Months Later:
All the Amazons were training. On the training grounds, we could see several fights taking place, while Diana and Naruto sat on the spectators' bench. The Uzumaki had gotten new clothes, consisting of dark pants, an orange shirt with a jōnin vest over it that had several pockets, and finally, an orange cloak with dark flames along the edges. Strangely, however, his shinobi headband was missing.
The two watched the training sessions in amazement, but the little girl was upset because she couldn't participate. The shinobi noticed this and simply smiled. The girl had the same desire to fight as all the Amazons, which was normal.
"Naruto, could you train me?" the girl suddenly asked, looking at the shinobi, who sighed. He knew she would ask that. "Come on, it'll be fun. Please!" she begged the blond several times, while he thought about it for a moment.
"Alright," he said simply. "We'll have a little practice session." With that, the shinobi walked toward the armory, where he was greeted by a calm Amazon. Over time, all the Amazons had grown used to his presence. Besides, the Uzumaki's calm and cheerful attitude had even made the women somewhat fond of him.
"You know Antiope will kill you, right?" the woman standing beside the weapons joked as she handed Diana a lightweight wooden sword. This made the Uzumaki smile nervously and shrug.
"She's in a boring meeting with the Queen. Nothing will happen." Walking to the center of the combat arena, he looked at an excited Diana who was swinging her sword around clumsily. The girl was simply copying the movements she had seen her Amazon sisters perform during their training.
"Alright, you'll see!" Without thinking twice, the little black-haired girl rushed forward to attack. The blond waited with his arms crossed. Letting out a battle cry, the girl swung her sword at him, only for him to easily dodge it. Growling, the girl attacked again and again. "Come on, stay still!" the little Amazon growled, continuing to attack furiously.
"You need to stay calm..." the shinobi said as he continued dodging her attacks. Deep down, he was surprised. The girl's speed was at least on the level of a genin. The physical abilities of these women were amazing. "Stop," he asked gently, but the girl didn't listen. "Diana!" This time, his voice was firmer. However, the girl continued attacking without stopping.
Suddenly, Diana's sword was snatched away from her. Confused, she saw Naruto holding her sword. Before she could say anything, she felt a hard blow to her head. "Ow! Hey, what's wrong with you?" she growled while rubbing her head. Her answer was another blow to the head, causing her to cry out again and hold her head.
"Never let anger control you. In a fight, emotions are a double-edged sword," the blond began to explain as he held out his hand to the little girl, who took it. Looking at the sword, the shinobi returned it to Diana. The girl looked at the Uzumaki in confusion, and he smiled gently. "You're still young, but you should know that anger, hatred, and frustration are emotions that will lead to your downfall in battle... However, hope, love, and finally..." He struck his chest with his fist and smiled. "The desire to protect the people you love will give you the strength to defeat anyone."
"Wow! Then I'll be stronger that way!" the little girl said excitedly, gripping her sword tightly.
"Hey, calm down. First, you need to train." Saying that, he took a small scroll from one of his many pockets. Placing it on the ground, he summoned some wristbands and anklets with several kanji engraved on them. They were just like the ones that had once belonged to his friend Rock Lee. "Here, put these on." Following his instructions, the girl put them on.
"Hey, but these don't weigh anything," she complained, crossing her arms. But when she saw the blond's amused smile, she became confused. That was until she fell face-first to the ground. Stunned, she realized that she suddenly felt very heavy. Growling, she struggled to get back to her feet.
"You have over 100 kilograms in each seal. Alright, now run twenty laps around the training grounds." This caught Diana off guard and brought smiles to several Amazons. Apparently, the shinobi was tougher than he looked. "Well, what are you waiting for? Run," he said, waving his hands as if shooing away a dog.
"Ugh..." Sighing, the girl began jogging with the weight on her. Little by little, she moved away from the fighting arena to complete her exercises. The shinobi crossed his arms and watched her go, but when he heard footsteps, he turned to see Hippolyta and her sister, both wearing more formal clothes. The two were walking toward him.
"When did you get here?" he asked in confusion as he approached the Amazons.
"Since you started your interesting speech," Antiope said seriously. She had heard the shinobi's story. Although she could somewhat relate to the Uzumaki, she still found it difficult to trust him.
"I don't remember allowing this," the Queen said, crossing her arms. The blond woman watched her daughter complete her first lap. "The Amazon fighting style is a tradition on this island. I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like you training her," she said with a frown.
"Actually, I'm only helping her get stronger. Besides, there's nothing wrong with learning something new," the shinobi said casually with a shrug. This annoyed the Amazons a little, but he had a point. Their entire culture had been built from different cultures from all around the world, all to create their own.
"I say we settle this," Antiope said. Everyone looked at her as she went to the armory. Without any embarrassment, she took off her clothes until she was wearing only a short white slip. This didn't bother her Amazon sisters, but it made the Uzumaki blush. Even so, he shamelessly admired the Amazon general's impressive figure. "It's time to see who's more effective, an Amazon or a shinobi," she said to the Uzumaki with a challenging smile.
She picked up one of the many suits of armor and put it on. After several minutes, she had all her equipment on, including steel wristbands and anklets. Adjusting her breastplate and metal skirt, she was ready. Once she finished, she picked up a sword, a shield, a spear, and finally a bow and arrows. After arranging all her weapons, she stood before the shinobi.
"I accept your challenge, Antiope," the shinobi said, placing his hand over the seal on his left wrist. Everyone was surprised when they saw a pair of ordinary matching katanas appear. The blond strapped them to his back and prepared himself. The Amazons quickly made room for them. Without anyone knowing, Diana had stopped in the distance to watch the fight that was about to begin, excited to see what would happen.
