"Hisshu Kanoya?"
Shiranui nods her head while slurping her large bowl of full set ramen. "Heard he's *slurp* gathering people to *slurp* do something against *slurp* Medaka-chan." The loli lift her large bowl and drink the booth like its holy water. "He's a failed Student Council President Candidate, and he's been touring around the school to look for people that can fight. From the looks of thing he's probably planning for a hostile take down against the Student Council Regime."
Zenkichi let out a hum as he pokes his curry with a spoon, "Hostile takes down, huh? Didn't that man know how much of a monster Medaka is?"
"He does." Shiranui answered as she put her bowl down, a single naruto is sticking on her head. "He got a firsthand taste of her monstrosity when he's bullying female students to vote for him. I guess that bounds to happen when you're buying votes with brute force."
"Hee… I see." While normally the news is worrying, the very fact that they're targeting Medaka of all people quickly quenches the normality of it all. Really, of all people they targets the most fearsome of them all.
"By the way, Hitoyoshi, how was your sport clubs touring? Did you find anything you like?" Shiranui asks out of pure curiosity. She's not trying to gather info about anything at all, nope, not her.
"Oh that. I've been to the boxing club already; next I'm going to try the full-contact sports."
"Huh, I didn't take you as a jock, Zenkichi." A new voice interrupt, the owner sitting directly opposite of both Zenkichi and Shiranui. "Why are you so active?"
The hound of Medaka look at Habataki Hyuga, the once fearsome kendo player have his face is in bandage and plasters, scar of his battle with Naruto Uzumaki. "I'm not really." Zenkichi answered, "But I have this rule that I must sweat at least five litters a day."
"I see." Hyuga nods his head in (somewhat) of an understanding. It must be hard work trying to keep up with that monster President of theirs. "But I suggest you to scale it down a bit. People are talking about you, calling you the 'StuCo Club Crashers'."
"It's fine." Zenkichi wave off the swordsman, "I'm trying to build a reputation anyway, though to be honest the 'Club Crashers' sounds a bit weak." He needs something better, something as fearsome as Medaka's.
"Speaking of reputation, have you guys heard what the student population is calling Uzumaki-kun these days?" Shiranui asked with gleaming eyes.
Now that got the boys attention. "What is it?" Hyuga asked.
"They're calling him The Tyrant."
Tyrant, a ruler who seized absolute power without legal right, a person exercising power or control in a cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary way. A cursed tittle given to people who rule through power and fear, or perhaps unjustly given to a ruler because his method are deem to extreme by others.
"Tyrant Uzumaki… What a fitting tittle."
All three heads snap toward the sudden interjector of their conversation. Medaka Kurokami stood behind Zenkichi and Shiranui with her hands folded under her generous breasts. The atmosphere around here is shining, as if her single existence is a blessing itself. "Where the hell did you come from Medaka?!" Her childhood friend asked.
"I've always been here." Medaka wave off her friend question, "But what you said interest me, Hansode Shiranui. You claimed that the students are calling Naruto Uzumaki with the tittle Tyrant?"
"Yup!"
"Then it is a fitting tittle. For someone who held great ambition and fight tooth to nails to claim the power they desire, one who have the eyes of someone who knows no fear, one who command the respect of their followers by sheer awe and force, one who challenge against a greater power with a courage of a honey badger." Medaka nods her head, her dark red eyes shines with interest and an emotion one can't simply read, "Yes, he is a fitting Tyrant and a worthy rival for my power."
Shiranui interest peaked when she heard Medaka explanation and claimed, "Wah, Medaka-chan, you sound really interest in Uzumaki-kun." Could this be?
"Of course!" Medaka acknowledged without shame, "I accept anyone who wants to challenge my position!" But someone who proclaims a declaration of war in front of her face with such powerful and fearsome eyes? She had never met anyone brazen enough to do that. She can't tell what but there's something about this Uzumaki that sent her body tingling with something.
Zenkichi also suspect something's amiss with Medaka proclamation. She never been so… specific about someone that she has no interest in (Or maybe she is, he just rarely heard about it) and the fact she offers a position to Uzumaki mean that her interest with him is high. That mean…
Oh god, he better pray for his classmate sanity and safety.

It was one of the empty classrooms inside the massive school where Kanoya made it his base of operation. Chairs and tables are put aside to make room for the boxes of weapons and goons standing around in the room. The leader himself is sitting at the end of the room on a table as he observes the weapons his goons gathered.
"It's not enough." Kanoya said with a frown, "Go and gather more."
"E-Eh?" One of his goons looks unsure, "You sure about—"
"Of course I'm sure!" Kanoya yelled out, "No go and get more-!"
"You sure are loud, Gorilla Man. I can hear you from outside the room."
Kanoya head snap toward the entrance of the room in rage, "Who the hell call me Gorilla—oh, it's you, Uzumaki." His rage subside a bit when he see the rising leader of the delinquent.
Naruto Uzumaki enters the room with four of his random underlings following behind. His blue eyes look around the room, spotting the rag-tag of goons under Kanoya and the weapons in the middle of the room. He frowns when he saw the latter.
"Welcome, Uzumaki. I'm glad you decide you'll join us in our fight against that monster Medaka Kurokami!" He grins, showing his shark-like teeth. "I'm sure with our combine might we can—"
The blond didn't even hear what the giant shark-like-gorilla is saying, preferring to walk toward the middle of the room and crouch down, inspecting the makeshift weapons. "… What is this?" He picks up a spiked bat from the box and inspects it.
"Oh that? Well its insurance package in our fight against that monster. We're planning to gather more and-" He stop when he hears Naruto laughs, "What so funny?!"
He laughs for six more seconds before stopping, "This! This is funny!" He wipes a tear from his eye. "You think a measly armament like this is enough to beat Medaka?" He looks toward the senior with an amuse expression. Then the second later his expression morph into rage as he grab the bat smack it on the floor, breaking the wooden weapon. "Don't fucking kidding me, you stupid gorilla!"
"Wha—"
"You want to beat something that's stronger than you? And you resort to doing this?" He kicks the weapon box as it shatters from the force, "Don't make me laugh! You think this will change anything? You think weapons like this make you strong?" He picks up a plank of wood, "The pathway of someone gaining strength isn't from shit like this! You want to be strong? Then use your fist and your brain! Not this shit!" He breaks the plank with the force of his grip.
Kanoya emotion is already at boiling point, but when the blond perform this stunt? He stood up in all his size, killing intent ships out from him toward the blond who isn't really affected by it at all. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, huh?!"
Naruto let out a sighs and glares at Kanoya, "I'm teaching you idiots on how to be strong, on how to beat a monster like Medaka. If you can't even understand that then it's no wonder you got your ass kick."
"You… YOU ASSHOLE!" He charge toward the blond with his fist pulled back. His large body and muscles is a clear sign that a punch for him would've hurt when it landed, it's also one of the reason he's a pretty successful delinquent in this school. Someone experienced in combat would realize this in a blink of their eyes as the signs are obvious.
Naruto? He doesn't really care.
The sound of skin and bone meet with skin and bone spread across the room. All of the eyes in the room are wide at the spectacles before them, even Kanoya look shocked. Naruto, instead of evading to the side like what a normal person would do, meet the punch with his own as it not only stop the large man strike, and it smack it back.
"Brute strength alone won't get you much anywhere. That will failed you the moment you meet someone who is far superior than you." The blond eyes are stagnant, staring at his opponent shocked face. "I'm surprise your hand didn't break. You must've strong bones." It's not like he strikes it with all he got, but it's pretty hard. "Anyway you have your shot, it's my turn now." He dash forward.
"GUH?!" Kanoya tries to put up his hand in defense, he really did, but the fact that Naruto is fast and was close and personal before he can get his defense up already mark his defeat. With a swift punch to the guts, the blond ended the fight. "OGH!?" The large brute fell to the ground holding his stomach as saliva was puked out from the sheer force of the punch.
"You need to analyze your opponent, are they stronger than you? Faster? Then you need to adapt. If you can't beat them then you need to train, put yourself to the limit so you can match your most hated opponent." Naruto turn around and look at the goons under Kanoya, "I can show you the way and help you get stronger. Come with me and be a part of my group as I bring this school to its knee."
It's not mere words, but it is a promise.
A promise of a Tyrant to his soldiers; and the Tyrant Uzumaki never break his promise.

"Man, Oyabun that was so awesome!"
It's at a non-descriptive arcade place that the Uzumaki Group is hanging around. As a celebration for subjugating and merging a new group to theirs the group decided to celebrates by playing at the arcade to let out some steam. It's a pretty intimidating sight seeing a lot of delinquents looking students hanging around the arcade, but the place seems to be a casual destination for them that the other customers didn't really care that much.
Beside when the leader of said delinquents is playing DDR it decreases the intimidation value.
"ORYAAAAAAAAA!" With a battlecry the blond quickly did some sick, high speed move to match the hard difficulty of the song. The delinquents around him are praising him in awe of his awesome skills. "I WONT LET YOU BEAT ME MAXX UNLIMITED(1)!"
"UWOOOO!" The entire underlings look in awe as their Oyabun finished the legendary hard song for every DDR.
With a sigh of relief the blond step down from the DDR stage, letting the next eager player step up. "I guess I'll go home for today. You guys go and enjoy yourself, alright?" With a loud 'Hai, Oyabun!' echoing through the arcade the blond grab his bag and take his leave from the building. He look up to the sky to see that it's already twilight, and his shift in the Ramen Bar for today is coming up.
Stretching his hands to the sky, the blond begin his track toward the establishment. Pondering, the blond begin to think about his options to gain popularity among the student body and also how to train his underlings without killing them. He could ask Monji to train them, but he doubt all of them have proficiency in Kendo, but then he could ask Kiba to help make sure their ready with hand-to-hand combat. He may not look like it but the Inuzuka is trained in free-style combat.
It's a shame he didn't perfect his craft. He could be a good sparring partner.
"-did you say?!"
A loud yell cut Naruto pondering as his eyes refocus just in time to see a group of five guys surrounding a meek looking boy and a short, black hair girl with his school uniform. From the uniforms the thugs are wearing even the blond can guess that they're from different school.
"You didn't hear me?" The girl growls without fear, "I said you guys are assholes for bullying someone weaker than you!"
"You…" One of the thugs steps closer but stop by another one, from his style he could be the leader. "Azai-san?"
'Azai' smirk, "You got guts for a girl, but its five against one. Tell you what, you strip right now, right here, and we'll let you off the hook. How about that?" The other thugs laughs perversely at the idea.
"You…" The girl clenches her fist in rage and she—
"aaaaaAAMYYC-"
All heads turn toward the weird voice coming toward them and all they see is a flying human heading toward them, his legs directly aim toward the nearest thug.
"-ENTRYYYYYYY!" With a finishing yell the leg hit the thug and creates a human domino effect as he was propelled toward the other two thugs, including Azai.
"What the hell is this supposed to be, huh?" Clearly not amused Naruto asked while cracking his knuckles, "Ganging up on a girl? Where's your guts as a human being you shit heads?!"
Azai was the first to recover from the shock attack, "Y-You asshole! Who the fuck do you think you—BUHG!" Before he can finish speaking a fist greeted him on the face, propelling him one again through the air.
"A-Azai-san!"
"Listen here you bastards! My name is Naruto Uzumaki of Hakoniwa Academy! And I ain't letting you assholes do shit like this in front of my face!"
The other thugs, snapped out of their shock by Naruto introduction, charge at him. Only to meet the same face as Azai as the blond dodge and weave all of their feeble attacks and counter it with his signature punches that sent them flying.
"SERIOUS STYLE: FALCON PUNCHEEES!
"You're not Captain Falcoooonnn!" All of the thugs screamed out before they black out and hit the ground in a loud thud.
The Captain Falcon wannabe let out a sighs of disappointment. "Tch, weaklings." He turns his face toward the victims he'd just saved. "You guys okay?"
"… Eh? Ah, yes! Thank you for saving us!" The meek male said while bowing his head.
"OI!" The female is another story, "The hell did you do that for?! I can beat them by myself!"
Naruto scratch his cheek. "Yeah, I know that. But that doesn't mean I'll just let these guys gang up on a girl, it's bad for my conscious, you know?" Beside if Old Man Ichiraku found out he let her alone because he know she can take care of herself he'll dock his payment again!
"… Huh? W-W-What are you talking about?!" Her face went red.
Her reaction made the blond confused. "What do I mean? That you're a girl? I mean, you ARE a girl, right?"
"W-Well of course!" But then her bravado went meek, "… T-This is the first time someone said that to me…" She whispers.
Naruto was about to ask what she said the last part since he can't hear it but his mind kick him, reminding him that he's going to be late at this rate. "Anyway! You guys are safe so I'll be going now! Caiou!" With a cool, shounen protagonist waves the blond scurry away in top speed, hopping to get to his destination on time.
"Woah…" The meek kid look in awe, "He's so cool…"
The girl? She's having trouble controlling her weirdly fast beating heart. "… Naruto Uzumaki huh?" She whispers.

"Is that the guy?"
Three figures stood atop of a building overlooking the area. Their eyes are lock on a certain blond that's sprinting through the quite street toward his destination. "If the picture is accurate, then yes." The middle one confirms with his voice muffles by something.
"He doesn't look like much." The third one, a male, said with a cocky tone. "I can kill him with my eyes closed."
The one who first ask a question, a female, snorts. "Yeah right. You should watch yourself or you'll eat that ego."
"What'cha say?!"
"Shut up, both of you. We need to remember that our mission is to observe only and don't do anything stupid. Need I remind you that he was an S class experiment? He'll kill us if we do anything hasty." The middle one said.
"Tch, whatever."
"… Right, understood."
"Good, we'll maintain distance just in case he has a large detection range." And if they somehow accidentally enter his range, he doubts he can get them out alive.
At least not against a demon like him.
To be continued.
There we go! It's short, but I hope this is enough to give hope that I haven't abandoned this yet. Thank you all for the support! And know that this has yet been abandoned! Also, do you guys don't mind if I use Naruto characters as substitute for OC's? Since I know some people hates OC's. But don't worry! I won't use them as pairing since, what's the point?
I was planning to give a showcase of Naruto's power, but I change my mind. I'll just give a soft hint~
