Heaven's Feeling – 04

For the few years that followed, Naruto's innocence was ripped slowly away as he saw countless atrocities committed by those around him.

Villages burned in their wakes, corpse mutilated for fun, and mother cries for her children as they were being butchered while she was being raped.

The green grass turned crimson red as bloods constantly were spilt.

Wars and conflict engulfed the lawless land after the mighty empire of Rome collapsed.

Naruto didn't know much about that empire through the years, only that it had stood for centuries, governing this world.

Unfortunately, like all things, it crumbled with time.

The barbarians helped it along as well.

Naruto clenched his fist, feeling much of his strength returned.

He was strong, above normal people as his muscles developed further.

His charka pathway was still a wreck, but he felt some sensation every now and then.

They were being healed through his Uzumaki's bloodline, but very slowly.

He kneeled down at the ragged form a teenage girl.

She was still young, only roughly 14 years old.

Her body was drenched in semen as her hips were spread apart forcefully and her eyes not focusing on anything particular.

She was recently gang-raped.

Naruto held her head up and kissed her forehead, but she didn't response at all.

"I'm so sorry, forgive me. If I didn't save you then, you wouldn't have to suffer this fate," Naruto apologized as he cut her throat, ending her miserable existence.

He had saved her many months ago because he couldn't let her die, and it came to this.

"Naruto," the chieftain roared angrily as he pointed at all the corpses around the blond.

They were warrior class of the tribe.

Naruto had killed them when he found out what they had done, and some were still doing it when he caught them.

The chieftain was furious and ordered his guards to seize Naruto.

Naruto allowed them dragged him into a jail cell as he was still depressed.

He looked at moonlight above and cleared the tears from his eyes.

They would let him out eventually since he was a powerful warrior in the tribe.

Naruto couldn't kill the chief yet because the chief's bodyguard will retaliate, and he wasn't strong enough to take them all on and escape.

"If only someone can bring order and peace back to the land…" Naruto muttered to himself as he pulled a piece of ragged sheet over his body and entered the dream world.

Faces of those he had killed haunted him, but he ignored them as he trained his mind to do.

Days went by with the chief constantly asked if he had repented for his action.

Naruto remained silence at the question.

Horn blazing as Naruto snapped his eyes open in the cold misty morning.

The fog had shrouded the surrounding.

He heard strange noise in the distance and narrowed his eyes toward the incoming shadows.

Banners were flapping wildly in the winds as screams and shouts were heard all around him.

One of the barbarians ran passed his cage as Naruto threw a small stone cup at that person to get his attention.

"What's going on?" Naruto asked as the barbarian stopped in his track.

The bearded man had his leather armour on incorrectly.

"Under attack, man in metal armours, scary," the barbarian said in a panicked voice before he ran off in opposite direction, and away from the coming banner.

Naruto blinked at the revelation, and immediately broke out from the wooden cage with a well-placed kick.

He could have done so any time since his strength was greater than normal person now.

Naruto ran toward his tent, and found it was ransacked during his imprisonment.

Naruto sighed as his standard weapons and armours were gone.

Without further delay, Naruto pulled away the carpet that was on the floor in the middle of the room and lifted a long and wide box that was buried beneath.

It was his contingency plan as he realized one day, he would have to leave this place, and find a new path for himself.

Naruto quickly put on his light leather armour from the box. He pulled out the giant great sword.

The blade was made in secret using his old hitai-ate as materials.

Whatever little metal provided from the forehead protector was used for the coating over the solid steel.

Naruto realized that none of the metal in this world could conduct his charka, thus he had to improvise to give him an advantage.

The salvaged metal had allowed him to channel whatever little charka he had within him to produce a sharp and invisible edge that could cut through steel armour like knife to butter.

With that sword in his possession, he was unbeatable in battle.

"I can't die here," Naruto muttered and exited the camp, and ran around looking for a certain target.

He had to dodge a few men with body covered entirely in metals.

They were much more skilful in swordplay than the salvages.

Naruto had no time to check them out as he swung a massive blade across his target, beheading him.

"Told you I would remove your head," Naruto pointed at the chief's dead body.

The dead man's face was filled with shock.

The barbarians in sight were also stunned along with their opponents.

The metal-covered ones recovered first and attacked the barbarian, ending their lives quickly enough before they turned their attentions toward Naruto.
