Chapter 37

Grinding Sword and Chain

It's been 3 weeks since the day Naruto took Kagura, Loke and Sirius to train them and they are doing well.

Naruto didn't hear anything about his and Laxus's spar from the guild, so he assumed the blonde lightning mage didn't speak about it to anyone.

That's to his benefit as well, as he doesn't need to deal with the guild and mainly the Master. Naruto knew how pissed off Makarov would be if he knew of this so he decided to not see a gift horse in the mouth.

Kagura's training was coming along nicely and she has the gall to mock him into teaching her how to control her magic. Naruto had to train her ground up in it and it was fun. He was surprised by her progress though. He didn't expect she could become that strong in just 3 weeks and appreciated it.

Flashback

"Why run around? Are you afraid that one of the attacks will connect?" Kagura mocked as she tried to hit the fast-moving blonde.

"Heh. You are a decade too young to hit me. Try your best and we will see." Naruto replied and that pushed her to change tactics.

"Gravity Magic: Earth," she called, creating an unbearable downward pressure on Naruto, trying to lock him in place and attack him with her sword drawn.

Naruto used his Earth Style to lighten his weight and when she was about to strike, moved. The attack damaged the area he was in and left a large slash.

But before she could react, he was behind her, with his sword on her neck. "Surrender," he called and Kagura sheathed her sword.

"That's a new move you didn't show me." She pointed as she turned.

"I didn't expect you to use your Gravity magic as well. Why do you stick to one spell? Why not use the various ones I taught you?" He asked curiously.

"I don't want to use them unless needed. Archenemy is more than enough." She strictly said and moved to a tree to rest.

"Thank you for the training. It is very enlightening and beneficial." She thanked and closed her eyes, sitting in the shade.

"What should I say? I'm impressed or keep it up?" He asked rhetorically but didn't get any reply.

Flashback End

Her attitude and the way she took things changed to some extent, being in the hyperactive blonde's company for 3 weeks non-stop, but she still sticks to that no-nonsense strict persona.

While her training was going on well, Loke didn't stop his pestering and Naruto decided to deal with it once and for all. That match was entertaining to the blonde and Sirius.

Few days Ago

"Really? You will allow me to train with Kagura?" Loke asked with heart eyes as Naruto gave in to his pestering.

"Yes, but on one condition." He said with a serious face which made the celestial spirit raise an eyebrow in suspicion.

"I am not the one who came up with it. It's her suggestion." Naruto shrugged. Loke nodded resolutely and Naruto continued.

"She wants to have her peace and doesn't want you pestering people if you lose," Naruto said, trying in his best imitation of Kagura's stern face.

Loke knew Kagura couldn't say that many words in one go, but against all odds, he believed and agreed to it. He resolutely walked in front of her.

To the side, both father and son sat, waiting for the match with excitement. They wanted to see how Kagura dealt with Loke and vice versa and so they sat on a tree to the side and watched with bated breath.

"Ok, yielding or knocking out the opponents ends the match. Begin!" Naruto said from the tree.

Immediately, before Loke's mouth could form any words, a downward pressure fell upon him. Though he stood strong at first, he couldn't bear it.

"Chai-Chain Dome," he wheezed, his chains forming a dome around him. But much to his dismay, his chains didn't help. Due to the chains being made of much thicker material, they buckled to the gravity and increased the force on him.

"I can, can do it!" Loke pushed himself, using his Ring magic this time, creating a Twister in the affected area. To his elation, it worked.

A blast of wind was sent towards Kagura and it didn't show any signs of stopping, not even buckling under her pressure. So she pulled her sword and slashed towards the Twister, dispersing it harmlessly.

"Yield," she said, pointing the tip of her sword at Loke's neck only for a chain to pull her towards him.

"Binding Chain Prison," Loke called, his chains forming around Kagura, restricting her movement and binding her hands. Much to her dismay, they are so fast that she didn't have time to swing her sword to generate a shockwave.

"Chain Kunai," Loke called, creating a Kunai out of chains and pointing it towards Kagura's neck. But he forgot something, his chains are binding, but they don't affect users' magic.

And so when he was reaching her neck, a strong gravity force pushed him backwards, taking him through trees and releasing Kagura from her chain bindings.
