The trial of darkness pt2

Naruto stepped in a silver arena covered with swords. However what was different was Chachamaru was standing in the centre dressed in her maid outfit. "Metal I should have known that it would've been you," Naruto said going for a sword only to have his hand pass through it. "Oh not funny!" Naruto said. "No it is not" Chachamaru said picking up a sword. "I can't touch them but you can?" Naruto shouted panicking. "I wouldn't panic if I were you because if you do the fever you have will increase," Chachamaru said. "Oh brilliant" Naruto said.

Naruto ran trying to grab a sword only to have them disappear. Meanwhile Chachamaru swung her sword repeatedly at him barely missing each time. "So close looks like I must increase my battle output 30%," Chachamaru said. "Great here I am defenseless, in a dream that could kill me and I'm about to die! I'm sorry guys," Naruto said waiting for the impact. "I don't think so!" A voice said as Naruto was surrounded by a red cloak "Kyuubi?" Naruto asked "Get up boy the robot is ready to kill and here you are waiting for it like an injured dog. Get up or I'll do it myself," Kyubi said.

"I'm sorry but I can't win," Naruto said. "Yes you can Naruto," a kind voice said. "Setsuna?" he asked as his girlfriend used their link. "Don't give up remember you are the Guardian Knight and Konoha's number one unpredictable ninja. Remember these things and you can win! I love you," she said kissing his cheek before vanishing.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki Konoha's number one hyperactive, knuckle-headed ninja and I won't give up!" Naruto declared scanning the area. "There," he said seeing a glint of light. 'If these swords are fakes then the real sword must reflect the light like it did with the thunder element. So the real sword is where Chachamaru was original standing' Naruto thought. "But where is Eva's doll?' he looked around. "Behind me," Naruto said dodging the aerial sword attack. "Incredible, you were ready to surrender a few seconds and now you are fighting. Your mind has done something to make you want to fight." she said "Oh I know now I'll summon the battle chain," Naruto said shooting it at the center. "JUSTICE TECHNIQUE: CHAIN BLADE" Naruto said swinging the blade around like a flail before throwing it. Chachamaru dodged the blade too late and began leak internal fluids. "Very good now go to the ice zone for you are one step closer to the dark element technique" Chachamaru said as a portal opened "The ice field."

The ice field was a concrete section covered in frost and had water on both sides. "This seems familiar," Naruto asked. "I remember now The Great Naruto Bridge that means...I have to fight him," Naruto said as he recalled the memory of an old and short-lived friendship. "Haku," Naruto said as the missing nin appeared. "Hello Naruto. For this trial you must reach that sword," Haku said pointing to a blade covered by a cloud of mist. "That's it?" Naruto asked. "Yes that is it." "Wait that's too easy. There's a catch isn't there," Naruto said as the mist went away to reveal a set of crystal ice mirrors.

"No not this again!" Naruto said as Senbon rained down on him. "Not again!" he said as he felt each needle embed themselves in his flesh causing massive pain. "I can't handle this" Naruto said as he started to rip them out only to have them replaced. "I have to reach the sword but that is where the senbon storm is thickest. Man this will be impossible to do," he grumbled. "Don't give up," Setsuna's voice floated in his mind. "She's right I have to find a way there," he said looking around, "That's it!"

Naruto found a lump of ice that he was able to push. "I'll get to the sword with this as cover," he said as the senbon hit the ice. "Impressive but did you forget about my range?" Haku said moving to a new mirror but before they hit Naruto changed sides and pulled his cover to the sword. "Just a few more inches," he said dislodginh the frost covered sword. "JUSTICE TECHNIQUE: COLD STRIKE!" Naruto said swinging it around smashing the ice mirrors leaving Haku on the ground. "I yield," the ice ninja said. "I'm glad I could see you again even if it was in my memories," Naruto said. "Goodbye my friend" he said.

Stepping though the portal Naruto found himself in a forest. "Wood element so that means..." "Yes," a voice said making Naruto turn to see a scary face. "BAHH!" he shouted leaping back. "Hello Naruto." "Yamato Sensei," Naruto said as Yamato smiled helping him up. "Find the wooden sword." the wood jutsu user said using his scary face at the end. "Good luck. Oh by the way the Konoha 11 and Kakashi will try and stop you from reaching both the sword and me," Yamato said as the sound of birds chirping were heard. "Raikiri!" Kakashi said shoving his hand into a tree. "Not cool," he said with wide eyes picking up the nearest sword. He swung in an arc, stopping halfway and using the flat edge to hit Kakashi sending him to the ground. "Sorry sensei," Naruto said throwing the sword away seeing Kakashi's hair broke it. "How in the world did your hair break that?" Naruto asked.

Naruto continued dodging Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba, Lee and Hinata. Sakura stood in his way and behind her was Yamato smiling. "Okay, just one more and I've got Yamato where I want him," Naruto said. "So Naruto do you like me?" Sakura asked unzipping her top. "Wh-w-what! Of course I like you," he stuttered. "Then why aren't you dating me?" "Um, Sasuke would kill me," Naruto said backing up against a tree before realizing Sakura was using her kunoichi charm to defeat him. "Nice try Sakura," Naruto said moving away from her and towards a sword. "Sorry to do this but," Naruto swing performing an uppercut "Like I said sorry and you are beautiful."

"Very good," Yamato said summoning a wooden spear "Mokuton: Wood Lance Jutsu!" Naruto grabbed a sword and swung it. When it connected with the lance the sword flew from his hand and was sent into the forest. "Try again," Yamato said as Naruto grabbed another blade and tried a horizontal slash. "Are you even trying?" Yamato asked. Naruto picked up a training sword made of wood. "JUSTICE TECHNIQUE FOREST BLADE," Naruto said charging the attack before blades shot out of the sword and injured Yamato. "Good work, now the light zone is next."

The Light Zone resembled a sunny day at Mahora. "The school?" Naruto asked. "Welcome back to the Mahora Duel Tournament where the winner will get this fabulous prize," Kazumi said indicating a door. "A trip to somewhere special while the loser will go home empty handed. Now to introduce our fighters! He's a teenaged, ramen eating, orange wearing ninja hero from Konoha! Give it up for Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki!" Cheers could heard from all around. "And his challenger is none other than the child teacher of Mahora class 3-A Negi Springfield," Kazumi said. "Now remember you have a five minute time limit."

Naruto had to immediately block due to Negi's speed. "I was expecting more from you," Kasumi said as Sayo joined her. "Bring IT!" Naruto said shifting to his high speed barrage taijutsu before branching off into his Frog kata striking Negi repeatedly. "Sagitica Magica Series Lucis," Negi said shooting off arrows of light. Naruto dodged each arrow before light gathered in his hand. "It can't be! I don't have the sword," Naruto said before Excalibur formed from the light. "Okay JUSTICE TECHNIQUE: EXCALIBUR'S RADIENCE," Naruto said striking Negi with a rainbow colored light. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 WINNER Naruto Uzumaki" Kasumi said.

"Good fight Negi. It's just sad that I can only see you in my dreams from now on," Naruto said. "No you don't because new ones with me will still be made," Negi said. "What do you mean?" Naruto asked as Negi faded. "Is Negi still Alive?" Naruto asked turning toward a door. "The Dark Element, the final technique I need to master Excalibur's power."

Naruto walked through the door and entered the dark element arena. It was Mahora Square at night with shattered swords scattered further than the eye could see. "No way! How can I fight if the swords are destroyed," Naruto said. "That is for you to find out." "Evangeline!" Naruto growled as the vampire stood on a lamp post. "So you're the final challenge," Naruto said gripping his fist tightly. "Find the sword, summon the technique and use it. Simple but there is a catch," Eva said as the sports group of 3-A appeared in Goth maid outfits. "You can't harm them otherwise well try not to think about it" Eva viciously said.

Naruto ran inside the nearest building as the four girls came after him. "Think quickly! This the girl's dorm and that means that Setsuna's swords should be in our dorm room," Naruto said running there. "Think again!" Eva said as she shot out arrows of ice barring the way to his dorm room. "Blast think quicker," Kyubi said. "Okay so where would I hide a sword related to darkness?" Naruto asked. "In the last place I would think," Naruto said turning around and running. "Where is he going?" Eva asked.

"The world tree?" Kyuubi asked. "Right, look at it. It's glowing and where's there light there will be shadow." Naruto reasoned. "Good plan. Let's just hope the chibi bloodsucker doesn't catch us," Kyuubi said as Naruto raced to the tree. "Wait won't the young hag have traps all over Mahora?" Kyuubi asked. "I think she will but which ones I'll set off is what she doesn't have knowledge of," Naruto smirked. "Clever" the fox answered.

"There's the world tree" Naruto said standing on a rooftop. "And you're free running?" Kyuubi asked "Best way to avoid traps and dodge Eva," Naruto said jumping down into the plaza, to see a black version of Excalibur at the base of the tree. "It's now or never," Naruto said grasping the sword. "Here she comes!" Naruto laughed. "Its over I've won! I've dodged your traps, conquered all the trials set before me and now I can use the dark element," Naruto said as the blade gathered dark energy. "JUSTICE TECHNIQUE: SHADOW SLICER!" Naruto said sending out a huge blade of dark energy. "See ya!" Naruto said as the attack connected transforming the world of Mahora into a bright area of light with Calibur and most of Naruto's trial proctors standing there.

"Well done, you have passed the tests and that means you are a true Guardian Knight," Calibur said. "Thank you, however one thing does bother me." Naruto admitted. "Negi's words; new memories are still being made with him in them. What do you think that means?" Calibur asked. "I'm not sure," Naruto said. "Awaken now it is almost dawn" Calibur said everything fading to black

Setsuna and Kushina were with Naruto. "Has he passed?" Setsuna asked. "I'm not sure," Kushina said. "I hope so because I've lost one friend and I don't want to lose another," Setsuna said. "Don't count me out yet," Naruto rasped. "Sweetheart," the women said. "How are you?" Kushina asked. "Good, I did it! The trial of darkness is completed," Naruto said happily. "Very good," Kushina said kissing his forehead. "Don't ever do that again you understand me?" Setsuna said. "Sure" Naurto said kissing her

An hour later, Naruto was looking at the horizon where Dragon's Ridge was located and felt it, a faint energy pulse. "Negi, what did you mean?" he asked in confusion
