After this there will be a canon filler from the manga then my own brand of fillers just like after the Kyoto arc, hopefully you guys will enjoy it.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN EITHER NARUTO OR NEGIMA! THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.

Naruto sat there staring at the sky, as his brother drifted upward towards the final battle. His wounds were healed thanks to the pactio, but it did not away the pain from his body. He put on a calm facade as he watched, though the pain kept prickling into his mind. "Damn, it hurts like hell," he muttered to himself. When he felt the giant robot under him starting to move, Naruto frowned. Raising all four tails at the same time, they connected to each other and spun rapidly forming a drill covered with youki. "Didn't I tell you to stay down?" Naruto growled as he drove the attack through the core of the beast immobilizing it once again.

He then turned his gaze back up to the sky as his brother disappeared. He then felt a chill run down his spine as that happened. "What the hell?" Naruto shook it off but was frowning. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Naruto-sensei!" Misa shouted from the stairs next to the robot. The rest of 3-A and the other students were looking at him as he sat there. "What are you doing? Isn't that thing defeated yet?"

"No! If I leave it may just stand up again. So I'll be sitting here until the fight is over."

"Can we go there?"

"No. Again it's still working so please just stay there." Naruto then looked up again and a smirk crossed his face. "Well, it seems like the cavalry has arrived eh, Negi?"

-NMAC-

It all happened in an instant. Negi was first struggling against Chachamaru's "sisters" and several flying robots, then the next thing he knew they were being blocked by Kotarou, Setsuna, Asuna and all the other mages that weren't hit by Mana. And now he stood in front of Chao. "You've finally made it here Negi-bouzu. We're finally on the same stage," Chao spoke. "Now then what will you do, Negi-sensei?"

"This time..." Negi hesitated for a moment before raising his voice, "This time I will stop you, Chao-san!"

"Then I too will shall fight for my beliefs," Chao took of her cloak, getting ready for battle, "and I will use all that I have."

"Well then here I come!" Negi shouted grabbing onto the time machine in his pocket. Before he can even react, Chao was behind him, displacement bullets being charged electrically charged by her suit. Using shundo, Negi did the same thing to Chao catching her by surprise. Using his own magically enhanced elbow, he hit her side causing her to fly to the side. Chao, frowned before disappearing inside a large circle and reappearing behind Negi. She then hit him with one of the bullets. The girl smirked when the black orb appeared around her teacher.

That however fell the moment the orb collapsed within itself, and Negi reappeared behind her. He tried to use an electrically enhanced palm thrust to the girl, but she dodged to the side. As this was happening Satomi was watching in awe. When one would get hit they would instantly reappear behind the other or completely dodge the move effortlessly. The nerdy girl gulped as the two were leaving afterimages as they fought, and caused shockwaves of power when they met each other's attacks. 'This...this is a battle between two who can manipulate time. I can't even tell what's going on anymore,' she thought.

Chao let out a chuckle as she stared at her teacher. "You've come far in using that time machine Negi-bouzu. I did not expect that to happen. For you to be skilled in using that machine in such a small period of time...It's expected from one of my honorable ancestors ne."

"Well, the moment I thought of using it in battle, it came to me rather quickly," Negi replied. "Even if I get hit by an unavoidable attack, as long as I can move from one time to another during that one instant, I will be able to dodge that attack, no matter what kind of attack it is. Further more, if I do time jump into the same time fast enough, I can create a pseudo-time-stop effect."

"But that should be easier said than done!" Satomi shouted. "To effectively make use of the time machine in direct combat, precision control down to nanoseconds, as well as accurate event prediction of the space jump is a must!" The scientist then went on to mumble things that were incomprehensible to others at the moment.

"She is right, even the time machine on the back of my suit is being controlled by the highest performance AI as well," Chao revealed.

"The trick behind is this!" Negi stated showing the time machine. Where the controls of the watch were placed, two tiny magical creatures were seen.

"Are those spirits?" Satomi asked.

"The most basic magics any mage should learn is the ability to move small objects and to properly predict something. These two are the spirits that look over those magics."

A little girl-like spirit shouted "I will predict!" and a ball-like spirit with long arms, two wings and a tail said, "I'm a spinning!"

"With this you have lost your battle advantage! Please surrender peacefully and stop your plans!"

-NMAC-

Naruto was idly watching the sky, occasionally hitting the giant robot with his tails as to keep it down. He wasn't really sure what was happening up there, but the lights from the explosions and casted spells were really interesting on his part.

"Man I wish I hadn't volunteered to stop this thing," Naruto sighed. "The fight up there looks pretty fun..." The blond then felt a chill go down his spine a second time. "What the hell?"

-NMAC-

"Hahaha!" Chao laughed. "Hakase, begin the final incantation."

"But," Satomi protested.

"It's alright-ne."

"Chao-san!" Negi exclaimed. "Were you not listening to me? You have lost you're advantage with your own time machine, you cannot win against me! Stop this ceremonial magic right no..."

"You've become awfully chatty." A smirk crossed Chao's face. "That's not like you." The red headed teacher's eyes grew wide. "That anxiety you are feeling...are you hiding something? Or is that you have a reason you must finish this battle quickly?" Negi began to sweat from the nervousness he felt. He then felt a hand on his face, and saw that Chao was right behind him looking at the time machine in his hands. Chao noticed that there were cracks all over Negi's time machine. "I knew it."

'Darn it!' Negi cursed in his mind before using shundo and landed on the blimp away from Chao.

"You still have a long ways to go Negi-bouzu. At most that time machine will give you three more uses, at worse it will become useless after one."

"All I need is one hit to defeat you," Negi retorted.

"Negi-bouzu wait. Before that one hit I'll ask you one more time. Now that things have progressed this far, you should have already figured out the meaning of my plan-yo. So Negi-bouzu will you become my comrade? Let us accomplish that slight bit of justice within this world of evildoers."

-NMAC-

Not many had noticed saved for a few students, but Naruto had gone missing from a top the giant robot. He made sure to completely cut it apart limb from robotic limb before going to make sure he can stall long enough. The blond teacher was roof hopping looking for a person to talk to about the whole situation. That was when he found the girl he was looking for. "Yue!" he shouted.

"Naruto-sensei?" the blue haired girl asked as he landed in front of her. "What's with the tail and ears? I never knew you were into cosplay. Wait until Chisame hears about this." A tiny smirk appeared on the girl's face, but Naruto frowned.

"You can stop putting a front Yue. I know you're worried about otouto." The blond glanced back up to the large blimp in the sky before looking back towards the blue haired girl. Apparently, she too looked towards the sky at that moment. "What was he like before going to me her? Chao I mean?"

Yue looked toward her other teacher, and the blond noticed her eyes were still a little puffy from crying. "He was confused," Yue replied.

He nodded and then Naruto took a seat on the tiles of the roof as he decided that he should just wait for the end compared to everyone else. His body was in pain, but his mind wasn't registering that part just yet. Something about that pactio he was using was telling him the pain was there, but wasn't letting him actually feel it. "What do you mean by confused Yue?" The blue haired girl took a seat next to him and they watched the sky, not knowing of the battles going on.

"He was so confused on what to do. Negi-sensei wasn't sure if defeating Chao was the right thing to do at one point. He said that the fact the only mages that will be punished are the ones at school and that if that what it takes, he could help out a lot of people who are getting hurt by common atrocities around the world. When I told him that Chao's plan were just her selfish desire to change her problems from whenever she came he wholeheartedly agreed with me, but he couldn't fault her. He was willing to throw away his life for someone he didn't know very well."

"I see..." Naruto nodded. "The little brat is a more like me than I thought." He then let out a sigh as another explosion was seen in the air. "So, how did you call out to him?"

"Excuse me?"

"How did you open his eyes? Make him see reason? Cuz being a stubborn knucklehead myself, it takes a lot to change our mind. The determination I saw in his eyes when I saw him, there was no doubt in him to show that his will was wavering. How did you make your voice reach him?"

"I slapped him hard across the face." Naruto chuckled and shook his head.

"I should have guessed."

-NMAC-

Chao's decide to take Negi's being lost in thought as a gift. She manipulated time so she reappeared behind him with the bullet in her hands poised to strike. She did get him, as the orb appeared over Negi. She smirked as she heard the cracking of glass, knowing that his time machine broke. What she wasn't expecting was a powerful force hitting her from behind. She felt electricity leave her suit as Negi slammed his elbow into the time machine on her back. Her eyes widened when she figured it out. It wasn't Negi's time machine that cracked, it was hers. "Tch," she grunted. She tried getting behind him again, but Negi anticipated it.

"It's useless!" Negi shouted. Three orbs of lightning magic materialized around his right hand. Using the same move he defeated Takamichi with during the finals he drove his fist into the apparatus on the back of Chao's back. "Raika-houken!" This shot Chao across the blimp and all the way to the tail of the ship.

-NMAC-

"Good job helping him find his resolve," Naruto congratulated the girl as he stood up from the roof. He ruffled her hair, but she swatted it away from her with a pout. "Like you said to him, from what you told me, one should not carry the burdens of the world alone its good to have friends with you during those times." 'Just like all the times back then in Konoha and the Elemental Countries. The reason why we were put int squads, to help each other when the your comrades needed it. Bearing all the problems of the world resting on one kid's shoulders...' Naruto thought.

"Hmm looks like he did it," Chamo said as he perched himself on Yue's shoulder. A holographic screen appeared in the plaza and revealed the battle up above. Naruto smirked and Yue had a smile on her face.

"Otouto is getting pretty good," Naruto smirked as his tails wagged in the air. Naruto then felt a chill go down his spine as he watched Chao begin to open fire at Negi with a gun.

"Are you okay Naruto-sensei?" Yue asked worriedly as she saw the blond stiffen.

"I have a bad feeling about this. This entire night, during the start of Negi's fight, I've had a bad feeling in my gut," Naruto confessed.

"You don't think Aniki is going to lose right hige-sama?" Chamo raised an eyebrow at the teacher.

"I don't know..."

-NMAC-

"Chao-san please stop! The match is already over!" Negi shouted as he stood upon his floating staff. Somehow Chao was able to keep afloat in the air too as she stared him down.

"No. Not yet, Negi-bouzu," Chao stated. "It is not over yet!" Four robotic equipment floated behind her and shot towards Negi, firing beams of energy at the boy. He easily dispatched of them with powerful punches and kicks, breaking them into tiny little pieces. Looking for his opponent after that, Negi found Chao with over a hundred bullets aimed at him. After an instant, the boy was pelted with it. The sky was covered by black orbs. Chao was panting looking around to see if her teacher was still there.

"I will not get hit so easily Chao-san," Negi exclaimed as he appeared from behind the smoke left behind by the attacks. "Now that you have lost the time machine that guaranteed you an absolute advantage, someone like you who cannot use magic, cannot beat me!"

"Magic-ne? I wonder about that?" Negi narrowed his eyes as Chao mumbled to herself. "Code...Spell pattern circle release, open the seal, Last tale." Beneath Chao a large glowing circle appeared. "My magic scir magister. Heed the contract and serve me, tyrant of flame. Come, flame of purification, fiery broadsword."

-NMAC-

"Oh you have to be kidding me," Naruto deadpanned as saw what was happening in the sky. "First she's a scientific genius, she also a talented martial artist, a great cook, an alien from Mars, and now she's a mage. What the hell isn't she? What's next? Is she going to say she's somehow related to me too?" Yue and Chamo sweat dropped despite how drastic the situation was. Naruto and his odd rants were always weird to see.

-NMAC-

"Fire and brimstone surged forth, Sodom burned. Turning the sinners into the dust of death!" Chao chanted. Within her left right hand a violent flame was gathering into swirling ball. Negi prepared himself as he place several barriers around himself. "Blazing heat in the sky!" Chao released her spell and hit Negi with it at full force, creating an explosion bigger than the blimp itself. A few seconds later Negi's body was seen falling from the before righting himself. "Wonderful, you managed to withstand that hit just now, eh Negi-bouzu?"

Negi was panting as he tried to recover from that attack. 'That attack right now, if I hadn't opened my barriers at full power I would have been utterly defeated. Not only that, the spell was higher than my level. Even if Chao-san is a genius, to be such a powerful magic user. But something doesn't feel right,' Negi thought. He then noticed that there were odd patterns on her body, but for some reason he couldn't see them really. 'Why are there spell patterns on Chao-san's body? I've never seen magic like that before...wait no is it science? There's not doubt about it. Chao-san is forcing powerful magic to herself with that spell pattern. If she goes on, she'll hurt her own body.'

"Last tale my magic scir magister, a spiritual evocation for 29 lance wielding salamanders," Chao said. Around her 29 black wisps with the shape of winged serpents with arms and blades appeared.

"Ras tel ma scir magister, a spiritual evocation for 17 deadly valkyries!" Negi shouted and summoned his own spirits to fight. As the groups of spirits had a dog fight, Negi and Chao clashed in the middle of it all. Negi caught her magically enhanced fist during their little clash. "What are you doing? Even chanting should be creating pain for you body!"

"Hehe seems like you noticed but..." Chao then punched the boy in the gut with her free arm. "What are you doing by slowing down now? Are you trying to get killed? Now that we disagree with each other, I have nothing left to say to you!" Chao moved back and readied another spell. "I came back to this ear, spent two years of my life and all my effort into this moment. THIS PLAN IS EVERYTHING FOR ME NOW, NEGI-BOUZU! I WON'T SIMPLY BE STOPPED BY MERE WORDS! SAGITA MAGICA 37 ARROWS OF FLAMES!" Chao unleashed flaming arrows at Negi.

"Sagita Magica 37 arrows of light!" Negi responded by sending his own barrage of attacks. Another explosion appeared in the sky as their attacks met.

-NMAC-

"Hige-sama do you think aniki will be okay after this? I mean you have more battle experience than him right?" Chamo asked. When he didn't get a response he asked again. "Hige-sama?" The ermine looked around him and found that Naruto wasn't anywhere near them any more.

-NMAC-

"Finally getting serious huh? That's right, that's what you should do," Chao said as she panted. The strain of using forced magic was putting a strain on her. "If you want to stop this plan, you have to beat me completely and mercilessly."

Negi's hair was covering his eyes as he spoke. "Please tell me...just one thing," he said.

"Huh?"

"You said that you came to this age just for this, and that it is everything to you," Negi then lifted his head and met eyes with Chao, "then these two years that you spent with Ku Fei-san, Hakase-san and everyone else in 3-A, what did they mean to you?"

Chao lowered her head as a small smile appeared on her face. "Surprisingly these past two years were fun, but even that is just a dream for me." Her eyes then hardened as she glared at Negi. "Talk is over. Last tale my magic scir magister, heed the contract and serve me tyrant of flames. Come, flame of purification, fiery broadsword. Fire and brimstone surged forth, Sodom burned. Turning the sinners into the dust of death!"

"Ras tel ma scir magister, let the spirits of the wind that hurl lightning come. Let the southern storm blow with lightning."

"Blazing Heat in the Sky!/Jupiter's Thunderstorm!" Chao and Negi shouted respectively, sending forth their strongest attacks at each other. It caused a large explosion that covered the sky between the two. As the people on the ground were watching they gasped at what happened when the smoke cleared. Chao was still standing, but had a melancholy and regretful smile on her face. Negi's face paled at what was in front of him, as did everyone.

-NMAC-

"H-how can that be possible?" Konoka asked herself as she stared at the screen, her heart was beating rapidly and tears were forming in her eyes.

Asuna and Setsuna were starring wide eyed as well, during their fight to see what happened. "Wh-why is he there?" Setsuna asked Asuna who was breathing heavily at the sight.

"I-I d-don't kn-know..." Asuna replied.

"What's happening? Wasn't he just down here minutes ago!" Misa shouted. "How the hell did he get up there."

Eva growled under her breath as she stared at the scene, her hands shaking with rage.

"This has to be just CG right?" Chizuru asked no one in particular, her hands going to her heart. "I mean this can't be real."

-NMAC-

"I knew that spell would come in handy, and using it right then was the best," Chao explained, remorse heavily laden in her voice. "Who knew summonimg your partner would be so useful." In front of her stood Naruto. He was badly burnt on his front, seeing as Chao used the pactio she made with him to summon him to protect her from the blast at the last moment. Blood was dripping from his mouth as he clutched his body in pain. His eyes were getting blurry as he wavered in the air and he began to fall.

"Nii-san!" Negi shouted as his surrogate brother fell from the sky.

"You should pay attention more Negi-bouzu," Chao replied as she readied a gun at him. However, she was stopped when something latched onto her wrist. Looking down she saw that it was one of Naruto's tails.

"Just. Who. The. Hell. Do. You. Think. You. Are!" Naruto said as he slowly floated up. His four tails suddenly gained two more, and his demonic energy flared again covering his body. The wounds on his body were quickly being healed and steam was shown to be coming off of him. Three of his tails took an arm and leg for their own and bound Chao. Everyone watched in shock as Naruto's face became more feral and anger was evidently growing. Once his body was fully healed he glared at Chao. "I do not like it when I am used as a shield. Abeat!" Suddenly the entirety of the pactio disappeared, but a red energy was still around him. "Ninpo: Shitsurakuen!" Using the same move he finished up the 'fake' Rakan with, he slammed his fist into Chao stomach. This released all his pain and damage into the girl and her eyes widened as her body was wracked with an overload of pain receptors.

"Adeat!" Naruto shouted, again activating the pactio he was previously using once the move was done. 'This will make sure I don't faint after that move and help me stay up in the sky,' he thought to himself as he went back to his single tailed form. Chao on the other hand had fainted from receiving all the pain Naruto had in his body. He then grabbed her before she fell to her death. He placed her into his arms bridal style.

"Nii-san!" Negi shouted as he floated near his brother. "Are you alright?" Naruto nodded. "I am so sorry! I didn't know she would have done that, I mean..."

"Negi shut up, you'll just make a fool of yourself if you keep on talking like that. Besides I'm fine," Naruto replied. Suddenly a bright light in the sky alerted the two that something was up. Above the World Tree, a large glowing ring of magic appeared. "Damn, did we lose?"

"I'll try to see if I can go...urk!" Negi stopped talking as he too began to fall. Naruto used his tail to catch the boy, as he too fainted but from magical exhaustion instead of pain.

"Damned brat leaving me with all the work," Naruto frowned.

"Naruto-sensei!" he heard a voice call out. Looking to his side he saw something that made his eyes quirk upward.

-NMAC-

When Chao opened her eyes, she was met with an odd sight. She was looking at the faces of Akira, Yuna, Fumika Asuna and Konoka. "Wha...?" was the most intelligent thing the Chinese/Martian genius could say. Looking down she saw her clothes were ripped and torn from the blast of Naruto's attack and her left braid was undone letting her shoulder length hair flow.

"Are you okay Chao?" Konoka asked.

"Eh?" She sat up and noticed that they were still in the sky...upon Satsuki's flying street stand train, aka her restaurant. Looking around she noticed that the cheerleader trio and Misora were there as well. Asuna was tending to Negi at the moment. Her eyes then moved towards the last figure on the roof of the cart. Naruto was looking at her with an expression she would have not expected. Instead of the hate, and anger that he should be feeling for using him as a meat shield, he looked downright concerned and worried. Naruto shook his head before laying down on the opposite side of the cart.

"Seems like we won after all," was heard from the blond as he stared at the ring of magic. It rotated faster, as the giant robots on the ground disappeared and the magic gathered into the ring. With an intense explosion, the magic created the biggest display of lights any of them had seen.

"Seems like you have rather good friends Negi-bouzu. I couldn't stand up to 3-A at all," Chao stated.

-NMAC-

At the time everyone who was hit by the displacement bullet were released, the entire school was having a large picnic, and everyone was involved. Well almost everyone. Chao was standing on top of a large structure of rectangular pillars. "What are you doing here all alone Chao? Shouldn't you be celebrating with everyone else?" a voice called out. Looking around her she found no one speaking. "Really now Chao I know you are smarter than that."

"I know Naruto-kun," Chao said as he appeared right behind her within a yellow flash. He wasn't facing her, but rather the people who were merrily enjoying the after festival food. "What are you doing here-ne?"

"Came to talk before otouto could come over. You mind speaking with me for a bit?" Naruto asked.

"I don't see why not." Naruto turned around and looked her directly in the eye, before bonking her on the head softly with his fist. She rubbed her the spot he hit. "That hurt," she said playfully. The two stood there in awkward silence. "How come you're not made at me?"

"Being mad at you will bring nothing but hatred, so I really have no reason to be mad. Sure you used me to take up the brunt of Negi's attack but I am still here. Besides I already got you back, back then." Chao nodded slowly and followed his gaze back to where the people were. "What I'm trying to say is I've already forgiven you."

"Do you do that so easily? It's only been minutes and yet you already forgave me."

"Again if I didn't forgive you, what would it bring? Nothing productive. Though you should thank Konoka for healing you, doubling the amount of pain and damage you have took awhile for her to heal you know."

"I will before I leave," Chao nodded.

"So you really are leaving," the two heard Negi say.

"The plan which meant everything to me has disappeared. I have no business here anymore."

"You know it's not going to be the same without you here," Naruto said turning back to the girl. "I mean you're part of our class after all."

"I know that Naruto-kun," Chao replied. She then looked over Negi and saw his troubled face. "Do you have something to say Negi-bouzu?"

"I do," the red head replied. "Those marking on you had on your body, that wasn't all done by you right?" Chao didn't reply. "I thought so...That could not have been done by sane people! That had consumed body and soul of mages alike! That insane technique to obtain unbelievable power. Who the hell did that to you! For what purpose!" Naruto whistled. The second time in one day he heard his surrogate brother say something that would not usually be uttered from his mouth. "What happened in your past Chao-san? That problem you once told me about, is it the reason you put this plan into action?"

"Sorry Negi-bouzu I can't tell you about the future," Chao answered.

"She's right, the time police might go after her," Naruto continued comically. Chao nodded her head in agreement.

"NII-SAN! CHAO-SAN! This is not the time to be fooling around!" Negi complained. Both Naruto and Chao rolled their eyes, almost in sync.

"I can't really conceive the idea of understanding someone by learning their past. If you want to know about someone open a book or watch the news. The world is full of them, a past no too different from the common tragedies. As I said," Chao produced another time machine, "I don't have anymore to say to you. So fare-Ara?" she looked confused as the watch was missing from her hands.

"Don't tell me you're leaving without telling them goodbye?" Naruto asked as he was twirling the chain of the watch in his hand, and then nodded over to the four people who appeared with them. On the pillar opposite them, Satsuki and Ku stood together, while flying above them was Chachamaru holding onto Satomi. On the ground below everyone who is on Negi's team were watching attentively.

"Everyone..." Chao whispered.

"You were lying when you said that you had no business here anymore. There are no hopeless dreams in this world," Negi stated with a smile on his face. "So why don't you try to be a magister magi along side me and everyone else. If you can change the future in the same era, I won't let anyone make an objection."

"That doesn't sound like a bad future," Chao said closing her eyes.

"Oh does that mean you are going to stay here?" Naruto asked.

"Nope I'm going home." This had everyone face fault and just Naruto sniggered at the reaction.

"Should have known," the blond said. Chao was laughing along side him.

When Negi recovered he asked, "Why Chao-san?"

"Hahaha! I have a question for you that is more important. Are you sure it's alright to say something that sounds so much like a confession of love to me?" Chao asked.

"Eh?" everyone, including Naruto, said at the same time.

"In the magical world, to aim to be magister magi together would be like asking the person to marry then for life. Don't you think it's a bad idea to propose to someone who's blood related to you like me, Negi-bouzu?" As she said this she was cupping the red head's face, causing him to blush profusely.

"Wait just a moment here Chao!" Asuna shouted.

"We're standing here listening and you give us this crap!" Haruna hollered.

"Ahahaha don't get mad, it was just a joke-ne," Chao happily claimed. Naruto then thwacked her on the back of the head.

"Don't joke around like that, you'll give them a heart attack," Naruto scolded the girl as she massaged her head. He pointed over to Nodoka and Yue who were blushing profusely.

"Hehehe sorry."

"Chao-san please stop joking around!" Negi begged of her.

"My my do we have to use force to reach a conclusion for this too?" She then put on her game face and smirked. "Very well...I'll use my final trump card the most powerful, greatest attack I, Chao Lingshen, am capable of-ne." Everyone was trembling from fear as she put up a malicious aura. On the other hand, Naruto was practically laughing so hard mentally as Chao had used the connection between him and her through their pactio to tell him what it was. "If I had used this during the fight earlier, I would have won for sure, but I had to seal I up because it was simply to dangerous."

"Ch-Chao-san?" Negi stuttered.

"If I use this, conflict among your comrades will be inevitable. The ultimate psychological weapon created by the power of the future. And that is..." Asuna, Setsuna and everyone were all prepared for any attack coming their way. But they were surprised when she pulled out a book from he back pocket, "THIS-NE!" By now Naruto was on the floor laughing crazily at the dumbfounded expression on the people since they couldn't read what it said on the cover. On it, it said The Family Tree of the Chao Family.

"For me to be Negi-bouzu's descendent, of course, would mean that Negi-bouzu would have to marry someone and have kids-ne? Which means, of course, that the name of that 'someone' would be in this book as well!" The only sound that could be heard as she finished her sentence was Naruto's laughter doubling in volume at the faces of the girls. Haruna literally dropped her jaw along with Setsuna and Kazumi, Yue and Nodoka were looking at thing as if it were treasure, Konoka was clapping her hands and Asuna looked like it was the end of the world. Not only that Chachamaru, Ku Fei, Ayaka and Makie all heard it too.

"This bad! Get that book Negi-kun!" Kazumi shouted. But before anyone could do anything, Haruna swooped in on one of her summoned pictures, in the shape of a bird, and took it.

"Such a dangerous thing," she tsk-ed. "I'll dispose of this responsibly."

"By the way, inside that thing contains not only Negi-bouzu's marriage partner, but also details. Such as when they will be married, and the number of kids have been recorded," Chao told them with a smile on her face. Everyone present at the moment were trembling from anxiety. Naruto had finally calmed down in his laughing. That was when Chao delivered the final blow. "Also Naruto-kun's family should be in there as well, seeing he marries into our family." Chisame's eyes widened at that and looked at the book as well as a few other girls. Soon a battle for the book started with Chao laughing at the ruckus the girls made. It took approximately 57 seconds for the entire Negi party to fall.

"That wasn't very nice," Naruto said wiping away his tears from his laughter.

"I know but it is true. You may marry into Negi-bouzu's family."

"I'll remember that," Naruto replied.

"It seems like I have to go," Chao said.

"Do you really have to?" Negi asked.

"It has been a fun farewell, it's been fun for me ne. Besides my wish has been granted."

"What do you mean by that?"

"My plan has disappeared, yet I am still alive." Chao turned toward her other teacher. "Naruto-kun if you please?"

"Trade you?" Chao tilted her head to the side when he said that. "You still have my pactio."

"Ah." From the breast part of her suit she pulled out a pactio. She threw it to Naruto, and he threw back her watch.

"Take care ne. If I am really an ancestor of yours just like Negi," Naruto stated, "I'm proud to have you as a descendent," Naruto said after poking her gently on her forehead with a smile on his face. Chao smiled back and gave him a hug, like one a child would give to a parent.

"Thanks ojii-san. Take care of our greatest ancestor for me," she whispered into his ear. Naruto nodded, knowing that she wanted him to take care of Negi. Chao then activated her time machine and multiple spell circles appeared in the sky. "Satsuki, take care of Chao Boa Zi for me, as I leave you everything."

"Leave it to me," Satsuki replied.

"Hakase, take care of the future technology as I will leave, just handle it as we discussed. And the data we didn't finish..."

"Everything is under control Chao-san," Satomi replied.

"Chachamaru, you already have become your own person. Life your life to the fullest."

"Understood," Chachamaru replied. "Thank you Chao Lingshen."

"No thank you, both of you for your hard work today." Chao then looked to the side and nodded towards where Eva stood. She then looked at Ku Fei. "Let's do battle again-ne!"

"For sure!" Ku shot back.

"So long Negi-bouzu, Naruto-kun, let us all meet again one day," Chao said waving her arms. Naruto just nodded, and Negi did too.

"Yes! One day let's meet again!" Negi shouted. And with a flash of light that shot into the sky, Chao was gone. Negi and Naruto stood next to each other when the until sunrise. Just looking at the spot where Chao had disappeared. "She really is gone," Negi repeated to himself. Everyone were watching the two.

"Yeah," Naruto sighed. "She was a strong woman ne?" Negi nodded. "But then again that's because she had you as a teacher."

"But I didn't do anything to help her."

"That is not true!" Ku shouted. "You let her have happy memories of this time so don't worry about it Negi-bouzu."

"Yeah."

"Time to go home brat," Naruto told Negi. "Asuna get your charge! I need to head somewhere first."

"Okay," Asuna replied. "Negi let's go home. You need to rest."

-NMAC-

"What are you doing here idiot?" Eva asked. "And why is there a bad illusion on your body?" Naruto was in her resort as he walked towards his room.

"I need to rest here for a while," he replied. "I just noticed something about my pactios, save for my new one with Chao."

"And what would that be?"

"They are hurting me somewhat." Naruto told her as he took of the henge, to show that he was still in his demon pactio form. "This one heals my wounds yes, but it doesn't take away the pain." The blond explained that part as he entered his room in the resort. "My cleansing whirlpool, puts a lot of mental stress on me seeing as I shouldn't be able to do magic, and it's affecting my performance. While the red dawn has me struggling with chakra deficits, but I can work on that one easily."

"That doesn't explain why you are still here..."

"The moment I take this pactio down," Naruto gestured to his tail and ears, "I'm probably going to be in a lot of pain. I don't want the girls to see that. Even you." Naruto looked at her. "So I'm going to stay here and rest for a while until the pain subsides. Don't come into this room the moment you leave okay, not until I walk out of it myself."

Eva contemplated it for a moment before nodding. "Don't do anything stupid, idiot. I don't want to lose you yet."

"I know." Eva walked to the door and closed it behind her. The moment she did, she heard the most gut wrenching scream from Naruto on the other side of the room.

"That idiot better be okay after this..."

-OMAKE-

A bright flash of light illuminated a dark room, and Chao had appeared all tattered up. Looking around she noticed a few familiar things around the room and smiled sadly to herself. "I guess I'm home," she muttered.

"And in trouble," and elderly male voice told her. Whipping around Chao came face to face with an old man with white spiked hair, a red shirt and black pants. In his hand was a brown walking cane. His eyes were closed, but Chao knew that he was still looking at her. There were some wrinkles on his body but he stood full erect and had some muscles still on him. Though the thing that caught her eyes were one distinguishing feature on his face. Whisker like marks on his cheeks.

"Naruto-ojii-san!" Chao shouted giving him a hug. He hugged her back before releasing her and giving her small on her head with the cane. "Ow! Ojii-san!"

"That's what you get for disappearing for two years, just to go to school. You had your mother worried sick."

"But ojii-san!" Chao whined. Naruto rolled his eyes, he couldn't believe that this was the same girl all that was his student all those years back. She seemed like a whiney little brat in his mind, but then again she was his favorite great-great-granddaughter. The one he loved to spoil. He gave her one more hug before looping her arm with his.

"Let's go, don't want your mother to kill me for not bring you home sooner." Chao giggled and nodded.

"Let's go ojii-san!" The two then began walking out of the hallway. "By the way how is great-great-grandmother doing?" Naruto just chuckled but didn't answer.
