I woke up while having a bit of difficulty breathing, and I looked under my covers to see Yoruichi sleeping on my chest naked, again. Unfortunately, thanks to my raging hormones, all my blood rushed to my lower head. My annoyance outweighed my arousal as I knew the dark-skinned Kuniochi was doing this to mess with me. She is the most shameless woman I have met yet.
I sighed as I decided to be rough with her; I literally kicked her out of my bed. Yoruichi landed on her feet and yawned as she greeted me.
" Morning, Naruto."
Before, I would've taken a moment to admire her sexy toned body, but now I am too used to this exhibitionist. I stretched as I got out of bed, and the dark-skinned Kuniochi was, of course, stretching as well, erotically, I might add.
" This woman."
I thought with numbed exasperation; I think there would be no shortage of guys who would be jealous of me at being targeted by Yoruichi's teasing, which often involves her being nude or in tight form-fitting clothing. I went to get started on breakfast after stretching. I decided on a spicy fish and tomato soup to help warm up as there was a chill in the air.
And yet, the dark-skinned Kuniochi can walk around naked or in light clothing unbothered by the cold. Breakfast was quickly served, and Yoruichi commented.
" I really do like the fact you serve spicy food when you want to warm up, Naruto."
" Sure, sure."
I said back casually as I got my fifth bowl of rice to go with the soup. I could feel my gut burning pleasantly along with my mouth as I ate. I made the dark-skinned Kuniochi's coffee for her Chakra Control exercise and added some sugar as well to increase the difficulty; I set it in front of her before heading to my temporary forge. However, she stopped me before I left the tent.
" Hey, Naruto."
" Yeah?"
"You're leaving soon, aren't you?"
I wasn't surprised she picked up as I wasn't subtle; I had already packed up everything else aside from my and her personal tents, bath tent, and the kitchen tent. I nodded in reply before leaving the tent to finish working on one last project. Outside, there was a smelter and forge that had an roof and nothing else over it so I could work.
I tossed in the charcoal and lit them up with Fire Style, then pumped them with air. After everything got set up, I started melting down the Chakra Iron I mined from the mountains to make some ingots. While Yoruichi trained, I filled my day with making ingots and then using the folding forge method to increase their purity. Gintaro-sensei, my kitsune teacher, complimented me for getting an 80% purity in my Chakra Iron ingot. I was aiming for at least 95% purity, if not higher, because the higher the purity in Chakra Metals, the more smoothly Chakra can flow through them.
I hammered away to the point of madness pursuing my self-goal as I needed the highest purity Chakra Iron for my project. I had a Shadow Clone handle the rest of the cooking for today as I worked. I only stopped hammering to drink and eat before getting back to it. I wiped my sweat as I felt my throat dry again and grabbed a drink, then noticed it was nighttime. Time flies when you're focused on something.
I set down my tools for the day and let my forge cool before going to make myself a quick snack before going to sleep. I entered the kitchen to see Yoruichi working on her Chakra Control with the coffee filled with cream and sugar. I let her be as I whipped up a rice ball covered in some seasonings, then watched her try and separate the mixture's components.
The dark-skinned Kuniochi was getting there as she could separate the cream from the coffee, but the sugar was more difficult as it had almost completely dissolved into the coffee. I used a low-quality sugar that wouldn't dissolve easily into the coffee, but given enough time and stirring, it will dissolve. I watched her as I ate, and she was sweating up a storm until she finally succeeded.
" Yes, finally!"
Yoruichi cheered as she separated the coffee, cream, and sugar from each other. I was glad for her, and with Chakra Control out of the way, I can show her how to push her Lightning Nature Transformation to the next level for her Shunkō.
" Congratulations, Yoruichi-san. Tomorrow, I will show you my Lightning Nature Transformation exercise; it's late now."
" Yeah, sure. While I doubt you can, I am curious about what you have in store for me, but right now, I want a nice hot bath, and you can use one as well, Blacksmith-chan."
I went to the bath tent and added some fresh water into the oil drum before heating it up with Fire Nature Transformation. As the water steamed, I stripped and cleaned up before getting into the nice hot water, but before I could get comfortable, Yoruichi joined me by forcing her way in. A rule of thumb I have come to follow when handling the dark-skinned Kuniochi was to ignore her as much as possible as any reaction she gets out of me just makes her happy and more inclined to keep trying to tease me.
Yoruichi then commented as she started to unwind.
" You know Naruto, your weird, not in a bad way, but weird nonetheless."
I just rolled my eyes as I was trying to relax as best I could despite my little brother getting hard.
" If I tried this sort of thing with any other guy, they might have taken it as permission to grope me, and I would've either shocked or punched them in retaliation. Yet, here you are, cool as a cucumber while being hard and ready down there."
I silently scoffed as I knew she was just being her usual teasing self, and she pressed her breasts against my chest as she wrapped her arms around my neck. The feeling of softness distracted me for a moment before I pinched myself to keep my head on straight.
" No, calm down; she just trying to get me hot and bothered, then leave me with blue balls."
I reminded myself internally, as it wouldn't be the first time this shameless cock tease tried to drive me wild. She then asked.
" Say, Naruto, when did you plan on leaving?"
" After I help you master Shunkō and finish my current project."
I answered as I wanted nothing more than to smash this sexy, dark beauty in bed. Puberty is giving me hell; I am experiencing it earlier than the Original Naruto, probably because of my Body Tempering training jump-started it. I felt my blood boil and my mind gets hazy with lust. Enough was enough!
I grabbed Yoruichi, or at least tried to, but she slipped away from grasp. I saw her naked and beautiful with a playful smirk as she tagged her finger at me while saying.
" Tch, tch, not so fast, big boy."
I took a deep breath to calm my hormone-infused nerves, and all I felt now was annoyance and anger at being blue balled, again. The dark-skinned Kuniochi, with a smug smile said.
" I know I am beautiful, Naruto, but keep it in your pants."
My eye twitched at her shamelessness, and I hopped out the oil drum. I didn't bother drying myself off as I picked up the oil drum and threw it at her as I shouted with fury.
" FUCK OFF, YORUICHI!"
She just laughed as my voice cracked and slipped away as I stewed in my anger. Fucking woman! I try to be nice, and all she does is tease me and then leave me with blue balls and frustration.
________________________________________
It was about an hour before dawn when Yoruichi got up out of habit, not from her training as a Kuniochi but as a court lady. Her mother got her into the habit of waking up early to have more time to be more presentable by having servants apply makeup, style her hair, and dress her in complex, luxurious kimonos. The dark-skinned Kuniochi was tempted to just go back to sleep but got out of her futon that had tatami mats under it in her tent.
Yoruichi may enjoy pressing Naruto's buttons, as she recalled yesterday when she blue-balled him again. Still, she did appreciate him for making her time in these uninhabitable mountains more pleasant than it should've been. She stretched and left her tent naked, enjoying the morning chill against her skin as it woke her up. The dark-skinned Kuniochi then entered the blonde's tent and saw him snoozing away in a futon with tatami mats, looking relaxed and comfortable.
Naruto's breathing was different from the usual deep, relaxed breathing most people had while sleeping; it was more controlled and patterned. Ordinarily, Yoruichi would take this as a sign that he was awake at first until she figured out he trained, for whatever reason, to constantly breathe like this. It was the strangest kind of training she had seen, and her Uncle Killer B tried to teach her to rap in his style before her father used his iron claw on him for trying.
The dark-skinned Kuniochi walked up to the blonde and slipped under the covers to lay on top of him. Naruto was a very deep sleeper, a dangerous flaw to have as a Shinobi, but when Yoruichi pointed this out, he said he only entered a deep sleep when he was sure he wouldn't be attacked during it. This said a lot about his trust in her.
Yoruichi ran her fingers through Naruto's muscled and defined body while feeling a touch of envy at how smooth and flawless his skin felt; that had a very slight metallic feel to it. His skin wasn't like this before; it became like after eating that pill to expel toxins and dead cells forcibly and go through hell. The dark-skinned Kuniochi marveled at the blonde's body as she knew from carrying him before that it was densely packed with power, making him stronger than he seemed from his build.
Yoruichi rested her head on Naruto's chest to listen to his steady and strong heartbeat; it echoed slightly within his chest. She then felt his little brother harden into morning wood and smirked as she was going to tease him about being happy to see her. The dark-skinned Kuniochi decided to take a cat nap on the blonde until he woke up.
Despite her weighing on him, Naruto slept peacefully, and Yoruichi found his odd breathing pattern soothing. The blonde's breathing was always controlled and patterned, almost like a broken record. He finally woke up, finding the dark-skinned Kuniochi sleeping atop him again, like an overgrown house cat.
Naruto rubbed his eyes and grabbed Yoruichi by her ear. She let out a cute yelp in surprise, which made the blonde grin before telling her in a curt manner.
" Yoruichi, off."
He pulled the dark-skinned Kuniochi by the ear, making her exclaim.
" Okay, okay! Just let go already! I have had enough of being pulled by my ear by Mother as is!"
Yoruichi complied as she got off Naruto with a look of grievance, like a cat that had been wronged; the only things missing were cat ears and a tail to complete the look. The blonde stretched, not giving the dark-skinned Kuniochi's naked form a second look; he had gotten used to her exhibitionist habits. And she was trying to convince him she is a court lady, yeah, right.
Naruto whipped up a quick breakfast before getting into Yoruichi's next training phase. She asked as she ate.
" So how exactly are you going to improve my Lightning Nature Transformation? I am from Kumo, and Lightning Style is their thing there."
The blonde ignored the question in favor of eating his breakfast. The dark-skinned Kuniochi's eye twitched at being ignored so casually that she then had a mischievous smile. She held her chopsticks together and placed a small ball of rice at the end of it before pulling the chopsticks back and flinging the food projectiles at him.
Naruto looked up, adjusted his position, and opened his mouth, then caught the small ball of rice in his mouth. Yoruichi blinked a few times, looking stunned, before grinning like she had just found a new toy. Before she could prepare her next projectile, the blonde warned the dark-skinned Kuniochi, his voice calm but groggy from sleep.
" Yoruichi, if you're going to play with your food, I won't leave behind any precooked meals for you when I leave."
She stopped what she was doing and asked.
" You were going to do that for me? Leave behind some pre-made meals for me?"
Naruto grunted in confirmation, and Yoruichi processed his surprising amount of thoughtfulness; she figured he would just pack and leave after helping her train. Breakfast was soon over, and the blonde showed her the next training exercise he had in mind for the dark-skinned Kuniochi.
" This Lightning Nature Transformation exercise requires a delicate touch and patience to be good at it, but the gains you get from it can make your Lightning Style Ninjutsu far easier to control."
He picked up a random rock, and electricity started to crackle in his hand; what happened next stunned her silent. Yoruichi watched with her mouth hanging as the rock in Naruto's hand began to break down, first into smaller gravel, then sand, and finally a fine powder. He turned his hand and let the rock powder get caught by the wind and disappear.
" I have never even... how did you... my father going to flip... the implications..."
The blonde smiled as the dark-skinned Kuniochi was talking incoherently before patting her on the shoulder.
" Have fun; I'll be at my forge."
As Naruto left Yoruichi alone, she immediately grabbed the nearest rock and focused on her new training. She knew if she mastered this form of Lightning Nature Transformation, then not just Shunkō but all her Lightning Style Ninjutsu would be upgraded. The blonde folded the Chakra Iron dozens of times over in his forge, steadily making it more pure. He had his Shadow Clones make rice balls for lunch and dinner since he didn't want to leave the forge as he knew it was close to turning the Chakra Iron into at least 95% pure.
Night approached, and Naruto felt the call of sleep. He was satisfied; he did it; he got the Chakra Iron ingot at 95% purity at minimum. The blonde yawned as he went to his tent to sleep but found Yoruichi there, sleeping in his futon. For a moment, he thought he wandered into her tent, but no, her tent was next to his, and they were different colors to avoid confusion. Orange for him, an Amish to the original Naruto, and Black for her.
Naruto was too tired to care, so he slipped into his futon with Yoruichi snoozing away. Sleep came easy to him even as he was eager for tomorrow to start so he could forge the item he had in mind.
The following morning.
The blonde woke up to find the dark-skinned Kuniochi snuggling up against him, and a thought appeared in his head.
" When she's like this, peaceful, calm, she really is beautiful."
Yoruichi kept on sleeping peacefully, probably tired from her training yesterday, and Naruto made some Shadow Clones to get to work on breakfast as he gently shook her awake.
" Come on, Yoruichi-san, it's time to get up."
" Five more minutes, Dad."
The blonde was stunned at what he heard, and he wasn't about to let the dark-skinned Kuniochi live this down anytime soon.
" Now, Yoruichi-san, you know you call me Daddy instead."
" Five more minutes, daddy."
He couldn't, he just couldn't stop himself from laughing his ass. Naruto laughed so loudly it startled Yoruichi awake as she jolted up. She watched the blonde laughing up a storm and never saw him like this, so she asked.
" What's so funny?"
" You called me daddy!"
He answered before falling into another fit of laughter, and the dark-skinned Kuniochi denied the accusation as, for the first time in a long while, she was sincerely flustered.
" I did not!"
" You did while you were half asleep while I was trying to wake you."
Yoruichi felt mortified and embarrassed; it was never supposed to be like this; she's the one that's supposed to do the embarrassing and teasing. Naruto's laughter died down eventually as he wiped tears from his eyes and commented.
" I need that more than I thought."
The dark-skinned Kuniochi regained her composure and accepted she had lost this time around and wanted nothing more than to move on.
"Let's just get some breakfast."
" Whatever you say, baby girl."
The blonde said with a smirk, making her stunned at his sheer audacity; no one, not even her father, called her baby girl. She groaned quickly, realizing Naruto wasn't going to let her live this down anytime soon, and that was payback for all her previous teasing and pranks. With a sigh, Yoruichi went to get her breakfast with him before continuing her training.
Naruto started forging the high-purity Chakra Iron into a set of eight rings engraved with seals. He wasn't going Sauron from Middle Earth on the world, although the idea did make him chuckle and consider whether it might be possible. That aside he then worked on coating the rings in gold next for an experiment to see if he could layer different seals on top of each other by coating materials.
In theory, it should be possible so long as the seals don't get warped from the coating. He went with a modern method he remembered from his last life, a DIY electroplating. The blonde thoroughly cleaned and polished the iron rings before starting the process. Naruto followed the process step by step and grinned as he succeeded. It had been a while since he tried this; this was the first time in this life.
Now, he got to work on engraving a second set of seals on the gold plating. Using the utmost care, like a jeweler, he inscribed the seals, with a Shadow Clone tackling each ring with him. Soon, they were finished, and the rings the blonde made were ready to be tested. After a careful battery of tests, he grinned as the layered Sealing Jutsus worked as intended. The rings were perfect.
These rings could be considered a masterpiece, Naruto's first real work that was something truly special. He named them.
" The Rings of Might."
