When Darkness Lights The Path
Crossovers: Black Clover
Suggested by: Lucian Naruto
Pairings: Naruto x Charlotte or Naruto x Mereoleona
Outside of Hozuki castle
Everyone was celebrating the "victory" at Hozuki Castle. They were all happy to have defeated Satoru as if they had all done their part. When in actuality, Naruto was the one who beat him and died. Only living afterwards thanks to Ryuzetsu conviently having a power just like Chiyo. Thus losing her life so that Naruto could live, yet Naruto was not happy.
Everyone ignored Naruto's sudden dark attitude. They thought he was being a brat or something. As if this teen who had come far from being an idiot who painted the Hokage monument as a prank to this young adult who defeat Pain. The supposed leader of Akatsuki who literally killed everyone and nearly destroyed the village until Naruto finally arrived. In the end, everyone believed Naruto Uzumaki to be the least capable shinobi to understand his task at infiltrating Blood Prison. So they let him get taken away when so much evidence was inconclusive and without trial, making this a technically illegal move.
Naruto would forever remember this. Never forgive, never forget.
"Where is that idiot? Is he still brooding?" Tsunade asked as if Naruto not being an idiot was a problem.
"I'll find him Hokage-sama. Naruto has had enough space." Kakashi said still reading his book.
"I'll find him Kakashi sensei, you will just come back an hour later." Sakura said as Kakashi stifled a laugh.
Everyone started questioning why Naruto was so mad. Minus the intellectuals like Shino and Shikamaru but in the end, they weren't that intelligent. As they assumed even death would keep Naruto happy and positive.
"He loves us too much to be angry." Ino said as those two agreed with the statement.
"I-I hope h-h-he isn't mad." Hinata said meekly.
"Hinata, saying that Naruto gets mad is like Choji saying he hates food." Kiba said as everyone laughed.
With Naruto
On the ship back to the Land of Fire. Naruto was currently tinkering around in the engine room. The ship wasn't too big like a steamroller or a cruise ship, but just meant for a medium sized crew like for a group of fisherman. So it wasn't like the engine room was meant to be secured like a bank vault. Now the jinchuriki was free to roam around as no one bothered to keep tabs on him. Expecting him to do no wrong whatsoever.
By the time Sakura arrived, she sighed.
"Baka, what are you doing? You'll break something." Sakura said only to be ignored. "I'm talking to you Naruto! You need to stop brooding! Get over it! You know why we couldn't tell you otherwise the mission would have been a failure!" she explained as if she was scolding a child.
Naruto huffed, "Tell me Sakura, when you literally die. Will you forgive everyone?" he asked.
Sakura rolled her eyes, "You weren't even dead, I bet your heart just needed to be restarted." She said pretending to ignore her actions.
Only to be horrified by Naruto's demented grin. Not even that stupid face Naruto made when he suggested finding out what Kakashi looked like under his mask was this scary. Sakura looked at Naruto as if he was about to torture her to death.
"Then forgive me, if I hurt you. If you can expect this from me, I can expect this from you." Naruto said as he lit a small fire.
Sakura was about to stop the fire only to see various seals activate, "What did you do!?" she asked.
"Fuinjutsu, something you could never learn. All you're good for is being like Tsunade, Sakura." Naruto spat with venom. "Old and depressed, lonely and pathetic, clinging to the past and using it as an excuse for pity." he added.
Sakura balled her fists, "You idiot! Turn off those seals and take all that back about Tsunade-sama!" She said preparing to hit him.
"What? You don't like the truth? That's like you Sakura, you pretend that it's a fairy tale and that your prince in shining armor will appear but guess what?" Naruto asked just as he heard footsteps.
"Sakura? Is he down here?" Tsunade asked just as she made her way down.
"I'm done being the stress reliever for a bunch of ungrateful idiots." Naruto said silently.
Just then, Tsunade entered the room, "What was that? Did I just hear you…?" she tried to say sounding threatening.
Only for Sakura to jump in front of her teacher just as Naruto exploded into smoke. It was all too fast for Tsunade to comprehend. Whatever happened, it just happened. All within the blink of an eye did the trip on the boat end. All Tsunade could hear was…
"Tsunade-sama! Get down!" from Sakura.
Followed by a large explosion.
*BOOM*
Outside the ship
On a smaller boat that was attached to the larger ship. Naruto stared at the boat impassively as he untied his headband. He looked at it for a solid minute before gripping it and tossing it into the ocean.
"The Will of Fire… it's nothing but a joke." Naruto said as he left on the boat.
Not caring for the "comrades" on the boat he blew up. What's the point of caring for comrades when they are as disposable as paper towels? Better yet, what's the point of befriending someone who has no value for the lives of others?
Thirteen years later, Clover Kingdom
Danmatio Kira raised his scales at Yami who was running head first at him. Sure the trial against Asta was a farce, but he put the life one one child and a no named magic knight as devil worshippers over putting the country or magic knights as a whole at risk. It was bad and questionable, but it was worth the sacrifice in his head. As there would be too many issues with explaining the truth involving the elves.
Though he didn't see it, Kira was about to be saved by Fuegoleon Vermilion and Nozel Silva who were going to stop Yami. So the judge raised his scales to stop Yami in his tracks and disable his magic.
"Scale Regulate." he said just as Nozel arrived.
The magic knight captain created a large shield from his Mercury Magic. Fortunately or unfortunately, as Yami struck the shield without being able to penetrate anything. The scales took effect, but Damnatio noticed something. Yami's magic was gone, but he wasn't immobile. Using more power and strength, it was as if nothing happened. If Damnatio was confused or nervous, he wouldn't show it but retained his emotionless appearance.
Instead, a giant amount of smoke appeared. Nozel coughed as it went into his mouth but still kept up his defense.
"What is that? Did Yami bring a smoke bomb?" Fuegoleon had asked.
"I don't…" Nozel lost track of his words as his shield melted like ice.
Soon enough, he found himself being lifted up by his coat. No doubt by Yami which annoyed him.
"What's the big idea?" Yami asked sounding annoyed.
"The "big idea" is we have a letter from King Julius." Nozel said as he tried to pry Yami's large arm off of him.
When Nozel forgot something, Yami is a giant that works out. Meanwhile nobles like himself and prodigies like Yuno put in less effort to work out. Meaning they're about strong enough to carry a pickle jar… without the pickles. Magic is everything, but who said that nobles needed to lift weights or run more than 10 meters without having a stroke?
As Nozel didn't have the chance to remove Yami's muscular arm. Fuegoleon presented the scroll from Julius, effectively shutting this trial down. Much to the displeasure of the nobles. However, what really concerned them was underneath the smoke Yami created.
"So what does it say?" Yami asked not noticing everyone giving him strange looks.
"Who are you?" Nozel asked as he still struggled.
By now Yami dropped him on his ass and looked around, "Yami Sukehiro, the man who's going to kill you for that attitude one of these days Silva." he said not caring about the man's opinion.
"WHAT!?" everyone from the Black Bulls asked.
"What is everyone worked about? I just saved Asta and apparently Fuegoleon is doing something useful unlike bird ass here." Yami said as he referred to Nozel's odd sense of hairstyle.
Suddenly Charmy raised her hand, "Are you Asta's dad?" she asked.
Yami sweat dropped, "Do I look like this idot?" he asked as pointed at Asta.
"You have spiky blond hair." Noelle said dryly.
"Noelle you need to get your eyes checked. My hair is dark and wavy, not… the hell?" Yami asked as he felt his hair.
"Is he an impostor?" Fuegoleon asked with wide eyes.
"Impossible, I can tell by his personality." Nozel said.
Even Asta picked up on this, "Yami are you really my dad!? I can tell you're the same Yami because your KI is the same." he asked.
"I am not your dad and… oh kami." Yami cursed himself as Gauche summoned a mirror in front of him.
Yami stared at the mirror with wide eyes. His average self was gone. This wasn't the Yami Sukehiro everyone knws. Gone was the tall, slightly muscular partially out of shape guy with dark hair, dark eyes and tanned skin. Instead, it was a slightly shorter still muscular fair skinned young man with blue eyes, whisker marks and blond spiky hair.
Yami looked back at Fuegoleon, "Does that say we're free to go?" he asked.
"In a layman's terms, I suppose yes. However, why is…" Fuegoleon never got the chance to continue to speak as Yami started rounding everyone up.
"Time to go kids, we'll visit next year for Thanksgiving." Yami said only to see one of the guards put an armband on Asta's arm.
"However, we will keep tabs on the boy. Should he leave Clover Kingdom without permission. He will be executed." Damnatio said with a voice of promise.
Yami's eyes glinted at Damnatio, "You say that as if Asta was a threat. Better yet, you say that like you actually have control of the unknown Kira. Don't make promises you can't keep, especially if Silva isn't here next time." he said smirking as he saw Damnatio's right eye blink a couple of times.
This didn't go unnoticed by the other magic knight captains. Almost as Damnatio had an eye problem or… he felt fear.
Later, on the Black Bull
Once the headquarters started to move and Yami officially recruited Secre as a member of the Black Bulls. Yami was trying to regain his other form. Instead the Black Bulls were subjected to Yami failing to maintain his transformation. So the Yami everyone knew and the Yami that was true kept trading places.
"Damn it! Gray, you can transform things right? Can you change me back?" Yami asked the shy blue haired girl.
"I don't think I can. So please stop looking at me!" Gray pleaded as she covered her face.
"Damn it, why did I have to get a shy girl? At least this one is actually helpful." Yami said as Gray briefly thought Yami was praising her.
Meanwhile Vanessa was scooting closer to him, "Wow this is a surprise, Gray is a cute girl and Yami is a handsome man." she said sounding seductive.
"Too bad, handsome has to go and back to gritty and ugly just how I like it." Yami replied as he turned back to normal. "Good, now then…" his transformation came off.
Noelle rolled her eyes, "What does it matter? No one really knows who you were captain." she said.
"It matters to me Noelle. There are some things I don't like to think about and seeing this face adds to the stress." Yami said failing to transform again.
Then Charmy came with a plate of food, "Captain, if you really want to change back. Then maybe you need to build up your magic again." she said.
"Thanks for the food, but it won't help. My power doesn't use magic. We get one magic power each remember?" Yami asked as he grabbed his food.
"Oh yeah, Yami's power isn't transformation like Gray. He uses dark magic." Finral said reminding everyone of that basic information.
"But wait, I remember that Mars had two magics! He could use fire and diamonds!" Asta exclaimed.
"Yeah but Mars was different Asta." Noelle said.
Yami sighed, "Whatever, maybe I can recharge tomorrow or something. Today was stressful enough." he said as today was a disaster.
Ranging from Asta and Marie almost being killed to Yami almost revealing the truth about who he really is. Some of the Black Bulls weren't sure if they should pester Yami since he was rather threatening. That and it's not like they bothered with Gray who's basically a turtle that cries.
However that didn't stop some of them from pestering him. Mainly because while no one tried hard to get any information out of Gray. They thought Yami had more of a mental cognition compared to Gray. So while under the threat of actually being killed, everyone still pestered Yami and wondered if he was hiding something.
"Shut up! I'll answer only three questions! Three only!" Yami said making them be quiet.
Suddenly the squad decided to huddle up, "What do we ask him?" Asta asked.
"Nothing, I don't wanna die!" Finral exclaimed.
"Let's ask him if wants to fight!" Luck said completely ignoring today's events let alone Yami's appearance.
"Everyone, please listen to me." Gordon said as they finally paid attention to him. With all of them expecting something important, "Let us ask Captain Yami about his true opinion on our friendship. For it is our bond that strengthens us and this newfound trust will only increase that strength." he said making everyone face fault.
"Hurry up!" Yami yelled.
Everyone broke up and faced Yami again, "Ok Captain, our first question is…" Magna tried to say.
"Can we fight!?" Luck asked making everyone scream at him.
"No, also you have two questions left." Yami said.
Noelle cleared her voice, "Ok, next question…" she tried to say before being interrupted.
"Why… do.. you… poop.. all… the… time?" everyone heard Henry ask from somewhere.
"HENRY!" everyone screamed.
"Actually that one took a while for me to understand. You see, my culture has different styled food. Because of the travel and change in delicacies. My body can't handle all the dairy this culture uses in every food they eat, therefore my bowels feel disturbed. That's why I keep making Finral teleport me there faster." Yami answered like an intellectual.
"I DID NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT! I WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE TRANSPORTING YOU IF YOU NEVER SAID THAT!" Finral screamed.
"Ew, now my appetite is gone, la!" Charmy said sounding disgusted. Then a minute passed, "Okay, anyone else ready for dinner?" she asked.
Then Vanessa put her foot down, "This one is important so nobody interrupt me!" she yelled with a serious expression causing everyone to back away in fear.
Yami raised a brow, "Okay, what's your question Vanessa?" he asked.
"Why did you hide a handsome face? I mean I don't want to mock your original look, but this adds to the appeal!" Vanessa asked as she leered at his features.
"Because most girls where I'm from like dark haired guys who can't express emotion and are likely asexual. Just look at Asta's friend what's his face. The difference is, that idiot isn't an egotistical maniac." Yami explained unintentional revealing more than he should.
"Okay… wait what's asexual?" Asta asked wondering if Yami meant Yuno.
"It means someone who doesn't want to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend." Vanessa answered.
"So what? Yuno wants to marry a horse?" Asta asked.
*Horse sound effect*
"Yes Asta, your friend wants to marry a horse." Noelle said with a sarcastic voice.
Asta's mind
Yuno cried tears of joy as he hugged a horse wearing a wedding gown, "I am so happy! My ambitions have been fulfilled!" he exclaimed.
"NEEHEE!" the horse yelled out.
In reality
Yami yawned as he finished the dinner Charmy gave him, "Okay, well I'm going to take a nap. Today has been stressful enough." he said as he stood up.
"Captain wait, please as we've been loyal to you. You've been loyal to us in return. So I believe that in return, we have one big question you must answer." Gordon said sounding passionate.
"Okay what is it?" Yami asked as everyone expected something big.
Only to be disappointed, "We're still friends, yes?" Gordon asked.
"Yeah totally, we're best friends." Yami said earning Gordon's creepy grin.
"YOU ASKED THAT ANYWAYS!?" Noelle asked angrily.
"That's it, no more questions." Yami said before hearing a loud crash. "What the hell is going on Henry? Are you keeping this thing steady or not?" he asked.
"Captain… Yami… there's… a…"
"Just spit out Henry, what's going on?" Yami asked sounding irritated.
"Wild animal infestation." Henry said very quickly as another crash was heard.
This time, the whole Black Bull collapsed to it's side. The hit that the headquarters received was hard enough to make it break apart. With Henry screaming very very slowly as it broke apart. Everyone groaned in pain as they landed in awkward spots.
Gauche immediately stood up and ran to Gray, "Thank god you're okay!" he exclaimed.
Gray painfully looked up to him, "You're happy to see…"
"Move out of the way! You're on top of her!" Gauche yelled as he tossed Gray away to pick up his photo of Marie. Immediately cradling the photo as if it were an infant, "Don't worry my little angel. Onii-chan is here." he whispered.
Noelle struggled to stand only to feel a comforting hand, "Are you okay Noelle?" Asta asked.
"No, I felt like…" Noelle opened her eyes as she realized how close she was to Asta.
Well by close, she was lying on top of him. With her face about a centimeter apart from his. Noelle turned bright red from embarassment as Asta grinned at her.
"Well if you want I can…" Asta never finished that sentence as Noelle shoved him away.
As for Charmy, she suffered the most, "NOOO! The food is ruined!" she yelled as tears fell down her cheeks. Her eyes then glared as she looked up at the sky, "Whoever is responsible, I promise I will find you and destroy you!" she yelled.
"Is that so?" asked a voice from behind the half gnome.
"That's right! I'm gonna… oh." Charmy became fearful realizing Mereoleona was standing over her.
Everyone panicked as they saw Fuegoleon's sister and temporary captain of the Crimson Lion Kings. Last time she dragged some of them to a training trip and destroyed their front door whenever she visited. As Yami told them, she's a "wild animal that's on the loose." whenever she came knocking.
"Where's Yami!? My brother told me he's been hiding his real form! Meaning that he's hiding more skill from me!" Mereleona yelled angrily.
"He ran into the forest!" Yami yelled.
Mereoleona grinned, "Thanks whoever you are!" she said running into the forest like a wild animal. Only to run back to him, "Hold on a minute! Was that who I thought it was!?" she asked.
Yami took a deep breathed and stretched his muscles. Everyone watched in curiosity at what Yami was trying to do. The man looked focused as he closed his eyes before cracking his knuckles and squatting. For a minute there, Yami almost looked nostalgic for some reason as he made a strange cross shape with his fingers.
"That's it, this is how it's done. How many years has it been?" Yami asked himself as Mereoleona ran towards him.
"Yami get your ass over here!" Mereoleona yelled.
Yami grinned, "Just once, for old times sake! Taijou Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he yelled as he was suddenly surrounded by at least a hundred doppelgangers of himself.
(Naruto OST - Raising Fighting Spirit)
Everyone's jaws dropped at the sight of the many copies of their captain. They looked around realizing they were surrounded. Although for Mereoleona, she grinned as she punched her fist into her palm as she licked her lips. A fight was brewing and she was more than ready to oblige with someone regardless of what their power is.
"All that's missing is a cake Yami. Because you just made it my birthday today." Mereoleona said as her fists were covered in fire.
"WOAH! I NEVER KNEW CAPTAIN YAMI COULD DO THIS!" Asta screamed with shock.
"Are these illusions?" Noelle asked also looking surprised.
"Wrong, these guys are solid. Not only that, they can use my magic and other power. Though I don't recommend that." Yami boasted as this only thrilled Mereoleona.
"I no longer have one friend, I have over a hundred." Gordon said looking happy.
"No, they're all looking at me!" Gray whined.
"Don't tell me they all need the bathroom." Finral said looking disturbed.
"I think we need more plates." Charmy said thinking of all the mouths to feed.
"I want to fight all of them!" Luck exclaimed with crazy eyes bulging.
Even Henry looked happy, "They… won't… go… away… when… I'm… close… by." he said as the doppelgängers didn't disappear around him.
Mereoleona's smile only became wider, "Everyone back off! They're mine!" she said.
Yami smiled back, "Then you better prepare yourself for my ultimate technique Sisleona." he said only making her excited by the minute. Yami then formed another hand seal, "Ultimate Forbidden Technique of Doom:…"
Everyone watched with anticipation as they wondered what was their captain's true power. Though not all of them knew it, Yami was fairly stronger compared to most other captains. Obviously against someone like Rill and the older Purple Orca's captain, quite possibly Charlotte and Nozel considering that despite the fact they saved him. That was only an increase of numbers and not a display of individual powers. So being a captain that earned his title, it was safe to say a real battle between someone who believes in hard work like Mereoleona would lead to an all out war.
With no one holding anything back as the ultimate technique was about to be released.
"…run away like a little bitch no jutsu!" Yami yelled as he and his army ran away.
"Did he just… YAMI!" Mereoleona screamed as she ran after him.
"What just happened?" Magna asked.
"Yami ran away like a coward I think." Vanessa answered with a shocked face.
"Should we help him?" Asta asked.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" everyone asked him.
With the pair
(Naruto OST - It's The Training)
Thanks to Yami's previous years as a prankster. He developed a lot of stamina and had a talent for escaping tight binds. Only now he had someone more persistent than a certain terrorist group made up of S ranked criminals. It's a good thing Mereoleona was a lioness and not a bloodhound. She can't tell which clone is which.
"I have you now!" Mereoleona said as she punched one in the back and knocked him onto the ground.
Just as she was about to say something. Yami exploded into smoke and disappeared. The lioness growled as the other Yami's started to run up the trees. This only confused and angered her as Yami had another way to escape without using magic.
"You won't get away from me! Mana Zone!" Mereoleona yells as she flies after the next Yami.
Only to punch it hard enough to explode. From there, it was a series of bunshins exploding until Mereoleona got sick of it and blew them all up with a giant fire spell. Subsequently destroying most of the forest they were in with her fire. It was very doubtful that Mereoleona cared if Smokey the Bear arrived and scolded her. If that occured, he would "Smokey The Burnt Roast" and would be served on a platter during dinner at the Crimson Lion Kings.
"We're going to get blamed for this." Finral said with a sigh.
"I can try to use my Anti-Magic to cancel the flames and Noelle can try to put out the fires to keep them from escaping." Asta suggested.
"That… is actually smart. Way to go Asta!" Finral said as Asta grinned at him.
"While I'm at it, I'll try to save Captain Yami or whatever his real name is!" Asta added as he ran into the forest.
"Asta you idiot!" Finral yelled as Noelle ran after her teammate.
"Why do I even bother?" Noelle asked knowing she's always by Asta's side as he was by her side.
Back with the captains
Mereoleona was growling as she destroyed dozens of Yami clones with no sign of the real Yami. The wild animal as Yami calls her kept running around with no sign of giving up or showing exhaustion. However her instincts kicked in as she sensed danger.
"I know you're here somewhere!" Mereoleona roared.
Suddenly she felt her legs being pulled into the ground. Mereoleona struggled to break free only to find herself trapped underground with only her head sticking out.
"Thank kami, I finally stopped her." Yami said only to see Mereoleona breath fire.
"Yami when I get the hell out of here, I'm going to fight you until I can't feel my limbs! And I want to see who gets tired first!" Mereoleona roared as she struggled to escape.
Yami pondered what Mereoleona said and nodded, "Henry pick this crap up! We have about 10-15 minutes to get ready! 20 if Mereoleona decides to put more thought in her escape!" he yelled as he picked everyone up.
A couple of minutes later
Mereoleona was still growling as she made progress from escaping her hole. Unfortunately Henry was only half way done despite Yami trying to rush him even with Charmy feeding Henry to increase his magic reserves.
"Captain… I… cannot… move… faster." Henry said.
Yami sighed, "Damn Henry, you can turn the actual hideout into a raging bull but putting it back together is harder?' he asked.
Henry nodded, "Yes… sir." he answered.
"Well I better do something about her. I doubt Fuegoleon is sending someone to pick up his sister." Yami said as Mereoleona's upper torso was already out and her arms weren't too far ahead.
The last thing anyone needed was another forest fire as Asta and Noelle had gotten exhausted from having to put it out. Then Yami came up with another idea and created a kage bunshin and used a henge to transform it into Mereleona.
"Who am I fighting!?" the fake Mereleona demanded.
"She's right there! She's ready for you buddy!" Yami said patting the bunshin on the back.
The bunshin paled as she saw the real Mereoleona crawling out. Before deciding to run behind Yami to quiver.
"Are you serious!?" Yami asked with a shocked face.
"I'm not fighting a wild animal!" the faker Mereoleona yelled.
The real one sneered, "Yami! How dare you make a cowardly version of me!?" she asked.
Yami made more bunshins and turned them into the other captains, "Fight for me, my army!" commanded.
All the bunshin turned to Mereoleona who only now had a foot in the ground. This prompted them to run behind Yami with the bunshin as they were also cowards. This left Yami wondering if this was just his clones being pathetic or if the real captains were equally cowardly. Nozel he could understand but Fuegeoleon and Jack?
"I may be a pretentious jerk with a good or bad reason for hating my sister. However, I am not stupid enough to fight that." the fake Nozel said.
"My brother doesn't talk like that!" Noelle yelled.
"Behind your back he does. If anything, I'm a lot nicer." fake Nozel said.
Fake Charlotte hugged Yami from behind, "If I die, just know the real Charlotte likes you." she whispered.
"I know that, she's just too chicken to say anything." Yami whispered back.
"That is a total lie! Why would the captain of the beautiful Blue Rose Knights like you!?" Finral asked before being lifted up by his head.
"I have more class than you. Our local womanizer." Yami said as that actually hit Finral hard… metaphorically speaking.
Finally Mereoleona escaped, "Yami get your ass over here and fight me! No more holding back or keeping secrets!" she demanded.
Yami paled before looking at the bunshins, "You idiots can't use the magic of those real idiots, but you still have jutsus. So use them!" he commanded.
"What's he doing now?" Magna asked.
Suddenly every bunshin started launching spheres of water from their mouth. Everyone was either very surprised or disgusted. Thinking that Yami used his fake copies to spit on Mereoleona until she surrendered or until Henry finished rebuilding. It's a good thing Charmy felt extra hungry for some reason and wasn't paying attention to anything around her.
"Don't overdo it Henry. You better eat up!" Charmy said ignoring the situation around her.
"Thank… you… Charmy. Hey… Captain… I… can… get…"
"Just hurry Henry!" Yami yelled as Mereoleona was exploding with fury.
"I was okay with expecting anything, but this is just disgusting." Mereoleona said before destroying each bunshin.
At the same time, most of the Black Bulls were sent flying away. With Yami yelling in fright but not at Mereoleona. Rather a small thing that never bothered him until now. Because he just saw the fake Mereoleona's neck break after the real one hit her with a fire spell.
"What the hell!? Isn't that supposed to give you an existential crisis!?" Yami asked as the bunshin dispelled.
"Ok that's creepy." Asta said as he saw the injured bunshin.
"How do you think I feel!?" Noelle asked as she the bunshin shaped like her brother being impaled by a branch before dispelling.
"Almost… finished… guys." Henry said as the hideout was half way finished.
As Mereoleona came closer, Yami came up with one last idea. Although this technique was something he regretted making, even more than his perverted technique which he deemed as, "The Kage Killer" when he was a small boy. Something disgusting that no man should experience and if anything, people would prefer the perverted technique over what he had planned.
Yami took a deep breath and focused, 'Come on, just don't lose control now.' he thought as he could see his grimoire appear on it's own.
"YAMI!" Mereoleona screamed.
Yami mentally cursed at his terrible situation, 'Damn, not only did the lion decide to run after me. Now the grimoire is freaking out with my chakra.' he thought as the pages started to move on their own.
Mereoleona let out another roar as she attempted to tackle down the Black Bulls captain. When suddenly a black arm with a purple hue spawned from one of the grimoire's pages and aimed for Mereoleona. The lioness ignored the hand as it came close before ripping it in half. Thinking it was just a cheap trick to stun her. Only to quickly find it hard to breath as the hands on the dark arm grasped itself tightly around her throat.
Mereoleona grunted as she came to a halt and tried to burn away. Only to feel as it tightened it's grip and started to asphyxiate her. Mereoleona growled as she refused to give in and continue to use magic. When suddenly, her grimoire fell down on it's own and her magic flickered away.
"Are you hiding a second magic from me!?" Mereleona demanded.
Yami's eyes widened as he tried to control the power, "Oh shit." he muttered.
"What the hell did it do to my magic!?" Mereoleona asked.
Yami immediately ran up to Mereoleona and tried to pry off the hand. Only to struggle as it refused to let go and Mereoleona's magic had yet to return. Yami gritted his teeth as he used every ounce of strength to rip the hand off. When he did, he fell back as the arm broke apart and Mereoleona's grimoire started floating again.
"I'm not done yet!" Mereoleona yelled on to realize her Grimoire floated towards Yami instead of her.
Yami grimaced, "I shouldn't have used my chakra." he said.
"What is it doing now?" Mereoleona asked suspiciously.
"I can't use both powers. And no, I don't know how to control it or it's full extent. I know one ability is I can disable someone's magic and temporarily copy someone else's magic." Yami said as his dark magic transformed into fire.
Mereoleona's eyes were then shadowed by her bangs. Her fangs were very visible, her fists were balled up to the point her fingers dug into her palm and the sounds of heavy breathing were heard. Yami started to step back fearfully when instead of anger, he heard laughter. Cackling that could only be matched by a psychopath in a very good mood.
"You got me there Yami. But do you know what this really means?" Mereoleona asked as her eyes became visible again.
Yami slowly reached for his katana as he prepared for the worst to come. As Mereoleona answered with another laugh.
"You are two things, a strong captain that's stronger than most of us put together. Not only that but…"
As Mereoleona trailed off, Yami became exceedingly pale. Both his skin color and coldness of his sweat would rival that of a cold blooded snake sannin. As Mereoleona gave her final evaluation of Yami upon learning his true power.
"…you are the perfect mate." Mereoleona finishes with a predatory grin.
With that Yami triggered his Mana Zone and blasted away. Moving at speeds could have broken the sound barrier. As the crazy woman made her proclamation. While any ordinary man would feel ecstatic for a woman to practically admit their feelings, especially one who is fairly lovely like Mereoleona Vermillion. Unlike other noble women who are the living antonym of beauty (*cough* Nebra Silva *cough*). Mereoleona was too wild for Yami and too intense, prompting him to run as if the Lioness said she was about murder Yami.
Instead of feeling frustrated again as well as falling behind due to the lack of magic. Mereoleona grinned as she saw Yami run away from her.
"You can keep running, but I'll catch my prey." Mereoleona said before leaving the forest before her magic came back.
Back with the Black Bulls
Henry finally finished rebuilding the Black Bulls headquarters, "It's… finally… finished! Someone… should… tell… the… Captain…" he said very slowly
"I'm here! Let's go!" Yami said as he smashed the doors down and hid himself somewhere in the building.
"Um, what happened to captain Vermilion?" Noelle asked.
"No time brat! Asta, drag your girlfriend in here!" Yami commanded.
Asta proceeded to lift Noelle like a princess, "Right away captain!" he yelled as he ran inside.
Noelle turned bright red from embarrassment, "I am not your girlfriend!" she yelled indignantly.
"Sure you are Noelle. You're a girl and you're my friend! Like my best friend! My best girlfriend!" Asta explained.
"That's not how it works! Also don't say it like that! You make it sound like you have more than one girlfriend!" Noelle screamed just as the building started to move.
"I do!" Asta replied, unaware of what Noelle meant. "Right Nero?" he asked the bird girl.
Nero looked emotionless for a moment. Only for a small tint of red to cover her cheeks for a brief second. Where she proceeded to pull on Asta's cheeks as a response.
"I am not your girlfriend, I am your master and you are my pet." Nero said as she pulled on his face.
"Ow Nero! That hurts!" Asta complained.
Meanwhile Finral came down to a realization, 'Oh my god… Asta is right… he does have more than one girlfriend. Asta has a freaking harem!' he thought incredulously.
Suddenly the images came together in Finral's head. Sure Asta was annoying, short and lacked a lot of intelligence but he wasn't just a nice guy. He was actually relatable and hard working and having a big heart was just a bonus. It wasn't that stereotypical hero vibe that the kid has that attracted women. Finral's proof was the fact that four girls like Asta. Rebecca from that one town, Noelle clearly lies about liking him, Mimosa is always trying to get close and Nero has always been falling Asta since day one.
"I swear, that womanizer better stay away from Marie. My little angel deserves better." Gauch said with murderous intent.
'Oh good, even a child has a crush on him. That makes five.' Finral thought sarcastically.
"Asta is great at making female friends. All of his female friends are my friends and vice versa. That means I also have many girlfriends!" Gordon said with his signature grin, also unaware of what everyone is talking about.
"That's not what it means Gordon." Vanessa said correcting him.
Later that night
Yami was tossing and turning in bed. He was covered in sweat and kicked the sheets off of his bed. Where he proceeded to pant as he clutched his heart as if it were ready to burst. As if something deep within him was burning and making him suffer.
Inside of the seal
Yami opened his eyes and found himself in front of the cage locked by a seal. Those damn red slitted eyes and large fangs hidden within the shadows behind the cage were looking right at him. The beast locked away nearly 30 years ago to keep the village of Konoha safe is just on the other side.
"Did I wander in here on my own or did you call me?" Yami asked bravely.
"You know that neither one of us wishes to see each other. Yet, it's the magic effecting your mind and body." the fox said.
Yami sighed, "I can never put the two together can I?" he asked.
"That's a lie and you know it well." the fox replied. It moved it's massive head closer to cage, "Deep down, you don't bother because of who you are. Why settle with being the strongest or achieving everything when you are satisfied with what you have now?" it asked.
"Because I like it. So don't go on some philsophical rant about good and evil or working hard and hedonism." Yami said wishing he had a cigarette to light.
The fox snickered, "I'm a mindless demon that razes villages remember? Not a therapist." it said sarcastically. "What I do want to say is learn to be happy with yourself. Not out of pity but because the true part of you isn't full yet." it said pointing behind him.
Yami winced at the sight of a ghostly figure with white eyes with pupils that looked like they were black scribbles. Just staring at him, acknowledging his existence but has yet to understand what he really is. Yami slowly turned away from the creature and looked back at the fox.
"And what do you want me to do about it?" Yami asked.
"It's not about what I want, but what you want. Then, maybe you can learn to control your magic." the fox said before walking back into the shadows.
Yami sighed as he briefly looked back at the figure. Where it held out it's palm to reveal his dark magic.
"You are going to be a real pain. More than the other guy." Yami said before a smile creeped onto his face. "It's funny, he claimed to be the real me. My darkness, my true self and desires. Yami Naruto… but even then he was not the full me in the end." he said before the figure disappeared.
The next morning
Yami woke up with a pain filled groan. As he sat up, he felt like his throat was more dry than sand. He shook his head and got dressed as he prepared for another day. Only to briefly look in the mirror and saw that old face.
"Forget it." Yami said as he tried to change his appearance again. With poor results, "Damn, I guess I just have to threaten Grey." he muttered.
When he arrived at the living room as he called it. Yami just picked up a cigarette and newspaper before taking his seat. Just ignoring the usual rowdiness of the squad until an important mission comes up and hopefully not some random thing happening. Like someone attacking the building or Mereoleona barging in here.
Or another invasion for the tenth time in a row. Seriously, what is it with all of these governments and invasions? Nozel mocks Yami for being a foreigner and his civilized manner is advanced as lighting a fire with a lighter compared to anyone else.
Ignoring that, Yami couldn't find that old spark. He cursed his sudden reveal and even when he ignored the awkward stares Noelle and some of the others gave him. Yami closed his eyes and let out a sigh.
'Damn, this too much stress. Normally I'm not like this. What did I do for fun back in the day?' Yami asked himself. Then he came up with an idea, "Finral! Take me to the best ramen stand you know!" he commanded.
"What's ramen? Is that like a soup?" Finral asked.
Yami frowned, "It's like noodles, here we'll take Asta and it can be like a guys day out." he said as he went to look for their shortest magic knight.
Finral got a portal ready that was directed towards the town. Where they would have the misfortune of finding a lack of ramen stands. Yami would be sure to put that in the complaints box after everyone outside of the royal capital gets their homes back.
Blue Rose Knights Headquarters
With a mission for locating ramen turning out to be a failure. Yami gave Finral and Asta the chance to explore wherever they wanted. Of course, Finral also wanted to visit Blue Rose until he remembered that he suddenly wanted to marry the niece of the king of Clover for some reason. Yami didn't know what was going on in Finral's head and he didn't care enough to find out. So instead, he decided to go bother Charlotte seeing as she was likely recovering from her possession by the elves.
Only when he entered her room after dealing with Sol. He found Charlotte contemplating the universe or something.
"Hey Charlotte… Charlotte… Rosalie? I think I'll add focus to the list of things I like in a woman. Strong, focused and not a wild animal." Yami said as he didn't want a woman like Mereoleona. "Damn, I'm almost 30 too. I swear, I'm going to die alone like Silva at this rate." he said by the time Charlotte paid attention to him.
"Hello, do I know you by chance? You almost seem familiar to me." Charlotte said sounding stoic.
"It's me Charlotte." Yami said only to earn a confused look. "Yami Sukehiro, Black Bulls Captain." he said.
"Is this a joke?" Charlotte asked with a glare.
"You have a crush on Yami who is also me." Yami said as Charlotte stiffened.
"Do not accuse me of something so preposterous! I would never love a dirty and absent minded man like Yami Sukehiro! If you had to impersonate a Magic Knight Captain, at least choose a better one!" Charlotte yelled.
Yami groaned, "For crying out loud Charlotte, how many sword wielding magic knights with dark magic do you know!?" he yelled as he pulled out his sword and grimoire. "You are making this harder on yourself. I know I said I liked strong women when I saved you from all of those vines, but now I'm adding intelligent to that list." he said as he put down her "Get Well" gifts.
Charlotte suddenly paled at the final piece of evidence. There is no one else known in the kingdom who uses dark magic let alone using a katana as well. Sure someone could try and fake it, but that memory of when Charlotte met Yami was something that no stalker or impersonator could know. Then again, if it was Yami. He would know about the embarrassing Christmas party.
"Remind me to stop going to your Christmas parties while you're at it." Yami said as Charlotte screamed and ran straight through the wall. Yami then hit his head against the wall, "I hate this. This is what I get for being nice again." he said before looking outside.
Where he could still hear Charlotte screaming at the top of her lungs while running at the speed of light. Since when did nobles of the magic knights suddenly have the bodies of Olympians? Still, someone better go after her before Charlotte destroys something.
A short while later, with Charlotte
Charlotte was far from tired. She continued to run around town while thinking about the revelation. Was that man really Yami? If so, why did he look different? If anything, he looked more like a local than a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes. It was a lot to think about and a big part of her brain was still denying it.
'How? What? Why does he look like that?' Charlotte wondered before she was suddenly tackled down.
"I swear, I never tried this hard to chase down a girl. Actually, have I ever tried chasing down a girl?" Yami asked as Charlotte started squirming. Yami sighed, "Okay, seeing as you are in such good health. You want to run laps around Clover Kingdom. I think we should talk somewhere else." he said as he carried Charlotte away.
'Somewhere else!? Where is he taking me!?' Charlotte mentally screamed.
'I swear, I haven't seen someone run that fast in a long time. I thought Asta was the only one that reminded me of Bushy Brows.' Yami thought.
Later that night
Yami sighed as Charlotte got dressed and met with him at a table overlooking the town, "Are you calm now?" he asked.
"Yes." Charlotte answered as she adjusted her uniform. "And you? With, whatever this is." she said gesturing to his appearance.
"It's stuck and I can't transform for some reason." Yami replied bluntly.
"Well your bluntness is still here." Charlotte said.
"I've always been blunt, I just don't frequently say stupid crap." Yami replied.
Charlotte let out a sigh, "I can only imagine why you need a disguise. It's not like anyone would care what you look like." she said honestly.
Yami looked up at the moonlight, "I care." he said before going into business.
The next morning
After having a long talk with Charlotte about curses and using the one she was born with as reference. Yami did two things that were very important. Having a long yet brief soul searching moment (it doesn't make sense to anyone but himself) and send a team lead by Gordon to visit Gordon's family as they are well knowledgable in curses. So hopefully Gordon and his team composed of Asta and Grey come back with something very useful to help.
'Devils, first it's demons inside of me and now legit devils.' Yami thought as he was writing something out. Yami then snorted, 'I wonder if the fox can talk to Asta's devil. It's not like Nacht is coming back anytime soon.' he thought.
As Yami continued to write something down. He found himself being pestered by Luck once again.
"Captain please fight me! Since you have secret powers, it means you're crazy strong right!?" Luck asked.
"I did fight this crazy guy who can control six bodies one. One body in particular took two minutes to destroy a village that was more or less as big as the capital in strike. I got lucky towards in the end, but that's because he got too eager to win." Yami explained.
"Captain, that sounds far fetched." Noelle said.
Yami snorted, "Noelle, if you saw this guy. Well… let me put it this way. Without any elf magic, he would have brought down the Eye of the Midnight Sun down by himself and the real guy was some boney man in a machine." he explained.
While Noelle refused to believe that Pain existed. It only made Luck more excited at the thought of Yami beating someone that powerful on his own. Now he could see why Mereoleona wants to fight him so badly.
"Captain, please fight me! I'll do anything!" Luck whined.
Yami groaned, "I shouldn't have said anything and Grey isn't helping because I can clearly tell that she can disguise me again." he said wishing Grey was here to hear how angry he is. That's when he realized something, "You know what? Maybe it's time I act like a real captain and do some drills." he said as he stood up.
Luck smiled as he knew this meant he can get the fight he wants. Meanwhile Noelle and Magnum frowned while Vanessa and Henry looked curious. Then there was Zora who didn't look like he cared one bit. Gauche just ignored everything that had nothing to do with Marie. Charmy was making food that she was preparing to eat. Just as Yami was about to add something else to his statement, he heard a loud knock on the door.
"Actually new mission! Barricade the door! That wild animal is back!" Yami yelled as he picked up a hammer and a board.
"Yami it's me!" yelled the voice of Julius.
"Nice try! You can imitate Julius all you want, but I'm not coming out to fight you Sisleona!" Yami yelled as he started hammering.
"It's really me! I wanted to see your new power! I can't believe you withheld it from me!" Julius said excitedly.
"Yeah, you're excited to make me fight you! Go do your Julius impression somewhere else!" Yami replied.
Julius sighed, "Fine, I will prove it's me." he said. "When I met you, you refused to tell me anything about your magic until I bought you food, you always refer to Marx as "Mushroom Head", and we secretly meet up with William Vangence every winter to eat marshmallows by the camp fire." he explained.
Yami wend wide eyed, "If I open that door, Fuegoleon's sister isn't with you is she?" he asked.
"I promise you that she is not." Julius said as Yami opened the door. "I brought Fuegoleon with me instead." he said.
"Greetings Yami, if that is your real name." Fuegoleon said.
"Actually, where I come from, we do family name to given name. So you were calling me the wrong name the whole time… Vermillion." Yami replied.
Fuegoleon closed his eyes, "I see mine and everyone else's mistake." he said. "Nonetheless, I merely wanted to escort King Julius due to his "condition" as you see." he said.
"Yeah, Julius is a midget now. What else is new?" Yami asked.
Outside
Yami stood out in the field in front of his squad, "Okay listen up. Since I just randomly decided to start training you all on the day Julius conveniently decided to visit us." he said as Julius waved at his subordinates. "We're starting off with a challenge." he said.
That's when Yami proceeded to create a kage bunshin.
"This is the kage bunshin, in the academy where I come from. We have the regular bunshin, unlike that one. This one is solid, sentient and can use my techniques." Yami explained.
"You want to read them poetry while you're at it? I'm dying of boredom." the bunshin said.
"Shut up." Yami replied. "Anyways, whoever can beat one of my bunshin gets to be my apprentice. How does that sound?" he asked.
"Pass." Gauche said as he started walking back inside.
That's when Yami proceeded to transform into Marie, "I'll teach all my skills. Which include creating an army of little sisters." he said.
Gauche suddenly walked back into the group, "Are we starting or what?" he asked with motivation in his voice.
Then Fuegoleon raised his hand, "Yami, if you can take the form of another person. Can you duplicate their skills as well?" he asked.
"Nerd." the bunshin said.
"As cool as that would be, the answer is no. Right now, Gauche probably saw 150 discrepancies when I turned into his sister. I just copy forms and while I can also turn into objects, it depends on my knowledge and imagination." Yami explained before the bunshin shot a spit ball at him.
"You weren't this much of a bookworm in school." the bunshin comments.
"Can someone kick his ass already?" Yami asked.
"I'll go first!" Magna yelled as he ran up to the bunshin and threw a fireball.
The bunshin avoided the attack before running at Magna head on. Magna proceeded to swing at it with a bat made of fire. Swinging heavy blows that were too slow before being punched in the gut twice before being given an uppercut in the air. Ending with the clone kicking him into the dirt.
"That was sloppy. Next!" Yami yelled.
Just as Luck was about run in and volunteer himself. Vanessa shoved him out of the way and tackled down the bunshin. As she proceeded to kiss it on the lips. The bunshin then attempted to escape but Vanessa's thread of fate kept it in situations where no such thing would occur. By the time she was done, she wiped her lips and winked at Yami.
"I really don't like alcoholic women." the bunshin said before exploding into smoke.
"Does that mean Vanessa won?" Zora asked.
"No, I… I don't… I can't even explain what that was." Yami answered as he slapped his forehead.
All the while Julius was vigorously writing in his journal. Keeping note of every important detail that is worth studying. All the while Fuegoleon imagines how badly his sister wants to fight now.
"Me next!" Luck yelled as he dashed at the new bunshin Yami made.
Now things heated up, Yami was sure to give his new bunshin a lot of chakra. Despite how wild and uncontrollable Luck can be, the hyperactive boy is a competent fighter. He was no master strategist, but he's not someone that should be taken lightly.
With that in mind, Luck started running at high speeds, "Lightning Creation Magic: Thunder God's Boots!" he yells excitedly.
With his speed increasing, the bunshin had to be careful. However, that didn't mean the duplicate of Yami wouldn't rely on KI. As he focused and began to parry each of Luck's blows. Doing so in rapid succession before finding a good opening.
"Dark Cloak Avidya Slash!" the bunshin yells as his darkness enhanced sword slash sends Luck crashing into the ground.
Luck spent a few seconds on the ground before jumping up, "Let's keep going!" he said.
"Nope, you lose." Yami said.
"Come on captain! You have like 100 abilities I still want to see!" Luck pleaded.
"Fine, we can spar. I've been sitting on my ass too long anyways." Yami said. "But no apprenticeship." he added.
"That's fine, I'm just here for the fights." Luck said.
Then Henry spoke up, "I… also… don't… feel… like…"
20 minutes later
"But… thank… you… anyways… captain… Yami." he finally finished.
"That's fine, you can go if you want." Yami said.
"Okay Gauche, you really want to jump in or do you just want a copy of your sister?" he asked.
"Only if all the details are matching. Thinking about it, you made my little angel look like a sleepy homeless person." Gauche said.
To be fair, Gauche's sister complex is a big mess. Sure, maybe Yami made his henge of Marie inaccurate by making her eye shape wrong, maybe the hair style looked a bit different among other tiny details only Gauche can see.
"Okay, so who do we have left?" Yami asked as he looked only to see Noelle. "Princess, you look tough." he said.
"No." Noelle said as she shook her head.
"Seriously?" Yami asked.
"Yes." Noelle answered.
"So you accept then." Yami said.
"No." Noelle said sounding irate.
"You don't want to fight me to earn an apprenticeship?" Yami asked with a raised brow.
"Yes." Noelle answered again.
"Well then… YOU PASS!" Yami shouts surprising Noelle.
"What?" Noelle asked.
"That's the trick, you don't need to fight whenever trouble comes. You need to use your head. Congratulations Noelle, you're my student now!" Yami said.
"I never agreed to this!" Noelle shouted.
Yami proceeded to lift Noelle onto his shoulder, "Everyone, a round of applause for my apprentice!" he said.
"Wooh." Zora said half heartidly.
"Congratulations young miss." Fuegoleon said.
"Captain Vermillion, please don't encourage Captain Yami." Noelle pleaded.
"I give my blessing for a strong bond between student and teacher!" Julius said very happily.
Noelle groaned as she couldn't help but feel absolutely embarassed.
The next day
Yami stood outside with a cigarette on hand. He contemplated lighting it up like he always does. Instead, he just pockets it away as he waits.
'I wonder what you would do if you were in place.' Yami thought as he closed his eyes. "You probably would have been a better captain, Sukehiro." he said before opening his eyes.
Then Asta came running out, "Hey Cap-Captain, you said you needed to talk to me?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'll make it quick. Don't feel tense, I'm not gonna crush your head again." Yami said.
"Ok." Asta said feeling less nervous.
"I've been thinking lately, you know. One of the reasons I let you join the squad was because you reminded me of, well me." Yami started to say. "Trust me kid, I know what's like to face rejection. Only then, I couldn't use my powers right." he explained.
"Ok." Asta said again.
"I won't go into too much detail about my life. Except, you remind me of this one kid I knew. Like you Asta, he couldn't mold his chakra." Yami said.
"Chakra?" Asta asked.
"It's the power we use, unlike magic. We don't need flying books, tools or anything like that. If anything, magic isn't everything, magic is abused and made people lazy." Yami explained shocking Asta. "Anyways, I'm not gonna give you the rundown on that stuff. I was a bad student anyways." he said.
"Can we go back to the guy that's like me?" Asta asked.
"Yeah, you see Asta. We have ninjutsu which is the power we use and other types. Like genjutsu which casts illusions, kenjutsu which is swordplay and… actually if you can use your powers on it. Just at jutsu to the name of it." Yami said.
"Noted." Asta said.
"Anyways, once again back on topic. This guy was treated like a joke because of his personality and because all he could do was physically fight but not use ninjutsu. Yet, he was the strongest of our generation and could even beat the greatest rookie of my generation with ease." Yami explained. "Using nothing but his hands, fists and determination. That kid was a formidable foe." he said.
"He sounds awesome! Where is he now captain?" Asta asked with stars in his eyes.
"Meh, probably dead in a ditch somewhere. I left home where people are disregarded so… yeah." Yami said making Asta feel depressed. "Anyways, I'm making you my apprentice after we if we can give you a chakra network or whatever." he said.
"Captain, I… what? I thought you said…"
"Listen kid, I cut ties with my home, but I know someone a lot more smart and with a lot of years of experience under his belt." Yami said as he dragged Asta to the side.
"Eh?" Asta asked with wide eyes.
"Besides, Noelle suggested it. She said because you two are so close, she'll be happier if you spend more time with her." Yami said.
"She did?" Asta asked.
"Nope, but her heart said it." Yami said. "I'm just kidding, besides you two have good chemistry and can balance each other out." he said.
In reality, Yami is fully aware that Noelle is developing feelings for Asta. Yami can't blame Asta since he had the same issue, but at least Noelle isn't physically abusing him every 10 minutes or following him like a stalker.
'Yup, you would definitely have been a better captain if you were here instead of me. I hope you're not mad that I took your shape and name, Sukehiro. Ichika already hates me as it is.' Naruto thought as he prepared to teach his first real students.
TO BE CONTINUED?
Clover Clips! #1 - Temari's Ass Whooping
Temari snorted at Asta's form, "I guess Naruto really isn't the hype he makes himself out to be." she said.
"Take that back lady! Captain Yami is an awesome teacher!" Asta said.
Temari scoffed at him, "Futon: Kamatachi no Jutsu!" she yelled as she sent an air jutsu at Asta.
Which Asta blocked, "What the? I'm sorry, can we start over? I think your jutsu got interrupted." he said.
"Kamatachi no Jutsu!" Temari yelled as she did it again.
Asta blocked it again, "Is that it? Wow lady, you're weaker than Yuno and he used to use his magic to dry the laundry." he said.
"Futon: Okakeami!" Temari yelled as she made a more powerful gust of wind.
Which Asta reflected with the Demon Dweller Sword. Causing Temari to struggle against the strong winds before Asta ran into her. Temari quickly tried to swat her away with her fan only to miss. As Asta then proceeded to bring down his sword on the. Causing her to hit the ground really hard.
"You know my captain told me about you. He said you defeated this lazy guy you couldn't even touch. Except you only won because he forfeit."Asta said as Temari sneered.
"You little!" Temari yelled before a giant bird made of wind sent her flying.
"Finish your opponent off next time, Asta." Yuno said.
"Don't steal my fights Yuno!" Asta yelled.
#2 - Gender Swapped
Sol stomped up to Yami, "Say something annoying and I'll not only turn you, but all of Blue Rose into men." he said.
"Yeah right, it's men like you that just hurt nee-chan and make it impossible to…"
"Reverse Orioke no Jutsu." Yami muttered.
The next day
Sol was standing outside of the gates, "Hey let me in! We have to work together to invade the Black Bulls! It's the only way to force their captain to turn us into men again!" He yelled.
Sol was not happy, apparently the magic amplified Naruto's old jutsu to the point even organs were replaced as well as bodily functions. However, hormones may be different but sexuality was the same. A matter of finding someone attractive is just relative so it didn't mean Blue Rose Knights suddenly found women attractive. Unless Sol was a closet lesbian the whole time.
"Sol, get out! I told you time and time again! You never listen and all you do is antagonize! I swear, I'm embarrassed to be feminist because of people like you existing! I understand you came from a town where the men treated like a frail child! Except that doesn't excuse your behavior!" Charlotte yelled and with his new deep voice, it sounded like a roar.
But once again, Sol didn't look effected, "See nee-chan? I knew you understood me. So when are you letting me back in?" he asked.
Charlotte growled as he proceeded to run back inside. Where he proceeded to grab a protein shake and started punching a punching bag with Sol's face on it.
"Even though I'm angry at Yami, I'm still pissed I won't find the confidence to ask him out! Even worse, now I have a sudden need to drink protein!" Charlotte yelled.
The need to fight a punching bag was still the same back when Charlotte was a woman. Only Sol's face wasn't attached to it.
At the Black Bulls
Nebra knocked on the door to the hideout, "Hello, I heard you can turn women into men. Can you turn men like me into women?" she/he asked.
Yami opened the door with a blank face, "I knew you were a man." he said before getting to work.
(A/N: I'm not trying to shame anyone because of their looks, but how does someone that looks like Nebra look that ugly? It's like staring at a pink eyed Noelle in a dress. At least Noelle is pretty. Even Meg Griffin Cosplayers are supermodels compared to Nebra. Is it a metaphor about having a hideous personality?)
#3 Salty Spitoon
Yami smirked as he approached the bouncer, "Hey." he said.
"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ya?" the bouncer asked.
"I ate a bowl of nails this morning." Yami answered.
"So?" the bouncer asked.
"Without any milk." Yami said making the man nervous.
"You can pass." He said as Yami went in. He then looked at Asta's puny form, "Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ya?" he asked.
"How tough am I? How tough am I!?" Asta asked before ripping off the bouncer's tattoo. "I'm so tough, I can remove tattoos. Oh and let me put that back." He said before putting it upside down.
"You can go." the bouncer said wheezing. He then looked at Yuno's skinny form, "Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?" he asked.
"You got a bottle of ketchup?" Yuno asked like a badass.
The bouncer sweat dropped but handed him a bottle. Where Yuno used all of his great strength to try and open it while Sylph cheered him on. Then he got tired and took a break. Then he tried twisting it with all of his might, causing a vein to almost pop out.
"Can I run this under some hot water?" Yuno asked.
"Get out of here, this place is too rough for you." The bouncer said.
"Too tough, I'll tell you this. I stubbed my toe a year ago, while helping Sister Lily with her spice garden, and only cried for 20 minutes." Yuno explained.
"You should go over there." the bouncer said as he pointed in the distance.
"Weenie Hut Jr's!?" Yuno asked.
"Oh, no I meant that other place." the bouncer said.
"Super Weenie Hut Jr's!?" Yuno asked sounding offended. "Okay, how about a fight then?" he asked.
"You challenging me?" the bouncer asked making Yuno backaway.
"No, I meant someone like him." Yuno said pointing at a large man. Yuno then proceeded to approach the man, "Hey fight me, so I can prove how tough I am." he said.
The large man sighed at him.
"You're going down tubby." Yuno said, unsure of the outcome by this point.
Suddenly the giant man turned into Gray who got teary eyed, "Nobody calls me tubby!" she yelled as she punched Yuno in the eye.
The bouncer shook his head, "I better call Wennie Hut General." he said.
End of Clover Clips
