AN: So, I am writing this as a way of updating and increasing the continuation of the plot to go on and see the end. How much of that made sense? No one knows.

(Chapter 4- Slice of Life)

It was a strange thing, Kokuo mused to himself, that Naruto had taken such an interest in Satsuki. Sure, he had had his attention drawn by other girls and woman, but never before so much.

In all honesty, it kind of weirded him out. The Naruto Uzumaki he remembered was a carefree playboy. No one girl had ever satisfied him and he was notorious for going from one girl to the next.

Yes, Kokuo mused again as he sat on a bench, closing his eyes and sleeping there randomly, as he often did, it was such a strange thing indeed.

Sighing to himself, Kokuo gave a groan as he heard a loud, rather annoying voice wash over him. He absolutely despised Mako Makanshou, what with her perpetual optimism, rather lesbianic tendancies, and overall good cheer when he wanted to be nothing but a pessimistic, heterosexual, gloomy bastard.

They were like water and freaking oil!

(Line Break)

She had been invited to watch him go about his 'training', even if she had some doubts as to what that was. It was rather hard to believe that he would train, let alone allow her to see his methods, and maybe steal them for herself.

Or he could just be that much of a badass.

Satsuki shook her head as she made her way out to the wasteland surrounding Honnoji Academy to where Naruto was waiting for her, keeping up her customary frown. It was like she was constantly disapproving of every little thing anyone ever did.

As she walked, she thought over her plan to get Ryuko out of the giant chess game against REVOCS, as she had no intention of letting such a Wild Card go free in these times. The only reason she didn't attempt this with Naruto was because he was semi-on her side already. Other than his 'training' of Ryuko to be a better swordsman...woman...person, he hadn't really done much other than give her the occasional headache from his pranks and antics.

Finally arriving at Naruto training spot, the buxom raven haired girl stopped and looked around, absently noting the rather poor attempt by her Student Council to follow her stealthily, only to freeze and gape ever so slightly at the sight before her.

It was Naruto...with his shirt off.

Her cheeks began to heat up as she gazed at his adonis like body, a flaming blush making it's way into her pale face as she watched it stretch and contract with every move. Normally, she wouldn't have reacted this way, but she would make an acception this single instance since what she was seeing was perhaps the most physically fit male she had seen in her life. And it didn't help that she could see beads of sweat disappear past his pants seam, nor that the article of clothing in question hung so low on his amazing body.

Naruto's body was damn near close to absolute perfection. It was lean, with sinewy muscle compacted onto his bones, stretching and moving as he went through some kind of martial arts katas. His rock hard abs glistened slightly from sweat as he kicked, small scars of some kind popping up here and there on his god-like body.

How he had kept such a thing hidden, or even why, her mind couldn't comprehend. His clothes were pretty baggy, so it wasn't that much of a stretch to figure he hid all of this from others by wearing his Kamui. Speaking of, Shinju wasn't anywhere near Naruto, as the young man was wearing loose pants that were a dark blue in color that had red flames licking the bottoms.

It was an image Satsuki unconsciously memorized and stored away for later.

"Uzumaki!" Satsuki said loudly, drawing his attention. he waved and jogged over to her, slightly out of breath and bringing the scent of hard work with him.

"Yo, Satsuki!" He greeted, coming to a stop in front of her. He idly noted that he could see Ira Gamagoori attempting to hide behind a lump of rock nearby, as well as the weird guy with the wooden swords awkwardly pretending to be a tree by holding up tree branches, the glasses wearing, computer carrying kid not even trying to hide and sitting in plain sight on the ground, and Nonon actually managing a decent job of hiding, if not for her ridiculously big hat and pink hair, behind Ira. "You ready to see my training?"

Satsuki nodded, her mind going over what they could be doing. "Yes. I am most curious as to how you gain your strength, Uzumaki."

Naruto grinned and walked over to a pile of clothes, which just so happened to be Shinju, which immediately took the form of his normal clothes as he slipped them on. "Alright. So, in my opinion, the best and fastest way to get stronger is to fight strong people. So, power up your Kamui and let's do this!"

She blinked in surprise. Fighting? That was his method? She half expected some kind of weird training session with cheesy music, because it seemed just the kind of thing that Naruto would do. "Very well then, Uzumaki."

She grabbed the straps on her left arm and flicked them down, her Kamui glowing and covering her form as it changed to it's battle mode. Junketsu grew tinier as it did so, before revealing her battle form to Naruto.

It was skimpy as hell. It had two large shoulder things with Junketsu's eyes, which halfway covered her large breasts. Two suspender like straps went down the front and connected to a skirt like piece of cloth that covered her skimpy panties. Finally, high heeled boots completed the look. So much of her wonderfully pale skin was showing, that his mind went blank for a few moments and needed to be rebooted so as to keep himself professional here.

Naruto blinked in shock, his eyes roving over her form as she drew her katana. It was certainly...distracting. Although, it kind of made sense why it would be. Male opponents would be too busy staring to fight her, and that was bad. "Well...it is certainly unique."

"Are you also going to activate your Kamui, Uzumaki?" It was only logical he do so.

Naruto shrugged and replied in an excited manner. "No. I think i wanna see what I can do against you without Shinju helping me."

The young man extended his hands and six black orbs flew from the pockets of his pants and floated behind him in a circle, two of them floating to his hands and transforming into black rods that he grabbed and held in a fighting stance.

Satsuki watched with a raised eyebrow until Naruto answered her unasked question. "The Old Man isn't the only one with a knack for inventing interesting weapons and tools."

They paused for a second before blurring towards one another, clashing in the middle as they fought for dominance over the other. Naruto's constant grin got bigger and bigger the more that Satsuki fought back against his weapons, the two orbs in his hands forming into pitch black staves.

Said girl brought her fist up and sucker punched him in the cheek, giving her a momentary advantage to bring her blade back up and swing it down, completely missing Naruto as he rolled out of the way, but cutting through several boulders from the wind it created.

Naruto responded by charging forward, bringing his staves from either side and swinging both, which Satsuki ducked under, before flipping over her.

Landing on the other side, they charged again and clashed in the middle, again fighting for dominance. Naruto's grin was face splitting as his blue eyes stared intently into Satsuki's own and roared. "SHOW ME YOUR HEART! SHOW ME YOUR CONVICTIONS! SHOW ME EVERYTHING!"

They pushed away only to clash again in the middle, trading blow after blow, bruising and cutting each other up badly. Finally, they broke away and began to run parallel to each other before Naruto's staffs turned into classic cutlasses, which he used to attack again.

Satsuki felt herself slowly but surely get pushed back, the male in front of her making it even more difficult to fight due to his unpredictable nature. When she thought he would go for a stab, he instead slashed, when she thought he would parry, he blocked. Even with her considerable skill it was still proving to be a most difficult fight, and one she was desperately seeking a way to end the fight.

Suddenly, she got a devious, last ditch chance idea that would definitely end the spar.

She got into his guard, making Naruto tense and prepare to counter by bringing his staves up for a downward strike. But, instead of striking or attacking him, she instead grabbed him by the back of his head and smashed her lips to his, making his eyes widen as she did so.

All was silent as they stood there, lips to lips, until Satsuki pushed him to the ground and pointed her sword at him in victory. "I win."

Naruto simply nodded as he tried to wrap his head around what just happened.

(Line Break)

Satsuki sat in her study sipping a cup of tea quietly as she thought over the spar earlier, her mind going over just why she had done that. As she thought logically about it, she had her Student Council looking up as much information as they could about Naruto Uzumaki.

As she thought about the events, she began to dissect just why she had done so. She had always respected power and those who had power, even her mother, as much as she disliked to admit it. So, when Naruto had managed to fight her when she was using considerable force, showed just how powerful he really was, well, she was attracted.

She wasn't blind, either. She knew he was incredibly handsome and good looking, at least by the standards most girls had for themselves, including her. It was driven home by the fact that whenever he entered the school, most of the female populace tried to get into his pants. He was just a good looking guy that had a lot of prospects, and a lot of girls wanted to get a piece of it.

It was slightly frustrating for her, as Naruto was closest to her and, aside from Matoi, whom he spent a decent amount of time with, he generally spent most of it with her, either by annoying her with his constant references to popular culture or just speaking about random things. But with Matoi, he reserved his serious and strength filled attitude.

It made a slight jealous feeling wash over her each time Naruto would go and speak to Matoi, or even help her with one of the challenges she set up for Ryuko, but she knew that Naruto was only doing it out of some kind of favor to this 'Old Man' he talked about often.

(Line Break)

Naruto sighed as he walked along the streets of the city in boredom. That was one of the biggest problems he face now. Since he didn't have school and he didn't want to get a job, he had nothing he had to do. It made his life just a little bit more annoying, and just that much more amazing too. He had no school!

Shaking his head, Naruto groaned as he was once again surrounded by a group of ragamuffins, this time they were much more cautious, as Ryuko walked out with a scowl on her face and hands on her hips.

"Where the hell have you been?!" She all but growled out. Naruto looked at her blankly, his eyes blinking as he thought about it, before pointing down the street.

"I was there for a bit. Then over there. Spent some time here. Went back to that direction. And now, here we are!"

Ryuko scowled even more as she got closer to him, her head having to crane up to look in his face. "Not what I meant, asshole!"

Naruto grinned in response, leaning down into her face, his hot breath tickling her lips. "Now now, Ryuko-chan, a pretty girl like you shouldn't be using such foul language. it is rather unbecoming."

Ryuko blushed and growled as she took a swipe at the older male, who ducked with a laugh and began walking away. "Oi! Where do you think you're going?!"

"To find something to do that's interesting."

Naruto stopped when he came upon the sight of Timmy, once again, holding a condom, his face having a grin on it as he swayed back and forth. Frowning, Naruto raised his foot and kicked the obviously gay little boy in the face.

He would never be attracted to you, Timmy. Not now, and not ever.

(Line Break)

He had wound up, somehow, at the Makanshou residence, bored out of his mind as the small pug that they had, Guts, rested on his shoulder like a parrot. The oldest child, their daughter, Mako, was busy bothering Ryuko as they tried to complete homework, and their son, Mataro, pestered Naruto with questions about how he got so cool and shit.

Sighing and running a hand through his hair, Naruto looked sharply at the kid and said in an iron clad voice. "Kid, if I buy you porn, will you shut the hell up?"

That certainly made the kid quiet.

Any man was willing to watch porn. It was a simple fact of life that seemed to escape many woman, and it was sort of like the stereotype of woman always watching soap operas.

It was later as he left, leaving Mataro to watch the cheap 70s porn he had bought for him. Hey, he wasn't going to stop the kid. Life was about living, if he took away the porn it would be a major dick move. He wasn't a dick.

He was an asshole. There was a major difference between the two. A Dick does things to piss people off, and asshole does is for the Lolz, and to annoy people. Like Ryuko.

Speaking of, he had better hurry. She apparently had a tennis match with the tennis Captain today because she felt the need to help that weird Mako person, and if he didn't hurry he was going to miss it, which would be disappointing. The girl barely had patience and was so not a good candidate for the tennis team. Or basketball. Or baseball. Come to think of it, she wasn't a good candidate for any kind of sport.

Huh, go figure.

Sarcastic comments and thoughts aside, Naruto really hoped that Ryuko didn't do anything too stupid so as to get in trouble and make herself, and by some association him, look bad.

AN: Okay, it is shorter, but it should keep you guys good and sated for the next chapter, which might not be coming out for a while.

As always, do as you do, not as I do, but you, shadaloopiedoobop!
