Outside of the HQ:
The mysterious special Titan ravaged outside of the building as it caught one titan in a joint lock effectingly sweeping it off its feet and making it crash into two smaller titans that died instant under the impact. Slowly it turned towards two more incoming 15m class titans as it gave a loud and strong battle cry.
"ROOAARRGGGHHHH!"

Inside HQ:
"It's okay, the titan fighting outside is stronger than its normal peers," assured one soldier. "As long it keeps ravaging outside, the building will be safe." "Plus we have some really strong people here with us!" one soldier quickly added.
While the other soldiers commenced with one another, Reiner however approached Connie and ask, "How much do you know about that titan?"
"Who cares. It saved us," he replied.
"Heh..true enough...saving us is the first step.." Reiner said as he turned his attention elsewhere to the nearby trio of shinobis, Maito Gai, Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki. 'What makes these guys so powerful?', Reiner thought worriedly and while giving them a hardened look.
'What's this feeling?' Naruto wondered.
Suddenly the doors opened to reveal the presence of some returning squad members.
"Okay we found some supplies under policemen control but they are rather dusty," a returning soldier stated as he started handing out guns and ammunition to everyone in the room.
"Oh I remember these!" Naruto remembered. "The guards at the Blood prison had one these!", Naruto happily exclaimed as he childly started to point the dangerous metal boom stick around making some nearby soldiers think, 'Seriously? This is the guy who took down numerous Titans without breaking a sweat?'
"Naruto, this isn't exactly the time to play you know," chided Kakashi.
"Oh sorry, got carried away Dattebayo. Heh heh."
'Yet you wonder why you're still a Genin...' Kakashi quietly thought to himself examining the weapon.
Yes, guns existed even his world but were highly unpopular due to the fighting style the shinobis used. Sure, great for frontal assaults and an army, but the reload time was the main problem whereas one can get showered with exploding Kunais or shurikens within seconds if not paying attention.
"Can we really fire our bullets with these guns?" Jean questioned. "Are guns even that useful? What difference would it make to a titan?"
At this time, Armin decided to speak up.
"I suppose it's better with them rather than without, I say. The room below has 3-4m class titans and with this amount of firepower at our disposal, we can blind them all at once," Armin explained as he filled in everyone on what was the plan.
First they would load at least fourteen people onto a lift where they would attract all the titans while another seven would hang on the ceiling tops wait for the signal to strike them all down at once when the titans are blinded by gunfire.
"Not a bad plan," Kakashi praised. "To think of this with such limited men and resources. You would be a great tactician," Kakashi said as he remembered the laziest yet smart member of Konoha 11, Shikamaru.
"It's not all that great, is my plan really the best option?" Armin asked worryingly unconfident with himself. "All I'm doing is just dumping the burden on my comrade's shoulders."
Armin then felt a hand on his shoulder, turning to see it belonged to Gai. "There will be times where everything won't go as planned. But this is your best option as of now. Your comrades believe in you so you should believe in them too," Gai said with everyone behind him giving a warm and approving smile.
"Alright. Let's get started!" Armin proclaimed with a newfound confidence in himself.

"Heh 3-4m class titans. We'll just have to aim for their weak spot" Reiner said rather haughtily with his group going down the stairs to get into position for the plan. "But...without any of our movement gear.." replied Connie.
"Forget the size guys, we'll just have to work out our way from head down to the neck."
"Either way, in case all fails, just shove these up their ass. That is the 2nd of one of their only weaknesses," Reiner gestured to his blades jokingly.
"No way! I never knew that was an option,"replied a fascinated Connie.
"Careful Reiner, those may be your last words," Jean added grimly.
"Wait a sec. Where did they go?" Sasha looked around frantically.
"Who?"
"The three new guys of course!" as she said while the entire team took a good look around them only to see nothing.
"Heh. I could've sworn they were right behind us minutes ago," said a now increasingly worried Reiner. "Oh well, let's go anyways," as the group continued walking to their destination unaware of the lurking shadows a above and all around them.
"You think they'll be fine Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"This is something they have to workout for themselves for their own good. If things go awry we'll jump in if we have to. We can't always fight their battles for them," Kakashi told Naruto as all three stuck back into the shadows following the group remaining undetected.
XXX
Meanwhile, underneath everyone roamed seven 4m class titans rather aimlessly. One was even gnawing on a post for goodness sake. Armin's group just boarded the lift and are now descending to what felt like an elevator to hell just waiting to see what awaits them below.
'Alright, there aren't any more of them. Let's proceed with the plan!' thought Armin.
Just as the group on the lift were visible, all the titans veered their ugly faces towards their direction with a hungry look which scared some soldiers.
"Calm down! Let them close all the way in" said Marco to his fellow soldiers.
Seconds passed by what felt like minutes. Tension was rising within the group as one was holding his gun rather shakily but managed to calm himself.
"Wait..."
The titans grew closer by every step.
"Wait.."
The suspense in the air grew thick as men started sweating profusively.
"Wait..." "Ready.."
The titans were now at arms reach...
"FIRE!" signaled Marco as the rest of the squad discharged their rounds into the Titans eyes efficiently blinding them. The squad had only ten seconds before their eyes would fully regenerate but that was enough time. As soon as the guns went off, other trainees from the ceiling tops jumped off and slashed at the titan's nape of the neck with their blades. However, not everyone achieved their goal as only five out of seven were killed whereas Connie and Sasha failed to dispatch their titans. As this point, the titans have recovered and turned to face the trainees who fell on the floor after their failed attacks.
"Sasha and Connie are in trouble! Go back them up!" yelled Marco while a frantic Mikasa made a mad dash towards them.
"Ahem..uhmm...I-I know that..I jumped behind you and all..and s-struck you f-from be-behind and that was dreadfully impolite.." Sasha stuttered and trembled in fear as the Titan made its approach towards her as she was cornered. "I'm ..really..Sorry!" as Sasha dodged a dive attack from the approaching Titan while Connie backed up into a wall with no where to run.
"Raikiri!"
"Rasengan!"
A loud electric chirping and a bone crunching sound filled the room while the titans simply fell down limp and dead. One had its nape sliced both cleanly and deeply while the other had theirs crushed disfiguringly. Standing on the titans were no other than Naruto and Kakashi who still had his hand lightly brit of blue cackling lighting.
"Everyone alright?" asked Kakashi as he noticed a teary eyed female trainee who was quickly approaching him.
"KAKASHIIIIIII! YOU'RE MY SAVIOR!" Sasha cried frantically now enveloping her savior in a crushing bear hug much to a masked nin's displeasure.
"Err..Are you injured?" asked a displeased Kakashi and his lone eye showing all his emotion. ಠ
"NO! THANKS TO YOU!" cried a still sobbing Sasha who hung onto Kakashi like a life line.
"Then please let go.." replied Kakashi who tried to wriggle and push himself out of the girl's grip to no avail fail miserably as she clung on even tighter crying into his flak jacket.
"Thanks, I owe you one," Connie thanked Naruto. "No problem," Naruto happily replied. "You guys didn't do bad yourselves."
"When did you guys get here?" asked Reiner as he remembered only he and his group were on the ceiling tops.
"We tend to stick to the shadows," replied Naruto with a wide grin.
'These guys. They sure keep things interesting,' as Reiner smiled back at him.
XXX
"They're all down for the count!" cheered one soldier.
"We can finally resupply!" yelled Jean happily.
"We did it!" as the rest cheered and celebrated their operation success.
"Okay let's take it all at once," suggested one soldier.
"Hey. There aren't anymore coming in!" exclaimed another soldier.
"That's because of the one going crazy outside," another replied rather bluntly.
XXX
"Yeah we finally made it!"
"We can finally have a chance to get to safety!" cheered the soldiers.
"I can't believe I yielded to a titan" Sasha said to no one in particular overreacting. "I can never look anyone in the eye ever again!"
"Yeah yeah whatever. We'll all hate you later. For now let's go!" Connie replied as he and the rest of the squads jumped out the windows skillfully swinging through obstacles using their 3D maneuver Gear.
"Naruto, Gai. We should continue following them," said Kakashi as they responded with a nod before dashing out the window like everyone else. However, upon exiting to the outside, they saw something that piqued their interests.
The special titan was being devoured by other titans as it was pinned against a wall.
Not only the shinobis saw this but also Mikasa who maneuvered her way up to the top of the building she was in.
"Mikasa!" yelled Armin while looking up to see where she was going but soon widened his eyes even more. Just above him, the shinobis made a high and quick jump to the wall. Normally this wasn't surprising as even the most basic soldier can maneuver his way anywhere but these guys were just simply throwing tricks out of the bag left and right as they simply stuck to the wall with their feet and started running up it all the way to the top. 'What more secrets do these guys hold?', Armin questioned to himself as he decided to meet up with them and Mikasa on top of the building using his 3D gear.
XXX
"Mikasa! We should get away from here!" said a worried Armin.
"Look at that Titan over there," Mikasa pointed.
As Armin's visioned followed where Mikasa was pointing at, even more shock filled his eyes as he saw the Titans eating the special titan as it roared out in pain.
"Cannibalism!?" wondered a surprised Armin.
'Come to think of it, I've seen my friends die, people jumping and running as fast as us without 3D gear, and people walking on walls so why am I even surprised,' as Armin was beginning to question logic but turned his attention back to reality.
'It ought to be regenerating by now but it's not,' Armin took note of as the other titans continued to devour it.
"If we could figure out what's going on with that titan, we can probably make better on this situation. It was a good chance but too bad..." said Mikasa rather depressingly.
"I concur!" yelled Reiner in agreement. "If we let that titan be devoured, we would none be the wiser. We should dispatch of all the titans clinging onto it," he suggested.
"Reiner! Are you out of your mind? We've barely stuck our heads out of the water!" yelled Jean.
"This titan might turn out to be an ally. How about that?" Annie said rather looking not to interested. "It'd be more of a powerful weapon than any cannon."
"An ally!? Are you serious?" shuddered Jean.
With the Shinobis however, they were being rather quiet observing the situation and listening in on the trainees. Kakashi was the sharpest out of all them and could already tell that something was off about that Annie girl takito note to keep an eye on her later.
Out in the short distance, a deviant class titan appears in which Armin quickly spots.
"Ah! I know that one... It's the deviant that ate Tomas!" Armin confirmed.
At that moment, the currently pinned down special titan gave a mighty roar as it ripped itself out of the other titans grasps and charged at the newly arrived deviant class but at the same time lost its arms in the process.
"ROOAAARRGGHHH!" the special Titan roared its battle cry before it charged then chomped down onto the deviants neck then lifting it up in the air throwing it around like a rag doll killing it. Another nearby 15m class made its way to the special titan ready to feast upon its flesh as well but was met instead with a flying titan's body sent both crashing into a building by said titan.
"Hey. Who was it you wanted to save again?" Jean joked after witnessing such a brutal scene.
The last standing titan now gave a final mighty roar in the air as if to proclaim its victory then suddenly...dropped dead.
"Ah. As expected, it ran out of juice," Jean said. "It's no biggie now is it? We're off!" as Jean slowly started to depart totally unaware of why everyone's gazed is fixed upon the titan's fallen body. Even the shinobis were watching.
"There's no way we could an ally of such a freak," Jean said with his back turned to everyone else. "A titan is after all a titan," as Jean finally turns around to look at his comrades.
"Hey.." Jean said trying to get there attention but instead followed where their gaze were fixed onto. "..Eh?" Jean's eyes suddenly widened along with everyone else.
A person just emerged from the Titan's body or rather the nape of the neck specifically. However, only one person who was the most shocked was Mikasa for Eren, her long childhood friend, emerged from the titan unconscious.
Quickly snapping out of shocked state, she immediately went to Eren catching him before he can fall down. From there she bawled her eyes out as she let out a cry of Joy with a tinge of sadness.
"WAAAHHHHH!" Mikasa cried embracing the unconcious form of Eren as the other trainees along with the shinobis descended from the building for a closer look.
'Eren...that arm and leg got cut off back then, now they're back...back then..the titan swallowed you whole,' Armin thought as he walked closer to Eren, tears threatening to spill out, reaching for his hands.
"What the hell happened...?" Armin said as he tightly gripped Eren hands with his own as tears dripped down his face as he began to cry.
At this time, it was Gai who decided to speak up. "So it was your most youthful comrade who did all this then?" Gai piped up with in a jovial manner as he and the soldiers observed the path in which the Eren ravaged and killed many titans, bodies littering just about everywhere.

Deciding it was time to go, Kakashi took ahold of the situation. "Hey, we should get moving. We're still not safe here," he said with much of the approval of the rest of the squad as they began their trip to the inner walls towards safety. However, just as they made their way to the top of the wall, a line of men stopped them in their tracks armed with both blades and guns.
"Trainee Eren is to stay here for the safety of humanity! The rest of you however are dismissed and are ordered to never speak of this event to anyone!" commanded a brown bearded man who was a captain of the garrison.
Most of the trainees were hesitant at first but had to follow orders as they left Eren's side off to the barracks where they would meet up with other soldiers and rest. By now, only Mikasa, Armin, and the three mysterious newcomers were all that's left who refused to leave.
"Defying my orders would mean you're betraying humanity! And such a punishment can go as far as death. Do you wish such a fate!?" yelled the Garrison captain.
"Who the hell you think you are!? He's done nothing but protect humanity by battling the titans out there and you're just gonna toss him like trash!?" yelled Naruto who was unusually quiet up until now where he showed his more serious side rather than happy. "He's your comrade! How could you do this to him!?"
"What do you mean young man?" the captain asked stoically.
"I see through your lies! You want to kill him now don't you!?" Naruto exclaims shocking both Armin and Mikasa. Kakashi would usually scold Naruto for letting his emotions get in the way of his duties but this situation was an exception, so he decided to let Naruto continue while warily keeping an eye out for any sudden movements from the troops surrounding them. He decided it was best to pull out his Sharingan revealing the blood red just in case anything gets ugly while Gai was ready to take his battle stance.
"Well we won't let you have him!", Naruto yells as he quickly grabs Eren and makes a run for it down the wall sticking to its side with Eren in his back.
"Eren!", Both Mikasa and Armin frantically yelled as they both trailed Naruto as well.
"After them men!", the captain ordered and he too was about to take part in the chase. "You four, detain these two strangers!" the Captain giving his final orders before departing zooming away on his 3D gear.
"Alright you're coming with us yo-UWAH!" sputtered the soldier who was cut off mid sentence as Gai gave a swift chop to the neck knocking him out.
"Why you little~ huh..?" The soldier said as he and the rest of his friends world started to melt away into darkness before seeing a glint of red coming from the masked man's eye. They all stood there with blank expressions on their faces.
"Mah.. Now that's over, we should probably make sure Naruto doesn't get into any more trouble, eh Gai?" Kakashi said now covering his left eye once more with his headband.
"You know the answer well my Eternal Rival!" Gai replied before both disappeared in a blur.
XXX
Naruto was covering ground rather quickly even when carrying a dead weight but was eventually caught up by Mikasa and Armin. Behind them and closing in fast were Garrison troops ready to detain them. In the end, they were cornered anyways between Wall Rose and the Trost district wall.
"More...I wanna kill more...more...I'll kill em dead.." muttered Eren trapped in his delusions smiling rather uncomfortably.
"Eren...?" a voice called out.
"Huh?" Eren said as he snapped out of his delusion realizing he was surrounded by soldiers only to be protected by Mikasa and Armin along with a mysterious person who seemed only a little older than him and had blonde hair, clad in orange clothing.
"I see you're finally awake from your nap" said the newcomer.
"..Eren!" Mikasa exclaimed glad her friend was okay.
"Eren! Can you move about!? Are you fully conscious!?" asked Armin frantically awaiting his answer.
"Armin..?" Eren said questionably.
"You hear that, he said he was gonna kill us".
"Yeah, 'kill them dead' he said".
"Yeah we all heard. He probably means us," soldiers started saying to one another.
"He intends to kill and eat us," one soldier said confusing Eren greatly.
"Wait..." 'What are they talking about? Why are they surrounding us with those blades? Last time I checked, they were made to kill titans... Why?.. Why are they looking me at me like that!?' Eren pondered but quickly turned his attention to his limbs.
'No way..what I just saw was just a dream right? I still got my arm attached' Eren thought until he saw the torn clothing in which the titan bit off much earlier. 'What the?...' he thought.
"Trainee Eren! You finally came to your senses I see! The behavior you four exhibit makes you look like traitors to humanity!" the Captain bellowed.
"Therefore I'm going to have to decide on how we should dispose of your lives!" greatly shocking the Eren. "Try to pull any tricks or if you leave that spot you're gonna be eating explosives!" said the Captain as the four looks off into the distance to see a cannon aimed at them ready to fire at the signal. "We'll shoot without hesitation!"
"I'll go straight to the point...are you human? Or titan?" the Captain questioned as his men tensed up for a bit.
'What kind of a question is that? Why are they glaring at me like that?!' wondered a even more confused Eren. 'It's as if... they're looking at some kind of freak. Am I a freak then? Is that what you mean!?' "I fail to understand the meaning of your question sir!" Eren responds.
The Captain tensed.
"Are you playing dumb with me!? Goddamned Freak!" bellowed back the Captain. "Try it again! We'll dust you right on the spot! You won't even have enough time to assume your true form!" the Captain provoked.
"Lots of people saw what happened! They were right there, watching you come out of that titan!" the Captain explains telling the group he had to right to eliminate all threats swiftly even if they were troops sanctioned by the king himself.
"I'll have you blown to kingdom come!" threatened the Captain.
"Our defensive strategy is clear on this one sir. We won't be able to get any useful information out of them with the exception of that orange one over there. As you said, it's just a waste of our time and forces" one female soldier suggested.
"IF WE TAKE HIM DOWN NOW, WE CAN TAKE HIM OUT EASILY!"
"LET'S GET HIM WHILE HE'S STILL ASSUMING HUMAN FORM!" more and more soldiers said and agreed frantically.
"ENOUGH!"
Everyone stopped. Nothing was said for the next few seconds. It was so silent, one could hear a pin drop from where they were. Everyone's gaze fixed upon the orange newcomer who was now standing in front of the trio defensively.
Naruto was fuming at this man's words. 'How could this man do this to a comrade?' he wondered. Sure, he understands their suspicion but he should've been given the benefit of the doubt. The looks these people were giving Eren felt exactly like the ones back home when he was younger. He couldn't just simply sit by and let this slide.
"Get any closer and I'll clobber you all," Naruto coldly threatened as he release a tinge of demonic Kyuubi chakra making the air nearby very tense.
"What is this feeling?..." one random soldier wonders as he began to feel weak in the knees and sick to the stomach.
'I never felt so scared in my life by just one guy..' others thought as some others stepped back in fear threatening to soil themselves.
Only a few including the captain held their ground. However, the fear in their eyes didn't betray them as it only intensified as they saw images of a giant fox like monster envelop the young man standing in front of them which gave out a mighty roar that would put any titan to shame.
"You..You're.. just like him..another freak!" blurted out the Captain as he grew more tense with every passing second. "Eren! I'll ask you once more! Are you human or titan!?"
Eren pondered hard on this question, 'If I screw up on this answer, not only I will die,' Eren thought also thinking about the safety of his friends. "I'm Human!"
...
Silence filled the air.
"I see," the Captain responded as he wore a grim face. "Please don't resent me for this.." the Captain said grimly as he raised his hand to start the signal much to Eren and Armin's horror but Mikasa kept a straight face the entire time as Naruto glared hard at the man.
"We have no other choice..you see, no man have ever been in the position to see the evil within their own hearts...please forgive me," the captain ended his sentence with hand raised high in the air as the cannon squad took notice of the ready signal.
"Stay behind me guys," Naruto said protectively. "I swear on my ninja way, you will get out of this safely," Naruto promised as he turned his head to smile at them.
From there, time seemed to slow for Eren as Mikasa quickly grabbed him and Armin planning to escape up the wall using her 3D gear. A flash of brass colored metal suddenly caught Eren's attention as he realized it was a key wrapped around his neck like a necklace. He finally remembered his promise his dad made with him to show him what was in the basement the entire time. 'Why am I suddenly remembering this?' Eren thought as the Captain's hand finally dropped down signaling for the shot to be fired.
...
Silence reigned.
Nothing happened.
"What's going on?", the Captain asked to no one in particular with Eren's group wondering the same thing. Only Naruto looked straight ahead at the Captain. In fact, he didn't even bother moving a muscle. 'Did he know this was going to happen?' wondered Armin.
"Captain!" alerted a soldier with a spy scope in hand. "The cannon squad has been disabled!" shocking many other soldiers nearby.
'Another traitor!?' wondered the Captain. "Who did it!?" he asked as the soldier handed him a spy scope to let him see for himself.
The Captain's eyes widened. The four people assigned to the cannon were tied up, unconcious with two people leaning on the cannon just waiting to see what would happen next down to where he was. One man was totally clad in green while the other sported a blue mask and a headband covering one eye. The one wearing the mask who was reading a small orange book at the time then closed it gave a thumbs up the people below as if he knew he was being watched before returning to his book.
'How dare they mock us...' the now enraged Captain thought angrily.
"Men! CHAARGE!" the Captain ordered with a strong voice seeing as they need to captured now.
Many were very hesitant at first but drew the courage follow the order anyways. After all, it's only four people against an entire squadron they thought as they drew closer with their blades. The only thing between them and their objective was the orange blonde haired knuckle head.
'Heh heh. How about we give them another big scare eh Kurama?', thought Naruto.
"Hmph. It is always fun to see your kind soil themselves. Sure. Why not?" Kurama concurred as Naruto smiled rather mischievously.
Soldiers were only a few meters away from Naruto as he stood still with his eyes closed.
"Ha. That looked easier than I thought", muttered one soldier in the back as he began his charge. "What the-?"
Said orange ninja started to have a golden aura surround him until it engulfed him completely. Some soldiers began to take notice of his new form as strange symbols and designs emerged from his body giving it rather an ancient look to it but however, what happened next nobody expected.
The golden aura once again underwent a transformation and exploded outward taking shape of a giant golden Kitsune's head as it gave its mighty roar.
"GRAAAARRGHHH!" roared the head as it sent a small shockwave that sent soldier flying back a good distance as some crashed onto the floor hard or crashed into other soldiers.

Elsewhere:
"Prepare for the shocking Lariat! WHEEE!" Bee charged at another titan efficiently knocking it back.
"Oi Bee. Do you think the others are alright? It is quite chaotic out here with all these titans roaming around. We can only hold them off for so long without causing any collateral damage" Gyuuki said.
"Swing swing these people go. Just go with the flow yo. Naruto is a strong one so K.O! No need to hurry, so don't worry. Yeah!" Bee rapped.
"Out of all times to rap, you decide to still even do it when this world and its humans are to the brink of extinction... I just hope you don't pass anything down to them..." Gyuuki referred to Bee's Enka Rapping style.
By this time, engineers who were working on a way to stop the titans from coming in through one of the smaller gates had finally developed a net made of Harpoons and iron just finished setting it up thanks to the cover Bee was providing.
"Bee-San! You may stop now! The net is cast and set!" one soldier yelled alerting Bee of their finished progress.
"Time to close the curtains to the hurtin I guess," Bee said as he decided to scout another area full of titans.
"Creating a defensive flesh wall out of the titans themselves was the technological squad's idea. It's holding fast onto those harpoons alright,"Hannes explains reminding everyone that they still shouldn't let there guard down in case all fails or if the colossal titan appears once more.
"What's wrong?" asked Hannes to a nearby soldier who looked really worried.
"Well...our mission is proceeding without a hitch..but...I'm still worried about our companions assigned to the vanguard, Sir" the soldier said worryingly.
"Yeah.." replied Hannes. "As of right now, the less we know, the better. We must concentrate solely on the ambush. Just like we first did during training."
"I understand the three kids who escaped with you five years ago are at the front line duty too," added the soldier.
"Yeah..."
...
Silence reigned between them two.
"My apologies sir...I've said too much," the soldier apologized.
"It's alright," Hannes said unworringly.
"Pardon?" asked the now surprised soldier.
"They're tough kids," Hannes praised. "Each one of them, have an essential skill to help each other survive. Advanced combat skills for the first one, a great mental fortitude for the second, and the third one can count on his outstanding intelligence," Hannes finished looking out into the distance.
"They're fine. I'm sure of it."

Armin who was watching this entire time, took in all of this and concluded that this person in front of him was possibly a bigger threat than any titan he ever encountered before. Taking in his new form, Armin noticed Naruto now had a golden cloak that reached to his knees, horns protruded from where his hair was, and his whisker marks became more defined.
"Heh. Not bad gaki with the partial transformation," praised Kurama while Naruto smirked.

While at the barracks within Wall Rose, the trainees who've escaped told their story of their escapade on how they narrowly avoided death and what they went through just to get some gas in order to escape. A nightmarish hell many thought. Amongst the survivors were Sasha, Jean, and Connie who told their stories enlightening other soldiers on what had happened. However, their brief moment of relaxation was broken when a load roar filled the air along with a shockwave that was felt.
"GRAAAARRGHHH!," the mysterious roar sounded the air.
"A titan!?" Reiner wondered aloud.
"Has the wall been breached!?"
"It's coming from inside the wall!" said one soldier as complete pandemonium set in.
"No way! This is one of our most sturdiest positions! It can't be a breach!".
"What's with that shockwave?!" another questioned
Amongst the crowd of soldiers, Reiner looked on with great concern along with Jean and Annie as they used their 3D maneuver gear to check out what was going on.
"What the hell..?" Reiner questioned as a bunch of dust was still in the air as they waitied for it to settle.
Reiner's eyes widened. "It's that kid again!" he exclaimed as the dust finally settled.
The scene was rather quite suspicious with unconcious soldiers littered just about everywhere and a giant golden Kitsune's head materialized out of nowhere from the blonde haired ninja.

"You guys okay?" Naruto questioned the group out of concern in which they responded with a nod.
Eren focused hard on the key he was holding as he pondered on his new found memory.
"It's no question they're gonna try and attack again once they recuperate" Eren said snapping out of his thoughts.
"I remembered one things though..." Eren said shocking Armin and Mikasa with Naruto slightly interested in what he had to say.
"The basement! The basement back home! My old man said that everything would make sense once I get there..." Eren revealed. "He is also responsible for what I've become... If I go there, I probably will find out the truth about the titans as well!" Eren exclaimed.
'The truth?' Naruto wondered as well. Come to think of it, he did wonder how the titans came to existence as well and why they eat people?
"Damn it!" Eren cursed as he punched the ground. "If he knew of such a thing.. Why did he hide it!?"
"Thousands of men died from the Scouting legion died for that information and the hope it represented for humanity... And it was stashed away in our basement all this time!?... What was he thinking...!?" Eren rather pondered grimly. "Where did he disappear off to for the last five years..?"
"Uhhh..guys.. I think we got bigger problems here" Naruto reminded Eren.
"Ah! Right..." he responded. They still needed to figure out a plan to get out of here alive.
'I'm tired of being useless around here... I realize now that it was only me who was holding myself back to become a burden, not my lack of abilities... I'll get us out of this mess.. NO MATTER WHAT!?' Armin thought with newfound confidence once more.
"Guys! I'll try my best to win them over or die trying! Try to look as much unthreatening as possible!" Armin explains as he gets up to face the mob of soldiers and its Captain.
'Well... He is the smarter one out of all of us' as Naruto thought deactivating his Bijuu cloak returning to his base form believing Armin can actually pull this off.
"Stop right there scum!" bellowed the Captain as Armin slowly approached him and his men. "He isn't an enemy to humanity Sir! We'll yield over any information we garnered regarding the titans!", Armin bargained.
"Quit pleading for your life, we won't hear any of it!" barked back the Captain. "You have already shown your true colors right in front of us and you're still talking!? That's rich!". "If you're trying to show that he is not a titan, show us proof then! Failing that, we'll just eliminate the threat that he is!".
"There's no need for proof!", Armin argued. "It was never on who we should acknowledge him as in the first place!".
"Excuse me!?" the Captain questioned.
"I understand that many people saw what happened, but the they must've seen him fighting off against the titans!" Armin defended. "And they must've seen the titans swarmed around him too!" as Armin explained that the titans treated Eren in his titan form just the same as any human..Food.
Armin's message was slowly getting through as he was gaining supporters from the other side, worrying the Captain greatly.
"Get into position! We're going to attack!" ordered the Captain as men started forming around him once more for another charge.
"Are you sure that's the best choice of action?" said a newly arrived Kakashi with Gai in tow with him both standing in front of Eren's group.
"Captain, those two are dangerous. According to reports, one conjured lightning from his hand that can pierce anything while the other is faster than any one person can register. But what's most frightening is that they killed titans with their bare hands without any 3D maneuver Gear" informed one soldier shocking a good percentage of the soldiers around him including the Captain.
Fear instilled within this man as his hand seemed frozen high within the air ready to signal an attack. Such men that exists like this can possibly take on an army of men like himself thought the captain deciding whether to sacrifice his comrades or possibly fall for the enemie's trick. Tension grew. Suddenly, he felt a firm grip hold onto his risen hand.
"Brittle as a twig, just as you've always been" said the mysterious new man in uniform. "Don't you see how bleak the situation is for you?"che said cooly.
"Commander Pixis..!" said the Captain in a surprised tone.
AUTHORS NOTE:
Hey guys, thanks for the support and feedback! As a first time Fanfic writer, I would appreciate some constructive criticism to help better myself as reading and writing is surprisingly one of my worst subjects.
Anywho, in the next few chapters, I'm gonna focus more on the ninjas as things will calm down in the SnK storyline and I will introduce a villain within this story just as a heads up. Lots of brainstorming for me basically. Makes my head hurt...
Thanks again!
