Chapter 25
NEXT DAY
Naruto is currently on top of a building watching the sun rise as he heard foot steps just as Eto sat next to him as she's wearing her disguise.
"What was it you wanted to talk about?", Eto asked Naruto who continues to watch the sun rise.
"Your dad...", When he said that, she immediately stops talking as Naruto looks at the sun rise... Eto just stood up not saying a word as Naruto just closed his eyes.
"He never once stopped thinking about you... You had to leave you in order to protect you and that's why he can never forgive himself...", when Naruto said that, Eto stops mid-step.
"Its none of my business to say anything but... Your mom changed him, he's the man he is now because of her. Eto...", As Naruto says that he stood up turning to her.
"No matter his dirty the world may become, never try to hate the one who always wanted to protect you. He's done everything in order to protect you...", As he finished, Eto hands turn into shaking fists as she starts walking away until Naruto said something that stopped her in her tracks.
"Are you just gonna abandon him when he needs you? Like he abandoned you when you needed him the most?", After saying that her eyes widen all the way as Naruto throws an envelop at her which she turns catching it and looks at it confused as Naruto stands up on the edge.
"Eto... Its all up to you wether you forgive him or not for what he's done, he's suffered for the last 24 years of his life...", With those words his wings appear as he took off at top speed while Eto just opens the envelop and freezes as she immediately rips off the bandages staring at what he gave her with complete and utter shock causing her to fall to her knees as tears start hitting the paper showing a young Yoshimura as well as his wife, both holding a smiling baby Eto.
"... Dad...", Was all Eto said as she grips the picture.
INSIDE THE FIRST WARD WHERE ARIMA, ZANE, AND AKASHI ARE
"So you too...", Zane asked as he and Akashi were inside Arima's house which he just nods.
"Yeah... I thought and thought yet... I have nothing to say or give...", when Arima said that the two look at each other as they also show there's are blanks.
"We began together... We'll die together", Zane said as Akashi gives a laugh.
"That promise we made each other huh... Guess I'll just watch your back then...", when Akashi said that, Armia shows a smile.
"Seems that ghoul knocked some sense into you...", when he said that, he just shrugs.
"Who knows but... I look forward to seeing what will happen...", when Akashi said that, the two look at each other and smile as the three walk towards the door.
"I think... This will be out final mission... In order to stop what happened that time... So there actually using a human as bait for Angel?", when Akashi asked that, Zane has a confused look on his face.
"What bait?", Zane asked unknowing about this as Arima turns to him.
"A kid that works part time at the CCG. It was reported he was very close friends with Angel in the past...", when Arima said that, Zane's eyes widen all the way hearing that.
FEW HOURS LATER AT A CAFE
Shinohara was sitting at a table by himself in a cafe as its noon. Shinohara is staring at the empty seat in front of him with a sundae untouched as he just looks down at a single piece of paper which had "Too Juuzou"...
(Can we go again, can we?! The cafe sells tasty sweets!)
Shinohara then smiles as he grits his teeth while tears begin falling from his eyes and into the paper.
"Juuzou...", was all Shinohara said as he just stares at the paper until his eyes widen as he looks up seeing a smiling Juuzou wearing a hoodie while behind him was Nashiro and Kurona also wearing hoods.
"Hey... I'm sorry but... I won't be coming back to the CCG..." when he said that, Shinohara's eyes widen even more as Juuzou just stands up from his seat as he behind walking towards the door.
"WAIT!" When Shinohara yelled, Juuzou stops as he gives a laugh confusing him as Juuzou turns to Shinohara smiling while everyone just watches the scene confused.
"Sorry, but I can't stay. You were always there for me, and I thank you for that... You were like a dad to me and I'll never forget that...", when Juuzou said that he begins walking towards the door.
"J-", Shinohara stops as he looks at the table seeing a piece of paper as he licks it up and opens it.
(Too Mr. Shinohara/Dad)
"If I were to die then promise he you'll look after Kurona and Nashiro for me. After all I love them, as well as I trust you more then anyone"
When Shinohara looks up, they were already gone... Shinohara just smiles as he chuckles.
"Guess you did have people you considered precious... Juuzou...", Was all Shinohara said as he places money on the table as he leaves.
NIGHT TIME
"Its already night...", Naruto said as he stops meeting Kaneki who just standing in the middle of the crowd. Something then catches Naruto's eye as he looks at the big screen and freezes completely as Kaneki stops and follows Naruto's gaze as he too was shocked... There eyes widen completely at seeing this.
[The CCG Head Office is cordoning off the 20th Ward as a special...]
[...targeting a certain coffee shop...]
[...moving in today...]
[A large scale police cordon has been raised over the 20th Ward, and movement in or out is currently off limits. CCG has announced that the civilian evacuation is complete, and is considering moving in today, as the tense situation continues.]
"KANEKI! WE'RE LEAVING!", With that, he grabs Kaneki as he wings burst from him scaring and shocking everyone as he suddenly takes off.
WHERE AYATO AND ARATA ARE
The two were looking at the tv with shock as they were inside there old apartment.
"Dad... Touka...", as Ayato said that, he just sighs.
"Arata, she's away from the 20th ward... I would ask you to leave but isn't an option...", after saying that Arata puts on a serious expression.
"We're leaving for the 20th ward now...", after Arata said that, Ayato nods and puts on his mask while Arata cracks his neck.
WHERE JUUZOU IS
He's currently staring at the tv with shock as it turns serious.
"Those idiots are attacking the wrong people, if what you two said was true then this is all a set up just for Naruto...", Juuzou said that they nod causing him to grit his teeth as he puts on his white CCG black oops uniform.
"You two, I'll be back so stay here..." After saying that the two girls try to say something but were stopped by Juuzou looking at them seriously.
"Ok... Just-", Nashiro was cut off as Juuzou presses his two fingers against her forehead stopping her as he smiles calmly.
"I'll me back in the morning so don't worry...", After saying that the two nod as Juuzou starts walking towards the doorway as Jason starts enveloping his body and his right eye changes into the Kakugan.
"I have to stop this now, before its too late..." Juuzou thought to himself as he runs out the door.
WHERE TATARA IS
Tatara is staring at a coffin while behind him was Noro pointing at the tv showing the news.
"Are you sure that is his wish...?", Was the first thing Noro said in a deep voice as Tatara nods which his eyes closed and his right hand makes a fist.
"The kings final wish... We must allow this to happen in order to fulfill his wish...", when Tatara said that, Noro's right hand turns into a fist.
"I've been acting like a good dog for so long but... I can't except this even of it was the wish of our old king... Do you realize what will happen to Naruto as the plan takes affect?! There's only a select few he cares about, only one of there deaths can summon forth "him" SO TELL ME WHY YOU WOULD ALLOW YOU OWN GRANDSON TO EXPERIENCE SO MUCH PAIN?!", as Noro yelled that, Tatara just places a hand on the coffin.
"Because, the only way to end this war is for our kings plan to succeed... Naruto must awaken and decide what he must do... Whether it is to Kill all ghouls, destroy CCG, or make divine move...", after saying that, he turns to Noro with complete faith in Naruto.
"I do not care, one of the ones he cares about just die in order for the plan to succeed... Either, Touka, Kaneki, Akira, Eto, or Hide... One of them must die...", after saying that, Noro just looks away.
WHERE YOSHITOKI IS
He's currently standing on a truck like car that's armored as its the command center with CCG investigators guarding him like a blockade.
"4th Division and above, lock down the other quarters. Don't let a single one of them slip out of our net", after Yoshitoki said that, he received "Copy that" from his com in his ear which his eyes widen a little seeing smile ahead of them as a lone figure stood in the middle of the street.
"And there he is...", when Yoshitoki thought that, the figure turned showing his face to be Yoshimura as his Kagune was activated startling all of them as they get ready.
"What your doing, will only cause pain to both sides. More hate will be born because of you people... If it means protecting my daughter, Naruto, Anteiku, and everyone else...", as Yoshimura said it, his Kakuja activates enveloping him from inside the cloak.
"I'll bloody my hands as much as need be in order to protect the ones I care for. Now, come and kill me... If you can that is?", with those words, Yoshitoki's eyes narrowed.
WHERE TOUKA WAS
She shuts Hinami's door as age begins walking towards the door passing the tv that's turned onto the news, when she opened the door, she was met with Yomo staring directly at her.
"Where are you going?", when he asked that, she just looks down saying "Anteiku" quietly...
"Its over...", When Yomo said those two words, her eyes widen completely.
TOKYO GHOUL OST MOVING ON (GUITAR ONLY)
"Over? We're just...going to let them die?", when Touka said that, here hands turn into fists with anger.
"We always said we help each other out at Anteiku! What will become of the manager? What will become of Mr. Koma and Miss Irimi?!", when she said it louder, Yomo just stares at her as they narrowed a little while he's looking down.
"They...we're always looking to find common ground somewhere. We've all been trying to find a way to repay Naruto for saving our lives, in order to do that they will do anything to repent for there sins... By running into Mr. Yoshimura, they came to realize the meaning of all that they had done. Nonetheless, no matter how much of a change of heart they had, their sins remained. And so, they required punishment...", after he said that to Touka, all she said after was "Punishment?"...
"This fight is also their punishment, punishment for not only killing innocent lives but also causing Naruto to turn into his Kakuja form in order to protect us... Both of them, and those with them who were there that day...", as Yomo finished, Touka started speaking.
"Then, what about me? What about me? I've killed, too! I'VE KILLED LOTS OF PEOPLE BOTH BECAUSE I HAD TO EAT, AND SIMPLY BECAUSE I WAS PISSED OFF!", after yelling that, she looks down with her eyes closed.
"I... I want to be there for him, I love him... I can't bare to see him in pain. Knowing Naruto and Kaneki, they'll rush into battle...along with Ayato and dad... YOU EXPECT ME TO DO NOTHING?!", when she finished, Yomo just closed his eyes as Touka passes him.
"Naruto... I'm sorry but this is her choice and hers alone... I still couldn't pay you back on that day so there's only one thing I can possibly do to repay you for the life, for the lives you've protected... Unknown to you, we've always been there to protect you... We protect Anteiku since that is your home... You are both powerful and kind, that is what a true king must be... This, will be my final mission...", with those thoughts in mind, Yomo has only has one more thing he has to do which will repay Naruto back.
WHERE NARUTO AHE KANEKI ARE
The two were standing on a building as Kaneki grips his mask while Naruto has none since it was broken in there fight with Akashi, Kaneki opens his eyes while Naruto just stares at the flames.
"This never ending battle between ghouls and Humans has to stop... Or else it will just create more hate... Kaneki, wear the mask since they don't know your face...", As he said that, Kaneki looks at Naruto...
"Naruto...-", Kaneki was cut off by Naruto turning to him with a smile of calm and peaceful.
"Ya know, Kaneki... After this, lets me and you have a drink..." When he said that, Kaneki's eyes widen as a while appears on his face as the two look at the battlefield.
"Touka... Please stay away...", Naruto thought to himself thinking about her.
WHERE YOSHIMURA IS
Yoshimura is currently walking slowly towards the CCG troops.
"I will protect my family, no matter what I must do...", Yoshimura said to them as he unleashes a barrage of crystals killing them, one after the other as there all sent flying.
"My daughter... I entrust her to you Naruto...", Yoshimura thought to himself as his right eye glows brightly while a soldier was scared out of his mind.
"This is what SSS-rated means? How are we...supposed to...", verdure he could finish, two slashes appear on his body as that heal quickly which, Shinohara and Iwao were standing in front of him armored with Arata's Kakaju.
"Its a shame... I wide you could have served Iwa done of your delicious coffee, too", when Shinohara said those words, Yoshimura just smiles sadly.
"I would have liked that very much...", was all Yoshimura said to them.
WHERE ETO IS
Eto is currently sitting on the same building as she's just staring at the picture she closed her eyes.
"Dad...", Eto thought as she opens her eyes staring at the direction of the city while standing up.
