Hey new chapter finally here. I'm finally going to start Naruto's training now. Not much to say. Onto the Chapter!!!

I do not own Naruto or Warhammer 40K

Thane awoke at five the next morning. The sun had still not risen yet and a faint blue light was coming in from outside the window. Sitting up, it took him a moment to figure out where he was. Oh yeah. He was in Konoha. His sensitive hearing could hear the bustle of the maids in the lower levels of the hotel. He decided that after he ate his breakfast, he would retrieve his gear. Getting up, he walked to the bathroom and began his morning ritual. Cleaning himself up only took about twenty minutes. He was taught to be quick and thorough. Upon coming out of the bathroom he spotted a letter on his table. It unnerved him how quiet these shinobi could be. He hadn't heard anything while in the restroom. Picking up the letter, he opened it and began to scan its contents.

"Thane-

I have decided to test you with a rather easy C-rank mission. You will be dealing with a group of nearby bandits that have taken residence outside the nearby settlement of Torvin. It is a small trading post about sixteen miles from our gates. From your performance on this said mission, I will decide your skill and worth to our military while you are paying off your debt. Please report to the Mission hall at 0900 hours. It is located on the third floor of the Hokage tower.

Sarutobi

Hmmm. So the old man had decided to test him. He had already known that Sarutobi was having him followed. He could just barely sense the ANBU that were trailing him. It was only due to his advanced biotics that he had been able to hear and smell them. Overall, he thought it could prove to be interesting. He still had time to grab his gear. Some of it might come in handy. The armor might be over the top, but he could justify to having it custom made. Of course, he couldn't use a bolter or plasma rifle; but a nice Chainsword or Powerfist might come in handy. Those weapons seemed like they would fit in with the technology of this planet. Thane smiled. He couldn't wait to see the looks on their faces when he walked in full gear.

Sarutobi sat in the mission hall waiting for Thane. The man was a slight mystery to him. While the man said he was a common mercenary, his body language showed the form of a veteran warrior. He was always observing his surroundings, Sarutobi mused. The man seemed to be on edge almost twenty-four seven. After they had departed, he had some ANBU shadow him. According to their reports, he had no doubt that he was able to detect them. He possessed skills that a normal mercenary wouldn't have. Despite having no chakra, the man put Sarutobi on edge. Everything about him screamed danger. He would have to keep an eye on him. He was cut from his musing by the noise outside the mission hall. Or rather lack thereof. He immediately stood and readied his chakra. The source of the problem walked straight through his door. If Sarutobi had thought the man to seem dangerous before, now he was almost terrified. In front of him stood a red giant. Looking up into the figures face, he was surprised to see Thane. He took a moment to further observe the armor. It was mostly red with some tan on the shoulder plates. A rope wrapped around his neck attached to a cape that flowed behind him almost majestically when he walked. There were seals of text hanging from various points on his armor, looking to be in a different language. On one shoulder pad was a raven, holding a drop of blood. On the other was a large roman numeral three. A large hammer strapped to his back caught Sarutobi's eye. Looking down, he spotted a rather strange looking sword that hung from his right hip. It seemed to have serrated teeth. Sarutobi's vision drifted to the Thane's fist. It seemed to be encased in a glove of metal. He could hear a slight vibration coming from it. Sarutobi stood in awe of the man. He looked like an angel of death. There was silence for a few minutes before Thane spoke.

"Reporting for Duty."

Thane rushed down through the woods towards the settlement chuckling to himself. He had made quite an impression on the Hokage. Something he hoped to do. It would make the man take him more seriously and it would make his job a slight bit easier. Though he had to be careful now. Any slip could jeopardize the entire mission. Thankfully, Sarutobi had bought his story of custom made armor. It was easy, as Thane was sure that no one else on this planet had armor like his. After everything had calmed down in the mission hall, Sarutobi had given Thane the full report on the bandits and had handed him a map. He was expected to finish the mission in less than three days. Sarutobi had most likely expected that Thane would be moving at a walk. Right now, with biotic enhancement, he was moving at a good sixty miles an hour. The armor also worked in tandem with the biotics. Using shock absorbers and gyro enhancement, an average space marine was able to reach up to 120 miles per hour in a full run, even faster than an Imperial Chimera. This was one of the biggest advantages in fighting the enemies of the God-Emperor. No one would expect a 7-8 foot tall giant in heavy armor to reach speeds of that level. Here on this planet, he would have an even greater advantage against the local shinobi. He had no chakra. Not like a civilian with a miniscule amount, but absolutely no chakra. This would be invaluable against sensor types. Running along, he heard a caravan up ahead. Not wanting to become a spectacle he had avoided the civilians by traveling in the forest. He barely made a sound as he ran through the dark foliage. Quite surprising for the amount of mass he had with the suit combined. He didn't travel in the trees though. He didn't believe that the branches would support him. He guessed that he had about another hour before he reached the bandits. He wanted to end this as quickly as possible. He also wanted to make a good impression on the ANBU that was currently trailing him. It had only taken him a minute or two to notice. Quite longer than he pleased, but these were supposed to be the masters of stealth. Years of tracking Eldar had honed his senses to this sort of thing. He continued to travel for about forty more miles before he stopped in a clearing. Checking the map he noticed that the camp was only just over the ridge. He wanted to take them unawares so he slowly snuck up to the ledge. Lying down, he could see the campfires surrounded by multiple tents. There appeared to be only thirty or so bandits. He snarled. He could smell the distinct smell of sweat, semen, and blood. By the looks of it, they were holding female prisoners. He could hear their cries on agony from here as the men laughed. These men were a disgrace to mankind. A disgrace to the Emperor. They would pay for this insult. Grabbing his Chainsword, Thane jumped over the ridge and landed below. The sound was absorbed by the armor so no one in the camp took notice. Moving forward at an insane speed, he reached the first bandit in three seconds. Bringing the Chainsword around and pulling the trigger, he cut cleanly through the first bandit. Moving quickly, he cut through five more before anybody was any the wiser. After the seventh man went down, the noise from his sword had alerted just about the entire camp. The men began to draw their swords as they rushed to the source. Unfortunately, upon sighting Thane, most began to flee. Running forward, Thane cut about six more before grabbing his Force Hammer in one hand and swinging it horizontal at the two remaining bandits in front of him. The sheer force of the swing demolished the men as gore showered the area. A few of the women slaves were cowering around the camp. Taking advantage of this, one of the bandits grabbed a girl and decided to use her as a meat shield.

"Okay, drop your weapons and surrender or I swear I will cut this woman to pieces," The bandit said holding a katana at the girl's throat. She began to cry as the blade began to draw blood. Men began to slowly gather around him. Thane snarled. Cowards, hiding behind civilians. Females no less. It only served to increase his rage. He shot forward and grabbed the sword before the man could even think about cutting the girls neck. Squeezing, the blade shattered and Thane pushed the girl down. Grabbing the man's shoulder, he reared back and slammed his power fist into the man's face. He completely destroyed it, covering the bandits behind him in brain matter. They were stunned for a moment before beginning to charge inward to him. He dropped his Chainsword and gripped the Force Hammer in both hands. Swinging in a 360 degree arc, he annihilated every single bandit within a six foot radius of him. A explosion of gore and bits of twisted metal from armor and swords peppered the ground. He was now covered in blood. There were only a few bandits left. They started to run. As he prepared to charge forward, they were stopped by a barrage of shuriken. Dropping down from a nearby tree, a man in a tan looking trench coat began to approach him. He had a Katana was strapped to his back and a blank white mask was positioned over his face. The only thing he could see on the mask was two slits that most likely provided vision. His hair was black and very long, cascading over the man's shoulders. The man wore no shirt underneath the coat and a necklace of animal teeth. Wolf if he had to guess. He was very lithe, so Thane guessed that he capitalized on speed.

"Cowards. They need to understand that they cannot dishonor me by running from battle. This is rather disappointing. You completely demolished my crew." The man spoke in a rather calm matter. Thane was rigid. Waiting for any opening. The man continued to speak, "I guess that I will have to deal with you too. A shame really, all that talent going to waste." He chuckled lightly. Thane had had enough.

"Enough talk. I will end you here." Thane said as he picked up his Chainsword. The man stood still for a moment before drawing his sword silently. Obviously he had gotten the hint that talk time was over. The man suddenly disappeared. Thane was instantly on edge. He opened all his senses to the world around him. Feeling a displacement in the air behind him, Thane ducked a Katana swing. The man was gone in a swirl of leaves before he could retaliate. He jumped and rolled forward as a footstep alerted him to his enemy. The swing caught air as the man attempted to decapitate him. Before the man could disappear again, Thane grabbed his arm and slammed the power fist into the man's stomach. He could hear the air leave his lungs as the man's ribbed shattered. The force of the blow knocked the man into a nearby tree, before he could ready himself, Thane hit him again in the chest sending him through the tree and into the woods behind him. The man began to rise once more albeit slowly. This man was obviously a shinobi. No ordinary bandit could take hits like that. Moving forward Thane picked up his nearby Chainsword and rushed the man. The bandit leader attempted to parry Thane's blows, but the amount of force behind each one was enough to shatter the blade after a few swings. The breaking of his sword through the man off guard as Thane spun around and revved the Chainsword. The blade bit a large gash through the bandit leader. Blood shot from the wound and coated Thane's face. The man jumped back wheezing and began to make handseals. Soon he shouted his technique for Thane to hear.

"Katon: Gokyuu no Jutsu!" following the words a large fireball rushed toward Thane. Not having time to get out of the way, Thane swung his hammer at the large flame ball. The force from the attack exploded the jutsu and scattered the fireball, littering the area with flaming craters. The man was clearly surprised as he stood stock still. The shinobi began to assess the situation. He seemed to suddenly realize that he was outclassed. As he turned to flee, Thane jumped high into the air and spun around throwing his Force Hammer with all his might. Which was a lot of might by the way. The hammer impacted with the Shinobi and an instant later the area was covered in dust from the impact. Upon landing, Thane observed the area. The ground was shattered where the hammer had impacted. A good seven foot deep crater appeared where the shinobi was once standing. As the dust cleared further, he got a good look at the ninja. Or what was left of him. The inertia from the hammer throw had traveled to the man and the force of the impact with the ground and basically done as much damage as three exploding tags. There was just a pile of meat with bits of cloth and white bits of mask. Walking over to the once shinobi, Thane grabbed his hammer. Hefting the 750 pound hammer, Thane began to walk towards the tent where he had seen the girl from earlier flee to. Opening the flap, he spotted many women in various forms of dress. Not many were fully clothed and most were naked. They cowered in a corner as Thane stepped into the tent.

"Are any of you well enough to run?" Thane asked. One girl stepped forward hesitantly. Thane looked at her and she shrunk back. "You need to get to town and alert your mayor that the rest of you are here. Also tell him that his bandit problem has been taken care of." The girl nodded and rushed by him to leave. Thane walked outside and grabbed a blade. Walking back in, he stuck it into the ground. "If anyone tries to harm you again, you will defend yourselves. Am I clear?" Thane said. The steel in his voice seemed to frighten the women, but most nodded anyway. Thane left the tent and began towards the ridge. He couldn't feel the presence of the ANBU anymore. The man must have just left. Grabbing his Chainsword from the ground, Thane began his long trek back towards the village of the leaves. He knew his spectator would report everything that had happened to the Hokage. Now he just had to make up a believable story for the questions sure to come.

Chapter done! Sorry about the delay. I just had to memorize a long monologue from the Glass Menagerie. Took me all week. I hope you at least enjoyed the fight scene. I need some constructive criticism people. Please review. I also need some ideas for the story so ping them off me. Also if you want to check the status of a chapter, I post daily on my profile.
