A Pain In My Ass
.
It's been a few weeks since I agreed to help olivia rid the world of demon kind. And in that few weeks I had learned a lot about the Godhand and how to better utilize it. Also in that few weeks I had come to a sudden discovery...
... Olivia is a slave driver!.
She practically made me do everything for her. And to make it all worse, I haven't even encountered a single demon!.
We currently resided in a single rented apartment. Olivia had gone out earlier claiming to go take a look around the village for information.
I just hope she never comes back.
"Gene! Gene!! speak of the devil. Just hearing her call my name is already filling me with pain.
"Gene!" Olivia barge into the room, her eyes frantically searching around the room. They landed on their target seated on the only bed in the room with a magazine in hand and a disgruntled look. She looked excited which was a bad thing for him.
"What is it? Am not doing anymore Manuel labors to earn money" The frown on his face deepened further if possible.
"You don't have to...for now." She added as an afterthought before moving on to the main topic.
"Anyways I have great news" She grabbed a wooden chair, turned it to face Naruto and sat down.
"What?" Naruto watched her with a scrutinizing gaze, preparing for any trick she might pull.
"There seems to be a group of demons operating in a bar nearby". Hearing the words demon his interest was picked. Olivia noticed this and gave a small smile.
"I need you to go take a look"
"FINALLY! some action!" Naruto jumped up to his feet, joy written all over his face. Doing Manuel labors was not his style, fighting is more like it.
His happiness took Olivia by surprise.
Has she really been that bad to him that he was more willing to fight demons than spend even a single minute with her?.
...
The sun shined brightly up in the sky, beating down heatedly on the small town. Naruto walked to a bar in an enclosed part of the village.
Two men stand guard outside the double wooden swing flap doors of the bar. One was a bald fat man while the other was a tall and lean man with tattoos.
The fat man held out his arm, blocking off his advance.
"No entry. Go somewhere else
Naruto tilted his head up a little to look the fat man in the eyes and said. "I just wanted a drink".
"This place is not for your kind".
"Not even a sip"
The bald man's heat turned bright pink at the constant pestering from the human who wouldn't take no for an answer.
"I said... NO ENTRY!" He swing his right palm at him in anger, no longer able to withstand the human's attitude.
Naruto duck underneath the strike and take a few steps backward.
"Woah woah, easy there big guy. All I wanted was a drink" He then continued with a taunting tone. "Can't you even get through you thick empty skull?"
The bald man shook uncontrollably from his suppressed anger resurfacing. Steam rise up from his head as it turned bright red.
Naruto smiled and decided to deliver the finishing blow.
You bald ugly piece of shit. I guess even your mama wouldn't like an airhead like you"
"That's it! Die!"
From his arrival to the bald man exploding from anger, the tall man had not made a move at all, not even batting an eyelid at him. But how could he, the guy was only a human after.
He watched as his partner shot through the air like a cannon, head first. A small grin appeared on his face.
It's over. There's no way the human can dodge that or so he thought until reality gave him a bitch slap to the face.
Naruto smiled at the man flying at him like a rocket. Once the man was within his range, he dodge him completely. The fat man soar harmlessly pass him, crashing into a house a good distance behind him.
His partner stood slacked jaw at what he had just seen.
The area grew quiet until a voice shouted. "Am gonna kill you!" The fat man charged out of the destroyed building, charging at him. Naruto took his fighting stance preparing for a neat fight only for the fat man to stop mid way to catch his breath.
He looked dumbstruck when he saw this. "Seriously?"
"wa..wait a minute*pant*pant* let me catch my breath" The old man put his hands on his knee and sighed.
"Are you done?" Naruto raised a quizzical eyebrow, though the mockery could be seen in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, thanks for waiting, you really are a goo.."The bald man suddenly stopped what he was about to say. His expression morphed a few times before settling on anger.
He glared at him who was giving him a look that scream mockery.
"What the hell am I saying?! Die!"
...
(Inside the bar)
Seven people Currently inhabited the bar and one of them was the old bar man shivering behind the counter.
"Hey old man?"
"Eck"
The one of the thugs called out to him, freaking him out. He hurried over to answer him while shivering in fear. The one who called him was the leader of the ground. He is much stronger and bigger than the rest, garbed in black tight leader with a blue spiky mohawk on his head.
Unlike the group scattered around the bar, he sat down in front of the counter.
He grinned toothily at the him and asked. "Why so shaky? All I wanted was a drink"
"Ri...right away sir" He was about to leave to carry out the order but he was stopped by a raised palm.
The leader looked thoughtful for a while before saying. "Or on second thoughts. I'll take your life"
"Eck"
Boom.
A figure crashed into the counter beside the boss, shattering it and kicking up dust.
When the dust settled down, the boss was shocked by what he saw. "What the hell?!"
A fat bald man laid in the destroyed counter unconscious, his body turning to dust.
"Get me the person responsible for this!"
"Right away boss!"
The goons rushed out of the bar to go beat up the unlucky bastard leaving the boss and the Bar man as the sole inhabitants. The bar man quickly ran to the far end of the bar to hide.
Not long after the goons left the bar another explosion sounded outside.
Boom.
"what the hell is it this time?"he boss scurried to his feet and rushed out of the bar.
What he saw when he reached outside was the dead body of his men scattered around the yellow ground. A blonde haired man stood over their dead body as they slowly turn to dust.
"Who the hell are you?!"
...
Naruto had just defeated the two bodyguards who had been hindering his way when another group of demons charged out of the bar.
They were all packed together so it made them a great target for one of his crowd control techniques. His Godhand gave off a light glow as he took a baseball pitch stance. The light around the Godhand brightened, and a dark object appeared in his right hand. He swing his right arm forward, pitching it towards them and shouted out the techniques name.
"Wild pitch!" A purple object the size of a baseball shot at them faster than they could react. It exploded in their midst killing all of them in a single attack.
Naruto stared dumbly at the power behind the attack.
"That was stronger than I imagined"
"Who the hell are you?!"
A voice cut him out of his thoughts. He turned to the entrance of the bar where a tall man in leather and a blue gravity mohawk stood.
"What with the 90s getup. You have a bad sense of fashion bud".
The demon frowned at the man with a death wish and asked. "Who the hell are you?"
"Me?" He pointed at himself, smiled tauntingly and said. "Am the guy who's gonna beat your ass, you sorry excuse of a hooligan"
The demon growled "You are courting death, human".
"Then give it to me"
"DIE!" The thug leader smashed it at his head. Naruto dodged the bottle and lashed out with a mean right hook. The demon went flying from the impacted of the fist and smashed into the side of the bar. The impact sent up debris and dust, leaving an imprint of a body In the wall.
"Hey yo spike, hope you ain't done? cause am just getting started".
"What the hell was that?" The demon walked out of the imprint in the wall with light wound all over his body and confusion written all over his face.
"How can a puny human like you be this strong?"
Naruto smiled Tauntingly, pointed a finger to head and said. "Maybe if you ate all your veggies, you'd know the answer to that question".
The demon growled at the human Taunt. "Just hearing your voice makes me wanna kill you."
"DIE!" He grabbed his spike hair and threw it at Naruto, which turn into the form of a sharp blade of blue energy.
"What the?" Naruto went wide eyes at the unbelievable scene. The move caught me by surprise. He barely moved out of the way in the nick of time. The spike split a hole in the wall in the distance.
Naruto looked back at the punk onlystare dazedly at the spike that had magically reappeared on his head.
'What the fuck?!'
"How did you do that?"
Seeing the confusion written all over his face, the demon scoffed, grin arrogantly and said. "You are lucky to have dodged that human. The next one will surely be your last"
He raised his hands and prepared to perform the move again. Naruto saw this and smiled.
"You are not the only one with a cool move" His right arm gave off a golden glow and he took a stance. The demon watched this with a shocked expression. 'Since when do the humans have glowing hands'.
"PREPARE YOURSELF! DIVINE...SMASH!" Faster than the demon eyes could follow, his body flashed forward leaving behind afterimages. He crashed shoulder first into the demon's chest shattering his rib cage. The demon spit out a glob of blood before shooting back like a rocket. He crashed into the bar and created a huge whole on the other side before skidding to a stop in the hot desert sand.
His eyes gaze over and his chest stopped moving after his heart came to a stop. Every bone in his body was shattered and his body slowly turn to dust. He wasn't even given anytime to analyze what had happened as he had died before he even realized it.
Naruto gaze dumbly upon the destruction left behind by the technique he had just performed. His mouth hung loosely as he couldn't even believe his eyes.
"Holy shit! Olivia said the Godhand was powerful, but I didn't know it was this powerful. This really is the real deal". Deciding to leave his thoughts for later, he walked into the bar to check if there was any demon left but all he found was the bar man quivering in a counter at the back of the counter. There was a large hole a few centimeters away from him, it's seemed that the demon had passed by his side during his short flight.
"Hey you alright, old man" Naruto turned around only to get send flying by a punch. He smashed anpther hole beside the first hole left behind by the demon before sliding to a stop a mile away from the bar with a groan.
"huuh...what the hell hit me?" he raised his head to see a demon with pitch black skin standing at the hole he had just created. The demon has a single eye in it mouth, pointed ears. From it's nose up was empty except for the blue flame burning on its head. (find the name)
"Grrr"
"Well fuck me, the demon actually had a second form"
He did a Chinese get up(Google the real name) and got into his fighting stance.
"Come"
The demon appeared at his right and attacked him with a claw slash, he moved out of the way and retaliated with a mean right jab. The demon disappeared and reappeared a distance away from him then threw a blue fireball the size of a basketball at him. He dodged the fireball by sidestepping it but that allowed the demon to appear and attack his blind spot.
Time seem to slow down as a golden glow wrapped around his body. A mini explosion took place and demon was sent flying backwards from the resulting shockwave.
A golden glow enveloped the Godhand with ancient symbols written all over his arm glowing with a golden light. The deisiac brace was nowhere to be seen. Naruto raised the Godhand to observe the symbols written on it. This was the released form of the Godhand. The form that grants the user the ability to wield the power of a god.
He faced the demon that had just gotten back to it feet and grinned. The mini explosion caused by the Godhand's release had stunned the demon. Naruto up to the demon, but to the eyes of anyone watching it looked more like he ran.
He reached the demon, stopped at half an arm's reach, and took a stance. He lashed out a punch, then two, then three until It turned into a full blow pummeling. The sounds of flesh hitting flesh resounded in the surrounding. By the end of it, the demon barely looked alive and by the time the last punch landed it turned into black dust.
Seeing this, Naruto scoffed "Well that was easy" He raised his arm and the Golden light dispersed around the Godhand, revealing the deisaic brace that had magically reappeared around the arm.
"This thing is still really damn powerful"
He walked back into the bar to see the old man shivering in the corner of the bar.
"You okay?" The bar man was startled by the new voice thinking the demons had returned, but when he saw the new face he calmed down.
"Wh...where are the demons?"
"I got rid of them. Those guys won't be troubling you anytime soon" The bar man's expression jumped in surprise when he first had this word before they turned glad then grateful.
"Thank you"
"Don't mention it" He smiled. 'You've probably had it rough at the hands of those demons'.
Naruto held his chin and thought for a few seconds before asking. "Are there anymore of this demons around here? or in town?"
"There are the only demons around here, but I don't know if they are the only ones town". The bar man answered after thinking about it.
"Ok".
He turned on his heel to leave the bar when the bar man suddenly reached out to him.
"Wait!"
The old man threw a pouch at him which he caught making a clanking sound. He opened the pouch to check inside when he saw a few dozen pieces of silver. He turned to look at the old man only to see him with his head bowed.
"Thank you for saving me"
"Don't mention it" How was written all over Naruto's face as he turned and walked out of the bar.
"See you around old man"
...
It was late at night and naruto had yet to return from the fight with the demons so Olivia was worried. She paced around the room thinking about what could have happened. Since they had been traveling together this was the first time he had stayed out late, so she was getting more worried by the moment. She occasionally glanced at the clock from time to time.
Had something gone wrong? was I bad teacher and failed to teach him how to utilize the Godhand's power? Or were the demons more powerful? After all it was his first time fighting demons.
Did he die?.
She could barely think straight. The feeling of loneliness that she thought she had forgotten was starting to resurface. She'd glance out the window from time to time maybe she might get a glimpse of him.
Her heart beat quickened as she thought of the worst.
She would have gone out to look for him but it's dangerous to walk at night. She continued to Pace around the room until her body couldn't keep up with the constant worry and she eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.
...
It was the the dead of night when Naruto returned back into the apartment building. He walked stealthily into the room and gently closed the door behind him. He walked into the room and saw Olivia sound asleep on the bed. She was curled up like a ball so he covered her with a blanket before situating himself on the wooden chair.
After he had left the bar with the pouch he immediately walked over to the nearest fighting ring and registered for a fight. He had been so engrossed in the fights that he had failed to take notice of the time, and when he did it was already late into the night. She must have been worried about him. After all this was the first time he had everyone back late.
"Goodnight"
Not long after he fell asleep a soft voice replied him.
"Goodnight".
...
When he woke up the next morning Olivia was already out but he wasn't worried as this wouldn't be the first time, so he went about his daily basis and washed up. When he walked out of the bathroom he saw Olivia seated on the wooden chair with two bowls of rice and chicken laid out of the table with two glass of water.
"Good morning" She greeted him which he returned. She didn't bother asking him why he was late last night as she had a rumor when in town about a man with a golden right arm. So she assumed that he was late because the demons gave him a hard time.
She had been worried sick last night, and her had been a mess, but seeing how healthy he is now, she felt relieved.
Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground and Olivia passed him his bowl.
"So what did you find out?" They had already agreed before that it was Olivia's job to gather intelligence, that's why he wasn't bothered by her absence when he first woke up.
"hmm" Olivia ate a spoon full of rice, take a sip of water before answering. "I unheard some men in a local bar talking about few civilians disappearing at a graveyard nearby. They believe it to be hunted by ghost, so the graveyard was locked down."
"Sounds like scary bed night story"
Olivia smiled sweetly when she heard this "Well it doesn't matter, cause you're gonna be paying the graveyard a visit"
Naruto choked on his food when he heard that. He quickly downed a glass of water to clear his throat. "Say what now?"
"From what we know it could be related to the demons"
"Well today seems to be my lucky day, I get to relieve some stress by fight demon". He gulped down his food, grin and stood up.
He stopped at the door, pull out a small pouch from his jean pocket and tossed it at Olivia. She nearly spilled her food from trying to catch the small pouch.
She was going to question him about the pouch when it made a slight clanking noise.
He grab the door handle and said with his back to her. "The old man from the bar gave me that as thanks".
Her eyes widened in surprise when she heard that.
"And what about you?"
He pulled out a slightly bigger pouch from his cloak and held it out for her to see.
"I got this from the fight club last night"
She crossed her arms over her bust and pouted.
"That's unfair"
"Is that so?" Naruto turned around to grin smugly at her after keeping the pouch back.
She grabbed the small axe on the small table and threw it at him.
"Give it here!"
"No way" He duck out of the way, opened the door and dashed out of the room. The axe hit the door and stick to it.
"See you later. hahahaha"
Olivia listen to his voice fade before finally relaxing.
"So that went to the fight club last night." She resumed eating her meal with a small smile on her face.
"He had me worried for nothing".
...
Naruto walked into the graveyard only to see a group of things digging up a grave. They look hard at work as if they were trying to contribute to the society. It's been a few minutes and they had still failed noticed him, so he decided to teach out to them instead.
"Hey!" They all turned around when they heard a voice behind them.
"It's kinda rude to ignore someone"
"Who the hell are you?"
Naruto smiled mockingly when he heard this and said. "Am just a regular guy who was asked to clean up a couple of trash. Isn't it too early to be digging up graves?"
"What does that have to do with you? human"
"It has everything to do with me, exactly because am human"
The tallest one among them scoffed arrogantly and said "It's just a human. get rid of with"
"With pleasure"
"You are dead! you hear me!
They charged at him with the shovels in their hand but all he did was smile smugly. He raise his right arm and tap his right bicep with his left hand, which seemed to infuriate them more.
"You are dead now!"
"Kill him"
.
.
"Bring it"
...
The End
Authors note:
I might have lied when I said that there was no character development, sorry. Well at least we get to see some of the Godhand's power.
There wasn't much fight scenes though cause I still have to do some simple introductions and stuff that the Godhand Gam chose to ignore just to give you guys a game with a fist full of love.
Don't blame the game, blame the developers. Tomb raider is the same, they give traumatic scenes to the MC only to eventually sweep it underneath the carpet. Though the game was peak quality.
Well the next chapter will introduce some new characters and plot twist, be on the look out for that.
until next time
ja ne.

(secret ending)
Olivia laid down lazily on the bed. It was almost noon and she was bored. She thought of what to do when her eyes lit up in realization. She reached out under the bed and pull out a small box from underneath the bed. She giggled as she unbox it to reveal a perfectly neat stack of photos.
She went through the pictures one after the other after taking a long look while giggling girlishly.
Every picture was that of gene taken from a different angle and pose. The crazy thing was that they were all unaware meaning that he didn't even know about it and she planned to keep it that way. Inside that same box was a small portable camera with the words Gene's sexy camera tape to the side. The box itself had the words 'Gene's Sexy Paradise' taped to it.
Olivia sighed with a contented look on her face. She turned to the next page and immediately turned bright red. She screamed (find the word for when a lady screams) excitedly, throwing herself on the bed.
"I need to get more pictures of Gene like this"
She took another look at the half naked picture of gene with only a small towel around his waist. The same one that she had repainted and sold for money.
"I hope he comes back on time. I still need more shots to sell to the gene fan club"
