"Tsk tsk, they never listen," he said as he placed the blue pistol on her forehead parting her bangs. "Sayonara, little one."
The squeaking sound of a cart's wheel interrupted the moment. The moment that would have followed if he had squeezed the trigger, would have sent Grey matter, blood and flesh all over the place.
"Um, excuse me, coming through." Naruto pushed Quavo aside and stared at Martha who was gaping like a fish out of water.
"How much do these cost?" Naruto pointed at the cart beside him.
Quavo and his henchmen were lost. Even the customers on the floor. The tip of a cold metal touched Naruto's temple as a clicking sound went off.
"Who the fuck are you, fucker?" Quavo didn't like this one. Not an ounce of fear was present in his eyes or his body language. This blonde man gazed at them like they were a fly buzzing around.
Naruto sighed, they never take a hint. "Get that away from my temple."
Quavo was a millisecond away from squeezing the trigger before Naruto parried the arm away and a blue flaming bullet shot out of the gun, Naruto's eyes which were used to high speed projectiles, caught the Bullet's form for a moment before he tilted his head and it went past his face drilling a hole through the wall. Before he could take aim with his other hand, Naruto caught his wrist and pointed it upwards. He drew the criminal forward and reared his his head backward before he delivered a nasty headbutt to the bridge of his nose which reeled him backwards as he nursed his nose.
"Shoot him down!" One of them yelled.
Naruto placed a hand on Martha's head and forced her down, for cover, kicked the cart at the man closest to him and slipped into the many rows of shelves in the store out of their sight. All thanks to his ninja instincts kicking in.
"Fire at everything!"
The hostages screamed in fear as the criminals opened fire on where they thought Naruto was destroying that section of the store.
"Hold your fire!" One of them screamed.
"Where is he?" A white haired thief asked his companions.
One of them heard a skull crack before he crashed face first into the floor before losing consciousness with blood trickling down the floor from his head.
Naruto went after the next person with a twirl as he released a spinning back kick packed with chakra enhanced momentum and torque to his face sending blood, saliva and a handful of teeth flying out of the guy's mouth. The blond ninja cared less about killing them right now because he wasn't holding back his physical strength.
Quavo watched Naruto fight with keen interest and knew he was far stronger than an ordinary human, He wondered if Naruto was a supernatural being or if he at least knew about the supernatural to a certain extent. This one might be like him, he thought.
Bang!
Bang!
Naruto skillfully dodged the bullets advancing forward at impressive speeds. He neared a white haired one and disarmed him, knocking him unconscious with a drop kick in the throat using him like a wall to bounce off as he performed a backflip before landing perfectly on both feet with a pistol in hand.
"Tsk tsk, Pansies... Their whole lot." Quavo remarked with a dry look staring at his fallen lackeys. He clicked his tongue showing no remorse for his fallen underlings. He waited expecting the two he stationed at the entrance/exit before he sighed realizing that Naruto had already taken care of them. Maybe when he disappeared back then. "You know, I brought them rats here for an excursion. Like a field test or something, you get? I normally let them lower rankers do this but today, someone told me I'd find someone interesting in a grocery store."
Naruto advanced forward and came to a halt when Quavo used Martha as a hostage.
"Ah ah ah, You squeeze that trigger and her life's forfeit" Quavo had Martha in his crosshairs.
Naruto raised the gun anyways.
"What kind of hero are you?! You're gonna sacrifice the damsel in distress just so you can kill the villain?" Quavo asked incredulously.
"I'm no hero" Naruto held the gun with both hands and closed one eye for dramatic effect. Clearly, Quavo had the upper hand but he seemed to have bought Naruto's bluff.
"You're different youngin, I wish I had people like you around me. Such a shame really, killing you would be a big waste so let's finish this like the old west do, hm? Whaddya say?" Quavo said with a creepy smile. The expression Quavo had on was off-putting. The smile and his face were a great contrast.
"What?" Naruto asked with a furrowed eyebrow.
Quavo had a nagging feeling that Naruto was the type that would kill a target and a hostage to accomplish a mission.
"Let's duel boy."
"You're weird," Naruto commented.
Quavo stepped away from Martha and holstered his twin blue pistol. He raised both arms up and Sauntered till he was in Naruto's line of sight.
"Whadya say, Hm" He asked with his creepy smile still present.
"That's a big no." Naruto squeezed the trigger.
Quavo, with lightning speed, drew out his twin guns and fired at the incoming bullet Naruto released. Both bullets collided in the air before they fell looking harmless on the ground. The flames on Quavo's bullet consumed Naruto's bullet till it was ash.
The whole store went silent. The hostages didn't dare raise their heads in fear of getting killed by a stray bullet. Martha was the only one beholding this spectacle. She was astonished not because Quavo shot a bullet in the air but because of Naruto's display of courage, power and precision. Though there was one thing she looked past, the half pissed off look on his face.
Naruto, on the other hand, was impressed. The leader was very good. He took aim, this time at Quavo's head and squeezed the trigger twice. Another clang sound and both bulletsfell on the floor harmless.
Naruto was officially pissed, this guy was mocking him. He had two guns and he stopped Naruto's bullets with one which means he was free to take a shot if he wanted to. The shinobi spotted another pistol lying two feet ahead.
Bang!
Bang!
