"Is something wrong?" Tsunade asked me.
I shook my head in exasperation. A gate manifested in front of us. The gate opened, and there she was, peeking in embarrassingly. On the other side, there was a gorgeous mansion with red tonalities, the Gremory Household. When she saw us, she lowered her gaze and came in.
"Grayfia" Tsunade greeted her first; she looked surprised and a bit awkward. These two haven't talked to one another since the incident, and I can tell just by looking that both of them regret their impulsiveness from back then, especially being in front of me.
"Tsunade-sama".
"Remove the -sama, we are sisters".
"I understand" A faint smile resurfaced in Grayfia.
"Come here, Grayfia", I commanded and patted my other leg. She did as I said, came around the desk, and Tsunade gave her some room as I pushed the chair back.
Grayfia was wearing her beautiful maid outfit, looking totally regal as always. Her soft butt cushioned on my legs; she was looking away without saying a word, but one could see sadness in her expression.
"Grayfia?".
"Yes, Ray-sama".
I turned her chin towards me and took her lips for myself. I even took her tongue as she grabbed both sides of my face joyfully.
"As my maid, shouldn't you be kissing me the moment you see me?" I asked, feigning anger.
"I am sorry, Ray-sama, I have been a bad maid lately", She said out of breath once I finally released her naughty and slippery tongue.
Tsunade stared at us with a small giggle, to my shock, she then turned my head towards hers to kiss me as well, being a bit more forceful than Grayfia even. She pressed her hand on my chest, savoured my tongue... once we were out of breath she released me. Only for another pair of hands to take me again.
Grayfia took me inside her pretty mouth once more.
My eyes softened in pleasure, 'Are they competing?!'
It wasn't until they both savoured me throughly that they stopped and laughed to one another.
"So, you said you divorced...?" I asked her, Tsunade gasped at what I said.
"Yes, Ray-sama. I have divorced. I spoke to Sirzechs-sama, we spoke to Millicas and explained to him what was going on. He understood, my son is more clever and understanding than I thought... I felt bad that I had underestimated him".
"And... what did he say?" Tsunade asked, she was as concerned as me with the boy.
"He said I should chase my own happiness... that I shouldn't worry about him and that whatever I decide is best for me, he will support me" When she said those words, I saw Grayfia's eyes moisten up a bit, she cleaned a single tear that was about to fall and smiled.
"He's my precious little boy".
"He is. I will give the boy a few headpats when I see him next time. And Sirzechs? What did he think about all this?"
"*cough!* Sirzechs-sama said much the same. Our marriage was not originally out of love, and although love did develop between us, neither of us would have stopped the other from chasing their happiness... our concern wasn't really about feelings, Ray-sama. Our concern was the underworld politics. To the eyes of the public, we are the 'perfect devil couple', and if it were to become public that I divorced him to leave for the Biblical God, the houses among the pillars that rival us, most aligned with the old satan faction, could begin their narratives to push us into yet another civil war".
"I see".
"Is it possible to overturn those families?" As a strategist, as always, Tsunade had already begun contemplating.
Grayfia shook her head, "Most devil families that remain have existed for thousands of years, and each holds a rather big and influential chunk of the underworld society. Their disappearance would greatly impact the devils' standing not only in the underworld but also on the earth, giving advantage to the other factions, such as fallen angels or other mythologies that have rivalled us for thousands of years. So, even if rival families, it is not to our advantage if those families were to disappear. It is also impossible to change their views, at most we can keep them at bay, which is what we currently do".
"I understand".
"It was Sirzechs-sama who insisted on divorce right away, you know? He only made me promise we would attend one last party together. I thought this would be the perfect one, since he has been wanting to visit one of the other worlds we have contact with for a while. So... would it be possible–"
"Of course, Grayfia. You can come together" I kissed her cheek, but warned her, "But at the same time, make no mistake. I will kiss you, I will hold you... I will love you in public, if he can't stomach that... it is better that he doesn't come".
Grayfia blushed madly, holding my hand, "I will tell him in advance. Ray-sama and... thanks, I love you".
I held her chin and kissed her again. Just at that moment I felt a hand rubbing my crotch and perked up. Tsunade giggled beside us, she was already starting to get naughty!
*cough!*
"So, I have some things to do today".
Tsunade glared at me, "Come back here... Grayfia and I will give you a bit of... service~".
She looked at the maid as if to confirm, the maid smiled lightly, starting to undo her maid robes. They're so intricate and complex, if she wants to get naked, it takes her a while, that's why she starts early.
Tsunade and Grayfia together?
I would not be leaving this office for a long time... hell, we may even miss the ceremony.
"No! Listen, you both can have me another time. Grayfia, please help Tsunade with her paperwork just so she's ready for your get-together, alright?".
The maid pouted, stared at me in sadness and sighed, fixing her maid attire back up, "As you wish Ray-sama. Just bear in mind, I have been a really... really bad maid, so..."
Her eyes stared at my very soul, "I will need a punishment very soon, otherwise... it's no good~".
I bit my lips, 'Don't worry, I will make sure to punish your pussy very deeply soon enough, very soon'.
But I didn't say that. If I did, they'd jump me.
To know she was divorced made me react; it meant Grayfia was now mine completely. My pet, my lover, my maid... just mine.
Tsunade didn't look very happy that I rejected our intimacy, but she stared at the stack of papers and recalled that she was supposed to get all this done in a few hours. Her eyes darted to Grayfia who stared back at her.
"Are you ready to crunch these papers?".
"I shall try my best, Tsunade-sama~".
Before they started and before I went, Tsunade picked up her seal but looked at me one time, "You never told me what you're going to do... I better not hear you're going to go on a date or something with someone... not after you rejected me".
I rubbed my forehead, "I am going to tame the Kyūbi".
"The Kyubi...? Tame...?!" She asked, aghast.
"Yes, I promised Kushina. She asked me to remove the Kyūbi from Naruto just so she could seal it within herself. I told her it was a better idea to just tame the Kyūbi and have Naruto control it," I explained while Grayfia began checking up the papers on her own, as expected of a maid, she takes her orders seriously.
"Do you think the Kyubi can be controlled? That beast–"
"Do not judge so eagerly. Yasaka is a Kitsune, isn't she?" I recalled her.
"But Yasaka is different, Ray... Yasaka is not a wrath-filled monster" Tsunade countered. Only, she doesn't know that there was a time when Yasaka was very mentally disturbed after losing her mate and being threatened by Chaos Brigade constantly. She was very dangerous and volatile then.
"I met B, the Raikage's brother, who is the Jinchuriki of the Hachibi. They get along, and they're friends. I was also told that Yugito Ni, who is also in Kumogakure and is the jinchuriki of the Nibi, and they have a similar relationship".
!!!
Tsunade gasped in shock, "What did you say?".
"I said B and the Hachibi get along".
"Not that... Kumogakure has two Jinchuriki...? and they're both perfectly sober Jōnin shinobi? It is not only the Hachibi?".
"You didn't know that?" I asked back.
"Ray, Bijū are, to some extent, strategic weapons that the villages have at their disposal. It is not public knowledge which villages have Jinchurikis or who they even are. Nobody in this world should know Naruto is the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi; they only know the last time the Kyubi was spotted was in Konoha. In the same way, the last time the Hachibi was spotted was during its fight with the third Raikage in Kumogakure. It was the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime Minato, Naruto's father, who came with the intel and told us that the Raikage's brother was the Hachibi's jinchuriki. As for this Yugito Nii that you are mentioning, I have never heard of her" Tsunade bit her nails, "Those bastards all conceal themselves really well. To have many Biju in your territory is not weird, for them to be controllable military assets... that's different. We don't hold the Kyubi as a military asset as Naruto is not able to control it, do you understand now?"
"Yes, I do... in a war, they would have an advantage", I said.
"A huge advantage, thanks for telling me this" She sighed, then sat back down to do her work with a lot to think of.
"Which other Jinchuriki do you know?" I asked if this matter was of concern to her. I wanted to know what I could do about it.
She saw that Grayfia was just standing up, picked up the front chair and prepared it for her to sit down more comfortably. The maid smiled in appreciation and sat down, then Tsunade passed her a stash of papers and an official Konoha seal.
"Not many. There are rumours about the Third Mizukage, Yagura... then there is Shukaku, the Ichibi is in Sunagakure, and his name is Gaara of the Sand, he even fought with Naruto once and lost. Aside from them and the Hachibi... we don't know about any other Jinchurikis, sadly... There are only records of the last time the beasts were spotted, some even date centuries ago, and that information is unreliable".
"Why are you interested in this topic?" She asked me next.
"Those beasts are the maximum expression of energy I have seen in this world. As of now, the Hachibi and the Kyubi are the strongest creatures I have sensed. They also feel a bit foreign to me, as if they don't belong in this world," I said. I felt their chakra was way purer than the standard, but it was still chakra, still flawed.
"They are very mythical, it is said that in the past, ancient times, the Rikudo Sennin created them. The Rikudo Sennin is the closest thing we have to a God in this world. He doesn't have an official religion... but given the stories and his achievements, he probably was a God" She sent me a sultry glint, "Not as strong as you though, that I know for sure".
"Why?".
"He would be alive today if he were like you, wouldn't he?".
"Touché" Then again, I am an Overgod, not any common God. There are many layers between a God and me, which makes me think... gods aren't as immortal as they appear to be.
"How are you so sure he's not alive?" I asked, the question left Tsunade thinking.
"... there is no way to know, but I believe if he had shown himself, there would be at least some type of record", The Hokage mumbled lightly.
"That's not accurate", Grayfia said all of a sudden, obviously, she had been hearing.
"Sometimes deities present themselves in different ways to disguise themselves from other deities. Gods have this characteristic; they're able to sense each other very easily. Right, Ray-sama?" Grayfia asked me, and I nodded.
"You can tell very easily when someone is a god... they have an authority, and this authority feels like an aura surrounding them. They can't conceal this... because a God is precisely the manifestation of their authority, if they discarded it... they wouldn't be gods any more".
"That's right. So, even if this Rikudo Sennin did not exist as a 'humanoid deity', that doesn't mean he couldn't exist in any other way" Grayfia smirked," For example... he could exist in parts that don't have authorities of their own, but when put together... they form a deity".
"Separated... parts...?!" Tsunade gasped at the implications, "I never considered that... before going to your world, I never paid that much attention to divinities and deities"
"There is always someone pulling the strings, Tsunade", I caressed her face, "I will see you girls later, behave..."
"See you later, dear. I will pay more attention to the Bijus from now on. To think... I didn't consider something so important"
Tsunade and Grayfia both kissed me, and I walked into the mist, heading to the training grounds where I knew someone would be waiting for me.
