AN: Hey, the true chapter one is here!

Since I forgot to say it in the prologue, this is a Naruto x Harem pairing. Who exactly is in the pairing is already decided, and is not subject to change, unless I run across a problem in the plot. It will also remain secret for now. 'Cause I'm evil like that.

Without further ado, enjoy!

Chapter 1: Employment and … a Date?!

Naruto entered the administrative buildings and headed straight for the reception desk. There he saw a young woman, probably in her mid 20's, with long, teal colored hair, and one of the most impressive busts he'd seen in recent memory. Shaking his head slightly to clear it of those thoughts, he cleared his throat to get her attention.

Shizuna was working on her usual morning paperwork when she heard a light cough. Looking up she was met with the sight of one of the most handsome men she had ever seen. He was tall, handsome, and looked to be in good shape. She blushed lightly, realizing she was staring at the deliciously muscled torso visible through his rather form-fitting shirt. He merely smiled before speaking.

"Hello, I'm here to meet with the dean concerning a job offer. Could you direct me to his office, Miss…?" The woman blinked before introducing herself.

"Shizuna, Minamoto Shizuna. I'm the dean's aide, and also the school nurse." She said with a small smile. "The dean's office is right down the hall, there. I'll let him know you're here."

"Arigatou, Minamoto-san."

Konoe Konoemon, a short, elderly man with long, white hair in a ponytail and a beard of similar length and color, was enjoying the first cup of his morning coffee, when Shizuna alerted him to the arrival of his first appointment of the morning. Telling her to let him in, he prepared the necessary files and paperwork for the job interview he was about to conduct.

The door opened to admit a young man, tall and dressed mostly in black, who walked calmly to his desk before bowing. "Greetings, Dean-sama. I am here for the job interjview."

"Ah, yes, I was expecting you Uzumaki-kun. Please, take a seat," the dean said, gesturing to the chairs stationed in front of his desk. Once he was seated, he decided to cut straight to the chase. "So, you're applying for a teaching position, eh? Are there any particular subjects you want to teach?"

"Ah, well, I'm qualified to teach several languages, from Russian to Latin to English, and of course Japanese. Other than that, I would have to request a Physical Education class." Naruto replied.

"As I had hoped, then," the dean replied, stroking his beard. "How about I give you a P.E. class, as well as an assistant teaching position in one of our English classes? We recently hired a new, foreign teacher, and he is still quite young and inexperienced. As such, he will need some help, especially with some of the more…energetic students."

"I see, that sounds fine." Naruto paused here, taking the time to consider something that had been bugging him. "Dean-sama, may I ask 'why me?' I am grateful for the position, but it seems somewhat odd…especially considering that you contacted me about it. You also have not asked for my credentials yet."

The dean chuckled lightly at this. "My, Uzumaki-kun. You seem almost…suspicious of me. I was merely looking for someone to fill both positions, and you were…highly recommended by a mutual acquaintance of ours. Perhaps you remember him, his name is Sergei Bosklov."

Naruto immediately stiffened at the name. 'Sergei Bosklov!? Dammit, so much for a quiet, legitimate vacation.' Naruto thought back to his various meetings with the head of the Siberian Magic Association, before fixing the dean with a calculating stare. "Perhaps we should…properly introduce ourselves, then?"

Konoemon chuckled once more before speaking. "Of course. I am Konoe Konoemon, head of the Kanto Magic Association. Please, Uzumaki-kun, address me as 'Konoe-sensei'."

Naruto nodded slightly in acknowledgement. "I am Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, former Demon Lord of Makai's Eastern Forest Kingdom. Please, Konoe-sensei, call me Naruto."

Konoemon's eyes widened dramatically. "Demon Lord? I was aware of your…true nature, but I did not know you had attained Lordship."

"Former Demon Lord. And, well, I've never done anything half-assed," Naruto shrugged. "When I was a ninja, I aimed for the title of Kage. When I became a politician, I strove to become a Daimyo. As a demon, I would accept nothing less than Lordship. Now, what is your real reason for seeking my employment?"

"You are aware of Mahora's…magical significance?" At Naruto's nod, he continued. "The class you will be teaching is…unique, to say the least. It includes several students with great potential, including my own Granddaughter, Konoka. The teacher you will be aiding is the son of the Thousand Master, Negi Springfield."

"So, basically, I'm you're insurance policy for when things hit the fan, right?" Konoe nodded, and Naruto smiled. "Sounds like fun. When do I start?"

Konoemon chuckled again. "Term starts Monday, four days from now. Be here, in my office, to meet young Negi at 8 am sharp."

Standing, Naruto replied, "Alright, Monday 8 o' clock. I'll be there." He extended his arm to shake the dean's hand.

"Good. For today, I'll have Shizuna-kun show you around campus."

"I appreciate it."

Naruto and Shizuna were now walking side-by-side through the streets of Mahora, Shizuna pointing out notable locations and landmarks. It was nearing lunchtime, so they were wrapping up the tour in favor of getting a bite to eat. Sitting outside a café, Naruto decided to ask Shizuna something that had him wondering.

"Ne, Minamoto-san, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Uzumaki-kun, and please, call me Shizuna."

"Only if you call me Naruto," he replied with a smile, which Shizuna returned. "Anyway, I was wondering, what exactly did the dean tell you about me?"

"Nothing really, aside from your name and the fact that you knew about our more…secretive operations."

"I see…in that case, do you have any plans this Saturday?"

Shizuna seemed slightly surprised, before donning a somewhat melancholy smile. "I don't, but I'm afraid if you're asking for a date, I'll have to decline."

Naruto chuckled, "No, nothing like that. I'm not looking for a…romantic relationship at the moment. I just can't think of anything to do, and I thought we could take the chance to get to know each other better, since you are the only one in the area I know who is around my age." Naruto said, 'or, at least, my apparent age.'

"Hmmm…" Shizuna seemed to consider it for a moment, before nodding. "Well, if it's just as friends, then I don't see why not."

"Great, we can meet at the station at 10. I know this great restaurant on the mainland."

"Alright. I'll meet you there, then." Shizuna said, standing to return to her office. "Try and stay out of trouble till then, Naruto-kun."

"I'll do my best, Shizuna-san."

Post Note: *Gasp* Naruto is a Demon Lord?! Oh, my! This is my way of keeping things interesting, without completely destroying Akamatsu's plotline. Naruto won't be directly interfering much beyond occasionally training and advising the others (I mean, he's had 1000 years to build his power, if he did all the fighting, then Negi and Kotaro would never grow any at all), so I had to come up with something to keep him busy. The only ones he'll be fighting for sure are the Sukuna, Chao's Mecha-Demon's on the festival's third day, and any old enemies of his that may pop up. Jack Rakan is still on the fence (in terms of power, Naruto is stronger than Rakan or Nagi. But, he never goes all out (since he'd probably sink a continent if he did), so how powerful exactly is nearly impossible to say.).

And we see Naruto beginning to build the first of his relationships. Naruto x Shizuna will be mostly off screen, and isn't really important to the plot. The farthest it'll ever go is 'Friends-With-Benefits,' since Shizuna is really interested in Takamichi, and Naruto is hesitant to get romantically involved with anyone, being immortal and all.

Oh, and Sergei Bosklov is an OC who's only purpose in the story was to tell Konoemon about Naruto. So, you'll not be hearing of him ever again.
