"...You...! To think that Naruto-san managed to get a date with the school's ice queen...! You truly are a man among men...!"
"Banzai! Banzai!"
"Show us the way Naruto-dono!"
He really didn't know how to handle their cheers...
"So...what should I be expecting in this meeting? Any ideas?" Naruto asked while they were walking around the mall.
Yuki shook her head in the negative. "No idea. All I know is that he's very interested in the happenings surrounding Kuoh Town lately and that he's very interested in meeting you Naruto."
The shinobi sighed before brushing the golden locks on his forehead in frustration. He had no idea what to expect right now.
"...By the way Naruto. I've been meaning to ask, but I never had the chance due to all of the craziness of recent events...but is your arm ok?" Yuki asked quietly, she glanced at the blond through the side of her eye in order to gauge his reaction.
Naruto caught Yuki's eyes with his own and grinned at her. "Well, those burns that I got were pretty superficial so they wouldn't stay with me for very long. But I also have a very fast healing rate. So no worries, I've been fine ever since I went to sleep after the battle."
The young hero's eyes widened, Naruto could heal himself that quickly? Her curiosity of the blond's abilities just continued to grow the more she knew about him.
Well, maybe she could learn more with the training trip planned.
Naruto in turn glanced at Yuki in curiosity, her question reminded him of something. "Hey Yuki, where were you the day after the incident with the fallen angels? I was honestly surprised that you didn't take advantage of our agreement the second I got back to school."
Yuki gave him a dull stare at the reminder of her absence. She's skipped class so that she could help her blond friend and she's skipped school entirely the following day!
Not a good day for the serious class representative.
"I was busy coordinating with the higher-ups back home on when the meeting should be and where it should start. I didn't exactly have a say in the matter." Yuki mumbled, upset at the turn of events.
Naruto just gave her a strained smile, unsure how someone could possibly be upset over missing school. The concept was thoroughly foreign for the young man. So he decided to try and change the subject.
"So. Where are we supposed to be going?" the whiskered teen asked, he has been following Yuki the entire time and had no idea what they were looking for or searching for.
"Here." Yuki said quietly while staring at a café that they were approaching.
Naruto glanced towards what Yuki was talking about and felt a sweat-drop begin to form on his head.
"...It couldn't be more obvious Yuki..."
"...I think that this is a play at reverse-psychology Naruto. A case of 'no one would be stupid enough to do this'...at least I think."
The café that they were looking at was dubbed the 'Café of Heroes'.
This world was too much for Naruto sometimes...
The duo broke through their temporary stupor and entered the building to meet with who was possibly one of the most strongest individuals in this dimension.
Naruto was pretty underwhelmed when he entered the restaurant though, it looked so...ordinary. He didn't know what he was expecting, but it didn't really look like somewhere where such a high-level person would stay.
Yuki walked up to the cashier, a woman that gave her a warm smile in greeting. "Welcome to Café of Heroes. How can I help you?"
Yuki didn't respond until she leaned towards the cashier and whispered something to her.
Naruto looked on in interest as the cashier's expression turned serious for a moment before the happy smile from before was plastered onto her face again.
"Oh! If it isn't one our best patrons! Please please! Come in to the VIP section!" the cashier lady announced as she used a key to open the door to the back of the restaurant.
When he looked inside, the door led to a more elaborate eating area but...that was pretty much it.
Yuki motioned for Naruto to follow her as she entered through the door, the blond followed shortly after while ignoring the stare of the cashier lady.
The second he entered the door though, the scenery...changed.
What was once a more elaborate dining area transformed into a very fancy hall which was occupied with men and women in capes.
"How...?" Naruto gaped as he didn't sense any of this prior.
"Remember Naruto...you didn't sense me while I was guiding you around Kuoh Academy when we first met. Heroes practically specialize in hiding any energy signals that they may emit to the supernatural, it was a necessary measure to ensure that our organization didn't get destroyed." Yuki stated as she walked past several of her comrades-in-arms towards the meeting place.
"Also...although I'm sure you know about this...humans happen to be the best species when it comes adaptability."
Naruto just grinned at that statement.
The duo finally reached a set of doors that was made from some sort of metal that the blond has never seen before.
Yuki knocked on it.
After a few moments, the door was slowly opened by an elderly man with a seemingly permanent scowl on his face. "What do you want?"
If Yuki was offended by his rudeness, she didn't show it. "The Great Hero has summoned me. Please let me through. Also, tell him that he is here as well."
The elderly man glanced at Naruto for a moment before looking back at the young hero.
"...You come in here first, girl. The blond stays put until the Great Hero allows him to." the elder hero grumbled as he motioned for Yuki to enter.
The bluenette gave Naruto a small smile as she entered through the door.
The old man slammed the door on Naruto's face.
...
"...So damn rude." Naruto grumbled to himself, he really hated to wait when the action was literally happening behind the door. Although he hoped that he has matured enough to be more patient in that regard.
But he had to be at least a little polite here, maybe this was how they did things?
Naruto was staring at the ceiling as continued to wait for these bastards to come out already.
It's only been about about fifteen minutes, but he was still incredibly bored. It seemed that he still had no patience when something interesting was happening nearby.
As he contemplated whether he should act out on his frustration, the door...mercifully...opened.
Game time.
"...Uzumaki Naruto? The Great Hero of the Hero Tribe is ready to see you now." the elderly man from before said, although he seemed to be more subdued than before.
