„Witcher: Fox Path"

Chapter 1

„Who am I?"

They failed...

He failed...

He made a promise to end the war. Initially, all by himself. But soon enough, Naruto realized that this was impossible. To burden myself with this was insane. So, naturally, He joined forces with his friends and other shinobis. Even his friend/rival, Sasuke Uchiha joined him. But even that...was not enough.

The air was deadly cold. Blizzard was intense. Naruto was on his knees, trying to breathe. All around him were bodies. Bodies of his friends. Kakashi, Obito, Sakura, and Sasuke. He looks at them. Tears form in his eyes. As they fall, each of them freezes on his cheeks. Naruto looks up and looks at Kaguya. She was floating in the air, her long white hair didn't move from the wind. She was crying as well. How...How someone like that could cry?

"Something ends, Something begins..." -Kaguya said, looking down. Her tone didn't show it, but Naruto was able to feel her emotions. She was sad. Deeply sad."Those are my last words to you...My son."

Suddenly, something grabs Naruto's arms. He looks down and sees it's Sasuke.

"Sasuke!" -Naruto exclaims. For a brief moment, there was a small spark of hope."You're alive!"

"Shut up...Listen." -Sasuke struggles to speak. He lifts his head to look Naruto in the eyes."I don't have time...You have to seal her...Without me."

"What are you talking about?! Each of us has only one mark." -Naruto said, looking down on the sun mark on his right palm."How am I even...?"

Then he feels the surge of new chakra entering his body. He looks at Sasuke in shock as his eyes turn to normal. His Rinnegan was gone. Naruto checks his left palm and is in shock to see half-moon crest. He also feels a surge of chakra in his eyes and knows what Sasuke did. He passed his powers to him.

"You have to...avenge us..." -Sasuke coughs up blood. Naruto grits his teeth in anger."Kill her and save the Shinobi World...I believe in you."

"Sasuke..." -Naruto said quietly. Sasuke eyes lost their light. He was truly dead now. Gone, for good."Damn You!"

"It's over...I'm going to take back my power." -Kaguya said in an icy tone. She lifts her right hand and a giant ball of chakra forms above it.

Naruto somehow managed to get on his feet and flares his Six Path Mode. Sasuke was right. Everything was on his shoulders now. He has to end this. Naruto lifts his hand as well and a giant Rasen-shuriken form above it.

He charges at her. Anger and pain fill his cry. Their attacks collide. A flash of light blinds everything around. The explosion destroyed everything, leaving only a giant crater. In that crater stands a lone figure. Kaguya survived.

"We won, mother..." -Black Zetsu said with a wide grin."The world is yours..."

"No..." -She replies with a grimace.

"W-What do you mean?" -Black Zetsu grin fades quickly. Kaguya activates her byakugan and looks at the sky.

"Hagoromo..." -She said with anger and sadness."You haven't learn anything..."

"You can open your eyes, Naruto." -Said a familiar, old voice. Naruto opens his eyes to see Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Son of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

"Wha-Where am I?" -Naruto asks. He looks around and sees that They are moving through some kind of portal."What happened?!"

"You almost died, but I saved you..." -Hagoromo explains with sigh."I thought that this wouldn't happen. But I was wrong..."

"You have to take me back!" -Naruto shouts at Hagoromo. But the Old Sage only stares at him."C'mon! I have to seal Kaguya!"

"Look at yourself." -Hagoromo said coldly."You're in no shape to fight her. Sasuke passed his powers to You. Do you even know how to use them? How to combine them with your own abilities?"

"But I made a promise! I have to keep it!" -Naruto shouted again. This time with tears in his eyes."I lost my friends and comrades! All of this bullshit because of her!"

"I understand...You'll keep your promise, but not now." -Hagoromo said seriously."Right now...I have to take you far away. To a place where My mother won't find you. There you'll train and learn how to use Sharingan and Rinnegan. As well as all elements and bloodline limits. Now to possess the power to learn everything. Use it and when the time is right, You'll seal my mother."

Naruto drops his head down and clenches his fists. How can he waste his time on something like this? The Shinobi Alliance is under Tsukuyomi. Trap in a world of dreams. In a world of illusion.

[...Naruto! The old man is right. You can't fight with Kaguya without knowing how to use Sasuke powers. Right now, it would be suicide to fight her. The old man had to save your ass just to tell you this. We'll defeat her, but not now...]

Naruto nods. He wasn't thinking straight. Losing so many people that he cared about was devastating. But Hagoromo and Kurama were right. He was the only person who could defeat Kaguya. He had to be prepared, otherwise, Sasuke and other sacrifice was for nothing.

"Where are We Going?" -Naruto asks. His voice not hiding his sadness.

"You'll see soon enough." -Hagoromo replies, looking ahead."She won't find You there."

Suddenly there was a disturbance within a portal. Even Naruto notice it with his Rinnegan. Then everything started to shake and crack. They both recognize familiar chakra. It was Kaguya.

"She found us..." -Hagoromo said gravely. He turns toward Young Jinchuriki and places his hand on Naruto's chest."This is my last gift...I'm sorry for this." -Naruto looks at him in confusion."Shinra Tensei!"

An invisible force pushed Naruto toward a cracking wall of the portal. He screamed, trying to catch into something. Then there was darkness.

Hagoromo turns his head to see his mother, looking at him with disappointment. And sadness as well.

"Hello, Mother..." -Hagoromo said calmly. For a few seconds, They're staring at each other without a word. Out of nowhere, Kaguya appears in front of Old Sage and grabs him by the throat."As always...straight to the business."

"Where is the boy, Hagoromo?" -Kaguya orders, her byakugan in full force.

"Now, be a nice boy and answer your Mother's question." -Black Zetsu said with a wide grin.

"Gone...Dead by your hands." -Hagoromo answers as Kaguya grips tighten."You're wasting your time. You won, haven't you? Why bother with someone like me?"

"I'll find, Hagoromo." -Kaguya promised. Slowly she started to absorb Hagoromo's body'."When I do...I'll get back what was mine to begin with."

"Do as you please...But You're wasting your time." -With these last words, Hagoromo was gone.

"I do wonder where Hagoromo sends that brat..." -Black Zetsu said out loud.

"We'll look for him as long as We need to." -Kaguya said coldly."He's still a danger to my plan. And I can't have that." -The space around her cracks again. She had to leave, for now.

Pain... Blood...Spinning...WAKE UP!...Scream...Water...Drowning...WAKE UP, NARUTO!...Fox...Giant red eyes...YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP!...

"Aaarrrgh!" -That scream scared the girl sitting next to him. The Blonde boy got up, holding his head in his hands."My head..."

"Don't scare me like that!" -The Girl snapped. The blonde boy lifts his head and looks at her. When he first saw her, the girl's face was annoyed. But it quickly changes to one of concern."Sorry...You had a nightmare, right?"

The Girl was no older than twelve, dressed in a yellowish shirt with a long black skirt. She had light brown hair and brown eyes. When blinking, he felt tears in his eyes.

"Yeah, something like that." -He replies, wiping his tears."Who are you?"

"My name is Marilka. Like milk." -She introduces herself with a smile."What's your name?"

"I...I don't know." -He replies. The confusion in his voice was clear as a day."I don't remember my name or anything... Where am I?"

"Considering how you look liked when my Father has found you, I'm not surprised." -Marilka said with a sigh."You have amnesia, don't you?"

"Seems like it..." -He agrees, looking down at his hands. Suprise came to his face when he sees two different marks on his palms. A sun and half-moon."My head feels like it's gonna split open."

"We're in Blaviken. It's a country town in Arcsea." - Marilka explains as she's pouring water into a cup. She then gives it to him."But I don't think you know what Arcsea is, huh?"

"Not a clue..." -He said and then taking a long sip. Quickly emptying the cup, he gave it back to Marilka.

"Um, I actually wanted to ask you about something." -Marilka said, looking straight at his face."What's with your left eye? Never seen something like that, you know." -At that, The Blonde was even more confused. She pulled a mirror from a pocket in her skirt. Marilka handed it to him and his eyes widen. His right eye was normal, blue color. His left one was...Well, it was entirely purple with ripple patterns and six commas."Does anything come to mind?

"N-No...nothing at all." -He said while examining his strange eye."I have no idea what's going on."

[….We need to talk...]

Chapter 2

„Butchers of Blaviken"

[Six months later.]

Same day as always, Naruto thought. It was like that since he started to work at The Golden Court. The Most elegant inn in the Blaviken. He was very thankful to Marilka Father, Caldemeyn who was the alderman. He owned him his life, so naturally, he had to earn his keep. Other than working at the Inn, Naruto was training outside of Blaviken. With the help of Kurama, Naruto was regaining his memories as well as his skills. So far he remembers most of his childhood, which is something that he actually doesn't want to remember. Kurama said that it's better for him to regain his memories naturally. There was just too much to explain all at once. Kurama only said that he had to regain everything and more to be ready to save his world.

But for now, all Naruto could do was to clean another mug. He looks around and watches how people around him talk, laughs and drink. He had to admit, sometimes it wasn't so bad. Watching people happy and joyful, despite hard times They're living in.

"Hey, can I get another one?" -Ask a female voice. Naruto snaps and turns his head to the source of the voice."I could use another drink."

The Female was young and quite beautiful. Her hair was light brown and her eyes were blue-green. She was wearing light chest armor and a red shirt underneath. Giving her a small smile, Naruto poured her Mahakaman mead.

"What's with your left eye?" -She asks, before taking a big sip. Naruto looks at her with his blue eye. He was wearing a white headband to cover his Rinnegan

"I had an accident...I don't see wear and I have a burn mark, Ms. Mahakaman." -Naruto said with a smug smile. She smiled at him and finished her drink.

"Good one, Whiskers..." -She said with a mocking grin."My name is Renfri. Nice to meet you."

"Name's Naruto. Nice to meet you as well." -Naruto introduced himself with a small smile."You're not from Blaviken, are you?"

"Let just say that I'm passing by my group." -She said while pointing her small group of men drinking together."I'm looking for someone. He might be here in Blaviken."

"Maybe I can help you." -Naruto offered with a smile."Lots of people come to this Inn. Maybe I saw him the other day."

"He's not the type to be around 'Peasants'." -Renfri snorted and gave Naruto the mug."Another one, please."

Naruto takes the mug and fills up again. Then suddenly someone opens the doors of the Golden Court. Naruto turns his eye toward the doors and sees a tall man dressed in black with matching cloak. He was wearing a hood as well, but that didn't help him hide his milk-white hair. As he takes his steps, the entire inn becomes quiet. Everyone looks at the man walking toward the bar. He walks to Naruto who finished filling Renfri mug.

"What can I get you?" -Naruto asks politely. But the man simply puts a piece of paper in front of him.

"Point me to the Alderman house." -The man said in a deep and low voice. His eyes catch Naruto's attention. Similar to a cat and yellow in color.

'So...This must the Witcher that Marilka was talking about...' -Naruto thought while looking the man in the eyes."It's down the alley to the left..."

"Naruto!" -Said harshly the Owner of The Golden Court. His name was Centurion, a friend of Caldemeyn. Naruto quickly steps aside. He doesn't want to piss Centurion off."We don't want your kind here, Witcher..."

"Alderman...Tell me where is, then I'll be on my way..." -Witcher said calmly. There no anger to annoyance in his voice.

"You don't give the order around here." -Said a man behind him. It was one of Renfri boys. A bald one with the face of an angry pig."You mutant son of a bitch!" -Witcher only gave him a glance.

"Hear that?" -Asks Centurion."Leave...On your own or at the end of a rope. Your choice."

"Not a hard choice..." -Witcher said with shrug.

"Fuck that...Kill him with your bare hands if you have to." -Centurion changed his mind. The rest of Renfri group gets up, ready to kill.

Naruto glares at Centurion. Witcher said he'll leave, so why he changed his mind? Naruto would never understand him. He didn't like him from the beginning. But he wouldn't say it out loud. He needed this job

"Come on Witcher. You're not scared of us, are you?" -'Pig' asks mockingly. He grins at the Witcher, while others stare at him."Show us what you got..."

"Give it a rest..." -Renfri finally said. She turns toward her group with an annoyed face.

"Witchers can't be trusted..." -Centurion said icily.

"I'm not talking to you." -Renfri explains, giving Centurion an angry look. She turns to Witcher and said."I apologize for my men for the interference in your day...Hopefully, He can improve his behavior by tomorrow."

"Sorry, Renfri." -'Pig' apologized. He felt uneasy when she was looking at him like that. He and others returned to their table.

"Naruto, give him some beer." -Renfri said without taking her eyes off the Witcher."It's on me.."

Naruto gave a sigh of relief. This whole could turn into a bloodbath if she didn't intervene. The Witcher turn back to the bar and put his hands on it. He waited until Naruto gave him his mug of the Rivian Kriek. Centurion snorted and left to attend other clients.

"Thanks, Renfri." -Naruto said with a small smile."This would turn ugly..."

"It's alright." -She said while taking a bite of an apple. Witcher was glancing at her. She noticed it."Want some?"

"I'm full..." -Witcher said. The tone of his voice hasn't changed. It was still calm. They both lift their mugs, but Witcher only took a small sip.

Naruto and Witcher were both surprised as to how quickly Renfri finished her drink.

"My mother would be ashamed if she saw me now." -Renfri said with shrug.

"It'll be our secret then." -Witcher said smugly."Right, bartender?"

"Of course." -Naruto replies with a grin. Renfri smiled at that.

"So what brings to Blaviken, white-hair?" -She asks and takes another bite."Came from hunting monsters?"

"I was traveling by a swamp." -Witcher replies and takes another sip.

"That was a mistake." -Naruto said while crossing his arms."Why not go on the main road?"

"It's hard to make living on main roads" -Witcher said with a small smile.

"You'll need money for new clothes." -Renfri said with a cheeky grin. Witcher didn't say anything to that."Whenever I go, there are always monsters..." -Neither Witcher or Naruto said anything. Her smile was gone, replaced by emotionless expression.

"Anyway..." -Naruto broke the silence."You're looking for Alderman, right? Did you kill that Graveir?"

"No, it's Kikimora." -Witcher replied. Now there was annoyance in his voice.

"Then, He'll have no use of it and you won't get a coin." -Naruto said and Witcher cursed under his nose."But...There is someone who might have some use of it."

"Hm...Where can I find this person?" -Witcher said looking at Naruto lone eye.

"I can show you where he lives. He's a wizard. His name Irion." -Naruto said and Witcher noded."I'll have a break in a few minutes. Wait for me outside, alright?" -Witcher nodded again and slowly left the Inn."So...That's a witcher, huh?"

"Be careful around..." -Renfri warned Naruto, who looked at her confused."You never know what witchers might do you if you piss them off."

"I'll keep that in mind, Renfri." -Naruto said while taking off his apron. He quietly left the tavern. He saw that the Witcher was waiting for him next to a horse who had Kikimora strap to it's back."Sorry for the wait. Are you ready to go?"

"Hm..." -Was all that Witcher had to offer.

"So, what's your name?" -Naruto asked as they made theirs to Master Irion.

"Geralt of Rivia." -Geralt introduced himself."And who You might be?"

"Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you." -Naruto introduced himself with a grin.

"Hm. Never heard of such name." -Witcher said surprised. He glanced at him. Naruto clearly didn't fit with the people of Blaviken. He was also covering his left eye."Where are you from, Naruto?"

"Well...Let's just say its very far, far away." -Naruto said while scratching the back of his head."You know They found me near Blaviken. That was six months ago. I woke up with amnesia. Had no idea who I am or where I was. But I started to regain them. Right now I remember most of my childhood."

"That's good, right? Do you remember where you used to live then?" -Geralt asked. The boy picked his curiosity. There was something strange about it. Suddenly, his medallion reacted.

"It's hard to explain. Anyway, We're here." -Naruto said as they stopped in front of a large tower.

"Keep an eye on Roach..." -Geralt said and Naruto gave him a look."My bad..."

"It's fine." -Naruto waved him off."Go on." -Geral didn't hesitate and vanish behind the doors of the tower."Well, nice to meet you, Roach."

"Are you talking to horses now, Naruto?" -Came a voice from behind. He knew that voice all too well."You know it's a sign of going crazy."

"I'm just watching over it." -Naruto replies and Roach whines."Sorry, 'her'..."

"What are you doing here?" -Marilka asked with a smile. She started to pet the horse.

"A Witcher came to Blaviken." -Naruto explains."He killed Kikimora, so I told him Master Irion might want it."

"Ah, I see. You know that I'm the one who helps Master Irion, right?" -She asks sweet grin.

"Give it a rest. I only helped him out a bit." -Naruto said with shrug.

"Yeah, and You'll get a bit of coin from a witcher, huh?" -Marilka crossed her arms and gave him a look.

"Maybe that's your style, but I just like helping people." -Naruto said with a groan."And I know your next line. 'You can't a goody-two-shoes, otherwise, people will be using you.'."

"And I'm right." -Marilka said with a smug smile."You should be charging coins for things like that."

"It's just not my style." -Naruto replied sheepishly. Marilka shook her head in disbelief.

They waited a few minutes until Witcher came out of the Tower. He was wearing his cloak anymore that was hiding light armor.

"Geralt! How did it go?" -Naruto asked with a smile, while Marilka eyes the Witcher.

"Fine..." -He said indifferently. He got on his horse and glance at Naruto."I think...I'll be leaving. It was nice to meet you, Naruto Uzumaki."

"Same to you, Geralt of Rivia." -Naruto said with a nod. With that, Geralt went on his way.

Naruto smiled. Then he felt something off. As if something or someone was watching them. He turns around and only noticed a glimpse of a person. It was Renfri. He was sure of it. Something was off.

"And there goes the coin!" -Marilka exclaims comedically."Really? I...I don't have words for this."

"Go home or somewhere." -Naruto said seriously. Marilka looked at him funny."I'm joking...Go and I have to do something."

"Don't you have to go back to Golden Court?" -Marilka asked confused. She never saw him act like this before.

"I will...Don't worry." -Naruto said with reassured her with a grin."Now go...We'll see each other later."

"A-alright..." -She said, still unsure about Naruto act. When she was gone, Naruto looked at the Tower and heard a familiar voice in his head.

[...You think this Master Irion has anything to do with Renfri stalking us?...]

'Maybe...She's probably gonna go after Geralt.' -Naruto concluded in his thoughts.'I guess checking on Geralt might be a good idea.'

[Forest. Outside of Blaviken]

Naruto silently jumped to another tree branch. He was right above Geralt and Roach. The Witcher was looking for something near a stream. Then he saw Renfri creeping on Geralt. She revealed herself pretty quickly. They're talking about some man called Stregobor, destiny, monsters and lesser evil. But what caught Naruto's attention was that Renfri wanted to do get her revenge in the market. Eventually, Geralt left her and went further into the forest. For reasons unknown to himself, Naruto followed Geralt again.

"I know You're in the trees." -Geralt said while looking up. He saw Naruto immediately.

"Sorry for spying on You." -Naruto said as he jumped down and landed as if it was nothing."But when I saw Renfri stalking us...Well, I wanted to see if you're fine."

"I'm a Witcher, so You have nothing to worry about." -Geralt with a tired smile."But tell me...How can a man jump from the tall tree and not break his legs?"

"Em...well, you see...It's a bit..." -Naruto struggles to come up with an excuse.

"It's a bit hard to explain?" -Geralt gave him a look and Naruto nodded. He sat down next to Geralt and at the forest around them.

"It's not really that, but...You'd think I'm crazy." -Naruto admitted. Geralt glanced at him and saw his troubled expression.

"Try me..." -Geralt said and focused his attention on young Blonde.

"Well, as I said before, I don't remember other things than my childhood." -Naruto said, his eyes darted to his hands. Two different marks on each palm. Geralt noticed them."I'm not from this world...In my world, people use chakra, which is something that you might call magic. There were wars, pain, and suffering. Before I came here, I was fighting alongside my friends against a god-like being...But We lost. Before dying, my best friend gave me his powers." -Naruto lifted his headband and surprised Witcher with his left eye. Then his blue eye turns red with a black dot in the middle and three commas.

"But didn't ou say that you only have your childhood memories?" -Geralt asked curiously."How do you remember events from before you came here."

"I don't...But Kurama does." -Naruto replied and Geralt raised his eyebrow.

"Who's Kurama?" -Geralt asked and Naruto grinned.

"My friend who's been helping me ever since I came here." -Naruto explains, getting a funny feeling from his stomach."Um...He resides in my body. But I can introduce you to him."

"How?" -The tone of Witcher was slowly getting tired. This was a lot. And there is even more to uncover. Suddenly, Geralt was no longer in the forest. The area around changed. There was darkness around them and the only source of light coming from the floor."Where am I?"

"Welcome to my mindscape." -Suddenly Naruto appeared out of nowhere. Geralt turned to him and his eyes widen upon seeing the creature behind him. A giant red-eyed fox with nine tails. The Fox was grinning at him."Kurama, this is Geralt. Geralt, this is Kurama."

"Greetings, Witcher. I wanted to meet you in person." -Kurama said in a very deep tone."I hope I don't intimidate you."

"Not at all..." -Geralt replied with the puffed up chest."So You're telling the truth...heh, hard to believe, but then again, Sorcerers do mess with space and time."

"It's not their fault We're here." -Kurama said."It's because of the Man that created me. He wanted to send us to a place where We could prepare for a final fight. But it all went wrong. So, We ended up here with Naruto having no memories and no way of knowing if We can go back."

"Sound tough. I really don't know what to say." -Geralt admitted."So, what's your goal? Wait around and work at the Inn."

"Train and be ready for anything." -Naruto said with shrug."Having my memories back would be nice too."

"I imagine...So, how do We get out of here?" -Geralt asked, causing Kurama to snort.

"What? Don't you like it already? Not that I can blame you." -Kurama said with a sigh. He didn't really enjoy it either. But there was no other choice.

"Then why not get out?" -Kurama shook his head at that question."You can't?"

"It's not like I can't...But if I did, Naruto would die." -Nine Tails said in a serious manner."In our world there are other beasts like me. They're usually sealed in babies so they could have better control over their power later in their life. But that also means that their lives are connected to us. If they lose us, then They die. Simple."

"Hm...Nothing to be jealous of." -Geralt with a shiver. He wouldn't like to live like that."So, can We get out?... All of this is crazy, but I believe you."

"Of course...Besides Renfri is coming." -Kurama said and both Naruto and Geralt returned back to reality.

"I should be going. See you're around Geralt." -Naruto said and poofed out of exitance. Geralt looked at the poof of smoke and gave a long sigh.

[Blaviken. Golden Court.]

Naruto finished cleaning the mug and put it down. Then, he tilted his head slightly and smiled. It felt good. Good to finally say the truth about him to someone. Even if it was some random person.

"Blondie." -Centurion called him. Naruto glanced at his boss."You're done for today. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Sir." -Naruto said and left Inn as soon as possible. With what he had learned today, Naruto must inform Alderman. Renfri was dead serious about her revenge.

After a few minutes, Naruto made it Alderman's house. He knocked on the doors and waited. It was Libushe who opened them. She smiled at him warmly.

"Ah! Naruto, I keep telling you. You don't have a knock." -Libushe said tiredly."You're live here as well." -After entering, Naruto gave her a look."Did something happened?"

"I need to talk with Caldemeyn." -Naruto said."Is He in his room?"

"Yes, like always around this time." -Libushe said with a nod. Naruto simply smiled and went up the stairs."Don't take too long. Supper is almost ready."

"Don't worry! This will take a second." -Naruto promised. Finally reaching the room, he knocked and waited. After hearing „Come in", Naruto enters and is greeted by smiling Caldemeyn."Can We Talk? It's important."

"Of course, my boy." - Caldemeyn said with an even bigger smile."Don't tell me that Centurion had another problem with your work."

"No...It's a bigger problem." -Naruto said seriously.

"Well...I'm all ears." - Caldemeyn said, curious as to what appears to be important to Naruto. After explaining everything, Caldemeyn leaned on his chair."This is serious. It's a good thing You told me that."

"Will you send a patrol to market?" -Naruto asked.

"I'm going to send a letter after supper, so I'll go and inform the guards." - Caldemeyn said nodding."I need to tell Libushe and Marilka not to go to the market tomorrow. You should stay in Golden Court for the entire day."

"Can you make sure that Renfri and her gang would notice the guards?" -Naruto asked and Caldemeyn gave a sigh.

"Of course I will." - Caldemeyn replied with a small smile."But for now, let's go and eat."

[Next day. Market.]

Despite promising to stay away from the market, Naruto couldn't help but feel like he had to be there. He silently moved through alleys and quickly noticed that there was no soul. Speeding up, Naruto bumped into someone. It was Geralt. He already had a sword in his hand.

"What are You doing here?" -Geralt asked with a stoic face."Where is everybody?"

"I don't know." -Naruto said. He was just as confused."I don't like how quiet it is..."

"I can hear people breathing. They're fighting..." -Geralt said while pointing with his sword."That way..."

Naruto followed Geralt and soon They saw bodies of four guards lying in a pool of blood. He recognized one of them as Karelka. Karelka used to be one of the regulars in Golden Court. Then, They saw Renfri group coming from their hideouts.

"She knew You two would come." -Pig said with a smug grin.

"Where is Renfri?" -Geralt asked calmly. Naruto, on the other hand, clenched his fist and glared at Renfri men.

"She's at the tower with your little friend, Marilka." -He replies with an even bigger and sicker grin.

"She didn't do anything..." -Naruto said cold tone. Geralt glanced at Naruto, who barely holding it together.

"She gave us a message to pass on to you." -Another man said. He was tall and had curly black hair."You have to choose the lesser evil. It's an ultimatum. Get it?"

"Fuck..." -Geralt said under his nose.

The man with a crossbow lifted his weapon and aim at Geralt. As he shot it time seem to slow down. Geralt was ready to break the arrow with no effort. But was surprised him was how fast Naruto appeared in front of an arrow. He grabbed it and time returned to normal. Everyone was shocked to see the blonde standing in front of Geralt. Naruto stared at them with his Sharingan. Without taking his eyes off them, Naruto flicked the arrow and throwback at the shooter. Arrow pierced his throat.

"Come on, Witcher." -Naruto's voice wasn't natural. He sounded almost like that Giant Fox.

Geralt didn't need anything else. They charged at them. Naruto easily evaded getting slash with his Sharingan. He grabs the guy arm and breaks it. After grabbing his sword Naruto shove it through his chin. Geralt quickly cuts down an incoming attacker who wanted to kill Naruto. Naruto pulled the sword back and block the enemy blade. Geralt did a pirouette and stabbed Naruto's enemy in the stomach. Naruto pulled his sword back at throw it at another enemy. The sword went right through his head and got landed in a haystack. Pulling his own sword, Geralt used Ard to push remaining enemies back. Naruto took another sword and with Geralt attacked and killed two men right in front of 'Pig'. Suddenly, Naruto stopped Geralt with a blade his sword.

"He's mine..." -Naruto said and opened the palm of his left hand. Suddenly and electric energy surrounded his hand. It sounded a thousand chirping birds.

"You think I'm scared of you?!" -'Pig' shouted and wanted to charge at Naruto. But, he just vanished."Where is he?!" -Then, the sound of birds reappeared. It was coming from behind.

Before He could turn around, Naruto rammed his hand right through his heart. Even Geralt was a little taken back by this. Pig stared at the Witcher with shock in his eyes. Then Naruto took his hand back and 'Pig' slid to the ground, dead.

"Naruto!" -Called a familiar voice. Naruto and Geralt turned to see Renfri holding Marilka hostage.

Renfri eyes widen upon seeing the bodies of her men. She stared at Geralt and Naruto, who was drenched in blood. Marilka also stared at Naruto. His hand was covered in blood, so were his clothes and face.

"Renfri, let her go..." -Geralt said while forming Axii sign."Leave Blaviken, it's not too late."

"Magic doesn't work on me." -Renfri said coldly."Silver does."

"Silver is for monsters!" -Geralt exclaimed. She quickly throws Marilka to the ground. Placing blade of her sword on her arm, while aiming at them, She slowly charged at them."If We cross swords..."

"I won't be able to stop." -Renfri said, her tone impassive.

His Sharingan allowed Naruto to predict Renfri next move. She will go for Geralt first and bring her dagger to try and slash Naruto's throat. Naruto gave Geralt a short but understandable nod. He nodded back and blocked Renfri attack. Jinchuriki jumped over Renfri and quickly went to Marilka.

"Are you okay?" -Naruto asked with concern."Did she hurt you?"

"Stay away from me!" -She shouted at him. Naruto was confused. Why did she shout at him."Don't touch me!"

"Marilka...It's me, Naruto." -Naruto wanted to say calmly, but his voice was shaking. The realization of what he just did came knocking down on him. Along with Geralt, He butchered these men without batting an eye. It was his first kill, or so he thought. He still didn't remember everything."She won't hurt You. Not anymore."

Marilka still didn't look at him. She was hiding her face from him. There was no way of getting through her. Getting out a long sigh, He turned his head to see that Geralt and Renfri were nowhere to be found. But he did hear sounds of combat. When He found them, Renfri was already in Geralt arms. Blood was coming from her throat. He lied her down. She was saying something to him, but he didn't hear it. Naruto slowly made his way to Geralt and Renfris body. They both stared at each other for a few moments. Then They sat down on the ground.

"Was that your first time? Taking life?" -Geralt asked after looking at bodies around them.

"What? Where did you get that idea?" -Naruto looked at him, tear streaming from his eye.

"It's written all over your face." -Geralt said and wiped the blood off his face.' But it seems like He did it before...Was it the Fox?'

"I'm not really sure..." -Naruto admitted and shrugged."I killed them and yet...I don't feel that bad. Is there something wrong with me?"

"They would kill You if You didn't act." -Geralt said seriously."They killed those guards and Your friend almost died. If I were You, I would kill them without a care."

"Doesn't that make You evil?" -Naruto glanced at him and bit his lower lip.

"Only Evil and Greater Evil exist and beyond them, in the shadows, lurks True Evil. True Evil, Naruto, is something you can barely imagine, even if you believe nothing can still surprise you." Geralt said, slowly getting up. He heard footsteps. Many footsteps."And sometimes True Evil seizes you by the throat and demands that you choose between it and another, slightly lesser, Evil. You'd be evil if You didn't feel some sort of remorse. You're not Evil, Naruto."

Naruto looked at the bodies and gave a sigh. Geralt was right. They're murderers. Monsters. And monsters don't feel remorse. He wasn't like them.

"Incredible..." -Someone said. Naruto turned his head to an old man, dressed in black. He had a long black cloak."Marilka? Marilka!" -He called and She quickly appeared next to him. Naruto looked at her, but she was only focused on the Old man."Get me a cart. We'll take her to the tower for an autopsy."

Suddenly Geralt put his sword an inch from the Old man's neck.

"If you touch a single hair on her head, Stregobor...Yours will be on the ground." -Geralt warned his voice deadly cold.

"Have you gone mad?" -Stregobor asked with an impassive face. He didn't care how, but even a Witcher wouldn't stop him from getting Renfris body. Or some brat."Her mutation, it influences people. That's how she got those men to follow her. We need to take it." -He paused, looking at the two of them."She got to you too, didn't she?"

"Do not...touch her." -Naruto also warned Stregobor. He flared his Sharingan again, causing Stregobor to look at him curiously.

"Witcher. Naruto..." -Stregobor said a bit more loudly."You both butchered bodies in the streets of Blaviken"

"You're beasts!"

"You endangered the girl!"

"Monsters!"

"They killed every single one..."

"You took the law into your own hands" -Stregobor said, staring at them At this point, everyone was shouting at Naruto and Geralt. Stregobor took a few steps forward."You made a choice. And you'll never know if it was the right one."

Suddenly, the people started to throw rocks at them. Geralt and Naruto had to shield themself, but some hit them in the head. Then, Marilka came forward and stared at Naruto with a blank expression.

"Get your things, Naruto." -Her tone was impassive. But she did look him in the eyes. She was scared, but sad as well."Never come back to Blaviken." -Naruto was heartbroken by hearing this.

He felt Geralt poking him with his shoulder. Naruto looked at Geralt who nodded at him. They had to leave. Now. They slowly turn around to face the crowd. As they start walking, everyone stepped aside. They went through the alley and stopped.

"Geralt...?" -Naruto quietly said. Geralt looked at him and knew what the boy had to say."Can...Can I go with you? I...I don't have anywhere else to go. I don't even know where to go..."

Geralt wanted to say no. He never had and really didn't want company. He accepted the life of a lone wolf. A witcher was supposed to be alone. To focus on what he was created for. Killing monsters. Not to babysit. Not that Naruto needed it.

"I'll wait for the gates..." -Geralt said with a tired sigh. He couldn't say no. Witcher was getting old."Don't take too long."

Naruto nodded and quickly vanished from his sight. With his usual 'hmm', Geralt went to get Roach.

[Alderman house.]

Naruto came through the window and quickly start packing everything that he could. Once he was done, Naruto changed his Shinobi attire. Thanks to Libushe, He could wear it again. As he tied his headband, Naruto heard doors behind being opened. It was Caldemeyn. He had a sad expression on his face.

"I heard what happened at the Market." -He said and Naruto dropped his head.

"Don't worry, I won't be here long." -Naruto promised and quickly picked his bag."I just need to thank you...If it wasn't for you, I don't know where I would be."

"No need to thank me, my boy." -Caldemeyn said with a sad smile."I help everyone in need. And I want to do it now too." -He took a small bag and it was full of coins.

"I can't take this..." -Naruto argued, but Caldemeyn shoves it into his hand.

"You can and you will." -He said seriously."If it wasn't for you or that Witcher, I'd lose my only daughter. Roads won't be easy for you, so make sure not to lose these coins."

"T-thanks...Thank you for everything." -Naruto said with a sad smile and gave Caldemeyn a hug.

"Stay safe, Naruto. There is something waiting for you at the gates to." -Caldemeyn said with a sigh. After breaking the hug, Naruto gave him a nod and went through the window."Stay safe, my boy..."

[Gates to Blaviken.]

Naruto was surprised to see a horse waiting next to Geralt and Roach.

"Seems like someone left you a gift." -Geralt said while looking at a white horse next to him.

"I guess so..." -Naruto said with a smile. He patted the mare and quickly hop on."Well...Where to?"

"I'm not sure...Maybe there'll be a flyier for a monster?" -Geralt with shrug.
