Hey guys and girls.

Welcome back to a new chapter of Stone Cold Hunter.

Sorry for not updating sooner but here it is.

So the last place we left off was where Naruto was now successfully a student in the school Atakstuki. An organisation that trains people to become assassins. Killers tasked by many who wish to silence a target of extreme importance. Be it a simple Prime Minister all the way to a President of a country.

During the first day of Naruto beginning, he is thrown into the deep end when he finds himself locked into a classroom with the ceiling slowly falling, threatening to crush them.

Acting quick, Naruto used the chalkboard to bar the roof and complete the first task. This of course had Esdeath come into the room and escort him to the head of the organisation.

Being told part 1 of the truth, Naruto learns that his father was not what he thought he was. His father was actually an agent from Akatsuki. A legend among the ranks.

Being told by this dark haired man that if Naruto wished to learn more, he'd have to prove himself worthy of inheritting his father's codename. The esteemed codename of 9029.

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 5: Drills Galore.

Once again, Naruto couldn't get much sleep, hearing that his father was not what he thought he was drove so many questions in his mind. Why did his father lie? Why did his father murder people for a living? What truly happened the day his father was taken from him?

These were just a few of the questions that swarmed his mind. He had only gotten a total of 3 hours of sleep. By the time he was finally able to get some sleep the door to his room was slammed open with Raven and Esdeath barking orders at him. The equivalent of a Drill-Sergeant. This of course threw the young teen bordering young man to scramble in a hazy mad dash to get clothes on which seemed to be army cadet training gear and sprint out his room to an open field where he found 11 other people there. Among them was Erza. The crimson haired woman merely looked to Naruto with her eyes and scoffed at how he was able to get into a unit like this one.

With the group now lined up and standing at attention, Raven and Esdeath stood before them. Though stunning beauties in their own rights, they looked to be total opposites. One wearing light coloured clothing the other more went for darker style.

Clearing her throat, Raven began.

"Before I tell you all a valuable lesson. Do any of you have any questions?" asked the red eyed beauty.

After a few seconds of silence, one cadet stuck up his hand. Pointing to the young male, Raven motioned for him to ask his question.

"Yeah, I actually have two." he stated clearing his own throat. "May I sleep with you after this training session? And how big are those magnificent tits?"

This was spurred on with a bunch of wolf whistles by some of the other male cadets and even a few giggles by even a few more of the more perverted cadets.

Raven merely shook her head as a strange smile graced her lips. Suantering over to the cadet, she licked her lips as she slowly eyed him up and down. Finally reaching him, she ran a sultry hand over his body. Pushing her own against him, she licked his ear.

"The answer to that question will be revealed...NOW!" the last thing she said was accompanied by a knee to the man's junk. A painful crunching sound filled the cool morning as the teen doubled over in pain as he cupped his coconuts and palm-tree.

"That was the only questions you were given. I gave the entire group two questions to ask. And you just wasted both of them."

Pulling out a 9 mil, Raven emptied 5 bullets into the man's chest. The very scene looked to be straight out of a Saw movie. It was gruesome as blood sprayed the ground. All the while, Raven smiled deviously and she continued firing.

After the 5 bullets were shot, Raven hosltered the pistol and walked to be looking back at the now 11 people before her. Every single one of their faces now holding absolute horror and shock. All but Erza for some odd reason.

"That is the first ever lesson. When on an assignment, you cannot afford to ask questions. You are given your task, the resources you need and are told to do it. You have no say in the matter. You are a weapon. So you must act like one. Now there are many who are exceptions to this rule. One of which was the legendary 9029. Minato Namikaze."

This was met with ooh's from the group as many of them knew that codename. But for Naruto, he knew it all too well. He only learnt of it recently after all. That he was the son of 9029.

"When on the job. Your orders are absolute. No questions are allowed. But when you are on standby, by all means. Feel free to act however you wish." added in Esdeath with Raven now coughing into her hand.

"Now, let me tell you a story." she soon began to pace before the petrified cadets that would soon enough be put through the grinder. "In the beginning, was God. All else, was darkness. So God created the Heavens, and the Earth. He divided the Earth between land and sea. And these he filled with many, assorted creatures. The dark slimy creatures of the oceans, God called Sailors. And he dressed them accordingly."

At this very moment, many of the 11 people nearly cracked with laughter at how Raven was clearly ripping off the Creation story from the Bible.

"The more fly-ty creatures of the air, God called Airmen. And he gave them clothes that were ruffled and fowl. The lower creatures of the land, God called Soldiers. And he gave them trousers too short. Covers too long. And pockets to warm their hands. And as you know on the 7th day, God rested."

Letting her words sizzle for a bit, Raven spun on her heels and slammed her hands on her hips.

"...And on the 8th day. At 05H00, God looked down upon the Earth, and was not happy."

Moving close to one of the cadets, she got into his face and yelled at the poor sod.

"...GOD WAS NO HAPPY! And so he thought about it. And so in his infinite wisdom, God created a divine creature. And this he called, an Assassin. And these assassins that God created in his own image, were to be of the air, the land and the sea. He even gave them a task to do. To protect the world and it's many of a bunch of self-loathing jackasses from the forces of Satan, and evil. But was God happy? NO!"

Spinning for a final time after her pacing and stepping to be in the middle of the cadets she spoke for one last time of her story.

"...Because during his labours, he realized one thing. He could not be an Assassin. And so he thought about it. And he settle on the fact that, not everyone can be an assassin. This puts me one step above God, because I AM and assassin. You remember that, and we will get along just fine."

Turning around and pointing to a tree on a hill in the distance, she yelled out.

"NOW YOU MAGGOTS HAVE EXACTLY 1 HOUR TO GET ME A LEAF FROM THAT TREE! MOOOOVE!"

And with that, the group burst into a scramble of thundering feet as they sprinted to the hill that was most likely 20km away from them. It seemed like an impossible task that had to be completed. But Naruto knew better. After all he was the top performer for his Cross-Country team back in Highschool.

This was a test of endurance. Not a test of speed. The time-limit did give people a shock, but was used more as a scare-tactic.

It was clever but he knew for a fact that he could do it within that time frame. With the right pace and the correct breathing. He will be golden. This was his first ever trial to ensure that he gets his father's codename and learn the truth of it all.

And scene.

So there we have it.

The new chapter of Stone Cold Hunter.

I know it does seem to be a little shorter than usual but please understand that raising a child is extremely taxing on one's own body. Not only that but constantly thinking that something will happen can weigh down your own thoughts.

Anyway, Naruto now begins his first lesson in Akatsuki. The lesson learnt here was to never ask questions while on an assignment. The orders of the mission are absolute and must never be questioned. This was not told to them but shown to them as one of the group members were gunned down for asking a question.

Anyway. I promise you that the next chapter will contain an update for Kushina.

Chapter 6: Scrape Through.

Coming soon.

Thank you for reading.

Please rate and review.
