Ashikabi no Naruto 4

AN/: As always, I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed for their support. It's nice to see this story receiving so much support. Many people have different opinions on who Naruto's Sekerei should be but it seems generally agreed upon that he should not have many. I've more or less decided in my mind who I'm going to add at this point. A lot of you guys had many good ideas, some of which I might implement into the story. This chapter will focus a bit less on Naruto life and more on plot advancement so I apologize to everyone (myself included :p ) who was looking for cute lovey-dovey moments… as I write it ill see what I can squeeze in without making it look forced :p

•••••

Naruto sighed as he walked out of his classroom. Classes had always been rather boring for him before this point but now they seemed downright useless. He was almost considering just sending a clone. The only reason he didn't was that he couldn't exactly explain it if he suddenly vanished in a puff of smoke.

As Naruto approached the gate he saw a strange sight. There were three rather expensive looking black cars parked in front of the school gate. It was strange as he had never seen them around ever before over the last two years at the school. He was pretty sure he would have noticed such a big procession had it been around before.

Outside the cars stood four people. One was a male in a formal business suit. He had soft features complimented by his brown hair and black eyes. Around him were three women. Even as he saw them he almost cursed out loud! They were obviously Sekerei! One of them had disheveled Gary hair and a bored look in her eyes. The youngest looking one had pink hair quite similar to Sakura's. But the one that caught his attention was the third. The older woman silvery Grey hair held back in a ponytail along with similarly tinted grey eyes. What caught his attention most was the feeling of bloodlust had. It was quite intense. If anything it reminded him of his first encounter with the Snake Sannin, Orochimaru. As if sensing his thoughts the woman smirked at him.

The brown haired man apparently spotted him as well as he approached him and said with a slight bow, " Excuse our intrusion Naruto-San, my name is Natsuo Ichinomi. May we please have a word."

People were pointing and whispering around him. No doubt ridiculous rumors would be flying around later. Naruto glanced back at the three Sekerei behind him. The silver one smirked again and lightly rested her hand on the grip of her blade. The message was loud and clear, comply or force may be used. Of course unlike normal people, Naruto happened to have more options available. He could always fight his way out of the situation but that led to many other problems. And of course he could always call their bluff. He highly doubted they would actually start a fight in front of so many witnesses. Of course he supposed they were expecting him to be a reclusive high school student. But this presented him an opportunity of sorts. Judging from the woman's uniform they were obviously the ' Disciplinary Squad' Kazehana mentioned. That meant M.B.I needed him for something. This could be the perfect chance to get information of some sort out of this man and maybe even his Sekerei.

Naruto smiled tightly at the man and said, " Please lead the way."

The man just smiled and glanced at his Sekerei. The pink one quickly moved and opened a door. The man turned to Naruto and said, " Please after you."

Naruto just nodded stiffly and got in. Only the older woman with silver hair got into the car with Naruto and Natsuo. Once they were moving Naruto sighed and said, " So… why is the famed Disciplinary Squad looking for me? I'm just a high school student aren't I?"

The man's smile still did not leave his face as said, " Ah, Minaka-Sama was rather insistent on his wish to meeting you. I do not know why though."

Naruto's frown deepened as he contemplated this. This could only be a bad thing. Had they already discovered the truth about him? Did Minaka want to try and experiment on him like he did on the Sekerei?

Deciding he couldn't do much about it now he turned back to Natsuo and said, " So Natsuo-San, what do you do at M.B.I?"

The man STILL kept smiling and said, " Ah I'm Minaka-Sama's personal assistant."

Naruto smiled back and said, " You must be a very important figure in M.B.I then."

The man just shook his head and said, " Oh no no, I'm just an assistant. I don't even get payed much. More often then not Minaka-Sama has me working on small things or with the Disciplinary Squad. "

Naruto eventually peaked out of the car and said, " So how long will this take. Kazehana will get mad at me if I'm late."

The silver hair woman chuckled and said, " Oh… so you're Kazehana's Ashikabi. I'd heard she had been winged recently… how interesting. How is she doing… it's has been so long since I last saw her."

Naruto turned to her and said, " How do you know Kazehana?"

She smirked at him in a rather infuriating manner and said, " Ah of course I would know Kazehana. I was on the First Disciplinary Squad with her after all."

Naruto smiled at the woman pretending he didn't even notice her smirk and said, " I'll be sure to pass along the message."

Natsuo smiled and said, " Ah so you are the Ashikabi of No.03. I think I may have a clue of what Minaka-Sama wants with you in that case. Don't worry it probably won't take long in that case."

Naruto turned to him again and said, " What could he possibly want with me?"

Natsuo just smiled and said, " It is just a guess but I would imagine he would want to welcome you to the Sekerei plan."

Naruto stared at him for a few moments before he said, " He called me all the way to his office just for that? Wouldn't there be a better way to do this?"

Natsuo replied, " Ah I'm not aware of the details but he seemed to be unable to get in contact with you."

Naruto frowned. That sounded like a rather weak excuse. Why call him all the way to his office then. He could just have Natsuo inform him and leave. Naruto couldn't help but feel a bit tense as they finally reached M.B.I tower.

Natsuo stopped to converse with one of the attendant on the table and eventually lead him to an elevator. They took directly to the topmost floor. Surprisingly instead of an office they actually turned up on the roof of the building. There was a lone man on the roof. He had spiky white hair a bit like Kakashi's and wore rather odd clothing topped of by a white cape. He had rather large glasses as well.

The man turned towards him and said, " Ah it is you Naruto-Kun! You know you're quite hard to get ahold off! Don't you ever answer your phone!"

Naruto blinked. As he thought about it, where was his phone anyways? He had one but he never really used it since his parents died. In fact the last call he had gotten was from one of his relatives two weeks ago. He pulled it out and much to his shock he had 103 missed calls! And they were all from the same number! He then looked at the man and said apologetically, " Ah… I forgot to take it of silence… I presume these were from you…" Maybe he actually had a reason to send out someone to go bring him in… what an embarrassing turn of events.

The man pushed his glasses up and said over dramatically, " It matters not now! Congratulations on winging Sekerei No.03 Kazehana, the wind sekerei!"

Naruto still embarrassed just nodded and said, " Thanks… I guess."

The man nodded in a satisfactory manner to himself and said, " Now Naruto-Kun there are a few rules you must be made aware of about this game! First is that you may not tell anyone not involved with the Sekerei plan about it! If you do, the M.B.I will hunt you down with all its resources and we have quite a few! Second, you are not allowed to leave the vicinity of Tokyo! If you try to leave you will be hunted down and stopped by the Disciplinary Squad behind you. Failure to comply will also result in the deactivation of your Sekerei. That is all!"

Naruto waited a bit expecting the man to tell him more. After a few seconds of silence Naruto said, " That's it?… why even call me here then? Natsuo-San could have informed me of these rules as well…"

The man gasped in a scandalized fashion and said, " That is impossible! Only I, the game master can induct a new player into the game!"

Naruto frowned at the man's words but said nothing. He WAS surrounded technically. Before either of them could speak a hard wind started blowing. It picked up in intensity and a he heard a very familiar voice yell out loud, " Karasuba! What did you do to my Ashikabi! I promise if even a single hair on his head is harmed I'll kill you and level the entire building!"

The silver haired woman with the sword who was apparently named Karasuba chucked and said, " Ah I was wondering when she would get here."

As if on queue Kazehana landed on the roof glaring at the silver haired woman. She spotted Naruto and quickly ran over to him tackling him to the floor. She frantically looked him over and said, " Are you alright Naruto! Did they hurt you! If they did I'll kill all of them!"

Naruto swooned from the sudden impact to the ground and said, " Kazehana!… I'm alright!"

The pink haired girl glared at Kazehana and said, " Oay who do you think you are to threaten Karasuba-Sama and us! Do you want to die! We're the Disciplinary Squad!"

Kazehana glared at the girl apparently still mad at them for kidnapping him and said, " Shut up little girl or I'll really kill you. Haven't you housetrained these one's yet Karasuba. They have no respect for their seniors."

The pinkette and the other one growled and almost leapt at Kazehana only to be stopped by Karasuba. The pinkette turned to her apparent leader and said, " Why are you stopping us Karasuba-Sama! She just disrespected you and the entire squad!" The silver haired one nodded her head, agreeing with the pinkette.

Karasuba just sighed and said, " I don't really care if you both pick a fight with her but since you're on the Disciplinary Squad I'll warn you. Fight her as you are now and you'll both die…"

Kazehana smirked haughtily and said, " Hear that flat-chest. You should listen to Karasuba. If you attack me I won't forgive you for kidnapping Naruto."

Karasuba smirked and said, " I'd expect nothing less from a former member of the First Squad."

Her words made the other two gasped. The one with short silver hair looked over to Karasuba and said, " Then… she was once… just like Karasuba-Sama…"

Karasuba turned back to Kazehana and said, " I'll let you go today Kazehana because of our former acquaintance but if I ever meet you on the field again saying such things I won't hold back…"

Kazehana nodded stiffly and said, " Come on Naruto let's go." Before Naruto could actually get up or respond she actually picked him up and flew right of the building.

A tense silence still rested on the roof. It was broken by Minaka who started laughing loudly. He proclaimed, " Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! Uzumaki Naruto! You'll definitely make this game more interesting!"

•••••

Naruto looked up at Kazehana as she flew them away from the building and said, " You know this is actually pretty nice! We have to do it again!"

Kazehana much to his surprise glared at him and said, " Don't joke around! When I heard you got taken by Karasuba I thought you were dead!"

Naruto smiled reassuringly at her and said," But I'm alive right! Don't worry. I'm surprisingly tough to kill… how DID you find out anyways?"

Kazehana sighed and said, " One of my old friends happened to notice you getting into the car with the Disciplinary Squad and she called me. I came over as quickly as I could."

Naruto raised his hand and stroked her face gently and said, " Hey I'm sorry for worrying you. Is that Karasuba woman really that dangerous?"

Kazehana nodded seriously and said, " Yeah extremely. Amongst us Sekerei the Single digit Sekerei are considered to be noticeably stronger then those with double digits. And then even amongst the single digits those who were former members of the Disciplinary Squad are on a completely different level. Karasuba is currently the strongest right after Sekerei No.01 who is not a part of the Sekerei plan. So basically you could say Karasuba is the strongest of us Sekerei."

Naruto absorbed that information. It could be quite useful later on. He then said, " That means you're the second strongest right, if Karasuba is No.02."

Kazehana shook her head and said, " Actually Karasuba is No.04. Sekerei No.02 is a non-combat type. As for me I'm probably still the third strongest…"

Naruto frowned and asked, " Why wouldn't you be the second if No.01 has dropped out?"

Kazehana sighed and said, " Technically speaking that is true but the leader of the Second Disciplinary squad is probably stronger then me. Apparently according to rumors she was able to match Karasuba until Karasuba got winged. Not much later she had a falling out with M.B.I and vanished from the building. She hasn't been seen in years. She's still probably in Tokyo though I'd imagine."

After that an uncomfortable silence settled between the two. Naruto sighed as he looked at the quiet Kazehana. After a few moments of contemplation he sighed again and said, " Hey Kazehana, you see that abandoned warehouse up ahead?"

Kazehana who could indeed see it nodded and asked curiously, " Yeah what about it."

Naruto who had a determined look on his face said, " Land there. I have something important to talk to you about."

Seeing his serious face she nodded silently and took him there. When they were both on their feet, Naruto looked around quickly too see if there was anyone around or if there were some sort of cameras or something watching them. Once he was sure it was completely secure he took a deep breath and said, " I have a confession to make… I'll say it bluntly… I'm from another dimension."

Kazehana blinked. She blinked again. Finally she said, " Excuse me… what?"

Naruto sighed and said, " You heard me right. I wasn't born on Earth. At least not during this dimension I guess…"

She stared at him and said slowly, " What do you mean 'not this dimension.'"

Naruto took another deep breath and said, " This is a long story and I don't particularly like telling it so please don't interrupt me till the end… okay?"

She nodded slowly and said, " Alright…"

Naruto closed his eyes and began, " My world was quite different from this. Wars and fighting were common things. Some of the people in our land possessed special powers, just like Sekerei in fact. These people quickly grouped together and formed armies to protect their homes and others who did not have power. I possessed an ability that was rare even amongst those who had special powers. As such I also become a solider for my village. One day a mad man with godlike powers threatened the entire planet. He forced all the counties that had fought for so long to join together just so we could combat him. It was one of bloodiest and brutal wars fought even by out planet's standards but eventually I fought the man in a one on one battle. I defeated him but he managed to wound me terribly right before he died. I don't really understand why but after I died in my world I woke up as a child in this one…"

Kazehana just stared at him with her mouth slightly open. Finally she pulled out a bottle of sake from somewhere and drank a rather large amount in one go. She sighed and said, " Wow… that was some story… So your from a different dimension?"

Naruto nodded and said, " Yeah… I think… I don't really know actually."

Kazehana nodded and said, " So your special ability, what was it?" She sounded genuinely curious.

Naruto gained a nostalgic smile and said, " My dad, he sealed a demon inside me granting me its power."

She gaped and then yelled, " What! A demon!"

Naruto seeing her apparent anger quickly raised his hands and said, " It's not as bad as it sounds! It was actually pretty nice! In fact I'm probably here and not dead because of it. I'll have to tell you the full story sometime. It'd make quite a tale…"

Kazehana nodded and said, " Yeah you will… so is the demon… still there."

Naruto looked genuinely sad as he said, " No I think he stayed behind… I do have some other abilities I can still use though! Look!" as he promptly made a clone of himself.

Kazehana's eyes widened as she saw her boyfriend suddenly multiply and she spat out the sake she was drinking in surprise as she yelled, " YOU WERE ACTUALLY TELLING THE TRUTH!"

Naruto just stared at her said, " What did you think I was doing?!"

She sighed and rubbed her head as she said, " I don't know… some roundabout way to help me cool down…"

Naruto gave her a deadpan look and said, " Was it really that unbelievable when you're a sexy alien from another planet?"

She blushed in embarrassment. He had a point. He smirked and said, " That's what I thought."

She suddenly smirked back and said, " Soooo… sexy alien hmm… think this sexy alien can have some fun with those clones things later?"

Naruto's nose actually blood as he suddenly saw many different erotic scenes involving him, Kazehana and a couple of clones. He glared at her and said, " And you accuse me of being a pervert when you say things like that."

She 'hmphed' and said, " I'M only perverted for YOU… Don't think I didn't notice you glance at Miya's ass that day. Your lucky SHE didn't notice!"

They kept arguing as they left the building. The clones stared at each other and one said, " Umm are we supposed to be doing anything?"

The next one shook his head and said, Nope…"

The third one grinned deviously and said, " Wanna go and read some BL manga's until we dispel to torture the boss for not agreeing to Kazehana's suggestion?"

All three of them grinned as they prepared to find a comic store only to suddenly dispel. Naruto thanked god he remembered them. He had no idea what sort of mental trauma his clones would have caused him with that stunt.

With a mental pat on the back he exited the building again and joined Kazehana again. It had been an interesting day for sure. He just wanted to go home now.
