Third Person's POV;

Dexter slept for a few hours before he got woken up by his mother, she came inside his room and wanted to inform him that Pakura was awake and wanted to speak to him.

He got dressed and followed Kushina into their living room, where he saw Pakura and Mikoto. Both were sitting on the dinning table and talking with each other.

“You wanted to speak with me?”, asked Dexter. He sat down on the opposite of them. Pakura smiled weakly and gave Dexter an appraising look. She didn't saw his face before, but now that she is able to see it, she had to admit that he was really good looking. The fox ears were cute and his slitted eyes made him look a little dangerous, a hot kind of dangerous. His tails were nowhere to be seen, is he able to make them vanish?

She waited until Kushina was sitting as well before she started to speak;

“Yes, I'm ready to agree to become a Jonin instructor for your Genin, if you're able to protect me from Suna and possible Kiri assassins. I also want to be present in case you start a war with Suna.”

“Sure, neither Kiri nor Suna Ninja will be able to breach our barriers and we are way better protected against betrayal this time, so it won't be a problem to protect you while you are inside Uzu. The outside is something different. While we aren't hostile with one of them per se, we aren't allied as well. So they might attack you when they recognize you. This, however, presupposes that they know of your survival. Something unlikely, yet possible.

I think Suna will declare that Kiri betrayed them and attacked the whole group. You and the rest defended yourselves and killed each other. The lack of your body can be explained by the forest fire.

So it might even be that Suna stays in the war with Kiri”, explained Dexter.

This somewhat surprised Pakura. Not that Suna might stay at war with Kiri, but that Dexter didn't want her to spread her bloodline. Nearly every village, except for Kiri, would have demanded her to go in the CRA or something similar. But here she is, sitting in front of a village leader that not even once spoke about her bloodline.

“What about my bloodline?”, she finally asked. She had to know. She couldn't accept any offer without being sure that she won't be used as a breeding horse.

“What about it? It allows you to heat things up doesn't it?”, he asked back.

She was unsure how she should react to this. While it was true that she only heats things up, it does so much more to the enemy. But she didn't want to praise her skills too high, or else she might really have to go into the CRA. But on the other side, they clearly only helped her for her bloodline, so too little advertisement and they might not want to keep her.

She decided to speak truthfully about her fears; “I wanted to ask if you will force me into the CRA”.

Dexter looked at her for a moment and then grinned. A grin that made Pakura both fearful of his next sentence and slightly aroused. Why does he have to look so fucking good without his mask?

What she didn't know was that Dexter's effect on other women was something that Kurama annoyed to no end. The fact that she was responsible for this effect wasn't helping either. On top of that was his constant, by now not even knowingly done, Chakra manipulation in his voice.

He then ripped her out of her thoughts with his next words; “We won't force you into the CRA. It's an old and stupid thing. But if you want to, you can get pregnant, not my concern. That is something that everybody has to decide for themselves. You look good enough to find someone fairly fast”.

Wait, what? They didn't want her to repopulate her clan? And he thinks she does look good?

“Well then, I'm sorry but I have to leave. There are things I still have to do. My Mom will help you to get settled in”, he then said and stood up. Pakura had to refocus again, he was leaving? Now? But they could speak a little more, maybe eat something and get to know each other.

He was nicer than his mask suggests and he looks hot.

It's not like she wanted to jump in the next bed with him, yet. And he did say that she looks good. Sadly, any thoughts were stopped when she realized that he was waiting for her to say something.

“Eh, yes. Thanks for taking me in, maybe we can go eat something in the future?”, she quickly said and had to suppress the blush from her obvious attempt to ask him out. A bad attempt to boot.

“Sure”, he said with his half grin half smile, damn does that look hot.

Sadly Dexter vanished in a flash of yellowish-red and she was alone with the red haired woman that seemed to be his mother and the black haired woman, whose connection with Dexter she didn't know yet.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Kushina's POV:

I watched the expressions of this girl and knew what went through her head. *sigh* Dexter did it again. Even I have to agree that he is really good looking. He isn't even aware of how many girls he's having crushing on him. He does not even notice them. Only Kura-chan is inside his head, pun not intended. Every other woman isn't even seen as a potential partner.

Even Mi-chan asked me recently if Dexter is interested in older women. My son is seducing women left and right, while not even knowing it.

“Don't get any hopes”, I said tiredly and Pakura looked at me.

She frowned a little and then looked smugly;”Why? Do you think that I'm not good enough for your son? He said I am pretty”, she said in defense, crossed her arms under her breasts and pushed them a little up while doing so. She had all signs of a woman with a crush.

“He did, but he already has a girlfriend. My son isn't even aware of his effect on women. Sure he will notice your crush at some point, but only much much later.

It took him half a year to notice the crush that his teammate has on him. And he was spending the better part of the day with her”, I explained and she deflated heavily.

“Really?”, she asked and looked at Mi-chan, who could only smile in sympathy.

“I know, he saved me too, even if the circumstances were a little different”, she said and patted the head of the now depressed girl.

“Yeah, you should have seen it. Mi-chan threw her naked self at my son and he didn't even bat an eye”, I said while laughing and Mi-chan went beet red.

“I didn't throw myself at him. I was just too shocked with the massacre of my clan, the previous fight, and your sight”, she said in defense.

Pakura perked up and looked questioningly at me.

“What does she mean?”, she asked.

“Mi-chan here is one of the last survivors of the Uchiha clan. My son saved her from the massacre. However, she misinterpreted his attempts and attacked him. He beat her and she got knocked out. Then, while I was washing her, she woke up again, realised that Dexter might be able to help her and rushed out of the bath, stark naked”, I explained while giggling heavily.

“Uchiha? But I thought they were all dead, except for this Itachi and Sasuke”, said Pakura in confusion.

“No, my sons aren't the only survivors. There are five other children as well”, said Mi-chan, while glaring at me for telling such an embarrassing part of her.

“So you are the mother of the legendary Itachi Uchiha?”, asked Pakura with a stunned expression.

“Yes, but let's not talk about me. What about you? Tell us about yourself, how did Dexter save you?”, said Mi-chan. She then opened a bottle of wine and gave each of us a glass.

Pakura looked down at the wine, then shrugged and began to speak about herself.

I have to say, Dexter-kun knows how to find them. Pakura is a good woman, Suna doesn't even know what they threw away. And it's not only her, this Yakumo girl as well and other missing Ninja we found during the years are also strong and good additions.

I smiled fondly while listening to Pakura's story of hers and Dexter's fight against over a dozen ANBU ranked Ninja.

I really have a fine son.

Dexter's POV;

°Well, that went fairly well. Didn't think that she would agree on it so fast°, I said. I was now inside the forest behind Tazuna's house and my blood clone was already on his way to me.

°Yes? I don't like her°, replied Kura-chan.

°Why? She's friendly and will help Uzu a lot. Her Jutsu will be a great addition to us. Nothing is better than the Jutsu knowledge of other villages. She must know a few fairly high ranked Jutsu°, I said in defense of her.

°You wouldn't understand°, she huffed. I shrugged and waited for my clone to reach me. Said clone arrived a few moments later and dispelled himself once he was in front of me.

His memories flashed through me and I groaned at them.

°What happened?°, asked Kura-chan. I finished sorting all the memories and walked back to Tazuna's house.

°Sakura is annoying and Sasuke a prick. Lee won't stop asking Sakura out and TenTen is obviously trying to tell me how she feels about me°, I answered.

Seems like Lee asked Sakura out for a date the moment he saw her, of course, she declined. Which didn't stop Lee from trying again and again and again.

Sasuke is constantly brooding and, since the fight at the bridge, glaring at me and Lee. He wasn't too pleased with his paralyzed state and demanded a fight between him and me.

My clone obviously refused, which angered him. He then wanted to fight Lee but was rejected by him as well. We both argued that we are still on a mission and not supposed to fight with each other.

Of course, Sasuke stated that every enemy will flee in sight of him, an Uchiha.

Kakashi thankfully stepped in, before Sasuke had any ideas of fighting us without our consents.

The mood is sour since then.

But we're only spending one more day here, Naruto helped with his clones and there isn't much more to do with the bridge.

I also already have all the documents from Gato's mansion and will speak to the villagers once the Konoha teams are gone.

But for now I have to be the night watch, well at least the weather is clear and we have a beautiful full moon.

°Sounds like your clone had a good time°, mused Kura-chan. I could only sigh and sat down on the roof of the house.

°The night sure is nice. Wished you could be out with me and lay next to me°, I said and switched the topic.

°Yes, I do too°, agreed Kura-chan. She mostly got over her fear of coming out of the seal. Nowadays she sometimes gets jealous of other women for their ability to be near my real body.

I think her being literally inside my head, something that binds us closer than any other woman could be, is better but she disagrees with me there. She said she wants to touch my real body and not only my mind projected one.

Mindsex is kinda cool.

°Free me...my child°.

Da fuck?

°Kura-chan? Are you playing tricks on me?°, I asked.

°What do you mean?°, she asked back. She sounded generously confused and I couldn't feel humorous emotions as well.

°Help...me°.

°There it was again. Someone is speaking to me°, I said.

°I can't hear anything°, said Kura-chan.

Whoever was speaking with me wasn't speaking directly to me. It sounded more like Kura-chan's and my conversations. But the voice was feminine and obviously held Chakra in it.

I reached out with my sensory skills but only felt the normal people. TenTen was awake and coming to me, the rest was sleeping. No sign of an unknown person.

°So much rage....°, said the female voice in pain. I concentrated harder and searched for the Chakra signature that I felt in her voice. It felt familiar, however, I couldn't find her. She wasn't inside the village or even on the island.

“Dexter-kun?”.

I spun around and saw TenTen. I completely forgot about her and didn't notice when she reached me.

“Yes?”, I asked, still sensing for the Chakra.

She fidgeted a little and looked to the ground before she opened her mouth;” Can we talk?”, she then asked and I motioned for her to sit down next to me. She did so hurriedly and also looked up.

“A beautiful moon”, she said.

I stayed silent and looked at the moon. Could it be?

“Dexter”, said TenTen. TenTen was standning again and looked down at me.

“Yes?”, I asked again.

“Is...is there someone you like?”, she asked uncertainly.

“Yes”, I said for a third time, not really paying attention and still glancing at the moon behind her. The prison of the Juubi is truly something remarkable.

“How...how is she? I mean what do you like about her?”, she asked again and I forced myself to focus on her.

°Is she really confessing now?°, I asked Kura-chan.

°Seems so°, she replied.

“She's the prettiest woman I know, her voice is as beautiful as the song of thousand songbirds and her personality is the greatest I know”, I said and felt Kura-chan blushing under the praise from me. I even meant everything. Kura-chan is the best thing I could hope to find and makes up for the shitty childhood by far.

“Is that so?”, said TenTen in a somewhat hopeful tone.

“Do... does she live in Konoha?”, she then asked while twiddling with her fingers.

°Don't play with her°, said Kura-chan and I forced my grin from showing. TenTen was fishing for information and hoping that they were pointing at her.

“Kinda, her name is Kurama”, I said and TenTen visibly deflated.

“You mean she's from the Kurama clan?”, she then asked.

“No, her name is only Kurama, but she's not in Konoha as of now”.

None of us said anything else. I was too focused on the voice and TenTen seemed to be mopping around and sat back down. Must suck to know that your crush isn't returned.

“Ähm, what do you think about the other Genin team?”, she then asked in an obvious try to break the silence.

“Sakura is useless, Sasuke an arrogant prick and Naruto is a loner”, I said and TenTen giggled.

“Yes, Sakura is really useless, she got beaten by two thugs. Did you know that I kinda had a crush on Sasuke once?”, she said amused.

“Sounds like her. Had a crush? What happened?”, I asked.

“I meet someone better”, she said and glanced down at me, but quickly turned away once our eyes met.

°Poor girl should know better than to fall in love with my Dex-kun°, said Kura-chan matter of factly.

“And? Is he interested? Do I know him? Should I help?”, I asked with a grin.

“Sadly no, he loves someone else and doesn't know that I like him. And you do know him”, she said in a dejected tone.

“Is it Lee? I know that he claims to love Sakura, but that is only a phase”, I joked and TenTen sputtered denials out as fast as she could until she saw my grin and began to laugh.

“It isn't Lee. Maybe I tell you some other time”, she said after she calmed down and stood up to leave.

“Sure”, I replied and watched as she jumped down from the house.

°You think she will tell you?°, asked Kura-chan.

°Maybe°, I replied. The rest of the night was spent with talking to Kura-chan and watching the moon. The voice didn't speak again and Kura-chan thinks I imagined it.

The next day we finished the bridge and Tazuna called it 'Bridge of Hope' for the hope they have to get back on their feet on their own. A good name, even if it's false hope. A blood clone will come in a week or two and tell them that they are now under him. It won't be a forceful rule or even a bad one. They will even prosper under him, but they still will be ruled.

Saskue demanded a few more fights on the way back but was smoothly ignored by me and Lee. I didn't spare him even a glance, which angered him and made Sakura screech in her banshee tone. And Lee was too busy with confessing to Sakura.

Guy was asking his Eternal Rival for a match and Kakashi ignored him while reading his porn.

TenTen was still depressed from her failed confession and my Naruto clone brooded darkly on his own. In short, nothing happened during our way back.

--------------------------

Third Person's POV:

“I'm home Yuugao-nee”, said Dexter while taking his off shoes.

“Glad to know you are back, how was your support mission in wave?”, asked Yuugao who came out of her room to greet Dexter.

“Fine, we had to fight some Ninja. Didn't take long, much more important is that I got a present”, replied Dexter.

“A present? From whom? Was it a girl?”, asked Yuugao eager to tease her little brother.

“No, it was Kakashi”, said Dexter excited and Yuugao already feared what might come next.

“Look, it's this book. It's cool, but what is 69 and Deepthroat?”, asked Dexter while taking out a book from his pockets. It was orange in color and had the signature headline of every IchaIcha Paradise book known to the world.

“Could I please have that book for a moment?”, asked Yuugao in a sickly sweet voice. Dexter knew that tone. It was one of the unique tones a female could make. It doesn't matter which race. Even Kurama could make it. They are similar to the grunts a male can make.

And they too had a meaning. This one meant that he should give her the book as fast as he could, or he will face some serious trouble.

So with thoughts of these, he gave her the said book and had to watch as she burned the piece of literature into ashes.

“Now please go in your room, if you're hungry, food is in the fridge. I have to go out for a moment, visiting a friend”, she then said in the same sickly sweet tone and left through the door.

Dexter did as requested and shortly after heard the painful screams of a male or a pig, depends on the listener. It seems like the individual was under the process of being either butchered or neutered. Both without any anesthetics.

°That was mean°, told Kurama a laughing Dexter between her own laughs.
