AN: Here's the second part of the interviews! Yeah, you only had to wait four days. What do you say about that? Seriously what do you think about that? I mean ever since LoL went down on me, I can't play giving the free time I had set aside for that to appear here. But enough about me. This is about you guys! The chapter is here! Again, Vongola Maelstrom, both co-author, co-producer and beta reader is busier than myself at the moment, so this is un-beta-ed. Enjoy
DISCLAIMER: WE DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR NEGIMA, NOR THE FINAL FANTASY SERIES THAT INSPIRE NARUTO'S MAGICAL ABILITIES.
"Well...that was, 10 interviews so far," Naruto told himself. "11 if I count Sayo when she was missing."
"That leaves only 20 more then," Kyuubi told him.
"Oh shut up, you aren't even going to any of them at all."
"Your point is...?" Rolling his eyes, the blond mage left the fox alone. Off to go to more interviews.
Interview 12: Ku Fei
When Naruto arrived in the center of the plaza near the World Tree, he was not surprised to see Ku Fei beating several large men who seemed to have challenged the Chinese girl. Thinking to himself, the blond decided that this was a good opportunity to get some exercise in. Walking up to the group, Ku waved at him and he waved back. "What's up Ku?" Naruto asked.
"Just getting in some practice aru!" she confidently replied pumping her fists. "Though I may have to hold back against them next time."
"Don't worry about us Master Ku!" a random karate person shouted from the ground. Naruto looked over and winced a bit. His right eye was blackened, and his lip was busted. Looking carefully, he noticed that everyone was in some similar state of...pain. "We won't learn if you don't fight us with all you have! Isn't that right boys?"
"RIGHT!" the group of beaten fighters agreed from their spots on the floor. A bead of sweat fell from Naruto's forehead at the group's...enthusiasm.
"Well, ignoring them for now, it's time for your interview with me," Naruto stated as he turned to Ku.
"Okay. What do you want to know?"
"Likes, dislikes, hobbies, dream and your birthday are what I want to know. However, because you were fighting a few people, why not spar with me while we do so?"
"Ara? You sure Naruto-sensei?" She got a shrug in response. Naruto walked over to the railing of the stairs and took of his white black jacket, leaving him in only a white shirt with the Konoha symbol on the back and black pants. He proceeded to crack his knuckles and his neck. Stretching his arms and legs to limber up, it took nearly 3 minutes before he was ready. When he was, he walked up to her and bowed. Ku in turn bowed too and the two went into their stances.
"Okay Ku come at me." Not waiting for another moment, rushed in and threw a punch at him. Everyone watching was expecting him to dodge the move, but were surprised that he barely raised his arm. As her fist near his body, he reached out and stopped the attack by grabbing onto her wrist. Now that had people stopping in their tracks. Even Ku seemed surprised at what just occurred. She was brought out of her daze as Naruto gave her a light flick on the forehead before moving away from her. "Now, now, Ku don't get distracted. Now tell me what do you like?"
Ku just realized that she had found someone who can probably beat her, and was excited. "I like sticky buns," Ku started as she renewed her attack. Unlike before Naruto decided to dodge, and keep dodging. Every forward thrust she did Naruto moved slightly to the side to let the attack go sailing over his head. Though as she kept attacking, Ku kept talking. "I also like strong men aru."
Naruto chuckled as he jumped over a low sweep at his feet. "Well, I guess only strong men can keep up with you huh?" he replied as he landed and ducked a second kick. After the second kick Naruto rushed Ku and flicked her forehead again, causing his opponent to wince a bit. "Now tell me what you don't like?" Ku went for a palm thrust, and feinted into a punch, but Naruto was able to stop that attack by once again grabbing onto her wrist. For a third time in the small spar, Naruto flicked her forehead.
"Ouch...those actually hurt aru," Ku complained as again Naruto moved away. This gave her a chance to touch her now bruising forehead.
"I've been learning to fight since I was young Ku. I'd have to have a lot of muscle by now. I'll ask again what do you not like?"
"New inventions in food and swords," Ku answered as she got up and went on the attack again. During these next few attacks, Naruto decided to block or parry them instead of dodging. He caught all her punches and redirected her other attacks by pushing them away. "Why do you not fight seriously aru?"
"Because I'm more used to using swords," Naruto smirked. He broke through her defenses again after a missed kick, and gave her a lighter flick on the nose before retreating again. "I like my swords, so that is something we won't ever agree on. Now tell me about your hobbies." She was about to attack again, but Naruto held up his hand. "That is enough for now Ku. I don't want to be really sweaty during my next interview."
"Oh sorry," Ku apologized, but was disappointed. She still wanted to fight, and wanted him to take it seriously. "I like training and working at the Chao Bao Zi with Chao and everyone else aru. My dream is to be the best martial artist in my style and show the world the strength of martial arts!" Those who were watching and practitioners of a style shouted their agreement. Naruto laughed, then bowed. Turning around and grabbing his jacket, he looked back at Ku.
"Well, it seems like I don't have to worry about you having problems with your dreams. You're on your way there already. Though I have to warn you. Out in the world are some strong characters, hopefully you won't be badly hurt by them. So train hard, but don't hurt yourself, 'kay."
"Hai Naruto-sensei," Ku bowed, grateful for the advice. "Oh and my birthday is on March 16."
"March 16? Man, why are all of your girls' birthdays before now? Its all in April and March, nothing in May," Naruto whined. "I swear its like none of you want a birthday present." Turning back to the girl he gave her a nod before walking off to the next place.
Interview 13: Konoka Konoe
"Konnichiwa Naruto-sensei!" Konoka greeted as Naruto surprisingly appeared at her club meeting. Several girls were blushing when he came in and smiled at them.
"Afternoon to you too Konoka-chan," Naruto replied as he took a seat across from her. "I didn't know you were in the fortune telling club."
"Its a hobby of mine," the brunette smiled back. "Would you like for me to tell your future?" The blond closed his eyes for a moment and then nodded his head.
"Sure, I'd like to see what the future has in store for me here at Mahora. You going to read the tarot cards for this?"
"No, I'm going to be using a crystal ball." Just as she said that, the girl produced a crystal ball from underneath the table. "Okay, let's do this." The girl began staring into the ball and seemed to squint into it. "You are going to lose...something important while you are here. It seems to be close to your heart, the thing that you will lose. Though you will also gain numerous things in its place."
"That's...rather vague isn't it?" Naruto asked.
"Well, fortune telling isn't specific to each person. Its just a general guess to your future." Naruto nodded his head before smirking.
"Well, I got a prediction of the future too then."
"Oh what would that be Naruto-sensei?"
"You are going to tell me about yourself in the next few minutes." Konoka giggled in response.
"It's not a prediction if you already know its going to happen Naruto-sensei."
"Hahaha, true. Though we should get this interview on the move. All those girls looking at my back like I'm some piece of meat makes me feel uncomfortable." Konoka looked behind the blond and saw that he was right. Several of the girls were checking him out as he spoke to her. "Please make this quick."
"Hai, Naruto-sensei. As you know my name is Konoka Konoe seat 13 of our class, also the granddaughter of the headmaster here."
"You're Eishun's kid?" Naruto asked in surprise. Naruto looked at her closely before tilting his head to the side. "You look almost nothing like him."
"Hehehe, I look a lot more like my mom silly. Now let's see what do I want to say to you about myself?" Konoka tapped her chin. "Again, my name is Konoka Konoe, seat 13 of the class. My birthday is on March 18. I like fortune telling, the supernatural and cooking. I don't think I dislike anything very much. My hobbies are helping others and collecting cool magical stuff. My dream is to not be part of any arranged marriage my grandfather sets up for me and live my own life."
"Your grandpa is trying to force you into an arranged marriage?" the blond asked in shock.
"Yeah. He think's it will be good for me."
"I don't. Hey, I'll talk to your grandpa about it. The old man would probably listen to me when I do."
"You'll talk to grandpa about what?"
"Asking him to stop those arranged marriages. One of my friends from back home keeps getting those, but gets out of them with my help. So I'll do the same for you."
"You sure?"
"Of course." Standing up, Naruto stretched his arms and gave a small wave to Konoka. "Well, our meeting is up so see you around Konoka-chan. Though I wonder what your prediction meant."
"You shouldn't really take it seriously Naruto-sensei," the brunette replied. Naruto shrugged his shoulders and left the room, avoiding the girls who were staring at him as he did.
Interview 14: Haruna Saotome
The interview between Naruto and Haruna was taking place in their dorm, right before going to sleep for the night. Yue and Nodoka were out taking a bath. Naruto was already wearing his pajamas, Haruna was wearing a nightgown and they were talking on her bed. "Okay Haruna-chan, tell me about yourself."
"Okay Naruto-kun!" Haruna replied happily. "I'm Haruna Saotome, seat 14. My birthday is on August 18. I like tea ceremonies," she stopped when she saw her interviewer raising an eyebrow at her. "What?"
"Really? Tea ceremonies?"
"What's wrong with that?" Haruna pouted.
"Nothing. I'd never take you for a tea ceremony loving girl. I'd take you for more of a trouble maker than anything else."
"Oh, don't worry Naruto-kun, I love causing trouble too. It's just like having some sort of peacefulness in my life. Cute boy's are another thing I like." She winked at Naruto to make a point, and Naruto rolled his eyes, but didn't dissuade the girl from it. "I dislike various reptiles and deadlines on things."
"Must hate that part of school then huh?" Naruto smirked, which was matched by the girl across from him.
"Got that right. My hobbies are listening to a good rumor and gossip, as well as making my own manga." Now that had Naruto's attention.
"You make a manga?"
"It still in the works, but I'm letting the manga club look through it."
"I see. If you ever make it big, I'll sponsor you. Hell, if I like how your manga is going at the moment, I'll start to try to fund you now." It was now Haruna who's eyes widened.
"What do you mean Naruto-kun?"
"Let me look over your work one day. If I find that I like it, I'll fund it with some of my money."
"Really now?"
"Yeah. I mean it's not that hard, especially with all the money I make." Closing his eyes, Naruto nodded his head. Since his eyes were closed, he didn't see Haruna move. He only noticed it, when Haruna had slammed into him, giving him a hug, pressing her chest into his.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Haruna shouted as she kept hugging him. Naruto didn't stop her from what she was doing, because he was really liking the feeling of what she was doing. Hell, he hadn't had any action since he left Theodora back about a year ago when he left the magical world. Plus, having zero to no contact with females most of the time during his travels around the world with Kyuubi was rather taxing on his needs.
"Yeah, your welcome." Naruto gave her a small hug back. "Now can you stop rubbing your bust against me and tell me what your dream is?"
"My dream is to one day rule the world...I mean make it big as mangaka," the mangaka corrected herself. "And why should I stop, when you're obviously liking what I'm doing?" To emphasize her she went to grab near his crotch area. She was luckily (unluckily) stopped by the door banging opening. There was a small blue blur and Haruna was shoved off of Naruto.
"Wha-?" Haruna asked confused.
"Sexually harassing our roommate again?" Yue asked from next to the bed. She looked at the blond who was sighing in relief. What she didn't know was that he was relieved about was that he didn't have to worry about what Haruna was doing to him, though he was rather disappointed that nothing had happened. Again, he hadn't had any action in a year.
"Thanks Yue-chan. I think I'm going to sleep," Naruto thanked the little girl before heading to the couch. He heard a bit of arguing as he feigned sleep. Though at one point later on in the night as he still laid awake, he swore he heard Haruna say.
"This is not over Naruto-kun! I will get you one day~!" Now that sent a shiver down his spine, though whether it was from fear or anticipation he didn't know.
Interview 15: Setsuna Sakurazaki
"I'm taking it you don't trust me?" Naruto asked as Setsuna. He was currently held against the wall, with a blade being held by girl pointed at his throat.
"I'm not sure of what think of you Naruto-sensei," Setsuna said as she kept the blade on his neck. "I know the other teachers trust you, especially Takahata-sensei. I myself am not sure that I can trust you. Not with you carrying around a demon who is stronger than most in this world. That and you claim to know me, yet I don't know you." The blond who she was currently threatening started to laugh, which confused her greatly. Then in a second, she was overpowered by said blond, and found herself on her back with a black and gold blade pointed at her neck.
"You're about 100 years to young to even think of beating me," Naruto said. Taking the weapon of her neck, the boy managed to turn the blade into a bracelet around his right hand. "Since you don't really trust me. Let's get this little interview over with, ne Setsuna-chan." He leaned against a wall waiting for the girl to get up and dust herself off. As she did, she wouldn't stop glaring at the man who with a carefree smile. They were silent for a few moments, before Setsuna began to speak again.
"My name is Setsuna Sakurazaki, seat 15. Birthday is on January 17. I like training with my sword and my Ojou-sama."
"You like your Ojou-sama? Wonder who can that be..." Naruto thought aloud interrupting the girl. "If I can remember correctly, you practice the Shinmei Ryu style from Kyoto. That must mean you followed Eishun a bit, leading to the fact that you must like...Konoka-chan." He looked at her with one eye, and saw that she was blushing at his little declaration.
"D-Don't be ridiculous! Why would I like Ojou-sama like that?"
"Like what?" A smirk grew on his face. "I never said about liking her in some odd sort of way? Unless..." Stopping for a dramatic effect, Naruto leaned in closer and whispered, "you swing for the other team?" That had the girl blushing in embarrassment.
"W-Why would you think something like that!" Taking a moment to compose herself, Setsuna cleared her throat before looking at him again. "I dislike injustice and chatting. My hobbies are training and protecting Ojou-sama."
"I knew you liked training, you find it fun even though it's more of a chore than anything else. You told me that a few years ago, when we trained in that forest in Kyoto."
"A few years ago...in Kyoto?" Setsuna asked in surprise. "We met there before."
"Yeah we did. I even gave you that necklace of a wing around your neck." The girl's hand instinctively went to the thing around her neck and her eyes widened at the truth he spoke.
"How...come I can't remember this?" Setsuna asked. Naruto sighed, and ran a hand through his hair.
"That would be my fault, that you can't remember. Though I think that is a story for another time. Our time together has elapsed." Pushing off the wall, Naruto dusted himself off before going to walk away.
"Naruto-sensei wait!" Setsuna called out. Naruto stopped in his tracks and stared at her. "Will you tell me what occurred between us one day?" Naruto thought about it and then smiled.
"Sure...if you can beat me in a fight. Until then, I won't tell you. For now just try to remember."
Interview 16 Makie Sasaki
Naruto was watching his next interviewee just like he had done with Akira. This time he was watching Makie, doing some rhythmic gymnastics around a matted floor in the gym. In his opinion, he thought the girl pink headed girl in a pink and white leotard was doing really well, not that he knew much about gymnastics. That was one career path he had avoided in his jack of all trades business. After her routine was done he clapped for her, which must have caught her by surprise since she whipped around and stared at him with wide eyes. He watched her turn to her friends and say something, before walking up to him. "Good afternoon Naruto-sensei," Makie greeted a bit winded from her exercise.
"Good afternoon to you too Makie," Naruto returned the greeting. "Great job out there."
"Thank you. I was trying my best for that practice since it's still not perfected enough."
"What was wrong with it?"
"Well, there were some parts where I was going too fast, and other parts where I was not making the right turn. Sometimes my ribbon was not turning the right way-" She would have kept going if Naruto handed put his hand on her mouth.
"If I take off my hand, will you keep ranting about how bad you did?" Makie shook her head negatively. "Good." Taking off his hand, Naruto sighed and pointed at the place next to him. "To be honest Makie-chan, I'm not well informed about gymnastics as I am with other sports, but to me you looked like you were doing rather well. I might say better than some of the other girls, but again I'm not so sure."
"Thank you for the compliment," Makie beamed at him. Naruto shrugged and kept staring out into the now empty gym.
"Tell me about yourself Makie."
"Well, as you already know I am Makie Sasaki, seat 16 of 3-A. I'm also Baka Pink of the Baka Rangers."
"Baka Rangers? What's that?"
"We are the five girls in the class who gets the lowest grades. The group consists of me, Yue, Ku Fei, Kaede and Asuna."
"Yue-chan is in it? I thought she was a smart girl."
"Oh she is, she just hates studying."
"Oh right! She said that to me." He then looked at her a bit apologetically. "Sorry for interrupting again."
"No, it's fine sensei. My likes are rhythmic gymnastics, cute things, and Negi," she had whispered the last part but he had caught it, though he said nothing. "I dislike slimy things. My hobbies are rhythmic gymnastics and hanging out with my friends. My dream is to..." Naruto was rather surprised to see her blush as she looked off into the distance dreamily. "Also to be a professional gymnast," she looked at him again and continued as if she didn't have a large blank in between her words.
Nodding his head, Naruto pattered her head and stood up. "I'm starting to wonder if this classes doesn't have anyone who isn't aiming high," the blond said more to himself than her. "I hope you make your dream come true, oh and I won't tell Negi you like him. You probably do that enough on your own." Makie blushed when Naruto mentioned Negi and nodded her head. As he left, Naruto kept thinking about how many girls in the class actually like his godson.
Interview 17 Sakurako Shiina
Naruto was sipping tea in Sakurako's dorm, which she shared with Madoka. He was also watching Kyuubi chasing after two black furred cats. The cats kept running away, and through their mental connection Naruto could hear Kyuubi's thoughts.
'RUN LITTLE KITTIES RUN! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!' was the thoughts running through the fox's head as he chased the cats that were screeching at him.
"Do you want me to make Kyuu stop chasing your cats?" he asked Sakurako who was also watching her pets begin chased by the fox.
"No, it's okay. I love my cats and all, but I think it's about time those two got their exercise," Sakurako replied as a cat dashed over the table, which was followed by the demonic fox laughing crazily in Naruto's head. "Hopefully Kyuubi won't hurt them to bad."
"He won't. He just hasn't had enough time chasing things in a while. He chased a squirrel a few days ago, which caused me to crash my motorcycle." That made the girl giggle, and Naruto smile. "So tell me about yourself Sakurako-chan."
Pointing to herself she started, "My name is Sakurako Shiina, seat 17. My birthday is on June 9. I'm the third member of Mahora cheerleading group. As well as the drummer of Dekopin Rocket. (AN: in the previous chapter I had put that Madoka was the drummer, which was a fumble on my part. I had fixed that now. Madoka's dream is to be a big guitarist.)"
"You're part of a band?" Naruto inquired.
"Yup! It consists of me, Ako, Misa and Madoka."
"So that was the band Madoka-chan had mentioned..." the mage whispered to himself.
"Yup! I like that band, Karaoke, as well as Cookie and Bikke: my cats." She then frowned at the things she loved before continuing. "I hate it though when they scare me when I'm in the kitchen or bathroom."
"I understand that feeling. Though for me it's more like irritation since Kyuubi tends to steal my clothes and lose them."
"That explains why you were so mad on the first day huh?" Sakurako giggled.
"Yeah, though do continue."
"Alright, my hobbies are cheerleading, singing, lacrosse and gambling." Naruto smirked.
"You like to gamble?"
"Yup! I always win. The girl's say I have the devil's luck."
"Funny, people say the same about me too." A thoughtful smile went on his face. "Do you know any good place to gamble at? It doesn't have to be money, just like food tickets for class and what not." Sakurako closed her eyes to think, and within a second nodded her head.
"Well, it's not a real place but we can challenge the rest of the class or other classes to games and bet food tickets for the cafeteria if you wanted to. Why do you ask?" The smile on his face, became feral as he started to laugh maniacally.
"What do you say we have some fun?" Grabbing her hand, Naruto started to drag the girl out of the room. They headed over to a different dorm and proposed a challenge to them to several types of games, betting food tickets instead of real money. By the end of the afternoon, the dorm for the class 3-S, was run out of food tickets while Sakurako was wielding a bag of tickets home. Naruto felt a bit guilty at that, and left his winnings with the girls, as well as some extra money in envelopes for the girls who had lsot.
Interview 18 Mana Tatsumiya
"10,000 yen," were the first words that came out of the girl's mouth as Naruto sat across from the one and only Mana Tatsumiya. They had met up at a small coffee shop, and sat outside since there was great weather that day.
"Excuse me?" Naruto asked, completely confused by what the girl had said.
"10,000 yen for every piece of information that comes out of my mouth. That is how much I want from you," Mana stated again as she crossed her arms under her rather ample chest. Now Naruto barked with laughter as he heard that.
"Ah. That's rich," the blond stated. This managed to irritate the tanned girl across from him. "I had a feeling that you may have had demands like that. So I did some research on you before coming here."
"That is a bit...creepy Naruto-sensei," Mana deadpanned.
"Please, mercenaries like ourselves must be resourceful when it comes to our jobs. You are Mana Tatsumiya, seat 18. You were born November 17, 1988. You like darts, billiards, "Anmitsu" or Japanese Darts, as well as puppies." As he said the last words, Mana's eyes widened. "Wondering how I got that last bit?"
"Yes, so I can kill who ever said that to you."
"10,000 yen," Naruto stated the same price Mana had told him before. When she glared, he just rolled his eyes and continued talking. "You dislike okra and shrimp. You are part of the University level biathlon, and that is just the information I have about you on your academics. Just like how I know you have a pactio on you, one with a dead mage." This made Mana narrow her eyes, and her hand had twitched towards her hip. "Oh don't pull that gun out here. Kyuubi is watching the entire thing, and can cast his own spells you know that right?" Mana growled and kept glaring at him.
"How did you find out that information?" she demanded.
"I have a large information network, all over both worlds. This is with the help of Jack Rakan's influence as well as connections I have made through my jobs. Though, I do want to apologize to you for going into your personal life."
"I should hurt you for doing that."
"Ah but you won't. There is really nothing in it for you if you do, save the satisfaction of hearing me scream in paying."
"Exactly." The two sat quietly for a few minutes. Mana glaring, and Naruto drinking some tea.
"I have a proposition for you, Mana-chan."
"Not interested," was her curt reply.
"Not even for the chance of a lot of money?"
"How much?" Mana asked.
"You get 40% of the payment I get, if you accept," Naruto admitted.
"40%?" Isn't that rather small?"
"You expect me to give you more? I mean all I'm asking of you is to be an associate of mine in my business. I'm a jack of all trades, in other words I'm a mercenary like yourself. Be my business partner in my company and I'll give you 40% of every job we do. You can accept your own jobs and keep a majority of the money you make, but I want 30% of the amount you are paid." Man sat there contemplating what he had told her. Running the idea through her mind, she slowly nodded her head.
"Deal."
"Good," Naruto smiled. He handed her a yellow envelope from his jacket and handed it to her. "That contains the password and access codes to the website of our jobs. They list jobs there and we accept it. Right now, I am running several minor jobs at the same time, with one big one at this school."
"A big one?" Naruto nodded. "By any chance did Chao ask you to join her little cause?" Naruto's smile was all the answer she need. "I see. I think, that our partnership will be a good thing to have Naruto-sensei."
"You don't need to call me that. It's just Naruto to you, since we are coworkers after all." Mana nodded her head. The two parted after that, with Naruto paying for the drinks the two had gotten.
Interview 19 Chao Lingshen
"Hello Chao-chan," Naruto smiled at the Chinese girl as he ate the food he had ordered from her restaurant.
"Hello Naruto-kun. How are you today?" Chao replied taking a seat across from him.
"I'm doing well, and you?"
"I'm doing well too." Chao stopped talking, and just watched Naruto eating the meat buns he had ordered, as well as letting the bowl of ramen next to him simmer down a little bit. "Do we really have to go over what I told you at the beginning of the week?"
"Just a quick recap would be good, so the readers would understand more about you," Naruto answered still eating his food.
"Readers?" Chao asked confused. Naruto stopped eating, before shaking his head.
"Nothing, don't worry about what I said. Just go over what you said to me on Monday, and then we can get into our real conversation."
"Hai. I'm Chao Lingshen, seat 19. Born on December first. I like world domination, though I dislike the world being controlled by a single country. I also hate war and cycles of hatred. My hobbies are working at the Chao Bao Zi and working in all the science clubs as well as practicing martial arts. My dream is take over the world." In response to that, Naruto nodded his head as if it wasn't that big of a deal for a 15 girl to say that.
"Okay." Reaching into his pocket he put money on the table before turning to Chao. "Do you want to talk business here or somewhere more private?"
"Private would be good ne," Chao replied. Naruto stood up and left with Chao by his side, but not before she told Satsuki that she was leaving the restaurant.
Interview 20 Kaede Nagase
"How long are you going to keep following me, ninja-san?" Naruto asked after his interview with Mana. Looking up into one of the World Tree's branches, he was met with nothing but silence. He kept staring at the tree, until he saw some movement. If he wasn't a trained fighter, Naruto wouldn't have been able to dodge the attack that was coming from behind him. Stepping slightly to the side, the attacked missed and hit nothing but air. He then took a step back as another attack attempted to hit him. The next move that was coming towards him, he caught with his hand. "Hehe, you really think that would be enough to defeat me Kaede-chan?" He looked at the fist in his hand and smiled at the girl with small eyes.
"You seem more skilled than I thought Naruto-sensei," Kaede smiled back at him. Letting go of her hand, he motioned for Kaede to sit with him at a nearby table. "Sorry for stalking you de gozaru. I just wanted to see how you are going to treat the girls around school. Safe to say you were such a nice person."
"Of course, why wouldn't I be a nice person?" Naruto asked as he sat down. "Though you have perfect time, or rather I called out at you at the right time. It's time for your interview."
"Oh is it really?" Kaede asked as she sat down across from him. "I must have lost track of time de gozaru." She smiled at him and nodded hear head. "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Kaede Nagase, Chuunin of the Koga Ninja clan, as well as seat 20 of the class. My birthday is on November 11."
"Kaede-chan wait," the teacher interrupted. "For a ninja you are willingly giving out information about yurself so easily. I didn't even ask for what clan of ninja you are from, and you told that to me."
"Hahahaha, it's okay," she answered. "I'm sure we'll be working together for a while now. So, I do not mind telling you about myself de gozaru. But to continue, I like pudding and relaxing. Even though I like to train, its the relaxing after that that makes it great."
"I hear you," Naruto agreed. "After all the times the old fart ran me into the ground, just relaxing for a bit in a good hot spring feels so good."
"I see we agree on that." The two nodded to each other, finding some common ground. "What I dislike though, are frogs."
"Oh? I don't have a problem with them really. They're not as bad as you may think."
"That is where we disagree de gozaru. My hobbies are training and just resting, as well as doing the strolling club. My dream is to make it as a great ninja within my clan."
"Ah, yet another ambitious person," Naruto sighed. "Really you girls have all high goals. I mean really." Naruto closed his eyes before smiling. "When you become the strongest of your clan, come find and challenge me. I want to see the strength of the ninja of this world."
"Hai Naruto-sensei." She stared at him for a moment, before smirking. "We should spar sometimes de gozaru. That way I can measure myself up to you."
"That sounds like a good idea, though you have to get in line. I challenged both Ku and Setsuna to beat me too."
"I'll see to it that I do beat you." The two remained quiet for a few more minutes before Naruto spoke again.
"You hungry? I'll buy you some food."
"What type of food?" Kaede asked.
"Any thing you want. You were my last meeting of the day, so I guess I'll treat you out."
"That would be most wonderful de gozaru."
Interview 21 Chizuru Naba
"Well, this is an odd place to find you," Naruto stated as he sat down on a bench. He was eyeing all the kids who were looking at him, as well as the caretaker, who was also his next interviewee. "Chizuru-chan, I take it you like taking care of kids."
"Oh I do. I dream to have a big family one day," Chizuru laughed/giggled. "This is a good way to get some practice." Turning to the children she shooed them away, before taking a seat next to Naruto. "What would you like to know Naruto-sensei?"
"The general stuff Chizuru-chan. I already know what your dream is, so tell me about your likes, dislikes hobby and birthday."
"Ah I see. As you may or may not know, my name is Chizuru Naba, seat 21 of the class. My birthday is on January 29. I like life without too much incident and taking care of others."
"Ah, now that makes sense as to why you work at a daycare too." The girl nodded her head.
"That's right. I just find great joy in taking care of other people."
"That's good to hear. You want to run a daycare when you grow up?" This time Chizuru shrugged.
"Maybe. I'll have to get through high school and college first." The blond chuckled and nodded his head.
"Of course, but do continue."
"Okay, I dislike long distance relationships and I hate being alone."
"Who doesn't hate being alone?" Naruto sighed. "I know I hated it when I was younger."
"What do you mean?" Chizuru asked.
"Nothing to worry your pretty little head on, Chizuru-chan." Chizuru kept staring at him before deciding to drop the subject.
"My hobbies are watching the stars and again taking care of others. You already know my dream."
"Yeah I do. Sadly," the blond stated as he stood up and stretched his arms, "that is one dream I really can't help in. Just like a few other girls who just want to live a happy life with the one they love." Naruto looked up at the clouds before turning back to her. "Well, for that I wish you luck. Also if your boyfriend ever gives you trouble when you get one, just give me a call." He gave her a slight wink before turning to some of the kids. "Hey kiddies remember me?"
"Narudo-san!" every kid shouted, causing the blond to face fault and the caretaker to laugh.
"How many times do I have to say it? My name is NA-RU-TO! To!" Naruto grumbled as he massaged his temples. He smiled back at the kids before continuing what he was saying. "Do you want to hear another story?"
"Will it have another princess in it?" a little girl asked.
"Of course."
"Will there be action?" a boy asked.
"You bet!"
"Will there be romance?" Chizuru asked from behind him. Looking over his shoulder, Naruto smiled and nodded his head.
"Definitely. This is the story of the Red Wings saving the Princess of Twilight from the grasp of an evil empire."

AN: Tell me what you think! Leave a review. I'll probably have the next chapter up by...Thursday seeing as I just had my math test and don't have to study for a bit. Though I do have another speech to think about.
