Hey guys and girls.
Yes I know it's been a while since I last updated this fanfic. But doing work and such can take a lot out of you. Please understand that. But here is the new chapter.
So the last place we left off was where Naruto was forced to swim in the ocean from the boat to an island where a school was where they'd teach him.
What will they teach him, Naruto doesn't even know. But he knows for a fact. If he doesn't make it, then he will be facing something worse than what he had been through.
Not only that, but Kushina has just been arrested for pedophilia and for trying to lie to cops. What will be in store for her?
Either way, things for both of them are turning out to be rather bad.
Can Naruto hang in there and make it to the school?
Only this chapter will tell for sure.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Opening Song: Stone Sour - Absolute Zero.
Chapter 3: Shoot First. Ask Later.
Running as fast as he could through the dense jungle, Naruto headed in the direction he felt the school was. He had no clue where the school was, only an idea. Yes it was unreliable in a situation like this. But it was better than having no idea.
Running as quickly as his burning legs could carry him. He pushed further. His lungs felt like they would explode any minute now. His mouth dry. His limbs felt heavy with fatigue. But he just had to make it to the school. Everytime he'd pass a tree, he'd look at it with his mind tempting him to just stop for a quick breather.
But he kept denying his temptatious requests. That man on the boat truly knew how to put the screws to someone. This was not going to be pretty.
An explosion broke him out of his musings. The cries of pain followed soon after. It was coming from ahead of him. For an explosion to go off in such an environment was something out of the ordinary. He was truly thankful for his instincts to go in this random direction.
Follow what is out of place, and youre bound to find what you're looking for.
When he came to a clearing, his musings worries were confirmed. As well as his salvation.
Just ahead was an entrance. It looked to be that of some sort of underground tunnel. Well, the opening of one. The school must be underground. No wonder one couldn't find it that easily.
But what confirmed his worries was the results of that previous explosion. Looking around the areas were craters and a few mangled corpses. Landmines. Looking to his left arbitrarily. He found a young teen with his legs blown off. He looked like he'd never make it without treatment.
"Hey." said Naruto walking to the man. "You okay?"
The boy just looked to Naruto and flipped him the middle finger.
"Fuck off short stack." barked the boy.
"Let me help you." was Naruto's only response.
"Hmph. Such mediocrity." came a voice Naruto remembered.
Turning around, Naruto found Erza to be standing there.
"Helping the weak? You're gonna die if you're not careful." said the woman before bounding into the fray of landmines.
Moving as if she was gliding on the ground, she effortlessly made it to the other side before charging into the tunnel.
"Just go. Shit head." barked the wounded individual.
"You need a doctor." said Naruto only to be pushed away.
"I said fuck off." barked the man.
Naruto had no choice. The threat of facing something worse than Hell playing in his mind again. This is not going to end well. Knowing full well that he wasn't going to make it to the other side of the area. He began to think of a way through. And like a lightning bolt from the god of thunder himself. Naruto had an idea.
Grabbing some stones, he threw a few of them in the direction he was facing. A series of explosions rippled through the dirt. Okay, that outlined a path for him to take. Moving forward a bit before throwing a few more stones he repeated this step before finally making it to the other side. This was only the beginning, Naruto was certain about that.
Undisclosed location.
A group of the elitest people stood before a massive screen showing many of the people who would enter the school where they will be taught something powerful. Many of these people saw potential in a few of the new students, but they were all intrigued in Naruto. Their faces were all covered by the shadows of the room.
"He shows extreme promise. Is this guy truly his son?" asked one of them who spoke in a feminine voice.
"He is. Without a doubt. He used that very same technique as Naruto." said another who was a man by the sound of his voice.
"If he doesn't show a heart, he may be even able to surpass our greatest agent." said another who was also female by the voice.
"We shall see." said the one who spoke first.
With Kushina.
Sitting cuffed to the desk of the interogation room, Kushina fidgeted with her hands. She never thought she'd be arrested. She had never been arrested before. Until now.
What was she even thinking? She knew sleeping with underaged men was against the law. Yet the taste of forbidden fruit was just so sweet. She couldn't resist the temptation.
Yet her secret bit her in the ass. There was no escaping this. Her train of thought however was cut short when the door opened to reveal two cops. The same ones that arrested her.
Laying down a file on the desk, the one sat down while the other stood.
"Right. Let's start." said the one sitting down and opening the file.
"Kushina Uzumaki. Graduated in 2011. Honors Degree in Homeroom. Married Minato Namikaze and had a son named Naruto. Husband died in a traffic accident. Spent a few months in mourning and then decided to resume teaching as a means of keeping yourself in check." said the cop before closing the file and looking to Kushina.
"Please explain to me why the heck did you decide to do something so wrong on so many levels?" asked the one standing up.
"I have nothing to say." retorted Kushina only for the one standing up to slam a hand on the table.
"Listen here. You're looking at 15 years without parole for what you have done." snapped the cop.
"Make this easier for yourself and explain to us why you commited not just infidelity but also pedophilia?" asked the one sitting down.
With Naruto.
The travel underground was tougher than Naruto thought but thankfully he made it. He had finally made it to the school. Funny enough the underground tunnel led to the top of the mountain. That would explain the the sudden uphills in that tunnel. The scenery before him was amazing. To finally be able to feel the air against his face. The smell of the salt water from the beach and sea were truly refreshing to feel and smell against his skin.
Turning to the school, Naruto took his first step in the grounds of the institution. His new life was about to start. Whatever they had planned for him.
A woman holding a sheathed rapier in her one hand, with cyan blue hair and a very developed body was seen walking to him. A warm smile on her face as she stopped before him.
"Congratulations for making it to this school. You are the last person to make it here." she said.
Naruto's heart sank immediately. Was he the last one here? That meant he'd end up paying the price. Was this truly how he was going to leave? Not having accomplished anything in his life.
"Don't worry young blood." she chirped breaking him out of his near mental breakdown. "You are the last person to arrive out of the 30 people that have arrived. Meaning you just scraped through into being accepted here."
"Oh thank god." chimed Naruto feeling a massive weight being lifted from his shoulders.
That was a true relief. Hearing that he was the 30th person to make it made him feel at ease. He was truly lucky to finally make it.
"Now, there is a matter on the ones that didn't make it. The others have been dealt with. And I believe that he is arriving...now." said the woman.
As if on que, a young teen that seemed so out of breath made it to the school. His huffed and puffed as if he suffered from smoker's lungs. His body hunched over as he struggled to catch his breath.
"I made it. I MADE IT!" he cried cheering to the skies while smiling like he won the lottery.
Naruto hung his head knowing full well that he didn't make it. Naruto obtained the final spot. Not this guy. It was heartbreaking.
"Sorry kiddo. But this one here made it before you." said the woman turning to the cheering teen. "You're the 31st."
"What?" clamped the man. "How is that possible?"
"As a tradition with our organisation, the ones that didn't make it. Must be dealt with accordingly." said the woman reach behind her.
What she pulled out, made Naruto's blood turn to ice then and there. In her hands rested a Glock 13. But what made him even more cringe in fear was when she turned to Naruto.
"As a means of ensuring the secrecy of our organisation, he isn't allowed to return home. No loose ends. It is your duty to remove anyone who would compromise our name." said the woman handing Naruto the gun.
"It is now your duty. Protection from the outside world is key. Hold up your honor and do it." she said making Naruto take the gun into his hands. "Shoot him."
"But. I-I can't." stammered Naruto as fear snaked into him as his hands began to shake.
The boy had already fallen to his feet and was already begging Naruto to show mercy to him.
"Go on. Uphold the code. You're one of us now. And you are entitled to hold up the code we have." said the woman.
Placing the gun properly in his hands Naruto lifted the gun and aimed down the sights with shaky hands. The woman soon walked to be behind Naruto.
"There is your target. There is your enemy. There is your prey. Only the strong survive while the weak die." she whispered into his ear.
"But I'm not strong." whimpered Naruto in fear at what was expected of him.
"Then become strong. Pull the trigger. Show the world that you will not allow them to walk all over you. Are you a coward? Or are you a lion?" she pressured.
"I...don't think I can do this." shook Naruto.
"So you're admitting that you're weak. You're admitting to the lies the world has been feeding you. You're admitting to the fact that your mother is a cheating whore that will sleep with anyone." she said with a smile.
That flipped a switch within Naruto. The mere mention of his mother came as a surge of rage within him. One which stemmed from a still fresh wound.
"I am not a coward." Naruto growled.
The shaking in his hands stopped.
The woman smiled at this. She had him. Right where she wanted him.
"Look at him. He's probably hiding behind the persona of a weak man. But I bet if we look into him, he was one of your mother's regulars." she continued to egg on.
"Shut it." growled Naruto.
"Just look at him. I bet if your mother was here. She'd be sucking him of right in front of you while he flipped you the finger." she continued to tempt.
The picture of what she stated played within Naruto's mind. He could see this man standing before him. A wicked smile on his face as he had flipped Naruto the middle finger while his whore mother was in between his legs, covered in his cum sucking him off.
"The bastard." growled Naruto pulling the hammer back.
"Then prove to me that you will not let that happen. Show me the resolve of your heart. How much do you want everyone to suffer? How much do want to see them suffer for the pain you've been through?" she sneered.
"I SHIT TON!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three shots were fired and the teen dropped to the ground. Three bullets lodged in his skull as his body lay there. Blood flowing out his skull.
A slowl clap was heard which snapped Naruto out of it. Before he could drop the gun at the shameful and sinful act he did, the woman pat him on the back.
"Welcome to Akatsuki." she chimed as she pushed the hammer back in and holstered the pistol before walking away as if nothing ever happened. "Hm, I'm hungry after that. Maybe I can raid Raven's stash of Cheetos."
Naruto dropped to the floor. And threw up. What he had just done. Would forever haunt him. He had just taken the life of another human being. And what was worse about it. He was baited into doing it. He'd have to become stronger. Stronger than ever to fight this rage he had within him. If not fight, then to control it entirely. He couldn't have another incident where this happens.
And scene.
Well, shit.
Looks like Naruto just took his first life. This looks like something Naruto will have to get used to. And yes, as you can see, things just went dark. Naruto will now be grafted into the organisation known as Akatsuki.
What are they about anyway? What are their goals? What do they truly want from him?
Only time will tell.
Chapter 4: Testing Of Will.
