Devils Never Cry Naruto!

(Author's Note: I do not claim in anyway to have a hold on any characters in this Fanfic seeing as it's a blend between Devil May Cry and Naruto. Also some characters might appear to be Out of Character for the reason that I decided to write them that way for this particular Fanfic)
Three men stood over the Yondaime Hokage's son, Uzumaki Naruto. One was the Jounin Sparda Dante. The second was the Sandaime Hokage. The Last was Hyuuga Hiashi the head of the main branch who had always supported the Sandaime Hokage. The Hokage spoke softly to the two men so they wouldn't wake young naruto, "We are hiding Naruto's mother and twin sister, so the can be protected from falling into darker hands to be used against us and Naruto.. This is my order to you Dante. As soon as he reaches five years of age I want you to train him until he can make it into the academy to become a shinobi. I do not care how you train him nor do I wish to know either let it be a secret til he graduates. I just want his training and guidance to be in such a way as he will not end up hating Konoha." Dante nodded and spoke in the same tone as the hokage, "Since he is a Jinchuriki I believe I can develop a plan on how to train him."
Hiashi stepped forward quickly before they could disperse and spoke, "For those first years of his life Hokage-Sama I offer my home and my family as protecters of this young child. There should be no reason why he should grow up in an orphanage and it keeps you from having to go to extremes to protect him." The Sandaime Hokage thought for a moment his hand stroking his beard softly as her was in thought. "I agree with Hiashi Hokage-sama. It will be easier to train him since Hiashi has been kind enough to let me live in one of the houses on his estate. It will be easier to train him if he and I are in the same place," Dante said as he stood by one of his best friends and waited for the Hokage's decision. "Very well it seems like a good idea. Hiashi I commend you for the offer. Not to mention your courage for how the people might react to one of our man houses raising the one that they are growing to hate simply because he houses the Kyuubi," said the Sandaime Hokage giving his permission. "If the people cannot abide by the Yondaime Hokage's wish to respect the boy as the hero he proclaimed him to be. Then they can deal with me and my family protecting this boy me and my family will make sure he is cared for not to mention he can be friends with my own daughter who was born a couple days ago."
Naruto soon was transferred into the care of the Hyuuga family and Hiashi's younger sister helped to take care of Naruto breast feeding him watching him and Hinata as they ran around the yard playing and getting to know each other. Soon Five years had come and gone and now naruto was taken aside one morning by dante himself so he could start his training. Dante introduced himself, "Hello there Naruto I am Dante I will be your instructor for the next year until you enter the ninja academy I will begin with the basics of Charka."
Beginning of Lesson 1
Body Energy or Shintai Enerugi is a vital force generated within the cells of living organisms. Combined with Spiritual Energy or Seishin Enerugi, or force of will and mental fortitude, it can be harnessed to a variety of uses, such as the production of the superhuman stamina used in Taijutsu. It can also be used for the formation of the energy known as chakra, essential to the use of even the most basic of jutsu.
Once created, chakra moves about the body to any of its 361 release (Chakra) points, utilizing a network of passages not unlike the circulatory system. By various means, handseals being the most common, it can be manipulated to the end of materializing effects otherwise impossible under the laws of nature, such as walking on water or breathing fire. In the context of oriental martial arts philosophy, chakra is indistinguishable from Qi (chi).
Depending on the ratio in which physical and spiritual energy is mixed, different types of chakra can be formed. Elemental chakra is the most common product of this, and is used to perform elemental jutsu. The five known elemental natures are earth, fire, lightning, water and wind. Most ninja have a natural affinity to one type of chakra, but have the capacity to create elemental chakra from their own affinity. Each element is both stronger and weaker against another. The order is fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water, with each being weaker then the previous and stronger then the next. Water loops back into fire. For example, a lightning based attack would be very effective against an earth-based defense, but easily countered by a wind user. Additionally, elemental techniques can be countered by techniques of the same element, provided the technique being countered is of equal or lesser power. A sixth elemental has been mentioned but yet not identified, so its nature and weaknesses in relation to the others are unknown.
Certain Kekkei Genkai can also create unique elements, such as wood (earth water) and ice (water wind), through a mixture of the basic elements, which normal ninja are incapable of doing. While some ninja are capable of producing varied types of chakra, they can't do so simultaneously.
This Lesson happened over several days of explaining as well as answering simple questions. The next couple weeks they went into other lessons and explanations the next was about the eight gates.
Lesson #2
The Eight Gates or Hachimon are eight specific points on a person chakra circulatory system. They limit the overall flow of the chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By opening these gates, the user can surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own bodies. Their strength is typically greatly increased, allowing them to use a variety of unique jutsu. The state where all eight gates are opened is called Hachimon Tonko no Jin.
"Do you understand Naruto?" Dante asked quickly. Since he was starting early then he would with any other kid he was explaining everything in extreme detail. Naruto nods staring intently at his sensei and spoke "Yes sensei I do understand, I am eager to learn more." Dante smiled and went on over the next part of his lesson
Lesson #3
Generally speaking, jutsu are divided into three categories: genjutsu, ninjutsu, and taijutsu. Ninjutsu also has two sub-categories sealing jutsu and cursed seal jutsu, which are jutsu used to create seals for various purposes. There are also Kekkei Genkai abilities. These are not actually jutsu, but genetically-inheirited abilities that are only possessed by specific clans.
Depending on the difficulty or skill necessary to perform a jutus, they will be ranked differently. There are a total of six ranks (from E to S), plus two informal ranks for special circumstances. The rank of a jutsu doesn't necessarily mean it will be more effective than a lower-ranked jutsu, just more difficult to perform properly. The overall effectiveness of any given jutsu is largely based on individual skill. The two informal ranks are "secret" or "hidden" and "forbidden technique" or "kinjutsu". Secret jutsu are passed down from generation to generation within a clan. These jutsu are not ranked since no one outside the clan knows how to perform them. Kekkei Genkai-based jutsu also fall under this rank since it is impossible for anyone else to perform them. Forbidden jutsu, on the other hand often do fall into one of six main ranks, but are an exception because they are forbidden (or, or at the very least, frowned upon) to learn or perform. A technique can be categorized as forbidden if it either causes great harm to the user, such as opening the Eight Gates, or if the techniques are dark or sinister in nature, such as those used by Orochimaru.
Cursed Seal jutsu or Juin Jutsu are jutsu that use a special "cursed seal" to put someone under the control of the user or clicit an unnatural effect in the one they are placed on. They can be used to cause either pain (including death if the pain is large enough) or invoking serious mutations in the recipient.
Genjutsu (illusion techniques) are techniques that use the chakra in the victim's nervous system to create illusions; basically an advanced intellectual ninjutsu. Those with special abilities like the Uchiha clans Sharingan or those with high intelligence have an easier time executing and countering genjutsu, as attention to detail is key. The most commonly seen genjutsu is the simple creation of phantasms – causing the targeted person(s) to hear, see, smell, taste and or feel sensations that are not actually there in order to manipulate them. In other words, genjutsu affects the five senses, though other applications of genjutsu exist. Those under the influence of genjutsu either freeze in place or lose consciousness, depending on how capable they are in recognizing and defending against it. There are several ways to counter genjutsu. Because it uses the victims own chakra against them, the target can cancel the genjutsu by disrupting their chakra flow. This is called Genjutsu Cancel (Genjutsu Kai). Alternatively, should they fail to cancel the genjutsu, intense pain (though not that cause by the genjutsu) can snap them out of it. Finally, someone else can disrupt their chakra flow for them through physical contact.
Kekkei Genkai or bloodline limit are abilities passed down genetically in specific clans. Most clans have developed special jutsu related to their Kekkei Genkai and their related jutsu cannot be taught or copied by others, as they require the specific genetic trait to work, Kekkei Genkai abilities that work via the users eye are called "pupil techniques" or "dojutsu", such as the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan
Ninjutsu is a vague term referring to almost any technique that uses chakra and allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of doing. The earliest forms of ninjutsu are said to have been created by the first owner of the Rinnegan. Unlike genjutsu, which makes the opponent see illusions, the effects of ninjutsu are quite real. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and, most of the time, hand seals (each hand seal showing a different animal in the Chinese zodiac) to be effective. The hands are put in sequential positions that mold chakra in the necessary manner to perform a jutsu. this is not always consistent, however, and some of the simpler jutsu seem to become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will. Additionally, some ninjutsu can be classified as an elemental jutsu, in those cases where a specific element (earth, fire, lightning, water, wind) is used. The phrase "Ninpo" is occasionally added to the beginning of the jutsu.
Sealing Jutsu or Fuin jutsu are jutsu that seal something inside objects or living beings. The most common application of this is sealing weapons or other objects within scrolls to efficiently carry a large number of items. Sealing jutsu are also utilized to restrict access to things such as chakra or entry to a building.
Taijutsu or techniques refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimization of natural human abilities in general. In other words, taijutsu is executed by accessing the user's stamina directly, rather than converting the user's stamina to chakra in order to execute a ninjutsu or genjutsu technique, meaning that taijutsu is much quicker to execute that (though not always as powerful). In some cases, chakra is used to enhance the techniques, particularly in Hyuuga clan's Gentle Fist style and in the case of Tsunade and Sakura, who combine chakra into their attacks to cause great damage. Generally speaking, however, most taijutsu users rarely use chakra in their attacks.
Naruto's eyes were wide with all the information he got in a matter of weeks. Dante smiled as he finished. "Alright now I am gonna show you how to do what I do," He said as he would shift into his demon form and switched between them with his different weapons. The swords the nunchucks even that guitar like scythe. He smirked softly and would start to explain. "I am half-demon and every time I defeat a demon I take their soul and they live on in me. I want to try and teach you that but first you need to defeat the Kyuubi." Dante said as he watched what happened. Naruto's eyes were shut as if he was trying to do it already. Dante smiled and lifted Naruto's shirt and did a few one handed seals and then pushed it into the seal causing it to ripple and change.
Inside Naruto's mind in the deepest darkest place in his mind he saw the gate that held the Kyuubi. "So you are my demon I am to defeat." said the five year old Naruto. "Boy I could rip you in two. How dare you presume that you can defeat me?" The eyes and teeth appeared as he growled at Naruto. "I CAN AND WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Naruto yelled back to him and the seal released allowing the Kyuubi to flood into the small space he wasn't able to take a larger form then Naruto but Naruto went after him with all he had. The battle was long and bloody by internal standards on the outside Naruto simply was at one point covered in a Red Chakra or was himself. Back and forth he went between the two. Then it happened he would wake up his eyes those of the Kyuubi his face in a snarl. "Sensei, I won but this power it's to much I cant hold it." Naruto said in some pain. "Think on a weapon and let it the kyuubi's soul flow into it." As Dante spoke some red chakra moved around Naruto's hands and they became three clawed Katars. "Good now let me check your chakra." As Dante looked him over and sensed at him he smiled. "Welcome to the world Devil." As Dante spoke Naruto started to cry in fear. "Now people will hate me wont they?" the small boy said. Dante shook his head and growled softly, "Stop crying Naruto Devils Never Cry." Dante ordered and Naruto nodded wiping his tears away.
