Breaking Fate's Curse
Rebel 14: Ink stained liar
Written by Jlargent
Me: Now is the event you've all been waiting for: the second Sasuke retrieval arc! Now typical disclaimers apply I do not own Naruto or Blazblue in any shape or form. And I apologize about making a mistake on the poll I didn't realize it until after I posted the last chapter. Anyway the results is with 23 people wanting the pairing to remain Naruto/Hinata/Noel and 17 for Naruto/Makoto/Noel. I will comply with the wishes of the fans and make it into a Naruto/Hinata/Noel fic.
Noel's POV
Today is the day we head out to the Tenchu Bridge and since Kakashi was in the hospital due to charka exhaustion the Hokage assigned a former ANBU member names Yamato to fill in for him while he is recovering along with Sai I don't know much about him except that he's a rude jerk that doesn't know the meaning of the word 'tact'.
Flashback
"Good morning, as you are well aware Kakashi is recovering from your previous mission. So the Hokage assigned me to fill in for him, my name is Yamato and this young man next to me is Sai who is assigned to us on the councils orders." Yamato spoke as he pointed to a pale skinned boy around Naruto's age with ink black hair wearing a standard shinobi pants a cutoff shirt and a jacket missing the left sleeve and on his back was a tanto.
Sai gives a smile that looked disturbingly fake as he extends his hand out "It's very nice to be on this team."
Naruto hesitated but grabs his hand, Sai commented "Such a weak handshake. Are you sure you're a male?" he asks throwing us completely off guard.
End flashback
Since then Sai has continuously insult us and covering it up with a fake smile only to be punched in the face by Makoto with authority sending him into the ground each time in the traditional ostrich position (A/N: By that I mean Sai's head sticking into the ground and his body arched.) and me shooting at his feet to make him dance to the point of exhaustion eventually gets old especially if the victim keeps calling you an ironing board and compared you to a piece of lumber.
Sadly Yamato prevents us from actually killing him for peace of mind and after threatening to lock us up in a wooden cage in conjunction with his 'face' (A/N: Yamato's scary face whenever he threatens the team.) after yet another beat down on Sai we head towards a nearby hot spring resort in order to prepare for the next leg of our journey. As Makoto and I soak in the hot water letting the tensions of that day I think about Naruto, when I first met him he seemed to have a heavy burden on his shoulders but after learning the truth about his past I could not help but wish I was here sooner in order to spare him from the pain.
"So Noel how are things for you since you've arrived here?" Makoto asks me while sighing in contentment.
"Well for the most part is isn't too bad aside from that pink haired harlot Sakura trying to make Naruto's and my life a living hell." I said thinking about Makoto's little bout with said harlot.
"From what I've gathered she used to be on Naruto's old team right?" Makoto speaks up as she grabs a nearby wash towel.
"Yes she was. But she is also the biggest Sasuke fan girl there is. After his defection his fan club disbanded save for Sakura and a few diehard members refusing to believe that he turned traitor willingly." I explained as I look at the sky.
"Then if the spy we're supposed to meet knows where Sasuke then it could be a trap for us." Makoto pointed out.
"True, I've read Naruto's mission reports and his missions escalates based on the threat at the worst possible moment. His first C-Ranked mission became a high B-Rank to low A-Rank because the client lied about the parameters of the mission." I said as I mentally recounted the details of the reports.
"So the odds of a simple snatch and grab will quickly go strait to hell are going to be high huh?" Makoto asked with a deadpanned expression on her face.
"Considering Naruto's luck…Yes." I said as Makoto started sobbing about the unfairness of it all.
A few days later…
The four of us watch as Yamato/Sasori crawls towards to the center of the bridge unfortunately due to the sounds of the wind we cannot hear anything even with Makoto's enhanced hearing on hand but we tense ourselves for the possibility of something going wrong. Naruto lets out a gasp as the hooded figure revealed itself to be Kabuto Yakushi a known traitor to Konoha after the failed invasion three years ago and Orochimaru's right hand man. (A/N: More like hand job.)
All of a sudden Yamato shoves Kabuto out of the way to intercept a kunai slash from the snake Sannin himself and Yamato gives us the signal to be prepared to fight the immortal obsessed madman. His eyes are cold and calculating like a viper waiting for its prey just waiting for a chance to kill you. I mentally shudder as though I have seen those eyes somewhere else but could not recall when or where.
Kabuto adjusts his glasses and looks at Makoto "An interesting specimen my lord. Is she one of yours?" he asks as Orochimaru takes an inquisitive look on his face as he examines Makoto.
After a moment Orochimaru spoke and the coldness in his voice was like having a bucket of ice cold water poured on me "No, I can assure you that she isn't one of my experiments. Perhaps she has some form of bloodline mutation. Tell me child are there others like you? I would be very interested if there were others like you, this opens a new avenue of experimentation." his eyes alit with a insane light of madness as I knew that he would do everything in his power to torture and experiment on Makoto.
Naruto growled as he stepped forward "Where is he?" as the whisker marks on his face became darker and more defined and his blue eyes turn darker.
Orochimaru turned his attention to Naruto smirking "Well if it isn't the Kyuubi vessel. I wonder who is stronger you or your precious Sasuke?" and those words seemed to be the trigger that Naruto needed to unleash the Kyuubi's power. The shockwave from the power shakes the bridge as Naruto was covered in red charka, it was vulpine in form but it has two tails. And the killing intent coming from Naruto is powerful, I don't think even the Black Beast could compare to this. (A/N: Remember Noel was born after the Black Beast died so she has no idea how powerful it is.)
And thus began a one sided battle between both Naruto and Orochimaru that eventually destroys the bridge that we were standing on. Fortunately Yamato ordered us to evacuate the bridge before Naruto's third tail emerged the killing intent from before skyrocketed higher and I could practically relive that moment where I almost died in the cauldron.
To be continued …
Me: Well chapter 14 is in the books. Next time: Kyuubi Unleashed! This chapter will cover the Loudmouth Ninja himself (No not Naruto) Bang Shishigami
Bang Shishigami
Character voice: Tsuyoshi Koyama (JP), Tony Oliver (ENG)
After losing his home in the Ikaruga Civil War and his master Tenjo at the hands of Jin Kisaragi, Bang and his followers began living in Kagutsuchi waiting for the right moment to strike back at Jin and the NOL. There, he declares himself a hero of love and justice and dedicates himself to exterminating evil and overturning injustice wherever he goes. He is quite over-exuberant, prone to speeches and tangents as well as making dramatic entrances. He has a romantic fascination with Litchi, always willing to go charging in headlong if he sees someone making her upset. He is overzealous in every way, subtlety not usually at the forefront of his mind (this is only reinforced where his Astral Heat in Continuum Shift destroys almost all of his clothes), however his fiery spirit and will have earned him the respect of a few characters, most notably Hakumen. He also wants Ragna's bounty to rebuild the glory of Ikaruga. Bang possess a Nox Nyctores called "Phoenix: Rettenjou", but is unaware he has them nor it's powers. In the home console version, when he uses his Fuu Rin Ka Zan move, its own theme song, "Omae no Tetsui ni Kugi wo Ute", sung by Hironobu Kageyama, will start playing. This song, along with his choice of clothing, movement and mannerisms, is derived as a parody of the tokusatsu hero concept, more specifically Kamen rider.
Bang's Drive, Burning Heart, attacks and defends simultaneously.
As always Hoody hoo!
