Naruto Uzumaki: Heir of the Mage

Written By: Rave Rose of Twilight

Warning: I don't own Naruto or Pokegirls. As further warning, Pokegirls, while likely inspired by, are not Pokemon. Do not ask me about Pokemon in the reviews. It gets very annoying to read reviews where people confuse Pokegirls with their Pokemon counterparts. This story runs alongside my Master Shinobi, Tamer Extraordinaire story, but in an alternate dimension. I will, much later into the story, bring the two worlds together by either swapping them with some kind of portal or spell and bring them together at least once in each dimension. Also, regarding cup sizes of the Pokegirls, I will use the US scale rather than the Japanese scale since there can be quite a bit of confusion between them. I used Nami's (One Piece) BWH measurements and applied them to Erza seeing as nobody has a definitive BWH measurement for her that I've seen.

Chapter One: When Something Is Taken, Something Else Will Be Given

It was October 10th and the village of Konoha, located on a hidden continent from the rest of the world, was currently facing a terror unlike what they could possibly comprehend. What was meant to be a happy occasion had turned into pure horror. Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze had become pregnant again, but this time was expecting twin girls. Three years ago on this same date, she had successfully given birth to a baby boy that had, for all intents and purposes, looked like a clone of his father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. They had named him Naruto Uzumaki, choosing to give him the Uzumaki family name since they figured his personality would likely be more akin to his mother than Minato.

However, a masked man had come and extracted Kyubi, a powerful Pokegirl that was said to have belonged to the Sage of Six Paths, from Kushina and let it loose on Konoha.

But Minato, after securing his daughters and wife, had other plans. Summoning the boss of the Toad Summons, Gamabunta, he asked her to stall Kyubi long enough for him to think of something.

As he stood atop the giant Pokegirl's crown, he knew he had only one option available. So, using a bit of Magic he had gathered in a scroll, he summoned Zalera, the Esper of Death.

Zalera's body appeared very demonic in appearance, with horns, thick feet bearing talons that looked ready to tear apart anyone in her path, and one clawed arm. Her face was horned and skeletal with long white hair adorning her head, and her body was slender with B-Cup breasts. She had one normal demonic wing and another, larger wing attached to her other, longer arm, which she had wrapped around herself like a cloak. Instead of a claw, her wing arm ended in an armless upper torso of a black-haired, pale-skinned woman with B-Cup breasts and chitinous scales covering her nipples and eyes.

She looked over to her summoner with no visible emotion. She could already tell that he had killed hundreds, if not more, in blood-stained hands.

"What do you want," she asked.

Minato swallowed the lump in his throat. This was the first time he had ever summoned anyone other than Gamabunta and the mere presence Zalera exuded made it difficult to breathe. "A madman has unleashed one of the Sage's Pokegirls upon my home," he said in desperation. "I need you to seal it away within my daughters."

Zalera glanced over to Kyubi, who was busy fighting Gamabunta to pay any attention to her. The soul of the giant Pokegirl was indeed powerful, but it was too much to split between the two newborns. "Very well," she said. "But when I do, I will claim your soul as payment."

Minato swallowed again, nodding. "I understand," he replied.

Zalera stretched out her arm and took hold of Kyubi by her throat before raising her up so that their eyes could meet. With a quick yank, the beast had been split in three parts. One crimson orb. One orange orb. And one blue orb. The crimson orb and the blue orb, containing the most power, were placed within the two girls since they were young enough that their bodies would be able to adapt to the power of Kyubi. The orange orb, being the weakest and containing the mostly intact soul of Kyubi, had to be placed in someone else.

That was when she felt a similar soul as the one who had summoned her. He had spiky blond hair and glowing blue eyes that radiated innocence. She thrust the soul within his sleeping body. She wished she could have devoured the soul of the powerful Pokegirl, but, to some extent, she had to comply with the wishes of her summoner. She was sure she would be summoned again one day with the chance to devour another powerful soul. She could wait.

She bore a satisfied smile on her lips before looking at Minato expectantly. "Now it is time for you to fulfill your end of the bargain," she said hungrily, licking her lips in preparation.

Minato looked to his two daughters and felt something shift inside of him. Little did he know that this moment would change the face of the world, though whether it was a good thing or not would likely be seen decades from now. "I'm sorry, but I cannot leave my children without parents," he explained sorrowfully as he prepared to unsummon her from the land of mortals.

"You think you can just back out of our agreement," she barked angrily at the cowering human. Just as she was about to end his life, she remembered something. She saw the boy who bore the exact likeness of the man who summoned her. He had Kyubi's soul within him, though his soul was already quite powerful for a child in his infancy. His life force was stronger than any she had encountered before in her lifetime and remarkable potential for any profession he would take in the future. "Very well," she said smoothly, making Minato sigh in relief. "However, I shall take something even more precious from you in exchange." Her hand reached out and took hold of the sleeping infant, who had promptly been awakened and began to cry wildly.

"Naruto," Minato shouted, eyes wide as he watched her plunge her hand deep within his tiny body and pull out a yellow orb and swallowing it.

A satisfied sigh escaped her lips, which turned sadistic as she released the baby, forcing Minato to catch him. "If you ever try to summon me again, I will end not only your life, but the lives of everyone and anyone associated with you within 500 miles of where you summoned me."

With those last words, Zalera had somehow vanished from sight.

After a few days, getting everything repaired and returned to normal, Tsunade Senju had been called to the Namikaze residence to check up on the three children. The girls had been given a clean bill of health, but Naruto was a different story entirely.

"What's wrong with my baby boy," Kushina sobbed, tears falling from her violet eyes.

Tsunade pulled out a clipboard. "To start with, Naruto is now missing a large amount of chakra from his body," she said. "Normally, he could regenerate this amount until he was full again, but that's where the news gets even worse. His chakra coils have been completely torn to shreds. Quite frankly, I'm amazed that he is even alive considering the extent of the daMage and just how little chakra he has available in his body. It is entirely likely that he will never be able to become a ninja. If he does somehow make it, it will be a career of mediocrity. He will never make it beyond Genin or Chunin if he makes it that far."

Minato held Kushina in his arms as she wept wildly into his shoulder. He thought that Kushina would have died after the extraction, but she had somehow been able to recover thanks to her remarkable Uzumaki Longevity. If he had known she would have survived, he would have sacrificed himself to Zalera. But now, because of his decision, Naruto had been robbed of his chance to become a ninja and following in his parent's footsteps like his sisters would.

"I would suggest bringing him in for another checkup when he begins to hit puberty," the medic added. "We'll do a blood test to see if he can even become a good Tamer. If not, you may want to consider enrolling him in a civilian school."

Minato nodded as Kushina cried even harder. It would be a difficult decision to make. For now, however, they would keep this secret between them until Naruto was old enough to handle the news.

Several Years Later...

The Uzumaki-Namikaze family had been doing fairly well. Mito and Naruko, his younger twin siblings, were four years old. Mito took after their mother's looks, but shared her father's keen mind. Naruko had short golden hair with natural red highlights giving it a fiery appearance and blue eyes. She had a blend of her mother's attitude and her father's wild looks.

Naruto had turned seven years old, but his personality had developed strangely. He was oddly subdued. His attitude was similar to that of the Hyuuga clan, though he did show some emotions from time to time. He was quiet...almost to the point that you would forget he was there if he did not bring it to your attention, though this was through no fault of his own. Growing up with Mito and Naruko, he had a rough time getting his parents to notice him. He tried to wear loud, obnoxious clothes and be rather loud and obnoxious himself, but his parents were quickly dragged away to attend to the twins or other matters involving the village. Because of this, Naruto had just sort of...faded into the background.

He sat in his room quietly, reading a book he had gotten from the library. Ever since he had turned seven, he had wanted to become a ninja. He tried to get his parents to help him train, but whenever they did, they would always make up some excuse or another and tell him to read a book or something. So he went into his father's library and began to read a few books about Pokegirls or training manuals meant for ninja or those trying to become ninjas.

Ever since then, he had been consumed with the books he had begun to read to the point that others almost began to expect it from him. However, for him, it was an unfortunate and constant reminder. Today was supposed to be the shared birthday of all three Uzumaki-Namikaze children. His seventh and the girls' fourth. Downstairs, many influential people were gathered to celebrate the occasion. Friends of the family and the like had all been invited. But the party wasn't for him. It was almost completely for the twins. It seemed like in their rush to get decorations set up, invitations sent out to their respective recipients, and taking care of the crying twins, he had been all but forgotten by his own family.

This wasn't the first time it had happened. On the night of the Kyubi Festival, his mother and father had forgotten him in the mansion while they took Mito and Naruko to celebrate. It wasn't until they came home rather late and somewhat drunk did they finally notice an upset Naruto standing behind the gate that they realized their mistake and quickly apologized.

This happened more often than they would care to remember. Naruto was somewhat quiet and it was easy to forget he was even there, but it was no excuse. However, to try and make up for their neglect, they hired a Bunnygirl by the name of Erza to babysit him and to do the odd chore around the house. One day, the week prior, when Naruto had been accidentally left at home, he had gone to make himself a sandwich when he ran into the Bunnygirl trying to do the laundry.

I say trying because there were soap bubbles everywhere and she looked quite distressed.

Flashback...

"Are you alright," he asked quietly.

She fell to her knees and began to sob uncontrollably. "Lady Kushina and Lord Minato will dock my pay if they find out I ruined the laundry again," she cried.

Naruto looked on at the disaster before sighing. "Let me help you clean this up, Erza-chan," he said with a faint smile. The Bunnygirl spun around and was shocked to see Naruto standing behind her.

"I can't do that, Naruto-sama," she said, waving her arms around wildly. "What would Lord and Lady Namikaze think if they found out I allowed their son to correct my mistake?"

"I doubt they would think much of it," Naruto spoke, trying to hide the venom in his tone. "Besides, I want to help you and as long as you don't tell them, they won't find out. This of it like...our little secret, ya know?"

Erza blushed and nodded, allowing the young master of the house to help her out with her problem. It was discovered that she had simply used too much soap. When he asked how much she used, she embarrassingly told him that the box had fallen into the washing machine when she had turned her back for a moment to answer a phone call from Minato, who was asking her if she could get around to cleaning the girls' rooms once she finished the laundry.

Once the mess was cleaned up, Erza had realized all too late that her uniform was soaking wet and soapy. She couldn't show herself to the Namikaze family in wet, soapy clothes! So she began to cry again.

"Take off your uniform," Naruto said calmly. "If we wash it, they won't know anything happened, right?"

Erza sniffled and nodded, agreeing with Naruto's point before stripping herself of every last bit of her clothes, granting the soon-to-be seven year old boy a perfect view of her body. She was 5 foot 6 and a half inches tall and had bigger breasts than Kushina. She had long brown hair tied into a bun and her nether regions were free of any hair. Her entire body was toned, likely because of the exercise she got by doing all of the work around the house. She was amazingly beautiful in his opinion.

When they got her uniform in the washing machine after putting everything that was in the super soapy load in the dryer, Naruto took her by the hand and brought her to the bathroom.

Erza had a light blush on her cheeks as she was brought into the bathroom. "Why are we going to the bathroom, Naruto-sama," she asked.

"We're going to take a bath," he said simply.

Erza's face became a brilliant scarlet. "I...I can't do that, Naruto-sama," she stuttered. "The scandal!"

"You need to get the soap residue off of you before it becomes noticeable," he mentioned. "I was planning on taking a bath after lunch anyways, so I might as well get it out of the way now."

While Naruto drew the bath water, Erza had zipped out, grabbed Naruto a set of clean change of clothes and returned just as quickly, locking the door behind them. Mito had a bad habit of barging into the restroom whenever he took a bath and it annoyed him to no end. As if there weren't plenty of bathrooms in the house to use, she somehow always found the one he was using.

Naruto began to strip out of his dirty clothes without bothering to cover himself. Erza had unknowingly begun to ogle him and her face became even more crimson than it had when he first suggested they bathe together. Naruto gathered a pair of towels and washrags for them and shut the water off when he was satisfied with how warm it was. Steam partially filled the bathroom, but did not do much to obscure their vision. Naruto stepped into the warm water and sat down, sighing in relief as the warm water worked its wonders on his body. He looked at Erza's nude form and motioned for her to join him, which she did hesitantly. She entered the water behind him, allowing the boy to rest his head on her bountiful breasts. He took a deep breath and relaxed against the comfortable 'pillows' that wrapped around his shoulders.

As the hot water began to ease the tension in their bodies, Erza grabbed a rag and began to lather it up with soap. "Do you want me to wash your back, Naruto-sama," she asked. She felt him nod through her breasts before leaning forward, exposing his back to her. She began to scrub his back free of any grime and filth. She had somehow gotten soap on her breasts and began to press them against him as she reached over to scrub his chest. When she was done and rinsed him off, she turned around and he began to do the same for her. He scrubbed her back and even began to scrub her voluptuous breasts, causing her to try and suppress the sounds that wanted to come out.

While not terribly sensitive, her breasts were just sensitive enough that by Naruto's gentle ministrations with the soapy cloth, she was becoming incredibly hot and bothered. Once this event was over, she planned on going to the Pokecenter to get her Taming Cycle. Once they were both rinsed and dried off and Naruto fully dressed, they got out of the tub, drained the water, and went to the laundry room where they had pulled the clothes from the dryer.

Naruto had began to fold the clothes, being careful to separate the clothes that belonged to each member of the family from the others. It would not do for Kushina to get Naruko's panties and the girls' their mother's rather risque panties. Once that was done, her uniform had finished drying. She quickly put on the uniform and made sure that nothing was out of place.

"Thank you for helping me, Naruto-sama," she said, tears of joy in her eyes. "I don't know what I would have done without you."

Naruto smiled at her, causing her to blush. This was the first time she had seen Naruto genuinely smile since she began working for the Uzumaki-Namikaze family. "It wasn't that big of an obstacle," he said modestly. "And I really had fun spending time with you, Erza-chan."

"You are far too kind, Naruto-sama," she said.

"Please stop that, Erza-chan," he said politely. "Call me Naruto or Naruto-kun. We are friend's after all."

"Thank you, Naruto-kun," she said, her blush returning full force with the familiarity she was showing him. "And happy birthday."

Naruto looked slightly gobsmacked that Erza had remembered that it was just as much his birthday as it was Mito and Naruko's. He wrapped his tiny arms around the Bunnygirl's wide hips, his face unintentionally burying itself in her bosom. "Thank you for remembering, Erza-chan," he said, tears barely being held back by sheer willpower alone.

His parent's practically forgot he existed sometimes. The only person who seemed like they noticed him was Mito and, though they were closer than he seemed to be with the rest of the family, they weren't as close as they could be...or should be. When she and Naruko were called by their parents, only Mito would spare him an apologetic glance before rushing off with her sister.

End Flashback...

As the years went on, the rest of the Uzumaki-Namikaze family began to notice that Erza was slowly becoming more akin to Naruto's personal servant than the maid to the Uzumaki-Namikaze family as a whole. However, while this did somewhat upset Minato and Kushina, they allowed her to stay because she was one of the few people he interacted with who could get him to smile. So they hired another Pokegirl to act as the family's caretaker while Minato was at work being the Hokage and Kushina had gone back to doing missions as a Kunoichi. However, between missions and their duties, Minato and Kushina had begun to train Mito and Naruko in how to access their chakra.

When Naruto asked if he could join them, they made up some excuse like they suddenly had a mission or a meeting was about to take place and they wouldn't be able to help him. After the third time he asked, he simply gave up on it and became even more distant from his parents and siblings. He had begun to spend even more time with Erza after the event in question and started showing signs of affection to the Bunnygirl, which she would return enthusiastically when they were alone.

However, around his ninth birthday, Minato and Kushina began to notice something strange. Naruto had begun to act even more affectionately toward Erza. Nothing too big. A kiss on the cheek when he thought nobody was looking or around. Holding her hand with their fingers intertwined. Hugs that went on for far longer than normal between passing acquaintances. So they had decided to install a miniature camera in his room. Mostly as a precaution. A little extra peace of mind. They had done the same for the girls' rooms. Just in case a visiting ninja or Tamer thought they could kidnap the children of the Hokage for ransom or some other foolish notion.

What they didn't expect to find...was footage of Naruto and Erza having sex in his room. Slowly, more footage began to pile up with Naruto having sex with Erza in different positions. Most with the Bunnygirl beneath him with very few involving her on top of him. Oral. Anal. Doggy style. Cowboy. Reverse Cowgirl. Cowgirl. 69. Missionary. You name it, they probably did it at least once to determine if they liked it or not.

Rather than be happy for their son, they were appalled that the innocent Bunnygirl 'raped' their son and took advantage of their generosity. In their mind, she was trying to get pregnant with his child in an attempt to access their wealth.

Truth be told, they couldn't be further from the truth. Over the first year since their initial introduction, Naruto had volunteered to help her out with her chores, often helping her avoid getting in trouble when she would accidentally spill something on her uniform. This led the two to taking baths together where, as Naruto got older and more curious, they began to experiment with touching. The touching went further when Naruto had accidentally made Erza orgasm while washing her breasts. After that, they began to kiss in secret before that got more heated and slowly evolved into a passionate relationship. Naruto had seemed to stop growing once he hit 4 feet 5 inches tall, but that didn't bother Erza. In fact, it kind of turned her on more. She taught him how to make her feel good and he quickly learned every erogenous area on her body, using them to make her climax dozens of times in the span of an hour.

Because of this, the portion of her paycheck that went toward Taming Cycles had begun to build up. So, for Naruto's ninth birthday, she bought him a Pokeball using her newfound savings. So overjoyed was he with his gift from someone he had started falling in love with, he asked her if she would give him one more gift. That was the day their intimate excursions into the world of sex and love had begun.

Shortly after his tenth birthday, Minato and Kushina had decided to confront Erza.

They were standing in an empty hallway. Erza looked quite upset, worrying what the Lord and Lady of the house wanted to speak with her privately about.

Minato took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go, Erza-san," he said firmly.

"Wh...why," she asked as tears began to fill her eyes. "Haven't I done everything you asked me to do?"

"You have, Erza-san," Kushina said quickly. "And we really appreciate it. But...we know about you and Naruto's...intimacy."

Erza paled, covering her mouth with her hands. She was afraid of something like this happening when she first started falling in love with Naruto. It was why they were always careful when they started to become intimate.

"We think it would be best if you simply stopped working here...and never saw our son again," Minato stated coldly.

The tears that were welled up in Erza's eyes were now spilling out as she pushed past Minato and Kushina, through the front door and slamming it behind her.

"What the hell was that," said the cold, emotionless voice of their only son, catching them off guard.

"Naruto," Kushina said in surprise before collecting herself. "Watch your mouth, young man. That is no way to speak to your parents."

"No," he said in the same cold tone, causing the two adults to wince as if they had been stricken unsuspectingly. "Now I'll ask you again. What the hell was that and don't give me an answer that you think I want to hear."

"We did what was best for you, Naruto," Minato said in a placating manner, but Naruto would have none of it.

"Bullshit," he spat, leveling a glare toward his father. "If you wanted to do what was best for me, you would have come to me before firing Erza-chan. You spend all of your time with Mito and Naruko that you completely forget you have a son. Erza-chan was there for me. She at least cared enough to remember my birthday while you spent all day with the twins and the clan heads. Every year. Not just once or twice, but for the last seven fucking years! And now, all of a sudden, you decide that you want to do what's best for me? Why not teach me how to unlock my chakra like you taught the twins? Why not teach me how to be a ninja like you taught the twins? Why do you pretend I don't exist?!"

"You don't understand, Naruto-kun," Kushina cooed. "We need to teach them how to harness the power of Kyubi so..."

"...so they can become the best ninja in the village," Naruto asked harshly. "So they can show their enemies how powerful Konoha is with two Jinchuriki? Go on. I'm very curious as to why they would need to learn how to use it when they cannot be influenced by Kyubi herself since her soul was devoured by Zalera."

Minato and Kushina bit their lips, trying to come up with an answer.

"Please, Naruto-kun," Minato pleaded to his furious son. "You have to understand that everything we do has a reason. We need you to trust us."

"Trust you," Naruto scoffed. "You want me to trust you after you threw away what feels like the only source of happiness I have ever had in this family? Trust you that the reason I'm not learning to become a ninja or a Tamer from either you or the academy is for my own good, but you have no problem letting Mito and Naruko go to become Ninja Tamers? Trust is a two way street and you have done nothing to earn it from me. Now, if you don't have anything important to say, I'm going to find Erza-chan."

Naruto pushed past his parents and was about to walk out of the front door when a glowing chain shot out and wrapped around the wrist that was wrapped around the door knob. He turned around and his cold eyes landed on Kushina's outstretched hand that had a glowing chain leaving her palm.

"I can't let you go after her, Naruto-kun," she said firmly.

"What are you going to do," Naruto asked. "Punish me? Send me to my room? Beat me with those chains of yours? Do it. Punish me. Punish the son you have ignored for the last seven years for trying to help the closest person he has to a friend who has made him feel loved for once in his miserable life."

Kushina flinched, her chain slacking slightly at the reminder Naruto had so viciously delivered. Naruto tore his wrist free from the loosened chain. "I thought so," he said victoriously before opening the door and running outside in search for his best friend and lover.

As he searched high and low for Erza, he found himself wandering through the park. When his gaze landed on the chess tables, there was only one person sitting at them. He was an older man, like many who visited the tables. He wore a brown traveling cloak that hid most of his features from view save for the gray hair that poked out of the front, a tired smile, and his glowing blue eyes. He was short seeing as his legs dangled over the edge of the chair with a foot or so between the soles of his feet and the grassy floor.

He motioned for Naruto to take the seat in front of him, the chess board having already been set up while he sat there, most likely. Curious, Naruto hopped on the opposite chair. "Hello, my boy," he said, his accent was thick with a foreign tongue that he had never heard before, yet he spoke the native language fluently in spite of it.

"Hello, oji-sama," Naruto said politely. "Have you seen a crying Bunnygirl come past here?"

"I have," the man admitted, causing Naruto's mood to perk up. "It felt only proper to give her time to herself as she ran by. So sad to see anyone in such a state."

Naruto nodded. "Which direction did she go?"

The old man chuckled. "Don't worry," he said. "She isn't going any further. I wanted to play a game of chess. Since you wandered by and I'm all alone, would you like to play with me?" Naruto looked down sadly, nodding his head slightly. "She must really mean a lot to you."

"She means everything to me," Naruto said, the conviction in his voice undoubtable.

"For a boy as young as you, it does my heart good to see such passion between a Pokegirl and her Tamer," the old man said with a sigh of contentment as the game began.

"I'm not her Tamer," Naruto admitted. "Not yet at least. She used to be a maid for my family. Over time, our relationship blossomed and we...I love her. When my parents found out, they fired her and told her never to see me again." Naruto had no idea why he was suddenly saying these things to a complete stranger, but...he couldn't stop. He wanted to get this off of his chest. He moved a piece on his side of the board and the game continued. "I'm not going to let them or anyone get in the way of my happiness."

"You sound like I did when I was young," the old man said with a sigh of content...and mild sorrow. "Full of anger and love. If you continue down that path, only pain and loneliness await you."

"I don't hate my family," he said before thinking a moment. "No. Rather, they annoy me. I wanted to be a ninja, but they won't teach me how to harness my chakra. I want to be a Tamer, but they pushed away the only Pokegirl I was close to. They are so focused on the twins that they often forget I even exist. They go out to eat and my only company is Erza. She showed me that she cares for me. That she loves me far more than my own family seems to. How am I supposed to feel when I have all of these conflicting emotions?"

"I see," the man said to himself as he moved yet another piece only for Naruto to take it and him to take the piece that took his own. "Tell me, Naruto-boy. What would you say if I could help you follow your dream? To be able to become the kind of man you see yourself becoming?"

Naruto's eyes widened. "You can unlock my chakra," he asked almost desperately.

The man shook his head. "Unfortunately, I've never learned how to harness chakra myself. But I do know of another power that I can easily access for you. It will be up to you to learn how to harness that power, though. Learn how to control it. Fight with it. Forge bonds with it." Naruto seemed to nod eagerly. "While I can't unlock your chakra, I can separate it into its two base components: Mana and Ki. Mana is used by Mages to cast spells similar to how shinobi use chakra to perform their Ninjutsu, but it is far easier to manipulate. Ki is the physical aspect that is capable of enhancing your physical prowess by saturating your body, making it stronger and more durable than most. Ki, for those who are not well versed in how to manipulate it, is more difficult to use outside of your body. When they combine to form chakra, the rigidity of Ki and the fluidity of Mana makes it harder to draw out, but gives ninja and samurai the extra power that they need to perform their techniques or jutsu. However, once Mana and Ki are separated, they can never be united to form chakra again. Shinobi capable of using Magic usually do so because they have more Mana than Ki and the different balance allows them to channel their excess Mana into spells. Other than those very few people, it is virtually impossible for a shinobi to be able to use magic. However, I seem to recall that Vale Magical Academy sends representatives to the Elemental Nations after finding one woman here in Konoha capable of using Mana. They are the best people to go to if you want to master your Mana. That is, if you want me to separate your chakra for you."

Naruto bit his lip. If these people could take him away from Konoha or even the Elemental Nations, he could finally step out of the shadows of his sisters and be his own person. But that would cost him his chakra in the end.

"Alright," he said with a nod. "I'll do it."

"Good," the man said with a grin. He stepped off of the stool and placed his hand on Naruto's head. The young boy felt a wave of energy wash throughout his body,. He could actually feel the renewed energy rush through his body and a new sense of strength that accompanied it. The man withdrew his hand and nodded in satisfaction. "Done."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. That was it? Huh. He kinda expected it to hurt seeing as he was practically splitting his chakra into two separate energies that were used to make it.

"That's it?"

"Yep," the man said happily.

"Huh," he dumbly replied.

"Your Pokegirl is just a bit deeper into the park," the man said. "Sitting by the lake. I'd suggest you capture her and then go find the Vale Magical Academy's representatives. They won't be here for much longer."

"Thank you for everything, Jiji," Naruto said, bowing to the elderly man who helped him to get started on the path to his dreams.

The man waved him off. "Don't worry about it, Naruto-boy," he said with a gleam in his hidden eyes and a smirk on his lips. "I'm sure you will find everything you're looking for in due time. Hopefully, this steers you away from the path I took when my best friend and I were having similar troubles."

Naruto nodded and ran off, unaware that he had left the chess game or even played it. The old man looked at the placement of the remaining pieces.

"It looks like I have chosen my heir better than I had thought," he said as he noticed he had been put in checkmate with no routes of escape. He knocked over his King and started to vanish from sight. "I just hope he doesn't make the same mistakes I did."

Naruto searched the park near and far before finally spotting the lake the old man must have been talking about. Sitting at the edge of the lake was a weeping Bunnygirl he recognized immediately.

"Erza-chan," Naruto called out excitedly before running toward the sobbing Pokegirl.

Erza's ears perked up when she picked up the familiar cry, causing her to turn around just as an orange blur flew directly into her breasts and felt a pair of tiny arms wrap around her body. She wrapped her arms around his head, still sobbing slightly, and gave a faint smile.

He looked up from his position between her breasts and gave her a halfhearted glare. "Don't you ever run away from me like that again," he said flatly.

"But Lord Namikaze," she started, still sobbing lightly. She refused to use his first name since she no longer worked for him and did not feel right addressing him so familiarly after they had explicitly told her never to see Naruto again.

Naruto pulled his head back from her bountiful bosom and prodded one of her large breasts with his finger, making her blush as his finger was swallowed by the fleshy mound. "You don't work for Hokage-sama or Lady Namikaze," he told her before turning away from her cute gaze with a small blush of his own. "You're my Pokegirl. The only person you should care about is me." He pulled out the Pokeball she had bought him for his birthday last year. "When you bought me this, you said that you'd stay by my side for the rest of your life. Will you still abide by that promise?"

"I'm sorry for upsetting you do badly, Naruto-kun," she said, wiping away the remaining tears that stained her face before bowing to him. "Please accept me as your Pokegirl."

Naruto smiled and tapped Erza's head with the red and white orb. A crimson beam shot out from it, engulfing her in it before retreating into the Pokeball. The ball wiggled only once before a ding echoed through the forest, signifying that the capture had been successful. He pressed the button on the front and the same light shot toward the ground before disappearing, revealing Erza standing there as if she had not been captured by the Pokeball.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Young Master," she said in a seductive tone.

"We're going home," he said in response. "After that, we're going to have lunch followed by going into the village. I have a few errands to run in town today."

"Very well," she said happily, knowing what to expect when they got home. "Is there anything I should know about these errands we'll be running?"

Naruto nodded as she led them to the Namikaze Estate. "First on the agenda is to get you a couple of outfits. Once that's done, I heard rumors that a group of people are here searching for magically talented or magically gifted individuals for some place called the Vale Magical Academy. If I can't become a ninja and my parents refuse to let me become a Tamer, I need to find someway to get out of here and do something rather than become a civilian for the rest of my life."

"Do you think you have a talent for Magic," she asked him curiously. He got that twinkle in his eye. The one that usually meant he had a plan or he was happy with the outcome of something he had been keeping an eye on.

"I believe I do," he said with a sense of finality, letting her know he wanted to drop the subject until he was ready to tell her the full story.

Erza nodded with a brilliant smile. She had absolute faith in Naruto. If he said he wanted to become a Mage, she would support him regardless of how things would turn out for them. She loved him and those sentiments would not be dashed away as quickly as Lord and Lady Namikaze had hoped. Naruto was her Master now, therefore, she would not hesitate to put him before anyone else. She would do everything she could for him...for his happiness.

When the pair finally reached the Namikaze Estate, they found Minato and Kushina talking among themselves in the living room. Before they could silently slip past them, they Managed to overhear a small portion of their conversation.

"I wish I had let Zalera take me when I had the chance," Minato said with a slight slur. Naruto had known his father had occasionally drank, but never to the point of inebriation.

"You had no way to know that I would live after having Kyubi torn from me," Kushina said firmly. "Even Tsunade-sama doesn't know how I survived. You were only looking out for our children."

"Maybe, but if I had, Naruto might have been able to become a Ninja...maybe even a proper Tamer or even a Ninja Tamer," he spat venomously. "But because I didn't, she took almost all of his chakra...and maybe even his Blood Gifts."

"We haven't even had Naruto take the test to check for Blood Gifts and Curses," Kushina said soothingly. "It's still possible that he can become a wonderful Tamer. You saw how he stood up for Erza...and told us off."

Erza wrapped her arms around Naruto, sandwiching his head with her breasts. His hands were clenched and his body was beginning to shake.

'So this was their reason for treating me the way they did,' he thought to himself. As understandable as it was, it was also incredibly ignorant and foolish. There were many Tamers in Konoha who had very few Blood Gifts if they even had one at all and they still performed their duties as good as any Tamer or Ninja Tamer who was blessed with several Blood Gifts.

Rather than say anything, Naruto continued toward his room quietly before shutting the door without making a sound.

Lemon Warning...

Once they were safely inside of his room, Erza began to undress. Her maid uniform, while rather form fitting and mildly revealing, was a symbol that she worked for the Namikaze family. Once Naruto had claimed her as his Pokegirl by capturing her, she was no longer able to take orders from anyone save Naruto and the Alpha and/or Beta of his Pokegirl Harem.

She had learned early on not to wear a bra. Her breasts were one of a few things Naruto wanted easy access to when she began to teach him her erogenous points and how to please her the best for two reasons. The first was that Naruto had a fetish for breasts of any size and shape. The fact that hers were large was part of the second reason. The second reason was that her breasts were so large and soft that he sometimes used them as pillows when he slept. She jokingly said that with how he slept, he might want to capture a Jigglyslut or an Igglyrunt to fulfill that area of his life.

When she was completely nude, she stood in the corner of the room. Naruto stopped his brooding and looked up toward her. However, just as he was feeling his mood brighten, he spotted something that turned his mood sour and made his blood boil. In the top corner of the room where Erza stood...was a miniature camera focused on his bed and angled to see everything between the other three corners of the room.

"So that's how they found out," he grumbled angrily. Erza looked confused until her gaze landed where his had.

They had been watching them become intimate! That was a huge invasion of privacy!

Using her powerful legs, she jumped up and yanked it off the wall. Casually, Naruto took the camera, opened the window to his room, and tossed it into the middle of the yard before shutting the window again to ensure that nobody would hear anything coming from the room.

"Now that we know there isn't anyone watching," Erza said, still a bit upset that her former employers had watched them make love several times before firing her. She gave him a flirty smirk, taking the moment to sit on his bed. "Where should we begin?"

Naruto approached her silently and took the opportunity to suckle on one of her exposed nipples. Ever since she told him that her nipples were an erogenous point for her, he took the opportunities that showed themselves to focus on them. It didn't hurt that he had a Breast Fetish. Small or large. Size didn't matter. As long as he was surrounded by boobs, he would be happy.

She blushed a brilliant shade of crimson as a smooth wave of pleasure shot through her body. It wasn't long before she felt herself orgasm simply from having her breast sucked on by her beloved Master. Her body shivered in pleasure and liquid soaked her thighs. Naruto removed his lips from her breast and slid off of her lap. He began to quickly undress until he too was completely nude. His body was toned from exercising, something he had gotten into the habit of doing when he wanted to train to become a ninja. He had an almost feminine body type. Likely a trait he got from his mother. She looked down to his package and gave a glowing smile. His package was hardened and at the maximum length of five inches. For anyone older than him, that would be an average length, but for his age and body type, it seemed larger than the average. She gave him a warm smile before laying down on her back and spreading her legs, revealing her shaved crotch.

Naruto needed no further incentive before walking over, soaking his member in her juices, and slowly sliding into her. Her moans as he thrust into her were like music to his ears, urging him to keep going. She wrapped her legs around his back gently and pulled him deeper into her, causing him to moan slightly. After a few minutes, she felt herself prepare for her second climax. Naruto must have noticed because his lips latched onto the opposite nipple than the one he used to get her to her first orgasm. His thrusts and the explosive sensation of his tongue on her nipple were enough to make her back arch and her eyes to roll into the back of her head when they came together.

End Lemon...

When Erza finally came back to her senses, she saw Naruto had gotten dressed in a simple burnt orange shirt and black jeans. "Get dressed, Erza-chan," he said monotonously. "We're going shopping for a new outfit or two for you."

She nodded and got dressed in her maid uniform, silently awaiting the moment she could wear something else and finally rid herself of the uniform of the Namikaze family, before they left the house just as quietly as they had entered.

"Of course, Young Master," she said seductively. She always became a bit...clingy and more affectionate after she and Naruto had made love. He didn't mind it though. Why would he? He loved her as much as she loved him. Her heart was still racing as she recalled how Naruto pleasured her mere moments ago.

Naruto paused, cocking his head to the side as he looked at her. "Why have you started calling me that," he asked. He probably didn't notice it or didn't put much thought into it when she first called him that, but now that his frustrations were gone and his mind was clearer, he had quickly picked up on the change in how she addressed him. When she worked for his parents, she started with Naruto-sama, but as their relationship evolved, she began to mix in Naruto-kun when in private or Naruto-sama around others.

"Does it bother you," she asked, afraid to tell him that she was into reading rather erotic novels that were based around a female adult servant/maid and her Master who usually turned out to be a young man who had the appearance of a child or a child around Naruto's age.

Naruto seemed to take a moment to think about it. "Not really," he said curtly. "Just curious, I guess."

"Well, what do you believe your servant is supposed to address her much younger Master as," she asked in a teasing tone.

Naruto shrugged his shoulders, his curiosity satisfied for now. He pulled out a small wallet and opened it up. He'd been saving up his allowance for a while now and he was satisfied that he had, what he believed, enough money to buy her a new outfit or two.

As the pair walked down the street, they spotted a small shop with a sewing needle and a spool of thread on it. Upon walking in, they spotted a woman wearing a rather fashionable yellow dress with orange and crimson highlights. Her auburn hair was kept short and her silver eyes looked as sharp as the needles she worked with.

"Hello and welcome to Heart Kreuz Designs," she said happily. "How can I help you today?"

"I'm looking for a couple of outfits for Erza-chan," he said.

The woman began to look rather giddy as she looked Erza up and down before quickly drawing a measuring tape from somewhere and zipping along like a Cheetit that had too much coffee, taking measurements of Erza's body.

"Okay," she said as she rolled up the tape. "Big three measurements are 37 inch bust, 21 inch waist, and 33 inch hips. At 5 feet 6 inches tall...damn! A G-Cup! Don't see many of those walk in. This is going to be a challenge to make something that brings out all that sexy." Her grin widened and her eyes glowed even brighter. She loved challenging customers. "So what kind of outfit do you want? I just want some basic details. Color? Design? That kind of thing."

"Well, I definitely want something that stands out," Erza said confidently. "At least one outfit in orange or a similar color. My Young Master loves the color orange. I also want them to accentuate my breasts, giving him easy access to them while concealing them from others."

"Believe me," the woman said. "If I had puppies like those, I would consider hiding them a sin."

"I would also like to get her one for formal occasions and one for casual wear," Naruto called as he opened his wallet, pulling out a small stack of bills. "Is this going to be enough?"

She dashed over, grabbed the stack, and began to count. When she got halfway through, her eyes were wide. At the end of it, she had tears coming from her silver eyes. "Ho...how," she asked before shaking her head. "Nevermind. With this much money, I'll make your outfits the envy of the world! These will be some of my greatest masterpieces ever designed!"

She grabbed Erza by the hand and proceeded to drag her to the back room. Before the door shut, Erza's maid uniform had been tossed out and the door was soon locked behind them. Naruto took the moment to sit down in the lobby, reading whatever magazines were sitting on the table. Most of them were of famous Pokegirl models in very revealing outfits that brought out their best traits.

After a few hours, Erza walked out and caught her Master's attention with ease. She wore a purple, revealing kimono consisting of a short sleeveless tunic decorated in several orange flower motifs, with revealing openings on the sides and front, exposing much of the Bunnygirl's ample chest, and held closed by both a large, dark obi, which had a thin red rope tied around it and sporting a wide closing ribbon on the back, and by a lighter, smaller, white belt, which were both wrapped around an orange, flower-patterned cloth circling her waist on the back and the sides.

"What do you think, Young Master," she asked, giving him a twirl and showing off the movement of the clothing.

"Beautiful," he said almost breathlessly.

"Thank you," the seamstress replied with pride in her voice. "This is going to be her formal outfit." Naruto nodded in understanding. "With the amount of money you gave me, I was able to use some rather...exotic materials to give it a few special properties. It's incredibly elastic, meaning that as she evolves, it will expand or contract to always fit her body type. By pushing its elasticity even further, it prevents anyone from using it to bind or strangle her should you get into a fight or be caught off guard and captured. I call it the Robe of Yuen."

Naruto nodded with a smile. "I love it."

"I knew you would," she said excitedly. "Now, we're going to make her a more casual outfit." Once again, the two disappeared into the back room.

Unlike the first time, the two came back in far less time. When they did, Naruto was left looking gobsmacked. Featuring very few decorative parts, her attire was more like a fancy swimsuit bearing a resemblance to a Cheetit. The top took the form of a very revealing, Cheetit-patterned bikini top, in correspondence to Erza's large breasts and some fur lining the lower edges. Rather than pants, Erza was sporting a pair of revealing black shorts, with a belt holding a cloth hanging over Erza's left leg attached to them. Her arms were covered by dark armbands reaching up just below her shoulders, with Erza's left arm covered by a Cheetit-patterned armband. Her legs were covered in similar stockings reaching up to her thighs with designer high-heeled boots over them with the left boot reaching up to the knee. The right leg, on the other hand, is covered by a boot only reaching up to part of her calf. The outfit was completed by a large collar around her neck and by a tail hanging from the back of her shorts, both made of bushy fur, plus a pair of large Cheetit ears adorning both sides of her head. It looked strange when they looked to be close to where her bunny ears were, but when she evolved, it might not look so out of place.

All in all, Naruto would swear that Erza would have made a beautiful Cheetit. "Totally worth the price," he said with a warm smile.

"And if you ever need to add armor to any of her clothes, a Heart Kreuz Blacksmith should be able to do it for a smaller price than if you had gotten a custom armor done there," she said proudly. "This outfit was made with the same elastic materials, but not nearly as much as the Robe of Yuen, so it will change to fit whatever size she becomes as she evolves. I also made it with a very light and aerodynamic material so that she has maximum allowed movement with minimal drag, granting her a boost to her speed. However, seeing as Bunnygirls are already pretty fast, it might not be as noticeable."

Erza walked over to Naruto's side and wrapped him in a massive hug, smothering his face in her breasts once more. Naruto was quick to return the hug before they bid the seamstress farewell and left with a small package that contained the Robe of Yuen.

Naruto began to walk toward the Ninja and Tamer Academy, causing Erza to become curious since she had never had to come this way during her time with the Namikaze family.

"Where are we going, Young Master," Erza asked.

"Ninja and Tamer Academy," Naruto replied. "If there are people from an academy where they teach others how to perform magic and control it, they would likely be at the one place where people are being trained to become Ninjas and Tamers to scout out those with potential to harness Mana. If memory serves, it is almost impossible for anyone with chakra to be able to use Mana, but when one person did, they were offered a chance to see if they could use magic. Since then, they come every so often to see if any more rare gems like that person would show up. At least...that's the rumor around town."

Erza nodded. Within a matter of minutes, the two were standing in front of the Ninja and Tamer Academy. It wasn't terribly difficult to find. Just a bit out of the way for those who didn't have children attending. The closer they got, the more they could see. Students were in a semicircle listening to a Supe-Bra Genius give them a lecture on Pokegirls while Chunin teachers, made kind of obvious by their flak jackets, were teaching students a series of moves that looked a lot like the martial arts kata he had seen the twins practicing with Minato.

However, sitting on a small bench, overlooking the various students, were three different-looking men wearing similar robes. Two looked rather young. Likely in their late twenties to early thirties. The man that sat between them was much older. His silvery eyes held wisdom deep within them and a unique sense of power to match.

While Naruto was looking around, contemplating what to do, the older man's eyes perked up as he felt something he had only sensed on his trip here nearly fifteen years ago. The familiar tingle of magic and Mana entered his mind and he turned his head slightly to see Naruto with his uniquely dressed Bunnygirl companion. The old man smiled before standing up, causing his two companions to do the same.

"Do you sense something, Master Geralt," one young man with brown hair and green eyes had asked.

"Maybe," Geralt said before walking over to the boy who caught his attention. "Excuse me, young man. Could you spare us a moment of your time?"

Naruto snapped out of his daze when the older man spoke to him directly. He nodded somewhat weakly. "Of course, ojii-sama," Naruto replied with a bow of his head, which Erza copied promptly.

Geralt turned his attention to his companions. "Marcus. Alexander," he called in an authoritative tone, grabbing their attention. "Let's go to the library. It should be private enough to have our discussion." He turned toward Naruto. "If that would be suitable for you, of course."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn't matter to me."

It wasn't long before Naruto, Erza, and the trio who accompanied them had found themselves in the library in a large room tucked away somewhere. Geralt moved to the closed door and placed strange-looking symbols across it. As he did this, Alexander and Marcus began to set out a series of items on the conference table in front of him. What struck him as odd was that none of the items seemed to have any common theme with the other aside from the fact that they had nothing in common. Once the room was set up to their satisfaction, Naruto was seated in a chair with Erza choosing to stand behind him as a mostly precautionary manner while the other three sat across from him.

"What's your name, son," Geralt asked in a kind tone.

"Naruto," he admitted. "Naruto Uzumaki."

"Well then, Mister Uzumaki, what do you know about magic," the elderly man asked.

Naruto paused as he thought about the question for a moment. "Magic is kind of like the Ninjutsu and Genjutsu that ninjas use," he answered hesitantly. "chakra is partially comprised of Mana, the power Mages use to perform Magic and gives Ninjutsu and Genjutsu their magic-like properties, while the other half is made up of Ki, the more physical aspect of chakra, which is used by ninjas in their Taijutsu."

"A somewhat basic textbook answer, but that just about sums it up to a degree," Alexander said with a smile, causing Naruto's confidence to grow to a small degree.

"Have you ever accessed your Mana before," Geralt asked. Naruto shook his head negative. "Alright. In order for you to perform any of these tests, you need to be able to summon your Mana. Thankfully, we half expected that to be the case and set up the room accordingly. Now. Follow my instructions and you will be able to access your Mana." Naruto nodded vigorously. "Close your eyes and begin to focus on your body. When you have an unobstructed focus, feel around for a large pool of energy coming from your core."

Naruto nodded and did as Geralt had said. He sat down, crossing his legs as he had seen the occasional monk from the Fire Temple do on their yearly visits to Konoha, and began to close out the world around him. The sounds of Geralt's voice seemed to dull into a mildly annoying hum before even that could no longer be heard. As he searched for the sensation the aged Mage had told him to look for, he began to feel...something humming just beneath the surface of what he was trying to sense. Cautiously, he reached out to it and the closer he got, the more melodic the hum began to sound. He continued to reach out before...

...nothing.

He opened his eyes and began looking around. Rather than seeing the room he had been in or the trio of Mages, he saw, quite possibly, the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. She bore crimson eyes with long, strawberry blonde hair that looked a shade or two away from being orange that cascaded down her back and shoulders like a curtain. Her eyes twinkled with a mischievous glow as a smirk danced upon her lips. She turned toward him and his eyes had begun to memorize her every curve. Her breasts were perky and large, though nowhere near as large as Erza's, with light pink areolas sitting atop the bountiful mounds. If he were to hazard a guess, he would say she was a DD-Cup, at the very least, though without a way to gather her measurements, he had no way to know. Her vagina was neatly trimmed in a way that was pleasing to the eye. Nine strawberry blonde tails, again bordering the orange color scale, danced behind her, each one swaying, but never touching any of the other eight tails.

Before he knew it, she was walking toward him while he was practically frozen in place. The closer she got, the more he found himself realizing just who was in front of him. As she wrapped him up in a warm embrace, pressing his face between her breasts, he uttered a single word.

"Kyubi."

He heard her sigh before gently pushing him away and placing a hand on his cheek, a frown marring her natural beauty. "What is it with you Ningen and your insufferable need to call others by something other than their proper name," she asked him somewhat harshly.

Naruto winced. "Sorry," he muttered in a barely audible whisper.

She huffed before running a thumb across his cheek, gently stroking the whisker-like birthmarks on his cheek. "I suppose I can't exactly blame you," she said teasingly. "I doubt anybody know my name and I doubt they were in a hurry to learn it while I was...occupied before I was sealed away. It's Yasaka, by the way."

Naruto tried to shake himself from his stupor. "But I thought Zalera devoured your soul," he said shakily.

Yasaka retracted her hand from his cheek as if she had somehow burned herself. Her frown turned into a frightening snarl as she snorted. "I simply did not expect that fool of a father of yours to summon an Esper when he couldn't and shouldn't have been able to use Magic," she spat. "I'd rather have my soul devoured than have my power completely severed from my soul and placed into a pair of brats while I'm stuck here, powerless, tied to your very soul by what little of Zalera's power that binds us together." She sighed sadly before smirking back at him. "At least I didn't get the short end of the deal. You, my dear Jinchuriki, are far more interesting than the rest of your pathetic village. Far more interesting than even I initially thought."

She conjured a comfortable love seat before sitting down in it, forcing Naruto to sit in her lap.

"Wh...what," he stuttered as she enveloped his tiny body in hers and a brilliant blush lit up his cheeks as he felt her breasts rub against the sides of his head, each one sitting comfortably on each of his shoulders.

"Even without my power, you have far more potential than any shinobi could hope to dream of," she whispered sensually in his ear, sending shivers down his spine. "Unlike chakra and your Ninjutsu, Magic is a talent with limitless potential. All you need is a sharp mind, talent, and an endless imagination. I've seen ninja spend years of their lives learning a single Ninjutsu technique and even longer than that to invent one that nobody has ever seen before. However, Magic is different. Mages can spend their entire lives learning and mastering hundreds, if not thousands, of spells whereas the typical ninja might only have a couple of dozen at his disposal at any point in time. You can do virtually anything you put your mind to with Mana while those with chakra will only be able to do things that have been done by many others before them.

She placed her right hand on his bare right pectoral while her left hovered very close to his crotch. She took a deep breath through her nose, almost as if she was taking in his very scent, before releasing a sigh of contentment.

"If there is one thing you should be thankful for, it is that your Uzumaki Longevity and powerful life force are bound to your blood rather than your chakra," she said huskily, her voice echoing the level of desire she had built up over the years as a prisoner within her Jinchuriki. "If that were not the case, my soul might have devoured yours, granting me a mortal existence. Of course, I would have eventually returned to being a Kyubi once I hit puberty, free of my temporary mortal body and able to be free once again."

"Do you know how dreadful it has been being a prisoner in the body of two separate women," she asked, her voice growing irritated the more she spoke. "I had to force myself to endure Mito and Kushina mating with their respective husbands just so my own power would remain my own. I tried to force them to Threshold, but those blasted seals always prevented them from becoming Pokegirls."

Naruto winced as her nails scratched the surface of his skin, but did not draw blood. It was still painful. She looked down at his pained face and relaxed her body.

"Sorry, Naruto-kun," she said honestly with a sensual tone to it. "I'm just...very frustrated with your lineage. Trying to take that which does not belong to them for the sake of power. Now, however, they actually Managed to separate my power from my soul without knowing the repercussions for doing such a thing."

"What do you mean, Yasaka-san," Naruto asked, partly curious and partly fearful for what could befall his sisters. Despite everything, he still loved the twins with every fiber of his being. It wasn't their fault his parents practically ignored his existence for the last seven years.

She smiled sweetly at his use of her proper name. "I don't know," she said plainly. "As I said before, it's never happened before. It will affect their Blood Gifts and Curses. That much is what I am sure of. However, if they try to use my power, there is nothing there to regulate the amount they can access. If they access too much, they could very well lose complete control. They would surrender to their instincts, grasping for more power until they went completely insane or until someone killed them or sealing away my power from them. With the dwindling number of sealing experts in the world, I'd wager that the first or second would be the most likely scenarios. Naturally, when your sisters die, my power would almost certainly return to me. And with practically all of my power in your body, it would become too much for your body to handle and I would be set free when my power inevitably overloads your body. Thankfully, you have a way to prevent them from drawing too much power."

"How," he asked, his throat dry from the idea of dying should Mito and Naruko die.

"Why...me, of course," she said smoothly. "Even if I don't have my power, it will still respond to my soul. I could subjugate it, but that would be like putting a band-aid on a leaking boat. A temporary fix. The long term solution would be for me to absorb it, but then you face the same problem. Too much power. You die. I'm free."

"Does every scenario of you getting free result in my untimely death," he asked flatly.

"Pretty much," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. "But you shouldn't worry about that. I would never do anything to harm you intentionally."

"Why?"

"Well...because you are different from my last jailers," she replied sweetly. "You are far more open-minded than those who surround you. Rather than see me as a beast of destruction and rage, you actually listened to me. Not that I gave you much choice, mind you, but it still means a lot to me anyway."

"What," he asked weakly, causing her to giggle.

"I could feel it," she said dreamily. "I was barely awake at the time. Mostly trying to sleep and try and get back even an ounce of my power. When you met that cloaked old man, he separated your chakra. I could feel it. Your Ki flowing through every pore in your body. Your Mana revitalizing and reinforcing your chakra coils to adapt to holding and using Mana and creating your Second Origin. It washed through my soul and...woke me up, I guess you could say. When I finally found myself awake, I took the chance to go through your memories. Learn more about you. What drives you. What annoys you. What turns you on." At this, Naruto blushed as he felt her embrace him even further into her bosom. He could feel both of her fleshy mounds all over his face and, against his own mental cries, his fetish had won out and his body relaxed. "So naturally, I want to see you flourish," she said merrily. "But in order to do that, I needed to meet with you which brings us to where we are now. When you tried to draw on your Mana, it was the perfect time to draw you into your mindscape, the plane between The Dreaming and the real world."

Naruto's brow furrowed. "So...have I called on my Mana yet," he asked curiously.

She nodded. "You did," she admitted proudly. "It was a large burst for someone calling out to it for their first time, but doing so knocked you unconscious due to how relatively new this new power is to your body. Even now, your body is getting accustomed to it, so it temporarily shut down until it could completely acclimate, which shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to an hour tops."

"So aside from meeting me," he started, "why did you bring me here?"

"To get to know you better, she replied as if it was something he should have known. "Your memories tell me one thing. However, to get to know who you are as a person, I had to connect with you personally rather than base my understanding of you on your memories." She sighed heavily. "Believe it or not, whether we like it or not, our souls are bound together by something other than a silly ninja's attempt at a Rune that they call seals. If we had been, I would have simply killed you, taken over your body, and gone my merry way. However, Zalera is the Esper of Death. Even her powers are able to extinguish the lives of those who cross her path with ease. However, by using her power to seal my soul into you, she has essentially bound our fates together. It is entirely likely that if you die, I might very well die also. If I had access to even a fraction of my power, I might have been able to find a suitable body, overtake their soul, and essentially revive myself, though I would be forced to evolve into a Kyubi the hard way and I didn't fancy a Nogitsune when I was but a kit. As it stands, we can either ignore one another, pretending the other doesn't exist, or we can work together, hopefully find a way to regain my body or, at the very least, one that is similar to my original body, and coexist far better than most Jinchuriki could ever hope for."

"And how am I supposed to trust that you won't try and break free," he asked skeptically.

She sighed. This is where all of the terrible things she had done would inevitably come back to bite her. "I'm not asking you to trust me completely," she said solemnly. "I'll be the first to admit that I'm no saint. I've done some terrible things in my life that I'm not proud of anymore. All I'm asking for...is a chance. A chance to prove my sincerity. If I blow it, you'll never have to see me or talk to me ever again. Can you give me that much? Just one chance to prove that I want to help you?"

Naruto paused as he mulled over her words. On one hand, she wasn't responsible for the attack on Konoha since she had been sealed away in his mother prior to assaulting Konoha and being separated from her power. On the other hand, she was a kitsune. She could be trying to trick him into retrieving her power for her own desires and to hopefully free her. She made it all too clear how she could use him to regain her lost power then kill him so she would be released. Did he trust her? No. Not by a long shot. Hell had a better chance of freezing over. Could he give her a chance to redeem herself for her past sins? Give her a chance for the absolution she seemed to be searching for?

He sighed. "Alright," he said. "I'll give you a chance." If he didn't, he feared that he would be just like his parents, refusing to give him the chance to prove that he had what it took to be a ninja, regardless of the issue with his chakra. "But you'll have to earn my trust. If you feel like something you have to say is important, I want you to speak up about it. I want to trust you, Yasaka-san, but to blindly trust someone is just as dangerous as being too paranoid to trust anyone."

Yasaka squealed in excitement, causing Naruto to thank whatever God or Goddess was being merciful that her breasts were acting like fleshy headphones, blocking out the worst of the noise. She jumped from the love seat and spun around, either ignoring or simply oblivious to the fact that she still had Naruto wedged between her breasts.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun," she said happily. "I won't let you down. I promise." It wasn't until she felt the weight of his body begin to fade that she smiled even brighter. "And it looks like you're about to wake up. Don't worry. We'll still be able to talk. Now that we've come to this understanding, I'll be able to establish a psychic connection that should allow me to communicate with you telepathically. If you don't want people to think you're crazy, I would suggest simply thinking what you want to say to me."

Naruto nodded and closed his eyes as his body began to fade from his mindscape. Everything began to return to him slowly. His hearing. His breathing. The world around him burst forth into bright colors as his eyes slowly fluttered open. The lighting of the room seemed to go from blinding to tolerable just as slowly as his eyes began to open.

"He's awake," he heard, though it sounded like a dull throb in his head.

"Of course, Alexander," Geralt replied from his seated position to Naruto's left. "After all, his body is naturally geared toward using chakra. For anyone else, they would have easily summoned it to the surface, but for one to gather an energy that their body is not familiar with and attempt to do the same, it could easily cause one to fall unconscious at best."

"And the worst case scenario, Master Geralt," Marcus asked hesitantly.

"Excruciating pain the likes of which I would never dream of," Grealt said. "His body had to force itself to accommodate Mana coursing through his body as well as develop his Second Origin. If he were not unconscious at the time that this happened, his cries would breach any Soundproofing Rune we laid down and his body would be incapable of moving for weeks, if not longer, due to the process."

Naruto coughed, allowing himself to sit upright from his laid down position. "How...was that," he asked roughly. Even to Alexander and Marcus, who were still considered novices under Master Geralt's teachings, could tell that his body was still struggling to move. But Naruto was a stubborn-looking child. Erza the Bunnygirl had simply laid his head on her lap and stroked his hair with a smile, saying that she had nothing but pure faith in her Young Master to fulfill his ambitions of becoming a Mage.

"You did far better than most who awaken their Mana for the first time," Geralt praised. "Even for the short amount of time you began to channel it, you had outperformed many of our more advanced students. However, you lack control. That, thankfully, is something that can be worked on at the Academy and for these tests, it might get us better results." Naruto nodded, his eyes turned steely and cold as he mentally and physically prepared himself. "There are a grand total of eleven foci to test how much potential you show for certain schools of Magic that are taught at the Academy. One by one, you will take them in your hand and channel your Mana through it. Based on the reactions from the objects, we'll determine the level of potential you have for that school. Most people who have been chosen by Vale or were scouted pass two of the tests with amazing results at the very least. If you don't pass any of the tests, you can still apply, though the process would most definitely be lengthy."

"I understand," he replied.

"Good," Grealt said with a gentle smile. "Your first test will be of Invocation and Evocation. Take hold of the rod and do not worry. The flames that will spill out from it are harmless and will not daMage the room."

Naruto took the rod in hand and was surprised when it burst into flames. He nearly dropped it, but his mind regained control. His hand was not burning or hurting from being in contact with the flames. So he did as he was asked and channeled his Mana into the rod. The flames shot from the tip at a startling pace. Within seconds, the flames had touched the ceiling and spread out to the sides. The room was 12 feet tall from floor to ceiling. The fact that the flames had Managed to go around 8 feet in the air and continued to fill the room was shocking. If Geralt had performed this test outdoors, it would likely have become a beacon for the ninja of the village to congregate around, likely leading to questions he did not wish to answer.

"That's enough, Naruto," Geralt said, writing down a note on a piece of paper. Naruto set down the rod. As soon as it stopped touching his skin, the flames disappeared almost...magically, he silently joked to himself. "Next, take that crest in hand."

Naruto nodded and did as he was told. As he channeled his Mana into the crest, a small sphere began to grow. Larger and larger the sphere grew before it stopped. He tried to channel even more Mana into the crest, but the result was the same.

"I see," Alexander said as Geralt began to scribble down a few notes. "I was able to make a bigger one when I was tested, but not by much. It's still an impressive feat, Naruto."

The boy glowed at the amount of praise he was receiving. It was...strange...to hear such praise not come from Erza, but not unwelcomed or unappreciated. Naruto set down the crest and picked up a clear crystal. The colors shifted quickly from red to orange, then it changed to a bronze color, followed by even more metallic colors. It flew through every metallic color in the spectrum before settling on a platinum color.

"Very impressive," Marcus remarked. "You have three incredible talents and the tests have only just begun. I wonder how you'll do with the others." Naruto picked up a bubble wand that he had seen a few kids around Konoha play with. He channeled his Mana once again and bubbles began to spit out of it. They weren't being shot out at a rapid pace, but it was steady, blowing out about five average-size bubbles per second. "Er. Maybe I should have kept that to myself."

Naruto looked toward Marcus curiously. "Was that a bad result," he asked nervously.

"No," Geralt commented. "It wasn't like the second ninja, a young girl, we found with a vast Magic potential, but it wasn't nothing either. You have a talent, but it is nowhere near as great as your first three tests had proven. Truthfully, it is expected that one person cannot be incredibly talented in every aspect of Magic. Even the most powerful sorcerers and witches usually specialize in one or two schools rather than try to master every school of Magic there is."]

Naruto nodded, replacing the bubble wand with...a bone of some kind? He channeled Mana through it...but nothing happened. No sounds. No shaking. Nothing. It was just an ordinary bone.

"I see," Geralt said. "Did you know that your Second Hokage was a Mage?" Naruto's eyes widened. "He was an incredibly gifted individual. My master was the one who recruited him while I, as his apprentice, was simply there to observe. That thigh bone in your hands? It is used to figure out how much potential someone has for Necromancy. He almost broke the bone as much as it vibrated and rattled in his hand. Since then, I have never come across an individual as talented in the art as he was."

Naruto quickly placed the bone down. That he had touched an object that nearly broke in the hands of Lord Second was something he never expected to hear, but he had and...it was a bit awe inspiring for him to hear that even a Hokage had been able to become a Mage. He quickly picked up the next object, a green orb that felt slimy, but left no residue on his hand. He channeled his Mana into the sphere and it began to change shape. It was slow to reach a pyramid...before it turned into a cube...then into a cylinder...then into a discus. Then it stopped changing.

Alexander sighed in frustration. "Three tests passed with great results. Two tests with average results. And no talent for Necromancy. You are being very difficult to pin down, aren't you?"

Naruto ignored him and picked up a golden token that he had seen kids spend at the arcade in town. Channeling his Mana into it, it began to glow. When it was finished, it was a little brighter than a glowstick, but not as bright as a light bulb. Naruto shrugged his shoulders as he set the token down and took a moment to breathe, easing the tension in his body and allowing his Mana to return to him. He had four more items to test, it seemed.

He reached down to the foam projectile and channeled his Mana into it. What he didn't expect was for a thick, purple smoke to engulf the room within seconds. Naruto hastily set the item down and allowed the purple smoke to dissipate. When the smoke cleared, the trio were looking at him with wide eyes. Geralt quickly wrote down a note before seemingly underlining it several times. The next item was a red staff. He channeled Mana into it, but nothing happened. Geralt made note of this too. Naruto grabbed a tan robe and channeled his Mana into it. However, the robe only seemed to brighten in color slightly from tan to an off white color. He set that down and grabbed hold of a Pokegirl plushie that looked like Erza with a serious breast reduction and blonde hair.

He channeled his Mana into the doll and was surprised when it latched onto his arm. His eyes widened when he felt his Mana leave him even thought he tried to cut it off. "Can someone get this thing off of me," he asked hurriedly as he tried to cut his Mana off and began to yank at the doll. Alexander was holding a stopwatch. The longer the doll hung on, clinging to Naruto, the wider his eyes went. Eventually, the stopwatch had hit the thirty minute mark and the doll had yet to release her latest 'victim'.

"Half an hour, Master Geralt," he said, his voice shaking. "What's the time limit supposed to be?"

"An hour," Geralt said as if he was used to seeing the sight in front of them. Fifteen minutes later, the doll had finally released Naruto and the boy had climbed into the arms of his Bunnygirl, shooting a glare at the plushie. "Not bad, Naruto. You have great potential for Invocation/Evocation, Abjuration, Conjuration/Summoning, Black Magic, and Blue Magic. You have above average talent for Illusions, Transmutation, and Enchantment/Charms. A basic talent for White Magic, though you likely won't be healing anything more than minor wounds. And no talent for Necromancy and Red Magic. All-in-all, you are shaping up to be an incredibly talented Mage. I have no doubt that you'll be allowed to enroll as a student in Vale Magical Academy."

Naruto smiled brightly. He could finally take charge of his life. "So when do we leave," he asked.

"Since school doesn't start until August 16th, you'll have to wait until you turn 11 to actually begin taking classes," Geralt said. This school year had already started and, no matter how talented an applicant showed themselves to be, it was highly unlikely for them to accept him so late into the year. "However, since you will undoubtedly be getting offered a scholarship, we could spend the next year traveling around and teaching you about the world outside of the Elemental Nations."

Naruto's eyes glowed with excitement. "Yeah," he said excitedly. "Let me grab some things and I can meet you at the West Gate."

The group agreed with the plan and parted ways. Erza and an excited Naruto were actually running to the Namikaze Estate. Erza was giggling to herself since she had never seen this side of her Young Master before. It was...refreshing to see him act his age rather than act like an adult.

They burst through the front door, went to his room, packed their belongings in a backpack, and, once they had finished packing, were ready to leave. However, Naruto had another idea. Probably not the best one he'd ever had, but...he couldn't leave without saying something to his parents. So, he began to write a note. When he finished, he had placed it on the desk of the now spartan room before heading out to the West Gate where he would begin his journey into this new world. With his Mana unlocked and a whole other world to explore, Naruto Uzumaki had decided that he would spread his wings and learn to fly on his own.

'No,' he thought to himself. 'As long as I have Erza by my side and new friends wait for me over the horizon, I'll never be alone. Never again.'

And with those final thoughts, he walked out the open gate, taking his first step on a journey of a lifetime.

Chapter One End

Author's Notes: This chapter is longer than I initially thought it would be, but I guess that's my way of apologizing for not updating as often as I would like. If anyone can help me, the next chapter of Master Shinobi, Tamer Extraordinaire is giving me a bit of trouble. I'm trying to write a scene where Naruto is forced to pleasure the No-Life Queen under the threat that she would kill him, his Pokegirls, and his teammates and their Pokegirls if he refuses to do so and if he manages to pleasure her to her satisfaction, she will give him information on her Master, Hidan, and Team Akatsuki, but only information she would know, such as members she had seen or their goal. It's becoming incredibly annoying because nothing feels 'genuine' as I write it. I don't want to gloss it over either since this will be a life changing moment for him, showing him that he doesn't have to do everything on his own and that he can begin to trust his teammates with more personal/intimate information about him that they might have never been told had he not experienced this trauma.

If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Currently, I'll be trying to update my stories, transferring the parts I wrote on my phone to my new laptop, and posting the new chapters. I deeply appreciate you all for your input and your continued support while I split my time between working, relaxing, and my fictions. I do this because I enjoy it. It's why I don't want to get paid to do this. Not only that, but I doubt I'd make enough to risk leaving my job and help me pay the bills. Regardless, thank you for your support and all of your understanding. You have no idea how much this means to me.

This is Rave Rose of Twilight, signing out.
