Y/N woke up in his bed reaching for his sword to fight the attacker the last thing he remembered seeing. His whole body sore. He realized that he was home and it was still dark out , with his tv making noise and illuminating the house somewhat. Inazuma in hand slowly walked outside. Seeing Lizard on the couch put him at ease. He walked around to the front to see her slouched over. He put the sword down loud enough to jolt her awake. She cringed in pain and eased herself back down.
"Hell of a night?" He asked. "You said it, you mind patching me up? I'm sure you have a Medkit around here, I can patch you up after" She responded. He went to the bathroom and returned with the kit and a stool began to help undress her down to her underwear. He set his seat, opened the kit and took a deep breath he took some cotton swabs and dipped it in peroxide.
"What happened after I passed out? The last thing I remember was you fighting someone." He began wiping the cuts on her legs. " Whoever they were they fought hard and I could barely keep up. " "So how did you escape?" Now cleaning the leg with the alcohol wipe. "Trickery."
"I lead him through the forest and took a page from your book and made a clone and sent her to get you. I fought some more and managed to shake him off for a little bit I made another clone that transformed into you and hid." Y/N finished and applied ointment to the wound and then move to her more major wound. A deep gash in her arm that required stitching. He cleaned the wound then he dug through the box and found the needle and thread and took a bit of time to thread it. Looking at her she wasn't scared but she was definitely concerned.
Seeing this look on her face he flickered to the kitchen and then back to her with two shot glasses and sake. He poured, then handed her one. She took the shot throwing her head back and when she came down he was doing the same with the other glass. "Loosen my muscles." He smiled then picked up the needle and then without hesitation went in and began stitching. She yelped and slammed her foot into the ground while keeping the rest of herself still. "When he closed in on my location he almost found me but seeing as he lost me he gave up and he *hiss* returned to "you" and took you back and then I detonated the clone.
"I caught up with you and the clone and we returned here. " "Finished, Now to just put some ointment, and one more shot. He poured two more shots and shared for the other and they downed them Y/N then bandaged her wounds. She laid back letting out a large exhale, then stood up and stretched somewhat. "Damn dude these things are secure, I can see you do this often, your team usually always get banged up?" Asking while sitting down and cleaning his wounds
"Usually it's Mika getting the worst of it actually she's always so gung-ho, when it comes to fighting, she's literally watching our back from the frontlines. Actually , I learned during my time as a bandit, I would sometimes patch up the kids after a run. SHIT!" "Sorry, shoulda warned you, arms up". He complied and had his body wrapped like a mummy. "The last thing you said before we were attacked was that you weren't able to find your guy.
"Yeah. We combed the island and were unable to find anything related to him" "Except the kid?" She asked. He nodded not to ruin her work. "The boy is actually his son, which we didn't anticipate, we were only aware of his father being taken but nothing of anyone else, let alone a child. We brought him back with us and had him taken to the Hokage's office".
She finished and he too stretched while testing the limits of the bandages. "We should report back to Naruto, we can come back here and crash" "Love that idea". Both of them patched up they geared up and returned to the Hokage's office to report.
-------------------------------------------------
"So this is all that you managed to find?"Naruto asked the duo. "Yes Lord 7th, I probably could have found more" Y/N said trying to mask his voice from his uncle. "Y/N I know its you" His eyes widened. "No it's not" He felt his sword was drawn from his back by Lizard showing it to him.
"I just took the sword from some guy it was really hard to get" Seeing him not fall for the lie Y/N unmasked himself before his superior."The last time I heard your dad was very against you joining the ANBU" His heart sank in response hearing that. "But I won't tell him anything, I will respect your choice It's also comforting to know that The Lightning Terror is also Crow" The boy bowed in response" Thank you Naruto I appreciate it"
Naruto shuffled through the papers Y/N took from the room and looked over what were a supply list. "So what exactly happened" Lizard took over the explanation from there.
--------------------------------------------------
Lizard hid in the vents and waited for the meeting to begin before the door opened and all chatter halted. The man buckled his pants and went to head of the table and looked over the others in the room.
"So the council is here, what have you got for me?" The others immediately spoke. "We've seen a lot of our smaller groups be taken out and this has been happening for about 2 years" one said. "He's right We may have been able to refill the people we have lost but the losses in and of themself have been great so replacing them is quite expensive"
"Even one of our secret encampments was destroyed not too long ago, the entire place was razed to the ground, all of our men were dead or captured and the slaves providing the labor were freed" (*See Abu Ops).The woman stating this stood up and had a lot of anger and conviction when she stated this. " I've poured all my time effort and money into this organization and we have nothing to show for it SO WHY I AM I STILL WAISTING MY TIME AND GETTING DESTROYED BY THE LIGHTNING TERROR AND EVERY OTHER VILLAGE AT EVERY TURN!" The sudden explosion shook the room and seemed to act as a catalyst for the concerns of the other people in the room. Soon chatter began again. The man at the head of the table unamused at the bickering before him.
" You aren't here to think" Was all he started with." I am the head of this organization" he continued. "I hired you based on the promises you assured me, that you would be able to do as asked of you." Each statement brought down the chatter amongst them. "The Great War ended over a decade ago and ushered in a wave of peace that bores me to no end, and all I asked was that you stir enough trouble up.' He stood up from his chair and walked to the woman who had her outburst. "This is my ambition, and it is failing. So if anyone is to be upset, it's me" He then sat back down.
"Amongst you failures there have been few successes. The villages knows we exist. They don't know how big we are. The invasion will be our kick off point, because of some of you alls incompetence there will be failure. But some of you will be be successful. And you all are who I am counting on. I will destroy this peace that was ushered in and return our world to that it was, to what it should be."
'A world at war"
WE'VE GOT AN INTRUDER!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
"Not long after that an alarm sounded because they found Y/N and actually captured him. Seeing as our cover was blown I went loud and prioritized your safety. When I got outside you were being dragged by the leg on your face, *nudges* I actually laughed a bit before jumping the guys grabbing you and then waking you up"
Lizard finished. "Well that at least makes these make sense of this list." Naruto said before pushing a button and calling his aid to the room. Y/N put on his mask before they arrived.
"Shikamaru get a call to the other Kage going I have something they need to hear."
"Something important?
"Very." Shikamaru noticed the look on his face and knew he meant business before leaving to complete what was asked of him.
"You two have done outstanding work, and if all this continues then I'll need you to do more. But for now take the week off." Y/N I heard about your prior mission and gave the girls the same break. So that give you time to maintain your ANBU secrecy. However I'll need you to be on your A-game when you return, I'll need some of my best pieces ready to fight"
---------------------------------------------------------
Y/N was at his Mirai's house watching TV with her before getting closer with each and being all up in each other space. She made herself comfortable and wormed her way into his arms and his head on his lap. He found this heartwarming which made what he had to say all the more difficult.
"Mirai, I need to talk to you about something, us actually" She perked up. " I think we should hold off on dating" Mirai took a deep breath before looking relieved and smiling at him. "I was actually thinking the same thing, I don't want to rush anything." She lowered herself down to his lap and he looked as if he wanted to say something else but he refrained and allowed the moment to pass.
"Water?" She asked heading to the kitchen. "I'm parched actually". She went to the kitchen while he was fighting the urge to go the bathroom. She returned to the couch with water in hand and then heard a "Ahh!" come from Y/N. She flickered to the door of it and looked at him in shock looking in the mirror . Then he turned to her.
"The Fuck is this!"
----------------------------------------
So with this chapter I guess this is the first leg of the story. And I'm gonna take a break so I can write some more of this story. I may not publicly show but I really appreciate all the support. I have a lot more story ideas and am working on them but I won't say when I'll drop them since regularly I'm inconsistent.
As I've also said in my post THIS story was supposed to follow the original storyline but that would have been lame seeing that would have been altered events. Like an alternate timeline rather than its own universe. Hence why I need time.
The story will continue on this book to make it easier for all of you to easier follow as opposed to my Kakegurui books. I will also be going through this one and fixing grammatical errors. (Unless the spawned hilarious comments so they stay).
Until then Thank you again and hope you enjoy where we've come to so far, storewise at least. I have a ton of cool ideas I wanna word out to you guys especially with this series.
