Ninja among Thieves
A Persona 5 and Naruto crossover
By SandewrPally
Idle chatter and shouts filled the air as a shadowed figure made his way across the hall above the crowd. The figure, a male, stood tall as he took in the scene below him. Seeing guards notice his position he quickly made his way across the rest of the hall by using the various fitures and other things that were high enough.
"Stay Calm. You can get away now!" a girls voice sounded in his ears.
"We'll retriever the briefcase on our end." An older girl's voice said.
As he jumped another set of fixtures a transmission came over the communication. Pausing for a moment he tried to concentrate to make something out.
"Suspects…. Not…confirmed….hold….your…..positions…"
"Hm?" the first girls voice came over the communications, worry and curiosity in her tone. "What was that?"
As if sensing the thief's though a boyish voice answered him "Don't worry about us. Just concentrate on getting away!" as he jumped down from a sign the boyish voice continued. "But I have to say, showing yourself above that crowd earlier was an excellent move."
"More like a genius move." Muttered another voice, this time a young man's.
"Diversion ready?" the thief asked as he stopped before being spotted by two more security guards.
"Of course. Ready whenever you are." Answered the male on the other end
"There he is!" one of the security guards yelled from the rafters.
Before other guards caught explosions of orange confetti burst out of random places throughout the hall and rafters, obscuring the thief as he switched direction.
"Orange….Confetti?" a different boy's voice sounded from the communications.
"Oi what have I said about dissing the orange!"
Silence permeated the communications before one of the girl's voiced responded. "Anyways, everyone remember were we are meeting up?"
As he flipped up from a sign that said casino the thief stopped as two guards appeared in from of him. In a twitch of movement they hunched down as metal masked appeared on their faces while the rest of the head looked t black mass. Before they could move a clicker of burnt orange formed the shape of his teammate as he ripped of the two figure's masks.
A loud thump made him quickly back to see another security officer with the same deformed features.. Throwing down a smoke bomb he rushed through the door, locking it for good measure
"Take him down Joker!" With quick steps the thief had mounted the guard, and reached towards his face. With his hand spread across the guards mask he used unseen strength as it ripped off.
The guard fell, splashing into a dark blob before reforming again. The new form took that of a man-bull that had the more mechanical appearance of a serpent on the lower half. Drawing his weapon the thief struck while the shadow was stunned. After getting a few hits in the thief backed off before a swing of one of the mechanical hands could get a hit in. Putting a hand to his mask Joker shouted "Arsene!" as the familiar crack of his persona appearing behind him.
A being draped in fine red clothes with a twisted jagged grin appeared floating before extending his hand towards the revealed monster. Red and black skulls appeared under the foe, before exploding upwards stunning the foe again.
The shadow quickly turned, aiming to hit the thief with a sweep of his tail. Jumping back again the creature pulled his hand back for another attack. Joker rushed to hit it again, this time finishing the job. It let out a wail of despair before disappearing in a pool of black as his teammate came down and met him having finished his own battle.
"We need to get moving." His teammate said "They caught on quicker than they should have."
Looking towards the exit both Joker and his accomplice moved into what seemed to be the inner pathways of the casino. Passing by several searching guards the two heard a boy's voice over the Communications.
"Tch! we got away from a bunch of those guys in black, but there're still loads more of them." Joker and his accomplice could only nod as the crouched under a window as another guard came into view. The Guard cursed before informing the other guards. Good to know that everyone was safe for the moment. Turning the corner he slid into cover as another deformed agent appeared near the end of the hallway. As his accomplice hid a little back on the corner they both waited a moment before the first girl's voice came over the communications.
"You'll never be able to escape if you keep fighting. Wait until you see an opening and sneak by!"
Taking the advice to heat Joker moved from cover to cover, his teammate one step behind him at all times.
"Are you sure they went this way?" they heard the guard ask into his mic. Both Joker and his teammate stopped just short of the guard, hiding in the shadows. "All right I'll keep looking."
They only had to wait a few seconds before silently moving out of their cover as they ran up the stairs and entered a hallway before once again stopping at a window. With Joker leaning and his teammate looking over the sill from where he crouched it looked to be a control room of some sort. Though they could make out some of the chatter they clearly heard the man standing with his ear to the phone.
"There still here. Find them and kill them all!"
Both thieves looked at each other before rushing to another set of stairs. The echo of their pursuers came from below as the two thieves ran around a corner. Bursting through the door at the end of the hallway they skid to a stop as looked over the walkway they had arrived at.
"Something wrong?" the first girl's voice sounded worried "The exit should be just ahead."
"We're here." His teammate responded "Just ah…" he trailed off.
The girl must have expected the answer she received. "haaah. That's just how it is. After that commotion from both of you the first floor's been locked down tight. You can make it right?"
Both young men smirked before their attention was brought back to the hallway they had just exited. "Over there!" they heard one of the guards occupying the hallway shout. "There's nowhere to run!"
Deciding that staying would not be in their best interest both thieves jumped to stand on the railing before running across it. After getting over their shock the guards that had been chasing continued to pursue them. Both Thieves stopped before the massive stained glass window before looking back.
"See ya." Joker said before flipping into the window. His accomplice followed not a second later after giving a mock salute to his pursuers. A crash of glass heralded their escape as both thieves landed rolling into a crouch on the ground.
An exasperated voice came out of the communications. "You two are such showoffs you know that?"
As both thieves stood up a flash of light caught their attention. More lights quickly blinded them, as panicked voices started to come over the communications.
"Enemies here?"
"What's wrong?!"
"These readings. It can't be!"
"What happened?!"
"An ambush? Joker can you handle this?!"
"Joker!"
"Oh no!"
"Capture them!" shouted one of the officers.
Not wasting a second Joker and his teammate booked it towards the fire escape. Throwing a couple of small flashbangs to give them some room Joker jumped up first followed closely by his accomplice. As he reached the top of the ladder Joker was hit with the butt of a weapon. Falling and taking his teammate with him both landed roughly on the ground before they were swarmed with officers. Despite struggling they were handcuffed quickly before the crowd of cops split to allow a man in a suit to step in front of them.
"Suspect secured!"
As the suited man stopped in form of the two subdued thieves Joker could only guess the smug look of power as the man talked.
"Huh. Didn't expect it to be some kids." He commented as he crouched down and gripped Joker's hair. "You have your teammate to thank for this. You got sold out." At he let Joker's head fall back to the ground both boys let out grunts of discomfort as they were handcuffed.
Akira's eyes fluttered open as he regained his faculties. The first thing he noticed was that he was tied to a chair, several needles strewn on the floor.
"Guess the drug was too strong." Commented someone. "Wake him up!"
The next moment cold water tore the veil of drowsiness from him as he shook off the excess in his hair. As he looked up a square-jawed man came into his view. The bland stare of the man unnerved him much more than he cared to admit.
"No Dosing off. You friends already in in sleep land."
At the gesture of his chin Akira averted his eyes to the person next to him. A mop of unruly sun-kissed blond hair shadowed the face of his teammate, though Akira saw some nasty bruises on his face and the parts of his arms that were exposed. As he struggled against the handcuffs the man approached him.
"Still don't get it do ya?" As the man reared his leg back Akira braced himself for the obvious kick "Give it up!"
Though prepared the kick sent him and the chair he was attached to falling on the ground. A grunt of pain slipped through his lips before the man approached him again. The man stepped in front of Akira again before he said anything. His tone was full of anger, and more than a little bit of annoyance.
"Come on cooperate, or what you want another shot? We can't really do the same thing we did to your friend." Akira merely glared at the camera, which did not go unnoticed by the now identified officer.
"What the camera?" he looked between Akira and the camera several times before chuckling. "You think it can be used as video evidence? Roughly pulled up by his hair Akira let out another grunt of pain. The expression he received was one of question. He chose to remain silent. The man snarled before responding.
"Didn't you hear my question? Answer!" as he finished Akira let out another grunt of pain as the officer hit him again. As he coughed tying to stave off the pain the man took a clipboard form one of his associates. He began to read off to everyone as Akira managed to get his wind back.
"Obstruction of Justice, blackmail, defamation, possession of weapons…" The man turned back to Akira with a condescending look before continuing "Manslaughter too yeah? Talk about the works."
Looking back at the clipboard the man approached Akira, with a frown set in his face. "To think that all those crimes were led by and made up of punks like you two."
Akira merely glared at the man before he gestured to the both of them. "And you two seem to enjoy every second of it, your friend."
Akira merely averted his eyes as he tried to recall what had happened (I was enjoying it? It's so hazy I… I can't remember.) His attention was brought back as the man shook his head before once more glaring at him,
"You should know your place."
A motion of his head preceded one of the other interrogators coming over and undoing one side of the handcuffs he was attached to. Thrown back again the first man shoved the clipboard before gesturing with it. "Sign here."
At the confused expression he got from Akira the officer continued. "It's a confession, for both you and your friend. Both you names are under it."
"I… I understand." As Akira took the clipboard the man took out a pen before leaning over to get right in Akira's face. "Don't expect to walk out of here in one piece. Especially your friend."
"Were going to make you understand…" as he got closer he continued, more ominous than before "One must take responsibility for their actions.."
Taking the pen from the man's hand Akira looked at the line before the man added "And don't forget to ad d your accomplices name as well."
Taking one last look Akira signed his name
Akira Kurusu
Then put his friends name with it
Uzumaki Naruto
