After the Kyubi was tamed, Kushina had to respect her promise to Naruto and reveal everything. She contemplated how to do it, and ultimately chose that, since they were all together, they might as well just pay 'him' a visit.
Ray told Azrael to go to Tsunade and prepare for their get-together, since he wasn't allowed to attend, he'd likely just spend his time walking around.
"My lord... as I expected, should I just talk to them to let you come with us? I think this is outrageous".
Ray patted her head and shook his head, "I want you all to have a good time together and relax. I also want the others to enjoy the full experience too. If I were there... You know how things are going to end..."
Azrael blushed and nodded knowingly. She knew things were going to get rather naughty with all of them present in one spot. But likewise, she thought most of the girls wouldn't be interested in participating if he wasn't there.
"The whole purpose of that get-together is for you all to create bonds with one another. It wouldn't make sense for me to be there. However, I do want you to do me a favour".
"Whatever you need, my lord".
"Please keep an eye on them and make sure there are no fights. You have the authority to do whatever is necessary if a fight were to break out".
Hearing his command, Azrael nodded and bowed, "It will be as you wish, my lord. Thanks for trusting me with this task".
She flew off, inwardly having a headache. Among those women, there were existences that even she didn't dare claim she could stop... but since she was asked, there was no choice...
'If they want to fight, heads will roll!'
Just in time, as Ray watched her go, he felt something inside his stomach that made him clutch a little.
"Ray...?" Kushina looked at him worriedly, but Ray raised his palm and shook his head. Just then, a pitch-black fog started to come off his body.
This time, unlike before, Ray felt like his whole being was being split in two.
'Is it because she has been inside me for such a long time...?'
The fog reformed and re-materialised in the shape of a gigantic, beautiful yet intimidating black dragon. This black dragon was also covered in a humongous hue of energy that heated the atmosphere. It is as one would expect from a Dragon that had been sleeping in the core of the sun for what felt like aeons.
Kushina and Naruto were awestruck watching the foreign beast they had never seen before.
"R-Ray, what is this?!" Kushina got on guard, but she could tell whether she got on guard or not; it didn't matter. This beast was on a completely different level compared with the Kyubi. Even the Kyubi inside Naruto felt scared to watch this creature.
"Baka-ray" Seeing her mate's weakening posture, Ophis got worried. She had been sucking so much energy constantly, it was almost as if she were a parasite inside Ray's soul. When she finally came out, the changes within Ray were evident.
*RUMBLE!*
The Sun Energy in the surroundings revolted, the light became more intense, the colours more vibrant. One could tell the Sun God's energy was reverberating in the area.
"Don't worry, I can suppress this much energy until you come back... go and have fun with the girls, also, take your human form, you're going to scare the village like that".
"Uhm".
The dragon transformed into a black goo that compressed and eventually morphed into the silhouette of a breathtaking woman with long black hair that reached the ground and a black dress.
Naruto blushed just looking at her.
Ophis, who had a huge baby bump, hurried up to support Ray. The latter found it comic and kissed her, "What are you doing...? The one that's pregnant is you~".
"But... it is because I have been taking so much energy that baka-ray is facing this backlash".
"It's alright, it is for our baby dragon".
Ophis blushed, and they kissed again. Kushina couldn't help but clench her teeth. Ophis was absolutely beautiful; she had never seen a woman so pretty in her life. Moreover, this woman was clearly pregnant with Ray's child, but she didn't know what to think.
"Oji-san, is this your wife...?" Naruto looked at Ophis with a bit of apprehension. The dragoness was not only so beautiful but also so astonishingly powerful that she was not easy to even look at.
"That's right. This is Ophis, my Dragoness".
"Nice to meet you, Ophis-san", Kushina greeted her politely, feeling much like Naruto... unable to know how to even face such a creature. Although she knew Ray was also very strong... he was at least approachable.
This woman didn't even put them in her eyes.
Rather than greet them, Ophis just nodded towards them and waited for Ray to regain his footing. When he did, she nodded to him too and disappeared in a black fog, going who knows where... it had been a long time since she was outside.
"Don't mind her... she's not good with words".
"Is she gravid? W-Wait, what exactly is she?" Not able to even hold his curiosity, the Kyubi took over Naruto to ask directly.
"She's a dragon, to be precise, she's the Ouroboros Dragon, the Dragon of Infinity. You could say I am her Jinchuriki..." Ray spoke proudly; he was always very proud of his women's backgrounds, and Ophis was certainly among the strongest... even if she was also the quietest.
"So she's like a Biju... what a terrifying creature, just standing next to her... I felt like an ant in front of a mountain" The Kyubi sighed and went back to the bathroom.
"Oi, you bitch! Don't just suddenly take over like that!" Naruto cursed out loud when his eyes went back to normal. At this point, since the seal was gone, the Kyubi could take over at any time.
"Hmph, your mom's a bitch!" The Kyubi took over once more just to throw a diss before going back.
!!!
Kushina paled and glared at her son fiercely. As for Ray, he was holding his laughter very hard. While Naruto and the Kyubi argued with one another, Kushina pouted while Ray suppressed himself.
"Stop laughing! Why do you suddenly look pale? You can't even laugh properly..." Kushina helped Ray, grasping his waist, and she noticed the change in his countenance the moment she came out.
"I will explain to you later. Should we go?" He said, holding onto Kushina even if he didn't need help.
"Hmn, let's go, Naruto... stop fighting with the Kyubi. There is somewhere I have to take you".
"What place is that?" The boy asked. At this point, one of his eyes was slitted, and the other was normal. Those two couldn't come to an arrangement.
"To your father... I will take you to your father's place".
"Eh?!"
...
After walking for a while, Naruto, Kushina and Ray reached a graveyard where honourable characters rested in the afterlife. Kushina had been told of this place by Mikoto, since the latter had mourned her death at the time.
When they reached, they found the tomb of the Fourth Hokage, but not only that... next to him was the tomb of his wife, Kushina Uzumaki.
Looking at her own tomb, Kushina gasped silently in wonder. Down there, beneath her feet, was her own body, her other body... right now, it was her soul occupying a part of Albedo's flesh.
"Yondaime", Naruto gasped, staring at Kushina, his 'aunt' and waiting for an answer.
"This is your father, Naruto-kun... The yondaime, Minato Namikaze"
Seeing the tomb of his father, Naruto fell to his knees. He couldn't have imagined, living his life as an orphan, full of hardships, ignored by everyone... that his father was the renowned and respected Yondaime of Konoha.
"H-How... why...?"
"That's not all, Naruto. Your mother is here too".
She pointed at the tomb next to it, "That's your mother, Uzumaki Kushina"
Naruto gasped with tears in his eyes, staring between the tomb and his 'aunt', utterly confused. They had the same name, one was alive, the other wasn't... what's going on here.
Seeing her son's confusion, Kushina knelt down to hug him.
"Naruto, I am not your aunt, I am your mother, dattebane! I am your mother!"
The boy gasped, but then his brows softened, because he already knew. He just wanted to confirm. Then, rather than run as Kushina expected him to, he jumped on her and cried.
"My son...!"
They hugged each other, as Ray watched. Having an awkward feeling of not belonging. Even feeling a bit guilty. He had beyond screwed Kushina despite her circumstances. They were in such a taboo relationship when she had these complications.
He took a step to leave silently, but she grasped his wrist, shaking her head relentlessly.
"Please, stay".
Ray sighed and did as she wanted, although he didn't understand why she wanted him to stay. He understood that right now, she needed support... and he was that support for her.
Kushina told Naruto everything. She explained their life, how they died...how he inherited the Kyubi, she also told him the Kyubi had suffered a lot because of her clan, and other clans before her. She laid everything as it was, without lies.
She then had a hard time explaining how she came back, but she then pulled Ray, coughed and put all the responsibility on him. After all, Naruto was not acquainted with Albedo and had never seen her.
"Was it Oji-san who brought you back?"
"Ah-" Ray drifted, Kushina put her hand on his mouth and laughed nervously.
"Yes, he did. It is thanks to him that I am here again... he used some forbidden Jutsu to bring me back, dattebane!"
She didn't want to lie, but it was too hard and meaningless to explain their whole complex entanglement. Naruto's breath faltered for a moment. He seemed like he wanted to ask something, but instead, he ran... he ran off.
There was too much to process.
"Wait, Naruto!" It was not Kushina who called for him; it was Ray.
Because he knew what Naruto wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.
"Ray..." Kushina stopped him; she shook her head. Then she took both her hands within hers.
"You have no reason to feel guilty for this, Ray. You absolutely don't. Loving you is my decision, I could reject these feelings... I could kill myself, even. I have chosen you instead of Minato; there is no reason for you to feel bad".
"I don't want to steal someone's happiness".
Steal Kushina from Minato? He could do that any time... even if Minato was alive, he'd still fight for Kushina.
But steal a mother from her son? He didn't know if he could. Naruto would ask about his father, if she was back... he'd ask if his father could be taken back to... he'd ask for his parents to be together, and it was his right to.
What would he say?
'I won't bring your dad back because I am sleeping with your mom, fuck off, brat!'
He didn't think he could be such a piece of shit. At this point, Ray sighed and wanted to curse at Albedo for creating this problem. He had enjoyed her gift; now he was living the consequences of it.
"Can you even bring Minato back?" Kushina asked him with a frown, stopping Ray's heart on its track, still... he wasn't going to lie.
"I don't... but if I order Albedo–"
"Then it is not your fault. So don't think too much about it. Let my son think, I am sure it is too much for him to process. We have to give him time, and then I will meet him again by myself, to explain things further... to explain why Minato can't be back and... why we can't be together again".
"..."
Seeing Ray's complex feelings, Kushina smiled and held his face between both her palms, feeling warm. Given his character, power... it was normal if he didn't want to accept Naruto. But Ray was the opposite.
He felt genuinely concerned for her son.
"I am glad you care so much about him, that's enough for me".
She kissed him at that moment, in front of her late husband's tomb. Then she knelt down and put her arms together.
'Minato, I just want to tell you that I am so sorry... I am sorry for how everything went wrong, I am sorry that I was the only one who could come back... I know I am a bad woman, and I don't deserve to be your wife... but I will do my best for Naruto, I will make sure our son lives the happiest life he can live from now on, and I will make sure the village is peaceful. I will do my best for the ideals we shared... but I won't forsake my happiness. These feelings, I won't abandon them, and... I hope you can understand me. Thanks for everything, thanks for loving me... thanks for saving me that day, and I am sorry I couldn't save you that day'.
When Kushina finally opened her eyes, intending to stand up to leave, she found Ray kneeling next to her, praying too. She felt the urge to bite her lips and kiss him, but she waited for him to finish. They stood up together and bowed to the tomb of a fallen hero.
'I will take care of your woman and your son, Minato. I didn't meet you, but I have only heard wonderful things about you. It would have been an honour'.
Ray thought. He entwined his fingers with Kushina and turned around. The woman smiled and laughed joyfully, but he... he looked at the brilliant appearance of a man with blonde hair and a coat, standing there, watching his wife.
He had a smile on his face.
It seemed as if just watching her smile was enough for him.
'Thank you, Ray-kun~ treat them well, otherwise... I will haunt you!'
...
"I will".
Kushina, amidst her laugh, saw Ray stretch his fist forward.
"Ray...? Did you say something?"
After some time, the man sighed and looked at her, kissed her, and then took her away from the graveyard.
"Aren't you going to get ready? The get-together is going to start soon, my women are going to start travelling to this world".
Kushina shook her head, "We are originally just parts of Albedo. Also, I have no intention of becoming your official concubine or anything like that".
"Oh?".
"As long as you love me, that's enough".
Ray looked unconvinced, but Kushina twisted his head amidst the warm breeze and tasted his lips again; it was as if she couldn't get enough.
"Besides, it would be a bit sad if you spent all this time alone. Those women can actually have all that fun on their own, it is a bit outrageous~ don't worry, Hikari, Mikoto, and I prepared some nice events for you to spend your time".
"Really...?"
"Yes, I spoke with Tsunade-sama. The Kages should be arriving between this evening and tomorrow. I know you are eagerly expecting to meet the Raikage, but... in the meantime, perhaps you can have some fun with your girl-friends, dattebanne~"
Kushina smiled mischievously and led him along the forest while singing a lullaby, giving Mikoto and Hikari enough time to prepare.
"Where are we going?" Ray asked, intrigued.
"Just to a little camp, don't worry about it, and just follow me".
Soon they left the village on their little walk and dances, Kushina telling him her life while also asking about his. Learning about the fact that, much to her shock, Ray was a lot younger than her.
"Seriously...?" Hearing that he was supposed to be seventeen years old in this life, she felt her countenance go red and hot. She had been doing all those shameful things with someone so young!
"Yes, it is all thanks to Elysir".
"And that lady... Elysir, where is she right now?"
"She is... doing her own things, but she should be coming soon. Are you sure you don't want to attend that party? It may be your only chance to see all of them in one place. They rarely all come together to one spot, not even at home..."
Even in their transdimensional home at the mist, the girls would occasionally go and stay to sleep or to meet him, to go on dates... but it was rare for them all to be there at the same time. Even at this time, it wouldn't be all of them; Kurumi wasn't going to attend for obvious reasons.
"It is alright, I have no interest in meeting them. Rather than that" She drifted, licking her lips and caressing his abdomen through the hakama.
"I am more interested in this little time we will be together. I heard once you marry Tsunade-sama, you will be going back to your world, and we won't be able to spend so much time together, dattebane. So... let's take this chance to get to know each other better, alright?"
They finally reached a spot in the forest. It was a clear river that led to a cascade. Beneath this cascade, there was a small cave. Coming into the cave was like entering a paradise. They jumped along some rocks to the side, and once they entered, Ray gasped.
There were some dimly lit bonfires inside, and an exquisite smell of grilled beef coming out. In fact, there were so many scents that he couldn't focus on any. Not only was there the delicious scent of food, but also cinnamon science together with other condiments that he couldn't put together, but that joined... entered his brain like drugs and steroids.
"Wow..."
Deep into it, Mikoto and Hikari were making the final preparations. There was a table with a lot... a lot of food of all types, from appetisers to fruits, seafood and beef, chicken, ramen... pick whatever you want.
There were pressed juices, sake, everything... there was enough food for dozens of people.
Kushina led him inside while he looked at the scenery, stupefied. How long did it take to prepare all this? and the smell... the smell was just too nice.
"Hikari, Miko-chan... I brought him~".
The two ladies finally turned with bright, sultry smiles. Hikari and Mikoto were wearing pink kimonos with a beautiful, flowery pattern. They let their hair loose because they knew that's how he liked it. They had very light make-up, and he could tell even without needing his senses that beneath those kimonos, there was nothing.
"Come, Ray-sama, you came just in time for our get-together~".
"Our get-together...?"
"Yes, since your beloved ladies are all having fun together, we thought it was a waste for you to be bored, so... we prepared this little party for you. We have food, we have... games~ we have a river to play" Mikoto mumbled lowly, her voice so exquisite, but the cave was so quiet that her voice echoed everywhere.
She approached and took his hand while Kushina began to change into a kimonos that Hikari gave her. He tentatively tried to turn around to look at Kushina, but Mikoto held his gaze firmly fixed on her.
"Uh-huh~ not yet, we have all the time in the world. How about you eat first, Ray-sama? We prepared so much food, you can choose whatever you want".
Hikari came over too, standing regally in front of him. With a growl Ray snatched both of their asses and pressed them both against his body.
As if he didn't know what this little party was going to entail.
"Hyan~ so forcefull~".
"Ray-sama, there is no need to be in a rush, we're not going anywhere" Hikari placed her slender hands on his chest, opening his Hakama little by little until they could see his body completely. Suffice to say that the huge mast down there was already hard and stimulated. But Hikari was a woman with patience. She hugged him and squished both their bodies together
"What if I want to eat you all straight away?~" Ray growled, it would be a pity to not eat all this food, but no doubt these two were looking more exquisite than these dishes all put together. Let alone, because of Ophis' absence, he was brimming with energy. And this energy needed to be released.
"If you want to do so, we have no choice and won't be against it, but... wouldn't it be a pity? We can enjoy each other playing so many games".
Just in time, Kushina came, letting her hair loose with her Kimono open, not even bothering to close it. She clung from behind and smiled, blowing a breath of air on Ray's ear.
"Be good and have your meal first. Good boys don't eat dessert first~".
Now that she knew he was a young god. She was going to capitalise it. After all, they had already received the most powerful intel from Albedo.
'Master's type? fufu~ master loves milfs more than anything in the world, the ajority of master's women are milfs~'
