Chapter I: The Meeting

Naruto entered the classroom for the first time, his eyes scanning everyone momentarily. His father had told him he would most likely meet the heirs of all the clans in Konoha during his days in the academy, since he was born close to each and every one of them. He paid special attention to two beautiful girls, who were watching him as he looked the class over. One was a beautiful brunette. She had long hair, reaching past her shoulders, her eyes were onyx-colored; something he remembered his father saying was a common thing with the Uchiha Clan; she wore a red armor over a black skin tight shirt that covered up to her lower face, leaving only her eyes bare. He noticed she watched him as he checked her outfit, but paid it no mind, It was always good to take a possible opponent's possible weaknesses, like the fact that the armor she wore didn't protect her abdomen for some reason, or the fact that he could tell, thanks to his father's training that it wasn't chakra enhanced. He turned his attention from her, looking to the only other person in class to catch his attention, Hinata.

He knew her from years before, when Kumo had tried the now infamous kidnapping. Naruto had sought his father's help with her rescue, and due to his kekkei genkai, he had been able to extract information from the man without ever touching him. Not that he would ever just spill his father's secret; not quite as secret as he wanted, since the Hokage and his council knew about it; but he couldn't help but reminisce as he watched the Hyuuga heiress…

† Flashback †

He had just escaped another mob. He ran around the village for what had seemed like hours before he entered a building into which no one followed him. It had struck the young blond haired boy as odd, but he wasn't about to complain. Deciding there was the safest place for him at the moment, Naruto decided to explore.

The first thing he noticed was that someone obviously lived there. He could see a couch, a television and a further away, a kitchen. But at the same time the place looked completely deserted, and quite frankly, terrifying. He understood why people were afraid to enter, as just being there brought him an uneasy feeling to his stomach, like that time that one geezer tried touching him places. A groan made him turn around, coming face to face with something that could only have jumped out of his worst nightmare. It was his surrogate grandfather, the Hokage, but his eyes were blank, his skin was like he had been badly burnt all over, some places he could actually see the white of his bones. He was walking slowly, dragging his feet on the floor. Naruto took an instinctive step back whenever the thing took a step forward. Eventually he had been backed into a wall, whatever that was couldn't be real, he'd seen his jiji just that morning, he couldn't be dead. Naruto let out a scream as the thing's cold hands touched him, making it all far too real for his liking, and as it was about to take a bite out of him, everything disappeared, the dark room became lighted, the abandoned couch looked new, the television was on and he could smell something cooking.

"Who's there?" Came a gruff voice from deeper within the house, and Naruto took a moment to recompose himself. He felt that thing touching him; he actually felt the cold skin making contact with his own. And he didn't smell anything cooking before, what in the world was that? Naruto took a breath to focus, and remembering he'd been asked a question, he decided to answer before something happened again. "I-I'm N-N-Naruto, sir." He hated the weak tone of his own voice at that moment, but he could do little to remedy it, he had just seen the only person he cared about dead, and trying to kill him to boot. He noticed there was no immediate angry reply, no shouts of "Demon!" or any such thing, in fact the man stepped into his living room, looking at him a stern but not hateful gaze.

"So, you're him" Naruto's heart fell at this, it wouldn't be long now, the hateful words, the hurt…"you're the brat that somehow painted the whole ANBU's uniforms bright pink and got away with it, aren't you?" That question took the young prankster by surprise, and he just looked at the older man's face for a moment, his wide eyes staring as his amused mismatched ones. After a moment, despite himself, the blond boy grinned broadly "Yeah! My best work yet! Did you like it, jii-san?" The older man chuckled at him and nodded, saying it had been the funniest thing he'd seen in ages. Naruto's grin grew and he puffed out his chest proudly at that, but a moment later he looked around, kinda nervous again. "Uhm…jii-san, what was that thing I saw earlier? Is it safe to stay here?"

The man smiled at him, nodding at his second question. "That, kid, was an illusion. My bloodline lets me put anyone in illusions so real they're actually able to harm you, even kill you. I don't even need to be have eye contact with you for it to work…" the man didn't go into more detail, not that Naruto minded really. He was too busy admiring the awesomeness that was that bloodline limit, and the pranks he could pull with it to properly understand that type of things one could accomplish with it. "Anyway kid, what are you doing in my house?" Naruto could tell the man wasn't angry, he was actually curious as to what had led him into his house. That made Naruto remember why he had ran into that house in the first place, and the boy ran to the closest window, to see that there was no one there anymore. He allowed a moment to let the relief wash over him before he turned his attention once more to the older man.

"I…I was running from some nasty people, who wanted to hurt me." The man answered that with a humming sound, and took a glance outside himself before turning his attention once more to the blond. He seemed to be considering something as he watching Naruto, before he scratched his beard and shrugged, apparently reaching some sort of conclusion. "How old are you, kid?" Naruto took a moment to answer, wondering where this conversation was going "I'm eight. Why?" The man nodded, before he looked off to nowhere in particular, probably wondering something. "How about this, I'll train you so you can defend yourself, and in exchange you come here every day while I'm at work to clean the house for me. What do you say?" Naruto's eyes widened in awe…someone was actually willing to help him? "Yeah!" He said enthusiastically, not really thinking much about it.

A month into the arrangement he'd made with the older man, and Naruto wanted to strangle someone. Sure, he could feel the difference. People had actually started to leave him alone, well the civilians did anyway. He was strong enough to fend off any civilian attacker, but shinobi, at least stronger than a Genin would usually get the better of him. But that wasn't the problem, after three years of that he was used to being chased around by those idiots, no the real problem was his side of the bargain. He had no way of knowing Sevrian; he'd learned the man's name during their first lesson; worked overnight in his smithy and that meant he had to get up in ungodly hours to go clean the man's house. He was usually dead tired by the time lessons started, and that meant he didn't really pay as much attention to it as he should.

Naruto looked up as he heard someone crying for help, and saw a girl with long brown hair being held down by a large man, who seemed to be a shinobi by from his clothing. He didn't understand much of what was going on, but she sounded like she needed help, and he would be damned if he was going to be like those fuckers and let others have their way just because he couldn't be bothered to help. "Hey, asshole!" Naruto shouted, running toward the two. He noticed he was entering an alleyway with only one possible escape for a civilian; and by the look of things, that girl was a civilian; but the moment he got close enough the first thing on his mind as the taller male turned to him was Maybe that wasn't such a bright idea after all. He watched as the man grinned upon noticing just who had interrupted "Ah, so the demon wants to save this whore, huh?" Naruto snarled at the man, he really hated that nickname. He took a defensive stance, even though he knew he stood no chance, he wasn't about to let this fucker get his way just because he was afraid.

Naruto saw the man tense; a telltale sign they were about to act, according to his sensei; and braced for the beating that would follow. When nothing happened, and the man just stood there for a moment before he cried out and collapsed, dead, Naruto understood what happened. He watched as Sevrian came out of his shadow; probably leaving an illusion he'd placed on the whole freaking village, since no one noticed him; and stood beside him, looking at the girl. "So, you saw a different type of abuse then. Do you understand what was going to happen?" The man was still looking at the girl, who he made sure couldn't see him; he'd made her believe Naruto had been the one to kill her attacker; and waited a moment as the boy seemed to think on it, before he tilted his head to the side curiously. "He was going to beat her, right? That's what usually happens to me when they catch me."

Sevrian smiled, shaking his head negatively. "No kid…I think it's time we had a conversation I think you'll need sooner rather than later." And so he launched into a telling of the more carnal desires of humans, explaining in a way a child would understand, of course; birds and bees they called it; and as he came to a close on the explanation, Naruto had wide eyes, a deep blush on his cheeks and he was sputtering nonsense for some time. "So…so d-does that mean they were going to make love?" Naruto asked, not really understanding what was going to happen. In a way Sevrian understood his naivety, given the boy was usually so concerned with just living through the day he never grasped many other aspects of humans. "No kid, he was going to rape her" Naruto's eyes squinted in his curiosity "rape?" He asked, and the older man nodded, looking once more to the girl. "Rape is when a man forces a woman to have sex with him. They usually do it with the intent to break the woman's spirit…" he was never one to go on and on about the theory of things, especially because he had always had a problem expressing himself, so instead of launching into an explanation of what happened when a man raped a woman, he decided to show it. But before that, he took a quick glance at Naruto and said "you'll want to speak to her soon, she's still quite frightened, you know."

Naruto wanted to know more about what was going to happen to the girl, but Sevrian was right, he did neglect talking to her after the guy died. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked her, her big black eyes having not left him for some time, he just smiled. "Y-yeah" she was stuttering, which he could understand, given what was going to happen. He didn't completely understand it yet, but Sevrian made it sound like it was bad. "Don't worry, nothing's gonna happen to you while I'm around!" He shouted, a large grin forming on his face, causing his eyes to narrow. He puffed his chest proudly, hoping it would at least lessen the tension still in the air, and it worked, at least a little, as the girl smiled, and when she spoke again, there was no stutter. "Thanks. I was coming back home after doing some shopping for my father's restaurant…" she stopped there, as she probably didn't want to relive it, so Naruto took over. "It is pretty late…" he mumbled, wondering why she had to be the one to go out this late at night in the first place. "It is late, so what's a kid doing out at this time, brat?!" She had obviously taken offense to what he said, given her loud response, but never one to back down, Naruto retaliated, of course. "You're not that much older than me, kid!" Both huffed indignantly and turned their heads away from the other. A few moments later they heard someone calling an Ayame, which caused the girl to visibly lighten "DADDY!" She screamed, running away, to meet with her father.

Sevrian watched the interaction between the two, noticing just how the boy was able to dissolve her nervousness just by being his jokester self. As she was called, and went away to rejoin her father, Sevrian took hold of the young boy's shoulder and shunshined both of them away, toward another scene, one he felt Naruto needed to see in order to understand fully what could have happened. Naruto was about to question why they'd just left like that, but he put a hand over the boy's mouth and pointed to the scene he wanted Naruto to see. A man was holding a woman, assaulting her from behind as she squirmed and moaned with every thrust. The man had one hand on the woman's neck, and the other held her hand above her head. "Tell me, what you see." His voice was devoid of emotion, as he didn't want to betray just how infuriated watching that made him. "Uhh…they are having…s-sex?" He nodded, but when the boy didn't continue, he did for him. "He is raping her." Naruto's eyes widened and he turned to Sevrian, urgency in his tone. "We have to help her!" The boy's voice was loud, and he smiled sadly, shaking his head, which only served to anger the blond. "What do you mean no!? She needs help! Please!"

He turned to the two and motioned for the boy to look again as well. "Take a good look Naruto. Pay attention, what do you see?" He looked at the boy from the corner of his eye and saw him look at the pair with a pensive look on his face. "Uhm…he isn't trying to stop her from making sounds…she could have screamed for help if she wanted, she isn't really fighting him…why is that?" Sevrian would have beamed if the situation was any different. "That's what happens when a woman becomes broken, like I said earlier. They did it to her so many times that she just plays her part, but new she wants them to use her, she loves how they force themselves on her. That's why they get younger women, they are…easier…to mold." He let Naruto watch for a while longer, seeing the man finish in her and leave, letting her fall to her knees, a happy smile on her face. "I don't wanna be here…please?"

They arrived in Sevrian's home, and he went to the kitchen to make them something to eat, while Naruto kept thinking back to the scene they watched. Was that what was going to happen to that Ayame girl? And why show that to him in the first place? Naruto looked over as the older man came back, a cup in each hand and sat down close to him, offering one of the cups as he took a sip from the other one. "You'll have questions, no doubt. I think I know one of them…I showed it to you to make my story easier for you to understand…you wanted to know about me, right? It's time I told you…and who your parents were, to boot."

He launched into an explanation of his past, his life during the war with, how he was part of the Kurama clan master illusionists, and that once every other generation a member of the clan would be born with such power that they could actually kill others with their illusions. His clan had hoped it would have been him, but he never manifested his abilities, and so he was cast out. He explained that normally him not manifesting his clan's abilities would have been fine, but it was war time, and they were being pressured to show results they could not provide otherwise.

He explained how, after he had been thrown out of the compound, he moved to the poorer district to be as far away as possible from his family. He dropped the name Kurama, and became only Satoru; Naruto was about to interrupt at this point but he just raised a hand, asking the boy to wait and said "I'll explain soon."; He trained tirelessly everyday so that he could become strong enough that not being able to use illusions wouldn't be a problem, and that was when he met Maito Gai, and although very eccentric the two had become fast friends and sparring partners. He was on the same level as Gai at some point, which was saying something as the man was a prodigy in Taijutsu. If he had any proficiency in Nin or Genjutsu that man would have been unstoppable, as it were he had been able to best the God of Ninja himself in a Taijutsu-only match.

Then came the days spent with the woman he would eventually fall in love with. Yuno was a beautiful woman, if a bit eccentric. He didn't go into details on this part of the story, claiming he didn't want to open old wounds, but he emphasized the fact he loved her completely. The war came, and he became part of a strike team with the man who would be Naruto's father and a good friend of his, Minato; Naruto was going to interrupt him then, but he had made the boy promise to wait until the story was over; and they had struck against Iwa in a specific situation, Minato using his infamous Hiraishin and he took care of any stragglers who were lucky enough to survive the first onslaught. He remembered allowing one man to escape, in order to tell the tale of what had happened, something he later regretted immensely.

"The war was over by then…Yuno was part of an ANBU team who was sent to our border with Iwa in order to ascertain no retaliation would be coming from them." Sevrian took a breath then, to calm himself as images of what he found came back to his mind. "They were gone for several weeks, and your father, who became Hokage after the war, was about to send another team to rescue them; he'd assumed they were held against their will; when a member of her team came back. It was Kurenai, a Genjutsu specialist and teammate of my wife's. She told Minato that she had been ordered to call reinforcements, as her group was attacked by Iwa shinobi. But she went on to explain that they were missing-nin, and as such it wasn't retaliation against Konoha, and given the terms of the peace we'd achieved with them, we couldn't send our forces into Iwa territory.

I was, of course, livid. It was my wife out there. I called Kurenai a coward then, telling her she should have used her so called talent to help Yuno escape as well…I know now it would have been futile, but…heh, anyway, your father, genius that he was, had probably foreseen such a thing, because no sooner had she said that, he looked at me and said 'I'm granting you the release from active duty you requested. Effective immediately.' I knew then he was basically giving me his blessing to do as I wished. You see, despite my many reservations about a Hokage's first priority needing to be the village, I respected how your father seemed to care for the individuals that composed Konoha, not the place itself. Anyway, I obviously sped off the moment he finished speaking. The trip from Konoha to the border with Iwa took at least a week, even at the speed I was travelling…I wish I knew the Hiraishin" Naruto noticed how his voice became thick with emotion as he came close to his reunion with his wife, but decided not to comment, letting the man continue. "I did eventually get to the spot Kurenai told us they'd gotten her form. They hadn't moved from it, so I was glad I thought to start there…I saw their tents and someone chained in way her legs were spread open. I scouted the camp first, to ensure no one was close, and then I got close to the person. I always knew who it was but I kept denying it, maybe they'd found another woman…I saw what they had done to her, there were bruises all over her body, cuts…she didn't have her eyes anymore, I assumed it had been some form of punishment for resisting…she heard me walk close and…" for a moment it was like he wasn't going to continue, having reached his limit, but after several deep breaths, he looked toward Naruto, eyes wet with unshed tears "she called out to her masters, asking if she had been a good girl, if she was going to be rewarded…I whispered her name then, and I don't know, maybe she wasn't as broken as they wanted her to be, but she begged…begged me to kill her, she didn't want to continue to suffer that way, and she knew she could never return to normal.

I…eventually she convinced me and I slit her throat. Not long after I heard the men coming back from wherever they were, and they were laughing and discussing who would use the whore first. I think that was the point where something in me snapped…no, that's not it, I think at that moment I broke, I shouted…or maybe roared would be more appropriate, Yuno's name and that was when my bloodline awakened; though I later found that I already had my bloodline, it had simply been suppressed; and I…I'm not going to lie, I thoroughly enjoyed torturing, breaking…shattering their minds before I allowed them to die.

I returned to Konoha with her body, in order to get her a proper burial, but on my way back, as I went to sleep I was pulled into my own mind, where I met my inner demon, Sevrian, who said explained many things to me, one of them being how it wasn't my power that caused a demon to be born, but the other way around, being chosen by a demon caused my power to be born. He explained to me how all bloodlines are truly blessings from demons, how the fabled story of Kaguya and the World Tree was just a bad interpretation of what really happened, and how the Bijuu were never chakra entities, but demons trapped inside humans because your kind is too afraid of change to let it happen. But in the end the most important explanation he could have given me that day came last. How he had chosen me at a young age, when one of the Sannin was experimenting on me to see if he could replicate the power of the Kurama clan. The Sandaime, who up until that point, despite knowing the truth had allowed Orochimaru to experiment on countless children, interfered since Sevrian went on a rampage as he was rather cross with the man attempting to harm his possible body.

After I calmed and Sevrian stopped his little tantrum; no one was harmed, but Orochimaru lost a lab or three in the process; Sarutobi deemed it fit to have Jiraiya seal my bloodline away 'for his own good' he said. Sevrian told me he could have broken free at any point, but that would have caused some pain to me because of how young I was and how fresh, and therefore strong, the seal was. He apologized for not breaking free in time to save Yuno, and said that as he watched my interactions with her, he grew to love her as I did, and as compensation for his failure he instead of taking over, fused with me giving me all his knowledge and power, and memories, essentially making me a whole new being, neither just Sevrian, nor Satoru."

Naruto watched as the older male looked away, out through a window for a moment, before his attention came back to him. "When I came back to Konoha, I stopped by the hospital so they could prepare Yuno for her cremation. It was then I learned she had been pregnant…I was going to be a father!" It hadn't been an angry exclamation, but a broken, happy, wishful one and Naruto was sure the man had been picturing his child for a moment, as tears had finally began falling. "I couldn't bear it anymore…and I killed Satoru not long after her funeral. Your parents and Guy were the only ones there, ironically. Neither of the three knew her, but they were there…and her friends, people who claimed they would always be there for her didn't even dignify me with a scroll." He scoffed at that and shook his head "I promised your father I would never interfere with Konoha business again, but I made him promise to leave me alone. I wanted nothing to do with shinobi after that…and I didn't, until the day you came running in here…I know you want to continue this, you probably have questions about, well about everything, but…can we continue in the morning? I…need to rest."

Naruto nodded, his mind still trying to cope with some of the things the man told him. He was the son of the Yondaime…and they treated him like that…he went to his bed, where he lay, wide awake for fear of dreaming of the scene he'd witnessed that day, and the scenes Sevrian's story could bring to his dreams.

AN: I'm back! For good this time \o

Why come back with a new story? Well, to be honest this chapter was finished some time ago, but I didn't want to post anything if I wasn't going to commit =P so there you have it I'm back. To stay this time. Things are not perfect by a long shot, but I feel like if I don't have a moment to think on something else I'll go insane with worry xD anyway about this story...I've actually debated on making this a remake of an old story, namely my Final Fantasy one, but instead this will cover multiple universes eventually. I do plan on starting with a RPG Maker game I've fallen completely in love with, The Last Sovereign, but that depends on if I can get permission to do so.

The first few chapters will be building the OC, and some of the world's background since I've changed quite a bit. Naruto will have a massive harem on this one, but I don't plan on having it be all about the sex, and I plan on making this story long enough that there'll be time for each relationship to be properly developed. The OC will have his own pairing as well, as per usual in my stories with OCs '-'

So far confirmed for Naruto I have Hinata, Sayuri, Ino, Kurenai and Tsunade. For the OC I have only Anko and Tenten.

By the way, if any of you are wondering why it was specified that words in bold without "" are to emphasize some words during a sentence, well I got reviews from people saying they didn't understand it, so I decided to specify '-'

Anyway, thanks for the patience. See ya \o
