Chapter 6

The Fall of Trost (part 1)

"Not this again! / Not this again!" Said both Naruto and Kurama.

Mikasa, Mina, and Hitch looked at Naruto questioningly before the former asked, "What's the matter, Naruto-kun? Do you know what that is?"

Naruto was silent for a moment before his eyes narrowed and answered, "See for yourself."

Raising one of her eyebrows, Mikasa, along with Mina and Hitch looked at where Naruto was looking at and couldn't help but gasped at what they were seeing.

On the top side of the gigantic wall that they were facing, a giant Titan was peaking from the other side of the wall. To think that the said wall was enormous enough, the Titan was still a head taller than the wall itself.

Naruto on the other hand, recognized the said Titan. It's the same Titan that breached the wall back at Shiganshina District, and it's back to breach the wall here at Trost District.

If the Colossal Titan is here, then the Armored Titan he fought last time in Shiganshina District wouldn't be far from it.

Thinking fast, Naruto issued an order to his group, saying, "Alright guys, focus. That's the same Titan that breached the wall in Shiganshina District, our home. If it's here, then the Armored Titan Isn't far behind." Looking at each and every one of them, he looked at them in the eye and added, "I'm betting that it's setting up to breach the wall as we speak. So you three, I want all of you to gather as much civilian as possible and escort them to the other side of the District to evacuate them. Once that wall is breached, all hell will break loose and chaos will start. I know it's our home but once the Titans pour in, we will be outnumbered. I doubt that everyone would have the guts to suddenly face a Titan right now so expect some casualties."

The three girls could only stare at him for a few seconds before nodding at him as their acknowledgement. The three of them were about to leave and fulfill their orders before their blonde leader suddenly spoke, "Don't forget, be careful you three. Stick together and watch each other's backs. If you encounter any Titans in your way, you know the drill. If it's not alone, don't engage. I want all of you reporting back to me still in one piece, am I understood?"

Two of the three girls were surprised at his sudden change in demeanor but didn't commented about it. Mikasa on the other hand know why he was like this so she offered him a smile before moving towards him and giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Understood, Naruto-kun. Be careful also, alright?" Said Mikasa right after her kiss to him.

Naruto smiled at her before nodding, "I will, my Koibito."

Mikasa smiled before beckoning the two girls to follow her lead to round up civilians.

Both Naruto and Mikasa didn't notice the blush that formed on Mina and Hitch's face when they'd kiss.

Naruto and the rest of his team was about to depart when suddenly, the wall where the Colossal Titan was looking from suddenly exploded from the bottom of the wall.

"And that's our que. Go! We don't have much time before the Titan's pour in! Move!" Shouted Naruto. And before he knew it, the three girls disappeared from his field of vision.

Looking back at the breached wall, Naruto muttered to himself, "I'll be back. I just have to make sure my family is safe first." Before disappearing in swirl of leaves.

Naruto reappeared in front of his house. Looking around, he let out a sigh of relief that it was still in one piece and no Titan in sight. Not that he was expecting them or anything. And judging from the smoke coming out of the chimney, she was still in the house.

Walking up towards the door, Naruto was about to knock when the door suddenly opened and Kireina practically launched herself at Naruto.

Taking a step back, Naruto braced himself before catching his worried… surrogate mother. Well, for the time being that is…

"Oh, Naruto-kun. You're finally back!" Kireina said in between sobs. She pulled back from his chest before looking up to her son before adding, "I heard an explosion minutes ago before you arrived. What's going on? Where's your sister?"

Naruto sighed tiredly before answering, "The Colossal Titan is back. What you heard earlier was it, blowing a hole on wall for the other Titans to use as an entrance into the district. I came here to get you to safety."

Kireina gasped, bringing her hands on her mouth before muttering, "Oh my g0d… Not again…"

Naruto hugged his surrogate mother before whispering to her, "I'm here Kireina-chan. I won't let anything happen to you." He then kissed her forehead before asking, "Where's Carla-chan? Have you seen her, Kireina-chan?"

Kireina leaned back from Naruto before answering, "Y-yes. She's inside actually. She was here when we heard the explosion."

Naruto nodded before saying, "That's good. Go get her and pack your stuffs. We'll stop by at carla's house before I evacuate you two."

His surrogate mother nodded at him before going back inside to do what Naruto asked her to do.

Naruto took a deep breath before releasing it to relax himself. looking around, he made sure he was alone before making ten clones and ordering them, saying, "You all scatter and check every house if it's still occupied with civilians. If yes, henge yourselves into any corps men and guide them out here."

The clones nodded at him before doing the original's orders.

After a few minutes, Kireina and Carla walked out of the house. The latter greeted him with a hug before the group of three run to Carla's house to gather her things. After a few minutes as well, Carla finished packing her things before they head to the gates that leads out of Trost District.

After some time, the group of three was almost at the gates when they saw a large crowd converging on the exit. Narrowing his eyes, he asked the two women to wait for a moment before walking through the panicking crowd to see what's the hold was up.

Arriving at the source of the problem, he saw a large cart filled to the brim with personal belongings and items that was blocking the exit. And from the looks of it, it belongs to a rich merchant.

"What's the hold up over here? Can't you see there's still a lot people here? Move that cart back and let the people in first." Asked Naruto with an even voice.

Hearing his question, the merchant looked his way before answering, "Ah, corpsman! Good thing you arrived, these peasants are becoming so unruly! Would you be a good lad and make an example of them, and I will grant you any desire you want!"

The crowd gasped then looked at Naruto if he would do it. It was silent for a complete minute before the holier-than-thou merchant suddenly spoke, "Hey! I'm talking to you, Corpsman! Didn't you hear what I said!? I said- no. I order you to make an exam-" He didn't get to finish his sentence when he, along the rest of the people around them felt the temperature drop a few degrees.

The surrounding crowd took a step back while the merchants' goons, despite being nervous and scared, took a step forward towards the blonde.

The blonde then pulled his two swords out of their sheaths before flooding the merchant and surrounding goons his pure and absolute killing intent making them shiver and hard to breathe in their place.

"I think I didn't made myself clear," Said Naruto before walking slowly to the merchant. While walking, he added, "I said, move that cart out of the way of the gate." He then added more killing intent to stop the surrounding goons from advancing.

The merchant once again took a step back and found that he was backed up to his cart. Looking at his hired goons for help, he saw that they were scared shitless. And judging by the looks of their faces, they were close to passing out.

"D-Don't you know w-who I am!? I know people in h-high places! My money is the r-reason you have any f-food in your belly and -" He couldn't finish his stuttering answer when Naruto stopped walking for a second, and in a blink of an eye, he flung one of his swords in his hands to the merchant. Not directly mind you, but next to his head.

Naruto then spoke while walking again, "And I don't care you piece of shit. I don't care if you tell any of your friends or put a bounty on my head," Arriving at the merchant's position, in another blinding move, his other sword was position on his neck, ready to slit his throat on a moment's notice. "If any of your friends attempts anything on my person or my family, I swear, there's no place, no rock, no crevasse you can hide from me."

To make his point, he added more pressure on the merchant's neck via sword to make a shallow cut. Enough to elicit a drop of blood from him.

The merchant, for the first time in his life, was scared and hopeless. He was downright frightened by this man – no, monster. He didn't want to test him. No, he liked his head attached to his shoulders, thank you very much!

Swallowing a lump on his throat, he ordered his men, "M-move the cart backwards! L-Let the p-people in!"

Nodding his head, Naruto released his killing intent before retracting both of his swords and putting them back on their sheathes. He then shoved the merchant away from him before he grabbed the back of the cart and pulled the heavy cart.

The people were so busy cheering to notice Naruto moved the cart effortless by himself. After pulling the cart back and guiding it on the side, the people were once again going through the gate and before he knows it, Kireina and Carla walked right up to him.

"What was all that about, Naruto-kun? We didn't see anything from the back where we stood." Said Carla, while Kireina nodded her head.

Naruto pointed his thumb over his back to the merchant and answered, "Him happened." Looking if they were watched, he pulled out one if his tri-pronged kunai and gave it to Kireina. He then added, "You know what to do."

Kireina nodded before she tiptoed and gave Naruto a peck on the cheeks. To the latter's surprise, Carla did it to on the other cheek. The two women then smiled at the blonde before departing to the gate. Naruto could only shake his head at the two women.

He was about to depart also when he heard someone called his name, "Naruto-kun!" Looking over his shoulder, he saw Mikasa, Mina, and Hitch coming his way.

Facing them, he addressed his girlfriend with a smile, saying, "Oh, Hey Mikasa-chan. I was about to regroup with you guys when you three showed up," His expression then changes from a happy and smiling state into calm and calculating state. "So, what brings you here?"

Mikasa then walked up to his boyfriend before giving him a peck on lips and then answered, "We got a report that the citizens were held back here. We decided to investigate what was the problem and hope solve it when we arrive here." Looking around, Mikasa saw the people were on their way to the gate before she added, "And by the looks of it, it's already solved."

Despite knowing why he was here, she was still surprised in seeing him here.

Naruto nodded his head before nonchalantly saying, "It's a good thing then that I was in town, and the problem is now taken cared off."

Mikasa could only shook her head of her lover's antics.

Looking at his remaining teammates, he asked "Are you all alright?"

His team mates nodded their head before Mina answered, "We're good, Naruto-san."

Naruto nodded before motioning them to follow him, "Come on, we need to regroup with the other squads."

The trio of girls nodded before following after their blonde leader back to the shitstorm that's called Trost District.

Naruto and his team arrived thirty minutes later to the gathering squads of the garrison force. Dropping to the roof where they saw their friends were standing, Naruto and his team greeted each one of them before the former asked, "How bad was it?"

While Naruto and the others talked about what happened during the initial attack, Mikasa saw Armin seating on the side of the roof, deep in thought. When she neared him, Mikasa asked, "Armin? Why are you sitting there? where's Eren?"

Armin didn't answer, to which Mikasa asked again but not before grasping one of Armin's shoulders, "Armin, Are you okay?"

That did it. Armin slowly turned to Mikasa, the latter saw the tears flowing down his face. Mikasa stared at him for a full minute before it dawned on her. Her eyes widened before placing both of her hands on her mouth. She then dropped to her knees, to which Naruto and the others noticed, before asking, "Mikasa-chan? What's wrong?" Looking at the person she was facing, Naruto also saw Armin sitting at the edge of the roof, who was now looking at him.

Naruto froze. His mind going a mile-a-minute. If Armin was here, then where's Eren? They were on the same team if he remembered correctly. If he was here, and the rest of his team isn't. That means…

"Armin… Where's Eren?…" Asked Naruto lowly.

Instead of answering, Armin stood up before walking up to him. Naruto was about to ask again when Armin suddenly engulfed him in a fierce hug before answering in distress, "I-I'm sorry Naruto! I couldn't save him! I-I tried! K-Kami knows I tried! But… but…-"

Armin didn't get to finish his sentence when his blonde friend reciprocated the hug. Armin couldn't do anything but cry more into Naruto's torso. Since the moment Naruto arrived in their lives, Armin looked up to him like a big brother of sorts. Now his pseudo brother was here, he was clinging to him like a life line for the loss of their friend, Eren. "Shh, it's okay Armin. You did your best. Don't cry anymore."

During all of this, Jean, Connie, Mina, and the rest of his friends who was on the same class with Eren could only drop their heads in mix of anger and sadness. Another comrade has fallen to the Titans…

After some time, Naruto released Armin from their embrace before putting his right hand on Armin's head before ruffling the hair like a brother would do to his sibling. Naruto then walked to Mikasa before he helped her stand back up and giving her a hug as well.

After the releasing Mikasa from his embrace as well, Naruto moved to the edge of the roof to look at the city of Trost deep in thought.

Both Mikasa and Armin know what's going on with Naruto. He was reigning in his anger. His hate. His loss. He promised not one of his family and friends would be dying in this kami-forsaken world. Now that Eren's gone... what would he tell to Carla when all of this was over.

Connie and the others were about to walked up to the blonde to offer some support when both Mikasa and Armin stopped them. He needs this. les he gave in to his anger and decimate this place in honor of Eren.

Connie was about to voice his complain to Mikasa when Naruto suddenly spoke, "Is this all what's left of us?"

Everyone other than Naruto looked at each other before Jean Answered, "We don't know Naruto. But as of now, we're the only ones left on this side of Trost. Plus, we're running low on gas." Looking at the direction of their Supply depot building, Jean added, "If my memory serves me right, some of the garrison force that was on reserve were stationed on the supply depot before everything went to shit. We could try to regroup with them and refill our gear if they're still there."

Naruto looked at the sky and answered, "Okay." A minute passed before looking at Jean and added, "You lead the way."

Jean's eyes widened before saying, "What!? Why me!?"

Smiling at him, Naruto answered, "Because I can see it in you that you're a born leader." Naruto then suddenly grin a vulpine grin before adding, "Besides, you're the one who suggested we try to regroup with the others."

Cue the sweatdrops from everybody… That's Naruto for you.

"O-Oi, Naruto! I'm not cut out for this -" He was cut off mid-sentence when Naruto suddenly spoke, "Splendid! We're burning daylight! Come on Jean! Lead the way!"

Connie grinned before slapping Jean at the back, saying, "Yeah Jean! Come on! We're going after you!"

Jean could only slump his shoulders. 'How the hell did I end up – Right… me and my big mouth…'

The group of newly minted and senior garrison troops steamrolled their way towards the Supply depot. The group, led by jean, with the help of Naruto, coordinated with the others in making their formation like a spear head. With Naruto at point, Mikasa and Annie on his right, and on his left was Reiner and Bertolt. Their job was to kill any Titans that came in their way while the others focus on maneuvering through the destroyed city.

To the people who knows Naruto and the others who spearheaded the formation knew that they were in good hands. To those people who saw them for the first time was amazed by their skills. Especially with Naruto.

The body count of Titans he left compared to the other four was a staggeringly wide. The moment a Titan came to close for comfort, he would move forward a bit and in a blink of an eye, the Titan would suddenly topple over and fall dead on the ground. The wound on its nape indicates a clean cut that even the best of them couldn't even saw how did he even killed it.

Same goes with Mikasa and the others. They were surprised as well that the other four could somehow keep up with the blonde that was leading the vanguard to HQ. The four eliminating any Titan with speed and precision that get passed the blonde in front.

Though despite all of this, they lost some men and women during their mad dash to the Supply depot.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw that the Supply depot was surrounded by Titans ranging from 5-meter Titans to 12-meter Titans. And judging by the way they were clawing on the side of the building indicates that there are still people in there.

"Well, shit. This could be a problem." Said Naruto absentmindedly with a frown.

Jean crouched for a minute before giving opinion, "For once, I agree with you. With so many Titans walking around the depot, we would lose half of our party before we even got a chance to enter that damn building."

Naruto was deep in thought. If they don't find any way entering in that building, he would be force to show the world of his powers.

Not that he has a problem with it. But, still.

While he was deep in thought, Mikasa was eyeing his boyfriend from her position. She knows what Naruto was thinking. If it means that she and the others survive this, he would forgo his secrecy about his powers and let loose. And judging by the look on her boyfriend's face, he would do it now.

Naruto took a step forward and was about engage and eviscerate the Titans in the vicinity using his chakra to enhance himself when suddenly, a loud roar was heard near them.

They saw a 15 – meter Titan stomped its way towards them. Naruto and the others were about to engage the approaching Titan when suddenly, it veered off from them and attacked the nearest Titan it could see.

Mikasa, as well as the others, couldn't help but drop their jaws to the ground. Never in their lives and in the books that a Titan attack its own kind.

Naruto on the other hand narrowed his eyes. He was looking at the 15 – meter Titan intently before speaking to his partner, 'Kurama...'

'I know, Naruto. I don't know how or why but yes, someone's inside that thing. And I'm not saying it's in the things stomach.' Answered Kurama. He too has his eyes narrowed at what his partner was seeing. Sensing his partners emotions, Kurama added, 'And I think you know who it is.'

Naruto clenched his fist. What the hell is happening here?
