1. Chapter 1

Konoha village is one of the 5 great ninja village that exist in the world and today was a day to be celebrated, for it was the day that mark the end of a horror known as kyuubi attack 5 years ago. The beast who appears suddenly in the village proceed to rampage and attack the citizen before it was subdued by the 4th Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Nonetheless the rampage of the beast have cause devastating damage to the village and took countless lives which indirectly severely lower the village overall strength as well creating countless trauma in lives of the victims. This trauma without an outlet to release itself serve to become an inescapable chain on the victim forcing them to relieve the day that day lose something important to them, be it family or their friends. This later developed into a pure hatred ready to be unleash towards a single life known to serve as the container of the very beast that deny the victims of their families and friends. A container that was special to the saviour himself who left leaving all his hope and have no choice but to hope for the best for his legacy.

However, thanks to the 3rd Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen who took it upon himself to shoulder the burden of managing the village once again, the village was able to escape from the threat of war. The wise leader also implement a forceful albeit kind rule where any mention of the beast whereabouts by anyone who know to be strictly faced with a harsh punishment. However this does not means that the overwhelming hatred can be subdued. It only serve as a temporary limiter and prevention in hindering the situation from becoming uncontrollable. Due to this, some the ninja that directly participate in the battle to subdue the beast was well aware of what exactly have transpired on that day.

Despite knowing the real mechanism, human mind was usually helpless against the overwhelming drive from their emotion and lack of information. This is well known by the leader operative of the organization known as ROOT. A secret organization that was disband by the Hokage but nonetheless was continued due to his hunger for dominion and uncontrollable desire to shape the village to what he see as the most ideal and correct way the village should be. True, Danzo Shimura was a hard man to satisfy, and knowing the meaning of the action of his previous teammate in suppressing the information behind the beast container he however share no sense of pity nor respect toward the 4th sacrifice, and instead shown disdain and sneer at such action. For him, the container of the beast was worth more as a weapon for the village instead of as a simple ninja. With this in mind, he aim to destroy any bit a resemblance of normal life that the 3rd hokage wish for the young life and to do it he disseminate news that the container was in fact the demon rendered human form in order to make it more controllable by making it weaker.

This news was immediately taken by the ninja and citizen alike. Even for the ninja who're more well versed in the technique of sealing and the term of jinchuuriki (Power of human sacrifice), choose to neglect this knowledge's of their in favour of satisfying their anger towards the very demon beast that destroy their lives. Time after time, the little baby grow into a child, however the anger of the victims become more intense and the very sight of the child make them filled with hate enough to kill and that is the cause for the situation that the child was currently in.

"You bastard what did you do that for"

"Leave now. Your presence here will drive my customer away".

"What. Say that again. I didn't do anything wrong. I was just looking around".

Clearly the man was not amused by the child little rebellion. He look around the place where the child was looking before and identify the object that serve as the child fascination. He sneer. "how befitting. The demon seek to regain its identity" he though. For the object was a fox mask replicate after the mask usually wore by the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad or Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (ANBU). The man immediately tear the mask from its place and throw it at a child. The hatred in his eyes apparent.

"Here. You want this thing right. Take it and leave".

"Wha…. Who say I want it like that. I can pay you. You think I'm penniless and treat me like a beggar you bastard". The boy look defiantly. His eyes mixed with sadness and anger thus creating a complicated stare at the man.

Nonetheless, seeing this, the man was more angry than ever. "Just take the damn thing you bad plague and leave. We don't not welcome you here".

"Why you…". The boy pick up the mask for the sake of throwing it back at the man in front of him that. However his tiny hand stumped after watching the man stare. It was the same stare given to him by many of the villagers since the time he remember how he begun to be aware of his surroundings. Even at the orphanage, the matron was giving him a different stare unlike the gentle and compassion one she gave to the other childrens.

"Why? Why? Why did you look at me like that? Why did all of you look at me like that? What did I do wrong? Stop looking at me with that stare". Scream the boy while picking up himself and started to run from the venue. Tears threatening to come out from him.

Away from the place, above a roof stood a woman in blue. Her eyes shows overwhelming emotion after watching the child. A small smile form at her mouth and she utter "Finally I found you, blessed child of destiny".

"Are you sure. He seem like one of the brats that filled this place"

"Yes myself. However I must concur that your statement does create a need to ponder about the child identity"

"I think that being referred as the demon child immediately narrowed our target my lady. However to think there would insult a child who probably have met no more than 5 springs is repulsive to me".

"I agree. Children are something provided to humans to be nurtured and loved. No as a thing to be scorned on"

"HAH. If he hate that much then he should be strong enough to silence them. When I was at that age, I was already strong enough to beat the dog attack me at old man house. Hell I kill them. Though I do feel sorry bout' that. Hehehehe…good time, good time".

"Would you stop it you brute. Truly unthinkable. How could you say that for the lady to hear. Although I can say much considering it was a dog I was addressing".

"Want to say that again paint face".

"Hooo. Did I touch a nerve? I am not aware a savage dog can be infuriate by mortal words. Praise yourself for you have transcend your species" the voice praise albeit laced with sarcasm.

"THAT'S IT. YOU'RE DEAD".

"ENOUGH" suddenly the woman in blue say in her mind.

"Forgive me"

"Tch, Sorry bout' that".

"For goodness sake, I guest only me in this world who will have the pleasantries of stopping the fight between myself in my mind. She let out a small sigh, then suddenly as if she think of something she smile. "Well I guest It was not only me. There is still him who have this problem too. She continue smiling as if she have remember a fond memories special to her alone.

"Forgive me for interrupting my lady. But I suggest we better hurry".

The woman was taken aback. Her face slowly showing annoyance, "Surely we can take our time my dear. I believe the child will not go far".

"That might be true my lady, but the child might not be around for much longer if we continue to linger around".

"What do you mean…" the woman stop her questions after she look into the road. A group of people walking by. Their eyes closed on the retreating body of the child. Upon closer look it was filled with malice. It was clear they harbour no good will towards the small boy.

"Oh dear. I guess we can't take a break can we. No matter, best to handle this as fast as possible I guess".

"Hehehe. Can I kill all of those people then. Then they can accompany me"

"I prefer not to my dear. After all killing the people in this realm might lead to something unpleasant to us".

"Hee Ho. The I guest I will freeze them then. Hehe".

"We shall see when it come to it. Now then lets go". Without wasting more time, the woman left the roof. She had to hurry for the sake of her purpose.

Away from the commotion, the child escape into the jungle nearby the village. There he released the tears that he hold. Apparently unable to hold it anymore. Through his time here, he start to notice that if he shed his tear in public he would receive no consolation, embraces nor gentle touch like any other children. In opposite he will receive more scorn and insults from his surroundings. For the early years of his life, this baffle him as to why he was treated like this. His belongings was destroyed every day without stops. He once caught sight of the children who do it and was angered. When confronting them, instead of an apologize he receive more scorn and physical attacks which he quickly return. This immediately turn into a fight. However only he was reprimand while the other party was let go after being bandages. He meanwhile was denied dinner and was sent into solitary confinement after was treated.

He also was denied close contact with the matron or any of the caretaker at the orphanage. Although there was one time where he think he felt something resembling love. "I'm someone who are indebted to your parents" is all the person said. It was the first time he met with such gentleness and it was something foreign to him. Although at first feeling baffle and awkward on how to handle such emotion, he later finds himself liking it. No, he crave it, desire it and desperate for more time to fully savour it. Nonetheless it was not allowed as the person after going into a mission, never return. He remember he cry a lot that night. Feeling a strong sense of loss and grief to the person absence and although still a child he somehow know that the person won't return anymore.

He stare blankly at the sky and notice that it was filled with a mixture of red and orange with signalling the end of the day and approaching of the night. Slowly he sit up and pat off all the dust from his attire.

"Look at the time. I should go back before that old hag make another racket"

As the boy prepare to return to his village, he feel sudden pain in his cheeks. Slowly he look touch the area of the pain and feel something damp. After retracting his hand he witness a red liquid. "Strange, what is this?" That was the first though that barge into his mind. When suddenly he saw a barrage of weapon thrown at him. Being a child of the ninja village, he quickly recognize the weapon as kunai, a weapon usually used by ninjas. Panic and fear quickly approach him, and without wasting time he immediately dashed away from that place.

"Wha….What is this? Am I being attack? Are there breach in our village protection? How many enemy are they? When did they come? Who are they?" Multitude of question attack his mind, demanding answers. Suddenly he felt an overwhelming pain coming from all over his body. He look at the area that cause him pain and see the multiple kunai, stabbing into his body.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. IT HURTS. HELP ME. SOMEONE" clearly such intense pain was a first to him. Although he was wounded in daily basis none of them was on this level.

"It's useless demon. No one was here at this time of the day"

Taking a deep breath, he try to muster all his strength in looking at the direction of his assailant. Then like a strong hammer pummelling into his heart he saw that instead of an enemy force, a knoha head protector which means that his attacker had been ninja from his village. Their face morph into an expression mixed of wrath and ecstatic. It create quite a scary contradiction to continue looking.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA. FINALLY. FINALLY MY WISH WILL BE MET TODAY. OH, RAKI ….. HIME…TODAY PAPA WILL END THE LIFE OF THE DEMON THAT TOOK YOURS THAT DAY" the man spoke while showing an expression of euphoria. He look at the boy like a hunter would towards their prey.

The boy start to sob. He feel so betrayed and shocked at being attacked by his own village ninjas. Looking at the ninjas that was laughing together while making their move towards him, he close his eyes. His death will come for he no longer had the strength to stand up and continue running. Maybe he will meet with his parents and that nice woman again if he die now. Slowly he close his eyes, willingly accepting his death today hoping for a better life if possible on his next one if it even possible…..….NOT.

He refuse to die. Why must he be the one to die. He refuse to give his attacker the satisfaction of reaping his live when all he taste up until now is pain, pain and more pain. He still hasn't know the meaning of his life yet and dying here right now mean that he won't able to know it ever. Gathering all the remaining energy left in his body he stand up only to fall back into the nearby tree due to lack of strength. The pain instantly flow throughout his body.

"Oho. Look the demon resist".

"As expected of that wretched beast. Even all those damage is ineffective against him"

"Lets not waste anytime anymore. Aim for his neck lets take the head of the demon and be done with it. Not even that demon can regenerate if his head is cut off"

The boy stare at them. "What demon. Are they talking about me?" . Gathering the all that he have, he ask them. "I'm not a demon"

"HA. Don't think you can deceive us Kyuubi. Even if you are seal and appear in a form of a child, we know your identity already"

"Kyuubi, Wh…What is that?"

"Hmph its useless to deny it. This is for my family" the man rush towards him unleashing his blade aiming at his throat. It seem he no longer interested in talking.

The boy dodge to the site avoiding the critical attack that was meant for his life, but nonetheless the attack hit his abdomen and inflicted more wound on his body which start to take his consciousness away due to the pain.

"Stubborn thing. Just die already"

Seeing that their comrade attack miss the child the rest of the ninja start rushed to the boy in order to make sure that there're no escape for him this time. Slowly the child close his eyes. He was unwilling to die here without knowing anything. Why must he be scorned for something he didn't do and be killed for it. However he also aware that he was too weak to deny this cruelty that was inflected on him. "How Unfair" he slowly though before closing his eyes fully.

"Excuse me. But may I ask what are you doing?"

Suddenly a very beautiful voice reverberate in the air. The boy open his eyes to look for the owner of the voice and he was quite shocked. She was a very beautiful woman. Wearing almost all in blue, she has a silver pure white hair. Although it was cut in short, it cannot conceal the feminine beauty that she have. Her eyes is yellow which he finds quite odd but at the same time he cannot but admit that he finds it beautiful. She was a woman that could be categorized as perfect.

"What the….Izumi I though there're no one here"

"Don't say my name you idiot, and I'm sure there no one here. I already check before the attack"

"So what. Did she escape your detection. You who're the one of the best sensor Konoha have"

"Excuse me. It was very rude of you to disregard me while I'm asking. Allow me to ask again, may I ask what are you doing specifically on that child.

"Damn it. We can have witnesses. Koji kill her"

"What. But. But. She was not involve in this. We can't just kill her"

"You idiot, You think she going to keep quite if we let her go. When she tell Hokage-sama, we won't escape alive.

The ninja look at her with remorse. Feeling sorry for what he would have to do. "Forgive me" he say while dashing forward to the woman in blue.

"Run away" the boy let out. He was unwilling to see someone die for his sake. But he was shocked to see that the woman look at him and smile. She look at him with a tender eyes that he never seen before in others eyes except with the old gramps that frequently visited him. The woman suddenly move and deflect the thrust that ninja known as Koji gave and suddenly provide a punch that simply blow the poor man away almost comically when it break the tree he landed.

Silent echoed in the forest. It was almost impossible to believe that a woman of her stature could deliver such destructive attack.

"Tch. You're a ninja.".

"I'm afraid I'm not. I'm just a simple assistance.

"LIAR. Miura, Saki, Takuya, Hisana, Orito with me now" the man scream while dashed at her.

" Oh my. Such a passionate man you're. But forgive me. My heart already belong to another. As such allow me to decline your advance" The woman smile while saying.

If the man was anger, he was good at hiding it. Taking out his Kunai he throw it at the woman with a speed so fast it hard to see with naked eyes. However the woman merely take a minimal movement to dodge each attacks. It was as if she can see each strike at her. Taking the advantage where the man was shocked at her action the woman suddenly disappear and appear infront of the man. She punch his face and followed with a kick to his stomach. Her attack immediately incapacitate the man who then loss his consciousness.

"What the…. When did she".

"I must admit. The fighting level of the people in this plane is very impressive. I actually require to use quite some of my strength in that attack". The woman lift the man she incapacitate and proceed to throw him in nearby tree. She then return her attention to the group and with a playful smile she once again disappear.

"Orito. Watch out". One of the ninja's warned. Regardless it was too late as the woman release a form of electrical attack on him. He immediately jump to dodge the attack.

"Okay. Now I guess I'm amazed. You detect that quite quickly"

"Attack her" scream Orito. The remaining ninja take out their kunai and throw it at the woman similar to how they attack the boy previously.

"Oh dear. I guess I'm in need of a reinforcement". The woman held up her hands in the air and suddenly a book ws summoned. From the book a blue card flown out and suddenly a small ice manifest in the air. No it was not an ice but something indescribable. It looks quite cute on quick glance however for the experienced ninja here, they know that the thing must be quite powerful. All summons are in their worlds.

"Hee Ho. I came".

"Wonderful Jack Frost. Now please be a dear and assist me please".

"Okaaay. Heeeee Hooo" Suddenly a freezing air surround the thrown kunai encasing all of them in a block of ice. Taking the time when all the ninja was in shocked, the entity known as Jack Frost appear above them "Mabufu". The ice attack was cold and immediately encase all of them. Well all but one.

One of the female ninja who realise what the small floating blue thing was about to do immediately jumped out thus saving herself from the attacks. However she was quite battered. Nonetheless the shine in her eyes grow brighter and her face morph into an uncontrollable fury. Seeing the frozen state of her comrades, she become more determined to kill her opponent and save them.

"How dare you" the woman jump back and perform a series of hand movement and utter "Wind Release : Great Breakthrough"

"Oh my, such a wild wind you conjured. However, it's a bit inappropriate for a young lady to use such technique. It was unbecoming to a lady to expand her cheeks that much. It will make any gentlemen avoid her" Dodging the attack with minimum effort the woman continue to smile while playfully exchange her banter with the young kunoichi.

"Why You. Don't be so overconfident. I'm Hisane, a chuunin of Konoha. I'm not one that you can underestimate. Wind Release: Air Bullet". Hisane scream while launching her next attacks. Her cheeks red for unknown reasons.

"Why do you look so mad. I'm merely providing an appropriate advice on how to improve your image in the eyes of nearby gentlemen. How saddening that you would return it with such violent actions instead of a word of gratitude"

"YOU. YOU. SHUT UP" Hisane immediately gather her energy and release her next attack "Wind Release" Great Breakthrough" her attack this time since to possessed an attack several times stronger than before.

"Oh dear. I'm afraid I have no room to dodge this time. Hmmm. No matter I shall accept this attack with one of my own" the woman stood her ground and then summon brown books again out of nowhere. She let out a small smile. "Surt, Maragidyne" A strong presence emerge above her. It was surround with fire and its presence magnificent. It's like its presence is an abnormal in this world yet its strength can be denied. It wave his hands and suddenly a powerful fire emerge and swallow the great wind that was coming to it. Immediately the whole place was burned down. Hisane and Izumi that was in vicinity was blown away throw far away from the attacks.

" Dear me. Surt, that attack was a bit too much. I'm afraid the village have notice and on their way now". The girl was smiling lightly while patting the colossal giant in fire. The giant meanwhile rub his head looking bashful. The boy notice that he was relatively unharmed by the fire and notice that there are something small flying close to him. It was something that look like a mixture of a human and a bug. It look livid for some reason.

"Oh for igor sake why couldn't you control your power. Although Surt was suitable in the situation, you should not unleash such devastating spell. A mere agi would suffice I think" the small existence started to scream at the woman.

"Hee Ho. I agree. I almost die I that attack. I don't raise my ice in time, not only me this peoples here might die too. It was too scary Hee Ho".

"My apologise, It seem I was quite excited to be in a battle after a few years rusting away. In the midst of my adrenaline-filled condition I have forget to go….. what is the word that he use. Oh yes. Go easy on them, I afraid".

"Are you without remorse" you almost burn down this whole forest. Without my spell protecting it, this whole place will go down" the tiny existence shouted, apparently go more agitated with the calm response that the woman provided despite the crime she have done.

"Hmmm. If you put it like that. I guest it was quite inconsiderate of me to ask surt to use maragidyne" the woman show quite a remorseful expression improving the small existence spirit. But her next work quickly crush it "However it was an unavoidable thing to do. I believe that incapacitating my current enemies to save that child take priority regardless of the outcome" she smilingly replied.

"Hee Ho. What a scary woman".

"YOU CLUMP DEVOID OF COMMON SENSE" the small existence scream while flying in agitation. After some time it seem to have reclaim its calmness. "Well no matter. I guess what have be done cannot be taken back"

"Exactly Pixie"

"Huh. Well then. I guess I better go heal those two ninja's that you blown away in you early attacks" The small existence fly away to the direction where Hisane and Izumi was thrown away.

"Wait pixie, the child?"

"Do not worry my jolly yet infuriating self. I already heal him. Although I think it was quite unnecessary"

The woman seen to be quite disturbed by the little existence word "Elaborate".

"The child seem to have an ability of self healing. He was starting to heal himself when I'm arrive to heal him" the small existence spoke while proceeding to the location of the two ninjas.

The boy himself however was quite confuse. He was quite shock to hear the explanation from the small existence that he was able to heal himself. Why can he? Is this why he was called a demon. Anxiety crept again towards him. However it was all but disappear when he saw the woman touching his cheeks.

"Yes. It seem that you're indeed almost healed" the woman check his body to confirm.

"Yes. All wound gone. Hee Ho. Amazing".

The boy try to move his mouth. To express gratitude for helping him. Nonetheless, he was too weak to even perform that simple action. The woman smile while putting her hands on his forehead. "It's okay little one. I am accept your gratitude. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Elizabeth, a mere assistance. It was a pleasant meeting with you.

However suddenly her eyes turned dark. As if she was fighting against something in herself. The shine in her eye rapidly switch between pity and sadness before it turned into a strong gaze of determination.

"However, I afraid I must confess, I am but a woman with hidden agenda. Although it is true I save you to avoid you from meeting an early end, I also save you because there is something I need your help with". She avoid looking into the child eyes in her arms as she was afraid that he will scorn her for what she was about to do, and as she should as what she was about to do was something that even she thinks as something absolutely cruel and selfish. She was sacrificing and changing a possible happy life of the child in her hands for something that she desire.

The boy look at her confuse but Elizabeth pay no attention and continue. "I require your help to save the person important to me. I'm sorry but the choice of declining this task was not permitted for you". "You're allow to hate me, scorn me, curse me for this and I shall accept those for this task I give you originally have no concern nor weight for you at all, but alas I must burden you with this responsibility" She finish and then she held her hand in the boy chest.

The boy look at her, desperate to ask what she means. Although he was a child in a place where assassins, mercenary and soldiers with incredible power was located, he was nonetheless a child. It would be more sensible to provide a request to the village for something of the magnitude that someone of her power was unable to do instead of asking him, a child often scorned as a demon. Suddenly he felt an intense pain in his chest. It felt like countless blades was gnawing into his soul from many direction. The pain held for quite some time before it finally subside, making the boy expression gradually less tense. However it was still pale showing that he was not well.

"Forgive me. It must be very painful. Here this should make it better. Salvation." Elizabeth put her hand on the boy head and suddently a very warm and pleasing energy emerge and enter the boy, touching every place that he was hurt and gradually making the sense of pain go away. The boy was shocked by the power and wish to ask for more. But Elizabeth cut him to it.

"I love to have more time to speak with you. Once again, I am truly sorry for this blessed child. Truly I am. If I have another way I will, but you're the only one who held the potential to meet my objective". Elizabeth raise her hand and the brown book manifest once again, she utter something incomprehensible to the boy and then smile at him. Suddenly the boy consciousness rapidly left him with his last view was on her smile. Beautiful and gentle.

When the boy opened his eyes, he was at somewhere he did not recognize. His surroundings was filled with darkness and the atmosphere was gloomy. It was something frightening to him to be honest. Suddenly he notice a large gate in front of him. It was a majestic gate in gold colour and it look like it was able to hold even in the most fierce storm and withstand the corrosion of time. In the centre of the gate held a statue of a man, which make it quite bizarre.

"Wha…..What is this" the boy look at the statue in wonder.

"That my boy is an end to a selfless and courageous idiot, who sacrifice all he have to serve as a barrier to prevent the doom of mankind" a gentle voice suddenly enter the boy ear.

The boy immediately look around trying to identify the owner of the voice. However when he finds it, fear immediately attacks him. For the owner of the voice was not a human and its form was capable of invoking fear to the one who see it. The thing wore an almost animalistic mask or was it its true faces. Coloured almost all in black it provide a almost undetected presence in this dark surroundings, however what give the boy the most fear, was the coffins that was flying near the things. It make the boy feel as if he have died and now meeting with death itself.

"Hahaha. Fear not my boy. I assure you that, you're not dead in the slightest. In fact it was the opposite of that. You seem to be brimming with life" the thing replied, as if it notice the boy current concern. Its voice was so gentle that it was a huge contradiction with the look it have.

The boy fear seem to have reduce but not all of them. However perhaps due to the boy own sunny disposition, he quickly collected himself and stare at the thing in the eyes.

"Oh. I guest sorry about that. But man, you should be too if you see yourself. You're very scary" the boy replied, but it was clear that the early fear and unease he felt was not present now.

The thing stare at the boy for quite a few moment before letting out a loud laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. For a pipsqueak you sure are energetic huh kid" the mask thing replied. Although it was hard to know, its face was as if it was grinning.

"I'm not a pipsqueak, you coffin bringer. If you ask me you're more weird here bringing around those coffin".

"HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry kid this come with the outfit. Can't say much about them. Its nice to smash someone with it though.

"Ugh. You're not going to do that on me right sir?" the boy retreat showing an expression of fear.

"Pfftttt. Now you show me respects. What you one of the kids that the kid that make their teacher angry and run around trying to control them. The pranking type right?".

"Ugh. Uhmmm" the boy look around as if he was trying to avoid answering. Regardless his silent translate to confirmation to the mask thing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, Man that sure make my day. Thanks kid"

"Well, Glad for that then I guess" the boy cheeks expand, it was clear he was pouting for being treated as a kid.

"Pfttt, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You're funny kid". The masked thing stare at the boy. His gaze filled with curiosity. However suddenly the sight insight it eyes changed. It become colder and vicious.

Suddenly the mood change. "But that does lead to a questions what did you come here. Depending on your answer, YoU maY Not RetUrn AlIvE" the masked thing state with an eerie voice. It was as if the temperature have fall down to below zero. The gentle voice of the mask thing become scarier making the boy fall to his feet in his shocked and fear.

"Aghhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm so sorry. I don't know how I get here. I was almost killed. I was stab by many Kunai. The a blue lady come and safe me. The she say she need my help. And. And .and I don't know. Please don't kill me.

Suddenly the boy body shine immediately illumination the dark hall and shining through. It was then he saw. In the direct opposition of the gate lies a large, dual-faced monstrosity thing covered in shadow. He was not sure what it is, but it look scary and terrifying and it was thanks to the gate that it was not able to come and rip him apart. So he slowly look into the gate to confess his thanks when he suddenly look at the statue of the young man in front of him. The light gather around the statue and as if it was breaking something, the statue slowly disintegrated and slowly a form of a youth with blue hair emerge.

"Wha….What happen. Kid what did you do" the mask thing look around in agitation. It look around in the direction of the monstrous thing that was trying to get passed the gate. However what he met was the sight of the monstrous thing escape from that place as if the light is a poison to it. Its body seem to have shrunk smaller and it let out a loud screech.

"What is happening. What is this light" The mask thing ask in concern. However after a while, it seem to be able to gather to its thought and collected itself. He then look at the boy, his eyes demanding answers. Immediately he dashed and caught the boy in his neck and immediately brought it close to its face. "Kid I ask again what did you do?"

The boy was clearly shocked by the sudden movement, and look at the mask thing. Perhaps it was because of the confusion or something else, the stare he gave to the mask thing was not of fear but anger. "How should I know? I don't even know how I come here". The boy body still producing the very light that seem to cause this phenomenon. The mask thing look at the child seeming intrigue.

Suddenly they hear a sound of collapsing stone, and when they look at the direction of the sound both was stunt however, for the mask thing, it was more closer to horror.

"NO NO NO NO. Stop. You cannot collapse now. **#*$*, come on*^*$$*, wake up. The seal is breaking". The mask thing immediately put down the child and dashed towards the blue youth that emerge from the statue before. However, by the time he arrive to catch the blue hair youth, the gate have completely collapsed. Fear immediately come to the boy. Without the gate, the hideous shadowy thing will have no problem coming over and ripping him apart when it return. A sense of dread come over the boy. However such worries does not last long before he feel a tower shadow in front of him. He slowly look up and was met with the mask thing who was holding the blue hared youth.

"Kid. I don't know whether to kill you or thanks you. My buddy was just released from that seal so I guest I should thanks you for saving him but you also destroy the seal he use his soul as base for to stop the approaching Erebus to meet Nyx. Because you just destroy that seal that means there're no more seal that stopping the ending of mankind. So tell me kid what did you just did" the mask thing directed his attention on the boy.

However for the boy, all the thing mention only lead to more question for him. "Erebus, Nyx, Ending of Mankind and Seal. What is it talking about" The boy begun to get even more confuse. Thankfully it was not for long.

"Perhaps I can answer that questions" a regal and noble voice suddenly come.

Both the mask thing and the boy look at the voice owner. It was Elizabeth who emerge looking very pleased and staring at the blue hair youth who appear unconscious.

"Hello there. You're Thanatos…..no not really. Who're you".

The masked thing look at the new addition before answering, "I'm Thanatos but instead a piece of the death that have serve as Nyx avatar in the SEES final confrontation"

"D..D..Death" though the boy who currently appear to be shivering. However, the two ignored his current appearance.

"I see. You're the reel death that was sealed into **#*^"

"Yes. But for the sake of addressing me. Please call me Ryoji. Ryoji Mochizuki. I held quite some fond sentimentality on that name".

Elizabeth smile. "Very well. Then I shall addresss you as Ryoji Mochizuki then. Mr. Ryoji can I know why're you here. You who should be a personification of death and the avatar of Nyx, why would you be here in the same place as *#**!*".

"Easy. After my defeat a part of me linger in this place as a manifestation of nyx. I was destined to silently disappear when **$*!^ suddenly appear as the great seal to prevent erebus from coming in contact to nyx to bring the fall. At first the both of us only serve as two manifestation of power, destined to never have any interaction. But after a while, instead of growing weaker and disappearing I feel as if I was called to the gate. At first I was weird out by it but then I notice that my power steadily return and I start to get memories I don't before. The time at school, the school trip, my conversation with **#*$* at night warning him. All of them feel so real. And then before I realise I was apart of **^#*^ souls serving as Thanatos to him.

"I see. So you're not the ryoji that serve as nyx avatar, but a part of him that was left after the SEES battle on top of tartarus. And the reason you're alive in that form now is was due to you taking over Thanatos persona of **$*#*"

"Well instead of saying I take over its more to say I merge into it. To begin with Thanatos was the crystallisation of Minato and Pharos which is my imprison state in **^*#*. So it make sense that if **^#* try to save me, it can do that by combining me in his soul using Thanatos as the vessal" Ryoji concluded.

"Hmmmmm. Make Sense" Elizabeth agree.

"That apart. Can I ask what did you do Elizabeth. How can you just break **^#** seal to stop Erebus from meeting Nyx. Surely you know the impact of that" Ryoji opened but his pose was quickly changes into an aggressive one.

"Calm yourself. Indeed I am well aware of the impact of this action of mine. But make no mistake Ryoji. I do not destroy the seal with no preparation. This child" Elizabethe state while motioning toward the boy. "Contain the hope and desires from all the member of the SEES. It was their last wish and effort to free *^*#*! From his burden as his friends. From their hope and desire, My Master Igorr create a medium to conduct that act. The medium itself allow one to gather an energy made of pure light that consist of energy and store it to prevent Erebus from coming here. However, the energy that was used before was quite limited. It was not able to serve as the power to eliminate Erebus. Only to hinder its approach for some time. Base on the energy gather here it should last for quite some time but not forever. Base on my calculation it should last for 30-40 years".

"And tell me, Elizabeth where did you and the SEES obtain such energy to expel Erebus from coming here for that long".

"My you of little faith. It was not very attractive for a gentlemen to doubt a lady words, " Elizabeth smile showing a bewitching smile.

For a moment the mask on Ryoji temble slightly and something akin to a blush appear. However he quickly shake his head a few times. "Do not joke around Elizabeth. This is important"

"Of course. It was of course from the world"

"Excuse me"

"Hehehehe. It was not surprising you would be surprised. Who would think that all human kind are able to let go of their negative emotion that summon erebus. But the answer was simple. It was empathy. The SEES effort to reduce the negative emotion in the world was not realistic as it's impossible to make everyone throw away their hate, jealousy and other negative emotion. But they still pursue it. Although small at first, their effort and feelings was shared by many, and before long a community of people appear to follow them to reduce the grief and sadness of the people in the world and filled it with love.

For a moment the boy lowered his head. Love. Such a foreign feeling to him. One he have yet to have the honour of feeling it. But now is not the time for such thought. He immediately gather all of his concentration and continue looking at Elizabeth.

"All of those feeling and hope was gathered by my master and master philemon to create this medium. It possessed the all the collected hope and love that the humanity have today. As it was a crystallisation of positive side of humanity it serve as a fatal weapon against Erebus who is the manifestation of humanity's grief and negative emotion".

"I…I… see. But you should know that this was not enough. Even that stone was unable to stop Erebus. The best it could do was expelling Erebus for some time. It's not enough".

"Then I merely have to act as the seal again" suddenly a new voice emerge.

"What the" Ryoji look at the blue hair boy who previously sleeping in his arm. Even Elizabeth look startled. However the joy in both their eyes in undeniable.

"*^**$*" both of them address.

"Can you guys keep it down. I still feel weak".

"Hehehehe. Sorry Buddy, But man, I can't believe it. You're awake".

"**$*#*. I'm glad you have regain your consciousness. I was afraid you might take a long time to regain them".

"Thanks Elizabethe. Although I'm happy you went all this trouble to safe me. But It's OK actually. I already prepare myself to stop Erebus from approaching Nyx forever. So even if you bought me some time to rest from serving as the seal, it was not really necessary" the boy reply while showing a weak smile. However the gratitude and happiness in his eyes was apparent.

"No *$*#*!. Even I understand your determination when you die to serve this purpose. Neither of us are willing to belittle it by breaking the seal just to give some time to rest without not really knowing whether you can be the grand seal again after breaking it once. The medium I speak of not only serve to expel Erebus for some time but also have the power to completely eradicate it".

"What" Ryoji and *#*!*! replied. Even the boy show some excitement even though he lack the full information as to what Erebus and Nyx is. But he was not willing to stop this discussion as even he know that it was an important one that does not allow any disruption.

"Yes. Its true. This stone does have the power to stop and eliminate Erebus. However, unfortunately, the power of our world was quite limited to obtain the energy enough to destroy Erebus. Although most of the people have contribute a sufficient power to the stone, the energy that the current mankind itself have is not enough to fill the mankind with the energy it needs".

"Wait so even if we fill the stone with more positive energy its never enough to kill Erebus".

"Not necessary. As I said before It was not the stone capacity that was lacking but the human strength itself is not enough to perform the act. However, that is only on our plane.

"Our Plane. What do you mean Elizabeth".

"Yes *$*#*!. As you know the world as you know of is not the only one. There are many other world that still exist, each independent from each other's. However, during my time searching for a way of how to help you, I have found a way to travel to another plane albeit for temporary time. Some of this plane have a more powerful individual, which one could serve to ten or even hundred energy if they contribute their energy to the medium.

"That's awesome. You can travel to another plane?"

"Yes. Using this way I make it my goal to gather an extra energy we need to destroy Erebus completely from these planes. However there're two obstacles that prevent me more gathering the necessary energy. The first obstacle, it that I can't freely gather the energy from a different plane. It seem even if I try to gather them, the energy will simply dissipate after some time making inefficient to gather the amount of energy we need. Even the energy I use to expel Erebus before all comes from our original plane.

"So then it serve us no purpose as even though the other plane have better energy, we simply have no way to obtain them.

"Indeed. However after looking into the matter from different perspective, I have succeed in finding the solution"

The area was met with silent. Three pairs of eyes hold till at Elizabeth presence waiting for her to elaborate her solution to this.

"For the time obstacle, all we need is a vessel to house us in while we're gathering the necessary energy" Elizabeth explain while looking at the boy. Following her both the boy with blue hair and Ryoji once again directed their attention to the boy.

"M….Me. But Why me"

"Elizabeth. He is just a child"

"Yeah, the pipsqueak be squash if he do it". The boy once again showed an unpleased expression. Clearly irritated by Ryoji statement.

"And that is why he won't be alone. *!*##* will be with him in this".

"WHAT" both the blue hair boy and Ryoji shouted.

"Control your volume please. You seem the medium was actually made from the persona energy of the SEES member".

The blue haired youth seem to be quite disturbed by this revelation "But persona is the manifestation of our own soul. Is it safe to extract them to create the medium" the blue haired boy almost scream. His was starting to become agitated.

"Hahahahaha. Calm yourself *!**#*. Worry not. Persona is merely the is a manifestation of a Persona User's personality, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. The SEES member no longer need the mask as they decided to face the world with their true selves. Actually, that is also, why they can gather so many people who share their feeling. Truly human are such an intriguing creature" Elizabeth close, her lips form into a small smile.

And blessed child it's not a matter of why it's you but a matter that it can be anyone but you. You see in your body there are a few hold created due to a sealing ritual perform on you during your birth. It create several small hole where I can safely house transfer the medium inside you. Then I will combine the medium with *!*$*^ soul so he can directly manage the energy collection" Elizabeth explain with a solemn expression.

"Put the another person soul in me" the boy said in trepidation. Then he start to back away. "The what would happen to me".

"Nothing child. The medium is merely the remnant of the leftover mask once wore by a group of courageous boy and girl…..well and dog I guess. Now they're inactive just serving as the container to gather the energy needed to help *!*#*^ and destroy Erebus. And you have no need to fear *!*$*^. Your body is strong enough to retain control which make you the true master of that body. *^*#*! will only share and borrow your body when necessary. He however will not have the ability to control your body when you're conscious.

The boy seem to ponder for a while. He take quite some time and then let out a refreshing smile and directed it into the group of three stunning them with the bright smile. "Okay. I guess I can believe you". His reply make the standing Ryoji almost fall down.

"Wait you brat" Ryoji scream seem to almost lost all cordiality with the situation. How can You trust her that easily. She might be tricking you and destroy your consciousness so she can use you like a puppet to make the job easier".

Elizabeth pout. Clearly aggrieved by Ryoji accusation.

However what met his questions was the same bright smile. "I believe in You Guys". Those five words act like a chain that bind the three people. It make them realise. The child was foolish to an extent that he will endanger himself to help other people just because he want to believe the best of a humanity. He was a child filled with the spirit comradeship to a point that it can be seen as foolish. However perhaps all heroes with high charisma in ancient tale was someone like this. Someone who endure and help other people regardless of the harm and pain they inflicted on themselves.

"Ryoji sigh. "Man, you definitely the type to grow into a man that will be used by woman until he dry". The suddenly he look at the boy, his mask morph into one of a grin and with a playful voice he replied "But worry not kid, big brother Ryoji over here will look after ya. Hehe."

"What. I don't need you to take care of me. I can't take care of myself just fine" the boy puff but the his cheeks was slowly becoming red.

"Elizabeth smile, then she continue "Okay. Now that we finish the part of time, we will move on the energy part. As I explained before the energy that this medium can held is vast. But the energy of the human from our original plane is quite weak to thoroughly eliminate Erebus. However the same was not applicable to the people of your plane child. Your people can hold an energy so high that one person energy contribution can lead to 10 unit to 500 unit of our people. Based on my observation, I see this is cause by an energy not exist in my plane which is known as chakra. This energy known as chakra can change depend on the user nature. If the user are evil than it will become a negative energy and vice versa. So if you're able to reduce the number of people who would use their chakra for evil purpose and encourage increase in people who nurture positive energy in their chakra, the medium will absorb the excessive positive energy that was release into the air little by little until it was full then it should be possible to gather a magnitude of energy that can eradicate Erebus completely.

"Ummmmm. That's confusing. But In short, you just want me to beat all the bad guys and get all my friends to be the good guys, right?".

"Ummm yes. I believe such interpretation is also acceptable" Elizabeth reply while letting out a small sweat.

"I see. You have think this thoroughly Elizabeth".

"Yes **!*#*. With this we can eradicate Erebus and save you"

"But when we leave here, what would happen if Erebus come back"

"That would not happen. However for precaution sake I will stand here and guard this place while all of you are gathering energy".

"Will you be okay".

"Your concern are not necessary **!*##. I am a being who presides over power. Although I can't eradicate Erebus, I do have some ability to fight it into a standstill if it does return".

The boy with blue hair let out a small smile. But it was quite awkward and stiff. Perhaps because he was not familiar with the act. "Okay the lets do this" Ryoji scream apparently excited for some reason.

Elizabeth called the boy to come neared. Without hesitation the boy move closer preparing himself. The boy was asked to stand close to the blue hair boy. Elizabeth once again summon her books and a flurry of cards covered in blue light appear and surround them. "Wh…What are they" the boy asked apparently intrigue by the cards.

"This my child is my persona"

"You per…sona. What do they do".

"Perhaps later you will understands. They are quite difficult to understands if you do not possessed them. Similar to how the normal citizen in your village will unable to understands ninja ability to mold chakra".

"I see" the boy nod apparently accepting Elizabeth statement. Suddenly each of the card shattered and a many figure started to emerge from their pieces. They're different is size and aura. Somehow the boy understands that they each are unique and hold various power. Nonetheless the boy was intrigue.

"**!*#*. My persona and I will perform a ritual to input your soul inside this child using the hole left when a ritual known as Dead Demon Consuming Seal was used to this child's. As you're just a soul, you should have no problem reaching the medium. Concentrate to your friends on SEES calling, and the rest will be done by the medium. However, the hole was swiftly recovering, so this might be our last chance to safely combine you with the medium inside the boy. As such please cease all form of resistance and relax yourself in order to not interfere with my ritual".

The blue hair boy merely give a quick nod motioning Elizabeth to begin. Elizabeth raise her hand and the book she summon slowly ascends and opened up creating a strong barrier. The boy suddenly feel a pain he never have feel before and let out a loud scream. "I'm sorry. The pain should disappear soon, Sarasvati, High Pixie, Clotho, Atropos, Lachesis and Parvati please.

"Yes leave it to us" a multitude female voice enter the air but the pain already make the boy conscious to loosen. In the midst of his hazing consciousness he heard Elizabeth spoke.

"Please…be…ca..re…ful…*!*#*^…inside…this…child …..exis…..t…a..mon…st….er…ev…..en…moor…e…da…n….g…..e…..ro.u.s….t. …. ..bus"

After some time pass the boy awakened the land surroundings him was still bright which make the original darkenss that he see when he first appear was like a lie.

"I am pleased that you have regain you consciousness" Elizabeth greet him.

"Ugghhh. I feel like someone just stabbed multiple time"

"Yes I guess that is quite an accurate expression of the pain that you should feel. However my Persona should have already heal any damage that you might have sustain during the ritual".

"Yeah I actually feel kinda great. By the way where Ryoji and that guy".

"Oh you mean **!*#*. Ryoji have already return to him prior to the ritual and he has safely coexist inside the you right now merging with the medium inside you now Perhaps its better to say that the medium merge into him. However, now **!*#^ seem to be quite exhausted so you might not able to reach him for a moment".

"Okay that's it"

"Pardon"

"Why can't I hear the guy name. Does you guys use a secret code to make sure I don't know his name or something".

Elizabeth stare at the boy for a while and after taking a thinking pose she seem to be aware of something. "Oh my apologise. I think this is because *#*^*# have serves as the great seal for quite some time. So his existence is becoming quite remove from a human and becoming a concept of a seal instead. Due to this, his name become something hard to pronounce to the people who're not close to him. As both Ryoji and I was familiar with him during his life as human we known him as * *#*^ the human instead of *$*#*^ the great seal".

"So does that mean I can never know his true name".

"Oh. I don't think you have anything to be worried about then. Your soul and his already exist in one body thus you become some much closer to the very core of his human concept".

"Uhmmm. So does that mean yes or no".

"Huhu. A slow one you are aren't you" Elizabeth smile. "No need to worry. I believe all you need to do is ask him the next time he awake".

"Just that simple".

"Yes it's just that simple".

The boy touch his heart and close it. After some time he open his eyes and let out a huge grin "Okay. I'll be sure to do that".

Elizabeth smile "Make sure you do that. Now then I will transfer you back into your village. However I afraid that I you won't keep most of your memory here".

"What…Why"

"You're just to small to retain all the information that was currently put inside you. But worries not for in time as you grow stronger it will all come back to you".

"…..O….kay. It still suck though".

"Hehehehe. It's indeed is. Nonetheless it was for your own good. Now then prepare yourself I'm transferring you back".

"Will I see you again"

"Of course. Perhaps more than you might think of".

"Elizabeth thanks for sav…." The boy words remain unfinished as he was transfer out from the area.

Elizabeth watch the area the boy was previously in. "He was such a charming boy. I feel guilty for involving him in this".

"HAHAHAHA. Man the kid got some backbone I like him".

"Indeed. To immediately accept our plead for help without hesitation mark the calling of a true here. The child will grow strong no doubt".

"That's right, damnit. Well if he don't, I guess the me in *!*##* will whip him into shape".

"Or your teacher will. She was never for one who is lazy and cowardly"

"Oh….right. Poor bastard"

"Hehehehe" Elizabeth smile. "Good Luck Child. You need it"

Konoha Hospital.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not pleased. He receive reported of a report of a huge explosion in nearby forest and request a squad of ANBU to go investigated. What come out make him almost jump from his seat. The child of his successor and a group of Konoha ninja was found to be wounded there. A female kunoichi name Hisane was wounded although appear not from burn but due to taking a brunt explosion. It was a wonder how she was able to escape unscathed. To make it worse, one of the village best sensor Izumi, was also incapacitated, However his wound seem tame as he only receive a blunt attack on his face and stomach. Another ninja name Orito appears to burn from a ninjutsu probably one that involve lightning. Fortunately the burn seem not to be life threathening. The other ninjas meanwhile receive a treatment for frost. It seem that they were frozen by the time the ANBU squad appears.

This make Sarutobi more agitated. Ice based attack was not a normal ninjutsu but instead a power that come from molding two different element and such ability only belong to a ninja with a bloodline limit, one that didn't exist in Konoha. If this is true it means that konoha is currently under the attacks of a foreign force which make this an international problem.

Progress later come when the ninjas involve in the attack start to regain their consciousness. However after waking up, all of them show a blank expression. Any memory search done by the Yamanaka clan show that the victim lose all their memories regarding as to who that attacks them. Their memory were however show that they were trying to kill the child and almost succeed when they were stopped. Unfortunately their memory was gone until after they try to kill the child thus making the identity of the child saviour unknown.

In any case the evidence that they try to kill the child was present by the Yamanaka clan to Sarutobi. Although Sarutobi was angered to the point he wish to personally inflicted pain on the all of them, he also aware that such act may create a division and create a trust issue within his village. Not too mention all ninja and kunoichi are a scarce resource. With it in mind he ordered all the participant to be stripped of their position in the village and was thrown to far away border with strict supervision.

After settling the situation, Sarutobi was currently seating in front of the bed which house a boy who look around 5 years old, having a whisker mark on his cheeks and a blond hair who reminds the old leader very much of his successor. Gently he parted the bangs that was near the boy nose to prevent it from making the boy uncomfortable. Suddenly his focus was disturbed after hearing a single sound from the boy.

"Ughhh. Huh, Jii-san why're you here".

"Ho. Its nice to have you among the living again my boy"

"Don't make it sound like I'm dead".

"Well you did almost die my dear boy"

"Whhaaa. Ough my head"

"Wait. Don't move too roughly. I'll go call the doctor"

"So do you remember anything?"

"I don't. I remember I go to the jungle nearby the village to…to ….to practice yes."

If the Hokage notice the boy hesitation, he did not say anything. If the boy want him to help, the boy will come to him if not then the boy will keep silent. The small the boy was not spoiled contrary to most of the villagers thought.

"Then do you remember anything".

"Umm. No. I think I make a promise. A very important one. But I don't remember" suddenly pain come to the boy and he grit his teeth in an attempt to reduce the pain".

"That's enough. Don't think too much of. Just rest and you will remember everything in time. Don't force yourself".

"Okay Doctor"

"Okay then, last questions do you remember you are".

The boy look at the doctor and hokage for quite some times. His stare was so sharp that it make them quite uncomfortable. Then the boy let out a goofy smile "I'm Uzumaki Naruto. The man who will become a Hokage one day". He finish while grinning.

Both the Hokage and Doctor was stunted for a while before letting out a small chuckle.
