"Naruto!"

The whole village was in an utter state of shock, for their blonde hero had disappeared before their very eyes. Immediately, some of the higher ranking ninja started to form a search party for the missing teen while the Konoha 11 went ahead, determined to find their friend and find out what happened to him. The toads, meanwhile, began a search of their own as they formed hand seals to reverse summon the young sage from whatever place he had been brought to.

As Pa toad formed the seals, one thought prevailed in his head. When Naruto disappeared, it was strange. He had never seen that type of summoning before. Usually, it was just a cloud of smoke similar to the ones as a normal summoning, not disappearing in a flash of light. At first, he thought that it was the Hiraishin, but only the Yondaime Hokage knew how to use that jutsu, unless Naruto had learned it secretly. He slammed his webbed hand onto the ground. That was not a normal type of reverse summoning. Heck, it might not even be a reverse summoning at all!

As the ANBU and jōnin's set out on their search, the villagers hoped that the blonde was okay. For years, they had ignored Naruto because of the fox sealed inside him, but now did they realize that it was foolish of them to do that. He was not the fox. He was its container, its jailor. He was the one thing that was keeping them safe from it. They all felt sympathy for the blonde. He carried such a burden, and instead of supporting him, they had scrutinized him. Was this the gods form of punishment? To take away their hero?

Meanwhile, outside Konoha's boundary, a figure watched as the shinobi of Konoha began to look for Naruto. He stood atop a tree branch, his Sharingan eye spinning as he looked down upon the crowd of people gathered at the village's entrance. He wore a black cloak with a red cloud design and an orange spiral mask. To many, he was feared, but to others, he was idolized for his power and ability to fight on par with the First Hokage, who was considered the greatest ninja of his time. The fight caused the creation of the Valley of the End, which still remains today, a testament to their skills. There was only one man who could accomplish such a feat, who possessed such power. He was the former leader of the Uchiha clan, one of the first to unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan alongside his younger brother. He was the instigator of the night of the Kyūbi's attack, the reason why Naruto became a jinchūriki. He could control the Kyūbi with his Sharingan, a feat that had previously never been done before. He created the Akatsuki, and had controlled the organization from behind the scenes. Under the alias of Tobi, he had secretly given orders to Pain while in public, he acted as an idiotic moron...

Nobody knew what his face looked like underneath the mask, but according to his claims...

He was none other... than Madara Uchiha.

Or was he?

Madara smirked. Unbeknownst to them all, and much to his relief, there was a very small trace of where Naruto had been taken to. It would take a while, but in time, he would be able to make a jutsu that would enable him to go to the blonde. And this time, Konoha won't be there to protect him, and his capture would be much easier. However, Madara knew not to underestimate Naruto, for he did defeat Pain. No, it wasn't him that was going to fight the blonde. It would be someone with much promise, his... protégé, or so to speak. Thinking about it made him smile in anticipation. Their battle was going to be very entertaining indeed...

'Sigh...why can't I just leave!'

Having hidden from sight for a few hours now, Naruto was getting extremely annoyed. For some reason, he had a tingling feeling in his gut that bothered him ever since he left Louise's room. He wasn't sure what it was, but he guessed that it was because he was her familiar. Also, if he did leave, where would he go? Groaning, he leant back on the tree he was currently perched on and began to ponder on his current situation.

He knew that he was in a different world, one vastly different from the Five Great Shinobi Nations, and the only thing he really wanted right now was to just go home. His friends, the villagers, everyone, were waiting for him, and he left at the worst possible time. The village would need major repairs after Pain's attack, and all of it couldn't be done in just a day, even with his massive chakra reserves and the Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. It would take time, a lotof time, before Konoha could return to its former glory.

"Well well, look who it is! It's the one who summoned the commoner!"

Quirking an eyebrow, Naruto lazily looked down at the courtyard and saw a group of three male students suddenly encircle a small girl. He instantly recognized the pink hair and knew that it was Louise.

"What do you want?" she demanded as she looked at their leader in the eye.

The boy smirked as he eyed her petite body. "Hey, no need to get serious. We're just here to congratulate you for your summoning, even though it was a peasant. You know, everyone thinks that you didn't actually summon him, and that you hired a peasant so that people would think that you summoned a familiar. They all think that, since you're the Zero, you could never accomplish anything magical related." He took a step closer. "But unlike them, I know that you did it with your own abilities."

Louise didn't buy it. "Oh really?" The boy's smirk grew even wider as he took another step closer. He was now almost directly in front of her.

"What? Don't you believe me Louise?"

Suddenly, one of his lackeys jumped and grabbed Louise's wrists and pinned her down to the ground. Caught by surprise, Louise's eyes widened when she realized their intentions, and she then began to flail and thrash her arms and legs around in an attempt to break free from the boy's grip.

"Hey!" she cried. "Let me go!" Louise tried to punch the boy that was holding her, but his grip was just too tight.

The leader winced before he rubbed his aching ears. "She's so noisy..." he whined. He then pulled out his wand and pointed it at Louise, whose eyes were already beginning to brim with tears.

"A silence spell would do the trick."

Then, in the blink of an eye, blood spurted out of the nose of the boy that was holding Louise.

"What!"

Next, his other lackey was suddenly tossed into air before he was sent crashing down into the hard earth.

"Wh-what the- oof!"

A fist embedded itself firmly into his stomach and the boy quickly coughed out blood. Bending over, he clutched his gut in pain before a solid kick was sent to his face with a loud crack, signifying that his jaw had been broken. The power from the kick caused his body to bounce on the ground like a rag doll before he hit his back hard against the trunk of a tree.

"Woops, looks like I overdid it a bit, heh heh..." He grinned and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

Looking up at her savior with tear-filled eyes, Louise took note of the three whisker marks on his cheeks and instantly knew that it was her familiar. His blonde hair glistened in the morning sun while his blue eyes glinted with what appeared to be concern as he gazed down at her.

"Are you alright, Louise-san?" Naruto asked. He then held out his hand to help her up.

Shakily taking it, the blonde helped Louise get back to her feet and the pinkette quickly dusted off her clothes. Brushing off the hair in front of her face and wiping her eyes, Louise looked around and surveyed the damage Naruto had done to her attackers. The one who had jumped on her was lying on the ground, his nose bloodied and obviously broken, while a small pool of blood formed in front of his face. The one who had stood by the leader's side fared a bit better than his friend. He only had two large bruises on his face that were already starting to turn purple. The leader himself, however, had looked the worst. His jaw had been broken from Naruto's kick and his body was a mess. His arms, legs, and face were covered in bruises and thin lines of blood trickled from his mouth. Fortunately, they were all unconscious.

"Y-y-you... you idiot!" Louise yelled, kicking the blonde in the shin. Naruto then yelped in pain before he grabbed his leg and rubbed the spot that ached while he bounced around on only one leg.

"ITAI! What the fuck? Sheesh! Is this the thanks I get for saving your ass?"

"You are a total idiot! Do you know what you've done? They are nobles, people of an upper class! Someone of your standing wouldn't dare do what you've just done!"

"Again with this 'noble and peasant' shit! What's with it? Back in my world, it didn't matter if you were a noble or peasant. All that mattered was your ability to fight and never give up!"

"And are you in your world? No! You are here, in Tristain Magical Academy in the kingdom of Tristania! You are my familiar! Whatever you were back in your world, it doesn't matter here! I don't care if you were the son of the Yonwhatever or the future Hogake! You are my familiar and I am your master and you will listen to whatever I say!"

"It's 'Hokage' and 'Yondaime' you stupid midget! And you are not my master! I don't care if I'm your familiar, and now I don't care about you! GODDAMN IT! I should never have saved you from those guys!"

That struck a chord in Louise's mind. "Then why did you? Huh? Why did you save me? You could've just left me there!"

"It's because I..." Naruto paused, he wasn't really sure about that himself. He figured it was because he absolutely hated it when a defenseless person was harmed when he could've done something about it. He wanted to protect everyone. That, and he knew the intentions of those bastards. But something else stirred inside him as he watched from his hiding spot. He wasn't totally sure what it was, but he guessed that it was because he was her familiar.

"It's because I'm your familiar, and it is my duty to protect you," he said softly. "Even though I was forced to become your familiar, I have no choice but to watch over you. I can't just stand by and let them do whatever they want with you. That's against all that I stand for. And when I say that I will protect you, I mean it from the very bottom of my heart. And I'm the type of person who never goes back on his word, because that's my nindo, my ninja way!"

Louise stared at Naruto, both guilt and awe in her eyes, though they were barely noticeable. She hated to admit it, but she had misjudged the blonde. He was the type that, when it came down to it, he would lay his life on the line just for the sake of his friends, something that she admired. His bright and cheerful personality was easy to get along with, but it was also very annoying. She looked into those cerulean blue eyes, the same way she did during their stare off the day before. She immediately felt envious, they were some of the most beautiful she had ever seen. And they held a kindness that reflected well on the blonde, similar to her older sister. Louise felt her cheeks grow hot. Where were these thoughts coming from?

Shaking her head, Louise crossed her arms before she quickly turned away, trying to conceal the blush on her face. "We're going," she said.

"Huh?" Naruto was confused. "Where?"

Louise turned, the blush already gone. "To breakfast, of course."

And as if on cue, Naruto's stomach growled.

Naruto was in awe. Never had he seen something like this before. Glancing around, the first thing that came to his mind was that there had to be a special occasion today, because there was no reason to have breakfast in this style.

Three extremely long rows of tables were placed in the middle of a large hall as the two walked towards their seats. All eyes were upon them as whispers began between the students. With his enhanced hearing courtesy of his shinobi training, Naruto was able to pick up bits of their conversations and frowned when he realized that it was about them, or more specifically Louise. No one believed that she had actually summoned him, and that he was just a nearby peasant that she had hired to pose as her familiar. He clenched his fist. This was becoming eerily familiar to his academy days, where he was the dead-last and only a handful of people had faith in his abilities. Only through sheer hard work did he improve, and Naruto made a mental note to help Louise get better.

The two finally stopped when they got to an empty seat and Naruto's mouth began to water at the prospect of eating soon.

"Wow... what a feast..." he said.

"Pull the seat back already, idiot," Louise growled, getting frustrated. Naruto complied and she sat down. Taking the seat next to her, which gained the attention of everyone around him, Naruto was oblivious as three strange objects had caught his interest. The blonde picked up the items, which were a fork, spoon, and knife, and examined them. He already knew what the knife was, but the other two were a complete mystery to him. Were they some type of chopsticks? Holding the fork and spoon in a chopstick style fashion, Naruto tried to pick up his breakfast but the food just kept slipping off the utensils, much to his annoyance.

Meanwhile, Louise and pretty much everyone else couldn't believe what they were seeing. A peasant eating with nobles? That was unheard of! And this guy had the audacity to sit down with them? Just who the hell does he think he is!

"I haven't had anything to eat since before Pain's attack, so... huh?" Naruto noticed that Louise was looking at him angrily. "What?" she pointed down to an old, worn-out plate on the floor.

"Only I can sit here," she stated bluntly. "You in the other hand, sit there." Louise chose her words carefully for she didn't want her familiar to start embarrassing her in public, especially since people already think so poorly of her. She knew that no one believed that she had summoned Naruto, and it annoyed her to no end. Seriously, who would hire a peasant to pose as a familiar? No one could possibly be that bad, right?

"Our great primogenitor Burimill and Her Highness, we thank you for this small breakfast."

"I'm the one with the small breakfast..."Naruto grumbled as he stared at the small loaf of bread on the plate. A single anime tear fell from the corner of his eye. "Where's Ichiraku ramen when you need it!" Suddenly, he remembered something. "Wait... I do have Ichiraku ramen with me! Thank kami that I still have my emergency ramen stash!"

Pulling out a scroll, Naruto unfolded it and set it down on the ground before he brought his hands up and performed a hand seal. Channeling chakra into it, a small puff of smoke then burst from the parchment. As it dispersed, a steaming hot bowl of miso ramen was revealed.

"Jackpot!" cried Naruto as a grin formed on his face. Luckily, he remembered to seal chopsticks with every bowl of ramen that he had just in case he didn't have any on him. Separating the chopsticks, Naruto twirled them around his fingers before he heartily shoveled a hefty portion of ramen into his mouth.

Unbeknownst to the blonde, the people around him had watched what he had done with disbelieving eyes. 'No way...' was the thought that echoed through their heads. 'Was that... magic?' Only nobles had the ability to perform magic, and a familiar with magical abilities was something that never happened before, ever. They then looked at the bowl in his hands. 'And what is he eating?'

Louise stared at her familiar in shock. The whole time Naruto was with her, she didn't actually know what he was capable of, other than the fact that he could fight and was very fast. The one thing though that she never expected from the blonde, was that he knew how to use magic. So that explains the suicidal doppelganger that Guiche had levitated the day before...

As Naruto continued to slurp more ramen, he didn't notice the looks the students were giving him as they watched him eat. Some of them were disgusted as the blonde was literally inhaling his food in mere seconds, while others were still processing the fact that he had used magic, even though it was actually a low level fūinjutsu from his world. But no one knew that.

Eventually, the students lost interest in him and continued eating their breakfast.

"Familiar spirits are usually left outside during meals. I especially let you stay with me."

"Whatever. I'm just happy that I was able to eat some ramen."

When they had finished, Naruto and Louise left the hall and went into the large courtyard that surrounded the central tower of the Academy. Rounding a corner, Naruto saw a bunch of students sitting at tables eating and interacting with various animals.

"What's everyone doing? Aren't they supposed to be in class or something?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

"Oh, there's no class for the second years today. We're supposed to be building relationships with our new familiar spirits," Louise explained as she looked for an empty table. She was really curious about Naruto, and wanted to know more about him.

"Ugh... that sounds so boring..." Naruto complained.

"Oh?"

Turning around, Naruto jumped in surprise when he saw a rather strange creature. It looked like a large lizard that was slightly bigger than a dog with yellow, slitted eyes and strong quadruped limbs. The exterior colour of its hide was crimson while the soft underbelly of its body was pink. Three protrusions stuck out from either side of its triangular shaped head, with the tip of its tail being on fire. Its black claws dug into the soil and judging by the minute scratches it left in the ground when it walked; were very sharp. Its build showed that it had some level of speed but it was built more for power and digging in extremely tough terrain.

"Eh? A salamander? That's something you don't see everyday..." Naruto remarked as he leant in to take a closer look at it. Immediately, the large lizard snapped its mouth at him, causing the blonde to pull his head back.

"Kuso! What did I do to you? You overgrown lizard!" Naruto growled, glaring at the salamander. He looked at its master, who was stroking its hide, and the first thing he noticed was her large chest. Although not as big as Tsunade's, her shirt did reveal ample cleavage. He blushed.

"He's kind of dangerous isn't he?"

"He's fine," the girl assured him. "A familiar spirit with a contract is obedient to its master. He wouldn't run away. Right, Flame?"

The salamander wagged its tail approvingly as she stroked him more.

"Mind your own business, Kirche!" Louise shot. Kirche stood up.

"You know Louise," she began with a small smirk on her face. "Not everyone believes that you summoned your familiar, and that you just hired a peasant nearby. You concealed it well with the explosion."

"No! I did the summoning properly!" Louise pointed at Naruto. "And he appeared."

"Well, it's the perfect match for The Zero Louise," Kirche said before she walked away, laughing.

"Peasant, peasant, peasant, is everyone here retarded or something? Maybe I should wear a name tag saying 'Hi, I'm Naruto, I'm not a peasant' because everyone here thinks I'm a damn peasant!" Naruto ranted.

Louise ignored her familiar and glared at the direction Kirche walked to. "Rrrhh," she growled. "What's wrong with that woman?" She shook her fist before she rounded on Naruto.

"Don't just stand around! Bring me tea or something!" Louise demanded as she stomped off to the nearest table. Naruto was about to retort but he knew that for his own safety he should do what she asked. 'Damn, she's even worse than Sakura-chan...'he thought before he realized that he had no idea of where to get tea. Grumbling profanities, he began to walk off.

Naruto was so lost in thought while he walked that he failed to notice a giant floating eye that got right up to his face. Startled, he jumped back and felt himself knock someone over.

"I'm sorry!" Naruto quickly apologized. He turned around to see a woman in a maid outfit. Instantly, he recognized her as the girl from last night who had summoned a familiar spirit. She had black hair and blue eyes though what drew most of his attention was her rather large, ahem... assets. Naruto blushed.

'Man, I'm becoming more and more like Ero-Sennin, damn that old pervert!'Naruto thought as he brought his eyes up to her face. "Eheheh... sorry about that..." He grinned sheepishly.

"Oh no, it's fine," she assured as she picked up the cake that had fallen onto the grass. She then noticed the runes around Naruto's wrist and asked, "Excuse me, would you be the familiar spirit of Miss Valliere?"

"You know about me?" Naruto asked excitedly.

The girl nodded. "It's already well-known that a commoner was summoned as a familiar spirit," she said with a smile. 'And It's a good thing that nobody knows that I was also able to summon a familiar. I wonder if he's already awake...'

"I'm not a commoner damn it. Before that midget summoned me I was supposed to take over Baa-chan as the leader of my village in a few years! And speaking of which, where's your familiar?" The girl's eyes widened. "I watched you summon him last night from the top of one of the Academy's walls. And judging from his clothes, I bet that he doesn't come from this world. It's nice to know that he's also not from here, at least now I'm not the only one who's clueless about this place."

'H-he... watched me?' "Umm... he's still asleep. Please, don't tell anyone about last night. I was actually not allowed to do that," she told him in a quiet voice.

"Oh, well okay, I'll keep it to myself then. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me," Naruto assured her with a foxy grin. The girl sighed in relief.

"Thank you." She bowed her head. "My name is Siesta."

"I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. So, why aren't you allowed to summon? According to the midget, aren't all second year mages supposed to summon a familiar?" he asked.

Siesta shook her head. "Second year mages are supposed to, but I'm not an aristocrat." She noticed Naruto's confused look. "People who can use magic are aristocrats, and everyone else is a commoner."

"Ah, so that's how it is," Naruto mused. "No wonder everyone's calling me a commoner. Are you a mage, Siesta?"

"Absolutely not. I am a maid here on campus. I'm a commoner, just like you."

"Huh? Then how are you able to perform magic?"

"I... I don't know. When I first tried it, I expected it not to work, that I was doing something foolish, but then..." She shook her head. "I really don't know Naruto. I have no idea how it worked. It just happened. I guess there are some things that we just don't ask."

"Hey, is my cake here yet?"

Turning towards the source, the two noticed a blonde-haired boy with a large, brown mole-looking creature on his lap calling out to them. Naruto instantly recognized him as Guiche, the guy who lifted his clone up in the air. He was with a girl who

"Uh, yes, right away," Siesta called back. She was about to walk towards Guiche, but Naruto stopped her.

"I'll do it," he said, again giving her his trademark foxy grin. Siesta blushed as he took the plate from her hands.

"But that's..."

"Don't worry," Naruto assured her with a wink. 'This is revenge for what that guy did to my clone. Also, my inner prankster is commanding me to do this.'

"I talked with Verdant for the whole of last night."

Montmorency sweat dropped. "Really? The entire night..." She knew he was exaggerating.

"Yes, these intelligent eyes, this amazing fur... it really is the familiar spirit reserved for me."

Montmorency sighed. "Well treat the person placed on the table. "Ahh, that looks delicious. Bring me seconds on tea too." His gaze then switched to Montmorency, who was stroking her familiar. "Your familiar spirit really represents you in how cute it is."

"Hah, thank you. You flatter me like always."

"I never lie to your eyes, Montmorency," Guiche said as he waved his rose eccentrically.

"Oh really?" Montmorency narrowed her eyes. "But recently, I heard a rumor that you're starting to date a first year. Is this true? Hmm? Guiche?"

"Nonsense. There's never a-"

"'Hidden side in my affection for you.' Was that what you were about to say? Oh, and nice frog you got there."

The two turned their heads to look at the person who had given Guiche his cake. Immediately, Guiche recognized him as the blonde from yesterday.

"H-hey! You disappeared after you stabbed yourself in the gut while I was levitating you to Louise's room!" Naruto laughed.

"Yeah, and your reactions were priceless..." he said, wiping a tear from his eye.

"Louise's room? What were you doing there?" Montmorency asked as she glared at Guiche.

"N-nothing! I was just helping her retrieve her runaway familiar!" Guiche replied as he pointed at Naruto.

"Really now? Then who was that girl you were with last night in the hallway? What was her name again? Katie wasn't it?" Naruto smiled evilly as he pounded his fist into his palm. "Oh now I get it. The cloak's color is different by the class year. Black is second year. And the brown I saw that girl in last night, is first year. I see, I see."

"What is he talking about?" Montmorency asked.

Guiche quickly got up from his seat. This guy was about to reveal his secret. "Get back to work, pageboy!"

Naruto turned to Guiche, his smile still present on his face. "No thanks. And I'm not a pageboy either. Later." he finished as he walked away.

"Hey Guiche, what's this about?" Montmorency demanded.

"Err... um... remember what I told you?" Guiche began. "There was a little something with that peasant familiar spirit, that's all..." It was at that moment when he saw who was approaching them, his eyes widened. He smiled uneasily at the blonde.

"Montmorency, since it's so noisy here, let's go talk over there," Guiche said as he grabbed her wrist and began to drag her away.

"Wait, Guiche, what's wrong with you? You're starting to act weird..." Montmorency noted as the blonde was walking relatively quickly, as if he was trying to get away from something. In addition, his grip on her wrist was rather tight, and it was beginning to annoy her.

"It's nothing! Really! It's just so noisy here that I can barely hear you."

"Umm, Guiche, if you haven't notice, the people who were sitting closest to us were a good distance away."

Guiche sweat dropped. "Uhh... um... err... well it's because-"

"Sir Guiche!"

Oh shit.

"K-Katie!" He quickly let go of Montmorency's wrist. "H-hi!"

"I've been looking for you, Sir Guiche," Katie said. Montmorency frowned.

"I thought I'd bring the soufflé that I was talking about last night for tea-time." She held up the basket she was carrying.

Guiche smiled nervously. "Ah... well that's..."

"Last night?" Montmorency interjected.

Guiche waved his hands defensively in front of him. "Wait Montmorency! It's not what you think! You see-"

"Lucky you."

They all turned to see a smirking Naruto. "You said, 'I'd love to have a taste of that' last night, didn't you?" His smile grew even wider.

"Y-you!"

"What's wrong Guiche-kun? You did say it."

"Guiche, what's the meaning of this?" Montmorency demanded. Guiche then began to sweat apprehensively. He pointed a finger at Naruto.

"You! Louise's familiar! What have you been talking about all this time!" Guiche demanded as he dramatically waved his arm and looked away from the blonde. "You're making these ladies get the wrong idea!"

At that moment, a small crowd started to form around them, curious of what was going on.

"Huh? What's going on here?" a student asked. He had neatly combed blonde hair and was a bit overweight.

"Guiche's picking a fight with the Zero's familiar spirit," another student explained.

"Ah, the commoner?"

"Hey! I heard that!" Naruto exclaimed as he turned to glare at the chubby blonde. He then smirked at Guiche.

"Wrong idea about what? It's your fault for two-timing."

"Two-timing!" both girls cried.

"So you did lay your fingers on this first year!" Montmorency accused, glaring daggers at Guiche. She brought her fists up and growled in anger.

Naruto slowly sat down as he watched and chuckled at Guiche's pathetic attempt to explain himself to the girls. His chuckles, along with the crowd's, turned into outright laughter when they both slapped him in the face and stormed off.

"You got dumped, Guiche! Well, you deserve it!"

Guiche looked around at the people laughing at him, his cheeks aching from the slaps the girls gave him. He stopped when he came to Naruto's grinning face, who was wiping off the tears in his eyes. His wide smile, along the whisker marks, made him look like a fox after it had done something sneaky and mischievous. This further infuriated him as he stood up and dusted himself off.

"Looks like you don't know the manners you should show towards aristocrats..." Guiche began. Naruto scoffed.

"Please, back in my world, I had a similar problem. Do you think that since I came here, anything's changed?"

"Then I hereby challenge you to a duel!" Guiche challenged as he pointed his rose at Naruto.

"A duel?"

"Exactly. I declare a duel," Guiche continued. "You're a commoner, and only a familiar spirit. Yet you insulted me, and above all, you made two ladies cry!"

"Cry? They were mad. And it's your fault for two-timing. You should have known that someone would have eventually caught you," Naruto replied, causing the crowd to laugh.

Guiche gritted his teeth. "You'd better be ready for this! I'll wait for you at Vestry field." He then walked away.

"What do you think you're doing!"

Naruto immediately jumped in surprise and turned to see an angry Louise, her face contorted into a frown. Grabbing his arm, she then began to drag him away from the crowd and towards Guiche.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"Don't 'what' me," Louise said sternly. "What do you think you're doing accepting a duel? Never mind, you're going to apologize to Guiche. He might still be able to forgive you."

"Hey hey! What's the big deal? I'd rather eat dirt than apologize to that bastard. And I'm going to win anyway, so why are you worried? Or is it because you like me?" Naruto grinned teasingly.

Louise blushed. "O-of course not! And you don't understand anything! Commoners can't win against aristocrats. You'll be lucky if you get away with only injuries." Naruto rolled his eyes and shook off her hand before he turned to look at the chubby blonde.

"Hey, where's this Vestry field?" The blonde pointed towards the direction of the field.

"It's over that way."

"Malicorne!" Louise said.

"Thanks man," Naruto thanked before he ran off.

"Hey!" Louise cried. Malicorne followed the whiskered blonde.

"This, I have to see."

Louise frowned. "God, he's a familiar spirit, and yet he does whatever he wants!"

"So... are we going to begin or what?" Naruto asked as he rested his hands behind his head. He was getting increasingly bored.

Guiche crossed his arms and smirked. "I must compliment you for not running away. Not many commoners would dare challenge a noble. You must either be foolish or very brave."

Naruto scoffed. "I've been called that many times back in my home world, and I've fought people who were way stronger than you. It wasn't until I beat the shit out them that they stopped underestimating me. And besides, who'd run away from you?"

"Wait!" It was Louise. "Guiche, cut it out already. Duels are prohibited."

"Duels are prohibited if it's between aristocrats," Guiche said. He gestured to Naruto. "He's a commoner. So there's no problem."

"But... that's only because we never had anything like this before..." Louise reasoned.

"Ahh Louise, please don't tell me that you're feminine heart has developed a crush on this guy?" Louise blushed.

"What! What are you talking about? Who would?" she cried. "Don't be ridiculous! I just can't bear to watch my familiar spirit get beaten up!"

"Beaten up? Oh Louise... how it pains my heart that you have no confidence in me..." Naruto said teasingly, fake hurt laced in his voice.

"Shut up!" Louise shot.

"Hmph, whatever you may say, the duel has already started!" Guiche then threw a rose petal to the ground.

Suddenly, a column of light erupted from the spot where the petal landed, and a figure subsequently appeared.

"My name is The Bronze Guiche. Therefore a bronze golem Valkyrie will be your-"

PANG!

"Goddamn it!"

Before Guiche even finished what he was saying, Naruto had charged and punched the bronze Valkyrie in the head. Instantly, the force of Naruto's punch caused its head to lop off its shoulders, but made Naruto cry out in pain as the shock of the blow shot up his arm.

"Damn, wasn't expecting that! It felt like I was punching a brick wall!" Naruto winced as he shook his aching hand. Meanwhile, everyone watching was in complete and utter shock.

'No way... a commoner can never win against a mage...'Louise thought as she stared at the whiskered blonde, her mouth hanging agape.

"W-what!" Guiche exclaimed. He was stunned.

"Man... that hurt," Naruto remarked. "But is that the best you've got?"

Guiche growled. "Shut up! You were just lucky. It's only because I would feel bad if I broke Louise's property. So I'll forgive you, if you apologize now."

"You must be the biggest idiot in the world if you think I will apologize to you. That puppet of yours is weak."

Guiche gritted his teeth. "I see. Then what about these!" He swung his rose and six more petals fell to the ground. And just like before, columns of light erupted where the petals landed and six bronze Valkyries emerged.

The Valkyries dashed towards Naruto, who remained unmoving. Opting something he hadn't used in a while, he smirked as they inched closer to him. Quickly performing a cross hand seal, six clones then appeared at his side, shocking the crowd and Guiche even more. Knowing what they had to do, the clones charged forward as they made a hand seal and cried...

"Oiroke no Jutsu!"

In clouds of smoke, the clones transformed into six beautiful, nude women who were in very seductive poses with mist covering their chests and groins. Combined with the previous shock, everyone's eyes immediately widened as the clones were the picture perfect image of the perfect woman with their curves being in the right places, causing some of the girls to stare in envy. Their blonde hair was tied up in a double ponytail and three whisker marks were on each of their cheeks. One of them winked at Guiche and blew him a kiss.

"Guiche-kun... you're not going to hurt us are you?" the clones asked with a cute look. The Valkyries stopped.

Most of the boys watching fainted due to lack of blood from their nosebleeds while the girls stared open mouthed at the blondes. Meanwhile, the original Naruto was laughing hysterically from their expressions.

"Erg... uh... umm..." Guiche was blushing furiously.

"Guiche-sama!" the clones cried as they ran to Guiche, the clouds of mist still covering their important bits. Guiche did nothing as he stared, mouth agape, as the naked clones wrapped their arms around him. Their bodies were pressed tightly against his and some gave him kisses on the cheek while the others stroked his hair and chin.

"Ahhhhh..." Guiche moaned before he fainted from blood loss.

And that was the end of the duel.

AN: Sorry for the late update, but school started again and I was piled with a lot of school work. Seriously, who gives tests and essays in the start of term! Not my ideal beginning...

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! Scroll down if you want to continue!

Anyway, I read the latest chapter of the Naruto manga (Naruto chapter 559) and right now I'm utterly confused. A little bit of me knew that Tobi wasn't Madara, but until recently, I didn't fully believe it. Now, since Madara was brought back with Impure World Resurrection and is Kabuto's trump card, who the hell is Tobi! Damn you Kishimoto for pulling something like this! Though I have to admit, I haven't had this kind of plot twist ever since Kamina's death in Gurren Lagann (R.I.P Kamina-sama T.T).
