Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter and I will be skipping most of the past of Koro and Naruto.
Chapter 42
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ONE WEEK LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A smiling Naruto currently stood outside the students home room, watching a sad Tomohito whine with the classes attention on him.
"Um, Naruto-Sensei." When he heard that, he looks to his right to find Kaede standing there with an innocent look on her face.
2 MINUTES LATER IN THE SCHOOL SHED
"So you dropped all of these beads?" Naruto questions Kaede who just nods.
"Yeah, my hand slipped while I was cleaning... These are the heads we used for the river in the play. We borrowed then from a prop company." Hearing that, he just gives her a smile.
"I'll get this all cleaned up, can you hand me the broom." He told Kaede who only smiles and nods before grabbing the broom on the far right before handing it over to the smiling Naruto who began sweeping the beads in one pile but stops. As he swept, he starts considering that it was time to tell Kaede the truth about the memories he got back and his her sister died but the moment he spoke, things turned for the worst.
"Hey, Kae-" Naruto stopped cold right that when he felt something pierce him from behind and could only move his eyes with his gaze now being directing at a tentacle that was through his chest while the other slammed down on him, sending Naruto through the floor while the tentacle was pulled over it of him.
"Shit!" Naruto thought now in a pitfall but his main attention was not on where he's falling but in Kaede above him.
I love you, brother. Now please die." When he saw that, his eyes only narrowed just as the markings increase all over his body while blocking the constant strikes from her tentacles, falling ever closer to the spears on the bottom.
"I'm good right? I studied your reaction speed and abilities from the best seat in the house for a year!" She shouted but her happiness was cut short when two large monstrous wings burst from his back and with a powerful flap of his wings he flew right for the wide eyed Kaede, headbutting her right in her stomach.
"A-A headbutt?!" Kaede thought with wide eyes but felt Naruto's arms wrap around her before he flew high, right out of the pitfall and through the ceiling but the moment he was in the air, Naruto was sent straight for the ground by the tentacles yet thanks to his wings he used that to cushion the blow and just kneeled on the ground with the left half of his body returning to normal while holding his wounded chest, feeling a part of his heart damaged but using his curse mark inside his body and on his organs to slowly heal it.
"Dad!" Itona shouted to Naruto who just looks up at the rooftop of the Class-E building to see Kaede standing there, hair when and tentacles revealed.
"Aw man, I attacked with all I had, too. I can't believe I met him get away. I must have underestimated him like always." Hearing her say that, he just stares at her in sadness.
"Kayano, what in the world...?" Koro said to ur girl but Kaede just spoke.
"Sorry, Kaede Kayano's not my real name. I-" she was cut off by Naruto speaking.
"Akari Yukimura... Aguri Yukimura's younger sister." When he said that name, Kaede's eyes just widens and stares at the depressed Naruto.
"I should have said something earlier but I didn't... A-" he was cut off by Akari speaking.
"Don't even talk to me, because you couldn't protect her from that monster, yet worse you are friends with the one who killed her." Hearing that, he just looks down sadly.
"It's no use crying over spilt milk. I have to reset. I'll try to kill you tomorrow Naruto before I kill you Koro-Sensei. I'll let you know where beforehand. Now that I've fought you, I know for sure. I can definitely kill you as I am right now." With those words she launches her tentacles behind Koro before launching herself high above away from all of them just as Koro moved to Naruto's side.
"Wait...her name then...she's my..." Itona stops there and looks at the very depressed Naruto who could hear the class conversing with each other about Aguri. Hearing them talk about her he just stands up slowly.
"She's not kidding...she's a pro with those fast tentacles." Naruto thought to himself before closing his eyes.
"If I must, I will have to end it quickly... Thankfully I never showed my third forbidden state." Naruto thought to himself knowing full well the form will raise a lot of questions as well as it holds similarities with Koro-Sensei's form and powers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LATER THAT DAY IN CLASS-E~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto just stood outside the class, back against the wall and sitting in the floor, hearing Kaede's acting career from a movie she made some time ago.
"Koro-Sensei, Kayano blamed you for Aguri's death. What happened in the past?" Kōki questions the ever smiling Koro-Sensei.
"We've built up trust with you for so long now, so we won't doubt you." Yūma told Koro followed by Megu asking him to tell them all about what exactly happened since Naruto seems to be in a terrible mood.
"If you don't, no one will-" Yūma was cut off by a depressed Naruto speaking.
"Koro...when we sane Kaede tell them everything from your point of view exactly on what happened." He said, not noticing the worried looks of Irina and Konan who stood next to the military pro.
"I understand... I'll tell them everything but not before saving Kayano, after all she's an important member of the E Class." After saying that, he noticed Naruto standing up while taking out his fine to find that the destination of the fight will be the zebra grass in the back hills.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1 HOUR LATER, WHEN THE SUN FINALLY SETS~~~~~~~~~
There, Naruto stood behind Kaede while taking off his own jacket.
"So you came..." She said to Naruto who just dropped his jacket, staring at Kaede who turned towards him with a fake anime yet seeing the head of sweat falling from her fave proved his thoughts correct.
"Now, let's end this brother." Hearing her say that, Nagisa began thinking back to when Aguri talked about a certain man. To think, that man was Naruto of all people and seeing her call him brother must mean they were either married or engaged.
"I thought of you as a man that could protect my sister from anything...yet you crushed my world when you let my sister die. Koro may have killed her but you were the one unable to protect her." Hearing that, he just stares at her in sadness.
"Kayano, is it too dangerous to keep using those tentacles! If you do not remove them and get treated immediately, your life could be in danger!" Koro told her yet she didn't even agree with him.
"What are you talking about? They're in excellent condition. It's no use trying to make me lose my composure with a bluff." She told the yellow being.
"Kaede, was it all an act? Even when we were having fun together or overcoming trials together with everyone?" Nagisa questions her yet she just puts up a smile.
"It was all an act. I am an actor, after all. When Nagisa was fighting against Mr. Kataoka, I was so irritated, I wanted to join the fight, too. When I was kidnapped by delinquents and kicked by the Reaper, I was so angry, I wanted to kill them. But I bore it and acted like a frail girl. Because of my identity was found out before I killed him, I wouldn't be able to avenge my sister." Hearing her say that, he just remembers the smiling carefree Kaede and all there moments together.
"We were supposed to get married...but she died. Kaede, you don't know the entire story but even so...you're right, I couldn't protect your sister nor could I face you. But...would you sister truly approve of this?" He questions the girl who's arms began to shake.
"Kaede, everything you've done was no act. Even now it's obvious you don't want to kill anyone here." Just after saying that, the ends of her tentacles turned blazing hot.
"Shut up. Outsiders should be quiet. No matter the weakness or shortcoming, if it's polished, it can become a weapon. You're the one who taught me that, Koro-Sensei. If my body's so hot I can't bear it, then I'll make it even hotter and gather the heat in my tentacles!" Hearing that, Naruto could only stare at her with disbelief.
"NO! ANY MORE AND-!" Koro stopped there after Kaede made a ring of fire with both herself and Naruto inside it.
"I'm in the best condition. My whole body's so sensitive that I won't miss any opening right now." She said while Naruto began activating his curse mark.
"STOP IT, KAYANO! This isn't right! I learned, too!" Nagisa shouted but was held back by Itona.
"That is you sacrifice yourself to kill someone, there won't be anything left behind!" Nagisa shouted yet she didn't waver from her path.
"I'm not planning on sacrificing myself, Nagisa. I will just...kill him before I kill the monster!" After saying that she leaps high into the air straight for Naruto.
"Once I put my mind to something, I just keep on rolling." She shouted before unleashing a barrage at Naruto who used his wings to start blocking the barrage she kept sending at himself. While she did that her eyes began changing color while blood dropped from her tentacles.
"BLOOD, I'M HURTING HIM!" She shouted in joy while Itonw was in disbelief.
"In a mere 10 or 15 seconds of full-put battle, her mind is already starting to be taken over by the tentacles..." Itona said while seeing Naruto being pushed back from the powerful blazing shtrikes she delivered with incredible speed.
"My head doesn't hurt anymore! The pain feels good now!" Hearing her say that, tears began falling from his eyes.
"Come on! Die, brother!" She shouted while Naruto just closed his eyes, thinking about a joyful Kaede and Aguri playing mini golf yet even through he was winning both sisters were having fun.
"I'll never..." As he thought that, the tears began turning to blood while the markings began to change, forcing the wings to retreat much to everyone's shock.
"DAD!" Itona yelled just as his head was separated from his body, being sent high into the air, horrifying everyone especially Irina, Konan, Koro, Itona, and Nagisa but what happened next was truly unexpected even for the insanely smiling Kaede who thought she won. From Naruto's neck shot out blood red tentacles that rushed high into the air, attacking to the hair which Kaede, Koro, and everyone could only stare in disbelief as the head reattached followed by markings of Crimson covering all his skin while his his hair turned to tentacles. Seeing this, Kaede had wide eyes filled with disbelief but without thinking she sent her tentacles right for Naruto but in a crimson flash, Naruto was already in front of her with his right fist connecting with her stomach, breaking a few of her bones. Seeing this, Koro knew Naruto was hiding something.
"NAGISA!" Came the monstrous voice of Naruto, giving everyone a jolt especially Nagisa.
"I'LL HOLD HER DOWN, YOU MUST BREAK HER FROM THE TENTACLES CONTROL!" He shouted to Nagisa who but blinks in surprise but only nods. seeing that nod, in a flash he had appeared behind the screaming Kaede with both his arms wrapping around her body, restraining her while her tentacles back piercing him from behind yet he just held her closely.
"LET ME GO!" She shouted loudly, trying to break free yet his grip on her never faulted. It only took her a few seconds to realize Nagisa was in front of her. Quick as a snake he loved in close to Kaede in order to kiss her, causing almost everyone in Class-E to react in great shock.
"Come back to me... Kaede." Nagisa thought before closing his eyes.
1HIT, 2HIT, 3HIT, 4HIT, 5HIT, 6HIT, 7HIT, 8HIT, 9HIT, 10HIT, 11HIT, 12HIT, 13HIT, 14HIT, 15HIT, 16HIT, 17HIT, 18HIT, 19HIT, 20HIT, 21HIT, 22HIT, 23HIT, 24HIT, 25HIT, 26HIT, 27HIT, 28HIT, 29HIT, 30HIT, 31HIT, 32HIT, 33HIT, 34HIT, 35HIT, 36HIT, 37HIT, 38HIT, 39HIT, 40HIT, 41HIT, 42HIT, 43HIT, 44HIT, 45HIT, 46HIT, 47HIT, 48HIT, 49HIT, 50HIT!
As soon as he separated from her, she was closing like crazy while all woozy.
"Naruto-Sensei." After he said that, he saw Naruto had already separated the tentacles from her while his body was reverting back to normal.
"Good job, Nagisa." Naruto said before falling backwards but was stopped by Koro.
"We need to talk after this." Hearing that, he only nods in agreement but there main attention was on Kaede being held by Nagisa while everyone was gathered around much he immediately tells in pain gaining everyone's attention to see his body and hair was steaming.
"Don't worry, it's just the side affects... Koro, if you would." As soon as he said that, Koro was gone in a flash and after about thirty seconds he arrived with buckets of ice, water, and a pillow that he proceeded to lay on the ground with Naruto resting his head on it followed by having gallons of water poured on his body while also holding ice to his skin and forehead in order to cool him off.
"Wait a little longer before I explain everything..." Koro told all of them but there attention was drawn towards Kaede having finally awakened.
"I..." She stops there after hearing a thankful Koro glad to see she's awake.
"Kaede...are you okay?" He ashes gee worriedly, not noticing her looking away where's blush on her face but that disappears when she looks at Naruto and Koro-Sensei.
"It was pure bloodlust at first... But as I spent time with Koro-Sensei, and everyone I started losing my conviction in that bloodlust. Like, doesn't this teacher have some circumstances I don't know about and shouldn't I find out what they are before I kill him? But that's when the bloodlust in my tentacles swelled forth. They wouldn't let me not do it. How dumb... Everyone was genuinely enjoying their assassinations while I wasted the while year on plain old revenge." Hearing that, Nagisa began to speak to her, gaining her attention.
"Kaede...once you taught me this hairstyle, I stopped fretting about my long hair and like you said, everyone liked the name "Koro-Sensei" we've been using all year. It doesn't matter what you were after. We all made you our friend, together. No matter how much you suffered on your own, we can't let you say it was all an act, not all those days you were smiling right there with us. Naruto promised that Koro-Sensei will tell us everything once we saved you. He's not a saint. We know he doesn't always do the right thing. But let's hear him out, all of us, together." Nagisa told her but even was then surprised at what came next.
"Yeah... Thank you... I can stop acting now." Kaede said with tears falling from her eyes, gaining smiles from everyone while Naruto Koro just stood up next to the sitting Naruto.
"Koro-Sensei... Whatever's in your past... We'll accept it, as long as it's the truth." Yūma told there teacher who just sighs.
"I wanted never to talk about my past if I could help it. But I see I have to. I don't want to lose your trust, the bond we share. But before I say anything... Nagisa...what you hear is the entire truth so please let me tell you my story before we can talk." Hearing that, Nagisa was greatly confused by his words.
"What are you-" he was cut off by Koro continuing.
"This E Class is the first I've ever taught. Even so, I've managed to teach you just about every subject without a hitch. Why do you think that is?" Koro questions the entire class of students but there eyes widen all the way.
"That's right. Until two years ago, I was the assassin known as the God of Death...and one more things even if you do nothing I will still due in match with I die alone or the earth dies with me. That's the only part of the future an assassination can change." After saying that, he looked at the completely side eye Nagisa before facing him.
"Yes...I am your father Nagisa." Hearing that, Nagisa could only stare at him with disbelief as he continued speaking.
"Now listen to my tale of who I am and what has led up to this, after I say what I needed to say, I will talk to you Nagisa." Koro told everyone but most of all Nagisa who still couldn't even understand what he's hearing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK, THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED~~~~~~~~~~
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE MOON?!" Naruto shouted in the control room with Sasuke being held up against the the wall.
"The lab rat had a discharge of antimatter energy." Hearing Sasuke say that his eyes just widen then turns to one of the scientists in a hurry.
"WHEN WILL THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THAT MAN?!"hearing that, the scientists answers almost immediately.
"March 13th of next year!" Hearing that, his eyes just widen and was about to say something when he felt something pierce his neck and turns straight at Sasuke who injected him with something that immediately caused Naruto to fall to his knees, all his strength being drained from his body.
"What did you-" he was cut off by the serious Sasuke.
"I can't have you getting in the way, we need to stop his heart." He told Naruto while walking past him, not noticing Aguri heard everything.
"Dammit...my body won't move." Naruto thought but markings slowly began to rise from under his clothes but slowly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHERE KORO IS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Doomed to a cursed death. I had that coming." Koro said behind the containment glass too the worried Aguri.
"Don't give up hope! There may be a way to save-" she was cut off by the God of Death.
"But since I have a his power and all... This is goodbye, Aguri." Koro said while looking at his hand before a surprised Aguri.
"I'm leaving this place. A little riskier than planned, but this much power is enough." As soon as he said that, tentacles burst out from his body while he continued.
"Enough for a place like this." He told Aguri who spoke to him in a hurry.
"No! No more evil! All this time, we-" she was once again cut off by the man who turns to her.
"You'd stop me? Not even Naruto can stop me now so what makes you?" When she heard that, her eyes just widen.
"huh?" Was all she could say while Koro places his left hand in the glass.
"Unless your abilities transcend mine, you can't stop or save me. You're not even worth taking hostage. Now leave before you die a pointless death." As soon as he finished saying that, the glass was cracked beyond repair just as Aguri turned her back and slowly walked towards the door.
"It's Yukimura. Unlock door 1." Aguri said which the door opens so she could walk out with it closing behind her.
"Now to try out the powers I've gained by putting up with torture!" Koro shouted as his body bursts with white tentacles, destroying almost all the video feed and destroying all guns.
"Much obliged, Sasuke. I have this invincible body, thanks to you with some guidance from me, anyway." After saying that, the last of the video feed was destroyed. Sasuke just stood there with wide eyes but his eyes change into the Mangekyo sharingan.
"Shit..." Sasuke said just as Aguri ran into the room in a hurry.
"Sasuke! You have to help him, or else-" she was cut off after making eye contact with Sasuke resulting in her hitting the ground.
"Silence... Get the guards together and intercept him!" Sasuke ordered them all with seriousness which in no time flat all the guards stood ready in military uniforms holding guns with anti-Koro rounds while Sasuke stood in front of them all, holding a simple katana with the edge being made to harm him. As they stood there, the door exploded with a now white, muscular Koro standing there.
"Fire." He ordered them which they all fire at Koro who began moving at top speed to dodge it but in an instant four soldiers died from wounds.
"If all you're after is a ruptured aorta...a grain of sand will do the trick-" Koro stops there after being consumed by electricity, when it stops his body was steaming and looks at Sasuke who had his blade touching the floor followed by siesta flying through Koro with great speed yet it did nothing.
"This isn't enough to do me in." Koro shouted at Sasuke's who's eyes just narrow.
"All of you retreat! Get the hell out of here!" He ordered the soldiers while pressing a button in his wrist watch that causes the containment glass to rise behind him just as the now jet black Koro sent his tentacles at Sasuke but in a flash he was already in front of him with his sword narrowly missing Koro's heart yet he was still electrocuted by the lightning. In a matter of minutes the building was destroyed with Sasuke on the ground, unmoving. Aguri by the time she awoke found herself being protected by Naruto who was holding up a large piece of rubble with the markings on his body retreating.
"Aguri..." Hearing that, she just looks at him to see the worried look on his face.
"Stop him...I'll catch up." He told his lover who could only nod in understanding and crawled out just as Naruto threw the large piece of rubble off of himself but fell to his knees from exhaustion. While this was happening, Aguri approached the monster who was jet-black.
"I'll die in a year regardless. I don't care if I die here and I don't mind dying with the earth, either." Koro said to himself and was about to leave when Aguri shouted "NO!" while grabbing him from behind with her arms wrapping around him. When he started to turn towards her it was in that moment a spear activated and flew through the air, piercing her. Seeing this, not only Koro but a horrified Naruto saw it with great despair.
"AGURI!" They screamed as Naruto ran towards her without a care if he felt like his busy weighed a thousand pounds while Koro moved with incredible speed to grab her just as she hit the floor. By the time he arrived, Naruto could already tell the wound is fatal.
"Now I've done it. Never thought that trap would slither out like that..." Aguri said while Naruto took her hands into his own.
"Why..." Koro said, confused until he heard her speak.
"I had the feeling...my voice wouldn't be enough to stop you..." He told him while Naruto had tears running down his face.
"I may as well have killed you myself." Koro said with true despair on jus face yet she just smiles.
"Of course...you didn't... I just did...what I wanted to do... Besides... I don't mind being killed...if it means opening your eyes. Because, you are just like my students, trapped in darkness. One day you, too will meet someone like that..." She told him with a kind a gentle smile on her face, regardless if she's dying.
"If you were the one to kill me, I wouldn't even mind. But to think there could be anyone else like you out there..." He told her and there eyes widen at seeing blood come out from her mouth.
"In this year you have left...if you would give your time...go teach those children... Like you...they're wandering in the darkness... If you look at them head-on, I'm sure..." As she said that, she placed a hand on his tentacle.
"What splendid tentacles...with Naruto's help I'm sure you will be a splendid teacher." She told him while touching his face, with the last of her strengths she looks at Naruto before giving him a smile.
"I love...you..." With those words her body goes limp which Narufo immediately wraps his arms around her as the tears continued falling as he held her closely.
"Ah... RAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR!" Naruto screamed in rage all the while Koro took the tie from her coat.
"So uncool...yet..." After saying that, he looks at the crying Naruto before placing his right hand on his forehead much to his surprise before he hits the floor unconscious.
(At long last, he realized her faults were also part of her charm. I'll use the time I have left to be a teacher. To keep looking, with my eyes, at the students you've been watching. I won't let go of your students, no matter what. Those were the thoughts of the man who proceeded to be asked by the tentacles of what he wanted to be. I want to be weak. To he riddled with weaknesses, easy to talk to... To be able to perceive the weak, protect them, guide them... To be that kind of creature...that kind of teacher. Sometimes I'll be wrong. Sometimes my cold-hearted true face might even show. But I'll give it my all. I'll aim Chrono her goal in my own way, the way u do best.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That's our story. The one who taught not not only me te be a teacher but also to be Human like was the greatest person I've ever met, was Miss Aguri Yukimura. To truly look at the people before you and respect them as equal Human beings, not to judge them solely on their weaknesses... I learned the fundamentals of being a teacher from her. I added my own knowledge and experience and prepared to face you all. I would use my abilities to the fullest to give you the gift of the best growth and development. But how best to do that? I racked my brain...and finally landed in the Assassination Classroom, where I'd use what remained of my life. So now..." As he said it, both Koro and Naruto went to the knees as well as having there heads bowed to Kaede.
"WE'RE SO SORRY WE COULDN'T PROTECT AGURI!" They shouted simultaneously to Kaede who just stares at then with wide eyes. While this was happening, Nagisa's eyes widen more in horror now realizing he has till kill the man who's actually his father. Not only him but everyone knew...no matter what subside would say, at this moment they finally found out what it feels like to take a life.
NEXT TIME, SILENCE BEFORE THE STORM. LEAVE A REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
