Sengoku Naruto

Early AN: Hi there good readers of FanFiction! Welcome to what is my fourth project so far in my amateur writing.

This time I have decided to start a story inspired on a variety of subjects, mainly those of the Sengoku period of Japan's history where a number of powerful Samurai clans battled one another for the right to rule the land and unite the country. And also on those of the popular hentai game Sengoku Rance which depicts a very peculiar hero whose dream is of defiling every single beautiful woman on the world, adventuring, getting money and abusing his slave.

This story though will not take on the characters of such historic period nor those depicted on the game and instead, using my author super powers, will create my own world using Naruto's characters to interact in a world where they try to unite the Land of Fire.

For those who are familiar with "The Wandering Sage" (my most recently completed project) the setting is slightly similar since the characters will be members of distinctive clans or factions within the story, also with the difference that they will not be Shinobi clans but actual Samurai esque clans which means that they'll be warriors but not exactly samurai ones (some will still be ninja nonetheless).

The story is intended to be somewhat humoristic, a bit romantic and with elements of adventure in it. All of the former intended to be a light hearted story to have a good time reading so expect dramatic situations to be blown over some ridiculous thing smashing it apart.

The story is also going to be something of a harem one, but given the site's recent crackdown on graphic lemon stories, I don't intend to write them (never been good at them anyway) and the most will be adult situations and suggestive themes.

Now without further ado I present to you the first chapter of my new story, so be sure to review at the end if you like or don't!

Chapter 1: My Selfish Dream

"YAWNNNNNNNNN" exhaled a bored looking young man by the shore of a pristine blue pond that was fed by a narrow river that descended from a mountain a few miles in the distance.

The young man lifted his old sugegara (Those Japanese conical hats) to see if his fishing line had picked something but as usual it was just moving with the rhythmic movement of the water and so he just lowered it again over his face and went back to his nap as another nice day went by uncaring that a young man wasted his life in such a manner.

"There you are you lazy idiot!" screamed a female voice that made the young man still lying on the ground stir with annoyance and turn away from it giving it his back hoping that it would go away.

The young man heard heavy footsteps coming his way and knew that his day would formally begin within the next moments and so he slightly braced himself for what was coming, not really wanting it to happen.

The footsteps stopped right next to him and for a moment the young man thought the annoyance had just been a bad dream but a loud Cha! Gave him a half second's warning for the monstrously strong kick that struck his behind and made him land a good five meters away from his current resting place.

The young man landed and rolled slightly losing his hat in the process and coming to rest with his face towards the shining sun already at the summit appointing that the day was already at its half.

The young man smiled lightly and close his eyes as the footsteps approached him again and this time he felt the warmth of the sun was replaced by a shadow that belonged to a person he has known his whole life.

"Is this how the master of the Uzumaki Clan is supposed to behave?! There's a whole day of work ahead and it's already midday! Now get off the ground and get back to work!" half screamed an extremely irritated pink haired girl wearing a loosely fit worn short yukata that allowed for a more free movement of legs.

"Today they are black…It seems that you indeed have a pattern as to what wear on what day! Say do you have a personal reason for this? Or it's just routine?" asked the young man casting his eyes up at her.

"What? What are you talking about?" asked a bit puzzled the girl forgetting her current bad temper.

"Well, it's only that you are wearing black laced underwear today! And exactly seven days ago you wore the same ones, so it left me with a question as is you had a particular order to wear your undergarments" said the young man with a dead serious expression on his face.

The girl blinked for a moment and when she saw that the man was not looking her in the eye but was actually looking up her clothes she clenched her teeth and fist and smashed it dead center on his face.

A few moments later…

"Sakura chan! I swear you get stronger by the day!" complained the young man as he dragged his feet behind the girl with the shape of her fist clearly defined by a red stain.

"Flattery isn't going to get you anywhere! And do you know how I got this strong?! By doing your share of the work almost every day!" said the irritated girl as she barely glanced back to make certain the young man followed her.

"But a Clan Lord isn't supposed to do hard work! He's supposed to lead armies, conquer land and enjoy the spoils while ruling with an iron fist!" whined the young man making the pink haired girl huff in annoyance.

"And how exactly do you think the great Lords got those things? By being lazy all day fishing in a pond with no fish? They worked hard for it!" retorted the girl while handing a basket to her liege.

"I doubt a Clan Lord picked rice before going to conquer lands!" whined Naruto as he fixed the basket with ease and removed his sandals and stepped into the small rice field.

"Well, not every Lord had to rule such a minuscule piece of land with so few resources at hand!" said the girl waving her hand to make her lord see the extent of his domain which consisted of a small but beautiful valley between two monolithic mountains with a narrow entrance on one side and a small shallow harbor that due to its lack of depth wasn't really a harbor but a resting beach where humble local festivals were held.

The young man sighed clearly deflated due to his lack of actual power and bended to start his daily share of work next to his lifelong friend.

Sakura observed the young man and feeling a bit bad over shattering his dreams for the hundred time, placed a hand on his shoulder and said "Look Naruto, one day at a time and some day we will be able to get a hold of bigger lands and then you'll ride off to glory! But on the meantime, we need this to keep us and your subjects fed and well"

Naruto sniffled and said "But I'll be old and wrinkled by that time! I want my Harem now!"

Sakura popped a vein and grabbed Naruto's head and plunged it under the water while screaming "Die you pervert!" making the nearby workers laugh heartily.

"Aren't you two just adorable?" said a gentle and more feminine voice from a distance making Sakura stop drowning Naruto and immediately turn around to bow at her liege and personal hero.

There lying on the porch of her summer house, which actually was the castle of the land, was the form of Kushina Uzumaki wearing an old but well-kept scarlet kimono with gold trimmed swirls sewn on it.

To most, especially men, Kushina looked quite alluring since she was wearing the kimono loosely and letting her cleavage show since the kimono was hanging by her shoulders.

But to Sakura she was the embodiment of what she aspired to be, a strong but elegant woman worthy of praise. And she already figured the strong part albeit the elegant one was trickier!

"Oh ho Sakura! I don't think he needs to be that close to the rice plants to pluck them!" said Kushina while blowing some air with an old ornate fan with little swirls in it.

Sakura bit her lip and counting to ten in her mind she spoke with a softer tone "Lady Kushina, it's only that Naruto is being a perverted goofball with no sense of nobility or hard earned wealth! And he spends his day fishing in a fishless pond instead of helping his people harvest the rice when the season is almost at en end!"

Kushina stood up from the porch and walked to the edge of the rice field where Naruto's limp form had drifted and picked him up from the head.

"Naruto, how many times have I told you that if you want to get into a girl's clothes you have to earn it first. The path to a man's romance is harsh and unforgiving but I can tell you that is totally worth it!" said Kushina to her sad looking son.

"Lady Kushina!" exclaimed Sakura with a bright blush on her face.

"Sakura, how many times have I told you that a woman's duty is to properly motivate, counsel, and if needed comfort his man if he is to achieve his true potential. It is also our duty to chasten them when needed, but you seem to be only able of doing the latter" said Kushina with a motherly smile.

"I do try to guide him but all he does is try to peep under my clothes every day since we were twelve!" huffed a frustrated Sakura as she went to pluck the rice with astounding speed and ferocity.

Kushina laughed at her frustration and turn to her son who was squeezing water out if his worn clothes.

"You should try to make things easier for Sakura my son, that way she will be putty in your hands someday!" said Kushina though she frowned slightly when Naruto did not perked up after that.

Naruto huffed and flexed his back as if he was about to work reluctantly making her mother to call him back to her.

"What's wrong Naruto?" asked Kushina sitting on the grass and beckoning Naruto to join her.

Naruto at first grimaced and then sighed in defeat and began "It's only that all this is unfair mom. Look at us! When was the last time you bought new clothes and not just the second hand ones the traders bring with the turn of the season? Or that our lands could be more prosperous if we only had the wealth to clear more lands, make roads and trade with the rest of the country, I mean the most prosperous business here is a Ramen stand and its owners live with us at the house!"

Naruto stood on his feet and pointed at the house which was supposed to be the seat of their authority but in all reality it was just an old summer house that belonged to their clan since ancient days.

"You deserve a castle, hundreds of servants, fine silks and artists entertaining you! Not having to sacrifice your gardens to put up rice fields!" said Naruto with seething anger though Kushina remained unmoved at her son's outburst.

Naruto was about to continue but seeing the hard gaze of his mother he breathed in and said "I am sorry mom…" and turned to help Sakura with the fields.

"A moment Naruto, please sit down next to me" said Kushina getting to sit on her knees and straightening her back somehow adopting a noble posture of strength and dignity that never ceased to amaze Naruto.

"Naruto, however humble as we might be, we are from the ancient and noble Uzumaki Clan lords of the Whirlpool lands and as such we must always show that through our actions; The first of our ancestors built our ancient home out of rocks and felled trees and with great pains built a Clan worth of respect and its every belonging! We survived wars and betrayal and though we are at a slump, we shall recover!" said Kushina making Naruto stare at her.

Naruto closed his eyes and knelt before his mother and said "I am sorry mom, I never intended to question such things, and it's only that I feel that I am supposed to be more! I know it's a bit selfish but…"

Naruto clenched his fists as he tried to keep tears of frustration in check but opened his eyes when he felt a soft hand touch his own.

At first he thought the hand was from his mom but it was Sakura who had returned to lend him her strength.

"Take it easy Naruto, we shall find a way to make our dreams come true!" said Sakura with her most compassionate smile to date.

Naruto wiped his tears and smiled back at her.

Kushina nodded in approval and got back to her feet and her usual carefree demeanor and said behind her fan "And what's your dream Naruto? It must be quite a dream for you to shed tears over it!"

Naruto let go of Sakura's hand and walking to stand tall and proud he punched his fist to the sun and said "My dream is to conquer the land and fill a castle with the country's most beautiful maidens! For they are the treasure of any man worth his salt!"

Kushina laughed heartily at her son's silly dream and stepped backwards while a shadow grew until it engulfed Naruto's bright aura.

With an eerie voice Sakura said while cracking her knuckles "So that's your dream huh? Let me lend you my whole strength then my Lord!"

And the valley trembled with a powerful boom…

At Castle Wave's Bridge (Formerly known as Castle Maelstrom)

In a dim lit state room furnished with lavish furniture and expensive works of art a number of intoxicated scantily dressed women moaned in the euphoric high the several drugs spread around the room had placed them.

By the end of the room where the master of the castle would attend his daily business a short man with gray spiky hair and dressed in regal attire furiously scanned a scroll sent to him earlier that day.

Not seeing the words he desired, he crumbled the scroll and tossed it towards a trembling servant who obviously had been victim to the fits of anger from his master.

"Damn them! Damn them all!" screamed the man making everyone in the room stare at him in surprise and some fear except for those who enforced his will.

"No matter how many gifts I send, how many deals I make, how many donations! They just won't acknowledge me as an equal! Damn them to hell a thousand times!" roared the man making the freeloaders and bootlickers leave before he started to throw things around.

As the man grunted and growled a dark chuckle made him stop in his tracks for he was genuinely surprised that someone would dare to make fun of him in his own dwelling.

But almost as soon as he was going to demand that person to be flayed alive, he recognized the voice of the chuckling person.

"Damn right they won't acknowledge such a pitiful character if it's so easy to get under your skin…" said a large male form from an unlit corner of the room.

The smaller man huffed in frustration but knowing better than to anger such a dangerous character he went to sit back by his lamp and breathed in and out to calm down.

"So once more they reject you huh? That makes about a hundred by now right?" said the dark figure with amusement laced in his tone.

"Ninety three…And still they won't acknowledge me! What does it takes to move those stubborn bastards?!" growled the man impatiently hoping that his servant had something more than taunts for him.

"A noble cradle…" chuckled the dark figure again.

"Bullshit! Their very histories tell that they rose to prominence in ways not so different to mine! They murdered, cheated, betrayed and bought their titles!" roared the man making the figure chuckle again making him feel in turn even more humiliated.

"That was centuries ago my lord…" said the man in mocking tone.

"They are now too noble, correct and mighty that some even claim that it was heaven's mandate they rule nowadays. In turn, they have heard the rumors about you, especially those calling you pirate and opium dealer my lord…" added the man further stoking the self-proclaimed lord.

Gato growled but said nothing as he poured himself a measure of sake to try and muffle his growing anger.

Many years ago Gato had arrived to the lands of the Uzumaki Clan masquerading as a sea trader who wanted to make business with such an illustrious Clan and perhaps lend them his naval prowess to stoke their ambitions.

At first the many second hand nobles, advisors and ministers were beyond content for the wealth of their clan had been largely diminished due to a number of failed military campaigns and breaking or former allies as the struggling clan failed to marshal new armies.

The Clan had been reduced in direct heirs to a young girl in her mid-teens who despite her age was fiery and refused to lend her ear to Gato for in her opinion he was a shady character and his Clan had no need for such underhanded methods of enrichment.

Since she was the Clan heir, her word was final and those warriors sworn to her made certain that ministers and nobles would not deviate from her wishes, which in turn created great disconcert in her court and bought her admiration from the lower castes of society.

But to Gato's fortune, the girl winded up pregnant outside of marriage making her immediately ineligible to marry another noble and any child she sired incapable of inheriting the Clan.

Even the girl's warriors abandoned her due to her clear breach of honor making her an unworthy master to serve and follow.

And this allowed the lesser nobles and ministers to oust her to a remote property of the Clan that was used for summer retreats so she could birth the child in secret and perhaps use her later for an arranged marriage.

But it was at this junction that Gato maneuvered among the greedy of the Clan to make his the very lands those men coveted to control.

Gato flooded the Clan with his own men and businesses and it wasn't much of a surprise when they all wound up burned alive during a party he hosted and strangely arrived late to.

Without opposition and hundreds of his men already controlling much of the Clan no one dared oppose him and so established himself as the master of those lands.

He had attempted to clean himself and went out of his way to design his own banner which consisted of a snarling sea serpent, and convince others of his noble spirit.

But as if the very gods mocked him, the other noble Clans of the country refused to acknowledge him and on several occasions threatened him with military action calling him a usurper or that a worm would always be a worm no matter how much silk you dressed him with.

To Gato's fortune the other Clans warred with one another too much to actually move against him and his army of mercenaries and pirates, not to mention that the territory of the Uzumaki Clan was hard to access and extremely easy to protect.

Gato thought that in time some Clan or another would eventually recognize him as to get him an ally with money and savage men to throw into the furnace of war, and thus he had been sending gifts, servants and an army of diplomats with silvered tongues to earn him such status. But so far he had been unsuccessful and even the future seeing maidens of the Oni temple had rejected accepting his filthy money to grant him a glimpse of his own future.

And so for nearly nineteen years Gato had remained the de facto leader of the Uzumaki Clan lands without formal recognition making him an outcast among the mighty and powerful of the Clan.

Growing impatient with the figure who observed him quietly from the dark Gato asked in anger "So what does my mighty "general" would suggest me to do?! Or is he just bluff and chuckles?"

The figure stirred lightly and with a growl that made Gato regret his previous words he said "Well, if you can't make yourself a noble, then why not adhere to another?"

Gato frowned in puzzlement and suddenly realized what the dark figure meant.

"What good would a disowned single mother do for me?" asked Gato thinking of the many possibilities.

"Well, I am not very versed in such issues but if you made her your wife then that would make you the Lord of the Uzumaki by default and the other nobles would have no choice but to acknowledge that fact. And if you have an heir that would guarantee your own dynasty, a name is of little consequence if you think of the rewards" replied the man making Gato's eyes flare with anticipation.

"Yes, that is actually a sound idea…But doesn't she already have a son?" asked the man not certain on how to proceed.

"You seem to have lost your mettle my lord. The boy is a bastard that no one knows, you could always keep him a prisoner to make the woman cooperate willingly and once you get an heir…well, guards sometimes slip up" chuckled the dark figure.

Gato's eyes moved from one side to the other as he quickly considered his options and seeing the ruthlessness behind his henchman's words he grinned widely and said while pouring himself a large measure of Sake "Then go Mist Demon! And bring me my "fiancée", I can't wait to claim my due!"

AN: Done with the first chapter! Yay!

So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Should I make more chapters? Should I jump off a bridge?

The review and let me know your opinion about this brand new story.

For those who have been following me in other stories, I know I posted a poll as to help me decide but to be honest this was the subject I was more attracted to and actually had a developing story forming in my mind not to mention that this one may help me get past my current block in my other still unfinished projects.

I hope you enjoy this chapter and feel free to throw in your ideas and hopes, they may make it just for the heck of it since this is a humoristic story.
