Alright Mizore Chapter, let's just get started, it was interesting writing this while reading the actual physical copy of the manga, I know I used scene changes way too many times but that's literally because that's how it was in the manga, I tried my best to put the Naruto twist on it though without things getting too crazy, hopefully, this is the one Chapter that has this problem
Normal Speech: "I'll show you who's boss of this gym"
Flashbacks: "engravings give you no tactical advantage"
Biju/Fox/Summoning/Inner Moka/Mikogami: "It is currently real kiwi bird hours"
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV for scene changes

A month had gone by since the events with Gin and things had calm down for the Newspaper Club, their first issue blew up and sold out within the hour, this actually made the Newspaper Club relevant again in the Academy something that Ms. Nekonome was happy about
Gin, himself despite being a pervert had proven to the Club he was capable of being a leader when needed, though other times Gin would simply pick someone to put in charge and then leave
after their first paper was a hit they followed up on their success and it had been smooth sailing for the Newspaper Club
"Where are those two?" Kurumu asked in an irritated tone while Naruto was happily taking a nap and Yukari was reading a book silently as the three were stuck in the Clubroom waiting for Tsukune and Moka to get back with the story
"Take it easy, Cow-tits, they'll probably be back soon, gosh you really are impatient aren't you?" Yukari casually said while flipping a page of her book, a tick mark appeared on Kurumu's head as she made her way to the small witch
"What the hell did you just call me, washboard?" Kurumu questioned, Yukari sent down her book and stared into the Kurumu's violet eyes
"Cow-tits" Yukari repeated, Kurumu grit her teeth and snatched the book
"Hey! Give that back!" Yukari shouted as she tried to take back her book, while Kurumu read the cover of the book
"...' Sixty ways to improve her libido'...Yukari! You're eleven!" Kurumu shouted the Succubus held the book over Yukari's head
"So what!... I need it!... For Moka-chan!" Yukari shot back as she jumped up and down trying to reach her book, Naruto slowly lifted his head
"Could you guys keep it down?" The blond yawned as Kurumu rushed over to him with Yukari's book in hand
"Look at what she's reading!" Kurumu passed Naruto the book
the Shinobi rubbed his eyes, getting a hold of the book, and skimmed through a few pages, Naruto's cheeks turned pink
"How did you even get this book?" Naruto asked as he and Kurumu turned to the small witch
"I trade it with Gin-senpai, he wanted some of the leftover hot wax so he gave me this book in exchange" Yukari answered while poking her fingers together, Kurumu slammed her hands on the desk
"Oh, I just knew that he'd be wrapped up in this when I get my hands on that pervert" Kurumu said in a heated tone, Yukari used this distraction and took her book back before Kurumu or Naruto could do anything else, Moka and Tsukune burst through the door
"Okay! Sorry, we're late, we lost track of time " Tsukune said, holding several papers in his hands
"I did get the story though! Naruto, you still have the notes I told you to finish, right?" Moka asked as Naruto dug through his bag, after a few seconds, the Uzumaki passed her his notes
Moka beamed as she grabbed the papers and began to skim through them, however that smile she had on her face soon turned into a frown
"Naruto-kun...is...is this your handwriting?" Moka asked as Naruto nodded
"Yeah, is something wrong?" the blond answered, Tsukune walked over to Moka and looked at Naruto's notes with her
"It looks more like chicken scratches than an actual written language…" Tsukune said as Naruto took offense to that
"Hey! it's not that bad!" Naruto defended himself while Yukari and Kurumu peaked over at it
"It definitely looks like you could use some work there, Nii-san," Yukari said
"Um, what does that say?" Kurumu asked Moka who simply shrugged her shoulders
Naruto hung his head in shame, Moka suddenly swiped Naruto's notes away from Kurumu's gaze and put them in her bag
"W-Well it's fine, next time we'll put you on the Computer, Naruto-kun, anyway we still got to finish our issue for today," Moka said, Kurumu let out a groan
"It'd be nice if our Club president actually helped us, though" She whined and walked over to the copy machine, Naruto looked over to the Pink-haired Vampiress
"What's this issue's main story again?" Naruto asked while Moka began to get the supplies out
"There was some drama in the Tennis team that has made them disband, that's our big story anyway but I am sure with the smaller stories sprinkled into it we can make it work" Moka explained as Naruto took out a cardboard box and Kurumu leaned on the Machine with her arms folded under her chest
"Can't say I am surprised to hear that they disbanded" Kurumu huffed while Tsukune shrugged
"If we're quick about this, we'll get the next issue out by tomorrow morning," Tsukune said, the Newspaper Club soon got to work while Naruto tried to slowly type away on the computer, he was still new to this.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Yūgao watched as Naruto spar with his clones over and over, Naruto was improving but there were still a few flaws she could see in his fighting style, more like openings, the sign of an inexperienced Shinobi but overall Naruto was becoming more solid as a fighter.
"That's enough!" Yūgao barked, Naruto and his clones stop their spar and looked over to her, the clones suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke and Yūgao approached her blond student
"What's up, Sensei?" Naruto asked
"You've been improving at an unimaginable rate and I believe it's time for an actual proper spar between us," Yūgao said while Naruto nodded and backed up, the Uzumaki took a deep breath and got into his stance, Yūgao soon got into her own stance
The two circled each other as they waited for the other to make the first move, eventually, after a few minutes Yūgao jumped in and tried to strike Naruto, but to her surprise, Naruto blocked it and pushed her arm away again she tried to jab Naruto's face just as before, but Naruto once again blocked it
This went on a few more times before Yūgao got fed up at seeing the smug smirk on Naruto's face and she suddenly grabbed his arm and flipped him over her back
Thud*
The blond hit the ground and let out a yelp of pain
"Ow! Shit! What was that for?! I thought we were just trading hands?!" Naruto angrily shouted while Yūgao gave him a smug grin as she stood over him
"Well, I just wanted to remind you that you're still not where near my level," Yūgao said as Naruto got up and rubbed his back
"Whatever...hey sensei, I never got to ask...What are some of the Weaknesses of CQC" Naruto asked, Yūgao looked to ponder the question before answering
"Hmmm...I'd say Brute strength is probably its greatest weakness...to elaborate, I think you've met Maito Gai? Or maybe his student Rock Lee?" Yūgao asked as Naruto nodded and Yūgao continued
"What I mean by Brute strength is its the greatest weakness is...well...CQC is designed to take down enemies, you can't do that when your enemy is as sturdy as a boulder...it's difficult to explain...the best way I can get my point across, is to simply ask, would you try to perform a CQC takedown on Maito Gai while he has his Inner Gates opened?" Yūgao proposed while Naruto cringed internally at the prospect
"I already saw what Bushy brows can do, no thanks," said Naruto, Yūgao shook her head before she remembered something important
"Right, I almost forgot, I am going to be leaving on a job for the headmaster, so I am going to leave you something important..." Yūgao started before taking out a Katana from the sheath on her back
"This is yours, Jiraiya-sama paid for it, and from what he said in the letter it tore quite a hole in his pocket, I've held off on giving it to you because I wanted it to be more of a gift once you mastered channeling Wind Chakra in a blade but I have a feeling in my gut that there is going to be trouble while I am gone and I'd rather you be able to better defend yourself," Yūgao said as she passed him the blade
It was a normal-looking blade at first glance but as Naruto ran his fingers against the cold steel, he noticed the blade was very light and it had a red swirl on the leather hilt but other than that, it was a normal looking sword
"Why did it cost so much?" Naruto asked Yūgao looked over at him before digging through her training bag
"From what Jiraiya-sama said, that's because it's custom made with the best steel Iron country could offer him and it's was also designed with your large Chakra reserves in mind, do you recall what happened when we first tried to get you to channel Wind Chakra in a bokken?" Yūgao said while Naruto thought back to that time
The bokken completely fell apart as the Wind Chakra completely overflowed it and chipped away at the wood until it snapped in half.
Naruto was without a practice sword for a whole week until Yūgao could get a replacement which came out of Naruto's allowance that Tsunade would send over, something the blond wasn't happy about but he couldn't argue against it
"So I can just channel Wind Chakra into it and not worry about it snapping or something?" Naruto asked
"Not necessarily, I am sure it can still break if you keep pumping more Wind Chakra than it can hold, I am only giving you this just in case something terrible happens, I won't be around to protect you...here" Yūgao took out a small store scroll and passed it to Naruto
"Put the Sword in the Scroll and use it only in an extreme emergency, if you need to use Kenjutsu to get out a really bad spot don't be afraid to use it, however like I said, be mindful of how much Wind Chakra you start channeling in it, too much stress and the sword will start to take damage, keep the scroll with you at all times" Yūgao explained
Naruto gave her an understanding nod and looked at the blade one more time before putting it away in the scroll
"What's that job the old creep decided to give you anyway?" Naruto asked
"It's in the Human World, he told me not to give out all of the details but said if I do my job right I'll get really good pay for it" Yūgao answered while Naruto's eyes widened
"W-wait you're going to the human world?" Naruto questioned as Yūgao nodded
"That is all I'll say about it, I won't be back for a week and I expect you to take care of the place while I am gone...and if I find out you went into my room, I will gut you," Yūgao said in a casual tone, and Naruto nodded rapidly at the threat.
"I won't! I promise!"
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Naruto felt the morning spring air fill his lungs as he leaned on the Newspaper stand and watched his friends pass out copies
"Come and get it while it's hot!" Kurumu shouted as she passed another Newspaper to a student, Naruto watched from the stand as little by little the Newspaper stock began to disappear
"I guess we could say that this issue was pretty successful," Tsukune said, he gave another Newspaper to a student and turned to Moka, the Pink-Haired Vampiress was checking the last Newspaper box
"We've handed out almost everything," Moka said as she handed a female student, a copy of the Newspaper
"Yay! another popular edition," Kurumu said as she hugged a Surprised Tsukune
"And I think this calls for a celebration!" Yukari brought up while Naruto raised an eyebrow
"A celebration?" Naruto spoke as Yukari turned to him
"Yep! I think we should treat ourselves for all of the hard work we've been doing the past few weeks" Yukari elaborated
"That's a great idea, Yukari-chan! We could throw ourselves a celebration party" Moka added with a grin
"A Celebration party? Count me in" Kurumu chimed in, while Tsukune wormed his way out of Kurumu's grasp and began packing up the few Newspapers they didn't sell today.
"Sounds good, Naruto and I will get the snacks you guys get everything set in the Clubroom later," Tsukune said as Naruto placed his arms behind his head
"What about Gin-senpai? should we tell him about this?" Naruto asked Kurumu scoffed
"Hell no, the Pervert didn't help us beyond just leaving one of us in Charge before leaving to who knows where" Kurumu waved off as Naruto shrugged, it wasn't like she was wrong
"You guys actually like each other? I don't understand..." a voice said, the Newspaper Club turned to see a Light-purple haired girl with a sucker in her mouth
"Mizore?" Naruto said
"You know her?" Yukari asked in surprise as she turned to him
"Hey! How come she doesn't have to wear a uniform?" Kurumu pointed out but Mizore simply ignored the two and gave Naruto a grin as she approached him until she was only inches away from his face
"Naruto-kun...I can't believe I haven't noticed you were this cute before" Mizore said as Naruto shifted uncomfortably and gave a weak smile.
"hehe, right...what brings you here, Mizore?" Naruto asked, Mizore backed away and picked a Newspaper
"I am just here to pick up a paper, see you around, Naruto-kun," Mizore said as she walked away with a Newspaper in hand, leaving the confused group behind them, Kurumu and Moka watched the retreating form of Mizore while Tsukune and Yukari looked over to Naruto with a curious expression
"What was that about?" Moka asked while Naruto had to repress a sigh, he put up a smile for his friends and Kurumu spoke up
"Meh, Who knows...anyway we should start planning for our party!" Kurumu said as she threw her hands in the air
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Good morning everyone!" Ms. Nekonome greeted as she stood in front of her homeroom class
"I'd like to remind you that today is going to be the day we'll be choosing our Class officers, we'll need one Class president, one Vice president, and two secretaries, so any nominations?" the Homeroom teacher said as she scanned her students who continued to avoid her gaze until her eyes fell on her blond student
"Thank Kami, this isn't something I have to worry about," Naruto thought as he leaned back in his chair, Tsukune looked to be daydreaming and Moka was too busy writing in her journal to even be paying attention to class.
"I think Naruto Uzumaki would be a great Class president," a voice said, Naruto nearly fell out of his Chair when he turned around to see Mizore standing right behind him with her hand raised
"Wait, you actually came to class? And why did you nominate me!?" Naruto shouted, Moka and Tsukune jumped in surprise when they saw the girl from this morning, Mizore said nothing as she sat back down and smiled at Naruto
"Ah, Shirayuki-san...I forgot she was even in this class, she's almost never here...I've tried to still keep her updated on what's going on in the Academy but this is the first time she's been here in weeks..." Ms. Nekonome thought before she wrote Naruto's name on the Chalkboard
"Okay! We have our first nomination! Anyone else?" She asked her class
"What!? No! I never agreed to this!" Naruto shouted as he stood up and glared at the Woman but Ms. Nekonome ignored him then Moka stood up.
"I nominate Tsukune Aono for Class president!" Moka said as Tsukune's jaw dropped, Moka sat back in her chair and shot Tsukune a thumbs up while Tsukune gave her a horrified look
"What have you done?!" He mouthed over while Moka cutely looked confused with her friend's actions
"Alright! We have two nominations! Anyone else?" Ms. Nekonome spoke as she wrote those down, a few more names went around before the bell suddenly rang and the class was dismissed
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Congratulations, Tsukune-kun, Naruto-kun!" Moka cheerfully said, the three were in the hallways now while Naruto continued his rant and Tsukune still looked to be inwardly panicking
"I'm not going to do it, I'm serious! She's gonna have to find herself another candidate by tomorrow!" Naruto shouted as Tsukune sat on the stairs trying to calm his nerves
"Class president? Me? Why? I don't want that responsibility I-I'm human, I can't be Class president! ...okay, okay, just take it easy, Tsukune…they probably won't even pick you...yeah, they're way more likely to pick Naruto than you" Tsukune rationalized in his head
"But I think you or Tsukune-kun could be a great class president" Moka cluelessly said, while Naruto hung his head before taking a deep breath and placing his hands on Moka's shoulders
"Moka...aren't you forgetting something really important? Something very important about Tsukune and I?" Naruto spoke as he gave her a forced grin, the Vampiress pondered the question, she returned his grin with one of her own and shook her head
"Hmm...nope! Not at all!" She answered Naruto groaned in frustration
"Fine! Whatever! I give up!" Naruto said the Uzumaki stormed off while Tsukune watched his blond friend leave
"I think we should let him cool off, we should probably go get the snacks for the party," Tsukune said before standing up, Moka slowly nodded and the two quickly made their way to the cafeteria
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Naruto left the main Academy hallway while continuously ranting in his head, he didn't mind the idea of being Class president but having more responsibilities here would only hind him, something he couldn't have...not with Sasuke and Akatsuki still out there
The Uzumaki sat down on a bench, he slumping his shoulders and tried to clear his mind before an Idea struck him
"I could just ask the Old creep to do something about me being a Candidate! That could work right?" Naruto thought as he stood up
"Congratulations," a voice from behind him said
"Mizore?" Naruto turned around to see the girl giving him a blank stare and playing with her sucker
"What's your problem?! Why did you nominate me?" Naruto shouted, pointing his finger accusingly at her, Mizore said nothing as she dug through her sweater's pocket and took out a copy of the Newspaper from this morning
"I read through your section of the paper again...it was awesome as usual" Mizore said, her blue eyes flickered as she held up the Newspaper in front of her, Naruto temporarily forgot about his situation as he stared at the paper
"Wait, you liked it?" Naruto asked as Mizore nodded
"Of course, I did, I always look forward to reading your section of the Newspaper every week" Mizore answered, the Purple-haired girl continued as she pointed to Naruto's section
"This week's paper specifically spoke out to me, your article about the idea of bridging the gap between Monsters and half breeds is something not a lot of people would write about given how taboo the subject is and the way you go about writing it...I never knew this side about you, Naruto-kun" Mizore said with a small blush
"Should I tell her Moka gave me the idea and Yukari helped me type most of it?" Naruto pondered as he let out a faint laugh
"Ha, Y-Yeah, well I just wanted to put what I felt out there, ya know, I'm glad you liked it!" Naruto nervously replied, Mizore removed her sucker and stared into his eyes
"That's what I like about you," Mizore said as she stared at him, Naruto blinked at her before grinning at her
"Thanks, I guess..." Naruto muttered, he couldn't tell what but something just felt off about her today, granted Mizore wasn't normal by any means but even still...
"Do you want to get lunch together?" She suddenly asked and Naruto shrugged, it had been a while since he really spent time with her.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"I wonder why Naruto-kun was so upset earlier" Moka mused as she and Tsukune were making their way to the campus store
"Probably had something to do with getting put in a situation he really didn't want to be in?" Tsukune mentally said as he scratched his cheek and spoke
"I am sure by the time we're at the party he'll be over it and if not I'll talk to him" Tsukune reassured her.
"I guess so...you know Tsukune-kun you could lose a bit of weight," Moka said, she playfully poked Tsukune's stomach
"H-Hey, now, where did that come from?" Tsukune said, he backed up and Moka let out a giggle
"I'm just kidding, Tsukune-kun, you know, you're really easy to tease," Moka said, Tsukune shook his head but the Human caught something out of the corner of his eye and he turned, his eyes widened at what he saw and he turned back to Moka
"Moka-chan, check this out," Tsukune said as Moka turned to him and saw him motioned towards the direction he was looking in
Naruto was there with that girl from earlier clinging on to his arm
"I've told you this before Naruto-kun, I don't like spending time with a group, people make me nervous" Mizore started
Naruto browsed through the rows and rows of Snacks for something that could catch his eye, he turned back to Mizore when she spoke again
"Ms. Nekonome...she delivered the Newspapers to me and that's how I got to learn about your work, I even made a scrapbook out of all of your papers, I even added my own notes, take a look" Mizore finished as she took out her scrapbook and handed it to Naruto
"Wow! She actually appreciates my work! Usually, everyone prefers Moka or Tsukune's section. Oh man, just wait till Ero-sennin hears about this!" Naruto eagerly thought as he opened Mizore's scrapbook, the blond suddenly looked confused at the contents, romantic arts and crafts decorated it along with some messy handwritten comments on his newspaper sections.
"Mrs...Uzumaki? He's a caring guy...Naruto knows what a woman wants...and he wants a girl who's different from the rest" Naruto gulped as he read all of this, he forced a smile for her and gave the scrapbook back to Mizore
"Mizore..." Naruto trailed off
The Purple-haired girl smiled as she inched closer to Naruto and put a finger on his lips
"Don't say a word, Naruto-kun, do you remember when you said you know what it's like to be lonely?" Mizore asked Naruto gave her a hesitant nod
"Then you would know we're like soulmates we both know the feeling of loneliness, we're destined to be," Mizore said as Tsukune and Moka were just hiding beyond a corner listening to the whole thing, Moka tugged on Tsukune's Academy suit
"I think we should leave them be for now" Moka whispered while Tsukune nodded and the two quickly scurried off to tell the others
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"So Naruto has a stalker?" Kurumu asked the Succubus carried a plate of cookies, Yukari shrugged
"That's what Moka-chan said, she's the same weird girl from this morning too" the Small witch answered and Kurumu hummed
"Well, I think it's nice Naruto got himself a girlfriend, Kami knows he could use one…I honestly thought I'd never see the day" Kurumu said with a huff, Yukari shook her head
"Stalkers are actually pretty scary though! I heard that during the beginning of the School year there was this girl who had a crush on a teacher. Naturally, he rejected her…then she froze him in ice!" Yukari spoke while Kurumu's eyes widened slightly
"In Ice? That's pretty cold!" She commented while Yukari shrugged once again
"Meh, who cares, we got way more important stuff to do right now," Yukari said as Kurumu giggled
"Like these wonderful Cookies, I made for the party! They're laced with a love potion so that when Tsukune-kun eats them, he'll be all mine!" Kurumu said with a triumphant grin
"Wow! Somehow you're even more creepy than the stalker!"
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Naruto-kun! It skipped nine times! Did you see that? Nine whole times!" Mizore exclaimed as Naruto clapped for her
the two were standing by the same pond Naruto would use for training much to the blonds pleasant surprise and if Mizore paid closer attention to her surroundings she'd notice the Kunai marks on the dead trees around here
"That's great, Mizore!" Naruto complimented with a grin
"I probably should have sent a clone to go tell the others where I am..." Naruto pondered before he saw Mizore grinning at him
"It's your turn, Naruto-kun!" she cheerfully handed him another flat pebble as Naruto gently took it
"Mizore..." Naruto started before tossing the stone across the pond, using some Chakra to send it further
"Have you been alright? we haven't really talked so much since you started ditching gym class too" Naruto asked softly, Mizore stiffened ever so slightly. She ignored his question instead, looking at the stone.
"Whoa you actually managed to hit sixteen, I counted it!" Mizore exclaimed before turning to the blond with a small blush
"Mizore..." Naruto started
"You know, I am so glad we met, Naruto-kun..." Mizore suddenly spoke up,
"I was really lonely before I met you, I don't think I could've really gone on if you didn't come into my life" She added, Naruto's eyes widened slightly as she soon tried to hug him, though the Shinobi reluctantly pulled away from her.
"R-Right, Mizore I really did enjoy spending time with you again, I know we haven't done anything like this in a while but I actually have somewhere to be so I'll catch you later" Naruto spoke but just as he started walking away, Mizore hugged him from behind
"But you can't go, Naruto-kun! It's your turn!" Mizore increased her grip on the blond
"A-Ah yeah but the party already started, I gotta go you know!" Naruto said he finally managed to get out of her hold and just as he did...
"I wouldn't recommend you go." the earlier warmness in Mizore's tone was suddenly gone as Naruto turned to her and tilted his head in confusion
"Why's that?" he said while Mizore's cold blue eyes flickered
"It might not be good for them if you did," She said, Naruto narrowed his eyes at the girl
"What are you talking about?" Naruto questioned as he felt the temperature begin to decrease, he could even see his own breath in the cold now.
"We're destined to be together, Naruto-kun, I am doing this for us, you know" Mizore spoke, her hair now shadowing her eyes as she continued to approach him ever so slightly Naruto looked down and noticed some frost beginning to form on the grass
"I'm a Yuki-onna, a snow maiden, as long as I control the Ice I won't let you leave me, so please don't make this any harder," Mizore said, the Uzumaki gave her a hardened glare now understanding her intentions
"Mizore, what did you do!?" Naruto shouted but Mizore said nothing as her purple hair turned into Ice crystals
"Please, Naruto-kun, just stay with me..." Mizore said in a monotone voice, she was only a few feet away from him until Naruto suddenly rushed her with blinding speed.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Moka sighed as she looked out the window, it was worrying her that Naruto hadn't shown up to the party yet, maybe he was still with that stalker girl?
The Vampiress was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard one of the bags being opened,
*crunch*
She turned to see Tsukune was already eating some of the Chips they had picked up.
Moka looked a bit annoyed with her Human friend
"You could have at least waited for Naruto-kun to get here…" Moka said as Tsukune gave her a half-hearted smile
"W-Well I am sure he would have wanted us to start without him, if you know he's so busy with that girl" Tsukune sheepishly defended
"Aren't you at least a little bit worried about him?" Moka asked while Tsukune paused and shook his head
"Not really, this is Naruto, he can handle himself if he really needed to, besides this girl might be good for him." Tsukune casually pointed out as the Vampiress huffed
"Do you think she's pretty?" Moka suddenly brought up causing Tsukune to nearly start choking on the chips
"W-Wha!
before Moka could repeat her question the two heard another voice
"Sorry...but I am afraid Naruto-kun won't be coming" both Tsukune and Moka turned to see Mizore simply standing there looking at them with a blank look
"Y-You're that girl that was with Naruto, what are you doing here?" Tsukune spoke up while Mizore tilted her head to look at him
"So I was right...you were following us, back there," Mizore said, the Yuki-onna quickly spoke again
"I am still with Naruto at the moment, this body is just an Ice doll, the real me is still with Naruto" she casually said, a silence briefly fell as the clone stared at the two
"I have to wonder...What is Naruto to you two?" Mizore asked, breaking the silence, Tsukune let out a nervous chuckle
"Haha, well, we're just his friends, he's...important to us" Moka answered while Tsukune nodded in agreement
"We really wouldn't be here today without him, we really owe him one" Tsukune added and Mizore's cold blue eyes turned to him
"I see...so in order to attain my heart's desire, I'll have to eliminate you guys" Mizore muttered, Tsukune subconsciously gulped and Moka looked just as nervous
Mizore's eyes shifted between Moka and Tsukune before they settled on Moka and before the two could do anything Mizore lunged at them
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Quick, Strong, and Fast like Sensei said," Naruto thought, this was going to be the first time he'd ever perform an actual takedown on someone that wasn't his shadow clone.
Mizore made a grab for Naruto only for him to take a hold of Mizore's wrist. the Yuki-onna gasped in surprise but Naruto gave her no chance to recover, using forearm and placing his leg behind hers, Naruto knocked her over and in a blink of an eye Naruto had pinned her on the ground
his forearm was pressed against Mizore's collarbone and his other arm still holding on to her wrist, Mizore struggled to get out but Naruto slightly twisted Mizore's wrist causing the Yuki-onna to winced slightly and eventually gave up trying to get out as she heard Naruto speak
"Mizore...please...you're my friend, why are you acting like this?" Naruto asked in a soft tone, Mizore stared into Naruto's eyes
"I thought we were drawn to each other because we were on our own, that we could understand each other like no one else could and we could warm each other's hearts" She spoke as Naruto shook his head and Mizore's light blue eyes started to water
"I did know what it was like to be alone but I'm not alone anymore, I have friends, Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu, and even you," Naruto said, he suddenly felt Mizore's body get colder and colder
"I...I...but they don't understand you like I do! I want you to be mine and only mine, you don't need them!" the Yuki-onna shouted before Naruto's eyes softened
"You threatened my friends, Mizore, I care about you but I also care about them just as much," Naruto said in a stern tone, The Snow maiden began sobbing lightly and before he could say anything else he felt a burning sensation on his forearm, Naruto quickly got off Mizore
"Shit! That's cold! Really Cold! it feels like it's burning!" Naruto hissed in pain as he rubbed his forearm, Mizore stood up, frozen tears were on her face.
"I trusted you, I really trusted you..." was all she muttered as she slowly backed away from him
"Mizore! Wait!" Naruto said, he tried to approach her but several Icicle spears shot out of the frosty ground and blocked his way
"Just stay away from me!" Mizore shouted, she turned and ran off into the woods
Naruto was about to send a clone to go after her until he suddenly felt Mizore's presence disappear into the woods
"Damn it" Naruto cursed, Mizore could practically hide as well as a Jounin sometimes and if she didn't want to be found, she wouldn't be found. Naruto quickly remembered he needed to get back to his friends
"I'll come back for you, Mizore" Naruto mentally vowed as he ran back in the direction of the main building
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Moka-chan!" Tsukune shouted as Mizore had the Vampiress by her throat
"Her hands...they're so c-cold," Moka thought, she looked over to Tsukune who was standing there still shaken
"What do I do?!, What do I do!?" Tsukune mentally yelled as he watched Moka struggle to break free of Mizore's Ice Claws
"T-Tsukune-kun...help me, please" Moka gasped, that was enough to break the Human out of his panicked state, Tsukune charged straight at the Yuki-onna
Maybe it was stupidity or bravery, Tsukune really didn't know but Moka was in danger and that was enough for him
Tsukune slammed straight into the Ice Clone, Moka fell on the floor as Mizore's clone took the hit
*Thud*
Tsukune hit the floor, breathing heavily as he looked at the chunks of the Clone's body, though most of it broke into shards of Ice on the floor, holding his bruised shoulder, Tsukune picked himself up and ran over to the Coughing Vampiress Moka.
"Moka-chan!" he shouted as he extended his hand to help her up
"T-Thank you, Tsukune-kun, I'm fine...are you okay?" Moka asked, Tsukune nodded but before he could say anything else
Naruto suddenly bolted through the door and let out a sigh of relief once his eyes fell on Tsukune and Moka.
"You two are okay...Cool, where's Yukari and Kurumu?" Naruto asked as he soon took notice of the mess in the Classroom
"And...what happened here?" Naruto asked, Moka took Tsukune's hand and stumbled slightly as she got on her feet
"They haven't shown up yet...that...girl came here, the one from this morning and...started going on about how she needed to get rid of us in order to attain her heart's desire, she attacked me and Tsukune saved me" Moka explained as she rubbed her neck, Naruto let out a sigh of relief
"I'm glad you two are alright" Naruto started
"And I'm sorry you guys had to go through that" Naruto finished, Tsukune turned to him, he saw the apologetic look on Naruto's face and grew more concerned
"How do you know her anyway?" Tsukune asked while Naruto sighed
"in the homeroom...during the first day here… she sits behind me! but she'd almost never show up to Ms. Nekonome's class after that...the only other time I'd see her around would be in Kotsubo-sensei's class but even then…" Naruto trailed off as he clenched his fists, recalling his time spent with the Yuki-onna before all of this
"She was never like this before...Mizore's my friend and I don't know what started this but I promise I'll get to the bottom of it" Naruto spoke before running out of the Classroom.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
The Full moon shined on the Academy grounds as two male students were packing up their things and exiting the Locker Rooms
"So you really think she's into you?" the Student asked his friend while he simply shrugged
"Maybe? It's hard to tell with the way she acts, one minute she wants me there the next she says she needs some space...girls are weird" the other answered
"You said it, anyway, we should hurry ba-" the Student stopped mid-sentence as he heard something strange
"Hey, dude, do you hear that?" he said as the other Student fell silent, he listened in and soon heard someone crying in the distance
"He...he actually hates me, Naruto rejected me and I ruined our friendship..." the two teens looked over to see Mizore crouched down and sobbing
"Oi! Are you okay? Do you need help?" One of the students called out, Mizore slowly turned her head in their direction
"Dude, she's pretty cute," the other student said as the two got closer
Suddenly, a crazed look appeared on Mizore's face as she looked at the boys
"Shut up! You don't know anything!" Yuki-onna yelled, she entombed them in ice, Mizore crouched once again and continued sobbing
"Naruto...why?"
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Mizore? You want me to visit her?" Naruto asked as Ms. Nekonome nodded
"I heard from a few students you were seen talking to her yesterday, she never really shows up to class and if she doesn't start showing up soon, the other teachers are going to start dropping her from their classes." She said in a sad tone before writing a note and passing it to Naruto
The Shinobi actually spent most of the night looking for her with his clones but had no luck, worse was he still had a curfew with his training.
"This is her room number...Naruto I know I ask for a lot of favors b-"
"She's my friend, Sensei, it's fine, I've been meaning to talk to her myself too, this is just the chance" Naruto interrupted her as the Homeroom teacher gave him a smile, she was glad to have a student like Naruto around
"If you don't find her in the dorms, she's more than likely at the cliffs, gazing into the ocean, she's a really strange girl..." Ms. Nekonome said but before Naruto could respond another voice cut in
"May I speak with you, Shizuka? It's about Mizore Shirayuki"
Both Naruto and Ms. Nekonome perked up and turned to see the Gym teacher walking into the Classroom
"Oh! Okuto Kotsubo, do you know what's wrong with Shirayuki-San?" She asked
"You haven't heard? Something is quite wrong...last night Shirayuki attacked two of my boys from the football team, she left them near death, they're gravely wounded, not only that, she froze them in ice! If they had been found even moments later, they would both be dead as it stands, they're in critical condition and haven't woken up" Mr. Kotsubo said as Naruto stiffened when he heard this and simply stared at Mr. Kotsubo
"This is the second time that Ms. Shirayuki's behavior has led to such consequences, in addition, I am sure you know about She's chronically truant, I believe she's becoming a problem student and the School doesn't have the resources to handle her so I say our only option is to expel her" He stated, Naruto opened his mouth to protest until another voice called out to him
"Yo! Naruto! Get over here!" The blond saw Gin by the door motioning for Naruto to come to him, the blond took one last look at Ms. Nekonome and Mr. Kotsubo arguing before walking out of the classroom.
"What's up, Senpai?" Naruto asked if the Uzumaki saw something he normally didn't see, a serious look on Gin's face.
"Glad, I caught you, I want to warn you about Kotsubo-sensei," Gin said as Naruto raised an eyebrow
"What do you mean?" he questioned while Gin looked over his shoulder for a second before turning back to his underclassmen
"Kotsubo-sensei has been known to prey on ladies...in a more sinister way if they don't suit him or try to push him away they get hounded, he actually got another student expelled last year because she finally cut him off" Gin explained before taking a deep breath
"Look, I am a pervert, I'll fully admit my flaws especially during a full moon I got problems to sort out with my instincts, man…" the Werewolf rubbed the back of his neck, he looked back at the door, making sure he wasn't overheard.
"But Kotsubo-sensei is just something else, dude, not all teachers are as nice as Ms. Nekonome. I don't know what you got yourself into but tread lightly around him, alright?" Gin gave the blond a small grin as he lightly tapped Naruto's shoulder
"Oh and make sure you get a story out of this, if you can" Gin finished, the Upperclassman began to walk away as Naruto watched Gin disappear into a crowd of students.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"She almost killed two students?!" Kurumu shouted as Moka and Tsukune nodded, the four now sat together in their Clubroom with two members missing, their Club leader and a blond Uzumaki
"Yes, they're even talking about how they might expel her," Moka said, Kurumu shook her head
"No way...but why the hell would she do a thing like that?" Kurumu questioned, Yukari shrugged
"Isn't it obvious? It's because her heart is broken! Nii-san dumped her and She lashed out, plain and simple, girls like that always do" Yukari answered and Tsukune sighed
"Apparently Naruto is going to visit her, maybe talk some sense into her…" Tsukune stated while Yukari glanced at him with a worried look on her face
"Nii-san is going alone? and we're just gonna let him?" The Small Witch brought up and Moka could only shrug at her
"Well, I heard that Naruto-kun was the one person she'd really talk to…I guess it makes sense that Ms. Nekonome would send him alone to talk to her," Moka said, Kurumu smirked at the small Witch
"Relax, Washboard, if anyone can talk some sense into that girl, it's Naruto" Kurumu taunted
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"One hundred and four...one hundred and five, annnd there it is!" Naruto thought as stood outside Mizore's door
Knock*
Knock*
"..."
"..."
"I guess she isn't here...oh right, Ms. Nekonome said she could also be at the cliffs," Naruto mused but just as he was about to head out, he heard a muffled voice
"Who is it?" the blond spun around
"Mizore? It's Naruto, I just wanted to talk to you"
"..."
"Go away." She softly spoke
"No" Naruto shot back as he folded his arms and closed his eyes
"I came here to help you and I'm going to do just that" Naruto added
"Help me? I don't need help..." Came her muffled voice
"Look, please Mizore, we've been friends since the beginning of the School year, I don't believe what they said that you attacked those two students last night for no reason," Naruto started
another pause set in until the Uzumaki heard the door creak open, The Yuki-onna peaked through her door and slowly stepped outside
"The Teachers are talking about expelling you," he said as Mizore froze when she heard that
"Expelling me?" she said in disbelief, the purple-haired teen looked down at her as her hair cast a shadow over her eyes
"Y-yeah but you didn't do it on purpose did you? I just know you aren't like that, so I'm thinking that we could just apologize and then talk to the headmast-"
"Apologize? Why should I? It wasn't me" she abruptly said, now glaring at him, it softened ever so slightly as she stepped out.
"Yeah I froze those guys yesterday but that's just because I was pissed, you know? As soon as I realized what I did I melted the Ice. They were both totally fine when I left, maybe a little freaked out...but still" Mizore explained, folding her arms as Naruto's eyes widened, she scanned the blond in front of her with a calculating gaze
"That's not what...Kotsubo-sensei said…" Naruto thought before he recalled Gin's words, the Shinobi was slowly trying to piece together what he had just learned when he heard Mizore scoff at him
"...Why do you look so surprised? Do you really think I'm that kind of girl? Someone who would beat up innocent bystanders?" Mizore questioned,
Mizore's glare softened as she half expected Naruto to deny her accusation but the Shinobi was too lost in her thoughts to even answer her question.
A dull pain hit the Yuki-onna's heart, her as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm disappointed in you, Naruto, I really thought my only friend would understand me but it looks like I really am all alone again" She muttered with tears in her eyes before a sudden snowstorm appeared and Mizore simply vanished leaving a now stunned and shivering Naruto alone
"No, wait! Mizore! " Naruto shouted but once the storm cleared but she was long gone
"The Cliffs…" Naruto realized as he ran into the woods and started jumping through the tree lines
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Mizore stood on the edge of the cliff as she stared off into the distance, it was an odd-looking place, the cliff was stretched out over the water and curled back like a swirl but Mizore just loved being here to get away from it all.
"You never change, Shirayuki, whenever you're depressed I know this is where you go," Mizore stiffened in fear as she heard the familiar voice
"K-Kotsubo-sensei?!" Mizore shouted in surprise as the Gym teacher grabbed her shoulders
"Careful now...watch your step, Shirayuki, the winds are strong here and a melancholy girl out here, all alone... she might just take a misstep and fall right off the Cliff, no one would even ask questions or even care," He said with a sadistic smirk
Mizore started to struggle to get out of his grip, not far from them, Naruto stumbled through the Treelines and managed to silently crash land himself against the base of a dead tree, he leaned upon it and looked on at the scene
he gritted his teeth as he saw this from the tree lines, Gin was right, this was the real Kotsubo, to his shock though, just as he was going to move, Mizore actually pushed the Gym teacher off her and the man slipped off the cliff but as Mizore tried to get on her feet a tentacle appeared and wrapped itself. around her ankle
"Shirayuki...do you realize what you just tried to do? you tried to push me off this cliff! I'd be dead if I weren't me, here I was just going to scare you a little and now I have to drag you down into the depths with me!" Kotubso said Mizore screamed when she saw a glimpse of his true form, Mizore tried to grab on to anything to prevent herself from being dragged away but it was hopeless as another tentacle gripped her other leg and began to pull her down.
Just as She neared the edge, Naruto suddenly appeared in a blur, with a sword in his right hand, he was impaling the tentacles that were dragging Mizore away
"Naruto..." Mizore whispered in shock, the Uzumaki stepped on the limb and pulled out his blade before slicing it
"Phew, just in time too," Naruto huffed out as Mizore snapped out of her shock and unwrapped the limb off her leg
"Gah! What the hell was that?! it fucking hurt! you'll pay for that you little bitch!" Kotubso hissed out Naruto suddenly took Mizore's hand and lead her closer to the treeline, the Shinobi's eyes widened when he saw his true form, Kotubso looked like a huge black octopus coming out of the back of his head with emotionless golden eyes and it's tentacles waved in the air
"What...are you?" Naruto asked in shock
"I'm a Kraken, a creature of the sea, You two will make for some good fish food," Kotubso said as he inched closer to the two students
"Uzumaki, I don't understand why you're getting involved in this, Shirayuki is only getting what she deserves, she tried to freeze me once, she attacked two students and now she tried to kill me by throwing me off this Cliff, She's not getting away with this." Kotubso continued, Mizore's eyes began to water
"I had to protect myself back then! You were trying to...to" the Yuki-onna tried to get the words, she hugged her shoulders as the memory of what the teacher did flash in her mind
"You said you loved me, didn't you? Then you shouldn't complain about what I tried to do to you, I was just going to have some fun...but then you had to go all prudish on me" the Gym teacher taunted as he turned over to the slightly concerned Shinobi, he stole a glance at her then the Kraken.
"It's a real shame you got caught up in this, Uzumaki, you were a good student unlike Shirayuki here, unfortunately, I can't have you spreading rumors about me." Kotubso finished as he put on a sinister smirk, Naruto put on a frown, if he was pissed he was doing a great job of hiding it.
"You were taking advantage of her feelings but she denied you so to expel her you were trying to frame her by hurting your own students and pinning the blame on her" Naruto said in a low voice, Kotubso chuckled at this and Mizore flinched
"It took a while for someone to figure it out...doesn't matter, I'll get rid of you right now and just tell them Mizore killed you when I get back," the Kraken said as he brought down one of his tentacles on Naruto, the Shinobi dodged it easy
"Don't go overboard, Don't go overboard, Don't go overboard" Naruto mentally repeated as he started to pour Chakra into the blade, the Shinobi saw a light blue aura around the sword and looked back at the tentacle
Naruto spun his blade in his other hand before using all of his force to stab through the tentacle and into the ground,
the Shinobi knew his weapon was sharp enough to pierce the limb but the hard ground was something else, thankfully for Naruto, he pumped just enough Wind Chakra that the blade was able to stab the ground as well, essentially pinning the tentacle to the ground
"Aack! Uzumaki I am going to take pleasure in squeezing the life out of you!" the Kraken roared as another tentacle tried to slam into the Shinobi and Yuki-onna
Naruto grabbed Mizore and threw her onto the ground just in time to dodge the tentacle as he got on his feet, the Shinobi made a hand seal
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"
*poof*
Ten battle-ready clones appeared, surprising Mizore and Kotubso, two of them held down the hilt of the blade as Kotubso attempted to remove the blade from his limb, the rest simply charged at the Gym teacher, the real Naruto grabbed the surprised Mizore and shook her to snap her out of it.
"Mizore, I have a plan but I need your help" Naruto said while the Yuki-onna nodded
"Y-Yeah?" She stuttered out, still stunned at what was happening. Naruto glanced at his clones distracting Kotubso before turning back to Mizore
"I need you to get close enough so that you can freeze him until he can't move, Can you do that?" Mizore nodded and Naruto gave her a thumbs up.
"Great! I'll be right behind you, I promise," Naruto said, before running back to his clones
"Damn, they're just like Cockroaches and just like Cockroaches they need to be stomped out..." the Kraken said as a tentacle slammed into one of the clones holding down the hilt of Naruto's sword
"Shit! Boss, watch out!" it called out before the second clone was hit by another tentacle, in a poof of smoke two of the clones were gone
Kotubso freed his limb and Naruto's sword flew in the air before touching the ground some distance away, one of the other clones quickly ran over to pick up it as the Gym teacher eyed the blade
"I hope you know it's illegal to have weapons like this on School grounds, Uzumaki," Kotubso said, the Real Naruto grabbed his sword from the clone
"I'm going to make you pay for what you did" Naruto growled as he started pumping Chakra into his blade while Kotubso sneered
"Is that so?" he mocked, from the corner of Naruto's eye, he saw Mizore slowly sneak up on the Kraken, the tentacle lunged at the real Naruto but the Shinobi simply sidestepped and cut the limb clean off
"AH! You bastard, that's the Third one today! Do you have any idea just how long it's going to take for me to grow those back?!" The Kraken cursed just as Kotubso lifted another tentacle but was soon stopped as a glacier began to form from under him
"What the hell?" Kotubso said, turning around he saw Mizore was the source
The Gym teacher stumbled before Ice overtook most of his tentacles and upper body, he was immobilized but his human head was still perfectly exposed, Mizore panted heavily as she looked at her handiwork and gave a thumbs up, Naruto grinned when he saw this
The Uzumaki dropped his sword and opened his palm, a Rasengan formed on his hand, one of Naruto's clones ran over to him and began swirling his hands around the Chakra ball, little by little, its size increased until it was the size of a boulder
Mizore's eyes sparkled as she looked at the Rasengan, she had never seen anything like it
The way the Sunset's light complemented it's blue, swirling beauty but the way Naruto was holding it clearly told her it was dangerous.
Kotubso was now shaking in fear and attempted to worm his way out of the ice prison until Naruto suddenly dashed forward
"Ōdama Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he slammed the Rasengan into Kotubso, the Ice covering his human-like body completely shattered under its pressure and the Chakra orb soon dug into Kotubso's flesh, The Kraken let out a wail from the pain before being sent back flying into the distant Ocean with a small splash.
Mizore watched all of this in complete shock as Naruto's clones one by one disappeared and only she and Naruto stood there.
"N-Naruto that...was" Mizore struggled to get her words out as Naruto smiled at her expression and
"Awesome? Cool? Amazing? Unreal?" Naruto listed off before Mizore composed herself
"Just what kind of monster are you? I didn't even see you transform" Mizore asked and Naruto's smile fell slightly.
"I'll tell you about it some other time, first, we should get back to the School and report what happened," Naruto said as Mizore stiffened and refused to move.
"But..They're going to expel me..." she brought up while Naruto shook his head and grabbed her hand
"After what happened with that bastard? I doubt it, if anything happens, I'll talk to the headmaster directly about it, now come on!" Naruto started walking in the direction of the School, Mizore was hesitant to follow him
"I...I don't know if that's a good idea, I mean what's the point? no one will believe me and you shouldn't have gotten involved in this, Naruto, now they might expel you too..." as soon as those words left her mouth Naruto spun around and walked straight towards her
"Mizore, you're my friend, if I had known what was going on, I would've done something sooner. You won't get expelled, I'll talk with the old man and I'm sure Nekonome-sensei will too!" Naruto argued, Mizore was taken aback that Naruto still considered her a friend and she only shook her head.
"Naruto, I tried to hurt you and your friends, how can you even forgive me and help me?" She asked as the blond only sighed and turned back to her
"Oi, this isn't the first time that this happened, Kurumu tried to get rid of Moka once...besides, you didn't actually kill Moka or Tsukune and I'm sure once we clear this all up, things can go back to normal, you won't be alone anymore though…I promise" Naruto replied as Mizore sniffed for a second before rushing Naruto and pulling the surprised blond into a hug, a couple of stray tears fell down her face as she finally let it all go.
"Thank you, Naruto, Thank you so much"
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Within the next few days, things seemed to have died down once more, it was hard for Naruto to prove Mizore's innocence, the other teachers had almost seemed to be completely against her aside from Ms. Nekonome even with Naruto's testimony and the Newspaper Club supporting him, it had seemed like Mizore was still going to be expelled.
That was until the Students, that Mizore had frozen, finally woke up, they outright stated that while Mizore had frozen them, she had unfrozen them right and apologized before leaving then they said they were attacked by Mr. Kotsubo and beaten until they were near death.
The final nail to the coffin was Gin getting a hold of Kotsubo's personal journal and exposing him for falsely getting another student expelled last year after she had rejected him, and with that Kotsubo was kicked out of Yokai and forbidden to ever return under the threat of death.
But Mizore didn't get off scot-free, the Yuki-onna had to attend all of her classes and join a club from this day forward by a contract she had signed, so Naruto offered she'd join the Newspaper Club to which Mizore happily accepted. little by little, she didn't find herself so alone anymore.
Now Naruto was once again enjoying his little routine which was him eating his lunch and watching Tsukune get torn apart by Kurumu and Moka in this order.
First, Tsukune and Moka would have their little moment together until she bit him
"Gack! Moka-chan that's enough! you're sucking me dry!" Tsukune shouted
Then, Kurumu would get involved
"Get off my man, you bloodsucker!" Kurumu said as she pulled Moka off him
Next, Yukari would step in
"Hey! Cow-tits, get your hands off Moka-chan!" Yukari yelled, Kurumu let go of Moka and turned to meet the Young Girl's gaze
Finally, the two will go back and forth for the rest of the break
"This again? You're just jealous you'll never get a chest like mine" Kurumu shot back while puffing out her breasts
Naruto shook his head at the scene in front of him, the same thing every damn day, it was getting a little dull.
A Shiver suddenly went down Naruto's spine as he peeked behind his shoulder. Not too far from where he was sitting, Naruto saw a mop of light purple hair through the bushes.
"Mizore, you don't have to hide over there, you can join me," Naruto said as Mizore stood up from the bushes and walked right over to him, she sat down on the lunch bench
"S-Sorry..." She twirled her hair as if expecting the blond to say something but Naruto went back to his food
"Do you...notice anything different?" Mizore finally asked while Naruto took a sip from his water bottle, Naruto hummed as his eyes scanned over Mizore's upper body, then it finally hit him.
"Oh! You cut your hair" Naruto said, Mizore blinked
"Yeah...I really wanted to try something new, what do you think?" Mizore asked as Naruto gave a bright grin
"I think it looks nice." he complimented, Mizore blushed lightly before returning his smile
"Thank you, Naruto-kun," Mizore said, in the distance, Yukari and Kurumu stopped fighting for just a second to notice Mizore's presence
"How come she's always hiding and never just normally hangs out with us? She always just watches Naruto from a distance, sometimes" Kurumu questioned, Yukari shook her head
"Well, Nii-san said she's a Yuki-onna, a snow woman, I heard they're typically really shy and prefer to stalk their object of affection from a distance rather than speaking to them face to face" Yukari answered while Kurumu turned over to her
"Object of affection? Does that mean Naruto is…" Kurumu trailed off as the small witch nodded
"Yep, Nii-san is still her Object of affection," Yukari said with a small grin while Kurumu also smiled, thankful she only had to worry about Moka for competition.
Things were gonna get interesting for the Newspaper Club
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
End
Wow, lads, that was longer than the last Chapter and in a shorter time, now really quick, I followed the Manga to the bone for the most part with some minor changes, I tried to extend Naruto's fight a bit more but hell even in the Manga they end quickly, in the early parts of RV at least, I feel like I might have rushed it just a bit, I hope I did it justice
Anyway, I hope I made it clear that Mizore has a thing for Naruto but as of now it's not mutual and is one-sided, they are not in a relationship, but expect that to change in the future, I hope It didn't seem like I pushed them together or anything that's just how the source material was
On Tsukune, really quick, I did put Naruto in Tsukune's Canon position but I have plans for Tsukune to be his own thing just like in the Manga with Naruto there to support the guy, the tone of this fic is slightly more light-hearted for now at least
The Next Chapter is actually going to be interesting
ps, I double-checked everything but I'm not perfect so here's a reminder to call me out if I mess up hopefully I still get a beta soon...ish.
