Walking down the road, was a young boy who look no older than nine, he had spiky blond hair and cerulean blue eyes, he wore a red shirt, black shorts, and blue sandals, this boy was Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto lived in Konoha, but was recently given permission to travel, the best way to get away from all the hate in it. You see Naruto holds the Kyuubi no Kitsune inside his body, this was one of the reason the men in Konoha hated him, the second reason was because all the females loved him, they thought he was adorable, cute, and would become a real hunk when he got older, others were friends with him because of that and more, he was treated better than any man in the world was. Men were considered a second class citizens in the world, because they can't use chakra, for as long as anyone can remember only women could mold and use chakra, men were only good for running businesses or housework, heck a jutsu was created to replace men for child bearing and keeping the Kunoichi bloodline alive, but Naruto he was treated better, the women would give the clothes off their backs if he asked them too, most wanted to do so anyway.

Naruto didn't want to be like other men or get special treatment, despite the fact he couldn't use chakra, he wanted to become strong, despite being only eight years old he was very good with a sword, thanks to the two Anbu assigned to protect him, Izumi Uchiha and Yūgao Uzuki, they taught him Kenjutsu and even though he couldn't use chakra with it, they were very impressed with him and spent as much time as they could with him. Izumi want to help Naruto out more, so she asked the other clans as well as her own if they would help out, she didn't need to, as they already decided to help, the Aburame clan taught him about the wilderness and how to survive in case he was ever away from the village, their heiress Shizukana learned with him and invited him on many bug hunts, which he found a little creepy, but enjoyed spending time with her. the Akimichi clan advised him to eat health so he could grow up big and strong, they also wanted him to grow something else, but they whispered it so he couldn't hear, he thought it was food by the drool on the side of their mouths, their heiress, Cho knew that he wouldn't give up his ramen addiction for anything in the world, so she challenged him to a ramen eating contest, if she won he would have to stop eating ramen for a whole year and eat healthy, it was a draw, but Naruto enjoyed the time he spent with her so he agreed to do it so they could hang out more. The Hyuuga and Inuzuka clan taught him hand to hand combat, Naruto learned alongside their children, for the Hyugas the heiress was Hinata, he met her sister Hanabi, and their cousin Nejiko for a time, but he later never saw much of Nejiko after an incident, the Inuzuka heiress Hana, and her younger sister Kira.

The Yamanaka taught him about what flowers or plants can be used as herbs and poison, he didn't get to see the Heiress Ino as much, something about a girl she like or something, but they did become good friends, the Naru clan taught him strategy, how to relax and clear the mind, how to plan, and how to play shogi, he often played against the clan head Shikiko or he could be seen sleeping away outside with her daughter Shika, until her maternal mother Yoshino came and scolded them for being lazy, Shika would say 'troublesome', Naruto would say 'Sorry, I will try not to be', then Yoshino would hug him crying 'Oh I wish you were my child instead, you not as troublesome as my daughter!', only for Shika to yawn and the two go back to sleep with her holding his arm. Naruto met the Haruno clan one day, when he saved their daughter from a bunch of bullies, he walked her home and her parents insisted that he spend the night, Naruto visited them often and he and Sakura became friends, but she started hanging out with Ino and he didn't see either of them that much. Naruto also made friends with most of the jonin, they taught him how to use Kunoichi tools and taijutsu, he learned both with them and two orphans like him, Tenten and Lei, and the final clan to help Naruto was the Sarutobi clan, their head was the Third and current Hokage, Hiruko Sarutobi, she gave him an apartment to live in and when he visited he she and her daughter Asuna, taught him education about the Kunoichi world and its history, he also played with Hiruko's three year old Granddaughter Kokoro, who has grown very attracted to Naruto.

Naruto loved his life here, despite how the male population acted towards him, but he also wanted to see the world and learn more skills, so a week ago he went to see Hiruko and ask her if she would sign the paperwork for him to leave the village, but after that he learned some very shocking and made a new friend

Flashback a week ago…

"Are you sure about this Naruto?" the elder woman known as Hiruko Sarutobi asked, she had always considered Naruto like a grandson to her, she has done her best to keep him safe and keep him from knowing the Kyuubi was inside him, but a part of her felt that this day would come, that Naruto would want to leave the village, but she couldn't help but worry.

"I'm sure Obaa-san" Naruto said smiling "I want to explore and see all the world has to offer outside the walls of Konoha, I want to grow stronger and make new friends all over the Nation!"

Hiruko smiled at how excited and determined he was, it hurt her to know he was going out into such a cruel world, but it was no different than the males and the civilian council posed to him, she couldn't count how many attacks or laws against Naruto she has stop, at least out there they can't get to him. "Alright Naruto-kun" she said as she reached into her draw and pulled out some papers, she stamps her signature and then handed it to Naruto "just sign here and you will be free to travel the Elemental Nation, but please do come and visit".

"I will Obaa-san" Naruto said as he began to sign it "oh and please don't tell anyone I'm going, until after I leave tomorrow, I don't want to see them worry".

"Don't worry Naruto" Hiruko said with a smile "my lips are sealed like a sealing scroll".

Later that night…

Naruto was packing his stuff, so he would be able to get out early in the morning 'That should be everything' he thought as he sat his backpack beside his bed. Naruto suddenly felt his head begin to hurt, he clutched it as the throbbing grew worse and worse 'What wrong with my head' Naruto got on the bed and laid down, maybe some sleep would do him some good, he had a lot on his mind today, Naruto laid his head down, but the pain wouldn't go away, but suddenly it stops. Naruto gave a breath of relief feeling no more pain and buried his head deeper into his fluffy pillow…wait fluffy? Naruto raised his head up and looked down to see he wasn't laying on his bed but a bunch of fur "What is this?"

"My tail" Naruto heard a voice say, he turned to see that it was beautiful woman sitting next to him, she had long red hair and slit crimson eyes, she wore an elegant red kimono with yellow trimmings and black fox designs on it, what caught his eyes the most were the fox ears on top of her head, and the eight crimson fox tails behind her, well nine counting the one he was laying on. "How does it feel?" she asked smiling at him, Naruto looked at her confused until she pointed underneath him "My tail, is it soft?"

"Oh" Naruto said realizing what she was talking about, he then felt the fur again, he didn't notice how soft it was, if he hadn't realized what he was laying on he would be asleep in seconds, he then looked back up at her and smiled "Yes it's very soft".

"I'm glad" she said clapping her hands together "When I'm not working on your body, I groom my tails, I take pride how soft they are and I thank you for being the first person to ever complement them".

"Your welcome" Naruto said glad he could make her happy, until he realized something "…Wait working on my body?"

"Why yes" she said "take a look around" Naruto did as she said and saw they were in some kind of sewer with large bars behind them "were inside your mindscape, if you haven't realized it yet, I'm the Kyuubi no Kitsune, but just call me Nene". Naruto was shocked he was talking to the Kyuubi herself or that she was so nice after all he had heard about her "I know you're probably thinking 'Why is the Kyuubi so nice?' well normally I'm a pretty nice woman, the only reason I went on a rampage in your village was because I was being controlled, so don't think of me as a monster, just think of me as your sexy best friend Nene". She made a cute face, Naruto smiled as he sweatdrop "as for what I meant about working on your body, since males have little to no chakra, my chakra would be hazardous to someone with such small chakra coils, so since you were a cute baby, I've been expanding your coils, not just keeping you alive, but allowing you to use chakra and mine, but that's another story".

"You mean I can use chakra like a Kunoichi!?" Naruto asked, he was excited, he could be as strong as kunoichi, with his skills now he was as strong as a mid to high genin, but with chakra he could go so much further.

"Yes you can" Nene said "also thanks to you with all that physical and mental training you did like a kunoichi would do, your chakra pool and coils have grown more, you have more chakra then Chunin would" Naruto had a wide smile on his face "but after making you're your coils larger I grew a little bored. So I watched you do your training, I enhanced body so it could be stronger, faster" Nene then had a blush and a perverted looking grin on her face "and when you grow older, you will be big and strong in particular areas".

"Umm thanks" Naruto said as he sweatdrop at the look she had "but how am I going to learn jutsu, I'm leaving the village tomorrow".

"I can teach you" she said happily "I have a moderate knowledge of jutsu from your mother's memories, but Naruto it would be best that you don't tell anyone you can use chakra, out in the world many people would want to capture you for their own gain and who knows what they would do to you".

"Wait you knew my mother!?" Naruto shouted, he had wanted to know who his parent was for so long, he had so many questions he had swelling to come out.

"Yes she was my previous host" Nene said "her name was Kushina Uzumaki, your maternal mother, and your parental mother was Minako Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage"

"So I have two mothers" Naruto said, he knew that there was jutsu for women to have children, but it kind of creep him out, it also shocked him that one of them was the Yondaime Hokage, but he really wanted to know one specific question. "Nene-chan" his voice became much softer "d-did they love me?" Naruto had heard that some male orphans were abandon because their parents wanted a girl to continue the kunoichi tradition, he had often wondered if he was the same case.

"Of course they did Naruto" Nene said as she placed a comforting hand on his cheek and gave him a warm smile "they loved you very much, I'll admit they were expecting a girl, but when they laid eyes on you, it was the happiest moment of their lives. I also apologize, if I hadn't been controlled, they wouldn't have had to seal me inside you and they would be alive now, for that I am truly sorry"

Naruto leaned forward and hugged her "It's not your fault Nene, and thank you for telling me that" Nene smiled and hugged him back, Naruto smiled so happily "I can't wait for tomorrow, it's going to be such a great day, now that I have you".

"Aww thank you Naruto" Nene said her tails moving back and forward happily, she then dawned a confused look "by the way, what do you mean tomorrow? You've been out of the village since last night".

"Huh!?" Naruto said and the next moment he blinks he found himself laying on a pillow with the sheet over his head 'Was it a dream?' Naruto thought a little disappointed, he got up and pulled the sheet off of him, his eyes widen when he saw he was sitting under a tree next to a road, next to him was the backpack he filled last night, his mouth was wide open 'I-it wasn't a dream!'.

'I'm kind hearted, sometimes tricky, but never a liar' Nene's voice rang in his head.

"Nene-chan?" Naruto said as he looked around "Where are you?"

'Aww you called me Nene-chan!' Nene said as she giggled a little 'I'm still inside the seal Naruto, but I'm able to talk to you inside your mind, so just think and I will hear you, so how do you like your head start away from the village, I took control of your body for a bit and got you out of the village early. We are about five to seven miles away, you really have great stamina to get this far, not be tired, and still have a few hours of sleep left to get, I'm very impressed'.

'Thanks' Naruto said, he wanted to leave the village without drawing to much attention, but he didn't expect it to be like this, but he was happy he was out, he would miss his friends and their families, but he would be back someday, he promised. Naruto packed the sheet and pillow in his backpack, he then saw a few scrolls inside his pack 'I didn't pack these'.

'I did' Nene said 'If you're going to learn jutsu you need more than what I can teach you, so I took a few jutsu from the library and copied down some special ones from the Hokage's personal library, they really do trust you a lot to just let you in without a care. I also copied down Minako's jutsus, since I'm sure if she was alive she would want you to learn them, it will take a long time for you to learn her jutsu, but the other ones will be a piece of cake after you learn the first jutsu I have to teach you'.

'Ok when do we start?'

'Right now'.

Flashback end…

On that day Naruto learned the Kage no Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu), he made over fifty clones with the jutsu, Nene said he could make more, but told him not to push it, she had his clones work on their taijutsu and had him do a few chakra control techniques, Nene was impressed at how well he was doing, especially since this was his first time using chakra. For the next three days Naruto worked on his chakra control and learning to fight using his clones, during that time Naruto met two Suna nin, Pakura and her student Maki, he was cooking him some dinner from some food he had brought, they were training nearby and smelled the food, he happily invited them to join, after the meal they talked and invited him to come to the Suna with them, but he declined and said he would head there on his own time, they were sadden by that, but didn't argue, they soon left and had him promise to come see them as soon as he got to the Suna. The last two days Naruto learned his elemental affinity from some chakra paper Nene took, he continued to surprise her by having four elements, Futon being the strongest, Katon the second, Raiton the third, and Doton the last, she could only teach him about Futon and Katon since that was all she knew, Naruto learned a Futon and Katon jutsu from the scrolls Nene took, there was nothing on Raiton or Doton, so he would have to wait for that. Finally, Nene taught Naruto a basic Fuinjutsu, he mostly spent the day on trying to get the writing right, but when he was done he took an empty scroll and sealed his backpack in it, so he could travel lighter, now he was looking at his map, he was trying to figure out where to go before making the trip to Sunagakure.

'There's a town a few miles from here' Naruto thought as he sealed the map back into the scroll with the rest of his stuff 'I think I can be there, before Nene wakes up for my training' Naruto walked for a little bit, until he saw something shining in the distance, curiosity getting the better of him, he went over and saw it was a bracelet in the middle of the road. 'That's odd what is this doing here?' Naruto pick it up and examined it, it had strange patterns on it that looked like swirls or patterns, that bended and twisted in some parts 'Strange looking bracelet, someone must have drop it' Naruto saw it was a little large, he stuck his hand through it and saw it was adult sized 'well it doesn't belong to a kid or a teen I guess, I'll ask a villager if—' Naruto stop when he saw the bracelet begin to glow, it began to shrink until it fit tight on Naruto's wrist. "What the hell!?" Naruto shouted as he tried to pull it off, but it was in vain, the bracelet was stuck to his wrist as if becoming a part of it "What's with this thing!?" Naruto got the scroll and unsealed a tanto Naruto had gotten from Izumi Uchiha for his birthday, he was about to try and cut the bracelet, until it began to glow again "Oh what—" before Naruto could finish his question, in a flash of light he was gone.

Far away…

"—now?" Naruto finished as the flash of light died down, Naruto glanced around, he was still on a road, but not the road he was on before, everything was different, a normal person would say that everything looked the same, but to Naruto everything felt different, he knew this was a strange thought, but it was like he wasn't even in the Elemental Nations anymore. Naruto heard something come running his way thought the bushes, he held up his tanto in case it was a bandit or a wild animal, but to his surprise it was a girl no older than him, she had short black hair and blue eyes, she wore a dirty purple dress and was bare foot. She stops when she saw him, both with equal looks of surprise, she glanced down at the tanto and backed away a bit, Naruto saw this and waved his hands in defense "No, no, no, I'm sorry, this isn't for you!" Naruto reassured as he put the tanto in its sheath and tied it to his waist, he turned back to her and smiled "See I would never hurt you or anyone for that matter" the girl looked at him as if she was expecting him to be lying or attack her when she let her guard down, but as she looked in his eyes, she saw he was being honest and nodded with a small smile.

"Where is that Demon child!?" Naruto heard someone shout off into the forest.

'What how did the villagers find me!?' Naruto thought as he began to get scared that the men from Konoha had come to kill him, now that he was out of the village, nobody was there to protect him or get in their way, Naruto then looked at the girl and saw here expression was truly terrified like he was, as if she thought they were talking about her…or were they? Naruto was about to asked her, until she then took off running up the road "Hey wait!" Naruto called out, but she didn't stop, then suddenly a bunch of women and a few men pop out at the head of the road, they wore a white short-sleeved shirt, with a symbol that looked like a bird with the word 'MARINE' underneath it on the back of the shirt, a blue neckerchief, dark blue trousers, and a baseball cap with the same word across the front.

"There she is!" one of the women said as they all looked to see her, Naruto now realized they, whoever they are, were after her and not him, the girl was about to try and run into the forest, until another group came out, one of them threw something onto her, it was a net with light blue marbles on, the girl seemed so weak now as if it was draining her of her energy "That's a sea stone prism net" one of the women smirked as they all gather around "we finally caught you demon".

Naruto watched as the girl screamed and cried, trying her best to get free, but couldn't, memories of when Naruto was chased by the men in the village, calling him a demon and hurting him, he didn't know who this girl was or what she did, but he wasn't going to let the same thing happen to her. Without thinking he made some handsigns "Fūton: Daitoppa! (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!)" Naruto shouted as he gathered wind chakra in his mouth and blew out a small gust of wind, it was powerful enough to send all the people tumbling over and the net to lift up off of the girl, Naruto rushed over and picked her up bridal style, the girl was slightly scared, but Naruto's smile calmed her down "Don't worry I'm getting you out of here".

"Hold it!" one of the women got up and pointed a pistol at him "You're not going anywhere you…you…" she stuttered as her eyes grew wider.

"Sorry lady" Naruto said as he jumps up into the tree and began to jump off into the forest with the girl "but I don't have time to stick around, see ya".

"Solider!" another woman shouted at the pistol holding woman "Why didn't you shout those Nōryoku-shas (Devil Fruit users) when you had a chance!?

"but Ma'am" she said slowly "That second Nōryoku-sha, was…was a boy"

"W-WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE!" the woman shouted as she looked in that direction with sweat running down her face "We need to call for backup".

With Naruto and the mysterious girl…

"You alright?" Naruto asked as he kept jumping from tree to tree.

"Y-yes thank you" she said as she leaned closer to him, she then gained a confused look and she then began patting his chest.

"Umm what are you doing?" Naruto asked as he felt a little uncomfortable by her actions.

"Nothing it's just" she said as she looked up at him "you're a very strange looking girl".

"Huh!?" Naruto said as he lost his footing, the two fell into a hole in a tree, but instead of landing, they fell into some kind of tunnel and slid down until the came into some kind of dark place. They both gave a groan as they stood up "Wh-where are we?" Naruto felt around on the wall and found what he guessed was a light switch, he flips it and a flickering light above lit up the room, it was some kind of well carved out cave, there were two doors, a few chairs, and a golden chest in the corner, but everything had dust and cobwebs, showing that nobody had been here in months, maybe years. "Well I guess this would be a good place to hide" Naruto said getting two chairs for them, as he sat down and smiled at the girl "Umm I never introduced myself, my name is Naruto Uzumaki".

"Nico Robin, just call me Robin" the girl introduced as she sat down, she seemed almost cautions, but was relaxing "If you don't mind me saying Naruto is a strange name for a girl".

"Ok why do you keep calling me a girl" Naruto said with a raised eyebrow "I'm a boy, one hundred percent male".

"What!?" Robin said with a look of shock "but you can control the wind, how can you be a Nōryoku-sha, if you're a boy?"

"What do you mean Nōryoku-sha?" Naruto asked just as confused as she was now.

"You mean you didn't eat a Akuma no Mi?" Robin asked with a raised eyebrow, Naruto shook his head "But then how did you do what you did?"

"Well it's supposed to be a secret" Naruto began as he rubbed his head sheepish like "but I've already exposed myself, so I guess I can tell you, a friend of mine help me survive a very dangerous power I have within me by giving me the ability to use chakra, so now I can use jutsu like any kunoichi in the Elemental Nation".

"The Elemental Nation?"

…

…

"You mean this isn't the Elemental Nation?" Naruto asked as sweat ran down his face 'Please say it is, please say it is!' Naruto thought, praying it was.

"No, I've never heard of that island" Robin said "is it in one of the Blues or on the Grand Line?" that question answered everything, Naruto now realized what had happened to him, the bracelet he picked up somehow brought him to some unknown place, he didn't even know where any of the places she said were, he wanted to explore the world, not be jump to a different part of it. Robin watched as his head drop down, she could almost see a rain cloud over it "Are you ok?"

"Y-yea I'm fine" Naruto lied, he shook his head and sighed 'How am I going to get back, I don't even know where I am' Naruto thought, he then got an idea and smiled "Robin-chan!" Robin jump at his sudden change in expression "Can you teach me everything you know?".

"Umm sure" Robin said "but what do you want to know?"

"Everything" Naruto said as he held out his arm with the bracelet on it "this bracelet somehow transported me from the Elemental Nation to, where ever this is, I need to find a way back" Naruto smiled brighter "I want to know more about this part of world I'm in, I set out to explore the world, this isn't what I was expecting, but I can still make the most of it, and I would like nothing more than my only friend here to help me".

"Y-you think of me as your friend?" Robin asked, her eyes wide.

"Of course I do" Naruto said, his expression turned serious and sadden "I heard what they called you, 'demon child'" Robin's eyes widen even more, but she saw Naruto's hands tight and looked at his sad expression "in my home, that's what they called me, because I had a power that they feared and hated. they treated me like a monster most of my life, I don't know why they call you a demon" Naruto looked at her with a smile "but I don't care, you don't even come close to looking like or being a demon to me, so I really want you to be my friend and help me, and if your willing, share you pain with me".

Robin looked at him for the longest time, and then she finally began to cry, Naruto was confused and wondered if he had done anything wrong, until she saw her smile as she wipes her tears "T-thank you" she said as her smile grew "for being my friend Naruto Dereshishishishi!". When she wipes all her tears away, she saw that Naruto had a really confused look on his face, Robin blushed and looked to the side "A-a friend of mine taught me how to laugh, she told me to always laugh from the heart, even in bad times, that was the laugh she taught me".

"She sounds like a really good friend" Naruto said smiling, Robin smiled back at him "Laugh from your heart huh? Like this Dereshishishishi"

Robin giggled "No more like Dereshishishishi" she instructed, as Naruto and Robin continued laugh, the laughter from their heart bloomed something wonderful.

A three days later…

Naruto open his eyes and yawned, he looked down and saw a cuddling Robin in his arms as they slept on a bed of leaves, for the past three days he and Robin got to know each other better, she told him about her home Ohara, how she was treated, she told him about her friends and Sally, and her mother Olvia, and how the Marines took them and her home away from her, all because of what they knew. Naruto grew more and more angry at the Marines and this 'World Government' for what they done, then go and spread lies, rumors, and putting false labels on her, she was just a child, he also dislikes this part of the world for believing them so easily, after the first day he didn't know how long he had held Robin for as she cried in his arms. Naruto told her about his home, how he was treated, his friends and their families, she seemed very interested in his part of the world and asked him lots of question about its history, what they do, what's it like, Naruto thought if she had paper she would have been writing everything he said down, but he probably would have done the same when she answered his questions.

She told him how the part of the world he was in was made up of islands and vast open sea, it was split into five oceans by a massive continent called the Red Line, the oceans are the West Blue, East Blue, South Blue, North Blue, and in the middle of them is the Grand Line. This made Naruto start to wonder, how big was world or was he actually in his world? Robin said that there have been no records of a place called the Elemental Nation or hidden villages that he described, so he real began to wonder where the bracelet took him, Robin didn't know anything about it either, nor did Nene when she woke up, Nene told him she had travel all over the Elemental Nation and never heard of such placed, but she seemed as if she was trying to recall something, but she couldn't remember. All it was overloading Naruto's brain, so he asked about the Akuma no Mi she talked about earlier, she told him that they were fruits that give who ever eats one gets special powers, she showed him the power she got from the Hana-Hana no Mi, by creating multiple arms, Naruto thought it was really cool which made Robin happy, she then told him something that was close to home to him, only women can eat Akuma no Mi, men explode when they try, so that's why women are Marines or pirates, men are either cabin boys, low ranking Marines, or stay on land at home. Naruto's only thought when she told her that was 'Different place, same rule, women strong, men weak' that explained why she thought he was a girl, Nene seemed real interested in this and has retreated back into him mind saying she's going to work, Naruto and Robin explored the cave, one of the doors lead to the shore, and the other lead to another room, where books, food, and other stuff was stored. The food was rotten, but Naruto and Robin spent most of the time reading the books, when they were hungry they would forage fruit from the forest and share what Naruto had in his scroll, the short time they spent together was wonderful they enjoyed each other company, Naruto could tell Robin was glad to have someone with her and he was too.

Naruto substituted himself with a clone and decided to get some food for them, he crawled up the hole that to the entrance in the tree, he searched the forest for some fruit, he found a few apples, pears, and oranges. "That should be enough" Naruto said as he was about to seal the last of the fruit in another scroll, he stops when he saw something in the bushes, he pulled it out and saw it was a strange black pear with red lines all over, some making a strange shape. Naruto then remembered what Robin said about Akuma no Mi, how they were always stood out as odd looking fruit 'Could this be one?' Naruto thought as he examined it 'I'll show it to Robin when I get back' Naruto put it with the rest of the fruit and sealed it away and put it in his back pocket "Well time to head back".

"Head back to where exactly?" a voice said behind him, Naruto froze as the voice caused a feeling of dread crawl up his spin, he slowly turned around and saw standing there was a girl, she had shoulder length wavy black hair, tied in a ponytail, black narrowed eyes, she wore a black shirt, pants, and shoes. Her expression was calm and easy, but Naruto could practically feel the malice flowing from her, Naruto didn't know what to do, this girl, child or whatever, she was dangerous, she set off multiple warning signs in his body. "Where is Nico Robin?" the girl asked, Naruto sweated as he never found any words to say, even if he did he would never tell her, the girl sighed "Alright then" before Naruto could even blink the girl was right in front of him and he felt a great amount of pain in his stomach, he fell to his knees and almost vomited, as he held his aching stomach he glanced up to see her fist and realized she had punched him "You didn't pass out, I'm impressed, it will make torturing you that more interesting".

Naruto's body was trembling with fear, he knew that this girl was with the Marines somehow, that she was after Robin 'I-I have to protect her!' Naruto thought with his new found determination pushed back his fear. Pulling his strength together he jumps back away from the girl and threw a smoke ball down, as the cloud of smoke envelop them Naruto made some handsigns "Kage no Bunshin no Jutsu!" his voice heard by the girl, then jumping out of the smoke was over a hundred clones, as they charged as her, they saw something in her eyes, curiosity or was it interest? It didn't matter as the first clone throw his punch, it almost seemed like it passed right through her, but Naruto knew she was moving a speed that reminded him of Mito Gaia, she punched the clone with incredible speed, then kicked the nearest clone to her, she was moving so fast he couldn't tell how many clones were getting knocked around, until them memories of her fist and foot slamming into them, came into his head, me made more, even though he knew he wouldn't be able to win this way, but his plan had already succeeded.

A little bit earlier…

Naruto's clone was still holding Robin as she began to awoke, she rubbed her eyes as she let out a yawn "Morning sleepy head" the clone said, Robin smiled as she looked up at him "boss went out to get some food and left me here to watch you, did you have a good sleep?"

"Yea it was great" she said as they both raised up, Robin yawned again as she stretched her arms "I had a wonderful dream".

"What was it about?"

Robin blushed as she looked away slightly "I-I don't remember" she lied, even though they only have been together for a few days, Robin really began to like Naruto, at first she thought it was just the fact that she could relate to him or she was interested in what he knew about his world, but she knew it wasn't. Something in her heart told her it was more than that, she could actually trust Naruto and knew he would always be there for him, he wouldn't lie to her or abandon her, she was falling in love with him, If she didn't believe it at first, her dream of them showed her feelings. They were married and living together in the library like in Ohara, Naruto would tend to the books, while Robin would be sitting by the fire reading to their daughter, before Naruto came over and hugged them both, then giving her a kiss, Robin's blush brighten as she recalled the dream, her heart was racing, trying not to look the confused Naruto in his eyes.

"Hey are you al…" the clone stops before gasping, his eyes widening, Robin heard him and saw the look of pure terror on his face, then his expression turned serious but still fearful "Robin you need to leave".

"What?" Robin asked confused as to what was going on.

"You need to leave right now!" Naruto shouted causing her to flinch "Boss is fighting a really strong girl outside, we've never seen anyone like this, she is super strong and she after you, boss will buy you enough time to get to the shore and then get as far away from here as possible".

"NO!" Robin shouted, Naruto flinched seeing the tears running down as she lowered her head "I won't leave you, you're the first person to actually care about me since I've been by myself, I lost my mother, my friends, Sally, I…" she raised her head her eyes completely drowned in tears "I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU TOO, I WANT US TO STAY TOGETHER!"

Naruto knew this was really hurting Robin, the original Naruto would want to stay with her too, but would also want to keep her safe, I "I…I know you don't want to be alone" Naruto said as he cups her cheeks and wiped her tears "which is why I promise you, that after this, I will find you…" Naruto smiled at her and hugged her, causing her eyes to widen "and when I do, I will make you another promise, that we will never be apart again, and I never break my promises, Dattabayo!"

Robin wanted to protest, she wanted to scream, run out and find the real Naruto, but Naruto was hurting as much as she was, she knew it would only hurt him more if she got captured or killed, it hurt her heart to be separated from him, but the thought of them being reunited soon, slowly mended that it. "O…ok" Robin reluctantly said as she hugged him back, not wanting to let go, but she knew she had too, she lifted up and wiped her still crying eyes "I'll go, just…just please come back to me soon Naruto?"

"I will, now hurry" Naruto urged, Robin stood up and ran through the door that went to the shore, Naruto continued to smile as he watched her run without looking back, trying her hardest not to turn back, and he not to run after her, when he couldn't hear her footsteps anymore, his smile drop and he sighed 'I really hope boss can…' the clone thought as he balled his fist 'no we will keep our promise, because we never go back on our word, that's our nindo…' the clone then dispelled itself.

Back with the fight…

'My ninja way' the real Naruto thought as the clone's memories came to him, with his newfound determination, he felt stronger and more confident, he saw a four more of his clones get dispelled and he made more twenty more 'I have to win this fight or at least get away, Robin is waiting for me!'.

The black haired girl saw another army of one coming her way "Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)" he heard her say, she raised her leg and before Naruto could blink, it blurred in the air and the next thing he knew was that everything in front of her was being cut in half, his clones, the trees, if it wasn't for his instincts screaming warnings at him, he would be dead, he jumps as the whatever it was almost hit him, but it did cut the side of his leg.

Naruto winched in pain as he fell to his knees, his leg was bleeding and was hard to move it 'Damn it, what was that, it felt like the wind, but also like a blade' Naruto thought as he barely stood up "doesn't matter, I've bought enough time, I need to—' Naruto couldn't finish his thoughts as he felt a great pain in his chest. Naruto looked down and saw the girls finger piercing his chest, as she jerked it out, the full awareness of the finger sized hole in his chest, made him gasp in pain as he fell back to his knees with his hand over his chest, it hurt worse than anything he could imagine, he felt Nene's chakra begin to heal him, but he felt like he was on the verge of passing out.

"Don't fade on me yet" the girl said in a cold and uncaring tone as her eyes narrowed "my Shigan (Finger Pistol) missed any of your vitals, headquarters wants you alive to study you, I don't see why, you're just a useless male, you have no real purpose". Naruto looked up and glared at her as a hard as he could at her, but it didn't affect her in the least "I do like that spirit of yours, it will make torturing you all the fun". She the sniff the air, it kind of reminded him of the Inuzuka clan back home "your sent is similar to that of the forest, but the is also a faint sent of sea water" Naruto's eyes widen from what she just said, she could tell he had been to the shore, the look in her eyes told him what she was thinking, her words confirmed what he hoped was wrong "Maybe the place you've been hiding out allows you to go to the sea. I'll search there for the demon child, the others will come for you" the girl began to walk passed him, Naruto reached out to stop her, but she steps on his hand, he gritted his teeth as the pain of her heal grinding into his hand raced up his hand "you know I can break every bone in your body, but I will leave you, to feel the pain of the truth, that your little plan to stall for time failed, that you couldn't defeat me, and that you couldn't stop me from killing the demon child".

Naruto's tremble as he watched her begin to walk away, Naruto's heart and mind were racing, time was practically standing still for him, anger, sorrow, regret, all swelled up inside him, the thought Robin being killed by that…that monster, all because of lies and the actions of foolish people, because…he couldn't protect her. 'no…' Naruto's fingers dug into the ground as he slowly stood up 'I made her a promise…' Naruto's eyes turned red with slit pupils, his hair and whisker marks became more canine with his nails becoming claw like 'that we would meet again, that we would never be apart…' the girl stop and turned around, her eyes narrowed with shock in them as she saw him getting up 'she's suffered so much, she lost everything and everyone precious to her. I won't let her suffer anymore…' streams of red chakra flared out of Naruto's body, the girl shock was visible in her widen eyes, Naruto vanished in a blur and reappeared right in front of her 'SHE WILL NEVER LOSE ME AND I WILL NEVER LOSE HER!'.

The girl was complete caught off guard as Naruto's fist slammed into her face, sending her crashing through a tree, she quickly got up and rushed at, she delivered a punch to his gut, Naruto was stunned but quickly recovered, he let out a roar that unleashed a powerful shockwave, the girl was sent flying backwards as the ground beneath her rose up as well. Naruto made some handsigns and inhaled "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)" Naruto spat out a massive fireball in that direction, he watched as it engulfed the trees and hopefully her, but he was disappointed when he saw a figure walking through the flames, once out there she was, her shirt was the only thing on fire. Her calm, cold eyes had changed, they now held a blood lusting crazed look, she had a grin that told him she was enjoying this, the challenge from a good fight, she was like a starving predator that relished the taste of a worthy prey, but Naruto was no one's prey, he was ending this right now.

The girl's grin grew, she rips off her burning shirt showing her upper body and that her chest was covered in bandages, Naruto charged at her, but she just stood there as he brought his fist back ready to punch her "Tekkai (Iron Body)" she said as Naruto's hand connected with her head, a cracking sound was heard, but Naruto winched in pain as it wasn't her head, it was his hand, he felt like he had smashed it into solid steel. The girl went to punch him and Naruto block it with his leg, but regretted it as he felt her still using the Tekkai and the sound of his leg shattering, Naruto jump back letting his injuries heal, the girl was about to follow, but stop when she felt something, blood trickled down her head from where he had punched her, his attack did at least a little damage, though it seemed as her eyes grew more crazy with bloodlust, her body began to pulse and tremble. She brought her leg up and Naruto knew what she was going to do "Rankyaku" her leg blurred as the air blade was launched from it, but Naruto knew what it was, he swung his arm and used a shockwave to counter it, the collision caused a crater to form between them "Soru (Shave)" Naruto glanced over where she was and saw she had vanished. In an instant there she was right in front of him her sick smile causing him to flinch "Shigan: Five" Naruto felt a familiar pain, but intensified as she dug all five of her fingers into his gut, the pain was so unbearable, he was about to pass out, but his will to keep his promise moved his body, he sank his fangs into her shoulder, she winched a slightly, but it barely seemed to faze. Naruto sensed something bad coming, he jerk back and put the last of his strength in his fist, he pulled back and went to punch her with one massive shockwave, but as he threw his fist, the girl raised hers and the two unintentionally connected "Rokuogan (Six King Gun)" whatever she did created a shockwave as well, the two attacks exploded the area and created a massive crater, the two inhumanly strong teenagers were sent flying in opposite directions, crashing into and being buried under trees, from above it looked like a bomb had cause a massive explosion.

Naruto tried to get up, to stay conscious, but his body was running on empty and he was too badly injured 'No…I have to get up…" Naruto could barely thing as his vision began to fail 'I have too…I need to…' the last thing he saw was a bird flying above him as he fell unconscious.

Ro..bin…

Robin gasp she lifted up her head, she had made it to the shore and found a small abandon ship she could ride in, she stood up as she swore she heard Naruto call her name, she clutched her hand tightly to her chest 'We will meet again soon Naruto' she thought as she looked towards the island, a single tear falling from her eye 'you promised we would right?'

Sometime later…

A bunch of Marines had arrived at the entrance of the forest, leading them was a tall woman with black eyes and hair that was combed at the top and flowing in the back, the she was wearing a black suit with a peach hued shirt underneath, and a striped coat over it. They all were about to enter the forest, until they saw the black haired girl coming out of the forest carrying an unconscious Naruto, the coat wearing woman seemed surprised, but not that she had him, but at the injuries she had, her shoulder was bleeding as well as her head, she kept flexing her left hand as if it was in pain. "Lucca!" the woman shouted as she ran up to her and looked angry at the sight "What in the world happen here!?"

"I searched for Nico Robin and the other one from the report Spandina-sama" Lucca said with a calm tone, but the woman now identified as Spandina, raised an eyebrow as she felt something different in her voice " Nico Robin escaped as I confronted the other one, reports were correct he is male and he does have powers, but not just the power to control wind, he can create copies of himself, shot fire, change his appearance and recover like a Zoran user, and he can create a shockwave equal to the power of my one handed Rokuogan. His strength is close to that of mine while holding back, if he is indeed a Nōryoku-shas, then he is capable of using multiple abilities, but something tells me he is not".

"Damn it you were supposed to capture them both!" Spandina shouted as she stamps her foot, but Lucca was unfazed by her tantrum, Spandina rubbed her temples before smirking "No matter" she bent down and looked at Naruto "If what you say is true, then this boy will prove more useful than we originally thought" she then lifted up his face "he is quite the handsome fell, give him a few years and he could create a new generation of powerful soldiers". Spandina snap her fingers and one of the Marines came over and carried Naruto, Spandina was till smirking, until she saw Lucca licking her bloody fingers "Lucca has your bloodlust spiked again?"

"It was, but I'm in control now" Lucca said before licking her fingers again "his blood is just tasty, I look forward to fighting him again" Spandina gave a slight look of disgust, before Lucca glanced up at him "by the way there is another power that boy possesses that I think you will be interested in".
