Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Naruto, Satsuki, and Itachi heading towards the Temujin Continent and the place they'll be arriving in is…Piltover! That's right we'll be seeing "Arcane", so there will be some spoilers for those that haven't watched it (if you haven't do so, it's an amazing show), we'll also be seeing some changes with their presence. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Not long after Naruto, Satsuki and Itachi had gotten on the boat while learning that it was heading towards the Temujin Continent. A continent that seemed to be locked in a state of constant costly wars after famine, disease and overpopulation wiped out over a quarter of its population nearly a hundred years ago. Luckily, they also learned that the ship wasn't heading for the main continent, instead going to an island just off the coast of it.
Specifically, they were heading to the Land of Peace, one of the few nations that has avoided conflict with the other countries. Preferring to instead work on improving their own technological advancements. With their destination being the capital of the Land of Peace, Piltover, known as the City of Progress.
Though at the moment, Naruto and Satsuki sat across from Itachi in their room, both children now getting impatient on finally getting some answers on what happened.
"Enough stalling, Itachi. Tell us, why…why did you kill everyone? Why were you going to kill Tou-san and Kaa-san?! Why did those Anbu try to kill us and try to capture Naruto?!" Satsuki demanded while shouting at the end as she looked close to crying again at remembering what happened.
"And what did they mean by experiments performed on me?" Questioned Naruto while putting a hand on Satsuki's shoulder as Itachi sighed in resignation since he'd been hoping to put this off until they reached the Land of Peace.
In fact, he'd been putting it off for the past two weeks since leaving Konoha, knowing he needed to tell them both why he did what he did, but also still not wanting to. Part of him had even been tempted to simply knock both children unconscious and leave them somewhere safe. Let them come to their on conclusion, one that'd end in Satsuki seeking revenge against him. But knew that wouldn't work as they'd still try to find answers about the ROOT Anbu, which would lead them to learning the truth anyway. So, as much as he didn't want to, Itachi knew he needed to tell them the full truth.
"I…I was ordered to, by Konoha's higherups. I was given the task to exterminate the Uchiha Clan in order to prevent a coup d'état." Revealed Itachi, much to Naruto's and Satsuki's shock.
"Wh-what? N-no, no, no, no! That's not true, they wouldn't do that!" Satsuki muttered before shaking her head, refusing to believe her clan would plan a coup against Konoha.
"It's the truth. It's one that the Uchiha had been planning not long after the Kyūbi Attack and they were moved to the outskirts of the village. Many believed and blamed the Uchiha Clan for the Kyūbi Attack, since it's known that the Sharingan can be used to control the Kyūbi, so the village believed an Uchiha was behind the attack. It lead to a divide between the Uchiha Clan and the rest of Konoha, with it growing as time passed until several clansmen wished to stage a coup and take over, with Tou-san being the one who headed the plan. He wanted me in Anbu to get close to the Hokage and the Elders, to spy on them but I acted as a spy for Konoha, passing on information from meetings to the higher-ups. I had hoped for there to be a peaceful solution, but many of the clan refused, wanting to take over than accept peace and be under Konoha's control anymore. And so…I wiped them out myself, in order to prevent them from initiating a coup that'd have evolved into a civil war." Itachi explained, with both children looking at him in shock and horror.
"They…they were going to kill everyone…and you…you were spying on our family…for people that were going to kill us?!" Shouted Satsuki, glaring at Itachi with tear-filled eyes.
"It was for the good of the village and the rest of the Elemental Nations, if they had gone through with the coup it would have led to a civil war, one that the other nations would have seen a chance to attack causing another Great Ninja War that'd lead to even more death and destruction. But none of them cared, they only saw themselves as being in the right, that they could overthrow Konoha's leadership without any consequences." Itachi said in defense of the village.
"They were in the right." Stated Naruto, making Satsuki and Itachi look at him, seeing the Uzumaki was frowning and clenching his fists.
"I may not have known how the Uchiha Clan was treated or really knew any of them besides Satsuki, but I know what it's like to be treated like you don't belong, to be hated and alone. They'd be right to be angry and change things in the village, to actually make it better for them rather than be constantly pushed around. And everyone in charge in Konoha were the ones who pushed them to start a coup, moving them to the outskirts of the village, spying on them, not even trying to make things better for them with the rest of the village. And look at me, I thought I had the same power as the Shodaime Hokage, that I finally had something special to be acknowledged for and finally belong in the village. But instead, it's only because someone experimented on me that I have it, that Danzō guy that sent those Anbu after us. Not just that, but him and the Hokage, they took away my chance to have a family! They knew Satsuki's Kaa-san was my godmother and they kept her from raising me, they made sure I was alone!" Naruto said angrily, not having the highest opinion of those in charge in Konoha after what he learned and what happened.
"He's right, they wanted this to happen! They didn't care who was innocent or not, they just wanted the Uchiha Clan gone, including you and me! I had to watch Kaa-san be killed by Anbu, the same people that are supposed to protect everyone in Konoha, but instead they were going to kill us and capture Naruto! And Tou-san's probably dead too, since he never showed up at all! And I may not have known everything like them, but I've seen how the villagers treated members of the Police Force that were just doing their job, blaming them, and telling them to leave, acting like they were the criminals! Did they even try to talk with the clan or just have you and others spy on them?! Maybe they'd already decided to wipe them out and were just waiting for the perfect excuse and scapegoat, so they could keep their hands clean! And you gave them one!" Said Satsuki while glaring at her brother.
"I did what was necessary for Konoha as a whole. I've seen what happens during war, the violence, bloodshed, and death, all of it meaning nothing in the end. I never even wished to be a Ninja, to be another faceless killer, but I knew my needs were only a secondary concern What matter was ensuring the peace of Konoha and protecting it, no matter what. That's why I pushed myself as hard as I did, all I wanted was to be useful to someone else and do everything I could to make sure another war never happened. I didn't want it to come to killing everyone and did everything I could to find a more peaceful solution, but the only option that had the less bloodshed was massacring everyone. Everything I did was for the good of Konoha and making sure peace was maintained." Itachi explained, trying to get them to understand that the massacre had been necessary.
"And what about all those Crow Clones you sent out?! Sending them to enemy and unallied nations with Konoha's secrets and weaknesses?! How was that for the good of the village?!" Satsuki retorted, making Itachi flinch at what he'd done before leaving.
"That…that was a threat I intended to give to Danzō in order to keep him from going near you Satsuki, that if he did anything to you then all of Konoha's secrets would be exposed to enemy villages and nations. That had been our deal, he gave me the choice to either side with the Uchiha Clan and watch them all die anyway, including you, or side with Konoha and kill them myself, but you would be spared. But…with what he attempted, I went through with my threat and exposed Konoha's weaknesses and secrets. While everything I did was for the good of Konoha, it was also make sure you were protected, Satsuki. So you would believe the older brother you looked up to was a monster that never cared about you and would seek revenge for what I did." Said Itachi before Satsuki got up and went to the door before turning to give him one last glare.
"You say the massacre was meant to protect me, but the only thing you would have done is leave me alone! If I never met Naruto, I wouldn't have anyone! No family, no friends, nothing except revenge! The only thing you would have done is make me wish you just finished the job! But you're right about one thing, you are a monster!" Spat Satsuki before running out of the room, with Naruto following after her to make sure she was alright.
Itachi didn't try stopping them, knowing it'd only further push them away, before he went over to everything he had taken before leaving Konoha. Having also gone to the Senju Compound in order to gather everything there was on the Mokuton and Tobirama Senju's Water Style Ninjutsu, knowing Naruto would need the former it for his Mokuton. While knowing how useful the Nidaime's notes and techniques for Naruto's Water Affinity that'll come with the Mokuton. As well as having taken his father's journal, in the event Naruto and Satsuki didn't believe him about the coup and needed proof.
'There has to be something in here.' Thought Itachi going through the journal, hoping to try and find something to convince Satsuki and Naruto the massacre had been a necessary evil, only to freeze when he reached one of the final entries.
Shisui's death has changed things, many in the clan believe Itachi had killed him but I know it's not true, he would never willing kill a comrade, much less one he cherished like Shisui. But I know that Shisui would never be the type to kill himself either, his suicide note may be written in his own handwriting, but it wasn't written with the intent he would take his own life. I can only guess something happened that forced Shisui to destroy his own body, the emphasis on him destroying his eyes beforehand is likely to ensure no one tried finding them to use his Mangekyō Sharingan, or that someone had already attempted and likely succeeded in taking them. Something I hope I am wrong about with how dangerous his eyes could be in the wrong hands.
But I suppose in a way this can be a good thing, as now everyone in the clan believes there are no other Mangekyō Sharingan-users, having kept my own hidden as it would only encourage the rest of the clan to go through with the coup, as well as have me use my Sharingan to control the Kyūbi. And if Itachi had been there when Shisui died, there is a chance he has awakened the Mangekyō as well, but chooses to keep it hidden, a wise choice.
Though I wish there was another way, the clan is growing more restless each day and if I don't do something, I fear others will take matters into their own hands. All I can do is ensure this does not end in bloodshed. I may be able to speak with some of the other clan heads, explain things to them and see if they would be willing to support us, not in a civil war, but in convincing the Hokage and the Elders the Uchiha Clan are their allies. But I believe Itachi will be the one to ensure that peace between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan is achieved.
And should things go as I hope they do, then perhaps there will finally be an Uchiha Hokage, one I know who will do what's best for everyone.
Itachi dropped the journal as he shook, not believing what he just read.
'Tou-san…he kept his Mangekyō Sharingan hidden…from the rest of the clan, knowing what they'd want him to do? And he…he wished to ensure no bloodshed happened during the coup, for it to have a peaceful resolution? He…he believed I was the key to it and…he wanted me to become…Hokage?' Itachi thought in shock and disbelief before falling to his hands and knees.
The Uchiha soon breaking down at these revelations as the full impact of his actions hit him, that he had really massacred his own clan, intended to kill his own family, for nothing.
*With Naruto and Satsuki*
Meanwhile, Naruto and Satsuki head gone outside onto the ship's deck, looking out over the ocean, with the whiskered blonde not saying anything and simply sitting with his friend. Something that Satsuki was thankful for, not being in the mood to talk at the moment.
"What do you wanna do?" Naruto asked after a while, looking at the ravenette, wondering what she wanted to do now with what they just learned.
"I want to get away from Itachi, I can't be near him right now, maybe never again. I don't know where we'd go, but right now, all I want to do is get away and train to get stronger." Replied Satsuki, having no idea where they'd go, but knew she didn't want to be near Itachi wherever they were.
"Then we will, once we see land, then we can take one of the lifeboats and row there, along with taking some of the scrolls Itachi has so we'll be able to train ourselves. We can go in the middle of night, where no one will see us or realize we're gone. And by the time anyone does, we'll be far away." Naruto said, putting a hand on her shoulder, making Satsuki smile slightly and nod.
"Yeah, we will. And…I guess this will be good, seeing new places, with no one having any knowledge of who we are or where we come from. It'll really be a new start." Satsuki said, with Naruto nodding in agreement as they looked out at the ocean.
Both of them knowing that now they just had to wait for land to be in sight, before they can make their move to escape.
*Timeskip-Two Days*
Two days have passed since Naruto and Satsuki learned the truth behind the Uchiha Massacre, along with making their plan to escape the boat, with the two having been avoiding Itachi the entire time as well. With them now being ready to escape as they were passing close to Zaun, an undercity district near Piltover.
Once they were close enough, Naruto and Satsuki waited until Itachi left the room before sneaking in to take anything of value that'd prove useful. With the Uzumaki noticing the Mokuton and Water Chakra Manipulation scrolls that Itachi had also grabbed.
"Looks like I'll be able to learn to use my Mokuton much more quickly." Naruto stated while grabbing the scrolls, knowing they'll help him learn to use the Mokuton faster than just through trial-and-error.
"Good, that'll really be useful wherever we go." Said Satsuki while grabbing some scrolls on Fire Style Ninjutsu.
Once they had everything they wanted and could carry, the two children snuck out onto the deck and towards the lifeboats. Climbing into one and lowering it into the water before they began rowing towards Zaun, pleased that they wouldn't be seen by anyone with how dark it was.
"What do you think Zaun is like?" Satsuki asked, looking at Naruto as they rowed towards The Undercity.
"Well Piltover is called the City of Progress, but after looking between them, I don't think they've been keen on sharing that progress with Zaun." Naruto said, frowning as he looked between Piltover and Zaun, seeing how different they both looked.
The Uchiha nodded in agreement, guessing those in Piltover looked down on Zaun and the people who lived there.
Though suddenly an explosion went off, causing their boat to rock in the water, making Naruto and Satsuki hold on to avoid being thrown into the water. Before they looked at Zaun with wide eyes, seeing the explosion came from a warehouse, along with seeing like someone being blown away by it. Trading a look, the two began rowing even faster to see what happened and if anyone had been hurt by the explosion.
Reaching the shore, Naruto and Satsuki jumped out of the lifeboat and ran towards the warehouse, wondering what could have caused the explosion. Before they heard voices coming from an alley next to it, making them go to the voice, only to stop when they saw two young girls in the alley.
The first looked to be seven-years-old, with fair skin, short blue hair with several metal hairclips in it and tied in a short ponytail, and matching blue eyes. With her wearing dark purple boots with a dark blue interior, purple pants that were darker on the top half and lighter on the lower half, a dark purple belt with a few pouches and a piece of blue fabric tucked under it wrapped around her waist, a striped, purple shirt underneath a dark blue one, and strips of fabric wrapped around her forearms.
And the second girl looked to be twelve-years-old, with fair skin, dark pink hair that was slicked back while the left side was cut shorter than the rest, and blue eyes like the first girl, as well as having a VI tattooed under her left eye. With her attire consisting of dark magenta shoes, dark yellow formfitting pants underneath baggier dark magenta pants with three lighter magenta straps on the right pants leg, a white shirt underneath an off-white tank top, and a dark magenta vest with a lighter colored hood, with a brown leather pauldron sewn into it, bandages wrapped around her right forearm and hand, and a black fingerless glove on her left hand.
The fact that both of them were covered in soot, dirt, grime and in the older girl's case, blood, Naruto and Satsuki guessed they must have gotten caught in the explosion. Though when they saw the older girl suddenly say something before slapping the younger girl across the face and then grab her, it caused Naruto and Satsuki to run towards them.
"Hey!" Satsuki shouted, getting the older girls attention, just in time to have the Uchiha's fist slammed into her face knocking her back while Naruto went to the younger girl, who was now crying.
"Who the hell are you two?!" Demanded the girl as she got up and glared at them.
"Here's a better question, why are you attacking her?!" Retorted Satsuki, returning the glare.
"Because she did this! She got them killed with her stupid monkey bomb!" The girl shouted, with the blue-haired girls crying growing louder at her words.
"Violet! Violet, please! I only wanted to help! I only wanted to help!" Cried the younger girl, with Naruto and Satsuki guessing the older girls name was Violet.
"What's she talking about?" Naruto said while holding the younger girl as she cried in his arms.
"All of this is because of her, they're dead because she couldn't do what she was told! We came here to save Vander and we were going too! But then she got Mylo and Claggor killed, now Vander's dead too!" Yelled Violet while looking at Vander's body, how it was now mutated by the purple stuff.
With Naruto and Satsuki looking at the body, seeing how it looked deformed and mutated with purple veins, along with noticing a pair of broken and bloody goggles.
"Hey, hey it's alright. I'm sure you didn't mean for any of this to happen." Said Naruto to the blue-haired girl reassuringly.
"NO! NO I DIDN'T, I ONLY WANTED TO HELP! I ONLY WANTED TO HELP!" The girl cried while holding him tightly.
"It doesn't matter! You still caused this, because you're a jinx!" Violet said, before grunting when Satsuki punched her in the face again.
"Don't call her that! You're blaming an innocent girl for this when she just wanted to help?! When she obviously cares about you, enough to come here and risk her own life to help. Though if this is how you treat her, I don't know why! If she really caused this then it's just a mistake, one she didn't mean for to happen! She's breaking apart right now and probably blaming herself, then you hit her and act like she planned on doing this, making her feel even worse! Or are you going to say that that is someone who could intentionally hurt or kill anyone she cares about?!" Demanded Satsuki while pointing at the girl, making Violet look at her sister.
Only for her eyes to widen when she saw the pain and grief in her eyes, along with seeing blood dripping from her nose. The pinkette shakily looked at her hand to see fresh blood on it.
'Powder's…blood…' Thought Violet, realizing what she had just said and done to her own sister.
Looking back at them, Violet saw the glare Satsuki was giving her, Powder's broken and pleading look, and Naruto looking at her with narrowed eyes while comforting her sister. Unable to take the looks anymore, especially the pain in Powder's eyes, Violet walked past them while holding her injured arm.
"Vi! Vi, come back! Please come back! Please, Violet! I need you! Please!" Powder cried out to her sister, only for Vi to ignore her and keep walking.
Only stopping once she went around a corner and slumped against the wall, sliding down it until she was on the ground. With Vi soon crying as well, feeling regret, guilt and pain over what she did to Powder, but couldn't look at her sister.
While Powder cried helplessly in the Uzumaki's arms at seeing her sister leave her behind, with Naruto and Satsuki comforting.
"It's okay, everything will be okay, I promise." Said Naruto, rubbing her back gently to calm her down, with Satsuki wiping away her tears and bloody nose.
"You aren't alone either, we're still here. I'm Satsuki, Satsuki Uchiha and this is my friend Naruto Uzumaki. What's your name?" Satsuki asked gently, with Powder looking up at them tearfully.
"P-Po-Pow-Pow-Powder." Powder said tearfully.
"It's nice to meet you, Powder." Naruto said before he and Satsuki tensed when they heard approaching footsteps from behind them, making the two look to see who was coming.
The person being a man with fair skin, slicked back black hair, and his right eye being a normal pale blue color, while the left side of his face was heavily scarred and mutated with his eye being solid black with a misshapen golden-orange iris and black pupil. With him wearing brown boots, black dress pants, a red dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a black vest with gold trimming and a white tie.
What made Naruto and Satsuki tense was seeing him also holding a bloody knife in his hand.
While from her spot, Vi also noticed the person, her eyes widening at seeing it was Silco and that he was near her sister.
"Powder. Pow-" Vi muttered, quickly getting up and moved to go save her sister, only to suddenly be grabbed by someone from behind as something covered her mouth and nose.
"Shh. He'll kill you if he hears you. Come on, let's go." Said the person, Vi recognizing the muffled voice as an Enforcer wearing a gas mask.
Struggling against his hold to get to Powder, Vi soon felt herself growing tired until she soon slumped unconscious.
With Naruto and Satsuki shielding Powder as soon three more people showed up, with a large tattoo-covered man holding an unconscious woman in his arms. Neither of them sure who these people were or what their intentions were, before they watched as Silco knelt down in front of them.
"I don't recognize you two, but you, little girl. Where's your sister?" Silco said, wanting to know where Vander's little protégé was, with Powder looking up at him.
"She left me. She is NOT my sister anymore!" Said Powder in anger and sadness, making Silco's eyes widen slightly before looked behind them to see Vander's body, mutated by the Shimmer.
'Farewell, brother.' Silco thought as a lone tear leaked from his mutated eye before turning his attention to the three children while dropping his knife.
Naruto and Satsuki tensed when Silco reached out towards them, only to relax when he patted Powder on the back and hugged her.
"It's okay." Said Silco in a surprisingly gentle tone, knowing the feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by a sibling.
"We'll show them. We will show them all." Silco swore.
"Who…who are you?" Questioned Naruto, with Silco looking at three children.
"My name is Silco, and I recognize the pain of betrayal and abandonment. If you three wish it, you may join me and I'll ensure you never feel such pain again." Said Silco, giving them the chance to join him, feeling these three will his greatest allies.
Naruto and Satsuki looked at each other before turning to Powder, who's eyes were red and filled with tears, along with containing anger and sadness. Emotions they've become very familiar with recently and knew she'd need those who could help her.
Before the three nodded at Silco, accepting his offer and taking his hand, the man nodding as they all took their leave out of the burning warehouse.
*Later-Piltover*
Meanwhile, the ship had soon docked at Piltover with all the passengers departing, including Itachi, who had a downcast expression. Having returned to the room only find some of the scrolls he'd taken were missing, including the Mokuton and Nidaime's Water Chakra Manipulation ones. Realizing that Naruto and Satsuki must have taken them, with Itachi immediately going around and searching the entire ship, hoping he could stop before they could try leaving.
Only to find out a lifeboat had been taken, much to his sadness that he was too late and likely wouldn't be finding them anytime soon. Given how close the ship had been to land, they could have easily gotten to Piltover much sooner or avoided it entirely to instead go out into the wilderness. Either way, Itachi couldn't leave to try and find them, forcing him to stay on the boat until it docked.
'I'm sorry Satsuki, Naruto. But I'll try to find you both and try to make-up for what I've done.' Itachi mentally swore, wanting to find them both to make it up to them for everything.
He just hoped they were in Piltover, somewhere.
*Timeskip-Five Years*
Five years have passed since Naruto, Satsuki and Powder had been taken in by Silco, joining his organization in taking control of Zaun. With Silco having regrouped his followers after the explosion at the warehouse, managing to bring others to his side with Vander now gone. As well as having brought the other leaders in The Undercity under his command. All of them joining Silco willingly, believing he had what it takes to run Zaun and ensure it thrived.
Which Silco did, with him setting up Shimmer plants throughout Zaun, producing Shimmer and then smuggling it to other cities and lands for profit. Something that was made easier by having the new Sheriff of Piltover, Marcus, under his control. But Silco knew the real improvements came once Naruto, Satsuki, and Powder began growing and learning.
With the Uzumaki and Uchiha having not hidden where they came from or their Chakra, something that amazed and excited Powder, while Silco was intrigued at seeing what they could do. Even more so at learning what they would be capable of with training. Something Naruto and Satsuki had been doing ever since they were taken in by the crime boss. Going through all the scrolls they'd taken and learning all the Jutsu they could from them.
Though one Jutsu they had taken proved to be incredibly useful for Naruto, with it being the Shadow Clone Jutsu, one that created physical clones of the user along with being very Chakra consuming. But thanks to Naruto's Chakra Reserves, he was able to create hundreds, if not thousands, of clones. With the most useful part being that anything a clone learned was transferred back to the original, when they were dispelled.
The Jutsu helping Naruto immensely with his training, though he'd been restricted to using a limited amount of clones by Silco. Who while seeing the usefulness behind it, he could also see the danger if too much information was suddenly forced into the whiskered blonde's head. With Naruto being allowed to use twenty clones for his training, though would be able to use more once he could handle the information feedback.
But even with the limited amount of clones, Naruto was able to train in learning to use his Mokuton, first having to master his Water and Earth Affinities as well as working on his Chakra Control. With him having three groups of five clones working on his Chakra Control and two affinities, while the last five he had them work on Fūinjutsu. Having seen some scrolls on it in among the ones Itachi had taken, something that interested Naruto enough to grab them to start learning Fūinjutsu.
As for Satsuki, while she was unable to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu at the moment, despite having above average Chakra Reserves, her Sharingan also helped her with her training. With the Uchiha focusing on learning the Fire Style Ninjutsu she took, improving her Taijutsu, and beginning to learn Genjutsu.
And Powder, though recently she's wanted to be called Jinx, improved her mechanical skills to build her gadgets and weapons. The bluenette being very happy when Naruto created Shadow Clones for her to test them on, even better when they would transform into people that annoyed her. Making her all the more excited to blow them up or shoot them. Having finally managed to get her bombs and grenades to work, without the crystals she stole. Jinx had also taken to naming her weapons, calling her grenade Chompers due to putting metal teeth on them, and a pistol she made called Zapper. With her also intending to make a giant gatling gun she planned to call Pow-Pow.
Naruto and Satsuki had also begun training Jinx in hand-to-hand combat, so she didn't grow overly reliant on her weapons and end up helpless without them or if someone gets in close to her. Jinx proving to be rather quick and agile, along with able to hear things no one else could and react to attacks she normally wouldn't be able to see.
It was after four years that Naruto had shown off how far he'd come in his training, creating several waterfalls along the canyon walls of Zaun, using the Water Style: Waterfall Basin Jutsu. Something that amazed and excited the Zaunites at having sources of fresh, clean water without any chemicals polluting it. With Naruto then creating a mini forest from several seeds, which also produced dozens of different fruits and vegetables.
The sight having pleased Silco, seeing not only sources of water and food for Zaun, but also ways to provide power and new sources of trade. Even better that the fruits and vegetables produced from Naruto's Mokuton seemed even healthier than regular kinds along with growing faster. Plus, with means of trade, he could more easily smuggle Shimmer to different lands.
Now after a year, Zaun was beginning to improve and grow, no longer being dependent on the runoff from Piltover.
Currently, Silco was sitting in his office in The Last Drop, the bar formerly owned by Vander, but now he owned and had converted it into a club. With the crime boss looking over reports from the recent shipments of Shimmer and produce, while also thinking over an idea he's been considering.
'The plant life Naruto creates is much healthier and stronger than regular plants, along with the food it produces. Something that seems to also have positive effects on a person's health. Is it possible I could improve it with Shimmer?' Silco wondered, considering testing it to see if it would further improve the produce with Shimmer.
If he could, then it would further help his smuggling business as there wouldn't be any Shimmer to be found, merely legal goods being traded.
'It may even lower the risks of injecting too much Shimmer into a person's body.' Thought Silco, knowing that was a problem, if someone took too much Shimmer they could end up dead or little more than feral animals, like those at the bottom of the chasms.
Silco was pulled from his musing when the door opened up, looking up to see Naruto enter the office.
"Yes, what is it Naruto?" Silco said, going back to the reports, with the Uzumaki walking up to his desk.
"Silco, I have something new to show you!" Naruto said in excitement as he pulled out a scroll and unrolled it across Silco's desk, making him look at it see it contained a rather complex seal, the man raising brow at Naruto.
"…I'm afraid you'll have to be more clear on what this is, exactly." Stated Silco, having never gotten a grasp on Fūinjutsu or understood most of what they did.
"It's a seal I thought of while helping Jinx with her weapons, she wants me to make seals that'll cause different effects whenever she shoots something, like causing explosions, electrocuting someone, setting them on fire. But I got an idea for a new seal while helping her, one that uses Shimmer. All someone would need to do is put the seal on their body and it'd have the same effect as Shimmer in increasing their physical abilities, but without any of the side-effects since they wouldn't actually be injecting Shimmer into themselves. It'd be like that Hextech they're making in Piltover, like if they had magic flowing through them." Naruto explained, surprising Silco at this and what it could mean.
"And this…Shimmer Seal, would the effects be permanent?" Silco asked, with Naruto shaking his head.
"No, it'd wear off in like an hour or two, just like regular Shimmer. I'm also making it so once they're used, they burn away to avoid the chances of them being replicated, along with having it so they're only little patches you'd put on your skin. Making them easier to transport and less noticeable than barrels filled with Shimmer." Replied Naruto, the crime boss nodding at this, seeing the benefits of such an idea.
And if it was possible for Naruto to make such a seal, then perhaps it could also be used on the plants, placing the patches on them to see the affects and if they could be made permanent.
"I'm impressed Naruto, it seems every day you have new ideas. You've done well." Said Silco, putting a hand Naruto's shoulder, with the Uzumaki smiling and nodding in response before taking the scroll and left the office.
*Timeskip-Two Years*
Naruto and Satsuki arrived at the hideout they lived in with Jinx, with it being a giant propeller drill that was originally used for mining in the chasms. With it having since been abandoned until they took it for themselves, using it as their home and Jinx's workshop. The bluenette having also covered it in her artwork, along with hanging up different things from cables.
With both having just returned from training for the day, only to stop when they heard someone talking, while recognizing it as Jinx's voice, making them both frown in worry.
"Do you think…" Said Naruto while looking at Satsuki.
"Let's make sure she's alright." Satsuki said, the whiskered blonde nodding in agreement as they went down the stairs.
Finding Jinx sitting on one of the propellers talking to seemingly no one, though Naruto and Satsuki knew that wasn't the case. One thing they learned was the incident at the warehouse had affected Jinx more than they realized, with her having begun hearing the voices of Mylo and Claggor, her adoptive brothers. Even going as far as making a mannequin that looked like Mylo and a doll that looked like Claggor. Naruto and Satsuki had really wanted to get rid of them both, knowing they weren't helping Jinx, but were waiting until she was feeling better.
"Uh, Jinx?" Said Satsuki, getting the bluenette's attention, who immediately turned and aimed Zapper at them.
"WHO?!" Jinx shouted with a wild look in her eyes.
"Hey, easy, it's just us. We heard you…talking and wanted to make sure you were alright." Naruto said gently as they slowly approached Jinx, who relaxed slightly.
"O-oh right…talking to me, right…I'm Jinx…ehehehe, my bad. They just keep calling me Powder for some reason, even if I tell them my name is Jinx now, they just don't seem to listen. I think they may have hit their heads a little too much, ahahahahahahahaha!" Said Jinx, tapping her gun against her head while laughing, as Naruto and Satsuki sat beside her.
"You know…if you ever want to talk, we're here whenever you need us." Satsuki said, putting a hand on Jinx's shoulder, who nodded her head.
"Mm-hm, yep, totally know that. But you weren't here and I didn't want to interrupt your training, cause ya know how important that is. I mean, I really hate it when someone stops me from working on my stuff, especially Pow-Pow! Which they did! Saying it wasn't going to work!" Jinx said while pointing Zapper at "Mylo" and "Claggor", before Naruto gently lowered her hand.
"Jinx, it really doesn't matter if we're training or not, if you want to talk or just vent, it doesn't matter what we're doing, we'll be there." Stated Naruto, the ravenette nodding in agreement.
"Naruto's right, we're your friends and we'll be here whenever you need us." Satsuki added, with Jinx looking between them.
"I thought you were Powder's friends. You're only Jinx's allies that help her." Jinx said lowly before yelping when Naruto flicked her forehead.
"Powder, Jinx, whatever name you want it doesn't matter to us. We're your friends, nothing's going to change that. If you want to talk we're here for you, if you want someone to just listen while you vent, then we'll be happy to listen. You want to just go blow stuff up, then we're definitely more than happy to help you. All you need to do is ask and we'll be there to help." Naruto said, smiling at the bluenette while taking her hand in his, with Satsuki doing the same.
"And whatever name you want us to call you, we will. It doesn't matter to us as we care about Jinx and Powder." Said Satsuki, making her look between them with wide eyes, while for once…the voices were quiet.
She didn't hear Mylo, Claggor, Vander or Vi at all anymore, she didn't seem them appearing either, she felt…at peace right now.
"…Jinx…my name is Jinx." Jinx said as she began smiling.
"Then we're here whenever you need us, Jinx." Satsuki replied while returning the smile, with Naruto nodding in agreement.
"Thank you…that…that really means a lot. But…she'll probably still see me as Powder." Said Jinx, looking up while moving her head side to side.
"You mean Violet." Naruto stated, with the demolition expert nodding in response.
"Yep. Sister. Sister, thought that I'd miss her. I mean why would I, can't live with 'em, but I…I want to see her again, at least…one last time." Jinx said, wanting to reunite and confront Vi, if only to have some closure at the very least.
"Then we'll find her, wherever she is." Naruto said, Satsuki nodding in agreement.
"We will and we'll see if she's able to accept Jinx. If she is, then we'll make sure you have your sister back and if not…then you'll still have us, always." Satsuki said, making Jinx smile before wrapping her arms around both of them.
"You're the best friends a girl could ask for…right next to volatile explosives! Speaking of…let's go blow something up! I wanna celebrate with the bestest boom ever!" Jinx said eagerly as she went to grab her Chompers, wanting to blow something up, with the Uzumaki and Uchiha laughing slightly before they went after her.
*Timeskip-Two Years*
Silco frowned as he looked over the reports he's gotten from Piltover and the advancements in Hextech, the latest one being known as the Hexgates. Something that could teleport airships across the world to any destination that was programmed into it. But it could also be used to bring airships to Piltover in an instant.
"What have you found out?" Silco asked, turning in his chair to face Satsuki, having sent her to gather more information on the Hexgates.
With the Uchiha having become the one he'd send out to gather information, interrogate targets, and assassinate anyone he wanted dead. While Naruto and Jinx were good at sending messages, Satsuki is the one who sent reminders of what he's capable of.
"They're completely operational, it looks like they work by selecting a destination on the globe then instantly teleporting anything that's lined up with the gateway. I'm not sure if there's a limit to where it can reach or if there's a limit to what can and can't be teleported." Satsuki replied, with Silco's frown deepening as he pulled out a cigar.
"This…complicates things. With these Hexgates, the world is going to start getting much smaller, more lands, more cities, more kingdoms and empires. All of them soon coming here and the City of Progress will continue progressing." Said Silco, with Satsuki making a small flame on her finger and lit his cigar, the crime boss nodding in thanks.
"Should we destroy it?" Questioned Satsuki, knowing Jinx would love the chance to blow up something like the Hexgates, even better if she got to launch a few rigged airships through to detonate wherever they went.
"No, we may still be able to work with this. The Hexgates may provide Piltover greater standing, it does give us the opportunity to spread our own trade. Getting Shimmer onto some airships will allows us to get a foothold in other lands, perhaps new allies and resources for Zaun." Silco said, the Uchiha nodding in response since this could be something they can use to their advantage.
*Piltover*
Meanwhile, unknown to Naruto and Satsuki, within Piltover, Itachi was meeting with two people he's come to know and befriend since arriving.
The first was a nineteen-year-old girl with fair skin, dark blue hair that fell past her shoulders, and bright blue eyes. With her wearing brown, thigh-high boots with dark blue straps near the top and white lace, a navy blue and white uniform dress with gold designs and white lace around the bottom and collar, a brown belt with a gold buckle with the Enforcers emblem on it, and elbow-length fingerless white and brown gloves.
And the second was a young man, looking to be in his mid-to-late twenties, with lightly tanned skin, neatly combed black hair, and hazel eyes. With him wearing brown boots that went up to his knees, dark brownish-red pants, a black dress shirt, a red tie, a white and grey vest, and a white uniform jacket with gold edging and red shoulder pads with hammers on them.
These were Caitlyn Kiramman of the Kiramman Family and a Piltover Enforcer, and Jayce Talis of the Talis Family and the one who was behind the creation of Hextech with the help of his partner, Viktor.
With Itachi having met Caitlyn after he had joined the Enforcers, knowing that by joining, it'd allow him a better chance to locating Satsuki and Naruto. Having been able to rise quickly through the ranks thanks to his abilities and training. He's even begun training new recruits in hand-to-hand combat and stealth, making sure they'd be able to work better even without weapons.
Though he'd personally training Caitlyn when she joined, becoming a mentor to her and learning more about her, how she'd been previously instructed by the previous Sheriff of Piltover, Grayson. With Caitlyn being happy to be trained by Itachi and having a friend to help fill the void that Grayson left when she died. The girl also admired Itachi's desire for peace and betterment of others, leading her to introduce him to her friend Jayce, knowing the two would get along with their shared dreams.
With the three of them currently out celebrating Jayce's creation of the Hexgates, knowing how much good they'll do for Piltover.
"I believe this may be your greatest creation, Jayce. It's unlike anything I could have imagined seeing and I'm sure everyone else in Piltover can say the same. Being able to travel across the world instantaneously, it's still hard to imagine it now being possible." Itachi said, looking up at the Hexgates, having never thought he'd see something like it before.
"Thank you Itachi, and the Council are all pleased by it as well. As with the Hexgates, we'll be able to welcome new minds and new ideas, trade with far off lands, all in a matter of minutes. But I couldn't have done any of this without Viktor's help, I just laid the groundwork, he's the one that helped make it work." Replied Jayce, smiling at his and his friend's success, and knowing with it completed they can finally start deciding what's next for Hextech.
"Where is Viktor anyway? I thought he'd want to celebrate your success as well." Caitlyn said.
"He's in the lab working on another project, I asked if he wanted to come, but he wanted to focus on his work. Kind of like you, always working." Jayce said with a smirk at Itachi.
"I'm not always working." Denied Itachi, only for Caitlyn and Jayce to look at him, not believing the Uchiha at all.
"Yes you are. If you aren't out patrolling, investigating, or filling out paperwork, then you'd be-" Caitlyn said, only to stop herself before she could continue, though Itachi and Jayce both knew what she was going to say.
"It's fine Caitlyn, I know I can be rather…overworked, but I need to keep searching. They're here, I know it." Said Itachi with a frown, with Jayce putting a hand on his friend's shoulder.
After getting to know Caitlyn and Jayce better, as well as trusting them more, Itachi had come clean about where he's really from, along with his search for Satsuki and Naruto, as well as the sins he committed for the greater good. With both of them having been understandably shocked and horrified, though they could also hear the guilt in his voice as he told them, along with his desire to find his sister and his godbrother. Knowing they couldn't hold his past actions against him after seeing that he was trying to be better, they had done what they could to help.
"You'll find them, I know it. And with the Hexgates now complete, I'll have some more time on my hands to better help in finding them. Maybe there's something I could even build to locate them. Plus with the Hexgates, if they aren't in Piltover or the surrounding area, then we'll broaden the search to other lands they could have gone to." Jayce said, wanting to do what he can to help his friend.
"And I've been asking around on my patrols for any sign of either as well, we just have to keep searching and eventually they'll turn up." Added Caitlyn, with Itachi nodding in thanks.
"Thank you, both of you. It means a lot to have your help, and yes, we will find them." Itachi replied, refusing to give on his search until he found Satsuki and Naruto.
*Timeskip-One Year*
"You think the Firelights will show up?" Naruto asked while leaning against a wall and looking at Silco.
"Oh, I'm counting on them trying to stop the shipment. It's why I have Jinx guarding it, when the Firelights try something, she'll ensure they're left in pieces." Replied Silco while glancing at his adopted son.
Now eighteen-years-old, Naruto had grown a powerful and dangerous young man, with his appearance not having changed much. While his attire was now black military style boots, black pants, a tattered dark crimson shirt and a long, open, black sleeveless leather coat with the sides tied together by strings, with inside pockets and a sewn-in, corset-like vest in the front along with a red swirl on the back.
With him having grown to become one of his strongest enforcers alongside Jinx and Satsuki, something that pleased Silco at how much they've grown since he took them in.
"I believe you should be wondering more about what you intend to do once Zaun has finally become an independent nation." Silco said, turning in his chair to look out the window, with Naruto looking at him in confusion.
"I'm gonna be doing the same thing I've been doing, helping Zaun prosper. There isn't really anything else I'd want to do." Replied Naruto, only for Silco to give him a look.
"You and I both know that's not true." Silco stated as he turned to face the Uzumaki.
"Let's perfectly honest Naruto, if you and Satsuki wanted, you could take over both Zaun and Piltover with there being no one capable of stopping you. The only reason neither of you have tried is because you wouldn't want to be tied down to a single place. Both of you are two very large fish in a very small pond, one that will only grow smaller. It's why I know both of you will eventually leave once Zaun is its own independent nation." Said Silco, much to Naruto's surprise.
"We wouldn't just abandon you, like that." Naruto said, shaking his head.
"It's not abandonment if I already knew it was going to happen and…I've accepted it. You wish to find your own way; explore the world and all the mysteries it may hold. I also know Jinx will go with you both, she'd never willingly leave either of you. It's something I realized the more you grew, the stronger you became, that you were meant for so much more." Silco said, with the whiskered blonde frowning at his words since he couldn't really deny them.
While he and Satsuki were fine and content staying in Zaun, they also felt…trapped, with how repetitive things have become. Silco was right that no one could hope to challenge them, with his Mokuton and Satsuki's Sharingan. They might as well be surrounded by cardboard with how easily they could kill someone if they didn't hold back. It's honestly made them feel restless in not being able to do anything new and they even entertained the idea of wanting to leave. But they also weren't going to leave their adoptive father and sister behind. Though Silco was right again, they knew Jinx would follow them if they left.
"And…you'd be fine…if we did decide to leave?" Naruto asked, with Silco standing up and going over to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I am. It's something I always knew would happen eventually, that I would have to let you three go one day. Let you all grow and flourish, becoming as great as I know you will be." Replied Silco, having known and accepted he'd have to let his children go one day, and he'd be ready for when the time comes for them to go off on their own.
*Later*
"He…knew?" Satsuki asked in surprise, after Naruto had returned to the hideout and told her everything Silco had told him.
Over the years, Satsuki had grown and filled out, along with letting her hair grow out to her hips, and now possessing a more shapely and curvaceous body, with her outfit accentuating it. With her wearing black boots that went halfway up her calves, dark blue short-shorts, and a black tube top that showed off her cleavage of her D-cup breasts, and a dark blue jacket with the Uchiha Clan symbol on the back that was zipped up to below her breasts.
With the ravenette having been surprised that Silco knew of hers and Naruto's desire to eventually leave, not expecting him to have figured it out. But also figured it wasn't that surprising, remembering times when her parents were able to figure something out about her despite not telling them.
"Yeah, he did, and he's even accepted we'd leave. In fact, he fully expects we will once Zaun's becomes an independent nation, along with how Jinx would follow us when we leave." Replied Naruto, making Satsuki lean back on the couch, letting out a sigh.
"What would you want to do?" Asked Satsuki, looking at the Uzumaki.
"Honestly, I would like the chance to leave and explore more of the world. We've been here for ten years and we haven't even explored the rest of the Land of Peace, let alone the rest of the Temujin Continent. And there are still four other continents, not to mention if there are lands even beyond our own." Naruto said, wanting the chance to explore the rest of the Temujin Continent and the other continents as well, even go further beyond to see what other lands there are.
"Yeah, we've already seen so much here, who knows what else is out in the world." Satsuki stated, understanding the feeling of wanting to keep exploring.
Before they could continue, they heard approaching footsteps making them stop and look, seeing Jinx return and she didn't look happy about something.
In contrast to Satsuki's more developed figure, Jinx was more skinny while still having curves and more modest B-cup breasts. With her having let her hair grow out to her feet and kept it tied into two long braids with a bang hanging over the right side of her face, along with getting blue smoke tattoos across the right side of her body, and painting her nails pink and blue. With her wearing brown boots with pink laces, striped, purple pants that stopped just below her knees with alternating dark and light striped that were ripped along the bottom, a dark brown belt and holster on her left leg for Zapper, a dark brown crop top that left her midsection and shoulders exposed along with having a diagonally crossed lace going through the front, and a fingerless dark brown glove on her right hand and an elbow length glove on her left hand with a purple arm-sleeve over it that matched her pants.
The bluenette went over to them before promptly falling across Naruto's lap, with her face landing right in Satsuki's breasts.
"Are you alright, Jinx?" Naruto asked, neither of them surprised by the action, since Jinx was always affectionate in physical contact with those she cares about, which became even more apparent once the three of them entered in a relationship together.
"No!" Said Jinx, her voice being muffled by Satsuki's chest, making the Uchiha start petting her head.
"Did something happen on your missions?" Satsuki asked with Jinx nodding her head while still refusing to move from her spot, before she was pulled up by Naruto and sat on his lap with his arms wrapped around her.
"Was it the Firelights?" Questioned Naruto, getting another nod from the bluenette.
"Yes…there was one with pink hair and I just saw her." Jinx replied, with Naruto and Satsuki frowning at this, knowing that while she's started getting better with her psychosis, she could still have an episode if something triggers her PTSD.
And seeing a Firelight with pink hair would be enough to remind her of Vi, which could definitely make her go off the deep end.
"I ended up firing Pow-Pow all around me, but I was able to at least focus enough to aim at the Firelights. But they were still able to destroy the Shimmer supply, now Silco's upset and is having that ogre Sevika fix it. And he wants me to "take some time", now he thinks I'm weak." Said Jinx, hating that Silco will think she's weak for messing up.
With Naruto and Satsuki frowning at hearing what happened, before the Uzumaki held Jinx's hand while the Uchiha kissed her cheek and rested her head on her shoulder, knowing it'll help her calm down.
"Don't worry, Silco doesn't think you're weak or anything like. He's just giving you the chance to cool off, since it wouldn't be easy for you after seeing someone that looks like your sister." Naruto said while feeling Jinx start to relax.
"Naruto's right. Though…if you want a chance to make up for it, I have heard that the "Man of Progress" has been working on something for Hextech. A stabilized version of the crystals called a Hextech Gemstone, one that's perfectly safe and supposed to be capable of powering anything." Satsuki said with a smirk, making Jinx perk up at hearing this with an excited smile soon appearing on her face.
"And with everyone being busy with Progress Day, it'd be a shame if something that valuable were to suddenly go missing." Naruto added with his own smirk, before Jinx turned around and grabbed his face, slamming her lips against his.
Pushing her tongue into his mouth, Jinx moaned happily into the kiss before she soon pulled back, doing the same thing to Satsuki with neither of them able to react in time to the sudden kisses.
"Have I ever said how much I love you two, because I really do! Now let's go steal a magic rock!" Jinx said, eager for the chance to redeem herself.
*Later-Piltover*
"Can't they just be quiet?" Caitlyn said lowly, giving an annoyed glance at a group of Enforcers that were smoking on the stairs after Jayce's speech, having been expecting some new Hextech invention only for Jayce to just give a speech about what's to come.
"Ignore them Caitlyn, it won't solve anything." Said Itachi, having dealt with people like them before and knew saying anything would only encourage them.
"I know, but can't they just be satisfied?! Jayce created Hextech to begin with, he created the Hexgates, yet they're still expecting more from him?! What else do they want?!" Muttered Caitlyn, wondering what more people were expecting from Jayce when he's already revolutionized things by just creating Hextech.
"They expect everything. Jayce changed things when he created Hextech, it put him on a pedestal as someone who was truly progressive and revolutionary. But that also means with each new discovery and creation, people will expect more and more from him. The Hexgates have merely set the bar even higher for what he needs to unveil next. Though I'm sure Jayce will keep making new discoveries and ways to use Hextech, perhaps even something entirely different." Itachi replied, making Caitlyn sigh but nod at his words, only to notice something glowing not far from them, making her eyes widening at seeing it was a fire.
"Fire? Fire!" Caitlyn shouted, getting the other Enforcers' attention, their eyes widening at the sight of the flames.
"Get the fire brigade, now!" Ordered Itachi, with two Enforcers nodding before running off to alert the fire brigade while the others ran towards the fire.
Reaching the fire, Caitlyn went and grabbed a fire extinguisher to start suppressing, while Itachi and the other Enforcers looked into the flames to see if anyone was caught inside.
"Help. In here, please. Help me." Said a little girl from inside the building.
"There's a kid in there!" An Enforcer said as they went to move in to save the kid, before Itachi stopped them.
"Move in carefully and stick together." Said Itachi, feeling something was off about the little girls' voice, the Enforcers nodding before they went into the building.
"Help. It's so hot, please. I'm trapped." The girl said, with the Enforcers looking around for any sign of her, Itachi activating his Sharingan to see if he could see anything through the flames, only to tense at the girl's next words.
"I'm a helpless little girl, and I've set the building on fire. By accident. Totally by accident." The girl said before her voice began turning into a distorted version of Jinx's voice.
Back outside Caitlyn and two other Enforcers had managed to suppress of the flames, only for the bluenette's eyes to widen when a painted monkeys head was revealed with swirls for eyes.
'It's a trap!' Caitlyn thought.
"Everyone, get out, now! Everyone get away!" Shouted Caitlyn, motioning them to get back.
Inside the building, Itachi's and the Enforcers eyes widened at seeing the explosives hanging from the ceiling.
"Also, I brought this dynamite. Goodbye!" Said Jinx as the Chompers' eyes turned red as their jaws snapped closed before they detonated.
"Susanoo!" Itachi said activating his Mangekyō Sharingan as his Susanoo formed around him and the Enforcers, shielding them just in time as the explosives went off.
Back outside, Caitlyn was thrown back from the explosion, grunting as she rolled across the ground with her vision being blurry. Looking around, Caitlyn tried seeing if anyone was nearby, knowing if the fire was just a diversion then the assailants could still be in the area. Only to not see anyone before her attention turned to Itachi as he and the Enforcers came out of the building.
"Are you alright?" Itachi asked, helping Caitlyn up to her feet.
"Yeah, yes, I'm fine, but I hit my head when I was thrown back. Did you see anyone, anyone that could have done this?" Questioned Caitlyn, with the Uchiha shaking his head in response.
"No, whoever did this set up remote explosives, and not knowing what their goal is, they could be anywhere in the city." Replied Itachi, only for his eyes to widen and look back at the Academy where Jayce and Viktor's lab and research was.
The two Enforcers soon learning what the thief was after, when Jayce and Viktor found the Hextech Gemstone and some of their research papers stolen, along with their lab covered in crude paintings.
*Later*
After returning to their hideout, Jinx put on some music and began working on a new project to utilize the Hextech Gemstone. While Naruto and Satsuki looked over the research notes they took to see how Hextech worked and if they could replicate it with Fūinjutsu.
Only to soon see Silco arrive and he didn't look happy as he walked over to the three, seeing he already had Naruto's and Satsuki's attention, he turned towards Jinx who'd yet to look up from her work.
"Jinx! Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!" Silco shouted, slamming his fist down on the barrel the radio was on, turning it off and finally getting the bluenette's attention.
"That's me!" Said Jinx with a grin while lifting her goggles up.
"A building blown to pieces! Nearly killing half a dozen Enforcer!" Said Silco in annoyance and anger at what they did.
"Wait, what? Nearly killed?" Naruto asked, having expected some Enforcers to die.
"What?! Oh man, that sucks!" Said Jinx, having hoped to hear her bombs had killed some Enforcers, upset to hear none died.
"This is not a game! Do you three have any idea what you've done?! What would have happened if someone saw you three?!" Silco demanded, not in the mood to deal with their games, not after this stunt.
"Relax Silco, no one saw us. We were in and out before anyone could even figure out what was happening." Satsuki said reassuringly.
"And just where did you go exactly?!" Said Silco, only for his anger to fade away as Jinx held up the Hextech Gemstone.
"We went and got a little Progress Day, souvenir." Jinx replied with a smile, giggling as Silco took the stone looking at in fascination, before the bluenette got up.
"Happy Progress Day!" Said Jinx as she activated the fireworks she set up before going up and hugging Silco.
"We also got some research notes to figure out how Hextech works and if it's possible to use Fūinjutsu to recreate it, or at least something similar." Naruto added, much to Silco's amazement at this.
"That's not even the best part! Look at what I'm gonna make!" Jinx said in excitement as she grabbed the blueprints she'd been making, showing Silco what looked to be a weapon designed to look like a shark.
"I call it Fishbones! With this powered by the Gemstone, just a single shot can take down an entire building! And if Naruto upgrades with his seals, it'll be able to make the greatest booms, ever!" Said Jinx, excited to be able to make such a powerful weapon.
Silco looked at his adopted children, with his mood completely changing at what they've brought him as he handed the Gemstone back to Jinx.
"You three did a good job, tonight. I look forward to seeing just what your weapon is capable of once completed, Jinx." Said Silco, pleased at this new success before taking his leave, with the trio smiling at his approval.
"Looks like he's forgotten about the Shimmer shipment." Satsuki stated smiling at Jinx, who could only laugh happily.
"So, wanna get started on your newest toy?" Naruto asked, only to stumble back when the bluenette threw herself at him, wrapping her arms and legs around him.
"Fishbones can wait! I wanna celebrate now!" Jinx said eagerly while grinding herself against her lover, making Naruto tense as he felt part of his body waking up.
"Jinx, keep it in your pants right now. We still have work to do." Said Satsuki, only for Jinx to smirk wickedly at her.
"You're telling me to keep it in my pants? I seem to remember you being the crazy hellcat in bed, Satsuki! AHAHAHAHAHA, you refused to stop until you tired us both out, ooooh it was great! I couldn't feel my legs for two days!" Jinx said lustfully at remembering all the times they've had sex together, with Satsuki blushing brightly at the mention of her…wild side coming out during sex.
"Th-that's different! W-w-w-we're b-bu-bu-busy r-ri-right n-no-no-now!" Satsuki retorted, with Jinx nodding in agreement.
"Yeah we are, I'm about to have what's left of my sanity fucked out of me!" Jinx said before slamming her lips against Naruto's, who immediately returned the kiss and grabbed the bluenette's ass, getting a moan from her.
Satsuki could only cover her face in embarrassment at her lovers/adoptive siblings shamelessness.
"Well…wouldn't it be better to celebrate after you've finished Fishbones and gotten to test it out." Said Satsuki, making Jinx break the kiss as her eyes widened before grinning.
"YES!" Jinx said, now imagining celebrating with Naruto and Satsuki after blowing something up with Fishbones.
The demolition expert quickly letting go of her lover and returned to her work, with Naruto giving Satsuki an annoyed look, who merely smirked at him while pushing her breasts together. The Uzumaki merely sighing in annoyance before he and the ravenette continued looking over the Hextech research.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Itachi telling Naruto and Satsuki the truth of the massacre, with both children siding with the Uchiha Clan due to how they were treated, along with Naruto being an outcast and Satsuki having seen hints of how the clan was treated, with Itachi also learning from his father's journal of his hope for a bloodless coup and believing Itachi would be the key to it, realizing he really did massacre the clan for nothing. While we see Naruto and Satsuki planning to leave, but not before stealing some scrolls and anything of value, before taking a rowboat and heading for Zaun, only to see an explosion at a warehouse and go investigate, where they see the aftermath of Powder's monkey bomb and Vi blaming her. Leading them to defending Powder from her anger, with Vi soon feeling guilt and regret before leaving, where she's then taken by Marcus, while Naruto, Satsuki, and Powder are approached by Silco who takes them in. Then we see several timeskips showing the trios time in Zaun with Silco, with Naruto and Satsuki training and doing what they can to improve the lives in Zaun, and Powder, now going by Jinx, is much saner due to having Naruto and Satsuki as lifelines and helping her with her psychosis, which also leads them to being in a threeway relationship. We also see Itachi in Piltover as an Enforcer and has befriended Caitlyn and Jayce, with him even telling them the truth of who he is, his search for Satsuki and Naruto, and his past sins for the greater good, with the two wanting to help him in finding Satsuki and Naruto. Then we see a final timeskip with Naruto and Silco, the latter revealing he's known that eventually his adoptive children would leave one day, that Naruto and Satsuki were simply too powerful to settle for staying in Zaun and would leave when they were ready, and that Jinx would follow them. Before we see Naruto and Satsuki talking about it, both of them agreeing they did want to explore more of the world, until Jinx returns from her failed smuggling mission where she had an episode after encountering a Firelight with pink hair, though is cheered up when Naruto and Satsuki suggest a way to redeem herself by stealing the Hextech Gemstone. Leading them to staging a diversion which also gets Caitlyn and Itachi's attention, luckily no one dies thanks to Itachi's Susanoo, but the Hextech Gemstone and research papers are successfully stolen. Finally we see Silco not amused at their actions, only for his attitude to change at seeing just what they had gotten and the benefits from it. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
