As the school bell buzzed, all of the students of the Academy swarmed outside, the weekend finally here.
"So, what's it like in America Kohaku?" Hiroshi asked and he, Naruto, and Kohaku exited the Academy.
"Well, it's a pretty big place, a lot of tourist attractions and tons of people," Kohaku answered between taking bites of a red delicious apple. "But its pretty lame compared to this place, I mean who in America can say they go to a school of magic? It's like something out of a Harry Potter novel."
"Who is Harry Potter?" Naruto questioned as he slurped on the broth from his instant cup of ramen.
"He's a character from the Harry Potter series, by J.K Rowling?" Kohaku answered. "Ah, never mind. So what's going on for the weekend?"
"Well, Fujiko asked me to study with her tonight," Naruto replied, both Kohaku and Hiroshi flashing him a grin. "No, not like that you idiot's! I need some help in mana control, Fujiko offered to give me a hand."
"Sure Naruto, don't forget to bring some candle's to set the mood," Hiroshi teased, which earned him a punch in the chest from Naruto.
"Wait, I thought you were the Demon King?" Kohaku asked Naruto. "Demon Kings are notorious for having massive amounts of mana, with perfect control over it. That's what makes them so fearsome."
"Again, I'm not the Demon King," Naruto reminded the new kid. "They just said that when that stupid bird told me my future occupation. That should be proof enough; I can't control my mana for anything!"
"Well, you aren't an adult yet, so it could just take some time to master it," Kohaku responded, Naruto moaning as he did.
"Look, I'd love to continue this conversation, but I've got to go meet up with Fujiko," Naruto stated as he advanced ahead of Kohaku and Hiroshi, giving them a wave. "See you guy's a little later, alright?"
"Yeah, see you later Naruto!" Kohaku exclaimed with a blatantly fake smile pasted on his face. "Hey Hiroshi, can I ask you a question?"
"It's so good of you to come study with me, My King-cough, I mean Naruto," Fujiko gushed as she guided Naruto into her dorm room. "I'll be glad to help you with your mana control. But first, we need to talk about something important."
"And what's that Fujiko?" Naruto asked, making himself comfortable on Fujiko's small love seat.
"Naruto, it's about that new kid Kohaku, I don't trust him," Fujiko answered, sitting down next to Naruto. "I think he has evil intention's, something about him is just off…" Fujiko was interrupted by a bat-like creature flying into her room through the open window, the creature barring its fang's as it looked at Fujiko. Fujiko reached for her book of black spells, but it was knocked from her reach by the bat creature. The creature then slapped Fujiko across the face, causing her to be pressed up against the wall from the sheer force. Fujiko took a deep breath as she ducked from the bat creature's claw's, which she narrowly avoided by ducking at the exact moment the bat creature swung its hand. She threw a vase that lay next to her at its chest; the bat demon using one of its wings's to protect itself. It then let out a sonic wail, causing Fujiko to cover her ears. The sound was so dense though, this was not able to block out the sound. It rung through Fujiko's ear's, causing her to be deafened. As it raised its hand to strike down Fujiko for good this time, the hand it raised up was pulled out the air, then thrusted behind its back. The bat creature let out a wail as a Rasengan was pressed into its back, causing it to be knocked into the wall above Fujiko. Fujiko shook her head, trying to get the sound out of her mind; her ear's still recovering from the attack.
"Naruto, I won't be able to hear you for the moment, so don't ask me anything yet," Fujiko shouted, unknown to her how loud she was speaking. "This is a demon; don't let it get into contact with your mana!"
"Don't worry Fujiko, I'll finish this battle without any mana needing to be used," Naruto responded mostly to himself as he made the hand sign's for the Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu) As the bat creature recovered from the Rasengan attack, it barred it's fang's at the incoming Naruto, who punched it in the chest as he and his clone's homed in on the creature. The creature gave a small shriek as it swung wildly at Naruto and his clones, but the real Naruto had allowed himself to be camoflauged by his incoming clones, around 30 in total. He connected hands with one of his clones, the clone holding a Rasengan in its palm. Naruto threw the clone at the bat creature, which was occupied with the other clone's that surrounded its side's. The clone Naruto hit it right in its chest, causing the bat creature to lose its breath. As the clone's dispersed, the real Naruto was seeing, two clones are by his side. The bat creature squeaked in pain as it looked up at Naruto, its eye's glowing red. Naruto smirked as his eyes went from the clear blue they were to the eyes of the Sage, Naruto holding up a True Wind Style: Rasen-Shuriken. The bat creature advanced to attack, Naruto throwing the Rasen-Shuriken at the incoming assailant, which caused it to be flung out the window. Naruto and his clone's watched as the Rasen-Shuriken carried the creature toward the dying sun, and then exploded in a glorious blue light.
"Pretty good fireworks, right guy's?" Naruto asked his clones, who grinned in response. Naruto made the clone's disappear as he rushed to Fujiko's side, which was beginning to be able to hear again.
"Naruto, that was a black demon creature, summoned by using dark magic," Fujiko said as she stood up, dusting off her clothes. "Someone is trying to kill me, and I have an idea who it is. I'm the only person on this campus that can sense him, so he deemed me a threat. Naruto…"
"So that didn't do the trick, did it?" a voice asked as a masked individual floated outside Fujiko's window, looking down inside at Fujiko and Naruto. "I expected for that to at least give you a challenge, but you're stronger than expected… Demon King."
"So, you sent that thing after me then?" Naruto roared as the individual laughed, flying into the room.
"No, our conceited friend here was actually correct on her theory, but incorrect on one thing," the individual stated as he stood before Naruto and Fujiko. "I was sending that creature to attack Ms. Etou, but just so I could see some of your untamed power, Demon King. I wanted to see if you have what you care claimed to have, this vast, almost unlimited power."
"And what would you concern yourself with my power?" Naruto asked, giving the person an angry glance.
"Your power? No, it is not "your power" that is why I am concerning myself with it," the man responded, a reddish black aura surrounding his body. "It is my father's power, the all mighty Demon King that rained this world before he was sealed away by the Hero who slayed him. He would never die, his power made sure of that. He was defeated, and then sealed away by the previous reigning Hero. The only way they could guarantee he would never return. But they never guessed that he would have a son, now did they?"
"Wait… you're the son of the previous Demon King?" Fujiko asked, almost in complete shock. "How is that possible?"
"I was conceived in the bowel of Hell, deep in the belly of a cursed woman who was bestowed the gift of baring the all mighty Demon King's son," the man answered. "My father shall return to rain blood upon this land, to bring Hell back to Earth, where it shall remain!"
"I'd never let you do such a thing, as long as I'm around!" Naruto roared as he went into Sage Mode, taking off at the individual. The man laughed as he backhanded the incoming shinobi, causing him to be slammed up against a wall. Naruto growled as he pulled himself up, gathering a Vermillion Rasengan in his right hand. He let out a small battle cry as he ran at the individual, who allowed Naruto to attack. Naruto pressed the Rasengan into the man's chest, but it did not damage him.
"Do you think you can harm me with your shinobi techniques?" the man asked as he gathered a ball of red mana, holding it in Naruto's face. Naruto looked back with widened eyes as the foe unleashed the ball, covering Naruto in a red light. As the red light enveloped Naruto's body, a burning sensation covered the shinobi body from head to toe.
"Show me your power Demon King, or you'll die," the man stated as Naruto looked up at him, still being burned by the ball of mana.
"I-I don't care what you do to me, I won't show you a damn thing!" Naruto shouted as he tried to pull himself toward the man. "Do what you want to me, I don't care!"
"You are the type that wouldn't, aren't you?" the man responded as he stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I see what will have to be done." He snapped his fingers, Naruto's body now free from the attack.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Fujiko asked as the man jumped from the window, looking back at her with a smug grin.
"Until next time mademoiselle," he responded as he gave her a small salute, free falling from the window.
