Alright, I've got the next chapter of "I'm Not Abnormal!" ready for everyone I hope you all enjoy.

Killing Urges

Naruto and the others blinked in surprise when they reached the second floor of the basement. "Well…I wasn't expecting this." Naruto admitted with a lack of care in his tone.

Zenkichi nodded his head as he glanced over his shoulder. "Yeah…I mean we just came down those stairs right?" he asked looking at the stair case behind them. "So, why does it seem like we're suddenly outdoors?"

Medaka took a moment to look around with a neutral face. "Regardless of how it looks this is most certainly a Biotope, so after the maze we're now in the lab facility." She explained while stepping forward. "The purpose escapes me, but this is also part of the flask plan." She gestured at the ceiling. "Look closely at the sky, it's actually a ceiling. The warmth and light are being controlled by air conditioners and computers."

In response a new voice called out to them. "If you understand all that, then close the door behind you." To the group's left a young man wearing the Hakoniwa Academy was calmly watering the pants with a traditional Japanese pale of water. "If you leave the door open like that, the temperature will lose its balance." He explained as he glanced at him revealing his angular face and naturally narrowed eyes. He had a small wolf tail at the base of his neck while his bangs framed his face. "It takes a lot of work to keep the environment just right."

Signaling Akune to close the door Medaka bluntly asked "Are you part of the class thirteen?"

"That's right." The young man stated. "I'm a senior of class thirteen." He didn't once stop his task as he continued speaking. "I've heard about all of you." He stated giving them a small glance before continuing his work. "Especially you, Namikaze Naruto."

Naruto hummed in thought as he regarded the person in front of him. "You have, have you?" he asked with a small smile on his face. "And what, pray tell, have you heard about me?"

"They say you're unkillable." He stated putting down the bucket and ladle in his hands. "My name is Munakata Kei." Suddenly he dashed forward swinging a katana horizontally at Naruto's neck. "I will be the one to prove you mortal."

"Predictable." Naruto stated impassively as he caught the blade between his hands. "It's far too early for someone like you to catch me off guard." He stated knocking Munakata away.

"I can't say I'm surprised." Munakata stated as numerous weapons appeared on his person. "To be able to take on the only one who can stand on equal footing with the god-like beast Kurokami Medaka, I'll have to use smoke and mirrors."

"Hold on Namikaze, this whole thing is an issue for the Student council to handle; I should be the one to deal with him." Medaka declared placing her hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"You shouldn't do that Medaka-chan!" Maguro shouted groping his little sister from behind. Earning him a Perses mode enhanced punch to the face which sent him flying into a nearby boulder.

"First a killer then a molester…class thirteen sure is crazy." Akune mentioned as Kikaijima nodded in agreement.

"Well…if you look closely its Maguro-san, Medaka-chan's brother." Zenkichi explained as he walked over to the man who had a bruise forming on his face. "So what are you doing here?" he asked as the man smiled.

"OF course I'll be wherever my cute little sister is." Maguro stated with a shrug of his shoulders. "You know, you shouldn't fight so much Medaka-chan, you're still not healed yet, so why don't you just sit there in Perses mode for a while, it'll accelerate your healing."

Naruto nodded his head "Leave this one to me." He stated simply. "I'm the best match for him." He declared as several knives appeared in his hands. "As you're all aware…I don't like sticking out." Naruto began explaining as he turned to face Munakata who had politely waited for them to finish talking. "What you don't know, is that I'm a professional."

"A professional you say…" Munakata muttered as another sword appeared in his open hand. "No matter, you will die all the same." He declared rushing forward.

Naruto sighed as he easily blocked both attacks "How do you expect to beat me with weapons if you don't even know how to use them?" Naruto asked as Munakata continued pulling out weapons to attack him with.

"Is it me…or does Naruto seem bored?" Zenkichi asked looking at the blonde oddly. "Like he was expecting Munakata-senpai to challenge him more or something like that."

"I'm glad you noticed Zenkichi-kun." Maguro stated with a bright smile as the others gave him a confused look. "Although I haven't been given much time to observe him, it's blatantly obvious to me that Naruto-san is well trained to deal with these types of situations. Yes I do believe Naruto-san here was expecting something more from Munakata-kun."

"It seems like none of these will kill your life." Munakata stated dropping his now useless sword hilt the blade itself having been broken off. "But no matter, I've already deduced what the best weapon to kill your life with is." Suddenly in his hands was a giant spiked club nearly twice his size.

"You know…size doesn't matter nearly as much as people claim." Naruto stated take the given chance to make a joke. "Well…if you're going to kill me take your shot." Naruto grinned dangerously as he held his arms out to the side as he dropped his weapons. "KILL ME IF YOU CAN!" he shouted as Munakata swung the club down at him. Almost casually Naruto struck the club with his bare knuckle breaking the weapon in half. "Is this all you can do?" he asked looking at Munakata in a bored manner.

"Did Namikaze-san really just break that giant club in half?" Kikaijima asked as the others stared in mute shock.

"Don't be so surprised." Maguro stated without looking away. "Naruto's actually being serious for once. You've mentioned that he approaches everything with a sort of blasé attitude right? This is also a product of his experiences."

"What kind of life have you lived where nothing surprises you anymore?" Munakata asked as he tossed aside his broken weapon. "I suppose it doesn't matter, if that didn't work I'll just use these." he stated pulling out an M1911 and a Desert Eagle.

Suddenly Naruto was in front of him as he struck both of Munakata's arms forcing them to point at the ground where he then struck his hands directly causing him to drop the firearms. "Those things are dangerous." The whiskered blonde stated simply as he quickly dismantled all of the weapons. "Don't bother reaching for anymore of your firearms, I've already broken them all."

Eyes widening Munakata quickly began pulling out his weapons, and sure enough all of them were broken beyond repair. "How…"

"You claim to be a killer, but…" Naruto paused as he looked at him. "You've yet to kill a single person." He sighed heavily as everyone's eyes widened. "Well I suppose in the grand scheme of things, that's a good thing." He muttered rubbing his shoulders. "People in this day and age shouldn't be thinking about killing." He nodded his head as he spoke as if agreeing with himself.

Munakata hummed in thought as he considered the blonde before him. "Well you're not wrong." He eventually admitted. "Although my urges to kill are real I really don't want to, so I carry around all these scary looking weapons so people will run away before my good judgment is over written."

"So, because he's a master at killing he's also a master at how to not kill right?" Zenkichi asked getting a nod from Munakata.

"Right, in order to avoid these urges I avoided looking at people, but it's awfully lonely, even abnormals like me want people to talk with." He looked at Naruto again. "That being said, how about it Namikaze Naruto will you be my friend?"

Naruto sighed "Sure why not, you wouldn't be the weirdest person I've met." He agreed shaking Munakata's hand. "But we're going to need to work on those killing instincts of yours." He stated breaking the small dagger that had slid from Munakata's sleeve when their hands met.

"That was rather quick Naruto-kun." Maguro stated as Naruto walked back to meet with them as Munakata grabbed his bucket in order to finish his task. "How did you figure that Munakata-kun wasn't a killer?"

"I could tell from his attacks, he wasn't trying to kill me, he was trying to miss the entire time." Naruto sighed tiredly. "Honestly because he did that I held back a lot out of habit." He stretched his arms above his head. "I'm an expert at dealing with killers, but if they hold back like that I can't help but think of them as weaklings who can't take a hit so I end up not going all out." Naruto actually looked disappointed as he rolled his neck around.

"I was expecting to spend a lot more time on this floor, so what should we do now? Just move on?" he asked looking around.

"No this is perfect, since we have the extra time there are some things I want to know Namikaze." Medaka stated as she stepped forward. "What do you mean, you're a professional?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he looked off to the side. "Of all things you ask about that?" he asked under his breath before sighing. "First of all, what do you think I meant?" he questioned looking around. All he got in response was a couple of shrugs. "Ugh…you guys seriously don't think about these things?" with another sigh he showed them on of his kunai knives. "What profession uses things like this?" he asked showing it to all of them.

"Isn't this…a Kunai?" Maguro asked taking a closer look at it. "Hm…so either a farmer, or a Ninja." His eyes widened. "A professional killer." He muttered aloud earning wide eyes from everyone else.

"Retired now." Naruto added in helpfully "Some things happened and so I found myself with a lot of free time. Rather than go back to that type of work I decided to just settle down, do things normal people do."

"That explains how you handled Munakata-senpai so easily." Akune nodded in understanding. "I get it now, no wonder you're so athletic and strong."

"So in essence Namikaze-san is actually a really scary person." Kikaijima muttered as she regarded him carefully.

"Ah, I'm no different now than I was before." Naruto waved it off. "Like I said, I don't really want much other to enjoy my school life while I can." He explained with a small smile.

"So...you're like what a child soldier basically." Zenkichi simplified getting a laugh from Naruto.

"Pretty much!" he agreed with another laugh. "Well things are different now, so I can just relax…well mostly."

"I suppose it doesn't matter anymore." Medaka agreed as she looked at everyone. "You're not someone who kills for fun, or treats killing as the only solution, I doubt this will get in the way of how we interact with each other." She smiled as well as she held out her hand to shake his. "But, don't think we won't take you down if you do!" she declared gripping his hand tightly.

Chuckling Naruto shook his hand out before regarding her seriously. "Don't worry too much about me, there are bigger things to worry about at the moment." He stated clearly as he began walking away. "Like whether or not Zenkichi likes pink."

"Naruto!" Medaka shouted with a twitch eye as she began chasing him, the intention to inflict pain clear in her eyes. At the same time Zenkichi tilted his head to the side.

"Why would Medaka-chan need to worry about whether or not I like the color pink?" he asked looking at his fellow council members curiously.

"If we seriously need to tell you the reason you're an idiot." Akune stated simply as he followed after the two power houses while Kikaijima nodded in agreement before running off after them.

"Well…you didn't get to show off this time Zenkichi-kun but don't worry you'll get your chance." Maguro stated patting him on the shoulder. "As for what Naruto said, well…you'll figure it out eventually." Laughing he joined the others as Naruto led them on a merry chase.

End

Alright, it's a little short, but it's still at an acceptable length for me. I hope everyone enjoyed this one. The purpose was not to have so much character development as it was to show Naruto's true self to the others bit by bit. Also, do not worry; Zenkichi will get his own time to shine during the flask plan arc, just not against Munakata.
