Accompanied by her trusty doll: Chacazero, Evangeline in her teen form watching holo-screen floating before her showing image of her intended apprentice. It's become her newest daily entertainment for her to watch and learn more about her charge.
Sipping her wine she watched the boy that no older than 8th year old scaling the huge tree bark avoiding assault from pack of four tiger-sized wild hybrid-wolfs before returning the favor by his own methods.
Thin blades of wind sprang from his outstretched left fingers creating image of five thin blades claw on his finger like her own technique, the 'Ensis Exequens'.
Sudden drop from the boy surprising the wolf pack costing them two casualties via severing the head of two pack member, followed by another blades sprang from the boy another hand cleaved another two hybrid wolf left.
She already watched the boy almost three days after she finished her time to read the letter and document that left for her from the said the boy teacher, make her fascinated by the origin of the boy source of power.
"He managed to kill them in one swoop?" she smiled as the boy stripped the carcasses, four hybrid-creature that live at her forest dissected used the boy hidden knifes with care separated from meat, bones, claws and organs before disappeared within what she identified as sealing scroll.
"Hmmm… self preservation, check… thinking ahead, check… experience against enemy in large number, check… optimizing terrain and surrounding, check… looting from enemy belonging, check… darn, Koku drive most the basic for him"
Burying her temper toward the said man, she managed to finish reading his writing about the boy daily occurrences. She may self-claim her self as 'Dark Witch', but she will not forget how many similarities shared between her and the intended apprentice.
"Damn that wretched man! He knows many things that not supposed to known by anyone alive…" her curse more pronounce after she witnessed the boy able to survive more than month within her preservation forest of lebenschilt castle that she built at her dark time as witch and Shinso.
Drive and will to survive, imagination and creativity of technique usage, self-preservation against enemy, hunger for knowledge (She saw the boy/Naruto, devour her tome like voracious beast devour his prey), gigantic energy reserve either Chi-Mana-Spiritual and Natural within his body, and still young to be molded become fine man.
She unable to resist herself to not re-call or gloat to her many associate that the she found another apprentice that will inherit her skill. Unlike her previous disciple that inherits her magic style, this one will inherit her drive to survive and her scholar tendency toward knowledge's.
"Well… let's see how this boy will spread my name in his home world" She let out her trade-mark dark-witch laugh.
"Yaayyy… mommy found another plaything…" Chacazero let her own happiness seeing her master in happy mood.
Ancient Preservation Forest, one of Evangeline Training facility.
Panting heavily, Naruto scaled the tree beside rocky cliff before him evading the chase of another Wolf-Hybrid hunt upon him. Those hybrids-wolfs start to chase him after his last encounter with the horned hybrid-wolf early days ago, and they still cashing him to his current position, jutting rock at the cliff side as his current hiding place.
"Damn those persistent fur-balls! They didn't know when to quit chasing me, even I cant have more time to read more of the tome content" he cursed out loud seizing more pack rabid beast below him, only let out more curse to see bigger hybrid-wolf with black-red fur at certain distance observing his action.
"That's it! I have enough for this goose chase! They are dead meat along their alpha!" roared angry Naruto, his mastery upon Fuuton/Wind-Release: Kaze no Yaiba/Wind Blade showing result of his hard work, even he haven't reach the appropriate level to control his wind output, he manage to create long thin blade from each finger and enveloping his leg as protective measure as he dropped his altitude from hanging at cliff toward packs of beast below.
His unexpected drop managed to startle the pack and resulting dead of three beasts mutilated by his energy blades.
Enraged with their pack member dead in human hand, the rest of beast packs pounced up on equally frustrated and enraged boy.
Bloods sprayed the vicinity along with entrails of the packs mutilated bodies, of course Naruto body having more than small wound, most his back, arm and legs has many laceration and deep gouge on them testament his survival are not cheap.
Heaving and grimacing as he feels the Kyuubi healing chakra property start to work from within the Beast encampment seal toward the most biggest damage he receive from the Hybrid packs, he also noting the black-red furred hybrid-wolf moved toward his position.
He mentally cursed his stupidity to charge head on toward his enemy, he let Kyuubi chakra do its jobs as he start to build his own tactics and wit against this new enemy. He knew that this one is their leader aside from difference of fur color or body-size, there is certain energy emanating from the beast, making him itching to concentrate his spiritual energy to activating his eyes, the Magan.
Sniffing the air around for moment, the red wolf start to circling area around, Naruto that already majority his wound healed leaving only superficial scratches left. As the wolf scanning his surrounding, Naruto mind already preparing many ways to increase his survival against the prowling canine that starts to entered his peripheral vision.
Lines appear for his vision as Naruto channel his spiritual energy toward his eyes, earning growl and snarl from the red beast that prowling around him ready to pounce.
Carefully channeling his last chakra reserve to his leg and arms, he dashed toward the beast that eager to maul him.
Beast POV
Watching his prey shooting at him with clear intent to kill, the wolf sprang his claw-strike happily, unknown that his moves are his last move he ever made.
When his claws hit the prey body, the prey vanished from his visual and he found his prey scent that the prey already behind him and feeling that many cold wind caressing his fur.
Normal POV
Enhance his dashing move with his last reserve, Naruto pull his technique out. His hand move in incredible speed making chain reaction for his wind blades slashing the air in front of him create vacuum blades that hold still in place before pivoting his step and jumped upward evading the beast claws strikes. All move executed under second.
The unaware beast unable to catch his movement dove straight into vacuum blades formation that Naruto left behind, resulting many piece of the beast left on his own pooling blood.
Letting deep breath out Naruto slumped in place unable to move, his arms and legs are burned from inside for consequence for using his last move.
He realize that his small body still in growth condition and still unable to move in that speed, but he forced them with his last reserve resulting him gotten chakra exhaustion and many his muscle ligament torn from inside.
Combined by many stressful encounter with forest inhabitant, lack of rest and secure place, overusing Kyuubi chakra for healing his many injuries, and fatigue finally reached breaching limit, he fainted unceremoniously on spot without care for more forest inhabitant that still scouring the area.
While he unconscious, faint red glow emanating from his navel showing image of red nine-tailed fox who unleashed massive growl freezing many beast that ready to threaten the fox host, except one creature that always following the Kyuubi host since he arrive into the forest from far distance without alerting the said Host/Naruto or the hybrid-wolf pack that always hunting him.
