3 Journey to The South(18+)

10 months ago

It had been almost a year since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and the entirety of the Elemental Nations had been recovering from the number of losses sustained in the short-lived, yet costly conflict.

In Konohagakure no Sato, the Hero of the Fourth Shinobi War was having a pleasant day to himself. He had been training in Training Ground 7, the very field that started his career, from morning to midday.

But when Tsunade and Sakura came and told him some… grave news, Naruto's pleasant day went downhill really fast.

Said blonde was not happy. Not happy at all.

He had a look of absolute calmness on his face, that concealed what he was truly feeling. as he stared at Tsunade and Sakura.

"...Are you serious?" he asked them in a controlled tone.

The pitying looks he was given was his answer. Sakura couldn't even look at him in the eyes. Neither could Tsunade for that matter. He inhaled, then exhaled with a low and deep growl at the bottom of his throat. The blond clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly as he tried to keep himself calm.

Tsunade eventually looked him in the eyes. "You're too much of a threat, Naruto. Ever since the war ended people have begun to fear you. You and the power at your hands. Effective immediately, you're no longer a shinobi of Konohagakure."

"The po- the power I HAVE?!" Naruto suddenly bellowed. "Are you SERIOUS!? GAAAAAH!" To their surprise, he suddenly went into his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and lashed out at the nearest thing to him; which happened to be a tree.

He utterly demolished it in his anger.

"Naruto! Calm down!" Tsunade quickly barked. "It's not as bad as it looks!"

Naruto turned his furious eyes to her. "Calm down? Calm down?! No! I will NOT calm down!" He roared, his chakra began to fluctuate in his anger. The very air itself grew heavy and the ground under his feet started to crack from the sheer chakra outfit he was emitting. "After EVERYTHING I've been through! I! Did! For everyone, this is how you repay me?! Sealing my chakra away and revoking my ninja license, and forbidding me to do anything shinobi related because some people are THREATENED by me?!"

"They brought up some very good points Naruto. And it wasn't just in Konoha." Sakura tried to reason with him. "You're too powerful for your good. If you were to go, traitor all of a sudden, there would be no one strong enough to stop you."

Naruto scoffed. "Oh, really? Sasuke." Tsunade and Sakura couldn't hide the wince that showed on their face.

"That's different-" Sakura began, only to be brutally cut off by Naruto.

"How is that any DIFFERENT!?" Naruto shouted at her demandingly. He didn't give her the time to answer though. "Sasuke was a missing-nin for nearly three years! He tried to kill me several times; rammed a fucking Chidori through my chest twice; attacked the Kage-Summit, and he worked for Akatsuki! And what do you know, despite everything he pulled and tried to do, it was my word that kept him from being imprisoned or killed! He's as much of a threat as I am and he's wandering around the Elemental Nations willy-nilly because of my word!"

With that rant over and done with Naruto took several deep breaths to calm himself down. His Nine-Tails Chakra Mode dispersed with his anger.

Everything he's been through; everything he had to endure; from being ignored for most of his childhood, Mizuki tricking him, being sent to the Blood Prison for something he didn't do, being lied too, and now this…?

Looking at the ground, emotionally exhausted, Naruto let out a weary sigh, as he said. "...I'm done."

Tsunade and Sakura blinked in bewilderment. "What?" Asked the older blonde.

Naruto looked at them with tired eyes; then with another weary sigh, he removed his forehead protector, and after neatly folding the cloth tossed it to them. They stared at it as the forehead protector landed at their feet.

He gave them a tired, almost lazy shrug. "I'm done. I can't be a shinobi anymore? Fine. You don't want me to keep on training? Fine. But I'm done, with all of this." His eyes darted to the ground as he thinned his lips. There were too many bad memories here. He couldn't stay… the blond made his decision. "I'm leaving."

"I... can't let you do that," Tsunade told him; which prompt an empty laugh from him.

It was a sound that didn't sound right coming from him.

"Can't leave, huh?" Naruto gave the big-chested woman a flat smile. "I'm leaving, whether you like it or not. Try and stop me, I dare you."

Before any of them could formulate a response, Naruto went into his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode again and vanished on them in a yellow flash.

----

Hinata nearly jumped out of her skin as her boyfriend reappeared in the living room of their new house. What was he doing home so soon? She then blinked owlishly, surprised again, and frowned. "Naruto-Kun, what's wrong?"

Naruto growled at the back of his throat. "I just found out I'm no longer a shinobi, effective immediately," he told her as he made a shadow clone, that immediately went off to gather his things. "Apparently, I'm too powerful for my own good."

Hinata's frown deepened. "Why? Wouldn't that be a good thing? Last I heard, you were next in line to be Hokage." In her mind being strong means no one is likely to attack them. So the fact this was happening to him made no sense to her.

Naruto scowled. "Apparently not. Since I'm so powerful they're worried if I were to suddenly betray them, they would have no one strong enough to stand toe to toe with me."

"So… what now? I know you well enough to see that you would never take this lying down."

The blond exhaled and looked older than he should be. "I'm leaving, Hinata. I've had enough of this… bullshit!"

His girlfriend then gave him a look that he was quite familiar with. It was the same one she'd given Neji during the Chuunin Exams; the same one she'd given Pain when the man had Naruto literally pinned down with those metal spikes of his. "Then, I'm going with you."

He looked at her, surprised. "A-Are you sure? You're still a kunoichi of the village if you leave you'll be labelled a missing-nin," he told his girlfriend; the blond didn't want her getting hurt because of him. Because once she goes through with this… then there will be no coming back from it.

Hinata still gave him that fierce, determined look. "Yes, I am."

The blond let out another sigh before giving his girlfriend a fond smile. "Alright, we'll leave together." Naruto quickly made another shadow clone, who promptly got to work on getting Hinata's stuff packed up.

They had to do this quick before Tsunade caught wind of Hinata going with him. Both of Naruto clones came back nearly ten minutes later, scroll in hand that contained their clothes. Though the first one had another scroll on his possession; it was food for the road. Especially ramen, since it's quick to make and can last a long time. Quite nice for their situation. At least that was his excuse... He had to have some nice things, damn it!

Naruto took the two scrolls from the first clone, while the second-handed Hinata her own before they both dispelled now that their task is done.

He took Hinata by the hand and pulled her towards the door. "C'mon, let's get out of here before they find out and send any hunter-nin's after us."

Hinata nodded and followed Naruto outside of the house, and away from the Hidden Village and the Land of Fire. To hopefully start a new life.

----

Present time...

There was a certain point in time where Naruto thought he could take on anything and everything. That is certainly true; but, there comes a day when you lose all will. You lose your meaning in life. When Sasuke left, he briefly lapsed into that mindset, Pervy-sage knocked him out of it.

Then when Pervy-Sage died, he had fallen back into that mindset once more. Iruka Umino was the one to knock him back to his senses at that time.

Yes. The days where Naruto lost his will to do anything had happened in the past. But he would always kick back, stronger than ever.

What they did to him… sending hunter-nin after him because of what he was. To say the least, it made him leave the Elemental Nations; he was so well known he wouldn't be able to go anywhere without being recognised. And since he was being hunted down, he had to leave.

And as he walked along the dirt path, Naruto looked at his girls, Ophelia and Riful; the blond had to admit leaving the Elemental Nations - still a stupid name by the way - was one of the best decisions he made.

He had been informed it would take him more than a week to get to Musha, the Southern Region of the continent that Luciela had taken over. And in Alphonse, the Northern Continent where Clare and Jean were going, would take around a week for them to get to Pieta, their destination if they maintained a fast pace.

He asked Riful where Pieta on the island was and she told him. The loli is a living encyclopedia of the island.

They were ahead of him by four days, and Naruto remembered they were going at a fast pace before they had… gotten preoccupied.

Naruto blinked, a rush of memories flooding his mind. Just moments ago, the clone he'd left with said blondes finished up, leaving poor Jean pounded within an inch of her life, before helping her and Clare get dressed and on their way. Despite struggling to stand, let alone travel, they had confirmed to his clone that they'd be in Pieta within three days... assuming nothing else holding them back.

Once they were on their merry way with a goodbye kiss from each, the clone had promptly dispelled.

"So, where are we going anyway?" Ophelia asked.

"Well with Clare and Jean arriving in Pieta in three days, I have to be prepared to help them when they finally call me." The blond answered her. Naruto brought up his hand and clenched it in front of his face. "Which means I'll have to train to keep my skills sharp."

"But you're plenty strong already. You don't need to train." Riful pointed out, perplexed. Why would he need to train if he was already this strong?

Naruto lowered his hand and looked down at the Abyssal one of the West. "There's an old saying where I'm from, 'Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.'." He looked ahead of him and chuckled. "Just because I'm strong, doesn't mean others won't improve and catch up to me. I can't make it impossible, but I can make sure that it's a damn hard goal to reach."

Riful looked up at him, squinting. "You were never this strong? Ever?"

Naruto scoffed. "Of course not! I'll have you know, it took me years to get to where I am now." Seeing as Riful and Ophelia didn't believe him, the blond tried to use an example they were more familiar with. "Alright, the so-called 'silver-eyed witches' are numbered, right? The lower the number the stronger they are and vice versa?"

Ophelia was the one who confirmed it. "Yes. Number 1 was the strongest warrior of all, with Number 47 being the weakest."

"Alright, well, believe it or not - but nearly five years ago I was the equivalent of Number 47 in my generation…" he smiled in amusement, at the shocked and disbelieving looks he was getting from them. He chuckled, adding. "I'll let you sink that in for a while."

Both girls stopped dead in their tracks. Did they just hear that right?

"Wait…" Riful began.

"You mean to tell us…" Ophelia continued.

"You were the equivalent to Number 47!?" the two of them exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeeeep!" Naruto drawled out. "Never judge a book by its cover ladies," he told them, and after the shocking revelation that their lover was one of the weakest of his generation they took it to heart. Never judge a book by its cover indeed.

A few minutes later Naruto came to a stop and turned and faced a tree. He looked up at it and nodded to himself. "Alright, this looks like a good place to start."

Naruto brought his fingers to a hand sign Riful saw once, who shuddered with arousal when she remembered the amount of fucking she was put through. Ophelia, however, was giving him an odd look; never having seen this technique before it wasn't surprising she had a confused look on her face.

Naruto let out a cry of, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and Ophelia was gobsmacked when she found herself surrounded by Naruto's. There had to be a hundred of them at the least! Riful had to keep herself from taking one Naruto clone aside and having her way with him. She wanted to know what he was using them for exactly.

Then Naruto, the real one, stepped out in front of the assembled clones and stood before them with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Alright! Everyone, form ten groups of ten!" he barked.

Riful and Ophelia both watched as the one hundred clones all got into ten groups of ten in an orderly fashion.

Naruto looked at the assembled groups. "Groups one through four, I want you to train in chakra control. That means tree walking, leaf splitting, and all three stages of the Rasengan are allowed." He would have added water walking, but there was nobody of water nearby, as far as he knows.

Said groups all saluted the original and got to do just that. And to the shock of Riful and Ophelia, two entire groups started running up and down the length of the entire trees, they could get their feet on.

"The hell?" Ophelia said in stunned astonishment. Riful didn't say anything, but she slowly nodded her head in agreement. The hell were they seeing? This defied the very laws of physics!

"Groups five to eight, I want you to work on hand to hand." Naruto gave said groups a stern glare. "In your base form, understood?"

Groups five to eight saluted him and went to a different area altogether, so they won't disturb groups one to four.

"Groups nine and ten I want you all to work on that."

Groups nine and ten all nodded before chakra leaping high up into the sky, where they quickly vanished over the treeline. Naruto wanted to work on his Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode away from Ophelia and Riful since he's pretty sure they'd try to fuck them right then and there if they saw one group working on his chakra mode.

Ophelia and Riful were silent. Too shocked to say anything by the defying acts of physics happening before them. After a moment, though the former recovered enough to speak.

"...Naruto, what are we looking at here?"

The blond in question grinned at Ophelia. "This, Ophelia, is my training. Everything they learn comes to me once they dispel. It's my go-to technique when it comes to training."

Their thoughts went wild with that. And after a quick think, they finally understood how Naruto got as strong as he is. Or so they thought. "So... if you learn everything they do, then that means you can have decades worth of training done in a single day." Riful deduced in utter awe, as she looked at her lover in something akin to adoration.

That method of training was ingenious. It's no wonder he's so strong! And as for Ophelia from what she can sense, they were all equal in strength with the original! She can't even tell a difference between them!

----

A fair distance away from the group was Rafaela. After retrieving Clare, Galatea and Jean the former Number 2, now 5, was about to leave and go back into exile now that her job was done.

Rubel, however, had other plans. The young man had to be watched. To be monitored. An entity powerful enough to remove Dauf without any effort on his part had to be watched; it was something she agreed with.

The past four days had been nothing but torture for the former exile. Since all they had done during that time was nothing but fucking. They were fucking like rabbits for the past four days and by the twin goddesses of love, it was driving her nuts!

And when a new yoki signature approached the castle, the young stud- No! The young man walked out, she thought something was finally going to happen.

But nope! They started fucking, as well!

Yeah, she was getting more than a little on edge… and aroused.

Then to her shock, he upped and disappeared on her. At first, she thought he had detected her and was compromised, but that didn't turn out to be the case because he appeared back inside of the castle a heart-pounding thirty minutes later.

Nothing happened after that, relievingly enough. But after twenty minutes or so had passed, the Abyssal one, awakened being - because that amount of yoki can only belong to a former warrior - and the blond man finally moved out of the castle. Finally!

She kept her yoki as low as possible, making it hard for even the most skilled sensor to detect her, and followed them at a distance. They stopped after an hour or so of walking and then…

Rafaela wobbled, nearly falling to her knees in shock and shamed arousal as she felt the male's yoki split from one to twenty-one while still retaining its potency! How in the hell was that possible?!

That's… not good. She doubted the Organization would be able to handle someone with that kind of power. And he has Riful wrapped around his finger from the looks of it. Along with a few of her… fellow… hybrids…

She had to try and get him to work for the Organization. With his set of skills, with an Abyssal One around his finger, it would simply be too dangerous for him to remain as is. Rafaela sucked in her lower lip as she rubbed her thighs together.

Yes, that was precisely what she'd do. She'd go over there and try to get him to join the Organization… and maybe - NO! She was definitely not about to try and have sex with him! She just needed to calmly approach him, introduce herself, ask him if he was accepting new love… DAMN IT!

Taking a calming breath, Rafaela steeled herself. She was going to march on over there and get him to join - THAT WAS IT!

With that thought beaten into mind, she stood up straight with a determined look and ventured forth, silently praying to the Twin Goddesses that her self discipline would hold out.

It was fairly easy to find them. The male wasn't trying to keep his yoki suppressed. Then again due to how massive it was, such efforts would probably be useless. When she got within listening range, behind a tree, it was to hear the end of a conversation.

"...head down south, to get Luciela. Does that sound good?" she heard the male say. Rafaela froze; he mentioned her sister. Why; why mention her? Was he going to try and get her wrapped around his finger, too?

That thought irked her… While Luciela was now a monster, she was still her sister! No, she couldn't allow it! For him to do… that was unacceptable! Brow furrowing, but otherwise keeping a calm and controlled expression Rafaela marched right out and into the open. Purposely making her presence known to them.

----

Seconds after finishing talking to Riful and Ophelia, Naruto picked up a new yoki signature. It just… appeared out of nowhere. And it was surprisingly close!

This was followed by the sound of plated boots clanking against the ground. While surprised the blond, Riful and Ophelia were quick to look towards the person approaching.

It was to his great surprise, that he saw the scarred woman from four days before, walk out from behind a nearby tree and onto the dirt path, before coming to a stop and look at him - and only him - with a flat gaze.

Naruto, however, was confounded by her presence; just what was she doing here? Didn't she leave with that man? And how come he didn't sense her? Why didn't Kurama tell him they were being followed?

"...Uh…" Naruto awkwardly looked at Riful, and then Ophelia - both of whom shrugged, basically telling him to handle this himself. The blond then looked back at the one-eyed woman. "Hello, again?" He awkwardly greeted her.

Rafaela had a stoic look on her face as she approached. A perfect poker face if Naruto ever saw one; however, the blond noticed there was a slight tremor in her legs. It was barely noticeable unless you were to try and look for it.

She came to a stop in front of the blond and had to look down since she was a few inches taller than him.

"I need to talk to you," Rafaela said to him; she then looked at Riful and Ophelia with the latter glaring at her and the former having a look of complete indifference.

She was surprised to see Number 4, Ophelia with him and was quick to realise the blonde had awakened. Kinda easy to see since the iris of her eyes were no longer silver, but green instead.

"Alone," she added after a moment of consideration. Getting him away from these two was a top priority for her. Getting him to consider joining the organization and take her as his new love - NO! That is not what she is here to do!

Luckily for her, she kept her inner turmoil from showing.

Sensing some negative intent to his right, Naruto was quick to put his arm out when Ophelia - who had her eyes narrowed dangerously - took a step forward. She was about to rip this woman to shreds for her audacity!

However, as she was about to go and do just that, Ophelia stopped when Naruto put his arm out and gave her a look.

'I'll handle this', was what his face said.

Sighing, Ophelia gave Rafaela a dirty glare as backing off. To her credit, Rafaela didn't so much as twitch at the scathing glare on the woman's face. But this action confirmed her suspicions, this young man managed to tame an Abyssal One and an Awakened Being! Both of whom were four and one ranks below her; which was nothing to scoff at.

And what's more, they're listening to him instead of ripping into his body and tearing his intestines out.

A skill such as this had to be used for the greater good!

Naruto gestured for Rafaela to lead the way, who in turn nodded and walked away. Shoving his hands into his pockets the blond followed the woman. He could feel their eyes on his back.

As she watched Naruto and the one-eyed woman walk away, Riful looked up at Ophelia.

"So...how did you and Naruto-Sama meet?" The brunette asked, putting her hands on her hips.

Ophelia looked down at Riful and grinned. "Well…"

----

As he followed the one-eyed woman leading him away, Naruto had to wonder what she wanted to talk to him for. And why she was still around when he saw her leave with that man in black.

He could feel her presence back then when she first showed up. However, he didn't sense her yoki until she revealed herself, which was as clear as day now.

Still… if she was following him, Riful and Ophelia… did that mean she was around four the past four days, too?

"So… what have you been up to since we last met?" He asked the woman, in an attempt to start up a conversation.

That got a reaction out of her, albeit a still very subtle one...

Rafaela stiffened, pressing her lips together to keep from scowling, before calming back down. "Not important," she replied evasively.

"Uh-huh…" he didn't believe her, but wouldn't press any further than that. "So... what is it you want to talk about anyway? Given the way you're acting, it has to be important." he pointed out to her.

Rafaela came to a stop along with Naruto. She looked around and deemed the place to be far enough away from any possible eavesdroppers. Neither of the awakened tried following them, nor did the other… twenty copies of the young man. It was safe to talk.

She took a deep breath, exhaled and turned to look at the young man behind her. She frowned. How should she word this? "Would you… be interested in working for the Organization? We could use someone with your skills."

Naruto got a light scowl at the thought of becoming someone's personal weapon again. "I've been one part of an organisation already. I'm not too keen on joining another," he told the woman with a flat tone.

While disappointed, Rafaela wasn't going to give up. N-Not because she wanted to have sex with him or a-anything! It was to protect her sister! And to keep him close!

"Are you sure? With your ability to tame awakened beings you can control them. Keep them in line."

Naruto sighed; this was what she wanted him for? To be honest he expected… more? He didn't really know what he was expecting but he was expecting something a little more than a request to join some organisation he didn't know.

"Yeah. I'm sure. Now, is there anything else?"

"Yes, in fact; there is." suddenly Rafaela gave him a cold look, surprising him. "What do you intend to do with Luciela?" She demanded in a no-nonsense tone.

Naruto was surprised. "How do you know Luciela?"

"She's my sister." was her flat answer.

Naruto blinked in surprise. Well, this was unexpected… so, this Luciela chick had a sister and by the look, this woman was giving him, she wasn't about to sit idly by as he… "tamed" the Abyssal one of the South.

Naruto crossed his arms and gave the one-eyed woman a curious look; he didn't think the Abyssal one of the South had a sister, which means this woman is older than she looks. "Right. And let me guess: you don't want me going to her?"

Rafaela's only response was to scowl at him.

"I'll take that as a yes." He sighed. What to do, what to do? "What do you intend to do?"

He got his answer when the scarred woman roughly shoved him up against a tree and pressed herself against him. Then, Rafaela turned beet red, as she thought about how exactly she was going to word this. "I… I intend to… offer myself in exchange."

Naruto blinked owlishly, having not expected this. Just as he was about to speak, though, she interrupted.

"D-Don't get any wrong ideas!" she stammered, "I'm only doing this to protect my sister from you!" The way she spat that last word made her opinions of him rather clear.

Exhaling Naruto held the woman by her arms and gently pushed her away. "Look, I'm pretty sure you're not thinking this through-" he was stopped from finishing when Rafaela suddenly pressed her lips to his. The only thing that startled him more was the force behind her kiss. It was clumsy - clearly, something she hadn't done often, if at all - and just as heated as it was aggressive.

Instead of pushing her away, though, Naruto mentally shrugged and pulled the scarred woman to him. He moved one hand to her back and the other behind her head as he reacted to her advances in kind. If she wanted to do this, fine. He'll let her do this. But he'll make damn sure she'll end up wanting it in the end.

At first, Rafaela stiffened at the blond's attention but slowly came to accept it. She closed her eye moaning as she felt his tongue wiggle against her lips, seeking entry. The woman cautiously opened her mouth and darted her tongue out to meet his. There they began to wrestle for dominance.

Taking this as his cue, Naruto quickly overpowered the older, but far less-experienced woman, gently but firmly beckoning her to the ground.

Try as she might to mentally resist, Rafaela put up absolutely no outward fight. Her knees buckled like those of a horny schoolgirl as her eye went wide and she turned beet red. Once he laid her down, situated between her legs, Naruto's hands then roamed freely about her body, caressing and fondling her in areas and ways no one else had ever dared to touch.

She mewled into his mouth as her pleasure nodes were lit up while he ravished her body. Why was it so hot all of a sudden? Rafaela whined when Naruto pulled away, a bridge of saliva connecting their tongues.

"Take your armour off," he told her.

Cheeks reddened, and out of breath, the woman got up and did just that, starting with her vambraces. Soon after, she pulled out her sword, placed it aside and removed her backplate and spaulders, and then her fauld. Finally, Naruto helped with her sabatons.

Then, he was atop her, once more, kissing and fondling the one-eyed woman with just as much vigour as before. Rafaela reacted in kind, hugging him close. Then, he started lifting her top. The one-eyed blonde put up no resistance, though, cooperating as he stripped her of what little garments that kept her stigma and well-toned body hidden from the world.

Then, Rafaela gasped in surprise as she felt a warm tingle travelling down her body's greatest blemish. Whatever he was doing, though, the woman could sense no ill intent… and it felt rather nice. Once the feeling was gone, Rafaela felt his hand cup her sex.

She let out a lewd moan at the feeling and instinctively rolled her hips against his appendage. However, before she could gain any more pleasure out of this Naruto pulled his hand away. Rafaela opened her eye and looked up at him in dismay.

"Wha… why'd you stop?" she asked, almost pleadingly.

"Because I did what I set out to do: heal your scar." the blond pointed out to her as he gave a nonchalant shrug.

"B-But what about the other four?" Rafaela asked him as she quickly got up on shaky legs. "You- you fucked them!"

"Because they came onto me." Naruto pointed out to her. "I didn't have much of a choice in the matter either." which was a complete utter, and total lie on his part. He could have refused at any time, and he was strong enough to fight them all at the same time at that.

Rafaela bit her lip nervously, averting her gaze. Should she? Hell, could she even consider such a thing?! Just as Naruto was about to turn away, she grabbed his arm without thinking. Her body just… acted on its own.

Smiling with his back to her, the blond wiped the smile off his face as he looked back at the one-eyed woman questionably. She took the initiative, pressing her naked body against his and shoving her tongue into his mouth. At the same time, she took hold of his hands and guided them to her ass, where he proceeded to fondle and knead to his heart's content.

Whimpering into his mouth, the one-eyed woman let her hands trail down Naruto's body, before fumbling about his trousers. No matter how much she denied it, no matter how desperately she wanted to say otherwise, she needed him, right now…

Naruto withdrew from the kiss giving her a devilish smirk. Then, he cupped her sex once more, causing Rafaela's knees to buckle. The blond went down with her, chuckling warmly. "Eager, aren't you?"

Rafaela blushed harder than she knew was possible, averting her gaze. Naruto held her chin and made the woman look at him; smiling he brought her in for another kiss as he laid her down on her back with him in between her legs.

"You're so sexy when you blush like that." he purred seductively, as he caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers.

"S-Stop saying that! I'm… I'm only doing this s-so you don't go after my sister! I-It's not like I was seeking you out so you could do... this to me!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow hearing that; this was an oddly specific denial if he ever heard of one. Then, he smirked. "Oh, really?" He leaned down, scooting back, before licking her lower lips in just the right place.

Rafaela yelped.

"So, you don't want me to pound you like a drum, then?" He chuckled, licking her, again.

"N-No!" she whined; her mind said no, but her body - more specifically her cootch - said yes. "No, I d-don't… want that..." she sucked in her lower lip to keep herself from whining when his tongue slithered past of her lower lips and started wiggling against her frilly walls. Something Rafaela was able to do, albeit barely much to her shame.

Then, to her dismay, Naruto spread her folds and licked her directly on the clit.

The one-eyed woman snapped right then and there, her juices splashing all over her man-NO! Even as she was brought to the first orgasm of her long, lonely life, Rafaela hung on by a thread, vehemently denying with the very last bit of resistance she had that she was enjoying this.

Despite that, she was. Her whole body twitched and her toes curled. The sky was spinning, the world went silent and a loud, pleasured shriek echoed throughout the woods as a massive wave of pleasure slammed through her. Was this what it was like to cum? Holy shit, no wonder Riful was so addicted to it!

Naruto pulled away from her dripping cootch and licked her juices off his cheeks and mouth. She subconsciously leaned into his hand when the woman felt it lovingly caress her cheek.

"You taste pretty nice…" Naruto admitted. "Now, I would love to have you some more… but if I don't get back to Riful and Ophelia, I'm pretty sure they're gonna end up looking for me."

Rafaela whimpered pitifully. She stared longingly at the blond's back as he walked away, leaving her by herself in the clearing.

She… she had to remember the mission…! Yes! That was it! The mission to get him to work with the organization! If she couldn't convince him now then…

"W-wait!" she called out and to her relief, Naruto did stop. The blond looked at her from over his shoulder. "L-let me come with you!" if she went with him, that would increase her chances of getting Naruto to switch sides!

The blond stared at her for a long while, Rafaela growing more and more nervous with each passing second. Then she got her answer.

"Alright." he relented, though he had a smile on his face. "Get your fine piece of ass clothed up and follow me."

Rafaela blushed, again. Still, she refused to acknowledge that she was enjoying this. "Very well, then." She muttered shyly.

----

A few minutes later, Naruto and a fully-dressed Rafaela returned to Riful and Ophelia. Then, the one-eyed woman finally noticed something amiss and looked up to marvel at what she saw.

There were four groups of Naruto's. One group of 10 were running up on trees. Running! Another ten had leaves held between their fingers, and they were being split apart by an unseen force. And the last two groups were creating a revolving sphere made of pure energy.

It was unlike anything she had seen before.

Riful giggled at her expression. "Amazing, isn't it?" The Abyssal loli's tone made it abundantly clear how proud she was of her new mate. "Can you believe that it's not as powerful as the one that killed my previous consort? Hmm…? What was his name again…?" she questioned herself, cutely tilting her head to the side in thought.

"Can't remember his name?" Naruto teased her. He couldn't blame her really; that oaf did look like an idiot. And was slower than he was. That's saying something!

The blond walked over to Riful and placed his hand on her scalp, and she smiled beamingly at him from the affectionate gesture. Ophelia chuckled at the sight, admiring how cute they looked.

As for Rafaela… something deep inside made her want to deck that little bitch and mount Naruto right then and… She viciously dislodged such thoughts as quickly as they came with a violent shake of the head. No! Just... no!

"So what exactly are you planning, Naruto?" Ophelia asked as she bumped her hip against him in a teasing manner. "I know we're going to the North, but what's the plan exactly?" she added, with wagging eyebrows.

Naruto chuckled. "Aside from potentially meeting up with Jean and Clare, it depends on what's going on. First priority's to ensure their safety, obviously."

"Aw…" whined Riful, "No eating guts?"

"Unless it's the enemy, then no. No eating guts, babe." Naruto flatly replied. Then, he shrugged. "But, who knows? Maybe we'll find a bandit camp along the way."

Riful pouted but nodded.

Rafaela just… stared. This man had seriously tamed the Abyssal to such an extent?

Then Naruto frowned upon gaining a thought. "Say, Riful I have a question."

Said loli looked at him from under his hand. "Hmm?"

"You said you've never... aged, right?"

She sighed and crossed her arms against her almost non-existent chest in a huff. "Yes, as I mentioned before, I never aged. I was like this for... two… maybe, three hundred years?" she told him, gesturing her almost-undeveloped body with a glower of irritation.

Naruto frowned in concern. "Why is that?"

His questioning captured the attention of both Ophelia and Rafaela. This was going to be an insightful discussion, the two of them could feel it in their bones.

Riful shrugged. "Beats me. I never knew why. Odd, considering I was more developed than this when I was a warrior of the Organization."

Naruto tried to imagine what Riful looked like as a hybrid. Silver eyes, pale blonde hair that did not look as if they were ribbons and a slightly bigger bust came to mind. But for some reason, it didn't seem right. He just couldn't see her looking like that.

Shrugging, he patted her on the head. "Don't sell yourself short." Ophelia snorted at that. Heh… short… "You're cuter than all hell."

Riful blushed, giving Naruto a halfhearted glare.

"Oh?" Ophelia suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist; purring into his ear seductively as her hands slowly trailed down to his pelvis. "And what about me…?"

Naruto smiled, giving her a light swat on the rear. "I've always had a thing for the playful ones," he said. "And you look damn good in that dress."

To his credit, Naruto did not jump, or yelp, when he felt the elf-eared woman's hand over his dick. She giggled into his ear and leaned in to kiss and nibble at his neck. Riful, not liking being ignored tried to get some attention brought back to her.

She whined and rubbed her scalp against his hand. Almost like a cat trying to get attention.

Naruto chuckled, hugging the loli close and rubbing her back. "You're so cute!"

They turned their attention to Rafaela when she, quite loudly, cleared her throat. "Is she always like that?" the one-eyed woman was referring to Riful and how she was acting. Something Naruto was able to pick up on.

"I've fucked Riful for four days straight. Ophelia was a single day." Naruto told her pointedly. "This is Riful on a tame day." There was a pause. "I'm pretty sure Ophelia was always like this though. Albeit a bit worse before we ran into each other nearly three weeks ago."

Said woman unwrapped her arms around his waist and sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck. She did try to kill him at the time. Though in her defence, she was off her rocker at the time!

"Not one of my best moments…" she also killed numerous humans before becoming an Awakened Being, not that she'd tell anybody that.

Rafaela scowled. That should be here in their place- NO! Don't... THINK, like that! Taking a calming breath, she looked back to Naruto only to realize that Riful had her arms wrapped around him as she tried to lick his tonsils. Meanwhile, Ophelia was suckling his neck once more and undoing his pants.

Turning beet red, the one-eyed woman simply couldn't contain herself. A dreadful pang of jealousy wracked her to to the very core. She clenched her fists and marched on over there, not knowing what had come over her.

Unseen by Rafaela was Ophelia glancing in her direction. She had one of the smuggest smirks on her face at getting a reaction from her.

Naruto, however, was so busy with Riful that he failed to notice until the third pair of hands pulled his pants down. Poor Rafaela didn't know what hit her.

Said one-eyed blonde let out a startled yelp upon being smacked in the forehead by the beast that she'd just released. Holy shit it was huge!

She looked to her left when Ophelia sunk to her knees beside her, giggling all the while. And then to her right when Riful sunk to her knees also. Both awakened ones took hold of Naruto's immense, 15 inches long cock and lightly stroked it as they cooed and whined with aroused want.

Rafaela turned beet red and snatched the head between her lips with an audible "nom" before licking the very tip. It tasted strange… but pleasant? She slowly bobbed her head at first but picked up the pace when she heard Naruto groan happily.

Said blond chuckled, placing a hand on her head. "Eager, aren't we?"

Ophelia scoffed. "Eager? This bitch was begging for it!"

So lost to her lust was said bitch that she didn't even hear the awakened blonde insult her. She just moaned happily at Naruto rubbing her scalp and started gently caressing his balls with one hand, working the shaft with the other.

Ophelia gestured to the one-eyed woman with a dismissive snort. "See! She's a complete and utter whore! Put a cock in front of her and she'll become submissive!" she spat in disgust, which was ironic considering the elf-eared woman was pretty much the same way after meeting up with him again.

Naruto reached down and caressed her head lovingly. "No need to be jealous, Ophi," he scolded gently. "You'll get your turn."

Riful, on the other hand, decided to be a little… playful, whispering naughty things into the one-eyed warrior's ear. "Tastes good, doesn't he?" she asked. "Oh, you should feel what it's like when he goes all the way!"

Seeing what the loli was up to, Ophelia joined in. "It's amazing." She moaned aloud. "Oh~ the way his thick cock thrusts in and out. How it reaches your most inner depths. How it just grinds against the right spots…!"

Rafaela whimpered pitifully, doubling her efforts.

"And that's not the best bit… oh no." Riful murmured into the one-eyed woman's ear purringly. "The best bit would be after. The loving way he would hold on to me after a nice, rough, dicking is soooooo addicting~"

Naruto, on the other hand, was very, damn amused by this. He knew what they were doing and instead of getting them to stop, the blond instead allowed them to go on with it. He wanted to see just how far they can push her before the woman gets her senses back.

Rafaela shuddered, a pang of lust wracking her once more. Her loins ached. Her starving cootch cried out to be filled with this strapping young lad's hot, potent jizz. She could feel his balls tightening, his shaft twitching… he was close and the one-eyed woman's mouth watered. So lost was she that Rafaela couldn't stop if she wanted to.

So aroused was she, that Rafaela grabbed Naruto's ass and started slamming her face into his crotch. Taking his cock into her throat and out again. She had no idea what she was doing, but nothing and no one was stopping her!

Naruto groaned, shuddering at the one-eyed woman's ministrations. Holy shit, she was getting into it! He almost came right there, just from the shock. Placing both hands on her head, he couldn't help but thrust into her. If she wanted him to fuck her throat so bad, who was he to decline?

Rafaela moaned happily. Why was she so happy about this…? About being used like a…a toy? It felt so right. Yet, so wrong. A shiver went up to her spine as she felt him stiffen. Then, he let out a pleasured grunt as he blew his load directly into her stomach. Rafaela moaned happily, swiftly withdrawing so she could taste it.

"Look at her, Naruto-Sama." Ophelia purred with a sickening grin as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Here's another one that got tamed by you."

"Not completely." Riful countered. "Naruto-Sama still has to claim her body… completely."

Rafaela's eye shot open and she turned beet red upon hearing that. Now snapped out of it, she recoiled back as if burnt, coughing on a glop of seed that went down the wrong tube. Naruto wasn't done, yet, though, and several more shots followed, coating her face and hair in white as she fell on her ass.

Naruto couldn't help but let out a sheepish chuckle at her heated glare.

"Ah ah ah," Ophelia mocking wagged her finger. "You're in no position to be angry here. You are the one who got on her knees, and started sucking on that magnificent cock of her own free will."

The one-eyed woman averted her gaze, vehemently denying - if only to herself - that the other blonde was right.

"Oh my! He's still erect!" Riful squealed.

"Riful, I've been fucking you for four days, non-stop. You should know it takes more than that to satisfy me, by now." the blond pointed out to her with an amused smile.

"I… I need a bath," Rafaela sputtered, hastily trying to use that as her excuse to get out of this before it escalated to her getting ploughed within an inch of her life.

"There's no river nearby," he informed the one-eyed woman, much to her dismay.

Then Ophelia looked at him. "Why don't you use that to clean her? You used it to clean off the blood on me after all." she reminded him; that water blast of his was damn funny in hindsight.

"That's a good idea, Ophi!" he looked down at the one-eyed woman and asked her politely. "What do you think? You want to get clean right this second or wait until we find a river or something?"

She had a bad feeling about this, but against her better judgment, Rafaela relented. "Fine."

Naruto placed a hand into the tiger seal and said, "Alright then, brace yourself. Suiton: Mizurappa!"

Rafaela yelped in both surprise and shock when a jet of water suddenly shot out of Naruto's mouth. She gurgled when the water got into her mouth and covered her head protectively to keep the fluid from getting in anymore. Then, it was gone as quickly as it came, leaving the hapless warrior resembling a drowned cat.

She spat the water from her mouth and coughed; then glared up at him with her one good eye.

"Don't look at me like that. I did tell you to brace yourself." the blond told the sitting woman.

"It's true. He did." Riful pointed out to Rafaela in a non-helpful manner.

"And it's your fault, to begin with," Ophelia added with a dirty smirk. "If you didn't pull away and waste all that delicious cum you wouldn't have gotten dirty."

Rafaela scowled but said nothing as she got up. Then her eye twitched at seeing Naruto's dick throb. As one would expect of a white outfit, hers had become transparent from getting drenched by Naruto's technique - thereby exposing her breasts to him. "You mind putting that away? We… we need to head North and check on your other women."

Again, she tried using the excuse to keep herself from just hopping onto him right then and there… and she wasn't fooling anyone.

Nevertheless, he did as she asked, much to Rafaela's relief… and to her well-hidden disappointment.

"Alright. There you are. It's gone." the blond told the sitting woman once he pulled his trousers and boxers up. He offered her his hand. "C'mon, a pretty lady like you shouldn't be on her knees."

Rafaela took Naruto's hand and was pulled to her feet. What she didn't expect was for her to be pressed against him upon standing. The male in front of her wasn't expecting it either from the looks of it but didn't seem to mind.

"Well, this is a position I wouldn't mind being in often." Naruto joked.

"I bet," she muttered with a halfhearted glare.

"You're not exactly resisting either." he pointed out, then the blond gave her a sly smirk. "I guess you offering to be my girl, in exchange of not going after Luciela did have some merit to it." he slipped a hand under her cape and claymore so they were chest to chest.

"I… I told you not to get the wrong idea," Rafaela began.

"Too late," Naruto chuckled. "Besides, you're cute! Can you blame me for fantasizing a bit?"

The poor woman could feel the heat coming off her cheeks from that complement. It certainly had nothing to do with that… bulge pressing against her. Nope.

After a brief pause and awkward silence, Naruto and his girls were on the move.

"Naruto-Sama, what about your copies?" Riful asked, gesturing to the still in-training shadow clones that were behind them.

"They'll disperse when they're done," he said dismissively. "No need to worry about them; I'll gain their memories, no matter how far away I am."

The three girls looked at him in wide-eyed amazement. The possibilities that came to mind were very interesting… and utterly terrifying, in the case of Rafaela.

"Although… leaving them independent is a risk in itself." he pointed out with a chuckle. "They do have my personality, after all. No telling what kind of trouble they might get into."

He did have that one dream where they started a mutiny against him because of the way they were treated. That was weird, and scary at the same time.

"Can you disperse them by yourself? Even if you're far away?" Riful asked him, with Ophelia and Rafaela wondering the same thing.

"Yeah, I can. The Kage Bunshin was originally made for infiltration and reconnaissance." he let out a chuckle. "It wouldn't make sense if the user can't cancel it someplace else, would it?"

"Having a technique like that, it would have made our former jobs as warriors, so much easier," Riful said, sighing.

"Having any techniques like that would make anything easier." Rafaela pointed out. She can't help but wonder how things could have been different if she had been able to use this Kage Bushi - was that it? - all those years ago.

Would the experiment with her sister have failed still? Would Luciela still be here, as a fellow warrior?

Unfortunately, she would never know of that.

Riful hummed as she tapped the corner of her mouth. "Hmm. You know, I'm pretty sure Luciela will try to take my territory once she realises I'm no longer there."

"What do you want to do if she does try?" Naruto asked her.

Riful nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders. "Well, try to take it back obviously." she'll allow the Abyssal One of the South to take her territory though. Her lover wanted to tame Luciela, so what better way than to let the lady of the South try and take over her territory?

"Well, there's a bright side to all of this," Naruto said to them with an easy-going smile.

"And that is?" Ophelia asked.

Naruto hooked his arms around the waists of Ophelia and Rafaela and pulled them to him. They gasped when they felt him grab at their asses.

"Well, one of them, is me getting three beautiful girls by my side!"

Rafaela blushed heavily, how the hell was she enjoying this?! Ophelia and Riful, on the other hand, simply giggled happily. More so for Ophelia, who stuck her butt out so she could feel his hand on her ass more.

Now that they were on the move again Riful thought it would be the best time to ask some more questions. Just to pass the time. "So, Naruto-Sama you said you were the equivalent to Number 47 correct?"

Rafaela snapped her head to Naruto in shock. Say what now?!

Completely unaware of Rafaela's shock and growing terror, Naruto answered the loli. "Yeah. When I started four to five years ago, I was weak. Not power-wise mind you; I had that in spades. But, there's only so much you could do when you had all of that power and none of the right techniques to exploit that power."

"So what does that mean?" Rafaela asked, despite her growing terror.

"I mean I had the power to match the equivalent of your number one, but not the training," he informed the one-eyed woman. "In other words, if I were to go up against your Number 47 when I was thirteen years old, I would've gotten my ass handed to me." the blond groaned as he buried his face into his hands, to the bemusement of Ophelia and Riful. "Suffice to say I was a loud-mouthed idiot, who would often bite off more than he could chew."

Ophelia looked at him; she really looked at him. "...I can't see that," she said.

"Neither can I to be honest," Riful admitted.

Naruto grinned. "Good," he chuckled proudly. "I went through a lot to improve, believe me!"

"I'll say!" Ophelia said as she put her arm over his shoulder and leaned against him. "If you managed to get this good in that short amount of time then you must have been some kind of prodigy."

"He had that technique to help him out." Riful ever so helpfully pointed out to her. "If he created copies of himself to train, then it's not that impressive." she meant no disrespect by it, but the loli was only stating her opinion.

Naruto chuckled sheepishly. "I actually didn't know about the 'receiving the memories' part of it, until two and a half years after I learned it."

Now THAT had gotten the women to look at him, each had varying amounts of disbelief. Rafaela had a lot of disbelief on her face. Riful had a minor amount showing; the only way you could tell was the arch of the brow. And Ophelia was showing high amounts of it, but not to the degree Rafaela was.

Riful, was, unsurprisingly the first to recover. "What age were you when you first learned this technique?"

"I was thirteen. I'm nearly eighteen-years-old now." the blond informed her.

"And what age were you, when you did learn about the memory thing?" Ophelia was the next person to ask.

Naruto chuckled sheepishly again. "Fifteen; two and a half years later."

"How in the hell did you not notice that for two and a half years?" Rafaela finally asked after getting out of her shocked induced disbelief.

Naruto shrugged. "Honestly, when I started, I merely used the Kage Bunshin as a distraction or to overwhelm my enemies through sheer numbers alone," he admitted to them. "I never thought about using them to train. And I was never told about myself getting their memories until it was pointed out to me."

"That's… appalling." Rafaela said. "You should have known the ins and outs of your technique."

"To be fair, I was never actually taught it," Naruto pointed out with a shrug. "I learned it from a scroll that I was tricked into stealing by one of my instructors." then he scowled, "That's the appalling part: all of my teachers were complete shit at their job, either out of spite towards me or just plain incompetence. Depends on which one you're talking about. In fact, out of all of my instructors, there was only one person who liked me. Didn't know what the hell he was doing, mind you, but at least he tried."

"Huh. That clears up a whole bunch of things now." Ophelia muttered thoughtfully.

"So, you had a bunch of lame instructors who were blatantly trying to sabotage you?" Rafaela asked and when Naruto confirmed, the one-eyed woman proceeded to say. "Why hasn't this been reported?"

Naruto sighed, giving her a serious, albeit dejected look. "It was. Nothing was done about it. Needless to say, there are reasons I left that damn organization. And why I won't join another."

"Can you tell us why?" Riful questioned.

"Well apart from one I already told you?" he quipped, "It was fear. After… an enemy faction was defeated, I became so powerful everyone started to fear me. They feared what I was capable of and I was ordered to retire. So, I left. If they didn't want me in their military, then I had no reason to stay. Given the abuse I suffered - which is an entirely different story in and of itself - the choice was obvious." he sighed and unhooked his arms from the waists of Ophelia and Rafaela. Then he started to growl in a downright menacing fashion. "But I was still a weapon. And they couldn't let an asset like me go." Then, he took a deep breath. "We can talk more about that later… It's been a while, but the wounds are still fresh."

Not quite, but it certainly felt that way. It had been so long since that incident… and yet…

The girls all frowned empathetically. What did this organization of his put him through? Was it as bad as their own? For some reason, it sounded worse…

Suddenly, Naruto perked right back up. "So, you girls wanna find somewhere to stay for the night? I dunno about you, but I'm not too keen on sleeping on the ground."

Rafaela shrugged nonchalantly. "We warriors were trained to sleep anywhere, at any place." she looked at Ophelia and Riful. "I don't know about awakened beings though. But considering they use to be us, they too can sleep any time at any place."

Ophelia scowled. "I haven't been an…" she shuddered. "...awakened being for long. But I can sleep anywhere I need to."

Riful shrugged. "Same here. I mainly slept in my castle, but if it comes down to it I can curl up on a rock pretty cheerfully."

The blond chuckled. "Alright. Then that settles that. We'll go on for a few more hours. If we don't reach an inn by then, we'll sleep outside."

With that, they were off - heading North and towards what, only the Gods knew for sure...
