Hey Guys, TSF here and today I bring you chapter six of Vulpine Sancto. Took me a little bit longer to write then usual, as i'm still trying to get down writing action scenes, so sorry if this chapter sucks, because i'm still not that good at those type's of scenes.
I wanted to point out a few things.
Kyo no Kitsune pointed out that the henge( Transformation) jutsu is an actual transformation, and an illusion. I screwed up on that one.
Also, before anyone is like, 'Omg Kakashi was able to use a perfect Suano'o, why can't Naruto?' I want to call bullshit on Kishimoto, and say he just got extremely lazy. Because if Kakashi could execute a full body Susanoo, then I fail to see how Sasuke and Itachi couldn't do so right away then, and not do it in stages. So I decided to go with Naruto will learn the Susano'o in stages, and not be be able to execute something perfectly unlike the Uchiha clan.
remember, leave a review, and until next time, stay golden Ponyboy.
...ooOoo...
"Come on guys? I don't have that much more money." A dark, pink haired man whined as he sat at a small table, surrounded by three other people in a dimly lit, warehouse surrounding a bullhead. In his hands were seven cards, like the people next to him, and in the middle of the table was a stack of cards with some empty bottles of booze. It was night time in the Kingdom of Atlas, and like most nights, Salmon Flora, a member of Atlas' military, was sitting around a small table with his friends, playing cards, and drinking booze, because hey, who would be stupid enough to attack them?
"Don't be such a baby Salmon, play us in one more hand, then we'll get back to work. Not like stuff is happening." Salmon furrowed his dark pink eyebrows in concentration for a second, but nodded as Laurel started to shuffle the cards in his hands, then started to pass them out again. The stakes were high, and Salmon did not plan on losing again. They were each given seven cards, having restarted the game, something they weren't suppose to be doing, but they weren't worried, what Salmon was worried about though, was coming into this game for three hundred lien in his hand, and now only had twenty. The stakes were high, cards had been dealt, and the intensity of the game was getting to everyone.
"Salmon, it's your go." Salmon nodded, and looked down at the cards in his hands. Two aces, a king, two two's, a nine, and a three, he had something, going, but It was deciding which cards he wanted to work on and lay down. Looking over at his stoic teammates, Salmon frowned, wondering who would crack first, as he really didn't want it to be him again.
"Ash… do you have any ace's." Ash clicked his tongue in annoyance and threw Salmon the red ace of hearts he had in his hand, and frowned when Salmon laid down the three aces, which in turn caused him to go again. It was always like this, Salmon would act like he was losing big time, sucker someone in to playing more by discreetly tricking his opponents into taking pity on him, and playing again, and then in one game he'd take back all his money and more.
"Matte… any two's?" Matte cursed his luck, and laid down a black two of spades, and flicked it over to the pink haired man, who laid down his three two's, and went onto the next one. Feeling slightly tipsy, and having a major urge to pee, Matte stood up.
"I'lls be back.. I's gotta wizz." The ashy black haired man stood up, and started to stumble until Laurel placed a hand on his shoulder, and steadied the man. Sending him a nod of thanks, Matte started to stumble around in the darkness of the outside, intent on taking a pee because of the overcoming urge that had hit him. Leaving the hanger/warehouse area that they had been assigned to watch from the Schnee dust company, Matte stood in between two hangers and placed his hand on the wall, slowly losing the urge to pee.
Behind Matte, a single, red eye that glowed in the darkness of the night opened, which was quickly followed by two amber colored eyes. Letting the sense of pleasure wash over him, Matte shook his willy two times, then quickly zipped up his zipper, and went to turn around, when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm behind you…" Matte whirled around, and instantly brought his gun up and pointed it around frantically, but when he didn't see a thing, Matte shakily started to walk backwards, his inebriated mind making up thoughts of a demon or grimm behind him.
"L-Laurel, S-Salmon, A-Ash? I-Is that you?... This isn't f-funny guys…" He was starting to get scared, and while the correct thing to do in that situation was to call for help, Matte was wasted, and his mind was screaming at him to run, or kill whatever was messing with him. Matte turned around and pointed his gun as he heard footsteps behind him, his safety off, and finger hovering over the trigger. Right behind him, the same blood red and black eye opened up, and placed a hand on Matte's shoulder.
"Don't take your eyes off of me…" Matte whirled around again, but just like last time, Matte saw nothing but the darkness of the alley he was in, making him scared. Right behind him, about ten feet away, amber colored eyes opened, and started to slowly stalk towards Matte, who was her prey at the moment. Right before the amber colored eyed stalker was able to attack, a single, red eye opened right in front of Matte's eye, causing his own eyes to widen, but before anything could happen, the amber colored stocker was suddenly behind Matte, her hand covering his mouth, effectively stopping him from screaming. Matte tried to scream, but nothing happened so he tried to pull down on the trigger of his weapon, but before he had a chance, it was ripped from his hand, disarming him effectively. Looking back to the red and black eye, Matte's eyes widened in fear as a face was revealed. The face, oh god the face! It was something straight out of a horror movie. The face was melting, while the eyeballs were hanging from their sockets, with centipedes and millipedes crawling in and out of crevices in the face, through the mouth, and out the eyes. It was to much for Matte's drunken state, and with a gasp, Matte crumbled to the floor in a silence, not being able to make a sound as the amber eyed stalker caught him.
With one target down, without making any sound, and a little bit of fun on the red eyed mans end, the amber eyed woman, and single, red eyed man moved on. The plan was now an motion, and because of that, the red eyed man held his hands up, and in a puff of smoke, Matte was standing again, while the real Matte quickly had a gravity seal placed on his body, duct tape over his mouth, and his body hidden behind a bin. The red eyed man nodded to the amber eyed woman, and walked back into the warehouse all the other guards were in.
Taking a seat on the crate that was being used as a chair, the imposter Matte picked up his cards, and got into the game. Laurel, Ash, and Salmon all looked towards the slightly tipsy Matte, swearing something seemed different about him, but shrugging there shoulders, all four men got back to there game of go-fish.
"You's got's any four's Ashie?" Matte asked, and was rewarded as Ash cursed and threw him a four, even thought it didn't matter as Matte severely behind in the game from the piss that had been taken. Placing down the three fours, Matte went on, his drunken eyes discreetly watching amber colored eyes sneak across the room. With a slight nod of his head, Matte looked at his fellow guards, then back to the amber colored eyes and shook his head. Getting a slight nod back, Matte got back to his game, while also pulling out a scroll.
"Let's play sum music guys." Matte drawled it out as his head rolled slight, while he silently typed away on his scroll, and in a few seconds, music filled the very quite hanger, as Matte discreetly looked back to the amber eyes woman, and gave a small nod. As the base drop of his song played though out hanger, A small door on the bullhead in the hanger opened, where the amber eyed woman disappeared to. With the first stage of the mission done, Matte leaned back into his chair, and simply waited.
"Got any sevens Matte?" Matte looked down towards his cards, and shook his head, a grin on his face as he had every number from two to eight, but seven. Cursing, Ash slammed his cards down, and called it quits, having already lost more then have his money. Matte had about three thousand lien, while Laurel had about ten thousand lien, something Matte felt like winning. Salmon…. All three present members turned to Salmon to see him snoring away lightly.
"You on Matte? Me vs you, winner takes all? That's a total of thirteen thousand lien." The grin on Laurel's face was one of someone who thought he was going to win, no matter what. Matte gave a resigned, drunken nod, and grabbed the cards, and started to shuffle them, flipping them between his hands with the skill of a thief, Matte put pressure on the sides of the cards, and let them ripple from one hand to the other, while simultaneously memorizing the entire decks order. Passing out the cards, starting with Laurel, then himself, the Laurel, Matte finished on the seventh card, and placed the cards down.
Picking up his own cards, Matte smirked as he had two aces, two three's, two kings, and one seven. Already knowing what Laurel had, Matte allowed the man to go first, and wasn't surprised when Laurel asked for a seven, as it was the only paired cards he had in his hands. Seeing the grinning man huff in victory, Matte waited silently for his turn, and when Laurel asked for a four, Matte grinned.
"Got's any's three's?" Matte's drunken slur sounded out through the hanger, but it was quickly muffled by Laurel's scream of 'fuck' as he passed a three of hearts to Matte, and watched with anger as Matte laid down three three's, and went on to his next cards.
"Got's any's aces?" Matte had to hide his grin when Laurel cursed again, his luck seemingly gone during the final card game, and reluctantly handed over a black ace of spades, where he then watched Matte lay down three more cards, all ace's next to three three's. Deciding to be nice, Matte threw out a random card, a card he didn't have, and hid his amusement behind his hand as Laurel promised a 'comeback'.
"Got any kings?" Matte nodded, already knowing that Laurel was going to ask for it at one point, as Matte had two kings, meaning Laurel had two kings, now, it was all about who asked for the kings first. Continuing on with the game, Laurel asked for a two, but frowned when Matte said he didn't have it. Now that it was Matte's turn, Laurel frowned as he looked down at his hand, and realized it wasn't a killer hand that would win a game, unless he suddenly got some good cards, which he didn't possibly see happening.
"Got's any's…. Kings?" Laurel stood up, and threw his two kings down, which were happily picked up by Matte, who still had a card in his hand. Seeing that Laurel was walking away, Matte took the Lien, and after making sure no one was looking, the Lien disappeared in a puff of smoke. Standing up, Matte turned to the hanger door that loudly started to open, and like the three other men, even Salmon who was just asleep, snapped into attention as a man walked inside, wearing a different uniform then them. Saluting the man that walked by them, all four men called out at the same time.
"Commander Maize!" Commander Maize, a mahogany haired man with sharp, alluring purple eyes snapped to his subordinates, and saluted back. All at once, all five men dropped there hands, with Laurel, Matte, Salmon, and Ash standing at attention, waiting to see what their commander was going to see.
"At ease men. Today, we have a simple job. Nothing to dangerous, more so just watching some crates. We leave in twenty, where we'll be flying to Mistral, get a giant shipment of dust, then fly to Vale, then Vacuo, then back home, men. Ash, you're our pilot to Mistral, Laurel, Salmon, our hidden gunners incase something happens while we fly to Mistral, Matte, you're on look out. Any questions?" All four men shook there heads, any sign of being drunk completely gone. Commander Maize nodded, and motioned for his men to move out.
"Get ready, and we'll depart soon. Ash, get ol' Betsy up and runnin', Laurel, Salmon, make sure you have all the ammo you could need, if you think you'll need more, run to the hanger across from us, and grab however much you need. Matte, check the ship, follow procedure and make sure everything's in place. Got it!" All four men saluted there Commander, and took off, ready to achieve there duties. Matte grinned as he made eye contact with the Commander, just like he had done with Laurel, Ash, and Salmon, and in a puff of smoke, the ashy black haired man was gone, replaced with a man wearing a swirling orange mask, a black cloak with red clouds on it, and ash white bones protruding from his head. Now that everyone had been placed in a genjutsu, Naruto silently walked up to the bullhead, literally walking onto the ship he was about to steal without a problem in the world, and started to 'inspect' the bullhead. Pulling out his scroll, Naruto smirked as he started to type away.
-Plan underway, get ready, we leave in twenty.- Sending his text, Naruto closed his scroll, and placed it in his pocket. The plan was simple, and while it had been modified a few times, they had come up with something that worked for the both of them. The original plan was for Naruto and Blake to sneak into the bullhead before any of the members came to work, and simply wait. It worked well for Blake, until she learned Naruto and herself were going to be hiding in a small access grate on the ground that was 6 in a half feet long, by two in a half feet tall, meaning she would have been laying on Naruto for almost two hours in a confined space, something she wasn't comfortable with doing, so Naruto was forced to change the plan, even thought he secretly thought about just sticking Blake in his dimension. Though, Naruto came up with a new plan, which worked out well. Naruto placed a drunken member of the guard in a genjutsu, making him feel the urge to pee, knocked him out, and then placed himself in a genjutsu to look like the man. Now, only thing Naruto had to do was act like a member of the guard, by using a shadow clone, and keep Blake and himself hidden until they landed, loaded up, where each member was then going to pass out because of a suggestion Naruto implemented into them, something Obito had left behind for him to learn.
The implementations were simple, and could stay within one's body for a long time. By making eye contact, Naruto could leave a suggestion in their brain, that would activate if they were to say or do the key word/activity, and even against there wishes, their bodies would act on there own to do it. Say someone tried to turn on him, instead of attacking Naruto, they'd attack themselves or a partner. Something, without Blake's knowing, Naruto had done to Blake. If Blake ever went to Adam, and tried to tell him any of the information Naruto told her, she'd pass out immediately, without having the chance to tell him, as Naruto laid a double layer implementation genjutsu on Blake, that would one, not only make her pass out if she tried to tell Adam something, two, Blake would forget anything Naruto ever told her. The information would be there, but if she tried to reach it, the chakra Naruto placed in her brain would mess with her senses, not allowing her the chance to remember. He wasn't taking any chances.
-Why don't we knock another guard out so we can walk around and do something?- Naruto looked down at the scroll Blake handed him, as they were now just passing the scroll back and forth, and shook his head, having already figured Blake was going to ask that.
-Can't, I only know how to fly a bullhead because I watched a MyHub video on it. You don't really know how to, and I'd rather just sit here and do nothing then sit in two gunners seat's and not be able to shoot some big ass guns.- Handing the scroll back to Blake, who nodded, Naruto frowned, wishing this flight was already over. His flying, while it would suffice, was going to be horrendous. Naruto had, true to his word, watched a twenty minute video on how to fly a bullhead, and that was all the knowledge he had on the subject. He didn't know cool evasive tricks incase something happened, he didn't know how to stop a bullhead suddenly, spin it around, and take off again, he didn't know any of that. He knew how to get the bullhead off the ground, and how to go straight, and that was it. His landing plan, which wasn't really a landing plan, was to get as close as possible to the ground, send Blake to his dimension, then became intangible and crash while hoping to the mighty Oum, apparently the god of the universe, even if Naruto still believed in Kami, that he doesn't blow the bullhead up.
It wasn't going to be pretty, but it was going to work, and that was all Naruto was planning for. As long as he got all the dust back to Adam, and became a member, then he'd take a small crash course. Looking over, as Blake was trying to get his attention, Naruto grabbed the scroll from her, and started to read it.
-So what are we going to do if we're chased after we steal it?- Naruto frowned, having thought of that also. If this was such a big haul, there'd be no way Mistral would allow Naruto to just fly out of there, without at least trying to get it back. Meaning, most likely, Mistral was going to send other bullheads after them that were going to be loaded up with Guards, Atlesian Knight-130's, and maybe even professional Huntsman and Huntresses. The worst case that could happen, would be an all out fight in the air, with Blake manning the bullhead while Naruto tries to take down the bullheads without any casualties, which would be hard. He couldn't use kamui, as trying to take out a fleet of bullhead's would make him go blind for about an hour, as Naruto had realized, if he used kamui to many times, he'd slightly lose his eyesight, just for it to be healed soon after. But using kamui on that many bullhead, Naruto knew he'd go blind for a bit, and that'd put the two criminals at a major disadvantage, one they probably wouldn't be able to fight there way out of.
-If I was to get this bullhead in the air, and showed you a very brief tutorial on how to fly it, think you could do it?- Naruto didn't even hand the scroll back to Blake, more so just showed her the message, and after seeing her nod, Naruto started to think of a plan.
-If we get chased, which for some reason I feel like is going to happen, I'm going to handle the enemy reinforcements, and you'll lead us to where we need to go, got it kitten?- Getting another nod from Blake, Naruto reached into his pocket, and pulled out his pipe, he didn't need to worry about the men on board smelling it, as he had messed with their senses, making Naruto and Blake almost undetectable at the moment, unless for some reason they decided to come check the corner they were in. While Naruto started to puff away on his pipe, having taken off his mask since there was no need for it, even though Blake still couldn't see him, Blake opened her book, Make-out Tactics, and started to read. Though, Naruto surmised she was either going to ask him within the next twenty minutes if Naruto had another book, or go back to the first one and start over again, something Kakashi did, as he was always seen reading a make-out book from the series.
-From Mistral to where we're suppose to be flying to, how far is it?- Naruto frowned, trying to think of anything else to type, as he needed to know. Adam said Blake knew where they're suppose to go, but Naruto didn't know, and not knowing how far it was could be detrimental, as they could lead someone to base if they didn't take out all the bullhead.
-About a hour and forty five minute flight.- Naruto furrowed his eye brows together, and nodded. That's be plenty of time, hopefully, to get rid of any forces following them and to lose them by flying around for a bit. Hopefully, for Naruto, none of that would happen.
-You think we'll be chased though? Maybe they'll let us go…- It was a weak question, and Naruto knew Blake was asking it more out of hope then anything, but shaking his head, Naruto looked forward, watching the members work as he puffed on his pipe. There was no way they'd be allowed to with a shipment of dust that big, which, If Naruto's intel was right, was ranging up in the millions of Lien.
-No… After this, and after we're seen, most likely you and I are going to be all over the news. There'll be search parties, bounties placed on our heads, and people constantly looking for us…- While Naruto wasn't sure if that was true, back home that's what would of happened. He would have been placed in the bingo book, be labeled from anywhere from a B rank threat, to a S rank threat, and hunter-nin of all sorts would be gunning for his head. If this world was smart, they'd have something similar from criminals. Naruto wasn't worried though, that was what the mask was for, and that was why he intentionally got arrested with a genjutsu over himself, so anytime something happened, all blame went to Nato Namikaze, and not Naruto Uzumaki by some chance that someone made the connection.
-Do you… have something I can hide myself with?...- Naruto read the text, and frowned. His other mask wouldn't work, Blake wasn't use to working with only one eye, unlike Naruto who was constantly using an echolocation jutsu to have a mental image in his brain. A genjutsu could work, but if for some chance Blake was hit, it'd drop and she'd be exposed. A henge, which was a real transformation, wouldn't work for Blake unless she was right next to Naruto, who would have to feed her chakra to keep up the henge. Frowning to himself, Naruto reached pulled down his gloves, showing Blake his seal lined arm for a second, and released a scroll from his upper arm. Undoing the seal, Naruto handed Blake a shirt, his black and purple cloak, as he was wearing his Akatsuki cloak, an orange beanie and a pair of black sunglasses.
-You'll need to chance now. Put the shirt on, it has a face mask on it that'll cover up to your nose, and hide your eyes with the black glasses. Then cover your hair with my beanie, and hide your body with my cloak. It should do.- Blake grabbed everything from Naruto, who looked straight, but narrowing her eyes, Blake motioned for him to turn around, which got an amused sigh from Naruto.
Taking off her black buttoned vest with coattails, and lying it next to her, Blake cast her eyes over to Naruto, to make sure he wasn't looking, and started to unbutton her white shirt, leaving her in a black bra with white lace. Throwing on the oversized shirt Naruto had given her, Blake pulled up the face mask, and then threw on the black sunglasses. Taking off a ribbon from her arm, Blake tied her hair into a ponytail, and then throw on the orange beanie, followed by the cloak, which she quickly threw up the hood, covering herself completely. Tapping Naruto on the shoulder, Naruto turned around, and looking Blake over. Nodding his head, Naruto pushed some of Blake's hair into her beanie, then went back to leaning against the metal plating of the bullhead, completely missing the slight redness to the only visible part of Blake's face from the unexpected close contact.
-There, that's better. Now, when we're seen, you'll be hidden away and no one will know it was you.- Getting a nod from Blake, Naruto grinned in happiness as the bullhead was finally lifting up into the air. His grin dropped though, when he realized he still had at least a two hour flight.
..ooOoo..
Shaking Blake's shoulder's lightly, Naruto woke up the cat faunus, but covered her mouth as she was about to yawn. Pointing forward, Naruto shook his head, and motioned for her to be quite because of the horde's of men carrying in crates with what Naruto could only guess to be dust. Blake had, after lift off, fallen asleep and Naruto allowed the ravenette the chance to sleep, as they had tried to sleep all day so they could be up during the night time, but it didn't work so Naruto placed her in a genjutsu, which wasn't really her sleeping, more of her body shutting down and forcing itself to rest.
-We just landed.. When I get a chance I'm going to change both of our appearances, but whatever you do, do not allow anyone to touch you, or the illusion will drop.- Handing the scroll to Blake, Naruto looked at her and envisioned a random guard that would easily be able to blend in, and layered the genjutsu, making it tougher, and more durable. Doing the same to himself, Naruto first placed himself in a henge of Matte, a physical transformation, then layered two other genjutsu over the henge, and sat.
-Got it… what's the plan?- Taking a moment to think, Naruto frowned as he tried to figure out a way to do this. They had everything planned out, but the execution itself would be tough, and getting up into the air, and away as fast at they could while trying to shake off any pursuers would be the hardest part of it all. Naruto smirked as he pulled up his pant leg, where a hidden mechanism was, holding five kunai going up his leg. Grabbing them, and revealing the paper wrapped around the handle, Naruto handed them to Blake, and started to type away.
-When we're in the clear, I want you to sneak off, and plant these in places where no one can find them around the ship. The last two I'm about to hand you, I want you to throw them directly under the ship, got it.- After getting a confirmative, Naruto sat silently, and waited for the perfect moment to drop the genjutsu around him and Blake, and blend in with the crowd of working men and guards loading up the crates full of dust. Seeing that two were quietly talking in the corner, Naruto took this as his chance, and placed the two of them in a genjutsu, and grinned as he had a chance to drop the genjutsu around Blake and himself.
"Guys! I just saw a faunus running!" All the members on ship grabbed there weapons, and huddled outside, allowing Naruto and Blake the chance blend in. With them distracted, Blake got to work, and threw the two kunai under the ship, like instructed, then slipped away, and started to plant the other kunai in hidden places. While Blake was doing that, Naruto placed the same two men in another genjutsu, and had them tell everyone it was just a prank, and got to work carrying up the crates.
The shipment yard they were in was huge, and had many other bullhead that was either picking up shipments, or were fueling up, which was bad. It was still dark out, as it was only about four o'clock, and the workers had only been able to carry in 10 of what looked to be about 50 giant crates, which would surely slow down the bullhead when they tried to get away. Naruto looked around, and spotted one man re-fueling the ship, and another man cleaning the windows of any debris. Naruto looked around, and spotted his shadow clone that had changed it's appearance, and sent a small nod to the corporeal clone. The clone snuck off, now that Naruto was there to oversee things, and walked into the ship and hid itself in the gunners room, just incase the band of criminals needed cover fire to slow down any pursuers.
Now that everything was set up, Naruto carried on with loading up the ship, not even worried about any mishaps that were surely going to happen, as he had done everything he could to make sure nothing went straight to hell. So, for about an hour in a half, Naruto carried crates to the ship, loading it up, while secretly inside his heart was pounding with anticipation, ready to go. It was an exciting moment, and Naruto was ready. There was a few times when someone had bumped into him, but Naruto was able to keep his façade of a worker, until the entire ship was full of dust.
Smirking as he walked away, Naruto spotted Blake already on board, and walked up to the loading ramp, and clicked a button. Once that was done, over twenty different workers dropped to the floor, asleep, while other ones started to freak out at the members that suddenly dropped. Running past Blake, Naruto ran straight into the control room, with Blake following him, and made a shadow clone that took a seat in the second chair, and at the same time, they started to flick random switches, just as a siren started to go off.
"Kitten! Watch what I'm doing, this'll be your crash course in flying bullhead's." Blake nodded, and watched Naruto as he and his clone, something Blake was jealous of, kept on flicking random switches. When that was done, the two rested there hands on one last switch, and made eye contact. With a nod, they both flicked the switch, and the bullhead was brought to life, ready to fly. The clone popped, as it wasn't needed for anything else then helping with the switches, and Naruto started to pull on the steering stick, which forced the thrusters down, and the bullhead up. It was rocky, and Naruto was knocking things over as he got the thing into the air, but it worked, and that's all that Naruto cared for. Holding up his right hand into a half ram seal, Naruto turned to Blake.
"Kitten! Close your eyes or you'll be blinded." Blake nodded and covered and closed her eyes, just like Naruto said, but even then, Blake felt her eyes burn slightly as a giant explosion rocked the bullhead, just as a giant white light filled the air.
"What the hell was that!" Naruto smirked as he kept flying, not answering Blake. She didn't need to know that the kunai she planted all over were low grade explosion tags that weren't strong enough to kill a man, only slightly stun him, and flash tags, which would blind each guy down there for about five minutes if they didn't cover there eyes. That would, hopefully, bring down the number of men that were going to be chasing them. Pulling back slightly on the steering stick, Naruto got the bullhead high enough off the ground, and pushed it forward slightly, which swung around the thrusters, making them move forward.
"Okay kitten, listen to what I say.." Seeing that Blake was paying attention, Naruto started him impromptu explanation on how to steer."… Push the steering stick forward lightly, and you'll go forward. Push it forward to far, and we'll nose dive into the ground. Pull back lightly to start stopping, but pull back to hard to fast, and it'll be like hitting a brick wall at the sudden change of speed. Push to the left to start turning left, and push to the right to start turning right. Anything else, and you'll have to figure it out. Don't worry about being a little rough, I can stick to the ground and don't have to worry about being thrown around, and all the dust is locked into place. Got it?" Blake nodded and grabbed the steering stick as Naruto started to phase through the seat, allowing her the chance to sit down and steer, something she had never done before.
The last stage of the plan was now in motion, they had succesfully stolen the bullhead full of the Schnee dust companies dust, and were now on the home stretch, trying to get home. Naruto knew they weren't done yet, only an incompetent government would sit back and allow Naruto the chance to escape with a few million's lien worth of dust. Now that Blake was flying, roughly, Naruto pressed the button to the loading ramp, dropping it. He would do what he could to make sure no one died, they were just innocent people doing there job, and Naruto would not possibly orphan a child just to join a criminal organization. Stealing dust, blowing up building with no one in it, and being part of a wanted terrorist group, yes, orphaning children, no.
The last three days in Atlas Naruto constantly had clones working on his wind and water style jutsu, and everything else his scrolls pertained. Surprisingly, Obito had even left him a scroll on medical ninjutsu, which Naruto was originally going to shrug off, until Obito wrote down that he could learn it, as he didn't have Kurama in his gut anymore and his chakra control had been perfect during the war, which was true since he could easily control a Tailed Beast Bomb. Naruto now had more jutsu under his belt, and hopefully, it would help in this upcoming battle.
His Susanoo was a different story, as he hadn't even tried to do a half bodied Susanoo, as it was a real chakra taxer. It drained his chakra quick, and used a lot of it, and while Naruto had enough chakra to safely use a Susanoo for about 15 minutes, he wasn't an Uchiha, like Kakashi-sensei, who could only use the Susanoo one time because Obito had activated it and pushed enough chakra into Kakashi to keep it up. This was going to be hard, this was going to be a taxing battle, but most of all, it was going to be fun.
Down along the horizon of the rising sun, as it was about six in the morning, Naruto could see small, black dots quickly filling the air, right in front of the sun. From how far away it was, the black dots looked like small birds flying directly in front of the sun, but Naruto knew better, they were bullhead.
" That'd be a cool signature, birds in front of the sun… eh, it's probably already taken." Deciding to not worry about how cool the bullhead's in front of the rising sun looked, Naruto waited patiently on the loading ramp of the bullhead, using his chakra to stick to the platform. The wind was blowing his cloak slightly, and the cool air was washing over the inside of the bullhead, but Naruto didn't mind that.
"Kamui!" The air around Naruto started to ripple, and within a few seconds, Naruto disappeared completely from the bullhead. Landing on top of a random bullhead, Naruto phased through the bottom, and landed silently on the ground and started to walk forward, keeping his body in his dimension, which he could only do five minutes continuously, and walked straight through the wall of the cockpit, where he found two men flying.
"Excuse me, I've seemed to lost my way, I was suppose to be stealing some dust for you guys." Grabbing the main pilot by the head, Naruto smashed his face into the dashboard of the ship, then became intangible, and let a bullet fly right through his head.
"If I were you, I'd grab that steering stick and fly buddy, or you'll crash." The man's eyes widened, but before he could do anything, Naruto grabbed him by the head, and kneed him right in the nose, knocking the man out. Making a shadow clone, Naruto instructed it to fly the men back to Mistral, and then disperse. With one bullhead taken care of, Naruto jumped up, phased through the roof, and landed on the top. Counting the total number of bullhead, Naruto frowned, counting thirty. Thirty bullhead, at least sixty men, and hour and forty minutes to take them all down… sounded like fun. Running through hand seals, Naruto sent his jutsu forward, getting the attention of most of the ships.
"Water Style: Violent Water Wave!" Shooting the water from his mouth forward, Naruto made sure all the pilots, or at least gunners would see the jutsu, and Naruto was successful when he saw guns pointed at him from every direction. They wouldn't shoot, not with the chance of taking down there own, but now that they had a target they'd take there eyes of Blake, allowing her the chance to get away with Naruto's clone, who's job was to come get the real Naruto if Blake landed and Naruto wasn't done sealing with the bullheads.
Crouching down slightly, Naruto pushed chakra into his legs, and shot off of the bullhead, denting it, and phased right through another. Landing in the chamber of the bullhead, Naruto raised both eyebrows at the horde of people that looked ready to go to war. Before anyone could do anything, Naruto ran through hand seals, and hit them all with a water jutsu, disorienting them.
"Water Style: Violent Water Wave!" Running forward, Naruto jumped up and kicked one member in the face, and watched as he was sent flying into the wall. Ducking under a kick from another man, Naruto bent forward and grabbed the guards legs, picked him up, and started to swing him around, hitting other people, and keeping them at a distance. Letting go of the man, Naruto watched as the guard fly into a few more guards, while the other guards held up their guns and swords shakily.
"H-Halt… You're under arrest. W-We will use deadly force if you do not comply." Naruto smirked under his mask, and turned to the man that was talking, and raised his hands into the air. The man that had talked shakily took some steps forward, never taking his gun off of Naruto, in fear of him attacking. The man took one hand off of his gun, and grabbed Naruto's wrist, but before anything else could happen, Naruto twisted the mans arm with one hand, while pulling his gun from the other. Wrapping his arm around the mans neck, Naruto used him as a hostage, and opened fire on the crowd of men.
He didn't need to worry about the bullets killing the men, as the bullets were none lethal, like all bullets in Remnant. That's why when people faced off against each other, be it tournaments, at school, or just as practice, they weren't afraid to shoot each other, as the bullets were powerful enough to knock a person out, but not to kill them. Naruto unloaded the entire clip on the men in the bullhead, and like previously stated, the pain was to much and they started to drop to the ground. Once the clip was empty, Naruto kicked his hostage in the back of the leg, bring him to one knee, then delivered a quick chop to the back of the neck, knowing him out. There was still at least ten people standing, but most of the floor was covered by groaning men. Punching his arms down, Swirl and Leaf activated and Naruto ran forward, intent on finishing the men off, while having some fun. Appearing in front of the first guard, Naruto threw a punch at the man that was blocked, but before the guard could do anything, Naruto dropped down low, placing his hands on the ground, and brought his foot around, knocking him off balance. The guard hit the ground with a thud, which Naruto capitalized on, and knocked the man out with a kick to the head. Jumping up, Naruto ran through some hand seals, and took out the rest of the guards.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Blowing the guards back hard, all nine men hit the metal exposing of the bullhead, with most of them passing out, while others either just stayed down, or couldn't move from the pain. Creating some shadow clones to deal with the pilots, Naruto frowned.
'This'll take a while is I do this one by one… Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Making a horde of shadow clones, Naruto and his corporeal doubles jumped to the roof of the bullhead they were just in, and landed on the roof, with every single gunner of the bullhead fleet pointing there guns at the army of Naruto's. Naruto looked around, seeing how many people there was, until he smirked as his eyes landed on commander Maize. Waving to the man, Naruto started to read his lips as the man yelled.
"Fire! I want him dead… That's Nato Namikaze!" Naruto smirked, but made no move as he wanted to see what would happen. Commander Maize turned around, then looked back to Naruto, who was flipping him off.
"I don't care! The bullhead will float, that's what it's designed for! Take. Him. Down! NOW!" Naruto smirked as the rotary guns on the bullheads started to spin slowly, but gradually started to pick up speed, and all at once, from all sides, bullets started to rain down on Naruto, causing the commander to smirk as the bullhead started to fall towards the ocean they were over.
"I told you it'd kill him, no catch up to the rogue bullhead." Commander Maize looked forward, not worried about Naruto, but one man on board looked, trying to see if it'd be that easy. His fears were proven correct, and the lone guard turned to his commander, fear plastered on his face.
"C-Commander he's n-not dead.." Commander Maize turned around to see who was talking, but when he saw one of his subordinates pointed, Maize followed his subordinates gaze, which caused his eyes to widen. Naruto wasn't standing on the falling bullhead, He was now on a different one, but that's not what was scaring them. The masked blonde had a silver lining around him, with six robs on each side of his body that was connected to a spinal cord that was behind the blonde. Three arms were coming from the Susano'o, but only the left arm was wrapped in muscles, and didn't even look like a full arm, while the right arm was a skeletal arm and hand, that had a second arm coming out of the elbow of the skeletal hand. The neck, like the left arm, was wrapped in muscles and tendons, unlike the head which was nothing but a skill with a crown of horns on it's head, covering it. This was the incomplete form of the Susano'o, the second stage as you will, and Naruto was going to show them, they had no chance of winning. Naruto grinned as knowledge he never had before rushed to his mind, and placing his hand in a tiger seal, a long, silver sword that appeared to be made out of chakra appeared in Naruto's hand. His Susano'o wasn't complete yet, so he couldn't use the kamui shuriken like Kakashi had done, but he could use a chakra sword. The sword would be fine, and mentally swinging it around a few times, the Susano'o seemed to follow along with his command, and swung the sword around.
"Let's see, Commander Maize said bullhead's were made to float on the water, meaning I could do this, and not have to worry about anyone dying." Bringing the sword around, Naruto cut the wing of one bullhead off, almost making it spin, but before it had a chance to do so, Naruto cut the other wing off and watched as the bullhead started to descend, only for a giant parachute to appear, and safely lower the bullhead down to the water below. Smirking as that made a total of three bullheads brought down, plus all the ones his clones were working on, Naruto jumped from the spot he was on, making a giant leap over a bullhead, and brought his sword down again, dissecting the wings off of another bullhead, and landed safely on the one commander Maize was in.
Naruto grunted as his body started to burn slightly, and he could feel every muscle in his body hurting on a cellular level, making Naruto frown. This wasn't even a complete Susano'o, but his body was already hurting, making him wonder how Sasuke and Madara were able to stand the pain. Bringing his two arms across his silver Susano'o body, Naruto watched as the bullheads around him started to unload dust bullets, hoping to penetrate his impenetrable defense. It didn't work though, and Naruto simply stood there and allowed them to shoot at him, not even worried as the dust bullets bounced like rubber off of him. Once most, if not all, bullets had stopped flying, Naruto placed his hands in a ram seal, and the six fingered hands of his silver Susano'o followed suit. Running through hand seals with his real hands, Naruto willed the Susano'o to place it hands out.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" The wind that was released was like a fierce wind being unleashed upon the world that severely destroyed everything in it's path. The bullheads that were hit by the great breakthrough weren't sent flying, with his metal outside peeling off, his thrusters breaking apart, and all the gas shattering on-board. Naruto gasped as he dropped to his knee's and gripped his heart, his body was on fire at the moment, and he could feel the sticky coldness of blood dripping from his eyes. His body, to a cellular level and beyond felt like it was about to fall apart, but Naruto stopped the Susano'o from depleting, as he wasn't done yet. He'd deal with a hurt body for about a day, he was having to much fun with the Susano'o.
'So… I have a sword like Madara and Sasuke did, but I can channel my wind style jutsu though the Susano'o and use kamui shuriken.. Well, use kamui shuriken when my body can withstand a full body Susano'o..' Naruto grinned at the aspect of being able to channel his wind style ninjutsu through the Susano'o, but decided to worry about all of that at a later time. Bringing the sword around, Naruto cut the wing of a bullhead off that was about to try and hit him off of there commander's bullhead. Bringing his sword around again, Naruto cut the other wing off, and did a mental count of how many bullheads he still needed to worry about.
'10 plus the one I'm on, but my shadow clones got this… shit!' Naruto turned towards his bullhead and cursed he saw about four ships sneaking up on Blake. With an idea in mind, Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out a scroll. Unrolling it, Naruto unsealed one of his clones, which popped immediately, and almost instantaneously relief flooded Naruto's body as he felt the Senjutsu enter his body, making him stronger.
'Note to self, only use Susano'o when I'm in my Senjutsu state.' Naruto held his hands up into a modified tiger seal and used his favorite jutsu, the shadow clone. Allowing his clone entry into his defense, Naruto gripped the clone's hands, and allowed his body to be spun around at a fast pace. The clone let go, and Naruto was sent sailing towards Blake and the bullhead's that were trying to box her in. Seeing that he wasn't going to make it, Naruto made a clone and jumped off of it, which propelled him forward. Landing on the top of one of the ships, Naruto allowed most of his Susano'o to drop, but he still kept four ribs around his body on each side, and phased through the ship.
Landing in the middle of a group of people, Naruto didn't even try to taunt them as he ran forward with Swirl and Leaf cocked back and ready to fire. Punching one man in the face, Naruto didn't even pay him any attention as he turned around and manifested an arm, something that made him growl from how hot his body felt, and allowed it to sweep over the room, knocking everyone into the wall but one man.
"Go pull the switch to the parachute." Placing the only man standing in a genjutsu, Naruto jumped and phased through the roof and was immediately on the prowl again. Phasing though his own bullhead, Naruto kept on going and landed in the middle of another ship. Manifesting his sword again, Naruto tried to swing it around, but he dropped to a knee, as his Susano'o started to disappear. His body, even with the Senjutsu, wasn't ready for the Susano'o and his body was rejecting it. Forcing his body to keep at least three ribs up, Naruto ran forward and started to throw punches at one man, but he was tired so Naruto's punches were sluggish and slow, slow enough for the man to bob and weave through, pissing Naruto off.
Going for a feint punch, Naruto used his momentum and spun around, bringing his heel around, but he was denied the hit when the man again blocked his attack. The guard tried to punch Naruto, which turned out to be his downfall as the man screamed as his hand broke against the rib, so Naruto launched forward and delivered an uppercut that launched the man up, causing him to hit his head on the metal interior of the bullhead. Landing on the ground, Naruto pulled out a kunai and threw it towards the landing ramp, and held up his right hand in a half ram seal. The kunai exploded in a bright flash, blinding everyone but Naruto, who used that as an opportunity to attack. One by one guards were being taken down. Finishing off the last guard, Naruto phased through the door, and grabbed both pilots by the head, slammed them into the control panel, and knocked them out. Literally dragging his hand across the control panel, Naruto hit every single button, and smirked as the ship jerked roughly. Walking through the side of the bullhead, Naruto used chakra to stick to the side, and when he had a clear jumped, Naruto phased into his bullhead with Blake, and landed on the ground in a heap of pain.
There was still bullheads outside, at least four, but Naruto's entire body was on fire, and even with the Senjutsu running through him, Naruto felt his body shutting down. He had over done it with the Susano'o, as his body wasn't entirely ready for anything past the rib cage and a single arm, not an entire incomplete upper half. Blake looked over as Naruto fell to the ground, and her eyes widened as she saw Naruto shakily move his hand over to his mask, and pulled it off. Blood that had piled up inside of Naruto's mask flowed down his face, and onto his cloak. Blake tried to stand up to help Naruto, but was stopped from doing so when Naruto shook his head.
"Don't…. I'm… fine, just a little… tired…call for my.. Clone… kitten." Blake watched as Naruto wiped the blood off of his face with his sleeve, and did what he said. The clone came running in, and once it saw the state it's boss was in, Broke out laughing. That is, until Blake sent it a glare, which caused it to stop.
"Clone Nato… man the ship while I tend to Nato.." Naruto wanted to tell her to stop, but his body really hurt at the moment, and he knew he needed some help, even if Blake wouldn't be able to help that much. Blake reached under her seat, and grabbed a small medical pack. Kneeling down next to Naruto, Blake frowned as she poured a little bit of water on the orange beanie she had taken off, and started to wipe across Naruto's face.
"Nato… what happened to you? And… why are you crying blood?" Naruto grimaced as the lukewarm water washed over his face, cleaning up all the blood. His vision at the moment was horrible, as all he saw of Blake was a giant black blob that had no real discerning features.
"I… overused my powers… which caused me… to bleed like this…" Blake frowned as she slightly lifted Naruto's head up, and tilted the water into his mouth, letting him drink it. Naruto gulped it down quickly, as his entire mouth felt drier then Suna's desert at the moment, and that wasn't even the worst thing, it was his headache that was killing him. Blake was about to say something, but cursed as she cradled Naruto's head in her lap and bent over, bullets flying through one side of the metal interior of the bullhead, through the other.
"We need… to deal with the bullhead… my clones were all destroyed… besides the one flying… and I can't create more.. At the moment." Blake nodded as she turned to the clone that was flying, then back to Naruto, who was suppose to be the impromptu leader, while Blake was watching him, but at the moment, she didn't care as she was more worried about the man that was leaking blood from his eye still.
"Do you think you'd be able to fly the bullhead if me and your clone went and dealt with the others?" Naruto shook his head, not liking that plan. "Can't do… if my clone pops.. I'd have to come get you and this bullhead would crash, and we'd lose the cargo…" Naruto forced his arm up, and held it in a half ram seal, about to disperse his shadow clone.
"Kitten… take the wheel… while I rest for a few minutes. Just dodge and weave.. Okay…" Blake looked uneasy for a second, but after a second hesitation, went and grabbed the stick from the clone, who went up in a puff of smoke not even a second later. Naruto smirked as a bit of chakra from the clone re-entered his body, instead of just staying in the air, which made his body feel better. Reaching back into his pocket, Naruto pulled out a scroll, unrolled it, and unsealed his last shadow clone, which popped right away. Taking more energy into his body, Naruto forced his body up, and slowly walked towards the second seat of the bullhead, intent on resting a few seconds, even if there was still about four bullhead's on their tale, unloading clips into them. Naruto could hear their own guns shooting to, as he had a shadow clone down in the gunners box aiming for the thrusters of the enemy, hoping to make them crash land.
"Kitten… how far are we?" Blake frowned, as she could see land in the distance, and started to calculate exactly where they were from her knowledge, the path they had flown, and where exactly in Mistral they were when they left. Humming to herself for a few seconds, Blake let Naruto know how far until they'd be the one of the White Fang's bases.
"About 30 minutes and we'll arrive… we need to get these bullhead's off of us or we'll lead them right to the White Fang." Naruto furrowed his eyebrows together as he tried to think of something. His body hurt to much to truly move, but Blake wouldn't be able to take out four bullhead's by herself, meaning Naruto had to do it somehow.
"Let me drive, kitten… I can shake them off, I think…" Naruto did sound to sure, and his eyes were drooping slightly for the exhaustion, but Blake moved over nonetheless, and let go of the stick once Naruto had it. Sitting down, Blake buckled up, which was a good thing, as the ship suddenly jerked to the right and started to descend rapidly, causing the usually quite girl to scream from diving towards the water to fast for her taste.
"What the hell are you doing! Are you crazy!? Pull up! Pull up!" Naruto didn't pay her any mind though as he kept his decent towards the water, the last few bullhead's following right behind him. Naruto waited, and ignored Blake's screaming, until the last possibly moment, and ripped the steering stick towards him, which caused the thrusters to spin around, and hit the water that wasn't even forty feet away. Pushing the stick forward lightly, Naruto took off again, right above the water, and watched a small T.V that was connected to a camera on the back end of the ship, as two of four of the pursuing bullhead's hit the water, only to float right back up. Pulling on a lever, the thrusters of the ship started to spew out more flame, which caused Naruto to grin. Pulling back up on the steering stick, Naruto started to ascend, not even caring for the bullets that were hitting his ship. He had a plan, it was reckless, it was dangerous, and most of all, it was probably the stupidest idea he'd ever have, but if it worked, which hopefully it did, Naruto wouldn't have to worry about anymore pursuers.
Naruto allowed the bullhead to keep ascending, and after making sure he was still being followed, looked over to Blake and smiled, a smile that she did not like whatsoever. Tightening her seat-belts and harness, Blake braced herself for Naruto's horrible flying, and held on for dear life.
"N-Nato.. What are you doing?" Naruto kept the bullhead completely vertical with the ground, and just kept going up and up, scaring Blake, who just wanted to know what was happening. Naruto frowned, hoping has plan was going to work, but with just enough chakra to hold his jutsu for a few seconds at most, Naruto knew this would either work exceptionally well, or fail horribly. There'd be no in between on it.
"Kitten… We're going to fly up into the atmosphere, and stall the engines…" Blake wanted to scream at him, curse his name, and hit him, but before she had a chance to talk, Naruto cut her off. "…and then we're going to crash into the ocean, but if I execute my plan correctly, we'll be fine and won't even have a scratch on us… if not… we're dead." Blake just sat there, mouth agape as she tried to process what Naruto was saying, but her mind kept drawing up a blank, she doing the only thing she could, Blake held on for dear life. Naruto smirked as he started to amass as much chakra as he could, safely, and kept on flying up, both, and the last, bullhead's following him.
The windows started to ice, quickly, and both Naruto and Blake's breath was visible as they breathed, but Naruto didn't pay that any mind as he kept flying up, his mind racing with thoughts. Just when it seemed like it was getting to cold, the bullhead jerked roughly, and Naruto could only send Blake a cheeky grin as the engine's stalled, and they started to fall. Flipping every switch that he could, Naruto turned the bullhead off, and simply sat back, and watched as they fell. They were really high up, and Naruto wasn't even worried as they grew closer to the clouds, but Blake's screaming was really annoying him. Deciding on if he should just knock her out, Naruto thought against it, and got ready. The second he hit the clouds, Naruto started to flick every switch he could, and then grabbed on to a lever. Pulling on it, Naruto prayed to whatever god was out there to have mercy on him, and to start the bullhead with the emergency thrusters and back up power. Pumping it a few times, Naruto didn't stop, needing the power to kick in, and after a few more pumps, the bullhead roared to life on it's back up power, but that was only half of the plan.
The bullhead was still packed with dust, meaning they wouldn't be able to stop in time even if they tried, and they were going to crash. Naruto wasn't worried though as he placed his left hand on the metal interior of the bullhead, and watched as the baby blue water kept getting closer and closer.
"We're going to die! We're going to die! Nato! We're going to die!" Naruto paid Blake no mind as the water was getting closer and closer, while the thrusters were doing everything they could to slow down the descent into the water. It was working, and the bullhead was slowing down, but not fast enough for it to clear the water. Blake looked over at Naruto like he was crazy, but when she saw the calm look on his face, she had to ask herself, how crazy was her partner?
"Kitten… hold on, I got this!" The grin on Naruto's 'scarred face was gleaming with confidence, but even then, Blake was breathing heavily, and praying to the mighty Oum that she'd live. The water was coming closer and closer, and even though the Naruto said he had it, Blake was seriously doubting the sanity of her partner. Naruto looked down at the small T.V that showed behind them, and saw that the pursuing bullheads had no choice but to pull there parachutes out, meaning if Naruto's plan worked without a hitch, he'd be able to get away.
"Kitten… this is going to sound weird, but you need to sit in my lap." Blake snapped her head over to Naruto, and was about to yell at him for how stupid he sounded, but seeing the dead serious look on his face, Blake was quite as she let Naruto explain.
"If my plan works, I'm going to be in a lot of pain, and my bodies going to lock up from over using my powers. We need someone to fly, so I need you to come over here and fly." Blake hesitated for a second, but unbuckled herself and slid over from her seat, into Naruto's and sat in between his lap.
"Undo my harness, and buckle us both down." Blake turned around and un-clicked the seat-belt lock over Naruto's chest that was holding him down, and leaned into his body, and threw the harness over both of there bodies, and waited. The water was dangerously close, and even though they had slowed down exponentially, they were still falling.
"Brace yourself kitten! Here we go!" Blake shut her eyes, the water was dangerously close, and all she could do was pray at the moment, but as her eyes stayed close, she never felt the ship jerk, she never felt her body get throw forward, or anything. Slowly opening her eyes, Blake's mouth dropped as she saw that they were underwater at the moment, but the ship was still using it's thrusters.
"W-What?" Blake turned around to Naruto, and her eyes widened as she saw blood falling from his eye again, his body was swaying slightly, and he looked like he was going to pass out, but even then, Naruto kept on going. Blake looked towards Naruto's arm, and she realized what he had done.
"Y-You're doing the same thing you did to my weapon right? You've sent us to that place.. Even though we're still here…" Naruto nodded, his breathing was labored, and he was using every bit of chakra he could to keep the entire ship in his dimension, and allowing the thrusters to use the air in his dimension to lift them back up and out of the water, but using the incomplete Susano'o when his body wasn't ready, a few jutsu, the continuous use of the kamui, and now the kamui on his ship, was really hurting his body and all he wanted to do was sleep.
Even though it was just seconds, it felt like hours for Naruto as he kept his arm on the ships metal interior, and kept the ship and everything in it in his dimension, but as quick as it happened, they were slowly lifting out of the water, and when they had completely cleared it, Naruto dropped his arm from the ship, and slumped forward, his head resting into Blake neck and shoulder, while his arms dropped, allowing Blake to take control of the ship. Blake grabbed the steering stick with one hand, while taking off the glasses and face mask she had been wearing, and looked towards Naruto. Naruto rolled his head over slightly on Blake's and sent her a grin.
"I… I told you… kitten.. Have.. Faith.. In me." Lifting his hand slightly, Naruto gave Blake the peace sign, then slumped forward as all his exhaustion caught up with him. Blake could only shake her head, and look forward as Naruto rested his head on her shoulder, and slight smile on her face at her crazy teammate.
Naruto groaned, he wasn't tired mentally, but physically, but even then, Naruto was proud of himself, this mission was a success, and all the two criminals had to do was bring the bullhead back to base. Hopefully, this would convince Adam that he was a valuable asset, so Naruto could secretly spy on the White Fang. Naruto, unconsciously snuggled into Blake's shoulder even more, her shoulder being surprisingly comfortable.
'I can't tell if he's a genius… or just bat shit insane..' Blake wasn't sure, but all the idea's Naruto had come up with in there three days of being partners were either genius, or borderline crazy, but either way, they were alive, and that's all that mattered to Blake. They had about a ten minute flight left, and Blake was okay with letting Naruto rest as she flew.
Blake wouldn't admit it… but working with Naruto was.. Different, and she kind of liked it. It was fun, and he wasn't so serious the entire time, he had just sat there at one point, and balanced a pencil on his nose for almost two hours. Adam would have never done that… he'd be serious, and wouldn't allowed Blake a chance to enjoy herself.
'Ugh.. Don't compare them Blake… Nato's the enemy.. I need to find out his real motives… right?' Blake wasn't sure, and now she was starting to doubt herself, and what she needed to do. She had originally planned to find out Nato's true motives… but, did it really matter to her? Blake sighed in frustration, her heart and mind each coming up with different answers.
'Three days with him… and I don't even know what I want to do with my life anymore… and am now doubting the White Fang.. Damn it.' Blake sighed to herself and just focused on flying. Before she could do anymore, the bullhead jerked lightly, and the front of the ship started to smoke. Moving the steering stick around, Blake cussed as it didn't respond, and only one thing came to mind… they were going to crash.
"How far…. Are we.. From base?" Blake turned her head slightly to look at Naruto, and frowned. "About five minutes, we're on a straight line for base." Naruto nodded and wrapped his arms around Blake's waist, still struggling to breathe, but he didn't pay were any mind.
"Right before… we crash… let me.. Know, and make sure.. You pull the.. Parachute." Blake already knew what he was going to do, and nodded as she turned back around, and looked out the window, and just waited until they were close to the ground to let Naruto know. With a smoke cloud rising in the air, Blake spotted base, which was nothing more then tents in the forest with an underground bunker for the higher up members, because the lesser grunts just lived with society. Blake furrowed her eyebrows together, trying to judge if they'd hit camp, or come up right before it.
Placing her hand on the smaller lever that released the parachute, Blake started to count down for both herself, and Naruto before they hit the ground, where she'd then pull the parachute.
"5… 4… 3… 2… 1… now!" Blake pulled the parachute, and the ship jerked, but before anything else could happen, Naruto pushed chakra into his eye, and sent both himself and Blake into his dimension and waited. Blake watched and waited as the ship started to slow down, but up ahead, Blake could see a figure standing in the clearing, but her eyes widened as she saw Adam standing there, hand on his sword like he was about to cut the plane in two.
"Come on.. Come on.. Stop you stupid bullhead!" Blake saw that Adam was getting ready, as they were on a beeline for the base, and would run it over if they didn't stop. Naruto went slack, and Blake turned around to see his sleeping face, and frowned as she reached over and grabbed his orange mask. He had a reason for wearing it, so Blake wasn't going to let him be seen without it on it he didn't want to be seen.
"I… can't… move.. Kitten." Blake shushed Naruto, and looked back at Adam as he got ready to attack, but before he had the chance to, the bullhead started to slow down, and right before it hit Adam, the bullhead stopped completely, being mere centimeters between Adam. Blake laughed… they had done it.. They had gone on what could have possibly been a suicide mission if it wasn't for Naruto being there, and against all odd's, they had returned with the shipment in tact.
Unbuckling herself and Naruto, Blake stood up and threw Naruto arm over her shoulder, and allowed him the chance to lean on her for support. Dragging Naruto with her slowly, Blake started to stumble around, her adrenaline having ran out, and she could feel a few spots on her body that had been hit my dust bullets.
"Come on Nato… We… You did it.." Naruto nodded his head slightly, and allowed Blake to drag him across the loading haul of the bullhead. Hitting the small button the opened the loading ramp, Blake lost her footing slightly as the ramp started to come down, which sent her and her partner stumbling down, and sliding down the ramp, where they then landed at the bottom, both looking up.
"So.. You actually did it. I thought you were going to die honestly.." Both Blake and Naruto looked up towards, Adam, with one taking on a hurt expression from his sentence, while the other one narrowed there eyes at the man
"I got the… dust like… you said… so I'm in right?" Adam started to inspect the crates of dust, and waited a few minutes to answer Naruto, but when he did, Naruto could only grin. His mission had been successful, against all odds, even Adam's, Naruto had flown to Atlas, stolen some documents from the Schnee dust company, literally walked onto the ship he was stealing with Blake, stole the ship, and took down a horde of bullhead's while making a get away, all the while keeping himself and Blake safe.
"Yes… welcome to the White Fang… Nato."
