Ninja Beyond Gods Prologue
The sun was rising on the horizon as its light shined upon the world. The light slowly crept into the window of the land's inhabitants. The light of life, the light that signified that the day started as living beings who rested when the night of ebony was present stirred awake. The beings that thrived in the darkness of the night went back to sleep as the chirping sounds of birds could be heard. Some appliances and vehicles could also be heard as people left for work as some prepared for the day ahead.
One of these individuals was woken up by the sun's rays caressing his face as his eyes slowly opened and his eyelids barely moved. It looked like their eyes were squinted as if adjusting to the output of light in their room. A soft moan could be heard from them as they stirred and got out of their bed by pushing their blankets to the side as they slowly rose to their feet. They walked into their bathroom and opened the sink as they poured the cold water on their face. The cold liquid dissipates their morning haze as the contrast in temperature seems to jolt them awake fully. They closed the water of their sink and rose their face into the mirror hanging above the sink.
The mirror revealed a teenager with short but spiky blonde hair male. His fair peach-colored skin gave a warm inviting look as he brushed some of his hair to the side revealing three whisker-like birthmarks on each side of his face. His eyes were a deep abyssal amethyst purple. After he finished brushing his teeth, the boy left the bathroom and took a look at his bedroom. It was clean and in order. His easel was close to his window which had some natural light. It was great for when he painted. The desk still had his drawing supplies and pen. The chair was pushed in so that it didn't take up space when he didn't use it.
This room was his safe haven, the boy walked towards his drawer and began getting dressed for the day. He put on his black blazer with the white undershirt. The blazer had an insignia for Kuoh Academy. He put on the black pants that were part of his school uniform along with the black dress shoes that were also part of it but not before putting on a pair of white socks. The boy walked to his coat rack, took his school bag from it, and opened it to see if he had all his school supplies. It took around two minutes but he had everything. He grabbed his wallet and saw if it had everything. He had his Student ID card which read his name.
''Naoto Uzumaki''
All of his things were in order as he put his wallet into his jeans pocket and went outside. He pulled his keys out and locked the door to his apartment before exiting the apartment complex. Once outside he saw many bystanders go about their every day as some were going to work, some to school like he was doing right now. This small town was bumbling with life. Naoto began to walk on the side of the sidewalk as he walked to school. The rural area would take him about ten to fifteen minutes to walk there but he didn't mind it. Walking was helping his mind take of things he was worried about. Such as his rent, his food, and his studies. This was how Naoto formulated his plans for such measure by walking to school in the most mundane way possible.
There was a time when he would be jumping through trees, weaving through hand signs as he clashed Jutsus with some enemies or spared against his teammates but these days were long gone now. Naoto was ordinary, to say the least by his people's standards at least. He had kept up with his training but oddly enough he didn't miss that life. There was satisfaction in this new life of his, a life mundane. Creating life and helping others without violence like his job as an independent artist. It was a passion he had ever since he would recall and it was his favorite hobby too.
It was satisfying to see the smile after getting paid to draw as you'd leave something tangible and leave a mark for others later down the line to remember you by. He had been lucky to be accepted in this school somehow as students aren't supposed to work but as an independent artist, he had some leeway. Strangely enough, the person who had accepted this was the school Student Council President Sona Shitouri.
Naoto could still remember meeting her when he applied for his studentship. The girl with short dark blue hair and eyes with glasses had a sharp piercing gaze as she seemed to analyze him. She had asked him many questions and Naoto knew how to lie. It was needed as a Ninja in case of capture but a good liar would always sprinkle some truths to look legit. He remembered how he told her was an orphan and had no means to find his school records. He remembered how when she asked if he tried to enroll it was because it had recently turned CoEd and he denied it saying that it was closer to his home.
He had passed GAT or General Aptitude Test to see his general grades and he knew he wasn't high but not bad but he was a B-tier student as Sona had put it. Not an honor student but could become one if he applied. Alas, his thoughts were cut short at the sight of the school's metal gates. He walked in as students were still in the front yard as the school hadn't started yet. Naoto made his way into the school's main hallway looked at the left hallway and went in that direction before stopping in front of a room.
''Classroom 2-B'' It said as he entered and sat at his desk as he looked out the window. The usual three perverts were getting beaten up by the Kendo Club Girls. Naoto pondered about if there existed laws and punishment for these but shook them off. He wasn't in Konoha and maybe things worked differently here. He doubted they had cops and his Mentor Jiraiya was never arrested so he wasn't the right one to discipline these three.
Fifteen minutes passed as school seemed close to starting. Naoto took a look at his watch, the time read 8:45 so school would only start in fifteen more minutes it seemed. Some students entered but two in particular caught his interest. It was the Kendo Captains and beaters of the three super perverts, Murayama and Katase. Murayam was a cute brown-haired girl with 2 pigtails. She had brown-eyes and wore the female version of the school's uniform which had a small shoulder cape a short black skirt and white leg stockings. Katase was her best friend and had short pink hair and eyes. She was dressed in the same uniform as Murayama. Naoto listened to their conversation as he opened his bag and decided to pull out something that Murayama requested a week ago.
''Urg..! I'm so sick of these three! They always peep at us. We went to the Student Council, the Teachers, and the Principal and nothing worked. Hell even us beating them with our shinhais isn't cutting it..!'' Murayama ranted as Katase agreed with her friend as she answered her.
''I know... I find it weird that we had more teachers expelled than these three. They made more trouble than what the teachers did...'' Katase agreed and Naoto had made his way seemingly with the art that Murayama had commissioned a week ago.
''Sorry to interrupt you both venting but... I got what you commissioned a week ago Murayama.'' Naoto said as he handed her the samurai art she requested. Murayama nodded happily as she took it and put it into her bag as she paid Naoto the 10,000 Yen that she agreed upon. She then spoke with him.
''Sorry, Naoto... We didn't want you to hear this.'' Murayam apologized as she looked a bit embarrassed and Naoto shrugged off her concerns as he spoke up.
''Don't worry about it. Also, have you thought of actually going to the proper sources with your complaints?'' He asked as Murayama answered him as she seemed surprised and upset that she hadn't thought about it earlier.
''To the proper sources..? Oh! You're right... Katase we should go to the cops about this! We have evidence on our phones right?'' Murayama asked as Katase beamed and nodded happily as she answered her BFF.
''Totally! Thanks, Naoto. Listen if you wanna get into the Kendo Club even if it's mostly female...we could accept.'' Katase said as Naoto nodded and accepted their proposal.
''Thanks. I'll gladly take the offer as my art is good to be commercial so I'm going to need a club to get school points. I'll wait on you both then to avoid problems.'' Naoto said as the girls nodded and he went back to his seat as their Homeroom teacher had come in and the school was starting along with their first period. The first period was boring as it was mathematics, Naoto's face soured as he hated these. He didn't want to know what fractions, algebra, and other stuff he wouldn't use other than basic calculations for his rent, and polygons for his art.
Luckily the second period was Art and Naoto's face beamed with the purest of emotions as he drew and even impressed the teacher. Pride was evident on his face and quite frankly while some were jealous of his talent in art, they couldn't hold it against him to flex on his favorite subject as it was his job even if some didn't know. Once the second period ended most people including Naoto went to the cafeteria as it was time for Lunch.
POV Change: Naoto's POV
I opened my lunch box as I sat at a table where most students never did. This table was like my quiet spot. I had prepared some sushis with some red bean soup and oolong tea the day prior for today's lunch. As I began digging or tried to I heard a s voice speak to me. I stopped trying to eat my lunch as I turned my head and saw a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous body, white skin, blue eyes, and a buxom figure. most distinctive feature she seemed to have was her long, beautiful crimson hair that reached down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has some loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. She seemed to be wearing a uniform of some kind which comprised of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a black ribbon on her shirt collar worn under a black shoulder cape and a matching button-down corset, a magenta skirt with white accents, and brown dress shoes over white crew-length socks.
This was Rias Gremory, the President of the Occult Research Club and one of the girls whom students were going crazy over. Doubt began to fill my mind as I wondered why she was talking to me. I never interacted with her or had anything with her club. Perhaps she wanted to commision some art which would be more likely as I calmed my thought as she spoke up.
''Excuse me, can I sit and talk with you?'' Rias asked me as I nodded. I wasn't against company and she didn't do anything to me. I wasn't gonna be an asshole about it and say no to her wanting to talk. Besides, curiosity was getting the better of me as I listened to her.
''Thanks... I noticed you are always eating here. Are you perhaps a loner type?'' Rias asked me as I shrugged and answered her as we ate lunch.
''I think so... I can socialize but I don't go towards people as I don't end up initiating conversation unless it is needed.'' I said as she nodded. She then asked me a question.
''Speaking of, do you believe in the Supernatural?'' Rias asked me as I sensed some kind of energy from her and that put me on guard slightly. Was she human? No... the humans here didn't even have Chakra unlike where I came from so what was she? Her question had to have a hidden meaning behind it then as I recalled my conversation with Murayama. I recalled what she was complaining about.
''Urg..! I'm so sick of these three! They always peep at us. We went to the Student Council, the Teachers, and the Principal and nothing worked. Hell even us beating them with our shinhais isn't cutting it..!'' That was what Murayama had said. So maybe she was unto something here as these three weren't expelled and she seemed relieved when she thought about going to the police so maybe this school wasn't using the proper channels and was hiding something about these three perverts.
I then answered Rias as I didn't want to be caught about this.
''I dunno... I guess I do since many religions exist meaning it had to start somewhere.'' I said as she nodded as we finished eating lunch before she thanked me for spending lunch with her.
''Well, Thank you Naoto for your time. This Lunch was interesting and people really should spend more time with you.'' Rias said politely as I nodded and the bell rang which told us that Lunchtime was over and it was time to get to the third period. The rest of the day was uneventful, History for the third period and science for the fourth period. I began packing my bags like many students as they prepared to leave I saw one of the perverted trio being talked to by a girl blushing and being shy.
He was of average height with short spiky brown hair, two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes. His outfit seemed to be a customized male version of the same uniform which consisted of which consists of a black blazer, over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with black highlights with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes. However, his seemed to be slightly different as he wore a red T-shirt under his blazer and wore blue and white shoes instead of the uniform ones. This was Issei Hyoudou, the Leader of the Perverted Trio.
The girl talking to him was a cute waist-length black-haired girl with pale skin and purple eyes. She was wearing the uniform of another school but what was unsettling was where the conversation was going. She said that she loved him as she always saw him pass by here but her school was literally in the opposite direction. The school she was going to was Kenshouji Gakuen which was about an hour from a walk and Issei was close to the school so he could walk there. This was a major red flag and Issei seemed to be ignoring it. When they concluded on a date, I decided to commit to memory of when they'd meet and the time as I had a bad feeling. I was a ninja once so I knew how to notice red flags when evidence of such were present.
Once I arrived back home, I opened a box in my drawing. The box was hidden under clothes and I reached inside. It was my headband of the Leaf Village. Sadness flooded me as I could remember how I lost everything that day but this was not the time for this sentimentality. The time was for me to be a Ninja once again. I wrote the date of when they meet which was a Sunday at the park. I then ordered some food to eat as I prepared myself to save Issei's life.
Timeskip to Sunday Evening
I sat up from my desk when I saw the time and got ready. Tonight, Issei was about to be killed I had to prevent that. Issei may be a pervert but killing him was a bit much. I could think of many crimes that were worse for people such as Orochimaru, and the Akatsuki, but Issei was a horny teen. He wasn't experimenting on others like Orochimaru was, he wasn't trying to destroy the world like the Akatsuki. Issei was just horny. I arrived at when their date was about to be completed. I had to thank Jiraiya-sensei for his Chameleon Cloak Jutsu as it helped a lot to be hidden right now. The date seemed fine until she seemed to morph into a more BDSM adult and bustier version of herself. She also had a pair of black feathered wings which if I had to say a type of bird it would be crow. She then created a spear made of energy and that was enough as I used False Sleep Jutsu on Issei so he'd fall asleep and took him out of there with a shadow clone before I kicked her right arm.
A loud cracking noise was heard before a splatting one as her right arm exploded on the impact of my kick. She screamed very loudly in pain but I then used my hands and grabbed her wings and slowly began pulling on them. I could feel them tearing off her as another squelching sound was heard as I ripped her wings off. I then used her bleeding back as a springboard and jumped above her before ending her life with an ax kick which crushed her entire skull as her head's contents splattered everywhere. I then used the Water Style: Cleaning Crew to get rid of the evidence on myself about what I did and moved out.
Issei was safe and delivered on the other park's bench. On my way home I saw Katasa and Murayama leaving the police station. I began wondering if things would change as they seemed to have given evidence of the perverted three to the cops. Issei's life would suck right now but I can rationalize myself that I wasn't the one who sent the cops, I saved his life and maybe in juvenile hall, he'd be safer. I entered my home and went straight to take a shower before bed as sleep took me in.
Somewhere else, in what seemed to be an old abandoned school building. Rias could only state and frown as she gave her orders to a figure bustier than her as it seemed something had failed.
''Issei didn't use the flyer. Something went wrong. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Warn Sona about it.'' Rias said as the figure left to do exactly that.
