Review Responses:
Bednarczykmiki: And make sure you stock pile on weapons, because like a Boss from BotW and TotK, your weapons gonna break within 10-30 swings.
Scheffinator: LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!
Jebest4781: Thank you.
Gamelover41592: Thank you, and this is Thriller!
StrongGuy159: Thank you.
MisterWriter1994: We shall see why Karen messaged Naruto.
DaftMerc39: Sadly, it is out of Charlie's range of authority, but at least Naruto tried. Shikimaru sneezed because Charlie quoted his 'Troublesome' line. Don't feel bad about Naruto going to a bar in the middle of the night in enemy territory.
ShadowBloodedge9396: I am not actually a fan of Halloween. Don't hate it, just don't like the scary aspect. I suffer from anxiety, and I am unmedicated so… yeah. OH, you, that one-shot will happen soon enough, but there is some stuff in the way first. Business first, pleasure later.
MichaelTheFox: Karen is the brains. Naruto is the muscle. Besides, they will eventually be able to bounce off of each other easily. They both are loving people after all.
Yami Luna Kitsune: This Naruto grew up in a slightly better environment than Canon Naruto. Yes, I kept my cards close to my chest when it came to Kurama's political protection and a possible immunity, but as shown, Charlie's range of authority doesn't go that far into it. You don't think Riser can be Ganondorf? He is TALL, Ganondorf is TALL. Matatabi actually doesn't own a bar, she owns a motel with Yugito in Sloth.
StarDustDragonknight: Agreed, but at this point, Naruto is ready to face the consequences if it means keeping his family safe from this kind of threat.
Freedomringer: LOL, I didn't notice I did that for Jayjay and Vortex. Yeah, Naruto is all kinds of stressed. Don't worry, his wives have a plan… it concerns a certain Naughty Nun.
ICE: Never seen that one.
MEATBICYCLE: LOL, Nice. Agreed, Naruto isn't that fucking stupid to go alone and knows Millie is willing to go along quietly, not being loud and obnoxious. Yeah, if/when shit hits the fan, Charlie can at least be able to help them and possible keep death off the table. Yeah, Kisame is actually difficult for me at this time to incorporate, but I am trying to find a way to get him in.
DireWolf1412: Enjoy.
Nicholas: Tamamo loved the get-well card. You'll like this one too.
Ravage88atlas: It is very hush hush for sure. Afterall, their target IS a Marquis, who are lower than the Sins, but still powerful demons in their own rights.
Guest: Thank you.
Marshman101: I wanted to get to drawing a Sexy Oogie Boogie Verosika, but work got in the way. As of yet, Vaggie's identity as an Angel is safe.
Yenke: I have a hard time with the Venom Movies. In the moment, I am enjoying them, but afterwards, when hype wears off, I feel conflicted.
Sniperbro1998: You will love ONE very specific scene, and I want you to read the author's note, please, you'll probably enjoy it. LOL, Yeah, Charlie made Temari throttle Shikimaru, have you gotten sneezed on when you're going in for a kiss? It's fucking gross. Well, Karen is a Cat Sinner and has three kids: thus, PussyMama.
Biran: Glad you like the art, we worked very hard on it.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HELLUVA BOSS!
"Hey" = Speaking
'Hey' = Thinking
'Hey' = Memory
"Hey" = To be Determined
Chapter 128: The Mash
Naruto exited Bee's Mansion… only to walk back in.
He walked up to Millie, and gently shook her awake.
"Hm? Wha…" Millie questioned as she sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"Mom, I need a ride to Lust."
"Just go on your own." Millie grumbled as she went to go back to sleep.
"I don't know how to drive."
Millie's eyes snapped.
"You're going to get your license." She snipped as she threw the covers off.
Grabbing Leviathan, Millie followed Naruto, who grabbed his Nuada sword, into the garage before they left for Lust.
The skies began to darken even more, mist filling the Rings of Hell shortly before an uncommon rain began to pour.
Hours Later, Lust Ring, Twin Tails Bar…
Karen sat in the bar.
Jazz styled music played softly in the background, like an old detective movie.
Bar patrons minding their own businesses as Karen smoked a cigarette, finishing it as Arnold sat down, two mugs of beer in his hands.
"Here." He said, handing one to Karen, lifting his own mug to his lips, taking a deep drink.
Karen put out her cigarette, exhaling the smoke before she took her own drink.
Both Arnold and Karen were trying to be as discrete as possible, wearing heavily baggy clothing and hooded jackets.
"Yo, PussyMama." The bartender called out. "We got two people looking for you. A hound and an imp."
Karen gestured to the bartender to let them in as she put her mug down.
Naruto and Millie walked over to the table, sitting down.
Karen and Arnold looked at Naruto and Millie's weapons, as did many more patrons.
Millie drew her axe and Naruto his sword, putting them on the table.
Karen followed suit, putting her shotgun on the table as Arnold put a pair of Brass Knuckles on the table.
"So… you're PussyMama?" Naruto asked as he pulled up the beer list.
"Refer to me as such." Karen said as she lit up another cigarette. "This," She gestured to Arnold. "Is Knuckleduster. You are?"
"Poonhound is my name." Naruto said, gesturing to his mother, who was giving him a look of confusion and disturbed. "This little lady is called Impzilla."
Millie hit her son in the arm, making him bit his tongue to not make any sound.
"Well, Poonhound, Impzilla." Arnold… I mean, Knuckleduster ordered another beer, Naruto ordering one himself, Millie staying sober. "We have much to discuss."
She needed to drive home.
Seeing that the group of four was being co-operable, everyone returned to their own business.
"So," Naruto… Poonhound said as he got his beer. "Why did the esteemed PussyMama and Knuckleduster call us here? Your message seemed desperate."
"FoxChild. I am doing this for her." PussyMama replied. "I'm a mother, and I raised her like my own. Now that I know she has more family outside of…" PussyMama deadpanned as she thought about her 'boss'. "Her… I am willing to stake my life in killing The Madam."
Millie and Naruto understood.
Being parents themselves, they'd do anything to protect their own.
"You mentioned the Toad Yakuza, Snake Mafia, and Slug Cartel. What do you know about them, beside us needing their assistance." Impzilla asked narrowing her eyes.
PuzzyMama smoked her cigarette, exhaling the smoke.
It didn't bother anyone at the table.
"Because, the toad who attacked your home with Crow was the former leader of the Yakuza, his son took over from what I was able to find out." PussyMama informed. "They will be willing to help. The Slug Cartel are close with the Toad Yakuza, so they will probably help. BUT…" PussyMama drank the rest of her beer. "The Snake Mafia are the ones you NEED to be careful with."
"A backstabbing, lying crowd that bunch is." Knuckleduster scoffed. "Venomous too…"
Poonhound swallowed beer and the lump in his throat.
"So, you…" Poonhound covered his mouth as he burped. "you expect us to do this with a Marquis on our back?"
"She is currently hospitalized." Knuckleduster explained. "With how bad her injuries are, she should be gone for a while. Take advantage of that time."
"I see." Poonhound said, scratching his chin. "Huh… Fuck…"
Impzilla elbowed her son.
Poonhound winced, but the pain helped clear his mind.
"Alright, but what do I get out of this?"
"Excuse me?" PussyMama asked.
"I think you heard me perfectly." Poonhound replied. "What do I get from helping you? I mean, I am putting myself and my family in the sight of the Marquis and if we attack Madam then His Highness shall be on our ass."
"Well…" PussyMama held out her hand. "I'll give you my soul. You get stronger as an Overlord, right?"
PoonHound… okay, Naruto's ears perked up.
"Hmmm…"
Millie glanced at her son subtly.
'Mighty convenient.' Millie thought as she returned her attention to the Sinners.
She didn't trust them as far as she could throw them… which was pretty far.
Arnold held out his hand.
"You can have mine too. And think about it this way, kid." Arnold said as he put his beer down. "You have two loyal spies inside the enemy's ranks."
'Good point.' Naruto thought as he tapped his beer mug with his false fingers.
He pondered for several minutes, to the point when he made his decision, Millie was eating buffalo wings.
"Alright, let's do this." Naruto said as he took the hands of the Sinners as orange magic began to swell around Naruto's prosthetic hand.
Burnt orange kanji swirled around his hand as he gripped their hands, the magic intention being the same as it was with Fuu. The magic that covered Naruto's hand spread across and entered Karen and Arnold's bodies. The magic spread, coating them in a shroud of before fading into their bodies, and on the back of their hands was a black spiral looking tattoo.
"Well… I didn't expect that…" Arnold said as he looked himself over, flexing slightly. "Did you make me stronger?"
"My Deals aren't like other Deals." Naruto explained. "I like to stand on even terms. But enough about that, give me the locations of the Toad Yakuza, Slug Cartel, and Snake Mafia and I'll keep in contact discretely, PussyMama, Knuckleduster."
"Alright, boss." Karen said, her allegiance and loyalty now belonging to Naruto.
She pulled out a flash drive.
"It's all on there." Karen said as she got another beer. "Now… let's celebrate to our new beginnings."
Naruto, Arnold, Karen, Millie raised cups (the Imp drinking water) and suddenly, Naruto's bloodshot eyes were opening.
He was in the passenger seat, Millie was pulling into the parking lot of Bee's Mansion.
Around his neck was a lanyard with the flash drive.
"Someone's awake." Millie said with irritation.
Naruto grumbled as he unbuckled his seatbelt… only to get Leviathan's handle outside his head, courtesy of Millie hitting him with it.
"Next time you wake me up in the middle of the night, you will receive worse." Millie said as she opened her car door.
She loved spending time with her son, but waking her up while she wanted to sleep, not even Naruto was exempt from her wrath.
Naruto grumbled as he got out of the car.
His ears twitched several times.
"Do you hear music?" Naruto asked as they opened the doors.
*Bobby Pickett: The Monster Mash*
Everyone was dressed as a Universal Monster.
Bee was the Wolf Man.
Blitz was the Monster.
Stolas was Prof. Frankenstein.
Octavia was the Romanian Mother from the Wolf Man.
Riser and Gaara were Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Shino and Fuu were the Phantom of the Opera and Christine Daaé.
Verosika was the Mummy, sexually wrapped up in bandages.
Loona was the Invisible Man.
Andromeda was dressed as the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Moxxie was Kay Lawerence, the female love interest from Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Jayjay was Mina Harker from Dracula.
Vortex was Count Dracula.
"~I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster, from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise~"
Stolas acted 'Amazed' at the 'Monster' as Blitz flexed, smiling like a doofus.
"~he did the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
(He did the Mash) it caught on in a flash
(He did the Mash) he did the Monster Mash~"
Jayjay 'collapsed' feeling 'vapors' as Vortex 'drank of her Blood'.
"~From my laboratory in the Castle east
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes~"
Bee 'transformed' into a werewolf in front of Octavia, who was 'Gasping in fear'.
"~they did the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
(They did the Mash) it caught on in a flash
(They did the Mash) they did the Monster Mash~"
Riser and Gaara were linked arm and arm, 'fighting' for control for the main body.
"~The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf-Man, Dracula, and his son~"
Andromeda 'swam' through the air, 'Chasing' Moxxie as Loona 'stalked' the people who conspired against her research and later, world domination.
"~The scene was rocking, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, The Crypt-Kicker Five~"
Verosika shambled slowly through the room, acting like a classic mummy.
"~they played the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) it was a graveyard smash
(They played the Mash) it caught on in a flash
(They played the Mash) they played the Monster Mash~"
Fuu 'Sang' for Shino, as the Phantom, begging his beloved to 'Sing' for him.
"~Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"~"
Everyone pointed at Vortex, who laughed as he bared his fangs.
"~it's now the Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) and it's a graveyard smash
(It's now the Mash) it's caught on in a flash
(It's now the Mash) it's now the Monster Mash~"
"What am I watching?" Millie asked her son as they stood in the door frame.
"~Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this Mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you~"
"Absolute insanity, Mom." Naruto answered. "Pure… Insanity."
"~then you can Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) and do my graveyard smash
(Then you can Mash) you'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can Mash) then you can Monster Mash~"
Everyone of the dressed up individuals got together, each one singing in unison… except Andromeda, but she tried, howling adorably.
"~Mash good!
Easy, Igor, you impetuous, young boy
Mash good! (Monster Mash)~"
As the song concluded with the 'monsters' fighting, many of them actually started fighting.
Naruto and Millie watched, dropping their weapons, which clanked loudly on the ground.
Stupefied.
Completely stupidities.
"Oh, hey, Naruto, Millie~" Octavia said as she looked toward the door, having felt a breeze.
"MILLIE~" Moxxie cheered, jumping to his wife, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Two Hours Later, Pride Ring, Dry Fuck Studios…
"We got this." Naruto said as he held up the flash drive.
Freshly showered and dressed, Naruto was in front of his family, having finished explaining what he and Millie did the night before.
"A flash drive?" Shino asked, quirking an eyebrow.
He and Gaara wanted to see where Naruto and his family lived before they returned to their masters to further their training.
"It holds the locations of potential allies." Naruto said, putting the flash drive on the table. "They will help us kill Kurama."
"Kurama?"
"Kurama?"
Gaara and Shino quirked their eyebrows and looked at each other.
"Isn't that the bitch who was being posed as a mannequin…" Gaara asked, pointing at Shino, who pointed back.
"While dressed as a maid." Shino finished.
"What?"
"We met this person you're talking about." Shino said as he wrapped his arm around Fuu's waist.
"She was 'sealed'?" Gaara asked Shino.
"Yeah…"
"Okay, so… yeah, I met her too… some time ago." Naruto said as he thought about it.
Flashback…
"Indeed." A sensual voice said from behind the group of four. "Princess Charlie doesn't stand on ceremony."
Naruto and Octavia moved and turned around to see the speaker.
She was as tall as an average height woman.
She wore kimono, garnet red with black and gold design on the sleeves. A black obi wrapped around her waist.
Her LONG red hair was tied up similar to a geisha with hair pins and accessories.
*Wano Geisha Nico Robin from One Piece*
She had wide birthing hips, moderate sized breasts with mahogany lipstick on her full lips and eyeshadow.
But the most captivating thing in Naruto's opinion were her blood red eyes with slit pupils and her large fox ears and tails.
They were a blood-orange shade, swaying behind her innocently, accenting her pale skin, due to her having a human with fox features appearance.
In her left hand, a folded fan. In her right, a long smoking pipe.
"Thank you… um…"
"Kurama," Kurama introduced with a smile. "I am the new noble. Your father may have mentioned it."
Flashback End…
"She's was hot." Gaara said as if he read Naruto's mind.
"Was?" Naruto asked, everyone hearing this question and leaning in, their eyes locked on the raccoon sinner.
"Well, from what Shukaku told me, Kurama's business was bombed recently, and she was sent to Sloth for recovery." Gaara explained. "She was badly injured…"
Meanwhile, Sloth Ring, Belphegor's Hospital…
The doctors and nurses stood over Kurama, undoing her bandages.
"Oh… oh… fuck…"
"How horrible…"
"Shit, that smells…"
One nurse doubled over and violently vomited.
Kurama lay on the table.
Half of her face, her left shoulder, her entire arm, a portion of her torso, and her upper thigh to her knee was burned.
There was a mustard yellow line connecting the undamaged flesh to the damaged flesh.
Said damaged flesh was an ashy red and gray, random and terrible blistering having been popped all over.
Four of her tails had all their hair singed off, leaving four of her tails hairless.
Half of her hair and her left hear were hairless, the remaining amount of hair on her head having been cut short before bandaging.
Her left eyelid was shriveled up, exposing more of her eyeball.
Kurama looked like a more extremely burned version of DC Comic's Harvey 'Two-Face' Dent.
Kurama was awake.
Rage pumped through her veins as the doctors dried off her wounds as carefully as possible before they applied medicine, ointments, and then wrapped them in new bandages.
Each breath she took was filled with agonizing pain from her injuries.
Each subtle movement sent spasms of torture through her spine, and limbs.
Blinking currently was not possible for her left eye, meaning she needed eyedrops at regular intervals.
Her thoughts pushed through the agony and was laser focused.
'Whoever had the balls to do this… I'll make sure you suffer more than I am right now… after I rape the fuck out of you, destroying your spirit and breaking your body!' Kurama promised, not even feeling the scalpel carving away the blistered skin that could cause infection.
Skip, Evening, Pride Ring, Dry Fuck Studios…
"So, tomorrow…" Naruto said as he prepared to walk Shino and Gaara out with Fuu. "I'll be going to Greed to talk to the Toad Yakuza."
"Okay, talk more about it when you get back…" Millie said as her son and Fuu left with Shino and Gaara.
"You really think this is gonna work?" Verosika asked as she bounced Andy on her knee.
"My heart says yes, but my brain says no." Moxxie replied.
He knew his son was strong, especially with three sinner contracts, but the fact their target WAS a marquis… it was still scary to think about.
Dry Fuck Studios Gates…
"Fuck… it always feels like we are always saying goodbye…" Naruto said, hands in his jacket pockets as he, Fuu, Shino, and Gaara stood at the gate.
"Yeah… that's fucking weird the author does this, a lot." Fuu said nonchalantly.
"Author?" Gaara asked in utter confusion.
"Don't… she…" Naruto face palmed. "She does this a lot."
Fuu smiled like she didn't do anything weird.
She was pulled from her thoughts when Shino pulled her into a hug, kissing her deeply.
Fuu threw her arms around him.
They passionately kissed, adding some tongue from their enthusiasm.
Naruto and Gaara respectfully stayed quiet.
"We part," He suavely said as he released his girlfriend. "For now, but our love forever binds us."
Shino released Fuu and turned to Naruto, holding out his hand.
"See you soon." Naruto said as he shook Shino's hand.
"Oh, I'm not asking for a hand shake." Shino told Naruto. "I want to make a deal, like you did with Fuu."
"What?" Naruto asked, feeling a rush of panic due to the fact he WAS talking to the boyfriend of the first sinner he contracted.
"Fuu told us last night." Gaara informed Naruto, holding out his own hand. "I wanna make a contract too. Fuu did say you make balanced contracts, so lets all get stronger."
Naruto looked his bros in their eyes, smiled with a sigh, took their hands as orange magic spread from him to them.
Fuu felt another rush.
The night before she thought the rush she felt was a figment of her imagination through her dream.
Now, she knew it was when Naruto made a deal.
Lust Ring…
Karen and Arnold were grocery shopping with Katie, Cory, and Zack.
The two Sinner adults felt tingles of magic spasm in their bodies.
'Hm… must be Poonhound doing something.' Arnold thought as he walked over to keep Cory from Glitching through the wall.
'Keep up the good work kid, you're gonna need the power.' Karen thought as she and Katie picked out vegetables.
Zack was running around, being a brat.
Meanwhile…
"Stay safe you guys." Naruto and Fuu said as Gaara and Shino left, Shino growing wings similar to Fuu and Gaara moving sand under his feet, making a floating platform.
The two took to the skies as they left.
"Come on, we got a lot to do tomorrow." Naruto said, regaining his focus on the mission at hand.
Negotiations with three gang syndicates.
Starting with the Toad Yakuza.
Chapter 128, DONE!
HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN!
I am going to be working on Halloween, which I why I am posting this chapter early.
Now, we get further down to business.
Karen and Arnold: Sold their souls, Naruto's spies on the Marquis Kurama.
Shino and Gaara: Sold their souls, but strengthened their bonds with Naruto and Fuu.
I have been waiting for these two events to happen.
Now: they have.
Also, everyone singing the Monster Mash was an idea I had for last chapter, BUT felt Thriller was better. So, instead of disregarding the idea entirely, I put it here.
And Kurama? She is still in the hospital.
What?
You want a visual?
You filthy animal, and if YOU hate Kurama, please check it out my Deviantart page because my GF Boo1194 and I drew burn damaged Kurama if you want to see her suffering. Look for Boo1194, and she should be near the front of the gallery section.
If you enjoyed the chapter, leave a review, even if you hated it because it helps me become a better author.
