Chapter 9: Chapter 09
Basically, he wasn't a master by any means, but he had a decent grasp on what to do.
Naruto barely dabbled in fuinjutsu back in his world, but now, in this world, it suddenly became much more important to learn about.
Especially when he remembered all of the incredible things that fuinjutsu could legitimately accomplish, which inspired him to actually, really, give it a shot.
It was rough at first, but he thought that he was doing alright, all things considered.
Though he doubt that he'd ever become good enough to use fuinjutsu to head back home or anything...so that idea was out of the question.
Naruto was still thinking about his actions throughout the last two months as he was putting on his casual clothes and walked outside, prepared to start his search.
Since, by this point, it was quite dark, he decided to forgo his usual practice of fitting in and just began to jump across the rooftops at breakneck speeds.
Thankfully, as he was moving, and after doing some brainstorming, the blond quickly remembered that there was a forest-like area at the northwestern part of Kuoh Town, having passed by it when he entered the town in the first place.
Perfect.
Changing course slightly, the shinobi soared through the many buildings of the human settlement reaching his destination in a matter of seconds.
When he actually arrived, he quickly gave the forest around him a once over, determining whether it would work for him.
"...Not bad, nowhere near as impressive as Konoha's forests, but I doubt that any forest in this world can top that." Naruto said with a grin, as he decided to drop his supplies on the ground to begin.
He needed to actually draw the seals that would suppress energy signals, one that would work for a decent enough area for his training.
Thankfully, he had plenty of practice with his two month time frame.
As soon as Naruto finished drawing those very seals, the blond twitched, cut off from his work as he felt...something.
It was a spike of energy from a way's away, supernatural energy, which he has gotten used to thanks to his two month stay in this world.
At first, the shinobi didn't recognize it, but he did sense that, whatever it was, it was further up north in the forest.
For a few moments, he stayed like this, trying to grasp at this feeling.
Then it clicked in his head, an image of bat-like wings on an individual's back appearing in the forefront of his mind.
He didn't know what it was called, but he did know which group this feeling belonged to.
One of those weird supernatural creatures; devils.
So...magic? Maybe? He wasn't sure.
Regardless, Naruto grabbed his supplies again and resealed them, taking them with him as he began sprinting to the source of the energy, frowning visibly.
Whatever was out there, he had to check it out before he could begin any training, besides, he was curious.
Considering the spike of energy, maybe there was a fight sparking out ahead or something, which could actually be a good stress reliever for him to watch now that he thought about it...
Naruto eventually ended his musings when he came upon a peculiar sight once he reached his destination; a battlefield.
A battlefield that was recently made thanks to the people that were occupying this piece of the forest.
And right in the middle of it were two females, who were very much surrounded.
Standing back-to-back against one another, those two girls were amidst a virtual sea of creatures of all shapes and sizes. Which were obviously here with deadly intentions.
Among them, the shorter one was a short girl with childish features, with very risque clothing...if it could be called that anyways.
She wore what looked like a black leather top that only covered her up to her ribs and two black straps crisscrossing to make an 'X' over her stomach.
She also wore pink and white striped stockings, as well as a pair of, quite visible, black underwear.
Her long silver hair, which reached to the middle of her back, was flailing around as she jerked her head around her, and her purple eyes were glistening sharply at the dangerous situation that she found herself in.
Naruto frowned, narrowing his eyes, studying her closer as he noticed something framing the crown of her head.
...
Wait, were those horns?
Naruto couldn't help but do a double-take at the sight of the little horns on the girl's head, but quickly snapped himself out of it.
Now really wasn't the time to stare.
So, taking chance that was given to him in the apparent lull in the fighting, the blond focused his attention on the other figure who, he assumed, to be the silverette's partner.
The other girl was far more, physically at least, likely to be around the blond's age, and thankfully didn't make him feel like he was committing a crime by staring.
She had vibrant red hair, which was partially pulled into two separate pigtails that were held together with a pair of long black strings, with the rest of her hair flowing freely down to her waist, framing her pink eyes.
In terms of physique, she was practically the polar opposite of the other girl; as she had quite the voluptuous body, which was contained in a pink top that was hanging on her shoulders, and a frilly blue skirt to complete her ensemble.
All in all, the duo was quite the interesting pair. One that most wouldn't see everyday.
And they were both clearly under great distress, since they were up against multiple monsters on all sides.
