CHAPTER 15: OF DRAGONS AND DEMONS

WHIRLPOOL

Naruto looked over the map of the Elemental Nations enjoying the fact that he had created it through magic and seals to alter and show the landscape in perfect detail and show where his influence reached and where it was stopped or stalled. It also showed areas that were more in turmoil compared to others, whether it was from internal conflict or fighting their neighbors didn't matter.

Around him were his parents, grandparents, his chief commanders, Vader, Qui-Gon, Walhart, and a few of his lovers. Also among them were the two newest people that had been brought to join his forces.

One was an ape like male with grey skin and black fur/hair that involved a beard that was braided and he had some advanced armor on his body. He was named Atriox and was a race known as a Jiralhanae aka Brutes that was part of a large alliance of races called the Covenant before he became disillusioned with the Prophets, the leaders as the Covenant was a religious alliance, and left with a portion of the military force, primarily those of his own race, and began his own war on both the Covenant and the Humans of his galaxy.

Shinigami had approached him at a chance at a new life, one where he could serve under a commander and king with honor and distinction and wouldn't be abandoned by anyone. Where faith and loyalty was rewarded in kind and never taken for granted. Such things would be to an evolved Human, but he wasn't hostile to other races until they attacked him and his own.

Atriox had been very skeptical, naturally, but he was willing to give it a chance, especially if he could regain his brothers and sisters as well since he didn't like the idea of being the only/last Jiralhanae in this world.

He had to adjust to the world being more… primitive than he was used to, but he was adaptable and could make do so long as Naruto proved himself as a worthy chieftain.

The other was a red and black skinned humanoid with small horns all over his head with sickly yellow eyes. He wore a black set of the robes that Qui-Gon wore, though his were combat oriented, and his stance was similar to Vader's in that it was aggressive, but it wasn't as controlled and tempered as Vader's.

This was Darth Maul, a Sith warrior from Vader and Qui-Gon's universe that had killed the latter in combat before being beaten by Qui-Gon's apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, Vader had revealed that Maul was never a true apprentice and more of an attack dog to announce the return of the Sith, their shared master Darth Sidious having admitted as much to him. Maul was the attack dog/grand reveal, Dooku was the puppet in command of the war, and Vader was to be the true apprentice until his crippling at the hands of Obi-Wan, something he and Maul shared in addition to hatred for said Jedi and their Sith master, and then Sidious was searching for someone that could surpass Vader and be his new apprentice.

Vader and Maul had some history as well as they had clashed during the rebellion since Maul was aiding a rebel cell to further his own agenda. Maul had informed him that he had died on Tatooine against Obi-Wan after seeing Vader's son when he was still a boy. His hope was that Luke would avenge them all for what Sidious had done, but was fine with Vader having finished him off.

Maul was also skeptical of serving some unknown person, but the moment he could feel Naruto's force signature, that had faded as Naruto's signature was powerful, yet untamed and undirected. If he learned to focus and control that power, Maul had no doubt that he could eclipse the greatest of Jedi and Sith Lords alike.

If Maul was to serve someone, he wanted it to be someone that was truly more powerful than him, but could also push him to get stronger as well.

It was actually a point of comradely between Kimimaro and him, while Grom got along with him for his ferocity and brutality in combat. Although, both made it clear they'd butcher him if he even showed the slightest hint of treachery, Maul actually respected that as it meant that Naruto could at least instill real loyalty into his people.

Naruto's Arrancar were doing well in training, though Loly and Menoly were still being "Educated" and "trained" as Kira liked to put it and it seemed Menoly was progressing well in showing obedience and devotion to him in exchange for pleasure. Something that Kira wanted instilled VERY thoroughly and likely have Menoly work on training Loly to prove herself.

"All right." Naruto stated breaking many from their own musings as he waved his hand causing his territory to recede back highlighting the areas they'd yet to conquer or begin converting. "We'll be continuing with expanding our borders. As we're still waiting for Kira, we'll put a pin in Demon Country for now. These places are where I plan to strike next." Naruto stated as he waved his hand and Fang, Claw, Grass, Vegetables, Forest, Rice, Honey, and River became more pronounced.

"You want to hit eight countries at once?" Natalia asked looking at him.

"Yes, though with Fu and Karin currently on a minor assignment, Grass and Forest will be put on hold until they return." Naruto stated as the two receded slightly, "The rest though are easily up for grabs, I don't want to drag this out too much that we risk something vile and dangerous being born from Konoha's corruption, and we don't know when Shinigami may come calling with another assignment." Naruto stated, making many of them nod in understanding.

"I think I should go to Honey; I have a connection to a village there, an all Kunoichi village." Jiriaya stated making those of the elemental nations look at him, "Not like that!" He shouted indignantly, knowing that they thought he was caught peeping on the women from there. "I met the leader of the village once, by accident, she challenged me to a fight and I won. What she didn't tell me was that by winning, I basically agreed to be her husband. Naturally, I turned that down, she kept arguing about it so I finally relented that either my future student or son if I had one would take up the challenge and fulfill it if she agreed." Jiriaya explained as Kushina and Tsunade looked at him.

"So, Minato or Naruto may have to marry a stranger?" Tsunade asked with a look of annoyance.

"I honestly don't know; it would depend on if the leader had any children of her own. If nothing else my name would likely get us in the village to possibly negotiate or at least get a general lay of the land." Jiriaya stated as Tsunade sighed.

"You're lucky that you're lovable." Tsunade stated as Jiraiya smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Very well, I'll have Natalia and Noctel go with you, both are strong females and if they can't hold their tongues around Noctel, I'll know that they need some education." Naruto stated making them nod. "Kimimaro, you'll be going to Rice, take Tier and her three subordinates with you as well as a couple of our Quincy allies, let them stretch their legs a bit." Naruto ordered, making Kimimaro nod.

"I'll claim the country, master, it will be yours before the week is out." Kimimaro swore making Naruto chuckle.

"I'm sure, just be sure to raid anything left of Orochimaru's as well." He instructed getting a nod, "Walhart, you up for a chance to stretch your legs and see some combat?" Naruto asked and the large man nodded. "You'll be taking River country then; they have a strong standing military-wise supposedly. Naturally, be prepared as there are quite a few rivers there." He informed, making Walhart nod his head.

"All who face us will die, though I shall follow your path and leave alone those that have no place against my blade." Walhart stated since he didn't care for killing anyone that couldn't fight him, but sometimes dissenters had to be put down.

Naruto nodded, "Good, Vader, I know you have an update and upgrade due, but how do you feel about taking the other Quincy along with Qui-Gon and going after Vegetables?" Naruto asked, making Vader turn to him before he nodded.

"It will get done, though what of the rumor that the princess is being held hostage?" Vader asked and Naruto hummed in thought.

"Save her, if she's not been broken and isn't some entitled brat, she can be negotiated with and there's no reason we can't be civil." Naruto stated making a few of the warriors snort or chuckle lightly since none of them were exactly "civil" company.

"If that is what you wish, then I'll see it done." Vader stated, though both Naruto and Qui-Gon knew that he wasn't at his best right now.

He wasn't going to put his heart and soul into fighting and advancing Naruto's path until he had closure and possible resolution with his wife, Padme. Naruto could understand that, he had been lucky to get quite a few loves in his life, so he had emotional support if he lost any of them, but Vader's heart belonged solely to one woman, maybe in time he could love another while he was serving Naruto, but Naruto had promised him to do all in his power to get his wife back and Naruto was a man of his word.

"All right. I'll be going to Fang and Claw since they're bordering countries. Plus, from what I've been sensing from the world energies, each has something old that's waking up from my presence. I'm not sure if they're threats or not, but if they are reacting to me then I'll be the one to do something about them." Naruto stated, making his new warriors nod since he was the leader, therefore he should handle anything that directly challenged him.

It was one thing to pass off an annoyance or minor threat to a soldier or commander, but if something was directly challenging you then you stepped up and handled that shit.

"Furthermore, our scouts report that many of the residents of both those countries have a hatred for the other that rivals Iwa and Konoha's. Taking one will just make the other want dominion or wiping the other out to solidify an alliance. There's no reason to undertake needless slaughter, so we're going to hit both at once and end the stupidity in one fell swoop, those that manage to survive us can be herded to Konoha to fill the nest of rats and snakes even further. Atriox, Maul, feel free to join any of the brigades going to fight, though naturally I'll expect you to follow orders unless you have a damn good reason for not doing so." Naruto informed, making them all nod while the two newest merely grunted and nodded.

They'd obey so long as the one leading them was a good leader.

Just because Naruto had some of their respect, didn't mean that all of his commanders did.

"Good, we move out within two days. Gather and inform those you wish for your brigades and ensure your supplies are fully stocked. Just because I have full faith in the success of the campaigns doesn't mean I want us getting cocky and sloppy." Naruto ordered getting a round of nods from everyone.

They were winning, but that was no reason to expect less resistance from their enemies.

BORDER OF FANG AND CLAW: LATER

Naruto marched with his troops heading straight for where Fang and Claw bordered each other. He'd attack there and engage most of the enemy forces while Grom flanked and attacked Fang and Akama would do the same to Claw.

The plan was to trap the two in a pincer movement and hopefully crush them enough to end the conquests a bit quickly so they could get order and stability established faster.

Marco was right beside Naruto and marching with him. Naruto refused to ride a mount if his soldiers had to walk and Marco followed his example.

Plus, the enemy usually targeted the people on horses since it signified more important people.

Marco was there to support his king, but also to lead the troops alongside Kull. The reason was due to the fact Naruto may have to leave the primary fighting to handle whatever was stirring in those countries from his presence.

After all, if him being leagues away from their territory caused them to stir, what would him entering their territory do?

Better not to risk his forces against unknown entities, especially since it was unknown if they were hostile or not.

It also made Naruto recall that his arisen shadow warriors were getting a bit restless. They wanted desperately to prove themselves and regain their honor, Naruto just wanted it to be against worthy opponents rather the mediocre and scum he had been dealing with so far.

It also didn't help that Naruto didn't want them falling at the hands of such vermin. If they were going to fall, it should be against worthy adversaries, so far it would seem only Iron Country would give them that.

However, many didn't care about unworthy deaths, they wanted to serve, be of use, and help their master get his revenge. So, Naruto agreed that when it came time for certain areas to be invaded, he'd allow them to be the vanguard leading the charge.

He did send a contingent with Kimimaro since anything left in Orochimaru's bases and labs was going to be violent and likely lethal. Even if Kimimaro could handle it and more, Naruto still felt it was better to have too much than too little for this instance since not even Kimimaro knew all the horrors that Orochimaru had created and spawned during his time away from Konoha.

Shaking those thoughts away, Naruto focused on leading his warriors toward their objective.

However, just as they neared the borders, the ground began to shake.

"Earthquake! Brace yourselves!" Marco called as he stood ready to protect his lord.

Naruto merely chuckled, "No, my friend. Not an earthquake. The unknowns are waking up." Naruto stated with a grin as the mountains nearby shook and rumbled along with the ground.

Naruto quickly used his powers to stabilize the ground and protect his forces until the shaking and rumbling stopped.

Before anyone could comment, two loud roars echoed out that shook the ground and put several of his soldiers on edge.

Naruto, however, merely grinned as his blood boiled at having a good fight. "Marco, you have command. I have some threats to handle." Naruto ordered before he changed into his draconic form and took to the skies.

"All right, you heard the king. We continue our march, while our lord handles the unknown opponents, we will claim these two countries for his glory." Marco ordered, getting rounds of shouts of agreement as the march continued.

Naruto flew through the air looking for the beings that drew his attention, but he didn't have to go far as the two were heading for him as well.

They met near the center of the border of Fang and Claw and all three hovered there.

The entity from Claw was a silvery blue/white dragon with blue eyes and large wings. It didn't seem to have scales and had frontal arms tipped with claws, which showed it was bipedal but not to a point it had hands either.

The entity over Fang was another dragon only it was pitch black with a purple underbelly, two horns on its head, two wings that seemed a bit small to carry it but they worked nonetheless, a long snout, and putrid green eyes.

Naruto hovered in the air and roared at the two, who quickly roared back before flying to engage him which he reciprocated.

And thus, a clash of dragons over Fang and Claw began.

MEANWHILE: RICE COUNTRY

Kimimaro led one contingent of his soldiers away from a now smoking ruin that was one of Orochimaru's hidden bases. There were a few prisoners, namely those of the Fuma Clan, that were sent back to Whirlpool to be treated and looked after along with some data and supplies, but nothing truly substantial.

With him were Bambietta, Meninas, and Candice, mostly so he could keep in an eye on them in case they got any traitorous ideas, but also so he could observe how their powers were growing/returning thanks to his master's power fueling them instead of Yhwach's.

So far, it seemed that Bambietta was still a bomber, Meninas still possessed great strength, and Candice was still a lightning user.

They were nowhere near the threat level they were while serving Yhwach, but they were above others who could do similar things.

Meninas' strength was around Tsunade's before she began to seriously train again, which was still nothing to scoff at, but it was a far cry from her original strength. It was improving, but she had to train for it and learn what else she could do now with a different power source flowing through her veins.

Candice was still an impressive lightning user, but compared to the likes of the Raikage or even Naruto? Not so much. Plus, her temper and lack of patience was a detriment to her capabilities. She thought she could force her powers to act the same way they did before, only to get anger, disappointment, and failure when she did. Kimimaro had had to drill patience into her and not get ahead of herself otherwise she was endangering the soldiers under his command and THAT was not tolerable to Kimimaro since it could weaken Naruto's standing and strength and make Kimimaro look bad in front of his master.

Bambietta was still able to cause explosions, but the size and number of them were reduced from what she was capable of before. Whereas she could cause hundreds of explosions ranging from cute to impressive sizes, now she was confined to a few dozen rather large ones or several smaller ones. She was the one, of these three, who took her new limits in stride and worked to improve her abilities.

She was also one of the couple that had warmed up to Naruto quickly, much to the amusement of many among Naruto's forces and his bedmates.

Anyway, Kimimaro was systematically wiping out the bases, labs, and lairs that he knew existed in Rice and killing the experiments, forces, and "prisoners" there, the latter being those that were prisoners because they started becoming too violent and disobedient to Orochimaru and were too cruel and vile to be let loose.

There was also too much risk with them to try herding them to Konoha, so Kimimaro decided to just wipe them out.

While they were raiding bases, Tier, Mila Rose, Sung-Sun, and Apacci were dealing with the military of Rice.

That is to say, they were dealing with the various samurai and soldiers that were around after Orochimaru put his puppet/subordinate in place to be Daimyo and rule the country for him.

Which is also to say: They were dealing with people who were more bark than bite.

Like his own forces, Orochimaru was focused more on quantity than quality meaning a large standing army of soldiers and samurai, but nothing/no one substantial/talented to be among those forces.

Just a bunch of cannon fodder for Tier and her girls to smash right through.

They decided to make the most of it and use the fools for target practice and training, getting a real feel for more of their powers, talents, and skills from having Naruto's power coursing through them and being fully alive.

They got some of that before and after fighting Yhwach, but this was allowing them to really experiment without fear of being overtaken by a powerful enemy. Plus, they could sate their bloodlust a bit here by killing all these corrupt and pathetic fools, though they remembered their master's orders to not cause harm to those undeserving of it.

Hence why they kept their more area destroying attacks to a minimum while the soldiers with them were handling sweeping the streets, towns, and buildings for people and threats. They all knew they wouldn't get them all, but the Shades would find them eventually and the threats would them be eliminated or herded to Konoha.

Of course, that didn't mean that they wouldn't try to eliminate as many as possible before it came to that.

After all, this was technically their first mission for their master and they wanted to go above and beyond what was required for him.

ELSEWHERE

Jiraiya walked calmly with Tsunade, Kushina, Minato, Noctel, and Natalia through the village of Nadeshiko. All of them were being led to the village leader to discuss both Jiriaya's predicament and possible treaty talks with Naruto's lands.

Of course, they had an escort as a formality and were ignoring the stares from the populace. Kushina was trying to control herself as many of the women were eying Minato like a prime piece of meat and, while she could understand it, he was HER piece of meat and the bitches needed to back off before she unleashed her wrath and temper on them.

Minato, being a smart man, was all too happy to walk arm in arm with his wife and give her light pecks to the lips and kissing her head as they walked. This was to assure Kushina where his attention was, to help keep Kushina calm, and to help keep any ideas from forming in the various females' minds.

A point to them was also that they weren't glaring at or terrified of Noctel and Natalia. They were cautious and intrigued, but there was no hatred, disgust, or outrage within them at all.

Whether that was due to the hearing of Naruto's forces or the fact both walked as warriors and fighters or they were disciplined enough to not be shaken by their appearance was unknown, but none of the group were going to complain about it.

Eventually they reached a building that was impressive but not overly so, meaning it was to show status but not shove it into people's faces and flaunt that status. Upon entering, they came face to face with a young woman with long black hair done up in a ponytail and wearing a modified black body suit with a window to her rather large cleavage, black heels, black gloves, tape around her lower legs, a kunai pouch on her left leg, a bronze sash around her waist done up in a bow in the back, some light armor pieces on her upper arms, and a black ninja headband around her forehead keeping her bangs from getting in her eyes. She had cream skin, emerald eyes, full pouty lips, and a figure that was both attractive and showed she trained regularly.

All in all, she was sexy, yet clearly showed that she knew how to fight when needed.

She stared at them impassively while nearby another woman stood, likely an advisor and guard since she was the leader of her people.

Said woman had dark reddish hair, black eyes, full pouty lips that were painted red, and a figure more advanced than the leader of the village. She wore a red sleeveless top over mesh armor, a long black skirt that was open in the front and showed she wore black pants that were taped up to her mid-thigh, black sandals, black opera gloves with tape around her forearms, and a yellow sash around her waist. To finish her ensemble, she had a sword strapped to her back.

Like the younger woman, she showed beauty but also showed she was not to trifled with, only more mature.

"My lady, this is Lord Jiraiya, he defeated your predecessor and promised a future student of his would take his debt in the marriage arrangement. With him are Tsunade Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki. I do not know who the other two are." The older woman stated as she looked at the group.

"Noctel Lightbringer and Natalia Windstrider, two of my son's lovers." Kushina stated making the woman glance at her, before both women nodded in understanding.

"If you're here to honor your arrangement, Jiraiya, then I must decline, both you and your student are a bit too old for me to see myself marrying." The younger girl stated, making them nod in understanding. "Ah, where are my manners, I am Shizuka, and this is my attendant Tokiwa." The younger woman, now named Shizuka, introduced making them nod their heads in respectful acknowledgement.

"A pleasure to meet you." Jiraiya stated as he squared his shoulders, "As for the agreement I made with your predecessor, I may have a solution that can satisfy both what you want and what we want." He continued making Shizuka look at him in curiosity. "As I'm sure you're aware, Whirlpool has been expanding its borders steadily over the past few months." Jiraiya started getting Shizuka to sit up straighter and narrow her eyes while Tokiwa shifted her stance to a more serious one.

The various Kunoichi that were "hidden" around the room also shifted.

"Yes, we are aware. I assume your leader wishes to add our lands to his." Shizuka stated simply, though inside there was fear.

They're village was strong, but against a multi-village and country army? They'd not win and those that survived could be treated as spoils of war and suffer indignities and horrors at the hands of their conquerors.

She didn't want to simply submit, but going to war was also out as well.

"Yes, which brings me to the solution I mentioned." Jiraiya stated bringing attention back to him. "What you may not be aware of, is that the leader of Whirlpool is my grandson." He revealed surprising the various Kunoichi.

"And you propose he take your place in the agreement, thereby offering a way to add our lands to his without the need for bloodshed and senseless death." Tokiwa deduced causing Jiraiya to nod his head.

"Yes, though I warn you that you would not be the only woman he is courting and there will be pressure from his other lovers for Lady Shizuka to show her skill and strength. They refuse to let a woman who can't stand beside my grandson in all things, ruling and in battle included, attempt to be with him in any fashion beyond a bed warmer." Jiraiya informed knowing he was taking a risk.

He wanted to air that now, though, partly so it didn't look bad if they found out later and partly hoping she'd take it as a challenge so she'd at least agree to meet with Naruto. Even if the agreement was terminated, Naruto may at least convince her to ally with them.

Shizuka frowned in thought, controlling herself to not rise to that challenge, she was responsible for her village and had to keep a level head. Not for the first time did she curse the agreement her predecessor made, mainly because a man she loved passed away and she didn't feel right just agreeing to a relationship with a stranger she'd never even met.

By the same token, this did possibly offer her a way to save her people, but the other side was that she knew nothing of the leader of Whirlpool other than his vendetta against Konoha, he was a skilled warrior, and was slowly conquering the elemental nations. He could be a monster for all she knew, but that was the point: she didn't know.

"Is it possible to meet him before anything is decided?" Shizuka asked knowing right now it was her best course of action, which Tokiwa seemed to agree with since she gave a small smile.

"Not right at this time. He's currently personally overseeing a campaign against Claw and Fang country. However, you could travel to Whirlpool to meet him, Tsunade and I would be willing to remain here as a precaution should you wish." Jiriaya offered, having already discussed this with the others on the trip there.

Shizuka frowned in thought for a long moment, "Perhaps we could discuss this over food? I'm sure it's been a long trip for you." Tokiwa offered giving Shizuka more time to weigh her options.

"We would be honored." Jiraiya stated bowing his head in thanks.

So far things seem to be going well.

SAME TIME: LAND OF VEGETABLES

Vader twisted as he cut down another opponent while nearby Qui-Gon and Maul did the same, though Maul's was more ruthless efficiency than flowing grace like Qui-Gon's as Maul used his crafted double-blades sword to great efficiency. Neither Qui-Gon nor Vader worried about Maul trying anything, mostly because they were far stronger in the Force since when they had arrived and due to the fact Maul wasn't anything compared to Vader at the moment and the Zabrak knew that. Maul also knew he'd not stand up to others among Naruto's forces so any rebellion would be stupid and pointless.

Maul was many things, but stupid was not one of them.

Vader couldn't even fault him for trusting Sidious, both Dooku and himself had done that too and paid the prices for it. The slight bit of irony that Vader was essentially a combination of Maul, Dooku, and Grievous was not lost on him. He was the ruthless attack animal of the emperor, the powerful Force using scapegoat apprentice to take the blame for everything if he was killed, and the cybernetic horror of a military genius and commander that hated Jedi and killed them with ruthless efficiency. The realization that he was just the better aspects of Sidious' tools was insulting and it only served to stoke the flames of his fury at his old master and trusted friend.

Anyway, the point was that Maul could be trusted to do his job and do it well, whether in time that would become true trust was still unknown and up for debate.

Nearby, the rest of the former Quincies were dealing with their opponents rather handedly. All three force users were analyzing them as they were though; Qui-Gon and Vader to see what they needed to improve upon, Maul to see what the women could do, and all three to see if they'd be a threat in the future.

Giselle was less powered than she was in Soul Society, as her blood wasn't a key point anymore and she had to actively use her power to control people. Dead bodies were easier for her, but the living were much harder and it was annoying her. For those that had joined Naruto following his time in Azeroth that had studied, it seemed she had weakened versions of a Death Knight or Necromancer's powers and now she had to adapt to it. She was still fast and had sadistic pleasure from killing and harming others, but she at least seemed to understand that it would only be tolerated to a certain point before one of the many beings that were stronger than her punished her, and not in a way she'd enjoy.

Berenice's powers were much harder to determine since her power wasn't so encompassing as to simply speak anything she wanted and it happened, but it wasn't so limited either. It seemed she had gained some form of power/magic/ability to make things happen through words and her intent. For instance, she looked at a few soldiers charging at her and simply said "pain" and they suddenly stopped and began shouting in pain. When she said "agony" it was intensified as the pain increased and their suffering grew as they couldn't even stand anymore. Another group she told, "Burn" and they began burning.

The drawback to all of this was that it was draining on her as after a couple "words" she was panting and sweating a great deal. Clearly her power was growing, but her stamina and reserves would still need quite a bit of work.

Liltotto was pretty much the same as she could consume anything, though apparently it had been modified/changed like the others. For instance, she could heal herself by eating now, evidenced by when some training got a bit too zealous and she nearly lost an arm only for it to fully heal after she ate something. Another thing was she could store what she ate and spit it out as a ball of energy which had a variety of effects depending on what she was spitting out.

For instance, a boulder became a bomb, whereas something on fire was a firebomb, and it just changed depending on the thing she ate. The fact she could literally eat fire was also not lost on anyone, as evidenced when she ate the fire off a piece of wood, without damaging the wood.

Clearly their powers were mutated like many others, but that wasn't that surprising since Naruto had quite a few energies flowing through him when he revived them and they needed enough energy to replace Yhwach's energy and soul to keep them alive and let them still have their powers. There were bound to be side effects, complications, and adjustments needed to proceed.

Their mission at this moment was to secure the country and save the princess named Haruna, whether she was still alive or not was unknown, same with if she'd be willing to let her country be consolidated into Naruto's growing empire.

It didn't matter much in the end, if nothing else she'd agree to an alliance since it would be through Naruto's machinations that her country would be saved and her father avenged.

Vader didn't think she'd need to worry though, Naruto actually reminded him of both himself and his Anakin Skywalker side: Honorable, strong, hard headed, brutal, a natural born leader, fighting on the frontlines instead of standing back, cunning, cruel to those deserving, unpredictable, and very methodical on breaking an opponent in a variety of ways. Sidious would likely be salivating at the thought of getting him as an apprentice, though how long that would have been before Sidious decided he was too dangerous to be kept alive was up in the air.

It didn't matter, he supposed. Vader knew his master was dead, even if his little failsafe worked it would NOT be the victory he thought it would be, and unless that god of Naruto's had plans to send them to another universe (or perhaps he had already without Vader or Qui-Gon knowing it) there was little chance of Vader having to see his former master again.

Although he'd be lying if he said that part of him wouldn't relish getting to kill him properly and perhaps getting to strike at Obi-Wan without him escaping by giving himself over to the Force.

Ah well, he could take his frustrations out on these weaklings that were standing in his way. He still had some work to do before he'd get the chance to decide his future.

RIVER COUNTRY

Walhart roared as he swung his ax, Wolf Berg, smashing away a half dozen soldiers. His given forces fighting just as fiercely as him while Atriox was nearby smashing enemy lines as well with the mace that was crafted for him. Above was Aversa using her magic to strike different points of the enemy lines with various spells.

River Country was proving to be quite stubborn as they had quite a substantial army, nothing compared to what Walhart had led before but it was nothing to scoff at either. The terrain only gave them a stronger advantage as they knew the terrain and how to use it effectively, something Naruto's forces only had a glancing understanding of since they had spies in the cities and general terrain, but these warriors lived and trained on it daily.

Still, Naruto's forces were nothing if not adaptable and were quickly making progress against their enemies.

Besides that, they were all battle hardened veterans that knew how to make war and break their opponents. They adapted to terrain and situations faster than the enemy because said enemy trained and had skirmishes, but never fought in full scale wars and battles. Naruto's forces ate, slept, and drank war and combat and had the experience to back it up.

If Walhart had these men, women, and forces under his command, he could have conquered his homeworld easily. They were disciplined, loyal, devoted, fierce, had no fear, and would rather die than fail their king.

No man or woman worthy of leading, let alone ruling, could lose with such forces following them and fighting in their name.

Walhart decided he made a wise choice joining Naruto, he not only had a new purpose but he was learning as well. He knew Naruto's forces were obeying only due to their lord's orders to do so, and no doubt they had back-up orders should he prove ineffective or show signs of turning against them.

A smart decision given he was an unknown to them, even if he saw many respecting his strength and battle prowess.

Smart, but unnecessary.

Walhart wasn't the type to backstab and betray, that was more Excellus' methods, the little vermin.

No, Walhart believed in looking his enemy in the eye as he fought and killed them, not using trickery and underhanded methods to win the fight.

Naruto did that and more, he walked both the path of conqueror and king, and Walhart wished to learn all he could to improve himself.

Near him, Atriox was of a similar mindset.

While he understood the value of stealth and subtlety at times, he was always more comfortable fighting head on against opponents, though obviously when doing so wasn't suicidal. Naruto understood both concepts and how to execute them.

The fact he could feel eyes on him from his new allies was also good, it meant they weren't blindly trusting him just because that Forerunner said he'd be a good addition to their army. They were watching and forming their own opinions rather than blindly following their leader's religion.

The fact he didn't impose his own views and beliefs was another point in his favor. He didn't mind the religion so long as it didn't cause conflict with the others, even offering a few practices some of the prisoners he had to be sacrificed if needed.

Atriox had actually been bold and questioned Naruto on that, and wasn't disappointed in the response nor the reaction of his most devoted.

Marco and Kimimaro both looked ready to strike him down, as did a few of Naruto's consorts, had Naruto not stayed their hands. Naruto had stated multiple times that he wasn't going to become a ruler that lashed out when questioned, in fact he encouraged it as his soldiers and people having doubts that went unaddressed wasn't a good thing for the kingdom he was building.

Those doubts and fears would fester and get worse until they eventually consumed the person or they saw clearly that there was no reason to doubt and be afraid of his decisions and actions. Such a thing wasn't acceptable and being questioned helped keep Naruto grounded and centered so he didn't let his ego grow too great nor did he think himself above the people, without whom he'd be a king of nothing.

Atriox, despite his better judgement, was beginning to like and respect the man he now served under. That only made things better since he planned to serve and gain his own people back in return, but if he didn't have to plan a coup or betrayal when doing so then all the better… especially since Atriox was beginning to question if he could even hope to win as he saw what Naruto's forces were capable of.

Even if they're technology was primitive compared to what the races of his universe were capable of, they made up for it with their mystics and wide range of powers, capabilities, and abilities.

If Atriox was more of a scientist, he'd be curious to see how one of those shields made by seals and runes could stand up to a tank round from his universe. Especially since Naruto was constantly pushing for advancement in all fields and areas rather than accepting how things currently were. He refused to get complacent and Atriox could honestly believe that his shields would be able to match if not surpass any from Atriox's universe, it was just a matter of how soon.

Both warriors snorted and shook their heads, they needed to focus before some weakling killed them. Just because they were brought back to life once didn't mean that Naruto could just keep doing it.

They needed to focus and keep their concentration to stay here and keep learning about and from their new leader.

BACK WITH NARUTO

Naruto slammed the white dragon into the mountain making it roar before the black dragon then slammed into him and breathed putrid green flames right at him. The flames didn't do much, but they were rather annoying and Naruto retaliated by slamming his paw over its mouth blocking the flames before he smashed the head into the ground next to him before throwing it away.

Naruto roared as he was blasted in the back by white lightning from the white dragon and growled before unleashing his own lightning back causing the dragon to roar in pain. The black dragon quickly moved and jumped on Naruto's back, biting into Naruto's shoulder causing him to roar before he grabbed it and threw it at the other dragon, not caring for the wound being torn open worse from his action.

He quickly unleashed his own flames at the two making them roar before the two unleashed their own attacks colliding with his own causing an explosion that sent all three back.

Naruto recovered first and quickly launched forward and grabbed both by the neck and dragged them across the ground before slamming both into a mountain side, causing a small landslide onto a deserted area.

The two growled and tried to slash at him, but Naruto's hide was too sturdy for their claws to pierce fully, so they resorted to their respective breaths pushing Naruto back before he retaliated with his own breath causing another explosion. Naruto was sent back and the two gave chase since the mountain stopped them from being sent back, though there was some disorientation, they were too focused on fighting him.

While this was going on, Naruto's three commanders were doing what they were very capable of doing. Grom and Akama were sweeping through the Countries without much resistance while Marco's forces were engaged in the majority of the fighting between the two countries. It was why Marco was given more of the battle-hardened and veterans among Naruto's forces than the others, he was going to be fighting two armies at once practically.

Of course, once word of Akama and Grom pushing into the countries, there would be a recall of forces as well as a number surrendering or seeking to join his own forces, whether for a better future or to join the winning side was debatable.

Still, the point was that the military might of the two countries wasn't going to last long against Naruto's own.

Naruto suspected only a hidden village and Iron Country would be truly able to give his people a challenge from these lands. Everyone else was too lazy and inexperienced to be of any real threat to them, it was like expecting a Genin with only D and C rank experience to take down an Anbu.

In this case a normal Genin, not someone like Gaara or anything.

Naruto hoped he was wrong, his forces could use some real exercise and combat, though he also didn't want to risk his forces too much at the same time. He could bring them back, yes, but he really didn't want to be doing something like that over and over again.

His forces were proving their capabilities by smashing and cutting through the opposition like they were paper and it was getting rather sad and disappointing to a few, but they understood not all enemies could be capable of standing against them. Regardless of personal feelings, they knew this needed to be done to ensure stability in their lord's territory.

Two countries constantly at each other's throats wasn't good for stability and peace once he was ruling the area, so they had to be beaten down and made to behave or face the wrath of their lord and master. Favoring one would just let that one oppress the other and make the latter resentful and possibly rise up later and cause problems.

No, both had to be humbled and broken to be rebuilt in a way that their feud was over and done with so Naruto could focus on the future.

As such, they would ensure to stamp down on their opponents, HARD, but not so much so that they ended up crippled beyond any hope of rebuilding since their master wanted something to build off of when the fighting was done.

Back with Naruto, he was currently slamming the black dragon into a cliff face repeatedly before throwing it away and into the white/silver one.

The two dragons were slowing down, clearly becoming exhausted while Naruto was still ready to fight. All three participants knew that Naruto was going to win, and pretty much had, it was just a matter of how much more pain they wished to have.

However, as Naruto stood over the two, he growled threateningly, making it clear that if they kept trying to fight him, he'd end them.

Both bowed their heads in submission, acknowledging that Naruto was the alpha/king and they'd obey. Their instincts driving them to challenge the newcomer were subdued and broken now that they saw the distinct gap between their power and capabilities.

Naruto then reverted back to his human form and looked at them, "Kneel." He ordered and the two glowed a moment before they shrunk to their own humanoid bodies.

The black dragon turned into a pale-skinned woman with two horns, a slender yet still curvaceous figure, baleful green eyes, and wearing a black robe that clung to her like shadow and was holding a scepter/staff in hand that was black wood with a green orb on top.

The white dragon had turned into a fair skinned woman with a bit of a generous figure, not to the size of Rangiku or Tsunade but still impressive. She wore a white toga-like gown, gold sandals, and had blue hair and the same blue eyes that she had as a dragon.

All in all, both women were beautiful and both still exuded a sense of power, not to the level of Kira, but still potent, nonetheless.

Both were also on their knees, showing their submission.

The black clad female feeling more cruel and dark, while the other was more calm and light.

"Names." Naruto ordered making the two shiver slightly at his tone.

"My name is Maleficent." The dark woman introduced as she lowered her head to him.

"I am Kisara." The lighter female stated as she gave a light bow.

"Ammon Menethil, though my birth name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Are you going to play nice or do I need to wipe you from existence right now?" Naruto asked as his aura began generating more and more, making both women shudder.

"No, sire." They both said, bowing their heads, knowing they were far outmatched against him.

"Good, now come, we have a battle to finish. I want these countries annexed into my empire now." Naruto ordered as he sprouted wings and took off towards the fighting, the two dragonesses following closely behind.

It was time to end this long going feud of the countries here and consolidate control and order for the people.

LATER: BACK AT WHIRLPOOL

Naruto dodged the blast of lightning that came towards him before retaliating with a blast of magical power that knocked his opponent back and they quickly rolled to dodge a blast of fire and retaliated with their own magical blast that Naruto sidestepped. Naruto retaliated with a strong gust of wind that slammed his opponent into a nearby tree before roots encircled and captured them.

"That's my win, Lily." Naruto stated as he relaxed and Lily sighed and nodded knowing she wasn't strong enough to break the hold and her hands were too immobile for her to try any magic that would distract him long enough to do anything.

"Damn it." She muttered as the roots receded and she sat down and wiped some sweat from her, letting Naruto appreciate her form even more as she was wearing what she called a sports bra and a pair of leggings plus some closed toed shoes, all of which his cloth makers were fascinated by when she conjured them and were grateful when she conjured more for them to study.

It was hard not to appreciate her form as her breasts, legs, ass, and waist weren't exactly covered in those clothes and each movement sent her breasts moving and bouncing.

"Don't worry, you've improved a great deal since coming here, you'll only get better as time goes on." Naruto stated as he offered her his hand, making her smile as she grabbed and stood.

She knew where his eyes were at times, but she couldn't help but feel flattered by it instead of offended.

Someone as strong, handsome, wealthy, talented, and beloved like Naruto finding her desirable was pleasurable to her.

It didn't make the pain of losing her friends and family any less, but it was still flattering and the weeks she had spent here had been some of the most joyous ones of her life.

Lily also felt drawn to Naruto, which Kira had told her was possibly his own power seeking hers out to connect and bond with her. Such a thing was a rumor in her world, that a wizard's magic would seek out someone compatible and meld with theirs and it could work with a witch, though usually it was for more exceptional witches and wizards than just baseline ones.

Naruto seemed to do it with ease, but his power being so astounding meant that it shouldn't be too surprising.

She'd always love James, but this feeling with Naruto wasn't going to go away, and if she was honest… she didn't want it to.

"Your skills with magic without a wand, staff, or any other focus are coming along nicely." Naruto commented, breaking Lily from her musings as she nodded and smiled at him.

"Yes, I've been speaking to your mages, mancers, druids, and even your warlocks and paladins on how they operate and use magic, along with how it feels to them to use such magic. It has been the most fun I've had since I was at Hogwarts talking with a few of the professors and then when I was taking my mastery in Charms." Lily stated finding that in-depth discussions about the different classifications, styles, types, aspects and powers of magic were always a highly interesting topic for her.

Adding in the talks of Chakra, physical energy, the different powers and energies Naruto was creating and showing, the Force, and Spiritual Energy, Reiatsu she believed it was called, and she could literally spend days just talking to the various people and learning about them all.

The different races were also an interest to her, unlike idiots of her homeworld, she didn't judge anyone for being non-human and respected any race that didn't treat her like shit. Plus, the various professions and capabilities they had were astounding in themselves as well.

She felt like she could spend a hundred years here and still not learn all that she could, whereas at Hogwarts there was limitations and the like that kept her from being able to learn all she could, and it was a bit disappointing.

"Good, one should never stop improving, you start to stagnate and you start to die." Naruto commented breaking her from her musings again, making her fight down a blush of embarrassment that she couldn't seem to focus that day.

"How are your other studies going?" Naruto asked and she shrugged.

"All right for the most part, I never anticipated that I'd be taking up hand to hand or weapon combat. I'm much more used to using magic than I am to getting my hands dirty, literally in this case." Lily stated as Naruto nodded.

"Fair, but how many of your fellow witches and wizards could handle you if you closed the distance and got physical with them rather than just magical?" He asked making her frown before nodding.

"A couple, I remember a dear friend, Sirius, mentioning that his family taught all females how to use a dagger for defense should they ever be relieved of their wands." She admitted and Naruto nodded.

"Now, proper training with that plus knowing where to hit, how hard to hit, and being able to use your body in combination would make things much harder for opponents. The fact that you can now use magic without a focus and don't need to chant or cast a spell with words is also in your favor. You're excelling because you're being pushed, you're being made to see where your limits are and push past them. Your people, in your own words, are stagnating and falling into a comfortableness that is making them not want to learn or discover new things, thus they weaken themselves. That so called dark lord, Voldemort, pushed beyond his limits and learned from multiple sources and, perhaps, questionable sources, and in doing so became one of the greatest threats and powerhouses seen in quite some time that even your greatest wizard, Dumbledore, had to take him seriously and respect him. If your people applied such a desire as a whole, you would be far more advanced, and possibly ruling your world rather than carving out your own hidden one." Naruto explained making her frown as she knew he was right.

Dumbledore had power from learning in various places, but she also knew his two main secrets: He had the Elder Wand, the legendary wand supposedly made by Death itself, and he had a Phoenix as a familiar. Having a higher grade magical creature as a familiar would boost anyone's power up since the bond was symbiotic in feeding both parties and letting them grow stronger together. Having an immortal bird that couldn't die, meaning it had lived thousands of years possibly and bonded with who knew how many other magical beings, meant Dumbledore likely got a great boost from his bond with Fawkes and as such his power wasn't likely to drop any time soon thanks to the bond.

Voldemort had gained his own power through various rituals and dark arts that gave power at the cost of something, which she knew also involved his Horcruxes as she and James had worked it out at one point when a seer friend of theirs mentioned that the Dark Lord seemed broken and wounded down to his core. While Horcruxes gave immortality so long as they existed, they also removed certain limitations that people had thanks to their souls. With his soul torn asunder, he could access rituals and magics that normally were vastly damaging because it could obliterate your soul if you weren't careful, but since he carved up his soul, he was safe from those effects. It also meant that he was safe from a majority of negative impacts that using the Dark Arts caried, beyond mental degeneration for some of them, as his body could be destroyed and he'd just build a new one and his soul couldn't be affected as it was already torn apart by him.

Both of them had basically had "cheats" to make them into the feared and respected individuals they were now.

Lily was easily three times as strong as she was when she left her world and it was through being educated by people who kept expanding and learning no matter how much power or knowledge they gained. If all of the witches and wizards had applied themselves like this, it was likely they could have usurped power from the Muggles long ago.

Nothing here was forbidden to learn, it was just certain subjects had to be learned while under supervision lest they risk hurting themselves or doing catastrophic damage, which Lily could understand and respect, it was much more uplifting and free than her world. Anything even remotely not pure "light" was considered evil and there was no distinguishing between dark and evil there.

Albus had basically made anything even remotely dark be restricted at Hogwarts, even if some of the stuff listed wasn't evil in nature.

The whole dark and light bit was a bit dumb to her seeing the various things Naruto and his people did. Even a basic levitation spell could cause serious harm to someone if it was used with that intent, which was what magic was fundamentally: Intent.

If you wanted to cause pain, suffering, and even death, then the magic would help do that regardless of the spell.

But Albus didn't see it that way, it was simply if there was any straightforward intent of causing pain to someone then it must be dark and therefore evil. And anything evil must be destroyed or removed from anyone possibly learning it.

The man also LOVED to hoard information himself so he was always the one in the know and thus had to be depended on. She, her husband, and their closest friends had regularly gotten into arguments with him over the shit he pulled and the fact he didn't want them to be aggressive in combatting Voldemort and his followers.

She was terrified to think of what her son would be dealing with if he was the one who was prophesized to bring down Voldemort. Albus would do nearly anything to control him and the outcome if he could and that would put a lot of shit out there for people to deal with and endanger her son.

"Naruto-kun." Karin called as she arrived at the training area, breaking Lily from her thoughts as they both turned to the glasses wearing redhead and saw that Fu was with her as well, the two having returned from their minor mission a day ago and needing rest.

"What is it, Karin?" Naruto asked as he looked at one of his lovers and one that would be his lover soon.

"Kira-sama has returned from Demon Country. Your grandparents and parents have also returned with a woman." She answered, smirking at the last bit knowing her master was going to get another capable female for his bed.

"I see, all right then." Naruto said before turning to Lily, "That concludes for today, Lily. Just as well since I think it's almost time for you to learn more of the healing arts." He continued making her nod before she bowed lightly and walked off, knowing Naruto's eyes were on her hips and ass as she walked and felt a pleasurable thrill and tingle go up her spine at the thought.

Naruto licked his lips a bit before turning and seeing Karin grinning while Fu was blushing a bit. "Let's go, we can talk on the way. I want to move against Kusa and Taki soon, I need you two to give all the information you can so we know where, what, when, and who to strike and break any opposition we face there." He ordered making the two nod knowing it was time to use the knowledge they had to the advantage of their lord and master, though Fu wouldn't likely be as informative as Karin was due to her status and treatment in the village.

However, that was made up for by the fact she knew how to get into Taki and thus their being hidden became useless and irrelevant.

While Karin could give more information, Fu still had vital information for them and thus was contributing quite a bit to the campaign.

Arriving at the throne room, Naruto smiled and happily caught Kira as she jumped at him in joy and he kissed her passionately before burying his face in her neck kissing and breathing in her scent. "I missed you, master." She murmured happily into his neck, both uncaring for the others in the room.

"Me too, pet. We'll catch up later." He stated as he kissed her cheek and broke the embrace with her nodding before he approached his birth parents and grandparents, giving them hugs and kissing the females on the cheek. "How did things go? Well, I hope, considering we now have a guest." He stated as he turned his attention to the female kunoichi there and saw she had a stance of a serious kunoichi and not a fangirl.

This girl knew what it meant to get her hands dirty and to fight and train until you dropped.

"It went well, the Daimyo is willing to be assimilated as he knows he can't stand up to your forces and this is actually the head of Nadeshiko village, the local ninja village, her name is Shizuka, and well… her people are willing to consider assimilation if you're willing to marry her." Jiraiya revealed making the three women that wanted to be with Naruto glare at him while Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"And I'm sure you explained that I'm not going to just marry for the sake of marriage, correct?" Naruto explained making Jiraiya nod.

"I did, they tentatively agreed that if you're not the best match for her, that you either sire a child with her to ensure a powerful offspring or you provide a suitable and capable replacement for her husband that is of near or the same age." Jiraiya explained as Naruto sighed.

"You're really making things easy here, gramps." Naruto sighed as he shook his head and Jiraiya shrugged slightly. "Very well, for now, Lady Shizuka will be a guest here to see if she and I are compatible and if she can get along with my other lovers. However, I still have the pressing matters of continuing the campaigns as well." Naruto declared making Shizuka bow her head in acknowledgement, knowing that for now at least his movements towards her people were paused until they saw how this turned out.

Luckily, on her part, she couldn't deny her future aspect for a husband was indeed handsome and his skill and prowess couldn't be denied from the reports of what he had done in the Chunin exams himself. The fact that he had multiple lovers meant that he was easily capable of satisfying her, or she hoped so and it wasn't just they claimed to be satisfied to stroke his ego, so there was hope for this relationship if it worked out well.

Naruto then turned his attention to his first mate, "What about Demon Country?" He asked and she smirked.

"The ruler, who is also the high priestess, has agreed to assimilation to your territory under a few terms." Kira stated as Naruto rose an eyebrow.

"And the terms are?" He asked already feeling amusement and lust coming from her.

"Firstly, we help purge a cult in the area and kill a demon that they've kept sealed away for generations. Second, there are several sacred areas of her country that she'd like repaired as finances have been dwindling for some time and she wishes to see them back to their former glory." Kira stated though Naruto gave her a look that clearly indicated he knew there was a third condition.

"Stop playing, Kira, what else does she want?" Naruto ordered knowing that there was a time and place for her antics and this was not one of them.

Kira merely smirked more, "She requests that she and her daughter become your personal servants, slaves, and attendants." Kira revealed shocking everyone while Naruto just looked at her, already guessing that was coming based on her amusement and lust.

"She what?!" Fu shouted and Kira giggled.

"Her bloodline has the power to see the future, apparently in every future where she was your concubine and slave, she got immense pleasure and happiness. She's a little… well, she's a lot backed up and horny and apparently when she started having the visions and submitted to that being her most ideal future, she started training her daughter how to serve and behave for a master. Both of them are beautiful in their own right, the mother, Miroku, even has a set of jugs that can rival me and Tsunade and her daughter will likely be able to compete when she blossoms more. She's also got some handmaidens that will serve you, and your lovers of course, dutifully and obediently. Other than those three things, she wants nothing else for her country to become yours." Kira revealed while still looking at Naruto.

Naruto sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Fine, those are agreeable terms. Marriage is one thing as that could give her authority over my forces and that needs time and trust, but if she just wishes to become a servant, then I can accept that, though we'll keep an eye on her. I don't want to risk any chance of children I have with her being influenced to be against me or any of us in the future." Naruto decided, since that was why he didn't want to jump into a marriage with Shizuka as his wives would have authority, even if he limited it when necessary, but authority, nonetheless.

"Great! I told her we'd return within the month to start handling those problems." Kira chirped happily, always eager to get more females to serve her mate and master with their bodies.

Lust and pleasure could fuel a demon after all, and her lord had plenty of the first and plenty of the second to give.

"That's fine, we should be finished consolidating things within Fang, Claw, River, Vegetables, and Rice. Vader saved the princess of Vegetables, and she's… eager to show her appreciation and is happy to assimilate into my empire. Walhart decimated River country's standing military force, but from what the Shades report they were all corrupt and I would have executed them anyway later on. Rice has been broken, with anything Orochimaru had that Danzo didn't take being either destroyed or repurposed for us, and the Daimyo being removed since he was an idiot who didn't know economics from war strategy. Fang and Claw were only too eager to join after slaying the Daimyo and ranking officials, the majority of the citizens and a portion of the army didn't want to keep fighting anymore especially over a feud that started over a century ago and there was never going to be a winner. With Honey now submitting to my rule, and Nadeshiko doing so hopefully in the future, that's six more countries we have to improve and spread our forces out a bit and once we handle Demon, Grass, and Forest, we'll be that much closer to finishing off the remaining threats." Naruto informed making them all nod, even Shizuka since she had talked with her escorts about the threats to Naruto, knowing they had three key enemies left to remove.

The Akatsuki, an organization formed by Madara and Obito Uchiha, the latter being Minato's former student believed dead, to capture the Jinchuriki and Biju to use an ancient statue and release the Jubi we're currently ruling Ame after removing the weakened Hanzo.

Iwa, who even now we're using everything in their arsenal to prepare defenses and areas of engagement to their liking with the Earth Daimyo supporting them as much as possible since he wasn't about to give up his throne nor submit to some child.

And Konoha, who were reveling in their darkness and debauchery, committing more and more heinous acts to keep themselves supported and functional while mixing what bloodlines they had left as much as they could. Using as many forbidden Jutsu they could find to increase their power while using everything they took from Orochimaru's bases to add to it.

Konoha would be the last stain removed from the Elemental Countries, once all the snakes, rats, and cockroaches fled there for safety and help.

Iron would be considered a threat if they had any intent of marching against Naruto, but they were more focused and concerned on defending their own borders and territory. The only time they got involved in world events is if they were hired or someone crossed them in some way, they never voluntarily joined without a real reason to.

While formidable, they were not a true threat unless pushed into fighting.

Naruto didn't want to fight them, they were formidable and honorable warriors, but their submission wasn't likely either, hence why Naruto was holding off on marching against them for the moment. He'd rather have the full contingent of honorable and skilled warriors rather than a broken and defeated people, who may rebel later on to regain their honor.

That wasn't even counting how many of his own warriors may fall in the process too since he knew the Samurai would have no give or submission in them, they'd fight to the last man and there was no telling how many of the women knew how to fight as well.

"Anyway, there's still much to do. Baa-chan, I believe you were going to help in Vader's operation to improve his limbs and nervous system." Naruto reminded her, making her nod before she kissed Jiraiya's cheek and left to go do just that.

"Everyone else, relax, train, or whatever, there will be more fighting soon enough." Naruto instructed, making them all nod as they dispersed except for Shizuka and Kira.

Shizuka to spend time and get to know him and Kira because she had been gone so long and wanted to be around her mate, and actually mate of course.

No one could say his life was boring, many other things for sure, but not boring.

WEEKS LATER: DEMON COUNTRY

Naruto marched with his contingent of forces; including Maul, Atriox, Walhart, Aversa, and Shizuka, so she could see her future husband in action rather than training; which was the largest of three contingents unleashed this time. The reason was because Kira had informed him that the demon was sealed in two places: the soul within Demon Country and the body within Swamp Country, so naturally that meant they'd be taking both countries at once, which worked out as the Daimyo of Swamp was recently dead and had no heirs, so there was a lot of infighting going on right now.

Once they reached the border, his forces moved to secure Demon and then press into Swamp, they needed to let the cult try and free the demon, named Mōryō, so Naruto could kill it completely and leave nothing to fester and infect the land or others.

So far they'd met resistance from some stone warriors, apparently servants of the demon they were going to kill and the demon's followers called them forth to delay anyone seeking to stopping the demon being set free.

While they proved an obstacle, thanks to the fact they could repair themselves rapidly, they still fell before him and his forces, mostly due to the fact they were so slow and stiff when moving and attacking. Maul likened them to early droids of his realm that could fight, but they couldn't perform at the level of a biological, though he mentioned one type that was an exception, but it had been dismantled over a thousand years before Maul's time and no one tried to remake them, at least not effectively. Naruto had wiped out quite a few of the stone soldiers with his combat and weapon skills, not bothering to use magic or jutsu on such meager opponents.

Such a thing earned approval from his newest followers, especially Maul since his master didn't know about restraint, not truly. Sidious only knew how to indulge in his power and to make others suffer through it, he didn't know true discipline or restraint and only practiced them just enough to keep his friendly appearance up for the public. The man would unleash his power endlessly and forsake more "mundane" methods of handling his opponents or threats to just unleash his power in an overwhelming force.

But what happened when that force was matched or redirected?

What if that force couldn't stand up to a greater one?

What if that force was used against you instead of for you?

When his power wasn't an easy win, Sidious had to depend on others to try and handle his problems for him. He couldn't stand on his own two feet against all that stood against him, he had agents, pawns, tools, "friends", and more and more things to protect him rather than face those problems himself.

Maul was one such tool and had realized too little too late that he was NEVER going to be a true Sith with Sidious as his master, the man didn't want to share power. He wanted it ALL. According to the Rule of Two for the Sith: To have an apprentice was to teach them all that you possibly could so they could surpass you and then replace you as the master thereby ensuring that the Sith stayed strong and only got better each generation, but Sidious didn't want to be replaced and was eager to find ways to cheat death and live beyond normal means so he could forever be the master and never go to death.

Naruto had no such problems.

Sure, he sent his forces out to fight in different areas, but he went where there was going to be the biggest challenge and threat, holding his forces back from engaging if the threat was unknown or possibly too severe for them to face.

He faced his opponents head on and didn't dare shy away from fighting, no matter who or what he had to fight. He had a near endless life but wasn't afraid for it to be cut short and didn't seek ways to cheat death, rather than declare that death could have him when it had earned him.

Such a thing is likely why his power in the Force was so great despite being untrained in its ways and arts.

He rose against the challenges, whether Light Sided or Dark Sided, and came out stronger and passing the challenges with flying colors.

The Force tended to reward those that faced its challenges and passed, something Maul thought he was doing only to learn that he was instead handling Sidious' challenges and making things easier for him instead of improving himself.

Maul would now be more patient and listen to the Force on if he should be facing something or if this was not a fight he should be part of.

So far… he'd yet to hear the latter spoken, so he was fine with unleashing his skill and prowess on his opponents and Naruto's enemies.

He was getting stronger by the day, both physically and through the Force, and he wasn't about so screw it up now.

Atriox was similar as the prophets just sent legions of Covenant warriors to their death saying they'd be rewarded in the next life for their dedication. They never questioned why Humans were on worlds that they wished to investigate.

They never tried to reason or bargain with Humans.

They never fought, just stayed behind in the ships with thousands of guards to protect them.

Naruto didn't need protecting, he accepted it to let his confidants feel more secure about things, but he didn't actually need it.

Atriox could and would honestly say that he didn't know for sure if he could beat Naruto if they were reduced to base things. He'd not ah e his armor or any advancements and Naruto wouldn't use any of his powers or his weapons and they'd just fight it out.

Atriox couldn't confidently say he'd win, nor did he fully think he would.

Naruto was the first one in on the battlefield, but was willing to discuss and negotiate when the time called for it. He fought a vast array of enemies and opponents, learning and growing each time, thereby making him better than the opponent that face him.

Atriox was the same way, if he could he would have marched right to the prophets and killed them himself, but that wasn't feasible at the time.

The point was both appreciated Naruto's stance and actions and respected him for both.

Eventually, Naruto and the main group arrived at the capital, though really it was just a grand temple/palace with some walls and a few housing areas around it, while the rest of his forces began spreading through the country handling any and all problems within.

Mostly the stone soldiers that were out and about in massive force, though it seemed to some that the more they destroyed, the more difficult it was to destroy them. There were bandits and thugs too since they were trying to pillage the area while it was in chaos, but they were no real threat.

Approaching the temple/palace, the guards quickly moved to let him and his group in before they were escorted inside to the audience room where they saw two women.

The older was clearly Miroku and wore robes that accentuated her natural body curves and womanly figure while still holding regal essence. Said figure was shown with large breasts that could easily rival Tsunade's, wide hips, thick thighs, and a very bouncy ass that was additional to her natural beauty.

The younger was clearly Shion and she wore robes similar to her mother, though her figure wasn't as advanced as Miroku's, Shion showed signs that she'd be a match for her mother as she got older, maybe faster if she was impregnated sooner than Miroku. Where Miroku had beauty and elegance, Shion had prettiness and cuteness going for her.

"Welcome, Lord Naruto, to our home and lands. I trust the trip wasn't too taxing on you and your followers?" Miroku greeted as she bowed, letting her breasts swing and jiggle as she did, while Shion bowed as well.

"I thank you, Lady Miroku, and no, there was nothing we couldn't handle with relative ease. My forces are already moving through the country as we speak to remove more of those stone soldiers as well as handle any bandits, mercenaries, and others that wish to do harm while the country is unstable." Naruto informed making her nod.

"It will soon be your country, so you are free to do what you want with it." She stated with a smile before she motioned for an attendant to come up with a set of papers. "These are what information we were able to gather on the leader of the cult and his four lieutenants." She stated as Naruto scanned the information before handing them to Maul, Walhart, Aversa, Atriox, and Shizuka.

It wasn't a ton of detail; basic appearance, capabilities shown, weapons used, demeanor, and a few odds and ends; but it was still information and that often could be the key to victory.

The thing that caught Naruto's attention was the leader, named Yomi, was reported to enhance his four primary followers with some medical art. From the brief description, Naruto could liken it to the Orcs when they fed on demonic blood and turned into Fel Orcs.

The difference was that this seemed to need to be reinforced/replenished after a time or after a certain expenditure. Still, if it was possible to recreate that even on a smaller scale, the improvements could be astounding.

"They have about a day's head start on you heading towards Swamp Country, though they will likely have to rest. Yomi took the soul of Mōryō into his body to transport it, but no matter how strong, a normal mortal cannot handle a soul such as Mōryō's for long; they will have to slow or stop at times to rest and recover. If Yomi deteriorates too much, Mōryō's soul will be free, but it can't travel the distance to his body nor can it cross the boundary of the seal placed on the body's prison. He has to cross inside Yomi or they'll have to break the seal, which would take much more time than they can afford." Miroku explained making Naruto nod.

"We'll rest here for a time then. I want Yomi to free Mōryō so I can destroy him, I don't want to chance some fool or asshole trying something while our attention is elsewhere or Mōryō finding a way to get free of his seal or influencing others outside of it. I'd rather just put the threat down instead of locking it up only for it to cause problems down the line." Naruto explained making Miroku and his forces nod in understanding.

"We would be most honored to house you here until you're ready to depart. If you require anything, my servants and attendants will be glad to provide it if myself or my daughter cannot." Miroku stated putting emphasis on the "anything" bit making a few of Naruto's warriors snort a bit.

"We are grateful, milady." Naruto stated knowing they had to time things so the enemy didn't suspect something, but also to arrive within a timeframe that Mōryō couldn't do any irreparable damage to the area.

No point claiming a wasteland that couldn't be used in the future.

It was better to break down an area and still have something to build on than it was to lay waste and have to start from scratch… with Konoha being the exception in this case.

While his forces relaxed, Naruto sat with Miroku and Shion and listened to them explain various aspects of Demon Country, different key places, natural resources, layout of the land, etc. etc. Ensuring Naruto knew the entire country well and where he would need to send his people for different tasks.

Tazuna would definitely be making plenty of money with all the various projects that Naruto needed him to oversee and would have help with his different apprentices with Inari being his chief apprentice. Well, Inari was his chief apprentice when Nagato wasn't teaching him some ninja arts that were appropriate/usable at his young age.

Before long, Naruto's scattered Shades reported that the five targets were at the border to Swamp Country, and he decided they had given them enough of a head start and set off after them.

Naruto, Maul, and Shizuka moved on foot while Aversa had her flying mount and Walhart had his horse and Atriox had an Orc Wolf. All of them were moving quickly and efficiently through the trees and rocky areas without much trouble.

Within a couple of hours, they were forced to stop as a large earth wall rose in front of them. "What's this? Some pathetic weaklings trying to get in the way of my boss? And from the looks of it, the so called monster of Whirlpool. I'm not impressed." A figure stated making them look at him.

He was bulky and tall with pale white skin, white shoulder-length hair, and red eyes. He had a blue cloth over his mouth similar to Kakashi's mask, but not as form fitting. His attire was white with a hexagram symbol on the back, a blue sleeveless shirt under the attire, and shoes that typically were worn by a martial artist.

"Move on, I'll handle this simpleton." Walhart stated as he dismounted and stood against the lumbering man, who was named Gitai based on the reports they read, while his horse moved away.

Naruto nodded and kept moving by going over the wall with Gitai grinning at Walhart. "You're out of your league, old man. Once I've turned you into a bloody pile of goo, I'll go after your comrades and crush them too." He stated while grinning as Walhart snorted.

"You're just an insect, a berserker, a wild animal that's unleashed on enemies to slow them or cause damage, but not truly win or be a combatant. It would be a waste of time for the man I serve to handle you, so I decided to do so." Walhart stated knowing that was how a few men serving him were when he was a conqueror.

They were good for causing chaos for the enemy, but they weren't true warriors and fighters that could adapt and overcome any enemy.

"Whatever, old man, I just want to crush you pathetic insects so I can move on to killing more and more." Gitai stated as he flipped through handsigns and launched large boulders at Walhart, who casually cut through them with Wolf Berg with ease.

Walhart hadn't been twiddling his thumbs before leading the march on River Country, he had been training and sparring with various warriors in Naruto's service, growing his strength and skill further and further. He was easily twice as strong as he was before and wasn't looking to stop growing anytime soon.

This simpleton would be a mediocre test for his skills, but it wasn't about him at the moment, just removing an obstacle in Naruto's way.

Walhart then moved forward rapidly and swung making Gitai block with a grin since his arm was encased in hardened rock. The grin turned into a scowl as the axe cut through the rock and into his arm making him growl as he tried to push back, but found his strength being matched by Walhart and it was pissing him off even more.

Walhart then brought his other hand up and slammed his fist into Gitai's face sending him crashing into the wall he erected a few minutes earlier and made him fall to floor.

Gitai got up with a growl, "So you have a bit of fight in you, but it's not going to matter." He stated before he tore a snake like creature out of his body and then forced the essence inside it into his mouth before swallowing it and then began laughing as his body shifted and changed.

He gained three more heads around his first head letting him face all four directions and causing his mask to tear apart revealing his sharp teeth. His body bulked up more, his skin turned grey, he grew four more arms, and green markings appeared on his face and arms.

"Yes! Fucking yes! This is what I'm fucking talking about." Gitai exclaimed with a mad grin on his face.

He then looked towards Walhart and stomped on the floor causing earth projectiles to launch and Walhart batted them aside only for them to explode causing Gitai to laugh.

"Serves you right, old man, you never should have challenged me!" He roared in laughter only to gasp in shock and pain as he looked down at his chest to see Wolf Berg embedded there. He looked up and could only look on in shock as Walhart emerged from the smoke unharmed and his armor not even scratched. "Im-Impossible." He choked out as blood leaked from his mouth.

"Hardly. You're just too pathetic to comprehend it because you need a boost to your power to use as a crutch, rather than rely on your own strength." Walhart stated as he walked forward and ripped his axe free before beheading Gitai.

Shaking his head at the disappointment, he moved back to his horse, only to have to raise his arm a bit in defense as Gitai's body violently exploded.

Ignoring that, Walhart mounted his horse and moved to meet up with either Naruto or some of his forces to press into Swamp and clear any resistance there.

Back with Naruto, they were stopped again by an opponent who unleashed a water dragon at them only for Aversa to counter it with her magic.

"Hmm, this little fly seems interesting, I think I'll play with her for a while, you go on ahead." Aversa stated as she grinned and licked her nails while preparing her magic while the girl glared at her.

Naruto shrugged and kept moving with Maul, Atriox, and Shizuka, while Aversa blocked the girl, who was named Shizuku, from trying to stop them or pursue.

"You're playing with me now, little fly, make it entertaining." Aversa stated with a grin as she unleashed Arcfire at her opponent, who quickly unleashed a water jutsu to block it, filling the room with smoke.

Shizuku looked around trying to find where her opponent was, only to jump back as an arc of wind came soaring at her. However, she was unprepared for a miasma like attack to hit her and force her to scream as she felt herself getting weaker and drained.

"Kukuku, such a tasty little fly I caught." Aversa stated as Shizuku tried to keep her eyes open, "Do try to last, I want to have plenty of fun, and it's always the best if I hear you scream." Aversa continued before she emerged with a dark grin on her face before using more of her magic.

The surrounding area was filled with Shizuku's screams of terror and pain as well as her pleas for mercy.

A ways off, Naruto and company were stopped again, this time by a man with fair skin, long blue hair, and light colored blue eyes. He had the same outfit as the others except he had a belt with pouches and black gloves on as well.

"I'll handle this one." Maul stated as he stepped up making Naruto shrug as they kept moving only for the male to attack with an air jutsu, but it stopped midair and slammed back into him sending him into a tree. "I am your opponent, if you wish to harm them, you'll have to defeat me first." Maul stated making the man grit his teeth as he readied himself.

The male, who Maul knew was named Setsuna, snarled and called a pair of double bladed sickles to his hands while Maul had his sword ready.

The two stood there, unmoving, before suddenly dashing at each other and began striking… or rather, Setsuna began striking while Maul watched and blocked finding his opponent to not be that skilled, but better than quite a few people Maul had killed on this world since coming here.

However, he could get a better sparring partner and opponent from Naruto, Vader, Qui-Gon, or the former's forces, so he had no reason to drag this out especially since he didn't even need the Force to give him an edge.

With that in mind, he backhanded Setsuna before bringing his blade up and cutting through the sickles and ruining them before he launched Setsuna into a tree with the Force.

Setsuna tried to use his chakra enhancement, but Maul wasn't going to sit and wait and impaled him through the forehead into the tree.

Withdrawing his weapon, Maul snorted before moving where he felt the Force telling him to go.

Further in, Naruto, Atriox, and Shizuka were stopped by a man with pink hair wearing similar clothes to the others.

"I'll take him, Naruto-kun, I could use a workout." Shizuka stated as she readied herself against the man they knew as Kusuna, a medic fighter and second in command to Yomi, and Naruto simply moved on without a word with Atriox following.

Kusuna was about to attack, only to get slugged in the face by Shizuka sending him back. "Your fight's with me, pay attention or you'll die much faster." Shizuka stated with a smirk as Kusuna scowled.

He tried to open his coat to get to his weapons, but Shizuka was on him in an instant and unleashing a barrage of attacks to his person, forcing him to block and have to use his chakra to strengthen himself and heal from the blows.

However, he was unprepared for some blades to suddenly spring from her gloves and impale him, causing him to scream. He also wasn't prepared for her to rip them out and began stabbing him over and over again, causing him dozens of wounds in a matter of seconds as the four blades from her gloves cut into him easily.

Before he could contemplate healing or retaliation, she jabbed the blades up through his chin and into his brain. "My future husband was very gracious in providing me with some new tools, and training to use them. I'd feel bad about killing you, but that would be counterproductive. So just die so I can go help my fiancé conquer this land." She stated as she ripped her claws out before jabbing them through his eyes and then the others into his throat before tearing both out.

She then casually flicked her wrists to get the excess blood off while Kusuna's corpse hit the ground.

Flexing her chakra slightly, she watched as the blades went back into her gloves just above her knuckles and then faded into them like they weren't even there. Her fiancé's skill with runes and seals still amazed her even after seeing it firsthand for the last month.

Shaking her head, she moved on to either catch up to Naruto or meet up with his forces that were taken the longer way to where Mōryō was sealed away and help them fight the stone warriors that were still around.

With Naruto, he and Atriox had just finished destroying another contingent of the stone soldiers as they moved and saw that some of his soldiers had arrived in the area and were destroying more of the stone soldiers. Naruto didn't really care or focus on that since he knew his forces were capable and just kept going to Mōryō's prison which was a nearby volcano with a small cave opening at the base.

Nodding to Atriox, he went for the cave while Atriox went to destroy more of the soldiers.

Naruto calmly walked into the cave, not bothered at all that he was going to the heart of a volcano. He also had no reason to worry about his forces handling the stone warriors outside, though part of him hoped that one or more would be intact after Mōryō's defeat, he was curious if he could recreate them using his own methods.

Arriving at the chamber, Naruto looked around before noticing Yomi standing there looking angry and smug at the same time. "You're too late. Lord Mōryō will soon rise as the seal weakens by the second, unable to handle his terrible power." Yomi stated as Naruto snorted.

"Sadly, for you, I have no need for a host or container any longer. Thus, your usefulness is at an end." Mōryō stated before Yomi lurched forward in pain as his chest suddenly began expanding before it burst open and a dark shadowy mass flew into the cracking seal causing it to glow brighter before it began crumbling apart and the ground started shaking.

"Figured that would happen, but I'm not going to let potential information go to waste." Naruto stated pulling the dying Yomi to his hand using Universal Pull before he ripped all the information from Yomi's head on his unique medical techniques and jutsu.

He'd give it to Tsunade and his medical groups, if they could use the enhancements without drawbacks then all the better. If not, then they may develop something from it themselves.

Naruto then turned to the large shadowy mass of tentacles and heads impassively as it roared in the air. While the roar and power were stronger than what Maleficent and Kisara gave upon awakening, it was still nothing compared to Kil'Jaeden and Deathwing.

Hence why Naruto just swung his sword cutting off various limbs and letting them fall into the lava before blasting the various limbs and the beast itself with different Holy spells causing more pain and damage and making Mōryō roar in rage and pain.

"Just die, you waste of space." Naruto intoned before he unleashed a higher tier spell causing a large golden angel with a sword to form from Holy energy before it reared back and impaled Mōryō causing him to roar as the energy began funneling into him through the sword causing him to expand as the holy energy ate away at him, turning him into nothing as he was eaten away by it.

Naruto snorted and turned to leave, but paused as Acnologia pulsed on his arm. Raising an eyebrow, he raised his arm up and the dark essence around the cave flew to his arm and bonded with Acnologia causing him to pulse and glow as he fed.

[You could have told me you could feed on this, though I'm surprised that a dragon can consume demonic power without ill effects.] Naruto stated to his darker tenant.

[Normally we can't, but thanks to that divine seal that held him in place, it was purified it for the most part. While I am a being of light, my counterpart is that of dark, meaning he can consume the lingering essence and power to strengthen himself, and therefore you in the process.] Naga informed knowing that they both had been feeding on his different energies, though they each had a preference for their own growth and nourishment.

[Noted.] Naruto replied before he lowered his arm once Acnologia finished feeding on the essence of the area.

As Naruto left, he made a few clones to cause the cave to collapse, he didn't want to risk that some lingering darkness or energy would infect someone that decided to explore.

All in all, it was a satisfying outing, though a bit disappointing that there was no one to make him work for a win, but he couldn't always have fun.

MEANWHILE IN GRASS

Vader moved and bisected a Kusa Shinobi before throwing a group away with a blast of the Force before he raised his hand stopping several arrows and kunai that were launched at him before sending them back at his attackers. Nearby, Qui-Gon was cutting down his opponents as well and in rapid succession.

While the "Maverick" Jedi wasn't usually this aggressive, he couldn't help but be a bit lax in restraint. To him and Vader, the whole country reeked of darkness, even to the point both believed the Dark Side would be thankful for the cleansing of it. Everyone he cut down was shedding a bit more light into the air around the country, giving hope and life to it again as well as any people not corrupted yet.

Of course, both could sense some kind of beacon of the Dark Side radiating from a location some distance away from them. They'd deal with it after they handled their current situation.

Currently both were fighting within the capital of Grass and were facing both Shinobi and Samurai as well as other so called fighters. Kusa was currently being hit by Kimimaro, but with the number of Shinobi here, Vader could assume that the Kage and Daimyo decided to pool their forces together to repel the attack rather than have half the force in two areas.

A valid strategy at times, but not when the enemy was overwhelming in strength and size that they could easily match the doubled force of defenders.

As he fought, Vader couldn't help but think on his new limbs. They were certainly lighter, meaning they were faster and more maneuverable, but also stronger thanks to runes and seals being put on them. The fact that one seal was actually letting him feel with the prosthetics as well as channeling the Force even better was also of interest to him.

However, they weren't anywhere near as advanced as they could be.

Vader knew for a fact that the Empire had a vast and sophisticated network of workers and scientists dedicated to improving prosthetics, medicine, engineering, weapons, and more. What he was forced to work with for limbs were outdated even when Sidious had generously given them to him after his battle with Obi-Wan.

Vader knew why; improving his prosthetics to not be conductive to electricity and making him lighter and more maneuverable would make him more ambitious and seek to remove Sidious even faster than he already was.

The prosthetics were Vader's primary chains, muzzle, and leash that Sidious held to keep him in line and subservient to him.

Not to mention the denial of seeking medical treatments that could fix Vader further to not need the mask, respirator, and suit, which was another means of keeping him as a slave rather than a true apprentice to Sidious.

Vader wouldn't deny the constant pain made him call and harness the Dark Side to him like no other possibly had since the time of Darth Scion, but still if he was healed he could focus and be better than what was left in this suit.

However, if Vader wanted to really fill his body with the Dark Side, then he just had to remember how Sidious had lied to him about killing Padme. If she had given birth then his choking her wasn't the cause of her death, and Sidious either lied to him to make him bathe in Dark Side, to see him suffer for not killing Obi-Wan, or to keep him from trying to find her when he wanted Vader to focus elsewhere.

Likely all three, knowing the bastard.

There was also the hatred he felt for himself for daring to harm Padme, Leia, and Luke while Vader and the hatred he felt for failing to save his mother as he had promised her. That hatred could be a powerful thing, especially when channeled properly, but it could be detrimental to you as well if you weren't strong enough to channel and harness it for what you desired.

However, talking with Qui-Gon and Naruto had widened the prospective more.

Padme was Obi-Wan's fault, him sneaking on her ship and then just waltzing down the ramp like Padme knew he was there the whole time. He had been so amped up on the Dark Side, on rage and power, that seeing Obi-Wan there just made the darkness fester and lash out without thinking.

Leia was Obi-Wan, Yoda, Bail Organa, and Sidious' fault for the trickery and treachery they performed. If he had known that Padme survived, he'd have gone looking for her and his child/children and would haven know that Leia was his and not tortured her on the Death Star. Obi-Wan, Bail, and Yoda using such a Sith tactic against him by turning his children into the two primary spearheads to kill him was another factor: Leia would crush all in the political arena while Luke would grow strong to be a Jedi that would kill him.

Luke's injury was also the three fools' fault since if Luke knew about him, he'd not fight him like they had, which was likely the point they wanted. Vader was partly to blame as his pride was wounded at such an inexperienced boy harming him, but that fight didn't need to be pushed so hard if Luke knew about him.

Vader accepted and acknowledged that he had blame for those things, but he wasn't the catalyst of those incidents and would harbor hatred for those four fools till the day he died.

"Sir!" A rider called as he rode up to Vader.

"What is it?" Vader questioned as he saw it was one of the Elves.

"Sir, reports came in from our Rogues that infiltrated the palace: the Kage, Daimyo, and a portion of their best soldiers and commanders have fled to the southeast where our scouts state a notorious prison is." The Elf reported making Vader frown since that was where the Dark Side energy was.

"Very well, first we secure this area, then I shall take a contingent of warriors to follow them. Anyone who surrenders is not to be harmed until they are checked by an Uzumaki and Yamanaka member, NO exceptions." Vader ordered making the Elf nod before he moved to give the orders.

"I think I shall stay and handle the clean up afterwards, I don't know if I want to see what is giving such a radiating presence of the Dark Side just yet." Qui-Gon stated since he was always a follower of the Living Force, though Naruto had had some interesting discussions with him on that topic that made him have to reflect on things and wonder if he and the Jedi were truly so narrow minded.

"I understand, you have not experienced war like I and others have, it is natural that you would need to rest for fear of giving into it." Vader stated as Qui-Gon smiled at him being so easily read by his at one time potential student.

It really was a shame he never got the chance to teach Anakin, what a True Jedi he could have been.

But such a time was gone, it was time to focus on the present and that meant securing this city and country.

IN WHIRLPOOL

Claudette looked around Whirlpool in wonder and awe at the various sights, sounds, and smells going on. She had been in capital cities before, but Whirlpool put them all to shame by a wide margin.

It wasn't just the various races and people moving about either, the architecture, lay out, vibrancy, liveliness, and atmosphere of the area was just thriving and humming with a life of its own that it couldn't be described, you had to feel it for yourself.

There were various stores, vendors, and food spaces that seemed to cater to various tastes and desires. The smell from the food areas made her mouth salivate and she saw various dishes that she'd never seen before. She remembered seeing one red haired woman eating with her fingers as she ate some kind of bread item and what seemed like long cut potatoes. It seemed odd to eat with your hands intentionally, and it not be a sandwich or rice ball or something on a stick, but she figured it was something that one of the foreign groups under Naruto's command did and wasn't going to judge.

She could also see various Shinobi from clans she knew were part of Konoha before the Chunin Exams and guessed they moved away from that place sometime after with Naruto's assistance. She was glad; she shuddered to think what would have happened if the full might of Konoha was corrupted like the remnant was, they likely would have tried something against her father to either make him submit or just remove him so they had free reign of Fire Country.

Shaking those thoughts away, she made sure she kept an eye on her escort. She didn't want to get lost; unlikely since she was heading for the central tower; and didn't want anyone thinking she was a spy or something if she was wandering by herself.

Although, she did reflect on things.

Her father and mother decided to send her here until further notice, both to protect her and so she had a chance to get to know Naruto better. She didn't like it, but she also knew that she was her parents' only weakness.

Strong as she was, she couldn't fend off hundreds of attackers at once and Konoha could do such a thing to acquire her as leverage. Not to mention the information Minato and Kushina gave about Danzo having an implanted Sharingan eye in his head that could manipulate people to do his bidding. Claudette knew that no matter how strong she was, given enough time she could succumb and break under his attentions and be forced to serve him.

The thought made her shudder in revulsion, she'd rather hack herself to pieces than serve that slime.

She broke from her thoughts as she found they had arrived at the tower and entered before climbing the stairs, she idly noted that some rather short people and green skinned short creatures were working on some contraption in a hollowed out section of the wall, but didn't pay too much mind to it.

Reaching the top floor, her escort; named Fara if she recalled correctly and also recalled she was one of the lovers Naruto had; knocked thrice before opening the door.

Walking inside, Claudette saw a spacious and well decorated office that idly reminded her of her father's study in the palace and saw Minato, Kushina, Tobirama Senju, Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade, and Jiraiya doing some paperwork while Shizune, Biwako, Haku, and Kin were standing nearby collecting or handing documents to the group.

"Lady Claudette has just arrived." Fara announced making them look at her.

"Claudette! Welcome to Whirlpool." Kushina stated happily as she stood and walked over before giving the girl a hug, which was returned.

"Hello, Kushina." Claudette stated as the embrace was broken.

"What brings you here?" Kushina asked with both curiosity and worry being in her voice.

"Father and mother thought it best that I get away for a while and what safer place than here with my future husband?" Claudette stated with a smile making Kushina nod.

"Well, you're welcome here, though sadly Naruto isn't here right now. He's leading a campaign in Demon and Swamp Country at the moment at the request of the high priestess of Demon." Kushina stated making Claudette frown, but she nodded all the same since it was understandable.

Naruto wasn't like a Daimyo or Kage, he marched with his men and fought on the frontlines right beside them. Likely earning a high level of respect and admiration from his soldiers and people in the process as he was taking the defense of their homes into his own hands and helping to defend it rather than sit back and let others do all the work.

"I swear, he always seems to start a new campaign just as an influx of paperwork comes in. I'd swear he was doing this as some sort of prank on us." Tsunade stated as she cracked her knuckles to relieve some tension.

"Maybe so, Tsu-chan, but it needs to be done and we were informed in detail about what he wished done and handled while away." Mito stated as she signed another paper and handed it to Kin.

"Ah, this is something I did NOT miss while dead." Minato stated as Tobirama nodded in agreement.

"Come on, we're almost done for the day. At least with six of us doing it, it's not as bad as if one person does it." Kushina stated as she patted Claudette's shoulder and moved back to the desk.

Only claudette noticed the amused/foxlike smiles on Kin, Biwako, Shizune, Haku, and Fara's faces and it looked like they were trying to hold back laughter.

"Fara, why don't you show Claudette around as well as where the house is and where she can pick a room. She can meet the others as we go." Kin instructed making Fara nod before she led Claudette away.

"Can I ask what was so funny in there?" Claudette asked and Fara giggled before leaning and whispering something causing Claudette's eyes to widen before she clamped a hand over her mouth to not laugh loudly and kept following Fara.

She pitied those at work quite a bit, but it was their own fault.

She just hopped she'd enjoy her time here and get along with her… sisters? She guessed that was as good a term as any since she was sure Naruto wouldn't want fighting, though based on the fact Kin gave an order, she assumed there was a hierarchy and hoped that it was fair treatment and living for them all.

She doubted it wouldn't be, but fear wasn't always rational.

Still, she'd take the opportunity to get to know Fara since she was one of the more exotic women she'd seen and wanted to learn more about her and her people.

If nothing else, she was sure she'd have an informative time while here.

AT THAT MOMENT IN FOREST COUNTRY

If you had told Fu a year go that she would be leading an invasion force into Taki, she would have vehemently denied it and then lashed out at whoever told her for daring to say such a thing. Yet, here she was, and with the First Hokage right alongside her to top it off.

Said Senju was there for two reasons: 1) he and Taki had a shaky past where one of their best tried to assassinate him and thus make a bigger name for their village. 2) it was his response to that attempt that put Fu in the position she was in before Naruto interfered.

Wanting to keep the peace, Hashirama had offered the seven tails to them as a means of showing he took their village seriously and as such they were the only minor village to get a tailed beast. Idealist that he was, he never expected the shit show that would come from it.

He had planned for the tailed beasts and even Jinchuriki to be a deterrent to war since they'd be such strong opponents and could devastate an army, why would you pick a fight? Instead they were made into heavy weapons of war to be used, abused, and discarded at the whims of those in charge.

He had never felt like such a fool before, but at least now his great-great-grandson was fixing his and others' mistakes and setting things right.

Was it an ideal way of doing it? No.

Was it possibly the way Hashirama would have chosen? No.

Was it the way he would have wanted to see it happen? No.

Was it necessary and arguably the best way? Yes.

Was it working? Yes.

Were the various people under his grandson's rule happier, healthier, and better protected than they were outside of it? Yes.

Was Naruto butchering everyone and thing in his way? No.

Was Naruto trying to execute this all flawlessly? Yes.

Did it always work? No, but it worked more than anyone else could have gotten it to.

The positives were too many to deny for Hashirama and Naruto had summed things up rather well one time.

Ideals are peaceful, history is violent.

How much does History talk about the ideals of people? Now compare it to how much it talks about wars, battles, coups, assassinations, duels, and more. History doesn't care for ideals, and generations down the line stop caring for those ideals. Someone with an opportunity, will impose their will and beliefs on people or will be the ones in charge of writing history. They toss out the ideals and only show what they think gives their country or village strength and power.

You and uncle trusted the wrong man to keep your ideals alive, because the moment he got power all he could think about was how to keep it and how to get more of it and that mentality spread far and wide to each country. Some infected more than others, evidenced by Mizu and Kumo being more salvageable than others.

However, sadly, now I have to clean it all up because no one else wants to or will even try to if given the chance. That means that I am both a hero and a monster, depending on who you ask and when they do.

There will always need to be a hero in history and story, something or someone for people to aspire to be and look up to and try to emulate. However, there will always be a need for a monster, something to fear and know that you shouldn't cross lest you suffer. Something to make those with dark or overly noble intentions stay in check. I'm both of those, grandfather, I am the hero to the people who serve and live under me, and I am the monster to those who oppose and stand against me. I can be kind and I can be cruel, but never in excess. I can be all that is needed to be to rule well and keep the various people in check so we don't descend into chaos and anarchy and the darker aspects of the world sweep across and destroy people and make the innocent suffer.

There were times in Azeroth that I destroyed entire towns, cities, and villages, but in destroying that one, I made dozens more surrender without a drop of blood being spilt. Then I took a capital city, and many fell in line to not be faced with that possibility. I break and possibly burn down one of the more horrible countries to pieces and build it back up, then others will gladly submit to spare themselves my wrath. We took Sea and Tea country, and a dozen minor countries forfeited their rights. We embarrassed Konoha and took Lightning and Water, more countries followed. I am a monster only to a certain point as I don't want the world to burn, but sometimes you have to cut off a limb to save the whole body.

I will admit that I love combat, I love a challenge, I have extreme bloodlust that I revel in, but all of that has been tempered with control, compassion, empathy, love, and a desire to have a day without death. I will never stop being a warrior, just as I know I will never stop fighting when it calls for it, but I can swear that no one innocent will suffer under my rule, I won't allow or tolerate it.

The thing you, mother, father, uncle, and some others did wrong, was that you confused peace with quiet. It's quiet and nothing is obviously going on or at least things aren't as bad as they were when at war, so you think you're at peace, but secretly people are making moves and plans to end you and those your connected to while taking advantage of whatever remains.

If it gets too much for you, grandfather, say the word and I will not send you into combat, I will not ask you to go into combat, and I will not force you to see anymore death. I understand that not everyone has the same mentality as myself and many of my warriors, and I hold no anger or resentment for any of my people that wish to stop fighting and have peace for themselves. Simply say the word, and you can be done.

Hashirama had understood his grandson, he would have done this any other way possible if he could, but the darkness and cruelty of people had spread so far and so long without being put into check that a purge was needed to save everything that hadn't succumbed. He had to be the Heroic Monster of a leader that wouldn't let anything evil and corrupt exist in his lands, and that required an army and the death of such things.

It wasn't like Hashirama couldn't understand the general plan.

With one central power to regulate things, it would destroy all the power grabbing attempts and individuals since Naruto was only going to promote those who earned it.

By fixing, curing, and helping the various problems, he cut down the need for crimes to be committed and for suffering to continue.

By killing the few that wouldn't change, he protected the many from those same people and threats that had yet to be killed.

Shed some blood so gallons don't have to be spilled.

It was a harsh pill for Hashirama to swallow, but Minato had done such a thing against Iwa in the Third War. He slaughtered hundreds of opponents with his version of the Hirashin technique to end the war faster and stop the violence, destruction, and cost that the war was bringing.

Again, it wasn't an ideal thing to do, but it was better than the alternative.

So, he had agreed to fight until the Elemental Nations were secured, then he didn't think he'd fight anymore, not unless something major happened that required it.

Naruto happily accepted and understood, no one should have to fight all their lives, but some did and did so to have purpose.

So here he was, handling something that he should have handled years ago rather than simply band-aiding it and trying to keep the… quiet as Naruto had called it.

It wasn't hard; the Druids and Grove Keepers would call forth the forces of nature to open the way for them through the trees. With the trees themselves as allies, Taki wouldn't stand for long against their strength.

With their natural defenses now turned against them, Taki was scattered and disorganized in planning a proper defense, even if some of their members drank the so called Hero Water from the great tree in the center of the village, it did little to slow the advance.

It was even worse for them since the Druids, Dryads, and Shamans were riled up into a fury, with the Treants making their displeasure known violently as well. Apparently, whatever they sensed from the center tree and surrounding area had REALLY pissed them off and were now showing that anger on all of Taki that were to be killed.

Hashirama could sense something, but had no idea what it was and assumed the others were much more attuned to hearing the voices of nature and understanding them. It made sense, some of the Druids had been alive for centuries to hear and understand the languages of nature.

Hashirama was still learning, though the Druids were impressed that he had such a connection and knowledge of nature at only 60 years of age since many Druids struggled to even hear nature within the first century, but Hashirama also had the advantage of his Sage Mode to help him make that deeper connection.

Though one theory is that all Senju could do it given Tobirama and Hisame's strong connection to water, which was the essential essence of life.

If Tsunade trained more in elemental jutsu, which Naruto theorized was Earth for her given her style of combat, then she could in theory have such a connection to nature as well.

Combine that with Jiraiya's own sage mode and Minato had a good starting point for hearing nature as well and passing that to Naruto only furthered it when combined with his own talents and genetic makeup.

Naruto's own children would possibly take it even further and further.

But that was the future and they needed to handle the present.

"Are you sure you can move this tree without problems?" Fu asked looking at the Hero Tree as Hashirama nodded.

"Yes, with both the magics of the Druids and Shamans as well as the runes and seals Naruto provided, we should be able to move it without much difficulty or risk of damaging it. Besides, Tsunade and the others studying the Hero Water could prove useful as well." Hashirama explained, making her nod.

"Tier and her trio should be at the Capital by now, so we should start wrapping up here, Naruto-kun wants this village broken down to be a sanctuary for some of the Druids to meditate in since nature is so strong here." Fu stated making Hashirama nod, though he wondered if the strength of nature would diminish, remain the same, or flourish when the center tree was moved.

Regardless, they'd finish mopping up the area before spreading out from here to take the rest of the country with Tier's forces joining up when they could.

LATER

Naruto sighed as he moved to his quarters intending to relax a bit after finishing his current campaigns. Already his forces were moving to secure and stabilize Forest, Demon, and Grass and studying the areas within that were of intrigue to his forces. His Druids were taking great care and time to replant the Hero Tree near Whirlpool since it was unhappy with its current environment and felt that Whirlpool would be an ideal location until they found a place that truly suited it.

They'd still extract the Hero Water, but Naruto would have his apothecaries, Tsunade, and other healers examine it first to see if there was a use for it without endangering the drinker.

At the very least, until they finished the study and even if the study proved fruitless, if any of his warriors were about to die, they could pop a vial of the water to boost their capabilities and maybe bring down their enemies with them.

He'd transferred the knowledge from Yomi's mind to a book for his experts to go over and hoped that it combined with other knowledge they'd gained from Lily, Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Soul Society plus the research of the Hero Water would produce results. What the results would be? It was anyone's guess, but everything had a use, you just had to figure out how to do so.

Shion and Miroku were being shown their duties and told what was expected of them, which both understood and would endeavor to serve properly.

Claudette and Shizuka were adjusting well, though Claudette had only been there about a week or so, but she seemed to be enjoying herself and Naruto promised to have a shade or two watching over her parents so they'd know what was going on there.

Kisara and Maleficent seemed to be adjusting all right, his dragonkin warriors helping in that regard since they were around those that were near their own kind at least. Of course, all of his warriors were keeping a close eye on them, just as they were still doing with his other recruits, to ensure there was no treachery in them.

They may have submitted before, but there was no guarantee that they'd stay in submission.

On other matters, they had managed to leave a few of those stone warriors in one piece for him to research and possibly figure out what made them tick. If he could replicate that with magic, chakra, or any of his energies, then he'd have more canon fodder options and he'd not have to keep so many undead drones sealed away to use nor have to worry about trying to control so many.

Vader had found a young woman named Ryuzetsu when he raided a notorious prison of Grass. He also found the warden and others were attempting to open a rather demonic box that reeked of the Dark Side to a point Vader could compare it to his old master and had sacrificed the Kage of Kusa and Daimyo of Grass along with many of their followers to do so. Vader had been the one to transport the box, one) due to not having chakra for it to eat and two) since he was able to ignore the whispers and promises from it and the Dark Side as they had nothing to tempt him with anymore.

He was already guaranteed to see Padme again, he was being repaired slowly, and he was getting stronger by the day, so what could it possibly tempt him with that he'd even remotely consider jeopardizing what he had going now?

When Vader had delivered the box, Naruto had immediately had him put it down before hitting it with Amaterasu, and was unhappy with the fact it just burned without being consumed. Naruto had then hit it with his strongest magic attack, magic not Magika, and saw that even that hadn't harmed it.

Vader, Qui-Gon, and Maul all using the Force to crush it hadn't damaged it either and none of the various weapons the entire army had could harm it.

With no recourse left, Naruto had it sealed away deep in a vault with trappings and locks of every kind around it to ensure it was never getting removed without his knowledge and planned to speak to Shinigami on it for if it could be destroyed or not.

Naruto had a theory of how to destroy it, but wasn't going to risk it without confirmation.

With that annoyance removed, he was able to hear the rest of the report, counting that Ryuzetsu was joining Whirlpool and was currently training with Jugo and the others.

Vader had given his report on his prosthetics along with comments, concerns, recommendations, and ideas for how to improve them both to lighten the load of them further and to allow for better mobility.

The Gnomes, Goblins, and Dwarves, plus some of the other races, were looking into making those improvements and fixes while also adding in some other items, flare, and mechanics to make them even better.

Right now, his forces were spreading through the new territories, adapting, fixing, checking, and modifying everything there to increase the effectiveness and defensibility. As well as improving the people, their lives, and the land itself while herding any rats, snakes, and pests that fell through the cracks towards Konoha.

Now he had just under a dozen or so countries left to claim with only three being a real factor in stabilizing his control totally over the countries.

However, that would come later as he entered his room to a very enticing sight.

Biwako, Miroku, and Haku were laying on his bed nude and had very sultry smiles upon their faces.

"Good evening, my lord." The three chorused as Naruto entered and closed the door causing the privacy seals to glow.

"I see you three decided to have your turns." Naruto stated as they nodded with Haku crawling to the end of the bed while Biwako and Miroku stood and approached Naruto.

"Indeed milord, though Biwako and I feel lady Haku should have first honors, she's waited the longest after all and is of higher status than us." Miroku stated as she and Biwako began helping Naruto out of his clothes.

"Indeed. Lady Haku is very eager, and no doubt wishes to cement her place by your side." Biwako stated as Haku blushed a bit, both from their words and Naruto's intense gaze upon her.

"Then she shall have it." Naruto stated as he approached the bed once he was stripped, making all three look at him in lust as his body was perfect to their eyes.

***********************STARTS*********************

Haku moaned lewdly as she was kissed by her beloved, the kiss alone enough to harden her nipples and cause her pussy to leak. She'd been waiting, training, and dreaming of this for quite some time and now she finally would get it.

Her moaning increased as his calloused hands began rubbing over her body, groping her breasts, ass, and pussy making her shudder and shake in desire and pleasure. She was starting to worry she'd disappoint him since if his caresses could do this to her, what would him actually fucking her do? Would she even be able to somewhat keep up with him?

Would he be disappointed if she didn't?

Would he scorn her?

Would he-

Haku steeled herself and violently crushed those fears and thoughts to fine powder.

Her love wasn't like that.

He was kind, gentle (when required or wanted), loving, caring, and sincere. He wouldn't think less of her if she couldn't match his pace, he'd understand and let her work to improve just as the other women had from their time with him. It was unfair and unrealistic to expect her to match him on her first time, even with her power and skill growing she was still essentially an insect compared to him and her stamina was nowhere near half of his.

"Mmm, master, I think it's time she gets a taste of you. Too much more, and the poor thing will be putty and unable to do anything for you." Miroku stated sensually as she saw Haku slowly succumbing to their lord's actions and turning her into a puddle of pleasured goo.

Naruto broke his kiss with Haku making her gasp as her tongue sought out his to continue the action that it was performing in her own mouth a moment ago. Naruto then pushed Haku down till she was laying on the edge of the bed looking directly at his dick, which twitched as her breath hit it.

Haku, for her part, was mesmerized by his dick. The smell, the sight, the whole thing was making her wetter and wetter the longer she looked at it. She had seen male genitals before, medical journals and such plus the occasional time she had to end a threat to Zabuza and the male thought with his lower head instead of the one that actually had a brain.

All of them paled in comparison to Naruto, whether due to his human lineage, his draconic blood, his demon blood, something else, or all of it working together, Haku didn't give a shit. She just knew that it was a beast that was designed to break, tame, pleasure, and breed women and it was going to do that to her.

But first, such a beast deserved to be worshipped, especially when connected to her lord and master.

Hence why she quickly leaned in and began licking at it, treating it nearly like an ice cream cone.

Miroku and Biwako were busy pressing their sizeable tits against Naruto's side while stroking his broad chest. "Aw, so cute when they're inexperienced." Biwako stated as she ran a hand on Haku's head.

"Indeed. Shion was much the same when I began training her with a strapon and dildos to make sure she knew how to please Lord Naruto when he eventually came for us." Miroku stated as she kissed Naruto's chest, remembering the lengthy hours that she had fucked and trained her daughter to be a proper slut slave, whore, and fucktoy for their master before even meeting him.

She did it in the bedroom, garden, bath, even the throne room with the attendants and guards present. Miroku wanted to break any sense of shame, prudishness, properness, or anything that could stand in the way of serving Naruto should he wish it. She also made sure that she knew how to please a woman since she knew Shion's place was on her knees, back, or ass up in the air ready to serve, not standing beside Naruto as a queen or mistress to other women.

Her daughter had a rather… haughty attitude before she decided to break it. Oh, she had drilled obedience and submission into her, but only to Miroku herself, the servants, attendants, and guards were treated as if they were meager insects in her presence no matter how much Miroku punished.

She quickly began theorizing that her daughter was a masochist who wanted to be disciplined and punished and treated like a lower class whore rather than a high blood priestess and princess of a country.

She'd get her wish as Miroku had basically tossed her into the proverbial snake pit by giving her to Kira and telling her that Shion needed a PROPER education on how to serve Naruto and what her place in life was.

Kira was only too happy to do so, especially since she had an unruly pet still to train and could use Shion as a test subject for a more obedient pet and to perhaps corrupt a potential sister to the fold even faster.

Miroku didn't know who that was, but wasn't going to question one of the alphas of her master's harem.

Even if it was unspoken, there were certain women among Naruto's group that just radiated and had more authority than the others, and they were the ones plucking women as their personal attendants, pets, and servants.

Kira was definitely one of those, which wasn't surprising since she was Naruto's first mate.

"Teach her then." Naruto ordered breaking Miroku from her thoughts as she and Biwako nodded and sank to their knees.

Biwako held his dick straight for Haku while Miroku pulled her closer. "Focus on the head, the glands, and following the natural arc of his dick. Change up your speed, intensity, and strength of your tongue, kissing, and sucking. Alter it on a whim and don't have a pattern or he'll just grow used to it." Miroku instructed as she showed Haku what to do before letting the younger girl go.

"Make sure to not neglect his balls either, such wonderfully plump and full things should be worshipped as well, especially when they're so full and ready to plant our master's seed in your womb." Biwako stated as she licked and sucked along his balls while enjoying the taste of him.

Haku nodded and began licking all over and sucking each testicle into her mouth before releasing it and then doing the other.

Miroku and Biwako kept Naruto ready by licking and kissing the head of his dick while she did that and stroking his length.

"Mmm, now come back up here and take him into your mouth, watch your teeth and make sure to lick every bit that enters your mouth." Biwako then instructed as Haku huffed and gasped while spit was dripping from his dick and balls.

Haku then rose up and put the head into her mouth, moaning as she did before she began licking and bobbing her head.

"There we go, that's such a good girl. Pleasing her master's dick like the little slut she is." Miroku cooed in a motherly fashion as she stroked Haku's head.

"Indeed, work it more and more into your mouth, the goal is to get your nose into his pubic hair while his entire cock is down your throat. Even if you can't get it today, your job is to get it as far down as you can and keep pleasuring him no matter what. You're not a kunoichi, a clan member, a respected soldier, or even the surrogate daughter of a prominent figure, you're just a slut and three holes for him to fuck and use for his pleasure while like this. Unless our master wishes otherwise, his pleasure always comes first and your duty is to be his fucktoy and cumdump for as many uses as he wishes to have of you each night." Biwako informed playing with Haku's ass now while Miroku was playing with her tits.

Haku merely moaned more and began working his dick deeper and deeper into her throat. However, she was only able to get about halfway before she sputtered and came up for air gasping while strings of saliva connected her to his dick.

"Not bad, but you can do better." Miroku stated before she pulled Haku into a kiss and began tongue raping her mouth and throat making Haku scream in surprise especially when Miroku began ramming her fingers into Haku's pussy.

Biwako, meanwhile, quickly began greedily sucking on Naruto's dick and bobbing her head rapidly enough that her tits were bouncing against her chest. She also had a hand massaging his balls and the bit of shaft she couldn't get down her throat yet.

"See that, little whore, see how she cares not for her own discomfort or anything else like image or looking like a sex-starved bitch in heat? That's what it means to be a whore, fucktoy, and sex slave for our master. She'd gladly do this in the throne room while he holds court with all of his advisors and generals without any shame, focusing solely on his pleasure because it gives her pleasure to know that she pleases him in such a way. Her sole purpose and desire is to service his dick and give him pleasure." Miroku stated as she made Haku watch, intently, as Biwako serviced Naruto and Miroku made sure to keep fingering Haku's cunt with her fingers making sure it was nice and lubricated and loose for him to ram his dick into when he was ready.

Haku could only stare intently as she panted and gasped from the pleasure running through her. Biwako sucked their lord's cock like she was desperate for water and this was the only way for her to get a drink in the desert. Already, spit and throat slime was leaking down her chin and onto her rather pronounced chest, between the globes of flesh she called breasts, down her taught stomach, and into her pubic hair where it further slid onto her pussy and dripped onto the floor beneath her.

The whole time her hands were working to give pleasure to any spot her mouth, throat, and tongue weren't.

"You didn't seriously think it was going to be as simple as putting it in your mouth and lick a bit, did you? There's multiple methods and means of servicing our master and you're going to learn them all. Maybe not tonight, but soon, whether from us or Lady Kira, doesn't matter, you WILL learn how to be a proper cum receptacle for Lord Naruto. You'll spread your legs, drop to your knees, offer your tits, and spread your ass for him at any hint that he wishes that action to happen and will let him ravage you again and again as he impregnates you and has you carry his child as many times as he wants." Miroku informed as she drew Haku back into a kiss and kept eagerly tonguing every centimeter of her mouth while fingering her rapidly.

Biwako was now eagerly sucking on Naruto's balls while rapidly stroking his dick, not caring at all for the spit that splattered on her face. She knew he was approaching his first release; his balls were tensing and his dick was pulsing and twitching quite a bit.

"He's ready, get her over here." Biwako stated as she released him from her mouth and kept stroking his dick to keep him primed.

Miroku broke the kiss and dragged Haku over before facing her at Naruto's dick just before it erupted all over her making her moan and gasp, thereby letting some fill her mouth.

"That's a good girl, swallow as much as you can." Biwako cooed as she licked Haku's face and Miroku licked her chest. "Now, it's time for him to claim you." She added as she pushed Haku onto the bed and spread her legs, making her blush as her pussy was dripping.

Naruto moved forward and lined himself up before pushing in steadily, but slowly. Just because she had broken her hymen through training didn't mean she couldn't feel a great deal of pain from having her first time.

However, he was a tad surprised when she suddenly screamed in pleasure and her pussy spasmed and sprayed his crotch indicating she came just from his insertion.

"Oh my, seems she's very sensitive." Miroku said with both surprise and amusement in her tone.

"Indeed, but it's to be expected since she's desired this for quite some time." Biwako replied as she gazed lustfully at the sight of her lord claiming the young woman before her.

Said sight was such a thrill to her, Hiruzen wasn't a bad lover, but he wasn't nearly as skilled as Naruto was showing nor did he have his stamina, size, or girth. The sight of her master being so skilled and ready to breed women, even though she knew he wasn't intentionally trying to breed them but it could still happen, was sending pleasurable waves through her body. The knowledge that soon she'd be the one screaming in pleasure as her lord claimed her, as was his right.

Her pussy was gushing just thinking about it.

Haku was a moaning, shivering mess as Naruto moved inside her sending pleasurable waves through her that she never felt before. Kira came close during their "playtime" but it wasn't as strong or as intense as this and he wasn't even trying to do anything yet.

Miroku and Biwako watched intently as Naruto began moving around in Haku's pussy while steadily increasing his speed and intensity, but then he'd slow and change that intensity and kept shifting, making it hard for Haku to try and adapt to the sensations and feelings going through her. He was ensuring maximum pleasure without her body being able to adjust and thereby lower the pleasure slightly.

In essence, if she wasn't already devoted to him, he'd be ruining her for other men.

"FUCK!" Haku screamed in pleasure as Naruto continued fucking her, making her orgasm again and again as she was trying hard to wrap her legs around him and keep them there while her nails dug into and tore at the sheets from the death grip she had.

Her breasts bounced in rhythm with his thrusts while his balls slapped her pale ass cheeks over and over as his dick plundered her womb over and over again.

She was surprised she hadn't passed out yet as her tongue was already hanging out of her mouth from the pleasure and her mind was pretty much mush except for her repeating that she loved him and was happy to serve him.

What she didn't know was that Naruto was circulating his chakra through her just enough to keep her conscious since he wasn't going to have her pass out until he gave her his full shot.

It was getting there, slowly but surely, he had orgasmed once already so his next one needed more work.

Still, that was plenty of time to give Haku plenty of pleasure and her own orgasms until he reached his, though Haku would have to work on her stamina since she wouldn't get nearly as much fun if she kept like this.

So, for the next 20 or so minutes, Naruto kept fucking and pleasuring Haku, even adding his hands by caressing, groping, pinching, and squeezing her breasts. Eventually, she was nearly incoherent and couldn't articulate anything beyond moans and screams of appreciation.

It only got worse as Naruto began to speed up and then the pleasure climaxed, no pun intended, when Naruto reached his end and came making Haku squeal in pleasure and came harder than she had the entire session before she slumped on the bed and Naruto withdrew from her slowly.

"You really rocked her world, sire." Miroku stated as she looked at the passed out Haku as her pussy leaked out Naruto's cum.

"Indeed." Biwako agreed, her tone lustful and desiring as she saw that Naruto's dick hadn't deflated at all.

"Now it's both of your turns, suck." He ordered pulling both their heads to his dick and both eagerly began to kiss, lick, and suck on his dick and balls.

Both were eager to show their master why they were meant to be his devoted slaves and breeding toys.

***********************END********************

MEANWHILE

Vader knelt in a sanctum that Naruto had prepared for him, still covered in his suit, though it was more for his own shame and security than necessity as he had just finished another healing treatment and now could breathe on his own and see with his own eyes if he so desired. The reason for him being in that room was because it was time for him to have a meeting, one that he had both dreaded and anticipated since he came into Naruto's service.

"Anni." A voice, full of warmth, love, and affection, that soothed his heart yet made it clench up in pain.

The voice of his angel and goddess, Padme Amidala.

"Padme." Vader stated, his voice being filled with sorrow, relief, devotion, and love even through his modulator. "Words cannot express how happy I am to see you again." Vader stated and Padme smiled softly.

"I don't see you anywhere, I see only the prison that held half of you. I see the monster that was meant to be unleashed on your enemies and those that deserved pain and death, but that is only part you, Anni. Like Qui-Gon, I do not blame you for what happened, while it was unfortunate and sad, the fault primarily lies with Palpatine, the Jedi, and Obi-Wan. I have long since forgiven anything you've done and I still love you." Padme stated as Vader looked up at her.

"I have only dreamed, that I would hear you say that." Vader stated as he looked at her, and Padme didn't need the Force to tell her he was happy beyond words. "However, I wish to wait to see you outside of this mask until I am more whole. The process that Lord Naruto has been doing to me has let me heal bit by bit, but I did not wish to be fully healed until after I saw you again." Vader stated and Padme smiled at him as she placed her hand on his mask and Vader swore that he could feel her hand upon his face like he did when they were both so happy.

"I won't judge you, Anni, I want to see you desperately, but if you would prefer that, I will accept and respect your wishes. All I ask is that if you can, have Lord Naruto start healing you more so I can see you again." She requested as Vader placed his hand over hers.

"I will, and then I'll begin working to further thank him and his god for this gift." Vader stated, knowing that his love hated war and violence when peace and diplomacy could be used, but from what he had seen, heard, and sensed of Konoha, there was no peace so long as it and those like it existed.

"I know, Lord Shinigami showed me much. I will help Lord Naruto with the other countries, but Konoha must be destroyed." Padme stated knowing that there was no hope or choice in the matter. Konoha would just be a cancer that would make things worse and worse unless it was destroyed, she'd just try to help minimize the damage to the other countries that didn't have such problems.

"Agreed. Some of their actions make the Hutts look like decent people. However, they shall not last long against him, especially not with my help being factored in as well." Vader stated as Padme nodded and smiled at him, both knowing that he could truly give his all now.

He would fight the enemies against them.

He would train Naruto, Maul, Qui-Gon, and he didn't care who else in anything and everything he knew.

He would lead armies and crush all in his way.

But most of all, he would love Padme and prove himself worthy of her love and forgiveness every day of his life.

May the Force have mercy on his new Lord's enemies, because Vader and Anakin both would not.

DONE!

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter, we only got five more actual chapters and an epilogue left and this fic is over. Next time, Shinigami has another other world task for Naruto and this time he's going to save a future king and his brother from a corrupt government.
