Yasaka turned around and waited till the tengu youkai composed himself. She then excused herself as she and the tengu-like youkai created distance between her child and the blonde stranger. The Youkai told her about a breach in their defense system. An intruder was in Kyoto.
"Impossible!" she yelled incredulously. The alarms would have alerted them of intruders so, how did they not know of it? The Tengu Youkai, as if knowing the question she had in mind, told her that a squirrel on patrol told the Guards about the breach.
"What do we know about this Intruder?" Yasaka asked impatiently. She values the safety of her people the most and a person skilled enough to enter Kyoto without raising any alarms was detrimental to the Youkai.
"Not much, all we know is that he was wearing a black robe and he had a hood on," the tengu-like Youkai, Ryujin answered.
Yasaka turned her head and her gaze fell on Naruto who was conversing with her daughter who was listening with rapt attention. She had this gut feeling that Naruto could be the one but if he was, he wouldn't have made contact with her, she was, after all, as strong as an ultimate-class devil and not to mention she had home advantage. Trying to get close to her would be stupid and suicidal. For now, she would keep an eye on him. Maybe her gut feeling was just wrong or maybe it was the haze she had been in ever since she entered the noodle shop.
"Keep this under wraps and comb the surrounding areas around where he was located last. He couldn't have gone far."
"Yasaka-sama, do you think it's Genryu?" Ryujin asked. Genryu, a general monkey youkai in her army, hated her with a burning passion. The Youkai was a warmonger as he always proposed they attack the Northern Faction forcefully and kill Nuraitenhon. He had always hated the fact that a woman was ruling Kyoto and Yasaka wouldn't put this stunt below him. For now, she would wait and investigate before making her next move.
"Keep an eye on him," she ordered and Ryujin left to carry out his orders. Now, it was time to ascertain Naruto Uzumaki.
"So, Naruto Uzumaki, what youkai are you?" She threw a question at Naruto as she took a seat beside her daughter.
Caught off guard, Naruto didn't know what to say. He pondered until Yasaka's golden orbs made contact with his blue ones.
"What do you mean?" He replied.,
"Every Youkai has a characteristic or two to show what type they belong to," she said as she increased her glare's intensity.
Naruto thought hard as he looked around the shop. Everyone had a unique look to them that made them look mystic. Some had tails, elongated ears, etc. But what did he have to make him look like one of them?.
"Um, I'm a whisker Youkai," he said pointing at his whiskers.
Everyone squinted their eyes at him except Kunou who had a look of fascination all over her face.
"What's a whisker Youkai, Haha-ue," the only child in the shop asked.
Naruto saw they weren't buying his lies and took to plan B. He did a sealess Henge and with a poof of smoke from his butt emerged Nine orange fox tails and two long fox ears. Yasaka, Kunou, and other Youkai in the shop gasped out in pure astonishment. A male fox Youkai, a Kyuubi, was once among them once again. The Shinobi didn't know he just created massive trouble for himself, a trouble even his vast powers couldn't handle.
"Haha-ue..." Kunou, staring at her mother with wide eyes pointed at the seated Shinobi.
"Where have you been all this while, Kyuubi." Yasaka snarled.
Naruto flinched back a bit thinking he had caused trouble.
"I won't accept you! I will never accept you as my mate!" The only mother roared furiously. Naruto got up from his chair and raised both hands in surrender.
"Whoa, slow down, I've been..."
The implication of Yasaka's words hit him like a bullet train as his mouth went wide open and his pupils dilated
"What do you mean Mate!?" he yelled back.
Different people started whispering as they gathered to witness the commotion going on in the shop. The news traveled at insane speed around the town of a Male Kyuubi.
"Doesn't he know?"
"Is he perhaps an outsider?"
An outsider is a Youkai born outside Kyoto and subsequently, they do not know about their rules and tradition.
"What sort of trickery is this!"
"Don't point at me, woman!"
"I'll never marry you, fiend."
"You take that back."
"Shut up!"
"Grr..."
Everyone watched as Naruto and Yasaka argued back and forth until the sound of marching soldiers reached their ears.
"Yasaka, what is this I hear about a male Kyuubi in Kyoto?" Genryu walked inside the shop and he immediately spotted the male Kyuubi everyone was talking about. Said female Kyuubi sent a glare at Genryu and immediately he knew what that glare meant.
"I will never marry a young, Inexperienced Kyuubi like him." She pointed at Naruto, whose ears were twitching badly. "I won't have a weakling be my mate."
"Who's she calling weak?" Naruto folded his arms and pouted. Kunou, who had been silent, laughed out loud when she saw Naruto pout.
"Yasaka-sama, it's a tradition passed from eons and we will uphold and enforce it." A group of super old Youkai came in and reminded Yasaka about their tradition.
The only mother gritted her teeth not liking the situation she was in. She was fine being a single parent and having a mate would send ripples she couldn't control around. The presence of a new Kyuubi would affect Kunou the most as she would be treated like an outcast as this was territorial behavior exhibited by all male Kyuubis. Her precious daughter's life and overall wellness was threatened by this strange whiskered Kyuubi.
"Excuse me, don't I have a say in this?" Naruto voiced out. "I'd rather not have another Nadeshiko incident," he added as an afterthought.
"You don't, Kyuubi," Genryu replied.
"I have a name!" He was uncomfortable with people calling his partner's name.
