Chapter 4: New World, New Life
It was night, the moon was in a cresent, high in the sky. Within the guest quarters', Jiraiya watched as Naruto's chest went up, and down at a slow pace. There wasn't even a slight snore coming from the still blonde as he was laying on his back, a small pillow under his head, and a wool blanket covering his body. Jiraiya had a lot on his mind. It all mainly had to do with the comatose jinchuuriki in front of him.
He had changed so much.
Six months ago Naruto was a loudmouth blonde, Hokage wannabe, ramen - obsessed, immature brat, and now he was calm, had a pessimistic view of the world, practical, had found something else to live for, and didn't always fight with honor. The last one was proven when a Kiri nuke-nin got in the swordsman's face, trying to force him to give the nin Kubrikiribocho, only to get a brutal kick to the balls. After which Naruto brought the blade to the downed man's neck threatening "to slit his throat, and use his neck hole as a crapper".
It wasn't the newfound willingness to fight dirty that concerned Jiraiya, it was something all shinobi do. No matter their rank. What worried the Sage was Naruto's view of the world. In his mind everyone unknown was motivated by self-interest. No one who wasn't emotionally close, or truly could be called friend or family, could be trusted. Jiraiya sighed, and put his hands over his eyes, rubbing them to ease the stress he felt.
Naruto's mental state was mostly fine but, Jiraiya knew that there a great darkness that formed within Naruto during his time in the world. His midnight eyes only confirmed it. Something was in there, something other than the fox. It wasn't surprising though, after all, Naruto had been living in a very dark environment so, of course, the ways, and thought patterns of nuke-nin were partially integrated into Naruto's personality. Speaking of personality, even though there was great change in Naruto, his base attitude hadn't changed much.
Naruto was still mischievous, had a love for learning new techniques, stubborn as hell, and loyal. Though Naruto's loyalty now had to be earned, and he wasn't throwing out promises like candy anymore. As a shinobi, Naruto had greatly improved, being able to take on Jonin. He was very handy with that zanbato, and tried to plan ahead. Yes, he was on his way to becoming a fine shinobi. At the cost of his innocence.
What was once a hyper, happy go lucky boy, had turned into a mature, and haunted young man. Sadness overcame Jiraiya, his expression dulling, and shoulders slumping. Naruto was exposed to sights that he wasn't anywhere near ready to see. He saw people slaughtered like animals, being tortured in agonizing ways to procure information vital to his criminal clientele. One experience Naruto shared with Jiraiya had shown how much this ordeal affected the jinchuuriki.
Naruto was on a joint mission with a group of nuke-nin, they were tasked with transporting a corrupt business owner, who inspired loyalty among his workers by killing the Nuke-nin he hired to guard him. The group was helpless. Naruto had almost not made it. He was saved by a long time Nuke-nin from Iwa.
The former Iwa Nin told Naruto that some of the more experienced Nuke-nin would often try to pass on knowledge, and survival tips to the newer ones. If they didn't, then all of them would be hunted down, and soon no one would dare betray their village out of fear. He also told Naruto that he better learn to survive as a Nuke-nin quickly, not every Nuke-nin believes in helping the youngbloods. Naruto did indeed quickly learn, he didn't want to die nor see other massacre like that ever again.
Jiraiya squeezed his eyes shut. Some of the more... Darker events Naruto told Jiraiya of were starting to come to mind. He shaked his head vigorously, trying to get the morbid mental images out of his head. He may have fought in wars but, he wasn't immune to gore. He just found a way to deal with it and get on with his life... The same way Naruto now had too.
Jiraiya once more looked at the sleeping Naruto, remembering the nightmares that Kyūbi was preventing Naruto from having. For a brief moment Jiraiya was thankful for the kitsune's being sealed within Naruto, if it hadn't then Naruto would definitely be insane. He had seen, and been put through too much. Jiraiya sighed, he wanted to stop thinking about depressing subjects. He began pondering about the Raiuton, Naruto's new bloodline.
Jiraiya's jaw had damn near broke through the hull of the ship when Naruto showed him his new bloodline. At first, Jiraiya didn't believe but, when Naruto held a miniature thunderstorm in his palm, Jiraiya immediately started thanking Kami that he had gotten the Blonde out of Konoha's reach. Jiraiya inquired how Naruto got his Raiuton, and was extremely surprised that the Uchiha's chidori was to thank for it. When Sasuke slammed his lightning-covered hand on Naruto's back, he unexpectedly altered Naruto's chakra natures, adding one element, along with two sub - elements but, removing Naruto's ability to use katon, and doton reliant Jutsu, and all the while strengthening Naruto's ability with the other three base chakra natures.
It wasn't a bad trade. Naruto could easily counter katon techniques with suiton, and destroy doton with raiton. Jiraiya once again was thankful he got to Naruto first. He knew Konoha would have turned him into breeding stock, and killed him when they got what they wanted. Jiraiya shivered, recalling that Naruto had informed him of the kitsune's opinion on Naruto's new bloodline, saying that Naruto could eventually create typhoons... He would be unbeatable, Jiraiya grimly realized.
Not even Harashima Senju with his Moukon could stand against a typhoon. The force of nature was too powerful to be stood against. The wind would snap the trees with it's force, the lightning would simply set them ablaze, and while the rain wouldn't do much, the hail from the Hyoton sub - element the Raiuton provides woud.
The large jagged ice shards could easily pierce the wood. The Ranton would obliterate any shield the Moukon created. Raiuton... Was the ultimate elemental bloodline. The ability to create typhoons could end wars with just the threat of it being used. A village stood no chance, every civilian, and most shinobi residing there would die.
Jiraiya cursed at himself, Naruto may have gotten admittedly dark, even a bit harsh but he wouldn't destroy a village for no reason. Well except Kohona but, after everything they've done to Naruto, he's allowed to want to unleash a typhoon on them. Jiraiya wouldn't stop him either, he actually hoped that Naruto would learn how to create, control, and sustain a typhoon using Raiuton. It would be incredible.
Chuckling lightly, Jiraiya decided to get some shut eye, for tomorrow, they would arrive in Japan. Jiraiya's eyes gained a worried look. He hoped that they would not find the small vessel they were a board. As Jiraiya closed his eyes one, and layed down on his back, last thought ran through his head.
" I may be a Sennin but, even I am nothing compared to a Shibito". With that he entered the bliss of sleep, entirely unaware of what lied in store for the boy sleeping a couple feet away from him tomorrow.
-The next day, afternoon, one hour away from Japan-
The misty atmosphere was the perfect cover for the boat full of escapees. They had passed the veil's boarders last night, and were so close to having a new life. The small wooden vessel had twenty refugees comprised entirely of Nuke-nin.
They all had their reasons for coming, some were only staying temporarily, waiting for heat to die down. Others were done with being wanted, done with the harsh life. They saw this as a chance to have a normal, nonviolent life. There were also some who knew of the groups of Nuke-nin in the world beyond the veil that existed in the darkest part of the underworld there, they wanted in on that business. Naruto, on the other hand, wasn't sure why he was going.
When Jiraiya had told him that they were leaving the Elemental Nations for life outside the veil, Naruto had been taken back. Thinking about it, he saw the benefits of the journey, a safe place, readily available food, water, and shelter. There was also the fact of learning Jutsu, and combat styles unseen in the land within the veil, which would give Naruto an extreme advantage over Kohona-nin.
Naruto was torn from his thoughts as a loud horn went off.
"The hell is...?"
Naruto didn't get to finish as a massive metal... Thing flickered into existence, indicating a cloaking Jutsu was used. It was twenty meters away, parallel to the ship Naruto was on. The massive metal structure was sleek, built for speed. Considering that it was floating, Naruto thought it was some kind of ship. It was at least one hundred feet long, with railing along the entirety of it's perimeter. The stern end was flat, while the bow ended in a foward facing V.
"Naruto"!
At the call of his name, the blonde turned his head behind him to see Jiraiya jogging towards him. Once Jiraiya reached Naruto, the sage glanced at the ship alongside them. He swore.
"Naruto, get your jacket, and strap on your sword," ordered Jiraiya, " if these guys are who I think they are they then, we're swapping boats cause this one's done for".
Naruto noticed that Jiraiya's body language was extremely worried, the man was fidgeting slightly, and kept his eyes on the metal ship. These guys must be dangerous to get that kind of reaction out of Jiraiya. Naruto quickly went, and gathered his hoodie, and Kubrikiribocho was tightly strapped to his back.
Once back on deck, Naruto returned to Jiraiya's side, and both resumed staring at the ship. It wasn't moving, and neither was there's. Naruto got an odd feeling that something was about to happen that would forever shape his life... Unknown to Naruto, Jiraiya was having the same feeling, and was deathly afraid of it, hoping with all his life it wouldn't happen.
Every person on board, crew and passengers, were on deck, and all had their eyes on on the side of foreign ship. An unnatural silence came upon them. No one made a sound, the wind, even the blue waves of the sea around them had quieted. The tension in air was thick, thick enough that one could cut it with a rusted, dull, kunai. They were waiting. Naruto gulped when he saw Jiraiya sweating bullets. Naruto looked at the ship again, he wanted to know who, or what, owned it. It's entire shape, and design was completely alien to him. As he stared, the feeling that his life was going to be changed returned.
Hisss!
The sound pierced the silence as a hatch opened up on the side of the foreign ship, air pushing out as the hatch moved downwards, and made a diagonal ramp connecting the two vessels. The people on deck began sweating slightly when they started hearing footsteps. The steady clang- clang of footsteps on metal started soft but slowly grew louder with each step, increasing the nervousness of the refugees. After a few lengthy minutes of waiting a figure walked out. It stared at them, and they stared back. The entire body was covered in clothes, and what seemed to be armor.
On the persons feet were black steel-toed boots, that had gray pants tucked into them. On their hips were two tan holsters that held two odd items in them. All that could be seen of the items were ivory grips surrounded by stainless steel, and triggers of some kind. Covering the figure's torso was a black turtleneck with long sleeves tucked into black gloves with small sharp spikes on the knuckles. On the person's chest was a medium-sized vest that had many pockets on it. Strapped on the figure's left wrist was a piece of metal holding six dull metal cylinders that had rounded tips with flat ends on the opposite sides.
There were light sliver, thin, metal plates wrapped around the left shoulder, enveloping the arm stopping a little before the elbow. The plates were positioned in a way that allow complete movement with limited speed -restrictions. The right arm didn't have anything on it other than something Naruto recognized as a walkie talkie albeit, a much more advance looking one strapped on. The neck was covered with bandages, and atop the unknowns head was a helmet made out of some type of non metal material covering the forehead, ears, and hair. The face was covered with a black gas mask, that had a small circular respirator where the mouth would be. Located where eyes should be was a long, half-inch thick visor made out of a blue, unknown material.
The figure was followed by two more wearing similar clothes but, with black visors instead of blue, a difference in rank perhaps? In their hands were odd objects. They had a blunt end that had a trigger mechanism on the underside of it, and were about two and a half feet long, ending in a hollow pipe of sorts on the other side. Naruto's eyebrows knit in confusion.
"What are those things? Weapons? No, they can't be. Right"? Shooting a quick glance at Jiraiya, Naruto saw the sage's eye wide with fear, his gaze fixed firmly on the objects.
"Ok this is twice now I've seen Jiraiya close to freaking out, I am officially scared of these guys".
The three figures drew close to the group stopping at about three meters away. The one with the blue visor scanned the tiny assembly of twenty Nuke-nin, and crew of five including captain.
"Ok, listen up"! Awarped voice echoed out, sending shivers down the group's spines, "you brave souls have decided to take a risk, and leave the Elemental Nations for a new, easy life"! The blue visored person lowered their head chuckling.
"You all were right about the new life,",the person congratulated in a mocking tone, "but easy? Hell no. All of you shinobi aren't top dog out here, no, out here it is the Shibito who are the fucking strongest". The sentence was said in a serious yet, playful manner as if... The figure wanted you to give a negative response. Naruto was smart enough to keep his mouth screwed shut along with most of the group.
A former nin from Kusa wasn't.
"Who the fuck do you think you are"!?
The nuke-nin pushed, and shoved his way through the crowd, earning himself many death threats, walked up to the, now identified, Shibito's concealed face. Briefly, Naruto wondered what seperates a shinobi from a Shibito, what makes them so superior? He refocused his attention on the Kusa Nuke-nin.
"What the hell kind of name is " Shibito " anyway, you guys are probably just a bunch of-" Click-click. The black visor on the left lifted the object in his hands, and pointed the hollow end at the Nuke-nin.
Two loud banging sounds were heard as the former Kusa Nin fell backwards eyes bulging out, he land with a THUD! The pipe of the left Shibito had some smoke rising out of it. The Nuke-nin on the floor lay still as blood started seeping into clothes, and two puddles started forming underneath his body. The lead Shibito grabbed the body, yanked it up by the collar, and held it out to the frozen crowd.
"What the hell kind of a world is this!?", Naruto exclaimed internally.
"Not even I can answer that", Boomed Kyūbi, "but, that perv teacher of yours seems to know based on his reaction to the presence of these..Shibito". Naruto agreed with his guest, making a mental note to beat Jiraiya for keeping him in the dark about these guys. Naruto looked at the sage next to him, observing Jiraiya stare at the... Weapons in the hands of the Shibito. The blue visored Shibito spoke again.
"Ok bastards", the leader said," Unless you want to end up like this cockbite,the body was lifted up, "get your asses on that boat"! The Shibito yelled pointing to the ship the Shibito arrived in. Everybody immediately complied. Except Naruto, he was having a internal debate with the Kitsune sealed in him.
"You are the most stupid, and insane human I have even seen!", Kyūbi roared, "what your planning is suicide"!
"You saw how fast that weapon killed that Kusa nin", Naruto shot back, "You know that eventually Kohona will find me, this is the only way"! Whatever retort the kitsune may have had didn't get to be said.
"Hey faggot", the Shibito shouted, in front of Naruto, "I know you fucking heard me, get your damn ass on that ship before I pump you fulla lead"!, the Shibito growled out, pulling out the weapon in it's right holster, putting the business end in his face, and holding him by the front of his shirt. Silence reigned once more.
The Shibito was staring at him, Naruto could feel the glare from inside the helmet. Naruto glared right back, directing his gaze into the blue visor of the Shibito. Neither said a word as both the refugees, and the other two Shibito, who were looking at each other, debating weather they should do something.
Naruto was terrified yes, but he didn't show it. He kept his eyes firmly on the Shibito in front of him. The weapon pointed at his left temple was given no mind. The Shibito chuckled darkly.
"You got more balls than most of the Nuke-nin we transport", it complimented, "usually when this happens they start begging for mercy yet, your holding your ground. Good. Shibito respect that, you'll last longer... Shinobi.
Naruto didn't relax, which the Shibito noticed.
"Seems like your a smart one too",the Shibito was now annoyed, and Naruto could hear it through the altered voice.
"You might be trouble on board", the Shibito sighed, "I was beginning to like you, oh well best to take care of something now then let it bite you in the ass. Sorry".
Naruto glanced at a horrified Jiraiya, who looked ready to charge in to intervene. Naruto couldn't let him. Signaling Jiraiya with his hand, he told Jiraiya to stand down. Jiraiya stared at him.
Naruto turned to the Shibito in front of him.
"Well that was a quick goodbye".
Naruto, and the Shibito locked gazes again. Naruto kept his glare, a million thoughts racing in his mind. Why am I doing this? Is it worth it? How is Jiraiya going to react if this works? Am I going to die?
Is this the the best way to gain the strength I need to protect myself when Konoha finds me? The Shibito broke him from his thoughts.
"Before I put a hole in your head", the Shibito started, "I'd like to know your name so I can put on your tomb stone".
Naruto looked at Jiraiya who was crying in silence. It tore Naruto apart inside despite his apathy. He then felt a fury build up within him, like a thunderstorm beginning to become a supercell. He steeled his resolve, and prepared himself. The weapon was aimed in between his eyes. It was now or never, literally do or die, and Naruto would not die, not yet, it was not his time. He kept his eyes locked on the blue visor in front of him.
The Shibito mentally shook it's head. Why was this kid doing this? It didn't matter. He dug his grave, now he gets to lay in it. Unless the Shibito was right about the look in his eyes.
The refugees closed their eyes, not wanting to see this. They were Nuke-nin yes, but they didn't desire to see a child die. They also weren't able to see other death by Shibito weapons. The Kusa Nuke-nin had his blood spilled all over the deck, and this kid's brains were about to be blown out.
Jiraiya couldn't believe this. What the fuck was Naruto thinking! He was going to die, and told Jiraiya not in stop it! Hell no! Jiraiya wouldn't let this happen, Naruto was all he had left! Yet, Jiraiya had seen the look in Naruto's eyes. What. Is. He. Plannning? Jiraiya wanted to move but he couldn't. More tears fell down his face, as he grit his teeth. He felt like a civilian going up against a kage. Move! Damn it!
"Naruto Uz"-, Naruto stopped himself. Uzumaki was the name they gave him.
"Naruto. Just Naruto, the Legacy of the Mist Demon".
"No surname? There's a story behind that, and given the look in your eyes a good one, too bad I won't hear it sounds juicy".
Click-click. Jiraiya was frozen, he closed his eyes.
"Bye-bye".
BANG!
Jiraiya screamed. Silence. The sound of something small clinking on the floor was heard... Along with a distorted gasp, and grunting.
"N-no way"!
Jiraiya opened his eyes. His heart lifted. Naruto had survived. Then he saw what Naruto was holding.
The Shibito couldn't believe it. Holding it's wrist, that held the gun, was Naruto's hand. He moved fast enough to grab the wrist, change the Shibito's aim to make it a non - lethal shot, though the blonde didn't get off scott free. The bullet grazed the top right of his skull, causing a steady stream of blood to flow, going down his eye, and dripping onto the wooden deck. Naruto was staring right at the Shibito, face angry, and eyes glaring, not showing any pain despite the amount he felt. His hand that held the gun was shaking.
The Shibito smiled underneath it's mask. It wasn't wrong about Naruto's eyes.
"He's got what it takes, all he needs... Is to start building his arsenal. I think I can help with that",the Shibito thought, knowing what to do.
Tearing their wrist out of Naruto's grip, the Shibito stared at him. Turning around the Shibito started going towards the confused black visored Shibito. Naruto calmed himself, and started walking towards a shocked Jiraiya, and a floored group of Nuke-nin. Nobody said a word. They all just waited for Naruto to join them, and then all got on the Shibito vessel.
-Thirty minutes away from Japan. Shibito vessel. Med bay-
"What the hell were you thinking"!?
Once insid the ship Jiraiya immediately dragged Naruto around, looking for medical supplies. After fifteen minutes they found a Shibito medic, identified by his white clothes, and red medical symbol on his shoulders. He had a green visor. He took the two to the med bay, spent twenty minutes switching Naruto, and checking for any signs of unseen trauma. Satisfied that there was none the medic left. Then came Jiraiya's inevitable meltdown.
"You could have died"! Jiraiya was doing a really good impression of a parent freaking out over a child playing with a match. Naruto decided to let him get it out, give the man a chance to calm down, and then explain his reasons. Naruto hoped Jiraiya wouldn't freak out too much. This was necessary.
Jiraiya stopped yelling, and looked at Naruto with a serious expression.
"Why did you grab the gun?", Jiraiya asked, "you should have dodged, not grab the gun".
Naruto looked up at him, confused. What was wrong with grabbing the gun?
Seeing Naruto's face, Jiraiya sighed.
"I should have told you last night about the Shibito, I just hopped we wouldn't run into them".
Jiraiya looked at the metallic wall of the Med bay, seeing a calendar.
"2017, Damn it's been seventy - one years since they've started. Gosh, I feel odd".
Naruto smiled a bit in amusement, his midnight eyes brightening by the smallest degree before they reverted back to their normal darkness. A question came to mind.
"Seventy - one years since what"?
Jiraiya turned to answer but, he was beat to it.
"World War Two, and the creation of the Shibito".
Naruto, and Jiraiya turned to see the Shibito that held Naruto at gunpoint. Naruto tensed, putting his hand on Kubrikiribocho's handle, and Jiraiya got ready for a fight. He would not risk Naruto again!
However, their actions proved unnecessary when the Shibito lifted their hands up in a surrendering way.
"Calm the fuck down, the Shibito request annoyed, "If I wanted pay back,I would have btought my HK-21. The Shibito saw Naruto's face. After facepalming, it explained.
"A big gun that fires big bullets". Naruto understood that, giving a nod., then ask a question, one that deserved an answer.
"What was World War Two"?
The Shibito looked at Jiraiya.
"Since I am a resident of this part of the world, and have been educated in it's history, it is only proper I explain this, and it's connection to Shibito".
"Sure go on ahead, I know only the basic knowledge".
The Shibito nodded, then reached up, and removed the helmet on the top of it's head, letting upper back - length plum colored hair fall down. The Shibito then removed the gas mask, revealing a beautiful woman's face, that had a tan complexion. She looked to be in her early twenties. Naruto had a light blush, while Jiraiya had a perverted grin on his face.
"Whew", the woman's rough, yet feminine voice sounded, "you have no idea how fucking hot it is with those on". The woman opened her amber eyes, and looked at the two.
"I don't mind your seeing", she stated pointing at Naruto, "but, you on the other hand", she pointed to Jiraya, "you get the fuck out".
Flabbergasted Jiraiya sputtered.
"Why should I leave you alone with Naruto"!? Jiraiya knew why. He just didn't want it to happen
The woman gave Jiraiya a neutral look, and retorted in a monotone voice, "you know why, he", she jerked her gloved hand at Naruto, "grabbed my gun. You may not know much old man but, you know exactly what that means".
Naruto was annoyed. What the hell were they talking about damn it! All he did was grab the damn gun!
"If you don't leave, and go to your quarters", the woman growled out, ready to hurt Jiraiya, " I will fucking kill you". Seeing Jiraiya still there the woman released her KI.
The entire ship felt it, all of the non - Shibito were on the floor gasping, and crying, some even fainting or, losing control over their bodily functions. Jiraiya had it the worst. He was on the ground, eyes rolled into his skull. He was twitching, and had foam coming out of his mouth. Naruto, who oddly wasn't affected, moved to help him but, was stopped by the woman. Before he could say anything she spoke.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine, the doctor's on his way". Naruto flipped.
"What the hell"?!
"Bastard brought it on himself, wouldn't fucking listen", she started exiting but, then turned head to Naruto.
"Hey faggot, ya want answers"? Naruto slowly nodded.
'"Then get your ass in gear, and follow me"!
Naruto looked at Jiraiya, and mentally apologized for getting him into this situation. He then followed the female Shibito to wherever she wanted to take him, also wondering what she by "didn't mind him seeing"? He felt a shiver of anticipation run up his spine when the woman stopped walking to open a door, letting him in first. What Naruto didn't see was look down both hallways boefore shutting the door, and locking it, along with turning on privacy seals.
"So this is her room ". The woman had, apparently, brought him to her room. What tipped him off? She started stripping out of her clothes, that's what.
A ferocious blush came on Naruto's face when the woman removed her vest, and turtleneck. Underneath those was a extremely curvy body, and well - endowed breasts, covered by a black tank top that didn't cover bellybutton showing just how toned she was. He saw the massive tatoo engulfing her entire upper right arm. She unfastened the holsters on her waist a little bit so she could take off her cargo pants. Naruto then got an eye full of her long, slender legs, and wide, flaring hips. It didn't help that her jeans were cut up to her crotch. All in all, one thought ran through Naruto's head. She. Is. Hot! Her eyes were closed the entire time she was undressing, so she couldn't see Naruto giving her the eye.
She did say though, she didn't mind him seeing. Could this be why she did not want Jiraiya to come? It probably was given the type of grin he had when she removed her helmet. Yeah, it definitely was. Naruto decided to keep this moment to himself.
"Better not say anything or, she'll think I'm a perv, and kill me", Naruto decided, rather liking the idea of keeping his body free of holes. Too bad for him she did know. The woman smirked mentally.
"Oh, looks like he wants this", the Shibito wasn't stupid, she could feel his gaze. She thought about the look in his eys when they were staring each other down. The defiance, and darkness in his eyes. The steel will they conveyed...She banished the thoughts that threatened to form before they started. She needed to foucus, business first, act on instinct later, the old perv would be out for twenty hours meaning Naruto would have to spend the night on board. The plum - haired woman almost grinned. Act on instinct later, first; explain to the brat WW2, and it's connection to the Shibito, then proceed with protocol when a shinobi grabs a Shibito's gun.
"Ok, brat", the woman started, "let's do this quickly, I don't want to be here all fucking day explaining shit to you so I'll just tell ya want important. Got it"?
"Hai, Shibito - san".
"Drop the goddamn honorifics", she started in a dry tone, with a dull look on her face.
"The only time a Shibito uses those things is when we're talking to a Dom M.E.T.A., call me Revy".(AN: Yes, it is that Revy! I don't own Black Lagoon.)
Naruto sighed in relief, "thank you, I hate using those bloody things, they make me feel old".
That make Revy laugh.
"Good one", she complimented, then her face, tone grew serious.
"Sit down, and get comfortable, this might take a while".
Naruto decided to sit the floor with his legs crossed, and Kubrikiribocho laying next to him. He took his jacket off, showing the red t - shirt he wore. It also showed his toned arms, a testament to his ability to carry the massive zanbato. Revy was atop her bed, hands, and feet bare.
"Pay attention, I'm only gonna say this once, and I ain't fucking repeating", Revy told Naruto, who nodded, and foucused on her.
Revy took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette, taking a long drag. She tilted her head up, and expelled the smoke.
"Seventy - seven years ago there was a war that managed to involve almost every single country in this world", Revy began her explanation, "this war is what we now call World War Two, since it is the second war to involve all of the major world powers here". Revy took another drag. Exhaling, she stared at Naruto.
"One of the countries involved was Japan. They were on the losers side, however", Revy leaned foward, "six months before the war ended they made a discovery, one that changed the world". She leaned back.
"While on patrol, a Japanese Navy vessel found the sinking wreckage of a small wooden transport boat the kind, that unknown to them, is used in the Elemental Nations". Naruto felt his heart rate start to climb. Were the Shibito...?
"While the boat sank", Revy continued, leaning back, knowing exactly what Naruto was thinking, "It's passenger did not, he walked on the water to patrolling ship, astonishing it's crew. They immediately brought him to their leader, back then Japan had an Emporer". Revy paused to take a drag from her cigarette. Once more she exhaled.
"At first, the Emporer wanted to execute the crew, and the man, thinking that the crew was shit-faced when they found the guy so, he ordered his samurai to kill them. They killed the crew, but when they tried to kill the man, he reacted in a very violent way", Revy told Naruto with a sadistic smile, and a psychotic look in her eyes. Naruto felt himself tense.
"He painted the floor crimson with those samurai, even used a low level jutsu or two, and only stopped when the Emporer clapped in approval. Walking up to the man, the Emporer had a proposal, "fight for Japan, and after the war is over, your reward would be amazing", of course the man took it after all", Revy decided to drop the bomb on her guest.
"What kind of Nuke-nin wouldn't?", she asked a wide-eyed Naruto with a sly smirk. Before Naruto could ask a question Revy cut him off.
"The nuke-nin was then asked a whole lot of questions, how was he able to move that fast? Where was he trained? How was he able to command the elements? Were there others like him? Were did he hail from?", Revy stopped to take a breath, "eventually after three months of planning, and trading information, it was time to send the nuke-nin on the battlefield". Revy's creepy smile, and psychotic look grew as she got off her bed, and got on her knees, and hands, giving Naruto a great view of he cleavage. She positioned her head right next to his ear. He could feel her hot breath on his skin. What the fuck was she doing?! Trying to kill him by making all his blood flow down?! If so, than it most certainly is working!
"He performed beautifully", Revy sensually whispered, causing him to shiver, much to Revy's silent amusement. He was so fun to fluster!
Revy then pulled her head back, and grabbed Naruto's scarlet face, and pulled it close to hers their eyes, and lips, a mere inch apart. Her amber orbs bored into his chunks of the dark night sky. Silence was between them, Naruto had gotten control over his face, and gave Revy a vicious glare. Her response was a smile, and an odd compliment.
"I love your eyes".
"What does that have to do with anything?", Naruto growled, temper starting to flare.
Revy kept smiling.
"I really do love them, or rather what's inside them".
"What the hell are you talking about"?
"The darkness, and pain within them is amazing", Revy revealed, "I... I have never seen anything like them. Tell me, are you a jinchuuriki", she asked with a knowing smirk. He was screwed.
Naruto knew better to lie to her.
"Yes..."
She tackled him him to the ground, and pressed her body against his, and placed her face next to his ear again, her arms holding his down by the wrists in a vice-grip.
"Which one"?
"... Kyūbi". Revy giggled in a low, creepy way before deciding to continue her explanation.
"I hope you don't mind but I'm much comfortable right now so we'll continue with the history lesson like this ok".
All Naruto could do was nod, knowing he should have stayed with Jiraiya, and not go with this crazy bitch.
" The Japanese were about to send the nuke-nin against a country on the opposite side, the U.S.A., when they got the biggest suprise of their lives when their nuke-nin was sent back with a note saying that basically said "fuck you, we have our own nuke-nin now. We're going to fuck you up", after that the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Nagasaki, and Hiroshima two months later ending the war", her voice had lowered, and become sultry.
"After the war, the two nuke-nin the U.S had went their separate ways, due to a disagreement between them, one was keen on using only Shinobi tactics, and weapons while the other wanted to combine the various types of combat that existed in this world with the ways of the shinobi. He was the first shinobi to pick up a gun, and use it in battle". It was starting to click in Naruto's head.
"Three years went by, then the two nuke-nin met once more, for one last fight", Revy removed her head from Naruto's ear, and was once more in Naruto's face, their less than an inch apart. Naruto was starting to worry Revy was going to rape him after she finished her explanation.
"The nuke-nin who believed in keeping tradition got his ass handed to him on a fucking golden plater, encrusted with diamonds", Revy's smile turned into a crazed grin, her fingernails cutting into his wrists. Naruto did not make a sound, knowing that if he showed weakness, things may go south. Real south.
"The winning nuke-nin, the one who adapted to the world, he no longer felt that shinobi was a fitting name for what he was", Revy's gaze burrowed into his.
"He decided to call what he had become-"
"Shibito", Naruto finished for her, much to Revy's delight.
"I knew you were a smart one", she complimented, "but it's gonna take a hell of alot more than that if your going to be one of us".
"What are you talking about", Naruto demanded, then it dawned on him.
""You mean", he started off, anticipation building. Was it really this easy? Had his plan worked?
"That's right, you little bastard", Revy confirmed, getting off of Naruto, and standing up.
"After the nuke-nin lost, to the first Shibito the two went their separate ways, yet again however,"Revy paused to help Naruto up into standing position, "the nuke-nin was pretty fucking pissed that he lost, so, like a pussy, he returned to the Elemental Nations to gather reinforcements to attack the Shibito".
Revy giggled again in the same creepy way, sending shivers down Naruto's spine.
"He got five A-rank, and one low S-rank nuke-nin to help, and it didn't do shit, the Shibito just ended up putting holes in them, sparing his "rival", Revy said the word with heavy sarcasm, "as an insult to him".
"Ok, how does this-" WHAM! THUD! "Ow, that fucking hurt"! Revy had given Naruto a mean right hook for interrupting her.
"Shut the fuck up till I finish or I'm cutting off your dick!", Revy snarled, holding a rather larger knife. Naruto paled, and immediately complied, causing the plum - haired woman to smirk.
"As I was saying before a little shit interrupted", Revy gave Naruto the evil eye,"the Shibito decided to also gather followers. In fact, pretty soon both the Shibito, and nuke-nin had assembled large groups, which at first worried this world until the country of Great Britain came up with an idea, they proposed letting the Shibito, nuke-nin stay- in exchange for doing missions for the governments of the world which both factions agreed too". Revy suddenly grabbed Naruto, and slammed him on her bed, pinning him down with her body.
"Soon", Revy continued as though nothing happened, "the nuke-nin, and Shibito started fucking, and growing in numbers, there are now about 630,243,117 Shibito, and nuke-nin in this world combined, with the majority being Shibito". She paused to let the information sink in.
"Soon, both factions started making hidden societies in this, with only the rich, and governments knowing of their existence. The Shibito are more or, less bands of mercenaries in every country, all fighting for territory. I myself am part of the group Lagoon Company, we have over 300 members". Revy paused for a breath.
'It's our turn to look patrol the waters of the veil, picking up whatever refugees we find, the Dom M.E.T.A of Japan ordered it actually", the woman had an expression of remembrance on her face. Naruto looked perplexed, and interested. Dom M.E.T.A? He recalled his captor saying it once before. Seeing Naruto's face Revy explained.
"There are four classifications of Shibito, first is the regular Shibito, second, the Greater Shibito, third, M.E.T.A class Shibito, and finally Dom M.E.T.A Shibito, they are the head Shibito of a single country, lead the most powerful group, and are the strongest Shibito in their country. Understand"? Naruto nodded, greatly interested, and somewhat frightened of these Dom M.E.T.A. He couldn't imagine someone that powerful to be able to rule an entire country.
Revy decided to stop the history lesson. She couldn't tell him everything, somethings about Shibito were meant to be discovered. Besides, now it was time to tell him the significance of him grabbing her gun.
"Naruto", she started seriously, getting his attention, "you may have wondered why the nuke-nin are weaker than Shibito if they also have access to guns, it's simple. A nuke-nin will not pick up a gun, they don't even want to touch them". Naruto was confused. Why not?
"It's not that they're afraid of guns", Revy started again, "no, it's a matter of pride. Even though we Shibito keep kicking their asses, the nuke-nin refuse to use guns since, to them, a gun is a handicap. A gun, still to them, is also an insult to nuke-nin due to it standing for our kind. However", once more she leaned in agonizingly close.
"They have seen what guns have done to us, and the price we pay for our power. A regular Shibito is at the same level as an S-rank shinobi who is borderline SS-rank". Naruto couldn't believe it! The typical run of the mill Shibito was stronger the most Kage!? What a minute. What was the price? Revy answered not a moment later.
"The price we pay... Is our sanity".
Naruto's entire body went cold as his blood froze. The price... Was sanity!?
"The stronger, and more powerful a Shibito get the more of their sanity they run the possibility of losing" Revy stared tracing shapes on Naruto's clothed chest, scaring him.
"I have lost about sixty five percent of my sanity", she openly admitted as if it didn't matter, "I'm a class Greater Shibito". Naruto really was ready to shit his pants. This chick was stronger than S-rank shinobi, was mostly bonkers, and had an explosive temper. They didn't even have words to describe how fucked he is if makes her go boom!
"Naruto", Revy broke through his thoughts,"I know your terrified but, it's actually not that bad, we Shibito care for each other, it's why we have groups. We know that talking to those who like us helps us stay sane. It's time though, you grabbed my gun. It's time to chose". She gave him a look that clearly said "This is a life altering decision".
"Chose now, are you going to stay Shinobi, or are you going to brave the risks, and embrace the ways of the Shibito? It's your choice". Naruto then heard the Kyūbi.
"Naruto... This isn't a simple choice. It's not like deciding a high-ranking mission or choosing a dangerous opponent to fight, this has your sanity, your very life, on the line", it warned, " I won't say anything more. This decision is yours, not mine, not Jiraiya's, not Kohona's, this is yours".
The kitsune left, having said it's piece.
Naruto's mind was a proverbial maelstrom of thoughts. Is this worth it? Can I really risk my sanity? How much of it am I willing to pay? What if lose it all? Will Jiraiya even want to be around me? He than asked himself a question that he did earlier that day.
Is this the the best way to gain the strength I need to protect myself when Konoha finds me? Naruto thought about everything that the residents of that hell hole put him through. All the sadness, rage, anger, sorrow... Betrayal...
Naruto knew what he had to do. To was the only way.
"Revy", Naruto started, his voice determined. Full of piss, and vigor.
He then said the words that would forever change him.
"I accept. I will become a Shibito".
His reply was a smile. And the woman smashing her mouth against his plunging her tongue past his lips. They stayed like that for thrity seconds. Him to shocked too move, while her tongue roamed his mouth. She seperated.
"Shibito believe that you have to have experienced sex at least once, because once your a Shibito, you forever have other Shibito after you", she explained to a red Naruto. He suddenly heard a zipper go down. His eyes went down to see Revy's hand in his pants. What the hell!? He's only thirteen, and she's at least twenty!? Oh, wait... Sixty five percent insane.
"Let's get started. After this, I'll give you two things to remember me by", the woman promised then smirked," though after this, you're always going to remember me". With that the time for talking was over.
(AN: No lemon for you! I'm not ready for one of those!)
-Next day. ten am-
Naruto opened his eyes. He was sore, feeling the effects of last night, with a faint blush. He could still feel her teeth on his skin.
An arm pulled his face to an awaiting set of lips.
This time, he immediately responded. It lasted for a minute before they parted.
"Look at you", Revy smirked, " last night you were a fucking blushing mess, and now your sucking face like a pro. Damn I'm good!"
The two climbed out of her bed, stretching their aching bodies. Naruto found that he had at least five bite marks on his body, concentrated around his scared back.
"I really do think that your back is fucking sexy", Revy called from across the room, putting on her clothes, boots, and guns.
Naruto also was getting dressed, "Thanks", he replied nonchalantly.
"Your perv companion should be awake, and is probably tearing apart this fucking ship looking for you" Revy stated, as if not important, "I'll take you to him, and then I'll give those two things I said I would last night, k?"
"Sure, long as last night statys our secret", Naruto responded. Revey walked over to him with a grin before cupping his cheek.
"You really were an amazing lover.. For a beginner", she teased before giving him a last tongue filled kiss. Naruto took the time to play with Revy's tits, much to the woman's pleasure, while they made out. If only Naruto's bastard ex-team could see him now.
-Konaha. Uchiha compound-
Sasuke woke up furious!
"Damn you Naruto! I've lost to you for the second time!" Sasuke was livid.
"How the fuck do you end up loosing your virginity first"!
-Haruno compound -
"Naruto... I'll kill you for loosing your virginity!", a pink-haired banshee screeched.
"Stop trying to impress me"!(AN: Naruto screwed Revy... You aren't even in his subconscience anymore)
-Hatake compound-
Kakashi couldn't believe it ... He played favorites with the wrong student!
"Naruto", the cyclops cried, waterfalls streaming down his face, " foooorrrrgiiiiivvvvvveeeeee mmmmmmeeeeeee"!
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh", a worthless stalker's voice cried, "someone stole Naruto's innocence! That was supposed to be mine! I'll murder her"!(AN:have fun dying bitch)
-back to Naruto, and Revy-
The two seperated, with odd looks on their faces. Naruto's hands were still under Revy's shirt, massaging her massive breasts.
"Ok", Revy started, "do you know if you had a stalker? Cause I felt one vowing to kill me".
Naruto tried to remember, he recalled someone with a indigo hair, and lavender eyes. Naruto tried remembering her name. Nope. Nothing. Nada.
"I think I did", Naruto answered unsure, "but I can't remember her name".
"Meh", Revy shrugged it off, " I'll just kill her if she tries me. Now get back to rubbing my tits, and I'll let you fuck me one last time". Naruto complied.
An hour late, the two found Jiraiya on deck in the fetal position, holding what appeared to be a photograph of a young Naruto, muttering, "I'm sorry", over, and over. Naruto was in a different pair of the clthes he's been in for the past six months, Revy was in her normal clothes. The ship was docked. It was time to say goodbye.
"Well", Naruto began, "I'll see you later".
"Hey brat", Revy called, "I haven't given you my parting gifts yet, close your eyes". Naruto did as instructed. He heard a belt unclasp, and felt something wrap around his waist followed by a clasp. He felt two weights hangIng on his sides.
"Ok, open them".
When he did, Naruto was astounded. On his hips were the exact same guns Revy had. Two modified Beretta 92fs. He looked up to thank her, than he noticed that her weapons were missing from her person.
"No way, she didn't...".
"Yes Naruto", Revy confirmed, closing her eyes, smiling, and putting her hand up to rest her head on her fingertips, "those are mine, you've done nothing but, impress me, and I can see it in your eyes, you're going to go fucking far as a Shibito. Those two are going to be the start of your firearm collection".
Naruto didn't know what to say so he merely nodded in thanks, turning to retrieve his mourning guardian. Revy saw Naruto kick Jiraiya in the head, and chuckled as she saw the perv bear hug the blonde. Her chuckling turned into amused laughter when Naruto took out one of the cutlasses, pointing it in a shocked Jiraiya's face. The site made everything click into Jiraiya's head. He returned to fetal position, hold a baby photo of Naruto saying "I'm sorry", vigorously, much too Naruto's annoyance. Eventually, Naruto started dragging the older man by his leg.
It wouldn't be until an hour later that Revy remember something critical that she hadn't taken the time to tell Naruto of.
"Shit! Shit! Shit", she cursed, hands pulling on her hair, "I forgot to teach him how to even load the damn things! Fffffffuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkk"!
-Two days later. Shinto Teito. Maison Izumo.-
Aftet buying a book on firearm safety, and handling, Naruto, and Jiraiya found themselves in front of a boarding house in the early night. Jiraiya hadn't accepted Naruto's decision too become a Shibito but, he didn't stop him either. Naruto's reasons made scense, so Jiraiya was going to try to help him achieve his new goal. A day before they came to Shinto Teito, they were found by a Shibito who gave Naruto a cell phone, telling him that on it there's a number that'll show Naruto where to go in the city for Shibito training.
"Naruto", Jiraiya turned to his charge, " I'm going to see is you can stay here for while, don't worry I know the owners, so unlike the population of this world they know about shinobi, and Shibito". Naruto relaxed at that.
Jiraiya knocked twice.
"I'm coming", a feminine voice called from within.
The sound of a door unlocking, and opening was heard.
Standing at the doorway was a woman of unearthly beauty. Her garb consisted of a traditional miko consisting of purple hakama, a white haori with a sash for a belt, with wooden sandles. She had fair skin, and brown eyes, her was waist - length, and her short bangs were in hime style. She recognized Jiraiya right away inviting them in.
Jiraiya asked Naruto if he wanted to sleep, which the teenager was grateful for. He hadn't exactly processed his time becoming a Shibito throughly yet, and he had a lot on his mind. He had plans he needed to make, thing to learn. Naruto would start it tomorrow. He was showed to room by the inn owner, Miya if he remembered correctly, after thanking Naruto removed his clothes, and weapons, laying Kubrikiribocho next to him.
"Goodnight", Naruto told the blade, "tomorrow we start a new life".
"Chu chu ha ha "
"Miya it's good to see you again-"
"Jiraiya", Miya demanded, "tell me? Why is that child's eyes... Exactly the same as that thing's".
Jiraiya knew exactly what Miya meant, and he didn't like it.
"Don't you dare compare Naruto to that woman", Jiraiya growled at Miya, shocking her. She knew she made a mistake then.
"I'm sorry", Miya apologized, "these past few months have been hard". Jiraiya sighed, rubbing his eyes with using his hands.
"Trust me, I know", he stated, then looked around, "hey... Where's Takehito"?
Tears started running down Miya's face as she told Jiraiya. After her tale he was crestfallen.
"Damn it...He didn't have too sacrifice himself ", Jiraiya swore, "Miya if you need anything I'm here... Permanently".
The woman wiped her tears with her sleeve, thanking Jiraiya. Then her eyes grew curious, permanently?
"Jiraiya", why are you here", Miya inquired, "who is that boy? Please, tell why his eyes reflect the darkness of midnight itself"?
Jiraiya sighed, "Miya, get comfortable,this is gonna take a few".
He told her everything. Naruto's life, Jiraiya, and Dai's watching him from the shadows, Naruto's betrayal by Konoha, what Jiraiya knew of Naruto's time alone as a nuke-nin. He even told her of Naruto's recently becoming a Shibito. It left her shell - shocked. Once more Miya was crying.
"How could they.., do that to a child", she sniffled out, her head turning to the direction Naruto's room was.
"I know", Jiraiya growled, still angry about it, his fist clenching, "Miya... I know you might not be ready for this but I need someone to watch him. Naruto's unstable", Jiraiya admitted the last part sadly, "he hides it well but, his eyes are all the proof needed".
Miya stared at Jiraiya. He was a mess. He had large, dark rings around his eyes, and under them were big bags. His hair was messier than usual, and his clothes were dirty. Jiraiya needed a break. Miya remembered how she first met Jiraiya.
It was fifthteen years ago. Takehito had found him bleeding, on the surface of the water near Kamikura Island. After fishing him out of the water, and giving him a few days to recover, the man immediately shocked them with his powers. Soon, Jiraiya had become friends with Takehito, and Miya eventually warmed up to him... Even if Jiraiya was the one who corrupted Matsu, and turned her into a pervert. Damn Icha Icha.
Jiraiya was starting to dall asleep when Miya got out of memory lane. She looked at him, turned to the room where the extremely scared child slept, and remembered his story. As much as it hurt her to admit, she hadn't suffered a fraction of what Naruto had.
"Jiraiya", she called a bit loudly, enough to wake him up. He jumped a bit, then looked at Miya, seeing the determined look on her face.
"Naruto can stay as long as he pleases", she declared, "but, I want to try to help him".
Jiraiya smiled lightly, Miya was in for it.
'Miya..", Jiraiya shook his head, "you have your work cut out for you, try not to push too hard, or you'll lose him, and don't interfere with his Shibito business".
Miya was about to object when Jiraiya raised his hand.
"He knows what he's doing, I don't like it but, I'm willing to trust him on this".
Miya looked uncertain but, she trusted Jiraiya's judgment on serious matters.
She stood up.
"It's late", she told Jiraiya, "stay here tonight, tomorrow we'll talk more".
Telling Jiraiya good night, Miya went to her own bed, thinking about how she could help Naruto. She saw the monster that was forming within him. She wanted to stop it before it seized control because what she saw...
