"...She's treating her shuriken like her children..." Issei noted with a deadpanned expression.
"That's our Buchou!" Yuuto said with a cheerful smile.
Then the red-head spread her devil wings, soaring into the sky to mete our her vengeance.
"Ah! Wait, Rias-sempai!" Mio cried out, alarmed.
She was way too late however, much to her chagrin.
"Well...she may be a bit overzealous about this, but she has the right idea. We should back her up and end this quickly." the Sitri heiress stated, flaring her own wings to give chase.
No one objected to that.
The small forest that separated Kuoh Academy and the old school building was usually very serene. A place of introspection and beauty.
At least it was.
Now many of the trees were getting knocked down as if there was a bulldozer trying to make space for a new mall.
Instead of a vehicle however, it was a muscular man with a happy apple on his head.
The apple was currently chasing after the run-away frog, sometimes knocking trees down since the frog kept using their branches to evade it's opponent.
As the muscular man continued to try to force the amphibian to the ground, the green creature had already formed a plan to keep it's adversary down.
When the frog landed on the tree branches of another tree, the apple responded immediately by ramming said tree, weakening it's foundations to the point that it was going to tumble.
But as that was happening, the frog jumped away from the tree branch it was on to another tree, then quickly jumping back to the first tree using the gained momentum from it's jump. Smashing itself onto the first tree to control where it wanted the large plant to fall.
In this case, on the apple.
The apple wasn't immediately aware of what the frog was up to, but quickly figured it out when the shadow of the tree enveloped his form.
The tree impacted harshly against the ground, smashing the apple into the ground without mercy.
As the frog jumped away from the falling tree, it rebounded into another tree, angling itself in a way to push another tree to fall on top of the still-downed apple.
Then it did it again.
And again.
And again.
After the fifth tree being forced to fall onto the victim, the frog fell back to the ground, surveying the damage it has wrought.
...Did it go too far?
...
Nah, the bastard was tough, he can handle it. He was a devil after all.
Yep, ever since the man punched it square into that apartment building, a quick use of it's senses helped it deduce that he was a devil. A familiar one at that, but it couldn't place it's finger on who...
Nevertheless, it seems that the frog was the victor of this battle!
As the amphibian began to congratulate itself for a job well done, it quickly tilted it's head to the side, hearing movement nearby.
Someone was coming.
The person in question jumped out of the bushes, sharp yellow eyes assessing the situation and a katana in hand.
Those yellow eyes immediately fell onto the frog, shock quickly replacing focus in those orbs.
"...Naruto?" Yuki asked hesitantly, staring dead-center at the amphibian.
Naruto's eyes inside the suit widened, how did she...?
Blue eyes scanned around, trying to figure out where the hell the female came from, at the forest of all places!
Then he noticed, they were close to the back entrance of Kuoh Academy...
"Back entrance, the student council was preventing students from entering, so I came in this way." the hero answered, noticing her friend's wandering head. "More importantly though, why are you wearing that costume?"
Shit, damage control.
"Gama-tan!" the frog cried out cutely.
The hero continued to stare, blinking every now and again. "No...you're definitely Naruto."
The blond stayed silent, trying to stay firm with his cover, hoping that the female would give up her assertions.
But she stayed firm, narrowing her eyes at the silly costume that was standing on two feet.
...
...
...
"Fine! You win, yes...it's me." Naruto grumbled, throwing his hands up in the air.
Yuki merely gave him a small grin. "Of course I'm right. You don't need to tell me that."
The shinobi didn't reply, petulantly turning away. Way to ruin his fun.
"How'd you figure it out?"
Yuki raised an eyebrow. "Your stance. Your fighting stance hasn't changed since we've first met, so seeing someone wearing a frog costume gives me the impression that my friend is in said suit. That and no one fights with such...extravagance."
Naruto blinked at that, shit, that actually sounded pretty smart. It was sometimes hard to reconcile the socially awkward girl in front of him with the warrior.
Then again, was he really that different?
Behind the blond, the trees which held down his adversary began to shake violently, as if someone was trying to shake off their weight.
The shinobi clicked his tongue. "Shit...looks I got to beat him up again...the guy is stubborn alright."
As Naruto turned around to face his opponent, he felt the hero place her hand on his shoulder, fist slowly clamping down harder.
Uh...
"Naruto...? The student council wouldn't let people in because someone was vandalizing the school...it wouldn't have something to do you, would it...?" Yuki asked quietly, eyes sharp and unrelenting.
The blond huffed. "Of course not, when I fought with the apple-guy, we only broke a couple of windows, desks, a ceiling, and a few trees. That ain't too bad, right? More than that, can't Sona-kaichou and Rias just erase the memory of everyone who saw us? No harm, no foul I say!"
Yuki tilted her head, lips thinning slightly. Did he really not notice how many people saw this entire charade? Possibly...he could be kind of dense at times. But surely he wasn't unaware of the damage that was done to the school itself?
"So let me get this straight then, you fought with this...man, then you damaged school property throughout your fight, possibly scared a lot of students...but you think it's alright?" the hero asked slowly.
Naruto began to sweat slightly at the methodical breakdown of his actions. "Well...when you put it like that..."
