The Legacy of the Most Unpredictable Ninja

CHAPTER 2

As Naruto stared at Nonaka's blade, he had to remind himself of something vitally important.

Something that he would definitely forget if he didn't remind himself constantly.

It was a simple fact that most people wouldn't really think too much about, and something that Naruto was forced to think about ever since he realized that he wasn't anywhere near the Elemental Nations anymore.

He was, without a doubt, a ninjutsu specialist.

Now most people would think that this wasn't vital information, that this was more of a bit of trivia rather than anything truly important.

Well they would be wrong.

Ninjutsu, in it's purest form, was a ninja art that was geared towards the destruction of the enemy.

It was, in every shape and form, all based on destroying the enemy by overpowering or overwhelming them.

Ninjutsu was rarely, if ever, truly subtle or quiet.

The fact that Kakashi-sensei's 'assassination' ninjutsu was a lightning attack that was as plain as Naruto's orange clothing should be more than enough evidence of that.

But more importantly; why does any of this matter?

Well, that's because Naruto really didn't want to gather attention to himself.

Ninjutsu would make him stand out like a sore thumb, drawing attention to himself thanks to ninjutsu's destructive capacity...and stuff.

That basically meant; no rasengans or any of their variants were allowed, or even too many clones, since too many copies of one person were bound to draw people's attention.

Even while learning more about the world, he only had so many copies roaming the streets, while giving them different looks.

He also had no idea how sensing among the supernatural worked either, so gathering natural energy for Sage Mode would be both; time consuming and eye-catching.

Thus that left Naruto with one thing left.

Taijutsu.

Now, while taijutsu wasn't Naruto's specialty, he wasn't a slouch in it anymore. He could now hold his own against Kakashi-sensei in taijutsu, and he was fast enough to be a match for him as well.

So that meant he was at least an A-rank in those categories.

It would have do for now.

After Naruto was done with his mental checklist, he turned back to Nonaka and answered her. "This may be difficult to believe, but I am a human. Though, I don't know who you are or why you are pointing your sword at me...you should know that I don't attack someone unless they threaten someone that I care about. That, or I am attacked myself."

He then lifted his chin, defiant. "Basically, I won't threaten the normal students here. I give you my word on that, and I never go back on my word."

To be blunt, the blond really couldn't back down to her right now.

No, he had to show her that he couldn't be bullied around.

...Then again, he also didn't want to antagonize her either...

Well, hopefully he found a decent middle ground.

Meanwhile, the human female continued to stare at the blond, pondering his words.

...Was he really a human?

No, that couldn't be true, right? Humans didn't contain strange and foreign energy signals.
