Depening on how I feel the positions in the polls will determine the lemon after the fist place position…hehe, position…bad joke I know
Writers block will always be a curse to many writers, ergh well sorry for the wait people but here is the next chapter of my story
XChapter StartX
"Why is there such a big crowd?" asked Kotaro as he Negi and Yue stood in front of Tatsumiya shrine where many people had gathered. "Probably because of the new prize money" said Naruto behind them with Mana and the Vongola "Apparently someone took over the tournament and made it into a huge event."
"Damn it I should have got here earlier to join to fight to the extreme!" Ryohei shouted upset only Tsuna was signed up for the tournament "huh onii-san who are these guys?" asked Kotaro "Some new friends I've made the excited one there is Ryohei, they are the Vongola family from Italy."
"Wow Italy I hear it's really nice there, I'm Negi Springfield teacher of class 3-A" said Negi with a small bow "Huh so Reborn wasn't the only young teacher in the world" commented Gokudera "Give him so praise Gokudera being a teacher at ten is no easy job" added Yamamoto.
It was then Asuna, Setsuna and Konoka joined the gang "Oh Negi what are you doing here?" asked Asuna "he's here for the tournament Asuna-chan" Naruto said as the girl nodded but looked round "Why is it so crowded round here?"
"Kufufu the draw of money for fighters my dear" said Mukuro "Huh? Who are you?" Naruto tapped her shoulder "Some friends of mine Asuna-chan, that's Mukuro and his partner Chrome, be nice" he said smiling "Alright but what did he mean money for fighters?"
He showed her the sheet with the reward money "EH! Ten Million! The winning prize is ten million yen, that's unbelievable. If I had ten million yen I could easily pay the tuition fee and for daily essentials" she said in thought. "Kufufu another moth to the flame, better hurry and sign up them miss" Mukuro chuckled.
"I'm still curious who's hosting this event now?" wondered "I don't care about the money, I'm just glad some strong people have gathered here, things are getting interesting!" said Kotaro excited "Yes fight to the extreme!" Ryohei shouted behind him then giving him a high five. "Who does this at most events doesn't he?" asked Mana getting a nod from them all.
"It's no longer a small tournament, that's great" said Yue with her juice box "Yes I want to show you what a man in battle looks like" Kotaro said pointing at the girl. "You can't talk to your elders in that tone of voice Kotaro-kun" said Natsumi appearing beside him in a fairy costume "Wha…Natsumi-chan why are you here? I never mentioned the tournament" he asked a little red in the face.
"Oh I searched for it specifically and came to cheer you on. I even ditched the preparations I had to do for the club" she admitted a little sheepishly before looking at Naruto "Oh Chizu-nee told me to tell you she will be here later on Naruto" he nodded as Bianchi whispered into his ear "She likes him doesn't she?" she questioned "Yeah but the poor girls a wallflower and has confidence issues to work through."
"Students of Mahora and visitors from outside the school welcome" said Kazumi the host wearing a tight white dress that stopped mid thigh and had matching arm length gloves "Welcome to the resurrection of the Mahora martial arts tournament! Thank you to those who have gathered at such short notice. The winning prize is ten million yen, now please raise your hands foe this famous and traditional event."
Naruto managed to catch her eyes and give her a small wink making her blush remembering something. "Chamo-kun this is bad" said Setsuna holding the flyer "What's the matter he asked "The person who bought this event, please take a look"
"Then let's hear an opening speech from the person who bought this event. the most popular student in the academy, the miss of Chao Bao Zi…Chao Lingshen!" Kazumi announced as Chao stepped out in a traditional Chinese dress that had a dragon design on the front "Ni Hao" she greeted and bowing in Naruto direction, who smiled and bowed his head in return.
"I bought this event for one reason…no matter if it's from the outer world or inner world, I want to see the strongest person, that's my reason" she said winking at the crowd. 'Hmm…could she mean…' thought Naruto as she continued "Around 20 years ago this event was to allow people from the inner world to challenge each other. But because of small video cameras being developed and the variety of styles being used, this event has drastically shrunk from what it once was.
But I intent to revive the most exciting Mahora Martial Arts Tournament! In it, it's forbidden to use projectile and blade weapons! Curses are also forbidden! Any other techniques are okay as long as you obey these rules" she finished as the crowd became enthralled in the tournament now.
"There is no need to worry. In this day and age no one will believe anything is there are no film records. During this event the Tatsumiya shrine will completely jam all recording equipment, including camera phones. People from the inner world can use their power to the fullest. People from the outer world will be able to see with their own eyes what it is." Naruto sighed a little as this could turn troublesome but would let events unfold before he acted upon his suspicions.
"You ready then Mana-chan, Ku Fei-chan, Kaede-chan" Naruto asked the three "Hai Naruto-kun I'm looking forward to see how far I can keep up with you de-gozaru" replied Kaede while Negi panicked seeing that Ku Fei Mana and Kaede were joining another face made it onto the scene "Looks like the boya forgot about me" said Eva standing with zero at her side.
"Not at all Evangeline-san, just waiting for you to bring life to the part" said reborn as she smirked at him "Nice to see you Reborn, and Naruto don't think just because my power is still sealed doesn't mean I wont beat you into submission" she said darkly "Maybe but your not the only surprise guest right Takamichi?"
Eva turned to see the smoking teacher "Right you are Naruto, this whole event looks fun" he said as Eva looked peeved at his presence "Why would you enter this?" she asked trying to shoo him away. "Well I meant to come and just take a look…but when Negi-kun was little I told him I would have a duel with him, when he got stronger" Takamichi answered as Negi began shaking his arms in denial "No, No, No I am still in training, we can talk about that afterwards" she shouted "Ah is that so?"
"Ahh…Ah… if Takahata-sensei is entering, then I am too" blurted out Asuna "Oh you too Asuna-kun?" Takamichi as asked surprised. "Asuna, shouldn't you think about this first?" asked Konoka "Well all I can say is good luck to you all, I'm going to check something…" said Reborn walking off.
"This spells trouble for me I know it" murmured Tsuna knowing when Reborn was plotting something "I'm tempted to agree with you" replied Naruto "Not to mention my other friend is coming by too…and trust me when I say he's a really good fighter."
"So…Reborn told me you had several partners" he said using air quotes "How much trouble do you find having several girls around you?" he asked as Naruto gave a shrug "Honestly I like it, just makes it feel like a big family to me" he answered as Chao called out to the audience.
"Before this tournament dwindled the winner of the last tournament 25 years ago was a foreigner boy who suddenly appeared at the academy. His name was Nagi Springfield a ten year old boy. If anyone has heard of this name please work hard." Naruto chuckled as he saw Negi's determined face as Tsuna gave a look of confusion "His dad…hasn't seen him in six years" Tsuna nodded at the explanation but Naruto spotted Yue staring at Negi 'Hmm…another possible partner it seems.'
"Now will the competitors come out and draw. The qualifying round with consists of 20 people for a battle royal, until the qualifying round is over we will continue to accept competitors regardless of age or gender. The second round begins on the second day of the festival at 8 am. From now I announce the qualifying round starts now!" shouted Kazumi as both Tsuna and Naruto turned to see the look on the other Vongola members faces.
"This could end badly…" said Naruto "Please…don't put me in the same bracket as them!" Tsuna prayed as they went up to see what group they'd be sorted in. as they stood getting ready to find out a man appeared next to Naruto wearing a with robe that hid his face with a hood "So you've arrived hey Al…?"
"Please Naruto call me Ku:Nel Sanders" the man as Naruto suddenly had a craving for chicken but shook it off "I take it everything is in place for her?" Naruto asked "Indeed, but I'm concerned over that Chao girl, any idea what she's up to?" Naruto shook his head "No, but I'm sure it will reveal itself to us."
"To pass the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament preliminary round, the contestants will be sorted into groups of 20, and will the engage in a battle royal" said Kazumi explaining the rules. "The last two standing in the groups A to H! A total of 16 people can qualify for tomorrow's tournament!" Naruto spotted Mana and Ku Fei in one group and smiled at her mouthing 'good luck' she nodded in return.
Naruto then looked at his slip and then looked to see the seven identical stripes being held by Tsuna and his family "I sense a Hitman's hand in this" he said with Tsuna nodding in confirmation of his thoughts "Kufufu guess we get to see the man who beat Hibari-san in person then" mused Mukuro "Yes it will be a good match to the extreme!"
Ku Fei's battle royal started as she easily dominated her competition including a chief of the kendo club smashing straight through his boken with her fist, while Mana enjoyed the luxury of not having to do anything. Na5uto also observed Negi and Kotaro in groups B and E watching as Negi flipped a guy six times his size with no effort out of the ring, while Kotaro and Kaede were displaying their abilities in shadow clones 'Pfft I can still make more…' he thought.
Asuna, Setsuna, had no trouble beating down their opponents while Eva and Takamichi managed t take down theirs without it looking like they were touching them although Naruto could tell Takamichi's technique as he'd seen it from the samurai of iron country.
Back with Naruto he was forced to avoid several assaults on his person from an aggressive Ryohei hoping to tire him out, sadly it seemed as though the man had stamina to spar when it came to boxing. Plus Naruto had noticed someone trying to play with his mind and figured it was Mukuro as he seemed like the type to mess with you. "Come on give me an extreme match Naruto!" he shouted as Naruto then caught his wrist, the fist an inch from his face "Very well…" slipping into Goken stance he delivered a hard punch to his chest forcing him back before twisting round kicking Mukuro away and finally Cross catching Yamamoto's bamboo sword between is elbow and knee.
"Kufufu…how exciting I wish I could play with him more, sadly it might be frowned upon in this tournament" said Mukuro knowing none of them would be going all out especially since Gokudera couldn't use his specialised weapon. As the other groups quickly finished around them all attention was on Naruto's as he was fighting multiple opponents with apparent ease but all could tell that knew this fight could be so much more impressive.
Ku Fei at the side was awe struck seeing the Goken stance, the original style, which hers was based off, in full display 'Amazing…his form is perfect and his blows release all the energy of Ki at once…a true master…aru…' she though. His opponents all tried to rush Naruto from all sides "Kaimon…Kai" he muttered as he vanished and Mukuro, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei and Tsuna were all kicked in the air at once by Naruto and four clones.
Without so much as blinking Naruto and the clones were above the fie leg raised high and slamming it down for a axe kick sending them down to the stage creating a dust cloud. When it had cleared Naruto stood in the middle of the stage not looking winded at all while the five had been knocked unconscious from the kicks to the head. "We…We have finished, the winners have been decided after the amazing display by teachers Springfield and Uzumaki. The winners will all being going through to the main tournament…well done everyone" Kazumi announced.
"The main match starts tomorrow at 8 am at the Tatsumiya tournament stage" they waited as the pair ups were chosen "well, the results of the draw for tomorrow's matches will now be revealed…here they are…"
Bracket A:
Tanaka vs Takane D Goodman
Negi Springfield vs Takahata Takamichi
Asuna Kagurazaka vs Setsuna Sakurazaki
Evangeline A. K. McDowell vs Yamashita Keiichi
Bracket B:
Mei Sakura vs Kotaro Murakami
Daigouin vs Ku:Nel Sanders
Kaede Nagase vs Naruto Namikaze
Mana Tatsumiya vs Ku Fei
Naruto looked over to Kaede who looked pleased about the match as she could see where she stood in terms of strength and just how good a ninja she was. Ku Fei was a little worried over her match with Mana while Negi was panicking about his match "Uu…first round with Takamichi…!"
"I look forward to tomorrow Negi-kun, please go easy on me" smiled Takamichi "Geez teasing me like that you no I'm no match for you Takamichi" Negi laughed nervously "We won't know until you try" he chuckled back that was shared with Naruto. "Negi do you mind lending me the watch I still have some events to go to…" Naruto whispered as Negi slipped him the watch but reminded him he'd need it since the girls were talking about seeing him at their events so he, Negi and Kotaro activated the watch and Naruto told them he'd find them when they needed to.

As they travelled back in time the three made a quick stop to the Horror house since the girls had said he and Naruto had helped out. "Negi-kun and Naruto-kun are going to help" said a surprised Yuuna "Yes we decided since we are the teachers for the class Yuuna-chan we'd take part and we brought Kotaro with us too to help."
"Eh? Oi me as well?" Naruto nodded "That's great, nya. Please put on these on and get customers…we may get more girls too with Naruto-kun, nya" said Yuuna handing him and Negi their outfits.
A few minutes later Negi dressed in a vampire costume stood next to Kotaro in a werewolf outfit that he wasn't too pleased about and Naruto was in a wizards robe complete with staff "Please come to the 3-A horror house!" called Negi holding a sigh for promotion "Come on everyone and have a try" said Naruto smirking as many girls around began being drawn by Negi's cuteness and Naruto's charm.
"Hmm…Negi-kun is useful, the cuteness of a child has a wide appeal from women to the seniors" mused Yuuna "But Naruto-kun brings in more girls around our age and if we offer him for touching we could make a mint" hearing thus Misa put a plan in motion.
"Good job, Negi-kun now try this on and there's something here for you Naruto-kun" she said handing them their costumes which for Negi was a miniskirt outfit with kitsune ears and tail, where as Naruto had ended up in an all black outfit (think sephiroth) that showed off his chest and had many girls drooling. "I feel like a piece of meat at a zoo feeding time and is it wrong that Negi looks too much like a girl right now?" Naruto asked not getting an answer as the girls were too fixed on him.
"I think you've lost them Naruto-nii but where is Negi-sensei?" asked Ayaka who when pointed out where Negi was fell back with a nose bleed "This…is heaven…" she muttered as she went down. "Negi why don't you go make your rounds and help advertise while you're out" suggested Naruto thinking that one having both him and Negi here would be over kill and two Ayaka would go with him so she could spend some time with Negi.
As the two left with Kotaro following Naruto had indeed rope in to make money with girls clambering to have him take them through the horror house…so more forceful in their attempts in the house than others. 'Forever there will be fangirls…forever will I wish to get away*' he thought as in another universe and time a green haired man was filled with eternal rage and starting building a charge of lightning to shock the nearest person…poor fellow still he didn't have any eyebrows to urn off at least.
Thankfully at one point he had managed to substitute himself with an enhanced clone and made to leave for his appointment. His stop was by the school pool where the swim team was giving a demonstration of their club members, Naruto had sat sown as several of the girls put n a small race for the visitors. Soon after the girls had started coming out of the pool and Naruto waved to Akira who had asked he'd come at watch her, she smiled when she spotted and dried of with her towel as he came down to greet her.
"You did good there Akira-chan, you must rally work hard in the swim team?" Naruto said "Yeah it's tough but it's worth it plus I love the feel of being in the water…it's lets you feel free" she replied as she asked him to wait while she quickly get changed. She came back out in a black skirt, and white shirt and blue jacket "Ready to wander around the festival Akira-chan?"
"Sure" she replied as she took the arm he had offered for her. The two of them took t the stands at the festival enjoying a few snacks and playing games where Naruto had managed to pick up a fox plushie for Akira which she thanked him for since she didn't really have anything like it before.
The two eventually ended up on the steam boat just enjoying the wind on their skin while the rode the waves "Thanks again for this Naruto, it's nice to relax at the festival after all the planning and work we all put in" she said smiling as she ate some of the takoyaki they bought. "It's no trouble Akira-chan, I like spending time with all of you, I'm just lucky you're one of the more level headed girls in the group whereas Yuuna-chan is a little crazy for example" she giggled thinking about how her friend behaves and blushed hearing his statement before spotting something.
"Hey Naruto is that Negi-sensei and Yue over there?" she asked spotting the two with Chamo on Negi's shoulder 'Hmm…looks like Negi had another date before he came to the tournament yester…today' he thought "Yeah I think it is, he sure is popular in the class huh Akira-chan?" he said smiling as Akira nodded watching as Yue pulled out a training wand and cast the wind training spell causing all the girls wearing skirts to fly up exposing their panties which when it happened to Akira made her light up red very fast and try to pull it down hoping Naruto hadn't seen her blue striped panties…he had.
'Cute…' he thought seeing Akira's embarrassed expression from the unwanted flashing "Did…did you see?" she asked he nodded "Yeah but don't worry about it Akira-chan, besides no one else saw" he said reassuring the girl. "I'm glad it was you then Naruto…you are always so considerate to all us girls in 3-A. How is it you became such a nice guy?" he leaned both his elbows against the rails as he stared at the clouds "Just one of those mysteries Akira-chan, you'd need to learn a lot to find out why" he replied.
"I heard your in the tournament tonight, how do you think you'll do?" she then asked since she had heard it from Ku Fei "I'll be fine but may have to bust out some of my old ninja moves" Akira tilted her head "Ninja moves?" he smirked "You'll see trust me" she smiled "I already do."
The rest of the ride went peacefully with the two enjoying each other's company and making small talk between them. When they got off the boat Naruto checked his watch and realized he had somewhere to be "Akira-chan, looks like I have to go to one of my other appointments is that ok?" he asked the girl who nodded "Yes it's fine Naruto and thanks again for today it was…nice…" she said as she gave him a kiss on his cheek before walking off to find her friends blushing "Bye Naruto-kun" she waved as Naruto rubbed the spot she kissed.
"Yeah see ya Akira-chan" he waved back 'Guess she's interested, wonder how she'll react to my situation" he pondered heading to one of the academy libraries.

"What is Negi-sensei doing in this place? This is a rogue event that's not even listed in the official programme. Regular students shouldn't know about this!" Chisame shouted at Negi as Naruto came upon the two.
"It's probably because you posted about this on your homepage and me and Negi are regulars to the site" Naruto explained as both turned to see him waving "Wait does that mean you two have been spying on my homepage" she accused them as Naruto brought up his hands defensively. "No actually we both like how much effort you put into it and your diary is a fun read too, I commented that 'Your writing is sweet, well written and fun to read'."
"Wh…Wh…What…you're Fishcake1010" he nodded 'I can't believe Naruto's one of my biggest fans on the site and always makes nice comments on the diary posts…wait he's been reading the diary of mine…everyday…' she thought her face going read at the prospect of him knowing her thoughts of him.
"Are you entering the contest right Chisame-san?" asked Negi breaking her train of thought "Eh…no…I don't really…" stuttered as the two boys began dragging her "Come on or you'll miss it" he said as they found Makie, Ayaka and Kotaro waiting for them.
"Hey Negi-kun, Naruto-kun" waved Makie dressed like a cat complete with bell "Eh what's going on maiie-san?P" asked Negi "I saw you around earlier so I came after you" she said giving a peace sign and making Ayaka slightly annoyed "Oh Naruto-nii when did you get here" she asked spotting him. "Not long ago, I'm in the contest so I'll need to change in a bit" he said cthcing the girls and boys attention.
"What are you cosplaying as onii-san?" asked Kotaro as Naruto patted his head "Secret" he said smirking "Is Hasegawa-san entering?" Ayaka then asked "No I'm…" she tried to say but was interrupted "Chisame-chan you've done cosplays before haven't you?" asked Makie.
"How about you guys enter too, Ayaka-san?" suggested Negi as her and Makie got excited at the prospect "Ahh sounds interesting sure. Then let's furry into the cosplay contest" said Makie "Hohoho I will not lose in front of Negi-sensei!" added Ayaka accepting the hidden challenge "Hey you two don't just suddenly…" Chisame tried to stop them.
A few minutes later Naruto, Negi and Chisame were wandering around the various cosplays from super sentai to final fantasy 7 "Wow lot of good cosplays here right Negi?" asked Naruto "Um it's really interesting" he replied as Chisame grabbed Naruto's shoulder "Hey wait Naruto…" she said as he turned to her.
"What's wrong Chisame-chan?" he asked her "please listen to me, I'm not going to enter the contest" she said her face as red as her hair "Why not?" he asked "Because I have no plans to enter a trivial contest like this!" she said quickly "And what's the real reason" he asked as she was caught off guard by this "I…I…I was just observing that's all I'm doing today."
"We're done signing up" called Ayaka "We've signed Chisame-chan together with us too" added Makie shocking Chisame 'What kind of reckless thing did these people just do?' She thought as Ayaka was now in a nurse's outfit and Makie was in gym wear with added cat features. This annoyed Chisame as they were not taking cosplay seriously 'this event is a character cosplay event isn't it? There's no meaning in a shallow cosplay that only makes middle aged men happy these idiots. Neko mimi with gym clothes isn't that bad though' she thought.
"Wait a minute you punks! She shouted "Even is you go out like that it's useless. You'll only get embarrassed now come here you two. An event is an event, it's useless id you don't go out without more content right…here I'll lend you my clothes. If you're entering aim for the prize because you punks are good material" she told them as the two were now dressed in sailor moon style outfits with bunny ears and soon the two ere off.
Chisame smirked seeing as the two might actually win "It's nice to see you help out your class mates with this Chisame-chan even thought you might not usually" he smirked to her "Shut up the brat talked them into it she yelled back as Naruto shook his head talking out a scroll from his pocket labelled outfit. In a puff of smoke Naruto now stood in a black kimono, tabi socks, straw sandals and a white haori that had the kanji for 13 in the middle of a rhombus on the back.
"Wooow, Ukitake from Bleach should have guessed with your hair" Chisame commented as he gave her a warm smile like his character would "Yeah but you still haven't told me why you didn't enter the competition despite this being your area of expertise." She huffed and stared at the backs if Ayaka and Makie "You don't get it Naruto…Iincho and Makie, they have originally beautiful skin and good looking faces, their styles are good too.
Please don't mix me together with those natural-born beautiful-cute people. Speaking raw material wise I'm very much a plain regular middle school student. I can see what the results will be if I enter. My principle is not to enter much risk matches so please leave me alone" she said with a sad look before rubbing her head in pain from where Naruto flicked her in the forehead.
"Honestly where did you get the idea that you weren't a natural beauty Chisame-chan I've seen you pictures and I know that there are only small details changed in them. When I look at you I see a natural beautiful girl Chisame-chan and no one else can dissuade me from thinking that. I hope to see you at the contest Chisame-chan…I know you'd win if you took part" he told her giving her shoulder a small squeeze as he was called out.
"Entry 17 Naruto Uzumaki has come on to the stage" said the announcer as Naruto walked out with a warm smile in character before pulling out his prop for his costume his katana "nami kotogotoku waga tate to nare, ikazuchi kotogotoku waga yaiba to nare: Sōgyo no Kotowari" he cried as he used a henge on the katana transforming the blade to its dual form amazing the crowd. "That guy really put effort into his costume" were some of the comments made as he walked back to the others.
He was just in time to see that Chisame had been put into her cosplay costume by Ayaka and Makie before being pushed on stage. She was in an all black sailor suit, compared to the white ones that Ayaka and Makie wore. One her back were red devil wings, with small red devil horns on her head. She also wore black stockings as well as a devil tail. "Number 18 Hasegawa Chisame-san, her character is from the enemy forces of Bibulion Roulan Rouge" said the announcer as the girls cried for her real name being used.
But as she stood on stage Chisame was quiet and began tear up on stage muttering I'm sorry to the crowd as she slumped to her knees. 'Chisame-chan…wait I know…' thought Naruto as he zipped into the crowd before shouting "Cute!" the rest of the crowd began to agree and shouted "Moe!" at Chisame who looked into the crowd and spotted Naruto smiling making her smile back with a red face. A few minutes later Chisame was announced the winner of the competition with Negi and the others cheering for her she noticed Naruto next to them leaning against the wall "Thanks for that Naruto." She said not looking him in the eye. "Though the school festival was always boring for me, thanks to you it let me get this award" she said to him as he chuckled "No need to thank me Chisame-chan but I'm happy you won."
Chisame was happy with her achievement until Negi and Kotaro noticed a pair of strings "Huh? Negi what's this string?" asked Kotaro "Eh there's one here too" he replied as the two pulled and Chisame noticed what they were doing "Ah Stop it you brats that line is the costume's…"
With that her costume came apart leaving her in a strapless black bra and matching panties and she quickly tried to maintain her decency by covering herself as boys were snapping up pictures calling for more service. Thankfully Naruto put the haori around her before picking her up off the stage "I thought I told you to make sure there weren't any lose threads Chisame-chan" he said t the girl as she wiped for eyes from the embarrassment.
Not long after the two were walking back to the festival Chisame in casual clothes now "You know if you were having trouble with your sewing you could have come back for another lesson Chisame-chan" he told her as she turned her head from him "It wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for those brats." He chuckled at her reply "Maybe but you looked good before" he complimented which was taken the wrong way as she pointed an accusing finger "Pervert" she muttered.
"Ha, ha you know I meant the costume, it was well designed Chisame-chan it was the loose string that was your downfall. Besides like I told you before you're a beautiful girl Chisame-chan, anyone would be lucky to hav-hmph" he was cut off as she kissed him on the lips when he didn't see it coming "Don't tell anyone or else…" she said with a scarlet face that rivalled his mothers hair "See you later Naruto…kun" she said running off.

"Nii-san can we play ninja again?" asked one of the small girls in the nursery with the cutest face possible "Sure you all get started and I'll start my capture mission in a minutes" he smiled back as she and her friends all ran off to hide from him. Naruto liked playing games with the kids at the nursery since it reminded him of his times with Konohamaru and the others "They playing ninja again Naruto-kun?" asked Chizuru leaning her head against his arm.
"Yeah it's fun to see all the happy faces playing, takes my mind off all the other craziness in my life" he said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder "But I'm glad how things have turned out" Chizuru smiled hearing this. "Are you coming party later after the tournament?" he nodded "Yeah I'll be there and I doubt the first round will take too much but I think we might see Reborn and the other's there, his boss was supposed to be bringing his kids too"
"Hmm that's be nice, do you mind if I join you playing before we head out for a bite to eat?" she asked as he smiled down at her "I have no problem Chizuru-chan, lets see how long these little ninjas can hide from the two of us" he said as the two giggled and heard snickers across the playground.
Not long after the kids had been found and were enjoying a nice nap while their two carers were sat by the window enjoying the view provided by the festival. Chizuru was sat in Naruto's lap as the two engrossed in a tongue battle, Chizuru being the one to be in control this time for the battle.
Although you wouldn't expect it Chizuru had a perverted side to her that you would never see due to how she appeared, in reality she enjoyed them and had actually read all the current Icha, Icha novels to date and honestly couldn't wait for her next chance to try out some moves. After a few minutes the kissing stopped but Chizuru wasn't finished as she began licking Naruto's whisker marks making him purr and made her seem like a vixen wanting some attention.
'Mmm…damn Chizuru-chan really knows how to make me feel good she could be as bad as Haruna-chan given the chance. Better stop here before the kids start waking up I'd rather not be the one to give them the talk' he thought as he pushed Chizuru away making her whimper in disappointment.
"None of that, anymore and the kids will start waking up and I don't think you want the children to see us having too much fun" he smirked as she blushed at the thought "Well then what do we do?" she asked. "Well…I've got a little time left before I have to head down to the tournament and I can leave a clone to look after the kids so…dinner and a walk around the festival?"
She nodded as he created the clones for the kids and the two wandered off to one of the local restaurants and ordered their meals. When their meals arrived Chizuru was playing footsie under the table with Naruto giggling all the way as he leg went high and higher each time. "Chizuru-chan you wouldn't happen to be developing a taste for exhibitionism would you?" she smirked "Oh Naruto-kun what ever gave you that idea, I swear you get the craziest ideas sometimes."
He shook his head at her antics as they continued chatting up until she asked him "So…are you a clone or do I have the real you?" she asked making him take a spit-take of his drink "Wha…Wha…why do you ask that?" he replied bewildered. "Funny thing is as we were walking down here I happened to spot a familiar face jumping over the roofs care to explain" he chuckled nervously over being caught and explained the function of the watch and what he'd already done that day already.
"So Mana-san and you are meeting Reborn and his family later who have really cute children, Naruto-kun is anything with you simple?" she asked mirthfully "I wish I knew Chizuru-chan, anyway I'll probably be observing from the side before joining you all for the end of day celebration, but I think I'm going to be busy tomorrow for a few days. I'll probably be heading to the resort though do you wanna come?"
"Sure of course I would Naruto-kun, I happen to like spending time with you we'll just have to pick up some clothes for it okay" he nodded as they finished their meal and headed off to get what was needed before watching the tournament then staying with the rest before he, Chizuru, Negi, Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna, Kotaro and Asuna went to rest off in the resort.

After having a good sleep Naruto had awoke in the resort feeling fresh in his black shorts and navy blue jacket and was going through morning exercises as the girls played together before Negi came out. "Morning Negi" he called "Ah good morning Naruto-nii" he called back.
"Did you sleep well Negi-kun?" asked Konoka as Kotaro shouted "Oh Negi you're up. Eeyaah this resort is awesome" he commented as it was his first trip here "Don't get o excited Kotaro-kun" called Chizuru to the boy.
"But it is nice that we can all rest here right everyone" she got nods from all around "Especially since we were forced to go with everyone to the middle night festival and the whole thing dragged on until 4 in the morning and we were just thinking about what will become but this thing really saved us" explained Asuna.
"I'm surprised you all actually managed to stay up that long and still ha all that energy must be the power of youth or something" he shuddered as he felt two voices screaming somewhere. "Thanks to this resort that stretches one hour outside into one day. We're the only ones that have the whole day to spend until the tournament" said Kotaro "Yeah most of my dates are after the tournament thankfully and if not the time machine is pretty handy" said Naruto.
"Who do you have a date with tomorrow then Naruto-kun and do I get another?" she asked smiling innocently aware of the pair of eyes slightly glaring at her "No you had yours, my other partners I have time with tomorrow especially since one of them I'll be trumping in the tournament" he noted to all getting a nod from the girl who hugged his arm "Well I had my fun, I guess I can wait till next time" she said pressing her assets into his arm making him flush a little.
As the girls went back to playing Kotaro turned to Naruto "Are you sure they shouldn't be getting ready for the tournament onii-san, they are participating like us?" Kotaro questioned as Naruto shook his head "They'll be fine but why don't we get ready" he suggested "Yeah good idea, you ready Negi?"
"Yes, he said activating the Cantus Bellax spell with "Hooo, he can do it without reciting the words now" observed Naruto impressed at Negi's progress "Ahh because spells without incantations seem to be basic for a magic fighter" noted Chamo.
"Without incantation it looks almost no different from a concentration of Ki" said Kotaro "Most likely because it is similar in origin Kotaro. Magic power and Ki refer to energies that reside inside an infinite variety of living organisms, but magic power is the spiritual power to collect the natural energies that is full in the atmosphere and bringing it under the control of one's own body. On the other hand Ki is the internal burning of one's own energy that resides within everyone. This is the reason why magic power is referred to as spirit power and Ki as physical power.
Where I came from we were trained to actually combine the two powers together but I discovered there is a new way to combine them here and I must say it's pretty impressive but you'll have to wait for the tournament" Naruto commented getting raided eyebrows "I don't get it…" said Kotaro "never mind then" Naruto shook his head.
"So Negi how long can you hold that for?" Kotaro asked his friend "30 minutes, no sweat" he told him "30 minutes…then the matches aren't a problem for you" he heard Naruto laugh "Don't be so quick to presume thing Kotaro" Negi nervously laughed "He's right against people like master I wouldn't be able to hold it for even 5 minutes."
"What? Wasn't that your full power yet?" Kotaro asked the boy who shook his head "No I'm not done yet" he said turning to the sea 'Sagitta Magica, Series Lucis' he mentally chanted as nine orbs or light surrounded him then shot out. "Oh a bunch came out even without incantations" said Kotaro impressed "The most is 9 shots but it's more than 1 shot, it's necessary to go from only a few seconds to a charge up period of more than 10 seconds" Chamo explained.
The two compared their attack on the sea as Naruto stood back from them "They're getting better everyday aren't they?" said Chizuru next to him "Yeah it's surprising that he progresses so fast in his training but his opponent is Takamichi tomorrow he's got his work cut out form him, can I rely on you to heal him up after though?" he asked the girl who smiled and nodded.
"But you know it Negi, no matter how much power you have if you can't make contact with your enemy then there's no meaning right?" said Kotaro as Negi pushed his fingers together "That's true, even now my physical techniques are still no match at all for Ku-sensei or master." Seeing a chance to one-up him Kotaro made clones of him self "Ha, can you do kage bunshins, Negi?" he felt someone tap his shoulder and turned to see 10 Naruto clones behind him "He can't, I can and I'm a full fledged master too."
"Well then can you do Instant movement (Shundo)?" he then asked Negi "Shundo?" said Negi confused "Like this, concentration Ki into your feet, for you it's magic power though" he explained as he appeared at the opposite side of the beach in an instant. Negi then began practicing but was rough to star as he flew off trying.
Naruto then noticed someone coming up and saw Eva walking toward them with Chachazero beside her, and handed Negi a spell casters ring as he was trying to figure out a way to improve his Sagitta Magica with Kotaro. "How are you today Eva-chan?" he asked "Fine and ready to take you down in the tournament" she said confident "My Eva-chan you must really want to win" commented Chizuru.
"Damn right she does master wants to prove her strength t her crush" said the little doll before she ran off seeing the glare and red face of Evangeline. "So what level are you going at then Naruto?" she asked as she calmed down "At best…30% maybe 50% for my final round" she blinked in surprise "Who the heck are you expecting to fight in the finals?" she asked getting the reply "An idiot."

Naruto stood beside Ku:Nel with the other competitors by thee time Negi, Kotaro, Asuna and Setsuna had arrived he had said he needed to meet up with someone once they had left the resort. By the front door stood: Mana, Ku and Kaede. Mana was wearing a long white trench coat that was zipped up, and was buttoned at the top. She was also wearing matching pants. Ku Fei was still wearing her Chinese dress, though the sides of this one stopped at her thighs. Kaede was wearing the same tux she wore when the class had set up the maid cafe.
Naruto noticed the faces he didn't know really one being a tall man with spiky hair and shades. To the side were two clocked contestants who Naruto had a good idea of who they were. When they spotted him Negi and the others walked over to him as did Takamichi "Hey guys, Takamichi" he greeted them all.
"Hello Naruto, Negi-kun it's good to see you look different from yesterday I'm glad. Today I can finally see how far you have grown since then Negi" said Takamichi as Negi gulped. "Takamichi I'm going to try hard today, because I'm not going to lose to my father so Takamichi let's not hold back" said Negi determined wearing clothes like he had seen his father wear and his staff on his back.
"Looks as though you have your resolve Negi but I think you two should hold back a little" smiled Naruto with Takamichi "Indeed, Negi-kun it would be best to hold back. If we seriously go at it and our magic gets exposed it'd be problematic" he whispered to him. Asuna then perked up "Uh Takahata-sensei, Negi's father…do you know about the thousand master?" she asked "Hm…yeah I know"
"Then uh…it can't be that Takahata-sensei too is as I thought a mage?" she said shocked red faced "Ah…Yes, that's right sorry Asuna-kun I should have told you about this sooner. There's Konoka-kun's thing too and somehow I just didn't get a chance to tell you" he apologised. "By the way Asuna-kun when did you learn about magic?" Naruto answered with a quick "First day Negi got here Takamichi" this surprised him "EH! Ahahaha, really? It was such a fast attack?" he nervously laughed seeing how quickly it was revealed to her.
"…Asuna-kun…I think it's still a little early but it might be time for us to talk about some things" he said before the announcement of Kazumi came over "Good Morning contestants!" she said in her mike in a black version of her outfit yesterday with Chao stood next to her in her Chinese dress. "Welcome and thanks for gathering. 30 minutes from now the first match will be starting…let us explain the rules here!"
Naruto turned to Ku:Nel as Kazumi explained the rules "Takamichi wants to tell Asuna-chan about what can't remember right?" he said to the man reading from an orange book as he listened in "Yes, by now she is ready to know especially with you and Negi-kun by her side. Although she seems fixed on Takamichi, despite the two of you being a good match" he commented as Naruto shook his head.
"Asuna-chan loves Takamichi, even if I like her I have no place of trying to butt into her life no matter how much I want. Unless she wants it I'll just be by her side to protect her" he said with a small sigh "Hmm…can't believe the publisher of this has trouble with girls" Naruto's eyes twitched at this "You know you don't have to read that in public Ku:Nel" the man smiled "But I want to see what happens in the chapter."
"What am I doing here again? Chisame asked herself as she was at the viewing area of the shrine with her portable laptop by her. "Oh right, Naruto sent me a ticket for the tournament. Still at least Naruto might put on a show, seem he and Negi-sensei did yesterday" she muttered to herself.
In another part of the shrine Haruna, Yue and Nodoka were waiting for the tournament to start "Uhhh I can't wait for this, wonder how Naruto-kun and Negi-kun will fare against their opponents" said Haruna "Negi-sensei and Naruto are very strong so it should be fine, right Yue?" replied Nodoka "Y-yeah that's right" she stuttered. "Huh Yue what's wrong did something happen?" asked Haruna "Eh no…not really" Haruna had a dark look on her face when she asked "Really…?"
"Eh Chizu-nee Kotaro-kun is in the first match!" said Natsumi looking at the schedule for the fights "Well…I hope he will be okay" she said a little concerned for the boy. "No problems he's strong, Negi-sensei is in the 6th match and Naruto is in 3rd match. I have rehearsals for my play too, I hope I get to see the matches."
"So Naruto-kun will be fighting against one of his partners in his first match then, hope it won't affect him too much" said Kyoko as she sat with Tsuna and the others who were excited to watch the match since they had been knocked out by Naruto already. "Trust me when I say I won't the times I tried to bite him to death showed me that he can fight under many circumstances without fault" commented Hibari.
"Kufufu, I must admit though I'm curious to see if he'll use that weapon he beat you with Hibari or another for the fights, almost makes me want to possess him" Chrome tugged at his arm when he said that "Mukuro-sama you promised you wouldn't do that anymore" she said quietly as he brushed a hand through her hair. "I said almost Chrome-chan, I doubt I'd be able to anyway his will gulps my own by miles.
"I'm just looking forward to watching an extreme match of my new rival" shouted Ryohei before being smacked in the head "Keep it down Turf-top don't embarrass the 10th at this public event. However…Naruto does interest me, he's obviously much stronger than we expected from first glance.
"You're right…the way he holds himself, it shows that he has great inner and outer strength almost like a master swordsman" said Yamamoto. "He is a master swordsman, one of the first time he beat me he should him self to be a master of any bladed weapon" added Hibari making the man smile "Now I have to fight him in a duel after all this.
"To all the audiences, thank you for waiting!" said Kazumi as her voice echoed over the shine "Starting now will be the beginning the first match of the Mahora arts tournament. In this corner we have the mystery shonen ninja contestant Murakami Kotaro. And the other corner the middle school second grade girl, contestant Sakura Mei"
"Well it begins…" said Naruto as the two stood off next to each other 'today I see where I stand next to him' he thought thinking about what he and Ku:Nel had agreed to.
XChapter endX
Well people I'm back and I must first apologise for this long break in my writing due to the deadly case of writers block that plagued my system. I swear I would star at the screen and be unable to write a single word so please forgive my if the chapter isn't the best this time round but at least the tournament fights are coming up next chapter and if people know how I think you can guess what will happen in Naruto's fight with Ku:Nel.
Also I will be writing a chapter later on where the full cast of KHR will fight against Naruto and his partners so please consider that since their battle was short for the qualifier round. Have thought of a good pactio for Naruto when he makes contract with Haruna but hers will remain the same as her original is perfect for her and should not be changed.
*if you get this reference well done and you have read what I believe to be one of the best fanfics for Naruto on the site, but I do not own the story but please read it.
Hope to see you all soon till next time bye
