Blind Ninja Part 1
Yuna's POV
I am really confused. There was no two ways about it. 'Ok Yuna, aside from Aeons, who else show up in smoke?' I think to myself, while keeping an eye on the stranger. 'Let's see here, there's Spherechanging, but that is different from what he just did. What he did almost seems like a Teleportation, from my Psychic Dressphere, but no, it's different from that as well.'
Keeping an eye on this stranger, I whisper into my communication piece that is located in the hood of my shirt. "Brother, can you get either Paine, Tidus, or Wakka to my location? I need some help."
"Fryd'c dra syddan?" (What's the matter?) Brother asks.
"Ed Fuimt pa pacd ev E kud cusa ramb vencd." (It would be best if I got some help first.) I respond.
"Ymnekrd, ymnekrd, Tidus ec uh dra fyo. Oui ufa sa yh aqbmyhydeuh mydan." (Alright, alright, Tidus is on his way. You owe me an explanation later.) Brother responds, before going silent.
"Now, what to do with you?" I wonder out loud to the fallen form of a male with spikey silver hair.
Naruto's POV
I watch as Tidus receives a message from Brother, before taking off running, saying that Yuna needed some help and he'd be right back. Harry and I watch as he runs out of the village, before returning to our current Garment grids, Covetous and The End, and what Dresspheres we have. "As I was thinking, if we put White Mage on the lower left corner, Black Mage on the top, with Gun Mage on the lower right corner, we could make the most effective use of Osmose and Drain. Considering the fact that we would be able to keep healing ourselves no matter which form we are in, it does make sense." I whisper to Harry.
"Yes, that does make sense, but what about The End? If we put Mascot in the middle, to change into once we activate the gates, and then put in Berserker, Dark Knight, Samurai, and Warrior, we would make the best use of the two abilities it provides." He puts the spheres in the order he says, and I can see why that would be a powerful combination, but I can see something to make it better.
"Replace either the Samurai or Warrior with Alchemist so that we can raid our Stash for healing items. No use putting in an all attack team with no healing, despite how powerful the abilities can seem." I respond, and hold out the two spheres so he can make his decision.
"Tough choice, Warrior does deal a good amount of damage, but Samurai has Momentum, and Mirror of Equity, as well as Clean Slate. I'd say remove Warrior and put in Alchemist. we can always Mix up some powerful items when needed anyways," Harry says, and replaces the Warrior Sphere in my hand with the Alchemist one.
"I didn't really think of that, anyway, we need to decide who uses what Grid, I don't want to put you out of anything you want, I mean, I know you like the Trainer Sphere and the Lord Luck Sphere, so we can replace one of the ones mentioned with either of them, and you know I like Berserker and Dark Knight. Maybe in Covetous, we can replace the Gun Mage for Mascot when we're not using The End, and then the other two places, you can have the bottom left corner, and I can have the middle." I whisper to Harry.
"That works, we can use the first formation for when we need high magical abilities, and the second one for our own personal use. I'd probably use Lord Luck for that, and then for The End, replace Dark Knight with Trainer, you?"
"I was thinking the same as well, and then for me, well, I'd probably use Dark Knight on Covetous, and since my two are already on The End leave it as is. I'd probably even let the change be permanent. So that's a total of one of each of the following, Berserker, Dark Knight, Trainer, Alchemist, Lord Luck and Samurai, and two Mascots. That's the plan, and it does leave us with lots of options for the future. What shall we do about magic though?" I ask Harry.
"It really doesn't take a lot of time to change the Dresspheres on a Garment Grid, and it doesn't take long to switch what grid were using as well. What we will need to do is make sure that while one of us is doing the switch, the other is protecting, simple." Harry responds before looking up, "Dad's home with mom, and apparently they have a guest." This catches my attention, what kind of guest would require both mom and dad to help out? I can already feel my throat closing, joy.
Kakashi's POV
It really is humiliating to have to be carried between this couple, but their chakra, is so different from what I understand. The way that it flared when she just out of the blue changed her clothes, and then the way she healed me, it's like nothing I've ever felt before. Hokage-sama asked me to be very careful about revealing anything, so I have yet to use my implanted Sharingan eye to see how they do it. It's probably a kekkei genkai anyways, so I probably wouldn't be able to copy it even if I tried.
Everyone was, surprisingly helpful, especially in getting the things needed to help heal my 'wounds.' I am thankful that they were done in such a way that I wasn't actually damaged. When they tried to remove my headband to check for any damage to that eye, logical, I stop them. "I am sorry, but I have an eye injury, so I wear my hitai-ate like this, to avoid surprising people." I say calmly.
Surprisingly, they buy it, but the girl from before does her weird clothes changing jutsu and then proceeds to charge up something, what is she planning? "Scan," That is a jutsu I haven't heard before.
"Hatake Kakashi, has an eye implanted into his left eye, is said to be a Shinobi from Konoha, wherever that is, and is said to be the Copy-Cat Ninja. So, Kimahri with a Thief or Berserker Sphere attached, or a Black Mage Sphere, or a Dark Knight, or a Samurai, really it's hard to pinpoint what Dressphere he would technically use." The girl intones. Did she get all of that information from one jutsu? if that's the case, I'd better start making small gestures of friendship to that girl and see if she is amiable about coming to Konoha to see the Hokage. I think I can spin it into letting her friends come as well if they have some of the same abilities as her.
"That's interesting Yuna," The boy says, "Anything else about him? Is he even a threat?" Smart asking that.
"Not really, he'll be bedridden for a couple of days, followed by a slow recovery. I don't think he's in immediate danger so no White Magic healing for him anytime soon," The girl, Yuna I believe, responds.
Harry's POV
One look at the stranger, and I can tell that he and Naruto will not be getting along. I can already tell that right now with how tense he is at the moment. "Pnudran, yna oui ymnekrd?" (Brother, are you alright?) I ask, concerned that either he or the stranger will be hurt soon.
"E ghuf dryd syh, pnudran. Ra ec y hehzy vnus frana E fyc pavuna. Dra raytpyht, dra cospum, ed dammc sa dryd." (I know that man, brother. He is a ninja from where I was before. The headband, the symbol, it tells me that.) Naruto whispers to me, before positioning me behind him, as if he wants to protect me.
"Crymm fa mad Sus yht Tyt ghuf?" (Shall we let Mom and Dad know?) I ask, ready to switch to the Mascot Dressphere in case things get ugly.
"E tuh'd fyhd du kad duu lmuca. E's yvnyet cusadrehk femm rybbah du sa, in suna cbalevelymmo oui." (I don't want to get too close. I'm afraid something will happen to me, or more specifically you.) Naruto responds with, and I just cant help but to shed a silent tear.
"Pnudran, oui femm hud muca sa, fa femm vekrd dukadran." (Brother, you will not lose me, we will fight together.) I respond, hugging him from behind.
"Drah mad ic ica uin nyteu, hu haat du kad lmucan dryh fa yna." (Then let us use our radio, no need to get closer than we are.) Naruto responds with, before turning around to embrace me fully.
Using the radio in the glove, I connect with Dad, "Tyt, fa ryja y csymm bnupmas. Dra bancuh dryd ec vuiht ec vnus frana pnudran fyc rind, tu hud mad dras kad eh nyhka vun pudr uv draen cyvado." (Dad, we have a small problem. The person that is found is from where brother was hurt, do not let them get in range for both of their safety.) I say to him.
"Ihtancduut, ku du ouin yihd yht ihlma'c ruica, drao'mm gaab oui cyva, ihdem fa lyh ynnyhka dnyhcbund du Kimahri." (Understood, go to your aunt and uncle's house, they'll keep you safe, until we can arrange transport to Kimahri.) Dad responds.
"Mt. Gagazet?" I ask, calculating just what will be needed for us to sequester away when Rikku, Brother, and Buddy come to get us.
"Oac, yho naycuh fro oui yna dymgehk eh Al-Bhed druikr?" (Yes, any reason why you are talking in Al-Bhed though?) Dad asks.
"Cu dryd dra bancuh tuac hud ihtancdyht fryd ec naymmo kuehk uh ev ra lyh rayn, yht ymcu eh y myhkiyka ra bnupypmo fuimth'd ihtancdyht."(So that the person does not understand what is really going on if he can hear, and also in a language he probably wouldn't understand) I respond with, before pulling away from Naruto. I quickly equip The End and go into my Trainer Sphere.
What I have on are brown leather pants, dark brown leather boots, a leather shirt that has a low v partially tied together with a green leather strap. I have on a light brown leather jacket with a dark green cross stitching going down the sides to keep it from flapping around. I also have on some dark brown gloves with green stitching on them. My animal companion is Shika, a deer, a big one with 8 prongs. "Brother, Berserker, you'll be unable to be caught, and counter if you are hit, you can do it." I whisper to Naruto, while turning to Shika, "Could you get Naruto and I some clothes from home? We're going to Aunt Lulu and Uncle Wakka's home for now." I ask Shika. A flash of light from beside me tells me that Naruto went to Berserker, that's good, and when I receive the confirmation nod from Shika, we go our separate ways.
Lulu's POV
I listen in Bori's room as the front door slammed open, the slammed shut not even a second later. It looks like there's some trouble in the village, this dose not bode well.
"AUNT LULU?! ARE YOU IN?" My adopted nephew Harry yells out.
"Bori's room," I respond, before I hear some sounds of a one sided argument in Al-Bhed. Somethings never change.
There's a gentle knock on the door after a few minutes, during which the fight immediately broke up, and in comes the familiar clop-clop of hooves. I am guessing that Harry had Shika bring something. I hear two sets of feet come down the stairs, and to Bori's room. "It's open." I say, smiling slightly.
"Good day Aunt Lulu, sorry to bother you, but we have a slight problem, Naruto has gone mostly silent again, and only speaks in Al-Bhed for the moment." Harry informs me. I can't help but to wonder, what could have caused it? "The cause is a man Mom found outside the village, and that man is at least connected to Naruto's past." Ah, that explains so much. "So, until he's gone, and until proper transportation to Mt. Gagazet is found, most likely Rikku, Buddy, and Brother, we'll be staying here."
"Well, that explains why there was the one sided argument that I could hear, tell me, have you made any progress on your Garment Grid placement?" I ask, partially curious to see how far they've gotten.
"Yeah, in Covetous, we've decided on Lord Luck, Dark Knight, and Mascot, while in The End is Mascot, Samurai, Berserker, Alchemist, and Trainer. We got that far before Naruto froze up and things happened. Why are you in Cousin Bori's room anyways?" Harry asks.
"It was originally my meditation room for when I was starting on my path of becoming a Black Mage, now I like to come and meditate every once in a while, for old times sake." I respond with a small smile.
I can tell that Naruto whispers something to Harry, which Harry spends a second translating before speaking, "Naruto says, and I quote, 'That is nice, must be like how I go to Luca to remember where I first met my brother,' end quote, which I must agree, to a degree."
"Yes, very much like that, this is where I also helped Yuna master her first White Mage spell, Cure. So this places holds many memories for me, and now that it is my son's room, many more memories as well. Come, you two must be hungry, and I am certain Bori will as well, stay in this room, and you know where the emergency escape is if it is needed. I'll be right back, I am going to make a snack for the five of us." I say, before departing. If that new man is really the cause of Naruto's distress, then I must see it for myself and see if my Onion Knight will finally be of use again. I am itching to get a good Ultima Fury going, and it looks like I might just have the perfect target.
(A/N: Remind me not to get Lulu angry at me, she's powerful.)
Tidus' POV
I see that Lulu has approached the sleeping man, thanks to a small spell from myself. "What is his story?" Lulu asks, in her 'deadly calm' voice. Uh-oh, someone's going to get hurt.
"Apparently a spell gone wrong or right depending on who you ask, we already know to keep him away from Naruto, no I don't plan on letting him go free anytime soon until their safe with Kimahri, yes we will have eyes on him at all times, no, I don't think we will have any trouble with him, calm yourself Lulu, or do you want to go to Zanarkand and use your overdrive there?" I ask, knowing full well when she's like that, only a few things will calm her down, and only one way right now.
"Not at the moment, I can hold it in, but the moment he goes after Harry or Naruto, don't stop me." She intones rather coldly.
"Wasn't even planning on stopping Yuna," I whisper, "Anyways, we need to make sure that they stay separate and that the boys stay safe, any ideas?" I ask.
I shudder at her smirk, "A few."
