Syndicate: Chapter 2
The three individuals stop at a dark warehouse in the outskirts of Tokyo. The three individuals looked at the warehouse within the van and noticed a few armed men patrolling the outside of the building.
"Alright everyone, mic up," Naruto said as he grabs three headsets and wears one himself while handing the other headsets to his partners.
"I'll be on the outside scooping the area, I'll give you any important details on the outside," Kiba said after dropping the two partners off.
"Thanks again, Kiba,"
The van then drove off to a different location to get a better vantage point. Naruto and Gasper went to hide behind a few crates present around the warehouse to not put much attention on themselves.
"Alright, Gasper, grab your weapons. It's gonna be a long night today." Naruto whispered as he grabbed the black case.
"Is it the same strategy today?" Gasper whispered while grabbing his backpack and pulling out two small daggers.
"Same strategy," Naruto mumbles as he opens the black case.
He opens the case to find three firearms. Two were handguns and one was a large long barrelled sniper, but oddly without a scope. These weapons looked a little special from their normal counterparts. The weapons had a odd red streak going up from the handle and straight across the barrel, along with odd scriptures on the straight of the barrel. Naruto begins to load all of the weapons.
Naruto puts both handguns on each side of his body, slipping them into his two side holsters. He then grabbed the long sniper from the black case, closing it afterward.
"Alright, Kiba where is a good spot to start off on?" Naruto said while tapping his headset to communicate with the man within the van.
"From what I can see, you best go to the back of the warehouse. It's less guarded and from what I can see, there's a window leading into the inside of the warehouse." Kiba replied with slight static in his voice due to the headset.
"Alright, you heard that Gasper?" Naruto said while taking a quick glance at his partner.
"Hai, we're not going that way, and we're making a straight dash into the entrance of the warehouse." Gasper smiled.
"Exactly," Naruto smirked slightly while he listened to a grumbling Kiba from the other side of the headset. It was some incoherent babbling about 'blonds never listening to him' or something.
"Alright Gasper, I want you to rush in, while I provide cover from the back. Try not to overexert yourself." Naruto whispered while placing the gun on top of the crate.
"Hai, I'll try to do my best!" Gasper slightly exclaimed while rushing forward into the crowd of armed men.
"Hey whose that kid!" An armed man yelled as he pointed towards the running blond.
"I don't care, shoot him." Another man yelled while moving his gun and aiming it towards the boy.
As bullets were flying, Gasper was expertly weaving past multiple bullets that aimed to take him down. Gasper stayed calm and silent in this whole ordeal, only focused on his goal to take down the very men shooting at him.
Naruto set up his sniper and perched it on top of the brown crate and prepared to fire. Before he began shooting, his left eye began turning red with a slightly feral, predatory new look, as it had a slitted pupil instead of the regular round ones.
The men began to drop like flies
The men looked around shocked to see multiple men drop suddenly with bullet wounds within their body.
"There's another one!" A man yelled before getting sliced by a jumping Gasper.
Gasper landed on the fallen body of the man while looking menacingly at the armed men. Gasper rushed forwards with both knives in hand, his eyes suddenly began glowing an odd menacing red. A slight pulse of red from his eyes was then unleashed. Suddenly three men froze in place as if they froze in time for 2 seconds. Gasper then sliced open their necks in one swift stroke and they dropped to the ground dead.
They didn't even know that they died before they dropped to the ground
Five other armed men looked on in horror as they witnessed their comrades taken down so quickly by just one young boy.
"Gasper, how many are left?" Naruto asked from his headset while reloading his gun.
"It looks like a possible 15 more, outside. I'm not sure in the inside though." Gasper responded while weaving past a rain of bullets.
"Alright, let's make this a little quicker. Go a little crazy Gasper, I'm giving you permission." Naruto said while he stopped firing his sniper.
"With pleasure." Gasper grinned.
Gasper's eyes then glowed a menacing red for a longer period of time. Suddenly every assailant froze in place, ending their rain of bullets. Gasper then rushed forward and made quick work of every man, all with one stroke each. As Gasper's eyes stopped glowing, every man frozen in time dropped on the ground, dead. Gasper dropped to one knee while huffing and breathing heavily, noticeably tired.
Naruto ran over to his tired partner and kneeled down, looking at him with slight worry in his eyes.
"I guess I used it a little too much in one day huh, Naruto-sama." Gasper chuckled slightly with a slight look of pain on his face.
"Gasper go get some rest beside some of those crates, I'll handle the people in the inside," Naruto mumbled as he walked towards warehouse door.
"You did well today…"
Gasper just smiled as he heard Naruto speak and walk off into the warehouse.
Naruto walked within the dark eerie warehouse, the pitter patter of the now soft rain drizzle hit the grey tinted windows.
The light then turned on.
Naruto looked up to see a man in a white tuxedo clapping and staring down at him. The man present had slicked back, jet black hair. He had a slightly amused look on his face. The man was also surrounded by a few armed goons on each side of himself, all standing on a small platform elevated from the ground.
"Welcome Gunslinger-san!" The man laughed as he looked down on the armed blond.
Naruto just looked up at the man with a blank expression on his face, clearly not amused by this black haired man.
"Arisato Kitagawa, famous Japanese entrepreneur. Known for owning a large boating company, which controls approximately 30 percent of Japan's naval transport industry. Also secretly controlling an underground human trafficking ring and a known operative in the slave trade on the black market." Naruto said as he looked up towards the grinning man.
"It seems my reputation proceeds me, not as much as yours of course." The man laughed as he looked at the blond.
"Naruto Uzumaki, alias, The Gunslinger. Famous mercenary and contract killer. Quite well known within the crime circle of Japan. Mostly known for taking otherwise impossible contracts in a regular fashion and completing them…"
"100 percent of the time." Arisato laughed
"It seems like you have done your research, Arisato-san," Naruto grunted.
"Well of course… I want to know what I'm dealing with, and I'm certainly not impressed at what I'm seeing." Arisato smirked menacingly at Naruto.
"To think, the infamous Gunslinger is merely a boy!" Arisato chuckled.
Naruto just looked up with a neutral look on his face. Arisato looked quite unnerved at this as he began to feel slight worry creeping up towards his face, as small beads of sweat began to drop down his forehead.
"Well, there's no more time for some idle chit chat. Let's just get this done with, hm?" Arisato said as he snapped his fingers.
Multiple armed goons began rushing out through doors all armed with different types of weapons, all looking menacingly at Naruto. He looked completely unimpressed at the enemies in front of him.
"Now let's get this show on the road hm? Boys, show our guest a nice warm welcome!" Arisato laughed psychotically.
The multiple men began shooting their weapons all at the same time, hoping to take down the blond individual in front of them. Naruto just looked out in front of him as the rain of bullets flew towards him. His left eye switched once more, and suddenly it appeared as if everything was moving in slow motion.
Naruto rushed forward.
Naruto ran forwards, gliding around the flying bullets. He drew his two guns and silently shot back at the assailants. They began dropping as Naruto danced around the bullets and shot back with grace. It was as if he could predict where the men were shooting before they shot.
It was as if it was a morbid masterpiece.
As Naruto came closer to the shooting men, the men looked on in slight fear, sweat forming at the top of their foreheads. They looked into Naruto's eyes… those eyes promising a quick and painful demise.
Some men began to drop their weapons and flee in clear distress. Some brave men stayed back but unfortunately met their untimely demise.
"Hey! Come back!" Arisato yelled in anger as he looked at the multiple men running away in fear of their life.
And then there were two…
As Naruto walked past the various dead bodies of the previously living goons, he slowly made his way up on the platform that Arisato stood on. Arisato looked at Naruto in fear, cowering on the back wall of the warehouse. Naruto merely looked at the teary-eyed man with slight disgust on his face.
"P-Please, you're a mercenary r-right? I can get you anything you want, money, power, women! Please just don't end me!" Arisato cried out in desperation, trying to cling on any hope he can to live for another day.
"Normally that would be the case but…" Naruto replied with a blank face.
"I hate people like you…"
Naruto drew one of his handguns and fired twice, ending what life Arisato had before this fateful day. Naruto just looked at the man with no remorse on his face and began to walk out of the warehouse. Naruto was slightly covered in blood, but the rainwater began to clear any blood present on his skin.
He notices Gasper sitting by a brown crate and waving towards him. Gasper still looked fatigued but otherwise unscathed. Naruto began to walk over to Gasper.
"So how did it go, Naruto-sama?" Gasper smiled slightly while Naruto began helping Gasper up and began walking towards the street outside of the warehouse.
"It went well…" Naruto said with a neutral look on his face.
Naruto suddenly winced, clutching his head in pain as unpleasant memories began to resurface. Memories he had pushed back for years.
There was fire everywhere. A young Naruto was hiding in a small wooden cabinet, looking on in horror as he saw winged men drag a red-haired woman outside of the burning house.
The men… They took them...
"I'll always love you Naruto…" The red-haired woman cried as she was dragged out by the two men, not to be seen again.
'Mom!'
Gasper looked at Naruto in worry as he notices Naruto's pained look.
"Are you alright, Naruto-sama?" Gasper asked in worry as he looked at Naruto straight in his eyes.
"It's… It's fine…" Naruto grunted as they continued to walk towards the street.
"Kiba, we're done, we'll be waiting in front of the warehouse at the side of the street," Naruto said through the headset he was currently wearing.
"Roger that." Kiba replied as the two could hear the sound of a vehicle revving into gear and moving through their headsets.
As the two were waiting on the side of the street for Kiba, Naruto took a quick glance at the boy he was supporting on his shoulder.
"Say, Gasper…" Naruto mumbled
"Hmm?" Gasper said while taking a quick look at Naruto who looked straight ahead with a blank expression on his face.
"How about we get some ramen with Kiba after this..?" Naruto mumbled as he notices a familiar black van making the turn around the corner in a very abrasive manner.
"I'd love that!" Gasper smiled.
Naruto had a little smile on his face as well.
The van pulled up in front of them, and the windows rolled down. They see a familiar grinning face of Kiba looking back at them.
"What are you waiting for? Get in!" Kiba said with a grin, as the two looked at Kiba with an unimpressed look on their face.
"What? I thought it was a pretty good entry." Kiba said while looking a little dejected.
"Just shut the fuck up and drive Kiba…"
Chapter 2: End
It's ya boi Spark, back once again with another chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I would like to address some reviews I have gotten on the first chapter of the story about Naruto, not being Naruto and just an OC.
Basically, I couldn't find a way for Naruto to be a happy-go-lucky character and still have a tragic background. It just didn't seem right, and there was no way I'm gonna let him become a complete dumbass. I decided to make Naruto's personality more believable due to his background. I also decided to retain some of his older personality like his love for ramen, his compassion, and care for his friends along with some others. He just won't be the same happy idiot in canon Naruto.
Anyways, I appreciate the love for this story and I hope I can keep on entertaining you guys with this story!
