Cap 80: Take responsibility...

The great Toad and the young Fox were sitting and looking at each other as the tension increased with every second.

"This is new... who would say our new summoner would be the Kyubi no Kitsune?" - said Gamabunta as he burst out laughing - "Interesting... very interesting..."

"I see you haven't changed, Gamabunta" - smiled the young redhead.

"Ho~?do you remember me?" - asked the Chief of the Toads.

"Just little bits," replied Kurama as he shrugged.

"Hmm... at least you stopped being that cranky guy," snorted the big toad.

"I don't think you have the right to tell me that," Kurama only rolled his eyes at the Toad. "'Anyway, I don't think you asked me to sit down to reminisce"

"No... this is about Ojiji-sama's Prophecy" - said Gamabunta seriously.

"The Great Sage has spoken again?!" - exclaimed Jiraiya in surprise - "Not that the prophecy was already written in stone?!"

"It was until something happened twelve years ago..." - said Gamabunta seriously.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?!" - shouted Jiraiya angrily - "You know very well that I am involved in all this!"

"I'm sorry Jiraiya... it was Ojiji-sama's orders" - said Gamabunta as he let out a puff of smoke - "Of the many futures he saw, the one you didn't get involved in was the most favorable..."

"What do you mean?!" - exclaimed Jiraiya angrily.

"If you had intervened, everything would have gone to hell," responded Gamabunta seriously. "I won't go into detail because I don't see the point in going into it any further... I will only say that in that future, the Kyubi no Yoko would have gone crazy because of a certain Hawk"

". . ." - Jiraiya couldn't believe what he was hearing but he quickly calmed down, after all, Gamabunta had no reason to lie to him.

"When the time is right, we will fulfill our part of the prophecy and help you," said Gamabunta seriously as he looked at the redhead. " I think that would be it, let's go Kichi"

"And I wanted to have some more fun... there aren't many chances for me to get out of Mount Myoboku" - sighed young Toad.

"Ok... you can stay... just don't do stupid things and come back by dinner time... your mother won't leave me alone if you don't..." - sighed Gamabunta as he looked at his son.

"Loud and clear, Dad!" - Gamakichi exclaimed with emotion as he watched his father disappear into a smokescreen - "Do you think you can give me a tour of the city?"

"Sure," the Uzumaki nodded as he motioned for Gamakichi to jump over his shoulder.

The two young men quickly walked away from the scene, leaving Jiraiya all alone.

"Wait for a second! Don't leave me alone!" - the Sannin roared as he ran after the two boys.

* * * * *

"I have to admit that smell is delicious..." - said Gamakichi as he looked at an adult Aburame. This one was shaking, or rather the insects inside him.

"I don't think it's a good idea to keep scaring that Aburame," said Kurama as he shook his head.

"Okay... you' re no fun..." - Gamakichi muttered as he jumped back onto the shoulder of the young Uzumaki - "So...what do we do now?"

"How about playing a joke on Ero Sennin?" - Kurama asked as a joking smile appeared on his face. Jiraiya had put them aside when he saw a beautiful young lady walking towards the Hot Springs.

"We are speaking the same language now" - smiled Gamakichi as the two walked in the direction of Jiraiya. It only remains to say that after a few minutes, the agonizing screams of poor Sannin echoed throughout Konoha.

* * * * * *

Kurama was coming home after saying goodbye to Gamakichi. The young toad had had a wonderful time, especially when he saw Jiraiya being tortured by countless women.

"I think I'll start using some other method of punishment..." - said Kurama with a scowl as he disappeared and reappeared behind two girls he knew very well.

"He's getting good at this," said Hanabi as a great deal of sweat ran down her forehead.

"H-Hello, Kurama-kun..." - said Hinata with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Well? What's the excuse this time?" - asked the redhead as he raised an eyebrow.

"Emm... Happy birthday?" - asked Hanabi with a forced smile.

" Is it your birthday?" - asked Hinata with stars in her eyes.

"You know very well that I have a birthday on October 10th, Hinata-chan," said Kurama with a scowl - "Now... Which punishment do you prefer? Psychological with an illusion of Lee dancing La Macarena or psychological with an illusion of Lee dancing Brazilian carnival music?"

"I don't know what is Macarena or Brazilian carnival dance but I'm sure it will be something terrible" - said Hanabi as she backed off in fear.

"Can it be physical damage?" - asked Hinata with an even more pronounced blush.

"Of course... not..." - said Kurama as he released some of his Chakra, only to have the girls scream in terror after a few seconds.

* * * * *

"That was cruel... Kurama-san..." - said Hanabi as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Be thankful I didn't do what I had originally intended," said Kurama as he snorted in annoyance. What he did was force them to endure 30 minutes of constant tickling.

"Onee-chan can't get up..." - said Hanabi seriously as she watched her big sister spasm on the floor for so long that she laughed.

"It is not my fault that you do not learn your lesson," said Kurama with a scowl.

"Ugh... I don't think I can get married after this..." - Hinata murmured as she stood up with tears in her eyes - "You have to take responsibility, Kurama-kun..."

"I just tickled you," replied the redhead.

"You saw me in a situation no one had ever seen me before... it was my first time..." - said Hinata with a slight blush.

"Don't say things that can be misunderstood, Baka!" - exclaimed Kurama as his eyebrow shivered slightly and gave him a little smack.

"Itai~!" - exclaimed Hinata as a small tear ran down her cheek - "It was physical punishment in the end..."

". . ." - Kurama only gave the older Hyuga a blank stare as Hanabi shook her head. Honestly, they were both masochists but Hinata seemed to be trying to prove her dominance in this area.

"Anyway..." - the redheaded man muttered as Hinata blushed at how Kurama had chosen to ignore her. Kurama noticed this and could only take one look at the younger sister - "Is she all right?"

"Even I am not sure..." - Hanabi muttered as she shook her head.

Kurama and Hanabi could only give Hinata a worried look while they thought it would be a good idea to take her to a psychologist.

"Anyway... what were they following me for this time?" - Kurama asked as he looked at the little Hanabi-chan.

"Onee-chan wanted to invite you to a little celebration that we will do tomorrow at 4 pm" - said Hanabi calmly - "But as you see, things ended up like this"

"Okay, I'll go" - nodded the young redhead.

" Let's go Onee-chan!" - shouted Hanabi as she took the hand of her sister, who was still red-faced with shame.

"I still think it would be a good idea if we took her to a psychologist..." - said Kurama as he shook his head.

"Believe me... I think so too..." - said Hanabi as she grabbed her sister and with great 'delicacy', dragged her out of the place.

"This is getting weirder and weirder..." - Kurama denied as he continued walking towards his house - "I forgot to ask them where it would be... I guess I will have to do it tomorrow when I go to pick them up at their house..."

* * * * *

Kurama arrived at the overcrowded Uzumaki residence, only to hear the women laugh. He could only raise an eyebrow as he opened the door and walked into the living room, only to be completely silent as he saw how they were practically in their underwear - ". . ."

". . ." - Karin and Kin were frozen when they noticed the boy's presence.

"Ok... couldn't there be a more cliché scene than this?" - asked Kurama as he sighed - "I won't fall for a repetitive situation like this..."

And without further ado, he left the room.

When they didn't see him anymore, Karin and Kin just shouted with shame while Kushina, Anko and Mikoto, were surprised by all this.

"I expected some different reaction," said Kushina as she looked at her two 'sisters'.

"Believe me... I was hoping that he would blush and that it would all end with the sound of a slap from Karin..." - said Anko.

"I think you forgot that he's not a virgin boy..." - snorted Mikoto - "Not to mention that inside him, even when they're asleep, there are memories of a monster over a thousand years old... I'm sure this is a normal reaction"

"Come back here, you pervert!" - shouted Karin as she hurriedly dressed and ran after the redhead, only to have her cries for help heard after a few seconds.

When the girls walked in that direction, they saw how the girl was tied with a Turtle-type Bondage knot.

"Okay... I didn't know Foxy-kun had this talent..." - Anko said as she whistled.

"I think he learned it from Kurenai-chan's book," answered Kushina as she thought about the possibilities.

"What book?" - asked Anko as she raised an eyebrow.

"I don't remember the name, but it said something about Bondage," answered the matriarch Uzumaki again.

"Shouldn't we help her?" - asked Mikoto as his two sisters continued their conversation.

What do you prefer - double updates on Mondays or one update on Monday and another on Saturday?

A public vote in Pa treon on this topic, that's where I do this kind of thing.

Referring to whether I'm going to translate my other story, I'd have to think about it a bit more... maybe 3 caps a week and the rest will be used as a benefit for the last tier because I feel I haven't given it much benefit.
