Naruto, the Uzumaki Emperor [COMPLETED] - 105. Forgotten Past [1]

”That’s… A four-leaf Grimoire! Oooooh! As I thought, someone that seems interesting like you can only have an interesting Grimoire! I had never found someone with a four-leaf Grimoire like me before!” Lumiere’s eyes seemed to change from his usual blue to pitch black as sparkles flickered inside them.

‘That’s creepy but I won’t judge someone else.’ Naruto mused.

”Say, say, what’s your Magic?” Lumiere said as the blonde youngster swore he found light literally sparkling around him.

Opening his Grimoire, Naruto looked and saw that a single page contained a Spell, it was very interesting in his opinion. Looking over it, Naruto thought to himself: ‘This spell… It helps me to complement something I was already developing.’

”Explaining is troublesome… I’ll demonstrate it with actions.”

Picking up a random stone, Naruto threw it in the sky and as it fell, his finger lightly tapped on it. Within seconds, the stone started to crumble before simply disintegrating.

[Space-Time Magic: Touch of Time]

‘I see. As of now, I can’t use it on living beings and the Magic isn’t limited by size, as long as I have Chakra and Mana, I can use it infinitely. Maybe… my Grimoire is developed according to what I can use and then, it improves even further?’ Naruto thought to himself as Lumiere’s eyes widened.

”Daaamn! You have a Magic that can disintegrate things? I’ve never seen that before, this is like something I can’t even describe!” Lumiere said with sparkly particles flickering around him. Naruto seriously doubted the man was doing this on purpose.

Naruto shook his head lightly before replying: ”No, my Magic is called Space-Time Magic but if you want, you can consider the magic I just used as disintegrating Magic. What I used is a spell named ‘Touch of Time’, I simply used it to advance the time of this small stone forward so much that it disappeared.”

Nodding at his words, Lumiere felt this was an incredibly overpowered Magic. As the light golden-haired man pondered for a bit, he said: ”Say, are you interested in helping me to develop what I call ‘Magic Tools’? Talking seriously, this Magic alone makes you very powerful but it won’t erase the innate disgust that everyone from this Kingdom feels towards you because you’re a foreigner.”

‘I’ll be able to keep myself with a stable income by helping him and wait till ‘that’ happens.’ Naruto thought to himself before saying: ”Yeah, no problem. So, given your fancy clothing and the respect these guards gave you and how they called you, you’re this Kingdom’s prince?”

Lumiere just nodded lightly at his words before feeling a bit down because most of the people that get to know he’s a Prince suddenly turn to change their attitude towards him. He was surprised to see Naruto looking up and down on him before saying with a small smile: ”Eh… Does that make that out of all top-dogs, you’re one of the top dogs as well?”

”Pffft.” Lumiere laughed at his remarks before saying: ”You’re not one to say, are you? From the place you came, you’re also a top-dog, aren’t you?”

It was refreshing to know someone who wouldn’t mind your social status.

Naruto avoided Lumiere’s gaze as he said: ”Eh… I don’t know what you mean.”

”You… You suck at lying!”

…

”So, this emo-looking girl is called Secre Swallowtail. She has a really interesting Sealing Magic and is also my loyal and faithful helper!” Lumiere said while pointing his nose high towards the sky. Secre facepalmed at the Prince’s introduction, feeling somewhat helpless.

Naruto looked over Secre before narrowing his eyes slightly: ‘Sealing Magic? I wonder what is its applications? From what I’ve seen in the memories sent by that crazy old man, she didn’t learn more advanced things like permanent sealing.’

Feeling Naruto’s gaze that was akin to a snake that found its prey, Secre stepped back. Seeing that, the blonde youngster scratched the back of his head embarrassingly: ”Uh… Don’t misunderstand things, it’s just that in my place, we have a secret art called ”Fuuinjutsu”. I just thought that maybe I can help you to develop your ‘Sealing Magic’, it’s a really interesting one.”

‘Oh? Aside from that energy his tribe calls ‘Chakra’, they can even use it to do secret arts? It seems that you’re more interesting than what I thought, Naruto.’ Lumiere thought to himself, listening quietly.

”From what Lumiere explained… You can just open and close objects? Hm… Can you do that so that I can observe how it works?” Naruto said as the black-haired girl nodded after receiving Lumiere’s permission.

Looking towards Naruto, Secre said after hand-cuffing herself: ”As of now, I have three Spells but two of them require someone to be injured. Sealing Magic: Inverse Release!”

Suddenly, the hand-cuffs opened as her hands became free once again. Naruto’s eyes showed some surprise, he could feel exactly the way her Mana worked to make that.

Taking out his Sword, Naruto pierced himself before saying: ”Show me the Spells, please.”

‘Doesn’t he feel pain or whatever? Whatever…’ Secre thought to herself with an indifferent expression before using [Sealing Magic: Heavenly Prison: Faint Omen]. (A/N: Yes, the original Magic is written like that, pretty xianxia-like but who cares?)

”Oh?! Your Magic can negate pain? This is really interesting, if you could do surgery with that, it would be a huge advancement for the Medical Field!” Naruto said as his eyes became more and more curious, Magic was really an interesting thing.

‘So he does feel pain? How can he endure… being pierced without even a minuscule change of expression?’ Lumiere and Secre thought in sync while feeling extremely shocked.

[Sealing Magic: Closed Sorrow]

As these words were uttered from Secre’s mouth, the bloodied wound started to close until no blood came out. Naruto had to admit that the Sealing Magic was more impressive than he thought.

Looking over Secre with his light blue-colored eyes, Naruto said: ”I have to admit, girl… Your Sealing Magic is really good but there’s a major mistake, you’re failing to see it’s true potential.”

Naruto’s Grimoire suddenly appeared beside him as a new Spell suddenly appeared there, tapping Secre’s forehead, he said: ”Broad your horizons and see what you couldn’t before…”
