AN* And I have returned. I apologize for such a long wait but my muse has been demanding my attention for other works that I have yet to post here and wouldn't shut up until I at least got the first chapter down. Now I know I normally update all at once but at the moment I had the idea for this one and since it's finished I wanted to get it up for all of you. Now on to the reviews and then the story.
Soleneus: Thank you for the review, and I will do your Omake next chapter as I have never played Borderlands 2 and I need to do some research into this before I do it(though a friend of mine says that this sounds epic). Also thank you for the support, though I wouldn't call it depression exactly... I didn't say anything about this when I last updated but I have grieved and made my peace. My father Richard Dvorak passed away at the beginning of march and it was difficult for me since I was so very rarely around and didn't see a lot of my dad when he really needed the support. I blamed myself for not being there more and thus the depression. However I know my dad wouldn't want me to mope and would want me to keep doing what I love, which is write. So here we are.
Fairy Tail Dragon Slayer: I thank you for the criticism and I will work on fixing these things. I always appreciate honest critiques that can help me fix my writing.
TeninChwang: I do agree with your statement on the whole harem issue and admit that I have been guilty of that in the past when I first started writing and was following massive cliches. This story is a harem one by vote request, however that doesn't mean that every single woman will be with Naruto. I plan on having build up before Naruto starts a relationship with any of these women and not just rushing blindly in, because as the Jubi explained you can fall out of love with people as well. So some girls may only be with him for a short time and others may be in for the long haul. Feel free to message me if you think there is something wrong with the way I am writing it out and I will see what I can do to fix this. And also I disagree on statement that only anime uses the harem issue, as I know of a very good series of books that has a harem with one of the main characters and they made it very believable and I plan on following his example.
Have A Little Feith: First, it was written that way in the english manga where I first started reading this series so cut me a little slack. Second I realized my mistake after I published the chapter and I will go back and fix it later today or tomorrow. Thanks for the catch though.
Jose19: Thanks for the review, and as for how strong Naruto is, well he is classified as a God class youkai, as is Alucard when he makes his appearance. A God class is to an S class what an S class is to an A class. And even among the God class youkai there are different levels of power as their age and experience can have an effect on their abilities. Now for the Harem, that I will think on as I haven't decided who the Alpha would be though it will likely be Mizore due to length of time on the relationship. Now as for the prophecy, I refuse to give anything away on that regard as I have something amazing planned on that regard.
LelouchXKallen: Dude, the thing is listed under Naruto and Mizore. It is part of the challenge that they have to be together which I personally have no complaint with as they would make a good couple in my opinion.
gsparda: Was it that obvious who the exception was? Man I need to work on my subtly more. And I agree with you on how they defeated Alucard, it kind of sucked.
Arashi Uzukage: I know this, however look at the date this story was first published and then look at the date they revealed that the Jubi was revealed to use Senjutsu. This story was made before that detail was revealed and thus I didn't know it when I started. It is why I have ignored the updated versions of Naruto as I have worked on this story as it holds no relevance to what I have planned.
TheMagicManWithThePlan: I might give them to him later. I have considered that an option but I am hesitant to do it as I would need an explanation as to why he is able to do that.
Cerulean Knight: That would be telling. Spoilers Sweetie(Points to you if you get the reference there ^_^)
Tronop04: Your Omake will be at the end of this chapter. Enjoy. Also Tsukune will be in the story later, but this is just to show what has been happening with him to this point.
TheLastNanaya: That was a my bad on trusting my former Beta. I picked him up for that chapter and he said it was that way. I caught it after it was posted and will be fixing it later today or tomorrow.
jjjjj: That is your opinion and I will respect it. However I hold to the fact that while the Naruto people are stronger than your average youkai, most would still be killed by them. And other than the body flicker technique most aren't that fast. While yes with that they could avoid Gin, he would still likely get them over time as they would need to stop to hit him while he could just keep moving. I do think about these things before I write them.
Slytherin's Pimp: I won't be revealing who is in the harem until they are introduced into it. And some may not be staying if they get in, bear in mind that just because you fall in love with someone when you are in high school doesn't mean you are still with them once you are in your late twenties.
semexx: I appreciate you review but no I will not rewrite it. Naruto is the way he is towards the Jubi because he made it perectly clear to Naruto what he was going to do if he ever got out. The Biju had some humanity to them and the Jubi has yet to show that to Naruto, so Naruto is taking precautions for the good of the world. As for how Mikogami sensed Naruto arriving, Naruto is unable to really control how much power he is emitting and that high a level could be felt through the barrier and by almost every youkai. Most just dismissed the matter but quite a few have taken note of it as will be revealed in later chapters, and thus Mikogami decided to capitalize on the moment and bring whatever it was to him and try to use it to his advantage. As for Anti-Thesis, they were called Anti-Schoolers in the English Manga at first. I have changed it in this chapter to correct my mistake but remember that I am not perfect. There are cities, as Amegakure would be a good example of it, and during Naruto's travels with Jiraiya he would have seen at least one. I disagree with the fast paced comment in the first chapter and feel that by doing it the way that you recommend would only drag things out and be annoying to most readers as well as to myself. It's one thing to take the time to explain things but quite another to add chapters on to just increase the length of the wait to get him to the school. As for the form he sent the bus driver to get Naruto so as to not potentially startle a very powerful and dangerous unknown with multiple people coming for him. Naruto decided to go with the bus driver because of the fact that he needed somewhere to go and this was a potential lead as to getting home. Also bear in mind that Naruto is not Tsukune, he is not as laid back and meek as Tsukune and is more likely to raise all hell if something goes wrong. Naruto is OOC due to the amount of time that has passed since the war and has taken that time to think first and act second, due to the fact that if he dies he unleashes a monster that could destroy the entire world. I thank you for the long and detailed review and I hope that this explains my choices in why I did what i did.
Aznpat: It may seem rushed but most of these initial villains were pretty weak compared to Naruto and he didn't need a lot of help to handle them. There wasn't a whole lot that I could do with them.
Ok now that the reviews are done let me say one thing really quick. This chapter does encompass quite a bit and it doesn't follow the manga as closely as I am trying to show the ripple effect that is occurring from Naruto's presence. You are going to be seeing more and more of this as things go on and I am hoping that you enjoy what I have done for this chapter. Enjoy.
Blood
"He needs to be dealt with." was the simple statement made to the other Anti-Thesis members as they met to decide how to deal with the ever growing thorn in their side.
"But how is the question." another remarked "I mean this is the guy who smacked Kuyou around like he was an uppity C class youkai."
"I may have a solution to this little problem." a third chuckled as he began to lay out the plan.
"It could work." a woman noted "Most pure-breds have a hard time fighting against numbers."
"Than it's decided. Naruto Uzumaki will be eliminated." the first one stated as this was met with agreement by the others.
Said individual was just awakening as he glared at the alarm clock and decided that blasting it with a ball of fire would not be a good decision. Grumbling to himself he got ready for the day, going through his usual morning rituals before heading out for his morning training session with the girls. As he arrived in the cemetery where they were meeting he saw that the four of them were already waiting for him, and it seemed they were discussing a plan on how to defeat him.
"Ready?" Naruto asked as he set down his backpack with theirs and moving across from them, taking off Moka's rosario as he passed by.
"We sure are." Kurumu grinned "Today is the day that I win that date with you!"
Naruto only chuckled as he slipped into a fighting stance and faced his sparring partners. Due to Naruto's unbroken winning streak he had come up with a wager for them so that they would try even harder to defeat him. Kurumu had wanted to go on an official date with him, Yukari had asked for him to do one request that she would make after she won, and Mizore hadn't said what she wanted but that he would know when she finally beat him. Moka was the only one that hadn't needed any extra incentive to fight him, as her inner self had stated that the esteem of being the first to defeat him would be worth more than any trivial reward. The match started with a bang as Yukari and Mizore worked together to send a barrage of icicles and tarot cards at him while Kurumu grabbed Moka and took to the sky to have the vampire attack him from above. Naruto simply started to weave through the onslaught as he moved further and further into the graveyard, stopping as he saw Moka's shadow being dropped on him. Flipping forward he dodged the initial kick and focused his chakra into his legs as he kicked a headstone at her that she back handed into nothing more than small rocks.
"Nice try." Moka chuckled "But it's time you learned your place."
"Bring it." Naruto grinned as they began exchanging blows, with Naruto grinning more as he saw that Moka had been taking these training sessions seriously and had started to gain an actual fighting style that she had developed to combat his unpredictable style. It made her just as hard to predict as him, though she relied on power compared to his speed and this made for interesting matches between the two. As Naruto flipped through the air to avoid a deadly upper cut he saw Mizore hadn't been idle as she sent a massive barrage of ice kunai at him while Kurumu dived towards him, trying to entrap him in an illusion. Twisting as he landed he managed to put a tombstone to his back and used it to deflect the kunai as he began fluctuating his chakra to stop any potential illusion before it could start. Once the sounds of impacts stopped Naruto moved in time to avoid Moka's trademark axe kick that crushed the tombstone as two tarot cards came around in a pincer that would have hit him if he hadn't moved.
"Nice work ladies." Naruto applauded as he stood up and rolled up his sleeves to show the seals "You've just earned the right to fight me without weights."
"Crap." Moka cursed as she grabbed a headstone and chucked it at him. Naruto only jumped over it as he touched the wrists and suddenly felt the rush of being so much lighter. Landing he bounched on the balls of his feet for a few seconds before taking off at insane speeds that left after images of him that the girls were trying to figure out where the real one was. Yukari was the first one taken out as he appeared behind her and with a chop to the neck knocked her out. As he did this he saw Kurumu had spotted him as well as Mizore and smirked as he saw them both target him. Leaping into the air he managed to land on Kurumu's back and send her crashing into the ground where he turned and realized that he should have gone for Mizore first as he got hit with a blast of freezing wind that slowed him down for a second as Moka struck from the side, punching him hard enough to send him skidding a few feet back. It was then that Moka realized the mistake as she saw the tags on the tombstones around her.
"Boom." Naruto chuckled as he triggered the trap, dazing the girl and blinding her with the debris as he charged straight towards Moka, tackling her to the ground and then rolling forward as he charged straight at Mizore who couldn't react in time as he grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to the tree where she blinked at the impact and saw that he had stopped a kunai just over her eye.
"Darn." she muttered as Naruto smiled gently at her as he turned and saw that Moka was back on her feet and was stalking towards him.
"Ready?" she asked.
"Always." Naruto nodded as they began another exchange of blows. The pair fought for a few more minutes before he finally managed to wear down Moka to the point where he could get in the final blow needed to knock her senseless and for him to win.
"Game." he sighed as he checked the stopwatch that he had hanging from his backpack "And the final time is 31 minutes and 11 seconds. New record."
"Hurrah..." Kurumu grumbled from where she lay "I thought you weren't going to use those seals anymore?"
"Unless you push me to that." Naruto stated "You four have improved quite a bit since these sessions started and it's obvious to anyone that knows you. When we first started this I didn't have to release the seals to beat you, but now I have to unless I'm using my special abilities."
"But that isn't fair since you can just tie us up with our shadows." Yukari complained.
"Most of you." Naruto corrected "Moka breaks out every time, and Kurumu can still use her illusions."
"Doesn't help much." Yukari grumbled. Naruto only chuckled as he removed his shirt and started putting on the school uniform. Not for the first time the girls all stared at his toned upper body and the scars that marked it's surface.
"You never have told us where you got those scars." Moka remarked as Naruto tossed her the rosario as he finished buttoning up the blazer.
"In various fights." Naruto shrugged as he picked up his backpack.
"But how?" Mizore asked. Naruto only shrugged as he walked into the woods and towards the school, and for the girls this was the way Naruto let them know he didn't want to talk about it.
Now while the girls all loved to pry into Naruto's life whenever they could(for various reasons) they also knew better than to cross that unspoken line that Naruto had. To do that would be to betray his trust and they couldn't imagine their lives without the blond shinobi. School carried on like any normal friday and once the clubs were finished for the day Naruto went to sit up on the roof and stare at the horizon while his thoughts drifted back to the home he had left behind. Naruto was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't hear the soft footsteps approaching him until the person was right next to him and sitting down. Glancing over he saw Mizore sitting there and looking at him with concern. Naruto only gave her a small smile and lifted his left arm to signal to her that she could move closer. The Yuki-Onna didn't hesitate to move under the arm and lean her head against his sholder as they sat there ins silence simply enjoying the view. As the afternoon gave way to evening Mizore finally spoke.
"Naruto, are you okay?"
"I guess. Just feeling a little homesick."
"Why?"
"Its been almost a year since the 4th Shinobi World War ended, and I'm not there to see how things are progessing. Are the people really moving towards peace or are they slipping back into old habits. I'm not there to go pay my respects to the good people that died for me, the ones I had to leave behind in order to win. I miss those forests, the people, all the places that I got to see and wanted to visit again."
Another silence fell over them as Mizore processed Naruto's words and looked at his face to see that he was a little more melancholy than normal.
"Naruto-kun, you can go home again eventually." Mizore pointed out.
"I know. But three years is a long time." Naruto sighed as he pulled her closer, taking some small comfort in her presence "At least I have you and the others around Mizore-chan."
A small blush appeared on Mizore's face as she heard the words and relished the feeling of being held by him like this. A few more minutes passed before Naruto stood up, earning a small moan of displeasure from Mizore as he did, and walked towards the edge of the building.
"Well it's getting late and by now the doors are locked." Naruto sighed as he offered Mizore a hand up. Once she was standing he picked her up bridal style and walked down the edge of the roof and then back onto the ground where he put her down. Mizore was now doing everything she could to control her blush at the actions that Naruto had taken as he walked her back to the dorms where she stopped and decided to take a chance. As the pair faced each other Mizore removed her lollipop and kissed the blond shinobi. Naruto was surprised by this action but didn't protest the kiss as he snaked his arms around her and pulled her close. When they finally parted Naruto had a smile on his face and Mizore looked like she didn't want to stop kissing him.
"I should go." Naruto said.
"Ok..." Mizore nodded, a little disappointed he didn't want to stay but willing to take the small victory she had today.
"I'll see you tomorrow Mizore-chan." Naruto smiled as he gave her a quick kiss before leaving, missing Mizore's smile as she turned and went back to the dorms with a spring in her step.
It was late in the night when two shadowed figures met in the woods near the school, one taller and the other shorter.
"Are you ready?" the shorter one asked.
"Yeah, not sure why we don't use the Yuki-Onna instead." the taller man grumbled.
"Because she doesn't have as many weaknesses that can be exploited as the Yuki-Onna, and because Naruto won't be able to turn the trap to his advantage this way as well. Now are you sure you can defeat him?"
"Positive. He's strong in a one on one fight, maybe even against a few people at once, but mob him with dozens of opponents and he will be overwhelmed and crushed." the second man chuckled "We'll get the bait tomorrow morning and make sure that he doesn't have time to get anything ready to counter us."
"Good. The sooner you kill him the better." the shorter one stated as he walked away "I want this done right. No excuses."
"Got it." the man nodded as he walked the other way to finish up the last minute preparations.
The next morning Naruto was meditating on top of the school as he had a clone working on his articles at the club when he sensed a presence approaching him in a rush. Opening an eye as he stopped channeling the nature chakra he saw a student running towards him.
"You're Naruto Uzumaki right?!" he asked, clearly in a panic.
"I am, what's wrong?" Naruto asked as he stood up and the student handed him an envelope.
"I was told to get this to you as quickly as I could or they would kill me."
"Who?" Naruto asked.
"I can't say." he said as he turned and started running "I don't want anything to do with this!"
Naruto only frowned as he opened the envelope to see a letter and a picture inside. As he unfolded the letter his rage spiked in a pillar of red chakra that continued to rise as he saw the photo as well.
"We have the vampire Moka as the photo will prove. If you are not at the abandoned school building by noon we will kill her." Naruto read as he looked at the photo and saw Moka was chained up under a waterfall that was clearly causing her pain from the look on hers face. Naruto checked the time and realized that he had two minutes until the deadline and quickly made a Kage Bunshin and handed it the envelope with the note and picture.
"Get this to Mikogami so he knows what is going on, and alert him that if he doesn't get there quickly that they will need body bags instead of stretchers." Naruto hissed as he turned and made his way to the abandoned dorm. It took him a minute to get there and kick the doors down, walking in with a sinister red aura around him.
"Well you're just in time." a man laughed from the shadows near Moka "I was hoping you were going to be here on time, no sense in killing her without you here!" The figure revealed himself to be Saizo who now had a knife at Moka's throat "Enjoy the show!"
Before Saizo could make even the smallest of cuts Naruto's shadow leapt up off the ground and slammed into Saizo like a speeding semi-truck, sending him crashing through the wall behind him. Naruto quickly ran towards Moka only to see that Saizo hadn't been alone as dozens of students dropped down around him or stepped out of the shadows, effectively surrounding him.
"That was a bad move Uzumaki. Now you get to be beaten before we kill the vampire!" Saizo laughed as he walked out of the hole, transforming into his true form as he entered the light.
"No." Naruto said as the aura started to solidify into a one tailed cloak "You're all going to wish you were dead by the time I'm done." Before a single laugh could be made the tail wrapped around one student's neck and slammed him into three others before throwing him into a pillar with a sickening crunch as his spine snapped. Naruto moved like the wind as he struck at the various students with crippling blows and let his tail smash more of them into the ground as he slowly made his way through the entire gang until only Saizo was standing there looking shocked at this turn of events.
"No... No this can't be happening!" Saizo roared as he tried to crush Naruto. The blond only had his tail wrap around the extended arm and throw him over his sholder. Turning he saw the Orc getting back up and charge at him, clearly in a blind rage. Naruto simply stood there as he created a Rasengan in both hands and slammed the two spheres into the Orc's chest, sending him flying from the building and leaving a massive trail of destruction as he did so. Turning Naruto walked over to Moka, letting the chakra cloak drop as he cut her down with one of the kunai that he kept on him at all times.
"Naruto..." Moka gasped as he pulled her from the water and realized that she was severly weakened.
"Just relax, I'll get you to the infirmary." Naruto promised as he picked her up and saw Ruby and Mikogami arriving.
"Naruto-kun!" Ruby shouted as she saw him walking out of the building.
"Is anyone dead?" Mikogami asked
"No. I restrained myself that much. But there are plenty with broken bones and few might not be walking again." Naruto stated calmly as he headed towards the infirmary "Let this be a message as to what happens if you target my friends."
The headmaster quietly thanked whatever deity had left these students alive, knowing that if Naruto had killed them it would have become a bloodbath as the families of the slain came after Naruto who would fight to defend himself and the cycle would only continue.
It didn't take Naruto long to reach the infirmary and after laying Moka down on one of the beds stepped out of the room where he was able to sit and try to relax the rage inside of himself that demanded that he make everyone responsible for Moka's pain suffer a hundred fold. As he sat there he heard footsteps approach him and glanced over to see a student that he didn't recognize approaching him. He about Naruto's height with blonde hair and two crescent-shaped scars on his face with one going up into the hair-line while the other one under his left eye.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked with a glare.
"Name's Mido Kusabi, and we got a score to settle Uzumaki." Midou stated as Naruto locked eyes with him "You dealt some serious damage to my subordinates and that needs to be addressed."
"They kidnapped my friend. They paid the price." Naruto replied coldly.
"See, that's the kind of Pure-Bred crap that pisses me off!" he roared as he slugged Naruto, or tried to as his fist past right through the blond.
"Word of advice, make sure that your opponent isn't faster than you when you try a straight forward attack like that." Naruto stated from behind Midou as he kicked him down the hall and into a wall "Now if you want to continue this fight let's take it outside."
"Fine with me." Midou chuckled as he stood up "Glad you ain't pussying out on this."
"I don't run from a fight." Naruto stated as they went outside and faced each other.
"You gonna transform?" Midou asked "Or are you too good to do that against some half-breed."
"You've got the guts to come at me face to face, I'll do you one better." Naruto stated as he took off his blazer and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the seals "See where I'm from these seals are used to enhance gravity on the person. I'm currently at 35 times earth's gravity." with that he disengaged the seals and made eye contact with Midou "I can't control my transformations but I will still take you seriously."
"Heh, what a load of shit! What kind of pure-bred bastard can't control his true youkai form?!" he laughed.
"One that is made not born." Naruto stated as he entered a fighting stance "You going to take this serious as well, or do I have to beat you around the school a few times before you do?"
"Heh. No I'll go all out." Midou stated as he transformed, and Naruto quickly noted that he would have to watch out for the giant right arm that was emenating a demonic energy.
"Any ideas on that Jubi?" Naruto asked.
"There are a multitude of demons that he could likely trace his ancerstry back to. He's a mix of various youkai so he will have some unexpected abilities and weaknesses." Jubi replied calmly.
With that little tidbit of information Naruto exhaled slowly and focused on the matter at hand. The two combatants clashed, both feeling out the other as they searched for strengths and weaknesses in the others form and once the exchange was finished they both backed away, Midou frowning as Naruto nodded his understanding.
"Seems like you got more out of that than I did Uzumaki." he noted.
"I have you figured out." Naruto stated "One thing I have worked a lot on is analyzing my opponents and learning as much about them as I can in as little amount of time as possible."
"And what have you learned?"
"You favor the right side more than the left, and that your left side is only slightly better than your average human." Naruto remarked "It's the right side that has all the real fire and all the real danger."
"Not bad, but you're underestimating me as a whole!" Midou laughed as he attacked Naruto with an enhanced punch that Naruto only side stepped avoid and launch a quick jab into the side of Midou's head. As Midou stumbled back Naruto pressed the advantage and tore apart Midou's fighting style and noted that he had an endurance and pain tolerance that would equal Moka with ease. After one particularly viscious blow Midou skidded back as Naruto studdied him with interest.
"You are pretty fast there." Midou gasped.
"And you are pretty durable." Naruto noted as he cracked his neck "But I am finished with this game. I have a friend to go check on."
Before Midou could continue Naruto flicked his wrist and had Midou's own shadow grab the man as he pulled him into the Hyoton: Rasengan that struck with devestating brutal power of a winter wind moving at close to a thousand miles an hour. All Midou could do was scream as he was sent flying back, crashing into the building behind him and laying in the crater, clearly dazed and unable to move.
"Pathetic." Naruto sighed as he walked back inside and let the nurse on duty know about the kid and that he needed to be taken care of.
The next day Naruto was back in the Infirmary, checking on Moka who had regained consciousness but was still under observation for the rest of the day.
"I can't believe they attacked Moka like that." Yukari whispered from outside the room where the other girls were waiting while Naruto talked with Moka a bit in private.
"I know. But vampires do have a lot of weaknesses." Kurumu pointed out.
"So do all of us." Mizore stated "I'm weak against Fire, your weak against anything with an equal or greater amount of brains than you and superiour strength." Aiming that last one at Kurumu "And you are inexperienced in combat and can be taken down if they get the wand away from you. We all have weaknesses."
"Except Naruto-koi." Kurumu gushed.
"No. I have weaknesses as well." Naruto said from behind them, scaring them as he closed the door.
"Don't do that!" Kurumu shouted "You're going to give me wrinkles way to early like that."
"How is she?" Yukari asked.
"Recovering. She should be out by tomorrow the doctor hopes. I planned on sticking around to make sure that she'll be okay." Naruto sighed as he took a seat.
"What do you mean you have weaknesses too?" Mizore asked.
"I have my weakspots, and all it takes is the right trap and I won't be able to do anything." Naruo sighed "No one is invincible."
"If you say so." Yukari nodded.
"Look, until we figure out what is going on stay in contact and try and stay together as much as possible. This way we have a way to try and deter whoever is doing this." Naruto explained "Always two of you at least. This should deter another attempt like this to get to me."
"What if they get both of us?" Mizore asked.
"Than they are going to get double the ass kicking as those poor bastards on the third floor ICU ward." Naruto replied in a tone that said he would deliver on that threat.
The girls all nodded and hung around for a few hours before leaving to take care of things at the club with one of Naruto's clones. The blonde had refused to leave Moka's side while she was in this condition and he knew that there were plenty of youkai that would target a weakened vampire, especially whoever had planned that attack against him yesterday. After a few hours passed Naruto stood up to get some lunch from the vending machines a floor down and made sure to inform the doctor that no one was to go into Moka's room while he was away. After grabbing a few bags of chips and a bottle of water he started walking back up the stairs when he heard the sounds of footsteps moving through the halls and frowned at that. Opening the door he saw that there were dozens of students shuffling through the halls and that there was a woman in a nurses uniform walking down the hall with Moka right behind her shuffling like the rest of the students.
"What is going on here?" Naruto asked as he dropped his food and drink and entered the second floor for the woman to see.
"There you are." she chuckled "I was wondering where you had gotten to."
"I won't ask again. What is going on." Naruto hissed as he flared his chakra to make the point.
"It's quite simple. After you defeated Midou so easily I figured that I should handle you." she chuckled "I mean you can beat up anyone who isn't your friend, but I doubt you could seriously hurt one of your friends."
Naruto scowled at the girl as he saw Moka moving towards him and before he could react he realized that she was moving as fast as her inner self and swinging a knife at him that he barely dodged as he jumped onto the wall and then launched himself towards the puppet master. Before he reached her two students moved in the path to block him and he plowed right into them as the nurse moved behind more of her thralls.
"Now that's not going to happen. You just stay there and die quietly." she laughed.
"Who are you?" Naruto growled as he dodged another student trying to grab him and kicked him into a wall.
"Why do you care?"
"I want to know the name of the person I'm going to be beating senseless after I catch up to you." Naruo stated as he dodged another student.
"Hmph, arrogant like all other pure bloods. But since this is your dying request I suppose I'll give you my name so you can say who killed you when you get to hell. My name is Mako Yakumaru, and now you can just die!" Mako shouted as the students swarmed him. Since Naruto didn't know most of them he had no qualms about defending himself and proceeded to beat them senseless, even creating a Kage Bunshin to watch his back as they quickly sent the dozens of students flying back into walls, doors, and each other. It wasn't until the clone dispersed that Naruto realized that Moka had finally made her way through the crowd and that he now had a problem. Dodging and ducking the swings from the knife Naruto couldn't bring himself to hurt Moka for something that wasn't her fault, and quickly tried to use her shadow to incapacitate her and found that she was just too strong and ripped through it with ease.
"Crap." Naruto cursed as he leaned back to avoid a slash and used an arm to block the kick she tried to use against him.
"It's pointless. You can't bring yourself to stop her and she is too strong for any of your pathetic tricks to work." Mako laughed as she watched Naruto do everything that he could to avoid Moka's knife "She won't get tired and she will do exactly as I command!"
Naruto only muttered more curses under his breath as he kept just staying out of reach of his friend who was intent on hurting him. It wasn't until Naruto made eye contact that he saw that she was crying, and he realized that she was aware of everything that was happening to her.
"I'm sorry Naruto-kun." Moka whispered as she swung the knife again and Naruto wasn't able to fully avoid the slash and felt the sting as it broke the skin on the side of his face where she made the cut.
Those words, the tears, and the pained look in her eyes made Naruto's heart ache as he saw them and inside he wanted to sadness than turned into a righteous fury as he began to focus again. His eyes flashed in cold fury as he suddenly felt his blood both boiling and freezing in his veins, reaching up to touch the cut his eyes focused on the puncture wound that showed where Moka had been injected with whatever was used to control her. With the blood on his fingers he twisted forward and dodged the thrust Moka had made before he pointed his index finger with the blood at the wound and watched in fascination as it shot off of his fingers and into the puncture wound where as soon as it entered seemed to cause Moka to freeze in place as her muscles twitched for a second before she collapsed on the floor and Naruto turned his attention on Mako who looked horrified.
"How... How did you do that?!" she shouted as Naruto walked closer, his eyes still burning in a rage.
"You and your friends have no idea who I am do you?" Naruto asked as he walked closer, his shadow twisting behind him until it took the shape of the ten tailed beast, the tails flailing behind him and terrifying Mako beyond anything she had ever encountered "I am a walking nightmare, a demon that can create and destroy entire worlds. I am your worst nightmare."
With a scream Mako tried to run, but Naruto would have none of that as he drove a finger into the cut to get more blood and launched it at Mako in a high-speed bullet that shot through her left leg and dropped her to the ground where she tried to crawl away as Naruto walked over to her slowly, drawing his kunai and making a cut in his hand and letting the blood transform in his very hands. Grabbing her arms he had the blood turn into a blade as he contemplated killing her before he heard Moka moaning and glanced over to see her awakening.
"Moka." Naruto whispered as he regained his senses and looked at the gibbering wreck that was Mako and let his mercy take hold and simply knocked her out before looking at the wound on his hand that he knew was self-inflicted.
"Jubi..." Naruto began in worry.
"Yes?"
"Did I just get the ability to manipulate my blood?"
"That you did. But we are going to have to be careful with that one, use too much and it could kill you." Jubi remarked as he then sensed Naruto's turmoil "Is there a problem?"
"I'm in love with two of my closest friends!" Naruto shouted "Of course there is a problem!"
Ending the conversation there he leaned down to help Moka back into her room and once she was settled created a small army of Kage Bunshin to carry the other students back to their beds or where ever it was that they were supposed to be, and taking Mako into an empty room and handcuffed her to the bed with a clone outside the door to guard against anyone entering. With that taken care of Naruto went to Mikogami to discuss what exactly was happening. As he made his way into room before the office Ruby saw him and was about to say something until she saw the look in his eyes and realized that this was a bad time and let the blond go straight in to see Mikogami who was sitting behind his desk waiting for him.
"We need to talk." Naruto stated as he walked towards the exorcist.
"Of course." Mikogami nodded as motioned for Naruto to sit.
"I've just had three attempts on my life in as few as two days, and they were too coordinated to be anything less than an organization." Naruto stated as he sat down, barely staying calm.
"Yes. I hadn't planned on having you deal with this threat for some time, however they have come for you instead." Mikogami stated calmly "They are called Anti-Thesis, an organization of hybrid youkai that detest pure blood youkai and the way that this school is run. They have been a problem for some time and it was my intent to have you stomp them out next year, once you were more familiar with your abilities and could handle that fight without anyone else getting involved."
"Why are they after me?"
"Likely due to how quickly you have been bringing about change and supporting me. Within half the school year you took down the School Protection Committee. That is no small feat and they are likely acting to preserve their own interests."
"And their detest of other youkai?"
"They are hybrids, and most pure blooded youkai look down on them. They are treated badly and are often forced to be subservent to the pure blooded youkai. It is part of the reason that I don't want students revealing their true forms in the school, to give all students a chance to be equal." Mikogami sighed.
Naruto sighed as he let all this information process before speaking "They have brought the fight to me, not only targetting my friends but also turning them against me as puppts. They have more than earned my wrath." Mikogami looked at Naruto and saw the anger in his eyes "This Anti-Thesis has just pissed me off. What do I need to do to bring them down for good?"
Mikogami only nodded as he and the blond began planning the next step in preserving the safety of the school.
*OMAKE*
Tsukune sighed as he gathered his books and made his way out of school for the day. Things had been decent for the young man as he had been accepted into a high school not too far from home so he could easily commute as long as he avoided the group of delinquents that hung around the front of the school and had been terrorizing him for his money every day he had been stupid enough to go through the front doors.
"You really need to stick up for yourself Aono-san." Sakaki Shio, the gym teacher said as he saw the boy hesitating about which way to exit today "Running away never fixes anything."
"Bu... But they are too tough..." Tsukuni whimpered.
Sakaki sighed as he looked at the youth. He had taken a liking to the kid as he saw him having such problems with getting bullied by other students but also somehow making a few friends that would stick up for him when they were around.
"Look, I'll make you a deal. You go out the front and stand up to those punks and if you still lose your train fare than I will give you the money you need. The point is that you can't be afraid all the time. Do you always want to be some scared little boy?!"
"N... No!" Tsukune jumped as Sakaki had shouted.
"Then show me you can be a man and stand up for yourself!" he exclaimed as the boy nodded and turned and walked out the front door. Sakaki smiled as he watched the boy leave and then winced as he saw the boys start to beat up the poor kid.
"Damn it..." Sakaki cursed as he ran out the door to stop them.
