Meaning that all three are being added into the harem…this is gonna be one super harem I can tell you.
Thought about doing the other stories but with how this is going I'll continue with this one since I do enjoy writing this story.
Hope you all still enjoy the story as it is and the changes I've made so far to the canon.
Be warned I can't write a good fight scene for toffee do please no complaints over it…PLEASE
Also to the review of Zimo please note that this story is a FANFICTION I mean there are thousands of stories similar to my own that start off bad but get better and you can't judge a story based off it's first chapter. Seriously I write this because I like to do it not because I have to. This is an outlet for stress so I do not need you comments if your not even going to say anything nice at all about it. if you think its so bad write your own story and make it perfect by your standards.
Sorry to rant that review got me annoyed anyway…
XChapter StartX
Zazie traded blows with Fate and seemed to match him but was worried, with all the people round she had to be cautious with her strength and magic. "You're open…" said Fate as he slammed his fists into Zazie's back making her cry in pain, the both didn't like to pull punches.
She quickly flipped into a kick to knock Fate away from her but she was breathing heavily as a result. "Must this continue…I'd rather leave get the girl and be done. The way you're fight right now only bores me" he said his tone showing it…not that his tone changed.
"…?" Zazie said panting slightly, her artefacts while powerful were extremely heavy and Naruto and she were still training with them. "I don't feel the need to tell you my motives girl so I won't" replied Fate coming in fast and giving Zazie little time to counterattack.
She focused all her strength into her right foot and pushed out with it to counter Fate's own kick causing a ripple in the air from the force of the two blows. Both fought for supremacy with their attacks only to have each cancel out each other and been pushed back by the recoil and Fate to dissolve into water.
Zazie knew she got lucky in the fight since she had held back but she knew that he was too so in an all out fight she did question where she was and hoped that Naruto was okay at the moment before falling unconscious.
Naruto flew over the building and spotted Negi standing in front of Konoka on a roof where the woman apparently named Chigusa was too with a demon archer. He cursed seeing the demon fire an arrow at the two so he pushed out more fire from his fists so that he could step in front of the arrow and grab it.
Sadly he wasn't fast enough and Setsuna was forces to take the shot for Konoka making her and Konoka fall from the roof. 'No…Setsuna-chan I've got to save them' he thought in panic the crowd around them gaped as the two falling girls were enveloped in a bright light.
Many of the crowd then took their hands from their eyes to see the two girls now being held by the white haired boy from before holding the girls with one arm and two 'fake' tails while his other hand kept them hovering in the air with flames coming from his hands.
Naruto noticed Setsuna's wound heal from what was Konoka's magic but noticed a sleepy look on Konoka's face 'she must be using the power unconsciously' he summed up. Konoka then seemed to wake up "Ah…Se-chan, Naruto-kun" she said happily as she saw her friend okay and her teacher by her side.
He lowered them both to the ground "The wound is…gone…" said Setsuna shocked before going on one knee to Konoka "O…Ojou-sama…you used your power…?" she asked. Konoka only looked confused "W…What was I doing? I was in some kind of trance…" Konoka mumbled as Naruto let them be thinking he had to pick up Zazie and thank her for helping.
'Zazie-chan, Zazie-chan…can you hear me' he thought through the pactio connection. He began to get worried when she didn't respond and quickly went to find her trying to pick up her signature and eventually found her unconscious against a wall "Oh…Zazie-chan" he said bending down to pick her up.
He held her close "I'm so sorry Zazie-chan…I should have stayed to help you. Damn it how strong is that boy?" he said as he heard a groan from thee girl in his arms. "…Naruto…-kun" she said with tired eyes "I'm here Zazie-chan, I'm here" he said relieved that she was awake.
"Is your friend alright?" asked a dark haired male with a chameleon on his shoulder and a beautiful woman next to him. "She'll be okay…but I should have been here, I shouldn't have left her alone. I underestimated that boy" he said with quilt in his voice for forgetting the most basic rule; don't underestimate your opponent.
"From what I saw she held back because of all the people round, she might have been better if the civilians weren't around. You should blame yourself for this" said the man trying to ease Naruto's guilt. "I guess…just means I have to think things through a little more and up my training more. Hope I'll have time for the others too" he said to himself as he began to walk off.
"Hey…" the man called pulling out a card "I'm a retired trainer/tutor if you ever need some help with things like this give me a call" he said handing Naruto the card. "Thank you sir, I'll be sure to do so" Naruto replied before running to get back to the others as the man walked back to his magenta haired wife.

"But is it really okay to not go help them? If it's just Sakurazaki-san…" said Asuna before she was interrupted "Asuna-chan the real me s there, I'm sure everything was fine and they probably lost any pursuers" said the clone.
"…Alright it looks like I'm finally recovered" said Negi standing up much to the twos girls protests "Wai…to recover you need to wait a little longer Negi" said Asuna seeing Negi wobble to which she and Nodoka grabbed hi before he completely lost balance.
"Asuna-chan, the real me is here I need to dispel" said the clone going puff in smoke as she heard "Oooi, Asuna" be shouted from her friend. "Konoka?" said Asuna surprised "She came?" she wondered as she looked to see her but lost it seeing who was in the group with Konoka.
Naruto was carrying Zazie in his arms while Kazumi and Haruna were at his side and Yue chatting with her best friend. Asuna had ended up giving Negi a piggy back since he still needed to recover with Konoka asking if he was alright and Asuna wondering 'Wha…What's with this situation…and what happened to Zazie?'
Naruto and the other walked ahead leaving Konoka, Setsuna, Negi and Asuna behind "Hey Sakurazaki-san what's all this? Zazie I can understand but why did you bring everyone with you?" Asuna asked in a whisper.
"No, that is…I ran here carrying ojou-sama and finally arrived here after a struggle but…just now Asakura-san and the others caught us there…"
Kazumi then pointed out to Setsuna "hehe, you're a hundred years too early to escape from me" she said with a grin while looking at Naruto carrying Zazie and was jealous seeing her snuggle into his chest 'Damn it I want that…I'm going to have to buff up my game' Haruna was currently having similar thoughts.
"Anyway I slipped a GPS locater in her luggage so we were able to track her easy just like that" said Kazumi proudly winking at Asuna. "Wait Asakura, Sakurazaki-san is also Sakurazaki-san you know" she shouted "Asakura do you not completely understand the danger? Negi almost dies just a little bit ago you know?" she said.
"What do you think happened to Zazie-san?" she shot back "Naruto-kun told me that some really strong fought her but because there were so many people she held back and got hurt. Naruto-kun has been blaming himself for it happening."
This shocked Asuna slightly hearing what had happened on their end "Ah look, look at that. Isn't that the entrance?" shouted Haruna pointing toward the large manor up ahead. "Uooo somehow there's quite some atmosphere huh~" she mused before rushing ahead with a "Let's go."
"Ah wait everyone, Th…that's the enemy base right?" Asuna said trying to stop them "Something's coming out…" said Negi seeing the doors open. While Naruto continued into the manor with the others passing the many servants bowing "Welcome back Konoka-ojou-sama" they all said.
"Uhhyaa these are all people from Konoka's house?" said Haruna confused while Kazumi mittered "So Iincho was just a normal ojou-sama…" Asuna turned to Setsuna "Sa…Sakurazaki-san what exactly is all this…?" she asked.
"Um that is basically…this is both the headquarters for the Kansai Magic Association and Konoka-ojou-sama's personal home" she informed them making Asuna and Negi pull faces yelling "EEEEEEEEEH?"
"This is the first time I've heard that. Why didn't you say so earlier?" Asuna asked incredulously "So…sorry" Setsuna apologised "Now, I had thought it would be dangerous for ojou-sama to get near the house but it looks like it back fired in cinema town"
She then gestured to the front door "If we enter the main house…I mean the headquarters we should be safe" she told them as Asuna got a good look at the manor "I…I see, so this is Konoka's house" she said as she came over to her.
"Asuna…are you mad that my house is so big?" Konoka asked nervously "Eh? No…I was just surprised" said Asuna assuring her friend "even if I'm used to Iincho's…" she muttered.
When the group entered the home one of the healers came over and took Zazie from Naruto and they said they'd look after her which he thanked them for before joining the others. "Is Zazie-san going to be okay Naruto-kun?" asked Kazumi seeing his face looking a little relieved "Yeah…she'll be fine Kazumi-chan doesn't stop me from worrying."
"Naruto-kun you don't need to blame yourself you couldn't have known how things would have turned out back there" she said hugging his arm trying to cheer him up he nodded a smiled a little "Thanks Kazumi-chan…I'm glad I have people like you around me, helps me to se things a bit better" he said making her blush a little.
"Sorry for the wait" said a voice from the stairs "Welcome Konoka's class mates and their teachers Negi and Naruto" greeted Eishun Konoe, Konoka's father. He was instantly tackled by Konoka "Otou-sama it's been a long time" she said hugging him "Haha, there, there Konoka."
Naruto smiled looking at the two but couldn't help but clench his fist slightly, he had got past his issues with his parents but he still felt the pang of wanting when he saw families together. "So Konoka-san's father was the western leader" said Negi shocked "Compared to the people in the house he's a normal person huh?" Haruna whispered.
"Or rather his face looks a little off-colour…" muttered Kazumi while Asuna had a blush on her face staring at Konoka's father "Tastefully wonderful…" she muttered a hand over her mouth. "I don't get your taste at all" Kazumi shouted making Naruto chuckle slightly.
Negi then walked foreword "Um leader-san this…from the east's leader Mahora academy president Konoe Konoemon….to the western leader, please accept this letter." Said Negi offering said letter to the man "Certainly, I've received it Negi-kun" said Eishun taking it "It was a tough job right?" he asked which Negi denied sheepishly.
He opened the letter and found a piece of paper with a chibi drawing of the principal shaking his fist at him while it read 'If you properly control those under you, what incidents would there be? Keep it together son in law' Eishun smiled at this 'Haha, I see my father in law is as harsh as ever.'
"…This is fine" he told Negi "In appreciation of the eastern leader's will we too will negotiate to end the discord between east and west. Please tell him that. Your mission is completed Negi Springfield-kun." Negi began cheering with the others as Naruto walked foreword to greet the man "Hello Eishun"
"Ah, you must be Naruto I had word that my father in law found an odd teacher for the new year, but can I ask you something?" he said gesturing him to come closer which he did "Can you sign this for me…I got a news report saying that you gave these to the world and I'm quite a fan" he said holding out a copy of Icha, Icha.
Naruto sighed at Eishun's request thinking he'd get more of this when he got back to Mahora; he quickly signed it as Negi came back over "Um…we're in the middle of a school trip so we have to go back…" he told Eishun a little nervous not wanting to refuse his offer of the banquet "That's fine I will send substitutes for you" answered Eishun "My clone will be alright there to check on things too Negi" Naruto said.
Not too soon after the girls were all enjoying themselves at the banquet and managed to get intoxicated not knowing there was alcohol in their drinks. Eishun came over to Negi, Naruto and Setsuna and called out to her "Setsuna-kun" she responded by kneeling on one knee.
"Th…This is, leader to speak to some one like me" she said as he waved her off "Haha…please don't be so formal. You were always that way" he chuckled. "…these past two years thank you for guarding Konoka. To answer my selfish request you did well. It must have been difficult."
"Ha…No protecting ojou-sama was my desire from the beginning…those are wasted words. But I offer my deepest apologies" Setsuna blushed as she was whacked in the head by Naruto "Setsuna-chan you forced yourself to distance yourself from your closest friend in the name of her protection that deserves praise and thanks. Plus you took that arrow without a second thought."
"Ah yes I had heard Konoka had already used her power" said Eishun "Indeed Konoka-chan's power healed the wound completely, no doubt because Setsuna-chan is such a precious friend" suggested Naruto. "Yes or simply the trigger for Konoka's power was her pactio with Negi-kun here" he said with Naruto and Setsuna muttering "Most likely…" surprising Negi.
"Au, eh? Why do you know…I…I…is that so? Th…That is, I…so…Sorry" he panicked as Chamo tried to sneak away "Haha, it's fine Negi-kun" Eishun assured the boy. "I wanted Konoka to have a normal school girl's life" he smiled "At any rate this day might have happened anyway. Setsuna-kun can I ask you to report this to Konoka?" the girl nodded surprise at the request.

We now find ourselves in the bath with Asuna and Setsuna bath sighing in relief at the feel of the water. "Fui~ so many things happened today that I worked up a sweat. This is so refreshing~" said Asuna."Fufu…you must be exhausted so please take your time bathing" Setsuna said back.
Asuna leaned back into the bath "But really this is a huge bath huh" she mused "Although I really was surprised by the whole mansion's size…" Asuna seemed to star off for a second "Ne, Sakurazaki-san where did Naruto go after the meal…he seemed to disappear?" she asked.
"Naruto…I saw him head to the healers room…he probably went to check on Zazie-san" she answered "Oh…okay… just curious but Setsuna is it true you offered your body to protect Konoka?" Setsuna was caught off guard by this question. "The way you act seems different from being just a regular bodyguard."
Setsuna then grabbed Asuna with a very red face screaming "Wh…I…I…It's not that kind of relationship" she then took a moment and took a deep breath "Talking about that, what about you Kagurazaka-san?" she asked her friend "The way you tried your hardest to help Negi-sensei seems a little odd"
Asuna went beet red at the accusation "Wh…Wh…What are you talking about?" she shouted as Setsuna shot "For a normal person like Kagurazaka-san to be in such dangerous situations even to help." Asuna began splashing the water in denial "Wro…but he's just a brat so I was worried, that's all hell I get angry that Naruto puts him in those situations.
"What do you mean?" Setsuna asked confused as Asuna looked down at the water "Naruto…he says he wants Negi to grow so he lets him go into dangerous situations on his own. It gets me so frustrated…so much that I slapped him after the last one he put Negi in" she admitted embarrassed remembering how he had explained his reasons.
"Hmm…didn't expect that of you Kagurazaka-san, seems you have an odd relationship with both senseis" Setsuna jokes "I DO NOT" she shot back red face "Kagurazaka-san…I'm only joking you know?" she said bowing her head in apology.
"I know…but please call me Asuna from now on" she told her trying to calm her red face "Ah is that right well then the same for me too" she replied smiling at her. "Um Asuna…there are mahy things I want to talk to you about but…later would it be okay to come bathe here with Konoka-ojou-sama?" she asked.
"Eh…? Yeah that's fine but…" she then heard the sounds of laughter coming from outside the door. "But really to be a teacher at ten is amazing" said Eishun "Yeah surprised me when I first heard it too" added Naruto while Negi stuttered "No that is…"
"Those voices are Negi, Naruto and Konoka's father" said Asuna as Setsuna panicked "Wha…awawa, what should we do Asuna-san?" she asked as she pulled Asuna to hide behind a rock as the door opened. "I leave Konoka to you two Negi-sensei, Naruto-sensei" said Eishun smiling "Yes I understand" said Negi while Naruto nodded "Do you two mind me being myself in here?" he asked getting shakes from them and Chamo as he was perched on top of Negi's head.
Naruto then let out his ears and tail in all their glory "Ahhh…feels so much better like that. I love having a tail but at times it can be troublesome" he said getting chuckles from the other two. "Se…Setsuna-san why are we hiding?" asked Asuna "So…Sorry just now my usual habit came out…" she admitted.
"Naruto-kun…can I ask how is it you have ten tails most mythical creatures only go up to nine tails?" Eishun asked as Naruto sighed "because the ten tailed wolf is the amalgamation of nine tailed beasts. Back in my era the tailed beasts were beasts of extreme power so as you can probably guess they were used as weapons in wars and conflicts. The beasts would be sealed in regular humans into what we called junchuuriki and I originally held the nine tailed fox."
Everyone in the bath was listening intently now to Naruto explanation "eventually someone wanted all the beasts for themselves so they could rule the world…I had stopped it from happening but at a cost…I became the new ten tailed beast" he looked at the palms of his hands. "My situation was not unlike Konoka-chan's as a jinchuuriki we were sought after for what we held and I didn't even know I held that power until I was 8 it was a harsh truth I found out on my own. However Eishun I feel the need to tell you what you did for your daughter was both kind and cruel."
"Wha…What d you mean Naruto-nii…?" Negi asked shocked as was Setsuna for Naruto criticising "Konoka-chan holds a great amount of power so you hid her away and ignored it whereas you could have had someone teach her to protect herself in case someone was sent to catch her. By not doing so you left her vulnerable…on the other hand if you did she most likely would have lost her childhood."
Eishun sighed "I see what you mean but I did what I thought best for my daughter, I only wanted her to be happy" this caused a flinch in Naruto face which only a few noticed. "Eishun-san…what is the monkey lady's objective?" Negi asked starting a new topic "Monkey…Amagasaki Chigusa you mean…she fights a lot of western mages, it seems like she has some kind of grudge…geez what an annoying person."
"But what does she want to do with Konoka-san?" he then asked "They want a trump card" he told Negi "Like Naruto-kun said Konoka holds great power and this power surpasses your father the thousand master and Konoka was potential to be a mage of unbelievable power. So if Chigusa gets a hold of her the west thinks they could easily conquer and defeat the east" he explained.
"Huh…you know the thousand master…?" questioned Negi hearing his father's title. "You mean about your father? Fufu I know him quite well" Eishun said smiling then giving him the thumbs up "At any rate I was that idiot Nagi Springfield's inseparable friend after all."
The three then heard some of the other girls getting closer and saw their silhouettes in the door I think you two are in trouble" said Naruto relaxed Huh?" both Eishun and Negi replied but watched as Naruto's form shifted from his hanyou form to a simple white wolf with one tail. "Better hurry you two" he chuckled as Eishun and Negi ran across the bath "This is an emergency situation Negi-kun, get away from the door" he told him as Negi began to panic thinking how bad this could turn out.
Asuna and Setsuna were at a loss during this "Th…They coming here what do we do?" asked Asuna while Setsuna didn't have a clue what to do and had swirly eyes from the panic. Negi then managed to crash into Asuna his hand on her chest just in time for the girls to walk in on them and all began screaming at the scene while Naruto just enjoyed the scene and the little clarity it granted.
However Haruna had spotted him in the onsen "Hey girls look there's a cute dog in the bath" Naruto sweat dropped seeing as how a lot of the girls were still tipsy and could tell the difference "Awww, he looks so cute, lets wash him" suggested Kazumi making Naruto's eyes widen and he tried to run out the bath but was caught by the tail by Haruna.
"Oh no you don't your staying here so all these pretty girls can wash you inu-kun" she said smiling puling him back into the water while Naruto didn't know if he should be happy or scared right now as the girls began washing him and showing him everything '…Ero-sennin would kill for this…' he thought to himself as the five girls took pleasure in washing his soft fur.

Outside overlooking the Kansai headquarters were two figures, Fate and Chigusa "Che, hey newbie, you're the one who said to let them go so I left them alone" she said annoyed "But now they entered the headquarters and we can't interfere and they even handed over the letters…"
Fate turned to her "The situation is fine. Please leave it to me" he said sounding bored as he jumped down from the tree branch ;let us see what you are truly capable of Uzumaki, Juubi no Okami' he thought.

"Waa, cherry blossoms at night are beautiful…" said Asuna watching the petals fall from the trees "Yeah, here they bloom until it's pretty late" commented Konoka. 'Haa…but for Konoka to be a mage is…and also Konoka's father is the Thousand Master's, Negi's father's friend that Negi had been searching for. On the other hand Naruto…he said he had a beast sealed inside him and became one too. Why is this all happening and what about Naruto just makes me so curious' thought Asuna.
"Just who are you Naruto?" she muttered "What's wrong Asuna?" Konoka asked "Eh, no nothing…" replied Asuna as she lost her train of thought. "Ah…you know…Konoka…" she tried to start "What Asuna?" she replied "…Ah no, it's nothing" Konoka giggled "Asuna's being weird."
Both continued their walk down the corridor "I wonder what Se-chan wants to talk about" Konoka thought aloud "Yeah what could it be…?" said Asuna a little nervous before hitting her head on something hard. Asuna and Konoka both looked to see a room full of statues that looked a lot like the maids all in a state of panic.
"Wh…What is this…" asked Asuna a little frightened "Statues…these were here?" said Konoka confused.
On a different side of the complex Negi was running through the halls "Yeah so Konoka-san's father is my father's friend" said Negi happily with Chamo on his head "But the latter's been delivered and he said tomorrow he'd lead me to the house my father used to live in. we acheved all our objectives right Chamo-kun"
"Right Aniki" his friend replied as there then heard a loud scream "Ch…Chamo-kun just now that was?" Negi said now alarmed and on guard "A scream, from nee-chan's room" he told him as Negi ran to the room and opened it to find Haruna, Kazumi and Nodoka all standing still.
"H…huh, everyone what are you doing? You're all stiff, is this some kind of game?" he asked turning n the light to find that the three girls were frozen in stone "This is…ASAKURA-SAN, PARU-SAN, NO…NODOKA-SAN?" he shouted.
"This is high-class petrifaction, onmyoudo magic has this too?" noted Chamo on Haruna's head as Negi began shaking Nodoka's statue "Nodoka-san, Nodoka-san he cried. "Calm down Aniki it was them. This isn't the time for crying you need to find Naruto-sama and ane-san and the chief."
"That right, Asuna-san" he said running around shouting her name out 'n-not here…it can't be Asuna-san' he thought imaging he petrified body. "Ha…That's right the card" he said pulling it out "That's right Aniki" jumped Chamo.
'Asuna-san, Asuna-san' Negi called through the link "Negi? Where are you?" she shouted surprising Konoka then remembering her card "Ah, right Telepathy" she said holding the card to his head. "Negi are you okay? I'm here with Konoka right now, do you know where Naruto is?" she asked.
"Thank goodness Asuna-san…and Naruto-nii hasn't been seen since the bathroom incident" he told her 'Okay but what happened? All the people in the mansion turned into stone…' Asuna asked "Those guys have come here, be careful' Negi told her. "Those guys…why? Wasn't that thing settled?" Asuna said back.
'At any rate the one being targeted is Konoka-san. Lets meet up the place is the bath from before, I figure out a way to let Naruto know if he hasn't already' Negi instructed Asuna "Got it" she said taking the card from her head. "A…Asuna, what happened?" Konoka asked worried.
"Konoka listen closely" Asuna said gripping her shoulders "Some bad people have come here and are targeting you. So we're running away okay" she told her friend. "B…Bad people…as in this afternoon's people in cinema town…?" she asked sweating "Right but its okay you can relax" she said flipping her card "Because I'll protect you, Adeat" her fan appeared in her hands.

"Mean Virga" called Negi making his staff fly to hid hands "Aniki calm down got it? if they specifically used petrifaction then that means they didn't intend to inflict harm" Chamo told Negi holding in to his back "Yeah but…" he was stopped by Setsuna blocking his path and clashing with her sword.
"Setsuna-san? You were in the bath? Asuna-san said…" Setsuna waved her arms "I just felt a bad presence s I rushed here, what happened? Ojou-sama is…" Negi tried to explain but was cut off "Ne…Negi-kun, Setsuna-kun" came the strained voice of Eishun.
Both turned to see him half petrified from the waist down "I…I am very sorry you two. It looks like I overestimate the temple's protective barrier a little bit" he apologised. "Is it because of the extended peaceful times I wonder…taking advantage of the unexpectedness led to this situation…for a former companion of the Thousand Master…this is pitiful."
"Leader" Setsuna shouted as the petrifaction reached his shoulders "Negi-kun, Setsuna-kun be careful of the by with white hair…Naruto-kun told me he's much more powerful then anyone he's seen so far perhaps similar to Evangeline's power. No normal charm caster would be able to get past the barrier…"
The petrifaction encroached upon his face "You guys and Naruto-kun may have it hard…contact the principal" he said as the last of his face turned to stone "Sorry…please…take care…of Konoka" he then went silent. "Leader" Negi shouted but only silence filled the air before he turned to his student "Setsuna-san" he muttered "Negi-sensei…let's go sensei" she shouted as Negi followed.

Yue was huffing through the wood but was not running; no instead she was riding on the back of the wolf that she and the other girls thought was a dog in the bath. 'Just what exactly is this? Just how did this end up happening and this wolf saving me?' she wondered as she remembered the events that unfolded a few minutes earlier.
-Flashback-
Haruna, Kazumi, Nodoka and Yue were all playing cards in their room the only other thing was that Haruna and Kazumi were petting the wolf they found in the bath before. "You are certainly tame aren't you?" said Kazumi while scratching behind it's ear making it's tail wag more. There was a knock at the door "I'll get it" said Haruna.
She slid open the door to see a white haired boy "Huh are you a servant…a child at the mansion maybe?" she asked the boy responded with some incoherent words. As soon as he said his words smoke covered Haruna "Cough, Cough what's this smoke…" when she stopped coughing the girls could see she'd been turned to stone.
"Paru" Nodoka shouted going to pull out her card "You artifact is dangerous I'll have you sleep" said the boy darkly. Naruto recognised the voice and cursed himself for not sensing him "Yue-chi, go get help" Kazumi whispered then turned to the wolf "Okami-kun take her to safety" it nodded and grabbed Yue flipping her onto it's back before sending a glance to Kazumi then taking off.
"Be safe Yue-chi…Naruto-kun" muttered Kazumi as the smoke enveloped her and she turned to stone too.
-Flashback End-
The wolf came to a stop allowing Yue to get off "Even if I did call for help Asakura-san, how could you find police stupid enough to come here to deal with such an unrealistic situation in Japan…" she said allowed before remembering two figures 'Th…That's right…if it's those people then…' she thought.
She took out her phone '…This is a dream but first I need to deal with the things that I can do' she thought dialling the number as the wolf beside her kept sniffing the air and trying t spot any potential threats.
Back at the hotel with the other girls a phone began ringing it's tune before being answered "This is Nagasa de-gozaru? Baka Leader?" Kaede answered confused. "Oh the godfather love's theme-aru" commented Ku Fei hearing the ring tone.
"Mm…? What's wrong Yue-dono? First calm down de-gozaru, calm down…" Yue then explained her situation. "Fumu…fumu…in the mountains? Hou…fumu… in other words a rescue is necessary de-gozaru? Leader…"
"What happened Kaede?" asked Mana carrying a guitar case, "We have a job to do and an excuse to try these out" she said holding her pactio card and Mana then took out hers looking at it intently "…I guess so" she said as she followed her and Ku Fei out the door.

Yue closed her phone and looked at the wolf "You want to go back and check and see if there's anyone else don't you?" she asked and the wolf nodded. She went over and rubbed it's head "Then be careful going back, I'll find somewhere safe for the time being" she told the animal that licked her hand before running off.
What Yue didn't see however was; that once out of her sight the wolf's body began to shift until it was the body of her teacher Naruto who unsealed some clothes from a seal and rushed back to the mansion and hoped that Negi, Asuna and Konoka were okay.
Negi and Asuna back at the mansion were running through the halls 'Paru-san, Asakura-san Nodoka-san…leader-san…I'm sorry…I'll be sue to cure you afterwards' he thought to himself 'Konoka-san, Asuna-san Naruto-nii please be safe'
Inside the baths Asuna and Konoka waited for the others nervous over what could happen, "Th…That Negi, he still hasn't come and where is Naruto when we need him" said Asuna "Se-chan isn't here either…" added Konoka staying close to Asuna.
Neither noticed a figure rising from a puddle (Fate) behind them and he got close enough to grab Konoka unnoticed until Asuna reacted and swung her fan at the last second. "Amazing" the boy complemented "You have the instincts of a trained soldier…but to protect the princess you are insufficient, I'll have you sleep as well."
He muttered some words and Asuna was enveloped in smoke and the sound of cracking could be heard as Asuna saw her robe begin to turn to stone "Asuna" shouted Konoka in shock. The next sound was that of shattering but it were only the sound of Asuna's clothes shattering leaving her in her birthday suit.
The boy looked mildly surprised at this "Yaaan, what is this?" shouted Asuna, "Asuna" shouted Konoka about to run over to her but was grabbed by an archer demon like before. "We'll then I'll take the princess…" said the boy as Konoka squirmed in the demon's arms calling t her friend.
"Ho…Hold it I won't give you Konoka" shouted Asuna holding her fan in front of her while her other arms she covered herself with, "Go" ordered the boy which the demon obeyed and took off with Konoka "Ah…Wait you" called Asuna.
The boy took out a charm "Vari Vandana" he chanted before the charm disappeared "Water man" the water then behind him became various hands made of water "Ge? This bath is?" muttered Asuna before she was grabbed and restrained by the hands holding her in questionable places "Eh…wai-wh…what are you doing…?" she asked worried.
The hands began to torture her though tickling making her laugh uncontrollably "Gyahaha, wai-…sto-iyahaha" she tried to say through the laughter before shouting "Wh…Why do you people only use such weird attacks?"
The boy was preoccupied with a spell book "Huh…? So it was that kind of spell…although I didn't intend to take off her clothes" he said before looking back at Asuna "Just now…you resisted my petrifaction magic…no it had no effect? It wasn't just your artefact's power…what did you do?" he questioned.
Asuna had tears from the laughter in her eyes "Wh…What? I don't know things like that you pervert" she shot back. "I see…then I'll have you laugh until you die" he said snapping his fingers uncaringly walking away as the hands began their work again.
Asuna's tickling was become painful for her due to the amount of laughing she was doing with the by just floated and continued to read the spell book. "Still not enough?" said the boy snapping his fingers when Asuna seemed to be on her last legs "Gees it's enough" she shouted back as the hands took over once more.

A few minutes later Negi and Setsuna got to the bathroom to find a naked Asuna on the ground twitching, the two quickly rushed to her side "Are you alright Asuna-san? What happened?" Setsuna asked "Uu…uuu Setsuna-san…I…I…Al…ready…" Asuna relied in between gasps.
"Ha…D…Don't tell me Asuna-san" Setsuna muttered "What happened, Asuna-san? What did they do to you?" asked Negi blushing at the sight of her body. "Pe…Perverted…things?" Setsuna muttered blushing as Asuna hit her "Didn't happen…although it did" she said the last part to herself.
"So…Sorry Setsuna-san" Asuna apologised "Konoka was kidnapped…be careful that gut is still around…" she told them as the boy appeared behind them. Setsuna sensed him and turned to parry a punch from his left hand but it turned out to be a fake as he struck hard with his right sending her into the wall to ricochet off the wall knocking the wind out of her from the force.
"Setsuna-san" Negi called before glaring at the boy "Y…You can't be…whe…where did you take Konoka-san?" he questioned 'The one leader told me about. A boy with white hair…" he thought. "Turning everyone to statues, hitting Setsuna-san, taking Konoka-san, even doing perverted things to Asuna-san" said Negi while Asuna tried to refute the claim.
"As their teacher…as their friend….I…I…Won't forgive you" he shouted at Fate. "…So then what will you do? Negi Springfield, defeat me…the white haired one has a better chance then you do for you it's impossible" he said disappearing through the water.
"A 'gate' using water teleportation, Aniki he's a pretty high class mage…" said Chamo "And he know how to fight in close combat too at a high level as well" said another voice, all looked to the door to see Naruto wearing his old ninja wear that now looked off with his hair colour.
"Naruto-nii" shouted Negi relieved as Naruto put a towel around Asuna "The situation is bad Negi but help is on the way, now before we go is everyone okay?" he asked getting a nod from Negi and Asuna but a hesitant one from Setsuna. He sighed and walked over to her "Show me where it hurts" he told her.
She nervously lifted her shirt "Tueri omne pretiosum Tui Gratia Jovis Gratia Sit Cura this will be quick since we need to go after Konoka-chan fast you three. And Negi you need to be careful of the white haired boy called Fate…he is very dangerous" he told them as Chamo got a pensive look.
The ermine then shouted "This will work, I just had a great idea" Setsuna and Asuna looked interested and Naruto shook his head figuring where this would go "What is it Chamo-san?" asked Setsuna. "Setsuna-nee-san, about Negi-Aniki…what do you think?" he asked the girl who went red "Eh? How is that related?" she responded startled.
"So in other words, Setsuna-nee-san should go 'chuu' with Aniki" this making Negi blush now as he and Setsuna imagined their lips meeting. He slammed down by Asuna "During such an emergency, what are you saying" she shouted "Y…You're wrong ane-san I mean a pactio, pactio" he defended his idea.
"Setsuna-nee-san can use Ki right?" he said getting a nod from the girl "So if Aniki adds his magical power on top of that, it should be a super power up plus Naruto-sama's partner is still injured right?" he asked getting a nod from Naruto who was thankful that Zazie's room had a perception barrio around it. The perception barrier worked so that the room could be seen y those who knew where it was and if not would only catch a glimpse of it.
Asuna then said with a red face "B…But to suddenly kiss…" Negi was similar "Th…That's right Chamo-kun" while Setsuna was poking her fingers together "I…I have ojou-sama." Chamo seemed determined "It's fine, isn't it? just d it already with a 'chuuu~' he made kissing motions with his lips earning him a slap from Naruto. "Must you try this…" he asked rhetorically "Ignoring that I think we should move" the was a unified call of "Yes let's go"

Meanwhile on a train to the mountains Ku Fei, Chao, Kaede and Mana were chatting with each other. "Sneaking out of the unn at night is the epitome of a middle school trip" Ku Fei sang "I just wonder how Naruto-kun will take all of us being there, still can't say I'm not excited to see what this can do" she said staring at her card.
"Aww why is it you three have one and I don't, aru" Ku Fei whined "That's not the issue right now de-gozaru" Kaede told her. 'The enemies are pros…hope Negi-bozu and Naruto-kun are okay de-gozaru' she thought rubbing her them against her card.'

"Ooh y…you did it newbie?" said Chigusa seeing Konoka tied up and held by a large monkey before something came to mind "How did you get past the temple's barrier? It would have been better to leave it to you from the beginning" she fumed.
She calmed herself down and rubbed her chin laughing "Fufu but now we have Konoka-ojou-sama in our hands. Now all we have to do is take ojou-sama to that place and it will be our victory. Konoka was squirming in the giant monkey that held her arms looking scared "Don't worry Konoka-ojou-sama we won't do anything cruel to you" she said tapping her nose "Now then let's go to the alter."
"Wait" called a voice from behind Chigusa. She turned to see Asuna, Naruto, Negi and Setsuna all looking ready to fight "That's as far as you go, hand over ojou-sama." Chigusa didn't seemed bothered with the intrusion "You guys again" Konoka while was relieved to see Setsuna.
"Amagasaki Chigusa, tomorrow morning reinforcements will arrive to capture you" shouted Setsuna "Stop this meaningless resistance and surrender." Chigusa's response was to grin "Fufu…no matter how many reinforcements there are…if we get to that place then…"
She dropped down to float on the water with her summoned creature "But more importantly…I'll show you a part of ojou-sama's power. You will regret not having stayed at the temple trembling." She turned to Konoka and smacked a charm on her "Ojou-sama…excuse me" the charm activated and Konoka jerked in apparent pain much to the shock of the four.
"Om, Kiri Kiri Basara Umhatta" she cast as Konoka continued to jerk in pain and various demons began appearing out of the water. "Wait, wait there are this many?" panicked Asuna seeing the plethora od surrounding demons "They are using Konoka's power to amplify the summoning charm she had but forcing the magic out causes Konoka-chan pain" explained Naruto clenching his fists in anger.
"You guys play with these Oni" smirked Chigusa "A special service as payback for the other day…well you mostly brats so I'll tell to a least not kill you so don't worry" she said before taking off with Fate and the monkey.
The demons looked at the group "That's this, What's this and here we thought we were finally called…" a bird demon said ""But our enemies are just some girls" said another. "Sorry girls but since we've been called we can't go easy on you" one demon apologised "Don't curse us for it."
"Se…Setsuna-san th..this is as expected i…I'm just a normal middle school girl after all" said Asuna frightened befre a hand made it to her shoulder "Asuna-chan, it will be fine trust me Negi can you make a barrier?" said Naruto as Negi was in the process of doing so.
"Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister, Vertatur, Tempestas, Veris. Nobis Protectionem Aerialem, Flans Paries, Ventis Vertintis" said Negi as a wall of twisting wind covered the group. Inside the barrier "This is a wind barrier I can only keep it up for two to three minutes though" said Negi.
"Alright time's short so let's make a plan, what should we do this is a pretty bad situation even with Naruto-nii" Negi continued "There's no choice we have to split up" admitted Setsuna. "I will stay here alone to distract the remaining Oni. In the meantime the rest of you please chase after ojou-sama."
'Slap' was the sound of Naruto hitting the girl "Setsuna-chan do you have any idea how foolish that is, from what I've observed you have trained to fight monsters but even you can't stay here on your own so I think it's best that…" he was interrupted by Asuna shouting "I'll stay here to help you."
Naruto stared at the girl "Naruto, you are a lot stronger than me so Negi is going to need you more than me" he said "Are you sure?" he asked and she nodded. "Actually I think ane-san would be better staying "noted Chamo "Since ane-san's fan is ale to send back summoned monsters if it hits them it would be better for fighting Oni."
"I see but…" Setsuna was interrupted by Chamo before she could interject "Aniki if you supply ane-san with magic power and you minimize your defence how long do you think you can stretch it?" he asked. "Doing it that way will be hard but five minutes…no ten minutes…no I'll try my best for fifteen minutes but…" he admitted.
"That isn't a lot of time to get by Fate, rescue Konoka-chan and get back even if I and Negi can fly we don't know what else awaits us up ahead. We also have no idea how you two will cope until any help arrives" explained Naruto to the others "but it's our only option Naruto so we have to take it to save ojou-sama" replied Setsuna.
"WAIT…if this is the situation" shouted Chamo "Then Setsuna-nee-san should do the other thing with Negi and kiss him for a pactio." Naruto sighed "he actually right and it's an emergency situation so" he snapped his fingers drawing a barrier in the ground for the two cutting Chamo off from earning any more money "Make it fast you two the barrier won't hold much longer."
"Excuse me…Negi-sensei" said Setsuna blushing in the circle with Negi "No…um…me too…" he replied. Naruto was staring at their expressions 'seems there is room in her heart for more than one' while Asuna was sending Naruto a brief glance 'NO, stop thinking that it's not him we like' she thought.
"I'm going" said Setsuna taking charge and grabbing Negi's shoulders "Ye…Yes" he answered back a little stiff as she bent down and matched lips with him and forming the pactio. The kiss ended and Setsuna smiled at him "Negi-sensei please leave with Naruto. I'll protect Asuna-san."
Naruto tossed her the card to Negi as Setsuna turned to him "Naruto take care of Negi-sensei and Konoka-ojou-sama" he nodded as Setsuna turned back to Negi and just looked into his innocent eyes. "You there why are you just staring at each other" shouted Asuna a little annoyed at the scene.
"Asuna-chan, Setsuna-chan come here" he beckoned the two and when the got close her hugged them with his arms "Be careful you two and keep each other safe. We'll be back as soon as we can so please take care" he said as the two girls blushed as he turned to Negi and began chanting.
Outside the barrier the demons noticed the fading winds "The wind is stopping, it coming " called one demon. "Finally they made us wait " said another holding a club and noticed a opening in the winds where the two males were holding out their hands 'Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens' they shouted blasting through the demons with a powerful lightning spell before taking to the skies.
"Boss those two are getting away" shouted one demon "and they took out thirty troops…Geez western mages aren't just simple after all" added the so called boss of the demons before his attention was drawn by another voice.
"If you fight calmly you'll be alright. The enemy isn't as fearsome as they look" said Setsuna to Asuna reassuringly "I with my sword and Asuna-san's fan have the power to fight them on more than even footing. Please think of this as being on the level of being surrounded by 100 hoodlums in town."
"That's good and bad for my peace of mind…" Asuna laughed nervously as the boss demon chuckled "Well, well these are some brave girls." Asuna steeled her nerves "It can't be helped…then let's go demon slaying" she shouted as she and Setsuna charged forward to the army.
