( A day after Kushina arrived )
"And so I was clearing out the room I was in but what I did know was that we missed a guy who coincidentally went to the toilet, I mean it was like he didn't hear the gunfight that was happen but anyway when I turn around I saw him there halfway on putting on his pants before he notice me among his dead comrades and I could have sworn we look at each other for hours and then he slowly turn around. Only to see Ghost there look him dead in the eye and did you know what he did next, he FAINTED right then and there and that wasn't the funny part no. The funny part was that Ghost look right at me and said "Was there something on my face." Bwahahahaha."
"AHHAHAHAHAH..." Laugh Kushina as Naruto finish retelling one of his missions with Ghost as both of them were task to guard Tanzuna for the day.
"OH my stomach, heh you and your partner really have some funny adventures I would have love to know who your parents were and they manage to raise someone like you." Said Kushina and then she notice Fox slump his shoulders a little before she realize what she said but before she could Fox beat her to it.
"I never really knew my real parents, I was adopted when they found me in a park while they were taking a walk and my adoptive dad died when I was a teen and my mom right now is probably crying somewhere out there."
Kushina look a little down at what he said and she told him "Sorry."
Fox just sigh before answering "Nevermind, you didn't know about it anyway so its OK though from what my dad and mom told me they found me in a blanket with my given name on it along with a weird swirl on the back and I always take it with me where ever I go so if I ever do find my parents they'll know its me."
Kushina now curious about what he said was gonna ask to see the blanket when Ghost came walking towards them, he stopped before he gave a big sigh and started talking.
"Got to admit, the midget besides being a ruthless arrogant SOB has got some form of brain cells in that tiny head of his." Seeing the confuse look he continued
"Bastard has a private island a couple miles out at sea and the terrain is like a rocky mountain surrounding the three sides of his mansion and there is only one port in and out and from I gathered after tourt... I mean politely asking some of the hired help the front of his house is a clearing at least a good 30 feet so no cover and we can't dock on the other sides because there are jagged rocks and heavy waves preventing boats from docking properly so unless we have someone on the inside or we have some of the gear back home, we've got no choice but to wait for the bastard to show his ugly mug."
That really put a frown on both their faces as they had hope to cut of the head of the snake before it could escalate so instead Fox ask " How many hired help he has?"
"Aside from the few I have politely asked, at least about 130 easy." Ghost answered
"Damn think we could thin them out."
"With our current gear and the situation we are in not advisable."
"Damn.."
"You said it."
"So what are we gonna do about it now?." Asked Kushina and Ghost answered.
"We wait until he show his face because for the most part he might cut out this Zabuza character so he doesn't pay him since the labor he hired are chumps who could barely hold a sword."
"And the fall out." Said Fox
"If we're lucky they will get the hell out of dodge if not they get ready for a fight for our lives."
That dampen the mood a little more for the three until Tanzuna came and told them they were done for the day and all three of them headed back, along the way they met up with team 7 and Yugao who was training them with Kakashi still in a somewhat sad mood because when Kushina arrived all of them told her what happen and while she was mad that Kakashi continued on with the mission despite the situation but by the end of it she was laughing her ass of at how Kakashi was berated by the two masked men at how he handle the job and that caused Kakashi to sulk in a corner.
All of them reach the house safely to see Tsunami outside the house watering her garden and she saw them, she got up and walked towards them when she remembered something.
"Oh Ghost, Fox there's a package for you."
That put the people there on edge as all of them knew that said two don't have anybody they know in Wave so Ghost ask wearily
"From who?"
"Ummm I'm not sure just that someone came at our door earlier today and said that he knew you guys somehow and told me that the package could help you even up the score as he quoted."
"Where is this package?" Asked Fox as something about this is seriously giving him some bad vibes
"In the house and he said to consider this a welcoming gift to you guys."
And before anyone could blink Ghost and Fox were already at the door with their weapons drawn ready for anything, the kids held back while the adults were tense as they followed behind the two as they slowly open the door and clearing it out.
The house was clear and look untouched but the two were still alert as they saw the package which was a big wooden box that the two recognized as a weapons box because of their companies logo on it.
After a bit Ghost motion Fox to the box who nodded and slowly walked towards it while the rest were behind them sweating a little at what was inside of it. Once there Fox took out his blade and stuck it in the lid, after a few moments there was an audible click and then Fox slowly open the box with a loud creaking sound.
Once it was fully open, what was in there managed to shock Fox as he got up quickly as he shouted "WHAT THE FUCK."
That startled the team including Ghost as they look at him weirdly before Ghost walked towards the box and what he saw inside made him widen his eyes behind his mask as he turn back to Fox and he got the message saying the same thing he was.
"What is in there anyway." Said Uzume as she was curious at what could startled these two.
The two look at each other for a moment before they nodded as they took out the stuff inside the box, the first was a much smaller box with the words C4 on it sides, seeing their looks Fox then elaborated.
"This is C4, one of the most high grade explosive in the military, use from blowing holes in the wall to leveling buildings. The fun thing about this is that they are harmless unless -takes out a small device- you activate this little device here and you can shape it anyway possible so I could cut it up and make at least five bombs from one of these."
That shock the ninjas at what the heard and the adults complicated on such a thing is able to make an explosion as what he describe, they then took out another small box and inside of it was what look like a rectangular green box but what was weird was that it was curved outwards with a pin on the top and this time it was Ghost who elaborated.
"Claymore mines, used to give the enemy an explosive surprise should they try anything funny. Pull the pin, place it with some wire and booby trap where every you like but make sure the curved side is pointed to where you want it to go."
Before anyone could ask anything else, Fox then took out a rectangular object and what they saw was that it has four holes on both sides of the object and there was what look like a scope on it.
"This my friends is a M202 FLASH rocket launcher, able to fire four rockets each with enough explosive power to destroy a house around this size."
Now that made the ninjas wide eyed as they saw the size of the rockets and couldn't help but wonder how dangerous their world was until Ghost took out something that made their jaws dropped as he effortlessly carried what looked like a bigger version of the two's weapons.
He put it on the floor with an audible thud before explaining
"This bad boy is the M134 mini gun or known as the grim reaper to those standing in front of it, it fires a 7.62x51 MM NATO rounds with a rate of fire of 2000-6000 Rpm so anything that gets in this baby way is as good as dead."
Though none of them could see their faces they knew they were smiling on the inside and Sakura raised her hand and ask "So what does this mean?"
Fox smirking behind his mask said "What it means pinky we just got our equalizer."
The pinky comment made Sakura pouted a little before she notice some kind of metallic object which seemed to connect to each other and she pointed out before saying "And what is that."
Confuse the two mercenaries almost missed the object and both of them took out the objects and everyone got a good look at it. It was a somewhat weird looking object as they notice that it was meant to strap it onto somebody and seeing the look on the mercenaries faces they figured they know what it was.
Ghost broke the silence and said "These are Exoskeletons or Exo's for short, what it does is increase its wearers strength by three and depending on the situation it can have a number of other gadgets added to it like jump jets which allows us to jump at a great distance or height or cloak which makes us invisible for a short time.
But the look on their faces say something more and was starting to worry some of them except for Sasuke as he eyed the weapons they were carrying and making note to demand they hand it over to him.
"Is there something wrong?" Asked Tsunami with worry in her voice.
"These Exo's... are ours." Said Fox and that made the team confuse on what he meant before Ghost elaborated.
"These are our personal Exo because the adjustments in here are what we put in the assault package." As he demonstrated it when he push a button and what came out was a two inch blade that was shining dangerously which made the blade wielders look in awe at how it was made.
Then they all turn to Fox who flipped his own switch and then from the wrist part came out what look like a small barrel. Fox then said "Multi-purpose dart launchers, able to shoot darts ranging from knockout to explosive tipped"
The two was still confuse about how their personal gear was here until Ghost notice a piece of paper at the bottom, picking it up he read it. Only to have his eyes wide open inside his mask at what was in it.
"Now I know someone is fucking with us." Said Ghost as he passed the paper to Fox who red it out loud
"Hope you like the welcoming gift oh and your welcome sign by your mysterious benefactor P.S there's still one last thing left inside of the box, Who the fuck is this dick wad."
"I don't know but I don't like it, it feels like Germany all over again."
"Germany?" Asked the rest of the people in the room.
Fox then told them "A few years back we were station in Germany for a while and for some reason everytime we get a job that we had problems with a mysterious person just kept sending stuff that helped us with and for a time we thought nothing of it until that benefactor turns out to be a Russian mob boss intent on taking over Germany's underworld and he almost succeeded it to if we didn't managed to find it out in time."
They rest made an "OHH" sound except for Mc Broody and the Harpy as they realized why they were so cautions about stuff like this while Uzume asked "Then what about that last thing he left in there."
Both of the mercs look at each other for a moment before taking what looked like another box but in this case was black in colour, Ghost went ahead and open it to show two swords in the case but both of them were different from each other.
One of them looked like about the size of a ninjato inside a rectangular sheathe and nearby it was a small dagger while the other was what looked like a samurai sword but the had what the ninja's now know as a clip for their guns and near the hilt was a trigger of sorts and following it was a finger grip.
"I don't know whether to kiss the guy or shoot him in the face right now." Ghost said as he unsheathe the samurai sword a little but what the shinobi there didn't expect was that the blade was blood red and a weird humming sound started emitting from it and it looked real menacing from their point of view.
"Uhmmm Ghost-san just what is that sword?" Asked Kushina as her inner sword-woman started coming out along with Yugao as she stare at the sword Fox unsheathe but his ninjato was different as she could see some lightning surging on it but she didn't feel any chakra in it.
Fox then elaborated "These are what you would call High-Frequency blades or HF blades for short and what them different is that they are reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonates at extremely high frequencies. This oscillation weakens the molecular bonds of anything it cuts, thereby increasing its cutting ability. Striking, cutting, and thrusting attacks are performed with the blade, with the sharpened edge and point used for lethal attacks, and the blunt edge used as a clubbing weapon. Proficient users were also able to wield the blade with such accuracy and speed that they were able to deflect bullets"
That surprised the ninja's there as they now know that the swords they were holding could cut through anything and now Sasuke was basically drooling in his mind thinking about using these weapon to avenge his clan.
"There anymore surprises we should know?." asked Fox sarcastically
"Doesn't look like it." Answered Ghost before he asked
"So the M202 or the mini gun?"
"Mini gun, your aim was always better than mine anyway."
Ghost Just shrugged as both of them activated their Exo's before hefting not only the weapons but also the explosives and Sakura couldn't help but ask "Isn't that overkill."
Both Ghost and Fox stop for a moment before looking back at her and said at the same time "Pinky overkill is underrated." Before walking out the door as they prepare the surprise for Gato.
( Few days later the bridge )
Kushina and Team 7 minus Yugao was now guarding the Tanzuna since today was the day Zabuza was gonna strike, she hadn't seen the two Mercenaries for a while now ever since they got the packages on that day and because of it Yugao had to guard the family for the day. She sigh as she thought back about her conversation she had with Fox and she couldn't help but wonder why she was feeling a sense of kinship with him.
"It couldn't be...Nahhhh no way he could be him he should have been around Uzume's age not a full grown man but what he said about a blanket with a swirl on it makes me wonder I ask him to let me see it after this." Thought Kushina when suddenly the mist around them started to grow thicker until their visibility was almost no existence.
Suddenly a voice came out from the mist and team 7 recognize it immediately as he spoke "Well well Kakashi looks like you called for back up and I must say it is an honor that the red hot habanero is here right now because I wish to test my skills as a swordsman against you.
Kakashi retorted "Sorry Zabuza but your gonna be facing both of us and we're not letting you kill the bridge builder."
Zabauza chuckled before saying "and what makes you think I'm alone Haku get him."
Suddenly senbon needles started coming out of nowhere and was aiming for Tazuna if it weren't for Uzume and Sasuke blocking it with their kunais and thus began the battle on the bridge.
( With Yugao )
"Shit!" Shouted Yugao as she dodge another strike, she was now slightly panting because right now she was facing at least 20 of the thugs Gato hired but that wouldn't be much of a problem but in this case Gato manage to get some other missing nin though not the same as Zabuza they were keeping her on her toes as she had to guard both Tsunami and Inari who was behind when they got ambush while heading back to the house, she managed to take down at least half of them before she started to get tired which was notice by the thugs.
"Hehe lookie here boys she getting tired maybe when we're done the boss could lets us have some fun with her." Shouted one of the men which made all cheer at and Yugao cursed a little but before anything else could happen all of them heard a whirling noise and before anyone realize it suddenly the thugs then exploded into chunks and pieces which shocked Yugao seeing the thugs taken out so quickly.
She quickly turn to where she heard the noise from and was shock to see Fox coming out of there with the mini gun ready in the wait and she couldn't help but thank whatever deity was looking out for them.
Fox quickly survey the situation and then called out to Yugao.
"You all right?" Yugao nodded at him before he told her to wait for a moment as he contacted Ghost.
"Ghost you there."
"Yeah I'm here what do you want, in case you haven't notice I'm a little busy at the moment *BOOM* Yeah suck it bitches."
"How long you think you can finish clearing it out."
"Doesn't look like much, seems the midget took most of his men to the bridge *gunshots* so give me a minute or two so go and get him for me I'll catch up with you later Ghost out."
Fox turned off his radio and then turned to Yugao and said "Take them back to the house and stay there, you to tired to fight for now so I deal with them if I'm not back within an hour call for back up and if you see any of them coming within 20 feet -throws the detonator at her- press that button and the traps we planted will blown them all sky high."
Yugao took the detonator and nodded before heading back to the house while Fox headed for the bridge and hoped he was not too late.
( The bridge )
"Well well looks like the so called demon of the mist was nothing more than a joke if he can't kill a simple bridge builder." Said Gato as his henchmen all started grinning at what looked like easy money.
Zabuza gritted his teeth as he realize that he was in a bad situation before he look down with sadness in his eyes as he saw Haku's lifeless body as she took one of Kakashi's move and died because of it so with that in mind he turned to Kakashi.
"Seem's that we aren't enemies for now so what do you say."
Kakashi did nothing more than just nodded as he took out his kunai and the rest of the team despite being tired willed their bodies to fight
Gato seeing this smirk as he ordered "all right kill all of them but leave the women alive they will have some use in the brothel."
The thugs all cheered in glee but before anyone could move all of a sudden a figure descended from the skies and landed between the two sides and the shinobi side minus Zabuza were relive at who it was because standing in front of them was Fox with his mini gun in hand and was now pointing at Gato's men who thought he was crazy.
"Who do we have here another wannabe hero." Sneered Gato while Fox just look at him and then said
"Nope just the guy that's gonna kill all of you if you don't get out of town."
"Hah who do you think you are anybody that kill this fucker will get double the money."
The thugs roared in excitement and then charged at Fox who didn't even budge as he shook his head before firing up the minigun. What ensure next was a total slaughter fest as the mini gun roared to life and the thugs were now tasting first hand on how dangerous that weapon was as it tore through them like a hot knife through butter and some of them run after the first sight of its capabilities but only for them to run into the claymore mines that he and Ghost set up.
The shinobi side was in awe at how such a weapon could kill of so many and some the genin look a little green at how the weapon could easy tore through a person flesh.
A few minutes later the bridge was now covered in blood guts and gore which would make some battle harden men cringe at the bloodshed there and Fox notice on the far end was Gato still alive somehow but with an arm missing from his body, thinking shooting him would be to easy Fox dropped the mini gun and then slowly stalked Gato who was now trying to get away but seeing as he couldn't he tried to bargain with him.
Only to see a boot smashing right into his face, Fox slowly unsheathe his ninjato and before another sound was made Fox decapitated him and his head soar for a bit before landing with a thud.
There was a tense silence as Fox went to grab his gun before hefting it as he look at the shinobi's dumbstruck faces before he snapped them out of it as he said "If you guys are done staring we've still got a job to do."
Shaking their heads a little the shinobi team then headed back to the village to bring about the good news
( A while later )
A party was in full swing as the bon fire burned brightly in the night sky and all around were the villagers as they celebrated being free from Gato's reign after the team told them of it and was now being seen as the heroes of Wave. Zabuza wasn't there as he took Haku's corpse and then disappear never to be seen again.
Ghost arrive a little later with a giant box in tow and when they open it up everyone there was shock to see so much gold and jewellery there and Ghost then told them about his one man raid at Gato's compound, suffice to say the peopled there partied harder as they now have enough money to support there village back.
Ghost and Fox were leaning on a tree as they look on at the celebration in their honor until Fox asked
"So where do we go from here?"
"For now maybe we should maybe follow those shinobi as it were to their village because right now we've got almost nowhere to go."
Fox thought about it a little before nodding before they notice Kushina and the team walked towards them with a smile on their faces.
"Hey why are you still wearing masks for anyway I mean there's nobody here to kill us right now." Said Kushina as most of the people there nodded which made the two sweatdrop but before they could retort the women there all gave their puppy dog eyes at they and in no time at all they relented and slowly took off their mask.
The women there blush when Ghost took of his mask first as he had that bishounen look along with the scar that made him look cool in their eyes but what was most interesting was the shinobi's reaction when Fox took of his.
He had a sun-kiss blond hair that look like the sun itself along with that sky blue eyes that you could stare at for hours but what was interesting was that he had whiskers like birthmarks on his cheek that gave him a feral look which again the women there blush at before both of them introduce themselves.
"Simon Ghost Riley at your service."
"Naruto The Fox Riley pleasure."
If the adult shinobi weren't in shock now they would in a heart attack when they heard that name and Kushina couldn't stop shaking as she heard Naruto introduce himself as she thought "No..it couldn't be but he so old but if he is I've got to make sure he is and if he is then maybe I could get my family back again."
So steeling herself Kushina asked "Ummm Naruto, could you show me that blanket you said you have."
Raising an eyebrow Naruto shrugged at what she wanted so he took out what look like an old blanket and as he did Kushin's eyes widen to epic proportions before she shakily took it and saw her clan's symbol on it including the name they had for their first child and because the shock was too much for her she dropped to her knees which startled the people there before Naruto went to check up on her when suddenly he was tackled to the ground by Kushina who started crying her eyes out as she kept on saying its you it really is you over and over again which confuse Naruto as he push her away a little and started asking "OK what was that all about."
Kushina with tears still in her eyes said "Sorry about that I just got excited seeing you again my son, my little malestrom."
Now it was Naruto's turn to widen his eyes at what she was saying and she showed him proof some more as she took out a necklace which had the same symbol on his blanket and now it was Naruto's jaw dropped to the floor at what she showed him as he shakily said "Mom?"
Kushina now sported a megawatt grin as she shed tears of joy at being reunited with her son again while the crowd had smiles on their faces seeing this moment while Simon look intrigued before muttering to himself.
"Well well looks like the message was true after all."
As he look up at the moon as it shone brightly in the sky as he briefly wondered what do they being brought here meant
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And cut that's a wrap, so the big reveal is out and Naruto has been reunited with Kushina, the next chapter will be Naruto and Simon settling in Konoha and that's all I'm gonna say so until next time, Rate and review Ja ne
