Magic flowed through Kazuki’s circuits and build up at the point where his right leg was making contact with Nameless’ right leg, as his prana and her mana clashed and build up more force was applied, which would lead to the only logical outcome.

*BOOM*

Both combatants were thrown back by the explosion but they recovered mid-air before dashing toward the other, where their fists met and another shockwave was caused, then they started to exchange a flurry of punches and kicks at impressive speeds before jumping back.

“So, how is that body of yours responding?” asked Kazuki coyly.

Nameless just shook her throbbing arms before resuming her stance before responding, “Well enough but the way you fight is a bitch to deal with?”

“Isn't that offensive to the Diamond Dogs?” asked Kazuki with a raised eyebrow.

“No really, they can be pretty hard to deal with,” said Nameless before charging mana on her horn and launching a beam of magic at Kazuki, but the Ōtsutsuki just raised his right hand up and the Rinnegan absorbed the beam of magic, which caused Nameless to commented, “That's new.”

Kazuki just smiled before extending his left hand and shot the same beam he just absorbed but stronger, Nameless jumped out of the way but before she could react the same beam slammed on her from above. Behind her an Yomotsu Hirasaka was open and another one was above her current position, it didn't take a genius to guess what happened.

“I hope it wasn't too much for you,” said Kazuki as he looked down at the pit that was created, at its bottom was Nameless planted on the ground face first, the walls were made of glass and melted rock that was cooling down.

“Damn you little…” grumbled Nameless as she got up and spit some molten rock that was on her mouth before disappearing in a flash. Kazuki barely had time to turn and raise his arms to defend himself from the hoof that was intended to hit his spine, where she got the idea to use the Spartan Kick he didn't know but it seemed rather fitting because he would have fallen into the pit if it wasn't for the fact that he could fly.

“Really?” asked Kazuki with a deadpan expression and tone.

“I still remember you blindspot,” said Nameless with a smirk and Kazuki just smiled back before they dashed at each other again.

Back at the castle

Everyone was transfixed by the action on the screen, it was like watching one of those action-packed cartoons or superhero movies.

“Damn,” said Firefly as she watched.

"Trixie agrees," said Trixie as she observed the fight.

“Less eloquent than I would have put it, but I agree,” said Dawn as she adjusted her new glasses.

The younger members of the audience were just looking in awe not even caring about the conversation, all they need now was cool background music. (I'm playing Limit Break X Survivor as I write this)

*whistle* “Think I could join in that training of your?” asked Alexis to Moon who just shrugged.

“I must admit, it's quite a spectacle to see our master fighting like this, isn't that right sister?” asked Jewel and Song just nodded, her red scales concealing the blush she was supporting at the sight of her master's power and skill.

Then all of them noticed something and Mike commented, “Ok, that was unexpected.”

Back to the fight, a few moments earlier

The two combatants managed to lock each other's arms and were staring at each other's eyes, Kazuki’s reflected calm amusement while Nameless reflected savage ecstasy, both of them enjoying this little exchange, although Nameless seemed to enjoy it a little more than she should.

“Really? Getting off while we fight, shame on you,” accused Kazuki but his tone was more of a light teasing than anything.

“Why shouldn't I? The adrenaline, the throbbing sensation of our limbs hitting each other, the show of skill and strength to challenge and overcome the other. What's not to enjoy?” said Nameless with a bloodthirsty smile, clearly affected by the fragments that were part of her. It was a good sign, it meant that they were being integrated into her main personality. Nameless then leaned forward and licked Kazuki’s cheek before saying, “The only way to make it better is if we tore each other's clothes and started fucking right here right now.”

“Oh, I have to deal with such a naughty student, whatever shall I do?” asked Kazuki in a dramatic tone before saying, “Amenominaka.”

The world around them changed and the pair appeared on the air above a river of magma, having lost her footing Nameless was pushed back and was defenseless, so Kazuki kicked her to the pool of molten rock below. He watched as she smashed on the surface of the viscous superheated liquid and sunk, silence followed before it was broken by a blob of magma flying toward Kazuki and smashed him onto a platform of solid rock. Lava slowly dripping from the blob to reveal an unharmed Nameless as straddling Kazuki as she held his arms by the wrist beside his head.

“If you wanted to get me naked all you had to do was ask, there was no need to burn my clothes,” said Nameless in a sultry tone as the lava slid off of her body to reveal her white gold fur coat, her clothes being made of normal fabric didn't stand a chance against the lava, unlike Kazuki's clothes.

“Oh, I actually forgot that your clothes were normal,” commented Kazuki, his eyes never leaving Nameless’ golden ones, not that he needed since he had almost three hundred and sixty degrees of vision and could see her orangish nipples and pussy quite clearly, plus her fiery mane contrasted wonderfully against the dark and smoke/ash filled sky.

“I would call that BS but I know better,” said Nameless as she leaned forward making sure to use her own magic to disrupt Kazuki's and she also made sure to press her palms against his to cover the eyes on his palms and make impossible for him to use hand seals by interlocking her fingers with his. As her face got closer to his she teasingly licked his cheek and lips before asking, “What can you do now?”

“A few things, for example: λάβα λεπίδες,” said Kazuki and just as she said something that Nameless couldn't understand blades made of molten rock shot from the pool around the platform and attempted to pierce the alicorn, however, her affinity with the sun made her immune to heat and since the blades where not that sharp or hard they just pushed her off of Kazuki. Then Kazuki said just before the blades started to lose their shape, “Στερεοποιώ.”

“Whata hell was that?” asked Nameless as she was stuck in a ring of rock, the blades easily bent around her waist before becoming solid.

“It's just a little thing called ‘Divine Words’, an incantation that called upon by divine power to enact a spell. Had you gagged me you might have won our little sparring session,” commented Kazuki.

“So kinky,” commented Nameless coyly as she expelled mana from her body while adding fire attribute to melt her prison, unknowingly using a skill called 'Mana Burst(Fire)’ in the process.

“Good use of Mana Burst(Fire),” commented Kazuki but Nameless just looked at him confused by the term he used, so he explained, “The ability to expel mana in a single burst with fire attribute in this case.”

“There’s was a name for that?” asked Nameless confused.

“Of course, many of the simple and 'useless’ skills that Equestrians can use not only have names but also more advanced and specialized forms. Remember that I came from a world where magic was far more advanced and mana was far more scarce,” commented Kazuki and Nameless just shrugged before using her telekinesis to lift a glob of lava and splash it on her back. Then she used her magic to mold it into armor, covering her breasts, crotch, shoulders, thighs, hooves and hands.

Wasting no time Nameless leaped forward with a punch ready and Kazuki raise his right arm to block it, that proved to be a mistake because he felt his radius and ulna crack under the pressure.

“Looking forward to those lessons,” said Nameless with anticipation, despite Kazuki not showing it she felt and heard his bones crack just now.

“Amenominaka,” answered Kazuki and suddenly the pair found themselves inside a block of ice, then Kazuki used Kamui to phase out of the ice and leave a perfect cavity with his body shape along with the pieces of rock that were previously semisolid and were stuck on his kimono. Kazuki just watched in amusement as Nameless's followed his form as he exited the cold trap, and he couldn't help but comment, “That will help you cool off a little.”

By the roll of her eyes Nameless wasn't amused and started to release superheated mana to raise the pressure inside the ice, cracks formed as her armor started to glow orange before the block shattered. Kazuki back away from the mountainside as that event caused an avalanche and just watched from the distance. Predictably, Nameless charged at him with her fists lightened and this time he reinforced his arms and legs with both prana and aura before exchanging blows with the rather crossed lava armored alicorn, she didn't seem to appreciate the cold.

Kazuki sighed, this was going to be a long day.

About an hour later, another dimension

“Damn you and your weird magic,” said Nameless as she struggled to remain standing as she panted heavily, she could barely do so because of the exhaustion and the increased gravity of this place. Both combatants were standing on a simple plain field with some mountains in the distance. Nameless just looked at her opponent, he was breathing heavily but not as bad as her and he seemed unbothered by the gravity, so she asked, “You weren't this strong when we(Kazuki and Celestia) fought. What changed?”

“Back then I was merely stalling so that Faust could be healed, my overconfidence ended with my imprisonment and Faust almost didn't make it. Now, I'm actively pushing you back every time you attack to test your limits, which seemed to have been reached,” said Kazuki and he was about to end this long sparring session when Nameless growled.

“I'm not done yet,” said Nameless as she refused to lose without giving her all and she decided to resort to something that Celestia discovered and kept secret from everyone. She focused mana on her right hand and reached deep into herself and willed a secondary source of energy to her left hand, then with a smirk she clapped and a bright light engulfed the alicorn. When the light subsided she seemed to have recovered and her body glowed golden with power as she was ready to fight another round, so she commented, “You're pretty amazing for making me resort to this technique. Celestia discovered after Moon’s banishment and she trained with it whenever she could, just in case her strength was needed. I pull a still unnamed energy before combining it with my magic, this move doesn't have a name yet. Pretty amazing, isn't it?”

Kazuki's expression remained neutral as he observed Nameless demonstrate her new technique, then he simply lifted his hands and much to the surprise of the alicorn proceeded to do the same as she just did.

“You're wrong, that energy you just said was unnamed is called Ki/Chi or Aura depending on the style/school you use while the technique itself is called Kankahou or Xiánguàfǎ(咸卦法, The Law of the Divination Sign of All) and is but the foundation for the use of the body and spirit,” said Kazuki as he glowed with a white outline. Then he asked, “Do you still want to fight?”

“Hell yeah!” shouted Nameless before charging for one last clash while Kazuki did the same.

*BOOM*

A shockwave akin to a great explosion was heard and felt by no one besides the ones that caused it in the first place and a cloud of dust followed by silence was all that remained. When the dust dissipated Nameless could be seen panting on the ground as she looked up at the green sky, once again she was naked without her magic keeping her armor together while Kazuki's kimono was torn, which left him only wearing rags that he proceeded to rip off before sitting beside the downed alicorn.

“That was fun,” commented Kazuki with a smile, it was rare for him to fight like this.

“Yeah,” said Nameless before enjoying the comfortable silence. Then she said, “Passion Sol.”

“Pardon?” asked Kazuki.

“My name, it's Passion Sol. It just came to me during our fight,” commented Sol with a somewhat peaceful expression on her face as she gazed at the alien sky.

“Congratulations, then,” said Kazuki before picked the bigger mare bridal style and opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka and carried her through.

Back at the castle, Kazuki's room

“How about a cold and relaxing bath?” asked Kazuki as he arrived through his Yomotsu Hirasaka.

“That sounds wonderful, and it would be even better if you joined,” said Sol as she hugged Kazuki, it was a bit awkward because of the size difference but she didn't care. From there the two enjoyed a nice and relaxing bath before spending the rest of the day together.

A week later, dojo

“... now reach for it and bring it out,” instructed Kazuki as he sat in the Padmasana or Lotus Position in front of his class as his students did the same. Right now they were practicing their Nen, more specifically the Ten, by letting their aura flow out in a controlled manner. Then he added, “Now hold it.”

Moon, Sol, Jewel and Song sat on the back since they were the tallest ones, Dawn, Alexis, Haven and Sugar were still getting used to the fact that they had magic while Firefly, Windy, Bee and Oz were getting used to their new wings and their ability to fly, on the other hand, thing didn’t change that much to Mike, Hild, Lily, Val, Penny, Juniper and Daisy aside from their greater strength. The sirens and Sunset got used to their old bodies pretty quickly and had no problem whatsoever, so they had more time to learn martial arts and Nen, plus Trixie was happy to finally be able to learn directly from Kazuki.

“Oooh,” said the childish voice of Gloriosa Lily as she sat on Faust’s lap, the mechanical alicorn was sitting on the side as she observed the lesson and took care of the foal while her mother was occupied.

“Yes, little one, that’s very fascinating,“ said Faust as she observed her daughters and because of her mechanical body she was unable to use Nen, however, she had plans to implement an approximation if needed.

After a few minutes, Kazuki's students were starting to sweat and breath heavily as they held their Ten. Thinking they had enough for today Kazuki said, “That's enough.”

No sooner than Kazuki said that everyone collapsed on their back panting.

“Damn… that looked so easy when you did it,” commented Firefly as she rolled to her side because of the awkward position of her wings, sometimes she forgot that they were there. Something similar happened to Bee, ironically out of them the ones that learned about Nen more easily were Daisy and Windy while Sol and Moon were the ones that were having more difficulties, apparently they were too used to channeling magic. The two alicorns’ chakra control was only good because it also used their spiritual energy, aka mana, but now that they were dealing with pure physical energy, aka aura, their mentality was getting in the way. Sol was doing marginally better simply because she learned how to draw out her aura, crudely done but it was something.

Speaking of Daisy and Winry, Kazuki was pleasantly surprised with Windy willingness and aptitude for medical ninjutsu but with her caring nature it was to be expected, which was complemented by her affinity for both Inton(Yin Release) and Yoton(Yang Release)as well as minor Raiton(Lightning Release), however, Daisy had Mokuton(Wood Release) just like Kazuki predicted and while she didn’t have much combat experience or inclination she could still help in other ways. All the others had simple elemental affinities with some surprising elemental kekkei genkai but otherwise nothing as surprising as Daisy’s Mokuton(Wood Release).

Val, her little sister and Penny possessed Bakuton(Explosion Release), additionally Penny also possessed Ranton(嵐遁, Storm Release) while Firefly and Bee had Jinton(Swift Release), which suited them fine, lastly, Oz had Shakuton(灼遁, Scorch Release) and Shōton(漿遁, Plasma Release), while Mike had Kōton(Metal Release). Aside from them only Haven, Sugar and Juniper had kekkei genkai while the rest had simple elemental affinities, Haven had Jiton(磁遁, Magnet Release), which she shared with her sister, as well as, much to her delight, Shōton(Crystal Release) while Juniper had Meiton(冥遁, Dark Release).

However, the most surprising fact was the fact that Sol and Moon had not one, not two but three kekkei genkai, he supposed that only the strongest would survive in that harsh world and as such some combat-related traits, as well as the ability to learn quickly, would be desirable traits while alicorn had a far more “complex” spirit and physical energy, so them having three kekkei genkai was a possibility. Sol had Futton(Boil/Steam Release), Yoton(Lava Release) and Kōton(Metal Release) while Moon had Hyoton(氷遁, Ice Release), Jiton(Magnet Release) and Shōton(Crystal Release). With all that, Kazuki was eager to see what their Nen Types were and he was curious to see how they would develop from now on.

“That’s all, for now. You all have reached an acceptable level of proficiency with Aura to undergo water divination, so we are going to take a break before doing that,” said Kazuki to his tired students and they groaned in agreement. After about an hour of resting and eating some snacks, they sat back on their previous places, however, before them was a small foldable table with a goblet of crystal filled to the brim with clear water with a small leaf floating on its surface. With all of them in their positions, he started to explain, “Now, I’m sure everyone here is aware of the four basic principles of Nen: Ten, Ren, Zetsu(絶, Suppress/Null) and Hatsu.”

All of the students present nodded and Kazuki summoned a giant scroll before lifting it with his telekinesis and unroll it behind him showing a diagram.

“These are the six types of Nen one can have, notice their position. You can have only one type and you can only use abilities of your on Nen Type with 100% efficiency, the further you stray from your category the more difficult it will be to use said ability but not impossible. The adjacent categories can be used with 80% efficiency, while the opposite can be used with 40% and the in between can be used with 60%, the only exception are the specialists with somewhere between 1% and 0% depending how close your category is to it,” explained Kazuki and not long after Penny, Dawn and Trixie raised their hands, so he pointed at Penny.

“How do we know our type?” asked Penny excitedly.

“As I said before, it's through a ritual called ‘Water Divination’ and that's the purpose of the cup in front of each of you. I going to accompany each one of you individually to determine your Nen Type, normally even knowing another's Nen Type is considered measure of great trust because its the knowledge of one's foundation, this normally only happened between master and student as well as between fellow students of the same master,” said Kazuki as got up and walked from one side to the other as he explained. Then he added, “So, only reveal your Nen Type to someone you trust with your life. Now, we can do the ritual privately, just you and me, or it can be done here with everyone witnessing, I'll leave that choice to each one of you. So, are you all ready to start?”

They nodded and Kazuki approached the sirens, who were sitting in the first row, and asked, “Well, since you three were my students before I'll start with you three. So, openly or privately?”

“We don't mind,” said Adagio and Sonata nodded.

“What she said,” said Aria with her usual tone before asking, “So, who's first?”

“Oh oh oh, pick me, pick me,” said Sonata excitedly as she stretched her hand up.

“Very well,” said Kazuki and Sonata clapped her hands before composing herself and focus on the cup. Seeing that she was focused Kazuki started, “Place your hands on either side of the cup, breath in and out just like I thought, then start using Ten.”

Sonata did as instructed and as Kazuki used Gyo(凝, Focus), which in on itself could be considered a localized and advance version of Ren, he saw as the whitish vapor like substance that was Aura slowly increasing in intensity. Between her hands, a change started to occur, at least to Kazuki, and after a while, he said, “That's enough Sonata.”

Sonata stopped before looking at Kazuki confused before saying, “But nothing changed.”

“Taste it,” suggested Kazuki and Sonata placed the tip of her finger on the water before bringing it to her mouth, then she hummed in approval.

“Taste like sauce,” commented Sonata happy.

“Really?” asked Aria before doing the same, which ended up with her gagging and coughing, after which she said, “Yeah, taste like her favorite sauce. I still don't know how you can eat that.”

“What does that mean, Sensei?” asked Adagio and making sure to use the proper title in the classroom.

“It means that she is a Transmuter,” explained Kazuki.

“Neat,” said Sonata and she was pretty happy with herself since she could make her sauce for her tacos, well, water that tasted like sauce.

“I'm next, I suppose,” said Aria and Adagio just shrugged as the purple siren took a deep breath as Kazuki repeated his instructions. Like before he used Gyo to observe as Aria used her Ten, however, this time a visible change started to appear as the water started to slowly acquired a purple misty aspect and Kazuki told her to stop. Out of curiosity, she tasted the water as she did with Sonata’s glass, who was occasionally dipping the tip of her finger in her cup and tasting her water, before committing, “Still tastes the same.”

“That means you are an Emitter,” said Kazuki.

“Cool,” said Aria with her usual disposition.

“The best for last,” said Adagio before pulling the sleeves of her kimono back and follow Kazuki's and instructions. The effect was immediate, the leaf started to shake and cause ripples, she raised an eyebrow but her hands recoiled when the glass cracked.

“Oh, that's interesting,” commented Kazuki as he observed the cracked glass.

“So, what type am I?” asked Adagio as she thanked the fact that the foldable table had raised edges and didn't allow the water to fall on her kimono.

“Inconclusive, movements would suggest a Manipulator but that was more like a vibration than movement, any non-standard effect would suggest a Specialist. We need to do more tests later,” said Kazuki and Adagio nodded before he moved to Sunset before asking, “Are you ready?”

“Yes,” said Sunset as she took a deep breath, out of instincts she tried to bring out her magic but instead she was forced to rein it in as she brought out her Aura. Because she was with her eyes closed she didn't see the effect she was having but by the murmur she was hearing it was visible to the others, so when she opened her eyes she saw that the leaf was moving around the surface of the water and remembering what Kazuki mentioned she concluded, “So, I'm a Manipulator.”

“Yes, that's a textbook case of a Manipulator type Nen,” said Kazuki.

“I'm actually surprised that none us is a Manipulator,” commented Adagio and Aria agreed with her.

“The manipulation aspect comes from your mana, not your aura,” explained Kazuki before moving down the line to Penny and Hild before saying, “Let's see what you two have to offer.”

The two earth ponies, like the sirens before them, did as instructed and while Penny's didn't show any visible change Hild's leaf started to move in a similar manner to Sunset's.

“A Transmuter and a Manipulator,” commented Kazuki, Penny he expected since she was very whimsical like Pinkie Pie, on the other hand, Hild was very stoic and hard to judge at first but she was mostly logical in her thinking process and tended to do things at her own pace, both were characteristics of a Manipulator but they were kinda hard to spot with her deadpan attitude.

“An Emitter and an Enhancer,” commented Kazuki as he said the results from Bee and Firefly, who was sitting behind her little sister on the back row, the two pegasi did the ritual and Bee's water changed to orange hue while Firefly's started to overflow from the cup. Interestingly enough, Lily and Val ended up with the same result, Lily was an Emitter while Val was Enhancer, and if their counterparts had the same affinity then it was no wonder their personalities clashed so much. With these four done he moved to Sugar and Haven, which resulted in something new since Kazuki started this whole thing, specs of some unknown substance started to appear in their water cups and as time passed it started to coalesce into bigger lumps, so Kazuki commented, “Finally, I would be disappointed if we didn't get at least one Conjurer, now we got two.”

Considering the CMC's counterparts’ types it was no wonder they got into so much trouble, two Emitters bouncing ideas is rarely a good thing since they tend to be impatient, reckless, impulsive and not very detail oriented while Conjurer was good at analyzing things as well as the situation their willingness to speak tended to be 50/50. At least such a combination rarely made the day boring and those traits were more obvious since they were kids. Despite their age, they were pretty good at setting up traps and scouting the area, but considering the world they used to live in, it wasn't a surprise, however, since they were free to be childish without fear of being killed they developed quite a taste for pranks.

Anyway, after testing the sisters he moved to the only male dragon present and his sisters, Nen came easily to Oz and he only lost to the dragon sisters when it came to his learning curve, Dawn, Alexis and Oscar did the water divination like the others and since all five usual categories already appeared they were bound to fall in one of them, the only exception was if Kazuki found a Specialist but such likelihood was very low. Dawn ended up being a Manipulator and Alexis ended up being an Enhancer, however, much to his surprise Oz's leaf started to fold into itself and Kazuki just showed a rather wicked smile as he said, “Hoo, a Specialist, possibly two if Adagio is confirmed to be one. Karma truly comes around.”

“Um, Sensei, could you stop looking at me like that, it's kinda creepy,” said Oz as he started to fidget a little bit.

“Sorry,” said Kazuki as he schooled his features before moving to the others, Mike, Daisy, Jewel and Sol were Enhancers, Juniper and Song were Transmuters while Moon was a Conjurer and Trixie was a Enhancer, the latter was interesting case considering her previous occupation but he supposed that was where her stubbornness and selfishness came from, however, he was surprised once again by Windy of all ponies when he saw the Petiole of her leaf started to lengthen and absorbing some of the water eventually turning into a seedling.

Kazuki had to resist the urge to smirk as he explained some exercises for each type as well as offering some advice to help them start developing their Hatsu, two confirmed Specialist and a possible one, the fact that he found three students like himself was just astonishing. Technically speaking, he started as a Manipulator but because of his extremely long life, his Aura slowly changed to something similar to a Specialist, which was an extremely rare event. Either way, he was going to have fun teaching his students and he was looking forward to it.

A week later, morning

Kazuki was just meditating in his room, today was a day off and only Windy, Val and Firefly were training, the latter two were sparring while Windy was helping around in the nursery and/or infirmary. The two that were sparring focused on their combat capabilities while Windy was leaning more toward support, she was focusing on medical ninjutsu and was asking for tips in developing a Hatsu similar to Dr. Frankenstein, however, unlike her counterpart she had no qualms in using her knowledge to safeguard those she cared by making poisons to be used, she didn't like to make her target suffer so she tended to make either non-lethal poisons or one that would short the target suffering as much as possible. Dawn and Sunset were studying in the library and Sunset was helping Dawn with her magic while the sirens were relaxing in one of the underground lakes, the younger ones were probably up to one of their mischievous schemes and over the weeks they earned nickname Rascal Ranger Squad or RRS for short. As far as Kazuki was concerned their pranks were a good training method and he wouldn't be stopping them so long they follow the guidelines he gave them.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

“It’s unlocked,” said Kazuki, his eyes closed as he breathed in and out while facing the open door that led to the balcony, his aura pulsing in sync with his breathing as the rays of sunlight bathed the white exposed skin of his topless torso.

“So, you were here,” said Gard as she entered the room, as she entered she was wearing only her jacket, which was not unusual, however, that was negligible compared to her most obvious change, she was pregnant. Her round belly went past her knees and it made it difficult for her to walk on two legs, so she had had to walk on all fours, the fact that Diamond Dogs’ gestation lasted a third of human ones and the fact that they had litter of anywhere between four to ten on average didn’t help her situation. Behind and beside her came the cute yelps and barks of her pups as they entered the room while shouting “daddy!”, “da!”, “pa!”, “papa!” or something similar and Kazuki just sighed as he was dogpiled by excited pups, thus interrupting his meditation, Gard just sat beside Kazuki and leaned on the smaller humanoid’s left side and hugged him while saying, “Sorry, boss, but we missed you.”

“No, it’s fine, today is a day off anyway,” said Kazuki before he patted some of the puppies and once they got their attention some of them went to explore Kazuki’s room, being careful with the delicate decoration because they didn’t want to be scolded by Kazuki again, which ended with many of them climbing and jumping on his bed. Some pups remained with Kazuki as he returned his attention to Gard as he used his Sensor Type abilities to look at her newest litter, he managed to count around 18 and they would be born soon. They were conceived after Gard got particularly insistent and wouldn’t take no for an answer, while he wanted to avoid having children it wouldn’t be much of a problem from now own, besides with the number of new clan members it wouldn’t much of a change. So, he just placed his left arm around Gard and let his left hand rest on the taut skin of her belly before saying, “They developing nicely.”

“Yeah,” said Gard as she placed her bigger paw over Kazuki’s hand, which seemed to cause the puppies to become more active, “Um, they know their father is here.”

“Maybe they are Sensor Types,” contemplated Kazuki before looking at Gard, despite her happy and pleased look she seemed to be rather tired. So, he asked, “Have you been keeping up with the diet and exercises I gave you, Gard?”

“Um… yes,” said Gard trying to look innocent but hear ears dropped as Kazuki frowned.

“Gard, I told you to not skip either one. They would make sure you get all the energy you and the pups needs, no wonder you looked tired,” said Kazuki with somewhat disappointed tone and that affected Gard if the sad whine was any indication. He sighed before saying, “After they are born you're going to train extra hard, no excuse. Am I clear?”

Gard just nodded and Kazuki's attention was caught by one of the puppies tugging his yoga pants, when he looked down the pup asked, “Mommy in trouble?”

“The correct phrase is 'Is mommy in trouble?’, little one,” said Kazuki as he picked the pup up and placed her on his lap, then he said, “But yes, she is. She has been lazy and now she is lacking the energy to feed your new siblings properly and do her daily activities.”

*gasp* “But puppies need lots of energy to grow strong,” said the pup as if it was the most obvious things in the world before moving closer to Gard's belly and hugged it while asking, “Can Roxie help?”

“I'm afraid not now, little one, however, you and your siblings can make sure your mom eats her food at the right time and do her exercises,” said Kazuki and the pups that were paying attention nodded vigorously and Gard just looked at him as if saying “traitor”, so he just faced her and said, “Don't give me that look, it was you who insisted on having another litter. I know it's not fun going on a diet and do the exercises but it's healthy, plus I speak from experience.”

“Ok, I get it. Still, many would think that being pregnant is more than enough reason to relax a little,” grumbled Gard in defeat.

“Not really,” said Kazuki as he looked at the tired looking Gard before offering, “I can help you by either sharing or taking on your precious cargo for a day or two. Interested?”

“Can you do that?” asked Gard in surprise and Kazuki just gave her a deadpan look, which caused her to chuckle nervously. However, that did cause her to think about it and while she enjoyed being pregnant her rather sizeable litter was proving difficult to deal with, plus it was the first time someone ever offered a break from her condition and while it was weird it was tempting, plus she trusted Kazuki, which caused her to comment, “A break would be nice.”

Kazuki nodded before doing some hand seals and place his hand on the floor as he activated the Rinnegan on his third eye. The seal array appeared briefly before a puff of smoke burst from it and engulfed the room. The smoke disappeared in no time and a coffin was revealed, the lid slid to the side to reveal a female diamond dog with the same markings as the one male dog they saw before. The white dog opened her to show beautiful sapphire blue eyes as well as the third eye on her forehead with the Rinnegan. The female dog walked out of the coffin before it disappeared in another puff of smoke and back to the storage.

“Take off your jacket and collar before standing up, I will take care of the rest,” said Kazuki through the female diamond dog, her voice sounding both caring yet commanding.

Gard just took in the image of the fine example of a female of her own species, the white fur with black tips on the ears and tail with red markings all over her body accentuated her womanly curves. The red lines around her eyes, the swirling marks around her breasts that were bigger then Gard's, the circles on her belly, the wind like fractal spirals on her shoulder blades and butt cheeks. Aside from the red and black mentioned, her fur was as white as freshly fallen snow and despite being fluffy and soft looking her coat didn't conceal the well developed and define musculature she possessed. All in all, a fine example of an alpha female and Gard did as she was asked without a fuss.

“Good girl,” whispered Kazuki using the female body after it walked around Gard and hug her from behind, then she added after licking Gard’s cheek, “My name in this body was Tera, feel free to use it. Now, raise your arms until they are parallel to the floor with your paws facing forward.”

Tera placed her own bigger paws over Gard’s and as the bigger female leaned forward she pressed her breasts on Gard’s back before saying, “This might feel weird but just relax.”

Gard felt a strange warmth spread around her paws, arms and back. When she looked at her sides she saw her paws and arms slowly sinking into Tera’s flesh, plus if the same warmth spreading through her back was any indication she was literally sinking into Tera’s body. She felt the same warmth travel up her legs as Tera stepped forward and placed their legs in the same space. Soon enough Gard was just a gray head below Tera’s head, Gard’s gray belly was slowly replaced by a white fur coat. This was an application of the original form of Ukon and Sakon’s kekkei genkai as well as the Kimera no Jutsu(鬼芽羅の術, Demon Bud Capture Net Technique) into a kekkei tōta called Kūton(肉遁, Flesh Release), in fact because of his kekkei mōra he had every possible kekkei genkai in the Narutoverse.

“Um, I almost forgot how good it feels,” said Tera as she placed her paws on her belly, which caused a shiver to run their shared spine. Then Tera locked down at the head that was sticking out of her chest and rested her chin on top of Gard’s head before rumbling, the vibrations proving to be very relaxing to the gray wolf, then she asked, “So, wanna share custody or want me to babysit them for a day or two.”

“Could you give me some time to think, I’m kind of enjoying this new arrangement,” said Gard with a smile and almost dopey tone.

“Of course, dear,” said Tera as she kissed the top of Gard’s head, then she slowly moved her own head a bit to the right side while also moving Gard’s head to be at her left, then the white fur on the left side of their shared body was slowly being replaced by gray fur. In the end, the result was that their shared body had the right side looking like Tera and the left looking like Gard with a perfect vertical line on the middle of their body showing this arbitrary separation, even their tail was perfectly split in the middle. Tera assumed the control of their shared body and the conjoined couple moved to the bed where they sat cross-legged, Tera humming and Gard moaning as they felt the weight of their unborn pups rest on their hips and legs.

“Mommy?” asked Roxie as she climbed on the bed with most of the pups, who were curious at the strange fusion that just occurred.

“Oh, baby, its me,” cooed Gard and Tera gave control over the body to the grey she-wolf as she used both arms to pick two of the worried and curious pups and hug them, it didn’t take long for most of the others to gather around and poke the two-headed anthro canine, clearly being affected by her hormones.

Kazuki just shrug off the feedback he was feeling from the spare body he was sharing with Gard, this was not the first time he was sharing a body with someone else during pregnancy and just paid attention to the few pups that stayed with him. It wasn’t exactly easy to appease twenty energetic pups that like to play around, he was almost regretting the fact that he helped to double their numbers, almost.

“You and mama, one now?” asked Bryn as she rested on Kazuki’s lap, she and all the pups understood that the white Diamond Dog was also Kazuki and that he was able to be in many places at once as well as look different if he wanted, plus he had many strange powers.

“In a way, yes,” said Kazuki and Bryn just nodded.

The unconventional family just spend most of the morning together, Tera and Gard just enjoying their shared body and fawning over the pups.

“So, have you decided?” asked Tera and it took a while for Gard to remember what her mate was referring to, as much as she loved their new condition she already made her decision but it was so tempting to remain like this.

“Babysit, please. I kinda miss being able to see my own feet,” said Gard and Tera nodded before slowly moving Gard’s head further to the left side, then Gard slowly slid out of Tera’s body and once more the half of her body came out of Tera’s left side she fell on the mattress. She looked just as she did before getting pregnant and as she sat up she noticed that she was actually heavier, sure enough, she looked a little chubbier, then she looked at Tera and paid no mind to the pups gathering around her curiously before poking her belly in curiosity. Then Gard commented, “So, that’s what you meant.”

“Indeed, I just took the pup in your womb and left the added weight where it was. The weight you will be losing once either I or you give birth to our pups here,” commented Tera as she patted her belly.

“And you could start your training and dietary regime right now if you wanted,” commented Kazuki from where he was sitting while his other body played the role of loving mother to the pups.

“Yeah yeah,” said Gard dismissively before she placed her own paws on Tera’s belly, still finding it hard to believe that the pups she was carrying just a few moments ago were no longer in her own belly, however, the emptiness and lack of weight resting on her pelvis told her otherwise. So, she did something she remembered her previous mates do, she placed her ear on Tera’s belly and listened, the moment she felt a kick she was filled with a different sort of happiness and just nuzzled her expecting mate, the knowledge that these pups were hers filled her with a strange and new sort of pride as she looked at Tera.

Kazuki was jolted out of this loving scene when he felt ripples of magic, immediately he opened himself to the Natural Energy and entered Sage Mode before “looking” at the source of the ripples.

“Tch, out of all possible days you had to choose when I wanted to relax. Typical,” snorted Kazuki as he got up summoned his kimono and hakama before saying to Gard through his second body, Tera, “Stay here, things might get ugly.”

Kazuki used Kamui to disappear in a spiral pattern with his third eye as the center.

Top of the castle

Kazuki emerged just above the castle with his Byakugan activated and in the distance, he could see some familiar pink clouds but his vision was focused on the empty stone base where a statue used to be.

“So, you moved to Celly and Lulu’s former place, huh?” asked a voice behind Kazuki and he knew that voice.

“It was build in a forest I grew in the first place,” said Kazuki before turning around and face a familiar humanoid chimera with a leather jacket and pants, then Kazuki added, “Discord.”

“‘Sup Kaz, miss me?” asked Discord as he held a literal bucket of, as in made of, popcorn that was filled with chocolate. Then he took a bite of the strange snack before offering it to Kazuki while asking, “Want some?”

“Sure,” said Kazuki with a shrug.
