"Oooooooh!"

"Oh zip it you big baby." Sakura stated as she shoved her thumbs into Naruto's lower back. Seeing as she was training to be a doctor, she had decided to learn multiple forms of non-medical healing for reference. She was giving Naruto's stressed lower back a massage, since after the race she had noticed that he was having a lot of trouble walking normally. He had a limp, which could be attributed to the stress he had put on his legs in general. "That Spiralling Hip Sphere caused a lot of stress on your body... how long have you known that... how long have you known any technique?" Sakura asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow when she remembered the fact that Naruto had never even stepped foot on a Keijo land (to her knowledge) before yesterday.

Kushina was sipping on tea, reading the newspaper as she sat on the couch, watching as Sakura had Naruto on the second couch.

"Well, Minato was a Keijo Engineer, Naruto could have picked something up from being around Minato. My husband did study Keijo techniques. Minato was working on a bastardized version of the Vacuum Ass Cannon... Naruto must have subconsciously remembered it." Kushina pointed out when she reminded Sakura of just what Minato used to do. The Vacuum Ass Cannon had ended a good number of Keijo careers, so Minato had been working on a different version of it.

Sadly, no female had been able to learn it, even though Minato had tried to teach it to several women in the sport. There was an issue with the bone structure of females that made it actually harder for them to use the Spiralling Hip Sphere.

"... The Vacuum Ass Cannon?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sakura jammed her thumbs into his tailbone, and he yelped, shooting up into a standing position. Naruto placed his hands on his lower back.

"There, fixed." Sakura stated with crossed arms. She got up, before she started on her way out. She was just doing a favor for her friend in fixing his back away from her place of training. She had aced medical school, and was currently under an apprenticeship, so she really did need to get back to her master before she got in trouble. "I'll send you the bill later." Sakura said with a smirk.

Naruto waved his hand at her.

"Yeah yeah, I'll get you a gift card to that perfume stand you like." Naruto told her, and she nodded. Since they were friends, she usually just had him get her something small as thanks for something small like what she just did. Sakura went towards the door and walked out of it, raising an eyebrow, before closing the door behind her.

Kushina grinned at Naruto with excitement.

She had so many questions.

Naruto noticed.

"Go ahead, I know you are dying to ask." Naruto stated as he sat across from her. She leaned forward, throwing her newspaper across the room.

"How did it feel to be on the Land? How much fun was it to play Keijo? Was it exciting? Scary? Wonderful? Did it get your blood pumping 'tebane?" Kushina started to ask her questions at the speed of motormouth. She even spoke her verbal tic as she spoke, something she rarely used nowadays.

Naruto smiled.

"... It was awesome. It was like fighting... but more fun, more friendly. It was more of a challenge to only use certain body parts. The entire time I was excited... I understand why you want to be a Keijo player." Naruto told her as he gripped his fist tightly. His fist was literally trembling with adrenaline just from remembering what he had experienced. His blood boiled with excitement, hope, and his love for action as he recalled his match.

Kushina nodded.

"You even made the paper... the world of Keijo has never seen a boy actually stand up to an A-rank Keijo player before. You still have two tickets... do you want to go again tomorrow?" Kushina asked with her face splitting at the chance to see her son playing her loved sport. She looked at his smile, before he nodded his head.

He looked at her with softer eyes, and she noticed.

'... I'm sorry the only way for you to experience Keijo is through me.' Naruto thought to himself as he looked down his mother's body.

*Ding Dong*

"Naruto, go get that will you." Kushina stated as she looked towards the door. Naruto got up and walked his way to the door, looking through the hole.

It was Nagisa Ujibe again, and with her was another woman, as well as a familiar face.

The woman was a lot taller than Nagisa, with short light brown hair, and eyes the same color. She had a more toned body than Nagisa, and while Nagisa wore casual clothes, this woman wore a white button up shirt with business-like pants. She also had an even more strict look on her face than Nagisa.

With the two of them was Jin, so Naruto opened the door.

"Hello Uzumaki-kun, I spoke with your mother the other day. Do you mind if we come in?" Nagisa asked as she glanced towards Kushina sitting down.

Naruto nodded.

"Yeah... make yourself at home." Naruto gestured to the living room. He blinked in surprise when he saw Jin nod to him, before he nodded back. She smiled at him with more of a kindness than he saw on the stage. Like her real personality and stage personality were two different things.

"Oh, Nagisa-san... What brings you and... friends here?" Kushina asked as she greeted the woman, and noticed Jin and the other woman.

"Ayako Sakashiro, a pleasure to meet you Uzumaki-san, Uzumaki-kun." Ayako greeted both mother and son.

"Naruto." Jin spoke more casually as she nodded to Naruto. The two of them had raced against each other. "You look all better." Jin noticed that Naruto seemed to be better than when he left the land. His bruises were all gone, even though it had been little more than 24 hours since his loss against her.

Naruto laughed and rubbed the back of his head.

"Naruto, can you go make some tea for our guests? Nagisa-san, Sakashiro-san... Jin-chan? What does bring you here?" Kushina asked as Naruto went towards the kitchen to get the tea prepared. Jin sat on the middle of the couch across from Kushina, while Nagisa and Ayako took either side of her.

Ayako put a folder on the table and opened it up.

It was two seperate graphs, and Kushina looked at them. One graph had large bars on it, while the second graph had even larger bars on it. There was also profit graphs, among other things of interest.

"I don't understand..." Kushina didn't understand graphs very much.

"This graph shows the television views for Keijo programs. Yesterday, during Uzumaki-kun's match with Jin here, viewership went up by over 160%. Not to mention hundreds are trying to follow Uzumaki-kun's example... people were buying Warm-Up Tickets at Keijo Stadiums all over the country." Ayako stated as she pointed to various parts of the graph. Kushina looked at them, and she did notice that the ticket sales had increased by over double in the single day.

Since Keijo matches were done daily, it was possible to get the ticket sale graphs from different stadiums over the course of a day, but to see a drastic increase was amazing.

"So Naruto's popular?" Kushina asked as Naruto came back into the room.

"I'm what?"

"Usually, I would say about 70% of Keijo fans are men. Since your appearance yesterday, the female fanbase for Keijo has almost doubled. It leaked that you had multiple Warm-Up Tickets, so more people want to see you battle in person... People have never seen a man play Keijo on even ground against a woman." Nagisa spoke with genuine interest as she looked over Naruto's hips, and his more broad chest muscles, very different than a woman's... but yet still somehow able to compete in an almost legit Keijo match.

Naruto's eyes widened a little.

"Really?" Naruto asked with surprise, and Kushina pat him on the back as he sat the tea down.

"That's my boy!"

"Yes, really. The Keijo stadium you went to literally sold out on Warm-Up Tickets, and the stadium saw an increase in ticket sales... men have been trying to follow your example." Nagisa spoke, and Jin nodded.

"None were good though." Jin stated with a sigh. She had battled against over a dozen men before her match today, and yet none of them had any of the natural talent for Keijo that Naruto had. None of them had lasted more than a few seconds against her, even though she went easy on them. Naruto had raised her expectations for men, only for other men to knock those expectations right back down to the ground. "You have a rare talent for the sport." Jin noted as she smiled at Naruto.

She wanted to go against him again.

"Yes, you do... The stadium you went to even considered offering you an "under the table" job as a "Warm Up" player." Ayako stated with a sigh.

"What?" Kushina and Naruto asked, unsure what she was getting at.

"You would be paid to be a Keijo player... you would get "free" warm up tickets, so you could fight the professionals more. Of course, nobody would have to know about it. That way you could be used to bring it more fans, play keijo, and get paid... but several people raised a different idea... one I myself believe to be much better for you." Ayako stated as she looked at Naruto with a glint in her eye, and a smile on her face. Nagisa grunted when she heard what Ayako stated.

"She wasn't the only one."

"What idea was that?" Naruto asked with a tilted head, and Jin smiled to herself.

He was going to be shocked.

"Keijo has traditionally been an all woman sport... but you changed that. Yesterday you showed that men do have the potential to compete against the pros. Not to mention several other players want to race you." Jin stated as she looked Naruto right in the eyes, not blinking even once. Naruto's eyes widened when he started to understand what they were getting at.

"Me... a Keijo player?" Naruto asked with his jaw dropped as he pointed at himself.

"Your ass potential is extremely high. You used a bastard Vacuum Ass Cannon, and you nearly defeated a pro player. The sport of Keijo appeals more to men as fans, but we do have a large number of female fans... but you are an attractive young man. Your race against Jin alone got people interested in you... I want to groom your talent, and turn you into Keijo's first male pro." Nagisa spoke as she looked over his body a second time, looking for any of the signs of him being severely hurt. He used a bastard technique, but the bastard technique he used was one of the most dangerous techniques out there.

He seemed fine, but the stress on his body had to have been immense.

"Yes, so I managed to convince the board to make... an exception for you. After all, if you can raise their profits, and bring in more business. Naruto Uzumaki, the first ever male Keijo player... this can be used to bring in great amounts of money." Ayako mentioned with a look at Kushina, who frowned a little.

"So you want to use him?" Kushina asked.

Nagisa AND Ayako shook their heads.

"I personally just want to see his talent bloom. He has so much talent, that it would be a shame if something like his gender stopped him from reaching his ass potential. You had fun on the land, right?" Nagisa asked Naruto as she looked him right in the eyes, and she searched for the answer.

She found it.

"I want to do it again... it was so much fun." Naruto admitted, and Jin smiled.

"Well, my ass is ready for you any time you want. You have an ass befitting the title of an elite keijo player... I, and several other players, raised our voices in order to help get you into school." Jin spoke as she gained a dangerous glint to her eye, the idea of fighting him again was a great one.

Naruto blinked.

Wait, did he hear that right?

"They wanted to offer you a way to become a "bastard" Keijo player. Yes, you will get to play against the pros... but you will never be known as a Keijo player. Only as a fan who keeps buying expensive tickets. I believe THAT would be an insult to your talent. With talent like yours, you need to become an actual Keijo player... anything else is disrespecting the love you showed for the sport." Ayako spoke harshly as she remembered the way that the board of directors had believed they could use Naruto. They would pay him, but at the same time he would never be allowed to enter tournaments. He would never truly be able to experience the world of Keijo.

He would not be a true Keijo player, and with the latent power he showed, that would be little more than spitting in the face of his potential.

"School?" Naruto asked with a pale face.

...

"You got caught up on that word." Jin noted with a dull tone.

"I just graduated from Highschool like a year ago, I'm not eager to go back." Naruto admitted with a smaller voice.

"Schools for Keijo are not like other schools. Our programs only last 9 months as he train you to join the world of the pros. We managed to get the board of directors into allowing you to become an actual player... but you have to graduate from a training school, and show that you can stick with the game." Nagisa spoke, and both she and Ayako opened their files to the last page and pulled out seperate applications.

"This is why they both came." Jin noted with a roll of her eyes.

She just came to see Naruto.

"We, at the Setouchi Keijo Training School would be happy if you would apply with us, and become a student at our school. You won't be treated any different than any of our other students, and will be welcomed with open arms. I'll even cut your tuition by 25%." Nagisa gave Naruto her application for her school. Naruto looked it over, and he saw that it was a pretty simple application.

Ayako gave Naruto her application.

"Suruga Keijo Training School is also offering you the chance to study at our school. We have better equipment, stronger teachers, and bigger training fields for you to practice on. Since you are the first male player, I was even able to have them cut down your tuition by 50%. You will be given the best Keijo education possible at my superior school." Ayako stated, with Nagisa simply snorting in annoyance. There were only two schools, period, so whatever one that Naruto picked would no doubt be getting more sponsers to them, sponsers who wanted to sponser the first male player.

This was a game changing moment for Keijo, if Naruto accepted their offer, it could be a historical moment in the game.

Kushina was shaking with excitement.

"You get to be a Keijo player! That's amazing, I always knew that you could do amazing things! So, which school are you going to pick?! OH your father would be so proud!" Kushina shouted out, and Naruto looked at the two applications with a frown on his face.

He didn't know what to pick.

"I would love to be a Keijo player... but... I don't know which school to pick. Can you give me a little time to decide... this seems like an important choice?" Naruto asked, and he felt sorry for having to ask.

He didn't want to make either side angry with him for not picking them.

"That's understandable, this must be shocking for you. Pick the choice you believe is best. I'll be getting out of your hair then." Ayako stated with a small glare towards Nagisa, before the two of them stood up and made their way out.

Nagisa glanced at Naruto.

"... This is an important choice, I hope you will put serious thought into it. Only you can decide your future from here on out." Nagisa stated as she left as well. Finally Jin stood up and she turned to her side, and extended her hip to Naruto.

Kushina almost squeeled.

"Keep getting stronger, because next time we battle... it will be as two pros, in an official match." Jin stated, and Naruto grinned at her. He tapped his hip against her own when he saw what she was doing.

Kushina smiled.

Now Naruto just needed to decide which school to go to.
