Chapter 35: Proposition
"I am sorry," My eyes trailed to Kurenai. "I put a secrecy seal on you. You won't be able to talk about me."
Kurenai looked a slightly taken aback but then her expression turned contemplative. On one hand, she really didn't like having a seal on her against her wishes. On the other...
"I understand." She nodded reluctantly. "You saved us. I can do at least that much."
"Seal?" Anko looked unsure, making me chuckle at her distrust.
"Yes. Seal."
"How strong will be the containment seal?" Anko asked carefully.
"Stronger than what you have now." I shrugged.
Anko nodded and wobbly approached me, only to 'stumble' into my lap with an 'awkward' laugh as her breasts pressed onto my thighs. Seriously... this girl.
Kurenai, watching Anko, huffed at her friend and gave her a heated glare.
"I really will reward you handsomely if you are saying the truth." Anko purred and her hand reached towards my pants only to be stopped by paper slices.
I started laughing at her bewildered expression.
"Ladies, meet Konan."
Konan came out of shadows, her expression impassive but her eyes pointedly stared at Anko and her outstretched hand, blocked by the paper.
Anko blinked and her expression twisted in playfulness. Somehow I became her prime plaything as she tried to reach my crotch only to be prevented by Konan on every count. Even Kurenai started giggling at the scene.
The fun lasted for a few minutes until Anko crossed her arms with a pout and Konan showed a rare smug smirk on her face.
I patted Anko on her head, making her eyes widen at the gentle physical contact. The purple-haired woman meekly smiled and looked towards the ground.
"Thank you. Really." She quietly whispered.
I nodded and let my hand drop from her head on the shoulder, right over her Cursed Seal. Anko grit her teeth in expectation of pain when I took my hand away. She looked at me in puzzlement but received only an eye smile from me.
"Done."
"Ah?" She reached to her shoulder only to find herself... calmer. More in control. The Cursed Seal finally stopped hurting!
Her face bloomed into a genuine smile, not one of those over-the-top sadistic grins and I was instantly assaulted!
Her lips pressed onto mine as her naked chest tried to melt into me. The girl locked her feet behind my back as she sat in my lap, kissing and licking me.
Kurenai watched with interest while Konan was deadpanning on my back. I could feel it!
It took Konan, Kurenai, and a spoon to pry beet-red Anko from me. Not that I did not enjoy it!
Kurenai intently peered at me and I decided to fluster her a little.
"Oh, by the way, I am Rei Yotsuba." I told them, beaming at their embarrassment when they realized they did not introduce themselves and then enjoying their gaping faces as they realized...
"You are related to Kaminari Daimyo!?" Both shrieked and tried to bow.
"Yup. No need to act all courteous now, girls." I rolled my eyes. Really, at least the shinobi nowadays have manners. Before they kill you they apologize, right...
In this world, surnames were something common unless you were an orphan whose parents were completely unknown. Which just shows how plain face-to-face lie was Sandaime 'I dunno yer parents, kid' to Naruto. Anyway, Daimyos have surnames that nobody else uses. Surnamed Yotsuba means I am family to the Daimyo. Fortunately, nobles can travel all over the Elemental Nations. I could turn up in Konoha and nobody would bat an eyelash. Well, except the 24/7 surveillance.
Meaning, I was not trespassing! Neither was Konan since she was no shinobi as of now but a concubine of noble! How neat was that!?
"Just be yourselves." I told Anko and Kurenai, making them relax but they were still uncomfortable. Nobility in this world is really taken as someone higher. Even these supernatural warriors called ninja 'knew their place' as a stuck-up noble would say. They were after all paid by them.
"Anko Mitarashi! Your future wife!" Anko cheerfully exclaimed with one of her hands raised as if she was a student. I actually couldn't spot if she was joking or completely serious... At least it lightened the mood and made them again feeling comfortable around me.
"I am Kurenai Yuhi. Thank you for saving us." Kurenai smiled calmly but her eyes were anything but.
She stood up, my coat still covering her, and came to Anko, handing her a spare scroll with clothes from her torn attire on the ground and the girls gave me a show of getting dressed. Damn, Anko, and the purposeful sway of her hips...
"Konan." All eyes went to Konan as her impassive voice resounded through the cave. "You are pretty calm for two kunoichis considering turning a traitor."
Both Anko and Kurenai gave her a wry expression.
"I am not the most favorite person in Konoha... I do want to prove my loyalty and be treated well. It was kinda my dream." Anko drawled in a wistful voice. "But I... I guess I just didn't want to see the truth, you know? It really ARE the higher-ups who are blocking my promotions, no matter what I do I am always ostracized, everybody whispers and glares at me..."
"Sandaime told me that maybe the situations turn better if I prove myself. I did everything. The hardest missions. For years. Nothing changed. I am still the same snake whore of Konoha I was when I was twelve. I... Is it really worth it? Now? That someone who can remove my Cursed Seal," Anko looked at me, "offered an alternative? I don't know... I just wonder..."
Kurenai threw her hand over Anko's shoulder.
"Konoha has its problems." She shrugged.
"You just want to feel such a good orgasm again, you pervert." Anko bit out, grin returning to her face.
"Shush you." Kurenai scowled.
"Hmmm, I do have a proposition for you, then." I started. "You will return to Konoha for one more year."
Both girls quietly listened, a weight dropping from their shoulders at this. They did not want to turn traitor. But... They were unsure. It was drilled into them that traitors are the biggest scum from their childhood. Well, yay for brainwashing children...
"Open your eyes and take an objective look at your village. Make your mind and if you still feel that way afterward... you both are beautiful and capable women. I would be honored to take you as my concubines." I told them sincerely, making them blush. "But it won't mean your kunoichi duties will cease to exist. Look at Konan. She is my concubine and is strong as heck. Still getting stronger too."
Anko was instantly on her feet, in front of Konan.
"You are his concubine?" She asked, getting an impassive nod in return.
"How is sex!?"
Ah... typical Anko.
"I can't get enough." Konan plainly stated, forcing me to divert my eyes as the girls looked at me.
"Then, how many concubines does he have." Kurenai asked, biting her lower lip.
"Four so far." Konan told her. "But he really makes time for each of us." She smiled contently, getting a thoughtful nod from Kurenai.
"Well, I have to." I interrupted with smile. "You see we each have this Seal..." I explained how it works between me and my girls without saying anything about Power-up thanks to Chakra Enhancing Seal. I made sure to strike the fact that it's a two-way street home and explained I can get rid of the Cursed Seal with it.
Both Kurenai and Anko pondered about their new knowledge but after a moment they looked at each other and nodded.
"We accept. A year from now... we will meet again."
Well... of course they accept. From kunoichi to a concubine of the royal family? There is no better status up than that considering that to be a wife you have to be noble by birth. I am at least happy that neither Anko nor Kurenai changed that much their attitude or their resolve to wait when hearing my station. It would be unpleasant for me to have someone who is with me only because I am a son of Daimyo. I am quite glad I have fore-knowledge of their character.
Our groups of twos exited the cavern after both Kurenai and Anko 'rewarded me' with long kisses. Anko wanted more but I stopped her. It wouldn't do to do it. Kurenai would be tempted and it would create bad blood if they decided to NOT come to me, in the end.I explained to them about the Loyalty Seal and while they were queasy about it. Konan somewhat made them calm down and even look forward to it... I have such a capable concu-, wife.
Yes. Wife. Who cares what others see my girls as! They belong to me therefore are my wives! Fuck others!
Kurenai and Anko, and Konan and I parted. The former reluctantly heading to Konoha while the latter, we, continued our search for the drunk gambling addict.
