Wuzzup. Here's the next chapter for Ninja Magi Naruto! I have decided that I am gonna add another girl into Naruto's pairing. Only ONE mind you, I'm not making this a big harem thing. I'll think of it by the next chapter. Just know that the second pairing will come in much later.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Mahou Sensei Negima.

Ninja Magi Naruto

chapter 3

"And that concludes today's lesson." Naruto said formally. Class 3-A stood and bowed in response and began filing out of the room, chatting happily about various things. Naruto sighed and walked back over to his small desk to gather his things.

Negi had asked him to take over the class for the day while he was away. Doing what, Naruto had no clue. But ANBU had a small idea of what it could be. He noticed that Asuna and her group were very anxious to leave.

And today....what was it? Naruto frowned. Negi had said he was having a small contest with some students today.

Naruto watched as the last student left the classroom.

There was definitely something going on, and Naruto would be damned if he was left in the dark.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto slipped quietly around the corner of the main building. He had decided to trail Asuna, seeing as she was one of the closest to Negi. Naruto slipped into a normal gait and walked quickly across the courtyard to the dormitories. He rounded another corner, then ducked back around quickly.

Asuna was standing around with Setsuna and Konoka, talking quickly. Naruto peeked he head back around the corner and, upon seeing his targets, crouched down into the bushes.

He was too far away to hear them properly.

"Glad Kakashi taught me this." Naruto muttered, pumping a small amount of chakra into his ears. Instantly a new myriad of sounds entered his ears.

Laughter from a nearby group, the birds in the trees over head and, most importantly, the conversation of his students.

"....said that he wanted to rest up before the fight tonight." He heard Asuna say. "He has been practicing pretty hard, but Negi is still a kid after all."

Naruto frowned.

Fight?

Konoka nodded sympathetically. "Poor Negi-kun works so hard these days. I wish Evangelin-san had made up some other sort of test for him." she said.

At this, Naruto raised an eyebrow and pumped a little more chakra into his hears to make sure he heard right.

'Evangeline?' he thought. 'How does she tie in with this lot?' By Naruto's examination, Evangeline didn't hang around with Asuna or Negi. In fact quite the opposite. She seemed to actively try to avoid Negi and his friends as much as possible, only being seen with Chachamaru. Sure Naruto found that to be a little odd, but then he found the young girl to be generally strange.

Suddenly Setsuna perked up and turned to where Naruto was hiding, a small frown on her face.

"Kuso." Naruto swore and slipped back around the corner of the building. Somehow the girl had sensed his chakra.

Most low-level shinobi couldn't sense his chakra, so how could this girl, this SAMURI sense him?

'There is more to Setsuna-san than meets the eye.' Naruto thought darkly.

Then Asuna started talking again.

Naruto struggled to hear, deciding that getting closer with Setsuna around would be a bad thing.

"Well anyway, it's going down tonight in front of the World Tree, so be sure o show up and give Negi some support." the boisterous girl said. Both Konoka and Setsuna nodded.

"Sure."

"Of course!"

Naruto allowed himself a small grin of triumph. Tonight it was.

"Naruto-sensei?" A voice behind Naruto made him start suddenly. He whirled around to find Ku Fei giving him an odd look. "What you doing, aru?" she asked.

Naruto chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "I was just...ah..." he glanced around the corner quickly and saw that the three girls had left. "I was....admiring these bushes." he answered lamely.

Mentally he smacked himself.

'Who would be dumb enough to fall for that?'

"Ah okay." Ku Fei said, smiling.

Naruto stared hard at her.

Seriously?

"Uh okay then. I have to go prepare tomorrow's lesson." said Naruto, turning to leave quickly. He was stopped suddenly when Ku Fei spoke again.

"Hey, Naruto-sensei?" She began, looking slightly embarrassed. "I was wondering, you want to have another spar?" She asked. Naruto hesitated.

'Ah what the heck. I have time to kill.' He thought. "Sure."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto and Ku Fei walked into the small Chinese diner, both panting and looking quite exhausted. Ku Fei noded to Satsuki at the counter and then joined Naruto at the bar.

"Another fun spar, eh Naruto-sensei?" the dark-skinned girl asked with a tired smile. Naruto returned the smile and nodded.

"Yes, I enjoy the practice." he said, panting some. Satsuki brought out drinks for the both of them.

"On the house." the girl said with a sweet smile before returning to her work. Naruto gave her a thankful nod and began sipping on his drink. He and Ku Fei sat in silence for a minute, both simply enjoying their drinks. Finally Naruto broke the silence.

"Neh Ku Fei-san, I've been wondering." he started. "You are quite good at martial arts. I was just wondering how you got so good."

Ku Fei blushed slightly at the praise. 'Ah, my family is good at fighting, aru. I was trained at a young age. My whole life has been really centered around it, aru." she explained. Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe you should extend some of that focus to your grades." he said. Ku Fei chuckled sheepishly, a light blush appearing on her face.

'She really does remind me of the old me.' Naruto thought as he watched the girl.

"And she's cute too." Kyuubi, strangely enough, piped in. Naruto mentally sighed.

Did the stupid fox ALWAYS had to butt into things.

A faint chuckling was his only answer.

"Hey Ku Fei!"

A shout made both Ku Fei and Naruto turn.

Makie waved from the stand entrance. Asakura trailed in behind her. Ku Fei waved back

"What you guys doing here, aru?" Ku Fei asked as the girls sat down next to them. It was Asakura who answered.

"Ah well, Makie was looking for you. I just decided to tag along. You two never seemed like the types to hang out together so I was curious." she said nonchalantly.

"Looking for me, aru?" she asked confused. Makie nodded frantically.

"Yeah. It's getting late and Negi has his f-ah contest tonight." The girl stopped herself and glanced over at Naruto. The boy frowned at the quick change but said nothing. Ku Fei blinked.

"It's already time?" She glanced outside. Sure enough, the sun was setting over the buildings, its last rays peeking through. "Ah, sorry! Let's go, aru!" She shouted, standing quickly. Then she stopped and turned to Naruto.

"Thanks for the spar, sensei. It was fun, aru." She said with a smile. Naruto couldn't help but smile back.

"No problem, Ku Fei-san. I enjoyed it."

Haruna stroked her chin thoughtfully, a mischievous smirk creeping onto her face. "Well, well Ku Fei? Were you on a date or something?" she asked. Both Naruto and Ku Fei turn slightly red.

"No!" they both yelled in unison.

"It was just a friendly spar is all. Thats it." Naruto said. "Besides, I could not possible date a student. It's against policy." He said with a frown. Ku Fei nodded quickly, though deep down a part of her felt....disappointed?

She shrugged the feeling off and grabbed Makie by the arm, pulling her towards the exit. "Okay, we gotta go. See ya sensei, aru!"she called back. Makie waved too, though didn't say anything.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the two girl but waved it off. 'So whatever is happening will start soon. Meh, I will leave soon enough. But first.....' Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out a small orange book.

His personal copy of Icha Icha Paradise : issue 4.

Naruto chuckled and began to read, a small blush on his face. Asakura leaned over to see.

"What's that sensei?" she asked curiously. Naruto glanced at her.

"Ah, nothing you would be interested in, Haruan-san. It's not really for young audiences." he said. The red-haired girl snorted and grabbed the book out of Naruto's hands/

"Oh please. Your even younger than me! Just because you are a teacher doesn't mean your more mature that I am..." She said and glanced down at the page.

She instantly flew back, blood jetting from her nose.

"Hey master, I can't see from here. Can you move me to a better spot?" The small doll Chachazero asked as the three waited in front of the World Tree..

Evangeline frowned but ignored her. She tapped her foot impatiently.

That brat was late.

"Chachamaru.." She said suddenly. "I want you to go full out tonight."

Chachamaru tilted her head slightly, almost in confusion. "Master, the likely hood of Negi-sensei even landing a hit on me is less than three percent.."

"I don't care. I'm not exactly looking for an apprentice and that boy is lucky I 'm even giving him a chance! Go all out on him." Evangeline snapped. Chachamaru stared at her for a moment with an unreadable expression, then nodded.

"Yes master."

A little ways away, Naruto was crouched against a wall, covered by a small invisibility jutsu. He had left the stand shortly after Ku Fei and Makie. Of course, being a shinobi, he had beat the two of them there.

'Apprentice?' he thought, staring hard at Evangeline. 'What the hell is this?'

"Evangeline-san!" a shout caused Naruto, and the Evangeline group to turn. Negi stood proudly at the steps to the tree. "I'm here for my apprenticeship test." he said, hard confidence laced in his voice.

Naruto sighed and leaned against the wall. Looks like the show was about to start.

Evangeline stared at Negi for a moment, then let out a dark chuckle.

"So you showed up after all, boya." she smirked. "Alright lets get started. If you can land one hit on Chachamaru using your kung fu, then you pass. The match continues until you are dead or can't continue fighting anymore." The girl explained. Naruto gaped.

Dead?

Just what the hell were these kids doing?

Negi didn't seem at all daunted and nodded. Evangeline turned and glared past Negi.

"And can you do something about the audience?" she barked angrily. For a brief moment Naruto thought she had noticed him, but then realized she was referring to the students who had shown up with Negi.

"Sorry, they kinda followed me." Negi said sheepishly. Naruto frowned and scanned the faces.

'There are Makie-san and Ku Fei. Asuna-san, Setsuna and even Kono- the target.' Naruto corrected himself, a sick feeling entering him when he looked at the smiling girl.

He was trying his best to distance himself from the girl. He would not fail because of simple personal emotions. That was a rookie's mistake.

No his.

Naruto's frown deepened and he forced himself to glance at the other students there. 'Ako-san Akira-san and Yuuna-san?' he thought as he saw the last three students there. How big IS this thing. More and more students seem to be involved.'

Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by cheers from the group as Negi stepped up to Chachamaru. He gave a bow.

"Chachamaru is pretty strong from what I've heard." Ku Fei said as the students watched. "Negi will be at a dis-advantage if he drags this out, aru."

From his hiding place, Naruto studied Chachamaru. The girl was rather slim, and didn't seem at all to be the fighting type. He glanced back at the students. Most of them were cheering, but Naruto noticed the concerned frown on Asuan's face.

'For all the arguing they do....'

"Ah, young love." Kyuubi spoke up from inside the seal. Naruto mentally snorted.

'I doubt that. Half the time it look like Asuna wants to pummel Negi into the ground.'

"Ah, but she never does. She seems to be pretty protective of the brat."

'I suppose........hey Kyuubi?'

"Yes?"

'Why the hell am I even talking to you?' Naruto didn't wait for an answer and returned attention to the match, just as Evangeline shouted 'BEGIN!'.

Immediately Chachamaru launched herself at Negi, a neutral expression never leaving her face. Negi whipped his arms up and began shouting.

"I invoke the contract for ninety seconds! Negi Springfield!"

Then Chachamaru was on him, fists swinging. Negi spun around her fist and swung at his opponent in the same move. Just as quickly Chachamaru brought up her arm and blocked the hit.

Akira Ako and Yuuna stared at the two in awe. Ku Fei frowned.

'Close." she muttered.

Negi and Chachamaru exchanged a few blows, neither with much success. The speed in which they moved made Naruto bite his lip in curiosity.

'No normal human should be able to move that fast. Not without chakra.'

"hmm interesting." Evangeline said from the side, her expression containing mild boredom. "A self-made technique. He's using his magic to make him faster."

In the shadows, Naruto nearly tripped. 'Did she just say....magic?' he stared hard at her, and then at Negi.

Magic?

Did such a thing exist?

'Of course. Many types of power exist in this world. Magic, chakra, chi...all similar yet different." Kyuubi spoke up, helpful for once.

Naruto looked away from the match. 'Magic...this is big. Does anyone in the Elemental Nations know about magic?' he asked Kyuubi.

"Doubtful. It was long ago that the branches of power separated. The Elemental Nations, Mundo Veras and Mundo Magica are all separate for a reason."

'Mundo-wha?' Naruto aske in confusion. Kyuubi sighed.

"The world of magic. There is separate world, much like the Elemental Nations. The magical world. Most people in this world are unaware of its (or the Elemental Nation's) existence."

Naruto went silent for a moment. 'How do you know all this?' he said finally. Kyuubi snorted.

"I'm an age old demon! I've traveled this world long enough to know most of its secrets."

Naruto didn't respond and turned back to the match. He would need to report to the Hokage on this soon. This could change the mission drastically.

Naruto watched as Negi feinted a kick and then jumped inside Chachamaru's guard. Everyone stared intently. It seemed that he would actually hit the girl.

But then Chachamaru did something completely unexpected and CARTWHEELED over Negi's shoulder.

Naruto blinked a few times to make sure he had seen right. Was everyone at this school different?

'Least now I can figure why that client paid so well...'

Negi collapsed from the last move, laying still.

"Give up, boya." Evangeline said. "It's over. Go get cleaned up and help yourself."

Suddenly Negi started to rise,chuckling. "I'm not dead yet." he said, raising his hands into fists. "Those were the rules right? Until I'm dead?"

Naruto smiled at the boy, a hint of pride touching him. That kid just didn't give up. Evangeline gaped at the red-haired boy.

"Are you seriously going to continue fighting in that state?"

"N-negi-sensei?" Chachamaru asked uncertainly. Negi didn't answer, but instead lanched himself at Chachamaru with a cry.

For the next hour the two fought. Never once did they stop or rest. Negi took the worst of it and had a new collection of bruises and cuts while Chachamaru didn't even have a scratch.

Negi winced a few times at some of the more painful-looking hits.

"He can't win, aru." Ku Fei said from the watching group. "He is tiring out." All the girls watched in concern and horror as Chachamaru relentlessly beat on the child teacher.

"That's it." Asuna said finally, taking a step forward. "I'm ending this now."

"No Asuna don't!"

Naruto watched as Makie jumped in front of the girl suddenly. He tilted his head curiously as Makie went into a long speech about Negi being mature and basically being an adult.

'How touching.' the blond thought dryly. He turned and the perked up.

Chachamaru had looked back at Makie, distracted by her speech.

She didn't see Negi's fist speeding right for her.

CLANG!

Chachamaru had looked of shock on her face at the hit. Evengeline had an even bigger one.

"You have GOT to be kidding." the girl said, gaping. A look of joy errupted on all the 3-A girls' faces.

"He did it!" Makie yelled happily. Negi smiled and then promptly collapsed.

"All right Negi!"

"Damn it Chachamaru!"

Naruto smirked and stood from his hiding place, the invisibility jutsu still cast. The little guy had actually done it.

'Not bad, Neg.'

Naruto saw Negi blink and open his eyes. He was surrounded by Makie, Asuna and that ermine that Negi always seemed to carry around.

Naruto turned to leave. Seemed the event was over.

"You won, boy." Naruto turned back suddenly.

Evangeline was turning to leave. "You can come train at my cottage whenever you feel like it." She said flatly. "You should keep practicing that kung fu though. Always helps to have a little physical prowess." And then she left without another word, Chachamaru trailing behind her.

The others gathered around to congratulate Negi. Naruto slipped off while nobody was looking. He began walking back to his own room just as the dawn light began to seep though the clouds.

'That was.....interesting.' he thought sullenly. 'I got my answer, but damn, a whole new bunch just appeared.' Naruto stoped and stared back the way he had come and dismissed the jutsu. ;One thing is certain, Hokage-sama needs to know about this.'

AN:) Done! Meh this story moves a little slower than I'd like but hey, thats life. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it, and hope you continue to read.
