Sorry aorry, college assignments and my marvel cross story held me up, anyways glad you all enjoy this story cause here will be the end of the bandits so without further adieu here is the next chapter
0000000000000000000000000000000
Daybreak, the perfect time for an attack, this is what the bandits were hoping for as their failed attack the previous time failed but now they were all brimming with confidence as they think that they will be able to catch them off guard.
At least that's what they think but unknown to them, there is something lurking in the forest they trek and it will not show mercy to these bandits who pillar and plunder to sate their greed. So there he was stalking the bandits as they head what could very well be their doom, Ghost like his name sake waited for the right moment to strike.
After hearing of their plans, the merc quickly disappear from the enemies camp site to radio Fox and from their he told them of their plans. After a while he told him what should they do and listening intently Fox quickly relay Ghost's plan for the enemy to the rest of the defending group.
So now here he was ready to take down the enemy like those who stood before him and once the cliff was in sight, he struck.
Like lightning he quickly covered a bandit that was left too far behind on the mouth before stabbing him right into the back of his neck effectively killing him, then switching to the grenade launcher firing of the first salvo taking out a group ahead thus starting the battle.
The explosion caught all of the bandits of guard as they literally saw their comrades exploding into chunks and pieces, quickly they all turn to the source only to find the spot Ghost was in to be empty as if he was never there. They wanted to go check it out as now they lost the element of surprise but it was quickly banish as a shot rang out and next thing they know their buddies are losing their heads or having a gaping hole in their chest.
So with abandoning all reason they all charged in hoping to kill whoever was sniping them.
( With Fox and Neji )
"All according to plan." Said a smirking Fox as he took out another with Neji as his spotter, the plan Ghost cooked up was spot on as he attack them from behind and in the shadows while he herd them right into a very sweet spot for a kill zone and after that as they say will be history.
"Another one over there 35 yards out," Said the pale eyed boy.
Not even hesitating Fox lined up his sights again before pulling the trigger killing another bandit while explosions and screams rang out the entire forest as the traps they set up before did their stuff.
( Guy, Lee and Hana )
"Damn these guys just won't let up." Said an irritated Hana as she plow through another batch of bandits that manged to get through.
"DON'T WORRY, ME AND LEE SHALL DEFEAT THEM WITH OUR FLAMES OF YOUTH." Answered Guy jumping back to avoid a strike before lashing out with a spartan kick sending the bandit right into a tree with an audible crack. On the other end was Lee as he battle fiercely against a group of bandits with his Taijustu.
( Ghost )
"This is way too easy." Thought Ghost as he silently killed another bandit with his blade.
This was what he planned to do anyway, let him hang back and take out stragglers while the front served as the distraction and with Fox herding them with the sniper rifle along with the three shinobi. So all he had to do is kill some of them while taking one of the leaders alive which wasn't even a challenge as he spotted them from his perch.
He saw the look on the guy's face and to him it was priceless as he saw the man fuming at how his men were dispatch so easily, shaking his head he prepared for this part of the plan. Taking out a flashbang, he primed it before lobbing it at the helpless group, the bandits could barely react as the flashbang went off engulfing them in a bright light and a loud bang that started ringing in their ears.
The moment that happen was the opportunity Ghost had planned for as he whipped out his GLOCK and expertly fired all his shots right on the targets whereas the leader of that group was shot in the kneecaps, preventing him from running and easy enough he leisurely walked towards the man who managed to regain his sight but was now in pain.
Once he took sight of Ghost though, his face went as pale as sheet as he knew its was the end but lucky for him Ghost needed him alive so all he did was knock the guy out before dragging the body to a safe place since their were still more bandits in the area.
The battle rages on as the defenders held their ground against all odds while the bandits were being push back until an area with only one way in or out, once there the shinobi quickly jumped away from the place confusing the bandits when all of a sudden Nathan emerged from his spot with the SAW in hand and that spelled the end for the bandits as the LMG roared to life shredding the bandits. Try as they might the bandits could not escape the onslaught because of the killzone they were in and as such survival instincts took over as some of them charged ahead right into Nathan who continued to pelt them with gunfire.
On the cliff was Fox as he snipe any bandits Nathan couldn't take down quick enough, sure enough the bandits dropped like flies and a few seconds later the bandits were no more
Well on this side anyways, from the peripheral vision of his scope Fox saw the rest of the bandits that didn't take the bait were heading towards their other trap right in front of the caves and the moment they step foot in their will seal their doom, he couldn't help but think that Ghost might have an A-Team moment if he could actually see this. That brought a chuckle as he thought
"Ahhh, I love it when a plan comes together."
( Ghost )
"Man I do love it when a plan comes together." Said the man himself as he view from his position the bandits that were close to entering the caves and looking slightly higher he saw Fox repelling down the cliff while Neji walked down as if it were solid ground making him shake his head a little.
"I'll never get over those ninja magic mambo jumbo."
He looked behind him to see Alex, Janet and Catherine and the rest of the villagers all safe and sound along with his 'guest' who is incapacitated at the moment but he'll live. Turning back he took out a small detonator that he had and looking at the caves where the bandits were put a grin on his face despite the mask and then
"Bye bye."
The explosion wasn't really spectacular as he and Fox didn't bring a lot of C4 but it did its job in creating a rockslide taking the ones on the outside and also a cave in trapping the rest inside, it wasn't a sure kill method but he needed a couple more bandits to interro...I mean 'politely' ask who hired them. Sure a majority might be grunts but grunts might overhear something useful for the group and this will either disorientate them or wound them enough to show how serious they would go in their mission.
And thus ended the battle
( Hours later )
"We can't thank you enough for this." Said the village chief as the villagers were in the midst of packing for Konoha as they had to abandon the village due to it being destroyed by the battle
"No need just doing our job." Said Fox as he help a pregnant woman carry her bag onto the cart. The backup from Konoha did arrive though its was hours after the battle but they still help nonetheless with carrying and leading the villagers to Konoha so they could set up nearby for a new life.
Nodding the village chief went away to help the others and Fox turn back to help another villager with their stuff when a voice called out
"Well, well, if it isn't Foxy-kun. So how's your first time on a shinobi mission."
Turning, the Fox mask wearing merc saw none than than Anko walking towards him with a smirk on her face, the reason she came was because she was one of the few available at the time but when it turned out she wasn't needed much, she kind threw a tantrum like someone stole her cookie or something but nevertheless she was still helping out in the village.
"Hey Anko, to answer your question well I guess its the same as where I'm from so it wasn't much of a difference."
"Hehe, hey where is your brother?"
"Oh he's busy getting 'acquainted' with our new friends." Fox said cryptically
The moment he said that, Anko's eyes widen for a bit before she pouted and said "Some people just have all the fun." Making Fox chuckle as the two continued helping the villagers.
( Ghost )
"Wake up" Stated Ghost as he splash a bucket of water on the unconscious man, seeing him jolt was enough for the man as he got ready for what was about to come if he didn't cooperate.
"Right now that your awake." The man whipped his head to see Ghost standing before him and rage build up inside the man as he curse and swear at the man before him.
Feeling slightly irritated, Ghost just pulled out his pistol and fired at his foot. The result was instant as he was screaming in pain, satisfied Ghost continued on
"Now that I have your 'undivided' attention, I want to know who hired you."
"FUCK YOU."
Frowning behind his mask, Ghost took out his blade "Now that's just not nice."
The captured bandit didn't have time to react as the blade plunge right into the wounded kneecap, twisting it a little Ghost was trated to the sound of the man screaming once again.
"That was your first strike, you got two left and if I don't hear anything by the end of it then the kid gloves come off. Do you understand me?"
Not hearing a response, he dug the blade deeper making him scream in pain as he said once again "I said DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND."
"YES, YES, FUCK."
"Good, now again who hired you?"
"Never really met the guy that hire us but he sent someone to do the deal, creepy little bastard."
"Name?"
"Didn't give me a name but I know what he looks like, Wears glasses, white hair, about 15 maybe 16, couldn't see anything else he was wearing a cloak."
"Then his boss, what's his name."
"Orochimaru."
"So what does he want with the minerals in the mountains?"
"Hell if I know and that's all I swear."
Ghost look at the man for a moment contemplating whether to kill him or not, but seeing how he cop out so quick made him realize that he wasn't worth it so with that in mind he knockout the guy once more before hauling his sorry ass to the brig.
( A while later )
"You mean to tell me that this prick was hired by that bastard." Hissed out Anko when Ghost came back with the man in tow to the brig, and when he told them who he was working for well Anko didn't take it so well and nearly went berserk though it took a while for her to calm down but one could still see her fuming at the thought of her former sensei having a hand in this.
"Did you get anything else?" Ask Anko but all she got was a no making her fume even more so as she along with the rest of the people were heading towards Konoha
"I take it you and him have some history?" Ask Fox
Still in a foul mood, Anko managed to answer him "Yeah, my use to be my sensei when I was younger but then turned traitor and is now a missing nin, anyways since you guys managed to stop his goons I guess we're all well and good right"
But the answer that Ghost give wasn't the one she was hoping for "I doubt it, if he is as resourceful and cunning enough to evade capture for so long then ths is nothing more than a setback for him, he'll be back."
That really dampen the mood a little as they hoped that what Ghost said could be wrong but somehow everyone there doubt that.
( Unknown area )
"Orochimaru-sama, it seems that the bandits we hired have failed us." Said a white haired male as he knee before a shadowy figure who appears to be sitting on a throne.
"No matter, this is nothing more than a minor inconvenience, but do tell what you have found out?"
"Yes it seems that the Hokage's lost son has somehow return."
That manged to peak the figures interest as it lean forward slightly showing its yellow slit eyes "Do tell me more."
"Yes it seems that his lost son has somehow appeared in Wave and was founded by Kakashi's Team then after that he was seen coming back to Konoha with them, their origins were unknown as the Hokage set a tight lip on it and what's interesting are their weapons as what I could gather fires a projectile at high speeds."
"I see, keep up your surveillance and wait for the time to strike do not fail me."
"Yes master." Said the white haired man as he got up and walked out from the room, the figure on the other hand just lean back as he chuckle to himself as he wondered what this would bring.
( Two days later )
"So you want me to unlock my chakra now huh?" Ask a very intrigue Naruto as he stood in his families backyard with nothing more than his training pants on, showing his upper body to the whole world.
"Yep, we put it long enough so today's the day we get to teach you how to use chakra dattebane." Said a very exited Kushina as she along with Uzume stood acroos from him, off to the side was Kakashi and Jiraiya who weren't gonna miss this moment.
Simon wasn't there since he decided to train Nathan AKA the Rookie as he and Simon called him so they were going to the basement training room and for some reason, they could have sworn they heard screaming in the pass few minutes since they left the two there despite ths silencing seals on them.
It was just after the team got back to the village and went to report to the Hokage, after finishing it the group managed to see a frown adorn the man's face as he heard a traitor was planing something but couldn't do anything about it. What happen interestingly enough though was the amount of fangirls that Naruto had yesterday when Minato announce to the whole village that his long lost son has return, the first time he said it made a few villagers confuse for a moment but the moment he step out no one could say they weren't father and son base on how similar they look.
After that was a non stop afternoon as the younger blond duck, dodge, weaved and react with such skill that would make even an experience shinobi proud despite a majority of the male population glaring at him with envy. Don't get him wrong, he love a woman's body as much as the next guy but fangirls are a turn off for the young blond.
Now though was the start of his shinobi training as his mother called and the very first is to unlock his chakra which was weird enough for him as he was told that the reason they were train so young was to let the coils grow but his was already growing despite not using it, he chalked it up to the entity having a hand in this but back to it as he sat in a meditative position and it wasn't long till he felt a pull and then it all went black for him
( In Naruto's mind )
"Wow not what I really imagine?"
The blond look around to see him standing on what seems to be a sewer with the water just slightly above his feet when he look in front to see a big cage standing before him, that made him wonder how in the world him miss that but curiosity got the better of him as he walk up the cage. As he got closer, he got a gut feeling that something lurks there.
And just like that, once he got right in front of the cage, a claw came out of nowhere and slammed right into the bars startling the blond for a moment until he saw the blood slit eyes baring down on him but he stood firm at the beast before him.
"SO MY JAILER FINALLY DECIDES TO VISIT." Said the beast.
"So you're the Kyuubi huh?"
"YES, I AM THE GREAT KYUUBI NO KITSUNE YOU HAIRLESS APE, SO YOU WISH TO HAVE MY POWER."
What he got though was a surprising answer "No, not really."
"WHAT?"
"No, since for the most part I doubt you'll give it willingly, seal or not and you'll probably try to use this as an escape route am I right?"
The beast look at him for a moment before slowly it started to chuckle, confusing the blond until it slowly turn to a full blown cackle laughter until it slow down again as the beast spoke out
"YOU TRULY A WEIRD ONE, NEVER BEFORE HAD SOMEONE NOT USE MY MIGHTY POWER BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING YOU HAIRLESS APE BECAUSE I WILL DESTROY YOU THE MOMENT YOU FALTER."
The blond hardly even blink at the beast's challenge as he said "Just bring it." Before exiting his mind.
( Outside )
The blond managed to open his eyes back to the real world as he saw his mother and sister looking at him with some worry but he just asured them with a grin as he asked
"So what we gonna do next?"
