Naruto walked slowly as he could tell his team was safe but no matter how he tried he was unable to extend his senses beyond 10 km.
'What could be the problem?'
'And what are these things?'
'This miasma reminds me of my own condition, is it connected.'
'It might be my only chance; I don't have long left before I lose my soul. I need to find the source here than I might be able to find a cure.' Naruto thought with a serious expression as he felt his aggression raise it was part of his real personality and he would desire destruction for everything but he wanted to be human.
'I was human once and this necklace brings me to the beginning, no matter how much I enjoy going wild I need to lose this personality problem or else I will end up killing everything and losing these emotions.' Naruto thought as he touched the necklace which was warning him that he was in corrupted area
'From the message it seems the whole world is like this, I will need to find the cause and finish it within a year.' He mused with a smile that appeared at the thought of a real challenge with his life on the line
As he entered the forest he heard rapid footsteps and he saw many lizard like beings, it was dark Grovyle. This territory belonged to Dark Sceptile and Torterra, the moment they saw humans the little monsters ran towards him to feed on the nutrients.
"Get lost trash or die" Naruto tried being nice but they just didn't listen and attacked with leaf attack, the barrage of leaves didn't even touch him before they were turned nothing.
"Pathetic creatures with no survival instincts" Naruto muttered with contempt as he held his in front of him and a spiraling ring formed
"Go and die trash"
'Great spiraling ring' Naruto released the attack and the beasts couldn't even react before an area of 50 km was erased leaving Naruto in the middle of a crater.
"At least now they will know not to mess with me and might even attract the real deal." Naruto muttered with a laugh seeing life extinguished by his own hands felt euphorious.
He started walking again and felt that his mood had calmed down somewhat as he took out the pent up aggression. Naruto continued on his path walking straight and never taking a turn, finally after some hours he came across and unusual situation. The beasts were trying to kill another beast, 'It must be different which was apparent from its color scheme.'
'It doesn't show the madness either, a beast without corruption.' Naruto thought and his interest was piqued as he wished to know how the little creature did that.
Naruto locked onto the enemies and flicked his finger; causing chakra spikes to form and pierce the foes killing them instantly. The rescued beast looked towards Naruto cautiously and didn't try to move as it saw what happened.
The creature looked like a cat with beautiful colors and features, it was a Sylveon. It looked at Naruto with its cute little face and showed gratitude and no aggression, "You are an intelligent one unlike them." Naruto muttered as he closed the distance and crouched down, he touched its head causing his chakra to flood its body and heal the damage.
"Nyu, Nyu" The Sylveon cried out in pain as the bones fractures healed and the wounds closed.
"It would have been so much better if Kiba was here we could have communicated now we will have to wait for the bond to form." Naruto said in annoyance realizing the situation
"How did you not become corrupted?"
"Nyu" Sylveon looked at him innocently
"I shouldn't have even tried; okay from now on you will follow me. Let's call you Akame." Naruto said as he placed his hand on the little cat and used thee bonding jutsu.
He stood up and could feel the connection with Akame, "Now let's go." Naruto said as he stored the corpses in his scroll for emergency food supply and started walking again while the little one followed behind slowly.
"Damn you move to slow" Naruto said as he picked it up and sat it down on his hood
"Nyu" Akame said as she rubbed her head against his hair and started sleeping as it found safety at last
'A pitiful creature, how many like it have already died in this mad world.' Naruto thought sympathetically
"Did not think I will find any human habitation with how it's out there." Naruto muttered as he looked at a mountain which looked completely normal except Naruto could sense life inside it
'Now where is the entrance' Naruto thought as he looked around and walked towards the boulder that was blocking the way but from normal eyes it would seem it was part of the mountain.
'I wonder how they carved out a place inside.' He mused as he moved the boulder which was three times his size and rolled it back as he entered.
Inside there was no light but he knew he was in a tunnel, there were two guards here and both were about to attack him as he hadn't shown the code but they were stopped in track by his gravity control.
"Don't be too hasty, I am a friend" Naruto said with a friendly tone but they only struggled so he put them to sleep and left a clone to watch the entrance for threats.
He continued walking inside, avoiding the traps and finally he arrived at his destination where a small town came into his view.
It was the size of a small village but had sturdy looking buildings and some of those monsters which were sane as they weren't attacking the humans. Naruto walked down to the town with casual steps and quickly attracted the attention of the people because of his clothing and demeanor.
"Welcome to Lunar town" A teen girl of 16 with orange hair wearing hot pants and tank top that left her mid riff open. She was wearing a bracelet on the right hand and had a short sword behind her back along with two pistols tied to her legs.
"Thanks but can you lead me to the leader." Naruto said as he appraised her, 'She is weak but seems experienced in fighting.'
"What is your name and why do you need to meet the leader?" She asked with curiosity showing no signs of wariness, it seems humans had finally stopped trying to kill each other
"Naruto and I just wanted to know more about the world from some one knowledgeable." He said honestly
"Fine as you are also a rare trainer you qualify to meet the leader. It's nice to meet you Naruto, My name is Misty." She said with a extended hand which Naruto took and shook hands
After which she led him towards the building at the center and inside where he was led to a room at the top. Misty knocked the door and then opened the door, inside Naruto saw a beautiful woman in meditation. She had long blonde hair and wore white clothing as they entered she opened her eyes and looked at Naruto.
"It seems Sabrina succeeded." She muttered with a smile
"How did you know?" Naruto asked
"Because of your aura, it is alien and that energy doesn't exist in this world." Lusamine said as she stood up
"So no need to explain things, tell me what I need." Naruto said as he walked towards a chair and sat down
Misty on the other hand was shocked that she had been just walking with the new hero of the world, 'No he still has yet to prove that title.' She calmed down and stopped herself from acting unprofessional
"You are really carefree, aren't you afraid we might kill you." Lusamine said with a serious expression
"Haha, kill me. That's a good joke woman, even if I did nothing you couldn't do that in 100 years. Just get on with it before I get bored." Naruto said with a chuckle
'Really an arrogant ass' Misty thought as she saw him act
"That's really arrogant of you but we will let the world decide. Now you want to know what is our goal isn't it. The source of Miasma is in the deepest parts of the dead zone but before even thinking of entering the place you will need to fight the guardians as the entrance has a barrier which messes with your mind and send you to random locations." Lusamine explained calmly unlike Sabrina she wasn't really dependent on an outsider until he showed results
'I am not a princess that needs a prince to save her from trouble.'
"So where are they?" Naruto said with no reaction as he put Akame on his lap and patted its head gently
"All of them are scattered around the world in their own territories, there powers also differ from each other. The closest one from here is Dark Moltres the undying bird pokemon, it lives inside the volcano 150 miles from this location." Lusamine said with a smile as she wanted to see if he could actually beat this pokemon who was one of the top in the world
'if he wins I can at least hope that he might win against the others but if runs away or dies it is all lost soon the legendaries might take action.'
"Okay I will go take care of it while you prepare the map for the rest so I don't need to come back here, I don't like being around weaklings of spirit and physique." Naruto said without any sympathy for the pain these humans felt
"Are you sure?"
"Yes" Naruto said as he got up and threw a tri pronged kunai at her feet
"Throw it if you need my help, I will know and I can teleport where it lands. I might not feel anything for outsiders but it not just you guys it's everyone so don't take it personally. I am trying to be nice that is all, so don't think too much." Naruto said as he walked out of the room
"That guy has screw loose and are we supposed to rely on him when he doesn't even care. What were the conditions for the summon?" Misty said in frustration
"Someone strong and would do anything to erase the darkness." Lusamine said as she felt her mind churn with different thoughts
"Doesn't that mean he will kill us all if necessary?" Misty said with nervousness
"I don't think he had do that, too proud for such an action. If you are so worried why not accompany, who knows he might get attached to you and help us with real intentions." Lusamine said with a smile which conveyed what she wanted
'The honey trap, let's if it works or not.'
'Did he notice Nihilego?' Lusamine questioned as she looked at her partner in the corner of the ceiling, completely transparent and she only knew because they had deep connection
"I will do it boss but if I die take care of my sisters, they have done their part." Misty said with determination remembering her sisters that had become cripples because of a battle with one of the large dark Pokemons
"Don't worry I will take care of them." Lusamine said in a gentle tone
"Thank you boss" Misty said as she ran after Naruto
'What a silly girl, how can we keep taking care of liabilities?'
"Wait up Naruto" Misty shouted as she saw him up ahead near the tunnel
"What is it?" Naruto said as he turned around
"I am coming along, I want witness it with my own eyes."
"Interesting, but don't complain how I do things or I will throw you away." Naruto said as he started moving again and Misty followed along with Togekiss on her shoulder as it had shrunk itself
Naruto exited the place along with Misty after waking up the guards, with her guidance they walked towards their destination.
"Why do you act like that?"
"Did something happen to you?" Misty asked as she wanted to know why he was such an asshole
"Nothing happened, I am freaking assassin. What do you expect me to be, a nice guy?" Naruto said while shaking his head at the ridiculous thought that just popped inside his head
'Talking to people instead of killing them, now that's really retarded'
'Assassin, seriously are we supposed to trust this guy.' Misty thought with disbelief but as she continued walk alongside she could see that he was reliable as the beasts that would cause her trouble were erased without doing anything
'If I could get this guy then we might even be able to build a real safe haven.'
She felt her hope rising as she spent more time with him but it was replaced by absolute horror as she saw a Mutation 3 Flygon. It was huge, 30 m from head to tail and 10 m in height. It charged towards them and opened its jaw firing a beam towards them, 'We are dead.'
"Finally something good" Naruto muttered happily acting complete opposite of Misty
Naruto raised his hand and pointed at the dragon, 'Golden wheel explosion.' A golden beam traveled from his palm clashing with the hyper beam, it was a technique he had copied from his friend Toneri after almost killing him.
'Good times'
The beam clash didn't last long and within two seconds the golden beam had traveled up but this beast was smarter than the usual and quickly moved its head away so the beam missed it only erasing a piece of its flesh.
"Roar" It screamed in anger and pain, flipping its wings twisters formed around them
