And we begin

Uzumaki Naruto; genin and most unpredictable ninja of Konoha, Jinchuuriki of Kyuubi no Kitsune and son of the yondaime Hokage and the Heir of the Uzumaki clan, you'd think he'd have a good life in his home based of his heritage.

Sadly, this was not the life of the boy, since he was born people called for his death based off the fact he held something he ha no control over. Throughout his life he suffered at the hands of the villagers, who had lost their loved ones when the Kyuubi attacked, seeing him as a symbol that the beast still lived while they were left with an empty feeling in their hearts.

The Sandaime Hokage did what he could to help Naruto, but only did the bear minimum as Naruto was laboured by the villagers physically and mentally, much more than any child should have. As a result, Naruto quickly learned to survive by acting since if you look beaten a broken people hit you less. In a way it was sad that a boy was forced to grow up when he was still but a child, but in the ninja world that they lived in it may have happened across the lands. Naruto himself developed a mask for himself and a habit of hiding his strength from others so as to protect himself.

His mask also helped with his acting that improved over time and got even better when he eventually joined the academy; where Naruto was the smartest ninja there, but hid all talent as he knew all his work would be sabotaged. It was in the forest of death that he found a place that was a small haven, as animals did not seek to hurt him and also a place that he could train himself to further improve himself in his skills. He learned what he could from the library when he snuck in, but also from observation of other students taught by the teachers alongside ninja around the village.

As his life went on he kept up the act since he felt at any time he could be betrayed by the people he wished to protect. And at one point left so he could train with Jiraiya, who he had met during the Chunin exams. With his mask he had gone with Jiraiya so that he could 'get stronger to bring back Sasuke'. In truth he didn't care for the Uchiha but had made a promise to Mikoto, Sasuke's mother who was one of the few to look after him on occasion in his life. The promise was to look out for Sasuke, but also if that he ever strayed from a path of light to stop him from hurting more people. The night after he promised was the Uchiha massacre and Naruto swore he would keep his promise and Naruto abandoning the village was the sign that Sasuke had to die.

Jiraiya was shocked when Naruto had revealed the truth of his skills and saw that the reports from his old sensei, and the reality was a very different thing, and also the shock that he himself had believed the rumours surrounding him that he was the dead last just as he was. He was ashamed of himself seeing how it had been his responsibility to look after Naruto, as it was his duty as his godfather after being named by his father and mother.

Eventually after they had returned after almost three years, Naruto began revealing his intelligence and talent, but people still saw his as a demon in the village not that he really cared at that point. He would only protect them if the village was in danger, anything else was fair gain since they would not bat an eyelid for his condition. It was only after defeating the madman known as Pain, who was a former student of his then dead sensei Jiraiya, that the village began seeing him differently.

When Naruto was training to control his Bijuu chakra he had met with his mother but also another ancestor, the Sage of the six paths. It became apparent that history was wrong that the Senju were the family who were the ancestors of the younger son of the Sage and the physical power of the man. Instead, it was from his mother's clan the Uzumaki who had bodies made to contain huge amounts of power something that was feared alongside their seals which was why their village was targeted so long ago. Kushina after viewing her son's life held him to her, apologising for not taking the beast back inside her and ending the cycle of the jinchuuriki. Naruto merely held her and told her that it was inevitable that he became the next container of the fox, if not then he would be unable to end the cycle of hate in the world and give himself some peace.

The sage hearing him told Naruto the truth of the nine beasts and how they were once one being that when he sealed inside himself made him a god of the world, something he admitted never wanting, and he admitted that he was blind to humans since he had believed that humanity would use the power of chakra for better reasons than war. Both helped him gain control over the fox's chakra but when he did he gave it back seeing how taking the chakra would not help. Instead he offered the fox a deal, that if they worked together they could stop the man who had controlled him in the past and no longer be seen as a weapon, but as a being that lived and breathed like many things did in the world.

Kushina had been awed by this but when she saw the fox agree she knew that perhaps the fact she had restrained the beast for so long was a bad idea. The fox who revealed his true name to Naruto as Kurama agreed seeing how Naruto was something that had perplexed him in how he acted in this world of fools.

When Naruto had joined the war against Tobi and Kabuto was shocked to see the bodies of those long since passed used to fight. Using the skills he had trained with and hidden for so long under the true kyuubi cloak, the numerous odds didn't matter as he literally became a one man army flashing through the zombie army and using the memories given to him by the sage set the zombies free with a control over life, something he both was glad to have and hated, due to the fact holding the powers was something no man should have even with the best intentions.

Tobi had tried sealing Naruto after he had stopped his army and killed Kabuto, but didn't realize that Naruto wanted this. Knowing what needed to be done to get rid of the beasts under the guidance of Kurama, allowed himself to be captured so that when the sealing began use the seal he made to absorb all the beasts under a Ten Trigram absorption seal which bonded the beasts back together and with a fusion seal overlapping made Naruto the new ten tailed beast, having the form of a wolf instead of the mad beast like before.

With his new strength Naruto ended Tobi and everything about him body and soul alike, but seeing what he had become knew what he had to do to ensure no one would use his powers for the wrong reasons. Once more activating his control over life, he constructed a tree to from around him to take in his power and give life back to the world, scared by the war. To do so, took so much power and as such his once spiky blond locks turned silver white and grew long like his mother's had been.

He sealed himself away, only regretting never taking the time to find someone in his short life, he may have considered Hinata, who had confessed seeing how she was one who was always honest with him. Never the less Naruto felt himself begin to drift into a sleep that he didn't know when he would wake from.

As of all his friends looked at the tree sadly, as Hinata had told them that Naruto was the centre of it, and that the tree was protecting them. She cried heavily at the fact that she would never be with him, as did many who hearts had been touched by Naruto. The ninja who knew him best prayed for the little ninja who had saved them and the world, and hoped that when he returned to the world would have a better life. None of them truly knew the truth about Uzumaki Naruto and who he really was under the mask that he had used all those years ago.

XMany Millennia LaterX

"Where am I?" said a voice in the dark void that they were in.

"I feel tired even though I slept…have to get up." The voice came again feeling weak and stiff as it tried to move its body's limbs. The voice looked at his surroundings and couldn't see anything but felt the roots of a tree so he asked them to move out his way, which they did as he crawled toward a light he could see.

A hand reached outside the tree and the voice trapped pulled himself out of his 'bed' still feeling tired, as he got to the ground he felt something in his mouth that he had to do. He craned his back as he let out a wolf cry that echoed over the place he was in before collapsing to the floor.

A few minutes later, a bespectacled man came to the tree feeling something odd only to find an unconscious boy that looked about the same age as some the girls he taught age, maybe a year older. He noticed that he wore robes that looked tattered and damaged. He picked him up seeing his body looked as bad as his clothes and made his way to the nurse's office in the school.

When he dropped him off in one of the beds he found the headmaster waiting for him. "What do we have here Takamichi? I see you found the source of that strange energy, Evangeline contacted me saying that something felt odd about the seal." said an old man with a beard and extremely long eye brows with intrigue looking down upon the white haired boy, that Takamichi had laid upon the bed.

"Yes headmaster, but it surprised me that it's just a boy, albeit one with a very peculiar hair colour. Do you know something about this Dean?" the man known as Takamichi asked the aged principal of Mahora

"Perhaps, show me the back of his clothes he was in." said the principal, stroking his beard. Takamichi took the clothes of the boy and showed his superior the back that had a strange red swirl on it that the dean recognised from an ancient tome he had once read. "Hohoho, it seems he has finally woken up, after all this time." His words earned a confused look from Takamichi not understanding the man's words.

"I see you're confused, but I think I can tell you that this boy is not a boy. He is the warrior myth, Uzumaki Naruto." He got a gasp from Takamichi who had once read some history about the young ninja who had saved his world, at the cost of his life and also given life to the earth stretching further back than most history did.

"But that legend is thousands of years old, how can he be so young still?" Takamichi asked shocked, seeing someone known through by few as an influential person in changing the world of the ancient world in front of him.

"You could say the same about Evangeline, and he has been under the world tree since it first sprouted, after he fell to slumber" the headmaster explained the situation slightly to the man who nodded, remembering the student that was far older than most would ever believe.

"The question is, what to do with him now, with Negi-kun on the way in a week what do we do?" asked Takamichi remembering the new teacher that had been assigned to Mahora for his graduation assignment in Mage academy

"We'll have to ask him when he gets up now, won't we?" mused the old man chuckling at how he could play upon this, and if the sleeping boy would be up to helping him out a little.

Three passed days in Mahoro as Naruto slept and his body regained nutrients from the nurse, Shizuna Minamoto and her assistant, Ako Izumi. Both were surprised when the Dean had shown them Naruto, but cared for him, the Dean had told them that he was found all alone with no record of identification on him.

"When do you think he will wake up Shizuna-sensei?" asked Ako getting a sigh from the well-endowed nurse, something many students were jealous of.

"Hard to say Ako-chan, his body looked drained completely and his muscles had severe atrophy, so all we can do is wait, but I must admit his hair is unique." she told Ako seeing as few people had long white hair like he did. The boy named Naruto was strange, as never had she seen a body that had been only just living on the edge, now looked so healthy in contrast.

"Wa…ter," came a voice from the only patient in the room, drawing the attention of the two in the room.

"Ako-chan it seems we won't have to wait any longer, get him some water," Shizuna said in a light amused tone, as Ako got him a cup and brought it to his lips so he could drink.

"Thanks, my throat was really dry. Wait… where am I?" he asked as he opened his eyes to reveal, two ocean coloured eyes.

'His eyes are like sapphires eyes, pretty,' thought Ako as the boy lifted his body with difficulty but managed to get up so his back faced the wall now.

"Oh sorry, you are currently in the nurse's office in Mahoro Academy, my name is Shizuna Minamoto, and next to me is my assistant Ako Izumi. Do you remember your name young man?" asked Shizuna politely.

"Yes… my name is… my name is Uzumaki Naruto," he said not knowing what was going on the last thing he remembered was saying…goodbye. 'Oh that's right, I slipped into a deep sleep after sealing myself. How long it's been since that day.' As he looked through the window he saw the world tree 'That must be the tree that I came from, if it's that big I must have been asleep for a long time.' he thought sadly knowing that everyone he knew was gone but also held a small smirk, feeling how peaceful the place felt in his mind, almost like there was not any true turmoil in the place he was in.

"You looked troubled young man," said a voice from the door, Naruto turned to see the dean in all his bushy eyed glory.

'Wow those eye brows are bigger than Gai-san's,' was his first thought on the dean. "Sorry, just trying to figure things out, I think I have been asleep for a very long time," Naruto brushed a hand through his hair as he said this.

"I see, my name is Konoeman Konoe, would you like to talk about it?" he asked politely to Naruto.

"I doubt you would believe what I had to say," Naruto said dismissively knowing that his past would most likely sound like those of a madman.

Konoeman gestured for the other two to leave, before placing a silencing spell around the room "Try me Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha." Konoe saying his name got shocked expression from the Naruto.

"How…?" he tried to ask but was stopped by the dean's hand.

"You have been gone for the world for some time, Naruto-kun, at least a few thousand years in fact. Although in all that time your story is one that many still read, but then again most don't believe its truth. Your story is an inspiration to many to become strong for the right reasons, how taking the path to protect that which is precious will make you truly strong." he said as Naruto took in his words.

Naruto had tears in his eyes, now knowing he was remembered in the world even if his world was no longer what he remembered "It's funny, I used to dream that no one would ever remember who I was when I was younger. It seems as though I was wrong, only now, I have no clue what to do with myself after being asleep for so long. What do you do with yourself after being gone from the world for so long? " he asked himself really, only the dean to place a hand on his shoulder.

"Naruto-kun I know you feel lost, but if you want I can help you get back on your feet, before you decide what you wish to do with your life," he got a nod from Naruto as he cried into his hands seeing how he would never see anyone he actually came to see as a good friends from back then, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Gaara to name a few.

"I can offer you a job here at Mahoro, as a teacher's assistant if you wish," he continued to try and give the poor boy a chance, one that he truly deserved based on what his story had told him. "But, also to look after the students here who are precious to me, like my granddaughter Konoka." he waited for Naruto to calm down and wipe his face of excess tears.

After a few minutes Naruto stopped crying and took a deep breath "I think I'll take your offer Konoe-san, I don't have anything else in the world so maybe it's best to stay here for the time being. I am free to live my life out now that I am back and no longer I that world," he said looking up at the man who gave him a warm smile in response to his answer.

"Excellent, and thank you Naruto-kun, my heart will feel at ease if you look after my grand daughter's class, with their new teacher that's coming in a few days" he said confusing the boy slightly.

"Why what's wrong with her, and the class?" he asked the Dean.

The dean explained how magic was used more in the world as apposed to chakra once was. He further explained that Konoka had a high amount of power like him and was worried for her safety. And lastly he told him how Negi Springfield was going to be her class teacher and that he was a 10 year old prodigy getting a small laugh from Naruto which he was happy to see him do, he asked if he would be okay staying with one of his students as all teacher rooms were filled at the moment which he accepted easily not seeing the glint in the old mans eye.

"That's a lot to take in Konoe-san, but looking at my past I guess I can't really talk." He chuckled to himself at the thought. "So magic is frequently used, but kept secret from others unwise they turn you into an ermine, or some other small creature. Does that mean you don't want me to be seen using my power as well?" he checked getting a laugh and nod from the dean.

"Yes, I know it's a little strange, but enough about that. I think we need to get you some new clothes. I'll be paying for them, and don't worry about paying me back, I'm sure you'll be able to once you start working, unless you find another source of income." Naruto then remembered something and held out his arm revealing strange tattoos.

"Fuin Kai!" he said as a seal appeared above his arm and several things fell out. Naruto picked three out of the fifteen books that had dropped. "Konoe-san, if you can get these published, they are the work of an old friend, and I'm sure he's like to have them read again, just make sure young students can't get a hold of them," he said remembering the works of Jiraiya the old perverted sennin.

"I'll see what I can do Naruto-kun, I'll also see if any students from the class you'll be teaching wish to take you shopping at the moment. And thank you again Naruto-kun," he said as he began to leave.

"No thank you Konoe-san for giving me a chance and welcoming me here. I'll do my best to help out the class as best as I can, in my time here," Naruto said as the dean left the room.

He didn't have to wait long before the door opened and a brown haired girl walked in, she was wearing what he presumed to be the school uniform, she had brown eyes and a very kind expression. "Hello I'm Chizuru Naba, I take it you are the person Konoe-sensei wants someone to take shopping?" she asked Naruto as he lifted his feet out of the bed.

Naruto smiled at the girl thinking she looked nice with that kind expression on her face "Yes my name is Uzumaki Naruto Chizuru-chan, do you mind handing me the robe there it's the only clothes I have at the moment?" he asked politely earning a giggle from the girl at the use of suffix.

She handed him his clothes and helped him slip it on as he got to his feet albeit shaky, this gave her a chance to look him over, she saw his handsome face, long hair and toned body, after he exposed his chest from the bed sheets as he clothed his torso, thankfully he still had his pants on.

She led him through Mahoro and stopped at the shops, where she helped him pick out suits and he had told her that he would be working as a teacher very soon. He picked out a white suit and black shirt along side a orange tie, to which Chizuru agreed he looked good in as he got a couple and told the clerk to send the bill to the dean.

Chizuru took Naruto round the city, and Naruto was shocked to learn that the whole city was part on an academy and an all girls one at that. While walking they told each other about themselves, and their hobbies. For Chizuru, it was helping out at nurseries and star gazing with the astrology club and Naruto, music and helping people, she smiled at that one as they both had that but asked if she could here his music, to which he agreed if she took him to the music room at the academy.

"Do you have any preferred musical instrument you'd like to hear from Chizuru-chan?" he asked making the girl put one finger on her chin in thought.

"Can you play the flute Naruto-san?" she asked to which he nodded as he took one of the flutes off the side.

(Insert Watashi wa Sonata ni Horete mo ii ka-do not own)

Chizuru watched the young man she just met as he played skilfully with his eyes closed; he simply let his fingers move to the flow of the music. Outside some of the other students could hear the music and stopped what they were doing just so they could enjoy the sounds.

"Music is a powerful thing, it allows us to express ourselves in our lives. It's something I enjoyed as a child and I find it helps me remember some nice things in life." Naruto said as he went back to playing the flute.

Chizuru felt the emotion of the music; it was a requiem for Naruto making her want to know more about him and what was the cause of the emotion he displayed in his music. He came to a close in the song and looked out the window overlooking the city "Mahoro academy, lets see what you hold here for me here," he said quietly, before he stood up and began walking toward the door his hair swaying in the wind from the open window where students had broken out of their trace from the music they were hearing.

Chizuru watched him leave and followed eventually remembering he had no idea of where things were. 'I wonder if Naruto-san will become working with hour class this term, might make things more fun. I hope I can get him to play for me again' she thought before shaking her head "Oh, what am I thinking?" she mumbled.

"You say something, Chizuru-chan?" asked Naruto hearing her with his heightened hearing.

"It's nothing Naruto-san, but it's getting late, do you know where your sleeping yet?" she asked making him get a sweat drop.

"Actually no, Konoe-san didn't tell me where I'd be staying yet" he laughed slightly embarrassed earning a small giggle from his guide. "Do you mind taking me to the dean's office to find out where I'm staying Chizuru-chan?" he asked rubbing the back of his head.

"No problem at all, Naruto-san," she said smiling and dragged him by the hand electing a blush from him as she had very soft hands, he did not notice the smirk on the girl as she dragged him. It wasn't long before they were inside the dean's office with the old man, who was reading from an orange book giggling Naruto resisted the urge to shake his head at the man. He then asked the old man about his living situation, or rather lack of at the moment.

"Hohoho, Naruto-kun, yes your living arrangements, I take it you don't mind sharing with a student do you here?" he asked, and got a shake of the head for no, the dean then wrote something on a piece of paper before handing it to Naruto. "Well then, head to the room on this sheet and give your new roommate this note; it will explain your situation. By the way, the books you gave me will be getting published as you asked under your name if that's alright?" he said.

"That's fine by me but ask them to put Uzumaki Naruto and Jiraiya no Gama as the author and co-author, and thank you for letting get these new clothes Konoe-san. In regards to earlier matters do you want me to meet the new staff member in a few days with Takamichi-san?" he asked the man.

"Yes, it would be best, since you'll be working with him from that day, until then, you are free to roam the city as you see fit," he told Naruto getting a grin, as Naruto wanted to change into his wolf form, and now had time to do so.

"Thank you Konoe-san, and see you in a few days then." He bowed before and leaving the room and saw that Chizuru was still there. "Would you mind showing me to my new room, Chizuru-chan?" he asked getting a nod and she led him to the dorms and dropped him off at his room. His room mate was not fussed about having Naruto stay with her, he was thankful to her for it.

The next few days had Naruto slip into hanyou form and check his skills were up to scratch. He found getting back into his taijutsu easily enough, as well as the jutsu he had remembered, his muscles still needed a fine tuning, but nothing a few exercise wouldn't fix, his room mate helped him out with working on his muscles as she worked out in her club. During the next few days Naruto also met up with a few members of staff that he might be working with and those that also had knowledge of magic. He found them all easy to talk to and he also learned a few things about the school as well but not everything since they told it that it would be fun for him to find out on his own. Eventually came the day where Naruto was making his way to the train station to meet his new co-worker Negi Springfield.

XBreakX

Naruto was heading toward the station as many girls ran past him, and Naruto found himself wondering if the skirts here were too short, but he shook his head as he looked for his 10 year old colleague. He was told that Negi was a genius having gotten the qualifications to become a teacher at his age, Naruto was impressed with this. 'He must have on heck of a goal if he pushes him self like that,' he thought and then saw a stampede of girls. 'Okay time for a work out lets see how well I avoid this hazard'.

Naruto began weaving in an out of the crowd of girls and felt home free until he heard a loud 'ACHOO' which knocked him off balance and tripping into a nearby student.

He helped her to her feet and smiled apologetically, "Ah, sorry about that, you okay there?" the student nodded a tinge of pink on her cheeks, he looked her over for any injuries as the other students passed them "See you later, and sorry again." he said as the girl got her bag and made her way muttering

"Bye" as she passed him. 'See you in class sensei.' the girl thought to herself running ahead

"I swear that zero tolerance policy for lateness is too much, but its gets the students blood flowing at least," he said to himself watching as all the girls ran past.

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Naruto heard and turned to see a small red headed boy being held up by a girl with orange hair, that had bells attached to her pig tails wearing the standard school outfit, red vest with a red long sleeve jacket and plaid red skirt. Her friend next to her was quite cute, with dark brown hair and in the same uniform, Naruto decided to stop the mistreatment of youth.

"Excuse me ojou-chan, do you mind putting the small boy down, I don't think hurting him is necessary," he said catching the attention of all three. They saw a tall young man about their age maybe a couple years older, long white hair that hanged around his waist and shockingly, his ocean blue like the girl holding the boy, at least in one eye for her. He had a gentle expression on his face and was dressed in a white suit; black shirt and blue tie making him look professional.

The girl holding the boy had an annoyed expression of his face "And who the hell are YOU?" she said as she glared at him.

"Just someone looking out to see you don't do something you'll regret" he said calmly, smiling as he stared at her eyes not flinching from her raised voice at all.

"You should listen to him, Asuna-kun," said the voice of Takamichi walking toward him.

"Takamichi-san, you know thing student?" asked Naruto seeing how the man had called the red headed girl by her first name.

"Yes this is Asuna Kagurazaka, a student of mine from last year, good to see you again too, Negi-kun," he said to the boy, now dropped by the girl, Asuna, who had a blush on her face seeing the older teacher.

"Good morning!" said the voice of the dark haired girl smiling kindly and giving Naruto a curious glance.

"It's good to see you too, Takamichi-san" said the young boy with the staff on his back. Naruto looked over the small boy offering his hand to help him up.

"Hm, you're Negi Springfield, I take it then?" Naruto got a nod from the boy "Well nice to meet you Negi, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, your assistant for your time here. I hope we can work well." said Naruto as Negi reached out for the elder boy's hand he shook it happily, before he brought him to his feet.

"Indeed, and welcome to Mahora, Negi-kun!" Takamichi made a sweeping gesture, "it's a place isn't it Sensei?"

"Sensei?" questioned the dark haired girl, who Naruto remembered was Konoe's granddaughter, Konoka.

"Yes Negi-kun here is teaching English here, and I'm his assistant for lessons" explained Naruto to the girl.

"Wait, you mean these two brats are going to be teachers, I find that hard to believe Takahata-sensei." Asuna questioned in shock, as there was no way that these two guys could possibly be teachers, especially that red haired brat.

"Excuse me Asuna-chan, but I believe I'm older than you so if anyone is the 'brat' it would be you," Naruto pointed out logically as the girl's faced turned red.

Before Asuna could explode Takahata decided to jump in "Actually, Asuna-kun, these two are pretty smart for their age. Negi-kun here is a child genius and Naruto-kun passed his competency tests for being an assistant," he explained to the girls since Naruto had learned several languages over the past few days courtesy of shadow clones.

Asuna looked at Takahata, "Sensei… even if you tell me that…"

"It seems that from today onwards these two will be taking over class A, instead of me," Takamichi said smiling, and the words slowly sank into the two girl's heads.

Konoka seemed surprised, but Naruto was really focused on Asuna who looked like she was about to explode. "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I DON'T WANT A KID AND SOME WIERDO TEACHING ME!"

"I take offence to that you know..." mumbled Naruto frowning, he did not like the term the girl gave him.

Asuna ignored the blond as she began pleading with Takahata. "Plus a while back he was saying… love… um… something really rude to me," Asuna said while poking her fingers together nervously.

Naruto looked at Negi, before kneeling down and whispering, "What did you tell her?"

"I said her love was unrequited," Negi whispered back causing Naruto to shake his head, before Negi continued, "But it's true."

"IT IS NOT TURE!" Asuna picked him up by the collar of his coat and began to shake him. "I HATE KIDS, ESPECIALLY LITTLE ANNOYING FLEAS LIKE YOU!"

Naruto was about to stop her, but as he grabbed her arm some of his and her hair tickled Negi's nose. "ACHOO" the boys sneeze blew off each of their clothes and both got a good look at each, other before covering their unmentionables with Naruto saying "Negi, you owe me a suit." he said with a forced smile that made the boy shiver.

Later in the Dean's office Naruto, now dressed again, Asuna, in gym tracksuit, Konoka and Negi, standing as far as possible away from Naruto. "Principal-sensei, what is the meaning of this!" Asuna asked enraged

"Hohoho, Negi-kun, I see your training was to come to Japan as a teacher, that's quite the task they've given you," the old man said stroking his large beard with one hand, no doubt a habit of his after the years of growing it.

"Y… yes," Negi said giving a slight bow, "it's nice to meet you!"

"Naruto-kun, I see you met your college and are ready for your job I'll take it?" he nodded at the dean who had been a big help over the few days. And it helped that his balance had been steadily increasing from the Icha, Icha series he gave him to republish, he could see a copy on the dean's desk. The dean, had found it to be a really relaxing piece of literature

"Indeed, except for a strange wind that seemed to blow off my clothes, but nothing to worry about." He said smiling knowing that what happened was an accident, didn't mean he wasn't going to prank the little kid later at some point.

"Hohoho, that's good. By the way, Naruto-kun, are you single, if so what do you think of my grand-daughter here, Konoka?" he asked only for him to feel a great pain in his head.

Konoka had pulled out and mallet and hit him over the head saying "Oh Grandpa…"

"I… isn't it just a little odd that these kids are going to be teaching us?" Asuna asked the adult in the room. Naruto shook his head at the obvious fact that she had not listened to him earlier, "And our home room teachers, no less!"

"Negi-kun..." Konoeman spoke, interrupting and ignoring, Asuna. "This job will probably be very difficult even for you," he paused for a moment to add a little drama to his words "If it is too hard you will have to return home. There will be no second chances, do you accept?"

Negi looked nervous, but Naruto put his hands on his shoulders "Don't worry Konoe-san, I'm sure Negi will do his best, and he'll have help from me if it becomes too much." This got Negi to relax, seeing as he wasn't alone in the whole ordeal made it easier on his nerves.

Negi smiled as he instantly felt better, "Yes, I'll do it!" he said which a courageous expression on his face.

"Then its settled," Konoeman said, "Let us begin today. Let me introduce to you our staff guidance councillor Shizuna Sensei." He called out the woman on his buzzer.

The door opened and Naruto held Negi as his warning signal went off in his head. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on who you were, Naruto could not get away, and found his face pushed within a soft set of pillows… figuratively speaking. Naruto found himself stuttering and blushing as he spewed out apologies to Shizuna he never really had that happen often in his life.

"It's alright…hehehe" she said giggling slightly, seeing a handsome teen like Naruto, blush and stutter was endearing to her. Konoeman repressed the urge to give a perverted giggle… too much Icha, Icha.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you should ask her." Konoeman told the two new staff members.

The woman looked at Negi and gave a small wink, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, and one more thing," said the old man who looked like a light just came on in his head. "Konoka-chan, Asuna-chan, can Negi stay with you for a little while? We have yet to find a place for him to stay at."

"Geh," was all Asuna could think to say as she gaped at the old man. Asuna suddenly slammed her hands on to Konoeman's desk, "What! From when until when, Principle-sensei!" she shouted in outrage.

"Don't you feel sorry for him?" Konoka asked as she pet Negi on the head who found that Konoka had soft hands. Naruto just chuckled seeing how she acted.

"I told you I hate kids!" Asuna yelled at the brunette.

"You two get along now," Konoeman said as the two looked away from each other.

"Wait where are you staying Naruto-sensei, I've never seen you around here if I may ask?" said Konoka.

Naruto smiled down at the girl "Correct, Konoka-chan. I haven't been here long, only a week or so, but I did find myself a room mate here in the dorms Konoka-chan." He said getting the girl to beam; she liked this new sensei already.

As the 5 including Shizuna walked to their class, Asuna was glaring daggers at Naruto and Negi, making the poor red head sweat, very quickly after leaving the office, Asuna stopped and pointed at Negi. "I refuse to live with someone like you!" Asuna shouted. "Go camp outside with a sleeping bag or something! I'm going ahead! See you later senseis!" with that said she stomped off ahead of the group.

Konoka blushed a bit, as she bowed to them and ran after Asuna; Naruto shook his head as he looked at Shizuna. "Is she always so…" he trailed off as he raised hand and gave an 'iffy' gesture with it.

"Uuhhh… that girl's always been a little rowdy, but she really is a nice person." Shizuna replied as she took out a book and gave it to Negi. "Now this is the class roll, will you two be ok?"

"I'm sure we'll be fine Shizuna-san, come on Negi lets meet our class," said Naruto as he and Shizuna brought Negi into the classroom. Before they went in Negi looked overwhelmed after seeing he'd be in charge of 31 girls. Naruto already had seen who he'd be teaching and was happy to work with the girls.

He mind drifted back to Konoeman's question of being single, you see Naruto in his ninja days, before his slumber kept him very busy, and he honestly never had the time to really get a girlfriend. 'Maybe I can find someone here, might be nice to have someone like that, wished I had, had the time to speak to Hinata.' he thought as he placed a reassuring hand of Negi's shoulder and they walked into the room.

Negi walked through the class first and got hit with an eraser that he almost used magic to stop, before tripping a wire that sent a bucket of water onto his head an a few arrows with suction cups attacked tuck to him as he rolled into the desk at the front. 'Okay Negi no longer owes me for stripping me earlier,' thought Naruto as he watched his colleague fall for all of the traps.

Naruto helped him up, and the girls noticed him and rushed to him "Sorry, we thought you would be our new teacher." One of the twins apologised Fuka, if Naruto's memory served well enough.

"No girls, he is your new teacher, now why don't you two introduce yourselves," said Shizune and nudged Negi.

He gulped "I'm Negi Springfield, and from this day onwards we are going to be your new home room teachers. It's nice to meet you all." Negi bowed polietely to his class.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the assistant teacher to Negi here so feel free to ask me questions, if you're having any problems," he smiled at the class getting a few blushes including his room mate.

There was a collected "He's so cute!" from the class as they jumped Negi, Naruto did wise thing and took a step to the side only to get surrounded by some of the older students.

"How old are you?"

"10"

"17"

"Where are you from?"

"Wales"

"A place long gone"

"What do you mean?" asked Konoka curiously.

"I was found by the world tree a week ago, when I came to the dean told me that my home was gone but I remember it though so it's not forgotten." he with a far off expression.

The girls were hesitant to ask more except one glasses wearing girl "So where are you staying at the moment Naruto-sensei?" Haruna Satome asked.

He looked back at the class and smiled "My current residence if with one of your class mates. See if you can guess which one without conferring," he said trying to lighten the mood.

"Chisame!" said a red haired girl named Asakura Kazumi

"Nope" he said but heard a "Never," muttered from Chisame.

"Evangeline" said another red headed girl named Makie Sasaki.

"Sorry one more try" said Naruto taking note of the star the blond girl at the back was sending him.

"Mana" asked the younger of the twins Fumika Narutaki.

"Wrong and that's three so I'll have to tell you." He said raising his hand to point "My roommate is my new friend Zazie Rainyday," he said getting all girls to turn and look at said girl who was…juggling.

She nodded confirming what he said, making a few girls glare in jealousy, even Chizuru slightly. "Now, now let stop glaring at her and get on with class right Negi," said Naruto getting attention away from the quite girl who gave him a thankful nod.

Negi went to the black board and was attempting to teach, despite not being able to teach, Naruto smiled at the student named Ayaka Yukihiro, offered him a stool but sweat dropped at her 'behaviour' toward the ten year old.

Naruto felt a projectile coming for Negi, and held out his hand to catch…a piece of eraser then caught several more with ease. "Could whoever is firing their eraser please stop since I think you'll need it more than I do." Naruto said holding up his hand that held the eraser pieces. "I'm sure Negi, wants to get on with the lesson." He then stared at the person who fired them who suddenly found her desk and shoes very interesting.

Class ended without much disruption, and Naruto with Negi walked until they both sat at the statue by the stairs. "So Negi how's it feel being a mage and a teacher at 10 years old?" he asked as Negi was writing something in his class roster.

"It's tough but I'm sure I'll be able to pass and become…a…full…" he stopped realising he's revealed his secret, while not paying attention.

"Don't worry, Negi I already know about magic and in fact." Naruto said making a small rose grow from the ground "I'm a bit of one myself, among other things." he said.

"Other things, like what Naruto-san?" he asked with his natural curiosity and wanting to learn more about his colleague.

"I'll tell you later, but who's that over there on the stairs?" said Naruto noticing a girl carrying several books at the top of the stairs. She clearly had too many for a girl of her size.

"That's number 27…Miyazaki Nodoka-san. Isn't it dangerous for her to be carrying all those books?" as Negi said it Nodoka fell from the sides of the stairs. Negi used his staff to slow her fall so he could catch her. Naruto was happy to see him using his magic to help out, but felt someone watching and turned round to see Asuna staring at him and at Negi.

She ran over and grabbed Negi then, Naruto, surprising him at her physical strength and pushed them both into a tree. "I knew you two were weird, fess up what the heck was that?" she shouted at them but then felt her hand jerked away by Naruto.

She then looked at him to see two ears on his head and ten tails swishing behind him "I still take offence to that, I'm not weird just different and Negi is a mage like myself if you must know," said Naruto.

"AHHH, Naruto-san you're not supposed to reveal magic to civilians and is that a tail?" said Negi shouting at first then stopping as he spotted his friends additions.

"In fairness you revealed it first, but never the less, Asuna-chan, we ask you keep this a secret," he asked her and her response was simple.

"NO WAY!" she yelled at the two still a little shocked by the ears on her new sensei.

"You leave me no choice than, Now that you know my secret. I'm going to have to erase your memory. This might cause some brain damage, so sorry about that," said Negi preparing his staff to cast his spell. "Vanish!" he exclaimed as Asuna found herself being stripped again.

"Negi are you trying to do this?" questioned Naruto thinking at this was something out of his Icha, Icha books. 'Hmm, could write my own version for when the series ends, might be fun.' Naruto thought to himself as he offered his jacket to the girl as her bottoms were blown off.

She took it wrapping around her waist muttering "Thank you, but what's with the ears are they even real?" she asked.

"Yes Asuna-chan they are both real, you see I had to change before I came here and ended up a half wolf. But I easily adapt to most changes even when I was a child I had to grow up a little faster than others seeing how I had no parents or anyone to take care of me. " he said sadly.

Asuna felt a little sympathy for him, as she was an orphan with no memory of her past and her new teacher was just like her, albeit with one major difference "Does that mean your family are gone now?" she asked getting a nod from the half wolf before he changed back.

"Now Negi go with Asuna-chan so she can get changed before coming back to class and apologise to her too." said Naruto ushering them to move and both made their way with Negi muttering apologises for his action explaining that if found out he would be turned into an ermine.

Naruto watched them go and hoped they could get along "You can come out now," he said to the person behind him.

Out of the bushed came a girl carrying a large shuriken that was bigger than any he had seen before. "Kaede Nagase, member of the strolling club, and apparent ninja by the looks. Might I ask, what you want with me?" he asked the girl who smirked.

"I felt strange demon energy, and decided to check it out. Imagine my surprise, when it was you Naruto-sensei de-gosaru," she answered walking away from her shuriken after disassembling it as he had shown no signs of wanting to attack.

"What will you do now you know?" he asked calmly.

"Nothing sensei you hold no intent and are nothing like any demon I have been told about. I'd rather get to know you de-gorasu," she said smiling offering her hand which he took.

"It's a pleasure Kaede-chan, just keep it to yourself, I'd rather not anyone tell the other students about my situation unless I tell them, at least the ones who don't know about the other world. So shall I walk you back to class then?" he asked as she nodded and kept hold of the hand she took as she dragged him.

"Sure, but sensei can I ask why don't you tie your hair up, it must be a problem in strong winds?" she asked admiring his hair that glowed in the sun.

"I like it when it flows, feels more natural. Although now that you mention it I see that your hair is tied too so I wonder what your natural hair looks like Kaede-chan." he said making the girl grin.
