Disclaimer: I do not Devil May Cry or Naruto.
Summary: Fox to Demon, Falcon to Angel, Jinchūriki to Nephilim, Grandson of Sparda to Adoptive Father. Oh Snap.
Author's Note: Welcome to the next installment to the Nephilim Chronicles. Okay first I want to clear a few things up before I start this, since I didn't make this clear when I posted my first NC story: Rosario Nephilim, this is set in the Naruto Universe with many elements from Devil May Cry. Characters from the Devil May Cry universe are from the original version. However, there will be some elements from the new version, such as the idea of a Nephilim being an Angel/Demon hybrid as opposed to being an Angel/Human hybrid. This is also going to be different from my some of my other Nephilim Chronicles, as instead of Naruto himself being an Angel/Demon hybrid; he is a Jinchūriki for both a demon and an angel. The villagers are not aware of the angel, only of Kyūbi. So with that said, let's start the story.
Nephilim Jinchūriki
Prologue: The Bijū, the Tennin, and the Jinchūriki
Long ago, when mankind was still young, the angels and demons waged a great war over for control of the human race. The Angels saw humans as children, who needed to be protected and nurtured; the Demons saw them as nothing more than servants and entertainment for them.
For a million years, these two forces fought for control, until the Demon King Mundus and the Jūbi, joined forces to defeat the Angel Army and their leader, the Tenchi. After a long difficult battle, the Tenchi realized that they would have to retreat. Soon afterward, Mundus and the Jūbi turned on one another and went their separate ways.
Mundus tried to take over the human world, while the Jūbi wreaked havoc in the Elemental Nations. The Tenchi was preparing to face Mundus, but when word reached Heaven that Mundus's general Sparda had betrayed Mundus and sealed the door to the demon world, the Tenchi instead decided to focus on the Jūbi.
The Tenchi realized that the only way for an angel or a demon to fully materialize in the Elemental Nations, was to merge with the mysterious energy, known as chakra. Understanding that once the process was complete, it was irreversible the Tenchi entered the Elemental Nations as a Chakra Spirit.
The Tenchi and the Jūbi battled each other for centuries, until during their final battle, a human used his mastery of a secret art which would eventually be known as Fūinjutsu, to seal the Titans into to his own body and become their human sacrifice, their Jinchūriki. This man would be known to legend as the Rikudō Sennin.
-2000 Years Later-
"What am I going to do?" said Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage. His successor, Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze were dead, and he didn't do something soon so would their newborn son, Naruto. Someone had overheard him and Jiraiya, talking about the Kyūbi being sealed inside the boy and rushed to spread the word throughout the village.
"Damn," he muttered he had been careless. If he had thought to put up the security seals, he wouldn't have this mess on his hands. Fortunately, whoever overheard them did not stick around. If they had they'd have heard the conversation between him, Jiraiya and perhaps the one person he'd thought he'd never see and live to tell, not that he would.
-Flashback One Week Ago-
"The Shinigami!?" exclaimed Jiraiya as their uninvited guess approached. "Correct mortal," the Shinigami said in a low whisper, "I am the Shinigami."
"Why are you here?" said the Sandaime, desperate to not let his fear show, "Oh that is simple," replied the Shinigami, "I am here to inform you of a recent development."
"What are talking about?" said Jiraiya, cautiously; "You are aware that Minato Namikaze made a deal with me to help him seal the Kyūbi?" they nodded, "During the sealing something else was dragged in."
"Something else?" they repeated, "Correct, you mortals are very familiar with the Bijū; however you do not know of their counterparts." Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, "Counterparts?"
"The Tennin," the Shinigami said, "Just as there are nine bijū, there are nine tennin." The Shinigami inwardly smirked at their stunned faces, "When the Kyūbi began wreak havoc, the Hayabusa, the strongest Tennin, sensed it and rushed to stop it."
"By the time the Hayabusa arrived, I had already been summoned."
"Wait, how come no one saw this Hayabusa?" said the Sandaime.
"The Tennin prefer not to meddle in human affairs, as such their chakra creates a veil so that they may remain hidden from mortal eyes. Namikaze did not see the Hayabusa, so he sealed it inside his son, along with the Kyūbi."
-Flashback End-
After the conversation with the Shinigami, Jiraiya went to find more information on the Tennin, while the Sandaime looked after Naruto. The Sandaime was pushed to the end of his rope, if he didn't do something now, he wouldn't be able to protect Naruto. There was a knock at his office door, "Come in," he grunted.
The door opened and inside walked a young man with white hair, a long navy-blue trench-coat over a red vest, black pants, and brown boots. There was a strangely handled sword on his back and his right arm was wrapped in bandages.
"And who are you?" the Sandaime said. "The name's Nero," the young man replied, "My wife and I just moved here a month ago and the rumors going around for the last week is that kid is the Kyūbi," the young man paused, "I just wanted to ask you, why haven't you said anything to disprove these rumors?"
The Sandaime was not expecting that, he sighed in relief before replying, "Because even if I did it wouldn't change anything, even if the people don't think he is the Kyūbi, the fact that it is still inside of him will drive people to fear him, I'm doing everything I can but even as the Hokage, I can only do so much."
The Sandaime sighed again, "If only someone would adopt him, things might be a little easier, but with his Jinchūriki status known to the public, know one will want him in their homes."
Nero closed his eyes for a moment then spoke, "Then how about I adopt him?" Sarutobi stared at him, "What?"
"My wife and I will adopt him then you won't have to worry so much." Nero said.
Sarutobi's eyes narrowed in suspicion, "Why would you want to adopt him?" he asked.
Nero subconsciously clenched his bandaged fist, "I know what it's like," he said, "to be hated, feared for something you had no control over."
Sarutobi knew that this man was hiding a deep pain but didn't want to pry. He agreed and Nero went to get his wife Kyrie, to sign the adoption papers. After everything was set and done, the married couple walked away with their new son in arm.
"Things are only going to get worse from here on out," said the Hokage to himself, "Hopefully you'll make it through, Naruto."
