A week after Death run-off election
"You four have yet again proven that you are the elite," said Naruto as he spoke to the elite four.
"Of course," said Sanageyama as he sat on the couch
"If anything, this makes things easier," said Naruto, "The Tri-city road trip is coming up since we have no new members to train we can begin a little early."
"Where's Lady Satsuki?" asked Nonon, "shouldn't she be part of the planning."
"She's coordinating the bus schedule and checking the weapons." replied Naruto, "she wanted me to go over the overall plan."
"We already know our positions, but the big question is where will you be?" said Sanageyama
"I'll be with Satsuki." said Naruto, "We'll be waiting in the back if anything goes wrong."
"You and Lady Satsuki won't be needed as we'll discipline the other schools," said Gamagori
"Hopefully that will be true," said Naruto, "Also remember Lady Satsuki, and I will be visiting Revoc HQ this afternoon."
"Won't this the first time you'll be meeting Lady Ragyo?" asked Inumuta
"Yes, hopefully, this meeting will go successfully," replied Naruto
Lower levels of Honnoji Academy, morning, Mankanshoku residence
Ryuko was currently sitting on the floor looking at the sleeping form of Senketsu, knowing that Senketsu could turn into a hideous monster and that scared her. It took her a day and a half to stand and not feel woozy. She now spends her days laying in her bed looking at Senketsu.
"Is it safe to wear you again?" asked Ryuko
"Please do!" yelled a voice from her window, startling her.
"Please put it back on!" said the same voice only from her door.
The voice belonged to Shinjiro Nagita, a former member of the Newspaper Club and a thorn in the Student Council's side. He wore the Honnoji academy uniform, with medium cobalt hair that covered his left eye. He was currently persuading Ryuko to put Senketsu and fight Satsuki. Unfortunately, he was failing as Ryuko was still moping. Ryuko was forcing Shinjiro out of the door, constantly telling him she will fight for him. As Shinjiro was running away, Ryuko returned her room and continued her moping.
Outside Naruto was standing on a light post observing the interaction between Ryuko and 'Shinjiro.'
'So that's your plan Nui,' thought Naruto as he vanished
Kiryuin helicopter, 12:00 pm
"So where did you disappear to this time?" asked Satsuki as Naruto appeared in the seat across from her
"Just observing Ryuko and managed to catch a glimpse of a rare spider," replied Naruto
"Was the spider pink?" asked Satsuki as she drank her tea
"I couldn't tell as it was camouflaged among the foliage," answered Naruto
"I see," said Satsuki, "On a different note, are you ready to meet the president of Revoc?"
"Yes, I am both mentally and physically ready," said Naruto, "but why did you suggest I bring sunglasses?"
"You'll see when we get there," said Satsuki
Revoc headquarters, 1300
Sitting on a dome base was a small building supported by several steel girders. This is where one of the largest distributors of clothes started and where the president resides. The president was a tall albino woman, the odd part was the fact that a rainbow-colored light seems to follow her and even managed to permeate her hair. It was because of that light that most of the employees have to wear sunglasses on a regular base. The chopper containing Satsuki and Naruto landed on the roof, the door opened, and the sight of multiple men in black suits greeted the two.
"Welcome back Lady Satsuki," said the Men in harmony
Satsuki ignored them as she and her second-command exited the chopper and began their journey to see her mother. The two walked in silence once they were in the building, but Naruto could hear someone talking in the distance.
"I take it that Ragyo is doing another 'motivation speech'" said Naruto as he makes quotation marks on the air
"Yes," answered Satsuki, "She schedule one at least once a month to remind her employees what the company's ideology is."
The two stopped once they reached a set of two metal doors with various colored lights peaking through it.
"Stay out here while I confront mother," said Satsuki as she turned to face Naruto
"If that is what you wish then I'll oblige," replied Naruto, "just make sure to get me when you're about to go to the main office."
'I wonder how Ryuko is doing?' thought Naruto as he waited.
Honnoji lower slums, 1800
Naruto continued to observe Ryuko as she isolated herself and moped. Naruto was beginning to get bored when things started to again. Shinjiro barged into the Mankanshoku residence proclaiming that he is going to he is going to fight his bullies, only to be pummeled be said bullies, to then be carried off into the distance.
"So, that's your plan," said Naruto, "play the victim so Ryuko would come out and save you, clever."
Naruto followed Ryuko as she donned Senketsu and raced to rescue Shinjiro from the Ryuko got to the location, she saw that Shinjiro had taken a pummeling, the various lumps and swollen face confirmed this. She managed to ambush the bullies and execute her finishing move on them,, only for the bullies to fall apart. She turned around expecting them to be naked but was surprise the now shattered bullies.
"What?!" shouted Ryoku, "They're not human."
"So you finally decided to get dressed." said a now-healed Shinjiro
"You set this whole thing up!" yelled Ryuko as she jumped back and faced Shinjiro
"I did! They were my puppets," said Shinjiro, displaying the strands of life-fibers on his hand, "and in a way so are you."
"Come again?!" said Ruuko as she tensed her body
"Fear from the runaway incident. Rejection of your Kamui." listed Shinjiro, "However, you conquered that fear in order to save the helpless. Your actions are so predictable that it is downright adorable."
A stray breeze picked up and revealed that Shirojiro was an eyepatch, it shape resembled the Kanji for sewing. The clothing he was wearing started to shred revealing that Shinjiro was actually Nui Harime.
"You are you!?" yelled Ryoko as demanded an answer
"My name is Nui Harime, and I am the one that killed your father," said Nui in a giggling tone, "and what I have can confirm it."
She reached into her dressed and revealed a purple scissor blade, the other half of Ryuko's sword. As she as Ryuko saw that her mind broke and the only thought she had was to kill the girl in front of her. Ryuko charged towards Nui aiming to finish the match quickly, but Nui proved to be quicker then Ryuko and just parried or dodge Ryuko's strikes. After two minutes of this Nui got bored and proceeded to attack Ryuko through a series of quick slices. The end result was Senketsu being cut into various small patches and leaving Ryuko in her underwear.
"You proved to be weaker then I had anticipated," said Nui as she walked towards Ryuko, raising her blade above her "I guess I should do you a half and send you to your father."
"Sorry, but I can let you do that," said Naruto as he descended from the sky, "Satsuki has plans for her."
"And who are you?" asked a suspicious Nui
"All you need to know is that I am the vice-president of the Student Council and I am Satsuki's assistant," said Naruto
"So, you're the mysterious student calling the shots around here," said Nui as she relaxed her guard, if only slightly
"You're not the only puppet master around," said Naruto as various threads leaped from his hand and gathered the patches of Senketsu on the floor, "I have no issues with you, but you should watch your step in the future."
"What an interesting boy," said Nui as she watched Naruto disappear
Ragyo's office, 1820
"Welcome back dear daughter," said Raygo as she 'greeted' her daughter
"Hello mother," replied Satsuki
As Ragyo and Satsuki proceed to talk Naruto decided to introduce himself to Ragyo's assistant. She was a woman of 5' 4" wearing a white suit. When Naruto got closer, he could see that she was African in origin with light purple hair in cornrows. She was writing on a clipboard and observing the room as a whole.
"Greetings, I'm Naruto Uzumaki," introduced Naruto
"Rei Hoomaru," replied Rei in a dull tone, "I take it you are Misstress Satsuki's Assistant."
"You are correct," said Naruto, "Anything you can tell me about your mistresses, such as pet peeves or things I should avoid?"
"Just avoid mentioning her back," said Rei, "everything else is fine."
"Thank you, but now I have another question," asked Naruto as he pointed towards Ragyo, "does she always greet her daughter that way?"
"Unfortunately yes," answered Rei as she pulled up a virtual screen
"So this is the way you called me," said Ragyo," you wish to discuss about Kamui Senketsu. La vie est drôle."
"Yes and I already filed the report regarding the incident." said Satsuki, "You said it would be left to my discretion."
"Of course, Matter such as this should be settled by the youth or in your case Kamui vs. Kamui," said Ragyo as she walked back to her desk. I think it's a fine thing."
"Why then did you sent the High Order Tailor to Honnoji Academy," said Satsuki
"Nui, I didn't send her," replied Ragyo, "Not even I can control an artist when they find inspiration."
As Naruto was listening he noticed Ragyo's tone of voice, she was lying about Nui appearance at Honnoji Academy.
"As long as she doesn't interfere with my plan, then she's fine, but if she proves to be a problem, then I will deal with her."
"That is acceptable," said Ragyo, "As long as you continue to act a child of COVERS, the world will remain your ally."
"I also came to tell you that the Tri-city Road Trip is going to start the day after tomorrow," said Satsuki
"I see, how many days will it take to complete?" asked Ragyo
"One day will be sufficient," replied Satsuki
"Magnificent," answered Ragyo
"Once the operation is complete Honnoji Academy will rule over every other academy in Japan," said Satsuki, "REVOC uniforms will be supplied to the students, dragging the naked apes from behind enemy lines."
"Perfect," said Ragyo
The meeting between the two Kiryuin woman had concluded, and Satsuki was on her way to the helicopter with Naruto following her.
"Satsuki, your mother, is starting to suspect something," said Naruto, " so we should be more careful."
"I agree," said Satsuki as she boards the helicopter
Naruto looked back at Ragyo's office at began to think to himself;
' She is an interesting woman for sure, but that ego of hers will be her downfall.'
