AN: Hello everyone my name is Vongola Maelstrom! As the co-author of this story I'd personally like to thank everyone who reviewed last chapter. Sunwraith and I were pleasantly surprised to see that our story is so popular right from the start!

I also want to inform you guys that the timeline in this story is slightly different from canon Negima. Your probably confused by what I mean at the moment, but you'll understand by the end of the chapter.

Also if there are any Reborn fans out there, I am currently writing a Naruto crossover with Reborn called "Something Worth Fighting For." Please go and check it out when you get a chance.

One final thing. Sunwraith and I have decided to keep the pairing secret for the moment, so you guys will just have to keep reading to find out.

*Sorry to intrude, but Sunwraith here, I want to say that We do not own the series that had inspired Naruto's moves.*

DISCLAIMER: WE DO NOT OWN NEGIMA OR NARUTO, OR THEIR CHARACTERS…

All was quiet in the Hellas Empire. Since the war had ended five years ago nothing much has happened. The peace and prosperity had people happy and well. Even the rather hot headed Theodora third princess of the empire, who usually caused trouble, had been quiet for a long time. This had surprised people to a certain degree and they were willing to take it. This happy silence was broken on a day most people would want to forget.

At the large extravagant castle where the royal family lived, with its large spires and multiple floors, a very large explosion could be heard, shattering all the windows. The staff within the castle sighed at what was happening. "Get back here and gives those back you little twerp!" screeched the voice of none other than said third princess. A pair of guard's in front of the throne room shook their heads when they saw a small dark blur run past them, followed by their princess. She was garbed in a short black battle skirt and a matching corset, with a garter being attached to black stockings. Her skin was a nice tan and her long blond hair flowed in the wind. This was the 15 year old (3 year old in Hellian years) princess Theodora.

"Twerp! I may seem nine but I'm fifteen! You're only older by a little bit!" a young male voice retorted back. The person she was chasing was a lot shorter than her, probably a good foot and a half. Loose white silk pants covered his legs, accompanied by black boots with matching fingerless gloves on his hands. Theodore caught site of his red T-shirt under his long hooded white coat, and in his hand was a small brown package. The hood was on his head, but she still knew who this idiot was.

"I don't care if you're five year older than me or if I'm twenty years older than you! Just give me back what you stole!" the princess thundered as the two rounded a corner and sped down a long corridor.

"I would if I could but this is training!" the boy shouted back. He slid under a large sofa being moved by two servants and righted himself as he passed it by.

"Guards seize that twerp!" Theodora shouted as she ran under the sofa as well. The fugitive looked in front of him and saw five armored figures standing at the end of the hallway, lances at the ready to fight him. The boy's lips turned into a smirk as he saw them.

"Sorry guys but you're in my way!" he said jovially as he ran towards them. The figure stopped in front of the one directly in the middle and pulled back his left fist, the package in his right. An orange aura engulfed him, and when he felt a small pulse within it, he punched the guard. Right after it connected, he sent a barrage of five more, lifting the person into the air. Following his opponent, the thief did another five punches encased in the orange aura, sending him back even more. The thief finished doing another flurry of punches leaving the person suspended in the air. For every hit that had connected, more of the orange aura had burst forth from his fist. As the thief touched the ground, the armor of the guard in mid air broke down and was sent spiraling into the wall behind him. All of this happening within the time span of twenty seconds.

Then with a smooth flick of his left wrist, the thief conjured up three dark crimson orbs that floated above him sending a barrage of energy projectiles that stunned his opponents and knocked them out. Smiling at his handy work, the thief nodded before feeling some killing intent aimed at him. Looking behind him, he saw the princess gain ground on his position. "Damn," the thief cursed and began to run again. Running down a corridor, he talked aloud as he ran. "Hey where are you?"

'I'm in the position you told me to be waiting at you dumbass. Where are you?' a rather impatient male voice stated.

"Running down the corridor right now, Theodora is still on my tail." The thief stopped talking for a moment when he saw another group of guards in front of him.

"Halt!" the one in the middle shouted. Mentally cursing the idiot who made him do this sort of training, the thief jumped up in to the air. He seemingly was going to land right in front of where the guards were standing, but then kicked off the air giving him a second jump and landed right behind them in crouch before taking off in a mad dash. This left the guards in a confused state seeing as he didn't attack him.

"What are you idiots doing gawking there! After him! He stole some precious item!" Theodora shouted, her face growing redder by the second due to her fury. Not wanting to end up on the wrong end of the stick when the princess was furious, they ran after the thief.

The thief in question hit a four way intersection at the halls. Taking a chance to see where his pursuers were, he looked over his shoulder. There they were only twenty feet behind him, with a very furious princess in the lead. As he passed the intersection he dropped the package and kept running. Theodora sighed in relief, seeing the person they were chasing drop the thing he stole. Just as the group got within five feet of it, a red blur shot out from the left side and darted down the adjacent corridor. Theodora's jaw dropped at what just happened.

"You have got to be kidding me!" she shouted into the air. "How can I forget about the twerp's partner! After that fox!" So once again the chase was on.

The fox being chased, had dark red fur with black patches on the paws, tips of the tail, ears and snout. The thing that set it apart was that it had two tails instead of one. In it's mouth was the brown package its partner was holding onto only a few seconds ago. It skillfully dodged left and right as it ran, evading magical arrows being sent his way. Arriving at another intersection, it stopped moving all together. Theodora didn't want to get her hopes up, in case of anything bad were to happen. Just as she thought it, the thief ran by, grabbed the fox placing it on his shoulder and ran down the corridor. As the guards and the disgruntled princess arrived at the intersection, they saw the boy going towards a stained glass window. In his right hand, black and purple colored electricity began to flow as magic filled the air. An orb the size of a basketball and the same color as the electricity then appeared in his hand. The thief then through it forward with a shout of "Aura Ball!" The orb of darkness collided with the window, destroying it and a good portion of the wall as well. The thief and his partner then jumped out of the window, and with an audible popping noise Theodora knew they just teleported.

"Damn it!" she huffed and stomped her feet. "I need to get that back before he gets back to his master..."

"What is it that he stole princess?" one guard bravely asked.

"He stole something rather personal to me..." Theodora stated with a defeated sigh, as she walked over to the wall, and looked over the vast city she was in.

(Unknown Alley Way)

A large sky blue ring appeared on the floor of a seedy alley, and with a popping noise the thief and his fox companion materialized into the alley. Landing on one knee the thief let out a sigh of relief. "Well damn, wasn't that just stupid. I don't see how stealing a pair of underwear from Theodora is going to help me train," the thief whined. He pulled down his hood, to reveal an older looking Naruto at the scrawny age of nine. However, compared to his past time when he was nine he had more muscle this time around thanks to the training of Jack Rakan, for the past three years. He sat down on the ground and leaned against the wall of the building behind him. "I mean seriously? What's the point of stealing some girl's underwear? It's just sick and wrong."

"Kit, it functions the same way as your old Sexy no Jutsu. That was to distract guys, this one is used to distract girls," the fox on his shoulder told him.

"Still sick and wrong on so many levels Kyuubi," Naruto mumbled his response. "I don't see what's so special about it! I mean both the old geezer and Ero-sennin are like this."

"You may be fifteen, yet you still think with a twelve year old mind kit." Kyuubi stretched and curled itself on his shoulders, giving a small yawn. "Well, if you need me...don't wake me." Naruto frowned as he got up and walked out of the alley.

"Yeah go to sleep while I walk miles home why don't ya." Naruto checked to make sure he still had the package on him before setting off towards the desert. "Though you could feel the sexual tension between Theodora and Rakan when they see each other. But that is just nasty thinking about it...I mean he's like 50 something and she's only in her teens." When the image popped up into his mind, Naruto ran over to a trashcan and puked out the contents of his stomach. "Guh..I have to stop doing that." Shuddering as the remnants of the image stained his mind, he decided to run as fast as he can to get to the small oasis in the desert he called home, before another disturbing image appeared in his brain.

(Time skip 5 hours-Rakan's Home)

Naruto walked through the shifting veil that he had to learn to put up onto the place he has come to call home for the past three years. During the entire trip back Naruto had thought about what had happened since his arrival in the magical world. The day right after he was accepted as Rakan's "apprentice", Naruto was rudely awakened at 4 in the morning in order to run laps around the area. At first Naruto thought he meant the oasis, but he was sadly mistaken and was forced to run from the oasis to a nearby city, which was a good five miles and back. Naruto had promptly given up on the run back. This was then followed up by a hellish amounts of push ups, sit ups, endurance training and various other things Rakan could think of to increase his physical abilities to a large degree. This man's work ethic put that of Might Gai's to shame. The crazy old geezer worked him to the ground on daily basis, save for when they ran out of money. When that happened they took him to a casino in some other country and basically made them give up their money to him. Lady luck was just on his side apparently.

It wasn't until his second year of training that he started learning magic. Rakan and Kyuubi snorted when they thought he should learn the basics. Heck they only spent one day on teaching him that, drilling it into him until he actually knew what to do. The following proceeded with the trio trying to find the right type of magic to teach Naruto. They had gone to several books stores to find the right one to match up with his personality. Each time there was a failure, they were nearly run out of the store by the owner, who was screaming bloody murder when the blond burnt several ancient texts. The only reason they were allowed back into those stores was because Rakan new the people.

It was on the second week of searching they found two tomes that had gotten Naruto's interest, as well as it hasn't met the catastrophe known as Naruto yet. Both were bound with thick leather one black with violet letters the other white with golden letters. Naruto opened the white bound book first that had the words "Tome of Heroes" on it. It had detailed instructions to the moves of several heroes from all across time and the various lands, how it got there no one knows. The black one was called the "Tome of Villains" which was almost the same as the other book, except had the magic and abilities of several villains listed down. When they asked to buy it, the owner stated that it's a two for one deal, seeing as they were both missing half it's content each.

From that point on, they added various magic training to his already large amount of physical training. Rakan decided to teach him weapon handling as well seeing as some of the moves from within the tomes required weapon skills. From what Naruto had learn in those two years, he considered himself rather...mediocre at his skills. But that was okay, he was training for only two years. It was also during this time Naruto had experienced his first kill. A group of assassins had been planning on killing a representative from Ostia. Rakan and himself had went to fend them off. When one of the people got close to the representative, Naruto reacted and stabbed him through the heart with a blade. The blond couldn't stomach his food for days, and was balling. He had just taken the life of another person, and it got to him bad. Rakan and Kyuubi did their best to comfort him, and with time Naruto got better, but the sting of killing was still fresh in his mind and that gut wrenching feeling of taking a life never left him, and Rakan told him that its okay. If he didn't feel anything when he killed, that was when Naruto should worry.

Rakan also took this time to teach Naruto about the advanced technology in the world. Compared to his home where the most advanced piece of technology were old computers with green and black screens, this world was so advanced that Naruto almost couldn't handle it at first. But little by little he had gotten used to the tech of this world.

That was when the fact that he wasn't in his world anymore finally registered in his brain. It wasn't that he didn't like this world, he actually loved it here. He was just homesick from time to time, thinking about how his friends were doing now and what Jiji was doing. He wondered if they still remembered him, if Lee was still as crazy as he was, if Sasuke was still obsessing over his revenge, if Sakura still had a crush on Sasuke. Naruto sighed and shook his head; he hadn't made any leeway on finding a way home either. Going from library to library, he had no luck on finding anything on inter-dimensional travel. Now the only thing he had left of his home world was the hitai-ate tied to his forehead, and Kyuubi.

Speaking of the Kyuubi, which Naruto calls Kyuu from time to time, they no longer had a strange relationship of hate, but more of an older brother-younger brother relationship. They would bicker and argue a lot, even wrestle but it was all fun and games to them. Slowly after two years the twenty feet proximity requirement to each other had disappeared and they were free to roam around on their own, however Kyuubi got so used to his perch on Naruto's shoulders that it became his favorite spot to nap. Naruto also figured out that he has to allow Kyuubi an amount of tails that he can use. Making Naruto the limiter to Kyuubi's power.

Sighing he decided to stop mulling over the past and focus on the present. Walking through the ruins surrounding the oasis he found his sensei looking over the water, his arms crossed in thought. "Well, isn't this new," Kyuubi said waking up. "You seem to be thinking at the moment. What's the matter Rakan?"

"Heh," the old man turned around and smirked at them. "We got a mission."

"We?" Naruto asked almost incredulously, but the excitement on his face showed how much he's been waiting for this. "You mean I get to go with you?" Rakan nodded still smirking. A smile that stretched from ear to ear appeared on Naruto's face as he began to run around in circles whooping and hollering about how he finally gets to do something cool for once. Kyuubi shook his head and jumped from the blond's shoulder onto that of Rakan's.

"So what's the mission going to be?" Kyuubi asked.

"Not sure yet. We're going to be meeting up with some of my old friends for the info," Rakan replied. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks and looked at Rakan with stars in his eyes.

"You mean I get to meet Nagi and the rest of the Ala Rubra?" Naruto asked, barely containing the massive amount of awe within his voice.

"Kid must be excited," Kyuubi noted with a chuckle.

"How come you weren't that excited about meeting me?" Rakan said with anime tears rolling down his face cheeks.

"The moment I learned you were a slave driver when it comes to hard work, the awe really washes away," Naruto responded with his eyes closed. "But then again, I'm a hard worker just like yourself so that's why I wasn't so mesmerized. But now I get to meet the hero of the magical world, The Thousand Master!" Naruto kept walking around and ranting on about how cool this was going to be.

"You know you shouldn't have said that we're meeting your friends. Now that idiot won't shut up on the entire trip to wherever we are going," Kyuubi muttered to Rakan. The man in response just chuckled and shook his head.

"No it's fine. It's always good to see that kid happy like this, its gives off this uplifting feeling," Rakan replied with a smile as he watched the boy bounce around the entire area, full of joy.

(Scene change)

A few hours ago, Naruto and the Kyuubi had met the members of Ala Rubra. There was Albireo Imma, a sarcastic mage who uses gravity and the team medic (reminded Naruto of Kakashi a bit); Eishun Konoe, a stoic master swordsman from the real world (reminded Naruto a little bit of Ebisu); an old man name Gatou Vanderburg who smokes and has an odd fighting style (reminded Naruto of the old man hokage) along with his apprentice Takamichi Takahata (reminded Naruto of Shikamaru's sensei...what was his name again? Naruto could never remember his name); and lastly there was the man himself, Nagi Springfield, the Thousand Master (Kyuubi muttered something about being a male version of a certain red head, confusing Naruto).

They had willingly accepted him no questions asked, though they seemed like an odd bunch of people, Naruto didn't mind the atmosphere they had given off. A bunch of friendly people who seemed to not to have a care in the world, even though the weight of the world rested on their shoulders from time to time. Naruto couldn't stop laughing when Nagi tried to pet Kyuubi, only for the fox to bite the poor man's finger. The red head wouldn't stop crying about it for minutes. But that was hours ago.

Now they were protecting a tower within Vesperia where a certain "Princess of the Dusk" was. He was put into a group with Takamichi and himself. They were to run interference on the ground on the West side. Rakan took the South, while Kyuubi (Four Tails) had the East. Gatou the North. Nagi, Al and Eishun all went to the tower.

"Naruto-kun!" Takamichi shouted. This had gotten the attention of the blond. "Their coming!" Looking up Naruto saw black demon like birds, with black feathers covering them and large talons.

"Got it! Bakamichi stand next to me!" His fellow apprentice jumped back and stood back to back with him. Four points on the ground around them were lit with a dark purple light. As the demons came closer Naruto shouted, "Particle Beam: Anti-Air!" A pillar of black and purple energy shot out from each of the four points of light. Those who got close to them were instantly destroyed. Looking over his shoulder, Naruto nodded his head and the older boy ran forward towards the rampaging monsters coming towards them.

The white haired man put his hands into his pockets, and seemingly punched the monsters from a far. They all staggered back and dispersed. This had Naruto whistling.

"Damn Bakamichi that was pretty cool."

"Can you please stop calling me that Naruto-kun," Takamichi sweat dropped. "And that was nothing compared to my sensei's skill."

"Hey I'm practically the same way." Naruto waved his left hand and a barrage of silver energy hit the demons from the back and pulled them closer to him. Naruto then began to generate electricity through both hands, before swinging them forward at the demons that were hit by the silver energy. "Cosmic Ray!" He let the electricity free from his hands with a crack, destroying five demons in the process. "Sadly though my moves aren't exactly the same as his."

"It's okay Naruto-kun," Takamichi replied while destroying a few demons. "It makes you different from him. Besides having a copy of that man would have been bad. I like to think of you as of now as the one and only Naruto Uzumaki. My friend." Takamichi did a punch and destroyed yet another demon.

"Thanks Bakamichi, that means a lot," Naruto smirked. The blond let the same orange aura cover him again, before doing five punches to the demon in front of him, before kicking it upward with three kicks, and finishing it with a single punch sending it crashing into a group of demons.

"By the way Naruto-kun. Why do you keep calling me Bakamichi?" Takamichi asked.

"It's my nickname for you. Besides you're like me aren't you? We both have no talent in what we do, so we're both idiots!" Naruto laughed before sending a small fire into a group of demons lighting them ablaze, but not strong enough to destroy them. He followed it up by sending down a small iceberg, and finished the move with a barrage of lightning. Takamichi couldn't help but laugh at the boy's reasoning. The two kept at it, Naruto protecting Takamichi's back and the older man doing the same thing with him.

Suddenly the two were forced to stop fighting as a giant tremor shook the ground. This caused several demons to stop as well to regain balance. The pair of freedom fighters looked up and saw a giant glowing demon in front of them. "Don't think Nagi and the others could get here fast enough right?" Naruto asked.

"Nope." This caused Naruto to sigh and curse.

"Well damn, I didn't want to use this move. I haven't gotten it perfected yet." Naruto sighed.

"What move are you talking about Naruto-kun?" Takamichi asked. Naruto didn't respond but closed his eyes. The orange aura that he continuously used to power up his attacks engulfed his body, and blinded Takamichi. When the light died down Takamichi saw that Naruto had transformed. He looked more monstrous than some of the things they were fighting. Naruto skin had become increasingly tanned, more so than his master's color. His shirt was gone showing off his torso but it was more muscled than what a 9 year old should have. His shoulders were broader and had monstrous spikes coming from the left shoulder. His left arm had become large and clawed. His right arm had become clawed as well, but it didn't enlarge. Down the sides of his right leg, were the same spikes. Naruto's hair had become a snow white and had gained length going past his shoulder blades. But what scared Takamichi were his eyes. The sclera had become black and the irises a pure white with no pupils.

"Damn..." Naruto muttered. "Still not used to this. Transformation still hurts a bit."

"Naruto-kun. What happened?"

"Not now. I'll explain after I handle that guy." Naruto pointed at the large demon in front of them. Naruto went into a crouch, and then jumped up into the sky. He passed the demon in height before stopping in midair. The orange aura surrounded him again, but wisps of black mixed into it. When the demon looked at him and raised his arm to attack, Naruto shot forward with his enlarged left arm in front of him. Flames ignited around him and he slammed into the demon's throat, choking it. He pushed it back with all his might while letting loose a loud roar. "Triumphant Grasp!" Naruto stopped choking it, before giving it a punch full of his energy dispelling it. When it was gone Naruto landed next to Takamichi, and transformed back into himself. He was out of breath and was greedily taking in large amounts of oxygen.

"Naruto-kun are you alright!" Takamichi asked hurrying to his side. Naruto nodded as he tried to calm himself down. "What did you do?"

"I went into EX mode," Naruto finally answered when he was able to. "One of four I can currently use, out of the ten available for me to learn. That was Final Aeon mode. I gain more strength and certain abilities, different for each form. Sadly I can only use one for three minutes at a time, and have to wait ten minutes to use them again. That one I just needed to use because I needed an over powering attack to destroy that thing." Naruto then started to laugh. "But man that was a rush. I mean did you see that! I was almost flying!"

"You sure are a weird one Naruto-kun," Takamichi laughed alongside the blond. When they calmed down, they saw a large blast of red energy from the East going into the sky destroying several of the giant demons. Takamichi was trembling a little bit. "That is a lot of demonic energy..."

"Heh, that's only half of Kyuu's power sadly," Naruto sighed. "He can't go full power or else I'll go into a coma."

"What do you mean Naruto-kun?"

"Last time he went nine tails I was out for a month. Seems like my bond to his energy is rather strong, and I get the strain from it if he uses too much. Or that's what the old geezer told me," Naruto sighed. The two saw a ball of light being shot into the air and raised their eyebrows. When it reached its apex it burst into a firework with an image of a chibi Nagi doing a victory sign. This caused the two apprentices to sweat drop. "Well, ain't someone arrogant."

"Hehehe, yes Nagi-san has always been like that. But it seems as if we won."

"Sweet," Naruto said with a cheeky grin. Naruto got up shakily and almost fell, but Takamichi came to his aid. Naruto leaned onto his new friend for support. "Have you ever teleported before?"

"Um...no"

"Did you have dinner awhile back?"

"No? Why does it matter Naruto-kun?" Naruto shook his head and concentrated some magic to form around them. A sky blue ring appeared beneath their feet.

"Just asking," Naruto laughed. The two then fell into the ring and Takamichi let out a scream, before they disappeared from sight with a pop.

(Within the tower)

"That apprentice of yours is keeping my apprentice," Gatou said as he smoked his cigarette. He was looking at Rakan as the man leaned against the wall.

"Tch, I bet it's your apprentice that is causing my apprentice to get here late," Rakan shot back.

"Takamichi is always on time. Your apprentice may have taken up your habits on being late."

"Please he's rarely late to anything, the only thing he does is whine and complain but he's at his destination at the right time. Naruto is punctual like that." Rakan and Gatou glared at each other and the rest of the Ala Rubra could see lightning clash in between the space they were glaring.

"Do you think we should stop them, I mean before they start to fight around here?" Albireo asked Nagi in a whisper.

"If that is how people will act if they have an apprentice, I don't want one then," Nagi stated. The argument started to escalate and it seemed like the two were about to start casting spells when Rakan stopped. He stared at the floor as a sky blue ring appeared. From out of the ring Naruto and Takamichi appeared. Naruto holding onto Takamichi for support, and Takamichi screaming like a girl.

"You can stop screaming now Bakamichi," Naruto laughed. Takamichi looked around and saw that they were with the rest of Ala Rubra. Clearing his throat Takamichi looked away with a blush on his cheeks. Naruto and the rest of the group chuckled. "You took that pretty well though. Most people faint when they experience that kind of teleportation."

"Good you guys could make it. What took you so long?" Gatou asked.

"Sorry I lost some power before teleporting here," Naruto apologized.

"So it was you're fault you were late?"

"You could say that." Naruto saw Gatou smirk at Rakan, and Rakan just rolled his eyes. "So did you save the princess, Nagi?"

"Of course I did!" Nagi said puffing out his chest. "What type of hero would I be if I couldn't?"

"A terrible one if you ask me," Kyuubi, back in his small form, stated as he jumped onto Naruto's shoulder. "Though you have some very impressive skills, I've got to hand that to you."

"That means a lot coming from a fuzz ball," Naruto chuckled. Kyuubi used his tail and whacked Naruto on the back of the head. "OW!"

"So do we get to meet the girl?"

"Yeah she's over here," Nagi lead them to the center of the tower.

'I hope she isn't as bad as Theodora. If she's as crazy, high strung and bossy as her I think I should just leave right now,' Naruto thought. They were led into an open area with several columns holding up the ceiling. Naruto's eyes looked around and landed on the person in the middle of the room.

There was a girl that seemed to be around 7 years old, with white and blue robes. Her orange hair was separated into two pony tails. Her left eye was blue, and the right one was green. He nearly stopped dead in his tracks when he saw how lifeless they were. Naruto began to growl, when he saw chains on the girl's arms and legs. When the group got to the girl Nagi stopped and introduced her to them.

"Guys I would like you to meet, Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia. Asuna this is the Ala Rubra," Nagi stated. Asuna looked at each of them one by one, trying to remember their faces. Naruto blushed when her eyes met his and looked away. "This is where the real mission starts guys. We are going to protect her for a while."

"How long is awhile?" Rakan asked.

"A year or two," Nagi replied nonchalantly as he took off her shackles. Naruto didn't know whether to be happy or irritated.

'Great, a year or two with a girl who makes me blush when I look at her...what the hell does that mean?' Next to him, Kyuubi saw Naruto blushing and smirked.

'Hehehe, well this is cute. The kit thinks someone's pretty. HA! Maybe he'll get over that pink haired banshee at this rate!"
