How was he at the top of the class?
'All he does is sleep during every class but gym class... he sleeps most of the day.' Yukari looked as a sleeping Naruto got a test back from their homeroom teacher, and she saw that he had a perfect score on his test yet again. The teachers, due to his sleeping, were giving him extra homework and extra tests just to show him the importance of paying attention in class.
He aced them.
When a bully tried to mess with him, he messed with them right back, and overall everyone who wasn't an asshole really liked him. He was just a genuinely nice guy when you weren't putting yourself on his bad side. He had the charisma of a natural born leader, able to make friends wherever he went, and had the strength to stop bullying where he saw it.
She was a Witch, but nobody had bullied her while he was in the same room as her, all the bullying she faced was behind his back.
-During Lunch-
'He's eating with that girl from the other class again... oh right... aren't they from the same village?' Yukari watched as Naruto ate lunch with Mizore. The two blue eyed teenagers were just eating school lunches together. Considering it was mentioned that they were together on the bus to school, and were together when they got picked up, and they were from the same village, it was a strong possibility they were the same general species.
A Yuki-onna and Yuki-otoko.
Still, it was unusual to see a Yuki-otoko go to a monster school, since they were pretty much just normal humans who could resist the cold. He was practiced in some kind of magic, so maybe he was allowed to leave their village because he was strong enough to just beat monsters.
"Uzumaki!"
'A fight... and that guy's a really huge, muscular upperclassmen.' Yukari got her wand. She was ready to return the favor for how Naruto helped her. The enemy was massive, a rather handsome older man carrying heavy dumbbells.
"Names Chopper Rikiishi, member of the Pro Wrestling Club... and I heard from some weaklings that you're pretty strong."
"Cool... okay, so you want to fight me... well... that's fine by me." Naruto spoke between bites.
Chopper's body grew and his shirt was ripped off of his body, and his true form was revealed in that instant. It instantly gained a lot of attention from the other students in the cafeteria when one of their own broke the rule on transforming. He raised a single giant hand, and swung it down towards Naruto.
He froze.
Naruto's fist was imbedded between his heart and lungs, deeply bruising his body and cracking his ribs. The guy was unable to move or breath, his attack stopped by his pain. He collapsed backwards with blood leaking from his mouth. Yukari froze as well, and sat back, putting her wand away when Naruto defeated the Troll with a single well placed punch. She puffed her cheeks out, and stared at Naruto with annoyance.
'He's good in class, and he doesn't need my help in fights... how am I suppose to repay him for helping me?' Yukari wanted to show her thanks to Naruto, but she had nothing that she could do to help him. He was charismatic, strong, and able to keep up with his schoolwork even when the teachers gave him extra work. His only flaw was that he slept through almost all of his classes during the day that could be slept through.
-That Night-
She was tinkering.
It was the creation of magical tools, but she enjoyed making them as a hobby, even though she didn't have any that were working at the moment. She had finished her homework, and then finished studying, so now she was sitting in the girl's dorm with the moon's light coming in through the window. She was working on a random magic item, hoping that she could think of a way to improve it as she took it apart and put it back together.
'Is that Naruto?' Yukari saw yellow out the window.
Naruto was outside the girl's dorm, and he was heading towards the forest outside of the regular school grounds. His yellow hair was so obvious in the darkness of the night that she had little trouble spotting it. Grabbing a broom and her wand, she opened the window and jumped out of it, before she followed Naruto through the forest, keeping a track of his hair from above.
Was this why he was asleep during class, because he did something at night?
He raised his hands up.
"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Yukari almost fell off of her broom when hundreds of perfect copies of Naruto appeared all around the forest. She could hear the steps of their feet on the ground, showing they weren't illusions made to trick people, but were flesh and copy clones that he summoned for no seeming purpose. He just used an extremely complex and unknown magic that she couldn't even begin to understand. Spells controlled an existing matter, or converted energy into elements. What he just did broke not just the laws of magic, but the laws of nature in that he made matter out of nothing.
"Amazing..." Yukari wondered why Naruto had used such a magic spell so late at night.
Then the punches and kicks started to fly as Naruto sparred with his clone army, who were all targetting him specifically. Their movements were too fast for her to track, and it seemed like they kept glitching to her eyes. She could only see them when their fists or feet collided with each other, which caused them to stop moving for a second. The movement speed that they used to get from place a to place b was just incredible.
Easily within the realm of a Werewolf under the Full moon, maybe surpassing those levels of speed.
He used no martial arts style that she could recognize, but none of his movements had any waste movement in them. He struck at the core of his clone's bodies, and knocked them back, dispelling the magic used to create them. When he dodged, he dodged by a hair's breath so that he could counter attack as quickly as possible. It was a beautiful display of simplistic brutality, in that there was no martial arts involved, but the display of raw fighting skill couldn't be denied.
He tore through copies of himself like water through a fireball.
Not to say he didn't get hit, but he tanked the hits he took and defeated the clones who had hit him. What was more amazing was that the same trick a clone used to hit him, didn't work on him twice. His movements were getting sharper, more precise, with each several dozen clones he defeated. By the end of the battle, she figured he would be more skilled a fighter than he was before.
Once about 700 clones were defeated, and Naruto was sweating, he raised a hand.
"Okay, that's good for Taijutsu practice. Now... it's time for Rasengan practice." Naruto created Rasengans in both hands, and all the remaining clones did the same thing.
Condensed magic.
'Incredible... it's beautiful and complex. That sphere is made up of an impossibly complex number of spirals, all formed within the shape of a sphere. The amount of control a witch would need over her magic to do something like would take several lifetimes of effort... and he does it with one hand like it's second nature to him.' Yukari watched as Naruto cancelled out "Rasengans" from his clones with his own, and reformed them so that he could keep cancelling them out.
It was incredibly dense.
It was a heavy, dense, energy stuffed inside of ball form, enough that she could easily imagine burning her hands just trying to replicate this feat of magical engineering. Whoever created this technique made it for the purpose of killing, because such a technique would kill most monsters it made contact with. She doubted anything lesser than an A-class monster would be able to survive a hit. It was offensive, defensive, and complex.
It was simple, but complicated and beautiful.
She had only gotten a brief look at it in class, but now she was seeing it again.
'The speed he forms the Rasengan increases with each clone he defeats... I see! His clones, they take their experiences and transfer them back to him! That's why his hand to hand skills were improving so quickly... that's how he can keep up with classes' Yukari figured it out.
It was amazing to think such an amazing magic could exist, one that could cram years of experience in a short amount of time. Since she had never seen such magic before, she could only imagine that Naruto had invented it, and he was a master of using it's knowledge transfer ability.
The mental exhaustion that he had to experience from this training had to be immense.
No wonder he slept in class, he stayed up all night mentally and physically exhausting himself with his training, so sleeping during the day was his way of recovering. If he had his clones study with him, then it would be a simple matter for him to get to the top of the class and stay there.
-The Next Morning-
She had to sleep, so she stopped watching his training.
"Zzzzzzzz."
'No wonder he is so tired during the day, he must have spent hundreds of hours training last night. His mental strength must be insane to handle this kind of pressure.' Yukari looked at Naruto with stars in her eyes.
"Wake up Uzumaki, class is about to start, and I'm getting sick and tired of you making this class look like fools."
"Leave him alone!" Yukari stood up and defended Naruto from the usual suspects, back again to try and show some kind of superiority over Naruto. The bully lifted a single hand to smack her.
"Shu-... whatever Witch."
'He didn't even bother with...' Yukari looked to see that Naruto had stopped snoring, and he was staring at the bully with one eye open, a sharp and dangerous expression. Naruto was asleep, but the second any ill intention was sensed, he was on the alert. Yukari watched him slowly close his eye again, before his gentle snoring was audible once more. So, she sat down at her desk, and watched him as the teacher entered the room to begin class.
She sighed and just stared at Naruto's face, smiling.
'I know I'm not special to him... that he's the kind of guy to protect anyone in need, but still... he's such an awesome guy, and I want to show him I appreciate him helping me... oh! Is that a spellbook!' Yukari saw a special book sticking out of Naruto's bag. She looked at him asleep, so she reached for the book to sate her curiousity.
She didn't have any ill intention, so he stayed asleep when she grabbed the book, and while the teacher was teaching, she opened his spellbook.
'This... isn't a spellbook... this is just a punch of baby pictures, with names and birthdays.' Yukari was confused when she saw a big book of nothing but babies. Each page in the book had 9 baby pictures on it, with the names of those babies and they day they were born. She raised an eyebrow when she saw that all of the babies had whisker marks, and some of them had Naruto's features like his chin or his nose.
There were hundreds of pictures.
Her eyes widened.
'... Strong, determined, charismatic... and now sex god... how many kids does this guy have?' Yukari flipped through more and more pages, she was in the hundreds of baby pictures. It was awhile of flipping through pages before she got to the blank pages that were waiting to be filled with more baby pictures. She slipped his book back into his bag, she with a red face, she looked back towards the front of the classroom.
No wonder he worked so hard to get strong.
He had an entire village worth of babies to protect at home, he had real motivation to work his ass off.
THAT was impressive.
