Greetings mortals, I am your host. My masters wishes to tell you about the general plot line seeing as how this is going to be a long trip and to tell you what to expect seeing as how we've just enter the first Original Arc.
Coming up is the arc my master decided to call, "Three-way Gang War," followed by "Ishiyama Invasion," and with the final planned arc being the 'DoD Tournament."
Along the way, we'll may (or not) see more characters from different anime/manga such as the cast of Angel Beats, Gamble Fish, Usogi, Highschool of the Dead (without the zombies, of course), Kure-Nai (I like the manga better), Fooly Cooly.
So sit back and enjoy the ride...
Chapter 13: Prologue: Nothing's going to be the same again
Two regular students from Naruto's class looked over from their position. One (Let's call him, Ichi...) said to the other (Nii), "Hey, look over at the transfer student."
Nii looked over to see that Naruto was hanging out with the freshman idol and the Ace of the Kendo team, "Lucky bastard, he gets to see two cute girls during lunch. Life is so unfair..."
When the bell rang signaling the end of lunch, he escorted Miu and Makoto over to the door before waving them goodbye. Boys and girls surrounded him while asking questions...
"How do you know those two?"
"Can you introduce me to them?"
"Please don't tell me or the I love Naruto fanclub you're going out with them?"
"HE'S IN A DOUBLE RELATIONSHIP?"
Naruto sighed, if he was younger than this kind of attention would have sated him. Now, it only serves to grate his nerves. He was sure that he can understand Sasuke a little now, that duck-haired teme. Especially, with the fan club in which he had done nothing to gain.
At least, he was able to get away from them otherwise he would be a poor excuse of a shinobi.
"To answer your questions, I met them while hanging out with my friends. No and no, I will not introduce someone I do not know personally to them nor am I going out with them."
He did his best to dispel the rumors but he knew how hard that would be. His first thirteen years of life proved that when someone spread a rumor of how the Kyuubi was him or how the beast stole his body, something like that.
Back in the present, the door opened to reveal the teacher, he came in as everyone rushed back to their seats save for Naruto who took a leisurely walk back to his desk. It's not like he wanted to be at school but he had no choice if he didn't wanted to be stuck in Natsu's house.
Kenichi and Miu's classroom
"Please don't tell me that's true." Kenichi whined as he listened to Niijima, who took a perverse pleasure in seeing Kenichi's tortured face.
"I'm afraid it's true, one of my spies stated that he saw Fenrir chatting up with Miu and Makoto." Niijima's face turned serious as he continued, "We have to assume the worst, Kenichi. Miu has been converted over to Fenrir's side along with Makoto."
"No, that's not true, Miu is a good girl; there's no way that she would hang out with a delinquent like him." Kenichi stated over and over as his mind replayed something that he heard from Ma-sifu.
"If you don't have the courage to ask her out then she may be taken from you."
He should have heeded Ma-sifu's words as if it was gold. Because of it, Miu was taken from him. He felt like one of those guys who found out that their wife was cheating on him.
The door opened and Miu skipped in along with Makoto, both of them returned back to their seats with Miu smiling and waving at Kenichi. Kenichi's heart sank when he saw the wave and the innocent smiling expression of Miu.
Ryozanpaku
Miu was waiting at the front door along with Kenichi looking for a certain wolf to was suppose to come today. Kenichi looked at Miu before he asked, "Miu..."
"Hmm, what's wrong Kenichi?"
"What's your relationship with Fenrir?" This question was supposed to determine just how far along their relationship was.
Miu thought about it before asking, "We're great friends, like you and me." Kenichi's spirit sunk even lower as he heard just how they came to be friends, "So me and Makoto along with Izumi went to a Karaoke cabinet to find out that all the rooms had been booked.
We then bumped into Naruto and his friends and they let us share with him." Miu didn't see the horrified look at his face as he imagined Naruto sitting on a throne with Makoto-san, Miu and Izumi-chan barely clothed surrounding him.
This image definitely did not come from his lemon (read as porn) books.
Miu continued, "We sang, talked and ate a lot. Then, Naruto had go somewhere and left us to party until it was time to go."
Miu then saw a flash of yellow coming down the streets, "I think it's him." She waved and then found out it wasn't him. She could tell by the non-existing whiskers on his face. Kenichi recognized him as Souichiro-san.
Souichiro said as he came up to them, "The boss said sorry that he couldn't come. There was apparently a mandatory meeting and he had to go. So, he sent me since I didn't have anything to do today."
He gave a smile, one that said he was the predator and Kenichi was the prey, "I think I should warn you, I don't do easy when I fight."
Ragnarok's HQ
Fenrir walked in the room to find the rest of the Fists already there. Odin sat in his throne chair with a fist supporting his head and Berserker standing by his side. Freya was to the side of the room practicing her Quick-Draw staff technique while Loki was busy tinkering with a puzzle.
Siegfried was writing stuff in a notebook and Hermit was still gone. Thor was practicing his open palm against the wall for quite some time if the cracks in the wall were any indication. Valkyrie was sitting on a box pile as she played a handheld videogame.
"Now that all the Fists are here, let's begin." Odin stated, drawing everyone's attention to him, "With the attack on Ishiyama High, known for it's hundred and twenty percent rate of delinquency; all other gangs have either retreated or surrender in fear of what we'll do."
Odin leaned forward, "We now have complete control over the Tokyo metropolitan area."
Valkyrie kept a heand on her beanie hat, "That's cool and all but what now? Being in a gang's no fun unless you got strong people to fight against."
Odin nodded, "You're right but there're still some feeble resistance in the form of the Shinpaku Alliance. Fenrir's group has been chosen to deal with that."
"So what do we do? Just sit on our behinds waiting, I didn't join up for that." Thor growled.
"As it stands now, our true enemies will come to town as little as a month or so. We should use this time to train ourselves for the upcoming fight. Now that we got that announcement out of the way, let's finish the paperwork."
The paperwork Odin mentioned contained questions such as; how many men in your gang, what's the average status of each men, etc... Naruto hated paperwork but even Siegfried had to fill some up and he doesn't even have a men to watch over.
When the mandatory paperwork finished, most of the Fists drifted back to their territories and Fenrir was no exception. With it being over, he started heading over to Ryozanpaku. The rest were busy with something that apparently didn't need his help.
Karma
Karma Akabane was standing in front of a grave of the only man he considered a father. He was on a mountain that once contained an entire class of middle schoolers for one purpose...
To assassinate the man known as the God of Death.
As he remember back to the fun times, he sensed people hiding behind him. Karma turned around to see a few students from the old class, those who did their best to deny what they had become, assassins and killers.
"What do you people want? Here to disturb Koro-sensei's grave?"
Blake
Blake had a fancy dress with a symbol of the nightshade flower on her left breast. She was sitting at a fancy dinner area with a woman that looked similar to her in almost every way.
"Mother, I keep telling you that I don't want to go back to Italy." Blake told her mother, every since she found out about her daughter's condition.
Unfortunately, Maria Belladonna was not having any of it, "Blake, you don't actually feel anything for this Naruto person. It's that brainwashing that's making you say such things. Come home, Blake."
"No, mother you don't understand and you never will." Blake then stood up, "How can you when you married father for his money?" She then went for the exit, intending to escape her mother's presence.
Maria sat there for some time, remembering back to when she first found out what had happen to her daughter.
Flashback
"You stay the hell away from my daughter!" Maria yelled as she glared at the male who brought her beloved daughter to the hospital.
He then raised his hands in surrender, "Fine, just know that the doctors and psychiatrists cannot help your daughter the way she is now. It's only going to end badly for her if you go this route."
He said it with such conviction that it made Maria hesitate before she looked down at ask, "How do you know that?"
"Cause I went through the same damn thing..." Maria looked up in surprise as the male walked closer to her, "What she went through was nothing compared to me. I was forced to watch as those who imprisoned me destroy my light in the darkness, dragging me deeper and deeper into insanity."
She then looked up into his eyes as he continued, "Your daughter will never be the same little girl you once held. She will either be unable to handle the full scope of what happened or she will become like me, a survivor."
Maria shivered as the male place his two hands on her, those eyes oh god those horrible eyes that reminded Maria of an old saying.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Flashback End
Maria sighed as Naruto was right. Everything he said about her daughter was damn right. From being scared no terrified of other peoples' touch save for the boy's to her following him like a lost puppy. Blake was no longer that innocent girl that she sent off to learn more about the world.
She came back to her as a woman far too soon.
Freya
The Third Fist sighed as she entered her dojo, removing her jacket. She then heard yells and smacks of wooden weapons hitting flesh. There was also the smell of sweat in the air.
She then opened the door to the training room to find her Valkyries Injured and on the ground. A female voice, "Is this all Kaname's group can do?"
Freya saw that her entire group was beaten by a single person that wore a high-school uniform. She said, "I'll see to it that they get even more training, Kunieda."
The person turned around to reveal it was Kunieda Aoi, the former leader of the Red Tails. She then scratched her head, "It's been a long time, Kugatachi."
Freya crossed her arms underneath her large bust, "Not long enough, what brings you here?"
Kunieda stared at Freya's breasts before looking down at her chest. She knew her own chest was average-sized but when they're taped down to look smaller than they appear. She couldn't help feeling inadequate before shaking her head, "I need your help, Tachi."
Freya ignored the weird looks Kunieda was giving, used to them already from other girls. The real thing that was weird was Kunieda asking for her help and calling her by her shortened nickname. Had it been a few years ago, she would've said yes without hesitation but after a nasty fight that involved a guy double-dating them behind their backs, things haven't been the same.
"Things must be bad if you're asking me for help. What's going on?"
"My grandfather find out that I was beaten by a male. According to Aoi family traditions, the female Aoi must take that man as her husband."
Freya raised an eyebrow, "Traditions like that haven't been followed since the end of the Meiji era. There's no need for you to actually follow them."
"I know..." Kunieda was close to ripping her hair out, "But if I don't follow them then my grandfather will annoy me until I leave the household. Koga also doesn't need to hear this kind of stuff yet as well, he's in pre-school for God's sake."
Kunieda then stood in front of Freya, "However, there's a loophole and one that I need your help with. It states that the female can choose a champion to fight the male. If the champion wins, then the marriage is null and void."
Frya then understand immediately, "You want to choose me to fight Fenrir? Are you insane, Ragnarok has rules against other Fists fighting against one another, no exceptions."
Kuneida then bowed her head against the ground, "I don't know who else to call on. You're the only I know personally that has any hope of beating him."
This was going to bite Freya in the ass, she knew it but when someone was asking her for help, even an estranged friend like Kuneida, she couldn't just say no, "Fine, I'll help but expect the possibility that I may lose."
"I'm fully prepared but I'm going to give it my all before I get tied down so soon."
Ryozanpaku
Bam! Kenichi went soaring into the air as Nagi cracked his fingers, "That's all ya got?" Nagi asked, "You actually think you can take on the boss with monkey tricks?"
Sakaki and Kensei watching from the back yelled, "Hey!"
Nagi looked over to where the Ryozanpaku Masters were sat and oversaw the match between the two, "I apologize but as it is right now, your training is only wasted on someone like him who doesn't even understand the world he chose to live in." Nagi turned his head to only see Kenichi get into another stance, "And here's another proof, why didn't you attacked me while I was distracted, dumbass?"
"It would be impolite of me to do so." Kenichi replied.
Nagi looked at the Ryozanpaku Masters, "You see, although now that I think about it, shouldn't you as the master taught him the rules as well?"
"You think we haven't tried?" Sakaki bellowed out, "We've have since his technique training started. Kenichi is that useless and untalented at martial arts."
Nagi raised an eyebrow, "Really, let me have a try then." Kenichi shiver at the presence of Nagi who emitted a presence of a predator and he was the prey. "Rule #1..." Nagi rushed Kenichi before sidestepping a basic jab and landing a palm on Kenichi's jawline, "Stop wasting time thinking on useless shit. When in a fight, let your body do the thinking."
The Fang member then landed a combo comprised of an elbow to the other side of the jaw before spinning and a kick to the stomach. Kenichi was slightly in the air as his arms were grabbed by Nagi and pulled towards him.
Nagi then let go and clotheslined Ryozanpaku's Number One Disciple (as in the first disciple) was hit the ground hard enough to stun him. Nagi got on Kenichi and started pummeling the forearms Kenichi used to protect his face.
"Rule #2: Chaos is the nature of battle. Use everything and anything to your advantage or you'll be the one eaten." Nagi roared as he pulled back his fist to punch and then finding out that something was holding it back.
He looked up to see that it was Akisame-sama holding his fist, "I think that's enough for today." Nagi looked down to see that he had knockout Kenichi for sometime now. He stood up, "Well, that's that I suppose, hope he at least learn those two rules before I beat him senseless."
"I'll show you the way out." Akisame said as he gave a gentle smile. Nagi followed the jujitsu master to the front door as Naruto came in, "You're done already, boss?"
"Yeah, turns out it was just paperwork. Done on your end as well?"
"Mister Souichiro here has beaten some rules of conduct for a fight into Kenichi within in a few minutes." Akisame replied as Nagi nodded, "Boss, you said that this guy was able to take a few of your easy hits so I thought I could kick it up a notch but he turns out to be a weakling, what gives?"
Naruto shrugged, "How the hell should I know? Maybe his heart wasn't into the fight or maybe he's just a masochist. Anyways, thanks for covering for me."
"Anytime..." With that, Nagi left Ryozanpaku and headed down the street. Naruto then looked back at Akisame, "Oh sorry, forgot you were here."
"Don't mind me, it's just... when you talk to Souichiro, your eyes showed just how weary you are. What have you seen in your life?"
Akisame would later state that he heard insane laughter and images started to flash in his eyes far too quickly for him to process when Naruto gave a small tired smile...
"More than anyone should have be forced to know."
Loki
Loki was gritting his teeth as he paced back and forth from his base room. When he had asked Fenrir to join, he assumed that the vagabond was simply a homeless boy that only knew of brute force.
Loki had watched every video, communication and post he could find about Fenrir and it went as far as about a year ago. The rest was just a blank which he assumed was because Fenrir was out-of-the system.
He never suspected the boy's skill and leadership prowess could even exceed his own. Along with that, his 'pet' had a mind of it's own when it should only do what he say. Their must be a way for him to regain control or at the very least, remove him and his fangs from the equation.
Suddenly, Loki thought of an idea; a genius idea that'll pit Odin and Fenrir against one another while he would hang back and finish off the survivor. It was so genius that even Loki was shocked that he thought it up.
Soon, Loki will be the one who will rule them all.
Done, I'm tired and I have nothing witty to say so here you go.
Omake: How did Naruto get his Headquarters refurbish?
The Fangs took a look at the Headquarters, it had everything from snacks to an actual dojo. There was even a seventy inch plasma wide-screen with netflix.
What the TV didn't have through was 3-D; everybody knew it was a stupid gimmick.
"So, uh, Boss; how did you get the money to get this place fixed up?" Nagi asked as he looked at Fenrir munching on some snacks. It was well-known fact that Fenrir was a vagabond and homeless. To even get this place must have cost hundreds of thousands of yen.
"Drugs... Munch munch... I sell hard-core drugs." Naruto replied as he belched; seeing the horrified looks on their faces except for Nui and Shiro, who wasn't even paying attention as they jumped on the couches with a giddy expression.
Naruto then swallowed, "I'm joking..." The faces turned to relief before he dropped another bomb, "...I paid for this by winning a lot in pachinko parlors..."
"WHAT!" Blake jumped out of her seat and went over to her master, "YOU WHAT!"
"You heard me, Blake. Through I'm most likely on the ban-list of every pachinko parlor within the Tokyo area now."
When it came to Luck, Naruto can't fail for some reason. Most likely the payback of the god(ess) when it came to his bad life.
Gambling for cash is considered illegal in Japan however Pachinko is regarded as the one of the few exceptions since they don't directly award money prizes. They award material prizes such as cigarette lighters to bicycles and electronics which can then be sold for money.
I'm assuming Pachinko can be similar to slots in that they can turn out great prizes which can then be sold for a lot of money. If that's not the case as I'm not familar with it save for seeing it in manga/anime, then just assume it can be done so in this 'verse.
Preview
"Think this over Fenrir, if you leave, you're a traitor." Odin said as the rest of the Fists surrounded Fenrir.
"Oh, I thought this over perhaps you should have done the same." Fenrir replied as he snarled, "From this day onwards, the Fangs and me have nothing to do with Ragnarok...
...Except to declare war..."
Good Bye Good Night Good Luck
