I, Your Father, Carry a Big Stick

Chapter 96: I, Your Father, Bring Gifts

Astonished by the power of her attack, Mei’s mind blanked for several seconds before she shouted, “Ao! Do it now…!”

As the location Mei’s ‘javelin’ had struck was his lower abdomen, Yagura was temporarily unable to channel the power of the Three-Tails. He was regenerating quickly, but Ao had more than enough time to Shunshin over and place his palm on the half-conscious Jinchuriki’s head, his free hand forming a half-ram seal as he shouted, “Release!”

Immediately following Ao’s shout, the light within Yagura’s peculiar, hot-pink irises immediately faded. At the same time, blood began leaking from his ears and nose as his eyes rolled toward the back of his head. His brain was effectively liquefying in his skull, forcing Wu to make an appearance, temporarily stemming the process as he said, “You should probably hurry and prepare the transference ritual.”

Understanding it probably wasn’t the best time to argue, Ao gave a curt nod, responding, “Right…” before calling out to Haku and instructing the young, incredibly feminine-looking boy to lie next to Yagura. Haku’s faith in Zabuza and, as a result, Mei was unshakeable. Thus, while most would lament being chosen as a Jinchuriki, the androgynous youth removed his mask and all the clothes from his upper body before lying next to Yagura, a relaxed, unwavering expression on his face.

Exhibiting he wasn’t a completely irredeemable cunt, Zabuza knelt next to Haku, his usually fierce eyes softening as he asserted, “From now on, you will no longer be my tool. Instead, you will become one of Kiri’s guardians, as well as its greatest weapon…”

Adopting a faint smile, Haku replied, “Even if I serve the village, I will always belong to Zabuza-sama…” before raising his right hand with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Zabuza’s left eye twitched in response, but after several seconds of Mei staring at him with a massive grin and a fiery look, he eventually gave in, accepting the boy’s hand and squeezing it as Ao inscribed a complex sealing formula around Haku’s navel. A little less than half an hour later, Kirigakure had itself a brand new Jinchuriki…

Though Yagura’s death was the most significant obstacle, orchestrating a coup was seldom a straightforward affair. Yagura’s actions may have been universally criticized outside of Kiri, but a number of people supported his policies within the village. In the end, it took three days for the resistance forces to seize Kiri and eliminate those who most fervently opposed Mei’s nomination as Mizukage. A few managed to escape and would likely form a resistance faction of their own, but that was nothing unusual in the Land of Water, perpetually shrouded in mist.

To make things a little easier for his most recently acquired wife, Wu gave a 10, 20, and 50-year peach to the Water Daimyo to gain his endorsement and ensure he would be ‘cooperative’ in future negotiations. The man was a lot younger than the average Daimyo, only 38 years old, but no Noble in their right mind would refuse a ‘heavenly treasure’ that could prolong their life or bring them back from the brink of death.

With the Water Daimyo lending legitimacy to her claim and most of her political opponents deceased or in hiding, Mei was officially declared the Godaime Mizukage a mere eleven days after the coup. To celebrate, she let Wu actualize his dream of fucking a Kage in their own office, the two of them going at it for nearly seven hours before she yielded and begged for clemency. After that, she knew never to goad or tease Wu unless she was willing to accept the consequences…

Immediately following their incredibly intense session of lovemaking, Wu had Mei nestled in his embrace atop her chair, a dazed look on her face as she struggled to process the stimulation she had just endured.

Picking a few strands of hair from the beautiful woman’s face, Wu ushered her back to awareness as he revealed, “Now that you are Mizukage, I’ll be returning to Konoha. My presence here will only serve as a distraction, so I will only stop by once or twice a month until things settle down.”

After suppressing her initial urge to ‘refuse’ Wu’s departure, Mei returned her head to his shoulder and replied, “I understand. If anything happens, I’ll send a telegraph to Konoha to apprise you of the situation. Be sure to set up a receiver in the Senju Clan Compound the moment you return…”

Nodding his head, Wu appended, “I can do much better than that. Once my grand-uncle-in-law returns from his journey, I’ll have him come over and set up a teleportation array. He’s a bit of a pioneer when it comes to Space-Time Jutsu, so I should be able to travel back and forth between Kiri and Konoha in an instant once it’s established.”

“Mmm…I see…”

Though she was bound to be stunned when Wu showed up with Tobirama in tow, the current Mei was just glad to know he wouldn’t have to fly more than 5000 kilometers to meet her in the future. If he provided her with the ‘activation key,’ she could even hop over to Konoha whenever she felt like it. That would probably have to wait until Wu had completed his objective of unifying the Great Shinobi Nations, but she could wait four to five years if it meant being able to travel and trade freely in the future.

Planting a kiss on Wu’s cheek, Mei said, “I’ll be sure to work hard while you’re away. I’m expecting a reward and plenty of gifts when you return.”

Hugging the auburn-haired woman closer, Wu narrowed his eyes and replied, “Of course…” in a smoldering tone. He loved it when his women did their best, so, with a few hours remaining until sunrise, he made sure to ‘reward’ her plentily in advance…

…

As it had been nearly a month since his departure, Wu completed the journey between Kiri and Konoha in under three hours. He had set out shortly after sunrise, so it was only around 9 AM by the time he touched down in the bustling streets of Konoha.

Though he had picked up plenty of souvenirs for the girls during his stay in Kiri, Wu took the time to purchase fresh meat, vegetables, and several bouquets from Ino’s mom before returning to the Senju Clan Compound. The brown-eyed brunette had given him a bit of disproving look when he showed up, but she had largely come to terms with the fact her daughter was dating a married man and a ‘notorious’ playboy.

Unfortunately, Ino happened to be away on a mission in the Land of Hot Water, so Wu didn’t encounter her upon reaching the estate. Instead, he found Tayuya lounging atop the main gate, ignoring the many people who gawked at her transformed state while playing her flute.

Instead of disturbing the exotic-looking redhead, Wu sat atop her head and listened to the lonely-sounding melody she was producing. According to Kushina, members of the Uzumaki Clan were prone to feeling lonesome when the person they most cherished wasn’t around. Tayuya vehemently repudiated this claim, but the sounds produced by her flute were always honest.

Finished with her solitary performance, Tayuya exhaled a sigh, catching Wu a little off guard as she whispered, “Just come back already…”

Realizing it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to ‘surprise’ her as he was initially intending, Wu alighted from Tayuya’s head and relocated to just outside of her sensory range before growing to his full size and walking into it. The moment he did so, he could sense her Chakra fluctuating in surprise before moving toward him rapidly.

Though it cracked the ground beneath her, Tayuya landed in front of Wu with a ‘vicious’ expression on her face as she growled, “It’s about damn time you showed up. Did you have fun philandering about in the Land of Water?”

Instead of reacting as Tayuya anticipated, Wu grabbed the two horns framing her face, forcefully changing the angle of her head so he could kiss her without stabbing himself. She initially panicked when he did so but didn’t attempt to break free from his clutches. Instead, after flailing her hands and arms for a bit, she ended up linking them around him and submitting to her true feelings.

Nearly three minutes later, Wu separated his lips from Tayuya’s, a thin strand of saliva briefly linking them until he licked it away and asserted, “I missed you, tomato-head…”

Though she scrunched up her nose when Wu called her ‘tomato-head,’ Tayuya didn’t complain as it was better than ‘horny habanero.’ She also missed him more than she would ever admit, so she ultimately rolled her eyes and replied, “Whatever…” before extricating herself from his embrace and glaring menacingly at the people gawking at them.

Freeing the onlookers from Tayuya’s withering stare, Wu pulled out a bouquet of white hydrangea flowers, presenting them to the stunned girl as he said, “Just one of the many gifts I’ve prepared…”

Staring at the proferred flowers, Tayuya’s face gradually formed into a frown as she softly asserted, “Flowers don’t exactly suit a girl like me…”

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Wu replied, “I disagree…your horns give the impression of thorns, and your hair is reminiscent of a rose in full bloom. These hydrangeas may not be able to compare to your beauty, but they most definitely suit such a rare and exotic blossom…”

“…”

Suppressing the urge to call Wu an idiot, Tayuya accepted the flowers and gave them a tentative whiff. She still didn’t believe they suited her, but at least they smelled nice…

…

With Tayuya following close behind him, holding onto her bouquet with both hands, Wu made a brief stopover at the guest compounds of Kuro and the Kazekage siblings. The former didn’t really like it when he called her Kuro, meaning black, but that just prompted Wu to keep using it.

As it was still early in the day, meaning everyone was still executing their morning training, Wu found Temari, Kuro, and even Kankuro standing atop pillars of stone, each garbed in vests weighing hundreds to thousands of kilograms as they maintained a squatting posture.

Though they spotted Wu long before his arrival, the trio maintained their postures as they were currently competing to see who could endure the longest. Gaara was also present, but he spent the vast majority of his time meditating or building constructs using his sand. He was nearly as gifted as Sakura when it came to Chakra Control and, due to his Kekkei Genkai, Magnet Release, he benefitted more from focusing his mind and refining his sand manipulation than training his body.

Despite wearing the least weight and being the only boy atop the pillars, Kankuro released a frustrated groan before being the first to give up. He had neglected his physical development since his chosen profession was much more technical than intensive. Temari, on the other hand, had been swinging around progressively heavier fans since she was four years old. Her current fan weighed 300kgs, and while that wasn’t too much, it was a fair amount considering she was a Ninjutsu specialist.

Outclassing just about every other girl her age, at least in terms of raw power, Kurotsuchi was currently supporting 10,000kgs on her torso and 1000kgs on each of her limbs. Her specialties were Earth and Corrosion Release, so she was accustomed to reinforcing her punches and kicks with incredibly dense stone. As a result, the only person that exceeded her in terms of strength, at least from their age group, was Tayuya in her transformed state.

With Temari eventually falling onto her butt, a teasing sneer developed across Kuro’s face as she remarked, “Looks like I win again. Better luck next time, handlebars.”

Rolling her eyes, Temari responded with a lazy, “Yeah, yeah…” before deactivating the seal on her vest, reducing its weight to a meager 90kgs. She was too tired to argue, so she ignored the stone-headed girl, sat up, and remarked, “You’ve returned. Welcome back, Wu.” with an affectionate smile typically reserved for her brothers.

Though she didn’t like being ignored, Kuro also turned her attention to Wu, asking, “Bring me any souvenirs?”

Nodding his head, Wu surprised both girls by pulling out bouquets of their favorite flowers, stating, “There’s more where this came from. For now, I’ll place these in your rooms until you’re finished with your training.”

Hearing Wu’s response, noticeably wry smiles developed across the faces of the two girls. They were initially planning to end their training early, but his words reminded them that he prioritized their progress over just about everything else. Thus, even though they seldom saw eye to eye, the two girls exchanged glances before simultaneously exhaling sighs…
