I decided to rewrite my Forget me Not story into The Fishcake and the Onion. I saw too many plot holes in my previous story and wanted to change it. I hope you will understand.

Again, this is a NarutoXHarem story, with a FemKyuubi twist.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Negima.

Story Start

Chapter I
One Life Ends, Another Begins

Valley of the End

Clangs and bangs were heard in a very large valley as two people broke off from each other to the two statues covering the valley.

The first combatant was a mere teenage boy of 16, bordering 17. He had spiky, blond hair with very short sideburns framing his face and had eyes as blue as the very clear skies. On each of his cheeks were three whisker marks that made him look feral. He was adorned with a black and orange jacket with matching pants, which were overlaid with a red cloak with black flames licking the bottom. On his right hand was an ordinary katana while on his left was a tri-pronged kunai with seals on the handle. This boy is none other than the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto.

The second combatant was the elder one. He was wearing a full face mask the fully resembled an eye. There were three concentric rings circling the pupil with three tomoes on the nearest ring. The two tomoes at the base of the ring had eyeholes that show a red eye with three tomoes circling the pupil on the right eye and a purple eye with three concentric rings circling the pupil on his left. In short, the mask reflects both of his eyes. He was wearing a robe with a red-and-white-fan crest on his back, belt sash, gloves and a purple bandanna that tapers off down to his back. On his hands was a war fan that was purple. This man is the self-claimed Uchiha Madara, but now commonly known as Tobi.

It has been one month since the passing of the Fourth Shinobi World War and the escape of Tobi.

Naruto shouted, "Your days of running are over, Tobi! This time, I will defeat you!" He cursed. I can only fight him for so long before I go out. My chakra's almost depleted. How the hell can he have this much?

Tobi laughed. "And how will you do that? Sasuke can't defeat me. The Five Kages can't even lay a scratch on me. Do you think you can do better?" Damn this boy. All my years of planning have gone down the drain, all thanks to this boy. Minato…I'm hating you more.

Naruto smirked. "Of course I can. I have been holding back, Tobi. Sasuke and I have. Both of us trained hard during the one-month gap. The Sasuke who can't beat you is a thing of the past. We are more powerful now."

Tobi laughed more. "Is this a comedy show? The failure of the class, the so-called deadlast, dobe, of the lot, has a power that can beat me? Well, show it to me then! Show me this power that you claim can beat me."

Naruto gave a feral smirk. "Oh, you will. Don't worry. This won't hurt…much." He raised his katana up high, as the katana began glowing red.

With a rescue group

Uchiha Sasuke, the Taka group, and the other members of the Rookie 12 were jumping through the trees, intent on getting the wayward child, out there battling the mastermind of the group.

Sasuke kept his face stoic as he felt some demonic chakra buildup on the horizon. So, you have gone all-out, eh, Naruto? Just hold on. We're coming.

Neji and Hinata, both of whom had their Byakugan activated, gave a yelp of pain.

Kiba asked, "Hinata, Neji, what's wrong?"

Both Hyuugas deactivated their doujutsus as Neji said, "The chakra buildup. It's incredible! I have never seen anything like it!"

Karin opted to say, "What is this chakra? It feels both ominous and dark, and serene and calming, at the same time!"

Neji said, "This ominous chakra must be the Kyuubi. And the serene, calming chakra must be Naruto's Sage Mode."

Sasuke ignored them all, in favor of getting to Naruto.

Just then, there was a large explosion of red energy in the horizon, and an intense gust of wind blew in all directions. The others stopped, all except Sasuke.

Suigetsu noticed and said, "Oi, Sasuke! Don't go running off! That chakra looks deadly!"

Sasuke just kept on going forward, ignoring Suigetsu.

Sasuke clenched his fists.

With Naruto and Tobi (a few minutes later)

Naruto was panting as his sword stopped glowing red and he stared down at the fallen form of Tobi.

Tobi coughed. "Wh-*cough*-what is that power? It feels like Kyuubi's chakra…but not it, at the same time! It feels even more powerful than I remembered!"

Naruto replied, "That is the result of my hard work in gaining my bijuu's trust and belief. My bijuu and I have each other's backs."

"How…how could you have that power," he shouted. "This should not be possible!"

Naruto raised his katana and said, "Look underneath the underneath, Tobi. And perhaps you might be able to match me." He was about to slice off Tobi's head when Tobi suddenly stood up and slammed a fist onto Naruto's gut.

Tobi whispered into Naruto's ear, "I may have been defeated but I will not go down alone. If you and Kyuubi are in tandem, then I will cut off your connection from it." Tobi grabbed Naruto's face and said, "Fuinjutsu: Kansho no Boshi (Sealing Technique: Prevention of Interference)…Fuinjutsu: Tsuito no Kusuri (Remembrance Blocker)."

Tobi's hand glowed blue before Naruto screamed in pain. Tobi grunted in pain as he looked down and saw Naruto's hand plunged into his torso, running his blade through it. Tobi slowly let go of his hand and fell to the ground, removing the blade from his gut, and passed out on the floor.

Naruto went on his knees, grasping his head, as it forcefully sealed off his memories and Kyuubi. He felt Kyuubi trying to hold it off but only managed to prevent the blocking of his basic info.

He felt faint before he succumbed to the temptation and he fell to the water going down the valley, thereby pushing him further into the seas.

Someone appeared beside the fallen Tobi. He had a hulking form, his face and body covered by a mask and robe, showing only his clawed hands and hardened eyes. He said, "This could prove interesting. You won't die yet, old one. We may have some use for you yet." He carried Tobi over his shoulder and looked on at the roaring waves. "And as for you, Kyuubi container, you will prove to be a thorn in our side, just as your father before you." He raised his free hand and the waves roared louder. "The seas will be your grave and the sharks will be your worms." Thunder crashed and the winds howled as Naruto was slowly submerged by the roaring waves. The man darkly chuckled, as a light mist blanketed the area. "This mist will dull the senses of the other ninjas. So ends the legacy of the Kiroi Senkou." With a pop, the man, and Tobi, disappeared.

Almost an hour later, Sasuke appeared. Sasuke looked around. "Where are they?" He jumped to the other statue head and did the same. "They're not here." He jumped down from the statues and continued his search for Naruto and Tobi.

The others appeared. Suigetsu said, "Oi, Sasuke, what's gotten you in a hurry? Didn't you feel that large chakra?"

Sasuke replied, "Karin, find them."

Karin was surprised a bit before nodding and activating her sensing technique. Neji and Hinata activated their dojutsus.

Karin said, "I can't sense anything. There's nothing here."

Sasuke tried to well in his frustration at the lack of information.

Neji and Hinata deactivated their dojutsus. Hinata shook slightly as Neji said, "I can't see anything beyond the Valley."

Kiba sniffed the air and said, "Well, I can smell that Tobi guy and Naruto's scent covering the whole area but nothing beyond that."

Shino added, "My kikkaichu told me that there are traces of Naruto's and the other man's chakra in various areas of the Valley but that is all."

Shikamaru frowned as he looked at the slightly blurred skies. "Do you think that this mist is preventing our abilities to work?"

Shino paused for a while and shook his head. "I highly doubt that. There are no traces of any chakra in the mist."

Sakura countered, "Don't rule it out just yet. I doubt that the attacks of Naruto and that Tobi guy can cause this mist."

"It is possible. But, how can an ordinary mist prevent the usage of our abilities without utilizing chakra?"

Sakura was silent.

Juugo walked over to the side and picked up the remnants of a torn scroll. "Wasn't this scroll on the back of Naruto when he left?"

Sasuke turned to him and said, "Yes…that is what Naruto had at his back. That is the Reverse Summoning Scroll, in case if Naruto needs immediate Senjutsu chakra." He returned his sight back to the Valley and looked up at the rain. He said, "Can you guys try again?" His voice was getting cracked. "Please, try to find Naruto."

They gave another try. They even split up and went as far as 50 meters from the Valley to look for him. When they returned, they had empty hands.

Sasuke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he looked up at the rainy sky, remembering Naruto's words on the day he brought him back.

"Do you want to know something weird, Sasuke?"

"Go ahead."

"I sometimes wished that I was not born a ninja."

"What do you mean?"

"All this pain, all this grief, I sometimes wanted it to end. You would know what I'm talking about, Sasuke. My parents died on the Kyuubi attack. Everyone hated me for being Kyuubi's jinchuuriki. I was the so-called deadlast in the group. Sakura always punched me for just asking for a little time together. After Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha, the Sandaime, a person close to me, died. You defected to Otogakure for power. I was battling with the Kyuubi for dominance in my psych. Ero-sennin died fighting Pain. Now, I felt the pain of every ninja who died on the battlefield. With all those hardships, one might wonder why I am still happy-go-lucky and all that."

"Do you know why?"

"I wonder that myself. But, there are times where I came close to my breaking point. Those times, I wished that I was born normal, born ordinary, not born into a land of war and constant pain. But, the thought of losing my friends prevented me from fully wishing it. To me, my life is only second to the life of my friends. That's why I spent most of my life trying to bring you back, Sasuke. Even if I die, I will die with a smile on my face because I succeeded in bringing you back."

Sasuke was grieving. This is the third time he cried. The first was when his clan was buried. The second was when he heard the truth about Itachi.

Sasuke slowly said, "Let's go. There's no use in looking for him much longer. We'll declare him KIA. That's the best we can do."

"NO!"

That shout came from Hinata, who was shaking uncontrollably. "We have to keep looking! We have to find Naruto-kun!"

Neji tried to put a hand on her shoulder but it didn't soothe her.

Hinata began shouting, "Is that it? We came all the way out here to help Naruto-kun fight this Tobi person and when he's gone, you will just leave him here? Where is the Uchiha Sasuke that Naruto-kun brought back? Are you going to give up on him whereas he didn't give up on you?"

Sasuke flinched.

Ino started, "Hinata, that's going a bit too far. You're probably tired from going here. Let's just go home."

"I won't stop until I find concrete proof that Naruto-kun has fallen!"

Sasuke slowly said, "And what made you say that Tobi won't just use a last resort Katon jutsu to burn his body and prevent anyone from seeing his body?"

Hinata couldn't take it anymore. She pushed Neji away and was about to jump off, in a search for Naruto, if it wasn't for Shino appearing behind her and knocking her out, via a chop to the neck. Shino caught her and carried her over his shoulder.

Chouji said, "You know, I think that you won't survive Hinata's rage when he wakes up."

Shino monotonously replied, "You would prefer we do the alternative? We let her tire herself uselessly searching for someone whom multiple sensors can't find? I would rather face her wrath than to face my guilt over letting her do this and die both inside and out. Come, let us return to Konoha and report to Tsunade-sama about this."

Sasuke watched as the others jumped away, leaving him there alone. He gave one last look towards the horizon and jumped away.

Meanwhile, in the bottom of the sea

Right now, Naruto is unaware that he would die in the bottom of the sea. He is unaware that he was going to die without finishing his rematch with Sasuke. He was unaware that he is going to die a virgin!

Luckily, nature had other plans. Two sharks swam underneath him and had Naruto's unmoving arms drape themselves over their bodies and they swam away to the great unknown. Thankfully, the sharks remembered to rise to the surface every once in a while to allow Naruto to breathe.

Sometimes, it is quiet rewarding to be a friend of nature: a Sage.

Nearly an hour later

The sharks got as close as they can to the shore and let Naruto float to it. The two sharks turned around and left the premises, leaving Naruto in the hands of his would-be rescuers.

It wouldn't be that much later when a certain brown-eyed, good-natured, cute-faced, brunette princess would walk along the shore, as is her favorite pastime, and would see our favorite blond.

Konoe Konoka sighed again in disappointment as she felt the waters tickle her feet. Set-chan has been avoiding me lately. Why would she want to do that? Aren't we friends? She sighed again. I miss the good old days, when Set-chan and I would play every day. She looked up and saw something that she would consider as weird.

It was a blond boy, possibly her age or so, unconscious and unmoving.

Her eyes widened as she rushed over to his side. She knelt down and touched his neck for a pulse. She found one. She sighed in relief. Thank goodness, he's still alive. But…how did he get here? She looked towards the ocean before giggling and shaking her head. I'm such an idiot. There's no way he could have managed to get here through the ocean. She turned to Naruto and looked at him. Ooh, those whisker marks are cute on him and the hair adds to his appeal. She turned to his state of clothing and she blinked. Ara, how could he have gained such tattered clothing? And what is it with that sword? She put her hand on the blade and drew it. She examined the blade and mentally awed. Wow, what a beautiful sword! It's even more beautiful than Set-chan's! She gave it one last look and she returned it to its sheath. She put her head over Naruto's, hearing his low breathing.

Suddenly, Naruto's snapped open to see Konoka's surprised ones. Konoka smiled. "Good morning."

Naruto gave a yelp and rolled away, to get a face full of sand. He immediately rose and sputtered out some sand. "Yuck, that tasted bad!"

Konoka giggled, getting Naruto's attention.

Naruto scratched the back of his head, sheepishly. "Sorry about that."

Konoka said, "Don't worry. It was a reflex. I hope you'll forgive me."

Naruto said, "It is fine. There's no harm done." He looked around. "Oh, yeah, where am I?"

Konoka stood up and said, "You're in Mahora School grounds. I'm Konoe Konoka. And you are?"

Naruto followed her exampled and said, "I'm Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, pleased to meet you."

Konoka giggled. "What a weird name you have. It means both 'Fishcake' and 'Maelstrom'. How cute~"

Naruto's brow twitched as she giggled.

Konoka patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Naruto-san. That was a joke."

Naruto gave a grin. "It's fine." He turned his sights to the buildings before him. "Hey, Konoka-san, do you know who is the leader of Mahora School?"

Konoka blinked. "Yes, he's my grandfather, the dean of Mahora School. Why do you ask?"

Naruto smiled at her. She had a light blush on her face. "I see. So, I suppose you wouldn't mind if I ask to be escorted there? I am kinda new here."

Konoka gave a smile in return. "Oh, it's nothing at all! Come on, let's go see grandfather."

Naruto followed after Konoka to the city, unaware of things that happened before his mysterious arrival to Mahora.

Dean's Office

Dean Konoemon Konoe was busy on his paperwork, ignoring the constant pain on his wrists, when there was a knock on the door.

He looked up and said, "Who is it?"

To his surprise, his granddaughter's voice answered, "It's me, grandfather."

Konoemon blinked. "Come in, Konoka." When the door opened, he was surprised again when there was someone who followed after Konoka's entrance. However, the real shocker (and he thought that he almost had a heart attack) was that this person looked so much like a person he was familiar with in the past.

Spiky, blond hair and cerulean, blue eyes, those two are the combination of Namikaze Minato.

He tried to hide his surprise and asked, "Oho. Who is this person, Konoka?"

Konoka answered, "This is Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, grandfather. Isn't it cute? His name is 'Fishcake' and 'Maelstrom'."

Naruto's eyebrow twitched again. "It's 'Maelstrom'."

Konoka giggled as she patted Naruto's shoulder again.

Konoemon narrowed his eyes. Well, he has that charm with people of the opposite sex and that calming aura. However, there's something deeper, something more…demonic inside of him. That was when he connected the dots. Ah, now I see. This is Minato-kun's son. I heard from Eishun that Minato died sealing the Kyuubi inside his son. However, what is he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be in his hometown?

Konoemon spoke up, "Well, it seems that you two are well-acquainted."

Konoka nodded. "He wanted to talk to you about something."

Naruto turned to Konoemon. "Yes, well, you see, I have no idea how I got here. In fact, I don't even know why everything prior to my arrival here is all a big blur."

Konoemon blinked. "I suppose you have retrograde amnesia, Naruto-kun. What do you remember about your past then?"

Naruto closed his eyes, making him look like a fox, a thought that Konoka was willing to voice out.

Konoka hugged his arm, making Naruto blush a bit. "You're so cute! You look like a fox!"

Naruto used his free arm and scratched the back of his head. "Well, thanks, I guess. Anyway, the only things I remember are who I am, basically. I know my name, my birthday, my age, and all that. I also remember that I have these weird ninja powers. That's all I have."

Konoka blinked confusingly. "You're a ninja?" She looked at his attire. She put a hand on her chin. "Your clothes say otherwise, Naruto-san."

Naruto shrugged. "What can I say? I like orange."

Konoemon nodded. "I see. So, what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know, frankly. Even if I know what my homeland is, I don't know where to start."

Konoemon frowned behind his folded hands. Should I tell him about Konoha? Then, something caught his eye. It was a file of his new teacher. Hmm, then again, I don't even know which direction is Konohagakure no Sato. For now, I'll just have to employ him as an assistant teacher here and an additional guard for Konoka. He said, "Well, I have a proposition for you, Naruto-kun."

Naruto and Konoka glanced at him.

"Would you like to stay here as an assistant teacher and as a bodyguard for Mahora's students?"

Konoka's eyes widened. Naruto blinked.

Naruto said, "Why?"

"You just said it yourself earlier. You have some ninja skills. Basically, that encompasses physical training. You will be teaching Physical Education while using your ninja skills to protect Mahora's students from trouble."

Naruto gained a small smile before he crossed his free arm across his chest and bowed. "I'm honored, Konoe-dono. I will do those things with pride."

Konoemon immediately stood up and clapped his hands happily. "That's settled then! By the way, would you be interested in dating my daughter?"

As fast as he finished it, Konoka suddenly appeared beside him and hit him on the head with a mini mallet.

Naruto looked from where she was to his side. How did she…you know what? I don't want to know.

Konoka said, "Oh, grandfather," though she has a slight pink hue on her face.

Naruto gave a smile. "I'm quite happy that you asked that, Konoe-dono. Indeed, your granddaughter is quite a beauty," Konoka blushed heavily, "and no doubt that she will be even more beautiful in the future." Konoka turned tomato red. "However, from what I recall, no teacher may have a relationship with a student."

Konoemon chuckled. "You're quite a charmer, Naruto-kun." He turned to his blushing granddaughter. "Now, Konoka, why don't you prepare for the first day of school?"

Konoka went out the door with a slight skip in her step.

Once the door closed, Konoemon said to Naruto, "Well, I have to be honest with you, Naruto-kun. There is another reason why I asked you to be a bodyguard for this school."

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

In Konohagakure no Sato – A few hours later

Rain

Rain symbolizes many things. To some, it is tranquility. To some, it is innocence. To most at this time, however, it is the symbol of grief and sorrow.

The source of their grief is the believed falling of their hero. It has never rained this hard before.

The hardest to compete is the death of the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato, a person with a kind and gentle soul. It seems only fitting that the skies weep for his son, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, the only person who placed others before himself, willingly went to all lengths to win this war, the only person who had the purest soul since his father.

As the crowd began gathering at the ceremonial service, one Uchiha Sasuke stood in front of the casket of his friend, which is only filled with the Reverse Summoning Scroll that was recovered from the Valley.

"Sasuke," a voice called out. He turned and saw the Godaime Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara, beside him, staring at the 'Naruto-less' casket.

Sasuke said, "Hey, Gaara. What is it?"

"Out of all the people here, you are the only one who understood Naruto the most. Even I was a meager second place in understanding him. Between the two of us who understood Naruto the most, do you think Naruto is still alive?"

Sasuke frowned before turning to the casket. "My feelings tell me that he is still among the living. However, with the life he's lived in Konoha, the pain he has faced, I believe that I should let him live his life in peace wherever he is, until we meet again."

Gaara nodded. "You are truly an interesting individual, Sasuke."

"However, I'm not as interesting as Naruto."

Sasuke turned to the other members of the Rookie 12.

Sakura had her arms wrapped around herself, her hands grasping her coat as she cried. Ino was basically comforting her, while crying all the same. Sai had a sad look on his face, a genuine sad look. Shikamaru was smoking on an unlit cigarette, his face marred by a sad expression. Beside him, Chouji was crying over the loss of his friend, the bag of chips lay forgotten on the floor. Neji's face cannot be seen underneath his hood, but the water droplets the fell from his chin indicated his tears. Lee had tears leaking out of his eyes, not in his youthful way, mind you. Tenten was beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder. Kiba had clenched fists and his teeth were gritted as tears glistened from his face. Akamaru whimpered in sorrow beside him. Shino was quite unreadable underneath his glasses.

One girl, however, got Sasuke grieving more. Hyuuga Hinata

The moment she regained consciousness, she went wild. She unleashed female hell that everyone didn't know she had. It all stopped when Tsunade stepped in and silenced the matter.

Sasuke saw that she didn't have a cloak. She was only wearing her everyday wear. Her hair was unkempt, probably from thrashing around in her room after Tsunade came in. Her eyes were bloodshot with tears streaming down her face. Her normally beautiful face was marred by a dead, haunted look.

Sasuke walked over to her. Hinata glared at him. Sasuke removed his cloak and gave it to her. She refused.

She said, "I have no need for a cloak, Sasuke. I'll be fine."

Sasuke frowned. "Your appearance says otherwise. Hiashi and Kurenai wouldn't like it if you were stricken by a sickness."

"Now you show concern for me, Sasuke. Why? Is it because you pity me? Spare it."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Is this what Naruto would have wanted for you? Would he want you to be continually depressed for the rest of your life? Where is the girl that fought for Naruto when Pain invaded Konoha? Where is the strong-willed girl that fought tooth and nail in this war for Naruto?"

Sasuke was unprepared for a slap to his face, courtesy of Hinata. Then, he felt someone grab his cloak.

Sasuke gave a smirk, as he stared at the cloaked form of Hyuuga Hinata. "Ah, there it is."

Hinata narrowed her eyes before her face vanished underneath the hood.

Sasuke walked to his seat beside Gaara.

The procession has begun.

In Mahora – In the Dean's Office – Nighttime

Naruto sighed as he rolled over his current bed, the couch of the Dean's office. Since there aren't any new/vacant rooms, the Dean was gracious enough to give him his room as his temporary residence.

Well, this has been a busy day. He frowned. Magic exists in this place, huh? Don't worry, Konoe-dono. I will protect this school…even if this school is filled with girls. With that, he went off to sleep.

Story End

Well, this is the first chapter rewrite of The Fishcake and the Onion.

I hope you'll like it.
