A/N: Hello everybody, here is the new chapter. Now I have been receiving questions as to who Naruto will be paired with, so here it is. Naruto will have a harem which includes but is not limited to: Mana, Kaede, Kazumi, Chizuru, Zazie, Chisame, Konoka, Nekane, and Haruna. Now, there are a few others I have in mind, which I will leave up to you all to decide whether they make it or not. However, be aware I will NOT be adding Evangeline, Chachamaru, Setsuna, Yuuna, or any of the girls who like Negi; and that's FINAL. Now, on with the story.
P.S: A reminder, this is my first ever fanfic, which means this is also my first ever fight scene. So if you decide to review or flame me, please be gentle. :'(
Chapter 3
Toko Kuzunoha took off like a shot towards the half naked young man. She moved so fast, her hair was waving in the air behind her, almost as if leaving a trail.
"Amkjbckë jndcnOá jcvniá ndjywé." she heard him whisper. Thinking he was chanting a spell, she raised her sword, aiming for the teenager's neck in the hopes of knocking him out before he injured any of the mage students who were still inexperienced in combat situations. But she was shocked to see him block her sword with his weapon. Taking a good look at it, she identified it as some sort of tri-pronged...throwing blade?
'Is that a kunai? I've never seen one like that. But more importantly, how is he able to stop my sword with such a small blade! I should of cut through it already!' thought Toko with growing frustration.
She looked at her opponent and saw him smirk at her, adding to her frustration. She growled in a menacing manner that would have sent a lesser man running with his tail between his legs.
Naruto however, was unaffected. He pushed her away from him easily, immediately changing all of her frustration to worry.
As she was sent flying through the air, she couldn't suppress the shudder that ran through her body, 'Such strength! I doubt that even Takahata would be able to match him.' thought Kuzunoha.
Upon landing she quickly took a defensive stance, expecting the young man to counter attack. However, the attack never came. Instead, she found him looking at those around him. She could almost see the gears turning in his head.
'What's are you planning?' she thought with narrowed eyes.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Naruto was looking at his opponents with a calculative eye, seeing who was an immediate threat and who he could take care of later. He had currently counted 26 people surrounding him, 20 of which didn't seem like much of a challenge.
'Two up in the tree, the three in front of me, and the one to my right-Woah, I'm going to call him Sunglasses. I wonder if he's a closet pervert too.' Naruto thought to himself before becoming serious. 'If I had to guess based on their chakra, the three in front of me look like they'll cause me the most trouble. That nee-chan has a sword, Glasses looks to be a close range fighter. But that girl- Wow she's pretty! That skin, and those eyes. She's gorge- No! Focus Naruto. Right now, she is an enemy. I wonder what those two weapons are. They're unlike anything I've seen, but they don't seem sharp enough to cut. Still, she looks ready to use them, so I better assume they do something. I'll have to take that group out of the way first. I wonder if I should use some Shadow Clones to even things out.'
Naruto thought about it for all of two seconds before something dawned on him.
'Wait, this is the perfect opportunity to test some of my new skills. But not too many, I don't know what all of them do and I don't want to kill anyone.'
With his mind made up, Naruto jumped into action.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Naruto rushed at Toko who was nearest to him. She saw him coming and raised her sword then brought it down on his head in a lighting fast movement. Unfortunately for her, Naruto blocked it with his kunai. He pulled his other arm back, preparing to knock the wind out of her, when an alarm went off in his head causing him to move. The instant he leaned back, he saw something pass right in front of his face.
Before he could start figure out what it was, he was punched in the cheek...hard. He was knocked him away from Toko and sent sailing through the air. He flipped himself around, showing great athleticism, and landed back on his feet. The moment he did he was forced to dodge a strike from behind. He turned to see what appeared to be a living shadow standing there. Behind it was a teenage girl that was seemingly creating more of those shadows.
'What is that? I've never seen jutsu like that; not even Shikamaru or his family could do that! Maybe this is what Kami was talking about, she did say they used something called magic. I guess now would be as good a time as any to try some jutsu.' concluded Naruto.
Going through the necessary hand seals(which was just a blur to everyone watching), he dropped his hands to the ground and yelled:
"Doton: Doryuu Taiga(Earth Release: Earth Flow River)"
All of those present felt a sudden rise in magical power, though it was nothing to be worried about. After a moment, those on the ground began to feel the earth beneath their feet give way. Only Takahata, Toko, Mana, and Akashi(Yuna's Father) were quick enough to get away. They were all surprised to see the ground turn to mud; and not just on the surface, the effect went deep enough to where all those not quick enough to move were up to their knees in mud.
Another spike of magical energy caught everyone's attention. They turned to see their half naked opponent going through more of those weird hand signs. They felt another rise in magical energy, but again, it was nothing any of them couldn't handle. When he finally stopped his hand signs, he once again yelled something they couldn't understand.
"Doton: Doryuudan(Earth Release: Earth Dragon Projectile)"
Everyone was stunned to see a dragon made of mud rise out of the ground. For those stuck in the mud, their shock quickly turned to fear when aforementioned dragon began firing balls of mud at everyone. It began with the shadow creatures created by one of the student's, then proceeded to move on to everyone else within its line of vision. In a minute, all those down on the ground were knocked unconscious. Everyone up in the tree were shocked at the display of skill and power, none more so than a certain chibi vampire.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
"What the hell was that!" yelled Evangeline.
She had been watching the whole scene from the beginning in a safe location; hiding high up above the rooftops in the distance. She didn't want to get involved in this fight, not because she was scared, but because she knew all too well that she would be unable to do anything. She preferred to watch and analyze what this mysterious teenager was capable of.
However, she was not expecting this. He was taking on all of the teachers and students, and he seemed to be enjoying it; almost as if he was toying with them. Then he performed some weird spells that didn't require any incantations. But it didn't seem right, spells of that magnitude required more power. Yet he only used enough magical energy in both spells to power one of them. She didn't like it, something was wrong and she didn't like not knowing.
"Chachamaru, did your scanners pick up anything unusual during those two spells?" asked Evangeline to the gynoid, hoping she could explain what it was that had happened.
"Master, I did detected a rise in both ki and magical energy during those two attacks. If I had to guess, I would say that both attacks were comprised of ki and magical energy." responded the ever faithful servant.
"What! Do you mean like Kanka? But that's impossible, only Takahata is capable of that!" screamed the 510 year old in disbelief. "Are you sure your sensors are working properly?"
"Hai Master, I am working at 100%." answered the servant. "I performed a diagnostics check before we confronted Negi-sensei earlier tonight. However, I am afraid you misunderstood me."
"What do you mean?" asked the little blonde.
"From what you have explained to me, in Kanka, both ki and magical energy come out separate and then mix. My sensors inform me that in this young man's case, both the ki and the magical energy came out together, as if they were already mixed from the beginning." explained the green haired girl.
Evangeline was shocked. This was unprecedented, to mix both ki and magical energy from within one's own body was unheard of.
'How is this possible? With power like that, they could all be killed in a matter of seconds if he really wante- Wait! Why hasn't he killed anyone? He's had plenty of chances. Is he just toying with them before he kills them, or is he...? That's it! I better let that annoying old man know about this.'
"Chachamaru, I need you to go deliver a message to the dean for me." announced Evangeline.
"But Master, what about the boy, I thought you wanted me to subdu-"
"I know what I said Chachamaru, but the plans have changed. There are more important things that need to be done. Now listen up!" ordered Evangeline.
"Hai. Sorry for questioning you Master." apologized Chachamaru.
Evangeline just nodded. "I need you to tell that old fool that this boy is not a threat. He seems to not be able to understand us, but from what I've heard, he doesn't know any language I recognize. Hopefully the old man will be able to help. Now, drop me off on that roof over there and go."
Chachamaru bowed to her master and did as she said. Evangeline watched as Chachamaru flew off to deliver her message before turning back to the fight that was starting to pick up again.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Naruto was admiring his work, thanking his Jiji for giving him such powerful jutsu. Mana, Takahata and the rest of the mage teachers, on the other hand, were speechless.
'He took out half of our staff and students in under a minute, with little effort. He truly is a monster.' thought Toko gripping her sword tightly. 'We have to restrain him quickly, before he does anymore damage!'
"Takahata, we need to-"
"I know Toko, but we're going to have to formulate a plan. No more rushing in without plan, its too dangerous. Just look at him." Everyone did as Takamichi said. They saw him inspecting his work, with a look of awe on his face.
"He may look like he's ignoring us, but I guarantee you he's not. Someone of his caliber doesn't get that strong by ignoring his opponents. Even the fact that he's half naked doesn't seem to bother him." Takahata said getting nods from those around him. "But that doesn't mean he's unbeatable, we're just going to have to avoid those weird spells of his and overwhelm him with our numbers."
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Naruto was currently thinking of the possible combinations he could perform with the jutsu he now possessed. But, his planning was short lived as he felt the rest of his opponents begin to move.
'Looks like they're finally ready.'
Naruto turned to face his opponents, but was immediately forced to dodge as the girl with those weird metal objects fired a smaller metal object at him. He narrowed his eyes as the girl landed next to the victims of his Doton jutsu; checking to make sure they were ok. As she was checking them, a man with the same skin tone and weapons as her, landed beside her in a defensive stance, aiming his weapons at him(Naruto).
'I knew those weapons weren't just for show, they seem to be launchers of some kind. I'll have to keep an eye on them.'
Naruto took a stance while facing the rest of the staff, most of which were flying.
'Hm, looks like the Tsuchikage-Jiji isn't the only who can fly. But how do I get to them? They've seen my jutsu so they'll be sure to dodge. Wait, this is perfect, this will give me an opportunity to test the Hiraishin. Well, here goes nothing.'
And with that last thought, the fight was started anew.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Naruto drew his arm getting ready to throw his kunai. He looked for the biggest cluster of opponents(who were floating) and launched his kunai. The group of three teachers and two students were quick to dodge the kunai, letting it sail past them. The moment Naruto had let go of his kunai, Toko sped towards him. As she swung her sword, there was a yellow flash and the boy was no longer there.
Everyone was surprised at his disappearance, but there were several grunts of pain that caught the remaining teachers' attention. Turning towards the sky, they saw the bodies of their allies dropping towards the ground, along with their missing opponent.
'HOW DID HE GET BEHIND US WITHOUT OUR NOTICING! And what was that yellow flash? I've never seen spells like these before.' thought Takahata with a clenched fist.
'Even with our superior numbers this is starting to look bad for us. I can't afford to hold back anymore. But we're going to have to get the injured out of here, I don't want any collateral damage.'
"Akashi, can yo-"
"Don't worry Takamichi, I'll take care of them. Just make sure you give that exhibitionist what he deserves." interrupted Akashi.
With that being said, Takahata launched himself towards the falling crowd along with Akashi.
While Akashi was busy catching the falling teachers, Takahata went straight for Naruto. He threw a right hook at the falling teenager, who blocked and threw his own punch. Takahata just barely dodged the punch before attempting a kick. Naruto caught the leg and pulled Takahata in close, punching towards his stomach. The teacher quickly brought both his arms in a cross guard in front of his body, blocking the blow; much to his horror however, the punch packed a lot of power. Enough to almost make his arms go numb.
'Incredible! His strength is truly monstrous. But if this is all the speed he has then I have him beat.' thought Takahata.
The two warriors clashed as they fell towards the ground. Takahata threw a right only for Naruto to catch it and return fire with a kick. Takahata proceeded to punch the kick with his left and swiftly lash out with his right again. Naruto leaned his head slightly to his left, dodging the punch by millimeters before countering with a right of his own.
To most of those watching, it was nothing but a blur. Arms and legs were thrown, blocked, and/or dodged with such grace that those watching forgot that they were suppose to be helping their fellow teacher. But as the fight progressed, it became evident that Takahata was slowly being overwhelmed. Naruto's speed was increasing as the fight dragged on, allowing him to land blows in certain areas where Takamichi was too slow to bring his guard back after throwing a punch. The only saving grace was that Naruto had not used his kunai, which was firmly held in his left hand.
At the tail end of the fight, only a handful of the remaining teachers could actually follow the action; and even they had to strain themselves to keep up with the two combatants speeds. What had lasted only 7 seconds seemed like an eternity to those capable of following the fight. But, Toko quickly snapped out of her awe, growing concerned for her colleagues safety.
'This can't go on much longer; I thought Takahata would be able to handle himself, but he's actually losing ground to that teenager. I'm going to have to lend him a hand.' thought Toko.
She looked to her left, signaling Kataragi. The sunglasses wearing teacher seemed to have come to the same conclusion because he gave her a nod of understanding. The moment Takahata and the blonde were mere feet off the ground, Kataragi bit down on something in his mouth. A clicking noise was heard, and the moment the blonde touch the earth, Kataragi launched a powerful gust of wind at the their teenage opponent that hit him in his side, pushing him towards Kuzunoha. Toko had her blade ready to impale him, and did.
For a brief moment, all those gathered felt a sense of relief wash over them. But the feeling quickly subsided when the blondes half naked body burst into smoke and revealed a log in its place. Everyone felt a spike of magical energy coming from the World Tree. They turned to find their teenage opponent standing on one of the branches, going through more of those weird hand signs.
Realizing what this meant, Takamichi flew towards the blonde. However, the blonde surprised everyone once again. Instead of jumping away, or at the very least stopping his hand sings to block the incoming attack, he leaned back. He leaned so far back everyone was sure he would fall off; but much to their shock, he stayed stuck to the tree and just swung himself to a position underneath the branch. With his new position, and with his hand signs done, he unleashed another attack.
"Katon: Karyuu Endan(Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Projectile)" shouted Naruto. A large stream of fire was released from his mouth and was aimed right at Kataragi. Said teacher was quick to jump over the jet of fire, but regretted his decision when he discovered the blonde teenager flying right at him. There was nothing he could do as he was punched square in his jaw, effectively knocking him out. But he was awake long enough to see a smile on the young man's face. Not a condescending smile, but one of pure enjoyment.
'Is he having fun?' was Kataragi's last thought before his world went dark.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Naruto didn't have any time to enjoy his victory over Sunglasses. The moment the fired died the female teacher was upon him. He had to admit, she was quite skilled, but nowhere near the level of Bee. He was weaving in and out of her sword strikes, which were becoming increasingly easier to dodge as her frustration at being unable to land a single hit grew.
"Damn it hold still!" she yelled. Her swings were becoming wider and more hectic.
As Toko lifted her sword above her head, preparing to bring her blade down on his head, her eyes went wide. She had just left herself wide open for a counter attack, and her opponent knew it. She saw him move his left hand, which was still holding his kunai, towards her head. 'I this the end?'
Fortunately for her, Takahata picked this moment to rejoin the fight. He pushed her out of the way and caught Naruto's hand. He kicked Naruto in the gut and away from him and Toko. As soon as Naruto was clear of them, Mana and Gandolfini began firing at him.
"Thank you Takahata, if it wasn't for you I surely would of been done for."
"I don't think so Toko. Look at his blade, he's holding it in a reverse grip. And if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure he was aiming for your temple. Plus from what Akashi, Mana, and Gandolfini have told me, none of the other teachers and students are dead, just unconscious." said Takahata.
"You think he's toying with us?" asked Kuzunoha, feeling her anger skyrocket.
"No, he's simply just not killing us. He's had more then enough chances, and I doubt he didn't notice them. And then there's his magic." explained Takahata.
"What about his magic?" inquired Toko, feeling some of her anger lessen at her colleagues explanation. "Is there something special about it?"
"Yes, it reminds me of my Kan-"
"HENTAI!"
Both teachers spun around to find their opponent still being fired at; except now it was only Mana doing the shooting and she had a deep blush on her face.
"Lets go Toko! I don't know what happened, but we have to stop Mana from killing him if we want any answers; which will be hard to get if he's full of holes." ordered Takahata. Toko just nodded, agreeing with her fellow teacher.
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
~During the conversation~
Naruto was currently running for his life, and it was all Glasses' fault. He was this close to knocking out that scary nee-chan with the sword when he interrupted and ruined everything. And now here he was, blocking and dodging those small metal objects, that he had no doubt could really hurt him. He knew where they were coming from but didn't have enough experience and time to launch any jutsu while on the move. He also didn't want to use Hiraishin and throw his kunai for fear of having it knocked off course. While he looked cool and focused on the outside, on the inside, his mind was a whirlwind of activity.
'Damn it damn it damn it! How the hell am I suppose to get in close? Come on, think Naruto, think! Use some of Jiji's wisdom.'
His eyes darted around, trying to formulate a plan. He was becoming desperate when he spotted the World Tree directly to the left of his two newest opponents. A plan quickly formulated in his head. 'That'll work!'
Naruto immediately did a 90degree turn and ran straight for the foot of the tree. Upon reaching the tree, he ran a good 10 feet straight up the trunk before crouching and pushing off. As he went sailing off the tree, he flew over Mana and Gandolfini where he proceeded to throw his kunai. Both gunmen, who didn't stop shooting, merely separated, allowing the kunai to land between them. There was once again a yellow flash and and just like last time, the blonde disappeared.
Since both gunmen were looking towards the sky, neither realized the person they were looking for was standing between them. However, seeing as how Gandolfini was a few inches taller than Naruto, he didn't notice the head of blonde hair standing next to him; but Mana did, yet it was too late. Before she could raise her gun or alert her sensei, the blonde mule kicked her sensei and sent twin palms to her chest. Both were sent rolling; Mana out towards the open while Gandolfini went towards the tree, crashing into it with his back.
Naruto on the other hand, was rooted to where he was standing, staring at his hands. 'Kami, what did I do that for?' thought Naruto with anime tears running down his cheeks. 'Maybe if I'm lucky she won't notice.' Naruto was so engrossed with staring at his hands, he didn't notice Mana getting back on her feet. Mana was grunting from the pain racking her body, swearing that if she made it through this she would increase her training regimen. When she finally made it to her feet, she found her attacker staring at his hands. Wondering what was wrong with him, it wasn't until her body registered the pain on her chest from where he hit her that she realized what happened.
Mana was unable to keep the blush from spreading on her face, nor stop her body from shaking due to the anger she was feeling. Finally, her anger and embarrassment boiled over; clenching her fist and gripping her gun so tightly the metal was protesting under the pressure, she yelled, "HENTAI!"
That was Naruto's only warning before he was forced to dodge another hail of bullets. He knew he had messed up...and bad. He was almost inclined to just stand there and let the bullets hit him, like he would have let Sakura hit him; but the fact of the matter was, Naruto had seen those same bullets pierce the earth and the tree like they were paper. 'I most Definitely cannot let those things hit me.'
As the bullet hailstorm continued, Naruto was forced to activate his Sharingan to read the direction the bullets were coming from. It was taking every bit of agility and athleticism that Naruto had to dodge the bullets; he was twisting, turning, cart-wheeling and everything in between to keep from being hit. After having had enough, Naruto performed a shunshin took cover. As soon as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves, Takamichi and Toko reached Mana.
"Mana-kun, please calm down. I don't know what happened, but we need him alive to ask him a few questions." pleaded Takahata.
Mana huffed in annoyance before facing her teacher, "Fine Takahata-sensei, but he will pay for what he did to me!" said the disgruntled mercenary.
"Thank you Mana-kun, I really appreciate it." said Takamichi with a smile on his face. "Now, where did he go?"
-Mahora's Maelstrom-
Once Naruto got away from the beauty he had managed to upset, he decided to hide behind the trunk of the World Tree. As he was contemplating how long it would take her to release her anger, he noticed that there were no more shots being fired. He cautiously stuck his head out from behind the tree and noticed the two adults and the young woman looking around for something; then it dawned on him.
'They're looking for me! But why, can they not sense me? Hm, I could take them all out right now; but seeing since that nee-chan has her katana sheathed, and that pretty girl has her weapons put away, I'm guessing they're done fighting for today. Well, here goes nothing.'
Naruto slowly walked out from behind the tree. The kunai was hanging on his pinky from the hole at the end of the handle, his palms were facing the sky signifying that he had no intention of using it. After walking half way to the gathered teachers and student, he suddenly spun the kunai into his palm, once again holding it in a reverse grip, before taking a defensive stance. Toko and Mana were about to draw their own weapons when they noticed he wasn't facing them. The three of them turned to where he was looking.
"Ho ho ho, you are quite good aren't you?" said the headmaster as he stepped out into the open from behind the tree. "Not even Takamichi sensed me," said the headmaster with a slight chuckle. "But what's really amazing, is the fact that I just got here."
Takahata was stunned to say the least, because he really hadn't sensed the dean. 'To think he actually sensed the Headmaster before I did. And if what the Headmaster is saying is true, he sensed him the MOMENT he arrived, incredible. Just who is this young man?'
Naruto on the other hand was having COMPLETELY different thoughts. 'Those eyebrows, holy crap, they're bigger than bushy brows AND super brushy brow-sensei's. COMBINED! Just what kind of world did I land in?'
Naruto was pulled from his thoughts when he noticed his former opponents and the new arrival conversing. He wanted to listen on what they were saying but couldn't. 'Damn it! Why can't I understand them!'
"Ho ho, so this young man defeated all of you, without killing anyone? Truly fascinating. Tell me Takamichi, can he still not understand us?" questioned the dean.
"As far as I know headmaster. But, how did you know about that?" replied the glasses wearing teacher.
"Ho ho, a littler birdie told me." answered the headmaster. 'And considering she's been around the last 500 years, for her to not know a specific language is unusual. That can only mean he's speaking a tongue not of this world...or dimension.' thought the headmaster.
"But fear not, I did not come empty handed. I have a spell that should allows to communicate with him."
The dean took a step towards the blonde, who tensed slightly when he did. The dean simply looked him in the eyes and gave him a reassuring smile, which seemed to comfort Naruto. As the dean stood in front of him, he began chanting a spell that no one, not even Takahata, recognized. Once done, the deans hand started glowing.
'This is kind of like what happened with my parents, when they were giving me my presents' thought Naruto. 'I wonder what he's going to give me.'
As the headmaster moved his hand closer took the blondes face, Takahata, Kuzunoha and Mana were surprised to see the young man didn't look scared. In fact, he had what seemed to be a look of recognition, which surprised them. As the dean placed his hand on Naruto's head, the bright light seeped in to him. Naruto was expecting something to happen, like when his loved ones gave him his gifts; with them he felt a slight pain and when it cleared he seemed to know something he hadn't before. But not this time. He didn't feel any weird sensation or know anything new.
"...maybe he messed up." Naruto whispered to himself. If he would of been paying attention, he would of noticed the look of surprise on the people before.
"W-W-What did you say?" asked swords-woman.
"Hmm, I just said that maybe mess-Wait! You can understand me?" asked a very surprised Naruto. "Why didn't you say anything before! We could of avoided this whole mess!"
"That's because they couldn't understand you before." said the dean with the ever present smile on his face. "The spell I cast before-"
"Spell? What's a spell?" interrupted Naruto.
"What?" asked Naruto a little self conscious of the way everyone was looking at him.
"Young man, do you know what magic is?" asked Takahata before the teenager was bombarded with questions from Toko and Mana.
"Magic? No never heard of it." he replied sheepishly while scratching the back of his head.
"Ho ho ho, it seems that you and me have a lot to talk about then." said the headmaster. "Takamichi, Toko, Mana, Akashi!" said the dean yelling the last name, "Can you all please make sure the staff and students receive medical attention."
A chorused, "Hai!" was his answer. As the remaining teachers and student went about getting everyone to the infirmary, the dean grabbed a hold of Naruto and dragged him along.
"Now then young man, lets head to my office. By the way, my name is Konoe Konoemon; and what shall I call you?"
Naruto smiled brightly at the dean before answering.
"Uzumaki Naruto."
xxX Chapter End Xxx
Alright everyone, so how was the fight scene? Not too bad if I do say so myself. Now, before you all go, I have a favor to ask. Can you please send me a list of fics similar to KingKakashi's, "Do I Have a Purpose Anymore". Or Dansama92's, "Naruto: Starting Anew". The premise is pretty much the same for both stories, Naruto gets fucked over by the ones he loves and leaves the village, then the ones that fucked him over decide they want him back and go after him. So if you could please do that, I would really appreciate it.
P.S: If my pairings aren't to your liking, you guys can also read pokemaster12's, "Negima: Kage Mage" or ruto-kun-nata-chan's, "Mahora's Kiiroi Arashi", which are both really good stories.
Alright everyone, until next time, Ja ne!
