"Why is there a boy here?" asked Natsumi staring at the dark haired boy before her "Maybe the doggy from before changed into this kid?" Chizuru suggested knowing that was probably the answer seeing the charm in the boy's hand. "No way! But what should we do Chizu-nee?" asked Natsumi as Chizuru put her hand to his head "just a second…my, this is terrible! A really bad fever? I really think we should call a doctor Natsumi, carry him over to the bed" Natsumi blushed "But it's a naked boy…"

"What are you shy about? He's just a child so it'll be fine okay? I think he's pretty light" she said walking over to the phone to fetch her mage ring so she could try to heal him, her pactio would be too obvious. "It's not—but this kids looks like he's a first-year middle school…" she replied 'Now that I have a closer look, this might be really cool…what are these things decorating his ears, I wonder?' She thought leaning over him.

"Hello, is this the doctor's office?" Chizuru faked her telephone call as she slipped on the ring as Natsumi picked up the boy "Up you go…a tail?" she muttered seeing the addition by the boy's tail bone. However she was not expected the boy to lunge and throw a spoon at the phone destroying the item alarming Chizuru.

The boy now had his clawed hand by Natsumi's throat "Stop…do not call anyone!" said the boy in a strained voice. Of course Natsumi panicked "Um who are you? Why are you…" the boy shouted at her to "Shut up!" before turning back to Chizuru. "Hey, nee-chan over there, bring me something to wear and some food" he ordered as Chizuru smiled and looked calm "What is your name? Where did you come from? Won't you please tell me? We might be able to help some how."

"W-What? Name…? My name?...huh? Who am I again?" the boy held his head in pain "No! I…have to meet him…" when he looked up Chizuru was very close to him "Ho is him?" she asked gently. "Don't come near me!" the boy shouted swiping with his clawed hand cutting the girl by her shoulder and drawing blood. "Chi-Chizu-nee?" Natsumi shouted breaking the boy out of his stupor before Chizuru pulled the boy into her chest hugging him "You shouldn't do that! If you move around too much you'll pass out again. Your fever is close to 40 degrees" she said as the boy felt woozy "See? We have to tend to those wounds on your arms too" the boy then slumped over.

"W-W-What's wrong" asked Natsumi as her friend smiled "It's alright. It seems he just lost consciousness again." Natsumi pumped her fist amazed at her roommate's ability "Hmm, you're so good at this Chizu-nee. Probably because you aim is to work in a day-care huh?"

Chizuru giggled "Yes I have to deal with troublesome brats' everyday when I volunteer. But I have another aim these days too… 'And that's to stand by your side Naruto-kun and let you have the family you always wanted all that time ago.' "But who is this kid really?" wondered Natsumi "I'm certain he isn't just a runaway boy 'and I remember Naruto-kun telling us about a boy Negi's age in Kyoto who fought him' she thought to herself.

"So you ready, Negi, Ayaka-chan?" asked Naruto as the two stood in a pactio circle. After learning more Ayaka had asked if she join Negi in aiding him as a partner which he had agreed to seeing as she wouldn't take no for an answer. "Are you sure you want this Iincho-san?" asked Negi one last time as she cupped his face smiling "Yes Negi-sensei and please call me Ayaka" she said pushing her lips on his as Naruto muttered as the contract was made and the card appeared.

The card had Ayaka dressed in a blue skirt and black boots but the most obvious thing was that her top half was covered in armour that covered her torso, arms and hips but left space at the elbows for movement. There was also a rapier in her hand that had a wavy design for the hand guard and the name on the card was Miles Custodem.

She smiled brightly as she stared at her card before muttering "Adeat!" as she did the light from the card equipped the armour and sword that were displayed she tested the sword weight giving a few test thrusts with the fencing style she had learn in her life. "Oh thank you Negi-sensei" she yelled hugging the boy to her armoured chest "you're welcome Ayaka-san" he replied adjusting his glasses and making the girl spin him in glee for being called by her name.

Meanwhile Yue and Nodoka were having a conversation with Evangeline as the other ate and drank at the table "You want me to teach magic to you? Why should I have to go through all the trouble? You've got a magic teacher over there, ask him" she said drinking her 'juice.' It was then Negi came back in with Ayaka her still looking at her card and the two girls went to ask the teacher as Naruto went to practice for a bit.

Naruto pulled out one of his other pactios that he hadn't really used much this one had him dressed in silver-white gloves on his hands, each with a grey band on the wrist, while the rest of the glove, which has three black buttons lining one side, bells outwards. There was a black pauldron on both of his shoulders, each attached to his coat by two straps. He also had black pants and black, silver-lined, knee-high boots.

He also had a black leather coat is red on the inside and lined with yellow, and also has a large grey section that covers the lower half and shoulders of the coat. This coat is high-collared and completely unzipped, showing the second, shorter jacket which was white and high-collared much like the outer coat. Naruto in the picture had golden eyes and was holding dual sided falchion-esque swords, with a red, purple and blue blade shaped like a demonic wing. Its handle bore a blue eye, and the handle itself consists of dark braids. The cards name was Tenebris Investigator.

While a powerful card Naruto felt slightly disturbed when he used it like something wanted out and he wasn't too sure it would be friendly but sighed and held up the card "Adeat!" his outfit changed according to what he had on the card and he gripped his weapon he'd names Cornu Nigro. He began spinning the blade in his hands going through the movements he had developed for this weapon before increasing the movement making his attack style almost look like a dance as he gracefully swiped at the air.

'What is you're secret…? My other cards so far had more to them than I first thought so what makes you special like them' he wondered as the blades became a lit with a blue flame which was so hot I felt cold hence why he had named it 'Ice Fire.'

After a while of going through his kata he felt presences approaching so cancelled out his flames and slowed his movements as he let the figures watch him. He gradually came to a stop and faced the two who were Chachamaru and Kazumi both stood in amazement of him "Wow…" muttered Kazumi as he smiled and walked over.

"I take it you enjoyed watching me train?" he asked them getting a nod from both before Chachamaru noticed his eyes "Naruto…your eyes?" he remembered that his eye colour did indeed change when using this pactio. "Oh yeah, Abeat! So what's up you two?" he asked as his eyes returned to their usual ocean blue "Master has given Negi-sensei permission to teach the others beginners magic and we wanted to see if you wished to observe them" Chachamaru told him in her neutral tone but couldn't help but stare at Naruto eyes…so deep they were to her.

"Sure I don't mind just wanted to practice with that a little just take me to where they were practicing" he said to them as Kazumi grabbed his arm and led the way "You looked really cool back there Naruto-kun where did you learn to move like that?" the reporter asked. "to be honest the card puts a few movements in my mind while the rest I create and perfect so I can wield it better" he told her as he walked with her but looked over his shoulder "You coming Cha-chan?" the robot nodded and followed quickly standing close to his free arm wondering if she should take it.

He came back and watched as the girls tried the beginners charm in magic making little success thus far but he knew it took a while. The only reason why Chizuru got it so fast was that Naruto was supplying her magic and increasing her reserves by adding from his own. Ku Fei did manage to get a flame, the problem was that it was from a lighter and eventually the girls tuckered themselves out and went to bed but Naruto had woken up by Negi to help him with his kenpo and magic helping him to train his reflexes which he was happy to do.

"Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister, Cemedetos Astrabusator Detemnator, Beyuos Tyucos" Negi cried launching the spell at Naruto which he countered with his own cancelling it out. "You're getting better Negi, Eva-chan says that takes two or three months to do moves like that" Naruto said ruffling his hair "Maybe but I outside the villa, I don't have enough power and I can't do any unchanted Sagitta Magica" Chamo decided to comment "But Aniki the way your going you'll get stronger in no time."

"Just what I expect from two magic teachers" said Asuna clapping at the two "You two certainly aren't regular geniuses are you?" Negi was surprised at being caught out "Asuna-san!" he was then grabbed in a choke hold by the girl "I though I told you that nothing will come of it if you push yourself so hard you wear out your body" she scolded as Naruto chuckled at their antics as Negi squirmed to get free.

"Ugug I'm sorry, since I spent today playing around with everyone…" Naruto interrupted this time "She's right though Negi, it'd be best to stop here since you do nest to rest now and again since it's another aspect of training." Asuna nodded ad let go as she and the other two stared at the night sky. "You know it's a bit weird, we did all that partying and eating an sleeping, and outside only twenty minutes or so have gone by…" the two boys nodded "Haha you're right Asuna-chan, the power of magic can do amazing things."

The three stood quite as Negi got a look on his face "Uh, Asuna-san, Naruto-nii" he caught their attention "Would you both listen to something I have to say?" he asked quietly. "What's this all of a sudden?" enquired Asuna as Negi turned his face to hers and Naruto's "It's something I think I should tell you, since Naruto-nii is a mage and you're my partner and all."

"I-I don't really mind…what is it?" asked Asuna "Um, what's on your mind?" added Naruto curious to where this was going "The reason I'm trying so hard…it happened six year ago…when I met my father."

At the same time the boy now clothed was lying on the couch with Natsumi covering him in a blanket "What should we do with this kid?" wondered Natsumi "And what will we tell Ayaka when she gets home?" asked Chizuru as Natsumi heard the boy murmuring in his sleep. "…Hm? He said something like Negi in his sleep" she told Chizuru who had already used a light healing spell when Natsumi was getting clothes for the boy.

"Oh come to think of it I hear that putting green onions in your bottom helps when you have a cold. And we have some too. Let's try it out" she joked rolling her sleeve up holding said onion. "Wah no you can't Chizu-nee we don't even know this kid we can't just suddenly…"

"Tell…him…danger…is coming…" said the boy in his sleep. Meanwhile across town two figures were rising from the ground "Negi Springfield…Kagurazaka Asuna…Uzumaki Naruto" it said in the two in the rain.

"It's about six years ago when I met with my father" he told them surprising them as none had really discuss their pasts, and so far Naruto had only shared with his partners. "Why'd you bring this up now?" asked Asuna taken aback "Well I think I should probably tell everyone but…" she was forced to grab his head as he tried to get away. "If you don't want me to that's fine, I'm sorry for bringing it up so suddenly" Negi said arms swinging about ""Negi if you feel ready to tell us we'll listen" said Naruto crouching down.

Nodoka presently looking for the bathroom came upon the scene as Asuna was on her knees in front of Negi while Naruto sat beside them with his ears and tails exposed "are you sure you can still join Naruto-nii?" asked Negi.

Naruto shook his head "It'll be fine trust me I know the spell. Besides if you're showing me your past it's only fair I show you mine" he told them as two tail tips touched the top of their heads "What could they be doing?" wondered Nodoka with a small blush "Hmm that would be mind-synch magic" said Eva behind her making the poor girl jump.

"Uhya! Eva-Eva-Evangeline-san" she yelped which Eva disregarded "You have it don't you? That 'outer conscious seeking artefact'. Let me see it for a sec so we can see what's going on in those three's heads" she instructed Nodoka. "Wha~~? N-N-No I can't do something like that…" she refused not wanting to invade the privacy.

"It appears they're talking about the boya's past as well as Naruto's. Don't you want to know about it?" Eva convinced the girl "I do believe that knowing the past of a boy you like would be something of an advantage, don't you? The boya already said he was going to tell the others so it'll be fine. And as his master I have rights to listen in."

By now Nodoka was beet red from actually considering it to get close to Negi before succumbing to temptation and pulling out the book much to Eva's smug smile "I guess only for a little while…" Negi was in the process of explaining what they had to do.

"Then we both have to hold hands and put out foreheads together" Asuna went a bit pink in the cheeks "Hey are you sure this is the way for e to experience your memory?" Naruto grabbed her hand and Negi's before the magic circle increased in size around them "Asuna-chan this will be quicker than talking so just do it."

"Fine" she said as she leaned in for Negi to start the magic in a flash Asuna and Naruto were in the middle of an English city, both naked though a glow hit their bodies plus Naruto still had is extra features. "Huh? Where are we?" asked Asuna "A small ravine village where I loved 6 years ago' answered the voice of Negi as Asuna took not of her and Naruto's state.

"Hmm, hey, why the hell are we naked?" she shouted blushed and covering her self with her arms before Naruto used a couple tails to help her keep an illusion of decency "Ah sorry but that's how it works…a technical thing" Negi answered. "Cut out the jokes it's snowing in the village!" Naruto put a hand on her shoulder "Don't worry Asuna-chan, we only see not feel. Like I said I've used this spell myself."

"What does' never see him again mean?" Both teens turned to find a young Negi speaking with a younger Nekane, Naruto and Asuna watched curiously. "I suppose, yes", Nekane replied with a sad smile," He went to a far away land... that's what being "Dead" is in a way".

"Could that Negi when he was little…?" Asuna asked curiously, watching the scene intently "The other must be his sister he talks about some time" added Naruto. "So then maybe if I get in trouble father will come back?" asked the little Negi "Yeah yeah…maybe" Nekane answered smiling.

"You're really dumb aren't you?" A young female voice asked, the watchers turning to see a cute young red haired girl smirking at Negi," No one can meet someone who's dead! You're the Thousand Master's kid and you don't even know that?"

"Good afternoon Anya-chan", Nekane greeted the girl with a smile. "That's not true!" Negi protested with a frown to her, "My father will come for me!" Negi added. "Your an idiot!" Anya shot back," You don't even know what "To die" means do you!".

"Who's that kid?" asked Asuna blushing at the cute scene "My childhood friend Anya. She's a year older than me" Negi told them. Naruto chuckled looking at Anya's behaviour figuring the girl probably had a crush on Negi.

"Here, this is for you Negi", Anya said, handing the younger Negi a small wand. "What's this?" little Negi asked curiously. "A training wand", She replied with a sigh," Your going to school next year right?", She asked, turning to leave, "If you wanna grow up to be like your dad, you should train more".

Negi stared at the wand as the image blurred and shifted to another where it showed them how Negi was forced to live on his own while Nekane went to school. It sparked an emotion in Naruto which was noticed by Asuna as the tails held her a bit tighter. It also showed Negi practicing magic on his own and trying to be just like his dad and Negi beginning to get himself into dangerous situations in hope of meeting his dad, even killing himself by drowning.

By now the other girls had woken up and began watching the scene via Nodoka's book. "To jump into a lake in winter, what is this idiot thinking?" asked Asuna making Naruto smile sadly "You'd be surprised what people do when you want to see your parents no matter the cost…I know I did."

"When you get in trouble he appears~" little Negi sang as he was sitting by a lake fishing "From somewhere or other, he appears~…oh I forgot." He quickly got to his feet as he remembered something and started running back in the direction of the village "Today is the day Nekane-onee-chan is coming. I have to get back to the village."

Asuna and Naruto were floating beside the smiling Negi "Hehe he is pretty cute, probably because he's so small" commented Asuna "Yeah, he he…" said Naruto but could say more when he saw what came next. The village was covered in flames "Fire, hey what's going on? Why is the village burning?" she asked as they watched the young Negi run off looking for his sister "Ah Negi it's too dangerous!" cried Asuna forgetting this was a memory.

Naruto just stared looking at the town as it burned and watched as Negi found the people of the village had been turned to stone. "Just like back then" muttered Naruto as he and Asuna saw Negi crouch down in tears "I…because I thought if I got in to trouble..? I thought my father would come for me… because I thought that!"

"What are you talking about idiot? That couldn't possible be the reason baka-Negi" she felt Naruto's hand on her shoulder "Asuna-chan…he only four…most kids never have to see things like this" they then noticed a figure emerging from the ground behind Negi. It was a large demon and a bunch of smaller demons behind it "What is this?" questioned Asuna "What are these things?"

"Demons and strong ones too" Naruto answered remembering the information about demons here he had learned from Zazie as she had a vast knowledge. "Negi what's going on? The little Negi is going to be killed, hey!" shouted Asuna as the large demon reared its fist back at little Negi going to hit him.

"Negi get out of there, Negi!" cried Asuna as the little Negi cried still "It's because I thought that was true…father…father…father" before the blow was struck someone appeared and held the demon's fist. The figure looked to be an older version of Negi which meant that it was his father 'So that's Nagi then…'

The two watched as Nagi took out the demon with a powerful spell cutting it in half "amazing" uttered Asuna. The smaller demons tried to attack them when Nagi's back was turned only for him to blow them all back as if it was child's-play before unleashing a huge spell obliterating a lot of the demons and left Negi holding one of them by the throat.

"I see…you're…that…" said the demon "Huh at this level of power…it's hard to tell which of us, is the real monster…" Nagi snapped its neck as little Negi had ran off with the two observers chasing. "Negi it's dangerous out here! There are still a whole lot of monsters left" called Asuna as a demon appeared in front of Negi and aimed a magical blast at him.

He was saved by Nekane and the old man Stan from Negi's memory blocking the blast which resulted in them becoming petrified, Nekane's legs snapping off as a result "Onee-chan" Negi cried. The large demon then charged with smaller demons backing him up. Old man Stan took out a small bottle "Hexagramma et Pentagramma, Malos Spiritus Sigillent! Lagena Signatoria" the tiny bottle began sucking up all of the demons, sealing the up.

"Whew…you alright boy?" Stan asked Negi but was quickly becoming fully petrified "Oji-chan" shouted Negi in worry. "Hm…perhaps this was the work of someone with a grudge against a member f the village. There were many peculiar for in this village who settled here because of Nagi." Stand wondered to himself.

"But the lesser demons that were summoned here were too strong and too many. Our enemy is not any ordinary spell caster" when he said this Naruto could only think some had outright targeted the village but for what reason he was unsure. "The whole village gathered together…originally we would not lose to even a battalion of soldiers…or that's how it should have been…ghu."

"Oji-chan!" Stan turned to Negi while he still had time left "Escape from here boy…and bring your sister along with you. There's no hope for me. This petrifaction spell is too strong and there's no way to heal it." Negi was hugging the old ma in tears now "Please get away from here…no matter what happened you alone must be protected. That was…my promise to that idiot who went and died."

The petrifactions nearly complete "Find someone, one of the remaining healers…if you don't stop the petrifaction soon your sister's life will be in danger. Come one boy, leave this old man…and hurry…" with that he was completely turned to stone.

Negi turned back to his sister (Cousin) and shook her trying to wake her up as the cloaked figure who saved him walked up to him and carried them out of the village. "I'm sorry…my coming was too late" Nagi apologised as Negi stood up in front of Nekane with his wand protectively, "You…I see you are Negi? You intend to protect your sister?" said Nagi walking up to the shaking Negi before putting his hand on his head.

"You've all grown up huh…oh I just remembered. I'll give you" he took the staff that Negi held in the present time "This staff…think of it as a memento" Nagi told him as little Negi took the staff. Negi couldn't manage to hold the staff up "hehe too heavy?" Negi joked before looking off into the distance "There's no time left. Nekane will be alright. I stopped the petrifaction spell, she only needs time but I'm sorry" he said floating into the sky as Negi called for him.

"I'm sorry I can't do anything more for you. It's not like I have any right to say this but grown up well and happy" he told him flying off as Negi tried to follow tripping and calling for him into the night. Asuna and Naruto were in tears seeing this "Negi…what happened after…this?" asked Naruto as Asuna wiped her tears.

"Oh my sister and I were rescued 3 days later and moved to a town of mages in the mountain of Wales. For the next five years I spent everyday studying in a school of magic. I don't even know everyone said that the villagers were fine and wouldn't explain because I was a kid. I was afraid because of what happened that snowy night…for some reason I devoted myself to my studies with tremendous energy. All I wanted was to meet my father one more time…I wanted to meet the great mage was my father…who saved me.

But even now sometimes I think about it. that incident…when I thought that if I get in trouble my father will come save me and I wonder if it wasn't divine punishment" Negi told the two but Asuna grew mad and broke off the connection.

"What are you talking about? There's no way that's true! What's wrong with you you're about as dumb as those weird monsters" she chastised Negi. "Negi Asuna-chan is right you can't blame yourself for what happened, it was never your fault what happened and don't worry I'm sure you'll meet you dad again. But…now come my story and I'm going t share it…with all of you."

Naruto turned to the other girls who all expect Chachamaru and Eva were in tears "Please…don't pity me once you seen my life I can't stand it" he told them reactivating the magic and putting a tail on all there heads except Asuna who he leaned put his forehead too.

There was another flash and the group found themselves like Asuna before completely in the nip but accepted it as they had seen it in the diary but many were blushing from being naked next to Negi. The first thing they saw was a village with four faces like Mount Rushmore.

"This is my village or was at least called Konoha, one of five ninja villages of the elemental countries stretching back a long time ago. Please don't ask questions since these memories aren't easy to see believe me."

With that said the girls watched Naruto's life from the start, none of them liked what they saw and Evangeline realized just how similar the two were as she watched a young Naruto beaten up at age four by a group of men and women while no one bothered to help him. Naruto didn't show them the horrific events that took place in his childhood since he knew none of them would be able to handle seeing it.

They watched as Naruto began studying at a young age and training on his own till he was half dead but still getting back up to train more. The girls and Negi all looked like they just wanted the small Naruto who they were surprised by his blonde spiky hair when they asked he tld them "Just keep watching…"

Eventually they got to his genin years were things looked a bit better for him, despite his team mates and sensei. The events of their first C-rank turned A-rank and meeting of Haku let the girls know where Naruto had learned his philosophy in life "When a person…has something important they want to protect…that's when they become truly strong" those words forever burning in their hearts as the story continued to the chunin exams and Naruto had to go up against Gaara and teach him the true meaning of bonds, the girls smiled as hey saw Naruto's gift to bring out the best in people.

The events passed through their eyes of the betrayal of Sasuke and went to say the power hungry boys ass from the snake like Orochimaru that made the girls except Eva shiver. When they saw Naruto leaving with the man who could have been the true spirit of Haruna they saw that outside the place that was supposed to be home Naruto felt…free.

Each were shocked as they had seen put on the mask of foolishness for the village and were amazed at his mental strength for lasting in the place that called for his blood. They noticed how he had to put the mask back on slightly when he returned and got an idea of just how strong he was when he fought against Pein and that people began to see him differently.

Negi felt more understanding for his brother figure as Naruto finally got to meet his father and his mother but cried all the same seeing as Naruto had to wait all his life for only a brief moment with each heck even the Sage gave him more care than what he had experienced his entire life in the village alone. When he was younger usually he could visit one of the others in the village or had Nekane but Naruto essentially was well an truly alone and made him respect him more as a result.

Finally came the war where everything was revealed to Naruto and he had become a one man army against those that he knew and those who had been forced into servitude. They then watched as Naruto gave his life to end it all and become the thing which he ha been called all his life so that the others could rest easy and be at peace which was his sensei's dream in life and where his hair had changed.

When he stopped the connection the girls including Chachamaru and Eva looked at him in tears (although Eva would deny at a later date) and went to hug him which made him cry as well seeing as none of them feared him despite what he had to do in the end. Just like with his partners each of the girls accepted him for being him.

"How did you do it Naruto-kun?" asked Kazumi hugging hi close "How could you be so strong yet so kind in that world?" he merely returned the hug "There is no point getting angry at them since revenge only leads to pain Kazumi-chan. Now wipe those tears from your pretty face and let's head home" he said wiping her face and turning to Chachamaru who still had laser fluid on her cheeks which he wiped for her.

"I'm fine Cha-chan, trust me so there's no need to be sad, this is my life with all of you and I intend to live it" he smiled making her nod an smile a little too. The girls wiped their faces and began to see Naruto in a new light an saw just who he was…a child of light, willing to protect what's precious and help those who would be foes become allies. Eva, Kazumi and Chachamaru however watching his life wanted to get closer to Naruto now and knew he deserved it for it was his partners already thought.

Back in the room Kotaro was happily munching on the food made by Chizuru with little table manners as he stuffed his face "Ngmm this is great! Delicious!" said the Kotaro "He sure eats a lot" muttered Natsumi with a sweat drop. "My, that's great! Eat all you want okay?" said Chizuru happy to help the child "Yeah! Seconds please!" he then shouted.

"But really thanks a lot" said Kotaro enjoying his meal, "He's got some amazing healing power. His fever's already gone down" noticed Natsumi looking at her thermometer. 'Well the magic didn't hurt' "So Kotaro-kun, have you remembered anything besides your name?" asked Chizuru "Nope…not a bit…it's like there's a mist inside my head…" he answered scratching his head.

"Right…I guess we have no choice. Well then…" she put on a scary look with onion in hand "Time to try the old onion in the bottom. The shook might bring his memory back." The other two in the room were horrified by the suggestion as Chizuru was now holding two onions "I was almost there when he went and woke up last time…" Kotaro was crying anime tears of having an onion stick where the sun don't shine "No way~~ stop~!"

Within a second Chizuru had thrown away the onions and was dragging Kotaro "Just kidding, let's go wash your body okay?" Kotaro helpless tried to get out her grip "W-W-Wait a sec. I can wash myself" he cried. "Nope, you're a total mess right now" she said smiling and pulling him into the bathroom, stripping him down.

"Oh my. This tail decoration is attached right on your skin. Hey Natsumi come look" called Chizuru to her friend 'kind of like a small Naruto-kun' she mused as Kotaro shouted "Wah don't take that off me!" Natsumi was praying "Oh please don't let Kotaro-kun become Chizu-nee's toy…" inside the bathroom Kotaro took note of the bandage covering Chizuru's wound which she had already seen to but had to keep up appearances.

"That wound…I'm sorry…earlier my head was all hazy…" he apologised but Chizuru just smiled "Oh it's fine the cut wasn't too deep and I'm trained in a bit of first aid" Kotaro shook his head "But to hurt a woman…I…if there was any scar…"

"Don't worry about it" she reassured him "Besides until you remember something you can stay here as long as you like Kotaro-kun. I can see you have your reasons so I won't call anyone" she ruffled her hair. 'And knowing Naruto-kun you'll probably end up staying here since he'll want someone looking after you.'

"Th-Thank you" Kotaro said with a blush as Natsumi opened the door slightly "Kotaro-kun don't take this the wrong way. But I advise you not to fall for Chizu-nee…she's scary you see" this suggestion was taken the wrong way as Kotaro shouted "N-No one's falling for anyone!" Chizuru smiled all too sweetly "Natsumi-san did you say something just now?" the girl quickly replied "No, nothing!"

"It's really pouring down" observed Konoka as she and the other stood in front of the cottage after leaving the villa. "Hey Eva-san could I maybe borrow your resort sometimes when I want to study?" asked Asuna "I don't have a problem with it…I just don't recommend girls to use it because it'd add to their age."

"But it's only one or two days so it's not too much girls, you go on ahead I need to speak with Eva-chan" said Naruto as the girls nodded and ran off into the rain with only one umbrella between them. ""You didn't show them everything did you" stated Eva as Naruto smiled at the retreating forms of the girls.

"No…and I never will. Eva-chan you and I both shared tortured pasts I should them a couple beating but I told about 'one' of the more horrible acts. The girls are too pure and I only showed them what's necessary, any way I have something for you." He pulled out a small rectangular box from a seal and handed it to her "I decided to make it up to you for forgetting to take you with us to the southern island."

She opened the box to find a ruby necklace in the shape of a heart that had bat wings by the side of it; the chain was silver as were the wings on the jewel. "Naruto…I can't accept this" he took the necklace and put it round her neck "Yes you can, not only is it beautiful like you it increases the range you can stand from me outside the barrier. It can also let me know you're in trouble if you call to me with it."

Eva was left speechless by his act but then felt something enter through the barrier "You feel that too?" asked Naruto "it's probably noting but is my new seal the reason why you can sense when something enters it?" Naruto lifted up his sleeve to show the seal in question as he channelled magic through it. "It connects me to my tree and to you, not that I mind. See you later Cha-chan Eva-chan see you later" he said running off into the rain.

Eva held the jewel in her hand "Master do you…" her servant tried to ask "Chachamaru some tea please" the robot nodded but took one last look at Naruto retreating form.

By now the group with Negi had arrived at the dorm building and wiping themselves off "Hey if you or Naruto-kun need anything, just give us a call Negi-kun" smiled Kazumi "Ah ok~" he replied as all but Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna and Ayaka remained. "How troublesome" he muttered "Why Negi-sensei?" asked Ayaka "It's really possible that these kind of dangers exist Ayaka-san. That's why I planned to tell you guys to think about getting involved with me by showing that event six years ago but…"

"Negi-sensei if watching Naruto-nii's memory taught us anything is that you need your friends behind you when you do something. If anything we want to help you and him more" she said smiling "I agree with Iincho-san" added Asuna.

"I guess but I still have to be stronger on my own too. I will train harder" said Negi still not wanting to put any of his students in danger before running off "Hey wait if you keep this up you won't be able to take it!" Asuna shouted after him "It's okay Asuna-san!"

"Geez…there he goes off training hard on his own" Asuna sighed "Negi-sensei wants to be strong for us so he goes further than he should at times" observed Ayaka. "But after hearing and seeing Negi-sensei's past we can at least understand why he has that sort of personality. Honestly though Naruto's past still shocks me…" said Setsuna with the other three nodding.

"Neither really had a childhood that others their age would have" said Asuna with a sad look remembering the crying face of Naruto as he sat alone in his apartment age 5. "At least Negi has Naruto to be around in a school full of girls but I think he still needs someone his own age to be his friend." None of that they were being watched from the vents.

Ayaka meanwhile was still admiring her card from Negi "Oh Negi-sensei with this we can fight together with me as your knight to protect you from all harm. I will protect that polite and active child with all my strength and take care of him." She then heard shouting coming from her room and quickly opened the door to be tackled by Kotaro via head butt.

Kotaro quickly relized his mistake "Eh…S-S-Sorry…" he muttered "What's the matter?" asked Natsumi "Uh…this nee-san…" she then spotted Ayaka downed form "Kyaaa! Iincho?" a few moments she got up Ayaka wasn't happy. "What the hell is happening with this kid?" she asked slamming he hand on the table "Crashing into my stomach the moment I see him. What's wrong with you? I threw out the ramen I ate before I got here!" Kotaro looked a little guilty for his actions.

"Calm down its okay Ayaka. And what that in your other hand?" she asked spotting the card which she hadn't let go of. "That's not the issue right now, who the heck is this kid?" she asked pointing at Kotaro. "Oh this child is Natsumi-san's brother Kotaro-kun" Chizuru answered with a smile stunning the other two.

"Brother right?" she said hitting Natsumi lightly with her overly sweet smile "Ah yes" she replied not wanting to suffer as did Kotaro. "Oh is that so? Forgive me about before" apologised Ayaka as Natsumi whispered to Chizuru "But Chizu-nee…" she whined "We don't have a choice Natsumi…"

"What happened to her brother?" Ayaka asked "Well Ayaka…Natsumi-san's home has some complications that I can't say…for Kotaro-kun the only person he can trust is Natsumi-san" Chizuru lied through her teeth complete with fake tears, and she was this devious before she met Naruto.

"Really? Well I guess I can't be helped" said Ayaka believing the bold face lie. "Uh…who's this oba-san that keeps on yabbering?" asked Kotaro pointing at Ayaka making her face fault. Ayaka got up and grabbed Kotaro's shoulders with comical tears "W-Why are you calling a 14 year old young lady an oba-san?"

This actually surprised Kotaro "What! 14? You're kidding me right? You look way older than you are!" he shouted making Ayaka hit him over the head and pull his cheeks. "T-T-This little devil of a kid doesn't think about what he's saying. Which wilderness does this kid come from?"

Kotaro responded by pulling at Ayaka's cheeks "What the hell are you doing you oba-san?" this served to annoy Ayaka further "Look he's as violent as I thought!" Natsumi was quick to pull Kotaro back "But he's just a child Iincho" she told her.

"That doesn't mean he can do anything he wants! This kid is so from that cute little angel Negi-sensei!" she cried "KII! KII! You're so annoying, nee san!" Kotaro shouted back before Ayaka turned back "A-Anyways just get him out of here…this is a girls dorm" she said slamming the door to her room.

"How surprising…I didn't know Ayaka would have this reaction to him…or have one of those cards like the girls in Kyoto" said Chizuru figuring Ayaka had discovered Negi's secret. "You can't call he old Kotaro-kun" Natsumi told the boy "Yeah you're right, the old one here is Chizuru-nee-san…" said girls turned with a threatening aura around her "What did I just hear?" she asked as the two denied saying anything. They were unaware that they were being spied on by a hole in the ceiling.

"What's the situation?" asked a voice to the three slime creatures that were spying. "I found them, the guy that retaliated near the school campus. Maybe the spell worked…now he's talking casually with the ladies, it's a temporary memory loss…" said the creature as it's form began to change as did the others. "Good…let's eliminate them from here" their master informed mentally as the creatures now resembled three chibi girls one wearing glasses and had a laptop, one with pigtails and one with long flowing hair.

"Kotaro's powers are limited to his punishment" informed the one with glassed "Though he can still use Ki…" uttered the pigtailed one as the long haired one said "Defeating him should be a cinch." There was giggling heard by the three mentally "Alright you get to work while I work on my own plans, see you in a bit Aniki" the three nodded as their master spoke again "Don't let the vampire of the Demon detect you"

Outside the dorms there were two figures in the rain as the thunder boomed into the night "Well let's begin" said the older of the two "Yeah this'll be fun" said the other giggling.

"I never knew that Negi-sensei and Naruto had such sad pasts…Yue when I learned that Negi-sensei was a mage I was really excited and even more so when Naruto encouraged it but now…" said Nodoka as she and Yue headed to the baths. "Yeah we went a little overboard but I hope Negi-sensei can find his father and Naruto…can be happy" Yue replied walking into the changing room where Haruna was unchanging "Yo what took you so long?" she asked smiling at the pair.

"Paru, how's the script for your manga? You said it'd be due soon" asked Yue as the three sat in the baths. "Ahaha it's not so good but I have another method of income so I'm okay at the moment" she replied thinking about the Icha, Icha notes she still had to go through.

"The school festival is next month~" said Makie happily as she and the other sports club members were bathing "Ah but there's mid-semester tests before that" Ako added while Yuuna whined "Hey don't remind me~!"

Ako had begun rubbing her arm "My arm's been swelling lately…" she said to herself "Oh, in that case you should use that" she said pulling out a bottle "Just one rub and you can have skim, white and soft skin! The one and only self-use Nuru Nuru X!" Yuuna shouted. "Filled with honey-like slimy feeling making your skin like any model!" a few of the girls crowded round "Taking out strange stuff again…" commented Akira as Yuuna continues "Just one rub on your face and it will shine like the talk show lady on TV" she said sounding like an infomercial.

A few of the girls indulged in the product and sank into the water so it could soak in, while a familiar slime monsters was creeping/sliding into the room. "Why are you running away Makie?" Yuuna teased "You know I hate slimy stuff!" the pigtailed slime creatures dripped into the water "ooh a lot of targets here?" "We're only looking for 5 of them the others don't matter right?" one said to her sisters.

"I haven't come to this world for 6 whole years…I wanna fool around a little!" one sister sighed "Well just don't go overboard…" as she slipped in the nearest person was Chisame who noticed the water changing colour "Hey wait a minute you didn't pour that stuff in here right?" she asked with Yuuna replying "No I didn't."

Chao and Chisame felt something coil around them "W-W-Wait, hold on a second. Why is this water swirling around me?" she asked at the water seemed ghost over her body as if someone was touching her. Some of the other girls felt it too and Chao sank under water but the other chalked it up to he playing a prank.

"What the heck s going on over there?" asked Kazumi seeing the girls splash about unaware of the threat underwater. "Kyhaha this is really fun" said one of the sisters "Alright let's go to work, we have one and it's the other fur over there" said the one in glasses as she held Chao gagged underwater. Before they knew it Nodoka, Kazumi, Ku Fei and Yue were captured by the slime sisters and no one had seen it due to the fuss of the other girls.

"Hai! Come and get it" called Chizuru serving the food out "Uooh, this looks delicious!" said Kotaro "Ah…you still can eat Kotaro-kun" asked Natsumi surprised by the boys appetite "Yep I can still continue. Chizuru decided to call down her other house mate "Hey Ayaka you hungry?" thankfully she was after losing her lunch before.

Although she didn't seem to pay attention to her plate which cost her "Oh iinchi you sure you don't want this? I'll get it then" she said pinch a piece off her plate. "Me too then" said Chizuru joining in as Ayaka cried "Wait nobody said I'm not eating that, het!" Natsumi smiled a sweet innocent smile "Ah this is good~."

Kotaro watched a little bewildered "What's the matter Kotaro-kun?" asked Natsumi "Oh nothing…I just think this is pretty nice…I've never eaten like this. Eating together as a family seems kinda fun, I mean everybody together at one table" he said with a small smile. Hearing this Chizuru hugged Kotaro to her chest "Natsumi-san's home must be rather cruel…" she joked thinking 'guess you are similar to Naruto-kun.'

Natsumi was in anime tears at the statement "It's a normal family, NORMAL!" Chizuru just offered him some more food before the doorbell rang. "Who could that be?" wondered Natsumi "I'll go look" said Ayaka answering the door "May I ask who this is?"

In front of her was an old man that had a beard and moustache wearing a long coat and hat while next to him was a younger man who was wearing a trench coat but had a eerie grin on his face as his spiky black hair still was standing despite the rain.

"My apologises, miss…there might be a little fuss here. My brother and I have something to talk about with a particular boy in here…" he said as the sounds of thunder cracked in the background "You wouldn't mind letting us in now ojou-chan" said the young boy.

XChapter EndX

Ahh nearly Easter holiday and time to catch up on the other stories I have going. Hope you liked this chapter and I know I glanced over Naruto's past but it really is troublesome to write when we all know the basics of Naruto's past. Plus gave you all some nice moments with the girls and a new pactio, well done if you know who he is designed off and I do not own the image I used for reference. Also Ayaka's design is based off a knight of Fairy Tail and may have similar powers but I don't own that image either.

Will be changing this mini arc so that Naruto can fight and I have thought up a legitimate reason for limiting his power this time round too so no winging about weak Naruto okay…?

See you all soon.
