Blacklight Returns

Hey guys its Falling Reach with another chapter of Blacklight Returns. Sorry about the WAY too long wait, but I wasn't really sure how to make this chapter go. I've changed it so many times in my head. I'm just going to start it and see where we end up. Also, for thse of you who were wondering, yes Alex and Naruto will be going by code names, but only on missions and when in the presence of other hidden village shinobi. Alex will stick with Zeus and Naruto will be Ares. I'm debating whether or not to have Konan and Ao go by code names as well. If I do decide to do it, Konan will be Athena and Ao will be Kronos. Their team will already have about ten C-rank missions under their belts so this chapter will make more sense. Oh and incase you don't already know, I've made a few changes to chapter 3, if you haven't already done so, go back and check it out. Also, Mei and Tsunade have made a brand new alliance between Kiri and Konoha, and that's going to have a major effect in this chapter.

Chapter 4: Troubles in Nami, Return of the virus and an Unexpected Reunion

"Alright team, Mizukage-sama wants to see us about a mission." Ao stated.

"Do you know anything about the mission sensei?" Konan asked curiously.

"Other than it will take us out of the village, not a thing." Ao said. With that team 1 made their way to the Mizukage's office. When they arrived, Ao knocked on the door. They heard a muffled "Come in," and entered. Mei looked up from whatever she happened to be reading to see Team 1 and smiles, not the creepy smile all men fear, a normal smile.

"Ah, Team 1 just the people I wanted to see." She said.

"Team 1 reporting as requested Mizukage-sama." Ao said as the team saluted her. She returned it.

"Okay Ao, no need to be so serious all the time. Now, the Hokage has sent a request for help to us about a mission one of her teams is on. It was originally classified as a C-rank mission to protect a bridge builder named Tazuna on his way home to Nami from bandits. It has since escalated to a high B-rank low A-rank mission. This change was caused by the Demon Brother, two missing nin from here, attacking them with the bridge builder being the obvious target. The team's sensei sent in a request for reinforcements and Tsunade-dono decided to ask us for help seeing as we'd know the most about them and their allies. Now, your mission is to go to the team's location and aid them in completing their mission. Also if possible, convince any other Kiri missing nin that you encounter on this mission to return to us. You leave as soon as you are able to, dismissed." Mei explained. The team nodded and exited her office.

"Okay team, meet up at the main gate in exactly three hours." Ao said getting a nod from his students.

With Team 7

Currently team seven was sitting by a fire that they made on the side of the road. Kakashi was reading his book, Naruko was studying a scroll, Sasuke was brooding as usual and Sakura was fawning over Sasuke. Finally Sasuke couldn't stand it anymore.

"Kakashi-sensei, why do we have to wait for reinforcements? We have everything we need in terms of power with me on our team! We should just keep going!" He said.

"I agree with Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said.

"You two are idiots. The Demon Brothers are know acomplaces of Zabuza Momochi, who is known as Kirigakure no Kijin for what he did to pass his Genin exam. In Kiri, in order to pass the exam you have to kill one of your classmates. Zabuza didn't stop at one he killed every single one of them. He's also a member of the Seven Swordsmen of Kirigakure easily making him an A-rank ninja." Naruko said before Kakashi could, "The smart thing to do is to wait for reinforcements."

Time Skip

Team 1 was currently running at top speed toward the Konoha team's location. Naruto and Alex both stopped right as they got the team's scent.

"They're right up ahead." Alex called. They continued forward until a campfire came into view. They looked around for the team but didn't see them anywhere. Just then Alex and Naruto activated their shield arms deflectting a volley of kunai and shuriken. As they deactivated their arms, the Konoha team came out ready to fight. When Naruto noticed that his sister was on the team he mentally groaned.

"Who are you? Why have you come here?" The team's sensei asked.

"We're the back up sent from Kiri." Ao said, "My name is Ao and this is my team."

"I'm Zeus." Alex said.

"Ares." Naruto said.

"I'm Konan." Konan said.

The Konoha team seemed to relax and put their weapons away.

"I'm Kakashi Hatake and this is my team." Kakashi said.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke said with an expectant smirk. When the Kiri team didn't react, he grew angry and growled.

"Don't you know to bow to your supiriors!" He yelled. Naruto scoffed.

"Kid, you have no athority over us and we're all the same rank. I don't bow to anyone but a higher ranking member of my village and the Mizukage." He said. This pissed Sasuke off even more.

"Sasuke enough!" Kakashi yelled.

"Sorry about that, I'm Naruko Uzumaki." Naruko said bowing slightly.

"I'm Sakura Haruno." Sakura said.

"Well now that that's out of the way why don't we get moving." Ao said. Everyone agreed and they continued on their way to Nami. When they reached the border between Hi no Kuni and Nami no Kuni, Naruto and Alex stiffened. This was noticed by everyone except Sakura.

"Ares, Zeus what's wrong?" Ao asked.

"Its not possible, there's just no way!" Naruto yelled as he and Alex turned around just as a pack of Brawlers jumpped out of the forest, "The virus shouldn't even be around!"

"Well obviously it is possible! I mean I killed all the Brawlers the first time!" Alex said.

"Would one of you two please explain just what the hell is going on?" Ao yelled.

"These things are called Brawlers. At one time they were normal humans, but they were infected with the Blacklight Virus and mutated into the form you see now. The thing is, the Blacklight Virus shouldn't even exsist anymore." Naruto said, "Alex destroyed it years ago!"

"So somehow its back?" Naruko asked.

"Yes, all of you take the client and get across the border, Alex and I will handle this." Naruto said.

"Tch, you'd probably screw it up. Leave these things to me and Uchiha elite!" Sasuke said as his hands blurred through hand signs, "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!"

The fireball hit the Brawlers and exploded making Sasuke think he had won, but that thought was destroyed when the Brawlers came charging through the smoke and debris. Alex and Naruto jumpped in front of Sasuke and activated their shield-wall arms just as the Brawlers were about to hit Sasuke. This caused the spikes on them to stab into the Brawlers and push them back.

"Get out of here! Now! We can handle this!" Naruto yelled as he and Alex morphed their arms into blade form. The others didn't need to be told twice as they bulted toward the border. Naruto and Alex engaged the Brawlers and were forced to fight back to back so they didn' get hit from behind. Alex sliced one of them in half while Naruto disembowled two others. The last two charged at them. Naruto and Alex charged as well. They each ended up on the opposite side of the battle field in their attack stance. Suddenly the Brawlers gushed a fountain of blood before falling over dead. Naruto and Alex both had some wounds on their bodies so they consumed the bodies of the Brawlers to heal. After they had finished healing they ran in the direction of their teammates.

Well that's it for this chapter. As you can plainly see Alex and Naruto aren't invincible or impervius to damage, but it has to be something with the Blacklight Virus in it to really hurt them. Also I've put a poll up on my page to see if you guys want me to do a rewrite of this story because I've been getting complaints about it moving too quickly. Anyway, you guys know the drill Read and Review or I'll send a Brawler to your house to eat you!
