"No! Please give me another chance!"
Naruto cried out in shock, tears building up in his eyes while his twin sister Mito snickered in the background before being silenced by a pinch to the ear by Kushina, giving her a warning glare.
"....Naruto, I'm sorry but this was the third time you failed to pass the exam. I don't see a point in wasting any more of your life away at the academy. You are already 16 years old, it's time to look for a different career path. Not everyone has what it takes to become a shinobi.... there's no shame in that." Kushina said with an awkward smile. "While you may have slightly above average chakra reserves due to being an Uzumaki.... it just isn't enough to overlook everything else. Your father made a lot of powerful enemies before he died and they will stop at nothing to kill us... it would be a death sentence if you stepped a foot out of this village-"
"ITS NO FAIR! I failed because you never trained me like you do Mito!" Naruto yelled angrily, pointing at Mito who poked out her tongue tauntingly. "If you jus-"
"ENOUGH!" Kushina snapped in annoyance. "You should already know she needs extra training due to containing the Yin half of the Kyuubi. No amount of arguing is going to change my decision mister! Now go to your room! I will find something for you to do in the morning!"
With a huff an angry huff Naruto went upstairs and slammed the door.
Kushina released a sigh of sadness before leaving together with Mito to train, having promised to teach her a new fire jutsu.
2 years later
"Mito! What did you do with my clothes!" Naruto shouts angrily, rushing downstairs in nothing but a towel.
"They're in your room," Mito said with a raised eyebrow.
"No the-"
Naruto was silenced with a slap to the face.
"How dare you accuse me of lying! While I did throw out those old raggy clothes I took the liberty of preparing an entirely new wardrobe and put them in your new room. " Mito emphasized as Naruto rubbed his stinging cheek. "A room befitting your new status," Mito said in a serious tone much to his bafflement.
Gritting her teeth Mito continued.
"I'm tired of seeing you laze around doing nothing but mooch off our clan funds. You are a grown-ass man yet you haven't even contributed a single yen to it nor have you even attempted to find a job in these last two years!" Mitio complained with annoyed exasperation.
Naruto looked down at his hands in shame, unable to meet her gaze.
"You're an embarrassment to the clan! The only reason mom never said anything is because she constantly felt guilty for crushing your unrealistic dreams!" Mito yelled making him flench, clenching his fist shakily. "Too bad for you now that she's no longer in charge, I am!"
Naruto gave her a surprised look.
"You mean...."
"Yes, I'm now the new clan head!" Mito declared proudly, "Mom decided to retire and is taking a well-deserved vacation, she won't be back for a couple of years," Mito said with a sinister grin making Naruto shiver. "I feel a loser like you is unfit to be a real Uzumaki so my first decree as clan head is to create a subdivision of the clan and make you our first-ever branch member, Congratulations." She clapped mockingly.
Naruto opened his mouth to protest but was slapped again.
"I hear any protest and you are out on the streets! Now let me show you your new room," Mito said with a strained smile, pulling Naruto's arm she dragged him to a life-sized painting of the Kyuubi in the laundry room and slid it to the side revealing a hidden entrance. "This is the previously unused servants' quarters... now it's your new living space."
Mito explained escorting him into the room.
It had to be the smallest room in the entire house. The room was a third of the size of his old one, with a small uncomfortable-looking futon in the corner with most of the space being taken up by a massive Wardrobe with a full-sized mirror on it.
"Cramped isn't it." Mito said mockingly, "But it's more than a failure like you deserve."
Naruto flinched at that, not understanding why his sister hated him so much.
"This is your new uniform, get dressed." Mito pointed at the pile of clothes assorted on the bed.
Naruto took one look at the clothes and cringed, glancing at Mito in confusion.
"I'm not joking," Mito demanded in a strict tone, making him glance back at the exit in consideration, wondering if being expelled from the clan was the better option. " "Oh, and here to teach you the ropes we have a special guest....." She said clapping her hands.
Naruto stumbled back as a figure dropped down from the ceiling in front of them and bowed.
"Uzumaki-sama, how may I be of service" A soft voice greeted.
Bowing in front of them was a green-haired woman wearing a maid uniform, along with a shinobi headband on her forehead and white pupillesss eyes indicating she was a member of the Hyuga clan, most probably being part of the branch with the headband hiding her curse mark.
Mito tore off his towel making him yelp in suprise while the Hyuga maid barely reacted besides a slight momentary widening of her eyes, before quickly regaining composure.
"This is Natsu Hyuga, a branch member of the Hyuga Clan. Seeing as I'll be too busy with missions and clan duties to waste any time on you I ordered a long-term D-rank mission from the Hyuga to help train my maids up to their standards."
Mito turned to Natsu and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry for the confusion, Naruto here is no longer part of the main branch. His new position is that of our family's servant, a maid to be exact, so please train him well. I will be out for a couple of weeks on a mission so please do your best to knock the disobedience out of him. As of right now, I grant you full authority over him. For all intent purposes, you are his master and he is your slave for the duration of his training. If he gives you any trouble feel free to discipline him by any means necessary."
Naruto froze in horror hearing this as Mito continued, handing Natsu a sealing scroll.
"He no longer has access to the clan funds so here is some money to buy groceries and other supplies he may need for training. He is not to leave the compound until further notice. Oh, and no matter how much he begs don't let him wear any male clothes, since he grew up to be a failure of a man at the very least as a sissy he can learn to clean up after his betters."
"...As you wish Uzumaki-sama" The green-haired Hyuga bowed.
Looking at the clock Mito started leaving.
"I'll be back in a couple of weeks. If you give Natsu any trouble...." Mito trailed off, giving Naruto a nasty side-eye.
Naruto gulped nervously as she left, leaving his nude form alone in the room with Natsu.
"Uzu-...no, Naruto-san." The Hyuga maid corrected herself. "I don't completely understand what's going on here but I will follow Uzumaki-sama's orders. Please don't resist. I will help you get dressed but you will eventually need to learn how to do this on your own." The Hyuga motioned to the clothes on the bed.
Taking a deep shaky breath Naruto grabbed a pair of white women's panties and reluctantly stepped into it slipping them on. Naruto slowly reached for the dress but Natsu stopped him.
"Naruto-san, you forgot the bra." The maid pointed out.
"...I don't need it" Naruto grumbled in annoyance, patting his nonexistent breast. "In f-" Only to get a harsh smack on the wrist.
"It is part of the uniform Naruto-san, and also please refrain from making such vulgar gestures. It's unbefitting of a maid. "
"Bu-"
Naruto was thrown over her knee before he could react and received a devastating chakra-infused smack to his rear, taking him aback about how mind-numbingly painful it was.
"A mere servant does not talk back to their superiors." The maid spoke with a raised voice startling Naruto. "It's not a maid's place to speak out turn unless explicitly ordered to!" The maid dropped him on the floor, forcing him into a kneeling position. "When I give an instruction you say "yes mistress", and do it." The maid released killing intent making Naruto almost go unconscious with fear.
"...yes mistress." Naruto crocked out.
The maid gained a small smirk on her face, feeling a surge of satisfaction at being the master for once in her miserable life.
Motioning for him to get up Naruto meekly took the bra and struggled to place it on. Next, he put on a black servant dress that reached to his ankles along with a white apron. Slipping on some black stockings and then slipping into a pair of black Mary Jane shoes.
To top it off Natsu grabbed a bonnet and placed it on his head. "Stand up straight" The maid ordered in a harsh tone, making Naruto go stiff as a board. Struggling to maintain balance in his new shoes. With a sneer, she laughed surprising him. "Not much of a man to begin with, this look suits you better" She taunted Naruto, cupping his face as she made him look at his reflection in the mirror much to his embarrassment.
"So here are the new ground rules..."
