RiaN Chapter 23

It was shortly after my thirteenth birthday when Kushina pulled me aside after our fuinjutsu lessons. I had grown like a weed under her tutelage, my Uzumaki blood resonated with learning fuinjutsu to a staggering degree. Like a fish to water, I absorbed everything she taught, so I was surprised by what she spoke next. “I can no longer teach you, Tama.”

I looked at her, confused as she continued. “You are now as skilled as I at fuinjutsu.” I could only look at her, confused again, as she continued. “I… Didn’t complete my training under Mito before she passed away. The memories of her made it impossible for me to focus on learning any further, so I gave up on ever finishing the books she left me to learn from…”

I hadn’t noticed the pile of books in the corner of the room until she reached for them. My breath hitched as she continued. “As you are right now, you’re one of the foremost experts on fuinjutsu in the entire village. There might be fewer than five people equivalent to your skill, and almost all of them learned the formations from the Ryuchi family. It means, after you read and understand these books, you might be the best fuinjutsu master in the entire world.”

I was shocked, and my mouth hung open in surprise. It didn’t feel like I was even close to scratching the surface of fuinjutsu. She went on to explain further. “With that… We’re done here. You’re finally free of our lessons and can get back to playing with you-.” I couldn’t help but cut her off. “N-no… I like being taught by you, sensei. Is there nothing else you can teach me?”

She looked almost sheepish as she sighed. “It’s hard teaching a genius. I was told I was gifted at fuinjutsu, but you learned what took me eight years to learn in only three. I’m both happy that the Uzumaki fuinjutsu has a new successor, but sad because it isn’t me. I’m sorry, I just… Need some time to come to terms with this. Can you leave the books behind for now…”

I didn’t want to leave on this bittersweet note. Kushina was possibly the most different character from her anime version. She was kind and smart, competent to the extreme, and a great mother. The only thing that was similar was her attractiveness, and even then, she was still more beautiful than her anime counterpart. Motherhood did her good; her body oozed a milf aura that I hadn’t seen from anyone else yet, except for maybe Mikoto. The only drawback was that her entire personality revolved around her son.

Kushina would only be in her early forties when I reached adulthood; there was still time for her to have more children, and I wanted those children to be mine. Out of sheer desperation, I asked the only thing I could think of. “L-learn with me!” She went from looking sad to shocked as I continued. “You haven’t learned since Mito’s death, but it’s been long enough; you should try again. Yeah, instead of being my sensei, be my rival.”

She scoffed at me as she spoke. “I’m too old to learn, I… I just want to spend the rest of my life taking care of Naruto.” I was getting mad at her now as I blurted out. “That isn’t what Naruto wants, though.” She gave me a stern look before asking with a feigned politeness. “What do you mean by that, Tama?” I scratched the back of my head as I tried to skirt around the issue. “It’s not my place to say Naruto’s secret. Maybe you should ask him.”

She rushed over and tried to hold me down, but it wasn’t the first time she went to pin me when I said something she disagreed with. I was up the same moment she was as I tried to flee the room. Jumping for the open window, for a brief moment, I think I made it, until a chain wrapped around my leg and flung me to the ground so she could hold me down.

Her face was right above mine as she asked again. “What did Naruto tell you!?” Trying to avoid eye contact, she grabbed my face and made me look at her. I knew there was no escaping now, so I told her. “Naruto wants little brothers and sisters… He wants a big family.” I could see her face tinge with a little red as she thought about it.

While she was completely distracted in her own head at the sudden information I gave her, I attacked. Moving slow enough that she didn’t realize what I was doing, I leaned forward and kissed her. Our faces were only inches apart from her questioning me. At first, she didn’t understand what happened until her brain finally caught up.

I didn’t know girls' faces could get that red. She looked like a tomato as she stammered out. “W-w-w-what was that!?” I felt more experienced than her as I told her. “This is me letting you know I’m interested in you. Maybe not now, but when I turn sixteen, which is the legal age of marriage in the city, I’d like to help make Naruto’s dream a reality with you.”

Was bringing up her son's secret dream to get in her pants kind of scummy? Yes. Did I care? Not even a little bit. I knew she was the same way as her son, I saw her staring at other families before, wishing her’s was bigger, but she was too loyal to Minato. Even now, over a decade after his death, she still hasn’t moved on. It would take a colossal effort to break her out of her funk, and that sneak attack was the first step.

She let go as she scurried back to the corner of the room. I thought for sure she’d go for hitting me before running away like that. I guess I was wrong, smirking I explained my plans going forward. “I want you to be my first wife when I turn sixteen. You know why the village wants me to start my own clan. I think everyone would benefit from us getting together.”

Her face was crimson, like a beacon of red as she balled herself up and hit her face away from me with her arms. “W-w-w-why? Why choose me… An old lady as your first wife?” I was taken aback by her statement to the point I had to show her how she made me feel. “Look at my crotch. I’m almost always hard around you. I don’t care about your age, you’re one of the most attractive women in this entire village, and here’s the proof.”

I grabbed my dick through my pants and showed it to her. She covered her face, her eyes peaking through her fingers as she looked at my bulge. For being a mother of a child, she was extremely bashful. “If it were up to me. I’d want to have sex right now, but I know we can’t. We have to wait… I just wanted to let you know how I really felt. I… I think I love you, if not, I’m pretty dang close. I want us to be together, thinking about you being with someone else hurts me. I want to raise a family with you.

I stood up as I went to leave. She finally spoke. “W-wait… I don’t agree just yet… You need to prove yourself to me. If you can master fuinjutsu before you turn sixteen, I’ll agree to becoming your first wife.” With a smile, I walk out. I wanted to rush over and open the books right then, but looking cool was more important at the moment.
