AN: This and chapter 3 were actually the same chapter but i split it in two so i wasn't so heavy to read in one go, but i will upload them at the same time anyway so read them as you like. Anyways Enjoy!
It was approaching night and we could see someone getting near the gates of Konoha. As the person got closer the kunoichis guarding the gate could see it was a young man, however they could see it was not a normal young man. The first thing they could see was they way he was dressed, well "dressed" was no the appropriate word since he was wearing a suit of armor, a golden chest plate which seemed to be a little dirty making it look like a really dull orange, he was also wearing armored pants in the same shade. On his back a brown mantle that reached just after his knees and over it a round shield, big enough to cover all the man's arm length in the same shade as the rest of the man's armor. On his head a very peculiar helmet, in the kunoichis' opinion, from the man's front it looked like a diadem but it covered the man's forehead and his entire scalp and on the sides of his head what looked like chainmail covered all the way until it blended with his armor. While none of the man's hair could be seen due to his helmet the rest of his face could be seen by the kunoichis. On his hip was also something that the kunoichis thought to be a little strange, a hammer, short enough to be wielded with one hand, had a handle wrapped in leather while the head looked to be made with the same material as his armor. While they thought he was a good looking man what really caught the kunoichis attention were his eyes, they were pure white eyes with no iris and no pupils.
The man said what the kunoichis thought to be a greeting while removing his helm to reveal his raven black hair and a smile reaffirming the kunoichis believe that he was a good looking man. The man kept on talking to them but they could only look at him in confusion since the man talked in a language unknown to them. Seeing that the girls in front of him seemed lost to what he was saying the man closed his eyes in what the women thought to be thinking, after a moment of silence the man opened his eyes.
"Hello? Can you understand me now?" –Said the man to the guards who gave a sigh of relief
"Yes, yes we can stranger" –Responded one of them with a smile
"Oh thank Odin! I am new around this place and I never used this language before" –The man laughed a little embarrassed.
"You have never speaked Japanese before?" –Said the other women in a surprised tone
"No I haven't, I can do it with a little device of mine"- Said the man with a grin- "Now as I was saying before you could understand me" –Said the man with a joking tone making the women giggle a bit- "My name is Ragnell Dawnbreaker and I would like to have access to your town of Konoha"
"Well sir I need to see your papers and also know the reason of your visit"
"Well the reason of my visit is to speak with your leader the Hokage I think it's called and also for personal reasons which may involve a more permanent stay in this town"- Ragnell said in a very formal tone- "as for my papers I think this will do"
Then the man out of thin air, the guards thought, got a set of papers which he gave to the guards. The women looked a little suspicious of this but looked at the papers anyway, then looked surprised and one of the asked
"This is a passport signed by the Fire Daimyo himself! How do you have this!"
"Well the Daimyo is a good friend of my father so when I came to this land I looked for him first, the daimyo and his samurais do know how to speak Norse however… Well after our talk he gave me this papers and told me to come here to Konoha and look for the Hokage and that she would help me with my situation"
"I see, well the papers looks to be in order so we can grant you access, but I don't think the Hokage would be at her office this late so you will need to wait until tomorrow to make an appointment"- One of the guards said to Ragnell causing him to frown a little at this
"Well it's not a problem to be honest, if you would be so kind in telling me the directions of a place where I can spend the night"
After a little chat, Ragnell started going in the direction the kunoichis gave him just to stumble into a scene that made his blood boil. A group of men kicking, punching and screaming at a little kid who was crying on the floor, seeing this Ragnell quickly took the shield out of his back and wielded his hammer running to the men
"What is the meaning of this!" –Screamed Ragnell to the men making them look at him in confusion, they were not worried because he was a man and not a kunoichi
"We are just teaching this little demon over here a lesson now either joins us or join him in the punching session" –Said one of the man not even bothering to stop kicking the kid making Ragnell furious at the man
"Stop this foolishness at once or I will be forced to stop you!" –Ragnell said defiantly making all the men stop and start circling him
"Well bring it on kid, let's see what you got!" -Said one of the men who had a pipe in his hand and used it to swing at Ragnell who didn't even bothered to use his shield, instead in a show of speed just sidesteps and drove his hammer into the man's stomach causing him to fly across the street and crash against a wall…
Meanwhile on the Hokage's office a woman with wild brown hair and red lines at each cheek and the Hokage herself were frantically yelling at each other
"That child! Where the hell could he have gone! He knows he can't go away without someone watching him!" – Said the Hokage almost yelling in anger and worry
"He can't be so far away Hokage-sama he must be somewhere near" –The woman said to the Hokage while she was giving instructions to a couple of ANBU ninjas to start searching for Naruto
"I know Tsume-san it's just that it's really late and who knows what could happen to him if he happens to stumble in a bad place… I need to go search for him, Tsume-san please come with me"
"Of course Hokage-sama" –Said Tsume while following the Hokage who was running ahead of her
"Are you okay little one?" - Asked Ragnell in a gentle tone to the kid crouching in front of him who looked at him with big surprised eyes
"Thank you very much sir!" –Said Naruto in a pained tone, a busted lip and pain in all his body making it evident that he was in a very bad shape after what happened with the men, speaking of the men a couple of them had escaped, but the ones who remained where there because they were unconscious and inside of some crater with the shape of their bodies.
At this scene the Hokage arrived, after giving a look at the stranger and the shape that Naruto was she screamed at them making Ragnell lift Naruto with his shield arm holding him close
"If you wish to hurt this child, begone of suffer the wrath of my hammer!" –Ragnell yelled while pointing at the Hokage with his hammer
"No sir! She's my Obaa-chan!" –Yelled Naruto at Ragnell making him drop his offensive stance and placing Naruto on the ground
"Oh I see" –Ragnell said while Naruto ran at Saru while she hugged him and yelled at him for running away while Tsume was doing the same
"And then they started to hit me and yelling things at me, but then this sir came and hit the bad men with his hammer and saved me!" –Naruto was happily telling the events that happened to the Hokage who looked at Ragnell
"Thank you very much Sir, you have done me a great favor by protecting this kid, had you not arrived in time who knows what kind of damage could these… people done to Naruto. I am Hiruzen Saru, Sandaime Hokage of Konoha" –She says to Ragnell in a very pleased tone
"Oh you are the Hokage? Pleased to meet you Lady Hokage, my name is Ragnell Dawnbreaker"
"Dawnbreaker? Now that's a name that I haven't heard in quite some time" –Said the Hokage in a surprised tone. –"Now Ragnell-san I would like to have a chat with you after we take Naruto-kun to the Hospital to treat his wounds"
"Oh if you don't mind I can take care of that. Heal!" - Said Ragnell while putting his hands over Naruto's head. His hands covered in a bright white light for a moment and the Naruto's wounds seemed to disappear as if nothing had happened to him in the first place.
"Wow it doesn't hurt any more Baa-chan!" –Said Naruto happily while Saru was awed at this
"Interesting skill that you have Ragnell-san"
"Oh that? It's a basic healing Tech, nothing too impressive to be honest" – Said Ragnell with a little grin
"Well now all that remains is taking care of the thrash. Tsume-san can you please gather this… things" –Said the Hokage while looking at the unconscious men with disgust- "and I will send a squad of ANBU to take them to the T&I in a while"
"Of course Hokage-sama" –Said Tsume while lifting one of the men and throwing him without any care on the side of the road
"Well Ragnell-san now if you follow me we can talk more privately in my office" –The Hokage then started walking to the tower with Ragnell and Naruto following her.
