Naruto: The Prince of Lust

Chapter 221

After the large gaseous cloud dissipates, Karin's eyes bulge at the sheer number of clones all over the yard, up many nearby tree trunks and branches, and all over the roof of the house. With her keen senses, she can tell Naruto and his clones are a tenth of a tenth of what his strength generally is. The sight of her exhausted cousin taking in deep audible breaths worries her, and yet, her worry was unnecessary when, unexpectedly, all of their chakra seem to signal a gradual increase in strength, as if they were immediately being replenished. The phenomena threw her off and Karin couldn't understand why that would happen or why it felt much more sinister than the warm chakra Naruto normally gives off.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto uses his arms to visually segment a third of his clones, shouting, "alright! This side, let's find that old pervert. Search everywhere," he yells and the third of clones all sprint or leap away. He then points to a single clone, directing it to, "head over to the library and meet up with that Nee-chan we met." As the single clone departs, Naruto turns to the rest and commands, "the rest of you, chakra blades training, fūton chakra control, and Ku-" Aware of his cousin, Naruto alters the name of the training to, "uh, K chakra training. Let's get to four tails!"

They all uproariously agree before sprinting away. When Naruto reaches his cousin, he grins as she asks, "four tails? What's K chakra training and who's the old pervert? Does he come by here? Is he one of those sickos who steal girls underwear?"

"K, uh, C training is just a special training I can do," Naruto hesitates to answer. Though Kurama doesn't want anyone to address him by his given name, Naruto explains, "I'll tell you more when I can. And the old pervert is someone I've been told to expect. He's supposed to train me. I'll introduce you as soon as I find him."

Scrunching her face as if smelling something horrible, Karin professes, "I'm fine not meeting some old pervert."

Naruto snickers at the thought of telling her Ero-sannin is his Godfather, thus part of her family as well. Following Karin back inside, Naruto takes a seat at the dining table with his last two cups of ramen as Karin moves around several tomes and scrolls as well as papers she's written her notes on.

His red-haired cousin presses her glasses back as she begins explaining from her notes, "so, to be a clan we need to meet certain qualifications; three main ones but each one has their own hurdles as well. So, first, we need territory. As of the latest volume of, Critical to Clans by Kingsfun, we don't need to have lived at a property for decades like it used to be; though I still need to go over the Land Use and Development Regulation Law. Generally, so long as we have the deed under our clan's charter, that seems to be what's most important."

Looking at all the stacked tomes, scrolls and papers with incredulity, Naruto asks between mouthfuls, "how long have you been at this?"

"A couple of days," Karin casually waves him off with a shoulder-swipe of her red hair. "I just like to keep my mind busy." Disliking staying still, Naruto nods his head in understanding when Karin asks, "so, I've been wondering. Did your parents leave you any land?"

Concerned, Naruto asks, "what is it?" Experience more content on empire

Reading down to the section she needed to explain, Karin hums before reading, "we'll need to be recognized as a clan, not simply by other clans within the village, but also by the civilian population."

With fond condolences, a reminiscent Naruto sincerely offers, "well, it was a nice dream while it lasted."

"Wait a minute," Karin states laying her palms on the table and leaning on the table to stare at him over the rim of her glasses. "I've already heard how unwelcome you are from Kakashi-sensei, Haku-kun, and even my interrogators, but we don't need all the civilians or even the civilians per se. We need to be able to have business transactions with them, which means they have to accept us—our clan—to do that. So, the quote-unquote, 'accepted by the civilian population,' is basically being accepted by free trade or consumerism."
