Thanks for the reviews, it was really nice of you. They have kept me going with the story.
Here is a title for this chapter:
Dr. Nine Tails is here. And he got a gift for you.
-3:36 pm, ?-
"Is there anything you can't do about this...gift thingie, Kyuubi?" Asked Naruto, facing towards the giant in front of him.
He had been wondering in his mind for quite some time why hadn't the beast inside him done anything since he got infected with that chemical fluid.
"After those damn wave you human create and now these. Still trying here, shut up! Don't underestimate those things." Said the nine tailed fox. "They are the children of Life, it's a bitch to mess with them and come out unscathed."
"..." Without saying anything, an already burned cigarette appeared right onto his mouth, the smell of fresh nicotine always calmed him down.
It sure was convinient to do something in his mind, trying to figure out what those gifted creatures which he had heard from Kyuubi just a minute ago were about really needed some smoke.
"Give me another one of your...fairy tails, will you?" He asked casually, inhaling a bit of smoke. "I'm still in the dark about this."
"Grrr..." Growled Kyuubi. "Believe what you want, human. It's the truth."
"About flying pixies giving strangers their powers? Why haven't I heard of that before?...You got a lot of things to say, foxie."
"It's Zadiac asshole!...You sure do piss me off a lot, boy. Ungrateful bastard..."
"Geez...Grow up, drink a beer or something." Scratching his head, Naruto offered an advice. "My mind is always the land of wasted, you know. Here, catch!"
"Shut your pie hole! This shouldn't need to be told again but..." The fox crushed the barrel thrown by him and gulped down anything inside along with it. "Just to prove how stupid you are, listen!"
"Alright..."
"The gifts are simply known as the forsaken frailties of this world, each one hold a unique power and will make an offering to the ones who find them and care for them. Normally they live in their rightful home, inside the spirit world as Zadiac and never make contact with human until you have to go and mess that up."
"What?"
"I don't know what the cause is, but I'm certain that you human have a hand in this. Thousands of years I have not heard of this incident and you managed to blow it up within 3 years living in the middle of nowhere. You have pooped your pants this time now! What a special talent you have there, my boy."
This would be completely bullshit if he hadn't had any encountered with those kinds of freaks before...he just mistook them for the overused term: Bloodline. Those were the battles that involved some careful planning in Ninjutsu.
But now, the binaural waves had ruined everything, he didn't know if he could even stand a chance against one of them at this time.
"It has happened before? When?"
"When? Do I look like a professor to know when? Drink a beer you stupid fuck!...When shit is not fucked up by you, that's for sure. The Zadiac coexisted with nature before-"
That answer was enough for him to know. He hated learning history to the core.
"So...The man who got tentacles for arms and the woman who sprayed acids everywhere are some of those...human?
"...I don't know if you're a daredevil or just looking for the comfort of Shinigami. You always got into fights with those freaks without a second thought or my presence? If YOU DIE, I FUCKING DIE too! Remember only that shit!"
He had lost contact with Kyuubi for so long, his mind didn't have time to chit chat with all the crazy stuffs that always seemed to find their ways onto him.
"Anyway moving on...The woman you saw earlier probably has a gift with her. As far as I know, it could be the type that demands sacrificing from the user."
"What makes you think of that?"
"Her smell, you reek of it. Those Iwa must have used something from her body to put it into the fluid you got contacted with."
"Indeed..." Said Naruto, feeling disgusted at the smell of semen and love juice on his body back in the prison camp. Let's just say that he didn't really get into it.
"Any man will bow down to that gift, that's its specialty...Had I not been in your mind, you would have lost it in that place. You human are too weak-minded."
"Ohhhh..." He sighed, disappointed. "Her voice fit your fancy then?"
"Grrrr...No." Growling furiously, Kurama spitted. Naruto just gave a smug smile as he read the anger in those eyes, the anger that had adored the voice of a lovely human being.
But...Obviously Kyuubi had no interest in human body, it had saved him from losing his control...
...Or just being a complete dickhole for cockblocking him.
"Thank you, I own you one." He said, feeling genious grateful towards the fox. If it hadn't messed with him, Yamako would have been far from being alive.
"Hmmm." No question, no doubt. The Kyuubi knew what Naruto meant, the beast hated him so much that it didn't even bother to deny that hidden remark.
Seducing both the shinobi and the beast. What had he gotten himself into?
"Alright, back to the topic. What exactly is this demanding type?"
"...Hell, can't even figure out the rest? Use that gift and pay the price for its service, simple as that. It might be blood, food or something for pixies...Zadiac that I certainly don't have to know. They're just a bunch of spoiled brats, I can't stand kids...And I'm talking about you, you swine little-"
"Okay, so...I guess the requirement for that service is...semen?"
"Very funny, maybe it could be a slice of pizza." Said Kurama, throwing its own joke. "As I have said, I don't care."
"...I guess being around for so long got you some useful info after all." He spitted out the cigarette, stepping on it. "Anything more you can tell me?"
"Hmm, since you have managed to kill some of them without my help...Then sure, just continue to ignore me. Considering yourself lucky that they haven't cooked you yet, retard! We need a plan now!"
"You can start by giving me a suggestion, Kyuubi. If you can't wake me up, it's useless."
"Don't smart ass with me now, boy! If you die-"
"I know, I know. You'll die too."
...
"Haizzz...The healing is done. Now get out of my furry face!"
-3:36 pm, near the East gate-
"...Let you two be my prisoners?" Yamako said after Konomi had explained their situation to her, her tone didn't appear to be civil. "What are you implying? You expect me to do just that?"
"...But, what else should we do?" The glassesed girl was too scared by this time, the Iwa might have started searching for them during the talk. She really didn't want to face her fear, her friends and her commander right now.
Hashiba, he just wanted to get the hell out of this place...His knees had gone cold from bowing down to Ichi, giving up his pride in the process.
Only the enemy could save his life. Nothing wanted a runaway, the coward on a battlefield. At least he could live inside cells and see the days went by.
Path of a shinobi...He had given up on that since the day he joined this camp.
"Stand up!" Yamako said directly to the man bowing before her. "If you two want to have a place to stay, tell me where your army is keeping him!"
Obeying, he silently heaved out a blind fog...It must have been really cold. The sneeze probably got terminated in his system thanks to the medicine.
"Do you know?"
"...I don't know..." Konomi said, she really hoped the black haired woman before her came to the right mind before it was too late.
"Then search for him!" Rifle pointing at them, Ichi gave her order. "We are not going anywhere outside this place until I got his whereabouts!"
Absolutely insane idea...to the two of the Iwa nins at least. If they were discovered, their deaths would become the first examples of fugitives in this completely beautiful playground.
Yamako Ichi knew that and she was going to use that idea to lure them in. They should have realized it by now.
"Did you really think that I knew the way back?" She spoke with a disdainful look. "You people blinded me and leaded me here for nearly two days."
"What?" They didn't expect such a great distance. With shock written in both their expressions, Konomi asked. "Two days...Wher-where are you from?"
"That doesn't concern you. The matter is Iwa nins was the one to attack first. All the things Boss had done to you is simply the price you have to pay, Iwa scums! Ugggrr!" Pausing for a cough, she continued. "We'll discuss this inside...Go!"
-3:40 pm, unknown location-
"Ugggg!"
Thanks to Kyuubi's sweet wake up call, Naruto woke up with a terrible headache. Before he could fully open his eyes, the pain started to go through him one again. It was like being controlled, he was being played by some kind of strange device that strapped on his head.
The agony of a shinobi, the highest frequency of BW, the madness of Shinobi world that technology could allow.
"Amazing..." An old and crunchy voice of a man called out. "It seems like nothing can faze you."
He turned his head up to see a huge middle-age man with black beard sitting on an animal skincraft chair, looking at him...
At least they were nice enough to keep the shirt on, he didn't know what would have happened if they had seen the seal.
With his senses returned, he realised that he was being tied...no, chained to a strange beeping device with an odd looking disc-shaped object strapped on his head, connected with several lines that he feared they might electrify him if giving them a light touch.
And he was being monotored, there were at least two cameras above him.
"Relax, I'm sorry about earlier." The man said, gazing directly into Naruto's eyes. "We don't have any intention to harm you or any of your troops."
With a beep sound, Naruto could no longer feel any tension or pain existing inside his head, only some kind of soothing noise.
"However..." The man quickly returned his gaze at his capture. "We ask for your full cooperation in this conversation, do that and no harm will be done."
"..."
"This note." He pulled out the notebook which Tsuki had written all the info for the mission. "You must be one of the rats of the Lords. How interesting..."
"..."
"So...Let's just say that I'm fairly impressed by the fact that you have managed to get into my place and slaughter such a large number of my men. Shinobi, what's your name?"
"..."
With a straight face, he lightly pressed a button sitting right beside him.
1...2...and 3 beeps were heard inside the room along with Naruto's scream, resonating through every crack of the walls...and his own skull. It was like hearing the worst musical notes of the world and letting it destroy every braincell in his head.
Free binaural wave to cook his brain with chakra serving as the gas? Then he was gonna be roasted in no time, he was the fattest pig on the frying pan right now, the almighty Kyuubi was never wrong. This machine could be the high demanding Fuck-You-Jinchuuriki torture device of the future.
"Ugg...ggg..."
"That's enough for ya? This is not an interrogation in any shape of form, I assure you. It's just a simple chat between me and you."
"Huh...Huh..." His lungs were out of control and his heartbeat had stopped for a second, he couldn't tell with the mess running in his brain right now.
'Might as well play along...I might get some leads from this man.' He cringed his teeth at the pain as he thought about his plan.
"Well, your name...intruder?"
"Yabato...Hitatsui." Inhaling bitter air into his breath, he said with difficults.
The man didn't seem to be amused by him, his method of interrogating must have been going around for some time.
"Where are you from?"
"...Kurokyo."
"Kurokyo?...Hmm..." The name made him rubbing his chin in confusion. "That village...Last time I heard, they haven't dispatched any troop lately. Why did they send you here?"
And again, no doubting for a moment. It could be that they were very confident about their ear-raping technology and the enemy would spit out the truth no matter the cost but still...Naruto wondered if completely bullshit could apply to those guys. He had lost nearly all hope for this place.
It was a good thing that he still kept his profile low and tried to evade all kinds of trouble. Thanks to Orochimaru, all his personal info had been erased from any record. Konoha didn't hold much reputation these days to update the bingo books with all the fire going on.
Except Kurokyo and some of his most troublesome spying rats from the Lords, always luring around and capturing civilians to increase the number of human shields on the battlefield. He could not count how many times he had to move his base because of them. Kurokyo, it certainly lived up to its name, bad luck and darkness...And yet, their annoying nature could prove to be useful in situations like this.
"Wait..." The man suddenly spoke before he could reply to the question. "Kurokyo had been assigned to Hirakase, one of the Lords. They usually go in groups to inspect and patrol the area surrounding their lands. Perhap the squad we attacked was one of them."
"Hmmm..." He stared ahead, looking at an unknown distance. "...This is bad."
Realising that he was not supposed to be talking to himself. With a light-hearted smile, the man turned his eyes back to Naruto, who was trying to figure out how to get this thing off him.
"The name is Takano Kozuma." Kozuma said. "You do know about the situation now, right?"
"..."
"Silence seems to be your answer to everything. Well, let me go straight to the main point." The black bearded commander cleared his throat after saying. "Your skill must have surpassed above Jonin rank since you managed to avoid even a scratch in the skirmish earlier."
If Kyuubi had heard that line, it would not be very happy. But the head of his was beyond fucked up right now to care.
"So which rank are you, shinobi?"
"..."
"Grr..."
Kozuma looked rather pissed at the one sided conversation he was having, his temper was really short. One thing Naruto got to take note of.
"Jonin."
"Does your army work in a forest or something? Your real rank, now!"
"Jonin. This won't turn into an interrogation, will it?" Naruto's speech was slowly firing this man's fuel.
"Are there any other ones out there besides you?"
"..."
"...How the hell did you manage to kill that monster?" Kozuma gave him another question, not bothered by the silence he was receiving. "You knew it, the yellow thing."
"..."
"Where did those whiskermarks come from?"
"..."
"...What's your gift, monkey?"
That brought Naruto's attention immediately. "Gift?" It looked like this man knew something he could find useful.
"Yes! The Zadiac, didn't she tell you her name? Or was that a boy looking for you?" The man responded almost too quickly, his voice contained signs of excitement.
"...Never heard of it."
As fast as the mood came, it got completely blown away by that single line.
"Don't worry." Kozuma said with a hopeful look on his face. "There is no sound recording devices here. I want this to be a secret between just two of us."
"I have no clues what you're talking about. What's a gift?"
Suddenly, the pain returned to him as soon as he let those words out. Another screaming and humiliating for the amusement.
"Answer, not questioning! Haven't you even realised that?"
This now had turned into a full-on interrogation, Naruto's fate was turning uglier by each second passed.
"..." Speechless, even if he could mutter up words to speak with the state his brain had gone through.
"SHUT UP FUCK! AGGHH!" It seemed like Kyuubi also got a taste of that. "Ohhhohhohohhh...That pitch...Fuck you! It was so loud!"
Kozuma's anger, he could understand that. After all, he had slaughtered a large number of his assault troop.
It was his fault.
"This isn't good for both of us, you know. Don't tell me you don't have one!" Kozuma growled, his patience had gone thin looking at Naruto. There was something about him that gave this man an uneasy feeling. "Speak, fool!"
'Uck...This guy is a real charmer, he has only ears for those pix-.' Naruto thought, trying to come up with a plan.
"Zadiac, not pixies you brain dead idiot."
'...All of my appologies.'
It was about time the beast decided to show up instead of silently collecting protein inside him...And probably some dust from the ear-blasting technological wave earlier.
'You gotta help me out on this one...'
"Hmm...Why ask me for help now when you can finally put that head of yours into appropriate use, boy?" Taunted Kyuubi, clear amused by Naruto's struggling. "It feels really nice when you beg, it's really good..."
"Spit it out! Do not test my patience!" The beard of a crow flied with rage in rhymes with the increasing of Kozuma's vocal volume.
Looked like he had to wipe his shit before it got stinky. Naruto had just managed to make up a fooling story before the button became an abused victim.
"...Gift...If it's what you call her...ggrrhuuhhh." Said Naruto, his teeth cringed at the remaining pain from the inside when he moved his jaw. "I caught her sniffing my rations during one of our raids. Ever since then, I have been using her as a slave to bypass our enemies and manipulate pheasants with ease..."
"What's her special power?" His tone, like clear water suddenly falling into a dry desert, finding its peaceful presence immediately.
"Healing."
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Kyuubi got seriously pissed after realising what Naruto was talking about. "You-"
"Hmm...slave, huh?..." Kozuma had finally calmed down, his eyes filled with interests, only a little hatred remained. "...Is she demanding something from you?"
"She's a little girl." Having a little fun messing with Kurama, Naruto decided to go with the flow. "Sweets in her hands, I got her aid."
" &$*0&#^% (&$!"
"That easy, huh?...You didn't seem to be lying. You are a lucky one, young shinobi." Addressing him formally, Kozuma spoke. "Try not to abuse her too much, they are the gifts after all...You have to look after her. "
Naruto found that sentence really funny for some reason, it was like seeing a child's innocence towards his present. Really sweet and hilarious at the same time.
"Well, Yabato. You, me and the others in this place are the same..." He paused in mid-sentence, stroking his precious beard. "...We found the Zadiac fascinating and we held their powers in our hands. Now! Imagine what would it be if we gathered them altogether, forming a group of mysterious powers outside of chakra's presence. We can have everything...even the world. Do you hear me?"
It was hard for Naruto to believe that he was hearing those from a man with a straight face.
'...If what he said was true, hasn't the Iwa gotten the access to those pixies already?...Why not doing it in their rightful place.' Thought Naruto, not really understanding or trusting the concept completely. 'Is this guy acting on his own?...Kyuubi, is there anything more about those Zadiac that you didn't tell me?'
"Eat shit and die, you numb nuts!" Kurama had lost its tough and was having a hard time finding it back.
'Really sorry about that, I'm not good with fairy tail. Call me back if you feel lonely.' Even though the joke had damaged the pride of the almighty Nine Tails, Naruto didn't put up with the silence anymore. He needed the information.
"You are a dangerous man, the silence really fits your cold nature, Yabato. I'd like to have you in my force."
And now Kozuma was offering him a place in his own fortress, the playground that Naruto prefered to call.
Did Kozuma have the same idea as him, leaving everything behind to go and plant his own ground? When and why did the Zadiac incident happen? The advanced technology of Iwa military and all the things that related to the Zadiac, the beings that should have been existing in the spirit world. And lastly, the whereabouts of Yamako Ichi and the Iwa couple.
So many stuffs that he wanted all to be answered...
"So, where do you stay? It is either the jail for you or just this room with that little machine on your head. I hope the answer is not delayed for long." With a smug smile, he started to relax on the skincraft couch, right hand ready on those buttons.
"Before that, can you tell me something?"
"...Go on." Kozuma seemed interested at what Naruto was about to say.
"Do you...happen to know why the Zadiac appear?"
It was the first thing that had been bugging his mind for quite some time.
"Hmm, good question." He said, hands scratching his chin. "For now, we still haven't gathered anything useful. The Zadiac themselves are also clueless, they said that they only appear in a certain kind of circumstances. What is yours, Yabato?"
"Circumstances?"
"...I forgot about your case. You scared the poor soul into giving you her power, that must be it."
"..."
"The gifts only offer their powers to someone they like, someone who care for them. They're little children, you should treasure them." After finished that sentence, Kozuma stood up and stared at him with an angry look. "It's people like you that I can't stand! I have met many scums just like you! Taking advantage of their innocences and forcing them to fulfill the dirty works...It...it's..."
"The fuck is that scumbag talking about?" Kyuubi found itself chuckling after hearing that. "Am I watching a roleplay or something, boy?"
'At least we know that there might have been an outbreak of stray fairies that just waiting to be caught. Glad to hear your voice, any news?' Naruto switched to the conversation in his mind while still keeping an ear for Kozuma's rambling.
"Nothing much except for the Zadiac that are flying around the couch. Three of them."
'You can see them?'
"Bitch! I'm a fucking master at this, alright? Those spirits are among my specialities."
'Whatever, is it a demanding type?'
"They're rare ones. I believe all are in the A-type, female. The demanding part is not really sure. First time seeing those little shit." Kurama paused for a moment to think and continued. "Also Zadiac's favorite life consuming object is metal and crystal, those shiny little stones. A-type favored the hard one above everything else."
The question behind the attack near the diamond mine was clear to him now. The Iwa was looking for food to raise the Zadiac when they encountered his troops.
And he had fucked up. Naruto was clearly the worst at spilling bullshit.
'Seemed like I screwed up pretty hard on that story. Are rations and candy cool with them?'
"Grr..." Hearing that jogged up its damaged image, Kyuubi growled. "You stupid fuck, the keyword being 'favorite'. I don't give a rat ass about what they eat, I just happened to see most of them sucking on those cookies."
'Can you project their images to my eyes?' Said Naruto, he wanted to know if the Zadiac was really pretty like what Kozuma was saying.
"Who is whose demanding slave now, boy? See for yourself." With ease, the kitsune did as what he said.
A tiny purple humanoid shape, glowing in delight and hovering in the air. It was a looker, no wonder why it had gotten a grown ass man's approval. The others were a little bigger, sparkling in red and blue.
'Not pixies...But definitely appealing. Do you know why it got a human anatomy?' Asked Naruto, he was quite fascinated at the sight of a new creature.
"Ask the radio lady, I don't know." Making an unnecessary joke, Kurama said. "I have seen lions and crocodiles feeding them, not a surprising fact that they got into the eyes of those wild animals."
'...I see, anything else?'
"Ugggrrrr...rrrruu.." The fox burped loudly before answering. "No, just feel a little lonely drinking alone..." Its tone clearly showed that it was enjoying the show with the help of some alcohol, Kyuubi couldn't stay mad at Naruto for long.
If it didn't mind, he would like to go back to hear the gentleman's thrilling story. This interrogator sure had fun reading outloud his mind for him. A little cheesy music could even fit with the scene right now.
Terrible story and he had to listen, just like this fanfic! At least he got out of the frying pan for some time.
-3:49 pm, inside the deployment center-
Many Iwa troops had been on duty after the shoot out. From clearing the bodies to cleaning the places, nobody could bother to bat an eye at the three specific patrols who were working hard on their post, multiple posts to be precise.
"Why are you guys walking like that?" Ichi asked, clearly annoyed at the other two. "Act natural!"
"Yes-yes!" Konomi was stared by her voice so many times that she had gotten used to replying with those two words.
"..." The calm and collected Jonin had begun to get a little mad but he got no way to argue with her, literally.
Thanks to the embarrassing knowledge of both Iwa nins. They knew the first place to begin the search, the monitor room.
The only catch was, they got the risk of running into one of the commanders, the woman who could turn the heart of all men into stones, the poison specialist with the code name Mezu, the sex symbol. Her true name was a mystery to everyone.
She was both the terror and the angel in man talk, crushing everything on her way to her lust and her...deaths. Although, she was really sweet to the kunoichi here and was considered their idol.
Naruto was still alive somewhere, Yamako Ichi knew it in her heart. Nothing could kill him, many dangerous foes had tried and lost their lives to him. He was the commander of The Division, an army that strike fear into the hearts of countless people.
-4:00 pm, unknown location-
Poor girl...She had mistaken him for a better man, that was for sure.
The fantasy story had been read and now he was in the place of choosing his fate. From what Naruto could gather, it could be sum up that Kozuma was building his own army as a place for the Zadiac to live and breed while going for the noble goal, take over the world and...it was hard to believe that this guy might have the same purpose like him, finding the true peace.
The name was TNI...Short words for The New Iwa. He had a hard time believing that shit and the finding peace crap.
It could be a lie to draw men but...was that what Naruto himself promised to find when he first met Tsuki? In his case, that was a lie. If he wanted peace, he'd have to wage wars on the opposite sides. As long as there were conflicts, there would be wars. And war was the last thing that crossed his mind, his last resort.
He just wanted a place for people like him, making sure they could enjoy the lives they deserved to have.
Ninja would have a reason to fight. People would have the right to bring up their own fortune. It would be a free nation for all.
But peace?...His friends, one by one had to bury their own futures for an agreement of a paper, the peace that always ended up being tore apart by the Hokage. He got wasted on blood just to satisfy their dirty deeds.
There were many great friends who would gladly risk their lives for him...For a loud mouthed brat who always wanted to be the best.
Kozuma, a middle age man with the same mind set like him. Would he have became a Hokage of a playground if he hadn't given up? The thought of it just saddened him.
Good dude at heart...far too ignorant to make a good role of the leader but he had done a much better job than him. Advanced technology, making use of any supporting source and...that was as far as he could go to describe that guy. Kozuma would make a good ally and he didn't deserve to die.
Kind of like Obito Uchiha, he held such potential...Shame he had to end his life before the Fourth Shinobi World War could happen. And well...It still happened and up to this day, the Nineth one was still going strong.
"Well?"
"If I chose the ceil, I hope I didn't get the special treatment from this...device." Naruto said, a scary rattle sound hidden in his voice was building up. "May I get a dose of tranquilizer?"
All of Kozuma's muscles tensed up at the sound Naruto made before him. Despite being a larger man and having the power of BW, he found his hands leaving the buttons and reaching for the magnum restedg on his holster.
"Don't try anything funny now." Gun pointing at Naruto, he said. "I can take your life right now if I want, shinobi. Know your place..."
"My apologies, I have given the wrong words." As fancy as his voice could go, it was tickling down Kozuma's neck. "Mercy is what I seek for now my mind is slowly losing the battle."
"...You can keep that tone shut, shinobi." He had had enough. With the magnum still on its target, he reached inside his coat and pulled out a dart. "Your medic works really well, I must say."
If it was a trick pulled out to fool him then they had succeeded in tricking him into underestimating them. He could feel his brain cells being drained slowly through the chat, maybe it had something with the binaural wave after all.
With a shot to his forehead, Naruto was out like a light.
-4:00 pm, inside the first site-
"Acc-chhooo! Umm..mm..." Konomi's nose had been running for quite a while, she began to let out those cute sneezes that attracted a little attention from the shinobi.
"She is quite a looker, eh?" A patrol said to his partner. "I'll be happy to swim on top of her body."
"Yeah, it sucks that we only got to see half of her face. But aren't Mezu-sama enough for you, man?..." He responded, shaking in excitement at the thought of her.
His parner's speech was like a cotton ball flying in front of him, the Genin's eyes became lifeless and then turned away.
Their girlfriends must have been feeling really left out since the arrival of Mezu, the relationship ruiner.
"Here." The glassesed girl turned her eyes to Yamako Ichi, who handed her a small bottle. "It's a cold med, good for rainy and snowy mood." The way she explained it was like for a commercial shot. "The same one for that guy over there."
"...Thank you."
"The monitor room is right here, right?" Yamako asked. Receiving a slight nod from Hashina's hood. "Good. Prepare yourself."
Like a warning sign suddenly appeared in their way, all three reached for their firearms and headed for the destination.
-4:02 pm, outside the monitor room-
Dripping noise, wetting sound and moaning could be heard if the listeners were closely paying attention . And in this case, they were Yamako and co. Needless to say, the sounds of love had been expected.
The security was almost none. There had been a single sight of anyone entering or exitting from the hall connecting to this room.
"Huh?" Yamako felt a light tap on her shoulder, it was Hashiba. "What is it?"
Eyes closed, the Jonin began to shake his head while pointing another finger at the entrance and then at himself.
"...M-maybe we should...wait a little more." Suspending the good deed she just received, Konomi could not find the courage to continue on.
"No...You are the only one I can count on right now." Saying those words with little to no emotion, Yamako scared the poor girl. "She is your commander, it'll be easier if you go inside and take a look."
"But-but...I."
"There is no time." She said, putting her hand onto her shoulder. "I'll go with you. If you want to leave this place, getting contact with him is the best possible way I can think of."
Those words were not really reassuring her. Mezu was her respectful commander, her greatest fear. The thought of going against her weekened Konomi, it was hopeless. "No. I just can't!"
"For Kami's sake..." Ichi was losing her patience, fast. "They are going to search for us sooner or later. Do you want me to save them the trouble by going in there alone...facing that Medusa of yours?"
"...But what if she has already known?"
"...Just go. I'll take the lead if things got out of hand."
-4:02 pm, inside the monitor room-
Yamako step out just in time to dodge a naked male flying towards her, she almost wasted a bullet on the unconcious man. Blood, semen and love juice found their ways to manipulate the air around her, making her grip her face in disgust.
At least the scene wasn't unbearable to her. Konomi looked like she was gonna faint, her face had gone red from seeing those stuffs.
Ichi noticed the lone woman who was busily pleasuring herself with another man's genital. Just when she was about to talk to Konomi, her eyes found their views going towards the screen that woman was currently observing. It shown the spiked blond man being tied to a machine with strange electrical cords strapped into it.
'Boss!' Her mind screamed, a rush to her muscles turned her target back at the nude model before her. If she went somewhere nearer, she could have a chance to see his place.
Keeping the gun to her side, Yamako started to tip toe towards the woman in front of her.
"..Uhhhh..." Letting out a sexual sound, she called out without looking at them. "Who is there?...Can you see I'm busy?"
The tip toeing was useless. Plan B was down the toilet hole, why didn't she go with plan A first was also going through the same hole. She was supposed to retreat after Konomi had gone inside. When had she lost her mind for him? She had just only talked with him once.
"... Matdetsu, Unit 15 reports."
"You seemed to have caught a little cold, sweetie." Smiling coyly, she asked. "What's going on?"
It looked like words about them hadn't gone out, she heaved out a sigh when she heard her commander's cheerful voice...Well, not really cheerful since she was having a great time breathing hard.
Then suddenly, it came to a stop. That moment alone nearly scared her to death.
"Well...well? Who's with you, my dear?"
Suddenly...With an incredible strength and speed, a hand wrapped around Ichi's leg and threw her across the room. Konomi could only watch in horror as her commander appeared right besides her.
"Ugg!" Yamako grunted as she left a large bump on the iron wall. This was the first time she had been hit with such force.
By the time Ichi came to her sense, she only had milliseconds to lift up the rifle and blocked a body collapsing against her. Rolling out of Mezu's aim to avoid another one, she took marks high at her head once again and shot, emptying all the rounds inside. Each bullet was like passing through the ghostly woman as she lunged forward and caught her neck.
"You...Your smell..." Mezu said, her tone was like a snake tongue toying with its prey. "You are the girl he was carrying..."
Ichi swung the handle upwards, escaping her tight wrath before her neck got crushed under the pressure. Taking the time to aim at the head, she fired another shot at her.
BANG!
It was a point blank shot and yet...the exotic woman avoided her death with ease. Gripping the rifle with one hand, she once again threw her along with it onto the nearest wall. Having expected the outcome of this move, Yamako let her feet absorb all the blow and raised her firearm almost instantly after she hit the ground.
"Hmm, rifle..." Mezu flashed her hair while teasing. "Be careful, you may burn yourself with that stuff."
The Shinobi rifle was a piece of shit of a gun. It only got 7 bullets per reload and the pumping time was also a pain in the ass. The only good things about it was its easy build to control for beginners and despite having the lowest gun power, it could easily outperform any close range weapon.
But in this case, it was still a pile of shit. Had Ichi gotten a normal pistol, even if she missed, that shot would have blasted one part of her head off.
" .mi. You're such a bad...bad girl." Mezu gave Konomi a strange feeling, forcing her to slowly back away. "You'll pay for that!"
Her sweetness had gone. Instead, rage and insanity had filled all over her expression and still, her beautiful look remained the same. "Taste the man! I hope it isn't a wrong time for a little education!" The woman darted an eye to where she was and threw a muscular man towards her, delighted at the terrified look on Konomi's face.
And what a disapointing result she got...Under that body was just a pair of broken glasses.
Hashiba Yoshiki, if his image was a gem which had been damaged before then now, it had turned into a shining diamond that glowed brighter than anything else. But what made him from being a puss to a hero all of the sudden?
The gunshot, his ego were the just the minor parts, he couldn't stand idly when the girl he adored were in danger.
The sensation of her chest rubbing against his felt...so heavenly. Shame he didn't have the choice to demonstrate his manly speech.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yamako had managed to ruin the love scene with three bullets print on the wall where Mezu was standing. The situation had turned into a full 3 on 1 fight...Or just 2 on 1, since Konomi's sight had been disabled.
"A man..." The voice that sent shivers down his lower body. "How come you haven't taken everything off, big boy?"
Even in a fight, that woman could never be serious for once.
BANG!
The gunshot snapped him out of his trance before he started to drop the girl in his arm to reach for his belt. Turning to Yamako to see her reloading the rifle, Hashiba quickly threw Konomi onto his shoulder and avoid the sudden hug from Mezu at the crucial moment.
"No!" She screamed at her lost. "Why did you run? Come back to me."
"..." Konomi was like losing her mind after seeing the act of her own mentor and that man's...thingie, it'd be a good time for her.
A crazy naked woman longing for your dick or a cute vulnerable girl that couldn't see what she was doing, the answer was too obvious for Hashiba. And besides, he had been having serious blue balls...after so many time going through Medusa-sama.
It was a chance for him to finally fall in love! Even though now wasn't a good time for him.
"Hold her up!" Yamako ordered, she seemed to be rather amazed at his speed. "Keep her still for a bit!"
Hashibe could only give her an impossible kind of look before Mezu magically appeared before him. Her arms wide opened and reached for the girl besides him.
"Ahhhh!" Grabbing the side of her long hair while taking a step away to avoid exposing his opens, Hashiba twisted her body around and pulled her head backward, grabbing her face and sent her towards the hard floor with his foot breaking her balance. He had to pass on his favorite neck breaking move on this one...That woman could crush his arms anytime if he wasn't careful.
BANG! Bang! Click!Cli!
One connecting shot that drew blood from the beautiful figure. If bleeding, anything could be killed...
"Damn it!" She cursed, the gun got jammed before she could shoot the head. "Piece of shit!"
With blood on her bare back, Mezu raised up and turned her eyes back to Hashiba who was keeping a defensive stance before her.
"You got guts, boy...Just like him." Instead of a vengeful look, her eyes filled with a new lust. "You'll make a fine mate with me."
His blue balls suddenly ran away at the sound of her voice, a new risen hardware was being installed inside him. He couldn't keep going with the burning sexual urge delaying his movement.
With an erection slowing down his legs, he had to block her oncoming attack with all his might.
She made a powerful kick right square at his chest, forcing him to step back severals meters.
Mezu knew what she was doing, she aimed for his genital right off the bat!
Slaping the hand that was used to grab Ichi earlier away, he swung his head to the side to dodge a threateningly incoming thrust from her other fist. With a round-horse kick going along with the momentum, he managed to squeeze her neck and push her down for Ichi to get another headshot. It had to be done quickly, sticking with her for too long and he would be deadmeat before knowing it.
Bang!
"Damn!" She missed her shot. "Grab her like you did before!"
Hashiba avoided the deadly strength of the sexy beast with Shinrahadori, a technique that allowed him to evade non-ranged physical attacks with greater ease. Kunoichi usually got a bunch of stats boosting meds so he didn't have to be merciful, especially to her. The New Iwa had corrupted him and many people for too long.
At least he got 2 beauties to count on, it would be a shame for him to fail this chance. As a superior, he had to help a Genin in her hard time...or himself. He only got Taijutsu as the main self-defending method.
Not qualified as an offical Jonin, but in a fight, he always had the first strike...That was enough for him to be the winner.
Technically, she got no gears, she was naked and more vulnerable to attack, the only catch was her seductively figure that messed up his mind. If he could find a way to turn himself off, it would be the deciding factor in this battle.
When your opponent didn't have any opened spoted, create them yourself. And in this case, he was trying to surpass his temptation by messing up with her anatomy. Good thing she was naked to begin with, otherwise it would be pretty hard to decide the right place.
"Grrrr!" Frustration had shown on her face, her powerful strength didn't seem to find its target against his speed. "Agrrr!"
Everytime she managed to get a hold on him, he always turned her back against him and sent her face to the floor. Earlier she could still get up to avoid the ground breaking punch but now, she just barely made it before his foot connected with her skull.
The woman had begun to realise the situation, she started backing away from his reach instead of attempting to counter. Keeping a far distance, she turned her attention back to the annoying gunner, she needed a weapon to deal with him...
...Only to realise that there was someone right behind her! She was too caught up with the traitor for too long. The remaining enemy had managed to sneak up on her.
BANG!
A perfect clear shot, blasting all of the brain inside and shoved her down onto the cold floor. With a loud thump, her body lied under her feet. Blood and eyeballs were the only things that visible besides her face.
"...Is this it?" Ichi asked herself, sighing with a smirk. "She isn't so tough like what you say, Konomi."
The poor girl had faint since when, she was just turning 12 this year, the scene was simply not appropriate for young mind...Hashiba was gonna be in serious depression if he knew her real age. For a young girl, she sure had a nice body.
But blue balls had came back and he was in his normal gloomy self once again. For a healthy young man, he sure had an incompetent manhood.
"You did good!" Yamako could not contain her excitement. "Let's try keeping this up for the next time!"
'Next time, huh...' Hashiba Yoshiki could only manage to create a smirk on his closed mouth. 'That feels...nice.'
It had been such a long time that he got recognized for his skill. Looking deeply into his fists, he couldn't help feeling her comment to be a little overwhelming. He wasn't that good.
"Huh? He's gone!" Yamako let out a scream, unaware of her overtone. "He has been moved! But where?"
They were lost in the heat of the battle. Naruto had disappeared from the device, only several cords and the chair remained.
She started to use all of her senses to find out a single blond hair in every monitor screen, leaving the Jonin behind to warm the girl.
After that fight, they still got no time to lay back and rest. The battle was far from over...The gunshot she created must have alarmed all the nearby guards.
A cracking noise at the entrance nearly gave the group a heart attack. Yamako and Hashiba both turned to the door, raising their own weapon and preparing to pull the trigger...
That was also the time when 2 small projectiles hit their necks and turned them into dry logs.
"Huh? Ichi!"
-4:18 pm, outside the monitor room-
"Yamako, wake up." It wasn't the best place to wake her up, he looked like a creep with all the bodies laying around. "It's morning."
"Uhhhh..rrrrr, humm...Boss?...BOSS?!" She wasn't really up until his whiskermarks came into her view.
"Kept you waiting, huh?" He said, looking behind him with caution. "There are sleeping guards all around here, keep your voice down for a bit."
"Y-y-yes sir..." Even though she just wanted to smite heads with him, it wasn't the right time. "Glad to see you back, Boss. I know you'll make it!"
Naruto had managed to escape from his captor. After a fruitless searching for the group, he made his way to the monitor room at the hope of getting their location. He sure didn't expect to hear gunshot and have to take down dozens of patrols heading towards the room though. Fortunately, his rampage earlier got some of the transmitter communications here to be under repaired at the time, he could finally get the group out of this place by backtracking through that passage while the Iwa nins were still busily cleaning the damage.
"That was reckless...Don't ever do this again." And lectures could wait until they got home safely...
...But it seemed like she wanted it now. "I'm sorry, boss...How did you manage to get out?!"
"Just a little luck...Right now it isn't the time. We gotta move."
-4:23 pm, inside the first site-
Mezu, all tied up and wrapped with a blanket, rested herself onto Naruto's shoulder. After nearly throwing a tantrum fit at the group, he had decided to take her along. Orochimaru was going to have a fun time figuring all about this gift thingie or maybe something interesting about immortal human when he got home.
Did he feel bad for doing the exactly same thing they did to his kunoichi?...No, she was the one who hit the alarm in the first place. And besides, it was for researching purpose only.
"How is it? Feel any pain inside now?" He asked, fixing the positions of her arms. "I hope the cake didn't get too sticky."
"...mmm..." Hashiba could only mutter up broken words. Naruto had released the mouth trap after hearing his heroic work, the man deserved to have a break, he had earned his trust.
Turned out, it wasn't fancy or dangerous like the original trap, it was a device that Tsuki had modified to prevent the movement of both the jaw and the tongue. War marked this trap as the eternal silence for POWs and slavery for its impossibility to open unless with surgery when the victim's mouth was closed...Many had cracked as many had died under the pressure. The Divison simply went the oppsite way in their operations.
Good thing Hashiba didn't know about that. He was having a wonderful time carrying his little angel on his back.
"It'll be quite a long ride back. Hold him tight and keep yourself warm."
'I was going to say that line!...Damn it!' Hashiba thought, sighing at Naruto's speech for Konomi.
"I understand, Naruto-sama." She had calmed down for a bit, taking side with honest and stable leader seemed like something she could live with. "Thank you, errr..."
"Haaaaa...shi-ba!" He jumped at the chance to introduce himself, nearly spooking her.
"Thanks, Hashiba-sama..." Her warm breath was enough for him but the Jonin couldn't not appreciate her sweet little talk.
"Okay! Awkward time is over!" They both jumped at his sudden tone. "This is a sneaking section. There is a small disguising contraption just ahead of here. I have cleared the way but stay on your toes. There might be another eye watching us from a far, stay alert and keep quiet! I'll be the one who decide the COAs, any question?"
"All is clear, sir!" Quiet just like he said, they responded altogether.
"Oh, forgot about this..." Naruto gave his head a good scratching before he spoke again. "Prepare to swim. There is gonna be a good minute passing through the river."
I suck ass at criticising my own story so please point it out if I fuck something up, thank you. The reason why Naruto got captured and got out with such an ease will be explained in next chapter...I hope.
