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

88. The New Batch / Team Impregnation 2

It’s been a few weeks with no sign of the next arc starting. Everyone gives birth to their Template insects within the span of a few days. Thankfully, we have the Amalgam ability now and can fast-heal the recovering girls inside their partners (though it takes a significant chakra expenditure). Hah hah hah, Amalgam really is the most busted Kekkei Genkai!

Then it’s time for a harem meeting; I figure we have enough margin before the next plot advancement to adjust to our new Kekkei Genkai and at least get a new batch of insects started.

I watch Tenten play with a kunai like a yo-yo, pulling it up from the ground using her new magnet powers (courtesy of a Silver Magnet Beetle she wears like a broach) only to let it fall again before catching it midair. Hinata and Sakura are doing some taijutsu sparing in the living room with their new Sharingan eyes. Anko activates her Byakugan while laying on the floor to avoid getting dizzy while viewing everything in three-hundred-fifty-nine degrees around her simultaneously.

Nearby, Kin-Kitty spins around cutely beneath a light snowfall sprinkling from a Crystal Ice Mirror she placed on the ceiling. Karin practices her Wood Release on a bonsai tree in a pot on her lap, trying to get it to bloom after accepting her Cedar Cicada Chrysalis. Ino sits Kurenai’s lap since the Jonin accepted my proposal and is now the proud owner of an Amalgam Hear-Ringworm.

I’m watching Ino and Kurenai stare at the last Sharingan eyewig with trepidation in one case and envy in the other when something occurs to me. “Oh, shit, I think we’re about to hit a deadline.” All eyes turn towards me, muscles tensing for battle, and I raise my hands to calm them, “I forgot Kin-Kitty needs a Sharingan for her next mission.” Pressing my palms together, I bow at the waist as I make a request, “Ino-chan, I know you were considering giving that Sharingan to Kurenai, but can I please give it to Kin-Kitty instead?”

Ino and Kurenai meet gazes for a moment before the Jonin shrugs and waves off the platinum blond’s concern. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’ve waited this long; I can wait another month if necessary.”

I’m glad that’s settled, though Kin-Kitty is now the girl with trepidation as she realizes with mild horror she’s going to have to let that eyewig eat its way into her brain. The things we do for power in the ninja world…

“Umm, hey, so, what the hell does this creepy fucker do?” Tayuya asks from her place on the couch. She’s got a golden beetle in her hand.

Eagerly, I come over to gingerly take it in my hands. It’s the culmination of my most complicated project so far! I lift it high while triumphant music plays in my mind. “This new golden Jewel Sage Scarab is going to change everything!”

Anko deactivates her Byakugan and struggles to her wobbly feet. “It doesn't actually put you in Sage Mode, though, right? That’d be crazy.”

She’s right, of course. “No, no, but I’m only exaggerating a little. It deserves the name!”

“Yeah, sure, fucking whatever, but what does it ?” Tayuya insists.

“I’m glad you asked.” I launch into exposition mode for the sake of my girls. “But first, let me explain Sage Mode. By collecting Natural Energy, the ambient magic of the world, and molding it with one’s own Physical and Spiritual Energies, one creates Senjutsu Chakra. It is superior to normal chakra both in quality and in quantity because you’re supplementing your internal reserves with an external supply. Once you have the proportions in balance, if you have enough of it, and your body can withstand the additional stress, you enter badass Sage Mode. Problem number one is learning to sense Natural Energy, but let’s set that aside for now. Problem number two is learning to meld Natural Energy with your internal energies in the correct proportions. It’s difficult mainly because, if you get it wrong, you turn to stone and die.”

Everyone makes a disconcerted face.

“But, … I know from my visions that Orochimaru-kun did a lot of re

Good, good, moving along.

“Sharingan. It’s something Orochimaru-kun wants, so it must be good, and I’ll enjoy showing it off next time I see the bastard.” Anko chuckles darkly. “Also, it’ll help me memorize the feeling of correctly molding Senjutsu chakra.”

“Same, here,” Karin agrees, “And, maybe Shino-sama could convince that stump-humper to give me some pointers?”

I laugh. “Don’t call Yamato-kun a stump-humper to his face. And we’ll see.”

Kin-Kitty steps forward next. “Ino-chan gave me her Sharingan, so I’ll return the favor this time.”

But Ino shakes her head, “Guys, don’t worry about me. Sure, all these awesome powers are cool, but I told you I’m swamped trying to learn my clan jutsu on top of the other stuff I’ve got to train. Sharingan can wait if there’s important shit going on. Hey, bug slut, you didn’t get a new Template last round either. Let me make you a Macabre Bone Pulse.”

I was debating when to ask for this, but I’m touched Ino of all people thought of me. I give her a hug and thank her. “I appreciate that a lot. While most of my strength is going to come from you all, I don’t want to fall too far behind in personal power either. Increasing the potency of my taijutsu makes sense.”

Learning the advanced Gentle Fist moves from Hinata after she learns them is going to become more time-consuming, even with the Sharingan. I probably won’t be able to keep pace with her in that department for much longer. Like I said earlier, my focus needs to be on Amalgamation and bug techniques.

“Then I’ll go Amalgam for Tsume,” Kin-Kitty states, arching her back sensually, “I want to be her.”

“Good thinking,” I assess. Tsume is a Jonin-level fighter with experience coming up with ways to use the Transformation jutsu. She’s a powerful asset to the team.

“Nah, it’s fine,” Tsume objects, to my shock. “My specialty is Combination-Transformation jutsu. Sadly, that doesn’t actually mesh well with Amalgamation. Shino-chan, you don’t need to give me a ring to make me happy. If you’re worrying about how far you can stretch yourself, then save it for someone who needs the help more. None of these Templates make much sense to me, even the Dojutsu. I rely on my sense of smell, remember? The one thing that tempts me is that Boner Pulse.”

I can’t exactly argue with her. She one of the more experienced Jonin present.

“Then I’ll return the favor for Ino-chan after all,” Kin-Kitty says, folding her arms to brook no more arguments.

That settled, I address the elephant in the room, “Tayuya-chan, forgive me, but we need you to keep making NET bugs. You’re the only one who can, and every single Jewel Sage Scarab we get is one more Imperfect Sage we can eventually put on the field.”

I don’t see Tayuya as an Amalgamation user, at least, not currently. While Tayuya offers a huge benefit to me as a breeder, the fact that her second stage transformation relies on Orochimaru’s senjutsu chakra makes me cautious of merging her body with anyone else. Maybe it’s best to keep her comfortable in the Aburame clan estate until I can solve that problem.

“That’s alright,” she says while stretching luxuriously on Tenten’s x-frame bondage wheel, “I like getting and .”

“Well then, I hope everyone can pardon my selfishness, but I’d like to have my Sharingan,” Kurenai says.

“I’ll punish anyone who objects,” I joke. Well, it’s not a joke, but the ‘punishment’ will be sexy.
