Danzo Shimura was assured victory from the moment Orochimaru played his part. Hiruzen dead, he knew that Tsunade Senju would decline the title of Hokage. It was all according to his plan. His plan he set in motion fourteen years ago, none could question his foresight. He knew what was best for the village, though he hated the damn Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha had the right mindset. The Land of Fire should, and shall be, the strongest nation. If he had his way, it would be the only nation. His ANBU Root forces were scouring the lands for any signs of that damned Uzumaki.
Kushina had been issues enough, and now her son was proving to be as equally problematic. Minato was too much an idealist, optimistic, utter fool to believe that The Great Five Nations could ever come to an accord. It was dog eat dog, and only mongrel was going to come out on top. Danzo was the realist, and Hiruzen was too pacifist. Orochimaru's research was invaluable, but unfortunately now, that snake brat had played his part too well. Too well in fact that Danzo knew that he was a player on his game board, a piece to be eliminated.
The Will of Fire, Hashirama's eternal words of wisdom, was spot on. However, if there was to be a true guiding fire for the forest, then Danzo Shimura would burn the trees he saw unfit. There had to be absolute loyalty, even if most of the founding clans didn't agree to his candidacy. The Hyuuga, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Abarame, and some civilian groups. It didn't matter, it wouldn't matter, he was now The Hokage. Hiruzen built his reign on appeasement, and appeasement almost led to a civil war with The Uchiha Clan. Danzo barely convinced Hiruzen to do the right thing, but even then, he couldn't do as asked of him. He left that one Uchiha bastard, Sasuke Uchiha, alive because he was afraid of Itachi.
Danzo knew that having an Uchiha around wasn't such a bad thing. In this case, Sasuke would've been given the permission to marry multiple women. Of course, these women would be loyal to Danzo, and truly only Danzo, and that's if Sasuke survived into his young adult hood. Really, once he sired the next generation of Uchiha, he wouldn't have any use after that.
Any liability had to be eliminated, and they needed eliminated early. These cancerous beings, traitors, doubters, bleeding hearts, those who don't support him. They all had to die, which was why the situation with The Inuzuka Clan was tumultuous at best as of now. Tsume was wanting her son, more than likely an agent of his would ask him about their plans for him, and he just might let Tsume have his body.
His personal guard, a young woman in a horse mask was bringing in a tea set. She poured the fresh cup, steam rolling off the liquid gold. The smell of lavender, and chamomile filled the room with a delectable aroma. Danzo chuckled, taking the cup of tea, thinking of things as he got ready to take his first sip of the day.
The old Shimura clan head smiled as he sipped his morning tea. Koharu, for her worth, was pleasant enough, and Homaru was always following her footsteps. However, for a truly strong nation to exist, there could only be one single voice of power. His voice, the voice he used to plot and weave the fates of enemies. The only reason Teuchi Ichiraku was alive in the forests is because he was bait. Hate the child all he wanted, but Naruto was his mother's son more than his father's. If the boy was just obedient, made to follow, he'd been salvageable.
"Sir," an ANBU root member with a bear's mask came into the room, "We've got an issue."
"What is it?" Danzo inquired before taking another sip of his tea.
"The Inuzuka Clan matriarch Tsume," Bear named the problem, which made Danzo stop drinking his tea.
"That blasted she-wolf," he chagrined as he stopped. "What is her issue, now?"
"Her son Kiba Inuzuka has joined Naruto Uzumaki, along with Kurenai Yuhi, Shino Aburame, they were last sighted heading toward The Raging Coast." Bear reported, bowing his head.
Danzo curses under his breath, "Tell the traitor's mother that we will bring her son back. What we do with him along the way is determined if he fights back."
"It would just be better to snap his neck, be done with, and bring up her daughter Hana as the successor." Bear pointed out as he stood up.
"Indeed, it would be the better success, but oddly enough what of Hinata Hyuuga?" Danzo inquired, knowing full well that the girl was a part of Kurenai's team of brats.
Bear chuckles a little bit, "The Hyuuga Clan head, Hisashi, told me go to hell when I tried to enter their compound."
"Really," Danzo was surprised by the information, "How uncouth of him."
"Do you think he supports Uzumaki?" Bear asked, looking at his master, "The Hyuuga can be dealt with, just like The Uchiha."
"Oh, I know they can, they know they can, which is why I think Hisashi is trying to protect his daughter. I doubt Hinata is innocent, but she's been retired from Shinobi duty due to that fight with Gaara. Poor girl can't use the Hyuuga style with one arm, it was such savagery for that monster to snap one of her wings off like that." Danzo then cackled as he returned to sipping his tea, "But then again a bird like her should have been put in the cage seal a while back."
"Our forward squads were supposed to be heading into The Land of Whirlpools this morning." Bear told his master, "With luck we'll have The Hanya Masks."
"Heh," Danzo chortled while finishing his tea, "With luck we'll have Naruto Uzumaki."
A knock at his door made him nudge his head toward bear, he opened the door. Striding in with grace was a woman with a dragon mask on her face. She knelt, bowing to Danzo, she then raised her head up. He smiled, motioning for her to get up. She stood up, placing her hands behind her back. Danzo could tell that something was wrong, and he eyed her.
"The squad of ANBU sent to assassinate Tsuande Senju failed. Jiraiya showed up, killing all but one of our men. Tsuande Senju was last reported near Tanzaku Town, but if I guess, Jiraiya has already moved her." The woman was about to kowtow in front her master, but instead he hummed. "Sir?"
Danzo set his tea set to the side, "Dragon, what do we have to fear from a drunk? Jiraiya was lured out of hiding, which means Naruto Uzumaki isn't with him."
She realized his plan, and then smile under her mask deviously, "He's alone?"
"Not exactly, but one of the legendary Shinobi of the Sanin isn't there to protect him. Kakashi isn't a slouch, but a concentrated effort of thirty men will suffice. The remainder are newly turned Chunin, with Sasuke and Naruto being the standouts. Kurenai Yuhi, though a powerful Genjutsu user, she is nothing, but a mere pushover compared to some of your abilities." Danzo stated, watching as his tea was refilled by a young woman in a snake mask.
"Too bad we need that Uzumaki brat to get us through the temple's traps due to its blood locks." Dragon bemoaned while walking over to a chair.
"If it wasn't for those damn blood seals, those Hanya Masks would've been ours by now." Danzo growled out as he looked out of the window.
He was about to say something else when a massive shockwave filled the air around them. The glass shattering in the Hokage Mansion, his guards jumping to his defense. It wasn't just the mansion, and then Danzo could hear the screaming. He ran up to his window, seeing glass shattered along all the streets. He saw an overcast, strange because it had just been sunny, and looked up. A massive fireball, perhaps the size of The Leaf Village emerged from a greenish black hole from the sky. It seemed to be breaking apart!
He saw flakes of it fall away from it, strangely in a uniform pattern. He then realized that whatever this massive object over his village was it wasn't natural. It careened through the sky, heading due southeast. Straight toward where The Aoi Ocean would be. He was about get away from the window when a massive black creature slammed into a nearby building. This black and red creature hissed, slowly standing up. Danzo watched as it grabbed a village woman, ripping her in half with its crocodile like maw. It roared out, making villagers scream.
"Alert the security forces, we're being invaded!" Danzo ordered as he walked over to his cane.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!" All three of the ANBU operatives in his charge stated before dashing out of the window.
He walked calmly toward his door, opening it, finding a wolflike creature feasting on his assassin. He sighed, raising his cane, and impaling the creature's head. It died, yes, but then it just turned into black dust that seemed to float in the air. The poor girl that laid in pieces below him twitched every so often, but he knew she was dead. Her head, pulled back too much in a right angle, meant that the only thing her body was doing was muscle spasms at this point.
"Poor girl," Danzo sadly commented before walking over her twitching corpse. "I wonder how the parents would react to your undignified end?"
He made it down the circular flight of stairs, opening the door to the main lobby of the mansion. He saw the terrified people in the streets, watching as his shinobi took the house sized monstrosity that killed that poor female villager. He strode outside, watching as two wolflike creatures came around the corner. Danzo merely hummed, getting two shuriken out of his coat's inner pocket. He blew wind onto them, making them spin on his fingertips before casually throwing them to the sides. Splitting the demons in half as they came at him.
He then noticed something peculiar, a black dot descending from the sky. It was a machine of some sort, an aircraft, which made him furrow his brow as only such things existed in fiction. He saw the thing tumble, crashing into a nearby evacuated store. He strode over to it, watching as sliding doors on the vehicle opened up to reveal children. There was one teenaged girl amongst the children, a redhead, who reminded him Kushina in way. She was coughing, broken nose, and wearing strange armor. A teenaged boy, with golden blonde air, and bright blue eyes emerged behind.
Danzo watched as one of the wolf demons came after the teenaged girl. She raised her hand up, throwing a steel beam that had been exposed from the crash with an unknown force into the creature. It was speared through the abdomen, and dead within minutes.
"Pyrrha!" the boy called to the girl, pointing toward Danzo.
Pyrrha, the redhead girl, looked at him. She was stunned, bringing her hand up to her wrist Danzo noted she was saying something into it. Perhaps it was communication device? No matter, Danzo casually walked over to her, smiling, putting on a friendly face despite the carnage. His guards dropped next to him, and reported in.
"All of the creatures have been neutralized sir, we've got thirty civilians dead. Two shinobi died when one of the larger creatures fell during the beginning, this doesn't seem like an invasion." Bear told Danzo, and then noticing the two teenagers in front of him. "What do we do with them?"
Danzo smiled, looking at the kids in the back of the machine, "Simple. I want them brought in, no harm to come to them, but they'll have a lot to discuss with Ibiki."
"Yes sir," Bear saluted and walked over to them, "You two, drop your weapons."
"Okay, um I don't know about that," the blonde answered as he saw the others holding swords. "Who are you, you look human."
"Because we are," Bear reassured him. "We killed those creatures, and did you bring them?"
"No never, those things aren't just creatures. They're called Grimm where we come from, we're running from them, it wasn't any intention of ours for this happen." Pyrrha spoke for the blonde, "I'm sorry about your…"
"That was a fine dining establishment, it can be rebuilt, what is your names?" Bear inquired, discreetly keeping a hand on his kunai he had hidden in the front of his belt.
Pyrrha took a deep breath, seeing no other option. "My name Pyrrha Nikos, and his name is Jaune Arc."
"The children," Bear observed one of them with fox ears, "Some of them have mutations."
"They're not mutants, they're Faunus, I know it must be a shock to you. I assure that they are not harmful in any way, they are my charge, please do not hurt them and we surrender quietly without any type of violence. Because we didn't know anyone else was here, let alone human." Jaune interceded as he stepped in front of Pyrrha, giving an explanation to the children while offering surrender.
Danzo chuckles, walking over to the young man, "Young man I am the leader of this village. If you were hostile, you would dead before your warm corpse would the floor."
"Well…that's good to know that you don't think we're threat." Jaune laughed a little, nervously looking at the guards.
"On the contrary, allow me to grant you sanctuary for the time being, you say you're human and can vouch for those…other things?" Danzo proposed as he gave a false smile.
Jaune nervously smiles back, "Okay, sure…um…Pyrrha did you get anything from Winter?"
"Nothing," Pyrrha answered, "I sent out a message letting them know we landed safely."
"Fuck!" Jaune suddenly yelled, "I saw Ghira running out of Team Ruby's Bulwark, he was fighting this weird Grimm, hybrid thing."
"These creatures we killed can fornicate with humans?" Danzo inquired, genuinely surprised at the information.
"No," Pyrrha corrected as she looked up in the sky. "I hope for everyone's sake here that's the end of your Grimm ordeal."
"Well…you'll have plenty of time to talk about it. Come now, Ibiki Moreno is very talented in the art of discussion," Danzo said sweetly for his age, "Perhaps you, and Pyrrha…correct? Yes, Pyrrha, should follow my guards to him."
"Right, and our charges?" Pyrrha asked, nervously reaching her hand out to Jaune's.
Danzo smiled, "No harm will come to them, so long as you are open and honest with us. You'll have to understand, my people are a nervous lot."
"I understand," Pyrrha conceded while feeling Jaune's hand return the hold.
He knew she was scared, and something wasn't right about this old man, but what choice did they have?
A man with blonde-white hair was sitting at a temple. He was writing in his notebook, like he usually did. Creating new rhymes, he hummed to his, creating music in his head as he bounced his foot on the ground. The rhyming shinobi chuckled after he came up with a line.
"Yooooo say hoooo!" He shouted as he got up from his sitting position, he started dancing on his feet with eight blades around his body in various places.
He then busted it down, smirking along the way. "Yo my name is Killer Bee, and I have a disease, so let me breathe! I am the number eight's Vessel, they hatin' cause I'm special, lighting style on another degree, they ought to be me a on pedestal. Yeaaaah!"
"Killer Bee here busting rhymes, while cutting up your dimes, making you find peace in eternal sleep as a I take a piece! This fool, this guy, this just won't fly. I'll take dive if it means that you'll climb! Got my strength in my heart, ready to make my mark, spraying ink on your all in your mouth parts!" Killer Bee sang, rapping, or at least attempting to do so.
"Bee…"
"I'm just keep my style going!"
"Bee…"
"I'll take these blades, fight you, show you I'm not gloating!"
"Bee."
"Call the Vessel, when you need the razzle, and dazzle Swift Lighting, I'm like a reaper, and I'm frightening!"
"BEE!"
Killer Bee stopped mid-step in his dance routine, "Yo Gyuki, why so oozie with the hostilities?"
"Bee something is happening, I can feel it. The other Tailed Beasts are calling to each other except me, and The Nine Tails.." Gyuki told Bee from their mental link. "Bee this feels like an end of the world scenario."
"End of the world, seems a little overblown?" Killer Bee questioned as he started back on his dance routine when he felt a dark presence fill the air like a wave.
He stopped, looking around, a wave of primal fear washing over him. Looking around, he stopped, taking a deep breath.
"Now you feel it," Gyuki grumbled as he growled from inside Killer Bee. "Bee, "I know that you promised to answer the call of other Vessels."
"Oh shit, we're really doing the thing! Okay," Bee stretched before grabbing a canteen from he had been sitting. "Too bad The One Tailed Beast needs to reform."
"Which is a good thing, considering what we know about The Akatsuki from A's spy networks." Gyuki pointed out.
"You're cold blooded my friend, that was family in the end." Bee replied with a rhyme, "Where do we go from here, first?"
"Yugito…and Matatabi."
Kakashi knew that the rasengan was designed to have multiple variations. Minato sensei, in all of his wisdom, didn't once use the pinnacle of chakra manipulation as a motor. Every thirty seconds, and it was clockwork, a clone of Naruto's would charge up his little yellow ball of energy. That yellow ball screeched, then it would be slammed into the water, and everyone would just have to grip the relatively large fishing rowboat a little tighter. They were making good time, if Naruto held up, they would be on The Land of Whirlpool's shores within an hour.
"You know, Naruto, I actually am bewildered about something." Shino said as he watched Naruto recharge the orb. "Would you find it offensive of me to ask?"
"Depends on the question," Naruto breathed before slamming the ball into the water.
Shino held the boat tightly as they blasted a couple hundred feet toward the island, "Why is chakra color yellow?"
"I honestly don't know," Naruto stopped and pondered it. "I thought other people had weird chakra colors. I mean it may have something to do with the fact that the Nine Tails is constantly mixing my chakra with his."
Naruto went back to charging, but Kurenai added in, "But wouldn't mixing red and blue make a vermillion?"
"Yeah," Naruto realized before charging the orb back up, "Now that you mention it."
"It could be something to do with the ratio of physical and spiritual energy being mixed to form it together." Neji offered up, watching as the blonde began to charge another rasengan. "Kind of how mine, and Hinata's charka is a lighter shade of blue."
Kiba hurled over the side of the boat, Akamaru whimpered a little in his lap, "Hey Naruto how much longer?"
"I don't know," Naruto honestly says in response, "I just got to forming a rasengan and started blasting."
Kakashi chuckles a little bit, "At least we're approaching the safe side of the island."
"Safe side?" Kiba asked, confused at the notion of there being truly a safe side to an island.
"Oh yes, you see the reason The Land of Whirlpools was a hard target to invade was because you could only truly invade it from The Raging Coast. Which is why they were destroyed during the early parts of The Third Shinobi World War." Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, "If we were to come in from any other side…well…there's reason it got that name."
Naruto was forming another sphere, "My mother's journal tells of five giant whirlpools near the island. Capable of bringing even a fully loaded warship down."
"What's so important to Danzo here? I mean I get it, that we're stopping him from initiating a world war, but Jiraiya mentioned something about masks." Kurenai inquired, watching as Naruto placed the sphere in the water, she held on for dear life as well with her students.
Naruto raised back up, breathing hard, "They're called Hanya Masks. They're made to be a connection to The Gods of Death."
"Okay, I get that," Kurenai clarified, "But why a religious mask?"
"It wasn't religious, it's part of a Sealing Jutsu. More specifically it's a part of The Reaper Death Seal. The very same Jutsu used by Old Man Hiruzen, and my father." Naruto stated, letting the momentum carry the boat. "Danzo getting his hands on them gets a chance for him to revive them."
"Holy shit," Kurenai realizes as she put it together, "He wants to use Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu with the masks to be bring back Lord Third and Fourth."
"Precisely, that's why I'm going to destroy them," Naruto stated.
"Wow, hold up, why would you destroy them?! Dude, you'll have a chance to meet your dad if you use it, hell, even revive him on our side!" Kiba argues, but he stopped when Naruto looked right into his eyes.
"Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu requires a human sacrifice, Kiba, do you volunteer?" Naruto answered Kiba, simply choosing to blankly stare at him while doing so.
"On second thought, I'll grab the firewood," Kiba vehemently offers up.
"Wow Naruto, you sure have a lot of knowledge on this, where did you learn it?" Rock Lee asked.
Naruto smirked, forming another rasengan, "Pervy Sage."
Rock Lee asks another question, "Oh, that does make sense, why do you call him "Pervy Sage?"
"Because…" Naruto breathed harder than before and then snatched Kakashi's book, "He writes smut."
Sakura took the book, skimming through it, "Kakashi sensei?!"
"What," Kakashi shrugs as he looked at Kurenai, "Last time I checked even women read it."
Kurenai giggles a little, sheepishly blushing, "Oh the things you kids could learn…"
"Lalala I'm not hearing this, lalala!" Sakura covered her ears, tossing Kakashi book back to him before doing so.
"Say, Naruto, do you read any of it?" Kiba asked while looked at the exhausted teen.
Naruto sheepishly grinned, blushing a little, "I may have peeked at it a little."
"Pervert!" Sakura accused.
Kakashi countered Sakura, pointing out, "Young men have changing bodies just like young women. Attraction, sex, it's all natural constructs to puberty. Sakura, it's no different than of you dreaming about Sasuke over there."
Sasuke looked at her, "You dream of me?"
"NO!" Sakura screeched, blushing crimson as she looked away. "I'm not a pervert!"
Ghira groaned as he leaned up on the boat, "Where am I?"
"You kind of passed out on us again back there, big guy," Kiba answered as he patted the man's shoulder. "You got a nasty gash across your stomach."
"Thank you all, for saving me back there," Ghira coughed up a wad of blood and spit. "Are you natives of this world?"
"Natives," Kiba eyed him, "Aren't you?"
The whole boat, minus shouted at once, "Wait you're an alien?!"
Ghira groans, laying his head back down, "Please not so loud…I think the sonic boom messed up my ears from earlier."
"Okay, well this certainly has been one hell of a day." Naruto relaxed as he watched Guy and Lee jump to the back of the boat. "Uh, what are you guys doing?"
"Naruto allow us to become your twin beast motors!" Guy stated while flashing a smile.
"Hang on Guy sensei I haven't secure-Ahhh!" Naruto yelps with everyone as they started kicking!
Ghira almost flew out of the boat, only getting caught by Naruto who slammed him back down. He didn't mean to do it so hard, and it was the fact that if hadn't they'd would've needed to go swimming for him. Ghira breathed hoarsely, coughing up more blood. He looked at the blonde, noting the whisker marking on his face.
"Are you a Faunus?" Ghira asked Naruto as they held on for dear life.
Naruto looked at him, "A what now?"
"Guess that answers my question," Ghira submitted as he leaned back down. "On my wrist is commlink interface, code is Zero-One-Two-Two-Nine-Four. I'm too weak to move."
Kakashi reached down to his wrist, looking at the device. A screen fluttered on the device, making his eyes slightly widen. it was state of the art, there was nothing like this on their world. Kakashi knew that for a fact, limited radio communications aside, nothing this advanced existed in their world. Kakashi entered code using his fingers, and then he saw hundreds of messages. Teams, individuals, and lastly Ghira's title."
"Head of Aquaculture, and Agriculture. You're a scientist?" Kakashi questioned as he noted they were nearing the island.
Ghira shook his head, "I just had good sense of leadership, and hell of a green thumb."
"Heh," Kakashi chuckles at that, "You got your people this far."
"That I did, on the screen I need you to look for Blake Belladonna." Ghira coughed up after instructing Kakashi, "She'll have a life monitor signs on there since she's a registered soldier of our people."
"You said that she was your daughter," Kakashi remembered as he searched her name. "I got her, her vitals are reading low, is that a bad thing?"
"It could mean many things," Ghira grunted as he leaned up. "Please, I know I can't ask this of you all, but my daughter is the only thing I have left from my wife."
"Why did you leave your home," Naruto asked, making Ghira turned to him. "I'm just saying that all of this effort seems extreme."
"It was our only choice," Ghira stated as he looked up into the sky. "Nearly six years ago, our world was taken over by a demoness."
"Demoness," Naruto frowned as he looked at him, "You mean something like a monster?"
"Son I've seen monsters, I've killed monsters, and all of them were nothing compared to her. She goes by many names, The Wicked Witch, The Eternal Queen, The Dark Goddess, but we call her Salem." Ghira told Naruto, making everyone tense up on the boat. "She killed the last of our saviors when we left, she would've killed us all."
Sakura sat there, her mouth agape, "You mean there's something coming that kill us all too?"
"I'm not letting that happen," Naruto growled as he gripped his fists, "I don't give a damn what her titles are! I'll not let her come to my world, and hurt my friends, my family without a fight."
"I saw you fight her Demon Knight, they're powerful, yet you handled him easily. What are you, boy?" Ghira asked.
"I'm a shinobi, since you're telling us everything, I might as well warn you that we're not exactly good company right now. We're on the run ourselves," Naruto looked Ghira in the eyes. "I want to help save your daughter, but I need an assurance that none of us are going to be attacked by your people."
"I can't promise that, because I have no way of explaining this." Ghira says as he leaned back.
Naruto sighed, and replies, "I'm pretty sure that all of this earth shattering for you?"
"We don't come intending to be hostile, we're just scared, on the run." Ghira held his hand out, "You shook my hand earlier, I promise you that if you help us survive today, we will help you survive tomorrow."
Shino then voiced his opinion, "Like it or not we're in a symbiotic relationship."
"I never said I didn't like it, if we were in his shoes, I'm sure all of us would be desperate." Naruto sympathized with Ghira, taking the man's hand. "I promise that me, and my people will do all that we can."
"I'm not a fighter," Ayame states as she got in front of Ghira, "But I am the one currently with the medical knowledge to get your bandage changed when we get to shore."
"You are most kind, young lady," Ghira thanked her with a toothy smile.
"Young lady, pfft, just call me Ayame." She replied with a salute, "I'm pretty much the mother hen of this group."
"Yeah right, if anyone is our mother hen its Kurenai sensei." Kiba mumbles only to feel Ayame's glare on him.
"What was that you little shit," Ayame growled as she overlooked him with fiery eyes.
Kiba turned ghost white, chittering his teeth, "I am so so sorry, Ayame, please don't turn me into broth."
"No promises," Ayame stated with a dark grin.
Ghira looked at them, noting, "They're friendly but slightly violent to each other."
"That pinkette girl is your typical teenager, in fact most of them here are teenagers. They say sensei, as in teacher, which is weird because only Mistralians used the word as much to refer to any teacher. They speak the same language as us, but they aren't on the same technological level given the man's surprise at my communication device. They must have some basic form of computer technology because he didn't need to ask about the keypad coming up." Ghira observed everyone of them.
He looked at Naruto, "This one being so young despite being their leader, is he of nobility? Perhaps an ousted prince similar to in the old tales? No, as much as he was kind to help me, he's not refined."
"He had callouses on his hands, signs of hard work," Ghira took a deep breath. "Not to be rude, but can I ask your names?"
"My name is Sakura Haruno," the pinkette smiled.
Kiba sighed, "Kiba Inuzuka."
"Kakashi Hatake," Kakashi answers while flipping a page in his book.
"Shino Abarame," spoke up while something flying came out of his nostril.
"I think you got a bug in your nose kid," Ghira commented weakly.
Everyone looked at each other, with Kurenai coughing, "Anyway moving on, I'm Kurenai Yuhi."
"Wait, why are we ignoring the fact he has a bug in his eye?!" Ghira exclaimed while seeing a bug crawl of the kid's eye.
Naruto sighed out as he looked at him, shuddering slightly, "Trust me on this. For your sanity at the moment, you don't want to know."
"I'm not that creepy," Shino protested a little, "These are parasitic insects called Kokucho Beetles, they feed on chakra."
"What is chakra?" Ghira inquired, sounding out the word to make sure he said it right.
"Wait a minute," Kiba points out as he looked back at Ghira, "You don't know what chakra is?"
"Of course not, do you all have an aura?" Ghira asked.
Naruto looked at him, blankly, "Emotionally."
"No not emotionally," Ghira shook his head flabbergasted, "Every living thing has an aura."
"Okay what is this aura you speak of?" Kurenai inquired.
Ghira suddenly got an idea, looking at Naruto, "Kid try to stab me."
"Excuse me?!" Naruto shouted as he leaned back form the man.
"Trust me," Ghira said as he smiled weakly, "My aura is already recharged it's currently healing me."
Naruto looked at the man's arms where some scratches used to be, seeing that they vanished. Taking a deep breath, Naruto got a kunai out. He pointed it a nonvital area, above the kneecap. He looked at Ghira, eyeing him to make sure, everyone waited with bated breath as Ghira nodded his head. Naruto shrugged, stabbing down as hard as he could, everyone was stunned a purple spark flew up from the impact. Naruto slipped, his hand losing the kunai as it clattered into the boat's flooring.
"Wh-what was that?!" Naruto exclaimed as he had stars in his eyes, "That was frigging awesome!"
"That's just one of the benefits to having an aura, it's ever-present shield." Ghira commented as he smiled, he heard birds in the distance, "Are we near the shoreline?"
"Lee, push as hard as you can otherwise, we fight while walking on our hands!" Guy yelled from behind everyone.
Lee roared out, "Yes Guy sensei!"
"I meant to ask," Ghira looked at Neji, "Are you blind?"
Neji seemed taken aback, "I beg your pardon?"
"It's just that you have no iris in your eyes," Ghira looked closer, "Wait I think I see something there."
"Neji is special," Tenten spoke up for him, "Don't worry about it."
"I told him about my clan," Shino muttered as he looked at Tenten, "Why can't he talk about his former clan?"
"Look we're not former anything, yet, because we're breathing Dattebayo." Naruto stated as he got up, feeling the boat slow down. "Tenten is right though, if Neji doesn't want to share anything he doesn't have to, right Ghira?"
Everyone felt the boat shutter as they impacted the beach, Lee and Guy were breathing a little heavy as they got themselves up. They dusted the sand that was caked onto them, looking at the group in the boat. Most of whom had been knocked over, Sasuke got up first, followed by Naruto. Kakashi meanwhile still sat there, reading his book. Ghira noted this and made a mental note that the man seemed to be the calmer about everything in the group. Perhaps he was the strongest?
Naruto and co. got to quickly setting up camp near the shoreline. About half an hour had passed, although they went into the forest a little bit, it was still close enough to the shore for Ayame to go fishing for supplies. Ghira was situated on tree, with Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke setting up tents for everyone. The blonde noted that a large marking stone was near them, with The Uzumaki Clan symbol on it. He smiled, brushing his hand on it, only to see it glow a little bit.
"Huh, that's weird," Naruto commented aloud to himself.
Sasuke walked over to him, "What's weird?"
"Nothing much, it's just that marking stone glowed when I put my hand on it." Naruto told Sasuke while placing his hand back on it.
Kakashi looked at it, "That's Directional Stone, your mother said it was a like a positioning system only used by members of the clan."
"What was it used for?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi chuckled and walked over to it, "It's so that those with Uzumaki blood can follow it back home, focus chakra on it."
Naruto did as he was instructed and watched as a light began to shine on top. It slowly formed at the top in a prism, he didn't see the crystal there before. That crystal began to hum, and then it shined on one side, leading to the east. Tenten had stars in her eyes, looking at the natural contraption.
"Why doesn't The Leaf Village have these?" She inquired.
Kakashi sighed, "Because the ability to make them died way before the clan did."
Naruto frowned at that, sighing, "Civil war?"
"Yes," Kakashi lamented the word, "Civil war."
"What could drive a clan, who's one symbol is unity, to fight amongst each other?" Sasuke asked as he looked at the prism.
Naruto took a deep breath, "Mom in her journal said that it had something to do with Mito Uzumaki. Mito Uzumaki was supposed to marry within in the clan when she chose Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage. It angered Ashina Uzumaki, who was the Clan Head at the time, but accepting of the marriage."
"Okay, if he had accepted the marriage, why did a civil war break out?" Sakura inquired with a frown, "Doesn't make sense for the head of clan to be okay with something, and not the clan."
"That's the thing," Naruto got out his mother's journal from his pack. "The true reason isn't in the pages, it got destroyed when I took my little dive into the river three years ago."
"Damn," Sasuke cursed as he looked at the journal. "I remember that day too, I'm sorry that it happened that way."
Naruto smiled softly, "What matters is that we're in this together now, like our moms wanted."
"Yeah," Sasuke felt something rolling down his eye, "Like our moms wanted."
"So, here's the plan," Naruto spoke up after walking away from the stone. "Neji, I need you to come with me, Kiba, and Sasuke. Kakashi sensei, I'll need you as well."
"Right," Kakashi got up from the tree branch he had been sitting on. "You've selected mainly trackers, Naruto, are you intending to find Ghira's daughter?"
"I gave him my word," Naruto stated as he held his fist, "And I never go back on my word."
Ghira weakly smiled, watching as Ayame pealed the bloody bandage off his gash. It was slightly healing, but he knew that if he didn't get antibiotics soon then he'd be in a terrible condition. Ayame cleaned the wound, wrapping gauze around it, she looked over at Naruto. He nodded, giving her a thumbs up as Neji, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Kiba. Naruto looked at Ghira, nodding at Neji, he activated his Byakugan. He observed Ghira, noting that he had purple color swirling around him, and he looked at Naruto. Like before in the Chunin exams, that blonde's yellow light gleamed bright, except now with nearly two years of training under his belt Naruto's chakra was much more vibrant.
Neji deactivated his eyes, looking at Naruto, "I can see his energy."
"Good, this'll make things easier," Naruto stated as he looked toward the forest.
"Wait," Ghira called out before unstrapping his wrist communicator, "Catch."
Naruto caught it, putting it on his left wrist, the machine chimed with a ding. "Temporary User acknowledged," it stated a dull mechanical voice. A small red light blinked, and a flash made Naruto dizzy for a moment before he saw his picture on the machine. He saw the communication logs and did like Kakashi had before. Suddenly something came up, it was a picture of girl with mixed color hair. She wore some strange outfit, with a red cape, and had silver eyes. The words critical flashed on the screen, he looked at Ghira.
"Is this your daughter?" Naruto asked.
"No," Ghira shook his head, coughing a little. "That's Ruby, she's with my daughter. Those two are like sister, please, save them."
"I will, I promise," Naruto softly spoke before him and co. dashed into the forest.
Ghira took a deep breath, praying that his saviors made it in time to save his daughter.
Qrow was in a bad way, and Ruby knew it. Her uncle was barely hanging on as a medic treated his wounds. She had woken up to disaster, after disaster. Nova Atlas had crashed into the waters just off island. The massive structure groaned, and several pieces were falling off. Blake was being tended to by another medic, she had a broken arm when she tried to shield Ruby when they crash-landed. Their pilot unable to account for the change in gravity in time.
She massive ship was miles away, but she could see it over the treetops. Blake groaned as she looked at Ruby, watching her as she stared at the blue skies above with the tear in it. She trotted over to Blake, kneeling next to her.
"Hey Ruby," Blake groaned as she looked at her cast. "Is Yang and Weiss, okay?"
"Yang's running about, trying to get as much ammo for ember celica as she can. Weiss is being Weiss in this situation, planning stuff out with what little bit of soldiers we got." Ruby answered as she sat down next to her fallen friend.
Blake leaned up after the doctor told her too, "Ruby I'm sorry but he's getting ready to reset my bone."
"I'm here for you," Ruby says as she held her friend's hand. "Ready?"
"Okay, on three," The medic said, "One two…THREE!"
Blake wailed out as she felt her bone being pushed together, "Fuck!"
Ruby gave a half hearted smile, noting that her friend relaxed. She leaned forward as the medic began wrapping a tourniquet around her back and arm. The silver-eyed girl got up, walking toward Weiss, only to hear all too familiar howls in the distance. She shook slightly, fear gripping her a little as she heard noises she didn't realize as well. The Grimm were here, and they were hunting. She jogged over toward Qrow, seeing him still unconscious from the blood loss.
"Is he going to be okay?" Ruby asked, looking down at her uncle.
The medic looked up at her, "I don't know at this time, he does need a blood transfusion soon."
"Right," Ruby sighed out as she the barely stitched together right arm of her uncle, "And his arm?"
"I'll be betting on it getting removed," The medic remarked while getting Qrow on a stretcher. "I need help over here!"
A pilot, with a pistol came running over, "I'll help carry Brawen."
"Okay, any word from command?" The medic inquired.
The pilot shook her head, "No, I think Nova Atlas's communication array got damaged."
"Can we still read life signs?" The medic inquired.
"Only those right before the impact," The pilot stated as she looked toward Ruby. "Ruby Rose, your uncle needs immediate evacuation to Nova Atlas."
"I know I know," Ruby said while walking around, trying to think. "Weiss, are we going to move out soon?"
"In about ten minutes," Weiss replied as she checked her weapon. "I'm gathering what dust we had on the bulwark."
Ruby gave a frustrated sigh, walking over toward a weird stone. She placed her hand on it, taking a deep breath. The stone however, slowly, began to glow. She backed away with gasp, watching as it's light traveled up toward a crystal prism. She was weirded out to say the least, but then saw a swirl mark glowing from one of the carvings on the stone.
"Weiss, come look at this!" Ruby called out.
Weiss trotted over toward her friend, "What is it, Ruby?"
"Look at this weird stone, it just started glowing and pointing with crystal towards the inner part of the island." Ruby showed Weiss, pointing at the crystal on top of the stone. "Isn't that crazy weird?"
"It is," Weiss admitted but then sighed, "We can't dwell on this right now Ruby, we have to get going back to Nova Atlas."
"I know, I'm just worried about my uncle, you know how I get." Ruby softly said, looking down.
Weiss put a hand on her shoulder, "I get it, Ruby, I'm worried about my sister right now too. However, just know that we're all here, some of us have a broken arm, but we're here."
"Yo, Weiss," Yang shouted from the bulwark. "I'm taking the fire dust!"
"Okay, that's fine, just leave the ice dust for me!" Weiss called back to Yang, "we're leaving in six minutes!"
"Right, got'cha, Ruby how is uncle Qrow?!" Yang shouted to her sister.
Ruby bit her lip, yelling back to her sister, "Medic says he may lose his arm!"
"Fuck!" Yang cursed loudly.
Ruby looked back to her uncle, a tear rolling down her eye, "It's my fault…"
She walked away, checking Crescent Rose's systems. She trained for this in The Proving Grounds, she can kill Grimm. Her uncle needed her, her friends needed her, and she needed strength within herself too. The young teen gathered her things, checking ammo in her corset's pouches located behind her cloak. It fluttered from a gust of wind as she heard something booming in the sky. She saw The Shield Of Mantle coming into the fray from the gateway's rift.
Suddenly, as if by a miracle, communications equipment began working, "This is Winter Schnee!" Ruby hears over the radio from the crashed bulwark. She ran over to it, watching as Yang turned it up. She sat there with her sister, listening to it.
"This is Winter Schnee, commander of Nova Atlas. May day may day, we've lost all power to engines. Nova Atlas is on a crash course, all bulwark squads are advice to launch immediately, do your best rendezvous at my command beacon. This message will repeat!" Winter's voice shouted from the radio.
Yang grimaced, turning the radio off as her commlink on her wrist came online. "We're only receiving this because The Shield Of Mantle is using its communication networks to bounce signals."
"It said that this message is on repeat, was this made before we evacuated?" Ruby asked Yang, kneeling besides her sister.
Yang sighed, "Yeah, but her command beacon is working, meaning she's alive."
"Hang on," Ruby looked at her sister's communicator device, "There's Blake father vital signals!"
"Wait, no, I know you recognize the serial number Ruby, but it's registered under a Temporary User." Yang frowned as she tried to bring up a picture of the user, "Wait, that's weird I don't recognize him, Ruby is he one of your classmates?"
The girl looked into the device, seeing a blonde boy with azure eyes. He had whisker marks on his face, his eyes…his eyes reminded her of that dream! She looked at the device, reaching up it, she tapped to see if they couldn't communicate from Yang's device. When a red error message popped up, she growled in frustration, and looked at Yang.
"Okay, is he someone you like," Yang asked with a hint of teasing, "Listen Ruby, I'm sure they're going to be fine."
"No Yang, I don't recognize him!" Ruby stated as she looked at her sister, "But, I do know his face."
"Okay, well that's a weird thing to say, how do you recognize his face?" Yang asked.
"That dream I told you all about three weeks ago," Ruby pointed at the blonde's picture, "That's him."
"Ruby, that's impossible," Yang stated emphatically while grabbing gravity dust for Ruby.
Ruby just gave a huff, "Yang please, I know that I'm not going off the deep end on this."
"Ruby," Yang stopped her in her tracks with a cold voice. "I'm sorry little sis but listen. I know these last hours have been traumatic, I love you, but we've got bigger things going on."
"I know, we gotta get uncle Qrow out of here, but Yang trust me I'm not crazy!" Ruby pleaded with her, and she cried a little. "Uncle Qrow probably hates me enough after this, I'm just trying to say that we stand a better chance of getting him out of here with help."
Yang growled a little, grabbing her sister, "Shut up and listen Ruby!"
"Y-Yang," Ruby grunted a little, "You're hurting me."
Ruby struggled on Yang's grip a little, only to the see the lilac eyes of her sister slowly fill with tears. Ruby went to say something, but she was cut off by Yang yelling at her.
"No, listen here, I promised to look after you mom died! You were told to stay at the evacuation area, you were demanded to stay there, and what did you do?! You ran from there, I get it sis, I do. You want to help our uncle, but he didn't need your help! Uncle Qrow got distracted by you, but do not feel sorry for yourself!" Yang yells at her sister, "Be better, because there's no such thing as a going backwards for us only forwards!"
"But if Uncle Qrow loses his arm…"
"Then you'll have to live with that lesson!" Yang shouted, she glared at Ruby with her red eyes flaring up. "I didn't want to do this in front of the others…I love you sis, but you fucked up. Uncle Qrow won't ever hate you, but I wouldn't doubt it if he doesn't wake up absolutely pissed."
She kissed her sister's forehead, but before she could say anything else there was a large booming noise throughout the air. Yang held Ruby tight as the bulwark they were in rolled onto its side. They both got out immediately, looking up as the gateway's rift began to constrain something into existence. They saw The Shield Of Mantle had broken into two pieces. One of them was heading right for them!
"Oh gods!" Yang screamed as she ran with Ruby.
Ruby grabbed Blake who was still loopy from her pain. She yelped in pain as the medics grabbed Qrow, Weiss was creating glyphs around them to block incoming debris. They looked up, and horror sunk into their faces as a Lucius Class Battleship entered the sky. However, that wasn't what terrified them the most. Scores of Grimm, hundreds, flew out from the ship. Grimm were carrying smaller Grimm, but three large Grimm, Titans, dropped from the side that overlooked the horizon.
All hope looked lost, but then something boomed across the horizon. The Lucius Class Battleship was split into two pieces from a beam of light. They looked at the direction, seeing of Nova Atlas's cannon working. They smiled, even wanted to cheer, but the pieces of Lucius Class fell forwards from momentum, and were heading right for them as well!
"Oh, come on!" Yang yelled in frustration as she grabbed Qrow's stretcher, "Run, run, run!"
In front of them several beowolves emerged from the woods. Ruby took the lead, unfolding Crescent Rose and slicing the first one in front of her in half. Weiss charged forward his rapier, spearing two through the chest, while Blake wielded her weapon in its firearm form. She gunned down two of the beasts as well while Ruby took the last one out with a quick twirling slice to the head. The seven moved into the forest, with Weiss reactivating the glyphs as debris fell around them.
Naruto watched the skies as the erupted in flames. Never in his wildest dreams could he imagine such a battle unfolding. If Ghira was right, then this needed to be stopped here somehow. They all dodged debris that flew around them, with Kiba and Akamaru taking the lead. The white dog barking up a storm as he hopped from tree to tree with Kiba.
"Akamaru is picking up human scents near us, but also something else." Kiba told everyone as they charged forward.
Naruto nodded, leaping in front of Kiba, focusing his emotional sensory. He felt the fear wash two people as they away from those he would call deprived of emotion, pure black spots in his mind's eye. He dashed forward faster, passing Kiba as one of the people fell. He breached the canopy, launching himself into a clearing and formed a clone. The people running were an orange haired girl with what looked a warhammer, and a busted leg. The other one was barely conscious, with a gash over his head!
The large wolf creature approaching them lunged, only to get kicked away by both Naruto and his clone. Landing with a slide, he used his clone to tackle the other beast closest to him. Somersaulting over to it, he slammed his kunai into its head. He rolled forward, dodging a claw slash, but just as the beast was about to go for another attack Kiba and Akamaru used their combined technique to tear it to pieces.
Neji landed in front of a large apelike Grimm, barraging it with finger strikes. Interestingly, the injection of chakra made the beast swell up. It grunted before blowing up into black dust, and when several more emerged from the forest to kill him, he spun around forming an energy barrier that threw them off. Sasuke hopped over the barrier, launching kunai into the surrounding six beasts, each nailing them in the head, unfurling a piece of small paper.
Two people ducked as the kunai suddenly exploded, creating a dust cloud around them. They felt themselves getting grabbed, with the girl attempting to get loose, but held farm as she saw a raven-haired teen grab her friend.
"Ren!" She screamed.
"Don't worry, we got him," The raven-haired teen shouted at her. "Kakashi sensei, we need to move!"
The man holding her, Kakashi, nodded and moved. Neji joined them, followed by Kiba and Akamaru. Naruto formed a squad of clones that stalled a couple dozen of the wolf demons heading for them. He moved, he knew he could take them all, but there wasn't a point of showing his hand just in case someone was watching. He felt the earth shaking as something hard landed on it, probably that larger ship that landed.
Sasuke who had Ren slung over his shoulders jumped through past a tree, only to almost to get tackled by a wolf demon. Naruto came behind him, kicking the creature into a tree before flipping forward and bringing his kunai down into its skull. Sasuke looked at his friend nodding, smiling a little as they continued moving.
"Who are you people, Ace Ops?" The girl being held by Kakashi asked as they flowed through the trees.
Naruto came up behind them, "Don't freak out on us, but we kind of got dragged into this."
The girl frowned a little, "I don't care, just tell me is Ren going to be okay?"
"I promise you, he'll be fine, but kind of hold your questions until we get somewhere safe, crap!" Naruto yelled out to her, barely dodging a creature that tried to leap from the bottom of the trees.
"Naruto, are you having trouble sensing them?!" Neji asked.
"I'm getting overloaded," Naruto states before looking around. "I feel hundreds, and that's just people running from terror, crying, anger, and straight apathy."
"Wait you can sense stuff?" She inquired, while getting used to the fact they were moving inhumanely fast through the trees.
Naruto chuckled a little, rubbing the back of his head, "Long story, what's your name!"
"Nora!" Nora looked at her wrist, "You're the Temporary User for Ghira's Commlink."
"You know Ghira," Naruto yelled back as he caught up to them, "He's safe back at our camp!"
"Oh, thank goodness," Nora breathed out as she looked at her wrist. "Where are we going?"
"We're heading somewhere safe, I at last hope that we are!" Naruto answered as he kept pace with Kakashi, and Sasuke.
"Head north!" She yelled out, "Our commander's beacon went online for a moment in that direction, plus Nova Atlas fired at the ship!"
"Nova Atlas, what even is that thing, it was massive?!" Kiba yelled out as he caught up to them.
Nora frowned, "You're not from Nova?"
"Kiba…" Naruto growled in frustration.
"HOLY SHIT YOUR ALIENS?!" Nora screamed as she struggled in Kakashi's grip, "Ren!"
Kakashi rolled his eyes, looking at Naruto, the blonde reluctantly sighed, "We're not going to hurt you."
"Just don't probe us!" Nora exclaimed as she stopped struggling, "I do not consent to any probing, no!"
Naruto blinked at her, "What the hell is probing?!"
Nora blushed a little, "D-Don't worry about that."
Kakashi meanwhile was slightly chuckling, if anyone could see under his mask, there would a small shit eating grin spread across his lips. Naruto stopped as he felt several people running toward them, they were filled with malice. Kakashi stopped as well, putting Nora down as Sasuke still carried Ren. Naruto watched as a group of seven came out of the forest, into a clearing. They were carrying someone on a stretcher, Nora stood by Kakashi, looking over toward Nova Atlas in the horizon.
"Holy crap," Nora looked at the large city ship in the distance, "She's nearly broke…"
Naruto's eyes widened as he noticed someone running toward the group. He was full of malice, ill intent, and had the same type of dark presence as the beasts. The beasts followed him, Naruto looked toward Sasuke who handed the injured teen known as Ren off to Kiba. Both Kakashi and Neji stood guard over them as Naruto and Sasuke charged forward.
Ruby was running into a clearing, toward where Winter's beacon was. She looked over to the left, seeing someone like the demonic man. She aimed Crescent Rose at him, pulling the trigger. The high velocity round was deflected by some type of knife gauntlet he wielded on his wrist. She could hear him laughing maniacally as he approached.
"Hello Ruby Rose!" He screamed out, "Lady Salem would like to have you over for a playdate, little girl!"
"Ruby!" Yang screamed as she got in front of her sister, barely blocking the first slash from the man with Ember Celica.
A scorpions tail suddenly came out, stabbing Yang in the side, she screamed in pain. Purple fluid dripped from the wound as he kicked her away. Weiss came into the fray, stabbing at him, easily he dodged her attacks. Grabbing her by the throat, she would've had it snapped in that second if Blake didn't try to engage, slashing at him with her Gambol Shroud's katana form. He dropped Weiss, but went to stab Blake in the stomach, she barely dodged to the side as the two medics carrying Qrow shouted out.
Dozens of Grimm came from the direction of the man, all of them Beringels. He smiled, grabbing Blake, and then throwing her aside as Ruby fired another shot at him from close range. He shocked everyone by catching it midair, smirking as he cackled. He approached Ruby, who heard Yang cough, seeing blood dribble from her mouth. She tried to slash at him, only to have Crescent Rose snatched out of her hands, she tried to run to her sister using her semblance. However, she couldn't activate in time as he grabbed her with his tail.
"Yang!" She yelled, trying to reach out to her, only to have her wrists grabbed. 'Get off of me!"
"Oh no can do, little rose," the man cackled, "Because you've got a date with destiny to get too."
"Weiss!" Blake screamed, only to see the horde of powerful Grimm coming.
Yang reached out to Ruby, "Ruby…"
The man was about to take off running with her, when suddenly a boot slammed into his face. A blonde-haired teen kicked him across the face, breaking his jaw. He careened off to the side as a wave of similar looking teens crashed into the horde of Grimm. Holding them off, even gaining ground. Ruby had fallen to the ground from the man's death grip, only to look up to see the blonde teen. His azure eyes stared back her, holding his hand.
A raven-haired teen landed next to the blonde, standing side by side with him. His strange red eyes staring at the man that had just attacked her. He looked down at her, then at a wrist communicator, and then held his hand out.
"Ruby Rose, correct?" He asked.
"Yeah, how do you know me…you look familiar…" She answered, staring at him. "Wait, you're him!"
"I'm who?" He inquired, facing toward where Yang was. "Sasuke, can you tend that girl over there?"
The raven-haired teen nodded, "I'm on it, Naruto, are you okay to fight them all?"
"I'm not going to fight them Sasuke," Naruto growled as he saw the man get up from the kick and realigning his jaw with a bright smile. "I'm going to destroy them."
"Who the fuck are you kid," The man screamed out as he readied his knife gauntlets. "Lady Salem demands your surrender, perhaps I'll give you all a quick death! Once I'm done with you, I'm going to play with my food over there! Just know, I, Tyrian Callows will be feasting on your fucking bones by the end of today!"
Naruto's azure eyes turned red, "How do people like you even exist?! You go around hurting and killing people for the joy of it!"
"I'm so sick, and tired of people like you on my world! You are not just going to waltz in here and fuck it up even more!" Naruto yelled at the man, his hands growing claws. "Some come on, I need some stress relief, you freak!"
Tyrian laughed as bounded toward Naruto, "Let's dance then, brat!"
