What If Naruto Was The King Of Dark Continent

hello everyone and welcome to Ultimate fanfiction so we are back with an interesting series on what if Naruto was the king of Dark Continent but before we start I just want to remind you to please subscribe to my channel and hit the like button if you enjoy my content let's start the story it had been three whole years since the fourth great Shinobi war and while everyone was enjoying the Newfound peace between nations one man was conflicted that man was none other than the hero of the war Uzumaki Naruto he wasn't conflicted about bringing peace to the Nations no that was great the problems stemmed from what happened after since he was a kid he wanted the respect of the villagers as well as the Shinobi that protected them he wanted to be acknowledged by everyone and show them that he was more than just the container of the nine Tales he wanted friends and people he could turn to whenever he needed them it was for those reasons that he made his life goal to become the Hokage now though he had all of that some would argue that he had most of that the moment he beat pain and had him revive everyone he killed in the village after the war however everyone knew his name and of his deeds they heard how team seven had taken down kagaya and how he and sake had broken everyone out of the infinite sukui the blonde had effectively carved his name in the history books already Naruto had even beaten sense into SAS and had him return to the Village he' kept his promise to Sakura and brought the man back even though he was constantly out on long-term jobs that left him with a problem for the past three years he had nothing to fight for there was no one to save no threats to the Village no animosity between cage no goals to strive for there was nothing going on they were at peace the thing that he and jiah both believed could happen and that was great but it left him jaded day after day he waited for something to happen anything to alleviate his boredom but nothing ever came every day was the same and he was tired of the monotony there were only two things that had happened that were of any real significance the first was having a conversation with the ays of the hyuga clan hanata about her love confession they never had a chance to talk about it after the pain attack since everything happened so fast but now that they were at peace they were finally able to address it he'd let her know that he was flattered but he knew she didn't really love him she was in love with the idea of him and not the person they hadn't spoken enough for her to know what he was really like and as such formed an idea of him especially after he stood up for her against Nei when they were younger hanata was saddened but understood which he was thankful for the second was his relationship with the mizukage soon after the war ended he traveled to each of the other nations to see what life was like for them now without the animosity between them he was free to travel between them with almost no restrictions throughout his time in the midst he noticed how forward May was him she'd compliment his looks rub his arm here and there and always lightly tease him whenever she could they were soon having lunch together in her office until one day she made a move and kissed him he had no issues with this as she was one of the most beautiful women he laid his eyes on however with her being a cage she couldn't up and leave her post to be with him and likewise he wouldn't leave konaha for another Village in the end they settled on a Friends with Benefits type of relationship and he'd visit her whenever he could and they would enjoy each other's company narut was sure Kakashi who'd been appointed as Hokage shortly after the war knew exactly what he and the mizukage were doing but fortunately he never said anything still while having the mizukage under him and sometimes bouncing on top of him was fun for a while it wasn't all he was looking for the thought of traveling had entered his head and would constantly plague his mind even late at night as he drew small circles with his fingers on May's back he'd think about it he'd been to every nation but what about Beyond the Horizon he'd asked Kakashi but the white-haired man said no one knew there had been some Expedition in the past but they reported that it was just Barren plains that eventually lead to the ocean at the time they were constantly on alert and the sensors that had gone hadn't sensed anyone for miles it was deemed unimportant and they didn't bother heading out again since they were constantly on the lookout for enemies that had piqued Naruto's interest the ocean was massive no normal Shinobi would have the Reserves to walk across it but he did hell since he was blessed by the sage he could fly and expend very little chakra doing so the blonde wanted to check it out if it did turn out to be just water then at least he got the idea out of his system if his gut feeling was right then he'd have new lands to explore and new people to meet that sounded good he had a feeling there was more to the world than they were aware of that thought alone was enough to get some of his enthusiasm back a few weeks after that conversation after returning from a visit to may he packed almost everything he had minus furniture and non Necessities into a storage seal he' placed on one of his forearms it took him an hour to get all his clothing tools and food ready he walked out of the building and gave his apartment one final look before heading to the Hokage Tower Kakashi saw Naruto in front of him dressed in black pants and matching black shirt as well as some shoes similar to the ones MAA had on when he was the gentur of the 10 Tails which were just black closed shoes that his pants were tucked into this was a far cry from the usual orange jumpsuit he used to wear Naruto's Sensei looked at him noticing the determined look on the young blond's face so you've made up your mind he noted unsurprised he'd expected this after their last conversation how long do you need he asked Naro blinked just like that he was expecting a little more resistance Kakashi Shrugged and leaned back in his chair we're at peace now and I can always call upon sake if anything happens okay then can I have 3 years I want to see as much as I can if there really is nothing out there you'll have me back within a week he replied Kakashi didn't answer instead he pulled some papers out of the drawers of his desk and began writing you seem confident that there's something out there he said as he jotted something down call it a gut feeling Sensei it's been nagging at me for a while I know there's something I hope there is Naruto Kakashi replied with sincerity have you told the mizukage about this he teased letting him know that he knew of their relationship Naruto chuckled and scratched the back of his neck I let her know a few days ago I asked her to come with me but she was hesitant it's understandable she's still the mizukage after all Kakashi laughed along with his student and stopped writing he pulled out a large red stamp and applied it onto the center of the paper Naruto as of this moment you're not an active Shinobi of Konan you won't be called upon for Missions unless something happens that the village can't handle without you the only thing I ask is for you to send me monthly updates through one of your toads Kakashi said I can do that narut replied anxious to get going Kakashi noticed this and waved his hand go on enjoy yourself narut after everything you've been through you deserve a break have fun Nar smiled thanks Kakashi Sensei I'll see you you soon he walked down the streets of the village taking in the sights as if it were his first time seeing them if everything went as he expected he wouldn't be seeing this place for a while and didn't want to forget after he crossed the Village Gate and was deep within the forest he stopped and activated his six paths mode just as he was about to head out he stopped as he sensed a familiar presence approaching through the trees he tilted his head in confusion not understanding why she was here May what are you doing here he asked curiously she was dressed in her usual dark blue dress with the only change being the fact that her cage hat was missing the auburn-haired woman smiled at his question you're not getting rid of me so easily she answered happily he finally took note of the Scrolls she had clipped to her waist seeing the question on his lips May continued since the war ended I've been grooming chojo for the position I trained him personally and had him learn how to do the pap work after you told me of your plans to see what was beyond our Horizons I thought about it every night I stepped down and had chojo take over he's being Guided by the advisers but he's an intelligent man I have no doubt he'll be a great cage she prays what if they need you he asked chojo has instructions to reach out to konaha and have them contact you to tell me anything important now that everyone's Allied it's no big deal narut nodded that made sense he smiled widely and held his arms open the woman wasted no time in embracing him his body began to levitate until it was high above the trees he turned his body Southwest towards the land of wind and took off at incredible speeds in all his excitement he hadn't asked Kakashi what direction the last people who tried went so he just picked a direction it didn't matter though eventually they'd reach the ocean and then the real journey would begin it took the average shobi 3 to 4 days to run from sunna to konaha and they'd cleared the distance in less than 2 hours at his flying speed he'd contemplated stopping to see gar but ended up deciding against it wanting to clear as much ground as he could in the day the next 8 hours were pretty boring what Kakashi said was partially true he flew through flat Plains with almost no life in it until finally that changed into a Strang looking Forest considering how long he'd flown as well as the speeds he'd hit he wouldn't be surprised if they were the very first people to see this place he was fortunate that he had the ability to cover May in his chakra cloak as well as he wasn't sure her body would be able to handle the speeds they were moving at he slowed down and gently came back down towards the Earth the two Shinobi landed and glanced around as they entered the forest the trees were much larger than those around the land of fire they were taller however and had this distinct Aura around them they almost reminded him of the Shinju except they laugh the malevolent aura that the god tree had Naruto closed his eyes and extended his senses as far as he could once he got a feel for the area his eyes instantly snapped open what's wrong May asked having seen his reaction there's creatures around here some are pretty far off but they're huge i' wager some are larger than even Kurama but not nearly as strong he told her stay on guard the two continued walking through the dense trees taking in the sights and keep keeping on guard in case anything came at them there was just enough light left in the day that they could see but soon night would fall and he really didn't want to find out what kind of creatures lurked around these forests if he could avoid it as they continued forward both of them heard the distinct noise of flowing water sure enough after making their way through more trees they came across what appeared to be a swamp we're getting close to the ocean May announced Naruto turned to look at her when you've lived near Salt Water you remember the smell she explained Nar smiled at last it looks like they were finally about to make it he was going to say something else but stopped as his stomach made itself known by emitting a loud growl he coughed into his hand trying to play it off but it didn't work as the woman broke out into a fit of Giggles come on let's go on one of these branches and have a bite I'm pretty hungry myself she said Naruto followed her and jumped up the tree eager to have some food Unfortunately they didn't get to enjoy their meal they didn't even get to unseal any food as a large serpent lunged at them from the murky Waters below the two Shinobi disappeared from their spot on the branch and reappeared together on another tree across the one they'd been on they moved just in time to see the large snake easily rip through the branch and plumet into the water safe to say the animals around here aren't friendly narut commented as he watched the snake Slither up the tree and face them now that it was completely out of the water the couple was able to get a good look at their attacker it didn't look like any snake they'd ever seen that was for sure it was larger than an average snake with a large lump on its body that resembled a bell the skin on the neck of the snake looked as if it was twisted somehow and had two tails which had what looked to be syringes at the tips the blonde wasn't too scared of the reptile as he'd been swallowed by one of orochimaru's snakes when he was younger and it had been much larger Not only was that one larger but Manda the snake man's boss summon was many times larger and much scarier looking this one just gave him an unsettling Vibe it seems to be guarding something Naro heard kurarama tell him in his mind down there Naruto looked down towards the base of the tree and the area around the swamp and saw what seemed to be rice what kind of rice grew in a swamp he wondered take care of the snake can take some it wouldn't be guarding it for no good reason we can figure out exactly what it is later Kurama ordered Naruto agreed and stretched his neck slightly I don't sense any others like it around but stay on guard I'm going to incapacitate it so we can get some of that Rice he said nodding his head down below May crossed her arms all right but please hurry I haven't eaten in hours she pleaded he gave her a thumbs up before disappearing in less time than it takes a person to Blink Naro was above the giant reptile with two large chakra constructed arms formed the first came down on the snake's head keeping it in place while the other waited as expected the siring Tales tried to stab him but were easily caught and pinned to the tree as well Naruto got a good look at the snake up close and placed a fist on its skin it was hard as steel increasing the pressure exerted by the arms he noticed it took more Force than should be required to do a snake even if it was larger he Shrugged and jumped down Landing safely on the water he picked bundle after bundle of rice and sealed it away along with everything else he must have picked about 30 lbs of the stuff before stopping the snake hissed at him as he did so but it was unable to free itself from the grip his chakra arms had on it having what he needed the blonde willed the arms to rip the snake off the tree and violently shot in another Direction all right let let go he said floating in front of her so she could get on he'd rather not kill the snake if he could avoid it so the two flew through the trees not bothering to look around anymore especially since it was now almost completely dark wait Kurama told him there's something else down there look at the base of that tree up ahead narut looked around and frowned in confusion when he saw something sticking out of the ground near a tree luckily it wasn't one that was inside the swamp but it was still covered with dirt and grass he brought them back down and walked towards it quickly knowing the snake would be on them soon May bent down and carefully pulled out a book it was completely black with no cover art of any sort and the pages while dirty seemed to still be in a somewhat okay condition Nar took the book and gently opened it only to find that he couldn't understand anything that was written it seems to be a journal of some kind judging by where we found it I'd say whoever owned it dropped and left it behind they probably met the snake May guessed narut agreed there's only two words I think on the first page it's probably the owner of the book he said before an excited look appeared on his face you know what this means it means that there are others around if they're not across the ocean then they're somewhere relatively close by his enthusiasm was contagious as May's face also broke out into a smile but was quickly able to get herself under control that's true but let's get out of here first and then we can get excited about it the two didn't have to fly for very long as they quickly made it out of the forest and onto a Sandy Beach the forest was miles behind them so they didn't have to worry about the snake trying to get them again they landed and narut created a small Hut using an earth style Jutsu it wasn't anything fancy like how yumato was able to create homes but it would be enough he created another small structure which may lit on fire courtesy of her lava it would have been smart to grab some wood off the trees but he hadn't thought of that on the count of the giant snake the two Sat side by side finally able to enjoy some food after the long day they'd had it's amazing isn't it may asked breaking their silence he nodded yeah when I decided to set out I didn't know what I'd come across I don't think anyone would have guessed a swamp with a strange looking snake would be out here chuckled the two finished their food and stood up to enter the small shelter he'd created Naro formed the cross-shaped sign and created four clones of himself you guys stand guard I don't sense anything in our immediate area but you never know the four clone saluted him and sat facing a different direction Naruto followed May inside and unsealed a few blankets that he laid across the slab he'd created as a bed the two undressed until they were in boxers and bra and panties respectively and laid down holding one another the bed wasn't as comfortable as they were used to but it would make do for the night the events of the day quickly caught up with the two more so with the blonde and they easily let the Embrace of sleep take them the two were awake the next day at roughly 600 in the morning they didn't have a clock to tell them but he was able to deduce it since the sun was barely peeking Over the Horizon he freed himself from May hold and got dressed before heading outside with but a thought his clones disappeared and their memories were given to him it had been an uneventful night he was glad he stretched and looked out to the ocean and back towards the direction of the large Forest they had been in yesterday now refreshed he activated Sage Mode once again and got a feel for the land the waters were full of life just as big as some of the creatures that he' sensed on land again nothing compared to kurarama who now that he had both halves of his chakra back was even bigger and stronger than he' before he floated High into the air and took a good look at the scene before him he wondered what Kakashi and the others would say when he told them about this in the distance he could see a large volcano Strang looking trees as well as one large one very far off that put the Shinju to shame it stretched High into the darkened skies above it and he could see lightning flashing constantly on another side of the lands he could make out what seemed to be some sort of Coliseum like structure that was made of stone or sand he wasn't quite sure narut couldn't help but think how lucky they seemed to be as their land was seemingly far Out Of Reach from any of the creatures they'd seen he wasn't sure they'd be in trouble per se as high level Shinobi would be able to make quick work of most of the creatures but it would definitely make life more Troublesome as dark as the lands looked it was beautiful at the same time a light went off in his mind as he gazed at the Horizon and he quickly went back down he unsealed a blank notebook and a pen and quickly began jotting down what he'd encountered on the way he quickly filled up two pages describing what he'd come across and took up another two pages drawing the snake he'd seen as well as a rough sketch of the sight he'd just seen the blonde was so caught up in trying to make a good sketch that he almost didn't notice May approaching him from behind and look over his shoulder I didn't know you could draw she commented taking in the drawing even she couldn't help but admit that it was an amazing sight I'm not an artist like sigh but I'm decent I just want to make sure it's accurate enough he said finishing up the last few touches once he was satisfied with the work he closed the book and resealed it the two cooked up a quick breakfast and soon after began stretching are you ready Naruto asked activating his six paths mode once more may nodded and held on to him sighing in content as the warmth of his chakra spread over her the two began to rise higher and higher until she could see what he' ATT tempted to draw like Naruto she couldn't help but be drawn to the large tree off in the distance it must be absolutely massive to look that big even from this distance she commented yeah hopefully we can get a good look one day hold on tight we're going to go faster than yesterday he warned after coming across that journal his motivation and excitement had only increased his hunch about there being more to the world was right and he had a good feeling that crossing the ocean they find something incredible May held on tight and let out a high-pitched squeal as they took off over the next few hours the pair witnessed large sea creatures that Naruto thought might have made good summons from their altitude they were able to make out shadows in the water that took the shape of large serpents whales and even giant squids they'd seen sea animals before but not to this degree the closest he'd seen was the three tals they were sure a few high power Jutsu would be enough to handle them but it was still incredible to see the ocean itself also presented a challenge apart from the gargantuan animals and it took the form of giant waves at one point the Seas were so choppy they actually had to increase their altitude to avoid getting hit Naruto couldn't help but think any regular Shinobi who would venture out this far would have a tough time if they made it to the swamp they'd have the snake to deal with which wasn't overly difficult but what if it was an entire species and not a single reptile not only that but the amount of chakra it would take to cross the ocean was far beyond the reserves of any normal Shinobi you know if I didn't have the six paths ability to fly we'd have probably turned back halfway a few hours into the journey when everything was just flat he commented May nodded yeah after seeing that much empty planes I'd assume it continued that way conversations ceased and they continued flying well into the night Naruto at one point repositioned Mesa she could comfortably lay down down on him and sleep with his only companion asleep Nar had time to think to himself three things bounced around in his mind the first was the sheer size of the world having been flying for nearly 15 hours at the speeds they were going and still only seeing water beneath them it put the size of the world into perspective if anyone were to be watching them they'd see a bright orange flame Zoom past them at break neck speeds finally after almost a full day of non-stop flying the fatigue was beginning to set in sure he had monstrous chakra reserves but it wasn't unlimited however as the sun rose higher and illuminated the world he saw it in that instant all the fatigue and hunger he felt instantly disappeared as he saw land up ahead he gently nudged May's leg with his hand until she groggy woke up what she mumbled look he said pointing up ahead May turned her head and similar to him her sleepiness disappeared the realization that they had made it dawned on them and they seemingly got their energy back it only took a few more minutes of flying to reach solid land the area was full of lush Greenery and off in the distance they could see bright lights as well as a very large Tower easily larger than any buildings they'd seen back home oh my May trailed off as she took in the site with wide eyes Naruto nodded with his mouth wide open yeah he looked to the left and saw regularl looking people staring at them not having seen them fly over here none approached though and quickly went about their business well may asked rhetorically Naruto shook his head from his stuper well let's see what's around I'm curious to see what things are like around here the two followed a path that led towards the city eager to see what the new world was like they didn't have to walk too far to reach the city the trip only taking them about half an hour upon walking down the brightly lit Street the first major Revelation was made to them everyone in this part of the land spoke the same language as them as they could pick up tidbits of conversation from others as they walked they heard things from menial complaints about work gossip and fashion trends there were a few other things however that caught both of their attention the people here seemed to have developed very Advanced forms of transportation they had carriages back home but these seemingly didn't require anything to power them as far as they could see they were much faster as well and completely made out of metal some of the people that walked past them seemed to be talking to their hand that was placed up close to their ear May was very intrigued as to how it worked if he was communicating instantly with someone else that could be very beneficial back home she made a note to look into that as soon as they had the ability to then came one of the most intriguing bits someone happened to mention that they were going to try and earn some money at a place called ev's Arena Nar wanted to know more and asked a local shop vendor what it was about he told the man that the two were Travelers who hadn't ventured out here before and it wasn't exactly a lie the answer he was given pequ both of their interests Heavens Arena was the large Tower they had seen upon arrival and it was a place where Fighters could earn money by battling their way through the first 199 floors any floors higher than that meant you were fighting for Glory and Prestige and wouldn't be awarded cash prize they thanked the man for the information and continued walking we have two main problems May commented as she admired the buildings while they weren't as grandiose as Heaven's Arena they were still well built nicely lit and some even had food stands that led off a wonderful Aroma first while convenient that we speak the same language they use an entirely different alphabet than we do we can communicate verbally but can't write and that'll be a problem for us she said lifting up one finger and the other Nar asked wondering what else she was worried about our money is useless here I overheard someone use the term Jenny and the bills and coins don't look anything like ours so we're going to need money fast we need a place to stay we haven't showered in 2 days she explained wrinkling her nose in disgust at the thought of not having bathed they had the option to bathe in the ocean water but not knowing what could have been in it made a bad idea Naruto's stomach grumbled reminding him that he hadn't eaten in almost an entire day hungry May teased shut up he grumbled and made his way to a small bench that was nearby he looked around to make sure no one was watching and unsealed some small bars handing one over to may he peeled the wrapper and almost inhaled them one by one they weren't the most fulfilling or even the best tasting but for the moment they would have to do after he finished in a few bars he sat back and stared up at the sky for a moment before speaking may he called out to her the auburn-haired woman glanced at him while taking a bite do you feel anything off about the people here he asked to which she nodded yes they don't have chakra there's something there but it seems to be dormant there's been a couple of people who feel slightly different they have the same something they but under control okay so she realized it is well well they seem to be okay without it but it's still strange encountering people with no chakra when we've all been brought up believing that every living creature has it Naruto continued to look around at the various vendors that seem to litter the streets most were selling Goods like clothing Furniture food and even things that looked like random Goods there was one that was separate from the others though people were lined up and were presenting an item to the owner and he'd give them money it was either a pawn shop of sorts or he was in the buying and reselling business wait he said out loud stay here I'll be right back he said as he unsealed three canai from his storage seal they weren't ordinary canai these were made from Chakra conductive metal meaning they were lightweight but very sturdy he had plenty of them and he was sure they'd fetch a good price they might not be able to use them for their intended purpose but seeing as the man had accepted four Swords already he was sure the stall worker would go for them he got in line and waited until he was finally up next good afternoon sir what do you have for me the man asked Naruto placed the three canai on the countertop the man's eyebrows raised seeing the canai and immediately put on some gloves to handle them which Naruto found kind of strange where did you acquire these young men the man asked as he carefully looked over the blade I've had them for a while now and needed some money the man was bouncing it on his palm lightly taking note of how like it was do you mind if I try to cut something with it Naruto Shrugged he watched as the man walked a little deeper into the stall and kneeled in front of a rather large Stone he pulled his arm back and Naruto couldn't help but smirk slightly at the man's reaction when the canai easily embedded itself into the Rock This is on the same level as a mid aab Ben's knife he said with excitement Naruto wasn't sure who this Ben person was but it seemed to be a good thing the older gentleman conducted a few stress tests to try and see how sturdy it was at the base and then attempted to tap another blade he had with it Naruto let out a soft chuckle when the Man's eyes widened after seeing his own blade be sliced as if it was butter the blonde could see money signs appearing on the man's face and knew he would be buying the owner of the stall tried to compose himself but failed the amount of money he could make off the knife was large no doubt all right young man I'll give you 3 million Jenny per knife the young Shinobi remembered seeing a canned drink being sold for 150 Jenny so 9 million was probably enough to get him by for a good bit deal the man took the knives carefully wrapping them up and placing them inside a chest that he locked with three padlocks next to that he opened another one that contained multiple light colored bills which he then counted on the countertop they were large denominations of bills so it didn't take too long to count a pleasure young man if you have anything else you'd like to get rid of please give me a call he said handing Naruto a small rectangular card with his information on it he quickly sealed the money in a separate storage seal for easy access and headed back to May who was looking at him curiously the older woman raised an eyebrow at him as he sat down so how' it go we got 9 million Jenny out of those three can I he said smugly May whistled that should be enough to get us a place to stay for a while I I was worried we might have to camp out again he shook his head yeah I guess chakra conductive metal is different from what they use here come on let's find a hotel and rest up I'd like to continue looking around but my body is screaming at me to sleep we'll have plenty of time to look around May said wrapping her arm around his and beginning to walk off the duo had been fortunate that the canai had fetched a good price the only hotel in the area with vacancy was a lavish looking one that charged 200,000 Jenny per night upon entering the room they could see exactly why it was so expensive they were up on the 15th floor in a room with a large panoramic window that gave them a good view of the city it had a somewhat large black box mounted on the wall two couches a large bed with very fine sheets and a walk-in shower at least with the amount of luxuries provided they could justify the large price point the first thing they did was take a shower unlike back home when they showered this time they simply let all the sweat and grime that built up over the past 2 days slide off their bodies and clean themselves even after they were clean the two threw themselves onto the bed and let their bodies recover from the trip unknown to each other both of them had the same thought of needing to break in both the shower and bed soon xxxxx a month quickly passed for the two Shinobi and their new lives only seemed to get more interesting in that time Naro took it upon himself to create multiple Shadow clones which were then hanged to look like Street kids and had them go out and learn the written language while they had a grasp of the spoken language without someone to explain the alphabet and rules it did them little good in the time that his clones were out trying to find someone who would be willing to teach them they continued to explore the city and enjoy almost everything it had to offer they had stopped by what the locals called shopping malls which was a large area where goods were sold they bought clothes tried new delicious foods and learned of the Customs one of the ones that stood out to him the most was that people gave their given names first instead of their family names something they found interesting was the fact that as they'd suspected the world didn't seem to have Shinobi they had other forms of military but the Shinobi system didn't exist here the closest they had was something called Hunters which he wanted to look more into there also seemed to be a mafia crime family issue that spread around the country as more than once they'd heard that members of a specific Mafia would be seen around the area the way they spoke about them though made it seem as if they weren't too worried may had also bought each of them something called mobile phones which was the device he'd seen the man talking into they were amazed at how technologically advanced the people of this part of the world were they were able to communicate with one another instantly regardless of what part of the world they were in the thought of the world reminded him of another Discovery they had made Nar had bought a map of the world out of a small store near the hotel and it only showed six continents it made no mention of anything across the sea which told them they possibly didn't know there was more Naruto shook his head of the thought and went to finish the letter to Kakashi detailing what had happened so far when he suddenly stopped all at once a rush of information flooded his mind the memories of the Clones returned to him and with them the knowledge of the language it took them two weeks to find someone willing to teach Street rats and in 2 weeks he had the concept down he smiled in satisfaction he grabbed another sheet of paper and rewrote the same paragraph he was writing but in the writing style of the natives here once he was satisfied that he had it down he crumpled the paper and threw it in the waist basket before finishing the letter to the Hokage he jotted down a few more sentences along with a doodle of the sketch he had in his own book and put the paper aside his original plan had been to go into complete detail but now with the knowledge he had he was excited what made you so happy May asked stepping out of the bathroom she was dressed in a dark blue silk robe that hugged her figure nicely it was relatively short stopping a few inches above her knees giving him a view of her long legs the woman coughed twice in a sarcastic Manner and snapped her fingers at him Naruto Shrugged not at all ashamed that he'd been caught gocking at her I got the memories back from my clones I've got a decent grasp of the written language which means I can use the phone and read that journal we found he said excitedly that's great you can teach me after I get ready she said getting some supplies unsealed narut didn't mind that and unsealed the journal in an instant he placed it over the waist basket and tapped the front and back a few times not wanting to make a mess on the ground he made his way over to the small desk where he'd written his letter and opened the book The Pages were damaged both with some water damage as well as regular weathering but the writing for the most part was still legible on the now brownish Pages the first page simply read Zig zoldik must be the owner of the journal he realized he flipped the page and continued today myself along with my two good friends isak Neto and Linny horer will be embarking on a journey to the Dark Continent it is an unofficial trip and it will take approximately 2 months for us to reach I've heard stories of the creatures that lie beyond our sea there are said to be creatures far stronger than we can comprehend similarly there seems to be resources on the land that could greatly benefit the zulic family as well as Humanity as a whole Neo claims to be on the hunt for these resources but he can't fool me he's looking for something or someone to challenge him I can see it in his eyes having mastered nen to such a degree he feels like he might find an opponent here to sat his hunger for battle while I think it is a fool Endeavor considering the danger level we've been warned of so long as it doesn't interfere with my objective I won't say anything I'm not sure what Linny is looking for but I'm grateful that she's coming with us her strength will be a valuable asset in the times to Come As for me my main goal is to collect Nitro rice which is said to extend one's lifespan as well as the herb for all illness which can supposedly cure over 10,000 diseases isk is calling for us I'll document my journey is best I can Naruto closed the book and placed it on the table he unsealed a small bundle of rice he'd taken from the large snake in the swamp and inspected it this is what Zig was looking for can it really extend your lifespan by eating it he thought to himself is this the kind of stuff the world holds that thought brought forth another if this Nitro rice really did have the properties of extending one's life it must be worth a fortune if people were willing to risk their lives to find it not only not only that but the journal also left him with another question what was nen all right he heard from behind him let's get started he turned around to see May having finished getting ready she'd applied a small amount of makeup and wore black skin tight pants that the local women of the area seemed to like as well as a loose blue top that exposed one of her shoulders her hair style remained the same however for the next few hours narut went over the basics of the alphabet with her fortunately May was an intelligent woman and managed to pick it up relatively quickly the sentence structure was almost the same as theirs only with a few minor changes which meant it was a memorization game by the time they stopped she had enough understanding to write her name and basic sentences he didn't doubt that within a week or two she'd be good to go the busty woman sat back and stretched her arms above her head so we have the rest of the day to ourselves where do you want to go Heaven's Arena May rolled her eyes good-naturedly why did I even ask she asked herself narut had made it no secret that he wanted to compete in the arena they hadn't gotten a chance to see any of the matches since they were busy adjusting but it was always in the back of their minds besides there was sure to be some interesting people there if not at least they'd get to see how the martial arts of this world compared to theirs he put on some fitting black pants he bought at the mall at the base of the arena and threw on a black T-shirt with a dark orange stripe that went down the sleeves inside of the shirt it was a small Touch of orange but may liked it so he went with it the walk from the hotel to the arena was only a few minutes away probably another reason why the price for the rooms was so high unfortunately it seemed a lot of people decided they wanted to participate there were all types of people in line from tall to short and skinny to Fat the prize money must be really good to attract this many people the blonde tapped his foot impatiently as the line to register didn't seem to be moving cut that out May whispered to him annoyed by his inability to stand still the blonde grumbled to himself but managed to remain still until it was finally their turn to sign up almost an hour later they walked up to a small window and saw a young woman dressed in pink sitting in front of a computer another machine Naruto wanted to learn the language to use good afternoon she greeted with a cheerful demeanor as this your first time registering with Heaven's Arena are you returning combatants she asked first time both answered at the same time the young woman nodded and typed something down a slight buzzing noise caught their attention it seemed to be coming from beneath the young woman they'd soon be proven right as she reached down and pulled out two sheets that she presented to them along with pens these are consent forms stating you understand the risk of bodily injury just sign your name on the line she and instructed they did as they were told perfect you guys are set would you like me to give you a breakdown of how it works if you wouldn't mind May answered the young woman nodded and cleared her throat she explained that heaven's Arena consisted of 251 floors the first 199 did not allow the use of weapons during combat and offered monetary prizes for winning on the first floor you were rewarded enough money for a drink if you made it to the 50th floor you 50,000 W Jenny floor 100 granted you 1 million Jenny as well as a private room up at floor 150 you earned 10 million in a different room and at floor 190 you 200 million won as well as a much nicer room what about the 200th floor Naruto asked the woman explained to them that upon reaching the 200s you no longer won money you were simply fighting for fame and Glory the top 21 floors were awarded to individuals who won 10 matches and earned the title of floor Master at this point weapons were permitted and if you lost four battles you were disqualified on the other side however if you won 10 matches you had the right to challenge an existing floor Master for their spot and claim a floor for yourself you have 90 days to prepare for a fight but you're allowed to fight every day if you so wish she finished anything else no that'll be all thank you for the explanation the two combatants made their way towards an elevator that was designated to take them to the fighting area and stepped inside this is going to be fun Naruto commented punching an open fist XX you don't look like you're having fun May teased as they rode up the elevator not having fun was an understatement both of them had managed to easily make their way up the floors defeating every opponent in front of them with minimal effort most used standard tautu that he was sure even an Academy student would be able to defeat they'v been there for two hours now and they'd spent more time waiting and riding the elevators than they had actually fighting sheer up she said giving him a peck on the cheek we've won well over 200 million Jenny each and we're heading up to the 200th floor this is where you wanted to fight isn't it she asked he nodded yeah but we're not fighting today he said as the elevator door opened May frowned in confusion upon hearing this why not Naro was about to respond when a of malicious intent took over them it wasn't powerful at all in fact compared to what he's faced it might as well have come from a child the two turned around to see three men staring at them from down the hall May couldn't help but wrinkle her nose in disgust as their eyes took in her form she knew she was a beautiful woman and the effect she had on men but these guys creeped her out one wore a red cloak of some sort and didn't have legs instead he had what seemed to be a metal pole for his lower half the second was a man in a gray tunic of sorts sitting in a wheelchair he had spiky hair and wore a gold headpiece that looked like some sort of helmet the final member of their group was the creepiest of them all he had pale skin and slanted eyes that gave the appearance as if he was wearing a mask he wore an ornate looking tunic of sorts that was blue and white in color and due to the way one sleeve was flailing he was missing an arm neither of the three said anything to them instead they simply watched as Nar and may registered themselves to fight in 40 days the woman in charge booked their dates and gave them the keys to their private rooms May declined hers instead deciding to stay with Naruto the blonde didn't miss how the three men immediately went to the young woman and began signing up they're hoping for an easy win May deduced as they entered Naruto's room Nar chuckled lightly they're in for a surprise then aren't they he asked rhetorically as he sat down on the bed so are you going to tell me why we didn't fight today narut unsealed the journal and held it up I read the first entry today this book belongs to a man named Zig zoldik in it he said something about one of his friends mastering something called n he explained I'd guess what those three idiots outside did was use nen to somehow try and intimidate us the amount of AA here tells me not everyone is as weak as them so it would be a bad idea to go into a battle without knowing what we're dealing with May agreed with the sentiment even though the two of them were powerful Naruto more so it wouldn't do them well to underestimate anyone especially if they used some sort of unknown power she stood up and headed to the computer that was provided with the room now that she knew the basics of the language she was sure she could do a quick search though they couldn't write at the time they could still hear how stuff worked and because of that she knew exactly how to look something up using the computer really really made her think of how different things back home would have been if they had this kind of Technology Zig zoldik she muttered out loud as she typed the name slowly Naruto stood behind her and stared at the screen as she worked it says here he's the oldest living member of the zulic family of Assassins they're situated in the Republic of padoka she read out it even gives their exact address Naruto took the mouse from her and input the address into another search and saw that they were situated on the opposite side of the continent they were on it wouldn't take too long if he flew them there you want to go find him she asked in a knowing tone yeah I think it'll be beneficial I'm sure I can talk him into teaching us more about nen he said May nodded and shut the computer off sounds good now why don't we go get some food and then we can come back and enjoy ourselves she proposed in a sensual manner Nar couldn't have agreed faster if he tried things were about to get a lot more interesting for them the blonde couldn't wait to see what this whole nen business was about sleep would not come to the blonde later that night while he was somewhat tired from standing most of the day at Heaven's Arena and having fun with the red-haired woman sleeping next to him sleep just wouldn't take hold of him he sat up and ran a hand through his hair maybe he could just stare at the ceiling and tell he was too tired to stay up narut threw his legs off the side of the bed and put his boxers back on moving quietly to the desk the new room provided he sat down and turned on the small night lamp that was on it it wasn't too bright the lamp shade managed to keep a good amount contained so he didn't worry about the light bugging may he unsealed zig's journal and opened to the next page since he was going to try and bargain with it he might as well compare how the man's encounters with the outside world compared to his he tried to turn the page and frowned when some of the pages moved together gently he tried to unstick the pages from each other but had to stop when one began to tear that seemed to be the case for a good number of the pages as well which only bummed him out further he ignored those pages and turned to one that while slightly smudged was still legible I'm beginning to think this was a grave mistake we greatly underestimated the dangers that the Dark Continent presented we've only been here a few days but have already had to battle for our lives against some wild creatures that roam the lands when we reached the Southeast shore of Lake Mobius we encountered the first great threat it was a gaseous life form that seemed to grow arms and legs there were no recognizable features to it except the black sockets it had For Eyes the only noise it made was I and while we manag to escape without being harmed I cannot shake the feeling that something is watching me I haven't shared my suspicions with is or Linny but I will if it's deemed necessary currently we're resting in a small cave near a river we've walked well over 6 hours and haven't been attacked we're going to eat and rest before continuing on I don't think getting the herb to cure all is going to happen but I'll do my best to get Nitro rice for the family Naro stopped reading and took a deep breath it was a brief entry no doubt he didn't have the luxury or power to sit around as he pleased he stopped to think about what Zig described in his entry he hadn't seen any gas-like life forms the closest thing he saw was the giant snake guarding the Nitro R thinking about that also brought up another thought his people back home were very lucky that the elemental Nations seemed to be so far away from any other inhabitants sure they had some pretty powerful people but some of the beasts he'd seen would definitely do some damage that was only the larger ones too he didn't know half of what was out there for all he knew some creatures might be Invincible Naruto glanced at the book again considering where he had found it and the condition it was in it must have been there for a long time I can't imagine Zig would just leave it there after going through the trouble of documenting everything he must have had no choice he deduced deciding to get back to the book he turned the page and muttered yes when the next one wasn't stuck together this one depicted a large amount of gas-like creatures that seem to be staring back at you the word I was written at the very top of the page the next few pages were stuck once again until finally he came cross another entry the Expedition is going to end sooner than anticipated we barely made it this far without being killed even isk has accepted that he won't find what he's looking for here there is no powerful opponent here there are no other humans here except us we managed to scale a cliff and what we saw reinforced our beliefs insects larger than the tallest building in Lake mobus carnivorous plants capable of eating equally large wild creatures and groups of deadly swarms ready to attack anything in their way our nen has managed to keep us going some creatures see us as Predators due to our Aura but the larger ones are on another level the hatsu necessary to survive here would need to be otherworldly there is no Victory here no glory only survival tomorrow we attempt to get Nitro rice we'll have to take a detour to avoid detection but it's possible well they definitely made it to the swamp Naruto thought to himself he flipped the pages but found them all empty at the very least he knew that zigg was alive as he was stated to be the oldest member of the zulic family but would he remember the trip since he picked up the journal he'd been curious about the man's journey and having it cut off abruptly only left him wondering he closed the book and yawned before sealing it away again he crawled back into bed and closed his eyes the meeting with the zikes would hopefully sad his curiosity and if it didn't maybe he would look into isk Neo the next day Naruto and may headed out towards the zic estate part of Naruto wanted to go on foot so they could see more of the land but given their time constriction he had to fly them he did make a mental node to travel again on foot if he had the chance to take in the sights he was only here for 3 years and while it sounded like a long time he knew it would pass by in the blink of an eye it was a relatively easy trip though he did have to be on the lookout for the airplanes that the people had created they knew the people were Advanced technologically but the scale of the things they'd managed to create was amazing as May took in the site from above making mental notes to visit some places narut was thinking of something else entirely mainly how would he initiate the conversation zigg was an old man now what if he was haunted by what he saw he didn't want to say anything that might trigger some sort of panic attack then there was the matter of the family being assassins he wasn't exactly scared for their safety but would rather avoid a battle especially if he wanted them to teach him about nen he shook his head of those thoughts while he had gotten better at making decisions based on logic he could only do so much with what he knew he knew they were assassins zigg went on an unofficial trip which could perhaps have been illegal and they could use nen the blonde would deal with it the way he always did he'd figure out what to do when the time came soon the two saw a large volcano in the distance the top of the mountain was tall enough that it went well into the clouds they were closed the estate was situated at the base of the mountain but the main entrance itself was a bit further away Naruto lowered them back down and walked up to a small security building situated next to a large metal gate the door to Hades anyone who's entered has never come out alive May said reciting something she'd read on the computer the public certainly knows how to build suspense and Intrigue Nar snorted in amusement and approached The Man Behind the glass excuse me the guard looked up from his book a look of curiosity on his face yes what can I do for you I was hoping you could tell me how to reach Zig zulic I have something I'd like to talk to him about Naruto replied the gate guard's face changed from Curious to Serious within seconds putting his book down he stood up and walked over to the phone the man turned his back to them and put the phone up to his ear narut and may raised an eyebrow at each other as the man spoke in a hushed whisper to someone on the other side after a few seconds the man hung up and turned around with an apologetic look on his face I'm sorry young man but Zig Sama is currently unable to meet with you he said unlike others when he apologized his tone had actual sincerity May stepped a bit closer would it be too much trouble for you to call one more time this time tell him we know we have something that belongs to him from a trip he took a few years ago the man's curiosity returned they could see it in his face but he didn't ask instead he simply nodded and picked up the phone once more the conversation was longer this time he would shake his head no then mutter a few things and glance back at them occasionally what are your names he asked Naruto Uzumaki the blonde responded remembering to give his given name first mayumi the beauty answered unlike him she seemed to still be trying to get comfortable with using her given name first after about 5 minutes on the phone he hung up and took off his cap and jacket revealing a white sleeveless shirt underneath the two inhabitants of the Dark Continent walked over to the door the man had just opened to meet him it seems the zulic family is curious as to what you possess unfortunately it won't be as simple as just allowing you entry they wish to see if you're worthy of entering the estate also before I forget allow me to introduce myself my name is zebro the two bowed slightly in greeting zebro stood directly in between the two metal doors and glanced back at them the official name of these doors is that testing gate I should mention that each one of these doors weighs 2 tons each when you go up a gate the weight doubles so here we have 4,000 lb they saw his body begin to Glow a thin white Aura gathered around him and his body began to change his somewhat chubby physique began to change to that of a well-built older man he placed his palms on the doors and gave a hard push sending the doors open as quickly as they opened the doors closed letting them know that once they were in they were trapped unless they made it all the way so there's 256 tons in total with the seven Gates narut asked rubbing his chin the man nodded that is correct should you make it past the seventh gate one of the Butlers of the family has been instructed to take you to the main house also he said quickly there is a large guard that lives in the forest of the estate since you're entering through the testing Gates he won't harm you I just don't want you to be caught off guard when you meet Mike he warned the two thanked him and walked up to the gate there was no way the common person would be able to push these open which meant the zikes were either stronger than the regular person or these were intended for nen users as some sort of training it was clear by zebo's body transformation that nen had the ability to strengthen the body similar to how they could enhance theirs with chakra but what else could it do May placed her hands on the gates and channeled a small amount of chakra to her arms and pushed zebo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he watched the two open the door as if it was made out of paper just follow the path and you'll come across the next gate he said still in shock did you see the look on his face narut laughed as they walked up the hill the two laughed silently to themselves neither worried about the animal in the woods that seemed to be watching them both of them had easily sensed his presence the moment they set foot in the forest and while it was bigger than any normal animal it was nowhere near the size of the beu soon the two came across the second gate and this time it was Naruto's turn using even less chakra than may he pushed the gates open unknown to them the zulic family as well as the Butlers were watching the display through the many cameras set up around the perimeter they'd seen people attempt to enter and some even making it past the first three gates none however did it with as much ease as Naruto and may were displaying it took them about half an hour to make it all the way up to the final gate which Nar again proceeded to make light work of walk through the final gate the two were greeted to the sight of a tall man in a black and white suit he had short hair and a small goatee welcome to the zulic estate the man spoke in a formal tone my name is godo one of the many Butlers employed by the zoldik family the two greeted back and waited for him to speak once more I've been instructed to take you to the family please follow me he said nothing more and began walking the walk from the gate to the house was only about 5 minutes and after passing a nice Garden they made it to the front door the man raised a hand without looking back and entered the large Mansion a minute later he returned and motioned them to follow him inside talk about being well off Naruto commented as they walked down the halls of the estate pictures of multiple people lined the halls and valuable looking furniture was in every room they passed must get paid very well per contract May responded they arrived at a large room where people were standing seemingly waiting for them there were multiple couches around the room with a NIC looking table in the center it seemed to be a conference room or at least one where many people could gather for whatever reason goo bowed to the family in motion for May and Naruto to sit down which they did that wasn't to say they had dropped their guard far from it but they didn't want to seem rude after being invited in the butler soon took his leave leaving the two alone with the famous family of assassins the two foreigners took a second to size up the people in front of them likewise they seemed to be doing the same thing the tallest and most physically built man was a blonde with long hair and wore a very dark two-piece fighting GI that was held together by a red sash at his waist the main thing that caught their attention was his eyes he had a Stony look on his face that was only accented further by the blue catlike eyes they reminded Naruto of his when he would use some of karama's chakra next to him was an older man with white hair styled upwards he had a mustache that actually hung down his face slightly he stood with his hands behind his back and slightly hunched forward his pants were dark with gray straps running up and down in a diagonal pattern he wore a dark purple sleeveless shirt with a white sign a top it that read aill a day they certainly carry themselves well Nar thought next to him was a woman in a large ornate dress and hat that gave away nothing of the figure hidden beneath the only thing he could see was the strange glasses that had a red dot in the center at her leg was a short blackhaired child in a small kimono staring back at him curiously next to him was a chubbier member with black hair wearing a pink shirt and khaki pants like the others he was also on guard but his presence wasn't as strong as the other three men he' just observed finally the shortest man in the group and the one that Naro was most curious about he was a short bald man his skin was wrinkled age no doubt having taken its toll on him he wore a jacket along with some black pants and some sandals the man stared back at him and tilted his head no doubt wondering what someone like him could want with him the tall blonde walked forward welcome to my family's home I'm the head of the zulic family Silva zoldik a pleasure to meet you he greeted with a very small bow Naruto and may stood up and reciprocated the gesture and recited their names even though they were sure zebro had told them already since you made the Trek up here allow me to introduce the family before we begin he motioned to the white-haired old man this is my father Zeno zic the old man nodded Silva went down the line of family members introducing him to his wife kikio their sons Cudo and mili then finally the man of the hour Zig zoldik a pleasure to meet you and thank you for taking the time to meet us May greeted when the man was finished Zeno sat down on a couch situated across from them and placed his hands on his knees I am curious what could two people as young as yourselves need with my grandfather he asked the other family members sat down with the exception of miliki who was only present for formalities and soon after left to his room narut looked at them one by one well I do want to talk to him but I'm hoping the rest of you can help me as well Zeno and Silva raised Ane eyebrow at the same time narut and may both saw the father-son relationship instantly you wish to have someone assassinated Silva asked Naruto shook his head not exactly what I'd like from you has nothing to do with assassination but rather nen he revealed everyone in the room frowned not in anger but rather in confusion Zeno cleared his throat and spoke you don't know how to use nen how can that be we can feel the aura spilling out of you too like a fuc it I go so far as to say you have the most raw Aura I've ever felt he said that the last part directed at the blonde they can feel our chakra Nar and may thought at the same time I was never the best at suppressing it but I thought I was doing a good job Naruto added no we don't know how to use nen however I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement but let's leave that for later right now I'd like to show you something he said the family watched an interest as he unsealed the black Journal from the seal while nobody said anything he didn't miss the look of intrigue on their faces as he unsealed the book no doubt they were making a mental folder on him engaging his abilities ziggs usually half lited eyes widened when he saw the journal Naruto held it out in front of him and with shaky arms the eldest zulic took it from him where did you get this zigg asked as he looked over his old Journal narut could see the man lose himself in his thoughts probably thinking back to the trip I found it the family looked at zigg who was flipping through the pages reading over his words from years ago what is it Zeno asked it's my old Journal that I wrote during my trip to the Dark Continent he revealed shocking the family they weren't surprised that he'd been there it was common knowledge among the zic family what shocked them was the implications of what it meant I had to leave it behind when we were attacked by the hell bell trying to get Nitro rice isk and I were exhausted after how long we had traveled and didn't have the strength to fight and steal the rice he explained Nar was glad he didn't even have to ask him to tell him what had happened now he had a name to associate the giant snake with he could guess it was called the hell bell due to the large lump it had right at the neck I can only think of one possible way for you to have this Silva commented the two of you made your way to the Dark Continent under the v5s nose and managed to survive the family looked to Silva then back to the pair waiting for confirmation the possibility that two people this young made it to the Dark Continent and made it back in one piece was nothing short of incredible narut shook his head not exactly he responded before looking back to Zig there's a part of your Journal that stuck with me you said there is no powerful opponent here there are no other humans here except us you weren't exactly right the two Shinobi didn't have to wait long before realization dawned on the family none of the stoic looking assassins could hide their shock this time sitting in front of them were the first humans claiming to be from the Dark Continent it went against everything both the recorded expeditions to that place recorded zig's own experience told him that life in that place was near impossible for humans it was almost impossible to believe that they were telling the truth the one thing that stopped them from denying the possibility was the fact that they had ziggs Journal one that the man remembered dropping in the swamp when facing the hell bell you're claiming to be from the dark continent how did you get here why how are you alive Zig asked the excitement in his voice surprised the rest of the family zigg was a mostly quiet old man who participated in assassinations from time to time but he never showed too much outward excitement to see him firing off questions with excitement in his tone was strange May cleared her throat and took over to be honest we didn't know that our home was part of the Dark Continent our land as we discovered was very far from any other Wildlife so far that no one had ever ventured far enough to discover any of the creatures that existed I found myself wondering what could possibly be out there for a few years and one day decided I was going to find out narut continued May and I made our way out and found out exactly how big the world really was we actually encountered the hell bell you were talking about he told Zig at the end you encountered the Beast and survived yeah it was pretty tough but nothing I could handle he said said nonchalantly the family looked at them like they'd grown a second head not only were they from the Dark Continent but they spoke of one of the five threats as if it was a minor inconvenience how powerful were these people Zeno cleared his throat getting everyone's attention it seems this isn't a conversation that can be discussed in a short period of time we have a job to do today so why don't you two stay with us for tonight I'm curious as to how your people differ from ours and I'm sure you have questions for my grandfather zigg nodded Silva agreed with what his father proposed and spoke you mentioned wanting to know about nen and I'm curious as to what the source of your power is since you claim to not possess nen narut knew the man was interested in his chakra his interest had only increased when he saw him unseal the journal he still hadn't told them that he was in possession of nitro rice he'd saved that as a trump card in case they didn't want to teach him narut planned on giving some to Zig anyway but he wouldn't let them know that just yet despite the reputation they garnered as coldblooded assassins the zulic family proved to be kinder than anyone could think while Silva and Zeno left on a job kikio provided them a room for the night and gave them a tour of the estate zigg took the journal back to his room and Naruto was certain the man was going over the entries multiple times he could only guess what was going through the old man's head at the moment though the aged man hadn't said much after their initial conversation he did say he wanted to discuss more during dinner while kikio walked them through the various parts of the house both narut and may sensed that something was slightly off it had nothing to do with kikio though both of them were slightly curious as to what the woman looked like without the eyepiece no it felt as if there was another presence in the area it wasn't suffocating like the malice that could have been felt when kurarama was angry a few years ago it was both kind and malevolent at the same time it almost reminded narut of himself he'd been told that his chakra was warm but deep within one could feel the Sinister Aura of kurarama the blonde focused and extended his senses within a second he found that it came from somewhere inside the estate it seemed to be in one place and gave off no indication that it wanted to escape so he didn't dwell on it as much as he tried though the lingering presence stayed in the back of his mind later that night the entire family minus one of their children who they hadd been told was out at the moment enjoyed a warm dinner the food was incredible and it was revealed that Zig had told the chefs that there were very important guests staying with them so they made the best meals they could throughout the dinner zigg recounted his experiences in detail Naro learned of the things he'd seen and encountered apart from the stuff in the journal to say he was immersed in the conversation was an understatement it was one thing to read about an experience it was a completely different thing to hear it directly from the man who was there even May who was the more levelheaded of the two was drawn into the conversations asking questions mostly about how they'd survived with nen and trying to fish for information about it while they had seen zebro use it to enhance his body they were certain there was more to it they were going to learn about it anyway but if they could get a little Head Start why wouldn't they it seemed that they had vastly different experiences out there the main cause of that being attributed to their power where Naruto was certain he could survive Zig knew that even if he was young again his chances were slim to none soon the conversation shifted from Zig to Silva and Zeno if you're the first to travel this far out that means you've lived all your life in the Dark Continent correct Zeno asked taking a bite of his food correct if you don't mind us asking how old are you to Silva asked both of them 20 31s they answered at the same time keep in mind we were fortunate enough that our home seemed far enough away to not get caught up with the creatures that inhabit that place it's either that or they're staying away for another reason entirely May added Zeno hummed in thought we may never know exactly why the dark continent is a large place and the things that happen are Beyond Comprehension there's a reason the governments of the world have forbid traveling to the land the survival rate is 0.04% he revealed damn Naruto muttered it didn't seem unbelievable though after what he'd seen he was sure the survival rate for most Shinobi of the El mental nations would also be fairly low after dinner kikio excused herself and Cudo leaving the two alone with the three men Naruto San May San the pair looked to the eldest man of the family I'm curious you seem to have some sort of energy within you similar to nen though it feels more potent can you tell us about that he asked politely Silva nodded his head having sensed the same thing when they arrived Naruto glanced at May who Shrugged her shoulders lightly what you're sensing is what the people of our home are born with he put his hand out in front of them and channeled his chakra into his palm forming a renon with minimal effort this is chakra the combination of physical and spiritual energy given form letting the renon disperse he continued the strange thing is no one around here seems to have even a little bit in their bodies which was strange to me since we've been told everything contained it your bodies have another source of energy within them spreading all over as opposed to us who have a sort of network for it to travel through we're both human and yet our anatomies seem to differ slightly Zeno commented perhaps it's an evolutionary effect that your people needed to survive he theorized probably shouldn't tell him that we were given the chakra by a goddess he thought to himself still it seemed that Kay's reach hadn't been worldwide after all if no one here had chakra the family seemed to have enough on their hands with them being from the Dark Continent he didn't want to think how they would react to the existence of gods as well regardless Zeno continued as he began circling around them even though I can sense this chakra within you I can also tell you that you do indeed have or nodes meaning you can have access to nen Nar could sense a but coming and he wasn't disappointed when Silva spoke next however nen isn't something that is taught lightly in fact most people can go there entire lives without learning of its existence the only people who ever bother to learn it are Hunters May perked up at the word having wondered about it since she heard of it I've actually been curious about these Hunters she commented what exactly do they do what are they hunting people seem to hold them in high regard Hunters are a select group of people who have proven themselves to be elite members of society by taking an exam held by the hunters Association Silva began if they pass they're granted a license to go almost anywhere in the world and do almost anything narut and may were both surprised they were basically immune from consequences if granted Hunter status it seemed neither of them missed the key word in the man's sentence though almost I assume since no map of the world shows the Dark Continent only Hunters are aware of its existence May asked she'd recalled earlier how Silva mentioned that in order to go they'd have to make it through something called the 5 the head of the zulic family shook his head only a select group of people are aware of its existence even among Hunters that's also one of the places that a hunter's license doesn't Grant you access to not only do you have permission to travel you're also granted a vast amount of money however there are a few rules to being a hunter you must always be on the hunt for something and learning nen is a requirement Zeno finished that was interesting so the moment you became a hunter you were pretty much set for life on the condition that you hunt something and can learn nen would it be possible for you to teach us how to use nen Naro asked trying to keep the excitement from his voice down the three zulic men glanced at each other quickly all having a mental conversation in a split second while we're grateful to learn a bit more about the Dark Continent and even meet inhabitant learning nen from us won't be free Zeno replied with a formal tone of voice he quickly switched from a curious old man wanting to know about them to the contracted killer he was they wanted something from them and they would need to pay just like everyone else I'm also curious as to why Zig commented after coughing twice the energy we can feel from you is potent so much so that I've only ever met one person with a presence as strong as yours he commented referring to Neo if this chakra has allowed you to survive your entire life in the dark continent and even against the hell bell should that not be enough the pair shook their heads before coming here we were at Heaven's Arena we made it to the 200th floor and were greeted by three men who directed some energy at us it was weak but there's others there that were more powerful May began while we confident in our abilities we don't know enough about nen to go into it blindly the Assassins understood it was unwise to underestimate an opponent even if you believed yourself far above them one wrong move one calculation and that could be the end of you I see was all Zig said though the pair had a feeling he wanted to say more Naruto inwardly smirked he knew there would be a chance that this would be the case and he was prepared how about a trade Silva raised an eyebrow and nodded at him to continue you teach us nen in the basics and in exchange I'll give you some of this he said unsealing 10 small bundles of nitro rice zig's eyes widened once more as one of his goals from his journey was held out in front of him Nitro rice said to expand one's life if consumed this is what you risked your life for isn't it now it's sitting right in front of you deal Silva said extending his right hand Naruto took the offered hand and shook it with a solid grip he did the same with Zeno and Zig and they repeated the process with May if there was one thing Naruto respected about the men in the family it was that they recognized May's power not once did they gole her or Treat Her less than him May appreciated the fact that they didn't seem to care about the 11-year age difference between the two back home no one would say anything but their eyes would judge they didn't see any of that Here Naruto placed the small bundles on the table and soon a butler arrived to take the ingredients the two did notice that he held them with extreme care and his hunch about them being worth a lot was reinforced very well we can perform the water divination test tonight and go over the four major principles then tomorrow we'll begin applying them is that acceptable Silva asked the pair nodded in acceptance Silva called for one of the Butlers to bring two glasses full of water out which were then placed in front of the pair Naruto noticed them place a small Leaf at top the water and wondered what purpose it served Zeno walked around the table until he was standing behind them and spoke would you too mind standing up for a moment I'm going to forcibly open your order nodes and then we can begin Naruto and may stood up but kept their back to the man for his instructions they felt one of his hands on their back and then a strange sensation washed over them a white Aura surrounded them before shooting out in every direction all three members of the zalic family looked on in shock at how much Aura was pouring out of the two it was as if they had an endless amount Naruto looked down at his hands to see the white Aura continuously flow out of him likewise may also had the same issue though output was visibly less than his every microle in your body has been opened that aura is Your Life Energy Zeno lectured this is what you were sensing from the people here the more it leaks the more fatigued you'll become and if enough escapes you'll collapse Nar blinked that was it that's not so bad May quipped to which Nar chuckled if we expand all our chakra we die so this is actually a little safer the Assassin couldn't help but Wonder just what kind of Life they'd live to say that so nonchalantly Zeno composed himself quickly and continued regardless we must get it under control focus on keeping the aura from escaping close your eyes and visualize the aura flowing through your body Naruto and may did as they were told and before Zeno could continue everything stopped the aura diminished to a small coating around their body it was rather simple for them they already had a chakra Network so focusing the aura to follow the flow through the body made it easy to contain the blonde looked at may his eyes locking onto the aura that constantly hugged her Silva didn't say anything but his mind was racing the amount of a they gave off was unnatural he knew they were powerful but with their nen nodes opened they were on a completely different level glancing at the Elder members he could tell they were thinking something along the same lines they'd have to make sure they were on good terms with them H now that you have that under control let me give you a simple overview of the four principles of Nan Zeno lectured the four principles are ten zetsu Ren and hatsu ten is the ability to keep your aura nodes open but keeping the flow of Aura under control it must remain flowing through the body with the nodes open so as to not leak in large quantities you seem to already have a decent grasp of it he commented May looked at the light coating of Aura around her body and spoke so in essence we're keeping our very life force from escaping the old man nodded that's correct mastering this is what allows n users the gift of longevity because you're in essence hoarding Your Life Energy hearing this Naruto made a mental note not to let Oro chimaru catch wind of this even though the snake man had seemingly turned over a new Leaf he didn't want to take any chances if the man found out there was a way to make that immortality he had sought possible who knows what he'd do glancing at his arm Naruto wondered something so does this act as a form of protection as well before they could answer the blonde continued three guys in Heaven's Arena attacked us with nen when we exited the elevator in theory keeping the aura around our bodies should be able to prevent anything they try from doing damage no this time it was Silva who answered correct it can protect you from basic emotional attacks as well as physical ones to an extent after the brief answer Zeno continued his lecture next is zetsu Naruto resisted the urge to scoff he hated that word due to the black mass that had caused nothing but hardship back home zetsu takes the application of ten a step further to close the Ora nodes and suppress your aura entirely this will hide your aura from other nen users and has the added benefit of getting you used to sensing the aura of others he finished getting a feel for others aura that could be useful I wonder if all be able to find out what nen category they fall into he thought to himself he could already get a feel for people who used nen and even regular people maybe now he'd be able to tell which ones were more competent than others he didn't get a chance to continue his train of thought as Zeno continued next is Ren Ren focuses on using your aura in an offensive manner one projects their ore outward which will in turn be able to enhance your own physical abilities Ren is also the basis for the emotional attacks we mentioned earlier if you temper your will you can manifest it through your nen it's similar to channeling chakra through the body to strengthen it that's probably what zebro did to open the first gate then tempering your will is probably what those three guys did at Heaven's Arena he realized as Zeno taught them he couldn't help but notice how many similarities nen had to chakra tempering your will was also basically just letting your killing intent manifest finally there is hatsu this is the user's expression of nen your aura is given life in the form of a unique ability that usually reflects the user's personality or desires naturally the technique will also reflect your natural n Affinity which we're about to discover he said motioning to the cups the pair turned back to the cups of water and gently scooted the chairs off to the side so they could stand Silva walked around the table and stood in front of them with his arms crossed you'll want to put your hands on either side of the cup and use Ren your nen category will be revealed based on what happens may let out a large amount of Aura before focusing on dialing it back a bit what kind of reactions should we be looking for she asked curiously if the volume of water changes you fall under the enhancer category if the taste of the water changes you're a transmuter if impurities appear in the water you fall under the conjuration category if the color of the water changes you're an emitter if the leaf above the water moves you're a manipulator finally if something completely different happens then you're a specialist we'll cover what all these categories mean tomorrow Silva assured narut watched on in Fascination as May placed her hands near the cup and let her Aura flow it took a few seconds until something happened the water quickly changed from clear to a very dark blue so she was an emitter she smiled and turned to him eager to find out what his Affinity would be Nar followed their instructions and activated Ren as he placed his hands near the cup unlike may his water didn't change color in fact none of the normal reactions happened instead his Leaf split down the middle and quickly sank to the bottom of the glass specialist he thought to himself well that settles that Zig commented why don't we stop here for the night the two of you can get used to the feeling of your or and tomorrow we'll go over each category in detail the pair agreed and after being denied washing their own dishes soon made their way to the bedroom they were given so what did you think the men heard Naro ask may as they left the kitchen once they were certain the pair had made it to their room Zig broke the silence the amount of or those two possess is frightening Zeno agreed with his grandfather's statement and turned to his son we might have just created two monsters your thoughts Silva he ordered while he was no longer the head of the family he was still the only one who could occasionally give the man an order Silva rubbed his chin in thought for a moment before replying if we ever given a contract with them as the target it'll be refused no amount of money is worth the effort and power it'll take to kill people of their caliber both former heads agreed having had similar thoughts when Zeno opened their Ora nodes while they're polite and kind enough my body was on edge the entire time they were in front of us mind you that was before they could use Ren Zeno commented we'll have to form some sort of alliance with them the two men didn't reply instead gave him a look that said explain the zics have always been a neutral force in the world we help anyone so long as they have the money to hire us but these are two individuals we cannot risk having against us zigg nodded and scratched his head before responding what will we offer them teaching them then was part of a deal training and protection Silva responded with no hesitation no doubt their strength will be known soon and questions will arise people that strong couldn't go under the radar Silva's father closed his eyes in thought for a moment and a second question soon entered his mind we will have to form two separate alliances they don't appear to be married so we aren't dealing with one entity the head of the family shook his head married no but definitely in some sort of relationship ship we'll offer them training and protection and in the event that they stay permanently we'll offer an official alliance between families after they wed zenoh hung I supposed that could work why don't we dwell on this another time I've had enough for one night with that the men dispersed to their rooms everyone had a lot on their mind xxxxxxx the pair ended up staying with the zalic family for the next 25 days the day following the water divination test they had been given the rundown on the different n categories and had even been offered the chance to use their training grounds an offer that they readily agreed to they still had plenty of time before their fight at Heaven's Arena so they weren't too worried the zulic offer to train them further had also come as a slight surprise considering they had required payment for teaching them nen but Naruto deduced they wanted to see what they could do with chakra that was something the blonde was happy to oblige the elemental attacks didn't seem to shock them any considering the abilities nen provided he was sure they had seen their fair share of elements Silva and Zeno being transmuters both had a strong inclination to lightning and their hatsu reflected that out of all the things they saw from the pair what caught their attention the most was their ability to walk on water in any sort of surface it made sense as assassins having that ability could make their jobs much easier when Zeno went over the different categories of nen Naro continued to see the similar ilities between the two power sources like chakra had five different nature affinities nen had six categories the first was enhancement which was the ability to strengthen yourself or objects transmutation was the ability to change your aura to mimic the properties of another substance in the case of Zeno and Silva they transmuted their Aura into lightning based attacks emission which was the category May fell into had the property of detaching one's Aura from their own body While others could also use it if their category was close enough theirs would decrease in power the further their Aura got from them may however would be able to retain the strength due to it being her natural category manipulation was the ability to control animate or inanimate objects the zulic mentioned that their sons ilumi and Cudo were both manipulators one was taking the hunter exam and the other hadn't been around for them to see his ability conjuration gave one the ability to create objects objects from their Aura finally there was specialization which gave the user a unique ability neither of them had begun crafting their hatsu yet instead focusing on familiarizing themselves with the basics and beginning to delve into the more advanced applications three good examples were guo n and n guo was an advanced application of Ren where you directed Aura to your eyes in order to see in N constructs that had been concealed within in was an advanced application of zetsu that rendered one's or imperceptible effectively concealing it n which was one that narut managed to get down easily was the application of Ren spreading their Aura outward and using 10 at the same time to shape the aura around a certain area with the user being the epicenter the blonde found that using an allowed him to feel the shape and movement of anything that was inside his Aura it was almost like sensors only he'd argue this was slightly better as a sensor one could sense chakra and movement but within he could basically get a clear picture or whoever was in his space Zeno told him that he was a natural Master of the application as his ends seemed to cover well over 8,000 M for comparison Zeno was considered a master and user and his range only extended out 300 M narut couldn't help but think that had the Assassins been born with chakra they'd have been Elite Shinobi for sure they wasted little to no movements they were silent and their strikes were precise the two Dark Continent native found that out through one-on-one training Silva had mentioned that the best way to get him used to directing his nen for protection was through battle today the two blondes were sparring once again in Naruto's objective was to keep guo while continuously defending against the man's attacks Naruto parried a punch and returned one of his own then jumped back to create some space they'd been sparring for the better part of an hour now and Naro had yet to be winded if anything it was getting used to the sensation of using his life force to battle that he had to get used to his Aura felt lighter than chakra did easier to use despite only having had access to your nen for a few days you seem to have a decent grasp of it Silva commented as he walked forward it's unfortunate that we can't help either of you with your hatsu we don't have any Specialists or emitters in the family Naruto waved it off and turned to see May training with Zeno the old man was fast but may was still able to keep up her Ora quickly maneuvering to protect whatever part he was aiming for you've done more than enough we really appreciate the hospitality and your willingness to help us it was nothing the man responded he Stood Beside Naruto and watched the two continue their training so you're leaving today Nar nodded yeah there's a few places we want to see before we go back to Heaven's Arena I'll admit I'm pretty curious to see what kind of nen abilities I'll come across the man nodded and reached into one of his pockets he pulled out a small card and handed it to his fellow blonde if either of you need a place to stay or help with something feel free to seek us out Nar inspected the paper and saw there were two different numbers on it those will get you in contact with my father and I directly he clarified Naruto carefully pocketed the paper and shook hands with the man they stood in silence for a few minutes content to watch the Elder zic and may finish their training later that night the two departed though not before once again thanking the family for their help and zigg for telling him of his travels we'll be at Heaven arena for the next couple of days if you need anything Naruto shouted as they made their way down the mountain the family saw them off and to everyone's slight surprise zigg was the first person to turn away and head back inside when asked why he seemed to be in a rush he answered I need to make a call nobody asked questions as they knew there was only one other person he'd have contact with and that was the chairman of the hunters Association the next 15 days were spent simply enjoying the sights while continuously practicing nen may had mentioned that she had an idea of what she wanted her hatsu to be and had been studying up on how exactly it would work he was happy for her of course even if she didn't tell him what it would be but it left him wondering what he should make his be she at least had a template of what she could do detach her Aura then strengthen and manipulate since they were the two closest categories to her natural Affinity as a specialist he wasn't as restricted but he also didn't have a basis on what he could do are you ready May asked breaking him from his thoughts you're set to fight gido in 10 minutes she informed him Nar left the thoughts of his hatsu behind and stood up to stretch after having sparred with Silva and Zeno and getting a better feel for nen he was sure gido wouldn't be too much of an issue the two made their way to the arena and broke off May gave him a peck on the lips and walked towards the waiting area for Fighters Naruto was led to the main Arena by one of the judges where he saw gido waiting for him near the center of the Ring the man was balancing himself with his Cane and seemed to be staring at him though with those yellow eyes he couldn't be sure ladies and gentlemen the first fight of the day will now begin between Naruto Uzumaki and gido one of the announcers commented through the speakers Naro activated guo and saw the aura surrounding gido begin to travel towards his can ready begin Naruto watched as the man raised his Cane and placed some sort of spinning top in the center before waving a hand in front of it that top quickly turned into 10 all spinning rapidly that the man deployed onto the battlefield each top was coated with the man's Aura and began to bump into each other narut raised an eyebrow this must be the man's hatsu he realized the tops made their way towards him changing their patterns as they did so the blonde tilted his head left and then right to avoid the projectiles and dashed forward as he expected another top made its way towards him as he closed the gap between them in an act that surprised gido Naruto raised his right hand and let the top collide with the back of it the spinning top bounced off having done no damage to the blonde Naruto smirked and pulled his arm back ready to strike he noticed gido's Aura begin to condense around him and within seconds the man himself began spinning at high speeds his punch ricocheted off and he was forced to jump back to avoid five tops aiming at him huh should have distributed the aura a little better he thought to himself as he watched gido come to a halt he could have ended the fight quickly with a chakra enhanced punch but he wanted to get some more experience with his nen unlike the spars with the zikes this was an actual battle so he didn't know what kind of attacks would be coming as long as I can spin in my tops remain you won't win gido commented smugly no doubt he thought highly of his Techni he's the type that if his confidence is shattered he'll Bend easily he thought to himself he could have simply attacked with greater force and break his defense but that wouldn't be satisfying at that moment Zeno's words came back to him if he tempered his will he could manifest it through his nen he smirked inwardly and closed his eyes much to the confusion of the crowd and the annoyance of gido who felt like he was being disrespected Naruto used Ren and focused on his power the power he' G gained from training all those years the power granted to him by the sage and the power he' gained from learning nen in one motion he let the difference in their power be shown through his Ren everyone in the arena felt the presence of an apex predator staring down his prey as expected gido's tops stopped spinning and the man's Aura became uncontrolled Gathering the aura to his arm he disappeared and reappeared in front of the man his fist was inches away from his face there was no way for him to block it g was punched clean in the face hard enough for him to be tossed onto the ground earning Naruto one point for a clean hit the top looking man got back up and instantly Naruto was on him he avoided the tops with little difficulty and made his way towards the man like last time he began spinning his Aura protecting him from damage this time however Naruto was prepared he could tell he had multiple times as much Aura as the man and as such was able to easily overpower the spinning his hand reached forward and grabbed gido by the face stopping him mids spin a quick barrage of right and left punches followed by a knee to the gut put the man face down on the concrete that small barrage brought his point total up to four for a critical hit and a knock down narut had to give the man credit for still getting back up even though he did have trouble doing so narut watched as the 10 tops quickly turned into 50 and began bouncing around each making their way towards him as gido retreated back not wanting to deal with everything again he decided to get a little serious he caught one of the tops in midair and began using it to deflect every top that tried to hit him seeing that he was attacking again gido began to spin at an even faster speed the aura around him also increasing Naruto did note though that while he did have more Aura it also seemed to be fluctuating he's running low this is a desperate maneuver Naruto thought he dodged top after top and chucked the one in his hand towards the man's head just as thought whether it was conscious or unconscious gido focused nen towards the top half leaving his leg unattended Naruto used that small window to dash over and easily swipe his leg from under him before the man could hit the ground Naruto used his same leg to sweep around and slam into the man's gut hard enough to leave a small crater in the concrete one of the referees rushed over to assess the damage and saw that the human top wasn't moving gido is unable to continue winner Naruto Zaki the crowd cheered loudly at the display even though some were disappointed that they didn't see any special moves from him gido was moved by medical staff and the arena was being fixed for May's fight against revelt to say that the match was one-sided would be an understatement May was easily able to dodge the man's wheelchair based attacks she was momentarily surprised when the man used two whips that were electrically charged but even they couldn't do much the woman was flexible agile faster and stronger he did feel slightly sorry for the guy when may speed blitzed him and forcibly tossed him out of the wheelchair the man took five or so hits to the face before he hit the ground and was deemed unable to continue he did shake his head in Amusement when she bowed to the crowd as they cheered for her and blew a kiss at the camera filming instantly she become a fan favorite that was pretty easy wouldn't you say he asked as they made their way back to their room their next fight wasn't for a few days yeah I expected something a little more may replied after seeing the zulic techniques these just felt a little underwhelming narut was going to reply but stopped when he sensed someone up ahead he was proven right when a man turned the corner and began walking in their Direction unlike the three men they'd first met this one was on a completely different level everything from the way he carried himself to the oron Naruto could see from him was different this man was experienced and relatively powerful his looks threw the pair off slightly though he was a red-headed man with his hair slicked back and upwards had pale skin and A Tear and star painted on his cheeks his black shirt had two symbols they recognized as card suits and wore simple black pants he looked like some sort of clown but definitely didn't carry himself like one the Man's eyes locked onto Naruto's once he noticed them good afternoon he greeted hello hey May and Naruto responded politely the man smiled seemingly pleased that they didn't seem scared of him like others tended to be I watched your matches today congratulations on your victories even though they aren't the strongest to see them beaten soundly while not displaying any sort of ability was fascinating narut nodded in thanks but still kept his guard up thanks if you don't mind me asking who are you the red-haired Man's eyes lit up Hoka a pleasure he said giving them a small bow I don't recognize you are you new perhaps May answered this time yes we've only just made it to the 200th floor technically not a lie I see here responded well I hope to see more of your battles perhaps I might figure out what kind of hatsu you two possess now if you'll excuse me I have to register he said walking past them narut and may watched the man leave and turn another Corner though not before looking back and smiling at them he's May trailed off one to look out for he had much more Aura than anyone we've met minus Silva and Zeno narut finished are you curious May asked as they continued walking a little bit we should watch his fight and see what he's about the two made their way back to their room to celebrate their victories unaware that Hoka had taken just as much an interest in them as they had in him the pair made it back to their room and immediately upon entering May took her shoes off and let herself fall into the softness of their madess that feels nice she said softly narut snorted in Amusement I know you're not tired you hardly broke a sweat he commented she turned to look at him and propped herself onto her side resting her elbow in the bed and her head on her Palm no I do want to get on with the celebration though she said with a seductive look as she patted a space on the bed next to her you don't want to shower first Naruto asked we just going to get dirty again now hurry up she told him a little forcefully truth be told he enjoyed the moments when she was frustrated and wanted him to hurry not needing to be told again he took off his shirt very much aware of her eyes taking in his form he laid down next to her and in an instant May was on him she moved quickly forcing him on his back while she lay on top of him and pressed her lips on his the sound of their lips smacking together echoed through the room the blonde grabbed her by the waist slowly rubbing his hand up and down her side before they made their way down to her perfect ass she moaned softly into his mouth as he kneaded her cheeks slowly and kissed back just as he was going to get his tongue in on the action May broke away panting slightly as she caught her breath their lips were connected by a small trail of saliva which may used her tongue to get rid of May stared down at him her eyes clearly clouded over as her lust was slowly taking over as the main emotion in her she grabbed his hands from her ass and moved them to her front slowly going higher until his hands were on her breasts under her shirt but over her bra May closed her eyes and bit her lip while slowly grinding herself on him very much enjoying his rough hands fondling her narut tried to reach his hands under the bra but was stopped May shook her head no playfully and whispered not yet his hands stayed in place even when she leaned down and planted a kiss on his lips once more once then twice and a third time she did this before moving to plant one on his cheek this continued for a few seconds as she kissed her way down his face until she reached his neck the kunoichi kissed his neck with some Force managing to leave an imprint of her lips from the lipstick she'd been wearing she then moved to the other side of his neck and licked the areas sensually and sucked on the skin just hard enough to leave a nice Mark she did that a lot even when they were still back home though before she'd leave them on places like his chest and collar bone places one wouldn't normally see narut was sure a and chojo knew of their relationship and he knew that may probably suspected that Kakashi knew but still made sure to keep it in private areas now though they were just a man and woman in a completely new world and she didn't have to worry about anyone seeing it narut shuddered in pleasure when she licked over the new bruise and moved aside slightly to do it again that looks good on you she whispered in his ear after letting go of him she sat back and raked her blue nails down his chest the blond's eyes followed her as she reached over a small distance and grabbed a small remote that was placed on the bedside side drawer she clicked the large button in the center and the blinds began to close seeing as they were on the 200th floor they didn't really need to worry about anyone seeing but it didn't matter once the blinds were closed the woman stood up but not before tugging at his pants and muttering take them off his pants were off in record time along with his boxers he laid there naked as the day he was born but he didn't mind he was too distracted by the sight of the woman standing above him as many times as he'd seen her undress the site just never got any less amazing this time however it seemed to be that much better her hands trailed down her own body slowly the smirk on her face as she looked at him told him she knew what she was doing to him and was enjoying it with a simple movement of her fingers the button was undone and she began to pull them down once they made it down an inch or so she pulled them back up he blinked in confusion at this and looked up at her to see her wink at him May turned around hips swaying in a hypnotizing dance as she did so once again she began pulling her pants down this time though she didn't stop like her bra she wore matching red panties with very intricate designs on them she kicked the pants off of her leg and looked back at him with half lited eyes I hope you don't mind if I stretch first she said Nar wasn't given a chance to respond and he found that he wouldn't be able to anyway they were lucky the bed was large as May spread her legs wide and slowly bent down her arms touched the bed and gently glided forward forward on the bed sheets until her back was in an impressive Arch from Naruto's position he was able to see her breasts hang down before being squished on the bed looking up he was greeted to the sight of her barely covered Womanhood just a foot or so away from him the blonde was rock hard by this point wanting nothing more than to stand up and fill her up as he'd been doing for the past few years he tried to stand and at least get a taste but was once again stopped by her not yet love she teased he was tempted to ignore her but he sided against it and laid back down his woman stood back up straight and turned around giving him a good look at her lingerie covered self he didn't know what it was but she somehow looked better now than he'd ever seen her almost done she said as she spoke she used one foot to spread his legs slightly wider apart to his Delight she did the same stretch only this time she was facing him his eyes moved down as she did so and he was mesmerized by the amazing shape of her ass that was raised behind her though that was soon removed from his mind when her face approached his member she smiled at him and without so much as saying another word began licking up his shaft Naruto laid his head back slightly when she finally reached the top and took him completely in her mouth may always had great technique with her tongue managing to seemingly lick every inch of him even as her head bobbed up and down on him sitting up and resting himself on one elbow he grabbed the hair tie keeping her top knot up and pulled in one motion her hair was completely down and he was was able to maneuver it to one side of her with the knot out of the way he was able to guide her head for the next 20 minutes as she blew him at some point she'd let herself lay down flat no doubt the sexy postion had finally taken its toll he soon found himself feeling the buildup occurring and moved her head faster May knew he was close and moved his hand away from her head she sat up slightly and used both hands to pump him as she slobbered on him her head moving up and down faster than she'd ever done her technique was Flawless as shortly after she did this he couldn't hold it anymore May's mouth stayed attached to his as rope after rope of his seed shot out the woman bobbed her head two more times and made sure to suck hard as she came up making sure not to let a drop spill May looked directly at him and made a show of swallowing the mouthful she'd taken she smiled and used a finger to get a little that was on the edge of her mouth and licked that up as well that was hot Naruto commented that little show she put on managed to get him right back up again I'm glad you think so she said turning around and getting on all fours now hurry up I'm soaking wet and need you right now she pleaded narut got up onto his knees and made his way over to her he ran two fingers over her slid much to her delight and smiled when he saw how wet his fingers were he split her lips gently and slowly pushed his way in relishing the warmth that spread over his meat as he got deeper in her once he was all the way in he let her take a second to prepare herself for what what was coming he pulled out until only the tip remained and slammed himself back in repeatedly the two found a steady Rhythm and for the next 20 or so minutes Nar let her enjoy herself after she came once he put her hair into a ponytail and gripped it tightly with his right hand you ready may he asked pulling her hair back which made her raise her head he leaned forward until he was right next to her ear and repeated I said are you ready she turned to look at him with her lust filled eyes and nodded at him Happ narut smirked and gave one of her cheeks a hard smack which elicited an excited Yelp from her May couldn't help but moan into the mattress as she was stretched out and filled once again the feeling of her blonde lover pounding into her relentlessly was addicting Naruto slowed his Pace until he came to a stop and to her displeasure pulled himself out of her why do you stop May asked out of breath she wasn't given an answer instead Naruto flipped her onto her back and leaned over her until he was above of her with Precision he' gained over the past few years he reinserted himself into her while staring her in the eyes and began to her once more May's eyes became half lited as the pleasure from the attack on her Womanhood increased knowing she was completely lost in her Lust by now Naruto used one hand to put his thumb on her bottom lip almost instinctively May opened her mouth and began swirling her tongue on the appendage Naruto smirked and after a few minutes moved back and gripped her by the waist to increase the speed at which he was thrusting May reached back and gripped the bed sheets above her head while looking away trying her hardest to cover her mouth on the mattress the blonde looked down at the erotic sight and couldn't help but think how lucky he was he was sure every male who' laid eyes on May had dreamed of her at least once now here he was watching her tits bounce up and down with each thrust and moan his name over and over again oh Naruto I'm coming she yelped narut felt her tighten up around him but he continued his menstration as he could feel his first orgasm quickly approaching May reached up and wrapped her arms around his upper body bringing him back down towards her once more her hands were placed on his back and immediately he could feel her nails begin to dig into his back the sudden movement of her nails scratching him was the final straw and the dam burst once again he pushed in as far as she could take him and let himself go the woman's leg was also wrapped around his body applying pressure to his lower half as if trying to get him in deeper just like with her mouth her Womanhood was taking in every last bit of his seed as it could Naruto was honestly surprised the woman wasn't pregnant by now with how many times he'd filled her up once he felt himself give her the last of his cumb he leaned down to return the favor she'd done for him his mouth latched onto her neck and he gently suckled on it until a Mark was clearly visible that dot was great May said with a large smile on her face the blonde moved slightly to look at her and with an amused look responded you don't think we're done to you you don't feel that to get his point across he pumped once and he knew may could feel his still erect penis ready to go May's eyes whitened slightly she was spent but he was still ready to go wait dot why don't we take a little BR do eek she grunted as he pulled out and pushed back into her her already abused Womanhood was extra sensitive and the feeling of him going in again drove her over the edge once more the blonde grabbed one of her legs and threw it over his shoulder knowing she was in for another hour or so of rigor pounding May reached over and grabbed a pillow to try and muffle her screams the new position allowed him better leverage and took him just a tad bit deeper than he'd been just like that Naruto May's muffled moans sounded through the pillow who does this belong to he teased intentionally slowing down his Strokes he heard her say something but it was distorted I'm sorry what he asked again he could feel her tightening up again and knew this would be the last one she had before she was thoroughly spent May once again said something this time a little louder he knew what she said but he wanted her to say it clearly it was the one thing he loved hearing her say to him while they seems like we'll finish early he said May pushed herself back onto him and threw the pillow aside she turned to look at him with a the desperate look in her eyes he looked down and smiled at the embarrassed look on the woman's face no need to be embarrassed about squirting love he replied and kept going soon he too felt himself needing to bust and just before he did so he pulled himself out and moved aside he quickly made his way over to her face and her mouth easily latched onto him even though she was tired she still managed to swallow every last bit I know you can still keep going she commented softly May looked up at him and seeing he was staring back continued the amount of stamina you have is insane and I can't keep up Nar rubbed her back slowly you're amazing just because I can still keep going doesn't mean you have to apologize she shook her head I just feel like you give more than you receive I've told you before if you want to find someone else to mess around with that's fine with me so long as you remember that I'm the most important woman in your life she said before planting a kiss on his bare chest think about it with that she shut her eyes and in the span of a few minutes let sleep take her Nar stayed up contemplating her words he' never thought of anyone else that could come close to may but if she was insisting on it he'd keep an open mind those were his last thoughts before sleep also consumed him Naruto shook his head as he and may made their way out of the Arena a month had passed and their time to fight had once again arrived and just like last time they were disappointed narut had fought sadas Al while May ended up facing off against gido similar to the last battles they'd fought neither had resorted to using anything other than the basic principles of nen and took no damage during the battle Naruto had ended up breaking sedo's only good arm while may had knocked gido out cold with an enhanced kick to his Temple I've been disappointed so far apart from the nice room and the money it's really not that exciting I can only imagine how much faster we'd finish if we used chakra May commented wrapping her arm around his as they made their way into the Hall narut nodded me too I can feel others though people more powerful than those three idiots we just haven't seen them yet except for hissoka May added we haven't been here for the past two weeks maybe we missed them narut opened his mouth to respond but he was beaten by a high-pitched voice that came from behind them you guys know Hoka the two turned around to see a young boy with black hair with green tips just like Naruto wore an orange jumpsuit in his youth this young man wore a green jacket with small green shorts and matching boots he had a cheery disposition despite having one of his arms in a sling he looked at them with a bright smile that contrasted the young man next to him Naruto's first thought was that he looked familiar he had white hair and wore a blue turtleneck shirt underneath a short sleeved white shirt with a pair of shorts and white shoes to finish the look unlike the green-haired boy he looked almost bored but they noticed he had his guard up while around them whereas the other one didn't I wouldn't say we know him we just bumped into him a while ago also I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this is mayumi he introduced nice to meet you I'm gone freaks the green-haired boy introduced he then pointed at his friend and this is Kua zic Naruto's eyebrows raised slightly I knew you looked familiar so you're Silva's other son huh he mentioned you once or twice while we were there my family LED you inside kuua asked slightly shocked by the Revelation the blonde nodded yeah we had business with zigg and ended up staying for a few days before coming back to Heaven's Arena your family is nice Kalua frowned at the words his family nice they put him through the ringer on a daily basis and would tie him up and shock him maybe they weren't told that part he thought did you guys have to fight the butlers Don asked curiously after all their trip to the zulic estate hadn't been the easiest Nar realized they probably didn't go through the testing Gates and either hop the wall or through some other method the family either didn't allow entrance or did under the condition that they made it through their security either way they were here now in one piece so everything must have gone all right have you guys had any matches here yet gone followed up the blonde nodded his head yes yeah we both just got our second win a few seconds ago actually what about you guys gan's smile faded albe it barely I lost too yesterday but I'll beat him next time he replied with full confidence Kalua also seemed to share the sentiment as he nodded his head at his friend's words well we have to get going now also be careful around hissoka if he takes an interest in you I can't guarantee you live that much longer he warned May smiled in amusement at the young boy an action that to her mirth caused the young boy's cheeks to Ren a little forcing him to turn his head thank you for your concern kala we'll be careful around him yeah whatever he muttered not wanting to look at her before they could leave narut asked one more question by any chance do you guys know when Ahsoka is said to fight he's supposed to fight someone named Castro in a week or so that was the last thing he said before he and gone walked past them most likely making their way back to their respective rooms Naruto kept his eyes on the two young boys and activated guo to see that both of them had 10 activated their Aura kept tightly around their body flowing naturally without much trouble they have potential for being so young they seem to have a solid grasp of 10 I wouldn't doubt it if they can use zetsu and ren just as effortlessly May added well since Gan lost too it must mean that he only just learned how to use nen Nar deduced kuua perhaps might have known something considering his family but I can't be sure I can almost guarantee they haven't developed a hatsu though just like you may teased just like us he corrected May didn't respond and instead smiled teasingly at him as they continued walking down the hallway he had a feeling she had either already developed it without him knowing or had an idea of what she wanted to create regardless that train of thought was soon replaced when he saw the registration window on their left hand side it was where everyone who wanted to fight had to stop before they did so which meant you're curious about ahsoka's fight right May said as if reading his mind yep he's the strongest person we've come across I'm curious to see what kind of ability he has maybe it could give me an idea of my own he replied unless you have something in mind that could Inspire mine he trailed off she winked at him not yet I'm going to see it sooner or later he grumbled to himself childishly to which she rolled her eyes quit your pouting and let's check the schedule I want to try that Spa we saw in the next city over she told him they asked the young lady behind the window when Ahsoka was said to fight and were given their answer kuua had been right he was set to fight in exactly one week against Castro the man had nine wins and this one was the one to determine if he'd be able to face a floor Master he made a quick note of that on his phone and thanked the young woman for the information with with that out of the way the two made their way out of the large building and began making their way to the next city the two shobi returned after one week having gone to that Spa May wanted and to explore other parts of the continent they were on the place was huge and with so many different spots to see it took up almost all of their time plus now that may had gotten the hang of using the phone she had a tendency to take pictures of them everywhere they went not that he minded but he found it amusing that she needed a few from every single place they visited they' made it back just in time to see the much anticipated battle between Hoka and Castro look he followed May's finger to see her pointed at galua who was sitting by himself with two open seats next to him the two made their way over and sat down he didn't seem to mind giving them a quick hey before turning his attention back to the arena ladies and gentlemen the rematch between Hoka and Castro will now begin the announcer called out Naruto and luua both sat up a bit straighter eager to see how this would unfold May frowned and covered her mouth for a second before exhaling you okay Nar asked yeah just a nasty burp she commented Nar stared at her for a second before turning his attention back down below once the match had begun the couple instantly activated guo to see that both combatants were already using 10 Castro wasted no time in rushing forward and swiping at the clown looking man Hoka easily dodged the attack but ended up taking a punch to the face which knocked him down the crowd sheered as the white-haired man stood tall that's similar to your Sage Mode attacks isn't it may asked not exactly I have an idea what he's doing but I can't be too sure yet he responded they watched as Castro went for a series of punches most of which were evaded but in one exchange both were able to see it narut was certain the red-haired man had also seen what was going on Castro went for a high kick to the head which was blocked but landed another from behind the man most people must have attributed it to speed but now they knew he's got a clone Naruto said catching kilu is attention he punches and just after the initial attack he creates a clone using nen which adds the second attack Castro is about to use the tiger bite fist a man next to them yelled out Castro's Aura was pouring out violently as he prepared his attack and declared he'd be taking the man's arm everyone was surprised when Ahsoka extended his arm and told him to take it he's too calm he's either going to retaliate just before or he has some sort of plan to deal with the Clone Naruto thought to everyone's shock including theirs Hoka made no effort to move and didn't Flinch when Castro decided to take the other arm instead nut's eyes followed the arm as it flew into the air and back to the pale man who caught it without looking the least bit worried soon it was revealed that Castro was in fact using a cloning nen ability as another one of him formed right next to him it was similar to his shadow clones except it seemed to be a copy of him that simply mirrored his movement and speech instead of having its own free will the two spoke at the same time and said the same thing with no errors Naruto's eyes noticed the man covering his arm with a cloth that was covered in pink Aura Castro must have been too focused on keeping his clone up as he didn't seem to notice the arm being pulled up to the ceiling of the arena or the nens that attached itself to the cards he's smart narut thought seeing exactly what made Ahsoka different from the others he's using the cards as a distraction making sure to keep Castro off his game what's he planning keeping his arm up there Naruto wondered he's a master of manipulation and deception May commented softly after isoka performed his magic trick and pulled a card out of the stump that was his right arm the trick had its intended effect as it upset the white-haired man and forced him to take his stance there Naruto thought hisoka's severed arm returned to him by the aura attached to the stump while Castro took his left arm he kept it out of sight while he attacked to make it look like he never lost it if Castro doesn't calm down he'll die soon you have the talent to be a strong opponent that's why I spared your life everyone heard Hoka say Castro and his double were on him but it was no use Hoka had figured out the trick and was easily avoiding all the attacks I'm impressed May said neither of them had missed how hok's arm had been connected with Castro's cheek soon after the card was tossed and mid strike it was commanded to contract to the crowd it made it seem like his amputated arm moved of its own accord I hit you on the chin so you'll have difficulty moving for a while by this point Hoka had connected the aura from the cards to different parts of the white-haired man's body after telling him that he'd die in a frenzy dance he forced the cards to move and impaling him in his chest and legs which brought the man down using nen to replicate and manipulate is extremely difficult by the time you learn to use a double you forgot how to use nen for anything else Hoka said before being declared the winner and collecting his amputated arm the crowd cheered at the amazing fight and they couldn't help but clap along now I see why you were so interested in coming here the man isn't just powerful he's smart and can use his nen efficiently May commented as she stood up narut followed her after a quick goodbye to kuua Nar put his hands behind his head as he walked down the Halls is it strange that I actually want to fight him May shook her head we're new here learned a new power system and encountered someone who can use it very well add to the fact that the only fights we've had have been against some crippled men I'd say no you wish to fight Naruto the pair looked behind them to see a slightly bruised hissoka walking in their Direction he had his severed arm tucked under his other arm as if it were a book narut smiled good-naturedly I do I'm not sure how though since you've gotten both of your arms amputated Hoka used his good arm to hold up the other you mean this one he asked in a sarcastic voice to hisoka's Delight both of them shook their heads not just the blonde I know it's being held on by your aura May continued you're a transmuter you changed the properties of your aura to that of something akin to and that's what kept it in place your actually lucky Castro never used guo or he'd have seen through it Hoka nodded seemingly impressed with their assessment how right you are had he kept a level head maybe he'd have realized it however back to your request he said looking back at the blonde let me get back to you in a few days I might have another fight lined up already he replied thinking about gone let me know we might be leaving Heaven's Arena soon also Naruto trailed off pointing to a pink-haired young woman leaning against the hallway walls she had what looked to be a gray kunoichi outfit and was staring straight at hissoka ah she's arrived I'll be sure to let you know of my availability the two of you are powerful I'd love to see what you're capable of with that the man turned and nodded at the woman to follow him the young woman stared at them momentarily no doubt also trying to get a read on them and her eyes widened after a split second she looked away and put her calm facade back on and followed his ahoka into his room Hoka gave them one last wave and shut the door leaving the two on their own Naruto wondered what the pink-haired woman felt from them maybe she sensed Kurama Naruto thought to himself as he let himself be led off by the auburn-haired woman he really hoped he'd get the chance to battle it out with Ahsoka that would be a good test of his nen abilities it's strange to see you acting friendly with people not in the troop Maki commented as she held up one of hisoka's severed arms the magician smiled at her and Shrugged what can I say the two of them interest me narut seems eager to fight me that itself is enough for me to give them my attention most tend to stay away May doesn't seem as strong as him but from what I saw from her battle she's very capable Maki narrowed her eyes slightly at the man that's not all is it she questioned seeing Hoka raise an eyebrow at her in Amusement she huffed and continued you're not stupid I know you could feel it a you mean the Sinister feeling that seems to emanate from him he asked rhetorically yes that does have something to do with it Maki stopped her inquiries for a moment opting to focus on using her nen stitches to reattach every part of the Jester's limb it only took a few seconds before his arm was reattached leaving only a small scar to show it was ever removed I figured hold the other one by yourself she ordered while Hoka held up his other arm Maki began to work the pink-haired woman ignored the look of Fascination the magician was sending her way too lost in her own thoughts she inadvertently shuddered when he remembered the feeling of dread that crawled up her spine when she felt the blonde man's Aura there was something off about it it wasn't like regular nen users Hoka those two from earlier did their Aura feel strange to you I'm not talking about the Sinister feeling either she asked as casually as she could yes the best way to describe it would be dense he replied she agreed with his assessment and felt glad she wasn't the only one who found it weird perhaps it was a result of their hatsu you seem troubled by it Hoka pointed out it's simply strange that's all we're done here she shot back while taking a step back and picking up her bag also the boss said we to meet in York new on August 31st Saint everyone is to be there not only those who want to she relayed is the boss himself going to be there Hoka asked curiously maky nodded and quickly told him how much he owed her for each arm she did and he was quick to agree and even asked her if she'd like to join him for dinner an offer she didn't dignify with a response as she walked out of the room taking a look down the hall in the direction the two were last seen she shook her head and made her way out of the building something about them set her on edge not even juvo when he's pissed and flaring his Aura made her feel the way she did before Maki gave one last glance to the large Tower and the faces of Naruto and may flashed in her mind she would need to look into them she hung around some of the most dangerous people suff for these two to have her like this they were worth investigating the next two months at Heaven's Arena passed quickly and July was upon them Naruto and may continued to practice their use of nen a few miles out where Naruto had found a mostly remote part of land while they definitely could have done some normal training in their room a conversation on the phone with Zeno told them it wasn't the best idea they had massive ounts of Aura dwarfing even the highest level Hunters they'd been told letting loose to practice would draw unwanted attention so it was recommended they find another spot Nar and may focused on maintaining the ren for a few hours and while it wasn't too difficult for narut who found he could hold it for well over 6 hours without breaking a sweat May was another story for the past few days he noticed her look a little pale and clammy but she assured him it was nothing and continued training managing to maintain Ren for a solid 3 hours before feeling fatigued Hoka true to his word did in fact end up having another match shortly after his decimation of Castro to both the Shinobi's surprise his opponent happened to be against gone that match was scheduled for today and it was something neither of the two adults wanted to miss it was for that reason that they once again sat next to Kua who seemed more serious than when he last Saw Hoka fight the moment the two fighters met in the ring both Naruto and may knew this was a mismatch hisoka's build was larger than gone his Aura was on another level compared to the 12-year-old and to top it off he had a proficient Mastery of nen he'd already developed a versatile hatsu while gone seemingly only just learned the basics of it granted they did as well but they had chakra to make up for the inexperience they had with nen they had more options available to them if they were cornered Gan didn't still Naro silently rooted for gone the boy didn't back down and was adamant on Landing a few blows on the man most of the fight wasn't shocking at least to them since it went as expected Hoka dominated the entire fight using his Keen intellect and experience to force gone into a tough situation after getting a few critical hits in the main surprise of the match was the young man using one of the tiles of the Arena to cloak himself and managed to land a solid hit on the Jester's face that had the crowd going crazy believing that maybe Gan would have a chance If Only They and Gan had used guo they would have seen that Hoka had already applied his nen technique to connect a pink string to the boy's cheek while he gave a personality analysis to determine what category gone fell into everything went downhill for the young man after that as Ahsoka turned up the heat and proceeded to end the match quickly the final attack that sealed the deal was him detaching the pink rope from his finger and attaching it to a piece of rubble and forcing it to contract colliding dead on with his cheek that's got to hurt Naruto commented shortly after the kid did okay but his has much more battle experience and it showed May nodded He's got potential though he was quick to think up a strategy when he saw his straight on attacks weren't working and hid himself well in the rubble he destroyed to catch him off guard it was a good move the kid kind of reminds me of myself when I was younger Naruto added he wasn't planning ahead and just thought up a strategy on the spot just like I did he finished with a smile seeing the similarities between the two the blonde stood up taking May by the hand and turned back to look at the 12-year-old zulic kuua are you going to battle today too if so we'll stick around to watch yours as well Kalua shook his head and stood up doing a small stretch as he did so no I'm not interested in fighting anyone else we're probably leaving now that Gan fought Hoka and did what he set out too oh you guys are leaving where are you guys headed now he asked curiously Kalua Shrugged not sure yet he answered nonchalantly we have some time to kill before we have to meet up with our friends in York New City so I'll see what gone has planned that bit of information caught the two Dark Continent natives attention they' been wanting to check out other places since they'd only been to two parts of the world so far York new where is that Naro asked two continents south of here in yoria to the Far West kuua replied automatically Naruto made a mental note to check that out on a map or the computer later today he had been looking at potential places to visit and had been eyeing a certain place but it wouldn't hurt to see what attractions were there and perhaps bump it up on the list Kalua didn't say much else about his plans and stood up placing his hands behind his head and preparing to walk away well I'll see you guys around later he said bidding them goodbye bye kuua take care of yourself and look out for your friend May said shooting him a gentle smile the two adults chuckled to themselves as the boy's cheeks began turning red and he turned away to try and hide it the boy said nothing else and turned away eager to get himself out of the situation he found himself in he wasn't sure why but every time she smiled at him his cheeks heated up why do you do that to the poor kid Naruto asked Amusement clear on his face May smiled and leaned into him a tad bit as they two made their way out of The Spectator area I find it adorable seeing him get flustered and then try to hide it the couple made their way through the crowd careful not to bump into anyone along the way most people were still complaining about the referee being too biased towards Hoka but the two Shinobi knew better the referee was helping gone more than anyone by ending the match as soon as possible he saved him from any further damage that may have been life threatening May pushed open the door to their room and made haste Towards the bed and was quick to remove her shoes and lay down ah she said stretching lightly so what's the plan now she asked as she maneuvered herself to lay on her side and hold her head up with her hand narut sat down at the edge of the bed next to her and humed to himself for a moment hopefully I can get a battle with Hoka he did say he'd let me know the battle with gone was the fight he said he might have so he should have an answer by now most normal people would like to keep their distance from the jester but not him he'd be the perfect opponent to test his abilities with Nan like gone they'd only had it for a short period of time but he had battle experience he was confident that the types of battles he'd fought back home were Tougher Than Anything hissoka could have gone through here what if he says no May asked curiously if she was honest she was all but done with Heaven's Arena it had done its job in making them a bit of money and giving them some basic experience against other n users in an actual battle there were two reasons she hadn't said anything and that was because Naruto was seemingly really excited at the prospect of fighting the mysterious man and for another reason that she still needed to confirm if he says no Then we leave we have enough money to get a nice hotel wherever we go I think as it stands Hoka is the only person I'm interested in fighting here if he says no we're out of here he answered and paused for a moment to look at her unless you want to stay a little longer no she she replied before he even uttered the last word a small tint of red appeared on her cheeks at his look of amusement from her Outburst she cleared her throat I'm fine with leaving I was pretty much done with this place after fighting those idiots that tried to get one over on us Naruto nodded in agreement and stood up well I'm going to go look for him and see what the verdict is you want to tag along and maybe stop by somewhere for dinner I saw a nice restaurant at the top of that really tall building a few streets down he offered May looked slightly nervous the sick feeling she'd had for the past few days was beginning to creep up on her again all pass she responded letting her body lay flat on the bed just call me when you're done and we'll go got it the blonde replied quickly giving her a peck on the lips he got up and made his way out the door now all alone in the room the 31-year-old woman waited until she could sense that he was reaching the ground floor of the Arena once she was sure he'd vacated the building she stood up and reached into one of the few purses she' bought while they were exploring she pulled out a small box that she'd picked up at a pharmacy store earlier while Naruto was buying a drink and made her way to the bathroom following the directions on the box she sat inside motionless for a couple minutes until a small noise caught her attention a small change in the object in her hand had her eyes widen in slight shock but most of all immense happiness since she was younger she'd always had two main goals in life apart from stopping the war in kir and being a good cage to her people Mary a handsome man that loved her unconditionally and start a family of her own it wasn't in that order exactly but one of them was coming true now she needed to see how Naro would take the news she was confident he loved her he wouldn't have been with her all these years and even invite her on this journey if he didn't but she was still slightly nervous about how he'd take the news she took the object with her back to the main room being mindful enough to wrap it in toilet paper before placing it on the desk going back to bed she tried to distract herself with some TV but the anxiety she felt wouldn't let her Focus she needed Naro to return quickly XX while May was taking in the life-changing news Naruto was on his way down towards the entrance of Heaven's Arena a quick use ofen told him the man was walking down the street and he needed to catch up to him fast speeding up a little he moved through the horde of people walking the streets until he was walking side by side with the man yo Naro greeted hissoka turned his head towards him and if he hadn't seen creepier Smiles on orochimaru's face before the smile The Pale Man sent his way would have sent shivers down his spine that was an impressive use of an he complimented the feeling I got from your aura was almost Sinister he added with what seemed to be Delight so karama's presence is also felt through my own life Force strange the zulic didn't mention anything about that he thought to himself briefly perhaps they figured it was simply a characteristic of his chakra and wrote it off right Naruto trailed off anyway about our battle I still haven't gotten an answer hisoka's smile faded and his facial expression turned to one of disappointment unfortunately it will have to wait he answered I have important business to take care of in York New City and need to prepare for that there's that City again Naruto thought to himself recalling how Kua said he and gong would be heading there in a while you're the second person to mention that they're going to York New City soon what's going on out there he asked Hoka stared at him blankly for a moment as they walked down the street before speaking up the underground and Southern peace auctions are taking place September 1st some of the richest people in the world will be selling and bidding on rare items either for their own personal collection for a client he informed him that sounds interesting Nar thought to himself it could be a chance for them to see some cool things and experience a new part of the world like they wanted to perhaps you're interested in going I'll be there for a while maybe we can get a battle and if you find yourself out there he suggested narut rubbed his chin in thought when it hit him I have something that might fetch a decent price he said out loud referring to some of the kai and other chakra conductive weapons he had in his seals as long as you have something of value or Rarity I'm sure they'll let you enter it into the auction also I have a question if you don't mind hissoka asked narut nodded at him to continue you and the woman you travel with have more raw ordera than I've ever felt from a person including the chairman of the hunter Association plus there's something else beneath it he analyzed and Naro noticed the man's hands open and close as if he was trying to control himself not only that but everyone knows of the auctions in York new so for you to not know tells me that you're not from around here clever narut thought a smirk appearing on his face I can't just tell him I'm from the Dark Continent what to do what to do he thought we're from a place far away from here his answer seemed to amuse The Pale Man as he let out a soft but somewhat Sinister chuckle I see well it was nice chatting but I'm afraid this is where we part ways it was a pleasure to meet the two of you and I hope we meet in York new very soon he said before disappearing into a dark alley he knows something else about this York new place Kurama said from his mindscape he's excited and his excitement grew when you showed interest in going in your vague answer about where you're from yeah I figured that out on my own I won't lie and say I'm not interested in this auction though I want to see what kind of things people in this land find valuable he replied silently before turning around to head back to his room when he made it back he found May lying down in the same place he'd last seen her he noticed she looked relaxed but there was a look on her face that she seemed to be trying to hide you look happy May commented you schedule that fight narut shook his head you do too and to answer your question the fight isn't happening so who gives their news first she exhaled and stood up until she was only inches away from him he was slightly taller than her so she was looking upwards at him May took his hands in hers and resolved herself we've been seeing each other for a while now and it's been a very pleasurable experience she added coily narut got a goofy smile on his face as he reminisced about all the good times they had together both in and out of the bedroom the woman laughed for a moment trying to hide the nervousness she really felt that of course was something the blonde easily picked up on May looking at him dead in the eyes she moved his hands until they were placed on her abdomen this little Adventure where on isn't just going to be the two of us anymore she said Naruto looked at where his hands were placed then back to her and to his hands again until everything suddenly clicked in his mind May was pregnant the woman was carrying his child at this very moment in a Flash she was in his arms her legs inches above the ground spinning around as the blonde yelled out in excitement Naruto's excited yells could be heard from down the hall and didn't stop for a Solid 5 minutes finally he put her back down and sat her down at the edge of the bed not letting go of her hands may this is great he exclaimed why do you look upset I know how much you wanted to see the world and explore now you have to worry about taking care of me and our child she said in a sad tone he cued her face and made her look up at him this won't slow us down if anything this just makes it better I'm an orphan May I've always wanted a family of my own and you're giving me that perhaps towards the end of your pregnancy we'll have to slow down a little bit but we're okay for now we'll just be a tad more careful that's all besides he said using his thumb to wipe a stray tear that had begun to fall from her eyes at his Proclamation when he's ready our son can join us may smiled and used her own hand to wipe a few more off her face not caring that she was ruining the makeup she had spent an hour on to perfect how do you know it's going to be a boy I can feel it he responded mid her head on his chest and listened to the steady beating of his heart now that she'd broken the news to him she felt lighter more so since he took it well and was just as excited as she was when she found out well you know my news what's yours she asked not removing her head from its resting place he rested his head on top of hers and shook it lightly nothing as extravagant as yours but I got our next destination picked out oh where are we going she asked York New City May released herself from their Embrace and raised an eyebrow that place kuua said he and gone were heading to in a while what for narut went on to tell her about the underground and Southern peace auctions being held in September and everything Hoka had told him during their chat May agreed that it did sound interesting and like him she was curious to see what the richest people in this land were willing to blow their money on who knows maybe they'd be able to pick something up themselves that they could take back when the time came sounds interesting plus if it's a place for the higher class it'll give me an excuse to dress up I should probably barely be starting to show by then so it'll still look good she commented you'd look good even if you were 9 months in he shot back quickly May rolled her eyes at his words but still felt flattered and had him continue the last few nights I had been looking for places to go and had chosen the kaken kingdom as our next stop but we'll push it back until after the auction he explained May closed her eyes and hummed pulling up an image of the world map in her mind that's East from here across the sea I believe he nodded in confirmation and stood up unsealing a few items and placing them on the bed in front of her the blonde laid out a collection of Kai a few different swords metal thread and and some hundred or so paper bombs Hoka didn't mention if awar one can just buy a ticket so I think our easiest bet is to have something up for auction do you think any of these would be good he asked May looked over the selection and inwardly thought no she made her way off the bed and over to the computer and began typing away for a moment or two Naruto followed and rested his head on her shoulder silently reading what she was typing I'm sure there's a record of things that have been sold in the past asked so we'll compare these to whatever has generated the most money she said clicking on a few different links until she found a list showing the most expensive pieces the list included everything from body parts which creeped the two out ancient relics One of a Kind jewelry art from deceased painters and even a mummy was sold who would buy that they didn't know they clearly had enough money to throw around though I don't think the weapons will cut it Naro side they can't compete with body parts or a whole mummy as he finished speaking a thought entered his mind wait May looked up at him with a questioning look we still have a lot of nitro rice he reminded her she nodded I've been thinking about that actually how much do we have left she asked Naruto unsealed the entire amount of nitro rice they had after trading some to the zulic family and placed it on the desk next to the computer we have about 27 lb give or take remaining May picked a small bundle up and brought it up to eye level taking in the appearance with a critical look now that they had time and the hell bell wasn't attacking this rice is said to have the properties to extend one's life why don't we eat some of it we can auction a small bundle less than half a pound and still have enough left for whatever we may need this could be a good bargaining ship with powerful people if we need it like with zigg she proposed that made sense narut thought I suppose we could make a dish shout of it tonight instead of going to that restaurant we'll make fried rice with it he said releasing the rice May noded happily sounds good if it really does increase our lifespan we'll have more time to see the rest of the world if we haven't already we can watch our children and grandchildren grow up she added with a fond look on her face as she thought about what the future would look like her hand had subconsciously moved to rub her stomach as she spoke even though she'd only just gotten confirmation that she was carrying she already felt a deeper connection with the still unformed child narut smiled at the sight and nodded before sealing the rice they'd need into a different seal sounds good to me now come on let's go get some of the things we'll need to add to the dish he took her by the hand and exited the room both eager to get a taste of the ingredient many people would kill for Swani City Hunter Association HQ standing in front of a large window taking in the view of the bright lights below was a man known to many as the strongest n user alive he was an older man with a mostly bald head except the small tight ponytail he had that stuck upwards held together by a blue band he had rather large earlobes as well as a large white mustache and a long goatee that came down to a point his clothes were white robes with blue accents along the collared area this man is ISAC Neo chairman of the hunter Association are you still going over what Zig told you neo heard from the doorway a small green bean-like man in a suit closed the door behind him as he entered the room and placed some documents on the desk Neo wasn't the least bit alarmed by the sudden presence of his secretary beans Neo turned away from the window and sat down behind his desk interlacing his hands and resting his arms on the table correct he said answering Bean's question Naruto Uzumaki and mumi it's difficult to believe that two humans from the Dark Continent are here nothing we saw out there hinted at the possibility of human life being possible Bean sat down across from the chairman and replied perhaps you didn't venture out far enough based on what you've recounted it was impossible to proceed so you'd have no way of knowing Neo nodded and stayed quiet for a few moments until finally he spoke again perhaps I should go speak to them myself zigg mentioned that they used some different form of energy in addition to the nen they've been taught he said rubbing goatee the green secretary narrowed his eyes at the man after working for him for as long as he had he knew what Neo was really like he was a man who respected strength Above All Else and looked down on the weak the hunter Association itself was meant to distinguish the weak from the strong in order for him to find a potential opponent now with two natives from the Dark Continent here who supposedly had the most or the Elder zulic had felt it wasn't difficult to figure out what the man was really thinking do you think they'd be willing to hear you out more to the point would either of them be willing to fight once they figure out your intentions beans asked worriedly Neo chuckled and pulled out 200 licenses from one of his drawers and held them up the conversation I had with Zig wasn't a short one he told me as much as he could about the pair it seems they're interested in seeing the world just like the general public they also didn't know about the outside world until they made it here I'm not going for the sole purpose of fighting beans he trailed off ignoring the disbelieving look on the man's face then what's your aim to get on their good side he responded and you believe asking for a fight will do the job beans shot back the aged man shook his head no these will he said waving the licenses in the air I'll politely ask for a spar with either of them and as a show of Goodwill I'll give each Hunter status thus allowing them access to most places they'd like to see beans sat in silence listening to the old man as he spoke and tried to piece things together Neo didn't do most things out of kindness he usually had some selfish motives behind each of his actions he contemplated for a moment until he figured it out you're hoping one of them gives you the battle you've been searching for and even if you don't find it with them your hoping positive relations with them will give you access to where they come from when they inevitably return home Neo smirked at him indicating he'd hit the nail on the head correct again I'll be honest with you beans even if one of them can give me what I'm looking for I do hope I can tag along when they return Zig Lynette and I risked our lives there even if it takes a few more years I'd like to see what we missed out on he said referring to the civilization Naruto and may were from will you be going now beans asked Neo shook his head as much as I'd like to do so I can't at the moment unfortunately it will have to wait for a few months last I heard they were at Heaven's Arena I'd be willing to wager anything when I say York new will be their next destination the auctions Neo nodded I'll find them on the last day of the auctions and speak to them then beans nodded and made to stand up when Neo spoke again beans none of what's been mentioned here leaves the room no one can know about them yet not even the zodiacs much less pariston what about Jane beans asked wondering about one of their more elusive members Neo hummed for a moment thinking things over even Jing although I'm sure he'll find out one way or another beans nodded in agreement and made his way back out of the room leaving the Aged chairman by himself now that beans was gone he stared at the two licenses in his hand and couldn't help but notice the subtle shaking his hands were doing his life's goal was potentially Within Reach and even if it wasn't here there was a chance he would go back and find it among their people Naruto Uzumaki and mumi he repeated in a hushed tone I look forward to our meeting on September 7th the end I hope you enjoyed this episode remember to subscribe and like this video see you in the next video
