Yo! Once this chapter is uploaded I should be back home. Uploads will now be weekly from here on out. I will also be responding to any reviews.
Q: what? Sasuke can do clone now? If that, better to give naruto full mastery of all elements (maybe even including the bloodline ones) (thor94)
A: I'm pretty sure Sasuke could have always done cloned himself. Seeing as he had the sharingan while Naruto was doing the hand seals back when they were genins. Naruto does have mastery over the elements but seems to only do wind techniques. Since the tails beast shared their chakra with them then he has their bloodlines, such as lava release, boil release, and magnet release. He also has mastery over ying and yang.
Q: Awesome chapter man keep it up thanks. (Beastyd22)
A: Thank you for the feedback!
To the three 'Guest' that reviewed the story recently; Thank you!
"Speaking"
'Thinking'
He felt like shit right now. He grunted in pain because of his various injuries. 'Where am I?' He thought. He tried to open his eyes but all he saw was blurriness.
"So you're finally awake."
He looked around to see a dim light on top of a table. He saw a figure sitting down next to the table with a cup in hand.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"We are about 20 miles away from the city." The man answered.
He blinked several times to try to regain his sight. He looked at his own body to see it wrapped in many bandages. Many of the bandages were soaked with dry blood. He closed his eyes repeatedly before he was able to see far enough.
"Did we get him?" He asked.
"No, it seems like they knew we were coming. They gave false information to the new recruits but it was not true. She was able to get him but was stopped by two people." The man answered, taking a sip from his cup.
"Who?"
"Mikasa and Levi Ackerman."
He clenched his fist in anger. He wasn't able to kill him and was completely outplayed.
"You look like shit." The man commented.
"Shut up! Next time I see that idiot I will kill him!" He shouted.
"Hm, we will see about that." The man said, pushing back his round glasses into a more comfortable position.
"Why can't we attack back!" Eren shouted in frustration
"Because we know nothing about them still. You need to calm down and think first." Erwin said.
"So everyone who died out there was for nothing!? We are just simply going to wait until they come back and kill more of us? Is that what you want, to watch more of your men to die because of your choice?" Eren shouted.
"Eren calm down!" Naruto said, causing Eren to become madder.
"Shut up! You weren't there were you? You were battling out with your 'friend' and yet you can't do that!"
Naruto instantly appeared in front of Eren and held him up by his collar, "Take that back!"
"G-guys calm down," Armin said, with a scared expression.
"Go back to your home! We don't need you here!" Eren shouted.
Naruto swung his fist to aim at his Eren's face but something stopped him. He came down crashing on a table with papers flying everywhere.
"Do not touch Eren or I will kill you!"
He looked over the table to see Mikasa standing in front of Eren in a protective manner. 'Why?' He thought, looking her in the eyes. There was no emotions in her eyes and the words she spoke. Armin held a shocked expression at Mikasa.
'Why is she choosing him over me? She should know that Eren is simply overreacting and talking out in anger. So why is she siding with him?' Naruto thought as pain soon filled his eyes.
He stood back and jumped out the window before running away on the rooftops.
'Maybe I should return home.' He thought saddly
"What are you doing, Mikasa?!" Armin suddenly shouted angrily
Mikasa continued to stare until she abruptly shook her head.
"What?" She said, taking notice of the disaster in the room.
"Eren you took it too far with those words!" Armin said before running after Naruto.
"What happened?" Mikasa confusingly asked.
"Eren and Naruto got into an argument. Eren said some harsh words which caused Naruto to become angry and try to punch him. But before he could that you knocked him away, causing him to fall into the table. "Do not touch Eren or I will kill you" were your words to him." Erwin quickly explained.
"What?" She said in disbelief. She remembered Eren arguing with Erwin about defending their home. Soon after Naruto grabbed him by the collar but everything went black after that.
'What have I done?' She thought.
(With Armin)
"Naruto!" He called out.
Naruto was creating a bigger gap between them as they flew above the rooftops. His eyes widened as Naruto disappeared from his sight. 'Where did he go?' He thought worriedly.
"What happened?" A voice said from above his head.
Armin looked up to see Kurama standing on his head with a stern look.
"Eren and Naruto got into an argument. Eren was pretty angry and said harsh words to Naruto, causing him to hit him. Before he could Mikasa intervene and push back Naruto hard enough to break a table. She said "Do not touch Eren or I will kill you" to Naruto." Armin explained quickly.
"Hm, why would she do such a thing?" Kurama asked.
"I don't know! She held no emotion in her eyes. Eren was reacting to his anger but yet she took his side!" Armin answered.
"Naruto is that way." Kurama pointed slightly to his right, "I can sense any negative emotions from Naruto." He said.
With a nod, Armin instantly started to head that direction. After 15 minutes they came upon Naruto sitting down on a branch.
"Naruto!" Armin shouted, he mentally cringed at Naruto's distant eyes.
"What do you want Armin?" Naruto said in an emotionless voice.
"Don't take her words for granted. Something must be wrong with- "
"Maybe I shouldn't be here."
Armin's eyes soften up at his words.
"Naruto, please! You helped our people with many things! You helped when the colossal titan attacked us. You trained us to defend against those damn titans! You gave us a home, a place to rest our heads." He said.
Naruto's blue eyes seemed to glow slightly.
"Without you, we wouldn't be here! Who comforted us when our parents died? What will Levi think when you give hope? What will Levi's squad think of you? Something bad happened to Mikasa that forced her to act that way. Eren didn't mean those words, he was taken away by his emotions." Armin said, tears falling from his eyes.
"He's right kid, they need you more than ever," Kurama said.
"T-thank you Armin," Naruto said, standing back up
He wiped any more tears that were leaking before smiling.
"Come on Naruto, let's head back." He said, receiving a nod.
They jumped back through to the window to see the room mostly cleaned.
"Have you solved your problems?" Erwin asked.
"Sorta, where are Mikasa and Eren? Naruto asked.
"Mikasa went out looking for you and Eren just walked out." He said, causing Naruto's eyes to saddened, "Since you're here Armin, what did you wish to talk about?" He asked.
"Ah yes, I have my suspicion of who could be the female titan," Armin answered.
A silent pause continues, dropping the room a few degrees.
"Who?" Erwin asks with a stern look.
"Annie Leonhart."
What a disaster. Many things have gone downhill since the argument with Eren. After the true objective was known by the king he had requested to hand over Eren. Displeased by his request, Erwin couldn't do anything but listen to the king's words. They were currently in Stophess District with the Military Police Brigade, including Annie Leonhart. It brought him great pain that Annie could be the female titan. They were great friends, well to his thought they were.
Erwin made a plan to try to lure Annie in an underground tunnel and confront her, to which they were starting now. Naruto watched as Armin spoke with Annie. After a bit, they finally managed to convince her to sneak away. They were to bring her to the outer gates of Stophess. Many of the civilians were shushed out to prevent more deaths if she was the female titan.
"She looks way too tense," Naruto whispered to himself, noticing Annie looking around.
Soon enough they reached the tunnel to which an argument seems to break out. Naruto looked around to see the various amounts of survey corps hiding in buildings or somewhere else. Suddenly a flare was shot from within the tunnel signaling that the plan failed. Many of the disguised survey corps quickly rushed Annie to immobilize her.
Naruto's eyes widened in shock as a reflection bounced off of Annie's finger. He looked closer to a small ring around her finger with a hook on it.
'Shit!'
Smoke arose from the destroyed builders and limbless bodies were sprawn everywhere. He walked away from the spot and noticed the very same titan from outside the walls.
The female titan.
He felt betrayed, angry, and many more emotions ran through his body. He remembered back to his past with Sasuke. How he fell into the hatred of the Uchiha and took a rogue title. He smashed his fist into the chimney next to him, inverting the female titan to his direction.
They stared at each other for a few seconds until she slapped away a soldier.
'I'm sorry Naruto.' Annie thought sadly.
Many tried stopping her but came to a stop as she simply killed them. She turned around and punched a hole through the floor. There stood Armin, Mikasa, and Eren. They looked up at the titan with fear in their eyes as she tried to snatch Eren. The three of them jumped back, almost getting caught. Her attention was brought back as someone managed to slice her knee.
They ran deeper into the tunnel until they saw light at the end. A figure stood at the end but they couldn't see because of the blinding light.
"N-Naruto?" Armin asked.
"Yes it's me, come on we have to get Eren out of here." He said.
"Wait Naruto!" Eren shouted.
"We can talk about it later, for now, let's get to safety," Naruto said, causing Eren to nod.
He looked behind Eren to see Mikasa giving him a sad look. He gave her a nod notifying they would also talk after this.
They grappled onto the roof of a building. Naruto's senses went haywire causing him to turn around. A massive brick wall was heading their way mere inches from their position.
"Look out!" He shouted.
It was too late.
They crash straight into the building causing it to collapse under the sudden impact.
Naruto's ears dinged as he took most of the hit. He shook his head as a headache soon formed. Soon enough the dust resided which brought him a shock.
Eren was impaled in multiple parts of his body. Armin was looking over at him worriedly as well.
"Armin!" He shouted, "Make him transform or else he will die!" He commanded, receiving a nod.
He closed his eyes for a couple of seconds until enough senjutsu entered his body. He scanned for a moment until he located him.
'Kurama' He instantly said, rushing over to his location. He came to a rooftop to see Kurama in his human form. He ran over and checked Mikasa for any injuries.
"She's fine Naruto, I managed to grab her before that wall could hit you," Kurama reassured him, causing Naruto to relax.
Soon enough Mikasa's eyes flickered until she became conscious.
"N-Naruto?" She asked confusedly, "What happened?" She asked, looking around.
"Kurama managed to save you before you were hit," Naruto answered, pointing at the now transformed fox form.
"Thank you, Kurama." She said, rubbing behind his ears causing him to smile in satisfaction.
"Where are Armin and Eren?!" She asked worriedly.
A lightning strike came from the sky and struck behind them. There stood a muscular 15-meter titan with an angry expression. He let out a cloud of smoke from his nose before letting an ear-piercing roar.
The female titan widened her eyes at the sudden arrival of a titan. Soon Eren's titan rushed at Annie, attempting to tackle her. She sidestepped him and sent a kick towards his head.
Eren crashed through multiple houses before coming to a stop.
"We need to stop them!" Mikasa shouted.
"No." He said casually.
"What? Why not?" She asked.
"We need to let Eren release his anger." He said, causing her to remember the past argument they had.
"We will talk later okay? First, we need to watch over Eren so he doesn't do anything stupid." Naruto said.
Their attention was brought somewhere when a figure landed on the roof with them.
"Are you both okay?!" Armin asked worriedly.
"We are fine," Naruto answered.
Turning around to see Eren and Annie's titan fighting it out in the distance. They managed to bring closer to the wall then they had wanted to. They didn't evaluate any of the civilians near them hoping to capture Annie in the tunnel.
"We need to help clear the civilians before they can kill anyone else," Naruto commanded, receiving nods.
Naruto watched as Annie ducked under a punch and swept Eren's legs. Surprisingly enough she tried running away but Eren managed to catch her ankle. Her hand started to harden and the crystal formed another layer. She proceeded to repeatedly beat him in the face until he was no longer moving.
She once again started to run away, "Where is she going?" He asked himself, looking ahead of where she was running too.
'The wall! She wants to escape.' He thought.
She was heading straight to the shopping district that was filled with stands of all sorts of foods. The worst part was that it was full of people who were in danger.
Immentainlty 100 shadow clones were formed. With a goal in mind, they rushed over to help out the people. Speed was the greatest factor in clearing out the shopping district. He looked back at the female titan to hear a loud roar from Eren.
He had a missing leg and arm but chased after the female titan. What surprised them most that Eren titan literally looked like it was on fire. His skin darkens and cracks throughout his body. Fire seems to also flow through the cracks, catching a few houses on fire.
It ran through the district until it caught it up to the shocked Annie. With great strength, he managed to tackle her to the ground. He stood on top of her but she was covering her neck with both of her hands. He gripped onto her face and squeezed it until a popping sound was heard. She released a roar with pain and elbowed him into the face. He tried to punch her but ducked under it and kicked into a building. Seeing her enemies no longer able to hold her back she hardened her fingers and started to climb the wall.
Eren quickly stood up and grabbed onto Annie's foot. He pulled down with great strength but she simply kicked him in the face, taking her leg with him. Naruto looked at Annie's eyes to see the desperation to escape. Naruto readied chakra to his feet until he saw Mikasa standing above Eren's titan. He saw her stand on top of Eren's arm and swung her to Annie. She started to spin in speed until she cut off Annie's hand by the knuckles. Annie's expression turned into a terrified one as gravity worked against her. Mikasa landed on her forehead, hair flying above her.
Bang!
Instantly Eren appeared above her and struck with a punch. She tried to block him but her arm and his were blown away. With her head also no longer attached to her body she was defenseless. Eren started to lean forward with his mouth open; jaws ready.
'Crap he might eat her too!' Naruto thought.
He bites her in the neck ripping away the skin that hid Annie. As expected she was there but seemed unconscious. Suddenly blue energy blinded them and Eren from what she was doing. The wind around them has pushed away as steam developed from her location. Their skins started to form together as if they were to fuse together.
"Alright, I'm interfering now!" Naruto thought, blitzing forwards with speed.
He stopped as another figure appeared from above Eren and struck him in the neck. 'Levi?' He thought. With swift cuts, Eren's body dangled from his neck until Levi pulled him out.
Both titans started to dissolve and only skeletons stayed from their previous locations.
"Where is she?" Hange asked, landing on top of the skeletons.
"She seemed to harden herself into a crystal but she isn't here." Someone said.
"Don't worry Hange, he took it away," Erwin said, placing his hand on her shoulder in reassurance.
A yell flash lightened up the room as Naruto and Annie appeared. He took a deep breath as he gripped firmly onto the crystal. He quickly lit up the room and revealed what he brought. There stood Annie entrapped in some sort of crystal, Arms crossed over each other and a slight tear falling from her right eye.
"So it was you all along huh?" He asked, not expecting an answer. "You remind of my old self, not able to help those we were actually spies or tractors. You simply played with us to try to get Eren. That was your true goal all along!" He shouted in anger, punching the crystal. "But yet deep down you cared for us like your friends. You saved Connie and jeans, taught Eren combat advice even though knowing he was the one you were to capture, aided Marlowe and hesitated to kill Armin multiple times!" He shouted.
"If I can't save Sasuke then I will save you! I will break whatever is implanted inside your brain and bring you back!" He shouted. He fell down and rubbed his eyes out of tiredness.
And done. I'm not sure what next should be able, Naruto saving Annie or the invasion of Wall Rose. Sorry for not updating for such a long time but I'm now back home. Until later, stay safe!
