Namikaze legend

Chapter 29: Meet the Titans

Naruto patiently sat in his room, his eyes were currently fixed on his reflection in the mirror. He was fully geared up and in a few moments he had to embark on another dangerous campaign.

They were up against enemy who had destructive weapons, but he didn't know why but he had a feeling that the enemy was much more stronger than they were anticipating.

If those missiles were truly that much destructive than he would have to use his Mangekyo in order to save as much lives as he could.

Naruto knew people were going to die, he was not delusional about this fact. No matter how perfect the plan, there would still be casualties. But he was prepared for it, the situation was going to be worse than Shanxi or Shuri Castle, and he would have to keep his calm.

His sharp ears picked up the noises that were coming from the field where Kakashi's 2nd battalion and his men were anxiously waiting. He could easily feel fear, anxiety, nervousness, anger and hatred from almost all the shinobi.

A swift knock on his door brought him out of this dilemma, and a second later a young raven haired beauty walked into his room. She had shoulder length black hair, she was wearing her Jounin uniform and her Konoha headband proudly,

But the most fascinating thing about her were the dark ruby eyes that were currently staring at him.

"Captain Kurenai Yuhi, it's an honor to meet you," said Naruto respectfully, as the young woman just looked at him in shock.

"You're Commander Phoenix...?" asked Kurenai in surprise, she had heard great stories about this soldier but now she was completely shocked to see he was just a kid...just how was it possible.

"Don't sweat it...I know its hard to believe that I'm the real deal," said Naruto lightly, as he offered her a handshake which she accepted hesitantly.

"I mean no disrespect, but I certainly expected you to be a little older...Commander," said Kurenai carefully, if this was Commander Phoenix then he could easily kill her off in a flash...but it was hard to believe this 14 year old fought against an entire division and 2 Biju's, and even emerged victorious.

He was wearing his Anbu mask, so it was hard for her to estimate his identity...but she had a feeling, she probably knew this boy.

While Kurenai was busy digesting her shock, Naruto quickly pointed his finger at the small map that was placed perfectly on his desk.

"We will be hitting the beach exactly 3 hours from now, if we combine our forces we have 570 men on our side. There are various positions all along the beach, intel predicts that there is a missile facility a few kilometers inside the beach, the number of missiles there are 10," explained Naruto briefly, as Kurenai looked at the map briefly.

"Then we will just have to survive those 10 missiles...it won't be easy, but we will manage," said Kurenai seriously, however Naruto shook his head in negative.

"I wouldn't trust the intel if I was in your position..." said Naruto bitterly, as memories of Shuri Castle came flooding back in his mind.

"Why is that?" asked Kurenai curiously, the intel was usually right about such things.

"The last time I trusted the intel, I lost 25 of my best men and had to fight against two tailed beasts and an entire company of Iwa Anbu...while Intel estimated there were just a few idiots guarding a castle," said Naruto sarcastically, as Kurenai gave him a sympathetic look but it also made her understand the point.
