After many hours of walking, the duo arrived on the human territory. It was the road that connected the cities and towns; this was not just for ease of travel but the sign for monsters to avoid this zone as it will invite the wrath of the humans.

The humans respected the territory of the monsters as they didn't invade with an army while the monsters respected the covenant by not attacking anyone that was on the road, on the other hands cities and towns were free game.

Cities and Towns had protection while the road couldn't be protected throughout with lack of personnel; no matter how many they had it would be impossible while creating a barrier throughout would also be impossible as the energy requirement would be too much.

So the road was one of the safest places but even then many humans and tamers could got killed and devoured as the beasts were cunning and tricky.

They tricked humans with cuteness, sympathy, weakness or anger then led them to eternal slumber while tamers also fell for these tricks sometimes, they also let their arrogance take over that led to dire situations.

"What are they doing?" Naruto asked as he exited the woods and stepped on the large walkway beside the road as vehicles zoom by too fast for most people to see

"They are in the midst of battle to increase their experience and achieve battle points." Rafflesi replied as she stood beside him wearing normal red dress with white clothe covering her eyes as she wasn't experienced enough like Naruto in controlling her power

It wasn't a rare case as tamers usually fought each other regularly to increase their experience and improve their skills.

Every trainer received an ID, which was tied to their souls and rejecting too many times would be bad in many places as it would give you an appropriate title according to your deeds.

Loser

The defeated

Coward

Loser of 100 battles

Ratata amongst Human

The system was very harsh on cowards that denied battles and tried to fair as it could be; obviously when people in power were involved then things became very grey or dark.

There were regulations and no one was allowed to kill each other or their monsters. Each battle gave away appropriate battle points that could be exchanged for items or even monsters or skills provided to the public by the Tamer association or the Hunters association.

Tamer association was the largest organization across the globe with extensive information on monsters and gave out tasks to tamers once they registered. They had hand in research and production of weapons, armors and many other things.

It had the highest number of members and took care of many problems across the region but any member was denied from taking part in human conflicts.

The Hunters association on the other hand was for the elites as they ventured in to the darkest places of each region and were closely tied to the government of their respective regions.

They were provided funding and many other resources for their services such as finding relics or fighting against top class monsters. The royal guards were also mostly chosen from the Hunters so most people desired to become part of this association.

"Battle points?" Naruto asked as he saw two kids covered in a thin barrier let their partners fight; the kids were only using one.

"BP, are points received from each battle won and can be exchanged for rewards."

"I see" Naruto muttered with a smile, he found the system interesting and would have loved to be part of it as a child

The Ponyta versus Growlithe was intense as the beasts had capabilities that surprised him. The team work was very good and the tamers were very focused on the battle, commanding them strategically.

"For beasts at Rank 2, Ponyta and Growlithe are excellent choices that shine even at early stages. Growlithe has exceptional senses and speed with power while Ponyta has speed and heavy attacks from its hooves that are harder than diamond by many degrees." Rafflesi explained as Naruto sat down on a seat of flowers that appeared beside him so he agreed to her request as she wanted to be of use

His acceptance of her actions and approval of her words made Rafflesi giddy inside, she was experiencing new emotions and it made her life fill up with colors.

"Consider me impressed but why are they not using more than one. Do they have only one?"

"They must have at least three by now and can summon two at the same time but not everyone is good enough to command two monsters at the same time. It's hard to keep control of them and the battle could become a mess while one is easier to focus on."

"I thought as much. It seems the battle is over, let's greet the winner." Naruto stood up as the Growlithe took down Ponyta and the barrier was broken for the other kid


"Good show, I was hoping for a taste if you wouldn't mind." Naruto said as he looked at the kid with brown hair and blue shirt with a necklace

The other kid left as his Ponyta was injured heavily and needed healing from the Monster Center while Blue looked at Naruto with analyzing gaze.

He had been trained by elites from childhood so his understanding was very high and from one look, Blue could tell that he was seeing a master.

Knowing that made Blue smile as he wished to see how much he had improved and learn some new tricks from a new master.

"I wouldn't mind, Lord.."

"Just call me Naruto. What about you? You are good enough to be remembered."

"Blue Oak, tamer and research in training"

"Good, then show me what you got and take out both of your monsters since I am giving you time." Naruto said in a friendly tone and jumped back to take distance for the battle

Blue would have felt insulted but these words came from a higher ranker as he was still some distance form Rank 3 or else he would have pushed himself and utilized three of them at the same time.

'One step and time can't be restless like that idiot.' Blue thought about Red and sent out Charmeleon and Scyther

'Similar to Scizor' Naruto thought as he stood ready for the attacks but nothing came

"Sir, where is your monster?" Blue asked in confusion, he was ready to get introduced to something new but got nothing

"Can I not fight with my fists?"

Blue was quiet as he heard those words, he knew masters of that level were stronger than his monsters but no one fought like that and would at least throw a temporary monster from their balls.

"Sir, I won't mind if you use a monster ball."

Naruto looked at Blue and knew, they were just part of a different world so needed to do something and still get some satisfaction.

"Fine" Naruto muttered as he transformed into Metal Life Kuwagamon, it was one of the servants of Rask that he had seen

On the other hand, Rafflesi took on his shape so that Blue wouldn't realize anything as Naruto was unable to make clones or use bug jutsu.

MetallifeKuwagamon was a humanoid Monster that has a gold, armor-like exoskeleton with purple markings and copper cables underneath it. It has a white face with black sclera and yellow irises while its helmet has two mandible-like horns with two small antennas between them. Its arms each consist of two copper cables branded together. It has robotic hands that each have five fingers with gun points equipped to the fingertips and a blue jewel in its palm and are capable of splitting between middle finger and ring finger so that its arms can unbraid. It has blue jewels in the sides of its thighs and the patella of its knees. Its feet are shaped like beetles with tiny legs at the heels and mandible-like horns on the front.

Blue was shocked at the sight of this new monster, he had never seen it before in any records and it burned his research and trainer spirit to higher heights.

"Sir, what is this monster called?"

"If you can get a hit in then I will give you the name." Rafflesi teased as she followed Naruto's command

"Come at me with caution because I am unlike what you have faced before." Naruto muttered in a different tone as he stood without a stance, ready for the attack and this time they came at him

Blue was a cold and calculating type of tamer as such none of his monsters had actual names and he called them by their species.

Charmeleon started the offence with a fire ball that did nothing and was followed with three more this time at the same spot while Scyther moved with agility increasing its speed and slashed at Naruto's limbs.

Naruto understood what he wanted to do and was satisfied with his actions as he easily dodged the attacks. Naruto grabbed Scyther by the neck and threw him in the fire balls, causing him extreme pain as it was one of its weaknesses.

Blue didn't worry as he could tell that his partner could fight, it was just minor burn damage and he focused on how Naruto moved as it was a gift.

Charmeleon released smog from its mouth while Scyther leered at Naruto, reducing his stats but it was cancelled because of the large difference in power and the poison of this level was useless to him.

Naruto found his tactics sound, there wasn't much he could teach in this situation except how to move and connect their movement with their actions flawlessly.

Even though Blue and his partner could follow his movements, they felt confused from where he would attack.

He spun around them and got close instantly, Charmeleon attacked with his tail but Naruto had lowered himself to the ground and followed it with a kick to his face.

Scyther slashed down on him from above but Naruto hit the arm at the right section with enough force to crack it while following it with a kick from above as it was still standing.

Both monsters were knocked out as the hits were placed in the right position with enough force.

Blue didn't make a fuss and bowed, "Thank you for the teaching, Master Naruto."

"I was impressed with your tactics but you need to show some love to your partners so that they can follow you to the end. I hope to see you in the future and fight seriously." Rafflesi said as she started moving along with Naruto, leaving Blue to digest what he had learned


"Master, I enjoyed this play. Are we going to do this again?" Rafflesi smiled as she felt giddy at the fact she had Naruto's form

"Naruto, not master. Most likely, though I am starting to get attracted to the idea of adopting some monsters." Naruto chuckled at her words and said absentmindedly as he watched the woods, turning back to their real forms before anyone else arrived
