After a tasty lunch at Ichiraku Ramen, where Naruto walked away feeling like he could really get along with Kiba and Shino outside the Academy now, Naruto and Hinata walked hand-in-hand on a little stroll through the village.
*Only a thousand calories a day, I don't understand how Sakura managed to even pass the physical portions of the Graduation Exam,* Hinata shook her head. *And she said she was copying Ino's example in trying to stay 'skinny' to try and draw Sasuke's eye. That's just sad.*
*Well, at least Sakura saw the light after Sasuke bitch-slapped her with the truth about what he's into. Though I still think there's something 'off' about her, those mood swings were no joke,* Naruto thought back to his wife. *While I'm thinking about it, I need to stop by the hospital for my daily donation. And the thought of you in the other room while I cum into a cup is just too sad. Want to split up? You can stop by the Shinobi Library for more books.*
*Sure, I'll run home to grab the old ones from yesterday. You sure you have the energy for another 20 Changes today, though? You'll only be addressing the most pressing issues, but you spent a lot of chakra this morning,* Hinata checked with concern.
*Ah, but I now have 20 extra 'batteries' from yesterday to borrow from. Plus Hiruzen-aniki, he's more like a 'generator' and he's just in his office all day. I should be fine,* Naruto assured the former Hyuuga.
They kissed and parted ways. Naruto went to the hospital. The receptionist was a bit of a bitch, likely having an issue with his Jinchuuriki status, but he gave the right code and she waved him through to the research section of the hospital. Naruto met up with the reproductive specialist who'd been charged with caretaking all his donated sperm. Using some of Hinata's 'daydreams' she'd taunted him with earlier in the morning (and who knew such a shy girl could have such a dirty imagination!), he managed to get a working erection and stroked himself to orgasm. Aiming the full 4 pints into the oversized glass beaker, Naruto carefully came out of the bathroom and handed it over once he was finished.
"I observed this Change in real-time yesterday with each volunteer. The curative effects of these proteins are astounding. And it is also my understanding that you shouldered the chakra cost personally even from a distance. This isn't the only sex-based Bloodline Limit in the world, but it is easily the most fascinating I've ever had the chance to study, Uzumaki-san!" the good doctor gushed as he finished carefully placing the beaker in an artificial warmer set to the ideal temperature for preserving semen in the short-term. "Why, even your bulbourethral glands' secretions are unique!"
"My what?" Naruto blinked
"Your 'precum', to use the vernacular. Tomorrow or at some later date, we really must collect a few vials' worth of it for some experiments. The anesthetic/muscle relaxant properties are quite intriguing to my medical mind," the doctor grinned, in a slightly disturbing way if Naruto was being honest.
"Sure thing," Naruto agreed. "Um, sorry, I'm terrible with names. Who are you, again?"
"Ah, no worries, it's an unusual name. I am Dr. Franken Stein. I'm actually an immigrant from far to the West. I made a bit of a name for myself during the Third Shinobi War on the battlefield. Having had my fill of death, I turned my focus to life and studied reproductive medicine. In the interest of full disclosure, you should know I was unwittingly one of the doctors Orochimaru 'delegated' certain experiments to. But I passed inspection by a Yamanaka and every other psych eval, and I was allowed to return to my work. Though I'm something of a black sheep amongst the staff here now. Guilty by association, I'm sure you of all people would understand… oh, was that too 'frank'? In my own defense, it's in my name!" Dr. Stein gave a classic 'mad scientist' laugh at his own joke.
Naruto touched the Mind Rune and opened a mental link with Hiruzen. *Hiruzen-aniki, is this Dr. Stein guy sane?* he asked with Telepathy point-blank.
*He's not insane, let's leave it at that. He's loyal to the village and he does good work, whatever his personal idiosyncrasies,* Hiruzen replied back, not even blinking at suddenly hearing Naruto's voice in his head.
*Fine, but the fact this guy plays with my cum just got a whole lot more creepy,* Naruto grumbled before closing the link.
Naruto left Dr. Stein to send out summons to the next 20 volunteers Hiruzen had approached and confirmed were willing to become Wards. He was on his way back towards his apartment when he stopped to sigh. "Konohamaru, you have the camouflage sideways."
The patch of fencing that rather obviously was horizontal instead of vertical fell down as his self-proclaimed 'rival' dropped the camouflage sheet he'd been holding up. "As expected of the man I call my rival! Let's fi–" The 15 year old tripped over the very sheet he'd been using to faceplant on the ground.
Naruto sighed. "It wasn't even your scarf this time. You need to watch your feet more, Konohamaru."
"You're as competent as I expected you to be!" Konohamaru said, getting back up and dusting himself off. Then he seemed to see Naruto and his radically different build than he'd had when they first met last week. "What the hell?! How'd you get so manly so fast? Is it because you're a real ninja now?!"
"New Bloodline Limit. You can ask your grandpa for the details." And wasn't that a headtrip. Hiruzen was Konohamaru's grandfather, yet he was effectively young enough to be the boy's big brother now. "Anyway, did you want something?"
"Whoa, you got a Bloodline Limit? As befitting my competitor for the rank of Hokage! Now either teach me another cool Jutsu or let's have a fair fight!" Konohamaru demanded. He really was a bit of a spoiled brat, though Naruto had at least begun the process of pulling the boy's head out his own ass.
"There's no such thing as a 'fair' fight between ninjas, Konohamaru. Remember that. And I've already won," Naruto smirked.
"What do you– hey!" Konohamaru yelped as the Shadow Clone Naruto had made while he was face-down grabbed him and put him in a noogie.
Naruto chuckled, before he ducked. "You're not a mouth breather, Anko-chan. Why you going easy on me today?" he asked, looking up at the Special Jonin who'd just tried to put him in a noogie.
"Just checking whether you're COMPLETELY unobservant of your surroundings, Brat," the violet-haired kunoichi chuckled. "And you still lose points, you didn't realize I was there until I was in arm's reach anyway. One day, it's going to be someone who likes you a lot less than I do sneaking up on you." Advice given, she took a bite of her dango. Least it wasn't overproof alcohol, that was another of her vices.
Konohamaru managed to pop the Shadow Clone with an accidental back-kick to the groin. Naruto winced at the memory feedback. Konohamaru got his breath back and his jaw dropped when he saw Anko. "Holy… pretty lady. Who's the pretty lady?"
"Shotacon ain't my thing, kid. Never gonna happen, but feel free to stroke your tiny dick thinking of me," Anko said loftily.
"Konohamaru Sarutobi, Anko Mitarashi. She's a friend of mine, he's the Hokage's grandson who follows me around like a baby duck," Naruto made the introductions as he stood back up.
Konohamaru had gotten red at the 'tiny dick' comment, and it transitioned more into a blush. "Um, Naruto, is she your…" He held out his pinky. "Y'know, that kind of friend?"
"He wishes. We even have his wife's blessing if he ever becomes a man I respect enough to let do me," Anko shrugged, blunt as always.
"WIFE?!" Konohamaru squeaked. He'd probably deny it was a much manlier sound, but it was a squeak.
"Oh, yeah, I have a wife now. We got married the day after you and I met. Want to meet her? I was headed home anyway," Naruto offered his… well, he imagined this is what it felt like to have a little brother. A mix of fondness and annoyance. If this is how Iruka felt towards him, he suddenly had much more respect for the Chunin for handling it so well.
"Yeah, I wanna meet her! I have to see how cool she is so I know to make sure my wife is even better someday!" Konohamaru declared.
"You coming, Anko-chan?" Naruto checked with his second Ward.
"Sure, why not? But we need to stop by the liquor store if you expect me not to burn the place down from sheer boredom," Anko shrugged. The scary part was she meant it.
A quick stop at a corner store, where Anko got some type of clear grain alcohol that was over 150 proof in a worryingly large bottle, and then they made it to Naruto's apartment building. *Are you decent?* Naruto felt the need to check once they reached his floor.
*Konohamaru is a minor, what do you think?* Hinata thought back a bit sharply.
*Right, right, that was rude. I'll make it up to you once they leave,* Naruto promised. He unlocked his door and let the three of them into the small studio. "I'm home! With company!"
"Welcome back!" Hinata said, looking up from reading on the couch. "I made cookies, they should be cool enough to eat by now." She focused on the stock-still Konohamaru. "Oh, you must be Konohamaru! Naruto-kun's told me all about you!"
Konohamaru's face turned scarlet and he developed a rather bad nosebleed. "I-I-I gotta use the bathroom!" He sprinted to the corner and slammed the door behind him.
"100 ryo says he's jerking off to your wifey, Brat," Anko purred with sadistic glee as she went to scarf down one of the still-warm cookies. "Hmm, strawberry mochi!"
"Take it from a guy who was a horny virgin not too long ago: it's a compliment," Naruto said to Hinata, who was looking askance at the bathroom door.
"I suppose, but in our own home? Couldn't he have saved it up until he was back at his own house?" Hinata huffed before going back to her book.
Naruto checked the title. "The Mystical Palm Jutsu: a History of Healing Hands. Someone wrote 300+ pages all on one Jutsu?"
"And they don't even teach you the hand seals, it's all theory and famous examples of when it was used," Hinata answered. "It's A-rank and very versatile, though. It costs about as much as one Shadow Clone for a single second, from what I can tell, and requires even more precision than the standard Gentle Fist technique. But if you do it right, it speeds up the subject's natural healing process in the area localized to the Jutsu's effects. Bruises, cuts, breaks; all would heal in seconds, not days. There's a whole section of one chapter about how Tsunade Senju can use it with both hands to heal two injuries at once."
"Whatever happened to her? She doesn't live in the village anymore, I know that much. She couldn't have gone Missing-Nin, right?" Naruto asked, going to get a cookie himself.
"She's perhaps the most famous case of celebrity privilege in living memory," Anko spoke before Hinata could. "She's the First Hokage's granddaughter and the Third's former Genin student. She saved more lives than penicillin during the Third Shinobi War. But after her little brother and then fiance both got killed during the War, she got bitter and gave up. She walked right out the village gates; didn't even officially retire, just pulled up stakes and fucked off with the bird thrown behind her. Technically she's AWOL and should be a Missing-Nin, but Hokage-sama has a soft spot for her so he lets her get away with it. Last I heard she's in gambling debt up to her eyeballs, drinks worse than I do, and sleeps with anything that moves once she's tipsy. She's an embarrassment, but she's an S-rank embarrassment so no one has the guts to fuck with her or try and bring her in. Least she hasn't defected to another Hidden Village, I guess."
"Isn't she, like, mid-50s? Not that maturity can't be sexy or I'm cougar-shaming, but still," Naruto wondered.
"You're on thin ice, Brat, but you have a point. Thing is, she uses a Seal-based Genjutsu to look half her age. She'd look like my little sister instead of my mother if you saw her in person," Anko said, cracking the seal on her firewater.
"Sealing Jutsu, man, that stuff can do anything," Naruto breathed. While it was on his mind, he made a Shadow Clone. "Bring back the old books, pick up new ones."
"Yes, Boss!" The Clone-Naruto gathered the already-read texts from the last trip to the Shinobi Library and went out the door.
Konohamaru came out of the bathroom, looking like he was walking to the gallows. "Yeah… can we all pretend that didn't just happen?"
"I don't care enough to tease you about it," Anko said after a sip of her spirits.
"Sure, Konohamaru-kun. But I sure hope you cleaned up after yourself," Hinata said with warmth and yet a hint of scolding.
"Moving on," Naruto said, having mercy on the poor kid. He was 15, the hormones were even more raging than they were for him and Hinata. "So yeah, this is our home. Be brutal, I can take it."
"Either I'm a lot luckier than I thought or you are a real ryo-pincher, Naruto," Konohamaru said, looking at the rather cramped space. "I'm not bragging, but my parents' master bedroom is bigger than this whole place."
"What do they do, by the way?" Naruto asked, going to brew a pot of coffee. Hinata preferred tea, and he was learning to like it for her sake, but he hadn't had a good cup of joe in a week and he felt like treating himself.
"They're both Jonin. I'm not supposed to know they're both ANBU Captains, but they throw the uniforms in with all the normal laundry and hang the masks in the front closet so they're not trying too hard to hide it. Mom's more the kind to go on Hunter-nin Missions while Dad handles the village patrols and counterintel. They love me, I don't want to seem like an ungrateful shit, but I saw more of my babysitters and Uncle Asuma than I did of them growing up. Maybe that's part of why I did all those attempted assassinations of Grandpa, I just wanted them to scold me and pay attention to me," Konohamaru laid out, tone getting more reflective the further he got.
"What is this, a civilian talk-show?" Anko snorted, rather ruining the moment.
"Give him a break," Naruto snapped. He understood only too well the need to act out to get people to notice you. "That sounds rough, Konohamaru."
"Yeah, but I just realized I'm complaining about my parents to an orphan. Wow, that sure makes me Mr. Sensitive," Konohamaru said, scratching the back of his head in a rather familiar way to Naruto.
"The pain of having no parents and the pain of having a bad parent do not invalidate each other," Hinata said with a certain wisdom, thinking of her own situation. "Your pain is your pain, Konohamaru-kun. And it's the duty of friends to help each other carry their burdens. This is a safe space, feel free to talk about whatever weighs on your heart."
Konohamaru was blushing again. "Um, I don't mean this to sound as weird as I know it's going to come out, but you wouldn't happen to have a little sister around my age, would you?"
Hinata's expression waned. "As a matter of fact, I do. You might even have a shot with her via a political betrothal. As of my banishment, she's the Clan Heiress of the Hyuuga Clan. And you're a 'pureblood' Sarutobi with an impressive pedigree."
"You got banished?! WHY?!" Konohamaru gasped.
"Because of me," Naruto said, mood most certainly turned sour at the reminder of all his wife had lost just to be with him.
"Because of us, Naruto-kun," Hinata corrected with a weight to her words. "It was as much my decision as yours to become your Ward." She refocused on Konohamaru. "For context, Konohamaru-kun, Naruto-kun's 'Progenitor' Bloodline Limit involves altering the DNA of a volunteer. My Father deemed me giving an outsider access to my DNA a crime against the Clan and stripped me of my name the next day. Also why Naruto-kun and I got married so fast, our wedding happened mere hours after I was cast out. Honestly, a good part of the reason I asked for it was so I could have comfort sex. Also because I loved him and I needed a place to stay… I'm making it sound worse with each sentence, aren't I?"
"Kinda, yeah, Girly," Anko snorted, tickled pink at the look on Hinata's face.
Naruto walked over and pulled Hinata into a hug and warm kiss. "We rushed the whole thing, but it was what was right for us. That's all that matters, honey. I love you and I love every day I get to call you my wife."
"Love you too, handsome," Hinata beamed up at him.
"I'm so jealous but also so happy that Naruto got a girl like you," Konohamaru said with an honest grin. "And hey, when you're the co-Hokage's wife, that'll show your dumb dad!"
"Co-Hokage? Pretty sure we can't share the hat, Konohamaru," Naruto chuckled.
They chatted for a couple hours, during the course of which Naruto felt 20 new Connections form and used the Change to fix any glaring health problems. Around 3:00, Konohamaru said goodbye and headed back to his place. Anko, not even walking funny after emptying the bottle, waved and then jumped out the window. At least she opened it first.
*Now, there was something about making up for your rude question once we were alone?* Hinata projected
*Whatever you want, however you want it,* Naruto promised, feeling his loins start to stir as they sensed they were about to get used.
*We've danced around it, but we've yet to actually do it. That's a crime. One Gangbang Jutsu, please,* Hinata projected with a smile of sin on her angel's face.
Naruto groaned in raw lust. *I thought this was supposed to be my gift to you,* he joked, even as he made the right hand seal. With an application of chakra, Naruto cast the Shadow Clone Jutsu. A good 5 copies appeared. *Crap, too many,* he winced at the proof of his still piss-poor chakra control.
*Says who?* Hinata raised a brow.
*Um, honey, I only need 2 plus myself to fill all your holes,* Naruto pointed out in confusion.
*Perhaps I wasn't clear. I want to be overwhelmed with male attention. I want to drown in your sex, Naruto-kun. I want to feel like a broken, used up toy by the time all of you are done with me. Yes, I have 3 holes. I also have two hands and a pair of tits. If you'd made more, they could use my feet or hair or we could test just how stretchy each hole really is. Now gangbang me, husband dearest,* Hinata laid out, standing and starting to strip in a dazzling display of carnal abandon.
Naruto and his Clones all ripped themselves out of their own clothing. By the time she'd unhooked her bra, he just couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed her, kissed her, ripped off her panties and lifted her up to impale her on his aching cock. She all but sang for him as he sank to the last inch, the gravity of their position helping her sink down to his balls. Naruto walked them over to their bed, every step a pseudo-thrust, then he fell back to land on the mattress. The bounce as they landed provoked a lovely gasp from his wife.
Their personal little bubble, just the two of them joined together as man and woman, was breached by the 5 Shadow Clones all joining them. It would have felt crowded and awkward, except it was all Naruto. It felt like the most natural thing in the world for the original to see Hinata open her mouth to accept 'his' cock down her throat. Then there was a tickling on his quad as 'he' got into position doggy-style behind Hinata and their massive testicles brushed each other. A little fingering, probably too rushed in the heat of the moment, and then a third leaking Progenitor cock was accepted into Hinata's receptive flesh. Naruto, the 'real' one, moaned at the unique feeling of having his cock buried up to Hinata's womb and the neighboring tunnel being stretched wide by his substantial endowment simultaneously. And that wasn't 'gay' or threatening to his masculinity, this was just him in 2 places at once, giving his wife exactly what she'd asked for.
When Hinata had been stuffed and made airtight, that still was only the halfway point. Naruto felt the bed dip, the frame giving an alarming sound but he was past caring as soon as he felt Hinata twitch and contract around all of him again. Two of Naruto each grabbed a heavy tit and began to brush the nipple with their crowns, Hinata's hands coming up to stroke the pillars of male lust. The last, for his own reasons, turned into Naruko. Then 'she' dipped one hand between her own legs and the other, made slick with saliva from her panting mouth, wriggled through all the tangled limbs to touch Hinata's exposed clitoris. "I'll focus on getting Hinata-chan off. The rest of you, fuck this bitch," Naruto's genderbend moaned in an obscene tone to fit her obscene words.
*YES!* Hinata moaned both in body and in mind.
Naruto would like to say that he and his Shadow Clones moved in perfect sync and flawless rhythm to play Hinata's body like an instrument. And maybe one day, they could work up to that. But in the state they were all in, he basically grabbed onto her hips for leverage and started to rut into her like a dog in heat. If any of the rest of 'him' couldn't match his pace, that was their problem. Sounds of slapping flesh and muffled feminine cries and masculine grunting filled the room. The smell alone was enough to make a nun break her vows, it was so potent and thick with sex. Any concern that Hinata didn't enjoy it was swept aside by her first earth-shattering climax that seemed to just go on and on, a new crest crashing just as the last one began to recede.
If Naruto managed to sync up his own release with all his Clones, that was only because his Progenitor climax lasted a minute and there was plenty of overlap. He couldn't even recall in the mess of memories afterwards who came first. All he knew was that by the time he could see straight again in his 'real' body, Hinata was so swollen with cum her belly button had popped out and he just might not be able to make his hands meet if he hugged her from behind. She looked utterly wrecked, smeared with cum from the two tit/handjob Clones who had painted her with their loads from head to toe. Her jaw was slack, her tongue hanging out. She looked like she had a fever, she was so flushed, and her eyes were glassy and tear-filled. He'd have been worried if it wasn't for the sheer bliss radiating through the Connection.
The Clones all got off the bed and lined up in ranks to the side. "Thanks for the fun, Boss and Lady Boss!" one saluted. Then they all popped.
Were Naruto not physically incapable of getting hard again so soon after a ball-busting orgasm, he'd have started a second round the next second. The sensory feedback from all the different perspectives of the gangbang hit him like a drug. As it was, the spirit was more than willing but the flesh was soft and spongy. Besides, any more sex and Hinata might just snap. So Naruto breathed through the heat in his blood until he had managed to calm down.
He had to use a surprising amount of muscle to lift Hinata up and off his diminished prick. Then he had to carry her insensate body to the bathroom. He laid her down as gently as he could, propping her up in the corner of the shower stall. Turning on the spray and setting it to a decently warm temperature, Naruto gently soaped up a washcloth and started to clean up his cum-covered wife. As she just sat there and let him cleanse her skin, the loads in her womb and ass started to steadily leak out. The thick semen actually clogged up the drain, and Naruto needed to stop to fetch drain cleaner more than once. But even though it took the better part of an hour, Naruto managed to get Hinata squeaky clean after their rather filthy act.
"Honey? You with me?" Naruto asked softly once he'd turned off the shower and she still hadn't moved.
"... Be careful what you wish for. Maybe we should have started with just double penetration. That was amazing, but I wasn't ready for it," Hinata finally said in a hoarse voice.
"Well, lesson learned. Crawl before we walk before we run," Naruto shrugged.
"Probably shouldn't go through with that Hinata Harem Jutsu thing I was planning to pull on you either," Hinata managed a weak chuckle. "Let's just start with me and my 'identical twin sister' when we feel like we're up for it."
"Probably not later tonight. You seem pretty out of it," Naruto said as gently as possible. "Ready to stand up?"
Shaky as a newborn colt, Hinata managed to get upright. Her belly was still swollen, but it was with a half-digested load in her stomach rather than the massive sphere after she'd gotten 3 full loads at once. They dried themselves off and were just putting the towels in the hamper when there was a knock on the front door.
"Who could that be?" Naruto huffed.
"Wrap your waist and go see. I need to comb out my hair before it dries all tangled," Hinata said, getting more coherent the longer she was up.
Naruto made himself half-decent with a towel wrapped and tucked to his hips. He went over to the door, where there was a second round of knocking. He checked the peephole and blinked. He opened the door and showed only his head through the opening the chain allowed. "Tenten-chan? What brings you here?"
"Hey, Naruto," Tenten nodded in greeting. "Can I come in? I kinda need to talk to you and Hinata."
"Sure, sure thing!" Naruto closed the door to unlock the chain and then opened it wide to allow the kunoichi he and Hinata were both 'dating' to come in.
Tenten blinked and then actually started to drool when confronted with the sight of his naked torso. "You guys plan to flash me when I come over or am I just lucky?" she managed even as a small trickle of blood started to drip from her nostril.
"Pure coincidence," Naruto chuckled. "Come in, please, there's a draft."
Tenten slipped past him, perhaps a bit closer than strictly necessary given the available room. Naruto closed the door behind her and turned to regard the slightly older Genin. When they first met, she'd been working at Higurashi's and in a shopgirl uniform. Their second meeting, she'd been all dressed up for their first date. Today she seemed to be in her everyday kunoichi uniform. Her hair was tied up in panda buns again, a little fringe over her ninja headband tied to her forehead in the traditional position. She wore a pink, sleeveless qipao-style blouse, dark green combat pants, and standard shinobi sandals. He noted a higher than average number of kunai and shuriken holsters strapped to her belt and thighs. Which made sense, since she was a budding weapons specialist. That was why she worked part-time at Higurashi's, for the employee discount to help her afford so many sharp, pointy things.
Tenten looked around the apartment, this time lit with afternoon sunlight as opposed to the last time. She paused and seemed to take a deep sniff. "Little piece of advice, either air out the place or invest in scented candles. This whole room smells like a monkey cage."
"You caught me and Hinata right after we got 'busy', but noted," Naruto chuckled. "I'll just go get dressed."
"Why? Am I making you uncomfortable? You aren't bothering me with all those yummy muscles on display," Tenten smirked, rather obviously raking him from head to toe again.
Naruto had had enough time to physically recharge, and the simmering surge of lust from his Clones' memories was still lingering under the surface. "Tenten-chan, don't poke the dragon. Or else I'll forget why I shouldn't force the imprint on you and make you mine forever," Naruto drawled from deep in his chest. His 'third leg' twitched and started to form a 'small' tent in his towel.
Tenten gulped, eyes rather obviously dipping down to appraise the rising patch of cloth. "R-right… you can go get dressed, then. I'm still on the fence and I don't want to lock myself down just because I got hypnotized by a really… really nice body…"
"Have it your way," Naruto chuckled, turning and going to his closet. He opened the door as a makeshift screen and got dressed in proper boxers, pants, and a mesh undershirt. He stepped out and saw Tenten rather obviously looking away from peeking. "Can I get you anything?" Naruto checked, figuring he should be a good host. "Hinata-chan made strawberry mochi cookies, there should still be a few left."
"Oh, sweet. I'll take beer if you have any, or any kind of juice," Tenten said, gravitating towards the platter where a few cookies had survived Konohamaru and Anko's munchies. Hinata came out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around her head and leaving her body on full display. "Now you're just taunting me," Tenten whined when she caught sight of the former Hyuuga.
"I want you, Naruto-kun wants you, you want both of us. The only thing in our way are your own commitment issues. Consider this a free sample of what you could see every day if you decide to become Tenten Uzumaki," Hinata said, flashing a smirk in Tenten's direction before going to get dressed. "Naruto-kun, I think we should hit up a civilian clothing store. We're going through ninja outfits pretty fast."
"Rent's due next week and we're running low on groceries, but we should be able to cut it," Naruto agreed, calculating costs in his head. "Besides, we're starting Missions soon and that's money right in our pockets."
"Hate to break it to you, but D-ranks after the tax and split between 4 people are usually less than 500 ryo. They're glorified chores," Tenten offered her insight after a year of active duty. "That's assuming you rely on just the Missions your Jonin-sensei has you all do as a Team, though. You can take Missions matching your clearance level solo on your own time, but then you have to do ALL the work yourself."
"Well, Naruto-kun happens to be able to make dozens of free laborers on a whim," Hinata hummed in thought even as she slipped on her short-shorts under her battle dress, her next to last clean set. "Unless there's an actual law against taking on more than one Mission at a time or using corporeal Clones to do them without supervision, we could end up doing 2 or 3 D-ranks a day on top of whatever we do with our Teams."
"Beauty and brains, there are no gods," Tenten playfully grumbled. "And I asked Gai-sensei about Shadow Clones, they're actually one of the Hidden Leaf's Forbidden Jutsu since the chakra cost is so high. Yet Naruto makes them look easy. Does all that chakra translate to other kinds of 'stamina', I wonder?"
"Someone's got something on their mind," Naruto chuckled, placing a cup of OJ in front of his… girlfriend? He was married and yet they were both dating her… wow, he had a wife and a girlfriend. What a life he was living.
"I've been randy ever since I woke up from my first 'dose' two days ago. Must be the Change, or else Hinata's just that good," Tenten said without shame. "On that subject, if we're going to date, I'm afraid there's a teeny-tiny complication."
"What is it? I thought you weren't in a relationship or anything," Hinata asked, coming over. Naruto handed her her own cup of her personalized blend of iced tea they kept in a pitcher in the fridge.
"Not the way you're thinking. I'm a Nine-Tails orphan," Tenten said, at the wrong angle to see Naruto flinch on hearing that piece of information. "Sure, I'm 19 and living alone and all that fun stuff, but Gai-sensei is one of the good ones and he tries to act as my father figure. After the lecture over me being late to training was over, he wanted to know the reason I was late in the first place. I mentioned I had a bit too much to 'drink' on a date and now he's in protective papa bear mode. He's insisting he meet you two so he can assess whether or not your intentions for me are 'youthful' or not. And of course Lee got swept along with him. So I'm actually here to see whether you're up to come to the weekly Team Gai dinner at Chang's Curry tonight."
"Isn't it a tad early to introduce us to your 'family'?" Naruto chuckled. "I mean, I'm up for it. My intentions for you are pure as fresh snow. I can't speak for Hinata-chan, though."
"Right, because planning to fuck her so hard you bruise her womb while I sit on her face is so pure," Hinata snarked, ignoring how Tenten gave a little perverted giggle as the idea was processed. Hinata took a deep breath, visibly girding herself. "Will Neji be there?" she asked Tenten.
Naruto winced. Oh right, Tenten's teammate was Hinata's cousin. Or rather ex-cousin now that Hinata was banished from the Hyuuga Clan. Whatever their shared blood, the law considered them good as strangers now.
"He usually comes along. Shit, is that going to be a problem?" Tenten asked, looking at Hinata with concern.
"He had a problem with me even when I was Clan Heiress. Now that he's not bound by Clan law to respect me… well, I'd like to think he wouldn't sour the whole meal just to tell me how he really feels about me in front of all of you," Hinata sighed. "I'll come tonight, but if he starts in on me I can't promise I won't run crying out the door. He has a singular talent for cutting people down with his words."
"He so much as looks at you wrong, I'm kicking his ass," Naruto swore.
Tenten snorted. "Believe me, I'd be rooting for you. But he was Shinobi of the Year for our class and he's had a full year under a Taijutsu-focused Jonin. He's a physical prodigy, he's actually trying to reverse-engineer some of the Main House's special techniques from scratch."
"We're getting off topic. The point of this dinner is for Tenten-chan's sensei to vet us as her potential partners. Neji should not be a factor in this decision," Hinata said firmly. "Tenten-chan, Naruto-kun and I will be there. What time?"
"6:30. Mind if I hang out here until we have to leave? I figure we can do the whole 'getting to know you' thing for a couple hours," Tenten suggested.
Naruto and Hinata were more than happy to talk with the Genin they both had their eye on as potential Uzumaki bride #2. They all moved over to the couch and just let the words start to flow. Naruto and Hinata answered every question honestly, wanting to be upfront and honest from the start. Tenten proved to be delightful company on top of being so gosh darn cute. Tsunade Senju had been her idol during the Academy, but once she found out she wasn't suited for Medical Ninjutsu then Gai-sensei helped her develop her Bukijutsu. She somehow managed to feel like 'one of the guys' while maintaining enough lady-like femininity to be very attractive. She was casual and sporty and spunky and she seemed to like what she learned of their personalities to go with her blatant appreciation for their bodies.
Around 6:00, they got up and went for a leisurely walk to the restaurant where Team Gai had an informal meal once a week. Tenten noticed the glaring at Naruto pretty soon. "Okay, what's up with that?" Tenten asked, nodding at a man who had actually spat in Naruto's direction before turning a corner.
"S-rank secret. I'm not joking. I have the clearance to share it since it involves me, but frankly I don't trust you not to run screaming just yet if I tell you," Naruto sighed. "Suffice to say that over half the village has problems with me for something I had no control over."
"What, was one of your parents a traitor or something? Which wouldn't make it okay, that whole 'sins of the father' thing is bullshit!" Tenten said, apparently incensed on his behalf.
Naruto sighed. "Really, Tenten-chan, I'd rather not talk about it tonight. It's going to take all I've got to make a good impression on Gai-sensei and not try and disembowel Neji if he rips into Hinata-chan. Can you respect that?"
"Well… yeah, I guess," Tenten said, though she still seemed confused and curious. "Oh, it's just around the corner."
They arrived at Chang's Curry, which was a proper restaurant as opposed to Ichiraku's. Tenten walked them right past the host to the right booth, where a man probably around the same age as Kakashi or Asuma spotted her and exploded into noise. "AH, TENTEN, MY YOUTHFUL PUPIL! COME, COME, TAKE A SEAT!"
"Eyebrows," Hinata said in a mild form of shock.
"Teeth," Naruto said, similarly taken aback by one of Might Gai's facial features.
"You get used to the full effect. He's actually the sweetest man past the… well, everything," Tenten chuckled under her breath.
Might Gai was a lot to take in all at once. Under his Jonin flak jacket, he wore a green unitard that seemed painted onto muscles that put even Naruto's to shame, if more lean and streamlined. He wore his ninja headband as a belt and had neon orange leg warmers. Even more eye-catching than his outfit was his face. He had a very strong jaw, a rather large nose, pearly white teeth, and might have been ruggedly handsome were it not for how he styled his hair. His eyebrows were thicker than a couple of Naruto's fingers held together, and were as thick and shiny and obviously well-groomed as his bowl haircut that practically glowed in the dark with health. And if all that wasn't enough, his personality was obviously rather high-energy. As soon as Tenten led Naruto and Hinata up to the booth, he stepped out before flashing a thumbs-up and a smile that had a nearly blinding twinkle. "THE UZUMAKI'S, I PRESUME! I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE JOINED IN HOLY MATRIMONY JUST LAST WEEK! MY MOST HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR YOUTHFUL UNION! YOU TWO ARE CERTAINLY BLOSSOMING IN THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH!"
"... Thank you?" Naruto blinked, trying to make sense of the bizarre words once he'd filtered out the boisterous volume and forceful delivery.
"Tenten told us all about her Team. You must be Might Gai, the Hidden Leaf's 'Sublime Green Beast of Prey'," Hinata said, recovering with more grace than her husband. "That must take forever to write on your undergarments," she tried to crack a joke.
"Hahaha! Such youthful wit! If you must know, Uzumaki-san, I have a very handy stamp!" Gai chuckled, and his volume had dropped from 'air siren' to 'indoor thunder'.
"Nice to meet you, Gai-sensei. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and this is my wife Hinata," Naruto said, falling back on manners.
Out of nowhere, a boy who could only be Rock Lee appeared and stood between Gai and the Uzumaki pair. As Tenten had warned them, her teammate resembled Gai so heavily that one could be forgiven for thinking they were parent and child. He wore the unitard and his headband as a belt and the leg warmers and had styled his hair and eyebrows all exactly the same as his sensei. The differences were in his much rounder eyes and how his hands were wrapped with thick bandages. "I am Rock Lee!" he shouted, removing all doubt. "I am a fellow member of Team Gai alongside Tenten!"
"Nice to meet you, Lee-san," Hinata nodded.
"Correct me if I am wrong: are you not the same Naruto Uzumaki who applied for early graduation with our class last year? I only ask because you seem nigh unrecognizable compared to the last time I saw you!" Lee said with enthusiasm bordering on belligerent.
"Bloodline Limit-based growth spurt. Also why my ears are pointy now," Naruto answered, polite but vague.
"Why don't we all take our seats? Neji should be here any minute!" Gai said, moving with his whole body to gesture at the booth.
Naruto slid in first to get the wall seat, Tenten next to him and Hinata at the end. The older kunoichi, under the table, grabbed both their hands to hold. Naruto took that as a very good sign that she was getting comfortable with both of them. Gai and Lee sat down across from them, leaving room for Neji when he showed up. "So… forgive me if I misunderstood. But the way Tenten described it, you two are somehow courting her despite the fact you are already married, is that so?" Gai asked, his smile losing a few molars and his eyes narrowing.
"I'm bisexual, Naruto-kun's a red-blooded man, we both believe it's possible to love more than one person at once. We're open to expanding our family to include any number of sister-wives. A harem, in common parlance. Tenten caught our attention. This is only our second 'date', as it were, but she's our girlfriend. As in a woman we pursue a romantic relationship with. The goal of which is eventual marriage. You disapprove?" Hinata laid out, tilting her head just so at the end as if daring Gai to be judgmental.
Gai blinked and seemed to take a second look at Hinata. "Whether I approve or not is not the main issue. As her sensei, my only concern is with Tenten's well-being, both physical and emotional. I'm simply trying to ascertain whether this is all on the up-and-up, as it were. I wouldn't want her heart to get broken, which will negatively affect both her work and her personal life. Both of which concern me."
"Does Tenten get a say in this?" Tenten asked a bit pointedly. "I'm an adult woman, Gai-sensei. It's up to me who I date. Granted, I've never been in a poly relationship before. But I have strong feelings for both Naruto and Hinata which I'm positive are reciprocated. And what we get up to behind closed doors is really none of your business. I brought them here tonight to appease you, but please recognize you cannot order me not to be with them. You're my sensei, not my father."
"I realize that, Tenten. Still, for my own peace of mind, I wish to see how honest Naruto and Hinata are with their feelings towards you and get a sense of their characters. I only have your best interests at heart," Gai addressed the kunoichi under his command.
"Excuse me for being late," said a rather androgynous man Lee and Tenten's age who walked up to the booth. He was dressed in a beige jacket and brown shorts, bandages wrapped around his arms and legs. His face was as delicate and sculpted as any china doll's, with the flat gray-white discs for eyes characteristic of every Hyuuga. His waist-length black hair was tied in a loose ponytail. His ninja headband was tied on top of another headband, providing a double layer covering the Hyuuga Cursed Seal that was most likely branded on his forehead. Hinata had explained to Naruto the division between the Main House and Branch House. Hiashi, her father and the current Clan Head, had been an identical twin. By sheer accident of birth, Hiashi and his children were part of the Main House because he'd been born a few minutes earlier. Hizashi, Neji's deceased father, and all his descendents had been delegated to the Branch House. For that alone, Naruto would understand Neji being a bit bitter towards Hinata.
But the look of sheer, focused, tempered hate the Hyuuga boy sent at his wife had Naruto ready to draw a kunai and start a fight.
"Neji! Sit down, sit down! We're just all getting to know Tenten's two new friends! This is Naruto Uzumaki, and his new wife Hinata," Gai said loudly, smile bright. But there was something wary in his eyes.
"Ah yes. The Dead Last troublemaker with delusions of early graduation. And the shameful exile of my Clan. Such fascinating dinner company we have tonight," Neji said, and he managed to sound more pompous and convinced of his own superiority than Sasuke ever had by a factor of 10.
"Neji! That was rude, you should apologize!" Rock Lee gasped, turning wide eyes on his teammate.
"Since when is it rude to speak the truth?" Neji drawled, looking at Naruto as one would a deformed animal, a grotesque oddity in the circus. Then he looked at Hinata and the phrase 'if looks could kill' didn't seem adequate. More 'if looks could strip the flesh off bones and boil them in acid'.
"I am an exile. I am hardly ashamed. I do not regret a single decision that led to me leaving that gilded cage, Hyuuga-san. If anything, I take pride in them," Hinata said, meeting her cousin's glare with stoic calm.
The waiter came up then. "Yo! What're we drinking tonight?" he asked with a bright smile. It vanished once he tasted the atmosphere around their table.
"What are we drinking, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked, turning away from her relative towards her husband.
"The Tropical Madras sounds interesting," Naruto said, literally picking the first thing he spotted when he checked the drink menu. "Two of those… make them doubles, please." Naruto would need a little buzz to get through this evening if this was how Neji was going to behave.
The others gave their orders, Gai for some reason repeating three times to the waiter that Lee's drink was to be virgin. The waiter left eagerly, and the 6 of them were left awkwardly staring at each other.
"So… how precisely are you two related, Neji and Hinata?" Lee asked.
"We are not," Neji said as if his teammate had insulted him with the very suggestion.
"Genetically, our fathers were twins. Legally, there is no remaining link. In case you were not aware, Lee-kun, I was recently banished from the Hyuuga Clan by the will of Clan Head Hiashi," Hinata said in a conversational calm.
"But… I thought Neji was the nephew of Clan Head Hiashi. If your fathers were brothers, wouldn't that make you…" Lee trailed off as if too horrified to complete the thought.
"My father disowned me. He stripped me of all my titles and possessions, even my own name. And I am grateful he did, for it brought me to where I am now. I truly think everything worked out for the best," Hinata shrugged.
Neji was frowning. "Strange… you actually believe that. I knew you were weak in body, but I didn't think your mind would fold to the point you'd accept such delusional thinking."
"You are aware that we have 4 witnesses to this conversation, yes, Hyuuga-san? I can build a case for harassment should you continue in this vein the whole evening. I'm sure you wouldn't want that black mark on your, and by extension your Clan's, record," Hinata answered without blinking at the insult.
Neji's obvious loathing was still there, but now there was just a smidgen of bemusement. "... What happened to you?" he asked.
"Fell in love. I highly recommend it. Leaving a toxic, abusive living situation helped too, of course," Hinata answered with a polite smile.
"Abuse? You were the Clan Heiress! You had privileges that I could hardly dream of!" Neji shouted, Hinata apparently hitting some berserk button of her cousin's.
"Hiashi Hyuuga is a man who would use the Cursed Seal on his own brother, whom he actually respected. Take a moment to set aside your preconceived notion of me and imagine how he treated his absolute disappointment of a firstborn," Hinata said, her tone two-dimensional. "Physically, mentally, emotionally, in every way but sexually I was abused by him. You cannot convince me otherwise, Hyuuga-san."
"Is this really dinner table conversation?" Gai asked rhetorically, clearly trying to play mediator or change the subject.
Neji had a look like he was trying to do advanced calculus in his head. "Look me in the eye. You are happier as an exile than you were as Clan Heiress, yes or no?"
"Yes," Hinata answered, face open to whatever reading her cousin seemed to be doing.
Neji took a deep breath, then set his shoulders and leaned back. "Then perhaps, as you said, everything did indeed work out for the best. A misfit who was never meant for the station she was born into will no longer be forced to forever try and fail to meet what's expected of her. The Clan will thrive beneath Hanabi-sama, and you will be free to live whatever life you wish as some second-class citizen. What a curious twist of Fate."
"If that's how you wish to see the matter, Hyuuga-san," Hinata shrugged.
There was a beat of silence. Naruto finally felt confident enough to speak up once it seemed clear that some kind of truce or at least a ceasefire had been called between the two. "So, Tenten-chan says you guys are trying for the next Chunin Exams."
"Oh ho, perhaps! I'm still undecided whether to go through with the recommendations. They'll have to convince me with proof of their youthful dedication and drive!" Gai chuckled with a teasing wink at his students.
The tension popped like a bubble and then Lee and Tenten were eagerly discussing their training schedules as well as trading anecdotes with their other teammate and sensei. Naruto and Hinata were quiet observers, just soaking up the family-like energy around the table. Still, they had their Telepathy. *You alright? He really laid into you,* Naruto checked with his wife.
*Not even. Either I've grown much thicker skin since our last meeting or he wasn't trying too hard. He's reduced me to tears on multiple occasions when we crossed paths in the Compound,* Hinata enlightened him.
*What's his beef with you? It… well, it seems personal from where I was sitting,* Naruto finally asked the bluenette.
*Most of it is generalized hate of the whole Main House. As the weakest member and most easy to target, I was a convenient outlet for all his frustrations growing up. But there is something he holds me personally accountable for, which I doubt he will ever forgive me.*
*What's that?*
*... On my 3rd birthday, the ambassador from Hidden Cloud came to the Hidden Leaf Village to sign a treaty for an escalating conflict that might well have turned into the Fourth Shinobi War. That night, the ambassador kidnapped me from my bed and tried to spirit me back to Hidden Cloud that they might unlock the secrets of the Byakugan. My Father intercepted the ambassador and killed him before realizing his identity. Hidden Cloud denied any involvement, of course, and in fact demanded my Father's dead body or the war would truly start. It was a brilliant ploy. If the ambassador was successful, they'd get me; if he failed, they'd still get a Main House Hyuuga to dissect. Father found a solution to the problem, of course.*
*Don't tell me… he handed over his brother, Neji's father. Hidden Cloud signed off on it because he looked like Hiashi, but they didn't find the Byakugan because Hizashi had the Cursed Seal. And I guess in Neji's mind, it makes sense to blame you for getting kidnapped in the first place. As if a toddler could have fought back against a full-grown ninja.*
*I never said it made sense, Naruto-kun,* Hinata sighed. *But now, I am banished from the Clan. I am no longer a constant reminder of the 'unfairness of Fate'. I'm not saying he would put me out if he found me on fire, but most of his aggression against me should fade with time. I'm more worried about how he'll treat Hanabi-chan.*
*Always so selfless,* Naruto shook his head. *But if you want to just leave it all in the past, I'll respect that.*
The food arrived, which proved delightfully spicy and aromatic. They were halfway into the meal when Lee paused. "Erm, I hate to reopen this discussion, but I find myself confused on certain details. What exactly did you do, Hinata, to prompt your banishment?"
"Had oral sex with Naruto-kun," Hinata said with a straight face.
The sight of Neji choking and pounding his own chest and forcing down water went a long way towards soothing Naruto's ruffled feathers over his rude words towards Hinata.
"Erm, I beg your pardon?" Lee asked, having turned almost as red as the old Hinata at her worst.
"It sounds absurd, but that really is what it boiled down to. I broke my chastity with a man I wasn't even betrothed to, let alone married yet. I also allowed Naruto-kun to use his Bloodline Limit on me, effectively rewriting my DNA. My father deemed such a 'betrayal' of the Hyuuga Clan worthy of my banishment. That's also why we got married so fast. Naruto-kun would have been fine with just living together. I figured since we were in a sexual relationship and cohabitating we might as well make it official and get married. It's working out quite well so far," Hinata elaborated after her evocative word choice.
"You mentioned a Bloodline Limit earlier, Naruto. Though, beg pardon, I've never even heard of the Uzumaki Clan. Please forgive my ignorance and provide an explanation," Lee said, actually bowing at Naruto.
"The Uzumaki Clan was actually a bit of a big deal before the Second Shinobi War almost rendered us extinct. But that's not important. My Progenitor Bloodline Limit is brand-new. Spontaneous event of biology and I was the lucky one to have it. The main function is that my body now produces special proteins. Anyone who absorbs those proteins get two things: the Change and the Connection. The Change customizes their body for combat and to be in perfect health. The Connection allows them to pool chakra with me for me to distribute across the network as I deem fit. As of right now, my network of Wards includes Hinata-chan, Tenten-chan, and over 40 other volunteers. And I've only had it for about a week," Naruto explained, reflecting that he'd had to say almost the exact same thing to multiple people in the past few days. Maybe he should just print up cards with all the relevant details and hand them out.
"Fascinating. I'd heard through the village grapevine about a new Bloodline Limit and that Hokage-sama was actively looking for volunteers to join this network. I missed or didn't hear that the owner was you, Naruto!" Gai said with a too-bright grin. Seriously, did he brush his teeth that hard just to have an extra weapon in combat?
Neji had, for whatever reason, activated his Byakugan. He seemed dumbstruck. "I've never seen anything like it… this Connection… it's beautiful but… alien, somehow…" The veins around his eyes stopped bulging as he deactivated his Clan's unique Doujutsu. "Are you sure it was wise, Tenten, giving this man you barely know unfettered access to your chakra?"
"He was very persuasive, Hinata even more so," Tenten said, trying to hide her blush. "Besides, it's really none of your business, Neji."
They finished up the food and had casual conversation, though Neji remained cold and aloof for the most part. After a second round of drinks, they settled the bill and got up to leave. Tenten waved Gai, Lee, and Neji away before turning back to her dates for the evening. "Um… I live not too far from here. Not saying I want to imprint tonight, but I can at least get my second dose, right?"
"Whatever you're comfortable with, Tenten-chan," Naruto grinned down at the kunoichi.
Tenten led them to a nearby apartment building of noticeably higher quality than Naruto's. But she led them down a set of stairs to the basement level. "It's a windowless hole in the ground, but it's home," she chuckled, letting them into one of the subterranean apartments with the key. It was a studio like theirs, and weapons definitely meant more for practical use than ornamentation were dotted on the walls and shelves on various stands. Her bed was unmade, but there weren't any dirty clothes flung anywhere. A changing screen was folded by the bed, hinting at a sexual life. Candles, likely in case the electricity ever went out, were liberally placed around the space.
"So… what can we do? I definitely want to do something, but I don't want to lock myself down for forever just yet. I'm a lot closer than I was this morning, the last few hours were so much fun! But still, not fully convinced about becoming part of your harem," Tenten half-babbled in a nervous rush.
"I could just fill up a big enough pot and you can get your second dose and pass out for 4 hours. We could make a show out of it, though," Naruto suggested.
"How do you mean?" Tenten asked, eyes bright with anticipation.
Naruto glanced at Hinata, who he sensed was still a little tuckered out from the gangbang earlier. "Well, this is a fantasy of Hinata's. I hope you enjoy it too. Honey, be a dear and go find a pot for me to shoot into by the time he's done."
"He?" Tenten blinked.
Naruto made what was fast becoming his favorite hand seal. "Shadow Clone Jutsu." With a plume of smoke, a single Clone of Naruto appeared, identical in every way. They shot matching smirks at a confused Tenten and already panting Hinata. "Technically, this isn't gay sex. It's a higher form of masturbation," Naruto teased. Then he reached up to cup his Clone's cheek. With a breath to brace for what would probably be a very different experience than he was used to, Naruto started to lean in.
Half an hour later, Naruto and Hinata showed themselves out, a comatose Tenten tucked into her bed. The weapons mistress' belly was rounded out from every drop of cum she'd sucked out of the pot Naruto had aimed his load into once Clone-Naruto had coaxed it out of him. Hinata was practically skipping, some deep craving she'd never known she had finally soothed. Naruto wondered what it said about himself that his Clone seemed to enjoy it that much… and mentally assured himself he was still straight. He just had… options.
