SURPRISE! The next chapter out already?! I know, I even shocked myself. Let's just say that my writer's block was demolished for a while. I even have the next chapter partly done. Also, I forgot to say the final harem poll last chapter so I'll have it posted at the bottom. In addition, if you don't mind, can my dear readers please answer with a yes or no if you want Zabuza to be part of the harem or just under Naruto's protection. I've read some fics where Zabuza more than likely becomes a part of Naruto's clan with no sexual relations and is, instead, leaves to go back to Kirigakure or stays with Naruto and becomes a big overprotective papa bear to Haku. So! Let me know: yes for harem, no for clan member.

"Then what's your status?" Katsuro chuckles as he started the shower and they waited for it to heat up.
"Prince."
*Meanwhile*
An ANBU appeared and knelt on the floor in front of the Hokage's desk. Sarutobi Hiruzen raises an eyebrow at the operative.
"Boar? What is it?"
"The Council is requesting your presence in the Chambers, Sandaime-sama." The Third Hokage merely took a drag from his pipe and calmly released the smoke into the air. He had a good feeling about what the meeting was about. The old man had informed the Elders, Clan Heads and Civilian Representatives that the third member of Team Seven was a Konoha-born male that was trained outside of the village for his safety until it was time for him to return. This, of course, was met with many questions and demands to know why he didn't think to inform them of the status of a future ninja. Well, the Civilians did anyway. The Clan Heads were skeptical but only asked the name of the boy. Danzo was silent but you could see the wheels spinning in his mind as he pieced together what Hiruzen was saying versus what he was not saying. Homura and Koharu threw in that they want a full interrogation to ensure the boy's loyalty.
Finally tired of the back and forth, Sarutobi told them that he will give the boy a probationary sentence for up until he starts C-rank missions. He will have the teen monitored in order to ease the minds of the Council. Said people calmed down slightly and "asked" that they be kept informed of any actions of this mysterious "Katsuro".
Seeing as how the Council has called for him, he can only look forward to what complaints they have against young Katsuro.
The monkey summoner was getting too old for this.
"Very well. I will be there momentarily." The ANBU nodded and disappeared.
When the Third Hokage made it to the Council room's doors, two of his shinobi opened the door for him and closed it when he fully crossed the threshold. The old man took his place and the head of the circular table.
"Good morning, Lord Hokage. Please excuse us for calling you so abruptly." A councilman greeted. The Hokage nodded.
"Very well. Now, may I ask what this meeting is about?"
"It is about Katsuro-san. We have a few concerns that we would like to address." A woman this time brought forth.
"And that is?"
"There have been reports of the boy using some sort of portal to travel. It seems that whenever someone tries to follow him to his place of residence, he seemingly disappears. It is in random places, too. How do we know the boy is truly loyal to Konoha if he has an ability that allows such transportation?" Councilman A questioned. Many of the other people in the room were also voicing their disapproval to the potential "threat".
Hiruzen raised his hand to silence the room's occupants, "While I am aware of one of his abilities, he has assured me that he only uses it to return to his home in a pocket dimension. He has a home lot in that dimension and the only ones with access to it are his trainer and his lover." The old man calmly explained.
"And how do we know they won't bring harm to our home?" A blonde-haired woman with emerald green eyes questioned.
"To be honest, we don't. I have questioned Katsuro-kun about his trainer's possible intentions toward Konoha, but he said that the man could "care less" about the operations of this village." There were a few angry and put-off dispositions and murmurs going around until Danzo finally spoke.
"Then what of the lover?" His gravely voice intoned. Sarutobi gave him a glance before sighing.
"Sadly, Katsuro-kun dodged that question and adamantly refused to answer."
"Then I say we bring him in for questioning. Having a potential threat to our village is unacceptable and needs to be dealt with immediately." The blonde woman whose name is Mebuki Haruno called.
Many of the other civilians did so as well. Many of the Clan Heads were also nodding their approval though one Shikaku Nara was actually trying not to nod off. Inoichi Yamanaka and Choza Akimichi were trying to get him to stay awake to which the scarred man mumbled a 'troublesome' before propping his head upon a hand. Tsume Inuzuka was yawning and rubbing her eyes, secretly jealous of her ninken, Kuromaru, who was sleeping by her feet. Hiashi Hyūga was as presentable and stoic as ever. Shibi Aburame was the same though Tsume believes he's also fighting sleep with how his shades were very slightly crooked upon his nose.
Hiruzen barely suppressed a sigh and signaled to one of the many ANBU hidden in the room to escort the teen to the room. The Council spoke amongst themselves as they waited.
It wasn't long before the animal masked shinobi opened the door and ad let the room's topic of discussion in and left again with the slight sound of wind.
Katsuro walked further in and laid eyes on the village's leader.
"Good morning, Hokage-sama," he greeted. The old man smiled and returned the greeting.
"I apologize for the impromptu summoning, young Katsuro, but the Council still have some concerns about your... loyalty to the village. Will you answer any questions they have truthfully?" Katsuro scanned the room. He could feel the slight hostility and bigotry in the civilian half of the room. The shinobi side had more curiosity and slight boredom, not that he could blame them. And the Elders were a bit more harder to discern though they were attentive.
Katsuro shrugged. "Sure. What do you want to know?"
"Who is your romantic partner?" Was the first question thrown out. Katsuro tilted his head.
"A black-haired male that is about 7 to 8 years my senior." He answered boringly. A few of the councilmen twitched at the uninformative response.
"That is not enough. And why a man?" A woman sneered.
"I prefer the company of men over women."
"Don't you have any wish to have a family of your own?"
"Of course. At some point in my life, I will talk to my Mates about starting a family of our own." Danzo immediately latched onto this.
"Mates? Do you plan on having a harem? If so, how can you do that with your preference of the same sex?" Katsuro looked him in the eye with utter conviction swirling in his blue depths.
"It is possible for men to have children."
It was dead silent in the room.
Until chaos erupted.
"W-WHAT?!"
"How—"
"What sort of blasphemy—"
"Where did you—"
"—completely ridiculous—"
"—inconceivable—"
Many insults and outraged comments were creating a cacophony of noise as the men and women tried to be heard over one another. The shinobi were staring wide-eyed at the young man not moving an inch despite the spiting words dripping from the civilians' mouths.
Shikaku, Shibi, and Hiashi all had stunned yet calculating demeanors; Tsume and Inoichi's jaws were dropped; Chouza nearly spit out the cookies he was eating; and the Elders were sitting up at attention while studying the teen's confident stance.
"Everyone quiet down!" The voice of their leader rang above their voices. The Council went silent as they paid heed to the old man. Said man was also reeling at the information that the Uzumaki gifted. He knew there were several attempts to figure out a way to give same sex couples children of their own blood but had come up with nothing. The fact that this young man was so confident that his spouses could birth children for him was baffling indeed.
"Katsuro-kun. You seem so sure of this. Could you please explain to the Council why you claim for men to be able to carry offspring?" The dual-haired teen sighed and ran a hand through his currently loose hair.
"Unfortunately, that information is something I cannot indulge in."
"And why not!? Are you actually some sort of enemy of Konoha? Is that why you can't tell us!" The blonde Haruno shouted. Katsuro glared sharply at her.
"No. I am not an enemy of this village." 'As long as you dont make me one.' The stray thought traveled through his mind.
"Then tell us who you are. There has been no one in our village's documents that even mentioned someone named 'Katsuro' being born or even raised here." The Nara Head finally spoke up with some of the other shinobi nodding in agreement.
Katsuro looked to Hiruzen and the old man nodded. The teen slowly slipped his mask down to reveal his birthmarks and opened his cloak. He channeled some chakra and an intricate seal appeared on his abdomen.
"I was born here with the name of Naruto Uzumaki. The jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Yoko—" he was cut off when the panic set in.

I tried to get the ones I'm most familiar with into the "Pack" because there are some characters I haven't observed recently in the anime like Toneri and Boruto (procrastinating so hard that I never reached their introductions into the anime (though I read a few fics with Boruto in it to get a good grasp of his character), blasphemy right?), Idate, Sumaru, Aoba, Ranmaru, Yukimaru and Menma. I, honestly, don't know what I want to do with Nagato, and Sai creeps me out though his behavior is a given. Yashamaru is...eh? Lee... I just couldn't get myself to do it (-_-;) Suigetsu was okay but I wasn't feeling him. I could put Sasori and Deidara as Servants... we'll see. Yamato... • • •(O_O)• • • I. Just... *coughcough* Anyway. That's it. The Servants and/or Pets may have additions depending on what I feel or if I get some helpful input about how I can implement someone else. Please please please please PLEASE tell me what you think on Zabuza.
Until next time!
