Naruto arched an eyebrow at her. He didn't think she'd go and suggest that to him. “Not that I'm complaining, but if I summon someone else from your world, not only would my work be set back but I would have two people I'd have to support. Don't you want to go back home as quickly as possible?”

“Sure I do.” Cynthia replied, nodding in confirmation. “But you did say finding a way to get me home could take you months or years to do. As for you 'taking care of me'? That won't really be a problem.” Seeing the questioning look on the blonde's face Cynthia elaborated. “You forget I only need a minimal amount of nourishment once every few days, a week if I really push it.”

“Oh, I did forget that.” Naruto admitted sheepishly.

Cynthia giggled in amusement at the look on Naruto's face. “Besides if I'm going to stay here until then, then I want to be able to have some...fun, if you know what I mean?” She purred with a suggestive wink and put her right hand on Naruto's semi-hard cock and started rubbing her fingers along its length.

Naruto growled pleasurably in the back of his throat as he felt his shaft harden from Cynthia's ministrations. Feeling cold and seeing it was well in to the evening, he reluctantly he grabbed her hand to stop her rubbing despite how much he enjoyed it.

“As much as I would like to continue we should get dressed and get inside. I do not look forward to staying outside in the night cold and naked.”

Cynthia looked down at herself and nodded her head in agreement as goosebumps began to appear on her skin. While she was not as affected by the cold biting winds at night as a normal person, she didn't fancy staying outside in the cold and when Naruto said 'inside', she wasn't going to squander the opportunity to get inside some place warm to sleep. Plus she is in a new land; a place where no one has heard of a Claymore. They may have heard of the sword but not the warrior themselves.

Getting to their feet the two quickly gathered their clothing and dressed themselves. After she was dressed Cynthia walked to her sword, and pulled it free from the ground with no effort and with a flourish sheathed it over her shoulder. She turned to see if Naruto was finished dressing himself and saw him zipping up his jacket.

Walking over to the scroll that was used to summon Cynthia Naruto rolled it up and secured it under his armpit. He summoned a Shadow Clone and left him specific instructions to remove the barrier and security seal five minutes after he and Cynthia left the vicinity before dispelling.

“Shadow Clone?” Cynthia asked looking at the clone of Naruto with ch1ld like awe.

“Yeah. Basically the Shadow Clone Jutsu is a technique that lets the user split their chakra individually and make real live solid clones of themselves. Everything the clone learns the user learns once dispelled.”

“Are there any weaknesses?”

Naruto nodded. “Yeah, one glaring weakness is that it takes one good solid hit for the clone to dispel.” And that was all he was going to tell her. It wouldn't do if he told her what advantages and disadvantages the techniques brings to the user.

Cynthia was looking at the clone of Naruto in a new light. A technique like that is useful to learn and would be a boon to her sisters. She started to contemplate as she stared at the clone intently. A technique that lets the user to learn whatever the clone learnt, that would be useful for herself and the others in the Ghosts. They would be able to get much stronger that way! Maybe she could try and make a variation of it from her yoki?

“Is there a way for this... 'Shadow Clone Jutsu' to be created by using Yoki?” Cynthia asked as she and Naruto were now walking away from the training ground.

Naruto frowned a little at that. “I don't think so. From what I gathered chakra and yoki are two completely different things. Your body has been changed to generate yoki so techniques that use chakra maybe out of reach for you.”

“Oh.” Cynthia said a little disappointed. “That's a shame. A technique like that would have helped my friends out a lot.”

“Well I'm pretty sure you can develop a technique similar to it.”

“Oh? Care to explain what you mean by that?” Cynthia asked with an arched brow.

Naruto nodded not seeing the harm in expanding his thoughts. “You could try developing a technique that can transmit everything you learn to someone else. It is a two way process since you and someone else can learn at the same time. But unlike the Shadow Clone Jutsu, where you know what the clone knows instantly, you'd have to actually train yourself to do what you have learnt since you have never been able to do it yet. And since you have yoki instead of chakra, you could possibly link your yoki to someone else and transmit your memories to the target or receive memories in return.”

Cynthia contemplated on the design for a moment and deemed it doable, as it sounded similar to a technique she already knows: yoki synchronization.

Yoki Synchronization is when the user – Cynthia in this case – would analyse her target's yoki, and then align the wavelength of her yoki with the target's wavelength. The user and the target would then become connected. This would allow her to manipulate her target's aura in however manner she'd wish. Using this method she could transmit her memories to her target and receive memories in return.

As she mused silently to herself about Naruto's idea she silently followed the whisker faced teen, as he led her to his apartment complex. When Cynthia saw Konohagakure for the very first time, any doubts she had that she was no longer home was gone. There was a lot of technical advances she had never seen before. Electricity, being used to power buildings. Wires that conducted electricity connected from pole to houses. Street lights lighting up the streets. It was so foreign to her, and, it amazed her to no end.

Seeing the warrioress getting distracted by the sights with wide childlike eyes Naruto chuckled in amusement, and had to direct her manually seeing as she wasn't paying attention as to where she was going. By wrapping an arm under her sword and around her, he had been able to guide her while she looked around.

Thankfully for them both since it is well in to the evening everyone is inside their homes. So Naruto was able to take Cynthia to his apartment without any incident. Having to explain to his team mate Sakura who Cynthia is would be a pain given her over reactions to every little thing he does. And don't get him started on his mentor Kakashi.

Shaking his head from his thoughts Naruto opened the front door to his apartment and gestured for Cynthia to step inside. She smiled at him thankfully and went in with Naruto following. Closing the door the whisker face blonde turned and saw Cynthia surveying her new surroundings and taking an interest in things that were new to her.

Which was pretty much everything electrical, like the oven, and the television.

He had to explain to her what everything she pointed was and gave a basic description on what they did. After hearing the things they can do Cynthia wanted to try some of them out. She was rather enthusiastic about it too. Which Naruto found both amusing and endearing to see.

After being asked as to where she was going to sleep Naruto led her to his bedroom and Cynthia couldn't help but point out that there was only one bed. And Naruto couldn't help but think there was a bit of suggestiveness in her voice when she said that.

“I know.” Naruto began his response. “This is usually where I go to sleep; but since there is only one bed I decided that you are going to take the bed and I would take the couch.”

“Or...” Cynthia interjected suggestively, as she pulled her claymore sword out of its sheath on her back and placed the sword in a corner nearest to the bed. “...we both can take the bed. We did see each other naked after all...” She added, turning to face the blonde with a suggestive look on her face. She didn't have to include that they had sex either, since the mild blush on Naruto's face was a give away.

Naruto after a moment of thinking carefully about her decision to share beds decided to agree to her suggestion. They did see each other naked and had sex not too long ago. What was there to be embarrassed about? Exhaling through his nose Naruto, with a shake of his head, placed his summoning scroll next to the table on the left from his bed and sat down on the edge of his mattress. Smiling Cynthia walked over to him and as she wrapped her arms around around his neck she straddled his lap.

Having the female warrior straddling him Naruto automatically moved his hands along her body. Using one hand to move in soft, circular motion on her back giving Cynthia a slow massage; and with the other he wrapped around her waist in a comforting manner.

Cynthia enjoying the massage smiled and partially closed her eyes. She moved her arms that were wrapped around Naruto's neck down to his waist so she could lean in to rest her head on his shoulder. She nuzzled her head in the crook of his neck and let out a peaceful sigh.

If she had to describe what she was feeling at that moment, she would describe it as someone comforting her. Someone she felt safe with. Something she and every other women like her was sorely lacking, given the way they were taught and raised. It was refreshing to say the least.

Cynthia breathed peacefully as she adjusted her head to find a more comfortable position on the shoulder she was resting on. “This is nice. Very comforting.” She mumbled softly into his shoulder.

Naruto had to agree with her there. He was never held like this by someone before. He was always living by himself. When he was still living in the orphanage, before he was old enough to live by himself, he saw the matron of the place often comforting the other children but would always avoid him like the plague and would never know why. So he never received the comfort of someone hugging him.

Even worse he was socially impaired too, as the children of the orphanage would avoid him by the word of the matron. For the longest time he was there he had wondered what he had done wrong. But when he learnt he had the Nine-Tails sealed in him it made sense. There was a major pranking spree he had the orphanage suffer after he had made that discovery.

He never targeted the children though they had nothing to do with it. Only the people who worked there so he only targeted them.

“Yeah. It is comforting.” He said as his lips slowly spread to a soft smile and hugged her closer to him to which she tightened her arms around him in return. “You know since we're going to be sharing the same bed we can do this whenever we want?”

“I know.” Cynthia leaned back and stared Naruto in the eyes with a cheerful smile. “I'm looking forward to that.” She said honestly before she turned to look at the summoning scroll with a cunning look in her eyes. “Although I wouldn't mind seeing who else you can bring here.”

Naruto quirked an eyebrow and looked at the scroll thoughtfully. Now that she mentioned it, he was rather curious as to who else he could bring over here.
