Blue-Eyed Avarice
The Ruby-Eyed Queen and the Violet-Eyed Princess


"My lord, I am scared," The violet-eyed girl said as Naruto stared at her with pure disbelief.

How could this have happened?

Kyūbi did say that he was the first to have the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and that he was the guinea pig for her, but this was insane. He now had a clone that Kyūbi called a Homunculus. What in the world was that?!

"We need to have a team meeting. Both of you," Kyūbi's eerily calm voice murmured before Naruto felt his consciousness being pulled into Kyūbi's realm.


When Naruto came to, he was in Kyūbi's domain, and to his surprise, his clone was there as well, her eyes wide with wonder. "Wow. Lady Kyūbi, this place is beautiful," The clone whispered with an awed tone.

"Thank you, child," Kyūbi replied from behind them, causing the blondes to turn around to face her.

"Wait, you've never seen this place before?" Naruto asked as he turned to his clone with a curious expression.

She shook her head.

"How could that be? A Kage Bunshin shares memories with its users," Naruto said.

"And that is true, but when we are summoned, we're summoned as blank slates," The clone explained. "We are essentially born at that moment. We gain the knowledge you have, such as speaking, intelligence level, and any skills you have, and we replicate your strength. But your history, your life, does not imprint onto us. All we know is that we are here to serve and protect the one who gave us life. That is all that matters."

"I see," Naruto murmured with crossed arms. "That explains why you call me your lord."

"Yes," the clone said.

Kyūbi then held out her hand to the clone and said, "Come, let me observe you, child."

The clone nodded and walked up to the Kyūbi and gave a bow. Kyūbi placed her hand on the clone's head and grew still. "Everything is there, just like an average human. This is unprecedented. A living, breathing, Homunculus."

"This is the second time you've mentioned this word. What is it?" Naruto asked.

"Homunculus is an artificially created human, and in your case, a true clone," Kyūbi answered. "Born from unnatural means. In this case, it would be my chakra."

"How can that be?" Naruto asked.

"Simple. Remember the link that I spoke about that allowed me to take over our little Homunculus here?" Kyūbi questioned.

Naruto nodded.

"My chakra is very potent, volatile, and powerful. When I transferred myself through it, I had full access to my chakra through that link. But because of how powerful my essence is, it turned your clone into a Homunculus." The Kyūbi began to laugh. "This is amazing. This is….I don't have any words for this, Little Prince."

"So your chakra can create true clones like me," The clone said as she stood up. "This holds a lot of potential, my lord."

"It does," Naruto said.

"But that now explains why I'm a little winded," Kyūbi said. "I wasn't lying when I said I could go for weeks because I can. But doing that drained at least two tails' worth of my chakra."

"This means we can't go crazy with it, which is fine by me. I can't have an army of me all over the place," Naruto said before he glanced at the clone and said, "Come."

The clone nodded and stepped forward to Naruto, who said, "We were not anticipating this, but now that you're here, your mission remains the same."

"To protect you with my life. Yes, My Lord," The clone said, but as she began to bow, Naruto stopped her, causing her to look up in alarm.

"With that said, I do not wish for you to have that as your objective. Despite the circumstances, you have been granted life as an actual human being. Which means It's time for you to enjoy life and all that it entails."

"I do not know how to do that, My Lord," The clone admitted.

"Neither do I, so we'll wing it," Naruto joked with a wink.

The clone smiled.

Naruto ruffled her head and said, "But now we face a new question. What shall we name you?"

"Name?" The clone asked.

"Yes, my silly little girl," The Kyūbi said as she ruffled the girl's hair from behind. "A name. Even a mighty queen such as myself has a name."

"I don't know what to name myself…." The clone admitted.

"Any suggestions, Kyūbi?" Naruto asked.

"How about 'Shuichi?'" The clone suggested. "You both gave me life. It should only be right if I carry both of your names together as my own."

"Awww, she wants to be named after her parents," The Kyūbi cooed, causing Naruto to blush.

Did she have to phrase it like that?!

"As cute as that may be," The Kyūbi began with a smile. "'Kyūbi' is merely my title, not my actual name."

"Oh," The clone murmured, disappointed.

"But, since you want to be named, I have one for you. Shuichi," The Kyūbi said with a smile. "If you wish to bring honor to both your Queen, I would be honored for you to carry that name."

"As would I," Naruto said. "Uzumaki Shuichi. I think it has a nice ring to it."

Now known as Shuichi, the girl smiled in response and said, "I have a name now."

"That you do," Naruto said, but when he glanced at Kyūbi, he noticed that she wanted to talk to him privately. "Why don't you return to your new body and carry us home? I must speak to Kyūbi about something."

"Of course, My Lord," Shuichi said with a slight bow before she bowed to Kyūbi with a brief, "My Lady."

With those words, Shuichi was dismissed from the mindscape with a flash of crimson chakra, leaving the Uzumaki male alone with The Ruby-Eyed Queen. "She is adorable," Kyūbi murmured. "But there was something more you should know about the Homunculus."

"I'm all ears," Naruto said.

"Because of her original nature being a Shadow clone, she's always going to serve us and be loyal and going through her mind and nature as I did, she's fanatically loyal to us, so she won't need to die," Kyūbi said.

"I figured, considering she refers to us as her masters," Naruto said.

"And while it is good to want her to be a human, she also has my essence in her, which may cause some adverse effects," Kyūbi warned.

"Like what?" Naruto asked.

Kyūbi was silent for a moment before she grinned. "My tails are here for much more than being cute. They each hold a specific elemental power and sin attached to them."

"A sin?" Naruto asked.

Kyūbi smiled and spread seven of her nine tails. Naruto noticed that each of the tails had a gold Kanji written on the tips. "Everyone is aware of the deadly seven sins, but in actuality, there are nine."

"Pride, Wrath, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Vanity and Melancholy. The Nine Deadly Sins," Kyūbi introduced. "I even have names for them. Pride = Deus, Wrath = Asura. Lust = Olga. Sloth = Kalrow, Greed = Augus-"

"That is a strong name for Greed," Naruto said with a pleased grin.

"Thank you, Little Prince," Kyūbi replied with a grin. "Where was I? Oh yes. Wyzen = Gluttony, Envy = Strada, Vanity = Sergei, and Melancholy = Yasha."

Kyūbi then looked at the missing two tails and asked, "Want to guess which two are missing?"

Naruto went up to the seven tails and read each one, but then he blinked. "Deus and Olga are missing. Pride and Lust." Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as realization hit him. "That's right. You said two tails' worth of your chakra was gone when you bought Shuichi to life. So Lust and Pride. So what elements would go with that?"

"Lightning for Deus and Ice for Olga," Kyūbi replied as Naruto eyed the middle of her tails, which held the golden Kanji for "Augus," written on it. Naruto traced a finger against the kanji with a fond smile as Kyūbi continued with, "Adverse effects. You may want to make sure she is reigned in and adequately contr—" a gasp of pleasure suddenly cut off Kyūbi.

"C-Can I help you?" Kyūbi stammered in shock as Naruto found her tails vanishing in a flash of crimson light. He turned his head and saw her face was reddened and grinned.

"What? I was fond of that tail," Naruto said. "Staking my claim on it."

"Prince," Kyūbi replied with an amused, almost dangerous tone. "You cannot claim one of my tails. No matter how fond you are of it."

"And what if I wanted to claim that fluffy tail as my own?" Naruto questioned.

"The only way you can claim any of my tails is to claim me," Kyūbi told him. "Are you trying to claim me, Little Prince?"

Naruto blinked and gazed at the inquisitive face of the Kyūbi and thought for a moment.

A part of him knew that answering what his gut was telling him to answer could get him into a lot of trouble, but something began to click as he gazed at her.

She had been his partner since the moment they met years ago, and even when his youthful mind wasn't on feelings, he knew she was gorgeous. But during that time, he learned that she was powerful and fierce, but flirty and funny.

But this was dangerous territory, and he knew it.

And yet, as he gazed at her beautiful dark skin, her ruby-red eye, her feminine yet muscular body, he heard himself reply, "To claim the mighty Kyūbi no Yōko, someone I respect as not only my teacher and friend, would be the ultimate testament to who I am. I'd be foolish not to want to claim you as mine."

Kyūbi stared at him, her inquisitive look morphing into a wide smirk. She let out a laugh and said, "So, you finally decided to speak the truth. I knew from the moment you laid eyes on me that we would come across this bridge."

She smirked and brushed a hand through his hair and said, "I guess seeing this body for years on end and having a "child" together finally beat that foolish "Sister Kyūbi" notion out of your head."

Naruto watched as Kyūbi summoned a golden throne and sat on it, and gazed at him. "Considering who you are and who I am, I felt I would be ruining things. With that said, I am tired of lying to myself and you," Naruto told her. "And as I've said, I want to be surrounded by women that are not only beautiful but strong as well. And you are the most breathtaking and strongest of them all. To have you by my side as my queen amongst my kingdom of Konoha would be nothing short but magnificent."

Kyūbi's gaze softened at his words and leaned back on her throne.

"Naruto."

Naruto's heart quickened at the softness of how she said his name.

"I am flattered by your praise. Truly. But to claim me as yours is a herculean task. I will not hesitate to admit that I am very fond of you. I do not call you the title of "Prince" so frivolously. I see something great in you, and I desire that greatness," Kyūbi told him with a firm, royal tone, which surprised Naruto.

She was always so relaxed and snarky that hearing this come from her told him the seriousness of the situation.

"Many have stepped up to claim me, and many have fallen and died in that pursuit. The only one who successfully did it without any mind control was Hashirama, your Shodaime. But he sealed me inside of Mito," Kyūbi said before she rolled her eyes and muttered, "Moron."

The Kyubi then became serious again as she said, "You want to claim me, Naruto? Then you have one simple task. You have to defeat me in a life-or-death battle with nothing held back. If you do that, then I agree to be your queen and rule beside you."

Naruto remained quiet because he knew she wasn't done.

"If I win, Little Prince, you belong to me. And only me. Your future kingdom belongs to me. The ones you will claim will be mine to do whatever I may please."

Naruto felt a surge of displeasure at the thought of her taking everything he was working hard to achieve.

It must have shown on his face because Kyūbi smirked and asked, "What? You don't like the thought of me taking everything you have, Little Prince?"

"It's mine to have," Naruto responded.

"It's also mine to have as well," Kyūbi taunted. "We both want the same thing. But the question is, who is strong enough to gain it all?"

Naruto grinned.

"So, Uzumaki Naruto, Prince of Avarice. When you complete your promise to free me because fuck being in a false body, Are you willing to risk it all for gaining the crown jewel for that golden crown of yours?" Kyūbi asked. "Or are you willing to admit that you're biting off more than you can chew?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes at this slight and said, "Fuck it, high risk, high reward. I accept your terms, Kyūbi. Once I free you, we'll fight to see who gets it all."

Kyūbi smirked and said, "Good. Then if you want to prove yourself as my superior, we will need to intensify your training. My Prince…."

"You both are here and right on time," Naruto said with approval as Sasuke and Shino stood within the forest the following day.

"Hello, Naruto," Shino greeted.

"Naruto," Sasuke murmured.

"I'm just waiting for one more piece before we can start…." Naruto said before Shuichi landed beside him, a large scroll in her hand. "And here she is. Wonderful, You've done well," Naruto said as he affectionately caressed her cheek, causing Shuichi to bashfully smile.

"You are welcome, My Lord," Shuichi said as she handed Naruto the scroll before she thought through their link, "The original has been returned to the vault, and this is our copy. The Hokage will never know."

'Very good,' Naruto replied with a pleased tone.

"Sasuke, Shino, I want you both to meet Uzumaki Shuichi. She is a clan member from the Uzumaki Clan," Naruto announced.

"I'm sorry/What?" Shino and Sasuke questioned in unison.

"Y-Yes," Shuichi confirmed with a bow of her head. "I am just a lowly clan member, compared to My Lord, but we are a part of the Uzumaki clan."

"It's a very long story. One that the Sandaime will pay for in the future," Naruto told them with some frustration in his voice. "I just found out about her last night after we both talked."

Naruto did not hold any guilt about blaming Shuichi's sudden appearance on the implication that the Hokage hid her from him. He just didn't want to confuse his friend and underling or put any ideas in his underling's mind.

"I do not think the Uchiha could create a homunculus in that manner, Prince," Kyubi told him.

Since his talk with Kyūbi regarding their mutual fondness and deal, Kyūbi had dropped the "Little" from his title. In her words, she felt that his taking on this task meant that he had earned his title as "Prince" and that calling him anything else would demean his status to her.

'True, but you never know. Sasuke has a clan to rebuild, and having a homunculus or two would help him,' Naruto thought back. 'Perhaps if he proves his worth, I could dangle that over his head as an award.'

Kyūbi hummed in thought then said, "Interesting….But considering how our Little Princess was created, how would you do it?"

'Since I doubt Sasuke would want to live with the knowledge that his female clone would probably find her way into my bed, Perhaps we could find the DNA of his fallen brethren, I henge into that form, and then we do our magic. But perhaps that wouldn't work."

Kyūbi laughed. "Oh Prince, you think if he made a clone, it would wind up with you?" Kyūbi asked.

'Sensei, I think somewhere deep down in Sasuke's subconscious, he is vying for me. I didn't taunt him that hard based on a lie. I've seen him watching me in my Naruko form. And look at how hard he's staring at Shuichi…."

Naruto watched as Shuichi spoke to Shino and Sasuke, with Sasuke's eyes locked on Shuichi's form.

"Interesting. You don't seem irked by him staring at our princess like that," Kyūbi stated.

'Because it's only confirming what I already knew. I'm sinfully sexy, male or female,' Naruto cheekily replied. 'And that's how it should be. I should always have eyes on me.'

Kyūbi let out a sultry chuckle as Naruto felt her finger trace along his jaw, despite being in the real world. "You certainly do have eyes on you at all times, Dear Prince," Kyūbi whispered. "It's unfortunate that in the end, when I reign as your Queen and ultimate ruler of Konoha, I'll be the only one that can view and touch you in every way that I please."

Naruto's cheeks burned as he heard Kyūbi's soft laughter near his left ear before he shook his head and said, "Alright, you two, stop questioning Shuichi. Shuichi, get over here."

"Yes, My Lord," Shuichi said as she immediately ran to Naruto's side.

"Alright, here is how this is going to work. I'm going to give you both three jutsu from the scroll. Do not fret. I will ease you both into this by giving you Jutsu that aligns with your elemental affinity. Do you two remember what they were?" Naruto asked.

"Earth," Shino answered.

"Fire and Lightning," Sasuke answered.

"Good. I know exactly what Jutsu you two will want to learn…." Naruto said as he looked to Shuichi, who whipped out a notebook. He showed her the jutsu he wanted his friend and underling to learn one by one, so Shuichi would not take down the wrong one.

Naruto then felt a pair of eyes watching him from a distance and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"I sense it as well," Kyūbi whispered. "To think she would spy on you…."

'Very curious indeed,' Naruto responded.

When Naruto was finished showing Shuichi the three jutsu to take down, Shuichi walked up to Shino and Sasuke and handed them their three jutsu. "These are for both of you," Shuichi began with a smile.

Sasuke and Shino nodded their thanks, and Shuichi bound back over to Naruto, who said, "Before you two get too comfortable, I will be sparring with you both at full power so I can gauge your skills, and after that, if you both are still standing, I will give you homework."

Sasuke and Shino nodded.

Naruto turned to Shuichi and thought to her, 'Shuichi. Go see our guest. And keep her busy for a while.'

"You wish for me to try that, My Lord?" Shuichi asked.

"Oh, you want to test that early?" Kyūbi asked with a coy tone.

'I do. I want to see how effective it is and she is the perfect target for that,' Naruto replied.

"I can't wait to see this. Well then, my lovely daughter, you heard your father," Kyūbi said with a teasing tone, causing Naruto to blush.

"Understood Lady Kyūbi, Lord Naruto," Naruko thought before she vanished in a swirl of leaves.


Haruno Sakura knew that it was a bad idea.

The minute she saw Sasuke and Shino walking together from her bedroom, she had to see what was going on. Not only due to her crush on Sasuke but because she knew that Shino was close to the blonde bombshell and Sasuke's rival.

And so, she followed them. She wasn't as stealthy as Ino had become as Hinata's assistant, but she was able to keep a good distance away from getting caught. But as she hid high in a tree, she was surprised to see that both Shino and Sasuke were talking to Naruto.

And he sounded male, compared to the female voice she had grown accustomed to since he took on his Naruko form. What did that mean?

Sakura then heard a voice whisper, "You seem lost, darling. Can I help you?"

Sakura stiffened and was about to lose her footing on the branch but two arms wrapped around her waist. "Careful. You almost fell. We wouldn't want that, now would we?" the familiar, sultry voice whispered in her ear, causing Sakura's face to burn red.

"N-Naruko?" Sakura asked.

She had never been this close to Naruko before.

The person behind her laughed and whispered, "I am not her. I'm a member of her clan. Uzumaki Shuichi is my name."

"O-Oh…." Sakura whispered.

"My Lord has told me all about her classmates, including you, Haruno Sakura," Shuichi whispered in her ear. "My Lady has told me all about how you two are not friends. And yet you're spying. Tell me why."

"I-I," Sakura's voice trembled.

"Were you curious at glancing a peek at my Lord during his training?" Shuichi questioned. "If so, I can take you to him."

"N-No. I-I was checking to see if Sasuke was okay," Sakura finally managed to get out, her head getting foggy.

Why did she feel so hot?

"He n-normally never hangs out with Shino or Naru…" Sakura paused as she became too aware of her body pressing back against Shuichi's chest. She began to tremble as Shuichi let out a slow, soft laugh.

"I see…." Shuichi whispered as Sakura closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip. "Well, do not worry, Sasuke will be okay. I promise. Now, let me escort you out of this forest. It's filled with predators that give various shinobi trouble. And I don't want someone as—" Sakura shuddered as she felt the girl's thumb lightly graze her jawline. "—beautiful as you getting mauled. Understand?"

Sakura nodded and took a deep breath, only to squeal in surprise when she was scooped up in Shuichi's arms. It was then she got a good look at the girl and felt her heart flutter.

While she looked exactly like Naruko, her irises were deep violet. There was such an alluring look to them that Sakura felt bewitched by them. "Oh…." Sakura murmured. "Wow…."

Shuichi grinned and said, "Relax, darling. I can hear your heartbeat from here. It's moving quite fast." Sakura flushed as Shuichi descended the large tree, branch by branch until she was on the level of the other trees.

As Shuichi leaped from tree to tree to the entrance of the forest, Sakura gripped Shuichi's neck tightly.

It was funny. She looked exactly like Naruko and yet it was their eyes that held the difference. Naruko was arrogant, teasing, and even good-looking, but there was a coldness to him that many don't see.

It's why she never bothered with him.

But this girl, despite looking just like him, felt like a completely different person. There was a warmth to the girl that Naruto didn't have and it was drawing her in, bending her will with each glance Sakura saw of the girl's violet eyes.

She didn't even realize that they were on the ground until Shuichi announced, "Darling, we're on the ground."

Sakura blinked. "O-Oh," she stammered as a blush streaked across her face. She quickly moved out of Shuichi's arms and coughed. "T-Thank you," she said.

Shuichi smiled, her eyes shining in delight. "No, thank you," Shuichi replied as she reached out to stroke Sakura's cheek, causing Sakura to lean against her hand. "You were the perfect passenger. Not like how My Lord described you."

Shuichi removed her hand, which caused Sakura to stumble forward. Embarrassed, Sakura said, "W-Well, I should go."

"Should you?" Shuichi asked. "Because I was thinking you would offer me breakfast."

"Y-yeah," Sakura managed to get out, her tongue feeling heavy in her mouth. "D-Do you want to go to breakfast? My t-treat?"

Shuichi then gifted Sakura a breathtaking smile, which caused Sakura to bite back her swoon. She felt….intoxicated by this girl and she didn't know why.

And she didn't know why she liked it.

"Then, my Cherry Blossom, do the lead the way," Shuichi whispered with an alluring look. "I am quite famished."


"That girl was completely dominated by the lustful aura that Shuichi put out. I'm so proud of her," Kyūbi said as Naruto stood in front of a downed Sasuke and Shino, both looking worse for wear, while Naruto looked as pristine as ever.

'Didn't even last a minute….I have a long way to go,' Naruto thought with a sigh. 'But yeah, having Shuichi be able to trigger her lustful aura is certainly going to help us.'

"But we will need to train her as well," Kyūbi told him. "Because anyone with stronger willpower than Shuichi can shake off or even be immune to her aura. And we can't have that, can we?"

Naruto hummed in dissatisfaction. "You two alright, down there?" Naruto asked.

"This feels worse than the first time," Sasuke groaned.

Shino gave Naruto a weak thumbs-up in response before his arm flopped to the ground.

"You two did good work but we're not done yet," Naruto announced before he summoned two clones and commanded, "Heal them as best as you can."

"Yes, My Lord," the clones said with a subservient bow before they rushed to the two genins and began to heal them, using the Shōsen Jutsu.

'Shuichi. When you are finished with Sakura, please bring some food back for the three of us before going to the academy,' Naruto commanded.

"Understood, my Lord," Shuichi answered.

"Handy, isn't it?" Kyūbi questioned.

'Very. I just hope Shuichi can handle the academy in my stead,' Naruto thought with crossed arms.

"I know she will. Now, while these two are being healed, why don't we start on your chain manipulation?" Kyūbi suggested.

Naruto nodded.
