Eroninja

Rangiku sat up in her bed surprised to be there. Rubbing her head which ached something fierce she said, "Urrgh, don't tell me this feeling accompanies drinking." Guessing that something as good as liquor had to have a bad side, she thought, "I guess there is a reason for the saying, all things in moderation."

It hurting her just to think so she got out of bed again wondering how she got there as the last thing she remembered was falling out of her chair in the dining room. Making her way to the door as the room still seemed to be spinning slightly she channeled her chakra in order to try and heal the apparent damage she had done to herself. To her surprise her condition didn't approve much although it did make the light peeking into her darkened room not hurt as much. That lasted until she opened her door and the illuminated hall caused her to feel as if twin spikes had been jammed into her eyes and right into her brain. Holding a hand to her now throbbing skull she shouted, "Kiyomi."

Not receiving a reply, she went in search of her sisters hoping one of them had a cure for her first hangover. Knowing that it would likely come at the cost of being berated by the others, as she had quickly gotten distracted with her new favorite drink while her sisters had tried to explain things to her, at that point Rangiku didn't care just so long as they made the hurting stop.

A loud scream filled the hall, which despite it hurting Rangiku's head caused her some alarm as it had sounded like Yoruichi. Her, pain momentarily forgotten she ran towards the room that it had come from and threw the door open intent on honoring the repaired bonds she hoped lasted forever this time by defending her stricken sister. Yet the last thing she expected to see was her three sisters sans their clothing, with Kiyomi straddling her former host and her face buried against Yoruichi's mound.

Kiyomi turned towards the new arrival revealing that her face was covered in a wetness that seemed to be leaking from where it had just been placed. Yoruichi seemed oblivious to everything as she fell over on her side exposing Naruto face and a similar wetness there as well. Everyone stopped what they were doing for a moment, before Kiyomi turned away and began riding Naruto's dick again after saying, "Good morning Rangiku. Did you sleep well?"

Naruto moaned unable to stop himself despite finding himself concerned at the arrival of the new Bijuu. Seven following Kiyomi's example began to rub her sister's cunt as she began to lick Yoruichi's essence from her sisters lips before kissing her.

Rangiku, felt a jumble of emotions, but finally settled on confusion at what was going on. It also was due to her body beginning to tingle between her legs where she saw Kiyomi was connected to her former host. "W-what are you doing?" she asked wondering why the nubs at the end of her breasts were hardening and why she was tempted to mirror Seven's action of pinching them as she was doing to her own. She suddenly found herself wishing she had read the magazine she had been shown in full instead of just the article about how having big-breasts could make a man putty in her hands and thus easier to manipulate.

Kiyomi was too busy approaching her orgasm, so Seven took it upon herself to answer her sister, "We're enjoying the perks that we told you taking these form afforded to us."

"I...I thought that was making it impossible for us to be sealed into people or the Gedo Mazo," Rangiku said beginning to squirm ever so slightly as Kiyomi's moans took on a feverish pitch.

Seven smiled as she replied, "No, that's a side-effect. This is a benefit." She then rubbed Kiyomi's clit causing her sister to bury the hard totem of flesh rising from Naruto's legs as deeply as it would go as she screamed, "Cumming!" Advertisements

Rangiku watched as the sack hanging from the object apparently giving her sister the time of her life contracted. Not sure what that signified she got a hint as Kiyomi shouted, "Your seed...it's flooding my womb...mmmm so much cum."

Seven helped Kiyomi off and prevented Naruto from sitting up as she climbed over him. Facing her sister, she stood squatted over him with her legs spread widely apart. Reaching down and finding her lover's dick still hard she said, "You're still this hard. Don't tell me you like being watched by Rangiku."

Naruto figuring he might as well role with things gave Seven's ass a playful smack as he replied, "Now don't be trying to paint me as some kind of pervert. What man wouldn't be aroused being surrounded by four beauties?"

"Oh you charmer," Seven said sending a smile over her shoulder towards her lover. Focusing on her one-tailed sibling she said, "Rangiku, let's pick up our lesson from where we left off last night." Stroking her lover's cock she began, "This is a penis. Other terms that are appropriate would be cock, dick, or in our case Bijuu tamer." Reaching between her legs, she spread her drenched nether lips as she continued, "This is the vagina, I'm sure you'll pick up other ways of naming it as you learn more about your new form." Lowering her slit to Naruto's cock she finished, "But, when vagina and penis become one an indescribable pleasure is the result." She moaned as she was penetrated by her lover and quickly began to fuck herself on Naruto's dick. Getting turned on as her sister watched she said, "You can get a hint of that pleasure by teasing your pussy yourself."

Rangiku guessing that pussy was another term for where Seven was currently connected to Naruto. She reached into the robe she was wearing and ran her hand down her mound. While not feeling anything at first when her finger made contact with her hooded but aroused clit, she gasped.

Seven smirked at the face her sister had made before laying her back against Naruto's chest. Raising and lower her hips with her legs she said, "I'm guessing you've found your clit. Go a little lower...mmm yeah that's it...give your slit a rub."

Rangiku followed Seven's direction and also began to mirror Naruto's action of tweaking her nipples as he was the Bijuu currently giving her a grand view of the area they were connected. Rangiku curious, slid a finger inside her as she leaned against the door frame to keep from toppling at the pleasure building within her.

Seven abandoned the lesson to dance her tongue around Naruto's as Rangiku watched on. Pulling her hand from her breast she moved it to her mouth and pushed her tongue against her finger in a similar manner as the kissing lovers. Wondering what it would be like with when engaged against another tongue, she watched as Seven went stiff as a board as she moaned into Naruto's mouth. His nuts contracted again, as he deposited his seed in the brown-haired Bijuu turned woman.

Rangiku sunk to the floor as she wondered what her sister was feeling as although she was feeling good imagined it paled in comparison to what Seven was currently experiencing. Kiyomi and Yoruichi having recovered from their own orgasms stopped petting their mounds. Yoruichi began to drink the seed Naruto had just deposited in Seven's quim after he had slipped from her tunnel.

Kiyomi approached her kneeling sister noticing Rangiku's eyes traveled to her pussy as the one-tailed Bijuu noticed some on Naruto's seed leaking from her. Staring up at her red-headed sister, Rangiku said, "I want to try it too."

Kiyomi wasn't surprised as she said, "I'm sure you do. But you should know that if you take Naruto as a lover. You'll in turn find yourself being bound to him. Is that something you're sure you want?"

Rangiku's eyes drifted to the bed where she saw Naruto once more engaged in a dance of tongues with Seven. Wanting to experience the contentment she had seen on each of her sisters' faces she nodded, "I'm sure."

She accepted a hand up from her sister, who stepped behind her and pulled the robe she was wearing from her body. Clearing her throat to get the three on the beds attention, she waited until she had it to say, "Rangiku has decided to put herself in Naruto's care." Focusing on her lover she added, "Naruto, please take good care of my sister."

Naruto stood as he approached the naked beauty. Rangiku blushed as she watched his eyes drink in her form. He came to a stop in front of her causing the Bijuu to say nervously, "I...I might not be any good...please don't hold that..."

"Shh," Naruto said cupping her chin surprising her with his warmth. "Rangiku, thank you for trusting me enough to become my lover."

The Bijuu felt a smile despite the nervousness that she was experiencing as she looked at her sisters on the bed and then back at Kiyomi before replying, "You've come highly recommended." She wasn't sure why she felt happy at the smile that appeared on his lips, but then didn't give it much thought as he pulled her into a kiss. She wasn't sure what to do at first, but felt his tongue swipe against her lips. Opening her mouth, she closed her eyes as his tongue sought out hers prompting her to swirl it around his.

She moaned as he then reached up to fondle her breast with his right hand. Her body began to respond to his actions as she threw her right leg up over his hip. Feeling his hardened dick pressed against her slit, she began to instinctually rub herself against it. Both of them moaned at the contact which for Rangiku turned into a groan as he pinched the nipple of the tit he was fondling and gave it a tug. He broke the kiss and pushed her heavy breast up to his mouth which he sucked on. Rangiku leaned her head back, as she pleaded, "T-the other one too."

Naruto did as she asked, bathing her neglected tit in attention before pulling back out of her grasp causing her to pout. Before she could complain though, he picked her up in his arms and carried her towards the bed where her sisters had begun to entertain each other. Naruto set her down gently kissing her lightly and then began leaving feather light kisses along the way. Rangiku felt her body tense in anticipation as she realized he was making his way to her hairless s.εﾒ. Kneeling at the foot of the bed, he pressed his lips to her lower ones and proceeded to give her a deep tongue kiss.

The strawberry blonde gasped as she spread her legs wider to give him more room to work. Naruto thoroughly explored her snatch, finding her taste as intoxicating as the sake she had force fed him the night before. Her moans as they mixed with those of her sisters were a beautiful symphony which he wished he could record to play back later. Sensing, he was nearing a climax he pulled his mouth away causing her to call out, "N-no...don't stop..."

"Stopping wasn't what I had in mind," the jinchuriki said standing at the foot of the bed as he took his position between her legs. Reaching out to cup her face and placing his thumb against her mouth which she began to suck on he said, "But I want to experience your first climax with my dick buried inside of you."

Rangiku wanted to experience it as well which she showed by cooing appreciatively around his thumb. Moving his hand from her face, he brought it down to her breast to give it a firm squeeze. Rangiku moaned, as Naruto slid his dick against her slit coating it in her essence before lining himself up with her entrance. Naruto pushed in slowly and was glad he had taken the precaution as he pressed up against a natural barrier. Looking down warmly at the woman, he said, "Rangiku this next part is going to hurt. But bear with it and I promise you'll feel better soon."

The Bijuu nodded feeling the fear of the unknown as Naruto began to slowly withdraw from her. She screamed though as he pushed forward and tore something inside her. Wrapping her legs around his hips she cried out, "It hurts...don't move..."

Naruto brought his face to hers as he leaned over her and kissing her tears away said, "Tell me when you're ready." He then began to kiss her deeply in order to take her mind away from the pain of losing her virginity. As the kiss dragged on Rangiku was surprised to find that her hips seemed to develop a mind of their own and began to rise up in an effort to receive more of the cock stretching her insides. Naruto to his credit didn't move until she ended the kiss to inform him, "The pain's fading...you can start."

Naruto slid back until he nearly slipped out prompting the Bijuu to use her legs wrapped around his ass to pull him back towards her. She moaned as Naruto fought her eager pulling to insure he entered her slowly. She moaned out happily as he increased her pleasure by focusing his talented tongue to tracing around one of her diamond hard nipples as his hand squeezed her other breast.

Soon though, she found herself holding on for dear life as Naruto pounded her at a blistering pace as he hunched over her with his hands on her hips. Her hands helped in holding him up as she placed them against his hard chest. Moaning loudly, and feeling something incredible building within her, she prepared to embrace the new feeling whole-heartedly. But then Naruto just stopped causing her to look at him desperate to experience the promised pleasure. "No, don't stop...I'm so close."

Naruto unhooked her legs from behind his back as he brought one up and over his shoulder. Continuing to turn her while remaining connected, he pulled her on to all fours as he pressed his chest against her back. "Don't worry Rangiku; all good things come to those who wait. I promise that you'll soon get the release you are looking for."

Rangiku's response was a moan as Naruto began to fuck her from behind as he groped her heavy breasts. She felt her face flush as she looked ahead to see her sisters watching her intently as she experienced the pleasure that had so enraptured them as she had forgotten they had been in the room. She felt the return of the feeling she had before and had to admit that it seemed even stronger than she remembered. Still as Naruto pulled her up to present to her fellow Bijuu the spot they were connected she twisted her feet to rest behind his thighs as a sign that she didn't want him stopping halfway this time.

Something Naruto had no intention of doing as he pumped his dick up into her tightly gripping snatch. Rangiku threw her head back against his shoulder as she came loudly her body shaking in his arms as internally her muscles milked him for his seed. He gave her body what it was working for as he pressed his hips tightly against her shapely ass. Rangiku came a second time as she felt what Kiyomi had described earlier. Feeling light-headed she whispered, "Incredible," before being allowed to gently fall forward.

When Rangiku came to she found Yoruichi lying on her side as Naruto knelt on the bed behind her. The dark-skinned Bijuu moaned in release as he began to fill her with the warmth that Rangiku could still feel moving about inside her. When Naruto slipped out of her folds, the newest Bijuu turned human surprised her sisters by being the first to take the cum coated dick into her mouth. Wanting to experience more she tried to coax him back into her, but found there were two other Bijuu that had been waiting their turn and didn't appreciate someone cutting to the front of the line. Still, after several hours four thoroughly satisfied Bijuu lay strummed about the bed asleep, leaving one very tired Jinchuriki and a very horny Uchiha to stare up at their respective ceilings.

Kiyomi as one of the village's important business leaders sat and watched as the new Clan Councilors were sworn in to their duties by Tsunade. Looking about the room, she saw Naruto sitting next to Ayame and thought back to the end of her lovemaking session from several days ago between him and her sisters. After coming to and finding her former host awake she had asked if he was keeping tabs on Konan via her foxmark. She hadn't been surprised when he told her that he was as while he wasn't sure what she was planning, knew she likely planned to handle it alone.

He had listened intently as Kiyomi had explained to him what she thought was going to happen in the near future. She had then explained to her lover what she would need for him to do when the time came. She had also after they had both cleaned up introduced him to Sage. She could see some of the unease at her manipulating minds return upon his meeting the young woman. But after explaining to him, the orange haired young woman's origins had seen it disappear if only for the time being.

Her thoughts were pulled back to the present as Rangiku's voice cut in, "This is so boring." It earned her a pair of sharp elbows to the sides by both Kiyomi and Yoruichi.

Leaning in as her sister rubbed her abused sides, she whispered, "I told you that you didn't need to come."

"You also said there would be a party afterwards," Rangiku responded just as quietly. But it still earned them a quick, "Shh," from the people sitting behind them.

Tsunade finished swearing in the Clan Councilors that were replacing those lost during the fight against Pain. She had them stand and face the crowd which erupted into polite applause. Kiyomi's gaze first settled on the woman that would be representing the Nara, Yoshino. Despite having heard from Naruto how passionate the woman was, to Kiyomi she appeared to be almost disinterested in the proceedings. Wondering if the change was a result of losing her husband, Kiyomi was concerned that might make her someone opposed to Naruto's goals of bringing the Shinobi Village's together. Having spoken briefly with the Hokage about it, she knew that Tsunade didn't believe that would be the case. But believed that having given up her shinobi career to attend to her family's needs, now found herself adrift without a rudder or purpose. Something, Tsunade believed her son was likely hoping she would find as a member of the council which is why he had nominated her.

Her gaze next settled on Konohamaru and knew she didn't have anything to worry about in regards to the boy. Quite well aware of how the new Sarutobi Clan Head looked up to her lover, she believed that if Naruto asked for his help he would willingly give it.

Kiyomi's gaze shifted next to the positively glowing Ino, who had succeeded her father as the Yamanaka Clan head. Although, her father had recovered enough to leave the hospital, his injury and the time that would be required to master the Suna made prosthetic leg made him step down as leader of the Yamanaka. He had nominated his daughter and due to her actions during the Pain Invasion as well as a few possible opponents to her nomination had recently made the mistake of supporting Fuu Yamanaka; she had easily been elected to the position.

The last one to be sworn in had technically been a member of the council for several months, but due to her illness she had never formally taken the oath. Yakumo Kurama also beamed happily now that she could officially claim her position as councilor.

Kiyomi knew that it was a bit calculating and cold-blooded of her, but she couldn't help but be pleased that with the new incarnation of the Clan Council as she could count three of the four members as Pro-Naruto. Now with the Kurama, Senju, Yamanaka, Inuzuka, and Sarutobi clans backing her lover she knew the council was locked up. She knew Naruto could begin to perhaps seduce some of the Civilian Council, but since the final decision of foreign policy was handled by the Clan Council it would be a waste. Also, aware that her lover's recent conversation with the Fire Country Daimyo had made him aware that he needed to more actively focus outside of Konoha. She smiled as she had several ideas of how to help him succeed. The Grand Opening of the Whirling Tide's Manor would be a great venue to begin spreading his influence to some of the people that held power outside of the shinobi villages, but she knew that would be months away. Karin though would soon begin spreading the seeds to also lock up the other two villages that Naruto's influence had reached as she had upcoming meetings in both Kumogakure and Sunagakure, where she would discuss the possibility of opening Branch offices for the Great Tree Shipping Company. Depending on how well that went, as well as Karin's plans to buy the major port Gato's company had used in Wave, Kiyomi believed it would only be a matter of time before Kirigakure started seeing some of its kunoichi join Naruto's ever-growing Harem.

Kiyomi stiffened as she felt a sense of both dread and anticipation course through the network of women connected to Naruto. She noticed that Rangiku not used to it didn't notice but Yoruichi and Seven had. Directing her gaze to Naruto, she saw he was also sitting straighter. Tsunade aware of the feeling as well cut the applause short as she said, "Alright, enough of the formality. Let's get this party started."

"Yeah" Rangiku was about to shout and throw her hands into the air. But was stopped by Kiyomi and Yoruichi, able to see the seriousness written on her sisters' faces she said, "We're not going to party."

Standing and following the crowd out the door as she felt Naruto, who had been one of the first to leave, Hiraishin to Ame, she answered, "Oh I wouldn't be so sure of that. I think Naruto will be sure to send the invitation so that we can throw Akatsuki a surprise party."

*****

Konan's confrontation with Tobi had gone exactly as she planned as she watched her Paper Ocean Technique continuously detonate. Despite knowing Tobi could only remain intangible for five minutes at most and was unable to teleport when using it, she nevertheless planned to let the full ten minutes worth of explosive paper she had prepared go off. Still, she felt a sense of euphoria as she said, "Yahiko, Nagato, it's finished with this your dreams of peace are sure to become a reality."

"Celebrating would be a little premature, don't you think," Tobi said from behind her.

Konan's eyes opened wide in surprise and although she didn't see it she could practically feel the rusted pipe he intended to jam into her back. "How..." She began to question but a red flash rendered it mute as a hand clamped around the scrounged weapon preventing it from reaching its destination.

Instead it was Tobi's turned to be surprised as he asked, "What the devil?"

Naruto forced the piped back into Tobi's stomach and due to his surprise arrival was pleased when he felt it meet with the resistance of the masked man's gut. Clamping his free hand on the man's back he forced the weapon deeper until it poked out of his back. Naruto then tossed the man away from his lover.

Despite his new injury on top of the arm he had lost due to Konan's jutsu Tobi landed on his feet and glared at Naruto as some of his mask, which had also been damaged, fell away. Although most of his face remained covered Naruto was immediately struck by the fact that behind the portion that led one to believe Tobi only had one eye there was another Sharingan. A Sharingan that now appeared to be blind, although in a different way than Sasuke's had looked after he had been hit by his Rasenshuriken.

"It was foolish of me not to consider that Konan's allies weren't still keeping tabs over her," Tobi said standing. "I won't make that mistake again. Konan, I will reclaim the eyes that I gave Nagato. You may think the actions of your youths were your own, but you, Nagato, and Yahiko have always been dancing to my tune. This betrayal won't go unpunished."

He began to warp away causing Konan to move to stop him, but Naruto grabbed her arm. She looked back to see Naruto's angry gaze and although upset at his letting Tobi get away. She could see in his eyes that he was just as upset and more at her for attempting to deal with the master manipulator alone. Her gaze softened as the realization that if he hadn't arrived when he did then she would likely have met her end and Tobi would have the Rinnegan sunk in. Her legs grew a little weak at the thought and Naruto effortlessly picked her up in his arms. He began to walk towards her village and seeing his angry gaze staring off into the distance softly said, "I'm sorry."

Naruto sighed letting his anger bleed away before looking at her with a soft gaze that conveyed how relieved he was that she was okay. Konan felt a little self-conscious being on the receiving end of such a look coupled with his holding her in his arms. He looked off to the horizon again and beginning to carry her over the lake that surrounded her home said, "Konan you told Nagato that you intended to be a pillar to the bridge we want to build towards a brighter future. A pillar standing by itself is useless. Don't forget that there are plenty of people willing to be your pillars as well, those who will stand with and support you. A future without you in it is a future that would be a great deal dimmer then it otherwise should be."

Konan was touched by the man's words and felt her heart open up more to him. But despite the touching moment she reminded him, "Tobi, got away though."

She was surprised though when Naruto chuckled as he said, "I'm sure that's what he thinks also."

*****

Tobi appeared in his hideout at the Mountains' Graveyard. Pulling the pipe from his abdomen with a yell he tossed it away signaling to Black Zetsu his return. "I take it you didn't acquire the Rinnegan."

Tobi sent an angry glare towards the Zetsu that had been imbued with a part of the will possessed by Madara Uchiha. "I would have if that bastard hadn't interfered."

"I assume by that bastard you mean the nine-tail's jinchuriki," the serious Zetsu asked although his tone made it clear he knew the answer. "First he cripples Sasuke and now denies us the Rinnegan. The boy sure gets around."

"He'll get his..." Tobi said before trailing off. He was about to activate a jutsu that would reveal if he had been marked by the seal used for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but then the whole mountain shook as a massive explosion sounded from its depths. Activating the jutsu, he felt the seal Naruto had applied to his back burn off as he raced to the sound of the commotion.

He came to a halt as he entered the hall where the Gedo Mazo was stored after he had teleported it there. Standing before it was Five Women one of whom he immediately recognized as the Animal Path that Pain had used to replace the one destroyed by Jiraiya. The woman turned towards him revealing that she possessed the Rinnegan. Several white Zetsu began to appear from the ground to surround the women prompting the red-head that seemed to resemble a short haired version of Mito Uzumaki said, "Deal with these annoyances so Sage can synch up with the statue."

"With pleasure," a busty blonde said as she turned towards Tobi and the Zetsu in front of him. Wearing a flowing black robe which was held closed by a white obi tied around her waist, the woman made a hand-sign as she projected ash from her mouth. The multiple Zetsu in front of her moved to attack, but with a hand gesture the ash flew to engulf them before she called it back and revealed viciously slashed bodies left in its wake. A Zetsu managed to get close in an attempt to punch her, but the ash appeared between them and solidified into a barrier that blocked the blow. She then had it engulf the Zetsu where it spun around it like a tornado leaving a bloody mess behind when the plant like man emerged. Rangiku watched as more Zetsu appeared in the hall and sent her ash streaming down it before snapping her fingers causing it to erupt into flame.

Tobi turned intangible as Black Zetsu managed to escape the hall before the fire washed over him. The hall collapsed, causing Tobi to appear from the stone and he collapsed as a result of his injuries and low chakra. Black Zetsu pulled him to his feet and away from the rubble of the hall causing Tobi to say, "What are you doing? We need to protect the statue."

Black Zetsu shook its head as it felt the frightening pace at which the white versions of itself were being destroyed replied, "We need to preserve ourselves and what resources we can. If we die here Madara's plan will cease and if we don't act fast the Sharingan that we have harvested will be lost. Without the Rinnegan we cannot control the statue to move it and you are in no condition to teleport it. This base is lost, but if there is one thing Madara knew how to do it was to slink off into the shadows to let his enemies drop their guards."

Tobi cursed as he began to move under his own power and felt helpless as years of careful planning seemed to be undone in an instant. Promising vengeance and that his ambition wouldn't be denied he warped out of the mountain base to leave the task of saving what resources they could to the Zetsu.

*****

"I have successful linked with the Statue," Sage informed her mother as the Gedo Mazo turned its gaze to her.

"Excellent," Kiyomi said pinning a Zetsu to the wall with a chakra claw before retracting it causing the plant creature to sink to the floor. "Ladies we're leaving," she called out to her sisters.

"What already?" Seven asked hurling a kunai that shot away almost faster than the eye could follow as it was propelled by a magnetic force which blasted a hole through several Zetsu. "We can handle these chumps. Let's just smash these freaks and take the statue at our leisure."

"Remaining serves no strategic purpose," Kiyomi countered. "There seems to be a near endless supply of these things and they are likely hoping to keep us here as that masked bastard escapes. They're also probably trying to secure whatever they can before abandoning the base. The only way to deal with that would be to split up which would open us up to a counterattack. We've secured our goal, let's be satisfied with that. We'll return later to see if there are any clues we can use to hunt them down later."

The other Bijuu gathered around her as she teleported them to a field far removed from any nearby villages or towns. A moment later Sage summoned the Gedo Mazo to them and the women made short work of the Zetsu that had clung to the statue after they had left.

Yoruichi shuddered as she stepped before the thing that was the husk of the being they had once been before their separation. Looking at her sisters she asked, "What now?"

Kiyomi looked to her daughter and gave her a nod. Sage leapt up and landed on the statue's head where she sat assuming the same lotus position as the statue. The Rinnegan possessing woman remained motionless for almost an hour. Yoruichi had waited patiently expecting something to happen but finally turned towards her sister to say, "That wasn't exactly an answer."

"Be patient," Kiyomi said with a roll of her eyes, "We're all in uncharted territory here."

Finally Sage after another hour said, "I believe I have successfully separated the Three-tails from the statue's grasp and should be able to release it."

Kiyomi frowned concerned as she asked, "Are you saying they began to meld into one being while in the statue?"

"Not quite," Sage answered, "But there is a hunger that recognizes they are the key to its becoming whole again. Like something inside it has begun to awaken."

Kiyomi nodded filling the information away, "Please do so then."

Sage nodded and the statue's multiple eyes shot open as a stream of chakra began to emerge from its mouth. The stream landed on the ground in front of the statue and began take shape. Kiyomi shared a look with her sisters and saw they were as excited as her as the form began to solidify into the three-tailed form of Isobu. It roared upon being freed of the statue and Kiyomi approached it smiling happily.

"Isobu," she called, "This may come as a shock, but it's me Kurama."

The Bijuu's visible eye focused on her but Kiyomi didn't see any hint of recognition at her using her old name. Sensing danger she leapt back just as the Bijuu's three tails smashed into where she had been standing. Rangiku cursed as she shouted, "Hey you dummy. I know our chakra has changed but it should feel familiar."

The turtle turned towards her before firing a water ball at her. Kiyomi appeared in front of her, and covering herself in red chakra that took the shape of her nine-tailed form yet left her still visible, was hit by the jutsu in the chakra constructs chest. Rangiku leapt out of the way as her sister skidded back as a result of the impact. "What the hell is wrong with Isobu?" she shouted as Seven caused the turtle to be flipped onto its back by creating a spike of stone underneath it.

Yoruichi landed next to Kiyomi and asked, "You don't think it's a result of her being inside her host when he died do you?"

Kiyomi nodded sadly as she answered, "It seems a likely explanation. All the rumors I've heard claim that the current Mizukage killed the previous one without transferring Isobu. Nobody heard from it until Isobu suddenly appeared in a lake before ultimately being sealed by Akatsuki. The Leaf encountered it there, but they said it had been acting more like a wild beast at the time. I just assumed they thought that was how we acted when without a host."

Isobu flipped back onto its stomach using its tails and rolled into a ball that charged Kiyomi. She caught the rolling Bijuu and struggled to keep it in place as it continued to spin like an Akimichi using Human Boulder. Seven helped out by causing a pair of stone pillars to shoot out of the ground and impact with the turtle on the sides. The stone pillars acted as a brake forcing the turtle to stop spinning allowing Kiyomi to smash her chakra constructs fist into the turtle's head stunning the Bijuu.

Dropping the chakra cloak surrounding her, she reached into her kimono's sleeve and tossed the scroll she pulled out to Yoruichi. The dark skinned woman caught the scroll and opening it unsealed one of the bodies that Kiyomi had acquired during the Prison Break.

Kiyomi landed on Isobu's shell and applied a seal that likewise appeared on the torso of the unsealed body. Isobu once more turned into chakra as it was absorbed into its new form. Rangiku and the others watched on as the body began to morph into a new shape. The hair turned green and grew longer as a crimson mark appeared across the woman's face. A large scar began to take shape from her forehead down to her nose that made the Bijuu watching the transformation concerned. When her transformation appeared complete a curvaceous and well-endowed woman laid before the Bijuu. But then much to their unease and dismay she began to glow again before shrinking to a childlike body.

"What happened," Yourichi asked concerned as she knelt to cradle their now childlike sibling after covering her with the orange jacket she wore.

Isobu began to stir and opened wide innocent looking hazel eyes that watched the women cautiously. Kiyomi knelt down and as gently as possible asked, "Isobu...are you alright?"

"I-Isobu," the girl said sounding the name out. But not recognizing it asked, "Who's that?"

The women all shared a look before Kiyomi informed their fellow Bijuu, "That's your name."

The three-tails stared at them before laughing as she said, "That's not my name."

Confused, Kiyomi asked, "Then what is it?"

Pausing and obviously making something up the green-haired girl said, "Um... Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck."

Kiyomi smiled before saying, "Very well Nel."

"What you're going to let her pick that as a name?" Rangiku said still upset at not being allowed to go by the name Shukaku.

Kiyomi silenced her with a glance before turning to the girl as she asked, "Do you recognize us?"

"No," Nel answered before happily answering, "But I like you."

Kiyomi smiled as she said, "Well I like you too. That's pretty common between siblings."

"I don't know," Rangiku said still miffed, "I'm not liking you all that much at the moment," earning a slap to the back of her head from Seven.

Nel laughed at the look Rangiku sent towards Seven prompting the blonde to drop her complaint as she smiled at her sister. Kiyomi ignored the exchange behind her and asked, "Nel, would you like to go home with us."

Nel nodded her head rapidly as she answered, "Yes, very much so."

"Good, then can you behave while we free the rest of our siblings?" Kiyomi asked the diminutive Bijuu. Nel nodded so the red-head moved to stand before the statue as she addressed her daughter, who had used the time during the short battle to set about freeing the next Bijuu. "Sage, are you ready?"

"Yes mother," the woman replied, "Should I keep the next one in a state of flux to prevent any further misunderstandings?"

"You read my mind," Kiyomi said proudly also noticing that one of the black dots in the statue's eyes had faded.

Sage activated the statue causing another steam of chakra to pour from the mouth of the Gedo Mazo this time it took on the form of Kokuo the Five Tailed Dolphin-Horse. The Bijuu was kept in an unstable state as the stream of chakra never seemed to end as it remained connected to the statue. Kokuo studied the women gathered before it calmly. Having been one of the most calm and respectful of the Bijuu, Kiyomi wasn't surprised when it said, "It seems our father's words have come true. The forms and chakras of those standing before me have changed, but I still know you all."

Rangiku was rather surprised at Kokuo's statement, not so much that the Bijuu recognized them. But that it seemed to have come to the same philosophy of their father's prophecy as Yoruichi had after her joining Naruto, which Kiyomi and Seven also believed with her being the newest recruit. Yoruichi was obviously pleased by this so said, "That's great Kokuo. We'll free you from the statue and you can select a new..."

"I must refuse," Kokuo said hanging its head in shame, "I deserve this fate. Please return me to it. I assume once you have freed the others you'll return the statue to it place in the moon. That would be a fitting end."

"Hold on a moment," Yoruichi said trying to understand what their sibling could have done that if felt it deserved to be locked in the moon for all eternity. "None of us can be thought of as exactly innocent. We've all waged as much war on humanity as it did on us. What could you have done that you feel you deserve such a punishment?"

Kokuo raised its head if only slightly before sighing as it replied, "My last host and I did not get along. Although he gained some ability to control steam from my being sealed in him. I refused to lend him anymore of my power, even in his time of needs. This included when he faced Akatsuki. He...did not wish to die, but I let him. Had I lent him my power, his fate may have been different, as may have mine. But I had believed Akatsuki simply wished to create a jinchuriki of their own, which was why to me it didn't matter if Han lived. I had no idea their goals would so endanger my own existence. If they had succeeded then I would have been deserving of that fate as well."

Yoruichi was at a loss for words since she didn't exactly know what to say to make her sibling feel any differently. Rangiku though said, "Pfft, that's nothing. I tried to convince my last host I was his mother so he'd snap and let me slaughter his entire village." All the Bijuu turned their heads towards her causing the blonde to feel a little self-conscious as she crossed her arms under her breasts and turned her back on the judgmental stares. When they turned away she muttered, "Don't act like you all wouldn't have tried it if you had thought of it."

Kiyomi stepped forward drawing the Five-Tailed Bijuu's attention towards her as she said, "Kokuo...Rangiku's point isn't wrong. We all have done things to past hosts which we may not necessarily be proud of. The question is however, what do you plan to do about it?"

"I just told you..."

"No," Kiyomi said cutting her sibling off, "All I heard is you wish to spend eternity feeling sorry for yourself. A being with your power can do unimaginable good, but if you decide to remain locked up in the statue. Then you will be making the same mistake as you did with Han. You will be letting a power that can help others sit unused when it is needed most."

Kokuo looked away as it replied to its sibling, "Kurama, your words are persuasive. But I also see a happiness among those of you that weren't just released from Gedo Mazo. That is something I do not deserve."

Kiyomi gave Sage a wave and inferring what her mother wanted the woman let the Five-Tailed beast fully solidify outside the statue. Placing her hand on Kokuo's snout the red-head said, "If making mistakes was a requisite for how much happiness we deserved then I would be the most miserable person on this planet. But, correcting those mistakes where we can, and learning from them when we can't is the true measure by which happiness will find you. You don't deserve to be condemned for making a mistake, you would for not learning from it and taking the steps necessary to make sure it never happens again."

Kokuo pondered on Kiyomi's words before saying, "If you believe such then will you aid me in correcting my mistake. For the life that was lost, I will create new ones to replace it by sacrificing several of my tails."

Kiyomi frowned as she had an idea of what Kokuo wanted to do. Unlike with her when she left her original Bijuu form and siphoned several tails off so that both her and her original form would respawn them. Kokuo intended to break off portions of its will as well as its tails. As such once the act was done, Kokuo would likely take on a new form to represent the new number of tails it was left with. But aware that Kokuo saw this as an act of penance to be worthy of the fresh start its siblings were offering said, "I will take two of your tails and divide the power there among three of the bodies I have prepared. If I take more than that I can't guarantee you'll remain who you are."

"I'm not so sure that would be a bad thing," Kokuo said, "But if that is what you believe is best I'll agree."

Kiyomi turned and nodded to Yoruichi, who still held the scroll containing the bodies of the escaped prisoners that had tried to kill Seven as she escaped the prison with Mikoto and had promptly had their consciousness destroyed to make vessels for the Bijuu. The Two-Tailed Bijuu unsealed three more bodies as she commented, "I guess it's a good thing you had spares."

Kiyomi smiled as she replied, "Well there were apparently a lot of people eager to kill Seven."

"I suppose I can understand that," Rangiku said causing Seven to respond to her sister with her middle finger. An action Nel mirrored causing the blonde Bijuu to say, "You shouldn't be teaching her such bad habits."

"Says the walking, talking bad habit," Seven replied dryly.

Kiyomi facing Kokuo again approached and placed a seal on the Bijuu. The seal was a version of the one she had used to escape from her prison and much like then a kanji for the number of tails being removed appeared, in this case two. Unlike then, and because the seal had been applied directly to the Bijuu whose consciousness still remained in its body some of that awareness joined into the mix as it were. A black sphere appeared over the area that began draining Kokuo of its power.

The Bijuu lost its form as it was turned into chakra which the black sphere began drain away. When the two tails worth of power were removed the sphere began to collapse as it slowly sank to the earth. Kiyomi held her hand out as it continued to shrink and began to drift towards the red-head. The black sphere easily fit into her hand which she then closed and when she opened it three smaller balls of condensed chakra and will remained. Kiyomi took the chakra and began to move towards the unsealed and nude bodies.

Behind her, Kokuo's form began to shift and morph as it took on the form of a large great white shark with two dorsal fins of equal size that made a V-shape on its back. Guessing those, along with the actual tail represented the Bijuu's new number scheme; Kiyomi knelt next to the still breathing bodies. Opening each mouth, she placed the miniature sphere in and then tilted their heads so that they would swallow.

The bodies arched their backs as the power spread through them, and they began to shift as they took on new features. Kiyomi watched as the new beings began to take shape, while her reasoning for only taking two tails was true. She hadn't split the power among an equal number of bodies as she didn't wish to create a bunch of new Bijuu. She feared if she had, then her siblings might treat them differently causing tensions to rise between them. Therefore while they would be quite powerful, they wouldn't quite be Bijuu level though.

Kiyomi directed her gaze to the first to finish changing and saw the slender and pale woman had long olive-green hair. While below her right eye three pink dots had appeared, and she sported some rather long eyelashes. At one point as her features had changed, the woman's eyes had opened to reveal that they had turned a shade of lavender.

Her eyes next moved to the woman in the middle unlike the other two her skin had taken on a shade common in Kumo. Which went along well with her long, wavy brown hair and green eyes. By far the tallest of the three, she also outclassed her fellow new beings in the breast department.

The final woman was just slightly taller than the first and had jet black hair that came down to her chin. Kiyomi had noticed that she appeared to have heterochromia with one of her eyes being an ice like blue and the other being amber. The amber eye was also outlined in red.

With the changes complete Kiyomi placed seals on the women to keep them asleep and then resealed them in the scroll. Behind her the now three-tailed shark asked, "Why did you do that?"

"I will leave the explaining of the how and why they came to be to you. I can't exactly be sure of how they'd react and see no reason to deal with any more unknowns then I need to at the moment."

Kokuo tried to incline its head in acceptance of Kiyomi's explanation, but due to its new form just seemed to bend in half. Kiyomi unrolled the scroll further as she unsealed another body, "Are you ready?"

"I am," Kokuo answered.

Being the closest Yoruichi applied the same seal to the Bijuu that Kiyomi had to Isobu. The former five tailed Bijuu turned into chakra and flew to a corresponding seal that appeared on the unsealed body. As the chakra began to enter it, the skinned began to darken as the hair began to turn a short messy blonde. The woman's eyelashes turned the same color as her hair. After fully transforming, Kokuo opened her eyes to reveal they were a bright green. Being helped to a sitting position by Seven, the nude Bijuu spent a moment taking in its new form having based it on some of the characteristics she had liked from her sisters. Looking at Kiyomi, she asked "Do you still go by Kurama?"

Shaking her head, Kiyomi answered, "No, Seven kept her name, but I made a clean break with mine. I go by Kiyomi now."

Kokuo nodded before asking, "I assume you would have made the necessary preparations to join human society. Including new names if necessary."

Kiyomi smiled as she responded, "True, although we haven't filled them out completely since we didn't know how you would look when everything was said and done. But we already had several names prepared and if you want my opinion you definitely look like a Tier Harribel."

Standing, the nude woman accepted a robe that her siblings had prepared. Looking at her fellow Bijuu, she said, "I believe it will be best to break with my old name as well then."

Kiyomi nodded already thinking of her as Tier so turned back to the statue upon which her daughter sat. "Sage can you differentiate and choose who you send out?"

"Affirmative, although there seems to be an anomaly sealed with both the Six and Four tails."

Tier stepped up to her red-headed sibling curious about her sister's question and about the anomaly that had been mentioned. "Why are you curious at this point if she can control who is released next?"

Kiyomi smiled as she answered, "I believe Saiken will be the easier of the two to convince to take a new form. Son Goku was always rather prideful. It might be a challenge to convince it to take on a human form."

"And the anomaly?"

"I have an idea of what it is," Kiyomi responded, a certain amount of concern entering her voice. Believing that Gyuki letting a tail get sealed had just resulted in a situation like the one between her and Kushina and the one she had just tried to prevent with Tier sacrificing her tails said, "We'll deal with it last though."

Tier nodded and stepped back as Kiyomi told Sage to release the Six-Tailed beast first. Only allowing it to form partially as they had for Tier, the women watched the Six-Tailed slug immediately try to swipe at them with one of its tails. The beast recognizing the futility of its actions asked, "Who are you?

"It's been a long time Saiken," Tier said having been unable to communicate while in the statue although she had been able to sense them. Her words caused the Six-Tailed Slug's eyes to focus on the dark-skinned blond in surprise. Trying to feel the people before it by their chakra it said, "Kokuo...but you were just released...what's going on?"

"We're offering you a chance to change that form you've always hated," Rangiku said striking a pose. "I think you'll agree that it's a makeover that's done wonders for us."

Saiken had long despised it form, and long desired to take on another. Seeing the opportunity to take on human form, having often daydreamed about doing so since it always had found it to be the most appealing, wanting to take on a form its father might find attractive, it however felt the deal was too good to be true so asked, "What is the catch?"

Tier directed a look to Kiyomi having not thought to ask the question herself. Kiyomi smiled though as she said, "First, if you have a grudge against the humans then I expect you to let it go." Saiken grumbled, but not feeling particularly vengeful when a long desired dream appeared to be in reach had no problem with the condition. Not hearing any complain Kiyomi then said, "Secondly, I have a business that is in need of strong warriors. In exchange you'll be free to live with me and will be provided with a nice stipend and excellent benefits."

Tier wondered why Rangiku appeared suddenly lost in thought as a blush appeared on her face as she said dreamily, "Mmmm yeah, very excellent benefits."

Saiken unaware of what those benefits were, wondered for how long Kiyomi expected to keep it in servitude so asked, "For how long would you expect me to serve you?"

Kiyomi frowned, but aware that it might take Naruto time to win her sibling over answered, "Think of it as helping me. There is a person's dream that I wish to make a reality. Making my business prosper will allow him to extend his reach further to...um...convert others to his goal. But if you aren't convinced by that or his dream, I would like you to help us for...ten years."

"Five," Saiken immediately countered.

"Six," Kiyomi said causing Saiken to appear amused before nodding in agreement.

Seeing Tier wished a word Kiyomi nodded to her sisters to transfer Saiken into its new form so moving to the blonde asked, "What is it?"

"When you spoke to me you promised my power would be used for a noble purpose. Now it seems you wish to use us as pawns," Tier said cautiously. "I want your word that your words to me were the truth."

"They were," Kiyomi said truthfully, "But if you find that I've lied then you'll be free to leave. I'll leave it to Naruto to explain his dream, but I promise you that what we intend to build is a world father would have been proud of."

Tier not sensing any deception from her sister was at least a little intrigued. Nodding her acceptance of Kiyomi's terms she turned to see Saiken had completed her transformation. She was rather surprised when upon the Bijuu's standing she saw the Six-tailed woman was one of the shortest women there. The woman wrapped the robe she had been given covering a good portion of her pale skin as the garment was a little too big for her. She also had large blue eyes that looked like they should normally be filled with kindness, but as the Bijuu seemed to bask in its new skin, to Tier it looked like a rather large chip was forming on the new woman's shoulders. Running her fingers through her long white hair and tossing it playful Saiken said, "I could get used to this."

Kiyomi studied the newest Bijuu turned human and feared that despite what she had originally thought, Saiken was going to be a problem child as it were, for a lack of a better term. Supposing that only time would tell, she turned towards the statue and nodded for Sage to release Son Goku.

Sage returned the nod and a moment later Son Goku appeared. The Biju much like the animal it resembled beat its chest and then slammed its hands on the ground which phased harmlessly through it. Son pulled its hands back and looked over its shoulder to see Sage still sitting atop of the statue. Growling as it turned to face the other women it said, "It seems flies have come to barter with the Yonbi. It was wise of you not to release me fully from the statue."

Kiyomi smirked as she ignored the threat to say, "Introducing yourself as Yonbi only. What happened to the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Screen Cave; the King of the Sage Monkeys, bestowed with the Dharma name of Son by the Sage of the Six Paths?"

"Wha...?" Son replied in shock as its mouth fell open due to someone calling it by the full title it had given itself. It then began to get a sense of what the people standing before it truly were. The gathered women frowned though as it began laughing uproariously. "Bwahahahaha...what have you all done to yourselves? Have you all fallen so low as to trade your original bodies which although were inferior to my own, were a million... no a billion times more magnificent then those weak looking forms."

Kiyomi sighed having expected such a response as she remembered how often Son had boasted about how superior its monkey form was to the other Bijuu's. A usual target often being Saiken due to it already being self-conscious of the form it had been given. The teasing had only gotten worse when Saiken had once wished it could take on a form more closely resembling their father's. Moving closer towards her intangible Bijuu sibling, she stuck her hand into its form prompting it to ask, "What are you doin...?"

Son Goku trailed off as it was assaulted by visions, feelings, and even the smells derived from the experiences Kiyomi had enjoyed before being released from Naruto. Son enjoyed months of s.εﾒ compressed into the few moments that Kiyomi kept her hand in its form. Kiyomi though had shifted its perspective so that instead of seeing the experiences through the women's eyes it had been as an outside observer. Yet, Son had quickly realized that the strange sensations it had experienced were a result of what the blond human had done to the different females.

Son seemed to nearly collapse as Kiyomi removed her hand. Looking at its fellow Bijuu and already wishing to experience more it asked, "T-those sensations...w-what were they?"

Son noticed that the women that had not just been released from the Gedo Mazo all wore the same smile making it believe they had indulged in similar actions as those it had just witnessed. Finding itself extremely jealous it grew more so when Kiyomi answered, "That my dear Son is something that despite your vastly superior form. You'll never get to experience..."

"Unless," the Bijuu supplied practically able to hear it as Kiyomi trailed off.

Kiyomi smiled knowing she had Son exactly where she wanted it so said, "Unless you agree to help me make my former host's dream a reality."

Although wanting to enjoy more of the sensations that it had just experienced, it was loathed to take on a human form to do it. However, Kiyomi sweetened the pot by adding, "That not all there is to these forms Son Goku. While death may become a real possibility for us, you'll truly be free of being sealed ever again."

Son's eyes went wide in surprise as it looked back at the Gedo Mazo statue. Quite aware of what would have happened had the people that sealed it inside the statue succeeded in getting their hands on the other Bijuu it turned back to Kiyomi to ask, "You wish me to help your former container. A considerable request on your part for something I may be capable of doing myself given time...unless you plan to leave me sealed here if I choose not to help."

Kiyomi frowned well aware that Son's next question would be to ask what she intended to give it in return. The former Fox Bijuu knew that much like Tier, Son was quite adapt at reading a situation and had phrased its question to purposely trap her in order to paint her as an extortionist. Granted she had used that method against Rangiku, but it was because while some may have imagined One-Tails to be insane due to what happened to those that had hosted her. Kiyomi was quite aware Rangiku was just rather impulsive and manipulative. Plus of all her siblings, Kiyomi had feared she would carry the greatest grudge against the Village her jinchuriki had called home. As a result the more heavy handed approach had been used.

Yet, with now another three Bijuu already free and Son possibly joining them, she knew that approach wouldn't work here. For one by using it against the Four-tails, she stood to potentially damage relations with the other three if they believed Kiyomi would have used a great deal of arm twisting to get her way if they didn't agree to help such as leaving them trapped in the statue. Well at least from Saiken and Tier, Nel was simply watching a butterfly as it flittered about.

Kiyomi felt that perhaps she had been a little too eager to free her fellow Bijuu. Looking at how things stood she guessed it may have been best to do it one at a time to allow Naruto's charms to win them over. Smirking as she thought of her lover, she thought she knew what he would do in her situation so said, "No, if you truly wish no part of what I would ask of you then that's fine."

Saiken as she expected was less then pleased as she said, "Hey, you forced me into a six year pact. Why does Son get a pass?"

Kiyomi looked back at her sibling as she answered, "I never made it a condition of your release though. However if you feel you are getting a raw deal then you may consider our pact dissolved. Although I at least ask you allow Naruto to explain his goals to you." Saiken was obviously surprised by Kiyomi's response. Considering the matter closed she faced the Yonbi as she said, "If you choose not to aid me, then you can go and do as you wish. I'll even provide you the body I prepared for your transformation. It's what Naruto would want." Her tone turned dangerous though as she said, "Yet, if you use your powers to harm the people of this world without provocation, then you'll answer to me."

Son Goku studied it's sibling before replying, "Humph, to think you of all people would turn into a human lover. What makes this boy so special?"

Kiyomi smiled as she responded, "The answer to that I think you'll find is rather dependent on who you ask. But I think upon meeting him you'll at least believe that helping him with his ambition is something father would have wanted."

"I will decide that myself after meeting him," Son Goku said regally.

Sage upon hearing that allowed Son Goku to fully appear before its siblings. Kiyomi stepped before it and applied the seal to the chakra beast as another vessel was prepared. The beast turned into chakra and entered its new form causing the body to change its appearance.

The hair grew longer as it turned black and took on a messy like appearance. Her breasts grew larger causing Kiyomi to grow a little self-conscious since outside of the now diminutive Nel, she found that she had the smallest bust size of her siblings. But she let the matter go as being silly since she knew Naruto's lovers came in all shapes and sizes. When Son's eyes opened they revealed that they had changed to a light shade of green. Standing the woman accepted the robe that she had been given and draped it over her shoulders but made no move to cover her nakedness.

Kiyomi watched as the woman shivered slightly in a breeze that kicked up as it was growing cooler due to the sun's setting. Turning to Sage, Kiyomi said, "Now for the anomaly. Sage if you'd be so kind."

Sage nodded, as chakra began to stream from the Statue's mouth despite all of its eyes no longer having the pupils which had signified the Bijuu it contained. The chakra appeared before Kiyomi and took the shape of a tentacle. Rangiku recognizing the Bijuu it had come from said, "I thought they never managed to actually capture Gyuki's host."

"You'd be correct," Kiyomi replied, "But according to Naruto, it had appeared Gyuki allowed one of its tails to be cut off to use a decoy."

Yoruichi laughed as she said, "Oh, I can only imagine how pissed Yugito must have been. Bee's going to be so sorry when she catches up to him."

"Yes, I can imagine." Kiyomi's brows furrowed in concern though as the tentacle appeared many times larger than the one Naruto had described. This made her concerned since she imagined that given time the tentacle would have spawned into a new eight tails, much like her old form had regrown its tails while lying dormant in Naruto. If this was the case she realized that given time the masked man Tobi might not have needed to make another attempt on capturing Killer Bee. She also realized that likely meant the threat of the Ten Tails being reborn wasn't exactly over.

Recalling the two Kumo-nin that had absorbed some of her power and had even been capable of taking on a chakra cloak form, she realized that if Tobi or whoever had originally summoned the Gedo Mazo from its home on the moon managed to recapture it and learned of this fact, then they might just target other sources of Bijuu chakra. Aware that the danger facing Naruto hadn't truly diminished until he fully absorbed her Bijuu chakra and made it his own as Yugito and Fu had done, she resolved to have a talk with Kushina. Advertisements

Yoruichi recognizing that the tail before them was many times more powerful then Gyuki would have needed to use for its jutsu. Also came to the conclusion that it was likely that given time the tail would give rise to a new eight tails. She took this as a sign that the reading of the prophecy that Naruto had inspired her to believe was the correct one. When she had heard of Bee's abduction, she had believed it to be a sign as well, but had experienced doubts when it was learned he had escaped on his own. The reason for this was because she believed that Gyuki's feelings for Bee were the same as Kiyomi and hers for Naruto. She couldn't imagine a possible scenario where Gyuki would join Naruto's harem so long as Bee was alive. Therefore she said, "Kiyomi, we should give this...piece of Gyuki a chance to grow."

Kiyomi studied her sister and aware of her thoughts of Gyuki despite her initial concerns nodded as she said, "I suppose if Gyuki is going to leave pieces of itself lying around it's our responsibility to ensure that those pieces don't fall into the wrong hands."

Seven approached with the scroll that housed the vessels she had prepared and unsealed a body next to the tentacle. Kiyomi placed the seal on the tail and instructed her siblings, "Everyone hold hands in a circle around it."

"What for?" Rangiku asked as she took Seven's hand and needed to bend down to take Nel's.

"Why simple," Kiyomi replied excitedly, "We're going to help speed up the process a bit. Now everyone create a picture in your mind as to what form this new Hachibi should take."
