14 Training Begins(18+)
One day later
For the Abyssal Ones, voracious eater and hybrids, unlocking their chakra were easy. But because of what they are, their chakra reserves were suppressed. Everyone had chakra, even them, but Naruto had to kick start it by sharing his own with them once again; and since they were so used to using yoki they had to change, to adapt.
It was an effort that took them several weeks - those who were pregnant were delayed by a few months - but they managed.
Now, like Naruto, they had two sources of energy to use. All the women needed was to learn how to manipulate their new energy source. They had a tougher time because again, they were used to using yoki.
Luckily they had Naruto to teach them and now, all of them had a basic understanding of its mechanics. Those who were pregnant, like Galatea and Jean, had to sit it out or risk hurting their children. That didn't mean they weren't allowed to sit, watch and learn though. And he didn't teach them any advanced techniques since they had to learn how to instinctively draw their chakra first; the ones who had the most trouble with this were Riful, Luciela and Ophelia; understandable since they're awakened beings, but in the end, they too managed to draw their chakra out as often as they used yoki.
In the barracks/armoury, stood Naruto in a large, empty room. The room had a seal matrix on the walls in preparation for what he was going to teach them next. He looked over his shoulder when his girls came in the room one by one. Veronica, Jean and Galatea, being pregnant separated from everyone else and watched the proceedings.
Helen looked at the walls in curiosity, as did Deneve, Flora and Clare. "So what are we doing today?" the former Number. 22 asked, crossing her arms under her bosom as she looked at him expectantly.
Naruto grinned broadly and said. "Today, we're going to use one technique I think you're all going to like. It'll help you get more control over your chakra." to show what he meant the blond walked to a wall, and to everyone's stunned disbelief he put a foot upon the surface followed by the other and walked up on the wall until he was on the ceiling.
Excluding Alicia and Beth, everyone remembered seeing Naruto jumping on top of a tree branch to cut Jean down when she got herself caught in one of his snare traps. And he's going to teach them how to do this?
Oh, fuck yes!
Naruto looked down/up at them and grinned as he put his hands in his tunic pockets. "This ladies, is a chakra exercise known as 'Tree-Climbing'; but since we don't have any trees here, we are going to have to use the walls," he told them; and as he began to explain on how to achieve this result, Naruto walked back to the wall he walked up on and went back down until he was halfway. "To get this result: you have to focus a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of your feet, and using that to climb a wall without using your hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, you will lose your footing and fall off. Like this."
To show what he meant, Naruto made the chakra flow to his feet weak enough to cause him to lose his footing and fall off. He flipped and landed on his feet, however, and quickly walked back up the wall to show them another example.
"If it is too strong, you will be pushed away from the wall, causing the surface to break around the point of contact and again, you will fall. Like this."
To give them the second example, Naruto put too much chakra in his feet and as a consequence, he was pushed off the wall and to the floor as the surface around his feet broke. The seals glowed as the wall repaired itself.
"If you can do this, then you will be able to take a more advanced training method: water-walking. It's exactly what it sounds like. Any questions?"
"Are you able to use this… exercise to stick to any surfaces?" Miria asked as she thought of the many benefits this training will give them.
"Not all of them. There's Water-Walking, Tree-Walking, and I heard there is Sand-Walking; I never tried that one, but I think it follows the same fundamentals as Water-Walking. I never attempted Lava-Walking, or Fire-Walking for y' know obvious reasons."
Several women winced at that. Not one of them could blame him.
Truth be told, he wasn't even sure there is a Fire-Walking exercise, the same went for Lava-Walking. He heard about something of the like in the latter's case being practised in Iwa, but that could have easily just been a case of the village's people trying to make themselves sound badass.
Naruto cleared his throat. "Anyway, even if you damage the walls, the seals I put on will automatically repair it. I recommend taking it one foot at a time though, that way you'll be able to measure how much chakra you need to make sure you don't get pushed off. Also, you might need to get used to vertigo. The human body's not exactly built to hang upside-down for long periods. Any other questions?"
"Are we allowed to ask for advice if we get stuck?" Yuma asked.
Naruto chuckled. "I wouldn't be a very good teacher if I didn't do that. I've only taught one other person, so I'm a little new to this. But, I promise to do my very best and explain, give advice, or a hands-on example if any of you wish it."
"Can we 'fight' again after we get this down?" Helen asked with eager anticipation.
Naruto shrugged. "If you're up for it. This training exercise took me a full week, from morning to evening, to get down. And I was exhausted after each day. To be fair, though, my chakra control was complete shit, at the time. It didn't help that Kurama being sealed inside me shot my chakra reserves above jonin level either, so I had a lot more trouble with it than I otherwise would have." he rubbed his chin thoughtfully as the blond looked at the women one by one. "If I had to guess - anyone in the lower to single digits would have difficulty getting this down, while those in the higher digits would find this easy… then again, yoki's harder to control than chakra, so, who knows? This could be a cakewalk for all of you."
The women exchanged some looks here and there for a moment; then, they turned and walked to the walls of the barracks/armoury and placed their right or left foot on the surface. Galatea and Jean watched as they tried to get their foot to stick to the wall. Those in the lower digits, like Yuma, Clare and Tabitha were having it easier than those in the higher and single digits, like Miria, Undine and Cynthia.
Nevertheless, they were learning and Naruto was expecting them to get it down by the end of the week. Miria is the type of person who would help her comrades and would not allow them to be left behind.
So he - to him at least - had a good reason to be so confident in their success.

Two days later
"...where is he?" Priscilla muttered to herself.
It's been a little more than 11 months since her encounter with Naruto's clone, and Priscilla could not get him out of her head. He was… interesting, though she knew not why. There was just something about the man that drew her towards him.
As she surveyed her surroundings, the spiky-haired brunette was garbed in a red, form-fitting leather dress, brown shoes and a long cloth cloak draped over her shoulders.
His scent was still strong, here… But he wasn't here. Did he just leave recently? She walked up the path to a small ledge overlooking a waterfall. It was a rather scenic place. Quite pretty. She came to a stop before seven swords stuck into the ground like grave markers. The one in the middle had fresh roses placed upon it and there were some odd etchings on a stone placed in front of the sword and the area was well-maintained.
Then, she remembered the clone mentioning several of his lovers being in the area that Isley attacked. She frowned; was this the grave of his lover? Priscilla closed her eyes, then inhaled and exhaled; her eyes opened once more - his scent was especially strong here. She must have missed him by mere days.
"...dammit." she cursed. Priscilla sighed; what to do, what to do?
----
Meanwhile, in Wave...
It's been three days since those JDLR men arrived in Wave Country; three days since Isobu gave them that warning. And it's been for three days that Team Samui was discussing one subject: Naruto Uzumaki.
The three of them were walking to the local cemetery, mainly for privacy, but also to pay respect to the deceased.
"Omoi, you're overthinking things again…" Karui growled in irritation.
"It's not overthinking if the possibility, is there!" the lollipop addict shot back. He moved the lolli to the other cheek before saying, "What if those men were here because their 'big problem' is Naruto, and the man in the fedora wants hired help to kill him?"
"Fighting the Uzumaki would be not cool," Samui said before Karui could reply. "He's too strong for anyone team or several. And we're still recovering from the Fourth Shinobi World War -- no one would want to commit in the search for him."
"No one except Konoha," Omoi pointed out. "They tried to have his chakra sealed away because they thought he was getting too powerful. Someone there is an obvious threat to him. Why do you think he left?"
"It wasn't just Konoha." Samui corrected him, "The other Hidden Villages thought he was getting too powerful as well. However, those who thought so were far in between."
"But those who thought so were powerful people." Karui pointed out, "People who the Daimyos listen to. Hell, one of them was the Tsuchikage, himself! His granddaughter thought otherwise, but as long as Oonoki remains in power, he's a potential threat."
"I remember that," Omoi mused. "But I thought Oonoki meant Naruto was too powerful and needed guidance, though? It certainly sounded like he did. And if I remember, wasn't Naruto the main contender to becoming the next Hokage? He isn't the smartest person; loyal to a fault, but outside of combat, he can be really stupid. He would have had to need advisors, counsellors, and the like to help him, right?"
"He had Tsunade," Samui pointed out. "And before she stepped down, she had her own to help her out, I hear. And there was Copycat Kakashi - the Sixth Hokage - and Shikamaru of the Nara Clan would have most likely been his advisor, as well."
"True," Karui concurred, "but, he can be really stupid inside of combat, too - from what I was told, his battle tactics tend to just be a mixture of Kage Bunshin, Taijutsu, and different variations of the Rasengan. The result tends to be destructive to the environment."
"To be fair," Omoi countered, "it is effective. Simplicity's not necessarily a sign of stupidity."
"Effective sure, I'll give you that. He did save our asses in the war using said tactics. But he's too predictable."
"Many people in Konoha and the Kazekage himself would beg to differ."
Samui blonde frowned. Her teammates were bringing up some damn good points about potential threats to Naruto's wellbeing. For them to keep him from becoming Hokage, no less, would mean the people responsible would be powerful... and the most likely candidates for starting some kind of shitstorm soon.
"It's a shame we can't just ask him ourselves. It would make things a lot easier." Omoi sighed.
"Ask me what?"
The entirety of Team Samui nearly jumped out of their skins when they heard a familiar blond speak. They turned on their heels and faced him, as Karui and Omoi looked to their team leader. Samui was shocked. Her chakra sensory told her this was actually him. How?!
"When did you come back?!" the blonde exclaimed.
"Just a few seconds ago actually," Naruto answered with a sheepish chuckle. "I have a seal that lets me come here anytime I want, so I can check on my kids. There's also a border seal here as well." he clasped his hands behind his back and gave them an expectant smile, "So, what's this about you asking me something? Did something happen?"
The Kumo-nin all exchanged looks. "Nothing bad, yet," Samui said. "Just something… suspicious."
Naruto unclasped his hands and crossed his arms. "Define 'suspicious', please."
"Five men in black landed in the port, three days ago," Omoi said. "A man with a fedora said they were having a big problem and wanted to hire some help with it."
"Bald, scrawny guy?" Naruto asked. "Big nose and sunglasses?" Their surprise was all the answer he needed. He sighed, "I see; can't say I wasn't expecting this… Where's he headed?"
"To Konoha; you know this man?" Karui asked.
"I wouldn't say that," the blond replied with a slight scowl. "I briefly spoke to the man a year ago. He works for an organization that's similar to Akatsuki. Their 'big problem' he is looking to take care of is yours truly."
All of Team Samui frowned at that, immediately put on high alert. "We'll get Kumo to keep an eye on him and send word to Suna," their leader said, crossing her arms under her generous bosom. "If he so much as twitches wrong, Ei-sama will have his head delivered to you on a silver platter."
"It'll help." Naruto said, "Thanks. I'll be dealing with this Organization for a while back where I'm at, so I'm going to be busy."
"Does this Organization have a name?" Karui asked.
Naruto shook his head. "No. They're very secretive; simply called 'The Organization'." he wiped his mouth as his lips settled into a serious frown. "They're abducting orphans and homeless people to turn into human-eating demons, and use their flesh once they're dead to create female warriors, that, I guess you could say are artificial half-demons? It's weird and complicated."
"Seriously?!" A horrified Omoi shouted.
Samui and Karui looked just as shocked and appalled.
"I honestly wish I was making this up," Naruto growled, a fierce look on his face. "These women become the very demons they were created to fight if they're not careful. The demons they have created are basically serving as a source of revenue as well as fodder to create these warriors for some kind of sick experiment to create a 'perfect weapon' - hence the fact that I'm trying to take them out."
"And the men in black are here to stop you?" Samui asked.
Naruto nodded. "Yeah. They are. They're not happy with me since I... took away more than half of their warriors. Though, that is more their fault than mine. They sent more than half of them on a suicide mission that I crashed. Long story short: I saved them, the Organization got pissed, and here we are."
"Something tells me you're not telling us the whole story…" Karui dryly said.
Naruto gave her a good-natured chuckle. "If I told you the whole story we'd be here for hours. The long and short of it is this: I befriended them, and made a promise to help them out."
He conveniently left out he bedded most of them. And that a few of them were actual demons. And was married to quite a few of them as well - with kids, no less! And was planning to rescue the next generation of hybrids from their clutches as soon as possible.
The blond looked back to a grave in the distance and sighed.
"...How are you holding up?" Omoi solemnly asked once he realised whom the grave belonged to.
"...I'm getting better," Naruto said. "In my experience, no one completely recovers from losing a lover, but I'm doing as well as I can. It's been three years since she died, I think?"
"It's been hush-hush," Omoi said, "No one knows what really happened. Just that she died near Suna and you went berserk."
Naruto briefly closed his eyes as past memories rose to the forefront of his mind.
----
Three years ago.
Naruto and Hinata dashed forth, heading towards Suna, as something unsettling came into range of her Byakugan.
"N-Naruto-kun, hunter-nins from Konoha are closing in!"
Naruto looked over his shoulder with a glare, "How many?"
"A full Anbu unit…" she said, then she gave her man a dead serious look. "A-Anko's leading them."
Naruto scowled, prompting his girlfriend to frown. "Hmm… didn't think she would lead them." They had become such close friends after the war as well. Why was she there?
"She's reputed to be the strongest hunter our village has, now that Tsume's retired," Hinata pointed out. "I hate to say it, but it makes sense. She's Konoha's best shot at finding you, and she's an interrogator too."
The blond looked ahead. Suna was so close… he could see its walls in the distance. Then he came to a running stop with Hinata doing the same; she gave him a questioning look, wondering why he stopped running when Sunagakure was just within their reach.
"We might as well confront them," he told her. "I don't want to cause Gaara any trouble."
Hinata looked unsure of his decision, but she got a determined look on her face as she nodded agreeing. Their decision made the couple stood and waited for their pursuers to arrive.
It took several minutes of waiting; then the hunter-nin's finally arrived with Anko leading the group. She looked solemn like she didn't want to be here but had to be.
"Anko…" Naruto greeted the Snake Mistress with a flat smile. "Fancy seeing you here…"
The woman frowned. "I'm sorry, Naruto, but I have no choice-"
Before she could say more, one of the masked men to her right said, "the deal's off if you sing, bitch."
Naruto's scowl deepened at that. "You all do know you have no reason to come for me, right? Or, were you not informed on what Tsunade had done?" His eyes turned a deep, blood red, his pupils narrowing to slits as he added, to that man, especially, "I'll say this once: go home, or this will get ugly."
Instead of answering the Hunter-nin, excluding Anko, all took an aggressive stance. She took more of a defensive one, clearly not wanting to be here, while Naruto and Hinata got ready for a fight.
----
Present time
The whiskered blond let out a shaking breath and shrugged. "Can you blame me?" Deciding to change the subject before he gets pissed off, he said, "I'll be visiting her again, soon. Let me know if something happens."
"How do we contact you if we do?" Samui asked; they had no way to get in contact with him if something were to happen.
Naruto reached into a satchel and pulled out a scroll, before lightly tossing it to her as his answer. "Channel your chakra into that and I'll be there in a flash." he paused, blinking owlishly, before chuckling amusedly; he may have just used his father's catchphrase just now.
Samui blinked at him owlishly and nodded.
Then, Naruto snapped his head to the side, before letting out a sigh. "Unfortunately, I need to cut this short. Something came up, just now." he gave them all a look, and gave them a smile along with a two-fingered salute, "It was nice talking to you all again."
Then, in a manner similar to his father, Naruto was gone in a yellow flash leaving behind two bemused women and an equally-befuddled man.
Then, Omoi leered at his sister. "You've got the hots for him, don't you?" He got a punch in the side of the head for his troubles, but seeing her all flustered like that was so worth it!
----
An instant later, Priscilla let out a squawk as she leapt back and fell on her ass. Right in front of her, Naruto had appeared out of nowhere, now standing between her and Natalie's grave.
Naruto blinked then looked down. "Oh," he said, recognising her as the girl who was with the Abyssal One of the North. "It's you." he looked behind him and found himself in front of Natalie's grave, along with Matilda, Claudia, Juliana and Wendy, Lily and Karla. He smiled sadly and put his hand on top of Natalie's sword before giving his lover and the others a nod of respect. Then he looked back to Priscilla who was still on the ground, looking up at him with wide eyes. "So, what are you doing here?"
Priscilla blinked, staring oddly at him. Then, she got up and stared more intently. What was that smell? It was familiar, for some reason. The scent of a woman... He could also smell others upon him - many others, as well as the scent of children. For some reason, it made her blush and feel a pang of longing. Why was that? She inched closer, sniffing at him.
There was another smell… a pungent and thick, but somehow pleasant one she didn't recognize. It made her mouth water, though; her loins grew hot and wet. Then, a slew of naughty images flooded her mind. Her blush deepened as she tried to physically shake the thickening fog out of her head. Why was she feeling this way? It wasn't like her to entertain such horribly lewd thoughts! So… why?
Naruto stared at her oddly. He could tell she was harmless, but just as confused as he was when she started sniffing at him. When she got close, Priscilla wrapped her arms around him and took a big whiff of his scent.
Why did he smell so good?
Naruto slowly grew wide-eyed when she wrapped her arms around him. Now that she was close - very, very close - he could feel the amount of yoki she had. It was… immense; bigger than anything he'd ever sensed here. Even Riful. who was stronger than Luciela and Ophelia combined, didn't have as much yoki as this one does!
"She is one of the non-humans I sensed when we first landed here." Naruto heard Kurama say in realization. "I didn't know she was this strong though…"
"How strong would she be compared to everyone else at home?" Naruto thought back.
"No idea." the nine-tailed fox harrumphed, "The amount of yoki she has is far beyond that of a kage. If I had to guess, she could take on all five Kages and win. Easily, I'd wager. If you had just myself sealed within you, I'm not even sure you would have been able to beat her."
"O-oh…" that's… bad. That's really, really bad. Thank god he doesn't just have Kurama sealed within him; if he didn't have a small portion of the other tailed beasts inside of him, he would have been in trouble.
"Luckily, she seems to have the hots for you." Then Kurama said in a tone of absolute seriousness, "Brat, this non-human cannot become your enemy! Whatever you do, claim her. I'd rather not see just how right I am in my assumption of her power, and I don't want to have my first friend die."
Naruto chuckled nervously, before teleporting them to a more… appropriate location. He didn't want the Nile to be a battleground if this girl decided to suddenly change and attack him.
Priscilla didn't even notice when the land around her suddenly changed to a secluded castle, miles away. It was one of Riful's other castles - an older one perched on a mountain, serving as the citadel to an abandoned town in the west. According to some old maps he'd stumbled upon, it was called Morris. He had plans to use it and the town as a base of operations, after getting it fixed up, but that was for later.
Then, Naruto hugged her close and held her ass in a firm grip. When she jumped and looked up at him, both questioningly and lustfully, he cupped her cheek and gave her a light peck on the lips.
Priscilla's eyes grew wide open when their lips touched; she didn't know why, but she liked the feel of their lips together. Her eyes fluttered closed as she pressed herself against him, moaning into his mouth as she slipped her tongue out and licked against his lips, silently asking for entry.
Naruto closed his eyes and opened his lips; he moaned when her tongue dashed into his gob and mingled with his own. He rubbed her cheek with his thumb and began kneading her rear through her form-fitting leather dress. She has a nice, firm ass too. He pulled away from her mouth to get some fresh air in his lungs, before bringing their lips together and started making out more heatedly with her.
With each passing second, Priscilla became hungrier and hungrier. She wanted more; she wanted him. and nothing was going to stop her! Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, her brown irises now a demonic gold, with the pupils becoming narrow, vertical slits. Her yoki spiked and as she held her man tight. She pulled back from the kiss and tossed Naruto to the ground, eliciting a surprised yelp from him. Her tight form leather dress was shredded from her body and her cloak flew off, as her skin turned purple, her hair turned white, and a horn started to form upon her forehead. Four wings sprouted from her back and she grew to a larger height. While not monstrously huge, she was still visibly taller than Naruto, and Priscilla immediately used that size to her advantage, keeping him pinned down with her right foot on his chest.
When the infamous 'One-Horned Monster' was finished transforming, she had small, metal plates upon her legs and torso, her build was visibly more muscular, though still lean. She even had a sexy, little sixpack. Her ears were now pointed, spikes formed upon her forearms, curved back like blades, and her fingers pointed into wicked claws. She took off her foot, lifted one hand and her fingers extended, shredding his clothes as she eyeballed her prize with a hungry, lewd grin.
"...isn't she the one you promised two of your mates to kill?" Kurama asked in great amusement. The tailed beast sounded like he was trying to keep himself from laughing at the irony. Then Kurama almost choked on his saliva when he felt the sheer self-hate emitting from her. While it was nothing like his own, the tailed beast was still surprised how much of the raw emotion was bubbling under the surface. "Uh...brat...I don't know how to explain this, but, there's a lot of self-hate in this non-human. Be careful."
"Thanks for the warning, Kurama. And as for that promise… I'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Naruto replied with an inward sigh. Shit was going to get awkward real quick when he was done here, he knew it. Nevertheless, the blond had a horny awakened being to take care of; he chuckled as he gave the transformed Priscilla a look over. "I have to admit, you were pretty cute in your human form, but you look damn hot in that form."
Priscilla blinked, her cheeks flaring up at the compliment. "You don't find me disturbing like this?" she asked, out of curiosity and out of wonder.
"Not in the slightest," Naruto replied. "I fucked Luciela of the South in her awakened form. I even fucked Riful of the West and the former Number 1's Alicia the Black in her awakened form. Including Ophelia, the organization's former Number 4. Plus, some 'claymores' are in there as well."
Then her look turned twice as ravenous as she straddled the man, pinning him down, and started grinding her wet folds against him. If he managed to tame not one, but two Abyssal Ones and an awakened being then she just had to see this for herself!
Granted she was a lot stronger than the Abyssal Ones, but if he claimed to have fucked them, then she'll put said claim up to the test. Besides' that thick musky scent of multiple women, plus one that was oddly familiar to her was driving her nuts!
"So, you wanna play, do you~?" Naruto chuckled as his eyes turned crimson as he grinned. "Alright, let's wrestle!"
-----
Meanwhile, back in Riful's… currently occupied castle, many of his lovers sensed the two massive spikes of yoki in the distance. One was Naruto and the other was… fucking huge.
"P-Priscilla," Clare whispered in both fury and horror. She recognised this yoki signature, thanks to Teresa mentally telling her whom it belonged to.
Everyone snapped their heads to Clare.
"You know who that massive yoki belongs to?" Miria asked.
"No, I don't know her. I met her, once, before I became a hybrid."
Jean cocked her head, looking at her friend oddly. "Then, how do you recognize her signature?"
Clare sighed. "You all might want to sit down. It's a long story."
----
Back with Naruto and Priscilla, the former cackled as he and the latter rolled and flailed about within the castle's great hall. Priscilla growled ravenously, pulling Naruto into a lustful kiss, as she managed to pin him down once more. Despite having been coated in a strange, golden aura, she could still feel his massive dick poking at her thigh.
She placed a hand on his chest and guided his tool to her aching folds. This was it; she was going to lose her innocence to a man she just met, and despite herself, Priscilla was absolutely giddy about it.
"What's your name?" Naruto asked her once the awakened girl pulled away from his lips; if they're about to fuck, then they should at least give each other their names. It'd be rude otherwise.
Priscilla cocked her head to the side, curious. "Priscilla. Why?" she gasped when the blond grabbed her breasts and started kneading them.
Naruto gave her an impish grin. "I wanted to know the name of the beauty I'm about to try and make an adorable child with." He let his hands slide to her hips and eased her down. Priscilla gasped and mewled at the feel of his dick piercing her folds and sliding in with impossible ease. "My name's Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki." Then, he pulled the awakened woman into a hug and kissed her with all his might. "And I'm going to breed you!"
Priscilla had no idea why but hearing him say that made her want him more than she thought possible. With that thought, the awakened woman sat up and began riding his dick like a professional hooker. "Then do it," she demanded. "Give me your children! I won't settle for any less than ten!"
His dick throbbed in her snatch as Naruto gave her a devious grin. "If you want that much then you're gonna have to prove it." His hands went back to her hips to help her keep balance as he bent his knees and started pounding her.
The one-horned woman wailed in pleasure as she did her best to keep up with him, slamming her hips down and meeting him mid-thrust.
"Y-you can do better than that," Naruto goaded. "C'mon, make me feel it!"
Priscilla gave him a heated, determined look as she clenched her muscles around his shaft, squeezing his fifteen-inch monster as she caught up with him, synchronizing her movements with his and actively trying to milk his cock.
"Oh~! That's it." he groaned, a joyous and pleased smile on his face. "But, I know you have more where this came from." he winked at her, "C'mon, don't be shy." He moved one hand from her hip to her stomach and rubbed up and down her six-pack as best he could from his position. He could only reach the halfway from the third, due to her height.
God damn, was she hot as fuck though!
Priscilla's arms extended, grabbing Naruto's ankles and she lifted herself just enough to slip his legs under her. Without letting him pull out completely. Then, she pressed his knees down onto his chest and started riding him once more. To help give her that extra 'oomph' Priscilla flapped her wings to give her a better momentum.
This was something completely unexpected for the blond; the last time he did something like this was with Riful - only she was on the receiving end rather than him! Still, he can't help but applaud her boldness for doing something like this. It made things… interesting.
"This is good enough for you?!" Priscilla howled with a menacing grin. She grunted and panted as she moved her hips and thighs on the meat stick with great force. While he was big, she was bigger, and unfortunately, his dick never managed to hit that sweet spot of hers. Her cervix. Like Luciela a year ago, the 'One-horned monster' could feel the tip of Naruto's cock tapping against her cervix; but being inexperienced in the act of mating, she didn't know what she craved, what she wanted. All she knew, is she wanted his dick fucking her; to feel her cunt full to the fucking brim.
Naruto met her menacing grin with a laugh, "Oh yeah, this is good! But…" Priscilla let out an undignified squawk when the blond somehow flipped them over, so she was the one on the bottom. Naruto hooked his arms from under her knees and pressed her legs down towards her chest. "Lemme show you how it's done!"
Priscilla mewled as she felt Naruto slide back in, his hands sliding up her calves and holding her ankles behind her ears as he ploughed into her. Her eyes snapped open in shock when two pairs of arms made of that strange golden aura spouted from his back; one pair held her ankles in place, the other pair caressed her thighs lovingly and the real pair moved down from her ankles to grab and fondle her tits.
She was in utter bliss. In this position, Naruto's massive dick reached deeper into her honey pot, just barely touching the entrance to her womb with each mighty thrust. The energy made hands on her thighs trailed down and inward, thumbing her clit and eliciting a squeal, as Naruto mashed his lips upon hers. Her claws scraped at the stone floor and her toes curled the instant his mouth made contact with hers. Then, Priscilla was washed away by the tidal wave of euphoria - her inner walls clamping down upon the member within her as she writhed about and wailed into Naruto's mouth.
Said blond grunted in exertion, swallowing his newest lover's squeals and moans. He shuddered at the wonderful tightness of her writhing folds, nearly brought over the edge right then and there. Then, he doubled his pace, slamming into the one-horned woman with paralyzing force.
Priscilla didn't stand a chance. One of the most powerful beings this world had ever seen she may have been, but as far as sex was concerned, she was nowhere near Naruto's level. She was impressive for a virgin, true, but the poor woman was currently a featherweight in comparison to Cynthia, let alone Naruto.
She nearly fainted as another orgasm washed over her. How the hell was it possible to feel so good?! The world spun and her vision clouded; her head went fuzzy and her body went numb as she literally got high off Naruto's dick.
Then, just as she came back down from her orgasm, yet another slammed into her. Rendered unable to maintain her awakened form, Priscilla wailed as she felt Naruto's dick stretch out her much-smaller cootch, still relentlessly pounding her like a champ. She couldn't take it; one last time, every fibre of her being was lit ablaze with unfathomable pleasure. Her inner walls contracted; her juices gushed forth; everything faded to white and a loud hum drowned out everything but her wails as the brunette finally came so hard she passed out.
Naruto roared in pleasure as the nigh-painful tightness of her virgin snatch nearly choked the life out of him. Her orgasm sent him careening over the edge as he slammed into her, ramming his dick past the doorway to her womb and unleashed a mighty, fresh torrent of his hot, thick, potent seed as far within her as he could reach. The overwhelming tightness of her snatch made Naruto lose concentration of his transformation; now that he was back to normal, Priscilla's legs dropped to the ground since nothing was holding them in place.
Still unconscious from the sexual satisfaction of their copulation, Priscilla either out of pure reflex or instinct, wrapped her legs and locked her ankles behind Naruto's waist to keep him from pulling out. He didn't mind; this was the tightest pussy - baring Riful and Dietrich's - he's ever fucked, there was no way in absolute hell he was going to pull out of her.
With a pleased groan, Naruto simply laid on top of her and started tracing kisses from her lips to her jawline and down her neck to her collarbone. Her cunt kept trying to milk his cock for all its seed, even as the flow stopped. As if she were taunting him, Priscilla started humping him in her unconscious state.
"Geez, you're an insatiable one aren't you?" the blond groaned with an amused grin; she didn't reply, and merely groaned as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He wasn't expecting her to talk back to him anyway, given the state she's in.
She rocked her hips and then whispered, seemingly in her sleep, "mine."
Naruto gently cupped her cheek and gave her a light peck on the lips. "Heh, you're adorable like this."
Priscilla mewled, hugging him tightly. She breathed against his ear, softly cooing as she unknowingly enticed him, and bucked her hips. Her body wanted more, it needed more of that wet heat.
Naruto chuckled, rocking his hips in sync with hers. Soon he was grunting and groaning softly into her ear, her tight as all heck cunt was still actively trying to milk him. He couldn't stop fucking her if he wanted to!
"So... good." she softly whispered. Then, Priscilla felt Naruto's lips upon hers again and her eyes snapped open.
Brown met blue, and the former pulled away from her mouth to say. "I have to say, you're not at all what I expected." He smiled charmingly. "You're absolutely beautiful. In both forms."
Priscilla cocked her head to the side, as her expression turned to one of sickness. "...You're not afraid of me?"
Naruto cupped her cheek ad gave her a particularly deep thrust, eliciting an adorable squeak from her, before asking, "why would I be? Fucking me silly and demanding to have my children isn't a very good way to make me scared of you."
Priscilla couldn't help but blush at that. She forced her blush down and gave him an aloof look. "But I'm not human; I crave innards, how can you find someone like that beautiful?" she challenged.
Naruto chuckled. "For a romantic relationship to work, a guy had to be willing to look past a woman's… quirks." he ran his fingers through her spiky locks. "I guess most guys wouldn't be as willing as I am to look past that in particular, but I'm not most guys." the blond grinned at her, "I'm already with an awakened being and two Abyssal ones, remember? I even married them all, months ago, and one even had a beautiful daughter with me."
Priscilla was bewildered; she thought he was joking before! But the pure honesty in his voice took her off guard. Were her senses messing with her? If he was lying, she should have been able to smell it, but there was no deception coming from him whatsoever. "H-how are you married to multiple women? Awakened women, at that?!"
Naruto chortled and grinned as he nuzzled his nose against the crook of her neck. "Riful fucked me out of nowhere when I killed her previous consort. Luciela seeks me out when I was using my yoki in the North. Ophelia was batshit nuts when I met her, she wasn't even aware she was an awakened being and was looking for someone. I kicked her ass and got her to calm down. Fucked her about a week or so later. Then I asked them to marry me after two to three months of staying in the Nile. They agreed." he answered and Priscilla was even more bewildered at the claim - and just like before she didn't smell any deception whatsoever. It was so strange to her!
Naruto left out Clare since he wasn't sure if Priscilla knew who that was. It was better to be on the safe side with that. All Pricilla knew was two of his lovers wanted her head on a platter; though that may have been changed thanks to the revelation of the Organization's shady dealings.
It's very fucking unlikely that Clare and Ophelia no longer want to kill Priscilla, years possibly decades worth of anger can't just go away in a day, after all, but the possibility of diffusing their situation is there. They were with him for a year after all, and a lot of things can happen with him involved.
Speaking of Ophelia… he had to help her come to terms with herself, back when they first met. Judging by the amount of pure unadulterated self-hate Kurama felt within Priscilla, it doesn't seem she had come to terms with her new nature.
He should help her with that. He managed to bring Riful into his mindscape by using his chakra, he can do the same again only reverse. Instead of her going into his mindscape, he'll be going inside of hers.
With his decision made Naruto took Priscilla by surprise, suddenly shoving his mouth to hers and tried to wiggle his tongue past her lips. At the same time, he gently held the side of her head and sent a steady stream of chakra into his hand and to his newest lover.
Priscilla tensed, wary of his intentions, but unable to feel any malice as he used this strange, foreign energy. Then their vision went white.
When his vision came back to him Naruto found himself in an unfamiliar place. A seemingly endless room made out of bricks. There were deep cracks on the walls, in the ceiling and on the floor. It honestly reminded him of the sewer that was his mindscape, minus the pipes and water. The blond looked down at himself and saw he was clothed; thank god for that.
He could hear whimpering in the corner and looked to see a purple-skinned, deformed and dishevelled woman in one of those white uniforms from the organization - armour and all. She even had the pale blonde, almost silver hair and a claymore in the slot of her backplate. This woman was curled up in a ball, crying her golden, glowing eyes out, muttering repeatedly that she was a monster.
He heard another person whimpering, and slowly turned to look in the direction it was coming from, his eyes being the last to leave the purple-skinned woman. In the opposite corner of the room, a little girl of about twelve or so. She was garbed in a simple, brown dress and curled up in the same manner as the other, crying about her mommy and daddy.
Moth women could be recognized as different versions of Priscilla.
Naruto sighed, wishing he had a Yamanaka handy to help him out. From what he could tell, Priscilla seemed to be having an identity crisis, much like Ophelia, though this one was far more severe and riddled with a heavier dose of self-loathing. Deciding to go towards the apparent 'yoma' half of this girl's mind, he felt that getting her out of the way would make his job easier.
The 'yoma' half froze when she felt a presence approaching and jumped when Naruto plopped down beside her.
The blond smiled warmly at her when she cautiously looked up at him. "So… what's your story, Priscilla?"
She didn't say anything, her damp, golden vertical slanted eyes just stared at him.
"You have nothing to be afraid of," he assured. "I'm here to help in whatever way I can. I hate seeing people suffer - especially women. So," he offered her his hand, and she stared at it as it had come from an alien being. "How about you sit up and talk about what's bothering you. I'll listen."
The yoma half of Priscilla whimpered uncomfortably but nodded. She took a calming breath, took his hand, and as she was steadily being pulled up into a sitting position, the woman said, "I… I lost control. She was the bad one, I was the good one; I was meant to win, like all the good people do, but I lost anyway…"
Naruto guessed the 'bad' one was Teresa. He slowly pulled the yoma half of Priscilla into a comforting hug and rubbed her back. "So, you got angry? That is a perfectly reasonable response to a situation that doesn't go the way you intended it to."
"But I got so angry, I wanted more power - more power to win! More power to make sure I could punish her for her crimes! But no matter how much I drew on, I couldn't win!" the deformed young woman tightly closed her eyes as tears ran down her cheeks. "I-I killed her when she had her guard down, and I awakened; then I killed Irene, Noel and Sophia… I… I... b-became a monster." She broke down, again, wailing as she hugged her knees to her chest.
Naruto sighed, giving her a pat on the back, as he waited for her to let it all out and calm back down. "Monsters don't regret it when they do something wrong," he pointed out. "I see a young woman who's scared, lonely… someone who needs to stop beating herself up and come to terms with herself - not a monster."
"But I'm a yoma! Look at me!? I'm ugly; even now, I'm having trouble keeping myself from eating your innards..."
"But, you are keeping yourself from eating them," he gently countered. "That is a sign of true strength right there. A monster would have tried to eat them the second I sat down beside her." He then wrapped his arms around her in a caring hug, causing her to go stiff as aboard. "Looks do not determine who is a monster; actions do." Punctuating his statement, he gave her a peck on the cheek, before adding, "you're just human; we all make mistakes - some great, some small, but mistakes nonetheless. Yours just… well… as bad as they are, they're not the worst I've seen. And trust me, I have both seen and have been through a lot of things that were a result of mistakes and really bad decisions."
His entire life just after his parents died protecting him could be considered a giant mistake, on Old Man Hokage's part. The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju giving away the Tailed Beasts to the newly established Hidden Villages can be considered a really bad decision since it only led to three world wars shortly after.
Priscilla felt her heart flutter as she looked at him with painfully hopeful eyes. It was heartbreaking to see that expression on her face; it was like - and is most likely is - she's pinning all her hopes on his next set of words.
"Y-you don't think I'm a monster?" she asked, to make sure she had not misheard him.
"Nope. All I see is a young, human woman who just needs to stop being so hard on herself." He said with a charming grin. Priscilla nearly fell in love with him right there - swooning at his words, his reassurance.
In the other corner, the younger Priscilla - her human half - let out a little giggle. It was so comforting for him to say that! Then, she started to fade away.
Just as she did that, the yoma version shuddered as she started to change. Gone were the golden locks and glowing eyes, replaced by her original brown, as her skin reverted back to the pale, but healthy peach. It would take a while before Priscilla fully recovered from what she'd been through and came to terms with herself, but this was one hell of a damn good start.
Then Naruto chuckled, "Now, I see a beautiful young woman." He was surprised when Priscilla cupped his face with both hands and mashed her lips upon his. Then, all went white.
Back in the real world, Naruto found himself needing to recover a bit from finding himself flat on his ass, as a very needy brunette lay atop and kissed him longingly. She rolled her hips, grinding her inner walls against his still-hard shaft, as she tried desperately to milk him for his seed once more. This time, however, her lust was replaced with a heated, passion. She didn't just want to fuck him, anymore; she wanted to mate with him!
She pulled away but kept close to his mouth, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she exclaimed, tears of joy streaming from her cheeks. The awakened brunette had no idea how much she needed that. She felt... normal - human, once more, for the first time since she killed that yoma who'd slaughtered her family.
Naruto cupped her cheek, smiling warmly. "You're welcome, and even if you are a 'monster' you're my monster. You're quite the beast in the sack, you know." he wagged his eyebrows suggestively at her.
Priscilla rolled her eyes at that. It was lame but charming. Then, she giggled. "C'mon, then, make me yours, once and for all!"
Naruto grinned and Priscilla gasped when he bent his knees and grabbed her ass. When he started slamming into her tight as hell cootch, the brunette threw her head back and squealed as his thick cock tried to reshape her cunt to fit him and only him. She rocked her hips with his, meeting him mid-thrust, as before and squeezed his shaft with all her might. She wanted him; she needed him so badly!
"God! Your pussy is so tight!" he groaned. "It's tighter than Riful's, and she's the size of a brat!"
Priscilla giggled as she leaned in to kiss him. "Glad to hear you're enjoying me~!" she said into his lips. "And you feel so big, too~!" she squealed in pleasure when he managed to brush against her G-spot, and seeing how she reacted Naruto struck it repeatedly.
The poor brunette didn't stand a chance as her partner's assault sent her over the edge, flying back into that delicious trance of pleasure she'd so craved. Priscilla threw her head back and wailed in euphoria, squeezing his dick as her juices gushed forth upon his lap.
Naruto to his credit managed to keep it all in… for about five seconds. Her tight cunt all but strangled it out of him; the blond roared as he slammed inside of Priscilla one last time and let loose yet another load, filling her womb with his seed. Priscilla yelped, the gush of white heat splashing into her loins made her cum once more as her body squeezed every last drop out of him. Not even a single sperm cell was allowed to trickle out as her hungry cunt practically sucked it all in as deep as it could.
The two of them took a moment to bask in the afterglow of their coupling. Naruto let out a groan when Priscilla slowly eased off his cock until it plopped out with a wet smack, then she rolled over and off of him, before lovingly lacing her fingers with his.
Her cheeks flared up and she averted her gaze as Naruto gently squeezed her hand. This… was going to take some getting used to.
----
Clare was pacing about frantically. Where was he?! Seeing as how Priscilla's aura had faded before his, Naruto clearly won, but he was still nowhere to be found and it had been nearly half an hour!
While they didn't show it, everyone else was worried about him. The auras of Naruto and Priscilla were felt and then they faded away just as fast. Despite the immense aura the two were generating Galatea was too far from the source to get a reading on her lover's emotions.
For all, she knew he could be dead, or dying, and they wouldn't know!
"Come on..." Clare murmured in distress, "a sign. A message. Flare your yoki to tell us you're alright! Just do something!"
"He's probably fine, Clare." Miria told the worried woman. She was worried for him as well ever since Clare had told them of Priscilla's origin. To think that she killed the previous Number 1, and then brutally killing off the rest of her team. But still... she had faith in her lover. "Naruto's strong. He's probably taking a rest or something."
"Or, he could be in a dying ditch somewhere…" she growled impatiently. Then, she felt a strong, notably-male hand pat her on the head from behind.
"I appreciate your concern," Naruto said, "but, I'm fine."
Clare turned on her heel to greet him, only to find herself staring at her man. Why was he naked, and who was... that… The former Number 47's eyes nearly popped out of her skull when she realized whom the naked brunette clinging onto Naruto's arm was, and never in her life had Clare wanted so badly to choke a bitch.
Priscilla frowned in confusion. Obviously, this woman was one of the two who wanted her head, judging by the sheer malice coming off her in waves. But for the life of her, she couldn't recognize the chick. Her scent was familiar… very much so. She also had that same yoki signature which haunted her nightmares, but her face was clearly not that of Teresa. It was so strange.
Still, Priscilla had a responsibility to atone for whatever she did, regardless.
With that in mind, she caught Clare by surprise and bowed down, saying, "I'm sorry!"
Clare blinked owlishly, visibly taken aback by the sheer sincerity she could hear. The former Number. 47 looked at her lover expectantly, wordlessly demanding an explanation as to what the flying fuck happened while he was gone.
The blond nervously rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, this is gonna take a bit to explain," he told her with a nervous chuckle.
It took everything she had to keep herself from lashing out at her lover. Instead, she settled for a heated glare. "Really?" Her tone lacked even a shred of amusement.
Yeah, playing peacekeeper wasn't going to be easy at all, was it?

Later that night, Naruto lay upon his bed, staring at the ceiling, as Jean ventured incautiously.
"Everything alright, honey?" the former Number 9 asked.
Naruto leaned up and looked at his wife with a tired look. "Clare's not talking to me. Neither is Ophelia." he dropped his head back down on his pillow and sighed. "I don't blame them for being so angry with me." he exhaled before leaning up to look at his wife again. "What do you think about them taking their anger out on me physically?"
Jean looked horrified at the suggestion. "As sweet as that may sound to you, I don't want you getting hurt. Just… let them vent… preferably without the risk of accidentally getting yourself killed. They'll calm back down eventually. Understandably, they'd be angry, but they love you just as much as I do. They'll forgive you, eventually."
"There's a saying: the more you love someone, the greater you hate them. In other words, if you love someone to the point of admiration, then you can hate them just as much."
Jean sighed dejectedly. That was a good point and she didn't want such a thing to happen. "I… suppose. Still, it's not like you had a choice in the matter. Hell, if someone that powerful came onto me like that, I'd just shut up and bend over out of sheer fright."
Yep; she found out that fucking Kurama, the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, was wary of Priscilla. And if a being of mass destruction was wary, then you should be too. Honestly, she didn't blame him - as she said, if a similar situation happened to her, she would just bend over and take it.
She'd call Naruto to her before that would ever happen of course, but still... To make matters worse, now that she thought about it, he didn't have his own 'Naruto' to come to the rescue, at the time, though it seemed that Priscilla might be filling such a role, now.
Naruto patted the space beside him and she went over there and laid down beside her man. Jean snuggled up to him and let out a sigh. "Did you ever have anyone to depend on, when you were younger?" she asked out of curiosity.
Naruto held her close. "I have a few: one was the leader of the city I was from - he took the reigns, again after my dad died to Kurama. He was quite old and couldn't be there for me all the time, he was swamped with paperwork and had to look out for the city. But, I saw him as the grandfather I never had. Old-Man Hurizen, he was called. Another was Iruka, he was one of the teachers who tried to teach me fairly when I was still learning. He became like an older brother. Then there was Pervy-Sage, Jiraiya - he… was like the father I never had…. And the perverted uncle no one wanted to know about."
Jean giggled and he let out a melancholy laugh. Then, his wife frowned and gave him a comforting hug as he sniffled and wiped the tears building up in his eyes away with the back of his arm. "There was Kakashi and Grandma-Tsunade as well, with the latter taking the reigns of Hokage when Old-Man Hurizen died. And last I heard Kakashi is now the Sixth Hokage…" he let out a shaking breath, "Pervy-Sage… Old-Man Hiruzen… Dad… what would they think if they saw me now? Would they be happy with my choice? Or would they be... disappointed…?"
"I think they would be proud of you," Jean said as she put her hand around his abdomen. "With the circumstances, I think they wouldn't be surprised you did whatever it was that you did before coming here."
Naruto smiled at her and rubbed her back lovingly.
Jean leaned over and kissed her husband on the cheek. "I'll see what I can do to calm Clare down in the morning if this is all still bothering her, okay?"
"Okay." He sighed. "That just leaves Ophelia."
"Last I heard, Priscilla's trying to reach out to her," Jean said. Upon seeing Naruto's odd look, she shrugged. "Your newest lover blames herself for all the trouble you're in. She's determined to keep them from staying angry at you."
"That's sweet of her." Naruto chortled; then he let out a loud yawn. Flattered as he was, it was getting late and today took a lot out of him. Hugging his lover to him one last time, Naruto closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Jean giggled, kissing him good night, before snuggling up to him and drifting off herself.
----
One day later
In the barracks/armoury, was Naruto. The blond grunted in discomfort as a bare fist slammed into his face; he staggered back, regained his footing and brought up his forearms to block the next jabs. Then he lashed out with a kick, and he heard himself let out a pain-filled scream.
The sound of his clone dispersing filled his ears, but he had no time to sort through the memories as he was beset by more and more of his clones. Seeing two clones leaping off the backs of two kneeling ones, the original dodged the first and grabbed the arm and leg of the second and tossed him into a group of clones behind him with all his might.
If they weren't dispelling from the force put into the toss, then they most certainly were after they crashed into the wall behind them. Another clone tried to body tackle him, but he just leapt up and used the clone's head as a springboard. He quickly formed a normal Rasengan in his right palm, reared back his arm before driving it into the abdomen of a clone. The spiralling sphere expanded outwards slightly before exploding, sending the clone flying back into the wall on the opposite end of the room.
The seals lit up and quickly repaired any damages made.
Then, the original preformed two roundhouse kicks, one after the other and dispelled two more clones before driving his fist into the scalp of a third and dispelling him after he was sent face down into the ground.
He quickly looked to his left, just in time to get a right hook to his left cheek. Naruto yelled out in pain as he was sent back into the wall on the opposite end of the room; however, the blond quickly flipped himself so he landed in a kneel on the wall.
This was the scene Clare found herself looking at when she walked in and bore witness to Naruto push himself off the wall and into the mass of clones with a loud battle cry. Though still irritated with him, she couldn't deny that it was somehow rather hot. She sighed and sat down, waiting for him to finish.
Naruto made a Rasengan in both his palms and made them expand slightly in size as he drove them home. Two clones were caught directly in the stomach and they were sent flying back, and into several more clones as they dispelled en-mass. He used the smoke from their dispelling as cover, and more and more clones were being dispelled, getting the smoke cloud to grow bigger and bigger and prolong its existence overall. The sound of the Rasengan being made, used and made repeatedly filled the room.
Clare winced sympathetically at some of the pained cries from the clones that managed to exist long enough to even do that. That technique must have been painful.
Finally, when the smoke cleared several minutes later, one dishevelled Naruto remained to pant with his back to her. Seeing that he was done, Clare stood back up and approached him slowly.
"I'm rusty. That should have taken me 10 minutes, not 20." she heard him say. "I'm gonna have to up my training in that case."
"Perhaps they're just getting better," Clare pointed out. Naruto turned to her, making the blonde feel a bit awkward as she waved and said, "uh… hi."
There was a long pause before Naruto replied. "Uh… hi, yourself." he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "So, uhm, how are you feeling?" the blond asked her with a saddened frown.
"Fine, I guess." she rubbed her arm a little awkwardly. Clare walked over to him as she asked, "You?"
"Fine," he replied, looking down at the ground. "I'm worried that you're still angry with me, but fine."
Clare frowned, before giving him a light swat upside the head. "Serves you right for going after Priscilla without telling me," she muttered. Then, she sighed. "But, I guess I'll get over it, eventually. I can't believe she doesn't even remember who I am, though."
"It's probably because you were a little girl back then. Different hair and eye colour, different age…" he pointed out to her. "A lot can change after so many years."
"I guess," Clare sighed.
"...Kiss and make-up?" he offered her. "She's a very different person, too."
Clare rolled her eyes. "I'm sure you'd enjoy watching that."
Naruto looked a bit sheepish but didn't deny it. "Either way," he said, after clearing his throat. "She is genuinely sorry. Priscilla may not remember you, but she knows you're one of the women who want her dead for something she did."
"I know…" Clare groaned childishly. "You have no idea how frustrating it is… I want so badly to be mad at her, but I can't! It's just… hard."
Naruto scooped her up into a warm, one-armed hug, causing the woman to blush. "I do know. I felt the same way, once or twice. When my first lover's cousin tried to kill her, I was livid. She wasn't my lover back then, but still… then, my mentor, Jiraiya, was killed by one of his former students. Then said student flattened my home. Both times, I wanted to kill the man responsible, but when I realized why they did it, I wanted to still be mad at them, but it was… difficult." he sighed and said, "You still have her, Clare. You still have Teresa, here." he pointed at her heart and her temple and Clare knew he meant it in the literal sense. Since he found Teresa in her mindscape a year ago and said the woman can contact her at any time she wants thanks to the blond hugging her. "Jiraiya… who was like the dad I never had, is still dead. Besides, it's the organization's fault, in the end. They sent Priscilla after Teresa before she was mentally ready; and because they created the yoma, they're indirectly responsible for the one who ate her family - resulting in her being picked up and turned into a hybrid in the first place."
Clare scowled at that. She knew he was right, but for so long, she had wanted to kill Priscilla. It was the only reason she'd even joined the Organization! Now, she had bigger fish to fry. "I know… It's just… I don't know. I… I need time to adjust."
Naruto rubbed her back caringly. "Take all the time you need, Clare. I won't rush you." then he slowly eased his wife on her knees as he moved down with her, and pulled her to him as he wrapped his arms around her abdomen. "Let's focus on something else."
She regarded him curiously. "Like what?"
"Want to train in your mindscape where your mum is? There won't be any groping - this is just to see how good you are at hand to hand. If nothing else, it could help you vent. She could help coach you, even." he suggested.
Clare blinked at that. It sounded like a good idea, actually. "Very well."
"Alright," Naruto sent a constant current of chakra through his hand and into her. Then both Naruto and Clare felt an odd pull on their minds. They allowed it to guide them and their vision went white.
