Chapter 80: I, Your Father, Have Witnessed the Passage of Time

As days turned into weeks and the Chunin Exam Finals drew nearer, Wu split his time between training himself, training the girls, going on dates, conversing with Clan Heads, gathering information with his clones, and fucking. Tsunade had expressed concerns about his lack of rest, but he managed to convince her it wasn’t strictly necessary for him after letting her perform a few medical tests.

On a similar note, the blood tests for Karin came back positive, proving once and for all that she was a member of the Uzumaki Clan. And not just any member, but someone tangentially related to the ruling family of Uzu, effectively making her Naruto’s second cousin.

Though Naruto was a little ‘bothered’ by the revelation, largely due to a series of developments that had taken place behind closed doors, Karin was over the moon to discover her heritage. When Hiruzen extended her an invitation to become an official citizen of Konoha, she eagerly filled out the paperwork and signed the Clan Register. What no one expected, sans Wu and Naruto, was for her to candidly inquire about the protections and benefits afforded to participants in the Clan Restoration Act.

Due to Karin’s ‘unique’ constitution, the distance between her and Naruto, the boy she viewed as her savior, shrank rapidly. Naruto did his best not to take advantage of her, but Karin was having none of that, sneaking into the boy’s room during their fifth night of cohabitation. She was aware that her actions were being closely monitored, but that actually ‘encouraged’ her to lock Naruto down as quickly as possible, securing her place within the village.

Though Naruto would be the Head of the Uzumaki Clan once he became old enough to sit on the Council, it was clear to everyone who wore the pants in his and Karin’s relationship. The latter went from a meek girl who was constantly looking over her shoulder to a ‘firm hand’ that had Naruto wrapped around her pinky finger. Thus, when she broached the subject of the CRA, the blonde-haired Jinchuriki could only laugh nervously as Karin talked about having five, ten, even twenty children on the village’s payroll.

Luckily for Karin and, to a lesser extent, Naruto, the village was more than willing to support the restoration of the Uzumaki Clan. Not just because it was one of the more potent bloodlines in the entire world, but because it was only a matter of time before they needed a replacement Jinchuriki for the Nine Tails. The only lineage strong enough to adequately seal such a powerful creature was the Uzumaki, so if Naruto had perished or failed to produce a qualified successor, Konoha would have found itself in a rather dire predicament.

Though Tailed Beasts could be ‘killed,’ it was only a matter of time before they reformed somewhere in the Elemental Nations. After that, they were fair game for any village that could seal them. The only notable exception to this was the Nine-Tails, as it took someone on the level of Hashirama to defeat it, much less seal it away. Other villages had attempted to capture it before Hashirama, but every single attempt failed, often with disastrous consequences.

With Naruto being from the direct line of Uzu Royalty and Karin being a close but ‘distant enough’ relative, their children were virtually guaranteed to inherit the highly coveted traits of the Uzumaki. The mother was often the most critical factor in this regard, so as someone who had inherited an atavistic trait of the ancient Uzumaki, Karin’s children or, more accurately, her daughters had a decent chance to inherit the same gene. This meant inordinately high Chakra reserves, innate sealing talent, and tremendous vitality, so Konoha was more than happy to endorse Karin’s invocation of the Clan Restoration Act.

After filling out all the necessary paperwork, Karin dragged Naruto back to their shared abode, the two ‘disappearing’ into the interior for several weeks. When Naruto finally emerged, he was like a completely different person, his back a little straighter and his gaze noticeably more ‘intense’ despite some seriously dark circles under his eyes. He couldn’t compete with Gaara, but he could easily give Shikamaru a run for his money.

Speaking of Gaara, the burgundy-haired brat had mellowed out quite a bit in a short period. The ability to sleep peacefully had done wonders for the previously bloodthirsty youth, so much so that he had confided in Temari that he no longer wished to take part in the invasion. He still intended to, for the sake of his village, but there was a significant difference between following orders and feeling euphoric at the notion of slaughter.

With the various changes her brother was experiencing, it would be an understatement to state that Temari was relieved. At the same time, however, she was equally concerned. She didn’t want Gaara to have to transform if he didn’t want to, but she had also come to terms with the ‘necessity’ of the invasion. Suna was in desperate need of reform, just not with her father at the helm.

As far as Temari was concerned, the only person who could conceivably replace her father in the current system was Gaara. Wu, however, viewed things a little differently. Ever since his discussion with Hiruzen, he was seriously toying with the idea of seating his wives as the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Nations. If he could achieve that, not only would he be able to fuck a Kage in each of their offices, but his power and influence would be near-absolute. Thus, while he supported Temari’s decision, Wu would be lying if he said their goals aligned completely…

With the Finals taking place the following day, Wu was given each of the girls a massage in his room. They had worked hard over the past month, so he was rewarding them in a way that didn’t involve fucking them until they were unconscious. He knew that brought them the greatest amount of pleasure, but Tsunade was slowly teaching him that sex involved more than mere physical gratification. There was an emotional component to it that he had been overlooking, so Wu was doing his best to focus on acts of intimacy that didn’t involve sex while allowing the girls to approach and take the lead themselves.

Though his passive approach led to him being ridden by Ino nearly every chance she got, Wu didn’t particularly mind. He liked brave and assertive women, and it required very little effort to just kick back and relax while Ino did her best to make him cum before she did. She had yet to succeed, but she was making steady progress as she figured out the best ways to utilize her body, both inside and out.

Curiously enough, Hinata was also pretty assertive, albeit in a markedly different way. She seemed to have come to terms with the fact she was the person the other girls went to when they had questions or concerns about sex.

For reasons Hinata couldn’t understand, even Tenten viewed her as the most mature member of the group, so, every now and then, she would go to Wu asking if she could try a few things she had read about during one of her secret, late-night study sessions. She felt a peculiar obligation to live up to the other girls’ expectations, so she was slowly accumulating a mountain of dirty magazines and even a few VHS tapes, studying each of them seriously so that she was prepared to answer their questions or give a proper ‘demonstration.’

As Hinata’s ‘earnestness’ was purely beneficial to him, Wu was more than happy to help the blunette explore her sexuality far beyond the threshold of her natural comfort zone. Most of the other girls simply wanted to have sex because it felt good. Hinata was no different, but she was also making an earnest effort to ‘master’ the act. Thus, she was almost always the first to try new positions, familiarizing herself with the basics and taking notes that she could defer to later. Then, the next time they had sex as a group, she would recommend the position to the other girls, providing a detailed explanation about how it should feel and how it should affect their partner before giving a live demonstration.

By working hard to meet their expectations, Hinata was gradually gaining the other girls’ respect. The original reason they had deferred to her was because she was Wu’s lawful wife and the first within their group to have sex. Once she began actively teaching them, however, they began taking her teachings seriously, cementing her place within the group’s hierarchy, just below Tsunade.

Though Tsunade didn’t initially consider herself a part of the girls’ group, she gradually lowered her guard after teaching, bathing, and eating with the girls every day for a month. She felt out of place due to the ‘massive’ differences in their ages, but because of her appearance, the other girls treated her as more of a big sister than an auntie or a granny. A person’s environment had a significant impact on the way they behaved, so by the time the training came had come to an end, Tsunade was engaging in girl’s talk and acting more like an actual teenager than someone that had passed fifty.

Emblematic of this change, Tsunade eventually agreed to accompany Wu on a date after holing herself inside the Senju Clan Compound since their marriage. The thought of being regarded as a cradle robber by the people in the village had made her apprehensive about ever going out again, but Wu had managed to convince her by saying something along the lines of other people can go fuck themselves and that he was the luckiest guy in the world for being able to fuck her.

While Wu’s words weren’t the most tasteful, they had been compelling enough to get Tsunade to hit the town with him. They garnered ‘a lot’ of attention, but most of the looks directed at them were simple curiosity or outright envy directed at Wu. Tsunade had expected everyone to eye her with judgmental stares or disgust, so she was more than a little surprised when their paths crossed with members of the reigning Clans who simply greeted her with politeness or respect.

Fortunately for Tsunade, Wu wasn’t the type to leave things to chance, so he only took her to places owned and operated by the Clan Heads he had been lobbying to ensure Karin’s smooth integration into the village. During those chats, he made sure to broach the subject of his happily married life on more than one occasion, making it very clear to everyone involved that he cherished his marriage to Tsunade.

Since pretty much everyone understood that Wu was going to be a major player in both Konoha and the Shinobi World as a whole, very few people were willing to make an enemy out of him. His status as ‘Saiko Dadi’ was a known secret to everyone ranked Jonin or higher, so even if they privately disapproved of Tsunade’s marriage to a boy 37 years her junior, everyone greeted her with a smile.

Though Tsunade quickly realized what was happening, she felt gratified simply knowing Wu was willing to go to such lengths to try and ensure her peace of mind. Thus, even though she was secretly very trepidatious, she did her best to portray herself as the outgoing, somewhat temperamental woman most people knew her as. Things got significantly easier once she got a bit of sake into her system, but the real kicker was when Wu carried her across the sky on his back, the evening air helping her to sober her up until they reached the estate. Then, instead of trying to take advantage of her drunken state, Wu helped her get changed into her nightwear before simply cradling her until she fell asleep. To express her gratitude, Tsunade awoke him the following morning with a deep-throated paizuri, something she never thought she would do for any man…

With several other significant events occurring throughout, it had been a very ‘eventful’ month for Wu…
