Chapter Four: School days
"Alim/ Demonic speaking."
'Alim/ Demonic thinking'
"Normal speaking"
'Normal thought'
*Several months later.*
Ah the first day of school, a wondrous day of celebration for parents and a dreaded day for children. One would think that a day like this would go by relatively smoothly. But….
"Naruto wake you ass up!" Alim shouted trying to rouse the blonde from his peaceful slumber. "You too Corrin, Your ass I'll beat!" He shouted to the almost comatose pink haired teen. Naruto by this point groggily sat up, and was looking around in confusion. When he stumbled into the living room he blearily watched as Alim tried to roll Corrin over, though if asked he would have said he was trying to chuck the teen into the wall. Naruto only shrugged and started his morning routine.
"He still not up yet?" The young blonde asked as he adjusted the green goggles on his forehead, his orange jumpsuit present in all of its eye blistering glory. It had been teen minutes since Alim had started his crusade to awaken his slumbering brother, who was blissfully unaware of his surroundings. "Nope" The shadow growled, looking like he was close to strangling the teen.
"Here let me try." Naruto brushed aside the shadow, and proceeded to pop his joints. "Wake!" He started to shout as he jumped into the air, "Up!" He finished as his feet collided with the pinkest stomach, knocking the air out of the teens lungs.
The pinket shot up, whether from being suddenly woken up or from almost chopped in half by an eight year old only cthulhu would know. "What time is it?" Corrin asked as he shoved his face into a pillow. "About ten-till-eight."
Corrins head shot up quicker than a country's national debt, "Wait, what, Fuck!" He shouted. "Naruto, Comb your teeth, clothe your hair, brush your ass." Then teen hastily shouted as he ran into the bathroom. Not even two seconds after the door had slammed shut, shaking the walls, it opened; Revealing a perfectly calm Corrin. "What's taking you two so long?" He asked, completely and utterly ignoring his previous actions.
Naruto and Alim shared a look. "We ready to go?" Naruto asked the saner shadow man rather than the possibly unstable Corrin. "As ready as ever."
"Crap we're going to be late!" Corrin suddenly shouted before grabbing the two and jumping out the conveniently opened window.

"And we made it!" Corrin shouted as he and Naruto landed in the academy's court yard, earning either glares or Befuddled looks from the other parents and students. "How much time do we have?" Corrin asked as he held his sleeve up to his face. "Nine minutes, Then the brat gets to go in" Alim said, barely extending out of the sleeve. "Huh," Corrin said, lowering his sleeve, "I figured that would take longer."
Naruto only glared at the teen as he tried to fix his windswept hair. "So what are we supposed to do?" The pinkette asked, oblivious to his blond companions glaring. "What do you mean what are we supposed to do!" Naruto shouted pointing at the blindfolded man, "Your the adult, you're supposed to know!" Corrin brushed away the comment, "Silly Naruto, I'm only sixteen, I'm not an adult." He said in a condescending tone, "Alim your smart, tell the child the knowledge thing."
Alim popped out off Corrins sleeve, "Lord Third is going to give a speech in a few minutes so we need to get to our places." He retreated back into the sleeve. "What he said." Corrin said, causing Naruto to grumble.
Five minutes later.
He was nervous. Naruto thought to himself as he walked towards the academy, he locked over his shoulder and smiled. Corrin was giving him the peace sign, and seemed completely ignorant of banner which was stretched between the two poles resting on his shoulders, the Banner read, "Have a good day ya brat!" In red crayon with a poorly drawn smiley face on it.
Naruto chuckled and ran inside the building.
"Told ya he'd love it." Corrin said as he watched the young blonde race into the building. Alim remained silent. "Why are you being so grumpy?" The younger sibling asked. "I haven't slept in months, I think I'm justified in being a little quite." Alim growled.
Sighing Corrin turned around and started the journey to a rather familiar training ground. "How's the body coming along?" He asked, causing Alim to sigh, which was odd considering he lacked lungs. "I might be able to make one by the time comes back from his training trip in a few years." He said despairingly. "Though I have some ideas on how to speed up the process." Corrin looked around the training ground, noting the three wooden pillars in its center. "And how ethical are they?" Corrin said as he sat in front of the center pillar and leaned against it. "I mean your mind could get pretty dark, and that was before you lost your body."
Alim let out a dark chuckle, "Well the most ethical choice would be constructing a puppet for me to merge with." Corrin quirked an eyebrow, "And the least?" He asked, Alim chuckled again. "Well it involves several dead bodies."
Corrin cringed, "Well we can't have that, isn't that right Kakashi-sensei?" Corrin seemingly asked the air, ignoring the Kunai that appeared under his chin. "Don't think knowing my name will help you." The anbu member said, "Rule number one of being a ninja, never lower your guard."
Corrin chuckled, "And here I thought it was always expect shit to hit the fan." He said as a black tendril wrapped itself around Kakashi's neck, arm, and torso, effectively restricting his movement. The pink haired teen snapped his fingers and the dog masked anbu collapsed into a puddle of water, soaking the horned teen in the process.
Corrin looked around, trying to find the older ninja, He only had a moment's notice to jump over the approaching lightning shaped hound, Kakashi's fist seemed to appear in the man's gut as he fell back to the earth, launching him into a tree. "Your training will not be easy." Kakashi stated as he stood over the fallen form of Corrin.
"You hit like a girl." Corrin suddenly appeared in Kakashi's face and slammed his fist into the man's chest, knocking him away. 'That hurt like a bitch' Corrin said as he rubbed his stomach. 'Dodge!' Alim mentally shouted a moment before Kakashi appeared behind Corrin a Kunai in hand. The teen ducked under the blow but failed to see the man's other fist hurtling towards him. "Rule number two." Kakashi stated, his sharingan uncovered behind the porcelain mask, "Always pay attention to your surroundings."
Corrin hummed in thought, "Are you sure it's not always plan ahead?" He pulled a string, triggering the explosive paper on the surrounding trees to ignite. Kakashi had to use a hasty body flicker to escape the explosion.
'Is he mad?' The anbu member asked himself as he searched the dust cloud for any motion. "Are we going to continue this dance or what?" Corrin called out as he walked out of the dust, the right half of his Yukata was destroyed and the left was hanging limply from his shoulder, outside of the dirt and burn marks on his clothes the pinket showed no signs of having been in the center of several powerful explosions. Kakashi took a battle ready stance, causing Corrin to gain a bloodthirsty grin. "Im fired up now!" He shouted as he rushed forward.
Several Hours Of Extreme Violence Latter
Naruto looked around the courtyard as he exited the academy building. "Over here!" A familiar voice shouted. Naruto looked to see a shirtless Corrin leaning against the tree with a swing on it, several cuts and bruises decorated his body, and his left arm was covered in a black substance. "Big bro!" The blonde shouted as he barreled into the older teen.
"How was your day." Corrin asked when he caught the breath that had been knocked out of him. The blue eyed boy gave a bright smile, "It was really boring, but I knew some of the kids in there from the park!" Naruto looked at the horned teens arm. "What's wrong with your arm?"
Corrin laughed, "Well ya see, it's a real funny story." He shrugged, "I lost my darn shirt to a ravenous dog that really needed a haircut, and Alim had to wrap around my arm to stay with me." Alims face appeared on Corrins shoulder and chuckled his deep chuckle, "Plus I can't feel it and he's helping make it actually useful."
Naruto looked up at him in confusion, "How'd that happen?" Corrin ruffled Naruto's hair, "Ill tell you on the way home, which we should get going, I don't know how long I'll be able to remain standing."
"Ok" Naruto happily chirped as he and Corrin made their journey home.
A/N: Ok so this is a little shorter than my other chapters but I had a really busy week and my body is trying to see how sick it can get without having me to take a day off. I probably should've waited till after the first full week of school to say when I'll update this story. Oh well.
Quick question, Should I use the english or Japanese versions of the Jutsu names in this story? Any imput would be greatly appreciated.
