Hey, I am back.
So last time the 9 Schools Turnament Arc ended and Naruto and Hinata had their long awaited Date. I sincerely hope that all of you enjoyed the pranks Naruto pulled on the various stalker groups and his mother.
…and his getting even with Hinata…
Anyway, this will be the last Arc in this Story and will cover the last 4 Episodes of the Anime. I Hope that you Guys will enjoy the last few chapter. I will try to add another 2 chapters after this, maybe a third to remove the cliffhanger since I don't plan to make a Sequel.

On with the Story…
Chapter 11, This means War: Konoha vs. Prank Legend
It's been a week since Naruto and Hinata had their Date…and the people who stalked the pair were STILL trying to get the colour out of their hair.
All of them except for Shikamaru who couldn't give a damn since it is too 'troublesome' to wash his hair all the time. And for some reason, his hair was the only one to return to its normal colour…well, his and Temari's.
The rest were using Illusion Magic to mask their hair colour and whilst some like Shino, Chouji, Ino and Sakura admitted that they were mainly to blame for having stalked Naruto and Hinata in the first place, the others were swearing Vengeance under their breaths with Sakura and Ino joining in because their hair had been messed with.
Thus Kiba, Sasuke, Ino and Sakura declared War on Naruto…
Naruto dispelled their Illusion Magic.
…and immediately regretted jumping the Gun.
Unfortunately for Naruto, they had reinforcements…AKA. Uzumaki Naruto Fan Club members who had suffered the same fate as the Konoha members.
Only they aimed their crosshairs at Hinata.
Their first 'battle' took place during P.E. Lesson, where they were allowed to Spar against each other. Well, Hinata just Bitch-Slapped each of them once and they had had enough. Naruto swore he saw Hinata suppress a yawn after a dozen or so slaps were.
And Kushina was not much better as she was still unable to get her monitor back and was going all 'Red Hot Habanero' on her poor technical staff…until they just replaced her Monitor, which solved the Problem, until Kushina started complaining that the new monitor didn't feel like it belonged in her office.
The War entered a phase of Stalemate, with the 'aggressors' not wanting to continue their assault yet, and Hinata and Naruto both taking a page out of the Nara Handbook and finding to too 'Troublesome' to strike back.
This after a week of near constant attempts of Naruto's fanclub and the Konoha members trying to exact Revenge on them.
"This shit is getting old." Naruto grumbled as he sat at his computer in the Public Morals Committee Office, finishing his homework for the day. Next to him Hinata was doing the same.
"Language." Mari chided him, making Naruto suppress the urge to flip her a finger.
Truth be told, the attempts by Sasuke and the others had been going on his nerves. Hinata wasn't much better off, but she at least knew not to swear.
"So, Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan…how is the 'War' going?" Mari asked with a smirk.
"Those Fangirls keep on trying to get in between the two of us." Hinata answered.
"And Sasuke-teme is trying to cast an Illusion Spell on me that makes me look like a Gay Bodybuilder." Naruto answered. "The Prick has some nerve to try that old prank…if he isn't careful, I'll use an Illusion on him that will be comparatively final Boss level compared to the crap I pulled off during the Monolith Code."
Mari quirked an Eyebrow at that.
"And what will that Illusion contain?" she asked.
"Not saying." Naruto said. "However, I won't be using it on him in School because it is classified as an A-rank spell."
Mari's eyes widened at that.
Before they could say anything more the door opened, and Tatsuya entered.
"Naruto, can we talk?" he asked. Naruto's eyes shot up, but he nodded.
"See you later, Hime." Naruto said, giving Hinata a quick kiss on the cheek, earning him a Blush from the Bluenette as well as a smirk from Mari.
Naruto was just about to close the Door when he and Tatsuya heard Mari begin to press Hinata on the Juicy details, starting off with, "How good of a Kisser is he?"
"You going to prank her?" Tatsuya asked, curious.
"Nah." Naruto answered. "I owe her this as she was caught in the Crossfire of one of my Pranks a few months ago." He closed the Door silently before walking after Tatsuya.
A few minutes later
"What do you need?" Naruto asked as he joined Tatsuya on the Roof.
"Someone tried to Hack my Computer last night." He answered. "Whoever did it was good. They disconnected as soon as I started counterhacking. I fear that many of the recent occurrences are connected." He looked out across the Courtyard below them. "Do you think you can get your Mother to deploy a Platoon or two of Operatives during the upcoming Thesis Competition?"
"I don't know how many Operatives RS has available at the current moment," Naruto sighed as he leaned against the railing next to his Friend. "but I do know that about a third of my Blades are available, around 40 Operatives."
"I see." Tatsuya sighed. For a moment the two remained quiet.
"I'll see what I can do." Naruto said before leaving.
That Afternoon
Naruto, after arriving at his Residence, immediately activated several safety measures before calling Shadow Blade HQ.
"Welcome to Ramen Japan. How can I help you?" a Female Voice answered.
"Shadow Fox, Access: Alpha 9-1-8 Zulu 7 Badass." Naruto said. "I need a secure line to Rapping Brawler."
"One Moment please. Your Request will be a logged shortly." With that the Line went dead and Naruto settled down to wait for Rapping Brawler's return call…he must be out getting inspiration for his Rapping Music…
Eventually, Naruto's Phone Rang.
"Yo, Nine-Oh." B greeted him. Naruto shook his head. Nine-Oh, a different way of saying 9-0. Why? Because B has so far thrashed Naruto 9 times in literally ALL Video Games they played together…
"Sup, B." Naruto answered. "Sorry, but this isn't a call of convenience. I need the Blades to mobilize for the upcoming Thesis Competition." He quickly told one of his Lieutenants what he had learnt from Tatsuya.
"Yo, don't worry. I'll have the others be sorry, their asses will be on the lorry." B rapped, making Naruto shake his head. B cared less about Military discipline than he did about table manners when eating Ramen.
"Thanks B." Naruto said. "Chat soon, Fool ya Fool."
"That be my line, bro."
The next Call Naruto made was to his Mother…
…it went Ok…
Next Day
Naruto walked into School deep in thought when he received a Notification by Mari to have all members of the School's PMC (Public Morals Committee, Fust FYI) assemble for a meeting.
"We will be going onto High Alert for the next few weeks, until after the Thesis Cometition." Mari informed them, before asking her planned Replacement, Kanon, to step forward.
"Most of you will be assigned to Patrol the School Grounds in pairs, the rest will be assigned as a guard to members of the Thesis Competition Committee." Kanon said. "Yes Uzumaki?"
"Not to sound negative or anything, but we lack the manpower to cover all that." Naruto said.
Murmurs spread through the Room as the others realized that he had a point.
"Do you have a Suggestion to alleviate this?" Mari asked, crossing her arms.
"Have Volunteers pair up with one of those PMC people designated to Patrol Duty. That way we can cover the required ground all the time whilst having one or two people in reserve." Naruto said.
The others nodded, before Kanon spoke up.
"We have actually taken notice of this Problem already and our solution had been to have Pairs of Volunteers…" here Naruto interrupted her.
"A sound plan in itself…however what is to stop the Volunteers from straying from their locations?" Naruto asked.
Mari and Kanon nodded, conceding his point.
And Kanon was already making plans on having Naruto become her Successor next year.
Later
Hinata was bored out of her mind.
Being Mari's secretary, she was stationed in the Office doing Paperwork alongside Kanon and Mari herself.
And it has been a while since she had any contact with her Friends.
Upon hearing that the PMC was asking for Volunteers to help with Security, all of them had signed up with Shikamaru being dragged by the Ear by Temari into joining.
They had very little free time between Patrols, Homework and Lessons.
How Naruto managed to fit in another Date with Hinata was a mystery to her.
"Hinata. We are done with the day." She looked at Mari and Kanon, who were busy stacking their Papers. "You should take the day off as well."
"Appreciated." Hinata said, bowing her head slightly.
Walking around, she eventually found Naruto watching over the First Phase of the Thesis Devices. The Person he was assigned to was none other than Tatsuya, and this only because of Rules and Regulations.
Anyway, Naruto seemed to be deep in thought about something as Hinata approached, only to be stopped by one of the Volunteers, who let her pass after she showed her PMC band.
"Everything alright?" she asked Naruto after greeting him.
"Got a lot to do, very little time to do it." Naruto answered her with a small smile. "Just running through several Scenarios in my head right now."
Hinata nodded. After finding out about Naruto's secret Identity, she was introduced to the World of Red Spiral and Shadow Blade by none other than Naruto's Mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
She gave a small, almost unnoticeable shudder remembering the long To-Do Lists that need to be filled in for every Major Operation.
Makes what needs to be done in Konoha appear like Primary School when Compared.
The pair chatted for a bit until a small disturbance occurred which got their attention, but they soon learned that Kanon had it under control.
Timeskip
Busses came and left the Yokohama Convention Centre as Students and High Ranking Officials arrived to witness the Annual Scientific Event.
But what really drew attention were the Military Convoys of Red Spiral Armoured Troop Transports and APCs arriving and dropping off Red Spiral Troops, armed to the teeth and happily scaring the Crap out of any unsuspecting Pupil who ventured too close…or made a discriminatory remark.
And then there were a pair of Students from 1st and 3rd High who were happily chatting away with them.
Gaara, being a known Shadow Blade Operative, was going over the Security Detail with several of the Officers.
The other was Naruto who according to the Rumours was already sworn into Red Spiral but was still a member of Konoha until the end of the year. And he was getting an earful from a Red Haired Female Officer about something…she had cast a Privacy Spell before roaring at him.
Hinata was hiding her giggling at the scene of her Boyfriend getting his head chewed off. Said Boyfriend however was consciously feeling the Blood drain from his face as his Mother reprimanded him for putting that Virus on her Computer, even if she deserved it in his mind…
(A/N: The Pre-Speech part and Suzune's Speech during the Thesis Competition is the same as in Canon…not really planning on writing all of that down…I'll just be skipping to After the speech…)
After 1st High's Thesis Team completed their Performance there was a loud round of applause whilst some of the Visitors were planning on buying the Patent for this particular Reactor, even if it isn't completed yet…a bunch of High Schoolers had after all just reached a point that was way further ahead of what their own Engineers and Scientists were at.
Suddenly explosions were heard and the Doors were blown off their Hinges. Armed, khaki clad men ran into the room, only to be gunned down by Naruto who had a pissed off look on his face.
Those assailants who entered the room after the first group looked at him confused.
"They made me spill my cup of Instant Ramen." Naruto said, before pulling the trigger again.
"Gaara!" he then shouted, getting his friends attention. "Have Platoons 3 and 4 sweep the Building for other intruders. Platoons 1 and 2 are to secure the immediate vicinity and prepare to exfil the Students here."
"On it." Gaara said, before tearing off his School Uniform, revealing his Combat Armour underneath.
"Commander Uzumaki." Naruto turned to the Redhead who had verbally torn him a new one earlier. "Have your People set up a Perimeter around the Building or have them go all Guerrilla on the Invaders, just make sure that nothing enters this building."
"OK…just whom are you bossing around here, young man?" Kushina asked, hand on her hip whilst the other was slowly reaching up over her shoulder to grab her M-96 Mattock Rifle.
Once again all eyes were on him as everyone, minus 4 students and all the Red Spiral and Shadow Blade elements, wandered what was going on.
"Someone who has gotten rusty after sitting on her ass for so long." Naruto countered. "Now I need to get my Armour…"
"Try this." Kushina said, giving him a large mechanical Box. "The Latest Model. Still needs to be Field tested though…and don't think you are being let off easy. You and I are still going to have a talk later."
"Yeah, yeah…whatever." Naruto said as he grabbed the two bars and twisted.
(Think Iron Man's suitcase Armour assembly…)
Everyone looked shocked. None more so than the Konoha Group from 1st High.
"Just who is he?" Sasuke asked with an awed tone.
"You are about to find out." Hinata said with a small smile.
Before anyone could respond, a figure materialized next to Naruto.
"Jo, Nine-Oh. You be needin this." He rapped, handing Naruto a M-99-C Harrier (1) as well as an M-6 Carnifex.
"Appreciated." Naruto turned his head. "Gaara. Take command here." He shouted, before looking at the crowd. "What? Do I have something on my face?" he tapped a button on his neck and his Helmet formed around his head in the Iconic shape that is Unique to his Identity.
A Black Helmet with glowing orange Eyes and a Pair of Protrusions that looked like Fox Ears on the top of his Helmet.
"If you don't stop staring, I'll use you as Target Practice later." He added, the Voice synthesiser making it impossible to tell if he was joking or not.
All eyes however turned towards 1st High, who in turn were all looking at Hinata, who merely looked back at them.
"What?" she asked innocently. "Don't tell me you didn't figure it out as well?"
Silence was all that greeted her Questions.
(1): Ok…I know that the Mass Effect Die Hard Fans out there are going to be on my case here, but In Chapter 3 I had given Naruto, as Shadow Fox, the Harrier with the M-99-C Designation when it should have been M-96-C. For those of you who don't know, the 'C' stands for 'Cerberus'. It isn't a Model Variant code…
…
AND DONE!
I know that this is a short chapter and all, but honestly, I found it hard to write more after this long of a break.
Anyway, I will be deviating from the Mahouka Canon Storyline a little next chapter…oh wait…I already have started with that…
I hope that you guys liked the small but obvious Easter Egg there.
Please R&R.
