Hey everyone I'm back with another chapter of Uzumaki-sensei as a reminder I'm not following any set path from the anime or whatever. I'm just writing what comes to mind so we'll see how that works out; I doubt I'll make this very long.
In fact I'll probably end this after final exams for Himawari and the girls. In terms of chapters that's probably 2-5 more, this story is kind of…eh for me. I don't feel much for it anymore so I'll do my best to end it in a satisfying way.
An intruder
Naruto smiled as he watched his class working on their quiz. "Five minutes left." He announced as a few pencils quickened their pace. Shifting his gaze around he noted that Himawari seemed to be doing fine as were Shikimi, Azami, Himeji, and Yusura. "Alright time!" he shouted as everyone put down their pencils. "Leave your quiz where it is, class dismissed." He stated as the girls began leaving the room. Walking through the rows of chairs collecting papers he paused to look out the window. "Hm?" he wondered aloud.
Outside the window a figure hid within the trees "That was close." They muttered staring at Naruto with barely concealed anger. "Finally I've found you…descendant of Asura!" they hissed only to duck down as Naruto looked out the window again.
"Is there something out there?" Naruto wondered walking up to the window. Opening it he poked his head out to look around. "Am I hearing things?" he wondered while scratching his head.
'My chance!' the would be assassin thought with glee as they reared their arm back to throw a kunai at Naruto's exposed neck. 'Rot in hell Uzumaki Naruto!'
"Uzumaki-sensei, could we talk to you about your lessons?" someone called out causing Naruto to pull his head into the classroom as he turned to face the speaker causing the Kunai to miss completely.
'Damn it!' the figure hissed as they quickly dropped down to grab the knife before fleeing into the foliage. 'Need to reposition just in case someone noticed me.' They mused as they sped off.
Naruto smiled as he finished up his chat with his students. "Now then, what should I do for the rest of today?" he wondered as he packed his bag and headed out of the classroom. "I guess dropping the papers off at the room comes first." He muttered holding his chin in thought.
As Naruto mused to himself the assailant peered from behind their cover near the well. "This time for sure I'll get him." They muttered quietly to themselves. Seeing an opportunity they moved to lunge at Naruto.
"Naruto-dono!" Himawari shouted happily as she vaulted over the intruder knocking them into the well. Either missing or ignoring the sound of splashing water Himawari quickly stepped next to Naruto who gave her a tired smile.
"What is it Himawari?" he asked patting her on the head getting the girl to beam up at him happily. "You finally fixed your punches?" he wondered aloud getting her to pout at him.
"Hey I fixed those last week, you even said so!" she declared childishly "But, no I wanted to double check my work on your lesson for modern appliances." She stated bringing the focus onto the matter of discussion. Saying so she pulled out a smart phone and showed him the various apps and uses she could use with it. "Am I missing anything?" she asked looking up at him once she finished.
"Hm…" Naruto mused "How do you charge it?" he asked causing her to blink.
"This model has a plug in charger, thank god the school has outlets." She muttered the second part under her breath.
"Okay then, what does Bluetooth mean?" Naruto asked.
"Isn't that related to hands free devices you can use with the phone? You know, like a headset, or in some cases the user's car?" Naruto nodded happily.
"Final one and then I'm sure you got it." He stated "What data plan are you on?" he asked with a grin.
"Ah…" Himawari muttered realizing her error. "I FORGOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT!" she cried out loud running off.
"Hm… not quite perfect yet in that part of class is she?" he mused aloud. "Well she's doing better than some of the other girls at least." With that he turned on his heels and continued on his way towards his room.
As soon as Naruto turned a corner the intruder managed to poke his head out from the well. "I will definitely get him next time!" they swore as they climbed out of the well. "On my honor as a…!" they couldn't finish their statement as a wooden sandle came sailing out from the nearby dorms nailing them in the face.
"Shut up I'm trying to study!" someone shouted as the intruder fell backwards and into the well once more.
Naruto sneezed loudly as he exited his room. "Am I getting sick?" he wondered before realizing something. "Wait…I've never been sick in my life." He mused as he looked around. "Is someone talking about me?" he muttered suspiciously. "Certainly a lot of candidates if that's the case."
"Oh Uzumaki-sensei are you alright?" Shikimi asked as she made her way over. "You look tense."
Naruto waved her off as she fell into step with him. "It's nothing, probably just someone talking about me." He assured her. "Was there something you need from me?" he asked looking at the bespectacled girl.
"No, I was heading into the forest to gather herbs." She explained showing him the basket on her other hand. "Supposedly there were rare herbs growing in certain areas of the forest at this time of year."
"I see." Naruto muttered softly. "Hm, I'll accompany you for a bit, I've been meaning to get some training for myself recently." He admitted simply getting a shocked look from Shikimi. "Hm?" he hummed seeing her reaction.
"Sensei, isn't your personal training a secret?" she asked looking at him seriously. "I wouldn't want to impose."
Naruto hummed in thought. "Perhaps, but nevertheless I'll be training in the forest anyways." In any case I'll accompany you into the forest, until I find a good clearing for myself." He smiled as he rested his hands behind his head as the two of them made their way into the forest.
"The forest… perfect." The intruder from before muttered grinning like a loon. "Finally, I'll finally have my revenge!" they shouted before charging into the forest.
"Principal…shouldn't we stop him?" Kotogari asked looking at the principal who was, as usual, sipping her tea while kneeling on the floor cushion being carried by her robot.
"A ninja who can't even get Uzumaki-sensei to even notice his presence is hardly worth the effort." The principal responded simply. "He'll either give up soon or Uzumaki-sensei will deal with him."
"Are you sure…?"
"Yes quite, there's no need to worry." The principal stated before heading back into the school. "There are very few people who pose any serious threat to someone of Uzumaki Naruto's caliber."
Naruto sneezed again. "Seriously is someone talking about me?" he wondered aloud getting a bemused look from Shikimi.
"Are you sure you're not coming down with a cold?" she asked getting an annoyed look from the blond. "I could make some herbal medicine for you."
"I've never been sick in my life, I doubt I'd start now." He muttered in response as he looked around the area. "This will do for my needs. If you need something you know where to find me." He declared as he took a meditative position. Shikimi nodded her head and headed deeper into the forest.
'Finally, this is the perfect opportunity!' the intruder internally screamed with joy. Using as much stealth as he could the ninja made his way over to Naruto's still form. 'DIE!' the man shouted within his own mind as he drew a dagger and swung it at Naruto's neck.
Suddenly Naruto leaned back while throwing his arms up in a yawn, coincidentally nailing his assailant in the groin. Pitching forward Naruto unknowingly flung the attacker deeper into the woods "Hm…?" he muttered looking at his fist oddly. "Was there someone behind me?" he wondered looking around. "Well no matter, I probably shouldn't have tried to meditate when I was still tired. I actually ended up falling asleep." He mused while rubbing his jaw. "Might as well practice with the Kunai, gotta make sure I don't lose my touch." He muttered before setting up some targets for him to aim at.
"Damn you Uzumaki Naruto!" the attacker from before cursed as he slowly made his way back to the clearing where Naruto was training. "I will kill you if it is the last thing I do!" he declared just as a stray Kunai snagged the cloth on his shoulder pinning him to a tree. "Shit does he know I'm here?" he muttered quickly pulled the Kunai out and disappearing into the trees.
"Huh?" Naruto muttered walking into the area. "Why is this Kunai on the ground?" he questioned looking around. "Did I fuck up that badly? I mean I know it's been a little bit since I used my kunai as actual projectiles, but I didn't think I degraded this badly." He rubbed his head shamefaced. "Shit better practice some more then."
"NOW!" the attacker shouted as he jumped at Naruto's exposed back.
"Oh hey I wonder what this does." Naruto mused cutting a string. With a loud sound a log swung by nailing the attacker out of the air and sending him flying into the forest. "Seriously was there someone here?" Naruto asked looking around.
"What are you mumbling about Sensei?" Azami asked as she walked into the clearing with Yusura.
"Oh, it's probably nothing, I keep getting the feeling that I'm being watched." Naruto explained while rubbing the back of his head. "It's been happening all day so I've been wondering if I'm just overly paranoid."
"According to my sources there has been a suspicious ninja spotted on grounds recently." The information gatherer stated getting a look from Naruto. "Supposedly they have been heard claiming to exact vengeance on you Sensei."
Naruto blinked "Who could be after me out here?" he wondered aloud looking around. "I left the nations on really good terms, and I haven't really stepped on any toes out here." He continued to muse as he paced in front of the two girls. "There's Taka, but we worked well together so that's probably not it." He hummed in thought as he continued to pace. "Was there anyone else?"
"Uzumaki-sensei seems troubled doesn't he Azami?" Yusura asked cheekily. "Lost like a puppy!"
"How does that even make sense Yusura?" Naruto asked looking at the smaller girl curiously.
"It…IT JUST DOES OKAY?" she yelled at him before blowing a raspberry at him.
"Okay…?" Naruto muttered as Yusura retreated into the forest.
"Don't mind her, she doesn't like it when her comparisons are questioned." Azami stated with a laugh. "She's probably going to meet her boyfriend."
"I thought you girls were into that whole 'love is forbidden' thing?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow. His response was a simple shrug of her shoulders.
"Not everyone follows every rule." Azami declared knowingly.
Deeper in the forest Himeji was practicing with her sword, trying to minimize her movements while retaining the lethality of her attacks when someone fell into her training zone. "Arisu?" she muttered in confusion. Opening their eyes the intruder looked up and blinked.
"Black lace." They muttered simply causing Himeji to blush as her anger began to boil.
"GET LOST!" she shouted punting the man out of the village.
At her home Tsukiyohime glanced up and saw something flying overhead. "A shooting star?" she wondered before clapping her hands and bowing her head. "I wonder what life will bring to us in the coming months." She mused taking a sip of her miso soup.
End
Alright there you go I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. As I mentioned at the start of the chapter I will likely end this within 2-5 chapters depending on how I feel.
I will probably make this announcement at least once in all of my current stories so here it is.
If you want to do a reading of a completed or in progress work of mine, please PM me for further details. As a side note I will never do a reading of any of my own works, so don't worry about that.
