Azure King: Another great update in this massive upload~! These chapters show...Naruto real side of his job, that if you mess with him...well you need a army to live. I hope you all think I could match the silliness of the To Love Ru world in this chapter along with the dark moments. Anyway wish me a happy birthday and enhoy this fic.
"Naruto you got the man in your crosshairs?"
The blonde Sweeper nodded as he held a large and very powerful sniper rifle in his hands, as he looked into the scope. Smiling to see an overweight man, "This, the target? Fat, possibly can't find his penis underneath said fat?" He joked as the blonde remembered that insult from an American show.
"That is correct, haha, bastard has been dealing and slinging drugs since I was your age." Sven's voice came from the earpiece he given to Naruto as they had split up. "Alright, enough jokes can you shoot him?"
"Yeah, I- shit no there's a kid." Naruto said with a frown as he saw the drug dealer hugging a child with a grin no doubt that must be his son from what the dossier told him.
"Damn. That must be his kid…" Sven grunted. Most likely running a hand over his hair, "Naruto… take the shot."
The blonde sighed before resuming and taking account of the wind… "..." He took a deep breath, as this wasn't the first time he had killed a man in front of his child. But compared to killing others, these situations tend to rub him the wrong way. "Sorry…" He said lowering the gun when his hands became unsteady. He made a fist and gently hit his forehead with it, "Focus…"
"C'mon, kid. I know you hate it. But it's a job."
"I know… you and boss keep the city having the lowest amount of crimes in exchange for my services." He started remembering why he is doing this; the reason why he is doing this is to make the city, not like other hellholes for his friends and family. "I'm so sorry…" He said to the child before…
BANG!
"Dad?"
Naruto watched as the son turned to see his father slumping on the ground as blood drip from his side, "Sven… the last one is done." The shinobi said softly taking a moment to calm himself. Seven kills and possibly an upcoming assassin to hunt him down in the future, not something he was hoping for.
"Alright, go back home. I'll take the kid to Social Services, the bodyguards are done here."
Naruto knew that Sven was a kind man at heart taking the victim away so Naruto wouldn't be obliged to, and to let him go home to relax from his deed. "Haaa…" He exhaled softly before dismantling the gun and texting Koko she will pick her piece later in the morning.
XXXXX
"I'm home…" Naruto said as he saw Lala waving at him with Rito not too far watching television, and it was one of his shows.
"Welcome bac-" Lala then noticed the look on his face. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm… fine," He trailed off, as Rito look at the pink-haired girl with a stern shake of his head. Making the alien woman wonder why not to talk about it, but watch Naruto as he loosens his school uniform's tie. "I should really invest in combat clothing; I don't really want to keep cleaning to get the smell of gunpowder off my clothes every night."
"Haa, so what Blood-C uniforms?" Mikan smiled, as she looked over her latest manga of Baki, "Remember the bunnies-" her teasing smile suddenly went towards into a frown when watching Naruto looking pale.
"C-Can we not?!"
Lala scoots over to Rito, both for affection and also away from Naruto, as the blonde suddenly slammed his hand to the nearest wall, making a large hole in the process. "What bunnies?" The princess said.
"AHHHHH!" Naruto screams were overheard as he heard that accused word...before a loud smash came it.
"Oh come on you kill guys for a living." Rito complained, "You came home with a guy severed fingers on your head when things went bad. Yet every time we say that B-Word, it makes you rage out?"
"Have you seen that anime!?" Naruto said with a horrified look as he shakes off any pain his wounded hand from hitting the wall in his rage. "It was terrifying! The skewering, the twisting of the heads, the BLENDER! Aughhhh! I had nightmares of that for two weeks!"
Rito then turned blue when Naruto said his own B-word phrase, "Ugh noted, won't say it."
"Really? A human smoothie via Bunny Blender-?" Mikan said licking her finger to swipe the next page, before chuckling hearing Rito also screaming with Naruto as their PTSD from the anime kick in again.
"So if Naruto's B-Word is Bunnies" Lala stopped when she heard Naruto punching the wall again from her right, "And Rito's is Blender" Again pausing for Rito who was on her other side moving his head behind the sofa to hide and coward from the word, "What's your B-Word trigger?"
Mikan shrugged as she read her manga, "Don't have one I suppose."
"Bullshit!" Naruto roared as he limply lay on his recliner's top, too tired from work and this annoyance to let this go. "We all have ABC's Syndrome!"
"ABC's?"
"For some reason ever since Naruto came, we all have different reactions up when a traumatic scene happens, something with A or B or C, etc, makes Naruto rage and me violently ill. Mom's B-word is Balloons and Dad's is Bucket's." Rito said as he chuckled, "Naruto made a blood balloon filled from bucket of said blood to settle a bet with his bounty-" "Sweepers" "-Hunter friends and our parents say it… and well… mom gets nervous for the whole day and dad just laughs awkwardly to hide his own fear."
"So there's no way in hell you don't have a B-word trigger!" Naruto accused Mikan, pointing a finger at her.
"Wait… Elder Bairns-"
"KYAAA!" Mikan screamed girlish before pulling a blanket over her body and rock herself back and forth to ease her young heart from fear.
"Haa… found it…" Naruto said walking towards them with a very bruised hand, and move over to Rito as they won that battle as Mikan dropped her manga to do what she made them did later. "Hold on, the house is starting to look like Swiss cheese." Naruto touched the floor, as the holes in the house were slowly being repaired as if growing back to fill in the holes, "There better Okay we know our trigger B-words… so stop it okay?" Naruto pointed at Mikan who nodded with a green look on her face.
"What was that?" Lala said smiling, as the house magically look the same as before.
"Little trick I made, I am… packing some spare energy and can use it to restore the house to a previous space. Never knew I could do that, eh, must be like a trick I picked up from Ero-sennin." He said before hearing the door open and soon saw Sven walking in with another case of most likely money. "The pay?"
"We cut a little close with the last guy, but dead is dead, so we got our pay." He said with a smile, having to fight alongside Koko to get their full payment from the guy who almost cheated the three...oh Koko gets a ten percent commission on all their targets for the free use of her brother's weapons. "10 mil, and…" He pulled out some documents, "Some dirt on your target Kazuo."
Naruto frowned, "Let me see." He said, doing the 'give it' gesture. Sven handed over the documents for Naruto to look over as he scanned each paper. "This really legit?" He looked at the older man.
"Yeah we got some good intel, Creed was the one who was-"
Naruto didn't say anything as the papers were burned by his chakra causing the green-haired man to glare at him in shock, "THE HELL KID!?" He gripped Naruto's school jacket, "That was nearly triple our pay!"
"I ain't relying on this intel, not after what he did to me and Saya-senpai." He said his hand shifting to his left side, Sven sighed as he nodded. "I will only give the bastard bullets and take nothing by joy when his body hits the ground."
"Are they normally like this?" Lala asked as Rito and Mikan were still doing their own things, "Okay, so yay, new episode!" After realizing this was the norm for them, she can resume her show that Naruto starred in.
"Look kid, I-"
"It's fine, you weren't around then. That stalker is thankfully gone ...actually I wanted to talk to you about that, Lala-chan." Naruto said he was wondering about that one thing. "Your… bony armor bodyguard looked exactly like this one guy I hate, care to mention why?"
"I dunno, maybe he is the Asian version of your friend?" The pink haired girl said engrossed when Naruto on the TV screen suddenly shouted 'Henshin'.
"Space… Asian lookalike of Creed?" Naruto deadpanned with a twitching eyebrow, before signing, "Never mind, so you're living here now I take it?"
"I haven't accepted this-"
"Shut up, I pay the rent." Naruto shut down anything Rito would say, "You can take the bed on the first floor, that's usually Sven's bedroom, but he can crash in the basement room."
"We have a basement?" The siblings of Naruto said with sudden surprise.
"Remember that one guy I brought then I bought all those power tools?" He said with a dark smile as the two human teens went totally white, devoid of any color, before raising their hands to retract their words before he can explain more. "Anyway cool with you Sven?"
"Yeah, anyway, Koko told me to tell you that we should let the others take the rest of the jobs." The white dress man took set next to Rito passing the weak boy a box of sour candy that he always carried. "Chronos might try to capture you if they think they can get the drop on us, to be honest, it might be good for us."
Naruto turned his head to the man and nodded for him to continue which he has, "The government works with us Sweepers in order to kill their blacklisted targets, but it seems Chronos might be in bed with them. The fact is that Koko is an independent Sweeper Base, unlike the government ones. So Chronos has no right to enter or else every Sweeper base both government and independent will chase them out due to the treaty we all did a few years back, remember?"
"Yeah, I help drew that paper." Naruto said with a fond smile watching all those government dogs biting their cheeks when being forced to need their help, "Well anyway, I'm gonna crash. Go ahead and eat whatever's in the fridge." he waved off before walking to his room.
"Alright-"
The two stop when a brick went through the window, "...anyone gonna picks that up?" Mikan said as she was used to this by now if she can remain calm when their house was swiss cheese than a brick was nothing new.
"Nope." They all said.
"It has a note." Lala said with a smile, as she picked it up, "To my dear Naruto, I have stolen your lover."
…
"So fried chicken anyone?" Naruto said as the others nodded, typically.
XXXXXXXXX
"Another one is here." Rito said as he stopped playing his video game when another brick came through the window, "We have your girlfriend...and we will kill her."
XXXXXXXXX
"Naruto~" Mikan in bath towel shouted as she held another brick (that had a tickmark), "Another one came in the bathroom window, 'Seriously dude we will kill her'…"
XXXXXXXXX
"Shit~!" Sven picked up his pants as he opened the door to enter the living room, "How the hell did this come in the basement?! There are no windows, I missed my new porno!"
"TMI man… TMI…" Naruto said taking the brick and took out a paper on it, "Okay seriously? Is the girl you love not this girl?" He saw that underneath the note was a picture that showed Risa… and another that shows Risa giving a peace sign as she was in a chair, Naruto turn it back to see it was writing most likely from her.
'Hey I told them to stop with the brick thing, but they didn't listen and I got a free meal because the idiot bet with me. Anyway, please pick me up, I am starting to get tired and would rather-
Naruto's eyebrow twitched as he blushed at the rest of the writing and grabbed Sven, "We're working overtime,"
"H-Hey let me at least get my pants back on, dammit!"
"Naruto picks up some soda and soy sauce, we're out of them again," Mikan said to her brother as Rito resume playing games, while Lala beamed with a happy smile.
"This is like home, but better!"
XXXXXXXXX
"...Full house~!" Risa said as she places a full set of cards and watches as males and female assassin's started to strip, "Ahem…" She looked at one female assassin, "Piercings too…" She pointed at the woman's bare chest.
"Can you guys stop playing with my victim and do guard duty?" A teen said walking towards them with a tired frown, maybe he should have to kidnap Naruto's younger sister so this happy atmosphere wouldn't have happened.
"Sorry boss, we kinda assume we die." one naked male said as he spread his legs on his chair, "I mean the No Blood King coming here? Yeah… thought I can see a naked chick again before I die."
"Ahem~" The female assassin's clear their thoughts.
"A younger, prettier-"
The person didn't finish his words as a bullet went past his skull, Risa jumps up before watching her kidnapper shooting the rest in perfect grace. "W-Why they were-?"
He shrugged, "Cause they didn't listen, and you too if you don't tie yourself up again." He said raising his gun at the girl who nodded meekly. Again afraid of when he first grabbed her when she finished… rehearsing an idea for her and Naruto to do if they get together. So being weak in the knees and being told to follow a guy with a gun was the only thing she could do. "Good girl." He said, lowering the gun.
Risa sat in her chair watching as this teen fix his weapons for his upcoming fight with Naruto, "Why hurt Naruto?" She asked glaring at the teen that turns his head to her, "What has he done to you?"
"Honestly?" He started turning to her as he quickly reassembles his gun. "Nothing, I just want to kill him."
Risa eyes only gave just the very definition of confusion; the teen simply went behind her and tied her arms as extra insurance. "Naruto is a killer, like me… but he has morals for some while others he will give. But I don't really care for it, he's strong and I'm crazy." He said tightening the rope as Risa let a small yelp when it started to cause some rope burn. "So really? I just want to kill him just for the fun of it."
Risa glared at the teen that smirked at her meager attempt, "Hmph, if you think Naruto isn't like me, then time to see the true him."
"That's not true!" She shouted looking downward, remembering a nearly beaten up form of Naruto gesturing a pair of earrings to her. "He's not like that…"
"The folly of man is not their fellow men but their pride in others." The teen chuckled as he sat next to her readying his gun, before grabbing a small mic. "To all the surviving members, yes surviving, I killed some of the others; you will all get their share of the cash. Double up on patrols and get the traps ready for the young man."
"Understood...wait did I miss the strip-"
The teen-only looked weary at the young girl who grinned, "If I die I will feel bad for Naruto to deal with a perverted girl…"
"OI!"
XXXXX
"Ok Foxy, I got you the stuff you need."
The young Sweeper smiled as he nodded holding his phone to his ear, "Thanks Ko-san, I owe you one for the short notice." Naruto sighed as he ran down the streets with Sven, towards the destination where Risa was being held.
"You can take me out for da- OH CRAP NII-SAN IS HERE~! See ya!"
"I still don't know how that brick got in the basement…" Sven muttered.
"Whatever you got your new pistols?"
"Hell yeah." He grinned widely, taking them out and twirling them. "They're gonna say hello to my little friends soon enough."
"Hey." Naruto grabs his partner's collar to pull him close, "No… joking. We kill this time, anybody, not Risa or us are going to be riddled with bullets." He said pushing the man who gave a curt nod, knowing that this Naruto wasn't the fun one he was used to.
"Got it…" He took one of the guns and hid underneath his suit's jacket to looked at the large unfinished buildings. "Isn't that Tokugawa hotel that never got done?"
"Yeah, didn't we kill him?" Naruto asked absentmindedly as Sven shook his head.
"I don't think so… tall bastard?"
"Nah he was kinda on the short side." The teen replied before taking out his unique gun and loaded up Koko's special bullets.
"Right." Sven nodded, looking to the building. "So? What's the plan? We're gonna have to bite at some point. We got an unfinished twenty story hotel to scale."
"Twenty-one if you include the top of the steel beams sticking upwards." The teen reminded the man who sighed at that bad habit of his partner when on kill mode. "But knowing that crazy asshole, he might have traps on the bottom floors that have walls and insulation…"
"Right… and Risa could be on any one of those floors." Sven mused. "You think it has a few basement floors? It could be where she's held. Scaling up the building could be a misdirection."
"No, I came here to scout sniper locations. I'd always check if there's somewhere to hide if the cops are bought out." The blonde sweeper stated knowing that the problem with that he had to stay away from home until the heat died down.
"Well, in that case, take your pick." Sven pointed to the surrounding buildings. "You got a few vantage points to choose from-"
Brring~
Naruto smiled as he got a text from the person he needed to get this job done right, he opened it to see
'T inn FL 18, HT CF, PLaN?'
That meant, Target is on Floor 18, he didn't know what HT CF but it probably meant something like she was ready to shoot him.
He quickly typed his answer before looking at Sven shifting his head to the left, "We got our Sighter, so time to go. Pincer attack."
The white suit man nodded rushing towards the other entrance as the young man already went in, "I hope Al can do this." He said entering the main floor and saw the walls covered in spray paint that had arrows pointing towards the stairs. "Bastard is toying with me…"
The young man used his left hand to brandish a knife that he just got and pair it next to his gun. A basic yet trusty way to fight in case the enemy gets too close to him thus letting him gut them if he has too. He slightly tense when he heard the intercom suddenly turn on, "Welcome to my private game for us Naruto, my follow killer."
"I don't have time for your games, asshole! Where's Risa!?"
"Well, how about we ask her that?"
Naruto smiled, as he knew that Risa was-
SMACK~!
"Kah…."
His eyes turned insanely red as he heard Risa gasp in pain from what seems to be a slap from the killer. "..." He wanted to scream out, but that will probably make him do it again to get a rise from the Sweeper.
"See? Totally fine… until your partner is coming. Call him and tell him to back off." The voice demanded as the blonde didn- "Okay, this time she loses a pinky!"
"Wait!" Naruto said tucking his knife between his teeth before pulling a phone and placed it between his ear and shoulder to rear his unarmed hand. "Sven, don't enter, the prick is going to hurt Risa. No stupid heroics got it?"
"Damn it…" Sven cursed. "You sure?"
"Yeah. He really wants this to be one-on-one…" Naruto growled before sighing to calm himself down. "Recon with Moon in the building ten blocks away."
"Alright… but don't do anything stupid either…"
"I know." He said before the comm turned off. "Alright, I did what you asked, now where are you?"
"Floor 20, meet me there and you get to see Risa. Although we will fight to determine if you will live." The young sweeper eyes winced in pain as a loud screech came before static was only heard. "Must've broken it."
Floor 2
Naruto looked and saw a table filled with, "Are they naked?" Naruto turn greened when a certain male's privates were on display along with women's own- hey that one had piercings on her nips! "Why would they do that?"
"My thoughts exactly."
…
No sooner when the last word was barely finished Naruto had his pistol on the man's temple when reappearing to the new person's side, "Alright if you want to live you better start talking."
"C'mon, don't be like that." The man said, raising his hands. "I'm just doing what I'm told...vulpine boyo."
Naruto blinked before pulling his arm back, "Wait...Wolf?"
Naruto turns his head to see the churchman waving at him, "Yo~ Sorry I thought it was a simple bodyguard job." The man said as Naruto put his gun on his forehead and looked scared at the weapon ready to kill him, "HeyHEYHEY~! Swearies~!"
"Ugh…" Naruto groaned before lowering his gun.
"Ha, anyway the floors above us are filled with mercs. A quarter is...well there." Wolfwood said pointing to the table of dead naked killers. "The last three-fourths are waiting, and that's mentioning the gas, electrical, and fire traps that punk also laid out."
"Noted. Anything else I should be aware of?" Naruto asked.
"Nothing much…" He said going to the vending machines nearby and pushed them away to show a large cross-bounded by cloth and many belts making sure to keep it tight.
"I'm not gonna ask…" Naruto deadpanned.
The man smirked as he undid the belts to show a large metal cross as he used the top line of it to tuck it between his arm and body. Then putting his hand in the empty circle he grip it to show the large line of the cross suddenly expanded to show a gun in it. "Don't worry you aren't the target."
"Wha- Dude I don't want you killing anyone!"
The man lowered his gun ignoring the loud 'thud' that it made, "Well then tell me not to breath too, why don't cha?!"
Naruto glared at the man before pointing at the cross gun, "Thou shall not kill jackass! What kinda church man are you?!"
…
Wolfwood gave a stun looked before chuckling, "Whoa, deja vu! I haven't heard that in years, alright you follow me kid. I'll take on most of the mercs, you get your sweetie." He said moving towards the stairs, as Naruto was about to speak.
"She's not...why does everyone assume we're dating?!" He yelled to no one as he rushed forward to where his fellow Sweeper was.
XXXXX
"Naruto, I missed one!" Wolfwood screamed as he guns down a woman mercilessly as before slamming his cross on her head for good measure!
"On it." The teen said as he moved to the corner to see the man from it, quickly taking a few shots at Naruto who flips his body to throw his knife at the man's stomach. Before jumping off a wall that he landed to return to the man to grab the weapon and spilt his stomach! As the teen watched as his innards spill out even though the man tried to push them back in. He blankly watched before turning away even though the man was screaming in pain for death.
"Alright, this is the fifteenth floor right?" He said with a sigh as he saw the floor nearly covered in the decease mercs blood.
"Yep, five more to go." Wolf said before looking at Naruto sadly, he didn't like it when a child was this good at killing. But it would be pretty hypocritical of him to say something when Naruto knows the repercussions of this career.
"Alright, let's keep moving." Naruto said, before going up the stairs.
"No, here." The man said, pointing at the elevator, "I'll take care of them, and this-" Wolfwood stated passing Naruto a small USB, "Will allow you to go, the camera's stop at this floor so that punk won't notice the difference. Floor 19, he was going to push off Risa next floor when you can to get you more piss."
"Wolf… I…"
"Thank me after you rescue your sweetheart." Wolf winked with a grin. "Now get going."
Naruto was going to say something but sighed, "I will prank him at the bar next time… I will prank him next time…" He repeated the mantra as he entered the door and inserted the drive into the slot. After the lights came on, Naruto hit the number he needed and waited as the machine did its work. He quickly took out his phone and smiled barely two bars it was enough to make a call, "Hey Sven."
"Naruto? Man, I was worried I saw your gun lighting up the place and thought you were in trouble. What's up need help?"
"Nah, I got help from the inside. "Believe it or not, it's Wolf."
"Wolfwood? Well good, that man is one of the top ten for a reason." The white suited man stated before he breathing was gone. "Hey, your Sniper told me that your girl is on the unfinished floor. You got to be-"
*BZZZT!*
Naruto looked at his device to sigh as it was disconnected.
DING~!
"Great…" Naruto declared watching the doors open to see a darkened room. His eyes looking before taking a step out and flash out his gun forcibly moving the chamber to the correct slot that held the bullet he needed.
"Risa!? Are you here!?" Naruto called out, he shrugged as he heard the location of the room. And show at the ceiling from where he was, adding just a bare amount of Fire Chakra into the chamber and-
FOOOSH~!
Naruto smiled as he saw a blonde haired teen wearing a black high schooler outfit sitting in the middle of the room. Above him a small jet of fire was pouring out steadily from the place Naruto had just shot. "Well, to think I finally met the No Blood King." He said yawning standing up before quickly moving away from the flames as it was too close to for him to care for. "So wanna a beer?" He pointed to the mini-fridge that was on the right side of Naruto. "I also made a small run to nearest 7/11 to get some snacks."
"No thanks asshole. I'm here for Risa. Where is she?" Naruto asked.
"Top floor...for another ten mins." He said turning on a phone and nodded, "Yeah. Ten mins or else splat."
Naruto body stiffens at that meaning, "What do you mean?"
"She tied herself up and I used a rope that would rip after a flame would burn it in half." The teen said taking out a pistol. "So you better hurry."
"Damn you…" He growled.
The two stood there as a whole minute went by…
BANG~!
The two both shot their first bullet although-
"Dammit, how he got me first?" Naruto gritted his teeth as he saw a small red line where the bullet went through his left forearm skin. It wasn't life threatening but it was going to be a pain to lift it up. "Too bad that was a surplus bullet; I should have used the Lightning Cage one."
"You sure you should be hanging around here? I mean your girl's about to be a pancake. A… bloody pancake."
Naruto nodded before scooting to the side as his right arm went to the left side and pull the trigger, "Got ya."
"SHIT!"
The blonde stood and ran towards where the voice said and saw the teen clutching his leg, "Sorry." Naruto said taking out his knife to stab the teen, which lean forward and smiled as he saw Naruto falling forward for missing his attack. Naruto watched as the crazed killer reach from his behind and pulled out another pistol, "Shit."
*BANG!*
"Shit, what the hell!?" Naruto growled, barely dodging the bullet by rolling to the side, and quickly ran knowing that the teen had an upper hand as Naruto had to gain distance.
"WHOO! This is fun!" The killer stated as he shot more bullets at Naruto's retreating side. "Hey… quick question." He started losing Naruto as the darkness reclaims their sights when the fire finally died out. "How did you find me so easily?"
"Does it even matter at this point?" Naruto retorted.
"C'mon if I die I wanna know how you did it. Besides… I think I figured it… OUT!" He said turning behind himself to use his gun once more shooting a moving shadow! But frowned it was just a cloth.
"Well let me ask you something," Naruto said. "Why the hell are you so obsessed with killing me?"
"No reason, I kill my class then another class. I just like killing, why do you do it?" The teen said moving to a pillar to find another gun he hidden away.
"For better reasons than killing just for the sake of killing," Naruto answered as he saw a shadow move and fired, but frowned when he missed. "So what, you used Risa just to lure me out and kill me for fun?"
"Basically, it was either her or that sister of yours. But that pink-haired girl socked me in the face when I answered the door!" The teen said rubbing his face at the sudden attack. "So Risa was the easier of the two as she just finished."
Naruto was going to buy Lala whatever food she was going to want for dinner, "Wait… finished what?"
"Oh, you don't know?" The teen said. "I thought you realized by now,"
"Then spell it out for me!"
"Masturbating, she was flicking her bean for y-"
"DUDE SHUT UP!"
The killer realized something… he looked and saw Naruto staring at him with a red face.
…
…
…
"How did you do that?" Was the killer only response watching Naruto blinking, but both realized they had each other.
"MARGARET TAKE THE SHOT!" Naruto said as the teen realized in Naruto's hand had a bright screen of a flip cell phone.
"Shi-"
BOOOM~!
Naruto and the killer teen were flung back as a single bullet came in, but with such great power, it tore through the entire wall! But the young killer was smiling...even as his head was splattered all over, only three-fourths of it remains along with his left eye. But a smile was still there with one thing on his mind.
'This was so fun~!'
Thud…
From the building over was Sven standing next to a gothic lolita woman who smiled, retracting herself from her scope on her scythe-sniper rifle.
"Nice shot." Sven grinned
"Man, that was hard. The infrared scope was easy but I couldn't tell which was which," The woman complained falling back on her butt from the long stance she was in to make the shot. "But him telling me to shoot the one who was not upside down was easy though."
"At least that guy's done." Sven sighed. "Hey kid, can you read me? Your girls still is hanging in there, quite literally."
"Got it, pay Mar for what she wants," Naruto said as he went upstairs.
"So…" Sven turns to the woman smiling at him.
"Two dates with Naruto-kun, with sex on the second one!" The woman said as the adult sighed… time to protect the boy's innocence… again. Dammit, why can't he be the one offered for sex?! "I hate being single…"
LINE BREAK
"Risa." Naruto said as he saw… Risa sitting in place eating a bento box.
She smiled throwing away the box as she rushed towards him, "Naruto! Are you okay?" She said hugging him. "I mean sheesh, I mean that weirdo let me have fun and food. But-"
"Risa…"
"Yeah…?"
Naruto then pulled her in to hug. "You don't have to act like everything is okay…"
Risa looked down and shivered… the blonde had no doubt that even her usual cool face had trouble when meeting actual Sweepers and Killers in her life. Most would have screamed and been gagged, "...I-I saw people die just because I told them to play poker. That guy was the same age as us, I thought maybe you were joking when you and that Sven man were talking about targets."
"Risa…"
"I-I was scared… I didn't want to die. I'm so sorry, I-"
Naruto didn't say anything but just tighten his hold on her, before feeling her grip him back even tighter. Before he heard her weep softly, "It's okay."
XXXXX
"So I already contacted the government about Kazuo's death," Koko said as Naruto, Sven, Risa, Wolfwood, and Margaret were in Koko's bar, Valkyries Waterhole. Looking at the dead body of the teen, "Damn that Wind Burst Bullet did a number on him."
Magaret smiled as she looked at the empty shell Naruto gave her a long time ago, "Indeed, it tore open the wall like it was paper."
"I'll say. I thought it was gonna tore through me too." Naruto said.
"So? What they say?" Sven asked Koko.
"They were going to ask if Naruto can take the corpse to them… but…" The white-haired woman lost any amusement as her eyes became dark and serious. "We know that Chronos was probably waiting for him."
The four Sweepers nodded before Koko pat the dead body of the high prize target, "So… I talk them down for a small bounty for them to take. Sorry, Naruto I should have spoken to you about it, but I was pressed for time."
"It's fine. No skin off my back." Naruto waved off. "I'm just glad it's done and over with."
"How are you holding up Risa?" Sven asked as the girl was given a small hot drink and some pills that Koko gave for what she calls 'Kidnap anxiety'.
"Still… shaken." Risa mumbled, but most of her face was still colorful than pale awhile ago. "So you three really do this? Killing and getting paid?"
"Basically," Koko said with a dark smile, "I used to be a Weapons dealer, Margaret just killed for fun, Sven here used to work for the FBI as their best hitman, and Naruto here works for the local Yakuza by the Ryougi family."
"Hey, Shiki will stab you for spilling that secret. I ain't saving you from my boss's wrath anymore." Naruto deadpan at the woman who smiled before hearing her phone was ringing.
"Yeah? No that's fine, I'll settle for that."
Risa looked at Naruto when watching Koko starting to write down some notes, "What's she is doing?"
"Calling the right people to dispose of the body and also get rid of any evidence that will lead back to Naruto." Wolfwood said as he saw the blonde looked away. "Its one of the rare times to see him actually break his oath."
"Oath?" The teen female said as Koko went to the back, as the white-haired sniper smiled angelically.
"There is a reason for he is the No-Blood King, many assassins, sweepers, and of the like follow him." She sang out softly soothing the girl's heart gently. "Thus we no longer sin~"
The white suit man nodded with a reassuring smile, "Basically, he barely kills people only when they are really evil like-"
"Sven…" Naruto frowned. "We'll explain later, no more talk about our jobs." He softly warned as the others, they all gave silent looks of understanding as their white-haired ally came back.
"Alright, alright," Sven raised his hands in defense.
"So good news," Koko started to hopefully break the ice, "You get 2.2 Million yet, of course, I will take that point two as my commission fee. It wasn't easy to get barely half of the full bounty." She said shaking her head, "But some bad news, I want you to go on break for now."
"Break?" Naruto said in surprised.
"What? Why?" Sven asked.
"Well I just got the phone with Sawyer, she never sees that much blood in a while. The cops are going to search for traces of DNA, while we do our best to make sure to get involved with local crime area. Naruto is with the Yakuza, they will do anything to get him in jail and if that happens…"
"Cronos…" Margaret said with a small frown at the secret organization.
Koko nodded to that answer before turning her body to see Kazuo's body, "Not just that, but with the highest bounty off the table. It makes them want Naruto even more, no doubt they will be sending agents to make me spill the beans on where you are or tell them your weaknesses."
"So I gotta stay low?" Naruto questioned.
"At least until the whole thing blows over."
"How long is that…?"
The white-haired beauty gave a Cheshire smile, "Don't know… maybe you should stay with me for that time~" She winked at the idea before they heard shuffling from behind her, "You got to be-" She started before her right arm was forced behind her back, and felt a sharp blade on her neck.
Soon Naruto and the rest had their guns on the person who taken Koko, hostage, it was Kazuo! "How are you alive?" Naruto asked as the teen who was wheezing.
"Not for… much longer… a little thing I took from Chronos. Thought it would be a fitting prize-" He said before his body slumped and fell back, as Koko moved towards Naruto who held with his free hand.
"He's dead now," Margaret stated moving towards the body but stabbing the heart to be sure with a kitchen knife that the killer had on him.
Naruto moved Margaret as he dug into the teen's coat to find a small flash drive, gripping it as he nodded. Before closing the open eyes of the deceased, "I'll take Risa home." Naruto said, turning to the girl. "Let's go."
"O-Okay…" Risa nodded meekly.
LINE BREAK
"Hey-" Mikan started but stop as Naruto brought Risa into their home. She went to start a quick bath. No doubt the mission was a bit FUBAR.
"Naruto what happened?" Rito said with a serious look, "Did Risa-"
"She's fine Rito, just in case here." He passed the teen the item that the Killer deems as his prize. "Can you crack this open?"
"Huh, haven't seen one of these in while," Rito said staring at it as he went to the couch to pull out a small laptop. "Ah, it really has a good system for a flash drive."
"Can you crack it or not?"
"I'm on it."
Naruto smiled seeing his adopted brother working hard to unlock the item; Rito was pretty good with technology. The few times Naruto couldn't have his stuff unlock Rito has done it for him; it soon escalated the usual easily flustered teen to be a skilled Code Breaker for Naruto. "Can you do it before we're sleeping?"
"Should," Rito stated as his fingers were flying to each key without missing a beat.
"Haruna is naked." Naruto lied as he dramatically pointed to the kitchen.
"That's nice…" He muttered as Naruto patted his head.
"Now if we can get you to confess her in this state," Naruto muttered as Risa couldn't help but giggled at the small jab at RIto.
"No, dinner is fine."
XXXXX
"Rito please come to the table to eat." Mikan sighed watching her older brother still work on his laptop. "You can at least spare a few moments to eat right?"
"Yeah, you can borrow my bike."
"That was when we were kids…" She said before looking at Naruto and Risa both looked better than when they enter the household. The youngest of the siblings smiled, as the situation wasn't as she thought. "I'll clean the dishes, the bath should be ready. Risa-chan you can go first." The young girl said as the blonde girl nodded kindly.
Watching the girl leave towards the upstairs where the bathroom was located Naruto moved towards the fellow male and saw him finished up. "So what we got?"
Rito eyes seem to snap back to reality as he shrugged, "Seems...like a file, there are still tons of data I haven't mined yet, but it's the only one that was able to be done. Here…" he clicks on the file as it showed two documents on them.
The Master's Plan and the EVolution project.
"Open the first one," Naruto asked the orange-haired male did so, opening up the Master's Plan larger to read the contents.
The Master is getting on everyone's nerves, he really wants -Static- to do god knows what. Even Cronos is starting to watch out for this guy, we are doing our best to please him while figuring out how to beat him. Not sure or why, but this guy was able to live since War World 1, not sure how we can kill him as look like if he's in his twenties.
The Numbers were also about to head out for capturing -Static- I was supposed to do it, but I am technically 'grounded' for the last mission. Still I hope -Static- will be fine until I come, the raises of aliens are also a factor. A princess of sorts just arrive, I wonder how this effect with my job as part of the Numbers.
Naruto frowned at this, who is this person and this person that Master could want with the name that seems to be phased out. "And the second?" Rito ten enlarge the second one.
Naruto's ratio: 25%
GD: 75%
All attempts are failures; Tear-Static- was let go according to The Master. Unknown what has happened to the last subject, if found kill on sight.
…
Now...that was something worrisome, as he saw the last note.
UPDATE: We found the last one, in three weeks' time if we don't find -Static- we shall capture Naruto and reeducate him.
"Naruto…" Rito frowned as he finished the document, not at all pleased with the information he obtained.
"It's fine, try to get more tomorrow. After school…" Naruto smiled at Rito to lessen his worries. "If possible get that location."
The orange-haired teen nodded, "Right."
"Now if it's all the same to you, I am going to sleep," Naruto announced as he felt this day was too long for his taste. Killing someone's father, a friend was kidnapped, and now something is using or something for god knows what. Reaching his room, he made sure to lock it when he entered it, as it wasn't a good idea for his siblings to enter his unannounced when he has been on high alert.
"Naruto."
He turned to see Risa, in her pajamas (Naruto had bought some for any of his female allies if they slept over.) Sitting in his bed. "Risa? What's wrong?"
"Can I sleep here… please?" She asked looking at him with meek eyes, "I don't want to be alone after that."
He nodded as he took out a spare futon that was in his closet before can turn around he felt the young girl's body press on his back and her hands slip around his tone stomach. "I don't care if you're a killer or Sweeper, you save me. Like back then...when I was just a wallflower until you showed me being different was okay. You're… my hero…"
The No-Blood King eyes widen from the kind words before smiling softly. He was a killer, but he still had a small issue to have people acknowledge him. "Thank you…" he knows what he will do, is stupid but he decided she and he both earn it. Turning around he lifted the woman earning a cute squeak of surprise before laying her down on the bed before sliding next to her. Enjoying her stun face, while his eyes droop from the tiredness of this day. She was about to say something until he placed a finger on her lips, "Tomorrow you can do whatever you want but… let me sleep." He whined as the girl nodded… before his snooze was soon heard.
Risa shifted so she can prop herself up with an arm, leaning downwards to kiss the Sweeper's cheek. Before returning on her back, "You sure know how to capture a girl's heart Naruto-kun… but…" she slips her hand into his own, enjoying his rough hands on her soft ones. "You got me to fall for you all over again."
