Good news everyone. No more japanese! (unless you count Jutsu names.)
Plus a really fast update! Originally I was gonna save this chapter for next week but then I thought nah I'll give em something extra for this week.
But with good news comes bad news. Oh wait there is no bad news yay!
Chapter 3: Developing.
It had been two weeks since Robin arrived in Konoha and began looking after Naruto Uzumaki.
By this point the Tactician no longer needed the language book. He'd been able to memorize most of the language by this point.
Adapting to this new culture however, wasn't the easiest thing in the world.
He still didn't understand the purpose of things like the honorifics that people placed at the end of others names. Robin would of just plainly ignored them if it weren't considered disrespectful by some, and there was also the fact that Naruto had started refering to him as 'Robin-nii'
The people of the villiage...he found them somewhat strange.
He had continusly noticed them glaring at Naruto whenever he'd taken the boy out for food, and they occassionly would say things under their breath.
Naruto seemed to just ignore the glares. But that didn't make Robin feel any better about them.
He should probably ask the Hokage about it later.
Speaking of Naruto.
Trying to teach the boy how to read the Tomes turned out to be much harder then Robin anticipated. Naruto wasn't a fast learner either so that made things somewhat harder.
The boy had some knack for strategy atleast. When Robin had found a game that was similer to Chess, he had a game of it with Naruto and the boy was atleast smart enough to try and set up traps...on the fourth game.
But those weren't the only developments with Naruto.
Robin had unwillingly given the boy a sweet tooth that could rival his old comrade Gaius.
*Flashback*
It was early in the morning as Robin continued snoozing, his coat was currently placed on a nearby desk while he slept.
Naruto stumbled through the apartment room having just woken up and noticed the coat lying on the desk.
The boy slowly went toward it as he pondered something.
"Robin-nii almost never has his coat off. I wonder what he keeps in it!" The boy thought as started rummaging through the coats pockets.
After looking through all the coat pockets. Naruto found two things of interest.
The first was a small deck of cards that had pictures of people on them.
The other thing of interest was a small object wrapped in some form of paper.
Curious, Naruto quickly unwrapped the paper to find a small ball shaped object.
It somewhat resembled one of those things he'd seen parents buy for their kids to eat.
Naruto decided to eat the thing after a moment of thought. Completely forgetting that it was Robins.
And so the small ball thing went down his mouth.
And Naruto could of sworn that he'd fallen in love.
Whatever it was tasted wonderful! It was almost as good as Ramen!
"Naruto, what are you doing?"
Turning around. Naruto spotted his caretaker sitting up awake.
"Hehe, Morning Robin-nii!"
*Flashback end*
And that was how Naruto obtained a love for candy.
The more interesting thing to Robin from that moment in time however, had been the cards.
While he had been confused about the candy and cards being in his coat. He figured that it had something to do with the white being.
The cards were known as Einherjar and they contained the spirits of some of the legendary heros of his world.
Their was Prince Marth the Hero King, Ephraim the Restoration King, Ike the Radiant Hero and the list goes on.
On one lone night after he thought Naruto went to sleep he decided to test one of the cards to see if they still worked.
*Flashback*
Robin picked up a random card from the deck of Einherjar and began channeling power into it.
While he thought his current charge was asleep the boy was acutally quietly watching from the door way to his room.
"Hero of the past, i summon thee. Come forth and assist me!" Robin called as he threw the card down. A blue portal appeared slowly after the card landed.
For a moment nothing happened. Until a figure began to materialize within the circle.
A women with dark green hair that was styled into a long ponytail appeared, she was wearing an outfit that was similer to a kimono and a brown coat. She also had two swords sheathed behind her back.
The women briefly looked around before noticing the white haired Tactician.
"Oh Robin long time no see!" The women said as she smiled toward the man that summoned her. "Any luck with regaining your memories?"
Robin smiled. While the Einherjar were merely phantoms that were mainly summoned to do battle. They still acted like people and seemed to keep the memories that they obtained while summoned.
Robin himself had spoken to basically each and every Einherjar whenever they obtained them in the Outrealms. This one in particular he spoke with many times.
"Haha. Sort of Lyndis." He answered and was about to continue until both he and the now named Lyndis heard the sound of a door open.
"Woah!" The loud voice of his blond charge sounded out. "Where did she come from Robin-nii!?" The boy questioned as he pointed at the women in question.
Robin felt like face palming. He'd hoped to do this while the boy was asleep so that there wouldn't be to much noise.
"Naruto keep it down. People are trying to sleep." Robin said as silently as he could.
Naruto quickly got the idea and covered his mouth.
"Hmmm who's this Robin?" Lyndis questioned as she looked at the blond child.
"*Sigh* Lyndis this is Naruto, Naruto this is Lyndis." Robin said quickly as he turned to the blond in question. "You should be asleep right now Naruto. You have the academy in the morning remembar?"
"Awww can't i stay up a little longer Robin-nii?"
"Hehe. He's kinda cute Robin." Lyndis said as she knelt down to get a better look at the blonds face. "These birthmarks are pretty unique too!"
The boy blushed slightly after he was called cute.
This caused Robin to notice something he found strange.
"You can understand her?" Robin questioned as Naruto looked at him strangely.
"Yeah! Why wouldn't I be able to understand her?"
Robin found this fact odd. To him Lyndis was speaking the same language as anyone from his original world would speak.
Maybe this had something to do with her being an Einherjar?
Oh well, that'd be something to test at a later date.
"Anyway. It's getting late Naruto, off to bed now." Robin said as Naruto became somewhat saddened.
"Will I be able to talk to the pretty lady tomorrow?" The blond questioned while pointing at Lyndis.
Robin found the request somewhat odd but still decided that there shouldn't be a problem with summoning Lyndis again tomorrow.
"Sure Naruto, you can talk to Lyndis tomorrow."
The boy seemed to become somewhat overjoyed for some reason after hearing that as he ran back to his room.
Robin turned back to Lyndis as she was now standing up again.
"It was nice seeing you again Lyndis." Robin spoke slowly as he watched the women in question.
"Mhm. It was good seeing you aswell Robin!" She said as she slowly looked at the door that Naruto had gone through. "It was nice meeting Naruto aswell."
"Well i guess I'll see you again tomorrow since Naruto wants to see you again." Robin said as a lightbulb went off in his head. "Hey Lyndis."
"Yes?"
"Would you be willing to teach Naruto how to use a Sword?"
Lyndis was slightly taken aback by the question as she considered it.
"Hmmmm, I don't see why not. Sure I'll teach him" She responded with a smile.
Robin smiled before he starting feeling sleepy. Summoning the Einherjar had always somewhat drained him of his energy.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow Lyndis. Goodbye for now." Robin said as he slowly fell over and let his consciousness fade.
Lyndis in the meanwhile faded from vision. Only the card with the picture of her remaining.
*Flashback end*
Robin smiled at the memories as of the past two weeks as he walked down the street toward his current destination.
Lyndis or Lyn as she profered to be called, had been a wonderful teacher for Naruto. Sure Naruto had been slightly disappointed that they only used wooden Swords for the time being.
The process of summoning her seemed to become more draining then it had in his original world, maybe it had something to do with a difference in energy or something?
He put his thoughts behind him as he arrived at his destination.
The Konoha Ninja Academy.
Ninja or Shinobi as some of them liked to be called, were basicly Mercenaries that worked for a certain villiage from what Robin could tell. What made them different from the Assassins or Mercenaries from his world was the fact that they used some kind of energy known as Chakra.
Robin personally didn't know much about Chakra other then the fact that the Shinobi used it to use the techniques they called Jutsu.
Jutsu were basicly this worlds version of Magic from what Robin could tell.
The Shinobi were trained at their villiages academy starting at the earliest age of six and would then spend up to atleast six years in the academy.
The Shinobi in training could graduate starting from the age of ten from what Robin had read. The Shinobi hopefuls could formaly take the graduation exam from any age until it was deemed a bad idea based off psych profiles of people like Kakashi Hatake or Itachi Uchiha.
Once a Shinobi graduates they are considered a Genin and are placed in a to a team of three under a Jonin Sensei.
Once the Genin are deemed ready by their Sensei they are allowed to take part in the Chunin Exams. Where they have the chance to become a Chunin.
Afterwords depending on the Shinobis skills and work record they can be promoted to Jonin or even become a member of the Anbu Black Ops.
All Ninjas take orders from their villiages Kage, who is consider the strongest person in the villiage.
But enough about that. You must be wondering why Robin is now standing infront of the Ninja Academy.
And you would find your answer very quickly after looking at the front of the building.
Written in big orange letters were the words. "NARUTO UZUMAKI RULES!."
Robin proceeded to sigh as a small blond ran straight into him while being chased by a tanned man with his hair in a high ponytail and had a scar running arcross his nose and wearing the standred Chunin flak jacket.
Robin looked down at the blond as the blond in question rised his head upwards to look at the Tactician.
"Oh...Hai Robin-nii!" The boy said in both joy and brief fear as he looked at the Tacticians shadowed face.
"Naruto." Robin said slowly as he reached down to pat the boys head. "Please explain why I have to keep coming here to clean up your mess?"
If there was one thing Robin hated about his new charge it was the fact that the boy loved pranks.
Sure there was nothing wrong with a good prank in Robins eyes.
But when you did them almost everyday of the week and forced him to have to come help clean up the mess.
Then he had a problem with pranks.
Authours Notes.
Mostly just more development for this chapter.
Now about the Einherjar since someone might complain about their useage.
I don't fully know if this is how an Einherjar works but in terms of how I plan to use them, it makes sense in my head.
Don't worry about me using every single Einherjar by the way, I'll only be using the ones that are obtained through awakenings DLC chapters. (Otherwise that's like 126 different Fire Emblem Characters i could use)
They'll mostly be used as another method to teach Naruto things that Robin can't in theory. Sure Robin could probably teach Naruto things like swordsmenship on his own but why do that when you have access to some of the greatest swordsmen or swordswomen in your worlds history.
The limits of the Einherjar will be explored more in future chapters but for now I think I've explained them well enough for now.
Anyway enjoy dear readers and have a good day/night. Please leave a review if you have the time.
Edit: Fixed up some grammar mistakes and slightly edited Lyn's description to mention her ponytail.
