(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or Fate/Stay Night)
"What changed your mind about the school?" Saber asked Naruto as her and Naruto walked the streets to the school. "My clone got a bad feeling about it today. I just want to make sure nothing bad is happening at the school" Naruto told her. "What about Jiraiya and Yugao? I thought they were coming with us" Saber said. "Their going by roof jumping. We can do the same, if you think you can keep up without being seen" Naruto told her.
"Shouldn't be a problem" Saber said as she jumped up to one of the roofs. 'Makes me feel like I'm on a mission back in the Elemental nations' Naruto thought before he followed.
Just outside the school
"You two got here faster than I thought you would" Jiraiya commented as Naruto and Saber landed next to him and Yugao just outside the schools gate. "We decided to run across the roofs" Naruto told them. "So where do we begin?" Yugao asked just before the group heard a scream come from the school. "I think where ever that came from is a good start" Naruto said before all four of them took off in it'd direction.
Minutes earlier
'The real Naruto should be hear by now. Maybe I should just pop myself?' the clone Naruto sent to school that morning thought to himself as he walked up the stairs. "Hm? Oh, Rin, you're still at school too huh?" Naruto casually asked the girl that stood at the top of the next flight of stairs.
"Unbelievable. Are you crazy, coming to school without your servant?" Rin asked as she folded her arms. "It would be hard for Saber to stay out of sight. So I had her stay home" Naruto told her. "Then you should've stayed at home" Rin told him. "A master strolling around without his servant may as well be holding up a sign that says, 'please kill me!'" Rin went on to explain.
"Emyia, do you have any idea how big of an idiot you are?" Rin asked with a small tilt of her head. "I'm sure you'll tell me. Anyway, masters don't fight where there's a lot of people. So there's no problem with me coming to school" Naruto said. "Let me ask you this then. Do you see any people here?" Rin asked him. "Just you and me here" Naruto said, already knowing that they were alone without looking around.
"This morning, I went past 'exasperated' and into 'pissed' territory" Rin started as she began to pull the sleeve on her left arm up. "After all I tolled him, why is he doing everything he can to get himself killed?" She went on.
"A magic crest" Naruto commented as he saw the marks on her arm. "Yes. This is the embodiment of the magics passed down in my family. I can activate any spell that's etched into this simply by passing mana through it" Rin said, showing him her magic crest. "I've sent Archer away. The Gandr shots in here should be enough for the likes of you" Rin told him.
"Looking to fight me huh? I've been wondering how well you would do in a fight. I only say you providing support last time" Naruto said as a scroll dropped from his sleeve and into his hand. "You plan to fight back then? I'm not surprised, but this isn't going to be a friendly match" Rin told him as she pointed at him.
"Sorry Emyia, but I'm going to deal with you right here. Besides, I don't think my nerves could handle it if you keep bumbling around like you did today. Say your prayers, Naruto!" Rin told him before firing a red and black ball of energy at him.
"Shit!" Naruto let out as he jumped to the side while he unraveled the scroll. 'One direct hit and our little match is over. I wonder how long I can keep this up?' Naruto thought as he slammed his hand into the back of the scroll, making kunai and shiriken fly out of it as Rin reached the bottom of the steps. "Not good enough!" Rin told him as she destroyed the weapons with her Gandr.
'It's a good thing I'm a clone' Naruto thought before he started running down the hall. "You could really hurt someone with those!" Naruto yelled back to the girl trying to kill him. "If you don't like pain, stand still? I'll put you down quickly! You'll die instantly if I hit a vital spot!" Rin yelled just before firing more blast at him, that hit a wall at the blond turned the corner.
"They don't seem very merciful to me" Naruto said as he landed at the bottom of the steps. "Oh, shut up! Quit running around then! I'm getting worked up because my target wont stand still!" Rin yelled as she used her magic circuits to strengthen her legs as she jumped off the wall to get a clean shot at Naruto. 'Shit!' Naruto thought as he brought out a large shiriken from the scroll to take the attacks.
Trying to buy himself time, Naruto rushed into a near by classroom and locked the doors. 'Her long range attacks are getting annoying. Why couldn't she be a close range fighter? At least then I wouldn't be on the defensive' Naruto thought to himself, just before he saw a magic circle form on the wall and the room light up in a red light momentarily.
'That can't be good' Naruto thought before pushing a desk over and hiding behind it. "Trace on" Naruto said as he used what little magical skills he had to reinforce the desk. As soon as he finished dozens of Gandr shots came blasting through the wall ans obliterating everything inside of the classroom.
'She's really determined to kill me' Naruto thought once the attacks stopped. "Wonder if she's out of mana" Naruto thought out loud, just before a blue gem came in through the window. 'Not good!' Naruto thought as he saw it glowing.
"Finally coming out, eh, Emyia?" Rin asked after Naruto came crashing through the classroom doors. "You know you don't have a chance of winning at this rate, Emyia" Rin told him. "To bad for you, I'm to stubborn to give in like this"
"Really now? This is your final warning. Hold out your command seals. At worst, I'll strip out the nerves in your arm, but better than losing those than your life" Rin told him. "I can't do that. I made a promise to Saber. A promise that we'll fight together, and as long as that promise means anything, I can't give up my command seals" the blond told her.
"I see. I'll give you three seconds" Rin said as she pointed at him. "It's your life, so it's your decision" Rin said as she formed a Gandr at the tip of her finger. 'Looks like this is as long as I could make the fight last. I just wish I could see the look on her face when she finds out I'm a clone' Naruto thought. "That's three seconds, Emyia. What's your decision?" Rin asked just before they heard a scream.
"That was?" Naruto said as he looked for the source. "A scream? Right?" Rin asked as Naruto took off to find the person. "Hey! Emyia!" Rin said as she followed him.
Outside walkway connecting to of the buildings
"She's been drained of blood" Naruto said as he feed her a solider pill. "That should help her get some blood back, but I don't know if it'll be enough" Naruto told Rin. "I should be able to stabilize her with the stones I have on me" Rin said as she knelt down to the girl and pulled out her gem stones.
'Something doesn't feel right' Naruto thought as he looked towards the woods. "Rin, look out!" Naruto told the girl as he used his body to shield her. "W-what is this?" Rin asked as she looked at the nail and chain like weapon coming out of the blonds shoulder. "Don't know, but it looks like our fight is over" Naruto got out before he turned into a cloud of smoke.
"He, was a clone?" Rin said to herself. "Yeah! Now make sure the girl is okay! We'll deal with the servant!" Naruto said as he, Saber, Jiraiya, and Yugao ran past the young magus. 'Knew her expression would be priceless' Naruto thought as he glanced back at her dumbfounded look.
Woods
"Keep your eyes open. They'll be here somewhere" Jiraiya told the others. "Will do" Naruto said immediately before he had to deflect an attack as the servant game in to strike him. "fast aren't you?" Naruto said as he looked at the servant that rushed past him. The woman had long light purple hair, a black and purple outfit that had Jiraiya's nose bleeding slightly, and a purple blindfold over her eyes.
"It seems I wasn't fast enough to catch you off guard" the woman said as she saw the strands of purple hair the blond held in his hand. As soon as she finished saying this, she vanished into the tree's to avoid an attack by the others.
"Are you going to attack from the shadows like a coward?" Saber asked as she held her sword ready for an attack. However, her question effected the shinobi she was fighting along side more than the enemy servant. "You know, fighting from the shadows is part of being a shinobi, right?" Naruto asked his fellow blond. "I have a hard time imagining you fighting like that" Saber told him. "I never said all shinobi fought like that" Naruto told her.
"If I were to stay and fight, then yes. But four on one isn't vary favorable for me" the servant told them. "Let Shinji know that I want to talk to him when you get back to him" Naruto said into the wood, but received no reply. "I wonder if she heard me?" Naruto questioned as he stood there.
"Emiya!" Rin called out as she ran up to the group. "Oh, Rin" Naruto calmly said as she girl came up to him. "What's with that tone!? You were just attacked by an enemy servant!" Rin told him. "She left already. Didn't want to fight so many of us" Naruto told her. "That doesn't mean you can let your guard down!" Rin nearly yelled at the blond.
"Should we stop them from arguing?" Yugao asked as she stood between Saber and Jiraiya. "I'm not getting in the way of a lovers quarrel" Jiraiya told her. "Another one of your jokes?" Saber asked. "Ha! You're starting to learn aren't cha?" Jiraiya asked her.
Rin's house
"To put it simply, there's another master at the school in addition to us, picking off students like that one again and again" Rin explained as her, Naruto, and Saber sat in one of her sitting rooms. "Shinji" Naruto said. "Huh? Shinji? You already know who it is?!" Rin questioned. "Yeah, I found out yesterday. I need to deal with him before he hurts anyone else" Naruto told her.
"I just want to know why he's attacking students" Naruto said. "To win the Holy Grail war, of course. His plan is to sacrifice all the students to strengthen his own servant" Rin explained. "Aaahh! That idiot! I thought I had convinced him to be better, but the moment he gets some power he's back to being the same old bastard he was!" Naruto complained.
"Well, regardless of what ever past you have with Shinji, he's already set up a bounded field around the school. Once it's activated, everyone inside will probably grow weak and die" Rin told him.
"You might reject it offhand since it's coming from me, but I think we should call a truce" Rin offered. 'A truce? This could give me the time I need to convince her to give up on the grail' Naruto thought. "I don't have a problem with it, but Saber has to agree as well. I won't enter into a partnership without her approving as well" Naruto said as he looked to his side at the blond girl.
"I have no problem agreeing to this truce if it'll help us get the grail" Saber told him. 'Right. Still have to convince her to give up on the grail as well' Naruto thought. "Well, you heard her. We'll except your truce" Naruto told her.
"Good. So until we deal with Shinji, we'll have a truce. As long as you don't turn on me, I'll have your back, Emiya" Rin told him. "If that's all I need to do to have an alliance with you, then I'll have your back forever!" Naruto said as he held out his hand. "Ha, it won't be for quite that long, but try to make yourself useful" Rin said with a slightly flushed face as she shook his hand.
Some time later
"I get it now. You aren't a legitimate heir. Your father died before he could pass on his magic crest" Rin said as she stood next to the wall with a tea cup in her hand. "He wouldn't have passed his magic crest to me even if he could. He was always against me becoming a mage" Naruto told her.
"Isn't that contradictory?" Rin asked. "Maybe. He only ever taught me magic because I was already training to be a shinobi. Though chakra isn't the best for magic. You need roughly double the amount of chakra to cast a spell then you do magic. It's the same for someone that has magic circuits that's trying to use jutsu" Naruto told her.
"It's why I never advanced past basic spells. The only kind of magic I'm any good at is reinforcement, and that's just because it's useful when I'm using a weapon" Naruto further explained. "Hey, hold on! Why would you even tell me that?!" Rin asked him. "It's only basic magecraft. I have a bunch of shinobi skills you still don't know about" Naruto told her.
"That's not the point" Rin said as she slammed the cup down onto it's plate. "A mage should always keep his arts secret" Rin told him. "He's never been very good at keeping his skills hidden" Jiraiya commented from his seat across from Naruto. "I don't see the point in hiding it. Old man Kiritsugu always said that magic isn't something you should go out of your way to hide" Naruto added, which surprised Rin.
"He seriously said that?" Rin asked. "Yeah. He also told me to quit if I wanted" Naruto told her. "Oh come one! Your father was no mage! I wont recognize you as a mage if you were trained by him!" Rin told him. "Why are you getting so mad? I never said I was a mage in the first place, and the old man was able to use magecraft like any other mage" Naruto told her.
"That's not what I mean. I'm trying to say" Rin started before she calmed herself down. "It's your lack of training that I have a problem with" Rin said as she folded her arms. "I'd gladly start training again, but I don't have anyone to teach me now that he's dead" Naruto told her. "Yes, that's the inherent limit of a single mage. Mages never know when they're going to die, so they leave behind a magic crest" Rin said.
"I was angry at your father for not taking any steps to prepare for that. Magic is the fruit of lifetimes of labor, handed down from parent to child for generation after generation. The instant that a child is born into a mage family, that child becomes both heir and successor. That is what we are born for, and that is what we die for. It is the duty of a mage family to take the human child that they gave birth to and, over long years of rigorous training, turn it into something else entirely" Rin explained.
"That is why your father was no mage, Emyia. He decided to put being a father ahead of being a mage" Rin told him. "I understand the basics of what you're saying. It happens with shinobi families in my world all the time, but I just can't agree that it should be put over being a parent" Naruto told her. "I had a feeling you would say something like that, but at least you understand what I'm saying" Rin told him.
"It's getting late. We should head home before Taiga ans Sakura start to worry" Jiraiya said. "Agreed" Yugao said as the four stood up. "It was nice talking with you Rin" Naruto said as they left the room.
