Prologue
The air was cold, for it a late night of October in the element Nations, however, for one baby, a 2 year old dark-blue eyed boy, the cold hadn't yet bothered him, for instead of the cold wind, a thick blanket of darkness surrounded him instead, much like a void of nothingness, the only thing in said void being a single pair of spinning red eyes of the cloaked man infront of him.
"You know, for a brat, you're quite silent," A man's voice echoed out, its natures gruffed and muffled by his face mask, not really bothered that the boy couldn't understand him. "But what could expect from the first born of my Sensei and his whore wife." the man growled, his spinning eyes rapidly morphing into something different, something more.
"I may have failed in stopping Minato in sealing the Kyuubi into his daughter, but I won't be defeat so easily." A large swirl appeared above the baby red-head, a dark, twisted, smirk appeared under his mask. "I hope you like your new life Naruto Uzumki, because today you're going to lose one with a loving sister and mother!"
"Stop right there!"
Before the man could finish his technique, a single blade of thunder shot past the man, causing him to fault, and the swirl to quickly expand and disburse, taking Naruto with it.
"Where have you taken him?!" The owner of the lighting, a young 15 year old female with silvery like hair, went to charge another attack, only to jump back in shock when the man's body swirled, in the same fashion as how Naruto had just disappeared.
However, before he left, the unknown man left with a chuckling, his chilling voice echoing through the room.
"Some place you'll never, ever, find him."
Prologue end
Chapter 1:
"Alpha team 2, come in. I repeat, Alpha team 2, come in!" A loud, panicked shout, echoed through the call cells of the "TABS", the Tactical Anit-Criminal Ballistic Squad, a deathly silence being the only other sound. "This is Captain of Alpha team 1, my squad has separated, and I am currently in pursuit of a High Class criminal, I need back up NOW!"
The owner of voice, a young man with dark red hair and sky blue eyes, shouted in anger, dodging to the left as a clawed paw surged forwards, slamming into the ground next to him. "Crap!" Spinning on his heels, the teen, who was no older than 16, grabbed his weapon, a custom Ak-101 that had both semi and full automatic built systems.
"Take this!"
Tapping the trigger, the teen released a single 5.5645mm NATO round into a random tiger's face, completely obliterating it thanks to the closeness, its sudden appearance startling the teen.
"Tsk, what the hell is a tiger doing here?!"
Panting, the teen slung the weapon behind his back, whilst grabbing his side arm, a heavily modified 50 caliber Desert Eagle, one that had a full clip of 7 rounds in .50 Action Express, with five extra clips attacked on his side.
"Damn it, bloody unit 2 isn't answering!" Spinning around, the red-head blasted another animal, this time a training dog, that came alittle to close, its body quickly dropping to the ground in a bloody mess. "I need to sort this animal problem out before it endangers any-more lives." Sprinting past some coffins standing upwards, the red-head growled as he pointed his gun forwards: the sudden appearance meant only one thing!
This was the work of Hydra.
"DAMN IT!"
Letting lose 3 rounds, the red-head managed to take out 5 more animals, his bullets easily going through one or more to hit another dog. "I need to make contact with whatever these animals are protecting," With his spare hand, the red-head pulled out a radio device, using its special function to connect with anything close with a signal. "Hello, come in, this is Captain Noriyuki of the task force T.A.B.S, if there is anyone out there, please respond!"
Letting lose another round, the anti-Criminal Captain killed another trained killer K-9, grunting from the shock of firing the round without readying himself.
"This is a Sinstra Operative of the Specialized Hunting Squad, or SHS," a young mature male voice answered the god given call that Noriyuki preyed out with, making him smile. "Please identify?"
"SHS?" Noriyuki remarked, mainly to himself; he knew not of what company SHS was, but if they were out here, then they had to be professional. "Listen me to very carefully, I am commander Noriyuki Uzumaki of Tokyo's Anti-Terrorist Defence, It's imperative that you, and whoever is with you, find a safe location, a very high-class criminal is heading towards the North!" Spinning around, the red-head frowned at let lose two more bullets, killing two shadows creeping up on him. "I repeat, a high class criminal is heading into the North, avoid at all costs!"
"Unfortunately, I can't follow those orders, as SHS is stationed in the North." The voice that answered him was calm, but was not fooled; he could tell the resident was worried. "I must know, how many are we up against."
"There is atleast 20 heavily armed men approaching, escorting a man name Romin Maxx." Sighing, Noriyuki released his information, whilst picking up his speed, there was no way this group was able to take this assault without injury. "Unless you have special training, I advice avoiding these people, I shall arrive in a few minuets."
Without waiting for a response, the red-head jumped from his spot and over a railing, using the metal bars as stepping stones. Spotting two armed men, Noriyuki slid his side-arm away, and took out his two Bundeswehr Advanced Combat Knifes (BW-ACK), from his side pockets, the custom orange blades quickly finding themselves lodged into the men's skulls. "To easy."
Looking left, the red-head barely was able to dodge a blade coming for his face, his blue eyes narrowed as he lashed out, cutting deep into the armour human form beside him. "Tsk, a Class B." Jumping back, the solider drew his gun, emptying his round into the man's head without remorse. "Dead, most have been newly trained."
Spinning around, the red-head rushed to location SHS was at, he had a feeling that the criminals were grouping there for some reason. "Am I too late?" Glaring down at his gun, the teen quickly switched rounds, pocketing the empty clip into his belt's holster. "No, I still have a reading on Maxx, but it seems that most of the high class Bs has been taken out."
Pulling out his rifle, the red-head looked down his scoped sight, noting that the men were retreating, instead of continuing to fight. "I wonder if this SHS group has a fortified base?" Flipping the gun round, Noriyuki decided to walk to this SHS's head-quarters, taking note that only 20 minuets had passed since he separated from his squad.
After a good 15 minuet of walking, the red-head finally stopped infront of where he sensed his fellow fighters, only... this couldn't be the place, the SHS headquarters was a dorm, for students no less. "You've got to be joking..." Turning around, the teen went to walk away, only for his heart to stop briefly, the area he was in was no longer a deserted base, instead, he was now in a quite street.
"W-what the hell?!" the teen nearly shouted out, keeping it down to a whisper. "What happened, I... what!" The red-head had only closed his eyes for a second, and in that time, he had not only be transported to somewhere completely unknown, but several bloody hours had pasted.
"Okay, calm down Noriyuki, you've been through worse." Taking shaky breaths, the teen tapped the side of his helmet, a green hologram appeared on his left iris, a line of numbers quickly turned into a map, one that was completely blank.
Taking a chance, the armoured teen silently span around and moved towards the dorm, turning on his invisibility cloak and attaching a suppressor to his main weapon. "I need more information." Opening the door with pick-lock, Noriyuki gently crouch walked into the open hall, his footsteps making the least amount of noise possible. "Pulse." Whispering gently, Noriyuki put his hand on the floor, using sonar technology to get a quick lay-out of the building, finding it to be several stories tall. "This is going to be challenging."
Moving forwards with focused eyes, the solider quickly moved to the stairs, taking note of the lack of... well, anyone, not even cleaners. "Only 12:30 am, someone should be here." Feeling that he was walking into a trap, the teen continued on with his senses on high alert.
"Shit!"
Jumping back, the teen let out a whispered curse, his glowing blue eyes now locked on the form of a passing person, their black and dark blue clothes making it almost impossible to see him/her.
However, it would seem the whisper had caught the person's attention, because not a second later, several knifes lodged into where he stood moments ago, nearly making the teen lose his held breath.
"Dog?" Another form stepped from the shadows, their longer purple hair swishing to the side as she drew her weapon, a shortish sword that the camo'd red-head recognised as a Tanto. "What is it?"
The now identified "Dog" didn't move from their spot, their silver hair shinned in the mid-night, a single red glow escaping from her/his left eye socket. "There's someone here, I can't see them, but there's a smell in the air." A small sniff was heard, making the red-head widen his eyes, there was no way that a person could have that good of a sense of smell. "Oil and blood..."
Before the two could ready themselves, Noriyuki burst forwards, breaking his camo and pointed forwards, not a second hesitation in shooting at the unknown, forcing the shocked female to leave her purple haired comrade's side. "Surrender, or your partner dies." In a flash of silver, Noriyuki's gun was placed against the purple women's skull, a deep sense of tension lingering in the air.
"Okay..." Dog, who was holding her now bleeding arm, did as the new arrive said, her bright left red eye closed whilst her right eyes, which was a charcoal colour, narrowed, the new arrive had unknown weapons, something that caught her by surprise. "Who are you, what do you want?" She asked in a calm tone in hopes of buying some time, releasing small chakra bursts, not that the man seemed to notice.
A soft clicking noise was heard, the teen's finger pulling back on the back of the gun, much to the confusion of the two. "I would call off your friends, if I go down, I'm taking this women with me." Noriyuki baited, his sonar reader had picked up on two more people entering the area, he was not taking any chances. "Now," Pushing the gun harder, the boy released another pulse, making sure there was no more moving.
Cursing, the silver haired women raised her left hand gently, she couldn't risk putting her partner in danger, they had a mission to complete afterall. "Snake, Wolf," In a hard tone, the women commanded the two to her side, she now had a disadvantage, it seemed the man had noticed, and called her on it. "Un-arm." the two new arrivals, both males Noriyuki guessed; if their figures were any give away. "See, we are un-armed, now tell us what you want."
"Information." Noriyuki remarked instantly, making the commander frown, he needed to know where he was, or better yet, how to get back to his base. "I need to know where I am, the exact location."
The three who captured figures shared a look, so this man wasn't here to counter their mission? "You're in the Land of Water, in the centre of Kirigakure's Academy." The women remarked, her monotone voice making Noriyuki frown in confusion.
"Land of Water?" Noriyuki remarked as he glared towards the women. "Do you have a map?"
Nodding, the women slowly approached the unknown, not knowing if it would be a good idea to attack or not. "Here," Taking out a single trip of paper, the women decided against attacking. The man, whilst not friendly, had not not gone for the kill when he engaged them, he had gone for a clean attack that dealt the least amount of damage.
"Thank you," Taking a perfect copy of the image, the teen froze slightly, there was a group of 12 people moving in on his position extremely fast. "Watch out!" Shoving the purple haired women out of the way, Noriyuki tackled the silver haired women as a large FIREBALL came from the left, saving her from being roasted alive. "What the heck was that." the red-head said as he dragged the women up whilst letting lose three rounds, killing two of the intruders.
"Kiri-nin." The women curse out, throwing several kunai, frowning when they were deflected. "How did they know?" However, the nin who managed to block the kunai was unprepared for a single bullet that left Noriyuki's assault rifle in a spark of fire, ending their lives in mere miller-seconds.
"Fireball Jutsu!"
Much to inwards-surprise of the red-head , a large ball of heat smashed into one of masked assailant. However, seeing as the teen was still unknown, the silver haired women didn't stop her assault, instead she used the red-head 's surprise against him, trusting her sword out in a arc fashion.
Unfortunately, or fortunately in Noriyuki's case, the red-head had dodged it easily, he had been raised on dodging things faster than bullets, so there was no way a single blade could catch him off guard. "Bitch!" Spinning on his toes, the shouting teen grabbed his knife and pistol, letting his assault rifle sling onto his back, before shooting the last advancing Kiri-nin, whilst also blocking another strike from the silver haired female.
With one quick disarm, the red-head quickly slammed his helmet into the women, disorienting her, and put her into a chock hold, his left arm wrapping around her neck whilst his right held a gun to her head.
"Freeze!"
And just like that, the three operatives, who had just finished off the last of the Kiri-nin, stopped there advance, each one looking at the scene infront of them in mild-shock.
"Now, I get we got off on the wrong foot, and I'm sorry for that," Without a word, Noriyuki spun the women around and pushed her to the three, releasing the only advantage he had. "but I'm not here to fight, I just need to get home!" The red-head remarked, holstering his weapon and picking up the silver blade by his feet. "Look, I need your help, I can pay." Without a word, the red-head throw the weapon to the women and held out a single block of gold; he had cash, he just didn't know if they had the same currency. "If you help me, you can have this, and I'll be on my way, deal?"
The women, who was no-longer glaring at the red-head , thought on the subject, maybe there was a way of turning this to there favour. "We'll help you," Dog remarked, sliding her blade into her back sheath, ignoring the shocked look of her team. "But only if you help us first."
A small silence quickly filled the air, the red-head really didn't want to help these four, not after Dog nearly killing him, but then again... he had no choice.
Raising his gun, the red-head sighed, ignoring the tensing of the four. "Okay fine, but after, you have to help me." Letting lose a shot, the red-head killed another Kiri-nin, one that had survived the assault and was running towards to four from behind. "You owe me that much."
Smirking, the women walked up to the solider, holding out her hand as a sigh of respect. "Deal."
A small group of five "shadow" moved silently through enemy territory, each one ready to engage in a fight in a moments draw.
"No'one's here,"
A hushed whisper came from the most armoured of the five, his whole being screamed "tank". However, this man was anything but unarmed, because on each part of his armour was either a sharpened edge or an actually weapon.
"Understood,"
A soft, yet firm, voice answered the man back, a single charcoal coloured eye meet that of the red-head tank, her gaze trying to pick up any sigh of deceit or lies.
"Do you have a location of our target?"
Using his sonar power, Noriyuki sighed gently as his let his vision's map to update, a small 3d hologram of his location appearing. "We're three floors above the target, but there seems to be... several blanks," the red-head remarked, pointing down on map that Dog had given him. "It's kinda like something is blocking me."
"Seals." Dog confirmed instantly, knowing just what type there were. "They're suppression seals, anyone who enters the room will no doubt be stopped." Clicking her tongue in annoyance, Dog glared down at the map, wondering how she, or her team, was going to get in.
"Well, if these 'seal' are anything like my training room, then this is going to be a breeze." the red-head remarked, grabbing a large piece of rope from his backpack. "If you hold onto this, I can be in and out in two minuets," Noriyuki said, already clipping the rope around his chest, getting frowns from the team. "Don't worry, I've been trained to do something like this."
Giving the Dog his rope, the solider sprinted forwards, shocking the group, before jumping off the building side, using the jump to swing himself into the room he needed to be in. "Here we go," Grabbed his knives, the red-head sliced his way in, killing the single guard stationed infront of the door he needed to get into. "To easy..." Stabbing the door's handle, Naurto let himself in, untying himself from his rope.
However, as soon as he put his foot down, it felt like gravity tripled, almost crushing him with the sheer force.
"Heh..."
The force, however, was nothing compared to what he had suffered when he was training. "It's just sitting there." Rushing forwards, the red-head snatched up the item, a single blade with a light green dragon sheath. "That was too easy..." A single, loud, alarm signalled through the building, confirming that there was a second part to the security. "Spoke to soon!" Rushing forwards, Noriyuki grabbed his rope and jumped forwards, holding onto it with a single hand, before quickly tugging, allowing the team to pull him up.
"We need to go, now!" Nodding, the teen grabbed the rope from Dog and sprinted forwards, his form quickly hidden from the world as he turned invisible. "Meet me outside this town!" Alerting the others to this plan, the man quickly jumped onto the hidden village's massive wall, using his two knives as climbing gear.
Dog, who had been informed of the plan, signalled for her team to retreat, using a substitution to join the red-head on the wall, her squad right behind her. "Don't leave without us," With the same thing in mind, Dog and the Squad took out Kunai's and rushed up the wall, much faster than an average Nin would have done it.
"Come on, before they catch up!" Dragging Noriyuki up, Dog and Wolf grunted, boy that kid sure weighed alot, even with them using chakra. "We need to get to the land of fire border, it'll be a day's run from here!"
In a bust of speed, Noriyuki nearly swore loudly as he was dragged away, there was no'way he could keep up this speed, not without using his suits power up. "Dang, you guys are fast." A large amount of steam rolled off of the red-head's form, a signal that he had activated his suits speed enhancer. "But then again, so am I."
