Disclaimer I do not own Naruto or Gate – Thus the JSDF fought there.
Sorry for the late Chapter guys, I just got released from the hospital. I told you that I'm battling against Pneumonia. So far I am fine now, and got released. Sorry for making you wait, please leave lots of reviews and no flaming please.
Chapter Start.
Naruto sat at the front seat on one of the transportation vehicles, a Komatsu Light armored Vehicle. He was currently wearing the standard JSDF Military Uniform with few added patches signifying his rank, on his right thigh was a holster with silver colt 1911 (.45 ACP) and on the back of his waist was a silver SMITH and WESSON 500 MAGNUM slung sideways with longer casing, on his front hanging on his stomach was a brownish with black casings assault rifle, it is an M4 Carbine with fixed scope with a fixed M320 grenade launcher and hand grips. Lastly on his back was his favorite rifle that has been gifted to him by the prime minister the first time he joined the JGSDF.
It is an silver with brown casings Winchester 1873 lever action rifle. It was an old fashion rifle/sniper but was the most, easiest rifle for him to use. And on his front standing proudly was his CHEYTAC M200 INTERVENSION sniper, it the sniper that gave him the world record of shooting 4000 yards away. It was during the time when he was assigned to Iraq when they infiltrate a terrorist hideout, he used it to snipe an official inside an armored vehicle then another two inside a bunker and the last three sitting near a mortar. That gave him the title as the world deadliest sniper.
Sitting beside him driving the vehicle was a young man with short black hair and a skinny build, he has short cropped hair and a pair of black eyes, he was wearing the standard JSDF uniform and has an Howa type 64 rifle on his side.
Behind them sitting anxiously is a cute petite girl with small frame and chestnut brown hair tied in a small side ponytail, she was wearing the standard JSDF uniform with the same rifle on her, the thing that stands the most about her is that despite her small frame she has a pair of huge knockers and slim waist.
He accidently touched it during their training session, he was kind of glad she didn't get mad for groping her.
Then sitting in front of her was another girl, but this one has a look of a natural Yamato Nadeshiko, a girl with beautiful black hair and a pair of gentle eyes and has the perfect stature. She was wearing the same uniform as them and was carrying the same rifle as the others.
On the roof manning the machine gun, was an older looking man with broad shoulders and has a look of calmness on his face wearing the same uniform with his rifle slung on his back.
Behind them two other vehicles was following them.
"Man, the sky is so clear." The driver praised with a smile on his face "I wonder when will I see a cat girl you too right Captain?" he sighed with a blissful smile.
"Shut up Kurata, don't bother the Captain." The petite girl on the back reprimand with a scowl.
"Come on Kuribayashi, let me have some fun! There's no way a hot blooded man would not be excited from seeing a girl with cat ears and cat tails right Captain!?" Kurata exclaimed with a grin on his face while Naruto faced away and put his chin on his knuckles.
"Not really, I don't understand what's so good about them, after all the only difference they had is their cat ears and tails, they are still the same as us. It's just like meeting other people with extra features." Naruto responded while Kurata squaked with a look of disbelief as if Naruto said something blasphemous.
"See, I told you the captain isn't an otaku like you." Kuribayashi quipped with a grin on her face while doing a weird motion with her hand.
"Now, now you two, you are bothering the captain." The other girl reprimanded with a gentle smile on her face.
"Heh see, even Mari-san says so." Kuribayashi pointed as if she wasn't being reprimanded.
"Hmp, she's talking about the both of us not only me." Kurata scowled while Naruto released a soft chuckle, at least they get along just fine. Though this makes him remember all those times he spent with his former team, that brought a bitter smile on his face s he was overcome by nostalgia.
Everyone inside the vehicle turned silent when they saw the look on his face, before Kuribayashi leaned towards Mari.
"What do you think the captain is thinking?" she whispered while glancing at Naruto.
"I don't know, maybe his former team. I heard that they were all…" Mari didn't finish not wanting to remind Naruto of that certain incident with him losing his team mates from the hands of a certain terrorist leader.
"…"
Everyone kept silent while they watched their captain had a trip down memory lane.
"Captain!" Akira's voice cut through their silence snapping Naruto out of his memory trip "I can see a Village!"
Everyone turned to look at the front and true to Akira's claim they can see a Village with a strange markings in it.
They stopped in front of it and unmanned the vehicle while the other vehicles following them stopped to take a look.
"Okay! Boys, don't do anything rash and act natural! We wouldn't want to scare these people by you acting like goons understand!?" Naruto commanded with a stern tone while the villagers was looking at them while his troops barked with a 'Roger'.
Naruto turned towards them before he pulled a book from his pocket, only taking a few glance at it before he closed it and re-pocketed it.
"Hello there." Everyone from the JSDF turned to look at Naruto in disbelief as he spoke a complete different language, probably the language that these people use and he spoke it so fluently as if he was a citizen of this world.
"Wow, captain is so amazing. He managed to learn this world's language with just studying that book for 2 days." Kuribayashi whispered to Mari who was nodding her head with a smile on her face .
"Can I see the Village chief here?" Naruto asked as he stood in front of a female villager who nodded her head and pointed at a short chubby man with balding head.
"He's the village leader."
The village leader walked towards him.
"What can I do for you mister?" the village leader trailed off not knowing the name of the stranger in front of him.
"Naruto." He turned his head and saw the people gathering their things while several carriages was being readied "Are you evacuating?"
The chief nodded his head "Yes, earlier we saw a fire dragon fly overheard. A fire dragon is known for its thirst of destroying villages, we won't be safe here. thankfully the dragon didn't notice us and as he had his eyes set somewhere, but we didn't want to wait for them to appear."
"A dragon?" Naruto looked a bit surprised, okay that's a fantasy like being but not so surprising since he already saw a different kind of dragons. "Just how exactly this dragon is different to other kinds of dragon?"
The village chief hummed "Well the fire breathing dragon is a lot larger than a normal dragon, and had skin so thick that a sword couldn't even pierce it." The chief explained with a troubled expression, if a fire dragon decided to attack them then it would be impossible for them to fight back. "But it is strange that it didn't attack us after flying over us earlier."
Naruto narrowed his eyes while a frown marring his face, before his eyes widened when he had a sudden realization. He immediately grab the chiefs shoulder and leaned forward surprising the man.
"Tell me! Is there a settlement or a village near here!? a village surrounded by forest and trees!?" Naruto asked hurriedly while the man nodded his head with a look of shock on his face at the sudden change of attitude of the man in front of him.
"Yes, there is a creak ahead of here with a stream, if you follow it you will come by a forest and in that forest is a village called Kowan village, it's an elf oriented village. The houses there are made of trees and wooden structures." The chief explained and after that Naruto immediately turned around and rush towards the vehicle.
"Akira man the turret! Kurata you drive, Mari, Kuribayashi you come with us." He ordered surprising the others but obeyed nonetheless while the others looked at him waiting for command "You guys on the other hand I want you to stay with them and help them pack their things and evacuate, bring them to the base and tell them I said so! We have bigger trouble now. We'll meet the valley a few miles away from here understand!?"
"Hai!" Everyone of them saluted at him before he entered the vehicle along with his team.
"What's going on Captain!?" Kurata asked as he drove away and heading to the location Naruto told him, Mari and Kuribayashi was looking at him anxiously wondering what he learned from the Village chief that made him like this.
"Earlier, the chief told me a dragon flew overhead them, apparently this dragon is much more different that the one we encounter in Japan, it is a lot bigger and has the ability to breath fire. Its skin is so tough that even swords cannot pierce it, if my deduction is correct then that thing has a body stronger than a tank if not as strong." Naruto explained while the others looked on in shock before shaking it off.
"But why are we going to this village captain?" Kuribayashi asked as she leaned forward with her hands on the back of his seat.
A sudden look of worry filled Naruto's face "The thing is, he said that every time that fire dragons appears, it would destroy every village it see's but I'm confused as to why it didn't attack the village earlier. He told me that the dragon looked as if it had its eyes set upon something." He turned to Kuribayashi with a grim look "The chief told me that the village of Kowan is a village surrounded by forest and was made of wooden structures, if that is true then the dragon is headed there."
"Why? What are you basing this from captain?" Akira from above asked while Naruto stuck his head out of the window and saw the giant dragon flying towards Kowan village.
"Because he is a fire dragon who breath fire! Woods and leaves attracts fire! So a village covered in nothing but woods and forest, it must be a trigger to him! It's like the color red to a raging bull! Because it is covered in woods it would be easier to burn! And that's what got its attention!" Naruto responded as he started taking the safety pins of his rifles and put an grenade ammo in the grenade launcher of his gun.
"I-I see…" Kuribayashi took a seat with a look of shock on her face while Mari was looking at Naruto in awe.
'A-amazing, to think that he deduced all that just from hearing all those things. No wonder he is regarded as one of Japan's best and was favored by the minister.' Thought Mari as she looked at Naruto, she was snapped out of her thoughts when Naruto turned to them.
"Okay listen, if what the chief told us is true and that thing cannot be pierced by a sword, then our guns wouldn't work against it." He explained while Kurata turned to him.
"Then how are we going to kill it?" Kurata asked while Naruto nodded his head.
"We won't kill it, we will drive it away then lure it to the valley where we will meet with the others, I'll signal them and inform them of what is going to happen, remember target its eyes no matter what. Do not waste bullets on its body, it won't work so aim for the eye." Naruto commanded while Kuribayashi smirked.
"Eyes huh, the universal weakness, no matter how hard that thing is, there is no way its eyes would be as hard as his skin." Kuribayashi mussed with a smirk while Naruto nodded, they just passed the forest and saw the dragon landed on the ground of the village with several people shooting arrows at it.
He could see a blonde man running with a blonde girl, probably siblings.
"Don't leave the vehicle, Kurata circle it! Shoot it from the windows! Akira, aim for the eye but don't shoot wait for my signal!" he ordered receiving a bark of 'roger' as Kurata immediately circled it earning the attention of the elves and the dragon.
Naruto pointed his grenade launcher at the dragon and shot it, hitting it on the legs eliciting a roar of rage.
"Now!"
Everyone started shooting with their rifles with Akira using the turret, Naruto immediately pulled out his rifle and started shooting at it using the scope to aim for the eye while the dragon tried to shield its eye.
"ROAAAR!" It roared in fury and pain as it got hit on its right eye, which made it realize that its life would be in danger if it didn't escape. Survival instincts kicking in, it immediately flew away.
"Good, it worked." Naruto ordered Kurata to stop the car as he exited the vehicle while the Elves immediately pointed their bows at him.
"Wait!" a blonde masculine elf wearing a blue robe with white undershirt and a blue belt tying it walk towards them while commanding the archers to lower their bows. He stopped in front of Naruto "I thank you for helping us, I am not delusional enough to say that we can handle the dragon ourselves, our magic and weapons didn't even scratch it. And yet you drove it away with those weird magic of yours. Once again I thank you, you have our tribe deepest gratitude."
Naruto shook his head "No, it's alright we immediately head straight here when we found out that the Dragon will attack this settlement."
"But how did you know it would attack us?" He asked suspiciously while Naruto chuckled not even being intimidated by the look of the elves that sending him.
"A village surrounded by a forest, houses hanging on trees, it's practically the perfect target for that dragon. We asked the Coda village chief about this place and immediately deduced that it will attack here." Naruto responded while the elf nodded his head.
"True, I thank you for the response. You could have leave us here and yet you still come not knowing if you would be able to defeat it just to save us, for that I am truly grateful." The elf nodded his head in gratitude. "By the way, my name Hodor Marceau and the leader of this village."
"I am Naruto Namikaze, Captain of the JSDF codename Maelstrom." Naruto introduce himself while his allies, seeing that there's no longer any hostility immediately went out of the vehicle to stand on their captains side with their weapons lowered.
Hodor seeing the black haired woman immediately swooned "Well hello there sweetheart~"
"Ugh, gross." Kuribayashi took a few steps away from the admittedly handsome man though the lecherous look on his face ruined that, the captain is still more handsome to her though.
Mari took a few steps back with an awkward expression.
"Father! Geez are you hitting on a woman again!?" an attractive girl with long blonde hair wearing a green one piece dress with detached sleeves, and thigh length green stockings with green shoes. She too had long ears like the other elves.
"Uh ahh! No I-I'm not hitting on anybody right? Right?" He turned to Mari trying to plead for his innocence while said girl merely looked away and hid behind Naruto who had a confused look on his face.
*Pak!* the man was hit on the head by the girl.
"Ugaah!" the man fell down to his knee's holding his head which was throbbing in pain from being hit. The girl turned to them and bow to Naruto.
"My name is Tuca Luna Marceau, and this man is my father, please forgive him for his perverted tendencies, anyway thank you very much for aiding us. We owe you our lives."
Naruto shooks his head before he turned his head towards the vehicle when he heard the radio.
Captain! We're already at the designated area, we'll set up camp here and wait for you.
Naruto turned towards them.
"I want you guys to pack your things, you must come with us now because it is no longer safe for you in here. I know a place where you'll definitely be safe." Naruto ordered while Hodor stood up.
"I'm very sorry, this is our home. We cannot leave it, but may I ask for a request." Naruto nodded his head, they didn't want to leave then he will respect that "I want you to take my daughter with you, that way she will be safe."
"What!? No, I am not going to leave without you father!" Tuca argued before Hodor turned to her with a sharp look.
"Tuca, whenever you wanted something you always gets it. I gave you everything you wanted, no matter what it is but this time. I am very sorry Tuca but I cannot let you stay here longer, it is not safe here anymore. You have to go with them, please just this time. Do as I told you." Hodor begged while Tuca stood frozen in disbelief.
"Tuca, please." Hodor repeated while Tuca bit her lips and with a frustrated sigh she nodded. Hodor smiled as he embraced his daughter one last time before separating "It's not like it'll be the last time we'll see each other anyway, can I visit that place you are talking about whenever I'm free?"
Naruto nodded his head "Of course, it's alright. You can visit anytime."
"Thank you." Hodor thanked them while Mari leads the reluctant Tuca to the vehicle.
"Here." Naruto handed him a small radio while Hodor looked at him in confusion "That is a radio, press this button here and call for me. I set the line to be directly connected with me, if you ever need help just call me and I'll see what I can do okay?"
Hodor nodded his head gratefully, Naruto helped them because it is what they must do, to establish a good relationship with this worlds citizen and earn their trust and acceptance and to do that he must help them as much as he can especially during the time of their needs.
"Let's go." Naruto turned back and sat at the front besides the driver seat which was occupied by Kurata. "We're heading to the valley near the Coda village."
It took them several minutes before they reached their destination, and to their surprise a lot of carriages and villagers could be seen sitting on a camp.
They stopped in front of the other JSDF who welcomed them with worried looks.
"Captain! Did you really met a dragon there!?" the moment they exited the vehicle they were immediately assaulted by a lot of questions from the others.
"How did you know about us facing a dragon?" Kurata asked as he unstrapped the shoulder belt of his rifle and held it downwards.
"Well the village chief informed us of what happened, we didn't understand much but we got the gist of it." One of the soldiers responded with an awed look while Naruto nodded his head.
He glanced to his left when he felt somebody tugging on his flack-jacket.
It was a petite blue-haired girl with blue eyes. She wears a green dress, with a blue tabard on top. She wears blue boots, and can be seen holding a staff with a blue wing on it and was tugging on his flack-jacket.
"What is it?" He asked while the girl tilted her head surprised at his fluency in their language.
"Did you see the dragon? She asked in softly while Naruto nodded.
"Yes, we fought it and managed to drive it away, unfortunately that's all we can do with our equipment so we didn't managed to kill it though it no longer had its right eye." He explained while the girl looked awestruck.
"My name is, Lelei La Lalena, an apprentice mage." She nodded her head after introducing herself.
"I'm Naruto Namikaze, it is nice to meet you Lelei." He patted her head, she looked like a kid a 15 year old kid though she was sixteen.
"Okay! That's enough! We should take a rest and head out early in the morning, we have to be back to Alnus before noon!" he ordered while the JSDF saluted at him and immediately head back to their tent while Naruto entered his while Lelei hopped inside a carriage.
Naruto sat down on a sleeping bag before tilting his head when Kuribayashi entered the tent and zipped it close. "Captain, we're roommates." She said with a grin as she removed her flack-jacket along with her jacket and boots. She was now only wearing a black skin tight wife beater and her pants and socks as she laid down on her sleeping bag.
"I thought Kurata is my roommate?" he asked as he removed his armor and jacket revealing him to be wearing the same black wife beater showing his toned body, his muscle was compact and cut, but not overly so that it would look disgusting, his abdominal muscle were all define without even an ounce of fat in his body, it was completely chiseled as if he had been made of marble. This made Kuribayashi drool and silently thanked Kurata for not parting with the vehicle.
"Ehem, he said he wanted to sleep inside the vehicle. Him and his strange fetish, and the Tuca girl was rooming with Mari-san." Kuribayashi didn't say it but she knew that those two are probably bi-sexual as they looked happy to be roomed together, she wouldn't be surprised if them do something that only lesbians does.
"I see. Let's sleep then." Naruto laid down on the sleeping bag, he doesn't really have any problems being roomed with a girl since he had done it many times, and he wasn't particularly a virgin considering that he had sleep with a lot of women during spying missions, he even slept with the princesses of other countries and even the daughters of the officials that he needed to get information of.
So seeing a woman's body wasn't really new to him, though he do agree that Kuribayashi had a really toned one, her stomach is flat with a bit of abs could be seen, not enough to be considered disgusting but enough to be considered very sexy as it was really toned.
Shaking the thoughts away he closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep even though his senses are still active, that is how he sleep, even though his body is resting his mind and senses are completely active. He had gained this habit during his time in Syria, where an enemy could attack at any time and would need to be ready. Even though he is asleep if someone tried to attack him, he would still be able to retaliate as his body was completely trained to do so.
Kuribayashi laid down on her own sleeping bag and turned to Naruto, more particularly his body and admiring the specs and the way his muscle constrict whenever he breaths. It was so sexy that she was sure she would probably have a wet dream about him when she fell asleep.
Not a minute later her eyes dropped and fell asleep before her face turned into a goofy smile with drool leaking down her lips.
"Uehehehehe, not there captain, that is the wrong hole.' She mumble in her sleep while Naruto snapped his eyes open wondering if he heard something outrageous before shaking his head and thinking that he was just imagining things and fell asleep again.
[A mile away]
Surrounding a camp fire was a group of men who was wearing lighter clothes with cloaks covering their form.
"Hey, I heard that the whole Coda Village is on the run."
"Heh, this is a good opportunity, we could probably take them on and overthrow their leader and take the village for ourselves, well kill those who oppose us." One of the thugs exclaimed with a grin on his dirty face.
"After that, we will conquer the city and overthrow it." The leader grins "From a bandit leader to a lord. I like the sound of it GAk!" His speech was cut off as his head fell of his shoulders shocking the bandits around him. When the body fell down they saw a woman standing behind him. She has the appearance of a young girl of around twelve or 13, she has long flowing black hair with a black ribbon as a hair ornament. Her clothing is consists of a black dress with red frills, black stockings supported with garters and a red boots. She wields a huge purplish axe as her main weapon.
"Hehehe, gentlemen, I thank you for your charity and giving up your lives, I hereby express my gratitude in the place of the all father." She sang out with a seductive voice despite it being her normal one, she walked towards them while hacking and slashing those who come near splitting their bodies and half showing the place with guts and human insides.
Her black hair fluttered as she walk towards them "My name is Rory Mercury, apostle to the Dark God, Emloy." She spun her axe and smash it on the ground releasing a powerful shockwave and a gale of wind.
"O-one of the twelve apostles! Rory the reaper!"
"Run!"
The bandits tired to run away but it was too late as Rory was already upon them.
"I don't think so~" She giggled sadistically as she appeared besides one of the bandits and slap him with the blunt side of her axe, smashing his head while his brains and flesh flew.
She spun on the air while laughing sadistically as she systematically destroyed all the bandits by splitting them in half, or smashing their heads and cutting off their legs to prevent them from running.
Tilting her head she saw one of the bandits who managed to get away.
"Fufufufu~ where are you going~" she sang out as she jumped towards the bandit who fell down after stumbling. "Fufufu, did you have fun? Killing and raping those men and women?" she brought her axe down and severed the man's feet from his ankles eliciting a scream of pain and agony.
"So tell me which one." She pointed at two dead naked bodies of females, one had a child like body and the other one having a mature one, both of them had their legs spread with white liquids dripping from their womanhoods.
"So which one did you rape?" she asked with a smile on her face while the bandit shook his head.
"No! I didn't do it! I only joined the bandits because my family is poor! I didn't kill anybody nor raped anybody!" The bandit argued with tears in his eyes while Rory sat with her legs crossed.
"That's boring, they're already dead." She looked down at the dead bodies, regretting the fact that she didn't come sooner before she turned her cold eyes back towards the bandit. She was smiling but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Now if you want to live longer dig using your hands and not a shovel."
The man immediately did so after crawling towards the bodies he dug with his hands, not caring as his hand was covered by mud and blood from being cut several times.
It took him a few hours to dig and was done just before the sun rise.
"I-I'm done!" He turned back and saw Rory praying, the priestess stood up and walked towards him with raised axe. "W-wait! You told me you will let me live!"
"I said I will let you live longer." She responded with a smile "But I only meant that only until you dug the graves and bury them." She dropped it and split the man in half.
[Morning]
"Were not making any progress." Naruto sighed out as he stuck his head out of the window and looked behind him seeing the carriages, some of them are even on the ground with their horse laying down panting. "It made it even more difficult due to the rain, wetting the ground and turning it into mud making it hard to trek on."
He rubs his head "I'm starting to have a headache." He rubs his head but was surprised when he felt Kuribayashi's hand started massaging his head. "Kuribayashi?"
"Heh! Don't worry Captain, I am known as the God hands Kuribayashi! I am expert when it comes to massaging, so leave this to me." Kuribayashi exclaimed while Naruto nodded his head with Mari smiling knowingly at the petite girl with Tuka looking with a tilt of her head.
"Dammit, I am so jealous." Kurata grumbled.
"Push!" everyone turned to look at the back and saw a group of JSDF pushing a cart that got stuck in a mud, it brought a smile on Naruto's face seeing them worked hard for people they do not even know.
Naruto raised his hand and ordered Kuribayashi to stop with her massage, he'll admit his headache disappeared because of her magic. He stepped out of the vehicle and walked towards the villagers.
"This is bad, the axle is broken we cannot continue like this." A villager exclaimed with a dejected look.
"leave it there then." Naruto responded with a stern expression.
"But we cannot live without our belongings!" the villager argued back while Naruto sighed tiredly.
"All of those are just materialistic things, you do not need that because it can be replaced. Your life is your most precious belonging, continue with what you can carry yourself and leave the others there. You can replace it later, but your life is irreplaceable. Now get a move on." He ordered while the villager nodded his head unaware of a silhouette standing above them with a smile on her face as she listen.
"Why not just let them use the vehicles and transport it using those." Mari argued with a tilt of her head.
"Remember, we are behind enemy lines. We break through them by sheer force even though our job is to only intercept the enemy within our main force reach, we disobey our orders by engaging an enemy without any orders, expanding our groups by taking this people in, we disobeyed so many orders and there are even civilians that had been harmed by the fire dragon whom we failed to stop. There is nothing much we can do but give them a hand." Naruto explained while his team listened on with a solemn expression on their face "Don't worry, if something happened I'll take responsibility." He placated while his group laughed.
"No, don't worry captain we are with you. We did it because it is the right thing to do, we wouldn't be able to live our lives knowing that we left those people to die had we not help them." Akira responded with a smile while the others nodded.
"That's right captain, we followed your orders because we know it is the right thing." Mari placated as she gently patted Naruto's back.
"That's right, captain is really amazing. To device a plan just by hearing a small detail about the fire dragon and injuring it which no other human in this world was capable of injuring it, it just make captain a lot more better." Kuribayashi explained as she latch to Naruto's arm.
They continued on and a few miles away they stopped once again, not because of another problem but because the same gothic girl earlier was seen sitting with a smile on her face.
The girl stood up and started walking towards them while Naruto sat with a little girl behind him playing with his hair. Once the girl stood in front them she stopped and peeked inside from Naruto's side.
"Say, where are you guys from and where are you going?" she asked with a sing sang voice, though Naruto noted that it was too seductive for someone her age.
"We are from Coda village onee-chan!" the little girl responded as she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck liking the feeling of his hair tickling her face.
"I see." She glance towards Naruto with a strange smile on her face "What about these gentlemen with strange get ups."
"I don't know but onii-chan here is really nice and was helping us, he even let us ride this amazing cart of theirs!" The little girl responded with a smile as she snuggle her cheek on his hair.
"Ohhh? So they aren't forcing you to go along?" She asked with a smile as she glance at Naruto.
"No! a flame dragon came and they helped us escape." The girl rebuked the claim.
"Ohh, really now." Rory hummed as she trace her fingers on the front of the vehicle "I do not know what this is, but I wonder how this thing moves."
"I do not know as well, but riding it is so much better than the carriage! It is faster and the seats are softer!" the girl responded while Rory smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, so riding it feels good hmm." She walked towards the front seat and opened the door, Naruto didn't even know how she knew how to open the door. "It's a bit cramp but it'll do." She stepped in and to the surprise of everyone and irritation of Kuribayashi, the girl stepped in and sat on Naruto's lap.
"What are you doing?" Naruto asked as he looked at her while she merely giggle to her hand while she stuck her axe outside. Seeing the expression on her face, he immediately knew what kind of person she is. Realizing that making her move away would be much more troublesome, he let her sit on his lap as they drove away.
They were silently trekking the road when suddenly a giant shadow engulf them, picking his head out they saw the flame dragon flew a few meters above them glaring at them with its one good eye.
"Everyone! Fall back, help the civilians escape! Excuse me!" He moved Rory from his lap and sat her on his seat as he opened the door and hand his body outside with his hand and feet only being left inside the vehicle. "Everyone! Prepare for combat!"
He jumped out of the vehicle and started running while pointing his rifle at the dragon "Kurata! Destruct it! Akira remember aim for the eye!" he ordered as the others did just that, while Kurata started driving away earning the attention of the dragon who started firing balls of flame towards it.
He could see everyone shooting at it with the bullets bouncing off its scales due to its thickness, shaking his head he immediately started running while shooting at the eye of the dragon who tried its best to shield it.
The dragon turned towards him as it saw him running towards it, it opened its mouth and prepared to fire a fireball.
"CAPTAIN!" Kuribayashi called out as Naruto slid on the ground as he pointed his grenade launcher on its face and fire, just in time for a fireball to form on its mouth but before it could release the grenade launcher entered its mouth and exploded while Naruto started rolling away behind the dragon.
"Akira! Shoot it with shoot its left wing with M72 LAW!" Naruto screamed as he stop rolling and stood up before running towards a huge boulder and took cover, just in time for the dragon's head to emerge from the smoke revealing its bleeding and smoldered head and released a fireball covered in blood towards him but only hit the boulder.
It roared as Akira fired a rocket at it which would have missed had it not been for Rory throwing her axe on the ground beside it.
With its face completely damaged and its wing broken, it barely managed to fly and escape.
"Captain!" Akira called out trying to locate their captain, and their eyes turned from worry to delight as Naruto came out behind the boulder.
He cough some due to the smoke before he turned towards Mari "Is there any casualties?" he asked as he turned to the villagers and saw some corpses, which has been completely burned by the dragon.
He gnashed his teeth in frustration "Damn it… again I could not prevent people from dying." He snarled.
"Death is just a part of life, they died because it is already their time. Don't blame yourself for not being able to save them, instead praise yourself for preventing more lives being taken. Without you and your group a lot of them would have died, so far there are only 20 people that had been killed. Compared to the hundreds of them in here, I am sure they do not blame you for it." Rory placated with a smile on her face as she clapped her hands as if praying for the dead.
Naruto sighed "At least we should burry them, this is the least that we can do. I just wish that I could have saved them…" he whispered to himself as he started walking towards him team while Rory stared at his back with a smile on her face.
"Fufufu, what an interesting man. I wonder what kind of burden are you carrying in that broad shoulders of yours." She muttered to herself with a small grin on her face.
She felt like her life would be much more interesting if she goes with him.
Chapter End.
