21 Leaving Kumogakure(18+)

Back in Kumo, Miria, Riful, Flora, Cynthia, Eliza and the twins eyeballed Naruto questioningly upon his return.

He gave them all a look and with a sigh, the blond rubbed the back of his neck. "A certain group clad in black were at the graves of Natalie, Wendy, Lily, Karla, Claudia, Juliana and Matilda. They were trying to dig Natalie up. There were two of the newest generation of hybrids with them, as well." He looked to Miria. "Any idea of what they were planning?"

Miria shook her head. "I can guess, but other than that, no. The reports you managed to steal didn't say anything about this… though they do recover the bodies of any fallen Voracious Eaters and yomas to create us."

"Really? But none of them had awakened - what could they possibly want with their bodies?" Naruto wondered aloud.

Miria pondered deeply, frowning when she couldn't think of anything.

"What about that creeper, Dae?" Cynthia asked. "I've heard that he has this… thing for dead women." She shuddered at the thought. "Maybe it was him?"

"Who's this Dae, person?" Naruto asked.

That, Miria did know. "He's the one who creates hybrids by splicing little girls with the flesh and blood of dead yomas."

Suddenly Naruto narrowed his eyes. "...this guy… he's the one that cuts you open and leaves that grotesque scar behind?" he asked; it was so long ago, but he can faintly remember promising to shove his foot up the fucker's ass that gave them their 'unhealable' scar once he finds him.

Miria nodded. "Never heard about him being a necrophiliac, though." She frowned in contemplation. "A paedophile, yes, but those rumours only sprang from him being the one to perform the conversion. There's no real evidence, as far as I'm aware."

"Right… I can faintly remember making a promise on finding the fucker who gave you that scar and shoving my foot up his ass. Now I got a name."

Cynthia chuckled nervously. "Sweet as that may be, it's unnecessary, I assure you. Sure, he's creepy, but that's not enough reason to kill him."

"Trust me, Cynthia. Men like him... some are redeemable, but some aren't. There will always be a time when you have to pull out the dead weeds. And from the sounds of it, this man is a dead weed."

Ever the kind-hearted one, Cynthia didn't like that but relented. He had a point. "J-just make sure, before you go through with it, okay? I don't want a potentially innocent man's blood on your hands."

Naruto sighed, chuckling warmly, before pulling the pigtailed blonde into a one-armed hug. "Alright," he said. "I can do that." huh, strange, why does he have a foreboding feeling that he just made a potentially big mistake?

Never mind that though! Naruto looked to those who went shopping, "So, what did you all get yesterday?"

Riful giggled. "Oh, I think you'll like it~!" she sighed dreamily. "But, we'll have to leave soon, and I don't want to spoil the surprise."

"You merciless tease," Naruto replied with a grin, patting Riful on the head and she beamed up at him in the enjoyment of being patted. She enjoyed her pats so very much! He looked at the clock and saw that she had a point it was almost 9:30, already. And they need to collect Team Samui for the trip back, well, home at ten. So they have 20 minutes more or less to get them.

Naruto looked to his girls, "Alright if you have your stuff with you now I can give you all sealing scrolls to put them in. Or if you want, you can carry them around."

"Scroll please!" Eliza exclaimed; there was no way in hell she was going to carry all of that stuff they bought. There was simply too many of them. Team Samui helped out of course, but there was too much for them to carry by themselves.

With a chuckle, Naruto took out an empty scroll and tossed it to her. And since they're able to use chakra now, they're able to use ordinary chakra scrolls now. Eliza, in particular, tended to like abusing them, as did Riful. That in mind, he turned to say loli and asked, "you want one, too?"

Riful nodded rapidly, "Yes, please!"

Naruto chuckled and took out another scroll to toss to her. He really hoped she wouldn't do something nuts… like stealing the mattresses. As comfortable as they are, they belong to this hotel.

He couldn't shake the thought that she would, though… Huh…

Riful had a mischievous look on her face as she looked at the scroll in her hand. She needed to learn how to make these things… maybe asking Naruto-Sama won't be too hard to ask. But maybe later though.

Right now, she had the stuff to take back with her! Scrolls in their hands, Riful and Eliza went to pack up all the stuff they bought with Naruto's money. Once they were done the Abyssal and former Number 17 rejoined the group; then, Naruto led them out of the room to find Team Samui.

"How are we going to find them?" Riful asked as she and Eliza handed their scrolls back to Naruto.

"Regulation dictates that all teams go to the Kage for assignments. So, taking that into account, we are likely to find Team Samui at Ei's office." Naruto informed them.

Miria hummed thoughtfully. "The more I see and hear, the more you resemble a soldier, rather than a mercenary," she said.

"You're technically a soldier, yourself," Naruto said. "Just a specialized one. Anyway, the military forces of a Hidden Village are its shinobi. We are both soldiers and mercenaries; in our line of work there is a very thin line between 'good' and 'evil', and it tends to blur. One person's hero can be another one's villain."

Miria nodded. That made sense, actually.

Flora, on the other hand... "You sound as if you have experience with this."

"My father was a 'hero' of the Third Great War." he chuckled, but there was no amusement to be had. "A 'hero' for Konoha, but a loathed 'villain' for Iwa - a Hidden Village that was on the opposing side of the war. What people tend to forget is that in wars, there are no such things as heroes or villains; they're just ordinary people, who made the right or wrong choices."

"Wise words for one so young," Riful said with a sage nod of her own. She couldn't keep the admiration off her face, nor could she help but flirt with him. "You're just full of surprises, aren't you, Naruto-Sama~?"

"Well, having a sage - a perverted one, mind you, but a sage, nonetheless - as a mentor kinda rubbed off on me. I'm a sage myself, in fact; and well, I did take part in a war myself, remember? And if you want to really think about it, you all fit the bill of being 'heroes' and 'villains' yourselves. No matter what you do, no matter how good your deeds and intentions, someone will see you as a bad person. It's kinda like that rule, where you're not allowed to kill humans."

Miria, Cynthia, Flora, Eliza, Alicia and Beth and Riful were reminded of Clare's story of how she knew Priscilla. Her adoptive mum, Teresa of the Faint Smile, had killed a small party of bandits that had burnt a town she was staying, into the ground. Then after defeating an execution squad, she went on the run with Clare.

A short while later, another execution squad was sent after her, and while she defeated them, one kept coming. Kept trying to deliver 'justice' to Teresa; her name was Priscilla. Then, after Teresa's guard was down she was disarmed - literally - and was beheaded. And she proceeded to kill off the rest of her hunting party who were called Noel, Sophia and Irene.

Yes. Many of them already saw his point. And it left a bitter taste in their mouths - well, for the hybrids anyway - to know they had been killing human beings all this time. So that 'no killing' rule they have for humans had been broken for centuries.

Riful didn't care all that much, though she did empathize with the hybrids. She was like them at one point and did follow the rules as they did, after all.

Naruto sighed, putting his hands in his pockets, before changing the subject to something less… depressing. "So… this is bound to become an issue if I don't address it, seeing as her team's heading back with us, so I want to know what your opinions are of Karui."

Miria sighed. "I… can't help but feel a bit jealous of her."

"I've noticed," Naruto said. "Why is that?"

The pale-haired brunette crossed her arms with an uncharacteristically childish huff. "I don't trust her."

Naruto chuckled at her childish reason; he brought her into a one-armed hug and pecked her on the cheek. Her cheeks went red in embarrassment, but she didn't pull away. Then he reached down and grabbed her ass.

"And why, don't you trust her?" don't get him wrong, Miria has every right to not trust her; she didn't know Karui after all. But he would like to know her reasons.

"I… I don't know anything about her," she replied, and Naruto nodded in understanding.

"I see. Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Just try to be civil, okay? You'll get to know each other, eventually." then he leaned in and sniffed her hair. "And if you're a good girl, I'll let you have me all to yourself~!" he whispered sensually to her.

Miria turned beet red. Then she looked at him and gave him a flirtatious grin, "Maybe I'll take you up on your offer~" she cooed, hooking her arm around his. Both husband and wife wiggled their noses against one another lovingly, before the former gave her a chaste kiss.

"Oh, get a room, you two~!" Cynthia teased.

"You're one to talk, you sex maniac." Naruto teased her right back.

The pigtailed blonde giggled. "Guilty as charged."

Naruto gave Miria a peck on the forehead, before moving to the front of the group, chuckling as Alicia and Beth clung to his arms, again. "You know, I should stop spoiling you girls…" there was a brief pause, as the twins gave him wide-eyed looks. Is he not going to allow them to do this anymore…? Then to their relief, he said, "Nah, spoiling you both is so much fun!" and he got his arms out of their grip and pulled them to him instead. Giving each twin a peck on the forehead, he smiled at how cutely they snuggled up to him.

After several minutes of walking, the group of hybrids, demon girl and former Shinobi all got to the Raikage's office building. Naruto led them in through the same way Darui had shown them, and since they were being expected they were granted access to Ei's office without delay. As Naruto suspected, Team Samui were there waiting on them with Ei, Killer B and Ei's secretary, Rei.

"How's it going?" Naruto greeted with a wave and grin.

"The day's been great, must you go and separate?" Killer B rapped.

"Yeah," Naruto replied. "Got a whole other family to look after, and the Organization's not going to bring itself down."

"You just need to give 'em time," Riful scoffed. "It's not like they haven't tried some stupid shit, before."

"Uh… point taken," Naruto relented. "But, I'd rather deal with them myself."

"Naruto can take on an army by himself, but, maybe he should have helped this time around," Ei told them. "He certainly has some impressive forces by his side already, but Team Samui's eager to join in." Turning to the group in question. "Give those psychos hell."

Karui chuckled menacingly, while Samui and Omoi smiled and nodded.

"I got a seal back home, that I can use that to teleport everyone coming with me at the same time. So as long as you're touching me or touching someone who's touching me, then you'll be there too." Naruto told them.

Naruto chuckled as Alicia and Beth grabbed his hands in an instant. Following them, Miria and Riful joined the circle, then Flora, Cynthia, Eliza, and finally Team Samui. Once everyone was holding hands, Naruto activated his technique and they were gone in a flash of gold.

Karui, Omoi, and Samui marvelled at the great hall they appeared in. It was big - much bigger than any chamber they'd ever been in before, and they had to blink a few times to get used to the change in lighting. While not dramatically so, it was notably dimmer - mostly lit by the stained glass windows to the west.

Addressing Team Samui, Naruto cleared his throat to get their attention. "I've noticed that there's a time difference between this continent and the Elemental Nations," he said. "About six hours, I think, though I don't know why."

"It's not a well-known fact," Samui said, "but the sun takes a certain amount of time to traverse the whole of the Elemental Nations - about two hours. They're that big. When it's 6 am in Kumo, it only 4 am in Joumae no Sato - a village on the other side of the continent. To be fair, we only know this because we trade with Joumae quite regularly."

"So, we're basically three times the length of the elemental nations away from home, then," Naruto said in bewilderment. Damn, that's far. No wonder it took him so long to get here!

Most of the other girls were equally amazed, though Alicia and Beth didn't care so much. It did explain why they were so restless at night during their stay, though. It took a good romp for them to fall asleep, and even then, it was just a short nap. Those comfy mattresses did help, though.

"Uh… well, you learn something new every day," Naruto said with a chuckle. "Thanks for the info. It might take you a while to adjust- ack!"

What he was about to say was cut short as a stark naked brunette glomped him from behind with a happy squeak. "Mine," Priscilla muttered cheerfully as she rubbed her cheek against her man's back.

Naruto chuckled warmly. "I missed you, too."

"That's Priscilla," Riful pointed out. The jealousy dripped from her voice as she added, "she's one of the other 'complicated' ones Naruto-Sama mentioned earlier. Do not provoke her; she's so strong that Kurama is worried about her."

Team Samui all took note of that, each member breaking out into a cold sweat upon hearing that the Nine-Tailed fucking fox of all Tailed Beasts was worried about this brunette. And since Riful had confirmed that s herself, is a human-eating monster girl - a complicated one - they took everything the loli said seriously. If she said to not provoke Priscilla, then by the Sage of the Six Paths, they will not provoke her!

"...why is she naked?" Omoi awkwardly asked; he did a pretty good job at not staring - Priscilla being someone that eats humans had certainly helped out with that, but for the gods' collective sake does she not have a sense of decency?!

"Clothes are annoying," Priscilla answered, confirming that she didn't like to wear clothes, while still rubbing her cheek against Naruto's back. Though this time she had her entire body against him now; and Alicia and Beth were glaring at her back.

Amused, Naruto looked at the brunette from over his shoulder, "Well, as much as I like the feel of your naked body against me, you're gonna have to get dressed." he told her and silenced her protestant whining by kissing her on the forehead. "I'll make it up to you, later."

Priscilla graced him with a tiny smile, knowing that he would. "Alright…" she said half-heartedly, before sitting back up.

While she blatantly had her privates on display for everyone to see, Karui, Omoi and Samui all kept their gaze above neck level and kept themselves from reprimanding her. They did not want to draw her ire. At all.

Priscilla whined as her stomach grumbled, hungry for entrails. Before she ran away to another part of the castle. Team Samui all blinked in shock at how fast she was moving; she was like a literal blur. There was no chakra enhancing her pace - that was all her!

"D-damn, she's fast!" Omoi sputtered, thoroughly worried.

"Perks of being the strongest," Riful told him with a devilish giggle. "Priscilla may be the youngest of us, but she is the strongest awakened here."

Naruto gestured Team Samui to follow him, and they, along with Miria, Cynthia, Flora, Riful, Eliza and Alicia and Beth all followed him as the blond elaborated on Riful's statement, "From what I know, the Organization has a numbering system for their warriors. Number 47 is the weakest and Number 1 is the strongest."

"So that would mean?" Samui asked, prompting him to continue.

Naruto rubbed his chin. "Well, think of it this way: genin's the lowest - they're basically warriors who came straight out of training, so putting it in their terms, it's their equivalent of low-tier double-digits, so from Number 47 to Number… Number 37…" he paused for a moment as Natalie came to mind; he pushed through those negative thoughts, however. "Then you have Chunin; their equivalent being the middle-tier double-digits so they would be from Number's 36 to 26. Then you have Jounin, their equivalent would be high-tier double-digits and most single-digits. So from Number's 25 to… well… I'd like to say 5. But I'm not too sure." he said with uncertainty; the blond looked at Team Samui from over his shoulder and shrugged. "It can easily by from Numbers 25 to 10, since the single digits after 10 are in a class of their own. With each number closer to one being stronger in… well… everything. And Number ones are considered to be the best of the best. The strongest, the toughest, the most skilled… The single digits can be considered as Kage class. And then you have the Abyssal Ones; they are former Number ones that have gone over their limit. You can think of them as our equivalent of a Kage. Riful of the West here is an Abyssal One. Luciela of the South - who you will meet soon - is an Abyssal One. Priscilla's... She's complicated; she's not technically considered one since she was a Number 2 when she went over her limit, but she might as well be. She is capable of curb-stomping nearly everyone in this castle combined. I might be the sole exception, because of Kurama and my wide arrange of techniques, but even he's not too sure about that."

And he had the chakra of the other tailed beasts inside of him as well; honestly, if he didn't have their chakra in him Priscilla would have a very good chance at killing him. She still does actually, since even the strongest can be killed; all it takes is one mistake, just one, and they're finished. Teresa can attest to that.

"That's… informative…" a cowed Karui said.

"That's essentially what we were told," Miria said with a shrug. "He told me I would be a joe-now-"

"Jonin - Joe-neen." Naruto corrected her.

"Joe-needs - thank you, honey. As would Flora, Undine and Veronica; the latter two who you haven't met yet… at least as far as power is concerned. I honestly have no idea what is required for someone to be promoted in your system. Eliza and Cynthia were their stand-ins."

"He did say there are exceptions; since in his words 'even the strongest warrior can be defeated by a three-year-old girl if they fuck up enough'," Cynthia added, giggling.

"You remember me saying that?" Naruto looked at the pigtailed girl in surprise. That was what he said, word for word, all those months ago.

"Of course, honey~!' she giggled.

The blond chuckled, slowing down as to allow her to catch up and pulling one of his kinkiest lovers into a one-armed hug.

"I'm surprised," he told her, "that was like, a year ago."

Cynthia giggled, again, giving Naruto a peck on the cheek.

As they were led further into the building, and showing more of the decor belonging to this continent, Samui couldn't help but ask. "So, who built this place? What is it?"

"This is a castle. As for who built it…? Some guy; he's been dead for a long time - around a hundred years or so; I restored it though from the ground up after Riful staked her claim on it. I'm also getting around to working on one or two others. One, in particular, would make a good compound for the Uzumaki Clan, eventually."

Team Samui was impressed that Naruto had restored an entire castle by himself. They suspected the blond used clones to help out, but it was still impressive. "What about the Organization? Have they made any attempts to attack you?" Samui then asked,

"They know where we are, but, no; not directly," Naruto replied. "They tried to attack one of my lovers after she abandoned her post to rejoin, but that only resulted in the team they sent defecting."

"Who were the ones who defected?" Omoi asked.

"Renne and Dietrich - whom you're going to meet soon enough - and Alicia and Beth, here." Naruto gestured to the twins. "As you know, they've become… attached to me. Almost literally, at times, so there's no need to worry about them." He chuckled, reminiscing about all the times he's woken up to find them clinging onto him. "It's kinda cute, really."

Karui couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, crossing her arms with a huff.

"Not to mention you see their naked bodies every time you wake up." Miria pointed out with a twitching eye. Seriously, every morning she wakes up, she finds those twins in his bed. Naked. And clinging to him like he's a toy!

"Now, now, you two," Naruto smiled warmly. "You know I love you, too."

Miria and Karui turned beet red at that, with the former power walking up until she was walking side by side with him like Cynthia was. Smiling Naruto put an arm around her waist and hugged her to him.

"Luckily, they have no idea you're here." the blond add as he partially looked over his shoulder to address Team Samui. "And I want to keep it that way for as long as we possibly can."

"So how do we do that?" Karui asked.

"You don't leave the boundary of the castle," Eliza told her. "I'm pretty sure the Organization will panic and do something stupid, once they realise you're from Naruto's continent. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to face another army of fucking yomas and awakened beings!"

The dark-skinned redhead frowned at that, not like to be confined, but nodded. It made sense. And while she never saw these yomas and awakened beings before, she is so not eager to find out just how deadly they are.

"I'll make sure you're at least comfortable here," Naruto added. Then, he hummed thoughtfully before saying. "I guess it would be best if we got introductions out of the way and get you settled in. Since it's already getting late, and you just got here, we'll start with training tomorrow."

"So… a day off?" Miria asked, looking hopeful for a positive answer.

Naruto chuckled and nodded. "Yes… well, kinda; you all get the rest of the day off. I'll be checking on everyone and the kids. There's also Priscilla who's hungry, and Riful, Luciela and Ophelia are probably hungry as well, so the bodies of those black-clad men will come in handy. In fact..." Naruto slipped arms out in front of him to make a clone; who then promptly dispelled to allow the other clones to knowing at Natalie's grave to start collecting the bodies the original left behind.

They just needed the heads to be placed as a warning for anyone else who tries that shit. If it's the other hybrids from the Organization who are sent there; well, he won't kill them. He'll just take them somewhere else. And if they're there to just talk, then he'll talk. He can be a civilized person.

Like he said to Audrey and Rachel: he didn't have a problem with them, the warriors; it's the Organization he has a problem with.

Karui's eye twitched at the mention of kids. The mention of bodies made her stomach turn, as well, but she said nothing.

The group came to a stop upon reaching the walkway surrounding the keep. Team Samui distinctly heard the sounds of several women training down below. "Most of the women are in the bailey - which is a fancy, local word for courtyard, I guess," Naruto told them. "Priscilla's in her room still, and there's a few in the nursery, so I'll be fetching them. Just take the staircase and it'll lead you to a walkway that leads down to them. I'll fetch everyone else and we can get introductions out of the way. If they're less than enthusiastic - and I am pretty sure quite a few of them will be - don't worry about it. They'll get used to you."

Karui, Omoi, and Samui nodded and followed his instructions to the bailey.

----

Later that night…

With a stretch of his arms, Naruto got started on making his way back to his bedroom after showing Team Samui to their sleeping quarters, once the introductions were out of the way. The girls' reaction to them being assigned to help them out with their chakra training had turned out a lot better than he was expecting.

He was expecting their reception to be a lot worse actually. But many of them had welcomed the help since they knew there was just under 30 of them altogether. And really, Naruto only 'taught' one person… well, technically three, but Udon and Moegi didn't really count. Team Samui all have experience in actual teaching, and he needed help.

He couldn't help but feel a bit proud of himself when the three of them voiced how impressed they were, at things considered, though. And now that he has helped, he can take more breaks, and more breaks mean more spending time with his girls and kids.

Not long after the introductions were over and done with, the clones he left behind at the graves of Natalie, Wendy, Lily, Karla, Claudia, Juliana and Matilda came back; with seven headless corpses clad in black. Suffice to say, Ophelia, Luciela, Riful and Priscilla were all too happy to eat their innards.

They did this away from everyone else of course; no one wants to see them rip into their bodies after all. Not to mention Team Samui did not want to be scarred for life when seeing the graphic display of their hands ripping through the bowels of the dead.

Naruto's attention was drawn to his chamber door when he heard a distinctly Riful-like giggle coming from the other side.

When he pressed his ear against the door he could hear there were multiple people in his room. "W-wha... why did you buy us these when you were exploring Kumo!?" Naruto heard an undignified Miria almost shout out in embarrassment.

"It's not that bad," Helen said, in a combination of amusement and dismissive. "I think it looks good on you."

Miria scoffed. "Tch. Easy for you to say, miss cat ears. Seriously, Cynthia! Eliza! Flora! Why'd you buy us these… these… embarrassing clothes?! I look… weird with these Bunny ears!"

Naruto bit back a snicker, just before it managed to escape. Cat ears and bunny ears huh? Kinky… a little curious as to what was going on, on the other side of the door, the blond pushed it open a little without anyone inside knowing.

The pale-haired brunette was beet red, decked out in a black, skimpy, leather bodice with bunny ears, fishnet stockings and a little cottontail. She had white sleeve cuffs on her wrists, a little collar with a bow tie, and high-heel slippers fashioned to look more animal-like.

To Miria's right, Tabitha was in an identical bunny suit to her captain, and just as flustered.

Off to the other side, he saw Cynthia smiling wryly at him, though she said nothing. She was decked out in a maid's outfit, adjusted to be more like those found in the Elemental Nations, rather than the native one Flora had worn in the Nile all those months ago.

It was still curiously a black and white, frilly dress, despite the distance and differences between the two cultures. Hers was longer, reaching down to the knees with short, poofy sleeves; a little, white headdress; a frilly apron; and a little ribbon tied in a bow under the frilly, high collar. She wore white stockings, simple, leather shoes, and black gloves to finish the look - her pigtails bound with the black ribbons from her other… kinky outfit.

He gulped and had to restrain himself from barging into the room. She looked so damn good in that! Naruto found Helen and Deneve sitting on the edge of his bed; though Helen was amused and Deneve was exasperated and embarrassed. He also found out the reason why Miria called Helen cat ears… because Helen was wearing a black, skimpy, leotard that showed a lot of cleavages, with cat ears, thigh-high black tights, a long black cattail and a pair of black fluffy wrist bands.

And Deneve, she wore the same outfit as Helen did. They really did do everything together, didn't they? Talk about loyalty. Naruto couldn't help but be amused.

Miria growled exasperatedly, as she rubbed her forehead. "But still, out of everything you could have chosen you picked out these clothes. No! They don't deserve to be called clothes!"

Riful snickered at her. "Oh, lighten up, will you? Do you think getting fucked by Naruto-Sama would never happen again if he saw you like this?" She grinned devilishly. "I can assure you that he's much more likely to put another baby in your belly~!"

When Naruto saw the loli, he found she was back in her teenage form, and that she too was in a new set of clothes. It was quite the sexy red and gold getup, comprised of a metal brassiere, beige and gold boots, a choker, gold armbands, and a long, red loincloth, held up with bits of gold and showing off a lot of hip and outer-thigh.

Poor Miria was reduced to a sputtering mess upon hearing the Abyssal One's rebuttal. "But- he's- I- ...guh, this is so embarrassing!" she whined, burying her face into her hands in a poor attempt to hide her blush.

Flora giggled, decked out in her maid outfit from before. Upon seeing what Cynthia was wearing, the former ginger decided to get some roleplay in and save the outfit she bought for herself for a rainy day, so to speak.

The wavy-haired woman crossed her arms under her bosom. "No need to be so embarrassed, Commander. Once he sees you, I think he's going to love it." Flora told Miria in a tone full of confidence. "Why, I'd say he'd fuck you silly the second he can~!"

Miria swore she could see steam rising from her cheeks upon hearing that.

Flora grinned devilishly and pressed on. "Oh! You should try those fertility pills I got, just in case! I could fetch them for you if you want~! I also have some aphrodisiacs. You two will be fucking like rabbits in no time~!"

Priscilla was naked, as usual, not really giving a shit as she patiently waited for Naruto to enter. She knew he was there; why he didn't walk in she had no idea. But she wasn't going to go out there and drag him in… yet. Besides this bed - no, this mattress was comfortable!

Turns out the girls also brought a dozen or so mattresses from the Elemental Nations as well. Somehow. They had brought them while they were out and about and had gotten a few storage seals from Team Samui when they were escorting them. It also turns out they were more advanced than they were technology wise - whatever that meant. But from what they were told, Naruto's home is so advanced they have a much efficient way to clean up, a lantern that can last for years and doesn't need to have its oil changed, a device that can keep all sorts of food edible for months; a chamber pot that cleans faeces out by itself, and lastly some sort of soap that is usable for cleaning hair and leaves an alluring scent that can last for several hours.

Clare was also impressed by how good the mattress felt. Never before had she thought one could even be this comfortable? The former Number 47 was decked out in a black and pink, flowery yukata with a white sash. Apparently, this was a common garb where he was from, according to Eliza, and came to innocently see how much he liked it… only to be dragged into this lewd costume party. Not that she minded - it was just surprising as all fuck.

Still, she had to admit everyone's attire was… interesting. They certainly were designed to enhance some of their features, such as Miria's bosom and butt. At the same time, these clothes made them more attractive. It made Clare feel a bit awkward, as she stood out like a sore thumb. Granted, she wasn't the only one - Priscilla did, too, but still!

She wondered if this was the only outfit they had gotten her, or if they had gotten her another as well. She wanted to know what she looked like in that outfit Miria is wearing damn it! And these undergarments feel so weird... How did the women if his country not walk funny in them?

Ophelia was there, too - decked out in a red corset-like leotard, that just stopped at the crook of her breasts, and a pair of black thigh-high tights. She was awkwardly feeling herself down, as she was not used to wearing such an outfit. Though the ponytail-braided woman had to admit, it looked damn good on her it was still awkward to wear.

"Why does this thing not cover my breasts? It's annoying." The elvish eared woman complained.

"It's not supposed to," Cynthia explained with an amused smirk. "It's meant to set the mood when you want to fuck someone - namely Naruto."

Naruto snickered, as he opened the door all the way. "You called?"

Everyone except Cynthia and Priscilla jumped in surprise when he finally made his presence known to them. Miria had her hand over her heart, momentarily forgetting what she's wearing as irritation overcame her. She marched on over to Naruto and poked him on the chest as she asked, demandingly, "How long were you standing out there?!"

"Around the time Flora mentioned us going at it like rabbits," Naruto snickered, leering at her lewdly. "I can see why. You look good in that~!" he caressed her reddening cheek as he looked her over.

Poor Miria was beet red from her collarbone to the roots of her hair, eyes as big as saucers, as she felt her heart pounding its way out of her chest. Chuckling at her reaction Naruto brought her in for a kiss, while he moved wrapped his other arm around her waist. The light-coloured brunette was so flustered she had no idea what to do; she may have offered herself to him all those months ago, and they had slept together several times since then… hell, they were even married, but never had she worn something like this outfit. Having him come onto her like this, while in such embarrassing attire and compliment her, even, made her brain short circuit.

"Woah… I never thought I'd see big sis like this…!" an amazed Helen said with her wide eyes glued to the spectacle. It was amusing and very interesting. The former Number 22 wondered if Naruto could do that to her.

Miria's trembling knees buckled and Naruto caught her, before letting his hands trail down and knead her nice ass. She was overcome and mewled into his mouth as the pleasant feeling of his fondling spread all around her physique.

Then he pulled away and grinned lewdly, "I want to see you in that as much as possible, okay?"

Miria had no idea what came over her; she just… snapped, shoving her husband to the ground and straddling his lap as she showered him with kisses. Naruto returned her affection with his shower of kisses, and at the same time, he explored her body with his hands. Mainly around her bosom and buttocks. She moaned and mewled happily, slowly undoing his clothes along the way as she enjoyed his affection.

Helen leaned forward on the edge of the mattress with wide eyes and an open mouth. Deneve was trying very, very hard to not stare; it was a futile effort because it was such an interesting sight. It wasn't every day you see Phantom Miria acting like a girl with a crush after all.

Pushing the lower part of her outfit aside to expose her snatch - turns out her fishnet tights only covered up to a certain point - Miria threw her head back and moaned as she was impaled upon Naruto's mighty spear. She was going straight for the main course. As soon as she felt her ass clap against his waist, Miria immediately rose her hips and slammed back down on him. She went for a quick, and fast pace from the get-go.

Naruto grabbed her hips to keep his wife steady and matched her pace with ease, meeting her in the middle and slamming as deep within her as he possibly could with every thrust. Miria wailed in euphoria, loving the feel of her man's dick poking at her cervix.

"Ah ah ah ah!" Miria moaned cutely, hugging her man close to her as she tried her damndest to please him to the best of her ability. "C-cum for me, my love… g-give me… a… another b-baby! Please!" she pleaded before shoving her mouth against his in a loving kiss once more.

Naruto couldn't resist her plea if his life depended on it. He hugged Miria close and slammed into her once more, hitting her cervix one more time and blowing his load directly into her womb. His orgasm triggered Miria's own as she writhed and shivered at the waves of pleasure, the feel of his liquid heat splashing at the very back of her uterus, overwhelming her. With a groan, Naruto withdrew once his spurts stopped, and he gave Miria another kiss on the lips.

She mewled pathetically as he pulled away once more, before yelping in surprise when he lifted her in a bridal carry and brought her to his queen-sized bed to rest on. Priscilla arched an eyebrow but didn't move from her spot.

"So, who wants to go next?"

"Oh, Master, so hasty~!" Cynthia giggled. "Please, allow me to clean you up, first."

"Allow us you mean," Flora corrected her with a sly smirk. "It's only right for the servants to… clean up their master, no?" She then eyeballed the other women in the room. "Your mistress, Clare, and personal slaves could all use a good dicking, though, I must say. They've missed you so~!"

With that and a couple more giggles, Cynthia and Flora walked over to him before they dropped to their knees and immediately started licking his shaft.

"I'll be sure to get them a nice, deep pounding, then." he grinned, reaching down to caress and pet their scalps.

Riful smiled widely at that. "Oh, no!" she mock-pleaded, and then she ran over and hugged him as she gave Naruto the most pathetic look she could muster. "Please, show mercy, master! I'll be a good girl, I promise~!"

Naruto reached over and gave the Abyssal 'teen' a firm swat on the rear, and countered. "Yes, you will be a good girl; good girls bend over and take it when they're told~!"

Helen shivered lustfully at the display. "Damn, that's hot," she whispered. "What the hell have I been missing?"

"Of course you'd find this appealing," Deneve sighed, rolling her eyes in exasperation. Her friend never failed to be such a degenerate, did she?

"Of course, I find this appealing." Helen gave her best friend an expression of mock hurt before it morphed into a devious grin. "Don't you think it's hot~? Look at them, licking that thick cock - it reminds me of the time we fucked him."

"I wanted no part of it," Deneve reminded her; she sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "But you somehow roped me into it. Like you somehow convinced me into this embarrassing outfit."

"I didn't do anything." Helen countered, with a knowing grin. "Back in Pieta you were overcome with the pleasant feeling his healing of our stigma gave to you - I merely pushed you in the right direction after I wanted to fuck him. And as for me 'convincing' you into wearing that? I merely said we had gotten some new clothes. You put it on after I put mine on."

Deneve's stubborn silence on the matter told Helen all she needed to know. Though she already knew it beforehand. They did everything together; if one of them went somewhere the other would follow. This was no different.

Naruto chuckled at the old friends' banter, finding it rather cute. "I gotta admit, your banter is as endearing as it's funny," he told them. "I can't wait to get to you."

Helen grinned and playfully growled at him, "You might bite off more than you can chew, kid. Are you sure you'll be able to handle us~?"

"Oh, a challenge~!" Naruto cackled menacingly. "Let's see, then, shall we?"

The former Number 22 squealed and giggled, clinging onto her man as he grabbed and picked her up. His hands-on her ass, his lips on her neck, Naruto nipped and suckled at her, kneading and fondling Helen's rear.

Crossing her arms, Deneve looked away with a huff; she was not getting involved in this... Nope. No way. Helen can't make her… then the pixie-haired woman glanced at Helen and Naruto from the corner of her eye when she heard the former squeal with joy. Naruto was showing a lot of enthusiasm, she realised.

She quickly shifted away when Naruto placed Helen on the bed before him, kissing a trail from her neck to her lips, where the former Number 22 cheerfully returned his affection. She roughly ground her crotch against Naruto's as they swapped spit with enthusiasm. Naruto himself groaned into her mouth at her ministrations; with a throaty growl, the blond moved a hand to knead her bosom. Priscilla was now sitting up as she took a lot more interest in what was happening before her. For him to be that enthusiastic… maybe she should have dressed up… she wants him to be that enthusiastic with her.

Oh, well, it's a little too late for her to do anything. Besides, her being naked would mean they can get straight to copulating! So that's a plus! Though she couldn't help but be curious as to why he was so clearly turned on by these strange outfits… She cocked her head in curiosity. It was so strange. Was there some kind of appeal to them? How simple… curious.

Helen mewled and shivered pathetically upon feeling Naruto's boner rubbing against her cloth-covered clit. The last time she did something like this, was when his clone got rid of that horrific stitched up wound on her torso. Really, the former Number 22 only took off the top of her two-piece bodysuit and pulled the bottoms down slightly so he could get all of it. So when he finished with getting rid of her and Deneve's stigma, the woman was so aroused that she tackled his clone to the ground and dry-humped him on the spot. She's never forgotten the wonderful sensations of that night… or the sense of dread thereafter, when it was revealed that she could have gotten pregnant as a result of their eventual romp.

Now she was wondering what it would have been like if she did get knocked up with his child. She saw the way he treated his lovers, how much love he showed them; and while she didn't want to go further than 'friends with benefits' with him, she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like being his wife, or girlfriend.

Nevertheless, the way she was being treated now was good enough for her. But, it's food for thought at least. She wrapped her legs around his waist and locked her ankles behind him, at the same time she wrapped her arms around his shoulders to keep him from pulling away. She mewled into Naruto's mouth when he squeezed her breast, and out of pure reflex, she tightened her legs around him to increase the roughness of their dry humping.

Naruto couldn't take it anymore; he needed to be inside her! Sliding the leotard aside and guiding his dick to her entrance, he made Helen go cross-eyed at the feel of her folds parting around his monstrous meatstick.

"Oooh, my god~!" squealed Helen, after pulling away from his mouth; her eyes rolled back and her nails dug into Naruto's skin at the feeling of being so stretched out and absolutely stuffed. It felt like it had been years since she last did this!

The feel of her depths squeezing him so tight, it drove Naruto half-mad as he slowly pushed farther and farther within her tight, little cootch. Oh, how he missed this one! He kissed her deeply once more, the instant he made contact with the doorway to her womb and hugged her close. Then, wasting no time, he started to move.

It was slow at first; controlled and even - to allow Helen to get used to his meatstick again after so long of going without it. Then, when Helen rolled her hips and groaned, the blond abruptly started fucking the bitch into the mattress. The former Number 22 threw her head back and wailed in pleasure as she was pounded fast and hard into oblivion. The bedchamber was filled with the oohs and awes of Riful, Cynthia and Flora; with the sound of the squeaking mattress; with the sound of Naruto's crotch slapping into Helen's ass and the squelching of her dripping cunt trying to suck him in.

After that taste so long ago, her lower lips starved for more. Helen moaned lustfully at the pang of longing that radiated from her loins. She wanted him; she wanted Naruto to pour every last drop inside her!

"Damn, you're thirsty," Naruto teased, licking her earlobe. "You're squeezing me so hard I'm already about to cum!"

"Do remember that you could get pregnant, Helen," Deneve added exasperatedly.

"I know~!" said woman moaned back in response, "I don't want one, yet…" she added; but at the same time she didn't want her cat outfit to get dirtied. Well, there's an easy way to solve that little problem~!

"'Yet', huh?" Flora giggled, "Seems like someone's thinking about having a baby~!"

Helen blushed heavily at that, unable to help but wonder what it was like. But, despite all that wondering, she didn't want one. Not yet at least. She wasn't ready. She wasn't ready for the commitment. So, why was it so hard to let go of him?! Her legs weren't behaving. They weren't doing what she wanted them to do, which was precisely to let him go! A hot shiver ran up her spine as she felt Naruto twitching very familiarly within her. Shit!

Her eyes went from silver to demonic, gold with feline slits as she forced herself with all her might to push Naruto off of her and consequently the bed. Then, she got off the bed herself, and dropped to her hands and knees before him, immediately sucking him off.

Naruto yelled in surprise when Helen pushed him off. He didn't a chance to act when Helen got up and prowled on over to him like a cat stalking its prey, before dropping to her knees and taking his dick in her mouth with an audible 'nom'. He moaned loudly, placing his hands on the sides of her head and rubbing her scalp as he fucked the blonde's face.

As he looked down at her, treating her mouth like it was a pussy, the blond had to admit: Helen looked damn good in that sexy catgirl costume. She had the perfect blowjob face as she took him further and further into her throat.

The blonde bobbed her head vigorously, jerking off what wouldn't fit in her mouth with both her hands, as she did her damnedest to ignore her loins wailing in hunger at his absence. Damn it, that was going to drive her batty! But, still… she wasn't ready to take that risk.

Naruto groaned, feeling himself get dangerously close once more, and he threaded his fingers in her hair in preparation for the inevitable. Helen felt the familiar sensation of his prick twitching in her mouth, and so she moved her hands to his thighs and bobbed her head at twice the pace. She sucked and slurped around his throbbing cock, hard.

That was what did him in. Naruto roared as he bucked his hips and emptied himself into her waiting cunt. Helen's eyes shot wide open in shock at the sheer volume of his discharge. Her mouth was already full, and it was just the first spurt! And he already came inside Miria! Holy shit! She did her damnedest to swallow it all, regardless. She stroked his dick to wring as much out of him as possible; moaning all the while as she gulped down a mouth full after mouthful after mouthful of the stuff. Despite having never done this before, despite this being her first time, Helen swallowed it all like a pro. Not a single drop had been wasted.

She withdrew, releasing Naruto's dick with an audible pop as she fell on her ass. Air! She needed air! She took in several lung fulls of air as her chest heaved from lack of oxygen. Damn, that was overwhelming… Helen was honestly surprised she had not passed out!

Deneve was beet red by now, and openly drooling. Damn, that was hot! But, before she could decide whether or not she wanted to join in, the former Number 15 found herself having to wait.

Priscilla had decided she's waited long enough. If that Helen chick wasn't ready to have his kids, then someone had to pick up her slack.

A lust-filled Priscilla scowled, her brown eyes changing to demonic gold, with feline-like slits as well; she got up on her hands and knees on the bed, and then much like a cat or dog, she leapt off the bed, sailed over Helen - who hunched down in reflex from the flying brunette sailing above - and tackled her man to the floor.

Naruto yelled in surprise as he, all of a sudden, found himself flat on his ass... again.

"Unlike her, I am ready," Priscilla growled longingly and lustfully. "Put one inside me, or I swear, I'll transform, and keep fucking you over and over until I get one!"

Having already fucked her in her awakened form, Naruto wasn't all that threatened or concerned by her. But, he was most certainly eager to oblige. Grinding his crotch against hers, his hands on Priscilla's hips, the blond smiled at her naughtily. "Now, how the hell could I say no to that?"

Then he pressed his lips against Priscilla's in a hungry kiss. At the same time, he guided her damp cootch to his prick, before easing her down on him. She mewled with joy at the feeling of her vulva being stretched open for the second time in nearly two weeks. She missed this feeling; this absolute fullness! And when he kept bringing her down and down, and down until she felt his bulbous head pressing against her cervix, the brunette shuddered as a silly looking grin spread across her lips.

As for Naruto, he grits his teeth, as it took everything he had to keep himself from railing Priscilla's tight-as-fuck pussy from the get-go! Fucking hell, she was still ridiculously tight! Priscilla wasted no time getting right into it, and Naruto got himself moving not long after her. Their pace was slow at first, but then the two sped up in perfect sync as they lovingly looked each other in the eyes.

On the sidelines, Clare couldn't help but frown as she watched them copulate. While she had forgiven Naruto for bringing Priscilla into the family, the former Number 47 was still jealous as all hell. The lingering animosity towards Priscilla, and her role in Teresa's death in particular, also had yet to fully heal, though she was certainly making progress in that regard… slowly but surely.

She wished he would just… up and brutally fuck her or something. Dominate her completely; Priscilla was too strong and too powerful to kill, Clare realised that now, after being this close to her for so long. And she was sure Priscilla was still suppressing her real power. Not to mention she remembered how fast Priscilla managed to reattach her arm after Noel cut it off. If she can't kill her, well, she'll try and settle for the next best thing; which is hoping Naruto would fuck her so hard her mind will fucking break to the pleasure!

Naruto leaned in, pulled the brunette close and started trailing kisses along her collarbone, her neck, and her jawline and then back down again, as he started pounding her fast and hard. Priscilla threw her head back as she wailed in pleasure, his dick rubbing her in all the right places as he pounded her as a young woman should be.

He trailed his kisses to her heaving bosom and latched on her right nipple. He proceeded to flick his tongue against it, licking and sucking her nub as he fucked Priscilla to cloud nine and back.

Priscilla was both squealing and moaning, as Naruto had his way with her, and she loved it! She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling his head against her breast to get more of this feeling he was giving her. This pleasure~!

Naruto grinned viciously, flipping them over so that he was on top and she was under him. He placed his hands between her head, reared back his hips, and after taking a moment to watch her give him a seductive but challenging grin, he thrust back inside and doubled the pace right off the bat.

Priscilla's eyes became wide as saucers, almost maddeningly so, as Naruto fucked every. Single. Inch, of his prick inside of her still tight as hell cootch. His hands kept her in place; it also served to let her feel every single inch of his prick going in and out at a torturously fast pace. She simply couldn't take it. This… this was too much! Priscilla rolled her eyes back and wailed as her juices gushed forth.

Naruto grunted at the sensation of her inner walls clamping down and milking him for his seed. His arms almost buckled from how deliciously tight she was. Lowering himself down on top of her, Naruto grabbed her shoulders for leverage and slammed into her with a roar.

Clare shuddered hungrily at the sight, staring as Naruto's throbbing dick, and contracting balls as they emptied themselves straight into that brunette bitch's womb. The former Number 47 licked her lips, now sitting in a puddle of her juices. She couldn't wait to feel what it's like to be so filled once more.

Oh, she and the other girls were going to have the time of their lives!

----

The tension in the air was so thick it could be cut with a knife. Audrey and Rachel stood side by side, stoically, but nervously, as the eyes of the elder and other handlers of the Organization stared down at them from behind the semicircle table. They were stoic, controlled even, but Numbers 3 and 5 knew better.

"...George, Simon, Gregory, Theo, William, Jack and Bart are all dead, then? How did this happen?" Rimuto demanded.

"There was an odd glyph of some kind on the gravesite," Audrey answered. "I believe the one called Natalie was his former lover. The glyph was on her grave. It glowed the second Handlers George, Gregory and Bart started digging into the earth, and then the Ladykiller just… appeared."

"Appeared?" Dae asked, intrigued. "How so?"

"Out of nowhere in a yellow flash," Rachel answered. "He straight up killed Handler George by ripping off his head with his bare hands as he threw his body into a river. I've never seen anything like it… not from a human, at least."

"We... engaged him… to defend the other handlers," Audrey added. "But he was fast. Too fast. While they fled, he took notice and him just… vanished. There was no yoki either. One second, he was in front of us and the next he was in front of the rest before slaughtering them."

"He didn't use yoki?" Dae questioned to himself aloud. He was very intrigued by that. "What happened after that?" he asked them.

"We re-engaged him," Rachel continued nervously, she knew they were disobeying direct orders in doing so. "Seeing how fast he was, I had a feeling if we tried to retreat he would be able to catch up to us easily. So, our options to us were to either retreat and die, or try and fend him off."

"What abilities did he show? Was there anything unique?" Dae asked once more with more and more eagerness showing in his voice. The more he learned about this Naruto the more and more interested he became. Rimuto was getting irritated with Dae interrupting him, but he allowed the Organization's lead scientist to ask the questions. They were gaining valuable information out of this, so he'd might as well be lenient this time.

"He was able to effortlessly catch our claymores with just his fingers." Audrey recounted with a repressed shudder. "He could also turn into this… utterly foul, four-tailed fox monster. Merely standing in its presence was… overwhelming."

"He had this presence around him that left us terrified." Rachel said, utter humiliation dripping from her voice. "Youki does not work like that. The way he transformed… it was sickening."

"How so?" Rimuto asked, prompting the Numbers 3 and 5 to continue recounting the tale of their encounter with the Ladykiller.

Rachel went first.

"His eyes turned to what ours would look like when we use yoki, only his was blood red. His yoki, when he finally brought it out, it… peeled off his skin and seeped out, before engulfing him in a monstrous shell. Whatever that thing was when Audrey tried to strike him down, her blade was unable to cut into him... He… he didn't even blink when she hit him in the face!"

"He knew we wouldn't be able to hurt him," Audrey said. "I fear, only a Number 1 would stand a chance against him. Or an army of them."

Dae chuckled at that. Oh, he was going to have so much fun~! Those studies in reviving his collection, upon receiving this new funding and incentive, were leading to so many discoveries! Sadly, they were still brain dead, the regeneration fluid was efficient at restoring their bodies to their full physical peak, but that was it. Their bodies were fully functioning as well. That included the usage of their yoki. So, he was making some very good progress in figuring out how to fully resurrect them.

He just has to figure out how to get their minds working again. Rimuto wanted them to be battle-ready, and that is what he is planning to do. But this was a setback. The fluid had been quite the breakthrough in this project, it set him forward by a few years - possibly a decade or two! He just needed to find something to… start them back up. Perhaps, the rainy season? His studies did show that harnessed lightning could make a body move, so utilizing it straight from the source - rather than a storage device - seemed like a good idea.

"He… also said, he didn't have anything against us warriors. Only you." Audrey added with uncertainty. "I have no idea what he meant by that, however."

Oh, that sounded interesting! Rimuto smirked. "Hmmm… Perhaps we can get him while his guard is down, then?"

Dae frowned, not liking the sound of that. His experiments weren't even complete, yet! He wasn't going to have his funding cut if they slipped a knife in this boy's back, was it?

"Are you sure that is a wise thing?" the scarred man asked the Elder. "Even if this new information is helpful, the Ladykiller can outpace a Number 3 and 5, combined."

"It's valuable information, regardless…" Rimuto said. "We shall stash it away for later in case it comes up again. Continue with your efforts, Dae. That seems to be the best option, as it is."

"Very well," Dae inclined his head, then he addressed the Numbers 3 and 5 once more. "Do you have anything else to add?"

"The Ladykiller said he had more powerful transformations, and I believe the one he used against us was one of his weaker ones." Audrey said, and then remembered what she had heard from former residents of Pieta, "The survivors of Pieta, those who stayed close by, had reported seeing a 300 feet tall Nine-Tailed Fox, just before an explosion shook the earth and the town was reduced to a crater. If that was the Ladykiller in one of his more powerful forms…" She shuddered at the thought of going up against that.

"Also, the bodies of the handlers have gone missing… as well as the horses, cart and wagon." Rachel said. "Their heads were put on pikes, over a sign that says, 'graverobbers, ye be warned'."

"A theatrical one, this boy," Dae chuckled in amusement.

"Yes… theatrical…" Rimuto muttered. Then he addressed Audrey and Rachel, "While you two would normally be punished severely for insubordination, I will be lenient as you have provided us with valuable information on the Ladykiller's abilities. For now, you are dismissed. Do not disobey again." with the threat hanging over their heads, Audrey and Rachel turned and stiffly marched out of the room once they were dismissed.

Once the doors were closed behind them Rimuto and the other handlers looked to Dae. "This sets us back." the Elder growled, his stoics bleeding away to one of irritation. "How goes your attempts at reviving your collection?"

"Slow, but steady. The fluid I spliced together from the yoma and voracious eaters we have created had done wonders; their bodies are returned to peak fitness, and I suspect they can use all of their abilities when they were alive. It has shortened the length of this task by a decade or two." his enthusiasm bled way to one of irritation and frustration. "The main problem I am facing now, is they are still brain dead. I am looking for viable routes to revive them, with their minds, personalities and techniques intact."

Rimuto frowned. "See to it that you do."

Dae shrugged; what else could he do? He'll have to do more research and hope someone in the past within the Organization had tried to do a similar task to what he is and had the foresight to write it all down for someone in the future to use as a reference.

Rado, a white-eyed, bald man, with a circular metal object on his head that had a black fabric hanging from the back to cover his neck, and was clad in a black cloak looked to Rimuto with a small frown. "What about Ladykiller Naruto? What are we to do with him now that we gained this information?"

"For now, we do nothing, but continue as planned," Rimuto replied. "We simply do not have the resources and manpower to make use of it, just yet."

And their forces were spread thin as it is. The yoma are running rampant, in all regions, except the West and the North. It seems Isley is keeping to himself, apparently wary of provoking Naruto and his women, after watching Pieta getting reduced to a crater in the blink of an eye. His rumoured consort, Priscilla had abandoned him to search for the Ladykiller. Her whereabouts are currently unknown, but, one of their newest warriors - Number 7, 'The Winged' Anastasia - had reported sensing two massive yoki signatures somewhere in the Dragonspine Mountains.

Though she was too far away to get an accurate reading, it was safer to assume the worst: that Priscilla had joined his harem. The situation was only getting more and more dire for them, and unless they solved it, the Ladykiller's group will only get more powerful.
