Chapter 4

The next morning, with Naruto

Naruto sighed as he wondered the forest. He left Kanna and Wendy to go explore the forest while he decided to take a look around. Mainly to see if he could get some training in with any monster that's getting too close to the village. That or any moron that can't properly prepare themselves for the dangers of the forest. So with that, Naruto walked down the forest with his hands in his pockets.

He was travelling pretty far and he didn't have his own assigned Tempest Wolf. Sure Ranga was very loyal to him, but he was Wendy's familiar and thus he was assigned to hide in her shadow until called upon. Naruto decided to travel on his own since he at least had his Boarbatusk form he gained from eating that meal Circe gave him. Although originally meant to turn him into a pig, it made him into a mutant warthog with more fighting capability than a normal pig.

"Maybe I can travel in that form." Naruto said to himself before confirming the skill. "Transform: Boarbatusk." he said as he transformed into the armored warthog and ran aimlessly at one direction.

About a half hour later

Naruto transformed back to normal, "That's enough, I wonder if there's anything…" he stopped midsentence. Naruto's eyes widened as his Spider Sense went haywire, "What the heck is that?" he asked.

"Answer: There is a large fire and signs of hostility within the area." Great Sage answered.

"What!? Great Sage, can you point me where? Someone could need my help!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran the moment Great Sage started to guide him.

A few minutes later

A blue haired little girl ran out of her home in fright. When she looked around for her family, she was instead greeted with the sight of sheer terror. Her home village was being burned to the ground and she could hear the sounds of screaming in the distance. The child tried to call out to her parents to no avail with no one being able to hear her except for a cloaked figure.

"Looks like one of them survived." said the man in a sadistic tone.

"Stay away from me!" the girl yelled.

Just as the man was about to bring down his knife and kill the little girl. A similar looking little girl with pink hair arrived and killed the man with wind magic by slicing his throat.

"Ram!" the blue haired girl called out.

"Rem, we need to get out! People are attacking the village!" Ram told her sister before suddenly another man got the drop on them.

Ram attempted to push the aggressor away. Only for it to be too late as the attacker cut off the horn on her forehead and knocked her down. Rem cradled her sister's body as she fell. Before giving into despair as the crazed man was about to kill both her and her sister.

"Say goodbye demon!" the attacker said.

*SQUELCH*

The attacker let out a loud gasp as he saw a crimson tendril go through his stomach. He started to hyperventilate as the tendril lifted him from the ground. Before he realized it, his whole body was repeatedly stabbed by more tendrils before he was consumed by the crimson mass.

"I'm sorry you had to see that." said a solemn voice.

"Who's there?" Rem asked nervously.

Naruto revealed himself in his partially transformed body, "I'm Naruto, are you two okay?" he asked as his arms went back to normal.

"My parents and everyone else! They're under attack!" Rem said before the fires started to spread.

Naruto's spider senses kicked in as he saw more hooded men, "You bastards! How could you attack a random village!?" he snarled.

"We do it in service to the witches alliance." one said gleefully.

"Summon the greater demon. We can finish the heathen and the rest of them off." another said before a magic circle appeared in the middle of the group.

The whole village started to shake as Rem held Ram tightly in her arms. Naruto applied chakra to his feet to keep his balance as he felt these cult like people summoned something big. Before the three realized it, a gigantic ferocious creature with the appearance of a dinosaur appeared. The creature let out a loud snarl, that alone made everyone almost collapse from the killing intent the creature flared. Naruto started to sweat as he never felt this afraid since Gaara transformed into the Ichibi during the chunin exams.

'And back then, I had boss toad to help me out.' Naruto thought fearfully.

"Get them! For the glory of…!"

*CHOMP*

The beast lifted up one of the witch followers and started chewing on his body before fully devouring him.

"You stupid beast! We are your masters and we command you to…!" the man was silenced as the beast ate all of them one by one.

Before eventually making it's way past the fires and killing everything that stood in it's way. As it could not find any satisfaction without devouring everything in sight and leaving a trail of destruction in it's wake. Naruto knew this was the best time to run. It was pathetic, but was the point? What good would it do to barely slow down a giant monster that can casually annihilated anything in it's vision? Especially with how little experience Naruto has in fighting large demonic creatures.

The only thing he fought remotely close to that thing's level was Baskerville. Yet he only beat it by surprising it with killing intent and devouring it when it's guard was down. That was a giant dragon like creature and it was more ready to spread the fear than to feel fear itself.

*SNIFFLE*

Yet it was the teary eyes of Rem that Naruto saw that made him stay. He knew the little girl wanted to see her family and neighbors again. To return to the life she had before these twisted maniacs attacked her home and summoned that demon. Naruto gritted his teeth and currled his fists before running into the fire.

"Go hide somewhere! I'll stop the monster!" Naruto shouted as Rem nodded and slowly carried Ram away from the destruction.

Inside the village

Naruto groaned, "I wasn't cut out for this. Sure the shinobi life was as scary as Zabuza said, but I don't think he mentioned anything about monsters." he said before hearing the monster's roar.

Naruto shivered as he could feel it stomps. A single step by that thing and it felt like an earthquake had the entire forest. This was probably the most terrifying thing, whether or not Shukaku is stronger than this thing. Naruto was sure he would be ripped apart unless he came up with some brand new game plan.

"RAAAWWWR!" The beast screamed.

Naruto groaned, "I guess if there's someone that has to do something crazy. It's always me." he said before summoning four shadow clones to his side.

Naruto signaled for one of the clones to get into visual range of the beast. While the real Naruto and the rest of the clones took their positions to attack the beast. At this point, Naruto was glad he at least obtained skills from fighting those monsters in the recent past. It was kind of funny though, while Sasuke could copy jutsus with his dojutsu. Naruto actually had to get into fights with dangerous creatures with Wendy and practice them.

With that in mind, Naruto gained some more confidence in fighting this creature.

"Hey ugly!" the clone yelled. The beast snarled as it turned to face the clone, "You so ugly you made an onion cry!" he said.

Naruto silently chuckled, 'I gotta thank Great Sage for the quips skill.' he thought.

The beast snarled, "You so dumb, I heard you went to a store to return a puzzle because it was broken!" the clone added.

"Boss this is not helping." another clone whispered.

"Fine, just hit once that dinosaur or whatever it is attacks." Naruto told it.

The clones nodded as the main clone said another insult, "You're so fat, when everyone looks up they say, "that's no moon, that you." Haha!" he said before screaming as the beast chewed him up.

"NOW!" Naruto shouted as every clone tapped into a skill.

"Fireball!"

"Water Whip!"

"Black Lightning!"

"Rasengan!"

The beast howled in pain before slapping everyone away with it's tail. Naruto grunted in pain before being grabbed by the beast's jaws. Naruto turned his hands into axes before proceeding to stab the beast on the snout. Though it only made the creature snarl loudly before dragging him closer into it's mouth.

"Why eat me? Does it serve you any purpose!?" Naruto asked angrily as he kept stabbing the creature.

"RAWR!" the creature roared.

"Crap, Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto called out as more clones appeared. "Hold this thing down!" he ordered.

"Got it boss!" the clones yelled as they transformed into Symbiotes.

The symbiote clones proceeded to wrap the beast in black webbing. As the beast struggled to break free, the clones pulled down on the webs to get a better hold of it. Although this was only a temporary solution as the beast broke free of the webs and clawed at the clones. Naruto groaned as he was running out of ideas and feels nothing but sheer pain.

'I can't die like this. Why did I do this? Why do I always try to be the good guy?' Naruto wondered as he tried clawing at the monster.

Naruto started to feel fatigue over the pain as he slowly slid into the monster's mouth. With the last bit of effort, he tried to extend his symbiote form as to keep himself from being eaten. One trick he tried was using both hands to be manipulated into lifting the beast's mouth open like an floor jack lifting up a car. Although this only slowed down the beast by a moment, Naruto tried to get some help.

"Summoning: Baskerville!" Naruto called out as his canine partner appeared from the side of his face.

Despite the sheer size of it's opponent, Baskerville snarled as bit down on the beast's snout. Making it roar in pain as Naruto managed to slip out in time. Unfortunately it appeared that Baskerville wouldn't last so long as he was being kicked around by the bigger beast. Naruto growled back as he grew attached to Baskerville despite the fact that the demonic canine was literally nightmare fuel incarnate. So with another war cry, Naruto created an army of Shadow Clones to attack the beast again.

"Rasengan Barrage!" Naruto shouted as all his clones collided onto the beast. Baskerville let out a bark, "Come on buddy, I'm probably some bipolar crazy idiot. But I can't handle seeing little girls or puppies cry." he said as the dog barked again and bit down on the beast's neck.

The beast eventually stood up and shook Baskerville away before using it's tail to destroy the clones. However that didn't stop Naruto from landing one last attack over it's head.

"I'm gonna get hurt from this, but… Black Lightning Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he combined one of his skills with his jutsu.

Creating a very strong but unstable technique that crashed down onto the beast's head. The beast crashed back onto the ground and with more effort. Naruto used a lot of webbing to tie down the beast again. Seeing what his master was doing, Baskerville helped keep it down to the best of his ability until Naruto entered his slime like form to cover the large creature.

"This is the end! Carnivore!" Naruto yelled out as his entire body covered the beast as it roared.

However, Naruto fell back as he could feel it resisting. Naruto once against struggled with the beast as Baskerville was lifted up by the beast's jaw and slowly being chewed on. With Naruto himself being forced to recall his familiar as to keep him safe.

'Damn! What can I do!? This thing can take so many hits and get back like they're nothing!' Naruto thought as he tried putting more energy to devouring the beast again.

When suddenly his head started throbbing. Giving him a migraine of unimaginable pain that he could not endure.

(Overlord OST - Arrival of the Undead King)

"Foolish child, a mongrel is a mongrel regardless of it's size and ferocity. Do you lack the motivation to defeat it? Or are you just pathetic?" asked a powerful voice in Naruto's mind.

'My head hurts! What is this!?' Naruto wondered as he almost fell off of the beast when Great Sage spoke.

"Suggestion: With a 18% chance of success. You could attempt to capture the beast with Poacher." Great Sage suggested.

'How am I going to do that when it won't let me eat him?' Naruto asked back as he tried wrapping his body around the beast's throat.

"Answer: Capturing the beast may be easier as it would be disoriented and contained now that it has taken damage. Although it would require more effort on your part as the damage is insufficient." Great Sage explained as Naruto sighed.

"Fine! Poacher!" Naruto yelled as his body started surrounding the roaring beast again.

As the beast raged on and even started throwing itself around to prevent it's capture. Naruto let out another war cry as he used every bit of energy to hold it down.

"GRAHHHHH!" Naruto screams as he struggles to contain the beast.

"RAWR!" The beast screams back as it's fully contained by Naruto's symbiote body.

"I will beat you! No one will ever summon you to hurt people ever again!" Naruto shouted as the fires around the village surrounded the two. Eventually, the beast gave in as Naruto trapped him, "I did it! I am Naruto Uzumaki! Co-Ruler of Tempest! Destroyer of evil!" he shouted before shrinking back down and hitting the ground.

Naruto groaned as he felt exhausted trying to fight that monster. Before noticing the wildfires were getting out of control.

"Great Sage, by chance can you detect anyone still alive in the fire?" Naruto asked nervously.

"Answer: Only the two Oni you left to pursue your new familiar, Gomorrah. No other threats or friendly inidividuals detected." Great Sage answered.

Naruto sighed, "I better get those girls out of here. Just help me find them for now." he said as he looked for a way around the fire. "Maybe find a stream of water to help put this out." he added.

A few minutes later

Rem was silently crying as she hid somewhere in the woods while cradling her injured sister. The blue haired oni was terrified of those strange men in hoods and was in fear of the lives of her parents and fellow villagers. So when Naruto went after the beast, she made it her personal mission to hide and keep Ram safe until the danger was gone.

"Hey little miss." said a voice.

"AHH!" Rem screamed in fear.

"Hey calm down! It's me!" Naruto said revealing himself. "Don't worry, the monster is gone. But… I can't say the opposite for everyone else." Naruto said as tears swelled up in Rem's eyes.

Before he realized it, Rem started to weep from hearing the bad news. Naruto kneeled down and embraced the two girls. Just letting Rem cry her heart out at the loss of her family and home. While at the same time Naruto made sure Ram didn't fall onto the ground.

"I'm sorry." Was all Naruto could say to the young girl.

About an hour later

Rem was sniffling as she cleared her eyes, "It's okay if you still want to cry Rem." Naruto said.

Rem shook her head, "No it's fine mister, I think I cried enough, but it still hurts." she said.

Naruto gave Rem's hand a light squeeze, "I know it's going to always hurt Rem, but you still have your sister Rem here." he said as he carried the unconscious Rem in his other arm. "So you won't be totally alone, but I don't want you to think of Tempest as a replacement of your old home. Just think of it as something new to try. I wouldn't feel two good if I left the two of you alone." he said with a bright smile.

Rem smiled back as she grabbed Naruto's hand with her two arms, "What's your village like Naruto?" she asked.

Naruto pondered on it, "Well we have good people, fun people, crazy people and then there's Circe. She makes good food but don't always trust her. She might turn you into a pig." he said earning a surprised look. He then whispered into Rem's ear, "Tell me if she tries anything. Circe knows who's boss." he said making Rem giggle.

"Is there anyone Ram and I can be friends with?" Rem asked.

Naruto chuckled, "There's definitely Wendy and this girl named Kanna decided to join us." he said making Rem feel optimistic.

Later that night

Wendy looked worried, "When is big brother coming back?" she asked.

Rigurd sighed, "I don't know, it's not like him to just wander off this long." he said also sounding worried.

Carla crossed her arms, "He's being foolish, we should send someone to look for him before he runs into trouble.

After a few more minutes, Naruto appeared while carrying both Rem and Ram in his arms. Everyone was about to call out for him when he gestured for them to be silent as both girls were still at rest. Which did earn a lot curiosity from everyone that was waiting for him.

"What happened?" Wendy whispered as she noticed the girls.

Naruto sighed, "I think we need an emergency meeting." he said.

At the meeting

After placing the twins in a warm bed under some supervision. Naruto sat at the end of a table in a makeshift meeting room. Where he descibred the massacre of the Rem and Ram's home.

"I was late when I got there. I was just minding my own business exploring when Great Sage warned me about a nearby danger. So I found these hooded guys trying to kill Rem and her sister until I stopped them." Naruto said shocking the group. "They weren't that tough, but then they summoned this big dinosaur thing called Gomorrah. I barely managed to trap it way after it attacked those cult looking guys." he explained.

Rigurd closed his eyes and crossed his arms, "This is concerning. Now that Veldora's presence is gone, that probably leaves all sorts of creatures trying to fight for dominance. Maybe even the humans too." he said.

Wendy frowned as she heard Great Sage tell her something similar. With Veldora gone, all sorts of monsters are fighting. Only giving her a reason to work on building up the village to be bigger and ready for the worst case scenarios.

"I think we need to start training and building up our force. I don't want to sound like a crazy war guy, but I'm saying a bunch of crazy guys summoning something that beat the crap out of Baskerville isn't a joke." Naruto said as the others agreed.

Queen Shagotte spoke up next, "I agree, now that my people see how frail we really are. This will only encourage everyone to step up." she said. "Panther Lily is also one of our best. I'm sure we can convince him and the other guards to lead the way." She added.

"Good, because honestly, I swear I could have been killed by Gomorrah's roars." Naruto said making some of them feel nervous.

"But you beat it right big brother? You can even teach Gomorrah to be friendly like Baskerville!" Wendy said optimistically.

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I still had enough strength in the end to beat it. Although it took a real beating and Great Sage's guidance to keep it down." he said.

"Then it's settled. We train first and investigate later!" Wendy exclaimed.

"This meeting is adjourned then." Rigurd said as everyone got up and left.

"Hey Wendy, do you mind helping me welcome Rem and Ram?" Naruto asked as Wendy nodded happily.

The next day

Rem and Ram gazed at Naruto curiously. Rem felt some admiration for her savior while Ram was very distrustful of Naruto. The latter feeling so as she was unconscious until late last night when she woke up in a room with Rem. Ram is a very intelligent girl, probably having been very intelligent since birth as it was obvious that things didn't sound right for her. For a stranger to come out of nowhere to defeat the people who destroyed her home and Rem was pretty naive and innocent.

So Ram naturally felt protective of her sister and distrustful of others. Especially now that she lost her horn, the source of most of her amazing power.

"What are you doing Mr. Naruto?" Rem asked.

"Well first, just call me Naruto. Second, I'm working on a trap." Naruto said as he had a bunch of tools and other junk put together.

"For the cloaked men?" Rem asked.

"That and maybe a sea bear." Naruto said making the blue haired child giggle.

"And how long are we supposed to stay here?" Ram suddenly asked in a serious voice.

"Ram!" Rem said with a surprised face.

"We can't stay here Rem. You know that very well." Ram said in a condescending tone. Before looking at Naruto again, "Well?" she asked.

Naruto sighed, "Well if what Rem says is true. I wouldn't recommend leaving at all. With your horn gone, your power is gone with it too unless you train. There's a lot of dangerous creatures out there and you're lucky most of them are weaker than Gomorrah." he explained.

Only Ram glared harder, "You may be right, but don't think you can keep us here." she said.

Naruto sweat dropped at the hostility, "I'm not! Geez, learn to relax a bit. You're not the only one to wake up homeless and missing your parents." he said briefly surprising Ram while Rem also felt bad. "Anyways, you should stick together and only approach the adults like Rigurd if you still feel nervous about the town. There's also Wendy since she's helped me set this village up." he said before moving onto another part of the emergency traps.

As Naruto moved farther away, Rem and Ram silently conversed. As a way to talk about their current living adjustment as their home is gone.

"I still don't trust him Rem." Ram told her sister.

"Sister Ram, I understand how you feel, but you weren't conscious to witness what happened." Rem said.

"Well I apologize if I find it hard to believe Rem. You are the more sensitive as well as naive." Ram said as she was honest with Rem.

Rem knew her sister didn't mean to demean her, "Ram I also understand your rationality, however I believe you are too deep in denial." she said also being honest.

For the first time, the sisters were at odds with each other. However, before this discussion could continue. They were all caught off guard by the sounds of screaming in the nearby forest. Suddenly the two girls clasped hands with each other as if to show fear. If Naruto saw this, he would likely be distracted by how adorable they looked despite the potential dangers nearby.

"What was that?" Rem asked.

"No doubt something dangerous heading here." Ram said as she saw Naruto drop everything to run towards the forest.

"You two stay there! I'm going to check it out!" Naruto yelled as he ran towards the forest.

In forest

"How to we end up in these situations!" Yelled a female named Erin.

"Blame Kaval! He's the one that stabbed giant ant nests!" one of the males, Gido, exclaimed.

"Just shut up and keep running! Also, show your leader some respect, damn it!" Kaval yelled as he referred to himself as the party's leader.

From what can be understood, this party of four adventurers were travelling through the forest when Kaval stabbed a giant ant nest. Now these four were running for their lives as a group of giant red ants were chasing after them. Unless the giant insects found an interest in daily exercises, they were most likely angry at the group for attacking their home.

"You lost my respect! If I die, I'm going to haunt you!" Eren yelled.

Kaval laughed like a maniac, "HAHAHA! THAT WON'T BE POSSIBLE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE DEAD WITH YOU!" he yelled as the ants got closer.

Meanwhile their fourth member, a masked woman named Shizu, was having second thoughts about requesting to join this group. However that wasn't something she would have to focus on as it was her time to kill the ants. Shizu stopped in place and drew her sword which emitted a powerful flame.

"Shizu what are you doing!?" Kaval asked very frantically.

Shizu remained silent as she raised her sword and aimed the blunt end at the ants. Before a powerful gust of flames incinerated the first wave of ants. With the damage done, the next wave ran at Shizu, lacking any fear of death. Good for them, as Shizu revealed even more greater skills by jumping high into the air. Expertly using her sword techniques, Shizu land quick cuts upon each ant with a small trail of flames following every cut she left.

While small and seemingly meaningless, Shizu's strikes invoked large explosions. With each one going off every time Shizu landed a blow to the ant following the previous ones. Eren and the rest of her party watched in awe at the amazing skills of Shizu. Some of them watching with envy as they assumed the masked adventurer to be some amateur. Instead, they felt like amateurs seeing Shizu defeat each ant.

Except for one.

As Shizu stabbed one ant in the head, she turned to face another ant who remained fearless. Just as Shizu prepared to cut down this one, she grunted as she felt her whole body feel as if it were in mortal pain.

"Someone do something!" Eren yelled out.

When suddenly, the ant itself was destroyed in a brilliant blaze of black lightning.

"Was that magic?" Gido asked.

"It looked like Black Lightning." Kaval said as Eren ran to Shizu's side.

"Hey are you okay?" Eren asked as Shizu grunted before realizing her mask fell off.

"Big brother Naruto was right. I should practice that magic some more." Wendy said as she revealed herself in slime form.

"A slime? I never seen one talk before." Gido said with a surprised face.

Wendy looked around before noticing a mask was on her face. She looked at Shizu before approaching her with the mask.

"Here you go miss, I think this is yours." Wendy said as she handed over the mask.

Shizu smiled as she accepted it back, "Thank you." she said gratefully.

Wendy reverted to her human form, "You're welcome!" she chirped.

Shizu crawled back in surprise, "You're human?" she asked.

Wendy giggled, "I became a slime but I don't know how. Although if you think I'm weird, I was raised by Grandeeney, a Sky Dragon." she answered making Shizu and Eren giggle.

"Hey kid, what are you doing out here alone?" Gido asked.

Wendy looked at him curiously, "I'm not alone, my home is nearby and big brother would run to my side if anything happened." she said.

"So where is your big brother?" Eren asked before something landed near them.

"There he is!" Wendy said pointing at the individual.

Only it was Naruto and he was full symbiote. To be specific, he was in the form where his body became more muscular, his sharpened teeth and long tongue sticking out and his hands were in the shape of axes and spears. He even let out a wild roar that would intimidate most wild animals.

"Who's causing trouble!? I'll chop you all up real good and add you to the stew!" Naruto yelled in his darkened voice.

"AHHHHH!" Everyone minus Wendy screamed in terror.

"Big brother you're doing it again." Wendy said as Naruto noticed that he terrified a bunch of strangers.

Naruto groaned, "Oops, my bad." he said. When he decided to reveal his real face under the mouth, "Hey guys, sorry about the scare." he said making Eren pass out from fear.

"You made it worse." Wendy said making her adoptive brother groan again.

"Is not a bad time to present Baskerville?" Naruto asked.

A while later

Naruto hanged his head in shame, "I'm a bad person. I've come to this island and only done bad things." he said as Rigurd patted his back. "I'm an alcoholic, I have anger issues and now I put some poor girl in a coma. The only thing I did right was raise Wendy." he said as he cried anime tears.

"At least you admitted your mistakes." Rigurd said hoping to make his leader feel better.

"Oh hush! That girl is fine. If anything, she and the rest of her troupe were merely starving." Carla said with crossed arms.

"I still knocked someone out." Naruto said sadly.

"That part is correct, so at least you're learning." Carla said dismissively.

Then Naruto realized something, "Carla, by chance do you know who made that food?" he asked with a fearful expression.

Inside

Circe smiled as she set down the plates with the help of Rem and Ram, "Thank you girls. You're so helpful in the kitchen. Especially you Rem." she said.

Rem blushed, "Thank you miss Circe, but Ram did all the work." she said trying to be modest.

"No you helped a lot, literally." Circe said giving Ram a brief glance.

"Enjoy your meals." Ram said ignoring Circe.

"Thank you!" Eren, Gido and Kaval said.

Circe looked around for a moment, "Weren't there four of you?" she asked.

Ram answered for them, "I believe the one named Shizu said…"

"Circe if anyone turned into pigs! I'm going to add someone to the stew!" Naruto shouted as he ran inside the tent in full symbiote form again while waving his axe hand around.

"AHHHHH!" the party screamed again before they started choking.

"I did no such thing! Not this time at least." Circe said while blushing at the last part.

Naruto sweat dropped as he realized what he did, "I am a terrible host." he said.

"I'm impressed, you just pointed out your own flaw and realized it." Ram said bluntly.

"Ram!" Rem said.

Naruto groaned as he turned human again, "I need an intervention." he said before noticing Kaval turn into a pig.

"What the hell is this!?" Kaval asked.

Naruto glared at Circe who gave a nervous smile. She then paled as Naruto cracked his knuckles and quickly lifted her over his shoulders.

"No! I don't want to be punished again!" Circe cried out.

"Then stop repeating your mistakes!" Naruto exclaimed as he took Circe away again.

"Sister, what do you think he will do?" Rem asked.

"Clearly nothing if miss Circe constantly turns people into pigs." Ram replied.

"Could someone help me out here!?" Kaval asked in a panicked voice while Eren and Gido pushed their food aside.

Suddenly Ororo and Kurt arrived with a first aid kit, "Do not worry, we've dealt with this far too many times." Ororo said as she prepared to administer the cure.

Elsewhere

Wendy listened to Shizu's stories about her home in Japan and her basic story of her life upon arrival, "Do you ever miss your home or anyone from there, Shizu-san?" she asked.

Shizu smiled, "I guess I do, but I learn to cope Wendy. But what about you? Aren't you and Kanna trying to find your mother?" she asked.

Wendy nodded, "Yes, but sometimes I worry about why Grandeeney left me and Kanna alone." she said.

Shizu gently stroked Wendy's hair, "It sounds tough, but I know your mother has a reason for leaving you. Even if it's temporary. If she loves you with all her heart. You will see her again." she said making Wendy feel better.

Then Kanna arrived, "Wendy, are we gonna play yet?" she asked.

"In a minute Kanna and… actually." Wendy said before looking at Shizu again.

"What?" Shizu asked curiously.

A few minutes later

Kanna turned into a dragon as per Wendy's suggestion. Right before dragging Shizu onto her back and having Kanna ride around in the sky.

"WOAH!" Shizu shouted as she hanged onto Kanna's fur for dear life.

"HAHA! You get used to it Shizu-san!" Wendy exclaimed.

"I've seen a lot of mystical creatures, but I've never ridden on one. Especially a dragon of all things!" Shizu said with surprise and slight fear in her voice.

"Just hang on Shizu. Then just look down and see how pretty the world is." Kanna said before introducing the horizons.

Shizu watched on with surprise, "It really is pretty and your village. I can imagine how much potential it has to grow." she said.

"And that's why it's my home. I'm going to build it and protect it with my friends and family Shizu-san!" Wendy said making her self promise as the two rode around in the sky on Kanna's back.

Kanna herself smiled at the state of the village and the forest. All the while wondering if Grandeeney is somehow watching her from afar.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Notes: So sorry for the late chapter guys. Anyways, I can confirm that Kurt, Logan and Ororo are the same characters from Marvel's X-Men which I don't own. Don't know if disclaimers are necessary really but I own nothing but the idea of how to put all this content together. All rights reserved and all that.

Another thing, Kanna is Kanna Kamui from Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. So that helps as you'll also see Grandeeney appear later with her own human form in the future.

Last thing, I keep these things at 2-3 girls max. As you can see, I revealed two girls for Naruto. So far it's Shuna and Hinata Sakaguchi. Why? Because NaruHina is my bread and butter, NaruHina is life, haha! All you Naruto x Hinata people can't hate me for writing this because technically Hinata is one of the pairings, just not the Hinata you wanted.

So I think as a third girl, I'm leaning towards Circe from FGO. Unless someone wants to comment on another character whether it's from Tensura/Slime or another anime. Though anyone suggesting would have to come up with a good backstory.

Anyways, that's all, I hope you're all doing great because I can't feel my thumbs.
