several days later
Leeds arrives at the door
.
looking rested Leeds asks, "are you ready for more?"
naruto bounces to the table, "I'm ready to chew kunai and spit senbon"
"sit, shortly we will continue"
looking to Nameless, {Mack and Bo need to see us at the Pit after training}
munching on snacks Leeds gets a drink and heads to the table
amused by the hyper naruto, fidgiting in the chair
.
.
kyuubi wakes up, `What is this?'
.
.
supprisingly to Leeds the mental paths to naruto are clear and easy
allowing more than one word slow shouting
compared to the previous visit
.
=lets introduce ourselves=
=as I told you I am Leeds a sullustran of high age=

.
=a multi corperation pesthole=
=the main product for the entire place is to build and support ships=
=each city was named after a races afterlife=
.
.
dropping the link, Leeds gathers his energy
sipping his cup of guma, before returning to the link
.
images flow with the descriptions
making narutos eyes widen in shock at the places and forms within
.
.
=Maze of the Lords of Lies=
=capital of the planet, sometimes called Lordlies to the posh=

.
pulling back from the link
looking eye to eye with a serious look to naruto continues
=here every corperation seeks an edge=
=if they can craft a person, one to position them past their rivals, they do so=
=culls and failures are tossed out or put back in the blender=
.

=and the one who pays the most wins the bids/decision=
=often the winner gets their money back as it cycles back in their profits=
.
.
shocked by the memory images from the old alien
kyuubi reaches out and tries to grab at the memories
tapping into Leeds deep core
Leeds gasps passing out in pain
.
.
{Leeds took it to far again}, shaking his head
unaware of what happened
Nameless picks him up and sets him on a backless couch
.
'perhaps I can get a finders fee for training him'
"lets go for a walk naruto"
.
a few blocks away a white painted face blocks the way
"hey chummer, yo in my sprawl, pay toll"
flips a knife palm to palm smiling with teeth at the pair
.
"kick his ass kid, lets see what you've got"
tilting his thumb-claw at the ripper
.
running forward, naruto tries by reflex to use his usual kage bushin with the unusual result of no bushin
yet the hand maneuvers disturb the ripper
"quit trying to slip gear out of you're clawholes, runtpup" calls Nameless
.
the ripper tries to thrust but naruto levers his arm up
letting him kick the ripper's feet out from under him, slamming the ripper's lights out
"remember no killin naruto", calls out Nameless
.
sliding out out of shadowed doorways, "the jokerz will take you apart"
two companions to the ripper in similar odd clothes
charge at naruto trying to take him down
"we'll send your pieces to the bodyshop" curses one of the white faced attackers
.
naruto stops the knife wielding right opponent with a forearm block
burying his fist in lower reaches of the attackers gut.
quickly stepping aside of the left attacker to dodge a glowing sparking rod
he moves in, bending the weapon arm aside to keep the weapon away
brings the sparking rod against the owners shoulder
.
dropping like a log, naruto steps away from the collapsing punk
almost stepping into an oncoming attack from a bleeding foe
.
the ripper finds his wrist held in claws stopping the downsweep knifing
"fool, killing not allowed in these areas"
swinging the ripper into the wall face first
wincing in pain Nameless holds his lower back
"drat, my back, my back"
"oh my lumbago"
.
"new lesson naruto", looking to the kid, "can you guess whats next?"
"take their gear and prank them?"
naruto's reply gives him pause, "what do you have in mind?"
.
grabbing food at the grill and booze from the cantina
the pair return to the tower in tome to see Leeds stir
"what sort of cruiser hit me"
.
"while you were out we took a walk and tested naruto's skills in a fight"
"cleaned the alley south of here thats been a problem"
"kids good" watching as naruto berates himself for missing the first ripper getting back up, nameless swats naruto's shoulder with the back of a clawhand
"don't complain about a loss if you're still alive, most idiots are dead"
"was just going to salvage their gear but naruto suggested better options"
"alley now has some funny temporary decorations"
.
.
elsewhere
.
having rescued the child from an outworld and the life of a slave, his fate now comes to the decision point
"No, to old is he to learn, to much fear"
"based on the laws of the council, Master, he will not be trained"
.
watching through a hidden camera
an old hand grasps to fist, a grin on an old males face, as he imagines the prize falling to his hand
.
"My word has been given, I request a leave of absence"
.
stunned looks sweep the chambers population
"denied"
.
marching to a computer terminal, a few minutes are spent pondering the records
typing, many look on in shock as he has his back turned on the council
looking to the child, summons him to the display
.
"well that was the first and second best options, so we shift to the third best"
"sign here son", the screen closing as the boy finishes signing
"then by the laws of the council I step down and retire"
.
father looks to son as they leave a silent council
"lets go pack"
the two grab packs unopened in the few hours since their arrival
leaving the ornate tower
.
the silent watcher's shock matching the council's
.
.
elsewhere
a failed assassination
sabers flash
a dart from the shadows bringing down
the blackguard, killed to keep secrets
.
.
omake
.
kyuubi sits upright "I'm not a tendril monster"
behind him nine tails like male peacock fan spread out
tips twisted spelling K-I-N K-Y behind him
lettering glowing in neon
"yess-ss, sacrifice the virgins to the fox-lord"
"only 18-year mature female hotties need apply"
.
later
"new record 15 at a time"
there are times when all males brains run south
.
