A/N: Hey guys! Here's Ch. 2 of Nine Tailed Prototype; people seem to really like it. Even a guy who has never heard of Prototype. On a side note, what the actual fuck, people? I'm already on Ch. 2 of Fallen Blades and no one has faved, followed, or reviewed it? But this story I just started has got a bunch of faves and follows and a couple of reviews. That hurts my feelings you ignore a story of mine D:
"Hey"- Human Speech
'Hey'- Human thought
"Hey"- Jutsu/Demon speech/Blacklight Technique
'Hey'- Demon Thought
After Naruto realized that his Jii-san knew about him having Kyuubi, he just shrugged it off for something to talk about tomorrow and went to sleep. In his dreams, he appeared in some weird sewer place, the water up to his shins. He waded through the water, towards a faint glow in the distance.
"Why are you wading?" A voice asked.
"I'm not, I'm waiting for something to happen." Naruto answered.
"So you're waiting while you're wading?" It asked.
"No I'm just wading." He replied.
"I thought you said you were waiting."
"I did; I'm wading through this water."
"So you're waiting."
"Okay, wait!" He snapped.
"...Isn't that what you're doing?" It asked.
"Oh just fuck you. Who are you?" He asked.
"Turn around." It said.
Naruto did so, and immediately jumped back in surprise, as he came face to snout with a gargantuan fox in golden-orange fur with blacks marks around its red slitted eyes, nine huge tails swaying behind it as it eyed the boy with mirth.
"K-Kyuubi..." Naruto stuttered, stepping away from the chakra demon.
"I'm not going to hurt you, kit; I want to help you. I know I'm the reason for your life being hell with these villagers, but I want to make it up to you by helping you be an awesome shinobi and perhaps augment your Blacklight powers, I see a bright future ahead of you with these powers. Will you take my offer?" The Kyuubi asked.
Naruto had to think hard about this situation. While he hated the Kyuubi for it being the cause of his life, he couldn't fault the demon for being sealed in him, and he didn't seem evil; actually, he seemed rather nice and a bit humorous if that initial 'conversation' could allude to anything. He decided. "I'll forgive you, Kyuubi. I can't really be mad at what happened before I was born. But if I may ask, why did you attack Konoha that night?" He asked.
Kyuubi growled lowly as memories resurfaced in its mind. "Madara Uchiha..." It simply said. "He hypnotized me with his damnable Sharingan and made me attack Konoha after extracting me from my previous vessel; no, I won't tell you about them... yet. But know this: Madara Uchiha is the initial reason your life is the way it is." It answered, becoming quiet to let the information sink in.
Naruto was silent at first as he thought of this 'Madara Uchiha.' Then he started gritting his teeth and clenching his fist; then he growled deep in his throat, his body shifting with biomass all over as his rage powered it's actions. "I swear to Kami, I will kill Madara Uchiha!" He yelled with determination, causing Kyuubi to smirk.
"Great, kit. I can start training you in controlling your youkai and learning some ninjutsu, but thanks to me, you will have no chance to learn genjutsu, you need excellent chakra control for that and even if you train to control my chakra, control can only get you so far. But don't worry, with my training, you won't need the opportunity genjutsu can give you, as you'll be fast and strong enough to beat your opponent into the ground. Now since this is your mindscape, we can train you in ninjutsu and chakra control, which you can also do while you're awake. First, I need you to imagine we're in a forest." Kyuubi explained and asked.
Naruto nodded and closed his eyes and imagined so, as their surroundings shifted and swayed, becoming a dense forest, the bars disappearing from Kyuubi's cage as said demon was engulfed in a bright light, blinding Naruto momentarily. When the light died down, 'Kyuubi' showed himself, or rather, herself. She was a beautiful woman with pale skin, but not disturbingly so, in a red kimono that showed a lot of cleavage to her ample breasts (No, I will never stop making Kyuubi a hot-as-fuck woman, so don't ask), he flaming red hair falling down her back like a waterfall of blood as she had a pair of fox ears on her head and nine swaying fox tails behind her as she also had the same whisker marks as Naruto on her cheeks, only thicker and more feral, and she was barefoot, standing in a rather provocative pose as she watched Naruto's face redden.
"K-Kyuubi?" He stuttered, his face heating up as he fought his hormonal instincts for a certain part of his anatomy to react.
"In the sexy flesh." She answered, shrugging off the left shoulder of her outfit, showing more of her skin, knocking Naruto back in a nosebleed.
"You're just teasing the poor boy, Kyuubi." A voice said within the darkness. The mentioned demon turned her head towards the darkness as eyes just like Naruto's when he first changed stared at her.
"I know, but it's fun." She replied.
"True enough. Hold on, I'll wake up the boy." The eyes drifted over to Naruto's unconscious form and picked him up with a dark limb that was invisible within the darkness and raised another and proceeded to wake Naruto up the same way James Heller did within the Hokage Tower, bitch-slapping the shit out of his face. This time, it took 20 seconds for Naruto to wake up. "God, my hand's tired." The figure commented as he dropped Naruto on his ass once he started to stir.
"Why does my face hurt again?" Naruto groaned as he sat up, rubbing his sore cheek. Due to her own sick twisted sense of humor, Naruto sat up with his face going right into her cleavage. "And why can't I see?" He asked, muffled.
Kyuubi moaned slightly at his attempt to speak and hugged his head. "Hello, Naru-kuuuuun." She cooed into his ear, sending a shiver down his spine as he realized where he was. She felt him go limp and pulled herself back, seeing his unconscious face with a bit of a nosebleed and giggled at him and laid him down.
"I swear, you're gonna molest the kid one of these days." The dark figure commented, apparently shaking its head.
"Not that he would mind." Kyuubi shot back, licking her lips as she stared at Naruto's body, his torso still shown through his ripped jumpsuit, the boy not having the energy to change last night.
"That's it; I'm using the Muscle Mass." It said with finality as it hoisted Naruto up again and reared back an arm, this time the limb visible. It shifted with the tell-tale sign of biomass conversion as it took the form of a grey arm with rippling muscles, its elbow having what seems like an overgrown bone from within the forearm, extending pass the elbow, creating a hole in the arm between it and the main forearm, going back into the enlarged fist. It threw Naruto up into the air a bit, and slammed its fist into his stomach, sending him flying back like a meat torpedo, slamming into a tree.
"…Ow…" Naruto whispered as he immediately awoke to the pain, peeling himself off the wall and falling down. "Wasn't that a bit extreme?" He asked in a pained whisper.
"Maybe, but it got the job done. Now that Kyuubi is done molesting you…" The figure started, glaring at said demon, who merely looked the other way and whistled innocently. "We can talk. I am essentially the embodiment of Blacklight, the virus you injected yourself with." It explained.
Naruto nodded in understanding. "Okay, I understand that, but mind if I ask some questions?" He asked, receiving a nod. "How did Mercer and Heller end up here? I get the feeling they aren't from my world."
"Actually, they were a part of your world before it became your world. Their time was before the Elemental Nations formed; when the final infection wave occurred, Heller did his thing, and the virus spread over the world, eradicating humanity. But there was a small faction of humans among several nations that survived the outbreak, but were slightly infected. They repopulated this small continent, creating your people; the abilities you call jutsu and Kekkei Genkai are actually the breeding of multiple Blacklight carriers, combined with the teachings of the man you call the Rikudou Sennin, showing them the capabilities of chakra. The entire time, Mercer and Heller stayed behind the scenes, watching, waiting for someone to show enough promise like them." It explained.
Naruto's eyes widened at the implications; Alex and James were older than all of the Elemental Nations and were technically the fathers of shinobi, under the Rikudou Sennin, the 'grandfather' that taught them the ways of chakra. "Wow… So why are they here? And how did they know I injected myself?" He asked.
"The answer to both questions is an ability that you will learn from James Heller." It answered simply.
"Okay… Why is everyone so accepting of this?" He asked.
"Kid, it was the middle of the night, only you, Sarutobi, Iruka, James, and Alex know about it, and everyone was tired; well, maybe not the last two. Iruka was there when Heller and Mercer showed up, so he'll kinda believe anything when it involves you, and I have a sneaking suspicion Sarutobi was spying on us with that crystal ball of his. Trust me, when word gets around, shit will hit the fan." It answered flatly.
Naruto nodded, accepting for now. He was curious for what this 'ability' he'll learn from James will be. Turning to Kyuubi, he started questioning her. "So what's your take on this?" He asked.
She merely shrugged. "I think this type of power opens up a lot of opportunities in terms of your shinobi career. Plus the ability to shift your body mass around is sure to scare some people." She finished with an evil grin.
Naruto nodded nervously at her reaction but mentally agreed. This Blacklight ability opens up a world of possibilities. "So why did you have me change this place to a forest?" He asked.
"Chakra control exercises." She answered.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "How will training in my sleep help my in the waking world?" He asked.
"You don't know how chakra control works, do you? It's all mental capacity; if you do it in your sleep, it transfers to your physical body as if you did all that training while you were awake, without the problem of exhaustion. Now get to concentrating chakra to your feet and climb that tree, gaki!" She ordered.
Naruto jumped when she yelled that order but complied and began concentrating chakra to his feet and approached the tree. He put his right foot on it, waited a bit to get the feeling of it sticking, raised his other foot, and started a slow ascent up the tree, only to topple up three steps ahead. He landed on his head and merely got back up and tried again.
"Just a hint: Use Kage Bunshin." Kyuubi offered.
Naruto nodded, seeing how the Kage Bunshin sends knowledge upon dispelling, a fact that he read in the Scroll of Seals right before Iruka arrived. He made the cross seal and summoned 100 clones and ordered them all to train in the exercise. Naruto spent the rest of the night training within his mindscape.
(The Next Morning)
Naruto awoke, feeling oddly refreshed yet exhausted, at least mentally. He shrugged it off to the mental training and got out of bed, took a shower and performed his morning routine, put on his jumpsuit, a fact that he deemed he should really get new clothes, and decided to test to see if all that mental training actually affects him in the real world. He walked up to a tree, almost subconsciously called on the necessary chakra, and walked up the tree that, he realized when he reached the top, was as tall as the Hokage Tower and overlooked the village. He realized it took absolutely no effort and immediately jumped into the air, whooping in triumph, until gravity reared its ugly head and brought him down to mother Earth, landing on his head.
"Note to self: do not jump on trees." He muttered to himself as he got back up and headed to the stair he frequented where the owner actually didn't hate him to get a new set of clothes. He figured he had enough time to buy new clothes before going to school. He entered, waving towards the nice man who waved back, and perused his inventory for something that called to him.
(30 minutes later)
Naruto stepped out of the dressing room, after his long period of looking over the clothes, he chose some, and chose some others to be customized, a choice that he knew would cost him more ryo, but he didn't mind; he decided to use his 'ramen' money for this endeavor. After the 10 minute wait for the customizations, he now stood in his new attire.
He now wore a sleeveless black leather jacket with the Uzumaki clan (not that he knew it) on his back in red, a regular zip-up hooded jacket under it in dark red with a white interior with the sleeves tucked into combat tape on his wrists, fingerless gloves like Heller wore, dark blue ANBU pants with kunai and shuriken pouches on both thighs, also tucked into tape around his ankles, finishing with steel-toed boots. He paid for everything, smiling at the comment from the vendor at his outfit, and ran towards the Academy, unknowingly using biomass pumped to his legs to speed him up immensely so he was running at mid-Chuunin speed.
He appeared at the Academy within 30 seconds, stopping almost immediately when he was in front of it, standing as the backlash of his sudden stop blew all the wind and dust pass him, shocking everyone witnessing him. His hood hid his eyes, making him seem ominous and shifty, creating more death glares and hateful whispers from villagers. He merely smirked at them, creating some pale faces at what they thought he was insinuating and stepped away from him, unintentionally giving him passage into the Academy.
Taking advantage of their fear, he brushed passed them and went inside to Iruka's classroom. Upon sliding the door open, the room immediately went quiet, all eyes on him. Slightly unnerved by the sudden attention, he merely shrugged it off and slowly walked to his seat, the heavy footsteps of his boots echoing in the silence.
'Who the heck does he think he is, trying to act all cool? There's no way Naruto-baka can be cooler than Sasuke-kun!' One pink haired banshee ranted in her head.
'Huh, Naruto seems finally serious; maybe he'll finally start showing these people who he really is.' Sasuke thought.
'Whoa, Naruto looks hot!' Several now ex-Sasuke fangirls thought, including Ino Yamanaka.
'N-Naruto-kun…' one adorable Hyuuga heiress thought as she watched Naruto walk to his seat.
'Munch-munch-munch-munch…' Choji thought as he ate his bag of chips.
"Zzzzzz…" Shikamaru was asleep.
'…' Thought Shino, or rather didn't; wow, he's even quiet in his mind.
'Huh, Naruto seems pretty awesome. Wonder if he's gotten better; can't wait for our next spar.' Thought Kiba, one of Naruto's childhood friends, his family one of the more understanding clans about Naruto's status.
Naruto, oblivious of these thoughts, merely walked to his seat next to Sasuke and silently sat down.
The class was completely silent until the resident she-bitch opened her big mouth, not as big as her forehead, of course. "Naruto-baka, what do you think you're doing, acting all cool and taking my seat?!" Sakura yelled.
Naruto merely turned his head towards her, his hidden gaze boring into her soul, shutting her up instantly. "Bitch please, I'm not acting cool, I am cool." He commented, shocking everyone around at his non-affectionate reference to Sakura, as he seemed to have a giant crush on her the entire Academy year. Hinata silently cheered in her head that the object of her affection had given up his pointless crush.
Shocked out of her mind, Sakura didn't answer, letting Naruto turn his head back forward, and subsequently let his head fall on the desk, immediately sleeping, his soft snores eliciting sweat drops from the class as they let out breathes they didn't know they were holding, the tension broken.
While Naruto was indeed sleeping, he was also training once again in his mind, beginning the second chakra control exercise: water walking. He failed the first 10 or 20 times, but slowly got the hang of it with help from his Kage Bunshin's, completing the exercise in the time it took Iruka to show up, about 40 minutes later after his own arrival.
When said instructor arrived, Sasuke subtly nudged Naruto awake, the latter giving a nod of thanks towards the Uchiha. Contrary to popular belief, Naruto and Sasuke were almost brothers the entire year of their Academy days, finding comfort in their company since they were both without family. They had a friendly rivalry, even though both could admit Naruto wasn't much of a rival, since before this drastic change he knew almost nothing in terms of ninjutsu and his taijutsu was abyssmal. But, just seeing the new Naruto, Sasuke could tell he will finally be a worthy rival.
Both friends listened as Iruka listed off the teams. "Team 7 will be Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura…" He started, only to be cut off by a high pitched squeal of delight and a mini-rant about 'love conquers all' or some such nonsense. Thinking ahead, Iruka, Naruto, and Sasuke all had ear plugs, smirking as the rest of the class winced at her volume, and took them out after her reaction. "…and Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka continued, smirking as Sakura's happiness disappeared into a dismal abyss of sadness and she shut up, while Naruto and Sasuke bumped their fists together in personal victory. Hinata was inwardly distraught that she wouldn't be with Naruto. "Your sensei will be Mitarashi Anko." He finished, gulping loudly at the idea of the crazy Tokubetsu Jounin teaching his students. He raised a brow at the sidenote. "As a side note, Uzumaki Naruto will have two co-sensei's: Alex Mercer and James Heller." He added, receiving confused looks from his students as such strange names and why the 'dead last' gets two personal sensei's.
"Why does Naruto get extra sensei's?" A student voiced.
"Ha, maybe 'cause he sucks so bad; he needs all the help he can get." Another student jabbed.
Looking to Naruto for a silent question of permission, Iruka smothered a smug smirk at what he was going to say next when Naruto nodded ever so slightly. "No, because they will be teaching him to use his Kekkei Genkai." He replied, letting his smirk show when the two students, as well as many others, all shut up in awe.
"Since when does the dobe have a Kekkei Genkai?!" A student shouted.
"Since I decided to shut you all up." Naruto replied, loud enough for the whole class to hear.
Before Iruka could continue listing off the teams, a black blur shot through the window and into the classroom, a banner shooting open and embedding its corners into the walls with kunai, reading 'The Sexy Mitarashi Anko is here!' with what appeared to be a small chibi of the woman giving the peace sign on the bottom right corner. When the blur opened up, it showed said Tokubetsu Jounin; her purple hair done up in a pineapple style, like Shikamaru, with two bangs framing her hazel eyes, her beige trench coat open to show her fishnet-clad body, her large breasts just barely hidden, and her short tan skirt and shin guards as she twirled a kunai in both hands. "Alright, gaki's, my team, follow me or I'm leaving your ass behind!" She said and jumped through the remaining unbroken window, needlessly causing more destruction.
About thirty seconds after that whole… thing, everyone developed a giant sweat drop at what the flying fuck just happened.
'And she's our sensei? Kami help us.' Team 7 thought simultaneously.
Shrugging that awkward moment off, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all jumped out the last window the crazy woman broke.
"…I didn't get to wish them good luck as genin." Iruka just realized, praying silently to Kami to have mercy on their souls.
(Outside Forest of Death)
The new Team 7 arrived in front of Training Ground 44, their sensei grinning like a madwoman as she awaited her new genin. She didn't seem like the kind of woman who would take a genin team, but she wanted to make the villager's suck it and see she wasn't so bad.
The two males on the team arrived about five seconds after she did, and the only female took almost a full minute to arrive, and she did so looking like she would collapse any minute now.
Before she could start her introduction, two large black blurs appeared at her sides, making her automatically go on guard in defense.
"Who are you, and why couldn't I sense your approaching chakra?!" She snapped, wielding her kunai in reverse grips.
"We don't have chakra." The shorter light-skinned man answer, his face shadowed by the hood on his head, much like one of her new genin.
"Now put those butter knives away before I rip yo' ass limb from limb." The taller darker man added gruffly, his arms shifting into horrible mutated claws that shined in the sun, causing Anko to back off.
The first man sighed. "Heller, for the last time, stop threatening everyone; this is a shinobi village, they will always be on guard." He said.
"I know." Heller replied smugly, shifting his arms back to normal, crossing them and smirking at the disturbed faces of the genin, minus Naruto.
"Hello Alex-sensei, James-sensei." Naruto greeted.
"What's up, little shit?" James replied, slapping his hand on Naruto's shoulder, causing him to almost fall on his face.
"I assume you weren't told about us." Alex stated to Anko, receiving a shake of the head. "Very well then. We are your co-sensei's for Naruto to help him train in his 'Kekkei Genkai' while you actually teach him shinobi aspects, as we can't use chakra." He replied.
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask; if you guys can't use charka because of 'it' how can I?" Naruto asked.
James suddenly became serious. "We believe it's because of your… special condition." He replied, receiving a nod of understanding from Naruto, and a subtly glare from Anko, who had an idea about his supposed 'special condition.'
Before she could question him on how he knows about that, Mercer intervened. "So, let's get introductions underway. I am Alex Mercer. I don't really like anything, but I really dislike manipulative people who seek to use others as weapons. I don't really have a hobby or a dream." He finished.
Team 7 merely shrugged, seeing as they gave them something. James went next. "I am James Heller. I like fucking around with people, I dislike the same things as Mercer, I don't have any hobbies or dreams." He said, silently wincing, as he wished he could add he dreamed of a world where he could live peacefully with his daughter, but she died of old age a couple of decades after the whole Manhattan incident; he was truly alone in this world now, no family, his only 'friend' the sarcastic fuck that got him in this situation, and any other friends he could make would soon die around him, especially in this time where anyone could die tomorrow.
Sensing his sadness, Anko cast him a look and continued the introductions. "I'm Mitarashi Anko, I like dango and interrogating people, I dislike a certain snake…" She ground out, gritting her teeth as she rested a hand on her neck. "My hobbies include playing around in the Forest of Death and my dream is to be rid of something from my past." She finished, eliciting nods from Alex and James, and confused looks from her genin. "Pinkie, you next." She pointed at Sakura, who looked miffed at the nickname.
"My name is Haruno Sakura, I like…" She looked at Sasuke and shyly giggled. "I hate Ino-pig and Naruto-baka!" she shrieked.
"Not too fond of you, bitch." Naruto replied, smirking at her sputtering response.
"U-uh… My hobbies are…" She looked at Sasuke again and blushed furiously. "And my dream is…" She looked again and gave a fangirlish squeal.
Looking to Anko for silent premission, James received a nod and walked over to Sakura and stared her down, flooding the area with his killing intent, scaring the girl out of her mind. "Be serious, little bitch, or you gon' die the first day shit goes down." He whispered menacingly, stepping back.
Sakura was shaking and pale as can be. Ignoring her obvious distress, Sasuke continued. "I am Uchiha Sasuke. I like tomatoes, I dislike a lot of things, my hobby is training, and my dream is to understand why something happened…" He whispered the last part, but loud enough for everyone to hear. While he kept up the charade of an avenger hellbent on killing Itachi for what he did, inside, he merely wanted to understand why he did such a thing. If he let him live, couldn't he take him with him? And if he couldn't, couldn't he have killed him as well, so he could be with his family in death?
Naruto laid a hand on Sasuke's shoulder and gave an understanding look before taking his hand away to finish the introduction. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like ramen and training, I dislike the three minutes it takes for the ramen to be ready, my hobbies include pranking mean people and now training, and my dream is for everyone to recognize me as myself, not what I am seen as." He finished, eliciting confused looks from his teammates when he didn't spout off some nonsense about being Hokage.
Anko nodded at his introduction. "Okay, I want you all to meet me here tomorrow at 7 o'clock sharp!" With that order she disappeared in a shunshin.
"Let's go, Naruto." Alex ordered. Naruto nodded and the trio of Blacklight bearers all made their way to the Hokage Tower, the mentioned blonde just barely able to keep up with the two veteran carriers, even if he was using biomass in his legs.
(In Hokage Tower)
Much like his first meeting with the Blacklight users, Hiruzen was busy reading a little orange book with a blush on his face and giggling perversely now and then. He jumped and put the book away with speed only a seasoned veteran of hiding porn from his wife could accomplish. He righted himself and folded his hands on his desk to create the image that he was patiently awaiting them.
"Busy reading ya' little porn, Sarutobi?" Heller asked, smirking at the Hokage's pale face from being found out.
Coughing into his hand to try and make the situation less awkward, Hiruzen started a new conversation. "So Naruto-kun, since you know about you bearing the Kyuubi, have you managed to contact him about this situation?" He asked the blonde.
"Her." Naruto corrected.
"Excuse me?" The Hokage asked, confused.
"The Kyuubi is a woman." Naruto explained, drawing a shocked stare from the Hokage. "And yes, she knows about this situation with the Blacklight and has even offered to train me in my mind while I sleep and the Blacklight seems to have created a second being inside me much like her, as if it was another thing sealed inside me. It's really weird…" He finished.
"…Well, this is interesting…" Hiruzen muttered. "Well, since the situation seems under control, for now, it's only a matter of time before the Council hears about this and will either try to execute you again or throw you into the CRA with civilian women. I suggest you try as much as you can to keep this Blacklight under wraps, Naruto-kun. You may tell anyone you wish in secret, but beware; the walls have ears." He warned ominously.
"Okay… But why are you so accepting that James and Alex volunteered to be my sensei's?" He asked.
"We didn't volunteer; we are going to be your sensei's, with or without your Hokage's consent." Heller interjected, glaring at Sarutobi to argue back.
Know that these gentlemen combined could surely defeat him, and their years of experience dwarfing his own, Hiruzen did not argue with them. He merely nodded to Naruto. "Now that it has been taken care of, let's go, little shit. We got training to do." James ordered and grabbed Naruto and jumped out the other window, breaking that as well.
Seeing that Alex was already gone, Hiruzen merely shook his head. "Why doesn't anyone use the door anymore?" He muttered.
(Training Ground 13)
James Heller had landed all the way in Training Field 13 from jumping out the Hokage Tower, the feat mind-boggling in Naruto's mind. He dropped the blonde unceremoniously on his ass. "Okay kid, first, we're gon' have a spar to see how much control you have over the Blacklight. I need you to come at me with everything you got with your enhanced strength." He ordered, morphing his arms into a pair of huge shields that seemed to be made of organic rock slabs with cracks of a blood red glow, using his Shield mutation, only at the first phase, as the second would hurt Naruto with its multitude of spikes and his reflex of shield bashing an attacker.
Naruto was in awe at the display but nodded and pumped biomass to his arms and chakra to his legs and lunged at James, rearing his right fist back, and slammed it as hard as he could at the Shield. He started beating down on the shield while in the back of his mind, that weird arm his Blacklight familiar formed to wake him up formed in his head. Subconsciously, he willed the arms to form, his own arms shifting with biomass as he started to form his first mutation.
Soon his attacks became heavier, pushing James back more and more. His shields prevented him from seeing what was happening, but he could certainly feel the results; he winced now and then at the attacks. He was completely unprepared when Naruto hoisted him into the air and threw him at the trees with a roar. With a grunt and a shift of his arms into huge fists covered in sharp rocks that took him his entire lower arms with the series of tendrils rounding his shoulders, more than the other forms because of the extra weight, and threw his weight into his right Hammerfist, landing safely while uprooting the surrounding trees. "Kid, what the fuck?!" He yelled, then became silent at when he saw.
Naruto's arms were grey and thick, stout extensions off his elbows and holes in his forearms as if separating the new 'bone' of his limb. He saw this when he was on his vendetta against Mercer, the Muscle Mass mutation. "Well, well, well. Looks like you got yo' first power. Great job, kid." He complimented, standing up straight as he reverted his arms.
"Indeed, that was my simplest power, but a valuable asset in my own journeys." Alex commented as he strolled over to Naruto, his own arms shifting into exact copies of Naruto's. "They augment your strength even more than just pumping biomass behind your punches, with a single punch, you can impale your enemy on your arm and could possibly tear out a wall and lift a boulder." He explained.
Naruto stared in awe at his own arms, marveling at the feeling they gave him; brute strength and sheer power. "This is awesome!" He whooped.
Naruto's life just got a whole lot more awesome.
End Ch. 2
Fuck, this was long! So yeah, explained some things that were left unanswered (thank you, naruhina fan) and Naruto's got his first mutation! And don't worry, I've thought through how he'll get the others, although some will be kinda weird, it would be the only way I could make it work for the Naruto-verse, instead of him just grinding in his dreams to get them. So tell me what you think.
Ja ne!
