Naruto's POV

We are on our way to Royal Academy while on the train Endou decides to give a speech and asks coach Hibiki for a speech to pump us up which he does by telling us that all we should do is play with our heart's content and we should be fine, which made us happy that our new coach believed in us. Haruna then asks where Natsumi was which Kino told us that she didn't like trains so she took her car, not missing the opportunity I turned and looked at Endou and said "Hey Endou why are you here with us, you could have been with Natsumi and enjoyed a romantic ride with her'' which made Endou look at the floor with a blush on his face as we laughed at him making the mood lighter and taking away some of the nerves that people had.

When we arrived we apologized to Natsumi hoping she's not too mad at Endou for missing out on a car ride with her which got her to blush and threatened to kick us off the team, when we were inside the building coach Hibiki told us to be careful because if they were prepared to tamper with the bus then they could do other things before the game which put us on high alert. When we got to our locker room we came face to face with Kidou, this took everyone by surprise but after we checked if there was anything there. After finding nothing out of the ordinary we got changed and went out onto the pitch for some practice but Endou was somewhat out of it, Thinking it was just nerves I continued to practice. At some point doing practise we heard Shishido scream, rushing over we saw that some bolts landed next to him which confused us but looking up we couldn't see anything above us and assumed maintenance was taking place before the game and decided that it was an accident and would be resolved soon.

No one's POV

Both teams lined up for the game and were waiting for the game to start but Raimon decided to stand near their goal because of Endou's instructions. When Royal kicked off we heard a loud sound before steel beams came crashing down onto the field as a dust cloud covered the Raimon players, everyone was shocked at what had occurred and the managers on Raimons side were trying to hold in their tears but when the dust cleared all the Raimon players were okay but shocked out of their minds. Both teams went to confront Royal's commander Kageyama Reiji who just smiled after being taken away. Kidou turned to us and apologised for what had happened and said they are prepared to forfeit the game but Endou told them that it didn't matter and today is about football and nothing else, so we went back out to the pitch and got ready to play.

Raimon started the game off with Gouenji running towards the goal before passing the ball to Someoka and jumping over Royal's defenders, Someoka quickly set up Dragon Tornado which was looking like it was about to go in before Genda used his Power Shield to block the ball from going in.

Kidou then took the ball and dribbled the ball past the Raimon players before passing the ball to Jimon who used his Hyakuretsu Shot which went straight to Endou which everyone thought he would save it but he knocked it out for a corner. Royal took a quick corner and Sakuma was able to get a header onto it but it was straight and Endou, who fumbled the ball and quickly drove on the ball before trying to pass it to Naruto before Kidou intercepted it and got past Kabeyama and was free to shot before Gouenji was able to put in a tackle right as Kidou shot which hurt Kidou before having the ball put out of play so Kidou could recover.

The game continued with Raimon getting two quick shots off but thanks to Genda's excellent goalkeeping abilities he was able to save it and pass the ball forward to Kidou who used a new hissatsu technique with Jimon and Sakuma. Kidou whistled and penguins shot up out of the floor and proceeded to kick the ball towards Jimon and Sakuma who volleyed the ball towards Endou(Koutie Penguin number 2). Endou used God Hand to stop it but with the penguins anding extra pushing power they were able to score and bring the game into halftime.

0-1 (Raimon is always first, Raimon-other team)

Naruto's POV

During halftime, we all looked towards Endou to find out what was bothering him so much but he didn't want to answer. Natsumi came over and told Endou to get into the game which he just had his head down and refused to answer, I sighed and slapped him on the back and told him "Endou it's either you get your head in the game or you will be taken off, it's up to you to decide which one that would be'' before walking back onto the field.

No one's POV

The game resumed with Kidou dribbling past before passing to Jimon who took a shot which was stopped by Kazumaru then by the other defenders and Naruto but they kept being rebounded to Royal's players before they used Death Zone which Domon took to the face and putting the ball out for a Royal corner but ended up taken a knock. While Domon was being taken off the pitch Gouenji used Fire Tornado on Endou before knocking some sense into him. Royal took the corner which went to Kidou who sent the ball upwards to Sakuma who headed it back down to him for Twin Boost, when the ball reached Endou he just started to punch the ball in quick succession(Bakuretsu Punch) and sending the ball towards Handa who sent it towards Someoka who used Dragon Crash and as expected Ganda used Power Shield to block it but as it went up Gouenji used Fire Tornado at a close range so that neglect the shockwaves created from the move, scoring a goal.

1-1

The game continued with neither side giving up, in the closing minutes Kidou, Jimon and Sakuma used Koutie Penguin Number 2 which Endou managed to stop with God Hand before giving it to Kazemaru who used Shippu Dash then giving it to Shourinji who used Tatsumaki Senpuu and giving it to Handa who launched it forwards to Gouenji and Kabeyama who were prepared to do the Inazuma Otoshi before Endou ran towards them and joined Gouenji in the air before both of them did an overhead kick (Inazuma 1 Otoshi), Genda seeing this used Full Power Shield but he was unable to stop it as the ball went sailing in and ending the game 2-1 in Raimon's favour.

The Raimon players surrounded Endou and celebrated with him, after the celebration Endou apologized for what happened at the start of the game which we accepted.

Naruto's Pov

Coach Hibiki was nice enough to let us celebrate at his Ramen shop which made me smile brightly just thinking about all the ramen I could eat, we started to eat but some people were put off by the number of bowls of ramen I had stacked, after my 13th bowl Coach Hibiki had cut me off which made be crawl up into a ball in the corner thinking about the ramen which gave my teammates a laugh. Natsumi explained that to play Royal in the Nation tournament is in the final. Kino asked Natsumi how she knew about that, to which she responded by informing us that she studied the rules. Coach Hibiki asked Natsumi to give a speech to the team about using our full power to win the nationals.

The next day we had an exhibition game against the legendary Inazuma Eleven, which started poorly as they didn't seem to care about the game until coach Hibiki got them together and their demeanor changed and it was starting to get a little bit more challenging before they used Honoo no Kazamidori(two players kick the ball up, one of them does an overhead kick while the other one kicks it form above) before I managed to stop it with Chain Lock before kicking the ball out because Endou wanted to take a time out which was accepted by the referee. Endou explained the move to us which Kazumaru and Gouenji tried to do but kept failing but with the help from Kageno who explained the move to the two after seeing it again which allowed them to get the move down perfectly.

Timeskip 3 days before Nationals

We were practising on the school field when the chairman came to greet us which shocked everyone, we lined up and waited for him to speak which he told us that they were expecting good things from us which got everyone excited. Endou asked if he believed in us which he agreed, seeing this, I couldn't miss the opportunity and said "Look Endou your girlfriend's dad believes in you, you better not let him down or there is no chance to marry his daughter" which got everyone to laugh expect Endou and Natsumi who blushed and the chairman not knowing about this looked at Natsumi and asked if it was true which made her blush more and deny it. The chairman then took us to the clubroom and with the help of coach Hibiki showed us the graffiti that the Inazuma eleven did forty years ago and told us that he was going to give us a new clubroom but Endou refused and said that this was where the first Inazuma eleven used so we should stick to our roots before we went back to practice while the other students cheered us on. But during practice Kazumaru and Gouenji couldn't get the Honno no Kazamidori down again which confused us but we let it go for now thinking it would get better before the game.

The next day in the clubroom everyone was discussing the rumour that Kazumaru was going to go back to the track club and leave, which Endou confirmed that it was a choice that Kazumaru had to make before Natsumi got a call saying that her father was in an accident which me, Endou, Kino and Natsumi went down to the hospital to see him. Hearing about the accident made me think about my past and how I lost both my parents before walking up to Natsumi and putting my hand on her shoulder and telling her "Stay here and watch over him we will go and win every game in the tournament for him", she looked up at me and Endou who nodded and agreed with what I was saying before wiping some tears out of her eyes and nodding wishing us luck. We got back to the team and explained what happened before heading to the national stadium. Everyone was excited and wanted nothing more but to make the chairman proud by winning the tournament.

When we arrived at the stadium we got dressed and lined up and walked out to face the crowd where we saw the other teams before going back to the Raimon and found out our opponent was Shuriken Junior high.

Before the game, we got ready before Kino got a text from Natsumi which told us that she was sorry for not showing up and that she ordered us to win, which made us sigh knowing that she would do something like this before Endou told us that we had to win which got us excited.

No one's POV

The game started with Shuriken's kick-off, they started by going on a quick offence and taking a quick shot which was easily saved by Endou before handing the ball off as Handa and Gouenji who were caught of guard by one of the techniques from Shuriken junior which stopped Raimon's attack. Soon it became a back-and-forth between the two schools with Shuriken stopping Raimon from using their big moves before Shuriken junior was able to score a goal with Endou landing badly on his hand. The game continued for a bit before Endou caught the ball as the half-time whistle goes off

Naruto's POV

During Half-time Endou had to put an icepack on his swollen hand, We all said that we would look after him doing the game I told Kazumaru to switch positions with me so that I could cover the goal for Endou while he helps with the attacks which coach Hibiki agreed and told Kazumaru he should be ready because as soon as we stop the ball it is up to him to bring the ball forward so we could score. This made Kazumaru nod in determination and lit a fire under his eyes as we all surrounded him and told him that we believed he could do it.

No one's POV

The game started with Raimon pushing forward and making quick passes to try to get a shot off but was again unlucky as the Shuriken's goalkeeper was able to make the save. The Shuriken's goalkeeper quickly launched the ball up the field towards their attackers before the rest of the team joined them, they were able to take some shots before it was stopped before it could reach Endou sometime later during the match their ace striker was able to take a shot before it was stopped by Kabeyama who created a solid wall (The Wall) before getting the rebound and using his hissatsu technique Dirt Ball(The ball gets surrounded by mud before breaking apart) but it was stopped by Naruto's Chain Lock. Naruto then passed the ball to Kazumaru, who was able to use his speed to get past the shuriken defenders and did the Honoo no Kazamidori with Gouenji to bring the score level.

1-1

After scoring the goal lit a fire under every Raimon players eyes and made each of them play with such determination that it blindsided the Shuriken players that they slipt up which allowed Kazumaru to intercept the ball before sprinting faster than anyone to get a chance at goal before scoring a goal and winning it for Raimon who celebrated by giving a thumbs up to Miyasaka who was watching in the crowd.

2-1

Naruto's POV

After the game, we went back to Raimon to do some light practise thinking about our next opponents which Haruna said she would get for us which we were thankful for before heading home. Once I got home I got ready for bed feeling excited about the upcoming game.


AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the next chapter would consist of the game against Farmwood Junior and Kirkwood Junior and Endou doing training on Majin the Hand while the final chapter for season 1 is the introduction to Zeus Junior and the game against them. I am always up for suggestions on names for hissatsu techniques and who you want to see do one, for example, Gouenji and Naruto or Kabeyama and Fudou.
