CHAPTER FOUR: LOVE POTIONS

Prince: I decided that I would go ahead and try to start on the next chapter after posting my new story Namae no Nai's Colorful Brides. There's not much to say, so I guess I'll just start the story."

CHAPTER START

Naruto stood in a corner as Asuna tried to confess to Takahata once more. However, this time she had a steaming cup of liquid in her hands while Naruto held a steaming bucket of the same liquid. "Takahata-sensei," she called out to him. "I made you a cup of tea. It's really good . . . Do you want some?" Takahata took the cup before smiling as he looked at the girl.

"This is a cup of love potion, isn't it Asuna?" he asked. "Well, you don't need it. I've always been in love with you." He laughed awkwardly before Naruto deadpanned before speaking his thought out. "You know he would never say this in real life, right?" Asuna tried to ignore his thoughts, only for her to not take notice as Takahata grabbed her face in his hands before moving in for a kiss.

In the real world, her pajama bottoms had come down to her knees, exposing her panties as she came close to kissing a topless Naruto, who still had his black opera gloves with the studded leather straps and a pair of black training pants. She woke up abruptly before noticing the situation and screaming. "WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING SLEEPING IN MY BED?" she yelled. Asuna tried not to notice, but Naruto had the body of someone who trained excessively. It was slim and a little muscular, but not the bulgy kind of muscular most boys nowadays tried to get.

Naruto lazily opened one eye before closing it back. "My body went on auto-pilot after I trained earlier this morning," he honestly told her. "I just got back not that long ago. If you're going to yell, can it wait until after class?" Asuna glared at him before noticing something. "Fine," she grunted. "It's after five anyways. If I don't hurry now, I'm going to be late for work." Naruto said nothing and just let her leave before being kicked out of the bed.

He landed on the floor besides Konoka facedown, his face twitching in agony as the fall nearly broke his nose. It was a good thing Kurama was there to fix him up or he would be rolling on the floor in agony. "Are you okay?" Konoka asked, looking down at her sensei that shakily raised a thumb up before letting the pain go through. He rushed up before grabbing his nose as blood slowly flowed down it. "Absolutely fine, Konoka-chan," Naruto answered, the flow finally stopping.

"Little wounds like this only stay for a minute or two," he explained. "My metabolism is really high thanks to my training. It explains how I'm able to eat vast quantities of ramen and not get sick whatsoever." He looked hopefully towards Konoka. "Speaking of ramen, can you make any?" If Naruto had a tail, it would be wagging back and forth in anticipation. If he had a certain animal's ears, it would droop with the reply. "I'm sorry, Naruto-kun," Konoka answered. "I can't make it straight away. I have to use instant ramen. Would you rather have sunny-side up or scrambled eggs?"

Naruto was a bit downcast at that. "Scrambled please," he whimpered to himself. She felt bad before an idea flew into her mind. "Say, Naruto-kun, I heard that the Chao Bao Zi sells ramen. How about we go there after school?" Naruto's faux animal parts started beating once more before he jumped up and over the table before wrapping his hands around Konoka's stomach while her back was to him and pulling her into a backwards hug. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou," he said before laying a kiss on her cheek.

Konoka laughed while blushing as she received many more kisses after that before Naruto just stood there. He then began to rub his cheek against the girl in admiration before purring out loud. Konoka looked at Naruto with a surprised look before taking her hand and trailing across a random patch of skin. Maybe it was her imagination, but she swore Naruto's blissful face gained back some sort of consciousness, making her frown in thought before running a finger across one of his facial markings.

That caused whatever semblance of a thought process to be squashed as Naruto rubbed his face against the palm of her hand. 'SO KAWAII!' she thought to herself as she petted his head. Instead of the spiky mess that she expected it to be, his hair was actually pretty soft, pleasant, and thick to the touch, much like that of fur. 'His hair is so soft. I wonder what he puts in it.'

Kurama could only listen as his jinchuriki turned to putty in the hands of the human female. He smirked to himself as he closed his eyes to take a much needed nap. "Lucky brat," he said to himself as sweet sleep found its way across his mind.

Later, Naruto, who was dressed in a black t-shirt, a blue unbuttoned over-shirt, and black pants with white sneakers ran behind Asuna, who was complaining that he made her late for work. "Geez," he told her. "You get late for work one day and you start acting like a brat towards me." She glared at him before running beside him. "If you keep acting like that, I'll expose you to the media and you'll be burned at the stake." Naruto smirked as he knew that even if they did find out he was a mage/shinobi, they (humans or the magical society) would not be able to catch him. He had planned ahead before leaving Konoha, leaving a Hiraishin tag outside the barrier on a tree.

He almost fell over when he found out she was kidding, but kept his stance. "You know, I'm supposed to be making this love potion for you as a gift for letting me stay, but if you want me to I guess I'll move. It's not like I can't sleep under the stars, right?" His eyes were closed as he glanced at Asuna, who was speechless for a while before it sunk in. However, once she tried to argue with him, Naruto moved his mask up to his nose before licking his tongue out and running on to class faster.

"Okay class, who can translate the passage on page 29 for me?" Naruto asked, as his eyes scanned over the girls beneath the mask. They eventually fell on Asuna before he tried to think better of the situation. Of course, Naruto never really thought better of anything and acted, so his strong point wasn't exactly thinking. "Asuna-chan, can you translate?"

The girl froze for a bit before glaring at Naruto. "Idiot, you're supposed to go by alphabetical order!" she yelled. Naruto tapped his index finger on his mask before pointing out that A was the first letter in the alphabet and that since both she and Ayaka both shared the letter, it still went to her, as the next letter was an S against a Y. She glared at him before staring down at her textbook and trying to read what was on the page. Trying was the keyword here. Naruto could obviously tell that she had never been able to read the study properly.

"You're pretty bad at this, aren't you?" he asked in a monotone voice. Ayaka laughed before responding that the only thing Asuna was good for was physical education. Naruto grimaced before coughing into his hand. "Please do not talk about your fellow students like that, Iincho," he told her. "There are some great people who didn't even finish college who got into high positions. Of course, yours truly wasn't exactly the best student. In fact, everyone called me the dead last."

"I was even bad at most of the physical things." Of course, they didn't go to a ninja school where they taught you how to use your inner energy, but that was beside the point. "There was apparently this one boy who was declared the prodigy of the class that I told myself was my rival." He smiled awkwardly before scratching the back of his head. "He also had his own fan club, which my former crush was a part of."

"So please don't make fun of Asuna like that." Speaking of said girl, she grabbed the front of his shirt before looking him in the eye. "Then why did you call on me in the first place?"

"Because I had enough faith in you to actually read this thing," he told her before suddenly feeling a bit of a sneeze coming on. "Geh . . ." he said to himself before moving his mask out of the way and pinching his nose together to stifle it. Of course, it would've done better had he not done that. It did nothing to dwell the sneeze. Asuna, however, should have realized the potential stripping power of his sneeze now that it was unmasked.

"Hah . . . AAAAAAH-CHOO!" Naruto sneezed, the strength of the winds powerful enough to destroy the articles of clothing on the layer into little ribbons. She looked a little peeved for a bit while the rest of his students wondered where the freak wind came from. The girl was dressed in a camisole and what seemed like more adult underwear than what she usually wore. 'Moment of cool older teacher ruined,' Naruto thought to himself after Ayaka pointed out that Asuna was in her underwear. The girl was thinking to herself how many ways to kill her blonde teacher.

"Well it's official," he said to himself. "I'm staying outside for the night training." He wasn't going back to his room with Asuna mad like that. If he did, no amount of shinobi training could protect him from what happens next. He was seriously considering going back to the dorm and grabbing something to eat before she caught up with him and probably disemboweled him. "Maybe I can unseal my ramen here," he said. That thought was squashed as soon as the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Naruto stiffened before jumping in the fountain. He hoped she didn't have Sakura's strength to go with that temper. The jinchuriki stayed at the bottom, hoping the girl didn't follow after before killing him swiftly. When the pounding didn't happen, he jumped out of the water before inhaling air. "Asuna, if you're going to kill me, remember that I was trained as a . . ." It wasn't Asuna, but Nodoka, along with a few more classmates.

"Oh . . . Hey, Nodoka-chan," he said, the water getting the clothes to cling to his body and display muscles that it hid. "And let me guess . . . You're . . ." He looked at his class roster before turning his attention back to the two girls with said woman. "Ayase Yue and Saotome Haruna, correct?" Both of the girls nodded as he said their names correctly.

"Sensei, we have some questions about the lessons," Haruna told him, getting Naruto to ask her to go on. "Actually, she does." They both pushed Nodoka to the front, where Naruto grimaced a bit before snapping his fingers together. "You got a haircut, didn't you?" It was dead-on, making Nodoka blush before telling him that she did. Naruto smiled at his accomplishment before telling the girl that her eyes looked beautiful.

"Don't you think so?" Haruna asked, moving more of her hair out of her eyes. Naruto smiled before realizing something. "Huh . . . My mask fell off," he said before grabbing the floating porcelain object. "Why do you wear that, sensei?"

"So one of you girls don't end up attacking me for some unknown reason," Naruto answered truthfully, shaking his mask to get rid of the water. "I don't really like showing off my looks that much around women because it makes them want to pet my whisker marks. Not only are they birthmarks, but if you rub them the right way, it gets me a little . . ." He tried not to think about it.

"Horny?" Haruna asked, getting Naruto to drop his head in shame.

"Besides, why is this situation being dropped on me?" he asked. "I thought you girls had some questions about the lessons." Nodoka, who was still feeling a little shy from the compliment and flustered from the topic of his whiskers, then chose that moment to run away. Her friends followed soon after, making Naruto sweatdrop as he went back to thinking about Asuna. "Maybe I can make a peace offering of some kind." He stared down at his bag for a minute before an idea spark itself in his mind. "There is one!"

He pulled out a vial filled with seven pellets. "The Seven Colored Magic Pills," Naruto said to himself. "Why the hell would I have these when I have Sakura's Food Pellets?" He stared at the vial before thinking back. ". . . Oh, now I see why." He had gotten them from the old man before the village was attacked as a present welcoming him there. It was the first day he met Negi and the others.

"Wait . . . I can use them to make Asuna's potion." He slammed his hands together in pride before smiling and running off. Naruto could be found in the forest not that far off working on the potion. He was mashing the pills before placing them in the water and stirring it up, causing the mixture to let the powder mix in. Using a small Katon jutsu, Naruto lit a fire underneath the potion before sighing as his work was nearly complete.

"Hah . . ." He sat near the fire before rummaging through his pack. What he didn't notice was the fact that a blackish ball flew out of his bag before landing in the potion, changing its pink color into a blue one.

"Hey," he called out to the girl, walking up to her. Asuna snorted before looking at him. "You know you're going to die, right?" she growled, glaring at him. Naruto swallowed a lump that was forming in his throat before coughing not to lose face. "I'm sorry about earlier, but I have something that may interest you."

"What is it? You being humiliated?" the girl asked, getting a combination deadpan stare and laugh out of Naruto. He pulled out a bubbling black-blue liquid. "What the hell is that?!" she asked, staring at it. "It's a love potion," he answered. "I know it doesn't look pretty, though. I was more of a practical guy than an appealing one."

"If that wasn't obvious by your clothing," Asuna muttered. "It doesn't look safe though. I want you to test it out first." Naruto looked at her as if she was crazy. "Eh? What?" She repeated that she wanted him to test it out. "The last time you tried a magic spell, it didn't go so well."

"That was no spell," Naruto answered. "It was a jutsu. Though how you kept your memory and lost your clothing I'll never know. My father was an excellent seals expert who crafted a jutsu that was able to cross time and space called the Hiraishin." Asuna doubted him until Naruto began to pester her into doing it. He didn't usually play that card unless it was really important.

"You drink it!" Asuna yelled, grabbing the potion and shoving Naruto's mask to the side. She stepped on his foot to get him to open wide and shoved the test tube in his mouth, watching as he drained the liquid before retching. "Even when mixed with other ingredients, Sakura-chan's cooking stinks," he sputtered before a plume of smoke covered him completely. Once the smoke cleared, Naruto could be seen, his hair back to its normal shade of blond (without the black) and longer than usual, at least down to his neck.

His whisker marks weren't as broad as they were now, just lines going across his face. Naruto's eyes were a lot gentler, as if he no longer held a hatred of the world. Of course he didn't, but it still looked as if he did. Naruto slowly touched his face as he felt all of the growing up he had done over the past few years he lived here (apparently time worked differently on the rest of the world so a year to him was at least five or six to them) gone to waste.

"Wow," he said. "I'm back to my normal self. I hope this means I still have my magic." If anything, he'd hate to have to regressed back to his age of stupidity (as Jiraiya affectionately called the years before his training trip). "Naruto-kun," he heard Konoka call him. Naruto turned around to answer the girl when he saw that her eyes were gone. They were no longer there looking at him, making Naruto feel a little bit . . . scared. "Now that I've taken a good look at you . . . You're kind of . . . really . . . cute."

"Um . . . Thanks, Konoka-chan," he said, turning around back to Asuna before he noticed the girl's arms wrapping around him. ". . . Konoka-chan, what are you doing?" Naruto asked, trying his best to forget about the girl's developing chest pressed against his back. She began to rub her head on his neck, admiring the fur-like tufts as they brushed across her nose.

"H-Hold it right there!" Ayaka's voice boomed at Konoka. "What are you doing? That kind of conduct towards a teacher is inappropriate and furthermore . . ." The class president stopped talking as soon as Naruto's face was brought to her attention. Flowers seemed to spawn in her hand as she got on one knee, asking him to accept them.

"Thanks . . . I guess," Naruto told them. "I should be going right about now. I think Shizuna-senpai's calling me." He was about to turn tail and run when he noticed the cheerleader squad (Seats number 7, 11, and 17 Misa Kakizaki, Madoka Kugimiya, and Sakurako Shiina respectively) staring at him with dreamy faces.

"Sensei," Sakurako called out to him, holding a piece of cake in her hands. "Please have some! I made it in Home Ec." Misa for some reason had a shirt she had made while Madoka stood in the background. When the girls tried to attack him and take off his clothes, Naruto moved using Kawarimi to swap his cushion on his chair for himself.

While the girls tried to contemplate how he did that, Asuna stayed in awe as she missed the one thing that probably would work for her.

Naruto could then be seen running through the hallway with the girls following close behind. "Damn damn damn damn damn," he cursed to himself. "Asuna is so getting some kind of retribution back for this." It wouldn't have worked if she had tried it as this was the girl's section of the school. The only boys here were teachers (most of which he hoped were magically aware enough not to be swayed by the potion) and the headmaster.

He turned a corner twice and watched as they stormed past before getting an idea. Naruto crossed his index and middle fingers of both hands in a cross formation before silently whispering, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." A cloud of smoke appeared around him, covering the hallway he was on before a crowd of the jinchuriki could be seen. "Here's the plan, guys," Naruto explained. "One of us is going to have to cause a distraction while the rest runs in opposite directions in case they end up catching one of us. So . . . Who's the lucky guy to go first?" None of them stepped up.

"You do know that if I go and get killed by a bunch of hormonally charged girls, I can get killed right?" Naruto asked. They still said nothing before Naruto sighed. "Let's draw straws," he suggested before heading to the nearest broom and plucking out some of its straw. Breaking it in half, he held it out to his clones before telling them to draw. After a long time, a clone was chosen to draw the girls' attention, much to its own ire.

"Okay, I want the rest of you to split up into teams and find any girl that isn't affected by the love potion," he ordered. "If I'm correct, they can show us to a hiding spot where they won't find us! It's a win-win situation. If any of you find anything, all of you except one dispel and walk with them to make sure they stay that way."

The clones all nodded before disappearing, making the original Naruto scout around as well. "Let's see . . ." The memories of one of his clones getting popped already flowed through his mind. "I don't have much time," he said to himself. "The one that was distracting them was just popped." He bit his thumb in thought before looking around his person. "Ah! Nodoka-chan!" he yelled as said girl walked into his line of sight.

CLONE GROUP 1

Since there were only a dozen, it was a group of two each. One group was idly walking through the hall when they just happened upon a young girl from their class with short silver hair. "Huh, I never saw that many people with silver hair," one of them commented. "Well, ever since I left the Nations, that is."

"I know, right?" his buddy asked as they walked up to the girl. "So which one of us has to dispel while the other asks her for a good hiding spot?" They both looked towards each other before their eyes burst into flames for competition. "Jan Ken Po!" they yelled, throwing out scissors at the same time. "Best two out of three!" one of them tried again.

"Jan . . . Ken . . . PO!" This time, the both of them came out with rock. "I win!" one of the clones yelled.

"How did you win?"

He was punched in the face before being told that's how. The sound of something popping caught the girl's attention before she looked back to see Naruto smiling as a plume of smoke dissipated right next to him. "Ohayo . . . Izumi-chan?" He knew having those clones read multiple copies of the rosters over and over again would eventually help him to remember their names.

"Um . . . Hai, sensei," she called him. Naruto smiled awkwardly before explaining what happened (minus the whole using Shadow Clones thing or the love potion). "So every girl is following you now?" she asked, getting a nod in reply before Naruto asked where he could stay while they could calm down and he could return to the classroom. "I . . . know a place, sensei."

'How many Hinata-like girls are there at this school?' he asked himself. Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the girl was trying her best not to blush.

Clone Group 2

"Why did Boss have to split us up?" another one of the clones asked. "It's bad enough that the girls went haywire."

"Would you stop complaining and just help me find someone to hide us?" the other yelled. Unlike their brother group a few minutes before, they could not find anyone. Unknownst to the both of them, they were being stalked by a young woman with a side ponytail carrying a long sheathed object covered in cloth. 'I wonder what their connections to Ojou-sama are,' she thought to herself, looking over one another before they abruptly stopped.

They could focus clearly, knowing they were being follow before running off, letting the young girl chase after them. She heard the more confident/obnoxious one tell his brother to split up and narrowed her eyes as they created clones of themselves. 'Why is their ability so similar to Kaede's?' she asked before keeping her eye on the clone that got the others to listen to him.

She eventually caught up with him before making him get to a dead end. "Seat 15, Setsuna Sakuraza, I presume," Naruto called her, standing guard.

"What are your plans with Konoka-ojou-sama?" she asked, getting straight to the point. Her interrogate just tilted his head in confusion. "What?" he asked, only for her to repeat the question. Naruto closed his eyes before raising his head. "Should've seen that coming," he sighed, turning his head away from Setsuna. "I mean, she would be an important person, what with being the granddaughter of the headmaster. But I'm doing nothing with her."

"Why is it I can't believe you?" she asked, making Naruto sigh before walking over to her. She unclothed the weapon in her hands, revealing it to be a long nodachi of excellent design. "Stay back," she warned him. Naruto kept advancing before she attacked. Flipping his wrist, a kunai appeared in his hands before he turned it into a reverse grip, stopping her blade. "I'm telling the truth," he told her. "I have no plans for anyone I consider a friend. Hell, I don't even have any for enemies I fight."

Setsuna still couldn't believe him, making Naruto grimace as he pushed her off his him before biting his thumb. Blood poured out of the wound before he smeared it on a seal near his wrist, releasing a blade with a green line going through its center and a green scale in its center. The blade was covered in a hard green glow, showing lines glowing through the air before disappearing just like that.

"Did you know something about wind?" he asked. "Not only can it blow away things, it can also cut things." The green aura extended off of the blade until it reached the length of a normal chokuto. "I really was not in the mood to fight today as I have an army of girls trying their hardest to strip me and impregnate themselves." Setsuna was about to tell him that he was lying until she too felt a pull to him. It was faint in the back of her mind because of the worry about her precious person, but it was steadily growing.

Setsuna growled to herself, shaking her head to rid her mind of the things she wanted to do with him. She couldn't think of her teacher like that. She had to protect her Ojou-sama!

Naruto stood out of his stance as he watched the girl share an inner dilemma. "Um . . . You okay?" he asked, stepping up to her before placing his hand on her forehead. "You seem to have a fever." The girl's face was burning hot enough to slightly scald his hand on her sweat. Of course Naruto could take it due to Kurama helping his healing factor, but he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong here. Setsuna's eyes, though still in focus, were trying their hardest to glaze over.

Naruto, still being dense, placed his head against hers to try and see what was going on, only adding more to the girl's dilemma before the sound of footsteps could be heard. "There he is!" the voice of Konoka, which used to be so soft-spoken, screamed out. ". . . Fuck," he growled before grabbing the girl bridal style and running. Setsuna absent-mindedly enjoyed the smell of deodorant soap and Cool Blast deodorant.

CLONE GROUP 3

"Think Boss tried to get Kurama to flush the potion out of his system?" one of the clones asked offhand. The duo looked towards one another and palmed their own faces. "Damn we're stupid." The sound of laughter could be heard as Naruto's clones listened to the sound of people playing. They followed it before coming to a stop in a hallway. "What the hell are children doing on a high school campus?" one of them asked, only to be stopped by his brother before noticing where he was standing.

The clone that stopped him pointed at the tripwire where he almost put his foot down on before looking towards the source. "Prank," he said, pointing towards what looked like a normal wall before tapping on it. The wall rocked before showing a tape player on the other side. The clone that discovered the trap quieted his counterpart as he cut the line using a kunai. He used that same kunai to hit a target across the room. The trap was set off before the Naruto who almost fell for it dispelled himself as he knew the twins were behind this.

Seats number 22 and 23: Fuka and Fumika Narutaki. While Fuka, as he remembered, enjoyed pranks, her sister did as well, though she never wanted them to get too far. The two were never apart even though one of them didn't want to get into trouble. He knew it was going to be hard breaking those two up even when they grew older. Naruto walked on, unaware that he was being watched by the girls. "Aw, poo," Fuka pouted as she watched Naruto walk through the destroyed trap. "I was hoping that we actually caught him for once."

"Me too," a voice (masculine by the sounds of it) said. "You were so close to finally tricking that teacher and then he comes and destroys your trap like that." The two jumped in surprise before registering the fact that their teacher, who was supposed to be in front of them, was watching himself walk through the hallways.

"Eh, sensei?" Fuka asked. "But how are you . . . What are you doing here? We saw you disarm the trap and are still watching you walk through the hallways!"

Naruto smirked before asking, "Wouldn't you like to know." He disappeared in a plume of smoke with a popping sound.

"Sensei knows Kage Bunshin, too?" Fumika asked. She was feeling a little light-headed around their sensei and she had a feeling Fuka did too. "Let's go get sensei!" said girl yelled before rushing after their teacher.

CLONE GROUP 4

Naruto stood across the hallway from a student in his class. However, this was no normal student as Zazie Rainyday stared at her sensei. "I'm sorry," he asked. "Are you saying something? I thought Kurama was trying his best to get in touch with me using a female's voice." The girl still said nothing. "Oh, Kurama?" Naruto asked. "He's just a friend who's been sealed with me all my life. I had a feeling you would pick up on my lies, seeing as you're a demon yourself." She blinked, watching as Naruto laughed before walking past.

"Well, see you later, Zazie-chan," he told her, walking past. The girl's arm shot out and grabbed him by the wrist. "Eh?" he asked before being dragged off to Kami-knows-where. His brother could only look on in shock before trying to run away himself. It utterly failed as the back of his collar became tightened and he was dragged behind.

CLONE GROUP 5

"How'd we find ourselves in the science labs?" the lead clone asked his partner. "I swore we just took a right turn at the library!" It was a surprise even to his partner. They were running away from a group of seniors who fell under the spell when they decided to take a left and avoid them from the library. Somehow, they found themselves at the science division. And standing in front of one of their students none the less. "Seat number . . . 24, Hakase Satomi, right?" one of them asked. The girl promptly stared speechless before her mind overloaded and she fainted.

"Gah!" one of the clones yelled before grabbing the girl before she fell to the ground. "Oi! Help me take her inside dammit and dispel! She would think it's a dream when she woke up!" The other clone muttered back that she would wake up if he kept yelling at him.

Once they got her into the lab, the clone that carried her in got its partner/brother to dispel before sitting down in a chair next to the girl. It was a full minute before Hakase came to and when she did, she felt that her glasses were still on her face. "That's strange," she said to herself. "I always take my glasses off before falling asleep."

"Um . . . Yeah," the voice of her teacher told her. "You fainted on the road on the way to class and I had to carry you back to your lab when one of your co-workers told me where to." Naruto smiled to her, hoping she bought the lie. It sounded like something that Kakashi would tell his students, so he hoped she would buy it.

It was too much to think that she would.

"Sure, I guess that could be linked up to anemia," she said. "I have been paying so much attention to my projects that I have only been eating enough to let me be able to work."

'. . . I can't believe she bought it,' Naruto silently thought to himself. "So, what projects have you been working on?"

"Oh, I was just working on something that Chao has been thinking about," she answered. "Chao told me that there might be more to the world than just science, sensei." Naruto's eye twitched in irritation as he knew that you couldn't talk about the magic world just like that and expect them to leave you alone. "Oh," he said. "She did?"

It was especially dangerous because of the fact that if the world learned about the magical world, whoever spilled the beans would end up turning into an ermine. Of course, they'd also have to be able to get out of it like he could, as he was one of the more powerful mages. His abilities went up there with those in the Hellas Empire, even if his control only went up to a newly graduated genin.

Naruto missed the girl getting closer to him before his focus went back to her. He finally noticed her straddling him and checking him out. "Wow, sensei, I've never noticed how soft your hair is," Hakase commented emptily, patting the mane down and watching it spring up just as quickly. "Um . . . Hakase-chan, what are you doing?"

She then wrapped her arms around his neck before smiling down at him. "I don't know what it is, sensei, but I feel closer to you for some unknown reason." Naruto grimaced before watching as she got closer and closer to his face. One hand made a fist before tapping him on the shoulder. Naruto turned to look at it before watching as it gave him sucker-punch. The punch dispelled the clone, dropping Satomi into the space where Naruto once was in confusion.

BACK WITH NARUTO

"So this is the library," Naruto said in awe as he looked around. The room was filled to the brim with books in bookshelves taller than he. "It's actually pretty big." Nodoka was locking up the library when she turned to her teacher and smiled. 'Even if Sensei's older than us, he still acts like a child,' she thought to herself. 'It's actually kind of cute.'

"So, do you like to read, sensei?" Nodoka asked with a blush on her face.

"Reading wasn't one of my better things to do when I was growing up," Naruto admitted. "When I grew up, I was more of a prankster, like I told the class the first time we met. It wasn't until a few years ago that I actually was beaten into reading by my godfather. Did you know that he would've liked my new job?"

"The super pervert?" Nodoka asked, remembering Naruto had said something about that when they first met. Naruto nervously scratched the back of his head. "Yeah," he answered. "Jiraiya was a lot of things for me growing up: the cool uncle, a great mentor, an ass at times, but an all-around good guy to have your back."

"How did he die, sensei?"

Naruto kept quiet, looking out the window before turning to his student. "Some things are best not known," he replied. "Without him, I would not be the person I am today and that's all that matters." What he failed to notice was the fact that Nodoka was starting to get closer to him. "Hm?" He finally noticed her when she tripped over a book and he tried to catch her, only to trip like she did in a hurry and land.

"Ow!" he said, rubbing the new bump on his head before opening his eyes and seeing Nodoka straddling his stomach. His eyes traveled lower to her lower area and he nearly lost a pint of blood through his nose. The girl's skirt had rolled up, showing a pair of pink-laced panties that just seemed a bit too enticing. Naruto turned his head upwards to see that the girl's eyes weren't all the way there, as if she was in a trance.

Her face was getting closer and closer to his, to which he voiced. "You're . . . right, sensei," she said, her face still crossing the distance. "This is really unacceptable for a student and a teacher to have a relationship like this."

Naruto grimaced before hoping something (or someone) would come save him before this became a problem. Fortunately or not, the door to the library opened abruptly, showing a P. Asuna who's leg was raised high up in the air showing that she was the culprit. Nevermind the fact that her panties were in plain sight. The violent girl raced over to the two, knocking Nodoka to the side and punching out Naruto. Once it was determined that he wouldn't be knocked out with one punch, she began a full barrage of them before reeling her fist back for one more to connect. It did, knocking him out successfully and restoring his body to how it was before the potion took effect.

After setting everyone back in class (no one noticing a more cheerful Zazie who shone brightly and carried a slight limp), the class apparently thought of it as a dream. "Oh hello girls," Naruto said as he appeared in the class, his eyes swollen shut by the magnitude of punches and a few teeth missing. His nose was also a bit bloody and his mouth was just as puffy as his cheeks.

"Sensei, what happened to you?" Sakurako asked. Naruto turned his attention to the girl before waving her off. "Would you believe I ran into a statue's fist?" he answered, the swelling going down remarkably fast. It wasn't long before the knots became a bit of bruises and even those began to heal quickly. "I feel a little drowsy and have a splitting headache, so please have silent reading while I try to recover myself."

As he turned towards the board, he blacked out for a second before catching himself on the board, one hand steadying his body before allowing him to stand. "You know what? Class is dismissed for the day. I'm not feeling too well."

Of course, the girls were getting worried about him regardless after having him trying to push himself, but Naruto would not have it. "I'll be fine after a few minutes of rest," he told them. "I will not have young women a few years younger than me worrying about my health. You have enough things to worry about besides your grades and I will not be the center of them, am I clear?" The others nodded, though most of them still wanted to worry about him.

CHAPTER START

Prince: As we speak, I'm working on My Little KoPs and Namae no Nai's Colorful Brides. Naruto: Restart is on a permanent hiatus until I can find inspiration to continue on and newer and newer ideas for new things stop popping up in my head like the KoP/Trinity 7 idea that came to me a few days ago, or the idea for a Bleach/Kiactu thing. Now, like I promised some time ago in my Negito fic, I will be doing the Inuyasha fic as well.

Kiactu: Also in Prince's mind, there has been a plan for where canon Naruto takes the place of Naruto in most of the fics on FanFiction that aren't yaoi.

Prince: I'm no yaoi writer nor am I a yaoi reader. I mean, I will read it if the plot is good enough to where I can skip over it like one where Naruto is taking care of this girl he found in Orochimaru's abandoned hideouts, but nothing else. Also, I have finished a promotional chapter for a fic where the cast of Naruto before the timeskip watches the Shippuden series. It would be chapter 235, or the chapter where Naruto finds out about the marriage proposal from Jiraiya. There was also this idea for a lolicon lemon I got from Rule 34 between Timmy and Vicky from FOP. Until next time.
