My only real Naruto fic that doesnt cross with Warhammer 40k......
Ninja Magister Naruto
Chapter 1
It was a bright, normal day in Konoha. Team seven was finishing up their daily training and being taught how to be accomplished ninja. Well actually, Sasuke was being trained how to be a ninja, Sakura was fawning over him and Naruto was, once again, doing chakra control.
“Alright team, that’s enough for today. Meet back here tomorrow at the same time.” Kakashi said to his three students. Naruto nodded enthusiastically.
“You bet sensei! See ya around.” He yelled in a typical fashion. Kakashi just waved and shushined off to do what ever it is that he does all day. Sakura turned to Sasuke as he began to walk away.
“Hey Sasuke-kun, would you like to..”
“No.” the raven-haired boy said coldly and continued walking.
“I’ll go with you Sakura-chan!” Naruto ran over too her happily, only to be hit the head.
“No way! I’d never go out with a baka like you, get lost.” She said harshly, then turned to go stalk, er, ask Sasuke for a date again. Naruto just watched his teammates go. As soon as they disappeared, the happy grin immediately slipped off his face.
“Morons.” He muttered. “Oh well, might as well get ready for work.” He shrugged and then headed for his apartment. He arrived a short while later, not even bothering to lick his door. He sighed as headed into his room and opened up his trunk.
‘Damn I really hate this jumpsuit.’ He thought sourly as he slid the jacket off. As he did he also reached into the trunk and pulled out a different set. These clothes were actually a set of standard ANBU pants and armor. He schanged into the pants and slid on the armored vest, exposing his ANBU tattoo on his left arm. Lastly he pulled out a standard black ANBU cloak and a grinning fox mask. Slipping both on he headed back out of his apartment discreetly, and shushined to the Hokage Tower.

Sarutobi was have as much normal day as possible, considering the fact that he ran a village full of ninja. He was slightly troubled however, by the most recent mission assignment that had come in. He stood facing his window, taking a puff on his pipe every now and then as he looked out over his village. Just then he heard a dull knocking at his office door.
“Who is it?” he asked without turning.
“Sir, it is Fox-taichou, here at your request.” His secretary’s voice carried into the office. The Sandaime nodded.
“Send him in.” He heard his door open and footsteps enter the room.
“Hokage-sama, Fox reporting as ordered.” The ANBU said crisply as he walked into the office. Sarutobi turned and nodded to the shinobi.
“Thank you for coming so quickly, Naruto.” He said with a small smile. The masked shinobi chuckled and pulled off the creepy fox mask.
“Damn, Old Man. You want the entire world you know who I am?” he said jovially. They both knew he joking as the Hokage always had his room soundproofed as an extra precaution.
“Ah, I’ll keep that in mind. It’s good to see you, lad.” The Sandaime gave a warm smile. Truthfully, he had been more than skeptical when Naruto had first joined the ranks of ANBU at age ten. He had argued that life as a shinobi, especially an ANBU, was not healthy for a child so young. But the ANBU commander had been adamant in his request for Naruto to join, and likewise Naruto was equally as determined. There was no denying the boy’s skill and eventually the old kage had caved.
Life had gone surprisingly well for the young blond after he entered ANBU. Everyone had welcomed him warmly, as most watched over the boy at some point or another, and accepted him as one of their own. Somehow, probably due to his naturally cheery personality, the effects of being a cold killer hadn’t worn off on Naruto. He had kept much of his personality and happiness.
‘Though I wish Kakashi hadn’t corrupted him at such a young age.’ The Sandaime mentally grimaced, thinking of Naruto’s , rather large, collection of Icha Icha Paradise.
Naruto gave a foxy grin. “So do you have a mission for me? I doubt you called me here just for a warm meeting.” Sarutobi nodded.
“Correct. We received a rather…interesting mission just a few hours ago.” The Sandaime said, his voice now serious. Naruto automatically switched into professional mode.
“Who was it from?” he asked. The Hokage shrugged.
“He didn’t give a name. He was heavily clothed so we couldn’t see his face either.” The Hokage didn’t sound overly concerned. Its wasn’t uncommon for a mission client to remain anonymous to protect themselves. Naruto nodded.
“What rank is it?” he asked with mild interest.
“S-rank. It’s a long term mission, at least a few months.” The Sandaime explained. Naruto hummed thoughtfully.
“I would need an excuse for leaving Team Seven so suddenly, and you would probably need someone else to watch over Uchiha.” He said carefully. Sarutobi nodded.
“I already have someone picked out. I’m sending you, because this mission is outside the Elemental Countries.” At this Naruto’s eyes widened.
“Outside? I didn’t there we took missions outside of the Elemental Countries.”
“We usually don’t, but our client paid a very substantial amount of money. I would be a fool to turn down such an offer.” The Sandaime said with a small bit of weariness. Naruto hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
“Okay, well what is the mission then?” The old kage pulled up a scroll with the label ‘S-rank’ on the seal. He handed it over to the young ANBU.
“Assassination. Your target is currently in residence at a bording school called Mahora Academy in Japan. Apparently she is the heir to a rather prestigious family line. Her name is Konoe Konoka(sp?). Be advised that she does have a body guard. It’s some sort of samurai though so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.” The Hokage explained. Naruto scanned over the scroll quickly. His eyes paused at a certain piece of information.
“What the hell? It says that she isn’t even fifteen yet!” he said in disbelief. Sarutobi nodded grimly.
“I don’t like it either, but like I said, our client is paying us too well for us to turn it down.” Naruto scowled slightly but nodded.
“I don’t like it, but I’ll do it, of course Hokage-sama.” The Hokage nodded in approval.
“Good. Pack for along trip and you may leave whenever you feel ready. I want a report every few days. Dismissed.” Naruto saluted smartly.
“Hai Hokage-sama!” and with that, he shushined off to his apartment to pack.
‘This is going to be hell.’ He thought silently.

‘This is heaven!’ the young ANBU thought happily. He was currently on a large train that was filled with girls. Girls wearing rather short school skirts. Needless to say, Naruto’s perverted mind was in overdrive.
‘Maybe this mission wont be so bad after all.’ Naruto would admit he was a pervert. He was nowhere near as perverted as Kakashi or Jirayah, but he could admit he was one. He believed that all men were, to whatever extent, perverted and he tried to keep it at a minimum when ever possible. Of course he still had his precious Icha Icha.
Naruto was currently decked out dark jeans and black muscle shirt with a white jacket over it. Many girls had been giving looks and whispering about the strange boy. Naruto took it all in at a simple glance. Half of him was a trained killer that was looking at all possible escape routes and threats and the other half…..was trying not to be distracted by the short schoolgirl uniforms.
“NEXT STOP, MAHORA ACADEMY!” Naruto was broken out of his thought by the voice over the loudspeaker.
‘Finally.’ He thought. The train ground to a halt and the doors slid opened. Naruto prepared to take a step out of the train, and was immediately trampled by a horde of girls all racing to get into the school. After a few minutes of laying on the ground in pain, Naruto pulled himself up, grabbed his pack and began to head across the campus.
‘This place is huge!’ he thought in slight awe as he looked around the giant Mahora campus.
‘Schools, shops, dorms, it could be an entire village!’ He paused and stared in open awe as he passed the World Tree. ‘Damn, we don’t have trees that big even back in Fire Country!’ Naruto managed to calm himself and headed off to the Dean’s office. ‘Okay, I’m a simple orphan, wanting to find some work around the school. No past, no nothing.’ He mentally went over his story again. According to the, rather detailed, information regarding the school, the headmaster of the school was his target’s grandfather. Naruto winced slightly.
‘That will make things kinda hard. Oh well, good thing our client actually had a map of this place or I would be screwed.’ He continued walking until he found a large Administration building.
‘Finally.’ He thought. He suddenly heard footsteps approaching rapidly behind him.
“LOOK OUT!” Naruto turned around quickly, only to be sent crashing to the ground. He rubbed his head sorely.
“Ow.” He muttered.
“Sorry about that, I was in a rush to get to class, aru.” Naruto looked up to see what, or rather who had crashed into him. It was a girl around fourteen years old. She had dark skin and light blond hair pulled up into two pigtails. The girl was looking down at Naruto curiously. “Are you hurt, aru ka?” she asked. Naruto stood up quickly and brushed himself off.
“Oh, no I’m fine. Sorry about that. I’m Uzumaki Naruto.” He gave a bow and introduced himself. The girls smiled.
“Ku Fei. Nice to meet you, aru.” She said happily. Naruto found himself smiling as well.
‘Damn, she’s pretty cute.’ He thought.
“Well, I should be going now. Don’t wanna be too late, see ya around, aru!” Ku Fei yelled as she ran off into the building. Naruto smiled and chuckled to himself.
“Ku Fei, eh? Interesting.” He said simply before entering the building himself. After wandering around for a while, he finally found the office. He walked over to the seceratary.
“Excuse me?” he said calmly. The secretary looked up from whatever it was that she was doing.
“Can I help you, little boy?” she asked sweetly. Naruto’s eyebrow twitched.
Little Boy?
He was twelve for kami’s sake! And an elite assassin to boot! No way in hell he would be called little boy! He took a deep breath to settle himself down.
‘Calm down, killing her wouldn’t give a very good first impression.’ He tried to reason with himself. He glanced up at the secretary who was still smiling and put on a smile of his own.
“Yes, actually. I have an appointment with Dean Konoe-sama about a job opening.”
He said evenly. The lady blinked in surprise.
“A job? My, you are so young too.” She said in a disbelieving tone. Naruto held his smile, though it was becoming increasingly hard.
“Yeah, but I have to make money somehow.” Truth be told, it was purely luck that Naruto had found an add for positions at Mahora Academy. It made his job a whole lot easier and Naruto jumped at the opportunity.
“Well then I suppose you can go in, Konoe-sama doesn’t have any other meetings for a while.” The lady shrugged. Naruto nodded in thanks and entered the office.
There were two people inside. One was a young-looking man with a cigarette, and the other was an old man with a ridiculously large head. Definitely the Dean. Dean Konoe looked up at the sudden intrusion.
“Ahh and you are?” he asked in a warm voice that reminded Naruto of the Sandaime. The blond ANBU gave a polite bow.
“I am Uzumaki Naruto Dean-sama. I am here for an appointment about a job offer.” The Dean nodded.
“Ah yes, Naruto. Welcome to Mahora Academy. As I’m sure you already know, I’m the headmaster of this academy. This is Takamichi(sp?), one of our faculty here at the school.” Takamichi nodded in greeting. “Now then, you say you would like a job here. You are awfully young, too much so to be a teacher. What can you do?” the headmaster inquired. Naruto paused for a moment.
“Anything you need me to, sir. I can work around the grounds or help with janitorial work. I just wish to have a way to work.” He said, hoping that they would buy it.
“Why choose Mahora, though?” Takamichi spoke for the first time. Naruto turned to him and rubbed his head sheepishly.
“Well, truth be told I just happened to find an add for work here and decided to go for it.” He said. Takamichi sweatdropped at his reason.
“Well, aren’t you a little young for a job? What about your parents.” The teacher inquired. Naruto adopted a sad expression.
“I’m an orphan. I’m trying to make some money so I can live on my own since the orphanage kicked me out.” He said sadly. Takamichi looked down.
“Oh, sorry.” He said ashamedly. Naruto just smiled.
“Don’t worry about it.” He said, cheeryness returning. Dean Konoe rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He was staring at Naruto with intensity, making the boy get slightly nervous, though he didn’t show it.
“Tell me Naruto-kun, can you speak English?” he asked finally. Naruto blinked, caught off guard at the question. He had learned English during his training in ANBU. It was required for all ANBU to know at least some of the language for diplomatic reasons.
“Well enough to hold a conversation.” He said finally, not wanting to give away too much. The dean’s eyes lit up.
“Excellent. As it stands, we have an English class that could use an assistant teacher. You can start there.” He said firmly. Naruto blinked and Takamichi looked shocked, but didn’t say anything.
“Well, thank you Dean-sama. I promise to try had, umm just one thing.” Naruto ended unsurely.
“Yes?”
“Why a teacher? Like you said earlier, aren’t I a little young to teach students?” Naruto questioned. The old headmaster chuckled.
“Yes I did, but I am not too concerned with that. Besides, the current teacher there, Negi Springfield, is only ten years old.” Naruto’s eyes shot into his hair-line.
“Ten? Wow, I guess that solves that problem.” Naruto said with shock. The dean nodded.
“Good, it’s settled then. You are to provide assistance to Negi Springfield in class 2-A. Good luck to you.” The dean finished with a voice of authority. Naruto nodded but then hesitated.
“Umm, sir what about living arrangements?” the old dean just waved him off.
“Don’t worry about that. There are plenty of empty dorms around campus. I’ll have my secretary arrange a place for you to stay.” He explained. Naruto smiled and bowed.
“Thank you. I promise to try my best.” The headmaster chuckled.
“I’m sure you will. Now then, Shizuna-san here will show you to your new class.” The man indicated behind Naruto. The ninja turned and jumped slightly at the lady that had somehow snuck up behind him.
‘What the hell? I didn’t even notice her. I’m going to have to concentrate harder.’ Naruto mentally scolded himself. Shizuna smiled down at the boy.
“Hello there Naruto-san. If you would come with me.” She gestured out into the hallway. Naruto nodded and gave the dean one last bow before following the woman.
The minute he had left, Takamichi turned to the dean.
“Why did you make him an assistant teacher, especially to Negi’s class?” he asked in disbelief. The old man stroked his beard thoughtfully.
“Surely you felt the power within Naruto-kun. I can’t quite identify it, but feels extremely strong.” He said. Takamichi nodded in confirmation.
“Do you think he is a mage? If so, a friend or foe?” he asked seriously. The dean went silent for a moment.
“If Naruto is an ally, then he could greatly help us. Recent events have forced us to be on guard especially with the Kyoto incident over the break. Naruto could prove to be a valuably ally indeed.”
“And if he in a foe?” Takamichi asked.
“If he is an enemy, I have no doubt in you or Negi’s abilities to prevent an incident.” The dean finished. Takamichi sighed and accepted the explanation. There wasn’t much else to do except watch and see how you Uzumaki would behave.

“And here is 2-A.” Shizuna said she lead Naruto up to the door of the classroom. Naruto gave her a thankful look.
“Thank you. Well I suppose this is it.” He said. Shizuna suddenly paused.
“Oh, I’ll have a class role for you by tomorrow, Naruto-san. Good luck.” She said cheerfully. Naruto nodded and breathed in. He grabbed the door knob and slowly opened the door. As he entered, all eyes turned towards him. There was a total of thirty-one girls in the class from the looks of it. There was a young looking kid with red hair tied up in a pony tail standing at the teacher’s desk. He looked up and smiled as he saw Shizuna enter behind Naruto.
“Ah, Shizuna-san. What can I do for you?” the boy asked. Shizuna smiled at him warmly.
“Hello Negi-kun. I’d like to introduce you to your new assistant, Uzumaki Naruto.” She stepped aside, letting Naruto walk up to the desk. Negi smiled and held out his hand.
“Nice to meet you Naruto-san. I’m Negi Springfield, welcome to class 2-A.” he said. Naruto smiled and shook the boy teacher’s hand.
“The pleasure is mine, Negi-san. I’m looking forward to working with you.” He had a gin plastered on his face. Shizuna turned to leave.
“Well then. If you have everything under control here, I must return to Dean Konoe. Call me if you need anything Naruto-san. Bye Negi-kun.” With that, the woman left. Negi turned back to the class that was quietly waiting.
“Well class, meet Uzumaki Naruto, your new assistant teacher.” He said simply. Naruto stepped towards the class.
“Hello, girls. I hope to have a great year and look forward to meeting all of you.” He said with his famous fox grin. The girls were quiet for a moment. Negi sweatdropped and took a step back. He knew that silence all too well and wanted no part in the carnage.
Sure enough, a second later the girls suddenly rushed Naruto, glomping him and bombarding him with questions.
“How old are you?”
“Where did you come from?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
The poor boy tried to keep up with all the questions thrown at, but was failing miserably. Negi chuckled and decided to intervene.
“Okay girls, you can harass him later, please return to your seats.” He said calmly, to which the girls grudgingly obliged. Naruto threw the child mage a thankful grin.
“Now then Naruto-san, I was just about to take attendance. Please feel free to watch for now until any problems arise.” Negi said. Naruto nodded, grabbed a stool and leaned up against the chalkboard.
“Alright then. Kazumi Asakura.”
“Here!”
“Miyazaki Nodoka.”
“H-here.”
As Negi took attendance, Naruto looked around at the strange group of girls. One in the back was juggling pencils, another was polishing a rather dangerous-looking gun and one kept on staring at Negi and blushing. Naruto paused as he saw a familiar face in the crowd.
‘Ku Fei-san.’ He thought as he looked at the girls. Ku Fei had apparently recognized him too, because she was staring at him while Negi was talking. Seeing Naruto look at her, the girl smiled cheerfully and waved. Naruto smiled and gave a small wave in return. This got a few of the girls looking at the two strangely.
“You two know each other Naruto-san?” Negi paused and asked. Naruto rubbed his head sheepishly.
“Well, sorta.” He said simply. One of the girls near the middle called out.
“Hey Ku Fei, why didn’t you tell us that the cute new teacher was your boyfriend.” She said loudly, causing both Naruto and Ku Fei to turn red.
“I-it’s not like that, aru!” the blond haired girls shouted, waving her hands around frantically. A few of the girls sniggered. Negi cleared his throat.
“If I may continue… Sakurazaki Setsuna.”
“Here.”
“ Konoe Konoka.”
“Here!” the reply came happily. Naruto instantly perked up, searching for a face. Finally he came to rest on Konoka.
‘My target.’ Naruto’s thoughts instantly became deadly. ‘At least I have a face to go by now instead of just a description. Intel is always worse than it’s supposed to be.’
Negi finished up role and launched into the lesson. Naruto sat back on his stool and sighed. This was going to take some getting used to. After what seemed like forever, the class ended. Negi turned to Naruto as the students began to file out.
“Well, how was your first day?” he asked as he gathered up some papers. Naruto sighed heavily.
“Boring as hell. But I am just here to assist you. You are the real teacher.” He said and folded his hands behind his head lazily. Negi chuckled.
“Yes, don’t worry though; there will be plenty of work later on in the semester. Now then I must be going.” Negi waved goodbye to the blond assistant and headed off to wherever. Naruto stood alone in the classroom. He glanced around before walking out slowly.
‘And now my mission officially begins.’

“Well, truth be told I just happened to find an add for work here and decided to go for it.” He said. Takamichi sweatdropped at his reason.
“Well, aren’t you a little young for a job? What about your parents.” The teacher inquired. Naruto adopted a sad expression.
“I’m an orphan. I’m trying to make some money so I can live on my own since the orphanage kicked me out.” He said sadly. Takamichi looked down.
“Oh, sorry.” He said ashamedly. Naruto just smiled.
“Don’t worry about it.” He said, cheeryness returning. Dean Konoe rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He was staring at Naruto with intensity, making the boy get slightly nervous, though he didn’t show it.
“Tell me Naruto-kun, can you speak English?” he asked finally. Naruto blinked, caught off guard at the question. He had learned English during his training in ANBU. It was required for all ANBU to know at least some of the language for diplomatic reasons.
“Well enough to hold a conversation.” He said finally, not wanting to give away too much. The dean’s eyes lit up.
“Excellent. As it stands, we have an English class that could use an assistant teacher. You can start there.” He said firmly. Naruto blinked and Takamichi looked shocked, but didn’t say anything.
“Well, thank you Dean-sama. I promise to try had, umm just one thing.” Naruto ended unsurely.
“Yes?”
“Why a teacher? Like you said earlier, aren’t I a little young to teach students?” Naruto questioned. The old headmaster chuckled.
“Yes I did, but I am not too concerned with that. Besides, the current teacher there, Negi Springfield, is only ten years old.” Naruto’s eyes shot into his hair-line.
“Ten? Wow, I guess that solves that problem.” Naruto said with shock. The dean nodded.
“Good, it’s settled then. You are to provide assistance to Negi Springfield in class 2-A. Good luck to you.” The dean finished with a voice of authority. Naruto nodded but then hesitated.
“Umm, sir what about living arrangements?” the old dean just waved him off.
“Don’t worry about that. There are plenty of empty dorms around campus. I’ll have my secretary arrange a place for you to stay.” He explained. Naruto smiled and bowed.
“Thank you. I promise to try my best.” The headmaster chuckled.
“I’m sure you will. Now then, Shizuna-san here will show you to your new class.” The man indicated behind Naruto. The ninja turned and jumped slightly at the lady that had somehow snuck up behind him.
‘What the hell? I didn’t even notice her. I’m going to have to concentrate harder.’ Naruto mentally scolded himself. Shizuna smiled down at the boy.
“Hello there Naruto-san. If you would come with me.” She gestured out into the hallway. Naruto nodded and gave the dean one last bow before following the woman.
The minute he had left, Takamichi turned to the dean.
“Why did you make him an assistant teacher, especially to Negi’s class?” he asked in disbelief. The old man stroked his beard thoughtfully.
“Surely you felt the power within Naruto-kun. I can’t quite identify it, but feels extremely strong.” He said. Takamichi nodded in confirmation.
“Do you think he is a mage? If so, a friend or foe?” he asked seriously. The dean went silent for a moment.
“If Naruto is an ally, then he could greatly help us. Recent events have forced us to be on guard especially with the Kyoto incident over the break. Naruto could prove to be a valuably ally indeed.”
“And if he in a foe?” Takamichi asked.
“If he is an enemy, I have no doubt in you or Negi’s abilities to prevent an incident.” The dean finished. Takamichi sighed and accepted the explanation. There wasn’t much else to do except watch and see how you Uzumaki would behave.

“And here is 2-A.” Shizuna said she lead Naruto up to the door of the classroom. Naruto gave her a thankful look.
“Thank you. Well I suppose this is it.” He said. Shizuna suddenly paused.
“Oh, I’ll have a class role for you by tomorrow, Naruto-san. Good luck.” She said cheerfully. Naruto nodded and breathed in. He grabbed the door knob and slowly opened the door. As he entered, all eyes turned towards him. There was a total of thirty-one girls in the class from the looks of it. There was a young looking kid with red hair tied up in a pony tail standing at the teacher’s desk. He looked up and smiled as he saw Shizuna enter behind Naruto.
“Ah, Shizuna-san. What can I do for you?” the boy asked. Shizuna smiled at him warmly.
“Hello Negi-kun. I’d like to introduce you to your new assistant, Uzumaki Naruto.” She stepped aside, letting Naruto walk up to the desk. Negi smiled and held out his hand.
“Nice to meet you Naruto-san. I’m Negi Springfield, welcome to class 2-A.” he said. Naruto smiled and shook the boy teacher’s hand.
“The pleasure is mine, Negi-san. I’m looking forward to working with you.” He had a gin plastered on his face. Shizuna turned to leave.
“Well then. If you have everything under control here, I must return to Dean Konoe. Call me if you need anything Naruto-san. Bye Negi-kun.” With that, the woman left. Negi turned back to the class that was quietly waiting.
“Well class, meet Uzumaki Naruto, your new assistant teacher.” He said simply. Naruto stepped towards the class.
“Hello, girls. I hope to have a great year and look forward to meeting all of you.” He said with his famous fox grin. The girls were quiet for a moment. Negi sweatdropped and took a step back. He knew that silence all too well and wanted no part in the carnage.
Sure enough, a second later the girls suddenly rushed Naruto, glomping him and bombarding him with questions.
“How old are you?”
“Where did you come from?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
The poor boy tried to keep up with all the questions thrown at, but was failing miserably. Negi chuckled and decided to intervene.
“Okay girls, you can harass him later, please return to your seats.” He said calmly, to which the girls grudgingly obliged. Naruto threw the child mage a thankful grin.
“Now then Naruto-san, I was just about to take attendance. Please feel free to watch for now until any problems arise.” Negi said. Naruto nodded, grabbed a stool and leaned up against the chalkboard.
“Alright then. Kazumi Asakura.”
“Here!”
“Miyazaki Nodoka.”
“H-here.”
As Negi took attendance, Naruto looked around at the strange group of girls. One in the back was juggling pencils, another was polishing a rather dangerous-looking gun and one kept on staring at Negi and blushing. Naruto paused as he saw a familiar face in the crowd.
‘Ku Fei-san.’ He thought as he looked at the girls. Ku Fei had apparently recognized him too, because she was staring at him while Negi was talking. Seeing Naruto look at her, the girl smiled cheerfully and waved. Naruto smiled and gave a small wave in return. This got a few of the girls looking at the two strangely.
“You two know each other Naruto-san?” Negi paused and asked. Naruto rubbed his head sheepishly.
“Well, sorta.” He said simply. One of the girls near the middle called out.
“Hey Ku Fei, why didn’t you tell us that the cute new teacher was your boyfriend.” She said loudly, causing both Naruto and Ku Fei to turn red.
“I-it’s not like that, aru!” the blond haired girls shouted, waving her hands around frantically. A few of the girls sniggered. Negi cleared his throat.
“If I may continue… Sakurazaki Setsuna.”
“Here.”
“ Konoe Konoka.”
“Here!” the reply came happily. Naruto instantly perked up, searching for a face. Finally he came to rest on Konoka.
‘My target.’ Naruto’s thoughts instantly became deadly. ‘At least I have a face to go by now instead of just a description. Intel is always worse than it’s supposed to be.’
Negi finished up role and launched into the lesson. Naruto sat back on his stool and sighed. This was going to take some getting used to. After what seemed like forever, the class ended. Negi turned to Naruto as the students began to file out.
“Well, how was your first day?” he asked as he gathered up some papers. Naruto sighed heavily.
“Boring as hell. But I am just here to assist you. You are the real teacher.” He said and folded his hands behind his head lazily. Negi chuckled.
“Yes, don’t worry though; there will be plenty of work later on in the semester. Now then I must be going.” Negi waved goodbye to the blond assistant and headed off to wherever. Naruto stood alone in the classroom. He glanced around before walking out slowly.
‘And now my mission officially begins.’
