Chapter 12

Naruto was in the bathroom, letting the hot water of the shower head rain upon him. His thoughts were jumbled in a knot of memories. Memories of all the significant events that happened in his life earlier this evening. It was so…much. Anything and everything all at once.

Yet he felt…free…like sharing his memories to a few people he could trust lifted a giant boulder off his shoulders.

He sighed, using the soap to scrub in his arms. He usually took a quick cold shower in the morning as well, just to freshen up and jumpstart his day. But his nightly ones, they were the ones he looked forward to. Normally at the end of the day, he'd have trained hard enough for his muscles to ache, for his bones to feel like lead, and taking a bath was a small luxury to him–to make all that pain go away. He hoped that it would further ease his mind once he got in.

Then the bathroom door creaked open.

"Naruto?"

Naruto froze.

It was the voice of his mother.

'Wh–what is she doing here!?'

"Y-yes?" he responded.

"May I come in to wash your back?" Kushina asked.

"Wh–what?!" Naruto exclaimed.

Kushina laughed behind the door, before promptly opening.

Naruto's jaw dropped to the floor.

There his mother was…in nothing but a bathroom towel.

He took her all in.

Her crimson red hair that flowed to her backside, her flawless skin, a bit tanned from the sun now, her impossible figure that still showed through the shape of the towel covering it…Kami have mercy. She was a perfect combination of curvy and athletic; her tall Uzumaki frame made her seem slim, yet even it could not bear the magnificent flaring of her hips and the roundness of her ass, nor the reality-bending perkiness of her gorgeously large breasts.

His eyes processed all of this within a second and the thing between his legs twitched.

Kushina, on the other hand, was completely nonchalant about the whole situation.

"M–mom? What are you doing?" Naruto swallowed.

"Oh? Isn't it obvious?" Kushina said, approaching him whilst holding her towel up with her hand. "I thought we'd have some mother-son bonding time by bathing together!"

Naruto quickly grabbed a small bath towel he placed nearby to cover his privates.

"Y–you could've told me beforehand!" Naruto said, panicking.

Kushina only giggled as she made her way to sit behind him, fetching a bath stool near the laundry basket in the meantime. Naruto was sitting on one in front of a mirror as he showered, as was customary in their culture.

He tried to keep his eyes away, he really did, but he could not help but watch the way her hips swayed with every step, they way her covered tits bounced slightly in rhythm, the way the bath towel started sliding up the back of her long legs as she bent down for the stool, like the gates to heaven opening up right before his eyes. Just as he was about to see the forbidden treasure of her ass, she'd already grabbed the stool and leaned backwards again, returning to her upright position.

His dick twitched again before he realised what he was doing and immediately turned the other direction, trying to take deep breaths to calm himself. They were choppy and uneven.

He heard the clacking of the bench as it was placed behind him and he gulped, feeling his cheeks burn.

He felt like he was about to faint from the lightheadedness that overtook him.

"Relax," His mother said, her voice soothing, "It's normal for family members to wash each other's backs."

"R–right," Naruto responded.

And so, Kushina grabbed a small shower scrub, put some soup on it and went to work. She started gently before picking up the pace in places that needed scrubbing.

Naruto felt chills everytime the roughness of the spongy cloth came into contact with him, thinking of what else he'd prefer touching him instead.

"Wow…" Kushina commented, "your back is so muscular, it's like it's made of marble."

She promptly started examining it with her bare hands, putting the scrub down. Naruto shivered as she did so.

"M–Mom?!" Naruto yelped.

"Hm?" Kushina responded but seemed to be distracted with something else. She ran her hands over his wide shoulders, then down his triceps and forearms.

Naruto…really couldn't put a damper on something like this, so it wasn't in his control to stop the erection that came.

Kushina smiled behind his back, oblivious. "My, it's definitely the Uzumaki genes of your world working its magic. Your future girlfriend must be the happiest in the world!"

Then she took a glimpse over his shoulder at the mirror to see his reaction to her teasing.

Her eyes widened at what the sight reflected before her.

Her son was as red as a tomato, ear to ear crimson like her hair.

But what truly captured her attention was…the enormous size of 'little' Naruto poking out of the feeble bath towel like the top of a growing mountain.

"Good kami!" Kushina yelped and Naruto's own eyes widened as he realised that she was looking at him…or rather something else of his.

"Ah! I–I'm sorry!" Naruto frantically said. "Th–this is–"

Kushina only stared in awe. Even when she was a young girl back in Uzushiogakure before it was destroyed and had been frequently brought to mix gendered hot springs by her parents, her impeccable memory had never picked up any Uzumaki matching her son's prodigious size–and Uzumaki's were known to have…extra large appendages–largest of all in the entire elemental nations at the time.

Minato had also been big but he was no Uzumaki. And yet even her fabled clansmen paled in comparison to this…monster she saw in front of her.

"That'll break a girl…" Kushina muttered.

Naruto wanted to hide in a hole for the rest of his life. "I didn't mean to…get excited. I can't control it!"

Kushina blinked out of her daze as she took in her son's incredibly embarrassed state. Then, to Naruto's surprise, she laughed.

"M–mom?!" Naruto addressed.

"It's–it's perfectly–alright, son," Kushina got out between chuckles. It took a moment for it to die down. "It's only expected for an Uzumaki to have a very high life force. It's in our blood after all. That includes an unfathomably high sex drive, practically to the point where one goes mad."

"R–really?" Naruto asked, surprised.

Kushina blinked, realising that her son truly had no idea about this from seeing the way he grew up in his memories. "Oh my son, I saw through your memories that even though Jiraiya taught you about the birds and the bees, he hadn't known just how bad it gets for us Uzumaki's especially as we near full adulthood…"

Naruto looked at her curiously. "What do you mean?"

"Have you ever felt something strange awaken in you?" Kushina asked, "something hungry or something…lustful?"

Naruto froze, then blushed even harder. "A–ah, only recently. H–how did you know?"

Kushina only nodded. "As expected, while you may be an Uzumaki only in your world's terms, we still share the same traits. The Uzumaki's here undergo an extremely intense need for sexual gratification sometime before they are 18. Without control, it eventually makes them go mad with lust and turns their chakra rabid and uncontrollable. It's often a time of hardship but with preparation, it becomes manageable."

Naruto was nervous now. This was all completely new to him but he was glad that there was someone on his side to guide him through…whatever this was now. "Wait, you meant it literally when you said Uzumaki's go mad?! W–What do I do?"

Kushina squeezed his shoulder for comfort, sending goosebumps down his arms. "There is a seal that can be drawn just above your…groin that will control your libido. It will effectively make you go into complete abstinence from sexual release for a year."

Naruto almost choked on his spit. "What!?"

Kushina looked on sympathetically. "I understand your confusion but it isn't forever. Only a year. Without it, your chakra may change irreversibly to something too…wild to control. I know it's a bit sudden, and it's my fault that I failed to realise that you wouldn't have known about it beforehand, but with the seal, your chakra will be stabilised until it finally matures and can no longer change its nature…and after the seal is lifted, you'll be so sensitive to chakra that you'll gain the ability to sense chakra around you like I do…"

"Seriously!?" Naruto asked, baffled.

'That's where the Uzumaki sensory abilities came from?!'

Kushina nodded. "Yes, I went through the same thing. I will give you some time to process–"

"I'll do it!" Naruto interrupted.

Kushina stared at him, wide-eyed. "You've already come to terms with it?"

Naruto nodded resolutely. While it was rather…difficult, especially as a disciple of Jiraiya, to not…touch himself for a year, it was barely even noteworthy in difficulty as compared to the other things he'd done in life. "I trust you, and if you think it's necessary for me, then I have no reason to doubt it."

Kushina beamed at him, proud. "I can do it now, if you want. It's a relatively simple seal, and since you're already naked, it'll be easier to administer the procedure without too much hassle."

Naruto blushed at that, covering his crotch to Kushina's amusement but he nodded.

It didn't take long for her to be back with an ink bottle and a brush.

Naruto just stayed on the bath stool, awaiting her.

When she approached him once more, he tried not to let his eyes wander again where it shouldn't.

He failed…good thing Kushina didn't really seem to notice…or did she simply choose not to?

The thing was though, she didn't come to sit down behind him as she did before. She picked up her stool and placed it to his right, before sitting there instead, giving a better view of her.

"Turn towards me, son, so I can put it on," she said.

Naruto did so reluctantly…his erection standing at full mast.

Kushina started to dip the brush inside the ink bottle, then she paused, looking at the twitching appendage. Then she chuckled. "Do you want to relieve yourself for the final time in a year first, son?"

Naruto's face was on fire. "L–like, right now?"

Kushina placed the brush and bottle aside. "I can wash your front in the meantime. I've seen practically everything the world has to offer at this point, so you shouldn't be embarrassed."

Naruto really really thought that wouldn't make this any easier for him, but his mother just started using the bath cloth to wash his chest, unconcerned.

So…so Naruto would have to just get on with it.

He started touching himself, going slowly before picking up the pace. He tried not to think about it, about the finest specimen of humanity in the entire world that was in front of him as she was scrubbing him down, so close in proximity to him.

Then, Kushina abandoned the cloth she used to wipe him, thinking it too rough and used her delicate hands instead.

'Good Kami! Why is she being so calm about this! Her hands feel so…wonderful.'

Then those magic hands worked their way down to his torso, making sure to clean his ticklish sides, before journeying down to his thighs. On the way, her thumbs had slightly touched the sides of his rod, and he almost came from the sensation.

It was at that point, Naruto had noticed something…the bath towel that Kushina was wearing was becoming undone.

As Kushina was moving and bending her arms to wash him, the towel had become slightly looser and looser…and looser.

Naruto's pace in his pumping had picked up in anticipation.

Then, a miracle happened.

The towel slipped off.

Slipped off to reveal…a strapless one-piece bathing suit?

"Oh my!" Kushina yelped, surprised. "Ah, It's a good thing I'd put this on so that I can get into the bath with you. Otherwise, you'd have seen this old lady in her birthday suit!"

"You're…not old…you're…so ridiculously…beautiful…" Naruto didn't say anything else in response and as he watched his mother glow in embarrassment. The movement of her converted tits as she moved, the wonderful shape of her hips, her exposed plump thighs that were all visible because of the skin tight material…

He came.

Hard.

Harder than anytime in his entire life.

Kushina was barely able to flinch before ropes upon ropes…upon ropes of cum landed upon her face, hair and breasts. It was like a gushing stream that seemed to never end. It went on for a literal minute and she could only sit there and watch, stunned.

When it was over, Naruto let out a satisfied breath before realising what he'd just done.

He looked mortified.

"Oh Kami! I'm so sorry!" He screeched.

Kushina was just slack jawed…but an oddly curious thought invaded her mind.

She licked her lips and processed the…substance that had landed within her open mouth when she had gaped at him during his climax.

It tasted…good?

That was new. The taste of a man's seed like Minato's had only ever been…tolerable to her.

Naruto's semen tasted like how he smelled, of honey and apples…and it was astonishingly delicious.

…without thinking, she swallowed and then she used her hand to scoop up some of the seed that lingered above her breasts before putting it in her mouth, sucking her digits like a popsicle. She let the goopy liquid linger on her tongue before drinking it like the finest nectar in the world, savouring it and letting it fill her…in more ways than one.

She moaned involuntarily as an unexpected energy coursed through her, warm and inviting, like a campfire in the coldest night of winter.

'…he's an Uzumaki alright…but I never knew we had magic cum…must be Naruto-exclusive…'

Her son proceeded to go supernova as blood rushed to his face. "Wh–what are you doing?!"

That snapped Kushina out of her daze. "Oh! Ah! Hah, sorry, son. I was a bit curious and wanted to check if you…were healthy. I'm glad that your Uzumaki vitality is working just fine!"

Naruto gulped as he observed her. Her crimson red hair, her porcelain face, the gorgeous assets that were covered by skin tight material…and how each of those parts were painted by his semen.

It was like he'd defiled a goddess. A perfect visage tainted by his seed.

He was practically rearing to go again…

…but he held himself back.

"I'm ready for the seal now, mom," he told her before it was too late.

Kushina nodded and worked quickly…but she for some reason hadn't seen fit to remove his seed from her being. It was like she wore it with pride.

'Oh Kami no!'

Kushina finished the seal just as he was back to full mass…which was about 15 seconds.

She'd worked fast, as Naruto observed the intricate seal that rested where he'd shaved down there–something he'd made a habit of.

'Oh he so badly wanted to–'

"Fuin," Kushina stated.

And all of a sudden, it felt like all his lust, his libido, his hotbloodedness were funnelled into the seal, taking all the want and carnal need that plagued him with it. Still, his full mast refused to die down seeing just how close it was to his mother's gorgeous face.

"Ah, perhaps for you, there needs to be another extra layer," Kushina said as she added yet another seal on top of the one that was already on him. "No one can say that my son isn't a chakra monster, that's for sure."

As she finished the second layer, his cock was still half mast…which was still far more than plenty to work with for a normal non-Uzumaki person.

Then yet another layer of seals was added.

This time, his little self had gone back to its normal flaccid state, like the limp trunk of an elephant. He could still feel it but it was like it refused to get hard over sexual needs.

"My, my," Kushina commented, giggling, "To need three entire layers where one was already far more than enough to subdue even my father's lustful self, you sure have incredible vitality, son."

"S–sorry," Naruto apologised.

Kushina shook her head. "There's nothing to feel sorry for. I know what it's like to be young and zestful. Don't be ashamed. This is perfectly normal for an Uzumaki of your age."

Naruto only nodded, but his attention went back to his mother. "Do…do you want me to clean you? I can return the favour."

Kushina beamed at him. "I'd be grateful for it."

And so, Naruto did to her what she did to him, washing each part uncovered by the bathing suit, taking time and care to clean every single part of her, mesmerised by just how…beautiful she was.

His lust flared up again then immediately drained into the seal. It was an odd sensation that gave him gooseflesh.

Kushina, meanwhile, was as cool as a cucumber throughout all of this.

'This is certainly going to take some getting used to.'

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

After their bath, both Uzumaki's laid on their beds…or rather the very same bed they'd shared the day before. Naruto had felt…relaxed after the bath, but he was still unused to the sudden flaring and dampening of his lust by the seal. Yet, it also gave him comfort, like something was blanketing him from going off the rails.

Kushina sighed into his chest as she, too, felt all the tension of the day leave her. "You know son…"

"Hm?" Naruto responded. "Yes, mother?"

Kushina giggled at the title. "You know, after thinking about it, I feel that we were…quick to label ourselves as mother and son."

Naruto tensed. "What do–"

"--let me finish," Kushina cut him off. "I just feel that it's…disrespectful to your real mother and my real son who'd passed away to replace each of them with…alternate versions of their beings. Your true mother, from your memories, had given her life to save yours, and my son was gone from this world before I was even able to hold him in my arms. Moreover, since the DNA testing showed that we're unrelated, I just feel that it's more proper to take on a new role for each other."

Naruto's concerns had dimmed somewhat after hearing her explanation. She was right and he understood that his mother was not her specifically, even genetics wise. "So…what do you want us to be?"

Kushina smiled at him. "The same as we have been…but I will be your adoptive mother instead. Your…stepmother of sorts. Will that be alright with you? This way, we'll still be mother and son while still honouring the memories of our counterparts, so we won't replace them but instead, be different individuals entirely. Individuals who seek an unbreakable relationship with one another."

Naruto's smile could've lit up the entire night sky. "That would be perfect. I'll still be able to call you mom, then?"

Kushina nodded, returning his smile with her own. "Of course, and I'll still call you son, if you don't mind."

"I don't," Naruto affirmed, and to her surprise, he hugged her. "I love you, mom."

Kushina's heart felt like it'd melt in her chest. "I love you too, son."

They stayed like that for a few minutes, before a reminder had popped up in Kushina's head. "By the way…"

"Yes?" Naruto said.

"During this year, there will be much for me to teach you. From Uzumaki clan secrets…"

Naruto nodded.

"...to fuinjutsu…"

Naruto nodded again.

"...and the intricacies of the fairer sex."

Naruto nodd–

"Wait, what?" He asked dumbly.

Kushina giggled after seeing his face. "From your memories, Jiraiya had done less than adequately in teaching you how to woo a woman, other than how to treat one in bed. You're going to be quite the hot commodity, son, and if I don't teach you the ways of the woman, then you'll be led around by the nose by any who so much as bats their eyelashes at you."

"I'm not that bad…" Naruto muttered.

Kushina raised a delicate eyebrow.

"...fine."

Kushina smiled in satisfaction. "This would of course include common courtesy, being a gentleman, confidence building, flirting, teasing, how to recognise a lady's tricks and tells, and of course, knowledge of safe sex…along with other Uzumaki-specialities."

Naruto gulped. "That sounds…complicated."

Kushina only smiled wider. "It is, and by the time your year of abstinence is over, you'll have all the skills necessary to gain real world experience in practising the techniques you've learnt. Though it's important that the technique becomes a part of you and is just something to enhance your natural self rather than act as a temporary tool to get into a lady's pants. That would be just disingenuous."

Naruto could only nod, feeling his ears heat up again.

Kushina chuckled and embraced him harder. "Oh you'll do just fine, son. In fact, I think you'll be considered prodigious in this regard…"
