Almost a Month had gone by since Kurumu had joined their little group and things had fallen back into a routine for Naruto

Wake up and get dressed, watch Kurumu and Moka fight over Tsukune again, endure the hell that is Algebra, if Mizore actually shows up to class, spend some time with her, go to the Library with Moka and Tsukune while they try to show him stuff in the human world, sleep for seven hours, wake up, train with Yūgao, and repeat.

Yūgao wouldn't be home yet since whatever job the headmaster decided to give her actually kept her in the School after hours, so for now Naruto was alone.

It was getting somewhat boring for the Shinobi but now at least something interesting had finally happened, Jiraiya's gift had arrived in the form of a scroll, the Shinobi channeled some Chakra into the Scroll and to his surprise, when a single book appeared in a puff of smoke, along with a cardboard box labeled "Weapons", another box labeled "Surprise!" and finally a small note attached to one of the books

Naruto decided to start with the note before moving on with the other things

"Alright brat, let me start by saying most of this stuff is for training, I had to pull in some favors to get this stuff for you so I hope you appreciate that, the blue book is about Wind chakra control most of it was written by Asuma Sarutobi and myself, it should be extremely helpful for that Rasengan Variant you're working on...kid, I never said this, but if you actually finish this Jutsu, you would very much surpass me and maybe even surpassed for the Fourth Hokage, adding an element Nature to the Rasengan was always the endgame for him and I but we could never get it right...anyway, the Weapons box is just resupplying you and Yūgao with Kunais and explosive tags and anything else really, interestingly enough Yūgao was great with logistics and knows a little bit about Fuinjutsu, I mean kid, she's nowhere near on my level but I just thought it was something interesting…the last box is stuff from Konoha, they're gifts from Tsunade and myself and I think you'll appreciate the rest of the books I left there with you, see you soon kid - Jiraiya"

"Fundamentals of Wind Chakra" Naruto read out before slipping the book into his school bag, he'd make sure to read it any chance he got, he remembered the time, he and Jiraiya were on the outskirts of Fire country when Jiraiya finally decided to check what element Naruto had.

To the Old Toad sage's surprise it was wind but Jiraiya, unfortunately, didn't have any Wind Jutsus he could teach aside from the stuff the Toads could cobble together for him and even those were just very basic Chakra control exercises, not actual Jutsus, thankfully for Naruto, there was one more note.

"Once you're done with that book, I'll start sending over those Scrolls, and don't try to cheat! I know you hate learning by the book but trust me, just get through this and you can start actually learning a Wind Jutsu, learning Elemental Jutsus without having the proper Chakra control could lead to a lot of accidents and Tsunade would hop on the seal just to send you flying through six walls so do not cheat!" - Jiraiya

Naruto shuddered at the thought of facing an Angry Senju woman's wrath before he let out a sigh, that was true, he did hate learning by the book but at least this stuff was way more interesting than the stuff the Academy had given him so it was a welcomed change

The blond moved to open the Surprise box, he made sure to keep his curiosity in check and leave the Weapons box for Yūgao, the first thing Naruto found were some new clothes and a note

"I paid Mikogami some damn good money to make sure he got you new casual clothes" - Jiraiya

Naruto looked over the four outfits and only one actually caught his eyes, he picked up the one and looked over it, they had orange in them! A new orange and black jumpsuit that reminded him of the one he had left back in Konoha, except it wasn't too much of an eyesore and it was actually great! There was also a plain black headband that went along with it and to Naruto's surprise there was an orange Konoha symbol in the middle

The Shinobi put away his new clothes in a separate pile away from his Academy Uniforms, if he got the chance to get out of that boring Academy Uniform and swap it out for his new outfit, he'd do it, Naruto soon checked the next gift from Tsunade and he paled.

It was a Necklace...his Necklace, the one he had won off a bet with Tsunade, the one that was said to belong to the First Hokage and had the ability to buy three mountains of gold, Naruto scrambled to read the note attached to it

"You left this back in Konoha, you ungrateful brat, you do know how precious this is to me right? In any case, take better care of it or so help me I'll put you through the meat grinder hell that is D-rank missions" - Tsunade

A cold shiver ran up Naruto's spine as he placed the necklace on a desk, he couldn't believe he had forgotten something so important but at least it was in his hands now, the young Uzumaki checked his next gift it was another one from Tsunade and it was...a flag with a red swirl.

Naruto obviously knew this was the red swirl that most Jonins and Chunins would have on their flak jackets but he still decided to read the small note that came with it

"You'll know what this actually is when the time is right, you know I personally paid for that mission to retrieve it, you better take good care of it brat, it was hard to get my hands on the original ones" - Tsunade

The blond Shinobi was a bit confused at what the note said but whatever it represented, Naruto liked it since it reminded him of Konoha. He put it away, thinking about where in his dorm he could put this in.

Naruto looked at the last box from Jiraiya as he undid the packaging, he started at the contents for several seconds before a tick mark appeared on his head and read the note attached

"Make me proud out there kid!"

"Why didn't I expect anything less from that Pervert," Naruto thought as he looked at a small box of condoms and a set of Jiraiya's greatest works, the Icha Icha Series, Naruto let out a sigh as he rubbed his eyes, he was still tired and he did have School and training tomorrow morning

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Mid-terms, oh how Tsukune hated the Midterms, they were a stressful time for the Human but finally that had past, the test results were in and Tsukune, along with Moka, was trying to push his way through some students to check his placement and after a few attempts, he finally got the center and quickly looked for his name.

"128th," He thought to himself in disappointment, it was just below average.

"It's alright, Tsukune-kun if you'd like I could give you some of my notes! They helped me quite a bit" Moka said as she placed a reassuring hand on Tsukune's shoulder, other male students looked on with jealousy as Naruto made his way to the test results and looked for his name.

Moka looked over to Naruto and helped him look for his spot, she finally found him nearly all the way at the bottom

"272nd? Naruto-kun that's awful!" Moka said while the Shinobi shrugged his shoulders

"I told you, I don't really know anything about this place or the subjects, I was never even good with Schoolwork," Naruto casually dismissed while Moka gave him a pout, she made a mental note to get around to tutoring both Naruto and Tsukune before a voice caught Moka and Naruto's attention

"I wouldn't push your luck if I were you, Sendo" the Pink-haired Vampiress turned over to the source, while Naruto made sure to listen carefully

"I don't care if my outfit is against school rules, we've been through this a hundred times!"

"And despite those hundreds of times you still haven't gotten it through your head, you filthy half-breed"

Moka finally founded the source and she watched as a younger girl no older than eleven was being confronted by three older students, one of whom she recognized as the class president

Naruto grew a small frown as he looked over to where Moka was looking and decided to walk over to the scene, Moka looked a bit surprised at this but followed Naruto, while Tsukune shot them a curious look and wondered where they were off to

"Hi! What's going on over here?" Naruto asked with a goofy grin on his face, the Upperclassmen looked over at him

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Uzumaki," the student said as Naruto leaned over with a friendly smile and tilted his head slightly,

"I don't need to concern myself but I think I want to…" Naruto replied while Moka looked over to the stunned young girl as she watched the exchange

"Uzumaki, you don't know what you're getting yourself into," the Class President said while his two friends looked over at the blond, who stared him down without any fear in his eye.

after a few seconds of staring each other down, the Class president backed off and defused the situation, he knew the rumors surrounding what happened to Saizou and he wasn't about to press his luck like that.

"Fine, have it your way, Uzumaki but people like her...they don't belong in this school," he said before he left in the other direction while Moka let out a sigh of relief at least that was over with

"You helped me..." The Girl muttered before looking up at Naruto

"W-Why did you help me?" She asked as Moka gave her a warm smile

"Well we couldn't just stand by and let them treat you like that," The Pink-haired girl answered, Yukari smiled, both Moka and Naruto returned her smile

"So what's your name?" Naruto asked as Yukari kept her gaze on solely Moka

"Yukari Sendo and T-Thank you Moka-chan, I also have a confession to make..." Yukari answered as Moka looked curious

"I love you so much!" Yukari shouted, the small girl somehow got a hold of Moka and started to grope her chest

"A-Ah stop that!" Moka shouted as Naruto quickly intervened

"Oi! That's enough"

Yukari jumped off her and waved her wand, Naruto barely had time to react as a washtub was nearly dropped on his head

"The hell was that for? I helped you!" Naruto shouted as other students looked over to him and shot glares at Yukari, the small Witch however glared straight back at Naruto.

"Don't worry Moka-chan! I'll be back and I'll get those two idiots away from you! Then we'll be together!" Yukari shouted as she ran off, Naruto looked over to Moka while she shrugged her shoulders and gave him a sheepish laugh

"What did I miss?" Tsukune walked over to his two friends, Naruto shot a glance at him before shaking his head while Moka sighed and looked over to her Human friend

"W-Well Anyway...Tsukune-kun what do you think about studying with me today after school?" Moka asked, she perked right back up while Tsukune blushed for a second, alone time with Moka was something he hardly had anymore due to Naruto and Kurumu

"Y-Yeah that sounds great actually" Tsukune accepted as Moka gave him a fanged smile, she turned over to Naruto

"What about you, Naruto-kun?" The Pink-haired Vampiress asked, Tsukune hung his head at this, so much for spending time with Moka alone, Naruto, on the other hand, was lost in his own thoughts, finally able to process everything

"People like her don't belong in this School" Naruto repeated those words he heard from the Class president, in his head.

it left a really bitter taste in his mouth as it reminded him too much of his own Childhood, the Shinobi also noticed the glares and stares that the other students were giving Yukari as she ran off.

That didn't sit right with him

"Naruto-kun?" Moka repeated, Naruto snapped out of his thoughts

"Ah! Sorry, did you say something?" Naruto asked with a grin as Moka gave him a frown

"I asked if you'd like to study with Tsukune and me after school," Moka said while Naruto pretended to think about the question

"I-I'd like to but I'm gonna be very busy later today, maybe another time" Naruto lied as he quickly exited the hallway, Moka frowned at his retreating form while Tsukune made a mental note to thank Naruto in some way for giving him a chance to have some alone time with Moka

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Naruto looked around as he exited the hallway, he took a deep breath, it shouldn't be too hard right? She was just a small girl with a weird pointy hat. Naruto would find her in no time, he was about to start his search until he suddenly felt a cool breeze touch his neck and smiled

"Mizore!" Naruto greeted as he turned around to come face to face with a light purple-haired girl

"Hi" The Yuki-onna waved casually before taking a seat next to the blond

"You haven't been to class all week, What was up with that?" Naruto grumbled crossing his arms as She slightly frowned

"Yeah, I guess I haven't...but I've just been busy" Mizore replied, avoiding his gaze, looking into the distance and the Shinobi looked just a bit confused

"With?" Naruto pressed slightly, the Teen girl's blue eyes looked away from him, really not wanting to get into what she had been busy with.

"Stuff."

There was a slight awkward silence before She spoke up again

"What are you up to?" Mizore asked as she crossed her legs and looked at her blond friend, Naruto blinked

"Well, I need to find this girl, she's really small, has a weird pointy hat, ah... dark hair...too, purple eyes…" Naruto listed off. while Mizore looked thoughtful for a second

"Is the hat pointy like a witch hat?" Mizore asked while Naruto gave a look of confusion

"Witch hat?"

Mizore rolled her eyes. It was a wonder how Naruto didn't know about these things.

"Did she have a wand, she could wave around and summon things?" Mizore asked as Naruto nodded assuming she was talking about the object Yukari was using

"She's a witch then." Mizore spoke while Naruto prepared to go look for Yukari, he looked over to his purple-haired friend

"So you wanna help me?" Naruto offered, Mizore shrugged, rubbing the back of her neck, she should be trying to get her schoolwork in order at the moment but truth be told she couldn't be bothered with that and took a deep breath

"Well, it's not like I have anything better to do…" She answered, there was a brief silence before Naruto spoke

"Do you have any ideas where to start looking?"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Tsukune was happily walking to Moka's dorm with said pink-haired girl by his side, it was amazing, he was finally going to have some alone time with Moka and then...and then he'd have the chance to pop the question soon.

"S-So, we'll work on Ms. Ririko's homework first…I wish Naruto-kun could join us, he really needs to pay attention to his classes more.…" Moka pouted, snapping the human out of his thoughts as he perked

"Y-Yeah but we can't really help him if he doesn't care about his grades in the first place." Tsukune replied, briefly wondering where his friend ran off to.

"But he's also…you know an interdimensional Shinobi." Tsukune added with a low voice, turning over to the Pinkette

"He's probably not gonna need this for the future."

Moka shifted slightly as she walked

"It's still weird that he's from…some place like that, but he's still our friend" The emerald eyed girl muttered, while Tsukune huffed

"Man, I just hope he sticks around till we graduate at least." Tsukune thought to himself, really glad Naruto was a good friend of his at this point, he couldn't really see himself being safe without the blond Shinobi backing him up when needed.

The Human's mind wandered off once again to dreams of finally holding Moka in his arms as he asked her out on a date, while the Pink-haired Vampiress was stunned but accepted the offer, sadly for Tsukune he was going to be rudely interrupted from his fantasies

*Bong*

"Tsukune-kun!" Moka's cry was the last thing the human heard before everything went black

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

A white light blinded Tsukune's eyes as he slowly opened them and gained a bearing on his surroundings, the Human looked around to see he was in the infirmary...again, he didn't know how he got here but he decided to relax in the infirmary bed, his head was still in pain

"Tsukune-kun!"

Tsukune turned to see a familiar blue-haired girl walk into the infirmary and quickly took a seat next to him

"A-Ah Kurumu-chan" Tsukune greeted as She shot him a look of worry, resisting the urge to smother him

"Is your head okay?" she asked, Tsukune rubbed his head and felt a small bump

"Yeah, I think so...do you know what happened?" Tsukune asked Kurumu to let out a sigh

"From what I heard with Moka, you got hit with a washtub, I think it was that Yukari girl that did this" Kurumu said, crossing her arms under her chest

"But why me? I haven't done anything to her, hell I haven't even spoken three words to her!" Tsukune angrily shouted as Kurumu shrugged her shoulders

"Yukari Sendo is known for pulling pranks on other students, from what I can see she's a very lonely kid but given how she's a witch I guess it's not too much of a surprise," Kurumu said, she recalled the very few times she saw Yukari in the hallways

"Why? What's so wrong about Witches?" Tsukune asked as Kurumu looked over at him

"You don't know?" Kurumu asked Tsukune shook his head as Kurumu sighed, it was rare for someone in Yokai to not know the stigma that surrounds Witches.

"Well Witches are half breeds, they aren't considered as a Human or Monster, they're something in-between, because of that many don't want anything to do with them so they look down upon them and if I remember correctly, some humans would outright kill anyone they suspected of being a witch during the Salem Witch trials" Kurumu explained, Tsukune looked at his bed sheets

"I...I see, but I still don't understand why she attacked me like she did" Tsukune pondered

"That would be my fault, Tsukune-kun" Tsukune looked up in surprise at the familiar voice

"Ah, Moka-chan!" Tsukune happily said as the pink-haired girl walked in with a sympathetic smile

"What do you mean it's your fault?" Kurumu asked in a curious tone while Moka sighed before she gave him a sheepish grin

"W-Well, Yukari-chan confessed her love to me and said that she'll do anything in her power to keep Naruto-kun and Tsukune-kun away from me…" Moka said as she played with her fingers cutely, Tsukune's hand suddenly moved much to his surprise

"A-Alright What's going on?" Tsukune asked, suddenly Tsukune punched himself twice, his hand rose again as he suddenly started to grope Kurumu

"O-Oh! Tsukune-kun! So forward, I do like when a man takes the lead but right here?" Kurumu said as she blushed and allowed Tsukune to continue, while Moka turned beet red at the scene

"I'm not doing this!" Tsukune shouted as he tried to take control of his arms again, Moka suddenly perked as she heard laughter, Moka's gaze landed on the window and she quickly walked over to see Yukari laughing outside of the window, playing with a voodoo doll

"Y-Yukari-chan are you doing this?" Moka asked the small Witch gave her a warm smile

"Of course! Someone like Tsukune or Naruto shouldn't even come close to you, I made a promise that I'll keep those two away from us and our love and I intend to keep it!" Yukari shouted with a bright smile. Tsukune finally was able to take control of his hands again and quickly stopped groping Kurumu.

"I didn't say stop, ya know…" Kurumu grumbled in disappointment and a small pout, Tsukune shook his head at Kurumu before he glared at Yukari

"What's your problem!?" Tsukune questioned while Yukari returned his glare

"My problem? My problem is that you keep getting in the way of love! You aren't worthy of Moka-chan's attention, neither is that blond idiot, I heard he placed 272nd in the midterms, he's almost one of the worst students in the Academy, and you, Tsukune Aono, are a below-average student, why Moka-chan gives you the time of day, I'll never understand" Yukari huffed as she crossed her arms.

Tsukune grit his teeth at the constant jabs she took at him, he temporarily forget everything he had just learned about witches

"You know, I can see why everyone thinks you're a bother," Tsukune said in a cold tone as both Moka and Kurumu's eyes widened at what he just said, while Yukari suddenly flinched at this, Tsukune soon realized what he had just said

"T-That's okay, I am used to being alone and I don't need anyone especially people like you!" Yukari said as she ran out of the infirmary room

"Yukari, wait!" Tsukune shouted Yukari turned back with teary eyes as she waved her wand and another washtub fell on Tsukune's head

"Tsukune-kun!" Kurumu shouted as she quickly went over to check on him with Moka right behind her

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

It had nearly been two hours since Naruto and Mizore started their search and came up with nothing; the two now sat alone on the rooftop of the Academy building once again.

"We checked everywhere Naruto, the Cafeteria, the Library even freaking the Auditorium, I think she'll turn up when she wants to." Mizore spoke, playing with her sucker, Naruto shook his head

"I really need to talk to her, so I can't give up yet, sorry." Naruto said as Mizore gazed at the Academy woods that was visible from the rooftop

"Why do you need to talk to her so badly anyway?" Mizore brought up while Naruto let out a tired laugh from the day and looked at the nearly clear sky as the sun was already setting on the Academy

"I noticed when I saw her that people were giving her stares and such, I just wanted to know what that was about…" Naruto said, closing his eyes, Mizore frowned

"Well she's a witch, it's kind of expected…especially here." Mizore responded in a flat tone, Naruto looked over to her in confusion as Mizore sighed but at this point, she was used to explaining stuff to him

"How doesn't he know these things? all Monsters have at least heard of the stuff surrounding Witches " Mizore thought before she spoke

"Witches are half breeds or hybrids, they really don't belong to any group so both Monsters and Humans discriminate against them, Monsters don't see them as equal and put them down...Humans would go out of their way to burn them." Mizore quickly explained while Naruto frowned at this, that's why she was being treated the way she was? it was all the more reason to find her, now

"You still haven't really answered my question," Mizore said while Naruto's eyes looked down at the students still on Academy grounds

"I guess, I can kind of relate to her, I wasn't really well-liked where I was from and I didn't have a lot of friends until a few years ago" Naruto answered as he closed his eyes, recalling his time in Konoha's Shinobi Academy, Mizore was a bit surprised to learn this though she didn't make it known and stayed silent for a few seconds

"...so you were alone?" Mizore softly asked while Naruto nodded and scoffed, thinking about the glares and whispers the Villagers had for him.

"All the time, it sucks… it's not a good feeling and it just feels so empty...that's why I promised myself I wouldn't allow someone to go through that if I could help it." Naruto answered

Mizore looked to be lost in her own thoughts before she stood up and Naruto turned over to her

"Hey, Thanks for your help, Mizore, even if we didn't find her, I do appreciate it!" Naruto said with a bright smile, the Purple-haired girl nodded as she placed her hands in her pockets and started walking away.

"I'll see you in Kotsubo-sensei's class

Naruto let out a sigh as he felt Mizore's presence leave, he still couldn't wrap his head around that girl and how easily she could come and go, though Naruto wasn't going to question it as he looked down at the students from the rooftop and after a few minutes Naruto noticed a small girl with a pointy hat running out of the building

The Shinobi's eyes widened at his luck and he was about to jump down from the rooftop before he remembered something important

"O-Oh right, can't show too much Shinobi stuff" Naruto remembered as he decided to take the stairs instead, unfortunately for Naruto, he didn't notice three older students following right behind Yukari

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Yukari walked alone, She felt the gaze of Students fall on her but they didn't bother her anymore, truth be told the small Witch was just tired, she just wanted to go to her dorm and fast. Sadly for her, Yukari wasn't paying too much attention to her surroundings and she bumped into someone.

"Ouch! Hey! Watch where you're going!" Yukari as she stood up and looked at who she happened to bump into, her eyes widened in fear, it was the class president

"Well, if it isn't little Yukari-chan!" the Class President said with a friendly smile that Yukari obviously knew it was fake.

"I'm really not in the mood right now, just please leave me alone," Yukari glared at the Class president and tried to move past them

the Class President returned the glare as he suddenly grabbed Yukari's wand and the two other students flanked her much to her horror

"Yukari, you're going to listen to me now, right?" The Class President asked as Yukari gave a slow terrified nod

"Good, now just follow me and you won't be harmed, okay?" the Class President said, he turned around and Yukari reluctantly followed him as the Class President's two friends were still right behind him but neither Yukari or the Class President noticed a pair of ocean blue eyes watching them from a distance

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

It didn't take long for the Class President's group to reach a small pond, it was actually a somewhat peaceful place, away from all of the students and staff, a perfect place to get some privacy.

Yukari didn't know why they had dragged her here, but she was absolutely terrified, she was already disarmed and at their complete mercy.

"Now then let's begin," the Class President said as his skin began to turn into scales, the two students that came along with them soon started to transform as well, Yukari backed up onto a tree as she began to cower, she couldn't defend herself

"W-What are you going to do?" Yukari asked in fear as the Class president chuckled

"My friends and I are going to have Lunch!" he said, the Class president inched closer and closer to Yukari as she started shaking uncontrollably but before any of them could get a hold of her, Naruto jumped in front of the Lizardmen and made a familiar hand seal

"Kage bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as six clones suddenly appeared and tackled each Lizardman to the point where they couldn't move at all on the ground.

"W-What the hell is this!?" one of them shouted as Naruto moved towards the class president and grabbed Yukari's wand, the three students tried to break free but Naruto's clones made sure to keep their grip tight until their boss was done

"I'm taking this back," Naruto spoke with a face devoid of emotion, he turned around and faced Yukari.

"N-Naruto Uzumaki?" Yukari stuttered, she almost paid him no mind the first time she met him and Moka but the blond she had written off as an idiot had just saved her from being eaten, Naruto made his way over to the tree that Yukari was cowering by and handed back her wand

"I know we got off on the wrong foot earlier but here...how about you summon those wash tubs on these bastards," the Shinobi said with a friendly smile.

It was a smile that Yukari couldn't detect a lie in. it was a genuinely friendly smile and it was something she didn't see often.

Yukari slightly hesitated grabbed her wand and stood up, she made her way to where Naruto's clones still had the Lizardmen immobilized and glared at all three of them

"I hope this hurts as much as it looks like it does," Yukari said as she dropped three washtubs all bigger than the ones she had dropped on Tsukune

*Bong*

The Lizard-men, with one hit to their head, were all knocked out, Naruto poked their face with his finger

"Wow they're really out cold" Naruto thought as he turned over to Yukari and silently dispelled his clones, the small Witch was looking down at her feet

"I tried to hit you with one of those in the hallway when I met Moka-chan…" Yukari started, Naruto let out a small laugh

"Y-yeah, I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to do that again though!" Naruto said as Yukari fell on the grass and took a deep breath, the stress of the day finally got to her

"Naruto-san...why did you help me?" she asked, Naruto sat next to her, still looking at the unconscious Lizardmen,Naruto paused for a second as he thought about what he was gonna to say

"I guess I can see that you're hiding behind a mask too" Naruto started as Yukari made eye contact with him with vague curiosity and Naruto continued.

"You're lonely and you're resentful towards your classmates for treating you unfairly, so you pull pranks on them, because it's what they deserve, right?" Naruto finished as he recalled his own childhood and when he pulled pranks on the Civilians, Yukari's eyes started to water

"I know what that is like all too well, so let me ask you this, Yukari," Naruto said as he stood up

"Do you still want to feel that way?" Naruto asked, the Shinobi extended his hand to her, Yukari stood up and tears started to fall on the ground, she suddenly latched on to the blond and began crying, Naruto was surprised but he returned the hug

"It's alright, you're not gonna be alone anymore...Me, Moka, and Tsukune? we'll be your friends!" Naruto proclaimed, Yukari pulled away from him and wiped her tears away as she gave Naruto a smile

"Thank you so much, Naruto." Yukari said as Naruto waved her off

"Hey, don't worry about it," Naruto said, Yukari finally processed everything that had happened and remembered what technique Naruto had used to immobilize the Lizard men

"But...Naruto what was that clone thing you did?" Yukari asked, she had never seen anything like it and could tell Naruto wasn't anything like her, though he didn't even transform either.

"Oh that, it's my favorite technique, I'll tell you about it later" Naruto waved off as he turned his attention to the Unconscious lizardmen and a mischievous smile made its way on Naruto's face

"Hey, Yukari, I have an idea," Naruto said as the small witch sniffled and looked over at him

"Which is?" Yukari asked, Naruto summoned three clones and picked up the Lizardmen, the Shinobi suddenly took out some rope

"Oh, it's nothing too big...just help me tie them up, we're going to make sure these guys never mess with you again," Naruto said as Yukari gave the knocked out Lizardmen an evil grin

"You got it"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Once Naruto and Yukari with done with their little mission, the two spent the rest of the afternoon just walking around campus while Naruto told Yukari stories about his time as a prankster, Naruto was now actually helping Yukari take her textbooks to her dorm since she still couldn't carry all of them by herself

"Wait so you actually painted the whole mountainside!?" Yukari shouted as Naruto nodded

"Just the monument and I almost got away with it too until my teacher showed up and caught me," Naruto finished, the two shared a laugh as they put away some school supplies in Yukari's locker

"Do you think we're going to get in trouble for doing this?" Yukari asked Naruto scoffed

"Doubt it" Naruto answered as Yukari frowned

"We left them tied to a flag pole with nothing but their underwear and doodled on their face," Yukari said, Naruto smiled

"I know, isn't it great?" Naruto said as he tried to hold back his laughter, Yukari sighed before a smile did appear on her face, Naruto's face suddenly got serious and he leaned over to her.

"Yukari-chan, I want you to do something for me," Naruto said as the small Witch looked over at him

"Yeah?" Yukari said wondering what the blond wanted

"I want you to apologize to your classmates and promise to not pull those pranks anymore." Naruto said as Yukari bit her lower lip

"I know it's fun to pull pranks and I had a lot of fun today but we can't go around pulling pranks constantly, we don't want any trouble like that." Naruto spoke as Yukari looked away

"Alright…I won't prank anyone anymore" Yukari promised as a smirk suddenly appeared on Naruto's face

"Now, Now, I didn't say we should completely stop, we'll just pick our targets and make sure it's people that deserve it," Naruto said as Yukari returned his smirk

"You got it Naruto-niisan!" She said Naruto actually gave her a double-take at this

"Nii-san?" Naruto asked as Yukari nodded

"You saved me from those bastards and You're like the older brother I never had, Naruto-nii-san!" Yukari replied, Naruto suddenly got a vivid flashback of the Konohamaru corp and how he first met the trio back in Konoha.

If Naruto was correct, they would be just about to be graduating from Academy soon, they were probably Genins by now and probably ready to take on their first C-rank Mission.

"I wonder what they're up to these days," Naruto thought to himself, Yukari was close to finishing packing up her supplies in her locker when she noticed a few familiar faces

"Moka-chan!" Yukari said happily as Naruto turned around and saw his friends run up to him

"Yukari-chan, we've been looking all over for you!" Moka said, Naruto looked over to them, Moka was quick to notice her blond friend and frowned at him

"I thought you said you were busy today, Naruto?" Moka said as she quickly went over to the blond who was now sweating bullets

"I-I...well I was a bi-"

"Naruto-nii-san saved me from the Class president and beat them up real good!" Yukari said in a childish voice

"Naruto-nii-san?" Kurumu and Moka muttered, Yukari smiled at her older brother figure

"Yeah, he was super cool and beat them all in one go! You should've seen it!" Yukari shouted as she pumped her fist in the air, despite all of this Tsukune still had one thing in mind and quickly came up to Yukari, the Human gave her a short bow and spoke

"Yukari-san, I'm sorry for what I said earlier" Tsukune apologized as Yukari looked surprised, the small Witch turned to Naruto who smiled at her before she turned back to Tsukune and returned his bow with one of her own

"It's alright, Tsukune-san, I'm sorry for saying the stuff that I said and for hitting you with a washtub," Yukari said as she quickly turned her gaze to Moka

"Moka-chan! I still love you though!" Yukari said, she latched onto the Pink-haired again and started groping her

"Y-Yukari-chan, stop!"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

The Full moon was beautifully lit in the sky over Konoha, more specifically the Hokage tower as Tsunade and Jiraiya had a discussion about what their next move would be

"Are you sure this information is accurate?" Tsunade asked as Jiraiya nodded

"Thanks to my insider it looks like they're starting to keep track of all of Jinchurikis...but there is something else," Jiraiya said, Tsunade raised an eyebrow and Jiraiya took a deep breath

"Two Akatsuki members were probing Kumo's defenses, from what I heard they weren't killing anyone just snooping around, somehow, however they somehow ran into the Nibi Jinchuriki's unit a few miles away from the Village itself, they decided to grab her and make a run for it but fortunately for her a couple of Anbu patrols showed up and held them off while she got away, The Raikage had Kumo go on complete lockdown after this." Jiraiya explained

"Serves the bastard right for ignoring our warnings" Tsunade smirked to herself, she had sent a message to the other great powers about Akatsuki and their plan to take the Jinchurikis but only Kiri and Suna had acknowledged their warning, Jiraiya looked at his old teammate and frowned

"Now's not the time for petty victories, Tsunade-hime" Jiraiya scolded as he knew why the blonde Kage was smirking

"Yeah, yeah" Tsunade waved him off before getting serious again and looked to be in deep thought

"Well...I guess I am going to send another message to Kumo…" Tsunade started, she paused for a moment before continuing

"No, not just Kumo, I am going send another message to the other Villages, It's a long shot but I am hoping after this blunder Akatsuki had we'll be able to get Kumo and Iwa to see how dangerous Akatsuki is, I'm not expecting an alliance of any kind but I just want to make sure they're on their guard when the time comes" Tsunade finished before she turned to the Toad Sage

"I want all information you have on Akatsuki, we're going to share some of our intel with Suna and Kiri so they can vouch for us, if pressed we'll even show some to Kumo but only intel related to Akatsuki" Tsunade ordered as Jiraiya looked a bit surprised at Tsunade's boldness of the situation

"I'll have it ready by tomorrow," Jiraiya said as he composed himself, Tsunade nodded before she took out a map of the elemental nations

"There is something else too…" Tsunade started, she pointed to Takigakure

"I looked over the records and when Grandfather called the first Kage summit, he gifted the other villages the Nine Biju, he gave Takigakure, the Nanabi, I know we have an alliance with Takigakure but…'' Tsunade trailed off

"You're worried that because it's a Minor village, it has a far less chance to fight off an Attack from Akatsuki," Jiraiya said as Tsunade nodded

"Yes...Jiraiya, I want to be one step ahead of Akatsuki no matter what, if we do nothing about the Nanabi and Taki, we'll be practically handing it over to Akatsuki." Tsunade finished as Jiraiya glanced at the map

"Tsunade-hime, an Aggressive strike is out of the question since we have an alliance with Taki and even if we decided to take the Nanabi by force we might provoke the other great nations...on the other hand, Taki isn't going to just give us the Nanabi just because we're in an alliance," Jiraiya said, Tsunade suddenly smirked

"That's true but apparently they're currently suffering from a poor economy, I might be able to work out a deal with Shibuki to get the Jinchuriki for a short time in exchange for economic aid, that'll put a strain on Konoha's economy...but it's better than just giving Akatsuki a Biju." Tsunade said before she took a deep breath

"We'll work out the details later I think, it'll be hard for the village's economy to shoulder it... but it's also important we get Suna and Kiri's backing before we try anything with Taki...just in case, the last thing we want is to start another war" Tsunade responded as Jiraiya nodded and he turned to his teammate

"So how's Naruto?" Jiraiya suddenly asked and Tsunade smiled

"Despite all precautions we took, the kid somehow managed to get himself into trouble again but thankfully nothing too big" Tsunade gave another short pause as Jiraiya let out a chuckle, he wasn't surprised in the slightest, the Senju suddenly gave Jiraiya a grin

"But aside from that, he's been doing just fine, he's even made some friends over there, Yūgao said his training was coming along great too and Mikogami has been keeping a close eye on him as well, Jiraiya...it makes me happy knowing Naruto is actually enjoying himself over there" Tsunade answered as Jiraiya smiled as well

"With all of that said, his grades are still piss poor but that's not surprising...I am going to have Yūgao do something about that later" Tsunade muttered as Jiraiya shook his head, that he knew for certain was going to happen, it was Naruto after all.

"Do you really think we made the right choice with our little stunt?" Tsunade suddenly asked and Jiraiya looked out the window

"We labeled him MIA for Kami's sake, Jiraiya, I am putting a lot of faith in you and I know you've never failed me before but we're playing with fire here, if the brat ever finds out about this, he'll raise hell." Tsunade softly finished as Jiraiya spoke

"I only asked you to do that so I can make a play in Akatsuki…" Jiraiya responded the Old white-haired man turned to Tsunade with a serious look

"I've been using my spy network to leak fake sightings of Naruto all around the elemental nations. my contact said that Akatsuki absolutely needs the Kyuubi to complete its plan whatever that is...so they'll be sinking in resources into tracking him down, not only am I throwing them off Naruto's trail completely by making them believe he's still in the Elemental Nations but I'm also making them waste time and money going around on a wild goose chase" Jiraiya explained with a small chuckle at the end, Tsunade let out a sigh

"Well that actually makes a lot of sense and would be extremely beneficial to us...might even buy us a few months if we're lucky but still, it hasn't been easy trying to keep up this front and trying to get his friends off my back about looking for him…" Tsunade said Jiraiya nodded before he hopped on the window

"Whatever happens, Tsunade-hime, I swear on my life that Akatsuki won't touch Konoha or Naruto, I'll make damn sure of it," Jiraiya said before he left her office through the window, leaving the Senju Princess alone

"I hope so..." muttered Tsunade as she turned away to face the Village.

End

Well that's the Yukari Chapter...anyway, I know went off Canon's timeline-track quite a bit and it might stay that went solely because of writing reasons but I'll stick close to the subject matter, the way I see it, Naruto handling the lower level Yokai isn't too different from what Inner Moka was doing but oh well, there isn't much I can work with for season one, I don't really like it but maybe with the Gin Chapter it'll shape up, by the way, I am going to actually skip the Tamao mermaid Chapter because I have something else planned for that and I'll write the introduction to the Club in a different way

now that we're getting closer to the Mizore Chapter though, I am going to clarify that I am not going to push Naruto and Mizore together instantly, it'll be a back and forth crush thing until a little bit before Kuyo's arc starts, to buy some time so things make sense, I am gonna throw in some Chapters that didn't happen in RV, for the sake of the story, just one or two nothing too big, I know that sounds vague but it'll make more sense when those Chapters actually come out

and for some reason I am getting the same vibe, I got when I made Chapter 2 out of this fic...I think a problem with the beginning of RV is trying to make day to day School life interesting while staying in the bounds of Canon is a slugfest but regardless we have to get through this to reach the Mizore Chapter so eh

that's it, later
