Into the Ring of Fire
Disclaimers I don't own Naruto or RWBY, please support any to all personal releases.
Leaving the Ring of Fire was but only 4 drivers leaving their home from hell on either souped up buggy's to even pickup trucks, with them having a similar themed design, mainly it having a decal logo on the side of their vehicles or on the license plate stating what kind of Horsemen they all represent.
While this was going on, Naruto had finished gathering up the needed firewood for him and Yang to eat that cooked rat and was ready to head back home.
Unfortunately, this is where things start to turn for the worst for Naruto as Sasuke had spotted him about 5 minutes ago and chose to stalk him back to Yang.
"Yang, it's me" called Naruto as Yang began to raise the garage door to see her fellow blonde alive and with firewood.
"Get down" shouted Yang as she pulled Naruto in as they narrowly dodged any of the gunshots Sasuke was firing.
"I'm gonna finish you where we last left off you blonde haired bitch, and that raggedy monkey friend of yours too" threatened Sasuke as he held a handgun in his hand and continued to take blind shots.
"Shit, it's that little bastard back from the Windmill Warlords" said Yang as she began to clench her fist.
"Alright, what's the plan" asked Naruto as Yang bit down her lower lip as she thought of a plan.
"That' son of a bitch is after me, so here's what we're gonna do" said Yang as she began to gather up anything that was too old and damaged tools or car parts that was on the floor.
"I'll get his attention from here, sneak your way back into the car and grab my shotgun" said Yang, "And then what" asked Naruto as gunshots continued to be fired at them.
"Just do as I say unless you want to die as nothing more than a personal accessory to me" said Yang as Naruto scoffed before agreeing with the plan.
"Hey pretty boy, are you blind or do you simply suck at shoot" taunted Yang as she tossed a wrench over at Sasuke that fell but only a foot away from him.
"You'll see soon enough you bitch" threatened Sasuke as he still had his gun pointed out, but now he went out of his way to draw his sword from his hip and began to march his way towards the blonde duo before hearing the sounds of 4 roaring vehicles approaching them.
Turning his head to the side, Sasuke saw 4 vehicles approaching them, and during his moment of distraction, Yang had stepped out and threw an empty can that was once filled with saw dust at his head, leaving him in a daze.
"Yang, I got the shotgun" said Naruto before Yang rushed towards the car, "The hell with our plan, we got to get the hell out of here" said Yang as Naruto didn't argue as he made his way back into the passenger seat as both attempted to remove the tarp covering the car.
As Sasuke began to regain his senses he saw that the 4 vehicles he saw were already too close for comfort as he began to focus his attention on them.
"Bring it on you maggot eaters" said Sasuke as he began firing at them until his gun click, signifying it's no longer of use or service.
Tossing the firearm to the ground, he gripped his sword with both hands as he stood his ground as 2 of the vehicles drove in close enough ready to run Sasuke over, but not close enough to grind against each other.
Case in point it left Sasuke with enough room that he remained calm enough to raise his sword and waited for them to get close enough as this was a situation he's been in before.
Once the drivers got close enough, the driver on Sasuke's left began to draw out a machete from his window, ready to cut Sasuke down, however the reality was that Sasuke got to cut him down himself, as the drivers drove out of control and out his way, leaving Sasuke unharmed.
"MY ARM" cried the driver as all 4 drivers parked around and saw that one of their companions was gripping to a now bleeding stump as blood continued to squirt like a fountain.
As these 4 Horsemen drivers focused their attention on Sasuke, Yang took this as an opportunity to drive them out of dodge, leaving their pursuers to each other's company.
Once they drove far enough, Yang turned her head to Naruto and punched him in the arm.
"Ow" exclaimed Naruto, "What the hell did you do to nearly get us caught like that" Yang said angrily, "Seriously, I did nothing to garner their attention".
"I'm telling you, you pull this shit again and you better hope the worst thing I do is leave your ass in the middle of nowhere" said Yang as she did not believe a word Naruto said as he scoffed at her.
As they continued to drive, they were unaware of the trap in front of them, as Yang had drove head first into a pothole big enough to sink in the front end of the car, totally crashing and wrecking their vehicle.
As for who left the trap was none other than a man, dressed up like a cowboy that you see in every western film, from the leather chaps on jeans, spurred boots, denim vest over a blue button up, however this man wore no hat, but did had a push broom mustache.
Carrying a total of 4, 5 ringed revolvers, on his body he slowly approached the car wreckage to see that Yang had been knocked out upon the airbags doing their thing, while Naruto had crashed his way through the wind shield, but appeared to be alive and breathing, given how he was groaning.
"As the man began to wrangle up and capture Naruto and Yang, the 4 Horsemen who were dealing with Sasuke had caught up, just severly beaten, as they managed to capture Sasuke alive.
"Surprised any of you idiots decided to capture anyone else alive, granted I'd fear from being sent into the Ring of Fire if I had failed more times than I can count" said this cowboy as he cared not how much he angered these 4 Horsemen.
"Shut up, this scab here just so happens to be a lot tougher, and would make a great challenger to those who tries to claim their freedom within the Ring of Fire" said the biggest man in the group as he had 3 large Mohawks that were at least a foot tall, well most of them at least.
"I'll be sure to relay that message to our Lady and Lord" said the cowboy as he began to enter his vehicle with the captured Naruto and Yang as the 4 Horsemen began to follow the cowboy back home with Sasuke chained to them before forced to walk back.
Time Skip
Waking up, Naruto found himself strapped to a medical bed in a dimly lit room trying to move, but the leather harnesses around his body were proving to be difficult.
"Please don't try to move around, unless of course you want me to accidentally inject you in the eye instead" said Sakura as she circled around the captured Naruto.
"Who are you, and where am I" asked Naruto as Sakura stopped in her tracks to look at the captivated Naruto, "Oh my, you've gain consciousness and the ability to speak a lot faster than anticipated" said Sakura as she set down a syringe filled with unknown contents, whether they were actual medical or not.
"Tell me, exactly how are you feeling right now, and please don't say scared or confused like everyone else I've had to deal with so far, cause that's already a given emotion everyone says upon waking up in here" said Sakura as she picked up a clip board and a pen.
"Not until you tell me where the hell am I and what did you do with Yang" said Naruto as he continued to get himself free from his restraints.
Sakura did nothing but let out a sigh of frustration before placing her hands on Naruto's face and turned it to his right to see that Yang was alright for the most part, just out cold and missing her prosthetic arm.
"Your… associate is fine, she's just out cold longer than you, as for where you are, you're in a medical bay, now if you would be as so kind as to answer my questions, that would be appreciated you monkey drifter" said Sakura in frustration as she released her hold on Naruto.
"Now tell me how you're feeling physically, so that I may get on with my research" said Sakura as she picked up her belongings once more.
Naruto just stared at her for a solid minute as he still tried to get himself free, but quickly found out his efforts were in vain, before he sighed in frustration and just do whatever she said.
"My head feels… soft" said Naruto to the best of his vocabulary, "Mm hmm, anything else worth mentioning" asked Sakura, "Thirsty, hungry even".
"Noted, but what I like to know is how's your head feeling in regarding the injury you've sustained" asked Sakura, "Just soft, really" said Naruto as Sakura approached Naruto and examined his supposed head injury once more before going back to writing on her clipboard again.
"Very interesting" said Sakura as she began to finish writing whatever it was before walking her way around Naruto once more.
"Well, you've pretty much answered all my questions that needed to be answer, and I think the rightfully earns you a reward" said Sakura with a smile, as she began to pick up a big metal remote control with 4 large colorful buttons, before she began to press on them.
It was a means to adjust Naruto's semi sleeping arrangement that brought him standing up strapped to the bed still.
Setting the control down, Sakura began to pull out a large, and very old, soft drink cup that was once an inexpensive resource.
Already filled with water, Sakura had brought the cup towards Naruto's lips as he began to drink down the water happily.
"Alright, sit tight and I'll be back in a few hours, I've got to bring my notes in to my Lord and Lady" said Sakura, before exiting the room.
Once more Naruto attempted to set himself free, but he found the efforts to be pointless still before realizing he was in the same room with Yang.
"Yang, wake up, we've been captured" shouted Naruto to wake Yang up, to which she remained unresponsive.
"Yang are you still alive there" called Naruto as he had no idea what might have happened to Yang while he was out, and was starting to worry about himself as to what these people might do to him.
Meanwhile Sakura walked through these same creepy dim lit hallways once more, before she made it up stairs to see the 2 usual bodyguards in place, this time they were blocking the pink haired girls path.
"Let me through guys" said Sakura, "Nope, Lord Orochimaru and Lady Salem are busy discussing with the 4 Horsemen right now" said the scrawny man with the scorpion tattoo, almost in a joking attitude.
"I don't care, I've got some important information that Lord Orochimaru must know" said Sakura as they all heard gunshots from the other side of the door.
As all 3 of them rushed inside, they saw that one of the Horsemen, specifically the one who's hand got cut off by Sasuke, to be gripping a pistol with a still smoking barrel as he was being covered and devoured by the many snakes that normally surround Orochimaru.
"Are you alright Lord Orochimaru, Lady Salem" said the bigger body guard, "We're perfectly fine Hazel, however we're now missing a Horsemen" said Salem in a calm voice, before she realized Sakura was here.
"Oh my, your protégé is back" said Salem, "Perfect, Sakura my dear, what news have you to report" asked Orochimaru.
"Right my Lord, it seems that the blonde haired man that the Marshal had brought in was originally suffering from what was initially head trauma, however in a matter of 2 hours, his injury had already fully healed" said Sakura.
"Really now" said Orochimaru as he and Salem were interested in hearing this, "More so, when I interrogated him for any other symptoms regarding such head injuries, he claims to what I can best interpret as light, light headedness" said Sakura.
Hearing this got both Orochimaru and Salem to smile upon hearing this as both looked at each other to confirm they were in agreement.
"Does this person have a name" asked Salem, "My apologies, I've never got his name, however I shall do so next time I see him, and if I may make a request he looks like he's in desperate need of both a haircut and a shave" said Sakura.
"Very well Sakura, I shall allow you to groom our guest, while you continue to find more about him, and depending on whom this boy is, he might be the answer to a very old problem of ours" said Orochimaru.
"And who knows, if it all goes well, you might get to finally join Orochimaru in performing your first live autopsy" said Salem as Sakura was smiling wide.
"Thank you Lady Salem and Lord Orochimaru, I shall not fail you" said Sakura as she was very giddy over the prospect of being able to perform surgery on someone who's alive for once.
"Lady Salem, Lord Orochimaru, I've got news regarding the prisoner we've captured" came the voice of the Marshal.
"You may speak Watts" said Salem, "The prisoner happens to be the youngest son of Fujin Fugaku, the ruling leader to the Windmill Warlords" said the Marshal.
"Oh, is he now" said Salem as she turned her gaze over to Orochimaru to see him digging his fingers into his chair.
"What shall I do with him my lady" asked the Marshal, "Keep him alive for now, I shall send down Sakura here to tend to any injuries you've inflicted on him, and I expect you to inform the other guards that not a single hair is to be harmed on him so long as he remains down here, do I make myself clear" said Salem.
"Of course my lady" said the Marshal as their conversation through the network within the Ring of Fire came to an end.
"No worries dear, you shall have your revenge on the Fujin and his family soon enough" said Salem as Orochimaru's eyes burned with ire over anyone associated to the Windmill Warlords.
"Sakura, I want you to remain close by the prisoner for the time being my dear, and ensure that his stay here is… accommodating for the time being" said Salem.
"Right away my lady" said Sakura, "Good girl, Tyrian you're to bring with you a small envoy and relay a message to the Fujin we have his son and if he wants to see him alive, well… I leave that last part of the message to your imagination" said Salem.
"Your grace" said Tyrian as he began to leave whilst bowing to her, with Hazel coming from behind.
"You should calm down dear, with his son now in our grasp, you'll finally have your revenge on the Windmill Warlords for sure" said Salem as Orochimaru began to stand up and walked out their shadowy throne as he held a sword in his hand.
Wearing nothing but a leather hide briefs as his only current form of clothing as the snakes had continued to crawl around his very naturally pale white body as he's covered in various snake tattoos, but also scars that resulted from a sword fight gone wrong.
"No matter what, before I die in this life, I will personally destroy and take away the things that the Fujin owns and loves and drag it all down to hell with me, but more importantly I plan to kill off everyone of his bastards, especially the one called Ho-Musubi Itachi" said Orochimaru as Salem sat their smirking over the more blood thirsty and vicious side of Orochimaru.
Right so that escalated real quick, but even then the story continues on for our unlikely protagonist as he's gotta make a tough choice soon enough, so no spoilers guys, I want you all to wait for when the next chapter comes out.
Until next time guys, be safe, be good people, and please support your local fandom communities.
