Author's rant: Sorry for the wait, minna-san *bow apologatically*, I blame it on my co-writer who forced me to write his first story's first chapter the way he like and fix mis grammar mistakes, not to mention my exams keep me away from writing. Now is the epic fight that you're waiting for! By the way, one of the last members of the harem will make her appearance in this chapter!
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT MY PLOT!
Chapter 4
"Jiraiya" said Naruto venomously as he saw his former comrades one by one appeared, though he noticed that there were three redhead people that he didn't know also appeared. Though what confused him was he could sense their chakra signatures were quite simlar to his as well as youki and chakra that were very similar to Yoko's youki and chakra resided in the two younger twin redhead along with some very small traces of youki resided in the redhead woman.
"Is that your way to treat your sensei?" said the Sannin.
"No, it's not, but then again you were never my sensei and that includes you two," he said while pointing at both Iruka and Kakashi. "But anyhow, what are you doing here and what do you want?" he said in an angry manner though what happened next totally caught Naruto off guard
"Sochi-kun!" called the redhead woman as she tried to run toward Naruto. But before she could reach Naruto...
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
... Kurumi's flintlock had appeared in her left hand and she fired three bullets at the ground right in front of the woman and made her involuntarily stepped back
"While I understand that our husband's charm is extraordinary, that doesn't mean you can't just tell him you're his mother to that you can jump into his pants, bitch. Especially I know quite well that our dear husband isn't interested in incest" smirked Kurumi as a glint could be seen under the bang that covered her left eyes. Though for some unknown reasons, the 'husband' part went unnoticed by Konoha's group.
"I don't know who you are, woman. But please refrain from doing that again. And I know one thing for sure that I have no mother since I'm an orphan". Said Naruto coldly as Kushina felt her heart was torn to pieces after hearing her flesh and blood told her that.
"But I am Kushina! I'm your mother! Your REAL mother!" cried Kushina frantically. She wanted to reach out for him in order to prove that she was his kaa-san! Riri for her part didn't know what was going on, but the expression on her stepfather's as well as her Tohka-kaa-san's and Kurumi-kaa-san's face told her that these people weren't nice so she hid behind Naruto wrapping her little arms around one of his legs. At the same time, Touka and Kurumi were standing on either side of Naruto so that they could cover for their daughter as well as ready to fight off anyone who dared to attack their beloved husband. Using this, Naruto created a Kage Bushin and brought Riri away, though this didn't went unnoticed by a silver hair jounin.
Asuma then gave Naruto a scroll with the leaf symbol on it. Naruto open it and started to read.
"I, Namikaze Minato,the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, do hereby forgive my son, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto and restore his rank as a shinobi of the leaf as well as the toad summoning contract. Also he is to report immediately to restart his duties to the village."
Below the letter was the signature of the Hokage, the elders and the council, both civilian and clan heads. For his part Naruto was beyond furious, the letter demanded his return as if he was to obey them after what they had done. Before he could tear the scroll apart, he was stopped abruptly by his mind
'Wait a sec... Yondaime Hokage?! Wasn't he dead ?! 'My son' ?!... So they intend to use a dead legend to trick me going back to the that hellhole and then tell me that this scroll is worthless since the one signing it was dead and there is no proof to prove I'm, heh?... So they still think I'm just some fool after what they had done to me?! I think not!'
As some members of the retrieval team thought that Naruto would accept, he suddenly spoke "Not interested" and simply tore the scroll apart. This quickly caused an uproar in the Konoha team
"What do you mean 'not interested' ?" said Iruka before the roll of the previous scroll was thrown at his face by Naruto, which caused him a bloody nose.
"I mean exactly what I said, Umino." Said Naruto coldly "I will not come back to that hellhole! And do all of you think I am a fool to believe what was written in this scroll? I am the son of the Yondaime Hokage?! Pff! What a joke!"
"But it's true!" cried Kushina which shocked Naruto as well as Tohka and Kurumi to their core "Your REAL name is Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto! You're our youngest son and Minato-kun is your tou-san!"
"That's right, otouto-kun! Please come back to us!" said Akane as Akemi nodded her head
All those words... they sounded so simple... yet they carried as much weight as every single history event in this world combined
Naruto's first reaction after getting over his shock was denial.
Who the hell were this woman and those twin? He had always been an orphan. He had had no one in his life. No father, no mother, no sibling, no relative. How could a woman and two girl just jump out from nowhere and introduce themselves as his family?
And then realization hit him. Their chakra signatures that he had sensed earlier were similar to his chakra signature, the youki similar to Yoko's youki inside the twin girls as well as traces of youki inside the redhead woman... Those were the solid proof that proved the three redhead were his family... He had family! He had tou-san, kaa-san and sibblings! The joy to find the family that he had been born engulfed his mind!
But then realization and the joy quickly turned into anger.
If his family was still alive... then where had they been in all those years?! And most important, why! If he was their son then why had his twin sisters had a happy life with their family while he had had to live in an orphanage, where he had been constantly abused in his childhood before that orphanage had kicked him out, forcing him living on the street and living by the scraps coming from garbage cans in the first years of his life while trying to survive the beating from those people of that hellhole?!
And then his anger turned to his kitsune wife, Tendou Yoko
Judging from the very small traces of youki resided in Kushina, Naruto could guess that this woman had been the previous host, which would explain the whisker-liked marks that used to be on his cheeks since it would be the influence of Yoko when he had been in this... this woman's womb... which meaned his wife KNEW who were his parents!
WHY!
Why hadn't she told him?!
Hadn't they sworn together never keep any secret between each other?
Before his anger could go further, a memory suddenly struck his mind full force as he reminisced about a short conversation between them a year after his obaa-chan's death
[Flashback]
'Ne, Yoko-chan. Do you mind telling me who is your previous host before you was extracted by Madara-teme?' asked Naruto mentally as he went through some stances of his taijutsu
'... Is it necessary, Naruto-kun?' came the reply of Yoko inside his mind
'Well, it's just my curiousity' shrugged Naruto 'If you're not okay with it then you don't have to tell me, Yoko-chan'
'I'm sorry, Naruto-kun but... it just... I don't want too give you any false hope... I don't expect you will forgive me but please... please understand for me...' said Yoko with a strange choking voice and then cut off the mental link despite Naruto's protest
[Flashback end]
At that time, he hadn't understood why his wife had said about not wanting to give him a false hope... but now he finally understood as a small tear rolled on his face and his anger toward Yoko slowly dissipated, though his anger toward his family kept going up...
Surpressing his anger, Naruto asked coldly that made Kushina flinched
"If you are my family then pray tell, where have you been? Why was I thrown away? Why did those two who calls themselves my older sisters have a happy life with a loving family while I had to live on the streets, fighting to survive another day in my life without knowing that my family in fact was still alive?! ANSWER ME NOW!"
"Please, you have to understand, Naruto-kun! We have to leave the village in order to train Akane-chan and Akemi-chan in secret since your sisters are the ones who hold the chakra of the Kyuubi so they need training. Because at that time, Konoha was still weak so Minato decided to left you at the village so that the enemies would think twice before attacking Konoha due to your status as a Jinchuriki since you holds the soul of Kyuubi! Minato said it was for the best of everyone, for the greater good!"
Although the curiousity part of his mind was wondering how could they separated the chakra of Yoko and sealed inside his supposed sisters while he received the soul, the final words quickly stopped it.
'...It was for the best of everyone... for the greater good...'
Those words.
Just only those simple words.
But to Naruto, those five simple words was like the fuel added to the fire of his anger
They had left him at the mercy of those villagers !
They had left him behind, without leaving anything to inform him about their existence!
In other words, they had pratically abandoned him and now they found him, telling him that what they had done was for the best of everyone as well as the greater good!
"Gehhe... He... Ha... Haa Haa Ha Haa Ha Ha Ha Haaa!"
A hollow laugh was let out from Naruto as it sent chills to everyone's spines as they shuddered at the malice in the laugh...
"Ohohoho... Such laugh... it makes me shiver in pleasure..."
... well, everyone except Kurumi who was having a huge blush on her face while Tohka was looking at her with a flat look
"How ironic. My supposed dear sisters received empty cages while I received the whole burden..." said Naruto in his demonic voice as his eyes turned crimson "And why don't you just stay at that hellhole? Training in secret? There are more than hundred ways to train in secret without leaving that hellhole or leaving me behind! Making enemies think twice before attacking? Please, just the information the Yondaime was still alive was more than enough to do that! Even if there are acceptable reasons for what you did, then why didn't you at least leave something, like a letter perhap, to inform me about your existance? For the best of everyone and for the greater good? Oh, yes. But clearly... I am not one of those 'everyone'... And by the way, my name is Tendou Naruto now, not Namikaze or Uzumaki. We may have the same blood but we are and will never be a family! After all, what kind of parents decided to leave behind one of their child while there was no need to do that?"
"Naru-kun... But... I... I'm your... mother..." said Kushina hopelessly as she fell on her knees and started sobbing uncontrolablyafter hearing what her flesh and blood had said and she couldn't deny what Naruto had said. The feeling of being denied by her own child... It felt like hundreds knives were shoved into her chest and as heart felt like it was broken into hundred pieces and she couldn't take it!
"A mother that acted exactly like a fangirl." spat Naruto venomously "Save your breath because in my eyes, you are such a failure of a mother"
"That's enough Naruto! Minato and Kushina are really sorry for what they had done" said Jiraiya as he tried to reason with his former student "At least you should give them a chance to make it up for you. If you don't know how to forgive, you will fall into the circle of hatred!"
Sneering at the silver hair super pervert, Naruto said coldly
"Please, not forgive doesn't mean I will fall into that pitiful circle created by that Madara-teme. Make it up for their mistake? Oh please, what can they offer to make up for what I had endured? Because I'm very sure that NOTHING can make up for what I had endured! "
Suddenly Naruto stopped as his feet no longer responded to his will. He turned his head to see Shikamaru in his family's Shadow Possession Jutsu. "Sorry Naruto but you don't have a choice. If necessary, we will have to use force" said Shikamaru firmly.
"Since when did I have a choice in my life when it involves Konoha? I had to suffer since day one because of the decisions that people like you made. The moment I was out of Konoha I could finally take control of my life, and if you think I am just going to let you take me back to that hell, you are mistaken." Chuckled Naruto in a dark voice
Before anyone could react, from Shikamaru's shadow emerged a black clad ninja who punched him in the gut sending him back into Ino's arms, the black ninja then melted into shadows again.
"What was that?" asked Kurenai as chakra chains shot out from Akane and Akemi toward Naruto but before they could reach the blond, Tohka stepped in front of Naruto and created a barrier which stopped the chains dead in its track
"Don't you dare think about hurting our Naruto-kun" said Tohka darkly as both Tohka and Kurumi were engulfed in blinding light. When the light died down, Tohka now was clad in a dress with a black, cream, and pink color scheme and a set of purple-and-cream plated armor which adorned her shoulders and waist; the dress was open at the back and made up into a black corset which exposed some of her cleavage and a two-layered, knee-length skirt which had a pink-to-white gradient. At the same time, Kurumi now was clad in a dress that was made out of crimson and black frills, giving her the appearance of an elegant Gothic lolita with uneven twintails and revealed her left eyes that looked like gold inorganic clock face with the clock's hand moved in a counter-clockwise direction; on her head was a big crimson net bow holding her hair and she also wore a crimson and black collar on her neck as well as a pair of black pantyhose. With a snap of Kurumi's finger and a tap of Tohka's feet on the ground, Kurumi's musket appeared in its owner's hand while a throne appeared behind Tohka and she drew her broadsword from it.
"Give us back our otouto!" yelled Akemi angrily as both her and Akane stepped up in front of Tohka and Kurumi
"In your dream, bitches!" smirked Kurumi as a giant clock appeared behind her back. Pointing her pistol and musket into 8 o'clock position as black smoke slowly went into the pistol, Kurumi pointed the pistol at her chin and pulled the trigger
"Eight Bullet: Het!"
[Back with Naruto]
As the fight between his wives and Akane and Akemi continued,
Naruto suddenly turned around just in time to catch one of Sakura's chakra enhanced punched.
"Come with us peacefully Naruto-baka" she said but Naruto just raised his fist and in a quick movement punched Sakura in the face sending her back. Before she could react Naruto appeared in front of her and punched her in her stomach. Everyone was shocked at the action since Naruto never dared to strike her before.
" Just shut up, banshee" said Naruto as he threw the girl over to the retrieval team.
Naruto suddenly ducked as a kick passed over him. "What you did to Sakura-chan is most unyouthful," said Lee.
"So, you still have a crush on her, bushy-brow? Pfff, it doesn't matter, you can fuck her all you want, just leave me alone" Said Naruto as Lee got into a familiar stance. "Damn it, why are you so persistent?"
"Naruto, Konoha is your home, why do you call it hell?" asked Lee
"Oh I don't know, maybe because since I was born people called for my death. Mobs would gather to beat me to an inch of my life. I was poisoned, stabbed and used as a test subject for your Jutsu. I was only four fucking years old! I won't become your stress reliever again," he said.
Naruto moved his arm back and in a swift motion brought it to his front, from his sleeve a single kunai went straight to Lee. He tried to evade it but the kunai was faster, it hit him on his shoulder causing him to grunt in pain. As Lee tried to remove the kunai, he then noticed that the kunai was attached to a chain that went all way back to Naruto's sleeve.
"GET OVER HERE!" shout Naruto as Lee was pulled into Naruto's direction only to receive an uppercut in the jaw, which sent him flying only to be caught by his teammates. Naruto's small victory over eyebrow freak was short lived as Asuma started attacking him with his knives, but Naruto had experience against this type of opponents. He quickly disarmed him and got him in a headlock and started choking him only for moment later to be set free by his students.
"We won't let you harm Asuma sensei, even if it is you Naruto!" screamed Chouji.
"Please Naruto stop this," said Ino.
"You should be the ones who need to stop, as for your sensei he should feel grateful" said Naruto and said comment caused everyone to look at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?" said Yamato.
"I wouldn't expect those who have never sacrificed anything to understand" Naruto said.
"Sacrifice, what about the sacrifice of my clan, the strongest clan of Konoha and my family, dobe? " yelled Sasuke.
"Don't act so mighty, duck-butt. After what happened, you were treated as Konoha's little prince even after your betrayal, and when I dragged your sorry ass back to that hellhole, I received banishment as my payment " Naruto fired back in a cold tone that sent chills down Konoha team's spines
Once again Naruto had to dodge a technique from one of Konoha team's members, Sai had used some ink lions to try and capture the blond. Naruto for his part did a fast movement bringing both of his hands up, at the same time a burts of fire came from below the lions and turned them back into ink
"Since when can Naruto use Katon jutsu?" asked Kiba.
"Wouldn't you like to know" he said while appearing behind Kiba and sending him flying with one of his kicks. Naruto then heard the heavy stomps of Chouji's feet coming from his right. For a brief moment, Naruto saw that Chouji had used Partial Expansion on his right fist. When the fist came down, Naruto had seemed to burst into smoke. At first Chouji thought Naruto had used his signature Shadow Clone Jutsu but that was proven wrong when the smoke quickly drifted towards him and reformed into Naruto with his right fist pulled back. Before Chouji could react, Naruto slammed his fist into the Akimichi's lips, sending him crashing into the wall of building.
Sensing another presence coming behind him, Naruto quickly chanted in his mind 'Time Alter: Double Accel!', just in time to dodged Hinata's Jyuuken. Using his brief burst of speed, Naruto grapped her ankle and threw her at her sensei, Yuhi Kurenai and knocked both of them out cold. Suddenly, Naruto caught the distinct sound of several chirping birds and he knew instantly what it meant, seeing as he had been impaled two times by that jutsu. Quickly forming a rasengan that had a strange color, Naruto mentally chanted
'Time Alter: Triple Accel!'
Before Sasuke could react, Naruto stepped out of his attack path in an amazing speed as the rasengan was viciously shoved into his stomach and ice slowly covered the arrogant Uchiha from head to toe. Leaning backward to dodge a powerful punch coming from Maito Gai, Naruto grapped Sasuke by hair and threw him at Neji, Tenten and Shino who were trying to land a sneaking attack on the blond. Before Jiraiya could finish his hand signs, Naruto appeared right in front of him and kicked the side of the pervert's head, making him stumbled. Grapping the collar of Jiraiya's hakama, Naruto threw him at Iruka which made them crashed into a post near there.
"Wait a sec! How can that baka use Hyouton?!" shrieked Sakura after recovering from her shock
Despite the light-head feeling, Naruto shook it off as he cracked his knuckles
"Now, who's next?"
[Back with Tohka and Kurumi vs Akane and Akemi]
"Katon: Karyū Endan!" shouted Akane as a large dragon-liked bullet fire shot out but with a powerful swing of her broadsword, Tohka managed to knock the fireball back at the one-third jinchuriki which forced Akane to jumped out of the fire's way to dodge. Though this made Akane became opened and she received an energy beam at her back. Both Akane and Akemi now had chakra shrouds and chakra tails on them, a proof that they were using Yoko's chakra but that only helped them to fight evenly with Tohka and Kurumi. Somehow, Akane had a feeling that those two bitches were holding back and that thought scared her a little
"Come on! Is that all you got?" asked Tohka as she pointed her broadsword at Akane. In the inside, Tohka mentally thanked Kurumi for using First Bullet: Aleph on her, which granted her temporarily super speed, helping her outmatched Akane's enhanced speed. If only Akane and Akemi could use Hirashin well enough... Letting out a loud curse, Akane created a rasengan in her palm and dashed at Tohka, who just looked at her inpassively as her barrier once again came to life and stopped Akane's rasengan and made the chakra sphere slowly dissipated. Not letting Akane have time to recover, Tohka bashed Akane's head with the flat side of her broadsword making Akane crashed into a nearby wall.
At the same time, Akemi was trying (and failing) to fight against a horde of Kurumi clones with her ninjato and jutsu, on her body were many injuries that were slowly healing
"Doton: Doryūheki!" cried Akemi desperately as a mud wall appeared in front of her and blocked all the clones's bullets
"You're opened, bitch!" smirked Kurumi psychotically who suddenly appeared next to Akemi and fire three shots at her ribcage, forcing Akemi to bend her body to the right to dodge only to receive a kick in the chest from Kurumi. Before Kurumi could take advantage, a large dragon-liked fire flew toward her forcing Kurumi to jump back next to Tohka to find an enraged Kushina who had snapped out of her state was standing in front of them as Akane was helping Akemi to stand up
"Oh, look liked our so-called-mother-in-law decided to join our 'date', Tohka-chan" said Kurumi as her clock Zafkiel and Tohka's throne Sandalphon appeared once again. "Should we take it up a notch?"
"Don't you worry about your time?" asked Tohka as she raised her broadsword and slashed down the throne and her strongest weapon, Halvanhelev, a massive single-edged zanbatō-like sword materialized in her hands
"Oh, no worry. I still have a few thousand years to spare thanks to Ukitsu and a gift of 'a friend' of our husband" said Kurumi with a sadistic smile that made Kushina, Akane and Akemi shuddered, though Kushina realized something
"What do you mean by 'mother-in-law'?" growled Kushina in a dangerous tone
"You have no need to care about that, bitch" said Kurumi "Now, shall we continue our 'date'?"
[Back with Naruto]
'Damn, I'm exhausted now. That fight with Nagi really cost me a large amount of stamina' cursed Naruto mentally as his vision slowly became blurry but he tried to shrugged it off as he eyed Konoha team that he had just used to sweep the ground. Suddenly, an arlarm rang in his mind 'Wait a sec! Where is that scarecrow Kakashi?'
Speaking of the devil...
"That's enough Naruto. Come with us or else..." said Kakashi as he was holding Riri with a kunai near her neck.
"Tou-san! Tohka-kaa-san! Kurumi-kaa-san!" cried Riri with tears in her eyes as everyone's eyes in Konoha team, especially Kushina, widened. This little girl was her son's daughter! She was a grandmother now! But the feeling of joy had engulfed her was quickly replaced by sadness. Just what had she missed in her son's life?
And then it clicked in her mind as she took in what her grandchild had said.
"No way... " whispered Kushina as she looked at Tohka and Kurumi (especially Tohka) who now stood on either side of Naruto while glaring at Kakashi with a murderous gaze. Her grandchild had called those two 'Tohka-kaa-san' and 'Kurumi-kaa-san', which meaned both both of them were her son's wives and those two wives had just pushed her and her daughters to their limit with their fight! In the group, Hinata was glaring at Tohka hatefully as her normal pupiless eyes now had a small red dot in the middle of each eyes, though no one seemed to noticed that.
"Let her go, Hatake! She hasn't got anything to do with this!" growled Naruto as Tohka and Kurumi looked like they were ready to castrate the silver hair jounin .
"Only if you swear to come with us peacefully" said Kakashi firmly as the kunai was kept near Riri's neck while at the same time, Kushina made a mental note to give Kakashi a small 'lesson' for pointing a kunai at her grandchild's neck in spite of knowing that the silver hair jounin didn't mean any harm to the little girl. No one could threaten her family's members by any means and then went unpunished!
Gnashing his teeth nastily as his fists clenched to the point that his knuckles slowly became white, Naruto let out a loud growl as he looked at his former sensei hatefully. He was really exhausted now but the safety of his daughter were more important. Riri might not have any of his blood in her vein but to Naruto, she was and would always be his daughter no matter what
'It seems I have no choice' thought Naruto as an unnoticeable dark chuckle escaped his lips.
[At the hot springs, a few minutes earlier]
"Is there something wrong, Yoko?" asked Kikyou as she looked at the kitsune who had been very silent recently since their big family started traveling to Jingzhou
"..."
"Yoko!" said Kikyou again with a tap on Yoko's shoulder, snapping said kitsune out of her thought
"...Ah! Yes. Is there something wrong, Kikyou?" said Yoko
"It's you" said Sui as she looked into Yoko's eyes "Why are you so silent recently?"
"... Can you please promise that Naruto will heard nothing about this?" asked Yoko pleadingly after a long silence which surprised everyone
"Rinrin's lips are sealed so don't worry, Yoko-nee-chan!" said Rinrin in her usual enthusiasitic voice, which earned her a smack on her head "Ow! What was that for, Aisha-nee-chan?"
Ignoring the cried from the hyperactive redhead, Aisha turned back to Yoko and said in a serious voice
"On the name of Kan'u Un..."
"Okay, you don't have to give an oath like that, Aisha. A promise is enough" chuckled Yoko humorlessly
"We promise, Yoko" said Shirayuki in a little too formal tone as all other persson nodded their heads in agreement
" *sigh*... It is about the identity of Naruto-kun's parents..." said Yoko as she dropped the bombshell "His mother's name is Namikaze-Uzumaki Kushina who was also my previous host. His father's name is Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage and the one who sealed me inside Naruto. And I'm pretty sure that he has two other sibblings, though I don't know their names."
"Awawa?!" came the reaction from Hinari
"Hawawa?!" came the reaction from Shuri
"Onii-chan's father is the one who put the burden onto his own son?" asked Tanpopo in shock "How could he do that?"
"Actually it was understandable, Tanpopo" said Hinari thoughfully "As a leader, he might couldn't ask other people to give him a child to put a burden onto him or her, especially that it was at the desperated moment"
"How do you know that Naruto has sibblings?" asked Sei skeptically
"I sensed them when they were still in my former host's womb" said Yoko in a matter-of-fact way
"But I don't understand. Why would you want to keep this information away from Naruto-kun? Our husband deserves to know it" asked Touka questionably as Yoko's eyes was overshadowed by her bang
"... I... I don't want to give him a false hope..." said Yoko in a strange voice
"False hope?" said everyone in confusion
"... Naruto-kun always believes that he was just an orphan that the Yondaime Hokage randomly chose to seal me in when he was a baby... Naruto-kun doesn't know that he is the Yondaime's son... and the most important reason for why I can't tell him because... You can call it is my intuition... because I have a feeling that his family is still alive... somewhere out there in the Elemental Nations..."
This brought the female group another shock as Ayase nodded her head in understanding
"I understand why you said you didn't want to give our Naruto-kun a false hope now, Yoko. You're afraid that your feeling is wrong right?"
"Yes" said Yoko as tears started gathering at her eyelids "And what if my feeling is true? It means that his family had literally abandoned our husband and left him behind at the mercy of those people! Being banished by that hellhole is one thing, but being abandoned by the ones who gave him his live is an entirely matter! I don't want Naruto-kun walks in the path of revenge because it will only hurt him and throw him into madness! I... I don't want... my Naruto-kun to change... And I don't ex... expect him to f... forgive me... after hiding... thi... this in... information but... I... I... "
And it was all Yoko managed to say as she started crying uncontrolably as Shirayuki , Shion and Inori hugged the kitsune tightly in order to provide the comfort she needed
"It's okay, Yoko. It's okay. Just cry all you want and let it go" said Shion in a soothing voice as the sobbing sound slowly died down
"Thank you Shirayuki, Shion and Inori" said Yoko as she wiped her tears away
"We are family, aren't we? We look after each other. That's what Naruto-kun said" said Inori as a cute smile appeared on her face
"You know, for some reasons, no matter what we talk, it will slowly come to our dear husband..." said Yoko with a small dry chuckle as everyone else joined the laugh. After all, how could they deny that?
Suddenly, Shion stiffed and then stood up from the spring in a sudden motion, which confused everyone.
"Is something wrong Shion?" asked Kikyo while drinking some sake.
"Something happened to Riri" Shion said firmly
"How do you know" asked Tanpopo.
"It's a mother's instinct" Shion answered again.
"But she is with Onii-san and Tohka-nee-chan and Kurumi-nee-chan" said Rinrin
"I'm afraid that something also happed to them" insisted Shion as all of the quickly got out of the hot spring
[Back with Naruto]
"Riri-chan, I want you to close your eyes and not open until Tohka-kaa-san or Kurumi-kaa-san tell you to open. I promise that everything will be okay. Can you do that for me?" asked Naruto gently as Kakashi and everyone else in Konoha team was quickly on guard
"Will you be okay, tou-san?" asked Riri with teary eyes
"Yes, yes I will" said Naruto with a gentle smile that in other situation, any female looked at that smile would become a blushing mess. With a nod, Riri closed her eyes as tight as she could
Turning his head to his wives, Naruto said in a quiet tone enough to be heard by Tohka and Kurumi yet his tone left no room for any argument
"Tohka-hime, Kurumi-chan, when Riri-chan is free, I want both of you bring her to Reiha-chan's palace as fast as possible. Do not worry about me. I will catch up later. No matter what, Riri-chan must be safe!"
Turning back to the Konoha group, Naruto slowly stood in his stance, his right arm slowly raised up and concealed the lower part of his face while his left fist was on the left side of his waist
"My obaa-chan said: 'Everyone walks their own path, but every path starts from the path of Heaven' " this made Jiraiya's eyes widen as what Naruto had just said was a part of the new prophecy "My name is Tendou Naruto and I am a man who walks the path of Heaven!"
As the Konoha group was still in shock, Naruto whispered the name of his final trump card
"Clock Up"
Before the eyes of Konoha team, Naruto literally vanished!
Suddenly, Kakashi's hold onto Riri was lost as he was sent crashed through a nearby wall, knocking him out cold. Immediately, Tohka caught Riri in her arms as she along with Kurumi left the scene. Before Shikamaru could give chase, he was sent back and crashed into Shino who was releasing his bugs and both of them were down for the count. As Neji had activated his Byakugan and tried to looked for the chakra signature of Naruto only to found Kiba crashed into him while Akamaru crashed into Hana's triplet dogs as said owner's head was slammed into the post near there . Before any of them could recover from the shock, Sakura's head was slammed into the duck-butt hair Sasuke and both of them crashed into the ground and created a large crater. Before Yamato and Jiraiya could finish their hand signs, their heads slammed into each other, knocking them unconcious. As Might Gai opened his first gate why Chouji used his Partial Expansion jutsu on himself again, they were sent to the sky before fell head first onto the ground, with Chouji fell right onto Tenten and knocked her out cold before she could let her barrage of weapons out. At that moment, Kushina, Akane and Akemi released all of their chakra chains around them in an attempt to create a web so that they could detect the blond if he came to contact with one of their chains, only to found Akane somehow crashed into Akemi and Kushina, making all three of the stumbled on the chains and stucked at there. Iruka and Anko never knew what had happenned as both of them were sent crashed into each other while Sai flew toward Asuma before he could finished his jutsu.
All of this happened in just merely FIVE seconds!
'Clock Over'
'Damn it, my time's up' cursed Naruto loudly as his vision became more and more blurry while he coughed out some blood which was mixed with with his saliva after appeared again in front of Konoha group, which mostly had been knocked out cold with the exception of Kushina, Akane and Akemi who were now free from their chains. When Akane and Akemi came close to him, Akane crouched down and hugged him while whispering quietly in a seductive manner
"My, how brutal you are, otouto-kun! But now please come with us and forget those two wenches. Onee-chan promise that onee-chan will make you feel so much better..."
"Yeesss, otouto-kun... Come with uss so that you can tame your two naughty onee-chan..." whispered Akemi huskily as she also joined the hug
"Ne... nev... er..." said Naruto in a raspy voice as he tried his hardest to hold onto his concious, which was slowly slipping out of his grasp
"My, so cold, but I like that" whispered Akane huskily as she took out a chakra surpressing seal. But before the seal was put onto Naruto
*CRASH*
A fist made contact with Akane's face and sent her flying. Before Akemi could react, she was also sent flying by another punch in her stomach and crashed into a slowly awakening Jiraiya, knocking the super pervert out cold... again. Immediately, Kushina's chakra chains shot out and the necomer jumped out of its path but her wrists was tied by the chakra chain. But with what could be described as monstrous strength, the newcomer just held onto the chain and forcefully pulled the chain, which made Kushina flew toward the newcomer to receive an uppercut that nearly broke her jaw along with a kick that sent her flying to the unconcious group of Konoha.
Feeling himself was lifted in bridal style, Naruto tried to clear his blurry vision to see that the person who saved him was a girl with an emotionless yet cute face, short red hair with two long ahoge, crimson eyes, tanned skin, clad in a black and white top with one sleeve was black while the other was white.
"...R... Ren-chan..." muttered Naruto tiredly before he completely fell into the unconciousness.
"... Don't worry... Naruto-sama... I am here for you..." said the girl quietly before she quickly left while holding Naruto bridal style.
[On the rooftop]
Unbeknown to all the people, a person had been sitting on the rooftop of a house on the street where the fight broke out and had watched everything with interest.
"Hm... It seems I don't have to intervene anymore..." muttered the person as a strange noise came out from his black pants. Taking out a strange rectangle equipment, he brought it to his ear
"Moshi moshi... What?... Aoko-chan is angry?... Fine... I will be back... Just open a way for me..."
As the person put away his device, a dull grey veil-liked barrier appeared behind him and the person stepped into it but not before muttering quietly
"Good luck, my friend. You're gonna need it..."
And then the barrier disappeared.

Author's muse: I hope you guys like the twist I add compare to Haseo55's version but to be honest, I'm still not satisfied with the way I wrote this chapter, especially the fighting scene, despite that I had put all of my best in writing. And sometimes I find it's quite funny that I have trouble in remembering the usual name of Koihime's characters but I have no trouble in remembering their secret/true names even though the secret/true names aren't used much in Visual Novel, anime or even fanfics. And by the way, what's the problem with Shion (Kouchuu Kanshou) pairing with the protagonist anyway? All the crossover fics I have read so far had her pairing with a secondary character or no pairing for her (Maybe there are fics have her pairing with the protagonist but I haven't read... at least I hope so). Even in the original version of this story written by Haseo55, Shion weren't in Naruto's harem. Having Riri call the protagonist 'tou-san' or 'papa' is much funnier (at least it is my opinion, no offense to anyone who disagrees with my opinion)!
Okay, That's all for now. See you guys later in the next update!
