Chapter 2

The Prophet of Truth rubbed his lateral neck as he fought back the urge to scream as he exited the council meeting. Why did he want to be the religious leader for the Covenant again? Then he remembered what the Oracle had said while he looked for a conformation on a glyph given to him by a Kig-yar pirate ship some time ago. In order to keep the Covenant together, he had to sacrifice the "Reclaimers" for the good their race. It had been an exciting, and yet frightening, thirty second experience for him, along with Mercy and Regret as they watched the Oracle's blazing eye ignite to tell them of their false beliefs. It almost took off with the Dreadnought that powered the city. The Oracle was later removed from the system, and put into cold storage so that it could be "Archived" for later studies.

He sped down one of the many antigravity blue roads towards another part of the massive city as he came out into the thick of the early morning cycle. Though as odd it was to him, he still felt that his quest was right. He truly believed that the Forerunners were an extinct race, and that the only way to join them was to go on the Great Journey. Even now as he eyed the massive tripod ship that sat in the center of the holy city, he couldn't help but wonder why or how the humans were related to the Forerunners. He knew that they were evil from their first encounter on the planet that the humans had called "Harvest" and that they possessed a limited technology pool.

Truth looked up as a few buttons on his chair began to glow a bit. Ahead of him was an over packed transport carrying too many Unggoy again. Though they were at war, the Unggoy were good for fighting and were insane breeders. Laws had been placed to restrict their breeding, as they're numbers had grown too large when they first joined. Now that they were at war, they had been relieved of this law, and allowed to breed all they wanted. This made them great military weapons for the Covenant, but when faced without a leader to guide them, or a large mass of numbers, they presented less of a threat. At least the Kig-yar had some courage in them.

His chair weaved around them as their transport came to a slow halt, a few screaming at the small driver that shouted odd things back at them. One of the greatest things about being a part of the council was that their chairs or transports would identify their rank, and make a new path for them when faced with such an obstacle. This was just one of the few reasons why he enjoyed being a Prophet now. There were other good things as well, but nothing quite like that.

His chair lights began blinking, and he cast a quick glance at it. It was an incoming message. He hoped it wasn't from the council, demanding yet another meeting. He could go without another one for a while. They were too tiresome.

His gnarled finger pressed the key with a bit of hatred, and a small Sangheili appeared as a hologram. "What is it?" Truth tried to sound happy with the Sangheili's appearance, but failed just a bit. The Sangheili paid his small annoyance no mind as he nodded towards him.

"I think you for allowing me a moment of your time, Hierarch." He spoke quickly. Truth nodded his return thanks, something he did with the slightest of efforts. His large mantle was prone to falling if he leaned over too much, and it could throw his chair out of sync, causing it to topple over. "I have something you might like to see, Hierarch." Truth wondered what sort of object they brought this time. He knew this man. Xedraelee was his name. He had an odd knack for bringing in the strangest things. He had once brought in a piece of Forerunner craft that had been the remains of a stealth ship. Though it pained Truth to know that it was all the remained after the humans had blown it up, he was happy with its gifts.

A small screen appeared on his arm chair, and his eyes widened. A small human child with a red light blazing around him, twisting and turning as it fought to take an appearance of some kind. Truth had half of a mind to just yell heresy and be done with it, but there was something odd about it. He had never seen such an odd thing done with a human. Maybe it was some sort of genetic mutation, just like those Demons. No. This was different.

He watched in mild fascination as the human child killed his own with the red light. It seemed as though on his world, humans fought each other. He had heard of these moments. They were called Civil Wars, and he feared that if the truth of the Reclaimers being the Forerunners was ever leaked, this would surely happen.

Truth however, was not convinced of this footage he was shown. "Do you think I'm stupid?" The Sangheili recoiled just a bit from the harsh words spoken from the Hierarch. Truth flicked the image off, his patience now very thin. "I know not why you chose to show that, but when you're ship arrives, I shall personally deal with you. You're crimes shall be lessened so long as that thing isn't with you." There was a momentary paused as Truth and Sangheili locked eyes. It was then that he realized he had brought him. "In my chambers, the human as well. Bring him without being spotted." He snapped a finger over the buttons, and the image faded. Sangheili, so stupid.

Naruto stared at the odd transparent floating cloud before him. He was dressed back in the robe, and had his old clothes on as well. Though Xedraelee seemed most unpleased by this, Naruto explained that he'd rather have something other than a drafty robe on, which earned him a few chuckles from Raukeeee. Naruto, in the one hour he'd been awake, had been on the bridge of the ship, just staring at the odd design of it. He was amazed by it actually. There was a large part of his mind screaming for him to just touch everything. Unlike anything metallic that he had touched back home, this metal was oddly enough, very smooth, and very warm to the touch. It wasn't like the metals in the village that were usually a bit rough and always cold. He kind of liked the idea of touching something that was metallic, smooth, and warm.

He took in a deep breath as he watched Ahielee continue his work at the controls. Naruto had asked him if he could help, but, like always in the one hour he'd been awake, the Sangheili told him that he would not be needed, as it would be too low for him. Naruto at first thought he was making fun of him, but soon figured that he'd screw it up anyways, so it would be best to just leave it alone. As he watched him work though, he managed to understand that the glowing spheres seemed to control the movement of the ship. If he twisted both spheres a full quarter, the ship would turn at a slow rate. If he turned it at about three full quarters, the ship would turn much faster. If he rolled them forward, the ship would go down. And if he rolled them backwards, the ship would go up.

Understanding that had lead him to understanding where they were. Raukeeee explained that they were in space, an empty mass of stars, planets, and space debris. There was no up, down, left, or right. It was all numbers, mass, velocity, and other physics he really couldn't understand. He chose to just act like he knew, but it seemed as though Xedraelee was able to see right through it. He promised him that he would teach him, but Naruto didn't get his hopes up about learning it. He doubted he'd live to see another tomorrow with the way the meeting had taken place.

"We are approaching the designated hanger." Ahielee announced absentmindedly. Xedraelee closed his eyes. He was going to die for this crime, he was sure of it. He and his crew, along with Uzumaki Naruto, were going to be executed, or possible just killed without an audience for this. He wondered if the boy could summon the power again. He had tried to get him to do it again, but the boy couldn't manage it. It seemed that he still needed to rest a bit.

So… with their death's close at hand, Xedraelee decided to just let it all go. He was standing beside Naruto, Human and Sangheili, standing side by side. Most believed hell would freeze over before it happened without one being in chains. But right now, Xedraelee could honestly say that he enjoyed it. Naruto had proven his strength in his eyes. His ability to withstand anything thrown at him had made him as strong as he was in his eyes. His ability to regenerate from massive wounds earned him a spot on his God list. His outright ferocity made him an equal in his eyes.

He was proud to stand by one so young, and yet so powerful.

Their ship connected with a series of machines that grabbed the ship. It shook a bit, but nothing that would be truly noticed on the inside. Naruto looked up at Xedraelee as he began walking away. Naruto lifted the hood of the cloak over his head, and kept his form concealed as best he could. Naruto had a strong sense of self-preservation, and right now, it was screaming for him to run. The only problem was that he knew if he ran, he wouldn't get far, and he had no idea on where to go. For all he knew, the other worlds were uninhabitable as Raukee had calmly stated when they came out of Slipspace.

That had been when Naruto saw High Charity. To him, it looked like a jellyfish in the cold void of space. Surrounded by a fleet of large, purple and black ships that were nothing but dots when he first saw them, he now saw them as scary crafts that could simply hit them and not feel it or have little to show for it. Naruto also noticed that several smaller crafts were coming and going from a sea foam green world just below them. He wondered if it was habitable or not. He figured with them coming and going that it was. But he didn't know how to actually make the ship move forward, so high jacking it was clearly out of the question.

So he was now faced with the simple fact that he was going to die tonight or whatever time it was. As the hatch opened, he kept his head down, following the massive hooves of Xedraelee as he walked towards the chambers of the Prophet Truth. Naruto hadn't gotten a good look at the guy. Xedraelee told him that if things worked out, which even he doubted they would until a demonstration was given, they would allow him the right to stay, hopefully allowing him to join their ranks. If he had enough power to destroy a bunch of humans, be them unequipped with holy weapons, he was certain that the boy was worth more than even the simple minded Unggoy or Kig-yar.

It took them a while to get to where they needed to be, and even then, Naruto managed to catch glimpses of odd creatures. He saw one that had something of a birds head, human-like body, and three clawed fingers. They stood a little taller than he did, and Naruto felt a bit shorter compared to Xedraelee. The next thing he saw somehow reminded him an Ape. He remembered seeing something like it in a picture that had been drawn on a window, but they didn't stand upright like these creatures did, and they didn't wear odd colored armor. The next creature he saw made him feel even smaller. A massive creature of metal and orange goop made him feel both sick, and very small. The things were huge! They were possible even taller than Xedraelee, and he was tall. After that, he didn't see many others.

Xedraelee took a long deep breath as he, along with his companions, stopped in front of a metal door. He was already regretting this. It would have been easier for him to kill the boy back on the planet, but he couldn't do it. He would be killing something that was like a God. His people, along with the others in the Covenant had never seen such a boy. His abilities alone made him worthy of honor and a spot on the Covenant. Maybe there were more like him on that world. Maybe he wasn't alone. If he could pull this off, maybe they could go back to get more like him. Though he had asked if Naruto was the only one that was hated, figuring that if they hated others for no reason, it would lead them to others like him. Sadly though, Naruto confessed to being the only one that he was aware of, making the other two, growl, in anger.

The door hissed open, Naruto jumping just a bit at how fast it seemed to open for them. They walked inside, slow and steady, not wanting to alert the mass of people walking around that they were possible about to die. Once they were inside, the door closed, and Xedraelee looked around. He could already tell that a Sangheili team of Honor Guards were cloaked in the corners of the room, and watching them. Naruto didn't notice them, and carefully stepped forward with the others. Once they were in the center of the room, a large chair pivoted to face them. Sitting in the chair was an odd looking creature that had a long neck, a massive weighted crown and mantel resting on his body, and red robes. He made sure to give Naruto a hateful glare before glaring at the three Sangheili beside him.

"This is the human, correct?" The three cringed slightly at his heated tone. They knew this was coming. Xedraelee nodded to Naruto, and he carefully removed his hood. The Prophet seemed even more disgusted with his appearance than when he was concealed by the cloak. "Kill him, and all is forgiven." He spoke calmly, and quietly. Naruto looked up at the three, wondering with would do it. Raukee was the one he voted on for killing him. After all, he didn't seem very thrilled about having him onboard the ship anyways.

"I cannot." Xedraelee told him with a strong voice. He shook his head, his eyes closed. "This child has shown great power beyond that of a human…"

"What of the Demons that destroy our forces on the other worlds?! What of them?!" Truth tried to keep his voice down, but failed just a bit at the end of each sentence. He shook his head, a single hand going up to wattle that hung from his chin. He closed his eyes. "Human, can you use that power again?" Naruto shifted from foot to foot as he kept his gaze with the creature in front of him. Xedraelee told him to never break eye contact or it would be a sign of weakness.

"I…I… am sorry, but it only came on when I was scared." He answered calmly. Naruto's face twisted into a bit of a grin though, even knowing that he was probably about to die. "Thank you," he whispered. Truth glare hardened at the odd boy.

"For what?"

"For calling me human. No one in my village ever called me that." Truth had half ignored him until hearing this. He half expected the boy to just make a fool of his self; try to kill him even, but not give such an odd reply. Truth leaned forward a bit, his eyes resting on the boy. He was odd looking. He had heard reports of a few humans marking themselves with odd images, but nothing like what he had. Three lines crossed over his cheeks, and odd thing in deed to have. The other odd thing was that even though he wore a shirt, it was torn and full of holes, allowing him a perfect view of another tattoo. It had a spiral with four odd looking scribbled markings above and below the spiral.

"Oh… and what is that they call you?"

Naruto tilted his head a bit before answering. The pain look he had in his eyes made it clear he didn't like the names. Truth found some joy in his pained look, even some joy in the answer he gave. "They've called me a monster, a demon, and an abomination of human life. Every year on my birthday, they attack me, try to kill me, all because of these markings I have. I don't know why, but when Xedraelee-san found me… and the mob attacked me…" Naruto's voice trailed off his he closed his eyes to not remember the intense pain he felt. Truth shook his head.

"I've heard enough. Kill them."

The shadows came alive, and three Sangheili stood back to back, forming a triangle around Naruto. Even if it cost them their lives, they were going to ensure that boy at least have a moment or two to heal his powers. Maybe they would come back right now. Xedraelee gave the boy a pleading look as his face twisted into pure fright. Four Sangheili appeared, these ones wearing similar armor, but had two pieces of metal on their helmets to make it look like ears. Naruto tried to take a step back, but Raukee's legs blocked his path. Energy swords were drawn from both parties, and Naruto could feel the searing heat without touching the blades. His mind began to race as they attacked them. Outnumbered, it was no wonder when one slipped by them, grabbing Naruto by the head, and throwing him out of the room.

The door hissed open before he could hit it, and he skidded on his back out in front of Kig-yar that quickly pulled a circular weapon from its hips. A moment later, the Honor Guard came out, barking orders to the Kig-yar that had its weapon drawn. Naruto scrambled to his feet. He needed that power again. He needed it to survive. He didn't want to feel that pain again. Raukee, Ahielee, and Xedraelee needed him to awaken that power again.

Xedraelee ran out of the chamber, his two comrades following him as they tackled their Sangheili brethren to the ground. Xedraelee was kicked away, and stabbed in the shoulder before Raukee managed to backhand the attacker away. Truth came out of his chamber, a small smile on his face. The other Sangheili Honor Guard emerged as well, their Plasma Swords glowing as they stared down the opposing heretics. Xedraelee looked back at Naruto, hoping that the power would come to him now. It wasn't. He was too frightened by what he saw.

Before he had time to question him on why it wouldn't come to him, he was quickly blocking another strike with his Plasma Sword. The two Sangheili glared each other down, one's glare full of hatred and shame, the other full of sadness and regret. Raukee had given up, something no Sangheili would do unless face with no option. He would surely die with no honor now, and knowing that he shamed his people. Ahielee had been beaten, and was pinned to the ground, his head facing Naruto with hatred burning in his eyes.

Naruto took a single step back, and then darkness clouded his vision with a musty smell hitting him like a ton of bricks. He felt his legs leave the ground. He began flailing them around as he tried to kick whatever it was that held him. Pain ran through his body as he felt his arm get broken before he was thrown away. Xedraelee cried his name before he too was down on the ground, one of the Jiralhanae being the culprit. Naruto hastily got to his feet, his arm clutching his broken arm as he fought back tears. The Sangheili surrounded him, their weapons drawn and ready to kill him. Xedraelee watched with sad eyes as one came from behind, and stabbed Naruto through the chest with his weapon. Naruto dropped to the ground, lifeless and still. They holstered their weapons, their heads shaking in disgust.

Truth came to the three Sangheili, an amused grin on his face. "Tell me, where is his power now?" Xedraelee blinked a few times. Where was his power? Was it a fluke? Had his eyes deceived him? No. They had been no lie in what he saw. He saw his power. He saw him stand after suffering immeasurable wounds. If he was going to use that power, it would be now. Truth snorted. "Kill them. They are heretics." He declared as if he was talking about the weather. A single Sangheili stood ready to deliver justice when his body froze. Truth looked on with annoyance. "Well? Be done with him already." He snapped.

The Sangheili dropped his weapon, and then fell over, his body curling in to a tiny ball. Behind them, a beam of red light had exploded from the boy. It waved around violently, twisting and turning as it fought to grab something. Wisps of energy licked at the metallic walls, cracking and slicing parts of them as the boy seemingly got up as if unharmed. If all eyes were not on the boy, they would have noticed Xedraelee with a grin. The boy had awoken his powers again. The holy red light twisted and turned as the boy stood up; once again taking the odd form it had previously taken. His thin markings on his cheeks thickened, and his fangs and claws grew once more. His once scared sapphire eyes went crimson with slits, and his wounds vanished from sight.

Naruto blinked as he looked over the stunned Sangheili, Jiralhanae, Kig-yar, and few Unggoy that now stood before him, some pointing weapons at the ground now as they watched the wounds that had yet to heal, heal. A single Jiralhanae stepped forward, his massive arms spread wide like a wrestler as he prepared to pounce on the boy. Naruto stood their calmly, his hateful crimson eyes glaring straight towards the Brute that had its foot on Xedraelee. Naruto hadn't been paying attention to the Brute until his vision was blocked by his fist. Naruto had taken a Jiralhanae's full punch without batting an eye until a piece of his fur touched his eye.

Truth looked on in wonder. The boys' powers returned, and his body healed. No easy feat for one so young, or for a human. Truth watched in amazement as Naruto carefully, and unemotionally, squashed the Brute with the red light, making it take the form of a giant hand that squeezed the life right out of him. Naruto threw the body down off the small sidewalk they were on, and watched with hateful eyes as the body plummeted towards the sea of green mist below. Once he was certain that the body wasn't going to get back up from the fall, he turned his gaze to the Honor Guards' that still stood; their weapons drawn, and ready to kill Raukee and Ahielee.

Naruto calmly lifted his non broken arm, and flung another arm at the. The transparent arm slammed into them before they could move, sending them skidding backwards, slamming into other members of the Covenant as they appeared. Once he felt his arm go slack, he pulled it back, pulling the two Elites with it before releasing them once the hand came back into view. Their bodies flailed wildly as they fell to their deaths in chasm below. The Jiralhanae only had to take one look from the boy to step off of Xedraelee, and charged him with arms spread wide. Naruto calmly stopped him with his one good arm before the Brute sent a punch to his face. Naruto once again didn't feel it.

Raising his broken arm, an evil grin appeared on his lips as he showed him healing abilities, along with those watching. The arm cracked and popped as the broken limb snapped back into place at where it had been broken, and healed the long gash that once covered the arm. Now it was there turn to truly feel some fear. Naruto decked the Brute in the face, his jaw snapping to the side and almost off when his body twisted with blow. As he spun around, he staggered forward and straight into Naruto's enhanced punch, smashing straight through his rhino tough skin. Naruto yanked his dark bloodied arm out, and watched the Jiralhanae fall to the ground, alive, but not getting up.

Naruto took a deep breath as he looked at his hands. Is this why I'm hated? He closed his eyes, instincts guiding him as he got down on all fours, growling loudly at the people in front of him. A few of the other Sangheili took a step back, momentary shock from his actions. The Kig-yar began to tremble alongside their Unggoy friends, some already fleeing at the sight of the inhuman human. A few massive beasts appeared, their Fuel Rod Cannons ready to fire. Naruto turned to face them, a large grin appearing on his face. Lekgolo, that's what they were.

"Enough." Truth spoke in a whisper, but everyone heard it. Naruto turned back to face the Prophet as he glided towards them. Naruto stared at him as he circled him, his bodyguards looking at each other with their weapons drawn. "Indeed, you are not human." He corrected his later call on the boy. With his powers active, Truth began to wonder what the boy could do against an army of UNSC Marines. He killed one Jiralhanae, a feat not easily possible for one human alone, and he managed to kill two of his Honor Guard, the best of the best of the Sangheili. Yet none of them seemed to harm him when he gained this power.

Naruto watched him carefully. A voice in the back of his head told him to kill him and move on. His body wanted nothing more to kill him, feeling as though it would let him live a while longer. But his mind didn't want to kill him. As odd as it was, Naruto couldn't even move in his presence. He struggled to move his head alone to keep the Prophet in his gaze. Xedraelee was the main thing he would latch to when the Prophet crossed his path.

"You're power… do you know where it comes from?" A good question. Naruto didn't know anything of his past. He shook his head. "I see. Would you say it comes from the power of a God?" Naruto snorted at it, causing Truth to stop. "You snort at the idea of your powers being that of God? Why?"

Naruto stood up, his power letting him do so. He had an evil smirk on his face as he replied in an icy tone. "There is no God in this world." Several began screaming heresy at his words alone. Naruto silenced all of them with burst of his holy red light. A few of the frightened Unggoy ran away in fear. "If there was a God, how can he justify my powers being used for good, when all I feel is hate while I use it? Why would God allow me to suffer from their anger, and let them go unpunished for harming me?" Truth came to a stop beside Xedraelee as he stood back up from his bow. Raukee and Ahielee did the same, along with a few of the other Sangheili that took his power for being God like.

"You are without faith. You are lost."

"Lost?" Naruto snorted at the very word. Xedraelee wondered where this boldness came from. Surely no human was this bold when speaking to a religious leader while spouting off that there was no God. "I was born lost. I was kicked out of the orphanage at the age of three. I was forced to live on my own for so long now that it all seems like a distant memory. I would want nothing more than to die knowing those that harmed me got what they deserved."

A baptism by fire, Truth thought.

Naruto looked down at his hands again, staring blankly at the odd claws he now had. "If you're going to kill me, you should know that I will survive long enough to kill you first." Truth waved a hand as a few Lekgolo prepared their weapons. At point blank range, Truth had no doubt that they would surely destroy the body of the boy. But with his power, he doubted it would do much good if he was in fact a real God.

"What is going on?!" An aged voice shouted. Sangheili and Kig-yar moved away as another creature appeared. Dressed in similar clothing to Truth, he looked far older than the Prophet of Truth and far more senile as well. When he saw Naruto standing there with his holy red light clinging to his body, he began screaming for his head. Truth silenced him with a wave, ordering the Elites and Jackals to holster their weapons. As the Covenant military forces looked between the two people, Truth hissed at him to silence himself.

"Mercy, I suggest you hold your aged tongue." Truth hissed in a silent whisper as he floated over to him. He made sure the only they could hear what he said as he leaned closer to him. "This human might be worth something to us." Mercy looked over at the odd boy as the red light bubbled around his body. He could sense the boy's desire to kill at the moment. It was almost palpable. He could swear that he could truly taste his desire to just kill them. Truth looked over at Xedraelee as he stared down the boy. For a second time his holy powers had graced him with their presence. Truth knew that with some of the Covenant here staring at him; it would be hard to not allow the boy a chance to explain himself further. No human had this power. This could only mean that he wasn't human.

"What is this?" Truth closed his eyes. Regret was now here. This was perfect. Once he saw his power, and the three Prophets agreed to letting the boy join, no one would dare question them. Naruto turned an angry crimson eye towards the new person, one he could guess only to be the third Prophet. Upon seeing Naruto, his Honor Guard quickly drew their Plasma Swords. Naruto turned around fully to face him, his red light darkening as his eyes narrowed in anger.

"Regret, enough." Truth hissed. The youngest of the three paid his older friend no mind as he mindlessly ordered his Honor Guard to attack. Naruto made quick work of them. In a short order, he had either killed or disabled all of them, leaving Regret vulnerable to an attack. He was currently without his Fuel Rod Cannons, and with only a weak shield, he doubted that he could survive a confrontation with the boy. "Make him still, Xedraelee." Truth whispered. "The boy has proven his worth."

He could only nod as he approached Naruto. The blond Jinchuuriki turned to watch him, his eyes staring straight at his weapons. Xedraelee placed his remaining Plasma Sword on the ground, making sure to keep eye contact with Naruto before speaking. "Calm yourself, Uzumaki. You have proven to all who you see before you that you are a noble warrior." Upon hearing those words, Naruto let go of the power he held and dropped to a single knee. Xedraelee caught him before he could fall, smiling mentally at the fact that he had gotten him inside the Covenant. His God was safely inside the holy city, and now he could rest peacefully so long as the brethren of those he killed did not come after him.

Mercy floated over to the boy as he opened a single eye, his body tired from over using the holy power he wielded. "You are an odd creature." He told him bluntly. Naruto blinked a few times before Xedraelee put him down. Mercy eyed him. The blond hair was not something anyone had ever seen in the Covenant. His sapphire eyes that could change with the power held a certain sense of peace to him, like he was ready to die. The once thickened markings on his cheeks were back to being tiny lines. He no longer had claws or fangs. "Tell us your name." He demanded.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Uzumaki Naruto," Mercy began floating around him as he mulled over the name. He stopped when he noticed the other tattoo he had on his stomach. His chair leaned over as he did, and he stared at it. He could almost feel something evil about just by looking at it. He snorted at it before coming straight back up, his chair helping him as well. "Tell me something: Why do you have this power? Do you know where it comes from?"

Naruto thought about it for a moment. Sadly, he did not expect what one of them had shouted at him when he had been taken away by ANBU after managing to stab him several times. "Kyuubi…" He whispered. The three Prophets shared a look of confusion. "Someone once said I was the Kyuubi."

"What is a "Kyuubi" young one," An Honor Guard that had not faced him asked.

"Kyuubi was a powerful deity that attacked our village out of the blue one night. It happened on the night that I was born. The Yondaime Hokage, the most powerful Shinobi in our village, managed to kill the demon, and save the village. It cost him his life however. His death ranked him as God in the eyes of my people for being able to stop him. I always looked up to him as a hero for saving the village, but why my people constantly attacked me, I'll never know. They said I was a monster, a demon, and that I was to die to save the village." Naruto shook his head as he looked down at his own hands again. "I'm not a monster."

Truth smiled for a moment before he suddenly frowned. If there were more people like him on his world, and the UNSC got to them first, then his forces wouldn't last long against an armada of people like him. Maybe he could use this one, and destroy the others. Yes. He would have to destroy his world to prevent the UNSC from getting people like him. "Xedraelee, you found him, so you shall train him. I already have great plans for him." He smiled down at Naruto, and the young Jinchuuriki blinked a few times. "I have other things to do however. Come to me at early cycle, and we shall discuss your future in the Covenant." He left with the other two Prophets following him.

"Truth, are you mad?" Regret whispered harshly. "He is a human."

"I know that. But no human can do what I saw him do."

"What if there are more just like him?" Mercy asked. He had to admit that he rather liked the idea of finding more like him. An army of humans with his ability… he couldn't even dream of the possibilities. There were too many ideas he could come up with.

"They must be killed. More than one is enough for us. Just having him will cause problems. Even for ones such as us." He sped away, heading straight for a certain Jiralhanae's quarters. "I have someone in mind that can do the job. Let this not be spoken to any of the Sangheili though. I feel as though they may be corrupted by his power." With nothing else to say to the other, they departed. One having a plan to destroy yet another world, the other two wanting nothing more to do with the Human child.

A/N

There was something I forgot to mention in the last chapter. This story takes place, as of right now with Naruto being five to six years old, about twelve years before the events in Halo 2 take place. I figured I should state that before anyone questions me about it. Now, with that being said, if anyone has read any of the Halo books, this will also cover a few things in it as well. I would however, like to know if someone knows the name of the Elite that became the Arbiter in Halo 2. He was mentioned in one of the books, and I don't own that one. Also, before anyone gets worried about me having Naruto fight John, it will be noted that I'm not going to have them interact much. I don't need to get yelled at about having Naruto pushing him back or getting his ass kicked by him. I have other things in mind.

Now I would also like to thank everyone who reviewed this story so far. I was a little worried that someone would call me an idiot for having an, Elite thank Naruto a God. My friend figured that if they saw Naruto using Kyuubi's power, they wouldn't understand, and they certainly wouldn't be able to explain it, thus making him something close to God. Anyways, take care everyone. Oh, and yes I will be working on For Answers as well. So don't worry about that.
