(A few days later)

A few days have passed ever since the Aslanore group arrived in Wave country, and things have been slightly chaotic for them, but nothing the group couldn't handle.

Naruto, Phyllis, and Yoko had constantly run into these so-called black dog mercenaries every time they went to the bridge or went inside the village. The mercenaries were practically everywhere in the village causing trouble for the populace, especially towards the females. They consistently tried to flirt, and even harass every female they saw, but luckily most of them had been dealt with after an incident the day before.

The particular incident involved a group of black dog merc's trying to harass both Phyllis and Yoko when the group was inside the village. Naruto had reached his breaking point quickly and killed the mercenaries without hesitation. This resulted in a literal massacre, with Naruto and his group finding and killing any black dog mercenary they could find in the village, along with any monsters they had with them.

Fortunately, this event along with a few others, had begun to ignite a small piece of hope in the denizens of Wave country, much to Gato's frustration and Vult's annoyance at having his troops butchered like cattle.

Said duo was in the business tycoon's office, with the midget yelling at the group he hired. "What the hell is going on, Vult?! Not only is that damn bridge builder still alive, but people are starting to get more bold against me! Just what the hell are your mercenaries doing out there?!"

"That's what I'm trying to figure out myself, you short bastard. Everytime I send one of my scouts to see what the hell is going on, I never hear from them again." Vult informed the midget with annoyance in his voice, however that just seemed to make Gato more angry.

"All I hear are excuses, Vult! Whatever is making these changes, I want you or you lackies to handle it now, otherwise I'm docking your pay for this job. I don't care who you send, just get it done!" Gato yelled with anger, but he backed away in fear when Vult had drawn his greatsword and slammed it down on the desk, splitting it in half.

The leader of the black dogs then pointed the tip of his blade at Gato's head, and spoke in a cold tone. "Listen here midget. You may be my employer, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you order me around like trash. Just because you're paying me doesn't mean I won't cut your head off. Is that clear?"

Gato nodded fearfully as Vult sheathed his greatsword. "Good, now I'll only say this once. We'll take care of the problem, since Zabuza is still bedridden, we'll pick up the slack for him until he recovers."

Vult then turned and walked out of the room, leaving the business tycoon alone. As he walked down the hallway of Gato's base, Vult grumbled under his breath. "Cocky little shit. I should just kill the bastard right now and take his money. Whatever, how the hell am I gonna solve this problem. Most of my men are useless, and every scout I send out gets killed. I need someone who's skilled enough to go, but is expendable too. Who could-"

"Hey Vult, you doing alright? You look pretty pissed off." Maia asked with a raised eyebrow as she came up from behind her leader.

Vult looked at the mercenary queen for a brief moment, before he smirked evilly. "Maia, I got a job for you."

"Really? It must be serious if you're asking me. What about Hicks or Kin, wouldn't they be good for the job?" Maia asked.

"Well, you're better suited for this job than those two. Besides, I can only trust you with this job, and no one else." Vult informed the redhead with a smirk.

If Vult was being honest, Maia was starting to become more annoying as of late. At first, it wasn't as bad, but now she was starting to become a thorn in his side. Ever since they had started taking more...questionable jobs, Maia had started questioning the black dogs. Money was money, and if the redhead couldn't see that, then she had no place in the Kuroinu.

Although he would be a bit disappointed that he would be letting a piece of ass like Maia go, it was no skin off his back. To him, and most of the Kuroinu, Maia was only a whore, flaunting that body of hers like she didn't care. And if she did make it back, then she would only get to be a part of something big in the future.

And he most definitely couldn't wait for his plans to be put into motion.


(Scene change: Tazuna's House)

Naruto was very, very annoyed right now.

He and his group had just gotten back from another day inside the village helping the people of wave country, which put a smile on his face as he remembered his encounter with the villagers.

The moment that warmed his heart was when he made a building using his earth magic to make a large house for the orphans living on the streets. He'd given them food, water, a place to stay, and somewhere they could be their age until the whole Gato situation was dealt with.

Yoko could understand why he did it. Naruto was an orphan thanks to her actions on the day of his birth, something she still regrets to this day. Naruto reminded her that he didn't hold anything against the vixen, which made her smile as they headed back to Tazuna's house.

Unfortunately for them, on the way back they ran into team 7, with the group of genin performing the tree walking exercise, all while Kakashi supervised them from underneath a tree while reading his orange book.

On the side, he saw Tiamat looking at the group with disappointment. She made it known when she said that the tree walking exercise was the first thing Naruto learned to control his chakra. This quickly got the attention of a certain duck ass Uchiha, who demanded that he teach him how to do it properly.

And there lies why Naruto was so annoyed right now. He was being demanded by someone weaker than him. Normally he would brush it off and ignore the arrogant prick, but this bastard has been trying to make moves on Yoko, which pissed him off to no end. The pink haired girl who he later found out was named Sakura, didn't help him calm down either, thanks to her screaming like a banshee in his ears.

Wait, no. That would be an insult to the banshee's in the world. Howler monkey? Nope, too basic...

"Are you ignoring me, dobe?" Sasuke growled in anger close to Naruto's face.

Oh right, he was still in a pointless argument with the duck ass. He should probably start paying attention now.

"Yeah, a bit. I've got better things to do than listen to you blaber on about how "great" and "noble" your Uchiha blood is. I'm not gonna lie, I stopped listening from the moment you started talking." Naruto said with an indifferent tone, making Sasuke and Sakura angry.

"You can't talk to Sasuke-kun like that baka! I can guarantee that he's a million times better than you'll ever be!" Sakura screeched, making Naruto, Phyllis, Yoko, and Tiamat wince at the pitched volume.

"Look here, you pathetic fangirl. I don't give a shit how much better you think your darling duck ass is, but I suggest you lower your damn voice. Otherwise, I'll force that mouth open and burn you vocal cords so no one will hear your annoying ass voice again. Do I make myself clear?" Naruto said darkly as a blue aura surrounded his form and his pupils turned to slits, making Sakura quiver in fear as she backed away.

Sasuke immediately looked intrigued by the display of power, and smirked as he got in the blonde's face again. "Listen hear, dobe. You're going to teach me the trick to get up this tree faster along with teaching me those techniques you used to beat Zabuza."

"And why exactly should he do that?" Phyllis asked with narrowed eyes.

"Because I'm an Uchiha. The elite among the elites of Konoha. With that power, I'll surely be able to kill him." Sasuke said darkly at the thought of his brother. Meanwhile, Sakura had stars in her eyes at the sight of her love being so "cool".

The others...not so much. Yoko was already growling at the sight of the pathetic Uchiha, and she was ready to tear him apart.

Phyllis was glaring at the duck butt Uchiha, and was on the verge of drawing her rapier, while a dense blue aura surrounded her form.

But the one who was the most pissed off, was none other than Tiamat. The dragoness was snarling in fury at the arrogant human that dared to demand to learn her magic. There was only one person who she would ever teach her magic to, and that was her mate. And since that spot was already taken forever, there was no way in hell she would ever teach this bag of flesh and meat her dragon slayer magic.

"You've got some nerve demanding to learn my magic, you little shit. I should just burn you alive for even having that thought." Tiamat growled with rage.

"Don't hog all of the fun, Tiamat. I want to rip out his eyes and castrate him." Yoko said while grinning sadistically. She wanted to break the black haired boy, not just because he was demanding she be his wife, but also because he was a part of that cursed clan. And a good Uchiha was a dead Uchiha.

Sasuke was about to speak again, until Naruto's aura flared, nearly sending him to the floor. "I'll tell you what, duck ass. If you manage to beat me in a fight, I'll show you a technique or two."

At that, Sasuke smirked as he was about to speak, until Naruto cut him off, while sporting an evil grin. "But if I win...you'll be at the mercy of my mates behind you. And trust me, they can be pretty sadistic when they want to be~"

Sasuke looked behind him and noticed that Phyllis, Tiamat, and Yoko were giving him murderous looks, making him gulp nervously. "Fine, just be prepared to lose, dobe."

"I wouldn't bet on it." Naruto said lowly in a dark tone, but his mates heard him with their sensitive hearing. He's been wanting to kill the duck ass for a good while now, so this might be his chance to do so.

The duo stood from across each other, with Phyllis acting as the referee. Kakashi stood next to Yoko and Tiamat with help from his crutches and spoke. "I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. If this gets out of hand, Naruto could get injured from this fight."

"What makes you think that, cyclops?" Yoko asked while trying not to tear the jounin's throat out.

"Sasuke is our best genin in konoha right now. He may not have his Sharingan at the moment, but he's still a formidable opponent in his age group." Kakashi informed the pair, making Tiamat shake her head dismissively.

"I doubt it. My mate isn't like those brats you call ninja. He is a raging dragon, one that I taught personally. If your precious student can damage my mate, then I'll give credit where it's due." Tiamat said in a bored voice, completely blowing Kakashi off as they turned back to the fight.

"Are both fighters ready?" Phyllis asked the pair. Sasuke nodded as he got into the interceptor fist, while Naruto just stood there, but nodded regardless. "In that case, begin!"

Neither of them moved for a good few minutes. Sasuke's eyes twitched as he saw that Naruto wasn't attacking him at all. He then decided to taunt the blonde with an infuriating smirk on his face. "What's wrong dobe? You getting cold fee-"

"Duck ass." Naruto interrupted Sasuke, making him bristle in anger, before the blonde continued. "Listen, as much as I would love to listen to you trying to mock me or drone on about how great your clan was, I literally have a million other things I could be doing right now. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

"Oh, well I'd be more than happy t-" Sasuke was saying, but was once again cut off by Naruto.

"Hold on, Uchiha. I think you might have misheard me. Not half as hard. Not some half-assed effort. I want you. To hit me. As hard. As. You. Can." The dragon slayer said slowly so that he was heard clearly, making Sasuke more annoyed.

"And what if I don't, dobe?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow.

Naruto grinned before shrugging his shoulders, taking a shot in the dark on what he was about to say next. "Well then, I guess your brother was right about you."

Sasuke, at that moment, saw red. He instantly charged at the Uzumaki at high speeds, and sent a chakra enhanced kick into Naruto's neck expecting to hear a crack. But instead, he heard a low chuckle, making him widen his eyes.

"Yikes, consider that nerve touched. Or was that your ego I hit? Either way I hit something when I mentioned your brother, didn't I?" Naruto said mockingly. The kick didn't even hurt, it barely even tickled thanks to his skin, which was hardened due to his dragon slayer magic.

Naruto then grabbed Sasuke's leg and threw him into a tree, not enough to send him through it, but hard enough to cause spiderweb cracks. The Uchiha groaned in pain as he slumped to the floor with blood dripping from his head while panting heavily.

"SASUKE-KUN! ARE YOU OK?" Sakura screeched in worry for her crush, making everyone, especially Yoko, Tiamat, and Phyllis wince, because they were right next to the girl.

"Girl, I swear to the sage above that if you scream in my ears one more time, I will rip your intestines out from inside your throat, then drag you to the deepest section of hell, and force you to watch as I slaughter everyone you know and love in your pathetic existence. Your mother, your father, your friends, and even that pathetic Uchiha as I watch the life fade from your eyes in despair!" Yoko growled in a demonic voice making Sakura nearly soil her pants as she backed away from the redhead.

Yoko smirked at Pinkett's fearful look, before turning back to the so-called fight. She knew her presence would cause trouble in the human world, so to better blend in with the crowd, she hid her fox features to make her look more human.

Back at the fight, Naruto was looking at the panting Uchiha with amusement in his eyes. "You see duck ass, that's what you get for not listening to me, and I was going easy on you too. But, since I know you have trouble following directions, I'm gonna give you one more shot. You. Me. Hard as you can. Are we clear, Uchiha?"

"Oh, we're clear alright. We're crystal clear." Sasuke growled with rage as he recovered, and brought out multiple shuriken from his pouch. He then ran towards the dragon slayer and threw his shuriken towards the blonde.

Naruto raised an eyebrow when the shurikens went past him, but his interest increased when his eyes caught the faint metal gleam connected to the star. "I see, he has ninja wire connected to the shurikens. This should be interesting."

Sasuke then showed his skill with weapons when he threw more shurikens towards the one he already threw and they ricocheted off of one another, with the wires wrapping around Naruto tightly. Sasuke jumped and landed behind Naruto with the wires leading from the bound Uzumaki into his mouth. The Uchiha smirked evilly as he quickly went through hand signs, finishing on the tiger seal.

"FIRE STYLE: FIREBALL JUTSU!" Sasuke mentally shouted as a torrent of fire shot from his mouth, with the fire being led by the wires that led to Naruto's bound form. Said blonde just looked at the fire with boredom, before being engulfed in the blazing orange flames.

"Oh boy. I think Sasuke might have gone a bit overboard." Kakashi said in a fake concerned voice. Meanwhile, Yoko and Tiamat raised an eyebrow at the sight.

Phyllis scoffed at the display, before crossing her arms. "Is he an idiot? Actually, don't answer that, he doesn't know about dragon slayers."

"Know about what, Phyllis-san?" Kakashi asked with a bit of worry, making Tiamat scoff.

"Naruto is a fire dragon slayer, or more specifically, a chaos fire dragon slayer. Naruto has the same properties as regular fire dragon slayer, with mostly the same abilities. One of which you're about to see right now." Tiamat said with boredom, making Kakashi look back at the fight with more focus.

Sasuke grinned at the sight of the blonde burning in his fire. "Ha! How's that, dobe? No one can defeat an Uchiha elite. Do you know why? Because only an Uchiha can defeat an Uchiha!"

Sasuke laughed as he was about to turn away, until he heard a familiar voice from within the flames. "Is this everything you have? This fire isn't even that hot, nor is it good."

From within the flames, a silhouette appeared standing in the fire. The fire started to swirl into a single point, making the flames dim significantly, until an unharmed Naruto was revealed. The blonde appeared to be somehow eating Sasuke's flames, until not a single flame was left from the Uchiha's attack, making said boy look on in shock.

"My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined thanks to you, duck ass." Naruto said with a bored look on his face. He was expecting the Uchiha to do something like a lightning technique, or something that would at least make him try. But instead, he just used a basic fire technique that didn't even make him sweat. Granted, he was a fire dragon slayer, but still he expected more from the stuck up bastard.

Sasuke clenched his fists in anger as he yelled in rage. "How the fuck are you still alive you bastard?!"

"It's actually quite simple, Uchiha." Naruto grinned sadistically before a blue fiery aura surrounded his form. "I'm just better."

Without warning, Naruto disappeared from sight, confusing Sasuke. He was about to look around to try and find the blonde slayer, until he felt an agonizing pain in his stomach. Naruto's fist sunk deep into Sasuke's stomach, causing him to double over in pain, but the blonde wasn't done. He covered his leg in blue flames, and sent a devastating kick into Sasuke's face, sending him crashing through several trees.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura yelled in worry as she chased after her crush while giving the blonde the stink eye as she passed by.

Naruto just yawned tiredly as he turned away from the destruction he caused while patting his hands down. "Well...that was disappointing."

"Naruto, you've been trained nearly your whole life by our strongest mages and the strongest dragon in the world. Should you really have such high expectations?" Yoko asked.

"Damn right he should. We dragon's love competition, so fighting a weak opponent can be very annoying at times." Tiamat spoke up as Phyllis walked towards the dragon slayer and handed him a container of water.

"I assume that he'll be in better condition when it's his turn to guard the bridge?" Phyllis asked, with Naruto shrugging, not really sure himself.

"Hey, he should be fine...I think. Although I can't completely blame him. I'm immune to all types of fire thanks to my slayer magic." Naruto said with fake concern.

"You could have at least taken it easy on him, Naruto. You might have injured him with that last attack." Scolded Kakashi, feeling a bit weary that his student was beaten so easily.

"Oh please, I held back on that last attack, cyclops. If he couldn't handle a love tap like that, then he's got no business being out here with the grown ups." Naruto said uncaringly, before his eyes turned to slits as he glared at Kakashi. "Or could it be that you want to know what it's like for me to go all out?"

Kakashi, feeling an oppressive aura around the blonde, shook his head negatively while sweating slightly. He was in no condition to fight, but that would change soon when the week was up. And even then, backup would arrive soon, so there could be a chance to take Naruto back to the village if he played his cards right.

"Whatever. I'm bored now, so I plan on getting some training done in the forest for a bit. So tell Tsunami-san and Tazuna-san I'll be late to dinner." Naruto said, with his mates nodding as he jumped away deep in the forest.

"Aren't you going to follow him, Yoko? You're normally the first to try and calm him down." Phyllis asked without any mockery, a bit worried for her lover.

"Normally I would, but he needs some time alone so he can blow off some steam. He'll be fine when he gets back." Yoko said as she started walking back to the house, with Tiamat following her. Phyllis just looked where her favorite human ran off to, before following after the pair into the house.

Kakashi just sighed, before using his crutches to help him walk towards his student's location. "This is worse than I thought. I'll have to increase Sasuke's training if he's going to control the demon. But I think he's on the verge of unlocking his Sharingan. Once that happens, training him will be a lot easier than before."

Up in the treetops, Sai looked at the display of power shown by the Uzumaki while concealing his presence as best as he could while writing in a scroll. Danzo should be aware of the jinchuuriki's power, as well as the multiple females with the weapon. He was originally put on team 7 to keep an eye on the Uchiha, but since the jinchuuriki showed up, he would need to act accordingly. Hopefully backup would arrive soon so they could capture the weapon.

However, unbeknownst to the jounin and undercover root Anbu, another figure was watching the show with intrigue flashing in her red eyes.

"So...that's the guy Vult and Zabuza were talking about huh? I'll admit, he looks pretty cute. If this guy is as strong as Zabuza says he is, then he shouldn't mind if I throw him a little test." Maia thought internally while sitting on a branch high in the trees. She would admit, the guy had power, but he only showed a small portion of it with the stuck up Uchiha. Maybe if she were to give him a real fight, then she could see his full strength.

With that thought in her mind, Maia sat up from her spot on the branch and made her way to where the blonde dragon slayer was.


(Forest: an hour later)

Small explosions could be heard as Naruto can be seen dodging a dragon roar from one of his clones while blocking flame-covered fists from two more clones. He dodged another attempt to punch him from both clones, making them hit each other as the real Naruto made his move.

He sent a reinforced fist into a clone's stomach making it dispel, and sent a spinning heel kick to the other. However, the clone he kicked started to glow, making Naruto curse under his breath as he jumped away just as the clone exploded.

The last clone, seeing this, decided to perform another dragon roar, this one being bigger than the one he performed previously. Naruto covered his right hand in fire, before swiping his hand upwards in a claw-like motion. "Chaos dragon's blazing talons!"

Five waves of blazing blue flames shot towards the torrent of blue flames, before a massive explosion rocked the clearing. Smoke covered the clone's vision as he was trying to look for its creator, until a clawed hand pierced its chests, causing it to dispel.

Naruto sighed tiredly as he sat on the ground with his back facing the tree. "Alright, I feel a bit better now. It felt good to put that Uchiha in his place, but he was just so weak. Maybe if he had his eyes, he would have been more of a challenge, but I doubt it."

The dragon slayer was about to drink from his container full of water, until his ears started twitching. He sniffed the air to find out who was following him, and he identified the person as a female. A groan of annoyance came from his mouth as he stood up and shouted for the person watching him.

"Are you going to keep watching me from the treetops, or am I gonna have to drag you down from there to make you face me?!" Naruto yelled.

Nothing happened for a moment, and Naruto was about to follow up on his threat, until the woman jumped out of her hiding spot and facing the blonde. Naruto would admit, this woman looked very beautiful. Although he did blush a bit at the woman's revealing clothes. He'd seen worse, mostly from the other elves in Alfheim.

"I gotta admit, I'm impressed you managed to sense me. I was sure to hide my chakra well too." The woman said, a bit impressed.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter how well you hide your chakra. Nothing gets past a dragon's nose." Naruto said a bit cockily, before continuing. "Also, I know you've been watching me for quite a bit now, ever since I laid the duck ass out."

"Really now? Anything else you know about me~" The woman said with a cheeky grin while leaning down, making her large breasts bounce due to the movement.

"Yes I do, actually." Naruto said cheerfully, before the atmosphere around him turned cold, and his eyes became slits. He disappeared from sight, confusing the woman, until she felt a clawed hand mear inches from piercing her throat. The red haired woman froze in shock and a bit of fear when she heard the blonde speak in a cold tone. "I'm fairly certain you're with those black dogs, aren't you?"

"H-How do you know that?" The woman said, a bit scared for her life.

"Simple. You give off the same scent as those other mercenaries I killed, which leads me to believe that you're part of those black dogs in the village." Naruto said as he covered the tips of his claws with blue fire. "Now I'm going to ask you some questions, and you're going to answer them. Answer them honestly, and I might let you live. And don't try and lie either, because I'll know when you do."

The woman nodded nervously, not seeing any point in refusing. If she did, she would die, and she preferred living. "Good. Now, first question. Who are you?"

"My name is Maia. I'm typically known among the other mercs as the mercenary queen, but that's just a title." Maia said, trying to stay calm.

After a few seconds, Naruto nodded, before he continued. "Good, next question. Who is your leader?"

"...Our leader's name is Vult. The strongest of the mercenaries. He also has his second and third in command. A mage named Kin, and a rogue named Hicks. They are always a Vult's side and are completely loyal to him." Maia informed the blonde, who raised an eyebrow at the info.

"You know quite a lot to be giving me this information. Do you know these guys personally?" Naruto asked, with Maia nodding in affirmation.

"Yeah, I do. Vult personally taught me everything I needed to know about fighting and how to survive. I've been a part of the black dogs ever since I was little." Maia said with a smile of reminiscence on her face, completely forgetting she was only one mistake away from getting her head cut off.

Naruto realized something, which made him dismiss his flames, but still kept his clawed hand near Maia's neck. "You're an orphan, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I am. I don't even know who my parents are or where I come from. Allni knew were the black dogs, and they treated me like family ever since." The mercenary queen said softly.

"I see. Last question. What's keeping me from killing you just like the other bastards we've killed?" Naruto asked with his eyes glowing dangerously, making Maia's fear return full force.

"...Because...I want to leave the black dogs." Her words were like an echo reverberating in his mind, and Naruto raised an eyebrow at the woman.

"But wait, didn't you just say that you and the black dogs see each other as family? Why would you want to leave?" Naruto asked with confusion.

Maia sighed, before replying to the slayer's question. "Well...that's what I would've said at first, but I don't know anymore. I've been having doubts about the Kuroinu for a while now. Lately we've been taking more...questionable jobs like this one, and I'm starting to think that they changed compared to before. I'm not sure if I should stay anymore."

"(Sigh) Look, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your life, because obviously, it's yours. You can do what you want, but I would highly suggest leaving the black dogs. I plan on killing every Kuroinu mercenary here, and if you really don't want to be a part of that kill count, then I would suggest you leave them and do something else." Naruto said as he let go of the mercenary and leaned his back on a nearby tree.

Maia just sat down next to him, letting her back hit the tree bark. "But where can I go? Being a ninja isn't my style, and other than the Kuroinu, I don't have others to watch my back if I need it. I don't know what to do."

Naruto thought for a moment, before he recalled a conversation he had with Celestine at one point a few years back.


(Ninja art: Flashback no jutsu)

"Geez, this place is a damn maze. This is where Cele-chan is right?" A 16 year old Naruto said as he was walking inside the royal palace of Aslanore, looking for a certain high elf. The palace was very big, so much so that Naruto had gotten a bit lost, much to his embarrassment. Eventually, he had found a maid that guided him to Celestine's location.

Soon the servant led him to a pair of intricate double doors, and she bowed before leaving him to do his business. Naruto was about to knock on the door, until said doors opened, revealing 5 women coming from the door. They all looked beautiful, although he shouldn't be surprised since he was in Alfheim, a place that was literally filled with beautiful women everywhere he looked.

The first female had a future appearance with brown hair tied in a bun, blue eyes with a beauty mark under her left eye, long pointed ears common for most elves, and an hourglass figure coupled with large breasts, wide hips, and thick thighs. She wore what looked like revealing silver knight armor with gold trim, with the chest area exposing a window of her large breasts and toned stomach, silver gauntlets and greaves, bulky shoulder armor, and metal head guard that looked like a valkyrie headpiece, and a blue thong. She also had a sword strapped to her side.

The second woman looked a lot younger than the first woman, but she also looked similar to a knight. She had long blonde hair tied up in two buns and a white hairband, purple eyes, and a toned physique. She wore silver gauntlets and greaves with gold trim like the first woman, but the difference was she wore a blue battle dress that exposed her stomach and a decent amount of her ample cleavage with a short skirt.

Next was a very cute girl that looked a bit younger than the second girl, with long wavy pink hair that reached her waist with split bangs, long sidelocks, beautiful blue eyes and an hourglass figure. She wore a white dress with gold trim and detached puffed sleeves, white gloves, a long pink skirt, and white garterbelt stockings. The dress also showed quite a bit of skin like around the chest area and midriff, exposing her breasts, navel, and white panties. She also had a gold tiara on her head with a pink jewel at the center.

Behind the pink haired girl was another woman that had the appearance of a shrine maiden. She had short black hair with blunt bangs and a hime cut, amber eyes that showed no emotion, and a figure that could make anyone a devoted worshipper. She wore a typical Miko outfit with the shirt tied around the waistline exposing her flat stomach, a red skirt that stopped around her ankles, a pink see through shawl around her arms, and a gold headpiece on her head.

The last woman was probably the shortest of the group, maybe even a bit shorter than the pink haired girl. She had short orange hair with curls at the end and short bangs, magenta eyes, and a figure similar to the pink haired girl. She wears a green hat with two feather balls strung to it by red strings, a short green dress that hugged her large breasts and wide hips with gold buttons, white elbow gloves, brown thigh high boots, and a green cloak tied with a red string. Unlike the other women of the group, this girl was not an elf. Instead, she had a small orange puffy tail connected to her tailbone.

"Hm? Oh, you must be the human Nol-sama brought to Aslanore. It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person, Messiah." The brown haired knight said with a smile looking at Naruto.

Naruto snapped out of his daze when he heard the brunette speak, and managed to control himself so he could reply back."Um...yeah, likewise miss..."

"Ah, my apologies. I should've introduced myself first shouldn't I? My name is Claudia, Massiah-dono." The now named Claudia greeted with a bow, making her large breasts bounce thanks to the movement.

"Yeah, likewise Claudia-san. You can just call me Naruto, Messiah just feels wrong to me." Naruto said with a shrug, making all of the women look at him with wonder.

"I was wondering when we were going to meet our savior. A human man in Alfheim is very rare, but given that you're human, I don't expect much." The blonde with the blue battle dress said with a hand on her hip, making the former jinchuuriki's eye twitch at the remark.

"Alicia, I'm sure Lady Celestine had told us that he was training under Lady Tiamat. Anyone who can gain the attention of the strongest dragon queen shouldn't be underestimated." The pink haired girl lightly scolded her sister figure, making the now named Alicia reluctantly nod.

"I know that, Prim. But keep in mind, he is human. Humans have done unspeakable things to us in the past, so it's best to be wary of this one." Alicia said with a huff, making Prim sigh.

"I'm standing right here, you know." Naruto said with a twitching eyebrow.

"Eh, don't worry about her, Naruto. She's just upset that she can't help repopulate their species yet, since you're still a little too young." the orange haired female said while propping her huge battle axe on her shoulder, making Naruto blush at the remark. Alicia looked at her scandalized before she voiced her protest.

"Ruu Ruu! Enough of your antics! There's no way I would bring myself to fornicate with t-this, this human!" Alicia shouted in outrage, making the identified Ruu Ruu grin mischievously.

"Please excuse them, Messiah-sama. They tend to argue at times, especially Alicia. I'm sure she meant no hate towards you." The elf dressed like a shrine maiden said with an emotionless voice, making Naruto look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"And you are?" Naruto asked.

"I am Kaguya, Messiah-sama. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." Kaguya said with a deep bow.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment before responding. "Yeah, nice to meet you two, Kaguya-san. But if you don't mind, please just call me Naruto. Being called Messiah just makes me feel uncomfortable."

Kaguya nodded with a smile as Claudia spoke up. "So Naruto, what brings you inside the royal palace at this time?"

"Oh right. Nol-chan wanted me to deliver her these documents. I'm currently on break for training today, so I have nothing better to do." Naruto said while showing a folder in his arms.

"I see, in that case, go ahead inside. We just finished a meeting, and Celestine is still inside. Best of luck, Naruto-dono." Claudia said with a smile as she, and the rest of the women walked past the blonde.

Naruto shrugged as he walked inside what looked like a war room. A large table was at the center of the room that had a large map of Alfheim. Sitting at the head of the table was Celestine, who looked at said map with contemplation until she spotted Naruto.

"Ah, Naruto. To what do I owe the pleasure? Is today your day off from training?" Celestine asked with a warm smile on her face.

"Yeah, I had nothing else to do, so I decided to help Nol-chan with giving this to you." Naruto said as he brought out the documents on him and handed them to the high elf.

"I see. In that case, thank you for your assistance, Naruto. Is there anything else you came here for?" Said the high elf, hoping to be the case so she could spend more time with her fellow blonde.

"Not really. I mainly just came to give you those documents. Hm?" Naruto then noticed that Celestine looked a bit exhausted, making him worry slightly. "Cele-chan, are you doing alright? You look tired."

"Oh yes, I'm fine Naruto. It's just that this war with the dark elves has been causing me a bit of stress. I should be fine when I get some rest soon." Celestine said as she was about to stand, but Naruto gripped her shoulders and sat her back down. "Naruto?"

"Relax, Cele-chan. You need a break, and I think I know a way for you to relax." Naruto said as he used his chakra into his hands, while channeling a bit of fire magic to his palms. It wasn't enough to spark a flame, but it was enough to cause his hands to warm up.

With no further delay, Naruto started rubbing Celestine's shoulders. The high elf felt a pleasant sensation run through her body as Naruto's chakra washed over her like a blanket. She moaned in delight as her whole body relaxed under Naruto's warm touch. "W-Wow, I didn't know you could give massages, Naruto."

"You can thank Yoko-chan for that. She's been teaching me ways to use my chakra for different everyday usage. Giving massages was one of them." Naruto said as he continued to massage the elf queen, who continued to moan in pleasure. "So tell me, who were those girls that walked out of here?"

Oh, you haven't met them yet. Those were a group of selected individuals called the shield princess knights, composed of some of the strongest elves in Alfheim. Well...elves and a halfling, but mostly elves." Celestine informed her fellow blonde.

"Halfling? I'm assuming that's another race here in Alfheim?" Naruto asked while loosening a knot around Celestine's shoulders, making another moan escape her lips.

The high elf nodded as she spoke, albeit shakily. "Y-Yes, the halflings are a race that specializes in their physical strength and smithing. Their territory is further west from Aslanore as well, and they make most of the weapons for our people."

Naruto then thought of something as he then asked. "Cele-chan, is it possible to convert humans into elves?"

"Hmmm...I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility for me, although I've never attempted such a thing before. However, if I were to do so, then I'm afraid I would suffer major mana exhaustion in the process. Why do you ask, Naruto?" The high elf queen asked while trying not to moan due to Naruto's touch.

"Well...you know there were people in Konoha that genuinely liked me and treated me with kindness. I was just wondering if we could..." Naruto trailed off, letting his thoughts hang in the air as Celestine smiles softly.

"While I can't guarantee that the process will be successful, I will try my best. If you can vouch for them, then I'll gladly accept them into Aslanore." Celestine said while placing a hand on the whiskered blonde's own and squeezed gently.

"Thanks Cele-chan. You know, I'm glad I decided to stay here. Had it not been for you guys, I don't think I would be who I am today. So thank you...for welcoming me here." Naruto said softly.

The elf queen looked at her messiah with warm eyes. "Naruto, you will always be welcomed here. This is your home as much as the rest of us here. You can stay in Alfheim for as long as you wish."

The slayer nodded with a soft smile, and both blondes enjoyed each other's company for the next few hours, with Naruto continuing his message on the elf queen, much to her joy.


(Flashback no jutsu kai)

Naruto's eyes flashed with realization when he remembered his conversation with Celestine that day. If Maia really did decide to leave the Kuroinu, then he could maybe bring her back to Alfheim with him. He could probably convince the high elf to let the red haired mercenary join the princess knights, if he was pushing it.

"I think I might be able to help you, Maia." Naruto said, catching said mercenary queen's attention. "Have you ever heard of a place called Alfheim?"

"Yeah, I think so. Our mage Kin won't shut up about it. I think I hear him whispering about it sometimes with Vult occasionally. Although I'm not sure if the place is real or not. I mean a land of elves, magic and fairies? Sounds like a fairytale if you ask me." Maia confirmed with a raised eyebrow.

Wait, their mage knew of the existence of Alfheim? He would have to question her about that later.

"Well, what if I told you that place is real." Naruto said with full seriousness, catching Maia a bit off guard. "I know what I'm saying sounds like bullshit, but I assure you Alfheim is real. I even have an elf with me if you want proof."

"Ok, say I was to believe you. How exactly would I get to Alfheim in the first place?" Asked a skeptical Maia.

"All you would need to do is come with me and my group. We're on a bit of a detour right now helping wave, but after we're done here, we plan on going to whirlpool country. We should be ready to go back to Alfheim after that. You can come with us if you want." Naruto informed the mercenary.

"...I guess I could tag along. Besides, I need to get away from this group, and If you were strong enough to beat Zabuza, then you should be strong enough to handle most of not all of the Kuroinu." Maia stated.

"Ha, you haven't even seen my full strength yet. When that happens, all those merc's will wish that never crossed me." The slayer said with a grin while pumping his fist.

"Hahaha, I can't wait to see that happen. It'd be nice to see most of those idiot's shit their pants because of a teenager." Maia laughed at the thought, making the Uzumaki laugh along with her.

"Well since you're tagging along for a while let's introduce you to the group. Although you might want to keep the fact that you're a black dog mercenary to yourself for now." Naruto said seriously, making Maia nod in agreement as they started walking through the forest towards Tazuna's house.

As they walked towards the small house, Naruto had introduced himself, something he probably should have done from the start, and the pair chatted like they were old friends, much to Maia's relief. She honestly didn't know what happened. She was originally going to test Naruto's fighting prowess and see if Zabuza was exaggerating or not, but she ended up getting closer to the blonde. She would've more than likely ended up friends with the slayer either way, but it was nice to have genuine companionship, or at least that's what she thought.

Eventually, Naruto and Maia made it to the bridge builder's house, and Naruto opened the door for the red haired merc, who gave him a playful grin as she walked inside. "Guys, I'm back!"

Yoko was the first to appear via fire shunshin, making Maia jump a bit in surprise. She couldn't help but feel a bit jealous when she saw the dark skinned redhead's figure. Granted, she was no slouch in the looks department, but when she looked at Yoko, she felt a bit inadequate.

"Ah, welcome back, Naruto. And I see you brought company~" Yoko said with a grin as she looked at Maia.

"Yeah. I met her in the forest not too long ago. She'll be tagging along with us for a while." Naruto said as Yoko got closer to Maia's face, who backed away nervously.

"Um...Hi. Yoko right? It's nice to meet yo-" Maia was cut off when she let out a small moan.

The reason?

Yoko had suddenly latched her hands on Maia's barely concealed breasts. "Hm, not bad. Soft, yet firm, and they're pretty big too. Not as big as mine or Tiamat's, but you're still pretty stacked."

"W-What the hell are you doing!" Maia shouted with an embarrassed blush on her face.

Naruto chuckled softly as he chopped Yoko hard on the head, making a small lump form. "Haha, sorry about her, Maia. Yoko does this sometimes with new people, particularly females."

"What, aren't you going to fuck her? I mean, she's got a body that would make most women jealous, and from what I felt, she's quite toned, probably thanks to her training." Yoko said with a perverted grin, making the dragon slayer groan.

"Yoko-chan, you know I'm not into one-night stands. If I'm going to do something like that then I want there to be a connection between us, or at least get to know her more." Naruto said while pinching the bridge of his nose. Maia felt a bit touched and relieved that her new friend wasn't that type of guy, unlike most, if not all of the men in the Kuroinu.

"Anyways, enough trying to get me to sleep with Maia. What have I missed since I was gone."

Yoko just giggled in amusement at her former jinchuuriki's question, before gesturing both slayer and mercenary to follow her, which they did. When they entered the living room, Naruto just barely managed to keep himself from laughing out loud. Maia wasn't so fortunate however, and was openly laughing at the sight before her.

"Oh Uchiha! I've run out of tea. Be a dear and fetch some more why don't you~" Phyllis grinned in amusement as said Uchiha came into view, in a completely different outfit.

Gone were the blue shirt with white shorts seen previously. Now the Uchiha wore a pink french maid outfit, with an apron that had writing which said "Blowjob princess!"

"When I get this shitty costume off, all of you are dead. Do you hear me? Dead!" Sasuke growled, before he was slapped upside the head by Tiamat, who was giving him an amused look.

"I think your mistress gave you an order. Go carry it out, servant. Or do you want a repeat of what happened last time you disobeyed orders~" Tiamat grinned sadistically as she conjured a whip made of blue fire and cracked it in the ground. Sasuke immediately looked fearful as he sprinted towards the kitchen.

Kakashi was reading his orange book like he didn't have a care in the world. Meanwhile, Sakura was Chained down and gagged to a chair, courtesy of Tiamat, who had reached her breaking point with the banshee's annoying wailing.

"Ok, I know I said he would be at your mercy, but don't you think this is a little bit much?" Naruto said with a chuckle as Sasuke came back into the room handing Phyllis her tea. "Ok, forget what I said. This is gold."

"This isn't funny, you bastard!" Sasuke shouted in rage.

"You're right, it's not funny. It's fucking hilarious." Maia continued to laugh as she sank to the floor.

"Ugh, you messed up the tea again. Go make another batch, and this time do it right." Phyllis said with disgust as she spat out the tea, making Sasuke more angry as he entered the kitchen just as Tsunami walked into the room.

"Don't you think that's a bit much?" Tsunami asked, although she tried to hold back her giggles.

"No, but this will satisfy me for now. That arrogant bastard had it coming." Phyllis said with a smirk.

"So Naruto, who's the new girl?" Tiamat asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, right. Everyone, this is Maia, a friend I met in the forest not too long ago. She plans on traveling with us for a while." Informed the slayer, making Tiamat and Phyllis raise an eyebrow. "By the way, other than duck ass being made a servant, is there anything else I-"

"N-Naruto?" A familiar voice spoke up, making Naruto's eyes widen as he slowly turned around, only to see two familiar faces.

Standing at the entrance to the dining room, was Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarshi, both looking at him with wide eyes, with small tears running down the face of the genjutsu mistress. Anko wasn't doing any better than her friend, with special jounin forming a happy expression at the sight of the whiskered blonde.

Naruto looked at the pair with shock as he spoke up. "K-Kurenai-chan? Anko-chan?"


(Chapter end)

I'm finally done! With getting this story caught up on Wattpad and making a long chapter it was well worth it.

Sorry for the long wait by the way. I was coming up with some ideas for this story, plus Fanfiction is acting up currently and I wanted to wait until it gets fixed, but who knows how long that will take. Then I realized that I have Kuroinu females in this story. Might as well put the other princess knights in the harem as well.

Are they going to be in the harem? Absolutely!

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Follow and vote, or if you're on fanfiction follow and favorite.

See you all next time!

Bye-bye.
