Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Nothing much to say other than hope you enjoy the chapter. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Asgard, home of the Norse gods, or the Aesir and Vanir, and ruled by Odin, the All-Father and Chief Deity of the Gods. That is, until a few centuries ago, when Asgard had received a new ruler, one that had not only caused complete chaos, when he first arrived, but also inadvertently caused Ragnarok and somehow prevented it. With them then becoming the new leader of the Norse Gods, much to their dismay, aside from a select few.
The name of the new ruler, Billy.
Currently, all the gods and Valkyries were gathered in the feast hall, with Billy sitting at the head table, with Gungnir strapped to his back and Mjölnir attached to his waist, originally the weapons of Odin and Thor, respectively, until Billy took them. Despite centuries having passed since his death and arrival in Asgard, Billy looked physically the same as he did when he was alive, and went on adventures with Mandy and Grim, only now wearing Asgardian armor, instead of normal clothing.
Sitting at Billy's side were his advisors, Thor, and Loki, who made sure their new ruler actually did his duties, rather than goofing off. More so Thor than Loki, given the God of Mischief personally enjoyed having Billy as ruler of Asgard, it allowed him to do as he pleased more often.
Loki also enjoyed the chaos Billy unleashed, whenever he got bored. And he's sure with the news he's just received, Billy will cause even more mayhem.
"My Lord, I have just learned of some news I believe you'd want to hear." Loki said, getting everyone's attention.
"What's that?" Billy asked, taking a bit out of his large chicken leg.
"It seems your old friend, Mandy was it, she has been reincarnated into a new world. The Elemental Nations." Loki answered, with Billy gasping in excitement, before squealing happily.
"Really?! That is so cool, that means Mandy is a Ninja! Oh boy, I can't wait to see her again!" Billy said, excited to hear Mandy has been reincarnated, and jumped off his throne to go see her.
"My Lord, forgive me, but you cannot simply leave Asgard to visit your friend. You still have many duties to attend to, after the feast." Said Thor, as even if he'd love nothing more than for Billy to leave, especially after how he had stolen Mjölnir again, he was still Asgard's ruler.
"Ah man." Billy muttered, disappointed that he won't get to see Mandy again.
"But you could still send someone in your place to watch over Mandy, as well." Thor added, making Billy perk up at this, with a large grin.
Unfortunately, Thor knew he couldn't go, since he needed to be in Asgard to keep Billy under control. Or, at least as close one could get to keeping Billy under control.
"Hey, you're right! But who should I send?" Billy wondered, looking around the hall to see who he could have watch over Mandy.
"I'll do it, my Lord!"
"I shall defend your friend with my life!"
"Send me!"
"No me, my Lord!"
"Please send me!"
All the gods were raising their hands, all of them desperate to be the ones to be chosen, just so they could escape their leader. Only a few weren't going crazy trying to be chosen, with these few being the ones that actually enjoyed having Billy as their new ruler, or just didn't care.
"Hmm…" Billy hummed in thought, looking around to see who he should choose, only to look over when he saw Odin and one of the Valkyrie, Rossweisse, with the ruler of Asgard frowning, when he saw Odin was once again teasing her.
"Why don't you want to go, Rossweisse? After all, it's not like you have any important duties to worry about, or a boyfriend that'll miss you!" Odin snickered, with Rossweisse turning red in embarrassment.
"Th-that's not true! I have several important duties to focus, and heroes' souls to guide to Valhalla!" Rossweisse said.
"No you don't, you have enough trouble finding souls to guide. Which is just more free time you have, in addition to the time you already had from having no boyfriend!" Teased Odin, with Rossweisse getting tears in her eyes, having always been sensitive about having prioritized her studies and training, which usually left no room for romance in her life.
"Oh don't cry, besides, now Brynhildr knows what it's like not having a boyfriend either, you both can bond over that." Odin said, while Brynhildr sat in a corner, comforted by the Valkyrie Trio, Ortlinde, Hildr, and Thurd, after her separation from Sigurd.
Hearing this made Billy's frown deepen, having never liked the way Odin teased Rossweisse about never having a boyfriend. And now he's adding Brynhildr, as well.
Seeing his leaders expression, Loki smirked as he had more news he's sure would lead to more fun.
"There was one other thing, my Lord, it seems Mandy also now has a twin brother. One I'm sure could help our dear Valkyries find happiness of their own." Loki whispered in Billy's ear, with the chief perking up again.
"Hey, great idea, Loki!" Said Billy, seeing how he'd not only get to send a group to watch over Mandy, but he'd be able to help Rossweisse, Brynhildr, and maybe the Valkyrie Trio find happiness.
Grabbing Gungnir from the harness on his back, Billy banged it on the ground a few times, silencing the hall and getting everyone's attention.
"Alright, I have decided! Rossweisse, Brynhildr, and the Valkyrie Trio shall be sent to watch over Mandy, and her new brother!" Billy declared, much to everyone's despair, and the five Valkyrie's surprise, before they all stepped forward, and bowed to their leader.
"We will not fail you My Lord." The Valkyries said.
"My Lord, if I may, I wish to accompany the Valkyries, as well." A voice spoke up, with everyone looking and seeing it was Freya, the former Queen and Odin's wife, who made the request.
Freya has long silver hair, purple eyes, and white skin, like that of fresh snow; possessing a beauty that is superior and outstanding, even among the gods. Which was further enhanced by her clothes, which consisted of a dress that expose most of her stomach and breasts; a pair of opera gloves, that stopped just short of her shoulders; a collar-like necklace, that was looked floral in design, around her neck; a sleeve on her right leg, that went from her thigh to her shin, with part of it reaching her ankle; and a pair of high-heeled shoes. She also wears two flowerlike ornaments in her hair. All of which was black, with red highlights, except for her shoes, which were completely black.
Freya was interested in meeting this supposed friend of the new ruler of Asgard, along with seeing it as a way to get away from her idiot, and perverted, husband. Perhaps even finding someone who can actually satisfy her or use as a toy until she does find someone.
"Freya, alright you can join them. Freya and the Valkyrie's will be the ones to go! Also as punishment for your repeated taunting of Rossweisse, I sentence Odin to five hundred years of cleaning out Fenrir's litterbox!" Said Billy, much to the All-Father's dismay, and everyone else's amusement, especially Loki's.
The six who would be going to the Elemental Nations, left the hall to get ready, while eager for the time they'll get away.
'This is going to fun.' Freya thought smirking, having a feeling she was going to greatly enjoy this trip.
*Takigakure*
A day had passed, since Team Seven arrived at Taki, along with Naruto, Mandy, and Minnie meeting Fū, a Jinchūriki like the twins, who contained the Nanabi inside her.
After everyone woke up, Kakashi said they'd be heading out later in the day, after making sure Shibuki had gotten properly settled in as the Village Leader. The Jōnin then left with Sakura to check on Shibuki, with the twins and Minnie going to meet with Fū, to spend more time with a fellow Jinchūriki before they left.
Now though, the three were currently walking through the village, which they noticed was much emptier and much more quiet than the previous day. It wasn't hard for them to figure out what was going on but acted like nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Minnie, when you see a chance, go and rescue the hostages." Mandy said, knowing that all the villagers were being held captive.
"Yes mother." Replied Minnie.
Not long after, several kunai came flying down from the trees around the trio, all of them having paper bombs attached to them. Before the three could try and escape, the paper bombs detonated, engulfing them in a large explosion.
"AHAHAHAHA! Oh, that was fun, blowing those brats straight to hell! It's just a shame, we couldn't kill them slowly." Kirisame said, his eyes wide with sadistic glee.
"Who cares, I doubt they would have provided us a challenge anyway." Stated Hisame, confident they would have won in a real fight.
"Enough, let's just get back to Suien, to deal with the other Konoha Ninja, and Shibuki." Murasame ordered, wanting to deal with their enemies quickly, so they can claim the Hero's Water.
Nodding, the three Ame Missing-Nin were about to jump off to meet with their leader, only to stop, when they heard a voice.
"Scale Powder!"
Looking around, the three were confused when they didn't see anyone, when a large amount of powder fell down around them. The Missing-Nin then cried out, when the powder reflected the sun's light, and shined brightly in their eyes.
"Damn it! Form up quickly!" Murasame shouted, while covering his eyes.
Only to freeze, when he heard a wet squelching noise, and something being broken. Finally, he opened his eyes again, only to gasp in pain when he felt something stab into his stomach. Looking Murasame saw it was a clawed hand, with his attacker being none other than Naruto, with Mandy standing beside her brother. Both of them now sporting crimson red eyes with slit pupils, clawed hands, elongated canines, and jagged whisker marks.
A quick glance made the Missing-Nin pale in fear and horror, when he saw that Kirisame had his neck snapped, while Hisame's throat was torn open.
"Ho-how are yo-yo-you…alive?" Murasame choked, crying out when Naruto's hand pushed deeper into his stomach, and wrapped around his spine.
"Here's a lesson you should have learned, when you try to kill an enemy, make sure you see a body." Mandy stated, just as Naruto ripped out part of Murasame's spine, killing him.
With the three dead, Naruto and Mandy looked up, and saw Fū with insect wings sprouting from her lower back.
"You're alright!" Fū said, relieved to see her friends were alright.
Not long after they left, she had felt something was off, when she couldn't already hear anything outside. So, Fū had snuck out, only to find the village empty of anyone, aside from the twins and Minnie. Before she could reveal herself, and tell them her suspicions, she saw they had been attacked, and looked like they were blown up.
Thinking her first friends were dead, Fū searched for the one responsible, and planned to make them pay. Only to be relieved when she saw Naruto and Mandy weren't in fact dead.
"No, but it was good if they thought we were, and left themselves open. Though your distraction with that powder helped make things easier. I'm guessing those wings are from the Nanabi." Said Naruto, watching as Fū landed, before her wings sunk back into her body.
"Yeah, they help me get around faster. What about you two, you're already able to control some of the Kyūbi's power?" Fū asked.
"Just a small amount, and we have an understanding actually. Mandy and her half though…" Naruto trailed off, looking at his sister, who smirked wickedly, as she remembered how she and her Kyūbi came to their own "understanding".
*Flashback*
"So, here's your one chance to do things peacefully. Either do what I say, when I say it, give me full access to your Chakra, when the time comes and I can handle the power, and finally, you make no attempt to try and influence me. Is that understood." Mandy said, as she stood on top of Yang Kurama, who was currently pinned to the ground with her Chakra Chains, restraining its arms, legs, and tails, with the fox glaring hatefully at Mandy.
"You little brat! When I get out of these chains, I'll crush every bone in your body, I'll tear you apart piece by piece, before devouring what's left! And once I have taken back my freedom, I'll take great pleasure in murder that worthless runt containing my other half, and I will make sure his suffering lasts for days before I finally kill him!" Kurama roared, angered beyond belief that it wasn't only sealed away again, but that this brat dared restrain it with these accursed chains, like her mother did.
Mandy didn't even blink at the threats, before Kurama roared in pain, when more Chakra Chains appeared, and impale its tails.
"How pathetic, making so many empty threats, and yet no bite behind them. You see fox, you can act tough, declare how strong you are, that you're hatred incarnate, all that typical bullshit. You can do all that, but I see through it, I can see how truly terrified you are of being controlled, of being restrained, of being powerless. Just like you are right now, and how you'll stay, unless I say so. That's why you always spout off about your power, and that you're the strongest Tailed Beast, you don't do it to make others afraid. You do it to hide your own fear at how easily you can be controlled and held captive. You were controlled twice by members of the Uchiha Clan, sealed away three times, along with being restrained by these Chakra Chains and the Mokuton. You aren't strong fox, you are weak to so many things, and soon, you'll be powerless. Because if you don't take my very generous offer, I will rip all your power out of you, leaving you an empty husk to simply fade away and be forgotten, or perhaps I'll keep you around as a pet and show you off. The mighty Kyūbi having been declawed and defanged, reduced to nothing, but a whimpering lap dog. That's what will happen if you don't take my offer, either being a good loyal pet, or one that's beaten into submission. Your choice." Mandy said, walking closer to Kurama's face and looked it directly in the eyes, while the fox looked at her with wide eyes at not only her speech and threats, but the fact that throughout all of it, Mandy maintained her normal, bored expression.
"…Wh-What the hell are you?!" Kurama shouted, now highly freaked out and disturbed by its container.
"I'm just a Pretty. Little. Girl. and you're my pet." Said Mandy, just as another Chakra Chain appeared around Kurama's neck, like a collar.
Hearing her response, Kurama actually let out a whimper of fear.
*End Flashback*
"I simply showed my Kyūbi the new pecking order." Mandy stated, smirking as she remembered how she made the Kyūbi submit to her.
"R-right." Muttered Fū, feeling a little disturbed at what Mandy could have meant by that.
"Anyway, Naruto and I will go help Kakashi and Shibuki deal with the leader. Fū, go after Minnie, and help her free anyone that was taken hostage." Mandy said, with Fū nodding, before jumping away.
While normally, she doesn't really care about the people of Taki, given how they treat her. Fū couldn't deny that she also wanted to finally be accepted and welcomed by them, rather than hated and ridiculed. Maybe by helping in saving them, and protecting the village, could she finally get that chance.
Seeing Fū jump away, Naruto and Mandy traded a look, before jumping away as well, to go help Kakashi and Shibuki.
*Later*
Though it turns out Naruto and Mandy weren't needed, with Kakashi and Shibuki having managed to deal with Suien on their own, without much difficultly.
When they had arrived, they had informed Kakashi of the attack on them, and how they dealt with Suien's teammates, while sending Minnie and Fū to save anyone who was taken hostage. With Kakashi saying he also sent Sakura to save the villagers, as well.
Not long after, Sakura and Fū had arrived with the now freed villagers. However, Naruto and Mandy noticed Fū's downcast expression, while the villagers glared at her venomously. Before they could ask her what was wrong, the villagers surrounded Shibuki, and began shouting.
"Shibuki-sama, you have to do something about that thing!"
"How do we know the bug bitch didn't help those Missing-Nin get into the village?!"
"It can't stay in Taki!"
"Please get rid of that monster, Shibuki-sama!"
Shibuki could only look around at his people with wide eyes at hearing what they were saying about Fū. Looking to said girl, Shibuki winced when he saw she now looked in near tears at what was being said about her, and how she was being blamed. Even worse, when Naruto glared at the villagers, while Mandy sneered.
"Hey assholes! You should be thankful, Fū helped saved your ungrateful asses, when she could have just stood aside with how you all treat her! And if you don't want her here than fine, Fū can come with us back to Konoha, where she'll have people that actually care about her!" Naruto said, glaring at the villagers with red eyes, while Fū looked at him with wide eyes.
"Re-really? You'd do that?" Asked Fū, surprised at the offer.
"Yeah, if these people can't appreciate what you've done, then they don't deserve you." Naruto said, while smiling at his fellow Jinchūriki.
Fū turned back to the villagers glaring at her, looking passed them and at Shibuki, pleadingly. Knowing he was still Taki's leader, and was the only one who could let her leave.
Seeing Fū's expression, Shibuki was torn. On one hand he wanted Fū to be happy, and with people who care about her, but on the other hand, he was still a village leader and Fū was Taki's Jinchūriki. Eventually though, the part of him that wanted Fū to be happy won out, and he nodded at the green-haired girl, who smiled brightly at getting his blessing to leave.
Though her smile dimmed slightly when the villagers started cheering that the demon was finally leaving. Only for them to be silenced when Mandy spoke up.
"You're all idiots, you know that. You just lost one of the only two things that Taki had, that was actually worth anything. In fact, the only reason you idiots had the Nanabi was because the Shodaime Hokage was an even bigger idiot, for giving it to you fools, after you tried sending someone to kill him. Really, if it weren't for the Nanabi or the Hero's Water, Taki would just be another pathetic minor village, stuck forever in the shadow of the Five Major Villages." Mandy stated, making the villagers glare at her for insulting their home.
"Taki is the only real Hidden Village! We actually built it where no one can reach or find us!" One of the Ninja shouted, with the rest of the Ninja and villagers shouting in agreement.
"Yes, congratulations. You built the only real Hidden Village, and kept yourselves safe from enemies, or being invaded. You also made it impossible for any allies to locate, unless they're guided inside, clients can't send missions requests to a village they can't find, meaning no money from missions, thus hurting your economy. Really, the only reason the other villages paid attention to Taki, is because you had the Nanabi, which you just lost. Not even the Hero's Water could you boost Taki's status, since it's a secret, and can only be produced every hundred years, along with shortening the drinkers' lifespan, making it useless to everyone, unless they want to potentially die from drinking it. So really, Taki is less than the other minor villages, yes, congratulations on creating the only real Hidden Village, hidden from the rest of the world, that doesn't give a damn about it. Enjoy wasting your lives away in isolation, you complete and useless dumbasses." Mandy said, before turning on her heel and walking away from the villagers, who now sported shocked and horrified expressions as realization finally dawned on them, while Naruto and Fū walked away with Mandy, smirking at how she completely destroyed any arguments the fools could make.
'One normal mission, that's all I ask for, one mission that goes off without a single problem.' Kakashi thought, covering his face, and shaking his head.
As the three Jinchūriki walked away, Mandy began thinking of what happened with Fū, and how she and her brother had secured her loyalty to them. It gave her an idea of recruiting other Jinchūriki that are hated, or mistreated, by their villages. They'd certainly make for powerful and loyal allies for her plans.
Mandy was pulled from her thoughts when she saw Minnie walk up and join the three.
"Where'd you go?" Naruto asked, looking at his niece, with Minnie smiling mischievously.
"Oh, I was just making sure there weren't any more Missing-Nin hiding in the village. I also grabbed a drink, along the way." Minnie replied, patting her bag, with Mandy smirking at what her daughter meant
'Like mother, like daughter.' Mandy thought, seeing they not only looked alike, but thought alike, as well.
With Minnie having taken the Hero's Water, and Mandy having sent Grim to steal Taki's Forbidden Scroll of Seals, Taki really will have nothing left, once they leave.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we get a look into Asgard and see Billy as the new ruler along with Thor and Loki as his advisers, along with learning how Mandy was reincarnated. Leading to him sending Rossweisse, Brynhildr, and the Valkyrie Trio (the latter two from FGO) along with Freya (Danmachi) to watch over her and her new brother. Meanwhile Team Seven and Minnie in Taki have handled things fairly quickly, along with getting a flashback of Many taming Yang Kurama. Finally we see Fū is going with Naruto and Mandy back to Konoha, along with Mandy verbally tearing apart the Taki villagers and Ninja, along Minnie stealing the Hero's Water and Grim stealing Taki's Forbidden Scroll. So, review if you liked, go away if you didn't.
Storm out
