Chapter 3

With only so many shinobi left the main base on this island of Empire City was weakened; with a strong enough attack, they could drive the shinobi off the island. It'd been a week since Hinata showed up, and the three had finally found a secure base/home. One of the larger ruined stores connected to a single apartment above it; it was much bigger than where they were living. It didn't take them long to move in, and set up shop. "Alright, listen up." Naruto said. "In two days, we'll be assaulting the main base on the island." He pointed to the designated point on the map that he'd pinned to the wall. "Now, the two of us can't go in head first so we'll take separate routes."

"Alternate routes?"

"That's right, you'll be getting in via the sewers since there a manhole that's located in the back of the base; you'll attack from the back." He said. "While I attack from the sky." he explained.

"Sky?"

"That's right, I'm going to be levitating over the base; once I'm where I want to be I'll drop to the ground and start attacking." He stated. "They'll be more alert at night, so we'll attack in broad daylight." The five were shocked upon hearing this, to attack during the day was insane. "Look, they're expecting to be attacked at night; attacking during the day will take them by surprise and give us a better chance of victory." Unpredictability, this was their advantage; nobody knew what their next move would be, and this was what made them so dangerous. "Tatsumi, make sure you know the sewer route, alright?"

"Not a problem." The assassin said despite not wanting to go through the sewers.

"Good, Hinata." The girl perked up. "Come with me." He left with her quickly following behind. It didn't take a genius to see that the girl liked the blonde, but he probably already knew that; hopefully. The former shinobi were now outside, Naruto was silent for a few moments trying to think about hat he was going to say. "I missed you." Immediately the girl blushed upon hearing this. "And, I'm so happy to see that you don't see me as the bad guy here; it—"

"I never once believed that you would do something like this on purpose!" Hinata exclaimed. "I know you; you aren't a murderer or a traitor." She believed him just as she always did.

"Thanks, that means a lot to me." He smiled. "And, I have to say that there's some serious potential in that beautiful body of yours." The girl turned bright red. "I've been watching for a while now, and I really want to find a way to bring it out; with my own hands if possible."

"Y-your hands?"

"That's right." He said getting closer to her, his gaze went to the gold inside of her. "I bet that it's amazing." The girl began shaking as the blonde got closer. Naruto's thoughts went to what Hinata's power might be, the various thoughts made him excited. He looked to Hinata, still smiling. His movements were swift and gentle as he grabbed her hands. "I want you to fight by my side, the three of us could be an unstoppable force; we could drive the shinobi out of Empire City for good." He said.

"But, I can fight by your side the way I am; give me a chance I'm strong enough."

"I know you are, I can see it inside of you, but your powers are still dormant." He said much to Hinata's confusion. "When I find a way to bring them out, you'll become even stronger than you are now; I'm at least five times stronger than I was when I came back." Lifting up his left hand, he concentrated a bit, and moments later he created a rasengan created out of electricity though it looked like a normal rasengan with chakra. "I'm sure you noticed that all my chakra is gone, and these powers replaced it; at least my healing factor is better." He said as the rasengan dispersed. "Then there's this." His hand was covered in an ethereal red and black energy. "I haven't used it yet, but—" the ethereal energy suddenly went inside of Hinata causing him to collapse as well as Hinata. The girl could feel pain coursing all throughout her body, it was like her insides were on fire. Naruto was straining to catch his breath while Hinata was on the ground in pain. Instinctively he looked to her with his radar vision, he could see that she was changing with her chakra being the first to go. "Hinata—" he reached out to her only wince in pain. "Wait a second, it's coming back." Her chakra coils were gone, but her chakra was coming back only it was mixed in colors; green and blue. A few minutes passed, and Naruto was able to stand once more, but Hinata was unconscious. Though he felt stronger, something more important stood out; he'd just activated Hinata's powers. Picking the girl up, he headed back inside to tell everyone what he'd just done by accident. Sadly, Hinata would be out cold while her body properly changed just as his, and Allen's did.

2 Days Later – Empire City – The Warren District

Naruto was nervous as he prepared to levitate over the main base, it wasn't as big as he thought, but it would still be a serious fight. "Alright, here goes nothing!" the teen ran to the edge of the building and moments later, he floated in the air. Moving faster, and higher; he did his best to not let anyone see him as he was now over the base. He was ready to attack. "Tatsumi, you in position?" he asked speaking into the COMM that allowed Tatsumi, Temujin, and himself to speak to each other.

"Almost, do you want to attack first, or should I?" he questioned.

"I'll go first, you'll know when to come out."

"Wait for the screaming?"

"That's right." They understood each other, and how they fought; Tatsumi was able to rival Naruto. A few more minutes passed.

"I'm in position." Tatsumi stated.

"Alright, here I go!" the blonde let go, and began falling to the ground while his body was coated in unstable electricity. "Thunder drop!" he exclaimed getting everyone's attention. Upon hitting the ground, he sent out a powerful explosion. Everyone caught in the blast were sent to the ground, a single scream echoed as one of the injured shinobi held his broken arm. The ground suddenly exploded from behind the camp, and more screaming was heard as Tatsumi went to work. "Now then, who's first?" the electricity surrounding Naruto's body crackled violently as he entered E.E.C mode. The blonde was suddenly forced to dodge a sword, his eyes narrowed upon seeing his attacker was an Anbu. The two were quick to clash with Naruto creating an electrical blade that came from his hand. Blades began to clash over and over in a battle to land a least one hit. Naruto caught a glimpse of his opponent making hand signs. He erected a polarity shield just in time to block a barrage of fire balls, charging forward, the shield hit the Anbu, and exploded on impact. The Anbu was sent into through the wall that protected the base.

"Behind you!" Tatsumi exclaimed, but it was too late. A sword stabbed Naruto in the back, and came out the other end; the blonde looked down to see the blade sticking out of his chest. His attacker smirked. "Naruto…" the blonde was silent, but the fact that he was still standing was what shocked everyone. The blonde groaned as he did something that shocked everyone even more. Naruto grabbed the blade and pulled it out; he threw the bloody blade to the ground as his wound healed moments later. Naruto had the best healing factor out of everyone, but the sword had been mere inches away from his heart, so he was extremely lucky the blade missed. The blonde looked in back of him to see the kunoichi who stabbed him in the back, she was knocked out moments later. Going into E.E.C once more, he went on the offense once more prompting Tatsumi to do the same. The shinobi were quick to fight back. Tatsumi allowed the shinobi to rush him; this allowed him to easily take them down. Mobility was crucial as he kept moving while fighting his enemies. But he didn't kill them. As the battle went on, Naruto noticed that his friend was getting very worked up with each passing second; something was wrong.

"Tatsumi, you can—" the young man let out a sudden outburst of power.

"Hu..ma..ns!" he muttered, his teeth now fangs and his nails turning into claws. Faster than any of them could react, he let loose a violent torrent of fireballs. "Hu..mans!" he growled. "Humans!" he exclaimed much to Naruto's confusion, and surprise. Blood suddenly stained Tatsumi's hand, his arm had just gone through a man like wet tissue paper. The young man couldn't help himself, and Naruto knew this.

"So, it's hitting him harder than it hit me, and Hakase." He said knocking another shinobi out. "The feeling, no, the instinct to kill…" Tatsumi was tearing through the shinobi without mercy. "humans." The feeling hit him the first time he fought using his powers, but he was able to snap out of it; he made sure that it wouldn't affect his judgement while Hakase was easily able to suppress it. But, it was hitting the assassin hard and was likely because he was so used to killing his enemies. Holding back like he'd been doing must've been putting pressure on his instincts that he was able to keep under control. But, there was a single thought that none of them could get out of their heads; they were superior to humans. It wouldn't go away. Naruto was snapped from his thoughts when Tatsumi grew a pair of grey wings, the blonde paled and quickly ran away. The explosion could be heard through all the islands, but thankfully it only turned the base into a crater; taking all the shinobi with it. "Well, this should give any remaining shinobi on the island to flee." At least he hoped so.

A Month Later – Empire City – The Warren District – Base/Home – Nighttime

Hinata's chakra had changed immensely as evident by the two colors; green and blue. Her green chakra was more for healing as showed when she healed the wounds of those who had suffered by the hands of the shinobi. She was powerful enough to the point where she was able to cleanse people's bodies of infections and various sicknesses, of course there were some things that she couldn't heal. Then there was her blue chakra, it was what enhanced her intellect, perception, and gave her hyper cognition; this was what allowed her to create safety measures in case of certain incidents that may occur in the future. Then there was Tatsumi, who was more than embarrassed by the fact that he allowed his instincts to take over. The incident forced Naruto to conclude; they would have to kill people as things progressed. They left Hakase out of it of course, she was a child after all; Nano would do her best to keep her creator in the dark. Now however, Naruto and Hinata were relaxing while Temujin, and Tatsumi went out to find some food.

Naruto had his arm around Hinata while she rested her head on his chest. This quiet, this peace; it was what they desired. They didn't have to worry about fighting for the time being as the Warren was becoming better for everyone since people weren't afraid to leave their homes. "Naruto-kun."

"Hm?"

"What's going to happen when this is all over, what are we going to do?" Hinata asked wanting to know if the blonde had a long term plan.

"I haven't really thought about it since none of us know what's going to happen during all of the fighting, it could all get really bad or it could become really good; we don't know yet so all we can do is plan piece by piece as time goes on." He explained. "But, there'll be a time when I can think up a long term plan." Hinata was silent for a few moments.

"Are you scared?"

"Yeah." He stated. "I don't know what's coming next and that's what scares me, but the thing that scares me the most is losing more of my friends." He pulled up Hinata's head so that he could look into her eyes. "I don't want to lose—" he was silenced when the girl kissed him.

"Don't worry, you won't lose me." She said. The blonde smiled, her reassurance made him happy. Hinata was shaking as she thought about what to do, she took a deep breath and then pulled the blonde in once more. All Hinata had was what she heard from women in the village. Her tongue swirled around inside the blonde's mouth for a bit before she went for his tongue. 'This is what Naruto-kun's mouth tastes like…' she found herself unable to contain herself as the blonde leaned back, and allowed her to be on top of him. 'I love it!' she silently exclaimed allowing herself to be consumed by her lust for the blonde. Her left hand slipped into his pants causing him to flinch, but Hinata held him in place as she began massaging the blushing teen. He hadn't expected Hinata to become so forceful with her advances; her bravery served to turn him on even more. "Naruto-kun, I want you…inside me." Her face turned completely red upon realizing what she'd just said to the blonde that she had a crush on for so long. Naruto chuckled, and pulled her in.

With Tatsumi and Temujin

The line to get food had been long and they were lucky to even get a loaf of bread, now they were walking home at night. Neither of them liked it as there was the low possibility of being attacked. "Temujin, take the food and run home; someone's watching us." He said handing Temujin the bags of food. "Run!" the blonde was quick to run away as fast as he could. The presence of their stalker stayed, they weren't going to bother going after Temujin.

"Telling that human to run so you can fight me all by yourself." It was a female voice. "Brave…" he turned around only to see that there was nobody there. "but very stupid." he was suddenly pinned to the ground, his face against the concrete. "I'm not going to kill you, because I need you to deliver a message to your leader." All he could see were glowing green eyes, and a power that was crushing him; he would have no choice but to listen.
