"Menma?"
Naruto's head was spinning a little, at the way the monster's energy was resonating with his a little, something that happens when sibling conduits are around each other. He decided to put the thoughts aside and work on chasing down the monster with Sasuke, who was making its escape. Naruto and Sasuke through flames at it but always failed to hit. Their flames were never fast or really accurate in fact. They never fared well with speed or accuracy in fact. They barely kept up with the monster who was blowing things up in the streets and jumping from building to building. Sasuke saw that they weren't going to catch him like this so he stopped Naruto.
"Look man, here's what we'll do. We'll charge both our flames into you temporarily and I'll throw you straight towards him to knock him out. Got it?" Naruto smiled and nodded. Naruto lent out his right hand and charged a heap of wild golden flames, and Sasuke cupped his hands over it and charged it with his own flames. When they were done, Sasuke then grabbed Naruto by the shirt and threw him towards the rampaging monster.
Naruto sailed threw the air like a rocket, black and gold flames were surging around him making him look like a shooting star. He quickly caught up with the red monster and struck him straight on. It was a huge explosion and they both fell into a huge dark alley. Sasuke started running to where they crashed until he was hit by a rocket of purple energy. He was hurled onto a building and nearly rolled off it. When he recovered he looked up in bleeding anger and saw a group of the cursed looking at him. They all then started dashing away, and Sasuke followed. There was know way he's going to let them get away this time. He planned on finding their leader and ending the shit with him once and for all.
Meanwhile in the dark alleyway, Naruto just woke up from unconsciousness after impact. His vision was blurred and the sun was now setting to night. It meant that he was knocked out for a long time and his gang didn't find him. When he looked up he saw a blurry figure of a man standing and starting to walk towards a bunch of what looked like Reapers. He was talking to them.
"Why the hell did you guys bust me out?" One of the reapers said "Cause the Mrs. wants you. Come with us" The unknown man agreed and started walking with them. One of the Reapers saw Naruto regaining consciousness and he was about to go and finish him off. The man turned his head half way to speak to the Reaper. His face was obscured but you could see a bright red light representing his eye. "Leave the kid alone, he's not any trouble dammit" The reaper wasn't listening to him so he got pissed. The man grabbed the reaper by the back of the neck, and it seemed like he was bio-leeching him to kill him. The Reaper member then crumpled onto the floor. The man then left with the rest of the Reapers who were now keeping their distance from him. Soon, they opened a giant sewer hole and they jumped in.
Naruto soon regained full consciousness but he was clearly tired from fighting Sasuke and then chasing down what ever that monster was. He looked at the sewer hole and racked his brain. "Those reapers jumped into that... I wonder... Maybe I can find their leader! I can finally end whatever the fuck they have with me!" Naruto then blew open the sewer drained and jumped in.
When he landed he was in a dark hallway. He kept walking and walking everywhere turning corners and such trying to find his way through, but it wasn't really working. He soon decided that he'll try some other time but then he saw convenient arrows that pointed where he should go. They were almost too convenient but Naruto didn't care. He wanted out of this place. He started walking following the arrows until he saw a huge door. He tried opening it but it was locked shut much to his annoyance. He cooked up a bunch of gold flames and he forced open the door in an explosion. When he peered inside he saw a woman just sitting on what looked like a throne. She was gorgeous, red hair, red eyes, red lipstick and nails. Even a red, kind of revealing dress. She must really like red. She seemed a little familiar. She looked at Naruto with a pleasant smile.
"Hello! You must be Naruto" The said blonde looked at her with confusion. "You... You're familiar I guess but have we met before? Who are you?" The woman then frowned sadly. "Aaww! How could you forget your Auntie Fuuka? You used to see me so many times back when my little sister Kushina was alive!" Naruto blinked in realization. He smiled in elation and sprinted towards her. "Auntie Fuuka!" He then jumped and hugged her, who was now standing, happy to see her nephew. "My my! You've grown so big! Let me think, you're 15 right?" Naruto shook his head. "No! I just turned 16 recently!" Fuuka smiled with raised eyebrows "Oh! I'm sorry, its been a long time." Naruto then thought and then quietly said "Why didn't Menma ever let us go to you when Mom died? Do you know what happened to him too?" Fuuka looked at him and sighed. "Me and Kushina... We didn't really stand eye to eye with anything, especially on what to do with you two if she was ever to suddenly die. Menma didn't agree with me either so he decided to keep you away from me. As for what happened to him? Hmm... I know that he was captured by the DUP. Listen carefully Naruto"
Naruto leaned forward to listen to what Fuuka was saying. "Naruto... The DUP is capturing conduits, to clone their powers. What they're looking to do is to build and army to take us all out. Their turning everybody against us conduits as well, because they fear our power. So instead of killing us all, they're take select few prime conduits and clone their power into blast cores... Then they clone the power in those blast cores and feed bits of it to multiple rounded up members of the DUP who have the conduit gene. To make them stronger. When a conduit is captured and they are not broken out in time before their power is drained into a blast core, they die. And I'm afraid if your brother may have already been drained" Naruto looked down, he was thinking. That monster that was busted out by the Reapers... Maybe that was the DUP building that took all the captured conduits. "I see, well what do you want to do about it?" Fuuka replied "I want you to join my gang, so we can bust them out together! We just busted out one today but we still have to bust out so many more!" Naruto looked down at his right arm and rolled up his sleeve to reveal the saints symbol to his aunt. "Sorry, no can do" Fuuka then smiled "Naruto, I understand. But soon, you'll realize that The Saints are the wrong way to go, and that they'll only slow you down. I'll let you leave, but not without this." She then handed Naruto a red phone that had a familiar skull symbol on it. "When you're ready, call me with this. Ok?" Naruto nodded and Fuuka smiled. She then led him behind the throne she was sitting on and to a wall. She put her palm on the wall and then it opened, revealing a sewer hall way and it had a hole to get back onto the surface.
Naruto then said goodbye to Fuuka and started walking towards the latter to get to the surface. "Hey auntie, what is your gang anyway?" Fuuka only smiled, amused by Naruto's unawareness. "You already know" Then the wall closed, shining the giant skull symbol, the Reapers' symbol before fading. Naruto raised his eyebrows in shock. "Auntie, she's the Reaper leader"
Naruto climbed out of the hole and stuffed the skull phone in his pocket. He texted Reyos to say that he was OK and the monster got away. Soon after walking around the City he made his way to the building where he and Sasuke first encountered the monster. He saw Semis going inside the garage. He was about to move closer to the building by jumping from roof to roof but he was stopped by Sasuke's voice. "You know, I've suspected the same thing, Naruto... This must be where they are cloning conduits" Naruto looked back and he saw Sasuke. He looked terrible. His hair was messed up and his clothes were ripped and torn. He had a vertical scar going right under his right eye. Judging from his expression, it was best not to ask what happened.
Naruto slowly turned his head around to face the building and menacingly said "Sasuke... We're going to get to the bottom of what happened today, and we aren't leaving until we know whats up in that building." On that note Naruto and Sasuke both jumped to the roof of the building and they burned a hole to fall through. When Naruto and Sasuke landed inside, they creeped around the building, dodging any DUP member. it seemed to be a warehouse type of deal. Soon enough they got to a door that wouldn't open until you had a pass to get in. Sasuke was about to find a DUP member to knock out so he could take the pass but Naruto did otherwise. He just busted the door down. The worked too.
What was behind the door was the most shocking thing ever. Rows and Rows of conduits in capsules. They were all drained, dead. And over them their were these small capsules of liquid. Each and everyone of them was filled with conduit energy liquids drained from the dead conduits. "No way.." Naruto exclaimed quietly. Sasuke just swallowed and started walking through the rows, trying to find his brother. Naruto did the same thing searching.
After awhile he went to the upstairs rows and found significantly less conduit capsules in there. He decided to look through and he then stumbled across a broken, destroyed capsule. Signaling that whoever it was, he busted out. He then looked at to the right of it and he saw a familiar blonde haired man and another familiar red haired man. His father, Minato, and Uncle Nagato. Above their capsules, he only saw one capsule that was mixed with both his dad and uncle's energy. "It seems like, they're trying to harvest their powers at the same time" Naruto then climbed up the capsules and pulled the gold liquid canister from the socket it was in. He looked at it and stuffed it in his pocket. There was no way in hell his family members would be used like this. He wanted to wake his members up but he knew they were dead. So he moved on. Naruto then stumbled across two people that looked really similar to Sasuke and he then dropped his mouth. He then picked up his cell and called Sasuke. "Sasuke..." "What"
"I think... I think I found... Not only your brother... But I think I found your dad... And the liquid canister containing their powers"
Sasuke then quickly found Naruto and saw his capsuled family members and he was beyond pissed. He quickly took the black liquid canister holding their powers. But when he did, it triggered the alarm. Naruto and Sasuke were both locked into the upstairs and couldn't get down. They didn't even have the power to bust open a wall to escape. Sasuke looked at his family members' canister and then he said. "Naruto, run your power through it." The blond looked at Sasuke with a weird face. "The fuck? We'll just blow it up! That'll just make things worse for us!" Sasuke turned and yelled. "Run your power through it! It'll give us the power to bust out of this hell hole before the DUP arrives!"
Naruto listened and reluctantly ran a current threw through the canister. He then exploded into a golden light and he closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them he was in a completely dark space, and his father and uncle were looking at him.
Minato smiled at his sun "Hello Naruto, this is the first time that we've actually been able to see each other, since I was taken away when you were born and all." Nagato nodded "I was taken long before you were born as well, Hello nephew" Naruto only blinked. "How the fuck are you two alive? You're supposed to be dead! Where the hell am I?" Nagato smiled "You're in a trance, our powers were transferred into that canister that you're right now absorbing. You're taking in both mine and your father's powers right now" Minato nodded and then said "This is probably only going to last a few seconds so I'll make it quick. Be careful Naruto, you're probably all on your own now, because I doubt that your mother is alive and I'm not sure about Menma, just know that you're going to have to fight a war soon. I believe you will be able to choose what will happen with conduits and humans in the end choose wisely." Minato then soon disappeared leaving just Nagato. Nagato frowned and then said "Boy, you have a serious path ahead of you, like your father said. Be careful! Plus don't worry about what happens to your powers. Remember, you've just taken in the golden flash and the red tempest. Farewell" He then disappeared and Naruto blacked out again.
He was soon woken up by Sasuke, who was in pain as well. "Naruto get ya ass up! We're bouncing! The DUP just showed up!" Naruto got up woozily and concentrated his flames along with Sasuke. They both blew up the wall and started to make their escape. When they got far enough away Naruto then spoke after stopping "Weird... My flames... It's still there but its more like a smokey ash type of thing now... Not just fire... Its mixed with black ash clouds and smoke... Like the Second Marquee Conduit, Delsin Rowe! I feel lighter on my feet as well... I'll have to test this shit out later!" Sasuke only looked at his hands too. "My black flames have thinned out now... Like lightning... But it's not lightning... It still lingers like a flame but its much faster as well! Interesting..."
When Naruto and Sasuke were just messing around talking and being amazed with themselves, the DUP showed up but this time they were attacking with super powers. Many of them were like the Ice soldiers Bertrand created years and years ago. Others were manipulating rocks the same way that the others were manipulating ice.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and vice versa. They both smiled and nodded and lunged at the DUP members.
Naruto was fighting in a blur of motion, much faster than he ever has before. He wasn't exactly flashing like his father was but it was like he was transforming into black and gold fire/smoke and attacking his enemies in close range, leaving them scorched, burned and ashed. Much like the Second Marquee Conduit Delsin Rowe. Sasuke was shooting people with black fiery lightning bolts. His brother was known for having black lightning so his flames were mixing with it. Also, whenever a DUP member was far away. He grew fire lightning ropes from the shadows under the DUP members and he would attack them with it. A move that his dad the black shroud was known for. Sasuke over all was like a new and improved Cole Macgrath, shocking and burning people from the shadows. It was a truly scary thing to watch. Naruto and Sasuke were both noticeably much faster, using their powers to enhance their speed.
Soon enough the DUP was defeated by the two Prime Conduits. Naruto and Sasuke both made their way back home, it was late as hell and they were definitely making everyone else worry. When Naruto walked into the building he was mobbed by Yugito, Roshi, Reyos, and Fuu. "What the hell? Where were you?! Why are your clothes torn? What the hell kid?!" Naruto payed them no attention, he just walked into his room locked the door and slept. Gaara and Utakata smirked knowing that he probably had a long day and night after their problem with the Monster.
Meanwhile Sasuke was in his room thinking over what happened today and what he found out about the Cursed when he was separated from Naruto. "I wasn't surprised with Orochimaru being there. But WTF? Anko? Itachi's ex girl... She's freaking crazy! I never knew she was a psychotic snake lady that attack you with purple wind. Crazy ass! I couldn't even land a hit on her. Orochimaru was no help too attacking me from behind? Glad I could leave whatever underground hell hole they lived in." Sasuke just rolled over and slept, he didn't know what to do and he decided to just wait until they made another move again and he and his gang will take care of them. He was smirking, imagining what the others. would think when they found the new powers he and Naruto had.
After a week of missions, Naruto was exhausted. He had trouble controlling his new powers, realizing he needed much less effort to do things and was now much more accurate when he concentrated. He was looking forward to sleeping in but then he saw Gaara walking out of the house and going into the forest. Naruto decided to follow him, curious of whatever the hell he was doing. Soon enough Gaara noticed him following. Naruto spoke up and said "Where the hell are you going bro? Konoha City is the other way!" Gaara just shook his head "I'm going to Suna City. My sister is there as well. I have to talk to my dad, and see my brother's grave. He died this month you know?" Naruto then blinked. He thought and decided
"Let me come with you!" Naruto wanted to know his member's back story so he decided to join him.
After stealing some random unlucky guy's car, which is really frowned at by the rest of the saints but Naruto and Gaara could care less, they made their way to Suna city. It took them about 3 hours and it was about 4 in the morning. When they got to the mountains over looking the desert valley city, they made their way to the graveyard. When they got their they saw Temari who was looking at Kankurou's grave silently. She noticed the two and she smiled and hugged Gaara, she turned and nodded to Naruto who just shrugged his shoulders. He was clearly tired from traveling. Gaara then spoke up to Temari "Soon enough, we're going to have to talk to Dad. The Reapers are growing stronger and we need to warn him before they make a bust onto the Dustmen. He's been an asshole recently until he called me 4 months ago saying sorry and shit. So I think we should help him." Temari nodded and Naruto was squirming about the Reapers. He didn't know what to think of them ever since his aunt was revealed to be the leader. After Temari said something about meeting dad for the first time in 6 years, an unknown girl showed up and said.
"You're not going to like what happened, you two, he's gone"
Naruto, Gaara, and Temari turned to face the girl.
The girl had long brown hair that was kept up in a ponytail. She also had smoky red eyes, as well as a curvaceous figure. She wore a black tank top. It was low-cut so you could see her sizable bust. She also wore light gray skin-tight sleeves that extended from her palms to her biceps. She wore the same colored leggings that stopped at mid-thigh and black vans. She had a faded tattoo of the Dustmen on her right bosom.
Naruto faced the girl completely and glared at her. He gathered smokey gold fire in his right hand and was about to charge until Gaara put his arm in front of his chest to make him stop.
"Pakura, what's going on?" The girl who was said to be Pakura just flipped hair out of her face and huffed. "Your dad was killed, drained and all of his power was put into a blast core. Like the conduits in Konoha City." Gaara raised his eyes. "Who's leading the Dustmen then?" Pakura's face scowled and she said "His brother Tetsujin, the same guy who killed and drained your dad as well"
Gaara's eyes flared at the news. He always had a problem with his uncle, he was always hungry for power, wanting to lead the dustmen and to be the head of the Sabaku clan. Now since Gaara left he did just that. "Take me to the Dustmen hideout. I have to speak to him" Pakura nodded and she asked for him and the others to follow her.
Soon after walking, Naruto noticed something. He looked at Gaara and he looked back at him. They both nodded and Naruto dashed in a smoky haze. He went appeared on top of a building where he grabbed somebody and threw the person off the building. The unknown figure recovered and landed on the ground in front of Gaara and the others. Naruto then continued to pursue whoever the person was. He threw a dagger sized smokey gold fire flame at the figure, who blocked it with a barrier of bright blue, sparkling light.
Naruto kept his left hand charged with smokey gold flames and aimed it at the figure. "Why the hell have you been following us?! You've been on our asses since we set foot in the damn graveyard! Come out the shadows and into the light!" The figure calmly walked out of the shadows and into the light revealing that it was a girl.
The girl had really long flowing blonde hair and light blue eyes. She wore a white loose long sleeved deep v-neck shirt that was a little revealing and a red short skirt that stopped at mid thigh. She wore sandal shoes on her feet as well. Over all what she wore was extremely skimpy and revealing, like Ino's.
She smiled wide and yelled "Naruto! It really is you! Oh and you look so different now!" Naruto dropped his mouth in shock and amazement. "Sh-Shion?! What, What the hell I thought you were in Kumo City!" Shion then quickly ran over to wrap her arms around Naruto who was still amazed, he was sweating a lot, he was nervous. That was a first. Gaara cleared his throat and then said "Naruto... Who is this?" Naruto only slowly swallowed.
"Shion Yamanaka... She's... My Ex girlfriend"
Aaaand Done! Done Done Done! Done!
