Hello ladies and gentlaman, it is I, TSF, here with chapter seven of Vulpine Sancto. A few things go on in this chapter, and you'll all probably have questions, but, they'll be answered soon enough.
Also, I started a poll that's on my page that i'd like you all to vote on. Would you like for this to be a Naruto x Blake pairing only, or a Naruto x Blake x Pyrrha pairing? Which, is the only pairings I'll do. I won't add another girl because I hate harems, and think two is the only manageable number that can be used. So please, go vote, and i'll keep the poll open until I get to Naruto joining beacon, which should hopefully be around chapter twenty, giving it enough time for people to decide.
Until next time, Stay Golden Ponyboy, and leave a review down below as it's your reviews that give me the motivation to get my chapters out about every four days.
...ooOoo...
The pain, it was to much, and Naruto had realized, he needed to train his body to accept Susano'o. Bringing his hand over, Naruto crushed the alarm clock that was blaring right in his ear. It was the day after Naruto's successful infiltration into the White Fang, and Naruto's body hurt like hell. He had to get up, as it was Tuesday and he had to open store, something he didn't even want to do, but being a store owner Naruto knew he had to be responsible, so with a sigh, Naruto dragged a hand down his face and sat up.
Cracking the bones in his back, Naruto swung his legs over the side of his bed and stood up with a yawn. Looking over to the clock on his wall, as he kept going through alarm clocks, Naruto noted that it was 10 o'clock, meaning he had plenty of time to eat, and get dressed. Making a shadow clone, Naruto ordered it to start some ramen, while Naruto himself got dressed. Walking over to his armoire, Naruto grabbed his burnt orange undershirt, beige jacket with black accents, and slim fitting black jeans. Putting everything on, Naruto added his hidden kunai mechanism onto his right leg, then his hidden kunai mechanism to his right arm. Once that was all done and Naruto was dressed, Naruto grabbed his goggles, but didn't put them on, and grabbed his staff that broke down into four pieces, and placed it on his backside in between his pants and shirt, and simply waited.
Over the three days he had been gone, the clones had helped all of Naruto's tenants move out, leaving eight of the nine rooms on his floor empty. Quickly getting to work, Naruto's clones were able to completely gut two of the rooms leaving nothing in them, not even the walls, but the other eight rooms he was going to start on today, and hopefully have the entire up stairs, besides his room, completely gutted. He was going to spam the hell out of the upstairs with clones, and have them get to work, while he had other clones start watching videos on carpentry, how to paint, how to do dry wall, and everything else he could possibly need. All in all, Naruto expected the entire ordeal to take about two months time, as he was going to have clones working on the side project 24/7 until it was complete. Which reminded him, Naruto was going to go out and get the best computer he could with the most up-to-date software there was, even if that meant going back to Atlas to steal it from the military. His lair, after all, was going to be called the Nato Cave.
Hearing the ringing of his microwave go off, Naruto went and grabbed his ramen, and a fork, since apparently they didn't have chopsticks in Remnant, and started to chow down on his food. While he was doing so, Naruto made a few clones with the objective to kamui to outside of the kingdom to there secret training ground and work on there medical ninjutsu, elemental ninjutsu, the Sharingan, and the Susano'o first stage of four ribs until there body felt perfectly fine. Taking a moment to catch his breathe, as Naruto loaded up the clones that were working on the Susano'o, Naruto finished off his cup of ramen and looked towards his clock, it was ten thirty already. Deciding to head down stairs, Naruto phased into his store threw the back wall, and looked around, making sure the store was clean, and took a seat at the front desk and pulled out his pipe, as he didn't care about those laws that said no smoking indoors, and started to puff away on it as he turned on some music that played through the store.
Naruto was in kind of a dilemma at the moment, as he realized he needed an outside source to feed him information, meaning he needed to find someone and possibly start his own spy network. Starting his own spy network wouldn't be a problem, as Jiraiya had trained Naruto how to run one so he could take over Jiraiya's spy network encase Jiraiya ever died, which he did two years later. The problem was finding a source he could trust to feed him information regularly, that wouldn't double cross him, which meant Naruto was going to have to buy someone, not a slave, but someone that'd work for him for the right amount of money. Find the first person, and the first person will find the second, that was what Jiraiya had told him.
But Naruto didn't know where exactly to start, as Jiraiya had told him a different number of places that'd most likely have spies for hire. Brothels, bars, strip clubs' just among the few, and it was all about staking the place out, and looking for anyone that seemed to be partaking in criminal activities, and buying them for the right amount of money. The only places he had seen in Remnant, were lower end bars in what could only be considered the red light district, or the Vale Ghetto, as Naruto hadn't seen a brothel once, and the only strip club he had seen was on the richer side of town, who wouldn't dare do anything in fear of angering the police. Naruto sighed, realizing later in the night he would have to go and find a bar in the red light district, scope out a number of people that looked like valuable assets, and start paying someone off.
Naruto wanted to know more then what the White Fang was doing, no, he wanted to know what every criminal, every mob boss, and what every low life thug was doing in Vale, and starting a spy network, and possibly taking over a higher up gang and controlling everything in the shadows was pretty much what Naruto needed to do. If he could successfully start taking over gangs, one by one the crime rate would start to go down until Naruto had every single mob boss and gangster under his beck and call, where'd he'd then be able to make them listen to him by teaching them fear, so no one would ever try to double cross him, and Naruto could stop crime all together. Not only that, Naruto, encase he ever truly needed it, would have an entire army under his command, and with his money at the moment, and skills, Naruto could go to war if he needed to. Not that he would, over throwing governments wasn't his forte, nor did he actually want an army under his command, but stopping crime by making all the gangsters and mob bosses fearing him would be nice.
Naruto sighed, realizing how long something like that would take, but with his mind made up, Naruto placed his tobacco pipe in his pocket, and clicked a small brown button under his desk that unlocked the doors, as it was now eleven o'clock, which was the stores opening time. Yay.
…ooOoo…
Naruto sighed as he looked around the red light district he was in, and one word came to mind. Poor. This place was worst then the red light district back home, and back home, where his apartment was, was not a good place to be. Naruto had to hold himself back from killing two men he found trying to rape a defenseless girl that looked to be no older then 14 or 15, and after quickly beating the two men senseless, and taking the girl home, Naruto continued on with his way, trying to find the perfect bar to go to, and at the moment, even though he didn't like it, Naruto was wearing his high end suit with the top hat, and had his cane in his hand.
Making these contacts, no one was going to know who he was, so Naruto had changed his look again, and only saw it fitting to honor his late master Jiraiya. Naruto used the henge to turn into a physical transformation of his master, and even had the red lines running down his face. Instead of using the long white hair his godfather had when he was older, Naruto had his shoulder length white hair from when Jiraiya was about his age. All in all, Naruto was ready for to start his network.
The first few bars had been a bust, and only had low life thugs that wanted to be gangsters in them, and even holding back with a henge on, Naruto was able to take out an entire bar by using nothing but his cane, something Naruto was thinking about turning into his weapon as it was surprisingly easy to use. A cane type weapon would be something no one thought of using, as hey, what could a cane really do, but now Naruto had idea's.
That was only one of the four bar's he had been two, one of which he fought everyone inside, the other he had destroyed after finding out the bar was actually a secret hideout for human trafficking and where people would go to bid on another human. The other two, one just had no one that caught his eye, while the last one was just a plain old bar.
Hopefully, this bar would be the right one. Walking inside, Naruto noted that there was allot of people around, music was raving, a man wearing a teddy bear head was acting as the D.J, and all around people seemed to have a good time. To the left of the door, being what Naruto guessed were to be body guards, judging from there looks, were two girls who were just standing there and looked over the club. One was wearing an all red dress with long blades connected to her hand, while the other girl was wearing an all white dress, with what looked to be blades on her high heels. Contemplating on if he should go over and talk to the two, Naruto decided it would be better to just go sit down, order a drink, and observe the crowd.
With his mind made up, Naruto walked by the two twins, as that's what Naruto thought they were, and walked around the dancing crowd of people, and arrived at the counter where all drinks were being sold. A man stood behind the counter wiping down glasses, but when he saw Naruto, he walked over. The man had short black hair, black eyes, and a black beard/mustache. His clothing was nothing but a vest over a white dress shirt with a red tie, and dress pants.
"Welcome to Junior's club, I'm Junior, what can I get for you?" Naruto looked down at all the drinks that were up for offer, and skimmed through the entire menu in a few seconds, and turned back to Junior. Naruto could honestly say, he now knew why Tsunade drunk so much, as it did help with the pain of losing loved ones, and now that Kurama wasn't in him, Naruto could drink as much as he wanted, and get as wasted as he wanted. But, since he was here for official business, Naruto just got what looked good.
"Martini, shaken, not stirred.. Oh, with three olives instead of two." Junior nodded and turned around, getting everything ready to make Naruto his drink, while Naruto simply sat back and waited. He was going to get his drink, and go sit at a booth were he'd observe Junior, as he now knew Junior was the owner of the place. Waiting a few seconds, Junior turned back around and handed Naruto his drink, who paid the man, then walked off.
Finding a small booth near the end of the bar, Naruto sat down with his back towards the wall, and simply started to observe Junior, to see what he did and to see if any criminals came in, or if it looked like Junior was doing anything illegal. Taking a sip from his Martini, Naruto chuckled as it burned his throat, and washed away his pain from the war for a slight second, making him want more. Deciding now wasn't the time to get drunk, Naruto slowly sipped on the drink, and waited.
"Hello. Mind If I I join you?" Naruto raised an eyebrow as he looked up and spotted a man sitting down. The man had tousled silver hair, was wearing dark spectacles, a green scarf with a cross on it, a black jacket, a green vest, and green pants while a cane was in his hand.
"Uhm… sure, I don't mind." The man nodded as he looked through a menu, and called a random person over to take his order, after that was done, the man turned back to Naruto, crossed his legs, and looked Naruto right in the eye while leaning forward slightly.
"You have… Red eyes." Naruto raised an eyebrow at that, but shrugged his shoulders as he took a sip from his martini, while also surveying Junior and seeing what he was doing. With this new man though, Naruto wasn't sure how he felt about him, something about the man seemed familiar, like they had met before, but at the same time, it was like they were just meeting.
"Uh, yes, I have red eyes… Is there a reason you decided to join me for a drink?" The man simply shrugged his shoulders, and Naruto decided he liked the silence more as he looked over at Junior. A waitress came up and handed the silver haired man his drink. With a thank you, the man took a sip, and turned back to Naruto.
"So tell me… Mr. Uzumaki, what brings you to this side of town?" Naruto stiffened in his spot, and slowly turned towards the newcomer, shocked he knew his name, even under his henge, which meant the man knew he was under something to change his looks.
"H-how did you?.." The man simply took a drink of his drink, which was a glass of water, and smirked. "I know many things about this world, somethings I know about are so ridiculous, that people have no choice but to shrug them off as myth and legend. I have been observing you for quite a while now, Mr. Uzumaki. You… interest me. I have seen you disappear in a swirling vortex, I have seen you take down an entire building using a piece of paper, and have even seen you change your appearance to many different things. I was… interested to say to least." Naruto's eyes widened as he finally made the connection.. The man in front of him was the person that had been watching him, but every time he realized, the man was already gone.
"So I see you've realized. Yes, it was I that was watching you, Naruto Uzumaki. I allowed myself to be seen every once in a while, but please, do you honestly think I wouldn't take an interest in a man who appeared out of no where falling from the sky." Naruto stared at the man hard, while grabbing his cane just encase he needed to do something.
"What do you want? Who are you?" The man smirked as he took a sip from his water, and looked Naruto in the eye, who was contemplating on attacking the man, or running. The man knew way to much, and if he was a threat, he was going down.
"Before I answer your questions, let me ask a few of my own. What are you goals? What is it you want here in Remnant?" Naruto narrowed his eyes at the man, but frowned on the inside, this man, whoever he was, definitely knew way to much for Naruto's liking.
"To protect the world, that is all. I don't have any ulterior motives, I don't want world domination, I don't want people to view me as a god, none of that. I just want to protect the world from the shadows." The man nodded, and at the same time made his decision.
"And your reasons for joining the White Fang?" Naruto wasn't surprised the man knew that, as he appeared to know allot, so deciding to see what this man wanted, Naruto answered him. "To take down the leaders, and return it to its former glory of 'peace through equality'. I'm not doing what I do for the glory, hell, I hide my face so no one knows what I'm doing. If you know I'm in the White Fang, then you know I'm Nato Namikaze. I'll bare the feeling of pain through my other side if that means taking down those that disrupt the peace." Nodding to himself, the elder looking man cleared his throat.
"Surely you understand, you'd have to kill the leaders to return the White Fang to it's former glory. So tell me, what is your stance on killing. Will you kill, if that means bringing about a greater peace?" Naruto hesitated for a second, something the elder man caught, but the elder man waited a few seconds, to let Naruto think.
"I… don't like killing. I despise killing, I'm not god, I don't think I should be able to choose who lives and who dies." The silver haired man hummed for a few seconds, and closed his eyes as he thought. "Would you kill though? If that meant bringing about peace? If a single enemy stood before you, more powerful then you could imagine, more powerful then you ever thought possible, stood before you, and the only way to achieve the peace that your yearning for was by killing him, would, or could, you do it? Man seeks peace, yet at the same time yearning for war... Those are the two realms belonging solely to man. Thinking of peace whilst spilling blood is something that only humans could do. They're two sides of the same coin... to protect something... another must be sacrificed. Will you sacrifice your views for the greater good if need be?" Naruto furrowed his eyebrows together, thinking about what the man said, but before he could say anymore, the man kept on talking.
"You wish to take down the leaders of the White Fang, which means you'd have to kill them? What then? Will you get all the way there, and hesitate. No matter what way you plan on doing things, you'll need to kill them, and they'll die.. By your hands." Naruto knew that, but even then, he didn't want to be the reason someone died. His plan was originally going to be sticking them in his dimension, and let them starve to death, so he was only indirectly killing them. But this man, whoever it was, was making him rethink everything he had been planning.
"I.. Was going to capture them, and let them starve to death so I was indirectly killing them.." The man nodded, and took another drink of his water as Naruto took a sip of his martini. "So… you lack what it takes to kill, you're weak." Naruto glared at the man as he gripped his cane, and was about to say something, but the man silenced him. "What is the point of trying, if you won't stop those in the end. You sit here and tell me you want peace, but you're to weak to do something about it. People, no matter how much good they have in them, will always have darkness, but what truly separates man from one another, is about who embraces the darkness and walks it's path, and who embraces the light and walks its path. I have darkness within me, you have darkness within you, the world has darkness within its self, but its people like me, people like you, that need to embrace the darkness, to walk in the shadows, so people like those on the dance floor don't need to. Let me ask you something, if you were given a choice to kill an innocent little girl, or a mob boss, who would you kill?" Naruto didn't let his glare drop, but answered the man.
"The mob boss so the girl could live." Seeing the nod come from the man, Naruto realized where he was going with the conversation. "So, you'd kill the mob boss. Now let me ask you this, if a mob boss was holding a little girl hostage, would you kill him? Or would you go all that way, just to let the girl die because you were to weak to kill the man." Naruto opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but shut it as he realized the man was right. Flashes of his life replayed through his head on how many times he had gotten lucky no one died because of his unwillingness to kill. He was to scared to kill Haku, which almost resulted in his sensei dying by Zabuza. He was to scared to kill Sasuke, which let the Sharingan walk right into Orochimaru's grasp, and so much more. But even then, Naruto didn't like killing, and had only ever killed one person by accident, which was the guard in Suna under Sasori's command.
"I'd… kill him." Seeing the slightly approving look on the mans face, Naruto raised an eyebrow. "You see what I'm getting at now. Sometimes, people need to die for the betterment of the human/faunus race. Sometimes, people are truly evil, and will not change their view on life, and completely submerge themselves in darkness, and become a threat to the human/faunus race. But, a small line of people, in between the darkness and the light, in the graying area of the world protect it, and that is why I'm here." Naruto sat up straight, and listened to the man.
"My name is Ozpin, and I'm the Headmaster at Beacon academy, but that is just my cover story. I'm actually part of a group of people's who sole mission is to protect the world. People such as James Ironwood, Headmaster and Leader of Atlas' Academy and Military, Qrow Branwen, a powerful man in his own right, and Glynda Goodwitch, are just among those people, and I have come here to invite you to join us." Naruto's mouth dropped, as he couldn't believe what he was hearing, but one thing did come to mind, and he needed to know.
"How do you know how powerful I am?" Naruto wasn't sure why, but this man, Ozpin, now had his attention entirely, and he wanted to know a few things. "Well.. It's not everyday a giant funnel cloud opens up over Vale, only for it to spit out a young man. You were like a beacon a few weeks ago, and I think allot of people tried to search for you, both good and bad, but you had disappeared. My first clue of who you were, was when you fought one of my colleagues, Peter Port." Naruto held up a hand, not remembering that.
"Hold on, Peter Port? I never fought him." Naruto tried to think back, but he couldn't remember fighting a man with the name of Peter Port. "Actually, Naruto, you did. A few weeks back when you… destroyed the Vale Government officials office, you and a woman by the name of Kuromi, I believe, were almost arrested for trying to hi-jack a train, when you were followed by a group of huntsman, one of those huntsman was Peter Port. He's a big man, has silver hair, and has a handlebar mustache, wields an axe that doubles as a rifle." Naruto's eyes widened as he remembered, the man with the handlebar mustache was the man he fought for a few seconds, then blew up part of the building on.
"Yes, I see you remember. When Peter reported the incident to me, I grew curios, and searched you out, as other people are at the moment, and I came across you by chance. An informant of mine told me a man named Nato Namikaze had been arrested, and I was quick to connect the dots, as I was the one to help you get away with the fake I.D's." Seeing Naruto narrow his eyes, Ozpin explained.
"You blew up the building, trying to cover your tracks, but when you made the fake I.D's for yourself, Nato, and Sun Tukim, the information was uploaded to a greater server, and I was contacted by James Ironwood. I asked him to hold onto the information, but to not say anything, so I could search you out. When you were arrested a few weeks ago under the alias of Nato Namikaze, I was informed, and even though I believed you could escape, I helped you escape from the V.P.D by making it easier for you, so I could follow you home, and see where you lived. I did exactly that, and watched you for a while. I saw you making those papers that were used to blow up buildings, I followed you, and watched you take down over forty members of the White Fang, and I even watched you on the news as you stole a shipment of Dust and took down a horde of bullhead, created an avatar I have never seen before, and just before you took down the bullhead that was recording it, I watched as he crashed into the ocean, just to get away. That's when I decided to search you out, and that's when I found you here." Naruto's mouth was wide open, as he couldn't believe it. He had been found out, but not only that, Ozpin, the man in front of him, had helped him out with a few things, and if he wanted to, could ruin Naruto's entire life, and release to the public that Naruto was Nato. It could completely screw his life up, and he'd be forced to go on the run, without the chance to join Beacon and become a huntsman, Ozpin literally had Naruto backed into a corner at the moment, with no chance of escape.
"What do you want Ozpin?" Ozpin simply hid his mouth behind his hands as he leaned forward, a smirk on his face. His plan was working perfectly, and Naruto was falling right into his grasp.
"As I said, Naruto, I want you to join us. To walk the path in between the light and the darkness, to help this world maintain peace. We don't do it for the glory, we don't do it for the fame, we do it to help others. That's why we work in the shadows, meet behind closed doors, and I've put some thought into it, I want you to join us. You're powerful, and have already infiltrated the White Fang, something we need. You'll be our inside source, you'll report to us what you find, and anytime we have a meeting, you'll be there, finding out what we find out, and anytime a member is sent on a mission, if need be, you'll be sent to." Naruto furrowed his eyebrows in concentration. Looking for the pro's and con's of joining them, but decided it'd be best to join them.
"Fine, I'll do it, I'll join you." Ozpin nodded, a small smile gracing his face as he leaned back, but knew what he was about to say, might piss Naruto off. "If so, then there's something I need you to do for us. You're apart of the White Fang, and are trying to kill the main members, but I need to ask you to not do that." Seeing Naruto's eyes widen, Ozpin continued.
"The White Fang has partnered with a woman by the name of Cinder Fall, who holds half of the Fall Maidens power, but we believe she's working for someone else, who? We're not sure, and we need to find out. If you start killing off members, we might lose our chance to see who's really running the shots, and the world could very well end." Naruto didn't like it, hell, he hated it, but he understood why, and nodded his head.
"Wait? Did you say fall maiden? I thought the maiden's were just a myth.. A made up story." Seeing Ozpin shake his head, Naruto grinned, happy at the prospect of fighting a maiden in the future if he could. "If you know about the myth, then you know what happens in the story, and how the maiden's get there powers. The Maidens are real, Fall, Summer, Winter, and Spring, the myth isn't a myth, but a story from long ago. We, us protectors and guardians, have hidden away the maidens, there power was wanted, and we had no choice. A woman by the name of Cinder Fall has acquired half of the power of the fall maiden, and we believe sometime in the distance future, she will come back for the rest. I'd say kill her, but we need to find out who she's working for. We also believe, she, Cinder, is searching you out." Naruto raised both of his eyebrows, prompting Ozpin to explain.
"Cinder is a dangerous, but smart woman, and no doubt knows about you. We got word that she's here, in Vale, searching for Nato Namikaze. We believe someone tipped her off about you, and now she wants your power for her own, and plans to ask you to join her." Naruto frowned, and Ozpin seeing this, gravely nodded.
"You mustn't join her, and we ask you keep away from her. We will find out her true intentions, but we can't take a chance of you being found out, Naruto, not Nato, and her deciding to go to war early while were still planning. We need to find out who she's working for, and if you're found out, she might change everything, and the stuff we've learned of her might change, and we'll be back to root one." Nodding to the man, Ozpin stood up and fixed his jacket, which caused Naruto to realize every single person in the dance club had stopped moving, even the music itself stopped while the DJ was frozen with his arm in the air, causing Naruto's eyes to widen.
"Here is my card, Naruto. I have already acquired your number, and I will be in contact." Naruto grabbed the card, and sealed it away, not caring if Ozpin saw since he seemed to know things. Ozpin walked off, and that's when Naruto realized the man had left his cane. Grabbing it, Naruto went to turn around, when everyone started to dance again, and Ozpin was gone. Looking down at the cane, Naruto whistled in appreciation, and sealed his own away, to use it. It reached right up to Naruto's hip, had a burnt orange based shaft with a wooden handle that had a lever attached to it, while on the top it had a carving of Naruto's… Mangekyou Sharingan on it. Naruto's eyes widened as replayed what Ozpin said.
'You have… Red eyes.' Naruto's eyes weren't red… they were black since he was henged as Jiraiya, meaning Ozpin literally saw right through his henge, something that should have been impossible. Naruto smirked as he looked down at the cane, probably made for him by Ozpin, and realized, Ozpin just made his life even more interesting. Deciding to get back to watching Junior, Naruto got exactly what he wanted as he saw a criminal by the name of Roman Torchwick hand Junior a briefcase, probably full of Lien, and walk away with a few men all wearing the same suits as Junior. Deciding he had seen what he needed, Naruto finished off his martini, and walked over to Junior. Tapping him on the shoulder to get his attention, Junior turned to Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"How would you like to make 200,000 lien up front, with an additional 5,000 lien a month." Naruto now had Juniors full attention, as he saw the man look at him completely. Naruto was going to join Ozpin, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to continue with his own plans. He, even though it sucked, wouldn't kill any members of the White Fang, but he was still going to stay a member since he had just joined, and try to control the collateral damage. Naruto was still going to start his own spy network, and Junior seemed like the perfect guy to go to. Now that he had Junior's attention, Naruto grinned slightly.
"How about we go somewhere more quietly to talk." Naruto nodded to the man, and followed him up a flight of stairs into a back area that had nothing but a few chairs and a table, most likely used for privacy. Sitting down, while secretly unsealing a briefcase full of Lien he had filled, Naruto got right to business.
"Here's the thing Junior, I want to start my own spy network, meaning I need people to feed me information regularly, but I also need someone who won't double-cross me, and you seem like the perfect person for the job. I'm willing to give you, up front, 200,000 lien, if you become my spy, and secretly work for me." Junior tried to play it cool, but he wasn't a trained assassin, so Naruto could practically see his eyes turn into money signs at the prospect of so much cash.
"What exactly is it you need? Who are you?" Naruto smirked as he leaned back in his chair, his hands resting on his new cane, which was one of three weapons he now owned, the first being his gauntlets that were for Nato, the second being a staff which was for Naruto, and now the cane which would also be for Naruto, after he learned exactly what it did.
"It's simple really, I just need someone that will feed me information about what's going on around Vale. Who's doing what, who's hired who, that kind of thing. I want to, in a way, buy you and your men. If I need something done, they'll do it, and you keep getting money from me. You'll continue what your doing, but if someone comes to you, you come to me and tell me what they needed, and what they were planning to do. You continue doing what you're doing, running a bar, and all the other things, but you'll be employed to me, that's it." Junior furrowed his eyebrows together, and started to think. The money was good, no scratch that, the money was excellent, and he'd be a fool to turn down this chance at making so much, and he had no real reason to betray the man in front of him, as long as he kept giving him Lien.
"Why?" Naruto smirked as he leaned back, and closed his eyes. "I like to be… informed, you could say. But, I also have my own motives, and need to start gathering information, it really doesn't matter what type of information, but information nonetheless, but to do that, I need men. You're my first choice Junior, I saw Roman Torchwick talking to and paying you, meaning you must be worth something if he was borrowing your men. That'll be what you're doing, if someone like Roman comes to you for men, you'll accept, then tell me how many men he borrowed, how much he paid you, and what he was planning on doing. Don't worry, I don't want your money, if you can tell, I'm pretty well of my own. I'll continue to pay you, but all I want is your loyalty." Junior nodded, causing Naruto to grin, happy that his plans for Junior were now in motion.
"As long as I keep getting paid, you'll have my loyalty, and I'll keep you informed on everything I know, but in return, I also want your protection. You seem powerful, and with the business I run, there's people that want me dead. As long as you keep them away from me, we'll be good." Naruto nodded his head, that was acceptable, and Naruto had no problem protecting Junior, which didn't mean killing the mans enemies, just keeping them away while Junior was useful to Naruto.
"Do I tell my men and the twins about you? Or keep you a secret?" Naruto gave it a seconds worth of thought, then answered him. "Keep it a secret, don't let anyone know you work for me… but the twins?" Junior nodded as he stood up, and pushed the door opened and pointed to the two twins Naruto had seen when he walked in.
"They're good, and I think you should let them know about this little business operation of ours. There loyal to me, and won't say a thing. They're also good fighters, and if they know I'm working for you, they'll do whatever you ask, no questions asked." Naruto looked the two girls over, and nodded.
"Call them in, I'll talk to them." Junior nodded and left the room, leaving Naruto alone. Everything was working perfectly, and Naruto had successfully started his own spy network, gained his first loyal, but valuable pawn that'd feed him information, and if need be, stuff he'd tell Ozpin now that they were working together. Naruto smirked, he now had a connection in the criminal underground, and an unknowing connection in the White Fang, Blake if he could get her to trust him, and Hopefully Kuromi if he could talk to her. Looking back towards the door as it opened, Naruto saw both of the twins enter with Junior.
"Melanie, Militia, this is… uhh." Naruto smirked as he stood up and leaned on his cane. "Jiraiya Senju." Junior nodded as he turned back to the twins. "Twins, this is Jiraiya Senju, our new employer. He's pretty much buying our group, and as such, he'll be paying us to feed him information, while we'll also work as his own personal servants. If Jiraiya ever comes in here and asks you to do something, do it." Both the twins crossed there arms over there chest and turned to Naruto.
"Whatever/Whatever." Naruto raised his eyebrow at the way they talked in sync, but before he could say anything, both twins walked up to Naruto, and stood on each side of him, while Naruto placed the two of them in a genjutsu like he did with Junior.
"You know Melanie/Militia, he is cute." Naruto's eyebrow twitched at there synchronized talking, while he was glad he was under a genjutsu as both girls pressed there bodies against him, giving Naruto a feel of there chest that was pressed between his arm's, which giving him an atomic blush. If Jiraiya was here, which Naruto could almost hear the pervert yelling in his ear, he'd try seducing both the twins.
"Melanie/Militia I wouldn't mind doing what he asked us to would you?" Both girls shook there head as they looked up to Naruto, sending him a wink as he tried very hard to not let the inner pervert in himself come out, and join the dark side of pervertedness.
"I.. Uhh.. What… huh? Junior.. Help me." Raising an eyebrow at the stuttering mess of his new boss, Junior called the girls off of Naruto, while secretly amused that his new boss couldn't handle the twins synchronized seduction tactic that worked on a few people.
"Anyways, Melanie, Militia, remember, if Jiraiya ever comes in here, or calls you, do what he says." Both girls turned to Naruto, making eye contact, and slightly trailed there fingers up there stomach, over there chest, and then finished by placing there fingers in there mouths, and slightly swirling there tongue around it, making Naruto's nose bleed slightly, even though he was in a henge, which was seen by the twins.
"We'll do anything he says/ We'll do anything he says." Both girls turned around, and started to walk away, a sway in there hips which caused Naruto to start having dark thoughts of a three way with two hot twins, while Jiraiya's voice was whispering to Naruto, to ravage both the twins, and not turn down the chance at a three way with two sexy twins. Shaking his head, Naruto tried to clear his thoughts of the dark-side, and turned to Junior.
"In the briefcase is 200,000 Lien, and every first of the month, I'll bring you another 5,000 Lien. But, if I even think for a second you double crossed me, or you're thinking about it. I'll ruin you, got it?" Putting a bit of killer intent into his speech, Junior nodded frantically.
"Good, use the money for whatever you like, buy new clothes, get better henchmen, go out and buy a 200,000 Lien watch for all I care, just inform me regularly about what's going on. Here's my card to my scroll, add me, and just call me if there's anything worth reporting, do so, got it?" After getting a nod from Junior, Naruto started to walk away, but stopped as he remembered something.
"Oh.. New rules by the way. If I find out any of your men raped a female, I'll kill them. No selling drugs to children, cause if they do, I'll kill them. Tell them, no matter what the job is, no killing innocent people, or I'll kill them, and absolutely, under any circumstance, are they to help in kidnapping children. If someone comes by and gives them that job, you call me and I'll be here within the second. Got It?" After getting a nod from Junior, Naruto walked off slowly, and surveyed his new men. They looked like cannon fodder, and probably wouldn't be good for anything but low leveled grunts like themselves, but they'd make do. Naruto would need to see what the twins were capable of, if Junior said they were good, no point in holding them back when they could be of use. Walking out the club, after getting a sultry look from the twins, Naruto walked into an alley, dropped his henge, and placed a pair of glasses on his face, to hid his eyes, as his regular goggles wouldn't go with his suit. Naruto still kept his whisker marks covered with a henge, but Naruto still had one last thing to do before he called it a night, and that was make to call Blake. Disappearing in a swirling vortex, after making sure everyone was gone, Naruto arrived in his apartment.
Walking over to his armoire as he started to get undressed, Naruto grabbed a burnt orange shirt with a breast pocket, a pair of dark, denim jeans, a pair of socks. He still had plans to get Blake to open up to him, and He knew exactly how to do that. He had shattered her world, something that still pained him slightly, and Blake would now be looking for something new to piece her world back together, and Naruto was going to do it, by being her friend. Naruto had seen the type of person she really was, she cared about the faunus race, and deeply wanted peace, but, she wasn't as extreme as Adam or Kuromi, so Naruto had decided she wouldn't die, she would live as long as he could open her up to the truth of the world, and make her see that the future of the world wasn't just for faunus, but humans together, coinciding as one. She was a good girl, but was just misguided, and needed someone to guide her to a better future, and Naruto was going to be that guide. She was like him, a girl born to the horrors of the world, that was hated for something she had no control over, that just wanted to prove that she was capable, but to do so, she latched onto the first person she could, who was Adam.
Naruto had done the same thing, as Iruka was the first person to ever show him kindness, and the familiarity of a family, and what it was like to have a brother. Adam had probably done the same thing for Blake, but the only difference between Adam and Iruka was, Iruka was a good man, that walked the path of the light, while Adam was a horrible person that walked the path of the darkness. Naruto, as a kid, wasn't sure what would have happened if Iruka still showed him kindness, but was actually a bad man, he couldn't exactly say he wouldn't have become a bad person if Iruka was still willing to show him kindness. Blake needed someone in her life to guide her away from the path of misery, pain and suffering to the path of love, friendship, and happiness, and that's what Naruto planned to do. That didn't mean Naruto still wasn't going to get her to open up about the White Fang's true intentions, but he would still be her friend. With that in mind, Naruto grabbed his scroll, scrolled though his contacts, and found Blake's name, calling her, Naruto waited a few seconds for her to pick up.
"Hello? Nato? Is that you, why are you calling me?" Naruto smirked, as he knew it must have been weird for the girl because he was calling her.
"Hey kitten, what're you doing?" It was silent for a few seconds, almost like Blake wasn't sure to what was going on, but she answered.
"I'm… laying in my cot, getting ready for some sleep… why?"
"Well… I was calling to see what you were doing tomorrow, you know?
"Uhm… okay? Just the usual, nothing that important."
"That's great, hey look, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.. Just the two of us." Blake was quite for a few seconds, and Naruto knew she was either thinking 'What the hell?' or was just so confused by the question, she didn't know what to say.
"I'm… confused Nato.. What are you getting at? Are you asking me on a date? Because if so-'' Before Blake could say anything else, Naruto started to laugh and cut her off.
"No kitten, I'm not asking you on a date. I'm just trying to see if you wanted to hang out together, maybe go and get some lunch, take a walk around a park, and just get to know one another better." It was quite again for a few more seconds, and Naruto didn't say anything as Blake thought about it.
"But… why? What do you get out of taking me to lunch?'' Naruto raised an eyebrow, and even though she couldn't see it, shrugged her shoulders.
"Nothing, I just want to get to know you better, that's all. Is it so wrong for me to ask you to lunch? I mean, if you don't want to I perfectly understand, and all you have to do is say no, and I'll never ask again." it was quite again, and Naruto didn't know what to think. Of course, Naruto knew Blake would be confused by this, but still wanted to see what she'd say.
"Just to clarify, this is just you asking me to lunch because you want to get to know me better?" After getting a 'yep' from Naruto, Blake kept talking.
"Why.. Do you want to get to know me better?" This time it was Naruto's turn to be quite for a few seconds as he thought of something to say.
"Well, when we weren't working, It was fun being around you on the last mission, you seem like an interesting girl, and I just want to see how interesting you are. All I'm asking for Blake is for you to let me take you out to lunch, maybe a small walk around a park, and that's all. If you don't like it? Then we'll never do it again." Naruto knew it sounded lame, and if he was in Blake's shoes, he would have said no, but he was still hoping the girl would say yes.
"…. Fine. I'll give it a try, you can take me out to lunch tomorrow, and I'll have a small walk around a park with you, but that's it." Naruto grinned as he pumped his fist in the air, silently celebrating his small victory at his first step of getting Blake to open up.
"That's great! Uhm… where should I pick you up at? Or where should I meet you at?" Naruto frowned, as he didn't know how to drive. He had a car, which Tukson left him, but it currently had hole's all over it because Tukson had shown Naruto was a car was, but when Tukson turned it on, Naruto flipped out thinking something was happening, and threw some kunai at it, which resulted in a very pissed off Tukson.
"… There's a ramen shop called 'A Simple Wok' that has great tuna ramen. Meet me there tomorrow at 1, and we'll do this." Naruto grinned, Ramen, lunch with Blake, and getting her to open up, perfect afternoon.
"You got it kitten! I'll be there." After saying his goodbye's with Blake, Naruto hung up, and grinned to himself. Today had certainly been interesting. He had opened shop like usual, started his own spy network, joined a secret organization of guardians that protected the world with some powerful people in it, got Blake to agree to go to lunch him, and his clones had gutted all the rooms, as he had them working all day.
Yep, it was a good day, and Naruto couldn't wait to see what tomorrow had in store for him.
...ooOoo...
