Okay I really seem to like this story considering this has been the most consistent I've been for like a year... I'll take that as a good thing. As for the poll Naruto is winning by a lot. Really he's winning by like 40% over Sasuke. I'll leave it open for a bit more. Well lets get to the epic battle between Night Raid and the infamous Kitsune(Naruto)
Naruto stood calmly as he examined the Night Raid member in front of him. From the way she looked he made an educated guess that the one in front of him was none other than the Red Eyed Killer Akame. His eyes darted to her sword, the feeling it gave off made it clear that it was a Teigu. "So what can I do for you tonight?" Naruto asked the red eyed assassin.
"Where is Sheele?" One of the two females asked. Naruto's eyes widened under his mask at who it was. Naruto looked back to so see Leone standing ready to fight him. While to him she largely looked the same there were a few differences from her normal look. Now she had longer hair along with several new lion features including two ears, a tail, and claws.
"She's perfectly fine." Naruto answered but despite him being honest he felt several extremely thin threads tighten around him. The blonde frowned as he looked over at the one controlling the wires. 'Lubbock.' he said to himself. He had a feeling that they were hiding something but this wasn't exactly what he expected.
"Lier! We know she lost her legs and was dying the night you took her! What have you done with her!" Lubbock yelled at the blond. Deep down he wanted to tell them who he was but at the moment they weren't the friends that went into his bar but his enemies. The wires tightened around him, cutting slightly into his clothing and mask.
The three tensed as chuckles escaped out of the blond, "I guess I can't take you lightly. I let you get this far in hopes that you would trust me and just wait for the day when I could return Sheele to you. Now, how about the four of us dance." Naruto said flexing his body before spreading his arms open. The green haired teen watched on with widened eyes has his wire was ripped apart with pure strength. The sleeves on his arms were shredded apart by the wire. On his arms were several small cuts caused by the wires tightening around him.
"Impossible!" He yelled as he drew a new set of threads. 'How did do...Is he healing!?' he thought. The three Night Raid members looked on awestricken as steam came out of the masked criminal's wounds. In only a few seconds every cut on the man's body was gone.
"Lets see if you can handle my Sage Mode." Naruto said to the group as he got into the stance for the style he was taught by the toads to use with his senjutsu. "The last people I used this on were crushed before the battle truly began. I hope you three do better." That was the last thing they heard before the masked blond charged at Leone. 'Better lower my speed.' he thought to himself as he started to set parameters for himself. He didn't want to just speed blitz by accident and destroy them too fast. 'That and Leone and Lubbock are my friends.' the blond thought to himself.
The lion woman smirked as she rushed at the incoming teen. The two blonds threw their punches at the same time. Their fists collided with one another, the shock wave caused the tiles under them to shatter. Leone grunted she struggled to match Kitsune's strength. She could feel the bones in her right arm breaking from the force behind the punch.
Naruto didn't have time to say anything clever as he was forced to dodge when Akame attempted to help her friend. The red eyed teen attempted to cut the blond with several perfectly placed slashes which would have hit if it wasn't for Naruto's superior speed and reaction time. Every single dodge was only by the minimal amount of distance at about a millimeter. To them it looked as if the blond was leaving behind after images because of how fast he was moving. A kunai appeared in his right hand. The two blades clashed with one another creating a few sparks.
It was obvious that while Akame had better swords skills, Kitsune's strength and speed was way too far above her level. For the first time in their lives Lubbock and Leone saw Akame being pushed back in a battle between blades. What made it worse was that the masked teen was only using a small knife compared to Akame's sword.
"You're really good Akame!" Naruto said before twisting the kunai in his hand once they clashed again. The blonde smirked when the shorter teen's sword went spinning into the air. Naruto jumped up and grabbed the sword by the handle. Oddly enough his opponent smiled.
Before Naruto could question why she seemed almost happy that he had her weapon a black aura engulfed the sword in his left hand. "Kit let go of that sword!" He heard Kurama yell in his head. Naruto stabbed the sword into the the roof under him and turned in time to catch a punch from Leone.
"Strong." the blond commented as he held the girl's fist in his parm. It truly shocked him how strong she was with her transformation. It was almost like a sage mode only weaker. The blonde's eyes widened as she was lifted off the ground and thrown as if she was weightless. "How about we all just take a second to calm down." Naruto suggested only to sense Lubbock move behind him. He turned in time to catch all the wires sent at him with his bare hands. The blonde smirked as all the attack seemed to do was cut his palms and fingers. A few drops of blood dripped from between his fingers and hands. Lubbock growled a bit as he attempted to pull the wires through the masked man's fingers but found himself unable to do much.
Naruto's eyes switched from looking left and right as he saw both of the females of the assassination group charging at him. If what he had done before hadn't surprised Lubbock he had now. With near no effort he jumped back pulling the wires out of Lubbock's control and into the path of the two assassins. The both the blonde and red eyed assassins were forced to stop their attack to avoid running straight into the wires that were now where the blond used to be
Naruto let go of the wires making them go limp to the ground and allowed his hands to heal from the small cuts on them. "This is good. The three of you are quite skilled." he said before ducking under a horizontal cut from Akame who seemed emotionless. 'Is it wrong that I find my enemies extremely attractive.' he thought as he leaped away only getting small cut on his pinky.
"Got you." She said coldly. Naruto's eyes widened as he felt a powerful poison made it's way through his body. The three of them seemed to relax once he got cut, the blonde smirked as the bijuu chakra in him destroyed the poison before it could do any damage. Akame's eyes widened when Naruto landed perfectly and charged at her once again.
'He resisted the poison!' the three Night Raid members thought at the same time as they once again witness a sight they never thought imaginable. Murasame's poison was meant to be a one hit kill. No one in history had been able to survive even a single cut until this moment.
Akame and Naruto traded blows at speeds where they almost looked like blurs. Every single one of Akame's swings were matched by Naruto as they danced to a deadly ballet. The blonde smirked as he moved the sword out of the way and groped her breasts with his left hand. The red eyed killer had the decency to blush deeply before attempting to sever the hand. "A perfect ten." Naruto muttered as he moved out of the way of some wires.
"How dare you do that to Akame!" Lubbock yelled out in anger as he tried to trap the blond with his wires. Naruto danced around all his attacks, either completely evading them or cutting the wires with his kunai.
"You're the ones attacking me for no reason." 'Kitsune' said before flipping over Leone who had attempted crush his face with powerful kick that destroyed the chimney of the building. 'They're both amazing!' Naruto laughed as he channeled his inner Jiraiya. Naruto threw a kunai at Leone.
The blonde woman was easily able to dodge the knife but at the last second saw the tage attached to the end. A massive cloud of smoke covered the area preventing her from seeing the man appearing behind her in a crouching position. "Secret Finger Jutsu-Thousand Years of Death!" Naruto yelled as he plunged his fingers up Leone's rectum. The woman gasped before she was sent flying holding her behind. Naruto smirked as he avoided a pike made out of threads sent at him from Lubbock. The blonde leaned to the side avoiding the pike by an inch.
The green haired book seller smirked as his fingers causing the bundled spear of threads to unravel rapidly covering the blond in threads. "I got you!" He yelled as he pulled on the strings cutting the cloaked man to piece. "Damn, I didn't mean to kill him before we got Sheele's location." He muttered.
"I think you should look again." Naruto said behind the assassin. The 'Naruto' he had killed turned out to be a substitution. "That was a nice trick!" the blond said before kicking in Lubbock away.
The three of them stood side by side as they faced the masked man. Naruto clapped as he walked towards them, "You three have far exceeded my expectations. Now how about we stop playing around." Naruto said before rushing at them at speeds almost faster than they could see. His first target was Lubbock who attempted to dodge his initial punch but was met with an unknown force that sent him flying back onto another roof
"Lubbock!" Leone yelled as she charged at man who was secretly her drinking friend. Wind swirled around her fist as she cocked it back. Her left foot stomped on the tile roofing as she got ready to punch the blond with all her might. The male blond smiled as he saw the punch coming.
Naruto caught the her by the wrist with ease and followed by throwing her. Akame charged in at him in an attempt to stab him. Naruto dodged the attack and kicked the raven beauty on her left side sending her tumbling. to the edge of the roof.
'Even if I'm not using all my strength and speed these three really are impressive. Maybe with some training they could force me to use Sage Mode to it's full potential.' Naruto thought as he dodged a scratch from Leone's claws. Naruto once again grabbed her arm and twisted her into an arm lock. "I'm sorry." he whispered before pinching the back of her neck.
Akame watched as her last teammate fell. "I'll kill you." She said as she charged at Naruto who was smiling under his mask. The two clashed with one another several times in the blink of an eye. "Where is Sheele?" She asked one more time.
"I can't tell you." He said as he stared into her eyes. For the first time Akame was able to see the yellow eyes with toad-like pupils on the other side of the mask. The eyes faded and changed to an oceanic blue. "You guys are strong, but by yourself you wouldn't be able to handle my Sage Mode since your poison doesn't work on me." He said as he jumped back away from her. The kunai in his hand exploded in smoke which dispelled to show that the blond now held a trench knife. Akame watched as a blue aura extended from the tip of the blade. "Flying Swallow." Naruto whispered the name of the jutsu Asuma taught him before his death.
The two stared at one another for a few seconds before charging. Metal met the chakra blade as the two clashed several times. Even if Naruto was holding back his speed a bit he couldn't help but admire the girl, no the woman's swordsmanship. It was refined to a degree he thought could rival some like Yugao back in his world. Even now he was moving faster than he had thought he would need to in this world. What she lacked in speed compared to him, she made up in pure skill.
The two separated for a bit before Naruto charged at her. Due to her years of training she was able to barely dodge Naruto's swing and attempted to counter only for the masked man to summon a second trench knife allowing him to block her attack. Blue met red as they stared into each other's eyes. Naruto could see all the emotions that the girl held deep within her cold exterior, the regret, the pain, and the determination to protect her friends. Akame on the other hand could see the warm and kindness that Naruto had even though he was a criminal in the eyes of the world. The two once again started to trade blows with Akame's outfit being almost completely shredded from the flurry of attacks while Naruto got a few scratches here and there which didn't do much thanks to Kurama.
Akame was slowly being pushed back by Naruto's faster and stronger attacks. It took every single ounce of skill she had to block the majority of his attacks. Even though they hadn't been at it for long, her arms had already started to feel sore from the strain.
Naruto jumped back a bit giving Akame a bit more room. The raven haired woman was gasping for air. She had never been pushed to use her swordsmanship skills to this extent. Her opponent's attacks didn't have much skill behind them and were more random and easily read but the speed at which they came at her was easily some of the fastest she had seen.
Akame ducked under one of Naruto's swings and charged forward in hopes of stabbing him. The attack was easily dodged by the shinobi who sprung out of the way. Naruto dropped the knife in his right hand in favor of giving Akame a hard spank. Naruto laughed as he used Shukaku's ability of magnetism he pulled the trench knife back to him.
"Magnetism?" Akame muttered when she saw the knife return to the owner. It was clear that he was just toying with them. The way he fought wasn't serious at all, he had even powered down to fight her on a more even footing and still was above her. As much as she hated the empire for what they did to her family she couldn't help but be thankful for the training they gave her which was the only thing letting her keep up with her opponent.
The two met once again as Naruto's chakra blade connected with her Teigu.
On the sidelines Tatsumi arrived to see his friend trading blows with the masked criminal Kitsune. He couldn't help but be amazed at the amazing level of skill the two had. He had seen how strong Akame was but this man was pushing her back. He had been able to take out of of his friends and was pushing Akame to both the literal edge. "Regeneration, super speed, super strength, and that thing he did with his knives. It's like Leone's Teigu but stronger!" He said to himself out loud in a quick panic before calming down as he watched for the proper time to strike. He knew that if he got in the way and Akame accidentally scratched him he was as good as dead.
Speed the two were nothing but a blur to him but he couldn't help but feel something was off. His answer came in the form of an arrow that forced the two to separate. Fire erupted where the arrow landed but seemed to die rapidly.
Naruto looked over to where the arrow came from to see Sayo dressed in her Hime outfit. "Hime what are you doing here!" He yelled at her. Akame didn't miss a beat as she charged at the distracted blond. Tatsumi saw that 'Hime' was getting ready to shoot his teammate with another flaming arrow and decided to jump into the action.
Sayo didn't know how to react as her long lost friend Tatsumi came out of no where and attacked her. The look on his face scared her though, it was one that wouldn't hesitate to kill. The shock of seeing her friend alive was enough of a pause for Tatsumi to slash her across the chest.
Naruto's eyes widened when he saw the blood explode from the cut the green eyed teen created on his friend's chest. "Damn it all!" He yelled as he didn't bother holding back his speed and power as he kicked Akame away breaking a cracking a few of her bones in the process and then charging at Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi...why?" the Night Raid member's eyes widened when he heard the familiar voice.
"S-sayo?" he stuttered before being blind sided by Naruto. Tatsumi gasped as he went flying from the impact. The masked teen picked up his bleeding friend and used his chakra to close the wound before she could bleed out. "S-Sayo, is that really you?" He asked as he crawled towards them. Naruto's killing intent flared as he neared them. The sudden explosion of KI had roused the two unconscious assassins back to the real world.
Naruto watched as Sayo reached for her mask and pulled it off. "Tatsumi...you're alive." She said whispering. Even if the wound was gone the pain still remained and the pain of knowing that it was her own friend who had given it to her hurt even more.
"Tatsumi, is she the friend you were talking about?" Leone asked as she walked over. The teen had told her all about his childhood friend and she knew how he missed her horribly and to a degree had a crush on her. It was what drove him to join Night Raid and what had nearly gotten him killed before.
"Sayo, why are you with these people!?" he yelled at her. Naruto flared his killer intend but focused it on the boy. Tatsumi was forced to his knees as images of his death flooded his head. His body wouldn't move as the visions flooded into his mind. The other Night Raid members watched as their friend was turned into a quivering mess with only a glare.
"Stay away. I was being civil with your group, but now you've injured my ward." He growled he wasn't really angry with the group in general only the boy for attempting to kill Sayo. He had no idea that he had been targeted for assassination. The images stopped as Naruto stopped focusing his intent on him.
"I'm her friend! I don't know what you did to her to force her into joining you but I wouldn't forgive you." Tatsumi yelled at the blond who stood up with the raven haired girl in his arms. A massive pressure was placed on them as the masked teen released more of his power. This time it prevented all of them from moving but lacked the visions of death.
While this was going on Leone finally managed to catch the scent of the blond. Her nose twitched a few times as she recognized if from her daily trips to the bar. It smelled of ramen and nature. Only one person she knew had that unique scent. "Naruto." she whispered so lowly that only she could hear herself speak the name which repeated over and over again in her head.
Naruto took a few deep breaths, "I'm sorry for my outburst, but I really don't like it when my friends get hurt. You'll have your teammate and the Teigu back in a few days after her recovery is completed. But for now I can sense the guards coming here as we speak. I will not reveal any of your identities I promise, and I never break a promise." Naruto said before disappearing.
Tatsumi fell to his knees before he began to cry. The three other Night Raid members looked at one another before Leone picked up the teen. They left just as the guards arrived at the scene. 'She's alive.' Tatsumi thought to himself as he was carried by Leone. The friend he thought had died a long time ago was really alive.'Who or what are you Kitsune?'
Naruto landed on a roof far away from where the battle took place. It amazed him just how long it took for the guards to get there. "You know me one Dobe." Naruto looked over at another roof to find Sasuke standing there in his own disguise. "If I hadn't set up a barrier the area would have been swarmed with guards in minutes." Sasuke said as he jumped over and looked at the unconscious girl in Naruto's arms. "Sorry she got worried about you. Keep a better watch over your responsibilities in the future."
A sigh escaped Naruto's mouth before he nodded. The two of them left in a swirl of leaves and returned to their compound.
(Night Raid Base)
Nagenda pinched her nose as she thought of what to make of the situation. Four of her subordinates had returned from their mission to locate Sheele and kill Kitsune looking like they took a trip down to hell. Akame had several cuts, bruises, fractured bones, and oddly enough a blush. Leone was overall fine thanks to her regeneration but still said her body burned, Lubbock had a few cracked bones and some of his threads were damaged from the fight. Tatsumi looked both mentally and physically exhausted. He only had one his chest that was a massive bruise which Leone said Kitsune had caused with a single kick.
On other thing that she saw was that Leone was oddly solemn but she assumed it was because of how hurt her friends were after the fight. Worst part was that they didn't find out where Sheele was nor did they managed to kill the masked man. If anything they were at the mercy of the man from the start.
"I shouldn't have sent you guys into an assignment without more knowledge even if it would have gone against the order of the Revolutionary army." Najenda said as she sat down trying to plan for the future. "To think that he would have so many types of attacks."
"That sword thing Akame said he did sound like it could be made of the same thing as the orb attack Mine saw." Bulat added. Bulat was a tall, muscular young man with blue eyes and black hair that he wore in a combed up, heart shaped pompadour style. He often donned a black shirt with green shoulder and chest armor and white pants with black boots. He also wore a black leather jacket on top of his outfit.
"Akame are you sure you sword was able to cut him?" the silver haired woman asked the red eyed killer. The silent girl nodded as she took time to eat something during the meeting. The battle had left her quite famished. "This is bad. I've never heard of a Teigu who allows someone so many abilities."
Bulat's eyes widened as he thought of something, "Is it possible that he can use more than one Teigu?" Everyone present thought about what the muscular man had suggested. It certainly looked like it was a possibility. There were a few Teigu which could give powers like strength and speed but none that did that plus that energy ability.
"That may be possible but at the same time not even the Empire's strongest could wield two at the same time. And this is just Kitsune, I can't image what could happen if we were faced to fight both him and Taka at the same time." Najenda responded. Any teigu puts large amounts of strain on one's mind, to have the mental conviction to simultaneously use two or more was completely unheard of.
"It may be a long shot, but he survived a cut from Murasame, even if it's all in one teigu we can't deny that both him and Taka can become problems in the future if they turn out to be enemies. They also have Sheele and Tatsumi's friend seems to have joined them." Bulat said before looking at Leone who was walking away from them. The look on her face made it clear that something was bothering her.
"Something wrong Leone?" Akame asked her friend. She couldn't help but feel a bit down as well. It wasn't everyday that she failed a mission especially one with such high stakes. It wasn't just a battle to kill a target but one to get back their friend whose condition was still uncertain to them.
Leone looked at Akame and opened her mouth as if she was about to say something but just turned and continued out of the hall. The rest of Night Raid watched her walk out. "What do you think happened?" Mine finally spoke up. She had been busy on a short mission during the encounter with Kitsune, now she wished she was there to at least help.
"I don't know. Maybe something about Kitsune made her think of someone." Najenda said before a they ended the meeting. They were all tired after the events of the night. "Tatsumi, if you want you can skip your mission with Mine tomorrow." Nejenda offered. She didn't want the kid going off into a dangerous situation with his head on backwards, it would only lead to his death.
"No." Tatsumi said as he wiped away a few tears. "I have to be strong to get Sayo and Sheele back." He said as looked at Mine who smirked at him. "Lets do this."
"Just don't slow me down." The pinkette responded before walking away. Tatsumi nodded and left as well.
(Temple)
Naruto placed Sayo on her bed before turning to Sasuke who was standing behind him. "Next time you go off releasing your killing intent make sure you're not in the middle of a city." the Uchiha said before going off to sleep. Naruto sighed as he made sure to check on Sayo to make sure she was perfectly fine after the attack. Luckily the cut hadn't left a scar on her skin, he knew that if it did it would have been a permanent reminder of how her friend attacked her.
"To think Leone and Lubbock were members of Night Raid." Naruto said before blowing out a candle which kept the room lit. He moved quitely through the halls checking in on everyone making sure everything was fine. He opened Sheele's door slightly to find her sleeping peacefully.
Over the few days since he had saved her her legs had been getting better as her body recognized that it's limbs were back. The last thing he checked on was a scroll that both Sasuke and him kept in a hidden room. This was where they stored anything they deemed too dangerous. The only thing sealed inside of the scroll was the teigu they had acquired when he saved Sheele.
(Next Day)
Naruto watched as Sheele swam against the current of a stream near their temple. She had made amazing progress over the last few days. Her legs were able to keep her from getting carried away by the water for a few minutes. He was still wearing his mask and cloak around her at all times since he had no intention of keeping her locked up with them.
"You're doing good Sheele." Naruto commented which caused her to turn to him. Unfortunately she also stopped swimming allowing the river to carry her down the stream. "Damn it!" the Uzumaki yelled as he ran on the water. It didn't take long to catch up to her and pull her out into his arms. "Sorry, I shouldn't have distracted you." He said.
"No it's my fault!" Sheele yelled out. The two heard a small laugh from the side of the river as Spear and Sasuke arrived. It was clear that the giggle came from the female teen because of the pitch and the fact that if Sasuke ever giggled Naruto was sure the world would explode.
"Move it dobe, I have to train the girl her so she wouldn't be so weak." Sasuke said crudely. Spear pouted and punched Sasuke lightly in retaliation. "I rest my case. That punch was pathetic." Sasuke said as picked her up and threw her into the current. "Swim to the surface." he said before she landed.
Naruto gasped at his friends training style. It reminded him of when Jiraiya threw him into a ravine in order to learn how to summon properly. The three watched as Spear's head bursted out of the water. The poor girl was gasping for air as she fought against the river.
"Do this for an hour. If you fail you'll take a ten minute break then start over. You will continue this until you can complete it." Sasuke said as he sat down to watch the girl. He hadn't even let her change into swim wear.
"Don't you think that's a bit cruel Teme?" Naruto asked the uchiha who scoffed and refused to answer. "Well just make sure she doesn't die." Naruto sighed as he walked away carrying Sheele since her legs were still tired from the swim.
A hand reached up and tried to grab his mask. The blond sighed as he dropped Sheele on the soft forest ground. "Hey that hurt!" the purplette complained as she rubbed her stinging behind.
"When are you going to give up on trying to take my mask?" Naruto asked as he leaned against a tree. For the last few days she had been trying to take his mask every chance she got. He might have let her see his face since he wouldn't need to wear in at home anymore but since Night Raid for now was an enemy he couldn't do that.
"Until I see why you're hiding." She answered. Naruto sighed and picked her up again.
"I can't do that. After last night the situation between me and your friends is murky. One day we may be enemies and I can't have you knowing my face." Naruto told her. Sheele looked saddened at the fact that she might one day become her savior's enemy. He had done so much for her, more than almost anyone else He had given her back her legs and saved her from certain death.
"I see, but what if you join Night Raid? You said that Sayo was Tatsumi's friend." She suggested. Naruto smiled under his mask but responded by shaking his head.
"Sorry but we can not join Night Raid. While at the moment we fight for the same cause, but if the Revolutionary Army ever strays from the path of peace and ends up like the Empire we will be there to either put it back in it's place or destroy it." Naruto explained to the purple haired girl who frowned at the response.
"Then what if we don't end up like the Empire? What if we really do bring peace to the Empire!?" She asked him. She didn't want to admit it but the masked man had truly become important to her. "Then can we at least be allies?" She asked.
Naruto smiled under his mask, "Of course! Well that's if your friends ever stop trying to kill me." the two laughed after Naruto responded. Deep down the two really hoped that both the shinobi and Night Raid buried the hatchet can could coexist.
(With Sasuke and Spear, thirty minutes later)
"I hate you!" Spear yelled as she swam against the current. Sasuke just sat on the side smirking. "When I finish this I'm going to get you!" She screamed before a rock hit her in the head causing her to falter and get overtaken by the river.
"Start over." Sasuke said to the blond who crawled out of the river. Sasuke walked over causally when he noticed that she wasn't moving. "You better not be dead." Sasuke said giving Spear a few light kicks before her hand came up and grabbed his ankle.
"I got you!" She exclaimed trying to pull Sasuke into the river but wasn't able to move him an inch. Spear ground before fainting on the sand. The Uchiha looked down coldly before smiling as he picked her up.
"Not bad." Sasuke said before returning back to the Temple. Sasuke placed Spear down on the wooden floor and grabbed a new set of clothing for her. It didn't take long for him to strip her of shirt, pants, and undergarments. The Uchiha tried not to look too much as he dressed her. "Maybe I pushed her too much." Sasuke said moving her over to her bed. The Uchiha quietly tucked her in under her covers. "The dobe is rubbing off on me." Sasuke sighed as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
(Night Time)
Leone walked into the bar alone. The bar was surprisingly full today with a lot of women from across the city. Many of them seemed to be gather around the counter where the bartender was serving drinks. "Naruto!" She called out pushing the crowd apart much to find someone new working the counter.
Unlike the blond that normally worked there this man had black hair which was spiked back and two law length bangs framing his face. His eyes were a plain black that seemed like an emotional void. His face reflected this by being completely stoic even around all the women throwing themselves at him. He wore a plain white high collared shirt and black pants.
The man looked at her when she called out the blonde's name. "He's in the back." He said before going back to serve the customers around him. 'Stupid dobe making me cover for him here.' Sasuke thought as he set down three mugs of sake.
Leone opened the door that lead to the back room of the bar. Walking deeper she took notice of just how many different types of alcohol Naruto had at his disposal. Many were brands she never even heard of in the past and others that she had heard of she knew costed outrageous amounts of money to buy.
After checking several rows of stocked liquor she finally found Naruto taking count of how many bottles he had in a crate. "Naruto…" this caught the blonde's attention. "I need to talk to you. Privately." the blond looked at her for a few seconds before nodding.
"Is something troubling you Leone? You know I'll always be there for you." Naruto said smiling at her. Much to his surprise Leone didn't react but rather remained serious. If anything her eyes narrowed on him a bit.
"Really? Then I guess if we ever fight Taka you'll help us won't you 'Kitsune'?" She questioned sarcastically. Naruto froze for a few moments before sighing. He knew that she was a member of Night Raid but didn't really expect her to find out who he really was. Thinking back he had compared her transformation to his sage mode meaning it could have given her enhanced senses.
"I wouldn't bother denying it." Naruto said as he sat down on a crate. She wasn't stupid, he knew that even if he tried to deny her accusations it would only make him seem even worse. "I guess this ends our friendship?" He said sounding a depressed. He really liked having the blonde woman around, unlike most of the capital she was genuinely nice.
Leone frowned as she sat next to him, "It doesn't have to. Sure because of what happened yesterday there is some bad blood between you and Tatsumi but you were just defending yourself." She said leaning on his shoulder. "But tell me. Why do you kill?"She asked him. Naruto once again sighed.
"We kill because we want to make this world better. The people we kill are the scum of this empire. Sometimes we take missions but only from one source and we know he can be trusted. How did you figure out who I was?" Naruto responded. he was constantly using his senses to make sure no one walked in on them. He didn't want to put Leone in an awkward spot if Sasuke walked in or worse Sasuke decided to go retarded and let Lubbock in as well.
"The way smell." She responded. Naruto deadpanned before sniffing his clothing a few times to check if he smelled bad. Leone laughed lightly at the way the blond acted. "I like it." She said before standing up. "I promise I wouldn't tell anyone who you are unless you want me to." She said offering and hand to the blond. Naruto took it only to be pulled into a kiss by the Night Raid member.
Naruto's eyes widened as he felt her tongue exploring the insides of his mouth before they closed and started to respond. Leone actually moaned a bit when he forced his own tongue into her mouth and quickly started dominating the kiss.
The two separated leaving a trail of saliva linking their lips. "That was for poking me in the ass." She said wiping her lip. Naruto blushed slightly but smirked.
"Well if that's the case I'll be sure to do that more often." He joked receiving a light punch. Naruto looked a bit nervous, "So what happens if we end up as enemies?" He asked the teigu user,
"Then I'll beat your ass somehow and take you as a private prisoner." Leone said laughing. Naruto tried to look serious for a while but failed to hold it in as he joined her in laughter.
"Maybe we could have dinner some time?" He asked
Leone smiled towards him, the previous tension in the air had vanished as the two enjoyed each other's company. "I would love that. Tomorrow?" She said back to him.
"It's a date." Naruto said as he lead her out of the back room. On the way out he grabbed a bottle of Sake and handed it to her. "This is for your friends. Tell them I'm sorry for being so rough on them but don't tell them who I am. There are dozens of bars in the city so it'll keep them guessing." Naruto said before laughing. It didn't take long before Leone joined in on the laughter as they walked through the bar. In the background Sasuke was quickly being overran by the increasing number of young women who were coming into the bar. "Actually I wouldn't mind if you told that Akame girl hehehe." Naruto added. Leone smirked at that, she knew that he meant it playfully but it still didn't stop a devious idea from forming in her head.
"Noted." Leone said before she saw Lubbock walking towards them. Naruto tensed a bit before Leone wrapper her arms around his right arm and pressed it into her cleavage. "Hey Lubbock guess what! Naruto and I are dating!" She yelled causing many of the people on the streets to look at the two. Naruto looked a bit nervous at all the glares he was getting from the men of the area.
"So you finally pounced on him. Congratulation." He said before patting Naruto the the shoulder and leaning in. "If you hurt her- I'll kill you." he whispered into his ear. Naruto couldn't help but laugh internally. he wondered if the green haired teen would say the same if he knew he was Kitsune.
The bar doors suddenly exploded as several women ranging from their teens to their middle ages were thrown out. The three looked back to find Sasuke wiping his hands at the door. "I'll fix the door later." Sasuke said before walking back to the desk.
And I'm done! Yes I actually took the step and made Leone hook up with Naruto first. And no there will not be lemons for a while. Don't even ask for them yet. Next chapter I'm going to try working more with Sasuke since I tend to focus on Naruto. As for the pairings they are mostly finalized with the exception of Najenda which seems to be going Naruto's way. I already have an awesome joke for when Naruto and Sasuke meet her.
A question that has been asked several times is about the summons. I'm going to say Sasuke can summon via animal path but only other humans in the world or Danger Beasts. I don't want to deal with the whole 'He could just reverse summon back to Ma and Pa's house' thing

Lastly next week will be a God of Monsters update so there is a high chance I may not get around to this one next week. I'm also getting back into writing Hidden Roots and am thinking where I will take Second Juubi.
Later
