It was easy for Naruto's clones to rescue all of the Black Knights, allowing him to locate the psychos that were responsible for this entire mess in the first place. The complex turned out to be more than just a research facility. There was a hanger that stored Knightmares at the bottom floor with a secret tunnel leading towards the Viceroy Palace. This was likely built in secret; the Viceroys probably had no idea about this facility.
Well it wouldn't matter because Naruto was planning on destroying this place when he was done anyways.
With a simple punch the doors to the hangar bay were knocked down. "Take that Baa-chan!"
Back in the Shinobi world Tsunade suddenly felt angry and she knew why she felt angry. "That little bastard! Wherever he is I hope someone bashes him on the head!"
Looking around Naruto saw Sutherlands and Gloucesters all lined up with their weapons pointed at him. "Geez guys, is that any way to say welcome?"
The answer came in the form of a clapping as a boy around Naruto's age with brown hair came out from behind the Knightmares. "Welcome, Naruto Uzumaki."
"So, you know me." Naruto scowled.
"Along with the traitor Lelouch vi Britannia, his little sister Nunnally vi Britannia who live at Ashford Academy under the aliases Lelouch and Nunnally Lamperouge. You also harbor the Code Bearer C.C." The boy stated.
Naruto's hidden Rinnegan saw the red light in the boy's right eye. "And you're a member of the Geass Directorate. If I had to guess… Rolo."
Rolo raised an eyebrow. "So C.C. told you about me. This was unexpected. It was believed she would not reveal anything."
"Yeah she can be stubborn." Naruto smirked. "But I broke her down."
C.C. sneezed which annoyed her because she was enjoying a fine slice of pizza. "Naruto…"
She knew he had something to do with her sneezing on her pizza and she vowed she'd make him pay dearly.
"In any case it does not matter. You will surrender and tell me where she is or you will die." Rolo said as the Knightmares levelled their weapons at Naruto who didn't bat an eye. "You can't escape."
"I wouldn't be so sure. Being an escape artist is practically my specialty." Naruto remarked casually.
"Not against this." Rolo said as he activated his Geass, freezing Naruto's perception of time. "You made a big mistake underestimating us." Rolo pulled out a knife to slit Naruto's throat and walked up to the blond. "You had your chance."
"So did you."
Rolo's eyes widened as Naruto grabbed his wrist as he held it Naruto's throat. "Wh-what?! How can you move?! My Geass hasn't worn off yet!"
Naruto chuckled. "You know a lot of times since coming a lot of people have made a habit of underestimating me. I guess it's kind of expected since you pricks haven't met anyone like me before but it's really getting annoying."
CRACK!
Rolo gritted his teeth as Naruto broke his wrist and released him, watching as the assassin jumped back. "FIRE!"
The Knightmares all aimed their rifles and pulled the trigger, releasing a hailstorm of bullets at Naruto who whispered two words as his Rinnegan eyes flashed with unlimited power. "Shinra Tensai!"
The bullets stopped mere inches from Naruto and were instantly launched back at the Knightmares ten times faster and harder as they pierced the armor on the Knightmares and came out the other side. The hangar was soon riddled with explosions and flying Knightmare pieces. The remaining Knightmares that survived the barrage moved to attack but Naruto was already on the move, dashing at the nearest Knightmare at high speed he jumped up and channeled chakra into his fist as he pulled back and slammed into the Knightmare's 'face' punching right through to the other side.
Landing on his feet Naruto spun around, making hand signs as he took a deep breath. " Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu! "
From his mouth came a giant blast of fire that melted two more Knightmares in blast of fire just as they fired their slash harkens which were incinerated instantly. Taking out his katana Naruto channeled wind chakra through the blade as he slashed through the air, releasing wind blasts that cut through even the thickest armor like a knife through butter. In just under a moment Naruto had completely decimated the hangar, leaving piles of destroyed Knightmares across the floor and he hadn't even had to use his full power to take them down.
'I wonder if I went a little overboard.' Naruto wondered.
' Nah! This is what I've been waiting for. These weaklings don't exactly measure up .' Kurama laughed from inside Naruto's mind.
'You got a point.' Naruto conceded before looking at the speechless Rolo. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"
Rolo was unable to speak or even move as he had just witnessed his target repel an entire group of Knightmares without moving an inch.
And then he saw those eyes…
He shivered as those ringed eyes seemed to stare into his very soul but his training kicked in when he noticed the Geass crest underneath the pupil. "What kind of Geass is that?"
"It's not Geass." Naruto simply said.
Rolo grunted and threw a knife at Naruto who caught it between his index and middle fingers. After seeing that tactic fail he pulled out his gun and fired at Naruto who kept his two fingers up and the bullets suddenly stopped in mid air.
"Magnet Release. Comes in handy in dealing with bullets." Naruto stated. "Seriously, this was your back up plan?"
Rolo stepped back, his mind racing to find a solution to this problem he was now facing.
"Now, there's a little matter I want to talk to you about. The matter of someone turning the people here into monsters." Naruto took a step forward. "It's not you because your Geass doesn't work that way so there's another Geass user around here. Where are they?"
"I will die before I talk." Rolo answered defiantly.
"No. You won't." Naruto said simply.
Rolo didn't have a chance to react as Naruto suddenly appeared right in front of him, his purple ringed eyes flashing ominously, and grabbed his head. Rolo tried to move but he felt a powerful presence in his mind, shifting through his mind like a library. Gasping at the unexpected sensation he fell to his knees, unable to move as Naruto shifted through his memories with nothing to stop him. No amount of training could have prepared Rolo for this.
He was literally helpless under the weight of what felt like an ocean of literal power beyond anything he had seen before. The assassin of the Geass Order was completely at the mercy of this interloper and he knew when he was helpless. For what had felt like a lifetime he was finally released and he fell face first onto the floor.
"So that's happened." Naruto scowled as he looked down at Rolo and leaned down to whisper into the assassin's ear. "I should kill you right now for what you've done but I won't, because I want you to send a message to the Geass Order, to V.V., and to Britannia's ass of an Emperor. Tell them that Zero isn't the only problem they will have in the future. I'm going to tear down the entire empire and end the suffering it has caused. That is my promise."
With that said Naruto Uzumaki disappeared in a flash of yellow light.
"You're back." C.C. noted after Naruto reappeared in their room. "How'd it go?"
"I feel the urge to strangle the hell out of that little brat when I finally meet him." Naruto sighed as he sat down on the bed. "He left all those people to be turned into monsters just to capture us."
"V.V. was always a little psycho." C.C. rolled onto her stomach. "Find anything interesting?"
"A few things, including a little something Lelouch will want to know." Naruto slipped off his shirt and fell onto the bed, laying his back. "Too tired to talk now."
C.C., wearing only a tank top and her panties cuddled up to Naruto with a smile. "You can tell me in the morning. Time for peace."
Naruto nodded and closed his eyes.
Lelouch just couldn't find the strength to get out of bed the following morning.
Perhaps it had been because the previous night raid had not only been physically taxing to a point that he didn't even bother to dream when he went to sleep. He just plopped onto the bed and closed his eyes.
'I should be getting and interrogating Naruto on the events of last night after he rescued everyone but I am just not in the mood. Perhaps today will simply be a resting day and allow everyone to recuperate after dealing with those cannibals.' Lelouch sat up on his bed. 'Perhaps spending the day with Nunnally will help me relax and curb her sudden rebellious streak.'
The thought of Nunnally suddenly acting a girl that would sneak out after bed time and recklessly wander the streets at night without consideration for her own safety was something Lelouch couldn't believe and he needed to speak to her about it as soon as possible. And then there was the matter of someone else knowing his face beneath the mask…
'Tamaki.'
Lelouch sighed and pulled the covers over his head.
It was too early for this shit.
'Oh great. Now I'm thinking like Naruto.'
Naruto suddenly sneezed which woke him up from a rather nice sleep. "Fucking bastard. I was having a nice sleep until someone started talking about me."
"Will you stop whining? You're not the only one trying to sleep."
Naruto looked over and saw a single golden eye staring at him annoyance as her body rested against his. "What time is it?"
"Don't know. Don't care." C.C. scooted a little closer. "Go back to sleep."
Naruto chuckled. "Don't we have school?"
C.C. scoffed. "What do I care? Anyways shouldn't my need be more important?"
And to think back in his world Naruto was scolded for not taking education seriously. "Come on, Cera. If I can't go back to sleep we might as well get up."
C.C. scoffed and sat up. "I think I liked you better when you were not the responsible one."
Naruto chuckled as she walked over to where her school clothes were lying.
"So, Naruto, tell me something." C.C. said as she slipped her skirt on, very slowly to tease Naruto who was closely watching.
"What?"
"Why didn't you kill Rolo when you had the chance?" C.C. took off her tank top and then slid on the school shirt, doing it slowly to tease Naruto by showing off her chest.
"I wanted him to tell V.V. what happened to scare the shit out of the little bastard." Naruto said, not batting an eye to C.C.'s teasing.
He had been around her and Jiraiya enough times to have some form of control.
"That's hardly a reason." C.C. replied after doing up the buttons. "That will force him and Charles to back off for a short time but they'll be back."
"Maybe but I also learned of the hidden Geass Order base here in Japan and I want to take care of it first. They have been using it to distribute Refrain throughout Japan." Naruto replied. "And I want them all to be there for when I bring the shirt storm down on them."
C.C. did her tie up. "So just a warm up to the finale."
"You got it." Naruto nodded.
"That does sound like you." C.C. admitted as she slipped on her blazer, doing it up and then straightened her hair.
"And you're any different." Naruto retorted with a smirk.
C.C. threw a smirk back at him as she slid on her white thigh high stockings followed by her shoes. "At one point I'm going to wonder which of us is the most mature." She tied her hair into a pony tail and then did a little twirl to put on a show for Naruto. "Satisfied?"
"Beautiful." Naruto said honestly which in turned provoked an honest smile from C.C.
She always loved how honest he was with her, making her feel special with how much he cherished her even when he teased her.
"It's your turn to get dressed." C.C. winked. "Unless you plan to be dressed like that all day… Not that I really mind."
"You truly are a pervert." Naruto said as he started to get dressed feeling C.C eyeing him as he took off his shirt, showing her his bare chest. "Were you like this with anyone else?"
"I've had a few lovers. Of course I had a few moments when I've need to relief myself of any stress… But I never said I had any… male lovers in that time." C.C. answered with a sadistic grin.
It only widened when she saw a drop of blood coming out Naruto's nose.
Nunnally had no idea how exactly she was supposed to feel when she saw her big brother making breakfast the following morning, acting like nothing had changed.
Like this was just another day.
Like he acting that he wasn't hiding a big secret from her.
The problem was that Nunnally knew.
Her eyes had been opened both literally and figuratively to the cruel world that she had been blinded to by both her brother and father.
Her father did it to ensure her brother would have always have a weakness, a crutch, a burden to her brother.
Lelouch had tried to protect her and what innocence she had left.
The problem was that the innocence he had tried was merely a mask she had made for his sake just as he pretended he wasn't waging a war with their former homeland to keep her safe but she wasn't a blind, crippled, naïve little girl anymore. She had already taken her first step into the real world and she was already following in her brother's footsteps by gaining a great power like he had. Bringing up a mirror to her face Nunnally watched as her purple eyes morphed into the same purple colored and black ringed patterned eyes that she shared with only a handful of people.
These eyes had made her look so different with just one glance.
Only six people could share these eyes according to C.C.
Six people sharing the same eyes but wielding different abilities.
Six people bound to each other and their contractor by the same vision.
C.C.'s Knightmare: Asura Path
The woman scientist named Rakshata who Nunnally was introduced to through their shared vision: Human Path
Her own maid, protector and friend, Sayoko Shinozaki: Animal Path
And now Nunnally who did not know what kind power or path she had taken yet but when she started training she soon would know what power she had been given. And then she would leave her own mark on the world like her brother.
"Six Paths of Rebellion." Nunnally whispered, staring at her Rinnegan.
The Six Paths of Rebellion and their masters, the two who gave them their powers, would one day change the entire world.
'And now I am one of those paths, like my brother. He wanted to change the world for my sake but I will not stand by and watch from the side lines. He has the power to change the world and I knew he would embark on the path of blood and destruction but he will not be alone.'
If he was a demon than she was a fallen angel who was cast out of Heaven and whose wings would be stained with the blood of her enemies.
"So tell me, Lulu, how did the mission go last night?"
Lelouch had to sigh as Naruto and C.C. caught up to him on their way to class. He was not in the mood for this after what had happened last night. "Why don't you ask your boyfriend?"
"I want to hear it from you." C.C. said simply, wrapping her arms around Naruto's right arm. "Naruto already told me his story. Now it's your turn."
"If you must know it was a disaster." Lelouch answered with a grunt.
"Really? A mission led by you was a disaster?" C.C. lightly asked.
Lelouch scoffed and turned his head away, knowing that C.C. was teasing him and wasn't interested in what happened.
"I heard you lost your mask and had to rely on Naruto to save you when you were cornered. You really need to start training a bit instead of relying on that brain of yours to get you out of trouble." C.C. continued baiting Lelouch.
"Perhaps if you were there things would have been easier." Lelouch retorted.
"And then what? You start relying on me or Naruto to save you when things don't go your way?" C.C. said smoothly.
"And what about the Geass Order? I thought you had that taken care of." Lelouch argued. "My team was in no way prepared."
"How unfair. Things don't go your way and you blame it on us. At the very least you are all alive, proving it wasn't a total disaster. I guess this means we'll have to keep a closer eye on you from now on, just in case something goes wrong." C.C. smirked.
"It's possibly better that way." Lelouch reluctantly conceded. "At the very least a secret Britannian base that was possibly conducting experiments involving Geass has been destroyed and another trap by the Geass Order has been neutralized. Now I have another problem."
"Oh and what's that?"
"Tamaki saw his face." Naruto answered, earning a glare from Lelouch. "Oh knock it off. It's not as bad as it sounds."
"Really?" Lelouch scoffed.
"He could be telling everyone in the Black Knights that Zero is really some Britannian kid that goes to the same school as Kallen." Naruto pointed out.
Lelouch had admit, at least in his mind that Naruto had a point there was no way in hell that he would admit it out loud.
"Now then you have to prepare yourself for something very important today. Something that possibly too great for the great Zero to handle."
"What's that?" Lelouch asked, feeling unnerved at Naruto's menacing grin.
"Gym."
"GAH!" Lelouch cried out as he fell onto the ground.
"What's this? Another miss! Lulu's really stepping up!" Milly said, acting as captain of the opposite team. "This is breathtaking moment ladies and gentlemen. And to think he decided not to try and skip like he always does."
'It's not like I actually had a choice.' Lelouch thought glumly. 'Both Milly and Naruto are completely insane!'
Normally Lelouch wouldn't be caught dead in a gym class or any kind of activity involving exercise but unfortunately for him he had been blackmailed by a pair of blondes from Hell that had joined forces to make him squirm. On their own Naruto Uzumaki and Milly Ashford were separate forces of nature that couldn't be stopped. But when they came together?
Complete Armageddon.
And it didn't help that C.C. was contend to simply watch the two Hell-Blondes make him squirm for his life.
Kallen had to sit out because of her condition but she had stifle the urge to laugh as Lelouch got up, looking like he was about to pass out any second. Naruto and C.C. were both on Milly's team and were sharing a small laugh Lelouch's predicament. Naruto was all for sports, getting some exercise while C.C. was simply bored and want to tease Naruto with her white bicycle shorts when no one was looking.
It was then Naruto realized that C.C. had a bit of a one track mind when it came to certain things, such as pizza and their relationship.
Milly suddenly got an idea and everyone knew it by the Cheshire Cat smile on her face.
"Milly, what are you up to?" Lelouch stopped upon seeing Milly's smile.
"Why, Lulu, what makes you think I'm up to something?" Milly innocently asked.
"Because you have that gleam in your eyes. The one you make when you are plotting something." Lelouch answered, wishing he could run away.
Milly giggled. "Well I just had this wonderful idea. Since Lulu is actually showing some backbone let's make this interesting. The person who hits Lulu will get the same reward as the Cat challenge: a big kiss from a member of the student council!"
"WHAT?!" Kallen, Lelouch, Shirley and several other students shouted the same instant.
"That's right! Let's give our Vice-President of the Student Council a proper challenge, a proper workout and proper motivation!" Milly continued, her face consorting in a grin so evil that even the Biju inside Naruto shivered.
Rivalz had stars in his eyes. 'I've got to win!'
Naruto clutched his stomach as he laughed. "Oh wow! This is too good!"
C.C. grinned at Lelouch. "I wonder who will win… Lulu."
Kallen and Shirley were both blushing and sweating bullets from the looks some of the boys were sending their way they realized that Lelouch was their only hope…
In a dodge ball game.
'We're doomed!' Both girls thought frantically.
C.C. noticed some of the boys and maybe a few girls were looking at her and knew what they were thinking. "Go ahead and try everyone. Give it your best shot. I'll go and pucker up my lips for the one who gets him."
Naruto sighed as the boys she was talking to now had stars in their eyes. 'Cera, you're a cruel, cruel woman.'
'I know. Isn't she great? ' Kurama snuckered.
'She is… But we both know she's only teasing them.' Naruto thought and smirked at Lelouch who was now sweating. 'Now back to present matter.'
Lelouch cursed Milly while started sweating when he saw the grins on Naruto and C.C.'s faces and knew he was in trouble.
Naruto had a fox-like grin that threatened to split his face in two.
C.C.'s grin was more composed but she looked like she had found a new toy that she wanted to play with for as long as possible.
'Damn you Milly! Do you have any idea what you've done?!' Lelouch thought, looking at the cat-like grin on Milly's face.
Apparently she did.
Now Lelouch was helpless as all hell broke loose and he could only do one thing: take cover behind Suzaku who happened to be on the same team as him. "Suzaku, as my best friend and teammate I order to be my shield."
"Come on, Lelouch. Don't you think this is a bit dramatic?" Suzaku asked.
"GET HIM!"
'On second thought, maybe not.' Suzaku realized as over a dozen balls flew at him.
Naruto almost got carried away since Suzaku was able to effortlessly dodge or catch all the dodge balls but the ones he used and it was actually a bit of a challenge to try and hit Suzaku and then dodge the ones thrown back at him.
In the end though Naruto whacked a ball back at Suzaku, knocking him down along with Lelouch.
"And Naruto is the winner!" Milly declared causing everyone to cheer at his victory or mourn for their loss. "So who is the lucky girl?"
"Probably not me." C.C. spoke up, earning everyone's attention as she adopted an upset look on her face. "Why not go kiss one of the pretty girls you've been eyeing behind my back? Am I really so ugly to you?"
"Wha?" Naruto said and then realized what she was doing. 'Oh she's evil!'
' I know! Isn't it great ?!' Kurama asked as he and the other Biju laughed.
"Really? Your boyfriend's been eyeing other girls?" Milly leaned in, eager to hear the juicy details. "Go on dear, do tell."
"It's been happening for a while now. He sends a few glances to some pretty girls who walk by us in the middle of our dates when he thinks I'm not looking! I'm so ashamed that my own boyfriend would do such a thing to me on our one year anniversary!" C.C. explained, looking like she was about to burst into tears.
Only Naruto, Lelouch, and Kallen saw the smug look in her eyes as she looked at Naruto who started sweating as everyone glared at him. 'That's what you get for ruining my pizza last night, Naruto.'
'Cera, I'm going to get you for this!' Naruto thought as his eyes darted back nervously between the slowly growing army of glaring students.
"Well we can't have that now can we?" Milly turned and glared at Naruto with an evil smile. "The first one to capture Naruto Uzumaki will decide his punishment and once again earn a kiss from a member of the Student Council!"
"Madam President!" Shirley shouted in protest. "You can't keep offering our lips as prizes!"
"Oh? Don't you want to be kissed by a certain… someone?" Milly asked, sending a hidden glance at Lelouch that made Shirley blush. "Well, what are you standing around for? Get him!"
Naruto spent the rest of the day running from angry students, especially the female half since he had learned long ago to fear the female fury towards perverts and cheaters.
"Well, C.C. is there something you wanted to talk to me about or are you up here just to watch Naruto squirm? I honestly didn't expect you to leave him to the wolves like that." Kallen asked once she and C.C. were on the roof, wearing their regular uniforms.
"Oh don't worry about Naruto. He can handle himself and while I am entertained by my boyfriend fleeing from all my little puppets that's not what I'm here to talk to you about. Naruto asked me tell you something that we cannot tell Lelouch yet since we know how he'll react." C.C. leaned against the railing.
"And what's that?" Kallen frowned.
"Nunnally has the Rinnegan."
"What?!" Kallen spun and looked at the back of C.C.'s head. "What did you just say?!"
"I gave Nunnally the Rinnegan." C.C. answered simply. "I offered and she accepted."
"And Lelouch doesn't know? How could you do this behind his back?" Kallen asked, suddenly angry that C.C. gave a dangerous power to a little girl.
"The same way Lelouch went behind her back." C.C. said without missing a beat.
"The same way… Nunnally knows that Lelouch is Zero?!" Kallen exclaimed and quickly shut her mouth and looked around just in case anyone was listening. When finding no one was around she turned back to C.C. "You told her?"
"She figured it out." C.C. answered with a shrug. "She's not a blind angel anymore and she's finding herself in the world her brother tried to hide from her. She knows that she cannot stop her brother because he's gone too far down the path he chose and she loves him too much to even consider turning him over to Britannia. So now she wants to help her brother rebel, if only to protect him because she doesn't want to be a burden."
"But why give her the Rinnegan?" Kallen questioned, slightly understanding since she was the same with her brother.
"She has the same potential as Lelouch, perhaps even more and unlike Lelouch she's not afraid of a little exercise. If she was given Geass it would be powerful but with the Rinnegan she would be held back until she is ready with Naruto, Sayoko and myself training her." C.C. explained. "She won't do anything unless her brother is in danger and that will keep her safe."
"What about keeping her out of this? Lelouch will never forgive you for this." Kallen pointed out.
"Can't keep her out if it's her own choice." C.C. shrugged. "Nunnally is not the fragile blind and crippled little girl that depended on her brother for everything anymore. She's come a long way and Lelouch would only try to keep her away to protect her but Nunnally is too stubborn unless he orders her away with his Geass."
"He'd never do that." Kallen stated, knowing that Lelouch would never actually use his Geass on his little sister of all people.
She knew that much about him.
"Yes. That is why the only way to keep Nunnally safe is to make her stronger than even her brother. Something greater than Zero… Infinitely greater."
