Hello again! :D make sure to drop a review if you have a cool idea or general criticism for my writing.
Also I'll make it heavily sure: this isn't a modern Au romance, I hate how unutilized modern Au adventure and fantasy fics can work especially with some powers that can only make sense in this day of age.
But I have some news: from now on this fic would generally have a lot of long waits until Updates, I have a busy school year this year and the fact I am interested in three languages (French Portuguese and Japanese) and trying to understand other religions/cultures (mostly abrahamic and Islam) to use for my Fanfic would make it hell honestly. If I make any one shot, it is probably because it has taken over my head and I can't stop thinking about it.
But let's forget about that and enjoy this new chapter!
Neji was worried for his little cousin-or little sister really- as it was really late and she still hasn't come back from her little errand. Quite uncharacteristic of her.
Due to his worrisome state he took off looking for her, because who knows if something bad may happen.
He was running in the cold night, looking left and right trying to find his sister. Suddenly a hellish scream arose from a nearby alley. Dashing frantically to the direction of the sound he slammed into someone.
Both he and the figure proceeded to fall on their butts, looking to see who he accidentally rammed to, wanting to apologize to him. He saw an old man with white hair and ragged clothes not suited for such a cold weather, in the dimness of the night he could barely make out two red lines on both of the oldman's face.
"Hey, kid! Look where you're looking at! Damn reckless children" the guy quickly got up quickly-making Neji aw at his size- and ran to the same direction that Neji was originally going to.
How strange.
Neji, waking up from his stupor, follows suit with the old man. He was sure that he can defend himself if need be, he is a martial art expert even though he's still a young boy of 15.
Catching up with the white haired man, Neji could smell what could only be a stench as bad as that of a public bathroom. But worse is that it's the stench of blood hovering in the cold air.
But what caught his eyes quickly was his sister; Hinata, trying to reach for her phone only to drop it. She looked mortified, looking at where the bloody scent was coming from.
Neji looked over to said direction only to see what could be described as a mini red lake, a man on his knees already dead as it looks to be. Next to him was a boy, who looked like he was holding on to a mere thread to stay alive.
Neji has seen violence before, as he is a martial artist,but not a brutality of this level.
Just what the hell happened here?!
"Hinata! What happened here?!" He shouted, but his question was left unanswered as she fainted on him.
"Naruto!" The white haired, old man was already at the kid's side. Bandaging him up with pieces of his cloth making sure the kid doesn't bleed to death.
"Hey, brat! Stop standing there and call an ambulance or something!" The old man shouted at him, Neji complied with said order, as he didn't need to see someone die in real time.
He had already seen enough as it is.
As they waited for the police and ambulance to come, Neji was holding Hinata, balancing her while watching the old man use some weird techniques on the now identified boy; Naruto.
The man would let loose green saliva that seemed to close some of Naruto's injuries, making sure he can survive until the medics and cops come.
As weird and disgusting it was, he wasn't going to question it. After all, it helps with keeping Naruto alive.
A short while the cops and meds had come to the location. Hinata and Naruto were taken in care by the medics while he and the White haired man were being interrogated.
"So, you just came to the scene while it was in its final act? Tsk, we're gonna need to check the cam footages, if there were any damned cameras here" replied an annoyed cop, who had a bandana with the symbol of a Leaf
It is the symbol for the Land of Fire's military force which is composed of police, military armies and intelligence under their leader who goes by as the "Hokage". The man has a lax, almost sleepy look with a toothpick sticking out of his mouth.
"Care to tell us about your names? We might need those two kids to know what happened here." Said his companion, who had his badge on a headband, which is how it should be worn, since it's a forehead protector and all. He also adorned a customized piece of glasses that look durable and are less likely to fall off in combat.
"My name's Neji Hyuga, I am the older cousin of the witness, Hinata Hyuga."
"The name's Jiraiya, I am that boy; Naruto Uzumaki's master." The now named Jiraiya announces, forgetting to add his last name, which the bandana man notices.
"Uhuh, and what's your last name?
"Uhh well, you see, I don't have one. Forgot about it when I was a young, youthful, woman charming lad" Jiraiya says as he starts reminiscing of his younger days.
"Well if you don't mind, you can call me "Jiraiya The Gallant"! The best warrior and master of the toad arts on a far away mountain,slayer of Beasts and charmer of princess-" Jiraiya was sadly interrupted from his epic introduction as bandana snapped at him, and snapped his toothpick too while he's at it. Both Neji and Glasses felt second hand embarrassment.
"Just shut up with your fairy tail bullcrap, Aoba not down: Neji Hyuga, Jiraiya The Gallant, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga."
"Yes sire!" Aoba did as commanded.
"Welp, that's it for now. Make sure to get info out of those two as we'll need it to know how this guy died". Bandana,now identified as Gemma as the car lights made his ID card readable, said while entertaining his car, as he and Aoba took off to look up the cameras of the area to see what actually happened here.
Neji dialed up his uncle so he could take them to visit Hinata at the hospital. And wanting to be gracious he tried to invite Jiraiya with them, only to find a cloud of dust in his place…
How the hell did he get out of here so fast?!
With Jiraiya:
Jiraiya was sprinting at his maximum speed which easily out-speeds the fastest of racing cars.
He didn't lie about anything in his speech, well only the women part that is. He's as unlucky as ever with the opposite gender.
Well that's besides the point, Jiraiya just needed to know what happened in that scene? He is sure that Naruto wasn't the one to damage the man that much.
Yes Naruto sure is strong for a kid his age but he sure isn't strong enough to fend off most adults. But even if he is sure that Naruto didn't use any special technique, given he has no "Roh" to use any. Given what had happened That Night.
And upon examining the body before the cops arrived he found a lack of external injuries that would lead to death, which leads him to believe that it was the girls doing, if the high reading of Roh is anything to go by.
Quickly reaching the hospital he used one of his frog learned techniques to locate and sneek to Naruto's room and take him away, he may be powerful but he sure as hell ain't rich.
He's a poor hermit for god sake!
He also took the girl away with him. Leaving a note to her family and staff, it may be a pain in the ass since the cops would definitely be after him but this is more important than that or some other things!
It's been such a long time since he had gotten such a strong reading of Roh since He was Alive and well.
Taking a look at what this young miss has In her would surely be interesting.
A/N: As I said, I'll be using other languages and such for this fic (inspired by Bleach using Spanish and German words)
Roh (الروح): Means Spirit in Arabic and is the power system of this fic. Everyone has a spirit in them and one needs to learn what it yearns for to unlock its full potential.
I won't say much because I have shit ton of ideas for this.
As I said I'll be talking a huge while for a new update so t'ill next time.
See ya!
