A/N: I'm sorry about the long wait, but I was working on trying to improve my fight scenes (didn't work out...) and I was also trying to see if the Fate clones would show up more, but they didn't so I decided to continue.
Okay, about Naruko having a crush on Kiba...Get over it! Geez it was mentioned only for a brief second and will probably be the only time it will ever be mentioned! Not to mention the fact that Naruko isn't Naruto, but rather a complete female counterpart of him! And, I see a lot worse done with Naruko all over the place! Sheesh it's not a big deal!
Also, did I miss the part where it was said that the Avveruncus' were awakened thanks to the Code of the Lifemaker? Or even that Fate and Dynamis didn't have it yet? Please PM where it was stated because I think I totally missed it.
And, their barriers is why they survived Naruto's jutsus (which of course he has army destroyer jutsus because in my story he had to fight the army of Zetsus, zombies, Madara, Kabuto, Sasuke and Bijuu...What did you expect?).
DISCLAIMER: SEE CHAPTER ONE!
It's All an Act
"We did it! We got out!" Asuna cheered with everyone as they skidded to a stop.
"We need to make sure they won't follow us," Naruko pointed out. "I used up all of my energy fighting that Doom guy and I am sure he'll be getting up soon."
"Leave them to me!" Chibi Setsuna said forming hand signs similar to Naruto's, but extremely different in ability as she had to chant a spell at the same time. "I'll close the barrier again and seal them inside by inverting the time-space spell!"
As soon as Chibi Setsuna felt the barrier re-seal itself she let out a sigh of relief. "That should buy us some time…"
"Alright! First, we should go find a safe place to take a break!" Chamo said and the group began to walk away with Naruko using Asuna for support.
"Thanks for the help, Asuna-chan," Naruko said breathlessly. "My Yin Kyuubi Sage Mode is really strong, but it eats stamina and chakra like you wouldn't believe!"
"No problem Naruko-chan," Asuna assured as she grabbed the girl around the waist and made sure her arm rested on her shoulders comfortably. "What are friends for?"
"Damn, I…can't move…" Kotaro muttered painfully as he stared forlornly at the gates. 'That punch and thunder...did a lot of damage. I would have lost if I had tried to fight like this.'
"I shouldn't have transformed," Kotaro said before he grinned to himself. 'Negi...You're not bad for a western mage...' "Damn you, Negi...I'll remember this...I won't lose next time!"
'I'm going to get that blonde when I can move,' Doom thought as his body continued to smoke and convulse from the powerful Kirin attack. 'She actually tried to kill me with that attack!'
"I'll get you next time Namikaze Naruko!" Doom whispered dangerously. "And, next time I won't underestimate you!"
"Um...Uh...Err...I...I guess you found out...I'm sorry for trying to deceive you...But it was a secret..." Negi said to Nodoka nervously as he, Naruko, Asuna and Nodoka drank tea on top of a nice flat rock by a river.
"Ah...No...I had a vague idea anyway..." Nodoka admitted with a smile.
"EH? R...Really?" Negi stuttered out in surprise.
"B...But to think Negi-sensei is a mage..." Nodoka mused aloud with a blush. "I thought that such people existed only in stories from the books in the library. It's...a little exciting!"
"Hah?" was all Negi could say as he stared at the shy girl stunned.
"That's a positive reaction," Chamo noted in satisfaction.
"Girls who reads books are different, aren't they?" Asuna asked staring at Nodoka in awe.
"These girls sure can adapt," Naruko muttered to herself as she noticed how well Kazumi and Nodoka handled being introduced to a mage.
"B...But, Negi didn't you say you didn't want Honya-chan involved?" Asuna whispered to Negi.
"Too late," Naruko muttered to herself as she laid down.
"Y...Yes but if she already knows this much..." Negi whispered back.
"But she could be useful!" Chamo pointed out to the uncomfortable Nodoka as he held up her Diarium Ejus. "She has an unusually powerful item! It would be good to let a strong partner like her join us!"
"Hey, pervert ermine! Stop trying to steer the conversation!" Asuna scolded angrily before she noticed the blood coming from Negi's forehead and she pulled out her cloth to continue cleaning off. "Sheesh...Ah, Negi! Look! You haven't stopped bleeding! Are you sure it doesn't hurt? Are you going to be okay?"
"Eh...No...It's just a graze, really!" Negi tried to assure her.
"You can still get an infection," Naruko pointed out seriously. "Trust me on this...Naruto used to date a medic after all..."
"Ah, s...sensei...I carry some disinfected band aids with me..." Nodoka added helpfully before muttering embarrassed, "I fall over a lot, so..."
S...Sorry about this, Nodoka-san..." Negi apologized with a blush as Nodoka cleaned his wound.
"This will sting a bit," Nodoka warned not even paying attention to her crush's apologies.
"You're making a 'I'm feeling complex emotions because my beloved little brother has been taken away by a girl' face, Ane-sa—"
"What are you talking about, you perverted ermine?" Asuna interrupted Chamo angrily as she pulled his cheek and Naruko just shook her head...That ermine just didn't learn!
"Now that we escaped from the trap, we should be arriving at the Kansai Magic Association's headquarters soon," Chibi Setsuna pointed out. "We have to hurry and deliver that letter, Negi-sensei!"
"Y...You're right, Chibi Setsuna-san!" Negi agreed.
"You can't just leave Miyazaki-san here, so you'll have to take her to the headquarters—AH?" Chibi Setsuna cried out as her body started to fade away.
"W...What's wrong?" Asuna asked fearfully.
"O...Oh no! Something's happening to my physical body...I'm getting disconnected..." Chibi Setsuna said before she returned to a paper form in the shape of a human.
"Ah! She turned back into paper!" Asuna exclaimed in shock.
"T...This isn't good...Something must have happened on Setsuna-nee-san's side...She can't concentrate enough to control Chibi Setsuna..." Chamo muttered.
"Something must be going on with Naruto too if it's enough to cause the disruption..." Naruko pointed out tiredly.
"EHHHHH?" Asuna, Nodoka and Negi exclaimed at the same time in fear.
Back with Setsuna, Naruto, Konoka, Haruna and Yue the group was running fast. Setsuna was holding Konoka's hand as she ran down the street with Haruna and Yue tiredly following from behind while Naruto ran along the rooftops expertly.
"S...Se-chan...Where are we going? You run so fast!" Konoka said breathlessly.
"Ah! I...I'm sorry, Konoka-ojou-sama!" Setsuna apologized quickly.
"W...Why are we running a marathon all of the sudden?" Yue asked gasping deeply for air. "And, how is Naruto-sensei running on the roofs like that?"
"J...Just a minute...Sakurazaki-san..." Haruna cried out with a pant. "What's going on? Did you borrow money from a loan shark? Are you being chased by an old boyfriend?"
Setsuna didn't bother to answer, but rather swung Setsuna behind her as she sensed an attack. However, Naruto sensing it to spit a bunch of the needles he had sealed in his tongue to knock them away. Unfortunately, one managed to get past Naruto, but Setsuna caught it in time.
'Attacking in broad daylight in the street...' Setsuna thought holding the needle and looking at the needles imbedded in the wall next to them. 'I've always protected Ojou-sama without direct contact at the academy, but...'
"Huh? Isn't this Cinema Town?" Yue asked in surprise as she noticed where they were.
"Did you want to go to Cinema Town, Sakurazaki-san? You could have told us!" Haruna scolded delightfully.
'Cinema Town...Alright now I can...' Setsuna thought quickly thinking up a plan. 'I can't get these two classmates involved...I'm sure Naruto-kun can protect them...'
"Ayase-san! Saotome-san! I'm sorry, but I...I want to be a...alone with Konoka-...san! Let's split up here!" Setsuna quickly informed her two classmates.
"EEEEH?" Haruna and Yue exclaimed together, but Setsuna ignored them as she picked up Konoka bridal style.
"Sorry about this Konoka-ojou-sama!"
"Eh?" Konoka squeaked out, but didn't get to say anything as Setsuna jumped over the wall leading into Cinema Town.
"WHA?" Yue and Haruna screamed together in shock.
"Is she a ninja?" Haruna asked wide eyed.
"T...That kind of jumping power is..." Yue muttered in shock before shaking her head. "W...What was that all about? Don't you need to pay before going in?"
"Two girls alone together...Could it be that...? How exciting!" Haruna wondered excitedly. "Do you think so, Naruto-kun?"
No one answered. "Naruto-kun?" Haruna and Yue looked around and suddenly realized their assistant teacher had disappeared. "He's gone!"
"He probably went in already," Yue said with a shrug, but Haruna just grumbled about being ditched by Nodoka, Negi, Asuna, Setsuna, Konoka and now Naruto.
Tsukiyomi stood masterfully on top of a telephone pole looking into the town. "Cinema Town...What an interesting place to escape to!" Tsukiyomi said with a loving blush. "Haah...Setsuna-senpai...She's wonderful even she's not at work!"
'As long as there are people nearby, they won't be able to attack us. We should be able to pass the time here while we wait for Negi-sensei and the others to get back...' Setsuna thought as she scoured the area carefully before she tried to communicate through her shikigami. 'Negi-sensei! Negi-sensei! It's no good after all. The enemy's attack cut off my link with the shikigami...From Chibi Setsuna's point of view, Negi-sensei and Naruko-san looked pretty worn out...'
"Se-chan! Se-chan!" Konoka called from the side.
"Yes?" Setsuna said turning towards her princess.
"Tada!" Konoka said...The excitement being because she was now dressed up in a floral pattern kimono with her hair tied up with a headband that had flowers in and was holding an old fashioned umbrella.
She looked like the princess Setsuna always considered her as.
"WHA?" Setsuna exclaimed as she blushed and openly gaped at Konoka. "O...Ojou-sama, what are you doing wearing those clothes...?"
"Didn't you know? There's a changing room over there where you can borrow kimonos!" Konoka explained cheerfully. "Ehehe...How do I look, Se-chan?"
" Um...Err...Uh...Beautiful..." Setsuna stuttered out.
"Kyaah! Alright!" Konoka chirped happily.
'Ojou-sama has really become beautiful...Why am I getting all agitated?' Setsuna thought as she fidgeted.
"Come on, Se-chan! You change too! I'll pick one for you!" Konoka declared much to Setsuna's embarrassment.
"Eh...No...Ojou-sama...This sort of thing doesn't suit me..." Setsuna tried to deny, but Konoka just ignored her in favor of the costumes.
"Why do I get men's clothing?" Setsuna griped as she looked at her black samurai kimono with a front armor, white open coat and felt her headband with a metal plate very similar to Naruto's before she looked at her sword (which was with a prop katana). "Yuunagi doesn't suit this costume at all..."
"It suits you, Se-chan!" Konoka denied and Setsuna felt a piece of paper hit her face.
Looking at it, it read, "It really does suit you, Setsuna-chan! Love from the great Uzumaki Naruto-sama!"
Setsuna looked around quickly to find her odd teacher only to not see him anywhere. "Now come on! This way!" Konoka pointed to a random direction, but wondered why people kept throwing papers at her Se-chan.
The two found themselves in the market place of Cinema Town much to Konoka's joy.
"Look! They're selling all kinds of things here!" Konoka said excitedly.
"You're right...We should buy a souvenir..." Setsuna said with slight resignation.
"I wouldn't mind buying a lucky charm," Naruto said from behind them.
"That's a great idea Naruto-kun!" Konoka said getting over her surprise to the sudden arrival of her teacher. "What kind of lucky charm, Naruto-kun?"
No response.
"Naruto-kun?" Setsuna asked and the two turned around only to see no one there. "Where'd he go?"
"Did we imagine him?" Konoka asked puzzled.
"Sir," Setsuna said turning toward the store owner. "Did you happen to see a blonde haired man a second ago?"
"No, why?" The shop owner said making Setsuna frown in wonderment before turning to Konoka only to see that Konoka had somehow bought a sweet bun and puffed her face out with a silly expression.
"Look! A sweet bun!" Konoka said bright eyed.
"Pfft!" Setsuna laughed before turning away and trying to disguise her chuckles as coughs. "I...I'm sorry..."
"You finally laughed, Se-chan!" Konoka grinned brightly making Setsuna blush.
"Eh..." Setsuna said stunned.
"Here you go, Se-chan!" Konoka said holding a second sweet bun. "Say 'aaaan' for the sweet bun!"
"O...Ojou-sama..." Setsuna stuttered as she tried to refuse.
"Sorry about that," Naruto told the sweet bun salesman he tied up as he took off his perfect disguise of the man. "But, it was worth it to see Konoka-chan smile and Setsuna-chan to laugh."
"It's quite alright!" The sweet bun salesman assured him as he stood up and dusted himself off. "I quite agree and I'm proud to say I helped out in a way! Here you can have a sweet bun on the house just for that!"
"Thanks!" Naruto said as he lifted his ANBU fox mask to eat it so fast the sweet bun salesman never saw his face.
"Uwaah! It's a bishounen swordsman and his princess!" A group of school girls cried out in delight at the scene of Konoka feeding Setsuna a sweet bun.
"You should take a picture," Naruto whispered into the ear of one of the girls.
"Great idea mister!" The girl said turning towards the man only to find no one was there and wondered if it was her conscious speaking to her. With a shrug she decided to follow the advice anyway. "Can we take a picture?"
"Eh?" Setsuna said jumping in surprise and turning towards the group.
"Sure!" Konoka instantly agreed as she grabbed a blushing Setsuna's arm.
"We're taking it now!" The girls informed the pair as Konoka said, "Do a pose, Se-chan!"
Setsuna the ever servant of her ojou-sama grabbed Konoka into a protective hold and held her prop katana out with a serious face that made the girls squeal and take instant pictures.
"Thank you!" The girl said as she worked on getting her picture.
"That Onii-chan sure was cooperative!" One of the girls noted with a giggle.
"Actually she's a girl," a male voice said with obvious mirth and the girl turned around to see a man wearing a porcelain fox mask with a black tank top that went all of the way up his neck with a grey body armor, black gloves that went just a little past the elbows with grey armguards, black pants that were confined in long sandals that almost reached his knees standing there.
"Really?" A girl asked puzzled. "How do you know?"
"I'm their teacher," Naruto informed the girls cheerfully. "By the way, can I have a picture?"
"Sure!" One of the girl's said handing him a copy.
"Ehehehe...Se-chan, you look like a boy! Maybe they think we're a couple!" Konoka giggled out missing the entire exchange with Naruto.
"W...What are you saying, Ojou-sama!" Setsuna cried out in shock before taking a calming breath and smiling softly. 'Huhuhu...I guess this is kind of fun...Now that I think about it, Ojou-sama and I use to play like this all of the time...'
"Umm...Could I have a copy of that photo too?" Setsuna asked one of the girls timidly.
"Sure! Here you go!" The girl chirped out happily.
"Ah! Se-chan! Me too!" Konoka said quickly.
"By the way are you a girl?" A bold girl asked Setsuna who blushed.
"Y-YES!" Setsuna said embarrassed.
"So, he was telling the truth!"
"Who?" Setsuna asked suspiciously.
"Him," the girl said pointing behind her only for no one to be there. "Hey! Where did he go?"
"All I can see is two people with a good relationship..." Yue said hiding around the corner. "There is such a thing, you know..."
"No, there's no mistake about it..." Haruna said with a glint in her eye. "And, where did Naruto-kun go? I thought I saw him a moment ago..."
"Huhuhu..." A voice laughed bringing the two girls out of their thoughts. The two turned around sharply to see Kazumi standing there with a smirk as she wore a kimono, Ayaka with a black wig with an extravagant headpiece, Natsumi in a kimono a little too large for her and Chizuru wearing a tuxedo with a top hat.
"There really is something odd about those two, isn't there?" Kazumi said with a grin.
"What's going on?" Ayaka asked curiously.
"Waah! Asakura and Iincho's group!" Haruna yelled in shock. "You guys came to Cinema Town too? What's with that weird get up?"
"You've got to change when you get here," Kazumi explained blasé. "You guys should change too."
"It is fun," Naruto said from behind Chizuru making everyone jump.
"Naruto-kun!" The group cried in shock.
"Yo!" Naruto said with a hidden grin as he raised his hand up in a wave before he turned to Kazumi. "Still keeping your hair down I see...It really does suit you!"
"Th-Thanks," Kazumi said with a blush making Chizuru's smile become rather fixed.
"I gotta a picture for ya though," Naruto said handing her the picture of Setsuna and Konoka. "Thought you might be able to use this somewhere."
"Great," Kazumi said earnestly, but Natsumi noticed something.
"Ah! Someone's coming!" Natsumi declared making everyone turn to where Setsuna and Konoka almost got run over by a horse drawn carriage.
"Y...You're...!" Setsuna said nervously as the passenger stepped out.
"Hello! I'm from Shinmeiryuu!" Tsukiyomi said happily before giggling and pulling out a paper fan with fur on the end. "...No, I'm not. I'm a rich noble woman from a western house! Swordsman! I've come to take your princess in place of the money I lent you!"
"W...What? Wh...What are you thinking? In a place like this..." Setsuna said as she stared at the crazy girl wide eyed.
"It's an act, Se-chan! She's an actor!" Konoka tried to reassure the hassled girl.
"Cinema Town has actors that spontaneously get visitors involved in their acts," Yue explained lazily. "It's all very well planned..."
"Ehh...Sounds interesting!" Haruna said excitedly.
'I see...So, that's how she plans to take Ojou-sama while everyone's watching...By pretending it's a play!' Setsuna thought before she glared at Tsukiyomi. "I won't allow it! I shall protect Ojou-sama!"
"Kyaah! That was so cool, Se-chan!" Konoka declared as she hugged the girl from behind.
"Wah! D...Don't do that Ojou-sama!" Setsuna cried off balance.
"Hmm...So they do have that kind of relationship after all...?" Kazumi wondered. "What do you think, Naruto-kun? Naruto-kun?"
And once again Naruto completely disappeared.
"Eh? What's happening? Hey, everyone! What's going on?" Ayaka asked confused. 'And, where did Nii-san go? He was there a second ago...'
"Is that so? Then I guess I have no choice..." Tsukiyomi said as she pulled her white glove off and threw it at Setsuna who caught it effortlessly. "I challenge you to a duel for Konoka-sama...The place will be at 'Nipponbashi' opposite the main gate of Cinema Town."
"Hmm? Maybe she's more than just an actor..." Kazumi said to herself pretty sure that Chamo described someone like her as an enemy.
"Eh...T...Then that means...?" Yue said trying to put the piece together.
"I'm telling you, Sakurazaki-san and Konoka have that kind of relationship!" Haruna explained cheerfully. "And then, a third girl in love with Konoka appears, disguised as an actor from Cinema Town to steal her love! What do think of that?"
"Are you serious?" Chisame asked as she walked up to the group.
"Apparently," Naruto said making Chisame jump and spin around only for no one to be there.
'Great now I'm hearing that guy in my head!' Chisame thought with an annoyed huff.
"It may be troublesome, but I'll make sure you play along...You can't escape..." Tsukiyomi said as he eyes became very demon like scaring Konoka. "Setsuna-senpai..."
"Don't forget she has allies," Naruto said as he pressed a kunai to the girl's neck much to her and everyone else's surprise. "I'm sorry Noble-sama, but I won't just let anyone take Konoka-ojou-sama."
"Ah, but I have allies as well, Ninja-san," Tsukiyomi said and Naruto barely dodged the kick from the driver. Naruto looked up to see the driver take off his straw hat to reveal a kid that looked nearly like Fate except he had blonde spiky hair instead.
Tsukiyomi let out a giggle as the new kid began to drive away. "See you later! I won't mind if you call for more help!" Tsukiyomi called back.
'This is going to be troublesome,' Naruto thought with a scowl. 'I can already tell that kid's going to be a pain in my ass to fight...I guess I won't be able to help Setsuna as much as I hoped...'
'I've got no choice but to go along with it...' Setsuna thought annoyed before something caught her attention. "Hmm? WAAH!"
The reason for the reaction?
Her classmates decided to swarm her with excitement. "Hey, Sakurazaki-san! What's going on here?" Haruna asked nosily. "How did you feel?"
"Why didn't you tell us about something as important as this?" Chizuru asked with a giggle as she held Naruto's hand in a death grip while he struggled to break free.
'Where the hell did she get this strength?' Naruto thought as he tried with no avail to break free.
"How long have you been going out for?" Kazumi asked as she tried to prevent her frown from showing at the sight of Chizuru holding Naruto's hand (she completely ignored his struggle to break free).
"Who was that girl? She called you 'senpai'! Is she a past girlfriend? KYAAH!" Haruna asked excitedly as she tried to stab Chizuru's hand with a pencil to release her hottie. "Ah! I see! Sakurazaki-san and Konoka were originally from Kyoto! Now I get it!"
"'You get it'?" Chisame scoffed.
"P...Please! Just a minute here!" Setsuna cried with a deep red blush. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, don't worry! Onee-san will support you!" Kazumi told her with a smirk. "I'll make the newspaper story really tasteful, so don't worry about a thing..."
"We're on your side, Sakurazaki-san!" Haruna assured the confused and embarrassed girl.
"Just a minute here! I don't understand! You guys are leaving me behind!" Ayaka complained.
"They think that Setsuna-chan and Konoka-chan are in a romantic relationship," Naruto explained to his little sister red faced from trying to escape Chizuru.
"Eh?" Ayaka asked wide eyed staring back and forth at Setsuna and Konoka. "Ah I see now...As Iincho of Class Three-A, I shall support the love of Sakurazaki-san and Konoe-san for I know better than anyone else that the heart wants what the heart wants!"
"All of us are going to support their love!" Haruna declared. "Right everyone?"
"No," Chisame said but she was drowned out by everyone's cheer of agreement.
"Alright you punks! We're gonna be their support!" Kazumi declared with a grin. "Naruto-kun you are going to have to take down the noble's driver, okay?"
"Of course," Naruto said from behind his fox mask.
"WAAH?" Setsuna cried out overwhelmed and finally understanding what her class was talking about. "W...Wait, you've got it all wrong, everyone!"
"Idiots..." Chisame muttered as she stepped away from her class not wanting to get further involved.
"Alright! How many enemies are we dealing with? Just leave it to use, Sakurazaki-san!" Haruna said with a feral grin.
"Y...You don't understand! I'll be okay, so please stop this!" Setsuna cried and turned to Naruto for support only to see he wasn't paying attention as he tried to use a crowbar to break free of Chizuru's hand.
"Aw, don't be embarrassed, Sakurazaki-san!" Kazumi chirped cheerfully, but was secretly hoping to learn more about the enemy so she could help support Negi and Naruto better.
"What's wrong, Konoka-san?" Yue asked as she finally took notice of the shivering scared form of her friend. "Your face looks a little pale..."
"Eh...N...Nothing..." Konoka stuttered in denial that didn't fool Yue for a second, but she decided not to push it this once.
Neither saw a white haired boy watching from around the corner.
"Hurry up, Aniki!" Chamo complained riding on a Chibi Negi as they flew to where Setsuna and Naruto were.
"I...I'm doing my best Chamo-kun!" Chibi Negi retorted. "This is a very different type of magic, so I can't control it very well..."
"Oh! Aniki! This is it! There's no mistake about it!" Chamo declared as he looked over the town.
"This...is the place they called Cinema Town, isn't it?"
"Oh! Look at that, Aniki!" Chamo yelled pointing to his students and colleague; Haruna had changed into a ronin samurai outfit with two katanas and an eye patch while Yue had changed into a typical shrine priestess outfit.
'I...I'm in trouble...' Setsuna thought nervously...Her only happiness came from the fact that Naruto was there to help too. Although she was amazed at the sight of his sword, a long thin blade with ninja wire tied to the end like a sewing needle that she knew was named Nuibari.
"It's my class!" Chibi Negi exclaimed. "What are they doing here?"
"Let's go take a look! Don't let anyone see you!" Chamo reminded and Chibi Negi turned into a ball of light and appeared in front of Setsuna and Naruto.
"Setsuna-san! Naruto-nii!" Chibi Negi whispered urgently as a ball of light.
"Eh?" Setsuna and Naruto gasped in shock as the ball of light became Chibi Negi.
"Are you okay, Setsuna-san? Naruto-nii?" Chibi Negi asked looking at both of them seriously.
"Negi-sensei! How did you get here?" Setsuna asked ignoring the question.
"And, why didn't Naruko come along?" Naruto asked.
"I used Chibi Setsuna's paper and followed the trail of ki!" Chibi Negi explained proudly. "Naruko-nee-san couldn't come because she was out of chakra..."
"WHAT?" Naruto whispered a little too loudly. "How the hell did that happen?"
"She had to fight an enemy that looked like that Fate Averruncus except with red hair," Chamo explained making Naruto stiffen as he remembered who his opponent was going to be. "According to Naruko-nee he was able to withstand 'Ryujin' and 'Kirin' and get back up soon."
Naruto sucked in a hard breath. "Oh that's so not good! Not good at all!"
"What are Ryujin and Kirin, Naruto-nii?" Chibi Negi asked curiously.
"You mean you didn't notice them?" Naruto asked surprised and Setsuna, Chibi Negi and Chamo all shook their heads. "How do you not notice giant water and lightning dragons? But anyway, those two are the two of the strongest elemental dragon ninjutsus out there! Only 'Dilong' of the earth element, 'Feilong' of the wind element, the twin dragons 'Ran and Shaw' of the element of fire and 'Shenlong' of the non-elemental are on the same level! They're on par with my elemental rasengans which are considered army destroyers! Survival is practically impossible! We're in trouble if he can take those kinds of hits and keep going!"
Setsuna, Chibi Negi and Chamo were staring stupefied at him, and Setsuna was shaking with fear. "Setsuna...that blonde kid...Don't get in my way when we're fighting or you'll get hurt! I'm serious! I'm going to have to fight him with practically everything I've got and I can't use elemental ninjutsu right now!"
R-Right!" Setsuna said seriously; Chibi Negi and Chamo stared at them understanding what was about to happen when they heard a soft giggle, and saw Tsukiyomi with the spiky blonde hair kid walking down the bridge.
"Thanks for bringing your friends; it looks like things will get interesting!" Tsukiyomi said cheerfully while the blonde haired boy stood there stoically. "Alright, let's begin senpai...Konoka-sama and Setsuna-senpai...I'm going to make both of you mine!"
Setsuna and Naruto stared at them with a serious look (although no one could tell with Naruto thanks to his mask) while Konoka looked on nervously frightened. Tsukiyomi could only giggle as she pulled out her sword cheerfully.
"S...Se-chan...That person is kind of scary..." Konoka whispered fearfully. "B...Be careful."
"Please don't worry, Konoka-ojou-sama," Setsuna said as she turned around with a smile. "No matter what happens, I'll protect you!"
"When a person has something to protect..." Haku said to the twelve year old Naruto. "...that's when they can become truly strong."
'Setsuna-chan...You will only continue to grow stronger with that attitude,' Naruto thought with a smile.
"Se...Se-chan!" Konoka said with a reassured smile; she believed in her Se-chan completely. Setsuna was prevented from responding when suddenly there was clapping from all around them.
"Sakurazaki-san is cool, isn't she Ayaka?" Chizuru asked happily.
"Yes!" Ayaka agreed easily. "And, Naruto-nii too!"
"He is, isn't he?" Chizuru agreed thinking that Naruto looked very strong and protective just by standing there...Like a father.
"They should join our club. They could play male roles..." Natsumi said with stars in her eyes.
"I'd love too, Natsumi-chan!" Naruto called back. "I was in a movie once, you know!"
Natsumi didn't get a chance to say anything however as Ayaka ran forward and grabbed Setsuna's hands with tears in her eyes. "Sakurazaki-san! I'm moved by the loved between you two! I'll lend you my strength!" Ayaka told her with cheerful tears.
"I'm telling you, this is all a mistake Iincho!" Setsuna said aggravated.
"Hohohoho! You there! Is that boy all you have for reinforcements? We, Sakurazaki-san's classmates, will be your opponents!" Ayaka said proudly with a condescending laugh.
"Iincho-san..." Setsuna said with a sweat drop before turning to her opponent. "You said your name was Tsukiyomi, right? These people are—"
"Yes, senpai. I know..." Tsukiyomi interrupted. "But, first can you tell me your name Ninja-san? My employer wants to know!"
"I'll only tell you if your friend right tells me what his is," Naruto said and Tsukiyomi looked to her companion pleadingly.
With a sigh the boy said in monotone, "You can call me Apocalypse Averruncus."
"Then you can call me Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto said and Tsukiyomi nodded satisfied.
"Now that that's done!" Tsukiyomi said happily she pulled out a bunch of charms that summoned childish and cute demons in droves. "My cute little pets will be their opponents! Hyakkiyakou-!"
"WHA?" Haruna screeched wide eyed.
"Oh my..." Yue gulped.
"What are they? They're so cute!" Natsumi yelled out bright eyed.
"Whoa! Awesome CG!" A person in the crowd said excitedly.
"Just what you would expect from a Cinema Town attraction!" The person's friend agreed happily.
'I'm glad I didn't get involved in this...' Chisame thought with a sigh of relief while Zazie and Setsuko (who just suddenly showed up) watched Naruto with an interested expression.
"Hyaah!" Ayaka cried as the monsters lifted up her kimono for everyone to see her panties and pulled her wig off.
"AAAN!" Natsumi cried as tried to pull her kimono down.
"IYAAH! What's with these perverted monsters?" Haruna yelled as she tried to stop the monsters from stripping her. "Is this part of the attraction too?"
"T...This is...!" Chibi Negi stuttered with a blush.
'I blame you for this Negi,' Naruto thought as he held back from looking at the girls.
"Negi-sensei! Please take Konoka-ojou-sama and escape somewhere safe!" Setsuna said seriously.
"Eh...But..." Chibi Negi stuttered out but Setsuna ignored him.
"It'll only affect your appearance but I'll make you life sized," Setsuna said and Chibi Negi disappeared in a puff of smoke only to come out life size in a ninja costume.
"I'm a ninja now?" Ninja Negi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right," Naruto said at his side. "And as a Kage I am now your commanding officer, so I command you to take Konoka somewhere safe!"
"Yes sir!" Ninja Negi saluted automatically as he grabbed Konoka's hand.
"Hyaah! Negi-kun! Since when have you been here?" Konoka yipped in surprise. "You surprised me!"
"Konoka-san, please come with me!" Ninja Negi said without explanation as he tried to pull her away.
"I'm sorry about this, but I'll leave it up to you from here!" Setsuna told the young fake ninja. "You can't fly anymore so be careful."
"Ah! Se-chan!" Konoka cried as Setsuna and Naruto dashed forward. "Naruto-kun!"
"Dual Sword Successive Strike, Steel-Cleaving Flash!" Tsukiyomi cried as she struck with both of her swords and breaking Setsuna's prop katana while Naruto kicked the boy backward.
Apocalypse recovered instantly and punched Naruto in the stomach and followed with a roundhouse kick to the face that sent Naruto skidding across the water. Naruto didn't care about that though as he stood on the water closed his eyes and opened them to reveal that he was in Yang Sage Mode (not that anyone could tell thanks to his mask.
"Rasengan Discs!" Naruto cried as he formed a Rasengan in each hand instantly and flattened them and threw them at Apocalypse only for the boy to dodge easily. With a growl Naruto began throwing a barrage of them easily that Apocalypse easily dodged, but before the boy could dash forward he was forced to jump back as a sword was thrown at him. Instantly he saw the wire around it.
"What's this?" Apocalypse wondered until the sun showed that the wire was in fact all around him and tied to the sword.
"Hah!" Naruto yelled as he threw a bunch of papers on the wire and had them close around like a cocoon. "BOOM!"
At once the papers all blew at perfect range on Apocalypse and Naruto dispelled his Shadow Clone along with storing Nuibari, but before he could catch a breath a bolt of lightning erupted from the spot Apocalypse was and Naruto was forced to dodge a lance made of lightning.
Naruto didn't have time to process what happened when another lance went flying at him from the flying Apocalypse. "Rasengan Sword!" Naruto cried and he quickly formed a Rasengan that he squeezed into a long tube like blade that parried the lance of lightning.
"I don't lose that easily!" Naruto cried as he used the Levitation Jutsu to push off the ground and fly at the boy while dodging the blasts of lightning. "Great Ball Rasengan!"
Apocalypse didn't have time to dodge as the large and powerful Rasengan blasted him to the ground, but Naruto didn't gloat his victory as he disappeared in a flash of yellow light and kicked Tsukiyomi in the face while picking up his Space-Time Kunai.
Naruto jumped backwards as Setsuna dashed forward to take advantage of the opening, but alas Tsukiyomi recovered quickly and blocked the blow. "Have the Shinmeiryuu of late taken to keeping monsters?" Setsuna asked with a grunt as she saw her classmates trying to force off the minor demons.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt those humans," Tsukiyomi assured her. "All I want to do is cross swords with Setsuna-senpai..."
"I won't play along with some who just wants to fight!" Setsuna said as she pushed Tsukiyomi away and jumped back.
"Oh, come on! Don't say that!" Tsukiyomi whined sadly.
"What an awesome sword fight!" Somebody in the crowd yelled in awe.
"The sword fight?" Someone yelled incredulously. "Did you miss that other fight? That was awesome!"
"Yeah, but it has no girls," the man pointed out and most of the men nodded sagely.
"Idiots," the girls in the crowd mumbled.
"Argh!" Naruto cried as a bolt of lightning cut along his side and Naruto was cut in half by a lance of lightning at point blank courtesy of Apocalypse.
"Naruto-kun!" Setsuna cried only to receive a small cut along her cheek.
"Don't get distracted, Setsuna-senpai!" Tsukiyomi giggled happily as she licked the blood off her sword. "You don't want to go like Naruto-han, do you?"
"That...That's...?" Ayaka cried in wonder as she saw her young teacher try to push through the crowd totally missing the death of her other sensei. "Negi-sensei? Negi-sensei is here...?"
"Iincho! Watch out! There's a giant Kappa coming your way!" Haruna cried out to the distracted girl and Ayaka turned around with a glare.
"Yukihiro Ayaka Self-Style: Art of the Unifying Ki, Flower in Snow!" Ayaka said as she used her forearm to smash the Kappa into the ground easily.
"Kapa?" The Kappa yelled as it falls prey to the shota-con's attack.
"Way to go! That's Iincho for you!" Haruna yelled impressed.
"Hohohoho! It was foolish to think a stuffed toy could be a match for me! No obstacles can stand between me and Negi-sensei!" Ayaka said with a grin. "More importantly, right now Negi-sensei is...Negi...Ne...Ko..."
Ayaka's thought process was cut off as her eyes bulged at the sight of a giant Maneki Neko coming right down on her, but the pain she expected never came. "Pay attention Ayaka-chan!" Naruto scolded as he held the lucky cat with one hand and ignored the log he used for a substitution earlier. "As Iincho it is your job to make sure the others get out of here! That's your part in this skit while Negi plays my underling ninja to escape with the princess! You have to do your role!"
"B-But—" Ayaka stuttered out only for Naruto to bonk her on the head.
"Everybody's got to play their part Ayaka-chan!" Naruto said with a groan. "We want this to be a success!"
"Of course..." Ayaka said with a sigh before turning to her classmates. "As Iincho I order all of you to defeat these perverted evil demons at once!"
"Alright!" Her classmates yelled together as Chizuru punched a small Kappa, Haruna threw a minor demon off Natsumi and Kazumi flicked one off of a downed Yue.
"Rowdy as usual, I see...I'm so sick of these guys...idiots..." Chisame muttered as she cleaned her glasses while Zazie sighed with relief at seeing Naruto was okay.
Naruto turned back to the stoic Apocalypse who looked a little surprised at his survival and threw a shuriken at the boy. Apocalypse jumped over it, but Naruto wasn't bothered as he cried, "Shuriken Expansion Jutsu!"
Suddenly the shuriken became as big as a two story house and Apocalypse and Naruto both landed on it as it soared further in the air. Not bothered by the rotation, the two dashed forward and Naruto threw a straight punch that Apocalypse dodged and countered with a sharp kick to the back of the knee that made Naruto fall down to his knees.
Pressing his advantage, Apocalypse punched Naruto so hard in the back that it caused the shuriken to turn to the side, but Naruto was able to recover and was running along the blade. Apocalypse blasted a bolt of lightning at him, but Naruto pulled out his Time-Space Kunai and screamed, "Space Time Barrier Jutsu!"
The bolt of lightning was sucked into the hastily created barrier and blasted Apocalypse from behind sending him flying at Naruto who clothes lined the boy and caused the giant shuriken to land in the lake vertically. "Bye bye!" Naruto cried as he jumped off and let the shuriken explode with a bunch of exploding tags.
Naruto thought for sure he got the boy, but was sent flying by a powerful electric kick. Naruto looked up to see that Apocalypse seem to become made of lightning, but before he could counterattack Apocalypse vanished and punched him in the stomach causing Naruto to double over. Apocalypse then hit him with an open palm uppercut that sent Naruto soaring in the air and then he reappeared over Naruto and slammed him back into the ground.
However, the second Naruto touched the ground he disappeared in a puff of smoke making Apocalypse curse softly and look up to see Naruto with a giant scroll in his hand. "Take this you brat!" Naruto screamed as he opened it completely and let loose a ton of kunai all over the entire town that somehow missed hitting anyone.
Apocalypse was about to mock him when Naruto appeared next to the kunai because they were ALL Time Space Kunai...Apocalypse was on him in a second and punched where Naruto was only to be sent flying by a kick to the side as Naruto instantly appeared. The boy didn't have time to counter though because he suddenly found his body caught by the neck and slammed into the ground.
Apocalypse blasted a bolt of lightning, but Naruto was standing on a nearby roof completely fine.
"Are you okay, Konoka-san?" Ninja Negi asked his companion.
"Yes!" Konoka quickly assured him.
"Tch! These guys are persistent!" Chamo complained quietly as he flicked off a minor demon.
"Y...Yeah..." Ninja Negi agreed never breaking pace until he came across what appeared to be a secret entrance to one of the castle look alike. "Konoka-san, let's hide in here!"
"Okay!" Konoka quickly agreed and the two ran in as secretly as they could.
"T...These stairs are kind of long..." Ninja Negi said tiredly as they ran as fast as they could.
"Ah! Negi-kun! It's a room!" Konoka said excitedly.
"Alright!" Ninja Negi cried with a relief, but his blood ran cold when he heard a sinister laugh. There stood Chigusa with Fate right in the same room.
"Welcome, Konoka-ojou-sama...It seems Tsukiyomi-han was able to track you down after all...Oh?" Chigusa gloated but gasped in a little surprise as she saw Negi standing there. "What is that boy doing here? Kotaro and the red haired kid should have him trapped...Aha...I see..."
Chigusa smirked as she got a better look at Negi. "This isn't your real body, is it? You can't do anything here, so you won't be of much use..." Chigusa said. "And, that blonde powerhouse of yours has his hands full at the moment, doesn't he? Well now, you are in trouble, aren't you?"
"This is bad, Aniki!" Chamo whispered fervently.
Meanwhile Setsuna still had her hands full with Tsukiyomi and unfortunately Naruto was not able to help her any further. Setsuna ducked as Tsukiyomi's first blade nearly chopped her head off and parried the second blade. Pressing her advantages, Setsuna swung her sword forward only to be blocked and was forced to use Yuunagi as a lever to jump over Tsukiyomi's and avoid her second strike. 'Kuh! There aren't any openings!'
"Look at that! Look!" A woman screamed pointing to the roof of one of the castles.
"Look on top of the castle!" A person yelled and everyone looked to see Ninja Negi and Konoka standing near the edge of the castle while Chigusa, Fate and a beast stood on the other side quite smugly.
"They've got a show going in a place like that?"
"Amazing! What is that?" A man yelled pointing towards the beast.
"It's some kind of beast!"
"The princess is in danger, dad!" A little girl cried to her daddy fearfully.
"CG again?"
"It must be Stop Motion Graphics!"
"Go for it, young ninja!"
"Ojou-sama?" Setsuna cried but she was forced to turn away as she blocked Tsukiyomi's strike.
"Ara, you shouldn't look away!" Tsukiyomi said with a giggle.
"Konoka-chan!" Naruto cried and appeared on the roof about to strike Fate away when Fate instantly punched, but Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to appear behind him only to be kicked in the air and intercepted by Apocalypse who smashed him so hard into the ground it created a small crater.
"Sakurazaki Setsuna, guard to Ojou-sama! Can you hear me? You can see that this demon has these two within his sights!" Chigusa said proudly as she pointed to her demon holding a drawn bow and arrow pointed directly at Ninja Negi and Konoka. "Don't interfere if you value Ojou-sama's life!"
Chigusa began to cackle at them. "Fufufu...Negi is your name, right boy? I'll have him shoot you if you move a single step. Now hand over, Ojou-sama."
"N...Negi-kun...i...is this CG too? They're making a film...aren't they?" Konoka asked as she stood behind Ninja Negi frightened.
"I...I'm sorry, Konoka-san..." Negi apologized as he flinched. 'Kuh...This can't be...Setsuna-san believed in me...She trusted me with Konoka-san...'
"T...That bow looks pretty dangerous," Chamo whispered wearily.
"...It's okay, Negi-kun," Konoka said taking a deep calming breath.
"Eh?" Ninja Negi asked.
"Se-chan said she'd protect me no matter what," Konoka said with a self assured smile. "Se-chan will definitely come to save us!"
"Ko...Konoka-san!" Ninja Negi stuttered out in surprise.
"What are you muttering about? Hurry up and hand over Ojou-sam—wah!" Chigusa was cut off as a strong breeze nearly made her lose her footing while Konoka had to grab on to Ninja Negi to avoid falling off while Ninja Negi stepped to the side slightly to better his footing.
"Konoka-san!" Ninja Negi cried as he grabbed Konoka's arm and helped her remain standing.
"Moho?" The beast said as he noticed the step Ninja Negi took and fired off the arrow.
"Eh?" Chigusa muttered until it processed what her beast just did and her eyes widened significantly. "AAAAAAH! Why did you shoot her?"
"Cause he moved!" The beast retorted simply. "You should compliment me!"
"We're going to get hell if Ojou-sama gets hurt!" Chigusa cried as the arrow soared toward Konoka.
"Aniki!" Chamo cried out as Ninja Negi dashed in front of Konoka to protect, but he had forgotten it was not his real body and thus the arrow passed through him completely unhindered.
'Ko...Konoka-san...!' Ninja Negi thought as time seemed to slow down as the arrow got closer only for Naruto to suddenly appear in front of Konoka and the arrow to pierce his mask.
"Na...Naruto-kun?" Konoka asked with heavy breaths.
"I'm fine Konoka-chan," Naruto said and the crowd gasped as his fox mask split and began to crumble off revealing Naruto's orange slit eyes with a bar across the middle and the heavy set of whisker marks. "The mask protected me."
"Thank goodness," Konoka said in relief.
'Thank you Naruto-kun,' Setsuna thought with a sigh as she tried to slash at Tsukiyomi.
"Hey! That guys really hot!" A woman from the crowd screamed with hearts in her eyes that made several girls in three-A flinch angrily.
"Hey isn't that Uzumaki Naruto?" A guy called from the crowd.
"Who?"
"One of the authors of that new book series Icha Icha!"
"No way!"
"It is!"
"I wonder if he'd use me as a model!" A woman yelled with a lecherous grin.
"No way! He'll use me!" Another girl cried pushing the woman out of the way.
"Hey do you think he'll sign my copy?" A man asked holding his book up.
"Mine too!"
"I didn't know he could act!" A college girl yelled amazed. "I wonder if he'll do a nude bath scene with me..."
'I knew I shouldn't have put a picture of myself in the "About the authors" section of the books...' Naruto thought with a sweat drop before turning serious. "Hold on tight Konoka-chan! Negi!"
Before either could comprehend what Naruto was doing they were on another roof and Naruto reappeared on the roof with Chigusa. "You'll pay for that last one Chigusa!" Naruto cried as he dashed forward only for Chigusa's Goki and Zenki as well as Fate to get in his way.
Naruto smashed through the golems with ease and managed to dodge Fate's attack and throw a Rasengan Disc point blank to blast Fate away. "I'm not done!" Naruto yelled as he pulled out a kunai with a unique tag on it. "Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Instantly one hundred kunai's formed from the one and strangely enough they lined up like a pair of clenched fangs. Naruto touched one of the kunai's and channeled most of his chakra into it taking him out of Yang Sage Mode. "Shenlong!" Naruto cried and the kunai glowed until all of the sudden they erupted into around them formed into a gigantic dragon that was as big as Kyoto itself.
"HOLY CRAP!" Someone cried out.
"THAT'S AWESOME CG!"
"Do not worry people of Kyoto," a reporter said over a television. "We have received reports this is all nothing but CG created by Cinema Town. I repeat, do not panic! It is all fake!"
The giant blue chakra dragon roared showing that the kunai were in fact the dragon's fangs and Fate suddenly found himself on the receiving end of the dragon's full attack sending him soaring into the sky. Fate managed to dodge the monsters fangs but the tail of the creature slammed into him sending him flying across Kyoto to land in Nara Park where Chouji ended up sitting on him.
"THAT WAS INSANE!"
"I NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THAT!"
"MARRY ME UZUMAKI-DONO!"
Chigusa who had literally wet herself at the sight of the dragon instantly decided it would be better to try at a different time and used the commotion to escape.
Tsukiyomi on the other hand used Setsuna's amazement against her and struck Setsuna so hard she went flying to where Konoka was. "Se-chan!" Konoka gasped as she saw her childhood friend with cuts all over her face and a possible broken arm.
"Not yet senpai!" Tsukiyomi giggled with her demon like eyes. "I haven't finished cutting you up yet!"
Tsukiyomi dashed forward with her sword drawn and before Setsuna could react, stabbed Setsuna straight through the stomach only for Naruto to land and kick her away. The blow however forcefully pulled the sword out causing Setsuna's blood to go flying on Konoka's face and Setsuna to fall off the roof bleeding profusely.
"Setsuna-sa—" Ninja Negi gasped in shock.
"Setsuna," Naruto said struggling to stand up.
"Se..." Konoka stuttered as she touched her face and looked at the blood on her hands.
"Look!" Haruna cried out.
"Setsuna-san!" Kazumi screamed in horror as she saw the blood flowing out and she knew it wasn't act.
"SE-CHAAAN!" Konoka cried out as she jumped off the roof, but Naruto couldn't save her as he saw Apocalypse flying towards them.
"No you don't!" Naruto panted out as he punched the boy away and flew into the sky.
'O...Ojou-sama...?' Setsuna thought blearily as Konoka grabbed hold and the two fell onto the river.
"What?" Yue cried as she covered her eyes due to a sudden light.
"Hey! Look!" A man cried amazed at this play even further...They went all out for this one! He was so glad his son convinced him to come today!
The reason being because Konoka was currently floating above the water glowing while Setsuna's was floating in front of her with her kimono undone revealing her body to be completely unscathed and not even the blood was left much to Setsuna's shock. "Se-chan...Thank goodness..." Konoka mumbled with happily with tears in her eyes.
"O...Ojou-sama..." Setsuna said back wide eyed and then noticed there was no pain as Konoka gingerly landed on the shore. "The wound is...gone."
Setsuna stared at Konoka with amazement as she got on her knees and looked at Konoka seriously. "O...Ojou-sama...You used your power...?"
"W...What was I doing?" Konoka asked with a confused expression. "I was in some kind of trance..."
"Hey! HEY! Something's going on up there!" Someone cried and everyone looked up wondering what was next when they saw Naruto floating in the air with a Rasengan large enough to turn Kyoto into nothing but a smoking crater.
"It's a Spirit—" A man began.
"Sh!" The person next to him interrupted. "There's copyright on that thing stupid! We're already pushing our luck with Shenlong!"
"Oh...Right...Sorry," the random person said sheepishly.
"Take this Apocalypse!" Naruto cried as he threw the enormous Rasengan down at Apocalypse who stood ready to try and escape or catch it. "Ultimate Rasengan!"
Apocalypse stared at the gigantic attack wearily and prepared himself for the likely painful attack when suddenly he was flying away and he saw Naruto with a Rasengan in hand at his side. Before he could comprehend what happened four Shadow Clones appeared around him and cried, "Rasengan barrier!"
Each holding two Rasengans they melted together into a cubed around Apocalypse that constricted around him and exploded sending Apocalypse flying away unconscious. The enormous Rasengan soon disappeared instantly.
"Tch! You think I can make a Rasengan that big after using Shenlong? HAH! You fell for a simple genjutsu stupid!" was the last thing Naruto said before he passed out completely spent.
"Tch! Damn it!" Chigusa scoffed as she stared at Konoka and Naruto. "So, that's Konoka-ojou-sama's power...Just as I thought...And, that hottie is the author of Icha Icha, huh? I should have known..."
Chigusa pulled out her own copy before mumbling to herself, "I wonder if he'll sign my copy next time...?"
"Setsuna-san!" Chibi Negi, as his ninja form lost power, cried out.
"There are too many enemies! We have to meet up!" Chamo whispered fervently. "And, Nii-san passed out so he's no use.
"Y...Yes we should," Setsuna agreed as she picked up Naruto and threw him over her shoulder much to her body's protest. 'We've got no choice!'
"Ara?" Konoka squeaked out when she suddenly found herself being held bridal style once more.
"Ojou-sama, let's go back to your family home and meet Kagurazaka-san and the others!"
"Eh..." was all Konoka managed to say as Setsuna ran off with her in her arms and Naruto hanging limply.
