Reading The Charming Assassin Charmer

Chapter 1; Light & Dark


"All shadows of clouds the sun cannot hide like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide; but a hidden star can still be smiling
at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling"

― Munia Khan


Sakura Haruno, Tsunade Senju, Hinata Hyuuga, Ino Yamanaka, Tenten, Jiraiya, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Sasuke Uchiha, and one Naruto Uzumaki were in a secluded iron room, having a stand off with a odd group of people, tension thick in the air

No one knew how they got there. It was quite the mystery to them all. Seeing Sasuke Uchiha appear in front of them was what mainly caused the tension. (This Takes Place With Naruto Characters From Episode 10 Of Naruto Shippuden)

No one knew how to react to the situation they were put in at all. You would've expected Naruto and Sasuke to throw down right in the middle of the room. But something else had put the ninja's on edge.

They were in a room with a Blonde Girl that looked to be as if she was some sort of gothic lover, and her hair had turned into dozens of blades.

And it wasn't just her.

There was a trio of pink-haired girls, all of them bearing a tail reminding them of a devil, and at that there was a normal looking brunette girl with from what they could sense had near Civilian levels of energy, without the tail or the goth fit.

She seemed to be holding onto a orange-haired boy that looked to be scared out of his mind at the ninja's looking toward them. But what had their attention the most, was the fact that there was a red pinkish haired girl with a arm in the shape of a.. a cannon of some type, she also had goth clothes.

No one dared to speak a word.

"Oi oi oi! This is what we're NOT gonna do, chill the fuck out! I brought you here for something OTHER than fighting." A glowing figure that surprisingly didn't blind them appeared as if he walked through one of the walls.

"Hey lightbulb guy where the hell are we?!" Naruto damn near screeched, everyone that resided in the room took in his looks, and had to admit he looked to be some sort of god.

Except Naruto of course.

He was just a lightbulb to him.

"I have to agree with subordinate. Where are we?" Tsunade asked in her 'Hokage' voice. "Yeah I'm with the brat and the Kage. One moment I'm doing my research and I'm here, what exactly is going is going on?" This time, Jiraiya had spoken up.

Soon enough they all started to voice their opinions.

"Yeah glowey! I never asked to come here!" "Lala, "glowey" isn't even a word." And now it was Momo and Lala.

"I want to leave." Yami simply told the man.

"Rito since we're here does this mean that you want to lick me now?" Mea asked with stars in her eyes, the statement got a "pervert" out of a certain pink hair flat chested girl. "I-I-I'm not a pervert!" A certain orange headed boy yelled, pink in the face.

"Not to be rude, random guy, but I do have to cook dinner." Mikan said in a suggestive tone.

"I have to sharpen my Kunai!" Tenten.

"Hn." Well, it was obvious this was Sasuke.

'Sasuke's so cool!' Sakura thought, she fangirled right away.

"A-ano... I have to do some.. training." Twiddling her fingers, it was Hinata.

-Bark- "Akamaru likes it here for some reason, so I'm cool with it!" If you don't know who this is, you're a disappointment.

"It seems this holy figures youthfulness has called upon me to assist with his training! I will show just what it means to be in the spring time of your youth!" Rock Lee stated dramatically while pumping a fist.

"Well, that was just too much at once. But anyway, I brought you here to read and watch a show! You're gonna love it!"

"So... you had us brung here to watch a show." Tsunade slowly said. "Yep yep yep! To watch a show!" Jiraiya gained a perverted look on his face, "Heheh! I'm liking where this is going! So just what type of show are we talking here?"

"What type of show hmmm? Well, lets just say its a parallel world! Sounds interesting right?!" The strange glowing figure asked with a lot of excitement in his voice.

"Ooh! I've been trying to make a device to watch into other dimensions! But this just makes it easier! Thanks glowey!" Lala told the man giving him a bright smile with a thumbs up.

"That.. actually sounds pretty cool." Tenten said, holding her chin and propping her elbow up on her free palm. "What's a parallel world?" Naruto asked squinting his eyes

"Just who are you?" Tsunade asked, suspicion flowing off of her in waves. "Oh, you might know me as uh... Messiah? Er, forgot what mortals called it. Uhh, The Great Venerable One?" He stated putting a finger up in what he thought was realization.

Seeing their confused faces, he thought a little more. "OH! I got it! Completely slipped my mind haha! I'm known as God."

It got deathly silent after those words were said.

He could see the disbelief on their faces.

"If you think I'm lying you are very wrong, and as for why you are here, both of you're respective universes collided with each other causing a massive explosion, if you could call it that. More like a gigantic black hole. So I grabbed you're souls and put you here, and while I repair the destroyed Universes, you will be here, watching the story of a parallel existence of you're own very lives."

That was way too much information for all of them. The bigger brains of the group had started to wonder why THEY were saved instead of others who could be potentially more useful.

"Now lets say all of this is true, why are you letting us watch another existence?" Tsunade asked him.

God looked at her, "So... you're saying you want to just sit here for.. uh, I don't know. Days? Maybe a year? Just doing nothing? Waiting?"


They came to understand their situation, even if it was a little.. wack. The one known as God had demonstrated his power as well. And they knew it positively well that didn't have a chance in hell at beating him.

They were to just accept his kindness, and wait for everything to be restored.

The God snapped his fingers gaining their attention, "So, I'm going to leave to go work on repairing. So as I said, here you go!" He snapped his fingers and a Flatscreen TV shimmered into existence onto one of the 'iron' walls they were confided in.

Snapping again, a book dropped from out of a purple portal and an array of seats rose out of the ground, mostly couches, so they could get comfortable, with a table in the middle of the room.

The Flatscreen TV expanded in size to cover the entire wall.

"Alright! Ja'ne!" And he disappeared out of existence. The book began to glow before flying into Jiraiya's hands.

"So... anyone as confused as I am?" He gained multiple nods.

"We can't use Chakra here, I doubt you.. other dimension people can do anything either, leaving us with nothing to do but read. He wasn't lying."

"I think we should find a way out of here Ero-sennin! With all of us working together, there's definitely a chance we can break out of here!"

He shook his head, "Naruto, we actually can't, without our Chakra we basically can't really do anything, and at that, theres not even a door, or a window to get out of here from. Its more as if we're in some type of box. And while I would call it a Genjutsu, I have seals placed on my body that alert me to Genjutsu, not a single one of them went of, hell, I don't even know if I could tell they went off." Jiraiya posed a reasonable point.

"You think we should just read?" Lala spoke up, the To Love-Ru gang had been quiet, mostly because they didn't know how to really react to a bunch of randoms, that were from a different universe all together.

"I think what we should do is-" The book started to flash before it forced itself open inside of Jiraiya's hands, giving a single mental command to the powerful pervert. 'Read Me.'

"Read the book." That confused many as they were sure he was going to state some sort of plan, or something atleast. His eyes held a dull look on them.

"Tsunade-Sama, with all due respect what do you think we should do?"

All of the females in the room looked towards the Hokage. "Nothing we can do for now, and besides it's not like reading is going to kill us." Sakura gave a nod.

Momo kept quiet mainly because she couldn't find a way for her to step into the conversation, same as Nana.

And Yami? She just found no reason to move her mouth.

Mea however was invading Rito's mind with Psycho-dive before she was forced out somehow. She suspected it had to do something with God.

Mea pouted before looking around the room. The residents of the Iron Chamber heard a noise that sounded almost like a engine, or a train for the ninja's.

And then they found out what the source was, the Flatscreen TV.

It drew all of their attention.

It started to glow before it started to transform into a picture, but it wasn't a picture. More of a animation. It showed what looked to be a Tanabata wish tree with many white and black lanterns moving across the screen. Then it spaced out to show one of the boys in the room they recognized.

Naruto. He was shown standing above all of the lanterns with around three Tanabata wishing trees to the left and right. Multiple instruments started to play, and they heard a catchy tune that was probably two or three guitars, electric and normal included.

Some of them started to bop their heads, and the name, Naruto appeared on the screen, making itself known. This had shocked them and at the same time it told them in a way who the story was about.

Kiba just gave a irritated frown, why not Kiba? That just wasn't fair.

They turned to look at the blonde who had been entranced by what he was seeing on the Flatscreen TV, he had a amazed look on his face with a slowly growing grin. Naruto flashed his grin to them all giving a thumbs up for the hell of it.

If it was about him, he was gonna make the best of it.

Unknowing to all of them, Jiraiya was the one who started the show, it was the reason the book forced itself in his hands.

They all looked back to the TV to see a voice started to play out.

『NICO Touches the Walls - Niwaka Ame ni Mo Makezu』

Naruto OP 13

Juu yoku gou wo seishimashite

The screen changed to see Tsunade, or in the To Love-Ru gang's eyes, the busty blonde woman in the room, on the screen looking as if she was passed out in a way, a moose running across the screen with fire following up behind it.

And they had to admit, she looked extremely beautiful. Ino almost felt a little insecure at just how beautiful their kage was, and she was in her fifties for christ sake! Sakura was wondering if maybe she looked as good as Tsunade, maybe Sasuke would pay attention to her.

Sasuke stared at the boobs.

Naruto stared at the boobs.

They looked at each other, and nodded.

Kiba let out a howl of approval.

Rock Lee was ready to spread his youth on the screen.

Momo looked at Tsunade in the room and saw how identical they were. She gained a devious grin, 'I wonder if I should add her to Rito-San's harem, fufufufu'

Gou yoku juu mo tatsu

Then it changed to a dark skinned male with a fuck ton of muscles, he had pale blonde hair styled in cornrows with a beard of the same color. A bear showed its face and let out what looked to be breath of cold air, then it showed the bear coming to the edge of a ice cliff with lightning drifting all around the area.

Momo and Nana blushed at seeing all of the muscles, as did many of the lesser kunoichi, such as Ino, Sakura, and Tenten to some extent as well. Tsunade just frowned at seeing the Raikage, wondering why he appeared. And Sasuke had to do a double take as he started to wonder why the hell was the man so muscular.

Yami just thought his muscles were in the way and too bulky to fight. How wrong she was.

Neji just wondered why the hell he had to see another mans muscles.

Rock Lee was considering roaring his approval of how youthful the man had to be to train to have that much power.

And Naruto? He was just bopping his head to the tune.

Muchuu de kakkotsuketara

Then it showed a old man who none of them really recognized, except Tsunade of course, Jiraiya? He was still brain washed by the book so he couldn't really give an opinion

However he was pretty okay. In his own way of course. He seemed as if he held authority, judging from the obvious big shots that were just displayed on the TV.

But there was a thought, what was the book for if they were just going to watch it on the TV?

Bah, who cares.

Hijouberu ga naru

And then the screen showed what everyone had to admit, sans Yami, what had to be the most beautiful girl they'd ever seen. She had what looked to be dark brown hair, which was most likely not due to the shading, and a blue battle outfit. She had very soft facial features and was slightly beat up. But she had a pair of lips women would kill for. Her hair looked silky, extremely so.

A whale moving behind her in a luminescent blue, it was a very beautiful scene all in all.

Even Sasuke almost recoiled in shock. Every male's fantasy was right there. Naruto went a little pink in the face, Kiba... he looked like he was ready to jump into the screen. Rito blushed and stated, "She's gorgeous."

Rock Lee? He was going to find her the moment the universes were repaired. He gave himself a nod. Yup. He was gonna find her. Guaranteed. His own personal goal, and If he didn't find her he would do 50000 Push ups.

Tsunade just raised a eyebrow, realizing they were showing the five kage, Momo blushed and made it a must to find her and throw her into Rito's harem.

Nana was just jealous. Lala on the other hand? "Shes basically as beautiful as Ma!" And she wasn't wrong.

Mea just wondered why all the boys reacted to seeing her, even Rito did. And that's saying something.

Gojuppo ijou no saki aruite

Next a red haired boy with what seemed to be black lines around his eyes showed up with a kanji for love on his forehead. With a sort of battle armor on, and boars fighting behind him, it then zoomed up on the boar and Gaara's face.

Seeing the redhead, Nana couldn't help but blush.

"Gaara!" Naruto called out, pointing a hand at the screen.

Momo didn't react, Lala thought he was cute. But she was still loyal to Rito. Always.

None of the boys had a visible reaction except Sasuke, remembering losing against him back during the Chunin Exams, he scowled at Gaara.

Naruto noticed the scowl and just sweatdropped.

Chototsu moushin na sutairu

Next to show up on the screen was something no one expected at all. It was Sasuke, the screen darkened considerably and it showed crystals moving around behind the Uchiha. Much like the others he appeared to be asleep, then the crystals turned into a spiral of smoke, making a huge circle.

Every girl sans Hinata and Tsunade blushed.

Rito was offended and glared at Sasuke because he saw Lala blushing at him.

The look Sasuke gave him almost made him shit his pants and he regretted his action.

Momo was thinking something.. completely off course of her normal plans. 'I need to get him in My harem.' She thought as she looked at the screen with hearts in her eyes.

Nana was just wondering if he would give her a chance.

Jiyuu de kibun ya no kimi wa dou yatte tte mushi

What happened next caught them all off guard. They were expecting another person lying dormant with an animal or element behind them, only to find a man in a purple robe with a type of fan on his back.

He raised his hands towards the screen with what looked to be red ropes moving behind him, and a line appeared at the bottom of the screen which then opened up to reveal a eye with many lines in it, one that no one except Jiraiya would recognize, of course, if he wasn't brainwashed by the book.

The To Love-Ru gang were slightly frightened by the eye, except Yami and Mea, and some of the Konoha ninja too, or by some I mean Sakura and Ino.

Although it was a little spooky it was pretty cool in its own way and they started to move their heads to the tune of the song.

Dare ni mo tokenai nazo ga aru fukidashita kaze ni furueteru

This had also produced the same results as the last scene, once more catching them off guard. It switched back to Naruto to reveal many black strings and ropes coming from behind him and taking a hold of him, giving them all a little shock as they leaned in closer to get a better look, curious.

Then they saw Naruto's feet get imbedded into the ground and they started to worry a little, Lala and Hinata casting a worried glance towards the real Naruto.

Yami gave Naruto a weird look, wondering if someone with Transform was attacking him.

Sasuke looked at his only friend wondering what was going on as well.

Then the screen showed Naruto's hand glowing a bright light that caught all of their attention and they saw as Naruto begun to bring it up, struggling with the black strings and roped pulling him down.

When he finally got it close to his face up they all got a little bit of tension wondering what was the glowing aura in Naruto's hand.

Then he ate it, catching them all by surprise.

Even Naruto himself was surprised, his eyebrows widening in shock.

"Naruto, whats going on?" Sakura asked him weirdly.

"Hell if I'm supposed to know, just enjoy the music." He told her with a shrug.

Kono meiro wo hodoite yaru

The screen focused on Naruto as they all waited impatiently to see what was going to happen before his eyes snapped open revealing them glowing a mischievous golden aura, before his body exploded in a golden light, the lanterns that were black and white before burned golden before they started to fly off into the sky.

The black ropes turned golden before they shot off into the sky as well, making a bridge.

Then multiple people, each with a sharingan appeared at the top of the bridge.

That sent all of the Konoha shinobi into a deep thought. Tsunade especially, she didn't know if that was Madara Uchiha or not. She would just hope it wasn't.

Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Tenten all looked at Naruto to see how he was reacting to this because they had mixed feelings on the matter, from what it looked like, it seemed as if Naruto had to fight against them.

And Sasuke of all people was up there. And that thought had scared them, a lot. More than they'd like to admit.

Then the screen showed five different eyes that they barely noticed and they saw as Naruto took a step onto the lantern as if he was planning on a sprint toward the top of the 'bridge'.

The To Love-Ru gang had no clue what was going on, or if it could be any good or any bad. So they shrugged it off.

Kimi ga waratta ashita wa ame kai?

What happened next started to shake the Shinobi to their core once more. It was like shock after the shock, the Kage's the old man, and that beautiful woman were all standing next to each other before a humongous fireball flew over their head.

The To Love-Ru gang got excited as they saw all the strong people standing next to each other ready to fight, and they were even more entertained seeing them take off in a burst of speed.

Then the screen showed a man crouching down on all fours shooting fireballs as if he was some pokemon or something, this had Sasuke and Naruto a little hyped up,

One because he saw how powerful the fire jutsu was, the other because he knew it was one of the people he ran towards with the bridge.

Rock Lee had no words, he just watched astonished, Kiba was the same.

As for Sakura, Ino, and Tenten? They just didn't know how they were exactly supposed to react, first of all, they didn't even appear not ONCE in the animation they were watching, were they dead?

Then the screen turned to see the fireball the man on all fours spit out going at a godspeed across the battlefield, then an enormous wall of earth came up to black the fireball with a tiny man standing on top of it. Then the tiny man was shot down off of the wall and many of the shinobi were feeling slightly off at this.

They knew their kage was fighting along other kage, but whoever this was happened to be able to match the kage and more, and he was able to stand up to them. This put a frown on all of their faces.

Soumei na hikari ga chikachika hikaru

Then the screen changed to see the man jumping over many earth pillars and blocks flying out of the wall, before being hit with a fierce water jutsu that came flying through the earth pillar, blasting him away.

Yami and Mea watching this battle had no words, it was a battle that far outclassed even them. Probably even Darkness form.

Rito was wondering why this world of humans were way different then his, Momo was silent same as Nana.

And Lala had a face that showed she was enjoying the fight scene.

Then it showed the one who had used the water attack was the woman they had all recognized as a beauty. She was spewing water out of her mouth and it looked as if snow was falling all around her, her hair flying back furiously from the pressure of her attack.

Naruto had to admit, if he wanted any woman, he was going to be shooting for her. Unknown to him, Sasuke was thinking the same thing.

Kiba was intently watching wondering how this was all going to play out.

Rock Lee was just put off realizing he couldn't do any of this because he had no chakra to work with.

Me wo korasanakucha mirai ga

The screen then went on to show the redhead, or in the shinobi's case, Gaara skating up on sand at speeds they had no clue Gaara could travel, dodging many fireballs and in turn, he gained more respect from the shinobi without even trying.

They watched intently with all eyes focused, nothing else, no thoughts, just wondering who would come out victorius.

Next came the Gaara raising a hand up and they had saw a blue ethereal humanoid beast, which looked to be as big as a house with Gaara's sand coming up to retrain its movements.

This had them all a little scared for the future, seeing them fight off something that required all the kage.

The To Love-Ru tenants had no problem with these ninja. Seeing them being able to fight on this scale of power, proved to them that they'd rather become friends then fight. They held unimaginable power.

Yami had to shake her head at the thought of it. Same as Mea.

Then the screen skipped to show a man covered in blue lightning throwing a fury of punches at a speed none of them could comprehend at the beast, breaking its guard and throwing a punch that forced it into the sky.

Kawatteshimau~

Many of them were slightly put off hearing the vocals of the music, and they all started to come into tune with the song, actually coming to like it.

Then it showed the blonde woman who was in the room with them, or for the shinobi Tsunade, come flying down into the water, making a crater as she looked up and gave a shout, which in the first time, signaled someone speaking in the animation.

This had caused their interest to get a little more peeked and they just couldn't wait to see what would happen next.

Mae ni

Then it changed back to Naruto who seemed to be halfway up the bridge running at a decent speed towards a masked man with a sharingan.

They were wondering what type of fight was going to take place with the blonde boy who was around their age and they looked over to the teen sitting near them, curious of what he could do.

They were surprised to see him straight headbutt the masked man, a feral look on the blondes face, one filled with rage. Nana's facial features softened as she looked at the blonde in real life, and couldn't imagine such a look on his face because of how much positive energy she felt come off of him.

Momo just thought his headbutt was stupid, Lala giggled, Rito was surprised, and Yami and Mea? Disappointed.

But the Shinobi group were all disappointed as well, a chakra enhanced punch would've been better in their opinion.

And then the masked man had done an amazing show of acrobatics and did a spin flip that turned into a kick that sent Naruto sailing down off into the floor causing a massive crater and smoke.

They all held in a wince at that.

Kimi to jana kucha mirai wa kawaite shimau
No kamo isoge kitto ima wo waratte iku

Then the screen flipped again to show Naruto in a red area with his head down, his hair dripping with water as he brought it up. He looked off into a cage where all you could see was glowing red eyes and the outline of a massive body.

The shinobi almost wet their pants.

Same as the To Love-Ru gang.

The screen skipped once more to see Naruto put his head back down and a hand came crashing out of the barriers that held the massive being in.

"Holy shit!" Kiba called, they were all aware of the Nine-Tails being inside of Naruto, but they never thought it'd escape.

Sasuke feared for Naruto just a little.

But none were more frightened then the jail holder himself, he looked at the screen with his heart sped up, was the Nine-Tails going to break free?

Tsunade's eyes hardened as she stared at the 'breaking' of the Kyuubi seal.

Sakura and Ino remained speechless.

Tenten? She fainted.

The screen then turned to see Naruto looking up and the Kyuubi, clear as day looking down with a hand outstretched from the seal.

Then light came across Naruto's face as his eyes watered, looking as if he was going to cry.

The next scene shocked them all.

It showed the Kyuubi as a tiny fox, a tear coming down its eye with a frown.

Tsunade almost felt bad for the being of hatred. It did look adorable.

Sakura and Ino? No changes there.

Sasuke was wondering if THAT was the Kyuubi everyone was so afraid of.

Kiba was comforting Akamaru as he whined.

Yami frowned as she felt bad for the fox.

Mea just tilted her head wondering how the baby fox was able to break through the gates, but then again its hand looked big as hell.

Rito just felt that he needed to pet the fox.

Nana could feel the pain that came off of Kurama in waves, making her want to comfort it badly.

Momo just wondered if the fox could turn into a girl fox, maybe put it in Rito's harem.

Then the screen changed and the Fox was no longer a tiny fox.

It was a huge one, with a big smile on its face that was as clear as day, Nana no longer felt the pain anymore, and everyone else? Jut didn't know how to react to the Kyuubi smiling.

Lala just sat there thinking of how the Fox was able to get bigger in less than five seconds.

Then Naruto smiled and the Nine-Tails and him gave each other a fist bump.

Which had every Konoha resident, sitting there questioning what the fuck just happened.

Rock Lee smiled at the youthfulness.

Sasuke was wondering if maybe he controlled Naruto with the Sharingan, maybe he could control the Kyuubi.

Then they were treated to the sight of Naruto glowing, it looked, by Kiba's words, "Cool as fuck."

And no one could disagree with him.

Naruto looked.. Majestic.

It was hard to say anything looked better.

And the fact that he carried a piece of the wishing tree, basically told everyone he was carrying everyone's wishes.

Pretty dope.

But the question was, how the fuck was he glowing? Everyone was contemplating that question.

Then they turned to him.

He offered a grin and a shrug.

Another noise alerted them, it sounded like birds and the ruffling of trees, and that could only be coming from one place. The TV. So the parallel universe they were supposed to be finally started to play, Sasuke thought it was funny.

Like seriously? A parallel universe? Maybe Itachi didn't kill the Uchiha clan. Hm, he snorted. As if, Itachi would probably 'test' himself against the clan in that universe as well.

"You're a jerk, Pervy Sage." A voice called almost in a depressing manner.

Naruto Uzumaki, a young man of sixteen years old, standing at around 5'6" in height with good lengthend spiked, blond hair. He had a tanned skin color, and he had bright blue eyes rather hid his emotions well. His cheeks were chiseled, holding a straight jawline. Not to forget the three whisker marks that he had on each cheek. He had a lean figure that seemed almost skinny if you were staring from faraway. He wore a black headband with a rectangle of metal plastered on it, boasting the leaf insignia on it.

Naruto's outfit consisted of an orange jacket with a dark shade of black on the outlines along his shoulders and sleeves in the shapes of a square and rectangle. And his favorite touch? The orange pants, it wouldn't be much Naruto if it didn't have orange. Finally, he had on black, armored sandals on to complete his outfit, a kunai holster on his leg, and shuriken pouch sitting above his back pocket.

So the story was about Naruto? Momo and Lala shared the similar thought of the story somehow revolving around Rito, but then again they should've expected this, it did have a logo saying the blond's name that took up basically the entire screen when the Flatscreen first turned on.

Looking at each other as if almost sensing the others thoughts, they shrugged, then laughed.

Yami raised a eyebrow.

Mea was dozing off on the couch.

Sakura gave a depressing sigh that the story wasn't about Sasuke. That was just a let down. She looked over to Sasuke to see him not paying the slightest bit of attention toward her.

Ino had been pleasantly surprised that the story hadn't been about her. Sure she wasn't in the... music video of the story, but she had high hopes that it would tell a tale of her adventures on C-Rank missions, and whatnot. Taking this in she had a small frown.

Tsunade merely sat with a blank look on her face. No one knew what she was thinking, but she was focused, they could say that at least.

Tenten was waiting for appearance, maybe she was going to show up next? The thought seemed promising.

Hinata was ecstatic. Naruto? A story all about Naruto? She was fine with it, no objections there. Kiba had a disgruntled look on his face, 'Why does everything always happen around Naruto,' He was thoroughly annoyed.

When was he gonna get his amazing story of him becoming the next Hokage, maybe sooner he would save a princess in the story, yeah, defenitely.

Rock Lee couldn't wait until his youth shone out in the story, he was getting pumped just imagining how he would come to be in this different world. He would just have to wait until Naruto's time was done.

Neji was questioning wether the cursed seal existed in this parallel world.

He took a seat in a small clearing infront of a tree. All his attention focused on the stone in front of him.

The stone had the name of the infamous super pervert 'Jiraiya' marked on the rock, with three kunai with strings attached to them in front of the grave marker. Naruto had a soft smile on his face, despite what his words were saying.

That left the shinobi miffed. Naruto and Tsunade especially.

The pervert died..?

Had Orochimaru killed him? Were the equal thoughts of Tsunade, Sasuke and Naruto.

The room was starting to get awfully quiet.

The first princess of Deviluke didn't know if she could really intervene. She knew it wasn't her place, and she doubted she could understand how the shinobi felt. She looked at the blond who she had seen had a comforting aura around him, seeing how sad he looked in the face she couldn't help but wonder if he needed a hug.

"Ecchi." Yami repeated, not caring much for the death of the perverted old man.

Rito was considering bowing his head in respect for the dead man, but decided against it to not stand out. Sakura looked to her teacher to see how she was fairing with this info, who actually had a frown on her face.

Ino had a connection to Naruto she kept secret for years, she gained a feel for his chakra years ago when she used Shitenshin No Jutsu on him years back.

And feeling his chakra grow so sad made her feel hurt. She didn't like seeing Naruto down. It just wasn't Naruto.

"You know who my Dad was this entire time, and you didn't ever tell me... You ass." Naruto spoke with an accusing tone in his voice.

His father was the Fourth Hokage, the Hokage that he looked up to the most, and that he also had the biggest connection to outside of blood. He never expected that he would have such an amazing father, and when he learned who she was, he could only imagine how amazing his mother was. His father was also his sibling apprentice, since both of them had the same Master, Jiraiya of the Sannin was both of their teachers.

It was almost comically. In a straight row, Sasuke, Sakura, Tenten, Rock Lee, Neji, Hinata, and Naruto's jaw dropped.

"T-t-the fourth was my father..?" The protagonist squeaked out, it seemed to just be shock after shock for him.

Tsunade avoided looking at Naruto.

Sasuke felt a pang of anger go through him, although he couldn't explain why.

The To Love-Ru sect were utterly confused.

The grave said nothing hadn't made a peep.

Of course it didn't.

"I bet you know who my Mom was too, don't you? I was named after a character in your book, so of course you know who she was. Also, I'm stupid for not realizing who he was... I look just like my Dad." Naruto spoke as he rubbed his jawline. His father did have longer hair than he did, but the biggest difference to date was the different faces that they had. He had a heart shaped face, and his father's was more narrow.

All that to the side, he really should have guessed it long before now, since it was really just that obvious.

Naruto grinned and leaned forward.

"Also, I'm a better Sage than you Pervy Sage. It took me less than a week to master Sage Mode, something you couldn't do in like forty years of training, and my Sage Mode is stronger than yours is, so nyah." Naruto stuck his tongue out at the grave.

Tsunade had a visible look of shock on her face at this, her head snapped to look at Naruto and her face had a look that screamed, 'How the fuck?' Less than a week!?

"Fuck is a sage?" Came the smart question from Kiba. But then again, none of the residents of Konoha knew what a sage was, except Sasuke. Probably.

Probably.

The To Love-Ru pact just kept quiet. They didn't understand half of the words being thrown around. And if one of their own didn't, what hope did they have?

He was just talking to the grave, telling Jiraiya everything that he had been doing, and that he had done. It was calming to him, helping him deal with the still recent death of his sensei. "... I met Nagato and Konan too... he was the strongest guy I've ever faced. Even more than strength though... I could understand him. He changed in the end... he brought back everyone who he killed, and sacrificed himself. I'm sure you're proud of him now." Naruto spoke with a wide smile.

He felt a tear threatening to fall.

He was still sore from that battle with Nagato, who had been using the name Pain at the time. The fact that he was able to get Nagato to believe in him, and that they could form a strong bond that allowed them to trust each other, was worth all of the pain that he went through. He was sure that even though Nagato had killed their master, that Jiraiya was still very much proud of how Nagato changed in the end.

Jiraiya was that type of man after all.

The mood had dampened so badly no one dared to speak. They had allowed time for Naruto (and Tsunade) to silently mourn Jiraiya.

Naruto paid no attention to the rustle of leaves behind him.

Sasuke shook his head.

"Not good." Was all Yami said with a shake of her head, she looked over to Mea to see if she would offer some sort of agreement with her, but Mea was sleep on the couch. She settled for the silence instead.

The Devilukean's knew from personal experience to always pay attention to your surroundings, and it mainly came from suitors looking to marry them. For him to simply pay no attention to a shift in his surroundings could lead to his downfall.

The weapon mistress of Konoha simply shook her head. Tenten knew that a well placed Kunai could end just about anyone.

Sakura and Ino shared the same expression. A worried one.

Growing up as a ninja taught you to pay attention to every little thing. A rustle in the leaves mainly meant someone was after you. Naruto didn't seem to mind that though.

'Duh, he was a prodigy student way better than you idiot.'

Naruto could imagine Jiraiya saying those words to him. Though, he knew that his teacher would mean nothing behind those words. Jiraiya was rarely honest with his spoken words, he was always better at expressing the words he wasn't saying out loud.

"I also completed the Rasenshuriken. I can throw it now, and now I can use it without the risk of destroying my chakra coils!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, proud of his achievements. He was never able to brag to anyone about what he did, well he was, but he didn't really care about what they thought. He cared about those closest to him the most. Naruto frowned softly in thought.

Naruto tilted his head with a questioning look, Rasenshuriken? He then gave a grin, hell, he created a new attack, he had to be Hokage material by now.

Tenten also looked intrigued, thinking it might be a new type of Shuriken. The name was too similar to an original one to not be a variaton of it.

The fifth Hokage gave Naruto a extremely surprised look, she had heard from Jiraiya that the Rasengan was an unfinished technique, and the fact that Naruto was able to complete it when the fourth couldnt was astounding to say the least.

"... I created and mastered the technique that even Dad couldn't complete. I just wish you two were alive to see it." Naruto's tone became hushed at the end of the sentence.

At first, Sasuke didn't care that Naruto completed a technique. But hearing Naruto of all people made a technique taht even the fourth Hokage could not was forcing a feeling in his gut that he didn't like.

"You should make a Rasenshuriken for us to play with!" Lala claimed with a excited look on her face, Rito looked at Lala with a knowing smile on his face, it was adorable to see how happy Lala was. But then again, ninja's used shuriken right? So that might be a bit dangerous to play with this, 'Rasenshuriken'

Naruto gave her a shit eating grin, "I don't even know what it is! But alright!" He stated pumping a fist, which caused nearly everyone to sweatdrop.

He had met his father's chakra inside of his seal, but that chakra faded away. The S-Rank Forbidden Ninjutsu that he had created, by completing his father's creation the Rasengan, was something that he wanted to show off to both his father and his teacher.

He had surpassed his teacher and completed his father's jutsu, but neither of them were alive to see it, and that saddened him.

A footstep was heard in the grass behind him, softly growing closer to him.

The Kyuubi Jinchuriki put a hand on his chin, 'Maybe its Sakura.' he thought, wait, if it was, was she coming to confess?! He leaned in closer to the screen with anticipation, what was going to happen next!?

Tsunade made a mental note to start instructing Naruto to pay more attention to his surroundings, he was ninja for god sake.

Momo was starting to lose interest. When was her part in the story supposed to come up? Or at least someone they knew. Her twin sister was feeling the opposite. She felt as if she wanted to comfort Naruto, in the story of course.

"Not careful." Yami stated, she was very attentive to her surroundings, and the fact that Naruto was allowing someone to creep up on him, took points away from him in her opinion. She hadn't even slept in years. Simply because of the fact she wouldn't allow anyone to sneak up on her.

Mea, "ZZZ" She stayed asleep.

Neji had a urge, the urge to sixty-four palm anything within his range. And that urge couldn't help but get stronger while thinking of him being in Naruto's situation.

"I'm stronger than Tsunade now, and shes the Hokage! I guess it's only a matter of time before I become the Hokage... everyone looks up to me now." Naruto stated as he looked up at the sky. "Now that I've gained their respect, they're calling me a hero." Naruto placed his hand on the grass next to him, and he shifted his legs a little.

Yami's eyes widened a bit, did she judge him wrongly? Had he actually sensed whoever was coming? And while his mind was sidetracked at that. She gave a shake of her head, she might be overestimating him.

Tsunade shared similar thoughts, and gave a snort. Surpass her? He might just be bluffing. But if he was a sage... It was possible. He might be just what the Leaf needed.

If he was able to master Sage Mode, that meant he had to be at her level or above.

Naruto was thoroughly shocked. He had gained their respect, he actually done it, so it wasn't impossible. For the first time in a long time, a genuine smile was on his face.

He felt a hand put on his head, He glanced over to the left to see Tsunade ruffling his hair with a smile on her face.

Sasuke didn't care.

Kiba wanted to know why the hell was Naruto a hero, as did Sakura.

...

"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

Not even a second later, Naruto appeared in a standing position, the clone he summoned transformed with a, "Henge!" and a large Fūma Shuriken that was half the size of Naruto's body appeared in his hand. His hand had shot out towards where he felt the presence of another being, connecting the oversized shuriken with the chest of his attacker.

Yami looked over to the other blond in the room, she was genuinely surprised, and she gained a sort of respect for him.

Tenten gave Naruto a look of approval for his fast thinking. He couldn't be considered a hero if he wasn't fast on his feet. So she slapped him on the back.

"Yosh Naruto-kun! A hero in the springtime of his youth! Show us just how powerful you've become!" Lee cried out with obvious respect in his voice.

Sasuke smirked, if his rival was caught off guard that easily he wouldn't be much of a rival in the first place. He looked down to see Naruto reflecting the same smirk on his face.

Naruto extended a hand.

Sasuke stared at it, then gave one back making a fist bump.

He was not surprised to see a curved blade pointed at his chest. It was after all, a chakra signature he didn't recognize.

She was shorter than he was, but her hair was blond just like his. Except his was a shade comparable to the sun, and hers had a more darker tone to it, but it was still vibrant in its own way. She had a slender body, it didn't possess much muscles but it was nothing to scoff at, but she didn't have really much fat either. She had moderately well sized breasts, it looked to be B-Cup, with an hourglass figure, and the hips to back it all up. She wore a black top without sleeves, and detached sleeves, with a silver cross in the mid section of the battle dress. She had cold red eyes that didn't show a single emotion in contrast to his warm blue eyes, and she had light peach skin. It was her right hand that was transformed into a curved sword, and she was showing surprise that he had sensed her and reacted in time.

"YAMI!?" Rito, Lala, Momo, Nana, and Mikan screamed out in shock, effectively waking Mea up in the process as she fell off the couch. "S-sis?" The purple haired girl groaned out.

Konoha's ninja recognized the girl and they had to say, it was kind of a shock indeed. So they all looked at her at the same time, sort of like a hive mind. Which she responded with a raised eyebrow.

This boy had to be her target if she was attacking him, not her fault she was going to end up killing him, even if he did get somehow lucky and detect her.

Momo thensmiled, this meant she did have a chance of appearing in the story! Maybe alongside Rito, though she kind of didn't like how Yami appeared before her.

They stayed in position.

"You sensed me, you're skilled." She spoke as she shifted her standing to her right leg. They both jumped back at the same time to make distance between them.

'Her skirt is really short, and also... are those bondage belts on her thighs... she has really nice thighs.' Naruto noticed as he looked her up and down. He noticed her getting ready to either attack, or react to an attack from him.

"Ecchi." A certain assassin stated as she glared harshly at Naruto, who could only chuckle and scratch the back of his head.

Maybe Jiraiya did corrupt him on his trip. If only a little.

Sakura debated punching Naruto, but decided against it because he was sitting with the Hokage sitting on the right of him. She wasn't going to make a scene in front of their leader.

Hinata had a sad gaze, she had hoped Naruto would look at her with eyes like those. And then she cast a glare onto the blonde alien, filled with a look of hate.

And jealousy.

Her arm turned back into a regular arm.

"But that doesn't matter, Uzumaki Naruto, you are my target."

"What do you mean target?" Naruto asked looking at her with a questioning look, she obviously wasn't akatsuki, she she was going to have to clarify. "I'm going to kill you." She stated simply.

Everyone in the room had to shiver at how cold it sounded.

Sasuke just took in the fact her arm was transforming. It was a interesting ability.

"Sorry..?" Was all Naruto could offer.

Her hair transformed into several blades, and they came down at a fast pace, aiming for several vital areas. Naruto spun his Fūma Shuriken, and repelled the blades heading for him, and taking hold of the blade coming for his head, he threw it down to the ground and jumped off of it.

Throwing his Fūma Shuriken at a scary speed that the unknown assassin had just barely dodged as it got stuck in the tree behind her, he took that chance of her being distracted to flick his right wrist and a kunai came shooting out into his hand, using his free left hand he drew a even set of four shuriken.

"Yeah, I'm a lot of people's target, still don't know who you are, be more clear with me, yeah?" Naruto asked as he coated the shuriken in wind chakra, then threw the shuriken in a motion that she thought was to block off her advances to move left or right. Naruto then took this chance of her distraction rush at the girl.

The girl had a look of surprise on her face, as she thought that this battle would be in her favor because she 'snuck' up on him. Seeing his rush towards her, she looked up to see a thick tree branch above her, she would gain some air, and slam down on him with a barrage of blades. Nodding at her little plan, she transformed her hair into a large hand and grabbed the tree branch and used it to try and yank her body up out of the way of the incoming ninja.

*Poof*

The Fuma Shuriken that turned back into a clone caught her leg while she was in the air from her attempted stunt, and slammed her into the ground causing her to let out a cry of pain.

She felt a cold metal pressed up on the back of her neck while she was postponed on the ground beneath the Naruto clone. She averted her eyes to see the original Naruto still on his trek towards her. She could stab this clone by making a blade of her hair, he was after all right on top of her.

*Poof*

Her eyes widened drastically to see the shuriken he threw not even two minutes ago become clones 'He created a multi-step combat strategy in mere moments, and followed through with his plan flawlessly. He diverted my attention with a false attack made to lure me into position, and then made me focus my attention on him and completely forget about the shurikens.' The assassin thought as she glanced back at Naruto. She looked for any weakness in his guard, and saw him only slightly lower his guard.

She used her eyes to look around and saw another Naruto on a tree behind the real Naruto with its legs crossed. Then she looked to the right to see a Naruto standing there with a blue orb rotating in its hand. Then looked to the left to see the other one with its hands held in what seemed to be in a hand seal, ready to fire off a jutsu at a moments notice.

"Who are you!?" Naruto, the one standing furthest away from her, who she assumed was the original, shouted as he looked at her with hardened blue eyes.

She was silent for a moment.

Holy shit. "Holy shit you got stronger! Nothing I couldn't do though!" Kiba said, with a tad bit of doubt in his voice, "Keh, shut up and respect the future Hokage dog-breath!" Naruto replied.

Sasuke had a surprised look on his face at seeing his rival come from such a long way. "Dobe.." Was all he had to say.

"How did the loser get so strong?" Ino asked blatantly, not expecting the show of skill. Tenten replied to Ino, "It was pretty cool." Tenten had a small blush on her face at her statement.

Neji only nodded, he expected nothing less from the one who opened his eyes those short few years ago.

The To Love-Ru group had been stunned, seeing her being taken down with ease, and the ninja hadn't even broken a sweat left them with nothing to say. Yami was the strongest they knew.

And Yami had even more respect for Naruto.

Mea had an enraged look on her face to say the least, it looked chaotic. And she looked at Naruto and directed all of her killing intent on him. Who to her surprise, just shrugged it off.

Tsunade looked over to Naruto, "Perfect example of a ninja. Always keep your guard up, have multiple stratedgies at a moments notice." Her voice full of pride.

Her mind went into overdrive.

"I am Golden Darkness. I came to this planet in order to capture you. I was instructed to go after you with intent to kill." Golden Darkness spoke as her red eyes glanced up, only briefly, before she shifted her hand downwards a little.

Naruto blinked.

"... to this planet... so you're an alien... that is so AWESOME!" Naruto and his clones all said in an excited shout, not doubting her for even a single moment when she stated that. He ended up dropping his guard completely when he shouted, and they just looked towards her with sparkles in their eyes.

Sakura had a unknowing frown on her face, she didn't like that someone had come such a long way to capture her friend, and if it was true, who gave the order? Was she lying to surprise Naruto to gain the upperhand?

Tsunade just raised a eyebrow, was this girl really a alien? Or just one of Orochimaru's experiments, because thats what it seemed like to her.

"The fuck? Aliens?" Kiba stated with a unbelieving face. Tenten's jaw dropped as she looked over to see an actual alien. "This is not a joke right?!" she asked the new 'Golden Darkness'

Hinata just stared with wide eyes.

Yami responded with an affirmative grunt and Tenten sped over towards her, "Can you make a blade right now!?" Not even a moment later, a silver curved blade appeared, "This is so coooool!" She shouted out, Yami was surprised to see someone that thought her transform ability was 'cool', Yami herself thought of it as a terrifying ability that could do nothing more than killing. Why would that be cool?

Naruto shot over like a rocket to Yami with sparkles in his eyes., "Ne ne, you wouldn't mind if I touched it right?" The other blond gave Naruto a nod. Running his hand up and down on the blade, he felt how smooth and sharp it was to the touch. "This... this is amazing!" Shocking Yami even further.

Neji tried to use the Byakugan to look at their structures, to find out he couldn't so he just looked at them with a curious look.

Sasuke looked over to the golden assassin then over to her group, then shared his thoughts. "Hn. Then what about those people behind you? Are they not human as well?"

"Yep!" Lala said in a loud tone, "Mhm." Nana said, feeling a little bit of pride with everyone looking at them with shocked faces. "Fufufu, we aren't just any aliens, we happen to be princesses." She said, referring to her sisters holding a hand out with a smile.

This statement surprised all of them even more, "Ah, I'm a human though." "Me too!" The Yuki sister and brother said, in which they got almost fully ignored by the ninja's who were focused on the aliens, all except one. "YOUTHFUL ALIENS WITH HUMAN FRIENDS! HOW RESPECTFUL!" A certain Bushy Brow told them, Rito and Mikan just sweatdropped.

Sadly, his clones had no self-preservation instinct in them, since they were clones, and Yami turned her leg into a spiked ball and hit the two behind her in the chest. They vanished in puffs of smoke before they realized what happened. While the clone to the right with a Rasengan looked at what was happening with shock, her hair stretched and turned into a dagger that stabbed him. She turned on her heel and ran towards Naruto. She passed through the smoke of dead clones, and turned her arm into a sword, coming up on him with a surprising newfound speed.

"You brat! I take back what I said." Tsunade then announced with a facepalm, Naruto just smiled sheepishly, he had to have planned more, so he would keep quiet and let the Hokage see for herself.

To Tsunade, he just gave an enemy the upper hand stupidly.

"Baka." Yami told him with a small smile, and Naruto had to admit, he wouldn't mind seeing more of that smile. So he just gave her a grin.

Naruto in a last ditch effort threw the kunai he had in his hand at her , she responded by leaning her head to the right in the midst of her sprint, letting it pass by her face.

She stabbed that Naruto threw the stomach.

*Poof*

When she stabbed it in the stomach, she heard two puffs of smoke. The first being the clone, who she had thought was the original, vanishing. The second came from behind her, and as she turned around, she saw that Naruto was standing in place of the kunai that the clone had thrown earlier. He had the shuriken he was holding earlier in his hand as well, cementing this as the original Naruto in her mind.

'... That entire plan was just a ruse! He created a multi-layered, multi-step plan, predicting my actions! He figured that I would assume that the Naruto standing furthest away from me was the original, and transformed himself into the kunai!' Golden Darkness thought with widened eyes. She was still in the same position of attacking as earlier, having stumbled forward because of her failed attempt on Naruto's life.

Yami had never knew anyone that could do this to her, she looked at the whiskered teen with wide eyes, he had her figured out from the start.

"Y-yami-neechan is losing?" Mea questioned with a shocked look.

She couldn't fully dodge when Naruto threw even more shuriken at her, she didn't have enough time to transform her hair and escape, and none of her other transformations would allow her the speed to escape the quick moving shuriken.

She would have to break past her limits to dodge. Put her all into it.

So she did. Leaning out of the way of two of the shuriken, but the third one he threw gave her a not-to-shallow cut across her arm as she placed her hand against the grass to correct herself as quickly as possible. She watched as Naruto held out a hand and a blue sphere of pure energy swirled to life. Naruto vanished from sight and appeared before her.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he moved his armed hand towards her chest. His eyes widened for a moment, before he pulled his arm back, stopping himself from hitting her with his attack.

Why was he suddenly holding back? Was a shared thought between them all.

Mikan just had a scared face, Yami could actually end up being killed in this battle, and different universe or not, that was something she didn't want to see. But then again she didn't want the other guy 'Naruto' to die either.

He stood in front of her, attack in hand.

He clicked his teeth and the Rasengan faded away safely, while she rolled onto her feet, and hopped away from him.

'... The grave, he stopped his attack because he didn't want to destroy the grave. He's been fighting to avoid damaging the grave.' Golden Darkness could see that she had been in front of the grave Naruto had been talking to earlier when he nearly attacked her. With a moment to breath, her hair lifted up and formed twelve curved blades, all pointed towards Naruto. "You're extremely skilled, and the way you incorporate transformation with strategy is something I'll take note of." Golden Darkness spoke with respect for abilities that deserved respect.

Ah, now it made sense, he didn't want to destroy Jiraiya's grave stone, the ninja could understand attacking an opponent while they had their defenses low.

Didn't mean they were okay with it though.

He was foolish not to attack her, and more than likely kill her, while he had the chance. Foolishness in not finishing her aside, she could respect the amount of skill that he had shown.

Her eyes scanned the area though.

"Looking for more clones?" Naruto asked her with a wide, cocky smirk on his face. He drew a new kunai from his pouch, before he looked towards Jiraiya's grave marker. '... I can't use any destructive techniques... I better stick to the basics, distractions and Taijutsu it is.' Naruto's eyes scanned over the area, looking for what he could use.

Taijutsu wasn't the smartest option, mostly because of the way she had a strange ability to transform and control her body parts, but it was still better than using destructive Ninjutsu.

Sasuke almost snorted. Naruto always had clones.

"Do you have more hidden?" Golden Darkness honestly asked him.

He seemed the type to answer.

"So you don't know then?" Naruto's answer came with a playful grin as he teased her with knowledge she wanted.

"You're very annoying."

"Says the one interrupting me when I was visiting my teacher." Naruto reminded her with a more serious look. She didn't look ashamed, she lowered her stance, and leaned forward. She pointed a few of the hair blades behind herself, just incase he had another clone in her blind spot.

He did have a point.

"It's best to attack the target when their defenses are down, and they are alone. A basic rule of assassination." Golden Darkness stated to Naruto.

Rito had a frown on his face, so this was what Yami did before meeting him? Mikan shared these thoughts.

Mea stared intently, would her sister lose and die in this battle? Or could she possibly go into her Darkness form? The outcome of the fight was hard to tell and it scared her bit by bit.

The battle resumed.

It was an unspoken que for them to fight. They ran towards each other, and Golden Darkness knew she had the edge in length over him. Her hair, while she was running, stretched towards Naruto with the blades getting prepared to stab him. He was several meters away from her, while her blades were only now inches away from his skin.

"Yes."

Naruto's words were clear, and when her blades made contact with his skin, her eyes widened when he gained more speed. Her blades shattered against his body completely, and Naruto cleared the distance between them faster than she was capable of tracking with her eyes. Not even her trained instincts allowed her to react in time when she saw him inches a way from her.

His eyes had transformed, changing color from blue to yellow, with bar shaped pupils, and an he had orange pigmentation above his eyes.

"Sage Mode!?" Tsunade cried out, so he actually was able to do it?!

Sasuke's eyes widened,so this was Sage Mode? Blades shattered against the body.. Thats useful. He wanted Sage Mode for himself.

"How powerful!" Rock Lee stated, it was almost as if Naruto was using the eight gates. Rock Lee couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for his friend.

Sakura looked over to her Kage, "This is Sage Mode?"

Naruto just grinned, he didn't know what the fuck was going on, or how he got this power, but it seemed he could fuck shit up with it! So he was cool with it!

Tsunade gave a nod and proceeded to explain. "Sage Mode is a state you can achieve by taking in natural energy and blending it with your normal chakra. This creates Senjutsu Chakra. Senjutsu Chakra allows you access to the natural force of the planet, this opens up new techniques to the user and gives a huge boost in strength, speed, and durability."

Nana looked very intrigued at this, it seemed as if Naruto had a toad or a frogs eyes, and tapping into the natural force of the planet? That seemed like something she would like. She sadly didn't have this 'Chakra' though.

Mea frowned, if someone was using a planets strength, they actually could be able to defeat her sister. If Yami wanted to get out of this she needed her Darkness form.

Yami had a unpleasant look on her face. She was going to die for her first experience in another world? To be frank, that sucked. And everyone was watching her get her ass kicked as well.

Kiba blinked back in shock, "Damn! I need to get me some of that!" He then said loudly, Tsunade gave him a shake of her head. "You can't just 'get some of that' with Senjutsu Chakra, you need extreme levels of Chakra, you need a rack of it if you want to learn it."

Kiba just raised a eyebrow at her cockily, "If that's how it is, I'm sure with a few months of training I can do it easily."

Hinata looked at Kiba with a irritated face, did he understand just how much Chakra Naruto had? "Kiba, if you compare Naruto's Chakra with yours, its like a drop of water in a cup, next to the ocean." Tsunade then said.

It was Naruto's turn to be shocked, he didn't know he had THAT much Chakra, atleast he knew he was better than Kiba though.

Kiba let out a annoyed growl, -Bark- "Oh shut up Akamaru." He told the dog.

Naruto placed two fingers against her sternum.

Golden Darkness was knocked backwards by an unbelievable amount of raw physical force. The wind was ejected roughly from her lungs both when she felt his touch hit her, and when she was sent flying into a tree. Her body broke through the tree, before she continue her path and was stopped by another tree. Not without putting a large, cracked dent in the second tree. Spit came from her open mouth, and words escaped her as she collapsed onto her hands and knees, catching her breath the best that she could.

"...Two fingers?" Yami said disappointed. She was put down with two fingers? That hurt her pride, a lot. She looked to see Mea giving her a worried glance. She gave her a nod. If she was to die, then she was.

Just sucked how it was two fingers.

Naruto just shrugged, "Not my fault, should've never attacked the next Hokage." He said, mimicking Sasuke's voice all the way.

To Neji he thought of it as a Jyuken strike and it was amusing to him.

Sasuke almost laughed at the mimicking, "Dobe, how did you get Sage Mode?" He asked.

"No clue! Onto the story!" Naruto pointed to the TV.

"When I created my first strategy, I did create another clone. While you were distracted by figuring out a way to escape my clones, I had another clone nearby gathering natural energy. I taunted you into rushing towards me, because I knew you would use your longer reach to hit me first." Naruto explained to her as he appeared before her. Even when she regained her breath, and looked up towards him, her torso hurting enough to keep her down, she saw that Naruto was holding the kunai her threw earlier at her face.

Despite having caught her breath, it was hard for her to breath, and talk to him normally. The blow to her body had caused damage through out her entire body, not just her torso.

They all winced. Two fingers did damage throughout the entire body?

'... I thought he was an idiot, but his battle strategy is so effective it couldn't belong to anyone but a genius. This entire battle, since he second I showed my ability to him, he picked apart how I fought and created a plan that took advantage of my abilities.' Golden Darkness looked at Naruto with admiration for his shown skills. Even though she was more than likely going to die, she was going to appreciate just how skilled the opponent who would be her killer, had turned out to be.

Naruto let out a loud bellow of laughter, "Thats the first time I've been called a genius!"

Yami was confused, "What do you mean?"

It was Tsunade's turn to answer, "He's known as Konoha's Number One Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja. He's far from a genius, little assassin."

"And he's the class dobe!" Kiba called out to her with a laugh. Naruto's eyebrow twitched.

Yami and Mea shivered, if that was a dead last, what was a genius like?

"Oh believe me Kiba, if he has mastered Sage Mode, Naruto is basically the strongest defense the village has." Tsunade put Kiba down with that simple statement.

And she cleared Yami's fears.

It was Sasuke's turn to be surprised. "Dobe, when you learn Sage Mode. Teach it to me." He stated montonely.

"As long as you come back to the village teme." Sasuke thought it was a fair trade, Orochimaru had nothing else he could teach him anyway. And besides, if he had the Kyuubi working with him, he was pretty sure he could beat Itachi.

So he nodded.

Sakura was stunned into silence, "Seriously?"

Sasuke and Naruto looked at her, "What?/Hn."

Naruto wasn't going to tell Sasuke he would turn into a Toad. A toad Sasuke in the village was something he could work with. At least he didn't break his promise.

The entire battle, she had just been playing into his hands as he studied her abilities, and formulated a plan that turned her strength into a weakness.

Her opponent was amazing.

"Yami! No!" Mikan yelled, her friend dying was something she never wanted to see.

Yami her a sad look.

"We done now?" Naruto asked as he dodged the kunai from his hand and sat down on the ground in front of her. His eyes turned back to blue, and he grinned at her, completely relaxing in front of her.

What?/"What?"

"Did you just drop you're guard infront of an opponent? Twice?!" Tsunade screamed right in his ear, "She's beaten already! Jeez!" She couldn't help being mad at Naruto.

It was like he could be a ninja sometimes, then he wasn't.

She sent Naruto a grateful look, he was sparing her. He responded with a thumbs up and a foxy grin.

Mea was angered but happy. Her sister got beaten, so yes she was angry. But she was spared, so she was happy for that.

Hinata smiled at Naruto, already knowing he was going to do this. But then frowned seeing him smiling at Yami.

"I'm sorry?" Golden Darkness didn't know what to make of this.

"You're not the first person to try and kill me, and you won't be the last. You're clearly not with the Akatsuki, so who hired you, and why me?" Naruto asked Golden Darkness with laid back grin.

Lala liked that, it reminded her of Rito. Naruto and Rito were nice people.

Mikan stood up and dragged Yami with her, she then walked over to Naruto with Yami in tow. And she bowed to Naruto, pushing Yami's head down with her.

"Thank you Naruto!" Oh, so she was thanking him?

"Thank you. Naruto." A monotone voice said, but for Naruto, he had experience speaking with Gaara, so he was able to tell the gratefulness in her voice. "Don't mention it!"

The two then got out of there bowing posture, but seats appeared right next to Naruto, Mikan and Yami looked at each other before giving each other a silent agreement.

Yami sat next to Naruto, Mikan sat next to Yami.

Hinata shook with a anger. Why was she getting so much attention from Naruto, then she went out of her way to sit next to him? Was she trying to make her move on him?

Mea laughed. She could sense Hinata's anger, and normally she would be in a confused state as to why Yami was doing this, but seeing Hinata's anger she couldn't help but be amused at it.

"A man... named Orochimaru... sent a message..."

At this, all of the ninja were angered. It was always Orochimaru. Sasuke chuckled. He felt this coming.

"Orochimaru is dead, killed by my friend Sasuke." Naruto mentioned to Golden Darkness with a deadpan voice. His tone was serious, but also kind of playful if that were possible. She blinked and looked at him in surprise.

Now Sasuke was surprised, so his plan worked out in the end? He smiled, that was great, and if he knew anything, Jiraiya was a Sage and couldn't beat Orochimaru, so that meant he was above Sage level? So he was on Naruto's level essentialy.

Tsunade was surprised. Jiraiya couldn't kill Orochimaru, but Sasuke could?

"So does this mean, you will come back to the village?" Sakura asked, slightly stuttering. "Yeah Sasuke-kun! Without Orochimaru you can come back now!" Ino said right after Sakura.

Sasuke was annoyed, why were they so obsessed with him? "Hn." That was the only reply they were going to get from him.

Killing Itachi was all he wanted.

Rock Lee was just surprised his Cherry blossom (Sakura) love would still be obsessed with Sasuke even in another universe. It was a saddening thought.

Golden Darkness frowned.

She held her chest in pain as she sat backwards, and she winced even as she bowed forward and gave Naruto the apology he deserved.

"I apologize, with my contractor dead, it seems I have no reason to target you anymore. The information I was given about you was incorrect anyway. You were detailed as an idiotic, lucky, fool who couldn't do anything but throw around his power. You're clearly a skilled ninja, capable of stealth and cunning tactics, though the idiot part seems true at first glance." Golden Darkness didn't see as Naruto's face became more sour with each word that she spoke following her apology.

"Even dead he's being a shithead." He couldn't have been a little nicer when hiring an assassin to kill him?

Everyone chuckled at that.

Orochimaru, the asshole, couldn't have been a little nicer when hiring an assassin to kill him?

Seriously, super rude.

Tsunade laughed, the way Naruto's mindset worked was extremely amusing.

'Seriously, that dude, even in death, is such a bastard. It's not surprise he was able to make contact with aliens though, bastard was a genius.' Naruto looked over Golden Darkness, before she tried to stand up.

Now that he thought of it, how did he make contact with aliens?

She fell back down.

"Ah!"

"Careful, I might have broken your ribs Yami... Actually I'm pretty sure I did break your ribs. Here, I'll help you up. We'll get you fixed up, I know a few medic ninja who will heal you on my account." Naruto promised her as he grabbed her by the hand, hefting her arm around his shoulder, assisting her in standing.

Mikan looked over to Yami, "Even in another world your stuck with that name." She chuckled.

Yami smiled, she did like the name after all. She appreciated how Naruto helped her stand up instead of just leaving her in a forest with broken ribs.

'Yami?' Golden Darkness thought to herself with raised eyebrow at Naruto.

She lurched over in pain.

Everything still hurt.

"Heheheh, you noticed that... yeah, Golden Darkness is long, so I'm going to call you Yami (Darkness) for short." Naruto laughed with slightly red cheeks, having been caught in his nickname giving. He had a habit of giving people nicknames that he believed suited them. "I'm sorry about hurting you, by the way, I didn't mean to hit you this hard. Honestly, I just thought it would be best to end the fight quickly." Naruto explained when he saw the pained look on her face.

Then Yami's smile disappeared. While she was fighting seriously trying to kill him, he was worried about how to end the fight without hurting her too much, and he was going out the way to find someone to heal her.

It warmed her chest a little. Weirdly enough.

He gave her a thumbs up with his free hand.

Sage Mode was his quickest way to end the fight without spilling blood, although he did leave her in poor condition. He held back when using his Frog Kumite by only using two fingers, since a full hand would kill most opponents with a clean hit, but he knew that the attack would do a lot of internal damage.

They all winced, two fingers put her down for the count, and she was an assassin, a punch would have most likely killed anyone.

'Uzumaki Naruto, you're very strange...' Yami thought to herself as she glanced up at Naruto. "Call me what you wish, it doesn't matter much to me." Yami spoke softly as she looked around. "I'm thankful you didn't kill me." Yami mentioned to Naruto as they started to walk towards the village crater.

From her spaceship, she had seen the sorry state that Naruto's home village was in, and she knew where they were heads.

All the Konoha ninja were alarmed, sorry state of the village?

Were they attacked?

Or was she just insulting the village?

"I try to avoid killing if I think I can talk to my enemy. Though, I'm still going to give a beating to those who need one." Naruto raised his fist up with a grin, thinking of a few people who could use a good beating.

"Ow."

People who would get those beatings after he got Yami healed.

Naruto gave a sheepish grin.

Yami looked at him with a blank face, Naruto didn't miss the small smile she held.

Tsunade saw the interaction and smiled.

Hinata scowled.

Mea laughed.

They soon heard the weird engine/train sound once more, and they saw another animation like the one they saw earlier start to play. "Ooh! Maybe this time it'll say Ino instead of Naruto!" Ino said out loud.

"Nah! How much you bet it'll say Kiba!" A certain dog lover stated patting his chest.

Sasuke had hopes it'd be him too, "Hn."

"No Ino-Pig! Not you either Kiba! It'll be a love story of me and Sasuke!" She said holding her hands together with hearts in her eyes.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched.

A certain pink haired first princess shook her head, "No! It'll be me and Rito!"

'No it'll be Rito's harem chronicles!' Momo thought.

Nana twirled her hair.

Mikan wanted to see Yami.

Kimi to boku nigirishimeta

And they were treated to a sight of a younger Naruto looking downwards with his hair flowing in the wind.

"Naruto again!?" Kiba cried out, "Shut up Dog-breath! Just watch!"

Most of them felt the same, they had wanted to see something else, but it was Naruto again. Perhaps the story was fully revolving around Naruto?

Futatsu no te no naka de

Sasuke then appeared behind Naruto, looking as if he was falling down, a streak of light connected them both.

Sasuke grinned. So he was in it, dope.

Umare ta hikari ima, hanatō

Then Naruto and Sasuke became two blue lights, shrunk down into a sphere and Sakura appeared and took hold of it.

"Nani?! Im in it now!?" Sakura said with confusion/excitement in her voice. 'CHA!' Her inner voice stated, pumping a fist.

Ino was annoyed, why was Sakura in it instead of her?

But what was this supposed to be symbolizing was the question, something they all were wondering.

Then the screen shifted to show the Hokage Rock, or the Hokage Monument, changing to show the buildings of Konoha and a stream where a fish jumped out, then showing a snowy training ground.

"Your village. Its beautiful." Yami said as she looked Naruto, she enjoyed the classic look of Konoha. It was different than the towering buildings in cities. This was more her style.

"I agree." Mikan said to Yami.

"Thanks, but you should say that to be saying that to granny!" Naruto informed her, Yami just tilted her head in confusion. "Granny is the Hokage! This lady right h- ACK" He got wacked on top of his head from the busty blonde woman.

"What he means to say is, that is my village. I am the leader of it, hence the Hokage." She told Yami with a look of approval. Yami nodded.

Hinata just watched silently.

Kohaku iro no yūya keni somerareta

Next the screen shifted to show Sakura once more sitting down in what looked like a weird type of alley way as shadows of people walked past her.

Sakura smiled more vibrantly as she took in the sight of her, but then frowned a little seeing how sad she looked in the animation.

"Who's singing?" Rito asked, everyone looked at him and gave a shrug.

He sweatdropped.

Machi ha kanashī hikari to kage utsushite ita.

Then the screen had changed to show something that was completely unexpected, seeing as most of the scenes were not people of Lala's universe.

It was Yami shown in the same surrounding as Sakura, but with a sun shining down only onto her.

"Yami?" Momo said, breaking everyone out of their stupor.

"Ah... Me." Was all Golden Darkness said.

Momo had chances, so she could appear in the video! Great!

Nana moved her head to the tune of the music.

Mea just decided to point out, "Isn't it weird that you see Naruto a lot? And in the animation before Naruto was shown climbing a... lantern staircase? To reach that guy," Pointing at Sasuke, who's eye twitched. "And now he appears this time, behind Naruto. I don't think its a coincidence."

Now that they thought about it, she had a point.

"N-Naruto and Sasuke have been life long rivals, s-since the academy." Hinata for the first time in a while, spoke out.

"Hmm, I have a hunch. But I'm going to keep it to myself." Mea said with a look that just showed how hard she was thinking.

They shrugged. Back to the animation.

Ikutsumo no kiseki no ito
Tsunagatte karamatte tadori tsuita yo

Then the screen shifted to show multiple people, many of which who were in the room, it had trailed downwards in streaks of white. Those who recognized themselves decided to cut in at that very moment.

"Its me!"

"And me too!"

"Don't forget me!"

"Oh lookie! I finally show up!"

"Now I can show just how dazzling my looks are!"

"Heh! Finally my time to shine!"

"YOUTH!"

And Tsunade, didn't say anything, just paid rapt attention to the screen.

The To Love-Ru Pact, except Yami, Mea, and Mikan had took to questioning where they were, and were getting effectively worried for their not showing up in the animation where as everyone on the ninja side had.

Hajimeru no wa ima, kono basho kara

Next the animations changed to show Naruto walking forward, in a white silhouette, with darkness all around him.

"Im tired of seeing the dobe! Jeez!" Kiba groaned out.

Then the screen changed to show Sasuke, in the same white silhouette as Naruto, walking on the opposite side, almost as if they were walking towards each other.

"Well this seems, ironic." Tsunade then said. She deemed it odd Naruto and Sasuke always seemed connected to eachother. These visions... pictures.. or whatever they were seeing on the screen just kept validating that thought. They were connected, but how? Why did everything seem to revolve around these two?

Mea nodded to Tsunade. It came out as her theory was to be somewhat correct.

Then the screen had spaced out to show what seemed to be foggy. It then cleared to show Naruto and Sasuke standing across from each other, Naruto moving a hand upwards, a headband in its place. Sasuke, who adjusted his dark blue wrist warmers, quickly moving back to Naruto, who tied a headband around his head.

"What's about to happen? Tsunade-shisou?" Sakura asked her teacher, this thought was shared by almost everyone in the room, although they had a clear idea of what looked like was going to happen.

The fifth hokage gave a unclear look to her student, "It looks like they are going to have one last final showdown."

Sakura grimaced. She no longer wanted Naruto and Sasuke to fight, Naruto was fighting for her, and getting hurt because of her. Solely because of her, would he even care fighting if she didn't make him promise to bring Sasuke back?

Naruto and Sasuke looked at one another, and they both nodded.

"Bring it on, dobe."

"Right back at you teme!"

The oldest of the Devilukean princesses was shaking with excitement, "A battle between two ninja?! And they are right here in front of us too! Hehe!" Lala then gave Naruto and Sasuke a look, "Hey hey! So what can you guys do!? Who's gonna win!? Are you the bad guy and Naruto's the good guy!?"

She bombarded them with questions and they could only sweatdrop at her. "Lala, just watch and see, jeez. No need to get that excited." Rito told her, although secretly, he wanted a piece of the action too. He almost shook with anticipation.

Yami had no doubt Naruto would win, after all, if he beat her soundly, he could definitely take down this other guy with no problem right? At least she hoped he would win. He did save her. It would be a shame if he would be taken down.

She looked at the screen and created her own personal tension with it, she genuinely hoped Naruto would win.

Then a thought came to her, why would she hope he would win?

He was just some random guy who decided to save her right? So why was she having this... weird effect towards him?

Yami glanced at Naruto, who was giving a bright grin looking towards the screen.

Her heart sped up to a unbelieveable speed.

She could hear it thumping.

Could he hear it too?

And almost on cue, the whiskered teen looked down at her, "You're acting really weird, you okay?" He asked with a questioning look on his face.

She felt like she could trust him. And they barely new each other for a hour, who was he?

The only one she trusted was Mikan.

He had barely uttered more than a paragraph to her, and she felt like she wanted to stand with him.

To be by his side.

How did he feel so close to her?

This was dangerous.

He was dangerous.

She wanted to get away from him.

But her body wouldn't listen to her.

Seeing the warmth in those blue eyes.

They reminded her of simpler times. 'Tear.'

Tearju. He felt like Tearju, but different.

"Y-yes." And she stuttered, would he believe her? Would he think she was lying? Why was she worrying about this? Naruto's eyes lost the worried look in them, "Alright, good!" He then gave her a grin and looked back to the screen.

Seeing that smile, Yami felt her heart flutter.

She then came to a realization.

Their was something in her, drawn to him. But what could that be? And then it made sense. The 'Darkness'.

Her Darkness was calling out to him.

Like a puzzle missing a piece, and he was the piece she needed.

No one really understood her Darkness form, but the information was imprinted into her back on planet Kild.

Before she went into a frenzied rage and sliced it in half of course.

Her Darkness form is a state that she can achieve by accessing her hidden potential. This hidden potential being the energy that these humans used in the 'Naruto' world, as she now dubbed it. Chakra.

Her Darkness form was accessing her chakra, as far as she knew, following Tearju's expulsion from Eden, the scientists affiliated with the clan named 'Otsutsuki', they implanted a program called "Darkness" into her.

It gave her a wild influx of chakra she could not control.

Hell, she didn't even know how to activate it.

But when it did come out, it effects her physically. Drastically changing her appearance, and granting her powers beyond anything thought possible.

A power capable of destroying the universe.

So why was it calling out to him?

She closed her eyes, to get a feel for the chakra Naruto gave off.

It was an ability she thought useless to her, seeing as she had yet to meet anyone but herself with it. She only used it when she drew her power out on purpose back on planet Kild.

And then she felt it.

A incredible warmth, a overwhelming power that Naruto gave off.

This chakra he had, it far exceeded even Darkness, it dwarfed everyone in the room's own measly chakra.

And it felt comforting. Like it was wrapping her in a warm and cozy blanket.

No wonder Darkness was calling out to him.

With power on this scale, it only made sense. So just how powerful was he? She couldn't hold it in anymore.

This power, it made her feel fuzzy inside.

She looked down at his hand.

And she couldn't stop herself from putting her own on it.

She was just surprised when he grabbed her hand as well, looking up into his eyes.

She didn't even have it in her to blush. The feeling was overwhelming. "Warm." She said without thinking.

XXXXX R; T.C.A.C XXXXX

Naruto wasn't no sensor by any means, nope. But he could tell when someone specifically sensed him out. Hell, every ninja could. It was second nature to them.

It was what made them ninjas.

So when he saw the little blonde girl reaching out for his hand, who was he to not grab it back?

Especially when she looked so adorable, blushing and everything! What a nice girl.

He could feel it, the girls own chakra looked to be trying come into contact with his own. So he spiked his chakra and wrapped it around hers.

Back on the trip with Jiraiya, he learned that wrapping your chakra around another's was to show trust and to comfort the other. And she was giving him a free chance to do it.

She reminded him of Gaara, maybe when they got back, he could introduce her to him, they could maybe even start dating!

They acted so much alike it could work!

Did Gaara even have a girlfriend..? Nah. He didn't think so.

Naruto nodded in acceptance.

After this was all over, he would hook them up.

He wasn't much of a wing man, but he had his experiences with the Pervy Sage. And he was damn sure he could get Gaara a girlfriend.

Naruto gazed into the other blondes eyes. Her deep red eyes were pretty. Gaara had red hair! This could work perfectly.

They already had so many things in common!

"Warm."

He blinked, his hand was warm? Well yeah, he just had it in his pockets not even five minutes ago. Smiling at the girl he gave her his own opinion on her, "You have pretty cool eyes." She quickly looked away, her cheeks taking on a pink shade.

Naruto didn't mean it in a flirtatious way, he was just telling the truth. She had some cool eyes.

But seeing her flush made it absolutely adorable. He made a note to compliment her more often.

Then he felt a spike, a spike of anger. It was in his direction as well, it wasn't directed toward anyone else but him. Or at least, him and Yami. He could feel it as clear as day. Having hate directed at you since before the day you could walk did that to you.

Was it Sasuke? Looking in the direction of the energy, it disappeared just as quickly as it came.

Hinata?

Why would Hinata... Unless.

Naruto had to mentally groan.

He knew Hinata liked him. More or less.

He just didn't have it in him to reject the poor girl, so he pretended to be oblivious to it. He was dense, yes, but not that dense. And he wasn't really doing anything.

Except holding a girls hand and complimenting her eyes.

Rolling his eyes, he looked back down to the flushed assassin.

She looked too adorable. 'Yosh! Imouto is the best!' He had to hold back the urge to pump a fist with those thoughts.

She was like the little sister he never had.

Or something like that, it was different in a way. Sakura felt like the little sister he never had.

Yami felt a tad bit different.

Naruto never truly liked Sakura. He just wanted something to beat Sasuke at.

And that's as far as those feelings went.

He then looked back to the screen.

Ame nochi hare ano kumo ni nare ima wo oyoide yuku

sono kokoro shibaritsuketeru tamerai furi hodoite

Naruto and Sasuke then withdrew a Kunai and Kusanagi respectively. Then proceeded to engaged in a furious bout of clashes in the rain, glaring at each other the whole while.

Naruto's eyes hardened, this was a battle he couldn't afford to lose. His brother in all but blood was just about equal in strength as he was in this fight. Unbeknownst to him, Saskuke shared the same thoughts.

"Yeah! Kick his ass Naruto!" Kiba yelled out, Tsunade wanted to yell too, but she knew to keep her compusure. They both wanted to see Sasuke get his ass handed to him. Sakura almost glared at Kiba.

Yami's eyes widened at the battle, was this how much he had held back? But he didn't have those strange eyes he once used earlier. Was it something he could use only in the other dimension? Because this Naruto had a red cloak. Seeing Naruto take a heavy kick to the stomach made her tighten her hold on his hand.

Naruto's eyes widened a bit in surprise before gazing down to Yami, he saw the worry in her eyes as she watched him and Sasuke throw down.

'She's worried about me?' He thought, he squeezed her hand back reassure her, and she looked back up at him, her face steadily growing more red. "Don't worry about me! I'll be fine -ttebayo!" Ah, his verbal tic came out.

She smiled, tilted her head slightly, and nodded. Had Naruto been a lesser ninja, he would've glomped the girl there and then.

How could something so adorable exist?

Yami never noticed her best friend looking at her with a smile.

"Yoosshhh! Naruto's flames of youth are shining brightly!" Konoha's handsome green beast called out. Neji offered him a nod, Ino just watched silently and intently.

Sakura looked between Naruto and Sasuke, then raised a eyebrow, was Naruto... trying to flirt or something? Whatever, it did look cute after all. The younger blonde was looking up at him with such a pleasant look on her face it was hard to believe it was Naruto of all people she was looking at.

So she shrugged and was going to go back to the screen, but then she remembered something, how would Hinata feel about this? So she gave the girl a look in her direction, and the look on her face shocked her.

Hinata's face looked wrinkled in rage as she glared at the two. It was a face Sakura never thought Hinata could do. And she shivered.

The girl looked like she was going to lose her shit right there and then.

"Uwoooh! Ninja fight!" Lala bellowed out, Nana's jaw dropped, she wasn't sure if she could fight on that level, how were humans even capable of this?

Weren't they all just flimsy and weak like Rito? No offense of course.

Momo shed all thoughts of adding the ninja women to Rito's harem. They would break him.

Mea however had the opposite thoughts. She thought it would be fun to have the ninja females in the harem.

Kimi to boku nigirishimeta

The screen then shifted to show Sakura standing under a tree, looking down wearing a blue nightgown, then tilting her head up, her head moving with her as she did.

Ino raised a eyebrow, "Look at forehead girl trying to be cute."

Sasuke thought it was pretty. And he squashed those thoughts immediately.

Naruto was confused, why did they change the screen from the fight? He needed to know who would win their final battle!

Mea started out with her hunch although, "It seems to revolve around Naruto, the black duck butt hair, the pinky, and Yami-oneechan!"

And they all blinked at that. She was right. They all looked towards Sasuke, who just grunted.

Then towards Sakura, who blushed in embarrassment.

Then they looked at Naruto and Yami, who were holding hands.

They blinked again.

Momo was confused. Wasn't Rito the only one she was comfortable with holding hands with? Why would she do it with a stranger? And look so comfortable too?

Kiba wiggled his eyebrows but said nothing. If his friend wanted to get close with the cute blonde chick, who who was she to judge?

Lee flashed Naruto a thumbs up.

Neji looked at Hinata.

Hinata had a frown with a glare.

Sakura had leaned in to get a better look, if they were going to show her off some more, she might as well right?

Futatsu no te no naka de

Then the screen changed and went on to show Yami standing beside a lake, a rock to her back, and she wore the same nightgown as Sakura, but it was blue instead of purple. Then zooming up to see her clutching her hands together while she closed her eyes as if she was hoping for something.

"Hehe! Look, you're wishing for my success!" Naruto told her, referencing the battle in a joking manner. She glanced up at him with a smile, "Of course."

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you two were a couple." Tsunade said to them with her eyes closed and her arms crossed. Hinata fumed.

'Why is she getting the attention I worked so hard to get? The attention I deserve.' Hinata thought. It was plain as day she wasn't hiding her hate for the girl.

Mea stood up, "Ah ha! I was right!" She pointed at Yami with one hand, and Sakura with the other.

They both looked at her with a questioning look on their faces, "What?/Huh?"

Nana yanked her pony tail, "Sit down and watch the show!" Nana had just about enough with all the interruptions. She was trying to focus on what came next.

"Fuf-" Momo had a brick thrown at her. No one knew where it came from. No one asked.

Kieru kotonai kimi no akashi

The screen then showed Naruto raising a hand up, green ripples emerging into the air, swirling around his arm. He then threw his arm outwards as raging winds covered his body in a defensive orb, his cape blowing furiously in the wind behind him from the pressure, then he charged forward at blinding speeds.

"Damn brat! That's some control over Futon!(Wind)" Tsunade told Naruto with slightly widened eyes. Naruto was shocked as well, hell, he didn't even know he had an affinity for wind.

"Looks like Gai-Sensei's Hirudora! But smaller!" Lee said with admiration, 'Looks like a Kaiten(Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven).' A certain Hyuga thought.

Nana gave a grin, she wouldn't mind seeing more fights like this, maybe Naruto could fight her dad. She giggled, 'Naruto would lose but it would be fun to see!' Nana thought.

'Go! Naruto-kun!' You should know who this is.

Sakura worried for Sasuke. It looked like this attack might just rip right through the raven-haired teen. "Yeah Naruto!" Ino cut in.

"Cool." Yami said to Naruto, trying to compliment him back for what he said about her eyes. "Of course!" Naruto replied back, referencing her own words.

She smiled, she felt so at peace with the taller boy it was on an entirely new level. How could someone get so close to her in just a hour? It made no sense, but she had no problems with it.

Sasuke frowned, if Naruto was readying up some type of attack, what was he doing?

Lala was wondering if she should make a device that could enable her to control wind on the scale Naruto was doing it with.

Jiyū na sono ryōte de

Then the animation shifted to show Sasuke yelling out in what seemed to be anger, his hands cackling madly with lightning dancing around them. He then clasped his hands together, and he gained a defensive orb of lightning, similar to Naruto's wind orb. He then charged forward to clash with Naruto.

Naruto grinned at Sasuke, who smirked back at him.

"Wind beats Lightning, so this outcome is predictable." Tsunade stated, "But I am impressed nonetheless." Sasuke's smirk had vanished and in its place stood a scowl.

Sakura started rooting for Naruto. She didn't know why, but she did. She felt like she had to.

Neji wanted to know if he could do that with a Kaiten(Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven).

"Keh! Naruto has this in the bag!" A certain Inuzuka proclaimed with a triumphant voice.

Koko kara mata hajimeyō

Next an explosion of blue and green filled the area, taking in damn near everything on the screen.

"Well... damn!" Nana said after a short silence.

Lala clapped a hundred times a second, "Ninja! Ninja! Ninja!" She cheered.

"Naruto you better not lose!" Ino tried to scold him, "I'm placing my bet on Naruto." Tsunade said, flicking a coin she got from god knows where.

Then the screen cleared to show a younger Naruto and Sasuke, sitting and standing next to one another.

"So no one won?" Nana questioned disappointedly, that wasn't the outcome she was looking for.

"Mou! What a let down!" Lala shot her hands up in exasperation.

Naruto couldn't help but be a little peeved that he couldn't see the fights conclusion. Even with Yami squeezing his hand to calm down his irritation.

Sasuke felt the same.

"Teme, when we get back, fight me."

"Don't go crying when you get your ass kicked."

"Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of leaving the village, you're coming right back?"

"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer."

"Oho! Then come as close as you like!"

"Dobe."

"Teme!"

And that was all she wrote.
