Chapter 2: The Pit
- 2 Years Ago -
"So Tama-chan finally has a little friend huh?" Najenda held her chin as she looked at the boy her little cousin brought in interest. Naruto was currently almost 16 years old as he walked in the special force's base while being escorted by to tall dark skin men. Both of them were muscled and bulky with white cornrolls. From the information underworld of the supernatural circle she could guess who these 2.
The slightly larger one went by the name Ay while the one with the Shades was known as Killer be and together they were the famous AB tag team. Najenda knew about them but she knew nothing about the boy they were guard as her own guards stood at the ready just in case there was any funny business.
She looked over at Tama who didn't look too concerned as she led the group and to her so she walked up to them.
"Well looks like we have some unexpected guests. Welcome to the Raid base, specializing in human to supernatural affairs and mercenary disruption. It's quite the surprise to be visited by the famed AB team. Last I heard you two were supposed to be under the hand of the Kitsune clan head and apart of her Anbu Division. Tama-chan clearly led you here on her own so I assume you aren't an immediate threat but what's with the kid. From what I can tell he's completely human?"
Humans in the company of supernatural beings so casually especially kids were extremely rare and these two would not be the kind to just have a tagalong without some kind of attachment or relation to him.
The named Killer be spoke or rather rapped in his own fashion at hearing what the girl said.
"Wow bro this little lady sure knows her stuff! I wonder how she knows so much?" Ay facepalm and groaned at his brothers annoying habit but had to agree with him.
"Baring the eccentrics of my brother he does have a point. This area is all the way on the other part of the world from the clan in a location I was not aware of. You also look like a normal girl to me so how is it that you know so much about us?"
"Being the niece of a god as well as having an information system ran by mercs does have it's advantages is all I will say. That being said who is the kid Tama-chan?" She looked over at the girl who was looking off into space distracted by... she wasn't sure what she was distracted by all she knew was that Tama's attention was directed elsewhere rather than at them.
"He's my friend I guess."
"Well I figured that much-."
"And the son of the last kitsune clan head and the nephew of the current one." Najenda's eyes widened at this. Now the boy had her full attention.
"Oh really? But he looks nothing like a Kitsune nor does he feel like a youkai. He does have whisker marks and slit eyes though now that I look at him which aren't normal human traits. I didn't know the Kitsune clan even had a male born of the first family. Last one was what? I believe centuries ago?"
"He's also an Armorer too." Tama said it like it as casually as if she were discussing the weather but the moment she said it the chatter in the bay area went silent as Najenda's eyes widened even more.
"Wait what?! He's an Armorer and one of you hasn't killed the other yet?" How was she going to deal with this? Armorers could be hazardous to keep around and she was lucky to have such a good bond with Tama that the girl listened to her like a older sister. God knows both of the girl's relationship with Freed was shit. The entire headquarters loved her little cousin too so she could feel comfortable knowing everyone looked out for her.
Tama could and would kill people easily who weren't family so as much as the commander wanted to be wary of the blond boy the fact that he came with Tama must have meant she was special to her in some way so she would figure him out herself.
She let out a breath before holding out a hand to the young boy.
"Well that's a lot to know. I'm sure you have quite the interesting story behind you. I am Najenda, Commander of this base. I hope we can get along."
The boy smiled as he shook her hand. He may have looked normal but at the physical contact she could suddenly sense that he may indeed have a supernatural heritage that they claimed him to have.
"Well the pleasure is mine. I am Naruto Uzumaki."
'He's cute through I'll give him that.' She had to hand it to Tama he at least knew how to pick them if nothing else.
After learning more about Naruto she trained him extensively in the art of modern weapons at Tama's request. She did benefit from it greatly as the Kitsune clan and therefore a majority of the youkai faction allied themselves with them. This way there location would still be mostly secret in the deserts of America and Mexico and the Raid would be able to expand their web. Ay and B seemed to enjoy being there too as they regularly sparred with her other soldiers. Mainly the ones that weren't human of course when they weren't beating up on Naruto for his own training.
The boy kept surprising her continously through. He learned everything about the weapons she trained him at an alarmingly fast pace to the point he could match Tama soon. If he really was a Hybrid Armorer like they told him then Naruto would be worlds more dangerous the next time she saw him in a few years time.
- Present time -
He groaned as his face laid down on the cold metal floor. "Damnit I'm sedated again." His arms were re-restrained behind his back with heavier cuffs. HE didn't have enough time to sleep off the sedation this time so his muscles were almost fully asleep.
"Good thing I have an unnatural control over my body." It had been 2 days since Naruto had made it to the came and the biggest thing he had to deal with was Najenda's obstacle course or the Pit as many liked to call it. It took one day for his body to get reoriented to the new state his body was at but after that Najenda threw him headfirst into the Pit.
The pit was literally a 100 story hole in the ground. It could act as an underground portion of the base as every several floors there were different obstacles and threats designed to stop you, slow you down, or kill you as the threat level progressively rose. It didn't always stay the same and it often had differen objectives open to be completed. Back when he did it a couple years ago he had to avoid traps and climb his way out. In the end his limit had been tested but he knew that the Pit had been handicapped to the level of his previously human body. Even still through back then he almost died several times and it took him a day to complete and yet Tama willingly pawned him off to her insane cousin... well the were all different degrees of crazy but still! He would certainly be paying her back for this.
The only good thing about this was in a way he would enjoy this and it would help him test his body much faster than he would have been able to on his own with school and all.
"Grrraaah." Through force of will after a Naruto managed to bring his foot under him to kneel. Normally his heart didn't beat as it just hummed most of the time with it actually beating occasionally. But now he willed his heart to beat and to beat faster and faster as he force his blood pressure and pulse to rise and made his body restart itself as it slowly burned off the sedatives at a faster rate.
He panted as his blood circulate rapidly causing steam to come out of his mouth. He could sacrifice his stamina to give himself more power but he could also do it to up his body.
His ears twitched as he suddenly heard a buzz and a voice on the intercom.
–"Oh looks like you're finally up. Well let the test begin!"–
It was Najenda's voice and Naruto cursed as the lights turned on and several laser sights found themselves on his body. The sound of automated turrets could be heard before a wave of bullets came at him. He jumped out of the way quickly as they hit the ground where he was before tumbling to the side. The most strength he had was in his legs right now and that combined with the fact that his balance was thrown off because of his restrained arms he was gonna have a hard time.
He rolled out of the way as more bullets came at him before popping up and flipping off the ground before he stumbled again.
–"You know we usually don't attempt to complete the Pit while restrained and sedated but I thought I'd make it special for you."–
"Fuck you..." He blitzed off the ground again avoiding more bullets before now having regained enough control over his body to run.
–"Sorry but Tama-chan would get jealous."–
His eye twitched but he kept silent and kept running which helped his blood slowly pump hard help him burn off more and more. He kept running around avoiding bullets as he sped up. By the 5th floor he was fast enough to get past the turrets sights before they could fire at him.
–"Oh Tama was right you have gotten faster."He skidded to a stop while bouncing on his feet to keep his blood going as he saw what looked to be little robotic things. They were around 2 feet tall with a cyclops red eye and went round on a central wheel.
"What are these toys?" They all responded to his voice by turning to him and having semi-autos come out of their chest.
"...of course." Before they could shoot at him he quickly closed the distance and rushed them kicking one off the floor for it to fall the 5 floors down to the ground before he lashed out his legs again and stomped hard on one crushing it before kicking all the others away.
"Well that was easy. He kept running avoiding the drones as he went higher. They drones got faster but it was really nothing for him as he got to the 15th floor and kept going strong.
"You know what fuck this." He started walking over to the edge of the floor overlooking the stories where he could look straight up at the opening of the pit.
–"Uzumaki what are you doing?"–
He walked to the edge and jumped onto the railing looking down.
–"Uzumaki are you giving up? That's a 15 story drop."–
Without saying anything he crouched down and a second later he jumped full force causing the rail to bend under him because of it.
Najenda and those who were watching eyes widen as Naruto went up 30 stories and more with one bound landing on the side of the 47 floor before he ricocheted off that wall back flipping across the hole 10 more floors up before repeating up on the other side and getting 5 more floors up before he was hit by an RPG and sent tumbling into the 60th floor.
"W-What the hell-? He was momentarily shellshocked by the rocket but otherwise fine but was cut off mid sentence as another rocket hit him. He looked over to the source of the rockets and saw 2 meter high robots chasing him down.
"Are you trying to get me killed?!"
-"Don't worry Uzumaki if you die we have the technology to put you back together..."-
"Oh... well that's good to know."
-"As long as there is enough of you left."-
"Fuck you!"
He picked himself off the ground and ran at the robots head on
"You're in the way." The rockets came at him and right when one was about to hit him it phased right through as he disappeared leaving an afterimage. A blink later he appeared on top of the robots arm silently before cleanly kicking its head off in one smooth motion.
Up on the observation deck Najenda's eyes widened silently as she rubbed her chin. "Those drones are a lot more durable and made of harder metals than the other ones he faced." She suddenly went alert as did Ay, Bee, and the others who were watching Naruto with her as his eyes shadowed.
The pressure around Naruto became visible as it resembled black and white static and his eyes glowed white with black sclera. He brought his leg as his body wafted with his aura before bring his heel down and splitting straight through the robot. He dropped down to the ground before going into windmills kicking the 2 halves of the drone off at the other nearby robots before blurring out of site running faster them before as he went around and around going up the floors of the pit and destroying robots along the way.
He skidded to a stop as a wave of even bigger robots were waiting for him blocking his armed with miniguns and put up a blue forcefield of sorts.
"Okay I'm pretty sure you made this special for me now."
–"Call down Uzumaki there is no need to rush. We have plenty of time to learn all about you."-
"Then watch and learn." Naruto instantly collided head first with the forcefield causing his body to get electrocuted. His teeth gritted as he grinned while pushing through it.
–"Are you insane!? That's like walking into a wall of lightning!"–
"You already know the answer to that!" His body flex and the next moment there was a hole in the barrier that slowly closed and a hole in the chest of the robot who was managing it before it exploded. Naruto appeared behind the wreckage and tilted his head back at the camera with a fanged grin.
"I have a high electric affinity.~"
The remaining wave of robots turned on him and doused him with flamethrowers. He sighed as he just casually walked away from it.
"It only feels a little hot..."
He started running again before the others could shoot at him but only got throw a few floors and destroying more drones along the way before he ran into large drones with a large variety of weapons this time. He was going to rush them but flinched as these actually moved fast enough for one to stab down at him with a sword arm that broke up the metal floor as it barely missed his feet from him stopping in time.
He pivoted on his feet to circle around the hunks of metal through the small opening they had and kept running not trying to waste his time.
He yelped as he only got 20 meters before a hand was launched at him grabbing him around his neck and reeling him back in before slamming him on the ground cratering it. He took a moment to catch his breath as that disoriented him and caught him off guard. His eyes widened as the giant sword hand came down to skewer his head only for the drone to strike dust as something blurred up and around its arm before Naruto appeared to stomp kick its chest making it fall over.
–"You're as hard to catch as a weasel aren't you."–
In a smooth motion Naruto got on its chest and his canines gleamed in the light as he sunk his fangs into the cyborg's sword arm and ripped it clean off. He dropped it and smash it with his foot making parts fly up in the air before catching the makeshift sword in his mouth. The moment he did it was like a switch had been flipped as his eyes widened and dilated making him look ominous with his white eyes.
Najenda visibly flinched as she cursed knowing what just happened. The boy didn't even have the use of his arms but he still found a way to get a weapon and enter his Armorer state of mind, and a 2 meter long blade made of high class metal at that.. She was almost certain that he had forgotten about his bound arms by this point too. Slowly the blade was engulfed in aura before he vanished. Large gashes and cuts appeared in the walls and floors of the levels as Naruto went on a path of destruction, his body invisible to humans because of how fast he was attacking as he traveled. Any and every mechanical construction and robot he passed was cut up to varying degrees leaving nothing but scraps metal in his wakes.
Najenda tried to stop him by activating a wall of moving lasers but he didn't stop at all. He jumped straight at it and spun with the sword in his mouth. The openings between the lasers were hardly big enough for a person. Najenda wasn't sure how he did it as all she saw was blur go straight through that area and pieces of cut up metal that used to be the scrapped sword fall to the ground.
Naruto just kept going and going even when he ran into newer androids with these having more humanoid bodies armed with various weapons of energy. In a blink even at his speed they jumped at him right when he was about to pass with expert timing. Naruto grinned excitedly before his arm muscles twitched and the was a popping noise as he brought his bound arms up from behind him and slammed them down in front of him on one of the cyborg's heads destroying it completely.
From what Najenda could see some of the cuffs had been cut likely from the lasers he just crossed and that had loosened the restraints enough for him to bring his arms to the front.
Naruto swung his metal bound arms like a blunt weapon at the android to his side but his eyes widened as it caught his arms. Heard a beep behind him before he quickly brought his legs up to lock onto the arm and spirals glowed in his eyes before the space distorted around him and the gravitational pressure magnified crushing the arm holding him and having him drop to the ground. And perfect timing too as a split second later the android holding him had been turned to swiss cheese by lasers fired at it from the other androids.
These were a lot more combat ready than the other ones he faced if they could track supernatural speed like that. He blurred towards one and kicked it only for his leg to be caught but Naruto used that against the drone and reeled that leg in so he could stomp it in the chest with his other foot making it fly back and crack. Before Naruto could even fall to the ground another android blurred in front of him with hands that looked to be armed with animal like claws of energy. It swiped its claws at him to try and sever his neck from his shoulders but he twist in the air avoiding it and landing on his feet. The robot was on his quick however with its claws coming at him but Naruto swung his restrained arms at it deflecting the two swipes before he grinned evilly as he showed that droid had slashed at most of the bindings on his restraints. He flex his muscles fully now that he could feel them and broke the restraints apart in a shower of metal.
Ay had a small smirk on his face looking watching the boy he helped train years ago. "That brat is as smart as ever. He may be reckless in the way he does things but he never loss focus the entire time. I'd say you lost this Najenda."
The girl just cursed as she knew her fun was over. Well Tama did say that he would complete this easily but Najenda thought that with his body numbed, his arms restrained, and him still not used to his new body that it would at least challenge him more. Wasn't fair that he jumped through almost half of it but anything goes.
Now that Naruto had his arms back he gained his trademark bored expression as the remaining androids were suddenly on him from every direction.
"Well it's been fun." He dropped down to all fours and spun around once in a fraction of a second before all the androids sparked and fell apart sliced up.
Naruto was down on all force with 4 long bladed wings coming out of his back.
Najenda blinked before she smacked her head.
–"Tama didn't tell me you had wings too."–
"Calm down it's not like I can fly too well with them."
–"Oh well that's not that bad-."–
"But it's not like that matters to me."
Naruto's body was covered in aura until it resembled a walking shadow as his body morphed and grew. In a few seconds he had grown to the size of a trailer and before the aura could even disperse he jumped straight up through the roof.
- Outside the Pit -
Tama was walking towards the edge of the hole deciding to check up on how Naruto was doing. The pit was usually guarded by various assualt vehicles and sometimes mechs and familiar but for now it only had a handful of tanks around it. As she got near the hole she stopped in her step as she heard echos throughout the giant hole of what seemed to be floors being broken through. They got louder and louder before she felt it right under her. Before she could move away the ground in front of her cracked and a large beast broke through the ground. It howl up in the air as the dust cleared to reveal a giant wolf like being. It was black with a grey underbelly and stripes with glowing white eyes and white sclera. It had an anamorphic toned canine body and had black horns on it's head and a long tail. The beast glanced at Tama making her shiver before shadows swirled around it and it shrunk back down to Naruto with his eyes violet now and his horns elongating on his head.
From up in the watch tower Najenda watched him confused as he walked up to one of the tanks. "Well I'm impressed it only took him 10 minutes to get through the pit. I would say that's a record but Tama went through it a little faster. Then again he was restrained and inhibited most of the time he was in there. What is he doing?" She looked amused as she saw him try to push the tank but it didn't go anywhere.
"Aww that's cute he think he can move a 100 ton tank." She pointed at him but looked behind her to see Ay and Bee had left. 'Where did they go?'
Naruto got on the side of the tank that would have him facing the watchtower and punched the tank full force. There was a loud resounding clang as dust and sand from the desert was blown away from the punch before the space on the tank distorted and a massive shockwave hit it causing it to tilt over and crack the ground behind it for quite a ways but it still fell back down as normal.
Najenda sweated nervously as she started to guess what Naruto was doing. "He wouldn't... He's not that made at me is he?" She now figured out why Ay and Bee vanished conveniently as right at that moment Naruto locked eyes with her casually and with a burst of aura he turned back into a giant wolf in a second and flipped the tank across the land at her tower for a direct hit. Najenda dove out of the way as the tank went through her observation deck and gritted her teeth.
"That asshole!"
Tama look over at Naruto questioningly as he shrunk back down again as if he did not through a multi ton hunk of metal at her only cousin. "Naru-kun?" He tilted his head back at her and she could under the look he gave her before pivoting on the balls of his feet and walking towards her. She shut her eyes as he walked up to her but opened them confused when he walked right past her.
"Kyaa!" She yelled out when one of her twintails was suddenly pulled bring her eye to eye with Naruto as his slit eyes were only inches away from her own. His eyes glowed with a territorial dominance that made her extremely submissive.
"If you were already tensing then that means you know you did something wrong. I agreed to come back here to train not to be restrained while doing it. I hope you had your fun because I'm going to have mine now~."
-END-
AN: Well I got this one out faster than I expected. I think it's clear what the next chapter will be about and it will go up to back to the canon stuff again. This chapter gives you an idea of Naruto the next one will have his abilities written out more. I will try to have the next chapter out fast as well and it will be longer than this one I know for a fact. I have tuesday off so I should be able to get it out around then.
Know that Naruto got through the pit through inhibited from sedation and his arms restrained behind his back so it also threw off his back and he couldn't release his animal and demon traits for most of the time because of that and yet he still got through it virtually unscathed.
Anyway Anime I just finished was Shootfighter Tekken. It's an OVA series of 3 long episodes so you can watch it in a day. Other than the MC being ugly in my opinion I give the anime a 9/10. Really great fighting moves and choreography.
Anyway I want a lot of Review! It helps me go faster!
