Chapter 18 peace and quiet.

"Settle down!" Naruto ordered as he wrote the topic of the day on the board. He elaborated on it and asked if there were any questions. Receiving none, He noticed the new girl and Hyoudou weren't in class today. The resident devils were also missing… How strange.

Naruto didnt give it much thought and summed it up to devil business. The rest of the day went by in a flash… boring and uneventful.

(Scene change: Uzumaki Mansion)

Naruto dropped on the long couch in his house with a sigh. He laid his head on the armrest and his legs were on the other one.

Finally… Some peace and quiet.

His leisure time was interrupted by a certain woman who appeared via magic circle, on top of him, rubbing her face on his chest.

Naruto sighed again this time in exasperation.

There goes his peace and quiet.

"Naruto-kun, let's make babies nya~" she said as she tried to unfasten his buttons.

He took hold of her wrist and directed an emotionless stare at her. "What's up with you and wanting babies?" he asked.

"I want to have strong babies so I can repopulate my clan," she answered honestly.

Naruto grabbed her by the waist and lifted her off him like a baby and dropped her beside him.

"What kind of youkai are you?"

"A Nekoshou, a rare species of Nekomata," she answered.

"So are you a Nekoshou or Nekomata? Get straight to the point."

Kuroka facepalmed at Naruto.

"Are you the last of your kind?" he inquired.

"No, I have a little sister," Kuroka answered. Naruto hummed at that. "She actually attends the same school you teach at."

Naruto was surprised at that bit of information. A youkai was in that school? What's next? Angels? Fallen angels?

"Is her name perhaps Nekoko? Haineko? No it's, it's..." Narruto struggled with her name.

"Koneko?" Kuroka raises her eyebrow taking a guess for the blonde.

"Yes! That's it!" He nodded.

Kuroka's mood dampened and her eyes glistened with unshed tears and her miserable look was augmented when her cat ears deflated.

"You guys have history?" Naruto asked.

Kuroka sniffed as she told him about her childhood and how she had to become a reincarnated devil in order to protect her little sister. She told him about how she killed her king and became a SS-Class criminal to keep her sister safe.

Naruto listened to it all without moving an inch. Her sacrifices reminded him of Itachi and she was making the same mistake he did back then.

"Hn, You remind me of someone I once knew. He killed off his entire clan to protect his village and above all, his little brother."

Kuroka's eyes went wide in shock when she heard what Naruto said.

"He manipulated his brother to hate him and that hate drove his brother to madness. He backstabbed his friends, joined a criminal organization and even abandoned his own village for power to defeat his brother." Naruto said with a serious face. "To be honest with you, all the cool guys I know were criminals," He remembered people like Nagato, Zabuza, Itachi, Obito, and even Madara..

"Don't push your little sister away, Kuroka. She deserves to know the sacrifice you made for her." Naruto used her name for the first time.

Kuroka wiped off her tears as she stared at him in awe. Who knew the blonde had a side to him like this.

"Thank you, Naruto," she thanked him for understanding and using her name for the first time.

(The next day)

Naruto entered the living room expecting to see Kuroka's sleeping form but found a note on the table. 'I have important business to attend to nya~ PS: Don't miss me too much Naruto-kun.' He scoffed when he read it. "Who's gonna miss you, you stupid-cat." he dropped the letter on the table and went out.

Naruto was on one of the dense trees inside a forest far from Kuoh. He decided to skip school today and purify nature energy today. He found a good spot and began mediating.

(Flashback)

It's been a month since Naruto's fight with Daisuke and ever since then, he's been trying to escape the Hero Faction who kept sending other people after him, mostly pawns in large numbers. They always seem to know where he was holed in no matter how good of a hiding place it was.

He was inside a fortified forest which has served as his home for two weeks now. He ate different fruits from the trees around and rabbits for source of meat. The Bijūs were still in their slumber and he hadn't found a way home. All he did was hone his skills and learn new ones.

He even had different groups of clones working on Katon and Suiton jutsus he remembered from memory.

He had tried to summon the Toads from back at home but no matter how much chakra he pumped into it, only the intricate, dark pattern appeared.

No poof of smoke.

No giant, orange toads.

No space-time ninjutsu achieved.

He was really angry that day so he tried to summon them again and again and again before he was tired. He tried reverse summoning but unfortunately, he couldn't reverse summon himself.

When he tried to, he was pushed back violently as it felt like his body was disintegrating cell by cell. His tired form lay down on the clearing as he watched the clouds slowly drift off.

He cursed his luck and punched a mini crater on the floor in exasperation. He tried to summon again but this time, his Rinnegan activated.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

Poof!

Naruto stared on at the massive cloud of smoke, hope surprise and expectation etched into his face.

An enormous three-headed dog stood in front of Naruto dampening his mood instantly. Allghe excitement, down the drain.

He sighed and dispelled the dog.

Talking about the Rinnegan, Naruto's Rinnegan was different, he could use all six paths. He hadn't explored this new Rinnegan yet due to the fact that he hadn't mastered the base Rinnegan Abilities.

He could control up to four clones to harness the chakra in Nature's energy which wasn't abundant like in the elemental Nations. Something else was in the air.

It took a lot of meditation to enter Sage Mode once again. He was even tempted to use Gakido to absorb chakra from nature one time but he changed his mind because of his pride as a sage.
