A Dent in my Iron will
A week had passed since Naruto officially joined the Newspaper Club and nothing really changed for him, the Blonde simply went about his life with his new...friends, Naruto was hesitant to call them friends, he really wanted to call them that but Naruto didn't really feel comfortable doing so as these were people he was going to have to leave, the second Naruto found a way back to Konoha.
Naruto sighed, as he worked on his side of the Newspaper, it wasn't really that hard just some small assignments for Tsukune apparently after taking a look at Naruto's grades the Newspaper Club decided to ease Naruto into the work here, it was slightly insulting but it was easier work for him so the Uzumaki had no complaints.
Tsukune sat next to his friend in silence, this week was pretty good for the Human, no Monster attacks or anything really happened this week, however, Tsukune felt like that was about to change as Gin walked through the door with a serious look. Typically, Gin would simply leave Tsukune in Charge and leave to do other things but that wasn't the case today
"Alright gather around, I actually have something important to say," Gin said, as everyone laid their eyes on him
"Well isn't that a first" Kurumu scoffed, The Werewolf shot her a glare before turning his attention back to the Newspaper Club.
"I'm going to ignore that...anyway, I've decided to split you guys up into teams, don't worry you guy's will still be meeting here and doing all that stuff that you guys do but this way things are far more organized and not just a giant mess like we have right now" Gin explained, the Newspaper club all looked at each other, Gin held up a clipboard and began to call out the teams
"Kurumu and Yukari, you two are gonna be gathering rumors among students, I mean come on Kurumu is one of the most Popular girls here, it shouldn't be too hard" Gin started, Kurumu looked at her chosen partner with an annoyed look
"Stay out of my way and just let me handle most of the talking, brat," the Succubus said, Yukari shot her a glare and allowed Gin to continue.
"Tsukune and Moka...you'll be in charge of buttering up the teachers and gathering information from them, you two are like the goody two shoes here at Yokai, you'll do just fine" Gin said, both Moka and Tsukune gave each other a glance, Naruto, on the other hand, felt his heart sink, he had a feeling who his partner was going to be and his fears were soon confirmed as Gin spoke once again
"Lastly, Naruto and Mizore, two of you will be doing things like spying on suspects we might have and gather intel where they fail, you two will succeed" Gin said, Naruto cursed himself slightly, he really didn't hate Mizore or any of the girls after he got to know them but unlike Kurumu and Moka, Mizore was something else, she just gave Naruto a bad vibe and the fact she could use Ice really didn't help, still Naruto decided to simply deal with it and said nothing.
Mizore stole a glance at Tsukune, she was somewhat saddened that she wasn't in his team but still Naruto was at least better than Kurumu or Gin at the very least, Mizore turned her attention to her new partner, Naruto was interesting to her but that was really it.
"Gin-senpai, what about you?" Tsukune asked The Werewolf gave him a blank stare
"Well, next year is going to be my last year here at Yokai, so I won't really be around and that reminds me...Tsukune, I want you to be the next leader of the Newspaper Club, so I'll start teaching you the basics of how to properly lead this club, next year...anyway you guys should get to each other a bit better as these will be your partners until I am gone at least" Gin said, The werewolf left the room again, leaving the Rest of the Newspaper Club alone
"It's not Fair! I wanted to be on Tsukune's team, gah! That damn perverted bastard" Kurumu ranted, Mizore sighed and looked at the blue-haired girl
"Why do you always have to be so loud, Kurumu?" Mizore said The Succubus turned her attention to the Snow Fairy
"Well, you aren't the one stuck with the annoying brat! At least you get Naruto! He might be a little stupid and annoying but he's kind of cute. I am the one here stuck with her, Naruto is way easier on the eyes than that bratty eyesore" Kurumu shouted while pointing to the now Confused Naruto
"Hey! What's that suppose to mean?!" Yukari shouted Kurumu grabbed the younger witch who was now squirming under her grip, the Succubus went up to Mizore with the struggling witch still under her arms
"Huh?" was the only thing Naruto could say, he had never really been complimented and insulted at the same time
"Say Mizore-chan...how about we make a deal, Yukari for Naruto and I'll do your homework for a week?" Kurumu said, still holding onto the young witch who simply gave up on fighting Kurumu's iron grip.
"No Offense to Yukari but I am just fine with Naruto and I am sure Gin-senpai wouldn't appreciate us switching the teams around," Mizore said, Kurumu dropped the Witch on the ground and went to Naruto
"Naruto-kun...you want to switch teams right?" Kurumu said, while staring into Naruto's ocean blue eyes, the Shinobi stole a glance at Mizore and shook his head
"No...I am fine" Naruto answered, While Mizore was still a bit creepy to him, he figured it was better than listening to Kurumu whine about Moka and Tsukune all day. Kurumu gritted her teeth and was about to respond when suddenly Yukari kicked her in the Shin The witch immediately ran away from Succubus who was holding her leg in pain.
"Ow! You damn brat when I get my hands on you!" Kurumu shouted and ran after the witch, Naruto sighed and followed them out the room with Mizore behind him.
"Naruto-san? Are you okay?" Moka asked The Uzumaki said nothing as the girl's worry increased for her friend.
Naruto tensed up as he sensed someone close behind him and turned around to see no one, with a small sigh, Naruto turned back to Moka and nearly jumped in shock as Mizore was suddenly hugging Tsukune from behind
"How?! How Could I not sense her!? I trained under Jiraiya of the Sannin and a teenage girl managed to sneak up on me?!" Naruto mentally yelled, Mizore simply titled her head at the blonde's reaction and said nothing
"Naruto-san? You are positive that you're okay?" Tsukune asked while trying to get Mizore to loosen her grip
"I...I just...forget about it" Naruto said as he looked down at the floor
"Don't be so down...how about we all head to the cafeteria or something, I hear they got Ramen today" Tsukune said, Naruto perked up at this and gave the human a cheerful smile, A bowl of Ramen sounded great to him
"Lead the way!" Naruto said, Kurumu and Yukari quickly followed behind as the Newspaper Club made their way to the Cafeteria.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Tsukune looked in shock and wonder as the Ramen seemed to just fly into Naruto's mouth, he was actually really glad the girls were still in the lunch line and didn't have to see this. Naruto, on the other hand, was having the time of his life, this was actual Ramen, not that Instant three minute Ramen he had to rely on since he got here, if only he had known this place offered real Ramen earlier
"Hey...Naruto?" Tsukune said as the blonde looked at the human with curiosity on his face
"Just...where does it all go?" Tsukune asked, pointed to the four empty bowls of Ramen next to him, Naruto stole a glance at the empty bowls before giving him a shrug, after cleaning the table up for a bit and throwing away all the empty bowls, Naruto sat down with a yawn as the rest of the Newspaper Club sat down with their blonde friend
"Tsukune-kun, I am still a bit hungry...do you mind?" Moka asked, The Human sighed and tilted his neck, The Pink-haired smiled and bit Tsukune's neck, the human had to hold back a small scream as the Vampire drank away at his blood, Kurumu latched on to Moka in hopes to save her destined one from being sucked dry
Naruto was daydreaming about Miso Ramen as the aftertaste was in his mouth, he still couldn't believe he had gone nearly three years without a single actual bowl of Ramen, yes the Uzumaki was in pure bliss, that was until he felt a finger poke his cheek, the blonde was snapped out of his fantasy as Mizore poked his cheek
"What...What are you doing?" Naruto asked wondering why Mizore was getting so close to him, the Snow woman ignored him and placed her hand on his cheek causing Naruto to slightly blush at the sudden contact
"Are those whisker marks real?" Mizore asked, as she started to rub his cheek, Naruto looked very uncomfortable at her action and Kurumu, who had just managed to get Moka off Tsukune, soon joined her friend and started rubbing Naruto's other cheek, Yukari tried to join them but she couldn't reach the blonde who was now surrounded by the two girls.
"T-They're birthmarks" Naruto said, he never liked any person touching his whisker marks much less rubbing them, the way the two girls were doing so, Mizore raised an eyebrow at his answer, while that wasn't unheard of it was still extremely unlikely unless Naruto was a feline Monster like their homeroom teacher but a feline Monster that could use Wind was something else
Yukari had similar thoughts, however, the Witch didn't think any monster like that could exist and she couldn't recall reading about anything similar to that in her books, Monsters that could use Wind were already really rare but one like Naruto just didn't make sense to her. Naruto could use solid clones, Wind magic and had whisker marks, those were all completely different things and had little to no relation to one another.
Kurumu still kept her eyes on Naruto's cheeks, they felt amazing on her fingers and were wonderful. it was a shame Tsukune was her destined one, Kurumu was positive she would have gone after Naruto instead if things were different.
Tsukune had just recovered from nearly dying of blood loss and turned to the Vampire, she was pleased with her meal and stood in silence, not even caring about the scene in front of her. Tsukune sighed and watched his blonde friend's misfortune, it was really nice to see the girls do that to someone other than himself, Sure Tsukune liked them but really only as friends, he stole a glance at the Pink-haired Vampire again, the Human was positive he only had feelings for one person.
"Look I'll see you guys around but I need to get to my dorm...later," Naruto said and with that, he slipped away from Mizore and Kurumu who let him leave as they turned their attention back to Tsukune, much to the Human's dismay.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Jiraiya was sweating nervously as he stood outside of Tsunade's door, typically he would have just jumped through the window but the Man had to be cautious around the Senju now, with a deep breath, the Toad sage opened the door to see the blonde woman still finishing up some Paperwork and Shizune still by her side
"What are you doing here, you old pervert?! I thought I told you never to come back here until you find Naruto!" Tsunade shouted, after a few seconds of Silence, Tsunade's eyes widen in realization
"You...You found him?" She asked in shock when she heard the news of Naruto's disappearance, The Senju woman went into a rage and nearly killed Jiraiya, the only reason they even knew Naruto was alive was because of the Toads stated Naruto's name was still on the contact list and hadn't faded away, on top of this The Great Toad sage himself spoke to Jiraiya and confirmed everything Naruto was indeed alive but missing until now a smile broke out on the Hokage's face, Shizune nearly dropped Tonton at the news, they had found her little brother after so long
"Well then? where is he?" Tsunade asked with excitement in her tone as Jiraiya looked down, he really didn't know how she was going to take this
"It's a bit more complicated" Jiraiya started, immediately after those words left his mouth a chair nearly hit the man who had just managed to dodge it
"By the gods above, if Naruto is hurt in any way, shape or form, I will cut off the part that makes you man!" Tsunade threatened, Jiraiya whimpered slightly at the thought of Tsunade's threat and quickly spoke
"He's not! In fact, he's fine! But….You remember Mikogami right?" Jiraiya asked, Tsunade rubbed her chin, she didn't know what that had to do with Naruto but regardless the name sounded familiar, after a few seconds she remembered who he was speaking about
"...You mean that creepy guy that fell in the Hot Springs while I was bathing?" Tsunade asked, she recalled this event so long ago and labeled it as the only time someone that wasn't Jiraiya tried to peep on her, The Toad sage gave a chuckle, of course, she would only remember him for that, the Senju grit her teeth at her old friend's actions
"Well!? What does that have to do with Naruto?" she asked as Tsunade was beginning to get annoyed from Jiraiya simply beating the bush and not being blunt with her
"This is might sound a bit confusing but basically the kid decided to activate one of Kushina's old time-space seals and fell onto Mikogami doorstep," Jiraiya said, Tsunade let out a groan of frustration, it just had to be Naruto
"Excuse me, Tsunade-sama but who is this Mikogami person and why does he have Naruto?" Shizune asked, the medic-nin had never heard Tsunade speak of this man until now, Tsunade sighed and looked at her apprentice
"Right...I never told you about him...well I don't know him very well in fact Jiraiya here knows more about him than I do but I met him a few weeks after the end of the Second great Shinobi war, I never really spoke to him much, I just know he's creepy as hell and that he and Jiraiya spent some months traveling the Elemental Nations while he took Minato as a student...Shizune, I need you to give us some privacy and as far as Naruto's friends know he's on a long-term mission" Tsunade said, the black-haired woman gave a short bow and quickly left the room, leaving the two Sennin alone
"So he's stuck with Mikogami Right?...and how do you propose we go about this?" Tsunade asked Jiraiya handed her a letter from his pocket and the Senju laid her eyes on it.
"Dear, Jiraiya
It's been a while hasn't it old friend...Six years in fact!, well I want to get to the point so I'll make this quick, in my school, I have your Student Naruto Uzumaki, I am sure you're wondering how I know of your blonde student and it was pretty Obvious, I watched him from a distance as he used several familiar Jutsus, that I recall seeing here in the elemental Nations during my time there, his blonde hair and blue eyes are one of a kind and I am going to assume he's Minato's Child? He looks just like him...right well I want to make a deal with you, I want Naruto to stay in my school and work with me at least for two years and in exchange, I'll get him home with my knowledge of Seals and portals once those two years are up. I will also allow you and Tsunade to visit when you two would like to, Naruto has already made some friends here so he's not so out of place, I'll explain in greater detail when you decide to visit but please get back to me as soon as possible" - Mikogami
"So what do you think?" Jiraiya asked, Tsunade stayed silent for a few seconds, she was processing everything she had just read before giving her answer
"As much as I want the brat here, I can't help but feel like he'll be out of Akatsuki's reach there...so I'll put him on the reserve list, for now, he won't be called into action for a long time...I guess I could also make this a long-term S-Rank Mission" Tsunade said Jiraiya gave the Senju a small sigh
"You shouldn't feel so down...I mean we'll still get to visit so it won't be so bad" Jiraiya said, Tsunade nodded and gave him a small smile
"I'll get to work on that letter immediately, still a part of me can't wait to meet his new friends….I'll also have to tell Mikogami about the Akatsuki and his status as the Kyuubi holder," Tsunade said, Jiraiya actually gave a sheepish chuckle at this
"W-Well Tsunade-chan I actually told him everything about that a while back," the Toad sage said, which earned a glare from Tsunade
"You just gladly gave away our Village secrets?!" She shouted, Jiraiya quickly shook his head
"N-No look I know Mikogami, he's a really close friend and I am sure he won't harm Naruto or the Village at all, we exchanged letters up until a few years back, mostly due to me just being busy with my Spy network and he was busy with his own things" Jiraiya said, Tsunade softened her glare and sighed again, there was nothing she could do about that after a few seconds of silence Tsunade spoke up
"...There's a lot more to this isn't there?" Tsunade asked, Jiraiya simply gave her a shrug
"We'll just have to wait and see, I can trust him with keeping an eye on Naruto…but it's Naruto, the kid will find trouble or trouble will find him" Jiraiya trailed off, the Senju felt Jiraiya's mood drop and was about to voice her concerns when the Toad sage spoke again.
"I also recently found the leader of Akatsuki's location thanks to my spy network, he's in Amegakure," Jiraiya said, Tsunade nearly jumped from her seat, this was great news
"T-This is perfect, I'll send a platoon of jo-" Tsunade was cut off by the Toad sage, who shook his head
"No, they'll be a liability, I plan on sneaking past their defenses and dealing with him, myself" Jiraiya proclaimed, The Hokage glared at him when she heard this, was Jiraiya really this foolish? This was the leader of Akatsuki! And here the Toad sage denied any reinforcements to assist him, Tsunade slammed her hands on the table and shouted
"This isn't a Joke! Ame has been almost impossible to get into since the end of its Civil war! And if the leader of Akatsuki is there than that could mean he killed Hanzo of the Salamander! Do you not remember how we could barely hold our own against him in the war? And now you want to confront the person who killed him?!" Tsunade ranted, Jiraiya simply let out a short chuckle and shook his head once more
"I know that Tsunade-chan, but don't worry if push comes to shove, I could escape and I am not a Sennin for nothing...besides this is for the brat and the Village," The Sage said, Tsunade, however still wasn't convinced but she knew there was no stopping the Pervert
"When do you plan on leaving?" Tsunade said, as she looked away from him, The Toad sage sighed at her actions
"In a week or so, I was planning on heading out today but after getting this letter from Mikogami...I just had to get it to you and I have some things to give to Naruto, so I'll be dropping by Tomorrow to give those to you...well I am gonna head out" Jiraiya said, he placed his arms behind his head and started to walk out of office
"Just...be careful out there please," Tsunade said softly, Jiraiya stopped and turned to her, the Toad sage gave her a smile before leaving her office, leaving a Worried Senju alone.
Tsunade sighed as Jiraiya closed the door to her office, this whole thing was becoming extremely stressful to her. Naruto was stuck in another world but still it could have been a lot worse, at least she found him even if he was now working under Mikogami, Tsunade knew it was for the best and sure she could still visit Naruto when she wanted but Tsunade just had a bad feeling about all of this as if Mikogami was planning something else for surrogate son
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Naruto let out a yawn and walked out of the boy's locker room with his clothes changed, he decided to open himself up when it came to the Newspaper Club, obviously he wasn't going to give his secrets out but at the very least go into this with an open mind, Naruto started to spend more time with the Newspaper Club throughout each of his classes from Kurumu in Cooking class, to Moka lecturing him on algebra to even sharing a bit of his writing with Tsukune but right now he was in Gym class with Mizore
"I don't know if it would really be fair if we were on the same team during a game, I mean we are the best students in this Class...it wouldn't really be fair to the rest of the students" Naruto pointed out as the Snow woman sighed
"Honestly I just want to get this over with..." Mizore said, Naruto raised his eyebrow at the girl but regardless, the two decided to stay on the same team
The game went on as Mizore and Naruto began to dominate the other team with ease and after a few more minutes most of the Students on the other team began to give up, The Teacher sighed looking at the worn out students, she didn't expect the game to end this early and turned to see her two prized pupils not even slightly tired in fact Naruto let out another yawn while Mizore simply gave her teacher a blank look, turning her attention to her clipboard the Teacher was starting to sweat bullets, she had nothing planned out for Today's session aside from the Game.
"Well...seeing as this is already over...go ahead and just relax but don't stray too far, from the field, I'd rather not get my ass chewed out by my superiors" The Teacher said, the students quickly scattered, Naruto and Mizore decided to just relax under a tree, it wasn't every day The Gym teacher decided to cut class early
"You know I never got the chance to ask but what's up with Tsukune? Like why do you three always fight over him?" Naruto asked as he laid down on the grass and closed his eyes, Mizore played with her sucker as she thought of a response
"I don't know how I could explain it to you...but Tsukune-kun just means everything to me...he's the reason why I put up with Kurumu and...I guess my reason to keep going in a way, I can't really speak for Moka but I know Kurumu definitely wants something with Tsukune as do I" Mizore said, Naruto let out a small laugh
"Yeah, he's could be a big softy sometimes but that isn't really a bad thing," Naruto said, his eyes still closed as silence set in and the two students sat under the shade of the tree, enjoying the relaxing moment until the blonde spoke up
"You know Tsukune reminds me a lot of another old friend, he would also get chased around by girls...a lot, Thankfully they aren't the same because that guy was kind of a douche but still he was my friend and well you guys aren't as bad as those fangirls" Naruto said with a small shudder, Mizore raised an eyebrow at him, Naruto really didn't speak much about his life outside of Yokai so this did catch her attention
"Oh? And what was his name?" Mizore asked, Naruto opened his eyes to look at the purple-haired girl, he debated on whether or not to even tell Mizore about Sasuke but honestly, he saw no harm in it as Naruto made sure not to tell her everything
"His name was Sasuke Uchiha, now I'll say this he's nothing like Tsukune at all, Sasuke was an asshole to pretty much everyone around him but after a while we sorta grew close, I guess despite his flaws, I was glad to call him a friend and yeah he always had girls after him, which I still can't figure out why because of his attitude but I am not gonna question it honestly" Naruto said, Mizore was actually amused at this piece of information
"So where is he now?" The Snow Fairy asked, Naruto actually sat up and scratched the back of his head
"He's...away...look no offense but I don't want to go into this...it's a bit personal" Naruto said, The Uzumaki wasn't going to tell her that his best friend was now working under a Traitorous Snake and so he left it at that, Mizore frowned at this but said nothing, She at least learned something about her mysterious Partner, the two sat in silence for the rest of the Class.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Mikogami looked the letter in front of him with wide eyes, he thought it was going to be from Jiraiya but as it turns out it was from Tsunade, he had no idea she had taken the seat of Hokage and that the Third Hokage was killed, the First letter held her answer and there was a storage scroll for Naruto that was from both Jiraiya and Tsunade.
At first, Mikogami thought this would be a problem as it would be a lot harder to convince Tsunade than Jiraiya solely due to the fact Naruto had her necklace and the Chairman assumed Naruto would be extremely important to her and while that was true, Tsunade still accepted the deal, much to his surprise. the Chairman slightly shuddered as he recalled the first time he met Tsunade, there were few things the man feared and the angry Senju was definitely on his list.
Mikogami finally had the insurance of Tsukune's success, Naruto was a powerful Shinobi and was more than enough to hold off any threats to Tsukune's life here at Yokai, this didn't even factor in Moka who was already strong in her own right but Naruto was in another league compared to her, Naruto was a Jinchuuriki of the strongest Bijuu and that alone topped the Vampiress.
Perhaps it was time to hire Naruto and inform him of the situation, yes...Today was finally the day, Mikogami would reveal himself to Naruto
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Come on, Naruto! If you don't learn this you'll fail Math and then you'll have to take it again or worse you'll be held back a year!" Moka shouted as she and Tsukune dragged the blonde into their tutoring room
"But...but it's just so hard! Can I just skip this? I mean it's not like it'll affect me in the future" Naruto said, both Moka and Tsukune stole a glance at each other but made sure not to loosen their grip on Naruto
"Naruto-san! This will affect your future and none of us want to abandon you now come on this is for your own good" Moka said, Tsukune nodded in agreement
"this will be way easier than whatever Ririko-Sensei has planned for you! I promise! Moka is a far better teacher than her" Tsukune said, Naruto actually shuddered at this, the Math teacher was really terrifying thankfully not as bad as Anko back home as far as Naruto knew.
Naruto actually sighed and his body went limp, Moka smiled at this as Naruto stopped struggling and the two proceed to drag the blonde to the Newspaper Club's Room, they had planned on helping Naruto out to pass their Math class together once their session with the Newspaper Club was over
"Wow so you actually got him here," Mizore said as she watched her two friends set the Uzumaki down on the Chair, she had just assumed Naruto would have run off the second Moka proposed to tutor him
"We convinced him with paying for his Ramen after this session is over," Moka said with a sigh and never taking her eyes off the blonde, she was going to make sure he wasn't going to escape this time
"Look can we please just get this done? I have things to do when I get to my dorm" Naruto said as he folded his arms, Kurumu snorted at the blonde
"Yeah? Like what?" She asked, Naruto opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by a girl who walked into the Room, The Newspaper Club had never seen this girl before as she extremely shy to even be close to them
"N-Naruto-san? I have a Summon's note for you, it's from the Chairman himself, he would like to see you" The girl spoke, almost immediately Naruto went pale as so many thoughts ran through his mind, had he finally been caught? How would he escape this school if the worse case scenario occurred and where would he go?
Naruto gulped nervously and picked up the note from the girl who left the room, he didn't even pay any attention to his surroundings, putting his fears aside Naruto decided it was time to confront the Chairman.
"Naruto!" Tsukune shouted as he and the Rest of the Newspaper Club were now worried about the Uzumaki's sudden attitude change, Naruto blinked for a few seconds and was pulled out of his thoughts
"What's wrong?" the Human asked, Naruto simply said nothing and turned his gaze on the Newspaper Club, giving them a fake smile, Naruto waved it off
"don't worry about it, but I need to go See ya!" Naruto said Cheerfully and left. Newspaper Club watched their blonde member leave and turned to each other
"Well, that just happened..." Mizore said, breaking the silence that had taken over the Newspaper Club. Mizore knew a fake smile when she saw one and Naruto definitely put up a good front as She was positive her friends didn't see through it.
"Why is the Chairman of all people interested in Naruto? Did he break a rule or something?" Kurumu asked, and Gin let out a sigh
"Probably not...if that was the case then the Public Safety Committee would have been the one to pick him," Gin said, his tone dripping with Venom as he spoke of the PSC, The rest of the Newspaper Club took note of this but said nothing as their worry for their blonde friend slightly decreased
At the very least they knew he wouldn't be punished but they were still curious as to what the Chairman wanted with their blonde friend
"we should get back to work then," Moka said and with that, the Newspaper Club continued with their work, The Vampiress was slightly saddened she wouldn't get to tutor Naruto but at least she could still teach Tsukune today.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Enter" were the only words spoken as Naruto opened the door to see a Smirking Chairman, just that smirk alone sent another Shiver down the blonde's spine, it was as if this man could simply stare into Naruto's soul and learn all of his secrets
"Please young Shinobi take a seat," The Chairman said and the second those words left his mouth, Naruto took out a Kunai, only to stop when the Chairman waved arm
"I mean you no harm, Uzumaki I simply want to explain to a few things," The Chairman said but Naruto was still not convinced, after a short stare down, Naruto sensed no ill-intentions from the man and put the Kunai away, Naruto decided to listen to what the man had to say
"Well I've been...watching you for a while and I am sure you're wondering how I know that you are a Shinobi...I know all about the Five great nations and your Master Jiraiya of the Sennin, he is a close friend of mine and I even have taken trips with him there when I was...younger" The Chairman said never taking his eyes off the Uzumaki, Naruto relaxed a bit but made sure not to let his guard down
"So then...what do you want from me?" Naruto asked The Chairman smirked at this
"I've...spoken with your superiors and offered them a deal, you work for me for two Years minimum and I'll get you back to the elemental nations without an issue," The Chairman said
"Not that I am declining but How exactly are you going to that?" Naruto asked the Chairman smirked dropped a little
"Well...I'd say my level with Space and Time Seals could near Jiraiya's level, if given the right...preparations and supplies, it wouldn't be so hard to do in all honestly" The Chairman said as he awaited the blonde's reaction, Naruto, on the other hand, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this, there was a chance to finally get home and that brought overwhelming joy to him but Naruto wasn't a fool there was always something more
"So...what exactly to I have to do?" Naruto asked still skeptical of this proposal, the blonde swore he saw the Chairman's eyes glow
"It's very simple...I know of Tsukune Aono's humanity, I simply want you to protect him from any outside threat, there are...certain groups in this school who will come for Tsukune when the time is right, I want you by his side and take them out as they will be a threat to his life" The Chairman explained, Naruto looked a bit surprised to hear his human friend's name
"But why Tsukune? And why would you even keep him here if you know he's Human?" Naruto asked as he narrowed his eyes at the Chairman who gave him a chuckle
"That is not for you to know Uzumaki…do we have a deal?" The Chairman asked extending his hand, Naruto gave the man a slight glare
"Look no offense to you but I don't exactly enjoy doing deals with people whose names I don't even know," Naruto said still slightly hesitant to trust the Man, to Naruto this was still just too good to be true.
The Chairman sighed, it was understandable the Blonde teen in front of him was a Shinobi, it was part of their nature to be wary of things like this.
"This does not leave the room, Uzumaki...My name is Tenmei Mikogami" he said, giving Naruto a blank stare, Naruto raised an eyebrow at his odd name but said nothing and shook Mikogami's hand.
"So do I get some perks for working with you?" Naruto asked Mikogami chuckled again at the blonde
"A few...but you'll have to figure out most of them on your own...I do have one thing for that's a place where you can train in peace...I noticed your skill in battle have dulled since you came here and I am sure you wouldn't want Students watching you train with hundreds of clones at a time out in the open...so I'll figure something out in the coming days" Mikogami explained, Naruto actually looked surprised a place to train was the biggest thing that had held him back, there were just too many students here it was likely one was going to stumble upon his training spot and Naruto couldn't risk that.
"Ah yes I do have three last thing for you, Uzumaki...the first one is this...it's a storage scroll from Jiraiya and Tsunade, both have agreed to this deal and I haven't opened it at all, however they have told me everything when it comes to your...tenant and Akatsuki I promise...now then on to the two last things and you have to please at least hear me out on this" Mikogami said as he handed Naruto the storage scroll, Naruto raised an eyebrow
"Fine...what is it?" The blonde asked The Chairman sighed, he hoped Naruto would take this well
"Tell the Newspaper Club about your Shinobi status...you don't have to tell them about the Fox or Akatsuki if you wish but at the very least your status as a Shinobi should be known to them" The Chairman said, Naruto was about to decline but he some thought into it, Naruto didn't know how he was going to tell them but figured it was probably for the best, it would make this job far easier if they knew about some of his abilities, but Naruto definitely wasn't going to tell them about the Fox
"Do I tell Tsukune about me protecting him then?" Naruto asked Mikogami shook his head
"No...keep him in the dark as long as you can, remember you're here for two years after that you could go home," Mikogami said, Naruto gave him a small nod
"As for the last thing...I know you can't summon your toads here and that was my fault, the Barrier surrounding the school prevents any summons or familiars with the exception of Jiraiya and myself, I have managed to alter the Barrier Seal, so your toads should work just fine for the most part...and please Uzumaki, we had a deal...do not try to reverse summon yourself out of here" The Chairman said with a small glare, causing Naruto to shrink at the sight of the two glowing eyes as the thought did cross the blonde's mind
"Alright then, that seems...fair," Naruto said, while he wasn't exactly excited about telling the Newspaper Club about his Shinobi status, Naruto could see where Mikogami was coming from and decided to just get it over with soon.
"You're dismissed Uzumaki," Mikogami said as Naruto left his office slightly satisfied, he had now a link to Konoha and his toads, that was more than he could ask for but the Shinobi was still bummed out about being stuck in this School for another two years. Mikogami smirked as he watched the blonde leave his office and took out a blank file, he would make a brand new file for Naruto as he wanted to keep track of everything the Shinobi would do here.

End
Well that's done, now before I get crucified for this story now suddenly having more holes than swiss cheese at least hear me out, I'll explain things further in detail with future chapters of this but I do have a lot to say so yeah
Akatsuki, oh boy Akatsuki How I am going to kill off Nagato will probably piss off most of you guys but I am damn well doing my best to explain it off mostly because I screw up so bad that I can't even just go with canon, so Naruto will get the Rinnegan thanks to Konan and the Fourth Shinobi world war will actually feel like war, things like Political backlash, supply lines, and alliances will be a thing, there will be two objectives in the war for Tobi, getting Madara's Rinnegan and the Kyuubi from Naruto.
the way I'll have Akatsuki stand its ground against the Five great nations will be fairly similar to what I did in the first story, Naruto will actually get a taste of War and it'll affect him a lot, it will also go side by side with Konan and Nagato's question for the Naruto, oh and don't worry about Killer bee
As for Sasuke, I don't know I might still kill him off or have him rejoin Konoha but if I do kill him I'll make sure he goes down in an honorable way or a sentimental way at least, honestly the whole Indra and Ashura thing is going to be hard to pull off with this crossover so I don't even know if I'll go that far but again that's like forty chapters ahead so that could still change, who knows I'll take a bunch of Opinions on what Naruto should end up doing.
Also Power Scaling is really, really hard to do but I'll do my best to keep it, semi-realistic in terms of fights, I just don't want Naruto to stomp everything unless I want him to, actually certain fights Naruto will completely dominate them while others he'll be handicapped but only in the Rosario Vampire universe.
In the Elemental Nations Naruto will have no holds barred when it comes to the war and I actually can't wait for the War arc, because I mean I get to use all my Hearts of iron Knowledge into making it a real war for Naruto to experience and not that like war in canon that I don't even know you could call that a war but regardless I am rambling too much sorry.
Now for Rosario Vampire, I am actually enjoying the Manga far more than I thought I would, but I did make a mistake in the sense that I trapped myself with so many restrictions so and I know this might upset some people but I won't follow the manga I don't think I'll more or less do the anime but for those of you who do want the manga side of things I actually have plans for few other stories on this crossover it's mostly the fact that, It's almost impossible to pull it off here with the rules I set for myself, like I said I am not a good writer and I didn't really have the manga in mind when making this so, in the far far future, I'll most likely do another story following the Manga, in fact, I might start it right after I am done with this one, I just want to get more familar with the RV univerese and hone my writing skills here so it's not that terrible
Naruto being able to summon toads, that was a thing I had planned out from the start but he'll have drawbacks when he summons toads that I'll explain later he won't just be able to spam them so that's all I'll say on the topic, I also think I might have Naruto become more cynical and edgy after Jiraiya's death but he'll be pulled out of that quick by Mizore, Maybe
Oh and I think updates will get a bit slower and more lengthy but don't hold me on that if anything they could speed up, Honestly I am all over the place when it comes to this story, I mean it's not as bad as my first one despite my rough start but it could be worse, I also noticed this Chapter has more slice of life than I would like it too, maybe I'll just sprinkle some of that in all Chapters of Naruto at Yokai, right yeah I'll do my best to mix in new things while still keeping in a lot from Canon Naruto and Rosario Vampire and yeah yeah I know my Powerscaling was horrible I am fully aware of that, I am fixing the first few chapters because of that
I think that's it so yeah Criticism is much appreciated and I am gonna hone out any grammar mistakes and fix plot holes in this Chapter, later.
ps I think I might have to edit some of this stuff especially when it comes to Tsunade and Jiraiya but right now I can't find any so if anyone finds anything call me out on it or something, I have to make things a lot more clear, so expect some edits in the coming days
ps.s I fixed up some glaring issues so this will be the norm for a few days
