This chapter contains material that I do not own, they are the property of one of the following: Akira Toriyama, Yoshihiro Togashi, Rumiko Takahashi, Tite Kubo, Masashi Kishimoto, Eiichiro Oda, and Yuji Naka. Please support these excellent artists.
This is a quick side note, from here on out I'm not going to run the Shadow story any longer. Instead I will be using this as the main story-line and primarily follow Akane; but I do hold liberty to jump to other characters for extended periods of time. (This will be noted with the character's name in bold text). Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed my work so far, this will hopefully streamline things and make the whole story more enjoyable for all.
Naruto
There was only a week left before the attack, everyone was feeling the pressure, and in no one was it better represented than by Kakashi-sensei, right now.
“Naruto, you have to help me here.” His visible eye was teared up and glossy. “Tech borrowed something from me, something extremely important, and he's locked his door and won't give it back. I need it Naruto, badly!”
“A-Alright I'll help!” I said, a little unnerved by his display.
“Thank you Naruto-san!” He gripped my hand in both of his and dragged me down several floors to the front of a large metal door. “Now, use a Tailed Beast Bomb. We'll go in and...”
“Wait, I think a Beast Bomb is a bit much here, wouldn't it cause a cave in?” He hesitated for a moment. “It doesn't look that tough, why don't you just break it down?”
“Its some sort of new metal, any damage I do just seals back up; so we need something big.” I nodded.
“Alright. One Big Ball Rasengan!” I said, summoning up the two clones to stabilize the technique.
“That won't!” It was too late, my arm plunged into the metal as if it wasn't there; and almost immediately the metal began trying to pull back together around my arm.
With a little force I managed to pull myself free. “I think we need a specialist here. Let's go find Thorium, he's probably the one that made this metal.”
“Or you could blow the whole door off with a Beast Bomb.”
“Yeah and probably collapse the whole base, we're not doing that.”
“What's this about collapsing the base?” I turned to the new voice, seeing Goku-san.
“Oh nothing, we're just trying to get something important back from Tech.” I said cautiously.
“Something important huh...” He seemed to contemplate the door, but I got a bad feeling as I saw a thin trail of drool run down his cheek.
“It's alright, we've got it under control, we're going to find Thorium now.” He barely waved at us as we left.
We did find Thorium a few rooms down playing with a small inanimate metal hedgehog.
“Oh hey guys, you here for armor too?” His eyes didn't leave the toy, almost like he was expecting it to move.
“Not really, we need to get into Tech's lab, he's locked himself behind that big metal door.”
“Wait, since when did he have that?” Thorium said, suddenly getting up and walking past us.
“Well that's unnerving.”
