Brief History
(This is the time after Naruto's mysterious death when he was the 6thHokage) Years later, the peaceful treaties between shinobi nations ended, villages went to war, and the collapse of the ninja empires began as technologies begin to develop.
Soon an organization called GUARDIAN took control, people with power ruled the organizations as anyone born with the chakra abilities were soon taken to be used as soldiers. Bloodlines became confiscated, clans and cultures had died and slowly the world changed. Centuries later, the world was booming with technology, swords, guns, and chakra, and they were held by people of power.
Everything had changed, clan members were feared for their power, they wielded armor and weapons far advance than those who were considered normal. The economy proved brutal for normal folks, those who couldn't perform any simple chakra techniques were looked down on, and many laws were made, biased against the normals. They revolted but against the power filled government…they didn't stand a chance…
It changes now…
A cloaked figure ran through the streets, escaping the temple palace as the people looked on in irritation as the figure passed by.
"Quickly, over here," a young boy signaled the figure over as he looked around. It was night time, nothing good happens at night.
The boy,quickly taking the figure's hand, rushed off, down the dark streets. Buildings towered over them as the bright billboards lighted their way. They shifted and turned in to an alley as they spotted a patrol car breeze past them. The boy looked out ahead as the light shone on his dark red hair, "how long until they notice your escape?" He asked.
The figure looked up from under the cloak, revealing her face as her pale eyes stared at the boy in worry, "I-I don't know."
Suddenly sirens could be heard as the holographic vid screens high up in the buildings flashed red; it was a code alert as people soon rushed to get inside.
'Crap, they figured it out,' Quickly he grabbed her hand as her hood fell, her short blackish hair, pale white eyes, and the bead on her forehead marked her from the Hyuuga nobility.
"Follow me, we're close by the safe house," he brought out a small rectangle item from his pouch, quickly pressing the side button as it unfolded into a small bladed dagger as a bluish glow tinted off the metal, he took another look around before leading the way, "let's go princess."
They rushed through the dark streets, watching out for hover patrols, or searching drones. Quickly, they made their way down the street, going through alleys and cutting their way through fences; finally reaching the public travel station. They waited patiently as both of them nervously shifted, waiting for the mecha rails.
"Shiro," she spoke, watching the entrance as a Mech-rail went by. For a brief moments as it passed, a deafening noise echoed throughout the place as Shiro turned back to the Hyuuga princess.
When the noise died she spoke, "Who will come?"
He nodded before turning back to the tracts, "The resistance will meet us; they have their own mech-rail on their way." He glanced back at her and gave a reassuring smile, "Princess Nukumi, I will sacrifice my life for your safety."
She smiled briefly at the boy's words as they waited. Those who controlled chakra were taken the moment they were born; they grew up as soldiers serving the government GUARDIAN.
But she was different, she was from the Hyuuga Bloodline, she was taken to the palace to be raised by the nobles of her kind. Those with bloodlines were the most special soldiers, often commanding armies or selected as leaders in this world. So far, GUARDIAN was made up of five main heads, each contained a bloodline and each controlled a city, often meeting when a huge decision is needed. This city was under the control of the Hyuuga Lord. She had seen him only once in her life, but when she saw him, his armor gleamed unnaturally in the sun light as he held on to his helmet on his side. He only briefly looked at her before placing the helmet back on and leaving, the power that vibrated from him was nothing she ever imagined and for anyone to face the five rulers that where just like him…she was scared.
Waiting there, she remembered meeting the boy in the palace, he was a soldier in training but one day when they both had wandered off, they met in the gardens, chatted, and soon became fast friends. At first it was awkward because of her eyes, the boy dared not to refuse talking to her but slowly, he got over it, only when things where dangerous did he start calling her princess again.
Through the years, she had observed the people and observed their life under the laws that offered little help. She wanted to end this, to stop the cruelty, everyone should be able to do what they are allowed, and they shouldn't be suppressed or controlled. Shiro had agreed with her, in training, he was never allowed to slack off, never allowed to show weakness. He was taught to obey his superiors, never talk back…and to die was the greatest honor he could give to his country. When he had met Princess Nukumi, he was surprised at her kindness, most royalties tended to ignore you; they had talked, gotten to know each other until she asked him about his parents. Then he told her he never knew them, she looked at him in sadness and he felt something pull at him from the inside.
One day when they met again, she had told him what she felt about this world, how unfair it was…so he went digging for outside contact and found someone who could help them. Sure he had to give up a few secrets but he agreed with the princess, he would follow her anywhere.
Now they waited to meet them.
He looked up as he heard the slow hovering sound of a mech-rail stopping, bringing his dagger up, he watched as the rail stopped and the door opened. Men wearing white robes, carrying guns rushed out, securing the area as one stood near the entrance.
A tall figure, his cloak was as white as the rest but the insignia of the resistance was braided on his back, two swords laid attached behind him as he held his own automatic gun. "Hurry, they know you've escaped," he signaled them inside as they complied and rushed in.
On the inside, they sat in the sides as the soldiers returned. The seem-to-be leader sat next to them as the rail started moving. "We will protect you from here on out," he looked at them with his brown eyes as light glinted off his bald head, "What you are doing, we are honored to have you, not many chakra users even try to help us." He looked on in gloom, "We are slowly losing this war but maybe with your help, we might turn the tides."
Nukumi and Shiro looked at him in surprise, "What will you do?" Shiro asked as the man seemed unsure.
"We found an ancient summoning scroll," they were surprised at this, scrolls belonged only to the higher ranking members, "It summons demon foxes…"
"W-what!?" Nukumi spoke out in surprise, "but how, I've never heard of such a scroll."
He grinned, "I know, we were excited too once we found it…" then his smile widened when he stared at the two figures, "And now we have the summoners."
They looked at them in dawning realization, "You don't have many people who could use chakra on your side…but with us, you'll have enough to be able to summon the strongest demon."
He nodded, but Shiro was unsure, "How will you know it will obey you?"
"It must," he looked sadly on, "I don't know much about summoning scrolls, but surely they would listen to anyone who summons them." Shiro looked at Nukumi as she shook her head, she didn't know much about summoning scrolls, only high ranking soldiers received them but they always seem to listen to the masters.
They rode in silence as lights passed through the window in high speed, "I'm sorry, I never told you my name," the man spoke, "its Zeto." They told him their names in return as the monitor spoke, "it will be pitch black for a moment and we will be entering the compound soon."
Once the lights went out, the windows glowed as the brightest light shot through it; the group spotted a red waved of light passing through the entire rail, it was a scan.
Once it was through, they felt the ride stop as the doors opened, the soldiers exited as Zeto guided them, "Welcome to our base."
They looked in wonderment at the large base, machines and controls were everywhere as men holding guns or swords were seen guarding, carefully watching them.
"Zeto! You've brought them," an old man wearing glasses spoke out in excitement, "Hurry, I suspect they might be on to us," he turned to the two of them, "Quickly this way, this way, the others are prepared." he spoke energetically as he gently pushed the teenage warriors towards a direction.
Zeto shook his head but he was also excited like everyone else who knew of their plan, it was finally coming forth, "Don't mind Hagatsu," Zeto spoke to the confused duo, "we are all excited, you have to forgive us but we have been planning this for months after we found it, and having a Hyuuga and a trained soldier to help us well…" he didn't finish as Shiro and Nukumi understood.
After reassuring the old man that they could walk, they were lead through the compound by Hagatsu with Zeto and two guards following. Shiro had observed the surroundings; there was a weapon's room, training room, command center, medical rooms, and so on; literally, a whole army resided down here. This place must be the main camp in the Hyuuga city; the local military had a hard time trying to find the whereabouts of this place and now here he was, helping them.
They stopped in front of a huge gate as Hagatsu nodded to the guards in the controls, soon cranking could be heard until the gate split open and clouds bursted out. Getting a clear view of the room, they saw three more figures before entering. Two young women and a young man both stood there, around the summoning scroll in the center.
"Alright, both of you take positions over there on the symbol," Hagatsu pointed to the corner of the seal on the floor which had a small symbol which marked the spots. The other three were sitting or standing on a similar yet different symbol.
As soon as they each stepped on it, they felt a tug in their body as Hagashi and the others left, closing the gate.; the intercom spoke, "you may feel a slight pull in your body but don't mind it, the seal is working on gathering your chakra. This requires a lot of chakra to work," Shiro briefly saw the lights flicker in the room as things got quiet, turning his head, he stared at Nukumi and tried to offer a reassuring smile…it worked as she smiled back, "Alright, I need you to concentrate on your chakra into the palm of your hand, and when the light turns green…slam it into the seal you are on, it should work afterwards."
They nodded as the room suddenly darkened.
…
"Sir," a regular soldier wearing a scanner helmet spoke to the man in front of him. The man looked on lazily as he brushed his plated shoulders, "It's confirmed, the resistance in this city should be underneath these grounds."
The man briefly glanced around the area; an abandoned factory was what was left of the place as his men prepared to blast a hole in the ground. After confirming the ground scans that there was something underneath here, they sent a tiny digger drone to find anything…he was surprised on what he had found, more like what he had heard.
'A demon fox contract,' an evil chuckle escaped his lips, 'this is my lucky day.' he snapped his fingers as the soldiers wearing black armor, equipped with guns stood attention.
"Get ready," he smiled proudly, "and watch how a real warrior handles this, he disappeared in the wind as the men went to re-check their equipment and prepared to bust in.
…
"Get ready," the speaker spoke as the figures concentrated on their chakra…the light flickered for the moment as everyone paused, staring into the room waiting and wondering what would happen…the light turned green, and they slammed their hands to the ground.
…
"Now," the voice spoke as the soldiers detonated the bomb, blowing a hole into the layer of the resistance.
…
Naruto Uzumaki stood on top of the Hokage Monument, staring into his village as he remembered back into his past. The people he loved, the friends that he lost, and those who were alive now. A new battle was approaching, he could sense it; the Great Ninja Villages had been tense recently, only time will tell when a war would break out.
'Hmmp, what's this?' Kyuubi awoken his eyes as he felt something wrong, he could feel himself changing, something was pulling him but he didn't know what. He fought against it, trying to control it but he knew it wouldn't last, it was quickly growing all over him, "Dammit, what is this!?" Kyuubi yelled out loud.
Naruto gasped as he felt a painful jerk on his stomach, he fell to his knees as he clenched on to his stomach, "W-what is this pain?" he gritted his teeth once it became worse.
The anbu guards watching quickly went to his sides as one sent out orders to secure the perimeter. They held on to him, "Lord Hokage!? What's wrong?" one asked, watching as his leader seemed to have been attacked.
"I-I don't know," he yelled out in pain as the anbu guards became startled, each quickly rushed to his side as they noticed that whitish chakra glowing around their leader.
One Anbu reached for it, only to get burned once they touched it as they quickly pulled back their hand, a little smoke emerged from the damage. "Don't touch it," he told them as they backed away; whatever was attacking their leader, it must have to do with that strange chakra…they could only watch in horror as the white chakra glowed brighter until it flashed and blinded everyone around the Hokage…then, he was gone.
