Chapter 4
"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" asked Yukari who was curious as she watched Naruto began to fill a small bag with some black colored stones.
"Collecting ingredients Yukari-chan," he replied without taking his eye off of his collecting. He'd wipe the sweat from his brow, feeling the weight of the bag he could tell that he was almost complete. Just needed a few more.
"For a spell maybe?" Yukari asked expectantly, thinking that Naruto's techniques were magic. "Do you need any assistance?"
"Not a spell Yukari-chan," Naruto said. "Ink"
"Ink?" Kurumu asked, somewhat confused.
"Naruto-kun uses ink when he experimenting with seals or painting, he doesn't buy it so he makes his own special batch." Moka explained.
Both Kurumu and Yukari hadn't known that. Just how many talents did Naruto possess?
After filling up the bag, Naruto gave a smile of satisfaction. "This should last me a good while."
"Do you need any help with that ink Naruto-kun?" offered Yukari. He shook his head and gave her a thoughtful smile.
"No, I should be able to get this done," he spoke to her. "Thank you for offering Yukari-chan," he carried the bag and gave his friends a fleeting look. "I'll see you guys tomorrow," he gave a wave and was gone.
The three girls watched his fleeting form, and Kurumu asked Moka. "Hey, Moka, do you know where Naruto-kun normally be?" She'd tired to catch him at his dorm room, but she'd never catch him there.
"Oh, Naruto-kun is always… around" Moka told her. She knew all the places where Naruto normally goes, but doubted that anyone would believe her anyway. She'd never believe it herself until she'd been to Myobokuzan for herself.

Flashback no jutsu
"Naruto-kun, why am I wearing a blindfold and where are we going?" Moka had asked, and Naruto couldn't stop himself from grinning. The blond wanted to share things about himself to Moka, and decided that it would be better to show rather than explain.
"Don't take it off yet Moka-chan, alright?" he asked, she nodded her head. He pulled a small scroll from one of the pouches on his jounin jacket and swiped blood across it. Instantly in a poof of smoke a much larger red colored scroll was now in his hands.
Naruto performed another seal and a clone of himself appeared, after giving the necessary commands. He took Moka and placed themselves in the middle of the large scroll. Giving a nod, the clone did as it was asked and Moka felt a shift in the air. But didn't know what was going on.
"Moka-chan, you can take your blindfold off now," Moka heard Naruto's voice and did as she was told. She opened her eyes and gave a gasp at what she saw. The two of them were standing on top of a large hill, and the environment was rich and stunningly beautiful. So much so that it left her breathless, and she saw what appeared to be toads walking around in a small village down below.
"Naruto-kun, what is this place?" she asked.
"It's… my home Moka-chan," Naruto spoke and tentatively took her hand into his. "I…I want to introduce you to my family, please?" he asked shyly, and his blush never left his face.
Moka gave a shy nod also, preparing herself to face her friend's family. Boy would she be in for a big surprise.

The following morning, Moka Akashiya was heading for school hoping to into Naruto when she heard a noise that sounded very animal like. She turned around and squinted her eyes to get a better looks. She then gasped when she saw it. What the hell was a fox the size of a horse doing in Youkai Academy?
It was red, with white highlights on its tail and paws, and it was massively built and roughly was the size of a horse. The large fox fell in step next to her, and she was a little startled, but the smell was uncanny. She knew who it was.
"Naruto-kun?" asked carefully, hoping that she was right. The fox gave a large vulpine grin, and she recognized the grin and blue eyes. "Naruto-kun!"
Surprisingly it was Naruto and he was smiling at her, while giving her a wave with his tail. "Hey Moka-chan"
Smiling, she returned the greeting, "Ohayo, Naruto-kun." She admired the new Naruto. "How… how were you able to do this?"
"Oh, well, I was experimenting with my Henge and I never realized that whenever I used it, my physiology changes with it. So I gave a try and it works perfectly. "Care for a ride?
Moka smiled cheerfully before getting onto its back and hugging his body tightly, his tail wrapped protectively around her waist. "I'd love to!" Making sure that she was secured tightly, he broke off into an amazing run, and she could feel the wind literally whoosh through her hair. They tore down the path towards the school.
Being so close, Moka couldn't help herself, pushed aside some of his hair and bit down on his neck. Naruto yelped and nearly crashed into a tree in shock as the girl fed from him in this form, but he'd swerved around the tree in the nick of time. Moka couldn't deny that his blood did have a unique taste, no matter what he transformed into.

"Good morning, brat."
"Good morning, cow."
Both Yukari and Kurumu were waiting for Naruto. Ever since the succubus and witch first met, they'd developed a tense relationship. It was usually displayed in the way they traded insults. Kurumu would tease Yukari for being a little girl and Yukari would remark something about Kurumu's breasts. As usual, Kurumu was surrounded by her many admirers who were looking at her with hearts in their eyes.
"Waiting for Naruto and Moka I suppose," Kurumu guessed.
"Yes, and I think I found something that can help Naruto with wanting to make more of his special ink." What she really meant was that she'd spent all night making a potion for her Naruto-kun.
"Well, whatever," snorted Kurumu. She had made a cake for Naruto was going to share it with him. It was a symbol of her love, after all. Suddenly she blinked. "Huh?"
"What?"
"Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Listen."
Yukari focused her hearing and could hear something. What was it? It sounded like… footsteps?
Students got out of the way as whatever was coming came closer and it was revealed to be a large red fox that was the size of a horse. On its back was…
"Moka!?" cried Kurumu
"Moka-sama!" cried Yukari.
"Ohayo!" Moka waved, smiling brightly.
The fox gave a toothy grin as it stood in front of Yukari and Kurumu before said girl got off of its back. They all watched in shock as the animal lifted Moka off of its back and placed her safely on the ground.
The animal strode over with a vulpine grin, and used its tail to wave at them. "Ohayo Yukari-chan, Kurumu-chan"
Kurumu's eyes went absolutely wide, she recognized the voice. She couldn't believe what she was seeing before her very eyes, it was absolutely amazing. Who Naruto could transform into a full blown fox, fur and all? Most of the mail students were alarmed as well, and murmured to themselves.
"Na… Naruto-kun?" Kurumu admired, while stepping forward and touching his fur, she recognized it felt exactly like his hair when she would run her fingers through it. "Is that really you?" Kurumu asked curiously.
"Yea it" Naruto felt the wind knocked out of him as he was glomped.
"KAWAI!!!" Yukari shouted while hugging the fox's head to her chest, her hands stroked its glossy fur. She could sense something magical about this new form. She giggled excitedly when Naruto nuzzled and licked her cheek.
The fox let out a purr when she began to pet him and lifted Yukari off of the ground by its tail, and was placed on its back.
Kurumu only wished that Naruto would offer her a ride. Oh she was going to ask him about that much later.
Everyone had surmised that Naruto was a Kitsune. Kitsunes were powerful creatures and not many monsters could take them on in battle. Though there strength were depicted by there tails; and they surmised that Naruto was weak.
"So why did you transform Naruto-kun?' Moka asked.
"Well, for one, to solidify that I'm a monster," Naruto answered. "And to test it out and it works perfectly, though it feels a little weird." He placed Yukari on the ground and released the Henge, revealing his human form.
"Naruto-kun, you really are full of surprises aren't you, darling" said Kurumu.
Naruto grinned sheepishly. "Well, I try I suppose. Ready to go to class?"
They nodded and headed inside of Youkai Academy
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto Uzumaki was in class with Moka and Kurumu, and as soon as Nekonome-sensei mentioned clubs, he looked up at the teacher.
"Now, because our school mimics a human high school, it is mandatory for each student to join a club. This is so that, when we enter the human world, we can integrate ourselves into human society better," the cat-woman teacher said.
Naruto seemed rather contemplative about it. Clubs were something he didn't mind doing, and yet at the same time he really didn't like them. But saw no way out of it, Youkai Academy had a very mandatory policy concerning its clubs. That and he really didn't do well in big crowds.
.
"But, Sensei," one student spoke up with a joking smile. "That means you'd get an F with your disguise."
Miss Nekonome looked down and spotted her tail which was waving lazily. Her ears were also revealed on the top of her head. The cat-woman teacher blinked for a moment as the truth dawned onto her.
"RAWR!" she cried as she leaped at the hapless student. Her hands seemed a bit sharper as she slashed at the boy's face.
"Gagh!" the student cried as he stumbled with his face covered with scratches, and screamed in pain.
"Now," Miss Nekonome smiled, looking as if she just hadn't mauled one of her own students. "Remember that this is mandatory. There are a lot of clubs out there so make sure you find one for you."
As the students began to get up and look forward to their future club, Miss Nekonome added something else, "Oh, and make sure to visit the Newspaper Club too! I'm the advisor so don't be shy!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Classes for the day were cancelled because of the day's "Club Fair" All the school's clubs had set up booths around the courtyard to advertise their clubs to draw in new members. Naruto looked around with wonder and slight surprise. He shouldn't have been surprised that monsters had adopted human lifestyles. It was their way of surviving.
"Naruto-kun, have you decided on a club yet?" asked Moka who was with him.
"No, not really," he answered. Moka noticed that her friend had a faraway look in his eyes.
"Is something wrong? You can tell me."
"Well..." he began and shook his head. No reason to make her depressed over him, "It's nothing, Moka-san." He took her hand. "Let's go look around, alright?"
Moka blushed as she felt her hand in his and returned the gesture with a smile. "Sure."
They passed by several club booths. The first one had been the Photography Club. Unfortunately, the president of the club was scary and was even asking if he could take more 'artistic' photos of Moka.
Then there was the acupuncture club which freaked both the Jinchuriki and vampire when one of the members instead of a dummy was covered in needles. The Mummy Club was just plain weird. As for the Chemistry Club, they wanted Moka to join with promises to make beautiful love potions together. Both teens escaped quickly.
"I don't think any of these clubs are right for me, Naruto-kun," said Moka.
"Same here," he agreed. There wasn't one Music or Art Club in the school, which was weird.
"Are you both looking for a club to join?" a beautiful girl with aqua marine hair asked. She was in a bikini and sarong. Naruto blushed bright red when he saw her.
"Uhhh..." he stuttered.
"I'm Tamao Ichinose, 2nd year student and President of the Swimming Club," she introduced. She looked Naruto over with a serene smile. "You're Naruto Uzumaki, right? I've heard a lot about you."
"You have?" he blinked.
"There are a lot of rumors about you," she leaned in very closely. "I wonder if they're true."
"Stories can get exaggerated," he said to her. Moka didn't like the way the girl was getting close to Naruto so she tried to pull him away.
"Naruto-kun, let's go look around some more," she said.
"Come back anytime, Naruto," Tamao smiled sultrily. "The Swimming Club's doors are opened to you anytime. And I do mean… anytime." She winked.
"Hai," Naruto nodded dumbly. "Ja ne." Moka dragged him off. In his mind, he was actually thinking of seeing Moka in the Swimming Club with him, or to be more precise in a bikini. He even envisioned the two of them in the water, kissing, which brought another blush to his face. 'She's a friend. Just a friend,' he mentally tried to convince himself.
"Moka-chan, didn't you like the Swimming Club?" Naruto asked.
"No," she shook her head. "I can't swim."
"I could teach you," he offered.
"No thank you," she said curtly.
As for Moka, it wasn't like she didn't want to join the club; it was that she couldn't join. Water wasn't exactly pleasant to her because of her race. She hadn't told Naruto this but water was a weakness. It sapped her strength and with most of it already gone due to the seal of her Rosario, she'd be even weaker.
Naruto, though he'd learn about monsters during his time here, still didn't know much about the other monster races, so he didn't know about Moka's weakness at all.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Their hunt for a good club hadn't panned out at all. Many of the clubs were filled with creepy people who kept drooling over Moka; literally in some cases. The rest were filled with gung-ho people who Naruto and Moka definitely knew they were in no shape to join up with.
"What should we do, Moka-chan?" asked Naruto as the pair sat on a bench, watching the club booths doing their best to reel in new members. "Most of the clubs are filled with strange people that give me a bad feeling."
"Yeah," Moka sighed grimly. "We have to join a club but most of the people are scary."
Both demon container and vampire sighed grimly. They were going to get in trouble unless they managed to find a club that suited them. Too bad the interesting clubs had people who were obsessed with one or both of them.
Among the clubs that tried to bring them in was the Video Game Club that desperately wanted Naruto to join since they wanted to know how he beat the class representative. The girls of that club were doing their best with their cosplay outfits that resembled the scantily dressed characters in some games.
"Oh? Still having trouble?" a voice asked from the side.
Moka and Naruto turned to see whom was talking to them and found Tamao smiling at them. Moka stiffened slightly and Naruto nodded politely. It was hard to pay attention since she was still in her swimsuit.
"We're still looking," Moka insisted as she shuffled closer to Naruto. "There are plenty of clubs left."
"I'm sure," Tamao nodded as she walked up to the pair. "You know, the Swimming Club is holding an exhibition show for future members. Maybe you should consider it?"
Moka gripped Naruto's hand and tightened her hold on it. She really didn't like the way Tamao was looking at Naruto.
"We'll come and watch," said Naruto, accepting the invitation. "Won't we, Moka-san?"
"Naruto-kun, I…"
"There won't be any harm in us just watching," he reasoned. We can stand far from the pool too." He suspected that she may have a fear of water.
Moka really didn't want to go but she couldn't really hold Naruto back from joining a club if he wanted to. With a sigh, she relented, "Alright, we'll come and watch."
"See you there," Tamao winked before walking off.
"That was very nice of her," said Naruto.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Naruto-kun!" Kurumu glomped him as soon as he arrived at the pool. The hapless boy waved his arms around to regain some semblance of balance with the amorous succubus clutching to him.
"Kurumu-chan!" he shouted and she let go. He then got a good look at her and his eyes bugged out. "What are you wearing?"
"You like it?" she posed with one arm behind her back and the other behind her head as she thrust her chest forward. She was wearing a yellow bikini and every movement she did made her breasts jiggle. The boys were staring at her and drooling at the sight. "I picked this one out since we'll be joining the Swimming Club together.
Naruto tried to look at Kurumu's face and away from her breasts, "Ano…I don't think I'll be joining the Swimming Club."
She smirked sultrily. "Oh, you'll change your mind soon," she purred while stroking a seductive finger on his belly.
KLONG!
"Itai!" Kurumu held her head in pain as she glared at the little girl who'd made the bucket hit her head. "You brat!" she hissed to Yukari who was wearing a blue school swimsuit.
"Stay away from Naruto, temptress!" proclaimed Yukari. She still had her hat. She approached Naruto and hugged his arm, giggling girlishly. "Naruto-kun, watch me, OK?"
"Hai," he nodded.
Yukari looked around, wondering where Moka had gone. "Where's Moka-chan?"
"Oh, she said she needed to get a drink," Naruto said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Moka leaned against a vending machine, sighing dejectedly. Just what was wrong with her? Why couldn't she tell Naruto the real reason she couldn't go into the water? That it would weaken her? Was she afraid he'd view her as weak or something or maybe she didn't want him to pity her? She really did want to be in the same club as him but if he ended up joining the Swimming Club…
She heard her Rosario speak, "You fool. You know that water drains our power. You're already weak with the Rosario. Why add on to it?"
"But I really want to be in the same club as Naruto-kun…"
"If he's your friend, he'll understand. He's shared his secrets with you, deep secrets. The honest thing to do is to share yours."
Could Moka really do that and bare all her secrets to Naruto-kun? Could she trust him with the knowledge?
Yes, yes she could…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At first it'd been all fun and games. There were some contests being held by the Swimming Club that Yukari and Kurumu participated in. Boys interested in joining the club were in their trunks while some of the other boys just wanted to ogle at all the girls in their sexy bathing suits.
Naruto stood on the sidelines, waiting for Moka. He wondered what was taking her so long and if he should look for her but his attention was being drawn elsewhere. He then knew what it was when he saw it.
All of a sudden, the Swimming Club showed their true colors when the boys joined them. They were biting on the boys' necks and Naruto watched, horrified, as he saw their bodies wither and shrivel up as the girls continued to feed on them.
He backed away but then bumped into someone. Turning around he saw that it was Tamao Ichinose. She grinned, "Leaving so soon, Naruto-kun?" Something was definitely not right with her.
"What's going on?" he asked as he backed away from the girl who was stalking towards him.
"Oh, you don't know?" she smiled. "It's simple really." He then gave his chest a light push and he realized that he was standing at the edge of the pool. He flailed his arms around before falling with a splash. Tamao dove in after him, assuming her true form. Her ears were replaced by fins and she gained gills on the sides of her neck. Her legs were also replaced by a fish's tail.
'Mermaid!' Naruto realized. He looked around to see the other members of the club were also mermaids. "Oh shit!"
"We mermaids enjoy feeding on the life energy of men," Tamao said as she swam closer to the helpless boy. "Human life energy is the best and you smell just like a human." Naruto gulped. "Now, don't be shy…" She grabbed his shoulders and opened her mouth.
"Let him go!" shouted Moka as she appeared. Naruto saw her.
'Moka-chan!'
"So, Moka Akashiya finally showed up," Tamao grinned. "Rumor says you're a vampire and because of that you can't go into water. It's your weakness." To emphasize, she splashed some water in Moka's direction, causing the pink haired vampire to jump back in fright.
'It is?' Naruto thought. 'Is that why she didn't want to join?'
Kurumu and Yukari were trying to rescue Naruto too but the mermaids were proving difficult for them. They could only watch the exchange with looks of worry.
"Maybe so, but I won't let you harm Naruto-kun," said Moka defiantly. She wasn't going to let anyone hurt him.
Seeing how Moka was willing to risk her own safety for his sake made Naruto come to a decision. Naruto really hated fighting girls, not that he had never done it before. but he didn't like it. Naruto decided now would be an exception. He dove down into the water.
In second's his appearance changed, and the chakra began to flow through him. Filling him with strength since he knew that in his normal form, mermaids would outclass him in water hands down. So he decided to add to the mix some extra fire power.
Tamao was stunned and an impact to her stomach pushed her violently pushed her away.
"W-What?" Tamao stared at Naruto as he stood in the middle of the pool. All the other mermaids stared at the transformed boy, and the water beneath his feet simply hissed and turned to steam where he stood. "What are you?" The red energy he was emitting felt similar to a vampire's. Was he supposed to be kitsune?
"Naruto-kun!" cried out Moka, relieved that he'd transformed. However, her relief was short lived when she felt a pair of hands gripping her ankles before pulling her into the pool. Moka splashed around and screamed as the water caused her pain.
"Moka-chan!" Naruto cried out and began to fight his way through to help her, despite the fact that he was surrounded by mermaids left, right and center. Despite the injuries he gained back from the mermaids in return, some bit his skin but he simply roared and threw them off of him.
But he realized that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to reach her in time, and she would surely drown in seconds. "Get off of me, you overgrown pieces of tuna!" Naruto punched two girls in the jaw, but was pushed back by a tail swipe out of nowhere, this was getting nowhere. He couldn't use kage bunshin in this state, since the clones would simply double over in pain, thus being useless and leaving him back to square one.
So his options were very limited, and he was getting frustrated to the least. He needed to save Moka, and he needed to do it now!
Naruto pulled and called on the power deep within himself, and instantly a huge tornado of energy shot out of his body. An animalistic roar left his mouth; it was so powerful that it pushed back the army of mermaids that had surrounded him. The red energy got the attention of Yukari, Kurumu and the mermaids as he dove under water.
"What's happening?" Yukari panicked. "Naruto-kun"
A figure then rose up standing on top of the water. He was only clad in swimming trunks and his eyes took on a more beast like appearance but kept there blue hue, his whiskers were more feral than usual. His incisors poked out of his mouth and his mouth and eyes were outlined with black and another tail swept behind him.
There in his arms was Moka, being carried bridal style. The vampire looked up to see Naruto looking down at her with worry.
"I'm here Moka-chan," he said
"Naruto-kun…" she smiled. "My rosario…"
"I understand," he said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held onto him as he withdrew his left arm from under her legs, allowing her to stand against him. He then grasped her Rosario and with a yank it was off.
The entire sky suddenly turned dark as the moon appeared in its crimson glory. The pool below appeared to be red in the light. Moka and Naruto were both surrounded in the aura and swarms of black bats that had enveloped them. The sheer power made several of the mermaids shiver in fear.
"Moka-chan!" Yukari gasped in delight. Her second idol was going to go all out on these mean fish girls!
The bats vanished inside of the aura while the energy began to vanish. As the aura began to finally dissipate, the image of Moka and Naruto could be seen again.
Moka-sama was still holding onto Naruto's neck while he was holding her up in one arm. In his hand he had the Rosario clutched tightly as his other hand was supporting Moka's body. Her body was dry and devoid of water, keeping it from draining her strength.
"Hmmm," Moka smirked. "Isn't this pleasant? Still, you know I dislike water."
"I didn't know" his voice was filled with frustration, though he kept it in check. He didn't want the fox to push anymore of its power onto him. Finally he picked her again in his arm, and the mermaids watched in shock and silence. No Kitsune they knew could actually walk on water.
Continuing without being stopped, Naruto came to the edge of the pool and set adult Moka lightly on her feet.
"Naruto-kun!"
"Naruto-kun!"
Both Naruto and Moka turned to see Yukari and Kurumu dashing over to them. Both had concerned looks on their faces, but their eyes were trained on Naruto in his two tailed state.
"We're not done yet!" the head of the Swimming Club shrieked at the four who would stand against her.
"Your right," Naruto spoke coldly as he turned to look at the collected mermaids. "But I will finish it."
Lightning suddenly crashed through the air as Naruto inwardly scowled at these arrogant fish women. Finally he began to walk towards the pool again. As he moved, rain began to fall from the sky.
Adult Moka flinched when water began to splash on her, but she felt no pain. Her eyes widened when she realized that her body was covered in a deep hue of blue, all the while she didn't notice when Naruto had shielded her body with his primary chakra.
"Get him!" Tamao screamed. "Suck him dry!"
The mermaids surged forward at the order, hoping to make Naruto their next meal. The feral teen didn't even seem concerned about what was approaching him. All he did was continue walking. As he came to the centre of the pool, the mermaids broke the surface of their domain and lunged at him. Their faces were no longer beautiful and looked eager to bite into his flesh.
Naruto finally reacted. Moving as fluidly as the water he was standing on, he took aim at the closest mermaid and threw a punch. The movement was so fast that it didn't even look like he threw a punch, all they heard was a loud bang. One unlucky mermaid screamed in pain and sent her sailing out of the pool.
Dozens and dozens of mermaids suffered the same fate as Naruto infused with the Kyuubi's chakra threw punches that cut into the sound barrier, and practically sent them rocketing out the pool. Each blow was so hard and fast that they barely saw him push his fist, and bring back to its normal position. The captain of the swim club could only watch in horror as her underlings were sent sailing and landing outside of the pool, or crashing into the fence in deep pain.
There eyes were white, teeth were visibly missing and blood poured out of their mouths. What was worse about it, was that he was beating them in there own element!
Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari all watched with grins on their faces. Moka had a more sinister grin on her face whereas Yukari and Kurumu were about to break out in cheers for their potential love interest.
Suddenly, some of the remaining mermaids decided that the vampire and her friends would make easier targets. Swimming through the water to the edge of the pool, they lunged out at the trio is a splash.
"Hmph!" Moka snorted. "Cowards! KNOW YOUR PLACE!"
Unleashing a demonic enhanced kick, Moka sent all three of the mermaid attackers sailing back into the pool. They didn't attempt a second attack either since they drifted back to the surface in unconsciousness.
Yukari used her magic to knock a few of them out with buckets raining from the sky as Kurumu punched them away with her succubus strength.
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Tamao roared. "How can you be beating us?! Kitsunes can't walk on water!"
"I'm a special case," Naruto answered. "Get it memorized."
"Either way, you're dead!" the enraged mermaid hissed. She then began swimming at Naruto at a breakneck speed.
"Looks like the fish doesn't know when she has lost," Naruto smirked. "Let's get that point across."
Naruto held his hand out to his side, gradually beginning to gather a large amount of chakra in his palm. He spread his legs and lowered his center of gravity, while he used his free hand and ensnared the shell shocked mermaid and tossed her into the air. Finally het gathered the right amount, and a ball of condensed chakra was present.
It was the size of a basketball roughly, much larger than the one he used on Kurumu and had all the deadly force to back it up.
"What…what is this?!" Tamao cried in shock, her body was coming back down
Naruto took aim and rotated his arm, like a baseball pitcher or as if he was performing a wind up punch and threw his leg into the air. "Here's the wind up, RASENGAN!!!!" and cast with all his might.
The orb flew like a bullet, and sliced through the air, slamming and consuming Tamao completely in a bright purple light.
"YEEAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGH!" the mermaid shrieked as the attack collided directly with her chest, and her body was consumed in purple light.
Tamao's cream of pain could be heard before her body was sent like a shooting star and she spiraled into a building. There behind her, the wall held a huge spiral pattern that was much larger than her. Her eyes were white and she slowly began to crumple to the floor, before passing out from the blood lost.
Seeing his job completed, Naruto turned and headed back to his friends. He walked upon the water until he reached dry ground. Naruto stopped calling upon the chakra within himself and his features turned back to normal. His tails returned from whence they came.
"Oh Naruto-kun!" cried out Kurumu as she glomped the boy, nearly causing him to slip back into the pool.
"Naruto-kun!" Yukari cheered. "That was amazing!"
"Uhh…Kurumu-chan," said Naruto as he patted her back. "Could you get off me for a second, please? I need to return something to Moka-chan." Kurumu pouted and reluctantly let go. The Jinchuriki approached Moka and handed her the rosario back. She gratefully took it into her hand and looked at him with interest.
"You really are full of surprises, Naruto Uzumaki," the super vampire spoke and grinned. "I hope to see more of your abilities in future." And with that she attached the Rosario to the chain, sealing her power once more. Regular Moka was about to collapse forward but Naruto caught her in his arms.
Naruto looked at Moka who smiled back at him. He then decided to ask, "Ano, Moka-chan? If you don't like water how do you take showers?"
Moka giggled. "I don't. I take special herbal baths." She knew he would ask that once he found out about her weakness.
"OK." That made sense.
Needless to say, none of the friends wanted to join the Swimming Club after the little stunt the senior members had pulled. After Kurumu and Yukari got their regular clothes back on, all four friends made tracks. Unfortunately, most of the club booths were full and the ones left were clubs that were either filled with weirdoes or clubs they didn't want to join.
At the moment, the group of friends was sitting in the cafeteria. Kurumu sighed, "I guess we don't have any clubs to join now, huh?"
"Guess so," admitted Naruto.
"I'm just glad Naruto-kun is safe," said Moka.
"I'm sorry I brought you to the pool, Moka-chan," Naruto apologized. "I didn't know that water did that to you."
"That's okay Naruto-kun," Moka smiled. "I never told you so how would I expect you to know?"
Naruto gave a foxy smiled at Moka's forgiveness. She could have been seriously hurt by the water and the mermaids, but she chose to forgive him anyway. He felt better about that much. Still, their main problem was still there. None of the good clubs had room for them now.
"What's this?" asked a cheerful voice and they turned to see their teacher, Nekonome-sensei, looking at them. "Why so blue?"
"We don't know what club to join," said Naruto.
"Oh, no problem!" said their teacher with a knowing smile. "Why don't you all join the Newspaper Club? All our members graduated last year so it's pretty empty. How about it?"
Naruto perked up. It was a chance for him and Moka to be in the same club. He asked Moka, "What do you say, Moka-san?"
"It sounds like a good idea," said Moka.
"Hey, let me join too!" said Kurumu.
"Me too! Me too!" Yukari added.
Nekonome-sensei smiled. Looks like the Newspaper Club was going to get some new blood after all.
An there goes another chapter. Wanted to get this out before Sunday, cause I'm going to a funeral procession for my grandparents and it might take really long. That and I was working on this from Friday so imagine my surprise when I got reviews, and about Henge. I realized that if Naruto could alter his physiology to a great deal, so imagine my surprise when I found that out.
I figured if he could use it for weapons, he could use to make people think he's a real live monster. Anyway give me your ideas and tell me what you think. I'll work on the next chapter as soon as I can.
Read and Review, constructive criticisms and what not.
Gotta hit the sack, its freaking 6:20 and I need all the energy I can get.
