SevenKings here with the sixth chapter. This one is not one of my best but it should suffice.
Another thing,I may have to change the rating soon to M to be safe. In the beginning of this story, I wrote that Danzo had managed to capture Naruto and strip him of everything before the death of his light nailing the coffin.
You're about to see the effects of Danzo's training had on Naruto and how he matured from an obnoxious brat to a teen who can switch mentalities faster than a pregnant woman with a bad case of mood swings.
Chapter 6: Ma Family Dispute
I was walking down a concrete road when I saw these 'things' coming straight for me. The eyes were glowing so brightly that I had to cover my own eyes. The 'thing' came to a screeching halt just right in front of me and from the ear; a man came out.
"What's a kid like you doing out on the road? You should be in school right now," The man kept babbling about other things while holding and trying dragging me to that 'thing'.
Such a pitiful civilian; thinking he can just pull me anywhere. I reverse-twist his arm and drag his body closer to my own before kicking him. Unfortunately, the kick brought the man into the path of a 'Thing', making the civilian fly straight into before coming back down hard.
The 'Thing' kept going and I ran away as well; as a shinobi, I couldn't be implicated in a death of a civilian. Later on, I found a store that sold TV's and on it was the story about a man who was run over by a 'car'.
Present Time
It was official; he hated trains with every inch of fiber in his body. It reminded Naruto too much of the room he was held before he joined ROOT of his violation. Naruto was wearing a sleeveless shirt that he 'liberated' from a thug along with his boots,and motorcycle along with a few pouches on his belt. He always wanted to drive one and after a few crashes or so managed to get the hang of it so he stopped by Tani-chan's place and parked...okay more like smashed it into the garage door. The incognito Fist looked at his partner in this mess.
Natsu Tanimoto decided to wear a short-sleeved white short with blue modified jeans that Naruto knew that allowed maximum flexibility and mobility. He had crossed his arms as he sat in a chair next to Naruto while scowling and keeping his head down.
The silence was stifling so Naruto decided to break the ice,"Sooooo, nice night isn't it?" His fellow blonde didn't even make a respond so Naruto decided to wave his hand of front of his partner,"Heloooo,anyone in there?"
Natsu Tanimoto didn't like his roommate at all; to him, Fenrir was nothing more than an idiot buffoon who never took anything seriously. He smacked Fenrir's out of his face,"Do me a favor and don't talk to me."
Naruto placed his hands behind his back,"But it's so boring,I need to do something or I'm going to go crazy."
The constant pressure of living with Fenrir finally got to Natsu,he snapped at his partner as he stood up,"I can't stand you anymore!"
Naruto them frowned,"And what's causing that?"
Natsu began to list off using his fingers,"Everything about you;from the carefree way you lived your life to your natural talents at fighting. You probably never even wear a mask in society at all.."
Natsu was grabbed by the throat and pushed into the opposite wall of the train. He tried to claw at the hand choking him and looked into Fenrir's eyes but that was a mistake. The man's eyes was so lifeless and so cold that Natsu could the temperature getting colder around him.
"I've never wear a mask before? Don't make me laugh, I know more about wearing a mask than you. What happened to make you think this way?"
And so Natsu told everything about his past,about his sister who died despite everything he did and how he suffered betrayal at the hands of his adopted father's employees. He told it all thinking that there was no way that Fenrir's life was anywhere near as bad as his own. He was shocked that Fenrir started to laugh coldly,"That's it? That's what cause you to deny the world."
Natsu fired back,"And what do you know about loss;about betrayal?" He didn't like the way Fenrir's eyes were gleaming or the deranged smile,"Oh, I know about loss and betrayal. I know it all too well.
Because you see, I'm an orphan. I was born with nothing,I was given nothing and the world hated me for what I was raised to become."
Natsu's eyes widened as Fenrir continued,"I was raised by a war-monger to be stripped of everything that made me human;lust, hatred,joy,sadness,grief. However, I was given a light in the darkness in the form of a girl named Saya. Despite the environment which we lived in, she kept her humanity. She would joke around and tried to help us to become humans we used to be once more.
But all good things must come to an end,Saya couldn't take the pressure anymore and tried to escape; she had asked me to come with her since I was the only one affected by her presence. I tried to reason with her that we should wait for a better opportunity. She agree with me and behind my back, ran off.
She was later captured and executed in front of the entire new-bloods to make them think twice about trying to escape."
Naruto's eyes watered as he was reminded of what happened next,"I was forced to watch as the person I admired was executed in front of my eyes. I watched helplessly as she looked at me straight in the eye and mouthed that it wasn't my fault and that I should lived for the both of us. Tell me Tanimoto, do you think you're the only one with such a sad past?"
Hearing such emotional words from the normally carefree Fenrir shocked Natsu. Such powerful imagery made him able to see the event happening with him in Fenrir's spot and Kaede,his sister, in the spot of Saya. He didn't think he could take the pressure of that happening; he was taken out of his thoughts as Fenrir smacked his body into the wall.
"You'll always talked about killing, let me tell you this. It ain't pretty,it isn't honorable and it's not good. Take it from someone who has blood on his hands," with that, Naruto dropped Natsu and take his seat and closed his eyes,"Wake me when we get there," leaving Natsu to think about what his partner said to him.
Yokohama
Suffice to say,Yokohama was a pretty busy even at nighttime. The lights blinded Naruto a bit as he asked around for the restaurant that Odin's contact was supposed to be. While this was happening,Natsu stayed by his side silently as he looked around.
Naruto looked at Natsu,"Tani-chan, why are you still here?" He had out his anger and was back to his carefree mood.
Natsu scoffed,"You're my partner,Odin made quite clear that I'm not allowed to abandon you even if my identity will be compromised or there'll be punishments. I'm not a masochist so I'll like to stay away from it as far as possible." Thankfully to Natsu, Fenrir was back to the way he knew; he couldn't handle that side of Fenrir and hoped that it would never come back.
Naruto looked at Natsu as he wiped an eye as he fake-cry,"Ahhhh,that's so sweet but I'm straight," hearing that Fenrir was insinuating that he was gay made Natsu sputter,"I'm sure you'll find someone that'll fit your tastes, through."
The ninth Fist looked around until he did find a building with a sign that he was looking for, which he pointed,"Here we are,Tani-chan, the place we're supposed to be." Natsu looked at building sign and then back at Naruto,"Let's get those documents before we go find Sougetsu. Also stop calling me,Tani-chan, it's getting annoying."
Inside, the building was two-stories high with multiple tables spread around. Potted plants of all shapes and sizes were near the walls as decorations were covering the restaurant. But it wasn't the inanimate objects that the two were looking at, it was the amount of people that had them surprised where Natsu asked,"How are we going this 'contact' of Odin?"
Naruto was about to respond when a female voice interuppted him,"My name is Renka;How can we at Gekirin help you today?" Naruto and Natsu looked to see that a dark-blue haired girl dressed in a provocative Chinese dress. Her tone was was quite forced as Naruto and Natsu absently noticed. Naruto gave a bow,"I thought this place was the 'Imperial Wrath of Chinese Restaurant'?"
The girl gave a small giggle,"You must be foreigners, that's the official name of the place but everyone just calls it Gekirin. Uncle Hakubi doesn't really care what people call it so the name kinda stuck."
Naruto gave a charming smile,"We're here to meet a friend who's already inside but we don't where he is."
The waitress then walked away,"You can walk inside but no fighting or you'll deal with me."
Natsu scroffed,"How is she supposed to beat us up?" But as soon as he said that, the waitress then did a flying kick at Natsu's face sending him into the a nearby table. Naruto had to laugh as Natsu removed some noodles and a bowl from his head,"Alright, you wanna fight? Then let's fight!" However, just as the two were going to, a bellowing voice stopped them,"STOOPPP!"
Everyone turned to see an old man dressed in chinese clothing with a bald spot on his head and a mustache/beard combo that made him look like a stereotypical martial arts master that Naruto would sometimes see when he turned on the TV. Speaking of which, he never did learned how to change the channel as it was called.
"This is a place of eating and relaxation, if you two want to fight; you can do it outside!" the man scolded the two before moving towards the afflicted customers,"I apologize for my waitress's rude behavior, my grand-niece is an energetic woman. We'll make you brand new dishes." The man then was in front of the two boys,"I apologize, you may head inside."
As the two Fist headed inside to look,after a few minutes, a hand covered both of their mouths and dragged them into a corner,"Don't yell, I'm going to release both of you and all I want you to do is to not turn around. This is for your own protection, do you understand, Fenrir, Hermit?" As the two were surprised at the declaration, the voice continued in an amusing tone,"Odin thought you guys might come incognito and gave a physical description along with your code names. I'm going to release in three, two, one."
The hands were released from their mouths and they followed the order, afterwards a two folders were slipped in between Naruto and Natsu's armpits,"Stay here for awhile and act natural before leaving." With that, the presence disappeared as if it never here to begin with; Natsu looked at Naruto with an expression,"I'm not one to swear alot but what the hell was that?"
Naruto shook his head,"I don't know but I think it's best if we played along for now," with that said; the duo decided to head to the front where they meet the waitress again. When she saw them, she huffed and placed her hands on her hips,"So what do you two want?"
Naruto waved and was the one who decided to speak,"We couldn't find our friend but we would really love to eat at this place so could you please lead us to a table?"
"At least one of you have some manners, follow me," The girl took them to a table in the second floor and gave them the menu folders,"Today's special is the Brine-boiled Duck, I will come back to..." the girl slowly stopped talking and looked down at the first floor before jumping down and screaming,"Ha!" and smashing a table.
Naruto and Natsu reached the edge and saw something they didn't expect. Standing near the table was the Kenichi Shirahama along with a midget of a man with an awesome mustache; Naruto whistled,"What a coincidence, finding Usagi here of all places."
Natsu was not so happy about it,"What Shirahama doing here and who's the the old man?"
"The old man if I remember right is named Kensei Ma," Naruto informed the boy,shocking him as Natsu asked,"Did you say,Kensei Ma?" to which Naruto nodded,"Kensei Ma is the younger brother of my master,Sougetsu Ma."
Naruto then thought of a possible reason,"I heard from Odin that Loki managed to get intel that Sougetsu was here so maybe that's the reason they're came here as well."
"It's possible, but that means we have to be careful getting out and finding my master," Natsu reminded Naruto," Considering I have to protect my identity and then these documents." The duo saw the old man as he ran out of the restaurant as if the devil was behind him while the girl screamed,"Papa!" much to their confusion. Naruto grabbed the documents and walked down the stairs with Natsu following him. The two of them met with Hakubi,"Excuse me but could you hold onto these documents? We'll have something very important to do and we need these in perfect shape."
"Do we look like we hold onto stuff?" Hakubi asked, and Naruto responded,"We really need to go into this area but we can't hold onto these folders since they're very important to not lose. What do we have to do for you to hold onto it?"
"Oh, how about five hundred yen an hour sound?"
Natsu was furious at the outrageous price,"Two hundred."
Hakubi counter-offered,"Three hundred then; take it or leave it."
After agreeing to hold it for three hundred an hour, Natsu and Naruto rushed out intending to follow Kensei Ma, which they lost him in a minute. Natsu was stomping,"How are we supposed my master,now?"
A scream could be heard as a couple of thugs were surrounding a girl,"Come on baby, you don't want Sogetsu to come after your family do you?"
Naruto looked at Natsu,"Tani-Chan, do you think life is an anime,sometimes?"
"Stop calling that but yeah I get what you're saying."
Mafia HQ
That stupid thug that Renka had beaten up had led her to their base of operation. She looked next to her to see her father's 'so-called best disciple' as he started to shake at his knees. How hard had her father fallen if he was disciples like this? The thug in front of her stopped,knocking into her,"Hey, what's the holdup..." Renka saw as multiple mafia thugs were already down on the ground;some were dead and the rest needed some emergency treatment if they wanted to live.
As they entered the base following the bloody corpses; Kenichi started shivering at the signs of death. He knew that death was commonplace in the martial arts and underworld but he finally had a taste of it today. Renka on the other hand was studying the death moves on the corpses as they walked until the thug she captured turned around and attacked her.
Kenichi was already on the defense as he grabbed the wrist and threw the thug over his head before punching the thug in the face hard enough to knock him unconscious. As soon as that was done, Kenichi puffed out his chest and Renka was cruel enough to kick him repeatedly until he was cowering on the floor,"Listen,Kenichi, I don't need protection; in fact, I will be the one who had to protect you if you continue on this path."
Kenichi was rather adamant,"But I couldn't let a girl go through this all by herself," to which he received even more kicks by Renka for his insolence before she stopped and dodged a rather large body. She looked where the body came from and saw the two boys from Gekirin as one stood against the mafia while the other watched. The rude one was watching with a sick look on his face as his friend was stood still in the middle of the bloody carnage as the mob all died without even reaching the poilte boy's location as he did a funky move. It looked as if he decided to wrestle with a bear.
Kenichi saw the two and while he was freaked out by Fenrir; he didn't know why Tanimoto was by Fenrir's side, he decided to worried about it later as he rushed forward to defend his friend but he was not needed as Fenrir took out the last one with a throat punch. He decided to face his fear and yelled,"Fenrir!"
Naruto/Fenrir and Natsu: A few minutes earlier
Both Naruto and Fenrir had captured a mafia thug who sprouted that Sougetsu would come after them, leading them to use force or rather Naruto wanted a few minutes alone and the thug was singing like a canary hyped on drugs. When they reached the HQ, the thug had acted confident until Naruto showed why he always had to hold back and murdered or maimed them to the point of needing emergency services soon.
"Who are you? What are you?" as the thug tried to crawled backwards away from the demon. Said person placed a hand on the man's throat and said,"Your worst nightmare," before snapping the throat. Naruto looked back and Natsu was a little green from the destruction,"And what's wrong with you?"
"What you've been doing is just plain wrong?" Natsu was horrified that the Naruto he knew was a fake; he rather have that guy then the one he was seeing right now.
Naruto tilted his head,"But isn't this what you were trying to become? Killing people is a way of life in the Underworld; lots of people do it for pleasure,money or know no better way because this was all they know." He then spread his arms,"For me, it's all about survival, kill or be killed. I don't take pleasure in it but if you try to come after my life then they should be prepared to lose their own life in return."
Natsu had to swallow the bile in his throat, despite the fact that he said he was willing to kill; he had never actually done the deed but here was someone that's not only done it but did it with a precision of a scalpel.
As they entered the building and walked through a hallway into a room, a mob of twenty had blocked their path,"You kids ain't getting past this point," one of the thugs licked his knife as if it would scare the teens.
Naruto noted with disinterest that none of these guys were remotely interesting,"You guys are nothing more than cannon fodder huh?"
The knife thug was pissed that this kid thought he was nothing more than just an expendable, he held up a hand,"I'll deal with the kid on my own," to which the thugs obeyed. He then ran forward with his knife,"Time for you to die, kid!"
However, Naruto had disappeared in a burst of speed before reappearing on the right-side of the thug and then sent a palm strike into the neck area, slightly interfering in the carotid artery causing a blood overflow in the veins which immediately killed him as he was sent flying in the air before kicking the corpse over to the hallway in which they entered. He looked at the rest with the same eyes that could care less about his opponents as he scratched his head.
"Oh my God, he killed Long Feng, you bastard," another thug screamed as they all charged to their deaths; literally they charged and slacked as if someone cut their strings as Naruto entered a stance where his arms and legs were spread with the arms criss-crossed. Natsu fell into a trance as the last one died and a scream of "Fenrir!" woke him up.
Naruto turned around to see it was Kenichi,"Usagi, what are you doing here?"
Kenichi entered a karate stance as his knees began to shake,"I'm here to help Renka find Sogetsu Ma but now I'm here to rescue my friend," causing both Natsu and Naruto to look at each other and laughed. Kenichi was confused,"What are you laughing at,Tanimoto-san?"
Natsu wiped a tear from his eyes,"I don't need any rescuing from you," he then removed his Ragnarok gloves and placed them on,"Because you see,I'm apart of Ragnarok."
Kenichi couldn't believe that his own friend was in league with the gang that was trying to obliterate him, Renka placed a hand on Kenichi,"I don't know what's going on but what I do know is that we have to defeat this people."
Each fighter decided to take their stances three of the four fighters sense killing intent. Natsu and Naruto dodged out of the way while Renka grabbed Kenichi and fell to the floor while the wall next to them exploded and a large man in a tight shirt and pants and a beard that covered his lower face,"I thought I felt Kensei's aura but I must have imagine it then."
Natsu reacted in a happy manner,"Sifu," while Renka acted in violent manner as she ran towards the man while shouting,"Uncle Sogetsu, today is the day you stop shaming the Ma family!" before she performed a flying kick at him.
Sogetsu didn't even look as he caught the girl and slammed her into the wall and held her there. Kenichi yelled,"Don't you know what you are doing? You're killing your niece!"
Sogetsu was impassive as he replied,"So what, the girl is a martial artist and she threw an attack against me. That means gender, blood relation, etc.. is gone. All she is to me now is another enemy I will crush."
Natsu was running towards Sogetsu while saying,"Sifu, I missed you," before Sogetsu threw a back-kick that sent the boy flying into Naruto's hands. Natsu was wondering what was going on as Sogetsu looked backwards,"Who the hell are you calling,Sifu?" Natsu didn't understand, the man who was like a stern father as he trained him into the ground,"Don't you remember me, your own student?"
"I don't train people to be as weak as you or at all." The words shock Natsu as he always thought that once he met his sifu again, he could train with him as it used to be in the past.
The window on the right side broke as Kensei Ma did the same thing his daughter did and aimed at Sogetsu's arm. Sensing that his brother had reinforced his leg with Ki, Sogetsu removed his hand away as Kensei grabbed his daughter and tossed her to Kenichi while using the wall as a jump pad to landed strike against Sogetsu but the elder brother anticipated this and reinforced his body causing a slight shockwave as Kensei flipped into the air and landed on his feet.
Kensei looked at his estranged brother,"After twenty years, you're still living the life of a murderer. Don't you ever get tired of it all?"
"The only thing I get tired of is all the weaklings I have to fight," Sogetsu replied as he looked behind Kensei,"That's your student? He looks a predator's meal."
Kensei sighed as he stared,"I was afraid of this, you are too far gone that we can't go back to the old days." He then placed his right hand over his left fist,"Today is the day where we settle things once and for all."
Sogetsu did the same thing,"I already knew it but you were so deluded that you couldn't see it until now."
Both Kenichi and Natsu gasped at the actions of their masters, Naruto who had no master nor a inkling of the meaning behind the gesture asked about it. Natsu answered," What they just did was signify a death match. There can only be one who lived after this." Kenichi was more opened as he shouted,"Master Ma, this is wrong; brothers shouldn't be killing each other!"
Neither of the master-class fighters paid attention as they began to fight, Sogetsu was the first to start off as he went for a straight punch that Kensei,using his superior speed and small frame parried and sped towards the right. By using the wall and celing, Kensei was above his brother and went for a straight knife-hand attack which Sogetsu also used. The tips touched creating a powerful shockwave that covered the masters in a cloud of dust.
When it cleared, the two weren't there and a huge hole in the celing that wasn't there before with sounds of fighting coming from it. Renka climbed onto Kenichi's back and marshaled him to find a staircase so they could go up to the next floor. But Naruto stopped them,"Hold on for a minute," before picking up a piece of rubble and threw it causing it be sliced up,"Ninja wire, never leave home without it."
After he removed the wire,Naruto also gave Natsu a piggyback and the four teens ran side-by-side. As they ran, Kenichi asked,"Why, Tanimoto-san? Why would you join Ragnarok?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide his identity anymore due to a moment of heat, answer,"To prepare myself as I entered the Underworld of Martial Arts. In order to lead the sheep who couldn't see anymore than the top veil."
Why would you enter such a dangerous world?"
Renka smacked Kenichi in the head,"Less talking, more running."
As they went up from the first to the third floor,Kenichi asked once more,"Tanimoto-San, why do you even to want such a dangerous world?"
Natsu smirked,"I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I mean someone who's never knows what it like to lose."
"I was bullied throughout my entire life;I know what it's like to lose."
The Ragnarok duo stopped and gave Kenichi a dead-pan gaze, Renka was included in this,"You're were dropped on the head as a kid,weren't you?" Naruto's blunt question caused Kenichi to sniffle a little;Natsu shook his head and continued on,"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about something truly precious to you."
For the second time that night,Natsu told others about the story of his sister. How she died because she didn't receive treatment the way she needed it. Of how,people from his father's company tried to take everything of value from him and then kill him,"You see Shirahama, life is not fun and games;where the fighting stops if one can't fight anymore. It's cold and cruel and until you learn this lesson, you can never be a true martial artist." He then turned to look at Naruto,"Are you finally out of it?"
Naruto chuckled,"As long as no one tries to kill me," reminding Kenichi of what had happen in the lobby,"I remember now,why did you kill them?"
Naruto hmphed,"Simple, they try to kill me so I killed them."
Renka glared at Naruto,"You speak like Sogetsu, he shames our family by taking jobs from the mafia and killing everyone."
"Spoken like a sheltered princess," Naruto's mocking tone made Renka mad,"What did you say?" Naruto repeated,"I said you speak like a sheltered princess. Did you even leave your home before now?"
Renka looked away as she pouted,"No."
The blonde Fist pressed in,"From what I can understand,Kensei is your father and is a very important person." To which Renka puffed her chest and nodded,"But doesn't that mean he has lots of enemies?"
Kenichi had to ask as he was lost,"What do that mean?"
Naysu growled,"It means that Kensei would have assassins who would go after his own family if given the chance." Kenichi had his mouth wide open at the thought of someone going after his own family.
Naruto continued to explain as the two jogged from the third floor to the fourth,"Humans are greedy by nature and some of humanity don't have any morals allowing them to perform the cruelest of actions. Or when someone is stuck between two hard places and had to choose the lesser of two evils."
Naruto was reminded of every choice he made, from not studying at the Shinobi because he wanted to goof off to defecting from ROOT. While some choices had hurt both physically and mentally, he grew from it maturing from a brat to a man,"Do you think anyone can think rationally if their loved ones are in danger. If they do,their hearts are cold to the touch then."
As they reached the final floor,Renka pointed at the escalating fight,"There they are," the Ma brothers were sending punches after punches at one another. Sogetsu saw an opening and curved his right fist and sent an upper palm as Kensei blocked it with his arms crossed up into the ceiling. The cracter that formed had Renka covering her mouth and Kenichi closed his eyes as they thought Kensei had been crushed.
Naruto and Natsu wasn't concerned as the dust rolls by and revealed that inside the crater was Kensei as his feet was standing firmly locking him into place in the ceiling, Kensei tilted his head a bit revealing an eye underneath his hat,"Your punches haven't gotten weaker over the twenty years since we last met."
Sougetsu gave a short laugh,"Ha! Your power transfer technique is like a well-honed knife."
As Renka's eyes went wide, she spoke the three males,"Sogetsu the Hard and Kensei the Soft, each are renown as the ultimate Chinese hand-to-hand fighters." Naruto gave a chuckle,"Bet that's not the only reason why they got their nicknames," causing Kenichi to choke, Natsu to smirk and Renka to blush red as she tried to punched Naruto which failed.
The ninth Fist then sniffed,"Anyone else smell that?" Just then, the building started to smoke causing Renka, Natsu and Naruto to realize that there was a fire going on. Kenichi, who was never had anything to do with flames didn't recognize it, but eventuallt he found out as the flames roared upon their location. Naruto started to look around,"We're got to get outta here and fast."
The yell broke Kensei's concentration and Sogetsu picked up on it as he ran towards the wall and jumped before spinning backwards to land another straight punch,"This is the end, little brother!" But despite Kensei's lack of concentration; he managed to land several vital non-lethal blows into Sogetsu's chest causing him to spit out blood,"You're right, Sogetsu but it's the end of you."
As the eldest brother stumbled, he looked at his biological brother and wondered,"How? How is it that you managed to improved your skills?"
Kensei looked with slight pity,"Unlike you, brother who has always trained by himself and destroy those who are weaker than you. I trained with my friends and rivals who's skills are equal or surpassed my own."
Sougetsu chuckled,"Never thought that friendship was the key of my defeat. Sounds like one of those old superhero shows societies show to the children." He then sighed,"Well, time for me to die."
Kenichi looked at his master and yelled,"Master Ma! We have to leave now!" Naruto responded similar,"I rather not be cooked so let's get out of here." Renka, like the two boys also told her father to get out.
Natsu, on the other hand, got off Naruto's back and stumbled towards Sogetsu, who looked with an impassive gaze,"What are you doing brat?" Natsu did his best to lift his master up,"I'm getting you out of here,Sifu. I still haven't finished learning everything from you. That was the deal, wasn't it?"
Sogetsu, for the first time chuckled gently and patted Natsu's head,"Yeah, but it looks like I can't finished that promise," before he squeezed the head in a way that caused Natsu to fall unconscious before throwing the body over to Kensei,"Take good care of the boy for me, won't you as my last wish?"
Kensei looked at Natsu's form before looking at his brother,"You really did take a disciple, figure you would never find one that you would like."
The Ma murderer took a swig of booze from the container on his hip, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand,"To be honest, he bribed me with enough Sake that I'll never get to finish." He then looked at the younger Ma,"Keep a good eye on those two blondes; I recognize the other one from Yami's list they give out."
Needless to say, Kensei was shocked,"Fenrir is on Yami's list?"
"So that's his name? Strong name that one has but yeah Yami's been looking for the better part of two years thinking he might make a good agent since he had no quarrels about killing." Looking at the flames, Sogetsu gave a head point,"Go on, get out of here with those kids if you want them to live."
Kensei did take a look before he turned around and pointed to a building,"Listen, we're going to jump from this window to that building over there." Kenichi did not like that,"I don't think I can make it and Renka is injured." Fenrir grabbed both of them and placed over them on his shoulders and answered before Kenichi could ask,"I owe Akisame a debt and I intend to repay it right now."
"What do you meannnnnnn..." Kenichi was about to ask as he along with Renka were jumped out of the window and landed in the other building. Kensei followed a split second later.
Love Hotel
Haruto Kirishima and Yuzuki Eba or rather Yuzuki Kirishima were going to finally to going to have their honeymoon tonight. As Kirito was undressing his wife; she saw a dark spot coming in from the window,"Uh,honey, is that supposed to be normal?" He turned just in time as the window smashed as three teens along with an old man holding a knocked-out teen.
"Oh my god, what's going on?" Yuzuki asked as she used the bed covers to hide her body while Haruto moved to call the cops with the phone before one of the teens looked out the window as if he was going to jump,"We have to go back and get Sogetsu; we can't just leave him in there."
Another one of the teens smacked the first teen,"Stupid Usagi, the man wanted to die on his own terms; something people in life rarely get the chance to do so."
"But still..."
"No buts, just watch as Sogetsu made his peace in this life. Look even your master doing so."
"But...it's not right nor fair."
"Nothing in life is fair or I would have a loving family, Kensei would get his loving brother and Natsu would get his sister back."
Yuzuki asked her husband who stopped going for the phone,"What's going on,Haruto?"
"I don't know but I'm going to ask them now." Haruto then walked over to the group of five,"Excuse me,what's going on..." He looked to see the abandoned building next to the hotel was on fire,"Holy Shit, the place is on fire. Yuzuki, we got to get out of here!" With that, the couple ran out as the four watched the building burned down to the ground although some with more reluctance.
Ryozanpaku
Kensei and Kenichi had entered back into Ryozanpaku on a solemn note. As Kensei opened the front door of Ryozanpaku, he turned and looked at Kenichi,"You can go to bed now."
Kenichi looked at his Kenpo master,"Kensei-sensei, are you going to be alright?"
"It's difficult,knowing my brother is dead. We used to be close and now he's gone,"Kensei looked up at his student and grabbed his hips,"Listen Kenichi, tonight you had a taste of the dark side of the Martial Arts World but I want you to know where there is darkness, there is light to balance it," he then gave a pat," Think on it tonight and decide if you wished to still be a disciple."
Kenichi looked at his master's leave then looked down at his hand before clenching. He had to think about his beliefs as he remembered some of his opponents' words...
"Justice is overrated..."
"Someone like you will never understand..."
"I went to help my friend and he left me behind..."
"I hate it when someone looks down on me because I'm a girl..."
"Humans are greedy by nature and some of humanity lack morals allowing them to do the most cruelest of actions."
"Losing something precious to you."
The smack of reality was hard on the idealistic boy as he remebered every defining moment of his short combat carreer. A hand was placed on his cheek and Kenichi looked to see it was Miu who had done so,"Welcome home Kenichi, the masters are waiting for you inside the dojo." The brown-haired boy gave a small smile, he could think on it later but for now he deserved a rest.
Gekirin
Renka was mad, no pissed that not only did her father escaped from her but also the boys as well. She snapped the broom in her hand,"When I get my hands on them, I'll make them wished they didn't escaped."
Hakubi was standing near his great-neice as he spoke,"I hope you intend to pay for that, family or not, no employee should break the tools for the job."
Renka gave a sheepish smile as she went to get a new mop, when she thought she was out of the way, she thought,' Kenichi, my father's disciple. Natsu, my uncle's disciple and Fenrir, the joking realist. Mama would defintitly loved to see these boys, perhaps I should take them home with me along with papa.'
Natsu's house
"Uhhhgghh," a groan came from Natsu as he got up from the couch he was sleeping on,"Just a dream?" He looked around to see that he was dressed in the same clothes and rips were in the same spots,"It wasn't a dream,then. Sifu really is gon..."
No, thoughts like that are forbidden. Natsu was sure that his master had faked his death and was out there laughing at him for not seeing it. He went to his room and gather items needed for a trip before dressing himself in his Hermit clothes. As he walked out, he thought back to Fenrir before he sat down at a table and wrote a note before leaving.
Odin's Mansion
Naruto was chewing some of that bubblegum that Berserker recommended for him. After the building fiasco, he returned to Gekirin and recovered the documents before heading back with the still knocked-out Natsu. He went back to their place and dumped his land-lord on a couch before contacting Odin and receiving a place to go.
So here he was, in the back-yard of a mansion as Odin was practicing some sort of move. Naruto popped a bubble before waving hello,"Yo,would have been here sooner but I got lost on the road of life."
Odin was wiping himself with a towel,"Stop making bad excuses and hand over the documents." Naruto did so and Odin looked at them before setting them down on a table and sent a palm strike at Fenrir's. Naruto stopped it with his arms snaking before grabbing and his other hand at the carotid artery in the neck while Odin aimed a fist at his heart,"So...any reasons why you try to betray me cause I really hate traitors."
"That's funny coming from someone who intends to betray my organization."
Naruto tilted his head,"Okay,I'll bite; why do you think that?"
"Loki found out that you've been recruiting for your team."
"So? Valkyrie has her own troops,Loki has his army and his Shadows, Thor has his fight club and Freya has her Valkyries, what's wrong with me?"
Odin gave a huff,"You're not supposed to make decisions like that without my approval. They need my express permission before you can even have them initiated."
"It's a good thing they're not officially part of my team."
The First widened his eyes,"What do you mean?"
"It's simple, some of my troops are those I found and some of the gang members that I've beaten. I told them to train their butts off and when I'm ready to introduce them, they'll make an official appearance. I didn't in anyway whatsoever break any of the rules that was given to me after initiation "
Odin thought for a moment before looking away,"This is your second offense, one more and you'll receive punishment, do you understand me?"
"Crystal clear," both removed themselves from the tangle as Odin pushed his glasses up,"How strong are your men?"
Naruto gave a lazy smile,"At the time I found most of them; they were already strong to the point where I had to make an effort to beat them. But I would say, my troops are more than enough to beat the Shinpaku Alliance. I'll be sure to inform on how I rank them later."
The tuxedo-wearing man raised an eyebrow,"That's a pretty big claim since Valkyrie and her gang, Hermit and yourself have all lost or ran from them."
"I don't know about Valkyrie but Hermit escaped because he didn't want to show his face and I was defeated by a guy who wasn't even apart of the Shinpaku. Are you really going to count that?"
"Fine, I want to test your forces before you go into battle. So we'll let Loki have a shot and if he fails then you'll get your turn." As Odin and Naruto shook hands, the Wheels of Fate have begun to turn and it won't stop until it has reached it's course.
It was nighttime, I was walking down somewhere in this city before I found an abandoned building. While it was cold, I was trained to resist it so I decided to take shelter.
Inside, was a group that looked like bandits and thugs however they all wore colors of black. One of the bandits came up to me and asked while pointing a blunt object at me,"What are you doing here, Chibi?"
I can feel fighting aura from him but no kind of killing intent so I decided to spare him. I pushed the weapon away and punched the guy where all males hurt, the groin. He went down while speaking in a high pitch,"Why do they always go for the balls? before passing out.
The Chibi took down Rai, get him!" another thug screamed as they all charged me. Due to my age, it took awhile to beat most of them and kicked them out of my new home. The conscious ones were grateful that I didn't go after them and hauled themselves away.
Now that I'm inside, it's surprisingly warm and comfortable. I think I'm going to like this place.
Done, leave a review or constructive criticism. Now,some of you have asking me for Naruto/Miu or Naruto/Renka pairing or even double pairings along with harems. Let me tell you something, I actually have no clue what the pairing is. I don't think of pairings in my stories so I can focus on the relationships such as this character is afraid of this guy but has the backing of this guy over here.
Now here's an Omake for you
Omake: How Naruto killed the mafia so quick
"Oh my God, he killed Long Feng, you bastard." one of the thug screamed as they charged to their deaths; literally they charged and then slacked as if someone cut their strings as Naruto entered a stance where his arms and legs were spread with the arms criss-crossed.. It was at this point that time froze and from the side came Naruto.
Naruto gave a wave at the camera,"Hello, Everyone; you're probably wondering how they all died in a crowd like that. So I'm here on orders from the big boss, not my Ragnarok Boss, to help explain so roll back to after I killed the first thug please."
The background slowly rewind as the event happened backwards before it stopped where Naruto's palm strike hit the neck and sent him flying. "Play at slow-mo." The events happened in slow-mo until it showed where Naruto scratched his head before he yelled," Stop."
The Fist then looked into the camera,"Can you see how I did it? Let's take it even more slower with a visual zoom?" The camera zoomed in on Naruto's hands showing in his hands were sewing needles with wire inside of the eye. As the video played, Naruto scratched his head while systematically throwing the needles in strategic places.
"As you can now see, ninja wires that I still rationed after two years combined with sewing needles is the answer. I placed them down in about six seconds flat in places where I can get all of them in one shot. Originally, in ROOT we used Senbon needles for this type of ambush and never in direct combat since it's difficult to actually kill someone like this but these thugs seem to be stupid enough that I could actually do this.
To tell the truth through, I was aiming at breaking their limbs but you don't look a gift-horse in the mouth as the saying goes, is it? I need someone to look this up... It's right?...Okay,then."
Naruto gave a large smile that he had to close his eyes,"In a trained Shinobi hands, an ordinary object can be used to kill. So remember kids, don't piss one off," before Naruto opened his eyes and gave a blank stare as the temperature grew colder,"Or you'll find yourselves in the Shinigami's embrace sooner than you realize."
The temperature warmed up as Naruto gave an innocent wave as the stare went away,"Bai Bai and have a nice night; don't let Shinobi inside your homes now."
Omake End
Some may still argue that Naruto shouldn't be strong enough, I counter argue with this...
Shinobi of the Elemental Nations have done physical activities since the young age of around six,sooner than most children on Earth. On the first episode of Naruto, our hero can jump between buildings and keep ahead of adult Jonins at the age of twelve to thirteen.
Even with the excuse of chakra ,which Naruto has poor control of,of enhancing their muscles. Shinobi know that chakra comes from two different sources mixed together,Physical and Mental Energy. Physical comes from training and as such,physical exercises and the like while studying increases mental energy.
I would say that people of the Elemental Nation are technically physically stronger than the people of Earth but when it comes to real martial artists like Sakaki,Hongo, Hayato, Sougetsu, etc... It would take Yondaime Raikage's strength to actually tied them with no enhancement from either side or Jutsu from Shinobi.
Naruto's strength would be equal to Kanou Shou who was said to be at the peak of teenage physical feat. Naruto's classification in the real martial arts world would classified as borderline high-class since high-class disciples know how to use Ki. (Real marital arts as in Ryozanpaku and Yami's kind of martial arts where it's a lifestyle.)
Good Bye Good Night Good Luck
