The Demon winged Protector Chapter 22: Busting Mako Reactors

"So basically, we blow up these reactors, and we stop the mako being drained" Naruto said. Barret nodded.

"It doesn't concern me that much" Cloud said. Naruto sighed.

"Figured you'd say something like that. You are all business" Naruto said. Cloud shrugged it off.

"As long as I get my moneys worth, I'm good" Cloud said. Barret was about to hit him, when Naruto blocked it.

"Barret...don't" Naruto said. The gun arm user wasn't happy about Cloud's behavior.

"So those guys that we busted up. All from SOLDIER?" Barret asked. Naruto shook his head.

"Those are basic Shinra guards. If it had been anyone from SOLDIER, you'd be dead" Cloud said. Naruto smirked at that.

"Not exactly. I would have easily killed them all" Naruto said, smuggly.

"Only because..." Cloud said, before stopping himself. Naruto sighed.

"I'm sorry, but that last one blew right over me. What the hell is going on?" Barret demanded.

"It was...personal. Don't ask" Naruto said. All the explosives were set, when a giant Scorpion mech came in.

"Damn. You guys attack and destroy this. You guys have to defeat as many enemies as possible. I'm gonna scout ahead. Word of caution. DON'T attack when the tail is up" Naruto said.

Later, after Reactor 5 was blown up, and back at 7th heaven.

"Keep the drinks coming Tifa. I'm celebrating on a job well done" Naruto said. Cloud then wacked him over the head.

"Yeah right. You ditched us" Barret jokingly said. Naruto smirked.

"That scorpion mech was weak, so why did I have to destroy it, when you guy could, and did, wipe the floor with it" Naruto said.

"Well, I'm coming along the next mission" Tifa said.

In a whirlwind of events later, and after blowing up another reactor... President Shinra arrived.

"AVALANCHE. A bunch of pitiful terrorists" Shinra said. Barret exploded at that.

"You're the F'ing terrorist, taking away the planet's blood for your own energy" Barret said.

"President Shinra stand down" Cloud said. Shinra smirked.

"You don't seem to recognize me" Cloud said. Shinra was now full blown laughing.

"I'm sorry. It's easy for me to forget so many SOLDIERS, with my busy schedule. Not unless you become another Sephiroth" Shinra said, that was when Naruto came forward.

"The surely, you'd remember me. Sephiroth's ONLY apprentice" Naruto said. Shinra gulped.

"Of course Naruto. It's not easy to forget you. Though I wonder why you'd align yourself with trash like these" Shinra said. Naruto growled.

"Where's Sephiroth. I want as much information as possible, or do you wish to die" Naruto said. The president smirked.

"You have niether the power nor guts to kill me" The President said. Naruto smirked.

"Oh believe me, I do. My power has at least doubled since Nibelhiem. I can destroy Midgar if I wanted to. But at the price of innocents, I don't think so" Naruto said, with a smirk.

"I see. Very well. I have no current information, except that we are trying to Draw Sephiroth back to Midgar, using 'Her', for the reunion" Shinra said. Naruto said.

"You may go. And do so quickly, before I wipe you clean from existence" Naruto said. The President left, leaving a battle mech to fight them.

When they did defeat it, as it was rather easy to defeat, it exploded, and Cloud was caught in it. He was now falling down from the hole in the bridge.

"Cloud NO!!!!!!!!!" Tifa called out. Naruto sighed.

"Must I do everything myself" He said, extending his wings, and flying down, to Save Cloud.

When Cloud woke up, he was inside a church.

"I was here before. A few years ago" Naruto said. He then saw Aeris. She recognized him.

"Aeris. Good to see you again" Naruto said. Aeris smiled.

"Thanks. Naruto. Who's that?" Aeris asked. Naruto smirked.

"Just a friend, who I saved from falling to his death. I gotta go. The stench of Midgar is making me sick. I have friends to visit as well" Naruto said, as he took off.

"Cloud, before I leave, tell Barret thanks for the hospitality, and I'll see you guys in Kalm" Naruto said, before flying out of the church.

"I have to check Sasuke's progress. When I'm done in Kalm, He and I will have to return to Konoha" Naruto said. He sighed, kicking up speed, heading eastward to Wutai.
