"Bang... you dodged that, even though it's invisible."
"Well, yeah, I can still feel it coming." Naruto stated as a hole appeared in a tree behind him. The trunk of the tree was blasted away, and it toppled over. His new uniform was... okay to move in, but Makima wanted to get a feel for his power, so she wanted a quick spar with him before breakfast.
"My uniform looks good on you." Makima stated as she pointed a finger at him, and he vanished from her eyes when she shot an invisible blast of ethereal energy at him. The second, the very second it left her finger, the tree was blasted apart and toppled over. "You know, you are immortal, you don't have to dodge." Makima explained as Naruto touched the back of her head with his finger.
"Bang."
"Very funny." Makima was less amused by him doing that, because it wasn't a power he had. He was fast enough to get behind her and use her own move against her, even though he lacked the move itself. At the same time, as much as she wasn't amused, it was good to know that she had gotten a decent gauge of his power in how it was held back when he was in the city. Now that they were in the forest, and the trees were built sturdy in the ground, he could go so much faster than he did when surrounded by more delicate buildings and windows.
She turned around and swung her leg at him.
He wasn't there.
"Bang bang."
"Even less funny." Makima felt his finger at the back of her head again. So just as quickly as she had turned around, he had run around her and did the same thing as before. "Please, fight back a little." Makima stated as she jumped up high, 75 feet in the air kind of high, and pointed her finger gun down below.
He wasn't there.
"Bang bang bang." Naruto was in the air right behind her, and she smirked and twisted her body to meet up. In the air, he wouldn't be able to move with his super speed, without a foot hold to get and move around with. She saw his face was not panicked though, but still she wanted to land at least one attack.
"Bang." Makima was surprised when he still dodged.
He put his foot on her stomach and kicked off on her, jumping and dodging the attack while kicking her back down to the ground with enough force to shake the trees around her. The wound would have been fatal were she not herself, and Naruto had not held back on the force behind the kick. She stood up and wiped some dirt off of her once pristine uniform, and she looked around the forest.
Naruto was nowhere to be found.
She pointed her finger behind her, where he was likely to appear.
Naruto was now standing in front of her with his finger in front of her mouth.
"Bang." Naruto joked again, so she could only close her eyes and nod her head slightly. It was a straight spar, meaning no outside help and no powers that relied on others. She couldn't use the humans or devils she had under her control for this spar, which did severely weaken her combat abilities overall, but the simple fact was that Naruto was proving that he was her superior in combat.
Makima raised a hand in surrender to end the spar.
"You know, beating me in this spar just makes me want to find something I can beat you at. Well, we've been out here for a full 2 hours, so we should eat breakfast. Then I should take a shower. I've got to drop off my huskies with Aki and a few other trusted coworkers." Makima had hand picked her most trusted subordindates for the purpose of taking care of her beloved dogs. That way she could rely on them to be well fed and looked after.
Naruto rolled up the sleeves of his pants.
"Why are your legs so long?" Naruto rolled the pants up so that they weren't going past his ankles.
"I might be a devil, but I am still a woman. I'm taller than you, and the ratio of my legs to body is longer than yours. Still, out sizes are very close to each other overall. I didn't have a suit ready for you ahead of time." Makima saw his shoes, and she raised an eyebrow when she saw that he was still wearing sandles instead of business shoes. The uniform looked a little off without proper shoes. Well, she did not have shoes in his size anyway, seeing as while their overall bodies were similar in size, his feet were still slightly bigger than hers.
The uniform as a whole was unisex in design, so he didn't look like he was wearing women's clothes. She did give him her personal clothes, because they had her smell on them, and she liked the fact that he was wearing her scent. It almost felt like she was marking something that belonged to her with her scent.
-At the Apartment-
Alone.
Makima leaned forward with her head against the shower wall, water running down her back as she thought about her current situation. She wasn't a fan that she was giving up most of her dogs, but she had gained a great asset from the deal. The fact that Naruto saw that the deal only benefitted her and made her give up something to make it fair had been a power move on his part.
'He's not smart, but I shouldn't underestimate his intelligence either. I should learn more about his background, the background that caused him to become stronger than me.' Makima didn't like being weaker than somebody, but there was no getting around that issue. She didn't really think there was a specific devil that could challenge Naruto's power.
She now had a 6th Sense.
While it didn't increase her battle power, Naruto's heart in her chest was not affected by the erasure of a 6th sense. This meant that part of her body, her current heart, was able to read the flow of power. She was now able to gauge Naruto's power with a feeling in her heart, through the faintest of connections the heart had with it's original owner.
'I'm much smarter than him, but he's not easy to predict. I can't claim to be better than him at that.' Makima was better educated than Naruto, so she could claim to be superior to him in that and use it to dictate some kind of relationship terms to establish some kind of control. Yet, with how unpredictable Naruto was, even if she was smarter than him, it was hard to say that he would ever fall for his manipulations either.
He saw through her crows and rats, and was able to track her down across a city easily, and then she played into his hands.
Intelligence: Overall Equal
Power: Naruto was Superior
'I do have my feminine charm I can use. He's young, a teenager, so I doubt he has sexual experience. If I use sex, then I can claim to be his superior there, since I do doubt a guy as strong as him had the time to develop sexual skills.' Makima didn't want to make a raw assumptions, but she would hazard a guess that with his strength, he was inexperienced with women. If she could dominate him sexually, then that would make their relationship overall equal.
It would change their dynamic to allow her wiggle room.
Intelligence: Overall Equal, with Different Intelligence types.
Power: Naruto was Superior
Sex: She was Superior
That would change their relationship from something that favored Naruto, to something that favored neither of them. If he could dominate her in combat, then she could dominate him in sex, and neither of them could get the edge over the other in intelligence. He was too unpredictable, and she was too smart. At the same time, if she used sex to dominate him, she would need to sacrifice in order to do so.
'If I make our relationship sexual, then that could backfire on me. It means that I wouldn't be able to use sex appeal to manipulate my other subordinates as easily, without risking upsetting Naruto.' Makima could see the benefits and downsides to sexual dominance. If she used sex to handle Naruto, and then he caught her using sex appeal on other male to manipulate them, then there was the chance that could sour her relationship with Naruto.
That was not ideal.
Naruto was stronger than the Chainsaw Devil, he was a person who she wanted to be allies with more than anyone else. Even if her sisters showed up, she doubted that their combined powers would be able to take down Naruto. It was the ultimate trump card she could play to keep her sisters in check. So she did not want to sour her relationship with Naruto, but she didn't want to give up one of the most powerful tools she had to manipulate men either.
'If I use sex on Naruto, it would be best to avoid using it on others. I'm an attractive woman, and my sex appeal is no small thing... am I really willing to give up that as a tool, in order to make Naruto my equal, and not my superior?' Makima looked up towards the running water falling down on her. Part of why she wanted Naruto to live with her, was so that she could get a close eye in observing a weakness he might have in his personality.
Naruto knew this though.
She knew that he was aware she wanted him to live with her, not out of the goodness of her heart, but so that she could keep him under a strict watch. She didn't know if he would relax around her enough to show weakness. Also, if she manipulated him using a weakness, and he found out she was manipulating him via that method, that would sour their relationship too.
Thus, she had a problem.
Sex was the only kind of manipulation where she could be upfront and honest about using it to manipulate Naruto without him getting upset with her, due to the fact he was an inexperienced teenager and hormonal. At the same time, she almost didn't want to use sex, because using it meant giving up one of her most powerful tools for manipulating her Devil Hunters who worked under her. She had crafted a very sexualy appealing and in-control persona to them, one that many of her male subordinates had fallen in love with.
Hormonal Manipulation.
Naruto was a man, meaning if she could have sex with him, then his brain would start to produce vasopressin, which was a strong territorial hormone in males that resulted in men developing strong protective instincts towards the females who caused them to produce that hormone. At the same time, there was risk in this type of hormonal manipulating. Since she was a humanoid devil, and had human biology overall. If she had sex with Naruto, her brain would also release oxytocin, which would cause her to develop a stronger bond to him as well.
'So, I can make Naruto more instinctual protective of me, but the side effect would be I risk becoming more attached to him. Also, using sex with him would mean abandoning that as a tool against other males.' Makima didn't have many tools she could use against Naruto.
She wasn't strong enough to force him to do anything.
She didn't really want to fight him in a battle of wits, because she couldn't predict him.
She knew emotionally manjpulating him was risky, since it could sour their relationship.
She believed manipulating him with underhanded methods were a bad idea.
Sex appeal or Strong Friendship.
'The problem is, I've never had a friend once in my life. I don't even understand the concept of being somebodies friend. Also, Naruto stated that he would fight his friend if they didn't agree with him. Meaning that friendship could lead to me fighting him if he doesn't agree with my actions.' Makima didn't want to reach that road. "Naruto, are you out ehre?" Makima called out through the walls.
"I'm not peeking, you were just taking awhile, so I was seeing how long you were going to take."
"Sounds like somebody was just caught trying to peek to me." Makima teased Naruto through the door of the shower, a small smile coming over her face when she was met with silence. She had the vague feeling that Naruto was a pervert, so sexual manipulating would be more effective than risking going the friendship route, and making Naruto into a potential opponent.
If she could get Naruto AND the Chainsaw Devil on her side, then she the world was pretty much already conquered by her will. She wouldn't have to declare war on the world to make it happen. She could even keep her contract to Naruto, and allow her sisters to remain uneaten by the chainsaw.
"If I wanted to peek on you, then you would never know I was there!"
"Sounds like somebody is very sure of himself, well then, if you're so sure I can't catch you, go ahead and try your best to peek. If I catch you though..." Makima trailed off.
"I'm not going to peek on you!"
"Well, that's too bad, guess you're not man enough to try it." Makima issued the challenge, and she was met with silence as Naruto walked away from the other side of the door. She did smirk in that very small win she got over Naruto. After her humiliating performance during their spar, this small win was enough to bring her mood back up.
The challenge was issued all the same.
She wondered if Naruto would take the bait.
-With Naruto-
'She's trying to use sexy stuff to manipulate me.' Naruto thought to himself.
"Are you going to let her?" Kurama asked Naruto.
"Why not, since I'm immortal now, it would be pretty sad to start a relationship with a normal woman. I mean, I'll have to watch them grow old and die right. I don't want to do that. If Makima wants to seduce me, she can try." Naruto stated with a slight smirk.
"She just caught you peeking on her."
"She doesn't know I was peeking, she was teasing me as a way to taunt me. There is a big difference, if she had actually caught me peeking, the vibe would have been different." Naruto laughed at the thought of Makima catching him peeking so easily. He had peeked on her when she showered last night without getting caught, and it was pure luck that she figured out he was there this morning, and she didn't know for certain he was peeking.
"So, a challenge?"
"Makima can't beat me in strength, she knows that. Also, if I had to guess... call it a long shot, but I think she doesn't know me well enough to predict me. She isn't sure that she is better than me in brain stuff." Naruto listed off. "Makima is SUPER manipulative, I get that feeling. The reason she is taking so long in the shower, is because she is plotting how she can manupulate him."
"You're okay with that?"
"I expected the Control devil to try and control me. So, since she can't beat me in a fight, and she doesn't want to ruin our relationship. I bet she wants to beat me in sex, since I'm 17, and she'll be thinking I have no experience-"
"But you actually don't have any experience, you spent your entire life training. You might have mastered sex appeal, but you've never gone farther with a girl than holding hands."
...
"Still, if she uses sex to try and manipulate me, I'm guessing that means she will stop using sex to manipulate other people. Also, I doubt she can beat me in sex."
"She will absolutely control you in sex. I was in Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki, and let me tell you something. Uzumaki can't have sex without being absolutely lost in their lover's embrace. Your kind looks at the ones making love to you, and can't go against them. You loving idiots care about your partners too much. Uzumaki are too emotional to be cold and collected during sex."
...
"Don't... ever tell me about how my mom has sex again." Naruto deadpanned with a twitching eye. "I... really... really don't want to know." Naruto continued on.
"Why not, she was super gentle and allowed Minato to take control. After the time she impaled him with her arm, she was careful to never hurt him."
"Why are you telling me so much about my Mom's sex life... it's gross!" Naruto complained as he covered his ears.
"Because you teased me earlier. So here, have these-"
Images of his mother's sex face went through his mind.
"FUCKING DAMN IT!"
"Have some more. Here are my memories of her taking it doggy style, and have some missionary."
"I am sorry for teasing you, so please stop with this torture!"
Kurama's revenge was never sweeter than in that moment.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
If Makima tries to groom Naruto, it means she can't manipulate Denji with the promise of sex.
Our boy Denji can be saved from the evils that are Makima's tits.
