//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 // Story: I Just Walk Away // by madhat886 //------------------------------// The Leaf village became a battleground for the second time in less then a month. But unlike what happen during the exams where they were invaded by two other ninja villages, this time was giving many of the older villagers flashbacks of the demon fox. Trixie was in the driver seat driving the RV at full speed and at full power, smashing through anything in it's path. The ninjas escorting the villagers to safety are clearing a path for the RV by grabbing any villager in its way. As Trixie just tore through buildings as the RV was made to withstand things that a vehicle of the same size would never be able to survive, and the force field also protected it from any long range attacks the ninjas are throwing at it. "Twilight are the weapon systems online?" Trixie shouted into the intercom. "It's ready. All guns are armed with rubber bullets and launchers with flashbangs and teargas," Twilight said as she programs the auto-turrets of the RV. "Rubber bullets. flashbangs and teargas?" Trixie ask. "There are kids out there and we're trying to keep the collateral damage low," Twilight said. "Sure the ninja rookies attacking us," Trixie said as the ninjas all around the RV are throwing everything at them. "They're throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us." The RV made a loud clang sound as one of the ninjas throws a kitchen sink at the RV. "Tell me that just didn't happen," Twilight deadpanned over the intercom. "I thought that only works in cartoon worlds," Trixie said. (1) "Don't go around speaking out loud of things like that," Twilight said. "Right," Trixie said as she flips the auto weapons on and turrets and launchers pop up from all over the RV and under it just in case. The ninjas attacking the RV were blasted away as the auto-turrets lock onto them and fired a hail of rubber bullets at them. And the launchers fired teargas all around the RV causing a cloud of tear gas to form around the RV, which Trixie turn on the filter on the view screen allowing her to see where she's going. The teargas causes severe eye, respiratory, and skin irritation, pain, vomiting, and even blindness. The ninjas tried to put on gas masks but unlike other gases the ninjas are use to, the teargas the girls are using also works on skin contact. The flashbangs cause deafness, stunning, temporarily or even permanently blinding the ninjas who were in the effected blast zones. (2) "Make sure that you won't start blasting away once we get to the Roots HQ," Twilight said. "Don't worry, I'm more then competent enough with the guns not to blast Naruto," Trixie said. "Once, he's in range, I can teleport him," Twilight said. "Why don't you just do it now?" Trixie ask. "I only place a tracking spell on him not one that, I can lock onto and just teleport him to me. A spell like that would had taken too long for me to cast," Twilight said. "Just teleport him when we see him. And make sure the main guns are ready. We're going to be blasting our way into the HQ," Trixie said. She flipped a switch and twin cannons came out in the front of the RV. "The energy cannons are ready," Twilight said. The energy cannons are routed directly from its own plasma engines, giving the cannons the ability to punch through just about any shield target. Which the plasma engines can power an entire city which is made possible thanks to the RV being bigger on the inside. "Good," Trixie said. She's using the computer screen to zero in on Naruto. She spotted where she's heading to, the side of the Hokage mountain with big metal doors in her way. Trixie smiles as she blasted the doors to pieces and drove into the Roots HQ. ! Elsewhere in the village - Sunset lifted Choza Akimichi up into the air over her head and slammed him into several buildings. He had grown into a giant to try to take her one on one but Sunset proved to be much stronger then he is. She then jumps high into the air and lands with all of her weight onto his stomach. The impact cause Choza to cough up blood and he puff in a cloud of smoke transforming back to normal size. Sunset lifted her foot to crush him, when Choza's son Choji can rolling in a ball and grab his dad as Sunset foot stomp on where he was. "This is no good she's too big and strong," Shikamaru said to his father Shikaku. Too many ninjas were walking wounded and spent thanks to the invasion during the exams. He and his clan members have been trying to stop Sunset with their shadow jutsus. But it doesn't work on her as she just powers through their clan jutsu. (3) "We got this!" Shino said as he appeared along with many members of his clan and they released their bugs to swarm Sunset. "Look out!" Ino shouted who is with her father. She and the other members of her clan have tried to use their mind jutsu on Sunset but it didn't work, something is blocking their attacks. Sunset had pulled out two teargas grenades from her data storage device. She pulled the pins and drops the grenades around her engulfing the village in a giant cloud of teargas. The gas created a great cloud that covered the entire village like thick smog that choke anyone who tried breathing it. She activated her helmet that pulls her long hair into it as the helmet wraps around her head. (4) With her entire body covered in an airtight seal the teargas wouldn't effect her. The bugs that were swarming around her were all quickly died from the gas as it acted like bug spray. The ninjas who lack full body protection had to flee for safety, lead by Kiba and the rest of his clan members who along with their dogs couldn't stand the gas. The few ninjas in full body protection were either helping or busy trying to fight against Sunset. Kasumi still powered by the feather cape kept busy by taking off the gasmasks that the ninjas are wearing or damaging them where they didn't work anymore. With both her and Sunset in their sealed power suits they didn't have to worry about the gas or the limited vision the gas is causing. The suits are also spacesuits so there's noway the gas is going to effect them. (5) ! At the hospital - Jiraiya having been awaken by the noise had to call a nurse who had ninja training and strong enough chakra. Together with him talking her way through the the summon managed to summon one of the toads. Gamakichi was the one who was summon. "Jiraiya and... whoever you are. Why did you summon me?" Gamakichi ask as he looks around the room. "I need you to summon your father, Gamabunta," Jiraiya said. "Why don't...," Gamakichi began asking only to see Jiraiya holding up his hands showing both them them are in a case. "We're being attack so go and summon him," the nurse shouted as she grabs Gamakichi and runs him over to the window showing him the village engulf in a foul smelling smoke that he can smell and a giant woman smashing buildings. The room they're in is high enough where it's over the teargas cloud. "Ok!" Gamakichi shouted as he summons his father. Which is something that him being his father he is able to do. Gamabunta appearing right next to the hospital wondering why his son summon him. Than he felt the teargas stinging his skin but because of his size his head is above the cloud. Looking around he saw that the Leaf Village is once again under attack and this time it's by a giant woman in a body suit. "Dad you need to stop her!" Gamakichi shouted out. Gamabunta look to his side and saw his son along with a woman and Jiraiya sticking their heads out of a window. "What's going on?" Gamabunta ask. "We're being attack and you need to take...," Jiraiya began but was cut off. Sunset seeing the giant toad appearing had reach down and lifted the fallen Hokage tower up. She slam it down on Gamabunta knocking him down to the ground and then lifted the tower up again repeating slamming it on him. She kept slamming the tower on him till the building finally broke in her hands. Not losing the momentum she took what large pieces of the destroyed building and kept hitting him, then when those broke she hit him with anything she could get her hands on till he puff away going back to the summon world. (6) "Nice try," Sunset said as she got to her feet and turn her attention to the hospital. Tsuande being force to use her rebirth jutsu after waking up in what was left of her grandfathers stone head, found the village covered in smoke and a giant Sunset is wreaking the village. Tsuande watch as Gamabunta was summon only for him to be knock down by Sunset and beaten till he puff away. She tore off a large chunk of her grandfathers stone head and throws it at Sunset's head. The rock face slam into the back of Sunset's head sending her falling to the ground and disappearing in the cloud of teargas. Tsuande seeing Sunset is gone began leaping towards the hospital using the buildings that are sticking above the gas cloud. She doesn't know what the cloud is but the smell of it made her realize that whatever it is she can't breathe it. As she got closer to the hospital where Jiraiya is a giant arm burst out of the cloud trying to grab her. She managed to dodge it and landed on a nearby roof top. The building she's standing on began shaking as the building broke apart and fell over. Tsuande leap to another building and looking down saw through the opening in the cloud caused by the building falling that Sunset is still on the attack and is crawling on all fours using the cloud as cover. Tsuande began running as the buildings she stood on began falling down as Sunset seem to know where she is at all times and knocking down the buildings she's on. ! Roots HQ - Danzo shouted orders for his Root members to stop or delay the machine that's tearing its way through the underground base. Behind him strap to a gurney is Naruto who he finally has his hands on. He's been waiting for this day to come, he'll be able to turn the boy into the weapon he always should have been. Tsuande had him brought to him so that he be kept lock up till the seal could be restored and he would be train into being the weapon for the village. But those girls are ruining everything. A wall burst apart as the RV came through and the autoguns blasted all the ninjas in the room before they could move. The guns stop firing leaving Danzo standing behind Naruto who is still strap to the gurney with a kunai ready to slice his throat. Twilight seeing this quickly teleports Naruto into the RV dropping the shields of the RV for a second to do so. She enjoys the look on Danzo's face when he saw Naruto disappear in front of him. "Come out of...," Danzo began to say but was cut off as Trixie blasted him with the main guns reducing his body to nothing but a bloody mess. "No fight for you," Trixie said. "Twilight?" Naruto ask finding himself in a strange room with her. "Welcome to the RV our home on wheels," Twilight said. "You came for me?" Naruto ask not believing that someone he just met would come to save him. "Of course we did," Twilight said as she lifts a vacuum cleaner up. "Now hold still while, I get that fox out of you." "What?" Naruto ask. "We're taking you with us and away from this village," Trixie said over the com as she shifted gears and turn the RV around. "Away?" Naruto ask. "I'm sorry Naruto but we couldn't just leave you here to be used as a weapon for a place that mistreated you like this," Twilight said as she activated the vacuum and place it on Naruto's stomach. "Why?" Naruto ask feeling something being sucked out of him. "We can't just leave you here. We're going to take you far from here and you can make a new life for yourself or come with us," Twilight said. "Come with you?" Naruto ask. "We're the same. Both of us had people who had a take all but give nothing back relationship. Tsuande would had been nothing but a drunk or any of the people she owned money too finally managed to get her. And she would had wipe your memory of all of this and made sure you'll be nothing but the all forgiving hero your parents made you be," Twilight said as she shuts off the vacuum once it had suck the fox out of Naruto. "The mentor you mention?" Naruto ask. "I saw what she and who, I thought were my friends and family really thought of me," Twilight said bitterly. She place the vacuum on the teleported and sent it to Rick. "Just leave everything behind?" Naruto ask. Twilight was about to say something when the computer screen behind her turn on and Rick appeared on screen. "Hey, I only wanted the fox," Rick said. "I did sent you the fox," Twilight said. "Then why do, I have two ghosts here," Rick she making the screen grow bigger and reveal the fox trap in a test tube like container, who is much smaller as the container sealed away all of its power. But in two other containers have a man and a woman, Minato and Kushina, Naruto's parents. "I forgot about that," Twilight said remembering how Minato and Kushina had sealed a piece of themselves in the seal when it looks like it was breaking and Naruto was losing control. "My parents," Naruto said staring at them. "Naruto?" both parents ask seeing their son on a screen. "They're unstable and won't last long if they leave the containers they're in," Rick said looking at the data he's getting. "I have no use for energy beings like them. Well not now anyways. But of course, I could always freeze them and trade them to another Rick who has use for them." "Do it," Naruto said shocking his parents. "Go and trade them away and have horrible things happen to them like they did to me." "Naruto?" Minato ask. "What's wrong with you. We're your parents," Kushina said. "Parents who made me into a weapon, seeing me as nothing but a tool, a thing to place a mind jutsu that would keep me from questioning why I'm being treated as, I was. A thing that would be the all forgiving and loving hero no matter what. I disown both of you as my parents," Naruto said shocking both of them as the jutsu should have kept him under control. "And my family thinks I'm a bad parent," Rick said as takes a drink from some beer. "The seal broke?" Kushina ask. "Yes it did and it's no longer controlling me," Naruto said. "Naruto please it was for your own good. The ....," Minato began but his voice stop. "Mute button got to love it," Rick said as he gave the finger to the two trap ninjas. "Thanks," Twilight said. "Sure whatever," Rick said before eyeing Naruto who is staring at his parents with pure hate. "Hey kid you know there is a way to bring down the whole ninja world." "How?" Naruto ask. "All you need to do is destroy the big tree thing where your ninja, whatever came from. Heard enough stories from other Rick's to know how to bring the ninja world down. At least in your world sitting anyways. But it's always the same destroy the tree and it causes a whole chain reaction that totally destroys the energy field that allows ninjas have powers. Or will cause the planet to be destroyed as some times the chain reaction causes it to blow up," Rick said. "Why are you being so helpful?" Twilight ask. "I just feel like it. Count yourself lucky, I'm helping. Besides, I count this as taking down a whole way of life of an entire planet. That will show the other Rick's and I'll be on the score board," Rick said. "I.... no I don't want to know," Twilight said. "How can, I destroy the tree?" Naruto ask. "Well to do it right, I could sell you a black hole...," Rick began but was cut off by Trixie. "No need, I have a black hole trashcan. I can turn it on and setup a bomb that will destroy the container breaking the force field and release the black hole. The black hole won't last long without power but it should destroy the tree and won't cause the entire world to be destroyed while we're on it," Trixie spoke up. "Sure that would work but it wouldn't destroy the whole world like one of my bombs," Rick said. "I don't want to kill them. I want them to suffer," Naruto said. "Ok we're going with the black hole," Twilight said. "Leave the screen on, I want to watch," Rick said. Behind him both Minato and Kushina had heard everything and are now pounding their fists against the walls of their containers shouting at the top of their lungs for Naruto to listen to them. But outside their containers no sound came out. ! Leaf Village - Sunset rose out of the teargas clouds towering over the building that Tsuande is standing on. The building is the hospital and is the last building that is above the cloud line, all the others have been destroyed by Sunset. Tsuande no having nowhere to go and low on chakra thanks to using her rebirth jutsu to restore her body. Tsuande knows that Sunset was already as strong as she was before she became a bigger giant, and is now much stronger. This is going to be a fight of her life. "Sunset!" Trixie voice called out as she flew out of the teargas clouds in the RV in it's aircraft mode. "What?" Sunset ask as she kicks over the hospital building over to the surprise of Tsuande who fell with it along with all those in it, disappearing into the teargas clouds. Tsuande had been expecting Sunset to just stand there and talk with Trixie in that flying thing, not talk and destroy the building she's on. "Shrink down we're going. Kasumi is already inside," Trixie said. Sunset despell the power-up turning back to normal and teleported into the RV, which blasted off flying away from the village left in ruins. Inside Sunset step off the teleport pad where they all ended up when they teleport in so they wouldn't have to worry about anything being in the space where they teleport into. Sunset saw Naruto watching as Twilight was doing something to the container with the mini black hole that Trixie got. And Kasumi has gotten a whole bunch of scrolls. "You raided the clan compounds while, I was attacking?" Sunset ask. "Well you didn't really need my help. So, I help myself to the clans secrets and vaults," Kasumi said. "Got some good loot?" Sunset ask. "Got everything that's looks like its worth something," Kasumi said showing Sunset some silver and gold items. "Great, it's wasn't a whole lost then. So where are we going?" Sunset ask. "We're heading for the chakra tree and set off Trixie's black hole trashcan and let it be suck in. Which according to Rick will cause the whole world to lose chakra," Twilight said. "How...," Sunset began but stop when the ship stop. "We're here," Trixie shouted as she followed the tracker on her view screen zeroing on in to the chakra tree. Which wasn't that hard to figure out it was the tree when she saw the mountain size plant. "Ok bomb is set and ready to teleport," Twilight said placing the bomb which is the trash container with the mini black hole with several bombs to break containment. "The trashcan would turn on building up a good charge before the bombs blow up breaking the trashcan and the force field that kept the black hole from sucking up everything in check. The tree would be suck in, falling into the black hole as the teleporter will teleport it in a small cave created by it's roots right underneath it." "That's it?" Sunset ask. "I would think it be something else. Something more then that to take away chakra," Kasumi said. "Nope," Rick said watching from the computer screen. "What the?" Sunset ask looking at Twilight to why Rick is watching. "He wants to watch," Twilight answers. "And, I want them to watch as, I their weapon destroys their world and the ninja way of life," Naruto said looking at his parents who are shouting in their containers but with the mute on he heard nothing. "Just press this button and it will give us 5 minutes to fly into space," Twilight said showing Naruto the button to press. "5 minutes?" Sunset ask. "Do you really want to be anywhere near a black hole?" Twilight ask. "Don't worry the force fields, I put in can protect you," Rick said taking a drink. "Unless you're right next to it that is." "I'll leave a drone to film it," Trixie said firing off a spy drone from the bomb launcher. "No more ninjas," Naruto said as he presses the button to the horror of his parents watching. The bomb teleported away and a countdown clock started. Trixie hit the gas and flew straight up into the sky till she was in space. She kept going till she was beyond the orbit of the moon. "Rick is this a safe place?" Twilight ask. "I would get as far as, I can," Rick admitted. "Right," Trixie said flying deeper into space and further from the planet. "Trixie it's time," Kasumi said as the countdown reaches zero. They all watch from the drone's camera as the chakra tree was suck into the black hole. The charge powering the black hole lasted for 20 seconds. Long enough for the tree from the very top to fall into the black hole before the hole disappeared. And as Rick had explain with the tree gone, it caused a chain reaction that wipe off all chakra from the planet and beyond. "I can't feel chakra anymore," Naruto said. "Then it works," Rick said turning to Minato and Kushina who had fallen to their knees as they watch their son destroy the ninja way of life. Then he turns to the fox who is growling at him, now reduced to the size of a real fox. "Looks like being in another universe left them safe and unaffected." "Naruto how do you feel?" Kasumi ask wondering what he's feeling now. "I feel great," Naruto said. "I have destroyed a entire way of life the ninjas don't have any chakra anymore and many will die because of it. And it's worth it for all what the Leaf Village has done to me!" "And, I'm going to have the drone reveal the reason and cause for all chakra be gone from that world. If you like and since you're no longer be around the Leaf Village will be the target instead," Twilight said. "Do it," Naruto said. "There you go," Twilight said programing the drone with a message to be played for all the leaders of the ninja villages and lords. "Well it's been fun," Rick said turning off the screen and the last that Naruto would ever see of his parents. "We're heading back home. We need some rest before we're going to another universe," Trixie said to Sunset and Twilight. "Twilight can you and the others please tell me what's going on?" Naruto said as he sat down and started looking around realizing that he was so caught up in getting revenge he has no real idea where he is or who the people who save him are. "It's going to be a long story," Twilight said sitting next to him. She began telling him about herself with the others adding in their own tales about themselves, and where they came from and where they're from. Leaving Naruto stun at what he has gotten himself into and something welling up inside of him. Twilight and her friends had came together to walk away from their worlds as they just had enough and leave. And are now traveling from different universes with different worlds in them which some like his are fictional in other universes, looking for a place to call home. He began to smile as he is now part of their group also looking for a place to call home. For he like them just walk away, to find someplace better. (7)
