VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Tsunade adjusted her reading glasses and was completely lost in the book she had bought from Mikogami.

at first, she had only purchased some corny romance novels from the man as it was one of her secret guilty pleasures but after being confused at some of the terminologies that were used in those books, she decided to learn more about the world Naruto was in.

"So, an important factor with the idea of defeat in detail is to be more mobile than your enemy, force them to divert troops then bring a large portion of your mobile troops on the smaller enemy force and that's how he was able to defeat whole armies with inferior numbers...amazing," Tsunade thought

The Senju woman flipped through another page of her book but she was suddenly pulled out of her reading when a familiar white-haired man appeared through the open window

"Tsunade-hime, I see you're looking just as beautiful as always" Jiraiya spoke as he took notice of the stack of books on Tsunade's desk, the Senju woman nearly jumped and repressed the urge to throw her book at the Toad Sage

"Damn it Jiraiya! What did I tell you about using the Windows?!" Tsunade scolded, Jiraiya was about to give his reply before noticing what she was reading exactly

"Is that from…" Jiraiya trailed off as Tsunade signaled for her Anbu to leave the room and after a brief second they all did, Tsunade walked over to the open Window that Jiraiya came in from and quickly closed it

"Yes, it's from Mikogami" Tsunade spoke while Jiraiya stared at her

"I knew curiosity would get the better of you at some point," the Toad sage said with a sigh and Tsunade bit her lower lip

"Some of these things are completely unheard of...if it wasn't for the photos that are in these books, I don't think I'd believe it any of it, I had no idea they were this advanced...why didn't you tell me? This would have benefited Konoha greatly!" Tsunade exclaimed, Jiraiya took a deep breath and tried to choose his next words carefully

"Because it's a delicate thing, Tsunade-hime, the weapons they wield would cause a huge power shift here if it's not handled with care" Jiraiya softly started while the Senju woman looked up at him with curiosity

"I don't understand..." she spoke, Jiraiya began to go through her books, after a few seconds the Toad sage found the right one and handed it to her

"You've read this one already right?" the Toad sage asked and Tsunade read the title

"The Complete History of the Great War...I only skimmed through it" Tsunade answered, Jiraiya nodded and opened the book, the Toad sage flipped through the book before showing Tsunade a page

"Right here...the main nations involved at the start of the war all wanted to show off their military and technological might...the problem was many generals had outdated tactics, Technology progressed faster than the mentality did and it led to such a huge loss of life on all sides," Jiraiya explained as Tsunade was slowly starting to understand what Jiraiya was getting at, however, the Toad sage continued

"I believe if we introduce these weapons so abruptly it can shake the Shinobi system to its very core, the Shinobi world isn't mature enough for these weapons, we already had three great wars each more devastating than the last...imagine if we suddenly had this firepower" Jiraiya finished, Tsunade frowned as she began to picture a Shinobi world like that, she could now see where Jiraiya was coming from and quite frankly agreed with him.

"But…" Jiraiya suddenly spoke and Tsunade looked up at him

"I didn't say we couldn't introduce anything from that world, I think there are a few things we can learn from them that would benefit Konoha greatly without...you know...dismantling the current Shinobi system," Jiraiya said with a smile, Tsunade blinked at him

"Like what?" she asked and Jiraiya took a deep breath

"More advancements in agriculture for one, while we aren't too dependent on trade for food like some of the other nations, I believe the more self-reliant we are, the better, especially with our Taki project. we can also start working on improving our infrastructure for Konoha in general, I know you're gonna like this one, we can start learning more about the medical world over there and bring some of that back here and do what we were previously unable to do" Jiraiya explained

The Sannin was nearly out of breath as he looked over to the beaming Senju, her smile only widened as she thought of all of the possibilities this could open up. Tsunade suddenly took out a blank scroll from her desk

"I'll be tweaking Yūgao's mission, then," Tsunade said as the Senju woman was writing in her scroll, something crossed Jiraiya's mind

"By the way how is our little operation coming?" Jiraiya asked while Tsunade placed the tip of her pen on her lower lip

"Thankfully it was a total success, we were able to subdue him with ease and took him into custody" Tsunade started as she took a deep breath

"The Next step is going to be a bit more tricky and I need you here for that when we tried to get information out of him, we found he had a seal on his tongue preventing him from telling us anything…when you have the time go check it out, I'll send Inoichi to properly break him when you're done" Tsunade explained, Jiraiya gave her a slow nod

"Got it"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

"Do we really have to be here this early?" Naruto asked with a yawn as Yūgao stood behind him with folded arms in a casual suit, her coal-black eyes found their way over to her blond student

"Yes, now stop complaining" Yūgao replied and the two waited at the bus stop, the blond Shinobi had a lot of things running through his head.

At first, Naruto was annoyed he didn't get even the chance to tell his friends about any of this and why he was going to be leaving out of the blue.

however, the Headmaster did reassure him he'd meet up with them so that put him at ease for now. the two waited for a few more minutes with Naruto pacing around and Yūgao leaning on a nearby dead tree

Suddenly headlights could be seen from the tunnel and Naruto straighten himself out, the Purple-haired Anbu let out a deep breath and stood up.

The Vehicle parked in front of the two Shinobis and Naruto picked up the bags the doors opened and the Bus driver walked out, just as before, Naruto felt the Bus driver's glowing eyes stare into his soul

"Tell me, how did you like your first semester at the Academy?" The bus driver said, to his surprise, Naruto frowned and put his hands in his pockets

"It was...alright, I guess," Naruto said, the Bus driver chuckled and motioned for the two to get on the bus.

Yūgao was the first to get on with her own bag slung over her shoulder and Naruto quickly followed behind her but once the Shinobi stepped foot in the bus, he noticed the Bus driver take out a cigar and a lighter, Naruto watched the Man light up his Cigar with mild interest

"What...you want one?" the Bus driver offered as he opened up a Cigar case, the blond shrugged and reached for one.

*slap*

"Ack!" Naruto recoiled in pain as Yūgao appeared between the two with her hand firmly on Naruto's wrist, the Anbu glared at her student

"Smoking is bad for your health and Tsunade-sama would punish you severely, more importantly, she'd chew me out for letting this happen so don't even think about it...understand me?" Yūgao said as she suddenly increased her grip causing Naruto to grit his teeth in pain

"I got it! I got it!" Naruto shouted and Yūgao let Naruto's hand go, the Anbu shot a dirty look at the smirking Bus driver before taking a seat at the front of the Vehicle, Naruto rubbed his wrist and took a seat in front of her

"Well, buckle up you two, I'm not one for taking slow rides" the Bus driver spoke as he took a puff from his Cigar, Yūgao quickly held on to the Bus railing while Naruto looked slightly confused Before the blond could do anything the bus driver stepped on the gas.

Naruto stumbled for a second before grabbing a hold of the bus railing to calm his nerves he had been on a train but this was something else, after getting a hold of himself, Naruto took a deep breath

"So... Mr. Bus driver guy…" Naruto was cut off when the Bus driver raised a hand

"Nurari, just call me by my name when it's the three of us," the Bus driver said, Naruto gave the man a slow nod as the bus reached the tunnel

"Just beyond this tunnel is the human world, you've probably done at least some research on what to expect...still let me tell you that you're gonna get blown away" Nurari let out a puff of smoke from his Cigar

the Bus entered the tunnel and Naruto quickly glanced at the Window, it was pitch black after several seconds before a flash of light suddenly blinded Naruto.

Naruto quickly pulled himself away from the Window and rubbed his eyes, before glancing back, his eyes widened as he laid his eyes on a Car, driving by the Bus

"That's…a car right?" Naruto asked Nurari chuckled

"Yes, though most people in this part of the country prefer to take the Metro, Cars are still fairly common," Nurari said and Naruto perked up at this

"what country are we actually in?" Naruto spoke

"Japan, oddly enough the same language you use back in your world is extremely similar if not exactly the same as the one here in Japan, so you should have no problem trying to understand the people here" Nurari explained while he adjusted the rearview mirror, Naruto let out a sigh as he watched the Cars drive by, it was like with each answer he got, seven more questions would pop up.

Naruto glanced at Yūgao and saw that she was simply reading a book without a care in the world. The Shinobi stared back at the Window and just decided to take in all of his surroundings, after half an hour of silence the Bus driver spoke

"Now that we're off this highway, I should explain that this is the Area you'll be staying in...it's a residential area, typical for Humans, everything you need is within walking distance, even the Metro to get into the deeper parts of the city is here," Nurari said as he started to slow down.

Naruto and Yūgao stared out the window to see an almost endless amount of houses with normal Humans simply going about their lives. Finally, the Bus parked in front of an Apartment complex, and the two Shinobis hopped off with their bags.

"Weren't you supposed to explain to us what the mission was?" Naruto asked while the Bus driver picked up a small black box from his seat

"It's confidential, I'd prefer we get indoors before I explain everything" Nurari answered as he took one last drag of his Cigar before putting it out on the floor, Yūgao nodded in agreement

"Makes sense" the Anbu spoke but before they could head into the complex, a voice caught their attention

"Excuse me! I saw the name of the School on your bus, are you really from Yokai Academy?" the three turned over to see a meek, brown-haired woman approach them with a friendly smile

"Yes" Naruto answered, the brown-haired woman's smile only grew at this

"Oh! This is wonderful, you see I have a son who just happens to be attending the Academy as well!" She cheerfully extended her hand

"I-is that so…" Yūgao spoke as she gave her a half-hearted smile and shook the Woman's hand, the Bus driver turned over to her with his glowing eyes

"Excuse us but we're currently in the middle of something," Nurari said and the brown-haired woman's mouth formed an o-shape

"O-Oh! Forgive me for my interruption then, I'll be out of your hair but before I go, I'm Kasumi, I only live two houses down, I hope to see you around" Kasumi gave the two a short bow before walking away, the group glanced at each other then the Bus driver spoke up

"We should get inside" both Shinobis nodded and followed Nuruari upstairs

Yūgao inserted the key into the lock and with a soft click the door was open, the first thing Naruto and Yūgao noticed was how empty the Apartment was.

The Carpet was brand new but nothing special, there were two windows adjacent to each other and a kitchen just to the right in the living room but that was about it, to Naruto it almost looked like an exact copy of his dorm in Yokai except with two rooms.

"You two did bring the furniture with you right?" Nurari asked and Yūgao nodded

"That's what the Storage scrolls were for," the Anbu said as she took one out from her bag.

Yūgao placed the scroll in the center of the living room and made a half ram seal, in a poof of smoke a small coffee table appeared and the Bus driver gave them an eerie smirk

"You Shinobis are something else…" He commented before taking out a folded up map from his back pocket

"let's begin then" Nurari spoke as the group sat down by the coffee table

"So! What are we going to be doing?" Naruto asked the Bus driver was about to take out another Cigar before Yūgao cut in

"No smoking," the Anbu said while Nurari frowned but nod and set down the map

"...Alright, First, I need to give you two some context, there is an organization in the Human World that is firmly Anti-Human made up of High-level Monsters, they're well-connected with Politicians, they also have both the finances and the manpower to make themselves quite the threat, you two are going to give them a black eye tonight," the Bus driver said as he unfolded the Map to reveal a factory

"Before you continue, I'd like to know what's the Headmaster's issue with this organization so I know what we're getting into." Yūgao spoke and Nurari took a deep breath, his glowing eyes scanning both Naruto and Yūgao.

"Well to start, you two have both seen what human weapons here are capable of right?" Nurari asked, Yūgao nodded but Naruto shook his head

"I've only read a bit about them," the Uzumaki stated, the Bus driver nodded at this

"Monsters are still heavily outnumbered by Humans and their weapons have the potential to destroy this whole planet, this organization plans to throw the world into Chaos and rule over the human world, as I said they have the finances and manpower to make themselves a big threat" Nurari stated before reaching for the small box he had brought with him, the Bus driver slowly opened it to reveal it contained a revolver.

Yūgao simply glanced at the weapon, she had seen something similar during her first mission here but was still curious to get a full explanation. Naruto, on the other hand, continued to stare at it.

"This is a Gun, to keep it short, this is a weapon that can shoot out a projectile at such a high speed that it can penetrate the average human with ease, there are many variations of them in this world, have you seen anything like it?" the Bus driver asked, Naruto shook his head but Yūgao nodded

"Yes, during my first mission by the coast, there was a couple of men in a uniform carrying them, though they looked a bit different" Yūgao answered while Naruto shot her a look of surprise and Nurari chuckled

"Those men were Japanese law enforcement...I wanted to show this for your mission, just so you know what you're dealing with, most likely you won't be dealing with Monsters but Human Mercenaries guarding the place" The Bus driver continued

"Can you just get on with explaining the mission please?" Naruto said with an impatient look on his face, Nurari frowned before nodding and pointing at the map

"Fine...the Organization has occupied an old Abandoned Factory with their own Human Mercenaries, from what the Headmaster's spies have gathered they're going to move a large amount of cargo by truck which is a vehicle just slightly larger than my bus, we have no idea where that cargo is headed but it must be pretty important if it's being kept under such tight security" the Bus driver explained, Naruto blinked for a second

"Wait, Spies? The old man has spies?" Naruto asked as Nurari smirked

"Yes, He got the idea from your master, Jiraiya, it took a lot of time and resources when he got back here but he's managed to build himself quite the network of information," the Man said, Yūgao nodded at this before looking down at the map on the table

"So I'm assuming this is the place?" the Purple-haired Anbu said and the man gave them another nod

"there aren't any High-ranked members stationed there and the guards shouldn't be too much of a problem, though do be as careful as possible as I said these weapons can be extremely lethal if you let your guard down, there is something else..." Nurari trailed off

"It's not part of the mission but you'll be paid a handsome bonus if you're able to steal some important files so we might be able to find out more information about the organization" The Bus driver finished, both Shinobis took in all of this information before glancing at each other and after a few seconds of silence, Naruto softly spoke

"When do we leave?"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Mizore let out a sigh as she exited a hallway in Yokai, overall despite it being a good day for her, she was slightly frustrated the Yuki-onna had planned to get Naruto alone during these last two days at the Academy to get her answer but Naruto had just completely disappeared on them.

The Yuki-onna didn't even have any idea if he was coming back until Ms. Nekonome assure her that Naruto would join up with them for their trip in a few days

"Mizore! Oi! Mizore!" a familiar blue-haired teen shouted, Mizore blinked before turning over to see Kurumu running up to her

"Could you please not be so loud? You're already making a scene" Mizore said as Kurumu saw some students looking at them strangely

"R-Right, I kind of want to talk to you about something" Kurumu stated, Mizore raised an eyebrow at this

"Okay...what is it?" the Yuki-onna asked while Kurumu kept glancing around before leaning closer

"It's about Naruto" Kurumu whispered, now Mizore was interested in what Kurumu had to say

"What about him?" Mizore said as Kurumu gave her a slight smirk

"Let's go get some lunch and I'll talk to you about it on the way" Kurumu stated and the two began to make their way to the Cafeteria, there was relative silence between them until the succubus finally spoke

"I know you have a thing for Naruto" Kurumu said in a teasing tone and a cheeky grin on her face, Mizore simply shrugged at her

"Well, I wasn't exactly trying to hide it" Mizore replied in a tone almost void of emotion, Kurumu silently cursed, she at least wanted to tease Mizore a bit with this, Kurumu took a deep breath

"So...are you going to tell him?" Kurumu asked

"I plan to" Mizore answered, almost instantly, Kurumu turned over to her

"Okay, How do you exactly plan to do that?" Kurumu questioned as Mizore tilted her head

"Why do you need to know?" Mizore said while Kurumu gave her a frustrated sigh

"Because I really want to help you" the Succubus replied, for a brief second a look of confusion found its way onto Mizore's face

"Help me? why?" Mizore questioned, Kurumu suddenly stopped and took a deep breath

"I think it's really, really, cute that you have something for Naruto, even if he doesn't notice it right now" Kurumu started before she suddenly frowned

"And I heard from Yukari about Yuki-onnas and their fertility problems, is it true?" Kurumu whispered and Mizore sighed

"Our fertility period only lasts about a couple of years, in order to keep our birth rates up, many Yuki-onnas are being married off if they can't find a suitable mate at seventeen" Mizore answered.

Kurumu inwardly cringed at that, while Succubuses were having their own birth decline, That was practically unheard of...being forced to marry someone you didn't love? if Kurumu was being completely honest, the thought of it disgusted her.

"...what were you planning on doing?" Kurumu asked and once again started walking towards the cafeteria, Mizore played with her sucker as she pondered on the question

"Well, I'll just tell him when I have the chance to, I hope to lock it down as fast as I can," Mizore said as she twirled her hair, Kurumu blinked at this

"Wait, so you've decided that he's the one? Isn't that going a little fast?" Kurumu brought up

"Like I said, Yuki-onnas don't have a lot of time, I don't want to get married off to someone I don't know, I'm not sure if it's love but there's something there I guess...I just hope he feels the same way" Mizore rubbed her wrist as she said this, Kurumu gave her a reassuring smile

"Naruto can be a bit of a blockhead but he's a good person at heart, I'm sure it'll work out," Kurumu said just as the two finally reach the student cafeteria

"Are you going to want anything?" Kurumu asked Mizore shook her head

"I didn't bring any mo-"

"It's on me" Kurumu interrupted as the Yuki-onna flashed a grin at her

"A Snow Cone would be nice…"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Naruto once again held on to the railing of the Bus as Nurari was now speeding through an almost unoccupied freeway, it was nearly midnight...a part of Naruto felt like he was going to be sick just because of how fast the Bus going

"D-Do you have to keep going this fast?! Can't you just slow down a bit? Or b-better yet can't we just take the rooftops like we used to back home?" Naruto asked the Bus driver shot him a creepy smile

"But where would be the fun in that?" Nurari stood up from his seat and stared at the Shinobi, Naruto noticed both of Nurari's hands were in the air

"Aren't you supposed to be controlling this thing?!" Naruto screamed, the Bus driver frowned before suddenly grabbing the steering wheel and turning the vehicle just in time to avoid an accident with a nearby truck

"Relax, Uzumaki, he might be reckless but he hasn't gotten us killed yet" Yūgao spoke while Naruto glared at her

"Like that's reassuring" the Shinobi scoffed while increasing his grip on the railing.

Yūgao sighed before going back to her reading, after few more minutes of the Bus driver's reckless driving the two Shinobis finally made it to the outskirts of the factory just next to it, most of the surrounding buildings seemed deserted, the streets leading up the outskirts of the Factory were completely empty as well

Naruto's legs felt like they were about to give out as the Shinobi hopped off the bus, Yūgao simply casually exited the bus without a care in the world.

"Here we are before you two get started, I'll need to give you some equipment that'll help you out" the Bus driver took out two earpieces

"These are Wireless radio transmitters, you've used these before right?" Nurari asked, both Shinobis nodded and the man with glowing eyes smirked

"Perfect… and before I forget here" the Bus driver took out binoculars

"These are gonna be useful to scout out the area, see if you can find a way to sneak in, there's one last thing" the man took out a suitcase and dug around both Naruto and Yūgao stole a glance at each other before the Bus driver took out two Anbu uniforms and mask

"The Headmaster said these will be perfect for concealing your identity, we don't need them to start tracking you two down back at Yokai, if...you do get caught, make sure to eliminate the person" Nurari spoke as he handed the two objects over to the Shinobis.

Yūgao had a small smile on her face, she wasn't able to bring more Anbu uniforms or her mask over to this world so this was a surprise but a welcomed one. Naruto, however, was stuck on something the Bus driver said

"When you say...eliminate the person, do you mean…" Naruto trailed off as the Bus driver turned his attention to the blond

"kill them? Yes, you two are Shinobis, it's your profession, isn't it?" Nurari questioned Yūgao nodded but glanced at her blond student with a frown

"Has he really not had his first kill? I already had mine when I was his age, this might complicate things…." Yūgao thought before putting on her Anbu armor over her black tank top

"Y-Yeah of course it is!" Naruto said, Yūgao began to tie her hair into a ponytail, she looked over to the Bus driver with a serious look

"Let's get this show on the road then" Yūgao put on the earpiece, the Bus driver nodded in agreement and walked into the Bus

"I'll be parked nearby on the radio with you two if you have questions," Nurari said and quickly drove away

Naruto watched the retreating Vehicle and let out a sigh, the blond stared at his Anbu mask before turning to Yūgao

"Hey, Sensei, why is my Mask just blank while your mask is a Cat? Couldn't I have gotten something...you know cooler? It doesn't even have any features, it's just white with two eye holes" Naruto complained while holding the blank Anbu mask

Yūgao completely ignored him and took in her surroundings, she glanced from building to building before finally looking over to the Factory in the distance

"Put on your Uniform, I'll be on the rooftop scouting out the area" Yūgao spoke before running up the wall and onto the rooftop, the Purple-haired Anbu used the Binoculars to scan the distant Factory for any entrance points

"Three guards posted outside of the main gate, one in that guardhouse…...ah perfect!" Yūgao set down the Binoculars just as Naruto landed next to her, Yūgao smiled slightly when she saw her student in an Anbu Uniform

"I never thought I'd say this but that Anbu Uniform kind of suits you" Yūgao commented, the blond Shinobi looked down at his Uniform before returning the grin

"You really think so?" Naruto asked the Anbu nodded

"If you weren't still a genin and if we were back home, I'd put in a recommendation for you to join Anbu...but enough of that" Yūgao said before putting away the Binoculars, after a brief silence, Yūgao spoke up

"Be honest with me, Uzumaki, have you had your first kill yet?" Yūgao asked Naruto stiffened for a second before the blond avoided eye contact with her

"I...haven't, Ero-Sannin usually took care of any bandits or rouge Shinobis that tried to get in our way during the trip and Kakashi-sensei didn't really take the time to talk to me about it," Naruto said with a crestfallen look, Yūgao glanced back at the Factory before putting on her Anbu Mask

"Better late than never, I understand you're hesitant to kill...but I'll be here to help you with it, just trust me" Yūgao spoke in a surprisingly soft tone

Naruto gave her a slow nod before putting on the blank mask, The two Shinobis through rooftop to rooftop as they sprinted towards the Factory.

Just as they were about to reach the Perimeter, Yūgao motioned for Naruto to stop, the Uzumaki was slightly confused but did so regardless and waited, Yūgao slowly crouched over and peaked over

"There's a Guard outside the fence…" Yūgao said as Naruto stared at the middle-aged man who was armed with a rifle and constantly scanning his surroundings.

"What are we gonna do?" Naruto asked, Yūgao simply made a Tiger Seal

"Genjutsu: Temple of Nirvana" Yūgao whispered as soon as those words left the Anbu's mouth, feathers began to fall from the sky, the Guard looked up at the Night Sky and stared at the falling feathers completely mesmerized by them, the man stumbled for a second before he collapsed on the floor.

Yūgao jumped down from the Rooftop, Naruto followed after her and the two silently landed on the ground, Yūgao took out a Kunai from her Shinobi pouch and wordlessly gave it to Naruto

"Kill him" She ordered, the Uzumaki glanced at the weapon and back at the unconscious Guard, he swallowed some saliva on his throat and grabbed the Kunai.

Naruto kneeled by at the man's downed form and brought the Kunai just above the Man's chest, after taking a deep breath, Naruto swiftly pierced the Man's heart.

Several seconds of silence went by as Naruto slowly tore the Kunai out from the body and stood up, Naruto's breathing became ragged for a second and he turned away from Corpse.

"S-Sensei, I think, I'm gonna need a minute or two," Naruto said as he lifted his mask and leaned against a nearby wall.

Yūgao nodded at this and decided to get rid of the body as soon as possible. Taking in her surroundings, she saw there was a dumpster nearby.

"Perfect" Yūgao thought, the Anbu slowly dragged the body near the Dumpster and hid the body inside, she glanced back at her student to see he was still staring into the distance, it was a haunting look he had.

"Though, he's handling it better than I did" Yūgao mused before she walked over to him

"Listen, it's completely normal to feel what you're feeling, I don't think I've ever met a Shinobi who didn't feel some sort of remorse during their first kill but just remember this is part of the job...in fact, I'll tell you something Kakashi-senpai told me when I first joined Anbu" Yūgao started, Naruto grew curious at that and looked up at her

"Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto questioned as Yūgao nodded

"...if I recall correctly, he said 'unfortunately, killing is one of those things that will get easier the more you do it' cynical as that sounds, he's right, I'd be more worried about you if you weren't feeling bad about this, our emotions is what separates us from Monsters, they don't feel anything when they kill, so we-"

"Sensei, You know some of my friends are Monsters, right?" Naruto abruptly pointed out, Yūgao fell silent at that

"Apologies...but you understand what I was trying to say, correct?" Yūgao asked, Naruto simply turned away to face the Factory that was now not too far from their location

"But…" Naruto softly spoke as he turned back to her

"How do you deal with this...this feeling of..." the Uzumaki tried to get his words out

"Disgust?" Yūgao finished for him as Naruto stayed silent, there were no other words to describe it, Yūgao bit her lower lip before answering

"A lot of Shinobis cope with it differently, Kakashi-senpai reads his smut, Gai-san goes on and on about Youth even Hokage-sama drinks to deal with it..." the Purple-haired Anbu explained, Naruto slowly stood up and dusted himself off

"Are you going to be okay? You're most likely going to have to kill another Guard. are you going to be able to handle that?" Yūgao spoke as she eyed her student

"Yeah...I-I think so" Naruto replied, he slowly put his blank mask on

"We still need to get this done after all..." Naruto said Yūgao smiled sightly, that went far better than she had expected

"Alright, there's a small side door on the far right that's being watched by only two men, I have an idea on how we could deal with them but first we need to set something up" Yūgao said, the Anbu quickly put her mask up and dashed up the building with her student following behind her.

The Anbu quickly hid next to a wall, several feet away from her was the fence and several Guards walking back and forth, she slowly peeked over and motioned for Naruto to do the same

"You see that Watertower up there? That Guard has a good view of most of the Factory, we can take it out and use it as a distraction" Yūgao said, she took out a Kunai from her Shinobi tool pouch, Naruto blinked behind his mask as he realized something

"Sensei, can't you just use Genjutsu to knock them all out like you did with that Guard?" Naruto pointed out, Yūgao took out an explosive tag as she opened her mouth to reply

"I'm using this job to field test some of your training and see how far you've come...while not exactly the same, I've done my fair share of sneaking missions like this and no amount of training can compare to the real thing so it's better to pick up the experience here" Yūgao explained as she took out some Ninja string and tied it to the Kunai

"We can practically get away with using Genjutsu to sneak by in this world but back in Konoha? Not so much...Sensor Shinobis can pick up on Genjutsu in an instant" Yūgao added as she handed the Kunai to Naruto and pointed to the water tower

"Take the shot," Yūgao said, Naruto stared at the Kunai for a second before tossing it towards his target, the steel weapon dug itself into one of the wooden legs of the Water tower and Yūgao smirked as the Guard on the Water tower didn't hear a thing.

"Perfect" Yūgao said before motioning for Naruto to follow her, the two Shinobis practically lurked around the perimeter until they had found themselves at the side door and hid behind another wall, Yūgao turned over to her student.

"The second I activate that explosive tag I want you to take out those two Guards, they won't see it coming, we'll move in, make a grab for the files in the building then take out the truck...ready?" Yūgao said.

Naruto gave her a hesitant nod and took out two Kunais from his pouch, he peaked over and prepared himself as the Purple-haired Anbu behind him made a half-ram seal

"Katsu" Yūgao whispered

*Ka-boom*

The two Guards jumped in shock and turned to see a huge cloud of smoke on the other side of the Factory, just as they turned away two Kunais flew in the air and struck them in the back of their heads

With a soft thud they fell dead on the floor, Naruto exhaled as he glanced at the dead guards he quickly snapped out of it when he saw Yūgao bolt for the side door and quickly followed her.

"It's locked…Uzumaki, Focus some Wind Chakra into a Kunai that should make it sharp enough to cut through the lock" Yūgao ordered, Naruto nodded and quickly took out another one.

after a few seconds of silence, the Kunai started to have a very faint light blue glow, Naruto completely cut through the Iron lock with one swing and the fence door flew open.

Yūgao glanced to her left to see some steel containers next to her, she crouched down and placed another Explosive tag on one. she turned around and placed another tag on the fence behind them, Naruto shot her a look of curiosity.

"Why are you putting one there?" Naruto whispered Yūgao turned to him

"Just in case…back in Anbu, we always made sure we had an escape route, sometimes we would even make two, if for whatever reason the mission goes south, we can use this as a distraction again" Yūgao answered as she placed yet another tag on the other side of the container

"let's keep moving I'm sure most of them are going to investigate the water tower, we should get to the rooftop of the Factory and make our way down from there, if the Headmaster's info was right there should be a roof access door there" Yūgao continued as the two sprinted towards the main building, they ran up the Factory wall and onto the rooftop in the matter of a few seconds.

As Yūgao was the first on the Rooftop she scanned her surroundings, to her surprise there was no one there, not a single person and there was the door for rooftop access. Naruto soon landed next to her and Yūgao steadied her breath as she suddenly pulled Naruto over behind a ventilation unit

"There's a Security camera there...pass me a Shuriken" Yūgao whispered, Naruto slowly did so and the Anbu peaked over from cover, the Camera didn't even notice them, she focused some Chakra into the Shuriken and launched it

Sparks flew as the Shuriken made impact and pieces of the Security Camera fell down, both Shinobis jumped over their cover and went over through the door.

the two quickly went down the stairs but they were suddenly faced with a problem. Both hallways split off in opposite directions, Naruto and Yūgao glanced at each other before the Purple-haired Anbu let out a sigh.

"We're going to have to split up to cover more ground, I'll take the left side you deal with the right side," Yūgao said, Naruto nodded, he dug through his pocket and pulled out a storage scroll, just as he was about to unseal it Yūgao stopped him

"Here's a tip, that I picked up from Anbu, never use a Sword in narrow hallways, it's too clunky to be swinging around….a Kunai will always work better here" Yūgao spoke as she took one out from her pocket, Naruto gave her a nod and put the scroll back in his pocket before taking out a Kunai of his own

"One more thing...be careful about using Wind Ninjutsu here, some lower rank Jutsus are okay but don't go overboard, the last thing you need is for the whole building to fall right on top of you...Are you sure you're going to be alright on your own?" Yūgao asked with a hint of concern, Naruto gave her a reassuring smile

"I'll be fine, Sensei" Naruto answered, the blond looked ahead of him and slowly began to walk through the hallway, it was almost eerie just how quiet it was, he expected to at least see a few guards here, the old creep said security was tight but aside from the Guards they saw outside, the Office sector of the Factory almost felt devoid of any humans.

Naruto took each step with caution and firmly gripped the Kunai in his hand. A flickering light caused Naruto to stiffened for a second, Naruto let out a sigh of minor frustration as he realized it was just one of the ceiling lights, the Uzumaki pressed on his earpiece and spoke

"Hey, what exactly did they use this place for?" the Shinobi heard static for a few seconds before he heard a voice

"It was for a shipping company around forty years ago, got bought off then converted to a clothing factory but only for a short time for whatever reason, it suddenly was just abandoned and left here to decay...until recently," the Bus driver's voice came through the wireless transmitter, Naruto heard the man take a deep breath

"By the way, I saw a glimpse of your little firework show from my spot, we're lucky this part of town is practically abandoned as well, or else we'd be in deep shit with Law enforcement" though Nurari couldn't see it, Naruto had a sheepish smile on his face

He slowly leaned against a wall and peeked over to the left, the Hallway seemed to be clear but just as Naruto was about to move, he heard a doorknob turn, Shinobi instincts overcame Naruto and he formed a ram seal.

A Guard cluelessly exited a room with his rifle strapped on his back and a Transparent Naruto held his breath as the Guard simply walked past him

but unlike the other Guards, Naruto saw he was dressed differently, the man had a light blue helmet with some sort of cloth wrapped around it, Naruto also noticed this one was somewhat older than the other Guards he had run into

"Three years fighting in Liberia, Seven in Blackwater taking out Pirates on the East African coast and now I'm here training some guys barely in their twenties, I'm not getting paid enough for this shit." the Guard ranted, Naruto almost had no idea what the man was talking about but decided to move in.

Just as Naruto was about to release his Jutsu, a noise startled both the Mercenary and Naruto. The Guard quickly dug through his back pocket and took out a walkie talkie

"Boss, the Camera on the roof went down, there should be no reason for it to be down, I know most of the guys are checking out the water tower and securing the area but should we send someone up there?"

Naruto's eyes widened as he heard this, the Guard in front of him was actually in charge of this whole place, what a stroke of luck! but the blond was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the Mercenary sigh.

"Keep the rest of the guys on high alert, I'm already up here so I'll check it out myself" the Mercenary put the device back into his pocket and lifted his Rifle, Naruto held his breath once again as the Guard made a complete turn around towards the direction of the rooftop.

Naruto released the Jutsu and rushed the Mercenary with a Kunai in hand, the man let out a gasp as he turned around to see Naruto running at him

The Guard tried to aim his rifle at Naruto but Naruto was too fast. Time almost seemed to Slow down as Naruto grabbed the barrel of the rifle and pointed it away from him.

with another swift motion the Shinobi brought his elbow onto the Man's chest and forced him against the wall, Naruto pressed his Kunai against the Guard's neck and spoke

"Drop your weapon" Naruto ordered, the Guard reluctantly did so

"You're probably the one who blew up that water tower? I thought Kaz was just fucking around with the Grenades again" the man spoke, Naruto stayed silent for a few seconds

"Who hired you?" Naruto questioned in a monotone voice, the Guard started chuckling much to Naruto's surprise

"I know how this works, I've done this stuff before, if I tell you anything, you'll just kill me right after" the Mercenary shot back, Naruto paused for a moment, this was the first time he had ever interrogate someone and while it would be nice to get some advice from Yūgao that wasn't an option as both of his arms were holding the Man in place.

"You said you weren't getting paid enough for this" Naruto stated

"That's underselling it, I wasn't expecting much given how it's just a Security job but we're practically getting scraps" the Mercenary replied, it somewhat put Naruto on edge just how calm the Guard was

"Where are these secret files your employer has?" Naruto questioned once again as he pressed the tip of the Kunai on the Man's neck, just enough to draw blood, and the Guard's lower lip quiver for a second before he spoke

"Listen, I can cut you a deal...I hate this job, these guys are the most undisciplined grunts I've ever had to deal with, that guy you blew up at the water tower? He had a fetish for Grenades and nearly blew up the whole factory by tossing one next to the fuel ta-" The Guard stopped when Naruto shook his head

"I don't think you're in a position to make any deals" Naruto replied

"Kid, I've been in this line of work for nearly thirty years, I know even with that mask on, you can't be older than sixteen because of your voice, I can also tell you're inexperienced at interrogation, you're strong and fast I'll give you that and I've never seen anyone fight like that but you hesitated when I gave you my first answer which pretty much screams you don't know how to interrogate...you need your information, I'll give it to you," the Guard said, Naruto stayed silent

"I'll tell you where the safe for those files are and the combination for that safe, all I want in exchange is to live and get out of here scot-free...you said it yourself I'm not in a position to ask for anything more" The Guard stated

Naruto smirked slightly behind his mask, it sounded like a good deal to him, less bloodshed and he'd get the information he needed.

"deal...now talk" Naruto ordered

"it's three doors down in a conference room, the safe is to your right, you can't miss it, the Combination is six, zero, one, there….I said everything I know" The Guard said, Naruto nodded and put the man in a Choke-hold

"Ack! Kid, wait! We had a deal!" the Man wheezed out as Naruto put more pressure on his neck

"I'm still going to hold up my end, you'll be up in a few hours and I'll be long gone," Naruto said, the Guard tried to gasp for air before slowly fading into unconsciousness and went limp, Naruto set his body down and pressed on his earpiece

"Sensei? I got information about the files, can you take care of the Cargo?" Naruto asked, almost immediately he heard a male scream from the other end followed by a sigh

"Fine, I'll take it out, just make sure you get those files, I really want that bonus…by the way, that Scream you just heard? That was the guy watching the Security Cameras"

An Awkward silence set in between the two as Naruto didn't know what to say about that but after a few seconds he spoke

"...I guess I'll keep moving"

"Yeah…I'll meet up with you on the rooftop again once I deal with the truck"

Naruto grabbed his Kunai and made his way to the conference room, slowly opening the door, Naruto saw it was completely dark and he turned on the light switch next to him.

the whole room had a pale white wallpaper with a single roundtable in the center and some chairs sticking out.

The Uzumaki scanned the room before his eyes fell on the black safe tucked away in the back, he smirked and made his way over

Naruto crouched down and began to unlock the safe and after a few attempts. he was finally successful and found the yellow file folder in front of him, despite the fact it was not part of his mission, Naruto decided to read through it, just to sate his curiosity

"By the terms of our agreement, your men will oversee our station once a week, this Outpost might not be as important as some of our other assets but it is still a nice small chip to have for Fairy tale, treat it with care" - M

"Fairy tale...so that's their name, I wonder who 'M' is..." Naruto mused before slowly taking out a storage scroll and sealing away the files, Naruto slowly creeped out of the Conference room and pressed on his Transmitter button

"Sensei? I got the files...are you…" Naruto stopped as he heard yet another male scream

"Done? Yeah, I was just dealing with the last of these guys while you were getting those files" Naruto blinked for a few seconds

"Wait, you did all of this? that fast?" Naruto asked, on the other side of the Call, Yūgao simply shrugged

"It's not like back home...these guys are normal Humans, they're susceptible to even the most basic Genjutsu, one false call with one of the Guard's walkie talkies then a well placed Jutsu and I got rid of half of them before wiping up the rest...the truck is rigged with Explosive tags, I already got rid of the driver too, just meet me on the rooftop" Yūgao spoke and Naruto let out a half-hearted chuckle before turning around and heading back on to the rooftop

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

As the masked blond finally opened the rooftop access door, he was greeted by Yūgao who simply waved at him

"So what did you learn from this mission?" Yūgao asked as Naruto approached her and scratched the back of his head

"I...don't really know how to interrogate" Naruto answered, slowly the blond removed his blank Mask and Yūgao did the same

"I might need to get some pointers from Anko when it comes to teaching him that, she'd probably have a better idea on how to properly do that" Yūgao mused as she stared into the starry sky above them

"Anything else?" Yūgao spoke and Naruto frowned

"I didn't notice it till now but disarming these weapons the Guards have feels...risky, I don't know how to really explain it but I just thought I'd bring it up," Naruto said, Yūgao raised an eyebrow at that but made a mental note to ask her student about it later

"Alright...you have the files though right?" Yūgao asked as Naruto nodded

"Great, I'll detonate the explosive tags when we're at safe distance" Yūgao stated, Naruto smiled at this and the two Shinobis soon jumped down from the rooftop

Naruto looked at all of the bodies around him, he frowned as he did but said nothing

Just ahead of them, a pair of headlights could be seen approaching them and Yūgao motioned for the Vehicle to halt, the Bus Driver took another drag from his Cigar as he stepped out of his bus.

"Only took you guys an hour to clear this whole place out? You did better than last time, Ms. Uzuki ...but what about the Cargo?" he asked, Naruto opened his mouth to reply before an Explosion shook the ground

*Ka-boom*

Naruto stumbled slightly and turned back to face the Factory. he saw a huge cloud of black smoke rise high into the air and some parts of the Factory start to fall apart. for a brief second, Naruto thought about that last Mercenary in the Office area before shaking his head and he whipped his head to face Yūgao who held up a half-ram seal.

"Taken Care of" the Bus Driver sighed as he took another puff from his Cigar, an Explosion that big was going to attract someone but regardless, it wasn't their problem anymore

"Oh well...Mission Accomplished, we should head out then just in case we just alerted some...unwanted attention, hop on"

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

The Apartment door flew open as Naruto walked in, he was followed in by Yūgao and the Bus driver

"I think I'm gonna shower..." Naruto stated as he let out an exhausted sigh and entered his room, the Bus driver glanced around the place with his glowing eyes and turned over to Yūgao

"Still baffles me you were able to fully furnish this place in half an hour" the Bus driver stated while Yūgao sat down on the couch

"Thank the person who made storage scrolls for that" Yūgao said as she turned on the TV, while they weren't common, Televisions did exist back in Konoha just not in this way. The Anbu picked up the Remote and turned over to the Bus driver who sat on the opposite side of her

"So...now that Naruto's gone what did you want to talk about?" Yūgao asked while flipping through channels, the Bus driver pulled out a briefcase and slowly opened it to reveal stacks of Yen

"First, here's your reward, bonus and all, it's not life-changing money but it's good pay," Nurari said as Yūgao scanned the stacks of Yen, she turned back to him and picked up one stack

"How much for that weapon you had earlier?" Yūgao said, the Bus driver suddenly smirked

"Where did this come from?" He asked and Yūgao returned his smirk with one of her own

"It caught my eye, I always had an interest in weapons, I wouldn't mind learning how to handle one of those" she answered before the Bus driver took out the Revolver from his trench coat and slowly allowed the bullets to fall on the coffee table

"Keep it, I have three more just like it...but don't go flashing it in public, you'll only get into trouble like that here, I can show you how to use that thing some other time" The Bus driver started as Yūgao nodded and made a mental note to seal the weapon into a scroll.

"Now back to what I was saying, the Headmaster has another mission for you two but unlike this last one...it's actually going to be fairly tricky to pull off, it's not urgent but expect to be called up sometime in the future. if you pull it off the pay you'll get will not even begin to compare to the one you got today and that's saying something" Nurari finished, Yūgao hummed to herself as she began to ponder what the mission exactly was going to be about

She was snapped out of her thoughts when the Bus Driver suddenly stood up

"I'll be picking up the kid on Saturday morning," the Bus Driver said, just as he left the room, Naruto walked back into the living room with a plain white t-shirt and shorts. The Uzumaki began to dry his hair off with a towel and spoke

"Sensei, can I talk to you for a second?"

"What is it?" Yūgao asked as Naruto shifted uncomfortably

"While I was showering I couldn't stop thinking about...What I did back there" Naruto started, Yūgao frowned

"This again" She grimly thought as Naruto continued

"I've seen people die ...like in the Land of Waves and the Invasion during the Chunnin exams but to actually ending someone's life...especially when he was no threat anymore, it didn't feel right, is this really the Shinobi life?" Naruto finished, Yūgao nodded

"As a Shinobi, you have to do things you don't exactly agree with, I think I'll use a story of mine as an example" Yūgao spoke, Naruto looked up at her as the Anbu woman took a deep breath

"I was only about two years younger than you, Kakashi-senpai was leading us through an Abandoned laboratory on the outskirts of Konoha...it once belonged to Orochimaru, this wasn't anything new, the Sandaime always sent us on search and destroy missions. during that mission, we found several Children that had gone missing in Konoha but they were...different. Only afterward did we find out it was because of their bodies not being able to handle a new version of the Curse mark that Orochimaru was trying to develop" Yūgao paused as she remembered that night

"We...were trying to reason with them but they were too far gone, they had basically become mindless killers, a few even lashed out at another Anbu and slightly injured him. Kakashi-senpai didn't want to take any risk and ordered us to...dispose of them, we didn't like it but we had to follow our orders" Yūgao finished, Naruto's eyes widened at this, his own Sensei had done something that?

"That's what they call the ugly side of the Shinobi life but I don't think I've ever seen the pretty side of it…" Yūgao whispered under her breath but Naruto clearly heard her, the blond suddenly stared out the living room window and he heard Yūgao speak again

"As I said back at the Factory, try not to overthink it" Naruto turned over to her with a confused look

"Tsunade-sama told you to enjoy yourself in this world, focus more on that" Yūgao spoke as Naruto smiled and nodded

"Hai, Sensei, I think I'm gonna hit the hay... thank you," Naruto said, the blond Shinobi slowly walked back to his room

The Purple-haired Anbu sat on the couch for the rest of the night, trying to watch the shows on the television screen in front of her, eventually, after an hour or so, She slowly fell asleep on the couch

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

End

That reminds me, I should point out that Humans in this world have a faint Chakra network while Monsters don't

Now before I get burned into Oblivion by flames, I'd like to say this chapter was a bit of an experiment for me (and a huge risk so please be gentle on the fire), I've never written something like this, and mixing elements from Naruto with the Modern world sneaking stuff was kind of hard and added Naruto's first kill which was giving me trouble, still, I hope I did it justice, I had to rewrite some parts like five times

feedback on how I could improve would be much appreciated, it was kind of short but I have something planned for down the road that's grander as you can see given how this Chapter is here to set something up but there won't be much of these missions I think.

Now the Ruby Chapter is next, then a laidback Chapter with the club, see ya
