Chapter 2
A New Start, A New Hell
What exactly constitutes a 'bad day'? Well, that all really depends on the person. It could stem from your alarm clock not waking you up in time to get to your job, getting home only to find your cat has escaped through the window (again), or even finding out the crush you have had for years has finally found someone else. It all differs from person to person.
In two blonde Uzumaki's case, who were currently sitting next to their camp fire they made for the night, their day might as well have been hell. Why you may ask? Well, after the discovery of a lifetime from Naruto finding out he had a daughter from the future (and oh, he will get to that in a minute), they had decided to quickly hightail it out of the village before the shell-shocked crowd around them could question them for summoning a demon into the middle of their town; leaving Morgan's unconscious bandits to the villager's mercy.
Now they were in the middle of the forest and after a heavy talk (which he will, once again, get to in a minute), they were now facing a new crisis. Between the two of them laid 3 cups of instant ramen; 2 cups were now empty and in the bellies of the two beast that consumed them. The other laid unopened before the still hungry duo as they tried to figure out who would get the last cup. They had no time to restock on supplies since their self-exile from South Town and the only food left on their person was what was in front of them. They absolutely refused to split the remaining cup in half since "it was a blasphemous act that would send your soul straight to hell" as Morgan put it.
"…So, how are we doing this?" Naruto asked his daughter, his eyes never leaving the cup of ramen before him.
"…You could always give it to your cute, adorable little girl." the older blonde probably would have fell for that more if she'd put even an inch of emotion into that sentence. Like, seriously, Gaara could have put more feelings behind that act.
"Not a chance in hell."
"What ever happened to 'ladies first'?"
"What ever happened to 'equality'?"
"…."
"…."
"I'm younger, so my body needs more food to grow."
"And I'm older, so my body needs more food to stay alive."
"…."
"…."
"You're an ass."
"At least I have an ass."
Morgan didn't seem to have a comeback for that so she stayed quiet and continued to stare down the ramen as if it would boil itself on mental command.
"…We could play rock-paper-scissors for it." Naruto suggested, getting Morgan to slowly look up to her father unblinking.
"I have played rock-paper-scissors with you a total of 582 times in the last 7 years, and I have lost exactly 582 times. It took me seven years to figure out you were using a Genjutsu to cover up your losses and even longer to learn it, but even then, your reaction is so fast that you literally change your choice before I even complete my own. What makes you think I want to play something I have a snowballs chance in hell at winning?"
Naruto looked blankly back up at his daughter before looking back to the cup ramen, "…You got me there." The current Naruto would have probably never thought to do such an ingenious thing, but apparently his future self was an even bigger genius than he was now. He would have to make sure to get Morgan to tell him more about his future self after this little 'debate'.
Naruto broke the silence with a sigh. "Look, why don't we settle this like adults? We can both just…just." The blonde stopped when he looked down and saw the cupped ramen gone. His head shot up just in time to see Morgan haul-assing into the woods. He sat there for only a second in disbelief before shooting to his feet and darting after the girl who just stole the last treasure he had on this continent.
"GET BACK HERE GAKI!" Naruto shouted as he hunted down the ramen thief.
"YOU'RE BEING SELFISH OLD MAN! I HAVEN'T HAD RAMEN IN DAYS AND I'M DAMN WELL NOT SHARING THIS LAST CUP!" Morgan shouted back as she made circles in the trees.
"ITS MY RAMEN YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHIT! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT I EVEN GAVE YOU ONE CUP, GAKI!"
"SELFISH OLD GNOME!"
"UNGRATEFUL MIDGET!"
"BIG TALK COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO'LL NEVER REACH PASS 6 FOOT!"
"...YOU'D BETTER PRAY TO KAMI I DON'T CATCH YOU!"
After only a few minutes of pursuit, Naruto finally tackled the blonde midget to the ground and wrestled for the cup ramen that she successfully kept out of his reach. "You're making this harder than it needs to be! Just give me back th-KYAAOOOOOOW! BITING IS ILLEGAL! BITING IS ILLEGAL!"
Unexpectedly, the two blondes little fight came to a pause when they heard crunching. They both looked away from each other, one with a mouth full of cloth and flesh and the other with a hand pushing away the shorter of the two, towards the direction the crunching was coming from. They were shocked to find, of all things, a bear crunching on something very familiar. Apparently Morgan had let go of the ramen sometime between their little scuffle and forgot to retrieve her prize.
After the bear was finished chewing, it gave them a long, hard stare before turning around and walking away. Either the bear was now full, or thought the humans were not worth its time.
Both blondes did nothing but look at the beast walking away with their ramen while sporting expressionless masks over their faces.
"…Y'know, bear meat isn't that bad." Naruto stated as he took another bite out of the peace of meat in his hand. Morgan on the other hand was not eating as enthusiastically as her father. She was staring down at the meat in her hand with a pout.
"You could have just given me the last cup, Dad. Unlike you, I haven't had ramen in days and when I finally get the chance to eat the food of the Gods, you just HAD to be a meathead and try to take it for yourself!" said the girl as she frowned at her father.
"If I recall, you were the one who stole my ramen. Ramen that I was so gracious to share with you since you didn't have any food." Naruto made sure to emphasize his point by pointing his piece of bear meat at his daughter who had the nerve to not look ashamed.
"…Whatever." Was all she said before digging back into her less desirable meal.
As they sat in silence, Naruto couldn't help but to go over everything that led to this moment. After dismissing the Kyuubi and fleeing from the village, Naruto and Morgan had finally stopped to go over everything they both knew. Naruto now knew for a fact that this girl was indeed his daughter. That little stunt she pulled back in the village was just the proof he needed to confirm her claims since he had made that jutsu over 80 years ago to give Kurama a sense of freedom from his cage without killing them both in the process. If he created that seal almost a century ago, then he could only come up to two conclusions:
One—she had the curse of immortality much like he did. This was thrown out the window since Morgan was firm on the fact that she had only lived for 12 years and had never been to the Elemental Nations. In order for her to find out the hands seals to perform the summoning of the Kyuubi, she would have had to be there or had to have seen him do it on that side of the world. Considering that he has only summoned Kurama once in the 10 years he had been here, he highly doubted she could have seen him do it especially since she should have only been 2 at the time.
Second—and the correct one-she had, somehow, come from the future. Now, this would have been a very stupid idea to the people on this side of the world seeing the closest thing they had to technology was a stove, but to the shinobi who had seen the dead risen, a meteor summoned from space and a Goddess in the flesh, this was not so unbelievable. Hell, if Kaguya could stop his time, then it wouldn't be too far-fetched to know she could send people forward in time as well. If you combined that with the fact the sage cloak and head band she wore was an exact copy from the metal plate he wore and cloak he always had on his person, being from the future was the only logical explanation.
He remembered when they came to this conclusion…only for Morgan to outright laugh in his face. He was sure if she had seen the things he had seen, then she would not have laughed so hard. Him pointing out the signs did not seem to make her any less skeptical. She swore up and down that she wasn't from the future, but not only could she not remember much of what happened the day she was 'separated from her father' besides the fact that they were at some altar in Plegia, she also had no idea how she got to South Town.
She said she woke up in a bed she didn't remember going to sleep in. She remembered her entire body aching and her head foggy before a man she had never met walked in with a cup of soup. After a confusing conversation and the woman telling her the blonde was found on the outskirts of the villagers by one of the farmers, Morgan panicked and went out in search for him. After almost a day of searching, she returned to the same place and waited—thinking he would come back for her. In a way, he did; even if it was unintentional.
Now, they were in the present and they still had the big question: How?
The altar was the only thing they could go off of, but every time she tried to recall the memory he had forced her to think of other things since it caused her an intense migraine. He didn't know if the future him had something to do with it, but he couldn't seem to find any seals so he had to chop it up to the aftereffect of time-travel.
The next thing he had to address was the presence of Kaguya that was leaking from the girl. He had entered his Six Paths cloak form in order to fully get the location of where the chakra signature was coming from. Sure enough, the chakra was leaking like a dripping faucet every other second from behind her eye-patch. Not even some of the best sensors would have been able to feel it coming from her even if they were right in her face. The only reason Naruto could sense it was because of his Six Paths mode and even then he would have to be right in front of her in order to point it out.
He was going right for the eye patch when Morgan suddenly slapped his hand away and brought her arms up in an 'X'.
"Denied!" She shouted as she slowly scooted away from her father. "You told me specifically to never ever, ever, EVER, take off this eye patch no matter who asked me-you included. You said something very bad will happen to the people around me if I took it off and I'm not strong enough to handle its power. If I were to ever do it before then, you said I would blow up for being a 'disobedient child'. I love you Dad, I really do, but I love my life a little bit more, 'Dattebane!"
Naruto could honestly understand that. From the childish way she worded it, most people would think her father was playing around, but he was a seal master for a reason. If his future-self had to seal away whatever was behind that eye-patch, then he had a damn good reason to do so and Naruto had no plans to tempt fate just to sate his curiosity. No matter how much he had changed in the past 100 years, he still would not give up the life of an innocent just to reach his goals. If the power behind that eye-patch had the answers he needed, then he would study the seal and find a safe way to stop whatever was behind it before removing it.
Which actually led him to a good question, "Do you at least know what's behind the eye-patch."
Her answer was immediate, "Yep!"
A smile grew. "Can you tell me?"
Her answer was even faster, "Nope!"
The smile dropped.
….
Now in the present, he had to investigate the Bijuu chakra within her. Morgan had said she was not a Jinchuuriki, but the fact that she summoned a second Kurama, which by all accounts was just impossible and only strengthened his theory that she was indeed from the future, said otherwise. Even if she did not remember becoming a Jinchuuriki, she was, in fact, a Jinchuuriki. The complicated seal she clearly had on her stomach with a formula Naruto had never seen before did not say otherwise. Not understanding some of the patterns on the seal, he was forced to enter into her mindscape to try and communicate with the Bijuu that was most likely slumbering and waiting for his first visitor. Maybe he could have the answers he was looking for. One hand on the little girl's head, and he was within her mindscape within seconds.
Naruto had gotten the second surprise of the day when instead of finding a cage with at least a Bijuu sealed within, he found a sunny sky with a wide meadow that bloomed multiple types of flowers as far as the eye could see. There was no sign of a Bijuu anywhere, but the feel of their chakra completely saturated the air. It was one of the most beautiful things Naruto had ever seen and hands down the most peaceful presence he had ever felt. With just a thought, he was in Sage Mode and he felt his body shutter in pure bliss. It was like swimming through a pool of positive energy. This girl has either never been tainted by the hatred of this world, or had one of the purest souls he had ever been thankful to be in the presence of.
He was almost sad that he had to leave—scratch that, he WAS sad he had to leave. He would have been content to live a millennium within her mindscape and would not have complained even once. This girl was truly something special, and she was his daughter. How could someone so pure be the daughter of someone so tainted with sorrow and regret for nearly a century?
Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned around when he felt a presence behind him. Sure enough, there was Kurama…as happy as he had ever seen the Bijuu, and was currently...chasing his nine tails...like a dog. The scene was so unnatural that Naruto had to rub his eyes and look again…
Nope, Kurama was still running in a circle and apparently in his own little world. Naruto stood there for almost a full minute when the Kurama in the distance finally noticed his presence and stopped on a dime. He had a tail in his mouth and was staring wide eyed at the blonde shinobi that entered his personal paradise.
The silence didn't last long because 3 seconds later Naruto burst into uncontrollable laughter as he pointed at the fox in the distance. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So this is what you do when I'm not around?! I knew your hard-ass attitude was all an act! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm never taking you seriously again!" If Naruto could see underneath the fox's fur coat, then he would see red cheeks in both anger and embarrassment. Not a second later the fox was charging at the blonde brat that dared laughed at his moment of weakness.
Just before the fox was about to swallow the blonde whole, he suddenly vanished and left nothing behind but his laughter that echoed throughout the meadow.
"You will never, EVER speak of what you just saw to anyone, Uzumaki!" Kurama growled to his host as he continued to laugh his as off in the real world. It was safe to say Morgan was very confused for the 5 minutes her father stayed still while grabbing her head. She had promptly thought he had lost his mind when he suddenly burst out laughing and began rolling on the ground. She became even more confused when she heard growling in her head, but chopped it up to it being her imagination.
After calming down, Naruto finally sat up and smiled at his daughter. "You are, without a doubt, a Jinchuuriki and from the future!" He stated, a little too chipper for the little girl. "You contain all the Bijuu's chakra in your body, much like I do, and Kurama is staying happily within your bubbly. Little. Head." The older blonde emphasized his point by poking the girl in the forehead after every pause, much to her annoyance. "I don't know how you got them, or how the future me was able to remove all the chakra from my body to yours without killing himself, but I'm sure there was a goo-"
Naruto suddenly stopped and shot to his feet as he felt the buildup of chakra dangerously close to their location. It was on a wide scale and whatever was just cast was going to have a large area of effect.
The first sign was the lack of birds chirping.
Or crickets.
Or any sound of life at all. When the hell had it gotten so quiet?
Then the earth shook and Naruto quickly sprung into action. All his years of training quickly shot through his head and he was now barking orders at the girl on the ground who was looking around in confusion and fear. "Morgan! Seal whatever you can and follow me! Now!" Thankfully, there was only a slight moment of hesitation from the younger Uzumaki before she nervously nodded her head and began sealing the unfinished tent. Naruto quickly grabbed his sages scroll before strapping it on his back and looking back to his daughter. She was just getting finished and was already on her feet.
It was a good thing they were because the ground where their camp fire once burned was now splitting apart and lava began shooting out of the cracks. Within seconds, Naruto and Morgan was running in the opposite direction and getting as far away from the earthquake as possible. The duo had to dodge multiple flaming boulders that came falling from the sky while avoiding the cracks in the earth that kept cutting them off. Morgan also nearly lost her life if not for Naruto quickly pulling his daughter into his arms out jumping out of the way of a falling boulder that got too close for comfort.
"D-dad, what's going on?" Morgan asked, her voice shaking and fear clear in her eyes from nearly losing her life.
"I wish I knew." Naruto grimly replied to his daughter as they headed deeper into the woods and away from the flaming forest. He could see animals both alive and being burned alive as they fled from the approaching inferno. It was truly Armageddon.
After getting far enough away from the rising earth, Naruto stopped and carefully put his daughter on her feet. The second Morgan was on the ground, she saw her father begin running up the tallest tree near them. She didn't need to be told to follow and she jumped after him to survey the area. What Morgan saw would forever be etched into her mind.
The world was burning. The entire forest was on fire and the earth was breathing out lava in pools. Animals were running for their lives and what looked like burning meteors were raining from the sky and causing destruction across the land. She had never seen something so horrible in her entire life. She had fought battles since she was 10 and had fought many bandits in her life. She even had the displeasure of seeing the after effects of a pillaged village and the horrors that came with it, but this…this was not an enemy she could fight with her own hands.
It was while she was thinking that that she realized her heart was pounding in her chest. When did it become harder to breathe? She absently brought a hand to her hand to her chest as she continued to look at the hell in front of her. The longer she looked, the faster she could hear her heart beat and the heavier her breathing became. She could feel something wet rolling down her face but she could not tell if it was sweat or tears. She couldn't think straight anymore and now she couldn't breathe.
Wait, why couldn't she breathe?! Why wouldn't air come out of her lungs, damn it?! Breathe damn it! BREATHE! PLEASE BREATHE!
She was now pleading to anyone to give her air, but no one answered her prayers and her body refused to listen to her commands. It hurt. It really really hurt. She now knew it was tears falling from her eyes. Tears of hopelessness and fear. At that time, she couldn't even register the fact that her right eye was pulsing angrily at the thick chakra around her, nor could she feel that her body was shaking uncontrollably and she lost her grip on the tree she was on.
D-dad, help me, please. I-it hurts. Please, save me! She wanted to scream. Her body was demanding air and she was just so scared that it was denying the thing she wanted most. She couldn't think straight anymore and all she wanted was for her father to be there for her like he always had. Hell, she didn't care if it was her father. Just, someone, ANYONE, help her!
It was as if Kami finally heard her plea since moments later she regained the ability to gather air into her lungs. She took a deep, healthy breath of fresh air as she looked around in a panic. The ground was a lot closer than she remembered and didn't her father already put her down? When did she get back in her father's arms?
"Calm down, calm down." Her father spoke as she could feel his chakra flowing smoothly through her chakra stream. She began to relax more and her breathing was beginning to slow as it was becoming easier and easier to breathe. "It's OK now, Morgan. Just keep breathing in and out for me. You're going to be OK."
And she believed every word her father said as her body began to relax once again.
…
Naruto frowned as he looked down at the recovering girl. The malice in the area from Kaguya and another chakra signature he had never felt before was poisoning the air around them. It was so thick and filled with malice that even Kurama shuddered. That was saying something when the killing intent in the air was thicker than even that of the Nine-Tails. The very chakra was destroying the landscape around them and sending the animals into a panic.
If it wasn't from the sudden surge of Kaguya's chakra he could feel coming directly to his right then even he would have missed Morgan falling from the tree with a look of complete terror on her face. Apparently, she wasn't able to take the killing intent that was assaulting her chakra network and nearly payed for it with her life. That actually made him frown. Surely his future-self had prepared her for situations like this? There was no way he could train his daughter without teaching her something as simple as throwing off killer intent? It just brought up more and more questions on how the girl was raised in a world that was seemingly as chaotic as this.
Within seconds of his senses going off, Naruto had a shadow clone summoned and taking Morgan into a hiding place in the woods-completely ignoring her shouts of protest in the process. There was now a kunai in his hand and he stared intensely at the direction the chakra signatures had snuck up on him. With so much chakra in the air he almost didn't catch the strong chakra signatures that were heading his way. Sure enough, breaking out of the woods were two noble looking individuals. One was a girl holding what looked like a healing staff that had a tide-like design at the tip that surrounded a spherical gem in the center. She wore a hoop skirt with the skirt spit on both sides and had a cage crinoline underneath with white stockings that went to her waist and leather boots. On top of the dress she wore what looked like a long white apron with a leather corset that pushed up her almost non-existent chest and had blonde pig-tails that went to her shoulders. All-in-all she was the perfect depiction of royalty that came second to Emmeryn.
The man next to her however, was different. He was a muscular young man with hair as blue as the rest of his outfit and sharp blue eyes to boot. He wore an elegant looking long sleeved shirt that was sleeveless on the right and proudly showed a tear drop brand that Naruto had only seen on one other person on this side of the world. He also wore a long white cape and a silver metal plate that looked like it hovered over his right shoulder with an elegant looking sword strapped to his right as well as grey gloves on both hands. To end it, he wore two long boots with one matching the color of his outfit while the other was completely grey. This man clearly had no sense of symmetry and Ino would shed a tear in anguish at the fashion disaster in front of him.
Evidently, the situation became hostile quickly the moment the blue haired man saw the kunai held defensively in the shinobi's hand, so he drew his own blade in retaliation. He wanted to ask questions like "why were they here" or find out how the hell these two seemed fine with all this killing intent poisoning the area, but the prince beat him to it.
"Who are you?" The man barked out at the shinobi who didn't even blink. Naruto knew who this man was. Kami, how could he not when his chakra felt so similar to the woman he had come to admire on this side of the world.
This was Chrom-Prince of Ylisse and younger brother of Exalt Emmeryn. From what looked like an Emmeryn lookalike behind the prince, Naruto could deduce that the little girl was Lissa, Princess of Ylisse. Wow, he really did have the Devil's luck. Seeing the two were not a danger to him, Naruto slowly lowered his guard. He may be able to kick this boy's ass from here to Konoha, but even he wasn't dumb enough to have two nations pissed off at him at once (even if one was unintentional).
"Not your enemy." Naruto reassured, his actions being rewarded with the prince slowly lowering his own sword.
Then Naruto's eyes widened and he turned around sharply to gaze up to the sky as all the chakra in the area was being summoned to a single point above the forest. He could vaguely here the princess behind him say something, but his eyes were focused on what was happening before him. What looked like the edges of a magic circle with a clock design was currently rotating in the air and multiple white lights were compounding into one giant ball in the center. Then the ball of light flattened and the crease in the space opened and a blue eye looked down on the world. The power behind that one eye was as if Kami himself was looking down on the world and it only made Naruto's brow furrow. Whatever that was in the air had Kaguya written all over it and he would be damned to let her chakra signature get away now that he was so close to it.
Then the eye began spitting out multiple of what looked like humanoid figures that fell 500 feet from the air to the ground—two landing a few feet away from the trio. Naruto and Chrom got back into battle stances as the figures in the distance were now on their feet. Naruto could hear the distinct sound of bones popping as the dark figures got to their feet and what looked like rusted axes.
Naruto didn't even know how to describe these abominations before him. Naruto had seen multiple jutsu that revived the dead. Most came from Orochimaru's and Kabuto's jutsu and even their labs would make even the sturdiest Jonin throw up in their mouths at their experiments. The bodies that were before the blonde right now only brought up bad memories for the immortal shinobi and the disgusting chakra leaking off of them reminded him too much of those who used Orochimaru's cursed seal.
Their bodies were almost pitch black and wore nothing but pants that were in tatters. The remains of what could have once been armor hung off their necks and their faces, Kami their faces, were rotted and had eyes that glowed a bright violet. These 'things' were corpses raised from the dead. Plain and simple.
"Lissa, stay back." He heard Chrom say and was now standing next to him. "I suppose I can count on your help, stranger?" the bluenette asked Naruto who only gave him a glance before nodding his head. Nothing else was said as the two fighters waited for their enemies to approach.
Then the two figures jumped toward the prince and shinobi with surprising speed and the battle was on.
Naruto immediately threw his kunai that sailed towards the incoming corpse. Much to the shinobi's surprise, the corpse raised its axe protectively in front of its head where the kunai bounced off harmlessly. Naruto didn't stay surprised for long since another kunai was in his hand and he was dashing at the corpse. Faster than the corpse could react, Naruto's enhanced his kunai with wind chakra and sliced right through the head of the corpse before it could even complete raising its axe to attack. The blonde turned around quickly just in case the corpse continued moving, but he was met with the corpse turning into smoke before its remains blew in the wind.
Naruto looked to his left to see that the Prince had just dispatched his enemy and was somehow sweating as if he had run a marathon. The shinobi deduced it to him still being tired from wherever the two siblings had come from.
Speaking of the other sibling, the two fighters suddenly heard a scream coming from their 6 and turned to see Lissa cowering in fear at two corpses staggering towards her with axes in hands. Naruto's eyes widened as he quickly dashed towards the blonde princess, Chrom not far behind. Naruto immediately took out a three-prong kunai as he saw the abominations were too close to the girl for him to make it with just enhanced chakra. He let the kunai sore through the air as he waited the kunai to get close enough to flash over.
The second the kunai passed the two corpses, he flared his chakra and within the blink of an eye he was gone from his position and was right in front of the two corpses with a Rasengan in one hand and the kunai he threw in the other. He mercilessly slammed the Rasengan into the chest of one of the zombies and let the energy blast the zombie back in a spinning heap. He went to dispatch the other with his kunai before watching as the corpse looked down in surprise at the familiar piece of metal sticking out of its torso. Then the sword sliced upwards and the abomination joint its brethren in their smoky afterlife.
Naruto looked to the place he thought Chrom would be only to find another blue haired individual with a blue butterfly like mask that only had three slits going horizontally on both sides where the eyes would be. He, or she, had on an all blue outfit with long blue boots that extended all the way to his/her mid thigh with grey edges and had long blue gloves that cut out the tips so the fingers could be free and went to his/her shoulders. He/she also had a tiara that Naruto could tell was holding back more hair and a blue cape that went down to his/her ankle and had the brand of Naga shown proudly. He/she was also sheathing the same sword he could have sworn he saw Chrom with and had a blank expression on his/her face.
One look behind the new arrival and Naruto saw Chrom walking towards them while sheathing…the same sword…
"You two are quite…something." The shinobi heard Chrom speak as he walked closer to the trio and stopped in front of his shaking sister that immediately enveloped him into a hug. He comforted his sister before looking back up to the two who had saved his sister. "Perhaps you can share yo-" Chrom blinked in confusion as the clearing was now 1 blonde short.
Naruto jumped through the trees as he headed towards the direction he felt his shadow clone pop. From the memories he received, the clone hid Morgan high in a tree when he saw the horde of corpses falling from the sky, which was fine. But the problem stemmed from what made his clone dispel.
The clone had fought off a number of the corpses far from Morgan's position. They were a lot stronger than the clone had anticipated, but he had no problem dealing with them. Apparently, something got the jump on him since a few seconds after dispatching the horde of corpses, something came in fast hit him when he tried to turn and dodge. Naruto didn't get to see what it was, but it had to be one of those corpses getting the better of his clone when it was running low on chakra. He might not know what killed his clone, but he knew it was too close to Morgan for comfort, so he quickly dashed towards her location as fast as he could.
It wasn't hard to find what killed his clone since there was a corpse currently marching towards the direction Morgan no doubt was with its giant red axe dragging against the ground. Unlike the many corpses he had slain on the way here, this one was distinctly different. Its body was midnight black and wore nothing but dark colored pants. Contrary to it's brethren, this abomination was a lot skinnier and had hair that went all the way down to the back of its knees. If that wasn't different enough, then the fact that there was a red malevolent aura that could be seen by the human eye leaking upwards from the things body really put Naruto on edge. This thing was strong. Stronger than all the other corpses he had the displeasure of meeting. In fact, this thing had one of the strongest chakra presence Naruto had ever felt on this side of the world.
And it made him smile; viciously.
The corpse stopped in it's tracks when it felt something behind him. It turned slowly to see the grinning face of one Naruto Uzumaki with a kunai in hand and ready for a fight. The abomination slowly turned it's body fully until it was facing it's new prey in the distance. There was a moment of silence only disturbed by the sound of crackling wood around them.
Then the two dashed forward and the battle began.
Within seconds the abomination was right in front of Naruto with it's axe raised high above its head. As the axe came down, the blonde ninja jumped to his right to avoid the blow that smashed against the earth and rose dirt into the air. Apparently the corpse was a lot smarter than the ninja gave it credit and used the dirt that rose into the air to mask its next attack as it swung its axe in an arc. Naruto looked surprise for only a moment before his grin was back and he immediately hopped over the axe. While airborne, he slammed his foot into the corpse's face and catapulted into the air while doing a graceful back-flip and landing on his feet a few yards away.
Naruto didn't think the corpse had feelings, but that was definitely a frown on its face as it charged him again. The shinobi met the corpse halfway and already had a kunai plunged into the corpses throat. The corpse didn't even act like it just had a blade plunged into it's body since it still brought down its massive axe on the immortal shinobi who easily slid out the way before he was chopped in two. As he moved, he quickly went through a few hands signs before stopping in the tiger sign.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu)!" Out of Naruto's mouth erupted a ball of fire that quickly consumed the corpse. Naruto may not have the element for fire, but thanks to a few Bijuu he didn't need to. Boy would Sasuke be proud if he could see him now. Naruto didn't finish his thoughts as before him the corpse was swinging madly inside the fire before coming out with its body even darker than before and missing parts of its face and an arm. He was forced to jump back again or face the now super-heated axe that seemed to melt the ground as it made contact.
Naruto's surprise would not stop there since the malevolence that once lifted from the abomination was now coming from the multiple holes that were in its body. Before the shinobi's eyes, the corpse was stitching itself back together much like when Kurama fixed his injuries. If that wasn't surprising enough, the malevolence began gathering at the axe as it raised it high into the air.
The shinobi's senses began flaring in his head and it told him to get the hell out of there. It was a good thing he did since the second the axe hit the ground there was an explosion of power and the earth began to crater around the abominations attack.
Naruto thinking quick on his toes made two shadow clones and ordered them to find Morgan while he watched the phenomenon in front of him. The corpse was now in a 5 feet trench with about 30 yards in width and was looking around, assumingly, for its prey. It didn't have to look long since Naruto landed behind it and plunged a Rasengan right into its back and sending it flying in the distance. The blonde shinobi watched the body spin uncontrollably in the air before coming to a stop forcefully at the edge of the trench. Naruto was now grinning like a maniac at this point when he could see the flesh knitting itself back together once again and the corpse got to its feet.
The second it was back on it's feet, it was charging the blonde shinobi with a growl and malevolence surrounding it's axe. As the abomination swung its axe wildly at the blonde ninja who dodged with ease, Naruto couldn't help the excitement that was building up in his gut. This thing was nothing like human beings. It wasn't as smart or as graceful as the many warriors he had to fight on this and the other side of the world and it didn't think through most of its attacks, but it more than made up for it with the level of destruction it had when it brought down the axe. The adrenaline he was feeling was intoxicating and he couldn't remember the last time when his life was on the line even slightly. It was like he was in the Elemental Nations again and fighting people who were near or on his level of strength and it. Felt. GOOD. He may have been rusty due to years without combat, but he'd just have to shake that rust off while he fought for his life once again.
But as much as he was craving to continue to fight with this abomination, he still had to worry about the brats of the royal family. There are consequences that Naruto didn't want to have to deal with if something were to happen to the royal brats that wouldn't effect him at that moment, but would down the line. It was a fun fight, but good things always come to an end.
As the shinobi jumped back from a particular heavy swing, he landed on his feet and gave the heavy breathing corpse a foxy smirk. It was nice to know that even these things feel exhaustion at least. "You're one tough bastard, I'll give you that." He said before putting away his regular kunai for the more effective three-prong kunai. "Sadly, I don't have all day to play around with you. It was a good fight while it lasted!" He said far too chipper as he threw the three-prong kunai right at the face of the corpse who raised its axe to defend its head from the attack. It's eyes widened as the blonde shinobi appeared above it with a giant ball of energy that was twice its size before.
"Regenerate from THIS!" Naruto shouted as he slammed the giant Rasengan right through the skull of the giant corpse. There was absolutely nothing the creature could do as its entire body was grind into the ground and its skin began to disintegrate. After about 15 seconds of pushing, the Rasengan dissipated and Naruto landed back on the ground. There was now a spherical hole in the ground where the corpse used to be. Not even dust remained from its body.
After confirming his kill, Naruto sighed and turned to the distance where he sensed the group from before. Much to his distressed, he couldn't feel their presences through this chakra and it only made him quicken his pace to find his daughter.
During his search, Naruto slowly came to a halt as another clone popped. The blonde slowly brought his hand to massage the bridge of his nose once the memories of a popped clone reached his head. It would seem his gaki had 'accidentally' dispelled the clone that secured her and was heading straight towards the group for before. Kami he had forgotten how troublesome having a kid could be.
"Chrom! I need you and Frederick to cover the front gate! Lissa! Get Sully back in the fight as fast as you can! Virion! You're with me! We're going to rain down our arrows and magic onto the enemy!" Robin threw out orders left and right as strategies she'd never remembered learning started popping into her head. Between remembering how to flick magic all of a sudden and pulling out strategies from her arse, even she was beginning to believe her whole 'amnesia' act was a lie. There was not enough convenience in the world to do what she was doing and she was sure Frederick would have a 'word' after this nightmare was all over.
She looked over the fort she was in and down at the living dead that was trying to enter. From what she could see, there were only about 30 abominations left surrounding them. 22 wielded axes, 5 were wielding swords 2 were wielding lances an-WOAH!
If Robin had been even a second later on dropping her head, then her brain would have been introduced to an arrowhead curtsy of a zombie that was currently reaching back to reload. How these corpses were flinging arrows and swinging around weapons was beyond the amnesiac's comprehension. She only had 5 hours of knowing the world and she was now rethinking waking up from her void.
The silver-haired girl shook her pigtails as she shouted orders at the archer that followed her up the fort. "Virion! Do you have the archer's location?!" she asked the noble man who smirked as he pulled back his bow string.
"Right in my sights, m'lady." The azure haired man said before letting his arrow sore towards the unsuspecting corpse. His arrow hit true and the rich man's smirk grew more profound on his face. "The deed is done, Lady Robin! You may now gaze over the walls to scout the battlefield!" Robin ignore his exaggerated and flirtatious tone as she gazed back over the fort. Chrom and Frederick seemed to be doing their job at dispatching the corpses that were getting closer to the gate, evidence from the enemy's numbers now cut in half.
She couldn't believe it! Her plans were doing great! All they had to do was dispatch the rest these abominations before they could finally rest.
As if the Devil himself was listening to her thoughts, another abomination walked out of the woods and towards the fort. Robin's eyes widened at the sheer size of the creature that was getting closer and closer to the fort. It had to be at least 7 feet tall and had a rusted axe on its skinny shoulder, and it was coming right at them. If that wasn't scary enough, the thing seemed to be leaking some kind of aura from its body that only made it look more menacing. She didn't know where this new thing came from, but she wasn't going to waste time gawking at her new adversary.
Robin quickly ran to the stairs and down to the level of the rest of her friends. She could tell everyone else had already saw what she saw by the way everyone was looking at the fort gate. The rest of the abominations didn't even stand a chance as the bigger guy began swinging its axe wildly and murdering its own brethren. Robin wasted no time as she started barking out orders again.
"Virion! Aim for that things head! Chrom, Frederick, Sully! Switch to hit and run tactics! Hit the legs of that thing and bring it down! Stay clear of it's swings and don't even think about blocking its attack! I will make sure to keep it's attention split between our groups!" Everyone gave their own approvals as the giant finally made it into the fort and was already getting its axe ready for a swing at Chrom.
Robin quickly opened the Thunder Tome she had been holding and chanted a quick spell before holding out her hand and sending out a ball of thunder towards the abomination. She was rewarded with a small hole in the creature's chest as it stopped on a dime. It looked down to its chest and Robin's eyes widened in horror as the hole that was once in it's chest began to regenerate.
It didn't even acknowledge her efforts as it's attention went back to the three Shepherds surrounding it. She cursed as she turned and ran back up the stairway. She needed to get to the high ground and hopefully help her friends from up top. Once she got to the top and rejoined Virion, she looked down to see Chrom, Frederick and Sully doing battle against the abomination. Frederick and Sully had forsaken their horses to fight on their own two feet for more agility and were quickly jabbing their lances at the thing's legs before jumping back and allowing Chrom to try and get a head shot as it kneeled. It was a harder process than one would think since the thing was regenerating any damage they dealt and Chrom couldn't seem to get closer to the thing since one swing from the abomination could probably cut him in half. It didn't really help the fact that the thing didn't seem to feel pain either.
Robin had to rethink her strategy as she saw her plans weren't going anywhere against this new threat.
…
Meanwhile on the ground, Chrom was panting heavily as he was beginning to feel his exhaustion from the constant battles taking it's toll on him. Frederick, Sully and he had tried their best to take down this giant, but they couldn't seem to get any closer to taking out the head. The closest thing that has gotten to it's head was Virion's, surprisingly, sharp archery skill with an arrow right through the jaw of the abomination. Sadly, all it seemed to do was piss off the giant even more, evidence from it's even wilder swinging and reckless tactics. If that wasn't bad enough, the thing seemed to understand that they were aiming for it's head and defended accordingly.
Chrom cursed under his heavy breaths as he once again stood in to battle. They needed to put this thing down now before one of the Shepherds seriously got hurt.
"Damn it! Why won't this dastard go down?!" Chrom could hear Sully complain next to him. She was breathing even harder than he was since she had taken a blow to her side that took off a chunk of flesh. She had gotten healed by Lissa, but his sister was still a beginner when it came to working on the field and didn't have the experience for such grave injuries. She must not have had enough time to get Sully back into the fight before this giant barged into the fort.
Chrom's eyes widened as he saw what Robin was seeing. There were at least 15 to 20 more abominations charging their way from the forest and they were getting closer by the minute. That wasn't the problem though. The main problem stemmed from the fact that they were exhausted, injured, and still haven't finished off this giant that was already pulling their last strings. If that horde came in through the bridge, then all they could do was pray.
At that moment, it was only Chrom's senses kicking in that he quickly brought his sword into a defensive stance as the giant swung it's rusted axe. At that moment, Chrom forgot a very important fact about this thing. It was strong. Very strong. Not even his defenses saved him from the axe that slammed into his sword and blew him off his feet. Chrom went flying through the courtyard and only stopped when his body slammed violently against a stone wall.
"Chrom/My lord!" Chrom could barely hear his friends distressed calls over the ringing in his ears. His vision was blurry as he could vaguely see a yellow blur running his way. A second later, he felt a warm sensation coursing through his body and he felt his muscles began to relax.
"Chrom, try to stay with me!" He started to hear his sister more clearly as she did her magic. He could see pass his sister and saw Sully get knocked across the yard with a broken lance flying out of her hands. He saw her hit the wall and slump, head down and unmoving. He then saw Robin sling another spell while Virion rained arrows down on the abominations head. Chrom was then shocked to witness the creature bring it's axe over it's head and heave it right at the archer and strategist. The force behind the throw completely destroyed the stone the two had been standing on and the prince could do nothing as his friends fell from the top and landed painfully on the dirt ground, hard. Both were struggling to get to their feet and the only thing protecting them now was Frederick who was now standing protectively over them.
Chrom couldn't believe what he was seeing. Everything had been going so well up until this thing had come through the gates. Now they were all down but Frederick, there was tears in his little sister's eyes and he could see the horde of abominations coming through the gates.
What the hell was he supposed to do? Even if he continued to fight, he still had no answer for the giant that had defeated his Shepherds singlehandedly. He could complain that they were already exhausted when the thing attacked, but he couldn't even bring himself to be mad over that. He was just mad that his Shepherds, his friends, were now all injured or dying on the floor and there was nothing he could do about it!
He shakily got to his feet and ignored Lissa's pleas to let her finish. He couldn't stay down while his friends were on their last legs. He had to keep fighting. He had to protect his friends, his people! Who the hell else will do it if not him! He had to keep fighting for Emmeryn's dream and his little sister's innocence! He had to keep fighting even if it killed him!
Then, as if Naga heard his determination to live and fight, a wall of fire completely engulfed the horde of zombies coming through the gate and incinerated them within seconds. Chrom then widened his eyes as a figure slammed into the giant and knocked it on it's arse. The figure landed right in the middle of the courtyard, a hood over their head and wearing a long red cloak that looked 6 sizes too big. A flash of orange was all Chrom could get from underneath the cloak as the figure stood up suddenly and turned to point at the creature that was getting to it's feet. Chrom couldn't almost believe that a mere child had just saved their lives and brought down that titan with only a kick.
"Cower fiend! For you are in the presence of greatness! Divinity! JUSTICE!" Chrom heard the high-pitched and unmistakable voice of a girl underneath the cloak as she began doing weird poses much like a child mimicking a superhero. He didn't know if it was meant to sound threatening, but even he would find it hard to be threatening if he was only about 4"5 and had a voice higher than Lissa's. "My father is a renown legend among the shinobi world and it is with the power that he has bestowed upon me that I put an end to your evil plans, scum!"
Chrom, and he was sure everyone else, was staring at the girl incredulously. Was she really monologuing…to the corpse? Was this girl insane? "He's obtained names like the "God of Shinobi" and "Second Flash of Konaha" and is also the best father that ev-KYAAA!" Chrom watched as the girl jumped back comically from the giant who had just smashed its fist into the area the girl once stood. The girl quickly retreated back before turning around and pointing angrily at the giant while stumping her foot repeatedly into the dirt. "Hey! You can't attack me in the middle of my introduction! That's totally against the rules, 'dattebane!"
Chrom…honestly didn't know what to say right now. He was honestly grateful that this girl had come to their rescue, but how naive is this girl to gloat in front of her enemy? It was one of the first things Chrom had been taught in his training with the sword. Seeing this girl throw away a very important lesson he had learned honestly irked him a little.
At least he could get a good look at their savior. She ad golden blonde hair with, strangely, two lines on both sides of her cheeks that looked like whisker marks. Hell, at this point he wasn't really going to question her strange abilities and sense of fashion. He had met an amnesiac, got a story about a demon fox being summoned in the middle of South Town and now was fighting the living dead and it all happen in the span of 5 hours. Nothing could really surprise him at this point.
"Ehem!" He heard the girl cough as if to make sure all the attention was back on her. "Now that you have ruined my speech, I have no choice but to put you down, beast!" The girl then brought out 2 small bladed weapons from her sleeves and pointed one at the giant as she swirled the other through her fingers. "Be prepared fiend! For I have run all out of mer-"
SLAM*
...Remember when Chrom said nothing would surprise him? Well, apparently, Naga must have took that as a challenge because right before his eyes a giant orange frog the size of two griffons and wearing a yukata with a strange symbol on it's back landed on top of the abomination; completely flattening the creature. He knew the creature was no more from the purple smoke he could see rising from underneath the new creature. Chrom could see the shocked face of everyone (yes, even the stoic Frederick) in his peripheral, but none was as shock as the girl whose jaw was basically on the floor.
Up on the frog was a familiar blonde that Chrom had met before this whole fiasco had started. He had a confused look on his face as he looked around the courtyard and began scratching the back of his head. "I could have sworn there was a mass of chakra here a second ago."
"DAD! YOU STOLE MY BOSS FIGHT! AGAIN!" Morgan cried in frustration as she weakly banged her fist against her father's arm, anime tears streaming down her face. "I HAD EVERYTHING COVERED! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WAIT A FEW MORE SECONDS AND I WOULD HAVE SHOWN HOW AWESOME I WAS!"
Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously as he gave a toothy smile and apologized to the angry little girl. Chrom and the rest of the party, now sitting and being patched up by Lissa, we're staring down the blonde duo. Both had completely blown their minds in, albeit, in different ways, and we're now chatting away as if they had not just destroyed people's perception of power.
Somewhere between their banter, the blue haired boy/girl had returned and was currently watching the interaction of the daughter/father combo. They had no idea who the boy/girl really was, but they couldn't care less if he a Plegian potato chip with a mask and a sword. Their minds we're currently trying to recover after then nightmare they went through.
Meanwhile, Naruto was thinking intently in his head. He was going over everything that had just happened in the last hour and began to try and piece things together. Questions like "where the hell did these zombies come from" or "why the hell was Kaguya's chakra so potent in the area when that eye was in the air"? But more importantly, what the hell was that dark chakra that was darker than even Kurama's? From the way it felt, it was as if someone equal to or even stronger than Kaguya was before him. There was another chakra signature that he didn't really register till now, but it was faint and only lasted for as long as the eye stayed open (which was about 30 seconds). It was almost holy in nature, like the presence the entire Ylissean royal family unconsciously exuded.
Speaking of royal family.
Naruto looked over to the blue haired boy/girl that was staring at him unflinchingly (or at least he thought he/she was since he couldn't see beneath the mask). Naruto's eyes definitely weren't toying with him when he saw the sword the boy/girl had wielded on his/her waist. It was an exact duplicate of the Falchion the prince had and, as far as Naruto knew, there was only one Falchion in the world and it could only be used by those who had Naga's blessing (A.K.A, the royal family of Ylisse), so how the hell did this boy/girl wield it? And how the hell was there a second one?!
Evidently the blue haired boy/girl knew where the blonde shinobi was looking and turned his/her body and as if to hide the sword that hung around his/her waist. This only made Naruto's brows crease in suspicion at the figure he knew nothing about.
"I must thank you, friend." Naruto turned his head and saw Chrom standing in front of him with a soft smile. "We owe our lives to you and your…daughter." Naruto could feel the disbelief in the prince's voice. Don't worry pal, it surprised the hell out of him too.
"Don't worry about it?" Naruto waved him off. "We just happened to be in the area and saw people in need. I'd be an ass if I just left you all to die when there was something I could do about it." Naruto's words seemed to make the Prince's smile brighten.
"I'm glad there are people out there like you then." He said as he extended his arm towards the older blonde. "My name is Chrom. May I ask your names." Naruto couldn't help but smile at the prince. There was just something about him and his siblings that brought peace to his very being.
"Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki, and this is my—daughter, Morgan Uzumaki." The shinobi introduced himself and his daughter, getting a raised eyebrow from the prince.
"Oh, so you are a noble? That's very surprising. You don't seem to dress like one, but then again I'm not one to talk." Chrom laughed while Naruto inwardly face-palmed. He had forgotten that the only people who had last names on this side of the world were the noble pricks and the royal family. It was easy in Chon'sin since they were much like his own home and he didn't have to worry about anyone asking 'what house was he from' and all that nonsense.
"I've never heard of the Uzumaki house before." A new voice joined the conversation, curtsy of a stoic knight and was now standing next to his lord with his hands behind his back and looked like he had a metal pole for a spine. "Are you two perhaps foreign as well?" Naruto didn't know why, but he felt a hint of suspicion coming from the knight. Great, another one with a stick up his ass.
"Y-yea, you can say that." Naruto said awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his head once again.
"It doesn't sound Chon'sin. Are you perhaps from North Valm?" Chrom asked and Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"Yea, lets go with that." Naruto was sure his lackadaisical answer didn't get any positive points with the stick in the ass knight. He didn't know his name, but he had now dubbed thee 'purikku-kun' (which literally meant 'prick' in his language).
"This is no time for socializing." A sharp voice cut in and made everyone turn in it's direction. The blue haired boy/girl was looking towards them with his/her body still turned to hide the sword Naruto had no doubt now was another Falchion.
"Ah, I forgot to get your thanks as well?" Chrom spoke, letting the end of the sentence hang to get the name of the boy/girl.
"…You may call me Marth." That seemed to get the raised eyebrows of both Chrom and Frederick.
"Marth? After the Hero King of old? You sure swing your sword like a hero. Perhaps you can share where you learned your swordsmanship?" Chrom asked, but the boy/girl (yes, Naruto was still confused on this guy's/girl's gender) only shook his head as he turned to get ready to walk away.
"I'm not here to talk about myself. This world teeters on the brink of calamity. Tonight was but a prelude to the events yet to come. You have been warned." Naruto could see Marth give him one last glance before turning and walking away and into the forest.
"Huh?! What teeters where now?" Naruto heard the blonde princess speak behind him, apparently finished healing the rest of their little band of Shepherds.
"It would seem that we are coming across more and more suspicious individuals." Frederick spoke up while turning and looking dead at the blonde shinobi. Naruto, unashamed, flipped him the mental bird before looking back at the prince.
"Whelp, you guys seem to have everything under control now, so I think I will leave you with to your little Shepherd busy. Me and my daughter," Kami it was weird saying that, "have a date elsewhere so this is where we part ways."
"What!" he heard both Lissa and Morgan shout as they rushed in front of him.
"You can't leave yet! You still have to show us how you did all those cool moves and how you summoned a giant frog!"
"Yea, Dad! And I still need to show off my cool moves!"
Glad to at least see where Morgan's priorities lay.
"As a matter of fact, why don't you join the Shepherds! With you and Morgan in our group there's no way we could ever lose against those greedy bandits!"
Naruto actually paused at the girls request. Then he smiled again and shook his head at the two frantic blondes before him. "Sorry kiddos. Uncle Naruto has a lot on his plate and he would like to clean it before it gets too heavy." The immortal said sagely, making the two girls pout even more. He was about to say something else but stopped halfway when he finally noticed the white-haired girl that now stood up from her perch on the ground.
She was quite the attractive woman if Naruto had stopped to actually check her out. She had long white pigtails that went down to her chest and had the rest of her hair tied in the back. She wore a dark purple cloak with lit purple eyes that went down the sleeves and had golden folds at the end of the cloak. The cloak was held loosely together by small rope that hooked onto button and wore a V-Neck T-Shirt with purple outlining and white baggy pants. She also wore leather brown boots that went up to her shin and had leather gloves on her hands. If Naruto were to see this woman on the street, then he would have chopped her up to a pretty face and moved on with his life.
But he wasn't paying attention to her looks. He didn't know how he didn't notice her when he first arrived, but her chakra signature was massive. Like, Bijuu reserves massive! The only other person in this area who had more chakra than her was himself which was pretty freaking amazing. It also felt much like a dark mage's corrupted chakra whenever they fling out spells, but what really got him was the way the chakra felt. He was sure he had only felt that chakra once in his life and that was an hour ago.
It was an almost exact copy of the chakra he had felt when that portal opened. That dark, strong, full of malice chakra that he honestly would have missed if he wasn't looking right at her right now. Hell, it was more sealed up than Morgan's eye-patch and he was the current best seal master in the world! He would like to find the woman suspicious, but from what he could tell from the emotions his senses were getting from her, she wouldn't be giving any answers since she felt as confused as he was.
He really really wanted to question this woman on the power she held, but there was a time and place for everything and with a crowd of people around who were not nearly on that level of chakra would be a disaster waiting to happen.
"Umm, can I help you?" The white-haired girl asked the blonde that was staring her down, only to get a blink in response. Then he gave her a closed eye smile.
"Nope." Was all he said before he had a hand on his daughter and vanished in a swirl of leaves—leaving six very confused Shepherds behind.
When Marth felt he/she was far enough away from the group, he/she stopped and waited by leaning against a tree. He/she was sure the blonde had gotten the message and would be on his way the second he was able.
Sure enough, a flash of orange appeared in his/her peripheral vision and Marth was now staring at a blonde that was looking at him/her seriously, while the shorter blonde looked around in confusion.
"I'm here to talk. Now, how should we start?"
Marth nodded before speaking, "I'm glad you got my message. You truly are more than you look." Marth spoke in a tone that no longer sounded strained and flowed more smoothly. Then Marth reached up and took off his/he-no, definitely a her—mask and allowed the two blondes to see the blue orbs that laid hidden behind the mask. Long hair flowed easily down her back as she looked to the shinobi with all seriousness in her eyes. "My name is Lucina, and I come with a request that only you can help me with."
A/N: Wow, I was NOT expecting to get 100 follows and 1000 views within a few days! You guys are AWESOME! The only problem I seem to have with writing this story is the way I describe people. Hopefully it was good enough and hopefully you guys stick around for the next chapter!
Thanks for the reviews and follows and hope to see you all next time!
