Hello everyone, M.D. Knight here with another story. Now, I know, I know, I had said time and time again that I wouldn't transfer and complete another of my storylines until I complete the previous one. However, after spending the last four weeks, give or take a few days, in a writing slump, I felt that a change of pace may help. Which, in turn, lead me to start editing the story that was in the lead for transferring and completing. Something that has led me to finally cave and begin to transfer another of my storylines, as much as I am loathing to do so. As I just know that if I don't tread carefully, my ADD will be having me transferring all of my stories over at once and before I know it, I will be jumping between all thirty of them. With the added joy of my ADD also having me put out completely new stories as well, leaving me stranded in the with no means of getting back to civilization.

Anyway, I will be deleting or editing the poll for what story I transfer and complete next. So, with that said, you all should know that my new updating routine will consist of me Only working on this story when I get writer's block for His Demon and Her Dragon. Also, before anyone of my readers offers to help me past the writer's block that I currently have, I will say this right now. That won't work this time as my writer's block isn't because I don't know what to write, but more like I don't know who to go about writing it for the next chapter. Either way, I hope you will enjoy this newly, and heavily rewritten first chapter of Naruto and His Shedevil.

Oh, and please remember to leave a review.

Chapter 1

The sun had given way to a beautiful sunrise for the Hidden Leaf village. A sunrise that one could best see from the Hokage monument. However, for Hiruzen Sarutobi, the view from his office gave him just as good of a view. Seeing as he hardly had any free time since he had to retake the position of Hokage, and what little he did wasn't enough for him to leave his office for more than a handful of minutes during his lunch before he clocked out for each day.

Though he didn't really mind that, he had already had a full life, and more importantly, being the Hokage allowed for him to offer his surrogate grandson at least some measure of protection. So even if he could retire again, there would be no way that he would do so unless he was sure that Naruto's protection remained in place. No matter how small that amount of protection was in the grand scheme of things.

"Why does he have to suffer so much, Jiraiya may not be getting any younger and everything may be pointing to him as the child of prophecy, but does that really mean that he has to go through such hell for the rest of his life?" Sarutobi quietly thought out loud as he watched the sunrise.

Yet Sarutobi was soon pulled back to his responsibilities with the appearance of an ANBU in front of his desk.

"Cat reporting," the ANBU announced as the elite female ninja dropped to a knee and had her head bowed.

Quickly running his hand over the seals on his desk that would secure his office and alert his secretary that he wasn't to be disturbed, channeling his chakra into them as he did so. All the while, staying rooted in place as he continued to watch over the village.

"Well, let's have it," Sarutobi said hesitantly, not knowing if he wanted to hear this report due to him knowing exactly what the report was about.

"I'm afraid that your suspicions are right," the purple haired ANBU began, causing Sarutobi to end up feeling rather sickened. "I talked with all of my observers and even the spies that I have planted within the ring of those that the council would go to, to attempt one of their plans to "eliminate the demon". However, whatever it is that they are planning, they are being very careful and not following their typical patterns for when they are planning an elimination attempt. My sources say that they feel that despite being out of the loop, they think the Council will make their move soon and that it will be a bold as well as big. The female Anbu captain grimly reported to her leader.

Taking a moment, Sarutobi let the reality of the situation sink in before he let out an exhausted sigh, sat down in his chair, turned back to his desk, scooted in, placed his hands on his face, and had his elbows on his desk.

"It looks like I have no choice now, I really hoped it would never come to this and that the village would eventually come to accept Naruto. Sadly, they have proved me wrong in the worst way imaginable. Leaving me with no other alternatives, at least he will have a far better chance at his dreams and at being happy." Sarutobi said as he pulled his hands down his face before crossing his arms on his desk.

"Come to what? Lord Hokage, you're not making any sense. What option could we possibly have that would give Naruto-kun a better chance at being happy and achieving his dreams?" The ANBU asked.

"Take off your mask Yūgao, and before I answer your question, I will need you to answer three of mine. Also, your answer to the first question will determine not only if I ask the second, but if I even answer yours. Is this clear?" Sarutobi laid out for the kunoichi before him

"As crystal, Lord Hokage," Yūgao answered swiftly as she removed her mask, raised her head, got back to her feet, and stood at attention.

"Let me start off by saying that I am well aware of your rather strong personal attachment to Naruto. A given when you consider that Kushina was your sensei. At first, I could hardly believe it when I found out that you vowed to Kushina of always protecting Naruto, regardless of consequence, and evolved your vow to be his one day be his bride when he had only been a week old. As the years passed, I found it shocking that I had to ban you from having personal interactions with him outside of your ANBU duties and that you hadn't developed an interest in any of the men that have courted you over the year. Earning you the moniker of the first Ice Queen of Konohagakure. Before you went so far as to have your friend Hayate help you get men to stop asking you out by pretending to be your boyfriend. All so you could spend more time monitoring Naruto. Honestly, I had wondered what had gotten into you for the longest time, none more so than when I found out that you would fill any role Naruto wanted you to, so long as you got to be in his life. However, in time I came to accept this and now it leads to two of my three questions. Just how much does filling a role in Naruto's life mean to you? If you could take care of Naruto personally, comfort him when he is sad, laugh with him when he's happy, chase away his night terrors when they keep him from sleeping. If you could have that personal relationship with him, like you always wanted, but had to leave everything behind, your home, your friends, your career as a ninja, even the Elemental Nations themselves, would you?" Sarutobi asked as Yūgao was unable to fight off the blush of embarrassment that she gained when the elderly leader both spelled out his thoughts about the development of her obsession with Naruto. Before Yūgao managed to mount a successful return to a professional composure when the Hokage began to lay out his actual question.

"It means everything to me, I know it sounds weird, given that I am only his mother's student, and that I am several years older than him. However, despite those two facts, it still means everything to me. So needless to say, yes, I would leave everything you listed behind in a heartbeat if it meant I could have a personal relationship with him instead of having to watch over him from the shadows." Yūgao said with a dead serious attitude.

"As I suspected," Sarutobi began as he slowly nodded with his hands lacing themselves in front of his mouth. "Now, have you ever heard of Fiore?" Sarutobi questioned.

"I thought it was a myth," Yūgao with a stunted tone.

"It's no myth, though only the Daimyōs and Kages know if it. Though we tend to try to keep it a just to those of the five great nations. Wouldn't want to have anyone try to trigger a war, as from what we have gathered the land of Fiore is far more unified than the elemental nations and just as powerful as the Cloud, Mist, and Stone alliance that was thrown together in an attempt to wipe out the Uzumaki clan. But I digress, the reason that I ask is that Naruto's class had gone on a field trip to the land of Fiore. In fact, they left around three weeks ago. Which, probably has you confused as you have been watching, "Naruto", or that is to say that you have been watching a henged Iruka. Now before you ask why I am sending a class of Genin hopefuls on a trip to a top secret land, its simple. I had been intent on regaining the control of the village that the civilian council thinks that they've gotten away with taking from me. However, for this to happen, I needed Naruto out of the village long enough for them to be unable to use him against me as well as long enough for the corrections I make to take effect so that Naruto could pass the graduation exam. I mean the boy is a genius, even if most of the village can't see it, he was put into the academy two years early and should have graduated twice already if it weren't for the fucking civilian council. Hell, I think he's been holding back in showing just how ready he is to be a ninja. How else could you explain him being the Leaf's Prankster King from Hell? He's worse than his mother ever could have dreamed to be." Sarutobi said as rubbed his temples in frustrations due to him trying to piece together how Naruto had done some of his pranks.

"Um, Lord Hokage, you haven't answered my question," Yūgao said in hopes of finding out why she was even being told about this in the first place. Though she was also wanting the answer so she could wring the Hokages neck if he didn't have one hell of a reason for why she hadn't been sent to watch over Naruto.

"Right, right, to answer your question, Naruto even being in the elemental nations is far too risky. Mostly due to my former teammate Danzō, the man is obsessed with getting the title of Hokage. So, given that we don't know what the Civilian Council is planning, that Danzō is always at the center of their movements both inside and outside of the Council chambers, and it would be a safe bet that whatever plan they have, it involves getting Danzō into this chair. At which point, there would be nothing standing in his way of making Naruto into the emotionless weapon that, that bastard has always wanted him to be. This also means that if Danzō does get his way, it won't matter if Naruto isn't in the leaf. Danzō will stop at nothing to get his perfect weapon, however, he can't do that if he doesn't know where Naruto is. So after a short talk with our Daimyō, who was close to Naruto's parents, and revealing just who Naruto's parents were and what the situation is, we were given permission to send Naruto's class on a field trip. Which you will now catch up with. I have a boat that will carry you for a week in along the exact route that the previous boat had. You will then run the rest of the way so that you can catch up with Naruto's boat a day before they are supposed to land. Giving you time to rest before informing him of his need to say in that country after you have secretly separated him from his group. Then you will give him this scroll before you make him think that your ANBU identity has left him there. After that, you are to seal away your ANBU gear and assume a normal life there and get as close to Naruto as you like. There will be no more boundaries between you that are held in place by me. As for you personally, I will have it marked that you accepted a demotion before dying on a mission. This will allow me to "assign" your ANBU identity to someone else. Thus giving you a means to officially operate as an ANBU in the Elemental Nations should you ever need to again. Though this will only be the case until the chain of my chosen predecessors breaks, or if I die before I can name one. Do you accept this?" Sarutobi answered as he ended with a question of his own, and holding out the scroll to the ANBU captain.

"Of course I do," Yūgao answered as she took the scroll and left.

With Naruto

Naruto was positive he would pass his next try at the graduation exam, he had already tried two times before but was failed both times. Sure, he had been put into the academy two years early, and had opted to take the tests early but he knew he should have passed. He knew that he had scored perfectly on the written test, combat test and two of the academy three. Though he also knew the fact that he didn't get all three of the academy jutsus should have meant squat due to him knowing that they made exceptions to those with a medical reason which, Naruto knew he had. After all, how the hell could he not know that he had larger chakra reserved then should be medically possible when he was the Leaf's Prankster King from Hell?

So he hoped that this year would be different, and it seemed as though Kami was finally listening to him, as this time due there was a new class field trip to a village called Magnolia in an island that was a bit off the cost of the Land of Fire. Or that was the story that Naruto's class had been fed. Naruto himself knew that with how long they had been told they would be on the boat they would have to be going to another continent. Yet Naruto could care less about that, all he cared about was that the Old Man Hokage was letting him go. Thus, Naruto was hoping that he would learn something on their trip that could help him pass due to the fact that as soon as his class got back, they would be taking their exams. However, Naruto's reminiscing was abruptly cut short as his stomach once again demanded food. Making pulled out of his mind and back to the present as he curled into a tighter ball with him clutching his gut in excruciating pain. Wanting nothing more than to have even a few scraps to eat.

Time Skip

The boat had finally landed and they had just made it into the supposed village. Which, had left Naruto in a state of awe. Unfortunately, that same state of aw caused Naruto to get separated from his class. Leaving Naruto to now walk through Magnolia with his stomach, making its want of food known to the world. Resulted in Naruto once again holding his stomach as the teachers hadn't given him food during the trip. Something that was the result of Iruka not being able to come along as the Hokage needed the teacher to perform a special task during the week Naruto's class left on their trip. So, Naruto blocked out as much of his suffering as he could, and concentrated on having his consciousness slip into his Mindscape.

In Naruto's head

Naruto soon found himself free of pain and walking through the forest that was his mind until he came to a clearing with a small log cabin. Though that was partly due to him having long ago gone through countless mind exercises to reshape his Mindscape. Exercises that he was guided through by none other than Inoichi Yamanaka in exchange for his family being promised to be left out of any mass pranking that he had planned for an entire year. Yet Naruto had only been able to meet Inoichi after he had become Ino's gossip spy for a six months straight.

The Log House itself was a small, boxy log cabin that was located in a rounded open grass field, surrounded by a thick coniferous forest. The house had a porch connected to the front door. The porch was L shaped and stairs in the inner corner. Just past the stairs was a rail that enclosed around the rest of the porch as well as the table and chairs that were also just past the stairs. The one-story cabin consisted of five rooms: the large living room, the bedroom, a small room used as a storeroom, kitchen, and bathroom.

Upon entering the front door, there was a small genkan. After which, there was a sliding shōji that was made from a black wood frame and different shades of red paper placed in such a way that one could see a portrait of the nine-tailed fox. The living room had a round wooden table, a couch, love seat, a reclining chair, and a cutlery sideboard. While the bedroom has a single queen size bed and an attached balcony that overlooks the large lake in the distance, as well as the surrounding hilly terrain, thus providing a place for one to take in the gorgeous view that was surrounding the cabin. Though that was only due to the fact of the cabin was raised off the ground.

Walking in through the front door, Naruto left his sandals in the genkan of the cabin. After that, he turned to the left and ran down to the end of the hallway where he came face to face with yet another shōji door. However, the paper on this shōji showed the image of a fox in a cage. As Naruto opened it, the blonde ran and jumped on the bed, acting much like that of a four-year-old instead of a fourteen-year-old.

"Uh! Naruto, how many times have I told you not to do that?" A melodious voice asked as a redheaded woman with slit pupils in crimson eyes, and pointed ears sat up in her bed.

"Sorry Kaa-san, but you never wake up if I don't," Naruto retorted with a fox-like smile as he once again noted the stunning appearance of his surrogate mother. Idly thinking about how he hoped that he could one day find a woman that was just as strong-willed and kind as she herself was.

She had hot red hair that was pulled into a three-part ponytail. The middle part was styled like that of a regular ponytail that reached the base of her neck, yet the two side parts were tightly curled to only reach halfway despite them all being held together. She also had bangs framing her face and deep purple eyes. Her bangs were styled from the middle of her forehead to the right where they flowed into one of the two large bangs framing her face. Naruto's surrogate mother's height is 170 cm and she had an appearance that made her look as though she was only 23 years old. Her current clothing consisted of a light orange yukata.

"What do you need," Naruto's surrogate mother said as she quickly changed the subject from her bad sleeping habits as a rather strong blush adorned her cheeks. Trying to avoid having to admit that her child had her dead to rights.

"Well, I'm hungry, can you sniff out a place I can eat?" The goofy teen asked, with the woman sighing at her child's antics. As she could clearly remember having taught Naruto to elevate his senses at will, so he would be able to do such tasks without her one day. Yet the young blonde was ever determined to continue to depend on her. A fact that scared her for reasons she dreaded to face.

"I know that I've taught you to be able to do that," the redhead said, as she attempted to cox Naruto into explaining why Naruto refused to use what she had taught him. Only getting her child's expectant gaze in return.

As such, it wasn't long before the woman's resolve cracked, and ended with it giving way to her child's whim. Thus, took a moment before she inhaled deeply through her nose as she seamlessly linked her senses to her child's.

"Turn to your right by ninety degrees, then go straight. It will be dead ahead of you and will be the last building you can see. That's the closest place with food and had a good aura as well, so it's also the most likely place that will give you untampered food." The redhead said with a loving smile as she subtly reminded Naruto to remain guarded when dealing with strangers. To which, she was given a massive hug before Naruto ran out of the cabin and back into the real world.

"Thanks, Kaa-san," Naruto said exclaimed as he bolted.

"Well, looks like I'm up for today," the woman said as she got up and began her morning routine and finished linking the rest of her scenes up with those of her kit's senses, so that she would instantly be able to give her kit any add he may need, the moment he needed it.

Let it not be said that the Kyuubi wasn't overly protective of her kit. Nope, not one bit. It's not like she wanted to hide him away so that she could shield him from the cruelty of the world so she could prevent him from ever feeling any sort of pain.

Outside

Naruto smiled as he turned and walked down an alleyway until he hit a dead end. This caused Naruto to momentarily frown, he new ninjas could walk on walls and whatnot but hadn't been taught how yet. Thankfully, he quickly noted that the alleyway walls were close enough that he leapfrog his way in between the building so that could reach the roof. After which, Naruto proceeded on his way as he hopped from rooftop to rooftop until he was left standing in front of a massive building that had a birdlike symbol placed on it.

Once Naruto reached the targeted building, he wasted little time in entering the said building only to find the people inside were fighting and destroying everything in sight.

"What can we do for you, my boy," a short old man said to Naruto as everyone froze and took in Naruto's appearance, having somehow heard the old man before instantly focusing in on the stranger who was dressed in a kill me now orange and white jumpsuit that looked more fit to be turned into rags than cloths.

"I…" Naruto began to say when his stomach cut him off as it demanded food loudly. Forcing Naruto to double over and hold it in pain yet again.

The bad weather that their ship ran into had turned the one month trip into a two-month trip, normally having to go without food for half that time would have killed someone, but when Naruto told his mother that they weren't feeding him on the trip, she instantly infused every fat cell in his body with her chakra. Which, she then used to make each cell grow until Naruto looked like the Pillsbury dough boy. However, due to Naruto already being malnourished, there wasn't much fat on his body. Thankfully, there still was enough to make it so he didn't look like skin and bones when they finally got to where they were going to.

"Ramen," Naruto groaned out just loudly enough that the short old man could hear him.

"Mira, get this boy some ramen!" Makarov ordered the seventeen-year-old barmaid as she rushed into the kitchen to do just that as Makarov took Naruto over to the bar.

Soon, Mira came back out with a freshly cooked bowl of ramen and set it before Naruto.

As the heavenly scent hit his nose, Naruto did his best to sit up and eat, only to shock everyone as he almost instantly emptied the bowl. Of which, Naruto was now holding out as he politely asked for more with the pained look on his face having lessened ever so slightly. Seeing this, Mira instantly brought out another bowl. Not realizing that she had begun a process continually repeated this action until she found herself unable to keep pace with Naruto's stomach. At which point, the others in the guild began helping out by running to the kitchen and back. During which, Mira was unable to do anything but constantly cooking more ramen with Elfman, Lisanna, and Natsu all seamlessly helping Mira cook by doing nearly all of the prep work. Awing the other with how the four of them worked like a well-oiled cooking machine. Thankfully, Naruto was soon satisfied and had a content smile on his face as everyone finally was able to stop only to have their jaws drop at seeing just how many bowls Naruto had eaten. Suffice to say that they were momentarily in shock when they saw almost two hundred bowls of ramen around Naruto.

"HE'S WORSE THAN CANA IS WITH HER BOOZE," the guild yelled in unison.

"Just how long has it been since you ate," Macao asked in shock as he was getting a sickening feeling that it had been some time since the boy's last meal.

"About two months," Naruto answered plainly

"How could you have survived that long without food? Better yet, why would you even do that to yourself?" Mira asked with a concerned tone, only to notice the rather scared look in Naruto's eyes. It was the same look that she once held in her own eyes, a look she had gained from how her life was before she and her siblings had reached Fairy Tail. As the look that flashed through Naruto's eyes so fast that Mira had all but missed him slipping his emotional mask back into place.

"Well, the boat I was on didn't have enough food like we thought. So, I made sure to give my food rations to those that got sick so they would have more energy to get better. Then we got here and I got separated from everyone else. Before I knew it, I found myself stumbling in here," Naruto said with a forced, fox-like smile that only the Strauss family, Erza, and Makarov could tell was fake.

"Naruto-kun," a voice said as everyone instantly turned to see a purple haired woman that had her hair pulled into a ponytail. Had on a white ceramic cat mask as well as weird black and gray armor.

"Neko-nee-san," Naruto said as he hopped off the stool he was sitting on and ran up to the woman, who he tackled in a bear hug.

As the two pulled away from one another and got back up to their feet, the masked woman pulled off her mask just enough to place a kiss on Naruto's forehead. Unintentionally showing that she had tears streaming down her face before he held Naruto by his shoulders.

"Naruto, I need you to listen to me. The village isn't safe for you anymore. The Civilian Council is planning something big and the Hokage doesn't know what it is or how to stop it without playing into their hands. So he made the field trip up to get you out of the village. You have to stay here, these people can help you, they'll take care of you. Lord Hokage has heard countless rumors about how strong these people are and how this place is meant for those that don't have anywhere else. He wants you to be happy and safe, so he sent me to make sure you'd make it here as he knew the council would try something. Please, Naruto, you can't come back to the village. Those of us that do care would rather know you're safe then see you dead or worse," the woman choked out as her voice and body shook as she spoke, slowly getting worse until she finally pulled Naruto into a tight hug. All as she continued to beg for him to agree to stay.

"Ok Nee-san, I'll stay here," Naruto said with a few tears escaping as he struggled for control over his own emotions.

"Thank you, Naruto, oh, I almost forgot. Lord Hokage wanted me to give you this," the woman said as she gathered her emotions together once more and handed Naruto a scroll and quickly disappeared in a swirl of leaves knowing she had to get things in place before she lost control over herself again. Things that needed to happen if her presence wasn't to raise suspicion.

After the ANBU Cat had left, Naruto stood there for a few minutes until he finally took a breath and looked at the scroll and unrolled it.

Letter

Naruto, I want you to know that I don't do this out of hate or anything else you may be thinking is the reason I am having you, for lack of a better phrasing, all but exiled from the Leaf. I do this because I care about you, but fear I can't protect you from this God-forsaken village anymore. The people that have been manipulating the village behind my back have gotten too good at hiding what they intended to do. Especially when it comes to you and because of that, I now fear the worst.

As such, I arranged for your class to take a field trip to a place I have heard many wonderful things about. I believe these people can help you, but for that to happen, you must understand that where you are, the people there don't know what Chakra is. As they use a different thing that I can't understand unless I were to visit them myself. However, as Hokage, I can't be gone the time it takes to get there. I also understand that there isn't war in the new land that you will now call home, so you will be safe.

Now before I end my letter I have something very important to tell you. I also want you to know I didn't tell you this as I wanted to protect you. Though now I see it did little to do so as you faced the same level of danger, if not more, from those you were trying to learn to protect.

Now you will want to sit for this, the lesson you learned in the academy about the Fourth Hokage killing the Kyuubi is true to an extent. However, there is far more to what happened that night than what you have been told, but for you to understand what happened I must start before the attack. In fact, I have to start with your parents.

Your parents loved you so much that you couldn't fathom how much they care for you, I still laugh when I remember the time that your mother, Kushina Uzumaki, gathered Tsunade, Jiraiya, and myself together just to tell your father, Minato Namikaze, that they would be becoming a family. When he came home, your mother told your father in the only way she could, by saying that she was going to be a mother. So, being the smart man he was and knowing your mother as well as he did, it was easy for your father to put the pieces together. Once he had done so, Minato replied that he was going to be a father. This went back and forth between them several times with them both getting more excited every time until Minato passed out due to what Tsunade deemed the first ever recorded excitement induced blackout.

After that, the next nine months were utter hell for your father and all those close to your mother. Oh, that reminds me, should you ever have a daughter, you MUST warn her husband that they need to brace themselves for a hell beyond imagining the moment she tells you she will be having a baby. Trust me, I had to have Inoichi remove every memory I had in regards to how Kushina was behaving due to how completely terrifying it was.

But back to my point, when your parents were ready to have you, you were late by three months and on the night that your mother went into labor, it was the happiest night of your parents' lives. Until that bastard showed up.

Not even five minutes after you were born, an unknown enemy attacked the location we were at and took you as a hostage to get to your mother. Said assailant tossed you into the air to force your father to catch you, giving the man the opening he needed to take your mother and vanish. After you were safe, your father raced after them, but got there too late as the man had already pulled the Kyuubi out of your mother and had somehow ended up gaining control over it. A control that the man then used to force it into attacking the village. Such control has only been demonstrated by that of Uchiha Madara, whom we believe was the assailant. Once your father got your mother to safety, he went back and severed the man's control over the Kyuubi as well as chased him away. Minato was then forced to use you as the next Jinchūriki of the Kyuubi to save the village and to give you the power that he felt you would need to beat the man that started all of this as your father was sure he would return someday to finish what he started.

Yet even with that, there was no way your father was going to let that demon terrorize you. So he did the only thing he could and had the Shinigami remove the Kyuubi's memories of everything but how to move and every word it knew. Basically, turning the Kyuubi's mind to that of a child that had just learned to talk and everything that requires movement or training. He also took ¼ of the Kyuubi's power as he wasn't certain your body could hold all of that chakra. He then sealed the rest of the Kyuubi into you.

Sadly, your mother died from chakra exhaustion. Though that was only after she had been pushed beyond her limits by having a child, getting the Kyuubi pulled out of her, and then having to use every last bit of her strength to hold the beast in place long enough for your father to perform the reaper death seal. Which, in turn, killed him as well. So let it not be said that your mother knew when to give up because the way she lived made it clear that she didn't even know the meaning of that phrase let alone how to follow it. Yet despite that your father and mother loved you very much, fate chose to be cruel and they never were allowed to raise you as they so wished.

Now, this is the last thing before I wish you luck. At the end of this scroll is a seal, holding everything your parents ever owned from their techniques to every worldly thing they had. Including their entire clan compound. An accomplishment that is thanks to your father being a genius when it came to seals much like your mother. However, for the unsealing of your new compound, you will need a clear space of roughly one hundred acres as the compound was on top of a hill with a large forest and a rather large lake. Oh, and when you unseal the house you should also know that there were multiple animals that live in that forest, and do to how the Jutsu works, they will be alive and well as I only sealed the compound away after I realized I needed to get you out of the village.

Sadly, this is all I can tell you. I'm so sorry and hope you can forgive me for this one day. Please, take care and know I will always see you as my hyperactive, stubborn, pranking king from hell, and beloved grandson even if we don't share blood. Please, stay safe and live YOUR life

Letter end

Once Naruto read the letter, his hair overshadowed his face as he rolled it back up and set it on a table before he walked over to the closest pillar. No sooner did Naruto reach the pillar than he proceeded to drive his fists into it over and over again as he infused his muscles with chakra to increase the strength of his punches.

"DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, WHY THE HELL DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE MY LIFE THAT GETS FUCKED WITH!? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO ME THAT GETS THE RAW DEAL WHEN SHIT HAS TO HIT THE FAN!? SO WHAT IF SASUKE'S BROTHER MURDERED HIS ENTIRE CLAN IN ONE NIGHT! THAT BASTARD HAD THE ENTIRE FUCKING VILLAGE THINKING HIS SHIT WAS A GIFT FROM KAMI AND HE DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE! HE HAD EVERY GIRL IN THE VILLAGE WILLING TO BEND OVER JUST TO LET HIM FUCK THEM AS IF THAT WAS NORMAL! ALL BECAUSE HE WAS THE UCHIHA SURVIVOR! HE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORK FOR A DAMN THING! ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS DEMAND SOMETHING AND THEY GAVE IT TO HIM! I WOULD HAVE WILLINGLY LET SOMEONE KILL ME IF I COULD HAVE JUST HAD FIVE MINUTES WORTH OF FAMILY MEMORIES! YET HE DIDN'T EVEN CARE THAT HE EVEN HAD THOSE MEMORIES! SO WHAT IF I HOLD THE KYUUBI IN MY GUT?! I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO HAVE THAT FORCED ON ME, I DIDN'T ATTACK THE DAMN VILLAGE, YET NOOOO, THEY DIDN'T CARE! THEY STILL MADE MOBS, THEY STILL TREATED ME LIKE A WILD ANIMAL AND THEY STILL BEAT ME UNTIL I WAS ON DEATH'S DOORSTEP TIME AND FUCK TIME AGAIN! SO WHAT IF EVERY TEACHER I EVER HAD DID NOTHING BUT SABITOSHING ME LEARNING HOW TO BECOME A SHINOBI SO I COULD FINALLY GET SOME RESPECT! I WAS THE ONE THAT TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO READ, COOK, BATHE, DO MATH, AND EVERYTHING ELSE I NEEDED TO EVEN LIVE!" Naruto yelled, forgetting that others could see and hear him without his happy go lucky, nothing in the world could possibly go wrong, mask in place.

Meanwhile, the guild watched on in horror as the could see skin and muscle being ripped away from his bones with every punch. Which, was done as they were forced to hear more and more about the hell Naruto had been living in.

Soon, Naruto's anger was spent as he collapsed to his knees with his forearms against the pillar that now had its structural integrity heavily damaged. Naruto then hung his head, as tears of pure pain began streaming from his eyes.

Yet Naruto wasn't allowed to stay in that position long as Mira had quickly moved behind him. Gently turning Naruto, Mira carefully pulled him into a hug as she rubbed her hand on his back to help ease Naruto's emotional state. At first, the sudden action had surprised him and made him tense up. However, Naruto was soon seen to be melting into Mira's comforting embrace. Even becoming so relieved in Mira's presence that he began to fall asleep.

"Sleep well Naruto," Mira's whispered when Naruto's sobs slowly dropped and his breathing evened out as it slowed down.

"Master, why would people do that?" Natsu asked as he looked to be crossed between waiting to puke and feeling a violent rage that was just waiting to explode.

"I don't know Natsu, but it doesn't surprise me given the rumors I have heard about how things work in the Elemental Nations. From what I hear there are nine demons over there with each being stronger than the one before it. The last one, the Nine-Tails, is said to have enough strength to rival that of the Dragon of Apocalypse, Acnologia. The very Dragon responsible for the end of the Dragon human war as he simply started to slaughter every living thing in sight. However, if it's answers that what we want, then I believe this may give us some," Makarov said, as he went to pick up Naruto's scroll, only to have it snatched away from the elderly guild master by an enraged Mirajane.

"This. Isn't. Ours. We will just have to wait for Naruto to see we aren't like those who hurt him and wait for him to open up to us about it," Mira said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Then I hope you're willing to go on jobs again, as I'm putting you in charge of being his rehabilitator," Makarov said simply, "and you can't do that if you don't go with as the boy will need to have some sort of income," Makarov stated, making Mira's already stiff body stiffen further.

Makarov knew this was a low blow, as it had only been six months from the next to disastrous S-class job where the Strauss family almost lost Lisanna. A loss that would have happened if it hadn't been for Natsu following after when he couldn't get his gut feeling that something bad was going to happen on the job, to leave him alone. That feeling was proven right and got Natsu a massive scar running along his chest that Natsu had to seal up after he got it, as he didn't have the luxury of getting it properly looked at. Due to him having to proceed to beat Elfman until the Strauss blacked out. After which, Natsu and Lisanna had to carry Elfman and Mira back to the guild.

The experience had rattled Mira so badly that she had subconsciously sealed away next to all of her magic and had undergone a massive change in her personality.

"Why would he need a rehabilitator, Master? I mean, you never had any of the other members have one and several of us joined the guild with rather dark pasts," Erza questioned

"Nor were any of our guild trained to murder, more importantly, none of our current members are a Jinchuriki. Which, are people that have enough power to eclipse the combined power of our entire guild several times over. Not only that, but Jinchuurikis are rumored to have a level of control over their abilities that they make Gildarts look like someone who has perfect control over his magic. As well as a hair trigger that would make Natsu the poster child for patients," Makarov informed the guild, causing many to gape at the implications of what Makarov just said.

"Fine, put me back on the guild's list of active Mages," Mira said through gritted teeth, causing everyone to have the shock of a lifetime and Makarov to mentally curse as he was hoping Mira would back down after his ultimatum.

"But Mira-nee, you hardly have any magic left," Lisanna called out in worry.

"That doesn't matter, I'll make sure he takes jobs that I can act as an advisor and make sure he's not getting into anything too deep. If not, then I'll put in a job request for him specifically to be my bodyguard on my photo shoots. Besides, I out of everyone here have the best idea as to what he has gone through so I have to help him" Mira said, with her last sentence almost being lost to the guild.

However, Mira's siblings instantly understood what she meant.

"Then we're helping," Lisanna and Elfman said in complete unison as they shocked their big sister due to their tone making it obvious that they wouldn't take no for an answer. Not even from her. As well as the fact that Elfman wasn't yelling about being a "real man" for the first time that the members of the guild could ever recall.

"Don't think I'm letting Lisanna out over my sight after what happened," Natsu challenged with a goofy grin as an Aye was heard from Happy. Which got a smile from Mira as she had Elfman carefully pick up Naruto before the small group walked out of the guild.

With the group

Currently, the small group was at the Take-over siblings' house when Naruto woke up. As Naruto woke up, he found himself in a white room, but it wasn't a hospital as Naruto noticed the bed was actually comfortable. Once he was able to open his eyes and sit up, he noticed that the room wasn't just white, but also looked like someone had set off an explosive tag that had been filled with pink pants. The only thing Naruto could think when he saw this room was that it was the very definition of a girly girl's room

"Oh, good, you're awake, you had me worried," a voice said, causing Naruto's attention to be drawn in the direction that the voice had come from.

"Where am I, who are you," Naruto asked as he was quickly put on guard. Naruto may have recognized the woman as the one that had made him all that delicious ramen, and she had seemed nice enough at the time, however, this wasn't the first time that Naruto had found himself in the same position as he was now and each time it would end with the person trying to hurt him in some way. Which made him very wary of the current situation, regardless of how mind-blowing good that ramen was.

"Relax Naruto-kun, I'm not here to hurt you. Right now you're in the house that my siblings and I have been renting. More specifically, you're in my room. The guild was getting a little too nosy for their own good so I brought you here to treat your wounds and see if I could help you without the guild butting in," Mira said in a caring tone and a small smile, only to have that small smile turn into a frown when she noted that her reassurance of his safety had done nothing to ease Naruto's guard.

"And just what makes you think you could do that?" Naruto challenged, as his hair covered his eyes, having known just what Mira wanted to help him with.

"Because I have had the same things happen to me, the very same things that happened to you. Though the things that done to me might not have been taken to the same degree as what was done to you. However, it was still the same treatment for much the same thing," Mira said as she started to slowly start to clean up Naruto's wounds before she carefully wrapped up each of his fingers and knuckles. During which, Mira was taking extra care to make sure that Naruto could still move them, as Mira had noticed that he made signs with his hands before he used what she assumed was a lost form of magic when the weirdly dressed woman showed up. As such, Mira realized that Naruto's hands must be needed for him to use what she thought was magic.

"When I was around ten, the town that my siblings and I lived in had come under the attack of a demon. It locked itself in our church and nearly anyone that tried to get rid of it was nearly killed. Each time a group went in they all came back out on death's doorstep. It hurt to see the suffering of the people who had done so much for my siblings and me after our parents passed. So much so that we soon felt that we had to do something to help, so my siblings and I snuck into the church one night to get rid of the demon ourselves. We knew the danger we would be in but we were prepared to give our lives to kill the demon if it meant saving our town. Yet the second I touched it, the demon, it glowed a bright yellow before the glow spread over me as well. The glow got so bright that my siblings had to look away. When the glowing stopped, my entire left forearm looked demonic and the demon had vanished," Mira recounted to Naruto as a mass of different emotions showed on her face before she forced herself to continue. "It was after that, that the town's cruel treatment of me began. If it wasn't for my siblings, I would have been driven insane. It didn't last long as we all agreed to leave and soon, we came to Fairy Tail. We explained what happened to the master and told me that I had used a magic called Take-over. Which, let me pull the demon into my body and absorb it so I could use its powers like they were my own from the start and simultaneously killing the demon. After that, my siblings convinced me to stay and I found a family and friends in the guild" Mira finished explaining as she completed her treatment of Naruto's injuries.

Yet Mira found herself surprised when she felt Naruto fingers gently wiping the tears from her face. Finally making Mira realize that she had been crying as she talked.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you remember such painful memories. So please, don't cry" Naruto said in a sorrow filled tone. Causing a radiant smile spread across Mira's face as she was elated that she had gotten through to Naruto and thus, gained his trust. Even if she knew that trust was only a small sliver compared to what it would be when she fully gained his trust.

That's it for now, please remember to review.
