A Key Made in Blood Chapter 3

A massive hulking man was being pissy about certain news he received. That fucking Dark Knight was back. He was meant to die in that fucking seal and yet he somehow escape and was fucking recompleted?! It could only make his blood boil with rage. He could clearly remember how a fucking child, that Dark Knight humiliated him and prevented him from using that evil god's power. If that damn weapon on his wasn't preventing him from doing so...he would have won all that time ago. Hell, his Cuntry would be well underway but no...he failed and now he had to waste extra resources on John Mandeville to make his men sated by fucking some slaves.

His own rates in the fortress weren't faring better. Beardsley was getting impatient and would sooner die of old age. He remembered the threat Beardsley gave him. Either he can fuck Alicia or he tells them where all his rats are. Volt couldn't afford this. He needed the rats now more than ever. Especially since Olga saw fit to have an ever-moving fortress that fucking teleports.

He had to maintain control, he couldn't afford to lose. He then gave orders to Hicks as he needed his men inside the Alliance walls to get aware of his new plans.

''Tell them that it will start soon. I have to gather resources but in about 3 months we will try again and succeed.'' Volt told Hicks as the latter smirked as he spoke up before he departed.

''Tch...about fucking time. I can't wait to fuck Maia!'' Hicks said he departed on his mission. He ran insanely fast as Volt's mage, Kean asked his boss a question.

''We already failed boss. I know you already are aware but we mustn't fail. Our loss to Olga when hired was a pretty big blow to our company's reputation.'' Kean said as I volt nodded before crushing a fruit as he snarled.

''Don't remind me..! I'm pissed enough as it is to have lost to a brat but this time we will win.'' Volt said as he and his men began preparing themselves as they had to try their plan again for a Cuntry.

Meanwhile: Somewhere Else in Eostia.

A young woman with platinum blonde hair in a ponytail dressed in purple arrived. This land was where Naoto became famous. She couldn't help but frown at the state it was in. It seemed to be in a war and effectively banishing Naoto back to their land seemed pointless as it didn't stop the war. This was already cementing her opinion on the matter. First, her best friend Sakura dies in Sasuke and it hurts her mood as The Third Hokage even if it wasn't his intention had Saukra as a casualty to his death toll. If he never did so to Naoto then maybe Naruto would be there and Sakura wouldn't have died to her stupid plan. Was it only the Third's fault? No, but it helped rationalize her anger and the loss of a friend so she took it as she was Ino Yamanaka, the Heiress to the Yamanaka clan specialized in Mental Jutsu and Psychology so she'd be damned if she was gonna let a way to cope pass her by.

The good news was that before she left, Tsunade had made her stronger. Sakura was sadly gone so Ino had to become the next Slug Sage and a wielder of the Strength of a Hundred Seals. She also had surpassed forehead in Medical Ninjutsu so she wasn't complaining. She was worried about her friends and family but she had a plan. She had to get a reputation to get into the Princess Knights, then she would fight with them against this Olga and she would fight Naoto on the battlefield and try to make him change side and more.

Was her plan perfect? Far from it but she had a plan at least and besides she could try the direct approach. The reason Konoha failed with the Third's actions was because of his lack of honesty masquerading as actual honesty. She mulled things over as she began recalling her memories.

Flashback: 10 Years ago

Ino was sitting in the park when she saw a blonde-haired boy taking care of flowers. She was surprised as this wasn't a thing boys their age did. Curiosity got the better of her as she approached the boy.

''Hi! Do you need help? You are doing it a bit wrong. I'm gonna be a florist like my dad so I know a thing or two.'' Ino said as the boy looked surprised before smiling as he answered her.

''Sure... I'm trying my best here but these flowers are dying.'' The boy said as Ino took the reigns and began using plant grafting to save them. The boy helped by getting nutritious soil as they worked to save these lilies. Their work was done after a couple of hours, the flowers began to gain some of the colors, they lost. Ino smiled happily as she spoke.

''Whew... Yay...We did it! It was hard but we saved those lilies. Thanks, you were a great help.'' Ino said as the boy shook his head and spoke.

''No... I couldn't save them like you did.'' The boy said as Ino chided him as she spoke.

''Nonsense... it was a team effort. If you hadn't even tried they would have died. We both helped. Speaking of, I'm Ino Yamanaka. What's your name?'' Ino asked as the boy answered her.

''It's Naoto Uzumaki.'' Naoto said as Ino now knew the name of the boy that she helped. She smiled as she asked him a question.

''Well, Naoto...wanna be friends?'' Ino asked as the boy smiled as he nodded as Ino's smile grew.

Flashback End

Ino couldn't believe the Third Hokage was such a piece of shit. Naoto even helped nature but now it solidified her opinion. She would get to the dark Elves and be honest about her mission. Lying got them into this mess so honesty would be the right thing to do. She could only hope that they would at least hear her out of that Naoto would recognize her.
