Evilplankton: yeah sure, after all, one vote per chapter until the vote is called off, so do keep vote if you want xD/ So true, can't reject it.

FilthyCasual543: thanks man! and thanks for the vote.

Jeanne alter d'arc: thanks for the boost of confidence man!

Shining Batista: Haha yes, I'm really trying my best to make Naruto's personality as unique as possible/Because from my understanding, most ninja can only use space-time ninjutsu by using fuinjutsu. the only exception is that of mangekyo and rinnegan, both is not something Naruto have currently/ doesn't it? xD I really want this Naruto as monstrous as possible, though of course, he will lose large amount of speed to balance the power he get.

EROstrator: So true! they both really look alike, now that you talk about it, I also start to imagine Emden for some reason xD

bednarczykmiki: That's one of the reasons I made this story xD. idk why nobody write NarutoxAzurLane except some though, even though the story is great and the girls is hot.

Arcus Chevalier: thanks for the input! but nah, archer swords are so tiny compared to the swords Naruto wanted, he want power, so the size would be akin to that of Durandal from DXD (But I won't get a Durandal for him, as the sword is lean more toward magical in nature) as for guns, no, Naruto only need his riggings. and as the blacksmith have said before, ninja can throw anything faster than gunpowder can throw, which basically mean any firearms is child play to them.

Shirou Emiya1: xD, Its alright, just think positive, they probably just woke up when they read the chapter. I sometimes also like that too when I read someone's else story haha xD

Ghostly: So true, so true. but we must remember that Naruto lived in that world for all he can remember, thus he forgot to call those girls as shipgirls instead of warships and also forgot that the people in this world have different understanding of [warship], seeing since he born, calling their race as 'shipgirls' are no longer possible, with him being male and all.

basically said, their race was called as 'shipgirls' back in the days before he born.

years later, the name isn't used anymore since Naruto refused to be called as 'girl'. and because the others already respected him by this time, they choose to change the name of their race.

as for kansen, it mean [艦船] Which mean [Ship] in japanese, so it's not wrong if I called them [warship] you see?

Kreceir: Haha, it's alright, Naruto merely showed Inochi the dark side of the Azur Lane to scare him, so it's not like they know everything.

Clown Exorcise: xD, I did use beta reader called grammarly (a free one, considering I have no money to rent the premium), and I do think my story is somewhat readable, thus I don't see which part that make it hard to read.

shahhxuxhx: Is that so? xD. perhaps he does, perhaps he doesn't. we probably won't know with Naruto himself isn't that curious about such a thing,

ANYWAY...

that's all for the answer to the reviews, and thanks you all for voting, and I think this chapter will be the last chapter that the vote will active, because I'm considering to let the glimpse of [Commander] show in the chapter 6 (You know, with the five where I pulled the votes so I can use it on six and all).

so, with that, happy read...


Chapter 4

The Graduation


XXX (Start) XXX

It's been few months since Naruto woke up in this stupid, rundown village.

And let just say, he learned so much in such little times.

Nara's shadow manipulation.

Akimichi's size manipulation.

Yamanaka's mind based techniques.

And even Inuzuka's beast-like fighting style.

Sad, but these four is the only hidden techniques he could learn from his classmates, while the other clan heirs had their Ninja's 'thingies' from their blood.

For example, the cute girl beside him called Hinata with her bloodline, Bayku-or something like that.

Sad, but he just can't copy their bloodlines.

And even more unfortunately his so-called rival whose hasn't awakened his Sharijan thing.

So weak…

"Youuuuuth!"

In the morning, Naruto once again runs around the village with his real rival, Lee.

Each step he took left a crack from how heavy he was, though he simply didn't care about such a simple thing.

Few months ago, he told Lee that he got his weight bands, six of them, and each weight doubled amount of the green boy's weight band.

For the first time since Naruto met him, he saw the green boy left speechless.

It was then, that Lee said that despite he easily taking on four thousand pounds for each leg, he also raise the weight by hundred pounds for each month he passed.

A mere hundred pounds?

That just…

When Naruto heard it, in the end, Naruto merely nodded.

The green boy might be a monster compared to the other humans around his age. Nonetheless, he's still a human.

He can't expect a human of all things to be able to do what he did.

He hoped too much.

Fortunately, Lee didn't easily give up and even gained more fires of determination in his eyes.

Naruto gives the boy some more of his respect that day…

.

.

"NARUTOOOOOOOOOO!"

Iruka's scream through the village rang as Naruto simply drink a cup of hot tea while reading the book in his hands.

Just what with the man now?

True, today he supposedly take the exam just like the others from his class.

But he doesn't want to…

Why?

True, at first he wanted to graduate because he felt so annoyed by his past self that kept failing such a simple test… three times!

But after he was told what graduate meant, he found himself widening his eyes.

If he graduates… he would become a ninja.

And if he becomes a ninja, he will be a subordinate of the Hokage and must obey the man's every order.

There's no way Naruto can accept that.

Only one human may order him around, and that is his dear commander.

Not some stupid old ninja.

'Such a nice weather I have today'

"NARUTOOOOOOOO!"

Naruto ignores Iruka and the few Anbus sent to also look for him.

For all they know, he's a ghost right now.

With his body's composition, it's easy for him to control his energies and minimalize the amount of chakras he pours out, leading none of those ninjas able to find him unless he's standing right in front of them.

Ninjas have supernatural abilities and techniques.

Him?

He has them too, along with his technologies.

So, really…

Today is such a good day to read some books.


-Later-

"N-Naruto-kun"

He's able to hide his chakra, his presence, and even his whole existence by hiding in the crowd naturally.

But for the love of his commander, this girl was able to find him every time she want to.

Hinata…

"Sup, Hina"

The girl's cheeks were painted pink as Naruto greeted her back with a small nod.

And knowing that it was basically him permitting her to sit, Hinata took a seat across of him.

And in front of her, Naruto is back to read his book, ignoring the girl currently staring at him.

"W-Why d-didn't you take the exam?"

When Naruto took a glance at her for a little bit, Naruto noticed the new headband snugly wrapped on her neck.

It looks good on her.

"I refuse to let myself be ordered around by a human"

Whether this feeling came from his Siren's blood or just because of his past, Naruto is still honest with himself.

He hates humans.

Some may be exceptions and he could tolerate them, but that's it.

No more, no less.

He'll tolerate them.

But demanding him to enter an army without even asking for his consent? Now that's rude.

If not for the few humans he took interest in, Naruto probably won't let this rundown village stand for any longer and would simply destroy them with a nuke.

Not that he has any nuke or the ingredients to make one.

But yes, he would still try to destroy this village nonetheless, be it with nuke or with his chakra guns.

It's so fortunate this village has people like Lee and Hinata.

"I-I see"

For Hinata, Naruto has changed so much ever since he has awoken.

He's cold, ambitious and most of all, he no longer hides his pain with his beautiful, yet fake smiles.

If she can be honest with herself, Hinata feels scared when it came to the current him.

He just went 180 to her, after all.

But despite this, she found herself getting mesmerized by current him.

He's like a magnet that keeps pulling her despite her constant struggles.

"… Are you going to read or what?"

After Hinata stared at him for a few minutes, Naruto in the end chose to say that, which broke the girl from her stupor and quickly gained even more red on her cheeks.

"Y-Yes!"

With red cheeks full of embarrassment, Hinata took a single, but rather thick book from her bag and start to read it.

Though every few seconds, she would take a peek at Naruto, which the boy took notice of, but rather uncaring.

Her cheeks became red every time she stared at him… she's just like ark royal in that regard.

Nothing new for him.

And thus, in Naruto's mind, Hinata has become a second Ark Royal.

A pervert.


-Later-

It was a few hours later that Iruka in the end found his location.

His face is red from exhaustion and frustration, even more so when he took notice of Hinata that currently sitting across from Naruto.

Pant

Pant

"Naruto… why didn't you attend the exam?"

Behind Iruka is Dog, probably the person that helped the man to search for him for the past few hours.

Order from Hokage probably.

Meh.

"I decide to not become a ninja"

Quick, precise, and simple. Something that has become his motto since he hates complicated things.

And hearing his words, Iruka widens his eyes, along with Dog.

"B-But, it's your dre-"

"Wrong"

Clap

Naruto cut off the man's words easily, followed by him closing the book in his hands.

There's no way he can continue to read with the two probably going to interrupt his nice and silent moment.

"My dream is to become the strongest so that I won't lose anyone else. Becoming a ninja will definitely burden me, so I refuse"

He already has a pass to read the books on the highest floor of the library, which supposedly can only be entered by those of Jonin and above.

There's no more reason for him to become a ninja and get his movement restricted.

"…"

And after he said this, Kakashi and Iruka became silent.

The current Naruto and the past Naruto is just too different that they can't help but think they're different person altogether.

Well, one is Naruto Uzumaki that had a dream to become a Hokage and the strongest ninja ever.

While this one is Naruto, the vice-commander of so-called Azur Lane, who has fought several wars and lost many people precious to him.

Now that they think again, the two are the same.

This is just Naruto after he has more experience and lost his naivety.

"If you understand, please be gone... I want to continue on my read about this Sannin thing"

Naruto raises his book a little bit to show the two that he's indeed holding the book titled [Journey of three legendary Ninjas].

Seeing this, Dog is the first one to step back, and after he bowed a little to Naruto, he flickered off.

Iruka however, still staring at him with a face full of melancholy.

"Naruto… I… I know you love reading, but would you like to eat ramen together with me? I'll pay"

There's a twinge of sadness in the man's voice.

And with his eyes, Naruto easily saw that the man's eyes were almost in tears.

Taking notice of this, Naruto let out a small sigh inwardly, but outwardly, he chose to nod.

He doesn't care about the man. But the man truly cares for him.

"Of course, let's go Hina. Unless you don't like ramen"

He ate the food already several times in the domain of the Sakura Empire. And while the taste was a little bit too salty for his tongue, he did find himself taking a liking to the food.

When he ate the food, he felt as if he have found solaces.

It was a mystery to him and his dear Commander.

Perhaps now… he would know why he took a liking to the food despite his tongue think said food as a simple salty dish.

"I-I like them too!"

Once she realize that Naruto already packing up, Hinata shuttered a little and start to pack her things too.

And after she's done, the three walk away from the location.


-Later-

"Normal, I guess"

Finished his bowl of ramen, Naruto clasped his palms together and said his thanks for the food.

It was one thing among everything he learned from his late sister, Amagi.

"Ahaha! It was rare of you to only ate one bowl, Naruto!"

Across from him, Naruto saw the man with a face full of a kind smile.

It wasn't the ramen.

Naruto thought to himself the first time he saw this man across from him.

"… I'm full"

"Impossible! You should be able to eat at the very least five more bowls. Don't be shy now, it's on the house. Just treat it as my congratulation for you getting out of the hospital, okay!?"

The man called Teuchi laughed loudly and happily then, and without even waiting for Naruto to answer, he went to the back once again to make five more bowls for him.

"…"

Gently, Naruto merely nodded.

His mind doesn't remember anything, but his body does.

He remembers feeling cold, as if without any blanket or any cover in the middle of snow and rain.

And then…warmth.

It was not the ramen.

It was Teuchi and his daughter, Ayame.

When he saw their faces for the first time, he remembers those warmth and melancholy feelings he felt every time he ate any kind of ramen back at the Sakura Empire.

Huh.

To think his mind would forget such nice humans.

Why?

Doesn't have any answer, Naruto let himself stare at the counter, and with a melancholy look… he smiled.

Whatever the reason is… he doesn't want to remember it.

"…"

As ninjas, Iruka and Hinata could only don slight sad smiles on their faces as they saw so many emotions from Naruto's expression alone.

He remembers.

But at the same time, he doesn't.

They don't know what it feels like, but it must be painful and frustrating.

But knowing Naruto probably doesn't want his thinking time interrupted, they just gave him their silent support.

.

..

.

"N-Naruto-kun, are you going to train again?"

After Iruka went home and left Naruto and Hinata alone, Hinata asked that before they went separate ways.

And taking a look at her, Naruto went silent for a little bit.

He has several things clouding his mind.

"I guess? But I think I'll go to the library… there's something I want to read"

Yeah, with his current state of mind, it would be bad for him to train physically.

Not bad as in bad.

But it would definitely be a waste of time.

And he doesn't want to waste any times he has.

"I see, t-then tomorrow, m-may I join your morning training w-with Lee-san?"

Huh?

Morning training?

How did she know about that little information?

Staring at Hinata's reddening face ( probably because she blurted that information) Naruto in the end realize…

This Hinata is not only pervert like Ark Royal.

But she's also a stalker, just like the ship girl in question.

Were Hinata is Ark Royal's counterpart on this world or something like that?

Oh well.

"Sure, don't be late"

"Y-Y-Yes!"

And after she said that, Hinata ran away, so fast that Naruto can't see anything except the dust she left.

And thus, Naruto blinked.

That's one difference.

Unlike Ark Royal that has no shame for her perverted attitude, Hinata seems to be very shy and very embarrassed if someone took notice of her tendencies.

"…"

Shrug

Uncaringly, Naruto merely shrugged off his shoulders.

Back then, he also had some stalkers, like Ark Royal, Akagi, Kaga, and some other ship girls.

Having one in this world is not something that could shock him.

Let's forget about something unnecessary for now.

Turning his feet, Naruto then walks to the direction of the library.


-Later-

.

..

Why is it so hard to get a peaceful time alone?

Naruto was reading for a few hours when a few unknown ANBUs gathered around him.

Their masks… are blank.

"… What do you want?"

Turned a page, Naruto simply ignores the four strange ANBUs around him and keep reading.

He has a feeling that none of them are subordinates under the Hokage, but doesn't want to conclude, he let these ANBUs talk first before he made his decision.

"Naruto Uzumaki, follow us. Our leader wants to meet you, comply or we will use force"

"Sure"

They are enemies.

He concludes after he heard their words.

But they also say leader, and thus, he wastes no time to agree on their demand.

When the enemy invites you to their base, what would you do?

Accept of course.

That way, you can wipe them out from existence with one move.

"…"

The four ANBUs are confused. But as the boy himself closed the book in his hands and stood, they nodded.

Their order is to bring him to their leader.

If he refuses to comply, then they are allowed to use force.

"Good choice, follow me"

.

.

..

They're using a tunnel.

And the tunnel itself is rather long, so much that Naruto is pretty sure that he's no longer in Konoha.

Such a neat way to create a base.

Step step step

With their running speed, Naruto calculated that they would reach fifty kilometers away from Konoha in a few more minutes.

Huh, such a long tunnel.

.

..

"Welcome, Jinchuriki"

The man is rather tall, with bandages covering more than half of his body.

Though it didn't hide the rather strong aura coming out from him.

But still…

"You're ugly as fuck"

Naruto is a blunt person.

If he calls you ugly, then you're ugly in his eyes. And if he calls you pretty, then you're pretty in his eyes.

This man is ugly, and thus, Naruto called him ugly.

"… What?"

The man became speechless from such bluntness. But then, he coughed several times into his fist.

Something that Naruto ignores.

His scanner already scanned the whole base and counted several hundred grunts spreading, but a hundred in this room alone, hiding.

His guns?

They're out and cloaked.

And of course, also fully loaded.

When did he load them? When else if not when he ran just now?

"I said you're ugly… but then again…"

Like an illusion broken, large, nine nightmarish riggings then shows themselves.

Each of them shining with red and blue as Naruto already fully loaded them with his and Kyuubi's chakras.

The ugly man?

He became uglier as fear overtook his face.

"… Thanks for the invitation"

BOOOOOOMM!

.

..


-with Danzo-

It is supposedly easy.

The tunnel isn't something known even to old ninja like Hiruzen.

And so, Danzo ordered his men to go to the Konoha to grab the Jinchuriki when the night came.

His order was simple.

'Ask him to follow you, if he refuses, knock him out, fast'

Why ask first?

Because there's a small possibility of the boy becoming angry and leaking Kyuubi's chakra if they took him by force first.

Kyuubi chakra will make Hiruzen's men moves like sharks smelling blood.

Thus, when he got the information of the Jinchuriki complying with their request, Danzo let a small smile adorned his face.

.

..

"Welcome, Jinchuriki"

He stood, watching the boy that he would mold into the perfect soldier in the next minutes.

His chakra is big, enormous even!

It felt as if he was going to unleash a large attack!

But it's impossible, it was just Jinchuriki being Jinchuriki.

They have an enormous chakra output even without trying to use it… that's why it would be a waste to let the boy stay with someone as peaceful as Hiruzen.

But then, the boy said something outside of his expectation.

"You're ugly as fuck"

What?

"What?"

Not, where I am?

What do you want?

Etc, etc?

The first words the boy spoke is not a question, but a statement.

A statement calling him ugly!

Anger would've clouded Danzo's mind if he was not a perfect ninja, a perfect shadow.

And thus, with a calmness befitting a shadow like him, Danzo stares down at the boy under the stairs.

"I said you're ugly… but then again…"

It was then, that Danzo found himself shivered and filled with dread as nine, nightmarish weapons came out from the boy's back like some kind of illusion.

But it's not!

With his Sharingan, it's impossible for him to get caught inside illusion technique.

And most of all, why would those weapons glowing like a la-

"… thanks for the invitation"

Shit.

BOOOOOOOOOOMM!

He didn't get any time to do anything as his body, his base, and all of his subordinates get erased from existence altogether.

And thus, Danzo died.


-With Naruto-

"Nice firework"

Naruto stood alone in a single surviving platform.

Around him, crater miles in size are visible.

Plant, rock, animal, and human, none survives the explosion when Naruto decided to shoot his guns, not upward, but downward.

'Fortunately, the destruction is only a few miles and no more than that'

The boy thought innocently as he start to look around.

Few pieces of debris show a sign of the human population, but he doesn't feel anything as he stares at those.

Yeah, fortunate.

… if there's any Kage that heard his thought, they probably would start coughing blood from his humble attitude.

Then again, he was being honest.

Nine of his riggings shot together is as strong as few nukes exploding together.

A single nuke can easily destroy a country.

This tiny crater?

It just him playing around.

Sad to say, but a warship from the other world is basically a war god in this world.

Thinking like this, Naruto let himself fall backward until he's laying his back on the cold ground.

One of his palms went upward as if he want to catch the moon.

But his eyes, for the first time he arrived on this world, Naruto stare at his left-hand's ring finger… staring at the bare finger with sadness etching on his face.

'Commander… I'll return to your side, I promise'

'So please… wait for me'

As Naruto think like this, he let his riggings cloaked once again while protecting his main body.

And thus, he sleeps, uncaring of the coldness of the ground.


-With Hiruzen-

"What is he doing now?"

Hiruzen was forced to awake when he saw such a huge explosion happening far, far away from the Konoha.

Now, usually, he won't care about such a thing. But considering one of his sensory Ninjas said that he sensed Kyuubi's chakra from that location, Hiruzen thus is forced to run to the place with his battle armor on.

Behind him, a few squads of ANBU is following him.

.

..

.

"I don't want to comment anymore"

Crater around a few meters in size? Sure, he can accept that.

Naruto that came back from another world altogether as he was in a coma? Sure, a bit far-fetched, but can't say anything considering Inoichi got the proof of it.

Now…

Few miles of a crater?

He don't want to comment, not at all.

So he better finish this and goes back to his sleep so that he can continue to read Icha-Icha paradise tomorrow.

Of course, a few miles is not a little, so he needs to run at the very least an hour before he can reach the middle of it.

And when he did reach the middle of the crater, Naruto is there, sleeping peacefully as if uncaring of the destruction happening around him.

Then again, why should he care? Considering he was the one who did this.

"ANBU, search around… I want to know just what did Naruto-kun destroyed this time"

"Sir"

And as the squads of ANBUs spread, Hiruzen walked toward Naruto until he felt something blocking him from getting near.

clang

Huh, so this is Naruto's riggings in their cloaking state?

clang

clang!

"My boy, wake up"

Knocking on the boy's invisible metal riggings, Hiruzen got no answer except a few mumbles from the boy in front of him.

Which made him sweat dropped a little.

"Naruto, you have class tomorrow!"

"… Mnn, fuck class, give my homework to Nimi"

Of course, this time, after he mumbled that, Naruto rubbed his eyes several times and yawned, as if still in between sleeping and waking up.

Though, not long after that, the boy sit and gave Hiruzen a small and dry glare for interrupting his sleep.

"… What do you want, old man?"

The boy said as he stand and waved his right hand to the side ( probably recalling his riggings, but Hiruzen isn't sure).

Of course, hearing the question pointed at him, Hiruzen coughed into his fist.

Cough

"I'm wondering what did you destroy this time…"

"Just a base of strange ANBU"

ANBU?

The boy just destroyed a base of hidden ANBU?

Which ANBU though?

Dread filled Hiruzen's mind from the chance of Naruto destroying the base of ANBU from other Nations without even knowing.

"W-Which ANBU, my boy?"

"Idk and idc"

.

What's that?

What is this idk and idc he's talking about?

Perhaps seeing his confused face, Naruto in the end let out a small sigh of exasperation.

"It mean I don't know and I don't care"

And after he said that, Naruto ignores him altogether and starts to walk in the direction of Konoha.

Probably to continue his sleep, but with this new Naruto, Hiruzen isn't so sure.

"Anbu! Have you found something!?"

With such debris, Hiruzen won't be shocked if his ANBU won't find anything for a few hours.

But he only needs one, a simple thing to calm his hea-

"Hokage-sama! I've found a blank mask here!"

Blank?

ANBU with blank masks?

ROOT

"YES! HAHAHAHA!"

Perhaps he's being crazy, but Hiruzen still happy that it wasn't ANBU from other Nations that Naruto has destroyed.

Maybe it's from the lack of sleep or just because he's getting senile. but, Hiruzen forget that they're still within the border of fire Nation, and thus, it would be alright if Naruto were to destroy an ANBU base from another country.


-Tomorrow-

"Yosh! Are we going to start or what, my rival!?"

Right in the morning, Naruto is wearing his simple tracksuit and currently doing some warm-ups.

Of course, his rival doesn't seem to be that patient.

"I've told you, someone from my class wants to join our morning routine… let's just wait for another-"

"I-I-I'm here!"

In the middle of his sentence, Naruto saw Hinata appear from the direction of her compound, wearing a rather thick jumpsuit, white in color.

Why does she keep using such thick attire, Naruto doesn't know, but at the very end of the day, doesn't care.

"Good, let us start with one hundred laps around Konoha like usual"

Naruto said, and not a second later, he sprinted using his full speed, followed by Lee and surprisingly also Hinata.

Huh, she wasn't shocked?

Oh right, she has been stalking him. So, of course, she would know the routine.

That's good for him, considering it meant he won't need to baby her.

"I concur, let's start with one hundred and fifty laps today"

He said, getting fires on Lee's eyes, and hard determination on Hinata's eyes.

Good.

It seems he can give her some respect just as he does with Lee.

Humans are fragile beings, this is the cold hard truth.

But some refuse this truth and pushed their bodies to the limit to break the limitation placed on them.

His Commander is one of such humans, and he adores her for that.

And now, in this world, he found two more humans with redeeming qualities in their hearts.

.

..

.

A few hours later, both Lee and Hinata already walked away to go to their respective training grounds.

Lee to train with her squad and Hinata to do another exam given by her squad teacher.

Naruto?

He feels bored and decides to go to his private training ground, the forest of death ( he decided this yesterday on a whim after he read a book about said forest).

But…

"What are you doing, human?"

"Oi, oi, that should be my question, kid. What are you doing in my turf, being civilian and all?"

Naruto can't enter.

Just as he wanted to go to the forest using the door in the fence like any civilized person, this female with perking nipples appears in front of him with chiding looks on her face.

The hell.

Why doesn't she cover up more?

Doesn't she realize her body is currently feeling cold because her chest isn't covered by anything except mesh armor?

"Your nipples showing through, woman"

Why oh why Naruto's life filled with perverts left and right, he doesn't know.

But for fuck sake, he's a healthy fifteen years old boy.

Well, nineteen considering warship like him only being a baby for a few months, and thus, his mental state is stable enough when he reaches six months or so, unlike human that only start remembering when they reach four, or even five years old in some case.

Yeah, he may be fifteen to warship, but to human, his mental state is that of nineteen years old.

Why do you think his dear Commander proposed to him, huh?

It was simply because he was at the right age as both warship and human.

"Oh…"

Looking down, the vulgar woman notices that indeed, her nipples are peeking through her thin mesh armor, giving the boy in front of her a free treat.

Though, instead of being embarrassed, the woman merely smiled, like how a cat that just ate a canary.

"Aren't you a bit too young to think about such a vulgar thing, boy~?"

Hearing the woman's teasing tone, Naruto merely snorted and pushed her face away with his hand.

"I'm far older than you think, woman. Your seduction won't work on me"

As he said this, Naruto decided to circle the woman and keep walking to the forest of death.

Ha! Who does she think she is?

He has lived his life seeing females on both left and right, front and back.

Compared to Graf Zeppelin, the woman lacks so many things that Naruto desire from a love interest, so her attempt at seduction is giving him a headache at most.

Commander? Yeah, his dear commander is also not that gifted when it comes to the body. But, it is different.

Because when it came to her, Naruto fell in love not because of her body, but because of her dedication and never give up attitude.

"Oi! Are you really going to enter!? Don't come back crying if you met some wild beast, okay!?"

Hearing the perverted woman's voice from behind him, Naruto decides to snort lightly.

Human, meh.

They keep amusing him left and right if he can be honest.


-Later-

Behind his desk, Hiruzen is doing his usual job, which is to stamp some important document about last night's 'explosion'.

Officially, it would be treated as some misfire of S-rank Jutsu, but it has no casualties and thus won't matter because the user of said Jutsu has promised to never use it in a populated area.

Yes, Naruto never promised anything, but if what Inoichi saw about his past is correct, Naruto won't be antagonistic toward Konoha as long no one provokes him first.

"Hokage-sama! Do you have a mission for me!? I kinda lack funds right now"

Wryly, Hiruzen smiled when a rather scantily clad woman barged through his door with a large grin on her face.

The grin reminds him of Naruto in the past.

'Which meant the saying is true I guess… the one hurt the most, smile the brightest'

"Anko, how nice of you to come, and yes, I have some good missions for you. Also, is there any matter about the forest of death that I need concern with?"

Just like Naruto, Anko has been a pariah throughout her life and literally has no one except a small circle of friends to lean on.

The rent people refuse to rent their apartment to her, and thus, Hiruzen has let her to make a house in the safe zone of the forest of death.

In exchange, she must give him a daily report about the forest of death's beasts' activity and whether he needs to send a squad of ANBU to exterminate the overpopulated kind of beast or not.

"Nah, everything's good today. Though just minutes ago, a boy went inside, he should be afraid to go deeper by now after he saw a large cockroach"

Anko finished with a rather carefree shrug of her shoulders.

The outer part of the forest of death is mostly filled with non-dangerous large creatures like huge cockroaches, and considering the boy's muscle mass and weak-looking body, he should be afraid and run back to his house by now.

"… a boy?"

Softly, Hiruzen asked Anko.

His hand that just now wanted to stamp on another document paused in the air from the shock he feels.

Not really shock per se, but…

"Yeah, blond hair, blue eyes, and using a black tracksuit for attire"

Anko responded while waving her hand uncaringly.

Honestly, she was rather shocked by the fact a growing boy didn't respond to her tease, but as she thought he probably is yet to reach age, she merely shrugged her shoulders.

At such young age, yet daring himself to enter the forest of death among all locations.

If nothing else, Anko gave the mysterious boy a point for his daring attitude.

"ANBU!"

"SIR!"

Hiruzen can't help but scream, knowing Anko's explanation is basically a rip of the book of Naruto's overall appearance.

Of course, his private ANBUs, the ones who followed him since last night's fiasco quickly appear across his desk, sweat trailing on the side of their masks.

"You know what to do. Go to the forest of death and tell Naruto to not destroy it. Forbid him from using his stupidly destructive power!"

"Yes sir!"

As the squad of ANBU flickers away with their impressive speed, Hiruzen leans his back against his seat, all the while rubbing his head from the incoming headache.

Of course, across from him, Anko starts to sweat nervously but is also confused.

"H-Hokage-sama?"

Sigh

"Let's just hope Naruto-kun is yet to let out his riggings, Anko… because if he does, then I guess you're going to sleep under a bridge for a few days"

"A-Ahahaha"

Not understand, but definitely know that Hiruzen never jokes around like this with her, Anko merely laughed nervously while scratching the back of her head.

For fuck sake.

Who is that boy!?


The current voting pool is...

Harem: 30

Single : 3

Commander:

Kurumi (Date a live): 18

Oda Nobunaga (Fate): 21

.

Just as I said above, this chapter will be the last chapter for voting.

Oda is leading, but Kurumi seem want to chase after her xD

forgive me if I have some grammatical errors in my typing, both in my reviews answer and here (you see, in my place, its night and I'm losing focus, and sleepy xD)

anyway...

Harem is inevitable, just like Thanos.

but for those who want Kurumi to be commander, don't forget to votes and those who want Oda, don't let Kurumi bypass you xD

ahaha... so sleepy

anyway,,, night guys!

Ciao~z
