Yo! Back with another chapter! I actually changed my mind about this chapter. This will involve the Edlains escaping Marley. I felt as though I rushed this arc but this story is now coming to a fast pace.
Review time:
Guest: Thank you, I still can't believe I wrote this.
Beastyd22: Thanks!
It's been around 25 days since they left Paradis Island. 25 days without seeing their friends or killing a titan. With the war that Marley was partaking in, it was the perfect chance to leave.
"A-Annie!" A voice shouted in shock.
Annie quickly shut Gabi's mouth. She looked around to see if anyone was alerted by the shout. A few moments passed, satisfied with the amount of not looking in their direction.
It was night time, the moon glowed brightly in the dark sky. They were leaving soon, very soon.
"Shh! Don't worry." Annie assured, moving her hand.
"I thought you were on a mission!" Gabi asked, still surprised by her arrival.
"Yes, but something happened that you need to know about," Annie answered.
"What is it?"
"We need to leave this place, everyone does."
"What are you talking about?" Gabi asked.
Annie let out a sigh, regretting her choice.
"Just come with me and I will tell you everything."
Naruto stopped his camouflage jutsu, making Gabi jump in shock.
"Hey! I know you!" A furious look appeared on her face.
"Shut up, let's go." He said, grabbing both of them by the shoulder, disappearing in a yellow flash.
They appeared in front of Annie's house. Watching as Gabi leaned over, throwing up her dinner.
"What the hell?!" She asked, surprised.
"Calm down," Annie said, getting a long stare from her, "Okay, how do I start this?" She said.
Annie went to explain the true origin of the Eldian. That they merely used for experiments or turning into titans. Their true goal to recapture the founding titan. Mostly everything that they were told about paradise Island was a lie. Marley sent titans to paradise island in order to wipe them out. Adding the fact that Gabi's parents were next to turn into titans if she didn't the warrior program
"No...no...no! You're lying!" Gabi shouted, shocked by this new information.
"I'm sorry Gabi, but this is true. Tomorrow night we are leaving with half of the residents of the internment zone." She declared, surprising Naruto.
'Why is she telling her this? We might have to kill her if our plan is going to get jeopardized.' Naruto thought, watching the interaction between the two females.
"Everything they told us is a lie?!" She questions herself, still not believing what Annie told her. She broke into a sprint, heading right towards the city again.
"What are we going to do about her?" Naruto asked.
Annie's eyes softened as she stared at the running figure, "I trust her."
"Is everything ready?"
"Yes, if everything goes smoothly then we should be sailing back without any trouble," Otto answered.
"Good, how many ships are parked?"
"There are four, with the number of people we should barely fit in. The only issue is how we will reach paradise island. From what I was told, titans roamed the place."
"Ah, Don't worry I have a plan for that," Naruto answered, receiving a confident nod from Otto.
(5 hours left)
Naruto watched as cargo was being placed inside the ships. They were pretty damn advanced from what he has seen. Running purely on fuel. He examined the coast, eight guards post guarded the port. Each tower had four guards, equalling 32. It was going to be quite easy as he was a god in this universe.
He would need to replace every single guard he takes down in order to not get caught.
(2 hours left)
A silent, intense atmosphere surrounded the internment zone. Only half of the residents are leaving, the rest were not told about what was going to occur. Naruto watched as guards roamed the streets, leaving no thought of committing crimes. They were very suspicious and serious as if they knew something. While the Eldians were not told about their fate, Marley knew exactly why they existed. Simple guinea pigs to further advance their technology on titans.
He was surprised that there weren't any protests from the harsh treatment from the rest of Marely. Isolated from the world, portrayed as objects. It always reminded him about how jinchuuriki lived their daily life.
'Gabi Braun.' It still triggered him that Annie casually told her about their plan. While she seemed to trust the girl, he didn't. She was bashful and loud. While he used to be like that, with war came a different mentally. If they are compariosed then he would simply blow up the damn place.
Thinking back to his broad teammate, he couldn't stop to think where he was. They fought pretty harshly with cruel injuries inflicted on the Uchilha's body. He himself didn't get injured too much, although Sasuke underestimated him. With the rinnegan, Sasuke had many options to go with. The worst thing that could happen to him? Using his friends as leverage. While he didn't want to think about such a thing, anything was possible. Sasuke would use any type of way to hurt him or simply for an advantage.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to such a thing."
(30 minutes left)
It was a dark, cold night. Naruto watched as the guards stood to watch in the tower. Watching for any intruders that found itself at the coast. A variety of yellow flashes in the towers. A single flash appeared on the beach, not a drop of blood on his body.
Lightning danced around his hand, notifying the rest of the party it was clear. With each body, he replaced them with identical clones. He waited as many people lined up, a bag in hand. One bag was allowed per person, for all ages. Four boats floated on the water, dark and unoccupied.
Some of the Eldian were actually sailors, knowing how to work a boat. With that checked, all they needed was to load their personal belongings. It took about 15 minutes in order to do such a thing. It was a silent operation without any disturbance, luckily. He received many thanks from the older populations. The children merely sent him weird looks, knowing he was the man behind this.
He was the public figure for this, but yet, Annie was the one behind it all. They brought enough food to keep everyone alive for at least a week. While many would think this is the hardest part, it wasn't. Crossing the land of Paradise. With many titans trying to feast on them. None of these people have ever killed a titan from what he knew.
'Shadow clones.' He thought. This jutsu would come in handy in many ways. Being able to henge into a horse or protect them from any harm. It was quite weird whenever he henged into an animal, but oh well.
"Sir, we are ready."
He turned around to see the captain waiting for any commands, "We leave now." He responded, getting a firm nod from the captain. Minutes later the engines turned on. He cringed slightly at how loud it was, expecting for any guards to hear it from the distance.
"I can't believe we actually did this."
Annie stood next to him, overlooking the ocean.
"Yea, this is going too 'smoothly'." He said, suspiciously looking around.
"Deal with the problem when it comes, for now, focus on the plan." She assured.
They watched as the boat got further from land. Signaling they were finally leaving for good. He was able to sense a negative emotion from Annie, 'Most likely Gabi.'
"She trusted you."
"No, if she did then I would be talking to her right now," Annie said sadly, looking down in regret.
"We left someone!"
Both of them looked at the person who said it. A shocked look on their face while pointing back at the land. Looking at where the person was pointing at, Annie's eyes slightly widened.
"There's nothing we could do now."
"What a shame."
Annie stared at the family with suitcases in hand. She looked closer, 'Wait!'
"I'm on it," Naruto said, jumping down to the water. Hearing shouts of worry.
Naruto landed swiftly, using chakra to stay afloat on the water. He looked up top to see many shocked faces.
"He's floating!"
"Why isn't he sinking?!"
He ignored these words, sprinting back towards land. It only took him a few moments, appearing in front of an amazed family.
"No questions, grab on to me." He said. They looked at him with wide eyes, stiff as a rock.
"Come on." The father figure said, gripping onto his shoulder.
Gabi looked at him in a different light. Like some sort of god among their species. Of course, he was also human, just better.
"Get ready to puke." He said, confusing the mother and father." The four of them disappeared in a yellow flash, reappearing on the boat.
The crowd was silent at this discovery of his powers. It weirded him out at the number of stares he received. Yea, he received many stares when he was a kid or defeated pain. But this was different...as if they actually acknowledged him.
He chuckled slightly at the sounds of two people throwing up their dinner. It always was quite funny whenever he teleported someone and this was their reaction. 'Hell, Kiba pissed himself when he experienced it for the first time.' He thought, mentally laughing at the memory.
Soon two men came to pick up their bags, leaving them carefree.
"How d-did you do t-that?" The woman shakily asked.
Naruto rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Uhh...We can talk about this later." He responded. The women back off, noticing his awkwardness about the topic.
"Thank you! If our daughter told us sooner then this wouldn't be a problem." The father told him, shaking his hand in gratitude.
"No problem," He said, taking a glance at Gabi.
She seemed very different from before, almost nervous. Of course, it could honestly just be him. 'To be fair, she did see someone run on the water then teleport. This is going to take a lot of explaining.' He groaned at that thought.
(One day later)
Everything went smoothly, surprisingly. Marley probably already noticed a decrease in population. Especially four missing boats with no explanation. He was told that there was a tracking device on each boat. Having 4 shadow clones grab the device then run off in different directions.
'Hopefully that keeps them that off our tail.'
"Sir, we need you in the captain's cabin!" A man said in an urgent voice, sweat falling down his forehead.
Naruto took notice of the shaky tone, hands shaking. He nodded firmly, appearing next to the captain.
"The captain jumped up by his appearance, calming himself down.
"Bad news."
"What is it?"
"There are 8 unknown objects coming our way. They are at least 20 minutes away from our locations. I can't identify them which means they aren't coming from Marley."
Naruto glared deeply at the radar. A beeping sound heard everything the scanner made a turn. True to the captain's statement, 8 circles would appear, coming closer by the second.
"Is there a way to defend ourselves?"
"No, most sailors aren't trained to handle such a thing."
Naruto's eyes glared deeply in the direction of the unknown objects. "Evacuate everyone underneath, put them in the safest part of the boat, and make sure to communicate these orders to our boats," Naruto ordered, receiving a nod.
He disappeared once again in a yellow flash.
"Well?" Annie asked.
"Nobody knows how to operate guns. Looks like it's up to me." Naruto said.
"Come on Naruto, Annie. We need to go downstairs." Finn said, pointing towards the stairs that lead down.
Naruto's expression softens at seeing Finn, "Don't worry about us eh? Take care of your father and sister for me, alright?"
A vein grew on Annie's forehead at his words.
"What about you?" Finn asked.
"Me? Ah, don't worry me. Look," Naruto said, reaching into his pouch and pulling out his father's prized kunai. "If you ever need help, don't hesitate to throw this and I will be there in less then a second." He assured, grinding slightly.
Finned lips curved upwards, producing a smile rivaling his younger's self. "Okay!" He shouted, pocketing the heavy kunai.
Naruto ruffled his head, causing him to pout at his touch. "Now, go on!" He said, standing back up.
He turned around to see Annie giving him a glare, "You too."
She walked past him, still giving him a deathly glare. Annie's figure finally disappeared from his sight, taking a look around to see nobody around. Looking up the captain cabin, getting a thumbs up from him.
He could tell the nervousness in the captain's eyes. Not fully trusting him but he was everything they had at the moment. Turning around to face the open ocean. He didn't know who was coming but they were. These people put their lives and trust into him. It would be devastating if he couldn't even protect them.
He glared glaciers at the incoming ships. two air battle planes while the rest were ships. His eyebrow rose in confusion, "I have never seen those ships." He said, looking closer.
His eyes widened at the discovery of a new flag that stood proudly on top of each boat.
"Are they from another nation?" He asked himself.
"How are we going to do this?" Kurama asked, crawling up Naruto's back, resting on his shoulder.
"They aren't from Marley, maybe we could handle this in a peaceful way?" Naruto suggested.
Naruto and Kurama watched as the weapons on the other boats moved slowly.
"What are they doing?" Kurama asked.
The weapons stopped moving until it was directed right at them. A loud bang was heard as smoke was released from the artillery. They looked up into the sky to see a fast-moving object falling down to their position.
Naruto's body became coated in yellow chakra; a sort of circular design is featured prominently over his stomach; the whisker-like markings on his face become thicker. Six magatama markings are present on or around his collar; various other dark designs appear along his body. His survey corps outfit glowed in yellow.
He crunched into a jumping position, leaving no trace of himself behind. He reappeared next to the missile, analyzing it deeply.
'I don't know how strong this is but let's find out!' A rasengan started to form in his hand.
Another explosion was heard, causing waves to erupt, shaking the boats beneath him.
"My turn!"
Two rasangen shurikens started to form in both hands. A grin plastered on his face from the excitement. He swung his arm, releasing the two jutsu forward. They hovered above each other until separating, aiming straight for both of the airplanes.
Two massive explosions happened at the same thing. Black smoke replaced the two flying machines, parts flying away and dropping into the ocean.
He was able to hear the distant shouts of his people.
'I need to end this quickly.' He thought, disappearing.
Reappearing on top of the battles ships. Seeing the horrified looks from the crewmen as they stared at his person.
"You started all of this!"
Two golden arms grew from his back, forming more rasengan shurikens. Two more explosions were heard as only four battleships remained.
Naruto heard a click from behind him, turning around to see five artillery cannons aiming at him.
Each cannon took a turn shooting, loud bangs were heard as they continued to shoot. What they didn't know was that he moved before they even started shooting. Four shadow clones popped into existence, blowing away the gunners.
With the two already rasengan-shuriken formed, he threw them towards the boats. Debris of metal flew past his face, staring at the damage he had caused. Two boats remained, he glared harshly at the captain cabin. Feeling the terrible emotions that were radiating.
"I call the last two, I haven't stretched in a while," Kurama said, crawling up to his shoulder.
He nodded, allowing him to do whatever.
A bijuu bomb started to form in front of his mouth, more energy gathering to one point. Satisfacted with what he had, Kurama shot the stored up energy.
The attack was terrifying, tearing into both boats, splitting them in half. Waves erupted in an outwards position, wind swishing against him.
"That's all of them," Naruto said.
He laughed slightly at the emotionless faces inside the captain's cabin.
"Don't speak about this to anyone." He sternly warned, leaking a little bit of killer intent.
"R-Right!"
"Keep on going, we don't want anybody to see the destruction I caused," Naruto commanded.
"Right!"
(Currently two days on sea)
They finally made it. Parking perfectly along the shore. A massive amount of wagons and horses were waiting for them. What they didn't know was that the horses were actually clones. Clones henged into horses in order to carry them to Wall Maria. Naruto in advance made 200 clones to clear any titans in their path. Having the chances of anyone dying very low.
"We made it."
"Woah!"
Finn's eyes seemed to glow, his mouth opened in awe.
"This looks so cool!"
"Uh...This is basically the same thing in Marley." Naruto said, weirded out by his behavior.
"Look at this!" Finn shouted, pointing at the grass.
Naruto had a deadpan expression at Finn's excitement, "R-Right!"
"How did you manage to get so many horses?" Annie asked.
"Information doesn't need to be known!" He said, a smirk appearing on his face.
She turned around and started to walk away, causing Naruto to chuckle.
"Well then, let's get going!"
This chapter is kinda rushed because school started two days ago. With that going my updating schedule will be longer because of it. I will now be updating every other week(twice a month). I wanted to hurry this arc so I made them go to Paradise sooner. Until later, stay safe!
