Chapter 1-Bold Entrance

Former Sekirei # 07Akitsu, now called the "Broken Sekirei", sat on a bench on a cold cloudless night with the full moon in the sky shining over Shinto Teito. At the moment, Akitsu was wearing only a lab coat with a hint of blood on it, though the blood itself was not her own. It was her former Adjustor, who was actually the one responsible for her being called the "Broken Sekirei", or "Scrapped Number" in the first place.

Why was she called the "Broken Sekirei" or "Scrapped Number" you may ask?

Answer: She couldn't be winged by an Ashikabi. Her Ashikabi. Her destined one. The man or possibly woman she was meant to be with for the end of their lives.

Now that person was out of her reach. Denied because someone decided they knew better then others and did something they weren't suppose to do. Her former Adjustor at M.B.I. would have been punished by his stupidity if not for the fact Akitsu in a moment of blind anger (which was rare for her) at being denied an Ashikabi, had speared the Adjustor to the wall of her room with multiple shards of ice.

Hence the slightly noticeable blood stain on the lab coat she was wearing on her naked body.

Akitsu had proceeded to break free from the labs at M.B.I. thanks to the growing chaos already being started by two other Sekirei, who decided to flee from the labs too. The difference was Akitsu went unnoticed because her stealth and silence when moving was uncanny. With her own perception to detail of her surroundings, the ice Sekirei was able to easily bypass all of the guards while they chased down the other two Sekirei they felt were more important.

Possibly because those two Sekirei could still be winged and a "Broken Sekirei" has little to no value in Minaka's eyes unless he was feeling the game he planned with the other Sekirei needed to be spiced up a bit.

Whatever the case, Akitsu didn't care for the Sekirei Plan the head of M.B.I. was in the stages of unleashing on Shinto Teito. All Akitsu wanted at this moment was to curl up into a ball and die while she still had the freedom to do so before the company decided to track her down with its private army to be taken away somewhere to experiment on her for future research.

And yet, Akitsu felt a lingering of something keeping such a thought from completely taking hold in the desire to waste away on this bench. As with every Sekirei, the desire to find the Ashikabi of their dreams still lingered, broken or not, and even now Akitsu felt the desire to find one still burning within her. But how could she even find one? Who would want her? She was broken! Unable to find an Ashikabi. Her Ashikabi. Unable to react to an Ashikabi. Any Ashikabi for that matter. So why should she try? Why was she still feeling the need to find one when it was clear she couldn't have one?!

Akitsu sadly didn't have an answer to her own question. All she knew was sooner or later something was going to happen when word got out of her existence and one of the many Ashikabis in Shinto Teito went looking for her to claim as their own. Whether they would want ice Sekirei didn't matter since Akitsu figured they would take her in for a time into their home. The Ashikabi would see what she could do and use the woman for whatever he or she wanted before kicking the "Broken Sekirei" out into the street for someone else to find and use before the process repeated itself again.

That's what she thought anyway.

Gazing upward to the moon, Akitsu began to think about her situation more, and how to possibly find an Ashikabi who wouldn't throw her away. Who would let her stay with him or her. Who would let her be his or her Sekirei. To fight for him or her in the Sekirei Plan if he or she wished to participate in it when the time came to fight.

But how? How could she find her Ashikabi in her broken state?

Narrowing her eyes slightly in concentration, Akitsu began to think about what was said about her situation by the Adjustors who talked about it outside her room. From what she had overheard from their whispers, the initial reaction she would get from being near her Ashikabi was broken. The winging she had done to herself had essentially blocked the entire connection process for Akitsu in terms of an Ashikabi winging her.

Hence the seal on her forehead stating as much to all who saw it.

However, the Ice Sekirei realized that the Adjustors had never said anything about Akitsu trying to create the connection with an Ashikabi herself. Was it possible she could cause the reaction herself with an Ashikabi rather then the way it was normally done for her other sisters? Could she actually reach out with her own power to find the Ashikabi she was meant to have and have her official Ashikabi? Even on an unofficial level?

Feeling a new sense of determination, if only for this brief moment, Akitsu focused on the Moon above her, and began to formulate a plan of action. A plan she doubted would work given it seemed ridiculous if anyone else were to hear it, but desperation overrode any sense of smarts at this point, and Akitsu was very desperate at this point. If this plan didn't work, Akitsu didn't know what her mentality would be afterwards, and decided she would cross that bridge when standing in front of it.

Knowing how moonlight was actually sunlight reflected off the Moon down to the Earth harmlessly like a mirror, Akitsu decided to use that same principle with her Tama. The only difference however, was she was going to use the principle in reverse in terms of projecting her Tama's power into the Moon, and reflecting it down upon Shinto Teito. If she did it correctly, which Akitsu hoped she would, the Ashikabi that would have made her have a reaction would have one of his own, and seek her out rather then the other way around.

'Please...let this work. Please reveal yourself to me...my Ashikabi-sama!' thought Akitsu with her eyes closed before she focused on her Tama, her very core which made up the life force of a Sekirei, and shot it toward the full Moon. All her hopes were now riding on something happening for this course of action.

After a few seconds went by with only silence following her actions, Akitsu opened her eyes to stare up at the Moon, waiting for something, anything to happen, and waited for the end result to occur. But as the seconds went by, Akitsu's hope slowly began to fade, as she saw the Moon still shining brightly above her, and seemingly unaffected by her actions in the attempt to find her destined one.

She had failed.

With her failure clear as the night sky itself, Akitsu slowly slumped her head down, and resisted the urge to cry at the anguish of the plan failing. She suspected it would fail. She wouldn't deny it. But at the same time, Akitsu had put all of her hope into her idea, and hoped beyond all hope the energy from her Tama would bounce off the Moon to make her Ashikabi react. Granted, Akitsu didn't expect him to suddenly appear out of thin air, but shouldn't she have felt something when the energy from her Tama bounced off the Moon, and down into Shinto Teito? To feel the connection being made between her and the person who would have been her Ashikabi had she not been broken?

Was she destined to be forever broken? To never find an Ashikabi?

It was then Akitsu felt a loud pulse resonated from above her. The pulse was loud. It was powerful. It was massive beyond anything Akitsu had ever felt before today. Looking up, Akitsu gasped at the sight of the Moon, it seemed to shine brighter, the grayish marks that scarred its surface were gone! Smooth out. As if they were never there in the first place.

And the power! Even the infamous "Black Sekirei" and "Hound of M.B.I." Karasuba was nothing when compared to this slowly emerging power. With each passing second Akitsu witnessed this even transpire, the pulse from the Moon got louder, became more powerful with each new beat, and beat itself was moving in rhythm to her own Tama. It made the ice Sekirei's eyes widen in shock and awe while wondering how this was happening? Why was the Moon pulsing from her actions? Was the Moon actually her...Ashikabi? No! That was absurd! The Moon was not a sentient being. It was a circular chunk of rock, which reflected the light of the Sun, and influenced the water of the planet she was on.

It wasn't alive...was it?

Her thoughts on the matter were soon interrupted when the Moon began to shine brightly as if it were the Sun itself, and shot an intense beam of energy...straight down toward her. Instinctively, Akitsu closed her eyes, flinching away from the blast of energy that was going to consume her, and most likely a good chunk of the surrounding area of the park. She could have tried to run, but Akitsu saw the beam was massive in its overall radius, and no amount of running would have done the ice Sekirei any good.

All Akitsu could do was wait for the end that she had created for herself.

When the beam hit, Akitsu's initial reaction was the wince, and expect the energy to bring about instant pain followed by instant death. She could feel it hit her body, feel it hit the ground, and was all around her like a tempest. Like a violent storm that kicked up dirt, wind, and an invisible pressure she couldn't even begin to comprehend as it hit her dead on.

When it was over, Akitsu heard only silence, and for a moment the ice Sekirei thought she was dead. She was in some form of dark limbo meant just for her due to being broken and unable to be winged by an Ashikabi. A fitting punishment to be sure since she had just most likely killed herself and destroyed a good chunk of Shinto Teito in the process from the unexpected results of her actions.

Only to realize seconds later that her eyes were closed. She had been too afraid to open them to see what had become of herself. So daring to see what fate had befallen her life in death following the unexpected suicidal move to find an Ashikabi, Akitsu opened hers eyes one at a time, and looked around to see...darkness.

Yep! She was in a dark limbo. A place where she would exist forever in loneliness for all time. A place designed just for her and her alone.

Before she could contemplate her situation further, Akitsu heard a loud rumbling growl echoing around her, and it instantly made the ice Sekirei stiffen in fear. What else was here? What else could be here? This was her abyss. Her purgatory. Her Hell. Why was there some kind of (clearly large) animal in this place?

Turning around, Akitsu saw only darkness with no sense, or shape of anything around her in the slightest revealing itself. At first, Akitsu thought it was her mind playing tricks on her, or maybe her stomach growling since she had not eaten anything since escaping the M.B.I. labs. Of course, she shot the latter down since death kind of made the need for food pointless, and Akitsu knew it wasn't her stomach that made the growling noise.

"Who dares stand before me? Who dares call upon me? Who dares to disturbed my slumber?" rumbled a deep voice unlike anything Akitsu had ever heard before in her life.

"Ah...who is there?" asked Akitsu nervously while looking around for the voice and was greeted with a slightly amused chuckle.

"I asked you my question first. Surely, the world has not become so lost in itself that introductions are nonexistent," remarked the voice while Akitsu still couldn't pinpoint the location of the entity speaking to her.

"Ah...I am Sekirei #07 Akitsu: The Ice Sekirei," replied the ice Sekirei while feeling a combination of terror and awe that this was happening to her.

"Akitsu? Ice Sekirei? Hmm...interesting. Very interesting," remarked the voice while finding it interesting that Akitsu was still unable to find him in the darkness.

"Ah...What is your name? Where are you?" asked Akitsu while feeling her heart beating faster with each passing second.

"My name? My name. Its been so long. I had almost forgotten it. My name is...Naruto. And as to where I am...just look up!" replied Naruto with a hint of amusement in his deep tone.

"Ah...up?" asked Akitsu before she looked up and her eyes widened in surprise.

Staring down at her was a single eye. An eye with a lavender tint to it that seemed to gaze into Akitsu's very soul. But what was even more shocking, if that were even possible, was another eye, this one red with three tomoes, and revealing itself slightly lower then the first. If that wasn't enough, a third eye to the right of the red one opened up to reveal a purple eye with a ripple like pattern that glowed just like the other two.

It didn't help that this mysterious entity now revealed itself to have three different unique eyes was apparently a massive creature, but the smile it had showed this Naruto also had a long line of razor sharp teeth.

"Don't be frightened Akitsu-chan. I'm not going to eat you," remarked Naruto with a chuckle leaving his mouth.

"Ah...big," whispered Akitsu while Naruto laughed some more.

"I suppose my shadowy form in this darkness frightens you a bit. You cannot see it, but I think we both know if you did, my appearance would terrify you beyond words," said Naruto while Akitsu nodding since she believed something so massive in size with the eyes and teeth to match it would be something capable of bringing out about fear to even the most bravest of warriors.

"Ah...what are you going to do to me?" asked Akitsu with a hint of worry still in her quiet voice.

"Well that all depends on you. You called to me with your power. You called to me with a heart filled with pain and loneliness. A heart craving something others have taken for granted. Tell me Akitsu-chan...what is your heart's deepest desire? What is it that you want? That you need? That it would cause you to act in such a desperate manner as to send your power to the Moon?" questioned Naruto with Akitsu looking down slightly away from his eyes while feeling ashamed to go before this...deity and ask him for help.

"Ah...I want...I want...an Ashikabi," replied Akitsu with Naruto looking at her with a curious look in all three of his eyes.

"Ashikabi?" asked Naruto while leaning down to look at her more closely.

"Ah...I am broken. I can't be winged. Can't be winged by an Ashikabi. I am alone. I have no one," replied Akitsu while she dared not look Naruto in any of his three eyes.

"What are you exactly? You mentioned you were a Sekirei. What is a Sekirei? Tell me everything about your people and what you know about yourself," asked Naruto with Akitsu nodding before she told him everything about the Sekirei and about herself down to the last painful detail.

Needless to say, Naruto was not exactly happy with the world, and what it had become since he had been in it several...tens of thousands of years ago. He had defeated Kaguya, stopped the Juubi's reformation, and settled down with his lovely wife Hinata after peace had been achieved in the Shinobi era. Only to find new threats rose up when Orochimaru, Kabuto, and surprise surprise Sasuke decided to raise all new Hell on a peace embracing world. They had waited until those who could oppose them were too old or too lax in their training to fight back.

They had felt with Kaguya out of the way, the people of the Shinobi era so into peace that they wouldn't fight back. They could take the nine Biju for themselves, reform the Juubi, and tame it to bring about the ultimate power in the world. Orochimaru did it because he felt the Juubi would have the power to prolong his life into a form of Godhood and give him the ability to learn all the Jutsus in the world. Kabuto wanted to become his own individual entity and felt the Juubi could grant him this ability.

And Sasuke? Sasuke was always an emo at heart and a dick to others regardless if they were nice to him or not. Personally, Naruto thought Sasuke was doing it so he would be out of his clan's shadow, and be remembered for all time beyond that of his ancestors if not the Sage of Six Paths. Naruto didn't think Sasuke of all people would side with those two idiots, even if he had before, but the Uchiha always boasted about never making the same mistake twice.

Clearly Sasuke never embraced that principle.

Unfortunately, the trio nearly succeeded in their mission. They had moved faster then the Akatsuki ever did, as Sasuke used his eyes to get most of the Biju. They saved getting Kurama for last and it was only because of the bond the fox had with Naruto did the blonde get there in time to mess up their plans at the last moment. Using his new found Mastery in Fuinjutsu, Naruto had absorbed every single Biju into body, turning himself into the new Juubi with all that power compressed into a tiny human body. All of the personalities and emotions of the Biju coming together, becoming one single entity, and then merging with Naruto himself with all that chakra ripping through his coils.

Damn it the process had been painful.

In the end, Naruto in his new state of power, had crushed all three of his enemies, and made sure they didn't do it again...by killing them. Naturally, his actions had been met with mixed reactions, as most were glad Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Sasuke were dead. Some had felt Sasuke should have been locked up for the rest of his life with his eyes removed and chakra sealed off forever.

Naturally, Sakura along with her daughter took it the hardest. She had yelled at Naruto to his face for killing Sasuke. She called Naruto a murderer who took away her husband and a Father to the child she and Sasuke made together. In fact, Sakura had tried to punch him right in the face, but was stopped by Naruto, who calmly caught the hand, and looked at her like she was the most pathetic piece of filth existing in the world. He told Sakura that her husband, who never stayed in Konoha, or spent time with his child for long had been planning to ruin the world once more. How Sasuke didn't regret doing what he planned and in truth never loved anyone outside of himself.

His wife and daughter included.

He never loved you Sakura. He never loved your daughter either. He wanted a son. But the thought of being with you again disgusted him too much to even make the attempt. In the end, Sasuke decided to cut his losses, and tried to become a God amongst the people while crushing them underfoot. He had his chance to be happy with family and he once against threw it away fro power. He died a fool and if you strike me again...so will you.

Sakura left Konoha with her daughter soon after that. It seemed the woman had enough of being in the same village as Naruto and wasn't going to stand another second of being in it so long as the blonde was there too.

Naruto had expected Karin to get angry with him too, but the Uzumaki woman had long since abandoned her feelings for Sasuke after the Uchiha chose to marry Sakura. Add the fact Sasuke went all "evil villain" again also helped end all her romantic feelings for the Uchiha in its entirely.

As for Naruto's own family life, his wife was happy he came home alive, and they were a family again once more. His transformation into the humanized Juubi had made his hair spiky once again. Longer too! It had become like Jiraiya's had been though Naruto's also seemed to be more primal with a glow about it that seemed to show just how strong the man was now.

And once again, peace reigned down upon the world, but this time Naruto wasn't going to just sit back watching the world enter this era of peace without seeing the truth for what it was. It was painful, but Naruto knew chakra was the reason people were acting the way they did during the Shinobi era. They waged war, fought each other for land, power, and the right to be considered the dominant force in all the world. They did it with the Biju and Naruto was certain sooner or later the world would enter another war when someone with ambition wished to try his or her hand for power.

Kaguya.

Madara.

Obito.

Pein and The Akatsuki.

Orochimaru.

Kabuto.

Sasuke.

Naruto knew the list would only grow so long as chakra was allowed to be used by the people of the world.

He needed to take it out of the equation. And by take it out of the equation, Naruto meant to take it away from the people so they couldn't abuse it any more.

But at the time, he was hesitant to do it.

His wife and children were using chakra in the name of good. Hinata was the best doctor since Tsunade in her prime. His children were coming along nicely in their use of chakra and wanted to use it responsibly too. That being said, Naruto decided to wait until his two children were old enough to understand his actions before implementing his plan, and had Hinata's support on this.

But that wasn't the only thing Naruto had to deal with.

As it turned out, because of his new status as the second Juubi of the world, the blonde man had acquired a lifespan far surpassing the average human. Naruto would one day outlive everyone he ever knew and met in his life while never growing old no matter how many years went by. It had devastated Naruto since he had made strong bonds with so many different people and would be snuffed out one by one by the hands of time. When he told his wife the situation, he had wept on her shoulder, begging the woman he loved for forgiveness in knowing they would be denied being together again in heaven once claimed by death. It seemed unfair that they would be kept apart for Kami knows how long! As they held each other close, Hinata told him that it was okay, and she would always love the blonde no matter what. That she could wait and so would the rest of his family and loved ones on the other side. That he should keep on living and enjoy life with each day making friends and to make new bonds when old ones ended.

She didn't want Naruto to sulk and mope once death claimed her and eventually their children.

And so Naruto did. Given how things were in his life, he waited for several generations to go by, watching the world play out the way it did. And sure enough...the evil humanity had inside was rising up once more to use chakra for controlling the world. To do this, the said evil had tried to claim him, and his power to make the world fall to its knees and submit.

It was by that point in time that Naruto had enough of chakra being exploited by others and decided to nip this situation in the bud. Hard!

He took away the ability for people to use chakra. Using the legendary staff of the Sage of Sixth Paths, he pulled the chakra from them, and into his body to further increase his chakra reserves beyond what they already were. The people still had enough in them to live of course, but aside from that? They couldn't even make enough chakra to perform the basic Clone Jutsu that Konoha's Academy required to graduate.

Naturally, many people in the world didn't truly appreciate his decision, even if it stopped evil power hungry maniacs from destroying the world, and forcing those living within it to submit to their harsh rule. So to keep these people from building an army of sorts for the sole purpose of hunting him down, Naruto cast a world wide Genjutsu on the people to make them forget all about his actions, and anything else about chakra. The memory wipe based Genjutsu he performed would keep the people out of it for a full eight hours, which Naruto used wisely by removing every physical piece of evidence of chakra being part of the human race.

Being able to make over several billion copies of yourself with the chakra to back it up had its uses in getting the job done successfully.

After that was done, Naruto knew he couldn't stay in the world shortly after removing chakra, and all evidence of it from the world. Someone with strange abilities would raise too many questions and people would seek to find out answers to it one way or another. In short, Naruto needed to leave the world behind, and go somewhere else where his powers could not be revealed at a point in time where no one would try to hunt him down for the chakra he held.

But where could he go? The answer? He had to do what the Sage did with the first Juubi and sealed himself up into the Moon. Away from the people. Away from life and all the humans within it now without the ability to kill each other without chakra.

Until now with Akitsu here awakening him from his stasis. She had used her Tama within her in an attempt to find an Ashikabi she thought was not possible after what happened with the Adjustor responsible for her being broken. The plan while desperate in nature was actually quite ingenious since Naruto felt if one method to do something does not work, try another usually more complex one.

It usually works. Naruto and the Shadow Clone Jutsu being a prime example of such a thing.

As things stood in the NOW with Akitsu here, Naruto found himself in a bit of a situation he didn't exactly know how to deal with. On one hand, this Sekirei standing before him in just a slightly blood stained lab coat was searching for the one thing unreachable, and was silently hoping he would have the power to grant her heart's desire.

Did he even have that kind of power? Could he repair what was broken in her?

"Can you heal me? Or maybe...maybe you are my Ashikabi-sama?" asked Akitsu with a hint of hope and desperation in her tone.

"I am many things Akitsu. I have been called many more too. But never was I even considered an Ashikabi," replied Naruto with Akitsu looking up at him now.

"But...you reacted to me. My call. It was meant to react to whoever was meant to be my Ashikabi. You reacted to me," countered Akitsu while she took a step toward the giant shadowy form that was Naruto's face.

"Is that what you believe? Is that what you feel Akitsu-chan? Deep within your heart? That I am your Ashikabi? That I am your destined one?" asked Naruto while looking her right in the eye with his three eyes to gaze into her mind.

To see if she believed her own words and convictions on the matter.

"Ah...I do. I do believe it. You reacted. The Moon pulsed. You pulsed. You brought me here to answer the call meant for my destined one," replied Akitsu quickly and firmly while she looked him right into all three eyes with a steeled conviction.

She knew he was her Ashikabi-sama. If he wasn't, the Moon would not have pulsated, and Naruto would not have revealed himself to her.

"Such conviction. Such determination. Very well. I shall be your Ashikabi. I shall be your destined one," replied Naruto with Akitsu's eyes softening and tears slowly began to form.

"Thank you. Thank you...my Ashikabi-sama. I, former Sekirei #07 Akitsu: Sekirei of Ice am yours...now and forever," whispered Akitsu while falling to her knees and bowing to him.

"Rise Akitsu. If we are going to do this, we will do it properly, and it's not proper to do it here in this dark place," replied Naruto gently and saw Akitsu get off the ground.

"Ah...how do you wish to proceed Ashikabi-sama?" asked Akitsu with hope filling her heart and stood ready at attention now to obey his every command.

"With you back in your body so I may wing you," replied Naruto before his eyes glowed and the world Akitsu saw was enveloped from pure dark to pure white.

(With Akitsu-Moments Later)

Akitsu found herself waking up suddenly and looked around quickly for her Ashikabi she had just met in the most interesting way. Her eyes filled with hope for the first time since becoming broken and left to fade away into the shadows as a failure.

But upon looking around, Akitsu saw nothing but the park, the bench, and the shining Moon up in the sky shining down at her. For a moment, Akitsu's heart stopped, her eyes going from being filled with hope to utter horror that she had dreamt the whole thing, and the massive primordial God named Naruto did not exist. A figment of her imagination the mind made to take away the pain of being the "Scrapped Number" among all her Sekirei sisters.

Was it all just a dream? If so...why did her heart say otherwise?

"Ah...Ashikabi-sama," called out Akitsu while standing up from the bench, hoping that her hope of being winged wasn't violently dashed, and she had been talking to a figment of her imagination.

At first, all she got was silence from her surroundings. Tears began to form in her eyes again at having been tricked by her own mind. She had been deceived! She had been fooled by her own desire to be winged and had been betrayed by herself. Even now, the pulse of her own Tama was growing stronger with each passing second, but no one was around here but herself. Akitsu's efforts had been for nothing, her actions had caused her own body to betray itself, and believe the Ashikabi she long desired was near.

It wasn't fair!

She would have fallen to the ground in despair if not for the fact her ears heard a small jingle of metal clinking together behind the bench. Instantly, Akitsu stiffened with eyes wide, and fear once more gripping her poor fragile heart. The sound of footsteps echoed louder of someone walking on the grass behind her, followed by another jingle of metal clinking together, and more footsteps following that with the whole process repeating itself.

"You called Akitsu-chan," remarked Naruto calmly while Akitsu turned around to see him with her own two eyes to his three.

Akitsu looked at the person before her. She saw a tall man. Taller then herself by quite a few inches. A strong build. Lean, but not too bulky either. A man of balance in terms of strength and agility with one being better then the other. As for his attire, the man wore black pants, sandals, and strangely enough wore an orange trench coat. No shirt though. Not that Akitsu minded since it showed off the muscles his upper torso had on and the physical peak of condition the man was in.

What really surprised Akitsu when she looked at his face was not the three eyes he had instead of the usual two, but the pair of horns on either side of his head. They were not massive like one would see on say...the Devil! But they were there and they were about three to four inches in length while the horns themselves seemed to keep the front of his hair from falling over onto the front of his face.

In his right hand was a simple looking staff. A monk's staff of sort with three, maybe four metal rings connected at the stop of the main ring on the top of the staff itself.

"Ah...you have horns," commented Akitsu while Naruto raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"Really? After all you just witnessed and been through, the horns are the first thing you decide to mention?" asked Naruto with amusement in his eyes.

"Ah...sorry," said Akitsu while looking down with fear in the belief she had spoken out in a way he would find offensive and would discard her.

"Its all right Akitsu. I'm not angry with what you said. I just found it a bit funny. Though I suppose your remark about my horns is not all that surprising considering you already saw my three different eyes," replied Naruto warmly while Akitsu looked up at him with the fear she had on it seconds ago leaving.

"Ah...Ashikabi-sama is unique," said Akitsu while Naruto's smile increased and leaned in close to caress her face gently.

Something she enjoy greatly.

"I suppose I am. Just as you are Akitsu," commented Naruto while Akitsu moved her head deeper into his hand.

"Ah...I am not unique. I am broken," replied Akitsu sadly while she could not meet his gaze when saying it.

"Don't say that Akitsu. You maybe broken, but it doesn't mean what was broke cannot be fixed," said Naruto while Akitsu grabbed the hand caressing her face and held it tightly like hand was a lifeline.

"Ah...you can...fix me?" asked Akitsu hopefully while she saw Naruto smile.

"Yes. From what you explained to me and what I can see with my third eye, your Tama is highly unstable. Your self winging was your body's natural defense mechanism. One you instinctively activated to prevent your Tama from destroying you after that Adjustor who worked on you meddled in things he shouldn't have at the time. Right now, your Tama is on high alert in a sense, wanting you to only be winged by your true Ashikabi, and not some would-be pretender. I imagine this was your race's age old defense against being forcibly winged by Ashikabi, who were not their destined ones. But time and no doubt manipulation by this Minaka individual who found the space ship holding the Sekirei had it disabled for his plans. Once he saw it manifest in you, I believe Minaka found a way to get around it, and none of the other Sekirei in this city have that biological failsafe active right now," explained Naruto with Akitsu looking shocked by this, but when thinking about it, none of the other Sekirei before her had been winged yet, or even left the labs until after she had been broken.

"Ah...then only you can wing me now," remarked Akitsu happily while Naruto smiled at her and nodded.

"Yes. I can and I will," said Naruto before he kissed Akitsu right on the lips and felt the woman moan from it while wings soon sprouted from her back while the ying yang seal with a bird on her forehead vanished.

"This is the ice of my pledge. Shatter the misfortunes of my Ashikabi!" declared Akitsu once the kiss had ended and the entire area around them was surrounded by a circle of ice on the ground.

And behind that ice was a small army of M.B.I. soldiers armed with guns, tanks, and in the air were a few attack choppers.

"Interesting," commented Naruto while glancing at the army that had surrounded them in a complete circle and were ready to open fire when given the command.

"Sekirei #07 Akitsu. You are hereby ordered to come with us immediately back to M.B.I. for tests. Please surrender peacefully," commanded a woman, who Naruto saw was some kind of scientist, and had a look of someone who didn't take no for answer when giving an order.

This woman reminded Naruto a lot of Tsunade...minus the big boobs and super strength the Senju had to back up her commands. Naruto had to admit, this lady was a stunner to a normal man, but compared to Akitsu...she was a lowly peasant girl.

"Ah...no. I am winged. I have an Ashikabi-sama now," replied Akitsu while holding onto Naruto and had no intention of letting go anytime soon.

"I can see that. But Minaka gave orders for you to be brought back. Your...Ashikabi can come too since Minaka will want to talk to him as well and find out how he was able to wing you," replied the woman while Akitsu looked fearful of returning to M.B.I. and it showed when her grip on Naruto increased.

"She doesn't wish to return to the labs. I think my dear Akitsu-chan fears the worst will happen in terms of your scientists will find a way to break the bond we have just created. That I will be subjected to countless experiments, all of which would be painful, and cruel without a hint or shred of mercy. Is she wrong Miss...?" explained Naruto with the woman in front of them narrowing her eyes at him.

Oh yeah. She had the "angry Tsunade stare" down flat.

"The name is Takami. Sahashi Takami. I am the Lead Adjustor and SIC for the CEO of M.B.I. so I have the final say when he's not around," replied Takami while Naruto just looked from her to Akitsu.

"Akitsu-chan, do you want to go back to M.B.I. with Takami-san here. Be honest. If you don't, I won't force you to go," whispered Naruto while Akitsu shook her head no.

"Ah...no Ashikabi-sama," replied Akitsu with Naruto smiling and soothing the woman of her fears through the bond.

"You have your answer Takami-san. I and Akitsu-chan here must respectfully...decline," said Naruto with Takami frowning at them both.

"If you don't comply, I will have to use force to make it happen, and it may become lethal force if pressed. If you die, so does Akitsu due to the bond you now have with her. I do not think she wants to see you perish after just being winged," threatened Takami with the soldiers around them aiming their guns, clicking off the safety locks, and the sound of the vehicles around them all adjusting to fire properly.

"I see. I assume given the number of men, vehicles, and weapons you have surrounding us that you also have one other important thing required for their profession?" asked Naruto with his smile never leaving him while Takami frowned.

"That depends. What is the other important thing you are mentioning?" asked Takami while Naruto's smile was gone and became deadly serious.

"Simple. A body bag for each fool here!" exclaimed Naruto before he slammed the butt of his staff onto the ground and instantly blast of wind erupted around him and Akitsu that cut through everything around them.

Takami had dived to the ground on instinct, having dealt with a few wind based Sekirei in her time doing adjustments, and got a six sense on what attack would be unleashed just before it happened. The M.B.I. soldiers that had been standing behind her and all around her were not so lucky. They were on the ground, cut up, bleeding heavy, moaning in pain, and would die without proper medical treatment. The tanks were cut to pieces, same with the attack choppers, and their pilots were no better.

'What was that? How did he do that with a simple stomp of his staff? I was half expecting something Mutsu would do with his Smashing Point, but I saw the faintness of air around this guy coiling. Once he got it ready at the last moment to be unleashed, it struck out in all directions. If I didn't dive at the last second...I would have died!' thought Takami, as she saw the three eyes of Naruto glow with power.

"I didn't kill them, but they will die without treatment. Get out of my sight and leave us alone. Or the next time you sense an army after us, I will send you a pile of body parts so disfigured you won't be able to tell whose arms and legs belongs to whom," said Naruto venomously at Takami.

"Well this is interesting," commented another female voice walking casually through the bodies of bleeding and dying human soldiers like it was a stroll in her garden.

"Ah...Sekirei #04 Karasuba. They call her the Black Sekirei," remarked Akitsu while she tried not to shiver in fear at the sight of the fearsome Sekirei slowly drawing her sword.

"Oh dear, you ruined my chance at giving an introduction. That's not a very nice thing to do. Still, I suppose I could forgive you for it after all, your lovely Ashikabi did show a nice display of his power, and made quite the lovely mess of these pieces of human trash. It was most impressive by the way," replied Karasuba with her grin never leaving while the bloodlust she gave off was quite clear what she wanted right now.

"Thank you. I assume you are here on behalf of M.B.I. to bring us in?" asked Naruto with Karasuba nodding.

"Of course! With you around, I can finally fight a strong opponent, and not be bored with all these weaklings walking around everyday. Not to mention I can always get the former Scrapped Number here to give me a workout in your place," said Karasuba while Akitsu whimpered slightly since she knew Karasuba only wanted to kill things and people when fighting.

"A tempting offer, but no. You are not worth my time and I don't take kindly to anyone who threatens Akitsu-chan for their own personal sick amusement," commented Naruto with Karasuba's grin increasing.

"By all means resist. It makes this all the more fun for me," replied Karasuba before she charged forward to cut Naruto and Akitsu in two.

Akitsu for her part, tried to protect Naruto by blocking Karasuba's path with wall after wall of thick sheets of ice, and tried to pull him away from the approaching Black Sekirei intent on chopping them to pieces. But Naruto held firm, watching Akitsu's ice being cut down or shattered upon impact with the force of nature that was Karasuba, who was now almost within sword striking distance.

But Naruto would not let the woman achieve her objective.

"Shinra Tensei!" said Naruto with his hand that had been held by Akitsu slipped out of her arms and was now outstretched when he called out his attack.

The effect was almost instantaneous, as his attack sent Karasuba flying backward through the remains of a tank, three trees, two park benches, and one trash can. Calmly as if what he had just done was normal, Naruto wrapped his arm around Akitsu's waist, and looked at a startled Takami since she didn't expect this at all.

"What...What are you?" asked Takami with Naruto gazing at her with his three eyes glowing with a great deal of intensity.

"Something you could never even begin to comprehend lady. Now scram!" commanded Naruto while pointing for her to go away with his staff.

"Incredible! Absolutely brilliant! This is truly something beyond anything I have ever seen before today!" exclaimed a voice being projected from somewhere else.

Turning their heads, the three remaining unharmed people in this minor scuffle saw a terrified looking scientist holding a laptop open toward them, and the screen revealed a white haired man wearing all white clothing with glasses smiling like a total idiot. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the scared man holding the laptop, but beckoned him closer, and the scientist complied.

"I take it you are the one called Minaka?" asked Naruto while staring at the laptop screen and the man nodded energetically.

"Correct! I am Hiroto Minaka. President and CEO of M.B.I. here in Shinto Teito. I must say your sudden appearance and the winging of Akitsu here was most unexpected to say the least," declared Minaka while clearly interested in Naruto in a way that made the last Uzumaki mentally tense inside.

This guy reminded him a lot of Orochimaru and Kabuto right now.

"I'll take that as compliment. If just barely. Now why don't you end this transmission and I will let this guy and Takami-san leave here in one piece," countered Naruto while the poor guy holding the laptop was shaking even more.

"Come now, don't be like that. We have so much to discus. To think, an actual God has come down from the heavens to participate in my game. Oh this is so exciting I could scream!" said Minaka while nearly squealing like a girl at a boy band concert in the process.

"Please don't scream. The lives of your subordinate are at stake here. In any case, what makes you think I want anything to do with you, or your Sekirei Plan?" countered Naruto since he wasn't in the mood to deal with this guy's bullshit.

"Fair enough. As you may or may not have been told by Akitsu here, there are a total of 108 Sekirei here in Shinto Teito. Only one Sekirei, for classified reasons will not be part of the game. The game will pit the remaining 107 Sekirei against each other in a little tournament of sorts with their own Ashikabi providing them support. The Sekirei who outlasts the others will grant their Ashikabi the ability to ascend to the heavens!" said Minaka in a dramatic way while laughing.

"And the Sekirei who lose?" asked Naruto while gripping his staff tighter.

"I see you care about their lives! Well don't worry. They don't die unless killed in combat by the more violent Sekirei in the game. I would like to explain this to you more in my office at M.B.I. Headquarters. I think you will find that being a part of the Sekirei Plan will be interesting for you," said Minaka while grinning from ear to ear.

"Ah...Ashikabi-sama," whispered Akitsu since she could feel him through their bond and he was considering the idea of meeting Minaka.

"I'll meet with you Minaka-san. But on nonnegotiable conditions. And if you back out of those conditions...you will not live to see the next sunrise," said Naruto with Minaka just grinning without a care.

"Of course! I would never insult a God and break a deal. What are the conditions to you seeing me?" replied Minaka curiously.

"First, no attempt to break the bond I have with Akitsu will be made. Nor will anyone at M.B.I. study how I was able to wing her. Not now or ever. Second, you will also provide Akitsu with some necessary clothing when we arrive," said Naruto with Minaka nodding since that made sense to him.

"And the third condition? There is always a third condition," replied Minaka curiously.

"Every games rules. Yours included. I want to know every single rule in this game. No exceptions," said Naruto with Minaka grinning even further.

"Of course! Of course! I wouldn't dream of hiding the rules from you all exalted one. If you will just follow Takami-chan to the transport chopper inbound to your position, we can get you three here immediately!" declared Minaka with Naruto looking like he was thinking it over in his head.

'I could just teleport us there since the giant tower off in the distance seems to be the spot where M.B.I. is located. But the long ride over would give me more time to think about my next move,' thought Naruto before nodding to the idea of the chopper taking them all to M.B.I. to see Minaka.

"Excellent! I will see you all soon!" exclaimed Minaka happily before the screen went blank and the scientist holding it let out a breathe he didn't know was being held in.

"Ah...Ashikabi-sama?" asked Akitsu curiously while blushing slightly when feeling his hand on her exposed hip increase its grip there.

"Don't worry Akitsu-chan. No one will hurt you ever again. I promise. And I always keep my promises," whispered Naruto with Akitsu nodding and snuggling closer to him in the process while sensing he would keep his promise.

She truly had a wonderful Ashikabi.

(M.B.I. HQ-Minaka's Office)

Naruto walked into Minaka's office, Akitsu now fully clothed by his side, holding onto her Ashikabi's arm, and looking around discreetly for any threats to the horned God she called Ashikabi. Naruto himself was following Takami, who was walking in front of the two, and she made her way around Minaka's desk to stand beside the psycho. It was clear the woman didn't like being near Minaka and wasn't a fan of Naruto either since his little demonstration of power nearly killed her.

You would think with all the shit she puts up with, Takami should really ask for a pay raise.

"Minaka, this is Naruto. It took a little coaxing, but he finally gave me his name," said Takami while seeing Naruto smirking at her.

"Not my fault you can't take a little flirting I did with Akitsu-chan," remarked Naruto while Takami glared at him.

"You wanted to be in the dressing room while Akitsu put on the clothes we gave her in exchange for giving me your name," countered Takami with Naruto's smirk never leaving him.

"First, I don't need your permission to do that regardless of your position on the matter. Second, I blame you, Minaka, and the other Adjustors for making Akitsu's life miserable in causing her to become 'broken' or 'scrapped' before she broke out on her own. So if I am feeling a little spiteful, you now know why," replied Naruto with Takami wincing since that had been the case when he found one of the Adjustors during their walk here and Akitsu had secretly whispered to him about what man being one of the less...friendly scientists in the lab.

Even now, the assigned cleaning crew was still trying to get the blood smear of the man off the ceiling, and various parts of the room where Naruto killed him.

"Please Takami-chan. Let Naruto-kun have his fun," said Minaka while waving the whole issue away as if it were nothing.

"He killed one of our Adjustors," countered Takami while Naruto scowled at her.

"He deserved worse," Naruto shot back.

"Ignore it for now Takami-chan. I was going to fire Toshiro anyway. He was planning to sell some of our secrets to a rival company," remarked Minaka while again waving the idea of his employee being killed as being trivial.

"Fine," huffed Takami though she was going to insist on stronger background checks on all of the employees at M.B.I. to keep this stupid game on a tighter leash.

"Good!. Now, back to the business at hand. I must admit I was not expecting someone such as yourself entering my game Naruto-kun. I am quite intrigued with how things will play out with you on the board with the other Ashikabi fighting with their Sekirei against each other," commented Minaka with Naruto narrowing his three eyes at him.

"That's assuming I will even consider playing your game or that you could make me play it," countered Naruto before sitting down and Akitsu sitting on his lap since the chair next to him was too far away for her tastes.

"You have to participate Naruto-kun. Failure to participate in the game will result in the termination of your Sekirei or Sekireis you wing from here on out," replied Minaka while seeing Akitsu's eyes widen and hold onto Naruto tighter while Naruto himself let out a very heavy growl.

"You do realize the result of Akitsu-chan or any Sekirei I might wing in the process of your game were to sudden be terminated as you so eloquently put it...will result in you on the receiving end of a very painful agonizing death!" threatened Naruto with Minaka still smirking at him.

"And if I were to die, every Sekirei will be terminated since they are all connected to me through their Sekirei crests on their back," countered Minaka with Naruto's three eyes all glowering at him with a burning rage in each orb.

"You really think a threat like that will stop me from killing you? The very threat you just gave involving the lives of all the Sekirei is both meaningless and worthless in my eyes," said Naruto in a cold tone which actually made Minaka's smile lessen in the process.

"Oh? Don't you care what happens to Akitsu here? Her fellow Sekirei sisters? Surely you won't risk their happiness and being with their own Ashikabi for the sake of killing me?" asked Minaka while Akitsu looked worried while clinging even tighter to Naruto.

"You are assuming I can't bring them back from their terminated state. Or has the fact I am a primordial God with the power to bend things to my will lost on you?" countered Naruto with Takami stiffening in fear.

It seemed she just realized that even IF all 108 Sekirei were to receive the termination signal should Minaka be killed, this entity in front of her would simply use his infinite power to bring them back like it was nothing.

"No. It is not lost on me. Which is why I don't want you to just participate in my game, but rather...I want your help with it," offered Minaka with Naruto raised an eyebrow and Takami looked floored.

"Help? In what way?" asked Naruto curiously.

"As you well know by now Naruto-kun, keeping the Sekirei Plan a secret is very difficult to do. Even with my private army of soldiers on call, it is difficult to keep all 108 Sekirei in Shinto Teito, and some Ashikabi have been known to be...defiant of my rules set to keep things from spilling out of my control. To that end, I have created the Discipline Squad to keep them all in line. Right now the squad consists of three Sekirei. One you met already in the form of Karasuba, who leads the Discipline Squad, and keeps her two subordinates in check at the same time. While these three Sekirei are indeed strong, they can only do so much in such a populated city, and some Ashikabi have more then one Sekirei. I want you to join M.B.I. and create another squad to enforce the rules of my game to ensure it is not ruined," explained Minaka with Naruto not exactly liking the offer since it meant he would work for this asshole.

"W-What? You want him to form a second Discipline Squad?" questioned Takami with shock and disbelief on her face.

"Why would I want to form such a squad much less have Akitsu be part of it? Not only that, but the squad would consist of more then just her. Meaning you would have me wing additional Sekirei. Possibly by force," said Naruto while Akitsu clearly did not like the idea of being in the service of M.B.I. with her Master and the idea of her Ashikabi getting more Sekirei forced winging or not made itself known to him through the bond.

"I understand the offer appears to sour to you Naruto-kun, but the perks of being the Ashikabi of such a squad has its perks. A home to live in with your Sekirei, unlimited finances so they want for nothing, and I'm sure a being of your considerable skill will ensure the training they get in honing their powers will make them unmatched. Plus, as part of the Discipline Squad, you can enforce the rules of the game, and prevent any of the Ashikabi from abusing their Sekirei," offered Minaka with Naruto growling again.

"Meaning there are a few of them who have abused their Sekirei. Possibly even forced a winging or two in the process and you didn't do a damn thing to stop it," accused Naruto while Minaka didn't deny it outright.

"Once a Sekirei is winged to an Ashikabi, the bond cannot be undone, and the Sekirei must obey whoever they are winged to regardless of the relationship they share," said Takami with Naruto frowning heavily.

"Didn't you make it one of the rules to forbid Ashikabi from forcibly wing Sekirei?" asked Naruto with Minaka shaking his head no.

"And ruin the chance to make the game interesting? I think not!" answered Minaka with Naruto looking furious at him.

"You are a heartless son of a bitch," replied Naruto angrily at what Minaka was allowing this to happen.

"All for the greater good. As a God yourself, I would assume you have done things you are not proud of that would be considered inhumane," countered Minaka while Naruto narrowed his three eyes at him since those words reminded the blonde of Danzo.

"Not in the slightest," replied Naruto before he got up from his chair and was practically caring Akitsu with him when heading for the door.

"Wait! What about my offer?" asked Minaka with Naruto stopping at the door.

"Answer me this Minaka. If I...helped you with this Sekirei Plan and form my own squad to help enforce the rules...I would have complete control?" asked Naruto while ignoring the smirk forming on the man's face.

"Completely," answered Minaka.

"No interference?" asked Naruto.

"No interference," replied Minaka.

"And the rules you want me to enforce in this Sekirei Plan...I can enforce them how I see fit?" asked Naruto.

"Yes. Provided the method doesn't ruin the game," said Minaka.

"Fine. I'll do it. I'll help you. If only to see that the Sekirei find their destined ones and are not be forcibly winged by Ashikabi who are not worthy of the title. But I want to add a rule of my own to this game or so help me, this game will be ruined by the week's end," replied Naruto with Minaka raising an eyebrow at him.

"Oh? And which rule is that?" asked Minaka curiously.

"My rule stating it is now illegal for Ashikabi to forcibly wing Sekirei. Any who try will be punished...by me," answered Naruto before walking to the door and kicking it open.

"And just who exactly are you?" asked Takami curiously.

"I am Uzumaki Naruto: The Juubi Ashikabi," answered Naruto before leaving the office and into his new life with Akitsu.

And if he by chance winged a few Sekirei along the way (naturally of course), it wouldn't essentially be a bad thing.

(A/N: Hey everybody. I wasn't planning on writing and posting this so soon, but I felt an unexpected urge to write this, and well...here we are! Does that mean my other fics are on hold? Hell no! If anything, I was in a writing funk, and I didn't know what to write next with this being a good outlet for me. Now, as to Naruto being overpowered, and those of you who think its too much. I have one thing to say to you. Get over it! Naruto is going to be badass, strong, and kicking the butts of certain people in Shinto Teito. You know the ones I'm taking about. Until next time...PEACE!)
