Chapter 19: Ghost and Ninjas

Radio Town

'I understand.' Tsunade nodded after hearing the explanation from Noire.

'We have also realised our mistakes for arresting Miss Kurisu and Miss Mayuri.' Tsunade said somberly.

'No no! I must also apologise for my friends and myself for attacking one of your villagers!' Noire panickly said. Said villagers was currently talking to his Sensei.

Kurisu and Mayuri are currently taking care of the still unconscious Vert and Uni. Tsunade and Noire was in a rather secluded shop in the town, that is another radio shop since Radio Town.

Noire suddenly had an amazing idea(according to her).

'Hey, Lady Tsunade.' Noire started.

'Please, just Tsunade is fine. From what you said, you are the leader of your nation, no?' Tsunade interrupted.

'Then you can call me Noire. Anyway, what I'd like to ask is, would you want to join me and friends to build an allied force?'

'An allied force?' Tsunade asked.

'Yep. We can exchange information and work together. My side have some...rather enticing information, if I would say.' Noire explained.

'Hmm...it...would be beneficial for us…' Tsunade began mulling over it.

Noire was silently laughing. She knew that Tsunade would agree to it. That is because all CPUs are required to learn negotiation skills...okay..maybe not all when that doofus Neptune is included.

'Alright.' Tsunade finally said after a few minutes.

Television Town

Meanwhile, a group was currently prowling the streets of Television Town. It is a town that...you know...I'm pretty sure anyone and their dogs can guess what this town mainly sells.

I'm giving you five seconds to guess.

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

Yep. The town sells televisions.

The group consists of four individuals. They are Kakashi, Naruto, a boy with black spiky hair that is tied into a ponytail, and a boy wearing shades with half his face covered by his collar. He has spiky black hair.

'Shino.' Kakashi said.

'Nothing so far.' Shino replied. Shino has been using his insects to check for enemies, traps, and the like.

'We should probably rest.' The other person said.

'We can't, Shikamaru! We have to cover as much ground as possible so that we understand the situation we're in and prevent anyone else from dying dattebayo!' Naruto argued.

'You think I don't know that? But not all of us have monstrous stamina like you do.' Shikamaru rebutted. Kakashi nodded and ordered for them to take a break.

Kakashi open his book and began reading it. Shikamaru and Shino sat down on the floor. Finally, Naruto punched the air a few times, kicked the air a few times, and practised his jutsus.

'You're gonna burn out if you keep going like this.' Shikamaru told Naruto. Naruto didn't listen as he began creating Shadow Clones to further his practising speed.

Suddenly, Shino perked up.

'My insects have located someone. It seems to be a ten year old child.'

'It may be a trap.' Shikamaru said. Kakashi nodded but before he could give out any orders, Naruto was already on his way.

Half a minute later, Naruto saw the child. He was fiddling with a watch.

'Hey! Who're you?' Naruto landed in front of the child.

'Huh? Who are you?' He asked back.

'No! Who are you!' Naruto shouted back at him.

'What the heck!' The boy had an annoyed look.

'You wanna go?! Huh?!' He yelled at Naruto.

Naruto began growling as he drew his kunai from his pouch.

'Oh yeah you do! It's hero time!' The boy clicked on his watch before slamming down on it. A flash of green light engulfed him.

When the light subsided, a grey ghost appeared. It possessed a single purple eye, and black streaks appeared all over it's body. It had two hands and a tail. On it's chest under the grey skin was a white hourglass symbol.

'Ghostfreak!' The ghost said in a ghastly voice.

'Wha-' Naruto gasped. He then quickly regained his bearings.

'Snake, Ram, Boar, Horse, Bird!' Naruto muttered in an attempt to remind himself of the required hand seals as he had only recently learned it from Kakashi. He then clapped his hands together.

'Wind Release: Gale Palm!' He compressed wind in between his palms and turned it into a powerful gale. He then threw his kunai at Ghostfreak.

However, the kunai merely phased through Ghostfreak.

'Idiot. You think a knife can hit a ghost?' Ghostfreak mocked.

'Naruto!' Kakashi called out as he landed beside Naruto, followed by Shikamaru and Shino.

'The kid turned into a ghost dattebayo!'

'What!' Kakashi turned to look at Ghostfreak. Ghostfreak laughed as he slowly flew towards them.

'Stand back. Unless you want to be taken down that is.' Shikamaru warned.

'Heh! None of you can touch a ghost.' Kakashi's narrowed his eyes.

'Tsk!' He clicked his tongue as he performed a series of hand seals.

'Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!' Kakashi spat out a huge volume of earth, creating a defensive wall.

'You think that'll stop me?' Ghostfreak laughed as he phased through the wall. Right after that, two Kakashi from either side kicked him, but he simply turned intangible.

Suddenly, Ghostfreak couldn't move.

'What…'

'Genjutsu: Sharingan.' Kakashi looked straight into Ghostfreak's eye with his now exposed left eye.

'I can't touch you, but I can see you. Now!' Naruto jumped towards Ghostfreak on Kakashi's command with a Rasengan ready.

'RASENGAN!' He struck Ghostfreak in the chest. Ghostfreak's chest began swirling and twisting as he was sent towards a wall with incredible force.

After that, Kakashi quickly covered up his left eye. Suddenly, a flash of green light appeared once again.

'He's not down yet?!' Naruto complained. Shino suddenly got in front of them and ordered his insects to create a dome.

'What's-' Naruto didn't finish his question as a huge sonic scream erupted from the wall and struck the dome head-on.

The attack knocked Shino out cold.

'Shino!' Naruto began creating Shadow Clones.

'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' Five clones appeared as they each held a kunai and ran towards the enemy.

'Echo Echo, finish them!' A robotic voice said. Five small humanoid silicon beings ran out and screamed. This allowed Echo Echo to take out all of Naruto's clones rather easily.

'Shikamaru! Take Shino and get to safety!' Kakashi ordered.

'Okay!' Shikamaru quickly ddi as he was told.

'Nuh-uh!' One of the Echo Echo tried taking out Shikamaru but was met with a swift kick from Kakashi.

Kakashi began performing a new set of hand seals.

'Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!' A huge orb of fire came out of Kakashi's mouth. It headed towards the original Echo Echo.

'Contain it! Contain it!' Echo Echo yelled as a group of them used their sonic screams to try to either contain it or extinguish it.

However, this gave Naruto a chance as he appeared behind the original after beating up his set of Echo Echoes and used another Rasengan.

This time, Echo Echo was definitely knocked out. Furthermore, he reverted back to Ben at that moment.

'Let's bring him back to base.' Shikamaru suggested. Kakashi nodded before looking over at Naruto.

'We need to talk.' Naruto looked away.

'Fine dattebayo!'

A certain city in the sky

Blake was currently staring at Rain. Rain was currently looking down as he was kneeling.

Blake raised her right hand, which held a magazine. On the cover of the magazine was the picture of a grown woman in…let's say...a very suggestive outfit.

'Why are you reading this at work?' Blake asked. For context, Blake has been living with Rain for a week. Blake felt bad for leeching off of Rain so she decided to work as his assistant.

'Uh...cause there's no customers?' Blake had a visible tick mark.

'AND THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WON'T FREAKING STOP YOUR LONG-ASS INTRODUCTION!' Blake also may have gotten slightly fed up with Rain for his devil-may-care attitude. Well, I say slightly…but even an ant knows that it's more than that.

'Well! That's because watashi have a friend who believes in the advocation of long introductions! She says it's a super, ultra, mega, important-'

'No! I won't stand for somemore bullshit coming from you!' Blake angrily interrupted. Rain seemed sad until a lightbulb appeared over his head.

'Oh...you're so angry because you like me huh?' Blake kicked Rain in the balls.

'No. It's cause if you lose your shop, I lose my lodgings. When you said you'll take me in, I actually thought you had a damned house.' Blake coldly responded.

Rain's body began bending in all kinds of reality-warping ways.

'Ah...smile~, sweet~, sister~, sadistic~, surprise~, service~' Blake simply walked out of the store, incredibly irritated at Rain's behaviour.

Though she had to admit, she was worried about being apart from all her friends. She didn't know what she could do and she also felt bad imposing in the kind-hearted girl who found her.

At least with Rain, she was like his nanny so she didn't feel as bad. And she did have some fun times.

Fun time 1

A young girl, seemingly in her early-twenties, walked into the store.

'How may I help you?' Blake asked in a polite tone.

'I-I-I need help in-in e-exorcising a ghost!' She stuttered.

'Now now, don't be scared.' Blake patted her on the back and led her to the green mat on the floor.

'Get out here!' Blake yelled, startling the girl.

Rain walked in from behind the purple curtains and when the girl saw him, her face went pale.

'Ah! The ghost!' Rain's face was beaten up and filled with pasta sauce.

'What…' Blake was speechless.

'Oh...I ate at the Italian restaurant at the end of the street but I didn't have money. The bodyguard smacked me into someone's room.' He explained. He then raised his right hand.

'And I kinda took her wallet. Man, it's loaded with so many thousand dollar bills!'

'It's the money stealing ghost!' The girl pointed at Rain. Meanwhile, Blake's eyes were hungry, like a predator. She had a creepy smile plastered on.

'Uh...uh...senpai?' Rain asked. And you can guess how that went.

Fun time 2

Blake didn't know why she agreed to this. She was currently wearing a dark green robe.

Rain was also wearing a dark green robe. He held a metal handle with a plastic laser sword that had some kind of thing called a LED(?).

'Oh young padawan…' Rain said some dramatic things before handing a second one of those lightsabers(?) to her.

'Why am I doing this again?' Blake asked.

'It's cosplay...I think...anyway! We hafta keep up with the trend to keep our all-purpose demon killing shop going!'

'Okay. First of all, weren't we a fortune-telling shop? Secondly, demons don't exist and even if they do, you and I certainly don't have anything to kill demons with. Thirdly, why the hell is cosplay needed to make things work out?' Blake ranted.

'I-' Rain was interrupted by the sound of a broken door.

'Hey you piece of shit! Why the hell did you steal the robes meant for the deceased? We were going to burn them!' The first burly man said.

'You stole the two lightsabers on display by breaking the damned display window! Burly man 2 said.

Rain looked shocked.

'How did you know it was me! I mean, I have my golden wig and shades on right now!'

'EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE GOLDEN SCAMMER AND THE PLAIN DEGENERATE IS YOU! WE JUST PLAY ALONG!' The two burly man and Blake yelled out simultaneously.

Fun time 3

'Blake! Look! I got a dog!' Said dog was a golden retriever. Nuff said.

Blake immediately drew back at the sight of it.

'Why did you get a dog?' Blake asked while sweating bullets.

'Oh just look at this thing! It's so cute! Ahhh!!! It makes me wish my future wife is a dog!' Blake deadpanned.

'Oh but Blake, you will always be my first wife! Cats are the best! Flat is justice!' Blake deadpanned once more. She's officially done with his bullshit. And she had only been working for him for the fourth day.

'By the way, would you happen to know where all the money in the money box went?' Rain turned to look at her.

'Which money box?'

'We only have one.'

'Yeah...but I got a coffee box, a tea box, a cookie box, a toy box, a sperm box-'

'What the actual fuck.' Yes, Blake finally cursed at Rain's bullshit.

'Oh...anyway! What colour is that 'money box'?

'Red.'

'Oh! That one. I thought it was a 'free to grab' box and I just used the money to buy Emperus the Ultimatum.'

'Who is 'Emperus the Ultimatum'?'

'The golden retriever.'

'Oh...so you spent all our rent money, food money, living expenses, and whatnot to buy that stupid dog with the stupid name huh?'

'Uh...Blake? Calm down…' Right in front of Rain was the epitome of death.

Present

Blake rubbed her temples. It wasn't fun times at all, was it? Furthermore, all this happened in only two days, and she's been here for a week. Do some simple math man.

But still, she did enjoy not having to worry about Grimm and enemies constantly trying to kill her and just experiencing some normal problem-not normal problems.

AN: From now on, whenever I feel the chapter is a bit too short, I will add in the BlakeRain segments.
