Nindō: Dominion

"Please take a seat," Ino said. "Would you like something to drink? Tea?"

"Just water, Ino. Thanks," Naruto said. "And bring that technique while you're at it. I'm curious about its application."

"I'll have to go upstairs for that … it's in the bedroom." She handed Naruto the glass of water and went on her way.

"Take your time," Naruto leaned back as he sipped some of the water with a thoughtful expression on his face.

[How'd it go?] He called out in his head.

[Satisfactorily.] Hinata responded curtly, making him smile wryly.

[I'll come home just as I finish up with Ino's thing here. Let's go out for dinner. Just the two of us.]

[What about Hima and Boruto?]

[I'll ask Hanabi to come over and take care of them.]

[Fine… Let's do Ichiraku. I haven't eaten their ramen in months.]

[Don't make it sound like I never took you out …]

[You didn't. Not for the past three years, at least. The past month or so was the most I've seen your real self since you became Hokage.]

[I'll make it up to you, I promise.]

[You better.]

[Bye.] Naruto said, trailing the end of the word.

Not hearing a response from Hinata, he smiled with some satisfaction.

[I think she's coming around. No, Kurama?]

[Don't drag me into giving you marital advice. I'm a beast. Human interactions sound frustrating to me.]

[Yeah, like you and your siblings don't have a complicated relationship.]

[That's why I ignore them most of the time.]

Naruto snorted a light laugh but didn't continue his conversation, having heard Ino's footsteps coming out of her bedroom.

"Here you go, Naruto," she said, tossing a scroll at him as she was halfway down the stairs. "This isn't the original. It's my copy. As far as I understand it, this jutsu shouldn't even work. But it does …"

"Hmm…" Naruto nodded, gesturing with his hand for Ino to sit beside him as he focused on the scroll, analyzing its records.

"I … tried to use it," she blushed with embarrassment. "On myself and on a few people, but it didn't even work. Sakura told me that all she felt was me sending my chakra into her body. She didn't even feel the siphoning effect that I felt when he was using it."

Her tone got slightly hoarse by the end as her suppressed desperation momentarily came out to the surface. Naruto didn't react, only giving her a nod of acknowledgment as he continued analyzing the technique.

"Fascinating," he said as a small smile appeared on his face. "Mind giving me your hand?"

"Sure." Ino extended her hand forward for him to grab.

"Like this." Naruto shifted her hand and clasped it, interlacing their fingers. "Hold tight."

"All right … " He looked like he was deep in thought.

"Ah!~" Ino's body suddenly shook violently as she was subjected to the exact same feeling that she had been craving for days. Not only that, but she felt her chakra getting siphoned away from her as Naruto took it from her. Within a second of contact, she curled up, pulling her legs up to the couch and trying to yank her arm back, but Naruto didn't let go. As he deactivated the technique, Ino practically leaped closer to him and hugged him tightly. She continued shaking violently as if going through a seizure.

"My bad. I didn't control the intensity well." Naruto asked as Ino calmed down while huffing violently, gulping mouthfuls of air.

"What the fuck, dude?" Ino quickly moved away from him, pressing her legs together. "A heads up would be nice … And why the hell was this so much worse … I didn't react like that even when I was fucking your other version. You simply held my hand and made me squirt my brains out … That's dangerous."

"Do you still feel that craving?" Naruto asked her with a smile. "Go, change your clothes, examine your current state, and then we'll talk about the seal."

"I … don't … What did you do?" Ino asked.

"Go," Naruto said sternly, patting her back as Ino flinched.

"Sorry," she mumbled.

"I understand that this situation is overwhelming. That's why I want you to take a moment for yourself. I won't snoop around, promise."

"I'll be back soon." Ino nodded shakily before standing up on her wobbly legs. "Fuck, I can't believe this. I don't know whether to envy Hinata or pity her."

[What an interesting technique, don't you think, Kurama?]

[Do you think that any Uzumaki can use it, or is it just you?]

[I will have to see if Boruto can utilize it, but this should be the utilization of the authority within the Uzumaki blood. You probably gathered this from my general demeanor, but the Uzumaki clan doesn't originate from Kaguya, or any Ōtsutsuki ancestor for that matter. The whole thing about them being descendents of Ashura is bullshit. They are their own people, a completely different civilization. Similar to how the sages on Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave have existed from before the Sage of Six Paths.]

[That is why you are so adamant about opening up whatever lies under that village.]

[Exactly. That place is a gold mine. And this technique … this is just a taste of what I might find in there. This is nothing but the usage of the authority within the Uzumaki blood to impose absolute suppression by means of pleasure … That is why that alternate Naruto is so adamant about reviving the Uzumaki clan.]

[What is he preparing for, however? This talk about him breeding his wives every night shows less perversion and more desperation. One doesn't act like that unless there is some kind of crisis over their head.]

[Ino didn't mention anything about the Ōtsutsuki acting up there. Maybe some other threat, or maybe he also had a heads-up about the upcoming incursion. That would explain why that reality's Ino was so quick to betray me and work toward inciting chaos. Maybe they are already aware.]

[I feel that this ability could be so much more than a simple pleasure jutsu. Can you stop yourself from taking that minuscule amount of chakra with this technique?]

[I can't be sure without a test.]

[Try to use this technique by augmenting your chakra with mine. I want to focus on this absolute suppression ability instead of inducing pleasure.]

[On what? Ino isn't here.]

[Anything. Try that table. I believe this ability has more to provide.]

[Sure …]

Naruto's eyes narrowed as his palm glowed gold. Invoking the unnamed technique Ino provided, Naruto cycled the new augmented chakra with the described frequency to activate his bloodline. Kurama's chakra was interfering with the cycle, but Naruto didn't take control of it, allowing the fox to experiment with some modifications. He gently tapped his finger on the coffee table in front of him.

A loud crunching sound assaulted Naruto's ears, and he immediately deactivated the ability. The coffee table of the past was now nothing more than sawdust as it ruined Ino's carpet.

[I expected as much. That technique is simply a derivative of the real ability that stems from you. It is similar to the Dominion Mark.]

[Are you telling me that the Dominion Mark is a bloodline ability?] Naruto asked dryly. [That's not possible. Bloodline abilities manifest themselves completely differently.]

[I didn't say this is a bloodline ability. Simply that it stems from your blood. I intimately know how the Uzumaki bloodline abilities work. This requires you to move your chakra at a certain frequency. For the Dominion Mark, you move your chakra through the recipient's body in a similar manner as the mark manifests itself. It is the same for this ability. You move your chakra through your own body and invoke your bloodline. That's the only difference between this ability and the Dominion Mark.]

[Look at you, Kurama, all analytical and smart.] Naruto praised.

[I'm simply curious. Your accursed clan seems to have deeper roots than evidence would suggest, and I would like to survive until I find out all about it.]

[Tsundere fox.] Naruto laughed.

"What happened?!" Ino asked worriedly as she ran down the stairs, wearing a white tank top and purple baggy pants.

"I tested that technique on the table," Naruto said. "You can see the results."

"You used that technique on the coffee table?" She asked. A distressed expression appeared on her face as she imagined herself in the place of that coffee table, turning to dust.

"I'll pay you for it, don't worry."

"That's not what I'm worried about, dummy. This means that the technique damaged me. I need to get myself checked up by Sakura. Or better yet, Tsunade-sama … I don't want to die."

"Oh no, don't worry about that," Naruto said with a chuckle. "You're perfectly fine. That table was destroyed because I tested something with Kurama's chakra. It enhanced the technique. What's written in this scroll is a harmless pleasure-inducing technique that also sucks away small amounts of your chakra to empower the caster."

"That does not fill me with calmness, Naruto …" Ino said.

"Come here, sit. I'll explain to you what this technique is."

As Ino sat beside him, Naruto's arm brushed against her shoulder, making her stiffen up. She realized that in her hurry to come down, she hadn't worn anything over her tank top.

"Here," Naruto handed her a spare jacket from one of his storage seals.

Ino gratefully nodded and covered her shoulders with his jacket.

"This technique … as you may have realized, doesn't actually invoke any jutsu. It only instructs you to move your chakra in a certain manner without releasing it in any form. As your chakra cycles through your body in that pattern, a specific frequency is created. Now, that frequency is what invokes this ability. It stems from my Uzumaki bloodline. Give me your hand again."

"Do I have to?" Ino asked reluctantly. "I just changed …"

"I know what's going on now, and I have full control over it, don't worry."

Ino nodded, but Naruto could swear that he noticed a glimmer of disappointment in her eyes. Not calling her out on it, he grasped her hand, once again interlacing their fingers.

"I'll start with Yin-Yang Release," Naruto said. "Do you feel the warmth enveloping you?"

"Yeah …" Ino's tense shoulders naturally slouched as she felt like she was being rejuvenated from the inside out.

"Now that you are in top shape, I will use the ability on you. The real deal."

Ino's breath got stuck in her throat as a primal pressure assaulted her mind and body. She felt terrified and wanted nothing more than to separate herself from Naruto. To get away from him. But her body disobeyed her. She was paralyzed with fear and submission, unable to even look him in the eyes. She felt her head involuntarily lower itself as she practically prostrated herself while still sitting beside him.

That was when Naruto separated their hands, freeing her from that pressure.

"Are you all right?" Naruto held her by the shoulders and straightened her up. "I only applied it for a second because I know how dangerous it is."

"W-what was that?" Ino asked shakily, still unable to look Naruto in the eyes as feelings of submission and resignation toward the Hokage welled up within her. "I was paralyzed with fear …"

"Not fear, submission," Naruto said. "You probably feel that you can't refuse anything I ask of you at this moment, right?"

Ino didn't say anything, but her faint nod was enough of an answer.

"This is the origin of that pleasure ability. It capitalizes on this absolute domination and guides it to invoke the pleasure centers of the body while also making the recipient voluntarily give away small amounts of their chakra. The original technique should also have a redacted method to use that taken chakra in a useful manner than to simply increase the reserves."

"That sounds … dangerous."

"Maybe. Then again, it can only work with my chakra. So you don't have to worry about the technique falling into the wrong hands."

"I think I'm about to fall into the wrong hands …" Ino mumbled, looking up at Naruto with an aggrieved expression.
