Once again the sun was shining and Naruto pulled the covers over his head, Setsuna noticed this and smiled "Come on Naruto it's not that bad" "Maybe for you but for me its" replied Naruto as he bravely stuck his head out from the covers to face the sun once more. However he was cut off in this action when he realised that Setsuna had her school shirt unbuttoned revealing he purple bra. He quickly hid under his quilt while saying sorry once every two seconds. Setsuna had an overdrive blush on her face while she quickly finished buttoning up her shirt "Now you can look" Setsuna said timidly "okay thanks" was heard from under the covers on Naruto's bunk as Naruto stuck his head out again to see Setsuna fully dressed. "I wonder if this is what Asuna has to deal with when she gets dressed?" Setsuna asked
On the train Setsuna was having a daydream while unconsciously sliding her hand into Naruto's. "Well I see someone's in love" said the sunny voice of Konoka as she and Asuna appeared "What?" Setsuna said disorientated and looked at where she had placed her hand "It's not what you think" panicked Setsuna "Yeah what she said" Naruto said blushing at the recent 'view' he had. "Why is he blushing?" Asuna growled "I just had a dream about my squad mate and best friend" Naruto said in defence "What's they're name?" Konoka said "Sakura" Naruto said smiling "perv" Asuna muttered "You want to see a pervert, go to my world and find my teacher and my godfather; the biggest pervert in my village!" Naruto exclaimed 'Oh and what would that make you, the third biggest perv?" Kyubi mentally laughed to his container. "So did you guys do the assignment for English?" Naruto asked "I did, Asuna didn't" Konoka said "Well the brat wasn't around last night so I couldn't ask for help" Asuna griped; this captured Naruto attention "What?" Naruto asked "well lately Negi's hasn't been at the dorms that much and when he is it's always late" Konoka explained. "Interesting" Naruto said becoming serious of a second "What is?" Asuna asked "could the professor have a girlfriend?" Naruto asked "WHAT?!" the three girls asked "The brat dating, no way I would know and so would Paru and Kazumi" Asuna said "okay forget it" Naruto said "Besides we have to run now" a mischievous smiled appeared on the young ninja's face as the train came to a stop and the doors opened "Last one to class is a rotten rice ball" Naruto said legging it. 'Brat we should see this Kazumi, for recon purposes of course' Kyubi said 'Yeah I was thinking the same thing, I still want to check out this Takane character, not to mention we should have her check whether or not the professor has a girlfriend, considering what Eva and that old man were saying' Naruto said
In the class Asuna was still thinking about what Naruto said to her on the train about Negi having a girlfriend "Now can anyone tell me the context of this scene in the garden, Setsuna?" Negi asked "It is about two people expressing their love for each other in hiding from those who do not want to see them in love" Setsuna said. At that Naruto felt a blush slowly appearing on his face "Who are you thinking of?" Haruna asked "No one, Hey Paru have you heard anything about Negi there dating?" Naruto quietly asked "just a rumour that it's a student but besides that I got nothing, try Kazumi after class" Haruna whispered back. "Sure." Naruto said turning back to his book.
After class Naruto approached Kazumi Asakura the class' red haired journalist "So Naruto ready for an interview?" Kazumi asked with a microphone in hand "I've heard you're the best for recon" Naruto said "Sure what do you need, the menu for the cafeteria tomorrow or maybe information on a certain little honey pie that has caught your eye?" Kazumi asked "what do you mean?" Naruto asked "I'm asking if you want to see the lunch menu for tomorrow so you can see what to eat or information on Setsuna" Kazumi said smirking "how did?" Naruto asked blushing making him resembling a ripe tomato. "Duh I put two and two together" Kazumi stated "No I need anything on a rumour I'm chasing about Negi having a girlfriend and also a student by the name of Takane" Naruto said "well, the rumour most people hear is that Negi is dating a mysterious student, however my sources say his dating Nodoka from this class." Kazumi said indicating Nodoka's "Okay, now what about this Takane character?" Naruto asked "As for Takane D. Goodman is a high school student who has it in for Negi since the last Mahora festival and will use anything against him, and this just might be his last chance, she uses shadow warriors and creates shadow armour, her partner is Mei Sakura a young girl a year below us who uses fire magic, and be careful Takane is a strong fighter." Kazumi said "thanks now here's what you're going to do, first you are going to throw Takane a bone by saying Negi's dating in the meanwhile I'm getting a bone because you are going to send a note to Takane with the next 'Date'" Naruto said smiling "You are evil." Kazumi chuckled "and what do I get in return?" Kazumi said "How about a front row seat to a good fight" Naruto smiled cracking his knuckles, "That sounds like a good deal" Kazumi said shaking hands with Naruto "Its a deal then" Naruto smiled 'This is going to be good' Kyubi said.
"Wait, wait, wait you're going to pick a fight with a girl?" Kaede asked once she heard the blonde's paln "Yeah why shouldn't I?" Naruto asked "Because you haven't face a mage before!" Kaede exclaimed "Not to mention we have no idea if it will work, she could use her partner to hunt Negi down" Setsuna said "Did you ever forget about that!?" Kaede shouted "No because I didn't know!" Naruto shouted "So what are you going to do?" Setsuna asked "I'll guard Negi and Nodoka" KAede said "Good, I'll keep Mei busy" Setsuna said "And I'll take Takane" Naruto said smirking
Kazumi released the information for Naruto's trap and sent Takane an e-mail saying that an anonymous person saw Negi waiting for his girlfriend at the world tree around five, Takane was furious "How dare that mage take such liberties as dating a student, well I shall put a stop to that!" Takane said getting ready "Now I should put a spare pair of clothes in should I have another malfunction" Takane said remembering the embarrassing situations in the past. "I need to find a stronger material" Takane said "Mei I'm going out for a while want anything?" she asked "No I'm fine thanks" Mei called back. "Alright I'll see you when I get back, and don't eat too many chocolates, while I'm gone, you'll get an upset stomach" Takane said before leaving
Nodoka was hiding in the romance section of the library "Nodoka what's wrong?" Negi asked his voice overflowing with concern "Negi the rumours of us are spreading and that means" Nodoka said "I know hopefully Takahata can hold them at bay for a while" Negi said holding her hand in reassurance "I thought I might find you two here" a voice said, the voice belonged Kazumi "Kazumi" Nodoka was freaking out "relax I've known from the beginning" Kazumi said "Thanks for keeping this secret" Nodoka said "no prob besides those rumours were just a bit of bait to get Good Grief Goodman on a wild goose chase" Kazumi said. "What do you mean?" Nodoka asked "it appears Naruto has heard Takane is a good fighter and wants to duel her" Kazumi answered. "What...Why?" Negi shrieked "he didn't give me a reason" Kazumi shrugged "who cares we can enjoy each other's company now Negi" Nodoka said kissing his cheek. "They're so cute" Kazumi sighed walking off with Kaede observing the couple in secret "At least he's happy now" the kunoichi said slipping into shadows to leave.
Under the world tree Takane stood there in her shadow armour waiting to bust Negi "Where are you, you lawbreaking child!" Takane scolded "on the other side of the academy" Naruto said appearing out of what seemed to be a gust of wind "Who are you and where is Professor Springfield and his student girlfriend?" Takane shouted "I do not know maybe in a classroom having an afterschool lesson" Naruto snickered "Enough you will talk if I win this Duel you will reveal the name of the student dating Negi Springfield and their location" Takane said "And when I win you'll stop going after him, help him and apologize to him" Naruto growled. "Very well I accept those conditions" Takane said summoning a shadow sword, Naruto withdrew his kunai and held the with the blade towards the ground 'now boy watch out for that sword of hers, and remember we may not have access to the kazenagi sword in this world and we still don't know if you can gain access to Senjutsu' Kyubi advised "Well then?" Naruto asked 'working on it' Kyubi snarled as the blade connected with the kunai "Anytime now!" Naruto said as a shadow behind him rose up and became a point 'Behind you!' Kyuubi said shrouding him in chakra to block the shadow point "What is that?" Takane asked 'Thanks, now let's get to it' Naruto thought before Takane came at him with a shadow sword.
Naruto started to dodge Takane sword. "Man if only I had a...sword" Naruto said. On the world tree itself was a seal hidden by a genjutsu that would only allow ninjas to see it. Naruto wiped his hand across the seal producing a gust of wind and light, blusting around Naruto before becoming a midair tornado, finally after a burst of bright light a sword of fine quality appeared 'boy I believe someone put that seal there for you to gain access to this sword: the wind sabre, this sword is infused with powerful wind chakra to make it even sharper I thought this sword was a myth' Kyubi said as Naruto held the sword in his hand. "Alright now time to fight!" Naruto declared "A sword fight...I'm game" Takane said leaping into battle. A massive crashing of metal was heard as the two sword fighters went at it with gusto
Kazumi and Sayo her ghost friend were walking towards the world tree "I wonder what techniques Naruto will use?" Kazumi asked "I don't know but it looks like he is marvellous with a blade" Sayo said noticing Takane's shadow armour had slash marks in it "Whoa, where's my camera?" Kazumi asked "That sword" Sayo said making Kazumi looked confused at her "huh?" Kazumi asked "That sword is the wind sabre that belonged to Minato Namikaze, I thought it was lost ages ago" Sayo said "wait a minute that name Minato Namikaze sounds familiar" Setsuna said arriving on the scene "how?" Kazumi said "I don't know" Setsuna said. "All I know is that this look intense!" Kazumi said as Setsuna stared on in awe.
Takane was being forced back with her sword constantly blocking Naruto's wind sabre "Could it be you wield the sword of the hurricane master?" Takane asked "I see you know about this sword" Naruto said holding it against her sword "I've heard rumours" Takane said in a struggling tone of voice "which are" Naruto said shoving her back. "A warrior by the name of Minato Namikaze had a sword like that, he was called the hurricane master" Takane said "my father" Naruto said looking at the sword "you're his son?" Takane said "Yes" Naruto said "Well then I admit defeat then Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" Takane said bowing in respect "thank you" Naruto said.
"So let me get this straight Takane actually surrendered to Naruto and now has become an ally to the squirt?" Asuna asked "yeah" Setsuna said "not to mention the fact that Naruto's dad is with Nagi" Asuna continued "yes" Naruto agreed "man ever since you came here nothing but trouble has been brewed" Asuna said. Setsuna looked over at Naruto and blushed deeply 'I think I'm in love with him' she thought
