AN: Ok. Let's see how this rewrite goes. For those of you who have not read my other story " Shibito Ashikabi : Legacy of the Mist Demon ", read up to chapter 4 to get the info on how Naruto ended up becoming the Legacy of the Mist Demon, and how he ends up in Remnant, just replace Shinto Teito with Vale. Since school has started up, my updates will be at least a couple months apart. I'm sorry.
Story start!
Chapter 1: You owe me
The broken moon of Remnant was high in the sky, the blackness devoid of clouds but, not of smoke.
Bright, hot, blue flames consumed the warehouse that had previously been full of high - purity, non-Schnee brand Dust. The fire rose high, as it happily munched on the building, the crackling loud, and very noticeable. The building's color was burned away, replaced by a burnt black, the structure visibly getting weaker as the minutes went by. The only part of the warehouse that was still strong was the steel double doors at the front entrance.
WHAM!
Unfortunately, they weren't nearly strong enough to withstand the Spartan kick delivered by the figure walking out of what was once their frame. The flame's brightness obscuring the figure's features.
" Aaaahhhh", the person breathed out in content, his voice deep, and with a natural growl in it.
"I love the smell of destruction at midnight, it's so... Calming".
The male was calmly walking out the barren parking lot of the warehouse, shaking his head. Seriously? Didn't these people know that this stuff needed to be guarded? There wasn't any online security cameras, or even any night guards! Oh well, at least it was easy, then again, he had used an E.M.P. to disable the generators. The lack of guards however, was something he couldn't explain.
CRASH!
"And there goes the roof ".
The roof had indeed collapsed when the figure was twenty five feet away. He continued walking until he reached the ten foot high, five-inch thick, titanium wall surrounding the storage facility. The wall is a good idea for regular thieves since they'd give up at the sight of it but, for experts, and airborne criminals? Nah, not even close. Of course, there were also people like him who could just jump over the damn thing.
After landing on the other side of the barrier, the thief broke out into a sprint, covering quite a lot of ground in a short time. He was practically a black blur, with hints of red, and white. His destination was three miles away from the burning warehouse, a clearing within the nearby forest. That was the chosen rendezvous point.
When he arrived at the rendezvous, there was a gray bullhead waiting for him. When he saw the logo on the side, an inhuman growl escaped from his throat. It sounded halfway between a lion, and a tiger.
"White Fang", he hissed mentally, glad that he stopped behind a tree so they couldn't see him. Mentally preparing himself to deal with the Faunus terrorist organization members, he walked out from behind the tree into the clearing, his appearance revealed by the moonlight.
Black boots that had black cargo pants tucked into them, with a single red strip going up both of the outer legs covered him from the waist down. He wore a white T - shirt that two red scorpion pincers on the front crossing each other in the middle with the arms wrapping around to the back of the shirt. Over that he had on an open black, storm-flap style trench coat, that had a white hood obscuring his eyes. Interesting, on the hood, located exactly where eyes would be on a face were two red eye - like markings set into a ferocious glare.
One could see the black gloves covering his hands that were spiked at the knuckles with white metal. The fingers ended with red, metal cone - shaped claws covering the top third of them. Covering his neck, and up a little bit past the hood was a black mask that had grin made up of gnashing teeth, and on the neck were two metal bolts.
All in all, he definitely looked like someone you didn't want to see in a dark alley.
As he was advancing towards the aircraft, it's bay doors opened, allowing three White Fang grunts to exit. The three underlings were all garbed in the same kind of armor, and all wearing the regular, upper - face concealing mask that all foot soldiers of the White Fang wore. That honestly annoyed the Dust-thief.
He couldn't see the fear in their eyes.
He had built up quite a fearsome reputation as a freelance assassin, known throughout all four continents of Remnant for his record of never failing a mission. There also the rather important detail that none of the lower, and mid - level law enforcement agencies knew anything about him. Only the highest in the governments had information on him, and it was only because HE let them know it. That piece of info was the name they were to refer to him as when they found the body of one of Atlas's highest generals with a flagpole ran through the corpse. The info was carved into his upper body.
Legacy of the Mist Demon. That, and on the general's forehead, Naruto had also gouged the symbol of a leaf with a slash through it.
" S-sir"!
Naruto turned to face the faunus that had addressed him, noticing the antlers that sprouted out from his forehead. The deer faunus couldn't see Naruto's eyes but, he could feel them staring at him, judging him, scanning for signs of fear, and undoubtedly finding plenty. The deer faunus was drenched in sweat, and when he made eye contact with the eye - like markings on Legacy's hood, he thought the weight of his pants increased a couple of pounds in the area of his rear end.
The mere presence of the assassin made the faunus's instincts run wild, demanding that he run, that he get away from the predator before it could devour him.
Naruto nodded in acknowledgement, prompting the Faunus to put aside the pleas of his instincts. The White Fang had given him, and his partnes the assignment of securing the dust.
"W-where's the Dust"!?
The grunt tried to sound unfazed but, his voice came out meek instead. Naruto started laughing, the growl in his voice making the action sound sinister. How he loved it when people tried to act like he wasn't a threat. Lowering his amusement to a low snicker, Naruto reached into his coat, pulling out a small, plain scroll.
Unfurling the small parchment, Naruto channeled a small bit of chakra into it, throwing the scroll on the ground. A large, smokey cloud appeared before quickly fading, unveiling three rectangular metal storage boxes filled with high - purity dust crystals.
The Faunus' jaws dropped. How the hell was that possible?!
"There's the Dust", Naruto told the shocked Faunus trio. He then asked question of his own.
"Now, where's my lien"?
"..."
"Perhaps, you shits didn't hear me", Naruto growled at the now terrified Faunus, lifting up his hand. He held it chest level, the middle finger folded down, the thumb over it.
CRAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKK
"Where the fuck is my payment"? The question was said in a calm tone laced, and dripping with rather... Painful intentions should the answer prove unsatisfactory.
The deer faunus somehow found his voice, and began to explain. Praying that the Mist Demon's legacy wouldn't maul him.
"C-Cinder Fall wanted to give you the payment personally sir", began the grunt shakily at first.
"She also wants to offer you a permanent position".
An annoyed groan escaped Naruto's masked lips. Again! She's trying this again!
"Why won't that damn woman take no for an answer!?", Naruto yelled in his mind. He had first met Cinder Fall two years ago, a couple months after he first started his career as a freelance mercenary/assassin. Cinder had actually sought Naruto out after he was recommended to her by a couple of very successful crime lords that had previously employed the shinobi - turned - mercenary.
Sighing audibly, Naruto sealed away the dust, cutting off the protests of the White Fang grunts in the process with a single sentence.
" I get my lien, you can have the dust".
Without waiting for a reply, Zabuza's legacy boarded the Bullhead, leaning against the back of the cargo bay where he could see everything, and there was no possibility of getting behind him. Once the faunus got on, they immediately took off, their destination being Cinder's main base of operations. Naruto hoped this would be over soon, Cinder may have been his most loyal customer but, she most certainly wasn't his master. He looked down, and held up his clawed gloves with the palms facing upwards.
The gray, stylized snowflake was barely visible against the gloves blackness.
Chapter finished!
