Gimme the Loot! Gimme the Loot!

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

June, x787. 

After helping Sasuke set up the barrier to keep the eyes of his deceased clansmen safe, Alfonzo returned to the temporary residence. When he arrived, he noticed that everyone seemed to be in their rooms. So, he went straight to the master bedroom. And just as expected, he found Elicia lying in the bed. Though, she was not asleep yet. 

"Hey, Lici." Alfonzo said after entering the bedroom. "I knew you'd still be awake." 

"Of course I am." Elicia said with a smile. "I wanna know what happened after you left to get Danzo." 

Smiling in response, Alfonzo started taking off his clothes. 

"Alright, I'll tell you all about it after I take a shower." Alfonzo replied. 

"Okay~." Elicia said, the anticipation evident in her tone. 

With that, Alfonzo finished getting undressed. Then, he made his way into the master bedroom and jumped in the shower. And after about fifteen minutes, he came out dressed for bed before turning off the lights. 

Climbing into bed, Alfonzo snuggled up behind Elicia, who was lying on her side, and wrapped his arms around her waist, very gently. 

"Now, hurry up!" Elicia exclaimed excitedly. "Tell me what happened." 

Once again smiling at his wife's enthusiasm, Alfonzo told Elicia everything that happened after he left the house. How he basically robbed Danzo of everything in the base's records room. Howe he stalked Danzo after that. And especially, how he enjoyed the look on Danzo's face when he found out he had become a wanted man. 

"I wish I could have seen that." Elicia muttered with a pout. "I bet it was hilarious." 

"*Sigh* Yeah, it was glorious." Alfonzo said with a fond smile on his face. "And guess what, you can see it." 

"Huh?" Elicia exclaimed in confusion as she turned her head back towards Alfonzo. 

A moment later, Elicia saw an [Archive Magic] screen pop into existence. Then, she felt the image of Danzo's shocked face appear in her mind. And as soon as it did, she could not help but burst into a fit of giggles. 

"Hehehe. I'm so glad you learned [Archive Magic]." Elicia said while trying to get her giggling fit under control. "Even if you didn't make cell phones with it, this picture makes it all worth it." 

Once again smiling at Elicia's enthusiasm, Alfonzo was about to get back to the story. However, Elicia brought up another topic before he could. 

"Speaking of the cell phones… I mean lPhones, they'll be going on sale soon, right?" Elicia asked. 

"Yeah, Marin's dad will be making the announcement during the first day of the Grand Magic Games." Alfonzo replied. "He'll actually be a guest commentator for part of the day's events." 

"Really?" Elicia asked in a surprised tone. "Does Marin know?" 

"Nope." Alfonz replied while smiling mischievously. "I thought it would be a nice surprise for her." 

"Hehe… I can hear her now." Elicia said while giggling. Then, she did her best impression of Marin. "Tch! Look at him trying to be cool in front of all these people. He's way too plain for that." 

Hearing that, Alfonzo could not help but laugh along. Then, after his laughter died down, he got back to telling his story. And from that point on, the story was the same as the one she heard from Irene. The difference was that it was from Alfonzo's perspective. Alfonzo also added his conversation with Hiruzen after getting back to the village. 

"Then, when I walked out of the Hokage Tower," Alfonzo said, wrapping up his story. "Kakashi showed up. Along the way, we ran into Sasuke and I told him I had something to show him. Then, we came back and I made breakfast." 

"Yeah, you definitely had a long night." Elicia said as she reached back over her shoulder and touched Alfonzo's cheek. "Aren't you tired? I mean, you didn't even get a nap since you woke up yesterday." 

" A little." Alfonzo replied. "But you know me, I'll be fine. I don't really need all that much sleep." 

"Good." Elicia said. "Then, you can be the one to get up on late night diaper duty." 

"I don't have a problem with that." Alfonzo said with a smile. "You'll still have to get up to feed them, though. Then, again, maybe this will help you wake up on your own, though." 

"*Sigh* Don't' remind me." Elicia said in a distraught tone. "I already made my peace with the fact that I won't get to sleep so peacefully when I told you I wanted a baby. But you don't have to say it out loud." 

Alfonzo chuckled as he hugged Elicia a little tighter. 

"Anyway, you haven't told me about the most important part of last night's adventure." Elicia said as she turned around in Alfonzo's arms. Then, when she was looking into his eyes, she continued. "The loot! What kind of goodies did you find in Danzo's base? And I'm not talking about all the Sharingan you gave to Sasuke. And I don't' care about all the evidence you gave to Hiruzen. Tell me about the good stuff!" 

"I was wondering how long it would take you to ask about that." Alfonzo said while smiling brightly. "And I gotta say, you took much longer than I expected." 

"Whatever~." Elicia replied while rolling her eyes. "Just tell me." 

"Alright, alright, take it easy." Alfonzo said with a smile. Then, after taking a deep breath, he continued. "I got a copy of every Jutsu present in the Village Hidden in the Leaves." 

Hearing that, Elicia's eyes widened n surprise. Then, they began to sparkle like stars. 

"ON top of that, I got all the magic power training methods from the academy level, all the way to the stuff the elite members of the Anbu use. In other words…" 

"Wall walking and water walking!" Elicia exclaimed excitedly. "Nature transformation training, too!" 

"Yeah, pretty much." Alfonzo replied. "And although those things don't really mean much to me since I can fly and control more than just an element, I thought you'd really like them." 

In fact, with Elicia's magic power control, both tree walking and water walking from Naruto should be within her grasp. However, because of the fact that she still identifies this world as a Fairy Tail world, she never considered trying it out for herself. And when she does, she'll end up wanting to kick herself after realizing how easy it was. 

Instead of responding verbally, Elicia pulled Alfonzo into a kiss. Then, after kissing him on the lips, she repeatedly kissed him all over his face. 

"Even better than that…" Alfonzo said while Elicia continued to kiss him. "… you'll be able to learn how to use [Shadow Clones], too. So, you'll never fall behind on your tailor work, ever again." 

Hearing that, Elicia froze for a moment. Then, she pulled Alfonzo into another kiss, the happiness she showed with this kiss was clear for anyone to see. 

"Hurry up and teach me." Elicia demanded excitedly. 

"Nope, we're gonna start with the basics." Alfonzo replied. "I'm pretty sure our magic power control is precise enough. Still, the first thing I'm gonna teach you is their magic power control and the hand signs." 

Elicia pouted in response. However, she knew that was the best move. Still, she wanted to do all kinds of cool Ninjutsu just like she saw in the Naruto manga and anime. 

"But we don't need to learn the hand signs. Alfonzo added. "Instead, we just need to memorize how they make our magic power move in our bodies. That way, we can perform any Jutsu we want without using the hand signs." 

"Oh, I get it." Elicia said in a tone of realization. "and that way, no one will know we're even using Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, right?" 

"That's right." Alfonzo replied. "And no one will know we have the information that we're not supposed to have. Especially since I gave all the scrolls with all this stuff in it back to Hiruzen." 

"Haha! [Archive Magic] for the win." Elicia said happily. 

"Damn right." Alfonzo said with a smile. "Anyway, let's go to sleep. I'll transfer all the training methods to you tomorrow morning. Then, you can experiment with them… No, never mind." 

"Huh? What do you mean?" Elicia asked in a confused tone. 

"I'm not transferring this information to you until the baby is born." Alfonzo said sternly. 

"What? Why~~~~~~?" Elicia asked in a whiny tone. 

"Because you'll definitely overdo it in your excitement." Alfonzo explained. "And Ikaruga definitely won't be able to stop you. And Irene, instead of stopping you, would ask you what you're training. Then, she would ask you to teach her too so she could analyze it." 

Elicia wanted to argue. But Alfonzo's predictions were so accurate that she did not even know where to start. So, instead of starting an argument she knew she could not win, she chose to pout at Alfonzo as hard as she could to make her dissatisfaction known. 

Ignoring Elicia's pouting, Riot trying to convince him to give Elicia what she wanted, Bedlam calling Riot a simp, and the fight that resulted from Bedlam's comment, Alfonzo closed his eyes. Then before long, he drifted off into the land of dreams. And when Elicia realized he was sleep, she, too, closed her eyes and fell asleep. 

The next day started like any other day. Alfonzo woke up shortly after sunrise. Then, he got out of bed and went to the backyard to train until it was time to get cleaned up and make breakfast. Around that time, Elicia woke up thanks to the smell of the food. 

After breakfast, Alfonzo met Kakashi outside his door. And went to work on the training grounds. However, after the work day ended is when Alfonzo's usual routine changed. Instead of going back to his residence, he went to see Hiruzen in his office. He needed to discuss how he, Elicia, Ikaruga, and Irene would be compensated for the attacks, after all. 

When Alfonzo was allowed into Hiruzen's office, the only thing he could see were stacks of paper all over the office. In fact, Hiruzen could not even be seen behind his desk thanks to all the paper that was piled up on it. 

"Damn, what happened in here?' Alfonzo asked in a cheeky tone. "Looks like you've really fallen behind on your paperwork." 

Though he could not see him, Alfonzo was certain that Hiruzen was glaring at him with all his might. And the intensity was so strong that if he was not careful, Hiruzen might burn holes in the stacks of paperwork on his desk. 

"Alright, I'm sorry." Alfonzo said while raising his hands disarmingly. "I just couldn't help myself." 

"*Sigh* The worst thing is, even if you were one of my shinobi, I wouldn't be able to punish you for your rudeness." Hiruzen said after a moment, his words accompanied by a cloud of smoke rising from behind all the paperwork. "You're so good at what you do, I wouldn't wanna annoy you over something so trivial. I mean seriously, you tracked down Danzo, who I'm not even sure my best Anbu would be able to find if he didn't want to be, in one night. Then, you defeated him and his hundred subordinates single-handedly. *Sigh* I'm just glad you're not the Leaf's enemy." 

"What can I say." Alfonzo said with a smile while shrugging his shoulders. "I was trained by some of the best." 

In the next instant, Alfonzo's prideful attitude disappeared completely as he continued. 

"Anyway, that's enough with the small talk." Alfonzo continued in a solemn tone. "Now, I wanna know, how are you gonna compensate us for what happened the other day." 

"*Sigh* I was expecting this today." Hiruzen replied as he stood up. Then, he walked over to another table in his office. "Honestly, I don't really think there is much the village can give you. On top of that, you deserve a reward for bringing in one of our village's missing nin." 

Reaching that point, Hiruzen arrived in front of the table. And on top of that table was a storage scroll that he picked up. Then, he made his way to Alfonzo. And once he was in front of the younger man, Hiruzen spread out the scroll before pushing some of his magic power into it. 

In the next moment, from a cloud of smoke, a metal ingot and two other scrolls appeared that Hiruzen caught before they fell to the floor. 

Looking at the items in Hiruzen's hands, Alfonzo was naturally attracted to the ingot. And from what he could tell, it was a metal he had never seen before. 

"This is an ingot of Chakra Metal." Hiruzen said after noticing Alfonzo's focus on the metal ingot. "It's actually one of the village's strategic resources. It's just as magically conductive as mithril and as durable as black steel." 

Hearing that, Alfonzo could not keep his eyes from lighting up. Black steel is one of the more durable metals Alfonzo has ever had the pleasure of working with. In fact, it's durability was the whole reason Gajeel got his epitaph, since he's so hard to bring down. But when you add mithril's conductivity on top of that, you get one of the best metals in the world. 

As it turns out, mithril, despite its conductivity, is a quite weak metal. That's why, other than weapons that are meant to solely act as foci, mithril is almost always alloyed when crafting magic weapons. 

"As for these scrolls, they are an introduction to hand signs and an advanced magic power training manual." Hiruzen continued. "And when you leave, Kakashi will provide you with four pieces of Chakra Paper for you and your companions to check your elemental affinities. And once that is done, you, your wife, Miss Belserion, and Miss Ikaruga will each be allowed to learn one A-ranked Jutsu or lower from the village's Jutsu Library." 

Hearing that, Alfonzo opened his eyes wide in surprise before quickly accepting Hiruzen's compensation. 

'Good, now when Elicia inevitably starts using [Shadow Clones] we'll have an excuse.' Alfonzo thought to himself. 'On top of that, I should be able to start learning [Seals]. And when I come back, I might even start teaching Naruto. I mean, he's n Uzumaki. There's no way he doesn't have a talent for them.' 

After that, Alfonzo bid Hiruzen farewell. Then, he quickly made his way out of the Hokage Tower, where he met Kakashi, and headed back to his residence.
