In a place filled with the stench of blood and corpses that had been ripped to tiny shreds and such other treatment one figure with golden hair and ripped orange clothing stood facing the world with a wicked smile on his face. The figure stood mighty and alone with only his commitment and persistence on his side driving him along, you might even say he was crazy.

Against the young man of twenty years stood five of the legendary figures of the world, The Kages that had surpassed all generations and leading them was the Hokage Uchiha Sasuke his old friend.

"Naruto you can still stop this madness, you have to understand the world does not work like this." Sasuke pleaded his friend; he did not want him to die as he owed him too much.

Even the Kazekage wished for him to give up but it seems death was the only path left, looking at all the destruction the final clash would end in his death as he had already lost most of his powers from the clashed with Otsutsuki.

"You all can go to hell; this world needs me to bring it to justice. It is corrupt and you are its representative, what wrong did I do to kill the filth that you call the daimyos. They have ruled us for too long, even if you kill me this revolution of mine will leave huge scar that will fester and lead to change. I am not afraid of dying never was and never will, come at me dogs." Naruto shout out all the words filled with emotion and conviction.

In the graveyard of thousand Shinobi the once great savior of the world joined the dead leaving behind a legacy that will shine in the future, his children.

In the marine headquarter, Marineford.

You can see a large number of the headquarters' recruit running and training in a wide square while a youth of 13 years was training alone in courtyard separated from everyone.

The youth had black hair and red eyes standing at the height of 1.7 m, with a lithe body that was going through intense physical training that would make anyone give up.

The youth was the one and only Uzumaki Naruto, he had awakened a month ago in weak body of Menma Uzumaki that was an orphan from his parents dying to Pit=rates but because his family had good relation with the marines they had enrolled him in the program to fight for vengeance. Unfortunately the boy drank some unknown water that was one of the treasures of his father which led to Naruto.

When he had awoken Naruto found it very disorienting especially the weak body that was hard to get used to and to make it worse it held to chakra making it a chore to become stronger. Justice has to be served as the world will never be clean until it is within his grasp, so he did not dilly dally and jumped into training like a fish in water.

The month had been fruitful with his training regime and advanced medical knowledge Naruto was able to push his body to break limits continuously brining him to a stage where he was currently satisfied with. But even then it will never be enough as there is no such thing as enough power, more is always preferred. The training had been going on for long so Naruto stopped his body and took a dip in the medical solution he had made through some of the plants available around the region.

"Aaaah that hit the spot, so comfortable." Naruto murmured as he enjoyed the healing and hot water hitting his body.

He remembered his last moment and thought, "Justice is eternal, my dear Kages. It seems fate has another thing in store for me as our world is already in commotion."

To him it was a done deal with his death and deeds it shouldn't take long for his little ones to topple the current system. So it was time to concentrate on the new life and gather subordinates to show the world true justice, where there is evil heroes shall rise.

The current time is eleven years after the great age of pirates. Here is the Marine's headquarter, in this camp almost all recruits are elites. The admirals like Kizaru and Akainu had all started from this training camp.

The world was big but unlike his previous world it was mostly water, the islands were tiny and so it was not a surprise when islands disappeared in the violent clash of the strong. As he had lost Chakra meaning all jutsu became useless but luckily he never just focused on jutsus and trained with weapons and good old body to fight. He had chosen a good spear, a gun and sniper for training as his chosen weapons as he wanted to cover all bases along with some chains and daggers.

He had learned through some gossip about the marine martial arts that was seemingly exceptional so it had piqued his interest and snippets about Haki but he needed to wait until he could ask a master. After relaxing and eating he took a short nap, and woke up before dawn to train.

In the courtyard golden sunlight spilled down, filling the world with vitality. At this point Naruto's body was covered with sweat, He was breathing heavily as if he reached the limit of his body.

He was doing the most simple and basic squat training. His sweat made the ground wet and he was breathing heavily but still saying a number every time he squat down.

4201 … 4202 …

His legs turned numb He almost couldn't feel them but still gritted his teeth and continued he want to break his limit.

4353 … 4354 …

Once again he tried to stand up but only got halfway then fell down, no longer being able to stand and could only try to restore his breath as his healing factor which was very small now that he had no chakra was hard at work. But even then he was still thankful for the small things and just relaxed his legs that had weights attached to them, a total of 2 tonnes was on his body for now and he had long way to go to his goal of 1 mil tonnes that he could take before with his physical body.

Although his body was extremely tired his spirit wasn't exhausted at all since he could feel the growth with everyday his body broke through to a new level.

He could bear all kind of pain for the required strength.

In the Month that Naruto had trained most of the recruits had completely forgot about him and in this month a message like wild fire spread out in the entire camp.

"Have you heard about it? The actual combat assessment is about to begin."

" Of course, I heard all the training from before is for this combat assessment … and it's said if anyone get's first or if your performance is good you'd be able to get in the elite camp and be trained by admiral Z."

Recruits talked about and admired former admiral Z, they couldn't help but show worship and respect for him. The Marine's are not a nursing home, they fight the pirates and especially the elites in the headquarter.

So the Marine would organize an assessment, an actual combat assessment that is moderated by the admirals and all recruits have to participate.

The camp is divided into an ordinary camp and an elite one. There are about 10 groups for the ordinary camp led by 10 instructors and the elite camp had only one group.

Through this program the highest rank after graduation for the elite camp is captain and the lowest is Lieutenant Commander and the most important thing is that the elite camp's instructor is former admiral Z.

Entering into the elite camp is like a dream for all recruits because all the Marine current admirals trained under Z in the elite camp.

Everyone was excited thinking about this and there are some people who already know that they don't have a chance so they discussed who from the recruits will enter the elite camp.

"I estimate that Drake from the 5th group will be first"

"Drake? … Yes no one can win against him. His is far too strong. I heard that he killed a giant bear with his hands."

Talking about it, the man couldn't help but feel fear, as even if all of them are recruits but the strongest in each group can easily beat other recruits.

And even the strongest from the 8th group lost to X Drake's, there is no doubt he's the strongest this year.

"Yes Drake is the strongest but can he still be in the elite camp".

Hearing this someone from the crowd couldn't help but laugh, "Strongest? Didn't you know that all those in the elite camp are monsters?"

Next people looked at each other as most of them didn't know anything about the elite camp, so everyone's eyes were directed at the one who spoke.

That recruit seeing that many eyes are looking at him, took a deep breath and turned serious and said "It is said that the current elite camp's strongest is someone called Smoker and he has the Moku Moku no Mi."

"Do you know what that means?" after a moment of silence they all understood what he meant.

"Isn't that the strongest type of devil fruit the Logia? Is there anyone who can win against him?"

"If this is true then I think no one could win against him."

In the courtyard Naruto continued to train while the people gossiped and id the training at their own pace. He had grown and he was confident that he would achieve a satisfactory result to catch Admiral Z's eyes.

The next day in front of the huge harbor in the Marineford, Large warships were docked there and the Groups of recruits were boarding them. A total of ten large warships, each were filled with one group from the ordinary camp and in addition to recruits there were five vice admirals boarding with them.

Although they are only from the ordinary camp but they have the chance to join the elite camp in the future. So when they go to carry out the assessment, headquarter sent five vice admirals to ensure their safety.

Soon warships started leaving the harbor and headed to the sea. But the strange thing is that only nine out of ten ships left and the last one was still there docked on the shore with no sign of leaving.

The recruits in that warship were quiet but after some time they began to get restless usually the ships would leave at the same time but what happened now.

Some people frowned and muttered.

"When do we start?"

"Other team started what about us?"

Many of the recruits were dissatisfied although things didn't turn chaotic but they still began talking while Naruto mediated by the side.

Although Naruto had been gone for a month but most people still recognized him and when Drake saw Menma he thought.

"This guy … He has become stronger."

Before Drake wasn't concerned about Naruto but once he saw him at the moment he felt the need to change his perception about the weak kid. Although it seems that Naruto had become a lot stronger, Drake did not particularly care.

Originally he was the worst of all in the camp eve if he changed what can a month of experience change.

In the next moment all the faces with dissatisfaction instantly disappeared.

Because all the officers in the warship were saluting including the Vice admiral and over there two man dressed in Marine attire were walking slowly side by side and in the eyes of the crowd countless look of worship and reverence appeared.

One of them is Garp while the other walking step by step raising a majestic momentum with every step was Admiral Z.

"He is the Marineford new elite camp instructor but also … Former Marine admiral"

"No wonder they will wait here, they were originally waiting for admiral Z and vice admiral Garp."

When Recruits saw Garp and Z their dissatisfied faces disappeared.

To have Z and Garp watching, the vice admiral looked at the recruits and said.

" Vice admiral Garp and The chief instructor Z will personally watch so give them a good performance."

"Yes."

The recruit were very excited at being personally watched by their heroes, only Naruto showed indifference as it didn't matter much if they watched personally or not but the first meeting really showed him that people in this world were also strong or else he might really have no hope of growing strong as he wanted.

The warship finally left with full speed and soon there was only the sea nothing else.

This place had many sea kings and from time to time you could see those huge kings come out from a distance and then return back into the water.

This large ship had a turbo power. So it can easily sail without wind and even if they didn't have the turbo they still have Garp and Z.

After a while they arrived at a small island which was one of many small islands that formed an archipelago. Those islands had various plants and from time to time there will sound a roar from deep within one of the islands.

The other nine warships were docked in different places and soon the warship that Naruto was riding stopped at the edge of the archipelago in a small island.

"This is where you will have your assessment"

After docking the vice admiral spoke to all recruits while Garp and Z didn't show up.

"In this island … are there pirates?"

The recruit looked at the island while hearing the roars coming from it and felt some fear.

The vice General sneered, "Fight pirates? You are too tender. Pirates are extremely cruel. This place is more suitable for this examination."

"Your mission is to fight and kill every monster in this place within three days. There is no limit to weapon except for heavy weapons. So firearms are ok ".

"Hunting each creature will give you some points. The strong monster will give more point then the weaker ones. You can hunt as a team but the points will be divided equally between all the members."

The Vice admiral said and suddenly everything quieted down.

The vice admiral was mostly satisfied with that reaction and after some time continued," This Island is full of surveillance equipment including the sky."

"These monitoring devices will serve as a recording to everything you kill also if someone faces a crisis we will send someone for his rescue. But he will be disqualified."

"But …" The admiral said solemnly "This still cannot guarantee the safety of everyone. If one of you were to encounter the strongest monster here he will be crashed before help could get to him."

"Check for the time so will regroup after three days from now. I wish you Good luck."

Ordinary marine courses didn't carry such practical assessment. But the recruits in the Marineford as the elite of the Marine have to go through this baptism. As they say: without going through blood and fire elites won't be born.

Soon all recruits were on the island, most of them were carrying guns and some carried swords or other type of weapon like Drake and Naruto.

Drake only took a sword and an axe and Naruto was heavily armed that people thought he was afraid and would die with that much weight and no experience with the weapons.

"Hey did you come here to die?"

Hina also looked at this scene, She couldn't stay still so she reminded him" Hina suggests that you give up. This examination will be very dangerous for you."

Hina suddenly said that but it took a moment to remember who she was and replied, "Thanks for our care but I am confident in my abilities to pass."

Although she wanted him to reconsider she felt his determination and nodded, "Take care."

She didn't say anymore and just ran into the forest and Naruto also took his own path.

In the dense forest Naruto moved forward cautiously with his daggers on hand for any threat. The Island was quite small if we look at all the archipelago but still it was as big as the forest of death.

Except for the beginning Naruto didn't encounter any of the recruits after going into the forest. Naruto tried to find the monitoring devices and found them but decided to ignore them. "This archipelago should be manmade, especially made for this examination." Naruto thought.

Naruto found traces while walking indicating that the forest had been moved here which means that the creatures were specially selected for the examination.

Naruto kept on walking until the place had seemed to be unnaturally silent and suddenly a pair of eyes appeared behind him. The creature was 2 m tall and was like a mix of human and cow, a Minotaur he thought but did not have any intelligence.

The next moment the wild beast that was staring with blood-red eyes at Naruto rushed suddenly in his direction intending to pierce him with its horns but Naruto moved out of the with ease as he had already left his weights at the camp.

"Bang" It collided with a tree and before it could get back to attacking, Naruto jumped up to attack with an axe kick on to its spine.

The Minotaur roared in fury at the damage but it was still moving, the wound was not enough and it was free. The creature charged him again wanting to tear him apart with its hands but unfortunately it was too slow so Naruto danced around it and threw two daggers at full strength which broke the sound barrier and pierced it eyes. Even then it still held on "You are really a tough customer" Naruto muttered as he approached it and punched it on the heart area.

The beast fell dead once his fist collided with its flesh, as the force travelled to its heart destroying it. "That should give me high points, Minotaur aren't easy to deal with their high durability and strength." Naruto muttered as he took the horns for future use, as he had planned to get some materials, Naruto walked around again looking for a place to make his base.

"Menma Uzumaki Killed level 2 monster: Minotaur."

The monster in the island were classified by five levels and the strongest being level 5. A monster of the fifth level would be stronger than most elite recruits

Each level has a different score and the highest level gave 5 points.

While looking at the screen, Z could see the whole process of Naruto playing around with opponent.

"His power is good and maybe better than most of the camp recruits. It seems this child has changed a lot in a month. He really has high potential to achieve this much within a month, what do you think Garp?"

Z looked at Garp by his side, who just laughed at seeing a recruit actually rely on brute force, "I like him, my kind of guy."

"Hmm, let's watch more he has shown some skill but only the accumulation of three days will decide his future." Z muttered as he was used to talented people and even taught the three current admirals himself.

As he finished taking the horns Naruto felt danger approaching, he quickly jumped on to the tree and saw a giant bunny with long arms approaching.

"Man what's up with these weird ass animals." He muttered and took aim, and threw a dagger.

The dagger traveled very fast directly for the approaching beast's eye but it seemed to have sensed it coming and blocked it with its arm. It looked over where it came to find Naruto who was planning to throw more but suddenly the beast accelerated to insane speed and jumped high with its arms extended.

Naruto quickly jumped away from the place as he saw the beast hammer the place with its hands crushing it but it didn't want to give him any opportunity and followed.

The thing was fast and close to his level making it hard to fight it unfortunately it lacked combat skills. Naruto quickly took off the chains on his body and as he was passing by tress close by he threw the chains on both sides and the sharp ends were deeply embedded into the trees. The trees provided camouflage for the chains so that when the beast followed him it collided with the chains damaging its chest with the force of collision.

He followed it with his spear, spinning it and piercing the enemy through the heart as it fell. The body crashed into the ground while Naruto was on top of it and took out his spear that had sign of getting damaged. "Damn the thing was troublesome and even destroyed some of my daggers. It would be good if I could tame one like it, it really is something."

Z and Garp weren't concerned before but once they saw the bunny which was a level 4 monster the worried a bit but seeing Naruto's expression devoid of fear or concern they rained themselves to watch the battle.

"That was done very well, the beast had the advantage in physical except speed and he really showed some critical thinking ability." Z said as he looked at the screen.

In the forest Naruto sat down to take a breath and rest after such hard battles. But then he heard a sound from the bushes by the side.

"Come out!"

He knew it was not a beast but was surprised to the beautiful pink haired girl, Hina.

The girl that had warned him about danger of the island, he had good impression of her so he was not worried she might be up to something devious.

Hina wasn't far away and when she heard sound made by a battle she directly came over. Her hands were on the gun she looked vigilant while coming out of the bushes just to see a dead Antylamon. She froze for a moment then looked extremely shocked. 'Isn't this one of the strongest monster in island?'

Hina was different then Naruto. She not only had an early understanding of the combat assessment but also at the monster that may appear on the island. Maybe she won't remember the weak monsters but she wouldn't mistake the strong ones.

For a long time Hina stayed still. Because she focused on the brown back ape she didn't pay attention to Naruto until she recovered from the shock. When she recovered she looked Naruto and asked while showing her surprise

"How?"

Naruto just pointed at his spear.

When she saw what he pointed at she knew he had done it, "Hina apologizes for thinking you were too weak to survive and congrats on the kill, it's one of the strongest monsters here."

Hina thought to herself that even if she encountered a level 3 monster she could only retreat not to mention this level 4 beast, her view of Naruto had transformed in just a moment.

"Why don't you sit down and join me for a meal, this looks strong it should provide us with required nutrients." Naruto said as got up and started dismantling the corpse to barbecue it.

"Thanks, Hina was feeling hungry and would have to hunt again with this feeling."

"No problem. Having company is always welcome, do wish to join my group we can work together and later after the training as well. You seem like a nice and honest person, and I like people like that." Naruto said without much thought speaking honest opinion.

"Hina will think about." Hina muttered looking at the somewhat attractive male in front of her.

"But shouldn't we move or else this will attract many beasts to this place." Hina said after thinking about the situation.

"Don't worry, that's what I intend to. It's better than looking for them."

"Are you confident in such a claim, Hina might have to re-consider your sanity."

"Haha, if you want you can leave you know but that is a choice to be made and will decide everything for later."

Hina thought about the words carefully and realized what it meant, "Ok, Hina will trust you but once the situation looks terrible Hina is running without looking back."

The duo ate in silence while Naruto played around with plants to prepare for the enemies. After an hour or so a bloody Roar suddenly came out from the surroundings.

Almost on instinct Hina readied her sword and pistol, looking around while Naruto got up and gave her a something to chew on. He then threw some powder into the surroundings which he said was paralyzing poison.

"Get ready, let the slaughter party start." Naruto said with excitement.

Hina looked at the bushes and a giant wolf three or four time larger than a normal one came out with many following behind . It was a Level 3 monster, Giant Green Wolf.

Hina could feel the pressure form the situation but looking at his back assured her that they can fight and so the fight for survival or just points started until dawn leaving corpse lying here and there. The duo had disappeared from the scene to cleanse themselves to not attract a level 5 beast or group of level 4's.

Three days passed by fast and the time for the assessment was finally over. The Marine's siren resounded all over the island. So all recruits stopped their actions and walked out of the forest.

The numbers of monsters in the forest were significantly reduced and in the last day almost all low leveled monsters disappeared and the other more powerful monster were hunted by teams of recruits and killed together.

Gradually the recruits began to come out of the forest and most people had their clothes torn apart.

This time there were no casualties but most of them were only injured.

This is far better than fighting against pirate's and if they really did fight with pirates in this combat assessment then probably there will be high level of casualties.

Soon half a day passed and the warships finally returned to headquarter.

In the square Of the Marineford, In addition to some heavily injured recruits all the other recruits were gathered here. Seeing that the announcement of the result still didn't appear, all the recruits started whispering.

"How many did you hunt?"

"I killed at least three level 3 monsters as for level 1 and 2, I killed too many that I don't know."

"I hunted a Level 4 monster."

Another recruit said in disdain as each level between monster mean that its strength is many times stronger and many times the score too.

This sentence made many of the surrounding recruits surprised and many revealed trace of envy as they didn't meet any level 4 monsters and even if they did they could only escape.

"Hey who do you think will come first?"

"It must be Drake as I heard that he killed a level 5 monster."

Hearing this most recruits breathed cold air, Drake was too strong.

He is absolutely getting into the elite camp.

Many people looked at Drake and couldn't help revealing an expression of awe.

And at this time foot step could be heard so all the recruits quieted down and all of them looked up.

"Scores has been counted, your actual assessment result will be published now."

All the recruits stared fixedly at the curtain to see their own name and see their achievement. Some people were relieved and some weren't willing to look.

And after seeing their own result the recruits started to look up and they still didn't find the name they want to find.

Those recruits were surprised suddenly a voice came.

"I will read the top ten names of the recruits."

Standing there the rear admiral said in a serious tone and then he signaled to the Marines behind him to put down the curtain and the snail, and took out a list.

The recruits began to hear familiar names.

"Tenth, Saul!"

"Ninth, Hugh!"

"…"

Continuously reading the names, the recruits didn't seem surprised. Apparently they expected the same.

"Fourth, Hughes!"

With the ranking getting higher and higher the tone of the rear admiral started to slow down too and after he finishes saying a name he paused.

Hearing the name Hughes, the recruits seemed to be surprised as they didn't expect him to be fourth.

Hughes is strong and should've been able to enter the top three.

"It might be a little strange."

The rear admiral ignored their discussion and his eyes swept in front of the recruits and continued to read.

"Third, Drake!"

When this name was out all recruits turned silent, not only that Drake himself was stunned.

Drake … Is just third place.

Drake didn't use all of his strength but even so to be in the third place is out of his expectations.

"Hey, is this a joke?"

"Isn't there a mistake?"

For them Drake was already recognized as the strongest and not just the fifth group strongest But all the ordinary camp groups.

And now that Drake is ranked third?

There has to be something wrong.

"Quiet down!"

The rear admiral saw that the situation was going out of control frowned and yelled loudly.

The rear admiral facing those eyes he smiled a bit in his heart although he looked serious but in fact when he first looked at the result he also couldn't calm down.

"Second, Hina!"

After this declaration all the recruit had surprise in their eyes and couldn't believe this.

"Hina scored more than Drake?"

"Although Hina is strong but … More than Drake. This is not possible right?"

Many recruits had an incredible look on their faces.

However In the fifth group other then Drake there is also Hina and her scoring more than Drake was still a possibility.

Just … Who come in first place then?

All the recruits had a name that came to their mind which wasn't on the list and wasn't announced either but then rejected the idea.

"The first place … Menma!"

Silence.

Dead silence.

It was silent that if you dropped a pin you could hear it touch the floor.

All the recruits looked at each other .They all suspected that they didn't hear right and wanted to confirm.

They wanted to riot at this news as it seemed impossible but they realized Menma had no connections and might have been hiding his abilities to make a show.

"The first one Menma come with me."

"Yes."

Naruto was really excited to finally learn something that will show him the path to the strength he desired. He had long wanted practice Haki and that now was possible as Z will guide him in that aspect.

After nodding, Naruto directly followed behind Z.

Z with Naruto entered a small looking practice field at the side of the square and closed the door.

In the small room there were only two people present, Naruto and Z.

"Who trained you?"

Standing in front of Naruto, Z asked.

"No one, I trained by myself"

"Hmm, you are a talented boy indeed if you can do such without any formal training."

"Thank you but I will be happy to receive instructions about Haki and Rokushiki."

Hearing Naruto mentioning Haki, Z's eyes flashed. In his view the boy was qualified to learn Haki already.

So Z simply told Naruto the method of training in Haki.

Haki practice isn't something one can learn instantly. He will need to train step by step with Z's personal guidance. After talking a bit about Haki Z paused a bit so that Naruto could remember and understand what he said then continued to speak.

"Before learning Haki I suggest you learn About the Marine six powers." Z said that and Naruto nodded in agreement.

As Naruto's attention was on him, Z demonstrated the different techniques and then gave simple explanation for the different techniques.

A.N Hope you enjoyed and comment

yes, this was inspired by a chinese fanfic so the beginning is similar and changes after awhile to a completely different direction as i didn't bother reading more than 20 chapters.
