Roman Fox: Bioshock Edition -

Naruto step into the workshop of Frank the druid following said druid into the room. The His team followed him to keep an eye on him. Both Sakura and Sasuke were still in a state of shock finding out that Naruto has the fox seal inside of him. Kakashi wanted to keep an eye on Naruto and what the druid Frank would do in his workshop. The workshop in question looks to be still being unpack, as there are boxes and stacks of books on the floor. Kakashi did notice what looks like a shine with a picture of a pale dark hair young woman dress all in black.

"Frank who have you brought with you?" a woman's voice ask.

The ninjas were taken aback as a tall, beautiful, young woman with a slender but curvy figure much like the others in her clan. She has black hair wrapped into a beehive-like hairdo and gray eyes with a mole located at bottom of her left cheek close to her lips. Her main attire is composed of a skin-tight suit that has a rose design on the abdomen with long white gloves, black and gray heels, thin gold chains, three small belts strapped on each arm, and a pair of gold, cat-shaped earrings. It also doesn't leave anything to the imagination. Her glasses that have the design of butterfly wings close to the lenses. Bayonetta wears an Umbran Watch over her bust that contains a red jewel thought to be the Left Eye. Four metal symbols are attached to her hair, three of them in the shape of the crescent moon and the other is the symbol of the Umbra Witches. Bayonetta also has a hair ribbon wrapped around her hairdo that extends down to to her legs.

"These are the ninjas we have been hearing about. The young man in the orange has a demon sealed inside of him. I want to see if it can be unsealed from him and be place someone safer," Frank said.

"I'm Bayonetta of the Umbra Witches order. We been apart of the Roman empire since the Metroa kingdom," she introduced herself.

"Metroa kingdom?" Kakashi ask.

"We weren't always known as Roman but as Metroa before Sinclair appeared out of the ocean. The armor the soldiers wore at that time was a prefect match for another empire called the Roman's. The emperor at that time learned about them from Sinclair and learned how they're the base for how governments works for much of the following cultures that came after them. Once the empire was reborn into a new more technology one, he renamed the empire into the Roman empire," Frank answers. (1)

"Who's Sinclair?" Kakashi ask knowing it be useful.

"Here," Bayonetta said as she throws him a small book.

"What?" Kakashi ask opening the book and blinks seeing it's a child's history book with pictures.

"A little history book about the early years when Sinlair first appeared," Bayonetta said not wanting to talk about something she has no interest in explaining.

"I can't read this," Kakashi said looking through the book. Which got him smack in the face with another book. Looking at it the book looks to be a book to teach young children to read.

"Bayonetta you are skilled in sealing magic. What do you think of the seal?" Frank ask.

"Let's see," Bayonetta said as she bends over looking at Naruto while showing off her butt off. Causing both Sakura and Sasuke to blush as her outfit looks painted on her. She places her hand on Naruto's belly and a glow appeared on her hand. She then gets back up and looks at Frank. "It's a very advanced seal on him. It will take much work and power to unseal it without harming him. There is also something else but not sure what it is."

"So you can't just get the fox out of me?" Naruto ask.

"Sorry but it isn't going to be quick. Unless one of the Endless decides to help out," Bayonetta said shrugging her shoulders causing her ample breasts to jiggle which both Sakura and Sasuke eyes were lock onto. Even Kakashi was uneasy around her with how sexy she is.

"Endless?" Naruto ask the only one not being distracted by all the sexy.

"Beings that are beyond gods. We discovered them and abandon all the old fates of gods that never answer or just see use as their toys to do as they please. For we discovered from the Endless once people stop believing in the gods they just disappear. While the Endless can never fade till there isn't anything left to remember what they represent. They are the anthropomorphic personification of the concept of their namesakes. They have seen civilizations from many worlds raise and fall and Death the one in the painting of the shrine is the one who will turn off the light and lock the door once this universe ends," Frank explains.

"Would she help me?" Naruto ask staring at the painting.

"Sometimes they help, which makes them to have fate in," Bayonetta adds.

"Death please help me get rid of the fox inside of me. For payment just ask what you want of me," Naruto said staring at the painting.

"Really?" the painting spoke causing everyone in the room to jump. The pale woman in the painting pulled herself out of it leaving behind a blank spot where she use to be.

"Death thank you for gracing us with your presents," both Frank and Bayonetta said falling to their knees to Death.

"Now, now there's no need for that," Death said to the two magic users. She turns her attention back to Naruto as the other three ninjas in the room could only watch.

"Hello," Naruto greeted her.

"You're willing to do what, I ask you to do for me to take the fox out of you?" Death ask.

"Yes," Naruto said. "What do you want?"

"Spend a day with me," Death said surprising the ninjas who are use to deals costing a leg or their soul.

"Ok," Naruto agreed.

"Then lets go," Death said as she teleported both of them away.

"What just happen?" Kakashi ask being the only ninja able to speak.

"Death has agreed to help that boy Naruto. He will return by tomorrow or when a day for them has past," Frank answers.

"Can she really take the fox out of Naruto?" Sakura ask.

"I heard the 4th Hokage summon the reaper to do the sealing," Sasuke ask.

"The reaper you speak of is nothing more then a pretender. The only reason Death allows others to use her title is that others doing her work for her gives her more free time," Bayonetta explains. (2)

Elsewhere -

Naruto found himself in what looks like a restaurant. Looking around he saw that the tables are filled with people, mainly dress in robes or wearing black. He also saw some of them are armed with a scythe. Looking closer he was shock seeing some of the people are skeletons. And the workers of the restaurant are skeletons wearing uniforms.

"Where are we?" Naruto ask Death.

"Oh we're at the Restful Reaper a little hole in the wall where reapers can stop by for something to eat. Everyone here is a reaper or an avatar of death from other universes. Since we're going to spend the day together what is better to start things off by having something to eat," Death said. (3)

"Do you need to eat?" Naruto ask.

"No but, I still like eating," Death said as she leads him to a empty table.

As they walk to the table, Naruto saw how the other people in the restaurant were giving Death the respect he saw the villagers give to the Hokage. He guess for other deaths she is very high ranking. They both sat at the table and a skeleton handed both of them menus and waited for them to order.

"Hello Death," a man sitting nearby said. He was a standard looking Grim Reaper but with a goofy looking face.

"Lord Death, I thought you couldn't leave that school of yours," Death greeted him.

"Not on my own," he answers.

"No, I'm the one who help him leave," another reaper said sitting at the same table "I needed time alone without those kids."

"Now Grim you're the one who made the bet to be their friends forever for the soul of a sick hamster," a woman sitting nearby dress in a black robe but has a skeleton head on an otherwise normal looking body.

"Even if it was for something no other reaper would ever make a bet for," a horse skull reaper said who is dress like a cowboy.

"You made a bet for a sick hamster?" Naruto ask Grim.

"He sure did. He's the worse death there is!" a reaper dressed as a biker shouted out causing the rest of the reapers to burst out laughing at Grim.

"He does make me look better for spraining my ankle that one time chasing that fat guy Peter," another reaper adds.

"The lack of class is most disappointing," a pale man dress in a black robe said.

"At least he sets the standards for other reapers. Isn't that right River," a young blue haired woman dress in a pink robe said to the purple skin girl sitting next to her.

"You got that right," River Styxx agreed.

"There is always one for every group," a reaper dress in red said.

"Find if you all think you're so hot. How about someone here trade places with me? Grim shouted out causing the room to fall silent. "I thought so. None of you would last a day in my shoes dealing with those two monsters."

"Who is he talking about?" Naruto ask Death.

"Billy and Mandy. Mandy is just plain scary and Billy is a complete moron. Who is so stupid that he's banned from ever entering either heaven or hell. He would go to heaven as he's technically sinless but being who he is no one wants him. And for sending him to hell. He ended up there once and everyone there soon learn to fear his moronic behavior. He dove 189 different hell lords insane and that was just in one day. He's now mark as a wandering spirit free to roam where ever he wants as long as its far away. As for Mandy once she gets to Hell, she'll make her move to take it over," Death explains.

"Oh," Naruto said as he orders his food as does Death.

"So what do you want to see?" Death ask him as they waited for their food.

"Me?" Naruto ask.

"I seen it all but having someone like you around might make it fun again," Death said.

"How about we see what the rest of your family is doing?" Naruto ask.

"Well it has been awhile since, I seen them," Death said. "We can make some side trips as we go."

The entire restaurant fell silent as a new figure walk through the door. Naruto look around to see a dark haired man had entered and all the reapers had the look of fear on their faces, even Death sitting with him. He's dress in a long dark-green overcoat that only accented his size which is well over 7 feet tall and towered above everyone else in the building. He has the proportionate bulk for his height. A thick utility belt is wrapped around his waist and though he didn't show any weapons on him, he gave off the feel of fear and darkness radiating off of him in invisible waves. Naruto couldn't see his face because of the faceless white metal mask he wore. He also wore a pitch black top hat that cast a shadow over his mask that made him seem even taller then he already was.

The man walk pass the tables with the reapers doing their best not to get his attention. He stop at the counter and the skeleton there nervusly handed him a box. The man took it and walk back out of the building. Once he did so everyone reaper let out the breath they were holding.

"Who was that?" Naruto ask.

"Naruto you see as deaths it's our job to at the end of a universe lifespan to turn off the light and lock the door. That man there is the one that gives death to Death. And once the tree of one universe and all the other universes of it's branches reaches the end of it's life, he's the one who uproots the tree so a new seed of a universe can replace it," Death explains to him.

"Then why are all of you scared of him?" Naruto ask.

"He's not only our death but he's the one who plants the seed of darkness within every seed so there will always be evil. And the main reason we're all scared of him is that he's all business. He doesn't like people wasting his time and won't think of anything of killing you if you do so. There are people that you should never mess with and he's one of those people. No he is the one person you must never mess with," Grim explains.

"So he's evil?" Naruto ask.

"No he's not. It's his job to be the one who controls evil as there's someone who's job it is to make sure there's always good. Too much of any is very bad. I have been to places where there is no good and other places where there is no evil. And both are worse then hell for those who actually understand the concept of either, not that either type last long. Without him or his sister placing both evil and good to balance each other, none of the universes would be able to survive," Lord Death explains.

"So everyone fears him because of his job," Naruto said seeing how hard it would be for him to be close to anyone with a job like that.

"That and he's scary powerful. If there is anyone more powerful then he is, the only one who knows is him and the rest of his family. And he's not the chatty type to talk about it. He also has the power to destroy anything to do with gods, demons, beings like myself and others beyond mortals understanding. It doesn't matter what kind of power the being he kills with his axe of his, one scratch with that axe and that's it. The one killed by him is completely erased with nothing left of them. Everyone's memory of that being is just an outline of someone who has been erased by him, with nothing to even remember but a blank to mark their passing. There is nothing able to bring them back but for him if he allow it to being them back," Grim explains seeing what Naruto is thinking.

"Why is he so powerful?" Naruto ask.

"He's a domain holder. As long as it's his domain he can't ever be hurt or stop in anyway. Like how me and my siblings are the ones who makes the rules in our domains, no matter how powerful anyone is, even more powerful then me for example. Doesn't matter as it's our domain and we're the ones who make the rules there. And since every single universe has his hand in its creation, it's all his," Death explains.

"And the sad part is that he's still better then almost all the gods," Grim adds.

"Wait does that mean... he's the one true god?" Naruto ask.

"Forget it. No one but him knows who's stands above him. And he never answers that question ever," Death said.

"What is his name?" Naruto ask.

"He's Darkhat one of the 7 Hats who maintains the balance of all universes and each holds a different virtue. He's the eldest who controls evil, who ends all and virtue is Temperance, as no one has ever seen him lose control of himself ever or lived to tell it if they had. Tophat the second eldest controls order, time and virtue is Humility. Madhat controls chaos, madness and virtue is Charity. Fighthat controls power, emotions and virtue is Chastity. Brutehat controls creation, destruction and virtue is Diligence. Mindhat controls knowledge, imagination and virtue is Patience. Magichat the youngest controls hope, life and virtue is Kindness," Death explains.

"I know how about we visit them as well," Naruto suggested as he would never get a chance to do so again.

"Alright but remember to behave," Death said wondering how this will work out.

!

Delirium -

Naruto and Death found themselves in a strange world. Nothing made any sense as the world never remained the same, land became sky and sky became water and not made sense. Then a pale skin man with dirty blonde hair, wearing black and white stripes appeared in front of them.

"Beetlejuice," Death said seeing the ghost with the most.

"Hey babe," Beetlejuice greeted Death before looking down at Naruto. "Who's the kid?"

"Meet Naruto and he's spending the day with me. Do you know where my sister is?" Death ask.

"Oh sure she's at the tea party," Beetlejuice said. "I got kick out because they say seeing me eat makes them not want to eat."

Beetlejuice pulls out a large beetle and opens his mouth wide...

Naruto cringed seeing him eat the beetle.

"Hey stop cutting away like that!" Beetlejuice shouted out as his entire cartoon run no one ever saw him eat a bug. And even in fan fiction he can't be shown eating a beetle.

"Death?" Naruto ask wondering what's happening.

"Don't mind him. He's just breaking the 4th wall," Death said.

"You two can walk or take a bus ride from Ms. Frizzle," Beetlejuice said pointing to the redhead teacher driving a big yellow school bus.

"Hi Death! Need a lift?" Ms. Frizzle shouted from the window of the bus.

"That would be nice. Ms. Frizzle are you here for a field trip?" Death ask as she and Naruto got into the bus.

"Not today just passing through. This place is always such fun," Ms. Frizzle said as she drove the bus through the air or ground depending on what the land scarp was at the moment.

The bus stop at the only piece of land that remained the same. A large garden where many tables have been setup and many people in all shapes and forms are having fun. Naruto seeing what the people are blink as all of them are very strange in how they look or how they're dress.

"Naruto this is a mad tea party. So be careful as anything and everything will and can happen," Death said leading him off the bus.

"Have fun," Ms. Frizzle said as she drove off.

"Hi Death!" a teenager girl said as she appeared in front of the two. What Naruto noticed the most about her besides her wild outfit, is her hair that came in dark turquoise, mint green, and lavender.

"Naruto meet, Madeline Hatter the daughter of the Mad Hatter," Death introduced her to him.

"You two are just in time for the party," Madeline said.

"We're here to see my sister," Death said.

"Oh she's at the main table with Madhat," Madeline said.

"He's here?" Death ask with a slight twitch.

"Yup he's the one hosting the party," Madeline said giggling. "He's always so much fun to be around. He is the first mad hat there is."

"Led the way," Death said seeing there's no point in waiting around.

"Follow me," Madeline said as she leads them through all the tables and flying tea sets.

At the main table Naruto saw a strange looking man, standing on the back of a chair without it falling over. He's wearing an open long sleeved purple jacket, blue overalls, with the legs tuck into orange colored boots. The sleeves are wrap around his body like a straightjacket. He also wore a green top hat with red bands running across it like a candy cane. He wore a pair of yellow goggles that die his eyes from veiw. His lower face was painted like that of a clown but instead of white face paint it was yellow-green paint covering his lower face. Two blue triangles dotted his two cheeks were the only other paint on his face. Two planks of wood are strap to his back by two belts that crisscrossed his chest under his tied up arms making an X shape on his back. And a rope was on each end of the planks connected to one of his limbs like a puppet. His legs are wrap with many belts almost hiding his legs from view making sure that the only way that he'll be able to move around was by hopping.

Next to him is a young girl a bit older then Naruto but only how she appeared to Naruto that is. Dress in dirty clothes that are completely mix matched, while her body is perfectly clean. Her eyes are two different colors green and blue that went with her rainbow colored hair.

"Sister you came," Delirium said as she looks up from where she rested her head on the table.

"Naruto here agreed to spend the day with me and he wanted to meet the rest of the family," Death said.

"Don't forget meeting my family," Madhat said as he made the table to grow bigger and two chairs appeared. "Have a seat you two."

"What about Madeline?" Naruto ask.

"Oh don't worry, I'm sitting with my family," Madeline said pointing to another table where he father sat along with counterparts from other universes. She walk to the table to join in on the fun.

"Taking Naruto on a tour of the many different universes," Madhat ask serving the two tea and cookies.

"Well, I seen just about everything so he's the one who deciding where we're going," Death said.

"Seen just about everything?" Naruto ask then stop as he watches a flying elephant fly by. "Was that a flying elephant?"

"Yup. Give up on logic while you're in my realm. Nothing makes sense but don't worry, I'm not going let bad things happen to you while you're here," Madhat said to him before making name cards appeared around the table. "Here let me introduce you to the other people here."

"Over there is Princess Uni-Kitty," Madhat pointed to a cat with a horn that looks to be made out of colorful blocks.

"Q," Madhat said to the one sitting next to the cat. A man dress in a black and red uniform.

"Discord," a mismatch of animal parts.

"Mr. Mxyzptlk," a strange looking small man wearing a purple hat.

"His wife Gsptlsnz," the tall redhead woman sitting next to him.

"Bat Mite," another small man who dress like a bat.

"And Excalibur," who is completely white thing and dresses in white as well.

"Wait where is Impossible Man?" Death ask.

"He's with the toons and having a toon fight," Madhat said.

"Oh," Death said remembering what happens during one of those fights.

"Don't worry no anvils or bombs are going to ruin this party," Madhat said. "Besides that what happen the last party, I threw."

"I thought you like that kind of thing," Gsptlsnz said.

"Yes, I do but, I do like having a party without it becoming a big mess once in awhile. Besides having a perfectly normal party is all part of who, I am," Madhat said.

"And what's that?" Naruto ask.

"Never give them what they expect, so me having a perfectly normal party is out there for me," Madhat said as an RV came crashing into the garden. "Okay as normal as it gets for me."

"Hello," a breaded man shouted as he pops out of the RV along with a big lizardman, a tiger and a slice of pizza.

"Uncle Grampa," everyone at the party shouted.

"Yeah he's here!" Bat-Mite shouted as he flew off to join Uncle Grampa and his friends.

"Does this happen alot?" Naruto ask.

"Yes," Death deadpanned.

"The fox within, waiting for release. Cruel fate handed down by thy parents. So sad you are so sad. Masking your sadness with a mask of happiness. Keeping you from my realm," Delirium said.

"What?" Naruto ask.

"Each of my family have a realm and while everyone enters my realm in due time. Anyone can enter either of their realms and her realm is madness," Death explains.

"What kind of madness depends on what happen to you and what you decide on," Madhat adds. "I seen it before."

"Seen it before?" Naruto ask eyes widening.

"Yes, as you can see there are many different worlds out there. So there are many different yous around. The most common type, I have seen are the ones who just forgive everything and be the all loving hero that your parents wanted you to be, to protect the village they gave up everything even you for. Others are much more fun to watch, like you abandoning the village or joining another one. Some have you giving up being a ninja all together. While others have you become a monster that you decided that if everyone is treating you as one why not be one," Madhat explains.

"My parents?" Naruto eyes widening.

"Now, now. We don't want to overwhelm him," Discord said.

"After all he is just a human after all," Q adds.

"FOOLS! He won't get a chance like this again anytime soon. He needs to take advantage of it while he can," Excalibur shouted out.

"Who are my parents?" Naruto ask looking at Madhat.

"I must warn you first. This isn't the first or will it be the last time, I told you who your parents are. Some take it well, while others don't. And some enter a state of madness which, I am all for but lately too many of yous have fallen into a state of madness where it's not that interesting anymore," Mahat said to him.

"I got to know," Naruto said.

"Visit Fighthat next," Madhat said looking at Death.

"Right," Death said.

"Minato and Kushina the Hokage and his wife. Both of them are your parents and Minato is the one who talk your mother into agreeing to seal the fox inside of you even knowing what will happen to you. For that's how the ninja world works. Even if one has to use their own child to save their village they will," Madhat stated to a shock Naruto.

!

Despair -

Naruto was lead out of the portal by Death leaving the party behind them. Naruto was left in a state of shock learning that it was his parents who gave him the life he had lived up to now. All for the sake of a village who thinking about it many would have known who his parents are and he's their child but did nothing to help him when he needed it. No one cared that he's the son of the heroes who saved their lives and their village, all they saw him as. Is the fox.

"Sure despair coming from that one," a voice that is little more then a whisper said..

Naruto look around and saw that Death had taken him to the top of a tall building in a coastal city. Standing in the middle of a rooftop garden is a short, fat, pale, ugly, naked woman. The only think she's wearing is a ring with a hook attached to it. And she wasn't alone.

Next to her in a chair is a younger pretty woman who looks like she was relaxing before they came. Her body is lean and firm with muscle, her entire figure is graceful and powerful. A long jade braided ponytail flowed out from underneath a violet top hat. The ponytail is weighted down at the end by a large studded steel ball that reached well past her knees if she was standing. She wore a skin tight blue bodysuit for maximum movement. What she wore over that is a golden-yellow leather vest and shorts that were held up by a pair of green suspenders. She had on fingerless fighting gloves with metal knuckles and combat boots with steel toes.

"But he still can overcome it. If he has the will to do so," the another woman said getting up from the chair she was sitting on.

"Despair it's surprising that you're here with Fighthat," Death said.

"I wanted to save you the trouble in finding me. After all he has fallen into my realm many times before," Despair said eying Naruto. "I want to see if he will fall deeper like his other selves have done before."

"Good thing you brought him to me," Fighthat said. "That brother of mine never learns."

"Well, I can't have him being depress for the rest of the day can, I," Death said.

"What can you do?" Naruto ask looking up at Fighthat as she walks up to him.

"Well while, I could just make it that you were never born in that world of yours and have a normal childhood. Doing so would make the you standing in front of me to never have been born in that world you came from. Unless you want to keep who you are if, I do so. Or, I can help you so that when you return to your world, you'll be strong to face what life throws at you," Fighthat said.

"Make me stronger?" Naruto ask.

"Yes for you see Despair over there is what all beings face even beings like me. Life is a battle that you always must face to continue to live. I will give you a power that few have gain on their own. But since, I am the one who keeps power in check, I can give you any kind of power that, I want or you want. With no strings or any hardships that you expecting. It's for you to do as you please," Fighthat said as she places her hand on his head and a rainbow of energy poured into him.

"What was that?" Naruto ask feeling something inside of him.

"I gave you the power you need," Fighthat said. "And remember you must never lose all hope. For hope is the most powerful thing in any universe. Despair is many things but she does give you something if you're strong enough to get out of her realm. And that is renewing hope that you have lost."

"What power did you give me?" Naruto ask.

"I gave you the power to see who you can trust. Who you can put your faith in knowing that they won't betray you or just using you. You will know who your friends are and who only see you as a tool to be used," Fighthat said as she handed him a small booklet.

"How to use the Dragon Tear?" Naruto said reading the title.

"I find it better just to explains things rather then being a trickster mentor. Teaching someone a lesson by tricking them to learn it does work if they needed the right mindset to learn it. But for others withholding information and resources that could have easily solved prior problems. And that mentors who do so find out that their student have completely lost all faith in them. Or in a few cases like when a purple unicorn thought that her teacher meant something else when she said to make some friends. She ended up making robots that killed her teacher's sister. So, I'm just explaining things and not hiding anything that could have help you earlier," Fighthat said. (4)

"Giving him a book in how to use the power you gave him? Isn't that just lazy?" Death ask.

"If you were him wouldn't you like a book explaining how to use your powers that you were just given. Not everyone just knows how to use their powers, unlike us," Fighthat said.

"Yes many have fallen into despair when they make a mistake that cost them dearly," Despair said.

"Many times because the one who was helping them held back information or something that they needed, simply because they wanted to teach a lesson. I derailed many plots simply because, I help the student more then the mentor ever did and always told them what they needed to know. And had them train with the item that the other mentor wouldn't have given them till they pass a test," Fighthat said. "Besides, I seen more then my share of ninjas, magic users, robot pilots and a Jedi knight turning evil or just abandoning everything because they're sick of all the stuff their mentors were putting them through. And it's only then when it's too late does the mentor in question finally got the idea that maybe they should have treated their student better and be more honest with them. But of course most of the time it's too late to get the student to trust the mentor enough to be able to defeat the evil they were suppose to have defeated."

"It has happen many time?" Naruto ask looking up from the book.

"Yes it has. Death you should see Desire next. Desire is in a world where the mentor because of how they acted caused everything to fall apart," Fighthat said opening a portal.

"Thanks," Death said walking to the portal.

"Thank you for your gift," Naruto said following Death.

"Don't mention it," Fighthat said.

"Did you really needed to give him that power?" Despair ask.

"He will play a key role in what his world is going to face. Besides, I never like those trees found in those worlds. Besides cutting off branches or the whole tree because of those weeds killing and spreading too much, is always a pain," Fighthat said.

Desire -

Both Death and Naruto found themselves in the ruins of a city that Death recognized as London. Death cast a spell around them preventing anyone from seeing and hearing them and more importantly prevented Naruto from being harmed. The sounds of battle are all around them, Naruto was scared as he saw there's a battle going around them. A group of people riding brooms flew overhead as a helicopter gunship flew after them firing it's weapons shooting down many in the group. From a hole blown in the wall, Naruto saw soldiers carrying guns forcing a group of people dress in robes to march down the street.

"Where are we?" Naruto ask.

"London by the looks of things," Death answers.

"Correct," a man or a woman said appearing in front of them. He/she is dress in a red suit that matches his/her hair and has pale skin. Naruto couldn't tell if the person in front of him is a man or a woman.

"What brings you here?" Desire ask.

"Fighthat told us to see you," Death said.

"Oh her," Desire said. "She must have meant who has fallen into our sister's realm after being in mine for so long."

Desire lead them through the ruins to what's left of a living room. At the fireplace trying to keep warm, sits an old man dress in worn and ragged robes. He is Dumbledore once the headmaster of a magic school before everything came apart because of his desire to have things go as he had wanted them to go. Potter after putting up with him keeping things hidden and never explaining things, with a entire year's worth of bad communication ends in the worst way possible. All of his friends dead thanks to Dumbledore plans and allowing known Death Eaters continue to enter the school, just because the government are bought off. Potter gave up with him and all of England's wizards with their outdated ways. He emptied his bank account and transferred it to an American branch and moved to that country that the magic users are more modern in how they do things. Leaving the wizards of England to deal with Voldemort which quickly got out of hand where the muggles learning about the magic world from all the damage and killings the wizards on Voldemort side were doing.

Now the wizards are learning how powerful the modern weapons and armies are compared to their magic. The muggles simply have more numbers and are much better at fighting then the wizards. Now the muggle army is sweeping through all the magic strongholds and killing or taking wizards to prisons. They're getting help from the American wizards who unlike the old world wizards have long maintain ties with their muggle counterpart. Instead of pretending that what happens in the muggle world doesn't effect them in anyway. With their help they came up with an EMP like weapon that works on magic and magical creatures. Now the UN army is rounding up all wizards to be sorted out later. The magic agents employed by the muggle governments are using the anti magic devices they created to depower the wizards they came across. As too many times Death Eaters pretended to be just normal wizards before attacking. Now the orders are to detain any wizards and be sorted out later.

"Dumbledore here had tried to keep control of everything until the very end. Where his wand was destroyed thanks to a sniper round. Now powerless and unable to fight he just sits here waiting to be taken prisoner. His desire to be the one in control has lead his world into ruin. The boy who could have make things turn all right is now helping to bring this world down so something else can be built in its place," Desire explains.

"Sometimes things just have to be rebuilt from scratch," Death agreed.

"So this is what happens if a mentor doesn't give their student the help they wanted?" Naruto ask seeing the broken old man.

"Yes it does. Sometimes a mentor does need to keep things from their student till they're ready to learn it or be able to handle it on an emotional level," Desire said.

"Is the Hokage doing the same thing to me?" Naruto ask.

"Yes he is. He's keeping things from you so that by the time you learn, you'll be too attach to the village to leave it," Desire said feeling the strong desire in Naruto to know.

"Will you tell me?" Naruto ask.

"No. It will not be me who will answer that question. It will be Destiny who will at the end of this little trip," Desire stated.

"Come Naruto we still have a long way to go," Death said taking his hand leading him through another portal.

Destruction -

They found themselves in a massive construction site and what looks to be a large building is being built. The workers are mainly robots doing the work but there is a big, red haired, breaded man working along side them. He's dress as a construction worker is is having a lunch break.

Nearby unloading a truck of I-beams, is a giant bigger then anyone Naruto has ever seen before. He's over fifteen feet tall and very large all over. He has more muscles on him than Naruto have ever saw on someone before. He wore a blue visor that covered his eyes. He wore an orange shirt covering his upper body and wore a pair of thick tan colored pants. He also had on a pair of boots and thick gloves. He also wore a giant size light brown top hat.

"Naruto meet my bother Destruction and the big guy is Brutehat," Death introduced him to the two.

"Hello Naruto," Brutehat said looking down at him.

"Heard about you," Destruction said.

"You have?" Naruto ask.

"Well Death going around with a young mortal does get around. And Madhat called ahead to give us a heads up," Destruction said.

"And, I see big sis gave you a parting gift," Brutehat said.

"Big sis?" Naruto ask.

"He's the same as me. We're younger but bigger then our older siblings," Destruction said.

"Since you're here, I should give you a gift as well," Brutehat said as he reach down and handed Naruto a yellow construction hardhat.

"Thanks," Naruto said looking it over before putting it on.

"That's the master builder helmet. With it you can build anything. You just have to imagine what you wish to make and as long as the parts are around you can make it," Brutehat said. "Also no matter how powerful or what kind of attack is used, as long as you're wearing that helmet you can't be harm by any magic or ninja trick. And only you can take it off." (5)

"I build stuff? And can't be harmed?" Naruto ask.

"Yes but you can be hurt by old fashion attacks," Brutehat said.

"Yes you can and if you don't have any parts to use. You can just destroy things for parts," Destruction said.

"Destory things?" Naruto ask.

"Destruction is the first part of creation after all," Brutehat said.

"Really?" Naruto ask.

"Yes sometimes you just have to tear down everything because the foundation is just no good and have to move it to another site," Brutehat said. (6)

"Because the foundation isn't good," Naruto said wondering if he should think of a new life for himself.

"Yup kid if you're unhappy with you're life sometimes you just have to start a new life. Like myself, I went and gave up on doing my job to see if, I can't make a new life for myself," Destruction said.

"And after that long journey you find yourself back home. Sometimes the journey is what it was all about," Death adds.

"Or you will find a new place where you feel you belong. Sometimes it goes fast in finding a home, but in others you just have to do it brick by brick," Brutehat said.

"A new place where, I belong, brick by brick," Naruto said thinking of what his life would be like if he just gives up being a ninja and find a new life for himself.

Dream -

Naruto found himself in a strange place it was an empty space that's filled with mirrors. And in the center of the place is a strange machine of some kind, it looks like the inside of a clock. And there's what looks like a giant keyhole at what looks like a control panel. And standing in front of the machine is a pale man dress in black with wild unkept black hair.

"Hello Dream," Death greeted her brother.

"Hello Death, hello Naruto," Dream said.

"You know me?" Naruto ask.

"Yes and of your world. The summons come from my realm the dreaming. As for you, I gave you the dream of being expected by others and having someplace you can call home," Dream explained.

"More, I think about it. The more, I think maybe, I should just leave and look for another place to call home," Naruto said.

"There is no right or wrong answer for that," Dream said as he turns to two other people with him. "We have been waiting for you."

The first one Naruto saw was a girl who looks to be around his age with short purple hair. She wore a pair of violet colored spectacles and an odd shaped top hat of pale colored leather and bits of metal that appeared to be electronic devices of some kind. One of the gadgets is a glass eyepiece that could swivel down over her right eye. She wore orange overalls over a gray shirt and an open white lab coat that almost reached the ground. She also had a metal disk on her back and a large shoulder bag that held a labtop. She gave her patented evil scientist smile to Naruto. What caught his eye was the fact that she has four metal tentacles coming out of the small metal disk on her back.

Next to her is a literal bombshell of a woman. She has long, glowing bright red hair that goes down to her slim waist with a bounce to it. Her lively green eyes captivated anyone lucky enough to look into them. Her skin is a healthy tan color and is smooth, soft velvety skin, not a hint of a blemish anywhere and absolutely mind blowing to touch. Her high cheekbones highlighted a painfully beautiful face that put to shame all the women Naruto has seen before. She stood very tall at 7 feet and has the proportionate body mass that if one looks at her far away they wouldn't know how tall she really till she's closer. She is dressed in a very form fitting blue leather body suit that emphasizes her curves, while leaving her limbs bare. She has a firm muscle tone remained subtly hidden, only revealing itself when she stretches, not that anyone would still be aware of that if they saw her stretching. She has very impressive, ample, over-developed breasts that defy gravity and an even larger heart-shaped rump and gorgeous thighs. Her whole body is the prefect balance of toned fitness and voluptuous curves that most women would kill to have. The bodysuit is clearly filled out to its very limits so much so that it looks like it's painted right on her. It especially looks painted on her around the chest and rear area. She also wore a small white jacket open in the front with dome shaped shoulder pads made out of metal. However the jacket didn't cover much, merely accentuated her impressive chest. Matching white gloves, knee high boots and a white top hat completed the ensemble. She also held a giant key and used it like a cane.

"Welcome to my realm my name is Tophat and this is my sister Mindhat," the older woman said.

"You have been entertaining to watch," Mindhat said.

"Watch?" Naruto ask.

"Well as you have seen there are many different worlds out there. So there are many different yous around," Tophat said as she walks up to the machine and insert her key into the keyhole.

The mirrors floating around them suddenly lit up showing images of Naruto on them. But all of the Naruto's look different and some being a girl instead of being a boy. Looking closer each mirror contained him but different, some younger, some older all living different lives.

"Each mirror shows a different you who has chosen a different life. In that one you gave up being a ninja years ago and left the village and became a farmer," Tophat said showing him an image of him walking into a town called Harvest Moon.

"There you became a whaler and hunting a white whale," Mindhat said pointing to another mirror with him older hurling a harpoon at a massive white whale.

"In that one you learn to become a samurai from a samurai called Jack," Tophat said pointing to one with Naruto dress in white and carrying a sword.

"In that one you learned to become a trader," Mindhat said pointing to another mirror with an older Naruto helping his staff load a wagon.

"That one is where you were taken in by inventor and followed his footsteps," Tophat said pointing to one with a Naruto controlling a flying machine.

"What about me staying in the village?" Naruto ask.

"You could do that as many of yous in other worlds have done. Just forgive everything that has ever been done to you and continue to risk your life for a village that has done nothing for that loyalty," Dream said causing Naruto to freeze thinking of what he just said.

"My virtue is Humility and, I know a thing or two about these kinds of things. Your village acts high and mighty saying they treat everyone like family. But have they ever treated you as family? The Dragon Tear my sister gave you will show you if the people you put your faith are really people you should put your trust in," Tophat said to him. "After all, I know not to show what you see if, I want to make sure the people, I interact with do deserve help, I don't look like this."

"You don't? Naruto ask then jolted as Tophat suddenly transformed into a very big and fat woman and while isn't ugly, isn't pretty either.

"This is how, I look when, I'm among mortals," Tophat said now dress in a outfit more suitable for a woman of her size now.

"Yup and sis really goes out of her way to help people who showed her they're worth the effort," Mindhat said.

"Remember Naruto pride is the downfall of many. With these mirrors, I can see every single world there is and seen too many times that because one person thought their pride is worth more then shaming themselves. Have led to the downfall of everything they either protected or held dear. Sometimes, I cursed them by making them never being able to die just so they can live in the aftermath of what their pride has done," Tophat said to Naruto transforming back into her thin form.

"Just throw away my pride like that?" Naruto ask.

"Yes pride is the the counterpart of my virtue. As with all things it's best to have it in moderation," Tophat said as she gave Naruto a armband with a green gem on it.

"What's this?" Naruto ask.

"This armband will allow you to hold anything in there by creating a copy of it. Anything not living can be copied and stored within the gem. Any weapon or armor you find you can copy and summon it equip to you when ever you want. And if there is an item you need but can't get you can use the gem to scan it and make a copy that you can summon anytime you want. But it can only copy the item once and you have to unstore it if you want to make another copy of the same item," Tophat explains. (7)

"And here's my parting gift," Mindhat said giving him a necklace with a bright purple gem. "Using my knowledge which is the greatest in any universe, this necklace in terms you understand gives you a energy shield that protects you from all melee attacks. The shield gains power from any source of energy mainly sunlight that, I base on a big blue hero. The shield can be worn down but there isn't any kind being or thing in your world that can do it. I already checked," Mindhat said.

"Thank you," Naruto said.

"You're welcome after all what me and the rest of my family have been giving you will come in handy," Tophat said as she looks at both Dream and Death. Both of them nodded as with what's facing Naruto's world will decide the fate of many. Even them.

!

Destiny -

"Hi!" a small girl shouted causing Naruto to jump back as soon as both he and Death step out of the portal.

Looking at her she's the cutest girl he has ever seen before. She has silk like light blue hair that flowed down beyond her shoulder blades. Her face showed nothing but carefree joy. She's dressed in a plain yellow dress that is ankle length and made her look even more cute and innocent. She wore a pink top hat that has a red flower popping from the middle of the top.

"Hello Magichat," Death said as she keeled down to give the youngest Hat a hug.

"Hi," Magichat chirped again hugging back.

As they did this Naruto look around to his surroundings. They're in a grove of trees of some kind in a clearing, some of the trees are old and mighty while others are just saplings. All the leaves on the trees seem to glow with a light that Naruto couldn't find words for. Some of the star leaves from where he was standing were falling off. It was like the trees are growing stars and looking around he couldn't see where the trees ended or began. Then he saw three other people in the grove with them. One is a man dress in a brown cloak with the hood up carrying a large book that is chained to him. The other is a glowing blue man dress in a speedo. And the last is Darkhat who is standing by a bonfire and behind him away from the fire is a large pile of leaves with a pitchfork in it and a pile of cut tree branches and wood.

"Greetings sister," Destiny said.

"Naruto meet my elder brother Destiny. You already met Darkhat and the blue man is Doctor Manhattan," Death introduced him to them.

"Hi," Naruto said.

"Hello again Naruto," Manhattan said.

"Again?" Naruto ask.

"Manhattan doesn't see time as most beings do," Death said. "What brings you here?"

"I came to try my hand in creating a universe. The seed has been planted," Manhattan said waving to a fresh plot where a seed has been planted.

"It's that easy?" Naruto ask.

"My family has all tried our hands in that. But all of them died," Death said.

"That because you didn't give them enough love and attention," Magichat said.

"But all of them bore fruit before they died," Destiny spoke up.

"Fruit?" Naruto ask.

"Each universe that are the trees you see exist for the purpose of baring a single fruit before it dies. I cut down the tree and burn it to ash. The number of seeds in the fruit depend on how much the tree grew and depending on how long each leaf and branch last. We Hats are the ones who plant the seeds and beings that we allow to do so, to begin anew. The ash from the old tree is used to enrich the soil for the new tree. Even if a tree fails to bare fruit, it can still help in the growth of a new tree," Darkhat explains which Naruto noticed that all stood and listen. For unknown to him, Darkhat rarely speaks but when he does everyone listens.

"And we take care of them to be big and strong," Magichat spoke up waving her arms around.

"Each tree here is a universe?" Naruto ask looking at all the trees.

"Yes they are and the Hats are the ones who keep anyone from ever tempering with any of the trees. For here if you cut off a branch or a tree or even a single leaf marks the fall of a entire universe," Death explains.

"You mean the leaves that are falling?" Naruto ask looking around and looking down at his feet at the leaves with a growing sense of horror.

"This world you see isn't really how things are as we higher beings see them. But what you are able to understand and handle but yes those leaves represent a universe that has died. But as long as there's a branch and a tree then a different version of that world of that branch can grow," Death explains.

"What happens if leaves stop growing?" Naruto ask.

Darkhat produced an axe and threw it at a dead branch of a nearby tree. The axe cut off the branch before disappearing before it hit anything else. Darkhat walk over to the branch and grabs a hold of it dragging it over to the bonfire. He tosses the branch onto the fire then shovels using the pitchfork some of the leaves on as well.

"There's your answer if the branch dies. It gets cut off," Death said.

"Or when there's fungus or weeds growing on it. And we have to cut it off before it spreads to the rest of the tree," Magichat added.

"Fungus? Weeds?" Naruto ask.

"It happens no matter what the Hats do to try to stop it. Rot just sets in coming from one universe effecting others. As long as it's contain and dealt with in that universe that branch can still be saved. But if it spreads, it has to be cut off to save the rest," Manhattan said.

"What happens if it spreads to the entire tree?" Naruto ask.

"The rot completely takes the tree over and blooms. Spreading spores to other trees. This clearing is what had to be done before it could spread. All burn to the ground," Darkhat spoke again.

"With how big the grove is every now and then it just happens," Magichat said looking down.

"I'm sure you do what you can," Naruto said to her cheering her up.

"Thank you," Magichat said smiling. "I know. I will help you."

"Help me?" Naruto ask.

"Yes you miss your parents right?" Magichat ask.

"Yes even now that, I learn who they are. I want to know why they sealed the demon within me," Naruto said.

"I get the fox and your parents out!" Magichat said as she cast a spell pulling the fox out of Naruto and making the whiskers on his face disappear. The fox was transformed into a small cute baby fox with nine tails which, Magichat quickly put a leash and collar on. And the two fragments that Naruto's parents had put themselves inside of him to help him when he looses control, found themselves in bodies of what they were when they sealed the fox in their child.

"My parents are...," Naruto began but couldn't finish seeing his parents are the very ones who sealed the fox inside of him standing before him.

"Yes they are your parents. At least part of them that was sealed inside of you. They were there when you lose control of the fox's power. They also have watched everything of what your life has been like up till now," Death said as she brought the complete souls of both Minato and Kushina in her hands. She threw them into the bodies merging the pieces together as the part that they had sealed within their son had watch everything up till now.

"Naruto," both of his parents said after the rush of memories of watching their son growing up through his eyes pass. They felt shame and guilt in what they had done to their child and how the people that they once trusted. Who they had trusted with their lives and that of their child once they were gone. The trust that they had placed in them was misplaced.

"Don't just don't," Naruto said looking down his body shaking. "You seen what my life has been like."

"We're still your parents and we want to make things up to you," Kushina said wiping the tears from her eyes seeing how much pain her son has been through because of them.

"You think there's anything you two can do to make it up to me now?" Naruto ask looking up his eyes filled with tears and fury.

"We can try," Minato said.

"Naruto," Darkhat spoke. "Your parents have watch you grow up with the life they have given you. They know everything that has happen to you and seen who they once thought as friends acted towards you once they were gone. You don't have to forgive them for what they have done. But they still want to do what they can to heal the wounds they cause and be the family you always wanted. It's your choice and yours alone."

"I can't just forgive you now," Naruto said to his parents.

"That's ok son. Let us earn it," Minato said seeing it wasn't the right time.

"No matter how long it takes," Kushina said wanting to go over and hug her son but knows it isn't the time.

"I better get you guys back to your world. And don;t worry, I take care of the fox after Magichat is done playing with him," Death said pointing to said girls as she dresses the demon fox in a pretty dress. The now baby kit tries biting on Magichat's fingers but his jaw muscles are just too weak, as he's no longer a energy being but a normal baby fox with 9 tails.

"It tickles," Magichat giggles as what she thought as playful biting was the fox trying to harm her.

"There is still Darkhat's gift to you," Manhattan said.

"No he and his family have done enough for me," Naruto said grateful for what they done for him. "I don't want to take more."

"Very well, I will just send you all home then," Darkhat said as a portal appeared in front of the family of 3.

"Thank you," Naruto said as he walks with his parents back to their world.

"You can always ask for a redo later," Darkhat voice called to Naruto before he step back to his world.

"He was nice," Magichat said. "I hope their branch survives."

"It's up to them," Manhattan said to her.

"Don't worry, both of us as well as the rest of the family knows what awaits us if what's to come ends badly," Death said.

"The page is still waiting to be written," Destiny said looking at the blank page in his book.

Darkhat said nothing as he tosses more branches and leaves into the fire.

Author's Notes -

1 – The Roman's in this fic are not the historical base ones. They are just Romans because their empire renamed themselves as them and cherry picked what works and throw away what doesn't for them. Like how many governments all over the world use them as a base for their governments and choose what to take from them.

2 - Even with Death like the other Endless being able to make more them one of themselves. Like how the one day Death spends as a mortal, at the end of the day it's herself who collects her mortal self. Which means all the reapers that do the job for her, only do so because it means less work for her. Her only vacation since the beginning of time was when Lex Luthor become one with the child of the Phantom Zone and stops entropy itself. Since the concept of death itself is stopped, Death finally got to relax.

3 - Deaths that appeared are from Soul Eater, Marvel, Adventure Time, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Regular Show, Family Guy, The Seventh Seal, Yu Yu Hakusho, Monster High, Red Death.

4 - 90 percent of the conflict in most plots especially in anime could have been solved if the mentor didn't hold back knowledge or resources just for a test. As imperiling hundreds or even thousands of lives isn't worth the gold sticker for the mentor's test.

5 - The helmet makes Naruto into a master builder straight out of Lego the Movie. And he can't be harm as long as he's wearing it by energy attacks or be effected either. So any thing that controls, fools, or a straight out energy attack of any kind won't harm Naruto.

6 - Sometimes no matter how good a building looks because it's on a weak foundation it causes problems in the future. Like for places that are build on dry lake beds or areas where the solid bedrock isn't there or too deep. You just have to tear it all down and make sure the foundation is strong.

7 - The armband idea comes from an old PS game. It takes place in a world covered in water caused of a war with only 4 continents each base on one of the 4 elements, earth, fire, wind, and water float in the sky. I can't remember the name of it or find it online.
