Ch.9
Kurama woke up hastily since her stomach turned and she rushed to the toilet to barf. Kurama groaned as she looked at herself in the mirror, wondering what was wrong with her. This had been going on for over a week. She didn't understand what was going on with Hurama and leaving the body just left Hurama to suffer without the demon's enhanced recovery.
"Kurama, I've called the Hokage. I don't think this is just a chakra malfunction of the Doll like you've been reassuring me." Inu told her since he had appeared to hold her hair while she puked. Her long, wild mane reminded everyone so much of Kushina that the resemblance was now uncanny. Especially since some scrolls Jiraiya sent included the Hedgehog Hair Jutsu.
"I'm s-sure of it, urf!" Kurama rushed to the toilet again in time to hurl once more.
"I don't think it is, ma'am." Hawk, another of her guards voiced from the bedroom. "Don't worry Inu, we informed Hokage-sama as soon as we could. He sent for the best doctor he knows of."
"Who?" Kurama groaned before barfing into the toilet again. Soon after, they heard her front door be kicked in and embedded into the hall wall.
"Who the fuck is so sick that I was threated to be marked as missing-nin to get me to come back?!" Someone roared from the living room. Furama began yipping at the intruder as Naru began wailing in fright. Kurama would have been apoplectic if she wasn't so nauseous she could barely stand and was seated on the rim of the tub when-.
"You?" Kurama blinked in surprise. It was Jiraiya's erstwhile woman! The one he pines for!
"You didn't say the patient was an Uzumaki." The woman said with pursed lips.
"Would that have made convincing you to come back easier?" Jiraiya asked, holding a frozen steak over his eye.
"Jiraiya, have you finally confessed your love for her?" Kurama said, holding her stomach. The ANBU and vixen watched as Jiraiya paled and looked at the fiercely blushing blond woman who then punched the Toad Sage through Kurama's house before storming off. "Was it somethi- urp!"
Kurama rushed the Toilet again and hurled loudly into, hair covering her face since the ANBU were scared stiff. Kurama laminated how her hair was going to get soiled until it pulled up and Kurama looked at the blond woman before she hurled into the toilet again. "Sorry about the outburst. I'll help you as is my duty as a doctor. Just know I can't handle blood."

"Congratulations, you're pregnant." Tsunade, the busty blond that was checking Kurama's condition, told her.
"Uh, how, who, baby?" Kurama was dumbfounded. How did human reproduction work?
"Wait, the Kyubi no Kitsune is pregnant?!" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock while nursing his head.
"What are you talking about?" Tsunade asked in confusion.
"She's the Kyubi! The Biju made a female Doll to play house! A Doll that can become pregnant apparently." Jiraiya stated factually, only able to speak freely since Inu was the only ANBU.
"Wait, why isn't it, er, she, in the seal?" Tsunade asked as I nursed my head, feeling another wave of nausea.
"Well, her chakra has been changing and she's the only one willing to care for Naru. You left the village, so living relatives were out. I'm trying to find out who caused the attack Kurama was enthralled to do, so her Godfather is out. The orphanage we placed her in just dumped her in the trash, so they're not even in the running unless under heavy ANBU guard. That left her." Jiraiya bitterly groused as he counted off all the ways Konoha has failed his goddaughter.
"Wait, she's an Uzumaki?" Kurama asked while pointing at Tsunade.
"She's Mito's Granddaughter." Jiraiya voiced and Kurama perked up.
"You have to stay, Tsunade-chan!" Kurama cheered before hurling into the bucket she had.
"Huh?" Tsunade blinked in confusion.
"Kurama sees Mito and Kushina as daughters, in a twisted sort of way. She tells me about her sessions with her therapist." Inu informed the Slug Sannin.
"Therapy? What do you? The Kyubi in therapy?" Tsunade asked as she looked at Jiraiya.
"She had a mental breakdown months ago. Sensei got her the best to deal with, what, an eon of repressed angst?" Jiraiya told her while I weakly and sickly growled at him. Wait, Furama, bite his butt! "Ouch! Stupid Fox Doll! Don't command it to bite me!"
Kurama chuckled at Jiraiya's expense before noticing Tsunade's thoughtful look. "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm staying." Tsunade said with a hard look making everyone in the room freeze and some black-haired girl Inu's age spit water in the hall. "I'm as much of an Uzumaki as Senju at this point and I still hold both names."
"Uh, does this keep me out of Clan Meetings?" Kurama asked, happy about this decision.
"No, you're still the Clan Head of the Uzumaki. Unless I marry I can say I'm a part of the Uzumaki to support you. Naru needs all the help she can get." Tsunade said as Jiraiya sputtered and looked between us.
"So am I speaking with Tsunade Uzumaki, Tsunade Uzumaki Senju or Tsunade Senju right now?" Kurama asked with a smile as the vixen felt some strength return to her.
"Tsunade Senju Uzumaki, since I can legally change my name under whatever clan sovereignty I feel like at the moment." Tsunade said with a smug grin. "Shizune, unpack our bags in the branch house!"
"It's recently refurbished!" Kurama cheered happily with her queasiness finally vanishing.
"I'll settle in with Shizune. She needs some socializing too." Tsunade said before leaving. "Time to get drunk!"
"Should I worry about that?" Kurama asked the Toad Sannin.
"Eh~." Jiraiya said with a so-so hand motion. "I should tell Sensei about this development."
"I'll call my team back. Things seem to have calmed down now." Inu voiced before he vanished into the shadows.
"I'm going to eat." Kurama said as she got up from her bed.
"Mild food, vixen. You shouldn't overexert your stomach right now." Jiraiya told her as she went to the kitchen. "I'll check up on you and Naru before I leave again."
=Fox=
"So you made this?" Tsunade asked while petting Furama. "I can just imagine the leaps for prosthetic organs or even replacement organs with this Fuinjutsu."
"I've done one test with making a prosthetic dick." Kurama informed the medic-nin. A week had passed and all the drama of Tsunade declaring herself as part of the Uzumaki Clan had just started to die down. The fact that Tsunade was back in the village, that might take longer. It didn't help that she had also taken over the hospital and Kurama's Medic-nin training.
"A dick? Can you replicate that?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"Sure, do you want me to make you one?" Kurama offered while eyeing the Medic Sannin.
"Make me one? Can you not just craft one?" Tsunade asked.
"I have to base it off of someone's DNA." Kurama explained.
"Hm, fine. Who did you do this for before?" Tsunade asked as she undid her pants and exposed herself. "That is, if you didn't subscribe to doctor-patient confidentiality."
"I made Tsume one. Making a prosthetic is a mix of the Chakra Doll Jutsu and Fuinjutsu. The Fuinjutsu is how the Doll communicates with the brain by mimicking nerves or organs that are needed for the Doll to work." Kurama explained as she worked on Tsunade's pubic mound, which was already clean-shaven before she began. "You need to use a localized Transformation Jutsu with the chakra of a Shadow Clone for the shell for me to fill in."
Tsunade gave her a look before she made a plain average member of a human as Kurama started recreating what she did for Tsume. The drawing and connecting of the internal bits was quicker than last time and crafting was easier since Kurama had started storing material in a drawer in her fridge. Kurama was planning on making more Fox Dolls for later projects. Furama was her house guard right now, she wanted more for the Clan.
"Hm, that feels strange. How are you making the foreign organ communicate with my brain properly?" Tsunade asked as I finished the phallus and the Medic-nin poked and prodded at it.
"Connecting to the communication of the nerves used by your vagina. All that does is tell your brain that the dildo's nerves are firing. A side effect is that your vagina also receives pleasure. I think I got the testicals correct this time. Tsume was firing blanks." Kurama commented as Tsunade removed and reattached the member before pulling her pants up.
"I'll test that at the hospital later. I'll be going over to examine it now." Tsunade told the vixen before getting an amused smile. "I would try with you for more Uzumakis, but you already have a bun." The offer made Kurama blush heavily and smile bashfully.
=Fox=
Kurama eyed Tsunade after she returned from the hospital that night. The thoughts of her comments before leaving were still swimming in the vixen's mind. The fact she may have gotten sperm correct was also relevant in her mind. That would mean she could in fact help develop permanent replacement organs and prosthetics, if the technique wasn't reliant on the subject casting a framework themselves, that was currently the biggest-.
"Congratulations, you've advanced medical science several decades, apprentice." Tsunade told me with pleased smile and her hands on her hips.
"Really? So you and I could actually make more Uzumaki's?" Kurama said aloud before realizing how she worded that sentence and blushed at what she just suggested.
"Ha, ha, ha, yes, but that was just a joke, so don't worry, your womb is safe from me." Tsunade kidded and then retrieved her detachable penis from her pants. "This is a breakthrough. People will joke, but the truth is, you literally made a dick and from there, solved so many surgery issues." Tsunade declared while waving the respectable male member around.
Kurama blushed deeper as she stared at the prosthetic. Why has a fantasy of a more blond Uzumaki been plaguing her thoughts all day? Why was the prosthetic making those thoughts worse? Tsunade blushed and put it back in her pants before snapping her fingers in the redhead's face. "What? What did you say?" Kurama asked in a daze.
"Girl, you need it bad. Do you have any toys or is your lover available?" Tsunade's words filled Kurama with embarrassment.
"No, well, um Tsume, but I'm married to Shikazu." Kurama said as she pointed to a glass shelf covered in Fuinjutsu. "Her um, Doll is in there for long term storage."
"Well then, if you know she's not on a mission, how about you use it?" Tsunade grinned lewdly and Kurama bit her lip.
"You know, Jiraiya has been far less lewd than you have been." At the Uzumaki's words, Tsunade's eye twitched and she stormed off, likely to go punch something as usual.
=Fox=
"Oh, so now you like the mush." Kurama grumbled to her Naru as the baby girl giggled while she played with her carrot mush and stuffed it into her mouth. "At least I think I'm on the right track of weaning you off my bosom." Even if her breasts just won't stop lactating, ugh.
"I see you're getting her off of you?" Shikazu said when he entered the nursery. "Hello, I'm on leave from my assignment for a week, not including travel…time." His eyes glued to her chest and round lower stomach. "Whoa…"
"Um…hi?" Kurama just realized she never wrote him about her pregnancy. Her bust, already a prodigious 24cm per boob like Tsunade, now had an extra centimeter per breast. She learned that there were no proper bra-sizes for women as buxom as them, but the closest is considered a K-cup push-up, due to how unbelievably perky her bosom was.
"I've only been gone for four months." Shikazu said in shock and Kurama began to panic. "Wow, you're utterly radiant." This made Kurama bashfully look away with a pleased grin before he approached and she cooed when he rubbed her belly. "Do you know how many?"
"Tsunade says its twins, but one may not survive." Kurama sadly answered, figuring she must have made Hurama wrong and cost them a child. Hurama was much more hurt by the potential loss than Kurama was, even if she suffered intense despair at the thought of one of her firstborn children not even surviving birth.
"Multiple pregnancies are always hard, dear. But they're Uzumaki, I'm sure they'll both pull through." Shikazu said to reassure the vixen before he looked at Naru. "Wow, so active." Kurama turned her attention back to the baby and pouted at the mess Naru had tracked everywhere by crawling in her crib and smearing mashed carrots all over the bedding.
"At least I may have a better time with them rather than this one." Kurama huffed since she guessed Naru was done eating. "Alright kit, time to clean you up. Can you help with her bedding, Zuzu?"
"Zuzu?" Shikazu asked with a bright smile as he gathered up the messy bedding while Kurama held Naru to her bosom, which the baby didn't try to drink from, but still nuzzled eagerly.
"You want me to call you Shika?" Kurama questioned as they passed through her home, spotting Tsunade arguing with the Hokage about the hospital in the living room.
"No, because then you'd be calling me the same name as all of the male members of the Nara clan." Shikazu snorted, dutifully ignoring the confrontation between the two to carry the bedding to the laundry room, which was indeed where Kurama pointed him on the way to the bathroom, which had a basin sink for baby-bathing.
"Exactly, so you are Zuzu." Kurama declared while filling the sink full of lukewarm water and soap before starting Naru's bath, the baby loved baths, so Kurama was beginning to think the brat got herself messy on purpose lately.
"So the rumor that Tsunade came back to the village is true. That bumps the Uzumaki Clan to be on level with most of the minor Clans in Konoha." Shikazu said as he joined her in the bathroom. "If the Hokage finds those Kusa Uzumaki's you'll be on par with the Kurama Clan."
"Shizune has expressed interest in being adopted into the Clan as well. She wants to help Naru in any way she can." Kurama chuckled at the mention of the shinobi clan named after her.
"Isn't Shizune the last member of the Kato Clan?" Shikazu asked with some concern.
"I am, but it's not like I'm planning on reviving my clan. The Kato don't have any powerful skills to carry on." Shizune said as she peeked her head in. "Lady Tsunade is liking the idea of me joining the Uzumaki as her daughter."
"So this is the end of the Kato Clan?" Shikazu asked with a sad smile.
"Yes, I suppose it is. Tsunade finished the paperwork just now." The Hokage said with a sad smile, joining the group crowding the bathroom and exciting Naru. Naru was a very social baby, getting excited around strangers rather than afraid. Cute, but tiring.
"Sensei! I wanted to surprise her!" Tsunade yelled from the doorway and Shizune lit up like the village during the night.
"Tsunade-sama~!" The black-haired teen squealed and hugged the blond happily.
"Hey brat! Call me mom now!" Tsunade demanded with a proud grin.
"Okay, the two top doctors of the village in the clan." Shikazu said with a chuckle. "I may have to just change my name."
"Is the fact that we're gaining prominent people into the Clan really elevating us that much?" Kurama asked while gently wiping Naru down and tickling her now and then.
"The Kurama Clan is the second largest in the village next to the Hyuga. The reason they are considered the weakest Clan is a combination of the lack of power outside the village, their lack of quality Shinobi, their overall performance on missions not tailored to their skill sets and the scandals they have been in." The Hokage gave as an example.
"So we're above the Kurama Clan now that we took in Shizune?" Kurama asked as she tried to grasp village politics. Being Clan Head was rough enough without getting too involved.
"Yes, other than Naru, the Uzumaki are highly regarded." Shikazu told her.
"What was that about Naru?" Kurama asked with an anger mark on her brow.
"Nothing dear!" Shikazu said quickly.
"Whipped." An ANBU coughed. The Hokage looked at the corner the ANBU was hiding in and made a hand single. Kurama guessed that the agent was getting reprimanded.
"If you are sleeping here, take the couch." Kurama huffed before drying off a clean Naru.
"You're in the Fox House, haha." Tsunade declared with some amusement.
