Cap 168: ¿Eh? (3)

"What's up, girls?" - Ino asked curiously as she watched the reactions of her friends.

"I think they reacted that way because of Kurama's new look..." - Neji muttered as he shook his head - "I have to admit that he has changed in the last three years"

"?" - the others gave him a confused look but their expressions varied as they saw the redhead approach.

"Okay, I have a desire to curse my father for not having better genes..." - murmured Kiba as Haku patted him on the shoulder - "Take it easy, Kiba-kun... no matter how much time passes, I'll always love you... no matter how much better looking other boys are..."

". . ." - Kiba could hardly resist the urge to cry when he heard this while the others shook their heads.

"Wow... Mama like" - said Anko when she saw Kurama's new look. He had red hair like Kushina that reached halfway down his back, he was wearing a red kimono with gold fox details that showed his firm pecs, and he wasn't wearing any shoes or sandals.

"Daddy!" - Izumi exclaimed as she ran to her father.

"Izumi-chan!" - Mikoto exclaimed in surprise and concern, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kurama slow down and take her princess, only to start running at full speed again in another direction.

"Does anyone understand what the fuck happened?" - asked Tayuya, who had woken up, only to be knocked out again.

"Tayuya said a bad word!" - exclaimed Naruto as he burst out laughing as he saw the pink-haired girl lying on the ground foaming.

"Leaving aside the bad word she said, I'm curious about what's going on too," said Kin.

"I think I already know the answer," said Neji as he pointed in the direction Kurama had come, only to see a woman with long reddish-brown hair approaching at full speed. She was beautiful to say the least, looking about 25-30 years old, wearing a one piece blue dress that didn't cover her shoulders - "Where are you, Kurama-kun~?!"

"Okay, that makes sense" - whispered those present as Hiruzen cried at the sight of having to work for 2 weeks on Kakashi's paperwork.

"Sorry to bother you but... by any chance have you seen a sexy 18 year old boy with red hair come through here?" - said the woman, and now that they saw her up close, they noticed how she had a body comparable to Kushina and Mikoto's, along with some beautiful emerald greens eyes.

Those present were silent as they watched the woman radiate an aura of seduction despite doing nothing.

"Over there..." - Kakashi said as he pointed unconsciously in the direction where Kurama had escaped.

"Thank you very much~" - the woman smiled as she ran at full speed again - "You will not escape from me, Uzumaki Kurama~!"

"Why did you tell her where Kurama-sama escaped?!" - exclaimed Tina as she looked at her boyfriend.

"Huh?" - Kakashi reacted when he heard his girlfriend's words, only to pale when he noticed the look Kushina and the other women were giving him - "Hehehe..."

". . ." - Kin started thinking for a few seconds because she felt she knew that woman from somewhere.

"Is something wrong, Kin-chan?" - Kushina asked, noticing the change in the girl's expression.

"No... it's just that I feel I know that woman..." - replied the former kunoichi from Oto - "But I don't remember where"

"Now that you mention it, I feel I've known her too..." - added Tina - "But it's impossible... because I haven't been out of Konoha in a long time"

"How did you know I ran in this direction, Terumi-san?!" - Kurama exclaimed in the distance.

"The power of love! And a guy with scarecrow hair!" - shouted the Terumi woman - "And I've told you a hundred times to call me Mei-chan, Darling~!"

"Terumi Mei?!" - exclaimed Tina as she opened her eyes in surprise - "I remember! She's Kiri's new Mizukage after the Resistance managed to defeat the old tyrant Yagura!"

"!" - The people present opened their eyes in surprise as they saw a VIP in their village.

"This is fun, Naruto Nii-chan!" - Izumi exclaimed happily as she was carried by a swift Kurama.

"Okaasan! I want to go Wosh as Izumi-chan too!" - Naruto exclaimed as he looked at his mother.

"Etto... then you can tell your father to carry you at full speed..." - replied Kushina with a forced smile.

"Sorry for the trouble..." - said Mei as she appeared again in front of the group - "Which way did he go this time?"

"He went that way," Anko pointed in the direction where Kurama had disappeared.

"Thank you very much," the woman nodded as she chased the ginger again.

"Anko-chan?!" - exclaimed the girls of the Uzumaki clan.

"What? It's the least I can do for a woman who has her ovaries well placed," replied Anko as he shrugged. The others only rolled their eyes when they heard this.

"How did you find me this time?!" - exclaimed Kurama in the distance.

"Nothing can escape my passion!" - Mei exclaimed, "Though this time it was thanks to that purple-haired girl in the raincoat"

"Anko-chan!" - roared Kurama in fury.

"Okay, I'm off..." - said the aforementioned as she walked towards the village whistling - "If you need me, I'll be at the Dango Stand"

". . ." - those present only shook their heads as they saw Kurama appear before them again with an annoyed look - "Where is she?"

"Here I am!" - exclaimed Mei as she jumped over the redhead, only to see him dodge her easily, so with one precise movement, she used her hands to support herself on the ground and turn around to land on her feet - "Tada~!"

"You're great, Onee-chan~!" - Izumi exclaimed as she clapped.

"Thank you, little one" - smiled Mei as she looked at the girl and came closer to play with her nose - "Oh~! Look how pretty you are~!"

"Haha~! You tickle me~!" - said little Izumi as she burst out laughing.

"Is she the daughter you said?" - asked Mei curiously.

"Of course," Kurama nodded proudly, "she's my little princess"

"Would you mind if I hold her for a moment?" - the Mizukage asked.

"What do you say, princess?" asked the ginger.

"I have no problem~!" - Izumi smiled. "She doesn't look like a bad person!

"Aw~" - Mei couldn't help but notice how cute the little Uzumaki girl was, so she let her maternal instinct dominate her actions.

Kurama only shook his head when he saw how he could not escape this passionate woman, although he had to admit that this new side of her wasn't so bad.

"Ne~ Tousan~" - said Naruto as he took the clothes off his leg.

"What's wrong, my little joker?" - asked the Uzumaki man.

"Can I go Wosh as Izumi-chan~?" - Naruto asked excitedly.

"Sure, though it will have to be later," Kurama smiled as he took his first-born son with affection.

"Ok!" - Naruto exclaimed excitedly as he burst out laughing.

"It is good to see that you are well, Kuro-chan... and I have to admit that these three years have settled you well," said Kushina as she looked at her husband carefully. She had to admit that she liked what she saw because the young man before was now a man.

"It's good to be back" - smiled Kurama as he looked around for his youngest son.

"Here I am, Otou-sama," said Ryu as he walked to his father.

"How many times have I told you that there is no need for formality between father and son?" - asked Kurama as he shook his head. Slowly he released a tail and took his son with him so that he could give him a hug with his free arm.

"Hai... Otousan..." - said Ryu with a smile as he hugged him back.

Those present smiled when they saw Kurama's interaction with his children, but their expressions changed when they saw someone else coming from the direction the two newcomers appeared.

"I think this will be a new trend," Kiba muttered as the others rolled their eyes.

"Mei-sama!" - exclaimed a boy with light blue hair and glasses.

"What do you want, Chojuro?" - Mei asked as she looked at the newcomer.

"Why did you run after Kurama-dono like that?!" - the boy exclaimed wearily. He had been chasing his leader for days without even taking a short break because she had left all her duties to Ao thanks to a letter that said she was leaving the post as Mizukage and nominated Ao as the new leader of Kirigakure no Sato.

"I think I made it pretty clear in the letter" - snorted Mei angrily - "I'm trying to find that which I'm missing and which I finally found"

"Mei-sama..." - Chojuro said as he sighed with sorrow.

"Don't give me that look," snorted Mei with disdain. "I didn't even want to be Mizukage, I only took the position because as leader of the Resistance, everyone nominated me... besides, I've spent enough of my life on meaningless fights in Kiri..."

". . ." - the boy of Kiri only kept silent while Mei released everything she had accumulated over the years.

"Do you even know how infamous it is to be invited to a meeting of former classmates of the Academy and to see that you are the only one not only without family, but without even a boyfriend?!" - Mei exclaimed angrily - "They didn't laugh just because I was the Mizukage, but their looks said how pathetic I was!"

"Okay, this is depressing..." - murmured Kin as the other women looked at the poor Kiri woman with compassion. They could put themselves in Mei's shoes in this situation.
