Chapter 89 - Cap 82: Ah! My Cabbages!!!

Kurama was walking towards the Uzumaki mansion that would be his new home when he saw a pretty blonde girl waving at him from afar - "Ino-chan?"

"Good morning. Kuro-kun~!" - Ino smiled as she ran towards her teammate.

"Ara~? Ino-chan quickly forgot that she was shopping with her Okaasan just because she saw the boy she likes~" - said Ino's mother as she watched her daughter blush.

"Okaasan!" - exclaimed the Yamanaka heiress as she looked away.

"Fufufu~" - his mother only smiled when she saw this - "Good morning, Kurama-kun"

"Good morning, Miss Yamanaka" - said Kurama greeting her with a smile.

"Miss? Thank you for the compliment" - smiled Ino's mother. Like every woman, she too liked to be praised for her appearance.

"What are you doing here, Kuro-chan?" - Ino asked curiously.

"I am going to check the condition of the old Uzumaki mansion in this area," Kurama said calmly.

"The former home of Mito-sama?" - Ino's mother asked curiously.

"That is right," the redheaded man nodded.

"Are you going to move?" - asked Ino in surprise.

"The house is a bit crowded with Karin and Kin's new presence" - answered the young Uzumaki.

"The Uzumaki and Oto girls?" - asked the Yamanaka heiress again.

"Is there another Uzumaki?!" - asked her mother in surprise.

"Yes, Kuro-kun rescued her at the second test of the Chunin Exams," Ino said calmly.

"Wow... and here I thought Kushina-chan was the last survivor" - said her mother in surprise.

"We also thought we were the last ones... at least the ones who were not hidden" - said Kurama seriously - "And answering your question Ino-chan, yes, both of them"

"Hmm... Okaasan? Do you think I could accompany Kuro-chan?" - Ino asked with an expectant look.

"I don't have a problem with that... it's just that your father..." - said the woman as she sighed with regret.

"Don't even tell me... Otousan has been out of control lately..." - said Ino with a scowl.

"Don't worry Ino-chan, I'll take care of this..." - smiled the woman as she stroked her daughter's hair - "I'm sure that when I'm done with your father, he won't bother you again, at least for a while"

"?" - Ino just gave her a confused look but Kurama understood everything right away, after all, he could feel the change in Ino's mother's aura. If before she was a quiet one, now she was wild and domineering with a slight touch of e.r.o.t.i.cism, it was obvious that she was thinking of locking her husband up for a long time in their room.

"Anyway, go Ino-chan," smiled the woman, "I am going to be a little busy... if possible, I would like you to stay in Kushina-chan's house tonight"

"Okay?" - Ino was much more confused now as Kurama just shook her head while thinking that maybe the person who will need a wheelchair when all this is over is not Ino's mother, but Inoichi.

"Please, Kurama-kun... take care of my daughter and tell Kushina I said hi." - smiled the woman as she retired but not before whispering something in the ear of her little princess, who blushed when the woman finished speaking - "Good luck princess"

". . ." - Ino just kept quiet as she watched her mother disappear from the scene.

"Anything I need to know?" - Kurama asked as he looked at the girl, who now had an embarrassed aura.

"N-N-Nothing!" - exclaimed Ino as she looked away. She was acting like a cat that had just stepped on her tail.

"Okay, I guess." Kurama decided to put all this aside.

* * * * * *

It had been an hour since Ino and Kurama had met, and they had already met with the inhabitants of the Uzumaki residence.

"This is the house I have been expecting from you," said Kin as she looked at the majestic building before him.

The mansion was enormous, three floors to be exact. Its external appearance was not much different from the Daimyo residence, a traditional Japanese black and white mansion.

"Welcome, everyone, to Uzumaki Mansion!" - Kushina exclaimed as she walked toward one of the outer walls that covered the manor estate. It had the Uzumaki symbol on it, and she without a second thought cut off her finger and put some of her blood on it.

Slowly the symbol began to glow bright red as a huge barrier appeared around the mansion.

"!" - The two Genin who had just joined the group was surprised at the sight but quickly calmed down when they saw that at the entrance to the mansion, a small crack was forming in the barrier.

"Come on in... it's time for us to check out our new home" - said Kushina with a smile - "Then I'll give you an Uzumaki seal so you can get through the barrier without opening a crack"

". . ." - the two girls nodded as they entered the mansion.

"Wow..." - Kin murmured in surprise as she looked around - "You can tell the Uzumaki know how to live stylishly..."

She was shocked because she felt she had entered the mansion of one of the leaders of the different Elemental Nations lands.

"The Uzumaki clan is a noble clan, whose birth dates back to the times when the first Senju and Uchiha took their first steps" - said Kushina while commenting on a small fact - "You could say that we are one of the first clans to be born in this world"

". . ." - Kin couldn't believe what she was hearing while Karin filled with pride for her clan.

"Anyway, everyone takes a room but remember that the room on the third floor is Kuro-chan's" - said Kushina seriously.

The others said nothing because they had already been informed that the third floor was the exclusive floor of the clan leader, a tradition that has been maintained since ancient times.

"I hope you brought all your things because you will be able to decorate your rooms as you wish" - smiled the matriarch Uzumaki.

"Hai!" - the women exclaimed as they rushed to the various rooms of the mansion.

* * * * * *

It took another hour for the members to meet again.

"Thank you for helping us with the guest room, Ino-chan" - said Kushina with a smile.

"It's the least I can do after being invited to lunch," smiled the blonde girl.

"Where is Foxy-kun?" - asked Anko as she looked around.

" He said he was going to take a shower because he has to go meet Hinata-chan and Hanabi-chan... something about a celebration they wanted to do" - said Kushina as she remembered what he had told her.

"I forgot that!" - Ino exclaimed in surprise - "Hinata-chan invited me too!"

"I guess you can take a shower right here" - said Kushina with a smile.

"I'll come too" - said Karin - "I feel like I'm so sweaty"

"I'll go with you" - smiled Oto's girl.

"Let's go then," smiled Ino as the three girls walked towards the baths.

"Did you inform them where the guest baths were?" - asked Mikoto as she looked at her friend.

"I forgot!" - exclaimed the matriarch Uzumaki. "Never mind... I'm sure nothing bad will happen"

"I think you forgot that Kurama-kun is bathing right now," Mikoto said seriously.

"This will be fun," Anko smiled as Kushina was silent as she remembered that little detail.

* * * * *

"It's a beautiful place", said Ino while looking around, "You can tell that it was kept in perfect condition, not to mention that because of its antiquity, you can see how conservative the traditional style of the mansion is".

The girls were undressing and were so focused on the place that they didn't realize there were men's clothes in one of the laundry buckets.

She slowly opened the door, gazing in fascination at the outdoor bathroom but froze when she noticed a silhouette inside - "!"

"What the f.u.c.k?!" - exclaimed Kurama in surprise when he saw the girls come in - "What are you doing here?!"

"!" - Ino and Kin blushed when they saw that the boy was completely n.a.k.e.d.

"HE-HE-HE-HENTAI!" - shouted Karin as she took a small bucket to clean herself up and threw it at the redhead.

"I said I wouldn't fall for such a cliché scene as this !" - exclaimed Kurama as he jumped to dodge the attack, but for his bad luck, Karin had learned her lesson, so in mid-air, this lethal little bucket, changed direction and hit the boy's crotch directly.

". . ." - Ino and Kin were left with their mouths open as they looked at Karin who was still red in the face.

"MY CABBAGES !" - shouted the young redhead as he fell straight into the water.

"Kuro-kun!" - exclaimed Ino as he ran to check on him but stopped when she remembered he was still n.a.k.e.d.

"Relax... the bucket is covering his partner," said Kin as she looked at the redhead. "I have to admit, though, that was an accurate attack... the change in trajectory and the perfect angle made it a unique and completely lethal blow"

". . ." - Karin only looked away in shame as she quietly withdrew.
