Hello! Sorry for the late update but I got a good reason, my exams were shit and i decided to take something simpler, so i've got more time!
Fuck it, let's go!
"Coming here was a bad idea." Risa said as she took a bite of her meal and continued "but with bringing Naruto here, I'll let that slide." She said to Itami.
Tomita looked through the windows for a moment before closing the curtains "She's right lieutenant, even if she's your ex she's still an civilian. Besides that we might should've did what that ANBU guy told us."
"Yeah well, that guy might not know we were maybe followed, that incident in the metro might have been for us." Itami guessed "So we need to go dark and avoid any suspiciousness of activity. I mean people, vehicles anything that looks weird on us."
"Okay, but why drag me into this?" Risa asked irritated.
"Oh wow, what's this?" their conversation halted when they heard Rory speak shout in surprise, the three turned around to see all of the girls looking into an book.
Itami asked "Kuribayashi, where are the Anasazi?"
She waved off while focusing on the album "They said they're gonna pray or something like that." She motioned her hand to come her "but look." The three Japanese came over to them and looked at the front of the book and what is read
Naruto Uzumaki's journal: The ugly truth of Mesopotamia, 2016-2017
Risa gasped at which pictures it were and protested "Wait, these are private. Naruto said nobody could see them!"
Kuribayashi smirked as she was curious "Oh, so he has something to hide?" she turned the page and when they saw the pictures, words could not describe what it was.
In one picture, Naruto and a another man stood over a line of dead bodies with all of them being men, tied with their hands with wires behind their back against the ground. All of them were shot in the head. Naruto was holding an AK while the guy next to him held an pistol.
"What the hell is this?!" Kuribayashi yelled as she gripped onto the album "Why does he keep pictures of DEAD BODIES in this!?" she yelled out.
Pina kept her hands in front of her mouth, surprised that she saw something like this with her mentor involved as the two other blondes looked also horrified. Rory didn't seem to be bothered but started to ask questions to herself in her mind. Itami was could only close his eyes out of knowledge of what he knew while Tomita flinched slightly.
Risa flinched as she said "I told you not to look into it, it's private."
Lelei saw something beneath that was written in a different language "Hey, look." She attracted the others their attention "There's something written. " she meant the text.
Kuribayashi saw what it was "It's in English."
Tomita said "So, start reading it." getting an angry reply from Kuribayashi "Hey my English is bad. How am I supposed to read this?"
Someone snatched the album of her hand and it was Itami who began reading it.
First of august 2016, few days after Iraqi forces retook Fallujah we came across an torn up building which intel said was occupied by ISIS insurgents. Me and an volunteer from Belgium who I will call Tarik went inside the building and found these corpses, execution style. We later found out an group of Shia militias who worked close with us was here first and gathered up all the surrendering jihadists and executed them. Tarik told me that he heard one of the Iraqis say that before these prisoners were executed, they chanted out Shia slogans to mock them before they shot them, it was later found out these Shia militias were known for being ruthless against anybody who would oppose them. Guess is sends a message to ISIS that they are not taking prisoners off grid. While I'm writing in this in my journal and detachment of Iraqi soldiers are already cleaning up the act and made sure their bodies were never found. It was clear to me that some branches of Iraqi army were working hand in hand with these militias.
"This is an involvement in a direct war crime." Tomita stated "Why would he keep evidence of that?"
Next was a picture of a shot up road with a sign which on it was Mosul, meaning this picture was made on the way towards Mosul but what really caught their attention is what was hanging from the light poles; several bodies were hanging from their necks per pole with their heads covered in a black bag and signs written in Arabic. Naruto was seen standing below the light pole, looking up at the hanging body.
Kuribayashi looked ready to barf "Oh god..."
We're on our way to Mosul and we found these bodies hanging from the poles. With these ISIS bastard on the run everybody else is picking the scraps piece by piece. Leaving examples like dead ISIS fighter for the nearby villages, an direct message to those the ISIS members who stayed behind and went into hiding like 'You're next.' Or for the ones who came across Europe to fight alongside ISIS 'Should've stayed in Paris, now you die on our land.' or any other capital of Europe. Making an direct statement to the foreign fighters. Some of the army managed to send these pictures to the insurgents so they got the message, to my knowledge was every attempt made by the jihadists to spread it through social media was stopped. Of course these bodies were also cleaned up after this.
Risa was shocked about the amount of detail that was written and asked "Was Naruto planning to document all these crimes?"
Itami turned the page around and closed his eyes for a moment on what he saw which was horrible. It was a picture of room and in that room was filled with bodies. Not just bodies, burned up bodies and rotting corpses with flees flying around the brown infested skulls.
Even with the amount of bodies I've seen around Iraq it still is not comparable to what I saw in home in Mosul, the house was filled with fresh burned bodies with the skin still covered in blood to rotting corpses with the skulls being the only recognizable part of the body. These jihadist fucks have killed everybody who they caught with their morality police. They just slaughtered them all off like cattle and left them like garbage cans.
Next was a picture of the volunteer called Tarik, standing over an dismembered body of a woman covered in an black veiled niqab, with the veil in his hand and looking mean at the body.
Today was perhaps the most fucked up day in my life, me and Tarik were on patrolling for any survivors in the neighborhood when we suddenly came across this woman, covered from head to toe in the black veiled niqab walking towards us in silence, Tarik immediately ordered her to stop in Arabic but she wouldn't stop, she only managed to stop when Tarik fired a warning shot in the air. Tarik began to order her to remove the veil and name her name, only did she ignored those orders and began to speak out Quranic verses. This made Tarik pull the trigger on her, killing the woman with a shot in the stomach and then once in the head. We were actually lucky since the body exploded. Tarik went to the body and started calling her names. When I asked him why he had such hatred for them, he simply said "These…apes want to die, I will gladly do that for them. These fuckers killed a friend of mine and I don't feel any compassion for these sons of bitches." No remorse, no compassion.
"Wow...that's some deep stuff." Kuribayashi couldn't believe the stuff she was reading, while on the news there was reporting of some hideous acts were perpetrated in the war against the jihadists by both sides it was only limited to news for most people.
"Let's get to the last page." Itami suggested as he skipped the rest of the journal and started reading the last paragraph.
For anyone who is reading this will probably ask why I keep these pictures? Thinking maybe I'm some kind of war junky that keeps these for my own pleasure or some shit? If you think I am like that then you're dead fucking wrong. From what I learned of my tour and when I came back to Japan I saw the ignorance, the arrogance and shameless stereotyping of people in the middle east. Seeing them as a bunch of crazed people who are backwards, medieval and impulsive.
You know what I think about it what those politicians and media anchors keep saying? They are full of it, knowing full well who is behind the killing and anarchy that was left behind. Acting like our society was so much better. To the ones who read this, what would you do if you're country was being invaded for an empty lie? Your streets being occupied by foreign powers? When your family is killed or on the run, what would you do? You fight, after all this fighting in Iraq and Syria I just realized something.
Nobody can put an end to all of this, if it is with the Kurds or the Arabs or the Persians or whatever group it is or if you're Shia or Sunni. This region will always be an battlefield where conquerors will perish their enemies with brute force. That is why these wars are not won , not by new weapons or technology, but with fear…
So long we, the western world and the whole wide world will stay and keep doing the countries dirty work the middle east will always be unstable. It's up to the people of these countries to decide for themselves if they want either to talk this out…or go on an all-out war but as far as I see it, history will repeat itself.
Like how old European monarchies and traditions fell apart after world war 1 and world war 2, the middle east will have to go through that phase if they want to go towards that path it's their decision.
It's up to them to settle this conflict.
"Amazing…" Kuribayashi said in amazement of what she read. The door behind them opened and there came walking the Anasazi with Hussein seeing them looking into something "What are you reading?"
"Look it for yourself. Kuribayashi replied, handing the book over to them.
Hussein took the book and start reading it and the expression on his face looked very neutral until he finally ended reading it "Well that explains a lot."
"Huh? Why?" Risa questioned.
"This, these pictures," He pointed at the bodies "Is the same thing the merchant did to my people."
"Really?"
Kemal nodded as he remembered the old awful days "It's something where we put an oath on."
"An oath?" Tomita asked "What oath?"
Emir spoke this time "To never do it upon to others, those day…the humiliation…the anarchy….the bloodshed." Emir thought of how that all ended, he was just a child when he saw the ending of the bloody era of 'The Days of the Bloody Tears' when an unified army of warriors from the desert ended it by marching through his city.
He smirked "There's a reason why Naruto is called the Father of the Anasazi."
In the basement
Naruto just filled in two glasses of bourbon on the table, one for him and one for his sister.
Narumi couldn't believe what she just heard of what Naruto had done for what apparently was for him a decade on the other side of that gate while it has only been a year "Wow…wait! How are you still 28?"
Naruto chuckled as he put the bottle down "That's a long story," he sat back on the couch "Let's just say I somehow turned ten years younger when I woke up."
Narumi smiled for her brother, unknown to the brother was that Narumi had an earpiece on, letting the people of Rainbow outside listen into their conversation.
"This Is amazing, dying in the midst of a battlefield and awoken in another dimension. That's an experience."
"Shhh Grace, we want to listen."
"Oh yeah, sorry."
"Narumi," She turned her attention to her brother "What would you say if we both tomorrow go visit some parts in Tokyo." He smiled kindly "Just the two of us, just like old times."
Narumi smiled at that idea and replied happily "Sure."
"Good, but first," he reached his hand over to her ear and grabbed the earpiece and held it in front of his mouth "Sorry guys, our reunion will have to wait after I'm done." He turned off the earpiece and left the Rainbow operators hanging.
He turned to his sister and smirked "Don't think I forget about that." He downed his glass as did Narumi as they planned what to do for tomorrow and after they planned it out they like the others went to sleep. While Narumi took the bed of Naruto's, he decided to sleep on the couch. He took a blanket and laid back on the couch as he stared to the ceiling until he closed his eyes and slept into the abyss.
In the next morning, Naruto woke up early. He rubbed his eyes as he looked over and saw his sister still sleeping in his bed. He smiled as he left her to sleep further and went up the stairs.
He opened the door and closed it slowly behind him, the light of the sun went through the windows as he walked through the small hall and noticed that in one of the rooms Rory was seen praying while in the other room his friend Kemal was leading a prayer with Hussein and Emir while kneeling for a moment until the bowed their heads to the ground, their way of praying was similar to that of the Muslims which he was very used to by now. He went to the kitchen and made himself a cop a coffee.
"Alright, time to have some fun!" Naruto entered the living room, seeing Itami addressing the others. All of them were already dressed and were paying attention to Itami.
"Huh? You've got to be kidding me, we don't got time to screw around." Kuribayashi commented while pointing at the television, showing the Diet story over and over again.
"Listen, my motto is live hard to play even harder and of course possible eat and sleep in between." Itami raised his fist and then explained "Besides, if we're going exactly where we're supposed to then the threat is going to be there. we might as go where the people are there's more witnesses there."
"Ya!" Risa raised up a stack of yens with on it aid money of Itami "Itami is right! It's time to go shopping, it's for our own safety!"
"Shouldn't you be using that money to I don't know, pay the bills?" Naruto suggested, getting the attention of everybody "What are you guys planning to do?"
Itami smiled "I thought now that we could use the day to let the girls see the city." Risa was already excited with the hope of helping the girls see the fashion shops of Tokyo while Bozes and Pina were shyly asking Tomita that they wanted to go to the library to find more information.
"Want to join us?" Itami offered.
Naruto declined his offer "I would love to but I promised my sister I would spend the day with her."
"Are you sure? It's pretty dangerous to go out there by yourself." Kuribayashi suggested the chances of trouble they could run into.
"I'll carry a gun."
Tomita narrowed his eyes "Sorry to say but those guns probably won't-"
"Nah," Naruto interrupted as he walked over the Risa's manga filled cabinet and started gliding his hands over the side of it until he stopped and started pressing his hands against it until it opened like a door. In it laid a small weapons case.
Kuribayashi eyes widened "What!"
Naruto first grabbed an Glock 18 semi-automatic with extending mags and puts it into gun holster which was installed on his hip and gestured his hands "There, I now have an upgrade."
Risa crossed her arms "How many more guns are there in my cabinet?"
Naruto shrugged nervously and said "Well, I need to bring this coffee to my sister." He closed the secret door and said "You take the guys, Itami you have my sister's number if you need something." He left the room.
Itami smiled as he turned to the others "Okay, let's go!"
Outside the house
"Hmppp!" Ash yawned while stretching her arms after monitoring the house for the whole night. She turned her chair to see that Mute and Dokkaebi were still up and that Jackal was walking towards her with an cup of coffee and offered it to her "Here."
Ash smiled and took the cup "Thanks." He nodded and went back to his chair. Ash turned back to her screen while having a sip from her cup, when she saw the front door go wide open she puts the cup down and called it in "We've got movement. Grace can you eavesdrop on them?"
"I'm on it." Dokkaebi started typing fast on her keyboard. She then began to listen to the conversations "Okay, looks like they all are going to explore the city."
"Someone write it down." Mute grabbed a pencil and paper "Continue."
Dokkaebi and Jackal started focusing on the monitor as Risa started coming out of the house with Kuribayashi, Lelei, Rory and Tuka following her "This is gonna be soooo fun!" The glass wearing girl happily shouted while waving her bundle of money around while the girls followed her. Then a moment later Itami walked out, sighing out of frustration how Risa was walking away with his earnings until he walked the other way.
The Korean chuckled at what the girl was holding "I guess that's why Naruto only paid his share."
Jackal sighed as he leaned backwards, saying silently to himself "I know just how you feel brother…"
Then Tomita came out walking with the Saderan girls and the Anasazi men "Okay, first we go to the library for the ladies. You guys have any objections?"
"Oh no, we actually wanted to try learn something from this world. The library sounds a good spot to find information." Hussein replied to the Japanese man as they all started crossing the road and walk.
Jackal saw something he wished he didn't "Oh no…oh no."
"What is it Jackal?"
He pinched his nose "Look what the redhead is holding on." he pointed his finger at the magazine the girl was holding on, only it wasn't a magazine; it was a manga and specifically a one with two men kissing on it.
Dokkaebi started laughing at what she saw "Yes!"
"Oh my god." Jackal groaned "I remembered, Naruto lives with not only a manga freak, but also with an-"
"An Yaoi drawer!" Dokkaebi clapped her hands "Welcome to the club!"
"I swear, what is it with Asian girls liking men kissing each other with that Yaoi shit?"
"What is it with men liking two good looking women kiss each other?" Ash retorted the question at the Arab.
Mute replies "You know she got a point, mate."
Jackal did the 'the fuck bro?' gesture until he noticed Naruto exiting the house "Here comes our rising star."
Naruto and Narumi were the last ones to exit the house, with Naruto locking the door with the keys, he was noticeably holding a duffel bag that looked heavy.
"What's in the bag Naruto?" Narumi asked.
"Just extra measures." He answered as out of nowhere an black SUV came pulling up with dark windows. The car stopped in front of them and two men came out of the vehicle, revealing it to be ANBU agents. Both men wore the cloaks with one of them wearing a snail mask and the other a raccoon "We're ready to go."
Naruto and Narumi entered the back seats of the car as they drove away.
"They're leaving." Ash turned to the driver seat "Jäger, follow the car.
"I'm on it." Jäger replied as he got the truck moving, but didn't noticed that several cars were speeding around with white masked people in it.
Later: cemetery
Naruto and Narumi were walking through a pad, going past the many gravesites of deceased persons who loved ones would visit times to times. They were going to visit a two grave tombs of which one of the siblings felt like a decade he didn't visit.
Naruto stopped in front of the tomb stones of the two people he missed the most.
Kushina Uzumaki
Minato Namikaze
Naruto sat down on his bottom in front of his parents' resting place "Hey mom, hey dad," his emotions started to spill and he was forced to look up and dry those tears up "Oh, my." He chuckled as he looked down before looking back at his parents' graves "You don't know what I've been doing for the past 10 years, even if it was only 1 year on earth, you still won't believe it."
Narumi smiled at Naruto being able to open up about what he's been holding back.
"The adventures that I made, the people I met, the places I saw. There's just so many things I want to say but I know I can't. I just hope you could witness it, that's all." He pulled out a bouquet of flowers.
"Dad, you always told me to be protective of the ones I care about, so I took your advice for granted to an extent possible even you wouldn't imagine. So to make it clear, you taught me well dad, no doubt about it."
Naruto then turned to his mother's grave "Mom, I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm still single." Narumi couldn't help but giggle "I know you always said "I want you to make sure one of my grandkids will be called Kushina." And that you said you wanted me to have a good wife who is like you, strong, not submissive and even reckless. Even if she was redheaded like her.
'I think we both know that won't be a problem, only if you consider the competition.' Narumi thought as she knew already some of those who fitted those characteristics.
Naruto laid the flowers down between the two gravestones and stood up "You both taught me to never go back on my words, and I won't do that. Not to those who I am obliged to." Naruto kept staring at the graves until he felt Narumi touch his shoulder "Thanks for everything…"
Kuribayashi smiled at how the girls were having a great time shopping, normally she wasn't into this kind of things but she rather be with them than with the lieutenant who was going to buy mangas or Tomita, on which she saw the Saderan princess holding onto a Yaoi manga…god.
When they were walking down the busy shopping district, Kuribayashi seem to sense like someone was following her. Unknown to her was that it was a guy with a white mask following her. Because in Japan it was not uncommon to wear face masks it didn't attract a lot of attention.
But when the guy started to pull out a pistol and was pointing at the non-suspicious girls.
An police officer just came around the corner and spotted the armed guy "Hey! You!"
The masked man turned his focus on the officer and shot him first before he himself was shot by Kuribayashi, the streets turned into chaos as she spotted more white mask wearing freaks running out of the alleys with rifles.
Pina and Bozes were thrilled with what they found while Tomita was dumbstruck, he didn't understand how fast these two girls were sucked into the yaoi culture.
He saw how the Anasazi were mostly in the other side of the library, where they were reading books for hours of Greek democracy and its history, the history of the United States, the French Revolution and the past wars in Europe. It was certainly fascinating how they were reading these books and taking notes on them. No wonder the Anasazi were considered a secondary power in the Special Region.
"So much blood for in the end to be humiliated and decapitated," Hussein shook his head "Robespierre, you fell to the addiction of greed." Putting the book of the history of France away.
Kemal was about to grab another book of political history until he noticed something through the window, some people in the same clothes were coming towards them, all of them wore white masks.
And he saw one of them was carrying an rifle and cocking it.
Pina walked towards him asked "What's wro-" he grabbed her by the head and ducked down from the window.
"Hostiles!" Kuribayashi/Tomita yelled.
The windows were being shot up as multiple rifles fired upon the library, forcing everybody inside to take cover.
Tomita grabbed for his sidearm and yelled "Is everybody okay?"
"Princess Pina!" Bozes wanted to stand up but was pulled back to the ground by Tomita "Let me go, or else-"
"Whatever you do, don't stand up. If you do you're good as dead!"
They began to shoot at the building again, as books started to shatter and paper was shot to pieces and splinters were flying around, only those who laid on the ground were safe.
Emir and Kemal reached for their revolvers while Hussein checked on the civilian library worker who laid on the ground, he turned her body around and saw she was already bleeding from the shoulders and was hyperventilating.
"Shhh. Calm down." Hussein tried to calm her down while taking off his coat and putting it over her "Stay with me."
Emir tried to load his Lee Enfield with bullets while keeping check on the nearby entrances if anybody came through "Kemal!
"Here!" Kemal replied as he was crouching for one of the entrances and took cover next to it "Minister! Minister!"
"I'm here, Kemal!"
"Stay in cover! We can't afford to lose you."
Hussein wanted to protest, but understood it with the current situation "Okay," he noticed a guy with a white mask and a gun trying to enter through Kemal's entrance point "Kemal look out!"
Kemal quickly turned his head to the door and saw the man, he pulled out his revolver and quickly shot the guy in the chest twice, making the man stumble back and drop to the floor "Emir, cover the windows!"
Emir nodded "I'm on it." he stood up and ran for the nearby table and turned it over for cover, just as gunfire from outside almost hit him.
Two white masked attackers started exchanging gunfire while slowly advancing towards the back entrance, while the Anasazi were busy holding off their friends from up front.
Once they entered through the backdoor, they started slowly approaching to the room where their targets were.
Bozes and Pina crawled beneath a table and watched how Tomita, Kemal and Emir tried to stay in their cover spots while keeping the enemy outside from coming in. they saw how the weaponry these people used were much more damaging that what they used against them. With the walls filled with bullet holes and everything from the books to the chairs were shot off.
"I can't believe it…" Bozes said shocked at what she witnessed "Everything…just in a matter of seconds all this…is destroyed."
Pina couldn't agree more but was too focused on the current situation, with Hussein trying to help the wounded librarian and the others firing back at their attackers. She noticed that that next to her a foot appeared. She looked up and noticed it belonged to an white masked man who was pointing his weapon at Emir.
"Behind you!" she yelled.
Emir heard her and turned around, the masked man fired his shotgun at Emir, while Emir himself fired once at the masked attacker, hitting him in the gut, dropping him before Emir looked to his shoulder, where he was bleeding and dropping down himself.
Tomita reloaded his pistol when he heard rapid gun fire from different directions and police sirens nearing down the streets, meaning police is coming. If they just hold on for a few moments-
"EMIR!" Tomita heard the screaming and turned around and saw Kemal running for his wounded friend and tried to stop the bleeding.
"Hold on, brother. You're going to be alright."
Click!
Kemal froze when he heard that sound, he turned his head slightly around and saw one of the white masked attackers, pointing a shotgun at his face.
The masked man turned his head to Tomita "Drop the gun or he gets it." he spoke in a Japanese accent.
Tomita couldn't take the risk, so he bend down and rests the pistol on the ground while seeing movement from behind the terrorist, holding onto something.
Then the terrorist pointed at Hussein "You, come with me!"
"But she's dying." Hussein pointed at the dying librarian "She needs medical treatment."
The terrorist dragged Kemal by the collar and kept his sights on Hussein until he pointed his shotgun at the woman and pulling the trigger.
BANG!
Bozes and Pina shrieked out of horror while Tomita grew angry and yelled "Bastard!"
Hussein just stared at the now dead woman and apologized "I'm sorry…"
"You don't have to apologize minister! This scumbag here killed her!"
"SHUT UP!" the terrorist yelled to silence them and cocked the shotgun before pointing it at Hussein "Stand up, or I count to three."
Behind the terrorist, an operator with an SAS patch was sneaking up to him.
"One!"
He pulled out a six inch blade out of his sleeve.
"Two!"
Hussein closed his eyes. Ready for the full blast. Just as an EMP grenade with the British union jack on it dropped on the floor.
"Minister!" Kemal protested.
"Three-
Then everything turned black.
SHINK!
-ugh" *thud*
The lights turned on after a full minute and there lied terrorist, with a stab wound in his neck, in front of everybody stood an man with an gas mask, clothed in black military operator clothing.
The man tapped in the uplink and said "All clear."
Kuribayashi was exchanging gunfire with a dozen white mask attackers "Shit, I'm almost out!"
"Here!" a police officer threw her a mag "My last one!"
Kuribayashi caught it and replied "Thanks!" before reloading her pistol and firing twice at an attacker, hitting him in the chest twice before dropping down.
Risa, Tuka and Lelei tried to take cover in a clothing store while holding back Rory from going to create a massacre in a public area "Let me go!"
Rory was about to escape until she noticed the metal binders of the store going down and they were dragged away
The white mask started to advance up the street and killed the last police officer who died of a gunshot wound in the eye and dropped next to Kuribayashi.
"Shit!" she quickly ducked before grabbed the cop's last clips and putting it into her pockets before taking a deep breath and made a run for the store while unleashing a hail of bullets at the white masks.
She kept running while firing a round or two back at her chasers. She could count around a dozen white masks following her. Then a lucky shot by a white mask hit Kuribayashi's ankle.
"Argh!" she fell down to the ground, dropping her pistol and seething in pain "Damn, that hurts!" She look behind her and saw the white masks running towards her.
"Well," he she went under her jacket, pulling out a concealed small pistol "Here goes nothing."
Before she had the chance to pull out her pistol, three white masks suddenly were shot by rapid gun fire, forcing the rest to take cover.
Kuribayashi heard a motor engine and saw that from up the road, a heavy armored truck came rolling by with an guy wearing a Maska helmet and Degtyaryov machine gun on top of the truck.
Tachanka cocked his machine "White masks, let me turn into red!"
He started to fire his machine gun at the white masks, literally shredding their clothes with blood as the bullets went through like nothing.
One of the doors opened, and out of it came Blitz with his shield and behind him were IQ and Fuze shooting at the terrorists while Blitz took a stand in front of Kuribayashi, taking all the bullets for her with his shield.
"Fuze!" Blitz called out "Come and take her away! And make sure she's alive, this is not a simulation"
"I'm on it!" Fuze lowered his gun and took Kuribayashi, bridal style and took her to the truck "Bastard…"
IQ chose her targets and fired once at the time "Where's bandit and those FBI agents?"
"Let me go!" Castle dragged Rory over his shoulder like a kid while Rory was stomping her fists against his back while Pulse escorted Lelei and Tuka while Thermite was having problems with Risa, who couldn't help but clinch herself on him like a cat. As last Bandit wobbled over to the truck while holding his crotch.
"Is that your answer, sweetheart?" Blitz joked as the FBI team entered the truck with Bandit, still holding his crotch.
IQ rolled her eyes "Let's just go." she turned around while Blitz made a comment about her ass.
"God, that woman…" he entered the truck as the door closed behind him.
"Hey Kapkan!" Tachanka slammed against the truck "Move it."
The truck moved forwards as everybody got out quick within the first three minutes. Just as ANBU units entered the area.
"Urgh…Why is it so quite?" came from Emir.
"Emir!" Kemal jumped from his spot and rushed to Emir's side, checking him out "Are you okay?"
"I've just been shot in the damn shoulder, do I look okay?" Emir remarked sarcastically as he was being pulled up by Kemal to sit on his bottom. Just then a another operator came in and went to the two Anasazi warriors.
Kemal noticed him and quickly pulled reached for his revolver.
"Wow, wow, wow, wait. I'm Doc." Gustave said his codename "I'm a doctor and I just want to check on your friend."
Kemal kept his revolver on the guy. Not trusting him.
"I'm a friend of Naruto."
Kemal widened his eyes and lowered his gun. Doc together with Kemal started to strip Emir's upper body and check on his shoulder wounds, all the while other members of Rainbow entered the building.
Thatcher saw them enter and gave out orders "Smoke, Buck, you two secure the upper floors. Caveira, check the bodies of those bodies. Twitch, you search their bodies for cellphones, radios and gather any intel."
"On it!"
"And tell Rook and Montagne to keep everybody out! Nobody goes in or out without my authority.
"Copy that."
Hussein tapped the British man on the shoulder to make him turn around "Who are you?"
"Codename's Thatcher, we're here to escort you to an safer location." He pulled out an spray "Sorry mate, just percussion.
"What do you mean?" Hussein's question answer was his face being sprayed by Thatcher and it turned him sleepy.
"Ugh….what the…." He went unconscious.
"You're a cutie, aren't you?" Naruto was weeing around a little girl in the Yakushi orphanage, she was named Nanami, a black haired girl who was only three months old "and now orphaned at the age of 1 month."
Narumi and Nonō stood at the door, watching how Naruto laid Nanami in her bed while Kabuto was outside watching the children play in the playground behind the building.
"I still can't believe he's standing right there." Nonō said while she wiped away a tear from her eye "Yesterday I told you he would be with you, and now he's standing in front of us."
Narumi snickered "Yeah, tell me about it."
"Those stories of him…on the other side of the gate." The nun asked with concern "Are they true?"
"…I believe so, yes." Narumi answered in the best way possible "Reports say he's been living there for ten years while only being dead here for over a year."
"God moves in mysterious ways."
"Yeah…" Narumi scoffed with a smug "Tell me about it."
Nonō shook her head amusedly "Still being so skeptical, aren't you?"
Narumi waved her hand in defense "What can I say? Me and Naruto were always the other side of the coin."
Nonō couldn't help but laugh since it was true, when they were just toddlers she could remember Naruto always play as the peacemaker while Narumi was always the troublemaker. Like Yin-Yan, they needed balance.
Naruto walked over to them "They're sleeping."
"Good," Nonō smiled "Funny, it took me a hour to make Nanami go to sleep while you only managed to do that in a half hour. You're a natural with children, Naruto."
"Ah, what can I say." Naruto rubbed his back out of embarrassment "I only learned from the best."
"Oh really?" Nonō smirked " Maybe I should think about retiring and handing the business over to my son, or maybe you." She said while pointing out at him.
Naruto smiled at her offer "Oh Nonō, I wish I could but," Naruto puts his hands on her shoulders "I've got responsibilities now. People are counting on me to protect them."
Nonō felt proud that one of her 'sons' was doing so well with being a leader for people to go forwards but she also felt sad that she wouldn't be able to see her longer as he scheduled to leave in a few days "Is it possible to stay here, with us?" her hand glided over his cheek.
"I wish I could," Naruto said careful as possible "but I can't…" he saw that she was becoming sad so he thought of something and said "Maybe, I can arrange something with the government, giving you and the children of the orphanage a chance to explore the other side."
"You think you can do that?"
"Everything for my family." Naruto smiled as they suddenly heard someone screaming from outside, this screaming caused some of the infants to wake up and cry.
"Fuck sake." Naruto was annoyed as he went to the front entrance "Who in their right mind is stupid enough to-" he opened the door and looked stunned "Itami?"
Itami was being held back by the two ANBU agents "Let me go, it's an emergency!
"Let him go," Naruto ordered the ANBU's "He's ANBU.
They released him as he sprinted to him "Naruto, we've got a problem."
"This better be worth it cuz you just woke up a bunch of infants."
"Tomita and Kuribayashi's groups were attacked."
"What!?" Naruto asked as Narumi came out running.
"They were both attacked at the same time, just half an hour ago." Itami said "I haven't heard from them since." He took out his phone and showed the news headlines "
Shootout in shopping district, dozen deaths
Deaths in terror attack library
Narumi recognized one of the bodies on a picture "White Masks."
"Shit…" Naruto cursed shook his head, this was not good. He turned his head to Itami "You think they know where we are?"
Itami looked at him if he was crazy "They wouldn't shoot up-"
"These fuckers don't play by the rules, not since they used poison gas in Bartlett." He walked towards the car and opened up the trunk, he opened his bag and in there lied a bunch of weapons with a whole lot of ammo.
Itami grabbed an FAL assault rifle and was surprised by the amount of weaponry "Naruto, I knew you collected guns but-"
"Choose what you want." Naruto went through the weaponry and grabbed an M14 EBR sniper rifle with an ACOG scope and extended mags. He already had his Glock 18 and grabbed some grenades and flashbangs "Narumi, there's an MP5 for you ready, I know you like keeping it on the British way. You too guys, better being prepared then regret later."
the ANBU's decided to take Naruto's advice and took an interest in Naruto's arsenal with the first ANBU taking an ARC assault rifle with red dot sights and a small shotgun attached to it, while the second one chose the AK-47 with an extended magazine with also an ACOG scope.
Narumi just got her MP5 ready when she was suddenly called on her cellphone and picked up "Hello?" she listened for a moment before passing it to naruto "It's Six…"
"Naruto." He turned his head to the street and saw Kabuto walk towards him "What's going on?"
"No time to explain, I need you to bring everybody downstairs into the safe room."
"But-"
"Please Kabuto." Naruto said "There are bad people coming at any moment and we can't let them go near them. Now Go!"
Kabuto nodded and ran for inside while Naruto took the phone "Hey Six, sorry but I'm little bit busy at the moment."
"That's why I called, two teams have already extracted your friends from the shopping district and the library."
"Are they okay?"
"One of them has taken a shot to the shoulder but Doc should be repairing him right now." Six informed him "Look, we've already send two teams out to extract you-"
"I'm not going anywhere, Six. I cannot risk these bastards to cause more havoc then it is."
"Naruto, I know you have history in this orphanage." Six began "but the government doesn't wants your safety to be put at risk-"
"Who do you expect to take the risk, Six?" He interrupted her again, not realizing every member of Rainbow Six was listening on it "If I escape now, these fucks will try some fucked up shit on the these people, I cannot risk them to be bargaining chips or worse…" Naruto cocked his sniper rifle.
"….Okay, it seems like I've got no other choice. Ash and Ela's team are the closest to you locations but they're caught in traffic."
"Since when did you let Ash take a lead in…anything?"
"Remember that bet we had over 'I let Ash take command of anything if a meteor hits New Mexico."
"I think I already know." Naruto smirked at Itami who was loading his rifle with a new mag.
Then suddenly a unmarked SUV came out of nowhere and sped for Naruto and his group.
"Wait a moment, Six, we've got company." He puts the phone down before taking aim at the SUV and waited for the perfect sight. As all the while, a black hawk helicopter was observing them from the sky.
The he saw the driver, an White Mask.
BANG!
In an armored truck similar to that of Kapkan was driving, Ela was on the steering wheel while Zofia was listening in on the conversation of Six and Naruto, their team consisted Glaz, Lesion, Valkyrie, Mira and Vigil while Capitão took the remaining others and was flying above Tokyo with an black hawk helicopter.
"We're just three kilometers away from it and now we've got this." Ela slammed on the steering wheel "COME ON! Drive!"
"Stop it, Ela." Zofia stopped her "This is not helping."
"What do you suggest, sister?" Ela began against her sister "We're supposed to pick up Naruto, but ever since these White Masks want revenge they decided to attack him and his friends in the busiest day of all the week. Tell me!"
An pause was set before Ela realized who she was yelling at and shook her head in shame "I'm sorry sister i-"
"Hey," Zofia puts her hand on her sister's shoulder "I understand what you're going through. Really I do, we're all eager to see Naruto but now the current situation it is something else." Zofia smiled while it turned into a smirk "Not that you seem to see the difference."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I don't hide it."
"Hide what?"
"You're in love with him, dummy." Ela suddenly blushed very hard without even knowing it "You love the guy ever since he helped us out and you're too shy to tell him."
"That's, that's-" she tried to deny it but she knew her sister was true and sighed out of defeat "Is it that obvious?"
"Like, yes." Zofia answered as she quirked "And you're not the only one but that's for you to figure out…"
"What?"
Zofia ended the conversation when the transmission between Naruto and Six was put on the main channel by Grace "Here, let's listen."
"Naruto, I know you have history in this orphanage." Six began "but the government doesn't wants your safety to be put at risk-"
"Who do you expect to take the risk, Six?" Naruto interrupted her "If I escape now, these fucks will try some fucked up shit on the these people, I cannot risk them to be bargaining chips or worse…" a cocking sound could be heard, possible of a firearm.
"….Okay, it seems like I've got no other choice. Ash and Ela's team are the closest to you locations but they're caught in traffic."
"Since when did you let Ash take a lead in…anything?"
"Remember that bet we had over 'I let Ash take command of anything if a meteor hits New Mexico."
"I think I already know." Naruto smirked before his voice turned serious "Wait a moment, Six, we've got company."
"Naruto, Naruto? Come in, over. Naruto!"
BANG!
Rapid gunfire could be heard from up far as the Polish operators saw smoke coming from a district not that far away from them.
Zofia was trying to link up with Narumi but got nothing but cracking in return "Something's not right, they're jamming the district communications. I'm calling the choppe-" she turned to the driver seat and saw it was empty "Ela?"
She looked forwards and saw that Ela had taken her gear and was running through the traffic, towards the smoke.
"Ela! Shit…" Zofia linked up with the others "All units, this is Zofia," she exited the vehicle and slammed two times on the back of the truck "Ela is on foot, running for Naruto's position." Everybody got out of the truck as they followed Zofia "We're going in."
"Copy that, this is Capitão speaking. We're seeing heavy fighting going on. fighting zone is too hot for immediate landing so I suggest you go there ASAP.
"Okay," she received her weapon from Vigil before she yelled "Let's go!"
Ela was running and puffing as she saw the smoke grow bigger and wider with every step she made forwards "Hold on…"
She dodged a incoming car as she took a final turn and saw where the smoke came from, it belonged to a couple of burned out cars with bodies of White Mask members lying around it.
She ran up further and noticed the many bodies of deceased white mask members laying around, she actually had to watch her steps to avoid tripping over them. Not minding the blood she had to step on.
When she entered the orphanage building, it looked nothing like she had visited before, all the lights were either shot off or flickering while the walls were covered in bullet holes, destroyed planks and bloodstains. She looked upstairs and saw that a body of an ANBU operative laid dead in a pool of his own blood, the guy had bullet wounds in the torso and head while an ARC laid loosely in his hands while his head laid back.
"Hello?" Ela called out "Anybody here?"
Suddenly a door opened, Ela pointed her Scorpion at the door and was surprised it was Narumi who was covered in dust and blood "Narumi!"
"It's not mine!" she said while coughing "Bastard…tried…to bomb…us." She pointed at the backdoor "Naruto and Itami…out there, quick!" A loud car engine could be heard from the back, horrifying both girls as Ela ran for it.
She just kicked the door out and saw the guy named Itami laying, beaten on the ground and pointing at an SUV "They're kidnapping him!"
The SUV drove off.
"No!" Ela took aim and started firing at the vehicle, trying to stop it, but then one of the windows pulled down and gunfire from within the car was directed to Ela's position.
"Look out!" Itami pulled her down before the bullets managed to hit her. Ela quickly looked up and cursed at the sight of the vehicle being gone.
"Shit! Shit shit!" Ela started speaking through the coms as it was on again "All units, all units, hostiles took target, I repeat hostiles took target hostage. White Masks have taken Naruto hostage."
TBC!
Ah my fucking fingers, now that's a cliffhanger, what happened? What about Naruto? See next time!
PEACE!
