Chapter 11
Hachibi
BOOM!
The punch rattled his teeth. Naruto grunted on impact but held his ground, grinding his teeth. Asking Yonbi to go all out, relying only on Sage chakra and his natural strength, might've been a bit too much.
But Naruto Uzumaki was not about to lay down easily.
Forcing the tall redhead back was just as difficult, but the young sage found himself smiling at the challenge. His forearm throbbed from the impact; even without the heavy metal gauntlets, Yonbi knew how to enhance her punches with chakra, much like his childhood friend Sakura. But Yonbi had tail beast chakra.
And quite a lot of it, as the aforementioned bijuu began putting up a fight in Naruto's forced test of strength, a new fire lighting in her eyes.
"Come on Naru!" she practically growled. "MY little brother beat the best of the best right?!"
She leaned practically into his face; Naruto could see every drop of effort from perspiration alone. Her eyes were wild and feral, a lot like the day they first met after her unsealing.
"Or are you just going soft now to save for later…?"
The seductive purr and wink was genuinely out of character for the loud, rambunctious bijuu, and it worked. Naruto faltered slightly, quickly adjusting as years of Shinobi training forced its way into gear.
Slipping under her punch, Naruto didn't hold back on his counter.
And sent Yonbi sailing backwards around fifteen yards.
"Kyuubi!" Naruto chided mentally. He felt her chakra in that one.
"She was asking for it Naru," the fox smoothly responded, not missing a beat. "Maybe stop treating her like she's made of chakra paper?"
Naruto smiled. In the years of peace after the war, Kyuubi was bound to get antsy for combat. Spending the last 3 years watching her sisters have fun with her Naruto definitely fueled her more feisty antics, and that either meant she needed a good fight or a good… visit from the Uzumaki to placate her for a while.
After Nanabi, finding B hadn't been the hard part. Convincing him to part with Hachibi however…
"Me and eight are two peas on a plate you fool!"
Kyuubi wanted desperately to string him upside down for the botched saying, but she couldn't deny his bond with her sister. After all, she was life partners with her Naru, and she knew well that the kinship formed in battle meant galaxies to a shinobi, and a bijuu all the same.
Naruto spent the first 2 years driving himself stir crazy, fishing through his father's notes and trying to get help from the best medic nins the Leaf had to offer, but each failure just drove him into a deep hole that Kyuubi and her sisters spent months dragging him out of.
The last year had been spent ruthlessly training, as Naruto believed if he increased his own chakra reserves further and expanded his knowledge of Sage chakra, he could somehow negate the need for the eight tails, and free Kyuubi himself.
Kyuubi didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise, and it was better to let him be productive at the time.
Now, a few months after that heated discussion, as the Leafs namesake took hold and the trees themselves seemed to display their own will of fire, here was the determined, now 22 year old Naruto putting everything humanly possible towards his goals.
"I love you so much, Naru.."
The lonesome sounding remark halted him. "I - I love you too, Kyuu-ohi," he said softly, still focusing on Yonbi, whom had quickly stood up and donned her gauntlets, ready to continue their little training match. "Is something wrong?"
"No I just love you for being you. Now stop fucking around and show me why!"
Naruto grinned. Out of thin air a Shadow Clone appeared, and the blonde started forming one of his trademark attacks. He didn't necessarily need the clones for it these days, but being able to perform the jutsu without handseals was never easy, and he'd mastered it quickly.
Kyuu blushed up a storm at his choice in combat style. Her Naru did like showing off for her…
"WIND STYLE: RASENSHURIKEN!"
Yonbi's eyes widened as she recognized the powerful jutsu; Naruto was already strong before but this was different. His training had indeed bore fruit, just not the ones he'd been hoping for. The blades on the Rasegan swelled and shrank for a bit; Yonbi was literally watching him decide how hard to hit her.
But there wasn't an inch of fear in the amazonian woman; rather a hungry blaze had been lit, and she was all too ready to let it consume her.
"COME ON!!" she roared, clashing her gauntlets together as her bijuu chakra surged into them, the metal bolts hissing and purging steam.
"YOU BETTER HIT ME HARD UZUMAKI!" Yonbi yelled at him, staring the man down like he was Roshi himself that day.
"I plan on it!" Naruto playfully jeered, cracking a smile. He knew Yonbi was no slouch in power, and unfortunately for him, she lived to punch things harder than they could punch back. "I wouldn't doubt or underestimate you for a second, Yon-nee," he continued. "So let's see what happens when you stop insulting me by holding back!"
Well that definitely got her going. And going fast.
Without warning she was sprinting towards him, Naruto's smile widening as he read her intent all too clear. The raging Four Tails was adamant on punching straight through whatever he sent in her path, the cry of rage and power leaving her as she reared back her fists surely resounding through the nearby trees.
Naruto found himself almost laughing letting the highly dangerous jutsu fly, the exhilaration of battle once again worming its way forward and taking hold.
"LAVA STYLE: MOLTEN FLARE!"
Well that was a new one.
It was Naruto's turn to be surprised, watching Yonbi's marvelous weapons turn white hot, impacting dead on with the wild wind nature attack. But instead of punching through it, she was…
Grabbing it?
Oh my Kami I think I'm in love.
"Naruuu!" Kyuubi whined in protest, but she was also impressed with her sister; practically attempting to manhandle and manipulate a jutsu that strong on the fly was definitely something only her sister Yonbi would think of in a fight.
Said woman was smiling maniacally watching her half-crazy, half-ingenious idea work. Yonbi was pouring as much of the hot lava as she could into it, the blades spinning faster and cutting into the metal of her weapons with the force being generated. Then putting her own chakra around it turned the offending object dark crimson, and the smile turned into a mascot of insanity.
"HEY NARU!" she shouted. "HOW.. ABOUT.. A QUICK.. GAME…. OF CATCH!"
With each word she spun around and around again, punctuating her clever quip (perfect in her mind), by tossing the supercharged attack as hard as she could towards her lover.
Naruto and Kyuubi both reacted quickly, a chakra arm seizing the abomination and enclosing it in a fist, and launching it high and far, sailing harmlessly into the distance…
Until it connected with a large cliff face a great distance away.
The resulting detonation shook the forest, painting the sky in a crimson light, a plume of ash and smoke, and even a few pebbles were heard hitting the ground near them, as Naruto watched the culmination of two unpredictable and powerful fighters clashing in amazement.
"Yon-nee…" he whispered, "When did you learn how to do that..?"
Yonbi was smiling still, but this one was full of pride and bravado. "I had the idea a long time ago, my sweet little brother," she sang smugly. Her gauntlets hissed again as they released, thunking to the ground as she proudly strode over to the awestruck blonde.
Grabbing him by the shoulders, she forcefully kissed him, practically ramming her tongue into Naruto's mouth, the now experienced man before her quickly adapting and giving Yonbi exactly what she wanted.
Well he's not so little anymore…
Naruto had indeed gained a few more inches of height, and while initially Yonbi despaired about not being able to smother him in her chest while standing, she found out not having to crane her neck so far for kisses was great, and the fact that his chest actually felt really nice pressing against her when he was on to-
"Yon-nee, your gauntlets!"
Naruto had detached from her in a heartbeat. Well, not really; since Yonbi had been kissed out of her right mind and into Naruto-Land, she'd been frozen to the spot with half lidded eyes for a few minutes after he'd already stepped away a bit. He'd noticed her damaged weapons and had run over quickly to examine them, and the damage looked… expensive to say the least.
The individual fingers carried deep gashes from the woman's little experiment, slightly singed from the excessive heat that she recklessly slammed into them, but Naruto didn't know anyone with good enough skills to be able to fix something as complex as his "big sister"s twin fists.
Yonbi had recovered and was currently surveying the damage herself, blushing a little at her apparent loss of control on her excitement.
"Ehh it's alright," she sighed. "I'll just take them to Hachi and-."
She stopped herself thinking that Naruto might find the Eight Tails to be a sensitive subject, but he seemed to be eagerly awaiting the rest of her response. "What's up Yon-nee? Everything okay?"
She sighed and continued. "I don't want you feeling responsible, but Hachibi made all of our weapons, for the few of us that have them," she admitted. "So without her I have no idea if my babies can get patched back up or not."
Yonbi picked up the heavy weapons like twigs and looked closer, noticing warping around some of the connecting joints.
It's DEFINITELY a no without her…
"Hey, I have an idea!" Naruto suddenly shouted, snapping the boxing beauty to attention. "Why don't we take them home to Roku! I'm sure there has to be something in the library with information on at least something similar to these."
Yonbi cocked her head cutely as she thought, a little nuance about her that Naruto found adorable and he tried his best not to kiss her. "Well, that's not a bad idea actually," she said. "If you're right I'm sure if you knew someone in the Leaf that has decent skills at a forge we could- mmmmph!"
Naruto couldn't contain himself anymore. Since kissing his Yon-nee earlier his pants were cramped and Yonbi was caught completely off guard. The seductive culprit of a kiss that stole her words was also taking her ability to think straight, as she practically melted in her man's arms, moaning harder as he pinned her to a tree while her legs gave out and they both slowly sank to the dirt.
As the battle between their tongues concluded, and Naruto pulled away to see Yonbi's panting, flushed face; feeling her grinding and pumping her hips against him he knew she was far past the point of no return. This was the Yonbi that would stop at nothing to have him dominate and breed her.
"Mmm, Naru…" she huffed out. "I've always wanted to you to plow me where we fight…"
Reaching up shakily and grabbing his right hand, she guided it to her soft bosom, taking Naruto's left hand and bringing it to her mouth to slowly and torturously suck his thumb.
"You didn't exactly beat me," Yonbi continued in the same husky purr, "But you definitely beat something into me and now you're going to pound it out!"
Naruto grit his teeth at the sexual display, and his pants were now practically throbbing. "Yon-nee…", he hissed as a warning, giving his partner one last chance to back down from her bold declaration.
But who would Yonbi be if she tucked tail?
Smirking up at him in victory, Yon practically moaned in his ear, "Take me. Show me how a true warrior breeds."
"Fuck me, Daddy…"
In a flash it seemed she was naked, Naruto's rough hand caressing and squeezing her chest, causing Yonbi to squirm beneath him, grinding shamelessly against any part of her lover she could come into contact with. Not to be outdone in any form of contest between them, she practically tore his bottoms clawing them off and grabbing his manhood. She quickly found a rhythm as her Naru-Daddy didn't hold back on his assault to her chest, so she pumped his hard-on in time with his circular ministrations.
Naruto had to but his lip to avoid losing it; it'd been quite a while since he had quality alone time with Yon. She was just as active and persistent in bed as she was in everything else, and once her switched got flipped, her submissive side exposed to him, it didnt mean that she wouldn't be dominant in order to crack Naruto for what she wanted.
Now Yon was kissing and licking his neck, effectively paralyzing Naruto as she guided him slowly into her. As he hilted inside her, Yonbi's eyes rolled in pleasure, her eyelids fluttering cutely as she barely held the pieces together.
"H-holy shiiit… Naruuu.." she whined. "Don't make me wait.. please!"
Naruto obliged. He didn't have a choice really. Yonbi was practically scorching hot inside, and feeling her clamp down on him so tightly almost lit the fireworks then and there. He started thrusting eagerly, not wasting time being gentle with his lover, who'd probably only feel insulted by the action.
The wet sounds of their lovemaking quickly rose in volume, and soon Naruto was pressing her legs up underneath him, using his body weight to nearly pancake the woman into the leaves.
Or that's how it felt to Yonbi, at least. The mating press was her favorite position; she could feel every inch of Uzumaki scraping her deep inside like only he could… like only he was allowed to…
"FUUUUCKKK!" she moaned deeply, fighting to keep her eyes open and locked on her man. "YES YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT DADDY! GIVE IT TO ME!!"
Forcing himself the last few inches closer, eliminating the last tiny fraction of space between them, Naruto settled his teeth on Yonbi's neck, honing in on her favorite spot just above her shoulder line. Her breathing, already labored in concentration, hitched entirely, and as her hunk of a partner bit down, the effects were instantaneous.
"Fff- fff- fuuuuuck!"
Yonbi went nearly stone still, and if it wasn't for her wildly shaking legs and her hands clawing his shoulders like her life depended on it, Naruto would've thought she was unconscious.
Knowing exactly how her clock ticked, he went even harder, as the woman beneath him begged him for more through her desperate attempts to move; her apparently traitorous hips failing to keep in sync as her shaking got infinitely worse.
"Hah.. ahhhh!" Yonbi was sure if the Namikaze Estate had closer neighbors, there would be no mistaking what was happening next door. She couldn't hear, see, or feel anything but Naruto, and she shamelessly loved every second. Finally managing to crack an eye open through it all she saw Naruto's pleasured face eclipsing the autumn sun behind him from the current angle.
Seeing the near angelic image, combined with his intoxicating scent, and his powerful thrusting into her, Yonbi could barely hold it together. Wrapping her arms around his neck as tears starting to mist her vision, she was going to loudly announce her closeness to the edge…
And then he smiled down at her and everything came crashing down.
"NARUUUUU! YOU FUCKING FILL ME RIGHT NOW…" she huffed. "FILL ME DADDY!"
And, once more, the man she frantically called for in search of release gave her exactly what she asked for. Yonbi coiled her legs tightly around him, locking him into place as Naruto hit his limit from her little submissive display. Flooding into her without warning, Yonbi's warm, spasming tunnel milked him for everything he had. Naruto couldn't count how many times he shot into her; the only irrefutable fact was that at that moment, all he could see in his mind was Yon pregnant with HIS child.
They kissed one final time as the lights faded and the couple slowly and begrudgingly came back to reality; this one full of love and passion, as they held onto each other for dear life.
"I can't imagine life without you, Naru," Yonbi whispered, still waiting for her voice to fully return to her. "I want to be with you forever…"
Naruto chuckled, by now used to Yonbi's lovestruck declarations after their "fun times".
"I swear to give you all the time in the world with me, Yon," he said softly, kissing her cheek. "Now I'm assuming you can't walk home so shunshin it is!"
Yonbi's panicking face was priceless. "Oi, wait a second I'm not-!"
The silence that followed in the estate forest was deafening.
TBT……TBT
Rokubi loved the Namikaze Library. It was perfect. Organized, clean, and an absolute trove of knowledge at your disposal and discretion! Humming quietly to herself as she stood on her tiptoes to clean a few things, Rokubi was having a great day today.
Even if it did seem like growing taller evaded everyone but her.
But what she lacked in height after these three years, she more than made up for in style. Naruto had shown her than her lilac hair didn't have to be lilac, and in the subsequent years the lug had taken to calling her "Roku-rainbow" just to piss her off.
She eventually settled on a half black, half natural look split down the middle. Her wardrobe had expanded to black skirts, fishnets, and gothic topwear, all of which she pulled off immaculately of course.
Spending most of her time bugging Naruto for laughs and the rest lounging with a good book, Rokubi genuinely loved her new life more than she ever thought she would.
That is, until her sister Yonbi and the tenacious blonde appeared in her library, stark naked, covered in dirt and leaves and dripping sweat. Then?
Then she fucking hated it.
"HEY!" the infuriated shorter bijuu raged. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO I JUST FUCKING CLEANED THIS FLOOR!"
Yonbi, upon receiving said aggression, did what she does best. Returning the favor.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME YOU DUMB BIMBO!" she shouted back. "BLAME HIM!" She furiously pointed at Naruto, who was already somehow dressed and seemingly very interested in a book on fuinjutsu.
He even waved at Rokubi, the bijuu gritting her teeth to keep from detonating the library on the spot.
Taking a breath, Rokubi calmed herself. It's okay. She worked on this. Happy thoughts and-
"No new color yet, rainbow? I'm surprised."
"EVERYONE GET THE HELL OUT!" Rokubi screamed, grabbing Naruto with a lilac arm of chakra and sending him sailing towards the door.
"I JUST FINISHED CLEANING IN HERE AND NOW THERE'S… MYSTERY FLUIDS ON MY FUCKING MAHOGANY!"
She confidently strode up to her older, stronger sister, her voice dropping into a menacingly sweet whisper.
"So get the fuck out, go fucking shower, get FUCKING dressed and FUCK OFF!"
Yonbi actually was proud of her little sister for standing her ground, and it was kind of Yon's intention to get frisky with Naruto after their training, she just didn't expect for it to happen immediately after.
Deflating at Rokubi's rightful rage, Yonbi admitted defeat. "Alright alright I'm going!" In a huff, she collected her gear in one fell swoop and headed for the door.
Battles of words weren't her strong suit after all.
Naruto, on the other hand, was still recovering from being unceremoniously tossed around ten feet into a heavy wooden door, and completely at Rokubi's mercy as the irate bijuu stomped over to him, the clopping of her black heeled boots heralding doom for her target.
"AND AS FOR YOU!"
Rokubi yanked him to his feet, the quickly apparent height difference once again doing jack shit to stop her.
"IF YOU'RE GONNA FUCK MY SISTER OUTSIDE THEN CLEAN UP OUTSIDE!" she roared. "THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'M PUTTING UP WITH YOU FUCKING UP MY LITERAL DAYS OF WORK IN HERE! SO GO FUCKING SHOWER AND COME CLEAN THIS SHIT UP!"
With that, Naruto was shoved out of his father's library, the big door that nearly gave him a concussion slamming shut behind him.
Shaking his head and sighing, he went to go take his assigned shower, when the door reopened and he was yanked back inside.
Rokubi pulled him down into a heavy kiss, which, unprovoked from the proud woman, was rare. Naruto was dumbfounded after, staring into her onyx pools of mirth like an idiot.
"You're lucky you're so fucking hot and I got a peek earlier. Love you!"
With that, he was shoved out again, but this time the door closed softly.
Naruto couldn't help but laughing on the way to the bathroom. Rokubi did indeed have a place in his heart, as did the rest of her sisters, but their relationship specifically he cherished highly.
Who knew that picking with each other daily would lead to Rokubi being there for his deepest talks when Naruto was at his lowest?
Turning into the bathroom and stripping out of his improvised clothes, he turned on the water in the large walk-in shower, stepping in and shutting the glass pane as steam began to fill the room. Applying his soap to wash, he was beginning to set into his usual routine when-
Shick…
Click…
His eyes were closed to preserve them but Naruto's heightened instincts sharply picked up on the shower door opening and closing, and the short burst of cold air sneaking past him let him know that he was no longer showering alone, and it didn't take long to figure out who joined him.
"Welcome home, Master," a silky voice purred. "You must be tired, allow me."
Naruto couldn't help his smile, relaxing greatly at recognizing his visitor. "Thank you, Tabi-chan. You may proceed."
Matatabi's heart swelled at the recognition; knowing Naruto had so many people vying for his love and still cared so deeply for her and her alone could almost make the monster cat cry.
She grabbed his chosen cloth quickly, moving with the grace of a skilled caretaker, and began softly washing Naruto's back, using her other hand to massage and channel tiny bits of chakra into his muscles, heightening the soothing sensation and allowing him to relax further.
"How was your training with Yonbi, Master Naruto?" she asked softly. "Did you enjoy yourself?"
"Yeah it went great!" he enthusiastically responded. "Apparently Yon had been working on something herself that I got to see which was really amazing! I'm proud of her."
Matatabi smiled. It was always so endearing how loving her master was, and it didn't show any signs of ever changing. Turning him around to wash his front, the woman didn't bat an eye at him being exposed; she was so focused on fulfilling her duties that lust was out of the picture.
She glanced down for just a second and blushed.
Well, almost.
"Well I'm happy you're home, Master," she continued, forcing her personal feelings down. "You worked up quite a sweat out there it seems. I'm glad I could be here to clean you up."
As she then washed and rinsed his hair, Naruto was able to move it out of his face and actually open his eyes.
And Matatabi was just as breathtaking as ever.
Her hair wasn't up in its usual braid, rather, it was flowing down her back, laden with moisture and slightly sticking to her shoulders, the black and electric blue contrasting beautifully with her olive tone.
Locking eyes with her was a definite mistake, because now he was lost in emeralds and gold and couldn't decide which eye color won as they battled for the title of most enchanting.
Matatabi jumped as her Master stared her down, feeling like an ant under a microscope. "Is something the matter?" she purred softly. "I can stop if you wish to be alone."
Naruto couldn't answer, as busy as he was watching a water droplet snake down her chest line and rest on her nipple.
Ohh to be water right now… he would kill for it…
Matatabi was pinned to the wall before she knew it, and the pair went from intimately close to intimacy close before she could protest.
Not that she wanted to, of course.
"Master," she exhaled, just then recognizing she was holding her breath. "You're supposed to be bathing right now… not getting dirtier…"
God wet Naruto was a dream come true.
He pressed against her, kissing her cheeks and moving southward, almost like he was trying to drink every bit of water on her naked form before it was wasted. Settling on his knees, he grabbed onto her hips and guided her to a small seating nook behind her and slowly, agonizingly pulling her legs further apart. Matatabi could hear her heart drumming in her ears, the anticipation of what was happening to her freezing her thoughts.
I serve him! He's the master! Master Naruto wouldn't just-
"You're so good to me, dorei," Naruto said, the lust dripping from his words doing more than any shower to Mata.
"You deserve service for a change.."
The legs he separated clamped shut around him as he leaned forward, and kissed and licked at her lone, defenseless tunnel, his victim's lithe hands quickly finding purchase in his hair and squeezing with everything possible.
"Naruto-samaa!" she cried out. "Wait! This feels too good!"
Naruto paid no heed to her half-hearted plea, adding his right hand to the assault to sweeten the experience. If anyone deserved to be serviced into a wild, wet mess, it was his Matatabi.
Forever faithful, forever loyal Matatabi.
Her ragged panting and ecstatic cries were not just lust raging through her system needing to be vocalized; no, it was her obsessive nature to love all things Naruto, and the fact that it was HIM doing these things to her, that's what drove her insane.
"Master! Masterrr! M-master please, I can't hold on!"
He'd heard those cries before, and hearing them again now didn't damper their effects one bit. Everything being slightly muffled from the noise of the shower and having his ears covered restricted most of what the beauty said to him, but Naruto heard those particular almost loud and clear. He drove his tongue inside her, thoroughly enjoying the way her body flinched at the sensation.
Mata, being on the receiving end of such exemplary service for once, could only struggle to maintain her hold on her lover's hair as the bijuu's arms grew weak. She was soooo close, but every part of her screamed for more. Matatabi wanted to beg her master to stop, but only to pick her up, tie her to something, and use her like the good slave she aspired to be only for Naruto's sake.
"Nar.. sama…" she could barely pant out. "I need.. I need your.."
"Shhhh," Naruto managed to free himself enough to lock eyes with her again, placing a very wet finger to her lips. "I have to help Roku clean the library, sweet dorei," he said softly. "Please accept this right now for me and trust I will return to you later."
He noticed Matatabi's pupils dilate at the affectionate spin on her chosen pet name, and smiled, after all her cat like cuteness was very unique and did several things to him.
Mata nodded as best she could in her weakened state, and her lover resumed his chosen task with renewed energy.
"Please Master…" she moaned out. "Please.. can I…?"
Naruto knew exactly what she was asking for, but he also knew all his women well. So instead of answering, and without stopping his actions, he just held up 3 fingers on his left hand.
Matatabi knew this game. She had to beg, and sufficiently beg, three separate times, while Naruto would take whatever he was doing further and further until the goal was met, effectively driving her wild until her big release. The challenge was in staying coherent enough to form words, take her "punishment", and the most important part…
Addressing Master Naruto correctly the entire time.
Steeling herself as best as she could, she panted out, "Master! Please let me cum! I've been such a good girl..!"
One down…
Naruto, as expected, heightened the pace, making the poor woman shake all over and one of her hands slipped from his head to her chest.
"Master Naruto! I need to cum please! I have to cum for my master…!"
The second finger dropped and her vision blurred as she felt a finger begin to slip into her other lower entrance, sending strong bolts of ecstasy shooting up her spine.
Now she was drooling, the shower washing it away as it mixed in, the only proof being Matatabi's tongue hanging from the corner of her mouth and a thin line running into Naruto's shoulder.
"MASTER! I LIVE FOR YOU! PLEASE LET ME CUM AND THEN FILL ME WITH YOUR CHILDREN!"
Oh that one was perfect…
The last finger dropped and her world went white. Matatabi had no idea if she was moaning, screaming or hysterically crying when it happened, but in the next moment she was in heaven and no one was there but her and Naruto. Her partner noticed this and greedily drank the sweet gift bestowed for his efforts, softly stroking her violently shaking right leg and her lower back.
He kissed her inner thighs softly as she returned to him, Matatabi not being able to muster anything more but twitches and whining from the hypersensitivity. Slowly, she released her beloved master, sighing as he stood and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you Master Naruto, I'll always be yours… and yours alone.."
"I know, Tabi-chan. I love you."
The woman responded by snuggling into his chest, ignoring the water spilling from his back onto her. Naruto reached behind himself a cut the shower off, knowing that physical contact with him was almost a need for the monster cat after they did anything, a validation that he truly meant his love for her. Easily scooping the woman into his arms, he carried her to her bedroom, after grabbing a towel on his way out. Laying the towel down first on the bed, then his beloved Tabi, he dried her off and tucked her into bed, kissing her forehead as she yawned adorably.
"I'll see you soon, sweet Tabi-chan," he whispered lovingly. "I love you."
The sleepy tail flick of happiness he got in response was all he needed.
TBT……TBT
As they cleaned the last bit of leaves and dirt from Naruto's little practical joke on Yonbi, he and Rokubi were still firing lighthearted insults back and forth, but you'd think they could hate each other from the words themselves.
Rokubi had a nasty nack for only hitting below the belt.
"Ya know, it makes sense why a dumb monkey and a horny fox like to fuck outside so much. Filthy mammals."
"Well maybe if you weren't so flat it wouldn't be so cold out to you when you tried."
It had been this way for around twenty or thirty minutes, which each side progressively sinking further and further with their responses, but both parties hadn't stopped smiling and silently laughing at the other, the no holds barred conversation a welcome respite from those more sensitive in the house.
Nanabi would definitely filet him if Naruto called her flat.
After a few hours of crying in private, of course.
"Oh so the SHRIMP wants to bring up the cold? You're a brave man Naruto."
Naruto looked up from his cleaning handiwork to see Rokubi laying on his father's desk, her head slightly hanging off, tossing an apple high and catching it before it hit the ground.
He smirked. "So the rainbow dwarf wants to call the man with easily a foot on her a shrimp? I didn't know you had a thing for seafood."
The apple came down from a particularly high toss and hit Rokubi's forehead dead center, proof that he'd finally gotten to her.
"SHUT UP!" she shouted, sitting up in a huff. "You're so fucking stupid."
Even with her hair being longer now it did nothing to hide the rose tint on her face.
"Awww is the Roku rainbow upset? You want a kiss to make it better?"
The response made the petite woman jump up from the desk and stomp towards him. "You dick!" she scoffed, "You're lucky you need that thing you swing around or I'd make it a bookmark!"
Looking away from him, Naruto almost didn't catch her next response.
"...and yes, you messed up my work! I deserve it…"
Naruto laughed, wrapping the spitfire of a woman in a tight hug. "I love you so much, Roku," he chuckled, giving her a kiss which she happily accepted. "I love you too, even if you're a jackass sometimes," Rokubi smiled. "Yonbi told me you fucked up her gauntlets. The fuck did you do?"
Naruto grinned sheepishly. "We got a little carried away sparring and she caught a Rasenshuriken."
Rokubi was left blinking in disbelief. "She.. caught.. one of those?" Naruto nodded, eager to see her reaction to the best part about Yonbi's earlier feat.
"She actually threw it back at me."
"...WHAT?!" Rokubi yelled. "WHAT WERE YOU IDIOTS THINKING?! YOU COULD'VE KILLED EACH OTHER!"
"She also changed its nature on the fly and made it stronger before she did," Kyuubi reminded Naruto internally. She was also still ruminating to figure out the specifics of what Yonbi did.
Naruto omitted telling Rokubi that. He knew better.
Rokubi sighed, massaging her temples. "Sweet Kami I can't do this without Kyuubi," she bemoaned. "At least people fucking LISTEN to her!"
Stalking past Naruto, she began rummaging through a section of books, not missing a step.
"So I'm guessing you're here to find someway to fix them without Hachi, right?"
Naruto nodded. As always Rokubi was deceptively sharp.
"Well, I'm sorry to tell you this hotshot," Rokubi sighed, "But you're out of luck. Most mortals never know us bijuu can even take human form, much less use weapons. Hachi made them in secret, and you have no choice but to get her here if you want 'em fixed."
Naruto's hope evaporated. Rokubi saw it in his face.
So she plucked his forehead, hard.
"Wait a minute before you get all depressed, you big dolt," she snapped, "I wasn't finished. The good things is Hachi loves her creations, and if you tell her we need help fixing them, that might actually convince her. And then what? Use your pea-brain."
Naruto frowned, rubbing the spot she plucked with an indignant look. And then it hit him.
"Then maybe I can get her on board to release Kyuubi!!" he shouted. Running to Rokubi he trapped her in a bone crushing hug, even spinning her around a few times.
"Oh Roku rainbow you're the best. I love you I love you I love you! Watch the others for me okay? I'll be back soon!"
With that, he shunshinned and was gone.
Rokubi stood in the otherwise empty and quiet library, taken aback by the sudden burst of pure, unadulterated Naruto. It took her just as long to process the words thrown at her at mach ten that it did to realize he was gone.
"That fucking dumbass. I need a drink."
He might've been a dumbass yes, but he was their dumbass, and she loved him for it.
AN: HI. BEEN A WHILE. I KNOW I KNOW, SO MANY YEARS PASSED AND SOME OF YOU ARE ANGRY. IM SORRY. LIFE IS LIFE FOR A GUY LIKE ME, AND SOMETIMES THE ROLLERCOASTER GETS TOO INTENSE AND ITS HARD TO GET OFF IT.
I'M VERY BUSY THESE DAYS, ABANDONED BY MY FAMILY FOR STANDING UP AGAINST THEIR ABUSE, AND I'VE BEEN HOMELESS AND COUCH SURFING FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. I DON'T HAVE A LAPTOP CURRENTLY, SO WRITING IS HARD. SOMETIMES I DON'T EAT FOR DAYS, I'M STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET TO JUST SURVIVE.
BUT ALL THAT ASIDE, HERE'S WHAT I MOST WANT TO EXPLAIN.
I COULDN'T CONTINUE TBT FOR A WHILE. AS I GOT OLDER AND MY MIND MATURED, I FOUND MYSELF TRYING TO FORCE MY WRITING TO FIT THE CURRENT PARAMETERS OF TBT TO FIT WHERE IT WAS. WHEN I SHOULD'VE JUST BEEN WRITING TO SHAPE WHERE IT WAS GOING.
IM NO LONGER A HIGH SCHOOLER WRITING SMUT STORIES ON THE INTERNET, I'M A GROWN MAN WITH DREAMS AND AMBITIONS AND ONE OF THEM IS WRITING. I STRUGGLED TRYING TO PRODUCE A HACHIBI CHAPTER THAT WAS LIKE THE REST, BUT I'M IN A NEW SPACE MENTALLY, AS I'VE GROWN UP QUITE A LOT SINCE I LAST WAS HERE.
TBT WAS BORN OF MY YOUNG CARNAL DESIRES. BUT NOW, AS AN ADULT, IVE RECOGNIZED THAT IT CAN BE SO, SO MUCH MORE.
THE CONCEPT, THE CHARACTERS, THEY ALL HAVE SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL THAN JUST BEING HOT BABES TO DROOL OVER. THEY HAVE SO MUCH PERSONALITY AND LIFE IN THEM AND I LOVE WRITING ABOUT THEM OUTSIDE OF LEMONS AND LIMES.
THIS CHAPTER BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY WRITING AND I HOPE I CAN PASS THAT ONTO YOU. THIS IS STILL AN ADULT STORY, SO LEMONS WILL STILL BE A THING, BUT I WOULD LOVE SUPPORT DURING THIS TRANSITION PHASE WHERE I TURN TBT INTO WHAT I SEE IT CAN BE, A FUN LOVING, ACTION PACKED TALE WITH A BIT OF SPICE, THAT CAN GO SO FAR BEYOND WHERE I LEFT IT.
HACHIBI WILL APPEAR IN THE NEXT CHAPTER, AND THE ARC FINALE WILL BEGIN. TBT IS NOT ENDING, ITS EVOLVING, AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL BE HERE TO SEE IT.
And for my true fans, all the way down here. Thank you. You guys brought me so much light in my darkest times, I WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT YOU. YES YOU. YOU SPECIFICALLY. I love you all so much from the bottom of my heart. It's not all bad news. I found a genuine life partner I've spent the last 3 years with, repairing the damage my family inflicted and that the world also dropped on me when I was young and vulnerable. I have a job, not paying much but I'm grateful. I'm finally learning what it means to stand on my morals as a man, but to also grow into the man I aspire to be while striving for the success I want. Some of you were here in 2019, when I had my first attempt at taking my own life that was outside of my mother's home. Through Percocet and codeine addiction, several losses, and several lost friends and family, I persevered, while dreaming and hoping that when I returned, you would still care. So thank you all for everything. May God keep you safe, healthy and happy. And never forget the jalapenos. Skrill out 3
