Story Start!
"3rd night in a row that warrior has appeared, and then just vanished like it was nothing." Yuuto stated as he held his injured arm. He had lighter injuries than before, having just gotten nicked by her hammer and got his shoulder broken. Rias would be able to heal his shoulder rather easily, though he would have to suffer through it until she did get to fixing him.
Koneko and Akeno were actually worse than he was.
Akeno had taken a big attack to the face, and was suffering from light burns across her face, and possibly had a concussion from where she was smacked through the school building. The berserk fighter had been able to get a clean hit in on her, a hit that took her completely out of the battle for several minutes.
"... Ow... ow..." Koneko groaned when Rias put her hands around her, both of them were naked on school grounds as she was getting Rias energy and having her body healed with it. The pain was ebbing away, but she was going to be sore for the rest of the day. Her spine had taken a direct hit, thankfully she didn't get paralyzed by it, but her getting hit was what allowed for Akeno to get hit when the fighter used her as a projectile to distract Akeno.
Her back was nothing but bruise.
Yuuto was turned around, not looking at Koneko or Akeno as the older woman started to undress, since it was her turn to get healed when Koneko was done.
-With Naruto-
"Yes, now that is how you catch a fish." Naruto grinned as he went fishing first thing in the morning. He didn't have much option, since he had been kicked out of the apartment when the landlord decided that his reputation was too bad to allow him to stay a resident. With the money he took from the gangsters, and the money he got from getting his deposit back, he bought camp equipment.
A tent, fishing rod, cooking equipment, bathroom stuff, soap, among other things that he kept stored in his tent.
He made sure to mark off this area as his "territory" by placing the Uzumaki swirl in a couple of areas, on trees as graffiti. He didn't care about this area or claiming it, but gangsters wouldn't steal his stuff when they thought that he would come after their asses for it. Not to mention he had sent up camp underneath a wide bridge, so that nobody would see his location unless they were really looking for it. Fish also liked to stay in shadows, and under a bridge meant that he had a constant, and free, source of food.
Fuck landlords.
He would save his money, and buy his own house. That way he wouldn't have to pay rent to anyone, and he wouldn't have to worry about getting kicked out of it.
He already had his homework done too, meaning that until it was time to get ready for school he could just relax and catch a lot of fish. He had coolers, those cost a pretty penny, that he filled with water so that he could store the fish alive for a little while. Fresh fish was better anyway, and he didn't have any way to store things for the cold yet. He was going to need to buy a portable freezer or something.
Nah, he would just catch fresh food-
"Grrrrrr."
"Ah, bear... fine then, bear meat is good too." Naruto stated as he stood up and tossed his jacket to the side. The bear seemed to have claimed this spot as it's own and liked to use it to fish, and sensing an intruder in it's territory it needed to get rid of him. It was a Japanese black bear, nothing very big considering it was a bear. It was still a bear, and still stronger than a human though, but this bear was smaller than him, though it was thicker and weighed nearly twice what he weighed.
The second the bear ran at Naruto, Naruto responded by slugging it in the nose with his full force, getting an injured yelp of pain from the bear. It recoiled back, but Naruto lept forward and grabbed the bear around the neck with both of his arms. It's claws dug into his arm, and he let go of the bear to stop it from tearing his arm around.
It roared at him, and stood up to it's full height, before it took a swipe of it's claw at him.
*Crunch*
Naruto snapped the bear's arm by grabbing it and twisting it hard to the side, and he pushed the bear onto it's side. He grappled the creature again, this time purposely staying on it's injured side, and wrapped his arms around it's neck and squeezed it tightly. He flexed his arms next to the thickest blood vessels he could feel pulsing in it's neck, and when he felt the pulse start to speed up as the bear began to struggle, he only tightened his own further.
"You are a worthy opponent, and I will respect your strength by taking it into myself. I will end your suffering as quickly as I can." Naruto let go of the bear with one hand, and grabbed it's nose. With a sharp twist, the weakened and dazed bear had it's neck face an odd angle as a wet pop could be heard from inside of it's neck.
Naruto clapped his hands together as the bear dropped dead on the ground next to him, and Naruto started to lick his own wounds, spitting out the blood onto the ground. He would need to pick up some bandages or something, or not since he would usually be healed from stuff like this after some rest.
"H-holy shit, you just killed a b-bear with your bare hands!?"
"Technically, the only way a person could kill a bear is with bare hands." Naruto grinned at his own joke when he looked up, and saw a guy wearing his school's uniform looking down at him from the top of the bridge. Naruto blinked, before he quickly turned his head and frowned, not wanting to show his smiling face to some stranger he didn't even know the name of.
Average looking Japanese guy, but Naruto had heard some rumors of a guy with this general appearance.
He was one of the Perverted Trio, Naruto didn't know which one since he didn't know which name went to wish face. He didn't pay much attention to rumors, but he remembered hearing about some member of that trio getting their ass handed to them by the kendo club for peeping on it's female members.
"... What?"
"... Despite English being a mandatory subject, you idiots don't understand it in the slightest." Naruto sighed in annoyance, since he had switched to English to make his joke. His joke fell flat though, since the perverted boy didn't seem to understand how the words bear and bare could sound the same and had such hilarious different meanings for this exact situation. "Seriously, I'm a complete dumbass, and even I can speak 3 languages." Naruto complained in annoyance.
He made an awesome joke, and this idiot doesn't get it?
Complete bullshit.
"Doesn't matter, how did you do that? You just killed a bear, and made it look EASY! You've GOT to show me how you did that!"
The idiot ran down the steep towards Naruto.
"... Japanese Black Bears are growing closer to extinction, so I'm not going to kill another one unless it attacks me, so I don't know how I'm going to show you how to do it. Anyway, there isn't a trick, just get stronger enough to kill a bear... it's not like this was an American Black Bear, those guys get big." Naruto downplayed his own kill. There were plenty of bigger bears in the world, and Japanese bears were among the smallest of bears. Most creatures, even humans, in Japan were overall smaller than the rest of the world.
The national averages for heights and weights of the Japanese were smaller than the rest of the world, and most animals naturally found in Japan were smaller than the rest of the world as well.
His bear kill wasn't that impressive.
"If I can do stuff like that, then I can show off my mad skills to my girlfriend... did I mention I had a girlfriend? Yeah, just got a girlfriend yesterday... and she totally asked me out."
"Ah... you're Issei Hyoudou of the perverted trio then. Are you just talking to me so you can brag about having a girlfriend to a stranger?" Naruto asked him in a dull tone. Naruto grabbed the bear by the scruff of the neck, and tossed it over his shoulder. He didn't have a way to keep this meat fresh, so he would need to start cooking it right away.
Issei rubbed his nose and grinned.
"Yeah, sorry... I'm just super happy, finally going to lose the V-card soon, and it's gonna be awesome. Yeah, I'm like totally awesome." Issei bragged to Naruto, ignoring the fact that Naruto used a knife he had in his tent, to slice open the bear's throat and allowed the blood to drain into the river.
He was going to make bear jerky, since that would last a bit, though it would take a bit of effort for him to make as well.
Fucking apartment landlord.
"Yeah, be careful of women, women who ask guys out always have ulterior motives. I bet she's secretly trying to use this as a chance to get close to you, and hurt you really badly. Women are cruel creatures... just a warning though. You can't trust a pretty face until after she's shown her true colors." Naruto looked towards Issei.
Issei waved his hand and made a dismissing motion.
"Pfffff, yeah right... she seemed really honest when she confessed to me. Anyway, if there is a chance to bone a girl, I'm going to take it. Yuuma wouldn't ever hurt me, but thanks for the advice, nice to know you're looking out for a bro."
"We're not bros, and I'm not looking out for you. I'm just going to tell you a really nice I told you so when... I told you so... seriously, why even make schools teach English if the students don't bother remembering it." Naruto grumbled when he had to repeat himself. Considering that he had European looks himself, he believed that his father had been from England of America. He made sure to learn the language, on the off chance that he ever learned he had family who lived in those regions.
He knew his mother was from the destroyed Uzumaki, who died the night he was born. So he knew he was at least Half-Asian, but he didn't know what his other half was.
"Spoilsport... how is a guy suppose to brag about his girlfriend to strangers if the strangers are so anti-women?"
Naruto started to ignore Issei from that point on, and didn't say another word to the point until he left.
"... I'm not Anti-woman... I just know better than to trust them." Naruto grumbled when he was all alone, and his dead bear was over halfway done being drained of it's blood. Seeing that school was going to be starting soon, Naruto grabbed his robe and tied the bear up by the leg, before he hoisted it up into the air using the bridge. Now that would keep his bear away from wild animals, and let it keep draining.
Naruto hoped that Issei wouldn't be too harmed.
Stranger or not, he didn't wish anything seriously bad to happen to others.
Time to head to school.
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Yes, Naruto is currently homeless.
AKA - Naruto is currently being trained in many survival skills that can help him in the future, so this does serve a purpose other than causing Naruto stress.
I have another plan for this that will have a positive effect on future events, so this is important.
Trust me, there is a good chance you all will enjoy what I have planned.
