Naruto and his team along with the rest of Konoha 11 were at an old fortress. They received a mission for all 11 of them to attend. It was to stop a man from doing a new type of summoning jutsu. It wouldn't be so bad if didn't require the chakra of the Ten Tails. This man appeared generally after the 4th Great Ninja war and tried to claim some of the leftover Ten-Tails chakra for his work. Word started when he encountered Sasuke Uchiha and was most likely the reason for his disappearance. Team 10 were planning strategies to trap the guy, while Team 8 kept towards tracking him since he was gone. Team 7 and 9 were currently ready to fight him. Naruto in his Sage mode trying to sense the guy and Sakura was behind them trying to make sure they don't get hurt. Sai pulled out several ink creations and had them follow Team Kurenai.
"There he is!" Hinata said spotting him. Everyone quickly ran towards Hinata's position and soon gave chase.
"Shikamaru this is a bit dangerous. Shouldn't we spread out and corner him?" Choji said as he gave chase.
"Don't be fooled Choji this guy has obtained some of the Ten-Tails chakra from the tails we as cut off. Not only that, but he could have some trick to it. I heard rumors of this guy meeting Sasuke and fighting him." Shikamaru. Everyone else murmured in agreement Naruto entered his chakra mode and dashed even closer. The man turned around quickly and faced the shinobi in the courtyard.
"Okay ya stupid person listen here. You're coming with us and explaining everything you know." Naruto said as he made several chakra arms to block the exits.
The man chuckled darkly and cut his thumb.
"Idiot you expect me to surrender. I, Kaiju Pawa, will never surrender to people like you. I'm going to show you all true monsters and takeover this world." Naruto nodded and had a deadpan look on his face. Sure taking over the world was bad, but this guy lacked style unlike Madara and he wasn't even intimidating. Kaiju saw his look and got mad.
"In fact here let me show you two things. Summoning Jutsu!" Kaiju said as he slammed his palm in his hand. Lightning struck the area and large smoke covered the place and Naruto immediately went activated his sage mode. The rest of his friends made it.
"Guys stay back I think he summoned something huge." Naruto said. Suddenly a loud screech rose throughout the air and had everyone cover their ears. Sakura was the first to open her eyes and saw the most horrifying thing she's seen. The thing summoned looked like a giant male and it had no skin on it at all. Everyone else got an eyeful until the thing turned towards him. Kaiju appeared on its shoulder smirking like the cocky bastard he is.
"Do you see this. This is a Titan. A monster from another world and these things are pretty impressive. This guy can easily overpower you in an instant." Kaiju said. Naruto's face went really serious and quickly had Sakura throw him into the air above the Titan.
"I don't care! Every one of us fought a monster 3 years ago that would make this thing look like a kitten. Now shut up and take this: Odama Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he slammed a rasengan the size of a small building on the Titan. It lifted up its arm and held against the attack before its arm was grinded into a fleshy stump.
Sakura took this moment to attack it's leg and Sai had several of his birds attack the eyes. Shikamaru quickly formed the Human Boulder Yo-Yo with Ino and Choji and took out its other arm. Hinata climbed up on the Titan's body and pressed several pressure points she could see with her byakugan. It shook her off and Hinata soon was caught by Naruto who was falling next to her. Quickly doing a chakra dash the couple landed next to the Titan, who was barely standing up. Kiba and Akamaru did the Fang Over Fang on the spine as Lee opened the sixth gate and smashed its eye open. Shino infested the wounds with bugs and had it crawl inside the Titan.
"Naruto-kun this won't work." Hinata said. Naruto turned and looked at his girlfriend in confusion.
"Wait why won't it work? Hinata we're taking it down very easily." Naruto said. Hinata pointed at the arm Naruto landed his Rasengan and showed him that it was back.
"Damn it can regenerate and now that I'm taking a better look at it, it shows no indication it's hurt where can we hit then?" Naruto asked. Hinata quickly looked at the Titan and saw bundle of nervous within the nape of his neck.
"There! The back of his neck. A well placed hit there should finish the job." Hinata said before hearing a humming sound. Behind her Naruto charged a Wind-Style Rasen-shuriken.
"Tell everyone to stand back." Naruto said. Hinata quickly went to Ino and let her know. Ino relayed the message and everyone fell back. On the Titan Kaiju smiled thinking he was winning.
"Now do you see?! With these monsters the villages will fall before me and the Great Nations will have no choice, but to listen to me. I will rule this world." He laughed maniacally until he heard something behind me. "Hey how bout you shut the hell up!"
Kaiju looked behind him and saw Naruto above him. Throwing the shuriken Naruto hit the back of the neck and watched the Titan start to lose its head. Literally. Kaiju, frightened by the attack, jumped down and tried running down the falling body. Naruto quickly made a Truth Seeking and made one platform. Flying down he caught Kaiju mid-air and threw him near Shikamaru. The massive blue sphere soon disappiated and it showed the headless Titan on the floor. Jumping down he heard Kaiju laugh.
"You think you won? You're the same like other guy with the weird eyes. He killed only one Titan and assumed I was beaten as well. I think he mentioned something about you guys especially the pink and orange one when I caused him to go to the Titan's dimension. In fact he had the same look on his stupid face like you do right now!" Kaiju laughed. Sakura obviously pissed punched Kaiju in his arm effectively breaking every bone in it. Kaiju screamed in pain and clutched his arm.
"Ah you stupid bitch you hit hard!" Kaiju screamed. Hinata also had enough and paralyzed him by hitting his chakra points. He fell on his face and started to growl. Naruto grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and shook him.
"What did you do to Sasuke you bastard?" Naruto said punching him. Kaiju continued to laugh even with the pain rocketing through his body. Naruto continued punching him in the face and didn't stop for a few seconds.
"Naruto-kun stop!" Hinata said. Naruto stopped when Hinata pulled him away. He was breathing heavily.
"If you want to see your boyfriend back already you should asked!" Kaiju said as he slammed his palm on the ground. Suddenly a purple and blue portal opened and it was sucking everyone in. Kaiju started to run until the portal started dragging him in. Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata were holding on until Kaiju pulled Naruto's scarf. Sakura quickly let go and grabbed a wall. Naruto grabbed the scarf and unintentionally let go. Hinata was holding on to him and she followed Naruto as they both went into the portal. Sakura tried to reach for them, but failed.
"NARUTO! HINATA!" Everyone screamed as the portal closed. Everyone stood in silence as they witnessed their friends disappear. Sakura fell on her knees and her eyes were filled with tears. Shikamaru and the rest took a look at the corpse of the Titan before picking up Sakura and leaving to go back to their village.
00000000000000000
Inside the portal Naruto, Hinata, and Kaiju were feeling stretched, compacted, burning yet cold, and dead but alive. Those feelings continued until Naruto suddenly felt himself on grass with something soft and heavy on top of him. He opened his eyes and saw Hinata sleeping on his back. His black vest was slightly burnt, but oddly enough his scarf was unharmed. One thing weird is that the clothes seems smaller than usually. Looking around he saw Kaiju was gone. Getting up he picked up Hinata, who was still unconscious.
"Hey Hinata wake up. Come on please wake up." Naruto said. Hinata stirred a little, but didn't open her eyes. Naruto began thinking for a moment and got a sneaky idea.
"Okay Hanabi you can have all your older sister's cinnamon buns." Naruto said. This caused her to immediately grabbed Naruto and flipped him over. Naruto tried to say something but Hinata was on top of him with looking down on him.
"What were you saying Naruto-kun?" She said sweetly. Naruto started sweating at his girlfriend's overly sweet attitude.
"Wait you look different." Hinata said as she got off him. Naruto didn't understand until he ran his hands through his hair. It felt like it was when 12. Taking off his bandage he saw his right arm wasn't artificial in fact it was flesh and bone again. Taking a look at Hinata she had her short hair and was even the same height she was when she was a genin.
"My arm's back along with my hair growing. I look like I'm 12 again and so are you!" Naruto screamed. Hinata calmed him down and picked him up.
"Ok. How bout we ask Kuruma what's going on?" Hinata said. Naruto nodded and tried to talk to Kuruma. Weird thing was he didn't appear in the mindscape.
"Well?" Hinata asked.
"Nothing. For some reason he's not responding to me and I can barely feel his presence within me." Naruto said. Focusing on his hand he tried to create a Rasengan only for nothing to happen.
"Hinata can you use your byakugan?" Naruto asked. Hinata tried only for her to fall on the ground with a searing pain in her head. Naruto immediately grabbed her and held her within his arms. Hinata was shaking and complained about the pain in her head. Naruto soothed her by stroking her hair and moving them underneath a tree. An hour later Hinata looked like she recovered.
"Okay maybe we just need to recuperate."
"Naruto-kun where are we?" Naruto explained to her what happened and tells her he has no idea where they are. Hinata understood very well and began to look around. She pulled Naruto up and began walking on a path. Both noted a small pain in their bodies and how they walked like they had a limp. Naruto quickly followed and began to sense something wrong. He pulled off his head band and pocketed it. Suddenly they met a huge shadow as they saw a massive wall before them. While they were looking at the wall two people bumped into him.
"Oh sorry kid." The boy said as he dropped the wood near them.
"Hey I'm not a kid ya brat." Naruto said angrily. The boy looked confused and Naruto decided to be friendly he smiled and helped him pick it up.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay."
"Eren you're so clumsy we need that wood."
"Shut up Mikasa." Eren said to his companion. Naruto helped him pick up the rest of the wood and looked at him questioningly.
"Hey I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this is my girlfriend Hinata. We travelled for a long time and would like to know the entrance here." Naruto said. Hinata waved genuinely at them and the two looked at each other before answering.
"Well I'm Eren Yeager and this is my sister Mikasa. The entrance is over there. I guess we could walk with together since we both need to go there. Hey you two look injured what happened to you?" Eren said as he pointed out Naruto and Hinata's wounds. The shinobi looked at themselves and realized how badly hurt they are. It was much worse than they noted. Once realizing they slowly groaned and hunched forward. Eren and Mikasa quickly caught them and had them lean down.
"Hey come on you two. Our dad's a doctor maybe he can fix you up." Eren said. The ninja nodded and just followed the two kids. Hinata reached into her tools and pulled out the cream she made. Pressing it against her skin she felt relief as it went away. She passed it to Naruto and he put the medicine on.
"Oh you have medicine already. I guess you don't need our help." Mikasa said. Hinata understood what that meant and tried explaining.
"No it's a special cream that takes care of small cuts and bruises. This will just make it easier for us to walk." Hinata said. Mikasa took the answer and continued to walk next to Eren and Naruto.
"So you're refugees and you escaped a fight with some wild animals. Did you see a titan?" Eren asked. Naruto chuckled nervously and held up his hand.
"No we just got roughed up a bit and left out in the fields. I swear its like you're obsessed with the Titans." Naruto said.
"Yeah those things out there are responsible for why we're here. A 100 years ago they appeared and almost wiped out humanity in just one night. We barricade ourselves in three Shilayers. Wall Maria is here along with our home the Shiganshina district." Eren explained. They continued to walk until the heard bells. Eren's face went up really fast as he heard. Grabbing Mikasa he ran. Naruto and Hinata jogged after them to catch up.
"Come on guys the recon group is here. I always wanted to join them." Eren said. Naruto and Hinata ran a bit faster and inside the crowd they found a place to stand. Naruto expected heros like the ninja before except no. He had seen these things during the last war.
Hinata looked at her palm and tried to create her healing palm only for a small spark off green to appear. Then she suddenly snapped her head at the sound of crying and shouting. Over a man's shoulder she saw a man in a green cape crying before an old women. Hinata watched with great sadness as he admits his failure. Overtime they left and the group just watched.
"So much for our great hope."
"Why do we even bother. This place is a safe haven."
Eren got angry and hit the guy with the stick. The guy turned around pissed and saw Eren being dragged by Mikasa and the rest. Eren continued to struggle.
"He's an idiot! Those men fight for us to leave this damn place. We're cattle here." Eren argued. Naruto picked Eren up and dropped him.
"That maybe true, but don't go around spouting things like that. You should know most of these people want to enjoy the peace here. Eren you must understand that their ignorance grew with time and even with you telling the truth you won't do much." Naruto scolded. Eren was angry, but understood what he was saying. He calmed down and guided Naruto and Hinata back home. The door opened and showed a woman there.
"Mikasa, Eren you're back. Who are these guys?" The woman asked.
"These are guys that need some help. We found out they were jumped and need some bandages." Mikasa answered.
"Fine. Hi I'm Kalura. Eren and Mikasa's mom. My husband will help you once you're inside." Kalura said. Once inside they met Grisha Yeager. He fixed them up and offered some bread. They gladly accepted it and ate with the rest of Eren and Mikasa's family.
"Eren wants to join the Scouts." Mikasa said. Grisha suddenly tightened Naruto's bandage around his head a bit too much.
"Why would you want to join the scouts Eren. Everyone knows that's a one way ticket to death!" Kalura shouted.
"Well it's better than being here. I'm not stupid we're stuck here in side the wall like animals. The guards are lazy, most of the villagers here are ignorant morons, and we're all dependent on a stupid wall! I want to make a difference and help humanity reclaim this world." Eren argued.
"No! You don't understand what we're doing behind this wall. Eating, sleeping, and being alive. It doesn't matter if you join the Recon branch it matters on your survival." Kalura argued back. Eren got angry and stood up. But before he could say any worse Grisha stood up and patted him on the head.
"That's enough Eren at this moment. How bout this when I get back from this job we'll talk about your career choice and I'll show you the basement." Grisha said.
"Really?" Eren said happily. Naruto chuckled a little at his friend's face.
Once Grisha left Eren continued his argument with his mother. Naruto and Hinata continued to watch them argue until Eren ran away. They quickly followed and noticed Mikasa staying behind for a second before following them. They continued to run after Eren until they saw him with several other people. 3 of them were picking on a small blond kid. However before they could do anything the bullies immediately ran away in fear. Not because of the numbers, but by Mikasa's appearance.
"Oh thanks Eren Mikasa. Hey who are these guys?" The Blond boy said. Naruto and Hinata quickly introduced themselves.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki ya know." Naruto said pointing a finger at himself.
"I'm Hinata Hyuga. Nice to meet you." Hinata said.
"Oh well I'm Armin. So I'm guessing you're new here." Armin said. They both nodded and told him the fake story of being jumped and left in the fields. Armin bought it and told them all the things they normally do. Over the next few hours the group got to know each other very well and became fast friends.
"So Hinata where do you live?" Armin asked.
"I live here. I just lived most of my life in my house taking care of my family. I met Naruto when we were younger and we became this." Hinata said while pointing at Naruto who was currently chewing out Mikasa as she had pinned him. Eren was laughing at Naruto's expense and actually forgot why he was angry for a second. They continued to play for awhile before relaxing near a river.
"This place is nice, but I want to explore the outside world. I read in a book how we had access to every place on Earth. Before we explored the oceans, deserts, and forests here. But I guess we can settle for here. If it wasn't for those things near the wall I could see the amazing places to go." Armin said.
"Armin I share the same dream too. I hope one day we get to leave these walls." Eren said as he looked towards the wall. Naruto looked toward the sunset and enjoyed it until he felt something weird. It was that feeling of dread he would sometimes get before something bad happened. As everyone continued to enjoy themselves the earth suddenly shook and launched everyone a foot in the air. Naruto fell on the ground to see a cloud of smoke over the wall. Then his eyes widened in horror when he saw massive hand go over the wall. Hinata felt her breath leave her body as she saw the head above it.
"Titan!" Someone yelled as soon as the wall broke down. Several large chunks flew and destroyed several buildings. Naruto grabbed Armin and pulled him out of the way as a larger boulder landed next to them.
"Mom's back there. We have to go back!" Eren said as he ran. Mikasa, Hinata, and Naruto quickly followed. Armin reached to join him, but was scared and didn't go. As they ran to the house Naruto felt something in his head. He found himself in the mindscape where Kuruma was. Something was wrong since Kuruma was all blurry.
"Na-na-naruto th-there you ar-ar-are." The Nine Tails said. Suddenly Kuruma appeared crystal clear.
"Kuruma where were you?!" Naruto said.
"Sorry kit, but I was busy repairing our link. Listen something happened when you and that girl of yours." Kuruma stated.
"Of course it has you stupid fox. Our bodies look like we're 12 years old!" Naruto said.
"Baka I know that. When you went through that portal you sustained massive injuries and reversed your age, but it also tore apart your chakra system. Have you noticed you can't use and ninjutsu or how your mate can't use her eyes." Kuruma said. Naruto thought upon this and understood.
"So you're telling me that we have no access to our chakra and that it can never be repaired." Naruto said.
"Of course not. I'm repairing your system and Hinata's, thanks to the chakra you gave her, as we speak. You can use only bits and pieces of your chakra for now. It's going to be awhile, so use the chakra you can use wisely." Kuruma said before cutting Naruto off.
Naruto then found himself running towards Eren and Mikasa's house. He found it in shambles and barely holding up. Running as fast as he can he found Hinata, Eren, and Mikasa trying to lift the roof of someone. When he took a closer look he saw Kalura trapped underneath there. Running even faster he helped them. The roof began to move a little and soon had enough room for Eren's mom to get out.
"Thank you for saving me, but I can't run my legs are broken." Kalura said. Naruto quickly put Kalura on his back and began carrying her.
"Naruto thanks now come on." Eren said. Before they could leave a footstep could be heard and they turned around to a Titan with an eerie smile before them. Before any of them could react it lashed out and grabbed Naruto and Kalura. Hinata ran to the Titan, but a hand pulled her back from getting there. She turned around to see one of the guards
"Hannes you have to help them!" Eren yelled. The guard Hannes nodded and pulled out his sword. Naruto struggled against the Titan's grasp and saw Kalura fighting as well. Reaching into his pack he pulled out one of his father's kunai and began hacking at the hand. The Titan showed no interest and began squeezing them.
"Don't worry I'll get us out of this!" Naruto shouted while struggling to breath.
"Naruto it's too late for me. I've only known you for a day, but you seem like a nice kid." Kalura said as she began to move towards the Titan's mouth.
"Don't say that! I'm going to get you out and get you to your family." Naruto said fumbling for an explosive tag.
'Damn it of all the times I can't use my chakra or even go into Sage Mode." Kalura smiled and nodded. She soon felt herself entering the mouth.
"Please if you get out of here tell Eren and Mikasa I love them and please watch over the-" She started before the mouth closed over her and and blood flew everywhere. Eren and Mikasa watched in horror as their mother died. Hinata quickly pulled them in together and tried to calm them down. Naruto went into shock, and before he was eaten the hand came off.
"Kid listen I know you're horrified about what you saw, but I need you to move." Hannes said. Naruto slowly nodded and was dragged to go along.
The Titan slowly followed them and was about to pick them off. Slowly Naruto's shock turned into anger and he didn't feel the slight spike in his killer intent. The Titan noticed it and looked at the the blue eyes with pupils like slits staring death upon it. Even though it wasn't very smart it felt fear and backed away from them. Hannes and Hinata ran and dragged everyone away from the area. Eren was crying like a baby and Mikasa was in shock. Hinata was holding them and Hannes had Naruto who slowly began recalling the promise Kalura asked him to fulfill. After a few minutes a few guards came by and alerted Hannes.
"Hannes we need you to help command the squads near the East district."
"I can't I've got survivors here and I need to drop them off the docks." Hannes replied.
"We can take it from here. Thank you." Hinata said. Hannes looked at her like she was crazy, but gave in after she told him she knew how to get there. Eren didn't say anything and Mikasa pulled him along. Naruto's bangs covered his eyes and he slowly followed. Even then he pulled out his headband and put around his forehead.
"Naruto-kun are you alright?" Hinata asked.
"No I'm not. I talked to Kuruma and found out we're unable to wield chakra, this city is falling, and I was unable to help them keep their mother. I've...I've made a promise to their mom." Naruto said.
"What was that?" Hinata asked. Naruto looked at the two as they walked.
"I made a promise to watch over them. I have no doubt with this experience they'll fight, but I want to be there when they do." Naruto said. Hinata nodded and moved closer to Naruto as they walked. Naruto put his arm over Hinata as they walked. Eren saw them and walked closer to them. Mikasa followed Eren and watched them.
"Oh hey Eren what's going on?"
"Could you have done something?" Eren asked.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked. Eren sighed and pulled out a kunai out of his pocket.
"You seem to equipped. I'm asking if you could've done something." Eren said with a stern voice.
"I could've." Naruto said. Eren's face went to pure anger and started punch at Naruto. Naruto began leaning back dodging it. Mikasa wanted to step in but Hinata stopped him.
"Naruto-kun's helping him." Hinata said.
"Then why?! Why couldn't you do something about it?! You had your chance and you let my mother die! Damn you!" He shouted until Naruto caught his fist. Eren stood for a second before breaking down. Naruto pulled him into a hug and let the boy cry. Naruto began thinking this was the same reaction he gave his dad when he met him.
"I suppose it wouldn't be right of me to give you a friendly face and tell you things are going to be alright. But I can tell you that your mom loved you and made me promise to watch over her most precious things in her life." Naruto said. Eren looked up for an answer.
"It was you and Mikasa. She wanted me to watch over you two." Naruto said as he put Eren on his back. Eren didn't say a word and closed his eyes. Naruto sighed and had Mikasa be on Hinata's back. The two ran with the two kids now on their backs. Eren just held on tight to Naruto as he carried him through the streets and passed the destroyed town. 5 minutes later they found themselves on at the dock.
"Okay you're lucky. We have four more spots on this boat." The guard said. THe 4 boarded the boat and waited for it to leave. Naruto had Mikasa and Eren near Armen and sat next to Hinata. Hinata looked at him before opening a loose bandage around his arm.
"Ah. Hinata what was that for?" Naruto asked. Hinata then took out the cream in her pouch and rubbed it against his wound. Steam hissed and the cut was gone.
"Naruto-kun we need to be on top of our game if we're going to watch those two and without our ninjutsu it's going to be tough." Hinata said. Naruto watched her with amazement and kissed her on the forehead. Before he could say anything another explosion filled the air. Everyone quickly turned towards the wall and saw an armored Titan. Naruto suddenly gripped the wooden rail when he saw the people trapped on the dock. 5 other Titans appeared and began attacking those trapped there. The wooden rail began cracking as Naruto saw those people die. Hinata felt evil in the air and quickly calmed Naruto down as she saw tints of red appear around his blue eyes. Naruto didn't say anything and took a deep breath. Looking behind him he saw Eren still crying and looking over the river. Naruto looked at his hands, before going over to Eren and Mikasa. He sat next to them and took out two kunai.
"Here you two take these. Use them only when they're necessary." Naruto said. The both looked at him until they took the kunai and put it in their sleeves. Hinata came by and sat next to Naruto. She laid her head on his shoulder and went to sleep.
"I'm going to kill them." Eren said.
"The Titans?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. I swear on my mother's life and to all those who died that I'm going to kill all titans!" Eren proclaimed as he walked up to the edge of the boat.
Naruto chuckled and stood next to him. The next few days were going to be rough, but he was certain he can help Eren not only with his goal, but the pain in his heart.
