Wall Rose, Military Training Camp
Mikasa's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she lazily got up from the bed, looking around wondering what time it was. But then a moment later everything came flooding back into her head. The Shinobi, Chakra, Naruto and Shion. Wait Naruto! Today was their first day of training! She threw the blankets off and got out of bed. As soon as she did this, Mikasa was met by muffled yelling on the other side of the door, "What the?" She asked aloud, going to the door and heading outside.
Mikasa walked down the hallway slowly, following the sound of the yelling. For some reason she felt a small headache coming on. When she walked into the room, her eyes slightly widen at the sight.
"This is bullshit!" A tall brown haired boy shouted out, as he grabbed Naruto's collar, "I was supposed to join the military police and live the easy life! Not join some special training regiment!"
"Will you pipe down? I'm trying to talk here." Shion shouted out from the couch, as she was sitting by a girl with long black hair.
Another boy grabbed the brown haired boys shoulder, trying to settle him down, "Come on calm down Jean. I'm sure we can work something out with him."
The boy now known as Jean shook his hand off, and turned to him with anger, "No. This isn't fair Marco."
Naruto took a deep breath and gripped Jeans hand tightly, "Ow!" The boy called out. Naruto narrowed his eyes at him, "If you don't like it you can always leave. Door's over there. But if you want to stay and make a true difference in the world, then how about you get your hands off your instructor, before you find yourself hurt." The blonde said, looking straight into younger man's eyes.
Jean quicker backed off and let go of Naruto's jacket. He grumbled about something before walking to the living room and sitting in on one of the couches.
Naruto simply sighed and turned away only to be met with Mikasa, who was staring at him through the doorway, "Oh Mikasa you're awake." He said, smiling at her. The girl in turn gave him a light smile back, as she walked into the room. Shion quickly noticed the black haired girl and got up from her seat next to a girl she had come to know as Mina, "Good morning Mikasa." She said, standing by Naruto with an equally big smile as Naruto. Mikasa nodded, to the her.
The Uzumaki again sighed, "Well I'm about to tell everyone their purpose for being here and what they've been selected to do so why don't you go over to the living room."
Mikasa nodded and took a seat on one of the couches, next to Connie, and Krista. Naruto began to move to the center of room, as Shion stood right by him. They waited for everyone to get seated. While this was going on, he was also thinking about how he was going to introduce them into all of this. Then finally it hit him, and he took a kunai out of his bag, "Now everyone let's began. I'll say something about myself and then I'll pass the kunai to someone else then they say something about themselves." He started, holding the kunai in his right hand, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I'll be your instructor for the next two years in the way of the Shinobi." Naruto said, with a smirk.
The Uzumaki then handed the kunai over to Shion with a small smile, "Alright Shion. It's your turn. Say your name and something about yourself."
Shion smiled, "I know what I have to do Naruto. I'm not an idiot." She giggled, grasping the ninja weapon in her hand, "Well I'm Shion, one of your instructors. I'm also a Priestess from the land of Demons." As soon as she said this, almost everyone gave her a half cocked looked. Shion sighed, as soon as she saw their expression. They had no idea what her position was or where the Land Of Demon was. Naruto patted her on the back and motioned for her to give the kunai to the next person.
The Priestess slowly complained and handed the kunai to a boy sitting on the couch. He had jet black hair and freckles all over his face, "Oh! Um well my names Marco Bott and I would wish to serve our King one day in the Military police." Marco said, straightening himself on the couch. In turn the blonde nodded to him, then motioned for him to give the kunai to someone else.
Marco handed the kunai over to the brown haired boy named Jean. Naruto felt a headache coming on for some reason, "Well I'm Jean Kirstein and I wanted to join the military police but it looks like that's no longer going to be possible now." He said, closing his eyes and leaning against the couch. For some reason, Naruto saw a spitting image of Kiba. This was not going to be a fun time.
Jean then carelessly tossed the kunai to a girl named Mina. Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose while, Shion rubbed his back, 'Yep this is going to be long day.' He thought to himself, watching Mina fumble with the kunai, trying not to drop it.
Mikasa sat in silence, as the kunai was being passed around from person to person. But she was also deep in thought about last night, 'So from what Naruto said I have a affinity of wind and he's going to teach me something called Sage mode.' Mikasa thought to herself.
As she was thinking to herself, the kunai was passed to Connie, and he started yelling out something, but the Ackerman simple ignored him. She was too busy recalling all the memories of last night that came flooding back into her mind. She thought about her conversation with Shion. The entire talk with her about Naruto. She could that this Priestess deeply cared about him, maybe even loved him. And who could blame her? Naruto seemed like the kind of person you'd want to be around as well. He seemed to radiate with light. Suddenly her stomach felt weird, and a small blush appeared on her face. But then out of nowhere she felt a cold piece of metal rest upon her lap, the Ackerman looked down and saw the kunai sitting there. She looked back up, and noticed everyone starring at her. The blush only increased on her face.
"My…..My name is Mikasa Ackerman, and I want to protect everyone important to me." She said, looking down and tossing the kunai to Armin…wait Armin? 'He was here too?' She thought to herself.
"Well hi everyone I'm Armin Arlert, I like to read, and find out more about the world outside of the walls." He said with a small smile looking up to Naruto, who in turn nodded to him. The Uzumaki, and Shion then walked to the center of the room and looked at all of their trainees, "Ok So lets see if I can remember your names. You're Jean, Marco, Mina, Sasha, Krista, Connie, Mikasa, and Armin." Naruto said, pointing to each of them. They all in turn nodded back.
"Well it's nice to meet all of you." Naruto said with a smile. Shion smiled as well. All the kids looked very promising. Both Shion and Naruto knew they would make fine Shinobi. The Priestess hoped she'd make a fine one as well.
"Now then I would like to give all of you the full story… the true story of who we really am and what you're going to become. So please get comfortable, and let's begin." Naruto said, sitting on one of the far couches with Shion. They knew it was about to turn into a wild ride.
"And now we're here." Naruto said, finishing his story. He proceeded to look around at everyone in the room with a awkward smile. They all had shocked expression and some of their jaws hanged open in shock. But surprisingly Jean was the first to come forward, "You honestly expect us to believe you? You're saying that you're from another reality or whatever? And supposedly we have powers that can let us kill titans with just our fingers?" He asked, crossing his arms with a confident smirk. Thinking he had gotten the blonde.
The blonde simply nodded, "Yes incessantly, but it'll require alot of training." He explained to the group, "Now it won't be easy, the things you'll have to do will be quite insane even by Shinobi standards. But you'll all make it. I know you can." He added.
Jean clenched his teeth, "That's a load of crap! Humanity has gotten the living shit beaten out of them since as far as we remember!" He shouted out, standing up. Some of the other trainees faces filled with concern, at Jeans comment. "Families ripped apart! Loved ones lost! Do you even know what that feels-" Jean was suddenly cut off, as Naruto gripped his shoulder tightly, "Hey. I can promise you right here and right now that will never happen again. Humanity will never lose a wall again, and we will take back Wall Maria!" Naruto shouted out, shocking the trainees even more, "I've faced these titans things already. They aren't as tough as you make them out to be." He added.
Jean stood there for a moment baffled at the blondes words, but then he narrowed his eyes and pushed the blondes hand away, "Tch. Whatever." The young man said, walking back over to his seat on the couch.
Seeing that the blonde was all fired up, Shion decided to take over, "Now that, that's over does anyone have anymore questions?" She looked around at all of the recruits. Marco almost immediately raised his hand, "Um yes what does this mean for our career in the military?" He asked. Everyone perked up at his question. That was certainly something that was going to have to be considered now.
Shion simply motioned over to Naruto, who gladly took over, "I haven't gotten full confirmation from Commander Erwin yet, but from what I heard there is to be a new branch created. Simply called the Shinobi. Don't know anything else about right now. Do all of you understand?" He asked, looking around at all of them. They all nodded back to him in confirmation and in turn the blonde smirked, "Alright then. Everyone put your boots on and follow us." He said, moving towards the door with Shion following him.
All the kids sighed slightly. Except for Mikasa, Armin and Krista. They were already at the door ready. As for the rest of them, they took their sweet the getting ready for their first day of training. Eventually everyone met Naruto at the door. The Uzumaki's eyebrow twitched, seeing how lazy they were acting, but then he chuckled slightly as he moved them out of the door. Most of them reminded him of his old self with how lazy they just acted.
But the group came to a stop as soon as they were in the grassy opening infront of their cabin. "Yo what gives?" Connie asked, standing at the back of the group. Naruto turned around with an evil grin on his face, "All of you have 10 minutes to get down the mountain and too the obstacle course. If any of you are late, then every single one of you will do it over again!" He shouted out.
Most of their faces filled with complete horror, as they turned towards in the direction of the regular training camp. They could barely see it all the way down at the base, "Y-You want us to run all the way down there in 10 minutes?" Connie asked, with a stutter.
The blonde nodded, "Well 8 minutes now. You're time started about 2 minutes ago." He said with an evil grin. Shion simply sighed at this. But the recruits….the recruits reaction was completely different. They were of complete horror. Everyone besides Mikasa, who had already taken off down the trail, not even paying attention to anyone. She just knew she needed to be the best she possibly could, for everyone she cared about.
Back at the cabin all the other trainees watched, as Mikasa sprinted away. But then to their surprise Krista took off after Mikasa in a full sprint, "Come on guys!" She shouted, looking back. "Everyone has to make it!" The small girl added, before disappearing into the woods. Then Jean began to speak up, "WHAT! Why the hell didn't you say anything?" He frantically asked, looking back at the older blonde who was now tapping his foot in impatience. "Meh." He said shrugging his shoulders carelessly. That's when everyone realised that this man was not playing around. He was serious about their training.
"Everyone run!" Jean shouted, pushing an oblivious Connie down as he made his way down the mountain. Everyone else soon followed the young man, Connie being the last one. Eventually they all disappeared into the tree's, heading towards the main camp.
Naruto simply stood there with a smirk on his face, watching them go, "Atleast they're willing to put in the effort." He said aloud, as sunlight suddenly blinded his face from the rising star in the distance. He quickly shielded his eyes from the light and turned around only to be met with a staring Shion. Who had a smirk on her face, "Naruto. That was kinda evil of you." She said slyly.
The Uzumaki laughed nervously, "Yeah. I guess Kakashi Sensei is rubbing off on me a little to much. When it comes to training. Although I really don't feel like being late all the time." He laughed, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. Shion giggled at this and stared out towards the sunrise, just as a light breeze came by. Naruto couldn't help but stare at her, but then that stare soon turned into a blush. The way the sun shined against her pale skin, along with the light breeze it made her seem almost in a holy like state. But who was the blonde kidding. She was a Priestess after all.
"He'd be so proud." Shion said, staring out towards the mountains that the sun was trying to peak over now. Naruto stepped closer to her and turned his head to the sun as well, "I hope they're alright." Shion added, reaching her hand down and with great nervousness grasps his arm. To her surprise Naruto didn't jerk away like she thought he would, 'It's a start.' She thought to herself looking up at him, as he stared off into the sunrise. She took in all of his facial features. His bright ocean blue eyes, sun-kissed skin, and his whisker marks. Everything about him seemed so unique and interesting. Especially his bright blonde hair. Even though she liked it when it was long, she had to admit he looked good with short hair as well.
Naruto chuckled at her comment, "I'm sure they will be. Sasuke is still over there. He'll protect that world. Atleast until we get back." He said, with a smirk. But Shion could feel him clenching his fist. He was worried. Probably beyond worried in fact, "And if he doesn't I'll pound his face in." The Uzumaki added, as he laugh, calming down as he released his fist from the clench. Still Shion looked up at him with a great care of concern. She didn't want him stressed out. Especially in the situation they were in. She needed to find a way to help him calm down.
"Now then. Come on. We need to beat them all down there." He said, turning away from her and towards the path leading down to the training camps. Shion though wasn't paying attention. She was thinking of ideas to help him out, 'What can I do. What can I do. Wait! I know! I can-' But the thought in her head was cut short as she was lifted up in the air by the blonde, "Wah! Naruto wait!" She shouted out in protest.
The Uzumaki quickly laughed as he helped situate her on his back. Just like old times, "No time! Haha!" He shouted out, taking off full speed down the trail towards their trainees. Shion quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into his shoulder. She wondered why she even protested, this was the best thing that's happened all day.
Further down the trail, Mikasa rushed through the woods at top speed. None of the other trainees had even got close to her yet. She smirked slightly, even though she wasn't the competitive type, it still felt kinda good to be in first. Maybe she'd impress Naruto. But as she ran further and further into the woods, she heard someone quickly come up behind her. The Ackerman turned her head slightly too see who it was, "Hey Mikasa." Krista said, speeding up to her with a smile.
"Oh hey Krista." Mikasa said between breaths as they began to run in unison through the forest. It was clear that they were the furthest one's ahead. That made her slightly happy, "We're almost there right?" Krista asked, beginning to pant now, they had been running dead sprint for quite sometime so that was expected. Even Mikasa was getting tired, "Y-Yeah. We should be."
The two continued to sprint in silence for a few more minutes until Krista suddenly began to speed up and pass Mikasa, "Sorry Mikasa! I'm going to win this thing! I might put up a kind and caring front, but I do love to win!" She shouted out, moving her legs as fast as they could take her. But then Krista gave a slight smirk, as she turned back to Mikasa, "Maybe Naruto will praise me for it."
The Ackerman suddenly began to speed up and catch up to Krista, "I'm not gonna lose!" She shouted out, her competitive spirit and Krista's taunting getting the better of her.
The two were neck in neck, as they cleared the treeline and had a clear view of the main training camp, "H-Hey!" Krista stuttered out in protest, as they bumped into each other trying to get to the camp. Mikasa remained silent, as they neared the first area of buildings. Some of the normal trainees from the main class were sitting out at one of the buildings. All of them widen their eyes as they saw the two girls sprint past them, "Look! We're almost there!" The small blonde shouted out, turning the corner of one of the buildings and nearing the now busy training obstacle course.
Mikasa's eyes narrowed as she pushed all her energy to her feet, determined not to lose. Suddenly she felt a strange feeling all over her body, 'W-What's going on?' She asked herself in her head. But then a moment later her speed increased 10-fold and she shot past Krista. The Ackerman didn't know how, but she was going to win! She couldn't believe-
"Incoming!" A voice shouted from behind her.
Mikasa turned her head just in time to see Naruto shoot past her like a bullet with Shion on his back. "Naruto?" She asked aloud as she slowed down running into the training course and stopping right in front of a smirking Naruto. Soon after Krista caught up to Mikasa panting, "N-No fair." She huffed out, bending down to her knees.
Naruto just smirked as he let Shion climb off of his back, "You both did very well. I knew you two would excel at this." He finally said, walking up to them with Shion in toe,
"Thank you." Krista said with a polite smile and a bow, as some of the regular trainees looked over from the obstacle course. A smaller girl with tied back blonde hair and ice blue eyes took particular interest in the group. She hid behind one of the climbing walls and stared at them. Specifically their blonde instructor, who seemed to be beaming with excitement. "Interesting." She said to herself, but this girl wasn't the only one spying on the group. Eren Yeager was also staring at them from the other side of the course, brooding, "Dammit. What are they even doing?" He asked aloud, staring at his adopted sister Mikasa, "Why is it always her." He added, clenching his fist as he turned away from the group to go back to training. 'I'll find a way into that training. I know I will.' The boy thought to himself.
Mikasa felt a shiver go down her back, as she stood with the group. Turning her head slightly the Ackerman scanned the obstacle course full of trainees, but she couldn't see anything out of place. She decided to shrug it off for the moment and turn back to Naruto.
Her blonde instructor, was busy explaining to Krista about chakra, "And that's how it works. Well for the most part." He said with a smirk, before continuing, "Now we just have to wait for the others. But in the mean time here Krista take this." He instructed, handing her a white slip of paper with a bizarre looking design on it, "What is it?" Krista asked, examining it closely.
"Chakra paper. We can see what your natural affinity is. Mikasa already did this. Now it's time to see yours." He smiled. As Shion simply sighed, and put her hand over her face in disappointment. 'He still isn't very good at explaining things.…is he?' She asked her herself.
"Oh um alright then." Krista said, twirling the paper in her hands and staring at it with her big blue eyes. The blonde chuckled in response, "Now I know you really can't feel it yet or mold it, but I want you to focus just a little bit of chakra into the paper. Doesn't have to be alot. Here. I'll show you." He explained, taking out a piece of the same paper. All of the girls watched him eagerly. "Just like this." As his words echoed out, the paper was instantly cut in half by an unknown force. Krista stood their in slight shock, "Amazing!" She shouted out a moment later. "I'll give it a try now. I think I can do it!" She added, as the Uzumaki smirked for her taking the initiative.
Krista slowly stepped forward with the paper in her hands and closed her eyes. Trying to focus the chakra flowing through her body. Suddenly she felt something start to move all around her body, 'I-Is this chakra?' She thought to herself, as the small blonde tried to direct this thing towards the white paper in her hands. 'Come on.' She said to herself again, and then just like that she felt the chakra flow into paper. "I did it!" She said aloud, as the paper in her hands turned into a solid block of wood and fell to the ground.
Naruto and Shion's eyes widen in shock, as they watched this happen. "Uh." Was all Shion could say, staring at the wood and then back to Krista, "Whoa." Naruto added, kneeling down next to her and examining the piece of wood. Mikasa just stared in confusion.
"What?" Krista asked with a worried look. Afraid that she did something wrong, or somehow broke the chakra paper. As Shion continue to stare in shock, Naruto took one last look at the piece of wood before standing up with a smirk, "Krista this is amazing! You have a natural affinity for wood! I've only known one person to have a natural affinity to it. He was the first leader of my village and during his time one of the strongest Shinobi in the world." He explained with a confident smirk.
Krista stood in awe, but before she could say anything Shion stepped forward, "But how's a wood release possible Naruto?" The priestess asked, picking up the piece of wood. Naruto crossed his arm, striking up a thinking pose for a moment before he began to speak again, "I believe she actually has both a earth and water affinity. Which when combined together makes a wood affinity. Exactly like the first Hokage."
"Amazing." Shion said, her eyes widening slightly at his explanation, "To find something so rare, especially in another world. The five great nations would go wild for this." She added.
"Yeah." Naruto said with a nod before tossing the piece of wood, as Mikasa and Krista simply stared at the two, "Uh? What's going on?" The Ackerman asked. Naruto turned his head and put on one of his trademark smirks, "Not to worry, we'll explain it all in time. But for now let's wait for the rest of your class to arrive." Both girls nodded and began to patiently wait, as they saw the first of the teammates reaching the training fields.
After another minute or so the rest of the group finally made it to were Naruto was. All of them were huffing and puffing. Connie even passed out on the ground when he arrived, only to be woken up by an annoyed Sasha. The blonde just put his hand over his face in slight disappointment, but then remembered he acted like this as well from time to time. Then a moment later he decided that they had a long enough break, "Alright looks like all of you made it here. Some quicker then others." The blonde said looking over to a hunched over Jean. Instantly taking notice, the boy retaliated, "What! Why you looking at me!" He shouted out looking up at the blonde. Naruto simply smirked, "Oh no reason." Jean then began to eye the Uzumaki before standing back up properly.
Naruto chuckled at the boy for a moment then quickly got serious looking to all of the the recruits with a stern expression, "Alright then everyone. If you'd please follow me to through the training course. I'll be showing you just how powerful you can become and.…." He took a pause as he walked forward, with Shion in toe, "I'll show you, you never have to fear the titans again." He added, looking back at the group of men and women before he began to walk towards the training course.
In turn almost all of the trainees gulped and began to follow him. But as they began to walk through the obstacle course, they received glares from many of the other trainees. "Why's everyone looking at us like that?" Asked Sasha, feeling nervous and slightly afraid, "I have no idea." Jean said, looking around at some of the other trainees. Feeling annoyed. He didn't like to be stared at.
But with the many glares, also came the many gasps as the group walked by. Particular when they saw Shion. She hadn't changed out of her Priestess attire yet. So many of the regular trainees and instructors thought she was royalty of some sort. Some even bowed to her as she walked by. Shion just kept up an awkward smile, the entire time. Naruto on the other hand kept up a foxy smile, as he walked past some of the young trainees. They stared at him awkwardly. Mainly because of his clothes and hair. Mikasa slightly smile, as she watched the blonde walk infront of her. To her Naruto almost always had a smile on his face. It was truly something enjoyable to see.
The group continued to walk further down the course, until they reach the edge of the training fields, by now they had drawn quite a crowd. Trainees and Instructors alike gathered behind them to see how Naruto would train the Shinobi trainees. "So what exactly are you going to show us?" Marco asked stepping forward. Naruto turned back to the now large crowd, as Shion stood to his right, "Heh. You'll just have to wait and see." He said, beginning to move his hand in rapid movements.
By now almost everyone was paying attention to the blonde. Some of the kids looked sceptical, as the blonde continued to move his fingers. Even some of the instructors had confused expression cross their face. They had heard about what the blonde could do, but even still didn't believe it. But during this time time Naruto had finished the hand signs and was waiting for another movement before releasing the justu, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" He shouted out, as three large puffs of smoke appeared behind him. All the kids stared in curiosity.
The original smirked at the kids curiosity. This was certainly going to be an interesting day for him and his trainees. Finally after another moment the smoke dissappered and three exact copies of Naruto stood behind him with smirks, "Huh!?" Connie stammered out, blinking twice just to make sure he wasn't going crazy. "Whoa!" Sasha added, looking at the clones as well. All of the other trainees and Instructors were amazed and a little freaked out by this. But in the mean time the real Naruto stepped forward and crossed his arms, "This is just one of the many moves you can use with chakra." He said, as all of the clones nodded in agreement.
Armin stood next to Mikasa and Mina with a big smile on his face, watching Naruto, "Amazing. They're perfect copies of himself. But I wonder how tough they are?" He asked in amazement. Mina nodded in agreement and Mikasa just smiled. Leave it to Armin to think of everything. But even with Armin the group could never be prepared for what was going to happen next.
Their blonde instructor walked directly up to the group, right in front of Mikasa, "Now then. Who here has seen a titan?" He asked aloud. The group almost instantly went quiet. Everyone looked away from the blonde, even the instructors. No one wanted to say a word now. The blonde thought he was going to have to do it the hard way, until he heard someone step forward, "I have sir!" A boy shouted out, saluting to the Uzumaki and narrowing his eyes, "Oh? Who are you?" Naruto asked, eyes widening slightly. This boy was surprisingly forward and eager.
"Eren Yeager sir." He said, standing at attention. By now everyone's eyes were on the two. Either impressed or skeptical about Eren. But not Naruto. He was only intrigued by him, "Well Eren, how do you think the average human fairs against a titan?" He asked, looking back towards his clones who in return gave him a nod.
Eren smirked, "I could handle one with no problem. I was at Wall Maria when it fell." He said smugly. This instantly irritated the blonde instructor. Mainly because he got a hint of his younger self in the boy, as well as hint of his best friend as well, "Oh? Is that so?" Naruto asked, looking down at him with a stern expression. It didn't matter if this boy was at Wall Maria when it fell. If he attacked so smugly in battle and couldn't back it up then he was bound to get himself killed or his team.
But Eren couldn't take the hint through Naruto's expression that he was displeased. The boy just gave another smug nod. In return Naruto gripped the boys shoulder, "Well then. Here's your chance!" He shouted out, as his three clones exploded into a cloud of white smoke.
"Huh?" Eren asked, looking behind Naruto only to see three massive figures rise from the smoke. Eren's eyes widen and his mouth opened in horror. The same could be said for the rest of the trainees and instructors behind him, "W-What the hell?" Eren stuttered out, "This must be a joke?" He asked looking over to Naruto who still had the stern expression on his face.
Three massive 15 meter tall titans stood where his clones once did. Peering down at the group, with sadistic expressions. No one moved or said a thing. They just looked scared to high hell. Finally one of the instructors took a step back, "Titans!" He screamed, turning around and sprinting away as fast as humanly possible. But as he was sprinting away Keith Shadis head instructor for the camp grabbed the other instructor and pushed him to the ground before looking over to Naruto, "Instructor Uzumaki! What are you doing-" He stopped in his tracks once he saw the titans staring at him. He was tempted to run, but only for a second. Instead he narrowed his eyes and stood his ground. Shadis had been through too much to let these things scare him. If instructor Uzumaki was behind this, then he would just need to trust him. But he would certainly have a word with the blonde after this.
Meanwhile the blonde was standing infront of the three titans with a smirk, "Now! Everyone here! I will show you right now that there is no reason to fear these big dumb walking meat bags!" He said, snapping his fingers. The titans instantly moved towards the group of trainees and instructors. Still keeping the insane smile on their faces. In return almost everyone began to turn and run away from the monsters, "My trainees hold your ground!" Naruto suddenly ordered, but no one besides Shion listened. Even Mikasa's almost ever stoic expression faltered at the sight of these things. But still she stood her ground even as the horrible flashbacks of the fall of Wall Maria raced across her mind. They were stuff of nightmare. Blood, guts, bodyparts everywhere. But as she always did in these types of situations Mikasa looked for a source of comfort. She tried to find Eren, 'Where is he? I have to get him out of here!' The Ackerman thought to herself. That was her source of comfort. Making sure Eren was safe.
But little did Mikasa know that Eren was one of the first to run. Not concerned for anyone's safety but his own. Bertold and Reiner quickly ran after the boy. Hot on his heels.
The Ackerman had no idea about this, and continued to look around for her adoptive brother, not paying attention to the looming hand behind her. "Mikasa!" A voice shouted out from the side. She turned her head to the source. Only to see Armin pointing behind her with a face full of fear, as Mina hid behind him as well. Mikasa almost immediately turned back, only to see a massive hand about to grab her. She wanted to jump out of the way, to dodge it. To hide and not be caught by this thing. But one thought raced across her mind just before she was about to move. It was the conversation she had with Shion the night before.
"If anyone could do it…Naruto can."
"You really believe in him that much?"
"Yeah I do, and you'll learn to as well."
And with that Mikasa didn't move. She stood her ground. The blonde told her not to move and she wouldn't. Instead a she kept repeating a phrase in her head multiple times, 'Believe in him. Believe in him! Believe in him!' She shouted in her head, just as the hand started to grab her. The Ackerman closed her eyes waiting for it. Except it never did. All she felt was a small gust of wind in front of her, "W-What?" She asked slowly opening her eyes back up, and getting her bearings. But Mikasa's eyes widen a moment later in shock.
Naruto stood directly infront of her. Holding the titans hand with his own. He looked back towards the girl with a smirk, "Good job. Mikasa." He whispered out. The Ackerman blushed a moment later, as he smirked at her.
But in the mean time, all the other trainees had come to a stop staring at the scene, "The hell!?" Jean asked, not believe the sight before his eyes. A single man had stopped a titan dead in his tracks with only his hand. This wasn't possible. No one was this strong, 'This chakra thing wasn't that strong. Was it?' He thought, staring down at his own hand. Everyone else gasped at the sight and slowly walked forward towards them, "N-No way." Sasha stuttered out. The rest of the group nodded in agreement.
"See everyone!" Naruto shouted out with a smile, as the titan struggled against his grip. But before anyone could respsone, the monster slammed it's other hand ontop of Naruto. Everyone gasped again in shock. Thinking the blonde had met his end. But the titans hand was instantly stopped with ease by Naruto's other hand, "Wha!" He shouted out, as the ground cracked beneath him from the pressure of the slam. Mikasa shielded her eyes as dust was thrown into the air. Naruto in the meantime used his strength to push the titans hand off of him, and then kicked the other hand away. He then turned and raced to grab Mikasa before the titans hands came back.
The Ackerman suddenly felt arms wrap around her and she slowly opened her eyes to see Naruto holding her in his arms, "I think they got a little ahead of themselves there. Sorry about that." The blonde said, with a smile on his face. Mikasa tried to hide another small blush as the thought of Naruto saving her filled her mind. But a moment later he sat her down next to the group of trainees, as well as a smirking Shion. About 100ft from the titans. Who were now racing towards them. Naruto looked back with a scowl. His clones were trying to show off, just like when he had first arrived here. He needed to stop this. So after sitting Mikasa down next to Shion the blonde took out a small scroll, "What? Paper? What's that going to do against the titans!?" Connie shouted out, watching the blonde. Most of the other trainees didn't want to say it, but they agreed with him. Except Mikasa. She now knew that Naruto had something up his sleeve. Shion knew it as well. Both girls smirked at the same time.
Naruto didn't answer Connie, he simply gripped the small scroll in his hand before throwing it up in the air. It erupted in a cloud of white smoke and out of it the chakra blade he had used before flew out. Naruto caught it with ease and tossed the scroll over to Mikasa. The Ackerman caught it with ease and examined it for a moment before looking back at Naruto.
The Uzumaki gripped the chakra blade as orange chakra began to fill in the indentations on the blade. Everyone gasped in amazement, as he swung the weapon to his side and took off with a massive amount of speed towards the titans. The ground cracked below him as he did this, amazing everyone else even more. Chakra made someone this powerful? They needed to see more. Lucky for them Naruto Uzumaki was their teacher. He moved incredibly fast and was ontop of the first titan in no time. The monster reached down and tried to grab the blonde, but was interrupted as Naruto jumped ontop of its outstretched arm and dug his chakra blade into it. Running along the length of it's arm Naruto cut the titan all the up to it's shoulder before it could even react. The titan tried to crush Naruto like a bug. But the blonde was quicker then that, in no time he had reached the titans neck and plunged the blade into its weak spot. Causing it to explode into white smoke, "Damn he's amazing!" Sasha shouted out with Connie nodding quickly in agreement. Everyone else commented as well, except for Mikasa. Who was watching in amazement. For the blonde was not done.
Naruto fell towards the ground only to be caught by one of the other titans. Now in the infamous titan death grip Naruto smirked. He used his superior strength to spin the chakra blade in his hands. As a result he cut through all of the titans fingers and sprang out up into the air. Everyone watched breathlessly. Naruto threw the chakra blade towards the titan effortless and followed close behind the blade. It flew through the air, until it sliced into the front of the titans neck. The clone henge screamed in pain as the real Naruto suddenly slammed his fist directly into the hilt of the blade. The force of the impact forced the chakra blade through the titans entire neck, as well as shattered the monsters vertebrae. Effectively killing the "titan" and causing it to disappear with a pop. In return Naruto smirked but that was immediately cut short as the last titan suddenly gripped Naruto, with lightning speed it spun around and threw Naruto into the sky. Everyone backed away in shock as they watched the instructor soar through the air. Even Shion was getting slightly worried. He was taking this a bit to far. Mikasa was also getting worried as well, 'He's really reckless isn't he?' She asked herself, tapping her foot on the ground nervously.
"Tch!" Naruto grunted out, as he tried to get his bearings, "My clones are taking this a bit to far now aren't they? Well then if they want me to try and impress my new students, then let's go!" He shouted out, as a yellow orb began to form in his hand and he created a clone to fling him back towards the ground. The blonde flew towards the earth at a high speed, as the now fully formed Rasengan spun in his hand. "Alright! Time to show these kids that they can win this thing!" He shouted, nearing the titan who put up its arms as a shield. Naruto smirked and narrowed his eye, pushing his arm forward, "Ahhhh! RASENGAN!" He screamed out, as he impacted into the titans face like a missile strike. From the force of the impact alone Naruto shot right through the titan and smashed into the ground behind it, resulting in a massive cloud of dust and rock. Everyone covered their eyes, as his clone henge disappeared in a puff of smoke. Leaving only a lingering dust cloud in the area.
"D…..D-Did he do it?" Connie asked, bringing his arms down and scanning the area in front of him, "You better believe he did!" Krista exclaimed, moving forward towards the dust cloud. Everyone else nodded with agreement, while both Mikasa and Shion moved past Krista towards where the blonde was last seen, "He's so strong." Mikasa whispered out. Seeing him move around like that and seeing her instructor take out the titans on a dime gave her hope. Now she was beginning to believe in him….but maybe she already did. If only he was around during the fall of Maria. Then humanity would have definitely been able to push the titans back and keep their lands.
Then finally a figure emerged from the thinning cloud of dust, "Naruto?" Shion asked squinting her eyes.
Then finally after another moment the blonde jinchuuriki came into clear view walking out of the now clearing dust, "That was amazing instructor Uzumaki!" One of the recruits in the crowd shouted out, "It was down right badass!" Connie added. The blonde in return smirked and was about to say something before the crowd of recruits and instructors started to part and lead trainer Shadis walked between them all. "Instructor Naruto." He simply said staring the blonde down as everyone else went quiet. The Uzumaki felt like he was digging holes into his face. he had messed up. Naruto was preparing to be reprimanded for his actions though. He knew that it was a dangerous thing to do. Creating titans without warning and forcing these mere kids to try and stare them down. He knew deep down that alot of them wouldnt do it. Not after what they had been through. He had been informed that many of these kids has severe PTSD from the Fall of Maria, but still he needed to do this. Naruto Uzumaki needed to show everyone that they no longer needed to fear the titans. But now he might've crossed the line. He might've jeopardize his and Shion's-
"Address your trainees Uzuamki." Was all that Shadis said, before he turned around and walked away leaving the blonde in shock. But then a moment later he stopped and turned his head slightly to the blonde, "Maybe mankind has a chance now, with you and your Shinobi around. Do us proud and accomplish what I never could" And with that he walked away towards the main camp. Naruto smiled. 'Will do old man.' He thought to himself before turning around to see his Shinobi trainees and a few others who didn't run away waiting for him. Suddenly the Priestess walked up beside him with a smile, "Showing off a bit aren't we Naruto?" She giggled. The blonde in return smirked, "Well I aim to please." He announced as the smirk was replaced with a heart warming smile. Shion quickly looked away with a blush. Flustered and embarrassed. Naruto just rubbed the girls head before turning back to everyone. They were waiting for him. Waiting for him to address them, to lead them.
So the Uzumaki did the only thing that came natural to him in these situations. He started to speak from his heart, "Look everyone." He began walking to the center of the group followed by Shion. Everyone almost immediately moved to give them room as he continued, "This is the power of chakra. I only used a small amount, and look at what can be accomplished with it! With the power and skills.…humanity-" He paused, looking at a hopeful Mikasa at the front of the group. Seeing her in a lighter mood now really lifted his spirits. At least she had grown to believe and possibly trust him now. It gave him a little bit more confidence. So he started to continue, "-can win. Mankind doesn't have to be afraid anymore. None of you have to be afraid anymore." He said, looking around at all of the new recruits. All of them began to smile at his words, starting to believe that he was right. That the words he was saying were true.
Naruto smirked knowing that they were starting to believe, "With this and a strong enough will to fight we can take back Maria! Drive these monsters from your lands! I can provide the skill for all of you, but you need to have the will." He paused, as an image of the third Hokage flashed across his mind before continuing, "A Will of Fire!" He suddenly shouted out as his chakra began to swirl around his body, mainly because he was getting fired up. Everyone looked amazed at the orange chakra illuminating around him. Suddenly he grasped Shion's hand, causing the chakra to swirl around her, "I can promise you all that starting today!" He yelled, lifting both of their hands into the air as Kurama's chakra covered both of their arms in his cloak. Amazing everyone even further, "That Humanity's counterattack starts today!" He shouted out, narrowing his eyes. Naruto meant this. He would push the titans back, defend mankind and when the time came…..he would defeat Toneri and Mōryō. But most of all he'd protect Shion and his new trainees.
But little did the blonde know that someone was watching him from the very edge of the training field. She hid behind one of the climbing walls, observing the Uzumaki, "So this is the new instructor." She whispered out, pushing some of her blonde hair behind her ear, "He certainly has a very different out look on life, maybe I could try talking to him." She said to herself again, still staring at him in the crowd with her ice blue eyes. He looked so fiery and clear headed. Like he knew the path he wanted to blaze. Not to mention his power, she doubted no one on this earth could stand against him, "Maybe Dad was wrong. Maybe there is hope for these people and just maybe not everyone is my enemy." She said gripping the wood of the climbing wall, digging her nails into it. His arrival changed everything and it could actually be for the better, "He's so sure of himself and far more confident then that fireball Eren. Maybe believing in hope again isn't some far off dream anymore." Annie said to herself, as a small smile flashed across her face before she turned around and walked back to the girls cabin.
