Chapter 17: Hunting in Kiri part 1.
(Hokage Office.)
"Gentlemen this is Mei Terumi leader of the Rebels here in Kiri." Hiruzen introduced to the two in the room.
Jiraiya was busy looking at Mei with a perverted expression and blush. Admiring her beauty.
Mei Terumi is infact a very attractive young woman. Long brown hair. Delicate skin. Green eyes. Voluptuous body figure.
( An: I feel sorry that she remains Single. She's a baddie. Anyone would have wanted to hit that.)
"Hello. Nice Meeting You Hokage-sama. I have come in request for some help in Kiri against the Yondaime Mizukage. I'm seeking aid from you to help." Mei says with Jiraiya coming to her.
"Oh my darling allow me to help you on this mission." Jiraiya says with Mei looking at him with a look of slight disgust
"No thanks. I infact know who you are. But who is this masked stranger?" Mei asks looking at Naruto observing his appearance.
"This is our new ally. His name is Uzumaki Shredder. He is the mysterious killer." Hiruzen introduced with her widening her green eyes at this. Having heard stories of the mysterious killer in the elemental nations.
"A pleasure meeting you Mei Terumi. I am Uzumaki Shredder." Naruto greets behind his mask as he saw Mei looking at him.
"He's the mysterious killer? The one I've heard stories about?. The mysterious killer who is never seen before and kills his victims without being seen or caught?!" Mei thought glancing at Uzumaki Shredder.
"I wonder what he looks like under that mask? I wonder is he handsome?" She thought with a faint blush.
"Why, yes. It is infact a pleasure in meeting you Uzumaki Shredder." She says now having her attention focused on him. With Jiraiya frowning while Hiruzen smirked.
"Mei-San may we get to business on why you are here?" He cuts in as she looks back at him.
"Oh I deeply apologize. I came here to seek aid in taking down Yagura and end the civil war in Kiri. I came alone in hopes of finding your best Shinobi to help us in this war. If we win, in which I hope. I will become the new Mizukage to restore what Yagura has done and as my first act as Mizukage, Kiri and Konoha will form an alliance." Mei says with Hiruzen holding his smoke pipe with smoke billowing out of it.
"I see. Well.. Uzumaki Shredder has recently joined us and-" Hiruzen says but she cuts him off.
"I'll take him." She says catching him and Jiraiya off guard. Naruto tilted his head to the side.
"What?" Hiruzen replied making sure he heard her right.
"I want Uzumaki Shredder with me to help me in this war. You did say he's a Mysterious killer, and I want to see Just how good he really is at getting the job done." Mei says with her eyes on Uzumaki shredder while she has a seductive smile
"And I also want to know what he looks like under that mask." she added in thought.
"Uzumaki Shredder, are you up for the Job?" Hiruzen asked facing to Naruto waiting for his response.
"Sure I'll take the Job. When do we leave?" Naruto replied behind his mask.
"I'll give you 15 minutes for you to prepare yourself Uzumaki Shredder. I'll be waiting for you at the gate." Mei says.
"All right. Let me pack and get ready. Is it okay if I bring my team members?" Naruto asked
"I don't see why not. Do need all the help I can get to win this war." Mei says watching him leave the office as she too left the room also to be at the gate.
Jiraiya was silent during all of this.
"So again... Kushina trusted these yaujta's to take Naruto away and trained him to be like them? Sensei how could she do such a thing? Did she not trust me enough to look after him?" Jiraiya asked looking at his sensei feeling somewhat bothered by what Kushina did.
"Seems like it Jiraiya. Knowing you would be more focused on your research not to mention managing your spy network." Hiruzen replied with Jiraiya frowning and looking away knowing that is somewhat true.
"But still... Couldn't she have at least trusted us or trust the village with the well-being of Naruto. Yet she trusts otherworldly beings that we have no knowledge about!?" Jiraiya complained as his Sensei sighed.
"Jiraiya. What's done is done. The important thing is that Naruto is here. At least be happy about that. You just might get to bond with him once his mission is over." Hiruzen says with Jiraiya still frowning.
"Look. I'm glad the kid is here okay it's just... just.. that Naruto has been off the planet for Kami knows how long and has been raised by brutal killers! The same mysterious killers who have been in the elemental nations killing other Shinobi! Taking their heads and spinal cords away! And Naruto is raised like that!? More importantly how did Kushina knew them in the first place!?" Jiraiya shotback.
"That I do not know. And it's too late to even question that. Although Jiraiya. In this world it's either kill or be killed I have no problem with Naruto being raised by them." Hiruzen replied
"Well I do. I want to start him off fresh. I know it'll take a long time to retrain him as a proper shinobi like he should have been." Jiraiya says with Hiruzen frowning at him.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? Naruto may not like that. And neither will his caretakers who raised him." Hiruzen countered
"He'll understand." Jiraiya answered with Hiruzen narrowing his eyes slightly
"No. it's you who doesn't understand. Leave the boy be and let him do what he wants." Hiruzen says with Jiraiya glaring slightly
"He's my godson Sensei. And I do not approve of what he is!" Jiraiya shotback as he jumps out the window to leave this conversation. Leaving his Sensei to sigh.
"Jiraiya. You fool." Thought Hiruzen with a frown.
( With Naruto)
Naruto is already packing up his gear and grabbing his weapons.
He turns to the door seeing Haku, Tsunami and Inari along with the other Predators.
"Okay. I'm all ready. Falcon Start the Ship. Artemis, Sabretooth and Nyra are you three packed and ready." Naruto says behind his mask as they nodded. As Naruto turned to Onslaught
"You remain here and watch over Tsunami, Haku and Inari Onslaught." Naruto says as his fellow predator gave a nod and low grunt.
"I'm going to Kiri. I'll be back. I've been assigned to help the leader of the rebels to take back the village." Naruto says
"Is it okay. That I come with you? I wish to at least see my home." Haku says looking at Naruto who turned to her.
"You may. Grab what you can that's necessary and come with us at the gate." He replied with her nodding and walked off to her room to grab whatever.
Tsunami walks to Naruto.
"Be safe Naruto." She says with him nodding.
"I promise. I have Onslaught here to watch both you and Inari." Naruto says as she hugged him, he hugged her back.
"I'm ready." Haku Returned with her bag.
"Let's move." Naruto says.
( At the Village Gate.)
Mei indeed was at the gate.
As she would patiently wait she saw Naruto along with three other masked beings and a girl.
"Is this your party Uzumakj Shredder?" Mei asked she frowns she didn't know there was more than one masked killer?
"Yes. This is my team. Artemis, Sabretooth, Nyra and Haku. Falcon is getting the ship." He answered.
"A ship?" She repeated as she heard a hum and looked above widening her eyes seeing the Ship which is named the Vixen.
"That's our ship." Naruto says seeing it land as the hatch opened. As he and his team got on including Mei surprised that such a vessel can fly?
"My... this is impressive Uzumaki Shredder." She says completely stunned.
"Thank you take a seat." He says with her doing so.
"Falcon, set a course to Kiri and cloak the ship." Naruto commanded with him nodding.
Naruto's ship the Vixen. Took off and cloaked heading off to Kiri.
( With Izanami)
Izanami is wandering in town. Still in her disguise. As she searches for a place that would do well to create a temporary Hive.
The Perfect Hybrid stalks off into the forests. She was somewhere located in outskirts of land of Iron.
she walked up a Hill and spotted something with her dark eyes as she looked straight ahead at what looked like to be some sort of Outpost.
she spots several Armed Shinobi with Blank masks..
She has seen those Shinobi before when her "father" had made dealings with a bandaged old man...
A Dark Grin spread across her face. She's going to take over that outpost and turn it into a temporary hive. By capturing some of the Root operatives alive.
to be continued
An: Here is another Update. Next chapter Naruto and his crew fight in Kiri.
Izanami is about to kill some Root and possibly capture them to be used as breeding stock.
I just so happened to watch the Mandolorian and finished watching it.
I couldn't help but Imagine Naruto upgrading his predator armor with Beskar alloy.
maybe I will allow other scfi crossovers into this. Since I saw Daftmerc's suggestion along with Scfi freak's suggestions
Until next time.
