Suprise! Two Ninja Magi Naruto updates so close together? How can this be? Well I was simply more inspired to write up the next chapter for this! Well enjoy!
Shadow Zeranion: kekekeke you wish!
NeroSparda: lol done.
Wolfoftheleaf: yes that is one of the girls I'm considering. It will probably be either her or Setsuna.
Al103: Heck I have no idea what he is planning with their relationship. Half the time they act like siblings, the other half they act like lovers. I'll just stay with the pairing for now and if the manga goes otherwise then screw it ! :P
Lord Edric: I'm most likely going to make Konoka in more of a sisterly role.

Ninja Magi Naruto
Chapter 4
Hokage-sama,
I have successfully infiltrated Mahora Academy and made contact with target Konoe Konoka. However, as well as failing to find an appropriate time to strike, I have come across some startling information. A few of the people of this school (And appaently a wide range of people in the outside world) have the ability to use 'magic' like we use chakra. This knowledge has made things much more cautious and I request orders to proceed in light of this. Should this mission continue?
-Fox
Naruto re-read his lettoer once more before he was satisfied. It had been another day since he had spied on the fight between Negi and Chachamaru. He had observed all the students carefully that next day,unsure of who exactly was in on this. Obviously Asuna, Konoka and their group. He was pretty sure that Yue, Nodoka and Ku Fei were new to the whole idea. And as for the others he had seen, Yuuna, Makie, Akira and Ako, they seemed to have just been there.
He truly needed to gather more intel on the nature of this new power before even considering his mission. In the back of his mind, Naruto almost hoped that the Sandaime would call off the mission. But sadly, Naruto knew that it probably would not be the case. Despite the recent prosperity in the Hidden Leaf, its was still in a state of economic instability. Even this many years after the Kyuubi attack and the coffers were still trying to re-build. This, if the price was true, would greatly boos the economy back up to great heights. Naruto mentally scolded himself for being selfish.
He was a shinobi of the leaf, and his mission could greatly help his village. He shouldn't even be THINKINg about what HE wanted.
'This is turning out to be more than a simple assassination.' he thought idly.
Assassination.
Naruto had been on plenty of assassination missions and killed more than his share of people with cold efficiency. But somehow the word brought a cold feeling to him now. This was the bitter realitly of it.
Naruto didn't want to kill Konoka, not one bit. The girl who always smiled at him and showed open kindness.
But those were his orders.
Naruto served Konoha and the Hokage. More than that, he was ANBU! The elite, completely devoted to the Hokage. If he was orderd to kill then that was the way it was.
And yet....
Naruto frowned sourly as he folded the letter and stashed it in his desk drawer. His room was small and yet comfy, in the far end of the dormitories. Completely private.
Naruto began to get ready for bed when a thought struck him.
Why did he serve Konoha?
It was an odd question, one Naruto had never considered. For as long as he could remember, he had wanted to be a ninja of Konoha. He saw they way they did cool jutsu and jumped from rooftop to rooftop and took and immediate liking. It was his dream to one day be Hokage and make the village respect him.
See him as more than the demon boy.
'Kit, let's face it. They will never stop seeing you as me." Kyuubi spoke up, in a not unkind tone. Naruto stopped and then slowly sighed.
'I know Kyuubi. I try not to lose hope..but it's so hard. Besides, what other reason do I have to serve as a shinobi than to protect the people of my village?'
Umages flashed through his mind.
The Sandaime smiling warmly at him.
Kakashi reading Icha Icha Paradise during their training bouts.
Old Man Ichiraku and Ayame.
'My precious people.' he thought. 'I fight for them. I kill for them. I would always try to make the village safe for them.' he decide, an air of finality settling inside him. He undressed and crawled into his bed, switching off the lights and entering complete darkness. 'Despite how I feel about this...if it was a choice between Konoka or my friends, I would choose them. I'm sorry Konoka-san.' Naruto squeezed his eyes shut and waited for sleep to take him.
Another day of classes came and went with the usual goings on and activities.
Asuna and Ayake would fight, Ayake would make not-so-subtle passes at Negi and so on. Naruto found it funny how the boy could get so flustered by his students.
They seemed to enjoy teasing him and placing the poor boy in uncomfortable positions. Though Naruto had a feeling that some of the girls did actually have feelings for the young teacher.
Ayake and Makie obviously, they didn't even bother to hide it. Kodoka liked him too, though she was unbelievably shy. And Naruto had a sneaking suspicion about Asuna. The girl definitely tried hard to keep to the idea that Negi was just an annoying kid, but Naruto could see the way she cast worried glances at him occasionally. And despite all her protest when Naruto commented,
"You certainly react when one of the girls displays some affection for Negi-bozu." said Naruto when the 'Negi group' stayed after class, apparently waiting for Negi.
"Yes, they even sleep together sometimes." Konoka commented with a sly grin that ,for some reason, seemed odd on her. Both Asuna and Negi turned red and sputtered incoherently while the others laughed.
"You certainly know how to pick 'em Negi." Naruto said with a smile. Unconsciously he glanced at Ku Fei for a second. The girl did the same and there was brief moment when their eyes locked. Naruto felt an odd warm feeling hit him in the gut for a moment, but quickly shook it off and looked away.
That was odd...
Finally Negi left with the girls, making some excuse.
Naruto waited for a minute before leaving behind them. Now it was time for a little reconnaissance. He left the building and walked casually around campus for a few minutes until he spotted his quarry. Negi and his group were moving off into the woods, over near the World Tree.
Naruto cautiously snuck into the edge of the woods and then immediately vanished into the tree tops. Being a Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf, he moved deftly through the branches until he was almost on top of the group travelling below.
They ended up in a small clearing with some old ruins. An old building.
And Chachamaru and Evangeline were waiting for them. Naruto frowned and hid in a tree at the edge of the clearing. He had a pretty good view and, for once, was close enough to hear without chakra.
Asuna, Konoka, Nodoka and Setsuna all lined up in front of Negi while Yue and Ku Fei stood off the side. Nodoka was glancing around nervously while Asuna and Setsuna, for once not having a serious look on her face, just stood casually. Konoka was wearing her usual grin.
"Okay let's begin." Evangeline spoke. "Setsuna, you need to repress your ki. Magic and ki will cancel each other out without practice." the girl instructed. Setsuna nodded.
"Alright Evangeline-san." She said and closed her eyes in concentration for a moment.
"I'm going to try it now." Negi said, withdrawing four cards. Naruto stard at the card in confusion.
Some sort of magic item?
"Invoke contract for one-hundred and eighty seconds." Negi began. The cards began to glow. "Ministra Negi Konoe Konoka, Miyazaki Nodoka, Kagurazaki Asuna, Sakurazaki Setsuna!" In turn the strange energy began to surround the four girls. They squirmd with some discomfort but otherwise remained still.
"Okay lets move on." Evangeline said. "Expand the anti-material shield onto everyone at full power." she commanded. Negi nodded.
Suddenly the magical aura grew and surrounded the girls. Negi frowned in concentration.
"Okay, now hold it for three minutes and then fire off one hundred ninety-nine magical arrows to the north! I expanded the barrier so you don't have to hold back." Evangeline explained, sucking idly on a juice-box.
In the trees, Naruto tensed up slightly. A barrier? Could it detect him? If so then Evangeline showed no sign of acknowledging his presence. Slowly Naruto relaxed. He would just have to wait and see.
"ughh" Negi muttered. He raised his staff at the sky. "199 spirits of Light! Gather unto me and strike at my enemies!" he shouted. Light errupted from the tip of the staff and shot off into the sky in a blaze of light arrows. In the sky they exploded in a brilliant fashion.
The attack elicited a small 'ooh' from Ku Fei.
"So this is magic.." Yue said, staring intently at the sky. Naruto was swearing silently as he gripped the tree branch.
'Damn it! One of those things almost took my head off!' He glanced back down. 'But that was an impressive display. Is this the power of magic?'
Suddenly Negi collapsed in exhaustion, the strain of holding the magic too much for him.
"Negi!"
"Negi-kun!"
Asuna and the others gathered around him worriedly. Evangeline snorted but did nothing to help her new student.
"This is pointless if he is going to collapse at just that." she said. "he may have inherited incredible magical power, but it is a wasted gift." She said coldly. Kamo the ermine, who was sitting on a nearby rock looked up and spoke. "Hey Evangeline-san, don't you think you're going too hard on him? Aniki is only ten years old after all."
Naruto stared at the creature.
'I-i-it talks?' he though. 'Why am I not surprised? Everything is more than it seems around here.'
"He used up more magic by summoning the four contracts and then the 199 magical arrows than he did during the fight at the school trip!" Kamo continued. "It's only natural he passed out. Any normal mage would to-"
Evangeline glared at kamo. "Shut up you stupid furball. You think I'd just settle for an ordinary mage? How about I cook you up and eat you?" she growled. Kamo quailed and backed away.
"Don't you think that's a bit harsh Evangeline?" Asuna spoke up, saving Kamo from an early death.
School trip?
Naruto filed than information away for later.
Evangeline shook her head and glared. "He should have prepared for this And more when he asked me to be his master. Don't think I'll just let him get by with half-assed training." she said, turning to Negi who was beginning to come around.
"Listen up, boya. Excuses and tears won't work on me." She said with an evil grin. "If you make even the slightest complaint...I'll drink your blood down to the last drop."
Nodoka and Konoka looked a little shocked, but Negi didn't even seem fazed by the threat.
"Okay Evangeline-san! I'm counting on you." He said energetically. Naruto stared hard at Evangeline from his spot in the tree.
'Did....did she just say she DRINK his blood?'
"Ah I thought she looked familiar."
'Eh Kyuubi? What is she some kind of vampire?' Naruto asked in disbelief.
"Yes actually. Dark Evangeline. Probably the most deadly vampire to walk this earth in the past years. I encountered her a few times during my...ah..travels. Don;t know how she ended up a kid though."
Naruto frowned but said nothing. Magic and now vampires?
It would make sense actually.
'So this kid is a mage of some sort...and he is going to Evangeline for training.' he assessed.
"Probably. That kid must have a death wish or something."
Negi began talking again, drawing Naruto from his mental conversation. "By the way, if I wanted to defeat a dragon, how long would I need to train?" He asked as if it was the most innocent questions in the world.
Now Naruto's eyes bugged out. DRAGONS?
Evangeline turned around and gave Negi an odd look. "Say that again." she said. Negi blinked.
"Uh..if I wanted to defeat a dragon..."
"A dragon huh.." Evangeline looked at him hard. Then she proceeded to punch him hard upside the head. "ARE YOU SOME KIND OF MORON?" She screamed. "WHO FIGHTS A DRAGON IN 21st CENTURY JAPAN?"
Off to the side, Asuna gave a confused glance over to Yue. "What's this about a dragon?" she asked. Yue answered without taking her eyes off of the verbal pounding that Negi was receiving.
"Well... you might not believe this but..." She began explaining their previous day's visit to the Library island and the dragon guarded door.
After a few more minutes Evangeline finally called the training to an end. "Okay that is enough for today. Class dismissed she said."
Negi nodded and loked back at the group. "Thank you all for coming." he said with a bow. Ku Fei, Nodoka and Yue left. Negi turned and saw Asuna standing with his back to her. "Ah, Asuna-san? What's wrong?" he asked, confused.
"Oh nothing." She said, though from her look she was building up to something. Up in his spot, Naruto could already see an argument coming.
"I heard the story. Y'know, how you went to Library Island without telling me." She said, looking back at him. Her voice was deadly calm. Negi started stuttering out an excuse. "Ah, well I didn't know what dangers we would be facing and-"
"yeah I know about that too." Asuna interjected with a huff. "I don't know about dragons, but there was something really incedible in there right?" She asked. Now Naruto was completely clueless about what was going on.
In where?
"That was dangerous! Why didn't you take me with you, you damn brat!" Asuna was shouting now, and for some odd reason had a small blush on her face though from anger or something else Naruto didn't know.
'Seems Asuna really cares a lot about him after all.' Naruto thought as he watched the drama unfolding.
"Asuna-san, you were never involved with us in the first place! I thought that we shouldn't cause you too much trouble all the time so.."
Naruto winced. 'Strike one...'
Asuna angrily grabbed Negi by the front of his shirt, causing him to flounder a bit. "Never involved? Why would you say that after all this time you brat?" she half screamed in disbelief.
"W-what I mean is, I didn't want to put an uninvolved, normal person like Asuna-san in any danger." Negi said, trying to get loose from the girl's grip.
'Strike two..' Naruto thought, watching the rage play over Asuna's face.
"Uninvolved?" she shrieked. "Why do you think I've been learning kendo from Setsuna-san, even when I barely have any free time?" she asked/yelled. Naruto glanced quickly at Konoka and Setsu who were watching the argument in silence.
Asuna knows kendo? Interesting....
"I didn't ask you to do that!" Negi yelled back at Asuna. "Why are you getting angry with me?"
"W-why? I didn't know you thought of me like that! You stupid shrimp!" Asuna yelled, her amrs flailing out in anger.
Now Negi decided to join in the insults. "Your not all that mature either! You Violent monkey!" he yelled back. The insults began flying and poor Kamo was caught in between.
'What did you call me? I don't want to here it from some dumb kid who doesn't even have hair where it counts!" Asuna yelled back.
Naruto had to repress a chuckle at that one.
"Asuna-san is the 'paipan' one who still wears bear panties!" Negi yelled back.
Okay, now Naruto couldn't hold back a small laugh. Even HE knew what 'paipan' meant. 'Strike three and your out.'
Asuna stared at Negi in shock, her blush coming back in full force.
"Eh?" She suddenly had a giant fan, Naruto had NO clue where she pulled THAT from, in her hands. "You...You.." Negi's eyes widened as Asuna gave a furious swing. "JERK!" she cried, punctuated by smacking Negi clear across the field. Naruto winced.
That had to hurt.
"I'm not talking to you anymore!" Asuna yelled as she ran out of the clearing. As she went, Naruto noticed, with some surprise that she actually had tears in her eyes.
'Doesn't seem like the type to cry a lot.'
"A-Asuna-san!" Negi called, pulling himself up and sporting a new bruise on his forehead. The boy looked pretty upset.
"Jeez, what are you idiots doing?" Evangeline commented, making everyone realize that she and Chachamaru were still there with them. "I've got something to talk to you and Konoe about boya. Stop by my place on yor way back." She said.
Negi and Konoka looked at her in puzzlement but agreed. The group began to make there way towards Evangeline's cabin, while Naruto watched them from his tree.
'I should follow them...but if they are heading to this vampire's HOME...'
Naruto debated for a moment before deciding to risk it. He followed them to a small and, rather warm-looking cabin in the woods around Mahora. 'It sure doesn't look like the lair of some dark vampire...'
"Evangeline always had a certain....taste of hers." Kyuubi said. Naruto crept close until he was hiding underneath one of the windows. He applied some chakra into his feet and, using an old shinoi training method, scaled the wall until he hung right below the upper window. He cautiously peeked through the window. It was a cozy looking cabin, not at all what Naruto would have expected. Negi, Konoka and Setsuna were sitting around a table while Evangeline stood off to the side, giving some kind of lecture.
"....However, all that means is that you are giant tanks of magical energy." Evangeline said, looking the part of a school teacher. "What you need to actually be able to use it is to increase your willpower so you can better control your magic." She explained. "And to improve the effectiveness of your magic. You need training for both. Also, just as you need will power to control magic, it takes physical power to control ki...." it was around then that she noticed that neither Negi or Konoka were paying attention, Ngi too upset about his fight with Asuna and Konoka comforting him.
"LISTEN TO ME DAMN IT!" She yelled, practically blowing Negi back. "YOUR GONNA GET KILLED IF YOU DON'T STOP MOPING AROUND!"
Outside, Naruto winced at the shouting. And he thought Evangeline was scary before....
"Anyway, Konoka, I got a message from Eishun." Evangeline said, calming down and leaving avery scared Negi. Konoka perked up at the name.
"Eh, from father?"
Naruto focused hard now. They were talking about Konoka, and he needed some better intel. It was bad enough when he had little information about her as a NORMAL girl.
"Now that you know the truth, if it is your wish...he would like me to teach you all about magic." the vampire said. Konoka blinked in surprise. "Certainly with your power, you could aim to be a master magi."
"eh, the thing that Negi is trying to be?" Konoka asked, glancing at Negi. Naruto shifted under the window.
'Aw just great. So apparently Kono- ..Konoe-san is powerful. Just fucking great.' he thought.
"I doubt she has any skill at all, considering the meeting they are having. It shouldn't be too hard."
'Maybe...'
"yeah.." Evangeline continued, snapping Naruto out of his thoughts. "With your power you could really be useful to the world. You should give it some thought."
Konoka looked down, deep in thought.
"And now for you, boya." Evangeline turned back to Negi. "To determine which direction that your training should go, I'm going to let you choose your own combat style."
Negi gave her a puzzled look. "Combat style?" he asked. Naruto leaned forward a bit. This was getting interesting. Evangeline switched back into teacher mode.
"Yes. From what I can tell, there are two paths that would suite you well. I'll simplify it. First, is the Wizard style'. Leaving your defense almost entirely up to your disciples, you would cast powerful spells from the back line. It's a stable style." she explained. Negi rubbed his chin in thought. "Next is the 'Magic Swordsmen.' To supplement your magic, you would train your body so you could fight alongside your disciples on the front line. You would also use spells that emphasize on speed. It's a pretty free-form style."
Negi frowned, obviously thinking of each style. "Wizard....or Magic Swordsman.." he repeated, trying to get a feel for each.
"There are advantages and disadvantages for each." Evangeline went on. "Personally I think Wizard style would suite you best since your such a clever person." She seemed to use the word clever as if it were painful. Negi thought for a moment.
"May I ask a question?" he said finally. Evangeline sighed and nodded.
"What is it?" She said, though the look on her face said that she already knew what he was about to ask.
"What style did the 'Thousand Master' use?"
Evangeline smirked. "I thought you would ask that. I would have to say that Nagi's style was that of the Magic was strong to the extent that he didn't need any disciples."
"I'll give you time to think about it." said Evangeline as she began walking towards the stairs. "Come on Konoka, I've got more information for you own stairs." Konoka nodded and the two girls left. Negi spent the next few minutes cycling through the martial arts moves that Ku Fei had taught him. All the while a thoughtful expression on his face. Setsuna sat off to the side, watching quietly.
Outside, Naruto watched the boy train. 'He certainly is persistent.'
"Reminds me of another certain gaki that I know." Kyuubi commented. Naruto nodded and watched Negi. His determination certainly did remind Naruto of himself. That drive to achieve his goals.
'Hey Kyuubi," Naruto thought suddenly.
"yeah?"
'That guy that he mentioned. This 'Thousand Master', who was he?' Naruto asked curiously. He was vaguely aware that Negi had stopped practicing and was going on about his argument with Asuna again.
"Well now, I never met the man, but the stories traveled around. Nagi Springfield, the Thousand Master was a mage of exceptional power. He was said to have known over a thouand spells, hence the title. He went around acting the hero and many people feared and looked up to him. He was a lot like the Yondaime, now that I think about it." Naruto paused when Kyuubi mentioned his dad's name.
'Springfield? Then that means...'
"Yes, it appears that the young teacher is his son or something. It would certainly explain his constant interest in the hero and strive to be like the man. A son trying to outdo his father."
Naruto frowned. The son of a hero, trying to protect those close to him and be like his father. Naruto felt a sudden connection the Negi. Both of them had similar goals.
'This Thousand Master..what happened to him?'
"Nobody knows. He just disappeared one day. Many think he is dead." Kyuubi answered simply. Naruto looked out into the forests in thought. Negi obviously held on to the hope that his father was alive. It gave him a goal to reach for. To know that his father lived.
'That is where we differ, Negi Springfield.' Naruto thought sadly. 'You still have a chance. I know for a fact that my father is dead.'
".....kit." Kyuubi said softly. The demon never referred to Naruto as 'kit' before.
'It is alright Kyuubi. I have forgiven you for the attack. I suffered a lot, but in the end it doesn't matter.' Naruto thought. 'Though you never did tell me exactly WHY you attacked Konoha that day....'
"Maybe one day I will, gaki, but not yet."
A moment of silence passed between the two. Kyuubi and Naruto had never necessarily liked each other, but there was a respect between them. They were bonded and that was a deep connection indeed.
Finally Kyuubi spoke up. "Okay, gaki. Sappy moment over with. Shouldn't you be paying attention to your target?"
Naruto blinked. Yes he should. Naruto prepared to move back down the wall when he saw Negi walk out of the house. He had one of those strange cards pressed to his head, as if communicating with it somehow.
Suddenly a magical circle appeared in front of Negi and a puff of smoke appeared. Naruto raised an eyebrow in confusion. It looked a lot like summoning...
And then the smoke cleared and Naruto got a good eye full of what, or rather who, Negi had summoned.
It was Asuna, and apparently she had been in the shower at the moment because she was quite wet.
...and naked.
Naruto was able to hold out for a moment before his perverted side gave in and he flew back with a nosebleed. Now normally that wouldn't have been much of a problem...except he was standing on the side of a cabin.
It was a painful few seconds.
The last thing Naruto heard before he passed out was Kyuubi saying, "And THAT'S why it doesn't pay to be a pervert and a shinobi...."
Naruto groaned ad opened his eyes, a monster headache already on him. What had happened? Then he remembered. The nosebleed and the painful fall...
'That would explain the headache...'
Suddenly he realized that he was inside. He sat up, ignoring the pain of protest in his head, and glanced around. He was in a bed in a small cozy log cabin and......
Cabin.
'Oh damn.'
"Hey, he's up!" Naruto whipped around and saw Konoka standing in the doorway. He immidiatly began to mentally swear as Negi, Asuna, Setsuna, Chahcamaru and Evangeline walked in. They all had questioning looks on their faces.
"Naruto-sensei..." Chachamaru started.
"What were you doing snooping around my house?" Evangeline finished, her voice deadly calm. Naruo gulped and calmed himself down. Shinobi training came back to him.
"Ah....well....uh..."
"You were spying on us." Negi said with a frown. Naruto sighed. Guess there was no way around it.
"Okay, yeah I was." he admitted. Setsuna frowned.
"For how long?" she asked. Naruto noticed that she had a hand gripped on the katana that she always carried around. Oh great...
Naruto could lie..but given the circumstances they probably would figure it out if he was.
"Since you got to the cabin.....no. I followed you from class. I saw you in that clearing." Naruto said, closing his eyes. Negi's eyes widened in panic while Setsuna frowned and began to draw the blade. Konoka had a worried expression on her face.
"N-naruto-sensei...does that mean that you.."
"Hai. I saw Negi using magic." Naruto said. He sighed and leaned back down into the bed, his head still pounding. At hearing this, Negi broke his silence and began to flip out.
"Wha!! Oh no. Someone else knows! You can't tell anyone Naruto-san! Please! No body can find out!!" he waved his arms in panic.
Naruto waved a hand at him dismissively. "Relax Negi-kun. I won't tell anyone your secret." he said. Negi looked up at him in surprise.
"Eh, really?" he asked in disbelief. That look was echoed on the faces of everyone present.
"Oh sure. It's not exactly my secret to share now is it. I was just curious because of the way all of you acted recently." He said. Evangeline silently sighed. These idiots don't know how to keep a secret...
"Neh ,sensei?" Setsuna asked. Naruto looked over at her. "How exactly did you hurt yourself?" she asked. Negi nodded.
"Yes. When I was outside, I summoned Asuna and then suddenly you fell out of nowhere with a nosebleed." he said, a completely innocent look on his face.
Naruto thought back to the moment and a little trail of blood escaped his nose when he remembered seeing Asuna.
"Ehehe, well I kinda saw you summon Asuna-san...." he left the sentence open. Asuna, up to this poit, had stayed quiet, an angry look on her face. If she had been pissed at Negi before that little incident, she was downright hateful now. At hearing Naruto's answer, she immediately stormed out of the cabi angrily, slamming the door behind her.
Negi turned and began to run after her. "Asuna-san! Wait!" he called. At the edge of the door, he stopped and turned back to the group. "Promise you won't tell anyone Naruto-san?" He asked. Naruto just nodded. Negi smiled and then chased after Asuna with Kamo running close behind.
Konoka turned and looked back at the blon-haired boy. "Well sensei, I guess now your a part of our little club." she said with a smile. Evangeline rolled her eyes.
"Oh terrific. Another idiot for the collection."
Konoka and Setsuna left next, saying that they had tests to study for. That left Naruto alone with Chachamaru and Evangeline.
The boy shifted uncomfortably for a moment. "Well, I guess I should leave as well. Sorry to bother you Evangeline-san." He said, standing up and heading for the door as fast as possible without being too obvious.
"Wait." A sharp command from the girl made Naruto freeze. He mentally cringed. Naruto turned back around to see Evangeline staring at him with piercing eyes.
"I sensed someone watching us during the fight with Chachamaru." She said. "That was you wasn't it." Chachamaru looked surprisingly at her master. Evangeline stared accusingly at Naruto.
The boy sighed. 'I suppose that I won't be able to get out of this vampire's home with out at least SOME truth.' he thought. Instantly he switched into cold ANBU mode.
"Yes. That was me." he said evenly. Chachamaru blinked in surprise while Evangeline narrowed her eyes.
"Just who are you really?" She asked harshly. "You can lie to those brats all you want, but I can sense power inside of you." Naruto gave her a cold smirk.
'And what will you do, Evangeline-san?" he asked in his best 'evil' voice. Even the vampire seemed a little taken aback at it. "Will you try to kill me?"
Evangeline snorted. "No. It would cause an annoying problem if you were to disappear suddenly. And besides, maybe you will provide a decent boost for the boya. But I highly doubt you are worth my time." She said smugly, turning her back to him in a dismissive gesture. Naruto gave a fanged smirk. He knew what would make this girl sweat a little.
"Hehe. I wouldn't be so dismissive Evangeline-san. Most things are never what they seem." Naruto drew up a small bit of Kyuubi's chakra and let it out in a small burst that shook the room.
Evangeline's eyes widened as she felt the chakra. It was painfully familiar. She whirled around to face Naruto....but the boy was already gone.
An:) and there you go! Longer than the last chapter. Yeah it's kinda surprising for me to update THREE chapters in a week, but I had a lot of free time on my hands... Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. As for the secondary pairings, I'm definitely leaning towards Setsuna for Naruto's second pairing.
Also I'm gonna give Negi a second pairing, that I will leave up to you guys. BUT, I will just say this. I'm not going to make Nodoka the pairing. Now before you guys go all "NO NODOKA? ZOMGWTFBBQ!" Let me explain why. I feel the same way about Negi/Nodoka as I do about Naruto/Hinata.
Too overdone and uncreative. It could just be my love of crack pairings talking, but let's try and be a little more creative here.
That being said, I hope you liked the chapter. Now I can't decide which story to update next so you guys can decide.
For the Greater Good, Path of the Outcast or Way of the Blade.
Well guys, until next time; Read and Review!
