Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 29: Flashback Arc Part 2
NEXT DAY, BEFORE SUN RISE AT THE OTOMI RESIDENCE/DREAM
"This is..." Came the words of Naruto who found himself once again in Magano. Naruto just looks around, realizing he's standing atop a tall building that was tilted and abandoned like all the others in this reverse like world.
(I see...)
Hearing that voice, he turns fast to see no one at all, much to his confusion before getting serious.
"Where are you?!" Naruto demands in seriousness yet did not get a reply.
"ANSWER ME!" Naruto shouted before unleashing yellow Lightning all over his body yet in only vanished from his body. Seeing this, Naruto looks down at his body with wide eyes.
(Quirks have no place in this world. You, are completely defenseless.)
When that was said, the scene to show Naruto surrounded by Impurities of all shapes and sizes. Seeing this, Naruto's eyes were completely wide at what he was seeing and immediately he tried using his lightning yet it did not appear and instead found himself being tackled by the Impurities from all directions yet he couldn't do a single thing too stop them. All he could do was outstretched his right hand towards the sky while being buried alive yet from the sky.
"I...I don't want too go out like this..." Naruto said as he began losing consciousness the teen could see something floating down to his hand, the moment he grabbed it was the moment everything went black.
(Eheheheh, I suppose I could help you. But only a little for now.)
DREAM END
"RAGHHHHH!" Naruto yelled while sitting up in bed, sweating beads of sweat with a completely shocked look on his face yet it also was terror before he calmed down. Suddenly he heard a knock at the door, gaining his attention.
"Is everything ok?!" Hearing that, he merely looks down from hearing Mayura's voice.
"Yes, just a nightmare so go back to bed." He said, but instead of leaving the door opened a tad bit for her too peak in, meeting Naruto's gaze.
"I said I'm ok..." Hearing that, she just shuts the door without another word being said before looking at the lamp on the table in the hallway that was flickering. Worrying her due too the reason she left her room was all the lights kept turning on and off until they exploded right when she heard Naruto scream. Back inside his room, Naruto just stares down at the blankets covering his feet having been lost in thought.
"To think I would end up in this situation..." Naruto thought before noticing a light hitting his face and turns towards the window to see that the sun was rising.
"Morning, huh..." Naruto muttered to himself before he got out of bed slowly.
HOURS LATER AFTER SCHOOL
"To think I had too do this?" Naruto thought while waiting for Mayura outside her school due to Mayura's mom asking him to walk Mayura home which he couldn't disobey her since he's staying at her house as well as she was quite stubborn and had used the blackmail of him seeing her daughter leave the bathroom against him.
"Hey Naruto." Hearing that, he just looks to his right finding a somewhat confused Mayura standing there.
"Your mom asked me to walk you home, just to let you know I couldn't refuse." Hearing that, she just puffs her cheeks out while glaring at him.
"And too think I was about to invite you to lunch with me." Hearing that, Naruto didn't show any care until the sound of a stomach growling could be heard along with Naruto turning around, resulting in Mayura smiling in a smug kinda way.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER AT A RAMEN STAND
Currently a smiling Naruto sat excitedly in his seat, looking at the chef making the Ramen. He didn't even care if he sat next to Mayura who was looking at him with a smile upon her face from seeing that he was enjoying himself.
"I asked my mom, and she said this place is famous for their Ramen." She told the red-head who just realized he's a little too happy and just looks away without answering much to Mayura's annoyance before it turns to surprise when the chef placed two bowls in front of them.
"Enjoy, if you need anything just ring the bell while I'll be in the back." He told the two before walking behind the doorway that had only drapes instead of a door.
"Ahhhh, I'm hungry now, too! Time too-" Sge was silenced when she heard Naruto say "Done!" gaining her attention to find a now empty bowl of Ramen in front of the teen who was licking her lips much to her utter shock.
"S-So fast, I didn't even see him." She thought while staring at Naruto who rang the bell, gaining the chefs attention which he just walks out.
"Done already?" He asked Naruto who merely nods before speaking.
"Ten more bowls, please." Hearing that, the two were now shocked at the appetite of the guy.
"T-Ten, but sir I don't think...uh..." He was silenced when he was handed bills much to Mayura's shock and immediately she checked her pockets to find her wallet was missing and begins too glare at Naruto.
"You took my wallet!" She shouted at Naruto who merely raises an eyebrow at her.
"Hey, your treating me to lunch so no complaining since you decided to invite me, saying you will pay for everything I'm having." Hearing that, she only looks down sadly at seeing she is almost broke but that sadness turns to somewhat happiness at the look of joy on Naruto's face from delving into the delicious Ramen. Shockingly it took him only about two minutes to finish the ten bowls, Mayura could only voice her shock.
"How can you eat so fast and fit all of that in you?" She asked Naruto who looked happy while answering her question.
"It's my favorite food but when it comes to Ramen my sister loves-" He froze the moment he started too talk about his sister much to Mayura's surprise at seeing the lost look on his face and immediately she changed the subject.
"Soooo-" She was cut off by Naruto speaking, getting what she's trying too do.
"Have you asked out Rokuro yet or what?" Hearing that, she blushes madly from hearing him say that.
"W-Why would you say that?! We're just friends after all!" She disagreed while Naruto only raises an eyebrow until the lights began too flicker until they turn off completely Roth a red glow appearing in the stand surprising the two from where they sat before they left in a hurry to find a long line of glowing red earth at there feet.
"What is-" He stops their when the two see the windows reflection, that showed the chef being held by many creepy creatures with multiple glowing red eyes and razor sharp teeth. Seeing the man, Naruto's eyes only narrow yet knew no way too enter Magano except for an Exorcist due too seeing no one behind the glass.
"Mayura, run now." Hearing that, she turns to him with surprise evident on her face to see the serious Naruto facing the window.
"I'll try and figure out a way too save him while you get out of here since you'll only be in the way-" He stopped before turning fast to see she was nowhere in sight.
"Where did she go, she was here just a moment ago?!" Naruto thought with wide eyes filled with confusion.
"Your friend was taken to Magano." Hearing that, he turns fast to the one who said that and found someone about his age. He has spiked fuchsia hair and blue eyes. He wears a maroon shoal, headphones, a black shirt with a circle with a diagonal line through it, cargo shorts, and combat boots. Over his left should was a strap connected to a long bag. Seeing him, Naruto I'll entered a fighting stance but was stopped by the guy raising his right hand that held a talisman while approaching Naruto until he stood next to him.
"Stand aside. Magano gate, open!" He shouted while throwing it forwards, having it glow brightly before creating the gate.
"Leave now-" He was silenced by Naruto quickly running through the gate, annoying the guy who ran after him into the gate that disappears.
MEANWHILE IN MAGANO
"This place is..." Mayura said, finding herself in Magano. When she looked around, she found the chef nowhere in sight and a creepy smiling child with growing red eyes release a reddish miasma.
"Kegare!" Mayura shouted at seeing it increase until it disappears too reveal a large Kegare wearing a robe and a light-green kuji-kiri on its stomach while it laughed. Seeing this, she could only scream before being picked up by its tentacles that wrap around both her arms, legs, and waist. It began tightening around her while it's chest showed screaming and agonizing faces which tears began falling from her eyes.
"Help..." Was all Mayura could say, completely terrified while looking at its face that had begun too open its mouth as it brought her closer to its mouth.
"NO!" She screamed until a beam of black lightning strikes the head of the Kegare, completely destroying it while it let go off the shocked Mayura who was about too pass out but not before being caught bridal style by someone just as the Kegare exploded with an Exorcist symbol appearing.
"So...the other Quirk I hate using more then anything is the only thing that can hurt them...so cruel..." Hearing that, she just looks up at Naruto's face with her eyes widening a little at first seeing his eyes were now blood-red and the pupils being slitted. She could see the pair of yellow ridged horns that curve outwards from beneath his hair but the left one was broken. He has razor sharp teeth, and darker whisker marks then usual. What she didn't notice was his hands were now midnight-black with the hands being more beast like a monster with blood-red fur covering his wrist up to his elbow. A single blood-red fox tail was swishing back and forth with his legs being covered in blood-red fur along with looking like fox legs with the feet having night-black fur and razor sharp claws.
"N-Naruto, why do you-" She was stopped by having a finger placed on her lips.
"Are you ok?" He told her with a look of sadness on his face.
"Y-Yeah... Naruto... You came to save me?" Hearing that, Naruto's eyes narrow a little with a somewhat questionable look on his face yet he just shows her a smile.
"Well...uh..." He stops their at seeing she passed out, falling unconscious.
"Have too admit, that's a first seeing a Quirk actually do damage on one of them." Hearing that, he just turns towards the guy who opened the gate right before returning to his Human form.
"Who are you exactly, an Exorcist?" Hearing that, the guy was about too answer when he noticed one by one, Kegare were revealing themselves from the ground and buildings, surrounding them in seconds. Naruto just holds Mayura closely while the guy takes out a sword from his baggage.
"Get away from me." Hearing that, he just looks at the guy before nodding and disappears by Lightning, leaving the guy surrounded by the Kegare. The guy simply takes out a single talisman with his left hand before he spoke in a serious tone.
"Guardian Master Talisman!" He said before tossing it in front of him, transforming into a blue light that he pierces with his sword that had begun too change as it comes out from the other side. Appearing as a giant red and yellow sword that was stabbed into the earth with blue electricity sparking from it.
"Vermilion Wing, cone forth at once!" While he spoke, all the Kegare surrounding him charge forward but before they could get near the large blade began too unleash a powerful eruption of flames that engulf all around it, destroying them with their bodies exercising until there was nothing left but a large crater with the only one standing was the guy on a small piece of land. Naruto was just surprised from seeing the display of power, watching him return his now normal sword back into the bag before zipping it up and jumping high in the air, landing in front of the surprised Naruto.
"Who are you?" He asked the him yet received a reply yet not an answer he wanted.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you too give your name before demanding someone else's? I don't give my name to those with no sense of manners." Hearing this, he felt Gear annoyance.
"Well, don't have too be a dick about it, baka." Hearing that word of disrespect, his eyes only narrow from not the disrespect but that fact he just Exorcised a Kegare with a Quirk.
"My name is Shimon Ikaruga, now what is yours?" Hearing the sudden change of mind, Naruto merely gives him a expressionless stare with sweat falling from the side of his face.
"Naruto Uzumaki." He answered the now named Shimon who just stares at Naruto.
"For an Exorcist, I felt more power from you then the others two." Hearing that, Shimon only spoke after presuming the answer.
"Rokuro Enmado and Benio Adashino." Hearing that, Naruto's eyes only widen in surprise at how he knew that but without another word he heard a creepy laugh which was in fact Shimon's creepy ass ringtone.
"Yes, hello?" Shimon said, reviving a reply not even a second later.
[Hi, Shimon-kun! It's me, Arima! Did you meet up with Rokuro-kun yet?]
"Sorry, something came up." He said back into the phone.
[Really? Anyways, could you return back to Kyoto right away?]
"My investigation in Narukami has just began. Including I wanted too ask someone a few questions-" Ge was cut off by Arima.
[Theres an emergency! That's an order from your Chief Exorcist, by the way.]
When Naruto heard that, his eyes only widen in shock.
"U-" Shimon couldn't even finish due too Naruto taking the phone out of his hands.
"Sorry but I need too ask you a couple of questions!" Naruto said, having moved at in an instant, grabbing Shimon's phone right out of his hand.
[Oh, who might you be?]
"Naruto Uzumaki." Just after saying that, there was only silence before getting an answer.
[Oh...]
Just after hearing that, Arima hung up much to his surprise and confusion by what he said and did but couldn't ponder on it due too having the phone taken out of his hands by Shimon who already threw his talisman forwards too create the gate.
"Wait!" Naruto shouted as he followed after Shimon through the gate, finding themselves back in the area they were just at. Shimon just looks at Naruto with a side glance before saying what was on his mind.
"I don't know what kind of Quirk you possess that could do something like that but next time we meet you will be answering some of my questions as well as I suggest you get the girl home." Was all he said before turning her back to Naruto who just stares at him walking away.
HOURS LATER BACK IN KYOTO DURING SUNRISE, WITHIN ARIMA'S OFFICE
"Shimon-kun, take a look at this." Came the words of a tall man who wears glasses, having long white colored hair with blue ends. His eyes seem to be amber coloured while sporting a grinning expression. He wore traditional robes of an Onmyōji.
"The usually innocent idol, Sayaka-chan, has finally, finally, finally released a swimsuit photo book!" Arima told Shimon who was staring at the gleeful man holding a swimsuit magazine.
"Are you telling me... this is your "emergency"?" He questions the usual happy leader.
"You bet! I mean, this is huge, isn't it?! I felt like I needed to let you know as quickly as possible!" Arima told Shimon while flipping through the magazine pervertedly.
"Come! Let's look at it toge-" His proposal was immediately shot down by Shimon much to the sadness of Arima.
"Really? Anyways, about the Uzumaki boy...leave him alone." When Shimon heard that, he was very confused.
"What are you talking about, I came here too discus with you about the Quirk he displayed. I don't know exactly what he did but from the looks he possess two Quirks and together he exorcised a Kegare." Hearing that, Arima's eyes narrowed a little from hearing that yet he continues smiling.
"I see...a Quirk has no effect on a Kegare meaning what he displayed wasn't that of a Quirk but something else..." When he heard that, Shimon was very confused by his words.
"What about his name?" Shimon questions Arima who merely smiles more.
"Uzumaki...ehehehe...basically there was only one man I recall reading about in the history books that had Uzumaki in his name. He was the only man every too become the Head of the Exorcist Union by the age of 16..." When he said that, Shimon's eyes slowly widen as he continued.
"That's right, if he bares that name then it's a possibility he's a descendant of Minato Uzumaki Namikaze." Arima told the wide eyed Shimon.
BACK IN NARUKAMI, MORNING TIME IN MAYURA'S ROOM
"W-Wha..." Mayura said with her eyes opening up slowly to find herself staring at the ceiling of her room before they widen at realizing she's in her room and sat up quickly now remembering what happened last night. She looks down to see she was wearing the same clothes as well as having been tucked in bed.
"Why am I-" She stops there after thinking about Naruto and quickly she dashes for the door, opening it fast before running right out of her room where she heard a voice.
"Damn, there's nothing on today." Hearing the voice, she quickly made her way down the hall until she found herself standing in the living room where Naruto sat. He just looks back over his right shoulder to find a wide eyed Mayura.
"So your awake-" He was silenced by Mayura who suddenly jumped over the couch so she could tackle Naruto off of it much to his surprise at finding himself on the floor.
"Why did you-" He stood from hearing sobbing.
"I'm so glad! After I remembered what happened I was so worried you weren't ok!" Hearing that, his eyes widen a little.
"You don't need too worry about me." Naruto told the girl who disagreed.
"Of course I do!" She shouted while hugging him closely as she cried. Hearing and seeing this, he merely just sighs at finding himself in an uncomfortable possession, one being she was on top of him and the other being her "assets" were pushing against Naruto's chest.
"Thank you..." When he heard that, he blinks in surprise while she continued.
"Thank you for saving me...I was so scared!" Hearing that, Naruto couldn't help but feel happiness along with his arms wrapping around Mayura's waist while she cried.
