Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?
"So Naruto-sama will compete in the tournament?" asked Hanabi
Hanabi, Naruto and Kurama were talking about their familia and having Hanabi catch up on what she didn't know, which wasn't much
"Correct, but only on the exhibition match against monsters" explained Kurama
The tournament Shukaku held every year was getting closer it would happen in less than 10 days, speaking of which Kurama had to go see Matatabi to get her training for her job
"Do you know which kind of monster I will have to face?" asked Naruto "I would like to at least defeat them in the dungeon before fighting them in the arena"
"Sadly that would be impossible" said Kurama "The monsters in the tournament will be taken from the Suna dungeon in there the difficulty goes higher quicker, by the 5th floor the monsters are just as strong as monster from the 10th floor from the Konoha dungeon"
"Why is that dungeon so much quicker with difficulty?" asked Naruto
"It's shorter than the Konoha dungeon, it's not as short as the one in Uzu but it has been explored in its totality" explained Kurama "it's a 45 floor dungeon some compare it with the Konoha dungeon to try to find out what they will find in the lower floors"
"Maybe we should go to the Suna dungeon while we are there" said Hanabi "It would be a good practice"
"I think it would, and by then I will be strong enough to make it to the 12th floor of the Konoha dungeon" said Naruto
Naruto had been training really hard to become stronger, he had gotten all A in his stats he had even gotten an S in his speed this had surprised everyone when they found out, even Ino she had even asked if someone had gotten a S so fast before but it appeared no one had gotten to S so fast before
"You are strong enough to make it to floor 12, we just have t make it there" said Hanabi "You decided to stop on floor 9"
"Well today we'll go to floor 11 then" said Naruto "I want to test how strong I have gotten"
"Are you sure maybe you should take it slow and explore floor 10 first" said Kurama worried
"Don't worry Kurama-sama I'll be alright after all I'm really strong" said Naruto
"You shouldn't get so careless, you're still level 1 even a S in there is not really that strong" said Kurama
"I'll make sure we take it slowly Kurama-sama" said Hanabi calming Kurama
"That makes me feel better" said Kurama "Ok then go to floor 11, but be careful"
"We'll be" said Naruto "Let's get going Hanabi, it'll take us some time to get to floor 11 specially since we don't know where the stairs are in floor 10 so we better go early"
"See you later Kurama-sama" said Hanabi standing up and following Naruto that had already exited "wait for me Naruto-sama!"
"He's getting overconfident, I hope he doesn't end killed" said Kurama worried for her familia "Well I have to go see Matatabi, she said one week before the tournament but we still have to travel all the way to Suna I better go see her today"
Konoha dungeon floor 9
"I should warn you that the next floor is different than the rest we have explored so far" said Hanabi
"Different how so?" asked Naruto as they were approaching the stairs to floor 10
"Well you see how every floor till now are cavern like floors with a lot of corridors and sometimes big rooms" said Hanabi "the next floor has none of that"
Naruto stopped and turn around to look at Hanabi "That's pretty different, how does it looks like then?" asked Naruto
"Like a huge prairie" said Hanabi "a lot of open ground all around, some dead tress here and there. Even short grass grows in there; I don't know how since there's no sun light but it does"
"Speaking of which how is the dungeon illuminated anyways?" asked Naruto
"I know you know almost nothing about the dungeon, but that's just login Naruto-sama" said Hanabi "see those crystals in the wall, they emit light they are all over the place"
"Now that you say it, it makes perfect sense" said Naruto "But then how about the next floor it's a huge open ground there cannot be crystals in the walls"
"Remember those trees I mentioned they light up and there are some crystals in the ceiling even if it's way up high" explained Hanabi
"That must look really cool I want to go there" said Naruto hurrying forward to the next floor
"Naruto-sama don't leave me behind" said Hanabi running after Naruto
When they arrived at the stairs instead of the normal covered up stairs that were like a tunnel until you arrived to the other floor this time one of the walls was missing and you could look directly to the next floor
It was just as Hanabi described it, a huge open area with monsters roaming around in groups and even hiding behind rocks and other big objects
You could even notice the white trees all around that emit the light that was needed to explore the dungeon. It took them a few minutes to descend the long stairwell but Naruto could not remove the dumb look from his face he was really excited to explore this floor, he couldn't believe he had not come here sooner
"You should have told me of this sooner" said Naruto "This place looks awesome"
"It is but finding the stairs to the next floor is not that easy, all I know is that they are on one of the walls of the floor" said Hanabi "It'll lead to a corridor like in the other floors and in there we'll find the stairs"
"Then we should just hug the wall and explore?" asked Naruto
"Well I know is not near this stairs so we could cut some time by going through the middle" said Hanabi
"Ok then let's do it, we'll go this direction" said Naruto as he started walking "once we hit a wall we'll follow it to the next floor"
"We should be careful finding Orcs is easier and also sometimes monsters will come out from the ground" said Hanabi "We might even find a minotaur in here"
"Got it, let's start going then" said Naruto
Soon after that not even five minutes into the floor they were attacked by their first group of monsters
Goblins jumped from the ground where they were hiding some of them even had spears and leather armor, but since they were smaller than humans the spears were smaller as well
"That's new" said Naruto looking at the goblins with spears; they were holding them forward keeping him at bay
"I forgot, from this floor forward it will be more likely for goblins to hold new weapons we have not seen" said Hanabi throwing a kunai towards the goblin that was charging her hitting him in the head giving Naruto the chance to kill it "they range from spears, clubs and scimitars"
"Didn't we saw them with swords before?" asked Naruto avoiding the attack from a goblin to his side and moving forward to cut his head clean
"Those were short swords, this time they will be Scimitars, those are a different kind of sword" explained Hanabi "They will also start wearing armor of sorts but it won't get better than leather"
"I noticed that" said Naruto as he slashed through the leather armor of a goblin but didn't kill him "damn!"
Right before the goblin could counter attack Hanabi through a kunai right at the goblin's chest now that he had no armor hitting the crystal and killing him
"Thanks Hanabi" said Naruto this group was definitely harder than the ones before but not by much they hit him sometimes but they cleared them quickly
"Her you go Naruto-sama" said Hanabi handing Naruto a healing potion "If we're going to floor 11 you need to be on good conditions"
Naruto grabbed the potion and drank it healing the wounds the goblins had made "Much better. But I can't go drinking one of these every time we fight a group of goblins" said Naruto
"We just have to be more careful next time, aim to the exposed areas for the ones that have armor and avoid hits from the ones that don't" said Hanabi "I'm must worried for groups of different types of monsters"
Until now there had just been groups of the same type of monsters except for the time they used bait to call the monsters to that big room "Different types of monsters like what?" asked Naruto
"Well we could see an Orc with a small following of goblins or even some goblins with lizards and things like that" explained Hanabi "It'll be the same but we would have to deal with different types of attacks at the same time and it can get difficult"
"You are really knowledgeable of the dungeon Hanabi, I'm glad you're with me" said Naruto "If I were alone I would have probably dies the first time I ran with an Orc"
"With the amount of research you make of the dungeon probably" said Hanabi "I started studying a lot of about the dungeon as soon as I became a support. I knew a lot already from old books and stories back home but I also studied a lot"
"But still isn't the point of coming to the dungeon to explore it?" asked Naruto
"Eventually we'll arrive at floors that are not well documented but it'll take a little while. All the level one floors are really well documented because the guild wants to make sure that level one adventurers survive until they can handle things on their own" explained Hanabi "They make regular exploration quest so that adventurers help them document floors, high level adventurers sometimes also want to help out so they help with the documentation"
"That makes sense; Ino told me when I started that the guild wanted every adventurer to survive at the beginning I thought this just meant giving them stuff and advising them to certain floors but it seems it goes farther than that" said Naruto
"It does, adventurers are the main source of crystals there is, and without the crystals we wouldn't have a lot of the things we have now like electricity" explained Hanabi
"So how much of the dungeon is documented?" asked Naruto
"Surprisingly not much" said Hanabi "its well documented until floor 18 after that there is some data about monsters and other things but not as good as in the first 18 floors. It stops at floor 25 after that the data is almost none just some monsters if anything"
"And you have studied all that?" asked Naruto
"Not all of it, but I know enough to keep us safe in the level 1 floors" said Hanabi "Maybe you should study some of it as well Naruto-sama"
"Nah, I like the adventure, exploration and the surprise I get in every floor" said Naruto "just look around in this one, this vast open field that one could never imagine could be inside a place like this it's awesome"
Hanabi couldn't deny this place was pretty cool, but she would like it if Naruto did something to stay at least a little safer but before she could tell anything to Naruto they got interrupted by a roar behind them
They turned around to see what had made the noise, it had been an Orc that was charging them Naruto barely got out of the way of the orc but he was stabbed in the left arm by a goblin that had attacked after the orc
Naruto grabbed his knife with his other arm and killed the goblin quickly, they had been careless in their conversation they had not noticed their surroundings
"4 goblins and 1 orc" said Hanabi counting quickly around them, the orc was in front of them and the goblins had attacked from behind basically surrounding them in the middle "This is bad"
Naruto moved quickly before the orc could move again and closed the distance with one of the goblins killing it quickly making a hole in the formation "Hanabi moved through here, I'll distract the orc" said Naruto as he turned around again, he was in no condition to fight an orc one on one but he couldn't just ignore it so he had to hope that Hanabi could get the goblins
The orc was luckily unarmed the bad part is that now he had to pay attention to both his hands since he could attack with either one of them, Naruto moved closer and when the orc punched forward he ducked under the fist and moved behind the orc slicing him in the stomach while he moved to his back
The orc turned around to focus on Naruto launching a series of punches that left little room to evade but Naruto managed to avoid them until the orc launched a punch to where he was evading forcing Naruto to block with his arm, the strength of the impact sent him fling backwards
Meanwhile Hanabi was busy staying away from the goblins, it seem they had decided to focus her instead of helping the orc with Naruto, she was not that good fighting directly, she was a support she was better at making monsters get distracted or hurt so that they could not block or avoid the attacks from Naruto or dealing the final blow on a monster that Naruto had previously weaken. But in this particular situation she needed to kill the 3 goblins fast and without help, one had a spear and the other two had short swords, none had armor a point in her favor
Hanabi grabbed a smoke bomb and threw it to her feet concealing herself, she was glad she had bought one of those when they bought her new backpack some time ago
She threw several shuriken through the smoke she managed to hit two goblins one on the shoulder and the other in the chest, but none died
The goblins charged forward through the smoke but didn't find anyone, standing some distance to the side Hanabi threw a kunai at one of the goblins impacting the area of the crystal killing him
The goblins retaliated immediately moving forward, the one with the spear threw it towards Hanabi surprising her, the spear hit her shoulder making fall to the floor
"Naruto-Sama!" screamed Hanabi calling for help as she was in no position to get up in time
Naruto looked towards her "Hanabi!" said Naruto moving forward evading a strike from the orc as he did that he started to glow as he had done the day he saved Hanabi from the monster and just as back then he teleported right besides Hanabi, strangely enough the same spear that had hit Hanabi not long ago appeared where Naruto had been a second ago
The goblin with the sword jumped forward slashing down towards Hanabi, the spear that was besides Hanabi disappeared and Naruto appeared in its place slashing with his knife through the goblin's stomach, but with his sudden appearance he didn't notice the sword and the goblin while dying pierced directly through Naruto's right shoulder the sword coming out through the other side making Naruto scream in pain
"Naruto-sama!" screamed Hanabi worried for Naruto
The goblin exploded into dust leaving his crystal behind, Naruto felt down holding his arm, the other goblin and the orc closing the distance
"Run Hanabi… you can still escape" said Naruto in pain, there was no way he could run in his current state at least not fast enough
Hanabi didn't know what to say or what to do, she couldn't leave Naruto here she had to find a way to get him out of here but the more she thought about it the more hopeless it got
The goblin walked back and picked the sword from the goblin that had died first and started moving towards them, the orc let out a roar and the goblin stood his ground as the orc moved towards them it was just a matter of seconds before he reached them
"Just get away Hanabi! Hinata is waiting for you back home!" screamed Naruto getting up pulling the sword that was stuck in his shoulder out and facing the orc
Hanabi took two steps backwards not really sure on what to do she couldn't leave Naruto here to die but she could just go and die herself either but before she could make a decision something happened
"Fire ball jutsu!" screamed someone and a fire ball came flying directly to the orc engulfing him in flames then a girl with pink hair jumped in front of the goblin and punched him in the chest killing him in an instance
A guy with spiky black hair with a blue tint jumped in front of Naruto and made several movement with his hand and as the fire engulfing the orc began to extinguish he moved his hand to his mouth and said "Fire ball jutsu" throwing a fire ball from his mouth engulfing the orc on fire again and making him explode leaving only the crystal behind
"That's done" said the girl with the pick hair moving towards the boy "But, you could have just killed it with your sword Sasuke"
"You don't understand Sakura" said another guy as he approached, he had messy brown hair and vertical slit like pupils, fangs could be seen when he opened his mouth to talk "When you save a newbie you have to show off"
"It's not necessary to show off, only you boys do it" said the girl probably Sakura "It's better to be efficient and killing monsters quick"
Hanabi and Naruto were standing there seeing the interaction not knowing what to say, just standing there awkwardly
"What aren't you guys going to say thanks at least?" asked Sakura
"They're shocked just let them take it in" said the guy with the black hair
Hanabi calmed down first and understood what had just happened "Thank you for saving us" said Hanabi a little awkwardly
"You're welcome, by the way what's your name it's rare to find a kitsune here" said Sakura thinking Hanabi was a kitsune since she had her disguise on
"I'm Hanabi Hyuga and that is Naruto Uzumaki" said Hanabi
"I'm Sakura Haruno, the cool guy is Sasuke Uchiha and the werewolf is Kiba Inuzuka" said Sakura
"We decided to save you because Sakura ran to do so when she saw that you were in trouble" said Sasuke "But I would have preferred to not have a detour to our exploration"
"Come on Sasuke, saving a newbie from time to time is fun, it lets you show off and it's even better if it's a strong monster and the newbie shit his pants" said Kiba laughing after he finished
Just then Naruto felt the pain return to his arm he dropped the sword he had grabbed and hold his shoulder as he felt to the floor in pain
"You're really hurt let me help you" said Sakura walking closer she took a look of Naruto's injury and took a bandage out of her pouch, she proceeded to bandaged Naruto's injury "That should be enough for a little while, just take a healing potion when you have the time, but I would recommend you leave the dungeon for today"
"We got several healing potions" said Hanabi taking one out and handing it to Naruto who drank it he started to feel much better, but he still felt some of the pain in his arm
"We have lost enough time here, let's keep moving" said Sasuke as he started walking away
"Yeah whatever, come on Sakura" said Kiba as he followed Sasuke
"Those two are always in a hurry anyways don't come to floors in which you cannot fight in, be more careful" said Sakura moving to follow Sasuke and Kiba
Naruto and Hanabi just watched them go away for a few seconds
"That was weird" said Naruto
"I'm just glad they saved us, even with your skill activating we were in trouble there Naruto-sama" said Hanabi "Let's head back home, I think that's enough for today" and that's exactly what they did
Konoha guild
"You were lucky those guys were passing through" said Ino as they had finished reporting for the day "You should be more careful of your surroundings"
"We were caught by surprise, I'll make sure it never happens again" said Naruto
"Good to hear but still how you two were caught by surprise" said Ino "especially you Hanabi, you're the one that's always paying attention"
"I feel horrible for letting those monster caught us by surprise, I'll have to tell Kurama-sama she's probably going to kill me" said Hanabi
"And don't forget Hinata" said Naruto
"I'm not telling her, she would definitely kill me" said Hanabi shaking a little bit for imagining her sister's anger
"Anyways I'm happy that you are safe, but next time please be more careful" said Ino "By the way who did you say saved you?"
"A girl named Sakura, a guy named Sasuke and a werewolf named Kiba" said Hanabi
"That was a werewolf?" asked Naruto "It didn't seem that different from a human"
"Must races are pretty similar to humans, just look at me I barely look like a half-elf" said Ino
Naruto stayed quiet for a few seconds looking directly at Ino then his eyes opened up "You're a half-elf!?" asked Naruto in surprise
"You didn't know?" asked Ino "well yes I'm a half-elf, my mom is an elf and my father is a human"
"You were right Hanabi, who knows if anyone else I know is from another race" said Naruto
"You'll get better at noticing the differences with time" said Hanabi "when we travel to Suna you will probably see many people of all the races there"
"Oh yeah, you guys are going to the tournament held by Shukaku right?" said Ino remembering that Naruto told her some time ago
"Yep, I'll compete in the show match, Kurama-sama was pretty enthusiastic about me doing it" said Naruto
"Have you already filled your inscription?" asked Ino
"Inscription?" asked Naruto clueless
Ino almost face palmed "I knew something like this would happen, luckily for you I have an inscription form right here" said Ino looking through some papers and handing one to Naruto "you'll also have to pay an entry fee but that is done in Suna and you can do it the day before the tournament"
"Take the form with you and bring it tomorrow I'll sent it through the guild and you'll be in the tournament, that's how it's handled every year" said Ino
"I see I'll bring it tomorrow then" said Naruto "Thank you Ino"
With that Naruto and Hanabi went back to their homes
Decided to end it there, tell me what you thought
This is the last chapter of the year so Happy new year to everyone
