Okay I've received some complaints or suggestions, I'm not sure which they are as they seem to be written more like a threat then a comment, about Naruto's special moves as it were. Right now Naruto only has the Devil predator tackle under his belt as a move, like all Sena has under his belt is the pace of light speed run. But during the summer training arc aka the death march arc Naruto will gain a fancy new set of moves based off of his abilities show cased as minor things before in earlier games, meaning at most four new moves.

So here is a spoiler for you impatient people as well as some info on Naruto's current moves

The Flash Step- first used in chapter 3 to shave .3 seconds off Naruto's time

The Flash Step is a burst of acceleration that allows Naruto surpass his usual speed by a notable margin by shifting his running style from long stride to powerful leg running style that allows him to cover more ground with each stride, currently Naruto cannot use this technique to its full potential because while his endurance and strength are up to par it puts an incredible strain on his heart which is accustomed to the stress anymore. Naruto gains full control of this ability when he learns how to use calm adrenaline allowing him to control his heart rate while still boosting his strength.

Devil Predator Tackle- the main technique of Naruto's that allows him to tackle anyone at any time by being able to leap over any obstacle

And by the way Naruto's Kick success rate is only 45 percent, much worse than Musashi, but far better than Hiruma's.

No on to the show

Chapter 9: A battle well fought

"Huh?"

"Huuuh?"

"HUUUUUUHHHHH?" came the battle cry of the Huh-huh brothers as they beat the brute tactics that Zokugaku tried to use were defeat just as brutishly.

Naruto spared them a quick glance as he maneuvered to try and stop anyone from blitzing, which luckily there were none, as most were bust with Sena and Monta, but none the less he did the job he was told to do. Meanwhile however, Sena was dealing with Rui charging at him like a mad bull intent on splattering him. "It's no use Eyeshield I am Rui Habashira the strongest player here" Naruto could hear Rui scream from across the field.

Naruto scoffed as he watched the scene, Eyeshield wasn't afraid of Habashira anymore, he was simply afraid of being tackled, afraid of the idea of a linebacker. Sena skid to a halt as Habashira charged and to Naruto what was happening was pretty clear. That aura of power, that seemed to surround Shin like a dome in the Oujou game, was more like a flame whipping about ,To Naruto he could tell that Habashira was nothing when compared Shin ,In sena's eyes, and with that being Sena's Ultimate goal it was obvious what happened.

The second Rui reached out to grab Sena, the small boy rocketed away running back a few feet skidding again and then completely running around Rui. Naruto smiled and looked up to the stands where Shin and Koharu were watching from, and while his face didn't show it Shin was smiling too. Rui however just stood there shell shocked by the sudden loss of power he had over Eyeshield. Eyeshield had just scored a touchdown, by running past him.

The crowd roared to life as they cheered for the score, and the Football members did too as they walked back to prepare for the kick off. Hiruma however caught the shell shocked look in Rui's eyes and grinned, knowing that they had won before it was even called.


As the game went on the baseball team eventually walked to the field to start their Saturday practice. As they approached the field they saw the crowds still gathered around the field and the sound of whistles, giving way to the event that a game was being played there. "Are they still playing American football?" Asked one of the players impatienty as another grumbled about it being the baseball team's turn to use the field.

However, all arguments were cast aside when they saw Raimon, a former member of the team playing, and doing well. They walked in calmly to observe the game and were shocked when they saw the score was 40-14 in Deimon's favor. "Yes, go Raimon" Cheered a familiar voice.

It was the coach of the baseball team "What's with that surprised look on your face?" He asked.

"Well it's just I didn't know you liked to watch Raimon play" the baseball team captain said shyly before the coach glared at him.

"Are you kidding? I am a Baseball coach, meaning I only like people who can play baseball well" The coach argued before leaning back and turning his attention back to the game "But right now I am an American football spectator, so I only like people who can play American football" as the coach finished he stood up, just as Raimon received an amazing pass.

"GO GET EM RAIMON" Came the unanimous shout from the baseball team.


So far the game had been going good with the three replacements on the line, but now they were tired and had become the weak spot in the line. So far things hadn't been going good for them as the opposing line men were breaking through the line easier and easier. "Listen you three if you're going to let them through do it on purpose" Hiruma shouted confusing the three.

The linemen lined up, whispering about the weak link in deimon's line and attacked. Rui called the pass and the two linemen of Zokugaku broke through rather easily, only for the ball to leap from Hiruma's hands. "It's a screen pass" Someone shouted as Rui rushed in to defend the field against Eyeshield.

"try and get passed me now you fucking shrimp" Rui growled his eye's growing mad with rage.

A bit down the field Naruto saw this madness and knew that Sena would not make it pass, no matter how confident the little guy was. Rui needed to be stopped or at least preoccupied if Sena was to make it, so Naruto sprung into action. Quite literally so Naruto leaped across the field like a dive in baseball, one arm sticking out, covering a distance of seven feet before latching on to Rui's shoulder and grounding himself. Naruto then took down Rui with one arm, eliciting a gasp of shock from Koharu and a look of surprise from Shin, a near perfect replication of Shin's spear tackle. Thanks to this move Sena was able to score the final touchdown bringing the score to 46-14 with deimon opting out of the kick.

The team broke into celebration lifting the various members of the team into the air, sans Hiruma, Kurita and Naruto for different reasons each. Naruto walked into the crowd as Hiruma approached the chameleons to ask for the prize money promised to them by Zokugaku, knowing full well they couldn't pay.

Mean while Naruto was talking to Koharu and shin, his helmet removed and his hair wet, dripping and matted down with sweat. He was grinning big as Koharu ran up and gave him a hug before backing away awkwardly. "That was amazing Naruto "Koharu shouted as she practically jumped up and down.

"Yes that was pretty impressive, you've improved greatly these past two weeks" Shin commented " it's as if you've dedicated every moment to training your body".

"Thanks Shin…if you don't mind I kind of want to talk to Koharu alone…" Naruto asked sheepishly as he jerked his head back a few times trying to give Shin the clue to leave.

Shin just stood there confused, until a black box was shoved into his hands, it was the camera case. "Shin could you please get this back to the team INTACT, I need to speak to Naruto privately" Koharu said slyly as she looked back over her shoulder at Naruto, still with his sheepish grin.

Shin nodded and left, running as fast as a rabbit being chased down by a wolf. Koharu then spun around and looked Naruto in the eye. "Okay what's so important that you needed to talk to me alone…" Koharu didn't get to finish as Naruto kissed her, but she pushed him off "Naruto what the hell".

"Sorry I just got so excited over the first win and just had to celebrate, anyway I was wondering if you wanted to go grab some lunch with me…you know like a date" Naruto stated, as if she would never say no.

"A victory date?" Koharu looked at him skeptically.

"A sexy victory date" Naruto corrected.

"Why does it have to be Sexy?" Koharu asked putting her hands on her hips and giving Naruto a playful glare.

"Because you're coming" Naruto added off handedly as he looked away, feigning embarrassment.

Koharu just glared at Naruto again, while he continued making his sheepish face, only to stop and give a playful glare right back. Koharu looked strained to contain her amusement before breaking out laughing "Fine I'll go on a date with you…" She said before being swept off her feet and carried away, still laughing. "God Naruto you stink take a shower first" A few second later a smack was heard with a voice laughing and shouting "No I will Not join you".


Right about now Hiruma was extorting the Zokugaku chameleons for about everything there worth. "5 million yen please" Hiruma asked in his devilish voice only to get a nife in his face, which he meet with several various fire arms.

"We don't have it" Rui hashiraba said as he glared back, hoping to back out of the deal.

"Fine then we'll just take your bikes, but they are heavily modified, so I guess we'll just sale them for parts" Hiruma mused as he twirled a wrench in his hands sending Zokugaku into a panic.

"Don't take our bikes we'll do anything!" Shouted the entire team as they dropped to the ground and begged.

"Fine then you'll become our slaves" Hiruma shouted as he held out a binding contract which was begrudgingly signed.


It was post game and most of the players of Deimon were in the school showers whooping and celebrating their win with a bit of good old fashioned horse play and towel whipping. Those that didn't participate simply smiled as they took their showers, all expect for Kenta Yamaoka, a red head who had his hair swept up into short spikes who was sitting at the locker bench half dressed looking at one of his many CDs of a preteen pop idol with a depressed and contemplative look on his face. As he sat there in thought his long time friend Yohei Satake, who was about as tall as him but with a bulb nose a loosely hanging black hair, walked up next to him and opened the locker he was using. "Yo Yamaoka, staring at your dream girl again" He taunted as he pulled out his clothes and began to get dressed.

"No just thinking…." Yamaoka said as he looked at the CD, something about it seemingly telling him something.

"What about?" Satake asked curiously as he pulled his shirt on and began to pull on his socks.

At that moment both Tetsuo Ishimaru, the captain of the Track team that played as a second running back, and Futoshi Omosadake, a member of the Sumo club acting as a bench warmer and defensive lineman, walked into the conversation. They listened in a bit, Curious enough to only stick around for the conversation while they dressed and not stick around. Yamaoka paid them no mind. "What are we doing Satake, I spend most of my money on these stupid CDS and you keep getting caught doing panty raids, everything we do is to get girls or simply near them, we even joined the Basket ball team just to get girls, When are we ever gonna do anything because we enjoy it" Yamaoka asked as he tossed his Cd into the trash as he grabbed his shirt.

"What are you talking about Yama…We love basketball, its all we played since 1st grade" Satake said, feeling his friends talk to be odd for him.

"I used to, until it became about getting girls, I mean sure it's nice to sit down and watch the girls pass by and stuff, but today I was in one play of the game and I didn't even touch the ball, but I felt this shiver of exicitement, for once I remember what it feels to be happy because I enjoyed doing something, I think I may just quite the basketball team" Yamaoka said as he pulled the shirt over his head.

By this time bothe Ishimaru and Omosadake had stopped what they were doing and listened intently, feeling some sort of connection to this feeling Yamaoka was talking about."What?" Satake asked in shock "Why?".

"So I can join the Football team officially" Yamaoka said with a determined glare as he walked out only to be grabbed by Satake.

"Then I will too, I would never let my friend just walk off like that, besides we've stuck together thick through thin and we pledged that we would become some of the best basketball players around, but since we just quite… I think football would be a nice substitute " Sataked said as he walked off with his friend smiling.

The entire conversation left Ishimaru and Omosadake and Ishimaru with one question on their minds. What were they doing.


As the numerous number of spectators cleared only two truly stared at the field in a sense of inspired awe. One was a fairly lanky boy by the name Manabu Yukimistu, who just felt awe at the sheer determination displayed by Eyeshield 21, who was such a small guy in comparison to everyone else. The other was the short and muscular Daikichi Komusubi, who was awe struck by the strength of the second year Kurita.

It was for certain though, that the Devil Bats wouldn't be only six members for long.

And done, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and some of the conversation between Naruto and Koharu I threw in for you people. Now I have to restate that this isn't a harem fic, but it is a love triangle kind of thing that is kind of complicated. Naruto in the end will be with both Karin and Koharu in a strange three way relationship, which is technically not a harem since they will all be dating each other so it's more like a web. And no Mamori, she's cute, hot and sexy and all that other stuff but her character is so uptight there is no way for me to do anything with her and still remain in character. The only thing going on is a friendship between her and Naruto that is strained by many absurd rumours and strange events of sexual natures.

I hope that clears things up so till next time don't eat soap no matter how tasty it looks.
