Fighting Kakashi was intense, and I wasn't sure I could beat him without relying on bigger firepower. I also had to keep spamming my >observe< and >EOTR< to keep up. This is the reason I went to Naruto.

Now you might say I could have played it safe and picked up something of a smaller scale, but that means I won't be able to improve. This was one world that had a high chance of killing me if I'm not careful, but it also comes with one bonus. I can use my powers without worry, unlike most worlds where I had to come up with a backstory that can convince everyone. Here, in a world filled with lies and deceit, I can make as much bullshit as much as I can without worry since they were outdated.

I was a complete shadow of darkness that no one will figure out.

Anyway, I was heading to Naruko's school when I bumped into someone and it was none other than Mikoto Uchiha. I've read enough fanfictions to know what I was being presented with considering this an H-version of Naruto.

A. Woo, the Uchiha matriarch, and clap those Uchiha cheeks

B. Save the Uchiha and get a harem of Uchiha cheeks.

C. Let the plot flow.

Of course, she noticed me staring, and I noticed how her eyes went down to my package. MY ABS FOOL! anyway, I didn't want to look like a creep so I went into pose mode and started flexing my muscles.

All I got was a raised eyebrow before she turned around and left me.

*Denied*

Way to rub it in >System< bad enough that I made myself look like a clown. You just had to rub it in my face. Either way looks like it's going to be a while before Itachi does his mission.

Resuming my stroll to the academy, I came across some of the other characters of the franchise, mainly the clans. Five days won't be enough to change the outcome of this fight. Well, unless I cheat a little, opening the >Shop< I scanned for anything that can help me fix Naruko's brawler style. It wasn't expensive but also it was up to Naruko's skill to make it work.

Arriving just in time for the spar, I watched the kids fight, and it wasn't much but what you expect from kids. It was even hilarious when I saw two kids pulling each other's hair.

Then came Naruko and Sasuke's round. I called to the little blond and her expression of annoyance and jealousy changed into happiness and excitement. The kid rushed towards me and barraged me with questions.

I made sure none would see what I was doing when I implanted the skill inside Naruko's core. "Zander-nii?" The young blond asked. Kneeling at her level, I placed my hand on her shoulder and said. "Okay, Naruko, I'm going to be honest with you. You have no chance against Sasuke. Five days of my training isn't gonna change that."

She flinched at my words, but I continued. "However, that doesn't mean you can't give him a run for his money. So play smart, not hard. When you punch and kick, don't think just punch or kick. When you dodge, don't think, feel it." I know I just butchered Bruce Lee's philosophy, but in my defense, Naruko is a natural who doesn't have anyone to train her.

/Naruko/

I gave a nod before going back to the ring. Zander-nii's words of advice kept repeating inside my head. Fight smart, not hard. Sasuke gave me a cocky smirk. Ooh, I'm going to enjoy wiping it off his face.

When Iruka-sensei gave the signal, I stopped myself from doing my usual move. Instead, I got into the boxing stance that Zander-nii taught me. Sasuke's confusion made me smile.

I can see everyone becoming confused by my stance. Their whispering and confusion made me excited, but I calmed down as Zander-nii told me not to get cocky just because I know how to throw a punch.

The two of us stood still with Sasuke taunting me, but I only responded with a 'come at me'. Sasuke rushes in and throws a couple of punches. I raised my arms and blocked most of them.

I didn't think when I attacked or defended, but it was weird like my body had a mind of its own.

When I saw an opening I took it, narrowly missing Sasuke's chin. I quickly rushed in and threw a few punches before blocking a kick. It surprised me when I saw the bruises on his arms.

Again I rushed in and threw another combo, but Sasuke saw through it and countered me. I can't dodge it in time, but so what? I stepped forward slightly, lowering my head and letting his fist hit my forehead.

Sasuke cried out in pain and held his arm. But this was all that I needed. With a powerful punch, the duck butt was out of the ring.

No one spoke a word until Alizander made a battle cry. "WRYYYY! Way to go kid," He cackled before clapping.

"No way she beat him."

"Troublesome blond."

"Sasuke-kun."

"She knocked him out."

"Itachi's brother lost to that..."

"N-naruko-chan."

Whispers of denial erupted from the crowd while Alizander went to the jailer of Kyuubi and ruffled her hair. "Zander-nii, I WON!" She grins. Alizander grinned back and lifted her. "Yup, you sure did. You prove me wrong, kid. Let's celebrate at the Ichiraku's later." Alizander smiled.

"Mm, can you teach more?" Naruko asked, earning a brief chuckle. "Of course."

Alizander gently placed the young girl on the ground before realizing that everyone was looking at him. "What? Is there something on my face?" He asked. Mikoto was the first one to approach him with her Sharingan active, but his >Observe< picked up her surprise before it vanished.

"Who are you?" She asked with a frown.

"Alizander Cygnus, tourist, pleased to meet ya." He answered.

Hearing his name made her calm down and shut off her eye technique. "I see, so it's you." She whispered before giving a slight bow. "Thank you for keeping her safe." She said.

"Nah, I was just doing what a decent man does." He shrugged before walking to Sasuke, who was carried by Iruka. Using >Alchemy Manipulation< to heal his wounds before doing the same with Naruko, which surprised everyone.

Just who was this man?

The man was a complete enigma. Most of the clan heads had heard of this man but couldn't find anything about him and his clan. They never heard of a shinobi bearing his name, but his bizarre jutsu and bloodline technique was an eye-catcher.

From what they heard, the ability to cast jutsu without hand signs was only something few can do. Then there's also what they heard about him not having any chakra. What a laugh. Surely it was a jutsu to remain undetected, but when the Hyūga and Uchiha used their eye techniques, they were surprised.

How was this possible? How can someone live without chakra?

Then they heard him training the jinchuriki. If this results from only five days of training, what kind of monster would he create if he had more time? Alizander was an enigma they cannot solve and a dangerous one.

Watching the man leave without a care in the world was mind-boggling. Did he not realize what his actions incur? Does he truly think he is invincible?

Alizander was only excited, for the day had come. The Blue beast of Konoha has arrived and he couldn't wait to learn Guy's movesets.
