Ch.17

"I feel terrible. Fox skulks exist, why do I feel horrible? Am I one of those monogamous fox breeds?" Kurama asked her therapist. "I apparently have three spouses, one is out of the loop, the other two want me to have a mistress." Kurama said from the therapy couch.

"You hate lying. I think this is more of you feeling like you are lying to Shikazu-san than anything. All of this is still new to you." Inoichi suggested from his therapist chair.

"Aren't you humans all about monogamy?! Why do my other apparent spouses want to be with me and what about Zuzu?!" Kurama complained while tugging on her hair.

"You are in the CRA program by request of Tsunade-hakase." Inoichi informed her.

"What the fuck? What is the CRA?" Kurama asked.

"Clan Restoration Act. A rarely used act from the days of the First Ninja War created by the Daimyos when they still had the political power for such acts. You are barred from taking part in frontline battle until you produce enough children and raise them to training ages so that your clan can survive for the next war. It is mostly used on women since they are traditionally the ones to raise the children. If Naru was the only Uzumaki left and we went to war, she could be placed under the CRA. The only thing stopping that is you as our largest military asset and too valuable to just bench for her to pop out babies." Inoichi exposited to the secret vixen.

"Tsunade-chan made me a baby factory?!" Kurama's eyes were glazed, drool dripped down her chin as she bit her lip and openly groped her huge boobs.

"She's under the same program to bring back the Senju once she was confirmed pregnant. The Daimyo had put her under it and she said she was doing it for the Uzumaki, but the Fire Daimyo denied her claim and the Daimyo marked you. Tsunade has known about this for two months, I'm surprised she hasn't mentioned it." Inoichi revealed while taking notes.

"Two months ago, Minato-kun and Kushina-chan got really…clingy." Kurama muttered. "Was the marriage a cruel trick?" Kurama asked, still imagining her fetish being fulfilled.

"Nope, Kushina-san just loved pranks and got drunk. From what I was informed of their hair-brained scheme was to just show they were already married to you. Kushina-san and Minato-dono never looked at the contract again after it was signed. The Daimyo also has no clue you are a Biju, he just sees you as an old, wise Uzumaki." Inoichi said with an eye roll.

"Wait, so Kushina-chan really did marry me to her husband by mistake?" Kurama said, balking at her…daughter, vessel. Mate? Ugh, Kushina made that already twisted concept worse.

"I've checked her memory to confirm." Inoichi said with a chuckle. "Twice. This was before you all went to the Hokage after the discovery."

"Ugh, are there any terms to the CRA?" Kurama asked, her mind even more befuddled.

"Mostly you have to bear ten children within 15 years and raise them to six years old. Whether all of them live to six doesn't matter, just that you bear them and attempt to raise them to six. I hope explaining this isn't making your emotional turmoil worse, but I feel you need all the facts right now." Inoichi explained while pointing his pencil at her.

"Ten children~?" Kurama's expression became manically excited, but then it dulled. "Wait, do Nobu and Naga count towards that?" She asked for clarification.

"No, unfortunately. They are Uzumaki though and that helps in the political standing of the courts. The Daimyos may be relics of the past, but they do hold the money of the land. Gaining favor with them is a very good idea for any Ninja of any country. Having two children already pleased the Daimyo from what I hear." Inoichi explained.

"I don't give a flying rat's ass about some Daimyo, I am just grateful for the opportunity!" Kurama declared openly, because she saw no point in bothering to try and hide something that so obviously excites her to no end.

"Do you feel you need more counseling?" Inoichi asked as he reopened his note book.

"No, I'm good, but if you and Hiruzen-san need more historical info I might know, feel free to ask." Kurama offered, pleased with Inoichi's counseling and willing to provide such things.

"Let's see..." Inoichi began as the scenery around them began to change..

=Fox=

"Tsunade-chan, you beautiful bitch!" Kurama declared as the blond hyper-pregnant woman and Tsume drank tea while Minato played with Naru.

"What?" Tsunade asked while resting her teacup on top of her belly, which at 6 months, looked ready to drop seven babies and thus had plenty of room for her to use as a shelf, even with her KK-cups resting on most of it. Yet, she was suffering almost no negatives from being pregnant at all aside from her limited mobility and need for assistance with some things.

"You made me into a Breeding sow!" Kurama cheered with a happy squirm.

"Huh?" Tsume asked before she crossed her legs and blushed.

"Inoichi told you about the CRA? I really tried keeping you out of it, I even suggested Kisa." Tsunade claimed apologetically, because while she knew Kurama had an even stronger pregnancy fetish than the pregnant Sannin, she didn't exactly want to enable her.

"Thank you! I can now be so big!" Kurama cheered as Tsume gawked and blushed deeper when Mikoto entered with some snacks.

"Wait, you're under the CRA? Why do you sound happy about that? It ruins most Kunoichi!" Mikoto exclaimed with distraught for her friend.

"Because I loved being pregnant! I wanna be pregnant again! Not just pregnant though, enormous! Bigger than Tsunade-chan~!" Kurama slobbered with her eyes glazing over. "So gonna invert the Infertility Seal, take supplements, mmn~..." Tsume was whimpering as she got up and rushed to the restroom, smelling nice. "Tsume-chan needs a man, badly."

"Or a certain woman…" Tsunade muttered under her breath before clearing her throat. "Considering your situation and how you're even healthier and hardier than me, I guess we can allow the use of the Hyper-Fertility Seal Kinjutsu." Kurama blinked in confusion. "The inversion of the Infertility Seal has been dubbed a Kinjutsu due to how suicidal it is."

"It's a Kin-Jutsu?" Kurama asked as Tsume started grunting loudly from the bathroom. "Is she sick?" Kurama asked obliviously and Mikoto rubbed her temples at her clueless friend.

"Kinjutsu are techniques too dangerous to be used by the majority of ninja. The Shadow Clone is a Kinjutsu, in fact. Due to the potential of it to lethally drain the user of chakra or give them a brain aneurysm from information overload. It takes a hardy chakra pool along with a strong or malleable mind to use the Shadow Clone safely." Tsunade explained before sipping more tea.

"Oh. Well shit." Kurama said as she sat on the grass nearby the garden furniture.

"Shikazu-san is gonna kill you, Tsunade-sama." Mikoto groaned.

"Not if I kill him with the enhancement I'll be giving his swimmers before Kurama-chan is knocked up by him." Tsunade stated and Kurama fainted, twitching on the grass.

=Fox=

"My baby's birthdays are soon!" Kurama cheered as she held Nobu and Naga to her sides, the almost-one-year-olds giggled and squealed as she spun around with them. The past few months were a blur with baby matters, slowly turning Kushina and Minato human, an odd letter from Shikazu and Clan events. With the Twins being born on the first of October and Naru on the Tenth, most of the clan wanted to push the days together. Kurama didn't want to make such a special day trivial to any of her babies by just shoving them together.

"Where is tou-chan?!" Naru asked Kurama. Naru had named Shikazu tou-chan while she addressed Kurama as ka-chan. Her birth parents were Fox-ka-chan and Fox-tou-chan, which Minato was a little sad he wasn't tou-chan.

"He will be home soon, honey. After all, he only said today or tomorrow, not when exactly." Kurama gently told her daughter with a soothing coo.

"You and tou-chan are busy. You go to meet and never home when tou-chan here." Naru complained and Kurama wilted at that.

With the sudden popularity of her skills with Dolls, obligations Kurama had just begun to learn about and a myriad of other things, Kurama was home less and less trying to solidify the Uzumaki Clan. More often than not, Kurama came home tired, retreated to the seal or jumped to Furama to avoid work. Hurama never had time to sex Shikazu, but at least her second husband had been told the truth and wasn't exactly upset. Damn sexy-smart Naras figuring things out.

That said, the pressure was one for her to conceive. Failure to provide evidence of a fetus in the womb by November will result in forced invitro insemination from a donor chosen for her. So, she was planning on ensuring Shikazu got her real good and knocked-up before he left this time.

"tou-chan better be here! He brings best presents!" Naru giggled as she did a little dance. Not even 2 and she behaved like a 3-year-old. Naru really was a prodigy thanks to being host to a demon.

"Yes, because he wants to try and make up for never getting to be home." Kurama bitterly muttered to herself as she set her toddlers down and they began 'chasing' their older sister, the rugrats still stuck half-crawling while Naru was practically running around. Thank gosh she had the whole main Clan House carpeted in plush carpeting rather than the old bare tatami mats.

"I'm sure he'll be home for good soon." Minato told her as he hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. "The talks with Kumo are in December. You know you wouldn't be under so much pressure if you just let Kushina or I-."

"I know, but I want Shikazu to do it." Kurama huffed as she melted into him, his embrace comforting and soothing when he wasn't driving her crazy. At least thanks to the Infertility Seal, she could have sex with Kushina and Minato all she wanted without worry in that regard.

"He said we could if he couldn't find the time." Minato soothed her.

"I know! I really wish you were stuck in that office to be less of a temptation." Kurama mewled.

"Hiruzen-dono can't step down while we're in talks. It would be too confusing for all the diplomats if we suddenly changed leaders even if they know I'm alive." Minato cooed to her as he rubbed her abs through her robe and she cooed as he kneaded her muscular stomach.

"Aren't you an ass man?" Kurama huffed as she got out of his grip so she could start baking the cake.

"I'm a 'boobs, butt and belly' man. I just prefer butts because they tend to be consistently great." Minato reasoned, the werefox in human form gave her butt a soft spank and she snorted.

"What is Kushina in that spectrum?" Kurama asked while laying out the ingredients.

"She loves your boobs and hair." Minato told her. "With men, it's their ass and of course the size of their dick. She loves huge dicks." Minato chuckled with a prideful tone.

"Of course she does." Kurama rolled her eyes.

"You?" Minato asked as he kept decorating.

"I find that I really don't have much preference besides big-dicks, big boobs and pregnant bellies. That said, I can be physically attracted to anyone if I like them enough." Kurama hip-bumped Minato. "Case in point, get your sexy ass out of here before we make a mess."

"I'm almost done, I just have a few more streamers to hang." Minato exclaimed.

"Fine, but don't distract me." Kurama ordered playfully. The vixen was happy Shikazu believed that she was Kyubi, otherwise explaining how Minato was her first husband would have taken some roundabout logic her Nara lover would have eaten alive. The vixen was also happy with the arrangement since it was less awkward to accept her other spouse's affections.

"I found someone while out shopping for supplies!" Kushina cheered while Shikazu stumbled in covered in more lipstick than skin with his clothes disheveled.

"Kushina, take over the cake." Kurama practically growled at her wife before she rushed to her second husband. "Who attacked you?" She began using her apron to wipe off as much of the purple makeup from his face as possible until she gave up and used her spit, which erased it on each pass. She truly had 'mother's spit', which Jiraiya joked could take rust off of a kunai.

"Kushina-chan." Shikazu said, looking at the demoness with a loving smile. "I don't think I mind being married to two loving women if that's the greeting I get."

"Three if I'm not male at the time!" Minato called down the hall, making Shikazu and Kurama roll their eyes. When Minato and Kushina discovered they could also swap genders fully rather than just have attachments, part of Kurama's experimenting, they got a bit adventurous.

"I'm still confused as to how you did that." Shikazu commented.

"It was mostly ensuring most of the body was actually hormone neutral, then have the male and female hormone centers turn on or off. They can also have them both on at the same time." Kurama dumbed down, because even though her first real husband was a Nara, he wasn't in R&D or other more intellectual departments, so he tried to spare much of his brainpower for analytics, tactics and social science in exchange.

"So they just change how their chakra thrums through their bodies?" Shikazu further simplified.

"More or less. Their cells do most of the work once they alter their Chakra moves. It also requires a mental image. A normal human body can't do it without extensive surgery, so It is easier to use a Doll. I could give it to you too, but I would have to put you under the knife." Kurama stated, realizing that the moment Shikazu was in front of her, the world around them ceased to matter. She wished he was around more.

"So the legend of the Uzumaki once being an island tribe of all women is true?" Shikazu questioned and Kurama rolled her eyes.

"If you think they used surgical Fuinjutsu every few decades, sure." Kurama snorted wryly.

"Sorry, sorry, just the image of an island of women vying for a man is appealing." Shikazu admitted. "If troublesome."

"The Inuzuka were like that, actually. They literally fucked men to death to breed and traded their sons for daughters with other clans." Kurama said and heard some choking, so she looked past Shikazu to see Tsume was there, thumping her lower throat with an empty dango stick hinting at what she had been eating. "Tsume-chan, thanks for bringing your kids."

"Hana and Kiba would mutiny if I hadn't." Tsume coughed, her face flushed. "Yeah, ahem, I can confirm, my clan used to be a bunch of amazons who refused male membership and raped men to death to breed. A dark history, but what clan doesn't have one?"

"True, my clan used to ride our deer into battle and use poison arrows from the weapons we crafted from their bones. We were known for our traps, poisons and littering the forests of the land of fire with hundreds of traps buried in deer bone. There is still a section of the forest called the Bonelands where my clan herds deer." Shikazu commented with a smirk.

"Anyway, Mikoto-chan was not far behind me, where should I set my pups down?" Tsume asked while patting the snoozing Kiba in her epic cleavage and Hana looked ready to vibrate free.

"The backyard! I'll be right back, I need to get reacquainted with my husband." Kurama told her before she pulled Shikazu along upstairs. Since this compound was a traditional one, floors above the first were rare and mostly for spiritual purposes. To Kurama, finally sexing her husband was a spiritual enough purpose. The converted shrine-turned-bedroom would do.

=Fox=

"Glad to see the parents join the party!" Hiashi said with an amused look as Kurama and Shikazu walked down to the main room where the adults who were not watching children were conversing. The Hyuga couple were mostly sipping tea as they watched the children play with their daughter who was shyly hiding near them behind a pile of stuffed toys. Hinata was such a shy girl.

However, Kurama and Shikazu just knew the adult Hyuga were watching them do the dirty. Damn Hyuga perverts. It was why the Hokage had to have Byakugan wielders sworn to secrecy back in the First Hokage's day to only reveal secrets when ordered to by writ from the Hokage.

Regardless, Kurama giggled at them as Tsume waved her down with a cup of juice in her hands. "I wish we had sake! But we can't have that around the kids!" The woman declared.

"Calm yourself, Tsume-chan." Mikoto giggled as she watched Sasuke play with Naru while Kiba tried stalking the two like a puppy. "I wish Itachi was here and not on some mission. Fugaku is pushing him too hard." The fact Fugaku wasn't here was telling.

"Just whip your man, get him in line. Aren't you the Uchiha heiress?" Tsume asked with a smirk.

"Yes, but the men take Clan Head status in my clan unlike the Inuzuka." Mikoto pouted.

"We can have men as Clan Heads, if the female heirs don't want the position or there is only the son left." Tsume scratched the back of her head. "Is everything okay with you and Fuga-kun?"

"For the most part, yes, our home life is fine. There's just tension and Fugaku wants Itachi to show how good the Uchiha could be." Mikoto said as she pouted more.

"ka-chan! Kiba bit me!" Naru cried, but clearly in a whiny 'I want attention' way.

"Then bite him back, just keep it gentle!" Kurama called back and Tsume laughed.

"Kiba!" Hana yelled at her younger brother.

"My family always picks the oldest sibling." Hiashi said with a sad smile.

"Most intelligent." Shikazu sighed.

"Best at Fuinjutsu." Kurama nodded.

"Senju mostly pick who can heal the best from a chest wound." Tsunade quipped.

The adults all shared a bitter, grim laughter.
