Reincarnated as Shino from Naruto but I’m a Girl?

44. Girls’ Night

“Did you see the holy maiden?”

“No, is she here?”

“There’s no other explanation!”

“It’s a miracle! I feel thirty years younger!”

“I wish the holy maiden would come more often…”

We return to the changing room as the other bathers give their positive reviews.

“Way to keep a low profile, Shino-chan,” Tenten says.

I shrug. “This is practically a community service. They should give me a medal.”

Ino snorts, giving me a singsong, “~You’re going to get fucking busted~”

“I think it’s sweet that Shino-chan spreads love wherever she goes!” Hinata says.

We don our clothes and exit the female side of the hot springs.

“Pervy Sage! Speak to me, dattebayo! Someone, call a doctor!”

Naruto kneels at Jiraiya’s side as the old man lays on his back with dizzy spirals in his eyes, a huge goofy grin on his face, and a fountain of blood squirting from his nose.

“Oh, good. Things worked out.”

““…””

My harem gives me a questioning look.

Well, it would suck if Naruto didn’t meet Jiraiya naturally in this timeline, and I had to spend a favor to introduce them! In the Anime, Jiraiya is arguably Naruto’s most important sensei.

I take this as karma repaying me for my ‘charity’ here today at the hot springs.

As we depart the scene, I get a weird feeling. The hairs on the back of my neck prickle. My perimeter of insect sentinels has nothing to report, however. Huh, it’s probably nothing.

We return to Tenten’s apartment.

Well, Ino and Sakura go home first to break the news they’re moving in with their ‘girlfriend’ as in the singular. Not to mention coming out to their parents.

Hinata’s final condition for approving my last two harem additions was that we all have to sleep in one ‘bed.’ “I know most of you like to play rough sometimes, which is fine. However, we need to set boundaries for when the ‘play’ ends and where the relationship begins. We all need to learn to love each other, and that starts with living, eating, and sleeping together.”

Part of me is surprised to hear Hinata laying down the law in a confident tone. The rest of me has come to appreciate her newfound self-assurance.

I give her a hug from behind. “Thank you for helping me make this work, Hinata-chan. I know being in a partially open polyamorous / six-way polygamous relationship is a lot to ask of anyone.”

“Hinata-chan is a badass, in addition to her many other fine qualities,” Tenten says with a grin.

Hinata suddenly struggles from my embrace to run for the kitchen. “That’s right! I should be making dinner!”

“I’m doing fried rice. I can’t let you try to feed all these girls by yourself!” Tenten follows my Hyuga lover.

“Excuse me, Mistress Shino-chan; I found something that fits me, Nya.”

Kin Tsuchi, or should I say, Kin-Kitty, stands before me in a French maid outfit she must’ve found in Tenten’s closet. She’s wearing the chakra puppet cat ears and reinserted the cat tail butt-plug after smuggling them out of the hot springs. (We gave her real clothes to wear in public.) I didn’t even ask her to do this.

Needless to say, it looks awesome on her. My hands involuntarily twitch in groping motions.

“V-very g-good.” *Gulp* “Yes, excellent. You can start cleaning the apartment immediately.” It doesn’t take long for Kin to find something on the floor and bend over to reveal she isn’t wearing panties. I ogle her athletic ass, anal plug, slim hairless pussy, and the enticing gap between her thighs like I haven’t had sex in days.

“She’s adjusting well, isn’t she, Mistress?” Karin says while laying out the spare futon in the living room. Honestly, Tenten’s bed was too small for the three of us. With seven, we’re moving into the largest room of the house and putting as many futons as we can find side by side.

I nod absentmindedly.

“Have you decided what role I’ll have in the household? T-that is, if you think I’m worthy of a role…” Karin switches from assertive to servile as she nervously adjusts her glasses.

“Karin-chan, I plan on having a large harem. If you’re comfortable with the idea, I’d like your help managing the lower-ranked members.”

The little bit of power I extend to the girl instantly goes to her head as she flips to domineering. “Yes, Mistress! I can maintain discipline.”

There’s a knock at the door.

Opening the door reveals a red-faced, embarrassed Sakura standing behind her parents.

Haruno Kizashi wears a loose-fitting kimono, has sideburns, a mustache, and dull pink hair styled to look like a cherry blossom. He’s quite the character.

Haruno Mebuki has blond hair with a prominent bang that obscures her forehead and green eyes like her daughter. She wears a white Chinese dress that shows her youthful figure. Her expression is no-nonsense, at significant odds with her husband’s demeanor. Personally, I think she’s more ‘cute’ than ‘hot,’ but I’d give her body a high rating regardless.

“So, this is the infamous Shino-chan!” Kizashi walks directly into the apartment like he owns the place and gives me a big bear-hug.

“Dad!”

“Infamous? You only heard about her an hour ago! Now let the girl go,” Mebuki says, coming to my aid in prying the excitable man off me.

Sakura follows us inside with a few bags of personal effects and a futon roll. ‘Sorry!’ she mouths, silently apologizing for her overbearing parents.

“I’m just so excited to meet my daughter’s first girlfriend! How did you two meet? Wait, that’s a dumb question. Oh! Are you two going to be living alone, or are these girls your roommates?”

I turn to see Kin-Kitty in her kinky outfit threatening to dust the floor again in full view of Sakura’s parents and frantically wave at Karin to get the cat-girl maid out of sight while the future in-laws are here.

“You don’t have to answer any of my idiot husband’s questions, Shino-chan. We came to make sure our little girl is in good hands, that’s all.”

“Well…” I stall, “You know how expensive renting is now! And with how little the Genin missions pay, we all decided to move in together.” Yes, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!

“Who’s hungry? I made snacks,” Hinata says, emerging from the kitchen with a plate of rice balls. The dark-blue haired girl sees who I’m speaking with and rushes over. “Sakura-chan’s parents! It’s wonderful to meet you.”

Hinata hands me the plate of rice balls so she can hug each of them in turn with joyous tears in her eyes. “I-if it isn’t any t-trouble, c-can I call you Mom and Dad?”

““Ehhh?””

“Hinata-chan, I smell something burning, and I have my hands full with the wok!”

Saved by Tenten!

“Oh! I have to go!” Hinata dabs at her eyes and dashes into the kitchen, leaving two very confused future in-laws behind. “Come back anytime!”

“Okay, then. Mom, Dad, thanks for helping me move in, but you should go now. Girls’ night and all that!” Sakura almost forcefully shoves her parents out the door before someone has a major slip-up. She slams the door shut and sighs in relief.

There’s a knock at the door.

Opening the door reveals a red-faced, embarrassed Ino standing behind her parents.

Yamanaka Inoichi has spiky blond hair with a ponytail and a bladelike jawline. He’s wearing his Interrogation Unit uniform with a black overcoat. This stone-faced Jonin is a scary motherfucker who knows jutsu like the Psycho Mind Transmission.

Kishimoto-san never bothered naming such a minor character, but this body’s memories identify Ino’s mom as Yamanaka Yua. She wears a dark green dress with a light green gem at the collar and has her hair in a high bun tied with a red ribbon. She’s definitely an ‘Ara Ara’ lady, if not quite a true milf.

“Sakura-chan, lay your futon here right next to Tenten-sama’s. Kin-Kitty, no wandering into the living room while Mistress handles the parents!” Karin says a bit too loud. “And don’t take anything else out of Tenten-sama’s private collection without her permission!”

*Gulp*

“R-r-rice ball?”

Inoichi accepts a rice ball and takes a large bite. Yua also takes a rice ball and nibbles at a corner. “Plum filling,” the well-dressed lady notes with an approving nod. Inoichi nods as well.

“…”

Ino looks between me and her parents while stricken with fear. Back and forth.

“So…” I begin with no real idea of what to say.

“You fucking my daughter?”

“Yes, sir.”

““…””

“You’ve got balls.”

“Actually, no, sir.”

““…””

Inoichi turns to his wife and says, “I like her.”

Yua smiles. “She seems not to have taken after that deceitful Aburame woman running their Clan.” She turns to me, “No offense, dear,” then returns to addressing her husband, “I approve.”

The Yamanaka clan head looks me in the eyes and says without humor or hesitation, “If you break my daughter’s heart, they won’t find your body.”

With that, Ino’s parents depart.

Ino steps inside, drops her futon, and collapses against the wall. “You are so fucking lucky! I thought he’d kidnap you and take you to one of his unit’s secret Interrogation rooms.”

“I thought they were public knowledge?”

“Yeah, sure, the normal interrogation rooms are. You don’t want to know what happens in the secret ones.”

There’s a knock at the door.

I furrow my brow.

“Food’s ready. Hinata is finishing up in the kitchen.” Tenten announces as she walks into the living room. “Who’s at the door, babe?”

Opening the door reveals Mitarashi Anko’s smiling face.

Oh, Deus, I’m so fucked.
