What up, fellow fans and otakus, Chronix here with a new chapter, and also a new theme song!
Naruto: Did you say new theme song?
Me: Yes, Naruto. Here's a hint, Barakoku.
Naruto: Hmm... Barakoku... Barakoku... Barakoku... Bara...! Ah! Bara...! (me covering Naruto's mouth).
Me: No spoilers! Anyway, on with the chapter!
Naruto, Kazuma, Misaki, Riolu, Veemon just walked out of the Land of Fire's border to find a place to train, they manage to find a secluded place in the heart of the Elemantal Nations. Naruto set up camp, made a fire, tell everyone to sit down, and begin to tell them how this world works, "This world is a war-torn land, it's much different from the one you knew. In this world, there are people that can use jutsus like me, the ninjas here are different from the ones that you knew, you can identify ninjas by the headband they wear that has a small rectangular metal plate. So you have to be on your guard, be aware of your surroundings. And also... sometimes, shinobi have to kill others as it is in their job description." he said and the others nodded to show that they understand, they could also briefly see sadness in Naruto's eyes as they remember Zana from their trip around the world.
After a few minutes of silence, Naruto said, "It's already past 9 o'clock in the evening, I'll see you in the morning." They all went inside their own tents, as Naruto made it inside his tent, he began to have a flashback from one of his adventures.
5 months ago
Naruto and the gang were in the city of Pamplona, Spain as it was one of their stops to get to know the culture of Spain and its people. There they celebrated the 7-day festival of Sanfermines, he get to know the locals and befriend them. On the sixth day of the festival, he sign up for the Running of the Bulls, at first the adults thought he was joking, but when they saw his eyes, they knew he was serious about this. Kazuma, Misaki, Riolu, Veemon, and the locals that he befriended were looking at him like he was crazy, to which he replies, "It's a part of my speed training." He was one of the people who won the preliminaries. On the seventh day, Naruto was in a crowd full with contestants, the contestants and visitors were looking at him, thinking, 'What the fuck is that kid doing here? Is he fucking crazy?!'
Inside Naruto's mindscape, the entities were wishing him good luck. Yoko walk up to him and asked, "Are you sure about this, Naruto-kun?" Naruto then replied, "There's no turning back now, I can do this!" Yoko sighed then said, "If that's your answer, then good luck, Naruto-kun."
Inside the fence, the group were watching anxiously as Naruto position himself. At 8 a.m., the first rocket was set off, the corral gate was opened, and the contestants were running like hell with three bulls chasing them. Twenty minutes later, three more bulls entered the race and the second rocket was set off, a few of the contestants got hit by a couple of bulls and was either send flying, sustained severe injuries/fatalities, or dead. A few hours later, only half of the contestants survived and now there were a dozen bulls chasing after them, they ran through the Santo Domingo and Town Hall Square streets, Naruto noticed that some of the remaining contestants were looking like they can't continue anymore, one of them, who was about 18, fainted and the bulls were gaining speed. 'I have to save him!' Naruto thought as he turn around and run toward the man who fainted. The crowd were yelling in Spanish, in which Naruto understand as, "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" he ignore them as he made to the man who fainted. The man woke up, turn his head around, and saw a pack of bulls running towards him, he close his eyes and awaits the trampling, Naruto was grasping his arms, apply chakra to his feet, and run at supersonic speed, leaving a orange trail of energy. The crowd, mayor, and the locals Naruto befriended was shocked that he could pull off something like that.
The man open his eyes and found himself on the back of an eight year-old, running at the speed of sound! "Who are you?" the man said in English, as he look at his savior, and he saw that the kid is Japanese. "The name's Naruto Uzumaki, what's yours?." Naruto said in perfect English, the man was surprised that this Japanese kid can speak perfect English in an American accent, he shook off his shock and replied, "Michael Jones." "Nice to meet ya!" said Naruto with a grin. Naruto dropped Michael off, and continuing on with the event. The other contestants have the same thought in their minds, "I knew that couldn't make it." but as soon as they finish their thoughts, they heard a sound. They turn their heads around and saw an energy trail coming off from a shadowed figure, the figure made it to the front and was revealed to be none other than Naruto! The contestants were shocked, one of them said, in Spanish, "!Como llegaste aqui!" ("How did you get here!") Naruto replied, "Ese es mi secreto." ("That's my secret.") in perfect Spanish. The contestants were also shocked that the kid speak perfect Spanish considering this kid is Japanese, "Or so they thought, hehe." said Yoko as she read their minds.
Another few hours later, there were only four contestants left as the others were out, the remaining contestants have ran through the Mercaderes and Estafeta streets, the bulls catch up to them. The remaining contestants were thinking about giving up, Naruto on the other hand, thought, 'Fuck this! I'm going animal!' Naruto then crouch down and started running like an animal and gain speed. Naruto and the remaining contestants led all of the herd to the bullring and its corral respectively. The third and fourth rockets set off, signaling the end of the event, all the people were cheering. Naruto's group were jumping with joy that their leader/brother won.
End flashback
Naruto remembered that day, it was hard, but it was fun. As Naruto slept, someone else was thinking of the past.
Kazuma's Tent
Kazuma was lying there, thinking of the things that happened in his life. 'Misa-chan sure is cute.' he thought as he remembers the day that he met Misaki.
A year ago
Kazuma was walking in a park with his guardians, he envy those that have their parents still alive. He stopped his brooding when he saw a group of boys, two years older than him, was bullying a girl his age with brunette hair wearing a ripped shirt, ripped pants, and white shoes. "Stop!" said Kazuma, as he defended the girl, "Well, if it isn't the the Red and Blue Freak!" the leader said as his lackeys laugh. "Leave her alone!" Kazuma said as he clench his fists, "What are you going to do? Beat us? Hahahahaha!" the bully and his lackeys laugh at the thought until a fist was in his face! "AUGH!" he screamed as he was lauched from the attacked in a short distance, his lackeys were shocked as the strongest in their school was beaten by this runt. Before the lackeys would land a hit, Kazuma reacted fast and falcon punched lackey number one and elbowed lackey number two in the face! All of them land on the ground, they were about to stand up, until they felt a blast that made them shiver in fear, it was pure killing intent. "Get. Out. Of. My. Sight!" said Kazuma in a rather demonic voice, instantly the bullies ran away yelling, "WE WON'T FORGET FORGET THIS!" Kazuma calm down a bit before turning around and saw the girl shivering in fear, he reach out his hand and said, "You alright?" The girl snap out of it, and grab his hand, "What's your name?" she heard him asked, she then answered, "Misaki. Misaki Kiramoto."
"That's a nice name!" said Kazuma. Misaki blushed, then asked, "What's yours?"
"Kazuma. Kazuma Saito." he answered. It was at that day, Kazuma's first bond was created, and found his light. But he asked himself this question, 'What was that power I felt in my body?'
Kazuma smiled at the memory, what he doesn't know is that in the tent next to him, Misaki was thinking the same thing, but he also frowned at the memory of his time being possessed by the Great Leader of Shocker.
8 months ago, after Naruto recovered the 14 Heisei Riders' memories.
Kazuma was looking at the kids that have living parents, he was jealous at all of them, their smiles and happiness were his pain and suffering, he was bullied by some people, most would try to be friends with him but he doesn't trust them at all. 'Those bullies, those kids, their happiness, and smiles, I will make them feel my pain.' he thought as he see these kids, oblivious to true pain and suffering. "Do you want to destroy them?" a voice asked, Kazuma turn around and he saw no one, "Who's there! Show yourself!" said Kazuma, the voice chuckled, "Do you want to make them feel your misery?" the voice asked. Kazuma thought about it for a minute before saying, "Yes..."
"Then I will give the power, the power to make them feel your despair, your misery, your suffering, and your pain!" the mysterious voice said. Then something happened, a felt something, Kazuma felt a surge of power, a surge of dark power. "Agh! Oof! Uh! Yes... Yes... Yes... YES!" he screamed towards the heavens.
Ever since his first encounter with the Great Leader, Kazuma began destroying every city in the world, ridding everything that stands in his way, not letting anyone ruin his mission, to make others feel his pain. That is until he met Naruto, at the time, all the Kamen Riders were rebelling him, when Naruto encounter him, the whiskered boy find out about Kazuma's past and tried to bring towards the light. He did that by showing Kazuma his past, after all that, he said that he wasn't alone.
Magna Shocker HQ, 8 months ago
Naruto and Kamen Rider Wizard were fighting Kaijin after Kaijin until they made it to rooftop. There, awaits Kazuma in a high-collar pitch black robe, black pants, a black shirt beneath a black armor, and his eyes are now black with a gleam of evil. "So it seems the Ringed Magician and the Shinobi Boy has came to play with me." said Kazuma in the Great Leader's voice. "We will defeat you!" said Wizard, Naruto, however, has another plan, and he took out the legendary Dragon Blade with all the Elemental Orbs intact. 'I swear, on my promise with your guardians and your best friend, Misaki, I will bring you back to the light!' Naruto thought, "Ikuze, Naruto!" said Zero. 'Yeah!' Naruto said. He inserted the Fire Orb, the red one, into the blade and charge at the dark boy. Kazuma block the attack with ease, but Naruto made a Kage Bunshin and said, "Fuuton: Daitoppa!" creating a violent gust of wind but Kazuma repelled the attack and it's now redirecting towards the clone. Wizard then come in and slash Kazuma when he's open, "Agh!" he screamed as the attack did some damage. Two giant snakes appeared behind Kazuma's head and grasp the two each at the time, the snakes slam them to the ground and occasionally, bumping the two them to each other. Naruto manage to summon the Eye Slugger, telepathically controlling it, and cut the two snakes' head off, freeing them. Naruto then created arcs of fire and aiming them at Kazuma, it did damage to him, allowing Wizard to change form. Wizard take out a Transformation Ring, wear it, scanning the ring on the WizarDriver, "FLAME! DRAGON! BOU! BOU! BOU! BOU! BOU!" the belt announced as a red Wizard Circle appeared in front of him, a dragon made out of fire came out of the circle and merge with Wizard to create Flame Dragon Style. "This'll finish you!" said Wizard as he scan another ring, "VERY NICE! SPECIAL! SAIKYOU!" the belt announced as WizarDragon's head appeared on Wizard's chest and activate his special attack, Dragon Breath. The attacks seemed to work, Kazuma stood there unscathed! "Nani?!" said Wizard. "Hmph, weak." said Kazuma as he gather energy to blast a beam towards the two.
"Now, I will let you feel my pain!" said Kazuma, as he was about to attack Naruto. "Ugh... No...!" groaned Naruto, "Why are you not dead!" said Kazuma, "Because... I have a promise... to make!" said Naruto with conviction in his heart, Kazuma have had enough created a ball of darkness and said, "DIE!" "I... I... I WILL PROTECT THIS WORLD!" Naruto yelled as the dark ball hit him. "NARUTO!" yelled Wizard, as he saw the Legacy get injured, "Finally." Kazuma said as he is proceed to defeat Wizard. The red magician tried to shoot him but he just deflect the bullets, Kazuma then said, "Farewell." However, at the place where Naruto was, they saw him stand up!
(Cue: Worrier ~Yami o kakeru Kiba~ by Hironobu Kageyama)
"I... will not... give up...!" they heard Naruto croaked out, Kazuma finally had enough of this and said, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY?!" and throw a dark fireball at Naruto, "I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I WILL PROTECT THIS WORLD TO THE END!" they heard Naruto yelled with all his heart's conviction as the fireball was near him, the fireball was about to hit Naruto but suddenly, it rebounds and hit Kazuma instead! "Agh!" he screamed as he rolls form the impact, a red aura was surrounding him and with that, he scream towards the heavens as a pillar of pure red energy shot straight towards the skies above. Outside the headquarters, "What's that?" Beast said, the Riders and kaijins stop fighting as they saw the pillar of energy. On the rooftop, the energy pillar stopped and they saw Naruto with what looks like a henshin belt! The belt has a mechanical top view the Kyuubi's head, only it's colored red, with a red gem on embedded on it, the mechanical band was black. Naruto removed the Kyuubi head, looked at it, the head respond in a female voice, "Naruto-kun! What happened?" "Yoko-chan! How did you get out!" said Naruto. "I guess your heart and your will must have reacted to the remains of my chakra, maybe because of that, I somehow switch my consciousness to the belt." Yoko guessed, "In any case, we have to defeat him!" said Naruto, "Right." said Yoko. Naruto grab the head, opened the mouth all the way, a card appeared in his hand, depicting a Kamen Rider who's helmet was red with red rhomboid compound eyes, a silver mouth cover with red sides, two small silver fangs on top of the mouth cover and two small bottom canine tooth near the borders of red and silver, both pairs have red tips, and the upper half of a fox's head lay on top of the helmet with red eyes and an orange gem as the nose.
He insert the card in the mouth, "INSERTED, HENSHIN CARD!" the head announced, Naruto place his right arm on his side, raise it towards the sky, put it in front of him, "Henshin!" he said as he insert the head in the slot that looks like the head's bottom jawline. "ACCESS! KAMEN RIDER KYUUMA!" the belt announced as fox made out of fire came out and cover Naruto until it burst revealing a Kamen Rider with red metallic shin guards, red knee guards with an orange outline that creates an X, red gauntlets with orange rings and tiny curved golden blade, red shoulder guards, a red breastplate that looks like Agito's breastplate with an circular orange gem, and the same helmet depicted in the card.
Afterwards he battle Kazuma and was able to match him, when he was nearly weak, Naruto didn't finish him off. Instead, he showed Kazuma a memory of his parents, two months after his birth, Kazuma heard his parents words of encouragement and advice for the future, he saw his parents battle the monsters invading their old house, he also heard his parents words of encouragement and advice for the future in their final moments and they said the one thing he was always not sure of, they love him. After that, Naruto told him about his own past, after that Naruto said, "You're not the only one who has it hard, remember that memory, the day that you met her." Instantly, Kazuma remembered the time when he first met Misaki, he cried at the memory with tears of joy, because that was the day he met his best friend. No, his light of hope.
Another chapter done, this chapter is mainly about Kazuma, and Kyuuma will make his official debut in the next chapter, so stay tune for more. Also, review!
