Chapter 540: Polar Opposites

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

 

November 2, x787.

 

{"I'm definitely coming with you next time."} Cana said in an exasperated tone through the speakers of Alfonzo's lPhone. {"I mean, I really wanna see what kind of village is populated by so many idiots. Are they always drunk or something?"}

 

{"Are you aware of the irony in that statement?"} Lucy asked in a sarcastic tone. {"Or do I need to explain it for you?"}

 

{"Now's not the time for your retorts, Lucy."} Cana shot back. {"I mean, most of us have had some pretty messed up things happen while we were children. But for the whole village to hate him since the day he was born? That's ridiculous. And all because of a stupid rumor."}

 

{"Yeah, I know what it's like to have your whole village hate you."} Mirajane added as she lowered her head while remembering how her village treated her when her magic was first awakened. {"But I only had to deal with it for a few days, maybe a week. Meanwhile, this boy has been going through this for as long as he can remember."}

 

{"Yeah, it's really sad."} Sun said quietly while her tone showed pity.

 

{"It's amazing he doesn't hate that village and everything in it."} Ultear said while shaking her head. {"That boy is what you called a Jinchuriki, right? And they are supposed to be really powerful strategic resources for those villages, right? Weren't the leaders of that village afraid of turning such a dangerous resource onto itself?"}

 

Currently, Alfonzo was on a video call with the ladies of the mansion on the lake in Magnolia. However, Elicia was not a part of this call, for now. And the reason for that was because she was putting Amar'e to bed.

 

As for the conversation that was going on, Alfonzo had just told his lovers about the conversation he had with Hiruzen regarding Naruto. And they all had slightly different reactions. However, the thing they all had in common was the fact that they were not happy with the way Naruto had been treated.

 

"Yeah, honestly, I'm amazed that he doesn't hate the village, too." Alfonzo replied. "But after getting to know him, I can say he's a kid with a really strong heart. At most, the only thing he's ever done is play pranks. And none of those pranks were malicious in nature. Instead, he only wanted people to pay attention to him."

 

{"*Sigh* People can be so cruel."} Marin said in a sad tone.

 

{"But if he can remain positive, as he has…"} Erza said in a solemn tone. {"… he will grow to be truly acceptional in the future."}

 

{"He probably really needs a hug."} Shizuka added. {"I really wanna give him a hug.'}

 

{"Something tells me you'd just end up suffocating him.} Lucy said dryly.

 

{"Huh? What do you mean?"} Shizuka asked while tilting her head in confusion.

 

Through the lPhone's screen, Alfonzo could see Cana, Ultear, Erza, Mirajane, Marin, Sun, and Lucy all turn their gazes to Shizuka's breasts in unison. Meanwhile, Shizuka seemed to get more and more confused as time went by. At the same time, Alfonzo did all he could to not laugh out loud.

 

A moment later however, the strange atmosphere was broken when the last of Alfonzo's lovers, and his first wife, Elicia entered the room.

 

{"Okay, Mar'e is finally sleep."} Elicia said in a relieved tone. {"Seriously, it's like he knew Fonzie was on the phone, or something. He just refused to go to sleep tonight."}

 

"Hahaha! Just yesterday, he was too sleepy to even care if I came home." Alfonzo said while laughing uproariously. "And today, you say he didn't wanna go to sleep because he knew I was on the phone. Our son is so fickle."

 

Hearing Alfonzo laughing so happily about his son, the nine women in the mansion could not help but smile.

 

{"So, what did I miss?"} Elicia asked curiously after Alfonzo's laughter died down.

 

With that, they all explained to Elicia what they had been talking about. And when she heard about Naruto being told about his parents and the Nine-Tailed Fox, Elicia smiled.

 

{"Good."} Elicia said while nodding emphatically. {"He should have been told about his parents a long time ago. What kind of stupid reason is 'There might be more assassins coming after him' if he knows? That was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. If he wasn't already dead, I would go to the village and kill that Danzo myself for making Naruto go through all that. In fact, he's lucky Fonzie got to him before I did. How dare he think of kidnapping me and Mar'e to make Fonzie into a puppet. I would have made what Fonzie did to him look like a relaxing dip in the hot tub."}

 

With that, Elicia continued to talk about Danzo, how much she hated him, and how much worse her torture would have been if she had been the one to catch him. And while Alfonzo, Cana, Ultear, Erza, Mirajane, Marin, Sun, and Lucy were used to this side of Elicia after all the years they have known her, Shizuka found herself dumbfounded at Elicia's change. Still, she completely agreed with her. She even added her own two Jewels.

 

{"Yeah, you should punch him in the pee pee, too."} Shizuka added in a solemn tone.

 

Immediately after hearing that, Alfonzo, Cana, Ultear, Erza, and Mirajane, the members of Fairy Tail who were part of the guild when Alfonzo became an S-Class wizard, all slowly looked towards Elicia. Meanwhile, Marin, Sun, Lucy, and Shizuka were confused by the change in atmosphere.

 

Elicia also felt the different atmosphere. So, she ended her rant about how she would have tortured Danzo had she been the one to catch him. Then, she tilted her head in confusion.

 

{"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?"} Elicia asked in a confused tone.

 

After seeing Elicia's confused expression, the girls were finding it harder to keep their composure. But the others, like Marin, Sun, Lucy, and Shizuka were getting more and more confused as time went by.

 

"I think they're wondering what you think about Shizuka's suggestion for punishing Danzo." Alfonzo said with a smile on his face. "Now that I think about it, I don't think you've done that to anyone since I made S-Class, right??

 

With that question, all the ladies who were present for Alfonzo's celebration party after passing the S-Class Exam could no longer hold back their laughter.

 

{"Wait, what's that got to do with Lici punching someone in the... privates?"} Sun asked curiously.

 

With that, the girls who were there, tried to explain the series of events when Elicia punched Gildarts below the belt. They also explained why Elicia was called Gildarts' hard counter by the members of the guild. And just like that, the conversation went on until they all decided to go to bed so they could get up for training the following morning.

 

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Unnamed Island.

 

At the same time, on an unnamed island off the southern shores of Fiore, a school was under construction. And this school seemed to be quite advanced in terms of technology. On top of that, it was enormous, taking up most of the island's surface.

 

While most of the school was unfinished, there were a few rooms that were completed and fully furnished. For example, the principal's office and its reception room. And there was currently a young woman with long blonde hair tied into twin tails, light blue eyes, and a tall, exaggerated hourglass figure sitting on the couch in that reception room.

 

"*Sigh* Things have been so peaceful recently." the young woman, Junko Enoshima said in a bored tone. "It's so~~~ boring~~~~. Why hasn't anything despair inducing happened lately? What's wrong with the world?"

 

With that, Junko raised her right hand and looked at her fingernails. And as she did, she caught sight of the school she had commissioned to be built through the window of the reception room.

 

"But when this school is finished, I'll be able to bring despair to all those students who enroll here." Junko said in a much brighter tone. "And with these new lPhones, I'll be able to broadcast it to the whole continent."

 

As she spoke, Junko looked to her side where an lPhone sat on the couch beside her. Then, she picked up the lPhone, unlocked it, navigated to her photos, and began scrolling through them with a happy smile on her face.

 

"*Sigh* This lPhone thing really is a wonderful invention." Junko said while smiling happily at the lPhone in her hand. "And that Alfonzo Marcus is a true genius, a man worthy of receiving the greatest form of despair. Perhaps I should let him see his family be tortured in front of him. Or maybe I should kidnap them, make him think he'll be able to save them, just to kill them at the last moment. So many possibilities."

 

Judging by the expression on Junko's face, one would think the pictures were of happy times. And for Junko and Himiko Toga, they would be right. In fact, in the picture that was currently displayed on Junko's lPhone, Junko and Himiko were both facing the camera while smiling brightly and making double peace signs at the camera.

 

Unfortunately, there was much more to the picture than that. In the background behind the two young women was the site where the school was being built. However, this picture was from before construction had even started.

 

Instead, the entire construction crew was kneeling on the ground with collars around their necks. And to anyone familiar with magic items sold in the black market, they would know that those collars were slave collars. Meaning, that the entire construction team was forced into building the school for Junko.

 

On top of that, each slave collar had an explosive fitted into it. So, if Junko was not satisfied, their heads would be blown off their shoulders. And Junko made sure they all knew that without a shadow of a doubt by randomly blowing off the heads of a few of her forced labor force.

 

And to make things worse, not a single one of the people she forced to build her school had a background in construction. As a result, they were all fearing for their lives at nearly every minute of every day. And Junko was absolutely loving the despair in their eyes.

 

As Junko looked through her picture gallery, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. On top of that, it sounded as if they were running.

 

*Bang!*

 

A moment later, the door to the reception room was flung open. Now, standing in the doorway was Himiko Toga, a pretty girl with slightly cat like features, yellow eyes, and blonde hair tied into short twin tails, with an envelope in her hand.

 

"Hey, Junko~." Himiko said energetically as she raised the hand holding the letter and started waving at Junko happily.

 

"Himiko." Junko replied with a sweet smile in an even sweeter tone. "What's got you so excited?"

 

"A request just arrived from our middle man." Himiko replied as she walked towards the couch Junko was sitting on. "And I'm really hoping it's to drench a cute guy in his own blood. Mmm~ I really hope so."

 

"One can only hope, right?" Junko replied, switching her tone to that of the older sister architype this time.

 

By that point, Himiko reached the couch. Then, she handed the envelope to Junko, who wasted no time opening it. And as Junko started reading the letter, Himiko saddled up next to her to read it, as well.

 

After reading the letter, both blonde young women smiled happily. Then, they turned to make eye contact with each other.

 

"I didn't expect that Orochimaru to contact me again so soon." Junko said happily. A moment later, she began to blush like an embarrassed school girl. "But when he does, he brings me such a despair inducing event. Himiko, do you think he has a crush on me? Is this his way of confessing to me? But he's so much older than me, what should I do?"

 

"I don't know." Himiko replied with a happy smile of her own. However, like Junko, she also started blushing like an embarrassed school girl shortly afterwards. "But that Kabuto, his right hand man, is kinda cute. Like, in a nerdy way with those round rimmed glasses. Do you think it would be okay if I stabbed him a little? I mean, he would look even better if he were wearing his own blood, right?"

 

Like that, the two insane women continued to talk past each other while emersed in their delusions. At the same time, Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were in one of the hideouts they created in Bosco tensed while scanning their surroundings after feeling that their lives were in danger.

 

Eventually, Himiko was the first to snap out of her stupor.

 

"so, are we gonna accept the request?" Himiko asked excitedly.

 

"Of course we are." Junko said just as excitedly. Then she put on a dignified expression as she continued. "Killing the leader of a nation's hidden military force would be the perfect way to spread despair among its people. It's only a shame that we won't be able to claim the credit for this one."

 

Upon reaching that point, Junko's face was once again flushed red. At the same time, she began rubbing her thighs together while fondling her own breasts.

 

"Mmm~~! Still, I would love to feel the despair his death would bring to his people on my own skin." Junko continued in a sensual tone. "Oh, it will be delicious."

 

As insane as the one making it may be, that decision would be the one that seals the fate of the leader of the Village Hidden in the Sand, Rasa. It would lead to conflict in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, as well.

Chapter 541: New Teachers

Earth land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

 

November 3, x787.

 

The next morning, after waking up, training, eating breakfast, and finishing his preparations to go work on the training grounds, Alfonzo opened the door to his residence. And when he did, he found a familiar face standing in front of him. However, this time it was not Kakashi.

 

"Hey, long time no see." said a fair skinned young woman with purple hair tied into a spiky, fanned-out ponytail and brown, pupilless eyes. "Haven't seen you since you married Lici, yeah? Too Bad I couldn't make it to Cana's wedding, though."

 

"Oh, hey, Anko." Alfonzo said in a totally dry tone.

 

"I don't think you could seem any less excited to see me if you tried." Anko said, placing her hands on her hips as she leaned forward towards Alfonzo with a grin.

 

"Oh, I could, trust me." Alfonzo replied with a straight face. "Wanna see?"

 

"Oh, come on, Alfonzo. Don't tell me you're still mad about that." Anko said as she straightened back up. "It was only one bottle of liquor. Plus, me and Cana apologized like a hundred times for it."

 

"No, it was not just a bottle of liquor." Alfonzo replied calmly. "That was supposed to be the bottle I popped when my first son was old enough to drink. And now, I gotta hope I can find another one."

 

Hearing that, Anko looked away and started whistling a little jingle.

 

As it turned out, there was a point during Alfonzo and Elicia's reception where both Cana and Anko disappeared for a while. And when they returned, they were both tipsy. On top of that, neither of them could look Alfonzo in the eye. However, Cana was always, at least, a little tipsy and Anko had let herself go because of the reception, so no one really paid them any mind.

 

However, the next day, after finishing the negotiations about the training facilities with the guild masters, Alfonzo returned to the old mansion to help move everyone's belongings into the mansion on the lake. And that was when he saw it.

 

In the center of his liquor collection, where his most expensive bottle of liquor, a three-hundred-year-old bottle of cognac stood, was an empty bottle. For nearly five minutes, Alfonzo stood in front of his liquor cabinet with astonishment and disbelief written all over his face.

 

Then, after that five minutes passed, an anguished roar sounded over the entirety of Magnolia. And because he was sure that Cana was the main culprit in this case, she was thoroughly punished later that night. And for the second time, all her harem sisters watched her get a spanking.

 

"Anyway, you're here to escort Wendy to the hospital, right?" Alfonzo asked, deciding that not thinking about that day was better for his health, specifically his blood pressure.

 

"That's right." Anko replied while smiling widely. "So, is she ready to go yet?"

 

Instead of replying, Alfonzo turned back towards the inside of the house. Then, he shouted.

 

"Hey, Wendy!" Alfonzo shouted loud enough to be heard from anywhere in the house. "Anko's here to pick you up! You ready to go yet?"

 

"I-I'll be there in a second!" Wendy shouted back, sounding a bit panicked.

 

With that, Alfonzo turned back around. And when he did, he saw Anko pouting at him.

 

"What's the matter?" Alfonzo asked, pretending he had no idea what was bothering Anko.

 

"You know damn well what is bothering me." Anko replied snappily. "You took the surprise out of it."

 

Instead of replying immediately, Alfonzo grabbed Anko by the waist, lifted her off the veranda, and put her down to the side of the door a moment later. Then, he started walking past her, Kakashi falling in line with him not long later. Then, after stepping off the veranda, Alfonzo looked over his shoulder to reply to Anko, who was still glaring and pouting at him.

 

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, she already knew you were here." Alfonzo said nonchalantly. "As long as she wasn't slacking off, that is. But Wendy doesn't do that. So, she definitely knew you were standing outside of the door for five minutes and seventeen seconds."

 

*Bang!*

 

In response, Anko stomped her foot in frustration. Unfortunately, thanks to her frustration, she did not control her strength properly. So, her foot went straight through the wooden planks making up the veranda.

 

"I'm not paying for that." Alfonzo said while smiling in a cheeky manner. "I'll make sure that the village sends you the invoice for the repairs, okay?"

 

*Bang!*

 

"Fuck off!" Anko shouted in annoyance after stomping another hole in the veranda. "And I'm gonna get you to tell me how you always know where I am one of these days. Just wait."

 

"Good luck." Alfonzo said while walking off into the distance and waving his hand without turning back.

 

With that, Anko continued to glare at Alfonzo while he and Kakashi walked away. And she continued to glare until Wendy and Carla stepped onto the veranda and asked what was up with the holes. Then, after taking a few minutes to get the two to drop the subject, she led them to the village hospital.

 

Like that, the day passed peacefully. While Alfonzo worked to the point of exhausting almost all of his magic power, Wendy got used to working in a hospital. And she was overwhelmed by how much more work there was to do than the work she did whenever she helped in the guild's infirmary.

 

Despite the extra work load, Wendy felt the work was fulfilling. She enjoyed helping people, after all. And healing the injured and curing the ill was the epitome of helping others in her opinion.

 

Eventually, the afternoon came. First, Alfonzo ended his work for the day. Then, after he spent a couple of hours at home, the academy let out for the day. Not long after that, Wendy's shift at the hospital ended. Then, Wendy and the kids from the academy showed up at the house around the same time.

 

And that would be how most days would go for the foreseeable future. However, there was something different today. And that was the fact that Naruto was not with the kids from the academy.

 

"Huh?" Anko, who was accompanying Wendy back to the house, exclaimed in surprise after seeing so many academy students after she, Wendy, and Carla arrived in the living room. "What's up with all the brats?"

 

When Wendy, Carla, and Anko entered the house, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Sasuke, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, and Shino were already present. So, after hearing Anko, they all turned towards her and frowned at being called brats.

 

"Oh, the heirs of the Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Hyuga, Aburame, and Inuzuka. *Whistle* This is a gathering of future big shots." Anko continued, not minding the glares from most of the children. "Oh, the last Uchiha is here, too. Man, it looks like I'm crashing a party, doesn't it."

 

"*Sigh* Hey, Anko." Alfonzo said after sighing exasperatedly. "Anyway, if you stay quiet, you can stay for dinner."

 

Hearing that, Anko's eyes lit up and her mouth slammed shut. Then, she skipped over to one of the couches and sat down. After that, she simply watched the interactions between Alfonzo and the academy kids.

 

Having grown to expect behavior like that from Anko, Wendy simply shook her head before also taking a seat with Carla following behind her. Meanwhile, Saeko and Rika watched the whole thing in interest.

 

"He really is good at handling women, isn't he?" Rika asked, whispering into Saeko's ear.

 

"He is." Saeko replied while her eyes focused on Alfonzo. "But with a harem of nine women, he should be. Otherwise, there would be a bunch of in fighting. Not to mention, he would get stepped all over."

 

"You're probably right." Rika replied with a nod. Then, she turned her attention to Anko. "That's the girl that Cana seems to be close to, right? From what I heard, she's a lot of fun."

 

"She's mischievous, too." Saeko added. "And a bit sadistic."

 

"Like you're one to talk." Rika said, rolling her eyes at Saeko's last statement.

 

Over the years since the group from Takanosu joined Fairy Tail, Saeko's overly violent and sadistic trait became known to the entire guild. However, no one really seemed to care, which surprised Saeko greatly. But the Fairy Tail wizards only thought: "We already have Laki, adding another one won't make a difference."

 

"Anyway, you guys don't need to worry about Naruto." Alfonzo said with a smile after Anko sat down, drawing the academy kids attention back to himself. "It's not like the Hokage will do anything bad to him, right?"

 

"Yeah, but why would he be called to the Hokage's office in the first place?" Shikamaru asked with a slight frown. "I mean, if he got called there, it must be important, right? I just can't think of what it could be. *Sigh* What a drag..."

 

"It's probably because he did something stupid." Sakura said in an exasperated tone. "I bet he took one of his pranks too far and now the Hokage is scolding him for it."

 

"Well, that wouldn't be the first time." Ino said while shaking her head. "But this time, it seemed different. Like, Iruka-Sensei didn't seem angry or upset when he told Naruto to go to the Hokage's office."

 

"Maybe he did something good." Choji said as he reached into a bag of snacks.

 

"There's no point in thinking about it." Sasuke spat out in an annoyed tone. "We can just ask him the next time we see him."

 

With that, all the academy kids, other than Sasuke opened their eyes wide in surprise as they stared at Sasuke. Meanwhile, Sasuke maintained his normal grumpy and aloof expression. However, the longer his classmates stared at him, the more annoyed he became.

 

"What are you all looking at?" Sasuke asked sharply.

 

"I didn't know you could speak so many words at a time.' Kiba said in an amazed tone.

 

"*Bark" Akamaru barked in agreement while nodding his head.

 

"It's weird to see you so curious about someone else's affairs, Sasuke." Shikamaru said in a bored tone. "I didn't know you cared so much about Naruto."

 

"I don't." Sasuke replied. "But I was tired of hearing all of you talk about it. All I was saying is if you want to know, you should just ask."

 

"You know, tsundere boys are kinda gross, Sasuke." Alfonzo said, cutting into the conversation.

 

Alfonzo's statement caused the group of youngsters to look at him with dumbfounded expressions. A moment later, however, all their expressions changed into various new ones.

 

While Shino's expression did not change much, the corners of his lips, which were hidden behind the collar of his jacket, curled up slightly. At the same time, Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba all had to hold themselves back from bursting into laughter. Meanwhile, Ino and Sakura looked as if they wanted to say that Sasuke looked cool no matter how he's acting. And finally, Hinata looked as if she did not know what to do or say.

 

Sasuke, on the other hand, was glaring at Alfonzo with all his might. In fact, Alfonzo was curious to know if Sasuke's Sharingan would activate and gain more tomoe thanks to the anger he could see on the boy's face.

 

Unfortunately, that did not happen, which disappointed Alfonzo a little. However, he did not let that disappointment show on his face.

 

"Anyway, why don't we head outside and start you all's training?" Alfonzo asked, not letting Sasuke's glare disrupt his pace. "And I've got a surprise for you, Sasuke and Sakura."

 

Hearing that, Sasuke and Sakura looked at Alfonzo quizzically. Though, Sasuke did so while still maintaining his glare. However, Alfonzo did not elaborate. He would wait until they were outside for that.

 

So, Alfonzo stood from the couch under the curious gazes of the ninja academy students then walked out of the room at an unhurried pace. Naturally, that led the rest of the people in the living room to follow him in curiosity, even Anko, who was not actually a part of this whole situation.

 

Eventually, the group reached the backyard of the mansion where Alfonzo had set up a temporary training ground for his nine frequent visitors. But don't let the word temporary fool you. Everything in the backyard was created with Alfonzo's magic. So, he could make and remove it all at will. On top of that, it was ridiculously sturdy.

 

"Will you tell us what you were talking about already?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

 

"You really need to chill out, Sasuke." Alfonzo said with a smile. A moment later, however, he changed his expression to a serious one. "Remember what I told you, you have to hold the reins on your emotions. Otherwise, you're liable to make mistakes."

 

Knowing what Alfonzo said was right, Sasuke took a deep breath to calm down. He was still a little upset over Alfonzo making fun of him. So, he was letting his emotions speak for him.

 

After Sasuke calmed down, Alfonzo looked towards Sakura.

 

"Sakura, I know you you're not gonna like hearing this." Alfonzo said in a solemn tone. "But you are objectively the weakest of all those gathered here."

 

Hearing that, Sakura frowned. However, she did not refute Alfonzo's words.

 

"But that's not your fault." Alfonzo continued. "Because of your background, you have less magic power than the others. And there really isn't anything you can do about that other than putting in more effort than others."

 

With that, Sakura lowered her head and clenched her fists in frustration.

 

"But you do have an advantage that the others don't." Alfonzo said, causing Sakura to raise her head. "Because of your low magic power reserves, you have an easier time controlling your magic power. And you far surpass everyone else in magic power control."

 

This time, all the other children frowned at Alfonzo's words. However, none of them could refute them. So, they all waited to see where he was going with his speech.

 

"And that superb magic power control makes you quite suitable for a certain skillset." Alfonzo said, his speech coming to its final stage. "And that's a medical ninja."

 

Hearing that, Sakura's eyes lit up. Then, she glanced at Sasuke with determination.

 

'Cha! If I become a medical ninja, I'll always be able to make sure Sasuke is healthy.' Sakura thought to herself while fist pumping internally. 'There's no way he won't become mine after that.'

 

"And as it just so happens, I have a great teacher for you." Alfonzo said with a smile. Then, he turned his attention to Wendy, who took a step forward with her own smile on her face. "I know we already did the introductions the other day, but allow me to reintroduce Wendy Marvell, a student of Tsunade, the best Medical Ninja on the continent."

 

That new information completely flabbergasted the eight academy students. Tsunade was a living legend in the village, after all. Without her, the Village Hidden in the Leaves would have more than likely lost the Second Great Ninja War. But thanks to Tsunade coming up with counters to the Village Hidden in the Sand's various poisons, the Leaf was able to come out on top.

 

"I'd be happy to teach you for as long as I'm here, if you're willing to learn, that is." Wendy said gently.

 

"Of course I am!" Sakura shouted enthusiastically as she bowed at the waist.

 

"Wendy, will you be teaching her the same way that crazy woman taught you?" Carla asked in a curious tone.

 

"*Sigh* Unfortunately, Master Tsunade's teaching methods are the most efficient way to teach a battle field medic that I can think of." Wendy replied in a sad tone. "I really hope she doesn't give up half way."

 

After hearing Wendy and Carla's short conversation, Sakura started having second thoughts. And Anko's gaze filled with pity was not helping. But her desire to make sure Sasuke was safe made her resolve strong. So, she did not back out in the end.

 

Nodding in satisfaction, Alfonzo then turned his attention towards Sasuke.

 

"As for you, Sasuke." Alfonzo said in a solemn tone. "Your speed and flexibility in combat make you a powerful hand to hand fighter. However, I think it would aid you even more if you trained with a sword."

 

Hearing that, Sasuke stopped to think for a moment. The Uchiha Clan had a fairly famous sword technique. And there were more than a few accomplished swordsmen in the clan in the past. So, he could understand where Alfonzo was coming from. However, he had no experience wielding a sword. Nor did he have anyone to teach him. So, he felt it would take too long to master.

 

"And as it just so happens, one of the continents best pure swordsmen… Or rather, swordswomen is currently visiting the village right now."

 

With that, Saeko stepped forward while [Requipping] her sword onto her left hip and resting her left hand on its hilt.

 

"This is Saeko Busujima, daughter of the reigning champion of Ishgar's highest-level swordsmanship competition." Alfonzo continued. "And she's been training under him for as long as she could hold a sword. On top of that, after awakening her magic power, she's even developed her own sword style, one that heavily relies on speed and precision."

 

As Alfonzo said, after awakening her magic power and joining Fairy Tail, Saeko began modifying her father's sword style to suit a wizard. However, after realizing just how much she could do with magic power, she decided to create her own sword style.

 

Unfortunately, as a result of focusing mostly on creating this sword style, her magic power reserves have not risen as quickly as the others from Takanosu. So, her magic power reserves were only on the verge of reaching A-Class. Whereas Saya and Kohta had already attained the reserves of A-Class wizards.

 

Even so, thanks to her swordsman ship, Ur had already declared Saeko an A-Class wizard. So, she had not fallen too far behind her old school mates.

 

Also, Saeko was not alone in creating her sword style. Alfonzo and Elicia, with their "creativity," also gave her quite a few ideas. And thanks to help from Alfonzo, Elicia, Erza, and Sun, the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, or Flying Heavens Sword Style was born in this world.

 

Hearing that, Sasuke began to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of fighting with a sword. However, when he thought that it might catch his brother off guard when she finally went to get his revenge, Sasuke's decision was made in an instant.

 

"As long as it can make me stronger, I'm willing to learn anything." Sasuke said in a strong tone. "Please teach me how to use a sword."

 

Instead of replying immediately, Saeko looked Sasuke up and down. Then, she [Requipped a second katana into her right hand before tossing it at Sasuke. This katana was only a training sword, but it would serve its purpose.

 

"Before I accept teaching you, I need to see if Alfonzo was right." Saeko said in a serious tone just as Sasuke caught the sword she threw at him. "I need to determine if you are truly suited to the way of the sword. Now, follow me. I'll test you right away."

 

With that, Saeko turned around and started walking away from the rest of the group without even waiting for Sasuke to reply. However, Sasuke did not waste any time following her, either.

 

"I guess we should start, too." Wendy said after seeing Saeko and Sasuke off. "come on, Sakura, let's get started."

 

Instead of walking to another part of the backyard, Wendy headed towards the house with Carla following her. She would start Sakura off the same way Tsunade did with her. And she had bought extra copies of all the books she was made to study, just for this occasion.

 

Naturally, Sakura was confused. Still, she followed Wendy and Carla inside. After the training started, however, Sakura would think that Wendy was some kind of demon. Little would she know, however, everything she would learn from Wendy over the next six months, or so,, Wendy had to learn in only one month from Tsunade.

 

After Wendy, Carla, Saeko, Sasuke, and Sakura left, Alfonzo began training the other kids, who were more than a bit envious that Sasuke and Sakura would be learning something unique. Well, everyone other than Shikamaru, who was okay with things the way they are now.

 

Meanwhile, Anko and Rika sat on the veranda watching the kids train while chatting animatedly as Miyuki served them tea and snacks. So, they were the first ones to see Naruto approaching However, the normally energetic boy looked lost, confused, and sad. And when he finally arrived, he walked up to Alfonzo with his head lowered.

 

Unfortunately, thanks to the swirl of emotions in Naruto's heart, he was unable to start the conversation.

 

"Come on, Naruto." Alfonzo said in a soothing tone as he patted Naruto on the head. "Let's go inside and talk. I bet you got a lot of shit to get off your chest."

 

With that, Alfonzo turned to Rika and asked her to take over training the other six kids. Then, he led Naruto into the house so they could talk in private.
