Hey there! Thanks for all the reviews and advice. I'm fully aware that things aren't really focusing on the ninjas but I swear we'll focus on them a bit more later into the chapters. Things are going to cool down now after the invasion so do not fret! Concerning pairings... Well I'm not too fond of crossover pairings. Do realize Naruto will return to his world eventually. He can't just take a girl over to his home and be done with it. So sorry, no crossover pairs as the SnK realm don't focus on romance a lot. I like to keep things as much Canon as possible. Enjoy!

"I barely arrived here and but I believe I'm catching on fast enough," Commander Pixis stated. "You go take care of spearheading the reinforcements," he commanded the Captain. "As for me... Something tells me I would do well to listen to what these four have to say," as he gestured them to follow him up the wall.
(Dot Pixis... Highest ranked administrator of the southern regions, which includes Trost. A man given full authority regard the defenses of humanity's key districts. Also well-known for his natural eccentricity.)
"I guess I'll never find one," Commander Pixis said as he looked down the wall into the hoard of titans. "I wouldn't mind being eaten by one of those titans if she happened to be a beauty.."
A blood red glowing dot however zoomed by killing titans left and right with its claws as it let out its loud yet unusual battle cry.
"WHEEEEEE!" it cried taking out a titan one after another.
Commander Pixis just simply watched. "A friend of yours I presume eh Naruto? You and your friends have been quite the talk around lately."
Naruto nodded as he called out to his friend. "Oi! Bee Oji-chan!" he yelled drawing the attention of Killer Bee.
'Naruto!' Thought Bee as he saw him at the top of wall waving towards him. From there he decided to cease his little rampages and rejoin with his fellow comrades atop of the wall as he made his way towards him.
'What the heck is that!?' Wondered both Armin and Eren as they never seen something like this before.
"Yo! Naruto!" Bee greeted as he dispelled his Version 2 Jinchuriki form surprising the trio to reveal he really was human except Pixis as he remained stoic as ever.

'What is the commander thinking?' thought the Captain as he kept watch of the group on top of the wall. 'Up there of all places with those monsters, without so much of one bodyguard...'
"Captain, sir! The squadrons have been assembled."
"Ah right..good job..." the Captain turned his attention back to the men.
A sense of dread filled the air as each of the soldiers all had a somber look on their faces.
XXX
"I see.." Commander Pixis said with understanding. "Going into that basement would answer all of your questions.."
"Yes.." Eren replied.
...
"Sir, do you believe me?" Eren asked.
"For now, I'll keep in mind everything for which you can't provide any positive proof by yourself. I believe that is the best course of action" said Commander Pixis. "However...provided you can obtain material that could make sense out of this whole mess... I shall personally see to your protection and that of your friends," he finished surprising Armin.
"Trainee Armin..was it?"
"Sir!" Armin responded with a salute.
"What do you suggest to solve our current situation?" the Commander asked. "Reports say you were a genius tactician" the commander praised.
Armin thought hard observing the gaping hole in the wall at the end of the Trost district.
'Its a long shot to start with but it might just work!' Armin thought coming up with a solution.
"We should utilize Eren's titan powers and block up the hole with a giant boulder!"
Commander Pixis, surprisingly, acknowledged this plan as he walked up and Eren and asked, "Trainee Eren, can you close up that hole?"
Eren whose clear goal in mind, gathered his confidence and responded, "I'll see to it sir! No matter what!"
"Well said! Spoken like a real man!" as the commander patted Eren in the back before walking off to the edge of the wall.
"Call in the staff officers!" The Commander yelled his order. "We need to discuss a strategy!"
"Ugh.. No way! This is crazy... He just went with my plan just like that!" Armin said alarmingly.
"While I agree that there are other crucial factors that need to be covered, I believe the Commander is well assessed on the situation" a new voice responded. The group turned to see the familiar faces of both Gai and Kakashi
"Kakashi-San!" Armin said with shock.
"We heard everything, no need to explain" replied Kakashi as he lifted his hand to gesture Armin to be at ease. "This might be your best choice of action considering the situation. You guys can't possibly repair that gaping hole in time without any Titans attacking you."
At this time, Commander Pixis finally came back with some officers in tow ready to take action.
"We're racing against time" he said rather calmly. "Move out.. Young soldiers."
XXX
"A plan to recapture Trost!?" Asked one soldier in shock.
"As in right now!?" Another asked.
"They've gotta be kidding! We can't close up that hole in that gate! We don't have the technology!" Exclaimed another soldier.
"What are the top brass thinking!? If we enter the Trost district again we'll just die pointlessly!" One soldier said lamentedly.
"Since we can't close up that hole... All we can do is die defending the wall.." Explained another.
"Damn it... What are they?... Glory hounds?" Another speculated.
Meanwhile during the midst of all this talk, one soldier named Daz was reacting rather bad upon hearing the news.
"Again..? We're going back into hell again?" He wondered as his breathing became more erratic.
"...NOOO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" He yelled. "I WANNA SEE MY FAMILY, PLEASE!"
"Daz! Watch it man! You're being too loud!" Scolded Marco.
"You there! I heard that!" Said a Garrison Leader who quickly approached the scene.
"You want to walk away from your given assignment!? Do you!?" Hammered the Squad leader.
"YES SIR, I DO!" Said Daz who was freaking out at this point. "THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF MASS SUICIDE AND IT WILL AVAIL US NOTHING! THERE IS NO POINT" he finished his response tearfully.
"What do you make of humanity... What do you make of the rules? It'd be well within my rights to execute you on the spot!" The man said threateningly as he prepared to pull out his blade.
"...FINE!" Daz replied. "IT'S A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THAN ENDING UP AS TITAN FOOD...!" as he drew out his own blade as well.
Murmurs and calamity went through the crowd.
"Hey... Did you hear that?" Questioned one trainee.
"Hardly surprising given the situation," replied other bluntly.
XXX
"Say... I wish someone would rebel here as well.." One random female trainee said.
"Me too... I wanna choose the way I go down, at least.." Another responded next to her.
Jean who was standing behind her, watched and listened silently with Bertholdt who was just paying no special attention whatsoever.
"Hey you.." One Garrison trooper said as he overheard them.
"Ah!... I was only just joking.." She responded rather sheepishly.
"Do it!" replied the Garrison Trooper.
"Come again?" She asked bewilderedly.
"Make as much noise as possible! With as many people you can!" he pressed on looking rather serious. "There is much discontent within the ranks of the stationary troops. I'll take advantage of the commotion to get away."
"Get away? Where to?" Jean now asked curiously.
"I will go to my daughter!" he responded with a grim face. "The gate here is gonna go down anyways!"
XXX
"It is said before the land fell under titan control... Humanity tore itself apart based on differences such as principles and race" Commander Pixis lectured to Eren as they continued their conversation with the Shinobis in tow who were following them closely from behind.
It was only then until Eren and his group passed by Hannes, much to his delight, that things started heating up.
'Eren!?' Hannes noticed. 'I see you're alright' he thought gladly as he was about to greet them but was quickly cut off by Eren who have him a gesture saying that he was a little preoccupied at the moment. 'Hm? Focus on my mission?!' Thought a baffled Hannes.
'Tch... Damn him... Some way to address his superiors right there,' thought Hannes slightly annoyed. 'Judging from his attitude, I'd reckon Mikasa and Armin are okay...' As he quickly turned back to continue his current assignment. '...?' 'What is Eren doing next to the commander!?' He thought until he saw four new figures walk by also standing next to Eren. 'Who are these guys?' He thought examining their attire and physical features. They couldn't possibly be soldiers he thought because for one, they were out of uniform. Two, they just looked plain out of the ordinary too, yet, their description seemed familiar... 'Ohh!'
Hours earlier:
"Hey Hannes. Have you heard?" Asked a random associate.
"What?"
"Reports are coming in that outsiders went over our walls and helped against the titan invasion," the soldier said.
"Outsiders!?" Hannes said aloud surprised.
"Yep. Not only that but what's most shocking is that they seem to not even need the 3D Maneuever Gear to combat the titans," the solider added greatly shocking Hannes.
"How is that possible!? Without the 3D Maneuver Gear, man has little chance against a titan head on!" Replied a shocked Hannes wanting to know more. "Continue."
"... R-right... Well one soldier who witnessed their combat skills mentioned one who wore a mask and summoned something like lightning in his hand able to slash away the titans flesh. In fact, the titans were not even able to lay so much as a finger on him as if he knew what they were going to do next," said the soldier as he finished briefing all the information he knew to a much baffled Hannes who couldn't believe what he was hearing. There was no way an ordinary man was able to accomplish anything he just heard.
The six men stood on the edge on the wall facing the crowd as the Commander cleared his throat.
"SOLDIERS! ATTENTION!" He yelled with much power to the mob of soldiers underneath him as they silenced themselves to hear his words. "I AM ABOUT TO RELAY OUR STRATEGY TO THE RECONQUEST OF THE TROST DISTRICT! OUR OBJECTIVE IS THE GATE THAT HAS BEEN DESTROYED! TO SUCCEED, WE NEED TO DO TWO THINGS!" The Commander instructed. "REACH IT, AND STOPPER IT!"
...
...
The crowd was shocked.
...
"Stopper it... What the heck?" Marco pondered. "How to do we do such a thing?" As doubt began to fill the air.
"AS THE WAY WE'LL PROCEED, LET ME START BY INTRODUCING THIS YOUNG MAN NEXT TO ME! EREN JAEGAR, FROM THE TRAINEES UNIT!"
"Wha..Eren!" Exclaimed both Connie and Christa.
The commander continued to explain that Eren was the endeavor of an experiment that involved titan shift shaping that was a success. They would use him to lift a giant stone and plug up the breach while others protect him as he do it. However, the reception wasn't so positive as the soldiers began to have less trust in their higher ups and government.
'Even I know such a cover up would sound so phony... At this rate...' Kakashi thought.
"So..this is it... The titans are controlling us now?"
"BOLLOCKS!" Cried Daz in disbelief. "I'm not letting you dispose of my life over that kind of nonsense! What do you take us for!? Throwaway blades!? Hell no!"
"Human weapons eh..."
"What a load of bunk.. How many of us did they expect to take this seriously... You gotta be kidding.." Soldiers said one after another full of doubt.
"HUMANITY IS DONE FOR! I'M SPENDING WHATEVER'S LEFT OF TIME WITH MY FAMILY" Daz said before storming off.
"Hey wait! Do you want a capital offense on your head!?" Said a squad leader.
"They would all have us die today, they would! I'm outta here!" Said the Garrison trooper from earlier.
"Me too!"
"Co-..count me in!"
The trend continued much to the displeasure of the nearby Captain of the Garrison.
"If this continues, we're in trouble.."
"Order is falling apart.."
The Captain decided to take action.
"Say your prayers, filthy mutineers! I'll cut you down where you stand!" The Captain threatened as he withdrew his blades.
The Commander took another deep breathe.
"HERE ARE MY ORDERS! THOSE OF YOU WHO LEAVES THIS PLACE WILL ALL BE PARDONED!"
"Wha!?" The Captain muttered rather confused.
"Titans are terrible creatures, and once someone gives into that fear, they can never face one again!" He explained. "Those of you who have experienced that dread are free to walk away!"
The ones who planned to leave sighed in disbelief as they thought this can never happen to them in their lives.
"Finally!" The commander continued. "Those who are willing to let parents, siblings, and loved one experience such terror themselves are free to walk away!"
Everyone stopped frozen in their tracks.
One Garrison trooper thought long and hard on this as he couldn't bear seeing his daughter in the Titan's grasps.
"That's the one thing I can't do..." Muttered the Garrison trooper. "I can't just let that happen...because... My daughter is.. The very last hope I have left" the man finished as he turned around with many other soldiers to return to the fight.
'Yeah... The whole thing might be a sham after all...but I have to succeed nonetheless...' Daz thought as he returned with tears in his eyes friends around him patting him on the back.
'I have no idea if I'd be able to use that "Titan's power" once more but my duty is clear enough... For the sake of bringing hope!' Eren thought.
'This man is very manipulative and analytical. A strong political and military mind he has indeed,' Kakashi thought as he gave his evaluation of the Commander after listening to all that has been happening.
The commander then went over the entire strategy with everyone as they would be the decoy luring all titans to the corners of the town while Eren and friends would travel alongside the walls and get to the hole where they will soon plug it up with a giant boulder.
"Kakashi-San, Gai-San, Bee-San," the Commander called out to them as they all responded approaching said Commander. "It's probably best you three join the other squads in luring the Titans while your younger colleague joins Eren and his group," he suggested. "I have already seen what that young man can do and I do believe he is fit for the job in case something goes awry."
Kakashi thought for a bit before agreeing, responding to the Commander with a nod.
"Naruto!" Kakashi called out to his student.
"Hm? Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto responded rather lazily with hands behind his head in a relaxed position.
"You go with Eren and his group, and please...try not to cause too much damage.. People's lives are at stake here," Kakashi reminded Naruto.
"Aww Kakashi Sensei... You always get the easy job..." Naruto complained.
"Just get on with it you little brat!" Kurama chided from within Naruto.
"Ugh... Okay fiiiiine.." Naruto agreed to his assignment.
"Now things are settled, let's begin Operation Reconquest!" The commander said as the groups split apart to their current duties and task.
XXX
"Would you guys pick up the pace?!" Naruto complained as he could've literally ran circles around the group behind him as they jogged to their objective.
"It's not our fault you're stamina freak! How about slow down for a change?!" Retorted the Squad leader. Behind him were Eren, Mikasa, Armin and a few other random soldiers as they jogged as well. "Besides you run funny!" The Squad leader added much to Naruto's annoyance.
"Better than being a turtle you slowpoke!"
"Ever heard of 'slow and steady wins the race'?" the man said back.
"Nope. Never," Naruto replied bluntly as he and the squad leader's gaze met each other with sparks coming out of their eyes colliding with each other. They simply irritate one another.
'Damn, this guy is hot-headed,' one soldier thought. 'To even casually argue with our leader...'
Eventually the group was finally getting close their destination to the giant rock close to the hole in the wall.
"Hey Eren, they said you were a human weapon or whatever but I don't care as long you can plug up that hole in that wall..." The squad leader admitted. "We'll make your protection of our highest priority!"
"We'll soon reach the shortest route to that rock and there seems to be no titans in sight. It's seems everyone is playing their role of decoy well.."
Eren's mind wandered to all his friends and comrades.
'Ever since the titans appeared, mankind never had the upper hand... Not even once. Titans were always advancing and humans always retreating... We've all been stripped of our territory.. But once the plan succeeds, we will have stolen ground back for the first time.' Eren thought.
"Over here!" The squad leader alerted everyone as he jumped off the wall with everyone else in tow. "Let's go!"
'The second it's done.. Humanity will claim.. It' first victory..' Eren thought while swinging down the streets as fast he can. They were closing in on the rock and fast.
'Compared to what the titans have taken, it may not seem like much..' He thought as he readied himself for his transformation. 'But for mankind, this is... A tremendous step forward!' He proclaimed while biting into his hand.
An explosion of smoke and lightning took place as a titan's body emerged out of thin air crashing into a building leaving the settlement damaged.
"SUGOI!" Naruto said with sparkles in his eyes obviously impressed by what Eren has done.
"I guess it's my turn now!" Naruto said as he clasped his hands together entering his Kyuubi Chakra Mode. His form gave a off a radiant golden glow as it seemed to pulse everything around it with life.
"Man, they weren't kidding when they said he wasn't normal as well," the squad leader thought as he saw Naruto jumped onto a roof and stood by Mikasa to watch Eren.
Eren's titan form soon got ahold of its footing and pulled itself out of the building slowly walking towards the rock.
It suddenly turns its head around.
'Huh!? What are you thinking!?' Wondered Naruto as he showed some shock in his face confusing Mikasa.
"Eren?" Mikasa said.
However, instead of a friendly welcome, she was greeted with a giant fist sailing towards her as it crashed into the building smashing a good portion of the 2nd floor.
She was about to dodge the fist herself but felt something grab her from the side. She suddenly felt as if she was going really fast as things started to blur around her but stopped when she saw the Squad leader a few feet away from her.
The squad leader couldn't hold in his amazement as all he saw was a yellow flash that was able to save Mikasa bringing her over here in a matter of a split second, dodging the fist of the titan.
"You okay?" Naruto asked before getting a nod from Mikasa.
"Alright, leave Eren to me!" He exclaimed before disappearing in another flash appearing before Eren in front of him.
"Oi! Eren! It's me remember!? We're your friends!" He said waving to said Titan as it readied its fist for another swing.
"Tch... Mission failure," muttered one female soldier as she pulled out a smoke gun pointing it in the air before launching it leaving a red stream. "Alright I got it... We have no such thing as a secret weapon.."
The titan's swing sailed past Naruto as he elegantly dodged the fist by performing some aerial aerobics, quickly latching himself onto Eren's arms with Kyuubi chakra arms.
The titan now tried to make a grab for Naruto intending to squeeze the life out of him but was met with a force great as its own when he couldn't seem squeeze him to death.
With the soldiers, they saw Naruto generated many more Chakra arms efficiently sticking out in all directions holding back the titan's powerful grasp.
Given the opportunity, Naruto slipped out and started to run up Eren's arm in a flash. With one arm extended outward as if he was going to hold something, a blue sphere started being generated as three more smaller ones surrounded it.
"So this is his strength?" Said one soldier as they could only watch the exchange between Titan and the mysterious newcomer.
"Planetary Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he slammed the Orbs into Eren's left side of the face.
The damage it dealt was devastating as a big chunk of flesh and bones were blown from Eren's face as the blue energy exploded outward as well leaving him with only half a head as he started falling back upon impact.
The ginormous Titan being fell as Naruto dashed back onto the nearby building observing what he has done. "Sorry Eren."
The titan finally fell as it's back leaned against the rock as if it were a person relaxing. Steam started sizzling from Eren's Titan forms wound.
"What's the deal!?" One soldier questioned.
"It's one of those brainless titans now," another replied.
"Eren!" Mikasa yelled before a soldier back from recon arrived on the scene.
"Squad leader Ian!" He yelled out explaining there were more titans coming out the gate and several more about to surround them.
XXX
Out in the distance, Commander Pixis and his men watched for smoke signals to see if the operation was a failure or not.
A red stream of smoke shot into the air from where Eren his group were.
"A red smoke bomb from the elite team... The blockading operation must've ran into some serious complications," one female soldier briefed the Commander as she stared off into the distance with her Spy Scope.
One soldier broke down crying as he slumped down into a ball covering his face. "All for nothing... *hic*... Our comrades sir... They all died for nothing.." He said while Pixis and his men stayed stoic as they kept watching intently into the distance.
"Commander Pixis, we must quickly resume defensive formation and head to the gate," one soldier suggested. "We just need your approval."
"No."
"We should order the team to pull back,,," the female soldier suggested.
"No."
"Continue to draw the titans to the corners of the town. As for the elite team, we'll trust the commanding officer in the field to do the right thing," The commander continued on.
XXX
"Red smoke?" Armin asked curiously.
"Does that mean... they failed?" Questioned Marco as he saw it as well.
"How come..."
'Eren... Mikasa... What the hell is going on?' Armin wondered before storming off with his 3D gear to check out what was going on.
"ARMIN!" Marco yelled out to his comrade but was left unheard.
XXX
"Hello! What's the hold up!? Give us the order!" One soldier complained to Squad leader Ian as he remained silent this entire time just thinking.
"This plan never stood on stable ground anyhow! This isn't your fault Ian!" He continued. "Sure its worth a try! But we have already tried enough as it is!"
"Okay! Me and my team are going to climb up the wall!" As he departed to leave.
Mikasa was losing her patience and temper.
Naruto who was sensing this before could already tell she was about to explode any second now.
Sure enough, Mikasa marched straight forward with his blades withdrawn.
"Wait.. Calm down Mikasa," Ian said with his arms extended to stop her in her tracks.
"Team Riko! Take down the titan on the rear!"
"Team Mitabi, my own and Naruto will deal with the couple in front!" Ian gave his orders.
"Excuse me?!" The newly named female soldier, Riko said.
"I'm the one in command! Shut up and follow my orders!" Ian scolded them. "We cannot allow Eren to be defenseless any longer!" Making his team tense up a bit.
"Change of plans! We will protect Eren until he has recovered. Since it would be unwise to approach him otherwise, I say we let him manage something on his own," the squad leader said.
"The potential he represents for Humanity is just too great! It is something we cannot let go of so easily. Because unlike any of us, there is no replacing him," the Squad leader finished making Riko furrow her brows.
"Hundreds of us have already died because of mister faulty secret human weapon... Just on the first try.." She explained. "And let him regenerate? You'll only find yourself in the same situation as before," she referred to his earlier attack.
"Precisely... No matter th casualties or how many tries it will take... Combat must continue," the Squad leader replied shocking his men.
"Ian! Are you mad!?" Riko yelled.
"Tell me then! Tell me how we'll defeat the titans!" He yelled back.
...
...
"A way to defeat the titans? ..Of course... I don't know.." Riko responded now more calmly.
"Right.. If we'd known such methods, we wouldn't have to come to this at all," the squad leader said. "Our job right now might suck... But it still needs to be done."
"Our job is to throwaway our lives for an Obscure human weapon... And to die as bravely as possible.." He said facing reality with a grim face.
"Wrong," said a voice that belonged to our favorite orange wearing hero.
"Naruto?" Ian said curiously on what he had to say.
"Your job is believe in him and each other. Sure, getting your duties straightened out is one thing but faith in one another is also important as well!" Naruto said to his new friends. "Because the most important thing to a person is not how strong they are or what they can do... But the guts to never give up! That's what makes you strong!" Naruto proclaimed as he held out his fist to the rest of team then pound his chest to the front of his heart leaving it there.
...
...
Riko smiled.
"I'm still not buying this plan... But.. However.. I will decide to believe in Eren for now.." She said before departing to where the incoming titans were.
"Riko!?" Ian said in surprise.
"The time for idle chat is over Ian. Let's go!" The other soldier said before joining Riko.
"Right!" Ian agreed.
Mikasa then approached the man. "Thank you for everything squad leader Ian," she thanked the man.
"It's nothing to thank me for.. Plus Naruto made things run a little smoother thanks to his emotional display" Ian chuckled as Naruto gave him a thumbs up. "As if right now, we can't go with the initial plan.. The new strategy will give you latitude to display your skills..."
"Yes sir!" Mikasa responded.
"After all, you are fighting to protect your boyfriend."
Mikasa blushed as Naruto snickered much to her embarrassment.
"He's family," she said rather flushed.
'That's a lie..' As Naruto rolled his eyes knowing how she feels with his new emotion sensing abilities.
"Eh..?" Mikasa turned back to Eren as he was still leaning back on the large boulder still slowly regenerating.
'He hasn't fully regenerated any damage yet?' She thought worried whether he will be okay or not.
'Enough.. No matter how hard I think about it, there will be know way I would know. For now.. I'll just do my thing,' she finished thinking soon departing with her group to protect Eren form the advancing titans.
...
'Naruto... You really have a strange power to change people you know...' Ian thought as he made his way to the titans.
XXX
Eren slowly opened his eyes.. Regaining some form of consciousness.
'What? What am I doing?.. Am I sitting?' He wondered. 'I can't see a thing. Where am I? What day is this?'
Eren slowly opened his eyes once more and saw he was in his old home with his family.
"Hmm.. What the.. Oh, I'm home..." Eren said before yawning. "Sleep..." He mumbled before losing himself in his dreamworld.
Meanwhile, Armin just arrived on the scene to see Eren's titan form leaning on the giant boulder not regenerating as fast as he should be.
"Eren.. What the heck are you doing!?.. Eren!?" Armin yelled.
XXX
Naruto was just finishing off a titan as he slammed it in a building immobilizing it before using his Kyuubi chakra arms to rip off its neck sending blood everywhere that soon evaporated.
"Well at least our clothes won't stain..." He said rather feeling icky with titan blood covered all over his body as it evaporated not leavin a single trace behind.
"Shit.. Behind us!" One soldier said aloud to his group.
One titan managed to get across and was going I to jump over the building to reach Eren.
"A 13m class! Mikasa!"
"Roger that!" She Replied making her way to the titan while leaving behind her group to handle the rest.
"More coming in through the gate, Sir!" One soldier alerted. "Four 10m class heading our way!"
"Heh, they just keep coming dattebayo..." Naruto said along with his catchphrase as he readied himself for another wave, Rasengan in hand.
'With Naruto, the squad will not have much to worry about' she thought as she was confident they would do fine without her as she made her way to the 13m class that was close to Eren slashing its neck killing it.
She looked out into the distance. Her eyes suddenly widened.
'No way! Why are there so many titans head this way?!' She thought worryingly. 'There's barely any humans in this area. Could it be that they're being attracted to Eren?!' She finished thinking.
"Mikasa!" A familiar voice called out to her. She turned to where Eren was.
"Armin!" She yelled back to see him stand on top of Eren.
"The titan's not under Eren's control anymore!" Mikasa warned Armin. "I tried talking to it and it didn't react! There's no point in anyone trying!" As a shocked Armin listened to her words.
"What happened to the plan?!" Armin asked.
"It failed! We fight because we can't afford to abandon Eren..!" She explained. "At this rate, we might get over run by the titans! We can't survive this for too long!"
Armin thought hard, hell bent on saving his close friend as he looked at Eren's titan nape.
"Area from the back of the head, to the nape of the neck.." Armin said to himself. "One meter long, 10cm wide," he said while drawing out a single blade.
"Armin!" Yelled Mikasa who was wondering what Armin would do next.
"I'm going to get Eren out of here! You keep the titans away from here!" Proclaimed Armin as he hooked himself to Eren, keeping himself in place for the procedure. "Eren emerged out of the titan's weak spot... Surely it has something to do with the fundamental way they function whatever that is," as he lifted his blade aiming to cut Eren out concerning a much worried Mikasa.
"It's gonna be okay.. So as long I don't strike dead center!" Armin said. "But it's gonna hurt a lot!"
"ARMIN!" Mikasa yelled before he can do what he planned.
It was too late however as Armin plunged his blade through, running it deep downin the titans neck.
The blade made its way piercing through Eren's left forearm making him open his eyes in pain.
"GRAAAHHHH!" The titan form roared in pain.
"Armin stop! This is crazy!" Mikasa pleaded.
"Mikasa! You get going! You might be able to save a few lives!" Armin yelled to his friend. "Leave Eren to me! Now go!"
...
Mikasa hesitated for a moment but turned and quickly left acknowledging his request.
XXX
"They're everywhere! It's too much to handle at once!" The soldier yelled.
'Tch... If I don't do anything about this, they're gonna die..' Naruto thought as he planned what to do next. 'Ah! I got it'! as a lightbulb went off inside his head.
"Everyone! Lure them to me in a big mob!" Said Naruto to his comrades.
"Alright... C'mon guys! Let's do it!" As they swung building to building bunching up all the titans together as they kept in a small group attracting them all.
Meanwhile, a scraping like noise could be heard slashing the air as it also gave off this brilliant white light.
"Ugh.,. Such a bright light.. What is that?" Riko asked as she squinted her eyes to shield them from the light as she got to safety away from the mob of titans.
There they saw naruto holding what looks like his regular Rasengan , one in each hand. However, they were shrilling in the air giving off such a bright light that it was even hard to look at. But slowly Riko realize they transformed into a pair of four bladed throwing sphere of some sort. One can feel the potency within it by just looking at it.
"YOSH! Thanks for gathering them guys," Naruto thanked as he aimed his sights on the mob of crowding titans.
"Fuuton: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto yelled his own and original technique that he developed as he threw both he made at the mob of titans. At first it sliced through the faster titans who were ahead of crowd decapitated them. But as it made itself into the crowd, both chakra shurikens exploded.
The blast radius was incredible as it was over 40m in length. A dome of slicing wind blades grinded the titans into nothing as it also swallowed buildings leaving not a single trace behind. The blast was felt from all around as the wind pushed many soldiers off their feet as they used their 3D gear to hang on for dear life.
When the dome dissipated, the soldiers were amazed to see all that was left was a huge crater on the ground, almost as long as the wall itself. In that single moment, over thirty-three titans were eliminated.
"Such power..."
"Amazing!", soldiers muttered to themselves and one another.
'If mankind could do such things as he can, many would still be alive,' thought Ian as he watched in awe to such beautiful devastation casted on the titans.
"Heh heh.. All in a day's work Dattebayo!" He shouted admiring his own work.
XXX
"Eren! Can you hear me!" Armin shouted to his friend within his titan form. "Get ahold of yourself and get out of here or we'll all die!"
Eren slowly regained some of his consciousness.
"Don't you give in into some lame titan's body! Now quick! Get out of this lump of flesh!" Armin yelled once more.

'Get out of here? Why?... I feel like sleeping...' Eren thought.
Armin teared up when he didn't get another reaction. "Who is gonna avenge your mother huh!? What happened to wiping out the titans!? You hate them don't you? They killed your mother!" He yelled as he banged on the titans neck with h is hands.
Eren woke up in his dream zone.
"Huh? what are you talking?" Eren asked to an Armin who was banging on his windowsill. "My mom is standing right here," Eren dreamnt.

Naruto released a swarm of mini-Rasenshurikens into a horde of titans killing some but disabling many of them as this gave a chance for the soldiers to wipe them out more easily.
"Thanks for the cover fire Naruto!" Ian thanked. "Team Mitabi, resume formation!"
Just then Mikasa arrives on the scene. She witnessed earlier a great wind dome from a distance away but didn't know the devastation is caused until she zoomed by a crater where there used to be several buildings.
'Such destruction for one person,' thought Mikasa as she continued on meeting with her squad.
"This is Mikasa sir, I'm back! I'll be joining Team Matabi!" She said.

"Eren wake up! Eren!" Armin yelled. "Are you in there somewhere?! Eren!"
"Don't just sit there, or the titans will kill you!" A voice rang inside Eren's head. "It's all gonna end right here!"
Eren looked outside to Armin in his dreamzone. "I still don't get what you're talking about Armin."
"What would I need to go outside for?"
...
"..that's right... What good is it out there..." Eren pondered. "What good is the Scouting Legion?"
...
...
"What happened to exploring the outside world...? We were meant to.." Armin reminded Eren.
"Far far beyond these walls, there are flaming waters... Expanses of ice... And snowfields of sand spreading as far as the eyes can see," He said. "I've been wondering if you still remembered it... But that conversation.. Gave me the impetus to join the Scouting Legion, wasn't it?
Eren in froze in his dreamzone.
"The world..."
"The outside.."
Eren got up from his spot.
"Answer me Eren..." Armin said within mind. "I know the first steps outside these walls will begin our journey to hell, but still... Tell me Eren... What did you want to see the outside for?"
...
...
"I...uh..."
...
"Why..?" Eren said. "I thought it was obvious..." He pondered.
He turned around and looked back to Armin.
...
"It's because.. THIS IS THE WORLD I WAS BORN INTO!" Eren snapped out of subconscious state awakening himself.

"Leader! Most our men are getting tired out and fatigued!" One soldier briefed Ian.
"Five titans are coming through our gate!"
"Leave that to me!" Yelled Naruto as he charged forward. His hands formed his favorite hand sign.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
Ten new Narutos proofed into existence readied themselves for the next wave of titans as they all charged forward onto battle shocking ONCE AGAIN the soldiers.
'Damn Naruto... You really have the solution to every one of our problems don't you?' Thought Ian as he took a quick breather thanks to Naruto.
Suddenly a distinctive earth shaking tremor was felt all around as everyone looked to see where it was coming from. Ian's and Mikasa's eyes widen when they realized it was Eren in his titan form carrying the boulder.
"Eren..." Mikasa said happily.
"Score of titans are closing in from behind!" A new voice said. Everyone turned to see it was Armin.
"Armin!" Mikasa said while he ran up to her.
"Eren got the upper hand! Now he's doing his part!" Armin exclaimed happily. "Let us see Eren to the gate.. And victory is assured!" Armin finished making everyone freeze.
...
Squad leader Ian's face held a new found confidence as he furrowed his brows alongside with his comrades.
"GUARD HIM WITH YOUR LIVES! WE WILL PROTECT EREN ON HIS WAY TO THE GATE EVEN IT'S THE LAST THING WE DO!" He proclaimed as they all charged forward.
"You two! Get back to Eren! That's an order!" Shocking both Mikasa and Armin. "Understand?!"
"Yes, sir!"
Squad leader Ian soon turned to depart but was frozen in place for what he saw next. Team Mitabi running out in the open field to face the Titans. "Team Matabi!? What the!?"
He looked around and saw Naruto and his clones were busy holding off many other Titans from the other side, unable to assist at the moment.

"Those titan scum aren't Snacking on us!" One soldier exclaimed from Team Matabi.
"We just have to run up to them until they do!" Replied another.
"OVER HERE, DAMNIT!"
"OVER HERE, OR I'LL SHOVE MY BLADE UP YOUR SMELLY ASS!
The titans finally took notice.
The team's faces grimaced as they made a break for it back to the buildings to lure the titans over there.
"IT WORKED!"
"HERE THEY COME!"
"RUN!"
"RUN TOWARDS THE BUILDINGS!" They all yelled.
Ian's team watched with shock.
"What are they doing!? Going on the ground like that is suicide! They can't fight without horses or buildings!" Armin exclaimed.
"Wrong... This was the only option" Ian said before making his decision. "PROCEED AFTER TEAM MITABI! FORCIBLY ESTABLISH CONTACT IF YOU MUST! WE'RE MAKING OURSELVES THE TARGETS!" He exclaimed as he jumped down from the building as well with his team ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of being bait.
'I feel ... as if my body is going to break apart!' Eren thought when carrying the gigantic boulder as he narrowed down his vision to his feet to see Armina and Mikasa. 'Armin! Mikasa!... What are you doing!? You can't be here... You'll just end us as titan food!'
Meanwhile Squad leader Ian and his squadron were being caught up by the titans. The first person to fall was a soldier who was lagging behind got scooped up by a titan and gobbled up that instant. Everyone was willing to lay down their lives just so that Eren can plug up that hole.
'I guess this is it for us..' Ian thought knowing he won't be able to outrun them but kept watch knowing he will die any second. The titans began to out stretch its arms reaching slowly for the nearest person it can gobble up. This was it for them...
"Lightning Cable!"
"Asakujaku!"
"Lariat!"
Ian looked up in shock. There zoomed by two masked men (one who he assumed was a clone), a demonic blood red beast, and a man covered in a green aura. The masked man had a line of lightning in one hand while another had one in the other as if they were connected, decapitated and killed two titans as the lightning cable passed by through them.
The green man released a flurry of fiery punches in the air, generating many fireballs as they engulfed two more titans pummeling and burning them to a crisp until there was nothing left.
The demonic beast-like figure charged straight into the final but much larger titan's chest making it tumble back very far until it was buried half way from the head to torso leaving it legs dangling in the air. It wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"Looks like we arrived just in time... After all, punctuality was never really my best trait," the newcomer said as Bee and Gai powered down.
Ian looked on with awe on how such men like these existed but was thankful for their timely rescue as he sighed in relief.

Eren continued carrying the giant boulder to its intended destination.
'We were all born free... All of us... And if anyone tries to take that away from us, it won't matter how strong they are,' Eren thought. 'Flaming waters, Icy landscapes.. Or whatever.. Whoever gets to see these things can call themselves the freeest person in the world...FIGHT!' he continues thinking as he gets closer to the hole in the wall.
!'That is the sort of thing... Which is worth dying for,' Eren continued while his comrades looks on with a smile.
'The world out there might be a scary place. No matter. The world out there might be cruel. No matter. JUST FIGHT!' Eren thought as he reached the hole in the wall.
"GO EREN! GOOOOO!" Armin cried while the rest of his comrades cheered.
'FIGHT!' As Eren slammed the boulder into the wall successfully plugging up the hole.
It was finally done.
Riko fell back onto her butt as she cried tears of joy.
"Many people sacrificed themselves to pull this off.." She sobbed as she shot out her smoke bomb.
"Today, for the first time... humanity has the upper hand."
XXX
"A Yellow smoke bomb," briefed a female soldier with her spy scope. "The operation, had succeeded sir!"
"SEND REINFORCEMENTS AT ONCE! EVACUATE THE ELITE SQUAD!" Commander Pixis ordered.

"The remaining titans are coming this way! Let's climb up the wall now!" Riko said.
"We'll withdraw as soon as Eren recovers!" Replied Mikasa as she made her way to Eren's now fallen titan.
"You're burning up man!" Armin said as he pulled Eren out of the Titan's nape.
"Armin! How's Eren!?" Mikasa asked.
"He's positively baking with a fever! We need to climb the wall now!" He replied. "Heck! He's still partially merged with that thing! No matter how hard I pull, he won't come out!"
"Then we'll just have to cut him out!" Suggested Riko who now took out her blade.
"Wa-wait!" Mikasa said slightly alarmed.
Too late... Riko sliced off a portion of Titan flesh making Eren fall down all with Armin.
"Oof!" Armin landed with a thud alongside Eren. However, things came to a grim setting as two titans approached him and Eren planning to gobble them up. 'Where's the rest of the squad? Where is Naruto.. Gai... Kakashi.. Bee!? Where are they when we need them?!' Armin looked around frantically for them but they were nowhere in sight.
The first titan outstretched its hands forward...
However, that nothing ever came as a green blur and a silver flash zoomed by slashing both titan's nape killing them in an instant as said savior stood atop their fallen corpses.
Mikasa made her way down next to Eren.
"Mikasa!" Armin said.
"These are.."
Eren opened his eyes to see a man in a green cloak as it flapped in the wind. Etched on its back was a symbol fort he Scouting Legion.
'Wings of Freedom,' thought Eren half conscious.
The new arrival turned to greet his saved victims.
"Hey kiddos... Mind telling me what's going on?"
