Anyway when we last left our "hero" a client has asked and is willing to pay a lot of blood money to have a corrupt politician assassinated, so Naruto needing some money, took the contract. And the client was nice enough to leave Naruto a set of wheels, so Naruto drove to the city of his lost childhood, Ergastulum. But as soon as he got to the inner part of Ergastulum, some two bit thug tried to carjack Naruto, but Naruto pulled a pistol on the guy and shot him in the kneecap. But as soon as Naruto was getting information on the politician, it turned out that the guy he injured guy had brought a buddy to deal with Naruto. Now the fighters have decided to settle their differences in the streets.)
As soon as both the fully functional thug and Naruto were outside, the scene was set like out of a spaghetti western minus the tumble weeds in the streets, the thug and Naruto had spaced out ten paces from one another with the intent to kill each other. Naurto was as cool as a cuccumber when it came to these types of situations.
"I'm going to give you one chance to walk away from all of this, you don't have to do this." Naruto insisted, but the thug refused to back down.
"You hurt my friend, now I'm going to kill you for it." The thug said as he was about to draw his pistol.
Naruto was quicker on the draw, he quickly drew both of his Heckler and Koch Mark 23 handguns and fired a total of six bullets into the thug with four bullets hitting his chest and two going into his head, the thug then hit the ground hard, and a pool of blood formed around his corpse. Not too far from Naruto's location, Alex was out doing some errands for Nic and Worick. She heard the sound of gunshots and she knew that it was just a natural occurence in Ergastulum. But out of her slight curiousity, she decided to take a look.
"If that's you Naruto, I still hope that you're still alive." Alex said to herself, she was and still is Naruto's friend/sweetheart.
As soon as Alex went to the scene of the shootout, what shocked her was the sight of the mercenary named Naruto. Tears of mixed emotions filled in her eyes, she knew that her one true love has come back hopefully into her life. Ever since Naruto left to serve in the military, she slipped into a void and sold her body for sex. But after Worick and Nicolas freed her of her life in prostitution, she felt a burden be lifted...but she still felt empty. Naruto looked at the old flame of his past and recognized her.
"How long has it been since we were together? Nine, ten? Besides, I've always had you in my thoughts with fighting in the military." Naruto said, Alex then rushed over to her childhood sweetheart/friend as she continued to shed tears for him.
"Naruto, I missed you, it was twelve years since we parted ways. Twelve long years since I've had to throw myself into a deep dark abyss and used my body to get by with what I need. But now, you're back. I missed you so much." Alex said as she sobbed into Naruto's flak jacket, Naruto then embraces her into a comforting hug.
Nic and Worick saw the sight of the two lovebirds as Naruto lifted Alex's head as they both shared a passionate kiss.
Man, those two really need to get a room. I mean, what makes him so special? Nicolas asked using sign language, Worick was really jealous that Alex's old flame has come to Ergastulum.
"What brings you back to Ergastulum?" Alex asked, Naruto knew that this was his home, always has been and always will be.
"I came here to assassinate a corrupt politician, and I might set up shop here too since this is my home yet again." Naruto said, but the moment was cut short as ten more thugs showed up armed with blunt force objects, lead pipes, baseball bats, and broken bottles.
Naruto then holstered his pistol but pulled out a pair of nunchaku from his orange and black short sleeved hoodie. Alex stepped off to one side so Naruto could be able to kick these guy's asses. The thugs began to charge at Naruto, but Naruto began to swing for the fences. Nicolas wanted to get some action, but Worick held a hand up to stop the deaf swordsman from interfereing with the mercenary's ass kicking.
"Let's see what this guy has." Worick said, so Nic just backed off, he might get his chance soon enough.
With several mighty swipes of the nunchaku, Naruto struck the first guy so hard that his skull shattered and he spat out a major amount of blood as he collapsed onto the ground dead. Just then a sniper showed up on a roof overlooking the fight, and had Naruto in his sights. The sniper squeezed the trigger, but Nicolas, using his agility got in front of the bullet and split it in half and the bullets hit two thugs killing them instantly. The sniper knew that the deaf swordsman was a more powerful mercenary than Naruto and decided to make a hasty retreat.
I'm not going to have some new kid on the block have all of the fun. Nicolas signed, he then began to cut down the rest of the attacking thugs with such grace.
With several swipes of his katana, the thugs attacking Nicolas were all cut down. Blood and gore gushed out from corpses of the deceased as their bodies hit the ground like sacks of potatoes. Naruto knew American sign language to communicate with those who are hard of hearing.
I take it that you must be deaf, I understand why you use sign language. Besides, I'm not new here, this used to be where I grew up, let alone this place was what I once called home. But I'm so rude, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I happen to be an old acquaintence let alone a boyfriend to Ms. Alex. Naruto signed, this was just news to Nic, he couldn't believe what Naruto just signed.
You don't say, are you planning on rekindling that flame you have with her? Nic asked, Naruto smiled and he nodded knowing how much Alex meant to him as he meant so much to her.
"So what brings you here to Ergastulum?" Worick asked, Naruto pulled out a picture of the corrupt politician and showed it to him.
"I came here to assassinate this guy, the client was going to pay a serious amount of dough to kill him." Naruto answered, Worick knew about this guy, he was using prostitution money to fuel his campaign.
"This guy is a sick son of a bitch, and I'm willing to help you any way possible, are you going to leave after this?" Worick asked, Naruto shook his head no.
This is his home, always has been always will be. It's like the old saying goes, you can take the boy out of Ergastulum, but you can't take Ergastulum out of the boy. With that being said, Naruto needed to find a place for sale so he can set up a safe house. So Alex found a place that was vacant and for sale, the original tenants were killed and the placed was scrubbed and placed up for sale. So Naruto and Alex decided to check it out and see if it's to his liking. It had plenty of space and it was decent enough to hide weapons in, so Naruto bought the place and began to hide his guns all over the apartment.
His arsenal contained the following guns, two Heckler and Koch Mark 23 pistols, Smith and Wesson .44 revlover, M4 carbine assault rifle with M203 grenade launcher attachment, .308 Remington 700 sniper rifle with silencer and high powered scope, a Benelli M4 automatic shotgun, a sawed off 12 gauge double barrel Remington shotgun, MAC-10 submachine gun, MP5K submachine gun, and let's not forget the good old fashioned M-60 machine gun.
"Do you really think you'll need all of those guns Naruto?" Alex asked, she knew that Naruto knew how to use guns since he killed people when he was a teenager.
"Lighten up, I only use what I need. Besides, you can never have too many guns." Naruto said, Alex just rolled her eyes knowing that her childhood sweetheart is a gun toting mercenary.
As soon as Naruto was done hiding the guns, Nic and Worick came in to see the new pad of Naruto.
"Not a bad place, could use a little work though, but all in all, it's a roof over your head." Worick said to Naruto, Naruto then began to collect INTEL on the target.
It turns out that he always has a pair of bodyguards protecting him. Which is going to complicate the job, but it's going to be a difficult job with those two around. Luckily Nic and Worick were needing something to do, so Naruto gave them the chance to kill the bodyguards and Naruto can kill the politician. But how will they pull it off, tune in next time to find out!
[To Be Continued...]
(A/N: Okay this is going to be a major FYI, I'm *not* going to make Alex into a prostitute, she's already been one and she deserves better, so I'm going to have her be with one person, Naruto. Like I said, Alex and Naruto have a past with each other, and if you guys want, I could do a past memory chapter in the near future, but that's if you want it. Anyway, keep those reviews coming, as always faves and follows are still optional, plus I'm going to need to come up with some good arcs as well, try to keep this story alive, so if you have an idea for an arc, let me know. So until the next chapter,this is the maser of chaos, the commander of the legion of corpses, BloodyDemon666 signing off!)
