Hi all.
I was browsing FFN and came across the Naruto X Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei section…and it was severely lacking in content if you ask me…no offence to the authors there, but most are so short I read through over half the stories in half an hour…yes, I am a fast reader.
Anyway, I watched the anime and began thinking of a story, and came up with three different versions=
One: Naruto and Naruko replace Tatsuya and Miyuki and basically legging it from there…kinda boring if you ask me…
Two: Replace all characters in Mahouka with Naruto figures and play with the storyline a bit…that would mean making a world where there are nothing but OC's, resulting in a volatile AUOC Molotov cocktail…
Three: Well…this is the version I ultimately ended up with, so you'll see how this one goes…Warning, Naruto is OC in abilities…
Enjoy ;P
Prolog
Magic.
Had one asked about it a few centuries ago, then the answer would have been something along the lines of "See that tall Mountain over there? The one that reaches the clouds? Half way up you'll find a cabin. The old madman there can tell you all you want to hear about it."
However, since the outbreak of World War 1, Magic Users have been showing up all over the world in growing numbers, however they didn't actively take part in fighting until 2045, when World War 3 broke out.
Here, many Nations fielded the first battalions of Magicians in support of their regular ground forces, though as the war continued, more and more magicians were drafted into the front lines.
However, this led to the appearance of seriously Overpowered magicians, labelled Strategic-class Magicians…each of whom was able to cause destruction on Par if not exceeding a Strategic Nuclear Strike.
Following the end of the War in 2064, in which the Population of the Planet was cut back by over 60%, it was unanimously agreed on by ALL of the factions that came to power during the War that a law was to be passed that forces each nation/faction to say how many Strategic Class Magicians they have, and who they are.
Unfortunately, after 20 years, only a few factions still followed this agreement.
Apart from the change in Political Powers, a great change came in the form of numerous Privately Owned Militaristic groups. These PMCs were initially only Mercenaries who fought for the Highest Bidder, but later on in the War, a number of PMCs changed that, and effectively became their nation of origin's main Military power.
It was no longer a case of fighting for the highest bidder, but more of a case of either 'fight for your homeland with better pay than the old Military used to give' or 'Fight for the land in which the Boss keeps his cash'. In the years following the War, the latter type became extinct.
In Japan, two PMCs monopolize this Industry: The much larger group, dubbed 'Konoha' due to the fact that their standard uniform always comes with Leaf-shaped Camo designs covering it, whilst the smaller one, Red Spiral, whilst smaller, dealt mostly with Black Ops, Hostage Rescue, Fighting behind enemy lines…basically the military operations that require stealth, finesse and small units. Konoha fielded larger groups and relied more on firepower than anything else.
This being said, neither of these PMCs is made up of Magicians, no indeed, only 10% of Konoha's forces are magicians whilst 25% of Red Spiral's forces are, mainly due to their policy that at least one of each of their 4-man teams should be able to utilize Magic, be it either support, defensive or offensive in nature.
Back to Magicians in general…in Japan several schools had opened specifically meant for aspiring magicians, however, shortly after their opening, a rift was formed between those students who got above average in their tests, better known as 1st course students who dubbed themselves Blooms, and those who came below the average, better known as 2nd course student but were dubbed Weeds by the Blooms. This led to tension in several schools, where the peace is barely kept in check by fear from the upper classes who have far more experience in magical combat.
On a side note, calling anyone a Weed or a Bloom in front of a Red Spiral operative is the fastest way to get your ass kicked into oblivion. And don't even get started what happens when an arrogant ass calls a Red Spiral operative a weakling…The bodies are almost never found…yeah, RS Operatives have a very short temper.
The Konoha operatives would just glare at you until you shut up…unless they were part of the Uchiha clan members…then you were either fucked or recruited…depending on the mood of the operative.
Chapter 1
"In other news, the civil war in the African Union has reached a turning point when a Battalion of Konoha Mercenaries stepped in to aid the Republican Forces…"
The 16 year old girl sighed as she finished putting on the dress for the Ball she had been invite to.
"…Some sources say that the extremely dangerous Mage Slayer, Shadow-Fox, may have been operating in the area as well, targeting supply lines and performing ambushes on the loyalist troops…"
She sighed again at the mention of that name…Shadow-Fox…
The same name that the young trainee, who saved her life 6 years ago, used. She had asked her Father to see if he could find out who he is, but he never even got a personal file on him, only a file that had been created using information based of rumours.
"Whatever the reason, we believe that soon the tyrannical regime of Assar Bin Al Bashir (1) will hopefully soon come to an end and cease the mass genocide that he had initiated…wait, hang on a moment…We are getting unconfirmed reports that Assar Bin Al Bashir has just been assassinated whilst holding a public speech at his parliament building in Nairobi…"
Hinata sighed, turning off the TV. She didn't want to hear about yet another assassination of a faction's leader.
She looked to the side, where a hand drawn picture hung from the wall, depicting a young boy in full body amour with a helmet that covered the entire head with glowing orange eyes. The top of the Helmet had two protrusions that looked like Fox ears. On his chest was a badge with a name on it: Shadow-Fox.
At the same time, in Nairobi
The young man ran through alleys and parkoured over buildings, trying to get to an extraction point without being spotted, which was fairly easy considering it was night time and his armour somewhat blended in with the shadows.
His team, or rather platoon, was already waiting for him at the extraction site together with a pair of Stealth VTOL carriers that their PMC's mother company both builds and uses.
"This is Shadow-Fox to Mother-Wolf." Shadow Fox spoke into the built-in mic.
"Mother-Wolf to Shadow-Fox, we read you." Came the reply, though the woman who answered sounded pissed off for some reason.
"Mother-Wolf, I am 2 mikes from extraction point Zulu." Shadow-Fox said.
"Make that 1 mike, you idiot…" Mother-Wolf really sounded pissed off. "And what the hell were you thinking, assassinating Al Bashir?"
"Mother-Wolf, I want to end this conflict as soon as possible. Without that asshole, many people will rally to the Republican side, and maybe this war can still end in a relatively peaceful manner." Shadow-Fox said, jumping across a street onto the next city block.
He sometimes enjoyed the benefits his Magical ability gave him.
"Or, someone worse could take his place and this Genocide would spread to each and every Bloody Corner of the African Continent!" Mother-Wolf growled.
"Chill out, will you!" Shadow-Fox said. Over the radio he heard the rest of his Platoon chuckle at his tone of voice towards Mother-Wolf.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHILL OUT WHEN YOU JUST SPONTANEOUSLY GO AND ADD UNAUTHORISED SECONDARY MISSIONS?" Shadow-Fox heard the roar even after muting the radio. "THIS IS A NEW FUCKING RECORD…6 FUCKING UNAUTHORISED SECONDARIES IN THE LAST HOUR ALONE…"
"Well…that is definitely going on my Resume." Shadow-Fox said, smiling beneath his helmet.
"Hey, Cap, what were your secondaries this time?" one of his men asked.
"Let's see…I destroyed a military Convoy, a supply camp, ambushed 2 patrols, prevented a mass execution and lastly sniped a tyrant." Shadow-Fox said.
"That…You…just get your ass to the extraction point…" Mother-Wolf said giving up on arguing with Shadow-Fox, partially because he is her Boss, but mainly because he never gave a shit on her opinion on secondary missions. "Overlord wants to speak with you."
"Roger that. Extraction Team, you may begin your approach, I am 20 seconds out. Shadow-Fox out." He said.
"And here we were thinking we could continue enjoying the scenery." One of his underlings joked, giving a round of laughter. Pretty soon two VTOL transports left the area, bearing the mark of a red snarling fox on its dark grey paint coat…the Mark of Red Spiral's branch company, Shadow Blade.
Timeskip
"Ok…you lost me at 'You are going to Highschool'!" Shadow-Fox said.
"That is right, Sochi." Uzumaki Namikaze Kushina, current CEO and Owner of Red Spiral said to her son, Naruto.
"But I already have a degree…why should I go back to school?" Naruto asked.
"Had you actually listened to me, you would know." Kushina said, grinning slightly…Naruto reminded her of herself when she was his age. She slid a file towards him. "Your mission isn't to remove her, but to protect her, discretely, understood?"
Naruto looked at the first page of the file, only to see it was the personal file on the heiress of one of the main supporters of the Konoha PMC.
"Why is Konoha sending this to us instead of having one of their own do this mission?" Naruto asked. "I mean…this is the heiress to one of their main supporting clans."
"That is probably because the youngest person they have capable of an infiltration/shadow-guardian is your father's old pupil, back when he was still a Konoha Operative." Kushina said.
Naruto immediately knew whom she was talking about. "Oh…you mean Captain-Lame-excuse-for-being-late?"
Meanwhile in Konoha HQ
A man with long white hair that pointed straight up sneezed.
Back to Naruto
Kushina giggled at the jab.
"Konoha is sending a team of younger operatives who just so happen to have applied at the same school as Subject Flower. They happen to be friends, so most likely they will guard her during Public events." Kushina said.
"So, in other words, I need to stalk her when she isn't in school?" Naruto asked, "What, should I end up finding out what her three sizes are as well?" He got a punch in the face that sent him into the wall behind him as an answer.
"So…when do I leave?" he asked from within the wall as though nothing happened.
Next Day, 1st High School
"Troubelsome…why do we have to go here again?" a lazy boy with black hair tied in a spiky ponytail asked.
"Come on, Shikamaru. You know that coming here will improve the public image of our clans as well as that of Konoha." His friend, a rather chunky brown-haired male named Choji said.
"That is right, so stop being such a lazy ass." A blond with spiky hair said.
"Temari…I thought you wanted to go to third High." Shikamaru said.
"And risk my boyfriend getting laid by some arrogant fling at this school? No way…remember what nearly happened in middle school?" Temari asked.
"Too troublesome to remember." Shikamaru said, yawning.
"You find everything troublesome, Shika-kun." Ino Yamanaka, Heiress to the Yamanaka Clan said.
"He wouldn't be Shikamaru if he weren't." Hinata Hyuuga, Heiress to the Hyuuga Clan, giggled. The others in their group giggled or chuckled in agreement.
Sakura Haruno, Heiress to a Civilian Company that supplies medicines to Konoha PMC, giggled, before she tried taking the hand of her long time crush, Uchiha Sasuke… who would never admit to liking her…if only she would learn to shut up.
Kiba Inuzuka…was an odd addition to the group as he was one of the three males not to get the first course badge, but he came close.
The other two were Shikamaru, who is only in the school because he is probably smarter than some of the teachers, given that he scored twice the maximum points in the written exam (On fear of his mother using the dreaded Frying pan if he didn't give his all). The other one was Choji, who got above average in the practical exam, but turned out to be rather book dumb…unless it was about food…
That being said, all three of them were no slouches as they are all Operatives in training for Konoha, as were the ones from the first course.
"But, brother…why are you in the second course?" the group stopped when they heard this. They turned to see a pair of freshmen like themselves, though the female was very beautiful and the only reason as to why Kiba didn't hit on her was because he sensed that the male was the highly protective type.
"Miyuki, Here, practical skills in magic are given more weight than paper test scores." The boy said. "I am lucky that they accepted me at First High School, even as a reserve."
"How can you be such a pushover?" she Miyuki demanded.
"Probably because he just wants to get a degree in Engineering, right, Tatsuya-san?" the siblings and the group from Konoha turned to look at a new arrival who had spiky gold-blonde hair, stood at around 5' 7", had sky blue eyes and had three whisker marks on each cheek.
"Something along those lines, Naruto-san." The now named Tatsuya said.
"It has been a while, Naruto-san." Miyuki said, bowing.
"Indeed it has, Miyuki-san. about 4 months if I am not mistaken." Naruto said.
"Give or take a week, yes." Tatsuya said, shaking Naruto's hand.
"Ok…who is this guy?" Kiba asked.
"No idea, but He. Is. Hot." Ino said, licking her lips. They then looked at his shoulder and saw that it had a flower on it.
Before she could go and flirt on the guy though, Miyuki entered the school, leaving Tatsuya to explore the school and Naruto…to go and find out in which class he was.
"Man…I have got to get myself some of that Man-meat." Ino muttered.
"Which one?" Sakura asked with a smirk.
"Well, the tall dark haired one, Tatsuya-kun, is easily a contener in looks against Sasuke here, but the Blonde, Naruto was it? Anyway, he has this air around him that I can't really explain." Ino said out loud.
"That is what you said about Sasuke back in Primary School." Sakura said. "And pretty much every other hot guy in school, at least until you dated and laid each and every one of them."
"Not each and every one…I haven't had a shot at Sasuke-kun here." Ino said. "Besides, I stopped stalking the guys because they were seriously under-sized and had no stamina whatsoever…they were out like a light after a simple bl…" a red Sakura and Hinata each clamped a hand over Ino's mouth.
"Too much detail, Ino-pig." Sakura hissed. Hinata nodded.
"Oh, alright…so Hinata…which one would you prefer?" Ino asked Hinata, who blushed and fainted moments later.
"This proves that she has never been in a relationship at least…" Shino said. "Why do you ask? Because she wouldn't be this embarrassed about dating anyone otherwise."
"You don't say, Shino." Kiba said. "Anyway, let's go and find out if the class list is out yet."
"Don't bother." They turned to see Naruto walking past them. "The lists are only revealed after the entrance ceremony." He walked past them, deciding to follow Tatsuyas idea of exploring the grounds.
Ino, being…well, Ino…decided to follow him and Naruto nearly face palmed at how bad she was at being stealthy…he could literally hear her breathing as she followed him.
Naruto decide to ignore her as best he could and soon encountered Tatsuya talking to a girl who was just introducing herself as the student president.
"President!" a new voice called out and Naruto saw a short light-brunette running towards Tatsuya and Mayumi. "Rehearsal's starting." She looked inbetween Tatsuya and Mayumi. "Are you in the middle of something?"
"No…Excuse me." Tatsuya said, walking past them, leaving the two girls looking uncertain as to why he responded like that.
"Don't worry about it too much." They turned to see a Blonde Male, who also towered over Mayumi, with whisker marks approaching them. "Tatsuya-san has a few social problems due to his past of being mistreated during his primary and middle school years."
"And you are…?" Mayumi asked.
"Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto said, bowing slightly. "I would like to chat, but you seem to have a rehearsal to go to, right?"
The shorter girl had a classic 'Oh Crap' face before dragging Mayumi away…literally.
"I think that this place is going to be fun after all." Naruto mused, before quickly turning around and delivering a finger flick to Ino's forehead. "And I am not even here for a day and I already have a hard-core stalker…Maybe I should have gone to another school."
Ino grinned at him. "Oh, I can guarantee that there aren't any beauties such as myself in the other schools."
"Sorry, but you don't fill most of the categories that form 'My type'." Naruto said, making Ino feel like she just shattered. "I prefer someone with more mass and size to their assets." Naruto had to hold back a snicker at the face she was making…sadly he didn't bring a camera with him…oh right, he had his phone.
"Hold that expression please for a moment, will you?" he asked, taking out his phone. Ino, realizing what he was planning, high tailed it out of there.
"Yup…this school is going to be fun after all." Naruto laughed, putting his phone away. He looked towards the group from Konoha, behind whom Ino was hiding.
His eyes fell on one of the females there…and had to supress a wolf whistle when he realized that one of them met most of if not all the physical criteria of his dream girl.
"Hey, any of you want a copy of the photo?" he called over.
Half of them raised their hands.
"Too bad, I don't have one." Naruto chuckled at the looks of disappointment on their faces.
Later after the Ceremony
Naruto had had to take deep breaths to calm himself during the ceremony when he saw the discrimination between first and second course student. He was also pretty damn close on beating the shit out of most first course students when they sneered at the so-called weeds for being inferior to them.
Now he was walking through the corridor, seeing groups of students…of their own courses. Not a single group of mixed students…unless you count Tatsuya and Miyuki, who met up with a girl with glasses and a redhead.
"Uhm…you are Uzumaki-san, right?" Naruto turned to see a girl with black wavy hair approach him, alongside a blonde and a ginger, both of the latter having straight hair.
"I am…and you are?" he responded. He saw that all three of them were first course students as well.
The three girls introduced themselves, before Naruto left them, cold shoulder style.
"'Don't get involved with those Weeds…' she says…" they were lucky that Naruto didn't kick their ass through the window then and there.
"Everything alright, Naruto?" Tatsuya asked, seeing Naruto march past them.
"'Everything alright?'" Naruto parroted, giving him a blank look.
Tatsuya sighed, before asking out loud enough that those nearby could hear, "Did someone use discriminatory remarks in front of you?"
Mizuki and Erika looked Naruto in surprise.
"Having been discriminated before…well, it doesn't sit right with me." Naruto said. "They are lucky that I am not aloud to kick their asses."
Unknown to them…or rather, unknown to Mizuki and Erica…a bunch the group from Konoha was silently agreeing with Naruto…except for one of them…
(1): Please don't judge me…if I spelled the name wrong, bite me…
…
AND DONE!
Please R&R.
