Disclamer: Don't own Naruto or Rosario + vampire
AN: I've raised graduation as ninja from twelve to 15 to make the ages more fitting. Other than that everything has happened in the same as in the Manga/Anime, though Naruto is more mature.
Tsunade was leaving the hospital after finishing checking on everyone that was send on the mission to retrieve Sasuke when an ANBU appeared before her.
Hokage-sama, there is a man at the gate that wishes to speak with you about a high paying mission" The ANBU said, "However his appearance is quite suspicious, so the guard are unwilling to let him past."
"Okay, let's go talk to him." Tsunade said.
They soon arrived at the gate to see a man in a white robe with sunglasses covering his eyes. Tsunade immediately understood the guards reluctance to let the man through; Hidden eyes, very weird clothing, dark skin that was uncommon in the land of fire and most of their allied countries (Land of wind excluded) and a creepy aura where not thing that would encourage trust.
"You wished to speak with me" Tsunade said as she walked up to the man.
"Yes, I have a mission for a ninja of your village. It is a long term mission, expected to last around three years at the very least." The man began. "I am willing to pay 2.000.000 ryo a month for the duration of the mission."
"Let us go to my office" Tsunade said leading the man into the village, while signaling the ANBU to follow them. As they were walking Tsunade said "I never asked you about your name"
"My name is Mikogami Tenmei" Mikogami said simply-
"And what exactly is the mission." Tsunade asked. At this point she knew that turning this mission down without a really good reason would be a bad idea, since it could give the village access to money that it really needed to rebuild.
"I am the headmaster of a special school" Mikogami explained "However this school has a lot of threat, both internally and externally, that makes it rather dangerous to attend. These threats have gotten worse the last couple of years, therefore I have come to the conclusion that something must be done. That is why I need a ninja to help me protect the school and the innocent among the students. And they should do this as part of the student body."
"So you need a ninja specialized in identifying a threat and eliminating it" Tsunade said thoughtfully, already going through the ninja's who she thought was best suited for this type of mission.
"I already know which ninja I want for this mission" Mikogami said. "A ninja I have heard about from multiple countries, good making friends and inspiring others to do better. The reason I am willing to pay that much is to get this specific ninja for the job."
"And who exactly is this ninja" Tsunade asked suspiciously, not liking where she thought this might be going.
"The Hero of Wave and Spring, Naruto Uzumaki" Mikogami said.
"The person you are asking for is only a genin, who is also scheduled to go on a training trip soon" Tsunade said "I am sure that we can find you another ninja who is better equipped for this type of mission" She continued.
"If you give me a scroll with the things you want him to learn on this training trip then I would be more than happy to arrange for someone to train him." Mikogami stated, "because of the placement of the school it would be complicated to bring anyone else there to train him, especially since we don't want any long term guest at the school, since it would distract all of the students from their study."
"Where is the school exactly, and what is it called?" Tsunade asked suspiciously.
"It is actually in a different dimension" Mikogami Stated, getting a raised eyebrow from Tsunade "How I am able to travel to other dimensions is classified" Mikogami added before Tsunade could even ask "and the school is called Yokai academy. If you want you can send someone with Naruto to the gate of the academy to ensure that he arrives safely" Mikogami then stated, trying to counter some of the other arguments that he knew Tsunade would come up with.
"That still doesn't assure us that you would not harm him once he enters" Tsunade said.
"Well, from what I understand the boy can summon toad, correct?" Mikogami asked.
"Yes though I fail to see how that is relevant in this connection." Tsunade said, annoyed.
"Simple, have him summon a toad once he arrives, then the toad can stay with him and if necessary get the other toads to reverse summon him if he finds out that it is a trap" Mikogami said, "Summons cannot be blocked out, so it gives him a escape route if needed."
"I will need to talk with Naruto and Jiraiya about this" Tsunade said "I'm going to have some ANBU escort you to a visitors room, stay there till I come to you with an answer" She then told him.
As Tsunade left her office she ran straight into Sakura, knocking the girl down.
"Lady Tsunade, I would like to speak with you" Sakura said after getting back to her feet.
"It will have to wait a little bit" Tsunade replied "Right now I need to see Naruto about something that has come up" She then walked past Sakura and out of the tower, going towards the hospital.
"What is it?" Sakura asked, slightly scared as she caught up.
"A long-term mission where he has been requested specifically" Tsunade answered.
Sakura frowned. "I know that Naruto is a good fighter, but why would someone request him specifically?" She asked.
"I can think of some, but most of them are not in Naruto's best interest" Tsunade said "The client claims that he has heard that Naruto is 'good making friends and inspiring others' which is apparently part of what he needs for this mission".
"What kind of ninja mission has those abilities as a requirement?" Sakura asked, confused.
"Apparently the well paying kind" Tsunade stated as they as they entered the hospital. "Though there are a lot of suspicious details about this mission, so right now I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to take the mission."
At that point they reached Naruto's room just as the sound of something heavy hitting the ground was heard from the outside of Naruto's window, causing them to hurry inside.
Before they had gotten a good look around the room, however, they heard Naruto.
"Ero-sennin?" He exclaimed loudly.
At that point Sakura and Tsunade saw that Jiraiya was sitting on a toad outside the window, while Naruto was leaning out of it to look at him.
"Step back so I can come in" Jiraiya said to Naruto, causing him to step back. Jiraiya then jumped in the window, only to be surprised at the presence of Tsunade and Sakura.
"So, why are you here" Jiraiya asked.
"Here to talk with Naruto about a mission request" Tsunade said "After that I intended to find you and ask your opinion on the mission, but seeing as you're here it makes it easier"
She then went on to explain what she had just heard.
"Well, it isn't Akatsuki, not only is it far too early, but it doesn't fit with their style" Jiraiya said "On the other hand, the whole dimensional travel seems rather farfetched. "
"Doesn't really matter, I don't have time for training or long-term mission right now anyway" Naruto said "We have to go after Sasuke now. Otherwise Orochimaru might kill him before we get to him"
"Sasuke will be safe for at least three more years, at the least" Jiraiya said, "I know that he can only use the immortality jutsu once every three years, and you slowed Sasuke down enough that he didn't arrive before Orochimaru needed to transfer to another body."
"How do you know?" Sakura asked.
"While my information network can't seem to pin down his location, they are still able to find out a lot of vital information" Jiraiya said simply. "Anyway to get back on topic; I had planned to use three years on training Naruto, but if he takes this mission I won't be allowed to do that."
"I am aware of that; however, if we can trust this guy, Konoha will gain some much needed funds to rebuild." Tsunade said. "Right now I need to know if we can safeguard him incase this is a trap. I also need to know whether he is willing to take the mission, even if it means going to school."
"I don't like it, but for to help the village I will need to do this" Naruto said "But I need to get a promise from this guy that I can come back here in 2 and ½ years, so that I can rescue Sasuke, since I don't want to be too late"
"We will ask him whether that is acceptable." Tsunade said "If not we will have to decline the mission. What about safeguards"
"Well, we have the safeguard that the guy proposed himself" Jiraiya said. "If we could add some Flying Thunder God seals to Naruto and the toad, and one to be placed somewhere on school grounds we will have additional ways to get to him if they have a way to block out normal summoning"
"That is a good idea" Tsunade said "I'll also get Genma to make a scroll on how to do the technique, maybe Naruto can somehow manage to learn how to do it alone, unlike them."
"Oh yeah, he needs all the help he can get, since his support will be some way of." Jiraiya said 'Good one Tsunade, this way we can give him this technique without anyone asking why he was given it. Since he won't be training it anywhere other elemental nations can observe it we won't have to worry about them interfering with it either' he thought to himself. "And even though he hasn't quite reached the age where I would deem it safe, we should teach him the secret of shadow clones."
"Secret of shadow clones?" Naruto asked.
"Try making a shadow clone now" Jiraiya said and Naruto did as he was told. Jiraiya made one as well. "Now follow me" Jiraiya's clone told the Naruto's clone.
They left the room and a moment later a look anger entered Naruto's face "I will not give up on Sasuke" He yelled at Jiraiya. Then his expression became confusion "How do I know that you want me to give up on saving Sasuke?"
"That is the ability of shadow clones" Jiraiya said "Anything they learn get's transferred back to the original. In other words they can be used to speed up training, excluding physical training of course."
"Wow, that's brilliant." Naruto said, "but what did you mean when you said that I hadn't reached the age where it was safe".
"Along with the experience it also transfers the mental exhaustion, which is greater in training then in a fight because you are focused on learning rather than just surviving." Jiraiya began "Until a certain age it can theoretically cause brain-damage, though it has never actually been proven."
"Ok, so I should probably start out slow" Naruto said thoughtfully. "Anyway, are there any other safeguards or training methods we need before we accept the mission."
"Except for giving you the basics of breaking a genjutsu I can't think of anything else" Jiraiya said.
"I wish we had more, or could send more people on the mission, but you do have more safeguards then most do on their missions" Tsunade said "It will take us a couple of days to get everything ready, so hopefully he isn't expecting you to go with him today." She added before she left to meet with Mikogami.
Mikogami had given them two weeks to prepare, though he had asked that they allowed one of his people to come by the village and teach Naruto the basics about the technology that was common in his dimension.
He had also agreed that Naruto would be allowed to come back to rescue his friend after 2½ years, though if he hadn't completed his purpose at that point it would have to be a school trip rather than him actually going home to Konoha.
Tsunade and Jiraiya had agreed to keep the mission as secret as they could, meaning that to most in the village Naruto would be going on a training trip with Jiraiya and not on a mission. Sakura and Kakashi where some of the few people that knew the truth, and they had promised not to tell anyone else.
Naruto was sitting with Iruka at Ichiraku ramen. It was the day he was to leave on his mission, so he wanted one more talk with Iruka and one more meal at the ramen stand before he would have to be without for three years.
"So, you're going on a long trip then" Iruka asked him.
"Yeah" Naruto replied 'Longer than most would think possible' he added in his head.
Just then Jiraiya arrived. "Let's get going" He said as he lifted a flap of the stand.
"Right" Naruto said while turning in his seat. He then got up and walked up to Jiraiya. He then turned back to Iruka "I'm of Iruka-sensei" He said with a smile "The ramen is a present for my success" He added as he left.
"Really" Iruka said, amused.
As Naruto was walking down the street towards with Jiraiya he turned and looked back at the monument, more specifically the fourth Hokage.
He raised his hand towards it. "Watch me" He stated before balling up his hand.
"What are you doing" Jiraiya said "Let's go Naruto"
"Alright, alright" Naruto yelled, quickly running after Jiraiya.
Two day later the two of them arrived on a small mountain top. The top of the mountain was almost completely flat but had a lot of trees growing around the edges, making it a good hiding spot. Near the middle of the mountain was a weird sign with a pumpkin on top.
"So this is the place where we're supposed to be picked up then?" Naruto asked.
"It would seem like it" Jiraiya said, while inclining his head towards the sign.
"So, how long till they get here?" Naruto then asked.
"hmm, about two hours according to our agreement" Jiraiya answered.
Just then a weird distortion happened between a couple of trees to the right of the sign, from which a large yellow vehicle appeared, causing Jiraiya to try and dispel a genjutsu.
"What is that" He asked after he failed to dispel it.
"If I remember my correctly, I think it's a bus" Naruto said, thinking back on the lessons he received "Basically a vehicle made to transport lazy people from one place to another."
"The lazy part isn't really a nice thing to say" The driver of the bus said out of the window. "Just because we don't have a lot of people who can travel at high speeds on their own, doesn't mean that they are lazy."
"Whatever" Naruto said, not really feeling like arguing over it.
"Anyway since we are all here we might as well leave early" The bus-driver said out the window.
"Might as well" Jiraiya agreed, "but how do we get in there without breaking the windows?" He then asked.
"There's a door on the other side, I'll open it for you" The driver said simply.
"Okay" Jiraiya said.
Naruto and Jiraiya quickly walked around and onto the bus.
"Just take a seat and we'll be off" The driver said. Like the headmaster his eyes where hidden by sunglasses.
The two passengers quickly sat down. They again saw a distortion between the threes, though this was in front of the bus so it wasn't the same distortion that it arrived through. After the bus drove through it they suddenly found themselves in a tunnel, driving on what Naruto indentified as an asphalt road.
"We'll be there in a couple of minutes" The driver told them.
"I thought that traveling through dimensions would take longer" Jiraiya said.
"For most it does, unless markers have been placed." The bus driver states "It can take anywhere from ten minutes to five days depending on how far apart the dimensions are. Before we placed a marker in your world it took around 2 days to travel there"
"But after you have a marker the travel is almost instant?" Jiraiya asked.
"It is instant, the only thing that takes time is insuring not to hit anything when you arrive on the other side." The bus driver said as they left the tunnel.
A moment later the bus came to a stop near a scarecrow and a dead tree filled with crows. In the distance what looked like a haunted mansion could be seen.
"That doesn't look like a school" Jiraiya said suspiciously.
"Looks can be deceiving" The bus driver stated. "A special school which is why we need a ninja in the first place, but a school none the less".
"I better summon Gamakichi as we agreed." Naruto said as he got off the bus. He quickly went through the hand seals and yelled "Summoning no jutsu".
A moment later Gamakichi was sitting on the ground in front of him.
"Yo" He said "I didn't expect to be summoned this early".
"Both us and the driver arrived early so we just left early" Naruto explained. "Are you ready for this?"
"Yep, got everything I need." Gamakichi replied "So let's get to it."
"Summoning works so we should be fine" Naruto told Jiraiya who was standing in the doorway of the bus.
"Okay, if nothing happens I will see you in 2 and ½ years" Jiraiya said. "Send a toad if you need anything."
"I will" Naruto said as he started walking up the path to the school. Once he was out of sight he quickly jumped into the woods beside the path and found a clearing. He then told Gamakichi "Okay this is a good spot, place the Flying Thunder God seal here. While you do that I'll change into my school clothes."
He then quickly pulled his (slightly modified) school clothing out of his bag; black pants, green jacket, orange shirt and orange tie (Mikogami hadn't minded the changes as long as the jacket and pants where the school prescribed ones).
The biggest problem for Naruto was that when he was in class he wasn't allowed to wear his forehead protector, but had agreed to it as long as he was allowed to have it on for everything else.
After he was done with the change he looked at Gamakichi who had just finished putting the seal on an average size stone that was placed slightly to the left of off the center of the clearing.
After that he returned to the path and started walking towards the school again. Shortly thereafter he felt a presence behind him and heard a bell of some kind.
"Coming through" a girl on a bike yelled at him.
He quickly sidestepped the bike but grabbed the girl around the stomach, forcing her to stop.
"Thank you" The girl said "I got dizzy from my anemia"
"I don't really know what anemia is" Naruto admitted "I just stopped you because either you where aiming to hit me or you had trouble controlling your bike, neither of which would be…" At this point Naruto finally took a good look at the girl. She had pink hair and green eyes just like Sakura, but that was the only similarities he could see between the two. This girl was definitely prettier then Sakura. These observations had caused him to pause his explanation, but he quickly went on "…good".
Then he noticed that the arm he'd wrapped around her stomach had slid up slightly and was now touching the underside of her breasts. This caused him to develop a slight nosebleed.
"Oh no", blood the girl exclaimed, quickly pulling out a handkerchief and started to wipe the blood. Suddenly her eyes gained a faraway look and she started leaning into him "The scent of … blood, I...I lose control when I smell that scent" She said "I'm sorry... but it's just cause... I'm a vampire"
She then bit his neck, which caused him to stumble backwards slightly, though not enough to dislodge her.
'Vampire' Naruto thought 'either this is an asylum or they Mikogami had left out an important detail in his mission description, and Naruto had the feeling it was the latter.
Naruto lightly pushed the girl and said "umm, could you stop doing that" He asked. He didn't want to start a confrontation if he could avoid it, at least until he got more details from the headmaster.
The girl extracted herself, somehow healing the wound as she did so (had he tried and force her of he was quite sure that the healing wouldn't have happened).
"I'm sorry. I'm Moka Akashiya" Moka introduced herself "Although I look like this I'm a vampire".
"By vampire you mean those monsters that suck blood and dislike garlic, right" Naruto asked.
"Yes" Moka said "Thank you so much for the threat, your blood is yummy."
"Umm, you're welcome, I guess" Naruto said. "Anyway I need to get to the school." He then start walking
"Me to, let's walk together" Moka said pulling her bike along as she pulls up beside him. "So, do you hate vampires?"
"Since you are the first vampire I've meet I have no reason to hate them, so no I don't hate vampires" Naruto said.
"That's great! Then, if you're okay with me, please be my friend" Moka said with a big smile "I was feeling lonely since I don't know anyone here."
"Oh yeah, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, pleased to meet you" Naruto said, remembering that he hadn't told her his name.
"I'm very pleased to meet you" Moka said "After the entrance ceremony please talk with me some more."
"So, he already made a new friend" Mikogami said to himself as he looked out his window and saw Naruto walk with Moka towards the school. "That is a good start, hopefully it will keep him from retreating. Then again he would have probably stayed anyway, he isn't the cowardly type".
Later Naruto arrived in his homeroom class alone, having been split from Moka during the entrance ceremony. He wasn't even sure whether he would actually be in the same class as her, now that he thought about it. Soon the rest of the class arrived closely followed by the teacher. The teacher was an attractive woman that had blond hair with black tips. Her hairstyle looks weird with two bangs protruding in a way that looked almost like cat ears. Her clothing seemed rather informal for a teacher while her glasses looked more like something a librarian would wear.
"Hallo everyone and welcome to Yokai academy. I am your home room teacher; Shizuka Nekonome" Began Shizuka. "I think you already know this but this is a school build for monsters to attend."
'Okay, that's kind of an important thing to mention when you give a mission, but for now I'll reserve judgment till I've talked with Mikogami.' Naruto thought as the teacher went on to explain how monsters needed to learn to blend in with humans and how they weren't allowed to tell others their true form.
"Hey teacher" A boy yelled "Would it not be better for us to eat up those puny humans. And in case of the beautiful girl, better to molest them"
'If I'm supposed to protect that guy I think I'll quit" Naruto thought in anger.
"Incidentally, here at Yokai academy, the student and teachers are all monsters. There are no genuine humans here" Shizuka said "Since this academy is within a secret sacred world, to those humans that come to know of our existence we shall bring death or something…"
'Really need to speak with Mikogami, since I really don't want to be put to death for being human' Naruto thought.
Just then the door opened "Excuse me, after the entrance ceremony I kinda got lost in the school" The new arrival said "Sorry I'm late".
Naruto looked at the door to see that the new arrival was Moka.
"Well that's fine, just take a seat" Shizuka said "Well, what a cute one" she added, though most didn't hear her.
As Moka moved to take a seat multiple males in the class started yelling, either compliments about her beauty or about things they wanted to do with/to her. Naruto simply waved at her which drew her attention to him.
"Huh? Naruto?" She asked when she saw him, and then she jumped at him "It's Naruto. We're in the same class." She yelled happily.
As Moka was hugging him Naruto felt a lot of killing intent directed at him from the males in the class (and a couple of females), though he ignored it.
After class Moka pulled Naruto with her through the halls, making sure he stayed by her side. This lead to even more killing intent to be aimed at Naruto, but again he ignored it, at least until one of them stood in front of them and said;
"Hmm, such a pretty one" Naruto immediately recognized him as the guy who talked about molesting girls. The boy went on "You are called Moka Akashiya are you not?" He asked while looking at Moka, who nodded slightly while stepping slightly behind Naruto. "I am your classmate Saizou Komiya. Salutations".
He then grabbed Naruto by the collar and lifted him up. Naruto was not prepared for something like that to happen in the middle of the hall, which was why he didn't block or evade the grab.
"By the way" Saizou continued "Why is a beautiful lady like yourself associating with a guy like th-oww." His question was cut off when Naruto drove his elbow into Saizou's arm, forcing him to let go.
"Don't just randomly grab people just because you have the strength to do so" Naruto said. He then turned to Moka "Did you want to talk to this guy, or should we continue exploring?"
Saizou came up behind him and again tried to grab him (this time by the neck) but this time Naruto was prepared and took a step back, spun around and kicked Saizou in the stomach causing him to double over.
"I told you to stop grabbing me" Naruto said. "Sorry I had to do that in front of you Moka" He said as he once again turned to Moka.
"It's alright, Naruto, let's just get out of here before he tries to do it again" Moka said. While she didn't exactly like that Naruto fought she understood that he was only reacting to Saizou's actions.
After putting some distance between themselves and Saizou they came to a stop.
"That was kinda scary, but most of it happened to you so how are you taking it?" Moka asked him.
"I've been in a lot of other situations that have been much more terrifying." Naruto stated. 'I need to speak with the headmaster soon, but I don't want to leave Moka alone after what just happened. I'll explore the ground with her until she's tired and wants to go to her room and then go see the headmaster' He thought to himself.
They then spent some time walking around the school. Naruto learned that vampire's like tomato juice, though Moka took her time to tell him just how much better his blood was, which made him wonder whether one of his primary functions was food-source rather than friend, though he decided to avoid that train of thought for now..
Shortly after that they arrived at the dorms. The fact that it had a large number of tombstones out front and seemed rather gloomy made it less then appealing to Naruto.
"So cool" Moka said from beside him. "such a building full of dignity and character".
"It isn't exactly my taste, but I guess I can live with it" Naruto responded.
"Oh, you don't like it Naruto? Even though you're a monster?" Moka asked "speaking of which, what type of monster are you?"
'I should at least talk to the headmaster before sharing my secret with her, but how do I buy time' Naruto thought.
Luckily before he could come up with an answer Moka spoke again "Oh, letting your true form out is against the school rules isn't it? Sorry, I didn't mean to ask that question."
"That reminds me" Naruto said, "You said that you where a vampire, but you seem so human like compared to some of our classmates."
"While I look pretty human right now, that is actually due to this" Moka answered pulling the collar of her shirt apart to show him a cross that was in a chain around her neck. "If I take the Rosario of I become an evil and scary vampire"
'I have a hard time believing that she will suddenly become evil by taking it off, but the scary part might be true.' Naruto thought, though he decided not to speak it out loud.
"Rosaries have the effect of sealing of a vampire's power" Moka explained "Since in my original form I was hated and caused conflict I put this Rosario on myself so I'd keep my vampire powers sealed."
'Causing conflict just because of what you are' Naruto thought 'That just isn't right, I think I'll stay here even if only to help protect Moka. I still need to talk with the headmaster, though'.
"Oh, but even if our power is sealed we do still end up craving blood" Moka said as she started leaning into him "My we…"
Her sentence as well as her descent towards Naruto's neck was cut off when he placed a hand on her mouth.
"I don't mind you drinking some of my blood, but you have to ask politely first" Naruto said "And if I say that no you have to respect that to. I'll probably only say no if I'm feeling that I'm getting light headed from blood loss anyway."
"Okay, May I please have some blood?" Moka asked.
"Okay" Naruto said, leaning his head to the side for easy access.
"Thank you" Moka said as she leaned in.
After she had spent half a minute drinking his blood Naruto said "Okay, I think that's enough for now"
Moka slowly stopped drinking and withdrew from him, though part of her was telling her to keep going just a little bit longer.
"Thanks for the treat" Moka said happily.
"You're welcome." Naruto said "Anyway, do you have anything more you want to see, or are you heading off to bed".
"I think I'll be off to my room" Moka said "Unless You have something more you want to see?" She added.
"I think that I've explored the school grounds enough for today" Naruto said 'Finding out where the headmaster is in order to speak with him doesn't count as exploring' Naruto thought to himself.
"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow, okay" Moka said.
"Definitely" Naruto replied with a smile.
It took him almost an hour to find the headmaster's office.
"Ahh, I thought I might see you here soon" Mikogami said when he saw Naruto enter with Gamakichi (who had been hiding in Naruto's bag all day) sitting on his shoulder.
"Seems you didn't give all the necessary information when you gave me the mission." Naruto stated.
"I did leave out some details, but I did give the important information" Mikogami stated "I did state that it was a special school that is rather dangerous to attend. I also stated that there where internal threats to deal with".
"You just left out the whole monster part" Naruto stated, "And that if it was found out that I was a human that I would be killed."
"In many ways you are more closely connected with witches and wizards then normal humans, so arguably you are a boundary monster rather than a human, at least per our definition." Mikogami explained "Apart from that you are also a jinchuriki which connects you even more with monsters. Our dimension has a Kyubi as well, though ours is a monster rather than a demon."
"Even if those technicalities hold, I still see myself as a human" Naruto said.
"How you see yourself is irrelevant in regards to the school rules" Mikogami stated "according to the rules I can define Ninja as a type of monster, and that is all that matters."
"Okay, now can you give me some better insight into my mission?" Naruto asked.
"Your mission is to protect the innocent students." Mikogami stated, "In other words those that don't kill or rape their fellow students."
"Wouldn't it be better to have some other monsters do that?" Naruto asked.
"I have already tried that, but let's just say that it isn't working." Mikogami stated. "Now, back to your mission; You're to protect innocent student, however I don't expect you to be all over the school. Even if you only protect one student from the dangers they face it would be enough for me to see it as you doing your job. Your friend Moka, for example, is likely to be a prime target in this school, both for her looks and for what she is, so protecting her would likely lead you to protecting the school as a whole. I do expect you to react to major incidents at the school, but if none of those happen you are to just be a normal student".
'Why do I get the feeling that he actually only hired me to protect Moka' Naruto thought 'Nah, it would have made more sense to simply make her protection the mission.'
"So basically I'm supposed to be a normal student, mostly, protect the people I hang out with and try and protect the school as a whole if something major happens".
"Precisely" Mikogami stated "You are not given any special authority and your connection with me should be kept a secret if possible. I will make sure that your part of the mission pay is sent to you in our currency, but I will make it look like it comes from someone else."
"Okay, then I better leave" Naruto said.
"One more thing" Mikogami said "I promised that I would provide trainers for you if you need them, but I was never told what you needed training in."
"Oh, right, I haven't opened the training scroll yet." Naruto said quickly opening his bag and pulling out a scroll and began reading aloud (and commenting on the different points). "Let's see; 'Practice breaking genjutsu.' So I'll definitely need to have someone here who can put me under one. 'Get your chakra under control' Couldn't they at least give me ways to do that. 'While your taijutsu stance works, it is pretty much a brawler style. You will find some taijutsu scrolls enclosed at the bottom, find one that suits you'. I will probably need a sparring partner once I've gone through the scrolls. 'Work on your speed.' Don't know what more I can do to improve my speed, but maybe something will come to me. 'Read the 'Complete the rasengan' Scroll' Okay, that's probably something I need to do alone. 'Read the 'Flying thunder god' scroll' Again individual. That seems to be it, I had kinda hoped for more." Naruto concluded.
"Well, I will try and find someone to help you with breaking genjutsu, chakra control and speed." Mikogami said thoughtfully.
"You forgot someone to spar against." Naruto said.
"Ah yes" Mikogami said with a creepy smile, "You will need someone to fight with."
"Well, I better be of" Naruto said quickly, not really wanting to be there anymore. It only got worse when Mikogami removed the sunglasses and revealed a pair of glowing eyes. "Need to be rested for school tomorrow."
"Yes, you do" Mikogami said "Enjoy your time at Yokai academy, and good night."
"Goodnight" Naruto said and left.
"That guy was beyond creepy" Gamakichi stated after they left the room "Do you need to be extracted?"
"No, at this point the only thing he did was leave out a detail, and that detail wouldn't even have changed the rank of the mission, so pulling out would be bad for Konoha's reputation." Naruto stated "The extraction was meant to be encase this was a trap to get me killed, which I don't think it is"
"Still, a school of monsters, are you sure it's a good idea to stay here." Gamakichi argued.
"Maybe not, but he told me that Moka might become a target, so I want to protect her." Naruto stated "And hopefully my experience here will make me stronger"
"Okay, but remember to call if you need to get out" Gamakichi stated "I better return and report what's going on to Jiraiya and the others, remember to summon a guard toad before you go to bed"
"I will" Naruto said and Gamakichi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The next morning Naruto was walking towards school at a slow pace, wanting to give Moka a chance to catch up (He didn't know whether she had already gone to class, which was why he didn't just wait at the dorms).
"Wait up, loverboy" A voice suddenly sounded from his right.
He turned to see Saizou quickly approaching and grabbing for his tie. Naruto quickly jumped back, avoiding the hand.
"You really suck at listening, I told you yesterday to stop trying to grab me." Naruto said "Now what to you want."
Naruto, however, wasn't prepared for Saizou's arm suddenly growing large and nailing him to the wall. He was pinned to the wall in a way that didn't allow him to bring his arms together and as a consequence couldn't use any jutsu to escape
"It looks like you had a lot of fun with Moka Akashiya yesterday, and you're gonna pay for it today." Saizou yelled. "I want to know your true form"
"As if the likes of you deserve to know my true form" Naruto responded.
Saizou let go of Naruto and hit the wall over his head with his other hand, causing the wall to crumple. Naruto stepped forward and kicked Saizou stomach like he did the day before, only this time he didn't budge and instead hit Naruto back into the wall, next to the hole.
"Don't go near Moka again" Saizou said as he walked away. "If you…"
He was cut off when three Naruto's suddenly kicked him from bellow, followed by some more Naruto's kicking him even higher. Then another Naruto appeared above him and kicked him in the stomach sending him to the ground. Saizou, assuming the 'multiple Narutos' was just an illusion, quickly turned his arm and hand big again and hit the airborne Naruto and sent him into a three. He then stood up.
"This is your only warning" He said as he left.
Naruto was just getting back up when Moka turned up.
"Naruto, what happened to you?" She asked, seeing that Naruto had blood on his lips and a slightly swelling eye.
"Saizou" Naruto said simply, then he noticed Moka had started leaning into him causing him to once again put his hand in front of her mouth. "We talked about this yesterday."
"Sorry, it's just my instincts tell me to just take it." Moka said embarrassed "May I please have some blood."
"Okay, but only a quick drink, I need a clear head in class." Naruto said.
Moka quickly leaned in and sucked a small amount of blood from him.
"Thanks for the treat" She said after she withdrew.
"You're welcome." Naruto said "Anyway, let's get to class."
As they were walking towards the school Naruto decided that he wanted Moka to know what he was, though first he wanted to feel out her thoughts on the matter.
"Hey Moka, what do you think of humans?" He asked her.
"I hate humans" Moka stated fiercely, surprising Naruto. Then, with a sad face she continued "I used to go to a human school up through middle school. I was so isolated. No one believed in monsters so I started thinking I was weird. That I was different from everybody and that it would be better if I wasn't there, if I just disappeared. It was so though." Then Moka suddenly began smiling "but you said it was all right even though you found out that I'm a vampire so … This has been the first time in my life that I haven't felt alone."
At that point they had stopped walking and Naruto just looked sadly at Moka.
"You know, it's sad" Naruto said "Even if I'm might be considered either a superhero or a monster by the humans you know, and even some of the humans I know, one fact remain; From my point of view, I am one of the few things you hate; a human."
Moka gad a look of complete shock on her face. "No… There's no way a human could be here… and you seem so strong"
"While, according to the school rules I could be considered a boundary being, to me I am a human" Naruto stated. "Anyway, I can see from the look on your face that you'd rather not be near me, so I'll be of"
He then ran off at high speed. The moment she got over her shock she started running after him, but soon gave up as she had lost sight of him. She then started pacing back and fourth.
"Oh no. Even though I finally made a friend" She said to herself with tears in her eyes "Even though it was the first time in my life that I thought I had a friend…"
Her musings where cut short when someone grabbed her hand. "Hey, why is it that you're alone"
"Saizou" Moka exclaimed, frightened by his sudden appearance.
"You shouldn't be lonely, Moka Akashiya, when you can be with a man like me." Saizou said before liking his upper lip. He then threw her against a nearby tombstone and took of his jacket. He then laughed to himself before saying "I am serious; your beauty is incomparable to any of those puny human girls that I've molested. I want you in all seriousness Moka Akashiya."
Then Saizou started transforming, is body becoming bigger along with his muscles. His tongue lengthened and his hands became more claw-like.
"Sai-Saizou" Moka said in a terrified voice as she witnessed this.
"Arrg. I can't stop myself when I feel like this; when my body starts to ache" Saizou exclaimed. "When I come to this point, there is no stopping me… I just can't stay in human form anymore."
"No" Moka said "Some save me" She said a little louder. Then, as Saizou stepped closer to her she screamed "Naruto".
"Rasengan" Naruto yelled when he appeared behind Saizou with a spinning ball of chakra and drove it into the back of Saizou's head, forcing him face first into the ground. "Sorry I'm late Moka." He said to Moka as he landed in front of her.
"Naruto, you came back" Moka said happily.
"Of cause I did. Even if you hate me for what I am, you're still precious to me" Naruto said "And I always protect my precious people with everything I've got"
Just then Saizou started getting back up, his face contorted in a menacing expression. "You think you can actually protect her from me." He yelled. "Don't make me laugh. You won't stand a chance"
Saizou then swung his arm at Naruto, sending him into a tree, only for him to turn into a log. Then a bunch of kunai flew from a tree opposite from the log, but most got blocked by Saizou's arm, though a couple embedded themselves in his legs. As Saizou turned to attack the one who threw them Naruto ran out from the trees behind him with a rasengan, intending to once more hit him, however Saizou continued his turning motion and put out his hand sending Naruto to the side and causing his rasengan to dissipate. Naruto managed to right himself and landed on his feet sliding back, with his hands slightly extended to the side, right past Moka. He felt something tangle into his hand and looked down to see Moka's Rosario. The next moment he felt an overwhelming presence and looked at Moka to see her hair becoming silver, her eyes became red and her fangs extended. The most striking difference, however, was the expression on her face; Instead of the sweet and innocent look he was use to it had become amused, confident and slightly sadistic. Saizou had frozen up when he felt the presence and saw the change.
"What's wrong, rogue one?" Moka asked in a mocking tone "You want me, right? Just try and take me… by force" She held out her hand towards him. "Won't you?"
This did it, Saizou tried to rush her with his hand extended, however Moka stopped him with just one hand.
"Attacking me with just this degree of power?" Moka asked. She then pulled back her leg. "You should know your place" She then kicked him in the face, sending him flying along with breaking several of his teeth. "A low class monster like you who has nothing to show for his size doesn't even make for a decent opponent in a contest of strength."
'That was some impressive strength' Naruto thought to himself 'My rasengan barely left a mark, yet she managed to leave an imprint on his face with a normal, albeit powerful, kick. The whole change of personality worries me, though.'
"What's wrong? Are you scared… of this me?" Moka asked.
"I think impressed is a better word for it" Naruto stated, surprising Moka. "Could you tell me about your training techniques? Since I need to become stronger to protect those precious to me, it would be very helpful to me."
"Since I learned to fight from my parents I haven't had the need to train, since vampires are naturally strong." Moka said simply.
"But surely there are other strong monsters out there, so you should train to become stronger" Naruto said "Thinking that you are strong enough to get by without training will just allow others to surpass you."
"I will make you a deal, if you ever remove the Rosario to take care of an easy fight, or for no fight at all, I will fight with you and if you manage to cut or bruise me I will start training, both myself and you" Moka stated. "However you had better show some improvements between each fight or I will make you unable to fight for a year."
"Okay, you've got a deal." Naruto said.
"Meanwhile, take care of the sentimental Moka." Moka said as she took the Rosario from Naruto and put it back on the chain.
Once she turned back into the pink-haired Moka she immediately started collapsing, so Naruto quickly scoped her up and started walking towards the dorms. As they were halfway there Moka woke up and smiled at him.
"Thanks for protecting me" She said.
"As long as I am here I will do my best to protect you" Naruto said, also smiling, "Even if you hate me for what I am."
"I don't hate you, because you are unlike any human I've meet before." Moka said with another smile. "How did you make that weird ball you used on Saizou" She added.
"I come from a different dimension, one where instead of technology we have focused on using the body's energies" Naruto said, remembering one of the lessons he had gotten in connection with attending Yokai academy. "Humans who use these energies are mostly known as ninja, though samurais also use a variation of it. I'm one of those ninja and that ball was made by focusing my body's chakra into my hand and rotating it."
"Wow, that sounds cool" Moka said in fascination. "So if you are from another dimension, how did you end up here?"
"As much as I would like to tell you, I'm not allowed to." Naruto said. He noticed that Moka seemed to have some of her energy back so he put her down on her feet.
"Why not?" Moka asked with a frown, though whether from him keeping secrets, putting her down or both he didn't know.
"Telling you could have a negative effect on the reputation of the village I come from" Naruto said. "And my village needs its reputation."
It wasn't a lie, since part of the mission was that he couldn't be connected with his employer, so if he told Moka, Mikogami might feel that it went against the mission and spread it as a story around the elemental nations that would make Konoha seem untrustworthy. While the changes of this happening wasn't that large, he choice not to take the risk.
"Oh, okay" Moka said.
At this point they had reached the dorm.
"I know we should probably go to class, but after that fight I don't really have the energy" Naruto told Moka. "I'm going in to take a nap, but maybe we can meet later and go to the afternoon classes."
"That sounds good, I'll see you then".
The next day Naruto was once again walking slowly towards the school when he heard the boys around him talking about how pretty Moka was and he turned around just as Moka glomped him.
"Morning Naruto" she said, over the voices of disbelief that sounded from the crowd.
"Morning Moka" Naruto responded, ignoring the killing intend coming from the people around them.
"Naruto, I think it must be lonely to be the only human, but…" Moka began "I'll be there for you. If there's anything I can do, let me know, ok?"
"Same to you, except the part about only human" Naruto said with a smile. "And thank you for the thought."
"Nothing you need to thank me for." Moka said with a smile. "I do it because I…I…I" She stopped and started learning in. "Oh no, every time I'm with you I just…" Moka was interrupted when Naruto covered her mouth with his hand.
"You know that you have to ask first." Naruto stated.
"Sorry, I don't know why it's so hard to do that." Moka said "Can I please have some blood?"
"A little, but not too much, I need my head to be clear for today's lessons." Naruto said, as he exposed his neck to her.
Moka quickly leaned in and took a sip to drink. "Thanks for the treat" She said after she was done. "Your blood is really the yummiest, Naruto. I think I'm going to get addicted to you"
'Not sure whether to take that as a compliment or her seeing me as food, but I'll go with the former for now.' Naruto thought to himself. Then he thought of something else. 'I really need to get started on my training, but I haven't heard anything from the headmaster about my trainers yet. Maybe I can train some of the other things for a while, though I should probably do it without Moka for now'
"I have some training I want to do before class starts" Naruto told Moka. "But until I have the basics down I don't think it would be a good idea for you to be nearby, since it might be dangerous for you"
"Okay, just remember that lessons start in an hour, and you haven't even had breakfast yet, so you don't have much time"
"Don't worry, I always have some instant ramen with me so I'll be fine" Naruto said with a smile.
He then jumped into a tree and out of her sight. He quickly made a shadow clone to keep an eye on her, just in case someone tried to attack her. Then he moved further into the forest until he found a clearing. He then took out the two scrolls describing advanced rasengan and the flying thunder god technique.
The rasengan scroll contained first talked about making a larger rasengan to increase the devastation. The second part explained how the rasengan was actually an incomplete technique. It went on to explain how one could, theoretically, add elemental chakra to it in order to truly make the technique complete, though none had managed to do it. Also contained a chakra paper and descriptions on how to train the different affinities.
The flying thunder god scroll described how you needed to focus on a lot of things at once to succeed; the seal you want to transport yourself to (first you needed to create a seal that worked specifically for you.). Pushing yourself forward with wind chakra (needed to master that, whether or not it was your natural element). Coat yourself in chakra that counteracted gravity and wind. Use a special technique to travel to alternative dimension to find the path of least resistance. The last part was using normal chakra to dispel yourself away from any obstacles in your way. These things were what were needed to use it to transport yourself, but in order to use it in combat you also needed quick perception, because you needed to be able to find out what is happening around you in mere seconds. The sheer complexity of the technique was the reason that no-one except the fourth had managed to learn how to do it. The scroll also had a multitude of different exercises to use it.
Naruto had just finished reading and was about to find out his main chakra element when he heard something.
"Oh" a female voice said "s…some…one." At that point Naruto noticed a blue haired girl crawling towards him "help me please… please lend me a hand. I just suddenly started feeling ill."
"Hey are you okay" Naruto asked as he knelt beside her, "Do you need to go to the infirmary?"
"That might be a… good idea" The girl replied.
Naruto lifted her up and started walking towards the school.
"Thank you very much" The girl said "I've always had a weak body. My… my chest… My chest just suddenly starts hurting." She then turned slightly in his arms, rubbing her breasts against him "Hold me tight like this. My chest feels like it's going to burst."
'There's something of about this, though I can't figure out what' Naruto thought to himself as he neared the school.
"Hey, look into my eyes Naruto" The girl said seductively, and without thinking Naruto did so "I'm Kurumu Kurono. Please be a good friend to me, okay?"
Suddenly Naruto found himself in very little control of his body, 'Genjutsu, and I haven't even started training how to break those yet' Naruto thought 'Since I'm carrying Kurumu and holding her close, my hands are actually close together, so maybe I can use the basic genjutsu breaker'
He was almost at the entrance when he got his hands together and tried breaking it, but his attempt failed.
"I have something I need to take care of Naruto, why don't you wait here for me" Kurumu suddenly said as she jumped out of his arms and then into the building.
After she left the hold of her charm started weakening, enough for Naruto to move inside to search for Moka, though he was still rather confounded. A moment later he received some memories from his clone, telling him exactly what Kurumu's plan was, as she had just told it all to Moka. This was enough to clear his head and he immediately tried to come up with a way to counter her attempts.
'First priority is getting Moka away from her, I can always come up with a way to stop her completely' Naruto decided as he arrived at the place where Moka and Kurumu were.
"Moka, there you are" He yelled, getting their attention "There is something I want to talk to you about."
Just then Kurumu threw herself at him, however she found herself hugging a trashcan rather than Naruto. Meanwhile Naruto quickly grabbed Moka by the hand and started leading her outside.
"Naruto, you need to be careful of that girl" Moka said while they were running.
"You don't need to tell me, I already know" Naruto interrupted before Moka could go into why he needed to be on his guard "After what happened yesterday I used one of my abilities to keep an eye on you so I would know if you were in trouble, though if you where attacked in the bathroom I wouldn't know."
"You mean you've been spying on me" Moka asked, sounding hurt.
"No, I already said I didn't go into private areas and I only listened into your conversation with Kurumu because she seemed rather threatening" Naruto explain. "I did this to protect you; you're a beautiful girl, and Saizou proved that some people here don't care about consent".
"Okay, but what do you plan to do about Kurumu?" Moka asked.
"Since she seems to use skills similar to genjutsu and I suck at those I don't really know" Naruto admitted, though Moka didn't know what 'genjutsu meant "However the genjutsu she used on me seemed to be made for boys, so maybe your other self would be unaffected" At this point they had left the school and were running towards some trees.
"But is it really necessary to go that far" Moka asked with a slight frown.
Just then Naruto felt something approaching from behind and quickly pulled Moka down with him, narrowly avoiding a claw that slashed at them.
"You came in far too quickly, and you went out of your way to avoid me" Kurumu stated as she flew above them, her nails extended into claws "Since you've already chosen her I will destroy you and anything connected with her".
She then flew downwards again, intend on attacking them, but Naruto quickly pulled the Rosario of which lead to Moka's supernatural energies flooding the area and throwing Kurumu back a little.
"Ahh, what is this" Kurumu asked as she covered her eyes. "No way, what a powerful looking swirl of supernatural energies." She then noticed the changes in Moka's appearance and came to the conclusion that Moka was a true vampire. She quickly pulled herself back together and yelled; "Don't mess around with me; there's no way I could lose. We Succubae seek a 'destined encounter' among the men we tempt. In order to keep our small species from dying out we must carefully pick just one man from out of many to be our destined one. You got in the way of that, Moka Akashiya. I can't let you get away with that no matter what". Kurumu then quickly dove towards Moka.
"So what are you going to do about it" Moka asked "You can't let me do this so you dare bare your fangs at the likes of me? You frail, egotistical woman. Know your place."
Kurumu slashed her claws at Moka only for Moka to disappear and reappear behind her.
"Slow!" Moka stated as she grabbed Kurumu's tail. She then began swinging Kurumu while stating "Why don't I tear of this tail and those wings so you'll never fly again". Just as Moka finished speaking Kurumu hit the ground hard, leaving a crater. "Calm yourself that attack was to straight forward. Am I to difficult for you? Though you attack like a little devil, you're just a naïve little girl". Moka's face then turned sadistic. "I'll make it so that you can never stand up to me again"
Moka then started walking towards the frightened Kurumu, but soon found her path blocked by Naruto.
"You've already won" He stated calmly.
"Move!" Moka replied "Was this not the woman who not only charmed you, but also tried to kill you."
"Maybe so, but she has already been beaten for doing that" Naruto answered "While I don't like what she did, I do not think she is an evil person and therefore I won't allow any more damage to her."
"Okay, then why don't you take the damage for her, I did promise to test your strength after easy fights" Moka said with a confident grin.
"Alright, but I'll move Kurumu out of the fight zone first." Naruto said before creating a clone that took Kurumu and the Rosario away. He then got into a fighting stance "Now I'm ready" He said, only to get a foot in his face just as he finished his sentence, sending him into a tree.
"Pathetic" Moka stated as Naruto slid down the tree. But then he was covered in smoke and turning into a log.
"You have a solid kick, but you should have aimed for one of the closer trees." Naruto said from a branch. His cheek was slightly bloated and red. "I managed to do a substitution before I hit the tree."
Naruto then quickly jump to another branch as Moka once again appeared before him and tried to kick him. When he reached the branch he used it to kick off of and towards Moka, however as he travelled towards her he saw that she was pulling her leg back for another kick.
'Shit, I just set myself up; I don't have the time for a replacement, and my air mobility is limited' Naruto thought just before he made a clone in front of him to absorb some of the damage from the kick. As Moka's kick sent him into a tree once again he realized; 'I could have used the clone to move me instead of just minimizing the damage.'
"Seems you didn't have time for that log trick this time" Moka observed.
"Nope" Naruto said as he slowly tried to stand up, only for Moka to pin him to the tree, holding each of his hands apart with her own hands as she leaned towards his neck. "Hey, remember to ask." Naruto stated.
"Do farmers ask cows for permission to milk them?" Moka asked. "No they do not, so why should I ask for your permission to take some blood?"
"Hey, don't compare me to a cow." Naruto said, insulted.
"While the sentimental Moka might see you as more than your blood it does not mean that I am the same" Moka stated. "Until you manage to beat me I will never ask before taking blood." She then started sucking some of his blood.
Just as she finished sucking his blood his clone returned with the Rosario and she quickly took it and put it on.
"So your other half can talk to you through the Rosario?" Naruto asked after Moka told him that a voice had warned her of Kurumu's targeting her the day before.
"It's the only explanation that makes sense, except for me losing my mind, but it's strange, isn't it. Maybe the seal is weakening." Moka theorized. She then looked at him shyly "Hey, if it comes to the point where the seal doesn't work anymore… You would still like me right?"
"Off cause" Naruto stated, "I like both Moka's, though the other Moka's can be a little harder to deal with. Still, Moka is Moka, whether it is the outer or inner version."
"Thank you, Naruto" Moka said with a smile.
"No problem, Moka" Naruto replied, but then he noticed that Moka had started leaning towards his neck and he prepared to stop her.
"Good morning." I voice said from beside them and they turned to see Kurumu standing there, which made Naruto go into a defensive position, just in case.
"What do you want now?" Moka asked in a nervous voice.
Kurumu ignored her and turned to Naruto. "Naruto, I've baked some cookies. Won't you eat them with me?" She asked him.
"Umm. Why me?" Naruto asked with a confused expression.
"Remember when I said that I was searching for my life's one and only destined one?" Kurumu asked. "I've decided that it's Naruto. You protected me and even got beaten up because of it, so I've fallen for you".
"Um, the fact that I got beaten up was because of a deal I have with inner Moka, not because I protected you." Naruto said, but Kurumu and Moka were too busy staring at each other to listen.
The antics that followed made Naruto happy that it wasn't part of his mission to be a student that no one would notice, or he would have failed.

Don't expect rapid updates of this story, since my main focus is on writing my other story, Airbending Ninja. This story will mostly progress when I hit a writers block or have some spare time for extra writing.
