Review
yama-sama - He can have training in other universes like in Nanoha, but I'm happy with what I got.
shapeshifter340 - The mystic eyes of death perception doesn't go with my Naruto, in my opinion. Also. yes his Reality Marble is Unlimited Bladework. Remember that there is an unlimited number of universes. One of them has to be where Naruto is Shirou in some odd way, aka my story.
jkc86 - Yes the Grail war is going to start after the exam, but I'm going to do some short chapters with him and the girls living in Fuyuki before the war starts.
arckane - They make a powerful ally and Naruto is going to learn senjutsu from them, even with the deal that Naruto made. There is also the fact that I like Doupo cangqiong a lot.
fresh prince1 - Is more that Yuki has faith in him to pull out the impossible, which he did.
FateBurn - Yes Medusa (Doupo Cangqiong version) will be paired with Naruto. I love her. You will see her and other characters in the manga in my other story, eventually, The Once and Future King.
SPark681 - Medusa is going to be like herself in the manga with Xiao Yan sort of. The connection with Naruto is there due to the evolution, but her pride will rule her like usual.
hellfire45 - Medusa will end up in the harem.
Stratos263 - They are prideful in the manga. In my story, they do have the right to be prideful. They are the best and most unique summon.
Shirokishi24 - Medusa, the summon queen, isn't Rider. They just have the same name. Medusa is from Doupo Cangqiong, while Rider is from the Greek Legend.
Thanks for the support, everyone!
Chapter 7 - Back in Hell
{In an Airship somewhere in the Elemental Nations}
We find our assassin inside of one of Koyuki's airship. Currently, they were heading to Konoha for the Chunin Exam that the Land of Springs' Daimyou will attend for the first time. The reason for her choice to come to watch the Chunin Exam, is due to the fact that Naruto and his team can't be there for her at any moment. She needed people skilled enough to help her country at any time of the day, so she would watch the potentials of each of the five village. It's also the first exam to host for all five major village.
Naruto, along with his girlfriends/teammate, traveled with Koyuki as bodyguards. Due to their travels from in and out of the Veil, they wouldn't be available for Koyuki if she needed help. She asked for them to be her personal bodyguard is due to the Land of Fire's situation.
Out of the entire Elemental Nations, Fire was the most dangerous. Due to Danzo's continue existence and the lack of effort by the Fourth Hokage, he remain at large and attack any potential threats. Even though Konoha claimed that Danzo is a rogue shinobi and is working by himself, skirmishes still take place. Danzo would launch attacks on all other countries, including Konoha itself and their allied country like Land of Winds. Which cause an end of the alliance between Konoha and Suna. All of Konoha's inaction cause Danzo to gather a lot of power and weaken everyone else. Danzo assassination and kidnapping on all countries forced each Kage to fight back. Konoha, weak due to Kurama's attack all the years ago and their lack of Jinchuriki, can't stop the intrusion of foreign shinobi. Fighting between ROOT and other foreign shinobi caused Konoha shinobi to get involved, which led to their death.
In all, the Land of Fire is housing a war in it's own country without an actual war taking place. It's just foreign shinobi fighting a terrorist organization, ROOT. A Kage Summit was called by Minato in an attempt to stop the entry of foreign shinobi into the Land of Fire. The other four kages that answered the call, but answered him with, 'ROOT is station in the Land of Fire. If Konoha won't eliminate them, then we will. If you keep us out, then we will take it as Konoha supporting ROOT and we will declare war.' The outcome was that Minato declared ROOT as a terrorist organization to avoid war with the other four major power. He may be considered one of the fastest man alive, but without a Jinchuriki, they won't be able to hold their country with five fronts. Fronts being open on all side of the Land of Fire by Suna, Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa. Then having another front being open inside their country by ROOT. It's a war that would end with destruction for the Land of Fire and Konoha, the first hidden village.
The war-like country drew a lot of business for Konoha, but at the same time lose business. Konoha mainly focus on a variety of missions to keep up its economy and it's reputation. It allow them to show that they are 'good' in the eyes of the civilian because they will work for them. Although, all villages use the same tactic, they do it as a advertising in their own home. Due to the conflict, Konoha lost their variety of mission. All villages in the Land of Fire, including the capital, couldn't risk traveling to Konoha to get ninja help, so they would go to the closest ninja village, which happens to be foreign ninja village. Konoha started to receive only high paying jobs, which constant of bodyguard duty against ninja, delivery in hostile land, and other dangerous jobs. This would be a good thing for them, but it wasn't. They would only be able to send off jonin shinobi or group of chunin shinobis. The situation was taking experience and training away from the next generation. They might get a little boost of wealth, but they were going to lose in the long run against other ninjas. As shown in the Chunin Exams. Only 4 out of 14 genins made it to the finals that are from Konoha. In the finals, it was usually shown the majority of the genins being from the village that the exam was taking place. Seeing as the foreign shinobi being the majority, it showed that only four out of around a hundred Konoha genin are ready. Which in turn show that out of all the villages, Konoha aren't training their next generation hard enough. That also brings down their reputation.
Going into the Land of Fire was too risky for anyone. Especially for leaders of an country. Koyuki would be a definite target for Danzo due to her country advance technology. She needed the best protection while her visit in the Land of Fire. Thus hiring Naruto and his girls. Who better than The Fastest Man Alive and most importantly, a close friend.
When Naruto returned home, he was confronted by the two girls he's in love with. They were worried sick about him being gone for so long. There was also the fact that he never answered his phone. Apparently, one of the snakemen that was examining Naruto's gear, accidentally destroyed his phone when it was playing I Am The Doctor by Murray Gold ringtone. It seems that Naruto missed some important news.
"Onii-chan! Come play with me!" shouted a happy little girl with similar white hair compared to Naruto.
"Hai, hai, Chibi-nee-chan." Naruto said as he got up from his window seat and went over to the adorable girl, Illyasviel von Einzbern.
"Mou! I told you to stop calling me that!" She demanded of him.
"(laugh) And I said I will when you started to grow." He replied.
He missed the call from Illya. She was given vacation time from Jubstacheit. During her stay with the rest of the Einzbern, she was training to become a powerful magus. Though, Naruto manage to bargain with the old man to have the training be less cruel than needed. Her new training regiment was still tough, but she wouldn't need to face the brutal, life threaten training the she would have gone through if it wasn't for Naruto. She rarely sees her little brother anymore due to his training, job, and the Einzbern assignments. Illya called (and when I say called I mean call with a phone... technology... she finally learned) to tell that she was coming to the Land of Springs to spend time with her brother.
With her unexpected arrival, she tag along with Naruto on his job as the one to watch over him. She was modified to have 70% of her body composed of magic circuits. She's able to produce nearly unlimited amount of prana. That, along with her masteries of creating familiars from her hair made her someone to be taken seriously. Although she can produce powerful familiar, Naruto is still more powerful if compared as a combat magus instead of a magus, magus.
Illya called him over because she wanted Naruto to be with her as she played Pokemon on her 3DS. After learning how to use a phone she started to use technology for life in general like Naruto, Krulcifer, and Xenovia. Thank Root that Illya didn't destroy any electronics this time.
The two were snuggling together as they played the game. Naruto pulled out his 3DS and started a Pokemon battle with her.
"Damn her." Xenovia muttered with a click with her tongue. She was a little jealous of her. Whenever she arrives, Naruto's attention is focus on Illya, instead of her or Krulcifer.
"(chuckle) Let them be. They rarely see each other." Krulcifer said. Without taking her eyes of her book she was reading, It's obvious how Xenovia feels about Illya's visits. Krulcifer learned long ago that she would have to deal with a lot of girls in Naruto's life, especially his older sister.
"It just feels like I don't even exist anymore when she is around. I know that I'm his maid, but she gets all of his attention." Xenovia started to complain. She knew she had to share Naruto, but Illya was different. Naruto would always give his love to all of them, but Illya would always gain the most when she's around. It just made her jealous.
"I honestly didn't believe you saying that she's Naruto's older sister. She is a few inches shorter than all of you." Koyuki commented.
"Yatta, I win!"
"Best two out of three!"
It seems that Illya won the battle.
"She certainly doesn't act like an older sister. Especially when she calls him, 'Onii-chan'." Koyuki added. This was her first meeting with Illya. She thought they were lying about her being short when they said she's the oldest out of their group.
"She just has the spirit of a child." Krulcifer told her.
"That's something she has in common with Naruto." Xenovia added.
The three girls went on to talk to each other during the ride to Konoha as the sibling play Pokemon. They wouldn't arrive to Konoha until the next day. They maybe on the first aircraft inside the Veil, but it was slow. Very slow. The only advantage it had is the capability to fly which almost all ninja didn't have. The purpose for traveling in the airship is to reach their destination faster and to improve her country's standing with the rest. The entire Elemental Nations revolved around having the strongest ninja show their prestige. With advice from Naruto and his stories and technology from outside the Veil she desire to show her own prestige as a combination of ninja and technology. She would not have a hidden village, but have all ninja in her land serve the daimyo and have their brilliant mind work on technology. Then under one leader, they would be able to create something new. A new way of life... or a new way of warfare if need be.
Several Hours Later...
Nighttime has arrive and their airship arrive to the Land of Fang. It will be until dawn till they reach Konoha.
Naruto already took Illya to her room onboard the ship to get a good night sleep. Xenovia and Koyuki already went to sleep along with several members of the crew. The only one awake were the pilot and his crew to pilot the ship, Krulcifer, and Naruto.
Naruto was inside his room cleaning his Thompson Contender along with his twin FN Five Seven. He couldn't sleep. No it's more than he can't sleep. He's finally returning to the village that was the source of his pain. He may have let go of that hate a long time ago, but he didn't like it. After leaving on his training trip with Zelretch, Kurama helped him deal with his inner demons. Naruto held a lot of hate for Konoha and the Namikaze family. It was something that Kurama was okay with, but he needed to change.
Flashback
It was only a week into his training with Captain Price in London. Naruto was rigorously training. He was increasing the gravity on himself along with the weights he put on. He was eating less and sleeping less. Naruto refused to stop with martial art training and target practice. Even with the Captain's order to rest, he didn't.
[Naruto, we need to talk.]
'Now's not the time, Kurama.' He mentally communicated with Kurama as he continue to do pushups.
[No, now IS the time.]
'No, it's not. I need to get stronger.'
[You will, but not like this. You're only being an idiot now.]
'Leave me alone. I have to do this.'
[Why?]
'I just have to!'
[Why?]
'Because it's the only way!'
[For what?] He continue to question him.
"TO PROTECT HER!" Naruto screamed out loud. Naruto finally fell down to the ground with his body screaming in pain. He was sweating like a pig and his muscles were being teared apart from the constant strength training. It was only due to Avalon that Naruto was able to continue. Kurama didn't heal him because he knew that Naruto needed to stop.
[Illya, huh. From who then?] Kurama wouldn't stop with the questions. He was going to force Naruto one way or another to be honest with him and himself.
"From Jubstacheit of course" Naruto replied with heavy breathing. His body is dead tried.
[You already did. You offer yourself and be extension me to leave Illya alone. That man is a man of his word, so there isn't a need to protect her from him.]
"He will hurt her if I don't make sure of it. I'm sure of it."
[He is an old man, but you forget that he's an AI. He design to lead the Einzbern and to protect them. He won't go back on his word with dangers from me and Zelretch around. He's too smart. So I ask again, who?]
"You're wrong. It's him-" Naruto started to retort, but was cut off.
[DON'T BE STUPID! WE BOTH KNOW THAT THEY AREN'T THE ONE THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING AGAINST!] Kurama roared. [You're protecting her for 'them.'] He said darkly as he mention, 'them.'
"I don't kno-"
[Don't play that game.] It was then that Kurama use his chakra and his understanding of magecraft to create an astral body of a pet size form of himself. "Come with me." It was then that Kurama then walk out of the room and climb the roof. Naruto did as he was told and follow his best friend towards the roof.
Kurama was staring out into the night sky. Kurama gestured to the spot next to him with his tails. Naruto then took a seat next to him. "The night. It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Naruto then look up to the sky. He was memorized by the scene. It was a beautiful night. The stars and full moon lighting up the sky along with all the building. It was a beautiful show of lights dancing all around them. In the distant was a flash of lights which indicate a concert taking place. He completely forgot about what he was doing before and enjoyed the scenery.
"Naruto. Talk to me and I don't mean about the lie you keep telling yourself. Tell me how you really real. Deep down inside of you. Deeper than me being inside you." Kurama told him with a little joke at the end to laugh at. Naruto only chuckled a little from the joke.
After a few moments to think about it. "I'm scared, Kurama, and I'm mad." A few more moments. "I'm scared of losing Nee-chan like losing Tou-san and Kaa-chan. I finally got parents that loves me and they're gone. I'm mad too." Naruto said weakly as he started to tear up. Kurama would put his tail on him to show that he's here, but he forgot that he's only a astral body, so his tail phase right through him.
"Why are you mad?" Kurama pushed on.
~Play Angel Beats! OST - Theme SSS~
"It reminds me of them. Minato and Kushina. They get to live happily with their daughter and my family... They died. I only have Illya left. I hate them. Why is that they put all this pain on me!? Why does Kaa-chan have to die for the Greater Grail!? Why does Illya have to be forced to become the next Lesser Grail(1)!? Why does that bastard Kotomine kill my dad!?" He shouted with rage. It was then Naruto burst into tears. He couldn't hold it in anymore He hasn't cried like this since his first Birthday(Fifth Birthday) with a real family. During Kiritsugu and Irisviel funeral, he only teared up and held onto his sister while she cried.
It was then that Naruto was wrapped into a hug. It wasn't Kurama because he doesn't have a body. "You didn't lose everyone, Naruto." It was Zelretch. "I'm still here to help you. Illya is at home waiting for you and you have Kurama by your side." It was then that Naruto cried into his chest. Doing something that is normal for someone his age.
~End Song~
'Looks like the Old Bat came to help.' Kurama thought. Naruto needed someone to comfort him now and unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
After several minutes of Naruto crying, he calmed down. "Betrayal is an ironic thing. He or she betrays you, then you betray yourself. You think you're showing strength with your anger, but in reality, you're showing how much you still care. Quote by Shannon L. Alder. Your feelings betray your words. " Zelretch quoted Shannon. "Hating your biological parents shows that you still care about them. Do you still care?"
"I- I don't know! I feel that I need to blame them for all my problems." Naruto told them. Clutching his hands in frustration.
"You know they are the reason why we are here now." Kurama told him. It was then he look up at the moon as too everyone else. "Do you know that the night is the same when you were born? It was a peaceful night where everyone was enjoying life. It was only till that Uchiha came by and ruin it and ruin their life."
"Don't you mean my life?" Naruto asked. It would make sense that the mysterious Uchiha is partially responsible for Naruto's pain.
"That would be true if your biological parents died, but they lived. They lived and left you to be Konoha's burden and scapegoat. They let the villagers place all their hate on you and let them make you suffer for their pain." Kurama told his reasoning. His reasoning reminded Zelretch about one of the heroic spirits, Angra Mainyu.
Angra Mainyu was a common villager. He was randomly chosen as the 'source of all evil in the world' by his village and was tortured and sacrificed in the following rituals. The villagers believed that from the moment humans are born, there is evil in them. Since it was impossible to be freed from malice just through clean, righteous living, the only way to realize the true goodness of human beings was to force "all the evils of the world" onto one person and blame him as the true source of any human evil.
Angra Mainyu and the nine Jinchuuriki were similar in that regards. Both were normal people, but chosen to burden the evil of man.
"They are also the reason for you being here now. They could have died and you might not have met Kiritsugu. All the joy you found is also their doing. What I'm trying to say is that don't let your hatred consume you. Sure you can hate them for the rest of your life, but don't let it rule you. Most of all, learn to move on. It will be the hardest thing for you, but you need to move on. Do for Irisviel and Kiritsugu."
After several minutes, Naruto took one last look at the sky and went back inside to go to sleep instead of training.
The two old people saw Naruto sleeping happily now. "Thanks Kurama. He needed that." Zelretch thanked Kurama.
"No problem. He needed to learn that he can't let the past hold him back. Besides, the kit is my best friend, I can't leave him alone like that."
End of Flashback
Talking about his problem really help. Naruto eventually learn to let go of his hatred for the Namikaze and Konoha. They didn't matter to him anymore. Sure he dislike them and distrust them for good reasons, but he won't outright go mad killer on them.
During the night trying to go to sleep, Naruto couldn't. He just had a bad feeling about going to Konoha. Even with him letting go his hate, not his dislike or distrust, for Konoha, he still had a bad feeling. Call him paranoid, but he is an assassin. Shoot him if someone in his line of work isn't worried about Konoha.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in." Naruto said slightly loud.
Coming in was Krulcifer in a light blue nightgown. "Can't sleep?" She asked as she sat in the seat next to him at the table.
"Ya." Naruto quickly responded.
"Is it Konoha?"
"Ya."
"Why?" She asked. Naruto didn't respond. He continued moved onto taking apart his Five Seven to clean. "Naruto-kun."
Naruto took a deep breath. "It just... I have a bad feeling about this."
"Naruto Uzumaki is dead. You're Naruto Emiya. You have nothing to be worried about." She reassured him. Trying to help him find comfort for tomorrow.
"It's not that. I don't care if they know who I am. I know that my real parents are dead and they aren't my family. It just that I'm afraid." Naruto stopped his train of thought. It was then that Krulcifer put her hand on his cheek to show that she is here for him. "I'm afraid for you. For Illya and Xenovia. I can't lose any of you. I can't let them take you guys away from me. Not this. Not my family...ever."
Krulcifer went up and gave him a deep kiss. Forcing her tongue into his mouth. Then she pulled out. "They won't. They won't take any of us. We belong to you, not them." She then pulled him out of the chair and push him down to the bed on his back. She then climb onto him. "We belong to you and you belong to us." She then took off her nightgown and started to unbuckle his belt. "I will prove it to you." She said with a very seductive smile. (2)
{The Next Day in the Afternoon near Konoha}
Naruto having sex with Krulcifer or Xenovia isn't something new. They have been having sex over a year now. Due to their lifestyle, they wanted to enjoy life as much as possible. Sex happen to be one of the pleasure that they pleasure themselves with. Sure it was awkward at first, but it became a casual thing after the first few times. Krulcifer was definitely living up as Maiya Jr. She had sex with Naruto when he needed to be comfort. She learn to use guns from Naruto and how to fight. There is also the fact that her body isn't developing at the moment, which suggested not having a sexually appealing body that Xenovia would have, if her growing bust suggested anything.
Naruto was feeling better. He was ready to go to work.
"Daimyo-sama, we're in view of Konoha. How should we proceed." The pilot asked.
Before Koyuki answered him, Naruto answered. "Pilot, do you have the radio that I recommended installing?"
"Yes sir. The idea with our airship communicating with others, so we can better handle a crisis is brilliant plan. All current aircraft, including this one is equip with a radio and set with an exclusive frequency that only the Land of Springs use."
"Good. Koyuki, I recommend we go down from here. I can take you down and we have the ship stay up in the air. Once we finish our business here, I'll radio you in to come and pick us up." Naruto recommended.
She took a minute to think about it. "Pilot, does the ship have enough fuel to stay up for a full week?"
"Yes ma'am. Thanks to Emiya-sama help, we have enough fuel for an airship to last in the sky for two full week." They traded speed for long lasting flight capabilities with their airships.
"Good, then we will go with his plan."
"May I ask, why?" The pilot asked Naruto. He knew that the assassin could be trusted, but he would like to know the reasoning behind the plan.
"The airship is the talk of the Elemental Nations. Right now, we are being surrounded by ANBU Black Ops down below. They can't attack us due to our ability to fly, but also due to the reason we're here. However, that doesn't mean they will steal the secrets about the airship. This way, we deny them from getting a closer look at one of the most advanced ship the countries see and show off that the ships can last in the sky without stop for a very long time. If war does come, this airship will mean the difference between life and death. Potential allies will want to know about this possible asset when war comes." Naruto explained. It was no secret that they know that Naruto believes that the ninja system is the cause of war. He pointed out that fighting from the warring era is less bloody than the Great Shinobi Wars. There is also the fact that he points out that people that learn how to slit each others throat and look out for their own village at all cause can never find peace.
"The Magus Killer makes an excellent point, pilot. Once we leave, find a perfect place outside of the village that all in the village and travelers can see." Koyuki told the pilot, which he nodded to. Naruto and his group went towards the door along with Koyuki in her Daimyo cloths. Naruto and the girls were all in their usual gear. Illya wore a collared, purple long-sleeved shirt with a light purple scarf to match, a long white skirt, and purple boots. It's her favorite outfit that she wore during warm weather. "Do you have an idea to get down to the ground?" She asked.
Naruto just open the door and started to write up some runes as the wind sent his tied up hair into the sky(3). Naruto finish the runes and it went down to the ground and started to form an ice structure that went all the way up towards the doorway. "Simple. We slide down." Naruto said. "Weeeeeee!" Naruto dove into the ice made slide and happily screamed down the slide.
"Me next!" Illya shouted as she followed him.
"They can really be childish. Koyuki-sama, you should go next. We will watch your back." Krulcifer said as she gestured to Xenovia. Xenovia had Asuramaru at her hip under her cloak. Naruto gave her Asuramaru due to the destructive ability of Ex-Durandal, so having that beast out inside a heavily populated area isn't the best idea. Naruto had his hidden blades and guns. Krulcifer had her family rapier, Fafnir and a hidden Glock-17. Fafnir is a silver rapier that belong to her ancestor. It's also the Einfolk's Mystic Code. It helps an Einfolk see into the future and also is equip with research on ice magic. She can use it to fight in close quarter with speed and precision due to her skills and her family research, Wise Blood. Another form of time magic, but allow the user to see into the future instead of the Emiya's altering inner body time.
"Thanks Krulcifer." She smiled and went down the slide.
Krulcifer gesture for Xenovia to go next. She went towards the doorway. "Don't think I didn't hear what happen last night. I wasn't completely asleep. I heard you having fun." She said with a grin saying 'I' keeping my eyes on you.' Krulcifer can only smile, but blush a little. Even after all the time they all had sex, she is still a little girl that gets flustered easily if you know how to hit her. "I get next time." Xenovia then went down the slide.
"I guess that's fair." She then went outside and close the door before going down the slide, so the pilot can fly away. They all started to walk towards the main gate. Already, people were gathering up. They all saw an airship for the first time. It was a large attention grabber. There were also a lot of kids outside the gate. They were excited to see the airship and the ice slide. You could hear their disappointment when the airship started to turn around and the ice slide melting.
"Bereit für alles vor. Ich spüre viel Chakra und ein negatives Gefühl am Tor(4)." Naruto said in German. The two girls got serious and prepared themselves for anything. During Xenovia and Krulcifer's time with Naruto, they learn how to speak a lot of different language like he did. Only Naruto and Xenovia needed to learn how to speak German. Illya and Krulcifer are German, so it's expected of them to speak their country language. Illya was still carefree, but paid attention to his warning. Only Koyuki was the one confuse, along with the ANBU following them, then again, it's not the first time they spoke another language in front of her. She felt like they were insulting her when they speak another language at home. The ANBU only thought they spoke in code. They don't realize that they speak Japanese, they only think it the only language in existence.
They made it towards the gate where the crowd open up. At least they recognize the cloths of a Daimyo. As soon as Krulcifer, the last one on the back of the group, cross the gate, they were surrounded.
Naruto immediately drew his Thompson Contender and pointed it under the chin of the person in front of him. Xenovia drew Asuramaru and prepared herself for a fight. Krulcifer pulled out her Glock-17 and pointed it at the closest person behind her. Koyuki look outrage at the action, while Illya took a serious look as she started brush her hair.
The crowd let out a gasp. The Daimyo and her group was surrounded by ANBU ninja, along with their Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Naruto was holding his Contender right under his chin.
"What is the meaning of this!? Is this how you treat a Daimyo coming for the Chunin Exam, Hokage!?" Koyuki demanded. His action was a declaration of war against herself.
"I'm sorry Daimyo-sama, but you have a criminal with you. I'm here to arrest the Magus Killer." Minato told her.
"Under what charge. I know for a fact that the Magus Killer hasn't even been to Konoha or met a Konoha shinobi. He hasn't done anything to warrant an arrest!" She defended her.
"Just give the order, Koyuki. I will kill every last man, woman, and child here if I have to." Naruto said coldly. At the moment, he didn't know if he was bluffing or not. He knew Minato would pull something when they arrive, but he expected him to be the target. Not all of them. His anger was enough to make him do what his father would usually do, kill the innocent.
This statement scared the civilian and back up. Some started to run away with their children while others stayed. They believe that their Hokage is fast enough to kill the Magus Killer and save them.
"I'll make sure to kill you before you get the chance to do that." Minato threaten. He was looking at Naruto's Thompson Contender. He couldn't understand how such a device can kill. All he knew is that his odd weapons are capable of somehow killing a person from any distant. Autopsy of dead bandits and shinobi in the Land of Fire that Naruto killed showed the body suffered from tearing of the flesh. It was nothing like a blade. The tear was small and deep. Some wounds even went through the body. Many wounds led towards vital organs like the heart and brain. The most confusing part is that there was no sign of the object causing the tear in the wounds suggested that there would be at least one proof. Even Tsunade look for the cause of death, but couldn't find anything or come up with a theory, except for a stab from a kunai that could also lead to tears in different direction once inside the body(bullet fragment). That theory was the least likely due to the claims of eyewitnesses saying that those wounds were caused by the Magus Killer odd weapon. It's like that the proof disappeared... and that's exactly what happen.
All of the wounds that couldn't be identified were gunshot wounds. A concept that doesn't even exist inside the Veil. Sure that the Land of Springs are the only one to have something close to it, but it was far more primitive. It was a kunai launcher that launch kunai, instead of bullets. Naruto's gun are all real, except for the bullets. Naruto Traced all of his bullet, except for his Origin round and magical rounds. Once the deed is done, the bullet disappear into a golden magical dust.
Naruto's storage ring quickly flash and out appeared on his free hand is a grenade. It was then that Xenovia and Krulcifer saw his action and jump to Koyuki. Surrounding her from the ANBU and readying themselves for an explosion that will kill the ANBU and the civilians. The ANBU saw the girls action and got ready for combat. Minato drew his infamous/famous tri-pronged kunai once he saw their reaction to Naruto's strange object. "Bring it." Naruto challenge him. Naruto put his thumb through the pin.
CLANG
He pulled the pin! That crazy brat actually pulled the pin of a live grenade! Krulcifer and Xenovia applied Reinforcement on their body once they heard that noise. They were ready for combat, impact of an explosion, and ready to get the hell out of their with Koyuki.
The only one calm was Illya. She pulled out a few hair strands.
The entire situation was extremely stressful. The slightest movement can set off a battle that will determine the future of Minato's career as Hokage(5).
"Ototo." Illya said in Japanese for them to understand. Naruto's ear twitch. It was weird when Illya acted as the older sister that she really is. "Put the grenade and gun away." Her statement confused the ANBU and Hokage. The Japanese word for gun and grenade doesn't exist in their world.
"Nee-chan! I can't! They want to harm us!" Naruto replied back without taking his eyes off his target.
"Do it!" She said harshly. "Let your Nee-chan deal with the bad people." They were getting some strange looks. By their height difference, Illya would be the little sister and Naruto as the older brother in their eyes.
Fearing his sister at the moment, he re-pin the grenade and holster his Contender. Before Minato could order his ANBU to arrest them, Illya spoke.
"How dare you challenge my little brother, Namikaze." She said darkly. She already knew of Naruto's life as Naruto Uzumaki and it's safe to say that she hates Konoha and the Namikaze family. She started to tie her hair strands together. "How dare you challenge my last family member." She then use magecraft on the hair strands. People could see all the weird lines going all around her body. Unlike the other three where the strange glowing lines going through parts of the body, it was her entire body. "How dare you challenge the Einzbern family." It was then the hair started to float above them.
It grew into a creature. In one minute, the hair grew into a large dark western dragon that only Gamabunta can beat in size. Freaking out everyone. Illya was only able to create something this powerful and this large only in the Veil when her power isn't bound by Gaia's influence. She could feel a heavy burden lifted off her once she entered the Veil. Hinting to the influence removal on her, which show her true potential as a magus.
"For challenging against the Einzbern family. You will pay. You will pay with the lives of this poor excuse of a home you call Konoha." She said with the same dark voice. Then the dragon let out a mighty roar. The roar sent everyone into a panic. People started to run away, while some ANBU start to panic at the massive creature staring at them. One of them even ran away in terror. Minato was sweating uncontrollably and was stun at the mythical dragon that the toad elders talked about. Krulcifer and Xenovia were speechless against the sheer power Illya was showing off. They knew that she was powerful, but due to Gaia's influence , there is a heavy restraint on all magus, they couldn't believe how powerful she truly is. Even Naruto couldn't produce something this marvelous. Naruto was only shaking his head. He didn't expect Illya to be this threatening, but he forgot that she is still an Einzbern. A prestigious family that date back to the Era of Gods and they don't take shit from anyone.
"Attack the-"
"ENOUGH!" Someone cut off Minato before he could order his men to attack them. Everyone frozen and turn towards the source of the voice. It was a man and he was surrounded by samurais and shinobis. This man wore the traditional Land of Fire Daimyo. "Is this how you treat guests, Minato-kun. I expected more from the Hokage." He said as he shake his head in disappointment.
"D-d-daimyo-sama. The Magus Killer. He's a wanted man. It's my duty to arrest an enemy of Konoha." He tried to explain, but he knew that it was over for him.
"You forget. During the Chunin Exam all those with a bounty on their head are given temporary diplomatic immunity if they are part of a diplomatic group. This rule was established by the Second Hokage in an effort to build trust with other nations. Are you planning to go against one of the rule that our Second Hokage set up that has been adopted by all nations?" He ask Minato. He shook his head. "Then Emiya-kun here is hired as the Land of Springs' Daimyo as her bodyguard, hence giving him diplomatic immunity along with his friends."
"But!"
"No buts! I'm highly disappoint in the Hokage that I supported. I was lenient with you faking your death, but I won't be this time. From henceforth, I remove you as the Fourth Hokage!" He announce. Shocking all of Konoha. Naruto gave a smile of approval. "Hiruzen Sarutobi will take up temporary leadership as the Third Hokage for the rest of the week until the Chunin Exam is finished. Once the exam is over, we will discuss who will take on the mantle of the Fifth Hokage." It was then he signal his Guardian Shinobi to escort the ANBU and the now former Hokage to the Tower to get the Third into working order. He then walk up to Koyuki's group after they all settled down. Putting away their weapons and dismissing the familiar.
"It's good to see you Kazahana-sama. I'm terribly sorry for Minato-kun action. He was out of order." He apologize to her. Minato's action reflected him and his country and he couldn't have that happen to the most advanced country. "For him causing you and your guards trouble, you won't need to pay for anything for your stay here. Please enjoy all that Konoha has to offer you." As he handed her a tablet, giving her pretty much a credit card with unlimited money, free of charge.
She took the tablet. "Thank you, Kisuke-sama(6). I'm happy that Minato Namikaze is properly punish for his crimes against me and my bodyguards." The Fire Daimyo, Kisuke, then went on his way.
His arrival was common for all Daimyo. They would arrive to each other countries to experience their way of life, so they would show up a week before the Finals starts. It was only due to luck that the Fire Daimyo showed up during the confrontation.
Koyuki then turn towards Naruto. "You okay, Naruto?" She asked. A little worried about the recent event. She is one of the few in the Elemental Nation to know the truth of the world and his life, so she would expect him to have problems coming to Konoha.
Naruto just burst out into laughter. "Hahahahaha! Oh mein Gott. Ich kann nicht glauben, dass gerade passieren! Hahahaha. Bastard wird so gedemütigt. Vor seinem Volk nicht weniger! Hahahaha!"(7) He laugh in German. Illya then join in the laughter. Then soon Xenovia. Confusing her.
"They're fine Koyuki-sama. They are just enjoying what just happen. They are all immature."
"Right..." She said as she waited for them to calm down, so they can head to the hotel.
{Next Day}
We find our diplomatic party outside of the hotel they were staying at. Koyuki took off her Daimyo cloths and put on a traditional ice blue kimono(8). Krulcifer wore a simple white blouse with blue trim that exposed her shoulders and dark blue pants with flats. Illya wore her usual purple outfit. Xenovia wore black thigh shorts, white shirt and a blue jacket, and a pair of sneakers. Finally, Naruto wore a pair of black pants, boots, a dark blue collar shirt, and of course, his blue scarf to hide his face.
"I feel defenseless." Naruto said. You can see that all three of his pistol are missing.
"Deal with it, Onii-chan! We are here to have fun today, not working." Illya told him. It's hard to believe that the cold scary little girl can easily turn playful and childish at the snap of the fingers.
"Technically, you are still guarding me. You're just going to follow me as we all have fun." Koyuki told her with a smirk. She was going to break his 'all work and no play on the job' streak. He rarely had fun on his jobs.
"Where are we going first?" Xenovia asked.
"I heard that there is a hot spring here." Krulcifer suggested. "I say we go there. It would be a nice way to relieve stress."
"Ya! Let's go!" Illya shouted.
"Sounds good to me." Xenovia agreed.
They all turn towards Naruto. "I don't care really." he shrugged.
"Looks like we are heading towards the hot springs." Koyuki said as they all head towards to the place. On the way towards the hot springs, they were stopped by many kids and their parents to get an autograph from the famous Yukie Fujikaze.
After an hour worth of traveling and stopping, they finally reach the hot springs.
"It seems like it's split by gender. You guys go ahead and enjoy the hot springs. I just wait for you-" Naruto started to walk away, but was pulled back by Xenovia.
"Not this time. You go in and enjoy yourself." She then push him into the men changing room. "Let's go enjoy the hot springs." She then lead the band of girls into the changing room.
"Waaa. It's so big!" Illya shouted. She was the first into the hot springs. It was a large hot springs and was quite steamy. She quickly jump into the springs. "Ahhhhh. It feels good." Then slowly all the girls started to come in and enjoy the relaxing properties of a hot springs.
"Odd, there is no one here." Koyuki pointed. She expected some people to be here already. It seems that she's wrong.
"We might be early." Krulcifer suggested. Then they heard some noise coming from inside of the building. "Looks like I spoken too soon." It was then that a group of girls and women walk into the hot springs.
"T-t-t-there o-o-o-others a-a-a-already h-h-here." Pointed out a very shy girl with white eyes. Then a woman with black hair and red eyes put her hand on her shoulder to calm her.
"It's okay Hinata. We're here to celebrate your recovery." The red eye woman pointed out.
"H-h-hai K-kurenai-sensei." The girl, Hinata responded to the older woman, Kurenai.
"You need to be braver Hinata! You can't by shy forever!" A blonde girl said, trying to help her confident problem.
"These things take time Ino-chan." A redhead woman said with a soft kind voice. It didn't have much drive in it that you would expect out of an average redhead hot headed woman.
"Thank you, Kushina-sensei." Kurenai thank the redhead woman, Kushina.
"Ya. Don't be mean to Hi-chan!" Shouted a little redhead girl that looks awfully like the redhead woman.
"She's not being mean, Natsumi-chan. She's trying to help." Kushina told the little girl version of herself.
It seems that the group of girls are:
Ino Yamanaka, heiress of the Yamanaka clan
Hinata Hyuga, heiress of the Hyuga Clan
Kurenai Yuhi, Jonin of Team 8
Kushina Namikaze, Wife of the Fourth Hokage
and finally Natsumi Namikaze, the youngest daughter of the Namikaze family.
"I hope that we're not bothering you." Kushina told the group already in the hot springs. Not seeing who exactly due to the mist.
"It's fine." Koyuki answered. She then went back to her own conversation with Illya. She wanted to know more about the outside world and Illya's history lesson about the magical world.
The newcomer finally settle down into the hot springs.
"Ne, Kushina-sama! Is it true? Did the Hokage get fired?" Ino question Kushina. As the main gossiper of her age group, she heard the news already, but couldn't confirm it.
Hinata's eye was drag towards Kushina as she was interested in the story. Kushina was like a mother to Hinata after her mother's death. Kushina saw pain in Hinata and that drew her attention. It's one of the effect of Naruto Uzumaki's death. She is drawn into children experiencing pain.
When Ino asked the question, Kurenai stiffen. It was the subject for all shinobi, foreign and local. Hearing that the almighty Yellow Flash assaulting/arresting a Daimyo and her group during the Chunin Exam was easily the greatest mistake a Kage can do. "Yes he did." Kushina answered. Not showing any concern for Minato. "Minato attempted to arrest the Land of Springs Daimyo and her guards."
"Why did he do it?"
"He was trying to arrest the Magus Killer that was hired by the Daimyo. He knew doing so is illegal, but went on with his plan."
"Is tou-chan going to be okay?" Natsumi asked. She still love her father like her sister, but unlike her mother. She was still confused to why Kushina no longer love Minato. All she was told her is that he's responsible for Naruto, her older brother, death.
"Your father will be okay, but he will be sad for awhile. Okay?" Kushina answered her daughter.
"Hai." She then continue to swim around. It was until she reach the other side of the hot springs where our group of ladies was staying. She bump into Illya. "Waa, you have white hair. I never see that!"
"Thank you. I got my hair from my mama." Illya told Natsumi. Natsumi then turn to the woman that Illya was talking to.
"WAAAAA!" Natsumi screamed.
"NATSUMI!" Kushina screamed. Fearing the worst when she heard her scream. She frantically look for her, but couldn't find her due to the steam.
"YOU'RE YUKIE FUJIKAZE!" Natsumi squeal. Kushina finally found her and relax. Only to see that her daughter met her favorite actress. She went over to pick up the rabid fangirl she calls a daughter.
"I'm terribly sorry, Kazahana-sama. Natsumi-chan is young and doesn't know how to treat someone of your status." Kushina apologize for Natsumi.
"It's fine. I'm use to children walking up to me, even after I became Daimyo of Springs." Koyuki said with a reassuring smile.
"Can I have your autograph!?" Natsumi asked loudly. She really wanted that autograph.
"(giggle) Sure. After I finish my time here." Koyuki answered the little girl with a pat on the head.
"Yatta!"
It was then the rest of the kunoichi join the Koyuki and the others. Ino went up to the bluehead girls and struck up a conversation, while dragging Hinata. Natsumi bugged Illya the entire time about her hair and her size. Kushina and Kurenai talked to Koyuki. Mainly about her life about being Daimyo and an actress.
It was then a large sponge floating in the water hit Xenovia's back. She turn to see what it was. To her surprise, there is a pink snake on it. "What is Medusa doing here?" Xenovia asked out loud.
"She's enjoying the hot springs, can't you see that." A boy's voice shouted from the steam. The steam then cleared up to show Naruto sitting behind them the entire time, cleaning his Remington 870 shotgun.
"Kyaaaa!" Ino screamed in embarrassment as she covered herself with her hands. Hinata just grew into a big blush and hid behind a rock. Krulcifer look embarrass as well, but she kept calm and stayed in the water. Koyuki covered herself along with Kurenai in embarrassment. Kushina just stayed in the water while holding onto Natsumi. Illya didn't bother to cover herself up. She use to bathe with him when they were younger, so it didn't matter to her.
"What are you doing here, Onii-chan? You should be on the boys side." Illya demanded of her little brother.
"That's where you're wrong Nee-chan." Naruto replied. Confusing the Konoha women. "I'm not here to relax. I'm here to do my job and protect princess there." He pointed with the cleaning stick at Koyuki.
"You shouldn't be here young man. You should be on the men side." Kurenai trying to reprimand him.
"Nope. I was hired to protect Koyuki here. I could care less about the rules in the hot springs. Besides, Medusa wanted to enjoy the hot springs and she is a lady snake after all." Naruto dismiss her with a point to Medusa relaxing. She seem to be relax on the sponge.
"You should be relaxing Naruto-kun." Krulcifer told him after finally calming down herself. That got Kushina's attention.
[Kit, you should know that Kushina isn't the same. This woman is the exact opposite of the one that kept me prisoner.] Kurama told Naruto after hearing her speak. He notice that there isn't any of the 'Uzumaki Enthusiasm' in her anymore. Naruto mentally nodded to his comment.
'No. Naruto is dead. This is just another person with the same name.' She thought to herself.
"Naruto?" Natsumi asked out loud. Reminding her of her brother that died before her being born.
"Do you want me to wash your back, Naruto-sama." Xenovia asked.
"Cleaning my weapons is relaxing, Krulcifer and Xenovia, no. I'm not here to enjoy the springs." He finish cleaning his shotgun. He then put it into this storage ring.
"That's working, Naruto-kun." Krulcifer corrected him. After a minute to think about an idea to relax. "Why don't you sing? I know you like to sing." Along with cooking, it was one of the few activity he found relaxing.
"No way in hell." Naruto rejected her idea.
"Ya! Onii-chan sing for us. You use to sing to me when we were younger."
"But Nee-chan!" Naruto protested.
"No buts. I'm telling you as your older sister." She said with a small huff to her chest. The kunoichi were intrigue with their conversation and listen in.
"Fine." Naruto gave up to her demands. He then pulled out a guitar, keyboard, bass, and a drum set. Pulling out a lot of instrument puzzled the ignorants. He then form Shadow Clones to take each instrument. The jutsu really surprised and worried Kurenai and Kushina. That jutsu belong to Konoha, so they wonder how it ended up in an outsider's hand, but Kushina then remember that during the third war, Iwa manage to get their hands on the jutsu, so it's not impossible for an outsider to know it.
"You better not sing some song in another language!" Koyuki told him. Then the original Naruto pulled out two microphones already hook to the speaker he set up. It was now a mini concert in the hot springs. The first in the Veil.
"Don't worry. It' more of a mix of Japanese and English, but mostly Japanese." Naruto reassured her. Getting a satisfied smile. The kunoichi look confused. They didn't know what English or Japanese is. "Hey Krulcifer, I need your help with this song." As he toss a mic to her.
"What are we going to sing?" She asked after catching it. She put on a towel and walk up toward the stage right
"Rising Hope. You sing first. We will switch off every verse and at the end we sing together." He said with a wink. She look happy with his answer.
~LiSA - Rising Hope~
Nigitta messēji, That's Rising Hope.
(Hey welcome to message reality).
(Can you distance standby).
(Here we go).
It was then that the owner of the Hot Springs came out to listen to Naruto and Krulcifer's performance.

Outside of the Hot Springs, people could hear the loud music. They never heard anything like this and they love it. The Rock/J-Pop is new to the people of the Veil and it intrigued them. Especially the younger generation. Quickly a large crowd gather on the other side of the wall. Listening and cheering for the singers and musicians.

"Wooow!" Everyone started to applaud the young singers.
"Onii-chan is the best!" Illya cried out in applause.
"That was amazing you two. I didn't know you can sing like that." Koyuki enjoy his singing and the song. It wasn't like any song she ever heard inside the Veil. Inside the Veil, there isn't any pop/rock song.
The kunoichi were surprise about the song, instruments, and the english language. It was then Kurenai asked him a question she had. "Young man, I heard some unfamiliar words in the song. What were they?"
"That was English. Another language." Naruto answered.
"To my knowledge, the only language is the common tongue that everyone speaks." The common tongue is the official name for Japanese inside the Veil.
"The world is a lot bigger than you think. You'll be surprise what's out there." he said cryptically.
"Where are you from?" Kushina asked. Getting to know Naruto. She felt that he had a familiar aura.
"A place called Germany." He said. It was then that he went to pick up snake baby Medusa and let her wrap herself around his arm over his clothes. That would attract a lot of attention. Mainly for having a snake around Konoha. After Orochimaru's defection, snake became as hated as fox after the Kurama's attempt for freedom, aka the Kyuubi's attack.
"Never heard of it." Ino said.
"I don't expect any of you to know it. People born inside a hidden village never go too far from their village. I didn't know about the Elemental Nations existed till I travel here." Naruto lied about the last part. "Your map isn't finished. There is a lot of places that I visit that doesn't show up on the map. For example, there is a country called Japan. They speak a language called Japanese, but it's the exact same language as the common tongue, but more develop. My dad told me that there are over a thousand language all around the world. I learned how to speak German (my homeland language), Japanese (your language), English (part of the song's language), Italian (Xenovia's birthplace language), and a few other."
This piece of information shock them. Their language is actually called Japanese in another country and that there is so many language out there that they never heard of. Knowing different languages is a valuable skill for a shinobi because they can talk to each other without anyone knowing what they were saying. Of course, this brought even more question to the older women. To their knowledge anywhere beyond the map means that you disappear or die. There is no indication that anyone came back from outside of the map or any form of life being beyond it. After all, there is no chakra out there, so there is no reason to believe that there is anything out there. If what he says is true, they are dead wrong in their assumptions. Before, they can ask the mysterious group more questions.
"I had enough of the hot springs. I'm famish." Koyuki announce.
"Let's head back to the hotel. I can cook something for us." Naruto said as he put away all the instrument into his ring. The girls got up as well.
"Yatta! I get to eat Onii-chan's food!" Illya ran inside to get change for lunch.
Kushina stopped Koyuki. "If it's fine with you, we can show you to a excellent restaurant." She wanted to spend time with them for herself and Natsumi. She seem to take a shining to Koyuki and Naruto, especially since she is her favorite actress and he has the same name as her dead older brother.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I have tried many 5 star restaurants, but Naruto's cooking always outshine theirs." Koyuki rejected her offer.
"How about we show your group a place to cook. We would like to see that person's cooking after hearing his singing."
"That's fine with me." Koyuki said. Thinking this would be a chance for Naruto confront his past that he is trying to stay away. "By the way, you should know that that is the Magus Killer." Surprising them. "If you're going to be around us, you should know his full name is Emiya, Naruto. You should learn his name if you're going to eat his cooking." The five Konoha girls look happy and got dress. They were very interested in the youngest S-Rank shinobi.
The group of kunoichi lead our band of magi to the local park. The park had a public grill for public use. "Will this do, Emiya-kun?" Ino asked. Ino found Naruto to be extremely attractive. Even with his face covered by his scarf, he had a well-toned body and beautiful hair. She wanted to get to know him, but he was a man of few words around her and others.
Even Hinata is attracted to him, but due to her crippling shyness, she hid behind people and objects and watch him from afar. She even use her clan's Byakugan to see his full face. Surprisingly, she couldn't see pass the scarf. It was as if the scarf acts as a shroud to protect him from unwanted eyes. There was also his chakra network. She never seen anything like this.
'It's hard to see his chakra network. It keeps blinking in and out of existence.' She thought. Then she turn towards the three girl. 'There isn't any chakra in them. They shouldn't be alive at all, but what is that.' She saw a blue outline around their body. She didn't know what to make of it. She would need to ask her father about them.
The reason for Naruto's flicker chakra network is due to his magic circuits. Both coexist within his body, so his circuits acts as a shroud, but due to his powerful chakra network, it pops out. For the girls, of course they don't have any chakra at all. The blue outline Hinata saw is prana surrounding them and their circuits. The Byakugan is design to see chakra, not any other form of magic, but it can pick up on it faintly. Same things for any other chakra searching jutsu like the Sharingan.
Naruto went over to inspect the grill. "It's not much, but it will do." He then walk towards an open space. "Trace on." He whispered and form a large wooden table. The kunoichi were surprise at the creation of a table like that. The two adults assume it to be mokuton that he possess. "There isn't much to work with here, so how about a good old fashion, American barbecue?" He suggested.
"That's fine with me." Krulcifer answered.
"Meat does sound good right now." Xenovia said.
"I never had it, but I seen it on some shows. Why not?" Koyuki agreed. She spends a lot of time at Naruto's castle to spend time with him and learn about the outside world. She love watching all kind of TV shows and movie, even if it's in another language. She would just have to deal with the Japanese subtitles.
"I don't care! I want a parfait!" Illya demanded.
"Hai, hai. I will whip up a parfait for all of us after the barbecue. Kay?" He got a huff of approval from her.
The kunoichi didn't get to voice their opinion. Even though that Naruto spoke little to them, it was obvious that he didn't like them. He would usually ignore them when asking more personal question or out right talk with one of his friends when they were talking to him. It was rude of him, but Ino and Natsumi kept on pushing on.
Naruto started to pull out all the ingredients needed for burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and corn. Krulcifer join him in cooking the meal for the large group. All the other went on enjoying their time together.
Kushina walked up towards the couple. "Do you need any help? I know how to cook." She offered to help.
"That won't be needed. You don't even know what we are cooking. Every chef I met in the Elemental Nations cook Japanese orientated food. Your skills here would be useless." He push her away coldly. It sadden her. She wanted to get close to him, even if he isn't her son, but she wants to make it up somehow. Helping another boy name Naruto that is the same age would help her grief. She then walk away to find Natsumi.
"That was a little cold of you." Krulcifer told Naruto after she was far enough away.
"She was trying to get close. I don't need anyone replacing my mother." Naruto answered back. Krulcifer could understand his reasoning. Since the groups' meeting, Kushina been trying to learn from Naruto. Like a mother asking about her son's life and Naruto was fine with Irisviel being his only mother. When it came to parents, Naruto refused to acknowledge anyone beside Kiritsugu and Irisviel as his parents. Same thing with a sister and Illya. "You know. She sounds-"
"Hollow. I notice. From what Kurama told me, she isn't the same person that she was when she was keeping him trap." Naruto finish for her.
"I talked to Ino about it. She said that she is still grieving for a son she abandoned 13 years ago(9) that ended dying at the age of four." Krulcifer told him.
"And how does that apply to me. By all means-"
"Naruto Uzumaki is dead and you're Naruto Emiya. Two completely different people with different life." She finish. She did tell him that two nights ago. "It's just that seeing her like this is very sad. Ino told me that her parents told her that she was a joyful person and a hot headed woman. From what I see, she is the exact opposite. Weak, scared, hollow, and lost. It's hard for me to look at her without feeling sorry for her."
"And you think I don't. Natsumi has been bugging the hell out of me. She's been hanging around me like I'm her brother and Kushina acts like a mother trying to get to know her son. I don't want any of it. I already have a sister and a mother." Naruto said with a crack in his voice. It was bringing up happy memories of his family in Germany. Then reality hits and they're gone. Only Illya is left and he will do all he can to protect her. He began tearing up. Remembering the past was too painful.
Krulcifer went over to Naruto and open up his scarf and gave him a kiss. "Remember, I'm here for you. Xenovia as well. You don't need to feel alone when we're here with you."
"Thanks." Naruto said as he wipe away his tears. The two went up on to continue cooking the meal.
"Naruto?" A girl asked from behind the two chefs. They turn around to see who it was. She has teal eyes and sandy blonde hair, which is gathered into four consecutive pigtails. She wore a single light purple-coloured, off-the-shoulders garment that extended to halfway down her thighs, with a scarlet sash tied around her waist. In addition to incorporating fishnet worn over her shoulders and legs, specifically on her right calf and her left thigh, she also wore her black forehead protector around her neck. This person is Temari, daughter of the current Kazekage. "It is you!" She came over to hug him. Which Naruto reciprocated.
"Temari it's good to see you!" The two parted ways. "I guess you made it to the finals?"
"Yup. The exam this year seem to be easy. It didn't take a lot to past the of tests." She waved off the written exam, the forest, and her battle with a weapon specialist. "I expected more out of Konoha." She wanted a challenge.
"Well that's great. Do you want to join us for lunch? I'm cooking up something." He offered. She then look over him to see the meal that he was cooking. It was foreign to her, but she never doubt his cooking after his last visit to Suna.
"Sure. I love your cooking. Do you need any help?" She offered.
"We're almost done, but if you want to help, I'm not turning you down." He said with a smile under his scarf. She then went over to greet Krulcifer and help her prepare all the food.
"So what are you guys doing here?" She asked them.
"We're here on a job." Naruto answered.
"We're bodyguards to Koyuki Kazahana." Krulcifer clarified.
"(giggle) Kankuro would be happy to hear that his favorite actress is in town."
"Speaking of sibling, where is Gaara? I hope he isn't getting into trouble after our little fight." Naruto asked.
"He's at the hotel sleeping. Thanks to you, he really change. You help fix our family. Even our dad started to spend time with all of us." She said happily.
Temari could remember the time her father hired the Magus Killer to come to Suna for a job. The job involved working with the Three Sand Siblings. His job was to watch over the psychotic Jinchuriki. The job was going well until Naruto got involved and help them in their mission. It was then that Gaara wanted to prove his existence by killing Naruto. Naruto went off to face him, while his girls dealt with the other two sibling from interfering. Eventually, Gaara lost himself to Shukaku and Naruto defeated the duo. He then gave him a life lesson of love. After that Gaara completely change. He no longer killed anyone without a good reason. He was more kind and open with his brother and sister. Rasa, the Kazekage was surprise at the change and was grateful for Naruto. He was welcome to come visit anytime he wanted. Due to the bonds between Jinchuriki, Naruto would often visit Gaara. He grew comfortable with the three sibling to the point he reveal his past and the world to them. To say that they were shock is an understatement, but they were happy to hear how close he consider them. Temari even discovered the love she grew for the younger boy. She didn't care about Xenovia or Krulcifer because she knew as a shinobi, there will be ones that take on many wives for certain reasons.
"You should meet my sister. She actually here." Naruto advised her.
"Illyasviel von Einzbern, aka 'Chibi-nee-chan?' The older sister with a weird aging body? The sister that you keep on talking about?" She question. Whenever she talk to him before, he would somehow bring up Illya in the conversation.
"Yup she's over there." He pointed to the white hair girl in purple.
"Wow. She really is a chibi." To her surprise. She was a few inches shorter than Naruto, but the way she acts is the most outstanding. She was acting like a real little girl instead of the responsible older sister that Temari adopted.
It was then Xenovia came over to greet Temari and help hand out all the food. Then all the other girls came over to grab a plate. "There plenty here. You can eat all you want." Naruto said kindly. It was the first thing he said kindly. This surprised them. They all grab a plate and enjoy the meal.
"Wow!"
"This is amazing!"
"I never taste anything like this. The closest thing is the Akimichi's Barbecue. Even that doesn't taste this great!"
"Thank you, Na-chan!"
"T-t-this i-i-is r-r-really good."
They all thanked him. They all went on to enjoy the meal and tell each other stories. Illya and Natsumi were constantly fighting. Natsumi would always try to get close to Naruto and act as a little sister, something that Illya wouldn't allow. After Naruto finish his meal, he went back to the table and clean it up, so he could start cooking up the parfaits. Another dish that they haven't tried and will most likely love.
"Xenovia can you come over here!" Naruto called out. "Can you help me hand this over."
"No problem." She went over to grab two cups, but Naruto grab her and turn her around to face him. He then gave her a passionate kiss. She was surprised at this, but soon gave up resisting and enjoy his lips. Krulcifer was already use to these scene. Temari grew a blush.
The two shortest girls came over for their sweet treat.
"Ewwww!" Natsumi cried out. She didn't like grown up stuff.
"Bad Onii-chan!" She said that as she use her little fist to hit him.
Naruto finally let go of Xenovia after a full minute of kissing. "Thank you for being here for me." He whispered to her. Making her massively blush. He then grab two parfaits. "Sorry, sorry, Nee-chan. Here is a parfait for you two." He handed them it.
"Yatta!" Illya grab it and went down on it.
"Thanks Na-chan!" Natsumi grab hers.
He then turn towards the blushing Temari. "Why not?" He went over and gave her a kiss on the lips. Surprising the girls a lot. Temari was excited for the kiss, but Xenovia and Krulcifer didn't expect that. They knew she harbored romantic feelings, but for Naruto to act on his feelings was a curveball.
"W-what was that f-for?" She stuttered out after finishing the kiss.
"Just being grateful for all the people that care about me. Including you." He said with a wink. He then went over to get his parfait. As soon as he grabbed it, Medusa woke up from his arm. She notice the parfait and she started to drool. She then jump into the cup and started to eat it. "There goes my parfait." He said a little sadly. "I could use a break." He putted the cup down, so the snake can enjoy the treat.
Xenovia went to hand out the others. Naruto started to walk towards the lake.
"Where are you going Onii-chan?" Illya asked. She notice him slipping away.
He turn around to show a pack of cigarette in his hand and the black zippo lighter. "I'm going for a smoke." He muttered. Feeling the headache from Ino's questioning and Hinata's stares.
"Smoking is bad, Onii-chan!" She reprimanded him.
"Hai hai." Naruto wave her off as he continue for his smoke break. Naruto took a seat at the end of the dock at the lake. He took in a huff of his cigarette. It was then someone took a seat next to him.
The man next to him has short, brown hair that reached to his shoulders and onyx-colored eyes. He wore a typical Konoha jonin outfit, but it had the symbol of the police force on it. "You know smoking at your age is bad for you?" He asked the young man.
"Not unless you have healing capabilities that will heal the damage tissue in the lungs that cigarette would cause." Naruto took in one more huff before tossing it in the lake. "What is Wicked Eye Fugaku doing around a little kid like me?"
"(snort) You're the Magus Killer. The youngest S-Rank Shinobi. Fastest Man Alive. Defeated Danzo and Orochimaru, both S-Rank criminals. You're full name is Emiya, finally figured out, Naruto Emiya. You are also responsible for Minato Namikaze losing his position as Hokage." He started to list off.
"Fugaku Uchiha. Clan head of the Uchiha clan. Responsible of exposing Danzo's operation and earning the trust of the village. Fourth Hokage contender, but the village wanted a blonde. After Namikaze's return, he lost power as Hokage due to his actions on his own son and his desertion of Konoha. You're the Hokage in all, but title. Most likely candidate to be the Fifth Hokage that will be announced after the Chunin Exam." Slightly surprising him about the last part. Not many knew that piece of information. It was still relatively new news. "Don't look surprise. This village is highly corrupt. All other villages have spies in this village, including me. If you're going to be Hokage, then you will need to work your ass off to clean up the mess that Namikaze caused. The only contender for fifth Hokage is Jiraiya and Tsunade. However, it is due to Hiruzen and Minato's action that put the Land of Fire into a war with ROOT with the other villages attacking ROOT and indirectly Konoha. He won't support those two thanks to the current situation. He would go with a new path. All the Hokage followed the same path and now they're in the shit hole."
Fugaku knew that the village was corrupt due to being under Minato's reign. Minato could be considered the Hokage that nearly destroyed Konoha due to his action and inaction. What Fugaku didn't know is that a simple mercenary can easily buy off any classified information in Konoha. That was worrying because that mean that all their secrets are in danger from the common man. "When I become Hokage, I will make some major changes. First, I will take off the ridiculous bounty that Minato put on you. He focus too much of our manpower on you. Then I'll request your aid on eliminating ROOT, if you're interested. I know that you had a run in with Danzo before and defeated him. After dealing with ROOT, I will need to clean the village of the corrupt filth."
"I can help with that. You will need to pay me first." Naruto said. It was then a scroll was toss to him. Naruto open the scroll and sent chakra through it. Out came a LOT of Ryo.
"That's 50,000,000. Consider it half the pay. Your bounty will be payment and I'll pay the rest once the problem is dealt with." Fugaku said. He was satisfied with the outcome. He wanted to hire the Magus Killer like the other village, but Minato wanted him captured for his 'bloodline.' 'Minato you fool. Hiring him would have save a lot of trouble.' He then started to walk away.
"Hey!" Naruto called to him. Fugaku stop and turn to see Naruto walking to him. He quietly handed him a note. "That's a list of all of the people I and others paid for information. There is also the spies that Danzo have here." He whispered. Naruto would secretly send a shadow clone to get the information for him. Fugaku quickly pocket the list. Most people would think that he's lying to him, but he had a familiar air around him that he can trust. Seeing his action, he figure that there is a spy close by, but the only one close by.
'ANBU. DAMMIT don't tell me that the ANBU can' be trusted!?' He thought furiously, but hid his emotion. All ANBU were loyal to the Hokage and that is Hiruzen now and he's too busy dealing with the exam. 'With Minato's stunt yesterday, they wouldn't dare risk getting close to a damn sensor.' Naruto's sensory ability is known to them. He started to sense for anyone in the area, but couldn't find anyone that isn't part of Naruto group. He wasn't a great sensor like the Magus Killer, so that would suggested that he sense someone hiding close by. Watching them.
"Danzo and Orochimaru are planning something together. My contacts suggested that they will attack during the finals. Be ready." Naruto whispered then left to return to his group.
'You and your clan have done more for me than this village. Survive this. Don't let being Hokage change you.' Naruto thought. He remember the Uchiha Police force being the one to actually being impartial to Naruto and that was more than the village was to him. They carried out their duty and delivered justice to the criminals. It was only the Hokage pardoning the criminals that Fugaku refused to be lenient on. It could be said that in his eyes, Fugaku is the only good person in this damn village.
Fugaku's eyes were widen. 'If what he says is true, then a war could break out. I need to inform my clan.' He then started to casually walk away. He needed to stay calm to not tip off the potential traitor. 'I'll send Itachi to warn the clan and other trusted shinobi to prepare for trouble. I'll quietly inform the clan heads for a possible attack.' At the moment, revealing the information to Hiruzen or Minato is a mistake. They're powerful and would help with the counter, but they can't be trusted due to circumstances. He would need to inform Shikaku about the entire information he's been given. He would tell the ANBU commander, but his organization has a traitor. The only other would be the rest of Shikaku's friend and Shibi Aburame. Hiashi Hyuga is too close to Minato, so he can't be told.
Trouble is coming and the future of Konoha will be determined soon.
{Four Days Later}
{The Stadium}
The next four days went out as the same as that day. They would be join by Temari to enjoy a day of relaxation and fun where genins of Konoha would either join or follow the party. As always Naruto would keep his enjoyment minimal due to their followers. He could handle kids following them due to Koyuki's life as an actress, but what really annoys him is the shinobi following him. He needed to be ready if they attack and keep his eye on the genins. They may not be dangerous enough to pose a threat to any of them, but they still take orders from Konoha and they can't be trusted. It was the Hyuga constant stalking of them that annoyed him to no ends. He wanted her to pull something on them just, so he can put an end to her's action.
Even Mei Terumi, along with Haku Yuki, join in when she arrive. She love spending time with the young man. She would always flirt with him, which Naruto didn't care about. He had to be on his best behavior in front of Illya. Meanwhile, Illya didn't like the older woman, but the older woman love the adorable chibi. You could here Illya calling the woman a harlot all over the village. She didn't like her being so close to her brother. She already didn't like all the current girls.
During the four days, Fugaku and Itachi were successful to prepare to deal with a potential attack on them. When look closely, Itachi found several ANBU with ROOT curse mark on them, but due to the situation, he had to place them in a genjutsu to make them forget about their encounter. The presence of ROOT alone suggested that the Magus KIller's theory about a possible attack skyrocketed. Itachi prepared a group of trustworthy shinobi to arrest or kill the traitors and spies in the village that work for Orochimaru and Danzo, while his father prepare the clan heads and clans to counter a large force attacking the village. He needed to prioritize the safety of the civilian and the visiting Kages and their Daimyo, so they won't take action against Konoha during the attack or for failure to protect them. Everything was chaotic, but they were able to keep it under the down low. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to watch Sasuke's match against Gaara. The boy that manage to defeat the temporary strongest genin of Konoha without causing said genin to suffer any permanent injury.
We now find our band of magi in the Daimyo booth. The majority of the Elemental Nations' Daimyo showed up for this historical event. Them along with their bodyguards filled the private booth. The only one that could be out of place is Illya.
"How dare they make me wait!" Illya shouted. She was tired of waiting for the match to begin. They already waited an entire hour for the no-show already. Illya was given a special seat next to the window to watch the battle, specially created by Naruto. Many Daimyo gave her odd looks, but Naruto scare them away with his own. He didn't care if he cause an international incident for Koyuki, NO ONE mess with Illya's smile. Koyuki could only give a smile at the lovely sibling bond.
"Naruto-kun, what do you have there?" Koyuki asked Naruto.
Naruto took his eye off his little toy he was playing with. He was playing what look to be a rifle, but it was odd from usual rifle that Naruto had. It had a large six round revolver style magazine in the middle of the rifle. Naruto just spin the magazine and smiled at her. "This here is a Milkor MGL. A Multiple Grenade Launcher. Brand new. Capable of firing 40mm grenade, smoke grenades, and tear gas. The ultimate fun for causing explosion or controlling a crowd." His explanation confused the other Daimyos, but also interest them. The only thing that they got out of Naruto's explanation is that the device can cause explosions, provide cover by using smoke, and somehow control a out of control crowd without causing death.
"(sigh) Just don't go out of control with it." Koyuki told him. She knew he love explosions. Krulcifer could only giggle at his almost childish antics for his desire for causing a big boom. Xenovia seem to be interested, even if she didn't like to use modern weapons like her two friends, she did like explosions like Naruto.
Naruto, Xenovia, and Krulcifer were in their usual outfit for work. They were also ready for a battle if there is going to be one. Yuki and her friends, along with a few sellouts, told Naruto of a possible attack by Orochimaru and Danzo and with his personal experience with them, it suggested they would launch an attack. Their attack can easily throw the nations into a war if it's done right. This would drive Konoha into a war that would allow Danzo to take over it or destroy it as Orochimaru wants. It a win-win for the traitor duo... sort of. Krulcifer and Xenovia were talking to each other, while Koyuki talk with her fellow Daimyo. Naruto stood by Illya, while he sharpen his hidden blades.
From the audience stand, you can see a certain clan headed with white eyes staring at all the magus. Wondering what they were because by shinobi definition, they weren't human. There is also a shy Hyuga creepily staring at Naruto.
"Welcome to the first Chunin Exam to be hosted for all five hidden village." Hayate announce. Everyone applaud for this historical day. It was going to definitely be in the history book. "Here our final constants." He gestured to the present genin. Many started to cheer for their friends/nation's team. "The match will proceed on in this order:
Mito Namikaze vs Neji Hyuga
Sasuke Uchiha vs Gaara of Suna
Temari of Suna vs Shikamaru Nara
Kankuro of Suna vs Shino Aburame
Samui of Kumo vs Kurotsuchi of Iwa
Omoi of Kumo vs Dosu of Oto
Akatsuchi of Iwa vs Chojuro of Kiri"
He listed out. Every genin showed up except for three genins, two being of Konoha and they were the first up.
"Will all genins please go to the stand. Mito Namikaze and Neji Hyuga, stay behind for your battle." They all left except for Neji who had a victorious smirk on.
"Where the Fourth Hokage's daughter!?"
"Where is our hero! Where is the hero that holds the Kyuubi!?" Getting a lot of disappointed look from the foreign shinobi population. They just blurted out highly classified information, but then again, Konoha's leader did that as well. It was still unprofessional and idiotic to all foreign shinobi. Hell, even Gaara's status as the Ichibi Jinchuuriki is a secret to a certain degree. He's the only one that is remotely publicize as a Jinchuuriki, but not on Konoha level.
"The almighty Yellow Flash's daughter ran away! She's a coward like her father!"
"Shut your mouth!"
"Your leader is a monster and his daughter as well!"
It was then a fight broke out between citizens of different nations. That soon broke out a group fight between citizen of Iwa and Konoha. ANBU had to break up the fight and arrest them.
Hayate got everyone's attention after five minutes talking to an ANBU. "We will postpone their match to the end of the first round. Will Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara of Suna come to the stadium." Gaara showed up, but Sasuke didn't.
"Even the Uchiha chicken out. Is all of Konoha cowards!?"
"Shut your mouth!"
Another fight broke out and more arrest took place. The Kage were getting annoyed with the fights, but they were more annoyed with Konoha being a no show. Hiruzen began to sweat as he was question by his fellow Kages. He couldn't come up with a suitable answer. Even Naruto began to talk loudly about Konoha's failure to produce shinobi. Which many Daimyo agreed with and decided to not use Konoha in the future. Even Kisuke began to look nervous due to his own village embarrassing him.
After another five minute of fighting and waiting. "This match will be postpone to the end, so we can give them a chance to show up." Getting a lot of angry comments. They already waited an hour for them to show up and now they were getting more time. All other Chunin Exam had disqualify the no-shows. "Temari of Suna and Shikarmaru Nara, come to the stadium."
It was then that Temari came into the field, flying on her fan. Satisfying the civilian that were getting restless.
"Impressive." Naruto commented. Getting the ears of the Daimyos. Some knew Naruto and a client level relation, while others heard about him.
"Naruto-kun." Koyuki said to grab his attention. "Would you provide all of us with your battle analysis." She gestured to her fellow Daimyo.
"Excellent idea! I have heard of the Magus Killer genius mind." Commented the Wind Daimyo.
His comment got a lot of agreement and support for the suggestion. They wanted to hear the opinion of one of the strongest person in the Elemental Nation. Naruto just gave in and told them his thoughts.
"Temari of Suna. Her level of wind manipulation is very high. Not many can control the wind to float like that. Even jonin shinobi will have difficulty with that. There is also the fact that she started to begin her elemental training at such a young age. Many would start until they become a jonin, the age around 20. She started five years earlier and she is better than most trained shinobi with wind affinity. She is someone to watch out for in the future." Naruto told them. They look impress and kept in mind that, so far, Suna is the most promising village.
"What about the Nara Heir?" Ask Kisuke, the fire Daimyo. He wanted to hear his analysis of his shinobi.
"Unfortunately, he doesn't look motivated. Most likely due to his family heritage of Nara men being lazy. There is also the body build. Unlike Temari, who is well built for her age and gender, Shikamaru is a little weak. It shows that he isn't going to last long in a fight. There is also his experience, his posture shows that he hasn't killed anyone yet. It's too lose. A kill will show a sign of some professionalism as a shinobi. He shows none. It's likely due to the terrorist group, ROOT, preventing his advancement as a shinobi. In all, he isn't ready. All he has is his IQ and his clan jutsu. Temari has her training, experience, IQ, wind jutsu, and confidence. Temari is going to be the winner." Again, he got a lot of nods from the Daimyo that seem to agree with his reasoning and analysis.
It was then that Shikamaru walked up to the stand.
'This is a drag. There is no way I can win, but that ANBU made me.' He thought back as he considered surrendering. It was then an ANBU gave him the order from the Hokage to participate in the match. They couldn't suffer another embarrassment. 'She has actual battle experience. Me and the others are only rookies. We didn't even get to do mission outside of the village to get experience. This is a drag.'
The battle went on with both geniuses. Although, the favor was in Temari. She had been on mission where she fought enemy shinobi like ROOT before going into the exams. Shikamaru didn't get that chance. Asuma only focus them on doing only D-Rank missions and a few C-Rank where it is towards villages very close to Konoha, where the fighting isn't taking place. He had zero battle experience except for the spars, but they were mild, due to them being with his own teammates. Temari took the offensive and easily push Shikamaru into wall. However, Shikamaru use the shadow by the wall as his defense, but his range outside of it isn't much expect for a few meter. The people enjoy the show of strategy between the two, but Temari won with a constant barrage of wind slashes at Shikamaru.
"Looks like my prediction came true." Naruto said to himself. Many Daimyo began to approve of Naruto's analysis.
Kankuro and Shino match was by far the best. The two showed their best and the end was another win for Suna. Shino had Kankuro a few times, but his battle experience save him from the beetles' attack. In all, Konoha genin didn't have enough experience to survive against battle worn genins. The only one with battle experience in Konoha is Neji and his opponent didn't show up.
Next was Samui and Kurotsuchi. That match was on a different level compared to the matches with Konoha genin. The two were battling as if they were out to kill each other, a proper battle. The previous battle were more like a battle for survival. It was a close match, but in the end, Kurotsuchi won.
"Next is Omoi of Kumo and Dosu of Oto." Hayate announce. Omoi showed up, but Dosu didn't show up.
"Don't tell me another no show!"
"Come on! It's getting good!"
Much of the crowd started to 'boo.' Hayate waited for five minute then an ANBU spoke with him. "Dosu of Oto didn't show up, so the match will also be postponed." He announce. At first, he was going to disqualify him, but Konoha need to seem fair, even if they aren't, so problems won't occur with the other villages. "If Dosu of Oto, Mito Namikaze, or Sasuke Uchiha don't show up for their match after the others, then they will be disqualified." They needed to be as fair as they can or they will get shit from the shinobi and crowd.
Next match was between Akatsuchi and Chojuro. Akatsuchi's a powerful earth style user and held the edge against Chojuro due to him being a water style user. Akatsuchi was winning at first, but soon started to lose ground when Chojuro started to pull out the full potential of Hiramekarei. In the end Chojuro won.
After the field was cleared, a large smoke screen poof in. In the smoke were two adults and two children. As soon that some cleared, there stood Mito, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Jiraiya.
Jiraiya and Kakashi look a little cocky. "Are we late?" They both ask in synch. Expecting this to be an amazing entrance for their student. However, they didn't get the greeting they were expecting.
"FINALLY!" Was the majority's response. These two had their match push back and many were disappointed about it. They wanted to see the famous Uchiha and the Yellow Flash's daughter.
Mito and Sasuke took a scan of the stadium.
Sasuke notice that not a single member of his clan didn't show up for his match, except for his mother. He clench his hands in anger. 'Damn them.' He thought bitterly. 'They're out somewhere with Itachi.' His jealousy and inferiority complex was showing in his thoughts.
Mito saw her parents and her little sister in the stand. She was sad to see her father there. Jiraiya got a message from a toad that Minato sent about the news and pass it on to her. She took it hard to hear that her father was fired from being Hokage. She partially agreed with his plan against the Magus Killer because she saw it as a way to help Konoha, but her other part disagree with the awful tactic.
"You're late Kakashi, Jiraiya-sama." Hayate told them. The group still be surprised by the audience little angry reaction. They expected them to be cheering for their arrival. Hell, they even plan on returning the same time when they took their students outside of the village to train.
"What happen?" Jiraiya asked.
"Go ask someone else. I have to get the Chunin Exam up and running." He then pointed to Mito and Sasuke. "Thanks to these two, people are very unhappy. That includes all the Kages and Daimyos." Kakashi and Jiraiya nodded understanding the situation. They embarrass the village by forcing them to show that they give out special treatment and go against the rules. The two teachers fucked up. "Now go." He told the two. "Now with their arrival, it's time for the match between Mito Namikaze and Neji Hyuga." People cheered for one of the most anticipated match. Kakashi Shunshin Sasuke to the stand with all the other genin. Mito stayed behind for her fight. Jiraiya Shunshin to his blonde student to talk about all the things he missed. Leaving the two genin to face off against each other, once Neji came down.
"Give up, Fate determine that I will win this match." Neji arrogantly told her. He knew that she wasn't that strong compared to him. He had more experience than her and there is a one year age gap. Even when Mito showed up to the academy, she was about above average in her graduating class. She knew good techniques, but she can't utilize them in a fight without falling to chakra exhaustion first. In a battle of endurance, Neji would be the winner.
"Don't count on it!" She replied as she drew a katana. "Fate is on my side!" Her parents filled her head of her being the Child of Prophecy all throughout her life. Preparing her for her destiny
Hayate gave one last look. "Begin!" The two clash with a slash from a blade and a gentle fist strike.
{In the stand with Minato and Jiraiya}
"You want to fill me in?" Jiraiya asked his student.
"(sigh) It's been chaotic." Minato said with a tired tone.
"I already know that you tried to arrest the Magus Killer when he showed up with the the Land of Springs Daimyo as her bodyguard. And I remember telling you that goes against international laws that the Nidaime Hokage created, but it seems that you went with the plan. I had faith in you that you would make the right decision." He said disappointingly. He hoped that his student wouldn't make that decision when news spread about Koyuki hiring the Magus Killer.
"I thought it was the right thing to do. We need his power and weapons. He also has mokuton. That makes him a part of the Senju clan, so that makes him part of the Leaf." Minato argued.
"We both know that's not true. How the Shodaime unlock Mokuton is a mystery. He is the only one that inherited Mokuton out of everyone in the world. How he got that Kekkei Genkai could be a fluke. There is no proof that it is a bloodline in the first place."
"Naruto" Minato said quietly. Surprising Jiraiya as why he would bring in his dead godson up. "I found out that his full name is Emiya Naruto." He said with a hint of guilt. Since Naruto Uzumaki's death, his entire life was falling apart. The only thing he could do is continue protecting Konoha his way.
"Was there anything else you find out about him?" Jiraiya asked after getting over the initial shock of learning about the same name of his godson and the Magus Killer. He didn't felt as guilty as Minato for Uzumaki's death due to him being in the Land of Whirlpool with the family to raise Mito. Like Minato, he believed that Mito was the Child of Prophecy.
"Nothing beside his name and his hobby of cooking and singing. All other information is public information. The only thing that occurred is that Fugaku talking with him briefly. There is also the fact that Fugaku is the most likely candidate for the Fifth Hokage." He told his teacher. "You and Tsunade are still Hokage candidates. Would either one of you become the Fifth?" With one of them being the Fifth Hokage, he would be able to have some form of command over the village, indirectly. He really didn't want to give up his power.
Jiraiya shook his head. "I'm not cut out to be Hokage no matter what you think. Tsunade is content with being the head medical ninja. I doubt she would add more work to her pile." Minato look sad at his answer. Minato didn't have a good relationship with Fugaku, so he won't be able to influence what he believes that needs to be done, so the village can prosper. He believe that he needed time, so he can turn things around for Konoha and for the Land of Fire.
"How did Mito's training go?" He ask as the match began and the two kids collided.
Jiraiya just shook his head again. "Not as good as I hope. Tsunade couldn't help her with her chakra reserves without becoming Orochimaru." he said bitterly when he mention his former best friend. "She only help her with chakra control. She should be able to perform higher level jutsu, without using excess chakra being added."
"How about summoning and the Rasengan?"
"She is only able to summon Gamakichi and Gamatatsu. Anyone higher, she past out while fainting." Minato look down. "She did manage to master the Rasengan during the little trip." That brought up his spirit.
'At least one thing good came out of this.'
"But she is only capable of doing it once, but that alone require the condition of her using a three high level jutsu maximum before using it. If she use any more jutsu and tries to form the Rasengan, it fails. She simply lacks the chakra reserves to do anything on a high level. I just can't see her as the Child of Prophecy with her chakra reserves."
"Didn't the prophecy change?" He asked.
"Ya it did. Before the Great Toad Sage said that I would take on a student that would bring up a revolution to the shinobi world. I thought it was someone I train before, but he died. Then I thought it was you, but we gave up on that thought. Then I thought it will be Mito. Then the prophecy change after... Naruto's death." He said weakly at the last sentence. It was an awful day to remember. "I still remember it like yesterday. We all came back to Konoha after Tsunade patch up Mito after the Kyuubi escaped. We came home to find that Naruto died and his death resulted in the Kyuubi dying all together. Then I was Reverse Summon to Mt. Myoboku."
"Hahaha. I never saw him that active in his life." He gave a bitter laugh. "The entire prophecy change after we found out that Naruto died. I guess he was the Child of Prophecy and we failed him." He said sadly. Even Minato was sad. He regretted his decision to abandon Naruto to suffer a fate worse than death. Naruto Uzumaki didn't get a quick death, but a painful one where it ended up with the child's body being partially eaten. Part of his guilt is due to letting the one that would change the shinobi world die. He did felt sad for putting his son in that much pain, but not completely. He is a shinobi, so he sacrificed his son for the village as he is trying with his daughter for the village and shinobi world.
"What's the new prophecy, again?"
"The Great Toad Sage said that a boy made of swords will save the shinobi world or let it die. Even if Mito becomes the greatest kenjutsu user, the Great Toad Sage said that the Child of Prophecy is a boy, male. Not female." He told him. Minato didn't buy that part, so he had his daughter learn how to wield a sword, so she can stand a chance to be the Child of Prophecy. He thought that if one child was destined for greatness, why can't the other. "With this prophecy we won't be able to know when the time to save the shinobi world comes. We could just be in another war or be in a fight for our very survival."
Minato only nodded to his comment. He watch the battle between his daughter and Neji. He's proud of her for getting this far even with all the challenges she face in life, but he is now starting to realize that she won't have the power to ever save the shinobi world. She wasn't the best swordswoman. She would alway fall back on all weaponry she was taught by her parents and would throw a few fuinjutsu scroll around. She use some water jutsu after using a scroll to release a large supply of water. She didn't have the chakra capacity to change chakra to water, she needed a source. However, he would always admire her ability to fight when she is at a disadvantage.
"Give up!" Neji told Mito. Mito began to take some heavy breath, but Neji was breathing heavily. She manage to weaken him far more than him weaken her. Throughout the battle, she was mostly weakening herself after the constant use of chakra. She was able to avoid taking any hits, but that also shows that she isn't able to take hits well, but that's common for an average kunoichi.
"I will never give up!" She shouted.
"Stop this madness! I have nothing against you personally." he tried again.
"Too bad. I do!"
"What did I do to you?" He questioned.
"It's not what you did to me! It what you did to Hinata-chan! You mock her. Called her failure. She work extremely hard to get where she is and you mock her for it and even tried to kill her!" She screamed at him. She wouldn't accept what happen to her best friend without retribution. "What gives you the right to say all of that!?"
Neji snorted at that. He then went to untie his headband. Shocking her with the seal on his forehead. "If you're so interested about clan matter, let me fill you in about the Hyuga Clan..[Story about the Hyuga Clan and of his father's death]" He finish the story and re-tied his headband. "That is my right! The main branch family sacrifice my father for the clan head! I have every right to hate everyone part of the main branch!"
Naruto began to grind his teeth. 'This is the reason why I hate the shinobi race. To sacrifice everything for you village. Family, friend, happiness, even life.' he thought. However, he wasn't angry about the story, he was angry about how Neji desire to become a shinobi, but not acknowledge what a shinobi is. It was a double standard in his eyes. Sure he may seem a little hypocritical sometimes, but he never went against his own selfish code. As in, 'I'll never forgive anyone who takes from me.' As in if someone harms the one he loves or something important, he will make them pay. His life is dictated by the ones he loves. He has honor to some degree and a good moral compass, but he willing to go against them if it means to protect his love ones. He isn't really being a hypocrite in a sense that he isn't betraying himself.
So far, there is only one person he can't forgive and that is Minato Namikaze as he's the one that took his humanity and his childhood. It was hard for him to place some blame on Kushina after seeing how she is now.
Before Mito could speak against that, Naruto shouted at Neji. "GROW UP!" Getting everyone's attention in the stadium. "A shinobi is someone that gives up everything for their village. How can you claim to be a shinobi, but cry about losing your father. He was a shinobi, so it was expected he gave up his life for his village! I can't stand your hypocrisy! You became a shinobi! You forfeit everything for your village as soon you put that headband on! Deal with it!" He vented out. Shocking everyone.
Everyone that knew Naruto, Gaara, Krulcifer, Xenovia, Koyuki, Temari, Illya, Ay, Saumi, Mei, Yugito, Kankuro, knew that he held a deep hatred for the shinobi system. He couldn't agree with a system that betrays his own promise of not letting his love one being hurt. He knew that parents would sacrifice their children for their village. In his opinion, parents should sacrifice the village for their children. I guess it's a deep scar for him that won't be remove.
Everyone just stare at the angry white haired freelancer. Thinking about his words. Before Neji or Mito could retort anything.
BOOM
BOOM
A series of explosion occurred all around the village and at the Kage booth. All the Kages jump out of the explosion relatively unharmed. They landed on the roof above the roof. There was Leaf shinobi deploying all around the village already combating the threat. The stadium was complete chaos. All of the foreign shinobi that accompanied their Kage were reacting to the acts by Oto shinobi and ROOT. Genins were in complete shock in what to do. Jonin and Chunin were killed in the surprise attack or fighting off the attackers. Foreign shinobi were conflicted on what to do. The village was attacked, but it wasn't their village. Most just went to protect the VIPs and regroup to decide on their course of action.
"What's going on!?" Ay demanded as he covered himself in his famous Lightning Amor. It was then several shinobi bearing the symbol of the Sound village appeared around him. "You dare attack a kage!" He charge and started to kill them. The other Kage just got out of their Kage cloth to prepare for a battle.
Hiruzen just look around. 'No!' He thought. He saw multiple large smoke screen all around his village. "Who dare attack Konoha!?" He shouted at the shinobi being killed by the Raikage. The other Kage just prepare to defend themselves.
"ku ku ku. Why sensei, it's me of course." A creepy voice appeared from behind them. The four kage turn around to the source of the voice. Hiruzen paled at the sound of the voice. He knew who's that voice belongs to.
"No." Hiruzen whispered. He slowly turn around to face the owner of the voice. All he got was a familiar pale man with eyes that resembles a snake. "Orochimaru!" the old timer growled.
"Ku ku ku. That shouldn't be the response to your most gifted student, sensei." Orochimaru replied.
Before the two could continue their conversation. Onoki started to float up, a sign of him starting to get serious. "What are you doing here, brat?" Onoki replied with a grumpy tone.
"Why if it isn't the legendary Tsuchikage?" Orochimaru said with a little laugh. "I'm here to destroy this village of course. I'm sure that someone like you wouldn't interfere with my schemes if it involve weakening Konoha." He said with a confidence. It was no secret that Iwa held a grudge against Konoha due to Minato's action during the Third Great War. "I think that you would join my efforts in destroying Konoha." He said as he offer a hand.
"(snort) You're right." Onoki said. Scaring Hiruzen.
'If Onoki joins Orochimaru, then the Fourth Great Shinobi War will begin.' Hiruzen started to panic.
It was then that Onoki created a clear white box with a white sphere in it in his hands. He then expanded it to trap Orochimaru. Slightly surprising the snake-man. "You would be right, but I know about your experiments on the citizen of the Land of Stone. We found your base along with all your experiments! There is also the fact that I can see ROOT working with your Oto shinobi! Particle Style: Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu!" It was then that everything in the box, Orochimaru, was turn into dust. A jutsu where it disintegrate the target on a molecular-level.
"Now that is done with." He flew down and turn toward Hiruzen who had a grateful smile. "Hiruzen, I recommend that you deal with your problem. I won't involve myself or my village in your affair." He started to walk away to gather his shinobi to defend the stadium. This way, he can protect the VIPs that matter to his village and his Daimyo without getting involved with the invasion. Besides, by the sign of source of the smoke, most of the fighting were near the wall. It suggested that 'Konoha' 'responded' quickly to the attack.
Hiruzen nodded to this. He hoped that he would receive aid from him, but he could understand his position. In his position, he had to put his village first. In the past, Mei sent out shinobi to each village requesting aid in the rebellion, but all of them refuse to help, including Minato. He then turn towards to his fellow Kages.
Mei spoke first. "I'm sorry Hokage-dono, but I can't risk the few shinobi that Kiri has on a village that I that refuse to come to our aid." She took the same lead as Onoki to defend the stadium until the invasion is over. Rasa gave the same response as the other two.
Hiruzen gave a disappointed sigh. 'I should have expected this. Konoha has help no other village besides itself. I shouldn't expect help when we don't help others as well. At least the Raikage is helping... sort of.' The Raikage was just off killing as many ROOT and Oto shinobi as he can. His shinobi just follow his lead. There would be a few battles between Kumo shinobi and Konoha shinobi. Kumo wasn't helping Konoha, so that would lead some being caught in the crossfire which ends up a face off. It took a Jonin of Konoha to tell his fellow shinobi to stand down. They couldn't be picky with the help they were getting. Kumo was here to kill their enemy, not aid Konoha.
Jiraiya and Minato already left to fight in the front lines against the snake summons and shinobis. Everyone else stayed at the stadium to defend it. The stadium was filled with a lot of citizen and VIPs from all around the Elemental Nation. It made a great target to hit, but it's now the most defended place in the village. Most Konoha shinobi, except genins, left to evacuate the village or join in the counter attack.
Hiruzen look out towards the village to formulate a plan on the roof. He came up with a plan, but he was interrupted.
"Ninja Arts: Four Violet Flames Formation!" Four shinobi shouted that wore similar clothing to Orochimaru. Hiruzen was trap in a powerful barrier. He started to look around to see the situation.
"Ku ku ku. Do you think that that fool, Onoki, was enough to kill me, sensei?" He asked wit a wicked laugh.
"(sigh) I could only hope." Hiruzen responded as he threw off his clothes and prepare to battle. He then pulled out shuriken and threw it at his student as he charge at him. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!" The few shuriken that came at Orochimaru turn into many. Orochimaru could only smirk at his attempt to kill him. He put his hand together.
"Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation!" Orochimaru shouted. It was then a coffin sprouted from the floor of the roof. "First!" The first coffin revealed itself completely. "Second!" Then a second appeared. Both in front of him to block the shurikens.
'Oh no! Don't tell me he knows that jutsu and brought those two back!?' Hiruzen thought. He was composed, but inside he was freaking out. The coffins opens up and revealed two familiar face to the Third Hokage.
{With Minato}
After the explosion erupted. He immediately got ready for battle. He left with Jiraiya to deal with that attackers. The two split up. Jiraiya would deal with the multiple giant snakes, while he started to eliminate the enemy.
Minato killed a ROOT shinobi near him. "Damnit Danzo. How could you attack your home." He said out loud. He couldn't believe that Danzo would attack Konoha. He knew that he killed members of Konoha in the past, but he did it for Konoha. This is a direct attack on the village that he spent his entire life to protect.
"I attack because it's weak." An old familiar voice from behind him declared. Minato teleported away and face him. It was Danzo, but he was different. His eye that he kept under a bandage revealed to be Sharingan. Then there is his supposed missing right arm. It was there, but it wasn't his arm. The arm was white and had a face that resembled Hashirama. There is also the fact that there is about six Sharingans implanted into the arm. Most likely from his attempted extermination of the Uchiha Clan. "It's due to leadership like yours and Hiruzen that we lost the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and the fact that the Uchiha holds too much power." He then started to form a hand sign. "The Uchiha can't be trusted!" He then charge at Minato with an attack. Minato prepared for the battle.
{Later with Hiruzen}
Hiruzen was forced to battle against his own teachers along with his student. Orochimaru brought back Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the first and second Hokage. The worst part of the fight is that he learn that Danzo helped him in his research to allow the reanimated shinobi keep their memory and personality to serve as psychological warfare, but he still had trouble bringing them to their full power when they were alive. The two learn about the current situation of Konoha and the force that was attacking Konoha currently are traitors of Konoha. They were very much sad to see their village fall. It was built on the belief of working together for a brighter future. Konoha failed to live up to that expectation.
A village filled of traitors and people that don't understand the true meaning of the 'Will of Fire.' They somehow created a new meaning for it after their death. Instead of love being the key to peace, it's power that will lead to peace. Those in charge seeking to only gain power for themselves or for the village. Such way will always lead to war.
Then there is the news of the Uchiha Clan. He was surprise about them taking a more proactive role for Konoha. He never trusted them like he trusted the other clan, but if the stories are true, the Uchiha pick up Konoha when his own student, Danzo, tried to bring them down.
Another disappointment they heard is about the Fourth Hokage. He sounded like a powerful shinobi that will serve the village well, but he ended up failing that expectation. He not only broke international laws that Tobirama set up himself, he abandon the village in its time in need and his son to a painful death. To hear that their own villagers killed a innocent four year old in the most brutal way possible and continue to put blame on the dead child for all their misfortune made their heart fall.
'The village isn't the same village they we left it.' Tobirama thought disappointedly. 'It seems that the Uchiha Clan is the only hope for restoring the Will of Fire.' He thought bitterly. He didn't want anyone with Madara's blood running the village, but it seems that it those people are the one keeping the village afloat with their limited power where those in power are sinking the village.
"Saru, dodge!" Hashirama tried to warm him when he launch a kick. However, Hiruzen failed to dodge in time and was launch to the other end of barrier.
"Water style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Tobirama was forced to gather water from the air and form a powerful water dragon to attack Hiruzen. The jutsu landed. Hiruzen was now on his last leg. He couldn't deal with the attack and the attack on his heart from speaking with his teachers again. The ANBU outside could only watch in horror as their Hokage face off against the other two Hokage.
"HAhahahahaha!" Orochimaru laugh maniacally. He love every moment of the battle. No matter what Hiruzen threw at them, one of the two dead man were able to block or counter it and the other attack Hiruzen. It look like that Orochimaru was going to win. Hiruzen stood up as he was covered in bruises and blood. He stare down at his teachers as he prepare for the end.
"I'm sorry Hashirama-sensei, Tobirama-sensei. I failed to stop you two." Hiruzen said sadly.
"It's not your fault. You tried your best" Hashirama told him. Tobirama only grunted.
"I think it's time to finish this, sensei. Kill him Tobirama Senju!" Orochimaru order Tobirama as the one to kill Hiruzen. Tobirama tried to resist, but couldn't, so he slowly started to approach a wounded, tired student. He slowly walk to Hiruzen.
"Zudon."(10) A cool, calm voice was heard by everyone in the barrier. The statement confuse them, but it was then the most unexpected happen.
Bang
Orochimaru's left arm was shot off. The snake fell down to his knees in pain as he clutched his left arm socket.
"Orochimaru-sama!" The man with four arms screamed as he bang on the barrier from his corner.
"How the hell did that happen!?" A redhead woman shouted in confusion. There should be no way through the barrier without harming one of them.
With Orochimaru harm, Tobirama manage to stop, but he didn't have enough control to completely disobey Orochimaru. Both dead man started to look around for a sign from the attacker. At the moment, anyone that harms Orochimaru is their ally.
Hashirama use the chance to take down the forest to see what was happening outside. He thought help finally arrive.
Tobirama scan the barrier and notice a ray of light in the barrier. He pointed towards it. "Look, someone manage to bypass the barrier." He commented. It drew everyone's attention to the ray of light. To the trained eye, it could see that there is a small ray towards Orochimaru. There it left a hole in the barrier where it won't regenerate.
Hashirama and Tobirama narrow their eyes at the hole. To see that the angle of the hole pin pointed towards the Hokage Mountain.
{Earlier with Naruto}
A series of explosion occurred throughout the village. Civilian in the stand were falling asleep. Shinobi from Oto and ROOT started to appear everywhere and started to kill people.
'Looks like my contact was right.' Naruto thought as he put away his grenade launcher into his storage ring. He look around. Krulcifer drew her sidearm and Xenovia drew Asuramaru. Both ready for battle. The Daimyos were panicking. They didn't know what was going on. They turn towards their samurai guards for answer.
BOOM
Multiple holes was created through the walls. Pouring out of them were about 20 or so ROOT shinobi. Already killing the samurai and ninja guards. They came with the intent to capture all the Daimyo, so their master can rule all countries. Xenovia and Krulcifer stayed by Koyuki to protect her, while Naruto stayed by his sister. Illya only look amused at the ROOT ninja. ROOT then turn their eyes towards Xenovia and Krulcifer. They had orders to capture the Magus Killer and his team.
Before Krulcifer started to shoot at the incoming ROOT. "Time Alter: Square Accel." Naruto muttered to himself, but Illya heard him. Naruto moved at blinding speed. He quickly killed all ROOT ninja in the room in only a second. Naruto left a trail of his afterimage when he traveled at that speed. Leaving a trail where he killed all 20 shinobi. Freaking them out because they never seen such speed and how it leaves an afterimage like that. Leaving an afterimage took incredible speed. No one could keep up or keep track. Only the best saw some part of the afterimage that Naruto left behind in his wake. Everyone else just saw a blur.
"Yare yare. Looks like Konoha is in trouble." Naruto said from his original spot with Illya. That drew almost everyone's attention towards him. Naruto was cleaning his hidden blades that he used to kill the ROOT shinobi. If anyone in the room doubted his reputation about being the Fastest Man Alive, they weren't know. Naruto gave off a relaxed demeanor with a smile. "Koyuki, I'm going to deal with the troublemakers." He told her as he retracted his blade. "I hope this is okay with you." She only nodded to his request. Naruto then turn towards the two girls. "Krulcifer, I'm leaving you in charge of protecting Koyuki. Xenovia listen to her when she tells you something." He then turn towards Illya and pulled something out of his coat to give her. It was baby snake Medusa. He gave it to Illya. "Medusa, I'm going to asked that you protect Illya. Okay?" He asked the cute snake. Medusa nodded and wrap herself around Illya's arm. He then started to walk away.
He was completely relax. Not concern with his own safety or the ongoing invasion. He walk towards the best vantage point, the Hokage Rock. He took his time getting there. He allow the shinobi battle each other all around him. Due to his calm demeanor, he was practically a ghost to them. Unable to be notice. Naruto was just walking through the battlefield with a smile.
He finally made it to the top of the mountain and set himself on top of Tobirama's head. It was the best place for a sniper. He then pulled out a Barrett 50 cal. from his ring and set it up.
[You seem happy] Kurama commented at his attitude during the invasion. [Are you happy that Konoha is under attack?] He question when Naruto seem happy the entire time.
"Hard to say." He laid down and align himself with the large sniper rifle. "I'm not trying to be. The best quality for a sniper is lightheartedness." Naruto answer.
[I see. Without giving any killing intent, you can snipe anyone from anywhere as long as they don't sense your killing intent. Keeping yourself happy and calm would make you invisible to shinobi all around you. Smart.] Kurama thought out. Being calm like this is extremely difficult to do in situation like this. Naruto pulled out a special magazine that was filled with handcrafted magical bullets that took time to make, so it can be efficient for a sniping mission. He then loaded the sniper rifle.
Naruto look through the scope and notice the purple barrier and focus on it. "Can't see much in that barrier. There is a bunch of trees. Where did trees come from?" Naruto question.
[I don't know. We know that the Cripple and Snake are invading Konoha. Maybe Hashirama been revived. We found notes that that Snake was researching the reanimation jutsu. He could have brought him back to help destroy the village.]
"Give me a second." Naruto switch out the scope for a thermal vision scope. "I see two heat source in the barrier. One of the source looks like it's getting it's ass kick by nothing, so you might be right. The other one is standing back, but there is no way to confirm that it's Orochimaru. Hold up, I think that one has a very long tongue." Naruto said with a hint of disgust.
[Yup, that one is Orochimaru. Only he would have a tongue that long.]
Naruto only smirk as he aim at the heat source with a long tongue. "Zudon." He said in a cool, calm voice and fired the Barrett. He channel prana, or mana for it's official name (Naruto just like the name prana more), into his voice, so his target can hear the voice that killed him. The target moved a little and the bullet landed on his arm.
"Damn. Miss by an arm." Naruto commented with a hint of amusement. This gave him a chance to continue sniping them. "Looks like the forest is coming down." Naruto switch back to his normal scope. "Looks like both Senju were brought back." Naruto then zoom in on Tobirama.
"Oops, they found me. But it's too late. Zudon." (10) Naruto said with a grin, to which Kurama laugh at. He then fired a barrage of bullets at them.
'The brat is enjoying this.' Kurama thought.
{Back with the Hokages}
Tobirama saw someone at the top of his head. Before he could react-
"Zuodon."
- both he and Hashirama lost their head. Surprising Hiruzen and Orochimaru. Orochimaru was still wounded and couldn't do anything about it, but give out orders to the two dead men, but their heads were slowly regenerating.
Hiruzen was stun at the sudden destruction of his teacher's head. He was still too injured to do anything properly, so he was using this chance to get the breathing room he needed.
Hashirama and Tobirama finally regenerated their head. "Take down the barrier!" Orochimaru commanded of the Sound Four to which, they comply. "You two!" He pointed to Hashirama and Tobirama. "Go after the one on top of the Hokage Rock and kill him!" The two were forced to go ahead and attack Naruto.
'This will be my only chance.' Hiruzen thought. He then went through a series of hand signs as Orochimaru wasn't paying attention to him. "Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal!"
{Hokage Rock}
"Looks like the dead people are coming for me." Naruto said with a grin. He started to pack up his sniper rifle.
[They may not be as strong as they were alive, but they are still powerful. More than enough to overwhelm that old man.] Kurama advice Naruto.
"Ya ya." Naruto took out a cigarette and began smoking. Waiting for the Legendary Hashirama and Tobirama to show up. He wanted to test himself against them.
Naruto enjoy the cigarette as he watch the battle taking place all around Konoha. He was admiring how the Uchiha Clan was fighting for a village that don't deserve them. The Uchiha Clan is the only shinobi clan he would ever respect.
"You finally arrive." Naruto said as he flick the cigarette off the cliff. Naruto got up from the edge of the Hashirama head. He turn around to face the two that was ordered to kill him.
"You!?" Hashirama said loudly in disbelief. "You're only a genin." He couldn't believe that someone this young would be able to harm Orochimaru and bypass a powerful barrier. Tobirama was carefully studying him. There was a feeling that put his guards up.
"Wrong. I'm not even a shinobi." Naruto said as he reach for his storage ring to pull something out and activate it. To their surprise, it was Tobirama's Sword of the Thunder God. He then smiled. "I'm a freelancer..." The wind blew as the showdown was about to begin. "Time Alter: Triple Accel!" He altered the flow of time inside of him to move at an unbelievable rate. He cut Hashirama's arm off and manage to nick off Tobirama's left arm.
'He's fast.' Was the thought between the brothers. Naruto allow them to regenerate their body. He wanted a battle with them.
"Who are you?" Tobirama demanded. "Where are you from? Why do you have my sword?"
"(laugh) You can call my the Magus Killer. The youngest S-Rank 'Shinobi.' I became wanted by Konoha at the age of 12 for being so powerful. I'm from a country called Germany and your sword... I killed the man that stole it long ago." Naruto said with air-quotes for shinobi.
"What? It was stolen?" Tobirama asked. He was shocked by that fact. He expected to be in the Vault inside of the Hokage Tower. The most secure place in the village.
"Several years ago, a jonin of your village stole the sword and went rogue. The Fourth Hokage only tried to attempt to get it back once, but that failed. He since believe it would be a waste of resource to hunt down a relic when there was a terrorist group inside the Land of Fire. That traitor later came to face me when I became the youngest and most wanted S-Rank Shinobi. People wanted me for my power that I train myself to earn. That man was no different. I defeated him and claim the sword as my own."
"Why don't you return it to Konoha? It doesn't belong to you." Hashirama asked. Trying to find the good in the boy.
"I can't in the first place. Konoha place a 100 million ryo bounty on my head because I was powerful and didn't belong to any village. I offer my service to those that can afford me, but Konoha wanted the complete package and thus tried to capture me and force me into servitude." He answered. Hashirama flinch at his words. He couldn't blame him for his action for not returning his little brother's blade. Hashirama then felt the order to kill the boy in front of him and went through a series of hand signs. Tobirama fell to the same fate.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu/ Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Both brothers sent out a powerful dragon to kill the boy. Naruto only smiled. He quickly wrote down some runes in the air that surprise them. They thought it was a highly advance form of fuinjutsu considering it use similar, but different writing. Naruto form a large wall of wood in front of him to take the hit.
"Wood release!?" Hashirama shouted in surprise. He know believe him to be lying because he assume that the wood release is the Senju bloodline. The water dragon destroy the barrier of trees, but at the cost of the jutsu itself.
It was then they saw an ice barrier behind the wood barrier. "Ice release too!" Tobirama said. The ice slowly incase the wooden dragon in itself until the entire dragon was covered in ice. It then exploded into snowflakes, destroying the dragon and leaving a Naruto smirking at them under his scarf mask. He then went under another series of runes. It was then a large amount of wood came out of the ground and charge at them, similar to Hashirama's Nativity of a World of Trees. Tobirama manage to escape it, but Hashirama let it capture him to confirm a theory of his.
'He never claim to be from Konoha or be a Senju, but the wood release prove he is from our family. Unless this isn't wood release, but is something else.' Hashirama thought as he let the wood strangle his entire body. 'It's not wood release!' "Tobirama!" He shouted for his brother after breaking out of the binding wood. "It's not wood release. Wood release absorbs chakra. This is just wood. Powerful wood that doesn't absorb chakra. It has to be some sort of fuinjutsu."
Tobirama took in his brother's explanation. 'That would mean that his ice would be some form of fuinjutsu as well. He wrote strange fuinjutsu to make the jutsu appear, so it has to be fuinjutsu, but I haven't seen anyone perform such a feet. Not even the Uzumaki Clan. To perform kekkei genkai jutsu solely out of fuinjutsu is terrifying. I can see why he is the youngest S-Rank Shinobi if he is capable of this and most likely more. He doesn't have any resemblance to the Uzumaki clan. He has blue eyes and white hair. That is a rare trait for any humans.' Tobirama thought out.
"Tell me, Hashirama Senju." That got his attention. "What does it mean to be a shinobi?" Naruto asked.
"Why do you ask in the first place?" He was curious about the boy as his brother was as well.
"I hate shinobi." Naruto said darkly. "I was expected to become a shinobi, but I listen to my family and chose the path I want. I became an assassin because my father is an assassin. A man that kill for his belief and for his selfish reasons. So tell me, what does it mean to be a shinobi? Why is it expected that everyone have to become a tool for their village?"
Hashirama absorb what Naruto told him. "A shinobi is a person that endures. They endure pain to protect their village. Shinobi aren't tools. They are human with power to fight for a higher purpose."
"Hahaha." Naruto laugh at him. Making Hashirama confused, but Tobirama frown. "I hear that a shinobi is someone that endures, but I only see that they sacrifice."
"What do you mean?" Tobirama asked. He interested him.
"In my opinion, a shinobi is someone that sacrifice everything for their village. Their life, dreams, goals, love ones, friends, family, and everything else that makes them a human being. They become nothing, but tools for their village. Even you Hashirama sacrifice everything for your village. You killed your best friend, sacrifice the life of your children to a life of the shinobi way, your dream of peace for the world, and eventually your life. Every shinobi sacrifice everything for their village. You even brainwash children!" Naruto explained. Hashirama started to have flashbacks. He saw his sibling dying, father dying, him become clan head, him creating Konoha with Madara, him killing Madara, and finally, him fighting in a war and dying when he wanted peace. Everything he said was true, but he didn't give up his beliefs.
"We don't brainwash children!" Tobirama countered. "We train them into fighting for their village."
"That's brainwashing. Children are easily impress and can be convince to do anything if they are taught to. You taught children at the age of 5 to kill people for their village. How can there be peace if the next generation are indoctrinated to kill anyone if it meant to be a service for their village."
Hashirama walked up. "Why do you feel this way? There has to be a reason for this." He could see his anger and bitterness for the shinobi race. All he said is true about shinobi, but it's something that he didn't agree with.
After a minute of silence. "It's because I was born in the Elemental Nation. I was born into one of the shinobi village and it was expected that I give up my life for a village that wanted me dead. A man found me and adopted me and took me beyond the Veil." Surprising the two. They knew of the Veil, but would keep an open mind about it when everyone believes it to be the end of the world. "My father, the man that save me from death, gave me back my humanity and I got to get out of the Veil. Out there, there was humans without chakra. A place where peace exist between over a hundred country. No more killing, no more sacrifice, no more pain. Humans no longer seeking out war, but seek out to create a miracle. Here, shinobi seek out blood. My father created a miracle and save me from dying after getting past the Veil. My father even manage to bring back someone from the dead without sacrificing someone. He just let the dead feed on his own power to sustain itself in the living world." That shock Hashirama. He frown at the reanimation jutsu that his brother created as it required someone to die to work. The magus way was a more humane way to bring back the dead.
After a moment. "Your Uzumaki Naruto." Tobirama ask, but it was more of a statement. He manage to piece it together. Even after their death, pain that children endure was kept at a minimal until a certain age. Naruto's story from himself and from Hiruzen and his current age all pointed to the Magus Killer being Uzumaki Naruto. Hashirama stare at Naruto as he heard of his painful story from his student. The only thing that Hiruzen left out was that he was really the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi instead of a decoy Jinchuriki as he couldn't bring himself to tell them that as Minato was at fault for that.
Naruto gave a bitter laugh. "Uzumaki died on that cross ten years ago. I'm Emiya Naruto, son of Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern. A proud magus of the Emiya house." They weren't surprise at his answer. Most people can't claim to be the same person after going through something so traumatic. Even in the warring state era, children died, never tortured like how Naruto was. "It's time to end this!" Naruto threw down the sword and drew his Thompson Contender and shot Hashirama with the regular bullet he usually keeps in the chamber. Hashirama lost part of his chest from the gunshot. Tobirama charge at Naruto with a kunai, but Naruto already reloaded the Contender with a chakra Origin Round. To his surprise, it didn't work on Tobirama as it would work on other shinobis.
'Damn reanimation. It only slows down his regeneration. I guess the reanimation jutsu rebuilds the chakra network.' Naruto analyze while Tobirama's body reform. It did explode due to his chakra going out of control and ripped his body apart due to the Origin Round.
After the two regenerated, the three charge at each other to a battle of death. The Senju brothers didn't want to kill the kid that suffered more than them, but they were forced to. They couldn't blame Naruto for hating the shinobi way as they can never face the amount of pain that Naruto face at such a young age. Even in their time, they get to be children at that age when Naruto was forced to survive completely on his own. Naruto put up a great fight against the two. He would always end up on top and beat them, but they regenerate and had unlimited chakra.
"Damn, why won't you two stay down!" Naruto shouted. He was getting tired at the endless combat. He shown to be more powerful than the two, but they can last till the end of time, while Naruto can't keep up forever, even with his chakra and his Noble Kitsune Circuits.
"We will keep regenerating. You need to seal us or completely destroy our body!" Tobirama told him. The two finally accepted their time to return to the afterlife.
"So a series of fast attacks might work." Naruto thought out loud. Naruto jump back to gain a lot of distance. He then activated his ring, but instead of a small bright like, it was a large blinding light. After the light disappear, the two were face with strange floating weapons that was glowing. "Multiple Gun Control!" (11) Naruto shouted. He was surrounded by rifle, pistol, submachine-guns, and sniper rifle.
'Damn that Zelretch was right. Manga and anime really helps.' Naruto thought. He created the mana-guns that he is currently using after reading the manga, Witch Hunter by Cho Jung-man. It was a powerful technique in the manga, so he was inspired to recreate it. He made guns that focus on absorbing his mana to fire concentrated mana bullet. It took all of his skills in runes to create the mana-guns and their advance form. It was even harder to learn how to recreate how to control them like how Tasha controlled multiple guns at the same time. It involved a lot of trial and error.
The two Senju brother were stun at the sight. They didn't understand the scene, but they instinctively felt that it was the thing that would defeat them.
"Open fire!"
{Stadium}
Naruto using the Multiple Gun Control for the first time without testing, worked. It work just like in the manga, but it was very consuming on his circuits. He then return to the stadium to return to his loved ones after obliterating Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
By the time, Naruto finish his fight, the invasion was over. Fugaku successfully lead a counter attack, Itachi eliminated all the traitors to Konoha, and Hiruzen gave up his life to take away Orochimaru's jutsu. However, both Orochimaru and Danzo escape. Danzo use his last Izanagi to escape the battle against Minato and Hiruzen failed to take Orochimaru to the grave with him. Everyone else gather back at the stadium to discuss what to do next. The Chunin Exam was definitely over and now there is the explanation that Konoha have to give to the other villages.
"You had any trouble Krulcifer, Xenovia?" He asked his lovers.
"No problem on our end." Krulcifer replied.
"Just a few shinobi trying to kill us, but they weren't strong." Xenovia said with satisfaction.
Illya ran up and hug him. "Onii-chan! You're hurt!" She was the first to notice his injuries.
"(nervous laugh) I just had to deal with Hashirama and Tobirama. For two dead man, they couldn't stay down when I put them down." Naruto answered. He only got a look from her and the others. Unfortunately, they weren't the only one that heard his story.
Minato heard it. 'Not good. He defeated Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama when they were reanimated by Orochimaru!? He's too powerful and dangerous. I can't let him be a threat to Konoha if he's willing to assist anyone... Fighting Danzo took a lot out of me, I can't fight the Magus Killer in my current condition. I have no choice.' He thought. During his battle with Danzo, Danzo's Izanagi was tricky to deal with, so he took a lot of damage against the old man. He also use the teleportation a lot to help fight off the invasion army. He was weak and low on chakra. His career as Hokage is gone, so he wasn't thinking clearly. He went through the a series of hand signs that match the last jutsu that the Third Hokage used. "Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal!" It was then that the "Shinigami" appeared behind him that only he could here.
"Minato! What have you done!?" Jiraiya shouted in shock. Tsunade and Kushina were shock as well. The three recognize the jutsu that he just perform. Jiraiya's shout gain the attention of all the others.
"Forgive me. It's for Konoha." Minato whispered to them. He then sent the Shinigami's arm towards Naruto to steal his soul.
Naruto just stared at Minato with confusion. Others from his group did the same. Naruto suddenly felt his entire body froze and he saw the Shinigami behind Minato. After seeing the supposed God of Death, Naruto only saw blood. His eyes turn red with slit like Kurama's. It didn't take a rocket scientist to tell that he's piss. People notice the change. To those that knows the truth, they were scared as what can cause him to lose his emotion like that. He was always calm and professional. Minato expected him to be frozen in fear as you should when facing the God of Death, but Naruto was angry instead.
"You" Naruto muttered. "You" He muttered again, but he was tightening his fist in anger. "YOU FAKER!" Naruto unconsciously drew upon Kurama's chakra and went into the Kyuubi's Chakra Mode(12). His eyes turn golden orange and his body was coated in yellow chakra, which emanates from them reminiscent of flickering flames and had six magatama markings around their neck, some sort of prominent circular/swirl design over their stomach, and various other lines extending along their body.
Naruto unconsciously sent out his chakra through the Shinigami's arm. "HOW DARE A FAKE LIKE YOU TOUCH THE REAL DEAL, YOU FAKER!" It was then that the Shinigami body was coated in Kurama's chakra. At that moment, the Shinigami became visible to all. They were all frozen due to the fearful aura that the Shinigami gave off, but it was quickly fading. Illya, Krulcifer, and Xenovia knew that Naruto was currently in his God Mode and was defeating a supposed god.
"GHAAAA!" Minato screamed out in pain. Tsunade rush over to heal him after the Shinigami's aura started to fade. He too was coated in the golden chakra that the faker was coated in. Everyone could see the fear in the Shinigami. It seem to be afraid of Naruto. To Jiraiya, Minato, Kushina, and Tsunade, to scare the God of Death was unheard of.
When Naruto saw the Shinigami, he knew the truth immediately. It may have been due to his passive spell, Structural Grasp, or due to the divine blood in him, but he knew that what Minato summon was nothing, but a fake. Naruto didn't know what overcame him to be so angry. It could be his divine blood or Kurama. It didn't matter, the deed was done and the truth revealed.
"YOU'RE ONLY A CHAKRA CONSTRUCT THAT REMEMBERS THE AGE OF GODS! YOU DARE PRETEND TO BE A GOD IN MY PRESENCE! BE GONE!" Naruto burn the fake god as well as Minato's chakra network. Due to the link, Naruto killed the chakra construct that Minato summon, but also burn his chakra network completely. He may took away his ability to use chakra forever, but he saved his life from the Faker.
Naruto finally calm down and turn off the Kyuubi Chakra Mode. He first unlock that power a few years ago. Towards the end of his training. He removed the seal completely and allow Kurama to do as he wish. Naruto trusted his best friend with his life and Kurama became synchronize with Naruto. Allowing more freedom for Kurama in his body and a new power for Naruto. The only problem with this power is the immense train it put on his body. Even with Avalon, Naruto's body is not mature enough to handle the power.
Tsunade did her best to heal all of the burns that Minato suffered. Jiraiya and Kushina stared at the Magus Killer because they recognize that hatred. It was all too similar to one creature they kept imprisoned for many years long ago. Xenovia, Krulcifer and Illya look a little nervous as the secret was about to be revealed.
Minato push his body up from the guard as he needed to know the truth. Even if his body is burn and his chakra network destroyed, not known to him at the moment, he had to know if the boy in front of him is who he thinks it is.
"Who are you!?" He said weakly. "How can you have the Kyuubi!?"
The other kages kept quiet and watch the interaction. There were some people that want to defend Naruto because they were his friends. The entire arena became deathly quiet as they waited for Naruto's answer. He only continue to stare at the Konoha group with cold eyes.
Before Naruto gave out an answer.
KICK SWIPE
Naruto was kick away by a mysterious stranger. The stranger was a man with long black hair, red eyes, an open white collared shirt, and black pants. However he was holding something that didn't belong to him.
Everyone prepared themselves for the newcomer, but the people look at the injured Magus Killer. With his scarf removed, they got a clear picture of his face. To their surprise and fear, he had there distinct birthmarks that reminded them of the dead Uzumaki Naruto and Mito Namikaze. Kushina started to tear up. The boy's eye was similar to the man that gave her children, his face had a structure that show a mix of herself and Minato, and the birthmark told her everything.
"N-N-Naruto." She cried out softly. Minato, Tsunade, Kakashi, and Jiraiya came to the same conclusion. They were all shock.
"It can't be!"
"Is it really you?"
"This has to be a genjutsu!"
"How?"
Naruto ignored them. His eyes was on the man that attack him. More importantly it was on the man's hand. He held what Naruto consider to be one of the most precious things he have in his life. His eyes turn red like Kurama. His body was shaking in complete anger.
"BASTARD! GIVE THAT BACK!" Naruto shouted in pure rage. It was more anger than he was releasing when facing the Faker.
"(mocking laugh) Emiya Naruto son of Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel von Einzbern and brother to Illyasviel von Einzbern. The boy born from the death of Uzumaki Naruto. Son of Namikaze Minato and Namikaze Kushina and twin brother of Namikaze Mito. I expected more from the apprentice of Zelretch." The man gave off a mocking laughter. It only angered Naruto more as he wave the scarf, his first gift, that Irisviel gave him, like a trophy. Naruto didn't care for anything anymore. He let Kurama's chakra take over and went into version two of Tailed Beast cloak. Covering himself in a blood red chakra and leaving his eyes white. Only filled with anger. Illya, Xenovia, and Krulcifer tried to attack, but they were blown away. They knew what he was and the fact that he is outside of Gaia's influence, he was more powerful than anyone in the stadium. The others tried to attack, but were swatted away like flies. Hurting their pride and striking fear in them. Someone capable of defeating four kages at once was no simple task. Some may have been weaken due to the invasion, but the man was far too powerful. Kushina tried to get to Naruto, but she was swatted away by one of Naruto's tail.
Naruto charge at the man, but he too was swatted away.
"Is this all you can do, Emiya-kun? I'm so disappointed." The man mock him. Naruto just continued to viciously attack the man, but all attempts failed like how others tried.
"GIVE IT BACK!" Naruto shouted at him, but was kick away and knock into the wall. To his surprise, the man toss the scarf to Naruto, effectively calming him down.
Naruto finally calm down enough to release the version two. Most of the strong shinobi were already injured by the mysterious man. Even the magus went down during their attack. They couldn't take on a Dead Apostle Ancestor. The man's attention was solely focus on Naruto.
"Michael Roa Valdamjong. The 'Extra' of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors. Last I heard, Arcueid Brunestud killed your last reincarnation. What is the Infinite Reincarnator inside the Veil?" Naruto ask as he put on his scarf, but not covering his face this time. The truth was revealed, so it was meaningless to hide his face. However, the his nickname caught the attention of a wounded Jiraiya.
'If what Naruto says is true, that means that this man can reincarnate like how Orochimaru was trying to do. Those two can never meet.' He thought. He and the others believe the introduction that the man gave. They believe that this is their Naruto that somehow survive all those years ago.
Naruto could only stare at the wounded around him. It only made him angrier to see how of the one he loves in pain.
"Hahaha. I'm here for you. You're special and interest me greatly. You would make a great host for my next reincarnation." He disappear and reappear right in front of him to grab him. (13)
Naruto eyes widen. This vampire was no joke. He believe that the title extra was given to him due to being weak compared to others, but strong compared to dead apostate. In truth, it is the fact that he is rejected from the list, so he is considered an extra. 'Time Alter: Penta Accel!' Naruto thought as he escape the man. He pulled out his Contender to shoot the blood sucker with an Origin Round. Something that should work due to him being a powerful magus.
However, Michael anticipated this. He use a lightning spell to attack him. Aiming for the joint of his right shoulder.
"AHHHHHHH!" Naruto screamed in pain.
"Onii-chan!"
"Naruto-kun/Naruto!"
The three female magus shouted in horror. Michael slash off Naruto's right arm to prevent him to use Kiritsugu's Mystic Code. It was the only threat the Michael was worried about. He could handle anything Naruto threw at him.
Naruto was on his knees holding onto his socket that once held his right arm. He look up to see the monster grinning madly at him. Naruto started to surround his body in Kurama chakra, Tailed Beast Cloak Version one.
"(laugh) The god sealed inside of you is more than enough to kill me, but to use his full power will kill you." He then sent a discharge of lightning at Naruto. Naruto just stared the man in anger as he refused to give up. "Those eyes. The one that never give up. I will crush your will." He then punch him. Causing Naruto to suffer a terrible beat down. All of his attack was wasted as someone on Michael's level with Gaia's influence removed, he was too powerful.
[Naruto! You have to do it. Try to activate your Reality Marble. It's your only choice.] Kurama roared at as Naruto was constantly beaten. Then a final punch landed on the bloodied Naruto and sent him flying. During the entire battle, everyone could only watch in fear as they couldn't help him, but they notice that Naruto never gave up.
'It failed the last time I tried it, Kurama.'
[It's your only chance to beat him.]
Naruto only stare down at the vampire. He resign at the fact as he needed to use something that he failed at using. He was too wounded to perform any of his high-level spells without hurting everyone else and he was already tired from battling the reanimated Hokages.
Naruto stood up and face the man. He then remember the aria that he created to help realize his Reality Marble. Everyone could only watch the showdown. Naruto raise his left arm and pointed it towards the man with his hands open. (14)
I am the Bone of my Sword!
Swords started to appear all around him. They were even other weapons like spears, daggers, and poles. All aim at the man in front of him, Michael Roa Valdamjong. People could only stare in shock to see so many weapons.
"An aria? Interesting." Michael commented. "You're trying to use your Reality Marble." Shocking the girls. They knew that Naruto haven't been able to perform such a feat.
Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood,
I Strike from the Shadow in the Defense of those I Cherish!
All the weapons launch at the vampire. However he easily dodge or destroyed them. He was hit several times, but nothing life threatening. He then grab one of the swords and threw it at Naruto. The sword struck Naruto, but something else happen that he didn't expect.
"Hahaha. Your Reality Marble isn't working! It's taking over your body. Your body is made of swords!" However, that didn't discourage Naruto.
On the sidelines, Jiraiya paid close attention to the showdown and was shocked to hear and see what was happening. Then the words of the Great Toad Elder Sage rang throughout his head. 'A boy made of swords shall save the ninja world or leave it to burn.' 'Is Naruto the Child of Prophecy that the Sage mention.' He closely at Naruto when the blade struck him. He saw something that confirm his suspicion. 'Underneath the skin is metal. They're swords. He is the one!'
Naruto charged at him holding onto a copy of Ex-Durandal that he made.
Unaware of True Peace,
Nor Aware of Despair,
I am the Blade Against All Who Threaten my Loved Ones!
Naruto took a slash at Michael and a large explosion occurred due to the property of Xenovia's Mystic Code. He then jump back to a safe distant seeing as the sword did hurt him. He was hoping that this will be the moment that he can activate his Reality Marble.
This is my Vow to Protect those I Cherish,
Answer my Resolve, Unlimited Blade Works!
A blinding light covered the stadium. The light soon died out.
"No. I failed." Naruto muttered. He fell to his knees then fell unconscious.
"ONII-CHAN!" Illya cried out as she ran out to him unconscious body.
"Naruto-kun/Naruto!" Krulcifer and Xenovia screamed out as well as they ran to him to protect him as best they can.
"HAHAHAHHAHAHA! You failed! You can't even activate your Reality Marble!" Michael laugh out loud. He then slowly walk up to the small group of magus. Kushina, Tsunade, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Yugito, Bee, Aye, Mei, Minato, Fugaku, Itachi and Jiraiya tried to get up to save Naruto, but they were too wounded from the invasion or from Naruto or from Michael. They cared about saving the white haired boy, but they couldn't get up. The invasion took a lot out of them and Michael took more out of them.
The three girls stood in the way of the Extra.
"Get out of my way girls." He commanded the three. The three girls on got up and block his path from Naruto. The three stare down at their possible death.
"Never! You won't hurt my family!" Illya cried out. She lost both of her parents away. She would be damn if she lets her little brother dies.
"We will never abandon Naruto-kun. He saved us. It's our time to save him!" Krulcifer told him. Not afraid of the most likely outcome of them dying.
"You have to kill us first if you want to take him!" Xenovia claimed. She held both Asuramaru and Ex-Durandal in her hands. Ready for a death battle.
"So be it." He slowly walked towards them. Pacing himself, so he can strike fear into the girls. He continue until a shining light came off of Illya's arm. Blinding everyone once again. However, this time was different.
"You dare threaten my servant. I shall make you pay for trying to take away what belongs to me!" A womanly voice said as the light began to fade away. Then suddenly dozens of astral snakes came out of the light on strike Michael. The attack actually harmed him and force him back.
Once the light completely faded, there stood a beautiful woman. Her appearance suggested that she is the same age as Naruto and the others. She has long crimson colored hair, pale snow white skin and golden colored eyes. She's wearing a purple skin tight dress. Her beauty easily captured the hearts of all the men around her. Even women couldn't deny her beauty outshine their own for someone so young.
"Who are you?!" Michael growled out as others wonder the same.
"I should have expected this from a lesser race." She said with pure arrogance. "I'm Medusa, Queen of the Snakemen Tribe. Emiya Naruto is our first summoner. His life belongs to me now. If anyone is going to take it away, it would be me." She then form more astral snakes made of nature energy to destroy him. She easily press Michael Roa Valdamjong.
"You're using senjutsu!" He realize. This caught the attention of Jiraiya as he too uses senjutsu, but what disturb Jiraiya is the fact that she uses snakes. "How is it so powerful!? There is no way it can be this powerful!? Not even the toads or snakes summons' senjutsu can match this!"
She only smirk. "Lowly creatures like them don't know how to properly use senjutsu like my race. They mix nature energy with their chakra to create senjutsu. We merely refine nature energy without the need to mix it with chakra. Making our senjutsu far superior than any other senjutsu practitioner." She said with a laugh at the end. She was confident like her race being the strongest. Her strength only reinforce that belief. She then form wings out of the refine nature energy to fly up towards the sky. "Remember this. This boy's life belongs to this queen. No one else." She then create a small army of the senjutsu astral snakes to strike at him.
'Damnit. Her senjutsu is far too powerful for me. I can't handle it in this body!' Michael thought. He then cut his losses to get Naruto and left. A powerful explosion was created by the attack. Medusa only narrow her eyes as she saw him escape.
She then flew down next to the group of girls protecting Naruto. Before she could say something, Michael voice echo throughout the stadium, leaving a message.
"Remember this Emiya Naruto. You're far more special than you realize. It wasn't your magical circuits that saved you from Gaia. I will have your body as my next reincarnation and find out why Gaia consider you so special."
This statement confuse everyone, but the magi understood this. They were aware of his impossible existence outside of the Veil, but there seems to be more that not even they know about. There was only one person that would know the truth, but he's too annoying to deal with.
Seeing the battle finally over, people started to gather around Naruto. Xenovia already retrieve Naruto's arm, so Illya can reattach it to his body. With Illya's expertise with magecraft and Avalon, she should be able to save Naruto and his arm.
Kushina started to walk over to finally hold her son, but was stop by the younger looking redhead.
"What are you doing? Get out of my way! He's my son!" Kushina screamed at Medusa.
Medusa only look angry. "You dare raise your voice against this queen. I'll make you pain for such disrespect!" She then sent one of her snakes to attack her. Before she was attacked, Jiraiya grab her and jump back.
"Calm down everyone! What is most important is that we get Naruto some help." Jiraiya tried to calm everyone.
"His life belong to me. I will have my healers take care of my summoner. Not some weakling that bows down to those pesky frogs." Medusa mock him. One look at him, she knew that he was a summoner of the toads.
Things got tense. Those part of Konoha tried to get Naruto under their supervision, while Medusa defended him. She remember all the time that Naruto spent with her while she was asleep. It was humiliating to have him treat her as a pet, but she can't deny she enjoy his company and his kindness to herself when she was in that shameful state. Tsunade would try to heal him, but only be push away by Xenovia. Krulcifer watch over Illya as she did her best to reattach his arm and save his magic crest.
The magic crest that Kiritsugu implanted on him. Magic Crest can only be past down by blood, so that brings up the question how Naruto manage to inherit the Emiya's crest? The answer is simple. Kiritsugu never cared for the life of a magus and most, if not all, the circuits/research on the crest was gone. It was simply a sign of being the head of the Emiya House. Due to the very little magic circuits inside of the magic crest, it was safe enough to transfer it onto a new bloodline. There was also the fact of Avalon and Kurama helping work things out on the inside of Naruto body to accept the crest and heal all the damage the transfer cause(15).
Fugaku tried to calm his people down and suggested taking Naruto to a hospital, so his friends could heal him. It fell on deaf ears as Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina, and a chakraless Minato want him under their complete contr- I mean supervision. They needed to know the full truth.
The argument seems to be turning a little violent.
"I have enough of your meddling!" Medusa shouted at them in rage.
"So have I!" Kushina form chakra chains to attack her, but Medusa form her powerful astral/senjutsu snakes to break the chains and attack her and send her flying. Due to her years of retirement, she could not keep up in a real battle anymore. Jiraiya summon Fukasaku and Shima to help him battle the queen.
"Jiraiya-chan. What have you summon us for?" Shima asked.
"Forgive me Shima-sama, Fukasaku-sama. I need your help with this opponent. She is far stronger than I thought and she's capable of using senjutsu." Jiraiya told the two.
"Who is it?" Fukasaku asked around. He then felt a lot of nature energy surrounding a redheaded girl.
"Ha. You summon two little frogs to battle me. I shall make the world remember the power of the Snakemen Tribe!" She form another army of snakes, ready to attack on her command.
"J-Jiraiya-chan! You summon us to fight her! She the queen of the Snakemen Tribe. The most powerful summons to ever exist!" Shima panic. With the use of senjutsu, they were able to read her life signature and realize who she is. Only the elders remember them as the Snakemen Tribe don't leave their home anymore like how other summons do.
"Snakemen Tribe? Who are they? If they're the most powerful summons, why haven't you told me?" Jiraiya asked. Medusa only watch in amusement as the toads and member of Konoha slightly panic at the news of her identity. She allow them to tell of the humans of her people.
"The snakemen tribe are extremely unique and powerful. They originated from the snake summons, but evolved. They evolve to the point that they can be their own specie like humans. They're extremely powerful and far more advance with senjutsu than any other summons. They only respect strength. No ninja have been able to get them to be their summoner because they were killed. They lost interest in the shinobi world anymore and stay home." Fukasaku explained. He then hop towards Medusa. Who was grinning due to the fear that his explanation put into the humans she consider as pests. "What are you doing outside of the Tageer Desert, Queen Medusa?" He asked respectfully.
"I'm here because our first summoner is in need of my help. I won't allow the first worthy human of my race to obey anyone, but me." She told the old toad. He was completely shock as Shima was too. To hear the most prideful race accepting a summoner is unheard of. "I won't allow anyone take him from me. His debt is yet to be payed. He will pay with a life of servitude." She told him. That shock them. It sounded like slavery and it didn't sit well with them.
"How can you be so cruel!? He's the Child of Prophecy! I won't allow him be controlled by the likes of you!" Jiraiya declared.
"Haha. I guess you heard the prophecy from that old fool, Gamamaru." She laugh. "The fool even if he's a several years older than myself-" That surprise the pervert even more. She had the body of a goddess in his opinion, but she claims to be almost as old as him. "- the fool is so narrow minded. He can't see beyond two feet in front of him. I don't care if this boy is the Child of Prophecy. He is strong and belong to me. Now, get out of my sight." She launch her attack at the shock group. They couldn't believe she was so selfish. They wanted Naruto back for themselves or to fulfill the prophecy.
However, all the snakes dissipate before the army of snakes could attack their prey that their queen commanded.
"Who dares interfere!?" Medusa shouted. She wasn't the one to cancel the attack, so she wonder who did.
"Alright kids, I think that this has gone on long enough, don't you?" A man asked as he began to materialize between the opposing groups. The man was in black clothing, holding a cane, had red eyes, and gray hair and beard.
"Who are you?" Medusa demanded deadly. She knew that someone capable of canceling her attack isn't someone to mess with.
"Zelretch!?" Xenovia shouted in surprise. Catching everyone's attention.
"Girl, who is this man?" Medusa demanded of Xenovia. She didn't know them and didn't care to know them.
The old vampire just stood dare with a laughing grin. He was going to let Xenovia do the introduction for him.
"This is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg." Getting some odd looks due to the non-Japanese name from the shinobis. "He's one of the strongest beings on this planet." Shocking them, but Medusa didn't show it. She was confident in her own power. "He's also Naruto-sama's Godfather." That was the kicker for them.
"Impossible! I'm Naruto's godfather!" Jiraiya called out. He was planning to take complete control of Naruto's life so he would be loyal to Konoha and save the Shinobi World.
"Kukuku. That's where you're wrong." Zelretch told him. Jiraiya glared at the old man. "You're Uzumaki Naruto's godfather, but he died ten years ago. This boy-" He pointed to the wounded boy that was being healed by Illya and Krulcifer. "-is Emiya Naruto. I saved his life from being an experiment and his father named me his godfather. He's my responsibility, not yours."
"No! He isn't yours! He's mine!" Kushina cried out and charge at him. Jiraiya and Tsunade followed. All three preparing their most powerful attack.
"Kukuku. Youngster like yourself should respect their elder." He then snap his finger and they teleported high in the sky. Only for them to come crash down. All three were in pain from the sudden teleportation. He then showed up and whack them on the head with his cane. "This should keep you three from acting out."
It confuse them, but they quickly notice that he done something to them. The first sign was that Tsunade transform into an old woman. The other two couldn't mold their chakra.
"What the hell did you do to me!?" Tsunade demanded.
"I lock your chakra network. Until you all behave, I won't unlock it." Zelretch told them. The three finally calm down as they couldn't do anything anymore. "But first off, I need to tend to my dear godson." He then left the shinobi to their own device. All they knew that it was futile to go against them. Fugaku just watched. He needed to tread carefully. One wrong step and he would be facing a powerful woman and a mysterious man. The others seem to not care.
He approach Naruto with an orb in his hand. "Step aside for a minute, Illya-chan." He told her. As much she wanted to continue to heal him to the best of her abilities, she couldn't disobey a magician. He then slam the orb right into Naruto's stomach. "Consider this a birthday present." He said with a small smirk. The orb started to sink into Naruto.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto unconsciously screamed out in pain.
"Bastard! I told you his life belongs to me!" Medusa shouted and sent one of her snakes to attack him. Zelretch only jump back after the orb merge with Naruto's stomach. Before Medusa can continue her attack, another light shine from Naruto. Which got everyone's attention. It was a quick shine as it faded quickly. However, the shine left something behind. It left a pet size fox with red-orange fur, red eyes and nine tails. To Konoha shinobi, they realize what or who that fox was.
"K-Kurama!" All three female magus shouted in shock. They already met him when Naruto brought them into his mindscape.
"I-Impossible." Kurama muttered. He look around. He look at his body and his surrounding. He then stared at a grinning vampire. "How did you set me free Zelretch!? What have you done?" He demanded, but the girls couldn't take him seriously. He was too adorable in his current state, but they refrain to do anything to him... yet.
"The orb. It's part of the servant system. Your current body is real, but originally it was made of mana. I gave you a body to live outside of Naruto-kun. It's something you deserve. Before you worry for his life, the orb connects you to him. He won't die with you free. You can easily come and go as you wish now, but now that there is a range on this." Zelretch told him. Shocking the kitsune. He didn't know what to think. He always wanted his freedom and when Naruto allow him the chance for freedom, he turn it down, so Naruto can live. Now he has his freedom and his friend.
Before Kurama could reply. "Now, let's get Naruto somewhere safe. Kurama, he's your best friend, so I expect you to watch over him." Zelretch told him as he began ordering the girls around to move Naruto somewhere safe to rest.
Medusa reluctantly agreed with his ordering.
{Three Weeks Later}
After the entire fiasco, everyone started to get to work. Kages of other villages and their respective members left the village. Some shinobi wanted to stay because they wanted to help their white haired friend, but all they could do is leave a letter for him to read when he wakes up. Konoha started to secure the village and started to rebuild.
Inside of the Hokage Tower were Zelretch, Namikaze family, except for the kids, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Fugaku, the newly appointed Fifth Hokage. Naruto was taken to a hospital room that Zelretch personally secure. Illya, Kurama, Medusa, Krulcifer, Xenovia, and Koyuki stayed with Naruto the entire time. There was also the room being a small dimension that Zelretch created, so there was enough room for all the girls to relax and watch over the Magus Killer. Medusa refuse to leave until she makes Naruto pay for the shame he put her in when she was asleep.
"What do you mean you won't hand over my own son!?" Minato demanded as he slam his fist into the wall.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Kushina had the similar line of thinking with Minato. He's their child, so he belongs to them.
"Like I said. He's Kiritsugu's and Irisviel's son. They raised him and I show up as the drunk uncle for a couple of his birthday party. Good times." Zelretch told him.
"Then where are these two. Shouldn't they be here?" Jiraiya asked. He heard those two names often when he talk to him. It was a no brainer that they were the one to save Naruto all those years ago and adopt him.
"They would if they were alive." He said solemnly. "They died away seven years ago." Bringing the mood down.
"If they died, then he only have us left. He belongs with his family." Kushina said.
"You're right. He does belong with his family, but you're not his family. Illya-chan is his last remaining family. I doubt that he would abandon her for people that abandon him." Making them flinch.
"We are still his parents. Even if we abandon him-" Minato said.
"Don't you dare!" Zelretch said darkly. It was people like this he hates. People that tries to be the good guy when they only have bad intentions. "When you abandon him 14 years ago, you forfeit the rights to be his parents. I bet you don't even know him."
"Of course I know my own son." Kushina tried to counter.
"Okay then, what is his favorite hobby? His favorite color? What is the most important thing he consider in life?"
"I I, i-it's" Kushina didn't know how to answer. She may claim to be his mother, but she spent literally a few hours with him.
"If Kiritsugu and Irisviel were here, they would say he loves to cook. His favorite color is blue, the same color of the scarf that Irisviel knitted for him on his first birthday party, his fifth birthday. He consider the most important thing in life is family. The reason he is so powerful is because many people wanted to experiment on him and they want to control his sister. He train hard, so he can protect all of the people he considered family. He once said that he will burn the planet if it meant saving Illya. If you didn't know any of those small details, then you can't call him his parents."
"There is the prophecy!" Jiraiya pointed out. "He needs to save the world!"
"Hahhahahaha. Don't make me laugh. I know Naruto-kun far better than any of you. The brat does have a strong moral code, but he won't risk his life when it doesn't involve Illya or the other girls. Besides, that prophecy only talks about the ninja world. Not the whole world." He then swipe his hand and a hologram spell was used to project an image of the entire planet. That caught the eyes of everyone in the room. He highlighted the Elemental Nations. "This is your world. The rest is ours." He told. Shocking everyone of how big their planet is. Yesterday, they thought the world was flat and small. Now it's round and huge.
Fugaku, sitting in the Hokage's chair decided to speak up after letting his shinobi try to get Naruto back. He saw that it was a futile endeavor. It was better to build up new strength. "Zelretch-san. Can you explain how the world's work. All the times we tried to travel beyond the Veil, no bodies come back. We assume it to be the end of the world, since there is no chakra beyond the Veil." This got the shinobi attention. The was the biggest question of the shinobi life.
He only grin. "Finally, someone with manners. You truly earn the title of Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha." Getting a glare from Minato. "First off, chakra isn't life. For everyone inside the Veil, you adapted to chakra so much that it became life to you. You assume that life equals chakra, but that is wrong. In fact, it's that your chakra is link to your life force due to your constant use of it from your ancestors that the shinobi race evolve to need chakra to live. Outside of the Veil, we don't need stolen power."
"What do you mean 'stolen' power?" Tsunade interrupted.
"Sorry, but that is something you need to figure out. Now back to my tale. Since your kind needs chakra to live, you can't leave the Veil because of the planet." That got some looks. "The planet is alive. The moon and this planet and many others are living entities. All planet is an entity, ours is no difference. Our planet, Earth, her living entity is known as Gaia and she hates the shinobi race. Long ago, someone put up a powerful barrier to keep Gaia from getting in completely to kill everyone. However, outside of the Veil, Gaia is very much in control, so she sucks out the chakra of anyone coming out and killing them. The Veil is your prison and your shield. You can't escape without dying."
"Then how did Naruto get out?" Jiraiya question.
"That there is a secret. Kiritsugu did the impossible and got Naruto-kun out of the Veil alive, but doing so, he drew a target on him. In our world, we are very advance and found peace. There hasn't been a war for over 60 years." Shocking Jiraiya and Minato. They always wanted peace for the world, but to hear that there hasn't been a conflict for over 60 years sounds impossible. "There is an international organization that keeps the peace between the hundreds of countries living together. Then there is a secret organization that keeps the magical world hidden."
"Magic. Pfft. Yeah right." Jiraiya said.
"Believe it or not. Magic is real. Humans made magecraft, aka magic, as their way to fights gods during the ancient times. You, shinobi, stole chakra. That what separates us. You steal, while we create. Why do you think there isn't any peace? Your power is not yours, so you can't find a way to create peace when at your core, you're evil." The Namikaze family and friends had to think over it.
Fugaku quickly absorb the information. It didn't matter to him, he needed to protect Konoha, not look for peace. War was coming and he knew it. The invasion is proof of that.
"What will become of Emiya Naruto?" Fugaku asked, getting them out of their stupor.
"He's staying here in Konoha, Fugaku!" Minato shouted at him, but Fugaku activated his Sharingan and glare at Minato.
"That's 'Hokage-sama' to you, Jonin. I asked the proper guardian of Emiya Naruto, not for your opinion." Fugaku, the Fifth Hokage told him. He didn't know why he still consider him a Jonin when he can't wield chakra anymore.
"Forgive me Hokage-sama." Minato reluctantly apologize.
Zelretch grin. "He coming home with me."
"No way in hell!" Shouted Minato and Kushina.
"Too bad. I'm his godfather. It's my duty to take care of him. He will be safe out of the Veil."
"I have a contract with the Magus Killer. He can't leave without completing it." Fugaku told him. He still needed all the help to get rid of ROOT in the Land of Fire and hunt down Orochimaru. Minato losing the ability to mold chakra would make them weaker, but he had faith in his clan and his shinobi to train harder to become the best.
"(sigh) Keep the other half of the money. You will need to rebuild the village with it. I can give you the location of all of ROOT and Orochimaru base in the Land of Fire." Zelretch then handed him a map with all the location. He already knew of Danzo and Orochimaru. He needed to get something for Naruto after his run in with the two. He would always watch out for his apprentice/godson. Fugaku accepted the map because the list that Naruto provided him were found to be true. He had no reason to doubt this man.
"What about Naruto? He seems to be the honorable type and not drop the job until it's done." Fugaku asked.
"He's also my apprentice. I have discipline him many time already. He knows not to go against a magician."
"This is the second time I heard the term, magician. Is there any meaning to it?" Fugaku asked.
"Glad you ask. In our world, there are magus and magician. Magus are the standard people that practice magecraft. Magician practice magic."
"What's the difference between magic and magecraft?"
"Magic is creating miracles. Magecraft is using mana, magic energy, to create or do something that technology can do. Many years ago, flying was considered magic, but human then created the airplane." He showed a projected picture of an early airplane to modern airplanes. "These craft can travel through the air and around the world in a few hours or a day. Magic is something that can't be replicated by normal means, as we hide the existence of magic from the public. There are only three magician in the entire world, including myself. Where there are thousands of magus that practice magecraft. Such magic are time travel that Aoko-chan uses and I use the Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope is the magic of traveling between parallel worlds, or realities." They look confused. They understood time travel, which shock them to the core. Time travel could help the shinobi in so many ways, but they didn't understand realities or parallel worlds.
"(sigh) Primitives. We live in a universe right now. A universe is all existing matter and space considered as a whole; the cosmos." That they understood. "There is an alternate universe for each story that will ever be born for every variation of existence. If you can think of a story that sounds impossible, it's actually a real reality somewhere. Your best dream or worst nightmare is reality somewhere out there. There is unlimited amount of universe, so there is endless possibilities. I have the ability to travel to all of them and I'm training my apprentice, Naruto-kun, to take up the mantle of being the Magician of the Second Magic." Deeply disturbing them. If they think of another reality that they wanted to live in, it already existed somewhere outside of their grasp.
"Is that what you're going to do. Train Naruto to be your apprentice?" Jiraiya asked.
"Eventually. But first, he goes to school." Surprising them. "Don't be surprised. In our world, we focus on our children. They deserve to live a normal life where they aren't indoctrinated to fight for their country. We focus on letting them enjoy life, not take it away. Children can easily be convinced to do what adults say, that's why you have child soldiers. If the world knew about you guys, war would be declare because child soldier is highly frown upon that countries threaten war over protecting the children... But ya, I'm going to take Naruto to school where he can enjoy life and live a normal life that he deserves and his parents wants."
"But he's my son! He should stay here with me!" Kushina shouted.
Zelretch look at her in the eyes, which cause her to flinch. "You're not his mother, Irisviel is. Besides, you're asking Naruto to stay in a place he hates and the people here wants him dead. You're also asking him to kill people." he said sadly at the last part. "You don't know how much he suffers. He's just like his father, Kiritsugu. He hurts himself to save others. Naruto is too kind for this life, so I'm forcing it on him." Fugaku began to see the similarities between his son, Itachi, and Naruto. Both kind children, but force themselves to do what needs to be done and they show great potential in it.
Kushina look down in shame and began to cry. Minato held her. She couldn't ask Naruto to do that after hearing what Zelretch said. She didn't want to hurt him when he's hurting himself, but she didn't want to lose him.
{Hospital, Naruto's Room}
The girls spent a lot of time there. They enjoy the room. It was quite modern. Even Medusa found the technology very interesting. Kurama was being pet by Illya. Xenovia and Krulcifer were talking. Medusa was enjoying the TV with Koyuki.
"Ahhhh." Naruto moaned. He finally woke up.
"Onii-chan!/Naruto!/ Naruto-kun!" Illya, Xenovia, and Krulcifer shouted as they rush towards his bed. Kurama just went to sit on Koyuki and stay back with the two older women.
Naruto started to climb out of the bed.
"Naruto. You shouldn't get out of bed. You just woke up." Xenovia told him.
"She's right, Onii-chan!"
"I'm fine. I think I slept enough. I feel good. Besides, Kurama kept me updated when I was unconscious." All three heads snap to the grinning fox.
"You said you couldn't contact him." Krulcifer said.
"Oh. I lied." He laughed. They only grumbled. Naruto started to stretch, but his eyes was caught to a redhead beauty in the room. Apparently the fox didn't mention who she was, much to Kurama's joy. He walk over to Medusa, who seem to be glaring at him.
"Who are you, miss?" Naruto asked. He was a little nervous because he was immediately attracted to her.
She only glared harder. "You dare treat me like your pet!? I shall make you pay!" She shouted with a blush. She then sent a horde of snakes to eat him.
Naruto started to cry out of pain. The girls wanted to help, but Medusa's glare scared them away. After several minutes of cries and moans, Medusa release the snake.
"What did I ever did to you!?" Naruto screamed at Medusa. Medusa seem to get even angrier.
"You dare forget me. I'm Queen Medusa!"
"No way! You far more beautiful than Queen Medusa!" He only got slap hard by a blushing redhead.
Kurama was enjoying every minute. It was all going according to his plan. "Kit!" Kurama shouted to the down Naruto with a big slap mark on his face from Koyuki's lap. "I forgot to mention that Queen Medusa woke up after you pass out with your fight against that vampire. She drove him away." He use his tail to point towards her. "This is her new form. I thought you would enjoy it."
Naruto only blush up like a tomato. The girls gave him a blank stare.
"Ahhh, Medusa-"
SLAP
"You shall address me as Queen Highness!"
"ALRIGHT!" He rubbed his face due to the slap. "Queen Highness. Why are you still here? Why didn't you return to the Tageer Desert?"
"You don't enjoy this queen's company!?"
"I do! I do! Very much!" He said with his arm frantically waving his arms. "I thought you would return to your home when you woke up. Isn't your people more important than me?"
She took some time to think about his question. "I find you very interesting. Your world also interest me. You shall entertain me and be my manservant." She declared.
"What!?" Everyone, but a laughing Kurama, shouted.
It was then the door was swung open. Revealing a certain trolling vampire.
"Pack up brats! You're going to Fuyuki City and will be attending Homurahara Academy next month!" He said joyfully.
"WHAT!?"

Author Note
I just love Angel Beats! It's the first anime that got me into anime. Naruto and the other mainstream anime don't count. Such a tear jerker.
For Translations, I'm using Google Translate, so I'm sorry if anything is wrong.
Also, yes. I'm bashing Hinata. I don't like her. She annoys the hell out of me. Yup, I'm one of the Hinata hater folks and I'm going to get shit for it, but look it from my viewpoint. She only stalks Naruto. Rarely speaking to him. She gave him burn cream or whatever cream during the chunin exam, but that is all she ever done for him. When he was alone and in pain, where was she. When he needed someone to acknowledge him, where was she. ALL those time, she was stalking him and NOT helping him. A lot of other girls have help Naruto far more than Hinata, some actually save his life(Hinata failed at that too!). I don't see the point of her. Her shyness was cute at first, but it became so damn annoying and it went so far to cripple her. I will always hate her and never read/support any stories that have her. I'm so disappointed with the ending of Naruto Shippuden. Fuck her. Fuck Sakura. Fuck Sasuke. And fuck Konoha!... I feel a lot better expressing myself there. :)
This would be my last chapter for awhile. I'm going to start on the Once and Future King until it's done. So don't expect any update on this or other stories for a while.
I hope you enjoy this long chapter. I put a lot of work into it. Sorry for the wait, more of life hit me, but it was the good life that hit me.
I only gave the short version of each chunin exam battle. This chapter is long enough and you didn't need to know how those minor battles go.
I did make Tobirama and Hashirama stronger than they were in cannon. Orochimaru teamed up with Danzo earlier on and with his help, he was able to further research the Reanimation Jutsu, making the reanimated shinobi stronger.
Sue me, I made most of the battle short during the invasion or completely ignored the battle scene. This is a lot of work for me! Over 34k word count is a lot of work. Cut me some slack when I get lazy for not writing every single last details and the ending. I just want to get it over with. Just be happy for the extremely long chapter, but don't expect another like this.
The next chapter of Magus Killer will be about the Grail War or a short chapter about life as a normal kid for the group. Don't expect it soon, going to work on The Once and Future King for a while.
Also, I know someone is going to give me shit for grammar and errors. I say again, I WON'T GET A BETA READER. I only write to satisfy my own imagination. Getting beta reader takes time and more work, which I won't put into. I only do a quick reading of it to do corrections, not an in-depth one, so don't bitch to me about the errors. I get it once in awhile and it annoys me. I like reading all the feedback/reviews, but flamers and grammar nazis annoys me.
Once again, thanks for your support everyone.
1: Keep in mind that Naruto hasn't convince Jubstacheit to not turn Illya into a Lesser Grail at the moment/in the flashback. Illya becomes the guardian of the Lesser Grail instead of the Lesser Grail itself after a deal with Jubstacheit.
2: Sorry, no lemon for you. :P I have been getting some comments on my other stories about doing a lemon. It just that I don't know how to. I don't read lemons, just skip them when I read. I guess I should start reading them to get an idea on how to write up one. I hope you like my romance scene between Naruto and Krulcifer.
3: If you forgot about Naruto's hairstyle, refer to chapter 2 or look at my profile picture.
4: Translation: Prepare for anything. I sense a lot of chakra and negative feeling gathered at the gate.
5: I was tempted to make this point a cliffhanger, at Konoha Gate where Naruto face off against Minato. That would be the best time to make a cliffhanger, but I change my mind and make this into a large chapter. It's also will be the last one for a while, while I work on the Once and Future King.
6: Kisuke is just a random name.
7: Translation - Hahahahaha! Oh my god. I can't believe that just happen! Hahahaha. Bastard getting humiliated like that. In front of his people no less! Hahahaha!
8: Is it kimono or yukata that people wear in public. I don't know, so I put kimono.
9: I don't remember my own timeline. I don't know how old Naruto is at the moment. Then again, I don't know how old I am exactly. I need to count the years. I just know that I'm a college student.
10: Zudon is Japanese for 'Bang' or 'Boom'. I wonder if anyone will get the reference here and the scene that goes with it that I'm recreating. For those that don't get it, it from Owari no Seraph where Shinya Hiragi is in sniper position and says his famous line in the first season. It in ep 11, towards the end if you want to watch it.
11: It's the mana guns that Tasha Godspell uses in Witch Hunters.
12: To those that are confused about the which one, like me, it's the chakra mode that Naruto first use after stealing Kurama's chakra on the Turtle Island. Took me two minutes to figure out which forms were which.
13: I don't know how Michael Roa Valdamjong reincarnate. I just use the wiki and read that Michael chose a vessel beforehand. So I believe that he can chose his next body like Orochimaru.
14: The aria isn't mine. I ask help from a fan of my stories. He deserves the credit. Monkeyman9835
15: I remember reading in the reviews that someone pointed out that magic crest can only be past down by blood. Here is my explanation to that.
