A shout out to SevenKings who helped me out with both this story and the other story ideas that I have

THERE MAY BE MANGA ELEMENTS AND PERHAPS CHARACTERS BUT IT FOLLOWS FROM THE ANIME'S ENDING, PROBABLY, IT CAN STILL CHANGE.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Soul Eater.

Naruto was a sad child, born moments before the Kyuubi attack he was affected by the chakra of the beast while still in the womb, as the beast resided in his mother during her pregnancy, poisoning his body and damaging his chakra core.

The damage resulted in minimal chakra reserves, barely enough to stay alive, and even what little he had was a mutated form of chakra, destructive and uncontrollable, that made so he couldn't even follow a less chakra expensive shinobi career such as a Med-nin or a Genjutsu specialist.

When they realized the problem a couple of weeks after his birth his father tried sealing the leftovers of the Kyuubi's chakra that surrounded Konoha in him, hoping it would help like it did his daughters.

In the end it only gave him slit red eyes and an slightly greater healing factor and while he now had a bit more chakra, because of it's raging nature, it couldn't be controlled and an unending pain in his stomach, that having grown with it he believed to be normal.

The different chakra he held and his now ruby-red eyes led to rumors forming all around the village that he was the demon either reborn or in human form earning him the hatred or fear of the villagers and distrust from most shinobi who were still undecided if they believed or not in the rumors. After all to this day knowledge of the Tailed Beast was still mostly based on old myths, who was to say it was impossible.

And while that may trouble him, he could've dealt with it. It wasn't that what truly hurt his heart, his pain came from the scene he was watching while seated on a tree close to him house.

"Impressive Mito-chan, to learn the Rasengan so quickly" a blond man said, impressed with his 10-year-old daughter that had managed to learn one of his greatest technique, even if using a shadow clone to help.

"Yeah, it took the toad pervert 3 years to master it but you managed to learn in a month." said an happy red-haired woman to the same girl.

Yes, that was the cause of his sadness. The fact that to stop the force of destruction that was the Kyuubi, his father the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Uzumaki-Namikaze and his godfather, Jiraiya of the Sannin Sennin used a complex seal matrix to divide and seal the beast while a exhausted Kushina was holding it with her chains. It had been pre-made, created by the two during the Third Shinobi War in the case of a Bijuu attack.

The ones chosen as the vessels were his twin sisters, Mito, a small girl of 4'2 ft with red hair that was blond at the tips, normally wearing a white kimono top with yellow magatamas design, red ninja pants and white sandals.

And his other sister Erza, that wasn't home at the moment, an average sized girl of 4'7 ft with pure crimson red hair often using an white dress-shirt with a black skirt and strangely using armored gauntlets and boot's.

She was the vessel for the Yin of the Kyuubi while Mito was the jailer of the Yang, Erza showed a trait similar to Kushina's chains though more advanced as it can take any form, from sword and spears to armor, the armor parts the constantly wears are made from her chakra.

They were born in the same state fo weakness as he, but thanks to the healing properties of being a proper Jinchuuriki their chakra cores were healed when young and their levels went back to normal before growing to be enormous, the expected of a Jinchuuriki.

But the sisters themselves weren't the reason of his sadness, it was the difference of the treatment they were given that deeply hurt him.

Being Hokage his father never had a lot of time, always having a meeting or paperwork to occupy himself or the odd mission here and there. But he made time for the girls, he was there in their most important days, he was there to teach them his techniques, he was there. Whenever Naruto tried to talk to the man, if he even got past his secretary, he would get some variation of "I'm busy" without even being looked at sometimes.

His mother gave all siblings equal attention not so long ago, she would put everyone one of them to sleep and talk with him with that loving smile when he was sad, he thought at least her would be by his side.

Unfortunately that stopped not long after she returned to active duty and started taking missions once again, she stopped putting them to sleep and wasn't at the house most of the day. He wouldn't complain much, but she stopped talking to him as much, but much like his father would always find time to teach the girls her techniques having family fun while he was left behind.

Their godparents Jiraiya and Tsunade, one outside the village and the other busy most of the time, haven't talked with him at all since he was 7 and even before it was just some really short conversations. That lead Naruto to depression and doubt his existence as after if no one cares about or needs him what is the reason he exists what proves he exists.

His sisters too little to really understand what was happening, just talked with him sometimes when they crossed paths at the house. But since they didn't train together, and as he apparently couldn't be a shinobi they had little to talk about, that and his jealousy for their treatment made so they weren't that close during childhood.

And so he didn't have even his family to escape from the hatred of village.

But Naruto was still somewhat hopeful, after all even if he never become a great ninja and leave a mark in history like his father and mother, and even if in the whole village not one person would ever truly love him, he was still at least was to be the clan head. That used give him a purpose in life, a objective, a reason, till the last time he asked for training, during their tenth birthday, two weeks ago.

Flashback

Naruto was sitting one the second floor of his house looking at the party going on beneath him. As always nobody but his parents, Mikoto Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi bought him a gift. And even then Hiruzen and Mikoto only bought him one because they had enough memory left in them to remember that the Uzumaki-Namikazes had three children, they were only really close to Miito, her being the naturally charismatic of the siblings, and somewhat close with Erza.

Naruto watched as almost everyone important in the village gave his sister congratulations and presents while the only one that came over to talk with him was Mikoto-san, and his parents and that was only the simple "happy birthday", Sarutobi-san had left his gifts for the three siblings on the front door.

Naruto had prepared for another disappoitment of a birthday, where he was forgotten by his family and everyone else, his sisters too engrossed in their celebrations to think about their estranged brother and their parents too focused on the party and his sisters to remember their quiet son, but he decided to try to make something of it so it wouldn't be a complete loss, he decided to try to ask his parents for training once again, even if administrative, after months of giving up.

As the party went on, Naruto waited till Minato and Kushina were free of entertaining the guests to try and speak with them.

After a few minutes the two were finally alone so Naruto approached.

"Kaa-san, Tou-san" came the boy's quiet voice, the two trained shinobi though still heard it over all the sounds of the party, and turned to meet their elder son.

"What is it Naruto-kun" came his mother's voice as the two looked at him, a rare moment he thought absently.

"I wanted to know if you could start training me now" he said, his voice, against his will, showing a hint of hope.

"Naruto, you know you can't be a shinobi, I am sorry but training won't change that" Minato said gently, even if slightly frustrated for his son insistence on the matter but he knew the inability to use chakra hurt the boy, and he didn't want to worsen that.

"Even if not as a shinobi I have to be trained to be the Uzumaki Clan Head, I am the older brother" he said pressing on.

Minato and Kushina looked at each other, he had never asked for training as Head so they assumed he had realized that he wasn't to be the clan-head of the Uzumaki, he was unable to be a shinobi after all. The conviction on his voice worried them though, they didn't want to hurt him, but they would have to make clear to him that the position wasn't his, and possible breaking his dream by doing so, they lead him further from the party before beginning.

Kushina knelt so she was at his height "Naruto-kun, you can't be shinobi clan Head as you can't be a shinobi" she said softly holding his shoulder.

Naruto eyes widened, that was his purpose, his reason, even if his parents didn't seem to care for him, his godparents might ignore him, the populace of the village dislike him, his sisters might not be close to him, but he would have purpose as the clan Head he would be recognized for it, even if not as Naruto but as the Uzumaki Clan Head he would have recognition.

"Non shinobi can be clan-heads, Hyuuga Clan, 596 a.R Jaken Hyuuga, crippled from the waist down was the Clan's Head. Kurama Clan, 704 a.R Ryuuka Kurama, untalented for the shinobi arts, gave up and focused on political training and was Clan Head. Yuki Clan, 871 a.R Jinsei Yuki, suffered from Osteoporosis and was Clan Head. Ara-" His frantic explanation was interrupted by his father.

"Naruto, all those cases were during the Clan Wars Era, where there was a strict law of succession to avoid any possibility of infighting so even if incapable of being a shinobi if able to rule the clan finances and political relations the oldest would rule after the current Head's death or leaving the post. But now, in the Hidden Village Era the successor is chosen, and even if there hasn't being a change of successor since Tsume Inuzuka was chosen over her brother, who later turned traitor, because of your condition your mother and I felt that it would be better if Mito, as the second oldest, became the Uzumaki Head." he said holding the boy's shoulder, trying to show support.

Naruto started to hyper-ventilate, they couldn't do this! Without this he was without reason, without motive to go on.

Seeing the boy's condition Kushina tried to comfort him but as soon as she tried to hug him he bolted, running out of the house.

"NARUTO!" both his parents yelled, but he reached the door and left, he slept in the rather large yard that night, without realizing that his parents had followed him,Kushina wanted to go to him but Minato said to let him stay as it wasn't to rain that day and he needed the time for himself.

Flashback End

That day, without anything to look forward to it, Naruto fell into depression.

"Why does this happens to me" Thought the boy sitting in the tree."I never wanted too much, only the attention that I see almost every parent gives to their children if not love at least a purpose, so why."

As these thoughts plagued his young mind Naruto he heard a whisper in his head "Come" the whisper said.

He couldn't explain why he followed such strange whisper, neither how he knew the direction he should go to, but he left the tree and started moving towards the place even his neglectful parents had the mind warn him about, the Forest Of Death.

The boy met no obstacle in his path, even after entering the forest, no giant animals or any of the other dangers he was warned about. Eventually he got to what looked like a hill with a cave, its entrance shaped like a spider head with the mouth opened as a door. Even in front of this oddity, the boy, still in a trance, entered the cavern.

Once inside he walked up a long candle-lit corridor till he arrived at an open room, and the trance was broken.

"Where? What?" the boy said confused, looking around, like the corridor he vaguely remember passing there were candles illuminating the room and a gigantic spider web at the end of the room as it was dark he couldn't see exactly what It was but there was a human shaped shadow that appeared to be sitting in the web.

"Come closer child" a calm and slightly seductive voice said from the web.

While no longer in a trance the boy just couldn't refuse such a voice and approached the web.

There he saw her, he could confidently say that she was the most beautiful woman he had seen in his 10 short years, with luscious black hair, alluring black eyes with a white web pattern, full lips covered in dark lipstick and a provoking dress as black as the darkest night.

Mesmerized, all he could do was stare stupefied at her, she smiled a gentle and kind looking smile as she observed him "What troubles you so child, that I could feel you sadness from all this distance."

Naruto blinked, trying to focus, before realizing what she asked, while confused about how she couldfeel his sadness he understood that she meant about his situation with family and village, for some reason he felt comfortable around the woman but stayed quiet, hesitating on telling her his problems, after all she was a stranger.

The woman just kept looking softly at him, smiling, and it was that smile that broke his barriers.

Such a loving smile, he couldn't remember ever seeing one like this aimed at him, the ones his mother gave him were nothing like this, they looked more like a smile that she gave out of politeness than one out of love, this one seemed so... accepting.

The boys anger at his parents and lack of confidence in his own worth might've mudded his perception.

In front of that smile he broke, telling her of his self-doubts and pain, how the villagers hated, avoid and sometimes, when he was alone, threw things at him, how his parents ignored him and treated him as nuisance, as he finished letting loose 10 years of frustration his eyes started to water.

As soon as the tears started gathering in his eyes he felt a pair of arms wrapping around him as he was gently pulled into the lady's chest. He couldn't remember the last time his mother hugged him, definitely not as lovingly. That was all it took for the dam to break, the unshed tears finally falling from his eyes.

They stayed like this for some time, him crying in the arms of the woman whose name he didn't even know yet and she drawing soft circles on his back. Until he finally ran out of tears, that's when she began "Do you feel better now child." she spoke softly.

Raising his head to look at her eyes all he could do was nod, looking at her still smiling face. She slowly took one hand from his back, and rested gently on his cheek.

"Good, now you spoke that you felt without purpose, unneeded, unloved so why don't you help me, I will give you a purpose and I will give all the love you so desire".

Naruto knew she had a personal reason for doing this, even if ignored he grew up in midst of the Hokage, Clan Heads and other important people around the village, and believing that he was going to be a Clan Head himself, he always paid attention to how they acted, and though she was great at hiding he knew she had to have some kind of second intention.

But even then he couldn't bring himself to care, her smile seemed so kind and the hug was so loving he just wanted to lose himself in her arms, he contemplated as he once again sunk into her embrace,already addicted to it.

Arachne was happy, she could feel the resonance between the child and the most important of the souls she had managed to acquire before using the ritual to escape to this dimension, and he was in such a malleable state, it would be so easy to make him loyal.

She thought, reminiscing on how she came to be in this dimension.

Flashback

After having her soul eaten by Asura she could feel as her sense of self slipped, feel as she slowly became just one amongst the mass of souls inside the kishin, but before she could get truly lost in the maddening sea ,Asura was defeated by that small scythe meister Maka.

Even as a soul she felt as Shibusen operatives collected her and the other souls released after the destruction of the Demon God.

She felt as she was brought into Death City and put on a storage room with the other souls where she heard she would stay until the Shinigami was healed from his fight with Asura so he could put the human souls to rest and deal with the others by distributing thesouls of witches and kishin eggs between the meisters that participated in the besiege of her castle.

But as she hadn't lost her mind during her short time inside of the Kishin and was one of the most powerful witches since Mabaa herself, she still had hope even in that dark situation, for as long as her soul remained whole she could return.

So in the shadows of the storage room, where all the gathered souls were cramped together, she changed the form of her soul to a spider and magically influenced the toughts of one of the two guard standing outside to come in to "check" on the souls, when the guard entered the spider jumped at his face quickly entered his body through his mouth and took control.

With the memories she got from the guard she learned that though the consumed souls were expelled, the original soul of Asura, the one that represented the Demon God in his individuality as one of the Eight Warlords and the Representation of Madness through Terror, was being kept in a different, more guarded room.

She quickly packed the maybe million of souls in the room that was from everybody Asura consumed through his long life and everyone that died during the short war, including her sister and all of their servants, quietly killed the other guard outside the storage and left to where Asura's soul was being kept.

While it was probably the most guarded room in the city, it was still sub-par, as almost everyone was busy with repairs or reestablishing order and all the best meisters and weapons were still recovering.

So she consumed a couple of the packed souls to get her power back to normal (as witches can't become kishins) and quickly killed the guards with a small amount of dark magic.

She got the soul she came for and ran, as she knew that even the small amount of magic she used would still be sensed and recognized by the injured Shinigami.

After escaping to one of her many bases she knew she had to keep hidden, with her organization destroyed, Shibusen knowing she was alive and the witches against her for supporting the resurrected Kishin, any movement she made could lead her to being captured and executed.

But her luck hadn't run out yet, in the souls she secured, there were those of her sister and her followers, most precisely, the werewolf Freed, though she didn't know how and when he died with his supposed immortality, what mattered was that even his soul was imprinted with Mabaa's eye's power, and with it she may just have a chance of starting again even if at a different place.

So she spent the next 3 years or so, she wasn't keeping track, in her hideout studying the power of the eye.

During that time she also searched the bag of stolen souls, that she used magic to make sure they wouldn't pass on, for any that belonged to her minions. And while she found some the only that were truly important were Mosquito and Giriko, both she found in the bag, unfortunately they had already lost themselves as souls and she never heard about a ritual to bring souls that lost their sense of self back.

After some thought she decided that she would keep the souls with her and maybe try to develop a ritual to bring them back. After she managed to find a place safe enough she didn't have to spend half her magic constantly sustaining a barrier around and still be worried that she would be found, it was not her proudest moment.

Eventually she was able to use the imprint of Spatial Magic in the soul to start a new magic system with that type of magic in her, making her capable of using Spatial Magic, and with two magic systems and the strongest known magic becoming definitively the most powerful witch excluding Mabaa.

After that she spent 4 more years creating a formula that would allow her to cross dimensions, making sure that it would automatically search for a dimension that had the basic things in common with hers, she didn't want to end in a dimension where there was no oxygen or almost everyone could blow up a planet or something like that.

It was a shame but such a ritual would need the sacrifice of several souls, so she picked the less powerful ones that she had with her, as it was more of a quantity thing than a quality one, and prepared for the magic.

She then wrote the necessary magical circle for the ritual around all of her hideout, to transfer it as well so she could have a base of operations, and powered up the formula.

She blacked out during the dimensional crossing and when she came to she didn't even have to leave of the hideout to know she was in a different dimension, she could feel the energy around her wasn't the mana she was used to, it felt different and stronger.

She didn't notice till days later that her sister soul had disappeared, as much like Arachne had before, Medusa awakened while a soul, in her case from the power used in the ritual, then changed her soul to a snake form and slithered away while Arachne was unconscious.

She had to spent around 2 years getting back control over her magic because of the different energy surrounding her, during that time she sent some spider familiars to explore the area close to her.

It appears she had quite the luck as she had transferred herself to a forest where almost no one from the village close by entered, the only constant visitor was a purple haired woman and it wasn't difficult to influence the woman to avoid heading at her hideout's direction.

Unfortunately she still couldn't find a way to use the souls to bring her two greatest servants back, she felt it was possible she was just missing something, but couldn't think of what it was.

She also used the time to create various automated Golem's, who didn't need enchanters, something she developed recently using the new power oozing from this world and ordered her spiders to bring her anyone that didn't seem strong enough to fight back, and since the spiders were just familiars those were just the civilians, or too known to be missed and bring back to her lair.

It was with these kidnaps that she, after absorbing information from the souls of her victims, learned more of this world, including its language and culture.

From the memories that she took from various civilians and two injured shinobi she realized that even being the most powerful witch besides Mabaa there would still be a number of these ninja and perhaps even a samurai or monk that could match her in power. Thanks to Spatial Magic and the two magic systems she was a solid S-rank in this world power measure but the Kages and another small amount of people could still match and maybe beat her in battle.

As even if she was very powerful and had 800 years of experience, she never was that much of a fighter so they if they got too close she could be in trouble, but Spatial Magic made that almost impossible.

During that time she also felt Asura's soul resonate with one coming from the village that resonance only grew with time, with a sudden growth in the resonance around two weeks ago, knowing that it could mean that Asura's soul was looking for a host and the chance that would provide her as soon she finished her getting control over her magic she called to the source.

She was shocked and happy to see that it was still a child, easier to influence it to become as she wanted.

So, much like with the original kishin, she showed him love and care and he fell into her arms.

5 Years Later

A boy, walked through the gates of the Konoha Academy.

He was wearing a thick red jacket with horizontal black stripes that had a black lined three eyes symbol on the back and was some sizes too big for him, a simple black shirt under it, dark green baggie pants and a pale, skin-like scarf.

He had pale blonde hair that was almost shoulder length and fell around his head with bangs creating a curtain on the upper half of his face and had a vertical slit in the middle of the forehead, deep red eyes and the scarf covering everything beneath his nose, he wore straw slippers on his feet.

That was the now 15 years old Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, after the meeting with the beautiful lady he learned was called Arachne but he now called her Okaa-sama.

He kept going to her cave practically everyday, only missing some of the visits to not make his parents suspicious, and spent almost the entire day there.

The first days was just they talking with her holding Naruto as he became addicted to being in her arms due to not remembering ever felling such comfort before.

After around two month of him meeting her, Arachne injected, with his permission, a black liquid in him that she said would make him stronger.

And it truly did, after the injection Naruto was able to move faster and hit much stronger, he trained on the giant beasts of the forest that he now could beat with ease as even when they hit him whatever the black liquid was made it so it didn't or barely hurt.

After two weeks of him training with his new gained power Arachne told him the other abilities the, as she called, Black Blood gave him, the ability to harden and control his blood and use it as a weapon, he soon trained in that as well.

Still hoping to prove his worth to his parents, as it is in a child's nature to look for it's parents approval. Naruto, without showing the Black Blood itself, showed his parents his new strength, hoping that it would help convince them to let him into the Academy so that he could show he was as capable of following the family profession as his sisters.

After seeing their, at the time, 11 year old son show the physical strength of a chunnin level shinobi, Minato and Kushina let Naruto enter the Academy, still didn't really believing him to be able to become a shinobi without being able to use chakra but hoping that the time at the Academy would let Naruto realize that by himself and allow him the peace of mind to move on.

Arachne didn't want for him to go and with her disapproval he hesitated as he was by then already reliant on her and her approval meant the world to him. But his wish for recognition from his birth parents still burned bright at the time, eventually she relented and let him go with the kind smile that she always had in his presence.

Three weeks after that Arachne asked him to eat a strange red orb, that she told him was a soul, but not any soul it was the soul of the Demon God Of Fear And Madness, Asura.

While terrified of the notion of eating a soul, specially the soul of such being, his trust in Arachne was unwavering and the promise of power tempting so he swallowed it whole, he just remember writhing in pain and then blacking out after eating it.

Arachne didn't understand what was happening at first, eating a souls was supposedly a quick and painless process and while eating a full l Kishin soul was likely to have some differences to eating a normal or even a witch's soul the hour-long pain was still unexpected.

But as she felt the fluctuations of his power she soon understood,it seemed that the small amount of chakra in Naruto , was reacting to the power of Asura's soul.

At first she worried that it might destroy his body as it appeared that the energies were fighting inside him and while Asura's was certainly stronger, chakra was deeply integrated in all of this worlds inhabitants, even Naruto, and if suddenly destroyed might cause his death before the Kishin's power could replace it.

But the worry quickly changed into elation as she realized that Asura's power was consuming Naruto's not destroying and that Naruto's power wasn't fighting but nurturing the new power.

It made sense as Naruto's chakra was based on a creature of hatred and madness such as the Kyuubi, the reaction was making the soul's power stronger, for even if the chakra was relatively small compared to the Mad God's power they weren't adding one to another they were multiplying.

With that it more than compensated for the lost power boost from Asura's consumed souls that she had to use to fuel the ritual to cross dimensions, making him reach the power level Asura had at his peak, but didn't know how to use even a portion of it.

After the assimilation was finished, the boy gained many of Asura's characteristics as his skin and hair paled, he got slightly taller, a tattoo shaped as three vertical eyes appeared on his hand and the more remarkable change was the new eye on his forehead, but different from Asura he didn't have eye shapes inside his two regular eyes, they were just the deep crimson he had since the Kyuubi chakra was sealed in him.

Arachne used a slight magic to close the third eye, making it look more like a thin tattooed line , and he had some time to get basic training, as when he was registered into the academy it was vacation period and classes didn't start for three more weeks.

During that time Arachne had him eat most of the souls from the original Kishin that were left from her escape, and that together with the power gained during the assimilation, left Naruto with more raw power than even the Asura.

Unfortunately absorbing the soul of a God has side effects.

Naruto gained a small amount of memories and feelings from the Kishin that were imprinted on the soul, his already weakened psych from neglect and self-doubt was even more damaged, that made him more reclusive, fearful and paranoid, trusting only Okaa-sama, who always comforted him about his various newfound fears.(with Naruto Arachne will be referred to as Okaa-sama)

With the left overs from the Kishin Soul affecting him he was even more broken when even after a trimester of being in the top of the class in everything but nin and gen jutsu his parents still treated him the same, that lead him to give up on the Academy, his grades falling till he was around the lower middle of the class with most of the civilian children.

The only reason that he didn't leave the Academy completely was that since it was now proven that he could be a shinobi ,as the son of the Hokage it was literally his duty, all of the Hokage family was expected to serve at least 3 years as shinobi unless physically or psychologically unable to do so.

As such once put in the Academy, he was now, unlike any other child, not allowed to give up. He never understood why such law was created by the Shodaime.

And so, Naruto has being going to the Academy for the last 3 almost 4 years, sitting as a quiet recluse at the back of the class, without showing his Black Blood or kishin powers during the entire time, as soon as he entered the academy it seems that his more visible presence made his sisters try to connect more.

While he never had anything against them they were never really close, they just never had anything in common and more recently he spent all free time in Arachne's base, so he rejected their tries at getting closer, he didn't need that part of the family now. He had Okaa-sama, she was all he needed.

Today was the day before graduation and the day of the tournament, it was an idea recently implemented by Minato that at the last day before graduation, the graduating classes of the year would have a tournament at the Konoha Stadium, which hosted the Chunin Exams, with only family of the participants and future senseis allowed to watch.

As he entered the room he could hear the loud talking and boasting of the students, most of them weren't even worthy of notice.

Not by coincidence, only the clan children were worthy of some attention, it was rare for anyone from a non clan family, even if from a shinobi one, to become anything more important than the regular chunin and if lucky jonin of Konoha, not that it was impossible as proved by Jiraiya and Orochimaru of the Sannin and Minato Namikaze that were orphans.

The ones of notice could be his sisters, Erza, who now wore almost complete armor set but with a skirt and Mito who still wore a white kimono top but now wore red hakamas in place of pants and for some strange reason wearing getas sandals having a miko-like style going.

Uchihas Sasuke being the son of the head family of the Uchiha was trained since childhood, with Sasuke wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, white shorts and white arm warmers and having black shinobi sandals.

Other than that only perhaps the Nara clan heir could be of interest because of his great intellect, but as he was too lazy to use it he could be ignored for now.

And Hinata, the Hyuuga heiress as she seemed to have something going for him, Hinata wore an open white and lavander jacket showing a small mesh armor shirt that cut at just below her breasts and short jean shorts.

Apparently after some years of abuse and mockery from her family she snapped, she started reacting violently to any form of abuse and since then stopped being the meek girl she was before, getting a much more violent temper.

It seemed that because before he met Okaa-sama he used to comfort her when she would run away from her clan compound from time to time to escape the abuse, and even after meeting Okaa-sama occasionally talked with her, being her only friend, she developed an obsession with him, as it had passed from a normal crush long ago.

Three eyes followed him as he made his way to his seat, after entering the class.

"Onii-san..." said Mito softly as she looked at her estranged twin brother, she regretted not spending more time with him.

She had realized some years ago that he was being neglected, but besides asking her parents if he could join them in training or in family night outs from time to time and letting go when it was denied and having very short talks with him when he used to stay in the compound, now he just disappears for most of the day.

Erza just looked sadly at her slightly elder brother, she had never realized what was happening to him, when she used to see him leaving the clan compound, she thought that he had accepted to never being a shinobi because of his disability and was simply doing his own stuff, moving on. She never really tried talking with him as she couldn't think of where to start a conversation and she was always slightly odd socially, having a stern and enforcing personality.

Hinata just looked at his ass as he passed by her to sit at the back of the room.

After some a couple of minutes Iruka and Mizuki came to take them to the arena as the other teachers each took their respective classes.

As they arrived at the arena the students were directed to the participants booth to wait for their turn to fight

Naruto stayed far from the groups, standing at one of the edges of the booth and looked on as parents and jonin started filling the first row of arena, one in particular, that was heading in their direction with an entire entourage, made Naruto's eyes widen.

Moments earlier

Iruka and Mizuki got stuck with bouncer duty during the tournament, when she arrived, Iruka could only stare at her jaw to the ground, till she lightly coughed in her hand, to bring him back to earth.

"Wha... what? I mean, hello ma'am are you family of which student ?" Iruka said trying to get his composure back, he asked family as he knew she wasn't a jonin of the village.

"Naruto Gorgon." she said with an ever present small smile.

That gave Iruka a pause, there was only one Naruto in the academy and his last name definitively wasn't Gorgon.

"Sorry, but I am afraid we don't have a Naruto Gorgon in the Academy lady." the man said.

"Ah silly me, you should know him by Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze" the woman said with that same smile, but Iruka wasn't so amused.

"Look lady, I don't know what you want but if you wish to get into the arena, at least pick the name of a more unknown family because I know Konoha history and know who Naruto's parents are."

"Yes Naruto-chan's blood parents are quite famous, but even if adopted one still counts as parent to this event no?" she calmly replied. As Iruka was to refuse her entry she continued "If you doubt me you can simply ask the boy, can't you?"

Iruka stopped for a minute before relenting "Fine then, let's go solve this, Mizuki can you cover for me? I have to check something." Mizuki just gave a thumbs up without looking at him as the job wouldn't need two chunins.

Iruka turned to the woman once more said "Follow me" and entered the arena.

Instead of going to Naruto, as he realized that as a ninja he couldn't let someone so suspect close to the future genins, he took her to the Hokage booth where Minato, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina and Hiruzen were seated.

They turned to look at him as he arrived with the woman on tow. Well, excluding Jiraiya, who turned to look but definetely not at him.

"Hokage-sama sorry for the interruption, but we have a small problem" the chunin.

"Hmm, I assume the problem has to do with the lady over there, so what happened?" Minato said with a small smile at the academy teacher.

"Well Hokage-sama, the woman says that she is Naruto's adoptive mother and that his last name is Gorgon" the man said fidgeting because of the awkward situation of explaining that someone you don't know was claiming to be your child's parent.

"WHAT!?" screamed the explosive red-head in the room "Naruto lives with us! What the hell are you talking about emo-lady!" she said, her famous angry and slightly childish temper already showing.

"Well, since I still have manners, let me start with introductions my name is Arachne Gorgon, and can I assure you that Naruto-chan sees me as mother just as I see him as my child. He spends most of the day with me, I am his pillar and I have taught him or helped him with all he knows, different from any of you" Arachne said still with a confident smile. "And per your own laws, as a gennin and not knowing any of the Uzumaki clan secrets he will be more than mature and free enough to decide soon enough won't he?"

Minato and Kushina frown as they realized that they couldn't deny her claim as they didn't know where their son spent most of the day, they just assumed he was with a friend or something like this, with the barrier around Konoha they would know if their son left and there was supposedly nothing in Konoha for the Hokage's child to fear, Minato was always an idealistic.

It wasn't that they believed themselves great parents for their eldest, they knew they weren't being fair or that attentieve with him. But they had to train their daughters to be kunoichis, something they still didn't believe that Naruto could be successfully, and as Jinchuuriki, something they had to be trained for their own safety and that of the entire village.

And they felt that if they spoken with or around Naruto about anything shinobi related it would only hurt and trouble him because of his inability to become a one as they knew he deeply wanted to.

But with him as Hokage and her a renowned kunoichi, in avoiding the topic that most of their life are centered on, it made them to talk less as they had nothing to say, and pay him less attention, eventually becoming too distant from him as they became more engrossed on their own very time consuming jobs and their other children's training and future shinobi career.

They did realize that what they had been doing had been some pretty bad parenting, but only realized how much after the talk about clan succession, and with them being more distant of their son they didn't know how to intervene.

Soon they saw him going out more so they assumed that he had found his own way outside of the shinobi life, which made them happy for him as he was finding his own path and decided not to talk about the clan thing to avoid bad memories and could have beens. Hopeful the family could move on.

"While we made some mistakes that we regret with Naruto we are still his parents woman" Minato said, now coldly.

"Oh, I can assure you that Naruto-chan would disagree, after all a parent is the one that cares, teaches and nurture the child and the one who did that for Naruto was me" Arachne said still smiling but now with narrowed eyes.

Kushina face was as red as her hair that was waving as if alive in the shape of nine tails reacting to her anger, and as she was about to loose it and tear the arrogant noble like woman a new one, said woman spoke again "If you doubt you could always ask Naruto-chan, he is just there after all."

"I don't know why we are even listening to the crazy there, just kick her out and start the tournament" Tsunade said.

"Can you confidently say you know enough about Naruto-chan to declare what I said to be madness, after all besides that he still lives with you what more could you say about him?" replied Arachne.

That actually gave the family a pause, no matter how hard they tried they couldn't dig up a memory about the blonde and that sincerely scared the couple, they both knew they definitively weren't the best parents to the blond but it shouldn't be that bad.

But after a couple of minutes they still couldn't think of anything,"Hm, it seems there is nothing you can tell me about him, I could give you an entire biography, for like I told you I am his real mother" Arachne said, her smile becoming a slight smirk.

"FINE! We will go ask Naruto-kun, and you will see!" loudly declared an aggravated Kushina.

As she got up and hurriedly walked toward the stairs, Minato following as the rest of the group stayed seated.

As soon as Minato was unable to answer the strange woman's question he knew the situation would end badly, specially with Kushina's temper, but still he silently followed his hot-headed wife.

Back with Naruto

Naruto who was still apart from the rest of the students, stared in surprise at the group approaching them, the other genins wannabes murmured around him about the group of two famous ninja and one rather beautiful unknown closing in on the boot.

The group stopped slightly before the boot where Minato nodded to Iruka who yelled "Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze come here for a second!"

Following the command Naruto soon stood slightly fidgeting, though different from what other thought it wasn't only from being in the spotlight, which also bothered him, but mostly because he wanted to go into Okaa-sama's arms as he would stay every time he was with her and not training.

He looked and frowned as he saw Kushina smirk in victory at Okaa-sama's direction, he did not know what was going on but he didn't like her mocking his Okaa-sama. (she smirked because he replied when called Uzumaki-Namikaze)

"What?" he asked simply though not looking at any of the Konoha shinobi, but at either the ground or Arachne, something that they, all trained shinobi, noticed.

"Well, Naruto-san this woman here says she is your mother and that your last name is actually Gorgon" Iruka said.

"Gorgon..." Naruto said softly as his eyes widened before he looked at Arachne, deep adoration in his eyes "Okaa-sama, do you mean..."

The moment that he referred to Arachne as Okaa-sama everyone but her froze, so she hadn't been lying.

"Yes Naruto-chan you are my child after all so that is your name, is it not?" she said her smile more gentle now.

"Yes It is, it is my name, Gorgon, my name." Naruto said softly with unfocused eyes.

Kushina was about to say something before Minato interfered with a firm hand on her shoulder.

He turned to Arachne and said "After the tournament please report to the Hokage tower" his voice while seemly gentle left no room for refusal. After all even if both claim him to be a Gorgon he was part of the Uzumaki clan and you can't just leave a clan like this, and flashed away taking the rest of the group with him.

He knew he would be the target of his wife's anger and pain, but he was still Hokage and they couldn't start such a commotion on a public place.

After they left Arachne turned to the young kishin "All my preparations are done, I am ready to appear to world, now so that means you can show yourself too" she said on the specially smooth voice she had just for him.

"So no more hiding?"the kishin asked, "Yes, no more hiding" the reply.

"Good, I always got nervous thinking that I was going to slip or something would happen then you would be disappointed with me and I wouldn't know how to deal with it" he said looking down, one of the souls that he was given to consume shining through, even if he doesn't realize.

She snaked her arms around him, holding him, as she always did when they were together, rather lanky tall form leaving his head resting at her shoulder now

"Now now Naruto-chan there's no need to fear I am here I will never be disappointed with you, you will always be my greatest source of pride"

She could feel the boy relaxing in her embrace as she talked "Now, we can stay like this the rest of the entire day, after this if you win this tournament, so do show Konoha our power, yes?"

After all she said she trained him so it would give her some prestige if her apprentice was powerful, she felt him nod in her bust.

She slowly released him, kissed his forehead and walked away.

As Naruto was walking back to the participants stand a certain dog, (who was the only one that heard what was said before because of his clan's hearing) had to open his mouth "Hey mute, didn't know you were a mama's boy, though it looks like you had to find one to be your mother as the original didn't want you"

If this words made Naruto angry the next made him livid "But she is hot though, maybe I will visit her later, I bet she will dump you for me in a snap" Now, Kiba didn't mean to sound that cruel it was mostly to bully the quiet kid a little, though even him thought that it sounded better in his head, as it came out quite cruel.

But it's never a good idea to try bullying a Demon God, and the part of Okaa-sama dumping him hit close to his greatest fear, and as he was now Demon God of Fear even if he managed some control over the madness, he still felt a inhumane amount of paranoia at the mentioning of his fear and channeled as anger at the dog who dared talk about his Okaa-sama like that.

The blond just turned to look at Kiba and said his voice burning with anger to hide his insecurity

"If we are matched together I will kill you" he stated as more of a fact than a threat, madness and hysteria clear in his eyes, from the idea of Okaa-sama leaving him.

He then went back to the wall far from the rest of the students, who just looked nervously at him, as the way he had said it left little doubt that he would do it and the look in his eyes worried some of them.

Time-skip

Most of the students had already fought by now, with only Shino Aburame, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanka, a strange boy named Sai and the triplets still on the tournment each having fought at least once, mostly against some of the unimpressive cannon fodder as Naruto referred to almost every student than the ones he said before were of interest or other clan children from other classes.

And the screen that decided the matches stopped once again showing two names, surprise rung in the stadium, not only from the chosen but also from the last name of one of them.

Naruto Gorgon and Mito Uzumaki-Namikaze.

As soon as people read the names sound filled the stadium.

Everyone asking, commenting and making uninformed theories about the name of the boy, after all though the populace may hate him, they knew his family name it definitively wasn't Gorgon.

In the Hokage booth, said Hokage called the Anbu to check how the name was changed, after all even if his son wanted to, and it hurt to admit that he wanted, Naruto couldn't leave the Uzumaki clan without permission from the Clan Head, who was Kushina, as such his name was still Uzumaki-Namikaze till Kushina acceptance of him leaving the clan, and knowing his wife that would never happen.

In the participants booth, everyone left turned to looked at Naruto, his sisters both looking troubled.

"Onii-san, why is you name different?"Mito asked uncertain.

"It's Okaa-sama's name, she gave it to me" Naruto replied looking calm and happy, the first time any in the class seen him like this.

"But Kaa-chan name is Uzumaki...?" Mito continued, she had an idea of what it could be about, after all, though they couldn't hear they speaking, everyone saw Naruto hugging the unknown beautiful woman after the Hokage's entourage left, they saw she kissing his forehead before leaving that coupled with what Kiba said to Naruto gave her a theory of what was happening.

"Your mother is not my Okaa-sama" was Naruto's reply without turning to look at her and kept walking towards the arena.

Mito just flinched as her guess was more or less confirmed and started going down as well, she decided that may as well try to convince him to return to the family during the fight, the power to befriend those you are fighting against is almost a Uzumaki kekkei genkai.

As the two of them stopped, standing in front of each other in the middle of the arena, Mito started talking.

"I know that our family hasn't been good to you Nii-san but I will convince you to at least give us one more chance and even if the other don't take it and continue to treat you bad, I shall be the greatest sister from then on!" she decided on the spot and said with conviction.

Naruto just looked blankly at her.

"Is that the madness originated from love that I heard about? Only one completely mad would think that could work" he said more curiously than mocking.

Mito didn't see that way though, and even if she is the most calm of the women in the family, which didn't really mean anything, she is still a Uzumaki woman who were famous for their temperaments.

So being so casually called crazy soon had her hair waving and her face red, much like her mother when angry.

"It seems talking won't get me nowhere for now so I will convince you with my fists!" she proclaimed.

"That is even more insane" Naruto commented with a deadpan.

"Begin!" sounded the till now forgotten proctor of the tournament, that was a Chunin teacher of another class of the academy.

(Not confident on fighting scenes but I will try)

As soon as he finished yelling Mito dashed at Naruto, hopping to finish it quick with a downgraded version of the chakra enhanced punch she learned from Tsunade.

She quickly got within striking range while he still hadn't even formed a stance yet and prepared to finish with the punch so she could make amends with him later.

But when the punch was inch from his nose he bent backwards at an uncomfortable angle, his head touching the floor, before doing an inverse spinning kick using his head as axis to spin and kicking his sister away at the wall of the arena.

Slowly getting up, Mito quickly shook her head to get it back together and looked surprised at her brother.

She hadn't been expecting that.

While she regretted it, she knew he had no training from their parents or any Jonin from the village as her father would know, so she had expected him to be around the level of the students from civilian families, and most of them wouldn't have been able to even react to her speed.

She got up and took her Whirlpool Wild Fist stance, the ancient Uzumaki style, and flooded chakra across her body.

Now she was sure that her brother wouldn't be able to react after all, after all she trained to exhaustion in taijutsu and had her potent chakra running through her system, making her stronger, something that was unfortunately impossible for her brother.

So she quickly sped towards him sending a combo of quick punches and kicks at him, but through all of her attacks he kept bending without removing his feet from the ground or lightly slapping her attacks away.

Because though her power may be great for a human, already at a Kakashi without sharingan level at such young age, he holds the power of a god.

After ten minutes of this, tired and frustrated, Mito jumped and kicked both feet at Naruto who blocked the attack, which was just as she intended as she used his arms as a stepping stone to throw herself in the air where she started making hand signs.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" she yelled as a giant ball of fire flied down at Naruto, as everyone prepared to interfere to stop any great injury as Naruto froze at the fire ball coming at him, Arcahne smiled.

She understood what was going on, Naruto had never been in a true fight before, caught glimpses of fights from the memories of Asura's soul yes but never truly being in a fight and so when he saw that ball of fire he froze in fear, and she knew that just like Asura used to, he would instinctively try to destroy the source of his fear.

And her prediction came through as with a scream one of the ends of Naruto's scarf moved like lighting dispersing the fire ball in one second and extending to attack the still airborne Mito in another, hitting the girl from above and sending her crashing down violently to the ground.

The stadium was in silence.

Nobody believed that it was possible for the chakraless and untrained child of the Yondaime to defeat the holder of the Yang of the Kyuubi and personally trained by said Yondaime Mito.

Minato soon flashed with Tsunade to where Mito had fallen, to check on her, there was a broken arm that she instinctively tried to use to stop the fall and two broken ribs as fell on her right side, Minato frowned looking at her as Tsunade healed her and turned to ask his son of where that power came from.

But looking to where Naruto was standing a second before there was only empty space.

Looking around he found him in the arms of that Arachne woman and his frown deepened, he was a experienced shinobi so he recognized the scream and the way Naruto was acting.

He was acting like a genin who saw his entire team killed by a Kage, there were some in the last war, they normally never truly recovered as the difference of power between a genin and a Kage is so enormous that most after witnessing such happening become afraid of their own shadow.

While he could understand some self-doubt after his realization of his and Kushina's treatment of him, but this amount of fear wasn't normal. It had to have something to do with that woman, and he would do something about it, as unlike some may think he did love his son.

As he looked at her with narrowed eyes, she looked back strait at his eyes and smirked.

Somewhere in the Land of Sound

All of his subordinates thought Orochimaru had been acting strage lately, well more strange than usual.

While he kept with his inhumane experiments, they were now none about immortality as without even Kabuto knowing he somehow perfected the Living Corpse Reincarnation Justu, breaking the three years limits of body duration to normal life-span.

Then, with some new kind of power that he called Magic, managed to make so that his life-span was ridiculously long, though the exact number is unknown to said subordinates.

But even more strange than all of that was that before he finished perfecting the Justu he had to change body 7 times, because of some troubles with self-experimentation, and all seven times he demanded that the body was that of a woman, while he only cared about strength of the host not the sex of it he now was demanding it to be a woman.

If there was questions about the Sennin's sexuality before, now it was obvious.

Even now after the jutsu was perfected, the body he was inhabiting was that of woman, that he had later modified to have slightly dark blonde hair and while not glaring still curvacious body, with skin while still pale with more color than his old pasty one and snake tattoos on "her" arms, his eyes were still the same though.

No one knew exactly why but ''she'' seemed obsessed with finding something in Konoha and not destroying the village as it normally was, she was heard saying something about "not letting her get her way this time" who was her and getting her way with what nobody knew.

What nobody knew was that around 7 years ago, a strange snake entered Orochimaru's lair, and since then the one they served hasn't actually been the Sennin.

Orochimaru had sensed the snake when it entered his room but didn't give it much thought, after all his base was covered in them and he was in the middle of an important research about the Edo Tensei.

So, with him distracted, the snake slowly approached and when close enough it striked quicker than any normal snake biting the Sennin's ankle.

After a surprised gasp he quickly killed the snake, as it was a species that he didn't recognize he performed some basic experiments to see if there was anything troubling about it, but with no poison or toxin found on himself or on the snake corpse and with showing no signs of presenting any danger he soon lost interest in it and forgot about the strange reptile.

For Medusa, the snake, while harder than with the child she inhabited before, it was still easy to take over Orochimaru's as he had divided his own soul numerous times.

She just had to slowly, so she wasn't noticed, destroy the original from the corner before attacking the center in strength and destroy it before he could try to stop it, after that it was easy destroy the other pieces by the spiritual connection they had with the original.

And so the Snake Sennin was no more and the Snake Witch lived again, and this time she would control the Kishin.

Yeah that's it for now, I want to get some opinions before writing another chapter as it's my first fanfiction and if decide to continue writhing I have some other ideas I want to do but first want hear how you guys think I went.
