IMPORTANT!

I WILL NOT FOLLOW CANON. Nor is this a direct crossover and I will only include things that I want from the Evangelion series.

UPDATES WILL BE SLOW BUT ACTIVE. THEY MAY BECOME FASTER IF I GET A BETA READER!

I will have the mission to Wave. The Chunin Exams, and others, But there will be major changes to those events.

MY harem will not be because of the CRA. It will be more loved based. Yes I know it sound cheesy but whatever. The girls will not just all of a sudden for in love with him. Some will be attracted early on though. One thing I do warn you is that if you don't like lovey dovy fluffy stories then you shouldn't read any of my stories. I am a helpless romantic and I love romance. There will be drama. I know in real life a harem will be nearly impossible to accomplish. In this story not all girls will get along, at least in the beginning. There will be catfights. But i do not believe a harem would function well with all the girls don't end up falling for each other also. They will end up falling in love with each other. So yes there will be female on female, but it i am not writing this as pervert. It will help with the over whole management of the harem.

This Story WILL contain lemons and limes, but not anytime soon. The story has just started. There will be many suggestive themes throughout the story but this is not about sex. This is about friendship, adventure, and much more.

One thing I want to point out is in the beginning I will not be bashing Sasuke. But as time goes by he will start changing and the bashing will start. I will not be doing it every paragraph and will limit it. Sakura will think Naruto is still only a dead last. IF she tries anything on Naruto or any of his girls, she will get dealt with. I do not appreciate the fact that she hits people for the sake of it. It is pathetic and stupid. Tayuya is aggressive and does hit people but she knows that she can expect the same in return. She does it at her own peril.

In this Story Naruto WILL be GREY. That means although he fights for those who he loves, he will deal with enemies violently. He will still be kind and loving, but he will not deal with Bullshit. Some of the things he will do is considered dark and he may lean more to the dark, BUT he will not be evil. He will NEVER enjoy killing. I want this story to be unique.

I hate writing and reading angst and drama so do not expect much romance drama except for maybe girlfights. This story will focus more on relationships so do not expect pages of fight scenes. Some things may be a little dark but not to the extremes.

A/N- The chapter is small but it is just the prologue. Sorry, The chapters will be much longer then this. So yeah. This story will have many elements, but I am not a pro, so constructive criticism is appreciated. I am sorry to say that I will write ooc. Why? Well it's fanfiction. If you want them acting the way they should watch the show or read the manga. Naruto may become overpowered in the end but so will the enemies I guess so whatever.

Prologue: The One Word Test

-Konoha-

- Hyuuga Compound-

-Jounin-

"Hello Hinata-chan. Of what do I owe the pleasure?" The door was opened just a couple inches. Only his left eye was visible. The girl gave him a weary smile. She had grown so much.

"Someone is here. She says she really needs to speak to Naruto." The man stiffened. His figure was covered in darkness.

"You know that Naruto-kun isn't up for talking, right?"

"I... I know. But she says it's important. And, there is something about her. She is not normal."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out when you see her."

"Where is she now?"

"I told her to wait in the garden." The male let out a long sigh.

"I'll go talk to her. There is no need to bother Naruto over something that could be trivial. I would appreciate it if you were to accompany me."

The young Hyuuga gave him a soft smile.

"Of course, but who is to guard the tower?"

"No one is allowed access to this compound without permission, there are no worries." He opened the door so that he could pass before closing it. Even though it was early, the sun was already high in the sky. It was so bright that the male jounin had to cover his eyes with his hands. It wasn't often that he went out, and when he did it was only with Hinata; they had become close friends. She was like a little sister to him. The door was locked quickly and they made their way through the grounds, towards the garden.

The guards bowed their heads as the two figures walked. The Hyuuga compound was huge and heavily guarded due to Naruto's presence. After a couple of minutes the pair walked into the garden. The Garden was a thing of beauty, its huge variety of flowers gave it a bright look. It was elaborately designed and was given much care.

The woman Hinata had mentioned earlier was sitting on a bench examining the flowers. Her face was covered with a raven mask that an ANBU member would normally wear. The main difference here was that it was of pearlescent black with a piece of cloth covering her hair hiding its colour. The markings on the mask were that of a silver colour. She did not give off any chakra signatures. The jounin looked back at Hinata who just nodded and explained that her Byakugan didn't work on her.

He saw a chair a couple feet in front of the mysterious girl and sat down. Hinata opted to stand by his side; her hands on his right shoulder.

"What is your name?"

"Emi Mei." She responded while continuiing to examin the flowers

"Why do you wear the mask?

"That is of no significance here."

"You do not give off a chakra signature and yet you are here. You are not an illusion so how is it possible that you are even talking to us." She didn't respond and he let out a long sigh.

"You are looking for Naruto, it seems."

"Yes, it's really important." She stated turning to face him directly.

The girl's hands were fidgeting, causing the male jounin to raise an eyebrow. Said male looked up at Hinata who gave him a small nod and he started talking again.

"I will ask you a series of questions; you will confine yourself to single word responses. One word. Do you understand?"

"Why?"

"Truth is singular, Lies are words. Words can be untruthful... What do you want from him?"

She was about to mumble something out before he stopped her.

"Remember one word."

She stayed quiet before responding.

"Help."

"Why?"

"Danger."

"Why would he help you?"

The young female cocked her head.

"Kindness"

He felt Hinata's hand tighten, but he just maintained an emotionless face.

"Naruto is not kind."

"No?"

"Naruto doesn't help people. Not anyone. He stands above this world and doesn't interfere in the affairs of its inhabitants. He is not your salvation, nor your protector. Do you understand what I am saying?"

The female sat there silent before responding.

"Words."

The answer caused Hinata's hands to tighten even more. The Hyuuga heiress spoke for the first time since the conversation had started.

"He was different once. A long time ago. Kind, yes. A hero even. The saviour of many. But he suffered losses which hurt him. Now he prefers isolation to the possibility of pain's return. But there is also a darkness in his heart which has come to surface multple times. Kindly choose a word that describes your understanding."

"Man."

The answer caused the jounin let out a small grin.

"We are Naruto's friends. We assist him in his isolation, but that doesn't mean we approve of it. So, a test for you. Give me a message for him. Tell him of the danger that you are facing, of what's at stake, and most importantly of why he should help you."

She was about to respond, but he continued.

"But do it in one word."

Her body seemed to tense and he could see her hands fidgeting more intensely then before.

"You're thinking that it's impossible for such a word to exist or that you will even be able to find it. Let's see if the odds are with you."

-Naruto-

Naruto stood by his window staring down at the compound. The tower was one of the only high buildings in the Hyuuga mansion. The young Uzumaki was twirling a kunai with his finger without knowing it. The darkness of his room was soothing. Only a handful of people were allowed in, and those were the ones he had developed a deep relationship with. But he rarely left the tower and never left the compound. Many of his friends still visited him however.

"Naruto, I know this is a sour subject, but Ryu has been getting antsy. He needs to know if you are willing to continue with what had been planned," stated Momiji nervously. She had just arrived a few minutes prior to a meeting with her family and was currently laying face up on his bed. Naruto felt a little pang in his chest as she said the words, but he knew Ryu had his reasons. Her long raven hair was undone and it covered most of her eyes. He turned away from the window to face her, she seemed deep in thought.

-Naruto we have to get going stop playing around.-

"Momiji-chan… I… You know i always keep my promises." He let a small sigh as he said the words.

-Sorry about the wait. Boyscout over here thought it would be funny to play some pranks.-

The girl lifted her head from his bed, a sad look on her face.

-What the hell are you doing here!-

"You know you don't have to, Naruto-kun. I will hold nothing against you if you decide to not to." She said these words half heartedly, truly hoping that he would accept. When she had first met him she had nearly killed him and now here she was hoping beyond anything that he would stay true to their agreement. Of course she knew what he had went through, she knew what he had lost.

-Run! We Can't Hold Them Back!-

"Don't worry Momiji, As much as I hate what has happened, an agreement is an agreement." He gave her a faint smile which was pretty unique to almost everyone else. The smile caused Momiji's mood to lighten.

She quickly got off the bed, forgetting that she was tired. She lunged herself on him and hugged him tightly nearly causing him to lose his breath.

-We... we can't escape them...-

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" After for what seemed like an eternity, she finally got off of him.

"When does it have to happen?"

-I love you Naruto... Never forget that...-

"It doesn't matter, don't worry. It can wait for a while. My father just wanted a confirmation that you have not given up. That means that I have to go and inform him," she said with great enthusiasm. "See you soon, Naruto-kun!" she screamed out before disappearing into flames.

-What have you done!? You Fucking Monsters! I WILL KILL YOU!"

He was left thinking of what had happened. He had known this moment would inevitably come, but he had hoped that it would have taken longer. It was not that he didn't want to. But that it was a reminder of everything that he had lost that day.

He started spinning the same kunai he had been doing earlier.

-YOU caused this Naruto... They died because of YOU, because of YOUR weakness.-

"Naruto, I sense a huge change is about to happen.!

'What do you mean?'

"I don't know, just needed to tell you. Be ready. Talk to you another time."

'See you later I suppose.'

-You will lose everything Naruto! You are a weak fool holding on to a foolish belief. I will let you live for now, but is it really living? I suppose not.-

The opening of his door caused him to look away from the window. A male voice interrupted his silence.

"I am sorry to interrupt but it is of importance."

"Don't worry Itachi-kun. What is it about?"

The ninja lifted his head, his red eyes still visible in the dark. A ghost of a smile on his lips.

"Naruto-kun, a girl arrived earlier seeking your help. We gave her the one word test."

"You know this is useless. What did she say?"

The Uchiha didn't respond immediately.

"What did she say?" repeated Naruto, his eyes emitting a glow.

"Melody"

-You are destined to be alone Naruto-SAN! To watch all those you've love die in front of you! You are a curse among this world; Child of TIME... Child of the Phoenix!-

The sound of a kunai hitting the ground echoed through the room.
