Chapter 3
It has been a long, long week for Naruto and the girls.
They had nothing to do while they wait for the week to end, so they entertained themselves by flying around in the air in the forest of death or above the village.
Right now Naruto was in the Hokage tower about to get a mission for him and the girls.
"So, do you have any mission for me, Hokage-sama?" Naruto asked, showing professionalism in this situation.
"Yes, I do, Naruto." Hiruzen said as he picked up a scroll and tossed to Naruto, who caught it and opened it to read.
"Your mission is to go and investigate a village not far from here that's been said to have been taken over by bandits and maybe, this was just a rumor until we need to confirm it, a nuke-nin. If the village is being controlled by bandits and a nuke-nin, take them out and liberate the village. Use extreme caution around the nuke-nin if there is one." Hiruzen said with a serious voice.
"Alright, Hokage-sama." Naruto said as he nodded and started heading to the door while speaking.
"We'll be back in a while." Naruto said as he opened the door to leave, but was stopped by Hiruzen's voice.
"And Naruto, be careful." Hiruzen said with a grandfatherly smile, Naruto returned the smile before he stepped out and closed the door and walked to the front of the building to meet up with the girls.
As soon as he walked out the doors he saw Jehuty floating off to the side to his left while Anubis did the same to his right, but with her arms crossed.
Dolores was flying around, giggling as she did tricks that made the spectators that were watching wonder how she was able to do them since they looked like only an extremely flexible person is able to do them with ease.
"Alright come on you three, we got a mission!" Naruto said loudly, getting the attention of all three frames, Jehuty flew toward Naruto at a fast speed, Naruto simply added Metatron to his legs and jumped straight up, causing a small cloud of dirt where he was standing.
He maneuvered himself to where he would land in the open cockpit as Jehuty flew toward him. Naruto landed in the seat with his hands already on the controls and the canopy forming above him, then all three frames took off toward the gate.
As they were heading to the gate to head out, Naruto saw an Anbu heading in the same direction a little bit ahead of them.
"Jiji probably sent them to tell the guards at the gate that were going on a mission." Naruto thought to himself as he got back to what he was about to do.
"Alright girls, listen up," Naruto said as he saw three communication windows open to both the sides and middle of the view in front of him, showing the avatars the frames decided to make for themselves if they were human.
The one on the right was a young beautiful woman the age of 20, with straight black hair that has red streaks going through it reaching to below the screen since they only allow from the collarbone up to be seen of a person.
Her eyes were a blazing red-orange, looking like embers that are still ready to start a fire or magma ready to melt you with a simple glare.
Naruto could see that she was wearing what looked like a black armor that he can see on her orbital frame body, except the floating wings were attached to her back when not in use and she didn't have her Frame head to be like a helmet like his right now.
The screen in the middle showed another beautiful woman the same age as the woman on the right, she had medium dark aqua color hair that goes out of the screen with light aqua streaks through it, her eyes are the aqua as the streaks in her hair and if you look at them for too long you will feel like your in the ocean by a calm reef.
She was wearing armor like the woman on the right, but her's was the same as her Orbital Frame body, just without the head acting as a helmet.
The screen on the left shows another beautiful woman the same age as the other two with royal purple color hair that goes out the screen with lime green streaks going through it along with having orange eyes that hold many positive emotions along with being energetic.
She was wearing armor like the other two, but of her own Orbital Frame without the head.
"We're going to a village that's nearby to liberate it of bandits and maybe, this is just a rumor until it is confirmed, a nuke-nin. So we need to be careful and cautious if there is a nuke-nin, alright." Naruto said as he looked at the three women on the screens.
"Got it." the woman on the right, Anubis, said with a nod and a small grin.
"Affirmative." the woman in the middle, Jehuty, said with a professional voice and a straight face, but you can see the eagerness in her eyes of wanting to go out and do some missions instead of being cramped in the same area all the time.
"Alright, let's do it!" the woman on the left, Dolores, said eagerly with a big grin that could match Naruto's.
Naruto nodded before he steered Jehuty in the direction they need to go before they flew over the gate, seeing the two chunin and the Anbu Naruto saw earlier waving up at them, making them return the gesture before the group took off at high speed to their destination since it will be about ten minutes flying at high speed just above the trees till they arrive.
Naruto thought back earlier in the previous years about what happened to Ada and Jehuty for a week while they were waiting for Naruto's, and by hiding in plain sight, the orbital frames first day in the academy, Jehuty wouldn't move or respond while she was in her harness, Ada wouldn't respond either, making Naruto, Anubis, and Dolores worry that something was seriously wrong.
After the week was up, did Jehuty move and respond, they found out what happened to the both her and Ada.
It turned out that Ada and Jehuty were the same now. When Naruto asked for her to specify what she meant, Ada explained that she was the AI for the frame Jehuty, she then noticed how lost Naruto was in her explanation so she simplified it in a way that she knew that he would understand at that time.
She was a master puppeteer like the puppet masters in Suna, but her puppet was Jehuty since it was a normal orbital frame with no AI inside it like Anubis or Dolores, so Ada uploaded herself completely into Jehuty, essentially making her Jehuty.
Naruto snapped out of it when he saw a village coming into view, he also noticed that they slowed down so they don't get spotted.
"You have spaced out the entire trip." Jehuty informed Naruto as they lowered to the ground out of sight of the village and saw that the bandits were few in number.
"How the fuck did they take over a village with so few of them?" Naruto said with a twitching eyebrow as he saw the group of bandits was walking through a street like they owned the place with the villagers making a wide berth to stay away from them.
Naruto then moved zoomed in on the village square to see a person dressed in chunin clothes with a slashed Konoha headband around his left bicep.
"Found the nuke-nin, but he looks like he really isn't one, someone that just took clothes of a chunin and acting like he is a chunin when he's probably a civilian or something." Naruto said as he watched the nuke-nin yell at the people in the square, but what Naruto saw was that the nin was ordering them around but wasn't using any jutsu to enforce his point or anything that would signify that he was a real ninja.
"This should be easy, might be able to get this done in a few minutes at best if what I'm thinking is right." Naruto said as he jumped out of Jehuty's cockpit and landed on the ground before he started heading into the village after telling the frames they can take out the bandits while he went after the nuke-nin.
Soon Naruto was walking down the road to the square and saw the nin still yelling orders at the civilians.
"HEY!" Naruto yelled, getting the nin's attention and the civilians as well.
"How about you pick on someone your own size." Naruto said, getting a cocky and arrogant grin from the nin.
"Why don't you run off kid before I use my exploding kunai on you." He said with a dismissal wave of his hand.
"Well then, why don't you?" Naruto taunted, trying to get a reaction out of him.
"If he throws it like a chunin and at chunin level speed along with how to throw it like one then I'm facing a real chunin, if not then he is an imposter." Naruto thought to himself as he watched the nuke-nin carefully without giving anything away.
His thoughts were confirmed when he saw the nin grab a kunai from a pouch on his leg, fumbling with it for a few seconds and throwing it in a sloppy way, which Naruto stepped to the side and caught the kunai and looked at it.
It did have an exploding seal on it, but it would have exploded the moment Naruto caught it and as he looked at the seal he saw it was a fake seal, just normal ink on a normal piece of paper that civilians use.
Naruto's mind moved at extremely high speed while looking at the kunai, thanks to the Metatron flowing in his body and was able to analyze the kunai in a second.
He looked up and saw the imposter had a pale and nervous face.
With a grin, Naruto spoke as he twirled the kunai around his finger with the ring.
"Was that really the best you got? Cause a real ninja wouldn't fumble with a kunai like you just did if they were in your position, along with the way you handled it and thrown it. Plus the 'exploding seal'," Naruto said with sarcasm before he continued.
"Was a complete fake, its normal ink, and paper that civilians use." Naruto finished with a grin as he saw the looks on the imposter's and civilians faces being fear and anger respectively.
Naruto just stood there with his arms crossed as he watched the civilians beat up the imposter with a vengeance.
TIME SKIP
"That was disappointing." Anubis said as they flew back to Konoha with the bandits and imposters in trapped inside a large crate, so they didn't see the orbital frames.
The group wasn't taking any chances with the prisoners since some might be let off or somehow escape thanks to some of the stupid civilians on the civilian counsel thinking that they could get spy's of there own when said 'spy' would just run out of the fire country and stay out while spreading what they know to anyone that pays them, letting secrets that should stay as secrets out.
"Here you go, we'll let you guys handle it from here." Naruto said as Anubis dropped the crate from a few feet above the ground, making the occupants inside groan and complain and getting a few raised eyebrows from the two gate chunin and Anbu.
Naruto and the frames took off to the Hokage tower to report their mission.
The Hokage was doing paperwork before he heard tapping on his window, he turned and nearly jumped out of his seat when he saw all three orbital frames looking in with Naruto crouching on the ledge.
He opened the window, letting Naruto in and kept the window open for the frames to listen and talk as well.
"That was fast, I thought you would be gone until around sundown." Hiruzen said as he lit his pipe and took a few puffs as Naruto stood in front of the desk before he spoke.
"Yea, but it turned out the nuke-nin was an imposter wearing chunin clothes with a small group of bandits, there being taken care of right now by some Anbu that were at the gate along with the gate guards." Naruto said before he added something.
"And we would have been back sooner if the bandits didn't split up and we had to round them up one by one." Naruto said with a grumble, getting a chuckle from Hiruzen, Anubis, and Jehuty while getting a quiet giggle from Dolores.
"Well, that is a mission well done. Here you go, Naruto." Hiruzen said as he put a stamp on the mission scroll and handed him the missions pay.
"Thanks old man." Naruto said as he pocketed the money and walked back to the window.
When he was about to jump off the sill and into the cockpit of Anubis, he heard Hiruzen grumble about 'blasted paperwork'.
"Should I tell him how to beat it?" Naruto thought to himself before shaking his head.
"Nah, he'll figure it out." Naruto thought before he jumped into the cockpit and the group flew through the air to the Hokage monument to relax until they were called in again.
An hour or two passed as the group was on the Hokage monument, on the Fourths head, relaxing.
Jehuty saw an Anbu coming up to them in haste.
"Anbu incoming." Jehuty said as the others got up to see the Anbu stop in front of them before he spoke.
"The Hokage requests your presence in his office." the Anbu said before he used shunshin to get back to his post.
"Well, you heard him, let's go." Naruto said as he stood up by the edge and turned and fell down as he spun while going head first to the ground, the frames doing the same.
Naruto's back and legs lit up as Metatron flowed through his body and created the thrusters Jehuty has, then his helmet activated and closed with the eyes on the crest activating and the visor having two glowing eyes appear.
Naruto leveled out over the rooftops and took off at high speed to the tower with the frames flying with him.
Soon they were at the tower and Naruto entered through the window to see Hiruzen reading a scroll with a worried look on his face.
The Hokage turned when he heard Naruto come in and spoke as Naruto walked to stand in front of the desk.
"Naruto, I know this is early but you're going on another mission." Hiruzen said with seriousness in his voice, making Naruto stand up straighter.
"What do you need me to do?" Naruto asked with seriousness and curiosity in his voice as he watches the Hokage put the scroll down and looked up at him.
"You're going to Wave country to be back up for Kakashi's team, Team 7 as they have run into more opposition than the client has told us," Hiruzen said before he added something else.
"That along with you and the three behind me," he gestured to the three frames outside the window.
"Will be able to get there much faster since we have received this letter just a few minutes ago before you arrived and you will be able to leave on a shorter time span than some of the other shinobi." Hiruzen said as Naruto thought about it before he nodded.
"We'll leave right away, Hokage-sama." Naruto said as he prepared to jump out the window before he heard the Hokage speak as he got on the window sill.
"Don't worry about telling the gate guards about your mission, I already have an Anbu there telling them that your heading again." Hiruzen said as he watched Naruto nod before he jumped out and landed in the cockpit of Dolores and all three frames took off through the air toward Wave as fast as they can go while above the village before they took off full speed when they left the walls, all three creating a sonic boom as they vanished from sight extremely quickly.
Hiruzen watched as the three frames before they took off, how particles of energy floated around there thrusters before they vanished with three extremely loud booms echoed as they sped off.
He was cut off from his thoughts when he heard the door open and turned his chair around to see his secretary was looking in.
"Hokage-sama, you have a visitor." She said with a surprised look, Hiruzen raised an eyebrow before he gestured to her.
"Let them in then." He said as picked up his pipe and put some tobacco in it as he saw the visitor walk in.
Hiruzen saw that the visitor was a Jonin, but not one of his.
He saw that the man was wearing black shinobi pants and shirt with samurai armor on his torso, shins, and forearms with a sword on the left side of his waist, but what got Hiruzen's attention was his hair color and, even more so, the headband the Jonin wore.
Short red hair along with a headband that had a whirlpool insignia, the clan symbol of the Uzumaki clan.
"B-b-but how?" Hiruzen stuttered in shock as he dropped his unlit pipe as he stared at the Jonin. The Jonin spoke with slight amusement in his voice at how the Hokage was acting.
"I have a message from the Uzukage."
