Author's Note: Ok guys sorry for the long wait for this release I was quite busy with choir practice at my local parish(don't worry guys I am not some overly religious zealot, I really just love music.) and it took me a while to figure how to go about this Evangeline arc though I will be doing this quite differently from the manga.
sunwraith - Well the Danzo part is still a secret but he is an important character to watch out for.
dm5elite007- Well to be honest I like Danzo as a bad guy in the manga more than Madara since Danzo is a bad guy because of his means rather than his actual ambition.
marze09 - Maybe/maybe not hehehe I can't actually tell you without ruining the plot I have in my head.
Alice - Don't worry to be honest I kinda hate the multi-stage power up as well and to answer your question about implanting eyes is no Naruto will never get a bloodline ability implant.
ZxZ Fic Hunter - Well yes its part of his past but...well you'll see.
Keiza Kota - Yes their will be pairings but... well just like what I said to Z you'll see.
Again thank you for your support of this story

Chapter 3: The Will
Both girls walked towards the dorms in awkward silence, Setsuna began to fidget as Konoka did not make any attempt to talk to her. The swordswoman stopped walking when she saw Konoka stop, the brown haired girl turned around and looked at he best friend intensely.
"Se-chan…"
"Hai ojou-sama!" Setsuna replied nervously.
"Please tell me what happened in the past." Setsuna's features softened as she saw Konoka looking at her with pleading eyes, the swordswoman tried to resist but after a while she just sighed and gave up. The swordswoman nodded, and at this the brown haired girl smiled and continued walking towards the dorms. In the middle of their trip the swordswoman's eyes widened and she blushed as Konoka took her hand and dragged her towards the dorms. When the two girls got to Konoka's dorm she led Setsuna in and motioned for her to sit down while she went to the kitchen to prepare some tea. Setsuna took this time to gather her thoughts on what she would tell the other girl about, Setsuna was taken out of her thoughts when Konoka placed the tea gently infront of Setsuna then Konoka sat on the opposite side of the swordswoman. Setsuna was about to start but she sensed multiple presences behind one of the rooms eavesdropping she cleared her throat.
"Negi-sensei, Kagurazaka-san you know its not polite to eavesdrop." The swordswoman calmly called both out as she took a sip of her tea while Asuna and Negi stumbled out of the door. The young teacher and the pigtailed girl sheepishly scratched her head. The swordswoman was about to ask the two if she could have some privacy with Konoka but as if reading her mind Konoka motioned for the other two to seat beside her.
"Its ok Se-chan, Asuna and Negi-kun are my roommates after all." Konoka just smiled while Setsuna just sighed as she began telling about their past together with the new head of security carefully leaving out about what happened on the day of the kidnapping. The swordswoman told Konoka about the pendants that the blond boy gave them as well as how he protected both of them from bullies within the clan house and how he always spared with her while Konoka watched both of them with wide eyes. While the swordswoman was telling the story both the child teacher and Asuna were crying buckets while Konoka herself was tearing up as little by little more memories began to the stories Konoka yawned as she felt sleepy after the long day Setsuna helped the other girl to her room so she can get some sleep.
"Se-chan."
"Hai ojou-sama?"
"I want to go to onii-chan's office early tomorrow morning." The swordswoman smiled at this and just nodded as Konoka fell a sleep. Setsuna walked out of Konoka's room and headed back to the table where Asuna and Negi were talking about something. As she sat down she took out and empty vial and placed it on the table getting the attention of both Negi and Asuna. Negi looked at the vial with wide eyes as he took the empty vial and examining the label on it.
"Sakurazaki-san where did you get this medicine?" He half asked half shouted at the swordswoman, Asuna merely bopped him in the head.
"Quiet, Konoka is sleeping in the other room, what is that anyway?"
"Its called 'Kanjou no Chika'." The swordswoman answered for the young teacher.
"Huh?"
"Its an extremely rare medicine that suppresses emotions in the human brain, its suppose to be one of the most expensive drug and in addition to its value its rarity makes it hard to get one of these."
"Well informed as usual sensei." Making the younger teacher embarrasses as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head then he quickly went back to being serious remembering who showed him the drug.
"Sakurazaki-san why do you have one of these?"
"Its not mine sensei its…"
"Its his right?" Asuna answered for her perceptively.
"Naruto-san?"
"Well yea if you look at it, you said that the medicine represses emotion and that Naruto guy is the only emotionless brick wall here."
"Hey!" Setsuna snapped at Asuna annoyed.
"Calm down, Sakurazaki-san, *cough* but back to the topic he's using it isn't he?" Setsuna looked away from the two then nodded.
"Sakurazaki-san we should stop him! You know the side-effects of the medicine." Negi stood up and Asuna followed suit. Setsuna stopped the teacher by putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yes I know the side effect of the drug but rest assured that due to his circumstances he is unaffected by them." The Swordswoman looked at the child teacher intently, the child teacher just sighed.
"If you say so Sakurazaki-san." Setsuna nodded then began heading to the door. The swordswoman stepped out of the room but before closing the door she looked back at the two.
"Kagurazaka-san Negi-sensei, just call me Setsuna." Asuna grinned while Negi just smiled.
"Only if you call me Asuna." The swordswoman just nodded then closed the door behind her.
oooo
The blond was breathing heavily as his hands were on the tiled wall on the side of the mirror leaning on it for support as he looked at his reflection, his shirt already discarded revealing the markings spreading on his body already reached on his shoulders. The blond took another vial and injected it on his neck, as he felt the effect of the drug he grabbed the brush and ink he took before entering the bathroom and began writing seals on his left arm and after the seals were complete he moved to his right writing the same seals. The blond began making hand seals and focused his chakra on the root of the newly made seals.
"Fuuja Houin (Evil Sealing Method)." Naruto felt the Nine-tails' influence now receding with the seal and the drug working in tandem to suppress the malevolent entity. The blond began washing his face but stopped as he heard a knock, grabbing a simple shirt and putting it on he went to the front door and was surprised to see the library trio standing outside his office/living quarters.
"Konbanwa Namikaze-san the three greeted."
"If I remember correctly you must be Miyazaki, Ayase and Saotome, what are you girls doing here in this hour?" The three girls began to fidget and the blond saw this and invited the three inside as he went to the small kitchen to make some tea. The blond came back to the receiving room and placed the tea on the table infront of the girls.
"What seems to be the problem Miyazaki-san?" The blond questioned then taking a sip of his tea.
"Go on tell him Nodoka." Haruna encouraged her friend, while Yue nodded. Nodoka gathered her courage then gulped.
"Na-Na-Namikaze-san."
"Hmm?"
oooo
Setsuna opened the door to her dorm and was surprised to see both Kaede and Mana sitting infront of the small living room table. Kaede welcomed her roommate back home while Mana merely nodded in her direction after taking a sip of her tea. Setsuna sat infront of the table as well while Kaede offered her some tea to which the swordswoman gratefully took. Mana decided to start by asking the question.
"So Setsuna-san, onii-sama?" The swordswoman sighed and knew that this was going to be a long night.
oooo
"A stalker?" The blond raised an eyebrow at the statement.
"Hai Namikaze-san and there are rumors going around that it mostly targets young woman while others were saying that its no ordinary stalker." Haruna explained.
"Please elaborate." he responded while taking a sip of his tea.
"W-w-well I was walking down s-s-sakura lane and I f-f-felt and heard someone following me but when I l-l-looked back there was no one there. I-I-I tried running but it chased me and whenever I looked back no one was there but I keep hearing footsteps behind me." Nodoka started to sob as she told the blond her problem and Haruna and Yue were comforting her friend. Naruto was deep in thought as he thought about the details the girl gave him. The blond stood up and patted the girl in the head, and said girl looked up as she saw the man nodded to assure her that he will get to the bottom of this. The girls began to leave, but was stopped by the blond as he grabbed his coat.
"Namikaze-san?"
"I'll escort you girls home since its already late."
"Arigatou Namikaze-san!" The three girls bowed in unison.
oooo
"So you are saying that Naruto-san was your missing older brother that vanished seven years ago?" Setsuna nodded at this after telling her roommate about her estranged older brother, of course leaving out the part about the demon.
"Hmm sounds like a premise for a soap opera de-gozaru." Kaede grinned at her roommate, while Setsuna just puffed her cheeks irritated at the two girls. Mana's eyes became serious as she looked at Setsuna.
"Setsuna please explain the demonic aura I saw around Naruto-san." Setsuna almost dropped her tea and Kaede opened one of her eyes to look at the other girl cautiously.
"I-I-I am not at the liberty to say and the information is on a need to know basis if you excuse me I have an appointment early in the morning tomorrow." Setsuna stood up and proceeded to her room.
oooo
The library trio was now walking back to their dorm room being escorted by the head of security via Sakura lane. The blond was looking around for any signs of the trio being followed, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he saw a shadow move along the path which was unnoticed by the trio. Naruto then put a hand on Nodoka's shoulder to which made the trio look to the blond and finally follow his line of sight. The blond gently lead the three aside as he went infront to see who it is. Upon getting to the front of the bush the blond's arm dove down the bush and grabbed something out of it and threw it near the light post. The three was surprised to see a boy groaning as he was trying to get up from being slammed into a light post.
"Sora-kun?" Haruna started.
"Sempai!" The boy bowed low towards the bespectacled girl.
"Ehhhhhhhh!" The two other girls were surprised that their friend knew the stalker.
"Sora-kun, you're the stalker?" The boy shook his head in denial.
"No! No! No you you got it al wrong sempai."
"Then what were you doing in the bushes?" Naruto cut in as he examined the boy.
"I was trying to get sempai to take me as her apprentice, but…I felt a cold chill run on my back so I though that someone was following me so I quickly ducked into the bushes to see who was following me… anyways gomen Haruna-sempai!" The boy once again bowed his head low trying to apologized to the bespectacled girl.
"Maa maa that's fine Sora-kun, I'll be glad to take you as an apprentice so I'll take your contact number…" The blond security head tuned out the conversation between the two manga artist as he continued to survey the area.
"Namikaze-san?" Nodoka asked as she observed the older boy to be on the edge.
"Do not worry Miyazaki-san I will escort all four of you home safely" as he ruffled Nodoka's head while the said girl just blushed at the contact with the older boy. The group continued on the path dropping of the younger boy on the way to the girl's dormitory. The library trio continued talking to each other while Nodoka was stealing glanced at the older blond while blushing then looking away, While the group neared the girl's dormitory the blond sensed something lurking around.
"Na-Na-Namikaze-san would you like to come in for some tea?"Nodoka asked the older blond.
"Thank you but I would have to decline your offer." Naruto just bowed to the girl and walked away from the dorm. After a few more minutes of walking the boy stopped and finally looked around.
"I know you're out there McDowell-san, Kakuri-san." As soon as the boy said this said people appeared out of the shadows revealing themselves to the blond.
"You're good, for actually detecting us." Evangeline walked towards the blond.
"Why are you following the students?" The blond questioned while still eyeing the vampire girl.
"That is none of your concern Namikaze."
"No, it is my concern since it involves the safety of the students and I won't let you compromise that." with a wave of his hand a small knife slid out of his sleeve and took a defensive stance against the vampire.
"We won't fight tonight but I am warning you Namikaze don't get in the way." The blond straightened himself and retracted the knife back into his sleeve he began walking away from the duo then stopped as he said.
"If it harms the students, teachers or the campus in anyway then you leave me no choice." The blond continued walking away.
"Then next time we meet on the battlefield I will kill you."
oooo
Next Morning….
"What are you doing here?" The blond felt a headache coming on as he saw 4 people on the kitchen area of his office. Konoka was cooking breakfast with Setsuna helping her, while Asuna was sleeping with her head on the table and her arms used a a pillow for it while Negi was working on his lesson plan. As soon as Konoka heard the blond spoke she turned around and smiled at the blond and greeted him and Setsuna and Negi did the same,
"Ohayou onii-chan/sama!"
"Good morning Naruto-san."
"Yo." while Asuna lazily greeted the blond in the room.
"Ohayou, now would you please tell me what you are doing in here so early in the morning?" Asuna let out a lazy yawn as she began answering the blond.
"Well Konoka here decided she wanted to cook breakfast at your place aka the security department, so of course Setsuna came along as well as Negi and so that I don't miss breakfast, I followed them." The blond began inhaling and exhaling softly while rubbing the bridge of his nose trying to prevent the incoming headache. The blond turned around and left the kitchen then the 4 looked at him with worried expressions on their faces, Setsuna decided to follow him towards the exit of the office.
"Onii-sama where are you going breakfast is almost ready."
"Setsuna, why did you let Konoka come here? I don't want to put anymore burden on her shoulders." Setsuna's fist tightened as the blond talked.
"Onii-sama to you it may seem like ignorance is a bliss but to Kono-chan having no memories of you is heavier than you can imagine." The blond stopped and Setsuna followed him grabbing his hand but upon contact the blond pulled his hand away as he grabbed his head as the pain coursed though, Setsuna noticed this and soon worried about his older brother.
"Onii-sama."
"I… I have to go." The blond began walking towards the main school building and to the dean's office leaving a worried Setsuna behind.
Once Naruto knew that he was out of sight he began stumbling and his vision blurring he suddenly felt himself falling to the ground but a sleeved hand suddenly stopped his fall. Naruto looked to his right and saw the older teacher Takamichi preventing him from falling to the ground. Takamichi silently slung the boy's hand around his shoulder and helped him get to his destination.
"Thanks…" Muttered Naruto before he lost consciousness.
oooo
The blond opened his eyes and saw that his clothes were already replaced with a hospital gown, he looked around the room worried of what happened to him memories of the night before came back as another headache occurred making the blond hold his head in pain. Then someone came in and approached the blond holding out two pills and a cup of water, Naruto not looking up grabbed the pills and swallowed it and downed the water. The pain was slowly but surely receding, he looked up and saw three other people in the room; a woman with glasses Minamoto, Shizuna , The older teacher Takamichi and finally the old headmaster.
"Ho ho ho you had us worried there Naruto-kun."
"Gomen Headmaster." The headmaster nodded at the other teacher.
"Naruto-kun would you mind showing us the seals?" The blond just shook his head and took off his medical gown revealing red runes forming a circle in the middle of his chest and black kanji seals were distorted going into the circle. The older teacher's eyes widened as he saw the seals on the blond's body and the nurse was shocked at the sight while the headmaster just ran a hand down his beard and began examining the seal array.
"Hmm this sealing method is astounding it stops both the side effect of the drug as well as the influence."
"So its the perfect seal?" The bespectacled teacher asked.
"No, far from it Takamichi-kun, you see this seal though powerful has one flaw…it is controlled by the user's will and if I remember correctly from what Eishun told me was that the beast feeds on emotions more specifically hate. Now the seal on his chest only prevents the influence of the beast from spreading but it does not prevent the boy from feeling the emotion so…"
"That's where the drug comes in." Shizuna's eyes widened at the revelation.
"Exactly, but even with that the seal is not perfect isn't it Naruto-kun?" The blond nodded at the headmaster's question.
"Aa, the main downside of this system is that the drug has to be taken in specific doses, and once the effect of the drug wears off the seal begins to waver due to the influx of emotions nulling the effects of the seal and letting the influence spread. The fox's influence now as you can see has already spread to this degree even with the Fuuja Houin." The blond pulled back the sleeve of his hospital gown revealing the warped black kanji seals that leads to the circle of red runes on his chest.
"That's just cruel." Shizuna was beginning to tear up at the blond's situation.
"It will eventually take over and when that time comes I wan't the two of them to end it as they possess enough magical power to do the job." Old man Konoe's eyes narrowed at the boy's implication then a loud smack resounded in the room as the other two saw Takamichi give the boy a hard slap, Naruto's eyes widened as he felt the force of the slap on his face leaving a mark.
"You fool." Takamichi revealed an expression he rarely shows…anger.
"Takahata-san."
"You're wiling to place this responsibility on both of them? are you mad boy? Do you really expect those two will do that to you?" Takamichi confronted the blond anger evident on his expression. For the first time Naruto found himself unable to respond to the older teacher.
"I have to agree with Takamichi-kun, Naruto-kun you can't place that responsibility on them, there should be another way to repress the thing's influence."
oooo
A week has past since the incident between Takamichi and Naruto, the blond still can't look the older teacher in the eye as he remembered his words, patrolling the school grounds to take his mind away from Takamichi's words. While patrolling though rumors of a vampire attacking students were running rampant as one of the students Sasaki, Makie was attacked and was found on Sakura lane. The blond was frowning at the implication of these events and only meant one thing Evangeline was taking the offensive to draw out the son of the thousand master, and from his impression of the boy in question he would not take his students getting hurt lying down. Naruto finished his patrol around the school grounds and proceeded to head back to his office.
Upon arriving at the office the blond went directly to his quarters and took the drug out of his closet. Loading the auto-injector he used the device letting the needle go on the right side of his neck, the blond sighed as he felt the substance enter his blood stream. The blond looked at the wall clock as he decided to pay a visit to one of his sources and get information about Evangeline and what she wants with the son of the thousand master.
Later that night, Nodoka was walking down Sakura lane convinced that the stalker has already been caught and this was the fastest way back to the dorms. The winds were making the girl nervous as the cold air penetrated though her jacket. The blue haired girl looked up the moon and she smiled as she admired how pretty it is but her thoughts were cut short when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Student Number 27, sorry but I need to take some of your blood tonight." A black clad figure came down to attack the girl resulting with the girl fainting. figure was about to bite into the girl's neck when she felt an influx of energy coming towards her. The vampire scrawled as she jumped away from the body of the young girl.
"Nodoka-san!" The child teacher ran towards the fallen student but he blushed as he saw the state of her dress. The child teacher removed his jacket and tried to cover the semi-naked girl in his arms. Negi glared at the figure then after a few seconds the figure began jumping away from the child teacher he was about to give chase until a voice startled him.
"Ahh Negi-kun is the vampire!" The teacher panicked as Asuna and Konoka came towards the child teacher.
"Asuna-san please take care of Nodoka-san!" The child teacher ran off to chase the black clad figure leaving Nodoka in Asuna's care.
"Oi wait what do I do! Damn brat!" The orange haired girl hurried towards the closest structure in Sakura lane, the security department HQ. Upon arriving Konoka and Asuna saw Setsuna behind one of the desk finishing up some reports. The swordswoman stopped her work as she saw the two carrying an unconscious Nodoka, she rushed to the two and escorted them into the training room.
"Set-chan, where's onii-chan?" The swordswoman just shook her head negatively.
"I haven't seen him since his morning patrol. Ojou-sama what happened to Nodoka-san?" Asuna answered for her while she grabbed one of the pillows near her and placed it under Nodoka's head.
"It seems the brat is chasing the culprit as we speak."
oooo
Negi was breathing heavily as he fired off multiple spells only for it to be nullified by the black clad figure, Negi finally fired two spells in succession taking the figure by surprise and blowing it away and slamming to one of the vending machines. The child teacher was surprised to see who the culprit is.
"Evangeline-san!" The blond girl stood up groaning as she felt the impact of the last attack.
"Kukuku well done Negi-sensei I must say I am impressed to see someone so young and yet full of magical power, you really are his son."
"Evangeline-san why are you doing this?"
"There are two types of mage in this world Negi-sensei a good one and finally an evil one what kind do you think I am." Negi's eyes widened as he saw Evangeline threw the vials at him at the same time chanted and incantation. Reacting quickly the child teacher aimed his staff at Evangeline and fired off another spell.
"Its over Evangeline-san."
"Oh but the fun is just the beginning." The small blond snapped her fingers and another figure emerged from the darkness, Negi was about to chant a spell when somebody flicked his head effectively stopping his chant. The child teacher's eyes went wide when he saw who flicked his head.
"Chachamaru-san!"
"I'm sorry Negi-sensei but I cannot go against master's orders." Negi was about the chant another spell when Chachamaru once again flicked his head, Negi rubbed his head as comical tears sprang from his eyes.
"Hahahahaha You cannot fight us alone Negi especially without a partner. Now Chachamaru get the boy so I can drink his blood an finally be free off this god forsaken academy." The robot just nodded and was about to take action but was suddenly blown away by a punch, Evangeline narrowed her eyes at the offender.
"I told you before McDowell-san If your plan involves harming the students, teachers or the campus itself then I will interfere, I will not allow any more victims." The child teacher looked up at the blond head of security.
"And I will say the same to you next time we meet on the battlefield I will kill you. Chachamaru, use maneuver alpha." the vampire commanded while still glaring at the blond.
"Affermative master." The robot partner took off to attack the blond but her attacks were deflected which resulted in her getting hit in the stomach. The blond saw a vial coming his way he promptly dodge but was assaulted by Chachamaru in the process taking a hit from the robot. The blond boy stood up and observed his position between Negi and the two girls attacking him. Chachamaru started another assault the blond was once again on the defensive but was keeping both the vampire and the robot a distance away from the child teacher. Naruto's eyes suddenly widened as he felt pain in his head, the robot seeing the opening did a low round house kick knocking the blond down. The blond grabbed his head in pain, Chachamaru taking advantage of the distraction once more pulled her fist back to finish the blond off. The robot was surprised when he saw a hand stopping her punch, not allowing an opening on her defense she jumped back. The blond stood up with one hand still covering his face but now his mouth contorted into a maniacal grin as he began to chuckle and then let out a full blown laugh.
"!" The blond continued laughing now scaring the child teacher as well. The vampire's eyes widened as she saw symbols crawling up to the blond face from his body. After a few moments the blond stopped laughing but the maniacal grin never left him. The blond man lets the hand covering his face go as he opened his eyes revealing red slitted eyes.
"I must thank you McDowell-san for setting me free. It seems that the stress of his internal struggle finally paid off keeping him from that medicine, and all I needed was one more push." The vampire now has a clearer view of the blond as she saw black kanji seals on his face giving him a more demonic look.
"And who would have thought that you would give that push."
"Don't kid yourself with your fake theatrics boya. Chachamaru execu..." The vampire girl was suddenly cut off when the demonic looking blond was suddenly infront of her.
"I think you're the one that is disillusioned into thinking that you can kill me, vampire." The blond grabbed the vampire's neck lifting her up. Chachamaru was stunned as she was trying to analyze this new enemy.
"Y…you? who are you?" The blond's grip on the vampire girl's throat.
"Kyuubi." The blond's maniacal grin just widened as he grabbed Evangeline's arm and pulled it out getting the vampire blood on his face. Chachamaru's eyes widened for the first time.
"MASTER!"
oooo
A/N: Well won't that traumatize Negi. hehehehe anyways As I was writing this chapter I finished the series Legend of the Legendary Heroes and I thought to myself that the berserk state of the Alpha Stigma user is the best kind of berserk state. I don't know there is something about a berserk state in which the guy has a maniacal grin rather than a beast like rage. Btw if you did not notice that the reason I came up with the sibling thing with Konoka, Naruto, and Setsuna is because this year seems to be the year of incest. There are soo many anime that came out this year that focuses on incest or a sub-theme is incest naming some are Yosuga no Sora (Yes one of the best dramas of this year), Oreno Imouto, KissxSis, Aki Sora, Legend of the Legendary Heroes (Yes there is an underlying theme of incest between the Eris siblings), Hyakka Ryoukan Samurai Girls, etc. and before I forget I put up a poll on my profile page so please vote. Again thank you for your support on this fic Happy Holidays and see you next year.
