I don't own Naruto or Devil May Cry or any Character that shows up in this story.
AN: Kind of a rewrite, but I put more planning into it and focused it giving it more of a plot. Also I hate Sasuke so there will be bashing.
Konoha:
Eight years after the fox attack Naruto laid in a back alley barely conscious. His body covered in his own blood after another birthday beating. The ANBU that stopped it waited until the civilians were gone before proceeding to kick the child thinking Naruto was unconscious and left him for dead. All the while the Kyubi was laughing his ass off and the Shinigami had taken notice. "When do you plan on helping him Kurama?"
"Hahaha When hell freezes over and you can't do anything to me this world needs me to balance it out. You have no power to force me now leave so I can enjoy his misery." Kurama continued to replay the boy's memories for his own enjoyment.
'If this continues the child of prophecy will bring despair instead of peace. Unless…' "Kurama I would like to make a wager." Kurama was no fool, but the death god would only try and make a wager if she had something that was so valuable that it would force him to accept.
"Speak your wager Death god."
"In ten years' time you shall fight the boy for your full power." This intrigued the fox. "If the boy wins he will take your place as the alpha Biju, but if you win you will be complete and free from sealing forever since the Uzumaki bloodline would die with the boy."
"What are the conditions?"
"You will be completely sealed away from the boy and unable to influence him or even know what he is up to."
"When our battle takes place it WILL just be ME and HIM. NO summons or outside help especially from YOU."
"Fine, do we have a deal?" She extended her hands towards the demon that was too eager to accept.
"I accept the wager and I will kill this brat slowly when we fight." As soon as their hands touched the fox began to be absorbed by her. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"You are being sealed away from Naruto."
"THIS WILL DESTROY THE BALANCE YOU BITCH!"
"No as long as there is a being with the power to take your place it will be fine. Naruto will merge with the energy you are leaving behind becoming a full fledge Biju and will fight you for the other half which you are reuniting with. He will use the ten years to train and prepare from this day." She absorbed the Kyubi leaving a giant orb of red youki in the cage. The pipes began moving attaching themselves to the orb. From the floor a blue orb of chakra rose next to the red it was the size of the red. "Interesting, in order to not be consumed by the fox's power, forth charged his coil to match it. This makes all weak jutsu ultimately useless and it doesn't help that he isn't getting any training besides some minor self-defense." 'He needs help.' With a wave of her hand and four figures appeared.
"Where the hell are we Vergil?"
"I was about to ask you the same question brother and I see Trish is here as well."
"Trish you know where we are?"
"No Dante I don't." Vergil drew his blade and pointed it towards another white haired man.
"Who are you?"
"Calm down bro he is Nero technically our brother."
"Screw you old man where the hell, are we?"
"Calm down kid none of us know where we are."
"You are in the soul of Uzumaki Naruto sons of Sparda and Lady Trish." They all turned to drawing their weapons, but when the turned to face her they lowered their guard feeling no urge to attack or defend themselves. "Your four are here to train this young boy to control his new abilities."
"Who are you?" Nero was the first to speak to the being that felt like a force of unavoidable nature standing before them.
"I am the keeper of the dead so to speak. I am the one who summoned you into the boy so he can control his demonic power and come to terms."
"You seem to assume that we will help without knowing if we are helping our enemy."
"Naruto is a child that needs help and a family, but if you are not convinced I will have to show all of you his life so far." Their minds were assaulted by flashes of the kid's memory feeling everything he went through and it went on for what felt like hours. Dante and Vergil seemed unshaken, but were enraged all the same. Vergil saw no honor even among the ninjas that were supposed to protect the boy. Nero was visible pissed and disgusted with the people. Trish felt sick; she was prepared to see the worse happen to anyone other than children. "Now, Naruto needs to be informed and he may be hostile at first, but he is an intelligent young man."
Naruto appeared lying in the water eyes looking around. "So they threw me into the sewer again and it looks like a new part as well." He stood up feeling no pain. "Who is down here? I can feel your eyes." Naruto turned to see five people standing before him.
"Hello young Uzumaki please come closer there are people I would like you to meet and…"
"Save it the last people who tried to meet me in a sewer ended up dead so leave me alone." He started walking off, but felt a hand stop him. Naruto drew a dagger he hid on his body and swung at the blond haired woman who easily dodged his strikes that were aimed at the arteries he could reach.
'The child is going for the kill, he has major trust issues.' "Naruto we just wish to talk." Trish spoke in a calm tone that would have a soothing effect on anyone other than Naruto who heard similar voice followed by a knife in his arm.
"Calm yourself Naruto and listen. If we wanted to harm you, you would be dead." That stopped Naruto seeing as he couldn't lay one hand on the blond woman. If it was any indication they out classed him greatly. "We are in your soul and they are going to train you to use you demonic powers."
"So I am a demon." The dagger in his hand was inching towards his throat, but Vergil took it from his hands.
"Suicide is not an honorable way to die boy. If you were a demon you would have killed this trash filled village long ago."
"Yes you were human until today, but you are the being that is meant to bring peace to the world. If anything you are an angel." It took hours in his mind to get Naruto to trust them even if it was a little bit. The shinigami explained about his life and why the villagers wanted to kill him. She even told them all about the wager between her and Kurama.
"So I am now the Nine Tailed Fox?"
"Yes and no, I want you to be the Jubi. Also you can choose any animal to be, but we will discuss that later first we need to get you out of this village."
"I would like nothing more than to leave this place in the dust, but if I am leaving I want reparations."
"You mean stealing some clan secrets? I can get behind that." Nero seemed for and the others soon followed in the idea.
"When you have collected everything you want simply call for me and I will transport you to your ancestral home where there are many things there to make your train fruitful." With that she left Naruto in the care of the four.
"Are you sure you can pull off stealing from the village?" Trish showed concern that he would get caught.
"I can avoid ANBU class shinobi on a regular basis I only allow the mob to catch me because when they don't they mess up my apartment and mark up the prices even more. Even when they catch me they can't kill me since the Hokage would have their heads and a few shinobi actually care enough to protect me. Now do any of you know how I can get out of my head?"
"I don't know try concentrating on being awake, but what's the plan on getting your "reparations"?" Dante was kind of skeptical about Naruto being able to pull it off.
Naruto began to fade, but not before stating I accomplish my goals.
Naruto woke up and set off to prepare to leave. Naruto gathered what he had at what passed for his home and placed them in a storage scroll and left towards the Namikaze compound technically the only abandoned compound since the Uchiha still lives in his. It was too easy plundering the compound for all of the scrolls. He found two letters addressed to him. Naruto didn't bother reading them he placed them into the storage seal. Naruto created another storage seal for the money left in the vault. Naruto finished up and head towards the Uchiha compound.
It was the largest clan in the village, but now their home was a ghost town. Naruto entered the head mansion now brooding castle of king emo. 'Itachi-Nii should have killed you, you pompous prick.' Naruto walked into the dining room and was surprised to see a pile of scrolls unguarded. 'What the hell, Hyuga, Yamanaka, and his own. Sasuke just leaves them unguarded in his dining room. The only scroll that has been open was his clan.'
'Maybe he holds to much pride for his own clan to learn from others.' It took every ounce of restraint to not yell.
"What are you doing?" Naruto whispered wondering how Vergil if he remembered correctly was talking to him.
'Speaking to you from your mind. Just think out loud and we will be able to hear you.'
'Can you hear me?'
'Loud and clear kid. We were thinking of teaching this Sasuke guy a lesson.' Dante peaked Naruto's interest and he knew it. 'Take the scrolls and leave a note signing it simply the Thief.'
Dear Uchiha
You are an idiot for leaving these scrolls unattended
Gratefully Yours
The Thief
Naruto skipped over the Aburame's because for their jutsus there had to be bugs inside his body (not something he wanted) and Yamanaka's compound (since the scrolls from the last Uchiha was good enough) heading towards the Nara's compound. Naruto was actually good friends with Shikamaru so instead of stealing he copied the scrolls. It took him ten minutes to copy down their instructions for shadow based jutsus. At one point he felt a pair of eyes on him, but the feeling seemed to disappear as soon as it came.
Naruto checked out the Akimichi compound and only found the variations of the expansion jutsus along with the instructions for making some kind of boosting pills he made sure to copy it leaving the original.
The Inuzuka compound had an animal fighting style that he thought would come in handy for his Biju form once he decided what he was going to look like coming across a picture that looked like a three headed dog.
Naruto arrived at the Hyuga compound. Naruto gathered the scroll for the gentle fist fighting style, but inside was a note saying "Once you master this we will teach you more." Naruto had entered this place once and was hidden by the branch family. He asked questions about why they wear bandages on their foreheads. They told him about how the branch family have seals place on them to make them submissive to the main. Hiashi had tried to ban the seal after the death of his brother, but the elders over ruled him every time. Naruto was in the clan's library noticing they are just as arrogant as the Uchiha. He loaded his scroll and left a note similar to the one he left for Sasuke.
He had to double back to his house leaving another note and paper bombs to cover his tracks.
Dear civilians
Rejoice I have taken the "Demon" to be trained and level your village. For a pretty amount I might add.
Laughing my ass off
The thief
Naruto was now going to his last destination the Hokage's library. He took three scrolls. The Forbidden Scroll filled with Jutsus that would be fatal to anyone who didn't have Kage or Jonin level reserves. The second was about advance fuinjutsu for weaponry. The last one was about the training regimen the Second Hokage went through to become the water master. Naruto left another note and called the shinigami disappeared.
Dear Hokage
Thanks for the scrolls and the demon boy
Thankfully Yours
The Thief
Somewhere in the world:
"Zestu what have you come to inform us about."
"The Kyubi jinchuriki has disappeared, but not before stealing some shit."
"No matter we will find him. We have eight more years before we put our plan into motion."
'Naruto-Kun you really left the village?'
Uzushiogakure:
"Here we are Naruto Uzushiogakure your homeland." Naruto opened his eyes to a wasteland and the look of disappointment was clear on his face. "Your clan was wiped out in a day by the other nations excluding Konoha. Your mother was already gone before the attack and there are four Uzumakis left counting you, but we are not here for the scenery we are here for the underground training facility and library."
"Why Shinigami-Sama, do we want those things?"
"Your clan had long life spans, but you now have immortality. Your clan developed a training chamber so they can learn more in a regular person's life time instead of over hundreds of years because your clan were after knowledge instead of fighting. Knowledge is power and power is threatening to other. They were wiped out from a distance because no one other than an Uzumaki can set foot on this island."
"How long will this training be?"
'Yeah how long will we be in this so call "Training facility" and while we are at it how long will we be in his head?'
"Dante I think asked…"
"I heard Dante and to answer it would be a hundred years in the chamber ten years outside. Your mind will develop faster than your body."
'The child will need real life experience.'
"That is true than it is a good thing you have in your persuasion a key to cutting your time in half if not less. I would advise you four to use this time to teach him everything you know during this time and I will send you back to your realm. Now have you thought about your animal?"
Naruto's mind flashed to the picture of the Cerberus. "I want to be a black Cerberus."
'You can make it more kickass than that.' Dante and Nero chimed in with their ideas.
Konoha:
"This "Thief" has stolen village secrets from the Hyuga, Yamanaka, Uchiha, Inuzuka, and from the Kage library." To saw the Shinobi council was pissed would be an understatement. Hiashi had mixed feeling since the Thief stole from Sasuke his elders stopped pushing to give the Uchiha secrets seeing as it was easily stolen from him. The Hyuga main branch blamed the side branch for the loss of their secrets. The Yamanaka clan refused the request to give their secrets to the Uchiha again since he didn't really care for getting them in the first place.
"You seem to be forgetting Naruto was kidnapped!" Many on the civilian council were going to accuse him for stealing clan secrets, but that would be admitting he had skills.
"Good riddance to the demon. We need to focus on getting …" The civilians were hit by the combined killing intent an ANBU, Hiashi, the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio, and the Hokage himself
"Don't you DARE talk ill of my GRANDSON and the FIRST'S CHILD!"
Uzushiogakure:
Naruto sneezes outside of the chamber. "Weird who would talk about me?"
"Here it is and it is able to sustain a single person for longer than your training for. I would like to say good luck Naruto-Kun and goodbye." She faded away as Naruto entered his new home.
