Old friends or new enemies PT. 1
Nero Sparda was pissed, almost beyond belief. Why? Because old man Sanctus had hired a group of ninja from another continent. Mind you, the Raven-haired dude was pretty cool, even if he could beat a statue in a staring contest, the fa… I mean, chubby kid was a good guy. The bun-haired girl was pretty good with weapons, and the blonde had some interesting mind-based techniques. The red-head cursed a lot and the pale-eyed girl loved to pull pranks. The gray haired dude had some really good books. The pin-aple head was impossible to beat at chess, and dog breath and boy were excellent sparring partners.
But, to him, it seemed like there was something missing, from all of them. From their hearts, and it looked like they thought about it often, too. He asked Tayuya about it, only for the red-haired flutist to use some rather colorful language before giving him a bone-crushing ball-tap with her iron battle flute. Shino ignored him, Shikamaru waved him off with his favorite phrase before promptly falling asleep under the clouds, saskue and kakashi both walked off. Kiba gave him his second ball-tap of the day, this one complete with a steel-toed boot and a bout of unconciouness. Hinata started to cry before running away and Ino almost caught him in her shitenshin.
Ten-Ten was the only one who gave him a straight answer, even then it was with another ball-tap, this final time with a blunt mace. She gave him a name. Uzumaki Naruto. That was why he was pissed, he couldn't help but wonder who this was to have affected a group of shinobi in such a way that they hurt him on mention. Was he a friend, or was he an enemy? Was he dead or alive? Was he wanted dead or alive? He would probably never know.
He couldn't think about that right now, though. It would put him in a very bad mood, which would in turn ruin the festival for both him and Kyrie, who was onstage singing right now. She looked at him as she finished her song, just in time to see him smile warmly at her. When she came to sit next to him, he had his headphone son and was relaxing to the angelic symphonies as presented to his eardrums by none other than Metallica. He looked up at her and smiled before closing his eyes again. She looks down at the seat next to him to see a small, blue-wrapped gift box sitting there. With a smile, she sits down and holds it in her hands as the leader of their church walks onto alow balcony behind the stage and begins to talk. After a couple of minutes, Nero opens his eyes again and loks around to see everyone praying to a statue of Sparda, the devil swordsman who turned on his own kind in order to save the human world.
As Nero never one for religion, he sighs as he pulls his music down around his neck before standing to leave.
"Nero, whats wrong?" Kyrie asked him as he starts to walk away.
"I'm outta here." He replys, walking a few steps forward as the auburn-haired girl stands to follow.
"But, it's not over yet." She argues, trying to get him to sit back down. Only for him to turn around with a suppressed yawn.
"All of this preaching is putting me to sleep." He shoots back before turning back around and taking a few more steps. He stop, however,as his right arm, which had been in a cast for the past few years, starts to glow a faint blue. He instinctively looks up as he steps in front of the girl behind him. They both watch as a silver-headed man with a large, screaming demon skull sword falls through the painted glass window in the roof of the church, red trenchcoat flying as he lands on the ledge of Sactus's balcony and looks him dead in the eye befre shooting his brains out with a white pistol.
"YOUR HOLLINESS!!" Credo, kyries older brother shouts as the old man falls to the ground.
-Outside the church-
"Looks like Dante has already started. I might as well get started onmy part while he's dealing with those knights." Says Sparda Uzumaki Naruto before he vanishes in a black blur, just barely avoiding a three man group of leaf ninja comprised of Sasuke, Ten-Ten, and Tayuya. Sasuke was wearing a dark blue trenchcoat and a pair of black pants. His headband around his fore head and his hiltless Chokatou sheathed at the small of his back. Tayuya was wearing a pair of skin-tight leather pants and a loose red t-shirt. Her headband around her left thigh and her flute in her left hand. Ten-Ten wore a pair of black kunzite pants with a pink, long-sleeved, Chinese shirt and her hair still in her classic buns. A huge sealing scroll was held at the small of her back by a few black ribbons to put it at easy access. The former blonde smirked as he watched them run towards the odd church before pulling Cerebrus out of the holster attached to jis leg bfore pulling the trigger three times quickly, sending nine shots forward from it's three barrels.
On the ground, the shots land in front of the leaf-nin, forcing them to stop their quick approach. They all three look up to see a teen about their age pointing a black and silver decorated, tri-barreled pistol at them, all three of it's barrels smoking slightly. He has silver hair with blood colored streaks running through it in a long tail down his spine with a few spiked bangs. His black trench coat swaying in the wind along with his hair as he holsters his gun and jumps down in front of them, the black o-katana in his hand catching their eyes, but not as much as the headband hanging around his neck. The konoha insignia was cut through with and upside-down crucifix. His red-slitted eyes stare at them unblinkingly as if this figure was looking into their souls and silently laughing at what he found there.
"Who the Fuck are you?!" Tayauya shouts as she takes a taijutsu stance while Ten-Ten unfurls a little of her scroll and Sasuke reaches back to grasp his swords hilt. The figure looks at them a moment longer before turning his back to them and giving a reply.
"I am nothing but a ghost from the past come alive again." he says, turning to face the trio again. "I know you remember me. Alas, I am not here to here to catch up on pleasantries, Tayuya, Ten-Ten, Teme. My job is to keep you away from Dante while he fights that other Hanyou." with that, Naruto flicks his blade out a few inches with his thumb before giving a deadly looking slouch as he puts his hand on the hlt of his sword, the chain on the pommel jingling a little. He transfers Chakra along the edge inside the sheathe to dull the blade enough so it won't kill any of them. He gives what one would describe as a foxes smirk before charging forward, swinging his black blade two times, striking both Ten-Ten and Sasuke in the stomach with enough force to knock them unconscious before they can say his name. Hw turns the redhead as he runs the curve of Zangetsu along the opening of his ebony sheathe before sliding it in. Tayauya looks at him, for the first time in almost three years she looks at the boy who saved her from Orochimaru during the chunin exams.
-Flashback-
"Tayuya, you have failed me for the last time." The snake-like man before her says in a quiet voice from his throne. His long black hair was away from his face for once. She could see the glee in his from where she kneeled on the ground, beaten and almost broken. His neck elongated like the very animals he summoned as hi head approached he face. "You will be tagged during the finals tomorrow with an explosive note. Even if you win your match against Naruto-kun, you will die." He whispers to her, his tounge coming out of his mouth before elongating and licking down her cheek slightly before he pulls away and waves his hand at Jirobou and Kidomaru to take her away and apply the note.
The next day in Konoha, she stood across from a young man with sun-blonde hair in an orange jumpsuit before the fight began. Her long red hair was matted and dirty, her clothes were wrinkled and torn, and there was some dried blood on her left cheek. Genma, the jonin proctor for the finals, stood between them with his hand towards the ground. He looked from her to Naruto, waiting for the right moment to start the match.
"Hajime!" he shouted before jumping out of the way, knowing that te first battle of the finals are always very wild. After a few seconds, she lurched forward on instinct taking a kunai from her hip pouch, taking a chance at killing him with the first blow. She sighed as the kunai sank into his skin, only for him to go up in a cloud of smoke signifying that he was only a clone. She heard a yell from above her telling her that he was coming from above. She whirled out of the way, only for him to charge at her after hitting the ground. The only thing she could do was catch his fists as he runs at her.
"I'll remove the tag for you. I'll do it in the middle of the fight so you won't die. They won't notice until they try to blow you up." He knew! How?
"How did you know?" she asked him, trying to push him away.
"I saw it when you turned to walk opposite from me, your shirt was low in the back." He replied before jumping to flip over her and make it look like he had hit her in the neck to knock her out, which he had, he just removed the tag and overrode the seal with his own chakra as it slid into his sleeve. She fell over after that, letting the darkness take her.
When she woke up several hours later, she saw him sitting next to her hospital bed, asleep in a chair.
-Flashback end-
"I want you to know that I do not intend to kill any ninja from the village. I am going to knock you out before I take the next team. I don't want you to alert them, Taya-chan. I'm sorry." The new Naruto told her before he disappeared again, this time striking her on the very back of the neck. As she fall down, he catches her and lays her down carefully. "Now, for Hinata-chans team," he speaks before dissapeaing in another black blur.
"Chapter two, Fin."
Thank you to everyone who voted on the harem. The girls in it will be Seras Victoria, Sabaku no Temari, and Ten-Ten to go with Hinata and Tayuya. If anyone has any ideas for a devil arm I can give him, please review before I sick Sakura on you under a naked sasuke genjutsu. One of the other devil arms he will get will be a pair of gauntlets call Alucard that are based off of Alucards gloves from Hellsing. Ja Ne and may the Schwarts Be with you all, like a the old pedophile from Family guy!
