The Shinobi Visitor

Chapter 49 - Kitsune No Yoru...

"Rasengan!"

Inari Okami smirked as he easily dodged the weird energy attack for the second time. Naruto Shunshined from the crater he created in hopes to hit the fox god from behind and slashed Tenkaichi, which was easily blocked and parried by Inari's sickle.

"Too slow~"

Patronus grunted loudly by Inari's kick as his feet created long trenches, attempting to slow himself down. He swung his sword once more but sent a wave of wind chakra at the god. Inari cut the wave in half with his sickle before he expertly swung his whip at the disguised ninja.

Seeing his younger opponent jumped high in the air, Inari's hand gave a small twerk as his whip's tip suddenly changed direction and wrapped itself around Patronus's leg. "Oh shiiiiittttt~" Naruto was pulled taunt and slammed into the ground by Inari.

Amidst the rubble, with a mighty display of power, Patronus freed himself and slowly floated up in the air as he glared at the smirking fox god. "He's messing with me…Let's change that." He crossed his index and middle fingers together. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

"Ohh~"

In the safe zone that was far away from the battleground, Inari's kitsune messengers and the Kodama watched with wonder as pillars of smoke surrounded their lord before it revealed numerous clones of the hooded one.

"Attack!"

Inari smirked as he put away his weapons and raised his fists in a basic form. Fists-to-fists then. He stunned the clones with his speed as he had already taken down half of their numbers with simple blows, counters and seamless Jutjitsu takedowns.

Patronus watched from afar with his clones as he observed the god's fighting form and recognized it as Baguazhang. The same fighting style as his Titaness wife's own. This was not going to be easy for him since he to this day have trouble against the martial art as he and Rhea are tied in their spars 49-to-49.

"If you're thinking too much, then you're not fighting."

His eyes widening, Patronus pivoted on his feet as he grasped Inari's fist in his palm with a small shockwave exerted from the contact. Inari used his leg to block Patronus's sweeping leg but he tilted his head away from a swift punch.

Sensing that he was smiling at him in the hood, Inari raised a brow only for his expression to change into shock as he was sent flying from his opponent. Patronus took his chance and reappeared behind Inari as he roundhouse-kicked him to the ground.

Inari rolled forward to soften the blow and quickly stood up as he entered a clash of fists with Patronus. Shockwaves boomed from the blows as they shook the ground. As it may seem to the audience that the duo was evenly matched, but that wasn't the case.

Patronus's head recoiled from a straight punch as Inari landed three more blows to his body. The fox god's arm stretched out from the last attack but Patronus caught it and flipped him over to the ground as he threw a punch coated with senjutsu chakra.

Inari managed to escape via one trick he learned/created. His body turned into a leaf that was obliterated from Naruto's punch that smashed the ground as another crater crumbled underneath his fist.

"The Kawari no Jutsu?!" Patronus exclaimed with surprise before he barely dodged Inari's counterattack.

The fox god chuckled at the descendant. "Who do you think gave him the idea of that particular jutsu in your world?" He charged at Patronus with his superior speed as the latter crossed his arms to block the attack.

"A lot had changed since you two last met and secondly…" Patronus's toad-like eyes glowed with power. "You've never met someone like me!" The ninja suddenly dispersed as sharp countless needles of wind chakra burst directly at Inari. "Futon: Kaze Bunshin no Jutsu."

Inari grunted as his body was bombarded and pushed back by the collective force of the wind needles. But he wasn't allowed a reprieve as his feet were suddenly grasped by hands protruded from the ground. "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!"

Before Naruto could drag Inari into the ground, the latter managed to escape by phasing his feet out of the ninja's hands as he took the skies in a single leap. "My turn…" He summoned blue flames in both hands before aiming them at the ground below. "See if you can withstand the heat. Buru Kitsunebi."

The blue fire stream dashed the ground as it quickly spread upon contact and filled the entire peak. The kitsune messengers marveled at their lord's signature flames while the Kodama worried about the Great One who brought him back to his native land.

Amidst the blazing azure flames was a lone figure as he moved his arms around erratically. Suddenly the flames began to swirl around as if it was obeying his command and revealed Patronus was safe with Tenkaichi drawn although his clothing were not. His robes and boots were burned to ashes along with his weapons except for his Nemean Lion bodysuit, the Adamantine Hidden Blades and rope darts.

With a clap of his hands after dropping the burning Tenkaichi on the ground, Patronus's cheeks swelled before he exhaled a very large cannon of water in the shape of a dragon. "Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu!"

Inari, seeing the attack incoming, emitted blue fire from his feet as he dodged the water dragon with a burst to aid him. However, the dragon missed him by a mile as it soon fell back to the peak and doused the blue flames with a mushroom-like smoke cloud.

"Raiton: Gian!"

With his wet hood saved from the flames, Patronus threw several spears of lightning rapid-fire at the airborne Inari who dodged them with some difficulty. He knew that lightning was fast in its own right but with Senjutsu chakra, it became even faster. Even then, it wasn't enough to hit the fox god.

At least that was what Patronus wanted him to think.

After Inari fired several fireballs at the ninja's spot in the dense smoke cloud, he saw a yellow flash-like lightning at the corner of his eyes and barely glanced in time to see Patronus slamming a Rasengan with white protrusions around it. "Senpo—Futon: Rasengan!"

Inari grunted loudly as his skin was being slowly shredded while plummeting to the ground by the tornado-like Rasengan. Patronus Shunshined above the grounded Inari and formed a regular Rasengan as it grew several times larger than the ninja.

"Senpo: Oodama Rasengan!"

"Inari no Kekkai!"

The senjutsu-enhanced Rasengan collided against a blue flame circular shield that had the symbol of a wish-fulling jewel that resembled the magatama. An explosion blew up the area near them as they were flung away from each other.

After regaining his footing, Patronus formed Futon: Rasengan except its four protrusions grew as it now resembled a shuriken. Inari saw this and smirked as he raised his right hand with a small blue flame in the palm. The flame instantly expanded to greater proportions like a miniature sun while Naruto's technique looked like a small moon from the distance.

The hooded Patronus stared into the eyes of his opponent as he was about to unleash his attack. That was until he heard whimpering cries from afar and looked with his enhanced eyes that it was Inari's kitsunes and Kodama as they hug themselves to the ground and tried to ignore the light that was brought by the combined techniques.

Realizing that they and the mountain would be destroyed if his attack collided with Inari's, Patronus sighed loudly as he cancelled his technique.

Inari saw this with his technique still active. "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Yes…"

"…" Inari sighed loudly as he looked to the sky with an exhale. "Very well. Then I have one thing to say…" He hurled his sun-like attack at Patronus who simply stood there with the intention to take the attack.

As the attack raced closer to him, Patronus closed his eyes and waited to be hit until he defended himself with his body. His legs stood firmly as the ninja body-hugged the blue flame-ball and coated it with Senjutsu chakra. "Can't let it explode!"

He exerted more Senjutsu chakra to completely contain the blue flame-ball as Patronus deflected it upwards to the sky with a swift kick. The ninja fell to his knees from the action as he felt his Sage Mode beginning to slip from active.

Inari stared at the panting Patronus who lifted his head and stared right back at him. The fox god liked the look in his glowing eyes of power as Patronus brought out his Pivot Blade and formed another Futon: Rasengan.

"I give!"

Patronus was so surprised that he snapped out of Sage Mode and his Rasengan as the chuckling Inari had his arms up in a surrounding gesture. The fox god contorted his body with audible cracks.

"Impressive, young one." Inari chuckled once more. "It's been a while since I was able to let loose a little." He noticed the young immortal was still wary of him. "Come on now, I don't bite."

Patronus scoffed. "But you can fight."

"True but I'm not your enemy." Inari answered as he waved his hand around him.

The peak's ground was blustered with green vegetation, trees as it was quickly fixed as good as new. Naruto was impressed and knew that it was to be expected from the kami of agriculture. he quickly felt a pit in his stomach and found himself, Inari and the kitsune audience inside a grand hall that goes with a traditional Japanese house.

The colors of the walls ranged from yellow to orange to blue like Inari's flames as ancient tapestry depicting certain legends like Inzanagi and Izanami creating the islands of Japan. In the center was a moderate deep circle filled with pillows and a kotatsu.

"Your clothes are filthy." Inari waved his hand once more as Patronus's clothes glowed red.

Naruto braced himself but felt his body was fresh. He looked at his burned hands and found them to be completely healed by the glow as the ninja noticed his clothing. It was the same black color design with the orange lines going from the arms and shoulders as they met the Uzumaki Clan swirl in the middle of his back.

However, it was his robes that changed as it was no longer a haori but a full-length cloak with a beaked hood anf form-fitting long sleeves. Underneath the cloak was a navy blue long-sleeved shirt and black pants as they hid the Nemean Lion bodysuit from prying eyes along with a new purple belt that had the Assassin insignia in the front. He wore new black boots that were perfect between tight and loose.

Naruto inspected the belt and felt his rope darts along with a new pouch were attached to it. He flicked his wrists and watched his Hidden Blades emerged from the inside of his sleeves with a sigh of relief. With a hidden smile as he retracted his wrist blades, Naruto reached for Tenkaichi's pommel only to grasp nothing but air.

"If you're looking for your sword, I'm afraid I have unfortunate news about it." Inari said somewhat solemnly as one of his kitsune held the sword with its mouth.

Watching Inari take his sword, Naruto finally noticed the unfortunate news: its black blade was melted. The once daito was nothing more than a bubbling and smoldering mess. He fell to his knees as he was despondent over the loss of his sword.

It wasn't just a weapon. He forged it with his own hands albeit with some help by Shikaku. He trained with the blade every day and it saved his life plenty of times, especially against Kronos back in Soul Universe. Now it was destroyed by Inari's blue flames.

"I'm sorry but blue flames are the hottest and strongest types." Inari boasted a little as he sat seiza in front of his guest. "Sit, please." He urged gently as the hooded ninja assumed the same position like him. He pulled something out of his sleeve and revealed it to be the S.H.I.E.L.D. touch-screen device. "And you won't need this anymore."

Naruto watched him crush the device in his palm. For some reason, he was happy when Inari did the act.

"I understand you're confused by all this but if you listen to me, then not all is lost."

"What do you mean by that?"

Inari tilted his head as his kitsune sat around them while the Kodama took its position atop Patronus's head. "A gift, but first I must tell you about my history with your ancestor."

"…I don't know what you're talking about." Patronus lied after some hesitation. "This Sage of the Six Paths is not my—"

"Chakra is it called, correct." Inari interrupted with a small smirk, shutting his guest up. "Your chakra is similar to his own but with some minor differences as well." He raised a small brow as he sensed something else within the young immortal. "The presence I felt during our battle… there's no question that it was godly. It seems he can control it but very briefly."

"I…" Patronus tried to think of another lie but saw Inari wasn't going to buy it either. "How do you two know each other?"

"Sake!"

Naruto face-faulted since it wasn't the answer he expected at all as Inari laughed loudly with his children. The Kodama looked at the Great One weirdly as he poked Patronus's head a few times. The ninja sat back up as he was offered sake by the kami and accepted it reluctantly.

"Banzai."

"Banzai." Patronus hesitated before he drank the sake in one gulp.

"After getting your butt whooped for it to sink in I must say." Kurama said lastly with a smirk.

A tick-marked Patronus growled lowly as he kept himself composed in front of Inari. "You'll pay for that later, Kurama. I promise you that."

"Ooh~ I'm so scared~" Kurama replied mockingly.

"Young one?" Patronus was snapped out of his internal argument by Inari's words as he looked at him with slight concern. "Is everything all right?" The fox god asked once more.

"F-fine! Everything's fine." Patronus quickly responded with a stutter. "Um…Sake. Could you elaborate that, Lord Inari?"

Inwardly smiling at his manners, Inari answered the ninja. "I was walking about in Kyoto for a nightly stroll when I sensed a powerful energy—his chakra. I went to the bay where I sensed it and there I found him carrying a woman in his arms."

"This was after the Himiko incident." Patronus thought as he listened more.

"He thought I was there to fight him but I managed to explain myself through sake." Inari continued narrating. "Your ancestor was hesitant at first, but he eventually realized I meant no harm. And the priestess with him was very surprised to know my identity. So surprised that she pledged herself to my shrine for eternal servitude." The fox chuckled lowly.

Patronus had to ask after hearing that. "Does that mean…"

"She's the head miko at Fushimi Inari Taisha." Inari answered before elaborating, "I gave her immortality and eternal life."

"…" Patronus stayed silent as he pondered about something that bothered him on the island. "Is she by any way an ancestor of Sam?"

"Yes."

Naruto blinked owlishly at the simple answer. "Uh, okay." He didn't expect to get a straight answer from the kami. "I guess that explains why Himiko wanted Sam." Patronus whispered to himself.

Unknown to him, Inari had very good ears as he smirked a little. He knew that Sam was his priestess's descendant since the fox god kept a close eye on all her descendants. Unfortunately, Inari couldn't intervene due to an ancient law that forbad his pantheon from interfering with mortal affairs unless said affair impacted them directly. However, Inari knew that the law is reaching its end as it stayed active for the 700 years.

His queen, Amaterasu, wanted humanity to learn to absolve problems without physical interaction from the gods. There were some like Inari who did not like the law but their queen assured them that it was a trial run for the imposed law.

Even so, Inari knew that Sam and her friends wouldn't survive until the law ends so he had to intervene discreetly of course. He discreetly influenced Sam's father to watch the news of Patronus. He discreetly gave clues about Patronus's capabilities to save Sam and her friends along with his lost child and the last Kodama.

And he was very pleased about the young one's performance during their spar. Despite his power being measly as compared to the height during Japan's ancient times, Inari was glad to still push his friend's descendant for a short time.

"Your ancestor and I became good friends during his time here in this dimension." Inari continued, bringing Naruto's attention to him once more. "In fact, I was pleased to know that he trusted me enough about your mission."

Patronus stiffened as he stared at the amused smiling Inari who looked like a fox after pulling a good prank. "This was a test of sorts." Naruto said after realizing everything that's happened shortly after his arrival in Kyoto. "You knew who I was the whole time."

"Yes, I do…Child of the Prophecy. But I would really like to know your real name as well as a face to go along with it."

The Uzumaki ninja sat there in the seiza position as he pondered about whether to show his face to a kami he doesn't know and who in fact fought him just a few minutes ago.

His pondering was interrupted by Ashura. "Naruto, I distinctly remember my father telling me about a fox who got him drunk one night long ago. He never mentioned the name but told me that the fox is a good friend to have at one's side. I think this is him."

"Are you sure, Ashura?" Naruto asked quickly. "I mean this is pretty vague—risky at most. He could harm my family and—"

"Naruto, you and I both know that the three of us will do everything we can to protect them. Especially me." Kurama interjected honestly as Naruto was still hesitant. "Besides he's a fox god. How many of those are we going to encounter and have as an ally?"

"…"

"Child of Prophecy?"

"Naruto." Patronus finally answered as he pulled down his hood, revealing his tan-skinned whisker-marked face, blue eyes and his blonde hair. "I am Naruto Uzumaki of the Uzumaki Clan. It is a pleasure to meet you, Lord Inari." He said before giving a bow of deep respect.

"You too, Uzumaki." Inari replied with a respectful bow.

From there, the two allies conversed with one telling the other about their lives in their respective dimensions such as Inari being born and Naruto learning and mastering the Rasengan.

(Three Hours Later)

- Osaka International Airport -

It was a mess with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Immigration and Customs, but it was finally time for Lara and her friends to go back home. Fury had returned to his Helicarrier with most of his agents while Captain America was with them to make sure they get on the plane safely.

Sitting from her seat that gave her the view of everything, Lara looked around her entourage and smiled at them as they were doing different things at the same time. Alex, Sam and Jonah were in a playful debate about what drinks they should get drunk once they return to London. Grim was near a charging station where he was smooth-talking a surprisingly attractive flight attendant despite her similar age.

As for Roth and Reyes, they were sitting on the row seats with their hands interlaced as the latter had her head on his shoulder. She overheard Reyes telling Roth about their daughter and he was furious at her for keeping their offspring a secret but quickly calmed down afterwards.

Seeing them together made Lara remember the happy times with her father. The happy times when she and her parents spent happy moments long before her mother's death and her father's obsession with crazy theories. She wished her parents weren't taken away from her but life wasn't fair to her.

It made her more independent and self-aware of the world, but it also made her put up a wall to shield herself.

This wall protected her through her years in university but it was cracked when Sam came into her life. She made Lara be more outgoing and confident in her studies and social life. The wall began to break when she met others like Grim, Jonah, Alex and lastly Patronus.

She hadn't felt this way since her father's death but Patronus helped her be the person she is today. She just realized that she never properly thanked him for all he's done for her and her friends. Now she could only hope for his living.

"Girl…" Roth called for her as she looked at him. "They're calling us."

"Right." Lara finally said before she followed her friends to the gate of their plane. Sam's father paid for the London plane as he was in the United Kingdom city, so he will wait for them. "Let's go."

Her rag of clothing was replaced with new fresh, clean clothes like her friends. Lara grabbed her bag that was full of some artifacts she found on the island as she followed her friends through the sea of incoming and outgoing passengers.

In the middle of the room that housed the gate, Lara tripped on the ground by someone's else foot and dropped her bag. "Damn it, why don't people watch where they're going." She was putting her stuff inside her bag before her hand reached for the last item.

An opposing hand grabbed it instead as he gave the fan artifact to her. Lara didn't bother looking at the stranger as she stood up. "Thank you for your help." She said before leaving for her plane.

"Requiescat en pace (rest in peace), Lara." The stranger replied simply.

Lara stopped in her tracks with widened eyes as she turned around to look for him, only to find nothing but the heads of different passengers. Happiness filled her up as she knows now that he was alive and he came to see her off.

"Grazie (Thank you)." Lara replied in Italian before she met Roth who waited for her at the gate's door.

Roth noticed his ward beaming brightly. "You look like you hit the jackpot, girl."

"I did. I'm glad I did." Lara responded softly as she looked back for the last time. The time to find any sign of Patronus watching her but she knew that she would see him again. "I just hope he realize as well."

"Who?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Lara answered with a cheeky expression.

Roth blinked before a smile etched his mouth as he realized what she meant by that. He shared chuckles with Lara while they boarded the plane.

Outside on the rooftop of the airport terminal, a stealthy Naruto in civilian clothes with a plain hoodie watched the plane that housed his friends fly away from the runaway and to the skies. "Sayonara (Good-bye)."

After he finished saying his good-bye, the ninja Hirashined back to his ship with the signature yellow lightning flash.

(Two Hours Later)

- The Cove, Homestead Grounds -

- Forested Massachusetts -

Saeko stood near the deck of the cove as she watched Ashla chased his younger sister around. There were a few stumbles from the twins but that didn't stop them from having fun. Raicho flew above them to keep an eye as he was an unofficial sentry for the Uzumaki Clan.

It wasn't long until the Thunderbird saw something afar with its enhanced vision and screeched loudly to warn its owners. Saeko looked to the horizon and saw the object that got closer to their cove as she grabbed her children in her arms.

Happiness and relief washed over her as she recognized it to be the Aquila and likely her husband steering it. She and her children watched the ship's anchors drop to the cove waters before she saw an unhooded Naruto in his new Assassin robes gifted by Inari de-board on the plank.

Naruto and Saeko stared at each other as the latter had tears in her eyes before she ran into his arms. In response, Naruto held his wife and children tightly as much as he can along with a few deep kisses. Ashla and Masaki cooed from the multiple kisses by their father as they hugged him too.

"Welcome back, dear." Saeko said just before her lips was puckered into Naruto's deeply.

The kiss lasted a full minute before Naruto separated in exchange to lean his forehead against Saeko's. "I'm glad to be home. I love you all."

"I know."

A screech drew their attention before Raicho landed on Naruto's head and pecked at him.

"It's good to see you too, Raicho." Naruto greeted happily as Raicho cooed. "Did you take care of everyone?" A nod came from the Thunderbird. "Good boy."

That's when Sui slithered out of his new robes and rubbed against her lord's head, much to Raicho's chagrin. The Thunderbird screeched and the Hippocampus neighed back before she jumped off Naruto's shoulder for the cove's water.

Raicho flew above the cove as sparks fizzled around his wings while Sui's head popped out of the water before she fired several sprays, attempting to hit the airborne creature/housemate.

The Uzumakis chuckled at the playful banter as they chose to surprise everyone else of their husband's return.

TTIIPMxTTIIPMxTTIIPM

- Uzumaki Manor, Homestead Grounds -

It was clear to Naruto that his wives missed him very much due to their death-bringing tight hugs from each one. The twins laughed at each hug since they thought it was funny to see their father's reaction and he couldn't blame any of them.

After Rhea made Naruto some delicious homemade ramen, the entire family sat in the living room as they listened to his adventure. They were stunned to hear about Yamatai and the confrontation between the Sun Queen and the Sage of Six Paths, the cute Kodama on the island which also stayed in Fushimi Inari but none of them were ready about the latest kicker.

"You met Inari, the god of foxes and rice in Japanese mythology, just a few hours ago?" Saeko asked with awe.

A nod came from Naruto as he bounced the twins on his lap, making funny faces at them. "Uh-huh." The ninja muttered loudly. "Who's cute? Who's cute? You two are!" He cooed at his children who grabbed his nose and mouth. "That's my kids."

"Naruto~" The entire Uzumaki ladies called him, bringing him out of his playing stupor. "Please continue." Medusa said.

"Right, right." Naruto said as he continued the story. "Anyway, it turns out that Lord Inari and my ancestor are friends. They met back in ancient Japan and it turns out Inari knows about my—our mission."

Kuroka tilted her head as she tried to understand his words. "Does that mean…"

"He's our ally who's privy about us in this dimension." Rhea finished for her husband as he nodded. "Does that mean he knows about us?"

Naruto shook his head. "No, not yet anyway." Quizzical looks came from his wives. "I know, I know, but I want to keep info about you girls and the kids close to my chest."

"Naruto, won't that break Inari's trust?" Medusa interjected as she watched Ashla pull on his cheeks. "I mean that's not like you."

"I did say that I have close people who are very dear to me and want to keep their identities in full closure." Naruto answered honestly. "Lord Inari understood that and told me whenever I'm ready to tell him about you all. He's actually a pretty chill god."

Kuroka giggled at her hubby's words. "I bet since he gave you new clothes." She pointed at Naruto's new cloak and the clothing beneath it that consisted as his Assassin robes. "Is there something special about them?"

"Actually yeah." Naruto chirped. "Lord Inari said these robes are flame-resistant to the highest level as well as much more durable than most clothing." His face morphed into that of realization. "And there's this." Naruto gently handed his children to Saeko next to him as he had his hand out with palm facing outward.

A small blue orb appeared in his palm as it morphed into a katana sheathed in its scabbard. The scabbard was bright red like his mother's hair with trims of yellow around the edge. The katana's hilt was colored deep blue with a golden fox head for its pommel as Naruto drew the katana out of the sheath, revealing its light blue blade for all to see.

"Amazing…" Rhea said in awe at the magnificence of the sword. "What's its name?"

Naruto chuckled at her question. "You're not going to believe it." He got looks from them that said 'Try us'. "Its name is Kogitsune (Little Fox)."

Saeko was so stunned that she almost dropped the kids. And she would have if it wasn't for Naruto's quick reaction. Ashla giggled while Masaki looked a bit annoyed from the action until she noticed the new sword on the table.

"Saeko, you got to be careful with them." Naruto warned as he cooed at his children. "Don't worry, kids. Mommy didn't mean that." Naruto sat back next to Saeko and noticed that she was still staring at the sheathed sword with the widest eyes.

Kuroka, Rhea and Medusa looked at Saeko with concern as the former snapped her fingers in front of her. "Yep, I think you broke her, hubby. And that wasn't even in the bedroom." The Nekomata said nonchalantly with the smallest teasing smirk.

"Kuroka!" Medusa and Rhea chastised the Nekomata as the latter whistled to ignore them before she cooed at the twins.

"Mine!"

Both husband and wife hissed at each other before they entered a game of cat-and-mouse around the house while the kids laughed the entire time. As for Rhea, she and Medusa had the task of bringing Saeko back to her senses with one simple method.

"Rock-paper-scissors?" Medusa asked after a while.

Rhea shrugged her shoulders. "Sure."

The duo played a round and the winner was the former priestess as she crouched in front of her stoic fellow wife. "Trust me, Saeko. This hurts me way more than it'll hurt you." Medusa said softly as she pulled her open palm for the slap.

Before she could, Saeko reacted swiftly as she punched Medusa straight at her left breast, drawing breath from her as she fell to the floor. The mother swordsman flexed a little as she looked around the environment while Rhea stared at the downed Medusa.

Her gaze switched to her fellow wife. "Welcome back, Saeko." Rhea greeted simply.

TTIIPMxTTIIPMxTTIIPM

It was sometime after Kogitsune-maru's reveal that Naruto walked to the room upstairs as he gently placed his children in their cribs. It was a long day for the Uzumaki Clan as they strolled around Boston like a regular family, much to the twins' delight and especially the women. It was during that time he also told them about the unfortunate fate of his previous sword, Tenkaichi, and they felt sorry for him.

Naruto knew they missed him dearly and he was the same about them. It was days like this that made him aware of life's sudden turns and grateful for every minute he spent with his family.

Smiling at his children's sleeping forms as they held onto his fingers tightly with their tiny hands, Naruto watched them sleep a bit more before he gently pulled his fingers out of their grip and covered their bodies with blankets. He walked to the doorway and paused to look back at the cribs before closing the door of the room.

The ninja reached the living room where Saeko inspected the sheathed katana with such awe. As for the others, Kuroka, Medusa and Rhea were walking around the Homestead grounds doing their usual daily routines at the night.

A chuckle escaped his lips as Naruto sat next to Saeko. "You like it?" Saeko jolted in surprise before she nodded meekly. "I thought so." Naruto said as he hugged her closely while she gave him the katana. "I couldn't believe myself when Inari gave me this sword. The only time I heard of this blade was in a play."

"The noh drama Sanjo Kokaji." Saeko informed him as she cuddled next to him. "The legend tells of the famous blacksmith Munechika has been assigned by the Emperor at the time to forge him a sword worthy of his status. Munechika accepted the assignment and during the process, Inari Okami and his fox spirits aided him after asking for help."

"With blue flames." Naruto said off-handedly. Saeko looked at him with a quizzical look. "Lord Inari can manipulate fire—Kitsunebi, he called it." Naruto barely flicked the katana's circular tsuba to reveal the blue blade. "This explains the color."

"I think it's cool. Did you know that its nickname is Kogitsune-maru after the young child who was actually Inari Okami." Saeko said as she put away the sheathed sword on the table and sat on her husband's lap, straddling it. "But I also think that you should make something else up."

"Is that so." Naruto answered to both statements as he placed his hands on her hips. He stared with an amused smile as Saeko slowly took off her blouse and revealed her purple-laced bra that held her bountiful breast. "Oh God, I missed you." Naruto whispered as he snatched Saeko's lips.

The husband and wife kissed deeply as they swiftly took their clothes off and revealed them in their underwear. Naruto got up while Saeko slid down on her knees in front of him with her head close to his boxers as she rubbed against the bugle within. Saeko looked up with lustful eyes as she ripped off the boxers and stared at her husband's staff.

"My dear husband, you missed me~" Saeko cooed as his staff became stiff against her cheek. "Very much apparently."

Naruto laughed before he moaned upon Saeko's tongue licking his staff. "Oh God…" He gulped as he watched Saeko massaged his stones with her hand. "Come on, faster." He whispered as she massaged faster while engulfing his staff into her mouth. "That's it."

Saeko's head bopped up and down slowly as she enjoyed the feeling of her mouth being full of her husband's dick. As minutes passed, she felt her mouth being filled with spit and pre-cum as the fluids began to leak out through her lips. Naruto, feeling lustful during that time, decided to speed things up a bit as he grabbed her head with his hands.

"Naru—" A muffled Saeko barely said before she felt his dick going in and out of her mouth very fast. The spit and pre-cum escaped from her mouths by droplets as she gagged loudly from his dick while Naruto continued thrusting into her mouth strongly. With each thrust, she felt her pussy become wet as it dripped down through her legs. "God, I want him in me."

As if he heard her thoughts, Naruto pulled his dick out of her mouth, spilling the fluids within as he picked Saeko up and placed her on the couch with his head in front of her pussy. Looking upward, he saw Saeko's flushed face before diving into her hole with his tongue going full throttle.

Saeko gasped loudly from the sudden contact before her hands held onto his head to guide him. Naruto's tongue thrust from right to left as he drank some of her fluids before suddenly fingering her without warning. She gasped again from the action as her husband reached for her mouth and claimed her lips with passion.

Taking his fingers out of her, Naruto and Saeko stared at each other before the former angled his staff in front of the latter's entrance. With no words, he entered inside her as they both moaned loudly from the contact. Saeko nodded at Naruto who thrusted into her as the sounds of flesh slapping against each other.

Saeko clapped her mouth to stifled the moans to prevent waking up their children as his thrusts got faster and harder with past moments. Naruto clasped Saeko's breasts and massaged them rather softly as he sucked on them, much to both their delight.

Suddenly, Naruto released her breasts as he grabbed one of Saeko's legs and placed it on his shoulder, thrusting into her in that position even greater. Saeko couldn't contain her moans at that point as the pleasure was too great by the new position while her breasts bounced in rhythm with his thrusts.

Feeling that their time was ending soon, Naruto increased his thrusting even more as Saeko moaned louder and louder until they reached their peak. Joyous screams emerged from them as they cum together at the same time with Naruto slightly resting on Saeko's body.

Saeko panted heavily along with Naruto as they stayed connected while their joined fluids leaked out of her pussy. "Damn it *pant* *pant* Now we're going to have to clean this up." Saeko muttered softly with a small smile. "At least, we'll do it together."

"*chuckle* Of course, my dear." Naruto answered as he kissed her deeply.

"Ah~"

Naruto sunk into the private large pond as relief washed over him with the waterfall in front of him. After helping Saeko with cleaning their love fluids off the floor, Naruto wanted to take a bath after his three-day excursion on Yamatai. As his purple-haired wife, she chose to sleep on the couch to rest from their love-making although she wanted to go another round later in the bedroom.

"This is heaven~" Naruto said with relief plastered on his face. "I needed this." He looked to the tree nearby that held his casual clothes with his headband, Hidden Blades and the recently-acquired Kogitsune sat at the base. "Good, they're still there." He closed his eyes afterwards.

It had been an unbelievable few days for him. He saved Lara, Sam and friends from an Yokai-infested island, stopped an immortal queen taking Sam's body, met/befriend one of Japan's kami and received a new sword to replace his melted Tenkaichi. What was most surprising about Kogitsune is that it is a Divine-type weapon having been forged by a god, meaning that it is far and above stronger than normal-type weapons.

Of course, this meant that he will have to train with his new weapon to get used to it, but he didn't mind it at all.

The sense of peace ended as Naruto sensed a familiar energy approaching from behind yet he made no move in favor to relax in the pond. The source grew closer and closer as the branches rustled to signify her approach. Naruto felt the slight ripples in the water and opened his eyes as he looked to his right and saw a beautiful sight.

It was Rhea with her black hair freed from the ringlet style she usually had it. The ends of her hair reached the water while her skin glowed slightly from the moonlight reflected in the surface. Her brilliant green eyes looked at his blue eyes as they scooted closer together while Naruto had his arm around Rhea's shoulder.

"Hello, my goddess."

"Hello, my king."

Rhea and Naruto's lips touched with the most passion they could muster being in each other's presence. Unlike with Saeko and Kuroka since they like his rough approach, he was gentle with her due to her tragic first marriage with Kronos. After all, he made a promise to protect her.

After disengaging, Rhea noticed her husband sneaked a couple glances on her breasts that floated on the water surface and chuckled. "You really are a breast man, dear." She giggled as Naruto chuckled rather sheepishly. That's what she loves about him since he turns into butter whenever they are together. "I love you, you know that."

"Of course. And I love you too." Naruto responded softly as he kissed her forehead.

"It's been a while when it was just us."

Naruto's eyes shot up in realization. "You're right. Sorry about that, Rhea." He sighed while rubbing his cheek. "Things were so crazy lately and with all the hero stuff to add to that. I'm sorry. I'll work harder to spend more time with you girls and the kids."

"I know you will. That's just who you are." Rhea stated lowly as she rested her head on his shoulder. "You will always find time for us." The plan she had for coming here was about to begin as her hand moved slowly to his bottom half. "And it's about time you make some for me~"

"Duh!"

A wide-eyed Naruto looked at his sultry goddess wife whose hand had grabbed his staff in the water. "Really now? My Rhea is taking the initiative~ I like that." Naruto smirked before he gently kissed her on the lips while their bare bodies touched as Rhea sat on his lap.

"I know that you and Saeko did it in the living room." Rhea teased, much to his surprise. "I recognized the smell since after all, I drank some of your seed."

Naruto chuckled as he claimed her lips once more while she continued to rub his staff a bit faster. He grunted as his hands grabbed her large breasts and squeezed them gently while Rhea moaned softly. The former Titaness had her arms around his head to pull him closer to her as he licked sensually on her skin.

The two lovers kissed once more as Rhea guided herself above Naruto's staff and, with a moment of nodding between them, she lowered herself. She gasped lowly as she felt him inside her while her arms wrapped around Naruto's frame.

Naruto in response wrapped his arms around her as he began to aid her bouncing up and down in their stationary position. Rhea's moans grew louder and louder in the gradually rising yet gentle pace as the water splashed around them and out of the pond.

Seeing her beloved enjoying her riding him, Rhea had a smirk as an idea popped in her head. She decided to liven things up a bit by pushing Naruto down into the water while still riding him albeit wildly now. "That's more like it."

Naruto at first was surprised by her sudden action, but realized that she wanted to change things a bit this time. He simply laid on his back underwater since he can breathe with no problem while his hands held onto Rhea's hip to guide her as she rode on his cock.

Rhea laughed in ecstasy as she briefly stopped and turned herself around with her back facing Naruto while her front was exposed to the glazing setting sun in the sky. Naruto's hands gripped on her hips slightly tighter as he began feel her pussy sucked in his cock further.

Smirking at his wife's obvious delight at taking charge this time, Naruto suddenly rose from the water and positioned a surprised Rhea on all fours as the dripping ninja smirked at the lustful goddess. "My turn." His hips slammed into her hips as soon as he said the last words.

Rhea chuckled loudly as she felt him going in and out of her while her head was pulled back by Naruto's handful of her black hair. And if that wasn't exciting enough, she gasped as Naruto pushed her head into the water while splashes sprayed all around. After a few seconds, Naruto freed her head from the water as she gasped with splatters of water escaped her mouth.

Instead of her being angry, Rhea liked it as she cooed for more.

A smiling Naruto pushed her head in the water once more while he continued to ram into her. This continued for ten minutes until Rhea was freed from the last round as Naruto carried her with his arms hooked under her legs while she fixed his cock inside her.

The ninja walked out of the pond before he thrust in her while standing as Rhea met his thrusts in the middle. The two moaned with each met thrust in the cold wind as Rhea claimed his lips once more while Naruto dug in his tongue into her mouth.

Feeling each other tightening, Naruto and Rhea voiced her thoughts.

"I'm going to cum, Rhea!"

"Me too!"

Naruto increased his pace as Rhea screamed from the sudden action while her fingernails drew blood from his skin but neither cared about that. At last they couldn't hold it as the duo came at the same time while their fluids joined together inside Rhea. Naruto straggled a little as he let Rhea to her knees as she sucked his dick to clean up any remaining seed.

"You're so beautiful." Naruto remarked at his goddess-wife who looked at him with his dick bulging her right cheek.

"I know I am." Rhea replied muffled while their juices began to flow out of her pussy.

The goddess conjured a blanket out of nowhere and used it for both her and Naruto rest as they held each other in their braces. Happy to be together once more.

The slightly sore but fully clothed Naruto popped his joints as he walked to the cove where his ship was anchored. He was wearing his casual clothes with his Hidden Blades in full view along with Kogitsune strapped to his back like his previous sword. His trusty Konoha headband was tied around his forehead as it always was since the day he became a Genin.

After carrying the naked Rhea back to their room for a nap after their love making, Naruto wanted to check the Aquila for any sign of damage that may have been inflicted by Sui's battle with the Umibozu. Upon reaching the ship, the Uzumaki ninja inspected the bow from the bow, the main deck, the quarter deck and lastly the stern. Once that was finished, Naruto checked the inside of the ship just to be sure that were not any holes in the hull and whatnot.

During his search, he realized that there was a lot of space for many ideas in his mind that could improve the ship's capabilities for future battles and possibly for the other dimensions. But for now, that will have to wait since he needs materials and people who can be trusted with his secrets.

"I wonder if I can put the Fidelius Charm on this ship." Naruto muttered as he got on the main deck and walked to his captain's room. "That way, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't track either me or the ship anywhere in the world." He nodded at himself as he opened the door and entered his spacious room.

Only to find his last two wives laying on the queen-sized bed, staring at him with lustful expressions as they wore different outfits. Kuroka was wearing a black-laced see-through night gown that did little to cover her breast and legs as her hair was free from her orange band. As Medusa wore a blue/gray Greek chiton that revealed one breast while her orange-red hair curled freely and her blue eyes sparkled at him, enhancing her beauty.

Naruto gulped nervously as he fought to suppress his urge to pounce on them. "Girls…how long have you two been waiting here?" Medusa sent him a deadpan stare.

"A good three hours." The former priestess muttered as her elbow were sore and not from the usual good reason.

Naruto chuckled nervously while Kuroka stared at him, more specifically his pants. "Sorry, Medusa. I didn't know." He answered as he walked to his wives. "But I see you two are dressed for something sensual I assume."

Kuroka raised a teasing eyebrow at Naruto's knowing tone. "Oh Hubby, you know what we're here for. We haven't felt you for the last few days." The Nekomata said sensually as she crawled to the edge of the bed. "And we both know about you being with Saeko and Rhea."

Oh, right. Nekomatas have sensitive ears so she must have heard everything about him being with Rhea and Saeko.

"And~" Medusa interjected as she too crawled towards the bed's edge before sitting on her knees and rubbing Naruto's shoulders. "Neither of us wanted to wait for each other's turn so we wanted to share you~"

The ninja looked between his wives and saw that they were serious about this and he knew that they were not going back down. He chuckled lowly while Kuroka worked to get his pants off as Medusa did the same with his shirt and weapons. Medusa was the first of the duo to claim his lips as they kissed passionately while Kuroka began to stroke his staff slowly as she licked his stomach.

With a discreet use of his wind chakra, Naruto cut the straps of their dresses as they show their bare bodies to each other like husband and wives should. Kuroka claimed her prize as she sucked her hubby's cock into her mouth while her eyes bored up at him.

Medusa, not wanting to be outdone by her fellow wife, grabbed Naruto's head and smothered him into the bouncing safety that is her breasts. She chuckled perversely at her husband's tongue protruding between the valley of her mounds until she was surprised by Naruto's next action.

He Shunshined out of their brace and quickly laid them on their backs with his dick hovering above them as if he was teasing them. Naruto smirked at their lustful gazes and chose the one who desired it more.

"Ah!" Kuroka pouted when Naruto shoved his dick in Medusa's mouth deeply while he licked her pussy. "No fair! I wanted it, Naruto!"

Naruto stopped licking and looked at Kuroka. "There are other things you can do, Kuroka." His eyes gestured to the spot in front of him. She got the hint and scooted in front of him as he continued to dig his tongue inside Medusa while her mouth was deepthroated by his cock.

Kuroka sat on her knees while displaying her pussy in front of the busy Naruto as she fingered herself while rubbing her right breast. She moaned along with Naruto's grunts and Medusa's choked gag reflexes. The priestess gagged loudly as her mouth could not contain the built-up precum and spit while her pussy was getting ready for the main event.

Naruto gasped as he raised his head in time to be doused by Kuroka's womanly juices. He licked the juices off his lips as a smile met his Nekomata wife while his cock stopped deep inside the gagging Medusa. Deciding to up the mood, Naruto quickly created a clone who took Kuroka on his own while he stayed with Medusa.

"Yay! My own Naruto!" Kuroka cheered before having her tongue taken by the clone.

Naruto smirked as he continued to ravish Medusa's pussy and deepthroated her mouth once more. It lasted for a few more minutes until Medusa couldn't handle it anymore and shoved Naruto off of her as she breathed for fresh air.

"Damn it, Naruto! You know how much I don't like it when you deep-throat me for so long!" Medusa complained at the sheepish Naruto while Kuroka was being deep-throated by the clone very roughly.

Naruto chuckled as her held Medusa's face close to his own. "I'm sorry about that, dear, but your mouth felt so good that I didn't want to stop."

"S-stop it!" Medusa said meekly despite the flush in her cheeks. "Flattery won't—" She was cut off when Naruto claimed her lips once more.

As Naruto laid Medusa on her back and entered her pussy with the bed shaking, Kuroka was being dominated by the clone as she was pushed against the glass backdoors with her breasts pressed against it. She meowed ecstatically as her hubby clone plowed into it while holding her arms close to him, controlling her completely and she liked it.

"Yes, yes! Come on, give it to me!" Kuroka pleaded before she cried out when Clone Naruto grabbed her hair to pull her face closer to him as he claimed her lips to muffle her moaning meows. Her legs began to falter from the repeated thrusts into her hip and it was only with the clone's arms that kept her from falling to the ground.

Medusa's moans grew as Naruto turned her around and raised her butt higher while her upper body clung closer to the bed. Naruto's thrusts soon became slow yet stronger thrusts as he gripped onto Medusa's voluptuous ass with his thrusts.

Minutes passed and the quartet felt that they were about to reach their limits as the clone carried Kuroka over to the bed and had her on all fours next to the laid Medusa before he thrusts into her once more. Naruto and his clone smirked at each other for they dominated the women throughout the time and increased their thrusts into the moaning and lust-filled women.

Kuroka and Medusa looked at each other and smiled at being rammed by their loved one and his clone as their limit was very near. Close in fact. "Naruto, we're coming!" Both women shouted as the thrusts grew faster than a minute later.

"We are too!" Both Narutos shouted as they reached their climax.

Kuroka and Medusa gasped when Naruto and his clone cum inside them as they felt his fluids. The clone gave a fist bump to his creator before dispersing, leaving an exhausted Naruto to tend two lustful and sexually-deprived wives.

"T-That was good." Medusa stuttered as drool escaped her mouth.

Kuroka giggled nonchalantly at the incredible love Naruto displayed both for her and Medusa. "More, hubby. More~" When she didn't get an answer, she and Medusa craned their heads and saw a sleeping Naruto on the floor. "Oh~ Maybe next time."

"You're not really going to pass this up." Medusa stated with a smirk that was matched by her fellow wife.

The two then slowly crawled from the bed to the sleepy and clearly happy Naruto as one of them rubbed his dick to full length for another round of fun.

Unknown to him, Naruto was smiling as his thoughts had one sentence. "My life is good!"

(Two Weeks Later)

The cloaked Naruto rolled onto the roof he jumped to soften the impact as he transitioned to free-running across the telephone lines to another building. His attire fluttered against the wind as his sword, Kogitsune, was strapped to his back just like Tenkaichi was once held before.

After two weeks back home, Boston was still safe due to his presence so he decided to cut his patrols from Mondays to Thursdays for now to spend even more time with his family. His time at home gave him time to train and properly wield Kogitsune despite his skill in swordsmanship.

As he ran, Naruto suddenly spun around and drew Kogitsune as he slashed through whatever it was that followed him with the blue blade. He sheathed his new weapon as he inspected the mechanical device's two halves since it was originally a sphere.

"Is that a camera?" Patronus asked himself when he noticed the cracked lens.

His eyes caught another sphere-like machine as it floated around him with its lens zooming in and out on him. He was about to cut the machine in half with the blue blade if it wasn't for the envelope that it held with its arm-like protrusion.

Naruto cautiously took the envelope, opened it and read the contents as his head scanned from sentence to sentence. When he was done, the ninja had one question that he asked no one except for the machine.

"Who the hell is A-Bomb and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.?"
