Day Later
Naruto and Natasha stood across from each other, their right arms extended with their wrists touching, before Natasha slapped Naruto's hand away and tried a jab but Naruto slapped it away,
Raising his elbow, Naruto parried the next blow,and with the same arm used his forearm to block the left backhand Natasha tried, before he raised his left arm to block the left elbow heading for his face before Naruto grabbed the arm and twirled it out the way,
Backpedaling, Naruto continued to slap away Natasha's left, and right jabs, before she overreached a left jab, Naruto leaned back slightly and grabbed her arm bringing her close before he placed his elbow at her neck, but she slapped it away and tried to elbow him in the chin, but he moved to the side
Naruto began to launch jabs, left and right as Natasha raised her arm to block with her forearms before she swung forward but Naruto leaned back while slapping her arm away and went for a left hook aimed at the red heads torso but she slapped his arm down, and quickly slapped his right arm up as it almost hit her jaw,
The red head tried to punch Naruto in his own jaw when he was open, but he leaned aside and lunged forward with an elbow aimed for her chin, Natasha blocked it but Naruto turned around with his other elbow aimed at her, which was blocked again, before Natasha could aim for the back of Naruto's head he ducked and tried to elbow her in the gut, but Natasha slapped his tricep,
When Naruto continued to turn with his elbows Natasha leaned back and forced him to continue turn as she continued to backpedal, before she slammed her forearm into his own cause the ground and walls to crack, but Naruto performed another turn with an elbow for her torso, causing Natasha grunt as the blow landed, but she rebound quickly and slapped away his other elbow before she kneed him in the ribs and extended her leg for a kick to his face but he blocked and skidded back a bit
Smirking the two were about to continue but the door to the bedroom opened and an African American woman walked out dressed in a form fitting dress that hugged her form, this was his latest conquest Nandi Taylor, a beat cop in Hell's Kitchen.
"Whatre you guys doing?" Nandi asked the two who she slept with last night
"Sparing. Want to join?" Natasha asked
"I would but I'm already running late." Nandi said walking up to Naruto, "Maybe you can teach me something next time?"
"Next time." Naruto smiled before Nandi placed a hand on his chest and kissed him before she began to leave before Naruto slapped her fat ass
"Ooh,"
"Bye Nandi." Naruto said as Nandi waved and left out the door
"I looked into her, and,"
"She's not cut out to be a cop. I know." Naruto said
"How?" Natasha asked
"Last night, the conversation kept returning to my money." Naruto said
"Yet you still slept with her." Natasha replied
"You surprise."
"Of course not, you tried to sleep with me while I was trying to kill you the first night we met." Natasha said
"Good times." Naruto smiled before he looked to Natasha, "Your Wang Chun has improved."
"Of course it has." Natasha said smugly, "Ive been training every style I could find, and with Shadow Clones I will have a mastery of every martial arts style this world has to offer, I'm even getting better at Goken, Gentle Fist, and Frog Kata."
"Don't get cocky." Naruto said tossing a towel at Natasha who caught it, before Naruto raised a hand as 2 shurikens burst through the door and he caught them, as Natasha reached beneath a couchseat and pulled out her Glock 19, before a man entered glaring at Naruto
"Davos." Naruto said raising an eyebrow, "Welcome to New York."
"You need to come with me, we're going home."
"I am home." Naruto said motioning to Natasha to put the gun down
"The way to K'un-Lun is open, and your not there to protect it."
"I'm not leaving." Naruto said
"You had no problem leaving us. The people of K'un-Lun deserve to know why you would abandon us."
"Guess the elders kept it under wraps." Naruto said sitting down, "I left because I never had any intention of wasting my life away standing at some gate to protect some people who would mock me on a regular basis. The outsider, returned to the Outside world."
Davos frowned as the insult he used to address Naruto was thrown in his face, "Go home, gaijin. There's nothing here for you." Naruto said
Elsewhere
Colleen was sitting in her dojo, her eyes were red from crying, since Naruto had found out about her she had been taking her frustrations out on her equipment, ice cream, and alcohol "Colleen?"
Looking up Colleen looked at her sensei Bakuto, "I wish things could have been different. I wanted Naruto to overcome his prejudices. I wanted him to join us. But it seems that is impossible."
"You wanted me to lie to him. To spy on him. He doesn't trust easy, and I was lucky to earn that, but when he found out that I was deceiving him, that I'd been keeping the truth from him, what did you think was gonna,"
"Respect your sensei!" Bakuto yelled interrupting Colleen, who glared at him, "Kevin Michener was orphaned during 911. Becca Yoo's family kicked her out of the house when she was 15. They had nowhere to go. No one to care for them. This corrupt society was willing to let them rot on the streets. They were lost, just like you once were. But you found them. Trained them. You brought them into the Hand. Now Kevin's interning in the mayor's office and Becca's in medical school. We gave them a purpose. A family."
"I can save Naruto, too. He doesn't understand the good we're doing. I can make him see."
"The time for understanding is over. He sees you as one of us and that is all he will ever see. The Iron Fist must be controlled. The Hand needs him." Bakuto stated looking at Colleen, "He's already made an enemy of Gao, we need to get him before she does. When you see him, you will tell me, do you understand?"
Colleen nodded before Bakuto left
Later, Naruto's Loft
Natasha was drinking coffee as she looked out the window at Davos who was meditating on the rooftop across the street, "He's going to stay out there isn't he?" she asked
"Yup. Davos was always an arrogant shit, because his father was an elder. We trained together and when I was chosen to take the trail for the fist, he went off. Actually said I as an outsider had no chance ofnsurvivng, and that he'd piss on my grave, when I was killed and he succeeded in becoming the Iron Fist."
"Woah." Natasha said
"Yeah." Naruto nodded before the door opened and Claire walked in,
"Naruto!" Claire called as Naruto walked out the kitchen followed by Natasha, "Whose she?"
"This is Natasha, a good friend of mine." Naruto said, "Whats the matter?"
"Okay, so Colleen has been training me to defend myself but she's MIA, she ain't answer her phone, and no one is at the dojo. I think she may be in trouble."
"...Colleen is apart of The Hand." Naruto said
"Those evil Ninjas you told me about?" Claire asked getting a nod from Naruto, "No way, Colleen she helped Rasputin."
"There are factions in the Hand, the old lady Gao and Colleen's boss Bakuto, have different agendas." Naruto said
"This doesn't make sense. Colleen is a teacher. She helps kids get off the streets." Claire replied sitting down
"Yeah, by sending them straight to the Hand. She probably was trying to do the same thing to me."
"There's got to be more going on here."
"I told her to really take a look at her faction before it's to late." Naruto said
"What do you mean?" Claire asked
"I've never lied to you Claire. You know who I was before I returned to New York. If Colleen chooses to remain with the Hand, she will be my enemy. I will react accordingly."
Claire saw how serious Naruto was about this, and slowly nodded, suddenly a beep was heard
Naruto flashed to his laptop, "What is it?" Natasha asked walking over
"An alert on all the accounts Gao had in Rand. Someone is trying to move the money." Naruto said
"Well what're you going to do?"
"Close them and then spread the wealth." Naruto smirked typing quickly and the two women watched as every highlighted account began to close one after the other before the hundreds of millions in dollars were drained and added to Naruto's personal bank account,, but suddenly it stopped
"What happened, why'd you stop?" Claire asked
"Someone has already started a transfer with these accounts. Claire, time to go. The Hand will be here when they find out about this, and I can't have you in the crossfire.' Naruto said
"I got it. Just be careful." Claire replied getting a nod from Naruto before she left
Claire walked out of the complex, and paused as she saw Colleen standing there. The two just stood there watching each other, "Naruto told you."
"So it's true? You're in the Hand." Claire said getting a nod
"I need to talk to him." Colleen stated
"I don't think that's a good idea, he just declared war in there." Claire said
"Claire, please."
"The Hand kidnapped Radovan, and his daughter. Radovan was discovered dead a few days ago. The Hand has only been killing people."
"And that is why I couldn't tell you. Either of you."
"You let me think that I was actually going to be able to get strong enough to help Naruto. Be able to do something to stop them." Claire frowned
"We were. There are different groups within the Hand, okay? I'm part of one that is trying to help people."
"Then did you think about trying a different name for the group? Like the Ear? Or the Arm?" Claire asked
"My sensei is empowering those kids."
"To do what?" Claire asked
"To become the kind of people who help make the world a better place. He's getting them jobs in hospitals and businesses."
"Naruto said that the Hand is everywhere. It makes it harder for their enemies to hide, since it gives them eyes and ears everywhere."
"I didn't want to hurt you." Colleen admitted
"You lied, Colleen. To the both of us. What did you think was gonna happen?" Claire asked
"I know." Colleen said
"Sensei." a voice called causing the two to look up and see three men and a woman standing a bit away from them, at an black Sedan
Claire scoffed, "Later Colleen." she said walking off
"Brian, Mary." Colleen said looking at the African American man and latina woman
"You need to come with us." Brian said
"Bakuto wants to talk to you." Mary stated
"Tell him to meet me at my dojo." Colleen said trying to leave but the other two men got in front of her
"That's not gonna happen." Brian said
Colleen looked around at the four who surrounded her, "Sensei. Please." Mary called
Colleen put her hands up and was grabbed before she was put into the SUV that sped off
Claire who had been watching came from the corner and ran up to the elevator, and burst into Naruto's loft, to find him wrapping take around his fist
"Colleen stopped by to talk to you an four Hand members just forced her to go with them, she may be in trouble." Claire said causing Naruto to frown before he slapped a hand on the ground and a seal lit up,
"Stay here." Naruto said before he opened the window and closed it before he began to jump from roof top to rooftop with Davos seeing this and following
Naruto could've just used his super speed but he wanted to get to the compound, Colleen couldn't be in to much trouble,
Natasha suddenly landed beside Naruto as he was jumping, "You left me."
"My bad. I'll make it up to you when this is over with." Naruto said as the two continued to jump from rooftop to rooftop with Natasha leading the way with her Byakugan
Later, Bakuto Compound
Colleen was strapped to a chair by Brian and Mary, freaking out, "Seriously? Where's Bakuto? Are we still in the compound? Is this detention? Huh? Why won't you answer me?" she asked
"Because I've ordered them not to." Bakuto said walking forward, "And you taught your students how to respect the chain of command. Something you seem to have forgotten."
"Bakuto, what the hell is this?" Colleen asked
"You were supposed to tell me when you found the Iron Fist. All this time you knew where he lived and neglected to share this information...I blame myself for this."0.
"Bakuto, I believe in the Hand!" Colleen said
"But I don't know if I believe in you. Not anymore. You've let yourself be infected with doubt about our cause. And there's no cure for that." Bakuto said as Colleen looked at him horrified, before she looked down at her lap
"What are you gonna do?" Colleen asked and when she didn't hear an answer she looked up to see a man whispering in her sensei's ear, "Bakuto?"
"After all that we've been through, at least we can take some comfort knowing that in your final moments you'll still be giving to the Hand." Bakuto said before he walked away
"Wait. What do you mean, "giving to the Hand"? Bakuto!" Colleen yelled looking back as Brian pushed the chair to a room and her eyes widened when she saw blood bags and hospital equipment everywhere
"After everything you have taught us how could you betray the Hand?" Mary asked as Brian began to get ready for ths procedure, while Colleen remained silent, "Nothing? You're not gonna give me one of your little sanctimonious speeches about the code, teamwork and all that? What was it you used to say, sensei? A single arrow is easily broken. Because right now, you look pretty broken to me."
Colleen headbutted Mary when she got to close causing Mary to turn around but she paused as Naruto and Natasha were there, "Damn, she broke your nose."
Brian sprung forward but Colleen had got out the chair with the knife she grabbed from Mary's holster slammed the but of it into his temple, knocking him unconscious
Mary threw a hook at Natasha who stepped forward while ducking before she turned to Mary as the young woman tried to elbow her, but Natasha punched her in the ribs, and grabbed her arm before she swung Mary toward her and grabbed her throat before choke slamming the girl through a table
Naruto walked over to Colleen but she held the knife up at him, "You know that is useless. We are not here to hurt you." Naruto said
"Why not? You're the destroyer of the Hand! I'm the Hand! So light up your damn fist and destroy me!" Colleen shouted pushing Naruto who remained in his spot before he tilted his head as she tossed the knife at him
"Colleen." Naruto said as Colleen began to bang her fist against his chest before she began to sniffle
"It's not what I thought it was." Colleen sobbed
Airport
Ward with his suitcase was ready to leave town for good, he had left his resignation on Naruto's desk, and was ready for a new life, as he was about to leave his car he was grabbed and shoved into a car
Ward sat up and saw Bakuto next to him, with anither large man blocking his exit, "Hello Ward." Bakuto said as he took Ward's wrist and stabbed a syringe into his vein
"What are you doing?" Ward asked trying to struggle but the man who forced him inside held him down
"Oh, relax. I'm here to help." Bakuto said injecting Ward, "There you go. You've been poisoned by Madame Gao's synthetic heroin."
"You know her? Who are you?" Ward asked as he stopped struggling
"My name is Bakuto. Think of this drug as a shortcut past your withdrawal symptoms."
"Oh, shit. Your with the Hand." Ward groaned
"Correct, though, I'm no friend of Gao's." Bakuto said
"What do you want?" Ward asked
"I want to be your friend, I can free you from your father." Bakuto said
"I already am." Ward replied
"No, he's come back from the dead, and reunited with Joy." Bakuto said causing Ward to look at him in shock
"What?" Ward asked
"I can make sure he never comes back. From the dead, I mean. It's a gift that we've given to a very chosen few. We can see that we made a mistake in giving it to Harold."
"This has a cost, right?" Ward asked
"We are living in a new age where governments aren't the true controllers of man's destinies. It's corporations like Rand Enterprises that govern the world."
"So you wanna run Rand like Gao." Ward scoffed
"No. No, not like Gao. She's all stick and no carrot. I want you in charge, because Harold can't be trusted. Our relationship would be more quid pro quo. Take this drug I'm giving you now, for instance. There are countless poor souls that are addicted to Gao's drugs, going through your same withdrawal."
"And you're saying you would share this with Rand?"
"All of this and freedom from your father forever. It sounds good, no?" Bakuto asked
"Yeah. Good. One problem, I'm not in charge of Rand, Nathan is."
"Well then I do have an immediate favor to ask of you."
"And that is?"
"Help me capture Nathan, and you and your sister will be safe." Bakuto said
Meanwhile
Naruto, and Natasha walked with Colleen down the street, "Bakuto...My sensei wanted to kill me." Colleen said as Naruto sighed
"Don't believe anything she says, Naruto." Davos said walking up, "She's Hand."
"I...I was. I'm not anymore."
"What sort of a relationship do you have with her?" Davos asked
"Thats none of your buisness, Davos. Go home." Naruto said
"He's from K'un-Lun?" Colleen asked
"Yes, and he's leaving." Naruto said
"I will return with you by my side." Davis said
"Well then, I guess your never going back." Naruto replied, Davos looked at Naruto and glanced at Colleen
"You can't trust her, they could've faked her defection to get her on the inside with us. It's what they do." Davos said as Natasha raised an eyebrow
"I can trust her because I can sense her dispair. She was just betrayed by someone who meant a lot to her, and now she's running from them. She's on my side." Naruto said
"Fine. Then she can help us blow up the whole compound with Bakuto and his minions inside."
"What is this us?" Natasha asked causing Davos to look at her before Colleen walked over to him
"You can't do that. Students from my dojo are in there. They're not bad. They just They don't know what's really going on."
"So those were your students I broke to pieces, back there?" Davos smirked before a punch to the jaw from Colleen sent him stumbling before he tried to rush her but Naruto appeared between them
"Enough!" Naruto growled
"You see? She's still with them! The Iron Fist destroys the Hand no matter what. If you can't do it, I will. I will!" Davos yelled pushing Naruto and made to leave but his arm was grabbed and he was forced to turn around
Naruto with a finger in Davos face, said, "Your in my city now. I want you to understand this. Under absolutely no circumstances, do we kill children. Hand or not."
"When did you become such a milkmaid, Naruto? You know, this place has confused you." Davis said
"You are more than welcome to leave, because no one wants you here."
"I said,"
"Yeah, you'll only leave with me, yadda yadda. But here is the thing, if your going to be following me around like some lost puppy then you will do things my way. Is that clear?"
Davos looked at Naruto, Natasha, and then to Colleen, before he nodded
Elesewhere
Joy stood beside her father, looking over the imfirmatuin she found while snooping through the financials at Rand. Her father had reached out and explained everything to her, and she was committed to getting him free from the Hand,
"You know, last week, if you would have told me that I'd be here, working with my daughter, I wouldn't have believed it." Harold said causing Joy to scoff
"Reunion would be a hell of a lot better if we weren't taking down drug dealers."
"Oh, well, we take our blessings where we can find 'em." Harold said causing Joy to look at him
"You used to say that to me when I'd sit with you during your chemo treatments." Joy replied causing Harold to look at her as she went to sit down
"Yeah, I remember, you'd sit and talk to me about school and your latest drama with your friends, and Oh, you sang that one song over and over."
"Crazy in Love?" Joy asked smiling as Harold sat beside her
"Yeah...Hey I know it wasn't easy being there by my side during those treatments." Harold said
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I mean, those moments - I felt like I had you all to myself." Joy replied as Harold gave a soft chuckle
"Well, it meant a lot."
"Well, here we are with a second chance. Promise me when this is all over, we can make up for lost time." Joy said getting a nod from Harold, "You, me, Nate, Ward. Like a... Like a family vacation."
"Yeah. Hey, I've always wanted to go to Australia." Harold said
"Deal. Oh we should probably tell Nate that you're alive. He will be so happy." Joy said before the lights went out suddenly causing the two to jump to their feet, when the lights came back on, Bakuto, Ward and 4 members of the Hand all stood in the loft before the shocked duo
"Ward." Joy said before Harold grabbed her arm
"Joy, you need to come with me, and get away from him." Ward said holding his hand to his sister
"What?" Joy asked surprised
"You've no idea what you're up against here." Ward said glancing at Harold who was looking at Bakuto
"No, I know exactly what I'm up against. I've laid out everything the Hand's doing." Joy replied causing Bakuto to glance at her
"I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about Dad. He's always been a bastard to me. Ever since he came back from the dead, it's like a It's like a piece of his soul got left in the grave. He will use you, hurt you, and throw you aside without a second thought."
"You're not making any sense." Joy said
"I understand. I...Let's just go so we can talk, okay?" Ward said
"I haven't had a dad for 13 years, Ward, and by some miracle, he's he's here. I want to stay here with him." Joy said
"Well that us her answer." Bakuto said
"Who are you?'
"I am Bakuto of The Hand. Nathan Rand has forced Gai to flee from New Yirk for the time being and I have acquired all her assets. Earlier today most of the accounts were drained and closed.
"Your backstabbing brother has turned us over to the Hand." Harold said causing Joy to look at Ward in horror
"I promise you this is for the best. Harold is a monster." Ward told his sister
"No, you're the monster." Joy retorted backing away from Ward
"Enough. All of you, please, to the couch. Take a seat and calm down." Bakuto instructed before Joy and Harold sat on the couch, "Ward would you please stop the transfer of my money?"
"Let Joy and I leave, please. None of this was part of the deal." Ward said
"Do it." Bakuto demanded, and after a moment Ward walked off, "Did you really think taking my money would work?"
"Oh, what's this deal?" Harold asked
"Hmm. You must really be quite the bitter pill, Harold, because your son is giving me access to Rand in exchange for killing you." Bakuto said causing Joy and Harold to look over at Ward who was on the computer, "That, and helping me capture Nathan Rand."
Joy gasped, as Ward walked in, "Someone else took the money. It's gone."
"Nathan." Bakuto sighed
"I tried, can Joy and I leave now?" Ward asked
"No. I still have use for you. Come, sit over here." Bakuto said causing Ward to frown as he sat in a chair crossing his arms over his chest
"You weren't really gonna have Dad killed, right?" Joy asked only for Ward to remain silent
"You poor people are such a mess. I know a good family therapist that could help, should any of you survive the night." Bakuto said
"Wait, what?" Ward asked
Bakuto nodded to his men, and one flipped over the table as another grabbed Harold and the two forced him onto his knees beside Bakuto
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Joy shouted trying to stop them but about her man pushed her back onto the couch
"I'm gonna come back for you, Bakuto. And I'm gonna show you no mercy." Harold smirked
"You're not coming back. Once we remove your head from your body, there will be no returning." Bakuto said causing Harold to frown
Joy git up and kicked the man in front if her in the balls before she ran and tried to hit Bakuto but another guard grabbed her, "You're not killing my father!"
.
"You're testing the limits of my patience." Bakuto said as the man sat her down
"Stay still, Joy. Don't move. Everything'll be okay." Harold said before Ward got up and walked over to Bakuto
"Don't do this in front of Joy. I will get you anything you want. Name it." Ward pleaded
"Your phone." Bakuto said
"What?" Ward asked raising an eyebrow
"Your phone." Bakuto repeated himself
"Why?" Ward asked handing over his phone,
"Well, obviously, I'd like to make a call." Bakuto smiled
Naruto's Loft
Naruto closed his laptop as he stole The Hand's money, "You were very brave out there." Natasha said to Colleen as Naruto looked back at the two women as Colleen sipped her glass of Scotch
"I was very stupid out there. Everything Bakuto said to me was a lie. And I believed him." Colleen frowned
"Hey. That's because he is a piece of garbage, and you're human." Claire said as Colleen remained silent and was about to pour herself another glass but Naruto grabbed the bottle
"I have a place I can put you. You're not safe here. You've been through enough as it is." Naruto said
"No, I'm not hiding. I want Bakuto dead, too." Colleen said before Naruto's phone rung and he saw he had a call,
Accepting the call, Naruto spoke, "Ward?" he asked
"Hello, Nathan."
"Bakuto?" Naruto asked causing everyonento look at him
"I'm sorry it's come to this, but you've left me with few options. I have the Meachums, and depending on you, they may live the rest of the night."
Naruto flinched suddenly as a gunshot rung out, "No!" he heard in the background
"I just shot Joy, It's a clean in and out. Get her to the hospital within 30 minutes or so, and she'll be okay. But if you're not here within half an hour you'll lose another family."
Naruto sped away, "Naruto!" Natasha yelled rushing after him,
"Stay here Claire!" Colleen said rushing after Natasha but pausing long enough to grab the black nodaichi on the wall,
With Bakuto
Bakuto watched as Ward applied pressure on Joy's wound, "This wasn't part of the deal."
"Relax, Ward. Once the Iron Fist gets here, you and your sister will be free to go, and I'll decapitate your father for you." Bakuto said befire everyone jumped when Naruto sped into the room and was at Joy's side
Everyone looked at him in shock, "Joy, I'm here." Naruto said as he slapped Ward's hands away from the wound and lifted her shirt before he placed his hands on the wound, before a green aura surrounded his palm
Everyone watched before he took his plan away from the wound and everyone saw that it was gone, without any evidence it was ever there, "Incredible." Harold said causing Naruto to look at him
"Harold?" Naruto asked standing up
"Hey, Nate. I would hug you but I'm being held down." Harold said
"Word on the street is you were a member of the Hand."
"No, they kept me prisoner after they saved me from cancer." Harold said
"Hm, I have a question that I want the answer to," Naruto said as his Sharingan flashed on and off to fast to be seen, "Did you have something to do with the plane accident?"
"Na-" Joy began but Naruto held a hand up
"Yes." Harold said causing his children to look at him in surprise, "I wanted to make a deal with Gao, your pussy of a father wasn't going to allow it, so I went to Gao got her poison and used it to poison the pilots."
Naruto glared at Harold before he looked to Bakuto, "Been a while, Bakuto."
"Yes, it has." Bakuto smirked
"Well I'm here. Now what, you want revenge?" Naruto asked
"As satisfying it would be to cut off your head. A member of the Hand is eager to meet and work with you."
"Not interested." Naruto said
"Then the streets of New York will run red with the blood of the innocent." Bakuto threatened,
Naruto nodded as he looked around before the door to the loft burst off the hinges causing everyone to jump,
Natasha was in the doorway with her palm extended before Davos, and Colleen ran inside, "Ward get Joy out of here, now!" Naruto yelled and immediately Ward grabbed Joy and pulled her away as the fighting began
Naruto ducked under a slash from Bakuto and came back up to punch him in the jaw sending him flying to a wall,
Natasha entered and 3 sword members of the hand rushed her, Hand Ninja1 came with a wide slash but the red head leaned back and kicked him in the shoulder sending the man into the wall where his sword stabbed into,
Hand Ninja 2 and 3 both tried to cut Natasha down but she raised her arms and stooped their attacked with her forearm, before thy tried again but Natasha ducked between them and dodged to her left as Hand Ninja2 tried to cut her from shoulder to hip, before she clapped her hands catching Hand Ninja3 attack and moved the sword in the path of Hand Ninja2 attack before she kicked Hand Ninja2 in the knee, before using the same leg to kick Hand Ninja3 in the ribs sending him into a table , before she used her other leg to kick Hand Ninja3 in the face, and quickly she placed a hand on Hand Ninja3 as she flipped over him and pulled him up to take the sword slash from Hand Ninja2, before she pushed the corpse into Hand Ninja2 and kicked up the sword of Hand Ninja3 and kicked it again sending it through the back of Hand Ninja3, impaling Hand Ninja2 as well
Colleen was rushed by 2 Hand Ninja's as well, and using the training she had down with Naruto, she took a deep breath and focused, when Hand Ninja4 came first with his sword held high she slammed hr nodaichi into it sending him forward before she ducked under Hand Ninja5's sword slash and spun on her feet, bisecting both men
Hand Ninja6 jumped over the couch trying to cut Colleen down but she stepped back and raised her sword to block the follow up attack, before she parried the attack and cut an X into the man's torso before she placed her sword on the man's shoulder against his neck and sliced across it
Davos leaned back as Hand Ninja6 and 7 tried to cut his head off, before he stepped between them and kicked Hand Ninja8 in the chest, before he turned to Hand Ninja6 and Hand Ninja7 and reached forward as they slashed at him again and batted their arms away before he lunged forward and slammed his arms into their necks sending them falling back, before he turned to his right and grabbed the elbow of Hand Ninja8 and kicked the man in the back of the knee sending him down before another kick to the face caused him to fall back as Davos caught the sword and stabbed the man in the heart
Hand Ninja6 tried to cut off Davos arm but he pulled it back in time and caught Hand Ninja6' arm and twisted it until it broke, before he pulled them man forward to the ground and stomped on his head,
Hand Ninja7 jabbed the sword at Davos who spun around it and put him in a full nelson before he snapped the man's neck
Naruto stood being riddled with bullets by Hand Ninja9, Hand Ninja10 and Hand Ninja11, before they were out and tossed their guns and ran at Naruto
Hand Ninja11 arrived first and punched at Naruto who leaned his upper body out of the way, as Hand Ninja11 came for another swing, Naruto kicked his elbow, but Hand Ninja11 turned and tried a spinning back fist, but Naruto ducked, and batted down Hand Ninja11's jab, and parried his hook keeping the arm pinned between his arm and his body, as Hand Ninja11 tried to kick him but he slapped it away with his forearm, and punched Hand Ninja11 in the gut before a headbutt to the chest sent Hand Ninja11 flying to the large tank
Hand Ninja9 tried to punch Naruto but the blonde grabbed his wriat, and held it out as he broke the man's wrist, holding onto the broken limb, Naruto gave a backhand to Hand Ninja9's neck, before he swung his body behind Hand Ninja9's back and forced the man to bend over as his head was now between his knees, with both the man's arms in his grasp, Naruto pulled while twisting his hips sharply and broke Hand Ninja9's neck
Dropping the corpse, Naruto stepped back as Hand Ninja10 rushed him, before he quickly jumped and kicked the man in the gut, and a left jab to the jaw sent Hand Ninja9's upper body to the side, before a right hook to the gut forced him to hunch over, then a left yellow glowing fist hit the man in the face sending him flying through the ceiling
Naruto, Natasha, Colleen, and Davos looked to Bakuto, who had Harold in his grasp, "Another step and I remove his head."
"Haven't you heard? Harold Meachum is already dead." Naruto said causing Harold to look at him in surprise before with a fake grin he leaned his head back so he could talk to Bakuto
"Thats just a bit of um..dark humor, Nathan is known for." Harold said
"I'm not joking. That thing in your grasp is the shell of the man who killed my parents. I could give 2 fucks what happens to him. You'll be doing me a favor. On second thought." Naruto's Sharingan appeared and suddenly Harold's face was engulfed in black flames causing him to scream
Bakuto quickly released Harold who was rolling on the ground, making his face to remove the flames of Amateratsu, but it just caused the flames to spread to his hands
"Colleen." Naruto said causing the woman to look at him, "He's your sensei. This is your fight."
Harold's screams suddenly quieted as he died, but the flames continued to eat away at his body,
Bakuto seemed to get some of his confidence back, as Colleen walked forward, "Colleen, do you really think you're worthy to challenge me? These three are warriors. You are nothing but a betrayer. You have no honor. I should have recognized you were too weak to be Hand. Deep in your soul, you know that you are nothing more than a teacher of children at a dojo that I gave you."
Colleen remained silent as the nodaichi she weilded divided into two, "Time to die, Bakuto."
Bakuto smirked before they charged at each other, and Bakuto tried to cut Colleen's neck but she raised her right sword to bat it away and tried to gut him but he blocked it and ducked when she tried to decapitate him, before he ran forward putting his sword behind him to block the slash for his back from Colleen
Turning Bakuto tried to cut Colleen's arm off, but she parried the swing and he spun around dodging the left slash she sent, before she blocked his counter with her right sword, but he dragged his sword along the blade to get her off balance and strike again but she used both swords to block but was kicked in the gut sending her stumbling back where sh flipped over a table as he slashed at her again
Raising her left blade, Colleen blocked the hacking slash from Bakuto who tried to use his strength to back her down but she moved back causing his sword to hit the table and she locked it down with her left blade and stabbed at Bakuto's eye with her right, but Bakuto raised a hand and caught the blade before it could stab him, as blood dripped from his palm, he tossed the blade back sending it out of Colleen's grip at Natasha who caught the blade between her fingers
Colleen seeing Natasha alright, jumped and spun on the table to kick Bakuto who leaned back under the kick and as she landed he kicked the table at her sensing Colleen back to a wall but she placed her foot on the wall and flipped over the table, and blocked a sweeping slash from Bakuto, who began to press the attack, before Colleen spun around a slash and as quickly as she could slashed down at Bakuto's leg but only managed to land a grazing blow, causing Bakuto to hiss
With a roar Bakuto slammed his blade into Colleen's but shouted in surprise when he was stabbed in the back by Davos,
Naruto sighed as Bakuto fell to the ground, Colleen glared at Davos before she looked down at Bakuto, "You were right, Bakuto. I never was cut out to be Hand."
"Kill him." Davos said holding the knife out for Naruto who raised an eyebrow
"No. He's going to jail." Naruto said looking at Bakuto, as Davos glared at him, "Your going to lice with the shame knowing out of all the fingers you will be the first to ever get arrested."
"We stay the course." Davos said before he stabbed Bakuto in the heart
Naruto shot forward and grabbed Davos, slamming hi into the wall, "I said we do this my way!" Naruto said
"You're the Iron Fist. Your duty is to kill the Hand not put them in cages. I see now that you're not a warrior. You are a failure. K'un-Lun would have been better off if Chodak and Tashi had never found you."
"Well they did." Naruto said, "And I've become the Iron Fist, something you've always wanted. But you weren't good enough. I was better than you then, and I'm still better than you. Go home Davos. You have 2 hours to be out of New York, or I will kill you myself."
Naruto pushed Davos to the door, "There will be consequences for this." Davos glared
"Impress me." Naruto said before Davos spat on the ground walked off
Later
Naruto and Joy watched as Ward bored ed his plane, to go get a new lease on life, and find his own happiness,
"You didn't have to come with me."
"You've been through a lot, with the Hand, and your fath-"
"Harold." Joy corrected getting a nod from Naruto
"Harold coming back from the grave, and Ward is leaving, I wanted to make sure you know that you aren't alone." Naruto said causing Joy to smile
"Thank you."
"I always got your back, Joy. Never forget that." Naruto said getting a nod, 'Want to grab something to eat?"
"I thought you'd never ask." Joy said walking off to the SUV, as Naruto chuckled and followed after her,
Finished
Iron Fist is finished, thank god.
