Chapter 20: Event Quest

Naruto right now had just finished his training with Sakuya. He takes a bottle of water from his inventory drink up and said: "Thanks for today as well, Sakuya-san."

"No need for thanks, Naruto. I enjoy doing this. Help me stretch my limb a little bit." Said Sakuya

"But still… it seems I still have a long way to catch up with Gensokyo level huh?" Asked Naruto looks at his hand

"You are halfway there. Don't worry about it." Said Remilla

"haha… anyway, did you visit Konoha by any chance?" asked Naruto

"…What makes you ask that?" Asked Remillia

"Well… it just a new entry had been updated in the bingo book." Said Naruto brings out the bingo book and read:

"So… can you tell me?" asked Naruto

"Why am I not in that?" asked Remillia

"That's not the point, Remillia." Said Naruto sweatdrop

"I knew I should have just destroyed the building." Said Remillia eye flash red

"She's not even listening…" Said Naruto head dropdown

"I'm sorry for that, Naruto. After we heard what those humans have in plan for you, we decide to …pay them a visit." Said Sakuya

"I see… thanks for telling me. At least I know what I have to do now when they ask about you all." Said Naruto scratching the back of his head

"… I'll try to stop mistress from heading there to cause more mayhem." Said Sakuya looking at Remillia

"I'm counting on you there, Sakuya." Said Naruto as he went back home to wash himself

(Konoha)

"What did you say, Tsunade-sama?!" Asked Gai

"Like I said, Gai. I had sent your team to protect the land of River from Kurosuki family. I didn't know their opponent would be one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist." Said Tsunade

"Then… shouldn't you sent someone right now to assist them?" asked Gai slamming his hand on the table.

"Gai… you should already realize our situation. Right now, I don't even have any man to spare at all." Said Tsunade rubbing her temple at the situation

"Then let me go! I can do it!" Said Gai

"Gai… you know you can't. The client of this S rank mission requests specifically you. Please don't add yours to the stand by list." Said Tsunade sighed out.

"Stand by list?" Asked Gai

"You have no idea how many client requests for Naruto…" Said Tsunade looking at the pile

Speaking of the devil, after Tsunade had said that, Naruto appears from Gai's shadow and said:

"Yo, Baa-chan. Is there any mission for me?"

Everyone recoil back in shock and Tsunade said: "How many times have I told you, don't do that, brat!"

"What~?! Consider this is training for surprise attack~!" Said Naruto amusingly

Tsunade's vein pops up on her forehead at that. But then she remembers her conversation just now with Gai.

"Actually… you are right on time, brat. There's a situation." Said Tsunade

"Situation?" Asked Naruto raise an eyebrow

"I need you to go to the Land of River to assist team Gai to take down the Kurosuki family that terrorize there." Said Tsunade

"Why do you need me for just a bunch of thugs? Couldn't team Gai handle that easily?" Asked Naruto

"There's a high chance that the leader of the Kurosuki is one of the Swordsman of the Mist." Said Tsunade

"… for real?" Asked Naruto surprise

"Yes. If I knew beforehand, I wouldn't give this mission to them at the beginning with." Said Tsunade

A blue box then appears in front of Naruto:

Quest: Defeat the Swordsman of the Mist Raiga (Event)

The land of River had been taken by the Kurosuki led by Raiga. Defeat him and free the country from his grasp.

Reward:

1.000.000XP

Trade Event Item

'Trade Event Item? This is new…' Though Naruto as he inspects it

Trade Event Items are special items that can be used to trade items in the shop. Tradable items can be weapons, gears, potions… and so on.

'Interesting. Does that mean I can get gears without paying? This is perfect for the situation I am now.' Though Naruto as he accepted the quest.

"So brat, you accept it?" asked Tsunade

"When will I leave?" Asked Naruto

"Immediately." Said Tsunade as Naruto then sink into his shadow and disappear

"Alright then… I guess the problem solved. Shizune, bring out Gai's mission." Said Tsunade

"Eh? Wait… but Tsunade-sama, is it okay to leave it to Naruto?" Asked Gai

"Gai… the brat defeated Hoshigaki Kisame, the monster of the Hidden Mist. Do you honestly think that he can't take down someone like Raiga?" Asked Tsunade

"I-I see…" Said Gai

Back at Naruto as he races toward the land of River. He then looks around and thought

'great… sure wish I have Pop teleportation jutsu right now.'

"Even if you have, you didn't place any marker on them at all." Said Kurama

"Then how am I suppose to find the team now?" asked Naruto

DOONNN! A sound interrupted Naruto and Kurama

"Maybe you should try to use your skill to sense where the lightning strike first." Said Kurama

"I'm with you there." Said Naruto as he uses 'Negative sense'.

After a while, Naruto opens his eyes and said: "Bingo" as he sinks in the shadow

(Team Gai)

Lee, Tenten, and Neji are on their knee. Raiga was stronger than them not to mention he has the 'Kiba' sword along with mist that blocks Neji's Byakugan.

"For you kid, there won't be a funeral for you. All of you will burn!" Said Raiga as he uses 'Kiba' to launch the lightning.

The team braces themselves but then the lightning was swatted away.

"What the?" Asked Raiga confuse

"Raiga. Someone is here." Said Ranmaru

"Alright. I think that's enough don't you think?" Asked Naruto appears with 'Clarent' on his shoulder

"Naruto-kun!" Said Lee surprise

Tenten and Neji sighed in relief that their reinforcement had arrived.

"Who the hell are you?" Asked Raiga point 'Kiba' at him

"Be careful, Raiga! That person is not human." Said Ranmaru

"Not human?" Said Raiga confuse

"Oi oi… isn't that a bit rude there, little guy?" Said Naruto smirking

Ranmaru looks surprised at that

'he can see me?'

"Raiga. Be careful about him. Somehow, I can't read him at all." Said Ranmaru

"I see… don't worry. I can take care of him." Said Raiga ready his stance

"So… mind introduce me to the one behind your back?" asked Naruto

"The only thing I'll introduce you is… death!" Shout out Raiga as he using the 'Kiba' to shooting lightning at Naruto

Naruto just swatted it away with his sword. Raiga uses that opening to get close to Naruto to deliver a slash. But unfortunately, the only thing he hit was air.

"That's quite a clever move. But it's not good enough." Said Naruto behind Raiga

Raiga falls back as he looks at Naruto. Naruto just casually walks toward him twirling his sword.

"So… are you going to make a move or do I have to?" asked Naruto

"Raiga. I think we should retreat. He's not someone we can fight against." Said Ranmaru

"No, Ranmaru. There's a way to fight him." Said Raiga

"What do you mean?" Asked Ranmaru

"Oi you lot. Get over here now!" Call out Raiga as the force from the Kurosuki family appears

"If we can't fight him alone, we just have to use the number." Said Raiga as they get ready

Naruto could only chuckle at that.

"What's so funny?" asked Raiga

"Come out." Said Naruto as his 'army' come out from his own shadow

"W-what the?" One of the thugs look scared

"Now then, let's see which army is stronger. Your… or mine?" Said Naruto as his shadow soldiers charges

As the battle rage on, team Gai could only sit back and watch as Naruto's army rip through the Kurosuki family

"I have to admit, no matter how many times I see this site, I still can't get used to it." Said Tenten

"He literary a one-man army. I'm sure if he wages war with a country, he'll come out as a winner." Said Neji

"Naruto-san is my ultimate goal now. I have to work hard to have the strength of 100… no 1000." Said Lee fire up

Raiga could only look at the battle in disbelief. His lightning would be swatted away, skills and speed just a waste of time, numbers won't work against his opponent as well.

Naruto walks through the battlefield as he said: "So… is this the limit of your 'army'?"

"Heh… once I knew who you are, calling an army would be a waste of time." Said Raiga

"You know who he is, Raiga?" Asked Ranmaru

"He's the S rank that recently pops up, the Lord of Undead himself. It seems today is my funeral instead." Said Raiga

"I won't let you kill him, Raiga." Said Ranmaru

"Forget it Ranmaru. You were right all along. He is not someone we can fight." Said Raiga

Naruto walks toward Raiga then he said: "So Raiga, what are you going to do now?"

"I already know that my funeral is certain. But I won't let Ranmaru have his funeral." Said Raiga bring 'Kiba' up

"I see… so his name was Ranmaru. Care to tell me the story between you two?" Asked Naruto put away 'Clarent'

"… you willing to put away your weapon just to hear our story?" asked Raiga surprise

"It's not like you can do anything to get out of this." Said Naruto as his shadow soldiers look at Raiga eye glowing

Raiga starts to realize as well. Even if Naruto put away his weapon, his summon will kill him the moment he shows hostile and he can't risk Ranmaru at all.

"Raiga… let me tell him." Said Ranmaru

"Are you sure?" asked Raiga

"Yes."

Raiga nodded then bring Ranmaru in front of him. Naruto then said: "So you are Ranmaru."

"Yes."

"Okay then… I'm listening." Said Naruto

Ranmaru then starts to tell his story. About his disabling, his power, and the moment he met Raiga to now.

"I see… that quite the past you have there." Said Naruto

"I have told you the story. Now, We are completely at your mercy." Said Ranmaru

Naruto looks at Ranmaru as he then opens his inventory. He then took out a bottle and hand it to Ranmaru.

"Drink it." Said Naruto

"Eh?" "I said drink it." Said Naruto

"Oi… are you trying to kill Ranmaru with poison?" Asked Raiga angry

"You kidding, right? If I want to kill you then I could just ask them to do it instead." Said Naruto points at his army

"He's… right, Raiga. I don't think he needs to use this method when he already has the advantage." Said Ranmaru

"But…" "Raiga… I want to try." Said Ranmaru looks at the bottle

… "Okay."

Ranmaru then drinks the bottle. After drinking it, his body felt strange.

"R-raiga…"

"R-Ranmaru! What's wrong?" Asked Raiga

"My body…" Said Ranmaru tried to stand up and to his and Raiga surprise, he can stand by himself

"I-I can stand by myself. And I can move too." Said Ranmaru try a few steps

"Treasure the new life, Ranmaru." Said Naruto smiling

"T-Thank you!" Said Ranmaru

"This is great. Now you can truly be free!" Said Raiga

"Yeah, Raiga!" Said Ranmaru happy

"Then that's mean… my job is over." Said Raiga sadly

"Eh? What do you mean, Raiga?" asked Ranmaru confuse

"Take care of yourself, Ranmaru." Said Raiga as he pushes Ranmaru away and jumps off the cliff

"What the?" asked Naruto surprise

"Lightning! Give me the funeral!" Call out Ranmaru as from the sky, lightning strikes down at Raiga as he was vaporized

"Raiga!" Shout out Ranmaru

"He… commit suicide?" Asked Naruto surprise

"Guess after that kid can stand up by his own two feet, he now can leave the world at peace." Said Kurama

"Guess for a tyrant like him, he still has a heart after all." Said Naruto

"Still… what are we going to do about him? I mean, it's not like we can take him to Gensokyou." Said Kurama gesture to Ranmaru

"Yeah… that might not a good idea." Said Naruto as he turns to team Gai and said: "Anyone knows what to do with him?"

"I thought you already have a plan when you cure him." Said Tenten

"I thought I can let Raiga take care of him. Never thought he would jump off a cliff." Said Naruto

"Oh… then I have an idea." Said Lee

(The day later)

Naruto is now eating a plate of curry as he watches Ranmaru help the shop owner stirring the pot.

"I have to admit, I never thought you have this kind of idea." Said Naruto

"Granny once save my life. So I figure she would take him in." Said Lee

"I guess Lee can have a good idea sometimes." Said Neji

"Anyway… this curry tastes good." Said Naruto with another spoon

"I know, right? This curry is the reason why I'm still here." Said Lee asking for another plate

"Hey granny, can I have take-out for this?" Asked Naruto

"Of course. How much do you need?" asked the old lady

"How about 20?" asked Naruto

"Coming right up." Said the old lady

"Why do you need 20 for, Naruto-san?" Asked Lee

"Oh… just souvenir after all." Said Naruto smiling

(A while later)

"Here you go." Said the old lady

"Thank you, granny." Said Naruto takes the order and stores them in the 'inventory'

"Ok, let us go back." Said Neji

"Goodbye granny, I'll come back someday to have your curry again." Said Lee

"Um… I'll be waiting." Said the old lady waving at him

"Ok then. I'll go back first." Said Naruto as he uses 'Shadow Travel'

"ah… there he goes again. I want to ask him about the sword he got." Said Tenten

"I thought he uses dagger." Said Lee

"It is normal for a ninja to proficiency with two types of weapons, Lee." Said Neji

"Oh… that's right." Said Lee

"Now let us go back. I'm sure Tsunade-sama is waiting for our report." Said Neji

(Hokage Tower)

Tsunade is now doing paperwork then Naruto appeared out from her shadow and said: "Yo Granny."

Tsunade surprise at that as she said: "Stop… doing that!"

"I finished my mission. Team Gai is now returning." Said Naruto

"I see… good work. Hand the mission report over and get your reward." Said Tsunade

"Thanks…" Naruto was about to take it but Tsunade pull it back

"Do you have any plan from today on?" asked Tsunade

"Yes. I have training to do. People to meet." Said Naruto

"Is it your girlfriend?" Asked Tsunade

"Can you get to the point?" Asked Naruto

"I'm sure you know about the council meeting right?" Asked Tsunade

"Yeah… Yukari, Remillia, Sakuya, and Patchouli scared the crap out of everyone in it, right?" Said Naruto

"I was wondering if you could tell me where are they from?" Asked Tsunade

"no." Said Naruto

"… oh well. Worth a shot." Said Tsunade hand him the report

(Back to Gensokyou)

"HHOOTT!" Shout out Marisa as she ate the curry

"But it's so good!" Said Marisa as she digging back in

"I have to admit, this is good." Said Remillia

"I need to recreate this recipe when we get back." Said Sakuya

"I don't like spicy food much but this is not bad at all." Said Reimu

"Glad you all like it." Said Naruto

"Never a dull moment with you, Naruto." Said Aya writing her note

"So did you manage to get anything else back?" Asked Reimu

"What do you mean?" Asked Naruto

"You know… quest?" asked Reimu

"Oh right, I haven't turn it in yet." Said Naruto as he opens the quest

"That's weird. Why can't I equip it?" Wondered Naruto as he inspects the item
