( Noon Konoha gate )
"So what you think of this mission bro." Asked Naruto as he and Simon were now waiting for the team sent by the Hokage to join them.
Both of them wore their black uniform with Naruto's mask on the side of his face as he took a puff of his smoke while Simon was wearing his glasses and was holding his balaclava while his headset hang loose on his neck, they were also wearing their EXO just in case and they both had a number of pouches strapped to their waist. Their loadout on the other hand was different as Simon this time took a GLOCK G22 on his chest holster while strapped to his waist was a blade that was 10 inch long, his main was a M4A1 Assault rifle with a red dot scope and at the bottom was a M203 Grenade launcher, on his back was an INTERVENTION sniper rifle. Naruto on the other hand was carrying the same pistol as Simon while his blade was in the same place on his shoulder but what was different was that he was carrying a SAW M249 LMG with a bayonet, on his back was a SPAZ 12 shotgun with a red dot sights.
Taking a puff from his own cigarette Simon answered "Not sure I mean we are gonna meet other people from other dimensions and who know if their friendly or not so I say we do how we always do it trust no one till otherwise."
Naruto nodded at what Simon said and it wasn't a while later that five figures were walking towards them.
One was a girl wearing a pink Chinese wardrobe with two buns tied on her hair, the other was a boy with long hair that's been tied at the end with white eyes like from one of the clan members the two met yesterday, the next one was a brown haired woman that the recognized as Hana who was the sister of the kid Naruto beat up the day they came here but the most noticeable reaction from the two were walking towards them cause the two had a ridiculous bowl cut hair while wearing a god awful green spandex suit with orange leg warmers but the most noticeable was the two caterpillar like things on their eyebrow.
The mercs were shell shocked by their appearance that the two dropped their cigarettes and Simon's glasses dropped to one side and after a moment the two regain their bearings as they snap out of their stupor before going to meet the team.
"Well you must be the team pleasure." Said Naruto
"YOSH LETS ME INTRODUCE MYSELF, I AM THE GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA THE YOUTHFUL MIGHT GUY AND THESE ARE MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS." Said eyebrow freak senior.
"YOSH I AM MIGHT GUYS YOUTHFUL STUDENT ROCK LEE." Said eyebrow freak junior
"CUT IT OUT YOU TWO." Said the younger female of the team as she smack the two heads with a mace that she took out from somewhere which earned a sweatdrop from the mercs before the girl straighten herself out before introducing herself "Hi my name is Tenten Higurashi don't mind the two there a little...eccentric hehe."
The two stare at her for a bit before turning to the sexually confuse boy for a moment before he said monotonously "Neji Hyuuga."
The mercs blinked for a bit before Simon voice his thoughts "Wow what crawled up your ass or did you put it there by yourself."
The rest of the group snicker for a bit as the pale eyed boy just glare at him and was about to retort before Guy gave him a stern glare which made him back down and scowl.
Hana then walked up next and said "Well you guys already met me yesterday but I'll introduce myself again Hana Inuzuka good to work with you."
The two nodded but then notice something off as Naruto asked "Is this all of you I thought dad said he was gonna send a few chunin?"
The three kids were confuse by his statement as they never met them before while Guy heard it from Kakashi and this time Hana answered "Yes the Hokage wanted to send a few Chunin but their quite stretch thin as the exams are coming soon so they send us to asses the situation and if need be asked for back up."
The two mercs look at her for a moment before sighing as Simon spoke up first "Great, just to clear up some ground rules we are heading this mission so you take orders from either one of us first unless we are not there got it."
The five shinobi nodded at what Simon said before he put on his mask and the Naruto spoke up "And while we're on missions you call us by Ghost and Fox understand." As he put his mask in place.
Once more they nodded before the team of seven head out towards the village.
( Four days later the village )
When the four reached the village this is what they really didn't have in mind as what they saw was a ghost town of a village that was barely even standing as buildings had the after effects of being burn and bodies laid waste everywhere and the smell of death was in the air.
Ghost and Fox survey the area for a bit before Ghost said "All right stay close and check your corners don't do anything until we do."
The five shinobi nodded and cautiously look around the village as if waiting for something to pop out and attack them, it was then Tenten saw something nearby so she picked it up and saw that it was a hat of sorts but it was different as it was white with a symbol of an eagle holding a shield decorated with stars and stripes. Curious she decided to tell her teammates "Hey look at this you guys."
All of them turn to see her coming with the hat in hand and the two mercs were slightly wide eye at what she was carrying and Fox asked "Where you get that?" Tenten just pointed at the place she found it and then passes it to Fox who inspected it carefully before looking at Ghost and nodded to him, the team now were curious as Hana asked "You guys recognized this?"
The two mercs looked at her for a bit before Ghost answered "Sort off, this hat belongs to a high ranking person in our branch of military so I guess we got someone real important here and judging by the bullets I see here there's probably some soldiers with him and by my count at least two because I see two different kinds of ammunition here."
It was then a rustling sound was heard and all seven turn to the sound with Ghost and Fox drawing their weapons at it. Only to see a person coming out from the bushes and he was wearing a white uniform with medals on his left chest which looked like it was in tatters with some blood on it, the person looked like he was in his mid 20 and when Ghost and Fox saw him they knew he was trouble but didn't voice it out yet.
The person walked up to them and said "Ohh thank Kami, you guys have to help me out, I got separated from the group and was lost for a while until I saw you guys please help me out here."
The five shinobi was about to answered until Ghost asked "All right we'll help you just tell us what happen here."
It was then the man told him "Well the bandits suddenly attacked us at dawn but we managed to hold them back but I got separated when they managed to corner me so here I am so what you say?"
Simon then said "Ok then how many bandits are there?"
"There were about 25 of them but we managed to kill 10 of them so there shouldn't be too many left, we have to hurry and find the rest."
"Ok ok chill, don't worry about it you Devil Dog."
"Right sorry lets go."
And just like lightning Ghost push the man down when his back was turn and the he twisted his arm to his back as he barked out "All right who are you and what is your objective."
"Wh-wh-what do you mean I am an ally."
"Cut the bullshit before I break your bones in your body now who are you."
The team was slightly shocked at what happen when they saw Ghost attack the man and was about to tell him to get off but was stop by Fox who held his hand up stopping them.
Not hearing an answered Ghost use his free hand and push the man's face to the ground and then with a heave he broke the guys arm, the man scream in pain but was muffled by the dirt as Ghost said once more "That was one should I go again or are you gonna tell me who you work for."
Seeing no answer again Ghost then dislocated the mans shoulder getting another muffled scream before Ghost said out "That's two want to go some more or should I just go down low."
The man started whimpering and then he broke down as he told them who he was and who he worked for and when he was done Ghost then snapped his neck like a twig shocking the shinobi which Tenten voiced out "What the hell you killed him!"
"So?" Asked Ghost like he was talking about the weather before he answered "He's the enemy we leave him alive he'll tell his buddies that back up arrived and we can't looked after him so he's dead weight so better off just to kill him."
"But how would you even know he was the enemy?" Asked Hana
"His attire." Answered Fox as the team turn towards him and Ghost started stripping the man's clothes, seeing the confuse looks Fox elaborated "The uniform the man was wearing is from a high ranking officer in our branch of military so he must look proper and respectable, that and he was to young to be wearing that clothes because it takes a long time and patience to get to that rank and lastly was that he answered yes to devil dog."
"Devil dog?" Asked a confuse Rock Lee
It was then Ghost came back with the man's clothes draped on his arms before he put it in his bag as he answered "In our world our military has a name of sorts incorporated to one another, devil dog belongs to the Marines which is different from our branch so when he answered yes in those clothing we knew he was a fake."
The team nodded to what he was saying until Tenten asked "If Marines are called devil dog so what do they call your branch?"
"Frogmen." Answered the two mercs which confuse the shinobi before Ghost called out "All right enough show and tell we got to move sonvabitch only told us that he was with the bandits which total about 80 at least and he hang back to see if any back up would arrive so he would lead them to his friends so we need to find those villagers now I'll take point, Hana, Neji your behind me, the three of you are next Fox bring up the rear."
The six acknowledge the orders and so the team of seven quickly moved.
It was a while later that the team was slowly trekking through the forest while they kept their senses sharp for anything when all of a sudden Ghost stopped and put his hand up making them stop too, Ghost then signal them to wait as he slowly walked to a nearby tree and lean against it and was quiet for a moment before he shouted out
"HEY DUMBASS! SMELLED YOU A MILE AWAY WHAT THE HECK IS THAT YOU CALL YOURSELF A SNIPER MUST BE A MARINE JARHEAD IF THAT"S THE BEST YOU GOT."
The team minus Fox was shock for a moment at what he was doing and was about to asked until a voice came out
"MARINE, YOU THINK I'M A GODDAMN JARHEAD PLEASE I'M A SEAL BABY BORN AND RAISED TO BE ONE."
"A SEAL BROTHER WHAT RANK?"
"OHH NO HOW DO I KNOW IF YOUR A SEAL TOO."
"I AM A SEAL YOU ROOKIE BECAUSE IT PAYS TO BE A WINNER."
There was a tense silence for a moment before the voice shouted back "ALL RIGHT COME ON UP BUT TRY ANYTHING FUNNY AND YOUR DEAD GOT IT."
It was then Ghost motion the team to move up and so they did until they saw a figure wearing some what look like plants and leaves all over his body which would have made the shinobi miss him if they didn't look properly, the figure got close and then he reveal his face to show a man with a crew cut hair and green eyes his face was covered with green and black paint.
"So you must be back up." Said the man which Ghost nodded at before the man motion him to follow and the team did for a while until they reached a cave.
All of them went inside being led by the man until another figure came out from there who was and old man around his mid forties with grey hair showing his age but when the shinobi saw him he looked like he excluded respect and they couldn't help by be awe at it Ghost and Fox along with the man stood straight and saluted the man which he return in kind before all of them relax as the old man spoke up
"So you guys must be from that place called Konoha right."
"Yes sir." Answered Ghost
"Good but I thought it was what they call it ahh a ninja village never thought I see a fellow seal brother here."
"Thank you sir, Master Petty Chief Officer Simon "Ghost" Riley and this is my partner Naruto "The Fox" Uzumaki-Namikaze behind us are Jounin Might Guy, Chunin Hana Inuzuka, Genin Tenten Higurashi, Neji Hyuuga and Rock Lee."
The man took a look at the group before him though he had to raised his eyebrow at Guy and Lee for their choice of clothing but he didn't mind that though he frown at seeing kids here and he voiced out "Kids you brought kids here."
The shinobi team blinked for a bit before Ghost answered "No my call sir, orders from top and apparently that's how they operate."
The man couldn't help but sigh before speaking out "Fine Rear Admiral Alex Cole this is my son Seaman Nathan Cole."
The team nodded before all of them headed deeper into the caves as Alex explained what happen in the village as the bandits attack and how he and his son along with one more held them off so the villagers could get to safety by another which was these caves. It was then Ghost asked
"Who are the other two with you?"
"My wife Janet who came with me to congratulate my son on his first sniper mission and well the other is his spotter from the company."
The last word made the two mercs grimace which the man noted as he asked outloud "Bad experience huh?"
Fox then answered "To us the only good Spook is a dead one."
Alex looked at the two for a moment with a knowing sigh as he had some experience in that department and they went further until suddenly a figure jumped out with a gun pointed at them and the shinobi was tense until Alex barked out "Hold up its us, back up arrived."
The figure then said in an accent "Bloody hell Alex you almost made me shoot you."
From the caves came out a brunette woman who by far was sexy in the minds of the team and she was showing it off by wearing a black latex suit that hug her perfectly eventhough she was dress for battle with some pouches on her waist and a MP7 in her hand. The woman looked at the team before she said "These are our back up huh well Catherin Halsey pleasure to met you."
She held out her hand to shake but to her surprise the two mercs didn't do it which made her ask in her Australian accent "What your mother never told you to greet people?"
Fox looked at her with a glare behind his mask before he answered "She did but our dad told us never trust anyone who lies to you in his face."
"What do you mean?" Asked 'Catherine' with a cool demeanor though if looked closely she had a small twitch on her finger which was then Ghost followed it up "Don't bullshit that's not even your real name you can fool the rookie over there but we can smell you spooks and right now you reek of one." The aforementioned spook glare at the two mercs as Ghost turn towards Nathan and said "Kid if this is your spotter than you better have you gun and knife ready cause if she's lying about her name who knows what else she's lying about."
The aforementioned rookie look at the two with shock on his face while the woman was glaring hard at the mercs for that remark and was about to retort when another voice came out "Now now no need to be so hostile to each other." Everyone there turn to see a lady around Alex's age coming out wearing a normal white dress with a kind smile on her face as she look at the group. Before anyone could say anything, an explosion was heard and everyone there quickly turn to the front of the cave.
"Shit their close." Said Alex and then he turn to the team and told them "There getting close our traps won't hold them off long you guys came to help then help."
Ghost nodded as he then barked out "All right listen up those bastards are coming close this is what we're gonna do, Neji your with me and Nathan you'll be our eyes anyone outside this cave will be an enemy your job is to point them out we'll take them out with our rifles better hope that SR 25 still got some ammo kid looks like its gonna be a long fight ahead of us."
Nathan bristle at the kid remark but nodded the same before Ghost turn to the others "All right Fox mow them down, Guy, Lee, Hana you guys take the fight to them but don't go more than 25 meters don't want any surprises from them."
Four of them nodded in response as Ghost turn to the remainder of the group "All right Tenten, Sir you guard the cave entrance anyone besides us take them out Fox give the man your gun."
Tenten nodded as did Alex as he took the SPAZ from Fox and inspect it for a bit before he got ready and then Ghost said to the two woman "All right Spooky your the last line of defense and you miss?"
"Janet."
"Right Janet know how to shoot?"
"Who do you think I am sonny."
"Hehe got yourself a fine lady sir here." Said Ghost as he handed Janet his GLOCK with some ammo for it which she then inspect before flipping the safety off.
Once he say that everyone was ready he barked out ''All right move out."
( Ghost, Nathan, Neji )
"All right set up shop here." Said Ghost as he and Nathan set up their nest which was a cliff which overlook the forest in front of the caves.
Once they were done Neji quickly use his BYAKUGAN to spot the bandits which he quickly pointed out and that's when the shooting first start with Ghost taking out one of them with a headshot that rang throughout the forest.
Nathan set his sights as Neji pointed one 3/4 miles out which he took and killing the guy. After that shot he had to ask Ghost "So umm sir back then how did you know I was there?"
Ghost took out one more before cocking the gun letting the bullet come out calmly answered "Easy kid -BANG- the casings you left back in the village was a sniper round so I knew that there was a sniper -BANG- and when I saw the cliffs -BANG- I knew that you would be there because this mountain overlooked the whole area -BANG- that and the fact you set traps -BANG- on almost everywhere -BANG- but the path we use means you were setting a killzone -BANG-."
Nathan was slightly shock at how Ghost calmly told him how he was found out before he even sight his team down which in the back of his mind told him that this was someone that was leagues above him as he quickly set down his sights once more.
( Fox, Lee, Guy, Hana )
"FANG OVER FANG"
That was what the bandits heard before they saw a giant twister heading towards them tearing them apart and those around it, after a while it stop to see Hana along with her triplet pups all there ready to attack which they did as they all became feral and tore the bandits apart limb from limb using their claws and teeth.
One of them tried to blindsight her but it was then intercepted by a green blur with a shout of DYNAMIC ENTRY and from there the bandit was sent flying from a double kick made by Guy before he flipped back dodging a strike. He landed into the middle of a group of bandits on his hands and with it he spun his body legs outstretch into a whirlwind kick taking them out.
Lee block a strike with his hand before giving the bandit a snap kick which sent him flying into the trees, ducking Lee avoided a swing and then he gave an uppercut to the man's jaw sending him a few feet in the air before he appeared on top of him giving him an axe kick sending him to the ground.
"YOSH I SHALL DEFEAT ALL OF THESE UNYOUTHFUL BANDITS IF NOT I WILL RUN ALL AROUND KONOHA 300 TIMES WITH A BOULDER STRAPPED TO MY BACK."
Some of the bandits blinked at the proclamation before they charged in once more.
Naruto on the other hand was slaughtering them as the LMG tore through their ranks like it was nothing with its 5.56×45mm NATO rounds, one managed to get close but all he did was ended up being stabbed by the bayonet right into the gut. Fox then saw a bandit running towards him, knowing he had no time to get rid of the body stuck on his blade he fired the gun and the bullets went through the body and hit the other guy killing the man.
Once that was done Fox quickly kick the body of the bayonet then he shouted out "GET DOWN"
On instinct the three shinobi got out of the way and once that happen Fox did a sweep with his gun as the bullets mercilessly turn the bandits into swiss cheese and those that didn't die was crying out in agony from the wounds.
Finishing the sweep Fox quickly took out his GLOCK and fired off rounds right into the chest of another bandit who almost got near him, he turn back to see the three shinobi still fighting as he thought "This is gonna be a long day."
( Alex, Tenten )
"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee can I see the weapon pretty please." Said Tenten using her puppy dog eyes justu as she wanted a closer look at the unique weapons that Ghost and Fox brought along and right now she was really curious about them since the two didn't relent when she first asked on the way to the village.
"No." Alex said plainly which made her deflate at the blunt answer before suddenly she and Alex turn to see some of the bandits who managed to pass Fox's group.
First shot was fired when Alex blew the man's head of with the SPAZ which made some stop in their tracks for a moment which Tenten capitalized by unleashing a hail of kunais and shurikens taking the rest out.
Once it was clear Alex had to quipped "Well this is gonna take a while well little girl hope your ready."
Tenten did nothing more than gave him a cheeky grin.
( Ghost, Nathan, Neji )
"One...two...three...-BANG-."
The bullet from Nathan's gun flew straight and true but at the last moment his target turn into the trees making the shot miss which Nathan curse for a bit as he was getting agitated, he quickly lined up another shot when a voice spoke out
"Don't count."
Blinking Nathan turn to see Ghost saying something to him while not taking his eye off his scope as Ghost continued on
"Counting makes you nervous, just let it flow through you don't think about anything else but your target, take a deep breath -inhale- then exhale -exhales breath- line it up...and let it fly -BANG-"
And what happen shock Nathan to his core as he saw the bullet taking out two men and fatally injuring a third showing just how good he is.
Seeing this Nathan return to his scope as he tried to remember what Ghost said and once he did he fired once more effectively killing the man which Nathan blink as he realized what Ghost said worked and being focus on the task at hand he didn't notice Ghost having a small smile behind his mask as he continued firing.
It wasn't another twenty minutes later that the bandits decided to back off for now and started to run with their tails behind their legs which made some of them sigh in relief as fatigue was slowly setting in.
The group then return to the caves to rest for a bit as the battle took a toll on some of them mainly Fox's group as they went and fight head on. After a small break Ghost decided to speak up
"Well we know that the enemy knows where we are right now the problem is how many are there, we don't have the numbers and I think they might have some back up."
Alex decided to quipped in "Seems we're at a disadvantage as we don't even know how many there are actually so what are we gonna do about it?"
Ghost took a moment before he voice out "Your not I am."
That statement took the team of guard before Ghost elaborated "We're stretch as it is, back up ain't gonna make it in time so I am gonna infiltrate their camp and assess their strength and if I could maybe hinder them a bit."
"That's suicide and you know it." Said Alex as he heard the plan.
"I know but suicidal missions are our specialty." Said Ghost calmly as if he been in this situation before.
All of them looked at Ghost for a moment as they ponder whether it was the right thing letting him go alone but he wouldn't have it any other way as they were really stretching the number of people protecting the villagers so without any choice Ghost gave Fox the INTERVENTION sniper rifle and headed off into the night.
( Ghost )
"For a bunch of bandits they ain't that half bad." Thought Ghost as he slowly follow the bandits to their hideout using his tracking skills he honed through years of experience.
He managed to tailed them until they reach a certain area of the woods which made him back off as he saw some guards in a perimeter of sorts and couldn't help but shake his head at how relax they were despite the fact nearly half of their comrades died and those that return were looking worse for wear which made so he took out his blade which shone dangerously under the moonlight before the clouds darken and covered the moon which made Ghost grin behind his mask as he started stalking the guards.
He slowly waited until the first batch of guards separated which was where he made his move as he stalk two of them silently under the covers of darkness which was oblivious to the guards as they were busy chatting and laughing not knowing that tonight was their last night on this plane.
Once he got close Ghost quickly stab his blade right onto the back of the throat of one of them killing him without any sound other than the dead man's gurgling, the other guard had no time to react as Ghost quickly got behind him in a headlock which caused the bandit to struggle until Ghost snapped his neck with an audible sound ending the man's life.
Ghost then retrieve his blade before quickly hiding the bodies in a nearby bush, after that he went deeper into the camps.
Once in all he had to do was use the shadows and the tents the bandits set up to sneak in their camps, there weren't a lot of them as they had to drag their comrades who were screaming in pain from the bullet wounds they got from the failed assault they did so Ghost had little trouble on that part.
He slowly made his way to the biggest tent which he assume would be the head honcho's tent, once he reach there he took out his blade and made a small hole on it so he could see what was going on and all he heard was shouting.
"I gave you all a simple order and you fools can't even get that right now I want you to get rid of those people before anyone figures out what's going on here!"
Ghost tried to look but from his point of view was block by a chair so all he heard was two people shouting at each other
"Don't take that tone with me you piece of shit I followed what you said and that was to get rid of them, you were suppose to make sure they didn't call for help which they did and it was Konoha shinobi that my men fought along with those four people that came out of nowhere, this shit has gone down the drain we should cut our losses and get out of here."
"Are you crazy that mountain has a treasure trove of minerals that he want's you don't want him to know about our failure right."
"Yeah well what are we suppose to do?"
"Simple we attack en mass at dawn they'll be to tired by then and once we wiped all of them out then the big guy can do whatever he wants and we get to have some extra cash."
"You sure we can trust that guy I mean you do remember his rep right?"
"Of course not so that's why we'll take some of the minerals there and sell them off and and none will be the wiser if he decided to cut us out we'll send the expendables to collect and we disappear."
"Hmmmm I like the sound of it all right get the men ready we strike at dawn."
It was then Ghost managed to see one of them who was a man with black hair tied into a rough ponytail and he had a scar on his cheek which he made a mental note to capture, he couldn't see the other one and it was then a bandit entered the camp saying that they found the two dead guards and that's hen he realized he overstayed his welcome and like his namesake he disappear back into the darkness with only his mask remaining visible before that too disappear as one thought entered his mind
"They're gonna have a rude welcome once I'm done."
