Chaotic
"Okay kid, you got all of us here. What is it that you wanted to tell us?" Choza asked Naruto, who looked at them seriously.
"It's about the offer I made to your sons and you too, Lee." Naruto prepared himself mentally and plotted an escape root before he said his words. "I'm part of a Dark Guild called Grimoire Heart."
(Year X782)
"How is the progress for Project Nobody?" Hades asked Orochimaru who was looking at a large watery tube in front of them.
"I have stabilized the subject but it needs more power….more essence of darkness." Orochimaru replied to Grimoire Heart's Master, not taking his eyes off the tube in front of him.
"I see. Naruto's group is still on a mission, a very dangerous one. Let's hope that the spies on his team won't interfere with the operation." Hades commented and looked at the tube again. "This is the tenth subject, correct?"
"Yes. I label this one Subject X, not only does it mean 10 but it also refers to the unknown. Because I have a feeling this one shall be an unknown variable in the future." Orochimaru was impressed with his own contribution to this project.
"A feeling? That is unlike you, usually you only have expectations." Hades chuckled a little. "But your study of Alchemy has been a help to you, I must visit again Guiltina someday."
"Yes, Alchemy is truly remarkable." Orochimaru was fixated on his work and knew that Project Nobody would be his greatest creation.
'He really needs to get his ego in check.' "Well Subject 10 is progressing nicely, but what have you done with the previous subjects?" Hades looked at Orochimaru, who merely had a look of disgust.
"What would you do with trash? I disposed of them. Well, most of them anyway. Subject 9 is still in the basement. Subject 9's failure helped with Subject X's creation, but I have no use for it for Project Nobody." Orochimaru told Hades with complete certainty. 'But perhaps I can use it as a future host if Subject X is off-limits.'
"I see. I'll take Subject 9 off your hands. Do you have any objections?" Hades asked Orochimaru in a menacing tone, with the latter simply giving a stoic look at the old wizard before turning his attention back at the tube.
"None." Orochimaru already had another contingency for his body. 'I am glad that I prepared a new body just in case and away from the old man's prying eye. I will be free of the curse you placed on me, and I will gain powers beyond you.'
'Orochimaru, you are genius, but so am I. Once Project Nobody is complete, you can do whatever you want. The Ultimate Magical World will be within our reach!' Hades also began to think about the other two dark guild's that have gained prominence and are considered Grimoire Heart's equals. "Orochimaru, before I go, I want to ask if you would accompany me to the Balam Alliance meeting?"
"I can see why you would ask me. The Oracion Seis has dangerous individuals and Brain himself is powerful. And let's not forget that we do not have much information on Tartaros." Orochimaru was contemplating on going, if only to see the power of the ones that were in charge of the guilds who possessed power comparable to Grimoire Heart. "I accept. Is there anyone else who will accompany us?"
"Bluenote of course." Hades replied, making even Orochimaru surprised by this revelation.
"Why not Ultear or Azuma? Bluenote may be a bit unstable." Orochimaru knew Bluenote was perhaps the most destructive of Grimoire Heart and a monster in his own right.
"Because Ultear is still infiltrating the Magic Council and Azuma in on a mission. Besides with you and I there, we can control Bluenote." Hades himself is the strongest member of Grimoire Heart and Orochimaru is a former Wizard Saint, both magical geniuses. They could handle Bluenote from going a rampage.
"There's more that you're letting on. Who are you worried about? The Oracion Seis or Tartaros?" Orochimaru questione and was answered by a small laugh.
"Tartaros of course. They are the real threat considering its members are demons." Hades told Orochimaru, who was surprised by this.
"When you mean demons, do you mean actual demons?" Orochimaru was intrigued meeting demons, creatures that he has not seen for a while and potential test subjects.
"Yes. The members of Tartaros are comprised of real demons. But not just any demons, they are demons from the book of Zeref." Hades only made Orochimaru more curious.
"Then I shall join you. I'm more than capable of filling for Bluenote, do you not agree?" Orochimaru asked the old wizard who then nodded his head once.
"Fine. But don't cause a fight." Hades turned around and attempted to leave.
"You only used Bluenote as a way to get me to come without asking me to come." Orochimaru was not an idiot, he could have been forced to come, but Hades had a habit of manipulating his subordinates as a small form of entertainment. "I'm going to kill Naruto. The boy is a bad influence on you, with all due respect."
"Perhaps, but I do enjoy messing with you. Or would you rather I use my power to force you to go instead?" When Orochimaru was silent, Hades laughed a little.
"Speaking of the boy, when will you tell him that two of his subordinates are spies for the Magic Council?" Orochimaru and Hades both knew that amongst Naruto's team, two members in particular only joined to give the Magic Council information on Grimoire Heart.
"The mission I have sent them on should deal with them. And their fathers will not be an issue." 'You must understand Naruto, you are an important piece of Grimoire Heart. Those two spies, however, are expendable.'
(Unknown Location)
"Choji! Shrink yourself back down now!" Shino, who had grown taller and wore a hoodie. He used his bugs to hold back purple skeletal monsters. Choji, who now looked a lot like his father, wearing similar armour and was able to change his size just like Choza now. But just like his father, he made himself a bigger target.
"Agh!" Choji was hit by a few purple beams from the monsters but used the last of his strength to take out the monsters with one last punch before reverting to normal size and panting heavily. "Dammit! Where's Lee? Or Naruto?" Shino was now by Choji's side.
"Lee is engaging Kimimaro Kaguya in combat, but even with his abilities, Kimimaro is powerful." Shino was at his limit himself.
"We have a moment to breathe, but we're not going to last if more of those things show up." Choji did not have any strength left to use his spells but attempted to get back up. "What about Naruto?"
"He's fighting the demon that's controlling these monsters."
(With Naruto) (One Piece OST-Rookies Entrance)
"Come on!" Naruto had grown much taller, his hair much spikier and his voice deeper. He wore a white tank top with a red spiral on it, black pants, and black boots. He had a brown strap diagonally over his top which had a small holder on the back. In his hand was a broadsword shaped like a butcher knife. He was now standing on top of the arm of a giant monster, which looked like a bulkier version of the smaller creatures Choji and Shino fought.
The monster lifted its other arm to attack Naruto, only for Naruto to smirk and jump out of the way by channelling darkness into his feet, using the darkness to propel himself. The monster hit its own arm and tore it off.
"Ouch! That's gotta hurt!" Naruto then performed a forward roll with his weapon, channelling darkness into it. "I call this attack, Dark Execution: Buzzsaw!" Naruto tore through the giant creature's head and went through its entire body, splitting it in half. The creature's remains wilted until it became dust. 'Nice! I can use this sword efficiently now! I hope the guys are okay.'
(OST End) (With Lee)
"You're not half-bad. But you cannot defeat me." Kimimaro Kaguya was a tall boy, older than Rock Lee and has bones protruding from his body, some were already broken, no doubt thanks to Lee. Lee was taller and wore a green sleeveless bodysuit but had a light green vest over it. He had orange leg warmers and white bandages on his hands. "Your magic increases your physical attributes, but your body must be conditioned for it. In other words, you trained in order to become stronger, and you used up stamina and magic power by using that Primary Lotus technique of yours."
(Play Naruto OST-Beautiful Green Beast)
"Then I shall show you that the hidden lotus blooms twice." Lee crossed his arms and his skin turned red, his hair waved upwards, and his body covered in aura. His eyes were also completely white, with some veins popping out. He undid his bandages.
'This form…I have to use my demonic powe….' Kimimaro was punched by Lee, who moved much faster than Kimimaro could react. 'I've been much too lax with thi*s one and let my guard down for a moment.' Kimimaro's face and body had marks starting to appear.
'I cannot afford to waste even a second against this man. I will end this fight and return to my friends…Naruto, I still need to defeat you!' Every hit, only little movement was wasted, Lee repeatedly kick Kimimaro until he was in the air. Lee was now behind Kimimaro, whom had a hidden smirk as Lee wrapped his bandages around the older boy. 'This is the end! Hidden Lotus!' Lee spun rapidly with Kimimaro and his heads aiming towards the ground. They both hit the ground, causing a crater and dust cloud.
(OST End)
"Agh!" Lee was one the ground, his left shoulder and right leg were wounded heavily, with blood leaking out of them. He was being stomped on by Kimimaro, whose skin became ashen-grey and he appeared more demonic. He reverted back to his human form a few seconds after.
'If I hadn't created more bones in this state when I was wrapped by those bandages, I wouldn't have escaped his technique. I was saving this form for your leader, but I must commend you for pushing me this far.' Kimimaro had a bone protrude from shoulder until he grabbed it with his right hand and bulled out a sharp bone.
"Dark Shot!" Kimimaro was shot by a dark blast from his left side and sent flying back. Naruto had arrived at Lee's aid with his right hand stretching out, indicating that he sent the blast at Kimimaro.
"Well, that was easy. You okay Lee?" Naruto walked towards Lee and carefully helped him up.
"I'm sorry. I underestimated him and he beat me." Lee was disappointed in himself, but he was suddenly hit on the head by Naruto. "Ouch! What was that for!?" Lee held his head with his hands.
"You're taking your loss too hard. You're alive and that's all that matters." Naruto's words hit Lee and he began to cry tears of joy. However, before Lee could say anything, Naruto grabbed him and used his sword to block some projectiles. "Hey! Watch it!"
"That blade….The Kubikiribocho or simple known as the Executioner's Blade. That belonged to Zabuza Momochi, the Mist Demon. It was said to be lost after his final fight with Kakashi Hatake but recovered by one of his apprentices, Suigetsu Hozuki. You defeated him, didn't you?" Kimimaro was the one who shot the projectiles, using the bones from his fingers.
"That with the sharp teeth and turn into water? Yeah, I did. He was tough, but nothing I couldn't handle." 'I can sense his demonic power…..Orochimaru mentioned how he took in some kids and gave them demon blood. He even showed me the corpse of the demon he took the blood from.' Naruto was wary of Orochimaru over anyone else he encountered despite being in the same guild. "And let me guess, you used to work for Orochimaru."
"I am impressed. May I ask how you are privy to this information?" Kimimaro did not expect for Naruto to know this piece of information.
"Orochimaru showed me the demon corpse he took the blood from. Told me all about how he gave a bunch of kids its blood to give them a power up. I don't agree with what he did, but that doesn't mean you can make other people miserable just because you hate him." Naruto thought that Kimimaro had a grudge against Orochimaru, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
(My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission OST-Fight Against the Strong)
"Hahahaha!" Kimimaro gave a small laugh until it became full-blown laughter. "Hate him? I live only for Lord Orochimaru!" Kimimaro was first to move, bringing out curved bones from his palms. "Skull Crosser!" Kimimaro made a crossing motion with his bone blades, aiming to cut Naruto down, only for said person to block it with his weapon.
"You wanna fight? Let's fight!" Naruto outlined the Executioner's Blade with darkness to prevent Kimimaro from destroying it.
'Darkness? That explains how the Executioner's Blade is not shattering in front of me.' Kimimaro did not expect a burst emanate from the sword and send him backwards. Kmimaro was already beginning to change back into his demonic form.
'He's using his demonic power now.' Naruto was not afraid of Kimimaro, in fact he looked excited to fight the demonic-looking opponent. 'I won't lose! I'll have to use that power!' Naruto's body had black marks made from his darkness form around him, except his darkness had a crimson aura to it instead of blue and his eyes became red.
'His power is greater than his comrades.' Kimimaro could see that Naruto was powerful for his age. 'My task was to kill his comrades, not fight him.' Kimimaro summoned curved bones from his left forearm until they merged to create a bone drill.
'Bones should not bend that way!' Naruto swung a darkness-enhanced Executioner's Blade, colliding with Kimimaro's drill. Sparks were formed as both combatants kept up their attack, both their weapons starting to crack. 'Okay, I don't think we both can keep this up.' Naruto then decreased the amount of power he was pouring into the Executioner's Blade, leading o Kimimaro gaining the advantage, but the blonde channelled darkness into his feet to blast himself upwards, gaining momentum and ending their collision by forcing Kimimaro's drill to face the air, disorienting Kimimaro. The Executioner's Blade was spinning up and cut through the bone drill, being released into the air.
(OST End)
'He let go of his sword just to destroy my bones, but I can summon more!' Kimimaro did not expect Naruto to come closer. 'Fool! Getting close to me will out you within my range!' Kimimaro released bones from his body, but Naruto powered through, allowing his left arm and right leg to get pierced. 'He's powering through! And what is that!?' Kimimaro saw that Naruto formed a sphere in his hand. 'This sphere…it's dangerous!'
"This is the spell Gramps taught me…..he called it…Rasengan!" Naruto aimed his Rasengan for Kimimaro's torso, but the Skull Demon was not giving up so easily, as he created skeletal armour but he was still hit by Naruto's spell.
'I-I can't hold out much longer!' Kimimaro's armour broke and he was sent flying back by a vortex caused by the Rasengan. 'I was only a test subject…' Kimimaro realised that he was only sent to test Naruto's abilities. 'At least I was of use to you, Lord Orochimaru.' Kimimaro reverted back to his normal form and was knocked out by Naruto's attack.
'N-Naruto is amazing!' Lee witnessed the battle from the sidelines, nursing his wounds. Lee then saw Naruto's weapon landing in front of him. Naruto know on one knee, breathing a little heavier than usual.
"Lee." Naruto called out to his friend. "Let's find Choji and Shino, then get out of this place." 'He lives for Orochimaru. Something fishy is going on."
(2 Days Later, with Hades and Orochimaru)
"Kimimaro lost? I did not expect the boy to beat Kimimaro of all people." Orochimaru knew Kimimaro was strong and to beat him was no small feat to him. 'Do not worry Kimimaro, you shall have your vengeance soon. As soon as I gain what I need for Subject X.' Orochimaru did not care for Kimimaro, only that Naruto would no longer be a factor.
"Naruto has accessed more of his power, but I fear that he will lose control." Hades had an image of Naruto looking more monstrous.
"Then we better get on with the plan and tie up loose ends. After our meeting of course." Orochimaru walked forward and entered the cave, where people were already waiting for them.
"You are the last one to arrive, Hades." A man with markings on his face and a staff in his hand spoke. This is Brain, the leader of the Oracion Seis and next to him is a sleeping young man codenamed Midnight.
"My apologies, but we were running late." Hades simple stated as he looked at Tartaros' representatives, Mard Geer and Keyes.
"Well, now that you are here, we can begin." Mard Geer spoke in a bored tone, wanting this meeting over with.
(Unknown Location)
'T-They had this monster as a member of their guild.' Shibi was breathing heavily and had near fatal wounds.
"Do you fly?" A tall man with his hair in a ponytail asked his beaten enemies. This included a barely alive Choza Akimichi. The man had defeated them and their whole platoon with ease. This man is Bluenote Stinger, one of Grimoire Heart's strongest members.
"C-Choji…..I'm sorry." Choza regretted allowing his son to become a spy for them, as did Shibi. 'And Naruto I'm sorry…..But I hope you leave Grimoire Heart and find your way.' Choza had a smile on his face.
End. Sorry for the very long delay, but I have been really busy and felt that I wrote myself into a corner.
Now at that point of time, Naruto is usually honest and that's why he revealed the truth that Grimoire Heart is a Dark Guild to Choza and Shibi. Instead of them taking Naruto in to the Magic Council, they used the information to keep tabs on Grimoire Heart, which would have succeeded if not for Ultear's interference as a council member.
Before you ask, Kimimaro will return, and Naruto's Dark Magic has special properties to it. I may also do one more chapter of this story before I write a few chapters for Fairy Tail: Bonds.
