Wakfu: Chronicles of the Lost Ninja

-Chapter 15-

-Last Time-

"Hoi! What did you do to- *Crackle* Huh?" Ruel started to yell at the now laughing blondes, only for all three of their attention to be taken by the sound of something breaking. Following it to it's source, the trio were just in time to see the gem that McDeek's chest piece had fractured crack even more before shattering completely, revealing that it had in fact been hollow…

"What the hell… is that a kid!?"

…But not empty.

-And Now-

"This is just getting ridiculous." This comment came from Amalia, who was sitting in the back of a cart with a dull expression along with Yugo and Dally as it was pulled down a plain dirt road by a Dragoturkey, all three of them covered in bandages from head to toe.

However, while most would think the greenette's statement was directed towards the multiple injuries she currently had, the truth was soon revealed to be otherwise upon following her gaze towards the trio walking beside the cart.

More specifically, she was focused on Eva, who was currently holding an unconscious boy in her arms of all things as she walked.

He was small, appearing roughly the same size and age of Yugo, with dark skin that made Amalia look pale and glossy hair that started out black at the roots but gradually turned a deep blue while his outfit consisting of plain black pants, shoes, and shirt that were clearly suited more for comfort and durability over style.

The most interesting things to note however, were the small pitch-black antler-like horns that protruded from his forehead just above his eyebrows, the plates that were growing on his forearms, and the pair of translucent blue Eniripsa-like wings connected to his back.

"Seriously first Naruto and now this kid, is finding people sealed inside random objects becoming a thing or something?" Amalia asked dully while stretching a bit to work out the stiffness in her muscles that had formed while she was KO'd, having just woken up after their fight with McDeek a few minutes ago, before staring at Ruel suspiciously. "And why exactly did you have him in your vault?"

"I honestly have no idea Amalia," The old Enutrof said with a shrug as he walked. "That vault holds almost every ounce of treasure the Stroud family has ever collected over the centuries. One of my ancestors probably found the gem the boy was inside and thought it was just that, a large and valuable gem which they helped themselves to."

"…Yeah, I could see that happening," The princess said after thinking it over for a few moments. "You are a cheap old coot that would steal from his own grandmother after all."

"Hey! I'll have you know that I do have some standards of how and from whom I… acquire my wealth from. Ruel said with an indignant huff, though inside his mind he was sweating nervously. 'Not to mention Nana would skin me alive if I tried such a thing.'

"Suuuuuure," Amalia drawled out disbelievingly before turning her attention back towards Eva, who was carefully setting the boy down on an unoccupied spot in the cart. "So why haven't you just woken him up and asked him then?"

"We tried, little guy is a heavier sleeper then I am." Naruto said with a chuckle while Eva rolled her eyes good naturedly with a small smile.

"To be more precise, he's in some kind of magically induced hibernation which is likely what was keeping him alive while inside that crystal," She said while wrapping a blanket around the boy and making sure he wasn't hurting his wings or anything. "We'll need to find a Huppermage or Eniripsa to break the spell once we reach Bonta."

"Uh, what?" Dally asked with tilted head.

"He's stuck asleep by magic and we can't wake him up." Ruel simplified for the Iop.

"Oh, well why didn't you say that before?" Dally said while reaching over towards the sleeping boy. "I'll wake him up, just gotta give him a few good sla- *SMACK*-Yeowch!"

"Iop-brain." Eva stated with a huff as said Iop fell back on his ass with a bright cherry-red hand print across his face.

"Speaking of Eniripsas," Amalia started as she and Yugo got closer to the boy, the princess reaching out and gently running her fingers against one of his wings curiously, causing it to flutter lightly from her touch. "Am I the only one who thinks he kinda looks like one only a bit more… buggy-ish?"

"Yeah, we've been talking about that too and right now we're stuck between whether he's an old ancestor of theirs or a hybrid of some kind," Ruel said with Eva and Naruto nodding in agreement. "We won't get a definite answer until after the young lad is awake and can speak for himself though."

"Okay, then how much longer till we get to Bonta then?" Yugo asked, his voice brimming with excitement from both getting to see a large city for the first time and at the idea of a new mystery that needed solved.

"About two more days," Naruto said while unrolling Scribble and giving the map a sinister grin. "Isn't that right map?"

"Yes! Yes! I swear, just follow this road and you'll be at Bonta before you know it! That's the truth!" The magical parchment said quickly, images of sweat drops popping up all around his face.

"It had better be." The whiskered blonde said, giving the map one last glare before rolling it back up and stuffing it back into its case.

"Ah man, two whole days? That sucks." Yugo muttered with a pout that his Tofu Az shared as the ears on his hat drooped in boredom. However, a few seconds later they stood back up as an excited look spread across the boy's face as he turned towards Naruto. "Oh, you can finish telling us that story about the chunin exam thingy now!"

Blinking in surprise at the request, Naruto considered it for a few moments and shrugged. "Sure, I don't mind if you really want to hear about it that much."

"Yes!" Yugo, Dally, and Amalia exclaimed with excited grins while Az twittered happily, Eva turned to him with an interested expression, and Ruel pulled out a familiar notepad.

"Alright then, now let's see, right after the first test finished, the proctor of the second exam showed up in quite an… interesting manner."

-Two Days Later-

"…And then, after opening the scrolls, our teacher from the Academy Iruka-Sensei showed up and explained the meaning behind the two scrolls and the poem on the wall before congratulating us on passing the second test." Naruto said while adjusting his hold on the unconscious boy in his arms, having finally finished with the story as the group walked down the now incredibly busy road.

It had taken him a lot longer for this part of the story since not only did it extend over five days, but he had to constantly stop to explain things such as about the forest of death, the proctor of the test Anko, some of the different villages, who Orochimaru was, and what a curse seal was.

Though this was made up for with his frequent use of Henge to show what certain people looked like and even act out a few scenes when they stopped for the night.

"Whoa… that was the coolest story ever." Yugo said from Naruto's right, his eyes sparkling as he stared up at his fellow blonde with admiration.

"Of all time." Amalia added from the other side of the whiskered blonde with an identical expression.

"Ah come on guys, it wasn't that great." Naruto mumbled sheepishly as he blushed softly.

"Are you kidding me kid, that was one of the most intense and attention-grabbing stories I've heard in my life," Ruel told him while jotting a few last notes down on his pad and stuffing it into his bag. "And trust me, I've heard a lot of stories while on the road. And I'm pretty sure all those people agree."

As he spoke, the old Enutrof pointed backwards with his thumb where a large group of kids following them with similar expressions as Yugo and Amalia. Upon being pointed out, these children rushed forwards and surrounded Naruto, clambering all over him while loudly begging for another story, making the whiskered blonde's blush deepen from all the positive attention he was getting.

'Hmm, looks like someone isn't so used to being in the spotlight,' Eva thought with a smirk, which only grew wider upon seeing the ninja vanish under the swarm of children right after passing the kid in his arms over to Ruel. A few seconds later, there was a muffled popping sound and several clouds of smoke suddenly wafted out of the piled-up kids before a small golden furred fox squeezed its way free and hid behind her.

While she didn't recognize what the animal was, though it looked like a mixed version of a bow-meow and a Bow-wow, Eva had seen Naruto use his transformation ability enough times to know that it was him.

Scooping him up into her arms, she gently scratched his head while giggling under her breath as she watched the children slowly disperse upon finding their target got. "Really? Couldn't just give them another story? You had to run away and hide like a scared Tofu?"

"Hey, you saw those gakis, they were all over me," Naruto said in a joking defensive tone as he gave the Cra holding him a literal foxy grin while settling into grasp. "I had to get out of there pronto."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. Who knew the super cool ninja was afraid of a few children." Eva said back with a chuckle… not noticing as Naruto sudden froze in her arms.

"…super cool ninja… super cool ninja… spuer cool ninja…"

-Konoha, many years ago-

Laughter filled the air as a thirteen-year-old Naruto ran through a forested area with a bright smile on his face followed by a trio of younger kids, a boy with a large scarf around his neck, a girl with bright orange hair, and another boy with glasses and runny nose who were trying to catch him.

"Come on you guys! You're never gonna catch me at this rate!" Naruto yelled while easily dodging the trio's attempt to grab him, apparently not noticing as they surrounded him until it was too late.

"Ha! You underestimated the Konohamaru Corps Naru-Huh?!" The scarf boy exclaimed while leaping at the blonde from behind… only to be caught in mid-air and tossed into the other boy coming from his left. A split second later the girl was literally thrown into the mix as Naruto grabbed her by the arm when she tried to surprise him from above and used it to smash her into the boys and send all three tumbling across the ground.

"Good try guys, you almost had me with that one, almost," Naruto said with a wide grin as he brushed off some imaginary dust and glancing up at the sky. "Well I've got to go meet up with my team now, maybe you guys will get me next time."

Shooting back up to his feet, the scarf boy pointed at the whisked blonde dramatically. "You better believe it Naruto-sama! Just you wait, we'll get you and proof that we are super cool ninjas just like you!"

-End Flashback-

"…Super cool ninjas… super cool ninjas…"

"Naruto?"

The transformed blonde was snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing someone calling his name, before blinking in surprise when he found himself being held up by a concerned looking Amalia.

"Oh, hey, something wrong?" Naruto asked, nervous sweat drops forming on the back of his head as the greenette stared at him intently. Thankfully for him though, she stopped after a minute or so and set him down on the ground with a weak smile.

"No, nothing wrong, just wanted to ask you what you thought of Bonta so far." She said while gesturing to their surroundings, making the blonde finally notice that they were in fact in the famous city.

It was a very vibrant city with hundreds of beautifully made buildings and hundred of bustling people going about their business. Amazed by the sight, Naruto turned back to normal and stood back at his full height so he could take it all in better.

However, this also prevented him from noticing the concerned looks he was getting from Eva and Ruel who were standing several feet away off to the side, the latter of which was still holding the Eniripsa-like child in his arms.

"Poor kid, it's starting to hit him again." The old Enutrof muttered with a shake of his head.

"We both knew it was only a matter of time," Eva said while watching Amalia drag Naruto off to a nearby clothing store, likely to con him into holding her stuff while she shopped. "This isn't something he can just shrug off forever."

"I am well aware, but what happens when he reaches that point once more is what concerns me." Ruel said before turning around and walking off in a seemingly random direction. "Come on, we still need to wake up our young friend here and I do believe there is a hospital over this way."

Taking one last glance at the blonde and green duo, Eva nodded in agreement before following after the old Enutrof.
