Obsession For The Fox (Fem!Naruto x ROR!Gods) 18+

Showing Off

The Valkyries' eyes were glued to Naruko as the golden aura around her grew brighter. They had heard her words, but seeing her power firsthand promised to be another matter entirely. Even Brunhilde, who typically kept a stern and composed demeanor, couldn't hide her curiosity.

Naruko stepped back from the table and moved to a more open area in the dining hall, where she wouldn't risk damaging anything. She took a deep breath, centering herself, and the aura of Kurama's chakra intensified, swirling around her like a living flame.

"First, I'll show you the Shadow Clone Jutsu," she said, forming a quick series of hand signs. In an instant, several identical copies of Naruko appeared, each solid and full of energy. The Valkyries gasped, marveling at the perfect replicas.

"Whoa!" Thrud exclaimed, standing up to get a better look. "They're just like you!" She circled around the clones, searching for any flaws.

Naruko nodded, sending a couple of the clones to pick up objects around the room. They moved independently, demonstrating that they weren't mere illusions but real, tangible copies. When she dismissed them, they disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Naruko absorbed the experiences they had gathered.

"The Shadow Clones are incredibly versatile," Naruko explained. "They're perfect for multitasking, training, or even overwhelming an opponent."

Reginleif's eyes shone with excitement. "That's amazing! But what about your offensive techniques?"

Naruko grinned and held out her hand, gathering chakra into her palm. A swirling blue sphere began to form, growing denser and brighter with each passing moment. The Rasengan. The Valkyries watched, mesmerized, as the spinning orb pulsed with raw power.

"This is the Rasengan," Naruko said. "It's one of my most reliable attacks. But if you add elemental chakra, it can become even more devastating." She took a step back, letting the chakra in her palm shift and intensify. Wind chakra fused with the Rasengan, causing it to emit a high-pitched hum as sharp blades of wind began spinning within it.

"This is the Rasen Shuriken," she said, holding it up for the Valkyries to see. "It's one of my most powerful offensive moves."

The tension in the room was palpable as Naruko dissipated the attack, not wanting to unleash its destructive potential indoors. The Valkyries released the breaths they had been holding, clearly impressed.

Göndul tilted her head, a thoughtful expression on her face. "You mentioned a creature sealed within you. Kurama, was it? Can you show us the power you draw from him?"

Naruko hesitated for a moment. She rarely showed Kurama's power to strangers, but something about the genuine curiosity in the Valkyries' eyes made her feel at ease. She closed her eyes, reaching out to the familiar presence within her. Kurama's voice rumbled in her mind, a mixture of pride and caution.

"Show them what we can do," Kurama said, his tone carrying a hint of mischief. "But don't get too carried away."

Naruko grinned, feeling Kurama's power surge through her. She allowed his chakra to envelop her fully, transforming into the golden cloak of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Her appearance shifted—the aura sharpened around her body, fox-like markings appeared on her face, and nine translucent tails of energy swayed behind her. The sheer pressure of her chakra filled the room, causing the Valkyries to take a step back, their eyes wide with astonishment.

"This is the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode," Naruko said, her voice echoing with the combined energy of herself and Kurama. "With Kurama's chakra, my strength, speed, and senses are all amplified. I can even create chakra constructs for both offense and defense."

To demonstrate, she formed a massive chakra arm that extended from her back, reaching across the room and gently picking up a vase from a nearby shelf. The Valkyries watched, amazed, as the glowing limb moved with delicate precision. Naruko set the vase down and withdrew the chakra arm, letting it vanish back into the golden cloak.

Thrud's eyes sparkled with wonder. "You have such control over that energy! It's like nothing I've ever seen."

Naruko nodded, a small smile on her lips. "It wasn't easy. Kurama and I had a rocky relationship at first, but over time, we became partners. Now, I can use his power freely, without any fear of losing control."

Göll seemed especially captivated by the sight, her gaze fixed on Naruko's golden aura. "It's beautiful," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Your power... it's like watching a living star."

Naruko's expression softened at the compliment. She rarely thought of her chakra in such poetic terms. But she had more to show them.

"I mentioned before that I can sense negative emotions," she said, closing her eyes and focusing her chakra. "Let me show you."

She activated her sensory abilities, expanding her awareness to encompass the entire dining hall. She could feel the curiosity and wonder radiating from the Valkyries, but also a faint hint of anxiety—likely stemming from her overwhelming display of power. She opened her eyes, a knowing look in them.

"There's no need to worry," Naruko said reassuringly. "I'm not here to fight you. I just want to share what I can do."

Brunhilde's expression turned contemplative. "You said you have other forms of power as well. Could you demonstrate your Sage Mode?"

Naruko nodded and deactivated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, letting the golden aura fade. She shifted her stance and began drawing in the natural energy around her, feeling it blend with her own chakra. Her eyes turned a vivid orange with horizontal pupils, and her senses sharpened as she entered Sage Mode. A subtle, yet powerful energy surrounded her, distinct from the fiery presence of Kurama's chakra.

"This is Sage Mode," she said. "It's a state that enhances my physical abilities and gives me a deeper connection to the world around me. I can feel everything—the flow of energy, the life in the room, and even the smallest movements."

Alvitr, who seemed skeptical at first, was now completely enthralled. "You can draw power from the world itself?" she asked, her voice filled with awe.

Naruko nodded. "Yes, but it requires a lot of training and focus. If I'm not careful, I could turn to stone by absorbing too much natural energy. It's a delicate balance."

Brunhilde's gaze softened with respect. "You've come a long way to master such diverse and powerful techniques. It's clear you've faced many challenges to get to where you are."

Naruko smiled, feeling a sense of pride. "Yes, but every challenge has made me stronger. My journey wasn't easy, but I don't regret any of it. I've learned that power alone isn't what makes someone strong. It's the heart behind that power, the will to protect and the courage to keep moving forward."

The room fell silent, the weight of Naruko's words sinking in. The Valkyries understood the truth behind her statement: power without purpose was meaningless; it was the reason a great warrior fought that defined their strength.

"Thank you for showing us your abilities, Naruko," said Brunhilde. "But I think that's enough for today. You should eat before the food gets cold."
