Blackstone (Discontinued)

Chapter 4

2 days Later:

Naruto was walking along with 20 men behind him and Jun. He had made a few adjustments to his armor before he left and now they acted as both weights and protection. He had gotten word that there was a village nearby being sapped of its resources, so he decided that he needed to investigate.

It took awhile, but he made it. He reached an unfinished bridge and a boat next to it, "Looks like the boat can only hold 4. ALRIGHT MEN, MAKE CAMP HERE AND KEEP WATCH, JUN AND I GO ACROSS WITH 2 OTHER MEN! UNDERSTOOD?!" Naruto shouted.

"YES, ABADDON!" They all chanted together. They called him the name he was given by his mother after she named him as the heir of Blackstone. He took 2 nameless soldiers and Jun on the boat and rowed across the water. It took some time, but they made it across and found a village in poverty and many people without homes, "Now who could have done this?" Naruto asked.

"Let's ask one of the locals... Excuse me?" Jun walked up to a woman with long black hair, a short-sleeved pink shirt, and a long blue skirt.

"Hm, y-yes?" She asked, wary of the man.

"Why is the village like this?" He asked.

"You must be new here," she said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, so why is this place so... broken?" Jun asked once more.

"It started some time ago, a man named Gato came into town and started a... business, one that involves women being made into slaves," the woman said.

"Why don't you do something about it?" Naruto asked as he walked up to her.

"W-we're afraid," she replied, stepping away from the teen.

"Afraid?" Jun asked a bit disgusted at the word.

"Yes, you see, my late husband was executed for trying to protect the village from Gato. It...left a scar on us all, especially my son, Inari. Though not his biological father, Inari saw him as such." The woman said, tears now forming in her eyes.

"Where is he?" Naruto asked her.

"W-what?" The woman asked shocked by his question.

"Where is Gato?" Naruto repeated.

"He's in his mansion," the woman answered.

"And where might that be?" Naruto asked.

"That way," she said, pointing in a direction

"Thank you," Naruto said as they walked in that direction, only to be stopped by a boy with a white bucket hat and two blue stripes.

"Do you think you can beat him? YOU'RE IDIOTS!" The boy exclaimed.

"Inari!" The woman shouted.

"You're idiots, Gato can't be killed!" Inari exclaimed as Naruto walked up to him and kneeled down at the boy's level.

"You honestly think that he can escape justice?" Naruto asked, a amused smile on his face.

"HE CAN'T BE KILLED BY MAN!" Inari shouted.

"Well then... boys, stay behind and protect the village," Naruto ordered as he began walking to the mansion.

"What do you think you're doing? Didn't you hear me?!" Inari shouted at the retreating back of Abaddon.

"He heard you kid, that's why we're staying behind," Jun replied as he grabbed the boy by the collar of his shirt

"Then why aren't you stopping him?!" asked Inari
