Claymore: Cynthia - the former number 14 of the Organization

When he activated the seal he was unprepared for the flash of light red that **** him to close his eyes protectively. Knowing light red would tell Naruto the summoned person is powerful and potentially hostile he was going to prepare himself if he or she was.

He found himself thankful he had the foresight to put down the barrier seal beforehand otherwise he was sure the ANBU would be swarming this place minutes from now.

When he opened his eyes again he was stunned to see a beautiful light blonde haired, silver eyed girl about the same age as him wearing a tight two piece black leather long sleeved bodysuit (that did well in showing her figure, curves and bare thighs), and a pair of matching coloured thigh high leather leggings with plate boots standing in front of him. Her hair is braided in a pair of plaits and is hung forward over her shoulders. What caught his eye was the massive great sword she is carrying on her back.

When happened next took Naruto by surprise. The girls eyes glowed white for a split second as she went ramrod straight. Her entire body began to glow as the seal scanned her for any deformities or disfigurements before acting accordingly. It detected a rather large disfigurement on the girls torso, and sensed what was underneath the disfigurement gave the girl her abilities. It began to adjust its removal, healing the scar/deformity entirely, leaving behind a thin scarring that was almost unnoticeable while at the same time allowing the girl to keep her powers.

Her pretty face went wide with panic for a moment before it twisted into one of pure agony as she opened her mouth, throwing her head back in a silent scream as she wrapped her arms around her torso as if it would stop the pain from continuing. Then she fell to her knees, her face dropping as she stared at the ground with pained eyes.

Once that was done enslavement seal began adjusting her mind to think of Naruto as her master. The seal making the thought of harming him unthinkable and to make her completely loyal to him. She resisted the brainwashing process, putting all her might into keeping her own thoughts as hers. After what seemed like hours (in reality it was minutes) her mental defence against the rewrite began to wane. Her mind slowly getting strained against the constant **** of the enslavement seal. The pain of having her body adjusted still fresh on her mind was not helping and served to make her mental defences strain even more.

It wasn't long before she slipped up, just for a second, before she quickly strengthened her mind again. However the damage was done. It was enough for the seal to take advantage and begin to adjust her mind a little before her mental barrier was brought back up. The silver eyed, blonde haired girl felt her mind strain even more, and just when it became too much it collapsed entirely. The girl's defences were quickly torn down and was quickly ensnared before she had a chance to recover.

Once these changes were made the glowing aura surrounding the entire of her body slowly faded away. The silver eyed girl got back up to her feet looking as if nothing happened, and stared at the whisker faced blonde in front of her, surprising him when she gave him a cheery smile. With her new mindset she didn't see Naruto as a threat.

“Hi! My name is Cynthia, what is yours?” The girl now named Cynthia asked cheerfully as she extended her hand out for Naruto to shake.

Naruto stared at her oddly for a moment before gazing down at the hand. Cynthia's smile faltered a bit at that. Slowly frowning she was about to lower her hand to her side when Naruto suddenly clasped it, and began to shake her hand with an apologetic smile.

“Sorry about that, Cynthia. It's rare for people to be this open towards me.” He explained to her. When she nodded her head in understanding he grinned brightly at her and enthusiastically introduced himself. “My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Pleased to meet you.”

Cynthia grinned cheerfully and nodded politely to him. “Pleased to meet you too. So, do you know where I am?” She asked as she finally took in her new surroundings. Her silver eyes widened in awe when she saw how tall the trees here are compared back home. They were gigantic!

Naruto scratched the back of his head as he looked down at the seal Cynthia was standing in the middle of with a frown. He remembered the light red colour when she was summoned. She's dangerous but friendly. That can easily change if he worded this wrong. So what did he do? He started winging it.

“You're in the Elemental Nations?” He told her looking a little unsure.

Cynthia stared at Naruto in surprise. Elemental Nations? She hadn't heard any place called the Elemental Nations on this world. Frowning a little Cynthia surveyed her surroundings before redirecting her focus on her fellow blonde.

“I never heard of a place called 'Elemental Nations' on This World. Do you know how I ended up here?” She politely asked. He had this strange aura around him that comforted her, not to mention she could sense a hidden power inside him that made her literal inner demon shiver. It felt similar to yoki but at the same time it was different. From his huge reserves she could easily sense how much of it he had.

If he was like her, he would rank among the Single Digits.

Naruto blinked at how she referred the planet they were on as 'This World' instead of calling it Earth. Didn't she know the name of the place she came? Internally shrugging Naruto looked down at the ground and pointed. Arching an eyebrow Cynthia followed his gaze and both her eyebrows went up in surprise. She didn't know what she was looking at but it was something she had never seen before. It looked like swirling patterns etched on a human sized sheet of paper.

“That seal you are standing in the middle of is designed to summon people. I guess I had made a miscalculation in the seal design and summoned you by accident.”

He was wondering why she wasn't panicking over the fact she was basically taken away from her home against her will and wasn't demanding for answers. He didn't realise the reason she wasn't being aggressive, demanding answers or panicking was because she was already enslaved and had her mindset changed.

“Truly?” Cynthia said as she turned around and leaned over to get a closer look at the seal. Unknowingly giving Naruto a view of her round, shapely ass and her perfect smooth and well toned thighs. “While I have never seen such a thing before, it appears to have worked. But I am guessing it did not work not in the way you have expected it to?”

Naruto couldn't tear his eyes away from her ass. He could swear she wasn't wearing anything underneath that body suit. It was skin tight. Leaving nothing to the imagination. His eyes darted to her waist. The lower half of the bodysuit looked like panties, with the upper half overlapping it a little. Then came her legs. A large portion of her thighs was left bare. The rest of her legs was covered in high thigh leggings made from the same material as her body suit. On her feet Cynthia wore dark plate boots in the same colour as the rest of her body suit.

The analyzation of her uniform took Naruto less than ten seconds to commit to memory.

“It didn't work the way I had intended it.” He answered after he was finished admiring Cynthia's ass. Afterwards he began explaining the seal was designed to erase the need for long distance travel and can be used as a way to get home. He then told her there may be a way to reverse summon her, so she could return back to her place but it could take months to several years in order to do that.

It was a lie of course. But he was telling the truth that it could take months to several years to include that function. Designing a seal from scratch wasn't an easy task after all. Having to include another function - such as reverse summoning – would require him redesigning the seal to include it. What he was lying about was how long it would take. If he used a bunch of Shadow Clones then the time and effort would be reduced drastically.

When Cynthia was told finding a way to get her home could take up from a few months to a few years, she turned halfway over her shoulder to look at him with an arched brow. Naruto swore he saw a look of disappointment on her face. He didn't know why but he had a feeling it wasn't because of how long he told her it would take to get her home.

Walking off the seal the silver eyed girl stood beside her fellow blonde, and pulled her sword out from its place. Naruto stepped away from her, eyes wide in alarm when he heard the sound of the sword being drawn.

“I'm not going to hurt you Naruto. No need for you to panic.” Cynthia reassured him upon seeing his startled look. Then in an incredible display of strength she stabbed the blade into the ground, and continued to push until it was halfway embedded.

Naruto gaped at her in shock. He sensed no chakra being used at all! That was all her! Oh, god, this was like Sakura and Tsunade all over again! Only Cynthia doesn't use chakra to do the feat she just did!

Cynthia giggled at the expression on his face. “You act as if you've never seen someone do that before.” She stated as she leaned against the flat end of her claymore.

“I haven't seen anyone do something like that.” Well apart from Sakura and Tsunade. But they use chakra to make craters in the ground and punch down walls. If she was this strong without using chakra, he dreaded to imagine what Cynthia is capable of doing if some poor bastard happened to piss her off. “I take it that others where you are from are capable of doing the same thing as you?”

Cynthia frowned thoughtfully at that. “Yes all the women back home are capable of doing what I am doing, although there are differences.” She replied slowly. “Apart from me there are 46 others. Each of us is ranked based on our strength and ability, with number 1 being the strongest and number 47 being the weakest. In terms and strength and ability, I would rank at number 14.”

Well that is nice to know. The lower the number the stronger you are, and the opposite being weaker. It was not that hard for Naruto to follow. He had to wonder what the others like her are capable of. Still this reinforced his belief that this girl was dangerous, and from the colour of her eyes and unnaturally light blonde hair, she wasn't normal compared to other people.

Is she from some sort of clan or something? Or was this a result of some kind of experiment? Naruto had no idea just how close he was when he thought the latter.

While he wasn't a sensor, he should have been able to 'feel' something from her. Everything and everyone has chakra in them. It's the bases of the world. So why can't he detect anything from her up this close? Then he felt like hitting himself. She was from an entirely another place and the summoning seal he made in theory can bring people from different dimensions to his own. That must be where she came from: another dimension that doesn't use chakra.

His theory was proven correct when they began talking and began to share some things about their respective worlds. Apparently the world Cynthia came from doesn't have chakra and they're some what primitive compared to his own world. However the life expectancy over there is alarmingly low when he discovered there are monstrous beings called Yoma that kills humans. He was even more alarmed when these beings can take on the forms of those they consume, with their memories and personalities and are impossible for anyone to detect. While humans can fight them, it is rare for any to be skilled enough to kill.

And that was why Claymores – who Cynthia explained is someone like her – was made. By taking the flesh of the Yoma slain at a young age, they become half-human half-Yoma warriors. Claymores are the only ones who are able to detect these Yoma, and effectively kill them even if they have taken human form.

Because of them having the flesh of Yoma implanted in their body, their body’s had been changed. These changes include loss of pigment in the hair and eyes, resulting in all Claymores having silver eyes and very light brown, blond, or silver hair, a few also develop pointed, elf-like ears, and not do not age after reaching adulthood. Another change is they can survive on very minimal amounts of food, needing only to consume a very small portion once every few days, and can easily go a week without water or nourishment.

Because of their Yoma blood, training, social isolation and harsh lives, Claymore warrior generally turn out to be outwardly cold, unexpressive and emotionless. This has made humans distrust and fear them, and thought of them as ticking time bombs waiting to go off.

Naruto thought it was ironic in a way. Here there are people called Jinchuuriki, people who have these natural walking disasters called 'Tailed Beasts' - because of their multiple tails and they take on the form of animals - sealed in them at a young age. While in some places Jinchuuriki are respected and thought as heroes, in other places they are not as lucky and are treated as less than human and are ignored or abused by the very people they protect.

Naruto himself was unfortunately one of the unlucky ones.

“That's...sad. You're a lot like us in a way.” Cynthia said with a sad frown. She had finished listening to Naruto explain what a Jinchuuriki is, and what they mostly go through when growing up.

She had also finished listening to Naruto as he explained what chakra was and what a person like him was capable of doing when using it. He showed her his signature move, the Shadow Clone Jutsu when she gave him a disbelieving look. Suffice to say that blew her away.

Naruto nodded sadly as he closed his eyes in remembrance. “Yeah... Loneliness. Despair. Isolation. That is some of the things we have to deal with when growing up. And in some ways I got lucky compared to others.”

“What do you mean?” Cynthia asked with a concerned frown.

“People like us do not generally live happy lives.” The blue eyed blonde started. “A lot of people tend to think of us as weapons or dangerous and valuable assets to manipulate. Unfortunately we mostly end growing up alone and isolated from others. A friend of mine, who is also like me, had assassins hired by his own father to try and kill him from a young age.” Cynthia's mouth dropped open in shock. Naruto nodded grimly, knowing what she was thinking. “Yeah, it was that bad. After an...event...that involved a family member of his, my friend went insane and since then killed only for himself and didn't show a shred of remorse when doing it. His own people, family included feared him since then. It didn't help he couldn't sleep at night otherwise the Shukaku, one of the nine and weakest of the tailed beasts, would be unleashed when he does while attacking at his sanity at the same time.”

Cynthia by the time Naruto was finished was looking at him with a horrified look on her face. “That's horrible! They should be treating you as humans, not as monsters or weapons!” She exclaimed fiercely and passionately.

“If only people thought like you do Cynthia. Thankfully he is ok now, and has people who depend on him.” Naruto said to her with a smile to which she returned.

“So, if there are nine of these Tailed Beasts which one do you hold?”

“I hold the strongest. The ninth.”

“The strongest?” She went wide eyed in astonishment. Suddenly she looked him over with an unreadable look before bringing her silver eyes back to his face. “Can I see where it is sealed away?”

Blinking Naruto shrugged seeing no harm in it. He unzipped his jacket and took it off, followed by the mesh shirt underneath, leaving his chest bare. Cynthia subconsciously licked her lips as her eyes wandered his torso, liking what she saw. He had the physique of an athlete. His muscles weren't too big nor to small, and has a six pack showing he was fit and exercised regularly. His physique made her moist and her primal instincts were telling her to shed her armour and claim him. She was able to beat down and repress that side of her however.

She blinked when she felt an energy source similar to yoki coming from Naruto. She opened her mouth to question him on how he could have yoki, only for it to die in her mouth when she saw ink suddenly appear on his abdomen that quickly turned into a seal that she thought resembled a whirlpool. She walked to him to get a closer look and leaned down so she was face to face with it. She softly rubbed her fingers against it tilting her head to the side curiously.

Naruto shivered when he felt Cynthia's cold fingers brushing against his stomach. He knew she would get curious from it. He didn't think she would be leaning down in front of him with her hands on his stomach though.

“So the Tailed Beast is sealed in you behind this seal?”

Naruto nodded. “Yeah. It is.” He let his concentration on bringing the Kyuubi's chakra out drop. The seal faded away leaving his abdomen clear once more. Seeing this Cynthia straightened up again. “It was hard living through the years because of it. But I endured.”

Cynthia slowly nodded with partially closed eyes. Being in close proximity to him was making her mind fuzzy and aroused. His scent was filling her nostrils and she liked it. She leaned in and closing her eyes, she inhaled his scent through her nose.

“Indeed. You certainly turned out ok.” She slyly purred out.
