...ooOoo...
Naruto huffed to himself as he stared down the clone in front of him, under the watchful eye of another clone off to the side, recording everything with it's Sharingan. Naruto sent the clone a nod and started to amass chakra into his right eye, and when he felt like he had enough, he released it in a swirl like pattern, as tiny bits of blood leaked from Naruto's eye.
"Kamui!" The air started around the clone started to dissipate, twist, and turn, so Naruto didn't relent, and kept pushing chakra through his eyeball. It had been two weeks since Naruto had arrived in the world of Remnant, and everything had gone exactly according to plan. Tukson was gone, having left a week ago at six in the morning without telling Naruto where exactly the meet up spot was, as he didn't want there to be any chance of him leaving to get out, and since then, all of Naruto's time had gone to training, running shop, and kicking ass.
The shop was doing good, and Naruto, while a modest man, was rolling in Lien at the moment. The make-out tactics three booked series, as of now, was on it's way to being the best selling book in the world, and only Naruto's shop sold it. He, Naruto, at the moment, had scrolls and scrolls full of Lien, to last him years living a modest life, and it was all because of his god-fathers book. Everywhere he went, people were reading it, as the book had beat out the last top seller Ninja's and love.
Naruto still attacked the White Fang when ever he had a chance to, and it was paying off as Tukson's scroll, that Naruto now had possession of to make sure the White Fang didn't know he was gone, was constantly being blown up by calls and messages about 'Nato Namikaze' and how he needed to be brought in, as he'd made his point, and would be a valuable asset. Even though he made his point, Naruto still couldn't help but under mine the White Fang in there endeavors, and was seriously making a hobby out of it. They were pissed, and had even sent some people to the store when Naruto was working to ask Tukson were Nato was, as they wanted to speak to him right away, but Naruto, playing dumb said Tukson was out running errands, and that he didn't know who Nato was.
When nothing else was happening, Naruto and his clones worked on there Fuinjutsu studies, and Naruto figured the greatest thing ever out. Because his Sharingan records everything it see's even physical movements, Naruto could have clones do all of his studies, while he got back the memory and the knowledge on how to write the seals, which ended up with him not blowing up, which did happen a few times because a clone got bored and decided to half ass a seal. The Fuinjutsu studies had come along well, and Naruto could safely say he was learning them a lot quicker then he expected, even though he always had a clone working on the seals his mother made, as Naruto had remembered the entire book from front to end.
His greatest achievement, and probably his stupidest idea ever, was secretly hitching a ride on the bottom of a bullhead, dropping himself into the middle of a Grimm invested nest full of Ursa, Beowolves, Deathstalkers, and King Taijitu, and letting himself get whipped around like a rag doll until he learned kamui, and it had worked. Naruto had almost died, thanks to a King Taijitu that was about to bite him in half, when the Kamui activated and the King Taijitu had gone right through him, and, just to be sure he remembered it, Naruto had clones stationed around him to record everything, and see how the move was done, and it had worked, which was why Naruto was now standing in a field, wearing his casual attire which consisted of a beige jacket with black accents on the shoulders and sides, a burnt orange under shirt, and black pants and his shinobi sandals, using kamui over and over again.
The air around the clone Naruto had used kamui on kept on spinning, and started to drag the clone in, with the point of swirling right around the clones chest. Naruto kept pushing chakra into his eye, not even caring about the blood that was leaking out, and down his face since he kept his goggles off, and made sure the clone was sucked in. Naruto watched, and waited, and when it seemed like it wasn't enough chakra, he pushed more in, and watched as the clones arm, then chest, then legs were sucked in, but once the head had slid it, Naruto grinned triumphantly and turned to his clone.
"Did you get that?" The clone nodded with a grin, having recorded it just to be safe, and Naruto couldn't help but thank Obito for allowing him the chance to have the Sharingan. With the clone going up in smoke, Naruto walked over to a tree, and grabbed a towel to wipe the blood from his face. He had been outside practicing for almost six hours, just to make sure all his skills were good, and was about to call it a day. He still had the White Fang meeting in two hours, and didn't want to be late, as it was still a meeting and he wanted to know what they were planning next, and then he was going to talk to this Adam Taurus, see who else was there, and see what he would do. As Naruto started to walk away, he stopped for a second, then grinned. Recalling what one of the scrolls Obito gave him, Naruto adopted a thinking position.
'To travel using Kamui you must have first been to the place you wish to travel to. It's simple, all you do is pull yourself into your dimension, but instead of stopping at the dimension, continue with the kamui and push yourself out to where you envision.' Naruto stood for a second, and then started to amass more chakra in his right eye and had the point of suction be his own body, and started to pull himself into his personal dimension, but couldn't help the shiver that ran down his body as it felt like his body was being pulled apart, only to be put back together. Arriving to his own personal space-time dimension, Naruto quickly looked it over, and nodded. It was different then Obito's, who had an innumerable account of box like objects in a black void, but was instead a grassy field with a single tree in it under the sun. Deciding to check it out later, Naruto quickly warped himself to his apartment, where he landed with a thud against the ground since he actually appeared right below the ceiling.
Standing up with a grunt, Naruto wiped the invisible dust off of his pants, and walked over to a giant armoire he had bought to he could hang up some of his clothes, even though to get into the armoire you needed Naruto's chakra, and grabbed a long sleeve, plain black shirt with a face mask on it, which was poorly stitched on, a pair of black cargo like pants, his orange belt with thigh armor on it, and his shoulder armor. Placing all of the materials on, Naruto looked back into the armoire, and frowned.
'Should I go with the Akatsuki cloak? Or maybe the Mizukage cloak….hmm..' Grabbing the Akatsuki cloak that was filled with the red clouds of Ame, Naruto placed the hooded cloak on his body, but didn't pull the hood up just yet. His mask, which is something he always carried on him, and three additional Akatsuki cloaks and three additional black cloaks with purple linings, were always on him incase of an emergency, as he had more made under a henge. The henge was the same one Naruto used for the Nato I.D, a blonde haired Naruto with red eyes and different color horns, but the only difference, which would be his excuse for wearing a mask, was the disfigured left side of his face that Naruto planned to use for his reasoning of the mask incase someone asked why he had it on.
Walking over to his kitchen cubby, Naruto reached into a small wooden pantry that was big enough to hold a few things, and grabbed a cup of A Simple Wok ramen, and added some water to it. Placing it in the microwave, and setting it on three minutes, Naruto walked over to his couch, and grabbed Leaf and Swirl, and placed them on his hands.
He was meeting the White Fang today just outside of Vale, where'd be picked up by a member, blindfolded, and taken to an undisclosed location, where he'd see if he'd be allowed into the White Fang. Though, Naruto wasn't stupid, they'd asked him to bring anything he would need for a 'mission', so Naruto knew they'd sent him on some type of job to see if you could actually complete it. Walking over towards a seal on the wall, Naruto released it and almost two million Lien worth's of bags fell, and Naruto quickly sucked it with a kamui. Going into the next one, Naruto released another seal, which in turned dropped a few scrolls. Opening the scrolls, almost ten piles of giant shuriken appeared, so Naruto sucked those up with a kamui to, as he knew he'd be able to fling them by shooting them with his eye, and then opened the last scroll that fell to the ground. Grabbing the scroll, which was filled with a lot of ammo that Naruto was barrowing from the weapons shop down the street, Naruto sucked up the last item, just at the timer on his microwave went off.
Grabbing a pair of chopsticks, Naruto pulled his ramen out of the microwave, pulled down the fast mask he was wearing, and started to eat the holy food of god, as it'd probably be the last time in a while. Naruto had everything set out, since it was a Friday, and with Naruto's new store times, Jiraiya's Book Emporium wasn't open Saturday and Sunday's, and closed at three thirty on Friday's, which was today, meaning he didn't have to worry about opening the store for two in a half days, and if anything, he would just use kamui, come home, make some clones, then leave.
Taking a bite of his ramen, Naruto let his thoughts drift to the other day. Now that he was getting more active in the community so to speak, undermining the White Fang, breaking into building to finish his and Tukson's records for dentist appointments, what school's they had gone to, and all that, Naruto could swear he was being watched. It had started after a job three days ago when he had traveled to the police station, and added Nato Namikaze to the database with a few arrests, and since then he would feel a presence around the store, watching him, but the minute he knew the person, or people, were there the presence would disappear, not allowing Naruto the chance to familiarize himself with the energy signature. It was bugging him to no end that he couldn't figure out who was watching him, and also worrying, just incase someone had already found out he was also Nato. The energy signature was low, and if Naruto was a lesser person he wouldn't have realized it was there, but he did, and it was annoying to constantly feel like he was being watched.
Sighing as he finished off his ramen, Naruto threw the cup away then stood up as he had some time before he needed to leave, and had an idea that had been bugging him for the last few days. Making a clone, Naruto conveyed the message before he even made the clone, so the clone henged into Naruto in his civilian clothes, then left through the front door. Now that Naruto was the landlord, he technically could give a person a thirty days notice at any moment and tell them to leave, even if they didn't want to, but he wasn't going to do that, as he had a better idea. Naruto was on the ninth floor, and besides the room next to his that was empty, all seven other rooms had someone living in them, that Naruto wanted gone, and they just so happened to have seven vacated rooms in the apartment complex, that Naruto was going to offer to the seven people, with two months free rent, then turn the entire upper level into his own, locked off, area.
He was going to keep his room the same, but add a door, and tear down everything in the other eight rooms. He'd rebuild somethings, like a small office for himself that'd be his personal study for when he needed a quite area to work on something, and another room for storage, but mostly it'd be a giant training ground with seals aligning the walls. He planned to put up shock absorbing seals, water absorbing seals, fire absorbing seals, wind absorbing seals, gravity seals that make anything in the room feel like it was fifty times heavier, and slowly get stronger under heavier gravity, and any other kind of seal he needed that wouldn't alert the people below that a dead man from another dimension that was acting like a friendly book shop owner was secretly learning moves that could kill a man a thousand different ways.
Hopefully, all seven of the tenants would like the idea of two months free rent for moving down a few floors, which should help since there wasn't an elevator in the building, so Naruto could build his training ground. It would help immensely if Naruto could train without the fear of someone seeing him, or recording him, because if they did next thing he knows he's all over the news for being special. That would just be plain horrible, and Naruto didn't want to think about losing his chance as a huntsman, going on the run, and having to deal with all four kingdoms that would undoubtedly chase him like he was live stock.
Looking for at the clock in his wall, Naruto saw he still had about thirty minutes until he needed to arrive to the location, and decided to just leave now. Creating three clones with enough chakra to last for three days each, if they didn't do anything to strenuous, Naruto pulled his right arm's glove down, close to the gauntlet that was in bracelet form, and released a seal. Instead of his orange beanie, Naruto had a black one in his hand, plus the Tobi orange swirl mask. Pulling up his face mask, so no skin was showing, Naruto placed the swirling mask on his face, letting the elastic band on it to cover everything but the top of his head, then put on the black beanie and pulled his hood up. Looking himself over in the mirror, Naruto pushed a few strands of his blonde hair into his black beanie, and saw that not a single ounce of his body was showing, and grinned. Pushing chakra into his eye, the air around Naruto started to spin like a twister, and quicker then last time, Naruto was pulled into the kamui, only to land on a small tree branch on the forest outside of Vale.
Seeing that no one was around, Naruto sat down on the branch, and reached into his pocket, grabbing Hiruzen's hand carved pipe that was a mouth piece to inhale from that turned into a monkey's hand holding the bowl, Naruto checked to see if there was any tobacco in it, and grinned when he realized it was a full bowl. Sending chakra to his eye, but not letting it leave his eye, Naruto forced his orange swirl mask, since it was touching him, into the Kamui's dimension, then placed the tobacco bowl, that went straight through his mask, in his mouth and lit the fine tobacco with a lighter. Inhaling the smoke, Naruto could feel a days worth of pent up frustration leave his body. Naruto could honestly say he was getting stir crazy, but also nervous, as he didn't want to screw up his chance with the White Fang. All it would take is one slip up, and Naruto would be forced to either fight the entire terrorist organization, or flee and steer clear of them.
It sucked, as he knew he would have to wait a while until he could make a move, and start picking members off one by one. Joining right away, then taking out members would be like a giant Beacon saying the guy that took out a lieutenant did it, and that was certainly not something he needed to happen to him. Inhaling the rich, and minty menthol smoke again, Naruto looked up in the sky as a bullhead flew over, but looked back down as it passed by, and went back to his thoughts.
'I wish Kurama was here with me…' It sucked, and he never thought he'd actually miss the nine tails, but he did. Growing up, and living in a village that hated you and wanted nothing more then your death, was horrible. Yet, as Naruto sat there on the branch, he couldn't help but remember his time in the fourth war with Kurama, and the time they had together. Kurama wasn't evil, he was misunderstood, and Naruto was the first one to help him, and Naruto missed him dearly, something he never thought he'd feel towards the nine tails.
Looking down at his scroll, Naruto realized he still had ten minutes until whoever was sent to pick him up arrived, so Naruto unsealed a giant scroll, and then made three shadow clones, as that was the top number of clones that could be held in the scroll, and instructed them what to do.
"You have 10 minutes to gather as much Senjutsu as possible, and seal yourselves away." Naruto had practiced gathering Senjutsu in this new world, and realized that while he could do it, and it made him stronger, there was a certain edge to the Senjutsu here, like it was screaming for Naruto just to kill everyone and everything in sight, and that was something that annoyed him greatly.
Finishing off the tobacco that was in his bowl, Naruto placed it back in his pocket, and looked towards his clones, and could see, through the eye hole, as black pigmentation came to life around the clones eye, something that confused him even more. Back in the elemental nations, the pigmentation was always orange, not black, and not once did he ever feel on edge about using Senjutsu. Deciding to continue his thoughts later, and figure out the mystery of the Senjutsu of the world, Naruto looked up as a bullhead, that was just big enough to land in the clearing, started to descend, but Naruto didn't move from his spot, liking the idea of annoying them immensely.
When the bullhead landed, Naruto watched the platform drop and raised an eyebrow at how many people had actually come. He could see Kuromi, who looked anxious for some reason, about twenty members wearing the generic white top and black pants, with a mask on the upper half of there face, and White Fang logo on the back, but there was two people that caught his attention.
The first was of a black haired girl that had black cat ears on the top of her head, long wavy black hair, and amber colored eyes, which were complemented by light purple eye shadow flaring backwards. Not counting her cat like ears, her eyes gave her a cat like appearance as they slightly tilted upwards at the end, adding to her cat like appearance. She had on black, low-heeled boots and stocking that start off as black at her hips, but gradually fade to purple as they near her shoes. She had on black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black sleeve and a silver band on her left arm. Under a black buttoned vest with coattails is a white sleeveless undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that looked to be connected to her shirt. To finish off her look was a detached scarf-like collar around her neck, and what looked to be a grey, magnetic plate on her back that was holding her weapon.
Looking to the next man, Naruto knew who it was right away, because of the description Tukson had given him. Adam Taurus. Adam is a tall man with red hair that was spikes backwards in a windswept way. Even though most of the hair is red, a portion of it in the back is brown. Naruto couldn't see his eyes, as the man was wearing a Grimm mask that covers the upper section of his face, but Naruto could easily see the two horns coming from the mans head that looked like bull horns. The Grimm mask he's wearing is a whitish-tan with red, flame like symbols decorating the front, and two slits on each side, which Naruto guessed allowed Adam to see. Adam was wearing a long-sleeved black trench coat with slit sleeves and more red designs and a white symbol on his left side. The trench coat itself seemed to be red on the inside, but also had flame like accents at the bottom, and a large emblem on the back, which was a white tulip design covered by a red rose. To finish off his look, Adam's wearing black pants and black shoes that are red on the bottom, black gloves with more red emblems on their forehand, and a black belt with white domino marks on it. In his hand was a sword that was seethed, that Naruto guessed to be Wilt and Blush as Tukson had told him. Looking over at his scroll, Naruto saw that the clone had sealed themselves away, and he quickly sealed the scroll away, then stood up.
Popping his back, since the tree wasn't very comfortable to sit on, Naruto looked down at Kuromi, and started to use kamui on is body. Once his body was completely gone, Naruto changed his chakra from pushing out, to pulling it back in, and in a swirl of air, Naruto appeared right next to Kuromi, hand over her shoulder, while his other hand was over his heart, and took on his 'Nato' mode.
"Big sis Kuromi! It's been forever since I saw you! You look a lot better when I'm not beating the living hell out of you!" Kuromi sweat dropped as Naruto appeared out of nowhere, and had to hold herself back from hitting him. Naruto looked around and noticed the twenty different guns, and two swords pointed at him, so Naruto screamed.
"Oh no! Big sis protect me from the evil men!" Naruto jumped over Kuromi, and peeked his head over her shoulder as he looked over the White Fang members. Though Naruto lost his balance when Kuromi moved, and he face planted the ground. Waiting a few seconds, Naruto stood up, as crocodile tears rolled down his mask while he placed his arm over his head in a dramatic fashion.
"Oh! The undying humiliation!" Naruto realized most of the members were getting annoyed, so he stopped and stood up. Dusting the dirt off of himself, Naruto looked all the members over again, and smirked to himself, trying to asses their skill, and realized most, if not all, wouldn't be a problem.
"Are you Nato Namikaze? The one's who's been undermining and attacking my men for the last two weeks?" Naruto saluted the man, and grinned to himself as he could tell the man was getting annoyed. "Yes Captain, it is I, The toad sage of Mt. Myoboku, the man who make woman swoon at his feet, and men tremble in anger, the man of greatness and prestige, Nato Namikaze!" Naruto ended his little proclamation by jumping on one foot, with his other foot brought up, and his arms flared forward and backwards, just like Jiraiya. Seeing that Adam, and the unnamed woman next to him were truly annoyed and peeved, Naruto stopped so one of them could talk.
"That bastard Tukson told me you wanted to join the White Fang? Why should I believe you, the man who's been undermining my organization for the last two weeks, would like to join us?" Naruto shrugged as he threw his arm over the black haired cat faunus, and started to scratch her cat ears. "Because I believe I can change the world! I mean, just look at me, I'm awesome. I've beaten one of five of your Lieutenants, completely destroyed over forty of your men in one night, because I'm great! And have single handedly stopped five different operations of yours. I'm more then powerful! And you need me!" Letting go of the cat faunus, Naruto looked back towards Adam, and grinned.
"Plus, to prove my loyalty to the White Fang, I killed a traitor!" Adam raised an eyebrow under his Grimm mask, and motioned for Naruto to continue. Reaching into his pocket, Naruto grabbed the scroll with the henged clone, and placed it on the ground. Unrolling it, Naruto placed a little bit of chakra into the seal, and with a plum of smoke , It opened to reveal Tukson, with a blue face, and signs of a fight. Around his neck were hand marks, showing that he died from strangulation.
"That stupid head Tukson was leaving the White Fang! So I broke his legs and arms, tortured him, then strangled him to death!" Quickly sealing away the henged clone again, so no one tried to touch it which would end in the clone exploding, Naruto pocketed the scroll, and stood back up.
"So what? You killed a guy and that's suppose to prove your loyal to us? That just makes you more of a liability. I need men who want to change the world, I need men who view the future as a world full of faunus, I need… Revolutionaries." Sighing quietly, Naruto couldn't help but think of Sasuke, and his plans of changing the world. Saluting the man, Naruto nodded along with him, and threw a hand over his shoulder.
" I'm a revolutionary! Just last week I started to wear my underwear on top of my pants! Now that's changing the world!" Naruto backed off of the man who seemed like he was about to explode in anger, and went back to messing with the Cat Faunus' ears, much to her embarrassment, though, Naruto noted she didn't ask him to stop.
"That's not what I meant! What can you do for the White Fang to that'll benefit us all?" Naruto decided to give them a little demonstration, and pushed chakra into his eye. Walking through the cat faunus, much to the shock of everyone, Naruto walked right up to Adam, and smirked.
"I can be of great help captain! You tell me to do something, and I'll do it. I'm quick on my feet…" Leaning over towards the man, Naruto whispered into his ear. "And well known in the streets." Standing back up, and walking through the cat faunus again, Naruto turned around.
"Surely you've heard of little old me! The destroyer of buildings! The man who died and traveled to another dimension! Ex-Jinchuuriki of the Nine tailed Demon Fox! I'm all over the news!" Naruto grinned when a few of the grunt members pointed to him and laughed, and since Naruto could read their lips, he knew they were calling him crazy and delusional. But the irony of it was to funny for Naruto, and he broke out laughing. Adam walked up to Naruto, grabbed him by the collar, and forced Naruto to look him in the eye. Quickly placing the man in a genjutsu, so Adam wouldn't see his Sharingan, but just a plain red eye, Naruto acted like he was scared and started to cower under the mans gaze.
"Listen here. I don't have time for your games Nato. I need to know, what can you do to help the White Fang? Why should I accept you into our ranks?" Naruto became intangible, and walked through Adam and struck a thinking pose, thinking on how he could be of help.
"Well! I'm amazing at espionage and sabotage! I can fight, which you know since I easily kicked your weak men's asses…" Naruto grinned when he saw Kuromi, and a few grunt members send him death glares. "… I can get into and out of places without being caught. I can literally walk through walls and travel great distances in seconds, I can transport large item over extended distances in seconds, and…" Naruto grabbed Adam by the collar and now it was Naruto's turn to pull Adam to eye level. " I don't think you want me as an enemy, but an ally. So, Adam Taurus, Choose wisely, because if not, you've made an enemy out of a very, very dangerous person" Making his voice deadly serious, Naruto let go of Adam and stood back up.
"How about a test then!" Adam looked around to the members around, and they all cheered, some secretly wanting to get back at Naruto. "We'll see how good you truly are. There's somethings I need you to do." Narrowing his eyes at them man, Naruto said nothing as he listened to Adam talk.
" An informant of mine passed along some intel that he'd heard. A few days from now, the Schnee dust company is having a bullhead touch down in Mistral, and they're going to load the entire thing up with Dust. We're going to drop you off in Atlas, and you're going to get on that bullhead, head to Mistral on board, wait for them to load it up, then bring it back. " Naruto saluted Adam, and started to walk towards to Bullhead, but kept his senses open, and heard Adam talk.
"Blake go with him and make sure the job get's done." Naruto turned around, towards Blake, and clenched his fist when he noticed Adam was gripping Blake's arm… hard. Seeing the redness around her arm that would probably bruise, Naruto slid right up to her, and practically dragged her away from Adam.
"Come on Kitten.. This is my moment to shine! Don't let me down, I'm putting a lot of faith into you." Blake looked uneasy, and turned back to Adam, to see that he had walked away and was uncaring of what was happening, causing Blake to frown at her one time friend that was changing for the worst.
"It's Blake…. Blake Belladonna." Naruto threw his arms over his head then gave Blake a thumbs up as they entered the bullhead. "I got it kitten. Name's Nato Namikaze at your service. Hopefully we can be friends." Naruto secretly grabbed Blake's weapon, Gambol Shroud, and then pushed his arm and the weapons into his dimension, and then hid them behind his back. Seeing Blake turn around, Naruto smirked.
"Look, let's just go do what Adam said so we can come back. I'm not here to be your friend, I'm just here to watch you." Naruto raised an eyebrow at Blake, she was like a fem-Sasuke, but shrugging his shoulders, Naruto held up her weapon.
"Would you be my friend if I gave this back?" Blake looked angry, so Naruto threw her weapons back, and Turned around, Waving a hand over his head. "Goodbye Kitten! It was nice meeting you, Let's kick some ass!." Blake watched Naruto go with narrowed eyes, but sighed as she turned around. 'Great, another monster.' Naruto took a seat on one of the seats of the bullhead, and pulled out his pipe. So far so good. Grabbing a bag from his back left pocket, Naruto started to feel the pipe up, unaware of all the eyes that were watching him, waiting to see him take the mask off. Naruto put us bag up, and reached into his pocket, but when he didn't feel his lighter, he started to freak out. Looking at everyone else, to see if anyone had a lighter, Naruto had to stop himself from laughing when they snapped their heads forward.
"Does anyone have a lighter? Or maybe a book of matches?" One member stood up, and threw Naruto a lighter. Thanking the man, Naruto sat back down and flicked the lighter, bringing forth flame. Naruto knew everyone was watching him, hoping to see his dismembered face, even Adam, but even though Naruto had been on camera ordering some things, Naruto wasn't about to show them, and allowed his pipe to go right into his mask, which caused a few people to curse, making Naruto grin. They weren't going to see his face, he was going to keep it a mystery from them, and allow them to believe whatever they want. Inhaling the smoke, Naruto discreetly looked around at the members and frowned.
This job was going to be simple, go to Atlas, sneak into a bullhead with , fly to Mistral, wait for the ship to be piled up with dust and then steal the bullhead. It'd be a simple job, but Naruto wasn't stupid, and knew most likely he'd run into trouble. Looking around for Blake, Naruto knew they'd need some kind of plan of attack, which meant they'd need to know how each other fought, so they knew who could do what.
It'd be stupid to go into a job without somewhat knowing what your partner was capable off, and there must have been a reason Adam wanted him to be on the bullhead before it left Atlas. Something wasn't right here, but Naruto knew he couldn't just go and ask what it was. Knowing this job was most likely going to be a hard one, Naruto mentally rechecked himself, and knew he had everything he needed. Reaching into his pocket, Naruto pulled out his version of Make-out Pool time, and started to read it, completely unaware of all the wide eyes looking at him for having a book that was just announced two days prior.
The book wasn't really his style, and Naruto more so read the book for the comedic parts of the story and skipped over everything else, but it was a great time killer, and while he never wanted to admit it when Jiraiya use to make him read the transcripts for it, Naruto could safely admit now that Jiraiya was an excellent writer… still a major pervert and lecher… but an excellent writer.
'Menma and Kion stood on a cliff, looking over the Valley of Heathens, Menma's entire entourage behind him. Takashi, Makura, Ree, and Semi stood behind, watching as the beautiful, blue haired yellow eyed man talked to the gorgeous light blonde haired woman. It was time to go back to the Tree, and Menma was saying his goodbye's.
"So, Menma, What do you say? I need help passing down my blood to the next priestess? Can you help me?" Menma looked over with a smile, as everyone else in the back was shocked Kion would ask such a question, but Menma only nodded.
"Of course, Kion-chan, I'd do anything to help you!" Kion nodded with a smile, looking back over the valley, while Menma looked back to his team, and gave a thumbs up, happy at the prospect of helping Kion find a suitable husband.'
Naruto laughed silently to himself, how stupid was the Menma character? Only an idiot wouldn't be able to realize Kion wanted Menma's help to have a baby. Naruto couldn't see someone being that dense in real life, and just laughed it off and kept reading. The bullhead was going pretty fast, so Naruto suspected they'd arrive within twenty minutes, as they'd left half an hour ago. As he read his book, Naruto could see Adam in the corner, watching him, almost like Adam was trying to figure out Naruto's true plan, so Naruto stopped reading, and waved to the man. Adam stood up, and started to walk towards Naruto, causing him to put his book back in his pocket, and stand up.
"Listen. This jobs an important one, you get this shipment, and you're in. You fuck up, and you've made an enemy of the White Fang. We'll be touching down in about ten minutes just outside of Atlas, and from there you and Blake will find the Atlas Official Docking Agency. My informant told me the bullhead should be leaving within the next three days, meaning you have plenty of time figure out which bullhead you should be on, and enough time to come up with a plan, Fly into Mistral, allow them to load it up, then steal it and come back." This worked perfectly for Naruto, that gave him ample amount of time to learn how Blake fights, so he could come up with a plan. Saluting the man, Naruto turned around and walked over to Blake.
"Helloooo Kitten!" Taking a seat next to Blake, Naruto looked over at the book she was reading… and raised an eyebrow. 'Didn't take her as a smut reader' Naruto immediately identified the Make-out tactics in her hand, but before Naruto could see exactly where she was in the book, She snapped it shut, and turned to him with an annoyed look.
"What do you want Nato?" Naruto shrugged as he rested his head on her shoulder, but Blake leaned forward, and Naruto fell to the side. "Just want to get to know my partner better! I mean, were doing some super secret ninja stuff! And a good ninja always knows who he's working with." Sighing, Blake placed her book back in her pocket, and fully turned to Naruto with an annoyed glare.
"Look… I'm only doing this mission with you, and that's it, nothing more, nothing less. So unless you have a reason for coming over here and annoying me, please leave me alone so I can read in silence." Naruto huffed at her attitude, and swore he'd work on it. Even though he was just messing with her, he really did want to get to know her, because he wasn't about to go into this job without at least knowing the person he was doing it with. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, and Blake was his enemy, if need be, she was going to be one of the people to die when he got everything figured out.
" Look Kitten, all I'm saying is we need to know how the other person works. You wouldn't buy a book without at least having some idea of what it's about, I don't want to work a job without knowing how good you are. The difference between a good job done, and an excellent job done is knowing your partner. If we go in there, not knowing how good the other person is, without knowing what we both need to cover for the other person, this job can go either one of three ways. One, we do a good job, maybe were found out and still get away, but we slightly get injured and come back and everything's good. Two, we do an excellent job, no one knows it was the White Fang that did this, that keeps heat off of us, and we come back, and we get praised as the best thing since cup ramen. Or three, this job goes south really quick, one or both of us gets injured, we don't come back with the shipment, I get kicked from the White Fang, and you're made the laughing stock of the century because you were to incompetent to do this job." Blake hesitated for a second, everything Naruto had just said, actually made sense, unlike everything else he usually said. Blake knew her own downfalls when it came to things, and knew what she could do and couldn't do, Naruto didn't know that, and she didn't know what Naruto could do. With small frown, Blake nodded and relented.
"Everything you just said… makes since. Look, we have at least a three days time period before we have to do this. We'll stop, get a hotel room or something, and we'll discuss further with each other about our abilities, maybe have a spar, and then we'll do the job, fair enough?" Naruto nodded, and reached into his pocket. Pulling out a purple covered book, Naruto handed it to Blake, who had stars in her eyes.
"Keep it Kitten, it's my friendship appreciation token." Just as Naruto said that, Adam called Naruto and Blake over as the bullhead's landing ramp started to open. Walking over the two stopped in front of Adam as he pointed to the ground.
"We'll be dropping you two of here. Do your job, and come back. Blake knows where you need to go when this is done, got it." Saluting the man, Blake was about to jump from the bullhead, but Naruto stopped her by grabbing her shoulder, and started to push chakra into his eye.
"Don't, I got a better idea." Before anyone could ask what he meant, the air around Naruto and Blake started to spin, and faster then the last two times, Naruto and Blake disappeared, leaving a stunned bullhead full of people wondering what just happened. Landing on the ground right under the bullhead, Blake hunched over, her stomach not happy with just traveling to and from a different dimension. Sending the sheepish looking Naruto a glare, Blake stood up and let her stomach settle back down.
Naruto looked around, and realized they were in a mountainous type of area, which made him frown. Atlas was about a mile east from there position, as Naruto had seen it before he teleported away, so he knew exactly where to go. Naruto realized he couldn't draw attention to himself, and Blake for that matter, and knew he'd need to be in disguise.
"Hey Kitten." With Blake looking over to Naruto, Naruto placed her in a Genjutsu with enough chakra to last about six hours, and took off his mask. Blake's eyes widened as she saw Naruto's face, as she wasn't expecting what she saw, but now understood why he wore a mask with one eye hole. His left eye was closed, and with the way it was closed it looked like he didn't have an eyeball in his socket. His face was heavily scarred on the entire left side of his face, like something had crushed it at one point, and even though Blake wanted to ask what happened, she reminded herself she was only doing this one job with Naruto then that was it. Seeing that Blake wasn't paying attention, Naruto started to Wave his hands around in her face.
"Helloooo? Kitten? You there?" Seeing that Blake was paying attention, Naruto informed her of his plan. "Look, we need to disguise ourselves before we get into Atlas. I know Atlas is more militaristic then the other three kingdoms, and with how we're about to get in, if people saw our faces, we'd be screwed. Do you have something to disguise yourself with?" Blake shook her head, so Naruto sat down on released a few seals on his arms that brought forth a couple of scrolls. Releasing one, Naruto motioned for Blake to get dressed, but watched in amusement as she started to tie a piece of ribbon around her cat ears to look like a bow.
Deciding to give her privacy, Naruto opened his scroll, and grabbed a few things. It was probably the worst disguise he could come up with, but it worked. Grabbing the black suit with an orange tie, Naruto started to get dressed, and in a few seconds, was wearing a black blazer with a white undershirt and vest. Black dress pants with snake skin dress shoes, and a top hat, which was the only reason he was wearing it, because a top hat was the only thing big enough to hide his horns. It was uncomfortable, but the suit worked as a disguise because of all the noble people that lived in Atlas that wore suits all day, and the top hat helped at hiding his faunus features. Finishing off his look, Naruto grabbed a black pair of aviator glasses and put them on, then covered his face with a black scarf that wrapped around him. Once that was done, Naruto turned to Blake, who had her cat ears hidden within the bow, and a white jacket that had a behind the leg skirt that reached her ankles with the front buttoned close. Seeing that her weapons were still showing, Naruto frowned.
"Kitten! We need to hide your weapons." Blake looked to Naruto and narrowed her eyes. "Why would I need to hide my weapons? And were would I hide them?" Naruto sighed, already hating working with Blake, and started to explain.
"Because, unlike your weapons, mine are just bracelets when deactivated, yours I can still see sticking out. When we get into Atlas, were going to walk around and look for a hotel or somewhere to sleep until tomorrow so we can be fully rested. I want to drawl as little attention as possible to us, and that means hiding your weapons. Where? I can't tell you the name of it, but it's the same technique I used to teleport us down here." Seeing that she wasn't budging, Naruto grabbed his bracelets, and took them off.
"If it'll make you feel better kitten, I'll let you hold my weapons if you let me hide yours away." With Blake finally relenting, Naruto threw her his bracelets, as he didn't truly need them to fight, and took Blake's from her. Placing them on the ground, Naruto muttered a quick 'kamui' and sucked the weapons up into his space-time dimension. Blake, once again, was left astonished because of Naruto, but she said nothing as Naruto motioned for her to follow him as he took off.
"Do you know where we're going?" Naruto said nothing as he ran, his mind racing with thoughts on what to do. They were just a mile outside of Atlas, and Naruto was going to get them in by phasing through a wall, but running around the roof tops and being discreet wouldn't work here, they needed to be in plain sight, and just walk around. Atlas was, of the four kingdoms, the most advanced one and no doubt had camera's and some type of patrol everywhere. Best way to go about this would be to hide in plain sight, which meant just walking around the streets until they could find a hotel room, wake up the next morning, and walk around until they could find the docking yard, and hit it that night. Since Naruto would be able to Kamui into the shipment yard after he see's it, it'd be better for the two criminals to get into it at night, But Naruto still knew he had a problem. The problem was finding out which bullhead it would be, breaking into it undetected, and staying hidden for the entire flight. Kamui wouldn't work, as he needed to know where he was transporting to, and with a moving bullhead it'd be impossible to get an accurate transportation spot.
Naruto furrowed his brows in concentration, this job was tricky. Most likely, there'd be a ledger for Naruto to read and find out which bullheads were flying where. Finding out which bullhead was going to Mistral would be easy, but finding out which bullhead was getting the shipment would be harder, adding to the fact there's going to be guards patrolling the shipment yard at night, the job was going to be hell.
"Nato! Do you know where were going?" Naruto turned back to Blake and nodded. "Yes, I know where Atlas is from our positions, the problem is Atlas itself. When we get there, we're going to walk the streets like normal people and find a hotel. With how militaristic Atlas is, there's going to be patrol and camera's every, meaning we have to hide in plain sight. The plan is simple, we're going to find a hotel room and sleep tonight, tomorrow afternoon we're going to walk around Atlas and try to find the shipment yard, and tomorrow night, we'll break into it and look for a ledger on which ships are going to Mistral and when. From there, I'll figure out which bullhead it is." The plan was simple, but better said then done. Naruto, not truly wishing to torture a man, was going to start abducting guards the next night, and using his Sharingan to get information out of them on which bullhead Naruto needed.
Blake gave a small nod, but narrowed her eyes. She's only known Naruto for maybe an hour, and she could tell, she didn't like him. At the moment, Naruto was serious, thinking things through, and planning out a plan of attack, something she wasn't expecting him to do. He, in Blake's eyes, acted like a child and wasn't someone she originally took as a serious person, but at the moment all signs of playfulness were gone, and in front of her was a serious man on a mission. He was dangerous, and Blake knew Naruto wasn't to be trusted. He had powers she had never seen before, had taken down Kuromi the Blue Blood, someone Blake couldn't even take down, and had defeated over forty men in one night, making Blake extremely weary around Naruto at the moment.
Naruto stopped on a small, snowy rock, and put his arm up, causing Blake to stop to. Holding up a finger to silence her Naruto pointed down below. Blake looked to where Naruto was pointing, then cursed her luck at not having a weapon at the moment, as she saw a patrol of A.K-130's down below, about twenty of them, with ten human guards walking along the wall outside. Naruto made no move to attack, so Blake waited a few seconds to see what he was going to do. Naruto leaned back, near Blake, and started to whisper in her ear through his scarf.
"Don't do anything reckless. Let them pass and I'll sneak us in once they're gone. We can't afford a confrontation at the moment" Blake said nothing as she looked back down, and saw all the guard bots and guards walking by in a slow, practiced formation. When one guard turned his head, Naruto jumped back, grabbed Blake by her collar, and placed a henge on the both of them to look like a snowy rock, and slapped a hand over Blake's mouth to keep her quite. A guard came up and looked around as the snow they had kicked up started to settle down, but shrugged his shoulders and started to walk away, making both Naruto and Blake blow out a sigh of relief.
"Come on, let's go." Seeing that the guards were far enough down, Naruto and Blake jumped from the little perch they were on, and landed on the ground. Blake looked around, confused on how Naruto was going to get them in, but when she turned to him and saw him sticking his hand out, Blake sighed as she grabbed it, knowing Naruto was about to pull out some insane move.
"I can phase us through the wall, but I need to be making contact with you to do so. Just follow my lead and walk through the wall, and whatever you do, do not let go." Blake gave a small nod, and followed Naruto as he started to walk towards the wall and when she saw him walk through it, Blake closed her eyes but the second her body started to phase through the wall, Blake almost let go from the uneasy feeling she had, but Naruto squeezed her hand and she kept walking. When Naruto let go, Blake looked around and saw they were in a small alleyway behind some buildings, and started to follow Naruto as he walked.
Naruto started to walk down the alley, but when he saw a door on the side of a diner, He walked through it, with Blake followed him. Blake didn't question why he entered the diner, but when Naruto walked out the front door, she raised an eyebrow, wondering what the point of doing that was for.
"So were not seen leaving the ally, it'd raise some questions from some people." Deciding to just go along with him, Blake quietly thought about her new partner for the moment. He was an enigma, unpredictable, and showed the skill of a warrior. He was also untouchable, Blake wasn't stupid, if Naruto could phase through walls, what's to say he couldn't phase through attacks, making it impossible to touch him. He had moves she had never seen before, but he also seemed crazy, and as Adam had said it, he was nothing but a liability, and it was hard to determine what he was thinking. Naruto was also annoying as hell, and didn't seem to care for peoples personal space, but at the flick of switch, he pulled a complete one eighty, and was being so serious, Blake had to question if he had a split personality disorder, or if he just did it on purpose. Whatever it was, Blake was interested, but still very weary, of 'Nato Namikaze'.
For the past two weeks, as Blake watched the news, she kept seeing the same name over and over again. Nato Namikaze. He was dangerous, and didn't seem to care for the well being of others, but somehow, every time he was on the news, the worst thing to happen to someone was a broken arm. First time she saw him, the news was talking about an unknown assailant that had burned down the Vale Government Officials office and blew up half a train, but two days later, Nato Namikaze's name was released to the public when he had been arrested on the scene of a burning down warehouse, were he had been taken in for questioning, but before the police could charge him, he suspiciously disappeared from his cell, along side all of his items that they had in an evidence locker. A day later, Nato Namikaze was seen, from live coverage, completely destroying over forty members of the White Fang who were trying to steal some dust, then managed to take out the camera of the news from a well timed knife throw. Then, two days ago, Nato was on the news for a fourth time, because he had broken into, and robbed, an ammo store, and would have gotten away with it to, if he hadn't wrote 'Nato did it!' in sharpie all over the store. Blake narrowed her eyes at the man, and vowed to figure out why he had really joined the White Fang.
"Come on kitten, here's a hotel that we can stay in." Blake looked towards the tall white, almost twenty story building that Naruto had stopped in front of, and followed behind him as he walked in. Just from looking around on the inside, the place was nice, and looked to be a tad bit to expensive for Blake's taste, but Naruto paid no mind to that as he walked up to the front desk, placed the man at the counter in a genjutsu, and pulled down his scarf.
"How're you doing? I'm trying to get a room a few nights, what's the best room you have?" The man nodded and then started to type away on his keyboard for a few seconds. Naruto took off his glasses, not needing them because only him and Blake were in the main area at the moment, and sent her a smirk as the man looked back up.
"Sir, the best room we have is the V.I.P suit that's usually reserved for the General or top ranking military personal… but, since no one's taking it, I think I can pull a few strings and let you stay in it for a few nights." Naruto nodded with a pleased smile, happy at the prospect of sleeping in a comfortable bed, and let the man continue.
"Here at the Tipton Hotels, we serve complimentary breakfast in bed at nine o'clock. The pools and sauna are free for all guest, and you get complimentary bath robes. Is there anything else I can help you with sir?" Naruto shook his head, and placed the man in one more genjutsu as he looked to Blake, then back to the concierge.
"No thank you Mr.… Mosby, that'll be all" The man, Mr. Mosby nodded with a pleased smile as he turned around to grab a set of keys, then handed them to Naruto. "Well sir, you have a splendid time here at the Tipton hotels. If you need anything, and I mean anything, don't be afraid to call down here and I'll have it brought right up." Knowing that he actually needed something, Naruto let Mr. Mosby know.
"Tomorrow when the breakfast is sent, can I also have a map of Atlas." Mr. Mosby nodded right away, and started to look on his computer. "Of course sir, I shall have the most detailed and finest of maps brought to you." Naruto said no more as he started to walk away, Blake walking right behind him, shocked at what he had done, and wondering how he had gotten a room that was reserved for generals, for free! It was insane, and honestly, Blake wasn't shocked as she followed Naruto into the elevator.
"Pretty good huh? Free hotel room for a few days, and a nice one to." Naruto's grin stretched from ear to ear, and Blake looked on in fascination at the way Naruto's scarred face moved. She badly wanted to know what happened to the red eyed man, but stopped herself from asking, knowing it wasn't of importance. Arriving at the top of the twentieth floor, Naruto and Blake walked out and looked at the small, narrow hallway they were in, so looking at his keys, Naruto pointed to the door that said 'A' on it, and unlocked it.
Naruto was shocked. The hotel room was huge! The room alone was bigger then Naruto's apartment by three times, and had everything a person could need, even an indoor Jacuzzi. In the middle of the room was huge, round shaped couch that was big enough for ten people, with a table in the middle of it. Off to the side of the room was a giant T.V, at least one hundred inches, that was on a very nice entertainment center. There was a kitchen that had a stove, fridge, an island bar, a lot of cabinets, and really nice tile working. There was a few champagne bottles in a metal bucket, and wine glasses off to the side. On the other side of the room was three doors leading to bedrooms, a door leading to a bathroom, and a sliding glass door leading to a terrace with a few chairs to sit on, and to finish everything off a basket full of snacks, wrapped in a nice purple bow. Looking everything over, Naruto turned to Blake and grinned.
"Well, what do you think kitten?" Blake turned to Naruto with a dry look, making Naruto chuckle. "It's nice… better then what I've ever seen…. And will you stop calling me kitten? It's racist and degrading." Naruto grinned as he shook his head no, and walked over towards one of the rooms.
"I'm gonna call it a night, we need to be up before nine so I can get a good look at the map of here, and tomorrow we'll scout the shipment yard out, night Kitten!" Naruto walked into his room, and grinned at the successful first day on the job. Definitely not how he intended it to go, but it was good nonetheless. Walking over towards his giant king size bed, Naruto started to get undressed, deciding to shower in the morning, and folded everything neatly and set It down on the small table and laid his head down.
Day one of being apart of the White Fang was complete, but Naruto knew he had more things to do. Figuring out all of the leaders, keeping his cover under tact without being found, and so much more. But, Naruto couldn't help the grin that came to his whiskered face, in his two weeks of being in remnant, Naruto had made more decisions in this life then his last, and could honestly say, he was having fun being a well known criminal wanted by one kingdom, surely to be three after this little heist, and he had to admit, it was fun. The thrill of being wanted, knowing out there, someone was searching you down, spending hours of there time, trying to catch him while he was having fun was exhilarating and new, and it made Naruto want to do it more. He'd never become like the White Fang, they were monsters, not criminals, but, living life freely, taking what he wanted when he wanted, not answering to anyone like he use to answer to Tsunade, and just doing what he felt like doing, was awesome! And before Naruto fell asleep, he had one last though, He wanted more of the excitement of being a criminal.
