XChapter StartX
"D…Da…d" muttered Negi seeing a face he hadn't seen in six years "Bleh, bleh what's with all these birds, another exaggerated act from Al?" said the red haired man before spotting the little boy "Da…Dad!" cried Negi dashing out to the man.
"Oi just now the child teacher said dad!" exclaimed one of the audience "Yeah he did" confirmed another. "Wai…what, that red haired super hottie?" said a shocked Misa "That hairstyle and colour it's probably true" muttered Makie "Yes…it's really him" said Ayaka remembering seeing that face in the memory.
Negi just ran toward the charming, sparkling smiling man before jumping out to him, only for him to flick him away causing a collecting mass confusion at the act. Naruto just face palmed at the act "He really is blunt isn't he?" he asked Eva "Yeah, but at the time he was so stubborn I couldn't help but be attracted" she said staring as Naruto held her close with his arm as she leaned her head against him.
"Mahora Martial Arts Tournament Finals is it…? Giving me such a stage like this on purpose, that guy is hard-working as always" said Nagi before looking to Negi. "Ah-Ah-Ah how pathetic my son, crying like a baby even though you're a boy" he said down to him "Wha…I-I-Isn't it obvious that you'd cry for something like this…?" he questioned comically as Negi crouched down to him.
"Don't cry just for something like this. If you're a man you wouldn't cry for anything" he said plainly making Naruto question why this man was such a hero to Negi. "U…Wha…but that's because I have always, always, always been searching for da-funyo…?" he was stopped by Nagi grabbing his cheek and pulling.
"Hahaha what's with this oi, you're all banged up" laughed Nagi pulling his sons cheeks "What a serious looking brat, even though you're supposed to by my son…" Negi pushed off his father's hands. "It hurts dad" cried Negi as his father pointed "Ahah you're crying again" he mocked.
"So you're around 10 years old? What an amazing thing. As far as my memory goes you're not even born yet" he said making the boy tear up "Dad uh…I…I…" he tried to say as Nagi ruffled his hair. "Well then we don't have much time" said Nagi Shundo-ing away from his son "Besides I'm not good at…talking seriously like this and we're finally given a stage like this too…"
He took a battle stance "I'm going to give you some training Negi" he smirked shocking Negi getting the chance to fight his father "You made it all the way to the finals, that means you got skills right?" Negi nodded to the question. "This is all I can do for you now…come" he said as Negi smiled a little "Yes Dad"
"A man of action…huh somehow I think talking to his mother would be better" muttered Naruto watching the father and son get ready. "I think you would she was apparently very intelligent and harsh on Nagi when he acted up, not that it fazed him" replied Eva "Well I'll have to look forward to that then, but for now lets see how my brother can fight the legend of the Thousand Master" he smirked.
"T-This is…does this mean a match between father and son…?" questioned Kazumi at the side while Nagi took note of something. "That's an interesting stance…is that Chinese kenpo?" he asked excitedly "Y-Yes" Negi replied as the audience chattered about the match and Konoka dragged Setsuna to the side.
"Try to hang on for as long as you can or it'll be over too soon alright?" said Nagi calmly as his son could only think 'Even so dad…right now you are in front of me. Even is you are only an illusion which will disappear I 10 minutes…' he thought sadly Shundo-ing forward in front of Nagi 'Right there at the spot, where I could touch you if I was to extend my arms like this. Right now you are…' Nagi caught his fist and blocked his knee.
Nagi countered with his own knee creating several magic arrows slamming them into Negi 'Dad…even if it's just for a bit longer, even if it's only for a second longer…' he thought dodging out the way and Shundo-ing behind Nagi with his own magical arrows prepared. 'I want to be like this with you' he thought using his Ouka Houken on Nagi who gripped his wrist befoe it could connect sending electricity through him shocking Negi.
He then launched Negi into the air 'Ah but…' Nagi appeared above Negi and kicking him down and charge his fist before launching a large Sagitta Magica at Negi. Thinking quickly Negi shot his own Sagitta Magica to propel himself out the way. 'Once this is over you'll be gone again' he thought call his staff to him 'Dad, I will reach you one day' he thought flying to cross fists with Nagi who smiled at his son's determination.

"1…2…3…4…" Kazumi counted as Negi stood over his downed son "You hung on well Negi. AH but you know it's just, see, if you don't have a levitation technique, it'll be tough for you at higher levels you know. Nice job dodging it by using the recoil from the arrow though. At the very least you should be able to do void Shundo" Nagi evaluated his son's performance.
"When I was your age, I was already able to do both you know?" he smirked "Hehe just like I thought dad is strong. Just like I thought…you're the dad that I have always imagined" smiled Negi as his father chuckled. "Well that's great, here" he said offering his hand "10 it's over contestant Ku:Nel Sanders wins!" announced Kazumi as the crowd cheered.
"Not bad…not bad at all" muttered Naruto "Yeah the boya has come some way to fight as long as he did…you gonna do what you said you would before" Eva asked as Naruto grinned "Oh yeah" Eva grinned too seeing what he was going to do.

Down below Asuna and Mei were dodging blasts from the mechs and Tanaka units "More helpers…t-there's no end to them" said Mei in panic "Wai…I don't wanna get stripped to death in a weird way by weird robots in a place like this…" cried Asuna as hey ran.
"Huhu Mei, Kagurazaka-san thank you for waiting" said Takane "The apostle of justice Takane D. Goodman Revives" she said in a pose "Onee-sama" said Mei in relief seeing her Senpai."Now that I'm back all is well. Here I go, Shadow Control Technique Close-Range Combat Ultimate Ou…" she was cut off as all the robots blasted her at once "Onee-sama" cried Mei as her Senpai ended up stark naked 'again'.
"You guys are completely useless" shouted Asuna as she faced the robots "This is probably impossible…" muttered Chamo. "Ahh, Takahata-sensei…I wanted to go save you, but who knew I would be exhausted in a place like this…and for once I was the one who was in a position to help I'm sorry' she thought accepting her defeat.
'Please lean down Asuna-kun' said a familiar voice in Asuna's head 'Get down' it said as from one end of the tunnel there was a flash of light and the robots were blasted away and Asuna ended up flying into the arms of Takamichi making the poor half stripped girl blush. "Takahata-sensei" she cried seeing the bearded face of her teacher "Are you alright Asuna-kun?" he asked smiling "Awawaw look at my clothes she panicked.
At another section of the underground Satsuki somehow with her food trolley ended up finding Misora and Cocone bowing to her 'My clothes…panties-ughhh, I'm done with robots' she thought tiredly.
While on the outside Mana turned away from sister Shakti "Seems like the final match is over" said Mana "Hmm why are you lowering your guns?" asked Shakti. "My client's instruction was during the tournament do not let anyone without a ticket enter the grounds…you see, you can go through now. Now if you'll excuse me sister Shakti" said Mana jumping away from the roof.
"Ah wait right there…" she called after before sighing 'I was completely toyed with…such skill at that age…plus that gun those bullets seemed to track me' she said impressed with the gunslingers abilities.
Takahata-sensei I am very sorry" apologised Takane now covered in a cloak as was Mei Cocone, Misora and Asuna, "See I told you we didn't have to help him" said a happy Misora. "Um sensei I'm really sorry we ended up getting save by you instead…" said Asuna a little disappointed with herself "No thank you Asuna-kun, were you hurt anywhere? He asked before adding "Besides I was saved but by a strange dark haired bespectacled man with a staff" he said confusing them.
The group walked through a room full of computers "Hmm as I thought Chao-kun is already gone…" commented Takamichi "More importantly sensei I have been contacted by my real form about something big happening at the match" informed chibi Setsuna "What?" he asked confused as they walked out to catch Kazumi reaching ten at the countdown of the match and seeing Negi next to Nagi.

Time is up Negi" said Nagi "Is your hand alright? Does it hurt?" he asked seeing the bleeding arm "Eh yes it'll be fine " he replied "Get Al to take care of that later " he told him. "Hmm the fact that I'm standing here talking to you like this means that I'm dead I guess…" he hypothesised.
"Sorry for not being able to do anything for you" Negi suddenly had a flashback to that snowy night "I don't have the right to tell you something like this bit…grow up cheerfully, bye now" Negi then chose to shout "Wait ad, please wait, there are still things I want to say…dad is…dad is not dead. You're alive on that snowy day 6 years ago you came to save me…" he said as Nagi looked confused.
"Oi Nagi" shouted the voice of Eva as Nagi looked over Eva walking toward him with Naruto at her side. "Ohh what's the meaning of this development? Contestant McDowell and Naruto who lost in previous round are entering the stage…" said Kazumi muttering about an interview later after the ceremony.
"Master…Naruto-nii…?" said a confused Negi as Nagi looked more confused "Negi just be quiet for a moment" said Naruto "Wait I don't remember having another son, did I get cheated on" he asked shocked. "You really are an idiot aren't you, Naruto is a brother figure to the boya. You on the other had are in big trouble for not coming back to remove this curse from me, but that's irrelevant now though" said Eva.
"Curse…ahh the curse! That's…I was really concerned about that you know? Didn't I remove it from you?" he questioned himself "No you didn't I did Nagi" said Naruto walking toward him. "Okay really who are you?" asked Nagi as Naruto smirked "No time I'm afraid only enough time for…" in a blink of an eye Naruto had kneed Nagi in his gentleman's region hard making him squeak in pain "…This, and that was for not keeping your promise to Eva-chan and payback for what you left Negi, but now all is forgiven" he smiled walking back to Eva's side.
"I don't think I deserved a hit there though" he groaned getting back to his feet "But doing that didn't matter really since I'm an illusion" he said as he lit up. "I don't care I'm glad he did it, besides Naruto keeps his promises which is why I can let you go now" said Eva surprising Nagi "I see…don't lose him then those guys are one in a million."
But Negi…you should stop chasing after me and just and just be yourself like that cooled white haired guy is there you'll go far in life" he said to Negi with a sparkling smile "See you later" he said as the light erupted with Negi only hearing "And don't cry so much" as his form faded back to that of Ku:Nel's.
Negi stood in the middle of the stage doing his best not to cry as Naruto walked over and put his hand on his shoulder "Good work Negi, I'm proud of what you've done today" he said smiling which the boy looked thankful for as he hugged his brother the crowd were inn tears seeing this lovely family moment. "Asakura" said Chao appearing next to the girl shocking her "Whoa, Choa-rin since when? Yes, yes the award ceremony. Now then everybody we will now proceed onto the award ceremony…"
Chao took to the mike "…Etc as stated above no matter which match you look at thet were all the most incredible matches-ne. the skills of the winner are truly the school's strongest…no it wouldn't be an exaggeration to even call him the world's strongest…except Naruto-kun" she whispered the last part to herself. "As the current tournament sponsor it was an incredibly satisfying experience for me-yo. Furthermore although it seems that due to such high levels…or perhaps because of the unrealistic match contents there were some who believed that this was a fake performance done by the tournament officials."
She smirked at the crowd as they murmured to themselves on that subject "I will leave the decision of the authenticity to everyone-ne. to all the contestants and everyone in the audience thank you, let us meet at another time!" she said as Kazumi took back the mike. On the stage there was a stand for third (Setsuna and Naruto) second (Negi) and First (Ku:Nel).
"Now then the main tournament sponsor Chao Lingshen will personally hand over the victory prize money of 10 million yen to the victor contestant Ku:Nel Sanders" she said as various reporters came onto the stage asking Ku:Nel various questions like if her really was Negi's father. "Excuse me I'm not good with interviews (Lie)" he said before vanishing.
"Ah he vanished quick get the child teacher or his hot brother" said a female reporter "Geh I knew it, Negi-kun, Naruto-kun go on ahead you want tome time alone right?" Naruto smirked pecking her on the cheek "Thanks Kazumi-chan" he said vanishing in a puff of smoke while Negi made his get away via jumping very far.

"Huhu this tournament seems to have been beneficial beyond expectations for Negi-sensei-ne and Naruto-kun. That's great, that's great" said Chao happily wandering the corridor "Stop right there Chao-kun" said the voice of Takahata as he and the other magical teachers surrounded her.
"Yaa Takahata-sensei what do we have here? Everyone's here as well…thank you all for your hard work-ne" she smirked "We're going to gave you come to the staff room with us Chao-kun, there is a few things we want to ask you about" he said calmly.
"What crime did I commit" she asked as he laughed "you didn't commit any crimes we just want to ask you some questions" he said "Takahata-sensei what are you talking about? This child is not just a student requiring special attention, she's dangerous!" said an alarmed Gandolfini. "To expose the existence of mages…that is an outrageous thing to do" he said trying to make a point as Chao just giggled.
"Huhu…throughout history and around the world even in children's novels and comics…there are quite a number of stories where mages would keep their existence a secret to the world-ne, why is that I wonder?" she closed her eyes for a moment in thought. "Let me ask you all a question instead. Why are you all hiding the existence of mages fro the world? For example take what we saw in this tournament, if the existence of individuals with such amazing powers were kept secret wouldn't it be dangerous to human society?" she questioned with a small smirk.
"Wha…you're getting it all backwards. We're protecting the secret to avoid needless misunderstanding and confusion, so that we can coexist with everyone else in modern society in harmony. Besides the only one dangerous to human society is your partner Naruto, only he has the power that could a problem in the future" said Gandolfini not realizing the weight of his words.
He quickly sweated in slight fear as he found a dragon made of fire by his throat "Now I can deal with some things being said but Never imply that Naruto is a problem for something that is out of his control. Before I do anything rash I'm taking my leave" said Chao revealing her hands which in her right was one of her tonfa and the other held a time piece similar to the one Negi had "Till we meet again on the third day gentlemen" she said as she disappeared.
"S…she disappeared?" said a confused Gandolfini as he was punched in the face by Takamichi "I agree with Chao-kun over the subject of Naruto so please never make that suggestion again, understand" he said looking disappointed with his colleague.

"To everyone in the audience thank you for your patronage. Please be careful on your way out" announced Kazumi as the audience began leaving the shrine. Negi meanwhile floated above on his staff "That sure was a hectic tournament, it was only for a few hours yet so many things happened. The rest of the Mahora festival is still going on full steam like always he observed.
"Mind if I cruise with you Negi" said Naruto as he floated next to him "Naruto-nii, yeah it's fine" he said his eyes staring off into the distance "Still thinking about your dad?" he asked his little brother. "Yes although that dad was from 10 years ago he was really young" he said as the two of them floated over to the bridge and dropped down.
"Naruto-nii what did he mean when he said I should be myself and stop chasing him. I don't understand without that….I-I-I don't have any…"he said distressed "Even though you got to meet the father of your wishes you sure look depressed do you not Negi-kun? And hello Naruto good to see you well and rested, I swear your partners healing abilities rival my own" he chuckled.
"Ah Al-sa…no Ku:Nel-san" said Negi seeing his father's friend "Are you alright Negi-kun?" Ku:Nel asked "No I'm fine. I was really happy, really thank you very much Ku:Nel-san for a lot of things I um…I…uh" he stuttered at Ku:Nel/Al took off his hood revealing a rather handsome face.
"His dad's words are confusing him a little Ku:Nel that's all" explained Naruto as his friend nodded "Hmm makes sense but that would on your arm Negi-kun, shall I treat it for you?" Ku:Nel asked "Eh..ah no this is…" he said trying to wave him off "Unlike the one on your cheek this one's quite deep. With only your first aid it's possible a scar will be left behind you know?" he informed.
"Umm…if it leaves a scar then let it…because that's uh…" the two men chuckled at his response "Is that so…?" said Ku:Nel 'He wants to keep the scar from his father a little twisted really…I like it. What do you think Naruto?' asked Ku:Nel telepathically 'I'd o the same, a reminder of your mistakes and how far you have to go seems perfectly natural to me really' he replied.
"Um…there are some things I would like to ask Ku:Nel-san" Negi asked the man "Let's save that for another time, I would like to look around the school festival after all" he told him. "Negi why don't we let him, besides I think we are just in time for the outdoor tea ceremony remember" said Naruto as Negi smiled "Outdoor tea ceremony is it? How nice, have fun you two and see you both soon Negi-kun, Naruto" he said vanishing.
Naruto-nii…?" said Negi "Yes" he replied "Ku:Nel-san is kind of a wired person isn't he?" he asked as the white haired teen laughed "He is indeed Negi, but the same can be said of all of his friends from the little he's told me" he said before ushering him to follow "Come on Negi you don't want to be late."

"Waa incredible, a Japanese garden" said an amazed Negi looking around the tranquile setting for the ceremony, which had a small pond and bridge over it. "Ah Naruto, Negi-sensei" greeted Chachamaru in her kimono "Hey Cha-chan" Naruto waved as the robot came over "Are yours and Negi-sensei's wounds okay and thank you for coming" she asked "We're fine Cha-chan and thanks for all of this since you always work hard at…"
He was cut off by calls of "Naruto/Negi-kun" by the girls as both boys were tackled by the girls of 3-A all checking if they were okay and complimenting how cool their moves were. "Negi-kun there's something we want to ask" said Madoka "The story about your dad was the story true abut your dad being missing?" Naruto seeing this took over.
"Girls please let us breath and yes Negi's story is true and that man before had been left a message by his dad a few years ago, he's also a very good impersonator" he said making the girls go 'O' understanding and Naruto slightly surprised they bought it after what he had done. "Wow Negi-kun has had a tough life. And even now you don't know where you dad is" said Makie slightly in tears.
"Naruto-kun how come there isn't anything on you in the information?" asked Yuuna as he smiled softly "There's not much interesting in my past trust me, just an orphan you grew up to be me" he said as Ayaka looked at her brother a little sadly knowing that was further from the truth.
"Oh okay…Let's drink" she cheered with the others agreeing "We managed to get second and third place with our senseis so lets celebrate it. And we can also double it as a Negi-kun support party and have a blast" cheered Misa.
"Naruto, Negi-sensei it's about time" said Chachamaru getting their attention "Yes thanks Cha-chan. Girls I don't think you should be drinking at this hour but instead why don't we all join in the outdoor tea ceremony" suggested Naruto facing the others which they agreed to all wanting to try on a kimono.
XBreakX
"Thanks for helping me with this Cha-chan been some time since I wore a kimono" Naruto said as he took off his shirt while Chachamaru was helping to dress him. "Is that so…you're welcome. You were wonderful before in the battle tournament, your abilities clearly outmatch me and equal masters really. And Negi-sensei could beat my in a physical battle now" she said slightly staring at the stars on his body.
Her hands traced the mark by his heart "Naruto…this wound…does it ever hurt?" she asked as he put his hand on hers with a look of remembrance "No…but it is a reminder though, just like Negi's wound on his face and arm really" he said as she blushed at the closeness to a half naked Naruto. "Naruto…are…" she was interrupted "Hey Chachamaru-san are you there? There are still things I want to ask you abo-" Chisame opened the door as Chachamaru was putting the kimono shirt on Naruto.
The two blinked at Chisame currently wearing cat ears before she slammed the door closed "Excuse me" she said as Chachamaru realized how it looked and ran out to her. "Um Chisame-san, have you made a serious misunderstanding of some kind" she called to the girl walking away "I'm not misunderstanding whatever, just stop following me" she said back a Naruto walked out adjusting his kimono.
"Chisame-chan won't you stay for the outdoor tea ceremony?" asked Naruto Shundo-ing in front of her ""Don't follow and how come your so fast?" she said annoyed as he blocked off her escape "Ninja" he said smirking making her huff.
"Ah Negi-kun, Naruto-kun" said Makie as she and Yuuna spotted the two boys with Chachamaru and Chisame following behind 'Damn it how did he talk me into this…still he looks nice' Chisame thought seeing as Naruto hair blow in the wind and wearing a leaf theme kimono.
"Tadaa how do we look?" asked Yuuna as she, Makie, Fuka, Fumika, Ako, Akira, Misa, Sakurako, Madoka and Ayaka all stood in formal kimonos. "Everyone is very pretty" Negi clapped his hands seeing them all "Your right they all look like graceful beauties with there kimonos" added Naruto making several of them blush "You too Chisame-chan, for a modern girl you look pretty in old style clothing" he said making her go redder.
"Cha-chan shall we start the ceremony?" he asked t the girl who nodded "Yes over here but please remain quiet everyone" she informed the others as they sat down and she handed Naruto the tea. He brought it to his mouth taking a small sniff before drinking looking very peaceful as he did so the girls looked in awe seeing him.
They stared at the enigma of their teacher and while they were curious over Negi and his father they were more curious about Naruto and his past still, while they watched how peaceful he looked. ""IT was very delicious as always Cha-chan" he said as she bowed slightly "Thank you very much" she replied with a smile.
"Wow…Naruto-kun looks so handsome like that" whispered Sakurako "Yeah but I still wonder what his life was like for him to be like this, I mean he said he was an orphan but what else do we really know" said Madoka added her own thoughts. "I know, however I'm glad he's around our age. Charming, handsome, kind, considerate and protective he fill all the criteria for a perfect boyfriend really" said Misa getting thoughtful looks from a lot of them imagining.
"He doesn't even need to be raised up like Negi would if we wanted to date him, he's a readily made man. Plus I heard a rumour that Naruto wants a big family" she said making the girls go red at the thought of making a family with him. "Yeah…he seems like he's be a good father, Chizu-nee told me that he helps out at day-care and the kids love him" said Ayeka as she handed her cup to Negi to drink.
The girls eyed glazed over imagining tiny boys and girls with his or their hairstyles "Naruto-kun would you like some more tea" asked Sakurako smiling "Yes I would Sakurako-chan" he said accepting the cup. The other girl's jaws dropped seeing her before heading forward themselves and Negi silently thanking his lucky stars he wasn't too popular as he watched his brother accept all the tea happily.
"Girls calm down, I'm not going anywhere okay" he said chuckling at how forward they were being "Well we just want to congratulate you Naruto-kun, after all when you fought that Ku:Nel dude we really thought you were hurt" said Yuuna next to him "Not to mention that lots of people are gonna try and fid out things about you" assed Misa on his other side.
"They'll have to try really hard to find things about me, Negi will probably get a few more due to the situation with his dad" he said as Chisame came over "Naruto…you said that you were an orphan but did you ever fin out who your parents were?" asked Chisame a little hesitant. He smiled softly reaching into his kimono sleeve and unsealing something he always kept on him "Here, the only picture I have" he said handing her a small frame with had a picture of Minato and Kushina smiling together.
Minato was wearing a navy blue shirt and his arm over Kushina's shoulder while she wore an orange shirt and a black dress over it, sitting down on a chair. Chisame went wide eyed seeing how Naruto's parents looked but also confused over his hair seeing her question "My hair used to be like my dads but my mom had a condition that causes it to lose colour, just happened earlier for me as I grew it out" he explained.
Chisame passed the photo round and everyone smiled at the happy scene of the picture while Ayaka and Negi were giving a conversation. "So how are you Negi-sensei now after meeting your father?" she asked giving him another cup "You didn't manage to get any clues on him did you?" he shook his head "No but it's a problem that I will solve eventually" he said as she put her hand on his cheek.
"Just don't forget that I and the others are behind you all the way Negi-sensei, we will always be ready to help you find him" she smiled as did he with a small blush "Thank you Ayaka-san, thank you very much" he said as she resisted to glomp the boy seeing that smile.
The picture made it back to Naruto who smiled at it before putting it away "I actually hope to take a picture like that someday with my new family" he said as the girls eyes glazed over in their imaginations again. "Wow Naruto-kun, your parents look so cool, must be where you get it from" said Misa as he smirked "Maybe…"
However the moment was broken from cries of the media "Geh the media, they really came" said Yuuna in shock "Negi-kun, Naruto-kun run away we'll hold them back" the two nodded as Naruto and Negi set off as the girls held off the media by offering them tea forming a small wall.
"Naruto, Negi-sensei" called Chachamaru "Please come here quickly" said Chisame next to her.
XBreakX
"Thank you very much Chisame-san, Chachamaru-san" thanked Negi as he, Naruto and the girls were now in regular clothes. Negi seemed to be staring off still "Is there something wrong?" asked Chachamaru "Eh no…it's just…I've been think the wrong way" said Negi "Out of the blue even though he wasn't truly the real thing, I met my dad and I was convinced that the only thing I could do was to chase after him" he told them.
"Everybody was so thoughtful to me and yet I was only able to think about myself again" he said a little sadly 'Hmm…guess I'll have to knock some sense into him again' thought Naruto seeing Negi's depressed tone. "I have everybody with me and also my job as a teacher. I'll work hard at my teacher job too and become a magister magi, that's what I have decide. Not just simply becoming strong…and on top of that I'll still be chasing after you dad" he said looking up.
Negi felt his brothers hand on his shoulder "Negi, as long as it's your path and you keep everyone beside you, you'll find him okay" said Naruto as Negi nodded. Chachamaru smiled a little seeing the interaction "Hmm…you look awfully happy somehow" commented Chisame seeing Chachamaru "Eh, no I'm just glad to see Naruto take care of his brother" she said to the net idol.
"You two want to go have a look around together?" asked Naruto as both nodded following him and Negi.

In an outside café Chisame and Chachamaru were silently sipping their tea "Um/Um" they both said at the same time breaking the silence ass Naruto had been tasked getting drinks for him and Negi while the other was trying to find the bathroom.
"G-go ahead Chisame-san" said Chachamaru "No it aint nothing bug you go first" Chisame insisted "No Chisame-san goes ahead first" said Chachamaru bluntly. "…are you really a robot? Mainly isn't it impossible at the current technology level to get to the level of completion like you?" she asked "No…I am a genuine robot…more accurately I would be called a gynoid. As for the technology level…that's because my creators are geniuses" she explained.
'Oh dear magic and robots? I ain't following this' she thought "Hmm…well I never talked with you much to begin with and I'm not especially interested in anything but…" she said scratching he head "Are you close to Naruto?" she asked the gynoid.
"Close…is it? I wonder.. if that is a question referring to whether the relationship between two individuals is satisfactory or not. Then as I have often been Naruto, partner on some nights and that he clearly enjoys our time together. I would say that our relationship is satisfactory" she said making Chisame topple the table over and fall from her chair in shock of the statement.
"Wai..what…partner?" she said red faced like her hair, her tea trickling down her head "Yes we have practiced in combat from time to time and he also helps me take care of Yurine" she said plainly still in her seat. "Um…could it be that you have made some kind of serious misunderstanding again?" she asked seeing Chisame's reaction "No not really" she said trying to save face.
Chachamaru tilted her head "Um speaking about that Chisame-san too seems to be very close with Negi-sensei as well" she said making her fall from her seat again "W-W-W-Whom did you say I was close with whom…?" she asked not expecting the question white eyed and red faced. "What are you walking abut?" said Naruto walking behind her as did Negi "Uwaa I-I-It ain't nothing… I mean it's nothing" she said shocked.
"Sorry it took us so long, the line was pretty long and Negi had a fair bit to walk, everything okay here?" both gave a quick nod "I hope Ayaka-san and the others are alright helping us get away" said a concerned Negi. "I think they went back to the classroom, since it seems like they skipped their shift at the horror house to come here and see your matches" said Chisame "Oh yeah I left a clone with Zazie-chan just in case she needed help" he said remembering.
"Negi-sensei is it alright us being together with you and your brother. I mean uh…ah…since a lot of things happened during the tournament…don't you want to be left alone with your brother. Even the outdoor tea ceremony ended up rowdy too" asked Chisame as Negi just smiled fakely "Ah no I'm alright thank you very much Chisame-san"
Both Chisame and Naruto sighed before smacking him over the head surprising Chachamaru "Negi I've told you never to fake smile, and well done for seeing it too Chisame-chan" said Naruto crossing his arms "He's right a brat shouldn't be faking smiles it's disgusting" she said with a small blush from the praise. "Negi-sensei, that man in the finals…that was your real old man right? I could tell from looking at your reactions" she asked him.
"Chisame-san…" said a bewildered Negi not expecting her to take note of it "I don't know what mechanisms were involved but that man was your father's illusion, that was magic right?" she asked casing the boy to panic and Naruto to raise a brow. "I don't want to here excuses. Didn't you say something like magister magi earlier yourself? I checked it out and magister means master in Latin and magi means mage. If you wanted to keep it a secret you should've been more careful you know sensei?" she said pointing to the translation on her notebook.
"Negi-sensei, Naruto…you're mages aren't you?" she asked not believing she was asking this Negi was tongue tied "Yes we are, Chisame-chan I'm not surprised you figured it out really" said Naruto smiling as Negi stared at him "Naruto-nii you can't just leak out that info like that, I don't want to be turned into an ermine" Negi whined as Naruto ruffled his hair ignoring that.
"Well in any case you reunited with your father which ha been your goal. It should have been a very important event for you, so you should think about it carefully by yourself. For now there's no need for you to stick around just because you want to keep your students happy" she said turning to leave "Chisame-san wait" called Negi.
"T…Thank you very much Chisame-san, but…but I'm really alright now. Thanks to everyone I feel a little relieved" he said earning him another smack from her and Naruto "There ain't no way you can be relieved so easily. To feel relieved or to feel like you understand is usually your own misunderstanding, so be careful brat. Since humans aren't something that can easily be changed so easily. If you have a huge problem, don't relieve yourself of it. Hold it against your chest and march on…that's all" she said to him.
Naruto chuckled at her ideology seeing Negi's shocked expression but on some level agreed as some things when you keep hold of them can remind you what is important in life. His own fear of loneliness at a young age made him strive to get better so he could make one on his own and take care of it.
"Anyway if you'll excuse me now" she said walking away as other voices shouted "Oh he's over here, contestants Negi and Naruto we found them" said members of the media "Damn it they found us" he said grabbing Chisame and putting her in his arms "Negi, Cha-chan we need to move" he said as Chisame struggled a little "Let me down now!" she demanded blushing at how close she was to him now trying not to snuggle to his chest, a battle she was quickly losing.
They all jumped from the balcony to the floor 'We jumped…is this how we ended up on the roof before?' thought Chisame clutching to Naruto's shirt making sure she didn't fall. However as they dropped down Negi and Naruto were swamped by fans of media and were forced to run away again luckily Naruto also had a supply of smoke bombs on hand for quick getaways.

"Ha…ha…didn't expect it to become such a huge topic, there's nowhere left in the school grounds for us to go" said Negi panting as they approached the Ferris wheel. "A-Anyway we should ride on that thing and get some rest?" he suggested "Yeah I they won't be able to chase all the way up there" commented Naruto.
As they all climbed onto the ride they sat down releasing a breath of relief "Phew we can finally catch our breath now" said Negi "Yes" Chachamaru confirmed while realizing she'd been dragged along Chisame thought 'A why did I stick together with these three? I have nothing to do with this'. Chachamaru was sat next to Naruto as was Chisame while Negi sat on the other side.
"Um…Chisame-san, uh…a-about the magic thing…" Negi started sweating in slight fear "Hmm, ah I won't tell anyone about it, please don't worry" she said simply "Not to mention people might think you were mad huh Chisame-chan" added Naruto "That too" she accepted. "Is that so…that's great" said Negi sighing in relief not really paying attention to what his brother had added.
"I'm sorry…and about the meaning of what Chisame-san said earlier…I mean you said if it's a huge problem don't relieve yourself of it earlier?" Negi questioned "Ahh I didn't mean anything big by it. I simply meant to say that if it's a big problem for sensei, there no rush for an answer that's all" she said noticing Naruto's head drooping.
"I see… you're right, as expected of Chui-san but right now I feel a little dizzy" he said his head falling only to the side only to be caught by a pillow Naruto had unsealed. "Little gut must be tuckered out fro all the fighting. Then again…I feel a little-" Naruto himself felt faint and leaned his head on Chachamaru's shoulder much to her shock.
"Chachamaru-san is Naruto okay?" asked Chisame slightly worried "I believe that Naruto's fight with Ku:Nel-san took more out of him than he expected even if he was fully healed. Also his matches were quite a display if I recall, my scans show he's just a little fatigued so I think we should let him and Negi-sensei rest" she explained.
Chachamaru moved Naruto's head so that it rested on her lap and evidently Naruto's ears and tail popped out too "Wow those were real" Chisame exclaimed remembering the first time seeing the appendages on Naruto when he discovered her status as a net idol.
"Yes, Naruto has ha them since I first met him but he hides them so people do not freak out as it were. In actuality he has ten tails that he combines into one alongside him able to take on the form of a wolf" she elaborated as Chisame stroked the tail in front of her.
"So soft…" she mumbled as Chachamaru stroked his hair and ears "Naruto is always so busy, and hard working, I think it's best we let him rest for a moment" said Chachamaru with a content smile making Chisame look on wondering what it would be like to have his head in her lap. "You sure look strangely happy again somehow" she said with a slight smirk "Eh no that's not…" she stuttered as Naruto unconsciously moved his head to nuzzle her hand "He looks like he feels very safe in you lap if he's doing that" she commented still stroking the tail.
"J-Just exactly what do you mean by tha…" she was interrupted "And I got a question. How many people in our class know about these two being mages?" she questioned finding it cute as Naruto seemed to purr in his sleep. "Eh…the number of people? To my knowledge around 17-18 people I believe, among the 5 have a provisional contract with Negi-sensei and 5 have a contract with Naruto" she told her "Isn't that more than half the class…" she exclaimed wondering how she had only just found out really.
'Are you serious…I wanna Tsukkomi' she thought not believing the number of people "And so are all of them helping Naruto and Negi in some way or another?" she asked the robot. "I wonder about that. Even though they say they'll cooperate, there isn't even a single clues as of now…it's believed that most of them have no such interests" pondered Chachamaru "What about you?" asked Chisame "I am currently…in a delicate situation. Has Chisame-san also been cooperating with sensei and Naruto?" she asked back.
"Ha no way. I hate those everybody-get-along kind of cooperations. I makes me sick…" she scoffed "Hmm just now you said contracts right/ what's that about" she inquired. "That…would be this" said Chachamaru taking the pactios from Naruto's pocket revealing four of the five cards "Though a contract with a mage, it is possible to obtain a powerful magic item. And you will be able to support the mage as a partner, I believe the clone Naruto told us about has the other card" she explained.
"Who are the contracts with?" she questioned curious "Naba, Tatsumiya, Rainyday, Chao-san and Nagase, while sensei has contracted with Kagurazaka, Konoe, Sakurazaki, Miyazaki and Yukihiro. The contract is established through a kiss" she told her "Hmm a kiss, huh…KISS!" she exclaimed "Eh than all those people with sensei and Naruto?" she said surprised at the two boys.
"Yes and while sensei is only ten years old Naruto has seen that his partners are well prepared just in case which is why he trained them in the field of magic and combat" Chachamaru informed her "Really even Chizuru has been trained too" she nodded. "Yes in the field of healing magic. Most of the contracts were formed for sensei in life threatening emergency situations as well, where as Naruto's were mainly due to the game I was told about in Kyoto. Nevertheless he took responsibility for all of them"
"Life…you mean that life?" she asked checking she heard right "Existance, life the thing that disappears when you die" she said as if reading from the dictionary. "Were they doing things that dangerous?" asked a shocked Chisame "Becoming involved with magic also means becoming somewhat involved with the inner world as well. That was the reason Naruto made sure all his partners were trained, so they could protect themselves from dangers" Chachamaru told her thinking how Naruto always made sure his partners and friends stayed safe as she ran her hands through his long hair.
'Sensei…Naruto…you two really have something if you work so hard…is meeting his dad that much to him…?' she thought before looking at Chachamaru's eyes "I've changed my mind, I guess I'll help out these two as well. I think I'll form one of those contracts right now" she said surprising Chachamaru.
"Chisame-san t-t-t-that's…you're going to kiss Naruto now" she said shocked at how easily she said it "It's easy with him asleep right now, plus I'm kind of interested in that powerful magical item thing. Well though I'm not obligated to cooperate with Naruto or anything, it'll be interesting to fight with you Chachamaru-san" she smirked looking to the shocked expressioned robot, both sitting in silence for a moment.
"Pff…hahaha I'm kidding, there's no way I would do something that troublesome" she giggled waving off her previous statement as the robot began shaking "C-Chisame-san…could it be that Chisame-san likes Naruto?" she asked a little apprehensively. "How did you get there? O said I was kidding, kidding I just wanted to tease you but…" she shouted defensively as Naruto and Negi stirred.
"Huh what's…happen-" he mumbled "I'm an average normal person. I have no intentions to associate myself with freaky wierdos like you people" she said loudly before noticing something in the window "Crud, look down, it's a mountain of reporters. Our cover's blown, guwa…if we get off now, our entire say might end up getting crushed by that mob" she said worriedly as Negi whined seeing this. "Thinking about it now, the Ferris wheel was a mouse trap wasn't it?" said Chachamaru "Maybe a little" commented Naruto hiding his ears and tail getting a slight whine from the two girls an rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"C-Chisame-san's the one who told is to get on. What do we do now?" said Negi in worry "How am I supposed to know? If you two are ages or whatever then hurry up and do something about this" she exclaimed not likeing having the blame put on her. "I'm not sure magic will help us out here much, Chisame-chan" said Naruto "Shall I blow them away with my beam" suggested Chachamaru "No I think I have an idea.

"Contestant, Negi…contestant Naruto which of these girls are your girlfriends" asked the reporters waiting at the door as they opened revealing the two girls and the older looking Naruto and Negi "Is something the matter" asked Naruto in a voice that had many a female blushing.
"Ah no sire I think we just got the wrong person" said one female reporter "Oi what's going on here? They should have been riding on this for sure" said another reporter confused as the four tried to sneak away. "They're not in the next one either" exclaimed one reporter "Hey wait those guys just now. Didn't they look a little like contestant Negi and Naruto?" they suggested and hearing this the four decided to run. "Ah they're running away, suspicious" called one "After them" they cried as the four quickly were lost to them.
Eventually they all stopped by an entrance to the river ducts "Phew looks like we lost them" said Negi rubbing his head "It appears we have misled them well" commented Chachamaru. "So that's magic…even after seeing it with my own eyes I still don't believe it" said Chisame "Yes the red one turns you into an adult and the blue one will turn you into a child" explained Negi holding the bottle of pills.
'Meomo-chan? Is that Meru0-chan? Where did you get those clothes from too' she wondered "Does Chisame-can want to try one too?" asked Negi. "Who the hell would try out a weird drug like that…" she said angrily "Its safety is guaranteed, please go ahead" said Chachamaru launching a blue on into her open mouth which she swallowed in shock.
In a puff of smoke stood a much younger Chisame her clothes fall off due to her shrinkage "It suit's you perfectly very cut-UGH" Chachamaru was cut off via a punch by the tiny Chisame "What the hell were you doing? You dumbass robot" shouted the chibi Chisame. Naruto shrugged off his jacket and put it round her "Chisame-chan don't worry the effects are temporary, now let's go get some clothes for you" he said.
'Can't believe this has happened, I stay around these guys for five minutes and already my life has gone crazy and it'll only get worse if I stay' she thought embarrassed by what she had been reduced to. "So Negi you doing okay?" asked Naruto "Eh what do you mean Naruto-nii?" he said confused "I mean are you okay not having a little alone time to go over these thoughts about your dad?" he questioned and Chisame agreeing with the question.
"Yes I'm fine, for real this time, Chisame-san advice was a great help. I'm sure I can manage, plus is I take the time off to be alone right now the school festival will be over" he told them.
