New World New Shinobi
Welcome to the second chapter of New World New Shinobi. I never said that this will be a harem, I might have turned it into one as the story continued, but definitely not like seven chapters into the story. I have had a few guests tell me to not make this story a harem. I hadn't even thought about the pairing to be honest. All I know is people have been bashing the hell out Roanes Steel for his Senran Kagura/ Nartuo crossover and another crossover of the same genre because they're harem stories.
I'm thinking about doing a triple crossover with Naruto x Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon x Evenicle. Not really sure if I should do it or not, but I do thing it would be an interesting concept to take on.
For the sheer hell of it I think I'll include the dlc characters in this story, so that means Ayane from Dead or Alive, along with Ryofu, Kan'U and Hakufu from Ikki Tousen. Has anybody heard of Evenicle before, it's kind of weird. P.S For this story Naruto comes from a slightly AU universe, and there's only one difference between the AU universe and the original Narutoverse.
Story Start
The six Hanzo students were currently sitting in a circle with the new student currently sipping something from a small cup. Asuka, Katsuragi, Ikagura and Yagyu took the time to study Naruto and his features while Hibari was just staring at his whisker marks.
'Please give me a distraction, I don't know how to deal with this!' he inwardly thought to himself. Despite all his training with his mother he was still horrible at dealing with people let alone five girls his own age. The only interactions he had with the female gender his own age was Miu and a few other girls and one of them was scary as hell!
The white haired boy continued to drink before his eyes snapped open and the second he did a smoke pellet dropped to the ground.
BOOM!
The smoke pellet exploded enveloping all of them in smoke. The groaned at the stinging sensation in their eyes and coughing erupted as the smoke invaded their lunges. The smoke soon cleared to reveal the middle aged silver haired man standing at the front of the classroom.
"Good morning class," Kiriya said with a nod while ignoring the annoyed looks he got from his five female students, his only male student continued to sip from his small cup with his eyes still half lidded. He only stopped drinking to greet him along with the rest of his students. "Since you all are a team I think it would be best to determine the newest member's strength. Are you ready Naruto?"
Naruto lowered his drink and let out a small puff of warm air before looking at Kiriya, "Hai, sensei."
About five minutes later the group was outside with Kiriya and the girls standing about fifteen meters behind Naruto who kept his hands in the pouch of his hoodie. The silver haired teacher snapped his fingers and a large number of wooden puppets and dolls appeared around Naruto in puffs of smoke. The dolls swayed from side to side as Kiriya once again snapped his fingers, "Begin!" With that order the puppets charged from all sides.
Naruto half lidded eyes suddenly opened to their normal size as he gave a fun loving smile. When the puppets were less than a yard away from Naruto, he just vanished like he did when he passed the other girls and reappeared behind them holding both blades of Chomei in a reverse grip.
In the next instant a quarter of the puppets fell to the ground in pieces. He continued to cut through puppet after puppet as the rest of the soulless puppets charged at him stepping over the shredded parts of his victims. One particularly fast puppet attempted to attack him from behind, so the white haired boy leaned forward and let the puppet's attack sail above him letting him drop on all fours.
Chomei vanished in a light green light and a second later a blue light lit up around his wrists. A small pair iron gauntlets that went from the top of wrists that went about six inches down appeared. "Matatabi," he whispered before three seven inch claws sprouted out from the black and blue flower patterned gauntlets. He quickly stabbed the puppet in that was in front of him in the head and the heart before throwing the puppet at the one standing behind him. His expression had softened to a content smile while his eyes went back to the half lidded state, only this time he had a gleam in his blue eyes.
"Come on," he said with an alluring tone. More puppets launched themselves trying to overwhelm with sheer numbers, the first one made contact with Naruto's fist and the head exploded while he grabbed the second one's head before driving it into the ground.
While he was focused on the group of puppets in front of him he wasn't paying attention to another wooden puppet that was quickly running at him at top speed from behind. The puppet jumped into the air and tried to kick Naruto's head in. Before any of the girls could tell him about it the puppet was round house kicked into oblivion by a second white haired boy?!
"The hell?!" Katsuragi swore as the two white haired boy's nodded to one another before tag teaming the remaining two dozen puppets. The unarmed white haired boy settled into an odd stance. While the armed Naruto was busy slicing his opponents to pieces the other targeted the joints of the puppets and delivered a series of fists and feet that shattered the wooden frames of the puppets.
"Matatabi let's light it up!" the dual claw Naruto said as he dragged his claws against the ground causing sparks to start flying. The claws sparked once again before becoming entirely engulfed in a blue fire. Anything that the blue fire made contact with turned into cinders within a few seconds. Yagyū's lone eye narrowed somewhat a the blue fire, "Strange."
A few minutes later all the puppets were reduced to wooden scraps and small body parts. Both Naruto's had their eyes return to their half lidded state a few short seconds later when he realized that the fight was over. The claws retracted back into the small gauntlets before they too disappeared. The two Naruto's bumped fists before the second one vanished in smoke.
"Was that sufficient Kiriya sensei?" he said as a small smile tugged on his lips at the shocked faces of his classmates while his teacher just rubbed his temples muttering to himself.
The pink haired girl, Hibari was in front of him almost instantly, "Sugoi. How did you do that?" she asked with a tilt of the head, Naruto made a come hear motion with his hand. Everyone also leaned a little bit to hear how the white haired boy was able to clone himself.
"…Trade secret." He whispered making them all face fault. Hibari quickly shot back up and pouted at him with her cheeks all puffed up.
"Meanie," she grumbled before she remembered that she hadn't even introduced herself yet. "My names Hibari and this is Yagyū-chan," the pinkette said dragging the one eyed white haired girl over. Yagyū just looked at him with her one eye while Naruto just looked back with a small smile on his face.
Asuka, Ikagura and Katsuragi soon followed with the granddaughter of Hanzo sticking her hand out. Naruto shook his head in a negative motion before holding out a fist instead. Asuka's expression turned to one of curiosity. Katsuragi stepped forward and put one arm around Asuka before bumping fists with Naruto. "Nice to meet'cha Naruto." "Oh," Asuka said with an enlightened expression before she too bumped fists. "Nice to meet you Naruto-san!" she said with a bright smile.
Naruto returned it with his own small smile before looking at Ikagura and holding his fist out. "I don't usually do this, but I guess if everyone else can do it, then so can I," she said using her prim and proper tone that was gained through years of being an heiress. She bumped fists with Naruto as well before a thought ran through her head, "How many copies of yourself can you make?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to answer, hey just because he won't tell them what it was doesn't mean he couldn't answer a couple of questions. But a thought suddenly came to him, he's never tried to make as many as he possibly could, he's always made a maximum of six copies. "Never tried," he said before Naruto crossed his fingers before the area became enshrouded in clouds of smoke. When the smoke died down the five girls and Kiriya were completely surrounded by multiple copies of the white haired boy. Some were sitting in the trees, while even more sat on top of the school roof. All in all there were more than three hundred, Hibari actually started steaming as she tried to count all of the Narutos, "Stop moving around!" Yagyū was inwardly surprised as she tried to calm down her favorite pinkette. A technique such as this one could be very dangerous in the wrong hands.
"Holy," Katsuragi muttered in sheer awe number of boys surrounding them all. Less than a second later a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind, the blonde gave a large grin along with a strange laugh as she thought of all the uses for Naruto's copying technique. Asuka was wide eyed with starts in her eyes while Ikagura was shocked that such a ninja technique existed. Kiriya however narrowed his eyes, there has never been such a technique that can summon solid copies one's self. The original Naruto looked at all his clones before giving a small fist pump. With a silent order all of the clones dispelled and he was suddenly hit with a wave of everything his clones had seen. The white haired teen had known that he would gain the information that his clones knew, but it also worked as a double edged sword when it came to fighting. He discovered that when someone popped his clones he got the phantom pains of the attack and in the heat of the moment he might not be able to tell if he took the damage or if was just phantom pain. The split second hesitation could cost him on the battlefield if he wasn't careful. "W-well that answers my question," Ikagura replied curtly making Naruto nod in response.
"Well I think that demonstration showed Naruto's fighting skills," Kiriya said with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, "Now let's hear a little bit about yourself. Any likes, dislikes and your goal." "Naruto Kosaka…I like weapons…animals and ramen," Katusragi grinned at hearing of another ramen enthusiast. "I don't like…large crowds… those who disrespect their weapons…or needless killing…my goal is to become strong enough to protect everything that I care about." He finished with that and as if on cue a small blue bird flew over from one of the nearby trees and landed on top of Naruto's hair.
"Ano, what you mean by disrespect their weapons?" Hibari asked with a cute tilt of the head. Instead of answering vocally Naruto closed his eyes for a moment before the long blade known as Kurama. The blade itself glowed a vibrant red as soon as Naruto touched it. "I don't like people…who just throw away and abandon their weapons when it no longer serves its purpose." The vibrant glow turned a few tones darker, "When a weapon is dubbed as useless…that's an insult to the creator of the weapon."
"I can respect that," Katsuragi said with a nod as she summoned her black and golden grieves. "My Kicks of Fury came from a perverted old blacksmith that lived in town. He said that these grieves were half of his legacy." Ikagura summoned her own long katana known as Hien. Hien was a family heirloom for the heir of the clan, and despite all the trouble it had brought she still felt an emotional connection to the shimmering silver colored blade. Asuka and Yagyū held their own weapons with similar nostalgic looks in their eyes.
Hibari sulked with a sad expression on her face as she was from a family that preferred not to use weapons and their bare fists instead. Naruto took notice and gave a small sigh, "…But that doesn't mean that I dislike people who don't use weapons at all… You can still carry on a legacy even if you don't have a weapon." The white haired boy looked to the sky as the blue bird nestled further into his hair while giving a soft chirp.
Kiriya gave a small smile before he coughed to get their attention. "Now that that's finished it's time for your mission. There's a shrine in Yokohama that needs protecting from a well known and violent gang called the Skull Saders (Internet Cookie if you now who these guys are). Normally I would tell you to refrain from too much physical harm, but this is a special case. The Shrine Maiden has constantly been under attack from the Skull Saders and the leader, Magaki Kouji has hospitalized anyone that has tried to help. I want you to go in and disband the Skull Saders by any non-lethal means." The group of six nodded with determined looks in their eyes.
-Five Hours Later-
"Is this the place?" Katsuragi asked as the students arrived at a rather small white shrine. The shrine was sitting on top of a small hill surrounded by trees, around the shrine were multiple pieces of empty bags, beer bottles and even a couple of porn magazines littered all over the place. "Hibari don't look!" Yagyū called out as she quickly covered Hibari's eyes. The pinkette squeaked at her sudden loss of vision as she started flailing her arms around. Naruto (who had his hood over his head) diverted his eyes away from the scantily clad women in the magazine and turned his attention to the well designed shrine. The shrine itself was very clean and pristine as if the Skull Saders had never made it passed a certain point, he felt a very odd presence that surrounded the temple that gave him the chills. Ikagura nodded at the question, "This is the place, Kiriya-sensei said that we first have to find the shrine maiden and guard her."
The class representative felt a tap on her shoulder making her turn toward her hooded classmate who was pointing at the temple entrance. Standing at the entrance was a teenage girl around their own age with long purple hair tied into a ponytail. She had purple eyes that gleamed with something that Ikagura couldn't recognize. She was dressed in a white shrine maiden's outfit that contained her large buxom and was currently looking at the six students with some relief written all over face. The six soon made it to the top of the temple's entrance where the shrine maiden was waiting for them. The girl gave a short bow, "Hello, I assume you're the six that I asked for?"
"Hai," Asuka nodded before she continued. "Don't worry we'll deal with the Skull Saders for you …um," the black haired girl scratched the back of her head sheepishly when she forgot the name of the client. The purple eyed girl gave a light giggle. "Akeno, Akeno Himejima," the now named Akeno said with a fond expression on her face. The six students then took turns to introduce themselves until it came to Naruto who was staring outside.
Once again Akeno gave a small, but slightly nervous laugh, "I guess he's the quiet type isn't he?" The others nodded at the question while glancing at the zoned out white haired boy. "Gomensai," Naruto apologized snapping out of his daze. He could still feel that bone chilling aura that engulfed the temple. "My names…Naruto Kosaka, it's nice to meet you," he said in a quiet tone before turning around to look at Akeno and the five girls. He wasn't trying to be rude, it was just that he didn't really know how to talk to people all that well.
Akeno gave a small sigh of relief, "It's nice to meet you as well Kosaka-kun." The hooded male was glad that his hood was up, no one bar his mother, Miu and Mira ever used the honorific at the end of his name. "I'm glad you all showed up, the Skull Saders have been terrorizing the town and the shrine for the pass few weeks." "Do you know why they are staying around?" Ikagura asked with a contemplating look in her eyes. "It's very strange for a gang like the Skull Saders to expand their territory to include a shrine. They're after something aren't they?"
Akeno nodded with a serious expression, "Yes and unfortunately it's me they're after. Their leader has taken a fancy to me and he didn't like it when I told him no when he asked me to be his girl. He's been forcefully trying to make me his girl ever since, I'm just lucky that the barrier keeps them all out."
Naruto jolted before he spoke up, "I smell smoke and beer."
This got everyone to turn around and they were greeted with the Skull Saders coming back to their territory. Every last one of them had shaven bald heads and their leader Magaki Kouji led the entire gang. There wasn't much difference between him and the rest of his gang besides the black tattoo that was on top of his head. "Akeno-chan I'm back!" Magaki said with a grin on his face. His face soon turned into a frown before the grin returned even larger than before as he looked at each and every girl of the Hanzo squad up and down. "Look guys Akeno-chan brought playmates for everyone!" His gang cheered loudly and began making odd gestures and loud wolf whistles. Ikagura and the others frowned at the jeers before the class president called Hien to her side, "Pigs." With that statement the six shinobi vanished from sight and attacked the Skull Saders from different angles.
-Ikagura-
"Stand still!" one of the Skull Saders members said as they slammed a bat at the spot where Ikagura previously just stood. Ikagura countered by slamming the hilt of her sword into the young man's lower jaw and sent him flying. She fully pulled out Hien with her right hand while keeping the sheath in her left hand, she swiped upwards while barely touching the ground with the tip of her blade.
This sent a large shockwave along the ground that knocked several members of the gang off their feet. "You're much to slow," the black haired swordswoman said as she danced around each and every member of the large gang while at the same time dodging all their strikes.
She unsheathed her sword and seemingly vanished before she reappeared behind the several members of the gang with her sword almost fully sheathed. One of the members spoke up once again when he realized that he wasn't even scratched, "Heh! What was that…suppose," he never finished as his eyes rolled up into his skull while several more members dropped to the ground with several articles of their clothing ripped to shreds. She fully sheathed Hien as she turned to face the remaining members of the Skull Saders.
The black haired beauty gave a small frown as the thugs brought more and more metal based weapons and some were now sporting brass knuckles. "This is going to take longer than I thought," she said while deflecting a metal bat from behind before hitting the boy with the hilt of Hien.
-Katsuragi-
Instead of donning the Kicks of Furry Katsuragi simply kept walking forward. The blonde haired girl eagerly licked her lips in anticipation before she kicked one of the Skull Saders and sent him flying into a group of his buddies. She bounced on the balls of her feet making the Skull Saders lower their eyes to the round mounds that bounced up and down. "Oi, you might want to pay attention."
She quickly dashed forward and lashed out with a devastating heel that snapped all their heads to the side before the force of the actual kick sent them all skidding across the ground. Katsuragi ducked under one of Skull Saders who had attempted to deck her in the face with a pair of brass knuckles. She gave a large grin as she kneed him in the stomach before stepping back to kick him in the head. She flipped backwards and during the flip she managed to land two kicks on an incoming Skull Sader.
'This is kinda fun,' she thought to herself as she continued to kick more and more members of the incoming Skull Saders to the curb. She couldn't use the Kicks of Fury because with their added strength she could easily kill these guys. "Then again up close and personal has always been my style," Katsuragi said under her breath before she jumped into the middle of the group of gangsters and started knocking out member after member of the Skull Saders
-Yagyū and Hibari-
The pinkette tripped over one of the fallen bodies of the Skull Saders and by sheer luck she bopped two more members on the head with her surprising strength. She tucked herself into a ball and bowled over each guy like they were a set of bowling ball pins. With a very odd fighting style that looked like how a young child would fight she took out many more members with a set of well placed kicks and punches until she stopped in front of a rather large individual who was grinning at the smaller girl.
The monster of a man reached down to grab Hibari by her hair only to suddenly heave as something heavy and powerful slammed into his gut. The culprit was an odd bipedal, white furred, red eyed bunny. The bunny itself gave a grin before he was blasted back by a large electrical discharge.
The electrified man crashed into his fellow Skull Saders making the electrical charge strike all of them. The pinkette gave a chuckle before high fiving the rabbit, unfortunately neither noticed one of the Skull Saders trying to sneak up on the both of them. "Gotcha!" he cried out before he was quickly shut up by a flash of white before something red and yellow slammed into the side of his head.
The one eyed Yagyū gave a small frown at the fallen Skull Sader before giving a small smile towards Hibari who was bouncing up and down on the ball of her heels with that rabbit giving a small fist pump as well. Yagyū quickly turned as she rubbed under nose with the arm of her sleeve while simultaneously swinging her umbrella in the direction of the rest of the Skull Saders.
Multiple shards of ice flew from her umbrella that struck with incredible accuracy. The Skull Saders were now frozen where they stood while the others were still reeling from electrical discharge. The innocent Hibari cheered while the Yagyū just smiled at the girl's happiness.
-Asuka-
A flash of silver that was quickly followed by cries of pain echoed throughout the shrine's ground as Asuka dashed around an incredible speeds. Hanzo's granddaughter jumped back to dodge a bat that was riddled with rusty nails.
As soon as her feet touched the ground she jumped forward and a moment later she slid passed the bat wielding Skull Sader. The bat fell into seven different pieces before the owner of the bat had his clothes quite literally cut to pieces "Get out of my way!" Asuka said as she leaned down until she was nearly parallel to the ground. She dashed forward catching the surrounding Skull Saders off guard, she sliced certain areas that would cripple the boys for a few days, but they would eventually heal. "What is with these chicks?!" one of the guys called out as he noticed that most of his comrades were out of commission.
The others noticed that most of their army of fifty were decimated and lying on all the ground, all the while they were groaning in pain. "S-screw this I'm out of here!" Another guy said as he started running away from the battlefield. He was soon followed by many more cowardly Skull Saders. A total of ten Skull Saders and their leader was all that was left of the powerful gang and they were swiftly being dealt with by Naruto.
-Naruto-
"What the hell are you?!" Magaki Kouji said as he slowly stepped back from the monster in front of him. Naruto who now had his hood down walked forward at an eerily slow pace just gave a small, but sinister smile all the while dragging Kurama along the ground. The sound of rattling chains echoed throughout the clearing.
Anything that they tried to hit him with proved ineffective, the white haired punk just either dodged to the side and let another Skull Sader take the hit or their weapons broke whenever he blocked with that monster of a blade that he owned. One of the few remaining members attempted to attack Naruto from behind. The son of Shigure leaned forward to avoid the attack and took the opportunity to kick the Skull Sader with the back of his heel. Naruto looked back with a somewhat smug grin, "You guys kinda suck at this whole intimidation thing, ya know." His personality had returned to his natural hyperactive state with a hint of being just a bit snarky.
"Shut up you son of a bitch!" Magaki called out, his previous fear forgotten as he charged with a pair of brass knuckles gleaming in the light. He took a glance to the side to find that all of his men were either incapacitated or were running away with their tails between their legs. "Cowards!" he yelled before he started letting loose wild haymakers. Naruto just backpedaled to avoid each shot while dodging to the sides. His blue eyes glazed over for a split second, this split second was enough for Magaki to catch up to the white haired bastard and launch a punch to his head. However instead of hitting skin the leader of the Skull Saders only hit air. Before he could question where the white haired bastard was, a foot slammed into his jaw and launched him in the air. While he was hanging in the air he felt someone touch his back, that same hand used Magaki's body as a pivot. An elbow slammed into the right side of Magaki's head, that was followed by a knee slamming into his left rib and that followed by an elbow to the face. The strike to the face was followed by a kick to the stomach that send him flying towards the ground. Magaki noticed something dash by him and hit the ground first, but before he could wonder why Naruto dashed passed him he had already found his answer. This answer took the form of Naruto who had the handle pointing straight up while the blade was in the ground. The handle itself was wrapped in about two layers of chains. The sound of cracking bone rang out across the field making everyone wince at the sound.
Naruto had the nerve to look a bit sheepish, "Ara maybe that was a bit too brutal,"' he said with a small smirk letting Magaki slide off the handle of his blade.
Katsuragi gave a low whistle as she walked up to Naruto and Magaki with her hands behind her head, "Wow, I think you broke something," she said while Magaki rolled around on the ground groaning in pain as he clutched his stomach. Naruto scratched the back of his head, "I kinda get carried away when I'm in the heat of battle, ya know." The white haired boy refused to meet his teammates eyes as the other four girl walked over to the two shinobi, he didn't need to even see Ikagura's scolding stare that told him. A moment later Akeno also joined them while carrying a large stick, a stick she used to continuously poke the moaning Magaki.
"Thank you for your assistance," Akeno said with a small bow, and the six Hanzo students returned her bow with their own bow in response. She turned the only male member of the team, before she narrowed her eyes at him, "Do I know you? I feel like I've seen you before." Naruto shook his head no and looked elsewhere, "Don't think so, I've never been to Yokohama before."
Akeno squinted her eyes as she drew closer. The white haired boy tried even harder to avoid her gaze, "My Kaa-san and I travelled all over the world, but we've seriously never been to Yokohama before, much less a shrine, ya know." But Akeno didn't seem satisfied as she just settled for staring at him instead. The girl gave a sigh before once again giving a small smile, "I guess I'm thinking of someone else then. Once again thank you for dealing with the Skull Saders and don't worry about them coming back. I have a few friends who's moving down here in a few days and she can protect the shrine just fine."
Akeno gave a closed eyed smile and a few minutes later the Hanzo students began heading back to catch the next train to Asasuka. The moment the six students were out of sight Akeno's entire aura changed and she gained a seductive smile. She gave a small laugh as she headed back inside the shrine. You see this wasn't a normal shrine, this shrine belonged to a very special clan that have been dealing with Yoma ever since the beings came into existence. The clan itself was down to five girls and their mother and they had a very odd way of reproducing, but that's a tale for later. Anyway the clan itself was actually a mixture of two very old and powerful clans, one of which was very well known for fighting demons. The shrine maiden pulled out a cell phone from her sleeve and punched in a number.
-5 Hours later back at Hanzo-
"Mission complete!" Asuka said with a salute. The train ride back to Hanzo hadn't been all that exciting, Naruto's personality returned to being his quite himself and he had put his hood back on at some point. Some point during the train ride he freaking vanished! Normally this wouldn't be such a surprise, but he was sitting right by Ikagura when he disappeared and she didn't notice until he showed himself an hour later. Their sensei nodded before glancing at the clock that read 6:00 pm,
"Good work. It's been a long day, so go ahead and take the rest of the day off." The sword wielding heiress gave her teammates a glance and the girls responded discreetly as possible. With that said Hibari took Yagyū to who knows where, while Ikagura had taken Asuka with her to go buy food for five girls and an extra boy. Naruto himself just thought about what he could do with all the extra time, but before he could figure out what to do, an arm slung itself over his shoulder.
"I guess you're with me then," the blonde haired girl said with a grin. Naruto didn't react, but Katsuragi said something that awakened his inner beast. "C'mon we'll go get some ramen," she said making Naruto's eyes sparkle underneath his hood. Within three seconds Naruto grabbed Katsuragi's hand and led her out the school and passed the school gates.
-Ramen Stand-
"Where does it all go?"
"Probably to her chest."
"Is he some kind of bottomless pit?"
"He's already finished another bowl!"
These were just a few of the comments that were being made from the people surrounding the local ramen stand. Sitting at the stand and racking up a considerable amount of bowls were both Katsuragi and Naruto, the blonde girl had at least ten bowls stacked up on her side and was working towards her eleventh while Naruto was on his thirteenth bowl.
The ramen chefs were already in the process of making several more bowls for the two voracious teenagers. The two slammed their bowls onto the table at the exact same time. Katsuragi took another glance at her teammate's large amount of empty bowls, "How the heck can you eat so much?" and she thought Hibari could eat a lot, well that was only with sweets, but it was the same principle. Naruto gave a small smile that showed one of his sharp fangs, "High metabolism," he answered before someone took the seat next to him. He turned to find a girl around their own age with short green hair and a pair of yellow reptilian slit eyes. Her figure matched that of Katsuragi's and she radiated an air of strength.
Apparently Katsuragi knew her as she called out the name 'Hikage'. Her eyes showed no emotion, and that was something he had only seen in his mother's eye. Letting his curiosity getting the better of him Naruto tapped into of the abilities he had developed with his mother. From an early age the white haired teen had the capability to see the emotions of people around him. Everyone had some sort of color that surrounded them whenever they're feeling some kind of emotion, the stronger the emotion the brighter and larger the color radiated from them. But when he looked at Hikage he didn't see any color surrounding her at first, but when he looked closer he could see a very thin outline of grey and an even thinner outline of the color yellow. The color grey translated to a sense of apathy while the color yellow translated to happiness. Naruto then directed his view at the setting sun while leaning back on his stool and whispered the word, "Kisū(Odd)."
"How've ya been Hikage?" Katsuragi asked with a wide grin as another bowl was placed in front of her.
Hikage shrugged, but the expression on her face didn't change whatsoever, "It's been alright." . She then looked at Naruto who still had his hood covering his face, but for some reason Naruto felt like she could actually look past his hood and into his eyes. "Who are you?"
"…Naruto Kosaka…" he whispered before consuming the bowl in front of him with gusto. Hikage shrugged off the awkward atmosphere and ordered a bowl for herself instead. The hooded teen saw similarities between both Hikage and his mother which made let out a small chuckle. Katsuragi checked the clock and noticed it was almost time for the two of them to head back.
"Oi Naruto, c'mon it's time to head back," the bodacious blonde said making Naruto frown at being separated from his precious. The white haired teen sighed before he grabbed his wallet and paid for the both of them. The two headed back out for Hanzo. Neither one of the two noticed Hikage look at Naruto's back for a few seconds. The green haired girl looked up at the setting sun, "Kisū huh?" she muttered before taking a bite of her ramen, while taking a glance at the back of Naruto and Katsuragi.
-Back at Hanzo about 30 minutes later-
"…Why is it so dark?" Naruto asked before the lights flashed on.
"Surprise!" his fellow classmates yelled from the middle of the classroom. The blonde behind him was giving a wide grin, Asuka and Hibari, who were the most jovial ones were giving large smiles while Ikagura and Yagyū were a bit farther away. Ikagura gave a small but friendly smile while Yagyū was smiling more towards Hibari than anybody else. In the middle of fall them sat a large white cake that spelled out 'Welcome to Hanzo' in blue frosting. Naruto pulled down his hood to reveal slightly widened blue eyes. "Arigato," he said before giving a truly heartwarming smile with a small but healthy red glow on his cheeks. This smile was one that was reserved for his mother and Miu, but this was a special occasion.
"Let's get this party started!" Asuka cheered while raising her fist high into the air. The next thirty minutes were spent with the six teens just talking with one another and a few gropes curtesy of Katsuragi towards the girls, Naruto could have sworn he felt someone slap his butt once when he wasn't paying attention. If anyone had paid greater attention they would have noticed a small mouse sitting on the window sill eating a cracker while Kiriya and an elder man were outside the door looking in with fond smiles.
-The Next Morning-
"Where's Naruto?" Kiriya asked looking up from his lesson book. The girls shrugged in response making the man sigh, the boy's tendencies were very similar to his mother's own habits. "Could you girls go look for him? If he's anything like his mother you'll need at least five people to go looking for him." "Hai sensei!" the girls saluted before leaving to find their very odd teammate. The five girls decided to split up into groups of two with Asuka being the odd person out to find the white haired boy.
The two third year students stopped by his room first. Ikagura's hand reached towards the door knob only to stop about an inch away, "Wait what if Kosaka-san is changing in there?" Her cheeks turned slightly red at the thought of seeing a nude male for the first time.
Katsuragi however just shrugged, "Just think about it like this, we'll see him naked eventually so we might as well see it now before it surprises us when we're fighting or something," the blonde said and to be honest Ikagura couldn't really argue with that logic either. The black haired third year sighed before turning the nob of Naruto's door. Naruto's room was odd to say the least, he had only been here for a day, yet it was already decorated (if you call it that). His bed sheets were colored black with orange leaves decorating it, while right above his bed was a circular orange net with several blue feathers hanging down.
Across the room there was a punching bag that suspended in the air via chain. His wall had multiple weapons hanging on each side and out in the open was a set of tools one would have for fixing up a room and a sketchbook. Katsuragi sniffed the air and picked up the scent of several different flavors of ramen before something caught her eye. It was a small grey journal laying on top of Naruto's pillow, the book itself looked just like a normal journal except it had the kanji for the word 'Dream' written on it. The only reason she didn't walk over there and open was because it felt like an invasion of personal property.
-Yagyū and Hibari-
The pinkette looked for her white haired friend in all the rooms while Yagyū just tried to sense his presence instead. The white haired girl hadn't shown her surprise as much as everyone when Naruto had just appeared in front of all of them and disappeared on the train yesterday. She had prided herself on stealth and sensing her opponents, so you can understand why she's a bit self conscious of her skills at this point. Before Yagyū could continue thinking Hibari let out a small squeak. Yagyū was there within a split second and noticed that Hibari was keeping something trapped in her hands.
"Yagyū-chan I found a weird mouse!" When Hibari opened her hands Yagyo expected the mouse to jump out, so she was surprised when the grey furred mouse just sat there looking at the two with a raised eyebrow.
The mouse's eyes sparkled with a gleam of intelligence that shouldn't be there. Tochimaru was only there to watch over Naruto for a little while and deliver messages between mother and son. Everything seemed to be alright with the white haired Kosaka, but he still seemed to be having trouble with his usual problems. "Chu," the mouse said before hopping out of Hibari's hands and onto the floor. The grey mouse walked on two legs with it's black eyes closed, the mouse looked back at Hibari and Yagyū when neither of the two followed him. "Chuu, Chu," Tochimaru squeaked making a come hither motion with his paw.
Hibari grabbed Yagyū with surprising strength, "C'mon Yagyū-chan let's follow him!" Both the pinkette and the white haired girl quickly dashed after the rather quick mouse.
-With Asuka-
"Where is he?" the granddaughter of Hanzo asked aloud. None of her other teammates had spotted Naruto and so far nether has she. Asuka gave an annoyed huff, "Mou that 'hiding your presence' ability is really annoying," she muttered before her trained hearing picked up on the sound of someone fighting. Asuka quickly made her way to the sound of the fighting. The second year made it to the bottom of a waterfall that lead to a large lake to find her white haired teammate fighting shirtless against one of his clones. The odd thing was that the two were standing on top of the water while fighting.
"Naruto!"
Naruto's blue eyes locked onto her for a split second before they switched back to his copy who was quickly closing in. The clone threw a punch towards Naruto's face, but the original countered by slightly jumping in the air to knock the fist downward, before throwing his own punch that connected and dispelled the clone. Without turning back he spoke, "…What is it Asuka-san?"
"H-how are you doing that?" she asked referring to him standing on water, she had never heard of a technique that allowed one to walk on water from her grandfather before.
"…Focus my energy into a layer beneath my feet…" he answered.
"Is it that simple?" she asked quietly. The second year student focused some of her energy onto her feet before taking a step forward onto the surface of the lake, the moment she did she surprised to feel a bit of resistance on the surface. She put a bit more of her weight on her foot, but that proved to be her undoing as she fell through the surface.
Or should he would have if something hadn't stopped her fall by grabbing her shoulders. "Ano, are you okay?" Asuka looked up to find a pair of half lidded blue eyes. She noticed that his blue eyes were actually quite bright sort of like a sapphire blue and they were full of energy despite his usual facial expression. "Asuka-san?" The girl shook her head to get out the daze before she noticed were exactly her hands were. She snatched her hands away from Naruto's stomach as if she was burned by fire, but he still kept his grip on her shoulders. "W-we came to get you, class started half an hour ago." Naruto looked up at the sun before returning his attention back to Asuka,
"Gomen…I came out here a few hours ago…must have let myself get lost in the fight." The white haired student put Asuka back on the shore before walking a few feet over to pick up his bag. Brown eyes widened when Asuka spotted four large faded marks going down his back in a diagonal fashion. This most likely meant that something with claws damaged him when he was younger. Naruto threw on his shirt before throwing his bag over his shoulder. "You coming Asuka-san?" he asked already starting his trek back towards the classroom.
"H-hai!" Asuka said quickly trying to catch up to her white haired teammate. She wondered how he got that scar across his back and as if he could read minds he answered.
"I got this scar from shielding a little girl from a yōma when I was younger… I was in the hospital for a few days after that… I couldn't remember what happened to me for an entire month…it was because of this that I found my reason to fight… I fight to protect everyone, especially the ones I care for… I don't want anyone to lose their family… not to any evil shinobi and most definitely not to any Yōma.…It may sound like a foolish ideal, but that's my goal." Naruto gave a small grin as he looked over his shoulder at his fellow second year, "I fight to make the world a safer place for the ones I cherish the most…so a scar like this means absolutely nothing."
"…Why are you telling me this?"
Naruto simply shrugged, "You're pretty transparent…you're not sure what you're fighting for are you?" he asked noting the widening of Asuka's eyes when he asked. "Don't worry…it took me years to discover what I was fighting for…I'm sure you can find yours easily."
Asuka just looked at her teammate with wide eyes. He was so strange, he appeared without any of them sensing his presence. His personality seemed to change whenever he held one of his numerous weapons, sometimes he was one of the nicest and jovial people she's ever met and sometimes he's sort of snarky but still nice. His abilities were some of which she's never heard of and walking on water just added on to the mystery that is Naruto. Everything about him so far was strange. "Kisū," she muttered making the white haired Kosaka chuckle quietly to himself as the two continued their trek back to the classroom.
-Unknown Location-
The sky was a bleeding red while the ground looked scorched beyond recognition. The landscape portions that weren't so scorched looked barely hospitable to any human and or animal, but then again no human or animal lived here. This was the separate dimension that was nearly parallel to the human world and the home of all Yōma. In the distance one could see a large castle with the stone being made from some kind of bloody red brick and white bones. This was the location of Shin and the home of the Yōma's future strategy against the soon to be reincarnated goddess.
"HA!" a voice rang out across the landscape followed by the sound of the something crashing into a wall. The owner of the voice was covered in a black miasma that spelled death for any that creatures that weren't Yoma.
"Fufufu, little Kurokami is maturing rather quickly don't you think, Akane? Aoi?" a rather lustful voice asked with a smile that spelled nothing but trouble for the one she had her eyes on.
"The little spitfire is gonna be one hell of a fighter when she matures," the one known as Akane said with a savage grin.
The one known as Aoi simply turned away, "It only matters if she beats the goddess, and then we have that other creature that appeared in our dimension."
Akane snorted, "You forget that Kurokami already defeated and devoured that dumbass that said he was going to 'rule over us demons' two years ago. She may have been born from one the blood of one of those creatures, but she has far surpassed his strength."
"Would y'all be quiet, I'm trying to focus here!" the owner of the voice was a girl around fifteen years old. She had long black hair that was down to the middle of her back and it was decorated with several white flowers. She had a soft face and a figure that no fifteen year old should ever have, but the real eye catcher was her eyes. Kurokami had gained these eyes after she had devoured a being that said his powers had transcended life and death. She was quickly annoyed by the man's boasting about how he out-witted a goddess, so she shut him up by shoving her arm through his heart. She then ate the heart and his soul while leaving the rest of his body to her caretakers. Kurokami opened her eyes to reveal a metallic purple with three concentric rings around her eyelid.
-STORY END-
So how was it? Kurokami is virtually Naruto's mortal rival in the throughout the story. The two will meet sometime soon, maybe not next chapter or the chapter after that, but definitely after that she will appear. If you need an appearance just imagine a black haired Medaka Kurokami from Medaka Box.
Thank you for reading the second chapter. Sorry for the delay, but college is quite literally kicking my ass six ways to Sunday. I've gotten Naruto's weapons all sorted out, but I'm still having difficulty with the pairing of the story. I honestly have no idea what to make the pairing or if I should even have one to begin with. I probably put out a spin off series once I hit six chapters of the story.
Enough of my rambling, tell me what'cha think in the review section. I'm already working on One of a Kind and Whirlpool Trainer, one of the chapters will definitely be finished by November 16th or both if I'm on a role.
