Welcome back to a new year. 2017. Wow, can't believe the year went by so damn fast. I hope you had a brillient time as much as I did on my production break. I also did something. I destroyed my subscription with . Don't ask me why. I just did. No more. I left that I gave you the impression that I was selling you out to try and make money. I'm sorry for that. I hope you can forgive me.
But alas. Welcome back to a brand new chapter of Crimson Lord Naruto.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
A heartbeat thats lasts for eternity. Lives consumed in soundless balls of fire. No one can tell when the world is displaced, and the Flames of the Crimson World sweep over all.
Chapter 22: Incognito?
Waking up in their other apartment, Naruto found the sight of their clothes splayed across the room of their bedroom. Looking over to find his wife sleeping soundly, Naruto smiled and gave her a kiss on the head making her moan as her eyes fluttered open and landed upon her husband. She smiled to him as well and pulled his head down and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"Nearly time?" said Wilhelmina as Naruto nodded.
"Nearly time. I'll present myself to them and convince them that I now share their goals to everything." said Naruto.
"I wish I could go with you. Who knows what could happen to you." said Wilhelmina as Naruto gave a chuckle.
"Relax. I'll be fine." said Naruto as Wilhelmina arched an eyebrow as if he was joking around.
"I promise. If I'm found, I'll call you in." said Naruto.
"You'd better. I don't like the idea of having a child who has no father." said Wilhelmina.
"I understand perfectly." said Naruto as they climbed out of bed and got dressed, but not before gettimg into a shower.
With their bodies now clean and their bodies clothed, they made their way out the room and made their way to their other apartment. Arriving there, they found both Minato and Kushina glowing ever so faintly. Naruto smiled to them as he opened up the pendant which had just Naruto in the photo. They too smiled back at him and returned to the photo. And once again, the photo was returned to having three people inside it.
Naruto smiled to the pendant before he closed it. Everyone was busy packing away the stuff from Christmas were getting ready to go to their homes to celebrate it with the others. Naruto mentioned to everyone that he was going now. Kaguya stopped her son and pulled off her coat that had tomoe at the ends of the sleeves and had a few on the back in a circle.
It instantly became accustomed to Naruto and he thanked his mother for it.
"Wear it with pride. You are carrying us all. Return home safely." she said and Naruto gave his mother a hug.
"I'll make you extremely proud of me. Kaa-san." said Naruto.
"Do your best my son." said Shinju as she shook hands with his son and then brought him into another hug.
"I'll make you proud tou-san." said Naruto.
Walking out the door with everyone following him, they walked to the bridge, the exact same place that was where he was first awakened. Stopping just shot of the bridge, Naruto flared up his powers with his Seal activating. Wilhelmina approached him and handed him a scarf. Naruto took it and put it on. It was a beautiful black scarf that she made herself. She was planning on giving it to him for a New Years present, but she decided to give it to him now.
"Good luck." said Wilhelmina as she kissed him on the lips.
"I will." said Naruto as he opened a portal and walked through it.
He found himself on a broken city. One which was on the verge of collapsing. He sensed the malice a hatred everywhere as he treaded carefully. As he took a step, he was ambushed immediately by some Denizens.
Summoning up Dullahan and swung it. He literally used the scythe to rot their souls to become nothing. Naruto smiled at this and went ahead and with the killing of everyone that tried to kill him, but just as his little Denizen killing record was about to be completed. Yuji showed up and every Denizen stopped attacking Naruto.
Slowly eyeing the man he once called friend. Naruto slammed the scythe into a Denizen that was in serious pain. Killing him instantly. Yuji simply shook his head as he looked to his friend at what he just did.
"You know. We could've healed him." said Yuji.
"I know. But then he'd just try and prove to me that I am the bad guy." said Naruto.
"I see. And why have you come here? Last I remember, you hated the fact that I am your enemy. And yet here you are. Why is that?" asked Yuji folding his arms.
"Because I chose this." said Naruto.
"You rebelled against everyone there. Even your wife to join me here. Do you have any idea what poition that puts you in?" asked Yuji as Naruto nodded his head.
"I know what I've done. And I have paid it. My wife hates me, my friends hate me. Even my kaa-san and tou-san are out for my blood. What more do you want me to say?" said Naruto watching Yuji throw his hands up in surrender.
"You have a point. So you also want to see Xanatul?" asked Yuji.
"I do." replied Naruto.
"Then welcome. We welcome you with open arms." said Yuji as the Denizens dispersed.
"Yuji-san, I don't like this. What if he betrays us?" asked the doctor coming in.
"That is why I want everyone to keep an eye on him. He slips up once. Kill him." said Yuji.
"Oh, what an excellent idea." said the doctor running off to continue his experiments.
Naruto moved around the entire of the city. It looked like nothing could even live here, much less be here. But that was for human standards, not Denizen or Crimson Lord standards. But as he walked along the destroyed city. He felt a slight pang in his chest. dropping down as he clutched his chest. He coughed and coughed extremely hard as he looked around. No one was around. Looking into his hand, he saw blood. But how was that possible? Why was he bleeding? He only bled when he was injured. Or when...
"Fuck. Where is he?" said Naruto as his eyes darted all over the place, trying to find his other half.
Looking right above him he found his other half. His dead Angelic wings open as he hovered right above Naruto. His face held such hatred and void of life. His scythe held in his hands as he looked on to Naruto.
"Shin! Why are you here? I thought I told you we should never be near each other!" shouted Naruto as the ground they were on began to shake and Naruto felt his Shinigami powers reach incredible heights as they slowly began to become one again.
"I don't want to do your job anymore. You have had too long a job away from your job. He was right. You care for no one but yourself." said Shin (A.N. Naruto's creation to keep the world in balance).
"Who are you talking about? Who's put these thoughts in your head?" snapped Naruto as he flared his powers.
"You will return to your work. Be certain of that." said Shin as he vanished from sight.
Naruto dropped to the floor with blood flowing down his face. Seeing his other self definitly drained him so much. Yes their powers had been resonating, yes they were strong. But to have their powers join together and then have one of them vanish. Left them both weakened. He needed to find a way to keep his distance from his other self. But how could he do that? He needed to know.
Seeing no one around he flared his tattoo to life and the glowing started.
"Wilhelmina-hime. You there?" asked Naruto.
"Naruto-koi. How's it going?" came Wilhelmina's voice through the tattoo.
"Infiltration successful. Though there is a slight snag." said Naruto.
"What type of snag?" asked Wilhelmina.
"My other half came by. And he was pissed. He says that I've been neglecting my work and that I will return to it." said Naruto in a stern voice.
"What are you going to do about that?" asked Wilhelmina.
"I don't know. But I know I'll be in serious trouble the next time I see him." said Naruto sounding worried.
"Why is that?" asked Wilhelmina.
"It had only been 30 seconds. And the ground shook. If I'm not careful. Things will get seriously out of hand. And not to mention. Yuji and everyone else will be in for some serious trouble." said Naruto.
"As you battle with yourself. That's kinda cliche actually." said Wilhelmina.
"I know." said Naruto.
"Just keep your distance next time. Be sure that he won't find you. And you would be okay." said Wilhelmina.
"Not a good idea. We're connected even though we're far apart. Think of us like magnets." said Naruto.
"Now that puts everything differently. The further you're away, the less attraction. The closer you are together, the stronger the pull." said Wilhelmina.
"Yes, that's it. And the end result will be the destruction of the world." said Naruto.
"No pressure right." said Wilhelmina.
"Yeah. No pressure." said Naruto with a crooked smile as he hung up the connection and got back to it before he could get caught.
And scene.
So Naruto has made contact with his other self and now things are getting out of hand as the world will once again be under serious strain. A fight between two gods. Two Shinigamis. A fight of death.
Okay I'll stop with the names. But it will be a serious fight.
Can Naruto overcome this obsticale before the world is destroyed? Or will he fall and everything will be pulled down with him?
Find out soon.
