In Naruto: Reborn With Talent

Chapter 185 - Ch185. Final bonding

Rei watched as Pakura clad in a sandy-yellow tight-fitting kimono that highlighted her curves well, stepped through the portal into his dimension. This was the first time he ever saw any kind of make-up on her face and he had to admit, the woman was gorgeous. Her lips glistened with pink lipstick, adding a cute vibe to her usual strictness. A bit of dark green eye-shadow went incredibly well with her hair and highlighted her eyes nicely. Her hair was completely let free compared to her usual bun held by a senbon but it was obvious that Pakura spent quite a lot of time making her hair slightly wavy and appear so silky.

Rei was firstly baffled when she requested to be dressed according to Wind Country wedding customs for this day. "I am giving myself completely to you. Naturally, I want to look my best!" She said and to that, Rei had no valid argument. He was simply happy Tsunade or Ringo revealed their feelings on the matter because Rei knew that since Pakura pointed it out, they were miffed for days that their bonding was not perfect because they didn\'t get to wear wedding dresses.

And then Rei saw his other girls step in and his jaw dropped as he understood why they never revealed their dissatisfaction.

Here he was, clad in a totally laid-back baggy bright green shirt he wore on Sundays and comfortable black pants, looking like a crazy village bum while all of his five girls looked gorgeous beyond belief. There was obviously something he was not told!

Konan had an expensive-looking Levander kimono that blended with her blue shoulder-length hair decorated by a blue origami rose of a lighter shade, marvelously complementing her clothing and hair color. Her mischievous smile clearly betrayed whose idea this dressing up was. Somehow, Rei couldn\'t find it in himself to be angry at those lascivious light-blue lips she was lightly biting in invitation. Adding Konan\'s almost sparkling big amber eyes full of happiness... yeah, Rei never had a chance, did he?

Tsunade opted for green haori ending a bit above her knees with an intricate leaf pattern all over it and her hair was all in two blond pigtails lying on her c.h.e.s.t, reaching her lower abdomen. It was obvious the piece of clothing was dear to her heart since it didn\'t exactly look new but was still well-cared for. Rei quickly put two and two together and realized this was the attire in which, according to Tsunade\'s stories, her grandmother Mito appeared at her wedding. Rei softly smiled at his sentimental medic, getting a content grin in return.

Mei... Rei spotted she really grew up well. Instead of a kimono, she had the tailors of Uzushio create her a \'western\' dress. Rei could only wryly smile. He described it one damn time and the girl became as if infatuated with the idea. There she stood, in azure light dress ending a bit below her knees, her plentiful red locks all flowing over her also almost reaching her knees. Oh, how Rei loved her silky crimson long hair... In Rei\'s old world, this would in no way count as something on par with what his other girls wore, at least from a symbolic point of view. Here though? It looked well and fit Mei\'s personality well. Simple but daring. Not that Rei would ever say that out loud.

And lastly, Ringo. His little swordsman had a black kimono dress with a flowery pattern that went very well with her red hair which was freely flowing down her back with two bangs covering the sides of her faces, reaching her c.h.e.s.t. Surprisingly, her hair was decorated with small braids and two hairpins resembling a black butterfly were preventing the bangs from coming into her face. Needless to say, this was actually the very first time he saw Ringo dressed up so beautifully and Rei made sure to carefully store this memory into his mind. After all, with her personality, it very well might be the last time.

Konan was the first one to approach, mostly because of some sense of seniority the girls decided among themselves. Konan was supposedly the \'leader\' while Tsunade was her substitute whereas others were on the same level in the pecking order. Rei was just glad his girls didn\'t fight for something as senseless as a \'better\' position and were content with how things were right now as he had no intentions of treating one of them better than others.

"I see you didn\'t get the news." Konan stated when she saw Rei\'s lazy attire. If they didn\'t know each other, it could come across as insulting. They spent hours to make themselves look gorgeous for him and here he stood, in his most casual baggy clothes.

Fortunately for Rei, his girls were fast to the uptake and instantly turned towards Mei who was supposed to inform Rei. Konan raised her eyebrow, Pakura slightly glared, Tsunade was amused, and Ringo... well, she didn\'t turn to Mei, and instead her eyes trailed over Rei while she licked her lips.

"What?" Mei crossly asked, "Don\'t look at me like that! Does it even matter if he knows we want to make this into a sort of a wedding night? So what if he isn\'t dressed up?" She pointed at Rei in a dismissive manner, "I personally love the moments when we are rolling in the sack the most... when we are completely n.a.k.e.d. I care not what he wears and I know that neither of you wouldn\'t really mind if he was n.a.k.e.d either so where is the problem?" She defensively stated and Rei had to fight his urge to take a step back from how weirded out he was at this opinion of hers.

\'Wait...\' His eyes slightly widened as he saw the other four girls turn to him, \'don\'t look at me like that... No, no, no. Stop with that understanding gleam of sudden realization in your eyes!\' He took a step back at their hungry stares and hotly added, "Oi!"

"What? She is totally right." Tsunade uncaringly shrugged, causing the girls to snicker and giggle.

Rei could only wearily shake his head, not even realizing he was slightly smiling. After all, deep down, he had the same opinion. These dresses were nice and all but he wouldn\'t overly mind if they were n.a.k.e.d in front of him. But he also knew the girls wanted to dress up and show themselves to him so he kept quiet and enjoyed the sights.

"Let\'s just... start, okay?"

No matter how tired of the situation Rei acted, the girls spent a lot of time with him so there was no deceiving them. Especially not when he really couldn\'t help himself and take more than a few appreciative side-glances all over them.

Happy with themselves, the six people decided to proceed with the main event. The bonding ceremony for Pakura.

Soon enough, Pakura found herself in Rei\'s embrace as they stood in the middle of the sealing array while the other four girls encircled them, standing in their own designated places. Bonding six people to each other with one main bond between Rei and Pakura, and multiple secondary bonds to the girls was no joke so Rei had to spend two days re-creating the process to make it safe.

The girls started to feed their chakra into the seals, causing them to slightly light up and Rei, knowing Pakura deserved this to be a happy memory, in that precise moment where they were bonded, leaned forward, placing a gentle loving kiss onto the surprised woman, causing her to melt in his embrace.

Just like that, the bonding was finished. Outwardly not very impressive but inwardly... a lot has changed.

The group decided to take the next few days off from their work and spend them together in Rei\'s dimension, just lazing around, making out, and having s.e.x, completely carefree and without any work or worry. It really reminded Rei of the dream he had in his previous world. He wanted to be rich, carefree, and have a loving wife. He was always a bit lazy. And yet... here he was, putting so much effort into building his own village and getting stronger when he could just shut himself and his girls in his dimension for a few centuries, focusing on indulging in carnal d.e.s.i.r.es and basking in the warm feeling of being loved. There was nothing he needed anymore.

But he couldn\'t really do that, could he? Tsunade, Pakura, and even Ringo had a few people or at the very least sentiments in that world and they would be sad if they were killed or destroyed. In the end, Rei didn\'t want his girls sad. Hence, he decided to solve the threat of the Otsutsuki clan once and for all. \'Baby steps. One thing at the time.\' Rei mentally hummed.

It was at the picnic two days after the bonding that Pakure timidly raised the important question.

"So... can I consider you my husband now?" Her nervousness was almost visible as she asked that while subconsciously fidgeting.

The whole meadow suddenly grew deadly silent as five pairs of eyes intently locked onto Rei who blankly blinked as he opened his mouth but his mind refused to supply him with an appropriate answer.

The mood of the girls soured when even after a few seconds they didn\'t get a positive answer. Fortunately, Rei slowly nodded and finally found words.

"I... guess?" Rei unsurely agreed, causing the girls to happily beam at him but their eyes still held some concern at how lackl.u.s.ter the answer sounded. Rei, not seeing that, continued, "I have no idea, to be honest. Well, in Uzushio and my Other-sided Village, we can consider being as good as married. I frankly always considered those bonded to me as my wives. I simply do not know if from the legal point of view we can be considered married since there was no official wedding." He explained.

Hearing that, Tsunade quickly added her opinion, "It doesn\'t matter."

Pakura nodded, "Only weddings between nobles, Daimyos, or important people in shinobi villages are recorded. A wedding between peasants is not and the only proof is a scrap of paper they receive that proves that yes, they are married. There is also no way to access a record of a wedding from Suna.. say, in Konoha. The countries do not share these things so as long as somebody says he is married, you can either believe him or not as there is no real proof." She said.

"Well," Rei smiled. He never really paid attention to these things so he had no idea. Good thing his gi-, ahem, wives did so he won\'t have to waste time researching. "then I guess I have no other option than to graciously give you the title of my wives and shower you with all love I am capable of, the opinion of others be damned." He sagaciously nodded.

"Damn straight." Five sweet womanly voices rang through the meadow at once.
