Chapter 2 – Magical Display

It was a peaceful morning in Konoha, only to be broken by an ear-piercing scream:

"NARUTO! GET BACK HERE!"

Said person was currently running from a squad of Chuunin and Jounin while laughing his half-painted ass off.

"Hahaha, Catch me if you can, you wannabes! You're just jealous 'cause you don't got the guts to do what I do!"

Behind him, you could see that the Hokage Monument was vandalized. Each of the four faces was painted over in grotesque, yet exotic ways. The last face was painted like a geisha.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, a certain black haired teen is waking up from the sunlight on his face. After looking around a few moments to see if yesterday was a dream, he realizes that it actually happened and he was in another world. As he comes to this realization, one thought in particular passes through his head as he barely suppressed a smirk: 'heh, no more fiancée mess.'

After he got out of the hospital bed and stretched, he exited the room and headed to the reception desk. He remembered that the Hokage needed to talk to him today. Once he got there, he asked the receptionist his question.

"Do you know where I need to go if I want to talk to the Hokage?"

"Yes, I do. Just look for the largest tower in the village. That's the Hokage Tower."

"Thank you."

As he walked out of the door, he was met with the bright sun shining directly into his face. He squinted his eyes to make out the tower in the distance. Now that he knew where to go, he started walking at a calm pace, making sure to take in the sights around Konoha. After about five minutes of walking, he was met with the sight of a kid in neon orange clothing running away from a large group of shinobi, at least that's what he thought they were, laughing like he just won the lottery. Noticing the Hokage Monument from the corner of his eye, he was surprised by the vandalism that was currently covering it.

'O…kay, that is weird.' He thought as a massive sweat drop rolled down his head.

"You aren't from around here aren't you?" asked a female sounding voice from behind him.

Turning around, he notices a young girl, about 13-14 years old, wearing what Ranma assumes to be Chinese or Mandarin style clothing with her brown hair tied up in twin buns. She also carried the weapons of a shinobi.

"No, I just got here yesterday. Why?" Ranma asked the girl.

"That happens about every other day. By the way, my name is Tenten. You?" the now named Tenten inquired.

"The name's Ranma, Ranma Saotome. And what do you mean that this happens every other day?"

"Oh, it's just that that particular kid is known to some of the genins as the prankster king. Seriously, he does things that no other person in Konoha could even think possible." Tenten said getting a faraway look in her eyes. "I still remember the time he dyed all of the jounins' flak jackets neon orange. How he did that without them noticing, I don't think anyone will ever know."

"Wow. I can't really think of anything to say about that." Ranma concluded. Shaking himself out of his shock, he stated, "Well, it was nice to meet you, Tenten. However, I have a meeting with the Hokage to get to."

"Okay. It was nice to meet you too. Bye." Tenten finished the conversation and walked off.

Continuing his walk, he made sure to take a good look around the village. The two things that stood out most were the Hokage's Tower and the Hokage Monument, which was currently painted over. He was also able to see several people carrying shinobi gear walking around. This confused him at first, but then he sensed the people just outside of visibility. Shrugging in indifference, he walked into the Hokage's Tower.

"Is the Hokage busy right now?", he asked the secretary.

"No, you can go see him." She answered without looking up from her work.

"Thank you."

"Ah, come in, come in, Ranma. How are you today?" the aged Hokage asked with a comforting smile on his face.

"Quite well considering that I nearly got my ass kicked by a phoenix yesterday. By the way, what's with the guys hidin' in the corners of the room?" replied the dark-haired preteen, his face shifting from a cocky grin to an inquisitive look.

"You know that they're there?"

"Yeah. Why, am I not supposed to?"

"Depends, how good are you at sensing chakra?"

"Chakra? What's that?"

At this point, the third person who was visible in the room made his presence known, through an exclamation of his shock. "What? You have never heard of chakra?"

Ranma, who took a quick look at the mysterious third person during his outburst, turned his head back to the Hokage and asked, "Um, who is this?"

"That's Iruka Umino, he's the teacher at the Shinobi Academy." Hiruzen clarified.

Ranma just stood there for a few moments, his face looking completely blank. After he shook himself out of this state, he muttered under his breath "Damn it Rai, you understated it when you said I ended up in a different world." This continued for just a moment with a few choice curses. "Anyways, my name's Ranma Saotome. Now, what's chakra."

After looking at the Hokage questioningly and getting a slight nod, Iruka explains "Chakra is the combination of Mental and Physical energies, and is able to be molded into techniques ranging from illusions to being able to change the very landscape."

"Hmm, by Mental and Physical energies, do you mean Mana and Ki?" Ranma questioned with an interested look on his face.

"Mana and Ki?" the two older shinobi replied at the same time. Even the hidden ANBU couldn't resist raising their eyebrows.

"Mana is, where I'm from, energy formed by the mind and soul through knowledge and experience, whereas Ki is generated by the physical body, and grows as the body does." After a slight pause to think, he continues, "Ki manipulation I have down to a tee, but I'm still experimenting with Mana. Never thought to combine them though."

"If you have never used chakra, how did you sense them?" the aging Hokage asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Simple, even if they can hide their chakra as you call it, they have no experience hiding their ki. For example…" trailing off there, he suppresses his ki to the point that it is unable to be sensed. Everyone else in the room, visible or not, had their eyes the size of saucers. 'It's like he's not even there!' they thought in unison. He then released the iron-clad hold he had on his ki.

"Do you think you can give an example of this 'Mana' as you call it?" Iruka questioned hesitantly, as if he didn't want to know the answer, but craved it at the same time.

"Yeah. Um, do you think we could go outside for this? The examples I have are a little destructive."

"Sure, let's just go to one of the training grounds around the village. I think training ground 15 is open." Hiruzen finished with an thoughtful gleam in his eyes. 'Maybe he might be the one to help young Naruto reach his potential.'

After a thirty minute walk to one of the more discreet training grounds, Ranma announces "You may want to stand back a bit. I'm planning on giving you two examples, a low level attack, and one of my higher attacks." Once the two experienced shinobi back away, he turns around getting a small silver ring out of his pocket. Placing it on his right index finger, he chants with a voice soaked in power "Equitare de emissaries. Viginti duo spiritus fulgoris, coeuntes inimicum concordant, Sagita Magica, Series Fulgoris!"

As soon as he finished his chant, 22 orbs of pure lightning swirled around him and shot forward, tearing the earth on their way to the stone chosen as a target. On contact, the stone was effectively torn to shreds. Ranma turns to look at the two shinobi only to see their eyes as large as 100-yen coins. Chuckling, he states "You two might want to go to the edge of the training ground for this next one. It's going to be very big." Nodding, the other two walk to the edge of the training ground.

Jumping high into the air, the de-aged martial artist calls out at the top of his lungs "Equitare de emissaries. Τὸ συμβόλαιον διακονῆτω μοί, ἡ κρυστάλλινη βασίλεια! Ἐπιγενηθήτω, ταἰώνιον ἔρεβος, αἱώνιε κρύσταλλε! Πάσαις ζωαῖς τὸν ἴσον θάνατον, ὃς ἀταραξία! Κοσμικὴ Καταστροφή!"1 As he began the chant, a huge pressure slammed down on the training ground, cracking the earth. A frosty mist started to swirl around him as his voice gained more and more force. When the chant was finished, he swung his hand down, unleashing a torrent of frozen wind toward the ground, forming colossal spires of crystal ice nearly a hundred feet tall. Landing a few feet away from the older two, he speaks solemnly "Σπάστε"2. Behind him, the monument of crystalline ice shattered into snow dust.

"See why I needed you two to go to the edge of the ground? If my concentration lapsed one bit, I could very well have frozen the entire training ground."

The other two, with their jaws currently on the ground, just nodded dumbly at what they just witnessed.

"But that's not the limit on magic. Those are just the offensive spells. I'm still experimenting with it, so it will take a while to find the limits of magic."

"Ranma, there is something I want to talk to you about. Do you think we can adjourn to my office?" The wise Hokage requested.

"Sure."

"And Iruka, don't you have a class to get to?"

"SHOOT! I GOTTA GO!" Iruka screams as he runs out of the training ground like the hounds of hell are on his heels. Chuckling, the remaining two head back to the tower talking about how the village is run.

A few minutes later, they were finishing up their discussion at the Hokage's office.

"So, you want me to train this Naruto kid, huh? Why?" Ranma inquired with a raised eyebrow, recognizing the tone of manipulation.

"The reason is that most of the Village Council hates Naruto because of the demon sealed inside of him. Many have even tried to assassinate him. If you train him, I can get one over on the council." Hiruzen answered with a grin and an evil gleam in his eyes.

"Ah, sure, why not. It might be fun too. Can you tell him to meet me on top of the monument during the week off after graduation?"

"Sure."

After getting an apartment, he heads out to get some training before heading to bed.
