Naruto: Into The Fox's Den
Chapter 2: It's a Demon's world... After All!
The morning sun begins to rise.
At the Fox's Den, the large fox sign opens an eye, scaring a few teens. The fox lets out a smirk, before freezing.
Both Mana and Kaede, both who are on their morning jog, stop near the entrance. They look to each other.
With a nod, they walk in.
Hearing the bell ring, Naruto looks up from the object he was working with and smiles at seeing his two apprentices.
Placing the object behind his back, he says. "Ah... my two favorite people." Using his free hand, he scratches his head. "I was planning to visit, honestly."
"Sensei..." Mana started.
"We heard you were taking Asuna as an apprentice, de gozaru." Kaede said with a tilted head. Seeing Naruto raises his brows, she answers. "She asked us about you."
"Ah..." He watches Mana look around at the objects on the shelf's. "I see a lot of myself in her, so I gave her a choice." Walking up to Mana, he takes the object from behind his back and holds it out to her. "An old friend named Dante helped me make this."
Mana's eyes widen as she takes in the handgun. The grip is made of greenish-blue scales. The barrel, slide and frame are blue. The hammer resembles a demonic finger nail, same with the trigger. All in all, it's a unique, beautiful, demonic looking weapon.
Taking the gun, she gets a feel of the weight. "Where...?"
"Fought a Hydra..." The girls gasp at that. "Dante helped me make it... and as a bonus, I placed some seals on the clip... think of them as magical bullets... only better... my father helped with the seals... hate to admit it... but he is better at them."
Mana spins the gun on her finger and smirks. "I love it Sensei... thank you."
"No problem... I think of you girls as my daughters." Naruto replied with his eyes closed.
Shaking out of her shock at what her Sensei said, Kaede says. "What about me, de gozaru?"
Opening his eyes, he reaches into his pockets and pulls out a... Kunai? With the same scales as the gun. "Didn't think I forgot about you, did you?" He hands her the Kunai. "I placed a seal on this Kunai." Grabbing her right hand, he pulls out a piece of paper and slaps it on her. It glows blue, then the paper vanishes. In it's place is a black tribal tattoo. After a few seconds, it forms into a fox.
"What...?" She managed to say as she inspects her hand.
"The seal on the Kunai has two purposes... one is to forever remain unbreakable and sharp. The second..." He nods toward her hand. "The tattoo is a seal... rub blood on it and the Kunai will appear in your hand..." She then rubs the scales. "Made of Hydra scales..."
"Thank you, Sensei." Just as Kaede says that, Asuna walks in, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
Asuna looks around and notices her classmates. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Just visiting." Mana looks at her watch and nods to Kaede. "We better go."
With a bow, they both leave the two alone.
Once alone, Asuna looks at Naruto and gives him her answer. "I'll do it."
Naruto gives her a warm smile. "Great!"
"But... what will we be doing?" Asuna asks.
"Our job..." Naruto started. "Is to mainly keep the worlds in balance... what I said before is true...as long as it doesn't cause disruption." He picks up a piece of paper. "Sometimes Kami will give us a mission... Whether it be exploring new dimensions that pop up everyday... to requests that comes in from a dimension." He reads the piece of paper and grins. "And it appears an old friend of my needs some help."
"So... are we about to go..." Asuna asked. Her face shows her nervousness.
"Yeah." Naruto said as he makes a clone to watch the store.
"Will... it hurt...?" Asuna managed to ask. Ignoring the clone.
"It will tingle... that's about it." He looks back at her. "Ready?" Seeing her nod, he holds out his hand for her to take. Steeling her resolve. She grabs it. He smirks and snaps his finger. A blue wave begins to appear. Everything starts to distort.
To an outsider, they will appear to bend and twist. Colors swirl around.
Then...
They vanish. No burn marks. No scream. Just gone.
The clone sighs, then pulls out an orange book. With a giggle, he begins to read.
In a school. People rush to and from class.
It would look like a normal school... if it wasn't for a woman with wings flying around and several blue penguins wobbling around.
Suddenly a distortion appears. Colors start to swirl.
Several students look at it for a moment before shrugging and walking on.
The distortion stops and out walks Naruto and Asuna. The latter holding her breath, expecting this dimension to be unbreathable.
"You can breath now." Naruto said with shake of the head.
Asuna takes a breath and looks around. "It's a school..." She started, only to see several people with wings, penguins and a large... thing poking out of a door. "D-Demons!"
Naruto laughs. "Welcome to Maritsu Evil Academy."
"E-evil Academy?" Asuna said with a stutter.
Meanwhile in a dimension far away.
A woman with silver hair, which floats like it's under water, sits on a white throne. A small orb sits in her lap. On it, is Naruto and Asuna walking around. She gives them a gentle smile.
I have to give Fate and Karma their credit... She looks up as a beautiful woman with red hair walks in. "Kushina... I've been expecting you. How was the poker game?"
Kushina sighs as she walks up to the throne. "Terrible..." She then gives a small smile. "But I have to thank you for letting Tsunade stay at the palace."
"She's your friend... even though she broke your wishes concerning Naruto." The woman replied as she goes back to watching the orb. Naruto is showing Asuna around the school, her nervousness finally went away. The woman then smirks. "That girl reminds me of you."
Kushina looks at Asuna in the orb. "Don't see it."
Back at the Evil Academy
Asuna looks in awe as she and Naruto peak into a classroom and witness a titanic battle.
A large man swings an axe down onto a group of students. The students leap back. One student whispers something, then a ninja like demon appears.
Asuna then looks back at Naruto. "Are the teachers allowed to do that?"
Naruto chuckles. "Of course! I used to teach here."
"You did?" Asuna asked incredulous.
Naruto nods and they walk away from the classroom.
"Yeah... Kami gave me a mission to teach here... she didn't tell me my student would try to kill me..." Naruto said, while saying the last part in a whisper.
"So... what kind of dimensions are out there?" Asuna asked as they continue to walk around.
"You'd be surprised." Naruto said with a smirk as they pass a nurse with demonic wings. She gives Naruto a fanged smirk. "I've seen a dimension where Men and Woman lived on separate planets..."
"Now that sounds like my kind of planet." Asuna said with a smile.
"Really now?" Naruto said with another smirk.
"Of course." Asuna said, before taking a few seconds, then she finally realized what he meant. "Gross!"
The two continue to walk around. After a few minutes, Asuna asked.
"Who are we looking for? And how do you recieve requests when you are in another dimension."
Looking at her from the corner of his eyes, he answers. "Kami and my mother handles them... but sometimes I open some stores in these dimension and my father's foxes runs them."
Before Asuna can ask, something brushes against her... posterior. Quickly turning around, she spots one of those blue penguins. "Why you...!" Asuna rears her arm back.
"Um... Dood?" The prinny stated.
Naruto, wondering what the ruckus is about, turns around and widen his eyes as Asuna's fist heads toward the frightened Prinny. "Wait... Asuna!"
Too late...
Meanwhile in another dimension.
Kushina and Kami continue to watch the events unfold.
Kushina nods sagely. "Now I see it."
Kami just giggles.
Back with Naruto.
He wipes the ash off his face and gives Asuna a light glare.
Asuna just chuckles nervously, ash covering most of her face and hair.. "Well... you didn't tell me he'd explode!"
Naruto just shakes his head as they arrive at a door. "We're here."
Before Naruto can knock, the door flies open and out walks a short pink haired girl. Horns on her head. And of course wings. Her pink eyes glare around angrily. She lets out a huff. "The nerve of him! Accusing me of taking his Manga! I don't even like that stuff!"
She'd definitely fit in at Mahora. Asuna thought while wiping off the ash.
"Raspberyl!" Naruto greeted.
Said girl gasps. "Sensei!" Raspberyl then looks at Asuna, who is starting to become intimidated by those pink eyes. "Whose this?"
"This is Asuna... she's traveling with me." Asuna gives a bow. "How are you and Mao? Still a delinquent are you?"
Raspberyl nods. "It's been real hectic since you left... and because of Mao... I was almost made an honor student."
"Sorry to hear that." Naruto said, while Asuna just looks on in confusion. "I got your letter and Mao's too."
A bell ringing is heard, signalling a new class is starting. "Maybe we can catch up later, Sensei. I don't want to be late."
Raspberyl then vanishes down the hall. Intent on keeping her delinquent status.
"That was Raspberyl... the only student that actually listened to me..." Naruto said as him and Asuna walk into the room.
Once inside, they both look at the messy room. Books strewn aside. Video games piled up. And a white haired tornado rushing throughout the room.
Objects fly this way and that.
The tornado stops in front of Naruto and Asuna, revealing it to be a white haired boy.
Naruto raises his eyebrow. "Mao... why does your title say 'Hero'?"
Mao begins digging through the pile of comics. "Never mind that... help me find my manga!"
"Manga?" Asuna asked. "Shouldn't you be in class?"
Mao gives her a glare. "No, woman! I'm an honor student... it's my duty to miss a few!" He then starts rummaging again.
Asuna glances to Naruto who slaps his face. What have I gotten myself into? Naruto then sighs and picks up a comic book. Flipping it open, he begins to read. The things I do for love... Her eye's widen. What the hell did I just think?
Ignoring that thought, she picks up a video game and looks at the cover of it. 'Prinny: The Revenge'. It has a picture of a Prinny holding up a large timebomb and a Prinny firing a gatling gun. Both chasing several demons, including a girl with wings, a tail and purple hair in pig tails. Asuna sweatdrops.
Decided to place the Disgaea dimension as the first place they go.
I'm not good at action scenes, so this story will probably be more of a comedy then an action. I'm good at Horror and Adventures, but fight scenes... not so much.
For some reason, this chapter made me want to make a Naruto/Etna story.
I also like to put subtle references in my stories (as subtle as an alligator, that is), so don't be surprised about them.
I'm still taking suggestions. That goes for all of my stories.
Also I just released an original story called: Wolves of Prey
