I don't own Naruto or Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?
"You almost got killed again!?" asked Kurama really worried about her familia Naruto and Hanabi had just finished telling here what had happen in the dungeon earlier that day "And getting caught by surprise I would expect that from Naruto but you Hanabi you're supposed to be paying attention to the surroundings"
Hanabi looked down to the floor not really knowing what to say in her defense
"It was my fault I distracted Hanabi before the attack occurred" said Naruto "I'll make sure to be more careful next time"
Kurama sighted not really being able to stay angry for long "I understand, just promise me that you won't be caught like that again" said Kurama
"But this attack might have got us some more info on Naruto's ability" said Hanabi
"What do you mean?" asked Kurama curious
"During the fight I got in trouble and a will to protect activated again and I noticed something" said Hanabi "I was attacked with a spear that felt off a little later, when the skill activated the spear disappeared and Naruto-sama appeared in its place"
Kurama raised her hand to her face in a thinking position "So you think that Naruto doesn't really teleport but in reality his using a kind of substitution?" asked Kurama
"The first time it activated I didn't noticed anything, but he might have changed places with something" said Hanabi
"Is this really important?" asked Naruto not really understanding
"It's somewhat important, because when you turn level 3 you will be able to use it on your own and selecting something to change with could be a big thing" said Kurama "Of course this is just a theory we won't know for sure until you turn level 3"
"I think I get it, if it indeed works like that maybe I could even change places with Hanabi" said Naruto "Until now we both have been in trouble changing places would have not work, but maybe if it's only the second person that's in trouble I could get them out of there"
Kurama looked a little surprised by Naruto's reasoning "You know, you might be right this could even be use on the offensive if that's the case, you could switch with someone to get closer to an opponent" said Kurama
"If that's the case then this skill is awesome!" said Naruto excited for finally understanding his own skill at least if their theory was correct
"It could even be possible to combine it with other skills if you get any other one in the future" said Hanabi
"Speaking of that do you know any way to get skills Hanabi?" asked Naruto "I would want to get more if possible"
"I don't really know skills are thing that just happen, even I could get a skill for no particular reason, they just happen" explained Hanabi "but some say that doing some things like killing the same monster an absurd amount of times in a day could get you a skill"
"Like killing 200 goblins in a day?" asked Naruto to which Hanabi nodded "That's too much"
"And apart from that some skills get locked and can never be gotten in higher levels and others are locked until you are a certain level" said Hanabi
"I wouldn't recommend killing 200 goblins in a day it seems too tiring and apart from that we don't know if it works" said Kurama worried that Naruto might try doing it
"Yeah even if you did it, it might not until you are another level you would have to try every time you level up just to see if the rumor is true" said Hanabi
"On the other hand getting magic or jutsus is easier" said Kurama "You just have to study special scrolls or books, you might even get one for no particular reason just like a skill"
"This is really complicated" said Naruto "Getting stuff for no reason; I wouldn't think it works like that they must have a reason to happen"
"Who knows even we gods don't really know how it works" said Kurama "We just know that anyone with chakra can get them for some reason"
"Gods have chakra as well does that mean they can get skills?" asked Hanabi
"Not skills but we can learn jutsus like the one I taught you the other day and of course we can tap on our godly powers if needed" said Kurama "But it's technically a secret among gods how each one does it so I can't tell you about that"
"I understand I won't ask about it then" said Hanabi "Well I have to start heading out back home see you tomorrow Naruto-sama, Kurama-sama"
"See you tomorrow Hanabi" said Naruto
"Stay safe" said Kurama and with that Hanabi headed back home
"By the way Kurama-sama apparently I have to fill an inscription for the tournament, why didn't you told me about it?" asked Naruto
Kurama suddenly froze coming to the realization that she had forgotten about that "I forgot" said Kurama
"It doesn't matter Ino gave this form that I have to fill and hand it to her tomorrow so its fine" said Naruto
"Good then that's settled, remember were leaving in a few days so make a lot of progress in the dungeon while you can" said Kurama "You want to get a good showing in the tournament"
"I'll be sure to do the best I can" said Naruto after that Kurama updated his stats where he didn't have anything new, his stats did go up but they didn't ranked up to S or SS
Konoha dungeon floor 10 – the next day
Naruto and Hanabi had made it all the way back to floor 10 in less time that the day before this time they would make sure to at least meet their goal of making it to floor 11
It was pretty quiet until a pack of goblins jumped from the ground surprising them, but they quickly got in position to deal with them and then carefully killed them one by one
"And the last one" said Naruto as he killed the last goblin "This was easier than yesterday"
"We haven't crossed paths with an Orc yet today" said Hanabi "Or even worse a Minotaur"
"Yeah that's weird we've not seen a Minotaur even once this whole time" said Naruto
"Maybe it's just luck I'm not really sure if we'll be able to defeat one, specially with just a small knife and some throwing weapons" said Hanabi
"We'll be fine, if it turns out that we can't defeat him we just have to run way" said Naruto but before Hanabi could say anything she saw an Orc moving in front of them
"Orc right in front of us" said Hanabi looking around to see if there was another monster around which she found some "There also appeared to be some goblins behind him, 4 of them"
"Then let's get the jump on them before they see us if we kill two goblins in one strike the rest will be easy" said Naruto
"Ok then here you go" said Hanabi handling one kunai to Naruto so that he had two weapons "Better safe than sorry"
"This is the plan, I'll run forward and before they can react I'll kill two of the goblins after that we'll see what happens" said Naruto
Hanabi almost faced palmed with the half baked plan Naruto proposed "The start is fine but after you kill the two goblins focus on the other two, I'll distract the Orc until you finish that and then we'll deal with the Orc together" said Hanabi
"I don't know it sounds dangerous for you" said Naruto worried for Hanabi
Hanabi smiled at Naruto and raised a hand forward speaking even more cheerfully "Don't worry I can handle myself and you'll be there to save, right?"
"Of course I won't let you die in here Hanabi" said Naruto "Let's do it then"
"I'll stay a little behind to buy me some time, you just make sure to kill them fast" said Hanabi Naruto nodded "In that case let's begin"
Naruto ran forward as soon as Hanabi finished talking before the monsters could notice him he had already threw the kunai through one of the goblin's head killing him in an instance and then cut the head of a second one clean
The goblins immediately retaliated drawing their weapons one had a spear and the other one a scimitar, Naruto looked at the Orc quickly to evaluate him and he noticed this wouldn't be easy at all
The orc was wearing a chest plate with large spikes in his shoulders and was wielding a huge hammer he also moved towards Naruto but soon enough a barrage of shuriken hit him on the back of his head and legs making him turn to Hanabi
"Hey green face, focus on me for now!" said Hanabi grabbing his attention making the Orc run towards her
Meanwhile Naruto was dealing with the goblins the one with the spear charged forward but Naruto evaded to the side and cut the spear clean with his knife making it unusable
The goblin quickly drew a small dagger he carried in his leather armor as defense the one with the scimitar move forward and slashed several time but Naruto evaded them all, he had fought enough goblins to understand how they tended to move when they attacked
Naruto went in and killed the one with the scimitar, the one with the dagger seem to be scared but Naruto quickly disposed of him then he looked around really quickly and grabbed the kunai that Hanabi had gave him and ran in the direction she had went
Hanabi had found out that kiting the Orc was easier than expected, he stopped whenever he swung his hammer making it easy to evade him, she had been evading his blows really easy but she knew she couldn't keep it on she would tire out before him luckily enough she saw a kunai flying directly at the Orc hitting him in the arm he turned to see Naruto running toward him
The orc quickly swung his hammer horizontally trying to catch Naruto as he was getting closer but Naruto ducked under the hammer and then proceeded to make a deep cut on the orc's left leg
"Are you ok Hanabi?" asked Naruto standing up behind the orc ready to continue combat
"Yeah this big guy is pretty slow, but if you had arrived later than now I might had been in trouble" said Hanabi getting ready to support Naruto
"Well I'm here now" said Naruto avoiding an over head swing from the orc's hammer and moving to do another deep cut on the orc's leg this time the right one "Any idea on how to deal with the chest piece?"
"Not many but if you could disarm him we could be able to aim for his head" said Hanabi throwing some kunai but most of them bounced on the chest piece
Naruto quickly caught the orc's attention making another cut on his leg, the orc tried reaching for Naruto with his left arm while he kept his hammer in his right arm but Naruto was way too slippery for him to catch
Naruto made use of the situation and made a quick cut on the right arm making the orc drop the hammer and scream in rage as he tried to punch Naruto with his left arm
Naruto evade the attack and quickly jumped up stabbing the orc's head but that didn't kill him
Hanabi proceeded to throw some shuriken aimed at the orc's head but only two got to the mark "I'm out" said Hanabi moving further back keeping an eye in case another monster tried to join the fight
"I think I got an idea" said Naruto running forward the orc was trying to pick his hammer up but when he saw Naruto he once again tried with a barrage of punches missing which enraged him more but Naruto ducked down and stabbed where the chest piece didn't cover, the orc's stomach and then slicing to the side making a pretty big cut in the orc that proceeded to fall over and explode leaving the crystal behind
Immediately after this happen Naruto and Hanabi heard a whistle they turn around to noticed the same group that have saved them the day before
"It seem the rookie is not half bad" said Kiba "Although I could have killed that thing way faster"
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Hanabi looking at them
"Well we saw you fighting that group and I got worried something might happen" said Sakura
"then she asked us to keep an eye on you while you fought, although it seem it was a waste of time you were fine after all" said Sasuke unimpressed
"Thanks for the help yesterday and keeping an eye on us today, but we didn't really needed the help today" said Naruto "as you can see we had it under control"
"I wouldn't call that under control" said Kiba "if it hadn't been for the little kitsune you would have probably died with your stupid plan"
"You would have probably done worse than me" said Naruto "After all if I remember correctly it was your friend that killed the monster yesterday not you"
Kiba got annoyed at that "Do YOU want to try me?" asked Kiba raising his hand showing his claws "Come on I dare you"
Sakura got in between them, raising her hand in a calming motion "Now, now let's calm down we don't want to kill each other" said Sakura
Kiba lowered his hand but his eyes stayed fixed in Naruto "Fine but he was the one that would have died" said Kiba
"Let's get moving, we already lost too much time here" said Sasuke "It seem they will be fine so you can worry less now Sakura"
"You're right; anyways sorry for bothering you" said Sakura "We'll get moving"
Naruto and Hanabi observed as they went away soon enough they saw an orc charging towards the group Hanabi was about to warm them when Kiba opened his hand and pretty much impaled it through the orc's chest when the orc exploded he was holding the crystal in his hand, he turned around and threw it to Naruto
"Keep it, I don't need this low level crystal" said Kiba moving with his team towards the stairs of the next floor
Hanabi was surprised by how easily he had killed the orc if all three of them were that strong they had a long way to go before they could go to the lower floors
Naruto on the other hand was staring at the crystal in his hand then he turned to Hanabi with a serious face that transformed into a goofy one "Did you saw that, I want to do that someday, just stabbing an orc with my hand I wonder how strong I would have to be to do that" said Naruto excited
Hanabi nearly felt to the floor not expecting that before she responded "I don't really know but I think you won't be able to since you are not a werewolf"' said Hanabi
"Damn that looked so cool" said Naruto kicking the floor "anyway let's keep going let's at least find the stairs to the next floor for today, we'll go there tomorrow"
"Remember we have to take the inscription paper to Ino-san later" said Hanabi "So we should exit sometime soon"
"I know, so let's find the stairs fast" said Naruto moving on into the floor
Soon enough they found the stairs into the next floor Naruto wanted to go and explore it but they decided that it would be better to do it tomorrow
Ichiraku pub
After finishing up with Ino and giving her the inscription form Naruto said that they should go eat somewhere and he suggested Ichiraku pub, Hinata already knew that she didn't had to act like Hanabi's sister whenever Hanabi had her disguise on to keep the façade on, although Naruto wondered why no one found it weird that a kitsune that looked like a Hanabi was also called Hanabi, maybe they should have thought on a fake name but it was probably too late for that, somehow it had worked wonders till now
It would take some days until Kurama finally explained to Naruto that Kitsune normally had fake names and used the names of other peoples to hide their real names, it was mostly just as a prank that only they understood but it was known that they only told their real names to people they really trusted and that's why the disguise was perfect but for now Naruto still wondered why they hadn't thought on another name
After Naruto and Hanabi sat down to eat Hinata quickly attended them bringing them food, ramen really since Naruto always ordered ramen and Hanabi just like that over the other things in the menu
The pub was mostly empty right now only a few adventurers but with his frequent visits Naruto already knew that it wouldn't take long for it to fill up it was right around the time it got full
"You two will be heading to Suna soon right?" asked Hinata that had nothing to do right now
"Yeah we'll be heading out in a few days" said Naruto
"I was actually wondering if I could go as well" said Hinata
Hanabi looked at her "Why would you want to go there?" asked Hanabi
"I want to go spent some time with my sister that will be in Suna for the tournament" said Hinata "it's been some time since we had quality time"
"But what about your job?" asked Hanabi
"I already asked Teuchi-san he said it was fine that I should really get this time to try to catch up with my sister" said Hinata
"That would be great I don't really mind bringing you along Hinata" said Naruto
"Me neither it would really be great if you could pass some time with your sister" said Hanabi
"Just tell me when you guys head out and I'll be there to go with you" said Hinata "I'm really excited to see suna, they say some beautiful flowers grow in some indoor gardens in Suna"
"I thought Suna was in a desert, not many flowers grow in there" said Naruto
"They do grow flowers a lot of pretty rare flowers at that, it would be great to go see them" said Hanabi looking forward to going there with Hinata
"Well I have to return to work talk to you later guys" said Hinata returning to her job
Naruto and Hanabi continued eating and when they were done they paid and left back to their homes but when they exited the pub they saw some persons they didn't expected
"It seem that we keep crossing each other, eh rookie" said Kiba that was headed to the pub with Sakura and Sasuke
"I have a name you know, it's Naruto" said Naruto
"Until you show me you aren't a rookie I'll keep calling you rookie, rookie" said Kiba
"I'll show you that I'm not a rookie, I'm competing in the tournament Shukaku host after all" said Naruto
Kiba actually looked somewhat surprised at this "You competing at the tournament?" asked Kiba
"Only on the monsters exhibition match" explained Hanabi
"But I'll make sure to win that" said Naruto
"Hah the exhibition match, that thing were they time you on how fast you kill a monster and how strong is the monster you kill" said Kiba "That's a cake walk"
"Aren't you also competing in that as well?" asked Sakura which make Kiba freeze and looked at Sakura with a look that said 'you weren't supposed to say that'
"Yeah I'll be competing at that" said Kiba "And you know what I'll do it even better than you"
"I would like to see you try" said Naruto accepting the challenge
"You two should calm down, after all Sasuke is competing as well and he's way better than you two" said Sakura
Kiba turned around to look at Sasuke surprised "What!? Why didn't you tell me you were competing?" said Kiba "no matter we can still make a competition out of this"
Sasuke sighted and looked at Sakura "I shouldn't have tell you now he's going to drag me into he's annoying competition" said Sasuke "I'm just doing it to test my strength I need to face strong monsters to become stronger"
"I don't care" said Kiba "How about this, the losers of the tournament have to do whatever the winner wants them to do for a whole day"
Naruto grinned and raised his fist "I'm in; I'm really waiting to get you to go on all fours through the village all day. Oh and with a leash on" said Naruto
"I won't lose so I won't have to do that because I will win" said Kiba looking directly at Naruto
"Then you're in?" asked Naruto for confirmation
"Yeah I'm in, you'll have to wear a dress and hold a sign that will say, Kiba is the best and I'm dumb" said Kiba then he turned to Sasuke "And what about you Sasuke"
"I don't compete in absurd competitions" said Sasuke "Now leave me alone"
"No nothing of that" said Kiba "You're competing you want it or not"
"Yeah I need someone to walk dog face around Konoha it would probably be weird if I do it myself" said Naruto
"Then it's settled" said Kiba "I'm really waiting for my victory rookie"
"I'll show you who you're calling rookie, dog face" said Naruto
Both Kiba and Naruto stared at each other with eyes that showed that they wouldn't back down from this, that they were both sure that they would win. It was a real competition and the winner would be decided in a few days when the tournament in Suna occurred
Decided to end it there, tell me what you thought
Sorry for the delay but it was hard to get in the mood to write after the holidays but now I think I have it back
Also the poll results are in and the new name for the story is: Naruto: The fox's familia. I'll change the name in the next few day before the next update so if you saw it change that's why
