Chapter 6: A Teacher's Creed
The next morning before the sun had even been raised Naruto was lying in bed with the beautiful councillor Shizuna Minamoto. She was pressed firmly against him; her head was resting on his chest, her breasts pressed against his bare torso. One of her arms, were thrown across his body while the other was palming his chest and one of her legs were leisurely stretched across his own. It didn't take a genius to realize what they were doing.
Closing his eyes and letting out a sigh of contentment deeply enjoying the warmth that was coursing through his body. His left arm was above his head resting on her pillow, while his right arm was currently massaging her derriere getting a soft moan from the woman he was sharing a bed with. With half lidded eyes Shizuna leaned her face to his and gave him a soft, sensual kiss.
Reciprocating her action Naruto moved his left hand and ran his fingers through her long hair while his right hand kept massaging her backside. After several seconds Naruto gently pushed her away so he could get up. Shizuna released a small whine at the loss of contact getting Naruto to chuckle softly. "Come back to bed Naruto-Kun." She groaned hoping she would experience the warmth that Naruto excluded once more.
Shaking his head negatively getting the councillor to pout, which was just lowering Naruto's resolve, a pout was supposed to show disappointment or even sadness and yet she could make it look incredible sexy. So unfair. "I can't, this is usually the time I train Negi." Naruto said knowing full well that he had responsibilities that he could not ignore, even if there was an unbelievably hot woman lying right in front of him.
It was so tempting though.
Sliding out of bed Naruto walked across the room picking up his discarded clothes, he was also well aware that Shizuna's eyes were on him. Noticing that their roommate did not return he turned towards the bustiest woman on campus with a curious gaze. "Where is Touko-Chan?" Naruto questioned the now coy, smiling woman. Touko was usually serious and stoic but behind closed doors she was quite the vicious little minx and Naruto appreciated that.
"She's staying at her boyfriend's tonight." Shizuna said her voice muffled because she was laying her face right into the pillow. Naruto blinked, he then rearranged his ninja headband on his left arm and blinked again.
"Boyfriend?" Naruto whispered getting the attention of the top heavy woman, who was now looking at him with an inquisitive stare.
"Oh, I didn't tell you, did I?" She said scratching her cheek with her index finger. "She's been seeing this young man for the last few days. She thinks it could be serious, you know he might be the one." She said with obvious amusement in her tone, she pulled the blankets towards herself and began wrapping them around much like a caterpillar would do with a cocoon.
"So," Naruto drawled with slow pronunciation. "No more kinky threesomes?" Naruto innocently asked with a raised eyebrow getting a soft laugh from the woman that was lying casually inside the bed.
"Afraid not, you're not jealous are you?" Shizuna questioned, wondering if he would feel jealous or completely indifferent to her actions. She was curious about the man in front of her, she knew who he was and what he could do and it was just maddening for her and Touko. He didn't want to be in a relationship and given how old he was and how he could live well after they would both die of old age she understood that. No matter how many people he'd helped or would be surrounded by, he would in the end always be alone walking, travelling and helping people in the world because that was all he could do.
"Of course not, this is just physical." Naruto responded plainly getting a wince from the near sleeping woman, strapping the scroll on his back he made his way to the door before her voice halted him.
"So you're just using me to sate your own carnal urges." Shizuna asked with a fake glare on her face. Noticing the look on her face and sensing no anger radiating from the woman, he just shook his finger at her tsking all the while.
"Don't give me that look love; you're doing the same thing to me. We're both using each other." Gesturing to her naked well satisfied form and to his own, he walked over to the well covered woman and gave a light kiss to her forehead. "Doesn't using each other feel great?" He gently teased the woman enjoying the small smile on her face.
"Well you can do whatever you want I'm going back to sleep." Shizuna responded lazily closing her eyes, after hearing the door close water pooled around her eyes, after several seconds it became too much for her to bear and the tears cascaded down her cheeks. She knew when she and Naruto got together for these little get togethers it was plainly physical with no intimacy involved and that was okay for her, every once and a while she liked to indulge in her own sexual appetite and being on the campus that had Naruto Uzumaki well, she indulged big time.
She was shedding tears for the man who just left her room. Say whatever you want about her, Shizuna cared deeply and was very sympathetic towards people, it was the reason she was a councillor in the first place and after realizing just how lonely Naruto Uzumaki was and how little she could do to help him, she just hoped that he would eventually find someone to walk all of eternity with.
XxX
Naruto was unaware of the tears that Shizuna shed but he was aware of the sorrow and the tiniest bit of hope within her when he left the room. He could feel the emotions that were emanating from people but he did not know what the emotions were caused by. He wasn't a mind reader so all he could do was make educated guesses.
Shaking his head to clear the thoughts he was experiencing, he disappeared in a vortex of green energy and reappeared in his son's room. The sight was quite cute, Negi was cuddled up against Bell-Chan, no doubt enjoying the warmth one only could experience when sharing a bed with another. Negi was lying down on the bed while Asuna was sprawled on top of him, while Negi's attire was still attached to his body; Bell-Chan was quite a different story. Her head was lying on his left shoulder leaning into his face; their mouths millimetres apart from each other that Naruto was certain that if one of them was awake they could feel their warm breath. Her top was unbuttoned revealing her white bra and her bottoms were pulled down to the arch of her knees revealing her white panties that had a little bear on it.
Negi's arms were around Asuna's body cupping her backside and if Naruto was his teenage self he wouldn't have noticed that Negi was firmly grabbing each cheek. Naruto was not his teenage self though so he was very aware of what Negi was doing but that was not what grabbed his attention, what did on the other hand was that Bell-Chan was tracing circles on his son's chest with her palm.
"It's just like Nekane-Chan and I all over again" Seeing the content look on his son's face, Naruto paused for a moment and wondered how his life found such peace. "I never get tired seeing that look of peace on his face." Naruto said affectionately remembering when Negi first slept beside him.
Chuckling at the familiarity of his son and Bell-Chan he walked over to his son, getting down on one knee he patted Negi on his head to wake him. Seeing his son stir and hearing Asuna whine from the movement he whispered into Negi's ear. "Son, Negi it's time to get up. You need to continue your training." Naruto said softly not wanting to wake up Asuna he knew full well what happened to men who woke up women earlier than they were supposed to wake.
"Dad?" Negi groaned, unable to move his body and not understanding why he was having trouble. Looking down he realized his predicament and his face immediately caught fire, his face was redder than an Uzumaki's hair. He didn't know what to do, he wanted to scream and bolt right up from the bed getting as far away from Asuna as possible but he knew if he did that she would wake up and scare the ever loving day lights out of him. So he did the only thing his brain told him to do,
Play dead and hope for the best.
"Rise and shine sleepyhead," Naruto said with a tone of teasing, enjoying the position his son was in. Naruto tilted his head to the side with a palm resting against it. "It's time for your training." Naruto said knowing full well that no matter what happened Negi would always train no matter what; it was one of the few traits that made Naruto feel like Negi were his own flesh and blood son, but then again who gave a crap about flesh and blood. Negi was his son and that's all that mattered.
"What are you doing here; you usually wait for me to come to you." Negi said quietly still deathly afraid to move in fear that he might wake the orange pigtail beast.
"Well I felt like paying you an early morning visit, and here I find you cuddling up to Bell-Chan." Instead of blushing, his son just looked down at Asuna with an unreadable expression.
Negi's mind was going a million miles an hour in several different directions all at once, in other words he was thinking too much. Ever since he arrived here he would walk into Asuna's bed and sleep with her, luckily for him he would always have to leave to train with his father before she would wake up. He predicted she would not handle it well.
The only people he ever did that with was his big sister who was his cousin Nekane Springfield and his father Naruto Uzumaki, in fact the first time Negi slept beside Naruto was the first time his doubts about the blond hair Semi Immortal man was weakening.
They both produced a special type of warmth that he loved and Asuna was the same way. He decided he would focus on getting out of Asuna's grip before thinking about what she meant to him, making a familiar looking hand seal he replace himself with a log.
Negi leaned up to his father with mischievous eyes and whispered, "The log will set you free." Negi snickered at the end of his sentence. Naruto just shook his head with a grin and pulled him into the vortex of green energy.
"Come on, I want to introduce you to someone." Naruto told Negi who looked at him with confusion in his eyes; Naruto knew exactly where Sayo was, it was the being that was filled with such joy that Naruto could practical hear the birds singing.
XxX
Sayo Aisaka was frolicking and skipping through the park of Mahora academy with a huge dreamy smile on her face, she was humming a little tune to herself that she learned when watching a Disney movie. Yesterday was the best day of her life. She had made her first friend, ever.
He was so kind, compassionate, not to mention handsome and he gave her a type of warmth unlike anything she ever felt before. After sixty years of being alone and trapped in isolation, the very first being to meet her turned out to be one of the nicest men on the planet and he could also live as long as she did.
She was aware that she was dead and therefore not alive but she wasn't going to correct her contradiction.
She wanted to know more about him but how those one go about that when she had not experienced social interaction in the last sixty years. She was new to this experience, making friends, that is. He claimed to be over two hundred years old and she believed him, why wouldn't she, he was her best friend you're supposed to have complete faith and trust in your friends and she definitely had those characteristic's for her first friend.
He could be with her and she felt guilty at that thought she knew he had a son and that he had certain responsibilities but every once in a while she wanted to be selfish and be the most important person in his life, she knew that was impossible and if anything she admired him most for that.
Normally she wouldn't be outside during the night, she was scared of the dark which many people would have found ridiculous, a ghost afraid of the dark it's as ludicrous as a vampire not liking blood. She wasn't scared now though because she knew Naruto would save her if anything scary happened to her. He was an empath, he could feel any fear emanating from her and she wondered briefly could he feel the amount of that joy that was radiating from her.
She might have been alone for over sixty years but she was still innocent, something that Naruto admired.
She audibly eeped when she felt the same warmth she felt yesterday wrapping around her body. It was coursing throughout her entire body, from the tips of her toes all the way to the scalp of her head she was enveloped in a golden warm energy. She didn't even have feet before the golden energy wrapped around her, she used to float everywhere but now she could see her own feet again and even better she could walk. She felt the grass underneath her toes tickling her causing her to giggle. She felt the cold air of the night caress her face, most people would have shivered and put on a layer of warmth, but Sayo she basked in all the life she was feeling right now. For sixty years she felt nothing, no warmth from the sun, no cold from the night, no joy from having friends and no one there to simply acknowledge her.
She loved this feeling, she truly felt like she was alive.
After examining her now golden body she looked up only to gasp at what she was witnessing. The sight that she saw before her was breathtakingly beautiful, the trees that were dull and lifeless grew a healthy brown and its leaves turned a brighter green, the park with its grass and flowers bloomed into a gorgeous forest of mesmerising plant life and even she pale and transparent became real, her skin was still pale but nowhere near the snow white skin she had before, her body was covered in an alluring golden energy that made her feel alive.
Her first friend was right there in front of her with his trademark grin on his face. She was too busy staring at him with such awe that made religious zealots look like blasphemers so she didn't notice what he was saying; she was looking at a pair of the most beautiful blue orbs she had ever seen. They were filled with such warmth; understanding and so much compassion that she nearly wept in joy that he was her friend. She wouldn't cry now because she had him in her life, he was older than her and he could stay with her until she passed on.
Hopefully not anytime soon the ghost thought.
It wasn't until a hand gripped her shoulder that made Sayo clear her thoughts about being with her blond hair sensei, she jerked slightly back from, her sensei who was looking at her with concerned eyes. She loved those eyes not because they were filled with warmth or compassion, no. She loved them because they acknowledged her, acknowledged her, the lonely little ghost girl who had no one for sixty years, seeing those eyes on her made her feel like she was the most important person in the world and she rather liked that feeling.
She finally focused on her friend when she realized he was snapping his fingers together to get her attention, she blushed in embarrassment that he caught her daydreaming about him. "Sayo-Chan," Naruto said getting her to focus on him, he gestured to the boy who was looking at her in awe. "This is my son Negi Uzumaki." He sounded proud of that fact.
"Huh?" Sayo questioned cutely unable to realize what was going on. She was feeling a little self-conscious that her other sensei was looking at her like he saw a ghost.
She giggled at that thought.
"Your teacher, you know the other one besides me." Naruto said his voice filled with amusement at how easily she could be flustered.
Negi was not unaware of the existence of ghosts or poltergeists as so many other people called them. He was a magister or at least one in training, he knew first hand of presence of demons and otherworldly creatures, such as vampires, aliens, spirits and homunculus.
This was the first time he had even seen a ghost though and it made him giddy inside, a real live ghost right in front of him. The strange thing was his father knew this ghost, when did he have the time to encounter her though. Naruto and he went on may travel all over Europe and Asia, they encountered many strange creatures. Vampires, demons and even a white hair red eyed homunculi, but he had never seen a ghost before.
"Dad, who is this? You're friends with a ghost, when did the two of you even meet." Negi questioned his father without pausing for breath. Naruto simply took out the roll book from his pocket dimension, because when you had that ability what need did you have for pockets.
"Negi, look at the roll book" Negi did so, looking through all the names on it, recognizing several of the girls he had yet to meet and the ones he already met. "This is Sayo Aisaka, seat number one." He gestured to the shy self-conscious ghost girl.
"To answer your other questions, yes I am friends with Sayo-Chan and I met her yesterday when you were teaching the Idiot Rangers, in fact she was with me when you were with Bell-Chan and the other girl I have yet to come up with a nickname for." Naruto told his son looking fondly at the ghost girl in question who smiled once more when she felt those eyes on her.
Negi was thinking back to that moment when he saw his father with the big breasted girl, Chizuru Naba and realized that when he hugged his father he felt a cold shiver run through him, was it because he went through her body without even knowing about it.
While Negi was thinking back to when he met Naruto in the hallway, the semi-immortal sage was wondering should he reveal the information of one of his other students. After several minutes of having an internal debate he decided that his son was mature enough to know about the truth of why Naruto was there with him. "Negi, do you see her?" Naruto pointed at the roll book that contained a picture that consisted of a young Caucasian girl with blond hair, she was clearly scowling at the photographer. This young woman's name was Evangeline AK McDowell.
"Yes," Negi replied slowly, after looking at the picture for a few seconds and wondering why his father brought this to his attention. "What's wrong dad?" Negi questioned his grim looking father, wondering who this young woman was.
"She's the reason why I'm your assistant in the first place. She wants to kill me and she definitely wants do something unpleasant to you." Naruto told his son, who now looked like he was second away from panicking but then took a deep breath and looked at his father with fierce eyes.
Naruto was once again reminded why he loved being a father; it was moments like these that kept him having faith in humanity.
"She's Evangeline AK McDowell," Naruto told his son gently wondering if Negi could handle the story he was about to tell him. "She is an ancient vampire who has lived for several centuries. She's older than me Negi, something I thought was impossible." Negi's eyes had widened bit by bit but they still had that fierce look within them. "She hates me because she believes I am replacing your fathe.." Naruto was cut off by his son whose eyes were now containing fire within each of them.
"You are my father and this vampire can mind her own business." Negi declared in a heated tone which was not anything like his gentleman tone. It was at times like this that Naruto knew for a fact that Negi had anger and hatred within him, Naruto knew one day his son would eventually have to deal with his inner demons. "Why does she care if you're my father?" Negi questioned, his voice still carrying a heated tone.
"She is in love with Nagi Springfield," If Negi was drinking right now this would be the moment he would have a spit take, instead he just tripped over his feet. "Before I ran into Sayo-Chan here I helped feed a bunch of cats with her servant Monotone-Chan, or otherwise known as, Chachamaru Karakuri, she's another one of your students. You know, the girl with green hair that has antennas for ears." Naruto pondered for a moment realizing he had such strange students.
He wondered if the rest of the girls he taught were strange as well.
"She loves Nagi," It was at that moment Negi realized he never saw a picture of his mother and he began panicking.
"Oh my god, please tell me she's not my mother, if I ever found out that Nagi had sex with an old hag that looked like a little girl I will throw up." Negi shouted, panicking while running back and forth causing Naruto to get dizzy before he threw a stone at him causing Negi to hiss in pain.
"Son, I realize that your Ten years old and you need further information in regards to sex, but you do realize that the dead can't have kids right." Naruto spoke slowly wondering if his son was taking this a bit too far. Negi looked at him with huge hopeful eyes.
"They can't?" Negi's voice was quivering with emotion. "That's the best news I ever heard, oh thank you Christ." His son was on his knees looking up at the sky with thankful eyes.
Naruto was smiling at his son's theatrics knowing full well that if he wasn't there Negi would have simply supressed his lighter emotions feeling like he didn't deserve them after what had happened to his village and its people.
"We have to be on our guard, she will eventually come for us. She definitely has feelings for Nagi and she won't let this little farce as she called it play out any further." Naruto told his son who just narrowed his eyes.
"What do you plan on doing?" Negi questioned his father who just crossed his arms over his chest.
"I'm going to do what I always do, find the light that people like her always say that they don't have and bring it out to the surface." No matter how many people told him otherwise, Naruto and Obito were almost parallel to each other. Obito wanted to save the world from its own ignorance and stupidity, while Naruto wanted to help people by teaching them to understand each other better. Obito could bring out the darkness that was in one's heart while Naruto could bring out the light. "That's what I'm going to do." Naruto declared to his son, he would help Evangeline, he would not deny any claim that he was being selfish because he knew was.
He wanted Eva as a companion because he didn't want to be alone anymore.
"She said she wants to kill you." Negi spoke slowly wondering if his gather was actually insane.
"So," Naruto snorted clearly amused at his son's reaction. "I don't let a little thing like that get in my way." And it was true, Naruto wouldn't have the amount of friends he had now if he didn't learn how to accept the horrible things in life and learn to let them go and perhaps the hardest lesson, moving on with your life,
Sayo was just looking back and forth between both of her sensei's in a mixture of amazement and confusion. Naruto sensing her emotions decided to help her out.
"My son is a wizard." Naruto told her gesturing to his son who didn't seem to have a problem with Sayo knowing who he was, most likely because she was a ghost and who could she tell.
"You mean you're a real life magician who can use magic, that's so amazing." Sayo gasped in excitement not experiencing anything so fanciful, she completely forgot that she was a ghost and that was pretty fanciful.
"No, a wizard is someone who can perform real magic while a magician is someone who uses stage magic." Negi told his student who just tilted her head in a very cute fashion. To the confusion of both the youngsters Naruto started laughing while looking at Negi like he just said the funniest thing in the world.
"Oh I needed that," Naruto wiped a few stray tears from his eyes, noticing the look of confusion on his son's face; he gave him a sly look. "I just remembered something funny." Naruto drawled hinting at something that he knew Negi would figure out.
Negi's face scrunched up in concentration wondering what his father was getting at until he realized that very embarrassing moment when he was younger and narrowed his eyes at his father "No dad, please don't, anything but that." He pleaded to his father dropping to his knees and putting his hands together.
"Come on son it was years ago and Sayo has been alone for sixty years," Naruto reassured his son while gesturing to a very confused ghost. "She desperately needs some cheering up."
"Fine." Negi sulked deeply upset that he wasn't able to get his way, at least this way his embarrassing story might cheer up Sayo.
"You see, years ago my son was a huge fan of these stage magicians and one night he decided that he would give it a go." Naruto whispered the next part leaning into the blushing ghost. "Considering the fact that he was a real wizard it might have been cheating." Naruto muttered to Sayo was about to giggle before Negi cleared his throat with rosy cheeks.
"Get on with it." Negi implored of his father hoping this story will end.
"Alright, a few days later he booked a show at a pub in London, a pub that had patrons drinking for at least thirteen hours because of a rugby championship, so we had to wait for this bald comedian to get off the stage." Naruto told Sayo while secretly revelling in his son's embarrassment.
"Oh my god, kill me now." Negi moaned while burying his face into his hands.
"Don't be so melodramatic Negi." Naruto just waved his hand to brush away Negi's bemoaning.
"Anyways, the comedian was finished and it was Negi's turn so he decided to do that bit all stage magicians did. He fanned out a deck of cards and offered a card to someone who was unbelievably drunk at the time, the man pulled out the ten of clubs, now this is where the story gets interesting." Sayo perked up at that bit, so far the story was good and now it was about to get better. Negi on the other hand was not so enthusiastic.
"Yeah, for you maybe, there weren't responding to me at all." Negi said despondently.
"They were drunk Negi, you can't really blame them." Naruto consoled his son while defending the drunks.
"You said a little drink helps the comedy crowd relax."
"Yeah, a little bit of booze, you know like a one to five drink minimum. These people have been drinking for thirteen hours." Naruto told Negi hoping his son would realize the negative aspects of having too much drink.
"What happened next, Negi-Sensei?" Sayo piped up looking forward to the rest of the tale.
"I put the card back into its deck and made the cards disappear…" Negi answered her question, when Naruto interrupted him.
"And then he went into this bit about how the cards might be in a different dimension or how the cards were torn apart particle by particle and scattered across the world." Naruto told Sayo while trying to hold back his snickers.
"I'm telling the story." Negi snapped at his father, his embarrassment fuelling his frustration.
"Like my father was saying, I did this bit and I might have been doing it a little more than what was strictly necessary." Negi said looking down at his toes while wiggling his hands in a nervous way.
"What do you mean Sensei?" Sayo questioned Negi with an air of innocence.
"I enjoyed the theatrics a little too much." Negi squeaked out, hearing his father mutter something aloud, thus causing him to narrow his eyes at him.
"A little, showgirls don't show the level of enthusiasm you showed." Seeing his son narrow his eyes at him Naruto just looked at him innocently. "What, I didn't say anything."
"By the time I was finished my bit the crowd completely forgot about the Ten of clubs and not only that, they forgot they were showed anything at all. So eventually after I realized that I still had a show to finish I brought out a melon, a fresh melon and I opened up the melon and within the fleshy bits of the melon there was the Ten of clubs card." Negi said quickly cursing his dad for bringing this story up.
"At that time the whole crowd just went, ooh melon." Negi deadpanned, which caused Naruto and Sayo to break down laughing at the look of sheer boredom on Negi's face.
"The entire crowd hadn't eaten anything for thirteen hours and there were drooling." Nego told Sayo, reminiscing about the looks of hunger that were on the faces of the drunks.
"Yes some of them I believe were dying of scurvy." Naruto supplied before biting his lip, trying desperately to stop the laughter that was threatening to spill out.
"They were going, 'oh it's a melon is this what he does, is this a buffet, oh what's he bringing out next I hope its chips, and then the whole crowd started chanting chips, chips, chips." Negi said before he too collapsed to ground laughing while rolling on his back.
"Sayo-Chan you have not lived a day if you have never seen a magician holding up a soggy ten of clubs and try to explain his bit to an entire crowd who were chanting chips, chips, chips." Naruto told the ghost humorously before picking up his son by the scruff of his collar and began walking towards the area where they usually train.
XxX
Kaede Nagase, the resident Kunoichi was in an excited mood as she stepped onto the grounds of Mahora academy. It had been a full day since she asked her diminutive sensei for training. A day she spent wondering what type of training she would be forced to endure, she had learned many arts of Ninjutsu since she had been a child. She learned and dabbled in all thirty four styles of Koka art of fighting.
Further enlightening her mood was her other sensei the one she wanted to learn from, Naruto Uzumaki. Her Sensei's forbade her from learning anything from that man, but when did that ever stop a ninja especially someone like her. Hopefully today would mark the day her tutelage under him would begin, and that caused her no small amount of trepidation as well as curiosity. What could Naruto Uzumaki do, he claimed to be over two hundred years old, was he telling the truth or was merely lying to surround himself with an air of mystery. It did not matter to Kaede if he was old or young, what mattered to her was that she needed to get stronger and she saw what he was capable of, the scary thing was he was obviously holding back.
Kaede strode past the fountain of Mahora academy and made her way into the park that was covered in an illusion that Negi told her about the night before. She stopped, and stared. All thoughts of doubt flew from her mind as her eyes drank in the scene that was before her.
The father and the son were battling.
Two blades shrouded in golden and silver energy flashed in the pale moonlight, gold and silver blurs dancing in a lethal symphony. Naruto's golden energy weapon was shaped to look like an exact replica of a double-edged broadsword; he slashed at his son with a great disembowelling strike that left the air whistling in its destructive wake. Negi's silver energy blade looked like a thinner, smaller version of his father's. He weaved in and out using intricate patterns that were almost too fast to see. The two blades collided against one another to the tune of ringing steel.
Kaede swallowed. She had duelled with blades before, back in her village, against fellow students and under her sensei's instruction. She had been the best but she never let it go to her head. Her form was near flawless because she knew they would always be room for improvement. Kaede had thought she had seen everything when it came to swordplay. She was wrong.
The blond hair mortality challenged father swung hard and his golden shaped blade cleaved down to split his son in two. Kaede would have rolled away or in the worst case scenario, lifted her sword to block. The glasses wearing, polite, earnest boy did neither. Her ten year old sensei sidestepped, moved ever-so-slightly to the left so that the golden energy sword passed bare millimetres from his face. His own silver energy shaped blade came up, and met his father's massive weapon. But it was not a block or a parry. Negi Uzumaki moved his blade at an angle, so when both energy swords collided, his slid. The faint screech of metal skidding over metal entered her ears, and Kaede the resident Kunoichi watched, stunned as the boy used his own momentum to propel his sword along the keen edge of his dad's weapon. It was a beautifully thought out manoeuvre. Naruto was going to have to either lose the grip on his blade or his fingers.
The Two Hundred year old father laughed and tossed his sword into the air, breaking the connection. It flipped end over end before descending, and Naruto caught it in his left hand before sweeping it back towards the boy. Negi's motion had carried him past his father, and the massive golden shaped sword fell towards his unguarded back. Her tiny sensei bent down, as though if picking something up from the ground and his silver blade that looked so much like the full moon appeared suddenly over his shoulder, angled a perfect forty-five degrees. Again the hiss of steel grating against steel was heard, and Naruto golden shaped broadsword slid upwards, harmlessly past his son's head, and into the air.
Kaede had both eyes opened.
What she was witnessing here was no simple battle. This was no practise match where the winner was the one that scored the most points. There were no rest stops for father and son, Kaede wondered for a brief moment how could any father put his own son through this kind of brutal training. Then she realized she too signed up for this training regime, she now knew why Negi was smirking at her knowingly; she never would have thought her sensei would be the mischievous sort. Neither of them was stopping and Kaede realized they were restricting their own movements so that they could stay within the circle that they carved into the ground with their blades.
It was nonstop fighting, never-ending, continuous battle. There was no hesitation from either side; father and son genuinely looked like they were trying to kill each other and Kaede briefly worried for her sensei's future. Every slash from Naruto's titanic weapon was aimed to kill and every counter from his son was meant to kill. This was swordsmanship like she never seen before and Kaede was utterly captivated by that.
It took some time, but Kaede noticed that the father and son weren't using any forms or stances she knew of. Mind you her knowledge was rather limited so she did not know every type of style there was in the world, although she was right, Naruto and Negi knew how to use a sword. They both could each wield a blade, but they could never become one with it as many great sword practitioners did in the past. The first time Naruto ever used a sword he sliced his own hand off as for Negi he nearly cut of his own leg, each of them were horrible at using a sword so they both decided that they would each get better at using one.
Naruto and Negi were different. Their movements were completely random. Sometimes the boy would launch at his father with such elegant manoeuvres that Kaede thought he was dancing and then he changed his movements to resemble brutal hacking motions that you would see in a hack and slash game. His father on the other hand would regularly try to impale his own son with his blade with a quick stabbing motion before changing it to an almost beastly form of sword fighting. The two changed at random whenever they felt like it, they would collide with one another with their energy swords before changing into light fencing and then fell back to cruel, merciless strokes once more.
If possible Kaede's eyes widened even further, she was skilled at observation when she put her mind to it and her sensei's were very proud of that trait, she realized that Naruto's style of fighting if it could be called that was nothing more than sheer brutish force with no subtlety or finesse at all. Naruto put his entire strength into each of his blows, it was raw, brutal, like a cornered animal desperately trying to survive, Kaede shuddered at the memory of her teachers and fellow students that were writing in pain when Naruto first came here. Then there was Negi. If Naruto could be likened to a juggernaut of animalistic strength, then his son was pure serene in his motions and movements. Negi had to rely on speed and endurance because he did not have the sheer strength his father possessed, Negi lacked the strength to perform powerful strikes and he was not aggressive enough to ruthlessly slay his opponents, so in order to beat his enemies he would have to rely on quickness, cunning and most of all, patience to best his enemies.
Kaede never thought that she would feel inferior to a ten year old, yet here she was and she would admit that Negi made her feel very inferior.
Like all things in life it had to come to an end. Eventually one of the two participants had to be injured and Kaede was surprised it was the father.
Naruto overreached himself. His titanic, golden energy shaped broadsword slashed downwards, and his son merely sidestepped out of the way. The boy was mere millimetres away from having being impaled on his father's blade, and yet he still continued to smile. The blade was impaled in the earth's surface, and it was unable to be moved the slightest from the earth. Kaede briefly wondered is this what several citizens felt like when they tried to pull out the sword of promised victory from the rock.
Negi still had yet to lose his smile, which had remained on his face throughout the entire battle between him and his father. Kaede pondered that he must love fighting his father like this. Negi planted his foot on the unmoving golden energy blade, using it as leverage; he leaped towards his own father with increased momentum. His grip on his own silver energy sword became double-handed, and he brought down on his father's skull.
His father seemed to realize what was going to happened and seemed to have a problem with losing his head, so instead of being cut in half vertically he laughed, he would laugh in a situation that was dire as this, Kaede thought he was mad. Naruto just raised his forearm, coating it with golden energy that moved and dance like liquid fire. Negi's silver blade connected with Naruto's arm and Kaede heard a thunderous bang.
Negi did not seem to notice or care. He was still being carried by the momentum. With the reflexes of a cat and the speed of a mongoose, Negi reached out and grasped his father's forearm, using the momentum that was still on his side; Negi swung himself past his father's shoulders. Standing proudly on his father's shoulders like a Greek god, Negi swung his silver energy blade diagonally at his father.
Naruto had not managed to make a single noise while his son's blade sliced right through his neck.
Negi landed softly, staring at the sight of his father losing his head while it rolled of his shoulders, he didn't even wince or recoil when blood started spurting out from his father's neck.
Kaede thought she was going to be sick.
Her blond hair sensei's head lolled back, rolled from its shoulders, and fell with a meaty thud on the ground. Naruto's body moved shakily, he swayed in an almost drunken stupor and fell onto his knees. Kaede stifled a gasp. His own son had just killed his own father, he committed patricide.
Her theory was shattered when a golden energy erupted from the corpse of her blond hair sensei, it looked like pure fire the colour was the same as the sun, and it wrapped itself around the body of her headless sensei lifting him up from the ground keeping him suspended in the air. His body and his head seemed to dissolve into golden flames; it was a beautiful sight in Kaede's opinion. She was further struck speechless when she heard the amused voice of her now alive sensei.
"You're getting better Negi," Naruto proudly said, walking out of the golden fire he spotted the pale face of the resident Kunoichi and offered her a wave which she returned hesitantly.
"First blood goes to me," Negi said in such a dull tone of voice that had Kaede wondering if he had decapitated his father before.
"That was significantly more than first blood," Kaede softly said getting the attention from his son this time. Negi gave her a cheerful wave.
"Yes it does, but remember Negi I can heal, you can't." Naruto told his son while running his index finger over his throat. They both began walking over to Kaede which caused her to straighten herself.
"So you actually allowed her to partake in this training regime of ours, I thought you wanted this to be private." Naruto said, his mischievous eyes flickering towards her and back to his son.
"She's a ninja just like you. I thought that you have a responsibility towards all future generations of ninja." Negi said reasonably locking his serious eyes towards his father.
The Kunoichi looked at both of them unsteadily, not used to being in a situation such as this. She stopped herself and wondered is, this what she needed, Negi told her himself that the only way to survive this type of training was to have something to reach for. Coming to her decision she looked at both the man and boy in front of her and began to kneel.
"Please don't do that it just makes uncomfortable." Negi said with a little red on his face, a nervous smile plastered on his features,
"You can kneel for me if you want. I spent nearly two decades of my life trying to get people to kneel for me." Naruto told her with a small grin on his face.
Naruto wasn't exactly modest or humble.
"You two are now my master's," Kaede replied them, which caused Negi to blink in confusion and Naruto to chuckle.
"No, I am your master." Naruto told her with a tone of finality, looking at his son in concentration he continued. "But both of us are still your sensei's."
"Very well Naruto-Sama. I Kaede Nagase hereby pledge myself to you." Kaede said bowing her head. It was until she felt a firm hand on her shoulder did she look up. The huge grin on his face was easy to spot.
"This is going to be fun." Naruto grin turned somewhat wicked and predatory.
"You will be expected of course," Naruto smiled, it was not a good smile, "to last against the both of us, when Negi and I are done with you." At his side Negi nodded his head agreeing with his father's decision, Kaede didn't share that thought.
"Last?" Kaede squeaked out unable to come to terms with that agreement. "You want me to last against the two of you after seeing what I just saw?" Kaede nearly choked on her words.
Naruto just tilted his head sideways with a look of pure innocence on his face.
"Kaede, there is one thing in this world that everyone hates, that everyone despises and loathes. No matter what type of person you are, be you a saint or a sinner there is one thing that everyone in this world unites against." Leaning his towards her their noses touching each other, usually in such a situation Kaede would tease the individually until he passed out with a red face. This was not one of those times. She listened to every word that came from Naruto's mouth.
"It's weakness, nobody likes it, even the weak don't like it, everyone wants to get rid of it or be rid of it and that includes me," Taking both of her hands in his own he closed his hands over securing her and comforting her. "Right now, you are weak but I can guarantee you before Negi and I leave you will be able to stand up to me, I swear it."
The Kunoichi nodded. Negi chuckled from behind his father no doubt remembering his own problems from learning from his father.
"So what happens now?" Kunoichi-Chan's hesitant voice broke through the tension.
"Right now, nothing," Chuckling at her shocked look Naruto and Negi began walking away from her, looking at her from his shoulder he winked. "We all have class to attend to, so I'm afraid we'll have to reschedule."
Author's Note: I was originally going to write an incredibly long chapter but I decided nah, I'll just give you all a few extras instead because I'm nice like that. It probably won't, happen again so, have a good day or night.
Now I just finished reading the latest chapter of Naruto and I have come up with a theory to defeat the Ten-Tails, I would actually like to hear your opinions. Minato as of right now as half of Kurama's chakra inside of him, the Yin side and Naruto has the other half, Yang. Yin chakra has the ability to turn dreams into fantasy and Yang chakra has the ability to breathe life into anything.
So here is my theory, Minato gives Sasuke the Yin chakra and before any of you say he can't do that, let me remind you we all thought that the Shingami technique was the one jutsu you did not fuck around with. Sasuke equipped with most the powerful Yin chakra and Naruto with the most powerful Yang chakra defeat the Ten-Tails. Sasuke comes up with a dream where the Ten-Tails did not exist and uses the Yin chakra to turn into a fantasy, where Naruto using Yang chakra breathes life into Sasuke's fantasy and simply erases it.
That's my theory and I'm sticking with it until the actual canon comes out and we discover that the Ten-Tails is just really lonely and desperately needs a hug.
This is me signing off.
