A/N - Yep, as you can see, this is another brand new story. Aaaaand it's a Naruto x Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls crossover to boot! There's surprisingly very few of these stories and I just had to write this. I've actually had this story planned for a REALLY long time now, but I just never got around to writing it. You could ask Dragon and Sword Master and he could tell ya that I've actually talked about this fic before with him a number of times and even planned things out with him ahead of time on numerous occasions.
Anyways, yeah. I just couldn't put this on hold any longer. Sooo...here it is! I hope you all enjoy it. I had fun writing up this first chapter. As you can no doubt tell, it is a Naruto neglect fic, but it's not exactly like all the others you see out there. Sure it's got some of the same cliches, and there's some stuff that's rather similar, but I just went with what worked for my fic. Also, I have included a fem. Sasuke in this fic. She is Sasuke's twin sister. Her name is Satsuki. I do hope you like her. Also, Naruto has a twin sister named Naruko. Yakumo Kurama is one of their classmates as well, but she doesn't appear in this chapter I'm afraid.
Finally, the Uchiha Massacre never happened in this story! So sorry if you wanted to see the Uchiha's killed off. Anyways, hopefully I got all the important information out of the way. Wait! This WILL be a harem story! There, NOW I've said everything that needs saying. Now, enjoy the first chapter of my new fic! lol
Chapter 1 - I'm Getting Married?!
Have you ever wondered about your purpose in life? Or perhaps wondered why you were even born to begin with? Has your life ever been so bad to the point that you once thought: maybe I shouldn't even exist? For one Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, he's wondered about questions like this many times before. Why, you may ask? Well, for that we need to go back a ways, approximately fifteen years to the time of his birth when the Kyuubi was released from its seal and was unleashed upon the village of Konohagakure.
Back then, Kushina had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Their names were Naruto, naturally, and Naruko. Naruto was the older of the two by two minutes and 34 seconds, thus making him the heir to the Uzumaki and Namikaze clans. However, this is not important...at least, not yet. What is important is the fact that a rather ambitious, slightly deranged man attacked this night and ripped the Kyuubi from Kushina's seal while she was weakened.
Now, normally, a Jinchuriki would die upon having their Bijuu ripped from them in such a way, but the Uzumaki were known for their great longevity and their stubborness. As a result of these two things, Kushina survived and was able to help her husband fight back the fox and therefore restrain it long enough for them to begin the sealing process. However, the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, appeared and stopped them, offering to do the sealing in their stead. Reluctantly, the husband and wife pair let him, his argument winning them over in the end. After all, he was correct in the fact that they should be there for their newborn children.
So, the great God of Shinobi, as he was called, sealed the Yang half of Kyuubi into dear Naruko and sealed the Yin half and Kyuubi's soul into our blond protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Now, one would think it would be smart to keep such a thing silent and close to the chest so as to give them a chance at a normal childhood, wouldn't you? Well…
The very next day, Minato Namikaze, as the 'brilliant' Yondaime Hokage, announced to the village that his dear children housed the Kyuubi and explained that Naruto now housed the soul of the Kyuubi, thus painting a huge target on his back, much to Kushina's anger. She had argued against this decision vehemently, but her idiotic, idealistic husband had believed that his villagers would see their children as the heroes they were. She knew otherwise however and she was prepared for what was to come. Which is why Minato had to go without sex for a good few years, much to his consternation. It didn't help that she made him sleep on the couch for that entire time either, which really wasn't helping his mood any.
Fast forward to Naruto and Naruko's second year at the academy. By this point in time, Naruto had grown quite used to the beatings he would receive from the villagers. He was also quite used to his father pardoning them, believing them to be innocent of such acts of violence, despite the claims of ninja such as Anko Mitarashi, Ibiki Morino, Tsume Inuzuka, Inoichi Yamanaka, and others who had caught the perpetrators redhanded! In fact, Minato even threatened to punish his ninja if they were to continue with their 'lies' and they were each forced to leave things be or else face judgment at the hands of their Hokage.
Still, the ninjas that saw Naruto for what he was did everything they could for young Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. They protected him when they could. They fed him when they found out he wasn't being fed at home. They took the time to train him in whatever they could since he wasn't getting any training at home. Overall, they did what they could for him.
Ah yes, his home life. The neglect. His mother and sister were always kind to him, but there were times they were surprisingly forgetful of him. Naruto could tell that something was going on with them, something that was making them forget about him, but he wasn't skilled enough yet to figure out what exactly that was. Minato, on the other hand? Oh he was a rotten scumbag of a father.
Minato feigned he cared about his son in front of others, but in truth, he treated Naruto like he was trash. He would constantly degrade Naruto and put him down for the simplest of reasons. The bastard refused to train Naruto and refused to allow Kushina to train him either, telling her that Naruto wasn't worth their time. And when Naruko asked if Naruto could train with her, Minato said that he wouldn't allow Naruto to 'taint' her by being allowed to train beside her. It was always one thing or another with him.
But the day we're meant to focus on now is the day of their tenth birthday. They had just returned home from the academy and all their friends...well...Naruko's friends, were there. Naruto didn't have any friends his own age, unfortunately. He simply hadn't been able to make any. However, he did see some of the people that had been nice to him, and he did consider some of them friends, so maybe he did have friends here after all. There was also that one ANBU here that always took time out of his schedule to spend time with him. He had a Weasel mask and had nice black hair going down his back. Naruto really admired him. He thought he was pretty cool.
Minato had just called for everyone's attention and smiled around at everyone. Once he had everybody's attention, he decided to make his announcement. "Everyone, I'm proud to announce that I'm making Naruko-chan the heiress of the joint Uzumaki-Namikaze clan. So congratulations dear!" he declared, a proud smile on his face as he looked to his daughter.
What happened next, however, threw everyone off guard. Kushina lashed out with a hard punch that nailed Minato right in the eye, sending him reeling backwards. Immediately afterwards, she kicked him hard in the crotch, causing his eyes to roll back into his head and for foam to start bubbling up in his mouth. Before she could throttle him any further, Jiraiya appeared behind her and restrained her.
"What the fuck Kushina?! I thought you'd be happy! Why the hell are you trying to kill your husband over this?!" he exclaimed angrily.
Kushina reared her head forward before smashing it backwards into Jiraiya's face, breaking the cartilage in his nose and causing him to reel backwards, screaming in pain as he clutched at his face. Before she could do it, her daughter, Naruko, rushed forward and slammed her fist into Jiraiya's testicles as hard as she could. "Because Naruto-nii is the heir! That's why! Daddy shouldn't have done that! It's wrong!" she declared angrily.
The busty redheaded wife of the Yondaime nodded proudly of her daughter and stomped her foot on the ground. "Damn right!" Looking around for her son, she didn't see him anywhere. Instead, she saw a great group of people missing as well as her son. It would seem that Naruto and his group of friends had vacated the building as soon as the announcement was made. Oh Naruto-kun...I am so sorry.
Present Day
After that day, Naruto's family had been a broken mess. Kushina and Naruko still had trouble remembering Naruto even existed sometimes, though they couldn't quite understand why. Naruto had his suspicions, and he was pretty certain it was because Minato had done something to them. If his guess was right, it was by means of a seal he and his sensei, Jiraiya, had likely come up with. His only problem was figuring out where the seal was and how to undo it.
Naruto had decided that, after graduation, he would move out of this house and find a nice apartment to live in. Or, more than likely, he'd take that Anko lady up on her offer and move in with her. She was a nice enough person and he'd be happy enough to live with her for a while.
Right now, the young blond was watching his parents as they trained his redheaded twin sister in the backyard from within his room. He didn't much care anymore what they did. But, he did take note of what they trained her in and made use of whatever he could for his own training if he thought it would be useful for him. Hey, a shinobi uses anything they can to their advantage!
What he noticed most these days, however, was that Minato and Kushina barely talked to each other. His mother had yet to forgive Minato for all the wrongs he had done, and Minato had never put forth the effort to so much as apologize for any of it. After all, he believed he was in the right. He was of the belief that he could do no wrong, and therefore should not have to apologize. Ever! Meanwhile, his sister wanted to show love and support for both of her parents, but something about Minato just rubbed her the wrong way. Still, she would accept his training, because she wanted to get stronger. She wanted to be strong enough to ensure that no harm ever came to her precious ones or to the village she so dearly loved.
Naruto, however? He cared absolutely nothing for the village. It was just a place he lived in and he would probably just watch and laugh as it burned. However, he had people that he loved here in the village and he'd be damned before he watched any of them be hurt. So therein laid the conflict. To protect his precious people, he'd have to protect the village and its people as well, despite everything they had done to him. But, if he were to let the enemy simply raze the village and destroy its people, he'd run the risk of his precious people coming to harm in the process. Quite the quandary, wouldn't you agree?
As soon as his family had finished training, Naruto put away his notes and went about getting ready for the day. They had to get to the academy after all. It was their last year and he had no intentions of failing the final exam coming up in a couple of weeks. Sure, Mizuki had been tampering with his tests at first, but after bringing this news forward to his mother, she quickly took care of it, much to Minato's protests. Needless to say, Mizuki would never be the same ever again. Mostly because he was now missing a few limbs due to an irate Kushina.
Thankfully, it was now just Iruka-sensei teaching the class and Naruto was being given a fair shake at things. He was near the top of the class and was doing pretty darn well, all things considered. The Uchiha twins: Sasuke and Satsuki, and his own sister Naruko, were some of the only ones that were placed higher than him in the class.
Joining his family downstairs, he walked over to the kitchen table and sat down, waiting for his mother to place some food before him. When she completely passed over him, he sighed and shook his head, realizing she had forgotten him once again. Looking to his sister, he could see her looking at him sadly. She went to offer him some of her food, but Naruto waved her off and rose from his chair, making his way out of the house. He would simply stop at a restaurant and eat breakfast there.
Academy - 1 ½ hours later
Walking into the classroom, Naruto found himself lost in thought as he continued to think about his mother and sister. Thankfully, class hadn't yet started, though the majority of the students had arrived and Iruka-sensei was getting his things together in preparation to start the class. As Naruto began absentmindedly walking up the steps towards his usual seat, he kept thinking about where the seal could be on his mother and sister and what he'd have to do to get rid of it.
One of the boys in the class, one of those that loved to bully Naruto every chance he got, noticed how distracted Naruto seemed to be and leaned over to his friend, whispering to him, "Hey, watch this. This'll be hilarious." Sticking his foot out in Naruto's path, everyone in the class watched as Naruto tripped over the boy's outstretched leg and went falling forwards at an angle towards one Satsuki Uchiha, much to everyone's horror.
Reaching out to brace himself, Naruto couldn't quite catch himself in time and, much to everyone's shock, most especially his and Satsuki's, his right hand landed on her left breast and his lips connected to hers. What happened next could only be described as a miracle. A pillar of light erupted around the two of them, blinding everyone in the room and forcing them to cover their eyes for fear of going blind.
When it finally died down, Naruto and Satsuki had separated, and Satsuki was standing there, sporting a new, more revealing outfit and wielding a rather deadly-looking katana, its sheath strapped to her back. The top half of her outfit looked strangely like a kimono top, though it hung loosely and allowed a lot of cleavage to be shown. Considering she had large C-cup breasts, and they were still growing, this bothered her a great deal. Her sleeves were long and loose as well, spilling lowly off her arms and leaving plenty of room for her to conceal weapons within them.
However, the bottom half of her outfit is what really bothered her. There were four long strips of cloth that went from her waist down to just above her ankles. Between these strips of cloth you could see straight through to her legs. It was lucky that she wore shorts, or else you could see what kind of panties she was wearing! Her entire outfit was lavender in color and had a lovely yellow and pink flower print across the entire thing.
Naruto, on the other hand, had undergone a slight change as well. He now looked the part of a traditional samurai. On the upper half of his body he wore a white tunic that exposed the upper part of his chest and left his arms bare. For pants, he wore baggy red and black kimono style pants that fell loosely around his legs. In his right hand, he, too, had a katana, though this one had a deadly red gleam emanating from it.
Slipping it away into its sheath, which was strapped at his hip, Naruto looked at Satsuki and blushed badly before looking away. "I'm so s-s-sorry Satsuki-ch-chan. Are you okay? I didn't mean to trip like that!" he said, completely ignoring the fact that the two of them had undergone such a drastic change.
Satsuki was looking herself over before looking at Naruto upon hearing the sound of his voice. For a moment she blushed at how he now looked before she quickly shook her head and pointed at him accusingly. "You! What the hell did you just do to us?! I mean...look at us!" she shouted out. "And...and...ugh! That was my first kiss! And...and now…" Grabbing Naruto by the front of his tunic, she pulled him in close so his face was nearly touching hers and she growled at him. "Now we have to get married you stupid jerk!"
Everyone's eyes went wide at this proclamation and Satsuki's fans screamed out, "WHAT?!" while Naruto was sweating nervously and quickly shook his head. "W-What the heck do you mean get married?! I'm not ready for that! And we barely even know each other! Isn't this rushing things a little?!"
Satsuki blushed worse and released Naruto before she looked down and shuffled her feet. "M-Mom says that you're only supposed to kiss someone if you're dating them or planning to marry them. But...F-Father says that if you let someone touch you t-th-there...you have to marry that person. Mom said that you should only do that with someone you're planning to marry. So...there you have it. We have to get married. Thanks a lot Naruto."
Sasuke was seething at this point. His sister was going to be forced to marry this fucking idiot?! Not on his watch! So, jumping out of his seat, he went to attack Naruto. However, before he could make it even two steps, Satsuki pressed her new blade to his throat and glared at him. "What do you think you're trying to do to my new fiance Brother? I may not like it, but I won't allow you to kill him just because you don't like him."
Sasuke glared fiercely at his sister before switching his glare to the 'dobe' as he considered him to be. "Why are you defending him?! First he gropes you and now you're being forced to marry him due to some stupid rule Father made, and you still protect this jerk?! What's wrong with you?!"
Before Satsuki could reply, Naruko walked up and glared at him. "Hey! That 'jerk' as you call him is my brother! And he didn't do it on purpose. That stupid jerk right there tripped him! Or didn't you see that oh 'high and mighty' Uchiha?" she mocked. "Besides, I'm sure if you just talk to your parents and explain what happened, everything will be okay. But...I'm more concerned about what happened to the both of them. Iruka-sensei, do you have any idea what's going on? Why the two of them suddenly changed like that?"
Naruto and Satsuki both blinked in realization at this point before looking at each other and nodding as one before they turned to their teacher. "That's right. What is going on Iruka-sensei?" they asked as one.
Iruka frowned at this and rubbed at his chin in thought. Putting aside the marriage issue, he thought back to all known kekkei genkai. This was obviously the sign of a kekkei genkai being activated, but which one could it be? It was then that it struck him. A kekkei genkai that originated in Iron Country of all places, the home of the samurai! It was highly unusual, but especially gifted samurai sometimes inherited this kekkei genkai and with it were able to gift others with the abilities of the samurai through the power of…
Smiling at his students, Iruka decided to clear the air. "Naruto, you've awakened a kekkei genkai. This kekkei genkai is one that originated in Iron Country, the home of the samurai. Your kekkei genkai is unique in the fact that it's something that was commonly only seen in the samurai of Iron Country, which is a rarity in the world we live in, as samurai don't use chakra in the same way we ninjas do. Your kekkei genkai is known as Bushi no Kisu or Samurai's Kiss. With this gift, anyone of the opposite gender that you kiss will be gifted with the power and abilities of a samurai, just like you, yourself have now become. So congratulations Naruto and Satsuki, you are the first samurai ninjas in the world. You should feel proud of yourselves." Iruka explained with a smile.
Naruto and Satsuki looked at each other and couldn't help but break out into huge grins at this before high-fiving each other. "Hell yeah! This is awesome Naruto!" Satsuki shouted out, happy that she could be this awesome samurai ninja mixed breed thingy thanks to Naruto. But then she remembered how it happened and she blushed again, quickly returning to her seat and looking away. "Don't touch me." she muttered.
Naruto blinked, but complied regardless and moved past his sister and went to his usual seat beside Shino Aburame and a civilian-born girl. As he sat down, he looked towards his sister to see her reaction to everything that had just been revealed and saw her looking his way. When he saw her offer him a comforting smile, he smiled back and gave her a wave before he returned his attention to Satsuki.
Satsuki. She was an interesting one. Half of the time she seemed grumpy to him, but the other half she seemed like an angel. She had a good group of friends, one of which was Naruko. Naruto knew that Satsuki had a bit of a temper on her, but she was a good girl regardless and he liked her well enough. Yeah, her brother was a total dick, but that was just how he was. He took after his father waaaay too much. Fugaku was like Minato, a right bastard that didn't really give two shits about his family and treated them like crap. None of them were ever good enough, he was always right, you know the whole deal already.
As Naruto stared at her, thinking about their situation and how she was of the belief that they were to be wed, Satsuki found her eyes drifting towards Naruto as well. When she saw he was looking at her, the both of them quickly turned away from one another and another blush rose to her face. If she could have seen Naruto right now, she would have seen him blushing as well.
Satsuki was taking this time to think about everything she knew about Naruto, which, admittedly, wasn't all that much. She knew that he was a really nice guy and a great listener. She had only talked with him a few times in the past, but she definitely knew that much about him. Satsuki also knew, from Naruko, that Naruto's life at home was utter shit. She wasn't sure if Naruto had any training outside of the academy's, so she wasn't sure how strong he really was. She certainly hoped that her husband-to-be wasn't some weakling! How could she marry someone that was weaker than her after all?!
Sighing to herself, she thought about how well he did in the academy and knew that he was at least smart and skilled with shuriken and kunai, so he had that much going for him at least. When she got a good look at him earlier in his samurai garb, she could see that he was certainly handsome. Thinking about it got her blushing again and even got her to giggle a little, much to her brother's horror.
After a moment, Iruka finally shouted out, "Okay, enough of this! Naruto, Satsuki, pay attention or I'll have you two serving detention after class!" Upon seeing he now had their attention, he smiled kindly at them and nodded his head once in satisfaction. "Good. Now let's begin."
Later that night - Uchiha Compound - Clan Head's House
After the academy was over, Satsuki had pulled Naruto aside and invited him to come over to her home later that night. He was also told to bring his family if he wanted. Naruto, already having an idea of what this was about, and having a feeling of utter dread in the pit of his stomach, decided to invite both his mother and his sister, Naruko, to join him at the Uchiha clan head's house. There was absolutely no way in Hell he was bringing his 'father' along.
So, here they were, sitting, Naruto, Kushina, and Naruko, sitting at the table with Fugaku, Mikoto, Itachi, Sasuke, and Satsuki. Everyone was dressed in their nicest outfits befitting such an event, but Fugaku was glaring at Naruto the entire time, as if he was filth that had no place being in his home.
Finally, after a while, tired of all the glaring, Naruto decided to get to the matter at hand and spoke up after swallowing a small helping of rice. "Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe I was invited over because of what transpired earlier today. Am I correct in thinking this?" he queried, hoping to get this topic moving along.
Before Fugaku could say anything rude or disrespectful, Mikoto piped up. "Why yes, you are Naruto-kun." she said, a kind, happy smile on her face. "Don't worry, I'm not upset with you. What happened was an accident and we all understand that. Don't we dear?" she stressed before levelling Fugaku with her deadliest glare.
Fugaku, ignoring his wife's glare, glared harder at Naruto and pointed towards the door. "You are filth! And my daughter had no right to bring the likes of you into my home! Even worse, she let you lay your hands upon her. She's proven herself to be nothing more than a filthy whore. She should just leave with you!" he shouted out furiously.
Kushina's hair began to flail about in nine separate tails as she slowly rose to her feet. She was furious about what this man...no, this monster had just said about not just her precious Naruto-kun, but about his own daughter! Mikoto was no better. She had withdrawn a kunai from within her sleeve and was prepared to stab it into her husband's jugular vein because of what she had just heard spew forth from his mouth.
Sasuke, however? He snorted and nodded in agreement. "I agree Father. It was foolish." he said aloud, his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed. He had an arrogant smirk on his face too.
Itachi could only sigh at this and slammed his fist into the back of his brother's head, causing his face to go plummeting into his plate of food. "That was for being an idiot, dear brother." he said, 'dear' coming out sarcastically. "You shouldn't talk about your sister that way. Besides, 'Father' is in the wrong here. It's just a shame you take after him so much."
Mikoto looked at her son in a mixture of shock and horror at the fact that he dared to agree with her monster of a husband. It was at this point that she saw the tears trickling down her beloved daughter's face. Quickly rushing around the table to get to her daughter, she pulled her into a hug and began to pepper her face with kisses. "Oh honey, don't listen to them. Itachi and I aren't angry with you or upset by what happened. It was an accident honey. Accidents happen. You only have to marry him if that's what you want. And you aren't just some failure. You're my wonderful baby girl. Starting today, you, me, and Itachi are going to live on our own away from your rotten father and brother. They can do what they want." Mikoto declared, furious at Fugaku and Sasuke.
Itachi nodded his head in agreement and rose from where he was seated. When it looked as if Fugaku would protest, he nodded towards Kushina and she lunged at Fugaku, proceeding to beat him to within an inch of his life. Oh, she wouldn't kill him, but she'd be damn sure to rip off what makes him a man and make sure he forever regretted this day.
Meanwhile, Naruko walked over to Sasuke and proceeded to kick him in the face, knocking him onto his back. Smirking down at him, she proceeded to repeatedly stomp on his crotch as fast and as hard as she could. "This. Is. For. Making. Satsuki. CRY!" she shouted out, clearly enjoying herself as she made Sasuke cry out in pure agony. It was unknown if he'd ever be able to use his man parts ever again after this blow to his anatomy.
Once everyone was finished, Kushina decided that they should move their conversation to somewhere more pleasant. So they each agreed upon a quaint little ramen shack known as Ramen Ichiraku. Once they had arrived, they each ordered a small dish, having already eaten a small amount before their appetites were ruined earlier by Fugaku and Sasuke.
Once they were all seated and their bowls of ramen had been placed in front of them, Naruto turned to Satsuki and spoke to her. "Satsuki-chan...are you okay? I'm...I'm sorry about what happened there. It's my fault. I'm...not well liked by most of the village. I'm sure...you know why." he said sadly.
Before Satsuki could say anything, Kushina spoke up in anger. "No, it's not your fault Naruto-kun. It's your father's fault. If he hadn't told the entire village about you housing the soul of the Kyuubi, people wouldn't be treating you like you're the damn fox itself. I tried to stop him honey, but your father…"
Mikoto frowned at this and looked closely at her friend. She could see something just under her hair. Reaching over, she brushed aside a few locks of her hair so she could get a closer look at the back of her neck, close to the middle of her back actually. When Kushina was about to turn around to see what she was doing, Mikoto hissed at her. "Don't move Kushi-chan. It looks like you've got a seal on your back here, just below the nape of your neck. Your hair covers it pretty well, but when you moved I saw it. Naruko, let me have a look at you."
Naruko nodded in compliance and turned her back to Mikoto, allowing her to look at her back as well. Soon enough, she found what she was looking for and shook her head. "Yep, these are definitely seals, but I'm not sure what they do. Do you have any idea who placed them on you two or what their purpose is?"
Naruto frowned and spoke up at this point. "I know who did it. I also know exactly what they do. At least what their main function is." he said irritably before he began to dig into his ramen. What? He was hungry! When he saw their eyes on him, he motioned for them to begin eating before their food grew cold.
As they began to eat themselves, he took a moment's break to begin explaining. "I'm not sure when they did it, but Jiraiya and Minato were the ones to come up with the seal. I'm pretty sure one of them was the one to place it on the two of you." Naruto explained, causing everyone there to narrow their eyes. They were already pretty sure of what the seals did now, but they wanted to be sure before they jumped to any of the wrong conclusions.
"As for what the seals do, the main function seems to be making my mom and sister forget about me as often as possible. The problem is, the Uzumaki clan is a family-oriented clan and I don't think either of them took into account just how stubborn Uzumaki's can be. The seal they came up with wasn't powerful enough to completely stamp out their desire to include me in the family. So it only worked about half of the time compared to full time. So...while I was neglected by my family, my mom and sister still did their best to try and include me. So for that...I do thank you two and I do not hold what you did against you. We Uzumaki's must stick together after all. Family above all. Isn't that right mom, Naruko?" he asked with a grin.
Kushina and Naruko had tears in their eyes as they heard their precious Naruto-kun say that. Getting off their seats, they walked over to Naruto and hugged him tight. It was a hug that he readily returned before he nodded to them both. "I've been studying up on fuinjutsu, but I don't think I'm anywhere near skilled enough yet to remove those seals. But you two? I think that you can easily break the seals on each other. So why don't you do it tonight when we get home? And if I were you, mom...I'd think about divorcing Minato for everything he's done. I don't know why you haven't yet."
Kushina blinked at this and brought a hand up to her forehead, rubbing it a bit as she thought about it. Before she could stress herself out over it, she felt Mikoto turning her around and could see the look her friend was giving her. "Kushina, that may be another part of the seal. They may have included a loyalty seal in the seal so that you'd stay loyal to Minato and never think about leaving him. Once you break the seal on you and your daughter, things might become clearer for the two of you." Mikoto explained helpfully.
Kushina nodded at this and looked to her daughter, who was looking at her with a hopeful smile on her face. Nodding once at her, Kushina patted her on the head and they both retook their seats. "We're getting these seals off of us tonight Naruko-chan. And then...I think it's time for us to become the Uzumaki clan again. Let your father have the Namikaze name to himself." she said with a grin on her face.
Naruko nodded at this and cheered before she dived back into her ramen with gusto. Naruto couldn't help but smile in relief and was about to say something before Mikoto spoke up. "Well now, now that we've got all that cleared up, why don't we talk about what happened between my little Satsuki-chan and your little Naruto-kun, hm? It was an accident, but she seems so insistent on marrying him. Why is that my sweet little Satsuki-chan?" she queried teasingly as she looked inquisitively at her dear daughter.
Satsuki began to blush furiously and looked away. "It's...it's not like I want to marry the baka. It's just...he's definitely not cute or anything. And...and it's not like I think he'd make a good husband or anything! I don't even know how strong he is! And besides, it's not like I like him or anything like that! I just...you said...y'know...only people intending to get married should touch each other like that and I thought...well...we'd have to get m-married. And the kiss...it's not like I hated it. But d-don't get me wrong! It's not like I liked it or anything! Gah!"
Mikoto and Kushina began to laugh uproariously as Satsuki struggled to explain herself. She sounded so damn adorable to them and she was speaking in a way that they found absolutely hilarious. Itachi, however, simply smirked and ate his food in silence. Oh dear sister, you are just too easy to tease. He thought to himself, clearly amused by the whole situation.
Naruto, on the other hand, was just utterly confused. So...does Satsuki like me? Or does she not like me? I'm really confused now. She's talking in riddles! He thought in distress. Clutching at his head as he tried to make sense of Satsuki speak, he barely felt it when Naruko touched his arm and spoke his name. "Huh? What was that Naruko-chan?"
Naruko frowned at this and put her hand to his forehead. "Are you feeling alright Naruto-kun? You aren't looking so well. Is something wrong?" she asked worriedly, causing the others in the stand, even Teuchi and Ayame, to look his way.
Naruto frowned at this and shook his head. "I'm just...feeling a little under the weather I guess. I'm also really confused right now. I can't make any sense of what's going on right now. So...are Satsuki-chan and I getting married or not? Because...I think she's beautiful. I think Satsuki is one of the smartest, most beautiful and talented girls I know. She's also kind and thoughtful, and...well...if I had to marry anyone, I can't really think of anyone better. But...if this is happening, I'd really like for us to get to know each other better first, as it wouldn't be fair for either of us to just be married off to one another without knowing anything about one another." he explained passionately.
Satsuki, by this point, was so red over her entire body that it was amazing she hadn't passed out yet. Kushina and Mikoto were practically swooning they thought what he said was that damn sweet. Naruko 'aww'd and Itachi? Itachi was just smiling at his younger brother figure and nodded his way to show his appreciation for what Naruto had said.
After a moment to gather herself, Satsuki was the one to speak up first. "H-How can you s-s-say things like that so easily you b-b-baka?! You're going to make me really like you! Not to say I don't like you enough already. Wait! I'm not saying I like you, like you. I'm just saying...wait, what am I saying? Ugh! Damn it baka! You've got me all flustered now!" she shouted out, unable to fully activate her tsundere protocols to proper effectiveness.
Naruko giggled at this and looked to her brother. "Well would you look at that? I think you've got her all flustered Naruto. Good job!" she declared with a thumbs up in his direction. This earned her a kick to the leg from Satsuki, whom she was sitting next to, with her mother, Kushina, sitting on her other side. Wincing, she turned to see Satsuki was pouting at her cutely, and Naruko couldn't help but giggle a bit. "Sorry Satsuki-chan, but you have to admit you're cute when you get like that."
Itachi finished the last of his meal and found himself chuckling now. "Calm yourself Satsuki-chan." he spoke after he got himself under control. "Naruto-kun, what you said was very kind and very thoughtful as well. You are quite right. The two of you should focus on getting to know one another before you so much as think about getting married. Satsuki-chan, don't rush into this and spend some time in Naruto's company. Get to know him as a person and not just as your first crush. Sure you may like him now, but what if you don't feel the same in the near or distant future? See how you feel after you spend time in each other's company and get used to one another's presence in your lives. Only by doing that can you truly determine the extent of your feelings for one another." Itachi explained calmly.
Mikoto smiled at her son and nodded in agreement with him. "Itachi-kun's right. You two should listen to him. As much as Kushi-chan and I would love to see some beautiful black-eyed blonds and blue-eyed black-haired younglings in the future, we aren't going to push you two into a relationship if it turns out the two of you don't want it." she said, smiling sweetly at the two fifteen year-olds.
Thanking Mikoto for her understanding, the pair looked at one another and blushed a bit before they went back to their meals and eating in silence.
A short while later, after everyone had finished, Kushina decided to pose a question that was on the Uzumaki family's minds. "So, um, Mikoto-chan, where are you three going to live now?"
Mikoto sighed and shook her head. "We'll just move into a house of our own in the Uchiha compound. Fugaku's not going to exile us from the Uchiha clan, he's too stupid and too prideful in the Sharingan to let us go that easily. It's not like he'd be willing to let another clan or even some civilian family lay claim to those of us with the Sharingan. Ugh. Just thinking about his bullshit is giving me a headache." she said with a sigh.
Itachi frowned and placed a hand on his mother's shoulder before he offered Kushina a smile. "We'll be fine. Right now I'm more concerned about the two of you: Kushina, Naruko. You still need to get home and remove those seals. Then in the morning, you and my mom both need to file for divorce from your husbands. That could be a harrowing ordeal, but it's a necessary step to ensure happiness and freedom for all of us here. So I bid everyone here a good night and good luck in your endeavors. Mom, sister, let us go." he said, ushering his female family members out of the ramen shack.
Realizing he was right, Kushina, Naruko, and Naruto each looked at one another before nodding in determination. After paying for their meal, the trio quickly made their way home and retreated to Naruko's room. Thankfully, Minato wasn't home yet, most likely having a late night at the office, or at least that's what Naruko and Kushina thought. Naruto, on the other hand, thought that he might have found a lover because his relationship with Kushina wasn't going so well.
Regardless, that wasn't important right now. Kushina and Naruko both looked at Naruto with blushes on their faces. "N-Naruto-kun...we're going to need to take off our shirts. You might want to wait in your room or turn around or something." Naruko said.
Naruto blushed at the idea of seeing his female family members in such a state of undress and nodded before quickly bolting from the room, slamming the door behind him. They both giggled a bit before they removed their shirts and bras, leaving their tops bared to one another.
Kushina decided she would go about removing Naruko's seal first and proceeded to examine the seal that had been placed upon her daughter. What she saw disgusted her. It was definitely something Jiraiya would design, the disgusting bastard. But she had never suspected that sweet little child she had once known in Minato would have helped create something so vile.
What Naruto had explained about this seal was, indeed, true. Mikoto's suspicions had proven true as well. There was a loyalty seal mixed in with the seal that was forcing them to stay loyal to Minato. Still, the seal was so much more than that. Based on what Kushina could see, it looked as if there was a restriction seal mixed in that would allow the creator of the seal to instantly disable them should the loyalty seal fail and they ever turn against him. The final part of the seal is what really pissed her off though.
As she looked at the seal, Kushina growled and had Naruko turn to face her. "Naruko-chan, this seal's going to be a bit harder to remove than I thought." she admitted. "I've figured out what this seal does, and it's not pretty." With a sigh, she pulled her daughter in close and began to run her fingers through her long red hair. "Naruto-kun was right honey. These seals are meant to make us forget about him. But he and Jiraiya didn't make the seals powerful enough to make us forget about him entirely. They'd work on anyone else just fine, but we Uzumaki women are far too stubborn and family oriented for something like this to stop us from caring for our precious Naruto-kun. Right sweetheart?" she said, smiling down at her precious Naruko-chan.
Naruko nodded in agreement, but before she could say anything, Kushina carried on. "Miko-chan was correct as well. There's a loyalty seal mixed in that is meant to keep us loyal to Minato. There's also something included in the seal that will allow him to restrain the both of us should his loyalty seal fail for any reason and we move against him. So say we attempt to attack him, he would be able to activate our seals and we'd collapse to the ground in complete agony because of our seals." she explained with a snarl escaping her.
Here, she sighed. "The final part is the most troublesome. Jiraiya and Minato made it so that these seals are powered by our own chakra networks. And because they've been on us for so long, they're a big part of us by now. Removing them is going to take a lot of chakra and it's going to hurt too. It's going to hurt real bad sweetheart. Are you sure you can handle the pain that removing this seal is going to cause? It's going to feel like I'm ripping out your veins through your skin or something." Kushina questioned, dearly hoping her dear Naruko would be able to handle this.
Naruko took a moment to think about this before she looked up into her mother's eyes and nodded once. "Mom, I know this is going to be hard on me. On the both of us even. But I don't want this seal on me any longer. I want it off! So please, do what you need to do and remove the damned thing so I never have to forget my brother again!" she yelled out, clearly frustrated.
Kushina nodded and had her daughter turn around. Afterwards, she brought out her fuinjutsu kit and began to draw on her daughter's back an intricate series of patterns and sealwork. Once she was finished drawing on her daughter, she proceeded to draw the same series of patterns on a sheet of paper for her daughter to copy off of when it came time to do the same on her.
"Alright sweetheart, here I go." Kushina said in as soothing a tone as she could. Taking a deep breath, she held up a single hand seal and said, "Curse Seal Removal: Release!" Within an instant, Naruko was on the ground, thrashing and screaming out in absolute agony as the seals her mother painted on her went about removing the seal. She had heard her mother say Curse Seal Removal before the pain, so did that mean this was a curse seal? If so, then that just made her hate her father all the more.
As her daughter writhed in pain, Kushina could only wince in sympathy for her. Her screams were so loud that she didn't hear Naruto knocking on the door and shouting out Naruko's name, asking if she was alright. At least, she wasn't aware of him until he opened the door.
Looking towards him, Kushina didn't quite register the fact that both she and Naruko were naked from the waist up and therefore her son could get quite the generous view of their bountiful bosoms. However, Naruto didn't quite care about that at the moment, which she was thankful for when she did realize that a moment later. Instead, Naruto kneeled down by Naruko's side and quickly began brushing his fingers through her long, beautiful red hair. "Naruko-chan, are you going to be alright?"
Naruko smiled lovingly at her brother and reached up a shaky hand to stroke his whiskered cheek. "I-I-I'll be...al-alright Naruto-kun. It just...really, really hurts. Now, could you please leave? We're both t-t-topless and...I think we've given you...e-e-enough of a f-f-free show by now."
Naruto blinked at this and glanced down to see what she meant. As soon as he saw her bare breasts, the poor blond fool quickly released her and rushed right back out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him once again. Kushina laughed at this while Naruko huffed and pouted cutely.
Naruko, on the other hand, pouted cutely and shook her head. "Jeesh. According to our clan laws, having seen me naked, I'd have to end up marrying him if he wasn't my brother." Naruko joked. "He's really trying to go for a record. First Satsuki and now me. What's my foolish little brother thinking, huh?"
Kushina smirked at her daughter. "Oh? Are you saying you're interested in your brother Naruko-chan?" she queried somewhat teasingly.
Naruko giggled at this question and shook her head. "Nah. At least, not yet. Maybe in the future, if it turns out that nobody else is right for me, but right now? I guess I'm just keeping my options open to me? Naruto-kun is certainly cute, and I like him well enough, but...I dunno. Would it be so wrong for me to pursue a relationship with him if it should happen naturally in the future?" she asked her mother.
Kushina shrugged her shoulders and glanced towards the door. "That's entirely up to you dear. If you find out that he's the one that makes you happy, then I say go for it. But if you find somebody else, then that's okay too. Now, how do you feel?"
Naruko sat up and stretched her arms above her head, doing wonderful things for her breasts, and sighed in relief as she managed to pop some kinks out of her back. Lowering her arms, she looked into her mother's eyes and smiled. "I feel a lot better. It feels like my chakra's flowing properly now for one thing. On top of that, all I feel for Minato now is pure and utter hatred. I don't feel any of that false love I had for him before. Now I just want to smash his balls so hard they fly up into his eye sockets! Finally...I don't feel like I'll forget Naruto-kun ever again! So all-in-all, I feel fantastic Mom!" she declared with a bright grin on her face.
Kushina smiled happily for her little girl and turned her back to her daughter. "Alright then. Once you feel you're ready, I want you to remove my seal. Okay sweetheart? Just use the same seal I jotted down on that piece of paper and it will work. Be extra careful though, okay?" she stressed, hoping that nothing would go wrong.
Naruko nodded once before she took the ink brush and began to inscribe the seals on her mother's back. When she was done, she looked at the back of her mother's head and sighed as she brought her hands up into a seal. "Curse Seal Removal: Seal!" she said, wincing in sympathy as soon as she said it.
Kushina was able to hold it in better than her daughter, but it was obvious she was feeling a great deal of pain when she collapsed to the ground and began to curl up into herself. She was whimpering from the pain. When she finally began to calm down, the older of the two redheads sat up slowly and reached up to wipe away the tears that were spilling down her face. "Okay...that hurt worse than I thought it would." she admitted unashamedly.
Naruko hugged her mother close and smiled at her affectionately. "We're free now Mom. How do you feel?" she asked, happy that she and her mother were now free from that horrible man.
Kushina chuckled a bit and hugged her daughter back. "I feel great honey. Like you said, it feels like my chakra's working normally again. I also feel like killing that scumbag husband of mine. And all I want to do is smother Naruto with love. I don't think I'll ever forget about him again." she explained, happy for these changes.
Naruko decided to ask a question that was now on her mind. "Mom? Are we going to move out, or are you going to kick Minato out of the house? You are filing for a divorce right?" she asked, just to be sure.
Kushina smiled and hugged her daughter again. "I'm kicking that scumbag out. This is my house and he is no longer welcome here. And if you don't mind, I'd like to name Naruto as the Uzumaki heir once again. But, if you still want to be the heiress still, then that's fine sweetheart, I won't fight you on that." she said, smiling sweetly at her daughter.
Naruko shook her head and smiled up at her mother. "No Mother, Naruto deserves that far more than I do. Now, why don't we put our tops back on before Naruto-kun comes rushing back in here and gets an eyeful again?" she suggested with a giggle.
The violet-eyed beauty that was Kushina quickly nodded in agreement and slipped on her bra and shirt once again with Naruko doing the same before they both vacated the room and smiled at Naruto. When he looked at them expectantly, Kushina spoke up. "The seals are gone Naruto-kun. We're free."
Naruto smiled and hugged both of them tightly, happy that he finally had his mother and sister back fully. However, their happy moment was cut short when Minato entered the house and called out to the happy family that he was home. Scowling at this, the group of three made their way downstairs to confront him.
When Minato saw them enter the living area, he narrowed his eyes at them, already sensing that something wasn't right. "Kushina, what's going on?" he demanded.
Kushina glared at him and pointed her finger towards the door. "Minato, we found the seals. More importantly, we've removed them. You won't be controlling us any longer. In the morning, I'm filing for divorce. And right now, I'm kicking you out of the house. You can pack your things, but then I want you out of my house! If you refuse to comply to my wishes, I'll force you out. And trust me, as strong as you are, I'm stronger."
Minato growled at this and clenched his fists at his sides. He knew her words to be true. Minato had never been able to take his wife in a fight. With a heavy sigh, he walked past her and went to go pack his things. "You're going to regret this Kushina." he promised.
Glaring at him, Kushina reached out and grabbed him by the arm. "Don't threaten me Minato. If you dare to try and harm me or my family ever again, I will end you. Now hurry up, pack your shit, and get the hell out of my home!"
Nodding his head, Minato went to their room and began to pack up his things before going towards the room where they kept their scrolls and books on techniques and the history of their clans and other such things. At first he was going to take far more than just what belonged to his clan, but he saw his 'family' waiting there for him already. It would seem that they had already guessed his intentions and were here to make sure he didn't take more than what he was meant to.
With a growl, the Yondaime Hokage packed up what was his and left the room before making his way to the front door. Without saying a word, he sent one last glare towards Naruto as if to say, 'This is all your fault.' and left the house.
As soon as he was gone, the family of three turned and smiled at one another before they eventually decided to turn in for the night. After all, they had a big day tomorrow. As he went to his room, Naruto couldn't help but smile to himself. Today had been a rather interesting day for him.
First he had awakened a new kekkei genkai, earned himself a new fiance and friend in Satsuki, and now he had his family back. Sure there were some bad things that happened, but overall today was a pretty productive day. It was also a very interesting day. As he laid down to go to sleep, now in his his nightwear, he couldn't help but think back to Satsuki and how cute she was. Still, he just couldn't make sense of her behavior or the way she talked. Did she like him or didn't she?! It was really confusing. Oh well. He'd figure it out later. For now, he would just sleep and prepare himself for tomorrow. After all, tomorrow would be the start of a new life. A life without Minato plaguing his family. A day of new beginnings. And he just couldn't wait.
A/N - Well, how about them apples huh? lol. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. As you can see, Satsuki is a total tsundere. I honestly wasn't sure how she'd turn out when I planned the fic in the first place, but as I began writing her, she just turned out that way. So...yay for a tsundere Satsuki!
Anyways, a lot happened in this chapter! Good, bad, and just plain ugly things happened! Hopefully you liked what you read. I also sincerely hope you liked the reveal of Naruto's kekkei genkai and I hope you enjoyed Satsuki's character as well. I think she's absolutely ADORABLE.
Sooo...Minato, Jiraiya, and Fugaku are complete assholes. Sorry for people that like those characters, but yep. Them's the breaks. And sorry if you like neglect fics where Kushina and his sibling(s) treat him like shit, but I had no interest in making Kushina and Naruko be absolute shitty family members for him.
Also, Dragon and Sword Master and I have already planned out a group of girls to become samurai girls, but feel free to suggest those who you'd like to see become a samurai girl. I'm curious to see your ideas. I know who I'll be using, of course, and DASM might remember some of 'em as well, but if I see some good ideas and reasons as to why you think said girl would make a good samurai girl, then I may just take your idea into consideration!
Anyways, again, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Have a good day everybody!
