Kill me.
So, quite a few things have happened since last update.
The largest being my computer going to shit on me and losing half my stuff. A couple of things included two future chapters of this story, which I forgot how they went, and the intro to another with Persona 3 FES.
I've also been on vacation. If it makes any of you feel better it was a shit vacay. The least fun I've ever had. But I'm back now.
Now to bring in the bad news for many of you.
As you all know this is my first story. As such, I'm not that good. And as much as this physically hurts me, seriously my friend tried to beat the shit outta me, Hanako is being left out of the harem. THERE ARE REASONS BESIDES ME BEING LAZY.
Te first being that as a new writer I need to find my style of: pairings and how to put them into effect. While Katawa does this for me, it doesn't give very good plot times. What I mean by that is the exact date events happen. For example, what day of the week Hisao meets Lily. I, being me, am not very good at matching up dates without it laid infront of me. So unless there's something like that out there and I'm blind af to it, Hanako cannot be with Naruto.
Another being the fact I can currently figure out a way to pair two women with our blonde hero. Why is that? Well, 1) I'm a noob. 2) I actually had something planned out for Kaguya and Lily a bit already. What are those well…all shall be revealed later.
And finally, I don't know how to work her into it seamlessly. To me Lily and Hanako have a mother-daughter relationship. And if Naru was going for the both…I can just see so much awkward happening. But now to some good news.
To appease the Hanako lovers, myself included, if this story does well and people want her to be with him I will dedicate a story to her and her only. Yes, there are two other stories that have her with Naruto, however I can't remember the last time those two were updated…Katawa Kitsune, one of the stories, I believe was updated last month now that I think about it.
So the final pairing will be Naru/Lily/Kaguya and Hisao/Misha. Yes my soft spot still exists for her to still be with him. Naruto is still going to help Hanako with her problems, but in a more…friendly manner instead of the romantical sense. I also feel like I may go ahead and give every girl a personal story.
Now that that's out of the way, I hope you all have been well and had a great time.

His palm flew out to catch the incoming fist of his clone. He slipped an eye open to see it smiling shakily. The now fully awake ninja squeezed the hand of his clone and was surprised when it popped.
Naruto blinked a couple times. "…The fuck? They usually last until I toss em into the wall." He sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Oh well, I'll figure it out later." He stood up and pulled open his drawer and saw it filled with the school uniform. Which he promptly ignored and slipped into a maroon shirt and grey pants with white sneakers that he had stashed in a seal on his arm.
Stretching his back he looked over at the piano and sifted through some of the clone's memories. Peeking out side it looked like it was 5 o'clock so he made sure the silence seals were still in place before he sat down and played a few notes.
"…Hmmm," Naruto rubbed his non-existent beard and stared at the keys. "C…D…E…F…G…A…B…then back to C." His fingers flicked to the shorter black keys and named the #'s and b's. (Sharps and flats for those who don't know.) The resident Jinchuriki closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.

Though it wasn't his 'real' first time playing, it technically was. Even so, Naruto's fingers seemed to know just where to go…and did it sound soothing yet sad all at the same time.
He made sure to keep the connection from his tenants cut for the time being as though they may have liked it, they certainly wouldn't at 5 in the morning…which reminded him. 'I really need to get a clock. I can't keep guessing what time it is'
The blonde finished his improve piece and moved to change again, he almost forgot he wanted to find the track. Opening a different drawer he found the gym uniform, a simple white shirt and red shorts. Gaining a light smirk he mumbled to himself", Two of the favorites…works for me."
Slipping them on he left the dorm and headed toward a fenced off area he had seen yesterday.
After a couple minutes of walking he made it to the track and saw it empty. "Good, I don't have to hold back just yet then." Naruto walked to the start line and made a mental count to zero in his head. As soon as 'o' left his thoughts he shot off with only a thin red line trailing behind him a few inches.
While running, Naruto felt the air pressure in front of him begin to separate. Knowing what it was he slowed down almost immediately. Coming to a stop, he finally noticed how into his running he was. It was much brighter, some of the grass next to the track was ripped from the ground, if one looked closely one could see imprints of where his feet were when he started, and not only that but he could also see the other…person…staring….at him…..,"…Fuck."
Emi thought today was going be another normal day. Wake up, dress for her morning run, run, get back and shower, help Rin dress, take her classes, do her homework (somewhat), then run back out to the track and check in with Nurse. All that stopped however when after she made it to the track she came upon the sight of wind ripping toward her destination. She stopped to observe just in case.
After it looked and felt like it was slowing down she approached the track. When she came up to it she…for a lack of a better term was in shock. Here, running around the track, just under blurring speeds, was a kid in the standard gym uniform. He must be new, because she's never seen him before, but that's not important now.
Emi's mouth dropped and her mind blanked. "Was…was HE making that?!" It was the only conclusion she could come to. He was the only one here and he was going INSANELY fast. She started to see him slow down more and come to a stop.
He looked around him and gave a light grimace. Probably from the light damage he had caused. Then she noticed him turn his head to her slowly and all she heard was him give a light inhale followed by "Fuck".
Naruto stared at this small strawberry blonde, taking quick note of the prosthetic legs. "So is there any way I can get you to completely forget about this?" She just stared at him her jaw still dropped. He moved a bit closer and saw her tense slightly. He stopped and set his hands up placatingly," I'm not going to hur-guahch!" The ninja was cut off however when, he swears to Kaguya, she disappeared from his view and plowed into his stomach.
"That was so COOL! How can you do that? How long have you been doing that? Can you teach me? Are you wearing weighted clothes?" She was like he was when he was younger, just not looking for attention, but definitely three times the hyper. Naruto looked down at her and saw the large shining eyes she had, gleaming with excitement.
Naruto slowly backed away and rubbed his head," Uhm…I've trained, I got that fast only recently, maybe and I do sometimes." This was awkward. He was totally expecting her to freak out and run away. He reaaaally didn't want to see if he could put a block on people's memories here.
She was smiling so widely it looked like her cheeks would stick to her eyes. "Can we uhm…talk about this elsewhere? I don't feel comfortable speaking about it in public. Also it feels like classes start in like an hour." He saw her eyes widen and a small curse flew from her lips. She turned and ran for just a second before turning back. "I'm Emi by the way. I'll find you later!" With that she turned and ran from his view.
Naruto shook his head and sighed. "Not even a week. Not a single fucking week and someone already knows."
"Coulda called that shit kit.' 'Agreed."
Naruto's eye twitched," I don't need this right now, thank you." His only answer was snickers and a light laugh. "I'll talk with you two later. I need to think of what to say…especially to Nurse and Baa-chan."He could practically feel the smirk on Kaguya's face and the grimace Kurama held.
Checking around him to make sure the coast was clear, Naruto tugged on his chakra and did a quick Shunshin to get back to his room.
There was still enough time for him to take a quick shower so he did so and changed into what he originally pu on in the morning. He left the dorm not really seeing anyone around; it was still technically early for others.
To pass some time for the walk he started singing a song his clone had listened to.
(This Is Gospel- Panic! At The Disco)
This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Seeing a few more people as he neared the main building he skipped heading straight in. He still had time before he was needed. Some people saw and heard him, one being that strawberry blonde from earlier. She realized she never got his name so she followed him.
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds
But they haven't seen the best of us yet
It was a short walk from the school but it already felt barren of people. The area was covered in trees and the school roof was barely seen.
Emi was about to call out to him but stopped as he paused his stride and took a deep breath before…
If you love me let me go
If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
The fear of falling apart
And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart
As he let out a slow breath, the 'unknown' ninja turned to her with a small smile. "Can I help you, Em?"
Emi just nodded with her perma-smile in place. "Yea, I forgot to ask for your name just in case. Also, you're a really good singer. Are you going to be in music club?"
Naruto rubbed his head, slightly embarrassed for forgetting to give his name, and the compliment he was given. "Eheh, thanks." He smirked and jutted his thumb to his chest," I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and yes, I've got a little bet going on with Ms. Atsuko. One in which she will lose."
Emi let out a little laugh," I don't know about that, Naruto. Ms. A has angels luck in bets." They began walking back after she spoke. "So unless you're insanely talented to beat whatever challenge she's set, I pity you."
Naruto smirked and laughed lightly," If she has the angels then I have the devils. So far every bet I've had, I have won." They came to the doors of the school and said their goodbyes. Getting into class a couple minutes before-hand he slid into his seat slowly and gave a 'good-morning' to his purplette neighbor. She seemed a bit more comfortable with him as she gave him a smile and nodded her head.
"I guess my sage chakra left a bigger impression than I thought." "Are you sure using it so close to them was such a good idea? They're civilians who have had no connection to chakra before." Kurama impeded his thought, but he had a point. "Yes and no. If I hadn't she would've flipped and ran. She and Lily have never felt chakra in general though so hopefully nothing adverse will happen to them."
Mutou came in the room and cut his musings short. He missed yesterday, the least he could do, would be to pay attention today.
Throughout class he noticed Hanako giving him sideways glances. Not only that but it also looked like she wanted to ask him something.
After hel-class, he meant class, Hanako had disappeared ten minutes before after he gave her a quick smile and wave, Naruto walked up to Hisao, Misha, and Shizune.
"Hey you three." Receiving the customary 'Hi's' and one sign, he popped a squat next to Hisao. After watching Misha and Shizune sign back and forth for a bit he realized he could actually understand what they were saying. Those hand movements looked and read exactly like what Ero-sennin had taught him on his training trip. "Never know when your mouth but not hands may be bound, Gaki. Say you're out on a mission and can't speak. Then what will you do?"
"Hey, Misha, if you ever get tired translating just tell me and I can take over."
The pink haired girl looked to him in some surprise. "You know sign language?" Shizune, catching the movements also looked to him in shock, as well as Hisao.
"Yeap, I was taught a few years ago, but I still remember how to do everything." Naruto, to prove his point, signed this as well as spoke it.
Misha let out her boisterous laugh that grabbed other people's attention. "Well then Naru-chan, I might take you up on that offer some time." She winked at him and put her finger to her nose," We also may have to have a competition one day." Naruto let his own smirk play across his face. Hell he was having fun. Admittedly he'll have his plate full helping Hanako, explaining himself to Emi, and now he may just take it upon himself to break away Misha's mask.
And he knows just the person to help.
During Naruto's little talk with Misha, Hisao turned back to Shizune and asked a question, something about clubs. Shizune crossed her arms and stared at the two translators, both of whom looked sheepish at her stare. A small talk of clubs ensued and then it switched to the upcoming festival.
Hisao asked the question on Naruto's mind which was," What is the festival celebrating anyway?" Misha blanked and stared at Shizune who smirked and did a little flourish with her glasses. She signed out a quick answer which Naruto laughed at, getting a questioning look from Hisao. Misha nodded her head and turned to Hisao.
"Right…Who cares?" Misha looked Hisao straight in the eyes, with one of the happiest smiles Naruto had ever seen. If he was any lesser of a ninja he would have lost all his shit and laughed to death at the deadpan stare she received, and ignored, from Hisao.
The ninja just chuckled and bid them a farewell. It was technically lunch and he wanted some food.
Coming to a secluded corner he summoned some ramen from a seal and made his way to the roof access. Coming across Emi and an armless maroon head with a constant deadpan stare.
Both turned to him and Emi's eyes lit up and her smile widened just a bit more. "Hey, Naruto!" The hyperactive, "Hypocrite" "Shut-up", girl turned to the stoic girl. "This is the guy I was telling you about, the one that ran really fast!"
Naruto just stared at Emi. She told someone. Fuuuuck! Who else has been told? Is he going to have to start mind-wiping?
"Emi…who else have you told?" The shorter girl just looked at him and smiled re-assuringly.
"Don't worry Naruto. Rin here is the only person I told. I trust her with all of my being." That…actually made him more comfortable with her knowing.
The ninja let out a sigh. "Well that's fine I guess. I knew some people would find out but I really didn't think it would be my second damned day here."
The two females sent each other questioning looks. Naruto plopped down in front of them and stared at them directly in their eyes. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am a ninja of Konohagakure no Sato." He thought on this next bit for just a moment. "And I'm technically royalty."
Rin just blinked a few times with a raised eyebrow. Emi on the other hand stared at him like he was crazy. "A royal ninja? ...Riiiiigggght." She turned to the scarlet(?) next to her. "Forget I said anything."
Naruto's eye twitched. Even after she saw him this morning she didn't believe the explanation? Sealessly making a clone behind them, Naruto grabbed their attention. "*Huff* Fine if you don't believe me why don't you turn around and say hi to me."
Emi looked at him like he was even crazier but screamed when she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see a second Naruto next to Rin, whose eyes were wider than her foot.
"Wh-what the hell?!" Emi tossed her head back and forth between the two Naruto's.
"I told you,' Naruto smirked at their shocked faces,' I'm a ninja."
Finally both Rin and Emi passed out.
Well this awkward.
Please don't let anyone come up here right now.
Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter.
I will say this. Now that I thought it through it may, MAY be possible to keep Hanako-chan in. But that's a big may. And if she is, her story won't match up directly. I hope everyone has been well.
Tell me what you think of this chapter and…
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
