Sleepless D: This story...Ah fuck it, I'm not even sure what'll it be about so it'll be an adventure for both of us...a long adventure...I hope you enjoy it and don't hate the player for writing this for someone, story made by Jameis...strange. Peace out.
P.S. this story will be a yaoi so be warned and will have some stuff that some people won't agree to, and this will be a multi crossover but it'll be in the Naruto universe which will obviously involve Naruto, also Elder Scrolls. Demons souls (Never played it but I'll try my best to make it work). Adventure quest (Played it once and found it very annoying, but I've been asked and I'll practically kiss anyone that's willing to tell me the sort of things that the game does so any help on this would be greatly appreciated).
The night of the Kyuubi attack prior to the main event, Kushina Uzumaki laid on the bad while the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze trying to keep the seal in one piece. "You're nearly there Kushina, just one more push!" The elderly lady known as Biwako, Hiruzen's wife and midwife to Kushina said.
"IT HURTS!" Kushina yelled while giving a final push and heard crying and Kushina was finally relieved from the pain.
"There, there, what a lovely looking boy." Biwako smiles and shows the child to the parents.
"Ha! I-I'm a father." Minato says, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"No time to cry! There's still the seal!" Biwako yells and walks away with the baby to clean it up.
Kushina suddenly clenched in pain and shifted her legs, the other medical ninja known as Taji looked confused and went to check something and stared in shock. "Umm...Biwako-Sama..." She calls but then stared in shock as she saw Biwako fall to the ground and a kunai caught her eye before it plunged deep within the said eye and dropped to the ground dead.
The Hokage looked in shock and quickly turned around to see a man wearing a mask and a black cloak stood in front of Biwako holding his child in his arms and holding its head. "Naruto!" He yelled.
"Step away from the Jinchuuriki otherwise your child will die at the ripe age of one minute." The man in black warned.
"Just calm down..." Minato warned, Kushina screamed in pain, feeling the tailed beast trying to break out but she felt an unusual pain she had felt a couple of minutes ago. 'Shit, if I don't do something quickly then the Tailed beast will break free.' He thought and shifted closer to the mysterious man.
"You should take your own advice." He says and throws Naruto into the air and pulled out a kunai to stab the child but vanished as Minato appeared against the wall with the said baby, he then saw unusual smoke coming from the blanket and he cursed as he pulled Naruto out of the blanket and vanished once again with Kushina calling their names.
"Damn you to hell!" She yelled but then screamed in pain.
"My, my...is that the Tailed Beast trying to break free or are you dealing with the loss of your husband and child since they left you here?" The man chuckled as he walked towards her to take her away.

A few minutes pass and the cloaked man stood before the chained Kushina who was feeling even more pain. "W-What do you want!" She yelled in pain.
"Just to rip the Nine Tailed Beast out of you to crush the village...but why are you in this much pain? I haven't even begun." He chuckled as his Sharingan eye came to view from the hole in the mask and she felt the Nine Tailed Fox pause before finally pushing through the seal. "Come forth Nine Tailed Fox!" The man ordered.
Kushina felt an absurd amount of pain from the Tailed Beast being ripped out of her and strangely felt a relief from a different area as she collapsed, she tried her best to stay awake and heard crying and a loud roar from the Fox, she looked near her and was shocked to see another baby laying there. "W-What? I-I thought I was s-supposed to h-have one b-baby..." She said, tears coming from her eyes for several things as she reached and took the child into her bosom.
"Hmm? Another child? I thought you were done already." The man chuckled yet again. "You Uzumaki's sure are tough to die seeing that I just ripped a fox out of you and that child landed on its head...At least you'll die with this one." He says and waves his hand and the Fox went to crush the two by slamming its fist into the ground.
It then looked up to see the Fourth Hokage holding Kushina and the baby, looking surprised as he looked at them while forgetting the several hundred foot Fox behind him. "A-Another one!" He says in surprise.
Kushina was feeling incredibly weak by now but held onto her unsuspected baby. "Y-Yes...how's N-Naruto? I-Is he s-safe?" She asked weakly.
"He's fine, I hid him somewhere safe."
Kushina sighed. "Stop...the Nine Tails...there going t-to...destroy t-the village..." Kushina said weakly.
Minato looked at Kushina and the newly born child before vanishing. "Gone again...no matter, time to destroy the Leaf."

Minato slowly placed Kushina and the baby on the bed where Naruto slept. "Look after them...and try thinking of a name for our other little guy." Minato says, trying to stay positive as he went to retrieve his battle gear.

(The battle with Minato and the masked man aka Tobi is the same)
Only a few minutes has passed since the Fox attacked the leaf and the Leaf has suffered greatly since then but they kept the fight going as they waited for the Fourth Hokage to show up. They managed to push the Fox outside the village and kept the attacks going to make sure it didn't re-enter the village, a large explosion and Gamabunta appeared looking tough until he landed on the Nine Tailed Fox and saw the Nine Tailed Fox. "What's the meaning of this!" He yelled.
"Gamabunta! I just need you to hold the Fox down a minute!" Minato yelled, seeing the Fox preparing a Tail Beast Bomb and cursed, quickly gathering his remainder of his chakra.
"I may be big! But I'm not a miracle worker!" The Chief Toad yells and tries his best to do so.
The Fox's head shifted in the direction of the village and the black powerful ball was only a few feet away from the former Hokage who was kneeling down from exhaustion. He looked in horror, knowing that no one would be able to block that until the Fox disappeared while only leaving the toad. "Minato!" The Third Hokage yelled, knowing that Minato transported him and the Fox somewhere else and saw a large explosion happen far away. "Quick! Get the most able ninja you can find and follow me!" The Third yelled t the ANBU next to him and started rushing towards the direction the explosion happened.
Xxxxx
At the location of where the explosion happened, a ruined building stood near the Nine Tailed Fox and Minato holding his wife and two newly born children. There were people screaming in the background as the forest was slightly ablaze, Minato cursed as he saw a small village that lay hidden in the forest burnt with its inhabitants scream and run to escape. He prayed for forgiveness for harming them and he then saw two adults running from a farm nearby with their two children and hoped they'd escape the battle field. "Gotta...put up a...barrier..." Minato said, breathing heavily by the large amount of chakra he used.
Kushina shook violently but chains shot out of her back and a barrier soon stood around the area, preventing as much damage to the landscape as possible, the two babies started to cry by the loud noises. "I'm sorry...I didn't...mean to wake...you..." Kushina smiled weakly as Minato looked worried. "I'll drag the...Fox back in...Me and die with it...that'll stop it for...awhile and you all...will be safe..." Kushina smiled at the three. "I'm just sad that I won't...be able to see...our children grow..." Kushina says.
Minato began crying. "Kushina..." Minato began slowly taking her chakra so he could use the Demon Death Seal so there'd be a portion of her to see their children grow and hopefully meet them.
Kushina was confused by him taking her chakra and everything went blank from there on, the Demon Death Seal was performed and the Fox's soul was being placed inside Minato and the older of the two children. "N-Naruto, look after your little brother." Minato smiled before dropping to the ground and life left his eyes.
Kushina was only barley alive and looked to see one of her children crying on the ground, she reached for him and pulled him into her bosom and cried slowly as life also left her. No one was aware that she was being watched by a greater power and soon was using a mysterious spell, making Kushina's body slowly disappear with the child.
The Third and several ANBU showed up and witnessed her body's disappearance and were left shocked. "What was that?" He wondered aloud but soon heard crying and saw little Naruto laying near his father's body.
Xxxxx
In a place only known by a selected few people in the world was a Maiden in Black standing in the centre while unleashing a spell to summon something. A form of a red haired woman laid on the ground, glowing with a blue aura and was nearly see through laid on the ground before the Maiden in Black.
The light sound of crying could be heard within her arms and the Maiden looked in interest as she saw a red haired baby. "It seems I've taken another that could help mend this damaged world." The Maiden said.
Kushina slowly sat up and looked around in confusion; she then looked at the baby in her arms and was even more confused. "W-What? Where am I?" She asked. "Who's is this?" She asked the Maiden and gestured to the child in her arms.
"Ah, it seems that you lost more than your body." The Maiden said, sounding disappointed. "You are in the Nexus, the holder of everything and that I believe is you child..."
"M-My child?" She said in shock but then got flashes of her past life, the Leaf village, Minato, loving him and then giving birth to a child in a dark room and she suddenly got the image of a giant Nine Tailed Fox killing everything in its wake. "What happened!" She asked, not remembering anything else.
"You were killed by a Masked man whose name seems to elude even me and your life and your lover's was taken by the Nine Tailed Fox Demon." The Maiden tells her.
"W-What!" She says in horror, having a sudden grow of hatred for the Fox that she only remembers.
"The Nine Tailed Fox, Kurama was sealed away inside a child by your husband who died because of it." The Maiden says, having distaste for any human sealing away living demons of the former body of the Old One and losing any connections to it.
Kushina grew hatred towards the demon and was soon brought out of it from the crying of the baby in her arms, she hushed it as she rocked it to sleep in her arms. "I will destroy that creature, for all it's done."
"It cannot be destroyed...it can only go away by having it return to its former body and I have the power to make it sleep for the rest of time." The Maiden says. "But you won't be able to though...but your child can since he's of the living."
Kushina looked at the sleeping baby and nodded. "I will help my child to avenge all that we lost." Kushina vowed.
"Very well..." The Maiden says. "But the child that the demon is inside is your other child."
Kushina didn't seem to react. "I remember now...that child is the reason I lost Minato...that child was the reason the village was destroyed...that child was the reason we were attacked by that man. I will make my son that I harmed destroy that child...the child that has the demon within it." Kushina says in anger.

Several years have passed and Naruto's life was the same as it was since he was the container of the Nine Tailed Fox and was ignored for most of his life. He graduated from the academy and was assigned to the same team and did the same old stuff, not knowing that his life will be changed for the better and the worst because of what is inside him.
Within the Nexus however, a feminine looking boy with long red hair and black combat uniform sat patiently, almost meditating while breathing heavily as if he was having the fight of his life. His body slowly seemed to change, his nails turned black and became longer, whisker marks slowly formed on his cheeks and a purple aura formed around his body. A woman with longer red hair, looking very similar to the boy and a blue aura watched and smirked as the boy breathed harder and sweated more.
Inside his mind, he stood before a giant ugly looking demon that was several times taller than the boy stood before him*; the demon had wings on its back and held a giant axe that had smashed the room completely. "Is that all you got!" The boy yelled, body changing like his form in the real world but showed cat like eyes and charged at the creature.
The creature swung its axe at the boy but he slipped under it with ease and used his claws to keep pulling himself until he slipped underneath the demon and quickly stood. He grinned and pounced onto its back and started shredding its back like no tomorrow, the demon roared in anger and started flapping its wings and started hovering above the ground by several feet and dropped like a giant bolder. It smashed into the ground with enough force to have the boy fall off, the demon stood once again and glared at the boy, it raised its axe above its head and went to smash it where the boy was but the boy did a hand sign and a ball on a chain shot from his stomach at smashed into the demon's face.
The demon dropped its axe and roared in pain as it held it's now slightly dented face as it tried to stay on its feet. The boy took advantage and charged up the wall, using his claws to stay on the wall as he climbed higher and higher until he reached the roof and smirked, he pounced at the creature. He did a quick hand sign and threw his arm up, making a long chain with a hook come out, he swung the chain down and it slammed into the back of the demon's head, causing it to scream in anger and pain.
"How'd you like me now!" He yelled and started pulling with all his strength, making the demon move forward a bit but the demon grabbed the chain and pulled hard. The boy was sent flying towards the demon, the boy let go of the chain and was flying towards the demon's head and pulled his arms back, waited for the last second until he sent them both into the demon's eyes. The demon now blind, screaming in pain and trying to smash anything that got in its way was stamping, swinging, roaring and bleeding everywhere to try and get the boy.
The boy walked backwards and smirked as the demon was very nearly bleeding to death, the demon was getting slower and slower until it flopped to the ground and stopped breathing and energy came from its body and made him scream. When the energy stopped, the boy smirked and looked around while feeling the power soared through his body but then remembered where it came from. "Fucking demons." He says and spits on its body as his body turned back to normal and he walked up to the sword in the middle if the room, surprisingly undamaged by the fight.
The boy yanked it out of the ground and the room started to fade into darkness and he felt his body moving violently until he seemed to stop in a new surroundings. He looked around to find himself in a very dark hallway and was soon followed by the entire area shaking, he quickly moved forward until he reached some steps and climbed them quickly and went through the arch.
He stood shocked by the sight before him, there was a longer hall with windows at the end and outside was the largest creature he'd ever seen in him life. He looked back but saw no way out and slowly walked forward, looking everywhere to find an exit but found none until he reached the window and saw a stair case going down nearby and quickly went down them.
(This is my addition to this part of the story/game) He heard a heated argument going on and looked down to the ground and saw a few people in armour and robes standing the arguing. "We're out of food and I've had enough of eating the dead!" One of the men in light armour yelled
"I can't believe we ate Bob!" Another man in light armour says, spitting in disgust.
"Better dying to feed the others then dying like Malcolm." The leader said, wearing heavy armour as he looked at the man in robes next to him before looking outside to see the giant dragon like demon waiting.
"At least he died quickly!" The first man yelled.
"Yes but going out there is suicidal and we can't escape." The robed man says before looking in surprise. "Oh look, another brave explorer...if not slightly young...how in the blazes did you get here boy?" The robed man asked.
"None of your business, who the fuck are you?" The boy asked.
"Watch your language around me you little runt!" The robed man yelled, making the three other men laugh.
"This kid's funny, we're the brave Warriors of Crestfallen and we're in a bit of a predicament as you can see." The leader says.
"I don't care; I'm going out there to face it." The boy says, still feeling the power soar through his body and walks passed them and left them standing shocked.
"What the hell did that kid say!" The second man yells and quickly goes to get the kid with the others before it was too late.
The child rushed passed the entrance and came face to face with the dragon like demon and it roared in anger, making the world around them shake. The dragon raises and lifts its fist. The first man and the leader rushed out while the other two were near the entrance and watched in horror. The demon's fist slammed down near the boy and he and the others were sent flying with enough force to send them flying several dozen feet away.
The leader however smashed against the wall and every bone in his body shattered and he died quickly while the man and child flew through the doorway and crashed into the other two. The man smashed into the robed man and flew into a large boulder and were both crushed by the momentum. The other second man wasn't lucky and went flying with the child and smashed his head against a pointed rock, killing him as the boy kept skidding until his head smashed against the back wall and died.
Xxxxx
The boy in the room eyes shot open in shock and he quickly vomited his stomach contents, feeling a splitting headache as he quickly stood and turned to see a woman with long red hair like his standing there. "How far did you get Tenshi?" The older woman asked.
"I...I managed to kill several of the mindless and a demon." The boy known as Tenshi smirks. "I never realised how much more power I got from the demon compared to a mindless." He smirked.
"Oh...it seems that a soul caught hold of you and came here as well." The red haired woman smirked as she walked forward and saw a man wearing light armour, shifting in his place as he tried to move.
"Hmm...Must've been one of those Crestfallen Warriors that died at that place." Tenshi chuckled. "Might as well leave him, he won't be any bother since he's just a spirit now." The boy says as he walks away and sees the after images of people dying but has gotten used to them and pays no attention to them.
"Since that was the first demon you've managed to find and annihilated, how did you die after that? Battle wounds?" The woman asked.
"No...I was transported to another location and found a demon that looked more like a dragon than anything else...it killed me with one move." Tenshi says.
The woman raised her in interest but then realised who he faced. "Ah...you came across the Dragon God, not even I would want to face that thing head on like I know you would." The woman chuckled.
"You really do push my buttons mother." The boy says while sitting on the stairs and seeing old Blacksmith Boldwin working on something and Stockpile Thomas looking though his gear.
"How would you like to come to the real world?" The woman asked, making him look confused. "How would you like to kill the demon that took our families lives?" She asked.
"W-What?" Tenshi asked.
"The Maiden in Black is allowing you to go to the real world and bring justice to those that break through the barrier." The woman smiled. "And hopefully kill that Fox, doing so and absorbing its soul will make you practically indestructible."
"...Very well mother...I'll avenge everyone and destroy the Fox, will I be going alone?" Tenshi asked.
"Sadly yes my son...I can't enter the world without a body and mine is long gone." She said.
"When will I be leaving?" The boy asks.
"As soon as you're ready." The woman smiled. "But first you need to talk with the Maiden in Black." She informs him.
Xxxxx
Naruto was sitting under a tree, waiting for the time to pass while Sakura tried to make Sasuke pay attention to her. 'This sucks...' Naruto says to himself.
The team have been waiting for a couple of hours for Kakashi to show up and now he finally did. "Sorry I'm late, I was teaching some kids the role of living today." Kakashi did his eye smile.
"Don't bother! You're the worst role model there is!" Sakura yelled.
Kakashi looked over at Naruto and was surprised that Naruto was deep in thought. 'That's new...' He said to himself. "Oh Naruto..." Kakashi called sweetly.
Naruto was brought out of his thoughts and looked at Kakashi. "Yes Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"You're unusually quiet today...is something wrong?" He asked.
"Huh? No...Just got something on my mind." Naruto replied.
Kakashi nodded. "Right, we've got a mission today." Kakashi began, getting everyone's attention. "I've managed to convince the Hokage to give us a C rank mission to escort a group of caravans to our village to trade." He says. "We'll meet at the North gate in an hour's time." Kakashi tells them before puffing into smoke.
The three went their separate ways and Naruto was left with his thoughts. 'Why am I depressed?' Naruto wondered as he kept walking, he looked around to see people with their loved ones. 'Oh...that's why...' He says to himself, believing that he won't be able to actually have someone to actually care about him other than his team, the Hokage and Iruka. 'It gets harder every year if no one will acknowledge me.'
Xxxxx
Team 7 waited by the gate and Kakashi appeared half an hour late which surprised them by the earliest time he's actually shown up. "Are you sick Kakashi?" Naruto asked.
"...No...Why?" Kakashi asked.
"Because you're here earlier than usual." Naruto says.
"Oh, well I didn't meet any obstructions on my way here." Kakashi tells them.
"Wait! Are you telling us that you actually help people and get distracted like you tell us!" Sakura yells, Kakashi nodded in response. "I say you're lying and trying to make us think you do!" She says.
An old lady came up to Kakashi while holding a child's hand. "Hello again young man, I'll like to thank you for helping me with my shopping yesterday and I hear that you taught my grandson the ways of life." The woman smile at him and then to the boy.
"Yes I did." Kakashi chuckled.
"Thank you, and it's because of you that he wants to become a Shinobi." The old woman smiled.
"Oh, well I wish him luck." Kakashi chuckled and waved goodbye to them as they walked away, he turned to the three Genin and wanted to laugh at their expression. They stared in shock, surprise and disbelief at Kakashi with their mouths hanging wide open, so much so that an actual fly flew into Sakura's mouth and made her start spitting it out while screaming. "Since when did you think I lied?" Kakashi asked.
Xxxxx
Several hours have passed since then and they have finally arrived at their destination, nothing interesting happened on the way other then meeting a strange person in robes that covered his entire body while they were on the roads who called himself M'aiq the Liar. Naruto found him humours, Kakashi found him interesting, Sasuke didn't care while Sakura found him disturbing by the strange comments he made and could swear she saw a tail on him.
So who's the person that employed us Kakashi Sensei?" Sakura asked.
"That'll be my job, you guy go and find a person called Ri'saad and give him this." Kakashi tells them and throws them a small package. "We found two jobs going to this place and thought might as well make it a joint job." Kakashi smiled and walked through the group of caravans, the three looked confused but shrugged as they went through the caravans in search of Ri'saad.
After a few minutes, they found the person they were looking for who was on a caravan with three other people in robes that covered their body entirely. "Ah, thank you, I've been waiting for this item for awhile now." The person said in a weird accent.
"No problems mate." Naruto grinned and walked away from the group.
"Has anyone noticed the increase of 'those' sort of people?" Sakura asked.
"What do mean by 'those' people?" Naruto asked.
"She means there are more people with that sort of accent and wear the same sort of clothing dumbass." Sasuke tells him.
"Really? I thought that it was some sort of new fashion." Naruto says as they walk on.
As they searched for Kakashi, they noticed a small family by a caravan talking to a dark skinned woman with a bow on her back. "Ah, I've finally found you." Kakashi says as he appears behind them.
"Did you find the leader of this group Kakashi Sensei?" Sakura asked.
"Yes and we'll be moving very soon so let's take position around the four edges of the caravans so we'll be able to protect them from all angles." Kakashi said.
They nodded, Naruto moved to one corner while he could tell Sakura was going to take the one closets to Sasuke and the furthest on away from Naruto. Naruto's eyes caught something; he looked to see a reddish caravan with two people in robes, talking to someone inside the caravan, he seemed interested and decided to stay near them out of interest.
Xxxxx
A few hours passed and the sun was close to setting, Naruto walked near the two cloaked people near a reddish caravan, looking curiously as he tried to see who was inside until one of them noticed. "Hey! Go away you little runt!" The man yelled and went to reach for something but the woman nest to him stopped him.
"Don't do that Glenroy, we aren't here to attack other people, especially children that are too curious for their own good." The woman said warningly at the two.
The man called Glenroy sighed. "I'll leave him alone if he leaves us alone Captain." He said but soon got a punch in the arm by the woman.
"We need to be incognito you knucklehead." The woman said.
"I-I'm sorry." The man said quickly, looking around and only seeing Naruto was the only one that heard it. "If you go away I'll give you some cash." The man said.
Naruto perked up and grinned. "Sure." Naruto said.
The man reached into his pocket and walked over to Naruto, making slight clanking noises but Naruto paid no heed as the man gave Naruto what was in his pocket. "Here, now go away." The man said.
Naruto grinned and hurried over to the other end of the line of caravans while counting the money he received.
An hour passes and a few caravans were heading the opposite direction on the other side of the road, Naruto and Sakura paid no heed while Sasuke just stared at them as he walked. Kakashi was walking and found something odd about the caravans and the people on it. 'Are they sleeping?' Kakashi wondered, one of the caravans it a large stone on the ground and in shook the caravan, the driver slumped to the side and Kakashi had just noticed blood on his clothes and saw movement within the caravans, he quickly pulled out a kunai. "Everyone! Stand ready!" Kakashi yelled.
As soon as he said that while the caravans were side by side with the caravans, several people in red robes and dark armour rushed out of them with different weaponry and charged at the people. Everyone panicked while Sasuke jumped out of nowhere and smashed his foot against one of the attackers while Naruto and Sakura looked in shock but quickly armed themselves and attacked the people in red. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled and several Naruto's poofed into existence and started attacking the attackers.
Kakashi charged and stabbed one of the attackers in the gut, the person grunted in pain and went to raise his weapon to attack but the kunai started electrocuting him, making him scream in pain before dying. The person dropped and red smoke covered the person and showed a person in red robes without armour and weapon. "What the?" Kakashi said in confusion but soon re-engaged another attacker.
Sakura was busy making sure none of the civilians were going to get hurt, Naruto was trying to make sure the enemy was occupied while Sasuke was smashing and slashing skulls here and there. Kakashi took out another attacker and was about to deal with another near him until the attacker was stabbed through the gut out the back by a blade. Kakashi looked and saw one of the cloaked people that were near the reddish caravan holding was the person that killed the attacker, he pushed the attacker off and showed he was holding a samurai blade before charging at another red robed man. "What the?" Kakashi though, he looked at the reddish caravan and saw the second cloaked person fighting off a few red cloaked attackers with a samurai sword also, the cloaked attackers were trying to kill whoever was inside it the reddish caravan.
Kakashi was then hit in the back by a club and cursed in pain as he quickly drive the kunai in his hand around and stabbed the person's neck, killing him quickly. A scream was heard at the reddish caravan, he turned to see the cloaked person being overpowered while being clubbed, slashed and stabbed to death while one of the attackers swing the caravan door open. "You'll die for our cause!" The person yelled but soon a blade went through his head and was soon kicked off, a man jumped out of the caravan with a bloody samurai sword drawn and had armour showing from the open robe.
"For the Emperor!" He yelled and started slashing away at the people that killed his companion; they were taken by surprise that there was a hidden guard within the caravan and lost two of their men before they could react, leaving only two.
The two soon started to attack the man but Naruto appeared behind them with a clone and kicked the back of their heads, making them smash head first into the ground. Naruto soon looked at the now dead woman who laid motionless on the ground and cursed for not coming sooner. "They're on the run!" One of the civilians yelled as they started making a run for it.
"And don't come back!" Sakura yelled, trying to act tough in front of Sasuke.
The two remaining men that were near the caravan quickly made a quick sweep to make sure the caravan doesn't get attacked again and finishing off any wounded or unconscious attackers. "That should be all of them." The man known as Glenroy says.
"Mind telling us who you are?" Kakashi asked, knowing that the three that were guarding the reddish caravan weren't normal people.
"That's none of your concern." The man replied.
"No Glenroy...I believe that the people deserve the right to know..." Someone with an old voice came from within the reddish caravan.
The second man checked his fallen companion and cursed as he closed her eyes before removing her sword from her hands. "May the gods allow you to pass into the heavens." He mumbles as he moved away from her and looked to see an old man step out of the caravan.
"What of Captain Renault?" He asked.
"I'm sorry Sire, she didn't make it...but we need to keep moving," The man replied.
"I know...but we need to tell them what is going on first." The old man says and looks at the people and ninja that were standing there and waiting for an answer. "I am Emperor Uriel Septim the VII, I came along with these caravans because me and my guards had to escape my country since I knew my life would be endangered and I wished to help save it before it was too late..." He says.
"Wait...Uriel Septim? The ruler of the Land of Steel and ruler of the Imperial?" Kakashi asked in surprise.
"Yes, also allied with the other Metal countries, including the Land of Iron." Uriel smiled weakly. "My family and I had a strong bond with their leaders and formed the first alliance." He says.
"So...you're a king?" Naruto asked.
Uriel turned to the boy and smiled. "Yes young one, I'm something similar to that." He chuckled. "But right now I was heading to a safe and secure place and remained undercover...or at least we believed." Uriel says grimly. "If I had known...I would have headed by myself since I don't wish for anyone's lives to be endangered because of it.
"My Lord, we needed to remain undercover and we had to blend in with the common rabble." Glenroy says.
"Yes, but I didn't wish for any bloodshed." Uriel says.
"So who and why were those people after you?" Sakura asked.
"That...I'm not sure, but in my dreams I see the world ending shortly after my death." Uriel informs them.
"Talk about a large ego." Sasuke says, losing interest.
"We won't allow that to happen." The second man says. "We of the Blades will protect the Emperor and his heirs to the death."
"I know...but I already know that all of my sons are dead..." Uriel says in a sad tone.
"What? Since when?" The man asked.
"Baurus...when you become a father you have this feeling and Captain Renault informed me that their caravan was attacked but no other word has come." Uriel says.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Kakashi says.
"Yes...I knew this day was coming for some time now, I just wish there was something that would prevent this from happening." Uriel says.
"We will Sire, we just need to get you to the safe zone before we go any further." Glenroy says.
"So where are you heading?" Kakashi asked.
"We were going for the same way as these citizens until we were near your village." Uriel tells them. "If you would allow it, would you allow us to travel with you for a time? If I still risk the people, I will leave in order to keep everyone safe...I also feel I need to stay for a time." Uriel tells them.
"No problem old man! We'll make sure no one gets hurt! Believe it!" Naruto yells.
"Naruto! We could end up getting hurt or getting someone killed!" Sakura yells.
"There's already someone dead!" Naruto yells, pointing at the fallen woman. "And I don't want a nice old man getting the short end of a deal by these people!" Naruto yells at her.
Sakura was surprised by his outburst since he hardly yelled at her and was getting angry at him. "You're yelling at me!" Sakura yells and was going to punch him for that but Kakashi stopped her.
"We'll let you come along since our village doesn't like leaving people on the rough end of a deal." Kakashi says. "And it wouldn't be good on a report if we left an old man that is an Emperor to fend against his own attackers." Kakashi smiled.
"You are too kind." Uriel smiled but knew something will happen but doesn't know what.
"But seeing as you're under attack, we'll have to make a stop by an outpost to be safe." Kakashi informed them, they all agreed and quickly got the caravans moving again after leaving all the attackers bodies and taking the Captain's body with them for a proper burial.

Another hour passes and they all manage to get to the outpost with only one attack by the assassins which they managed to drive away once again. They saw smoke rising from the outpost and thought it was just a couple of campfires but were very wrong once they got there.
"What the hell happened here?" Kakashi asked no one in particular since everyone was shocked that the small fort they were going to hold up in against the attackers was barely standing and the guards there laid dead among the ruins.
"It seems that they expected us to come here..." Uriel says, feeling guilty that this many died because of this unknown assassins wish to kill him.
"We can search for survivors, but right now we need to make sure you're safe first Emperor." Glenroy tells him as they quickly walked towards the small fort in the middle.
"T-This is terrible..." Sakura says in horror.
"Everyone! Park your caravans around the fort so we can protect you all while we wait for help!" Kakashi ordered them as he summoned a ninja dog.
"Hey Kakashi...what happened here?" A small animal says, looking around to see the damage.
"We're not sure Pakkun, but you're going to have to get reinforcements to this location, we've been attacked by several unknown assassins and we can't risk people's lives anymore." Kakashi says in a worried tone.
"Sure Kakashi, but where are we?" Pakkun asked.
"We're at the outpost near Weye." Kakashi tells him.
"Oh, I know now, there's another outpost about an hour's way right?" Pakkun asked.
"Yes, we can risk these people's lives anymore and will hold up here for as long as we can." Kakashi tells him as he sees Baurus guiding the caravans to surround the small fort as Uriel and Glenroy were near the entrance to the small stone keep.
"Okay, I'll be as fast as I can Kakashi." Pakkun tells him and starts running east.
Hey! There's a few wounded here!" One of the civilians yelled.
Kakashi's eyes widened and he quickly ran towards were the civilian yelled, once he got there he and saw three man that were within a ruined building that was only standing. "What happened here?" Kakashi asked.
"We're not sure...we had a strange thing happen...and then we were attacked by man in red robes." The oldest one of the three says.
"Yeah...but it was a blood bath!" A man wearing an eye patch curses in pain as he tightens his wounded leg to try and stop the bleeding.
"I've brought people that have some knowledge of medical experience." A civilian yelled as he rushed towards them with a few other people.
"Thank you, quickly take them to the fort, we'll make a quick sweep to find any enemy or anymore survivors." Kakashi says as the civilians helped the wounded.
"There may be someone in the fort...a group of our men took the civilians and wounded into the fort." The oldest of the wounded Shinobi says.
Once they got there, Glenroy was looking through the main entrance to make sure no one was there. "I don't like the looks of this...I'll go first to check things out." Glenroy says and moves forward with his blade drawn.
They watched as Glenroy walked through the hall and entered the main room, he looked left and right but only saw dead bodies littering the place, civilian and Shinobi alike. "I-It's clear." Glenroy calls back and waves them to come forth. "But it looks like no one's alive in here."
They all walked forward and were nearly sick by the sight before them. "They killed everyone because of me..." Uriel says, feeling a painful pull of his heart by the sight of women and children's bodies.
"We don't know if it was them, now after we mend the wounded, we'll clear the bodies so we can allow others to be in here, but we'll make sure they're given a proper burial." Kakashi informs them.
Half an hour passes of mending the wounded and clearing the bodies from the fort, Kakashi was about to pick up a body of a child, no more than the age of his Genin but the child moved, making him look shocked. "We've got another survivor!" Kakashi yelled, he turned the child over but there was a massive head wound on his head and the blood covered the child's face.
The civilians quickly rushed over and took the child to try and save his life and mend the wound on the child's head. Kakashi sighed and prayed that the child will be alright; he looked around and saw that most of the bodies were gone now and that it'll be alright to have everyone come in now since Baurus made them park their caravans around the fort and have been waiting patiently for them to finish. "You may enter now!" He calls, the civilians, Baurus and his Genin entered, they looked around and were frightened by the large amount of dried blood.
A few minutes pass as everyone tried to get comfortable, this was hard due to the blood, bodies and knowing something bad was going to happen sooner or later. "So what's the plan?" Naruto asked as he looked around, sniffing the air as he looked around.
"We'll hold this location until help comes, the enemy will most likely try and kill the Emperor and forget everyone else." Kakashi says while observing the area for any weaknesses or anything of use. "There's no other entrances other then the main door," He points at the said entrance. "But the gate is broken so we won't be able to hold off against the enemy unless we make a barricade."
"So? We still need people to fight and I don't think a hand full of us can hold off against several attacks." Glenroy states.
"We'll help as best as we can!" One of the wounded Shinobi yells, gaining the other two's agreement.
"Well...they can be part of the second line of defence with Sakura and Sasuke." Kakashi says.
"Wait, does that mean I'll be in the front line then?" Naruto grinned.
"No, you'll be the third line of defence which will be the final one and you'll be guarding the Emperor." Kakashi tells him. "I'll be in the front line."
"Then we'll assist you." Glenroy says. "We're the very best and we can only show our appreciation by fighting alongside you."
"Shouldn't we ask the people if they have any experience in fighting? They could delay them long enough to retaliate." Sasuke suggests.
"Any help would be appreciated." Glenroy says and heads towards the people with Kakashi.
After a few minutes they came back with a dark skinned woman that Naruto had seen with a family previously. "Not as many as we thought but we've got an archer." Kakashi chuckled.
"I'll help you anyway I can." The woman says. "I was hired to protect a family and I'll protect them this way."
"Thank you Mirisa, we'll do our best to save everyone here today." Kakashi smiled. "You'll be best suited for the second line." He informs her and they go through the plan.

Half an hour later, Kakashi, Glenroy and Baurus see the men in red robes emerge from the woods and charge. "There's even more them last time..." Kakashi says, counting them as they charged.
"We fight for the Emperor!" Glenroy and Baurus yelled, throwing their robes away to show their armour (the same armour in Oblivion) and draw their blades.
The enemy soon clashed with their steel and Kakashi's Jutsu's, trying to make sure they don't break through their defence, there were too many to stop them from trying to break down the barricade but were managing to preoccupy many of them. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Kakashi yelled and a few Kakashi's appeared in a cloud of smoke and started attacking them but some broke through the barricade.
"They've broken through!" Glenroy yelled and was about to rush to stop the small group with half a dozen assassins that managed to break through the defence but was smashed in the back of the head by an assassin and was followed by several more blows after he fell to the ground.
"Glenroy!" Baurus yelled and wished to go to him but was too preoccupied with other assassins to try and save him.
Kakashi cursed and hoped that his team will be able to stand their ground against these assassins.
Sasuke and Sakura were throwing kunai and shuriken at the ones that broke through and were charging while the injured Shinobi tried to help by throwing weapons at them. The damage they were doing wasn't much but it helped slow them down, even a dark skinned woman with the bow was trying to stop them.
They managed to get through the hall and half of them went after the civilians while the others charged towards the Emperor. "Sakura! Mirisa! Help the civilians!" He ordered as he charged at the three assassins.
Sakura nodded and went to do so as she saw the people panic and some managing to hold their own against the assassins, particularly the ones in robes. Mirisa just fired one last arrow at the ones Sasuke was charging at before going to save the others, her arrow pierced through one of the assassins throat, making him bleed and die.
The three were managing to take care of the assassins with ease while Naruto was annoyed by being the last line of defence since he liked being the first line. A noise was heard from near where Naruto was and he looked to see a section of the wall to the left sink into the wall and three robed men appeared holding weapons. "Shit! We've got people that snuck through!" Naruto yelled to the others but they were too busy to listen.
"Boy, I've seen something in you that makes me trust you, take this, I know my life will be gone soon and I need you to take this to Juaffre, they must not have the amulet." Uriel says and hands him his Amulet before performing a hand sign, Naurto's body stiffened, he couldn't move anymore and started to panic. "Don't worry...it'll be over as soon as my heart stops beating." Uriel tells him and starts walking towards the assassins.
The three assassins charged towards Naruto and Uriel, they passed the wounded who tried to stop them but couldn't reach them in time. But they soon passed near the unconscious person they found with the head injury, one of them tripped as the person reached out and grabbed his leg, the boy quickly shot up and jumped onto another's back who just noticed his companion's predicament. The person that jumped onto the assassin's back was soon biting his neck and sink in nails into what little areas the armour didn't cover, making him curse and try and throw the person off.
The last assassin was confused for a second but kept charging as fast as he could with a knife drawn to kill Uriel. Uriel raised his arms to make it a clear shot and soon the assassin plunged the knife into Uriel's heart, Uriel felt poison flowing through his body suddenly and felt death's embrace shortly after and fell to the ground. 'I hope this world won't end shortly after my death.' Uriel says to himself as a last thought.
Naruto felt his body able to move again, Naruto roared in rage and felt some of the Fox's chakra flow into his body and charged at the killer as he tried to escape. The injured person that attacked the other two soon moved his teeth towards a different location and bit hard, he soon tasted a large amount of iron tasting water and heard the man gargle as he spat up blood. The second assassin smashed his mace into the person's back, he let go as he felt his ribs crack, the man went to do it again but the person dropped and he hit his soon to be dead companion in his spine, making it a quick death and made him curse.
The killer was close to the exit and he saw his other companions see him and knew the deed was done and quickly went to escape. Baurus and Kakashi was confused by this action, they both turned to see the killer running to escape and saw Naruto jump suddenly and plunged his Fox influenced hand into the killer's back and easily cutting through it and rib out of his chest. Both Baurus and Kakashi stared in disbelief as they saw the man fall to the ground dead, Naruto pulled his hand out of him and looked totally pissed.
He turned around to see the finial assassin that came out of the wall about to kill the small person they found after coming here, he shouted and seemed to vanish for a second.
The person was trying to push themselves away on the ground from the angered assassin, he raised his mace and was about to attack, the person closed his eyes and awaited death. The assassin was soon smashed in the back of the head with enough force to sever his skull from his spine while he was thrown across the room and smashed into the wall. The person was confused for a second and opened his eyes to see the blond Naruto who turned back to normal with his hand outstretched. "Are you alright?" Naruto asked the person.
The person looked in confusion as he looked at Naruto, the light from the entrance shined into his back and made him look like an angle with his sun kissed skin and shiny blond hair. "Y-Yes..." The person said, taking his hand and noticed how soft it was. "I...I've never been better..." He says.
"That's good, what's your name?" Naruto asked.
The person looked confused, finding that he couldn't remember anything and felt his head in absolute pain, he clutched his head in pain making Naruto look worried. "I-It's Tenshi..." The person says, somehow managing to remember his name from the darkness. "T-That's all I can remember..." He said, making Naruto look worried.
Sleepless D: Wow, I got into that more than I originally thought, but if there's anyone that's confused about the story and how Tenshi managed to get there it'll partly be explained in the next chapter. Please review and tell me what you think and I really hope you enjoyed it. Peace out.
