The Future: Naruto Fanfiction

Chapter 197 - A PLAN FULFILLED

North-East Seblix

Naruto power-transfers to both legs and throws himself towards the bunker. Sabine creates a chain from golden 'chaos' energy and throws it towards him. The Hokage's One True Sense lets him see this coming, he twists his body at the last moment, evading the attack. However, the chain then clashes into a collection of beasts and guards, tying them and spinning them around at great velocity. One of these guards hits Naruto and knocks him back from his path and towards Sabine.

Didier uses golden 'leadership' energy to form a pair of arms. He strikes Sabine twice forcing her to take a single step back. He walks forward but steps on a golden 'chaos' trap left by Sabine, this causes some of his energy to fly in all directions, hurting both friends and foes. Not perturbed he steps forward again before jumping at Sabine. The Queen of Ewoa grabs Didier by the tail, swinging him over her head and painfully into the ground.

Sabine runs back into Naruto's path. He is still using Detonation Martial Arts to enhance the power of his legs. He throws himself left first as a feint, then to he throws himself to the right. Sabine falls for the feint, running to her right, but the stone she stepped on to move herself in that direction is forced back into Naruto's path, holding up for a second. Sabine uses that second to run back into his path and strike at the rebel.

Princess Emilie leaps through the air, tackling Naruto to the ground and out of the attack's path. She then turns, standing over him protectively as Sabine turns once more and looks to attack them. Sabine steps forward, but once more Didier tackles the Queen away from the Beast Princess and the rebel.

Sabine may love the chaos of the battle, but she has had enough of the Beast Kingdom's interference now. She slams her hand into the ground, throwing an intense cloud of dust up and into King Didier's eyes. He tries to act on instinct and successfully bites Sabine's shoulder, but the queen laughs maniacally. She punches up into Didier's gut, lifting him off her and forcing him to release his bite. When he is air-born she kicks him in the side, sending him scuttling back along the ground. Emilie tries to fill the void by dashing at Sabine, but the queen kicks her aside with even greater ease.

Once again, nothing between her and Naruto. But this time Didier is blind. Wuying grins. Working with Sabine has proven to the greatest decision of his life. He is treated with the same importance as the upper ranks of the Imperial Guard, and he will now be given some of the credit for eliminating Uzumaki Naruto. He has picked his allies wisely, and that ally made the perfect choice of whose power to seal.

Nearby Nadia smiles, it seems that Sabine's information has let her down again.

Sabine walks towards Naruto but she is hit by a rock, putting her on her back foot. She is surprised to see that even while he is blind Didier is still attacking her. She doesn't know how this is possible. Didier is blind at the moment. He may have tremendous beast instincts, but even he should struggle to fight so proficiently with his eyes closed. So, how does he do it? It is information that she lacks, but information that Nadia has always valued.

'The King's Eyes,' Nadia recalls. 'Didier is a class 9 warrior, naturally he has a divine ability. I've always been jealous of his ability. It gives him intelligence gathering powers superior to my own. The King's Eyes, those who accept him as their leader are designated as his subordinates, and he can see everything they can see. And in this battle that includes the rebels.'

Fighting with an out of body view is incredibly difficult. Even when that out of body view is crystal clear thanks to eyes of those like Uchiha Sasuke and Endou Hinata, it is not easy. Indeed, Didier's instincts cannot compare to Hannah's, but he is still the Beast King. With much practice, he has learned to fight while viewing his body from the eyes of another.
