"DOWN!" he shouted, following his own advice and doing so. Tenten did as well, just in time to dodge a savage slash from Miyanaga wielding a ninjatō.
"We have to take them alive, you idiot!" Abare said as he appeared and tried to cut Naruto's arm off with his own weapon, an extra-large kunai that was more of a sword than a kunai.
"Screw that. He killed Shioizumi." Miyanaga said in a monotone, "I'm going to kill him and take his girlfriend as my bitch."
Naruto actually snarled at this. Tenten...got physical.
She lashed out with her staff and separated the staff into three sections linked by thin, but strong chains. She whacked Abare across the head, drew the staff back and grabbed the two outer sections before delivering a punishing barrage of hits with the metal-capped ends on Miyanaga's abdomen.
"Sansetsukon Bōjutsu: Sangeki Rendan! (Three-Section Cane Staff Jutsu: Three-Strikes Barrage!)" The Weapons Mistress growled angrily as she backed away from the wheezing man, "I'm no man's bitch! And Naruto's my friend, not my boyfriend!"
"ANBU!" the third man called, "Scatter!"
With a curse and a pathetic attempt at a murderous glare in their direction, the two 'Missing Ninja' vanished in puffs of smoke seconds before a strong gust of wind blew the dust cloud around them away and four figures in grey armour and animal masks appeared around the two of them.
"Uzumaki-san, Genin Higurashi, are either of you hurt?" the one with a bird mask asked urgently.
"We're both fine, Tori-san." Naruto replied, "The only ones who got hurt were the Nuke-nin."
"Nuke-nin?! Inside Konoha's walls?!" the cat masked ANBU asked sharply, "Saru, go and alert the Chunin patrollers that we have a breach. Ryū and I will take these two too Hokage-sama."
"There's a dead Nuke-nin under one of the Dangan." Naruko said, his face turning a bit green, "I, ah…crushed him."
"First kill jitters." Neko muttered, "C'mon Uzumaki-san. Hokage-sama will want to talk to the both of you. Ryū, take Genin Higurashi. Tori, gather all of Genin Higurashi's weapons and seal up the body of the Nuke-nin for Yamanaka-san to analyse later."
Tori nodded and set to work with Naruto's Shadow Clones as Neko and Ryū vanished with the two kids.
Later
Hokage's Office
Sarutobi Hiruzen fought to keep the scowl off his face as Tenten gave her side of the story.
'Nuke-nin! Inside Konoha!' he thought angrily, 'Targeting Naruto! Whoever let them in will wish they had never been born when I get my hands on them!'
"Very good, Genin Higurashi." He said once the bun-haired girl finished her recitation, "I must commend you for your actions and hereby award you the payment for a solo C-Rank for your efforts against the Nuke-nin. Naruto-kun, is there anything you'd like to add?"
"Ano…I think that they weren't really Nuke-nin." His favourite orphan said with a frown.
"Oh? What makes you say that?" Hiruzen asked thoughtfully.
"They were dressed right, but the way they acted…after the first sensation of KI, they didn't let off any more, as if they weren't trying to kill us." Naruto began listing the discrepancies, "Plus they spoke in complete monotone. No inflections, no accents, no emotions, nothing. They spoke the words, but it was like they were reading the words from a script rather than meaning them. It kinda felt like they were testing us."
The Hokage felt a headache coming on. Emotionless Shinobi? It could only be Danzō who was behind this. Ne and its inhumane training regime create moderately capable combat shinobi, but the infiltration side of things was almost useless. Breaking someone of all emotions and making them see themselves as nothing more than a weapon not unlike a kunai tended to have that kind of effect on their ability to masquerade as a civilian.
"Very good. I will take that information into account, Naruto-kun." He said with a nod, "Now, Genin Higurashi, I have taken the liberty of informing your parents of what has occurred and they should be waiting outside. Neko-san, please take Naruto-kun back to his home while I explain how a Genin was forced to fight four Chunin-level shinobi with only an Academy Student as backup. I'll come by later to talk to you about this in more detail, Naruto-kun."
"Hai, Jiji." Naruto nodded before he was whisked away by Neko.
A Few Minutes Later
Naruto's Apartment
The Uzumaki stumbled as the purple-haired ANBU landed on his roof and shook his head doggedly.
"Side-Along Shunshins suck." He grumbled, "Do you want a cup of tea or something Neko-san?"
"Not on duty, but the thought is appreciated, Uzumaki-san." Neko replied. She paused for a moment before venturing, "How are you coping with…your first kill?"
Naruto sighed. The [Gamer's Mind] stopped him being emotional about it, but the intellectual side…
"Better than I thought I would." He admitted, "I guess killing all those Chakra Mutations was of some good as I didn't freeze up when I realised I had killed him. But…it isn't easy to realise a jutsu I used killed him."
Neko put a hand on his shoulder. "It shouldn't be comfortable. Even ANBU don't like to kill, but we do it when ordered to or when our duty demands it because otherwise those we have sworn to protect will suffer. The same applies in your case. Had you not reacted decisively as you did, Genin Higurashi could be undergoing a fate worse than death right now and you could be dead or crippled. Take pride in the fact that you prevented it and move forward."
"Thanks, Neko-san." Naruto smiled wanly, "Well, I'd best be getting back to practicing my Fūinjutsu. Still have to get those damn Type-1 scrolls right."
"May I see a copy?" Neko asked curiously. Naruto led her into his apartment, pulled one from the pile of finished scrolls and handed it to her. Examining it, she nodded slowly.
