Naruto was in the gym wearing a tight black shirt and orange gym pants, waiting for his female classmates to come in. "This is kind of exciting. Besides mom, I haven't had a good fight since.." Naruto got quiet as Homura. 'I'll find you, Homura-chan.' as Naruto thought of his friend, he smiled when he felt a presence behind him. "Katsuragi-chan." Naruto said as the girl tried to hug him but he turned around and hugged her back, shocking her.
"Wow, you were able to sense me." Katsuragi said, as she was feeling Naruto's body. Naruto put the girl down and chuckled.
"Wow, looking good Katsuragi." Naruto said, looking at the girl in her gym uniform and looking down below the belt. "Nice legs."
Katsuragi smirked. "Nice abs." She retorted.
"Wow, I thought you weren't a pervert?" Ikaruga said.
"I'm not but I do appreciate beautiful girls when I see them." Naruto said, making the girls blush. "Also, I wasn't talking about just the looks. I can tell that she seems to specialize in kicking more than punching. Ikaruga, you are patient and always calm… you're probably a swordsman. Yagyuu seems smart and always can hide her presence, so I assume some type of range fighter. Hibari seems like a support fighter. Lastly, Asuka seems like the speed and aggressive type but she was just too adorable." Naruto commented, surprising the girls and making Asuka blush.
"You would be correct." Kiriya said, appearing out of nowhere. " A good shinobi always analyze their opponents. Something you should learn. Now then, first Ikaruga vs Katsuragi."
"Hai!" Both girls replied and walked to the middle of the floor.
"This will be exciting." Naruto said as he sat between Asuka and Yagyuu. Ikaruga jumped up and Katsuragi charged Ikaruga but Ikaruga grabbed a pole and spun herself before throwing herself at Katsuragi. The blonde looked surprised but smiled before disappearing in mid-air and reappearing behind Ikaruga before ax-kicking her. Ikaruga dodged and landed on the floor, then blocked another kick from Ikaruga. The two then disappeared in blinding speed but Naruto had no problem keeping up. Ikaruga fell to the floor and Katsuragi landed in front of her.
"Katsuragi is the winner." Kiriya said.
"Yes! what did you think of that, Naruto-kun?" Katsuragi asked.
"Pretty good, congrats." Naruto said before walking up to the girl and patting her on the head. Katsuragi blushed and smiled. Naruto turned to Ikaruga and approached the girl, offering her a hand. "You did good too, it was very close." Naruto said with a warm smile.
Ikaruga blushed and accepted his hand. "Thank you, Naruto-san."
"Alright, Naruto vs Asuka and Yagyuu." Kiriya said, surprising everyone but Naruto.
"I knew you were going to pull something like this." Naruto said as he walked to the floor.
"Sensei, are you sure? Naruto might not be able to handle it." Ikaruga said.
"We'll just have to see." Kiriya said. Naruto stood across from the two girls with his fingers spread and palms out.(like Aang from avatar stance.) Both girls had their arms up and fist tight, ready for anything. Yagyuu charged first and threw a punch at the blond. Naruto twirled around her before jumping to dodge Asuka's sweep. Naruto, using his hand, balanced himself off Yagyuu's shoulder and pushed himself off her into the air. He pushed himself off the pole above him and flipped and went in for a kick at Yagyuu. Yagyuu blocked but gritted her teeth when she felt how powerful the kick was and was pushed back. Asuka went in for more punches but it was redirected by Naruto. Seeing an opening, he pulled both his arms back and palmed Asuka's stomach, sending her tumbling.
"Wow, Naruto-kun is kicking ass." Katsuragi said.
"He's quite skilled." Ikaruga said.
"I hope no one gets hurt." Hibari said with a worried tone.
Yagyuu got up and approached Asuka. "We need to time our attacks. He's obviously stronger and not trying."
Asuka nodded. "You're right, he's amazing. But we can beat him." The girls nodded to each other and charged the blonde and the three disappeared in a blinding speed. Naruto was enjoying himself and had to admit, the girls were pretty good. After a few more minutes Asuka and Yagyuu were gasping for air, while Naruto looked fine.
"The winner is Naruto." Kiriya said. Naruto walked to the side and grabbed two bottles of water and tossed them to Asuka and Yagyuu.
"You two were amazing." Naruto commented. Asuka gave him a big grin and Yagyuu gave him a small smile.
"Now that you have seen his skills, I'll announce Naruto as my assistant. He'll help me train you girls while completing missions with you as a new team member." Kiriya announced.
"I'm happy to help." Naruto said.
"Now it's lunch time! Anyone have a plan?" Katsuragi asked.
"Actually, I brought some rolls." Asuka said, bringing out her bento.
"And I called in a favor." Naruto said and in a bright light, Kushina appeared in front of them.
"Hey everyone, My lovely son asked me to bring some lunch and I heard we have a ramen fan." Kushina said and brought a suitcase and opened it to reveal multiple Bento boxes. "I cooked a little of everything. We have katsudon, ramen, udon, omelet, and many more."
"Yeah, ramen!" Naruto and Katsuragi cheered. Naruto turned to Asuka's rolls and grabbed one. "Do you mind if I try one?"
"Um, sure." Asuka said. Naruto grabbed one and took a bite.
"This is amazing, kaa-chan. You have to try this." Naruto said, giving Kushina his roll. Kushina took a bite and her eyes widened.
"This is good, did you make this?" Kushina asked Asuka.
"Um, yeah. It's a family recipe." Asuka said before Kushina grabbed both of her hands.
"Please marry my son!" Kushina said, making Naruto and Asuka blush.
"Kaa-chan! I'm too young for marriage." Naruto said.
"Don't worry, if it's a matter of choice. You can marry all of them." Kushina said, making all the girls blush. "The more grandkids, the better."
Kiriya started to laugh. "Pologamy is legal for shinobi." Kiriya said. All the teens just blushed up a storm. "Anyway, I have a mission for you six."
"Really? Finally?" Katsuragi cheered.
"There are some delinquents you need to take care of." Kiriya said.
"Huh, just delinquents." Katsuragi pouted.
"A mission is a mission." Naruto said.
"Actually Naruto, I want you to watch over them. Unless they need help, don't jump in." Kiriya said.
"Figures, fine I'll make sure they're safe." Naruto said.
"Goodluck Naru-kun, I'll see you when you get home." Kushina said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Man, I was hoping to protect someone from the shadow or rescue a damsel." Katsuragi complained.
"But how are we going to find these delinquents?" Ikaruga asked.
"Well, bad people like to hangout in dark places or hide in the open." Naruto said. "So dark alleys, under a bridge or in a park of some kind."
"Great idea, Naruto-kun." Asuka said, earning a nod from the rest of the girls.
"Right, we should split up." Ikaruga said.
"Great idea, I take the roof and watch from above." Naruto said as he disappeared at high speed.
"Wow, he's so amazing. Can I be like that?' Hibari asked.
"Yeah, I believe in you Hibari." Yagyuu said.
"Alright, send a signal if you find anything." Ikaruga commanded as the five split up and went into different directions.
"Man, this is so boring." Naruto said as he laid on a roof. "I should've teamed up with someone." Naruto said until he saw a signal shot up in the air. "Looks like something up with the girls." Naruto said as he rushed to the direction, when he got close. He felt chakra. "Who's that?" Naruto said and looked in another direction. 'This feels familiar.' he thought before the area was covered in a shinobi barrier. "Damn, I have to find the girls." Naruto said as he left the area.
"Ninja art: Shinobi Transformation." Naruto landed on a roof and saw the girls transform outside the school uniform and each were wearing new outfits with their weapons. Ikaruga had a katana, Yagyuu had an umbrella, and Katsuragi wore steel boots. It was weird because Hibari didn't have one and Asuka wasn't here. He closed his eyes to sense her chakra and found her near the familiar chakra he sensed earlier but he couldn't place it. This person was stronger than Asuka, which worried him but the girl was surrounded by puppets.
"Damn, sorry Asuka but I have to make sure the girls are alright.." Naruto said. After watching the girls take down the puppets, Naruto sighed in relief and turned his head in the direction Asuka was in. He sensed her leaving the area and headed to here. Naruto looked down and saw a beautiful girl in a black uniform help Hibari from falling. He narrowed his eyes when he sensed her chakra. It was a s high as the one near Asuka. When she left, Naruto jumped down and landed in front of the girls. "You four did a great job."
"Naruto-kun!" Hibari cheered.
"You saw how badass I was?" Katsuragi said, puffing up her chest.
"Yeah, you didn't even need my help." Naruto said. "And good leadership, Ikaruga. Taking over after I left shows how great you are."
"Thank you." Ikaruga said with a bow and blush on her face. "But where was Asuka?"
"She's on her way." Naruto said. Everyone turned to him in confusion. "I can sense divine chakra and emotion. She was near someone stronger than her but they didn't fight."
"I see, well I'm glad Asuka-chan alright but what do we do now?" Hibari asked.
"We will report back to Kiriya sensei and let him know what happened. It's clear these puppets were used to draw you five out." Naruto said.
"Us? Why not you?" Yagyuu asked.
"I just transferred, so no one should know about me yet. Think of me as a secret weapon." Naruto said.
"Hey everyone." The group turns to see Asuka running towards them. "Sorry I'm late but I can explain. I was with a friend of mine and I didn't want to appear suspicious. So I stayed a bit until I could come up with an excuse." Asuka said.
"I'm glad you're safe, Asuka-chan." Naruto said, patting her head. Asuka just blushed and smiled. 'Why does this feel so good."
"Let's head back and report, everyone." Ikaruga said and everyone nodded.
"Puppets?" all the girls asked at the same time. Naruto just stood there with his arms folded.
"Precisely, that means a puppeteer was nearby and probably the cause of the shinobi barrier." Kiriya said.
"The girls were right about being targeted, keep your eyes peeled and don't talk to no one outside this room besides me." Kushina said, appearing out of nowhere.
"Kaa-chan, how long have you been here?" Naruto asked.
"The whole time, waiting for you." Kushina said. "It's time for our daily spar and I can't have you getting rusty, especially if you want to find your friend." Kushina said. Naruto nodded and frowned.
"I'll find her, I promise." Naruto said with dedication.
"Anyway, you all can go home and rest up. Tomorrow will be more training." Kiriya said before disappearing in smoke. Everyone started to cough and wave the smoke away.
"That's why our teleportation is better, Naru-chan oh, and the girls can stay over tonight if they want. We have an inn in the city." Kushina said before disappearing in a flash.
"So what do you girls say? Want to sleep over at my house?" Naruto offered.
"Sure, as long as I get to bring my pillows." Katsuragi said as she started to grope Asuka.
"Katsu-nee, stop." Asuka said. "Not in front of Naruto-kun."
Katsuragi, stop harassing Asuka." Ikaruga said as she Katsuragi on the head. "We'd be delighted to stay the night at your inn."
"Wow, you own this?" Katsuragi said. The inn looked more like a hotel. It had a hot spring, massage chairs, ping-pong and a training yard.
"Yeah, kaa-chan went overboard. She calls it hiding in plain sight." Naruto said. "No one would believe a ninja would be rich and out in the open, she says."
"We appreciate the invite." Ikaruga said with a bow. Naruto smiled and lifted her chin up with his fingers, making her blush.
"No need for that, we're friends and comrades." Naruto said. Ikaruga smiled warmly and nodded.
"Do you have any snacks?" Hibari asked hopefully.
"Of course, I'll go grab some." Naruto said.
"I'll help." Yagyuu offered, surprising Naruto.
"Thank you, Yagyuu-chan." Naruto said as the two walked away. As the two walked away, Katsuragi turned to the other girls.
"I think I'm crushing on Naruto-kun." the blonde said.
"Eh!" Asuka and Ikaruga said at the same time, while Hibiri looked confused. "Katsu-nee, how can you say that so easily?"
"Don't give me that, you like him to Asuka and I bet you're planning on using these to get to him." Katsuragi said, groping Asuka's breast.
"Stop it." Asuka said as Katsuragi let her go. "While I admit Naruto is a great guy, I'm not sure how I feel."
"Same for me, he's strong and respectable." Ikaruga added. "He's not a pervert and seems to want to be friends with us. I feel like I can learn a lot from him."
"I like him, he's fun." Hibiri said.
"He's also reliable." Katsuragi said. "Did you hear his mom by the way? She said he was searching for someone."
"Yeah, a friend of his disappeared." Kushina said, appearing out of nowhere, startling the girls.
"Kushina-sama." Ikaruga said before bowing. "Thanks for inviting us."
"No problem, I'm glad you guys feel positive about my son." Kushina said. "His last team was kind of a disappointment."
"What do you mean?" Ikaruga asked.
"You see he had a crush on a girl, but she had a crush on the other teammate because he was one of those quiet, I think I'm cool types." Kushina said.
"Those types are boring." Katsuragi said, folding her arms.
"Right, anyway. They both treated him like garbage for reasons I can't say and he was devoted to making everyone happy. After he left them, he went to a middle school in Japan that trains junior shinobi and met a rival. They became best friends quickly but thanks to an incident, she disappeared, leaving him alone. I'm glad he met you girls, I don't want him to be heartbroken again."
"Don't worry, we won't break his heart." Katsuragi said. With the other three girls nodding. "In fact, we'll build Naruto-kun a harem with us being the first members."
"Eh!" Asuka and Ikaruga said, blushing up a storm.
"I knew there was a reason why I liked you, dattebane." Kushina said. Katsuragi just chuckled.
Yagyuu was looking at Naruto, which Naruto caught. "Are you ok?"
"What is your opinion on Hibari?" Yagyuu asked, making Naruto give her a questionable look.
"She's adorable like a little sister." Naruto said, making Yagyuu flinch. "I used to have a little brother figure, who used to call me boss or nii-san. When I was looked down on by a lot of people, he still wanted to be like me. Hibari reminds me of him, always cheerful and happy. It makes me want to protect her, I'm guessing you had a little sister?"
Yagyuu's eyes widened and turned to the blonde. "H-how did you know?"
"When I said the word sister, I felt your depression." Naruto answered. "Want to talk about it?"
Yagyuu was quiet, she never talked about her past but saw how concerned the blonde was. "I used to have a sister who looked at me as her hero. I was very fond of her, we were best friends and she meant everything to me. One day she was in an accident and died, so I started to isolate myself. When I was in middle school, I met Hibari who acted just like her and we became friends. She took away my loneliness and now I want to protect her no matter what."
"I know the feeling, I met someone who told me that we gain strength from protecting someone precious to us. It turned out she was an enemy nin, even though we were enemies. I still care for her and she ends up dying protecting her step father. I vow to get stronger to not lose anyone ever again." Naruto said.
Yagyuu stared at the blonde in awe and grabbed his hand, gaining his attention. "We'll get stronger together to protect Hibari."
Naruto smiled and grabbed her hand as well. "Not just Hibari. Asuka, Ikaruga and Katsuragi too. And we can't forget you too." Naruto said with a warm smile, making Yagyuu give him a warm smile while blushing.
Yagyuu stood on her tiptoes and pecked the blonde on his cheek, making him blush. "You can't forget yourself, Naruto-senpai." Yagyuu said, holding his hand and walking to the kitchen.
"Control her!" Karsuragi said as she held Hibari in an arm lock. Hibari was running towards the table of desserts Naruto and Yagyuu brought and in the middle of the table was a big cake.
Naruto chuckled. "Let her go, I'm kinda curious what she made of." Yagyuu looked at Naruto about to protest but Naruto gave her a warm smile. "Don't worry, I'll only defend." Yagyuu gave Naruto a grateful smile and nodded.
"Ok, if you say so." Katsuragi said, releasing the sugar-addict. Hibari charged the dessert table but Naruto stepped in front of her. Hibari went for a grab but Naruto smacked her hand away, Hibari twirled and tried to get around the blonde but Naruto moved in front of her again. Hibari started to attack Naruto on instinct and Naruto was struggling to block.
"Amazing, with the right motive, she can be as strong as me." Naruto said. Naruto noticed that Hibari's strikes were getting more aggressive and Naruto decided to end it. "Hibiri-chan, if you don't calm down, there will be no dessert."
Hibiri stopped and pouted. "I'm sorry."
Naruto walked up to the girl and patted her head. "It's fine, you were excited. You can have your dessert and try to control yourself." Hibari nodded and ran to the table.
"Thank you for not hurting Hibari." Yagyuu said.
Naruto patted the girl's head, making her blush and smile. "Ahh, Naruto-kun! I want you to pat my head." Katsuragi said.
"Me too!" Asuka said.
"I don't understand what's so good about it." Ikaruga said with a confused look.
"But Ikaruga-san, Naruto-kun's headpats feel nice." Asuka said as Naruto patted her and Katsuragi's head.
"Ahh, this feels nice." Katsuragi said. "You should show Ikaruga some love." Katsuragi told her fellow blonde and pushed him in front of Ikaruga.
"I don't see what the big deal is." Naruto said as he patted Ikaruga heads. Ikaruga's body started to shake and her face turned red.
'This feels nice." Ikaruga thought. Katsura smirked when she saw Ikaruga's expression.
"I told ya." Katsuragi said. Ikaruga couldn't hear her and just enjoyed the feeling of her head being patted.
"Everyone, it's time to go." Ikaruga called out as Naruto stood beside her. "I'm surprised you're awake, Naruto-san."
"I have always been an early riser." Naruto said as the girls came downstairs. As they walked outside, Katsuragi yawned and grabbed Asuka's breast.
"Katsu-nee, stop." Asuka moaned.
"I'm just completing my ritual, it's important for my focus." Katsuragi said, still groping the poor girl.
"Is it really important?" Yagyuu asked.
Katsuragi gave the girl a small smile. "Yeah, it shows affection to the people you care about."
"Don't corrupt her." Ikaruga chasted.
Yagyuu just stared and turned to Naruto. She approached the blonde then grabbed his hand before putting it on her breast. "How's that, Naruto-senpai?"
Everyone gasped at this. "Yagyuu-chan, what's this about?" Naruto asked his kouhei.
"I thought I'd give you some energy." Yagyu said with a cute smile.
"It would seem that Yagyuu has some Naruto fever." Katsuragi said, chuckling at the pair. Naruro, Asuka and Ikaruga blushed at the statement.
"Huh, Yagyuu is sick?" Hibiri asked.
"No, I'm fine." Yagyuu said as she walked ahead. "Either way, we're going to be late if we don't hurry." Yagyuu said before running ahead to school.
