Daylight, Tropical forest, Unknown world.
Running zigzags between trees's in front of him, whiskered-cheek blond seven years old boy Uzumaki Naruto evading his pursuer. Big red-furred wolf with pair small horn chasing him for interrupting the wolf hunt.
Few minute ago, dressed with gray t-shirt, dirty black vest with six's pair small scroll strap on it, and ragged gray-black camo pant, kunai and senbon pouch strapped on his hip, pair of tanto on his calf, and a kodachi strapped on his back, covered by small traveling bag. He stumbling upon small lake that being used by deer's and couple wild animal to drink, not knowing adult tiger-sized red-furred wolf with scar under the belly ready to pounce the deer that closest with him. Naruto appearance making the wild's running wild scattering from the lake, leaving blissfully ignorance boy and very hungry beast that unable to catch his prey.
Angry for the human child interruption, the wolf howling and strike the boy. Acting by his instinct, Naruto managed to evade and retreat to the wood's with angry wolf on his tail.
Present time, unable to evade the beast, in desperation move Naruto channeling small amount wind natured chakra to his right arm, and manage to do quick three hand-seal before stopping his track and swing his right arm to his pursuer.
Unable to comprehend his target action, the wolf seeing this as opportunity to attack. Lunged forward, claw's and fang poised toward the target. But, the attack meets empty air.
Landed, and once again the wolf readying itself to attack before his body cleaved clean in half from head to tail.
"Wind style: Wind blade." muttered Naruto evading spray of blood from his pursuer deactivated his technique and proceed to skin the wolf, taking his fur, fang and claw.
Two hour later, above one of big tree branch. Naruto sat dangling his feet and cleaning his kodachi. His mind drifted to event in three weeks ago.
Yeah, three weeks ago, that his new instructor throw him toward weird transportation method and drop him in the middle unknown tropical forest filled with many creatures that only founded in story book.
His first impression was high-tailed above nearest highest tree that lot found around, evading irate the said creature that almost bite his leg. According the tome that he acquired from his new instructor, the creature was identified as semi-adult Asian Green Basilisk snake.
Before searching safer place to hide and survive as the instructor noted that he will spend his time two months within the said forest.
FLASHBACK!
August, Seventh year after Kyuubi.
Naruto sat cross legged inside small dojo, in front of him several female few years older from him dressed miko (Shrine maiden) outfit and lone gray haired middle aged man dressed in black and blue priest robe sat in same manner.
"Eight month under my tutelage you prospered." said the man, "Harnessing and channeling KI and Chakra control, tree climbing, water walking, learning three element and one forbidden clone technique, basic shinobi skill, that composed from: Replacement, Transformation, Rope escape, Veil of invisibility, Clone, and Silent step, basic art of sealing, basic art of bladed weapon, basic hand-to-hand combat, basic anatomy and basic psychology."
"I never thought you will able to master those techniques to decent level." he said again before pulling several object from behind, pair black sheathed tanto, a white sheathed kodachi, black vest with several scroll slot and a traveling bag, earn more curiosity from the blond.
"This equipment is reward of your hard work." he saw joy on Naruto face, "But, in next place you will need more than your luck to survive." He finished his speech, letting Naruto to take the said equipment and prepared for his next level of training.
"I'm ready!" said Naruto eager to meet his trainer, only meet concealed laughter from the man before led him and another to small red toori (red colored shrine gate at Japanese temple) with massive seal array field surround it.
"Within your bag, I sealed several D-ranked to B-ranked jutsu in every element I know." Said the man guiding Naruto to stand under the Tori before make his way out from the array field.
"Take care yourself, kouhai!" shouted pig-tailed brunette of one female teenager that now forming eight barrier formation surrounding the seal field.
"Be careful, alright!" another girl calling. "What I heard about her is, vicious blood sucking immortal lady accompanied with dolls." She warns him.
"I will!" replied Naruto receiving small box with red gift wrapping from the man before he executing few hand-seal.
"Give it to her; it's her fee for your training!" that was last thing Naruto heard before red light enveloping entire seal field and feeling vertigo hit him.
"Chaos Portal: Crimson Emerald Castle Gate!"
"URgh…! Where am I…?" groaned Naruto tried to move his body.
He feel like thrown from swinger and hit solid wall, make his body ache all over. Shifting his body from current position, he saw long blond hair and green eyes that belong to fourteenths year old girl accompanied with adult sized green haired female puppet, he assumed because her face devoid any reaction, her ear pointed outward her green hair shaped antenna-like certain character at his first sensei book, and few joint on her arm and finger that not covered by frilly maid outfit are segmented.
"Oh… awaken already I see?" ask the smaller girl, seeing Naruto tried to sit from hard cold stone floor that covered with various seal array that few he recognized as ancient zodiac symbol from western continent.
"Welcome to McDowell Lebenheit castle." Taller girl greeted him, startling Naruto because her voice is monotone without emotion.
"…McDowell castle… did your name Evangeline?" ask Naruto to the taller girl. Tick mark appear on smaller girl, the taller girl merely shake her head and pointed toward smaller girl and introducing her to Naruto.
"My name is Chacamaru , personal maid of Evangeline Athanasia Katherina McDowell, the Undying Mage, Doll Master, master of this castle." (Yes, it's same Evangeline from Negima at her prime, after her curse lifted by Negi.)
Shock hearing her introduction, Naruto jumped, stand still at his spot before bowing his head.
"Uzumaki Naruto, student from Koku, Exiled Monk of Elemental countries." He said rummaging his vest pocket and pulling small red marked scroll and red wrapped box, and hand it toward smaller girl, Evangeline.
Tilting her head, Evangeline trying to remember the name that Naruto spoken before mentioned Chacamaru to take the scroll and the box from Naruto hand.
"…Koku…? Tall, middle-aged gray-haired man with black scaled dragon tattoo on his back?" ask Evangeline curious as identity of the boy teacher, she wondered if the same Koku that she know.
"Yes, it's him…" Naruto answered before continuing,"He said you will be my next teacher at elemental and physical art." But, seeing Evangeline facial feature Naruto immediately backing away from her.
"THAT BASTARD!"
Even Chacamaru stepped away, because she radiated dark aura that even make the Gynoid shaking and suddenly dropped because the energy that Evangeline radiated make electricity spark and freezing the floor around them radius 50 meters.
"FIRST… HE TOOK MY BLOOD SHARD…! AND …NOW… HE DARES TO BRIBE ME!"
Her rant stopped sensing high heat energy radiated from now unconscious Naruto, curious she let her energy down and surprised to see foreign energy taking shape and image of small crimson Nine Tailed Fox encircling the boy, shielding him from her energy overdrive.
Hour later, within Evangeline castle room.
Evangeline finishing her inspection toward Naruto, that still unconscious after gotten hit her combined magic and killing intent.
"Interesting." She whispered itself and takes a sip of her drink.
In front of her, human that imprisoned one of the Great Spirit that works under higher being than her. She has great understanding about seal work, as she often titled as seal and ward breaker at her past. But, the seal, which exist at the boy naval, impress her greatly.
The seal created using blood relative of the sealer and seal object, under category Eastern-Zodiac seal set that now almost extinct, powered by most darkest and vilest energy more than dark mage that she encountered in past, The Shinigami Energy, the letter from Koku informed her. The Dead Demon Imprisonment seal it named.
Eight Trigram suppression seal, Elephants suppression seal, and Element supportive seal to backing-up. Add more Youki suppressants seal that nullified harmful effect of corrosive demon energy, and another medical seal that convert the said demonic energy become healing effect that instantly work toward any wound or damage that the kid suffered enhancing the kid healing ability.
She was marveled, scratch that, she was floored in amazement of art sealing that exist on the boy naval to imprison high-class spirit like Kyuubi no Kitsune in front of her.
But, she knows more than that. The Youki suppression seal are doing more damage to the boy than intended, they stunted the boy growth. Youki from the Kyuubi are already filtered by other filter seal that she not recognized, and filtered Youki that become pure energy added toward the boy reserve that now growing larger each time, dwarfed energy reserve from magister magi itself. Most of the Youki suppressant already inactive or broken.
With simple finger flick, she broke the already broken Youki suppressant and frowned more to see more hidden seal that stunted the boy growth that also already in inactive states.
More think in the world that she hates than politician and Magister Magi Nagi Springfield, are who arrogant to abuse and stunted the children growth in any mean. She earned the Dark Evangel name for killing them, not innocent children that those idiots portraying about her victims.
Studying each seal carefully, she copied those seal into small blank scroll that she found inside the boy bag before removing them with extra delicate process. Simple mistake, the boy live screwed beyond her imagination.
Three hours later, sweating Evangeline and confused Chacamaru finished removing various seal that impeded Naruto, the boy name, growth physically and mentally within blank scroll. Seeing Naruto haven't awake yet, she ordered Chacamaru to throw him out in to the lake that half surround the castle.
Multiple curse and inappropriate word that make even Eva grinning like a loon for hear it storm out from irate blond boy mouth that slowly rose from center of the lake using his so called chakra to water walks on the lake surface.
"Prepare all your effort to survive!" ordered Eva toward wet irate Naruto at the lake shore, "Within this case your survival equipment has fixed and ready to use, along forest resident encyclopedia for your reverence." She throws the said case toward Naruto that still unprepared, make him falling in the lake again, luckily the part that he walks not too deep, ankle only.
"In his letter, he asks me to train your elemental affinity and physical art of self-defense that suitable to you." her tone was cold when she mentioned his previous instructor.
"Yes Ma'am!" he answered after landed on the sandy lake shore.
Simple answer from Naruto make small pride swell inside Eva chest, this newest disciple is good to adapt. And seeing his background from what she read on Koku letter that he live in place where age of assassin and mercenary still in boom.
"Let see what affinity you have…" she extended her delicate right hand in claw position, ring of magic formation shined below them and small orb of light shoot out from Naruto chest toward her.
Now shimmered above her hand, she inspected the orb. At first she waves her left palm above the orb, splitting single orb to several smaller orb in different color that indicate their element affinity.
Three biggest orbs in Transparent-white wind, White-yellow lightning, Blue water and in same size. Followed by twin Red and Blue fire, Brown earth, and smaller Black orb of darkness.
"Three affinity that almost second nature? This boy is having more promise than any disciple that trained under me." She muttered within her mind, and cursed why the boy not arrived earlier.
"What's that?" Naruto asked, fascinated to se orbs that hovered in front of them like normal child that see new toys.
"Affinity orb of yours." She answered, "You have affinity toward Wind, Water and lightning. Followed with secondary affinity toward Fire, Earth, and Darkness."
'Why there is two orb of fire?" he curiously ask seeing twin fire orb on his affinity.
"The Red one is normal human fire, and the Blue one is the Fire from your tenant."
"Kyuubi?"
"Yes, according folklore the fire of Kitsune tribe is blue fire, and only those that exiled from their clan have black fire." She explained, nodding toward Chachamaru that arrived bringing two flag with green forest insignia on them.
Stabbing the flag on the sandy shore, Chacamaru sent signal that the door ready to opened.
"Now… get ready to survive in my backyard." Eva said in glee, before tossing confusing Naruto toward the flag that immediately swallowing him before shrinking to nothing.
"Where in the nine hell she thrown me?" cured Naruto seeing that his surrounding has changed, from lake-shore near middle-aged castle to vast green tropical forest that he suspected more dangerous than normal forest.
