Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to the new chapter of Titanfall Of The Elemental Nations.
So the last place we left off was where Naruto had arrived at Mist in order to fulfill the contract he promised to Zabuza. Assist the people.
But upon arriving at the war torn village, Naruto is attacked by Mei Terumi, the rebel leader who mistook Naruto for one of Yagura's forces. Thanking him for assisting after being explained on the matter, they head to a bunker and hide the two Titans.
But during the time where Naruto was upgrading his powers and also thinking on a strategy, Mei walks in and once more apologizes to Naruto. But she offers up her body to him as a means to atone for her actions.
Naruto tells her it wasn't her fault and redresses her. He also fills her in on his plans and uses Cloak to temporalily make him invisible.
What will happen now?
Will Naruto succeed in assassinating Yagura?
Find out.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 14: War.
Still Cloaked, Naruto shot from one rooftop to the next, using his Jump kit to give him maximum range with his jumps. He had done plenty of assassinations he lost count.
Stopping on a rooftop that was close to the tower, Naruto began to reminisce in what he had done. He was no longer a sweet individual. He was a gun for hire. He traded blood for money. Sure he chose this of his own volition, but it seemed wrong. He also did this to try and find out more about the war between the IMC and the Militia.
Why were the two forces fighting one another? Why was the IMC doing this? Why must so many lives be sacrificed before someone steps in? These were a few of the questions that filled his head. He had to find the answers.
War was not a pretty sight. He knew that, but without war, peace can't be established. As well, during times of peace, people tend to attack one another. Only when things get out of hand does it become a war. He knew this. He trained for this. He mastered his abilities, he only just recently learnt how to upgrade his power. And even then it was a case of mastering them.
Shaking his head, trying to stay focused Naruto looked back to the tower. Tapping the side of his helmet, Adjutant brought up the Thermal Vision. Spotting a few guards patroling the inside while a few others was stationed outside a room with said room only having one occupant. A man sleeping soundly.
That must be Yagura. Pulling out his Hacking Knife, Naruto sprinted as fast as he could. Landing on the side of the tower, he ran as fast as he could up its face, using the Jump kit to assist his speed.
There was also a window to the room. Perfect. Landing on the sill, Naruto crouched and used the knife in his hand to open the lock on the window. Slowly and very quietly, Naruto opened the window. Jumping away and landing quietly by the bed, Naruto turned to Yagura's sleeping face.
Getting to his feet, Naruto walked over to the sleeping Kage. Poised ready to deliver the kill that will set the people free, Naruto got ready.
"See you in Hell." whispered Naruto as he fired his arm down.
Sending the knife to perform the deed. But Naruto froze in fear and shock. Yagura's hand caught his own and was holding him back. This was impossible. Naruto made sure he was silent in his actions and he even was Cloaked as well. How was it possible that Yagura could stop the knife so easily.
"You really don't get it. You can never kill me." stated Yagura getting out of bed, his hand still latched onto Naruto's own.
"How?" asked Naruto decloaking after realizing his cover was compromised. "How did you notice me?"
"You can hide yourself from the sights of people. But you can't hide your Killer Intent." was all Yagura said.
Now Naruto understood. Even though he was hidden from a person's eyes, he could never hide his intent to kill. Jinchuuriki were known to pick these traits up easily. Which also meant that Yagura was a Jinchuuriki as well.
"This is as far as you go. The Black Reaper killed by my hands. You know, that may send a message to the idiots of the Rebellion that I am not a pushover." said Yagura throwing Naruto.
It really shocked Naruto as he sailed through the air and through the brick wall of the tower. Down below to the rubble below of the village. Using his Jump kit again, he broke his fall and landed on the ground, only to roll away as Yagura slammed himself to the ground from the top of the tower.
"Of all things, the rebels had to persuade you to try and kill me. What did they do to get your help? Did they agree to giving you a mountain of money and all the women you could ask for?" taunted Yagura with Naruto pulling out his pistol.
"Die you son of a bitch." growled Naruto pulling the trigger only for Yagura to dodge it.
"Saw that coming a mile away." snorted Yagura.
Naruto stood there dumbfounded. Yagura had literally dodged a bullet. No one ever could do that. A bullet travels way too fast for someone to see and also react to the incoming threat. But Yagura did just that. Not only did he recognize the incoming threat, but acted on it. This was utterly amazing.
"Dammit, Archangel. Do you read?" asked Naruto through his comms.
"Copy Naruto." replied his metal companion.
"I could use some help here." stated Naruto firing three more bullets at Yagura only for him to dodge them.
"Archangel, moving out." said the Titan as the thunderous sounds came from the distance.
"Your friend won't help you now. I am a god. You should be on your knees, worshipping me." hissed Yagura.
"I'd rather date Satan than bow down to your sorry ass." barked back Naruto.
Soon the massive behemoth of a Titan was seen with Naruto jumping into the air and his Titan grabbing him and putting him into the cockpit.
With Naruto now in control of the Titan, Naruto raised the Splitter rifle in his hands and began firing away. Switching to the Secondary function, Naruto increased the area of effect of the shots fired.
Of course, many of the forces on both sides were alerted by the sudden thundering of the Titan and the shots of bullets and energy shots, they began to look to see what was happening. Spotting Yagura fighting Archangel, Mei realized that the plan failed and now it was no longer an assassination but rather a fight to the death. And what better time to clean up the enemy forces than right now?
Joining in the fight, the armies fought against one another with Yagura and Naruto in the centre of such deadly conflict.
Even Seilah was fighting. She was given a pistol with a Thermal Clip in it by Aishela who told her that she needed it to defend herself. Thanking her, Seilah fought alongside the rebels and ensured they were covered.
Her experience with the pistol was rather horrible but it was still pretty good for a newbie. It also scared her as a result. But Naruto was careless. He let his guard drop for a split second.
And that was a huge blunder on his end. Yagura had unleashed the beast he held within. The Three Tailed beast. The massive beast was extremely huge it was higher than the tower itself. Probably even bigger. This was going to be a problem.
The massive beast raised up and proceeded to attack Naruto. Seilah spotted this and began sprinting to Naruto. Her lover. But seeing the beast ready to swat Naruto away, she realized she'd never make it.
"NARUTO!" she roared ontop of her lungs.
But in her act of trying to save the man she loved, she awoke her inborn Biotic potential. Blue energy surged off her body and gathered into her fist. A shot of pure Biotic power was launched from her hand and barrled to the beast. But it soon stopped before it and began to spiral about. Gathering small clutter like bits of rubble and glass. Even the monster found itself being pulled to the orb of Biotic energy.
It soon tried to swat the orb of Biotic power, but to no avail. The hand just phased through as if it wasn't even there. But this didn't stop the Three Tails from attacking Naruto. Pushing the Titan against a building, the beast began to try and rip the Titan apart. If the Titan didn't have reinforced armor plating, Archangel would've been a scrap heap by now. Aishela was assisting with the cannon fodder that were swarming her so her hands were full at the moment. This was something that was turning against Naruto fast. Even with the minature blackhole made by Seilah, it wasn't enough.
The beast then latched its mouth on Archangel's eye and tried to rip it off. Potentially blinding Naruto from inside the cockpit, forcing him to eject.
But that soon changed when something clicked within the Titan along with the crosshairs changing to become more advanced than the three pointed crosshairs.
"Laser Core, Ready." stated Archangel.
"FIRE!" cried Naruto.
And on the command, Archangel's eyes gathered red hot energy from the air itself, igniting the air and turning into plasma. And just like that, a powerful beam of red hot laser energy was fired. Ripping through the Three Tails' mouth and shooting through the back of the head. SHooting higher and higher, eventually entering the sky.
Everyone present who saw the beam of ungodly energy stared in awe. The Three Tailed demon stood there motionless, unmoving as it lay ontop of Archangel. But soon there was movement. The Titan pushed the carcass off it as it got back up. A few sparking areas that needed repairs but nothing major. Everyone stood in awe at what they just saw.
A meer towering machine, destroyed a Tailed Beast. The idea seemed impossible in itself, yet Naruto proved it to be nothing more than a lie. Mei along with the rebel forces soon raised fists into the air as they cheered at their victory. It was over.
It was finally over. The reign of Yagura was at an end and a new Mizukage was to be elected. Cheers and praises showered the hero who saved Mist from becoming a dictatorship. Disembarking from his Titan, Naruto walked over to the cheering crowd. Mei leading them along with his lover, Seilah, and Aishela.
"Thank you for freeing our people." thanked Mei holding out a hand for Naruto to shake, and shake it he did after taking off his helmet.
"It was a pleasure." said Naruto.
"Thanks to your efforts. As such, we'd love to have you with us. With your power, we could create a better Mist." said Mei only for Naruto to shake his head.
"I respect the offer, but the life of a mercenary is never done." said Naruto with Mei gasping before understanding.
"I see. Then I can' wait to see you again." said Mei with Naruto nodding his head and putting his helmet back on.
And scene.
So Naruto's assassination attempt went horribly wrong but the fight he had yielded unexpected results. Seilah had awoken her inborn Biotic power along with Naruto using the Laser Core attachment for the first time.
Even proving that Tailed Beasts can be killed.
With Mist now free, Naruto heads to his next contract. Back home it seems.
Chapter 15: Home.
