Wakfu: Chronicles of the Lost Ninja

-Chapter 5-

-Last Time-

When it cleared, Vampyro was gone and in his place was a mildly bruised up redheaded man that was groaning in pain while all the ghouls gradually turned into miraculously unharmed regular civilians who looked around the place in confusion. At the same time, the dark gloomy atmosphere that had been encompassing the entire town dissipated within seconds, and life seemed to return to the land.

Completely lost at what was going on, Naruto dispelled his clones and scooped up the ring with a confused look. "What the hell just happened?"

-And Now-

"So this thing is a prison holding some freaky ghost monster thing? And that it made you all evil and stuff?" Naruto asked while holding the ring he picked up close to his face. He was seated at a large table laden with a variety of different delectable looking foods and beverages that his companions were happily digging into.

"A Shushu yes, just like that Iop's sword." The man he had been pummeling into next year, Wagnar as he had introduced himself as, said with a sheepish and slightly depressed manner as he placed a tray of roasted bats on the table before pointing to Dally as he used said sword to spear a chunk of ham. "And I am… was her guardian." He corrected himself with a sigh.

"Hey, you can have it back if you want. I have no use for it." Naruto said while holding his hand out towards the man, ignoring the indignant huff of the ring as he did so.

"No I cannot," Wagnar said with a shake while pushing the hand back. "The moment I let Shadofang's honeyed words get to me I lost any right to be a guardian."

"Donth be sho hard on yourshelp, ich wappens poo the besh of ush." Dally said with his mouth stuffed to the brim with food, earning a smack to the head from both Eva and Amalia.

Taking a moment to translate what the Iop said in his head, Wagnar smiled in appreciation but shook his head. "The encouragement is kind of you, but I have already accepted the loss of my status. Besides, I doubt she would even let me put her on anymore."

"You got that straight you bloody fool." Shadofang said harshly as her inky face appeared on the gem to glare at him. "You were defeated while using my strength with absolute ease. Why would I want to be worn by a weakling like you?"

"And what? You think I'll just up and put you on after seeing what you did to him?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow as the face swiveled around to face him.

"Oh what's wrong sweetie? I was just having a bit of fun with that weakling, it gets dreadfully boring being stuffed in this thing you know. I'll promise to behave for you." She said in a sweet, soothing voice that would have made Naruto relax… if he hadn't been as dense as diamond when it came to any form or shape of flirting.

"I'm putting you in a scroll." He said bluntly while reaching into his hip pouch and pulling out said item out.

"Putting me in a what?" Shadofang parroted in confusion as Naruto unrolled the parchment, pulled out a brush and ink, and began drawing a series of complex symbols. When he finished, the blonde set the ring in the middle. "What's going on? What is thi-" *Poof*

Wagnar's jaw dropped in surprise as he saw the dangerous Shushu vanish in a puff of smoke before Naruto rolled the scroll back up and put it away. "Problem solved, now time to get something to eat."

"Wha… what happened to Shadofang?" The 'ex'-guardian asked as he looked around in confusion.

"Sealed her into a storage scroll. You said a chuchu-" "Shushu," "Shushu could possess anything that was alive, so I put it where nothing that can be possessed could possibly reach it." Naruto said with a shrug as he started serving himself. As far as he knew, no one but him knew how to operate his sealing scrolls now, and even if someone tried to figure them out he put a simple self-destruct trigger on Shadofang's that Jiraiya had taught him for important documents.

One little slip up and that ring would be stuck inside her own personal pocket dimension for the rest of eternity.

"Ah, a clever idea," Wagnar said with a slight grin before quickly becoming serious. "But be warned, the influence of a Shushu is not so easily contained."

"When is anything ever easy?" Naruto asked rhetorically with a roll of his eyes before chowing down on his food.

"A question as old as time itself that one." Ruel said after downing an entire jug of Api cider.

"For once we agree you greedy old Enutrof." Eva said, giggling when the old man sank into his seat while grumbling about 'no respect from youngsters'. Once she settled down a bit, she finished up the last few bites that remained on her plate and stood up. "Speaking of those scrolls of yours, we should really start packing some supplies and I'd like them to be somewhere that certain people can't reach." As she spoke, Eva sent some not-so-discreet glares at Ruel, Dally, and Yugo who either smiled sheepishly or whistled innocently. "Do you mind helping me?"

"No problem." Naruto said with a grin that Eva shared as he got up with his plate in hand. "Lead the way." Nodding, Eva turned around and headed out the nearest exit with her fellow blonde in tow. As the pair left, neither noticed the Cheshire grin that suddenly popped up on Ruel face though a certain Sadidian princess did.

"What are you so happy about Ruel? I figured you'd be upset that you wouldn't be able to gorge yourself like normal." Amalia said, her eyes narrowing in suspicion as she leaned closer to him.

"Oh it's nothing, just enjoying the blossoming young love." He said with a wave of his hand, laughing internally at Amalia's gobsmacked expression. At the same time Dally, who was jugging a bottle of cider when Ruel spoke, did a spit-take that covered half the table, Yugo, and Wagnar.

"WHAT!?" The Sadidan and Iop cried out in sync while getting right up in Ruel's face.

"Don't tell me you don't see it too?" Ruel asked in mock surprise before shaking his head. "I mean, it's so obvious."

"What are you talking about?!/Naruto and Eva are together?!" They both demanded/asked at the same time while a still soaked Yugo quietly squeezed in between them with a curious expression.

Sighing dramatically, Ruel's smirk widened slightly before speaking. "Think about it, our little Evangeline gets kidnapped by the horrible villain, no offense," He said to Wagnar who waved it off, "Naruto swoops in and saves her all by himself, and the next day she suddenly comes up with an excuse to be alone with him."

With each word that past his lips, a look of dawning understanding, and horror in Dally's case, crossed the trio's faces. Ruel hadn't barely even finished speaking before Amalia and Dally rushed off towards the direction that the blonde duo had had gone, with Yugo getting literally dragged along as he was stuck between them.

When they were completely out of sight though, Ruel clapped his hands together with a mischievous grin crossing his lips as he turned back to the buffet that was still mostly untouched. 'He he he, suckers make it way too easy.' He thought while picking up a large tray half as big as he was and somehow stuffing the entire thing into his small bag before going for another.

While this was happening, Wagnar watched with a bland expression as he wiped the cider off his face.

-Castle Supply Room-

Unaware of what Ruel had just unleashed, our whiskered protagonist finished drawing an array of simple storage seals on a fresh scroll while Eva collected various foods and supplies and placed them on specific sections. As they worked, the pair fill the silence by trading stories of their childhood misdeeds.

"You seriously graffitied an entire mountainside monument in broad daylight?" Eva asked incredulously.

"While dressed in a bright neon orange jacket and cargo pants, hell I still have the jacket." Naruto said while pulling out a small scroll that was barely bigger than his pinky with a black and orange decorations around it. This was his most important scroll to him as it held almost all of his most memorable and sentimental possessions within it that he carried with him wherever he went.

Unrolling it just enough to reveal the first seal drawn on it, he applied a small amount of chakra to it and after said jacket appeared in his arms with a puff of smoke. "I can't believe I used to wear this." Naruto chuckled with a nostalgic smile as he held the coat up for Eva to see. It was similar to his current top though it was a much brighter shade of orange and worn looking with blue on either shoulder, a red swirl on the back, a fluffy yet worn white collar, and a white swirl tassel on the right shoulder.

While he still absolutely adored the color orange, the whiskered blonde had slowly come to see that his original ninja outfit was just a 'tad' excessive as he grew up and eventually ended up settling for the more moderate design he currently wore when it he had to get new clothes. Though he refused to get rid of the jacket as it had been the very first gift he had ever been given and had been with him through the best and worst of his early ninja career.

"Hm, it doesn't look that bad to me." Eva said with a shrug as looked the article of clothing over. "May I?" She asked with a hand held out. Surprised by his fellow blonde's words, Naruto nodded slowly before tentatively handing her the jacket.

Running her fingers through the soft yet durable feeling cloth for a second, Eva then flipped the coat behind her and slipped it on. It was a little short on the sleeves and stomach but other than that it was a perfect fit for the Cra. "A little bright for my tastes, but otherwise it looks fine." She said with a nod before starting to take it back off…

…just as the door that was right behind her to burst open, knocking her into Naruto a sending them both tumbling into the table which collapsed under the sudden weight as Amalia, Dally, and Yugo rushed into the room.

"They have to be in here. This is the last room to… check… Oh my Sadida! We'll come back later!" Amalia screamed as she got a good look at the scene in front of her before quickly heading back out, shoving the two boys with her out as well. Eva was laying on top of Naruto with random bits of food, ink, parchment, and wood covering them both. However, the real reason for Amalia's big freak out was the sight of Eva with her lips locked firmly with Naruto's and the whiskered teen's hands groping her friend's chest from when he instinctually tried to catch her.

Completely caught by surprise by the accidental kiss, neither of the blondes were able to do anything but stare into the other's eyes. As the shock quickly began to wear off though, both of their faces rapidly turned to a vibrant shade of red that would make a tomato green with envy. Finally, after nearly two minutes of this, Eva managed to regain her wits enough to break the lip-lock and clamber off Naruto.

"T-t-that w-wasn't… I-I didn't…" She stuttered out before just giving up on speaking and rushing out the door. Naruto on the other hand simply raised his head slightly to look at the direction at which she left for a few moments as his brain replayed what happened until he couldn't take it anymore and passed out with a nosebleed.

-Back with Ruel-

Ruel was just finishing up stuffing the last of the buffet into his bag when Amalia, Yugo, and Dally returned with the former two being flustered and the latter looking a little down. Raising an eyebrow, he was about to ask them what was wrong when an Extremely embarrassed Eva waltzed into the room shortly.

"Soooooo, have fun 'packing supplies'?" Amalia asked with air quotes as soon as she saw the Cra enter the room while shooting her friend a dirty look.

"I-I have n-no idea what your t-talking about." Eva said as she tried to cross the room to get to where the bedrooms were, only for Amalia to get in her way.

"Puh-lease, I saw it with my own two eyes." The greenette said as Eva's face somehow turned even redder. "What were you thinking? You've only known him a few days and you're doing THAT with him!?"

"It wasn't what it looked like! It was an accident!" Eva exclaimed only for her ward/best friend to scoff.

"Sure… you just 'accidentally' kissed him right on the lips while laying on top of him." Amalia said sarcastically, "If that's true, then perhaps you might be able to explain that jacket, hmm?" She asked making Eva stiffen up.

'CRAP!' The Cra thought as she looked down at herself and saw that she was indeed still wearing Naruto's old jacket. "I, uh… You seeEOUCH!" Her words were cut off by a yelp as Amalia surprisingly grabbed her by the ear and dragged her off.

"We are going to have a long, LONG chat Evangeline!"

Meanwhile, Ruel's eyes widened as he put two and two together and a chuckle escaped his throat. 'Looks like my little trick wasn't just a bit a fiction after all.'

-End Chapter-

AN: Poll up for the pairing of this story. Before anyone asks, Naruto will eventually use Shadofang, but after seeing what she did to the last person that wore her he wouldn't exactly be jumping through hoops to do so right away. He already has first hand experience when dealing with things trying to possess him *Cough* Kyuubi *Cough* and I doubt he'd be all gun-ho for adding something else to that list. That being said, Shadofang will try to tempt him as they travel as if you've seen season two of Wakfu, it is shown that a Shushu isn't limited to just where their prison is to communicate with someone. Also does anyone know where Naruto actually got his first outfit? I tried to find out myself but could only find how he got his shippuden clothes. Thank you for reading and please review.
