New Helghan, Neo-Phyrrus

Autarch Sanctum

Ophis POV

Seven year. Seven year has passed

For me time is something that's simply considered as easy come and easy go. For some people, it was a long time but to me -who live long enough for anyone to call me a living fossil- seven year is like seven day for me

However, the arrival of Naruto, Yakumo, and Hinata change that

The last seven year have been the most precious time for me after the apocalypse thousand years ago. If the centuries I spent wandering around the realms learning everything inside one realm to another realm, give freedom and recruit a servant from one to another like Regret and Suffer, helping rebellion, and stuff like that

Most of my journey ended up aiding some group instead a major player or a villain in that realm who always got caught in between and most of those group suffered the same fate like the Helghast: Shunned, Oppressed and Conquered by those they sought to escape.

So that's why I took them in not because they have Jinchurikki in their group but because something I learn during my years of travel: Sympathy

They maybe don't want my sympathy because they do not want to be seen weak. They want to become a strong shinobi/Kunoichi and prove it to their oppressors that they can be a strong person unlike their own pre-judgement

But that's what made me worry. One can be so obsessed in their goal and I can see the fire in their eye that they want something… not good to happen to their oppressors… not that I can blame them they're still a child no matter how mature they are, there always be one childish mind in their brain: their hatred toward their Parents/Clan/Ex-Teacher

And that's why I sympathise with them

If I don't something about it, it will get worse to the point they want to exact revenge on them. Revenge… it only poison yourself and destroy someone from inside or caused more harm than good to their surroundings… like I used to be

And that's why I…

*Flashback 5 years ago*

Ouroboros Palace's Study room

5th floor

"My Autarch, you ask for our presence?" Naruto said with formality following behind him were Yakumo and Hinata. They just finished their academy training and just got back

"Drop the formalities Naruto, I'm not on duty right now" I said casually as I close my book "but yes, I need to talk about something" I said gesturing them to sit on the couch

"Umm… O-Ophis-san do you have bad eyesight" Hinata asked looking at me

Oh yeah I kinda follow her habit "Huh? Oh this?" I tap my glasses "Nah, it's just for looks. Sometimes, I can think more clearly if I wear this" I said as I taking my glasses off

I waited until they get comfortable on the couch before I started talking in serious tone"Naruto, Yakumo, Hinata, for the last two years I've been taking you in my empire watching your activities every day and I, have come to conclusion…" I paused a little to see their reaction

Naruto hung his head down

Yakumo look surprised and wore a shocked expression

While Hinata fidgeting aaaannndd using perfectly executed Puppy Eyes No Jutsu at me

I could hear 'it's too good to be true' muttered from Naruto and Yakumo almost on the verge of tears while Hinata…

Would stop looking at me like that Hinata! At this rate I might cave in under your cute façade!

Sigh I should have known better that I shouldn't use that kind of tone to them and why are you so negative?

Now, I feel like I just kicked a puppy

Anyway, you're hoping for heart-breaking answer? Well you'll be disappointed because…

"I want to adopt you three as my son and daughters"

Silence reign after I said that as if I just authorized something outrageous. At first I thought they were questioning my decision knowing their background but the looks on their faces convinced me that they were shocked and trying to process my statement

Well it hard to process especially the part where THE Autarch of this nation, the second leader of the hard worker Helghast people, the strongest individual in New Helghan want to adopt them

And as fast as lightning the trio of honorary New Helghan citizens glomp at me again

"Don't do that again… please…" Yakumo said in hoarse voice

"I thought you were… going to" Hinata said almost sobbing… damn it I almost made her cry

"We gladly accept you… as our mother" and Naruto said with finality

I smile at their response it's good to know they are quite accepting at my decision at first I thought they would be sceptical but the lack of love from their parents/teacher made them accept me as their new mother

"Don't worry I won't do that again" I return the hug "you all have bright future awaits"

*Flashback end*

And thus how Naruto Hyoudou-Gremory, Yakumo Hyoudou Gremory, and Hinata Hyoudou-Gremory was born

In addition to their adoption I also decided to take three of them to apprenticeship so I can teach them not only how to utilize chakra but also magic… if it possible that is. Because this realm is relying on chakra too much to the point it act as magic replacement in this world I doubt if any of them developing magic circuits.

Teaching Naruto, Yakumo, and Hinata was certainly new experience for me if I'm the one who usually pestering someone be their student or dwell into an some art/books so I can learn something, now the role has been reversed with me being the teacher and they become the students

And I personally taught them -though I let Hera and Jorhan to help them with their literature problem- and each of them need personal training

~Ouroboros~

Hinata- I've taken interest in the shy girl, despite her shy personality she's quite adept in close range combat. During their escape I noticed she's not very active in fighting but rather focused on spotting target or detect any attack aimed at them making me come to conclusion she's also very adept to become a sensor Kunoichi

She's going to perfect her fighting style but her family scroll was destroyed during their fight with the ANBU that were chasing them. I took this chance by introducing her the martial art known as Baguazhang

Unlike Gentle-fist who rely heavily on both hands to fight, Baguazhang utilized both handwork and footwork to fight their enemy giving more variability and kicks which is not used In Gentle Fist along with the evasive nature of the style it will suit her perfectly. Additionally, since I taught her Baguazhang her main targets in close range will be vary since Gentle fist focused on closing Chakra Pathway and surrounding organs, now due to the nature of Baguazhang she have additional target to strike like joint locks around human body

I still remember two of my Chunin with a rank of 2nd Lieutenant and were sent to hospital because of dislocated Joints on their shoulder joints and their hip joints caused with her new hybrid fighting style

Ouch…

Also I taught her a special Taijutsu style and sensing technique that I found and learned during my travel as complimentary addition for her Byakugan and her Baguazhang

And she managed to mastered it in three years the only thing to do left is field testing and if it has satisfying result then I will try to apply this to my Ghost ANBU

Though, I keep reminding her that Gentle Fist is the most suitable fighting style for her, Baguazhang is just additional lesson from me to add more kick attack in her Taijutsu since sooner or later I might send her to elemental nation for a mission and she will be quickly get into trouble if she meet a Leaf Shinobi and it's not funny if she quickly discovered because of her fighting style

And how to confuse them with Gentle Fist? Make a bastardize version of it and add Kenjutsu to her arsenal

About Kenjutsu, judging from her fast hand movement I assumed that she would be suitable to use a Kodachi or two. I had to drilled an intense training of swordsmanship with working with her footwork and Kodachi fighting style

She have two nature affinities fire and lightning. Responding to this, I taught her several fire jutsu and lightning jutsus which is native to their original continent and our own Jutsus along with Iryo Jutsu or medical jutsu

Her genjutsu is… good enough. But not her forte she only master Hell viewing technique along with layered Genjutsu and how to break a Genjutsu

And lastly, Fuinjutsu she's good enough for creating storage seals and several trap seals

Yakumo- she's a long-range fighter that's it. Her physical disadvantage forced her to resort to use long-range technique via her Genjutsu

Ninjutsu and Taijutsu is not her forte, but this is a crucial technique that every Shinobi need to mastered at the academy which is I strongly declared I will take no excuse if she fail which is made her down for few days

But that's end when I offered her to use my 'snake' to alter her body and mould it into proper Kunoichi body. I took a good re-studying Ajuka's Evil Piece System figuring how to transform one being into a devil I took some notes here and there along with trial and errors I finally create a 'snake' to alter her physic

I actually already know the concept because that's how I turned Regret and Suffer into my servants but I don't want her bound to me as a servant no, I just want to fix her body not force an oath she didn't want to swore

After consuming the snake, her body quickly react to it and the snake transform it into normal… well maybe not entirely normal since I added a little bit of magic in it. The reaction was instant she fell to the ground unconscious unable to handle the strain from the transformation

Two hours later however, she woke up with unusually great feeling her body has turn into a perfect healthy and strong body thought she had strength issue since anything she grab were either crushed or bent

I think I put too much magic into her body despite the miniscule amount

That being said I think she's now more… well endow with that curves, hips, and breast

Yep, I put too much magic in it causing the snake stimulated her hormone causing her to bloom beautifully

Anyway pervy thought aside

With her newfound power I taught her how to control her power with casual control training like holding an egg without cracking it or holding a sword without bending the hilt. I also quite surprise when I tested her power, Alviss Fitzgerald my Colonel offer his help to test her power only to be blown through a wall… and fell to the ground from 6th floor with a single punch

Judging from her explosive power I choose Bajiquan as her main taijutsu style albeit she admit she's not suitable for close-range fight, I ensure her to take the lesson as she wouldn't know what she will get into

As for Ninjutsu I found out she have nature affinity for Lightning, fire, and water just like Hinata, I taught Ninjutsu that were native to their original continent and our original jutsu along with Iryo Jutsu

In addition to her ninjutsu, I also found out my 'snake' not only create a healthy body for her but also create magic circuits inside of her which again made me surprised at this revelation how? What have I done to awaken her power to this length? Is my magic the one behind this? This is not what I intended to do

Pushing those thoughts aside, I also noticed the large amount of mana pooling up inside of her so rather than leaving it unusable. My servants and I taught her several magic techniques to her that were aligned with her nature affinity though I wonder…

Is Norse magic a bit overpowered for her enemy?

Try to utilising her fighting tactics for long-range combat, Yakumo decided that bow and arrow would be her perfect weapon for her though, it's uncommon for Helghast Shinobi for not using kenjutsu, but Yakumo made it up with her skill in archery. She's an excellent markswoman able to shoot two consecutive shots hitting the bull's eyes from 500 metres with the second arrow split the first one

About her Genjutsu, it's a friggin' cheat code I tell ya. A FRIGGIN' CHEAT CODE! She can make a Genjutsu-like Ninjutsu attacks regardless her nature affinity and those who not par with her skill can't tell the differences

Forget basic hand seal for every Genjutsu technique with her mind alone she's capable performing every Genjutsu technique ever listed and those which never listed

It also allowed her to cast Genjutsu world trapping her victim from escaping, creating illusion monster, and more

It's just like watching [Dimension Lost] and watered down version of [Annihilation Maker] shoved into one body

Realising this I made a restriction seal on her that spread all across her body the idea is to control certain amount of her bloodline power so she can control correct amount of her Bloodline ability so she didn't overdo it and risking her ido to take over

Now that being said, her dark conscience. I don't know what happen but her dark side suspiciously disappeared this pops a crucial question: where is it? It's impossible for it to just come and go knowing the dark conscience part of her human mind. But when I release her seal, her bloodline power pouring in but her Ido doesn't appear nor trying to take over her mind it's like… it simply vanish…

This need to be investigate and the answer are remain to be seen.

Her Fuinjutsu is on the same level like Hinata only limited to storage seal

Naruto- He's the most unique than the rest of the two. His physical ability is extraordinary.

Unlimited stamina. He could outrun even my best Shinobis, even a veteran one like my Colonel and the Ghost along with his ability to fight for two hour straight non-stop

Large… no make it magnamous amount of chakra. His chakra reserve is something that can be considered the biggest among the biggest being Kage level chakra and still growing

Faster healing and regeneration despite not being a true Jinchurikki. He claimed it's an inherited power from his former clan, Uzumaki. His clan were known for their longevity, faster healing from injuries even mortal wounds and fast chakra regeneration, and their knowledge of Fuinjutsu

And of course being a clan who specialized in Fuinjutsu, he have made several low rank seals such as storage seal. Seeing this opportunity, I provided him with our own version of sealing arts to his delight. Right, now he has produced hundreds of mid to high class Fuinjutsu ready to aid him in combat in any kind of situations or utility seals for menial task such storage seals

About Kenjutsu, I'll admit he's doing better unlike the other two he had more practice then the rest but he had no style whatsoever but he have the footwork and the reflex of a swordsman.

The Colonel volunteered offered his help once again –though, he's Hoping not to be blown off again- to evaluate Naruto. At the end of the day, he came back reporting to me in his report he stated that despite the lack of sword style his reflex alone enough to repel the colonel's slashes and he managed to hold off for fifteen minutes utilizing his fast footwork and reflex

About his Taijutsu, he's a brawler nothing much to say other than his rather blunt street-fighter but combine with his fast footwork making him completely unpredictable in his movement and caught many Helghast shinobi off guard and manage to take down other candidates with mere reflexes and fast movement. I want to teach him some martial arts but his unpredictability that made me to let him keep his… unique fighting style

About Ninjutsu, he… exceed my expectation, I tested for his nature affinity and unlike most of my shinobi nor his friends he has all the nature affinities. He was surprise and happy at the discovery knowing he had more potential in this field than his other friend –if didn't count Yakumo's Genjutsu Bloodline- I also happy at this development but I told him not to get cocky because this will be hard training for him to master all the elemental attacks

And hard it was, as of today, he only master two elements Wind and Lightning Jutsus while he only managed the rest down to basic with water being intermediate level

And like the rest of the two I taught him medical ninjutsu

About his Genjutsu, it's not his specialty but at least he can performed the basic like Hell viewing technique and cancelling Genjutsu though I doubt he'll need it since his tenant alone enough to help him escape Genjutsu despite the lack of its chakra

Ah yes his tenant

*Flashback 6 years ago*

Naruto mindscape

"Mother how are you inside my mind?" Naruto asked

"I have the ability, Naru-kun, I need to see your tenant it's regarding of your training" I answered "would kindly show the way?" I continued as I observing the… sewer of a mindscape.

"This way"

Walking around the sewers I noticed how damp, dimly lit, and water dripping from the pipes on the ceilings. This place even though the water is clean it's still give that dark creepy sewer impression

"We're here" as I arrived at the spacious part of the sewers I can see a large metal bar cage with a kanji letter for 'seal' in the middle of it. You can't see anything behind the bars except for darkness looming on the other side

"Go away Gaki, I don't want to talk right now" grumbled Kyuubi which I believe try to get back to his nap

"Is that how you greet me, Kurama?" the reaction was instant as a pair of bloodshot slit-eyes and fangs come to life glaring heatedly to me

"HOW IN THE HELL YOU KNOW MY…" However, the mighty nine-tailed beast roar was cut off when the beast look at me "Holy… is that you? Is that really you Ophis nee-san?"

I couldn't help but smiled at the beast "In the flesh" I said "my, Kurama you've grown the last time I saw you, you still looks like over grown kit" I said. Despite the lack of lighting I clearly see how big he is now

"Don't call me that I've grown for centuries and turned into a mighty beast and I need to be respect as such, nee-san"

"D'aww look at that, my little Kit now turn into mighty beast~" I said in fake squeal "as your sister figure, you don't know how proud I am~" as I said that word in a sing song voice I could've swear I heard him muttered 'Kill me now'

"Mother you know the Kyuubi?" I look toward Naruto with confusion and curiosity mixed on his face

"Of course, my little drake, in fact he's like my little brother of some sort" I said as I ruffle his head before turning back to Kurama "Kurama I have a favour to ask" I said in serious tone

In my early visit in this realm, I have not only learned how to use chakra but also bond with the tailed beasts they like younger siblings to me and I like their big sister figure. A lot of things happened back then one of them forced me to bring them to my continent –before it christened into New Helghan- to shelter them from power hungry humans before I continue my journey

And they like a family member to me I'm the headed of the family and they are the members of the family. So, when I said in serious tone they knew it's a real deal

"What is it?"

"I want you to help me with my child here Kurama"

"Me? Why me? Not to be rude but, if this about Jinchurikki power it's useless I can't grant him anything!"

"You don't have to, Kurama, all I ask is to be his partner for spar for his Taijutsu inside his mind and be his friend"

"Again why me? Didn't the race you lead now have enough suitable person to train him? Heck, I saw through his mind link what your masked servants could do and right now compared to me who's locked behind this goddamn seal stripped from my own chakra your servant have much more potential to train the gaki than me"

"That may be true but… it's not like they trapped inside his mind and spend his/her time lazing around with nothing to do… right?" I smirked mischievously "I mean I need to prepare my son and daughters physically AND mentally for Naruto's case I need you here to evaluate his progress from day-to-day and become his friend, is that too much to ask?" I said keeping my smirk on

"You just want to make work my ass off didn't you?" Kurama deadpanned

"Language Kurama~ there's a child here~ or I'll prepare my 'especially made costumes' just for you to wear~" I said in a sweet sing song voice as I let some of my power flowing out from my body and engulfed the area with thin black miasma while keeping it away from Naruto

I saw him yelped in fear before sighing in defeat "fine I'll do it, it's getting boring anyway in here… I agreed to your dema… I mean offers but I want something in return" I smiled as I retract my power back

"Now that's Kurama I know, always helping and understanding others. Name your terms and considered it done"

*Flashback end*

His terms is not something outrageous like demanding souls or something like that he only want a change scenery of Naruto mindscape which is Naruto easily changed much to Kurama delight.

Moving to another matter, I've also told by Naruto he had activated his mother… former mother ability to use chakra chains. I've read it before from his former family scroll these chains are capable to bind their target chakra and thus neutralising the targets, creating massive durable barrier, even restraining a tailed beast?

Wow… just wow… this is a lot to take in and here I am hearing an ability something that have resemblance to Gleipnir that bind Fenrir but far stronger than the Gleipnir

What?

Gleipnir only bind its target and failed in holding Fenrir… twice, while this… Adamantine Sealing Chains not only bind its target but also neutralised the target ability to fight back, that and the fact it can be used to create a strong and durable barrier made this chakra chains into a force to be reckon with

Combine with its binding and barrier casting, Adamantine Sealing Chains could hold Fenrir for millennia even forever! Why the god from Norse Mythology didn't invent something revolutionary like this before? But then again seeing Odin's attitude I already have the answer:

The Pervy Bastard was too busy ogling women body rather than doing something productive

In my opinion, despite being a god-killer creature Fenrir in many ways inferior to the Tailed Beasts. Which is stronger? A creature armed with arrays of God-Killing Fang and claw combine with fast movement and agility or chakra beasts that cannot be killed armed with God-level chakra-powered attack where it can send anything to where kingdom's come with an explosion radius is bigger and I mean BIGGER than Mount Everest height and width alike? And it can be fired several times before needing to recharge or simply let them cover the area with Bijudama beam in single discharge

You decide.

~Ouroboros~

I couldn't understand why their parents/Clan/Teacher decide to neglect/banish the poor little drakes they are a perfect shinobi every elemental could ask for yet they decide to torment them and damn them to a worst fate than death

How could they banished a Taijutsu expert like Hinata just because she disgust the idea of hurting the people she love?

How could they neglect and ignore a Genjutsu *Cough*Goddess*Cough* just because she hold a malicious entity instead of helping and give her support?

And how could they neglect, ignore, beat, shun, and oppress the probably strongest an all-rounder Shinobi just because his parents 'good' intention…

No, how could they condemned their child to a fate that is not his to save his twin? Yondaime Hokage is a fool, he's the leader of his village yet he submitted to civilian's petty demand.

See? This is why you shouldn't lead a village filled with Shinobi/Kunoichis and greedy civilians with a democracy at this era would be proven disastrous IF you give them too many freedom

And they made no efforts to –at least- comfort his son? Some parents you are

"Well no matter their loss, our gain" I said offhandedly. Then I looked at the pile of paperwork in front of me with exasperated sigh I begin signing the document "how come there's endless of this thing?"

Well no matter at least the paper is shinobi-related documents not something ridiculous like building a mall, Building Rap café, water park discount ticket, desert sand sailing attraction for attracting tourist, and proposal for making great monument with explosive clay

…

And for some reason I could sense every Kage from every Hidden village is sneezing right now

***NYH***

Radec Shinobi Academy

Third Person POV

Sometimes later

Naruto, Yakumo, and Hinata stood proudly in front of the Academy. They just finished the graduation ceremony and received their armbands that signifying they are now a part the Empire

They finally become a Shinobi of New Helghan Empire all of their hard work finally paid off

Unlike elemental nation's academy system the graduation age is fifteen. At first the Autarch want to make it just like the elemental but she realised that she will create an army of shinobi who will responsible in act of killing and she drilled the teacher at the academy to teach them the moral and the consequences of being a shinobi who sooner or later will involve in this act. So that's why she raised the graduation age

"For years I've been waiting for this moment, finally…" Yakumo wipe a trickle of tears from her eyes. She grow into a beautiful young woman she stood 5"7' in height, her hair is still the same, and her body now have a curve, with sizable bust.

However, her most of her figure were covered behind the Helghast standard KCU (Kunoichi Combat Uniform). The uniform was created not only to provide protection from head-to-toe from hazardous material but it also functions to… 'conceal certain area' of women body with modified storage seals hoping to not only keep their beauty but also to give them more room to perform combat maneuver more freely knowing that sometimes women's… 'assets' can be 'a slight obstacle' for those who weren't used to hand-to-hand combat. The uniform however still hug her figures greatly but the chest area shaped into a simply B-cup size look. The uniform also comes with utility bag to store scrolls or other utility tools and kunai/shuriken pouch strapped at both side of the thighs

"Me too Yakumo-chan, no annoying civilians to dampen our progress and beat us to pulp I never imagine this day would come, Dattebayo" said Naruto with a smile on his face

Naruto also grew into fine young man now stood 5"8' in height, he let some part of his hair grew now with bangs covering the sides of his face, his body now toned with muscles thanks to the training he received from their teacher/mother

He's wearing Helghast standard SCU (Shinobi Combat Uniform) it's a standard uniform for shinobi who held the rank from Genin to Chunin. The SCU composed of composite armour protecting his torso and back and several armour plating to almost every important regions of his body. Even the helmet have a slight armour plating. Like its counterpart there's utility bag and Kunai/Shuriken pouches

"Yeah, they thought we are weak and nothing but a punching bag but now look where we standing" but the one who changed the most was Hinata gone her shy personality rise her confident personality

She's wearing the same uniform like Yakumo, standing around 5"6' in height, she also let her hair grown to her back while keeping the bang as hime style –if one could see clearly there's still a traced of green ink on her forehead-, and have body structure like Yakumo with her figure hidden thanks to the uniform

"Yeah… and now we are officially the Shinobi/Kunoichi of the Empire" Naruto grinned happily "come on, don't just stand around" Naruto stated as he put his helmet-gas mask on with the 'eyes' shone to life with eerie reddish-orange light "The Autarch waiting for us"

Autarch Sanctum later

The trio Hyoudou-Gremory teens –now with their helmets on- arrived at the Ouroboros Palace. They were message by the Autarch personally to come over as she mention about their weapons. Normally, every Shinobis that graduated from the academy will use standard issue High-Frequency Blade as their main weapon

But every high-standing family in New Helghan use different design of weapon usually specially made to suit their combat needs

And Naruto, Yakumo, Hinata need to look they part of it

They are the children of the Autarch Ophis after all

Passing through the Ghost ANBU guard they arrived at their destination and were greeted by smiling Ophis "Ah you're here"

"""My Autarch""" the trio held their fist and bow formally greeting to the Autarch to which Ophis return the gesture by nodding her head

"Is this about our weapons?" Naruto asked

"Yes correct, as we talk right now I already mention Chairman Stahl volunteered to deliver your weapons here personally, all we need to do now is waiting for…" her speech were interrupted when a figure step in into her sanctum

It's a man around thirties with short white hair. He's wearing black two pieces business suit and a pair of gloves, strapped behind him is a large sealing Scroll

"Am I late?" the man asked

"No, in fact you're just in time, Chairman Stahl" this is Jorhan Stahl current CEO of Stahl Arms. Despite being in his 90 but physically he's still looks in his mid-thirty it's all thanks to Ophis. Thirty years ago after they settling on this planet, Ophis quickly check the Helghast immune system, the terracide happened in Helghan is a massive catastrophe that lead Helghan no longer habitable and judging from the after-effect of the terracide there's a chance for her beloved people for possible sickness

They exposed to the Irradiated Petrusite radiation after all

Responding to this Ophis created a special potions for the people of Helghan. This potion design not only used to negate the radiation effect and open the chakra pathway system inside the Helghast, but it also revitalize their body and maximize their functions allowing the Helghast to live longer than their 'un-evolved counterpart'

Those who got exposed by the radiation will simply heal, opened their chakra pathway, have a longer live, and the radiation toxic will gone

However, those who fortunate enough not to be exposed to the radiation not only they got those perks but also another benefits by de-aging. Jorhan was supposed to be on his wheel chair at his actual age being 90 year-old man but thanks to Ophis now he stood tall and healthy with no wrinkles on his face and looks in his prime time

"Ah good, I thought I was late because I had… traffic problems earlier" he sighed in relieve

The Autarch raise an eyebrow "traffic problems? You could've used Body Flicker Technique to get here quickly so why wasting your time to get here by using a car?"

Jorhan shivered a little he was about to answer but luckily Ophis cut him off "You know what? Let's talk about it later. We have another matter to attend" The CEO sighed in relieved "So, where's the weapons?"

Unstrapping his large scroll, Jorhan place it on the ground before unfurl it revealing intricate seals drawn in the scroll. Taking few step back, Jorhan proceed to form several hand seals "Seal Release" as soon as said that, plume of smoke littered the area covering the area

When the smoke is cleared every audiences in the room could see three crates with Stahl Arms Logo on it. One crate is around a metre in length, the other were shorter but have more width than the former, while the last one is practically the biggest of all of the crates

"Okay, first is Genin PFC (Private First Class) Hinata Hyoudou-Gremory, please step forward" He gestured Hinata to him as he lifted the second crate and opens it "Hinata under the Autarch's order I present to you, your personal weapon the twin Kodachi" he said

Hinata took one of the blade and unsheathe it and inspect them. The blade is beautiful it has the same metallic grey colour with silver edges like the standard blade what makes it beautiful though were seals that drawn on it. There's a seal with that elongated through the blade, the seal is also drawn in a manner of fire and lightning movement

"Wow, I must say this is one piece of work, Thank you Mr. Chairman" Hinata bow to the CEO

"Hey, don't thank me Hinata, give those thanks to the one who forged it I just draw the seals"

"Then could you please send my regards to them?"

"Why not give your regards to the forger right now, she's sitting behind that desk" The CEO points at the Autarch's desk where the trio member of Hyoudou-Gremory household look at their smiling step-mother

"Mo-, I mean My Autarch you made our weapons?" Hinata asked voicing out the other thoughts

"Well, of course my dear Hinata" Ophis smiled "I specially forged your weapons with my own hands and to ensure my little drakes wield weapons that worthy for them"

"Uh… not to be ungrateful but wouldn't that be showing favouritism, My Autarch?" Yakumo asked

"Would it be showing favouritism? Of course not! Every high-ranking Shinobi in New Helghan Empire has a tradition to forge their own son and daughter weapon and I intended to do the same to you" Ophis happily replied "besides, I need to make my forging skill in top notch by forging your own weapon"

The trio honorary Helghast if anything is surprised but they are in the presence of the Autarch and thus concealing their joy. The trio felt happy to know their step-mother would go such length to help them in their career

"As heart-warming this moment, can we continue?" Jorhan said regaining their attention

"Okay, Hinata I drew this seals to amplify the effect of nature chakra you channel to the Kodachis. Channel fire chakra to it, the Kodachis will set ablaze by fire. Channel lightning chakra to the blade it will covered with lightning Chakra but since lightning is not my affinity, I can't predict what would happen and that's for you to find out"

"Thank you Mr. Chairman and thank you my Autarch" Hinata bow respectively before taking the other Kodachi and strap both of them at her sides

"Your welcome my dear/Hinata" Ophis and Jorhan said

Hinata retreat with her friends and the CEO called another name "Genin PFC Yakumo Hyoudou-Gremory please step forward"

Yakumo step forward to the CEO. Jorhan opened the largest crate revealing a folded weapon, a large quiver and arrays of scroll with different colour, red and blue "I hereby present to you, your Bow" with a strong jerk, the bow unfolded with a loud *CLACK* showing it's true form with seals drawn on it

Yakumo inspect the bow. The colour is mostly black with red lining and the handle being white. It has the size of a long-bow but it has the shape of Recurve bow, the arrow rest is adjustable and the sight…

"Hybrid sight?"

"Well, you tend to fight long-range so I thought 'hey, why not giving her advantage in extreme range' so I attached that sight for you. Also like Hinata, Chairman Stahl also drew the seal to your bow it amplify the power of the arrow as well as coat it with your chakra affinities"

Yakumo smiles "I see, can I see the arrows?" Jorhan quickly take each one of the scroll. And quickly unseal both of the content

When the smoke is clear Yakumo widened her eyes at the arrows. The arrow from the blue scroll is a modern silver-broadhead tip, it glow menacingly ready to pierce its target heart but what make her surprised is the arrow from the red scroll, the arrow as a whole is noticeably larger and the arrowhead… she don't know if it an arrowhead or a spearhead or lance since it's too big to be consider as arrowhead (Monster Hunter's arrowhead size)

"I see you're shocked"

"Well of course I'm shocked! The arrowhead is… ridiculous! What do expect me to kill with this spear? Sea Monster?"

"Well… I encountered human with that type of arrowhead before to hunt monster so… why not? It also works to spread terror in battlefield." the Autarch respond "and I figured you need a close range weapon with better reach than the Kunai, you can use the arrow as cutting weapon too or for harpooning should you got stranded on an island"

And then the white hair CEO add his point "the Overkill arrowhead –as I called it- have enough space for me to draw seal on it. The seal I draw, is some kind of hybrid between storage seal and launcher seal so you can store Kunai with explosive and/or lightning singularity tag or senbon inside the seal, in mid-flight the seal will launch its contents to the unfortunate target bellow them raining death upon them or you could just simply perform piercing shot using its massive arrowhead"

Yakumo inspect the Bow and Arrow one last time and stare at the glowing arrowheads

"Thank you, My Autarch, Mr. Chairman" Yakumo bow to her leader/mother and the CEO

"Your welcome my dear/Yakumo"

Folding and putting the arrow and the quiver to her back and store the scrolls to her utility pack Yakumo retreat back to her friends before the last name being call "and last but not the least, Genin Sergeant Major Naruto Hyoudou-Gremory please step forward" Naruto step forward with a smile on his face "I hereby present your weapon" The CEO open the last crate to reveal a sheathed Katana

Naruto took the Katana and inspect it the sheathe more or less have the same design like the Colonel have, trigger-like at the mouth of the scabbard for immediately launches the katana forward for quick withdraw "I designed the scabbard to be similar like the Colonel's since you used the same style in quick draw style. And like Hinata and Yakumo's weapon I draw elongated seals on your blade to amplify elemental chakra you channel to the blade but yours is a bit frustrating since you have all the element affinities that it takes every space available on your Katana" the CEO explained earning a nod from Genin

Naruto pull his sword out and inspect it, unlike most standard issue StA01 High-Frequency blade his blade look more intimidating. Eerie Jet-black colour with silver edges and seals adorned his blade

"Such fine craftsmanship"

"Indeed my child, indeed" Ophis muse "I also put some effort on the security system"

"Security system?"

"Yes Naruto, I put another effort to customize and put a security system in your sword along with Hinata's Kodachis and Yakumo's bow. But before I explain further, please open your gloves"

They didn't question her and release a glove "now hold your weapons again at the grip or hilt" they held their weapons before a small purplish infinity-shape Ouroboros magic circle appear floating above their hands for a few second before quickly dissipate

"What was that?" Naruto curiously asked

"That my dear, is a special addition to your weapon, a security system that will always detect its user DNA and only allow its user to wield it other than that, the security system will active and trust me it's not pretty" Ophis explained "should your weapons fall into enemy hand, your Kodachis and Bow will produce a high-voltage electricity that zap them and paralyse them, while the Katana will spring four small retractable blade from the hilt that can easily slice through flesh and bone, imagine how nasty it is"

The trio honorary New Helghan Shinobi nod in understanding as they observe their weapons once more. Naruto inspect the hilt to see four small compartments and he can see the small blades ready to slice the weapon stealer's hand

"Thank you for the weapons My Autarch and thank you Gramps"

"Oi don't call me that you brat, I maybe in my nineties but I'm still walking and still capable of kicking your butt" The CEO retorted

"Doesn't change the fact that you're old enough to retire, old man" Naruto said with a goofy smile under his mask

"I'm back in my prime time, now more capable taking control of my company while punching through some bastards with my fists, brat" the CEO said

"Yeah, yeah keep tell yourself that, gramps" Naruto said dismissively while the de-age CEO scoffed "but in all seriousness thank you, Mr. Chairman and you too My Autarch" he repeat his gratitude

""You're welcome my dear/Naruto""

And with that Naruto put his katana to his side and retreat back in line with his friends "okay now that's out of the way, I'll send your information about your team to your PDA their location should be in the info" Ophis pull out her PDA and tap it several time sending the information to their PDA

Receiving a ring from their own PDA the trio honorary Helghast check their own PDA (1) before looking at their leader "thank you my Autarch we'll be going now" giving a bow to her they start to leave the Sanctum with their weapons on their side toward their squad leader.

"So... I have business to attend to but uh, it's still not for another hour so… can I stay in your library, my Autarch? To hid- I mean, to study?"

Ophis raised an eyebrow at the nervous CEO before something clicked in her mind "let me guess, fangirls?"

Her guess seems to hit the mark as the CEO start to rant in anger "Well of course it's about that mob monster classified as Fan-fucking-Girls! Do you know how much time I spend to run away from that freak of nature?! Two hours! Two-Freakin'-hours I was taking easy stroll around the block to buy some coffee before the female Barista start squealing and rally the army of that freaks and chase me for twenty blocks NON-STOP! And even with the assistance of Body Flicker they managed to catch up on me IN A MATTER OF SECOND! WITHOUT THE USAGE OF CHAKRA! And don't forget the fact that-"

As the CEO keep ranting on his unfortunate fate, Ophis just let a sigh escape her lips as she listen his ranting ignoring the swearing and just stare at him

'Well at the very least you able to avoid them' Ophis thought as she pull a cup of glass and a bottle of Mountain Dew and fill the glass with the Dew

'Though I wouldn't blame him for his good looks after de-aging I mean, who wouldn't date a tall, strong, good looking, have an 'athletic' body, smart, and richer version of Vali Lucifer?' Ophis thought as she took a sip of her favourite soda as she keeps listening to the CEO ranting

'This may take a while'

***NYH***

Radec Shinobi Academy's rooftop

With Naruto and co.

Third POV

The rooftop of the academy is quite spacious with open space

During training day this is a perfect place to train using jutsu that required open space like wind jutsu or lightning jutsu but during the break this is a perfect place for lunch and meditating

Right now Naruto leaning on the railings while checking is PDA with the girls sitting on a nearby bench checking their respective weapon

"Well that's convenient, instead of gathering us in a meeting hall and announce our team, they give us the location of our squad leader and his lieutenants through PDA" Naruto comment as he scrolled down his PDA to confirm the location of their senior members

"The Autarch announced the system three decades ago, that way she can giving mission more effectively rather than letting one squad after another entering the Sanctum for mission and handle scroll after scroll" Hinata commented as she measuring her HF Kodachis

"Convenient alright, so where's our squad leader?" Yakumo asked as she put several arrows to her quiver "this is an official meeting for team emplacement I really hope our commander not that kind of person who use the lamest of the lamest reason ever created to excuse himself" somewhere in konoha a certain silver-hair masked shinobi sneeze

"That's something I rather not use to make first impression on my men, especially freshmen" a typical muffled voice can be heard across their location.

The trio freshmen snap their attention to wear the voices in front of them. They can see three figure appear before them two male and one female

The first male is rather tall around 6"1'. He's wearing uniform that is looks like Ghost ANBU's Uniform complete with the helmet and body armour except in black around his hands is seems to be gauntlets covering from his lower arm to his wrists

The female is shorter but still taller than the trio. She stood around 5"9' wearing different type of uniform -unlike standard- Kunoichi Combat uniform. Her uniform consists of plated gray armor, black straps, navy blue limb guards and like the black ANBU she's wearing a gauntlets, her head and neck are covered by a red cloth, and combat boots. Overall her armour looks like female version of Helghast Shinobi Combat uniform

Last but not the least, a bald tall male with strong built body standing around 6"3'. He's not wearing a helmet instead he wear black gas-mask with glowing red google, he also wear black armour covering his torso, black gloves, ash-grey-coloured combat pants, and kneepads. Most of his feature were covered by black overcoat

"Genin of the New Helghan Empire reporting for duty!" the fresh Genins quickly drop whatever they're doing and salute/bow to their squad leader and the senior officers

"At ease, Genin, we are not on duty right now, so no need to be formal right now" the bald man said

"I'm sorry sir, but we really couldn't help it since we're just graduate to become what we always dreamed on" Naruto replied

"That's understandable, we also like you when we were younger" the hooded Kunoichi said with a smile

"…" the black ANBU nod in agreement

"Okay let's start with some introduction tell us your name, rank, like, dislike, combat specialty, and dream. Let start with you, Sergeant" the bald man said

Straighten up himself Naruto introduce himself "My name is Naruto Hyoudou-Gremory. I'm Genin with the rank of Sergeant Major. I like, Yakumo and Hinata, training, learning about Fuinjutsu, practising my Kenjutsu, gardening, my favourite food is Ramen, throwing prank if possible and hard worker people. My dislikes are, certain family, pre-judgement fools who can't tell the difference between Kunai and kunai sealed inside sealing scroll. My combat specialties revolve on the usage of Kenjutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu and chakra chains. My dream… I haven't thought about it but maybe I want to be the next Autarch" Naruto declared

That got the attention of the senior officer. Two of the Officer smile underneath their mask while the female officer smile can be seen directly

'Dreaming big already, eh?' the bald Jonin thought "that's great, I just hope I'm still around to see that happen" Naruto smile underneath his helmet from his commander praise "okay next, you" he point at Yakumo

Straighten up herself Yakumo introduce herself "my name is Yakumo Hyoudou-Gremory. I'm Genin with the rank of Private First Class. My likes are, Naruto and Hinata, training, painting, invent new type of Genjutsu attack, spring roll and curry rice is my favourite food. My dislikes are… quitter who wouldn't bother to try. My combat specialty mostly revolves around my Genjutsu and long-range attack either with Chakra, Magic, or my bow. My dream… being a Kunoichi is enough for me but for longer run… I want to be the best Genjutsu user in the world"

Her dream also made the senior officer smile 'this girl is also big dreamer' "I hope you can fulfilled it Private, you got a long way to go" Yakumo smile at the praise "and you" he point at the last Genin

Like the other two, Hinata straighten up herself "my name is Hinata Hyoudou-Gremory. I'm Genin with the rank of Private First Class. My likes are Naruto and Yakumo, training, sharpening my prowess in Taijutsu, reading and learning, my favourite food is Cinnamon Buns. My dislike is an oppressive and abusive clan who prefer power and prestige over everything else." That sentence alone caused the senior officer to snap at Hinata but keep quiet "my specialty revolves around close-range combat where I can use my Taijutsu and Kodachis to maximum effectiveness and I can be a sensor-nin too. My dream is… having a family where my children can live peacefully and treat equally without being enslaved to other family member"

The senior officers frown at her dreams not because her noble goal rather about the enslaving part that got them the most, The bald Jonin were about to ask but something tells him not to

"I… see…" he said "nevertheless, I hope the best for your dream, Hinata"

"Thank you, Commander" Hinata replied kindly

'Okay so I got the Autarch's children. One is an all-rounder shinobi and drive to become her successor. One, is a long range fighter like Maya and driven to become the best Genjutsu caster. And, the last one is a close-range fighter like Malcolm and… want to have peaceful life… without being oppressed' the squad leader

"You're welcome. Okay, now allow us introduce ourselves" he said as he pat the Kunoichi's shoulder

"Alright, my name is Maya Visari. I'm a chunin with the rank of 2nd lieutenant. My likes are not so many only training and reading, I also like a cup of hot tea to accompany my reading. My dislikes… I have no dislike at the moment. My specialty are long-range combat utilizing my Senbon launcher, Ninjutsu and I have great aptitude in close-range combat" she tapped her gauntlets suggestively "my dream is keeping the peace we have today" she finished with a smile

"Okay next is… uh, could you help him, Maya?"

"Sure thing" Maya look toward the black ANBU sending meaningful look to which he replied with a nod "Okay, first thing he's Malcolm Bediverie Visari, my adopted little brother. He's a chunin and like me, he's a 2nd lieutenant He's… a mute… but please don't judge him okay?"

"Don't worry we won't"

"Glad to hear it Naruto. Okay, his like usually reading like me and tinkering with machinery. Rarely dislike something. His specialty is close-range combat utilizing his Taijutsu and-" she was cut off courtesy by her mute brother. He raise her hand to her and made few hand signs

Understanding his intention Maya let his brother "Okay then, go ahead"

Malcolm turn toward the trio genin. He curled his hands to a fist and from each of his gauntlets a dual-blade extended from his upper wrist. It have eerie aura as the blade itself is serrated and have 18 inches length ready. Like most Helghast blades, it have black colour and silver edges.

"Cool, wrist blades" Naruto commented and the other Genins also nod in fascination

Retracting his wrist blade, the mute Helghast then flick his wrists extending a single blade from lower wrist from each of his gauntlets "and hidden blades? What are you, Assassin?"

Underneath his mask the mute shinobi smile and made a hand sign to communicate with the young Genin

|No, just Shinobi of New Helghan Empire| Naruto who was taught to understand hand sign understood him completely

"I see, what about your dream?" Naruto asked

|my dream is not much different than my sister. Hope we can get along| he gestured

"Yeah hope we can get along" Naruto offer his hand to which the mute shinobi respond by shaking it before both of them release it and move to the last person

"Okay, now last but not the least, me" the bald Shinobi straighten himself "my name is Anton Saric. I'm a Jonin with the rank of Captain."

"Wait. Saric? Aren't you one of the eighteen shinobi who saved us back then?" Hinata asked in realization

Responding to her, Anton release his mask revealing his face to them "I'm glad you remember, thought you forgot about me already"

"No we will never forget you, especially you and your friends for saving us back in the forest of Land of Fire and for that we were grateful" Yakumo said

"Your welcome" he said with a smile "anyway, I like training, drinking coffee, and more. I dislike things like human with greed in their heart. My specialty revolves around Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, and my personal favourite Torture & Interrogation. My dreams is probably impossible, I want to see Helghan our birth planet once again in its former glory" Anton finished as he wear his mask back

"Okay now that we know each other. We welcome you three into Dragonet squad. Let me remind you something back in the academy and this will be our own squad's rules: During a mission we will call our squad mates with codename/rank and you are forbidden to call each other with name, we are shinobi and shinobi work in the dark. We value secrecy over infamy. Is that acceptable to you?" Anton asked in seriousness

The trio Genin give a bow to their superior officer """Yes, Captain!"""

"Good, now with that gone how about a mission sounds to you?"

***NYH***

Hours later

Western region of New Helghan, coastal area

It's been hours since their team introduction and accepting a simple D-rank mission. Unlike elemental mission ranking system, D-rank in New Helghan is equivalent of elemental's C-rank mission and that's is including escort, providing security in the city, or the heaviest duty is border patrol but taken place in New Helghan while the higher the rank taking place in Elemental continent

Dragonet squad has accepted mission from their Autarch to do routine patrol in the Western coast of New Helghan

And right now, the Dragonet squad almost at the end of their duty taking a rest a bit on top of a lighthouse

"Captain, can I ask something?" Naruto asked his squad leader

"Go ahead Dragonet 4" the squad leader said using his codename

"Why we immediately pulled into active duty? Not that we're ungrateful but aren't there supposed to be a test or something to weed out those who can't see underneath the underneath?" Naruto asked curiously

"Dragonet 4, we don't need to weed out our force like that, maybe that how things goes in Hidden Leaf but in New Helghan, our Genin graduation test is more… qualified in determining whether one is strong, perceptive, smart, or competent enough to serve the Empire" he said "I mean you, Dragonet 5 and 6 did an amazing feats during the test"

Unlike every major ninja village in Elemental continent, the Genin Graduation test in New Helghan demand the Shinobi/Kunoichi candidates to be creative, perceptive, and observant their awareness will be put on edge as the test taken place in the rain forest of Southern region of New Helghan with many dangerous animal, dangerous terrain, and there's Jonin and Chunin will hunt you relentlessly.

The goal is simple:

Survive days by any means necessary.

Your armament/equipment/supplies:

A single Kunai

An ink brush and small bottle of ink

One blank scroll for Fuinjutsu usage

Duration of the test:

Depends on the Autarch decision

There certain area with weapons and supplies for them to use but the area will always be guarded by Jonin/Chunins, near a cliff or any dangerous terrain, the area is sealed by Fuinjutsu/hidden by Genjutsu layered or not or worst: all of the above

The test will forced the 160 Genin candidates to use their Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Fuinjutsu, and Kenjutsu and/or something else like archery. Their information gathering ability, tracking skill, wild life knowledge and their camaraderie will be put to test too. They need to work as a team to survive the test otherwise they won't survive the wilderness of the Southern region of New Helghan and that's not counting their proctor/hunter hunting them and will stop at nothing to get them

Usually, most candidates would hide, procure weapons and supplies and secured it away, and avoiding contact with their hunters and wild animals. But the latest Genin graduation test has been a trending topic among the Empire military personnel namely the Autarch's adopted children

Naruto, he rallied the candidates and raised the morale among them and executed a coordinated perfect stealth raids on several area looting the weapons and supplies leaving the Chunins and the Jonins guarding the area wondering how they slip through their defences while keeping the seals intact

And why they woke up with their uniform painted pink?

Hinata, she managed to take down 25 Chunin and Jonin combined in a Taijutsu standoff when one of Naruto's Stealth raid attempt went south. She displayed a complete mastery over Baguazhang and and took them down in record time too, her victims ended up with bruising, broken jaw, dislocated joints, and wounded pride

Yakumo, she showed perfect marksmanship in archery during the test several Chunins got hit from her arrow from the range of almost over 700 metre surpassing her best record nothing fatal though, but enough to make several of the Chunins into edge and trapping them in her Genjutsu world

At the end of the test the three of them earned the title of the Rookie of The Year for turning the battle into their favour, spearheading a perfect stealth raid, showing exceptional skills as Shinobi and more. This also the first time in three decades all of the candidates graduate with perfect marks in every shinobi aspects (Nin/Tai/Gen/Ken/Fuinjutsu)

"We just do what comes what we thought necessary sir" Hinata said politely

"Don't be like that Dragonet 6, you three did amazingly during the test and it's been trending topic in the military. Do you know how many Jonin want you three on their squad after the acts you pulled during the test? Hundreds. Me, being the lucky one to have you three under my command" t2he bald Shinobi said

"Well, aren't you lucky sir?" Yakumo said

"No we are not also lucky but honoured to have you three on our squad, Dragonet 5" Dragonet 2 or Maya added "having you three on our squad is great honour given by the Autarch to us" behind her Dragonet 3 or Malcolm nod in agreement

Hearing Maya statement caused the fifth and sixth member of the squad to groaned "could you please don't start the crap about we're honourable son/daughters? I know we're the Autarch's children but we are shinobi too who fought on the battlefield so can we ask you to address us like any other shinobi? We had enough of that crap from the civilians" Yakumo pinched her bridge

As Hinata and Yakumo chatting with their seniors, Naruto was taking his time staring into the ocean 'seven years… I wonder what happen in Hidden Leaf after I left that place. What event undergo right now in that place?' Naruto wonder the civilians no doubt would celebrate his absence by throwing a massive party on the street or something

'What feeling homesick already, Gaki?'

'…You kidding me? Why would I get a homesick? New Helghan is my home now better than that cesspool of a village Naruto thought back

'I know you would say that, and I have to admit this is paradise for us, Bijuu, to live' Kurama said 'and to think I'm back to this place… it's feel like dream comes true'

'Yeah… this place is better in many way surpassed those in elementals'

'Yes, and the fact that Onee-san managed to keep peace in this continent is a plus for New Helghan' Kurama said 'anyway, the reason I'm talking to you right now is because I detected several negative emotions to the north of your location'

That got Naruto attention as he ask the beast in serious tone 'really? Can you tell me more about it?'

'It's faint, but there's a lot of it. If my experience is correct I say… they are bandits… elemental bandits'

Elemental bandits? How did they…

'Are you sure Kurama?'

'Yes, I'm dead-sure. It's faint because it's not they are shinobi who can conceal their emotion but rather it is the negative feeling that most bandit would produce' hearing Kurama's explanation Naruto quickly cut-off his connection with the tailed beast but not before leaving a sign of gratitude 'thanks'

'No Problem'

"Captain!" Naruto turn to his Commanding Officer "we have a situation, Elemental bandits have acquired footing on our land!"

His senior officer and his friends turn to him giving him a look "Sergeant, while I know you're excited for action I appreciate it if you're not making this up" Saric said

"No, I do not making this up. Someone told me that he detected several low-intensity negative emotion two-clicks to the North and judging from the intensity they are elemental bandits" Naruto argued

"Sergeant, listen, I don't want to listen if this half-assed excuse for action and who tol…" his word were cut-off as the Captain of the team look at Naruto who lightly tap his stomach three times

Anton of course get this gesture, he already been told by the Autarch that, her son has a tailed-beast soul inside his body and the beast capabilities one of them is Negative emotion sensing. So seeing this gesture he concluded that the fox try help them by informing this

His simple gesture also immediately understood by every member of the team

"I see…" Anton scratch contemplating their next action "Okay, team break is over listen up, according to Dragonet 4 we have intruder on our beach, we do not know if this is true or not but we're going to check it anyway to be sure so grab your gear and move out" with that Six Helghast Shinobi disappear in a Body Flicker Technique

Minutes later

"What the hell?"

"How in the hell? How did they get passed our sky patrol?" Maya wondered out loud

"You're right Dragonet 4, they already set a footing in this part of the beach" Dragonet 5 or Yakumo said as their squad observing the camp filled with bandits. Several metres to the coast they can see a large ship landed on the beach

"Dragonet 6, can you tell how many are there" Anton ordered

Making a single hand seal, Dragonet 6 or Hinata activate her Byakugan "there's dozens of them I can't give accurate detail"

"I see… 2,3,4,6 you with me to confirm their purpose of…visit. 5 you take position over that rock formation it should give you good vantage point" he point toward a high rock formation near the camp. Yakumo nod to him before leaving in a swirl of leaves leaving them to face the bandits

***NYH***

The Helghast trying to be civil in the talk but the damn bandit just being aggressive and persistent they claimed this island belong to them in the name of their employer

"Look sir, we already told you this land is ours. We already built our civilizations decades ago and we have a running Government here. You have trespassed our land and therefore we need to asked you to leave or you will have to face the consequences from her majesty" Anton said civilly. Behind him, Naruto, Yakumo, Maya, and Malcolm glaring at the intruders with Maya's red cloth shifted to cover her face but leaving her eyes visible

"And look here you bald-fuck I don't care you're blabbering we found this island and we claim it as ours we have found suitable land for our operations and I don't give a fuck about your Government and their policies" the man who seems to be the leader of this group said rudely behind him is

"Sir, we told you you're trespassing our land and therefore I must ask you to leave or we will have to use force to make our point" the Helghast Captain narrowed his eyes

"Do I have to say it again? I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck. We claimed this island as ours in fact forget your duty and join us for a party we have sake and drugs here" The Bandit said followed by several cheers from his fellow bandit behind him

While the bandits cheer and tempt the Helghast to enjoy with them, a different thoughts were running inside the Helghasts

Drugs? How dare this degenerate fools bring such thing to THEIR Motherland!

"Drugs?" Anton glowered at them folding his hand while secretly grab the hilt of his blade hidden beneath his overcoat

"Yeah, come on it'll be fun we also have bitches to make yourself happy" the bandit leader said again follow by cheers from the other

Slave? They also bring women slave here to fulfil their sick desire?

Unacceptable!

As Anton's subordinates glaring at them, Naruto reach the trigger on his sword, Hinata rest her hand on the hilts of her Kodachis, Malcolm semi-curled his hand, and Maya flexed her finger ready to launch her senbon

"In fact, why don't you allow the females of your group to join? You know what they said: the more the merrier" the leader said as he laugh while the other giggle perversely

'Okay that does it you dickwad not only you had the gal to insult the chancellor's daughter and our Autarch daughter, you want to taint this Nation with drugs. I have enough reason to take you out' the Captain of the squad angrily thought

"You just spell your own demise" Anton growl

"I'm sorry did you say something?" the bandit leader mocked

"Yes have you heard about Radec-Policy?"

That raised a question on the bandits part "Radec-Policy? The fuck is tha-"

*SQUELCH*

His question were left unanswered as an arrow pierced his head the bandit leader's head and fall to the ground with a loud thud with pooling around his head

"H-h-he's dead"

"Kill them!" and with that the bandits brandish their weapon and blindly charging at the Helghast Shinobi squad who in turn ready their respective weapon ready to slay the intruders

"Come on, let's show them why our race means 'Haunting Spirit from Hell'" Anton said as he pulled two black straight sword from his overcoat before slowly walking to the hoard of bandits with the rest of his squad following behind him

When each other sides met the battle turn into a one side fight as the Helghast Shinobi easily handle them without much problem

Naruto-

He quickly pulled the trigger on his blade ejecting his Katana forward hitting his opponent's chin. Naruto quickly grabbed the hilt and use it to diagonally slash the bandit's torso effectively killing the bandit due to the nature of his HF blade.

He look to his right to notice three bandit approaching him he let them get close and let them swing their blade vertically, he simply slash his Katana with a wide arc easily cutting the bandit's Katanas and quickly stab one of them to the heart before pulling a pair of Kunai and throw it to their heads effectively killing them before quickly pulling his sword out and he position his blade behind him and dash backward as he just stabbed another bandit that trying to sneak behind him

Turning around once more he held the hilt tightly with his left arm while his right hand extended creating Rasengan in his right hand before slamming it to his opponent pectoral

"GUUAAHHHH" the Bandit spiralling crashing through the camp

Not stopping there, Naruto Sheath back his blade before summoning his chakra chains from his back. One of the chains grab one of the bandit and start whipping the chain smashing other bandits with it while the others were used to immobilized his targets and/or use it to pierced the bandit with its sharp-tip before start trashing the captured bandit around

Brandishing his blade once more he looks at the bandits who now wary with him and the 'red eyes' help to intimidate them effectively "come on I just getting started, dattebayo" he said as he readied his stance with his chains dance around behind him poised to strike his next target

Hinata-

Hinata quickly pull out her Kodachis and start approaching her target. She begins with slashing her opponent legs and arms unlike Naruto, she focused on disabling and disarming her enemy by immobilizing them

Combine with her footwork Hinata move from one place to another disabling and disarming her targets as possible before finishing by send a chop to their necks knocking them out cold

"That's for interrogation later"

Sheathing her Kodachis Hinata move to the side as she avoid a vertical slash from behind she quickly turn around facing another bandit and preparing another strike

"Fire style: Eight Trigram Sixty-four palm!"shouting out her attack, she let out a blurry sixty-four fiery palm attack enhanced with fire chakra and the result were something she didn't expect

"Darn, need to tone it down" she frowned as she saw her victim now burnt but still twitching from her Nin-Taijutsu attack

For the bandits the start cowering in fear, they just witness a 'demon Kunoichi' brutally killed their partner with flaming palm and left him with nothing but scorched wound, thoughts were buzzing in their head wondering 'how could this happened?'.

Utilising their fear, Hinata brandish her blades once more one blade aim high to the sky while the other aim toward them "So, are you ready for round two… Scum?"

Yakumo-

"Ara? Dragonet 6 that's one hell of attack" Yakumo said as she observe the battle on going from the highest rock formation via her hybrid sight. Yakumo were stationed here with several arrow were placed on the ground including the Overkill type arrow she's been picking bandits from afar as well as giving covering fire for her team

"Hmm… that one trying to sneaking tactic" she muttered. Taking one simple arrow, she put her arrow on the arrow rest pulling the string and

*THWACK*

Through her Hybrid Sight, she could see her arrow pierced the bandit head and now drop lifeless on the ground "Another score for me"

[5 do you read me over?]

Yakumo reach her radio and reply "5 here something the matter 6? Over"

[I spotted several bandits from the ship it looks like their trying fire they arrow on us can you take them out?]

Turning her gaze toward the ship she could see several bandits readied their bow and arrow to fire at her squad mates "I see them. I'll take care of them"

[Be advised, there may be slaves on that ship so explosive arrow is out of question] another feminine voice speak up from the radio

"Understood lieutenant"

Putting her radio away Yakumo picking one of the Overkill arrow she repeat her action and fire the oversized arrow toward the bandits "let's see what this arrow could do"

*THWACK*

The arrow flew in incredible speed toward the bandits as if breaking the sound barrier when the arrow just about few metre from its target, as if on slow motion, the seals on the arrowhead glows before launching kunai barrage at its target turning them into a man pincushion riddled with Kunai

The arrow itself embed deep into one of the bandit who pinned into one of the ship's mast blood dripping from his stomach with sizable hole on his body

Yakumo who saw what the Overkill arrow could do letting her jaw dropped "wow… no wonder Chairman Stahl call this arrow 'Overkill' and I didn't even enhance it with chakra"

Reaching her radio she inform her squad mates [Target eliminated. Engaging other targets]

Malcolm and Maya-

"Roger that Dragonet 5" Maya replied through the radio. Focusing back to the battle at hand. A bandit tried to cut her mid-section but red-cloth Helghast jump high before landing on top of her assailant's shoulders

She snaked around the bandit's neck before throwing the bandit off balance to the ground strangle the bandit with her leg and

*SNAP*

With resounding snap the bandit lay dead with his neck broken. Maya quickly aim her gauntlets to her side and launch her senbons to the bandits who approach her from beside her each with deadly precision as their head now pierced by her senbon

Pulling out her Kunais, Maya dash forward toward another group of bandit brandishing it with lightning and wind chakra on her right and left hand respectively.

"AARGHH!" as she finished plowing through the bandit the result is several bandits with deep cuts on the bandits and several severed limbs

However, she felt to notice another bandit approaching -with his blade held high in the air- behind her she noticed this but before she could react, a pair of serrated blade pierced the bandit from his back the bandit then held in the air before brutally slam to the ground the perpetrator is no one except the female lieutenant adopted brother

"Thanks" the mute lieutenant responded by unsheathing his wrist blades before held both of his forward and flick his wrists and instantly launch his hidden blades and hit two bandits behind his sister

Not stopping his action, he turns around materializing two windmill shuriken from his hand, he jumped high from the ground as the mute Lieutenant channel lightning chakra before throwing the shuriken to the next group of bandits effectively killing the group in one throw

He landed next to his sister and giving her a hand |are you okay?| he gestured

"I'm fine 3, we still have several bandits" as soon as she finished that Malcolm left wrist blades slid out, he quickly turns 180 as he deflected or rather cut a katana poised to cut him down, the mute lieutenant quickly grabs the bandit's throat with his right hand before he stabs him with his left wrist blades, Malcolm slowly drag his wrist blades upward from his abdomen to chest causing the bandit to scream in pain before he twists it downwards and drag it downward with a strong Jerk

He let the bandit down on the ground as the bandit now bleeding to his death

Anton-

he saw how's the intruders finally start to panic as evidence of their erratic movement "so this is the group that trying to kill us? Pathetic even a 9 years old Helghast shinobi trainee can fight better then all of you combine" he muttered to himself as he saw the bandits started to leaving the scene

Sheathing his blades Anton let out a sigh before he starts to forming hand signs. This is his favourite jutsu, it works well for long range combat and its precision is something that archer can dream of

when he finished his hand signs he stretch his arms wide as the lightning chakra starts gathering in his hands before it morph into the shape of harpoon

"Lightning Style: Lightning Harpoon!" and with mighty throw the lighting harpoons flew with great speed at their targets one of the harpoon pierced the bandit heart while the other stab the cowardly bandit's thigh and immobilized him as the lightning harpoon let out an electric shock to his motoric system

The bald Helghast ran through another hand signs as he prepared another jutsu to attack "Lightning Style: Lightning Spear!" a spear made purely made of lightning chakra formed on his hand. Anton locked his target another group of bandits. He then proceeds to throw his spear at the group with another mighty throw

The spear pierced several bandits who in turn screaming agony. The spear then produces massive current of electricity frying the bandits to ashes

Seeing their current "R-r-r-r-run! Run! Back to the Ship!" one of the bandit start running toward their ships who soon follow by surviving bandits

Anton eyes narrowed at the fleeing bandits "4, 6 there's only few of them left running toward their ship stop them!" he ordered through the radio

Naruto and Hinata-

"Yes sir" Naruto replied through the radio

He and Hinata quickly use their Body Flicker to intercept the fleeing bandits who is now can be count with fingers

Reappearing before them Naruto form twelve clones with Shadow Clones Jutsu poised to take down the invading bandits the bandits who saw this quickly turn away from the 'demon shinobi' only to find another female 'demon shinobi' with her twin Kodachis also blocking their escape seeing this opportunity Naruto's clones circling the bandits and start using their Chakra Chains to ensnare the remaining bandit while Hinata Sheathing her Kodachis and starts summoning her own senbon before throwing it to the bandit each of them hit their pressure points immobilizing them in the process

Seeing the immobilized bandits, Naruto took the initiative by using his chains to restrain the bandits

"Captain we apprehended the bandits what do you want us to do?" Naruto asked through his radio

[Bring them to me, make sure they're not trying to escape, we're going to bring them back for interrogation] Anton said

"Roger that sir, Dragonet 4 out" Naruto replied. He sighs a little as he ordered his clones to drag the bandits

'what do you think Kurama?' Naruto thought as he observes his clones drag the restrained bandits

'That was… something' Kurama said lazily

'Really? Just something? Is that best you could do for me after I risking my neck to protect the empire?' Naruto thought back

'Meh, could be more entertaining if you fight someone on your own calibre, those thugs only small fry not pretty satisfying for me to watch you and your vixens along with your commander easily take them out'

'huh... I guess you're right' Naruto agreed

'yeah, whatever. I'm going to sleep again wake me up when September is over' it doesn't take long for the fox to fall asleep as Naruto could hear snores from his mental link

Naruto could only sweatdropped at the fox remarks 'but we're in Mid-October'

YYY-New Helghan-YYY

Sometimes later

With the fiasco was done, the patrolling helghast shinobi quickly gather the corpse of the dead bandits and line them up while the one who has made as hostages gathered in one location for air pickup

Anton Saric the captain of the Dragonet squad guarding the defeated bandits while reporting back to the Ouroboros Palace

[Say that again Dragonet actual?]

"I repeat, we encountered bandit from elemental continent somehow and someway they managed to slip out our satellites and patrolling cruiser. They brought illegal drugs and slaves on their ship and they foolishly said their intention to make this continent as their… 'base operations'… if you get what I mean. I'm requesting Dropships to transports these…" Anton look at the remaining bandits maliciously "degenerate fools for Torture and Investigation sessions"

[Roger that, Dragonet actual, we're sending dropships to your location]

Anton look to his sides to see Naruto, Yakumo, Hinata, Maya, and Malcolm helping the slaves out from the ship

"And I request food, clothing, and medics for them they probably pretty malnourish and sick" there's a long pause after his last request until a feminine voice answer his request

[This is your Autarch Speaking, your request has been granted I'll sent medics, food, and clothing to your location. Secure the area until the dropships get there.] Ophis responded and the Captain of the squad noticed the displeased tone in her voice

"Understood, my Autarch it will be done"

With the rest of the Squad

Naruto, Yakumo, Hinata, Maya, and Malcolm who finished let the slaves out from their shackles couldn't help but to feel pity at the slaves. The look very malnourished –as evidence of their visible ribs and skinny figures- and look very sick some of them had bruises and whip marks all across their body and there's some of visibly shaking

But that's nothing compare to the next they see. The women slave in this ships some of them look they look broken and some of them had nothing to protect their modesty with a lifeless look in their eyes

And

"That's girl looks no older than 7 years old, and they had audacity to convert her to become slave?!" Maya said with anger her cloth now loose revealing her face back in order not to scare the slaves with their demonic looks along with the others following her example slid the eye part of their masks up revealing their eyes

"sometimes I forgot our continent is still undeveloped nations and in constant conflicts and things like slavery and drugs were common in elemental nation's illegal business" Naruto explained to his lieutenant.

"And compared to New Helghan, the elemental nation is like middle-ages which is like eight hundred years ago with some element from twenty-first century" Hinata added.

Back then when they were nine, their step-mother loved told them bed time stories which is actually the Dragon God's adventure in another realm in different time and centuries. Among them were differences between middle-ages and twenty-first century. Especially the human civilizations.

"Makes me glad we live in New Helghan which is more civilized than elemental nations" Yakumo added her two cents

|Kinda, reminds me of ISA and UCN during our age of Great Depression| Malcom gestured

The female lieutenant let an exasperated sigh "Okay you three, go check the captain's cabin find anything useful from it"

"Yes ma'am" the trio Genins give a salute to their superior to check the cabin

"I left some clone for you to help you move the next batch of slaves" Naruto formed a cross hand sign forming five shadow clones "You five, help the lieutenant moving them" he ordered his clones

"Yes boss" the shadow clones said simultaneously

And with that Naruto, Yakumo, and Hinata separate from their superiors

***NYH***

Captain's Cabin

10 minutes later

"I found something! Seems like a map of human trafficking and the drug route all across Elemental continent" Hinata said with disgust in her voice

"I also found financial journal of the drugs and slave they sold" Yakumo said as she flip through the pages

"Keep it, it might be useful for shutting down this uncouth business" Naruto ordered them

Keeping the journal and the map the Kunoichis keep searching for another intel while Naruto rummage through the desk until he stumbled upon the captain's diary. Naruto pick it up and start flipping through the pages searching for how these degenerate fools slip through their patrol

"Hm?" Naruto noticed something fell off from the diary he looks down and pick it up "a letter?" Naruto open the letter and read it

The letter more or less is a letter of approval for them(bandits) to sail finding new land to spread 'influences' nothing new. However, the head letter that caught Naruto's Eyes

"5, 6, I think we know who's the employer of the bandits"

Turning their head to Naruto, Yakumo and Hinata focus their attention on the number four on the team

"Who?"

"Take a look for yourself" Naruto put the letter on the desk and point at the head letter

The Kunoichis move closer to him and reach the letter, they could read clearly who had the gut to order his men invade their homeland for his foolish greed

AN:

(1) PDA: think about 'Scroll' from RWBY

Please leave a review to help me developing this story that satisfy your need for x-overs fic.

And again I'm sorry for my lateness in the story. That being said, since I've got much to handle in life I will update more slowly but I will try to update the story as fast as I could

And… oh wait I've got one extra scene for you

Omake: Shinobi skills

There are many things that Ninja should mastered

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Bukijutsu and Genjutsu is a mandatory for every shinobi.

Stealth is also a skill that every shinobi should have which is fairly forgotten since the Genin always more focused on learning flashy jutsu rather than basic fundamental of stealth

Then, there's social skills to help the shinobi to blend in with the crowd reducing the chance of getting noticed

Human anatomy knowledge, to help you memorize every human organs locations for precision strike on vital locations

Kenjutsu, the ability to wield sword. Sword offers more range and cutting power than the Kunai and shuriken in close-range combat

And many more.

But there are one of those skill has become controversial in New Helghan, Seduction. The idea is to seduce a man/woman to trick them and have your ways to gather info/torture them to squeeze juicy information

Many parents disagreed with the idea of their fifteen years old teen seducing their target but the Autarch insist seduction must be in the curriculum of the academy even she went so far build a special class for said skill

This caused an uproar in New Helghan but thankfully certain incident led the Autarch to change the curriculum leaving the trainee or genins to learn the basic before taking more 'advance' learning when they reach the rank of Chunin or higher

4 years after Naruto and co. arrival

Naruto's age: 12

Ouroboros Palace: Naruto's bedroom

Naruto focus the book in his hand, it's a manual for seduction technique he didn't want to learn. To him, it's disgusting. Why would Ophis want him and the other to learn something like this?

Did she want him, Yakumo, and Hinata to become a…

No he wouldn't say it. he had faith to his step-mother for convincing him to learn this. Whatever her reasons there must be good intention behind it

"Okay" sighing Naruto sit on his bed as he opens random pages

"Now let's see what kind of thi- OH GOD! OH NO! OH MY GOD!" with horror filled in his eyes Naruto dropped the book on the ground while he himself fall to his butt while gasping in horror

He quickly got up to his feet and leave his room in a speed that would make his former father proud before quickly coming back to his room with StA25 Vlug Submachine gun in his hand

He aimed at the book and quickly unload the bullets in rapid succession shredding the book into confetti in a second

When the last bullet exits the muzzle, Naruto dropped the gun and with shaky hand he points at the destroyed book "Y-Y-You can't h-hurt… a-anyone… anymore

Autarch's Sanctum

We can see Ophis over watching her adopted son via her PDA and sweatdropped at the sight behind him were guffawing Regret and face palming Suffer

'I should've known better to give him 'the talk' before I give him the book' Ophis sigh as she confirmed her son conditions

'By the way, where did I see that scene before?'
