Chapter 2: I'm Annie Leonhart
Previously from Naruto Uzumaki: The Hope of Humanity…
"For those who I haven't chosen, don't worry, each of you will have one of my clones to train you personally with Shadis here overseeing them." The said man nodded. "We will push you to your utmost limits and we will make sure that you will be the best Military batch that humanity ever produced. IS THAT CLEAR?!" Naruto shouted as everyone answered.
"HAI!"
"Good, tomorrow is your aptitude test, make sure you get some good night sleep and eat well, I need you all at full strength tomorrow morning. Understood?!"
"HAI!"
"NOW, OFFER YOU HEARTS, FOR HUMANITY!" With their morale high, the cadets proudly saluted to Naruto, with their heads held high.
"FOR HUMANITY!" They all proudly shouted as Naruto smiled and Keith smirked.
"We'll make these brats fine soldiers, all thanks to you kid," Keith said to his mind as he watched the cadets proudly saluting to them.
"DISMISSED!"
"This generation of humanity is not so bad after all, I'm counting on the seven of you: Mikasa-chan, Mina, Sasha, Historia, Eren, Jean… Annie."
Story Start.
"That's what I'm trying to tell you, Naruto is practically family. We grew up together, me, Armin, Mikasa, and him back at Shiganshina." Came from the voice of Eren Yeager as many of the cadets gathered around him to listen to his tale.
"S-So, you were that day?" The question came from Connie Springer and everyone nodded at the question as most of them have never seen a Titan before.
"Yeah, Mikasa and Armin were together at that time. It was very peaceful, then the ground shook, then we saw a huge hand, next it was the Colossal Titan's head, peering down from the wall."
"W-Wow… many of us here haven't even seen a Titan…" Eren went silent after that, remembering that smiling titan that nearly killed his mother, it unnerved him as he saw the titan still smiling after Naruto killed it.
"We immediately ran towards our house, and when we arrived, the house was in ruins, and a pillar of wood pinning down our mother." Eren continued, and it resulted in multiple gasps from the cadets.
"I-Is she…?" Eren got the hidden question from Mina Carolina and he shook his head 'no'.
"No, Naruto suddenly arrived and killed the Titan that is walking towards our ruined house. He was also wearing a 3D maneuver gear, he helped us to get our mother underneath the pillar. He then carried our mother towards the boats while Hannes-san carried me and Mikasa until we arrived near the boats." The cadets nodded in understanding.
"That was exactly one year since we last saw him when he said he's going somewhere. But luckily, he arrived just in time to help out our mother. Oh, and by the way, I just remembered! It's his birthday today, October 10th, I'm such an idiot, I didn't even greet him."
"Oh, did you know where he went? And it's his birthday today?! Damn, Eren, you should have remembered it! You guys know him the most." And such, the barrage of different questions continued, and Eren Yeager answered them all, unknown to him, there was one listening intently as Eren answered all the questions about Naruto.
Annie Leonhart…
That is her name… it was given to her by her father who raised her, trained her for this mission, trained her from sunrise to sunset without breaks, trained her to treat the world as an enemy and promised that he would be always on her side.
"Annie… Annie! Your dad is the only one on your side. Annie… I was wrong. It's too late to ask your forgiveness. But… there's one thing… I want to ask you. So promise me… that you will return home…"
Those were the last words of her father before she, Reiner, and Berthot set out to do their mission. Retrieve the Coordinate at all cost, but she doesn't know what to do now, her mission has been compromised before it even began. Her father begged her to return, no matter what, but she knew at the moment she met Naruto, that is no longer an option, it's too late now, there is coming back, no, because when Naruto Uzumaki is concerned, you only have two options, die or accept his help.
She then remembered everything Naruto said to her earlier today, and she still can't even fathom how Naruto knew her secret. Maybe, just maybe… he could tell her the truth, about this world and everything in it.
"I know many things Annie, trust me, I'm here to help. Meet me tonight, by the lake, we'll talk later." Those words ringed into her as she listened to Eren boast about Naruto helping them when they were younger. Annie finished her dinner and brought her plate to the kitchen of the mess hall and not long after, she left the mess hall in silence.
"Should I?" She thought as she walked out of the mess hall, putting her hood on as she looked towards the sky and saw the stars shining brightly with the moon, devoid of clouds, it reflected her beautiful eyes and she thought it was beautiful.
"… tonight, by the lake, we'll talk later." Setting one more glance towards the sky, she walked towards the trees, with moonlight shining in between the spaces of the leaves as she walked up the pathway towards the cliff that overlooks the lake. It took her several minutes of straight walking before she saw the end of the road from the distance. Once again, she glanced towards the sky and saw the moonlight touching her face before she continued to walk towards the end of the road.
When she got closer towards the end, she saw an old man floating, he has deep wrinkles and a strong jawline. He also has a spiky, shoulder-length, pale-red hair with a braided lock hanging in front of his left ear. He also has a long goatee and horn-like protrusions from both sides of his forehead.
Annie hid behind a tree and watched the old man talk to someone when she looked towards the direction of the old man's rippled eyes, she saw Naruto, sitting atop a branch wearing some strange clothing. She then walked closer in silence to listen to the conversation.
"And, Naruto… I just remembered this… Happy Birthday." The old man said in a kindly tone and Annie heard Naruto chuckled and saw a smile on his face.
"Oh, Hagoromo-jiji, you shouldn't have bothered remembering that. I haven't celebrated my birthday for some time, except during my stay with the Yeager family." Naruto replied to the old man, now named as Hagoromo who cracked a smile.
"I know, but they always celebrate it, every year." Hagoromo pointed behind him and all of the sudden, a soft light appeared on thin air and what Naruto saw shocked him. It was his entire family, all his friends, all those who grew up with him, even those who became his enemies. The blond was speechless as Annie watched from behind, wondering, who those people are.
"Come on, seriously?" Naruto muttered, trying to stop tears falling from his eyes as the figures smiled at him.
"It's been a while and Happy Birthday, dobe." Naruto shook his head as it was the first he heard that voice for many years.
"Sasuke-teme, Sakura-chan…"
"Happy birthday, Naruto." The pink haired woman smiled at him as she stood with a tall dark haired man.
"Lord Seventh, Happy Birthday." A black-haired woman bowed politely to Naruto.
"Sarada…"
"Naruto-kun, Happy Birthday."
"Hinata-chan…"
"Tou-chan! Happy Birthday!" A blond man and a dark blue-haired woman shouted jovially, he was a spitting image of Naruto and she was spitting image of Hinata.
"Boruto… Himawari…"
"Yo, Naruto. Happy Birthday." A silver-haired man greeted casually with an eye smile.
"Kakashi-sensei… everyone."
"Naruto, we're very proud of you, as always, remember that. And Happy Birthday."
"Dad, mom…"
"Naru-chan! Happy Birthday!" A beautiful red-haired woman shouted to him with a bright smile.
"Thanks… I guess… hehe…" Naruto scratched the back of his head with tears of joy freely flowing out of his eyes as he smiled at the sight he thought he'd never see again.
"Naruto, you achieved what I couldn't, take care, and Happy Birthday!"
"Arigato, Obito."
"Naruto! Happy Birthday!" The rest of them shouted before they vanished in the moonlight, leaving Naruto and Hagoromo in silence, while Annie watched from behind a tree.
"You guys… thank you." He muttered, wiping off the tears on his face as Hagoromo smiled at him.
"Well, that's about that. And Naruto, my mother is waking up from the seal." Naruto's mood turned serious as he looked to the creator of Ninshū.
"What happened? Wasn't the seal permanent?"
"It is permanent, I'm just saying she's waking up from her sleep that you and Sasuke put her into and I know now that her creation, Zetsu, manipulated her into what she did thousands of years ago. I just want you to know and make sure you do what you think is right. You have 10 years to plan." Hagoromo said as Naruto sighed before nodding.
"I see, leave it to me jiji," Naruto replied as Hagoromo smiled before he vanished back into the Pure Land.
"I know you will… Naruto."
Naruto sat on the bench in silence, contemplating on what just happened, Kurama watched in silence as Naruto let out a sigh of relief. It has been too long since he saw all those faces, they are all in the Pure Land, watching him across the years of his existence. He just saw his entire family, from Minato and Kushina to the Royal family of Fritz, from Sakura and Sasuke to the every Ackerman that lived, and to many others. Naruto stared at the moon in silence as he leaned back to the tree.
"Annie, come out, I know you're there." Naruto loudly said as he continued to watch the moon illuminate the world, gone from the days that Madara used the Infinite Tsukuyomi, it is just a very beautiful sight.
The girl came out of the shadows, her hoodie hiding her face as she stared at Naruto whose form seemed to bathe in moonlight, he was still not looking at her as she stared at him, she also noticed that he seemed to be in deep thought as he looked towards the sky.
"So, you came after all… Annie." Naruto said, still not looking down at her.
"Who are you?" That was the first thing she asked as she walked closer towards the tree where he is sitting at. Naruto didn't answer, instead, he jumped from the branch and walked towards the cliff, and sat there.
"Have a seat first, I feel we're going to have a long night," Naruto said as he sat at the cliff, he glanced down and saw that it is at least a 50-meter fall if you're unfortunate enough to slide down.
Annie did what she was told silently, seeing that if she tried to fight him, it'll mean her immediate death. She noticed when Naruto showed them that technique he threw up in the sky, his eyes lingered to hers, Reiner's, and Berthot's when he said that it can kill Titans in one hit, meaning, he won't hesitate to kill her if she tries something funny.
"Now, to answer your question… who am I? Well, you already know that I'm Naruto Uzumaki, isn't that enough?" Naruto grinned, but it vanished as soon as it appeared, he knew it wasn't a good time for joking.
"What are you?" Annie glanced at him as he inhaled and exhaled multiple times before looking at her.
"Someone from a bygone era." She raised an eyebrow at his vague answer as Naruto looked towards night sky and laid his back on the ground.
"I've seen too much, Annie, did too much, but what happened? It's always the same, humans are really fickle beings, eras may change, civilizations may fall, but their nature remains the same, flawed." He said quietly with a fond smile.
"But that's what makes them great because they endure. They adapt to any changes in the world, I've seen it first hand, a long time ago."
"What are you talking about?" She asked her fellow blond who smirked.
"Just an old man reminiscing the past."
"Old man? You don't look like one, I mean, Yeager said you grew up with them." Annie looked towards Naruto with a confused reaction.
"Oh, I did, but that is one of many things you can do with Chakra, making yourself look younger," Naruto replied as he remembered Tsunade with her illusion.
"So, is this form of yours only a fake?" She asked curiously, and she got an indignant snort from Naruto.
"Of course not, this is my real form. I haven't aged for a very long time, Annie, remember that." He nonchalantly replied as he observed the clear night sky, and he thought it was beautiful.
"You lie." Cue laughter from Naruto that seemed to irked the young Leonhart.
"I don't care if you believe me or not, but let me tell you one thing, you will not be able to complete your mission," Naruto said with his serious tone, while not bothering to glance at Annie.
"Why?! If we got the Coordinate, these Titans will stop!" Annie hissed at him as he continued his star-gazing.
"You think I don't know what the Government of Marley is planning with the Coordinate huh? Remember Annie, I know many things. I'm old, but I'm not senile."
"But…" Annie tried to find the words, but she can't say anything as Naruto continued to watch the night sky without a care in the world.
"No 'but's' Miss Leonhart, Marley wants to destroy the Eldian race behind the walls to take the vast amount of resources in this land for their advancement in technology and take the Coordinate with your team of warriors doing the deed. You succeed in breaching Wall Maria, but you won't get to breach Wall Rose, not while I'm here." Naruto just nonchalantly said the goals of Marley here in Paradis, because he knows Annie can't do a thing even if she wants too, so she just went silent.
"Can't you see, you're just one of the many expendable children that Marley promised to be given freedom. Even if you succeed, you think they are going to reward you? Please, they can see that the power of the Titans is declining, one day, they'll try to get rid of you. Especially you shifters, you may be one of their greatest weapons, but you can be their greatest threat given time." Naruto explained to the silent girl as he continued.
"Heck, even your father regretted sending you here." That statement, it got a reaction from her.
"What are you talking about?" She looked at him straight in the eye, but Naruto didn't give her eye contact, not before he replied.
"Don't you remember, he apologized and cried to you before you left?" He asked as he made eye contact with her, but the girl didn't answer and went silent as she remembered the last words of her father before they went out to do their mission, and indeed, she remembered him apologizing to her for some unknown reason. Could it be Naruto knows what her father is apologizing for?
"What do you know about it?" Her voice was silent and cold, and it was carried by the wind while Naruto continued to look at the stars silently.
"I only know that he regretted making you into what you are now and sending you here. He wanted a daughter, he got a weapon of a corrupt government. Truthfully, he didn't have a choice about it really. What do you think I was doing before your group attacked breach Wall Maria? Lollygagging? Procrastinating?" He paused, not waiting for an answer before continuing.
"No, I was gathering information from both places, in Marley and here in Paradis. Finding different ways on how to rally the people behind the walls, and your attack on Wall Maria gave me a perfect chance to start my work. Playing with the people's fear of Titans, because when humans are afraid, they tend to try to find someone for support, and that's the part that I'm - no we are going to do, with this group I'm creating with the seven of you within the Survey Corps, so that the people will look up to us and show their support and instead of those inside Wall Sheena." Naruto said as he sat up before he looked to Annie who listened to his words.
"I'm offering you another chance in life, to see your father again, and live the life that you never had. You are still young Annie Leonhart, you can do all the things you want." Naruto said before he stood from where he was sitting and looked down at the girl.
"You are Annie Leonhart, you have your own mind, you are not your father, you are not your teammates, you are a unique person and I believe that you will grow into a very fine woman. Be what you want to be, do not be afraid." Naruto said to her as she watched the horizon silently. She didn't utter a single word for a few minutes as they both watched the night sky.
"Why are you doing this? What is your purpose?"
"Why? I don't know, I'm still trying to find that out myself, why do I even bother? Maybe I love this world? I'm afraid I haven't found the answer yet. But I know to myself, I have to do it, because no one will, I watched from the shadows for thousands of years Annie, I believe it's time to truly bring peace to this world." Naruto said before he stood up while Annie sat silently as she listened to Naruto's words.
"Everyone makes mistakes Annie, no one is perfect in this world. I, for instance, made many decisions in my life that I regretted… that was a long time ago. It's is common to make mistakes when you have so many responsibilities on your shoulders, it's bound to happen, sooner or later. It doesn't matter how far you've thought things through, you will make mistakes, I can assure you that." He paused as Annie looked up towards him before he continued.
"Though, they don't really matter to us except that they teach us to learn from our mistakes. What really matters is that if you never give up and continue to do what your heart tells you, with that, you can overcome all the obstacles in your path and you will succeed. Look at me, the world was once against me, but I never strayed from my path and I achieved my dreams back then, I didn't run away, I just stayed where I was and continued from there. The only thing that you really need to make sure is that you never stray from your path because you will become lost and it will hard for you to find the way." Naruto finished as he smiled down at Annie before he looked towards the horizon again while Annie just looked at him with a contemplating look.
"You are a… complicated person," Annie muttered while Naruto chuckled for a moment before he replied.
"You're not the first person who said to me, but I can't blame you, at my age, you tend to be very complicated to others." He replied to her as he inhaled deeply before exhaling.
"You know, I used to have a friend that is similar to you. So, focused on the task he set himself after a fateful night that changed him. After he finished his mission, he lost himself in the darkness, he had forgotten who and what he was…" Naruto said to her as she looked at him.
"What happened to him?" She asked him, truly curious about this person.
"You saw that dark-haired man with a pink-haired woman earlier? That was him, I literally went to beat him down to knock some sense into him." He said with a small smile on his face before looking down at Annie who widened her eyes a bit.
"He was my best friend, a brother in all but blood. He went on to atone his mistakes and came back stronger." He continued with a fond smile gracing his face as Annie fell silent as she listened intently.
"In the end, it was all good for him, he got married to our teammate, and got a beautiful daughter that married my eldest son. You know, that blonde man with a spitting image of me, he was my eldest child. And that was very long time ago before any these things existed…" The two blondes went quiet as the moon shone brightly down on them.
"You know, a man that greatly influenced my life once said that 'those who break the rules are scum… but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum'." He placed his right hand on her left shoulder before looking down at her.
"I want to be your friend Annie, heck, I could have told the military of what you are before you even knew me. That would have prevented your entry to the Training Corps, and you would have been experimented on by the Survey Corps, but I prevented that because I believe that everyone has a chance to prove themselves right, that is the chance I'm giving you right now." Annie's gaze went towards the lake as Naruto patted her shoulders.
"I want to help you, Annie, I know there is that gap in your heart yearning for something that you can hold onto, cry onto, and lean onto." Naruto paused and looked at Annie who had a forlorn look on her face.
"There is always good in this world Annie, remember that it will always be there for you, trust me, I will be here if you need anything, and make friends as well, and also, try to smile a bit more, I think it will look good on your beautiful face."
"If you want to ask why I'm doing this Annie Leonhart, it's for this cruel, yet beautiful world. I trust that you will decide what's right for you, I'll be expecting an answer from you tomorrow, and get some sleep. Good night, Annie," Naruto said as he walked away from her, back to the encampment to call it a night, leaving the young woman with her own thoughts.
"Good night…"
It was early in the morning, as Naruto cleaned himself in the bath and wore his military uniform as today is the Aptitude test, he had discussed with Keith what to do yesterday afternoon and readied himself as he would be making sure who would be ready to become soldiers of humanity and he will straighten them up, whether they like or not.
"I wonder what that Annie girl decided… hmm, you think she'll give you an answer today?" Kurama asked as Naruto finished putting all the things needs to wear for today.
"I have no idea, but we'll see. Today is the start of their official training day anyway, anything can happen." He replied as he looked in the mirror before walking out of his quarters.
"Meh, I bet she'll give you a straight answer."
"Oh, I hope so." Naruto's reply was brief as began his morning walk across the barracks as the sun hasn't risen up yet, but the bell alarm would be ringing in a few minutes. He would be looking at those who have woken up and those who have not, as part of his observation that he will be submitting to Keith to see who are the students that are ready to wake up before the proper time as this will reflect towards their future actions when they officially become soldiers.
As he walked past some of the male rooms, he could hear some are awake and having a chat with each other, but there are also some rooms where he can hear loud snoring where he chuckled silently before moving on to sense what the other males are doing inside their shared rooms. After finishing his observations of the males, he moved on towards the barracks of the females, sensing that some are already awake and some are still asleep, there are some snoring, but not as loud as the males, he also sensed that Annie is awake, as well as Mikasa, but no noises were heard, they must be contemplating about things as Naruto concluded, he then moved on from the females and went on to continue his walk, as he will be joining the cadets in their breakfast.
"Ooh, ramen for breakfast! I'm glad I taught the kitchen crew how to make ramen, but then, I'll be the one making everyone's breakfast today anyway." Naruto thought to himself as he walked aimlessly around the training area.
"Tch! You and your ramen… even after all these years."
"Shut up Kurama, just because you can't enjoy the Holy Ramen, it doesn't mean you can blaspheme it!" Naruto shouted to the fox inside his mind while the fox grumbled about blonde idiots and their ramen.
"Anyway, the bell should be sounded at right about now." As if on the cue, the bell was sounded, and it was quite loud. Loud enough to force the cadets to wake up immediately so that they can go to the mess hall before cleaning themselves for the day.
Naruto watched from a corner as he saw the cadets moving out of their rooms, some still look very sleepy and some are wide awake, it's just natural. After that, he continued his short walk as he waited for all the cadets to enter the mess hall before he does. Soon, they all finished going inside and he began to walk towards the mess hall, he looked towards the sky and saw that the sun hasn't risen yet.
As he neared the entrance, he heard chatter from the cadets as they waited for their breakfast to be cooked so they can collect a plate for themselves.
"They are quite lively today aren't they?"
"Yeah, must be because today is their aptitude test, and by the way, did you checked the equipment yesterday?" Kurama asked as Naruto continued to walk towards the entrance.
"No, that's Keith's job, but, if somehow there's a problem with the equipment's, I can easily snoop it out. I know everything about the technology in this world inside these walls. But enough talk, I'm famished." Naruto said as he entered the mess hall, but no one noticed him as they are busy with their chatter of with themselves.
But, as soon as he walked down the hall, everyone noticed him but he ignored them in favor of entering the kitchen. And they were asking why he is going to the kitchen, but Eren and Mikasa got an idea why - Naruto's going to cook for them and they know that Naruto's dishes are worth fighting for. When they were younger, before the Titans entered Wall Maria, the blonde used to help Carla cooking or half of the time, he is cooking for the Yeager family, it can be breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they all loved it.
"Mikasa, is he going to cook today?" Eren whispered excitedly to Mikasa who shrugged while Armin looked at them.
"Maybe." She said as they watched Naruto vanished into the kitchen.
"Naruto-nii is cooking?" Armin asked the two who shrugged their shoulders.
"Come to think of it, when was the last time we ate a dish cooked by Naruto? Before he left Shiganshina right?" Eren wondered as the three childhood friends wondered about the same thing as some cadets overheard their conversation.
"Naruto-sensei can cook?" Connie asked as the rest heard his question, meanwhile, in the kitchen, Naruto currently wearing a white apron heard the conversation and shook his head before smiling as he continued to knead the dough for the ramen that he and the other cooks are making for breakfast.
"Yeah, and his dishes are the best, trust me, whatever he is making right now will be one of the best things you will ever taste." Eren boasted as Mikasa and Armin silently agreed while the cadets talked with each other thinking how good a cook Naruto is.
"Tch! That kid…" Naruto shook his head as he continued to prepare everything that is needed for the breakfast dish.
Meanwhile, Annie did what she knows best, listening to the conversations around her as she stayed silent, still pondering about Naruto's words last night. Though it was a surprise for her that Naruto can cook, and if the words of Eren Yeager is to be trusted, it will be very good, and she is looking forward to taste Naruto's cooking, whether she admits it or not.
After the breakfast that the cadets thoroughly loved, they all went out to clean themselves and be ready for the official training today. Meanwhile, Naruto is preparing the things he needs for today, such as his observation logbook and pen for the cadets as he and Keith will start judging the cadets today. And he also prepared the special tools that his seven personal students will be needing inside a sealing scroll hidden in his coat.
"And done." He muttered before he walked out of his personal sleeping quarters towards the training field where the other staff is currently preparing everything they need to for the day. But, before he got close to the training field, he saw Annie waiting for him, complete with her uniform behind one of the buildings.
"Ah, Miss Leonhart, what can I do for you?" Naruto said as he stopped by Annie who apparently is waiting for him. She was quiet for a few moments before she opened her mouth and spoke to the towering blonde.
"About last night…" She started as Naruto leaned towards the wall facing down Annie as she looked towards him, making eye contact.
"What about it?" Naruto asked the smaller girl in front of him with a raised eyebrow.
"I've decided that… I will be going against the mission I was trained for since I was young." She stated as Naruto stared at her eyes.
"Oh really? What about your team members, Reiner and Berthot? What are you going to do about them?" Naruto whispered to her as he leaned down closer to her.
"… I'll leave them to you." She said to him quietly.
"So, what made you choose this decision?"
"Did I have any choice in the matter?" Naruto chuckled at her reply, then, he replied.
"You actually did have choices - To continue on your mission and face me at end of it or do nothing which would also make you face me at the end because you will be considered as a threat because of what Marley did to you even if you're neutral on the matter. But, I suppose I didn't make that quite clear, though, I personally hoped that you would make the right decision for yourself." Naruto paused, standing up straight in front of Annie.
"From this day onward, you are no longer a warrior of Marley, nor a lone soldier. Today, you are what you want yourself to be, you have truly become Annie Leonhart, a unique young woman that should dream big for her future and not the weapon you were made to be." Naruto said before placing his right hand atop her soft hair.
"Remember this day Annie Leonhart, today, you have become one of my precious students." He patted her head before giving her a friendly push on her back towards the training field.
"Now go, your official training starts today." He said to her with a smile as she walked away, unknowingly having a small smile on her face, a rare show of emotion from her.
"I'll try my best, Naruto-sensei… I'm Annie Leonhart after all…"
