Chapter 55: NOTICE ME, SENSEI!
1758, Three Years Later…
Lucoa giggled as she side-stepped Lance's out stretched arm before grabbing Zest's wrist, twisting it as she tossed the yokai aside.
The White Dragon Emperor tsk'd in annoyance as he turned to face her.
"I'M NOT THROUGH!" He shouted as he charged forward again, his white armor shining brightly in the noon sun's rays.
"Damn, I was close!" Zest grumbled as she got up, gripping her staff tightly. 'If only Sense would have an extending pole made, landing blows would be easier.'
Lucoa's smiled got slightly bigger.
"By all means, come at me with all you have." She chuckled out as her hands were coated in rainbow magic, flickering like flames.
Squatting down, Zest leaped with her powerful legs, closing the gap between herself and the dragon as Lance flew above her, his own magic becoming visible in his hands.
Zest opened her hand, chakra spinning to life in her palm, partially a sphere with tendrils whipping in said spherical motion.
"RASENGAN!" Zest shouted as she slammed the incomplete jutsu into Lucoa's torso, shredding Lucoa's clothes and knocking some wind out of her.
Lucoa was blown back several feet, her feet creating deep grooves in the ground.
"GRAAAAH!" Lance shouted as his magic became wispy tendrils.
Thrusting his hands forward, they extended and latched onto Lucoa.
Landing on the ground and digging his heels deep into the ground, Lance threw Lucoa into the air.
"ZEST!" Lance shouted as he repositioned his legs and held out his hand toward her.
Zest grabbed his hand, allowing him to take some of her power, and with it, Lance spun in place and threw Zest as hard as he could toward Lucoa.
'We are going to win!' Zest thought as she held her staff readily to hit Lucoa.
"Rainbow Dragon Secret Arts…" Lucoa muttered, moving her arms in a circle motion, her magic trailing behind her, causing wind to whip up behind her, making her hair flail in all directions, as her magic whipped out in a tornado like fashion. "Brilliant Lotus: Slicing Flame Blade!"
Unable to stop her forward momentum, Zest crossed her arms, lacerations cutting deep enough to cut the marrow in her bones.
Lance shot up into the air and caught Zest, his wings covering her from the attack, his armor absorbing the magic upon contact.
"Maximum capacity has been reached." Albion explained to Lance.
"SHIT!" Lance shouted as the balance breaker imploded off the man's body from over consumption as he hit the ground, his back luckily not broken, but his head striking the ground.
"FUCK!" They shouted in pain, blood spraying from Zest's arms and Lance hitting the ground, clutching his head.
"Fufufu…" Lucoa giggled as she ended her attack and floated to the ground. "You two are doing better."
"How can you say that when we constantly lose?" Lance asked as he got up, his head swollen.
"Oh, come now, let's take a look." Lucoa said as she walked up to them and pressed her hands against the cuts on Zest's arms. "Zest, you have gained better control over your chakra and have taken up a staff for fighting. On top of that, you have mastered the first two parts of the Rasengan."
"Hmph, but I am having a hard time mastering the third." Zest hissed in pain as the bones started to heal.
"And Lance, you created those magic tendrils." Lucoa praised with a smile. "Fine tune them some more, and I bet they can drain magic for you like your balance breaker, giving you some ranged attack options. You could probably make them smaller and thinner for slicing attacks."
Lance blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Oh, shucks, I didn't do much. I just emulated the fishing exercise Master taught us." Lance stated bashfully.
"But you both have come a long way." Lucoa stated proudly, putting her hands on their heads, having finished healing Zest's arms. "Naruto is proud of you."
'If that is true, then why is Sensei spending time with Lance?'
'If that is true, why hasn't Master taught me any of his techniques like he has Zest?'
"Well, you are able to work together now." Lucoa pointed out.
Zest and Lance rolled their eyes at this.
"Anyway, let's call it a day." Lucoa said as she walked behind them and put her arms around their necks, drawing them into her chest. "I don't want you two to over exert yourselves."
"Okay, Lucoa." The two said in unison.
The trio walked back to camp in peace, which was disturbed when they heard someone shout, "AGAIN!"
The trio turned toward Naruto and Hilda, who were with a man.
"Damn it, Gyuki, I am telling you this is hard." Naruto said after he pulled a short blade out of his mouth, holding up to seven of the same blades over his body.
They were wrapped in red clothe with gold pommel, the blades themselves were roughly a foot in length.
Gyuki was tall and had a huge picky afro, his horns nearly hidden within the hair. His thin figure is powerfully built with dark skin and brown eyes. Gyuki stood at a height of 180 cm, dwarfing Naruto and Hilda.
Gyuki's attire consists of a white headband that had a cloud on it, a white Japanese Kimono, blue flared pants (Where a single tentacle tail was freely swaying) with heavily frayed hems by the ankles, a pair of Japanese geta shoes, and seven small blades that Naruto held.
"I know, and it took B several years to master it, Naruto." Gyuki said as he prepared to attack again. "Now, watch my movements, and attack."
Hilda, who was just training, prepared herself as Naruto sighed in protest as he put the sword back in his mouth.
Naruto and Gyuki took similar stances.
Each standing on one foot while carrying the seven blades.
The seven thin blades were held in between their left armpits, both elbows, right legs, stomachs, the right side of their necks, and in their mouths.
Acting instantly, Gyuki took off, jumping into the air, spinning like a spiky ball, and threw three of his swords.
Naruto and Hilda evaded, with Naruto tripping up as he tried to keep all seven swords on his person.
'DAMN!' Naruto thought as he couldn't dodge, swinging one sword to knock a fourth away, only for Gyuki to recollect the swords and descend upon him like death.
"PAY ATTENTION, NARUTO!" Gyuki instructed as the swords seemingly floated around him in a circle circumference.
Hilda appeared and knocked two of them aside, catching a thrown sword, only to get kneed in the face, the caught sword going into the air.
Gyuki caught the sword and tossed another two.
Naruto threw three of his own.
One of his blades hit Gyuki's, one missed, and the third headed straight for Gyuki.
Jumping from his spot, Naruto grabbed the two fallen swords, evading the thrown blade.
"You're slowly getting it, but its…" Gyuki stated as he evaded Naruto's attack and tripped him with his foot. "Not good enough."
He caught the seven swords around his body and pointed one at Naruto's throat.
"Yield?"
Naruto rolled his eye and nodded.
"I yield." He admitted.
"Fuck, that hurt Gyuki." Hilda groaned as she popped her nose back into place. "Remember, you guys are made of chakra wood and that black rod stuff, so it hurts more!"
"Huh, sorry." Gyuki chuckled as he helped Naruto stand. "Anyway, why aren't you using your Sharingan? It would make this easier to learn, Naruto."
"I know it would." Naruto replied as he picked up his swords. "But B created, learned, and mastered this on his own. It would be a dishonor to him if I used a cheat to master it."
Lance and Zest snickered, covering their mouths as they did.
"Wow, to think there is something that even Master can't do." Lance muttered, trying not to loudly laugh.
"I know, right? How funny is that?" Zest replied, barely able to hold in her joy.
"Well, it's better then being bad at being a dad." Lucoa added harshly bearing a nasty smirk.
"Or being a bad cook?" Hilda asked, cheeks red as she smiled.
"Ha, ha, hAAAAAA!" Naruto 'laughed' sarcastically as he took their jabs. "You know that there are plenty of things I am unable to do, so it isn't that funny."
"Actually, it's hysterical." Kurama chuckled.
'Oh, shut up.' Naruto mentally replied with an eyeroll.
"At least you aren't a bad son, Ashura." Ophis said as she appeared out of nowhere, landing on his shoulders.
Ophis leaned over his head, to which Naruto took notice of.
'This isn't normal. Ophis never does this?' Naruto thought, discreetly using his byakugan. 'No major injuries, but she is exhausted.'
"Well, if the peanut gallery is done laughing, I need a fire going because I am going out hunting." Naruto said, cutting through the laughter of the group as Gyuki and the fourteen swords vanished into their respectful seals. "Come on, Ophis."
"Of course, Ashura." Ophis replied tiredly, which stopped the laughter in its tracks as the duo left.
"That… was strange." Lucoa mumbled as she put a hand on her hip. "She never acts like that…"
"Until now, and now I am worried." Hilda replied in concern.
Both had been told by Naruto of his concern, and thus Ophis's wellbeing was their concern as well.
"I wonder what sensei will bring back for dinner?" Zest asked as she and Lance walked off to the pile of fire wood, grabbing armfuls of the material.
"I hope its deer." Lance replied in disgust. "I don't like eating beaver."
"Well, what if he brings back a beaver?" Zest asks in a taunting tone.
Lance glared at her.
"Well, at least he doesn't set the forest on fire when trying to use Lava style." Lance fired back.
Zest stiffened with an angry look.
"At least I am his apprentice, unlike you, a lowly student!"
Both slammed their heads together, dropping the wood they carried.
"WHAT WAS THAT!" they shouted in unison, which brought their piss to its boiling point.
"Okay, that is enough!" Lucoa said as she grabbed their ears and pulled them away, painfully.
"OW, let me go, Lucoa!" Zest demanded, earning a stronger grip on her ear.
"Lucoa, I am sorry, I won't continue this!" Lance shouted as he held Lucoa's wrist in an attempt to get out of her grip.
Lucoa released them both, causing them to hold their aching appendages, with Zest shaking in her knees.
Not in fear, but a strange, tingling sensation through her entire body, heavily concentrated in her lower region.
Lance, however, stormed off, nearly falling over as he did.
"I'll go talk to him." Lucoa told Hilda, glancing over at Zest.
Hilda nodded.
Lucoa took off after Lance.
"Okay, Zest, what is going on?" Hilda asked Zest, leading the rabbit to the camp with the firewood.
Meanwhile…
"Ophis, is there something you want to tell me?" Naruto asked as the infinite dragon sat upon his shoulders.
He could feel Ophis drawing in nature energy, slowly replenishing her magic.
"Nope, I have nothing, besides that I love you, my dear son." Ophis said with a smile, though her eyes held worry and fear. 'Please, just buy this excuse.'
Naruto didn't answer as he could tell something was wrong.
"I love you too, Ophis." Naruto replied softly, his cheeks being slightly tinted.
Ophis smiled truly as she hugged Naruto's head, enjoying his warmth.
Meanwhile…
Lance and Lucoa sat on a small cliff, staring off into the horizon.
"Lucoa…" Lance mumbled as he pulled his legs up and wrapped his arms around his knees. "Do you think Master doesn't like me?"
Meanwhile, Camp…
"Do you think Sensei isn't teaching me correctly?" Zest asked Hilda as they started a fire.
Hilda quirked her eyebrow.
"No, I think Naruto is teaching you in the best way possible?" Hilda answered as she put a log in the fire.
Meanwhile…
"What makes you think Naruto dislikes you?" Lucoa questioned, concerned about this topic.
"Because," Lance said shamefully, pressing his head into his arms. "He is teaching Zest his techniques, while I am just given other training."
Camp…
"Because he leaves me on my own to master the Rasengan while he is training Lance, helping him make those tendrils." Zest admitted sadly, not liking how her body felt at this moment.
Feeling hot, not of a heated variety, but of emotional guilt and shame, burning so intensely that it made her feel sick as her chest felt like it was being magnetically pulled to the ground due to an invisible weight on her chest.
Hilda cupped her chin in thought.
"I can't speak for Naruto…"
Meanwhile…
"… But I do believe Naruto isn't picking favorites, but knows that you need the most help." Lucoa answered Lance, who pulled his head from his arms and looked at Lucoa.
"You think I need that much help?" Lance asked, sounding dejected and embarrassed that he has to be babied.
Camp…
"You seriously think that?" Zest asked Hilda as the fire started to take root and support itself.
"Yes, he knows that you are capable, and don't need his help as much." Hilda spoke truthfully.
"But… I still want Sensei to train me…" Zest admitted.
Meanwhile…
"I want to learn his techniques…" Lance admitted.
"Well, then you can ask him." Lucoa stated simply, seeing no reason why Naruto would refuse.
"That might be true, but as you said…"
Camp…
"Lance needs all the help he can get, especially with that douchebag Red Dragon, I know." Zest told Hilda. "I know this, but it still hurts that Sensei is focusing so much time on Lance, when he could split his time between us."
Hilda hugged Zest with one arm, running her hand through Zest's long gray hair.
She didn't say anything, but gave her emotional support through physical contact, which Zest accepted.
The heat she had felt had slowly cooled, the weight on her chest having been lifted.
Meanwhile…
Lucoa sighed as she slammed her hand atop Lance's head, making him grunt in pain, eyes popping out.
"OW, what was that for!" He shouted, his aching head swelling.
"Naruto isn't babying you, Lance." Lucoa stated clearly, her eyes cracking open softly to show she was being serious. "Naruto knows you need to grow stronger, your fight with the Red Dragon Emperor could happen any day now, and he wants you to be prepared."
Lance pouted.
"I know, its obvious, but it still feels like babying." Lance stated with a bit of huff in his tone. "But… I am grateful."
Lucoa chuckled and patted Lance's head.
"Let's go back, Naruto should be back by now." Lucoa said as she stood up, holding out her hand.
Lance took it and stood up.
"Thank you." Lance said.
Camp…
"For what?" Hilda asked with her head tilted to the side.
"For listening…" Zest said.
Meanwhile…
"…And dealing with me." Lance said as he had a nervous smile, looking at the ground. "I am doing my best."
"That is all we ask." Lucoa said as they walked back to camp. "But if you need anyone to talk to, I will lend an ear and will keep it secret."
"Keep what secret?"
Lucoa and Lance jumped slightly as Naruto and Ophis appeared out of nowhere, both carrying a large deer in their hands.
"Keep what secret?" Lucoa asked stupidly, which Naruto deadpanned.
"Okay…" he mumbled as he glanced at Lance and smiled. "Sup."
Lance smiled back and nodded.
"Master." Lance replied.
"Here, carry this." Naruto said as he took the deer Ophis was holding, much to her displeasure, and handed it to Lance. "But some muscle on your legs carrying that big bastard."
Lance nodded as he took the deer, only to nearly fall from the weight of the massive deer.
"Okay, now let's get to the camp." Naruto said with boyish enthusiasm.
They walked briskly through the woods and returned to camp, the fire roaring in defiance of its creators.
With her sword skills, a sharp knife, and her keen eyes, Hilda skinned, deboned, and cut the deer quickly and efficiently, making large servings of venison.
Within a few hours, Naruto, Zest, Lance, Ophis, Lucoa, and Hilda were eating the deer meat.
"So," Naruto stated, wiping his mouth with his hand. "We need to go back to Kyoto tomorrow."
"Hm, that time of the year again?" Hilda asked, her tone holding slight sadness buried within it.
"Yeah," Naruto replied with his eyes narrowing sadly. "It is."
"Don't worry, Ashura." Ophis said as she pressed her cheek to his in a motherly way. "We are here for you if you need us."
Naruto smiled and accepted her offer.
Next Day, Kyoto…
"Man, they do have many… beautiful people here." Lance said as he, Zest, and Lucoa walked through Kyoto to buy some food for the party they were planning that night.
"We do have a lot of gorgeous women." Harribel said as she guided them through the altered Kyoto Shopping District.
"Yes, lots of pretty men." Zest said as she leered at a few men.
"Agreed."
"What?"
"What?"
Lucoa and Harribel laughed at their interactions.
"Come on you too, we need to get the food and then help Harribel prepare." Lucoa reminded them.
"Okay, Lucoa." Zest replied as Lance blushed red, feeling anxious and nervous.
Meanwhile…
Naruto lit the incense with Matatabi's blue flames, dowsing the flames before clapping his hands, closing his eyes in prayer.
Yasaka clapped her hands in prayer, followed by Akasha and Hilda, Ophis, meanwhile, didn't make any motion of praying, but stayed quiet.
Before them was a small alter with multiple paintings under the Sakura Tree, AKA, Tamamo's Tree.
In the paintings were Iroh, Tamamo, Adrian, Lisa, and Vlad.
After several minutes, Naruto opened his eyes, slightly watering as he looked at the painting of Tamamo.
'My love,' he thought sadly as he didn't look away. 'I hope you are happy where you are, with Grandpa Iroh, and our other family.'
Hilda took Naruto's hand, giving him a reassuring squeeze, to which he returned.
Yasaka took Akasha's hand, who squeezed her beloved's hand.
Both couples stayed silent as a gentle wind blew through the tree petals, causing a few of them to fall.
"May you all rest in peace." Ophis stated softly, causing the group to turn in surprise.
Evening…
"Oh, come on, one more…" Naruto drunkenly droned out as his hand lazily reached out for the bottle of sake, but was taken by Hilda, who started guzzling the drink from the bottle. "HEY GIVE ME SOME!"
Naruto drunkenly lunged forward to grab the gourd, only stopped by Lucoa, who was not drinking, stopped him.
"Lucoa~" Naruto cried as he held her clothing. "Hilda is being mean… she won't share!"
"Oh, you pour baby." Lucoa said with a hidden giggle as Naruto whined into her breasts.
Akasha, meanwhile, was red in the face as her vision blurred. Her head lulled, snapping back into position with her eyes wide… before they became heavy lidded and unfocused as she swayed again.
She hit the ground, her saucer shattering on the ground as she passed out.
Harribel and Yasaka were in a corner, drunk with multiple bottles around them, making out heavily. So drunk were they that the world around them was drowned out by their personal grunts and moans.
Zest, meanwhile, was snoring boorishly at the table after a few cups of alcohol.
Lance, at this time, was talking to a few girls.
"You…" One girl said as she looked him up and down. "I am taking you home with me."
"Oh, uh… okay…" Lance replied as he didn't see any problem with this, leaving with the woman.
She was gorgeous.
Long limbs that went on for days, never ending. Slick black hair that shined a deep blue in the light. Amber shaped eyes that were dark brown.
Once they arrived in her home, she jumped him, sucking face with him.
Anxiety bubbled in Lance's guts as he kissed her back, removing his clothes as they continued to make out.
'What is this?' Lance thought hazily as the night started to blur.
Sensations, warm and pleasurable, flooded his drunken system, pumping through his blood as he and the woman had sex.
But underneath the pleasures of the flesh were deep seeded feelings of self-loathing.
Feelings of betrayal.
A sense of guilt.
'This isn't right.' Lance thought as he slammed his hips against hers, her legs tightening around his waist as they climaxed, soaked in sweat and sexual fluids.
'I… I didn't like this…' Lance thought as he collapsed onto the futon, gasping for air as his vision started to turn black, his heart racing millions of miles per second as he passed out.
Chapter 55, DONE!
Lucoa's offensive magic is that of Natsu's from Fairy Tail.
Gyuki's human form is Afro from Afro Samurai.
I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, because of the differing POV's of Zest and Lance, and how they see the situation.
And then the reveal in the end, I feel many will understand what I am going for here.
Besides that, the anticipated fight is close at hand, don't worry, it's coming soon.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. If you did, please leave a review and if you didn't like it, please leave a review anyway. It does help me become a better author.
