This…wasn't what Kaede was expecting, when Yue-dono had called for help, she had assumed that she would encounter a battle where she would, be needed…this wasn't that, if anything it looked like the demons were the ones who needed help.
"Wha…what is this?" Looking at Yue-dono's completely stunned face Kaede couldn't help but chuckle, after all she was a normal teenage girl and seeing two of her classmates battle an army of monsters wasn't exactly ordinary, looking back at the battlefield Kaede herself was more interested in the ally that Asuna-dono and Setsuna-dono had gained, or should she say allies, for they were being assisted by a small army of blond teenagers that all looked exactly like each other, now that caught Kaede's interest.
"Kaede" Hearing her name being called, Kaede turned to look at the two other fighters who had accompanied her, a tall dark skinned girl with long dark hair called; Mana, and a shorter dark skinned blonde girl, Ku Fei. Looking at who had called her, Mana, Kaede opened one of her usually closed eyes, "Yes? What is it?" She asked.
Gesturing with her head towards the battlefield Mana asked, "Are those Kage Bunshins?" Crossing her arms Kaede looked intently at the small army of blondes. "I think so" She answered, "Though they don't have the same feel that mine tend to have- De Gozaru." She added.
"Uhyaa. Are those all real monster?" Piped up Ku Fei, scanning the battlefield, "They look strong-aru" Kaede could see that she was trembling with excitement. She was originally going to go straight ahead to help Negi-bouzu, if it wasn't for that this army of Kage-Bunshins that had gotten her, attention, shrugging she decided to get this over with quickly to help Negi-bouzu, but she had to quench her curiosity, picking up Yue in a bridal style, she headed to where Asuna and Setsuna were within the battlefield, with Mana and Ku Fei following her.
Seeing Asuna and Setsuna back to back as they fought a group of demons and a bespectacled girl wielding a nodachi and a dagger. Kaede saw hoe Mana took out her gun to shoot a demon that had tried to sneak up on Setsuna. Noticing the gunshot both Asuna and Setsuna along with a few of the blond boys looked at Kaede's incoming group. #
"Yue-chan? Kaede-san? Tatsumiya-san? Ku Fei?" Asked Asuna once she recognized the newcomers. Waving at her fellow Baka Ranger, Kaede landed in front of her two classmates along with Mana and Ku Fei. "We came to help" Stated Mana, Turning her gaze At Setsuna, "I will be charging you for my help, Sakurakazaki"
"Fine" Replied Setsuna. Kaede was about to ask about their unusual back up, it seemed that she'd get to ask the help directly as one of the blondes landed next to the group. "Awesome!" Cherred the whiskered blond, "More back up!"
Smirking, Kaede felt in a teasing mood, "Well, I didn't expect Asuna-dono and Setsuna-dono, to be the type to surround themselves with boys". Both girls blushing, they both started spouting that it wasn't anything like that.
Amused at their reactions, Kaede turned her attention to the blond, who seemed to have a confused look on his face. "Now "she started gaining the blonde's attention, "Who are you?" Grinning the blond, gave V-sign, "Naruto Uzumaki, Shinobi extraordinaire, nice to meet ya"
'Another ninja?' Thought Yue, god can this day get any stranger? Then again she was fining this all to be very exciting.
'Ooh a shinobi' Thought Kaede, now time to ask about those Kage Bunshins because she had never ever seen anyone produce this many, she was about to ask when Asuna called out, "Hey can you guys take care of things here?" Gaining the attention of Naruto and her classmates.
"Sure thing-aru!" Answered Ku Fei, "We can take care of these guys"
Giving Baka Yellow a thumbs up, Asuna turned to Setsuna, "Let's go help Negi and the original Naruto, Setsuna-san" Nodding in understanding Setsuna knew that these demons would be no problem for Mana, "Right, Asuna-san"
"I'll come along too-De Gozaru" Voiced Kaede, she wanted to meet this odd shinobi after all. "Nice!" Cheered Asuna, "Let's go!" And so Asuna, Setsuna, Kaede and Yue in Kaede's arms headed off in the direction of the pillar of light.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Is that all?" Asked Kotarou as he looked down on an exhausted and bruised Negi, who was on his arms and legs trembling as he tried to stand up.
"Aniki are you all right?" Asked Chamo as he came in front of Negi, looking up worriedly. Looking at his furry friend Negi gave a shaky smile, "Yeah, Chamo-kun, don't worry I'll beat him"
"Like hell you will" Said Kotarou, twitching a bit from being hit by another of those lighting spells. "I don't like dragging out boring fights, so I'm going to wrap this up"
Having decided to simply knock Negi out, he started walking towards the red-head, olny for a giant fuma shuriken to land between him and his opponent, "What the hell?" Yelled the dog boy, but he didn't have any time to look for where the attack came from as he felt two presences coming down on him from above. Jumping away he has able to dodge Asuna and Setsuna bringing down their weapons on him.
"Negi! Are you all right?" Asked Asuna as she ran to Negi's side to help him, "Yeah, I'm fine Asuna-san" Replied Negi shakily as he stood on his feet, only to nearly fall flat on his face if it wasn't for Asuna catching him.
"You, idiot! Don't overdo it!" Asuna chastised the ten year old. "Where's Uzumaki-san?" Asked Setsuna, who was keeping an eye on Kotarou. "He went on ahead!" Answered Chamo, "Told Aniki to deal with this guy and went on ahead"
"That idiot" Growled Asuna, "When I get my hands on him, he won't be able to call himself a man anymore! "Landing next to Asuna and Negi, Kaede proceed to put Yue down and grab her shuriken's hadle.
"Asuna-dono, Setsuna-dono, Negi-bouzu. Please go ahead I'll take care of things here-De Gozaru" Stated Kaede as she hefted her shuriken out of the ground. "But Kaede-san…" Began to protest Negi, only for Asuna to pick him up and run towards the pillar of light with Setsuna close behind.
"Oh like hell…" Yelled Kotarou as he started sprinting after the trio, only for a kunai to embed itself in the ground in front of him. Turning around to look at the Nee-chan that threw said kunai, Kotarou narrowed his eyes.
"You have good taste in choosing Negi-bouzu as your opponent-De Gozaru" Stated Kaede, as Yue too refuge behind a tree where it was safe. "But…" and then the battle field became full wioth seventeen more Kaedes, "….As of now I'm more powerful-De Gozaru" She finished
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"What is his problem?" Half asked half screamed Asuna, while carrying Negi on his back. "I mean, why the hell did he leave you alone to fight someone like that?" Feeling a bit bad for losing his fight Negi felt that at least he should defend Naruto-san, "It's not his fault" He said "I said I'd fought him before and won…so I guess he thought that I must have been strong enough to beat Kotarou-kun" Which made him feel even worse because he'd failed both Naruto-san and Konoka-san.
"Like hell I'm going to let him get away with this!" Continued to scream Asuna, having apparently ignored Negi's defence of Naruto's actions as she continued to rant about how irresponsible he was. "Umm, Asuna-san" Interrupted Setsuna, as Asuna was going to go into another rant, gaining the pigtailed girl's attention, "I think you should lower your voice, we don't want to alert the enemy that were coming" She stated plainly.
Blushing a bit in embarrassment Asuna effectively stopped ranting all together, though Negi could still hear her grumble about, "Besides…" Continued Setsuna, "…it's possible that Uzumaki-san had good reasons for his descision, so I propose to withhold judgement" Feeling even more foolish Asuna decided to shut up all together. 'Though…' thought Setsuna '…if he did this as some form ofbetrayal, I will make sure to make him regret his action' Asuna's previous mention of Uzumaki-san not being able to call himself a man anymore came to mind.
Seeing the end of the forest coming Negi could actually start to feel Konoka'san's energy, as the trio and rodent finally came out of the forest, they immediately stopped as a slab of stone twice Asuna's size landed in front of them. "Gah! What the hell?!" Screamed Asuna.
Sensing great power that wasn't coming from Konoka-san, Negi looked to the side to see a complete disaster zone, pieces of eartyh and rocking littered a cross the place and in the center of it all he could see…"Asuna-san! Setsuna-san! Look" He said pointing in the direction that he was looking.
Turning to look at where Negi was pointing, Asuna, Setsuna and Chamo all gasped to see the battle field that was before them and that Naruto was at the centre fighting some white haired kid.
' Wow, I had no idea that he was that strong' Thoght Chamo, realizing their opportunity he started snapping the others out of their shock, "Snap out of it we should take this chance to sane Konoka-nee-san!"
Realizing the truth of the rodent's statement, Negi got of Asuna's back and on to his staff and headed to Konoka with Asuna and Setsuna close behind.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'Damn this kid's good' Though Naruto as he dodged another of those flying swords that Fate sent at him. Sensing two coming at him from behind Naruto whipped out a kunai to deflect the blades while in mid-air. Landing on one of the slabs of stone Naruto surveyed the battlefield to look for Fate who had disappeared, sensing another attack coming from above, Naruto was quick to use his kunai to block the sword that Fate had brought down on him, channelling wind chakra through his kunai, Naruto was able to easily cut through the stone sword.
Eyes narrowing at having another of his tool destroyed, Fate decided to make some space between himself and the blonde using shundo. Eyes completely focusing on his opponent Fate looked at his broken sword, "Using wind element to increase the cutting power of you weapon" He stated in his usual monotone "Impressive"
"But…" He added, "…I must praise the fact that you can keep up with me" he finished tossing his ruined weapon aside. "Get of your high horse" Scoffed Naruto, "I've faced people who are more powerful than you, but…" he added grinning, "You're not half bad kid, keeping up with my Sage mode"
Annoyed at the blonde's casual dismissal of his power, despite the latter compliment, Fate charged at Naruto again with a fist raised and aimed at Naruto's head. Catching the attack in his own hand Naruto couldn't help but grin, "Ooh, looks like someone has a temper" He said in a slightly mocking tone, Fate's face didn't change at all, but in the moment that Naruto caught Fate's punch, he saw something, "Are you having fun? Naruto asked the white haired boy.
Surprised at the unexpected question Fate merely tilted his head slightly, as Naruto still held Fate's fist, "What do you mean?" Asked the stoic boy, though he was genuingly confused at the blondes question.
Giving a cocky grin Naruto answered, "Well you seemed to be smirking when you came at me before, in all honesty I wouldn't of thought that you were the type" Narrowing his eyes Fate's attention was quickly taken by the voice of his employer.
"Hey, new guy! Stop them!" Called out Chigusa. Turning to look in the direction of the dock, Fate could see Negi-kun and his two students heading towards Chigusa's location. Giving a kick to Naruto's abdomen, Naruto turned towards where Negi's group where and headed out there while also creating and throwing sverel stone sword at Naruto to distract the blond.
Nearing his intended targets Fate began to chant, "Vishu Talri Shutal Vangait"
'Shit' Thought Naruto as he dodged and broke the blades, 'and Sage mode is running out too'
Noticing the incoming enemy Chamo was quick to alert the trio, "Guy we've got incoming!"Turning to look at where Naruto had been fighting, Setsuna saw the white haired boy heading in their direction, stopping in her tracks she got into a fighting stance and started charging her ki. "Keep on ahead, save Ojou-sama! I'll stop him" She said as she prepared for battle.
"But wait Setsuna-san…" Began both Negi and Asuna, but it was too late Fate had finished his incantation. "Petrification Breath" Finished the white haired boy as a grey cloud appreared near the trio.
"Dammit" Cursed Naruto, creating two shadow clones, 'I'll have to use up my Sage mode for this' and he started forming another sphere of chakra.
"Don't breathe it in!" Yelled Negi, covering the lower part of his face with his shirt, though they weren't surrounded yet by the cloud, they still had to be careful.
'You're finished' thought Fate. Sensing the incoming attack, he easily dealt with the two shadow clones that were attempting to attack him from behind, expecting the real Naruto anytime, he was surprized to see the original Naruto head towards the cloud.
'Hope I'm not too late' Thought Naruto as he neared the cloud, with a sphere similar to the rasengan that he previously used, but had four small white blades around it. Once he was close enough, he rammed the sphere into the ground, "Fuuton: Rasengan" He roared as a tornado erupted around the area that he smashed it into, sucking up all grey cloud within it. Jumping away from the tornado, Naruto gave Negi, Asuna and Setsuna a thumbs up.
With both Negi and Setsuna nodding in thanks, while Asuna returned his thumbs up with her own, the trio headed once again towards the dock.
"You don't cease to surprise me" Commented the stoic boy, who was merely watching as Negi-kun and his allies head towards Chigusa's location. "Yeah, whatever" Shrugged Naruto getting back into a fighting stance, "You're still not laying a hand on them though" said the blonde teen. Fate noted that Naruto's eyes had changed to blue for some reason, though the white haired boy decided not to comment since he could sense that Naruto's power level had changed.
"But there is no need for me to, Naruto Uzumaki" Stated Fate plainly, causing Naruto to blink in confusion, "Because…" Suddenly from the pillar of light sprung out a huge arm, gaining Naruto's attention as he looked towards the dock.
"…it's already too late" Finished the white haired boy.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Thirty one-aru!" Cheered KuFei as she sent another demon flying, while one of the Naruto clones shouted "Forty eight!" Hearing the clone call out a bigger number than her, Ku Fei couldn't help but feel competitive, "This isn't over, I will beat you-aru!" Exclaimed the Chinese girl while pointing at a random clone, who just seemed confused due to the fact that she had been competing against a different clone.
"These guys are monsters!" Exclaimed one of the demons who was staying close to a large group of his comrades, "You're wright!" responded one of his brethren. "Wait a sec!" Interrupted a bird like demon who had gained the group's attention, "Didn't the blonde boy say the ancient demon prince's name ;"Kurama", before?"
"Don't be ridiculous!" Exclaimed a bigger demon, "You just misheard it…as did I" Murmured the demon, "And I" voiced another demon, "Me too" said another.
"But you don't think?" Murmured a smaller one eyed demon, "That he could really be the nine tailed lord's vessel, the ancient "God Slayer Sage", do you?"
"And I'm telling you it's not possible!" Growled the larger demon.
"You guys heard of Kurama before?" Asked a youthful voice.
"Of course" Scoffed a fox like demon, "Who wouldn't? He's regarded as the epitome of chaos",
"The symbol of power" Added another demon, "The unstoppable force" said yet another. Blinking in confusion, the fox demon turned to his brethren, "Which of you guys asked such a stupid question anyway?"
"I did" Voiced the youthful voice again. All the demons turning to look at the centre of the group, and much to their surprise instead of a demon was another one of those whiskered teenagers grinning at them.
"Gah!" Exclaimed all the demons as they quickly jumped away from the blonde, who just waved at them with his grin getting even bigger.
"Now…" Said the Naruto clone, whose eyes became red and his whisker marks became darkes, "…Who's gonna come at me first" As he said that he leaked a plentiful of Kurama's killing intent.
Though they were given more intent than what Naruto gave Kotarou before, the demons didn't see their own death; instead they saw the image of a gigantic nine tailed fox standing where the Naruto clone was.
Screaming like a bunch of little girls the demons threw their hands in the air with their eye bulging out and their mouths agape, "IT'S REALLY HIM!" they all screeched in perfect unison.
Gaining the attention of all the fighters in the general area, all the demons literally started reacting the exact same way the first demons did right down to the "IT'S REALY HIM!"
"What is this?" Asked Mana at seeing the demon's reaction, never before had she ever seen demons shit their pants like this before, 'Just who is that boy?' she wondered. While Ku Fei just stared in confusion due to the fact that neither she nor Mana were the targets of the killing intent and therefore couldn't see the image.
Enjoying this too much the Naruto clone decided to go a bit further, "Who wants to die first?" Asked the blonde, but it came out as deep growl.
"He's going savage" Whined a smaller demon, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Ordered a bird demon, and they did just that, well half of the demons that were still conscious at least, while some of the braver (foolish) demons stayed behind, to continue fighting.
Watching as half of the remaining demons run away to god knows where, most likely because they couldn't unsummon themselves yet, Mana couldn't avoid but yet again question just who the hell did Kagurazaka and Sakurazaki ally themselves with.
"Aaah, what an interesting person!" Exclaimed the bespectacled girl, Tsukiyomi, drawing Mana's attention, with her guns at the ready, "Maybe once I'm done with senpai he can satisfy me also" Sighed the strange girl, before charging at Mana.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As the gigantic being with four arms and two faces emerged from the pillar, of light Negi, Asuna and Setsuna stopped in their track at being overshadowed by the massive creature, "So this is… Ryomen Sukuna-no-Kami" Muttered Setsuna in awe, "Sestuna-san, h..how are we going to beat that thing?" Asked Negi with a very shaky voice.
"Fu fu fu… Seems that you were one step too late" Cjhuckled Chigusa as she and Konoka were levitated above the dock landing above the gigantic creature's shoulder, "The ritual has just been completed"
"Aniki do something!" Pleaded Chamo, who was panicking even more than the others. Getting a grip on himself, Negi jumped of his staff and began to chant, "Ras Tel Masci Magister, Gather Unto Me Spirits of the Wind…"
"Good idea Aniki, that's a very effective spell that should blow it away!" Cheered the white rodent.
"Wait a minute!" Protested Asuna, "Negi you must be exhausted after fighting Kotarou, don't overdo it!" But Negi didn't listen instead he just continued with his chanting, "Fum Fulgastio Efulet Tempestus…Austorina…Vois Tempestus Fulgriens!" And from the ten year old's fist erupted a tornado that headed towards the gigantic figure. But unfortunately the attack had absolutely no effect.
"Ahahahahaha! Is that all you've got son of the Thousand Master?"Laughed Chigusa from her safe spot on the giant's shoulder.
Falling to his knees, despair finally took hold of Negi, "It's too strong…" he murmured, "We can't…" But anything more that Negi had to say was interrupted by the voice of a certain blond, "SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Catching everyone's attention, Asuna, Negi, Setsuna and Chigusa all looked towards Naruto who had stopped his fight with Fate for a moment. Pointing his finger towards the demon Naruto continued, "Your friend is waiting for you to rescue her! You don't have the RIGHT to give up in this situation, whether you're facing impossible odds or the entire damn world is against you! Now get up and SAVE HER NOW!"
"Naruto-san…" Muttered Negi, "He's right!" Exclaimed Asuna gaining the red head's attention, "So what if it's big, we'll save Konoka, right Setsuna-san?" Turning to smile at her classmate, Setsuna replied with a nod.
Realizing that they were right, Negi got back to his feet, "Right" He said, turning towards Naruto with a determined look, "Naruto-san I will save Konoka-san…so…leave it to us!" Said the young read head mustering as much confidence as he could.
"Go get 'em kid" Shouted the blonde. Naruto turning back to Fate, "Okay" He said cracking his knuckles, "Where were we?"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Getting information from one of the clones that the boss had just made, one of the clones surrounding the meditative clone, turned to his brethren, "Boss need Sage mode now!"
"I know!" Exclaimed the meditative clone before opening his eyes then poofing out of existence.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sending another barrage of his stone swords at Naruto, Fate asked the blond, "What is your connection to Konoka Konoe? Why do you wish to save her?"
Rearmed with his Sage mode, Naruto cut the sword with a Wind chakra infused kunai. "Apart from helping me wake up, none at all, but as for why I want to save her…"
Feeling Naruto appear behind him, Fate armed his barriers at full power as he blocked Naruto's punch, though it still sent him back, "I hate people who see others as tools" Sated the blond.
Before Fate could counterattack, Naruto was already on top of him bringing down his leg in an axe kick. "No matter what reasons you people have, you have NO right to use a person like that!" Grunting from the force of Naruto's kick Fate did his best to hold his ground, while the ground itself started cracking.
Pushing back Naruto's leg just enough for him to slip away, using shundo to make some more distane between himself and Naruto, the whiote haired boy summoned three gigantic black pillars of stone and brought them down on Naruto.
Seeing three pieces of rock heading towards him from where Naruto was, Fate merely put up his barrier so that the object would bounce off instead of risking breaking his stance, but to the white haired boy's surprise the moment they connected with his barrier they became enveloped in smoke, turning into three Naruto's with the centre one holding an energy sphere in each hand as the two clones helped for them.
Fate only had enough time to widen his eyes before Naruto rammed the two spheres into his upper chest , "RasenRengan!" Roared the blonde as Fate was once again thrown backwards.
"Ahahahahaha" Laughed Chigusa as the gigantic demon brought one of its hands down to smash the little pest that had been a thorn in her side.
Seeing the gigantic appendage heading towards them the trio were quick to jump away as the hand came down and smashed the dock to pieces, while Negi launched another barrage of magical arrows which had no effect on the demon. "Damn, its having no effect" Said Chamo as the magical arrows dissipated. .
"Direct methods will not be of any use in this situation" Stated Setsuna, "We are outmatch in pure power specs alone and we cannot depend on Uzumaki-san's assistance, so the best strategy would be for someone to distract Chigusa while someone goes to personally rescue Ojou-sama"
"That all fine and dandy" Grumbled the ermine, "But just how the hell are we supposed to reach the monkey lady?"
Staying quiet for a couple of seconds Asuna and Negi started to worry, but before they could ask Sestuna spoke up, "Negi-sensei, Asuna-san…" she said in almost a whisper, causing Asuna and Negi to look at Setsuna with confused looks on their faces, "I…I have kept a secret from you and Ojou-sama. Once you have seen my true form…I'll have to say goodbye."
Bending over slightly something started coming out of Setsuna's back, "But now…with you two…" and out of her back sprouted two wings with pure white feathers.
All Asuna and Negi could do was gasp, "This is my true form…" Said Setsuna with a voice full of shame, "I'm a monster just like them….Please don't misunderstand I truly do want to protect Ojou-sama…but I've kept it a secret all this time because I was afraid that ojou-sama would hate me in this ugly form…" Small tears started appearing in the corners of her eyes "…Even Miyazaki-san has more courage than me…I'm pathetic…"
Anything else that she had to say was interrupted when Setsuna felt Asuna touching her wings. "Umm. Asuna-san?" Questioned Setsuna, only to receive a smack on the back from Asuna, "What are you talking about?" Asked the pig tailed girl, "I think they're cool"
These word completely shocked setsuna and Asuna didn't stop there, "You're Konoka's childhood friend right? Do you really think that she's the kind of person to hate you for something like this? You're such an idiot"
"A…Asuna-san" Gasped Setsuna she couldn't believe it, they weren't rejecting her.
Hefting her harrisen Asuna turned to look at the enormous , "We'll keep the Monkey bitch distracted while you save Konoka" Turning to give Setsuna a confident grin and wink, she added, "Besides in this situation we don't have the right to give up, do we?"
Understanding Asuna's words Setsuna nodded, "Right Asuna-san"
Preparing to start attacking the giant Asuna and Negi suddenly heard a voice, "Hey boy. Can you hear me?" Recognizing the voice Negi muttered, "That voice, could it be?"
Meanwhile on Naruto's end things weren't going so smoothly either, the kid was tougher than Naruto expected, he could of wrapped this all up much more quickly if he could go Biju Chakra cloak mode, but that wasn't an options for the moment. Then he saw it, Fate seemed to have diverted his attention to what was going on the other side of the field, to where the tohers were, and lauched a stone sword in their direction.
Turning to look at where Fate at launched the sword, Naruto could see that, it was aimed at Setsuna, who had somehow sprouted wings and was practically on top of Chigusa, while Negi and Asuna had seemed to have strapped two of the demon's arms together with some weird technique of the brats'.
"Your opponent is me dammit!" Roared Naruto as he punched Fate square in the jaw, sending him flying back, turning back to look at the sword, Naruto created a shadow clone.
She was almost there, almost there Chigusa hadn't even noticed her yet, she was too disrtated by Asuna and Negi, who had bound two of the demons hands together with a Bindin Arrow of Air spell. She was nearly there, but then Setsuna felt a killing intent, turning to look at her side she could see sword heading her, way. It wa too fast she wouldn't be able to counter it!
Then suddenly something orange entered her field of vision and the sword embedded itself in it instead. It was a moment before she realized that it was Uzumaki-san, she was going to go help her new ally that is until she heard a grunting sound that sounded like "Go". Realizing that this was her chance Setsuna stretched out her hand and grabbed Konoka's arm.
"What?" Was all Chigusa got to say before she received a kick to the face, causing her to fall off the demon's shoulder and into the water, courtesy of Sestuna who then took off with Konoka.
"Ojou-sama! Ojou-sama!" Pleaded Setsuna hoping that Konoka was alright. "Se-chan" Asked Konoka opening her eyes, "I knew it…you came to my rescue again"
"Ojou-sama are you hurt?" Asked Setsuna worriedly, it was then that Konoka noticed, "Ah Se-chan your back!" Feeling self-conscious again Sestuna started stuttering, "N..no these… You see…"
"Beautiful wings…" Sighed Konoka, "Just like an angel"
"Yeah she did it!" Cheered Asuna and Negi, only for their interruptions to halted when something landed next to them, turning to see they saw; Naruto with a sword embedded into his stomach,.
"Are you okay?" Asked Negi worriedly, turning to look at the ten uear old, Naruto gave him a cheeky grin as he pulled out the sword, "Don't worry kid, I've had worse" He said casually. Good thing he blocked himself instead of throwing a clone to block it, otherwise it would of gone straight through to Setsuna.
"Worse?!" Asked Asuna in a shocked voice, "What do you mean…?" Her question was cut off as the demon had unbound its hand and one of its fists was heading straight towards them.
"Give me a fucking break!" Groaned Naruto who blocked the fist with one hand.
"Eh!" Exclaimed Negi and Asuna at the ridiculous physical strength that Naruto just displayed. Sensing an attack coming from behind Negi turned to see Fate aiming a punch towards him, only for that punch to be caught, by a hand that came out of the shadows and out of those shadows came out a young girl with waist long blond hair. "Now were even boya" Commented the girl.
"Evangeline-san!" Exclaimed Negi at the new arrival who proceeded to punch away Fate sending him yet again flying. Turning back to look at Naruto who was still holding the fist, "Nice job looking for the brat now let me take care of the big guy" She ordered the blonde.
But Naruto didn't listen; instead he started grunting as he lifted the demon out of the water by its arm holding it up high above him. "Hey I told you to let go!" Barked Evangeline, while Asuna and Negi gaped yet again at the display of physical strength, and yet again Naruto didn't listen, he just grunted and threw the demon away into the lake.
Seething with rage at being ignored Evangeline screamed, "Hey are you listening to me? Butt out!"
Ignoring the ranting of the blonde girl Naruto made two shadow clones, "I'm ending this right now!" He proclaimed while the demon started getting back to its feet within the lake.
Not willing to let some upstart overshadow her Evangeline barked "Chachamaru! Destroy the barrier now!" High up in the air, being kept afloat by rockets was a girl with waist long green hair and two strange antennae on either side of her head. "Understood Master" she said in a monotone voice, aiming a huge gun at the demon.
But before she could fire, Naruto had already finished his technique, with a Rasengan sphere in the centre Naruto now held a huge Fuma shuriken made out of Chakra in his hand.
"Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!" He roared before throwing it at the demon. Crossing the water at unbelievable speeds the technique reached the demon in no time. Once it hit its intended target it exploded into a huge sphere enveloping the demon. Which after a minute dissipated leaving no sign of the demon but a lower torso that began to fall apart.
"Wow that was incredible Naruto-san!" Exclaimed Negi once the technique had finished.
Turning around to see Asuna and Negi and some green haired girl who had just appeared staring at him, Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, as his Sage mode wore off "He he" He chuckled, nervously, only to have a hand grab the front of his shirt and drag him down to eye level with the blond girl.
"Do you know who you are dealing with?" She asked with an underlying of killing intent in her tone. "When Evangeline A.K McDowell orders you to do something you do it, understood?"
Blinking in confusion Naruto merely tilted his head, "Umm, who are you? And when did you get here?" He asked.
A tick mark appearing on her head, Evangeline was about to kill the blond idiot if it wasn't for the fact that she heard the boya exclaim" Evangeline-san!" Turning to see what the brat wanted she was immediately pulled aside by the blond idiot behind her as stone spikes appeared nearly stabbing through both her and the whiskered blond.
"Hm missed" Muttered Fate who had appeared on the dock to deliver that attack
Disappearing from Naruto's grip and appearing behind the white haired boy Evangeline scoffed dismissively, "It wouldn't have made a difference if it had hit for I am the "Undying Mage" she said as she slashed at Fate destroying a large portion of the dock at the time.
As the dust cleared Naruto could see that Fate seemed to be turning into water, "I see…2 Muttered the stoic boy his expression unchanging, "…It would be a disadvantage if I were to fight a True Blood Vampire. I'll be retreating for today." Turning his gaze to Naruto he added "And I'll be sseing you again" Before becoming a puddle of water.
"Was that teleportation?" Asked Naruto looking at the puddle, shaking his head he dismissed it as unimportant for now. Turning to Asuna and Negi he asked, "Are you two okay?"

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, it was a bitch to write. I now realize how hard it is deciding who to pair with Naruto, it isn't a question of who's good, with him, but whether wen to stop at a certain amount. After all Naruto can have great chemistry with any of the girls…which is more then I can say for negi in the manga.
Oh well enjoy.
