Ch.8
Kurama spent the next few months with her friends, training with Shikazu, therapy with Inoichi and taking care of Naru. Naru was her task right now as she was told by Mikoto it was a good idea to start weaning the infant off milk. A task that got on the vixen's nerves with how fussy Naru was now. Kurama missed when her baby would just dumbly smile in bliss.
Not to mention her tits ached because for some reason she couldn't just order Hurama's boobs to stop making milk, so she resorted to milking herself and using that in place of cream in her morning coffee. "Please eat the mush." Kurama begged her baby as the infant wailed. "It's good for you. You can't keep drinking from me." As much as she wanted to keep doing it.
"Having issues with your daughter?" Shikazu asked as he let himself into the dining room.
"Eep!" Kurama squeaked, covering herself up, since she was about to cave in and breastfeed Naru to get her to calm down. "D-damn it, Shika-kun! I told you to knock when you come over!" Kurama flustered, realizing she was still in her night clothes, which were a rather racy lacy red nightie and matching panties she got on Tsume's suggestion, which while comfortable, she deeply regretted because Shikazu had a dopy grin with his hungry eyes devouring her! "Out!"
"Ha, ha, ha~!" Shikazu laughed as he turned and avoided the ki-manifested frying pan and other various things thrown at him with Naru laughing and giggling as her mom chased him out.
=Fox=
"He walked in while you were wearing that?" Mikoto giggled with her hands over her mouth.
"Dai-san would have kicked his ass." Tsume said with sadness. The Orange Beast had been cut down by the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist barely a month ago when he saved his son's team. He had killed 4 of them before his death, forcing the remaining 3 to grab their felled companion's unique swords and flee. This is the only recorded instance of a Genin slaying 4 S-class threats.
"I'm just happy the Hokage promoted him to Jonin post mortem." Hiata said before sipping her tea. "That said, since Dai-san was one of your trainers, who could possibly train you when you had the master of Taijutsu?"
"His son, potentially, but Gai-kun isn't ready for that yet, so instead I am training to become a Medic-nin, since my chakra's regenerative properties amplify medical techniques immensely." Kurama stated, because she wanted to refine her ability to heal Naru. Everything she learns she can apply from within the seal to protect her daughter.
"Good! Now spill! Have you and Shikazu-san gotten into bed?" Mikoto tried to steer the conversation to something pleasant.
"No! We have only had two dates!" Kurama defended herself.
"Wow, you don't count all the times you met up at Ichiraku's over ramen and talked about each other?" Tsume teased with a wiggle of her eyebrows.
"Those are lunches after training my Ninjutsu!" Kurama declared as her face turned red.
"Lunch-dates, my woefully innocent senpai~!" Tsume further teased with a boisterous laugh.
"And you added him to the house seals~. This is the third time he's seen you exposed. You told us~." Hiata joined in while leaning forward, her prodigious bust, nearly as impressive as Kurama's, almost touched her knees. "Like when you were bent over, your naked rear facing-."
"Kya~! I-I never told you about that time~!" Kurama flustered in horrified embarrassment!
"It's her perverted gaze! It can see all! Ha ha ha~!" Mikoto cackled, the Uchiha not at all sharing most of her clan's rivalry with the Hyuga.
"S-shut up!" Kurama mewled, about to retreat to the seal, but stopped because that would be worse. Ugh, why did she choose to experiment with a dual-gendered body in the seal today?! She had a boner and was wet! "I was tickling Naru's belly after my morning shower!"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. We all have shown off for our men. Though I know Hiata did it from across the village once!" Tsume claimed and Kurama looked askance at the Hyuga.
"No, that was my husband boredly looking in on me from across town and caught me masturbating, so he rushed home and we-." Kurama covered her mouth, blushing as red as her hair with Tsume and Mikoto similarly flustered. Teasing was one thing! Mentioning outright sex was just too much right now!
"By the sage I wish I had a man right now." Tsume grumbled while rubbing her lower abs.
"You scare half of your suitors away with your dogs and kids." Mikoto said, remembering the time Tsume talked them into one of her 'get a man plans'. "At this point, I think you're better off just finding one-nights than trying to get the golden heron."
"At least I'm still trying for humans unlike some of my clan." Tsume grumbled before glaring at her companion, who perked up and sniffed the air. "Why are you sniffing? I wouldn't even try with you." At her dismissal, Kuromaru, her Ninken, left the room while sniffing.
"Where is he going?" Mikoto questioned Tsume.
"Oh no! Tsume, get your dog!" Kurama jumped to her feet and rushed down the hall, instinctively using wall-running to get past him while Tsume pursued and she closed the door to Naru's nursery. "My pet fox is in heat!" She explained hurriedly as Tsume used her leash to keep the tail-wagging pony-sized Kuromaru from bulldozing ahead to lewd the too-tiny vulpine.
"Kuromaru, no! That girl's too small for you!" Tsume scolded her friend. 'Bark'. "I don't care if you're just going to use your tip, she's too small!" Kurama sputtered at the image that gave. Kurama could feel Furama scratching at the door, her urges driving the Doll's brains more than what she wanted it to do. Then Kurama felt her Doll using a chakra ball. To save on repairs and avoid endangering Naru, she cut the doll's strings and it ceased its attack, but kept scratching.
"Is your fox a bloody Ninken?" Tsume yelped, having felt the chakra.
"Didn't the Hokage tell you?" Kurama said as Kuromaru huffed and walked away.
"About what?" Tsume asked as we followed Kuromaru down the hall after I put a barrier to keep Furama sealed in the room.
"I can make Chakra Dolls, organic puppets that are functionally the real thing except they can be controlled with a few fluctuations of chakra. They can act semi autonomously or like real animals if the brain is made real enough." Kurama explained to Tsume. "It's something I bashed together with pure chakra while watching foxes on the road and messing with a Shadow Clone."
"Holy shit, is it tied to your regeneration Bloodline?" Tsume's question caught Kurama flat-footed, which was worsened when Mikoto spoke up.
"What about your Bloodline Limit?" Mikoto's casual question got Kurama worried.
"How do you all know about that? I never told anyone." Kurama had carefully never mentioned her supposed Bloodline Limit outside of the hospital, which she had come to understand took confidentiality very seriously, then when-Danzo that bastard! Inoichi would have died before he gave away information of such high security clearance!
"It was leaked onto the grapevine, likely by the same people who tried to murder Naru and blew up your apartment before." Hiata said with some disappointment. That disappointment was likely due to her confirming everything, since she was the 'Gossip Queen' among her generation of adult kunoichi.
"Are there any other rumors about me?" Kurama asked, hoping there wasn't.
"One rumor is that you're the Kyubi no Kitsune." Mikoto teased me with a jab at my ribs.
"Another is that you're Kushina revived." Tsume said with an eye roll. "And I'm sure that is not true. Kushina wasn't this tall, nor did she have such glorious udders. Unless you keep up a very elaborate genjutsu."
"Tsume, sometimes I think you wish you had a cock." Hiata said with a shake of her head.
"Well, yeah, but there isn't a medical jutsu to do that. The Fuinjutsu was lost with Uzu-. Kurama, do you know the art that lets female couples have babies?!" Tsume asked giddily.
"Um, no, I could give you a Chakra Doll Dildo…I think? It would be based on your DNA." Kurama considered. That would be a rather interesting experiment.
"What's DNA?" Hiata asked.
"DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. It is our genes, the stuff that makes us who and what we are. The stuff we inherit from our parents at conception. My husband's been using it to better forensic-nin's ability to determine the culprits of crimes. It was found like…4 years ago. Minato popularized its use in the hospital." Mikoto explained for the others who didn't have medical training.
"Uzushio knew about DNA due to Fuininjutsu for decades longer. Kushina was the one to inform Minato on it." Kurama said before she caught her mouth.
"How advanced was Uzushiogakure?" Hiata asked.
"Most of what you use chakra-generated electricity for in your home, in mine it runs off of Fuinjutsu that converts sunlight into electricity. I don't pay any utility bills." Kurama stated.
"What? You don't? That's unfair!" Mikoto exclaimed.
"Why don't you sell scrolls that act as camping gear? Like portable hotplates" Tsume suggested, looking annoyed by the change in topic, so she tried to get it back on.
"Tsume, you're a genius, I'll be rich!" Kurama said as she made a clone to start the project.
"Good, I want a dick in payment." Tsume demanded.
"I've got to get home." Hiata said, leaving quickly with Mikoto doing the same, leaving the two wild women alone since Tsume has managed to turn Kurama by making perversion intriguing.
"You're serious?" Kurama questioned.
"Absolutely." Tsume stated.
"We'll have to test it. I'm sure it would be removable." Kurama said, blushing as Tsume started undressing in a notably slow, teasing manner. "O-oh…" Okay, this was happening…
=Fox=
"Damnit Tsume, leaving this…ugh." Kurama groaned as she shifted her pants again while trying to play with Naru after her little escapade with the Inuzuka. The events did remind her to properly read up on how humans made babies though. "I should get on that." It seems to be common knowledge, though, so just asking would be embarrassing. She would just check for how human mating works by reverse-searching from the birthing manuals.
"Kurama! Ready for more training?" Shikazu asked after he knocked on the front door.
"Is it 2 already?" Kurama asked as she felt that Tsume's toy was finally released. "Uh, I'll be with you in five minutes. I need to call people and clean things. I'll meet you at Training Ground 3."
"See you there!" Shikazu thankfully went ahead so she could get cleaned up, check with Inu on the state of security and then went to Training Ground 3 where Shikazu was sitting on the sole training post in the clearing of trees as usual.
"You alright? You're walking funny, Kurama-chan." Shikazu asked as Kurama grumbled about Tsume and her antics and the toy.
"Just a bit sore from falling on the rim of the tub." Kurama lied and Shikazu winced.
"Ouch, we can hold off if your hurt." Shikazu commented.
"I'm an Uzumaki, I'm fine and it's already getting better. What were we doing today?" Kurama questioned as she did some hip stretches.
"A few water jutsus." Shikazu said, eyeing her with hungry eyes. "And I have a question for you at the end. I was going to wait longer but I have a mission."
"What question would that be?" Kurama asked as she stopped doing her stretches.
"After our training, Kurama-chan. I need you focused right now. "We'll be doing a head to head spar today." Shikazu's words surprised Kurama, because Naras avoided direct conflict as much as possible. Their family techniques are all about disabling from range.
"Are you sure about that? I'll outlast you." Kurama said as a matter of fact.
"Yes, my brother has come by to watch with his family." Shikazu said as Kurama spotted the Head Jonin of all ninja standing at a safe distance from the grounds with his wife and their infant son. Why were they here? Was this an evaluation? She already did one to become a Genin under the Hokage.
"Well…okay then. So when do we-." She couldn't move. "You…fucking…asshole…" Kurama managed to grit out, noticing the almost hair-thin shadow stretching from Shikazu's shadow to her own shadow along the grass. He must have the hand behind him making the seal!
"I should correct my instructions. This is a full spar, no restrictions other than no deaths." Shikazu said with a knowing smile. He was playing with her! What was his game?! Well, unfortunately for him, she doesn't need seals to use abilities! She managed to open her jaw and a Fireball Jutsu launched at him, forcing him to move, freeing her from the Shadow Bind.
She then launched herself at him, because the best way to negate a Nara's tactical field control was to reduce that field to CQC. Even though they can still Shadow Bind and other associated techniques at point blank, with their target so close, they can't use it to make much distance since the moment they move, their enemy is free again. It was why Naras always worked in teams, never alone. They needed assistance to deal with melee enemies.
"Not bad Kurama-chan." Shikazu praised before he unsheathed his tanto and cut at her arms. Kurama glared as she used her arm guards to block the attacks before gripping the blade and pulling the weapon from his grip, tossing it out of reach as her wounds rapidly healed. Then, she created a massive iron-wrapped kanabo. "Hoo boy…"
"No hold bar right?" Kurama questioned as Shikazu began retreating and throwing his shurikens and Kunai at her to keep her at a distance. Unfortunately for him, she knew this trick. Instead of dodging, she caught or deflected every projectile to prevent him from setting the battlefield with shadows to extend the reach of his shadow Jutsus. It was the afternoon, the sun was high in the sky and the shade was far away. "This is not a good time of day for you, is it?"
"Very good adaptation." Shikazu complemented before he made a hand sign. "But you should watch my weapons more carefully". Kurama blinked before seeing the Kunai around her had explosive tags wrapped around the hilts instead of tied to the loop. Kurama rolled her eyes moments before detonation. "Aw, shame, I guess I win-." *Thud!*
Shikazu was frozen, because the massive man-sized kanabo almost had the pommel touching his nose with the head in the ground in front of him. The smoke cleared to reveal Kurama, nearly naked from the shrapnel and bleeding badly, but her wounds were pushing out the intruders and she had a vicious, feral grin with wild eyes as the injuries rapidly sealed over. "Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over my eardrums regenerating!"
"I think she's an excellent woman to take you, little brother." Shikaku said with a lazy hand clap. "What do you think, dear?"
"She'll keep him on his toes and motivated. I don't think he'll laze about like you do if she accepts." Shikaku's mate said with a pleased smile.
"Uh? What are you two talking about?" Kurama asked in confusion when the two spoke, still riding an adrenaline high and not bothered that the left side of her top just exposed her breast.
"Brother, we approve of her." Shikaku said with large grin.
"Kurama." Shikazu said with a blindingly wide smile before he approached and got on one knee while holding up a gold band studded with small diamonds. "Will you marry me?"
"Uh?" Kurama asked dumbly, confused as to what Shikazu was asking. "W-what? Back up, y-you want to be my h-h-husband?" Kurama stuttered as she turned as red as her hair.
"Yes, life as a ninja is short and I feel it a shame to make such a wonderful woman as yourself wait." Shikazu said, standing up and holding out the ring. "I don't know exactly how Uzushio men proposed, but from what I've read, it was mostly about, ahem, bedroom affairs after acceptance." Shikazu blushed and Kurama meekly nodded. "So…what do you say?"
"Kya~!" Kurama squealed, crushed him in a hug and spun him around like a ragdoll! "Yes! Yes! I'll marry you! Kami knows Naru needs a father figure and you're the only man I've actually been thinking about!" Kurama admitted, her heart was fluttering, she felt so happy! She wanted to kiss and utterly destroy the handsome man by fucking him so hard he-!
"Go have fun brother, but remember you have to leave tomorrow. The mission won't wait for you to recover your gait." Shikaku said as his family walked away from the celebrating couple.
"Uh, mission?" Kurama asked worriedly. Shikazu rarely took missions outside the village. He mostly specialized in info gathering, tactical planning and assassination.
"A long term deployment on the borders of Kumo and Iwa. I will mostly be acting as a scout so I will have periods when I can be home." Shikazu explained with an unhappy frown.
"Well then, I better give you something to remember me by~." Kurama growled with lustful desire and cupped Shikazu's groin before whispering in his ear. "Meet me back home." Then she leaped away, going full speed towards her family estate.
She barely made it home before her new husband, because marriages were mostly informal unless signed, was pressing into her back, goosing her ass and she giggled as she hurriedly led him to her room, where she turned and they kissed, undressing each other to the bed.
Soon, she was on her back and wailing his name.
It was certainly a night to remember.
