[Episode 112459] [Episode 112459]As his teacher vanished from view, Naruto could only stare at the sight around him. The number of nude bodies surrounding him was beyond his reckoning. Then a thought pierced through his shock, like an ice pick through rice paper. A lot of these women probably WOULDN'T be happy to see him when they woke up. With that in mind, he scooped up as much of his clothing as he could find and dressed as silently as he could. Which, as we are talking about Naruto, wasn't a very silent process. Somehow he managed to pull it off without waking anyone up and was now mostly dressed. Mostly, because he wasn't quite sure how his right sandal found itself lodged in some tree roots nor did he know where his jacket had vanished off to. He looked around for some kind of landmark before catching the Hokage Monument off in the distance. Idly wondering how he had drifted so far from his original training area he puzzled out the quickest way back to the village.
With caution none knew he actually had, Naruto slowly waded his way through the sea of women. Though he wished he could exit via the trees he had a gut feeling that someone present would probably sense his less the stealthy approach to tree jumping. Plus, he was fairly certain that some of last nights activities had taken place IN the trees and landing on someone was a quick way to a world of pain. He was also silently wishing he had paid attention during his academy classes. How was he supposed to know he'd actually need to sneak past sleeping people?!
Somehow, he made it to the edge of the forest without incident. His body went on auto pilot as he wandered into the city like village. Mostly his mind settled on trying to comprehend what had happened and worrying about his immediate future. That is until he had caught a familiar sent.
"Mmm...Ramen." Naruto said as he gazed at the Ichiraku ramen stand. He paused, then figured 'why not?' before entering and taking a seat.
"Hey Naruto..." Teuchi, the owner said before getting a good look at Naruto. "...you look like hell."
"Ha ha..." Naruto replied dully. "More like dead man walking."
"Something you care to share?" Teuchi asked, while making Naruto's usual.
Naruto stared for a moment before he started talking.
(Flashback)
'Damn, Ero-Sennin!' Naruto thought to himself. 'He could of at least stayed around long enough to tell me if I'm doing this right!'
In a pattern that had became apparent over the last few months, the perverted Sannin would show Naruto a new technique and teach him some of the basic principles to it. Then he would immediately disappeared on Naruto, leaving him to figure it out for himself. Not that Naruto was ungrateful but this technique was pushing all his buttons.
'First he tells me this will guarantee me victory against any kunoichi, then he drags me out here and then leaves me with these weird instructions...' Naruto mentally complained.
Even Naruto had to admit that the directions didn't seem THAT hard. Not in comparison to when he learned the Rasengan anyway. First he had to mold and focus a ball of chakra. Easily done, as he had already learned the rasengan. Although Jiraiya had accomplished this using a different method, he had assured Naruto that the principle of this step worked either way. The second step was the tricky one. It involved 'imprinting' a suggestion onto the formed chakra. The suggestion he had tried to send was for any women who received it to fall into a trance for five seconds then to wake up. This had been the step that had plagued Naruto's thoughts and dreams for the past week. It had placed him out in this forest in the dead of night because, like the night before, he thought he had figured it out.
Tonight, he did it. He could sense the message within the mini tornado. Now he was ready for the final step, the pulse. Which, like the name suggests, involves a controlled dispersion of the chakra. In theory it didn't sound so hard to Naruto. Of course, when he got started it was shortly after sundown. At first he couldn't release it at all, the whole thing fell into chaos and the message was lost. Over the duration of the night he tried and tried and he probably would keep trying until he got it or he passed out. Both he and another knew that is chakra pool was all but spent.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Deep within Naruto's navel, the Kyuubi was doing one of the things that it does when it wasn't dealing with Naruto, plotting an escape or yelling obscenities at it's cage. At the moment it consisted of staring out through it's vessels eyes.
Despite the front it put out whenever Naruto dropped by, the Kyuubi was slowing beginning to lose it's grip on it's sanity. It had been locked in that dark and soaking cell for longer then it was willing to count. After the first five years of repeated escape attempts, it had finally admitted that the Yondaime had been a smarter being then it had supposed. Despair came and went until boredom settled in. Then it had started to test the boundaries set up to confine it. It had taken another three years to find what it was looking for.
At first it seemed like a simple peep hole, which was pretty exciting by itself. The Kyuubi found something much more astounding. If it altered his chakra flows through this portion of the gate, he could not just watch but receive simulation from all his senses!
However, it became rapidly apparent that what the Kyuubi wanted Naruto to do was not what Naruto wanted to do. Unfortunately for the Kyuubi, with the exception of Wave Country, Naruto was in the driver's seat.
However, an opportunity had presented itself to the Kyuubi during Naruto's training, one that it wouldn't miss for the world.
"Besides..." The Kyuubi reasoned to itself. "It's about time for the brat to start looking for a mate."
Of course, the fact that it hadn't gotten laid in well over a century helped it decide on this course of action. As it sensed Naruto subconsciously begin to call upon the demon fox's power it willingly gave it up after it had imprinted it's own message upon the chakra.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As the chakra formed within his hands Naruto noticed the Kyuubi's chakra within it. As the red energy passed over him he felt re-energized, but was suspicious of the current chakra typhoon. After an initial inspection he noticed nothing wrong about it, not noticing the much more subtle patterns lurking beneath the surface. After imprinting his own message onto the typhoon he began to focus on releasing it. A moment passed with an uncharacteristic silence from Naruto and then it happened. A single balloon of chakra expanded from the typhoon and spread out in all directions.
Naruto grinned to himself as pride welled up. The Ero-Sennin had told him that it would expand out until it vanished, but it would actually continue quite far after ceasing to be visible. Which was why they were in the middle of the forest, didn't want to accidently hit anyone with it, right? Then he dispersed the rest of the chakra and then noted that his pulse remained visible for a lot longer then Ero-Sennin's.
After thinking about this for a moment, Naruto got a sinking feeling in his stomach. Then it began...
It started as if thunder in the distance, gradually getting closer and closer, before he saw it. Literally hundreds of women heading straight toward him, with lust burning in their eyes. He had only a split second to comprehend the sight before the stampede swallowed him up.
(End Flashback)
"So...you unintentionally seduced all the women in the village?" Teuchi asked. "That's far fetched."
"I'm pretty sure I picked some up from outside the village, too." Naruto remarked, idly swirling the ramen in his bowl. "So, how dead do you think I am?"
"Well, if what you say is true...the women you slept with is only half the battle." Teuchi stated. "You also have to worry about husbands, boyfriends and family, too...not to mention any laws you may have broken using such a technique...Naruto?"
By the time he had finished his list Naruto had slowly lowered his head to the bar, narrowing missing the bowl of ramen.
"So, I'm doomed?" Naruto asked after a moment of silence.
"That pretty much sums it up." Teuchi said, before his eyes caught something behind Naruto.
Nervously Naruto looked behind him to find...
