Chapter 5: The Kidnapped Dratini (Part 2) and Root
They sat there waiting for Madara and Reto to come back so they could go save Grandeeny.
As they say there, Wendy looked at Naruto before she asked a question that was on her mind.
"Um, Naruto," Naruto turned his head to the left to look at her, "I was wondering about something. Where did you get that black Charizard? I know that there are shiny Charizards because my parents taught me about shiny pokemon, but your's is darker, has a red belly, and has a weird design in his eye. Also, what is up with that design in his eyes anyway?"
Naruto blinked owlishly as he couldn't believe a young girl like her could say so much words in a sentence before he leaned back slightly as he looked to the sky with a fond smile on his face.
"So you've been curious about Madara, have you? Well, I got Madara about a week ago as a Charmander when my teacher took us to the local Professor to get our starter pokemon. He looked as lonely as I did before because no one would even look or acknowledge him at all, but I saw what they others of my class didn't. I saw his potential to be the best in his eyes and the incredible determination to never give up. From then on, we were partners ever since."
Wendy's eyes widened in suprise and awe as she looked at Naruto with starry eyes.
To train a pokemon within a week to its final evolution was incredible, even for so called Pokemon Prodigies that are said to be the next members of the Elite Four or even the Champion themselves.
Wendy still realized that he didn't answer her second question.
"That's incredible, Naruto, but you didn't tell me what was up with his eyes?"
Naruto quirked an eyebrow at her before he looked back up a the sky.
"I guess I didn't. To tell you the truth, I don't even know how Madara's eyes work for the most part. I just know that they give him many incredible abilities to him, that no other Charizard will ever hope to gain. Heck, maybe even the legendaries wouldn't be able to have such an ability like Madara's ability. One ability that his eye's can do, I'm certain for sure, is the ability to read and predict his opponent's movements and act upon it because I have spared with him many times and, every time we fight, his eyes glow redder before every attack I make and he immediately knows how I'm going to attack. Although this sounds really impressive, Madara hasn't mastered this ability just yet so were waiting for him to master it before we attempt to discover any other abilities."
Wendy couldn't believe what she was hearing.
A pokemon to have so many abilities just do to some eyes and the fact that not even legendaries could have his abilities was simply astonishing to hear for her.
Also, to hear that one of the abilities gives the pokemon the ability to predict the opponents attack would practically make the pokemon invincible as it could know what to do in that situation. Despite it not being mastered, Wendy has no doubt in her mind that this ability would give any person a HUGE advantage against any type of opponent.
Her mind suddenly registered all of what he said before she looked at Naruto like he was insane.
"YOU SPAR WITH YOUR POKEMON?! ARE YOU INSANE?! HOW DO YOU SURIVE?!"
Naruto rubbed his ear with his left hand before he sat up straight to look at her.
"Um, before I answer, could you stop suffocating Kushina?"
Wendy blinked before she looked down to see the comically agonizing face of Kushina in her Poliwag form. She immediately loosened her grip and Kushina gave a sigh of relief, causing her to give an embarrassed chuckle and looked at Naruto apologetically.
"Sorry, it's just that I've never heard of a person, besides my dad, fight their pokemon personally."
Naruto raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"So her dad also spars with his pokemon? Wonder what their like?"
Naruto shook his head to think about that later and said,
"Well, I guess it is hard to believe that a 10 year old boy like me trains with their pokemon and spars with them as well."
Wendy and even Kushina nodded as it did sound incredibly incomprehensible, causing Naruto to sweat drop at their reaction.
"The only explanation I can give you as to why it's possible for me to train with my pokemon is because I'm an Aura Guardian."
Wendy's eyes sparkled in wonder, making Naruto believe that she knew what that was, before she titled her head in confusion.
"What's an Aura Guardian?"
Her statement caused Naruto to face fault along with Kushina as they simultaneously.
"If you didn't know what it was, why did you look so excited?/(If you didn't know what it was, why did you look so excited?)"
Naruto sighed as he regained his composure.
"To tell you what an Aura Guardian is, I have to explain what Aura is. Aura, by definition, is the very essence of every living being, which include pokemon and humans alike. An Aura Guardian is someone who can utilize their Aura with their own will, making it possible for them to form weapons or even attacks they have created. The only limit is their imagination. Aura Guardians usually travel around the world and pass on their teachings to an apprentice."
Wendy was in awe as she listened to Naruto's explanation.
"I, though, am a special case. I'm a Psychic Aura Guardian, which is incredibly rare to find the world as most Psychics and Aura Guardians dislike one another. I'm able to use Pyschic powers as my aura makes me the only Aura Guardian in history to ever have the ability to use all the elements of pokemon, which also means I'm able to use their attacks as well as create my own. So that's what an Aura Guardian is. Do you understand?"
Wendy nodded dumbly as she was still processing in her 5 year old mind.
Naruto didn't mind giving that knowledge to Wendy as he felt that she would't seem like the type to tell others and most of the things he said about Aura Guardians could be found pretty much everywhere as long as there was a library.
Wendy, after finally processing all the information in her head, asked,
"If your an Aura Guardians, does that mean you had a teacher? If so, how come their not with you?"
Although it came as an innocent question from the 5 year old girl's mind, Naruto winced as he contemplated on whether he should tell her or not. Thinking that maybe telling someone about his pain would cause it to lessen, despite the person being 5 year old girl, said,
"Well, I didn't have a physical teacher. I learned to become an Aura Guardian from my parents notes that they left for me behind before they died."
Wendy gasped in horror as she immediately apologized.
"I'm so sorry! I-I-I didn't know!"
Naruto chuckled as he felt slightly better from letting that off his chest.
He waved his hand in front of his face, signally to her that it was fine.
"No, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault that they died."
"B-b-but I must've brought some horrible memories."
Naruto gave her a kind smile as he thought she was so sweet to care for his feelings.
"No, you didn't cause that to happen at all. In fact, I wanted to get that off my chat for a while, so thank you, Wendy."
Wendy looked unsure at him for a couple seconds until she nodded with a small smile when she saw that Naruto wasn't sad at all.
She thought about how strong Naruto must have been to be able to continue living on with his life and growing stronger. She knew that she wouldn't be able to live without her parents as they were everything to her.
She brought her head down in sadness as Kushina looked at her with worried eyes.
"You must be super strong, Naruto. I doubt I could be as strong as you if my parents were to die."
Naruto frowned as he saw that she really believed that before he reached out with his left hand and rubbed her head for a few seconds as she looked at him with teary eyes. He gave her an encouraging smile.
"Now don't say that, Wendy. I think that anyone can grow really strong as long as they never give up and not letting anything or anyone bring you down. I believe that you are one of those people with the potential to grow into someone that will cause a massive change in the world."
Wendy rubbed her eyes to clear the tears and looked at Naruto.
"R-r-really?"
Naruto nodded.
"I know so. I can see the massive potential in your eyes like I did with Madara and look where he's at now?"
Wendy seemed to get better instantly and smiled a bright smile that caused Naruto and Kushina to smile in response as the smile on her face complemented her character.
"Thank you, Naruto!"
Naruto chuckled.
"Your welcome, Wendy."
They sat there in a peaceful silence as they smiled while looking at the sky, both feeling happier than they have ever been.
Naruto slightly turned his head to look at Wendy, who was smiling softly as the wind blew, and closed his right fist really tight.
"I promise, Wendy. We will get your Dratini back and kick whoever's ass that dared steal it. An Uzumaki never goes against his word, BELIEVE IT!"
Suddenly, as if reading Naruto's thoughts, Madara came flying back to the clearing.
"(I found it, Master! It's directly northwest from this spot!)"
Naruto instantly stood up along with Wendy, who still currently held Kushina in her Poliwag form within her grasps.
"Great Job, Madara. Go find Reto and fly back to me as fast as you can! Hurry!"
Madara nodded and flew back in the air and started to look for Reto.
He turned to Wendy and nodded.
"Let's go get your Dratini back."
Wendy nodded back as her eyes shined with determination to save her Dratini.
"Just a little longer, Grandeeny! We're coming to save you!"
They then ran in the northwest direction as fast as they could.
5 minutes later
Naruto hid behind a bush with a slightly out of breath Wendy next to him as he looked at the scene before him.
He saw that the ones who took Grandeeny, who was currently unconscious inside a net being carried by the bigger grunt, were, in fact, 2 men. They both wore all black clothing. Black boot, black pants, black shirt, and black hat. Though, on the men's shirts the had a red capital R on there shirts, which caused Naruto's eyes narrow in anger.
"I should have known. ROOT was behind all of this the whole time."
ROOT. That was the name of the evil organization that formed in Kanto a few years ago. They were known throughout the world, being notorious for stealing other people's pokemon, robbing banks, experimenting pokemon, and conditioning pokemon to listen to all their commands be it mind control or torture.
In Naruto's eyes, anyone who would willingly work for ROOT were the scum of the earth and didn't deserve the right to own any type of pokemon at all.
Naruto held back a growl as he didn't want to frighten Wendy and Kushina, so he settled for grinding his teeth and clinching his fists until they bled.
"I swear, when I'm done with you, you guys will wish you were never born."
They watched as the bigger grunt carrying Grandeeny walked up to a shed that they just noticed and knock on the door. They saw that he said a few words before the door was open and he walked in as the door shut behind him while the second grunt, that was slightly smaller to the first one, walked to the door and stood in front of it.
He turned his head to right as he addressed Wendy.
"Wendy, I want you to take Kushina and yourself away from this area and hide until I come back with your Dratini, okay?"
Wendy was about to protest, but stopped once she saw the look in his eyes.
The same look she saw in her dad's eyes when something bad was about to happen or when he got serious.
She reluctantly nodded and ran with Kushina behind some trees not too far from the shed.
Naruto, feeling that she wasn't nearby, closed his eyes as he channeled his Psychic energy and connected to Madara's mind.
"Madara, have you found Reto yet?"
He waited for a few seconds until he got a reply.
"(Yes, I found him just a couple seconds ago. We're heading to your position now. Why? Did something bad happen?)"
"No, nothing bad has happened that I know of, but when you get here, I'm going to need you to do something for me with Reto to distract the one of the men you saw. Can you do it?"
Naruto swore he could feel Madara's smirk form in his mind.
"(Do you really have to ask, Master?)"
Naruto smiled.
"I guess I didn't, but please, get here as fast as you can."
"(Of course. We'll be there in a couple of seconds.)"
Naruto nodded in satisfaction.
"Great. Immediately commence with the distraction as soon as your here so I can easily get in with no problem and deal with some bastards."
With that, he ended the connection and waited for any signs of Madara or Reto.
It was silent for a few minutes until Reto and Madara suddenly appeared in a great burst of speed, seemingly fighting.
The Grunt looked at the 2 with an evil smirk on his face.
"Hehe, maybe if I catch these 2, the Boss'll give me a raise for doing such a great job."
He then walked closer to them as he reached for a pokeball on his waist.
Naruto sneaked silently behind him. When he was directly behind the grunt's back, Naruto jumped up and hit him with an Aura charged chop to the back of the neck, making him go unconscious to to floor as the pokeball rolled out of his hand.
Naruto tied him up with some of the rope in his backpack before he took all of the man's possessions and stored it into his bag.
He looked up at Madara and Reto.
"Thanks for the distraction guys. I know you want to help more, but I want to PERSONALLY deal with them, so for now, you guys can watch from outside to make sure that no one runs. Alright?"
They begrudgingly accepted his proposal as they saw the fury hidden behind his eyes and shivered slightly in fright as they never seen him so pissed off.
They simultaneously thought.,
"(Who ever pissed of Master/Naruto is totally going to get their ass beat so hard)"
Naruto then walked up to the door before he took in a deep breath. He brought his right fist up to his face and charged it with an incredible amount of Aura. He brought his arm back before thrusting it forward.
This caused the door to break off it's hinges and fly directly to one of the ROOT grunts inside, instantly knocking him out.
What he saw inside caused him to see red.
Inside were 5 grunts, not including the knocked out one, surrounding a table with, what he presumed to be Grandeeny, on the table. Although that doesn't sound bad, the thing that made Naruto pissed was that there was a scientist who looked like he just took some blood from the Dratini and that the Dratini looked like it was beat to unconsciousness again, if the purple bruises on her body was any indication.
One word ran through Naruto's head.
"DESTROY!"
The grunts, seeing one of their own men being taken down easily by a kid, immediately stood at attention, facing him and released each of their pokemon, which were a total of 10 pokemon that ranged from Raticates to Zubats.
Thinking that they would win because of their numbers, they smirked before one of them said,
"Just give up kid, there's a total of 16 of us and one of you. There's no way you can win against us."
Naruto didn't even bother to listen to the man's statement as he looked at the pokemon before he thought,
"Pathetic."
He raised his left arm and opened his hand.
This caused his hand to glow pink as the grunt's and their pokemon were surround by a pink aura.
"What the hell?!"
"I can't move!"
"What's going on?!"
Naruto looked into each of their faces before he said,
"I have no time to deal with scum like you."
He closed his fist, causing them to collide with one another. He then raised his fist slightly as they rose with his fist and brought it down, where they were brought down with stunning speed that knocked them unconscious as they moaned in pain.
The scientist, while Naruto was dealing with the grunts, went as fast as he could ejecting the blood of the Dratini into a test tube that was plugged with a cork. He then set down on a machine that looked similar to the pokemon trading system and typed into his computer a few keys. He hit one final key and watched as the test tube disappeared with a flash of white.
He sighed in relief on making it on time, but wasn't able to enjoy it any longer as he yelped when he was grabbed roughly around the collar where he was face to face with a scowling Naruto.
Naruto shook the scientist as he demanded,
"What the hell did you do with the vial?! Tell me!"
The scientist just shook before he smirked evilly at him.
"I'll never tell you a thing and even if I did, it wouldn't matter as it probably arrived at that place already."
Naruto snarled and brought his head back before slamming his head against the doctor's face, which caused his nose to break with an audible crack.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! My beautiful nose!"
Naruto shook him some more before demanding,
"Tell me what you know now or else your nose isn't the only thing I'll be breaking."
The scientist stared defiantly at Naruto.
"Never."
Naruto smirked evilly before he said,
"I was hoping you would say that."
For a couple of minutes, all that could be heard from the area was girlish man shrieks of terror and agony.
15 minutes later
Naruto looked at the tied up group of ROOTs with an annoyed expression, especially towards a heavily bruised and bleeding scientist while Madara and Reto looked at their trainer with comical fear.
"(Note to self: Do not anger Naruto/Master unless I want to die.)"
Naruto sighed as he rubbed his temples.
"The stupid scientist wouldn't even tell me anything. Must've been some training that he had to endure while in ROOT. Tch, didn't even get any information out of him. Might as well return Grandeeny to Wendy before she gets too worried."
Naruto turned around to look at Madara and Reto.
"Can you two carry these idiots so we can hand them over to Office Jenny when we return to the city?"
They both stood straighter and hooded obediently without saying a word as Naruto raised an eyebrow at them.
"What's wrong with them?"
He decided to shrug it off and carried the healed Grandeeny on her back and proceeded to find Wendy.
Virdian City
Naruto smiled as he looked at to his right to see a happy Wendy crying tears of joy and hugging the recently conscious Grandeeny, who looked equally as happy to see her trainer again.
When Naruto found Wendy, he presented Grandeeny to Wendy, who gasped and let go of Kushina, who changed back into her MEW form and flew over to Naruto's right shoulder, as she ran to him and hugged Grandeeny to her chest.
She kept thanking him so many times while Naruto kept saying it was fine. He told Wendy what happened and how he dealt with the men, leaving out the part of brutally torturing one of them. They then left back to the city, where they met up with Office Jenny, who took the ROOT members into custody and praised them for their great work.
"I'm glad that you have your Dratini back, Wendy."
Wendy and Grandeeny stopped hugging each other for a second to smile at Naruto.
"Thank you, Naruto. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to save Grandeeny."
Naruto smile grew bigger.
"It was no problem as long as your happy."
They chuckled and giggled respectively as they were happy with how the day ended.
Naruto looked up at the sky to see that it looked like it was around the afternoon and gave Wendy and Grandeeny a sad smile.
"I'm really sorry, Wendy, but I have to start heading out to the next town."
Wendy's eyes widened in shock and sadness before they returned to normal, but with an understanding look in her eyes.
"Oh, ok. It's fine. You have your own adventure to go on right?"
Naruto frowned a little as he saw how depressed she was before he crouched to her level and gave a smile.
"Hey, don't be sad. This isn't the last time you'll see me. I promise, when I have the time, I will visit you ok and it's not like you're alone, right? You have Grandeeny and your parents don't you?"
Wendy looked up at Grandeeny, who smiled and called her name encouragingly, with teary eyes before she turned to Naruto. She wiped her eyes and looked at Naruto with happiness and no trace of sadness at all.
"That's right. I have Grandeeny, Mommy, Daddy, and now, you, but you really promise to visit?"
Naruto's smile turned to a smirk.
"Of course, I promise to visit and if there's one thing about me that you need know, then it's that Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze will never break his promises, BELIEVE IT!"
Wendy, when he heard his verbal tic, giggled at how cute it was.
Naruto, despite being embarrassed about saying his verbal tic, was happy that Wendy was happy again.
Naruto turned around so that his back was facing Wendy and waved behind him as he left.
Wendy watched with a smile on her face with Grandeeny resting her head on her should smiling at her happiness until he disappeared from her view.
"WENDY!/WENDY!"
Wendy turned around and was suddenly enveloped in a hug along with Grandeeny by a brown haired woman with green eyes who was wearing black high heels, blue jeans, and white blouse while behind her was a man that had spiky black hair with brown eyes who was wearing black boots, white pants, a red vest with a white undershirt, and a scarf with a white dragon scales design.
These were Lucy Heartfilia Dragoneel and Natsu Dragoneel, Wendy's parents as well as one of the top coordinators and Dragon-specialist Elite Member respectively.
Natsu looked at his daughter with worry and asked what happened to her.
For the rest of the day, Wendy explained what happened to Grandeeny and how Naruto was there to help save her from ROOT.
Natsu, after the explanation, heard the explanation, smirked to himself.
"Hm, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, huh? So, Kushina and Minato's child is in Kanto. With him being there child, there's not telling how far he's going to go."
Unknown Area
"Did it arrive, Fuu?"
"Yes, it arrived on time Danzo-sama."
In a basement like area with the only light being the from the ceiling with one kneeling down as they faced the other sitting down in a throne-like chair.
One was a young man with auburn colored hair and amber eyes. He wore a short, black jacket with red straps on the shoulders like all elite members of Root, which most likely shows allegiance to the organization. He also wore a red short kimono under the jacket with a black sash, a pair of black gloves, dark-colored pants, and regular sandals with straps that looked like it was possible to run in.
The other was a frail, old man, who had a cane on his person as he sat down. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged. He wore a white shirt, with a black or dark grey robe over the top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder. The robe concealed his right arm, which, if one looked closely, was bandaged.
These were Fu Kurai and Danzo Shimura .
Danzo smirked.
"Soon, my plans will come to fruition and the world will be in the palm of my hands."
