Creator of Alchemy
Chapter 12
Naruto groaned as he reformed inside Nina's room as his clone was checking up on her before it dispelled. He frowned as she started to stir before she woke up and looked at him.
"Daddy?" Nina asked out with a slight whine as the light of reforming must have woken her up.
"It's okay Nina, I was just checking up on you. Go back to sleep" he said as he kissed her forehead making her smile and close her eyes. "Sleep well sweetie cause I have a surprise for you tomorrow."
He chuckled softly as he saw Nina grow a massive smile. "Really?! Is it a fun surprise?" she asked excitedly as she tried to sit up from her bed only for Naruto to stop her with a smile.
"You will have to wait and see Nina, now go back to sleep and you will see in the morning" he said as Nina pouted but smiled as he kissed her forehead again, letting her start to fall back to sleep.
"Night Daddy, love you" Nina muttered out as she started to fall asleep.
"Love you too sweetie" he whispered out as he pet her head and carefully made his way out of Nina's room with a smile.
He carefully made his way out of the room of his in the underground compound before leaving a clone and flashed up to the house above. As he walked into his room he chuckled as he saw his clone had fallen asleep and was currently trapped in Olivier's arms as she always loved to cuddle with him in his sleep.
Carefully he substituted with the clone, dispelling it, and frowned as he learned that Olivier had to return to Briggs tomorrow morning after breakfast. Thankfully the clone, acting and being the exact same as him, made her a great dinner and made her last night at Central a great one.
He carefully brushed her long golden locked off of her face and smiled as she nuzzled closer to him with a warm smile on her face. As he stared he felt the stress of the day crash into him as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek.
While his eyelids grew heavier he knew he'd need some rest before tomorrow since it would be a bother with the Elrics and it wasn't long before he passed out.
-Next Morning-
Naruto smirked as he woke up to the familiar feeling of Olivier's breasts against his chest as he opened his eyes to see Olivier's full lips inches away from his. He smirked before he leaned forward, surprising her as she apparently didn't know he was awake.
"Morning beautiful" he said as she frowned.
"I wanted to wake you up with a nice kiss in the morning since you always normally do the same to me" Olivier said as he stroked her cheek and kissed her again.
"I know but after waking up to those pressed up against me," he said as he ran his hands over the tops of her breasts, chuckling at the soft blush on her face "but then when I saw those lovely lips of yours I couldn't help but kiss them."
"You are such a charmer aren't you?" she said as he smiled and kissed her deeply again.
"It is me you are talking about after all" Naruto said as she smirked and rested her head on his chest.
"I wish I didn't have to leave, I love being like this so much" Olivier said with a frown as he pet her head and ran his fingers through her hair, making her curl her toes at how much she loved it.
"I know but if things work out I will be visiting the north very soon" he said as Olivier's head shot up almost instantly with a huge smile on her face.
"Really? That's great!" Olivier said as she hugged him tightly, making him smile and rub her back.
"Yeah and I will be bringing a surprise with me, something I think you will really love" he said as Olivier frowned but she knew not to bug him about what his surprises were.
"Great now you got me all excited for when you come down even more and I still have to get ready to leave" she grumbled with a frown before Naruto kissed her forehead.
"It won't be long, don't worry. I'll help you get ready and we have a few hours so we can have some fun before then" he said as she smirked and licked her lips.
"Oh there are a few things I can think of to pass the time. Are you up for it?" she asked with a purr as he smirked and snaked his hands under the blanket and squeezed her rear with a smile.
"I am always up for it" he whispered back softly in her ear before she growled and pounced on him.
-A Few Hours Later-
Naruto gave Olivier one last kiss as they stood at the train station while they stood next to the train that would take her to the North and back to Briggs. They were luckily still able to make it to the train, even after losing track of time with their activities. Thankfully though he was still able to cook her a nice breakfast before they had to leave.
"I will call you once I arrive back and I expect a call of warning when you choose to come down. I don't want my men accidently shooting you like they did last time you did a surprise visit" Olivier said as she gave him a mild glare.
"Hey, it keeps them on their toes but I will call since I don't want my surprise for you getting damaged before you get it" Naruto said as the train started to blow its whistle to alert it was departing soon.
"I'd better get on. I love you Naruto" Olivier said softly as he smiled and kissed her again.
"I love you too, see you when I come up" he said as Olivier nodded and walked off onto the train.
He waited patiently until the train started to leave the station, waving to Olivier as it left and started to return to the North where Fort Briggs was.
'One task done, now we just have to tell Nina of the planned trip and explain everything to the Xing prince and the Elrics' Truth said as Naruto nodded and slid his hands into his pockets as he walked through the crowd of people and headed home.
Thankfully the train to the north was scheduled very early so Nina was still asleep, allowing him to tell her of the surprise himself and not make a clone do it. Carefully he made his way back home on foot, a bit worried how Nina would react to the situation.
He let out a sigh as he closed the door behind him and flashed to the compound under the house just in time as Nina barreled out of her room, running directly into his arms with a massive smile.
"Daddy! Is it surprise time!" Nina asked excitedly as he picked her up and smiled as she giggled.
"Yes it is but fist let's get you some food" he said as she pouted at him while he carried her to the kitchen before sitting her down on a chair.
"But I want my surprise" she whined as he chuckled and pet her head.
"Fine but I'm just a bit worried about how you will react to this" he said as he pet his four year old daughter's head with a frown.
Nina looked up at him confused before she smiled and hugged him. "If it's from you Daddy I'll love it" Nina said as he smiled and rubbed her back.
"Well I know how much you miss having a mom," he said as Nina frowned "the others have told me how you get all sad when the moms come to pick up your friend's from your playdates."
"I-I'm sorry-" she started to say with tears in her eyes before he stopped her with a smile.
"It's not bad to want a mother Nina, I know your real father took her away from you at a young age and I've been a bit nervous about telling you I have a wife" he said as Nina looked up at him in shock.
"Y-You mean I'm getting a Mama?" Nina asked in surprise as he nodded.
"Yes, and in a few days we are going to take a trip to visit her where she lives due to work" he said a bit nervously before Nina jumped from her seat and basically tackled him as she hugged him.
"Does that mean you are okay with it?" he asked as Nina pulled away from him and smiled before nodding vigorously.
"Y-Yes Daddy! When are we going to go!?" she asked excitedly as he wiped the tears from her cheeks with a smile.
"Well I have to get things set up and I have to take you clothes shopping since it is really cold up north. It'll probably be today or tomorrow when we leave" he said as Nina's smile only grew as she bounced around excitedly.
As she bounced around he was thankful that she was okay with Olivier being her mom essentially. This wasn't the first child he had raised but this would be one of the firsts he would be raising with Olivier and he was a bit excited for it.
Now all he had to do was get things ready for the trip up there and the Elrics.
-Few Hours Later-
Naruto sighed at the coming headache he could feel as he walked to the library that he could feel Ed and Al sitting inside of as he could more or less 'sense' their souls. He had spent most of the morning shopping with Nina, getting her a thick enough winter jacket for the north as well as some other clothes she needed and wanted.
He narrowed his eyes as he noticed who the Elrics were sitting at a table with as he hid in the shadows.
'What the hell is a homunculus doing here? And a little kid none the less' he thought as he tried to use his negative emotion sensing to figure out what sin he was since they all gave off the emotion of the sin.
"He's Pride, the first homunculus the Dwarf created. He can't sense us so just wait until he is gone to talk to the Elrics" Truth said as Naruto nodded and waited as Selim Bradley left with his 'mother', leaving the Elrics at the table.
"You two have terrible luck for attracting attention" he said as Ed quickly turned out and stared at him in shock.
"N-Naruto?! You're alive?!" Ed asked as Naruto scoffed and sat down on an empty chair at the table.
"Yes I am, now how was your meeting with the 'Dwarf of the Flask'?" Naruto asked as Ed frowned.
"What the hell is he? How the hell did you get out of Gluttony? What the hell are you!?" Ed said as he asked some of the many questions that were whirring through his head.
"Ugh, this is going to take a while. Here, I am going to tell you everything I can but first I need you both to look in my eyes. Al I'm not 100% sure this will work on you but let's try anyways" he said as Ed looked at him confused.
"What are you talking about, just answer the questions" Ed said as Naruto sighed and pointed to his eyes.
"I will, I just need you to look in my eyes first" he said as both of the Elrics looked into his eyes.
"Perfect, now Tsukuyomi" he said as he activated his Rinne-Sharingan and casted the illusion over the Elrics to tell them everything he could without wasting time.
He chuckled as he watched Ed daze off with blank eyes as he noticed Al's helmet eyes had dimmed before the eased out of the illusion after about five seconds.
"W-Wow that was insane" Al said as Naruto chuckled and nodded.
"That can't be true. What did you just show us" Ed asked as Naruto sighed and stood up.
"It is and I showed you the basics, how I got my stone and everything I know about the Dwarf and his homunculi" he said as he patted Ed on the shoulder.
"So boys, tell me what happened on your end and what's your next plan?" Naruto asked as Ed frowned and clenched his fist before he started telling him about all that happened in the Dwarf's lair.
-Few Minutes Later-
Naruto frowned and rubbed his chin with a frown as he didn't like the fact that Ling had accepted the mantel of Greed or that Gluttony had been absorbed into the Dwarf to recharge the fat homunculus's stone.
"This really is not good. So what's your next move?" he asked as Ed pulled out a letter.
"I'm heading to the North to Fort Briggs, Major Armstrong wrote me a letter of introduction to Major General Armstrong" Ed said as Naruto took it from his hand and looked it over with a frown.
"Great, that's where I'm planning to go next. We can go together cause you'll need more than this little letter, which mind you will end you up in her holding cell" he said as he tossed it back to Ed.
"Wait do you know Major General Armstrong?" Al asked as Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"A bit but I know Alex enough to know that he and his sister don't get along. When are you heading up?" he asked as Ed checked his watch.
"Tomorrow, it's too late to go now." Ed said as Naruto nodded.
"Well that works for me too boys, meet me by the train station tomorrow morning. My daughter and I will be there as soon as the first train gets out" he said as the Elrics looked at him confused.
"Wait your bringing teacher with us? Why?" Al asked as Naruto chuckled.
"Not Izumi, though it wouldn't be her first time up there. This child of mine is someone I adopted recently this year. Her dad was an asshole and I saved her from being killed. She'll be excited to go on a trip" he said as he started to leave the library, leaving behind confused Elrics.
"See you tomorrow boys" he said as he turned the corner and flashed away.
-Later That Night-
Naruto chuckled as he laid down a very hyper Nina in the spare room of his house as she had been hyper and excited ever since he told them they were leaving tomorrow for the North. "Sweetie, calm down and go to sleep, you staying up all night won't make waking up early next morning any easier" he said as he tucked her into the bed.
"But I want to meet my new Mama now" Nina whined as he kissed her forehead and tickled her sides, making her giggle until she begged him to stop.
"I know and Mama will be very happy to see you but you need to sleep so we can get up early tomorrow and catch our train" he said as she nodded with a frown.
"Will Mama love me like you do Daddy?" she asked as he smiled and pet her head.
"Of course she will, she will love you so much so get some rest so you can be all awake when we go to visit her" he said as Nina nodded and reached up to kiss his cheek.
"Night Daddy" she said as Naruto smiled warmly at her.
"Night sweetie" he said as he went and turned off her light before leaving her room.
As he closed the door he felt a pulse of a marker. It wasn't one of his specialized markers like the ones he had given Izumi, Riza, or Martel, who was living with Riza to keep an eye on her.
Silently he summoned a wood clone and pointed to Nina's room. "Keep an eye on her, with the Dwarf and his creatures running around I'm not taking any chances" he said as the clone nodded before Naruto flashed away to the marker.
-Warehouse-
As he arrived at the marker he looked around to see he was in an abandoned warehouse before he noticed the person who had the marker. "Lust, good to see you. Does this mean you have your answer?" he asked with a smile as he saw the homunculus walk out of the shadows with a friendly but nervous smile.
"Yes. I have thought it over and it would be idiotic to go against someone like you just for someone who probably sees us as nothing but something to sacrifice later" Lust said as she clenched her fist.
After Naruto had offered her his deal in the underground basement she had thought about it deeply, even going as far as to run away to think clearly and keep Father from realizing her thoughts like he always had a way to do.
"Though first I need you to promise a few things to me first" Lust said as he nodded and grabbed one of the few chairs around the room before sitting down.
"As long as you give me information on the Dwarf then we can definitely make a deal" he said as she nodded.
"First I want you to hide me from the others. If I am to betray my Father then I want to be hidden after I do it" she said as he nodded.
"That was a given considering I offered it to you in the beginning" he said before motioning for her to continue.
"I want to retain my philosopher stone and immortality as well" Lust said as she put her hand over her ouroboros tattoo almost protectively.
"That should be fine, as long as you don't cause any trouble" he said as Lust seemed to let out a breath she was holding.
"And finally I want to help take my Father down. It is the only way I can see myself ever truly being safe" she said as Naruto's eyes widened in shock.
"You want to help take down the Dwarf?" he asked in shock as Lust nodded. He was completely surprised as all he was expecting was for her to tell him some more of the Dwarf's plans.
"Yes, as I said if I want to be safe I need to take my Father down and I want to help. I'm not some scared girl, I'm going to help" she said as he chuckled and clapped his hands.
"Your timing could not be any more perfect" he said with a smirk. "We are going to the North tomorrow since I know it is the only place your siblings haven't touched."
"I know what they are planning to do. Take me with and I can help" she said as he frowned a bit and shook his head.
"You can't come with me per se but I can send you up there. I have someone I guess you would call an ally up there with a clone of mine. I can send you to them to wait for us since my clones are linked up" he said as Lust nodded.
"So I just wait for you up there with yourself?" Lust asked as he picked up his Hiraishin marker.
"Yes, my clone, who acts and knows everything I do the moment my real self does, will know what to do and when to do it" he said as she nodded.
"So Lust, do we have a deal?" Naruto asked as he held out his hand with a smile.
"Deal" she said as they shook hands before he put the marker back in her hand and flashed her away to his clone that was with his ally, wherever they were before they started moving north.
'I do hope that he won't be too troublesome' Naruto thought with a frown as his ally was never really too stable. Of course they weren't nearly as bad as they use to be but they were still a bit iffy when it came to morals.
"He'll be fine if he values his life. Let us head back home, we still have to plan for our trip north" Truth said as Naruto nodded before flashing back home to get things ready before he left
-Next Morning-
He smiled softly as he dressed a still half-awake Nina for Fort Briggs before he picked her up, letting her go back to sleep in his arms. Everything he knew or thought that he would need was sealed away in his wrist seal.
He wore a thicker version of his tan coat which now had a white fur lining around the hood and ends of the sleeves.
Nina wore a thick purple coat that he had gotten a size or two bigger than her normal one to keep her bundled up and had a hood on it since for the most part he wanted to keep her a surprise for Ed and Al until they at least got to Briggs. He just hoped she stayed asleep for most of the train ride.
He softly kissed the top of Nina's head before he put up her hood and sealed her little pink suitcase into his wrist seal before he made his way out of the house.
There was no need to call and alert Olivier since he had done it last night and she was excited for him to come down. Of course he told her to have Buccaneer do the usual skit with them and throw them in the lock up.
"Come on Nina, let's get going to meet mama" he said with a smile as he locked his house and activated the seals before he started to walk to the train station with the asleep Nina nuzzling up to him in his arms.
-Chapter End-
For the identity of the "ally" he sent Lust to, you'll just have to wait until I reveal him in a later chapter. All I can say is that it will be interesting and they and Lust will show up around the Kimbly fight
For the reason why he didn't flash them all to Briggs is because for someone who isn't use to the Hiraishin (Ed and Nina as it would have no effect on Al) it can be very disorienting and can make them feel sick due to it. So to keep Nina from it he took a train.
Olivier will love Nina (who doesn't) and will treat her like her own and be very protective of her since if Naruto adopted her then she knows that Naruto sees Nina as effectively his flesh and blood so Olivier might as well consider the same.
Also it'll be a fun shock to have Ed and Al discover Nina is alive and being looked after by Naruto.
I hope you all liked it
