Naruto activated his Sharingan to see what was happening. His senses will always be active to sense any danger. He didn't tell Sirius that, as he wanted to be an observer.

He stood true to his word and stayed calm even though he knew where the thugs were the entire time. He wanted his son to mature and the way Sirius talked to him before leaving was a good sign. Though Naruto is going to make sure that he is not going to get a big head after this job's success.

'Loke is similar to me in more than one way I guess,' thought Naruto. He is observing the celestial spirit to see any emotions or signs that indicate his inner thoughts.

From all his observations, Naruto found the genuine guilt of the Lion spirit and his reflection over his actions. His determination to move forward after meeting them.

Safe to say, Loke impressed Naruto. It is not easy to move forward when all your world crashes down at a moments notice. As he personally experienced it, Naruto knew how that actually feels like.

Without the support and love of Aldoron and the continued support of Sirius after his father's death, Naruto knew his life would have been way harder than it was.

He decided to be that light to Loke like Aldoron was to him when he was first thrown into this world. With his thoughts clear, he focused on observing his 2 companions' actions.

With Sirius and Loke

Sirius and Loke entered the camp area and Sirius started performing hand signs at a fast pace which Loke didn't understand and looked dumbly.

"Chameleon Jutsu," said Sirius. His body started to shimmer and he disappeared from Loke's view as if vanished. Loke looked around in confusion. He felt someone touch him and turned in the direction he was touched and there was a message written there.

'I'll go inside the tents while you search outside,' read the message and Loke was confused about who wrote it, but as it specifically explains their search operation, he shrugged and went to search the outer parts of the tents.

It was also written not to kill anyone unless they are monsters or some other creatures other than humans. Loke knew that as he worked with Karen on the same rule.

After some time is searching outside, Loke got bored and started to walk in the direction where he saw a small fire as there were no one standing outside the tents.

He saw a few silhouettes walking around the fire and walked towards them, careful to not make any sound and sneaked in and heard their conversation.

"Man, this is boring. Why did our boss call here anyway?"

"That's what I was wondering. Why would I have to work with idiots like you!"

"Careful there, buddy. You can be killed here and no one will find out."

"Do you think I don't know that?"

"I overheard that the bridge company called mages. We were in hiding here to not get caught."

"What can a few mages do? We are in the hundreds!"

"That maybe. But I heard mages are powerful compared to a normal Rune Knight."

"Of course, they are. They can use magic, right?"

"Whatever, if one of them was to come here, I'll kick their ass with my baby." Said a guy, gesturing to a gun in his hand.

'Hmm, so they are smart enough to just here, huh. How interesting. It seems the right time to test what magic I can use.' He thought and decided to take the guns away first as they can make loud sounds that may disturb his partner's undercover mission.

He touched the ring Naruto gave him after he agreed to join their team as they didn't know what magic he could perform. Even though he rejected it, Naruto gave him a rundown of his current situation and he couldn't deny the blonde's offer after that.

From what Loke was told, it is called the Magic Ring which he wore on the index finger of his right hand. Naruto explained about its magic, which is called Ring Magic. 

It is just a jewel with Lacrima in the middle to support the performance of magic. Loke wanted to try his Regulus magic but pushed that thought back as he doesn't know whether he can still use it or not.

"Ring Magic: Bind," he said, pointing the ring towards the guns of the thugs. Green magic circle came into light and all the guns the thugs had were pulled towards Loke with a small string made from the ring.

They were pulled towards him and he crushed all of them with his hands as he still use most of his physical strength.

"You were talking?" he asked the thug who talked about kicking the mages ass. He trembled in fear.

"I shouldn't take much time. So I'll make this quick," said Loke and started his 'work' to put the thugs unconscious. He was done with them in minutes.

"And you were talking about kicking a mage's ass. Well done, Loke," he said, patting himself for successful disposal of thugs without his real magic. With a smile, he made his way towards Naruto.
