groan.

"Not to mention said Ashikabi they have threw you half way across the city," remarked Haihane with a snicker.

"Shut up Haihane! If I could, I would smash my fist against that guy's face!" exclaimed Benitsubasa while shaking her fist angrily.

"Calm down. You know the rules. Fighting here is forbidden. Meaning no using your powers," said Haihane while Benitsubasa growled angrily.

"Impressive Tsukiumi. Your already impressive bust has increased by one centimeter," commented Takami after she finished measuring Tsukiumi.

"Ha! Did thou hear that Musubi?! Akitsu?! How does my bust now compare to thee?!" demanded Tsukiumi while turning around to face her "rivals" for Naruto's affection.

Only to see Musubi had been tied up in measuring tape by Karasuba, who had decided to "help" in giving the girl her measurements before reporting them to Takami.

Well well. It seems Musubi's bust has increased quite nicely too," commented Takami while writing them down.

And making Tsukiumi freaking out over her "loss" to Musubi.

It also didn't help Tsukiumi's frail ego when she heard that Akitsu's bust had increased by three centimeters. Even if Tsukiumi's was the second largest among the three, it was still depressing to know her bust increase had not improved as much as the others.

And she wasn't the only one.

"What? 97? 92? 94?! Those things are huge!" exclaimed Benitsubasa angrily over the fact these girls had breasts that made watermelons look small.

And her own breasts were practically nonexistent.

"Compared to yours, even mosquito bites have bigger bumps," remarked Haihane while Benitsubasa growled at her.

"Hey! Don't declare a winner until you hear my measurements," called out Kazehana while appearing with the group and ignoring the angry pink haired girl glaring at them.

"No way! You're measurements are bigger then mine?" asked Musubi while they walked out of the gymnasium.

"Of course dear! Don't worry though. Naruto-kun loves all of us no matter what bust size we may have," replied Kazehana while glancing over at Tsukiumi, who currently had a defeated look on her face.

"Well he does have a big heart," commented Uzume before Matsu and Karasuba came over to join them in the locker room to get dressed.

"That's not the only big thing Naruto-tan possesses," remarked Matsu before letting out a perverted laugh while the others blushed since they knew what she was referring to about their Ashikabi.

"Ah...you mean Ashikabi-sama's big penis being big, right Matsu?" added Akitsu since she wanted to confirm that was indeed what the red haired woman was referring to about Naruto.

"Yes Akitsu-tan. I was," replied Matsu while sweat dropping at the bluntness of the ice Sekirei.

"Silence! It is not proper for us to be discussing my husband's manliness in such a place where others can hear. Even if what thy say is true about his manliness being big," said Tsukiumi while her face was slowly getting redder the more she talked.

"Says the woman thinking about it being inside of her," commented Uzume while she smirked at Tsukiumi's atomic blush.

"Silence wench! Thou will not speak such...such slander about me like this!" exclaimed Tsukiumi angrily while shaking her fist at Uzume.

"You say slander, but Matsu-tan sees your face saying she was thinking naughty thoughts about Naruto-tan," commented Matsu with her usual perverted laughter following.

"Ah...naughty thoughts," added Akitsu while pointing at Tsukiumi despite the fact she was also having them too.

"Does that mean Naruto-sama will have to punish Tsukiumi? Do you think he will punish her with a spanking? Or something else?" asked Musubi while Tsukiumi was shaking her fist in anger while the woman's face red from humiliation and embarrassment.

"Thou are all fortunate the rules state we cannot fight here or I would smite thee for this!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while she glared at her "rivals" with her hair moving around wildly.

They would have talked more after finished getting dressed if not for the explosion of power from an angry Benitsubasa. She had overheard them talking in the changing area and was getting jealous of them having such a loving Ashikabi. Natsuo was affectionate at all to her or Haihane and it hurt the pink haired Sekirei that he just came by just to give orders before leaving. These damn big breasted bitches had everything a Sekirei could want in an Ashikabi and she had nothing! No loving Ashikabi. No love. No sex life. And not TITS!

Hence why she had used Extreme Quake in a fit of anger and destroyed the building.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. They were stupefied as to what happened, but surprisingly no Sekirei was deactivated, and no human was harmed in the act.

"Well that takes care of that," commented Homura while in his Sekirei outfit and looking unsure of which side to go on in terms of gender.

He had been reacting to someone a short time ago and already his body was acting just as Takehito had warned him about. How it would should he have a reaction in terms of his body changing to meet the standards of the Ashikabi reacting to him.

Damn his future Ashikabi! He didn't want to possibly turn into a woman. He was a man! A MAN!

(Shinto Teito-Beach Area)

After Naruto's Sekirei caught up with him following the center M.B.I. used for their physical of all the Sekirei, the three eyed, two horned Ashikabi for a primordial God decided they should go somewhere nice. Somewhere that could allow them to relax and just enjoy the rest of the day. Fortunately, Karasuba knew of such a place, which just so happened to be a nice beach resort like area, and was in what was label neutral territory.

Meaning fighting here was also strictly forbidden.

The group made their way to the beach, the Sun in their face, and warm beach weather being felt the moment they arrived. Not that far away, Sahashi Minato had also arrived with his three Sekirei, and Seo bringing his bondage twins with him too. Apparently, Kaho was told about this place in passing by Karasuba, who told Minato, and in turn told Seo about it too. Though Naruto suspected Seo already knew about it, but just accepted the information anyway just for the Hell of it.

"Feeling better Akitsu?" asked Naruto since he knew the woman was now panty free at the waist.

Instead, she was wearing a long skirt with a slit near the top to show off a lot of leg, and was currently topless so everyone could see the ice Sekirei's breasts.

"Yes Master," replied Akitsu happily to feel such...freedom from the irritation she had to endure earlier.

"Come on. Let's setup on the beach," said Naruto while taking the woman's hand and the group got unpacked at the beach.

And most of his Sekirei instantly removing their clothes to reveal they had their bathing suits on underneath.

"That is not proper. Come Musubi. We shall change clothes in the changing area like true ladies should," commanded Tsukiumi while walking toward the locker room area with Musubi nodding before following Tsukiumi.

"Kazehana isn't going to join us?" asked Naruto since he saw Kazehana was the only one who wasn't here.

"She said something about how the sunlight would ruin her creamy skin color. I think she went inside to relax," replied Uzume while Naruto nodded since that made sense.

"That's okay. I'll check on her later," replied Naruto while sitting shirtless in his beach chair with an umbrella providing him shade in orange swim trunks.

"So you are just going to lounge here in the shade?" asked Uzume while Naruto smirked.

"For now. I might join you girls a little later. Besides, its fun to watch the entertainment heading our way," commented Naruto while glancing to his right.

"GET BACK HERE!" yelled Tsukiumi while she was chasing a laughing Musubi.

"No way!" exclaimed Musubi while laughing at Tsukiumi's flustered face.

"Come back here thy perverted bear!" called out Tsukiumi.

"A bear?" questioned Musubi while looking back.

"That's right! And thou shall pay dearly for putting thy perverted paws upon my bosom!" declared Tsukiumi while Musubi laughed.

"Only if you can catch me Tsukiumi!" Musubi called back in a teasing tone.

"Come back here! Take thy punishment like an adult!" called out Tsukiumi while still trying to capture the Fist Type Sekirei.

"No way!" replied Musubi while staying well ahead of her angry chaser.

"See? Entertainment!" stated Naruto with a big grin on his face at seeing his busty Sekirei running around chasing each other, splashing each other in the water, and basically doing stuff he could easily use for inspiration in his Icha Icha Paradise books.

"Ah...Master," whispered Akitsu while sitting down next to him and leaning in close.

"Yes Akitsu?" asked Naruto while the woman had a very sensual look about her now.

"Ah...you said I would get a special reward for wearing panties today," replied Akitsu while Naruto nodded.

"That I did. I take it you want your reward now?" surmised Naruto with Akitsu nodding.

"Ah...yes," answered Akitsu while looking hungrily at him.

"Okay. If that is what you want. What special reward does my Akitsu-hime want?" asked Naruto while deciding to make it lady's choice.

Akitsu's answer was to move on top of him, straddle his waist, and moved his swim trunks down enough to free his growing erection. Raising an eyebrow at her boldness, Naruto quickly glanced at his Sekirei, and the others who joined them on the beach. Seo was laying back, drinking a cold beer, and not caring about the fact he would no doubt be getting fired from his place of work...again! Minato was also sitting in a beach chair right beside him, though the boy had a cold soda instead of a beer, and was just relaxing for once without having to worry about something bad happening to him. The bondage twins were topless, but on their stomachs, sleeping most likely, or just sun bathing. It was hard to tell with their eyes closed and being far enough away. Yashima, Kusano, and Kaho were playing with the others in the water with a beach ball or splashing others with water.

Musubi had outrun Tsukiumi, who swore revenge against the fist fighter at a later time, and decided to have some fun in the water.

"Ah...I want to be on top of Ashikabi-sama," replied Akitsu while parting her skirt easily enough so she could descend on his erection.

"And in a public place no less. Are you absolutely sure about this Akitsu?" asked Naruto though he had no problem doing it.

He just wanted to be sure she this was what the woman wanted.

"Ah...yes. Ashikabi-sama promised," replied Akitsu with Naruto smirking while letting his monster enter her slowly at first.

"That I did. I just wasn't expecting my needy Sekirei to want this in an opening setting and risk getting caught. Though I suppose you wouldn't mind people seeing us like this, am I right?" questioned Naruto with a grin while feeling the woman on top of him move and shift with him inside of her.

"Ah...I want to be seen. I want to be seen having sex with my Ashikabi-sama. I want to let everyone know I am with you now and forever!" replied Akitsu while she began to ride him and it felt wonderful in her mind.

"Such a naughty Sekirei you are Akitsu-chan. Maybe I should risk the others seeing us like this and spank you," remarked Naruto while Akitsu seemed to clench him tighter at the idea.

"Ah...please spank me Ashikabi-sama," pleaded Akitsu, as she was having her fantasy of having sex with her Ashikabi in public and being spanked by him at the same time.

"As you wish my dear hime," replied Naruto before he did just that, but at the same time the man had secretly cast a Genjutsu over them to hide their activities from the others.

He didn't need Kusano to see what was going on. Or for one of his other Sekirei (namely Tsukiumi) to get angry at the sight of him having sex with Akitsu and doing something drastic. As far as everyone knew, Akitsu was sleeping while lying halfway on top of him, and simply enjoyed being near her Ashikabi.

He did promise Akitsu a special reward after all. It would be wrong to allow someone to ruin this moment for her.

(Uzumaki Compound-That Evening)

The day soon went by pretty fast. Naruto and his happy group of Sekirei decided to return home after playing on the beach and using the bathing area. It was almost a perfect day turned evening, if not for Benitsubasa showing up with Haihane and in an act of anger (thanks to being hit by a ball of water via an angry Tsukiumi chasing Musubi around the bathing area) used her power yet again to destroy the beach resort. Fortunately, no one was actually hurt from the act, but Naruto still made it his business to jump kick the girl in the face with enough force to send her through two buildings simply because he could. Giving a stern warning look to Haihane made the Blue Sekirei raise both her hands in a show of surrender, which was fine by Naruto before he grabbed all his Sekirei, and used Kamui to return home.

"That was so much fun. We really need to do that again some time," said Musubi with a smile on her face while Tsukiumi glared slightly at the woman.

"Thou should be locked away for thy perverted actions," remarked Tsukiumi while she crossed her arms under her bosom and made them more...pronounce in the process.

"But Naruto-sama does it to us all the time. Don't you enjoy it when Naruto-sama grabs your breasts?" questioned Musubi while Tsukiumi's face went atomic red.

"Have thee no shame?! Asking a woman such a thing is not proper. Especially in front of her husband no less!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while Naruto smirked.

"Translation: Tsukiumi does love when I do it, but won't admit such a thing because that would make her appear to be a lewd, and improper woman," said Naruto while Uzume and Matsu giggled.

"Husband!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while Naruto smiled at her and gave the woman a kiss on the cheek to further enhance the red already on her face.

"Don't try to deny it Tsukiumi-chan. Besides, I know you like it when I grab your large wonderful breasts," remarked Naruto was his hand gave one of those said breasts a nice loving squeeze.

"I-I...that is to say...w-we...you...you are my husband and I...I am...WHAT ARE THOU LOOKING AT?!" exclaimed Tsukiumi when seeing all the others looking at her with amused expressions on their faces.

"Ah...naughty Tsukiumi," remarked Akitsu while she was pointing at Tsukiumi, who had begun growling at her, and fuming heavily.

'Says the woman who had sex with me on the beach earlier with others there to possibly catch us,' thought Naruto while a sense of amusement was released by him through the bond to Akitsu, who was able to surprisingly fight back the blush that wanted to creep up her face.

"At least I do not need to be reminded or check for wearing panties when required," said Tsukiumi while pointing at Akitsu.

"Ah...says someone who is a panty flasher," countered Akitsu knowing it would make the woman angry.

And she was right.

"Thou shall pay for this insult wench!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while moving to smite the ice woman.

"Both of you stop it right now! Don't make me punish the two of you!" called out Naruto with both woman narrowing their eyes at each other for a second before conceding to his command.

The last thing either of them wanted was to be punished by their Ashikabi.

"Ah...lucky save," remarked Akitsu while Tsukiumi was silently fuming at the ice woman getting the last word in between them.

They were about to settle in for the night when a simple knock was heard coming from the front door of the compound. Curious as to who would be here so late at night, Naruto used his Byakugan to see that it was Kochou of all people, and Sekirei at his doorstep. With a nod to Karasuba, who had her sword in hand to ki-uh injure the Brain Sekirei at the given command, Naruto opened the door to see the nerdy, yet still attractive woman standing there at attention. The primordial God knew Kochou wasn't a threat. Nor was her Ashikabi or the Ashikabi he served.

They were still pains in his Godly ass, but not threats to him, or his Sekirei.

"Kochou-san. I wasn't expecting you to come here. Or anyone Higa or Kakizaki sent to my home. Few who cross me tend to visit or send their servants to march to their deaths for them as an appeasement to my wrath," remarked Naruto while giving her a piercing look that said "tell me why you are here now!" to the smart woman.

"My apologizes if my presence offends you Naruto-sama. I have come here on behalf of myself and my survival. If I could come in and speak to you, I would be most grateful," replied Kochou while trying to keep her composure under his eyes.

"Neither Kakizaki or Higa sent you?" asked Naruto curiously while Kochou shook her head no.

"No. Neither of them know I am here. I have used my powers to put the security cameras placed by Higa in my home for 'safety purposes' in a well placed loop from this time as of yesterday. As far as his hired security are concerned, I am at my floor of Higa's company reading a book, and will soon retire to my bed for sleeping. The security personnel, who are watching the loop as we speak are not the same ones from yesterday so they will be none the wiser," replied Kochou with Naruto narrowing his eyes at her.

"Very well. Come in. No one will hurt you unless I give the order. BUT, I warn you here and now, if you pull something that causes any of my Sekirei to be hurt in any way, or if Kami forbid they be deactivated...you my dear Kochou are going to be suffering a long time before I end you...painfully! The same goes for your Ashikabi and his Boss. Do I make myself clear?" said Naruto while Kochou nodded and walked into the house where she saw Karasuba was watching her carefully with the sword she loved to wield ready to be unsheathed should Naruto give the order.

"So we can't fight her?" asked Musubi with a hint of depression in her tone.

"Not right now Musubi. Besides, we all know it would be no contest between you and her in a fight simply because Kochou can't fight," replied Naruto with Musubi nodding since she knew a fight wasn't a fight if one of the two combatants couldn't fight.

"So why are you here Kochou? And under the nose of your Ashikabi and Higa no less?" asked Uzume while watching the woman carefully for any hint of deception.

A Brain Sekirei may not be able to attack physically, but they could come up with plans, and tactics for others to use. Even if it meant being used as a pawn yourself to get the job done. Though even Uzume knew Kochou would never be allowed to be used in such a manner due to her intelligence gathering skills and the fact Higa used the woman's power for his schemes to blackmail and use other Ashikabi to do his dirty work for him.

"I am here because...I wish to be free from Kakizaki as my Ashikabi," replied Kochou while the other Sekirei and Naruto himself looked at her in shock.

"You want me to undo your winging? Meaning it was a forced one?" asked Naruto just to be sure he was doing this for the right reasons.

"Correct. Kakizaki is not my actual destined one I am meant to love. My winging to him was not a natural one. He had heard about the Sekirei Plan by mere chance from another Ashikabi, who Higa had blackmailed for information on the issue. Kakizaki wished to get one so that he and by extension the Sekirei he winged could serve Higa on a more direct level. He instantly knew I was Sekirei because of the clothing and physical aspects all Sekirei have are not what you would call...standard in terms of blending in with today's society," explained Kochou while she was quick to glance at Akitsu, Musubi, Tsukiumi, Kazehana, and even Uzume despite the latter wearing the skin tight jeans and pink shirt and yellow star on it.

Kochou didn't glance at Karasuba out of fear of the woman taking her head off simply for doing it.

"I catch your meaning. So he winged you and brought you to Higa to use your powers in the name of usurping the Sekirei Plan as much as legally allowed in the game by Minaka for his own nefarious schemes. Meaning he could find out when Sekirei were being let out of the labs? How many were let out? What powers or abilities they possessed? And anything else you could get from the M.B.I. database, am I right?" questioned Naruto with Kochou nodding.

"Correct. My actions alone through their shared control over me have allowed for Higa to acquire a large portion of Sekirei already. In addition, he has also forced other Ashikabi with their own Sekirei to fight for him when called using the personal information I have gathered on them. Information that would be humiliating, embarrassing, and ultimately destroy these people if allowed to be seen by others with lawful authority. And not just Ashikabi, but others throughout Shinto Teito, and throughout Japan itself so Higa can take the fight to Minaka when he feels the time is right," replied Kochou while Naruto nodded since he suspected as much.

He was having Matsu do the same thing in terms of getting dirty secrets the politicians with serious political muscle within Japan had on hand. But Naruto didn't stop there. He also was having Matsu get these dirty secrets from throughout the world's leaders and their immediate subordinates and their subordinate's subordinate. This was done as a backup contingency so if even one major influence in the world stepped down, retired, or was killed for some reason, the replacement wouldn't be too difficult for him to place in his pocket to cash in later on.

"But he's nowhere near ready. Besides, Minaka would be able to pull the plug on his plan with a snap of his fingers before the jerk could give the order. Not only that, but Higa just recently lost his two personal bloodhounds, and muscle in terms of protection detail for himself thanks to Karasuba taking them out on the bridge. Add to it that a good chunk of the Ashikabi under his employment were defeated soundly by Tsukiumi here when they attacked my home further weakened his position. It is only a matter of time before I decide to go on the offensive and put my foot to his throat with the inevitable 'crunch' from the pressure there being felt.

"Yes. Which is why I am here. I concluded that it was only a matter of time before you made your move against Higa and Kakizaki. If Higa is killed, Kakizaki will no longer feel the need to participate in the game, and end my contract with him. Though I fear he will do it in a painful manner just to spite me. If Kakizaki dies, then I will be deactivated instantly, and Higa will no doubt throw my body away like trash to M.B.I., but only after taking a few genetic samples from my body for his company to possibly study before I am properly collected by M.B.I. troops. I do not wish to be deactivated in such a way or at all if it can be helped. I also do not want my body being...exposed in such a manner like I theorize will happen if left alone with Higa," replied Kochou while Naruto nodded and felt Akitsu's sympathy for the Brain Sekirei's fear at the mention of being thrown away once deactivated.

All Sekirei feared such a thing, but Akitsu feared it above all others when she was labeled the "Scrapped Number" by M.B.I. after breaking out of the labs.

"You do realize that once I do this, you will have to find your rightful Ashikabi all over again, right? That Higa and even Kakizaki will take offense to this? That they will seek to hunt you down to be winged by one of them again or possibly killed soon after finding your Ashikabi?" questioned Naruto with Kochou nodding.

"I have calculated a ninety five percent probability such a thing would occur once they discover I am missing. After the initial incident you caused in Higa's office, I instantly knew he would retaliate in some manner. I know Higa well enough since I was ordered to work for him to know that what he felt that day was a stab to his pride and would wish to remedy that instantly with your death if not the death of all your Sekirei. Hence why Higa hired the mercenary squad that attacked you and your Sekirei in the hotel not far from here all those days ago," replied Kochou with Naruto glancing at the others to see them frowning at the memory of their hotel room being shot up.

"I can free you from the bond. No problem. The question though is who will you find for an Ashikabi so late in the game? No offense Kochou, but I don't think it will be me and I don't forcibly wing Sekirei," said Naruto with Kochou nodding.

"I agree. As things stand, I would prefer not to be forcibly winged by an Ashikabi after being freed from one such winging," stated Kochou since she had a feeling none of the women around Naruto would be so welcoming.

"Well fortunately for you, I know of a nice safe place across the street you can hold up after I undo the bond. Miya has been in need of a new intelligence gatherer regarding all of dealings M.B.I. has done after I swiped Matsu from her. And unlike Matsu, she won't have to worry about you peeping, and doing perverted things in her Inn. when no one is looking," remarked Naruto while Matsu had anime tears running down her face.

"Naruto-tan! Why do you have to make what I do sound so bad?" whined Matsu while Naruto let out a chuckle.

"Because it is bad Matsu," replied Naruto with Matsu slumping in defeat.

"You don't mind me being a pervert when we couple," grumbled Matsu while Naruto again smirked at her.

"That's because its just you and me. What you did before was peep on everyone and Miya would smack you on the head with her ladle," countered Naruto with Matsu slumping her head once more in defeat.

"So mean," whispered Matsu with a rain cloud over her head.

Though whether Matsu was referring to Naruto's words just now or Miya's ladle of doom was anyone's guess.

"Okay. Enough with the small talk. Time to help out this poor Sekirei here and give Miya a new tenant. Just so you know, she already has an Ashikabi for a tenant living at Maison Izumo, but he's a good kid," remarked Naruto before summoning his staff and put it on the Brain Sekirei's forehead.

"Will this hurt?" asked Kochou with a hint of concern in her usually stoic voice.

"There will probably be some minor discomfort. If the bond is weak, it shouldn't be that severe. A minor pinch or pin prick at most," replied Naruto before he used his power to find the weak bond Kochou had with Kakizaki and cut it like one uses scissors to cut a singe thread of string.

Kochou didn't even wince despite the minor pain she felt from it.

"Interesting. I do not feel any loss from the bond with Kakizaki. Only a sense of...relief," remarked Kochou while Naruto nodded.

"A forced winging is like a forced marriage. You are bound to the other person, but do not feel anything for them. Think of it as being put in an unhappy marriage where the love does not exist," replied Naruto with Kochou nodding.

"I see. Your words make sense. Thank you for helping me with this matter. I can now find my true Ashikabi," said Kochou before she bowed and left the Uzumaki Compound.

"Nice woman. A bit formal and stiff in terms of personality, but she was still nice," said Naruto while Tsukiumi let out a scoffing noise.

"She is most fortunate you were feeling so generous husband. I would not have been so kind," commented Tsukiumi while Naruto sighed and gave the woman a nice kiss on the cheek.

"Calm down Tsukiumi. I have no intention of winging another Sekirei. Especially one I am not reacting to in the slightest. Okay?" said Naruto with Tsukiumi blushing at his way of getting her attention.

"Very well. I shall accept thy words and calm down. But that does not mean I will not be with you tonight in bed! I demand my own time with thee after what Musubi did earlier on the beach and in the bathing area!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while glaring at Musubi.

"And what exactly did Musubi do to make you so angry Tsukiumi?" asked Naruto with the blonde woman's face becoming embarrassed and pressing her fingers together.

"She...She uh...well...she grabbed...my...my breasts," whispered Tsukiumi while Naruto smirked since he already knew this and found it amusing that his tsundere Sekirei did not realize this.

"I see. So Musubi grabbed your breasts? Just like this?" asked Naruto while grabbing the large breasts in question and making the woman's face go super red.

"Husband!" exclaimed Tsukiumi while Naruto didn't stop.

"Did she squeeze them like this?" asked Naruto while seeing Tsukiumi's face show a mix of embarrassment and arousal.

"H-Husband, the others are watching," whispered Tsukiumi in a weak tone while secretly loving the feel of her Ashikabi's hands on her breasts.

"Poor Tsukiumi. You wanted me to be the one touching your wonderful breasts during our time on the beach, did you?" teased Naruto while ignoring the fact he was doing this in front of the others.

"Hey! I share the wealth!" exclaimed Matsu since she wanted to be groped by him too.

"What she said!" added Uzume while glaring at the sight of those wonderfully skilled hands on Tsukiumi's breasts.

"Will Naruto-sama do that to me too?" asked Musubi excitedly since she loved it when Naruto played with her breasts.

"Don't forget about me Naruto-kun. It gets me so hot when you put your hands all over my body," remarked Kazehana into his ear lustfully.

"Don't forget about my body my Ashikabi. I know what you were doing on the beach with Akitsu-chan. You may have fooled the others, but I know you all too well," said Karasuba while Akitsu blushed and looked a bit guilty despite the arousal returning from the memory of it.

"Ah...special reward," remarked Akitsu while glancing at Naruto, who smirked at her clever way at getting to rewards for the price of one in a single day.

"I see how it is. My Sekirei all want another piece of me again. Okay. Though just so you know, I expect those participating in the shopping race to not complain if they happen to be sore tomorrow," commented Naruto while his girls laughed or giggled at his words as they tackled him.

It would be a long night, but one well worth it for him, and his Sekirei who were enjoying their well earned vacation.

(A/N: YAY! A nice little update for all of you. Hope you all enjoyed it. It is a nice little filler chapter. Until next time...PEACE!)
