Chapter 4:
Land of Fang, Vigoor Empire
Naruto and Ayane were moving across the rooftops to avoid the armed soldiers below them. "There are literally no people other than these soldiers out. Doesn't this place have any policeman or something that would be on patrol this hour?"
"There are no police, the military itself is the law enforcement here in Tairon. This is literally a military based country." Ayane said.
"Wow! I hate to see what they do to people for littering here." Naruto said as they continued on. Naruto soon heard the sound of laughter and clapping and went to see what it was.
What they saw was a group of people men women and children civilians gathered around would love to be a circus performer doing magic tricks such as juggling balls above their head without even touching them. "A street performer at this hour while the city is on code yellow?" Ayane said confused while watching the performance as the levitating balls flew up into the air and exploded into fireworks learning cheers and applaus. "But I got to admit they ain't half bad."
Naruto took a closer look at the street performer to see that it was a girl with platinum blonde hair short spiky ears wearing a witch's hat a small pink purple tank top and the skirt that looked like spell books and Longstockings one pink and one purple with matching Jester shoes and green eyes and then it finally dawned on him. "Oh you gotta be kidding me, what she doing here?"
"You know that person?" Ayane asked.
"Yes, that's...Magilou." Naruto said slightly depressed.
"What? You mean the girl that was from the same orphanage as you and is a member of the Court?" Ayane said surprised to see a court member also here at Vigoor. "If she's the mysterious person that's being talked about and that means the court may have interest in the black dragon blade." Ayane looked at the colorful Mage with worry because chances are she might not be alone. "Naruto, this doesn't look good. We were prepared for Vigoor's Army and possibly dealing with rock ninjas but if the Court decides to get involved there's no telling what could happen."
"I know. That's why we're going to follow her and once we're sure she's alone we'll go talk to her." Naruto said that's surprising Ayane.
"What?! I get going to follow her but going up to talk to her is too risky! Why do you want to do something like that?"
"Because believe it or not I think magilou is attracting attention to herself just so she can draw us out. In fact." Naruto looking down from the rooftops noticed that made a quick glance at his Direction and smiled mischievously. "She already knows we're here."
After Magilou's performance she began walking the street as Naruto and Ayane followed her. Magilou was soon stopped by some Soldiers who wanted her to come with them. Naruto and Ayane were going to interfere until Magilou snapped her fingers, whispered something and soldier suddenly fell asleep. "Wow. Well that was unfortunate I meant to say sheep not sleep. oh well! Now that their out the way you two can come out."
A few seconds later Naruto jumped down from the rooftops and was now in front of her. "Magilou, it's been a while, how are ya been?" Naruto greeted.
"I've been good. I mean I just made 500 for that little magic show I did back there. So why's the the girl still up there? Is she afraid I'll put her to sleep?" Magilou said.
"She's just making sure There isn't anyone else Possibly watching us. So if you're here that must mean Sin or Yuyake are here too." Naruto Inquired.
"Nope! It's just me. Well Me and one other person but you don't know. The 2 mixed eyed couple are off doing something else, There are a whole lot of other stuff going on in the world than you think." Magilou answered. "The Prince has really been keeping us busy lately." She muttered the last part out.
Naruto just sweatdrop at her."She knows I have Enhanced hearing! but wait? Prince? What are you doing here Magilou?"
"I'm just here to observe things. To see how this all turns out. We have no interest in the dark dragon blade so tell your friend up there she can relax we're not here to get in the way." Magilou answered. "Buuut! If you want I can help you out with some Special Intel which could be Very helpful." Magilou said with a mischievous smile.
"And end up being in your debt? No way! And besides we already have someone on our team for that, so no thanks." Naruto refused.
"Oh well too bad then. But if you change your mind the offer still stands, the night is still young and things haven't gone to complete hell yet." Magilou said turning to leave.
"Wait Magilou! You said there was one other person with you. Where are they?" Naruto asked.
Magilou stopped and turn her head around still having her mischievous smile. "They're Doing a very special assignment but rest assure it has nothing to do with you guy. At least let me give you a warning to not try to pursue this person especially if you're trying to stay focused on your main mission here. So any other questions before I go?"
"...No. That's all I want to know for now. I have places to be and people to meet up with. Thank you for the info." Naruto said leaving.
"No problem, But I do expect you'll be back for more!" Magilou said.
After their conversation ended naruto went back to Ayane and told her what he found out. "So other then this other person doing something Secretive, she's only here to observe what's going on. Well that's good I guess." Ayane said although Naruto could still see she was worried and asked what was wrong. "It's this other court member that I'm concerned about. I'm worried that they might be a Constellation General. With the situation as it is they would have been fools not to send one."
Naruto didn't really think about that until she said it. In the Court there are 3 classes Each with an advanced class and above them the constellation generals and above them the zodiac. Naruto so far has never seen or met a constellation general but he knows that Ayane has and it wasn't pretty. "Well, since we found out who the mysterious person was we're done here. So let's go meet up with Ryu and Tsuru." Naruto said charging the subject.
Ayane knew what he was doing but did appreciate it. "Yeah we should, Ryu definitely needs to hear this."
With Ryu and Tsuru
Ryu and Tsuru were walking through the streets that didn't have a lot of soldiers around. Soon they arrived at a deserted street with no one inside. "Where is everyone? Intruders have literally invaded The capital and there are hardly any guards around this area." Tsuru pointed out.
Ryu found the silence of the area quite ominous as if they walking into an ambush that could spring at any minute.
Then the silence was finally broken when Ryu's earpiece phone that was in his mask rang. "Hello? Who's calling?" Ryu asked as he and Tsuru hid in the alleyway.
"Guess who Dragon boy." Someone said from the other line. The voice was female.
"Lady Samiramis. And what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" Ryu asked.
"Business." Samiramis said. "By the way I like the new suit."
Ryu was surprised to hear that. "Are you watching me from somewhere?" Ryu asked looking around for the possibility that he might be being watched.
"Relax I saw it on the camera feed from the Airship you just crashed." Samiramis said.
"Oh that makes more sense than. Also sorry about that. It was one of those desperate times called for drastic measures." Ryu apologized.
"Not to worry I saw the situation you we're in, and lucky for you You're in the perfect position to pay me back right now." Samiramis said confusing the two dragon ninjas. "You see not too long ago I got a Message from my inside ninja In the old black spider clan that we separated ourselves from. They say that they have Infiltrated Vigoor looking for The black dragon blade."
Despite being surprised Ryu replied. "How exactly did they know about that?"
"I don't know? They were tipped off I guess. But back on the topic, they're is now a large group of black spiders in Tairon so no doubt you'll encounter them sooner or later. So..."
"Other than your spy you want us to Eliminate them." Ryu said getting to the point.
"Yes. They been a torn in my thighs for too long." Samiramis said sounding annoyed. "They been Trying to infiltrate my town, Attacking my ninjas while their on missions, and even trying to falsly incriminate me by making people think they're from my faction. So If you eliminate these a nuisances here it would greatly damage the old faction and benefit mine, and this will make us square on the airship you crashed."
"How many are there?" Ryu asked areeing to do it after all they're after the dark dragon blade which means they'll have to deal with them anyway.
"About 28 In total Minus my spy 27. I am not asking you to kill them all at once just make sure that by the end of this fiasco none of them leave that city alive. Also if you see a man in green named Gamov, Make sure to be extra wary of him."
"Consider your request accepted." Ryu said as he can feel eyes from above watching him. And with that he ended the call. "It looks like Samiramis doesn't have a lot of tolerance for you guys."
just then 4 Black spider ninjas jump down surrounding Ryu and Tsuru who were back-to-back. "That devil of a women that tore apart our clan will get what's coming to her someday but right now prepare to die Hayabusa Ninja!" One of them said as they went on the attack.
Ryu did a vertical slash cutting one of them in the chest before stabbing a second one in their left shoulder before swinging upward taking their arm off before ending it with a downward slash to the head to the first one.
Tsuru used her new arm blades and did a wind blade slash striking one of the black spider ninjas in the leg cutting it off and quickly jumped in the air to do an air assassination on the last one stabbing him in the neck.
With all of them dead Ryu and Tsuru were able to take a small break. "And to think I was just getting use to having Spider ninjas as allies, but I guess it was only a matter of time before we met the other group." Tsuru said looking at the corpses. "Just how did they know about the black dragon blade being in Vigoor's capital?"
"I don't know but we'll have to deal with them regardless." Ryu said sensing some people coming. "Let's meet up with Naruto and Ayane before we discuss this any further."
"Yes." Tsuru said nodding.
Outside Han's Bar
Naruto just made it to Han's Bar with Ayane saying she'll go back out to collect more information.
Naruto waiting outside until he saw 3 people on Motorcycles circling around him before stopping. "Do you have a Ticket for the Party!" One of them asked while revving up his bike in a taunting manner.
Naruto not the least bit affected only smirked. "No, but I'll show myself in anyway." Naruto said taking out his spear. The biker soldiers were ready to Run him over until naruto jumped up and cast a slip spell causing one of them to lose control and fall off their bike and hit the ground hard. He then Landed on a second soldier who was on his bike and kicked him off the causing him to fall on the ground unconscious and stared directly at the last biker who was revving up ready to Go total with Naruto.
Both Naruto and the soldier began to drive towards each other With the soldier aiming his gun at him only for Naruto to jump off and from mid air use his air rifle jutsu to shoot at the bike he was on Where he placed anexplosive tag causing it to explode just as it for closing in on the last biker soldier causing another explosion Killing him in the process as Naruto landed on his feet. "Quickest way into a private party just knock out the bouncer."
"If that's so then I know not to bring you clubbing." Ryu said as he and Tsuru showed up landing off the rooftops. "So what did you and Ayane find out about the mysterious person?"
Naruto sighed. "Your not gonna like this but the Court has-" Just then a Large crowd of ran out of the bar Screaming.
"RUN! IT'S A MONSTER!"
"NO WORSE! A FIEND!"
"A Fiend!?" Naruto and Tsuru said.
"Ready your weapons, we're going in!" Ryu said as they entered the bar.
Once inside what they saw An empty nightclub with the bodies of monsters On the floor with the only one standing was a dinosaur like creature standing off against a woman would rather revealing Strap clothing Wielding a Giant warhammer, he had white skin and had Light blue eye with pale blond hair in a Mid length ponytail. With one swing of the warhammer she decapitated the Fiend as its head rolled on the floor. She then turned around and notice the 3 ninjas. "Well well. What brings ninjas here to Tiron?" She asked.
Outside on top of Han's Bar Ryu was taking to the woman who's name was Rachel who was Demon hunter.
While they were talking Naruto and Tsuru were discussing what they found out when they split up.
"So the Black Spider Clan that's Separate from Aunt Sami's faction is here looking for the black dragon blade too? And to make matters worse we have two court members here observing everything with an agenda of their own. Is it me or does this whole situation seems to get more and more complicated much quicker than it should?" Naruto asked.
"It's not just you." Tsuru said before Looking over at Ryu and Rachel. "So what about her? She said she's some kind of Demon Hunter? Isn't that somewhat similar to a Slayer?"
"Well kinda. Hunters are Slayers who are not Affiliated with the Slayers Organisation, They're freelancers. Just like how workers are freelancers to the adventurer's guild." Naruto answered.
"That makes more sense. That means she works for herself." Tsuru said as she and Naruto saw Rachel depart by jumping off the roof using a grappling hook. "I should get myself one of those."
"You Seem to have quite a way with the ladies." Out of nowhere the man in the green trench coat and Fedora appeared behind them Completely surprising them. " Don't mind me I'm just passing by. Anyway good luck with that Doku guy. You 3 are going to need it."
"And who are you supposed to be?" Naruto asked.
The Man walked over towards the edge of the building. "Gamov. I Wouldn't worry too much about Rachel I know her quite well. She'll be just fine."
"We weren't asking." Tsuru said Ready to attack The man at a moment's notice.
Gamov climbed on top of the ledge and then gently drop down causing the 3 ninjas to run over and look down only to see he was gone with no trace whatsoever. "And there go's another weirdo." Naruto said.
"So what's her story, Ryu?" Tsuru asked.
"She has a sister who was turned into a fiend by Doku so she definitely knows of him. She may even know more but she wasn't willing to tell me." Ryu said. "Also that man that just left, Gamov. Samiramis said to the extra weary of him it's so no doubt will eventually have to face him."
"Master if it's alright with you I would like to follow Rachel to see if I can find out anything else from her and to see what she's capable of." Tsuru volunteered.
"If you think it'll help then go ahead, just remember it's just a conscious with fiends running around as well as black spiders we can't afford to hold back at this point." Ryu said.
"I will, I'll let you guys know what I find when we meet up again." Tsuru said jumping off the balcony to follow Rachel.
Now it was just Ryu and Naruto. "So what do we do now?" Naruto asked.
"We continue to look for Doku and for that we'll need to fight the fiends, that should draw him out. But first we need to stop by an friend's place to do a few thing." Ryu advised.
"Is it about using the scroll? Given the situation and there are so many enemies around it might be safe it to use it now then later." Naruto said pointing towards the scroll that was still on his back.
"Yeah we're going to use it now but we should do it at a safe place and also we need to discuss something that's been bothering me since we've got here. We're being watched so is not safe to discuss our plans in the open so the place we're going should at least give us the Privacy that we need." Ryu said as he and Naruto jump off the balcony and began leaving the area just as the military was coming to investigate what transpired at the nightclub.
"So where are we going?"
"A blacksmith shop." Ryu replied.
Land of Earth
Joe was still making his way towards the hidden Rock Village until he stopped at a small river. He was sitting on a stone when suddenly a group of 30 Rock ninjas appeared all around him with one of them appearing a few feet away from him. "Joe Hayabusa what might we owe the pleasure of your the visit?"
"I think you know exactly why I'm here." Joe said not the least bit worried about the people that outnumbered him. "I'm here to talk with Onoki. You can make this easy by taking me to him."
"No one sees the 3th Tsuchikage without making an appointment including trespassers like you." The Rock Ninja said pointing his sword at Joe confident then him and the people with him can subdue the legendary White Dragon.
"To bad I was hoping you all would make this easier. Although I do admire your bravery it seems only half of you seem to share it." Before The Rock ninja could ask what he meant by that Joe Unleashed a surge of spiritual pressure the hit like a wave of gravity causing the unprepared to fall unconscious taking out half of them and only leaving 15. Joe then got up and unsheathed his sword. "Ok then. Shall we get started?"
The Rock ninjas that were left were all hesitant but stood their ground the leader called out to them. "Don't show him your fear men! Let's combine our strengths and take down this intruder, attack!"
End
And here's chapter 4 and thank God finally done! It took a lot longer than I thought but I've been so busy with work lately that I barely had time to write without feeling tired and falling asleep so sorry if it took so long for I really wanted to get this done before New Year's.
As you can see my favorite assistant in commentary Magilou has made her appearance in the story for what she's doing here that's for me to know and for you to find out as you tune in but I assure you, you will be surprised.
But anyway leave your questions in the reviews or PM me and I'll see you all next time and hopefully it'll be a shorthair wait.
