Play Music: Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

It had been a week since Naruto had joined Cait Shelter, and now he stood in the middle of the forest before even the sun had risen into the sky for early morning training.

Naruto's eyes turned sharp as he looked at the forest around him with sharp eyes, and he got into a battle ready position. Naruto heard a small rustling noise behind him, before he jumped up into the air and moved so that he was parallel with the ground. Moving under him was a green furred creature with a purple face with purple elongated ears and a LONG chin. It had a purple chest, and pure white eyes. It's upper body was super muscles, with long arms that touched the ground while it's legs were small in comparison.

This was a Forest Vulcan, and it was attacking naruto at the moment.

Naruto finished flipping before landing on his feet as he looked at the Vulcan turning around with an annoyed expression on it's face. Naruto moved his hands in the 'bring it on' motion, and the Vulcan charged Naruto and tried to punch him. Twisting his body to the left, he punched the Vulcan in the gut hard enough so that his fist was able to knock the large creature off it's feet and send it into a tree hard enough to break through it. The creature coughed up blood, before it collapsed forward and landed on it's face. Naruto walked forward to see if it was down for the count.

"Haha!"

Naruto jumped back when the Vulcan instantly got up and tried to punch Naruto in the face. The creature clawed at him, but he twisted so that his hands were on the ground. From this position Naruto kicked the creature in the arm and with a sickening wet pop he dislocated the monster's arm.

"Stupid human! That hurt!" The Vulcan shouted, before the next thing it saw was Naruto's bare foot before Naruto kicked the monster hard enough it the face that he knocked out the entire top row of the creature's teeth and broke it's nose. A foot shaped darker purple bruise started to form instantly on the creature's face. Blood splurted out of the creatures nse and mouth, and it's face sunk in a little. Naruto placed his hand on the creaturs shoulder, before he twisted his body again and slammed the heel of his foot down onto the creature's forehead. With a final crack the creature's skull caved in, and blood gushed out of the open wound on the now dead Vulcan's head.

'That. Was. AWESOME!' Naruto thought with a fist pump as he looked down at the creature laying down on the forest floor. He had come to the forest for some early morning training, but he hadn't expected to be able to fight some freaky creature this ugly. naruot heard more rustling behind him, and he saw a few more of the creatures glaring at him. The one he had just killed had been about seven feet tall... these five were easily ten feet tall with the one in the middle being twelve feet tall.

Naruto jumped at the nearby tree, and the second his feet touched the bark he bent his knees and jumped off the tree with enough force to shatter the tree bark and dent the tree. He sped at the closest Vulcan, and he turned his body just before he touched the creature. Naruto landed on the chest of the creature, and when his feet touched the creature he jumped again and knocked the creature into the Vulcan behind him. The two Vulcan's crashed into the ground, and Naruto kicked another Vulcan in the face with the added force of his jumps behind him. There was a loud crack, before another crack followed it when Naruto spun around and punched the creature in the side of the head. The creature was dead before it hit the ground, while Naruto did a flip behind landing on his feet.

He hopped backwards just as a fist punched the ground where he was, and he hopped up onto the arm of the creature before he ran up the arm. He hopped onto the other arm when the monster tried to slap him off. Jumping off he grabbed each side of the monster's headm before he kneed the monster in the eye. With a splurt of blood his knee caved in the monster's skull and killed it.

"Three down, three to go." Naruto said as he looked at the leader, and the two Vulcans that had just got back up. One of which had two foot shaped bruises on it's chest. Naruto blinked before he was sucker punched across the face by a sixth vulcan he hadn't noticed earlier, and he grunted lightly at th force behind the punch. Holding his ground he tensed his knees before he jumped and did a front flip hard enpugh so that when his feet hit the creature's chest their were multiple loud popping sounds as he broke the creatures rips and collapsed it's chest.

The three Vulcan's looked at each other, before the all ran at him at the same time. Naruto grinned before his eyes became cold and he took a breath, and then he unleashed a powerful Battle Cry that made the Vulcans stop dead in their tracks when the sound of his voice and the force of both his killing intent and his dominant aura overpowered their will. The leaves of the trees around the Vulcans were started to fall off, and dust picked up off the ground and messed up the Vulcan's fur. The creatures looked at Naruto with wide eyes, before they turned tail and ran. Fuck avenging their fallen brethren, they were in the presence of a dangerous predator!

Naruto smirked as they ran away from his Battle Cry. When his body had rebuilt itself his vocal cords had changed so that he would be able to unleash killer intent filled Battle Cries that would frighten weak willed opponents, stun more powerful opponents, it would also stun things with sensative ears, and against extremely weak opponents he could give them heart attacks. It could blow light opponents away, but it wasn't truly an attack since it caused no real damage. It was like he asserted him dominance over others with his cry.

He learned late last night that if he closed his eyes, he could use a form of Echolocation with his Battle Cry's more advanced form. That form of Battle Cry wasn't made for battle, since only his highly sensative ears could pick up the noise he used for it. Naruto suddenly tensed his legs and burst into action. The ground under his feet turned into small craters as dust shot up from the ground when he ran forward, and then he punched a thick tree hard enough shatter through the bark and put a messy dent into the tree.

"... OW!" Natuto shouted as he held his hand in pain. He may have enhanced strength, but his body hadn't gotten used to having it yet. That and the tree was thick enough so that his strength had worked against him this time. There was a four foot deep crater in the tree, and he still hadn't gotten halfway through it. He had easier times breaking through rock. With rock you just had to hit it in the right place and you could crack it all the way through, but the tree was different. Rock may be harder, but a tree as thick as a boulder was a lot harder to break than a boulder.

Great, now he would have to explain the bruise on his face and the broken hand to Wendy as when he got back to the guild. It would seem that he didn't heal as fast as he used to, but he still healed at a good pace. He was also REALLY durable, so he could take a hit and keep coming. Cracking his neck to get rid of the kink that the Vulcan had caused earlier, he set off towards the guild while walking instead of flying. He didn't want to become lazy after all, so walking when he could was a good thing in his book.

He walked through the really tiny village with a smile on his face as he passed by the strange people of the place. He couldn't place his finger on it, but he just got this strange feeling from them all. Even Roubaul gave off the feeling, so maybe it was just the people that lived here. He noticed that the only ones to use any magic were him, Wendy, and Roubaul. The others seemed to foucs on making clothes for a living, or were living off the land so to speak. Naruto walked into the guild, and he sweat dropped when he saw most of the members were all sitting around a table with their money in their hands.

Roubaul was heavily drinking, while the other members were all arm wrestling... something Naruto wasn't allowed to compete in after they learned that he had enhanced strength without adding magic to his muscles. He was just naturally super strong, and that was an unfair adventage in arm wrestling. Naruto chuckled awkwardly, before he walked over to the bar and got a box of juice from the 'kids' sections. Damn underage drinking laws.

"What happened to your face!?"

Naruto turned his head to see Wendy rushing to him, and she sat next to him immediantly as she placed two glowing green hands on his swollen cheek. He hissed in pain slightly when she touched it, but he let the soothing feeling of getting healed sink in as the swelling went down.

"I was training in the forest, and got attacked by some monkey things. I kicked their asses, so no worries." Naruto said with a grin when the swelling completely disappeared, before he twitched when she grabbed his hand and started to heal that next.

"Please be more careful Naruto. I don't want you to get hurt." Wendy said, before she saw him grinning at her with his goofy smile.

"Hey, no pain no gain. I can only train like this because I can count on you to heal me right up! Think on the bright side! The more you have to heal me, the better you get at healing. Soon you will be able to heal stuff like this so quickly it will be like I was never injured." Naruto bragged about her ability, and she blushed at the compliment. She wasn't really used to such things, and being the center of attention was against her shy nature. She was the kind of persont hat would rather fade into the background with a friend or two.

"You still need to take care of your body." Wendy said as she faced the other direction and sipped at her juice, before Naruto shrugged and rested his forehead against the counter. It was still early in the mnorning, so maybe they could get a mission and spend the rest of the day doing that.

"Hey brat! You and me! Right here and now!" Jason shouted from across the guild, and Naruto hopped off of the stool he was on and grinned and Jason. This was starting to become a daily ritual between the two of them, and sometimes Nirada as well. They would beat the ever loving crap out of each other, before Naruto punched his in the jaw and knocked him out cold when he was starting to get bored. It was both good exersize, and a small form of endurance training from constantly getting punched and punching.

"I am joining in two." The fat male Nirada said as he joined on the punching fest, before the two men arm wrestling grinned and stood up and ran towards the brawl going on. Roubaul stood up and took Naruto's seat next to Wendy while she watched the brawl go on with a smile. Nrmally she would be against something like this, but everyone looked like they were grinning. Before Naruto had gotten here, the most exciting thing for her was making and trying on new clothes. She saw Naruto get thrown out of the brawl for a second, before he got right back up and rushed back into it. Seconds later both Jason and Nirada went flying out of the pit, while Naruto was punched by the two muscle men. He then punched them back, only to get a chair to the head thanks to Jason.

"Hahaha! You just got-" Jason started he got hit with a chair to the face by Naruto, and was sent flying into one of the two shirtless muscle men... that shall be henceforth known as George and Charles.

"What were you saying dog-shit?" Naruto asked as he put a hand to his ear mockingly before he jumped out of the way and tripped Nirada as the fat man fell to the floor on top of Jason and George. Naruto laughed it up as four arms were waving around under the large man. "Hey Jason! How does it feel to get smothered by boob... MAN BOOBS THAT IS!" Naruto shouted with his laughter ringing though the guild.

"Screw you, I just have a deep love for food." Nirada said with an annoyed tone. Naruto scoffed lightly, before he looked at Nirada crushing two men under him.

"Deep love for food my left butt cheek." Naruto said as he kicked Nirada in the side and rolled him off of the two guys under him. They both sent him thankful looks while filling their lungs with air, and he helped Jason up... only to slug him in the face two second later and knock him out. With a grin Naruto walked back to Wendy with the air of victory about him, and when he sat down on her other side she started to heal the bruises he had gotten from the brawl.

"Do you want to go on a mission today?" Wendy asked with a slight pant to her breath as she finished healing him... again. Naruto tapped a finger to head, before he shrugged.

"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Naruto asked, and Wendy put a piece of paper in front of them. Naruto couldn't read it, but she didn't need to know that. So he pretended to read it, before he decided he would say yes anyway. "Let do it!" Naruto said with a grin, and Wendy brightened up at him and reread the mission herself.

Mission Rank - C
Mission Location - Hargeon Town, Dock 5
Client - Captian Leonardo Fernando
Mission Description - Help with the rebuilding of Dock 5
Reward - 50,000 Jewels

"It will be nice to go back to Hargein Town so soon." Wendy said, and Naruto sweat dropped when he realized that they were in for another flight to that town. He shrugged, before he finished his juice and stood up.

"Yelp, lets head out then." Naruto said while stretching his arms to get the blood flowing. Wendy stood up and got Roubaul to make the mission official, before she took the paper and put it back in her shoulder bag. Standing up she ran after Naruto where he was waiting for her, and Roubaul chuckeld to himself when he saw Naruto grow wings outside of the guild doors and fly off with Wendy on his back.

He could tell they were going to go far.

Chapter End.

Oh yeah ANOTHER chapter in such a short time. Naruto's battle cry isn't an attack, it is him focusing his killing intent behind a loud yell. The yell itself is powerful enough to blow light things around, and knock away small things that are thrown at him. It can also be used to stun and frighten an enemy enough to give him a few second advantage in a fight, but it doens't work against everyone. The stronger your will power, the less it works against you.
