~ Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.

(Reno, 1973 September 1st)

It was 7:50pm and a 17 soon to be 18 year Naruto Namikaze was walking to Amber's apartment since the car he was fixing up (Naruto is a really good mechanic and the car he was putting together looks like a TOYOTA 86) was not yet completed. It was nearing then end of his senior year and he was happy soon he'd have more time to work at his shop and be with amber.

However fate had different plans. As Naruto made it to the end of the side walk and turn around the corner he heard a gun shot and then felt a sudden searing pain in his chest. Looking straight ahead stood a man who had been trying to buy off his shop just to take the blue prints to some new model cars and bikes that he had come up with standing right in front of with a Beretta 92 that was equip with a suppressor in hand and two thugs behind him.

This is the last anyone will see you again. The man stated before he aimed fired at Naruto again this time aiming for the heart and fired another bullet Naruto stood still feeling strangely lighter and weightless wondering what his answer came in the form of a sound as something fell to the ground Naruto turned to look behind him and found that it was his body that had fallen and collapsed on the ground. Naruto was in shock he was looking down at his own body that lay on the ground before the men picked his body up throwing it into the truck of the car they had must have came in and drove off after they had gotten rid of the evidence. As they drove off, Naruto came out of his shock and heard the sound of a horse's neigh and then the sound of hooves galloping down the street.

Looking back behind him Naruto froze in fear as he saw an ominous being riding on a large black grey horse with a white main and glowing green eyes. The rider wore a combination of ancient chinese and japanese armor wielding a scythe and carrying a pouch. Their was only one thing that came to Naruto as he saw the being and recognized him as Yama from the chinese and japanese folk lore that everyone from chinese and japanese decent was told to as a child there was only thing Naruto could think of to do and that was to run like a bat out of hell! Naruto ran as fast as he could but he felt as if everything was going in slow motion, it was not long after that he finally turned his head and looked behind him to see the spirit grab him and carried him through a portal disappearing a flash of an eerie green light.

With Amber some time later

"Naruto what is taking you so long?" Ember thought. Naruto had promised her that for the next two weeks of no school (because the staff had found the whole building covered in graffiti) that he was going to spend all his time with her. She looked at the clock hang above her door again waiting for Naruto to come and get her to take her to the movies. "Maybe... maybe he's just running late. Yeah that's it he must have just lost track of time and is on his way here now." She thought not wanting to think otherwise.

Two weeks later

It was early morning at Reno High. Naruto's friends Jacob, Steven and Conner where hanging around the school basket ball court enjoying the morning before class was to start however that ended quickly for them especially for Conner when he was forcefully turned from behind by none other then Naruto's girlfriend Amber (Who was nicknamed Ember because of her temper). Who looked murderously at the three of them and scaring the hell out of them.

"Where is he? Where is the BASTARD!?" Amber shouted angrily while a little water was beginning to building up in her eye's. Conner being the closest one was getting hit the most by the angry glare that his friend's girlfriend was sporting.

"Lo-look Ember we don't know where Naruto is we had assumed he was with you." Conner said while trying to avoid pissing Ember off even more then she already was. But sadly that was unavoidable because not knowing where Naruto was just seemed to piss her off more before she growled in aggravation and delivered a swift kick in between Conner's legs making him sing in a high C while he slowly fell to the ground and getting into the fetal position, while Jacob and Steven who had witness the assault could only wince at the scene and promptly making them cover their own valuable and precious area's while Conner finally began to find the strength to speak however the pain caused him to start talking in a high pitch squeaky voice. "Help me." He asked only for his plea for help to go unnoticed.

Their was one thought that was going on in their minds however as they watch Ember stormed off. "Naruto is in for a world of pain the next time he see's Ember again."

(scene of events in the living realm December 9th)

"This Martha Morse here with breaking news a body was found near the Truckee river after two days ago when a young woman named Amber McClain died in a house fire. Resources say the body that was found belong to local mechanic Naruto Namikaze and has yet be confirmed." A thirty five year old woman with red hair brown eyes wearing tan brown jacket and dress skirt stated on the news.

(Ghost zone (three days before the episode fanning the flames) with Naruto)

Naruto let out a sigh of relief as he had finished rebuilding his car (the TOYOTA 86 only now it was a ghostly vehicle.) and now with his car finally rebuilt his thought's began drifting off to seeing Ember again. He had been longing to see Ember again ever since he had escaped purgatory.

Purgatory. The mere thought of that prison sent shivers down his spine and brought up the memories of the time he spent there.

(Flashback)

It had been three weeks since he had first arrived in purgatory the landscape of the place was a rocky desert type of area with large thick dead looking vines and branches that looked to have come out of the ground and form archways and twists in the air. The sky looked like a stormy night with no wind or rain and was getting increasingly cold as time went by and when day came it was hotter than hell itself. It was so incredibly hot that the Dallol Depression in Ethiopia and Death Valley in California combined would have felt like you where in Alaska compared to the heat that radiated in this hellhole.

The insane weather was the least of his worries though when he had came across a native creature from purgatory. The thing had the tail of a snake for the lower half of it's body while the half had a humanoid upper body with large muscle arms and the head of a long horn texas bull with demonic red eye's and the teeth of a man eating tiger and as if that wasn't enough the thing was also as big as a three story hotel and it wasn't long before the massive creature spotted him to and attacked firing a blast from it's hand.

The first thing that came to mind to Naruto was to DODGE! Naruto quickly jumped to his right putting his arms into a cross and shut his eye's waiting for his body to hit the ground however he soon opened his eye's after 10 seconds of waiting to hit the ground only to find himself flying in the direction that he had jumped to. Naruto became so shocked to find himself flying he didn't notice the bull/snake humanoid hybrid appearing behind him getting ready to slam him into the ground until it was to late.

after colliding with the ground Naruto turned himself over and saw the bull coming straight toward with another fist cocked back to punch him again. Naruto not knowing what to do raised both his hands in a foolish attempt to try and catch a fist the size of a car. But soon felt energy building up in his arms until it was released in a large green orb that was equal to the size of a pickup truck before it shot of towards the bull and hitting it in the face sending it flying back into a pillar of rocks.

Naruto looked at his hands in disbelieve when an idea came to his mind. Naruto got up with a new determination and looked toward the bull that was coming up from the pile of rubble. Naruto took the chance to concentrate and send energy into his hand, it wasn't long til another sphere of energy began to form however unlike the last one this one was orange with faint trace of golden light in the form of a fox and an electric base guitar wrapped around in chains. The sphere grew in size and kept expanding until it was twice the size of the bull. Naruto opening his eyes saw what he had created and was mesmerized but had little time to pat himself on the back for conjuring up such an incredible technique before the thing was finally out of the rubble, not wanting to waste any time Naruto launched the sphere of energy.

However instead of blasting thee thing away the sphere engulfed the beast and started to shrink in size crushing the creature within it only until it was the size of a boulder did the beast cry out in agony and pain before it and the sphere exploded and dissolved.

(End of Flashback)

That was the day when he discovered that he had powers and began to train and learn the many different levels of strength there was for the creatures and beings that inhabit purgatory ranged from D-rank to S-rank and he learned that the beast he had first ran into was a low C-rank he did not want to face anything around an S-rank if he could help it. After a decade he had become the strongest C-rank being and could face off a B-rank being if he gave it his all and came up with a good enough strategy an A-rank however he would only last a few minutes but an S-rank being would turn him into a chew toy.

Then two years after he became the strongest of the C-rank beings he somehow manage to break out of purgatory when testing a new power he had come up with and woke up in a dimension called the ghost zone and found out that Ember was here too. How he found out that his girlfriend was here and where he was, was because of his new friend Johnny 13.

Naruto after he manage to miraculously escape purgatory, had found himself laying on a floating dirt road which lead to him he meeting Johnny. He could still remember that day like it was yesterday.

(Flashback)

On the stretch of road below him stood two teenagers. The first one he took notice of was a young woman with eyes as red as fire and her bright green hair was fashioned in a style the blonde didn't recognize. Her clothes consisted of a bright red leather jacket over a sleeveless black top that was cut at just above her naval with a black miniskirt showing off her mile-long legs she kept wrapped in fishnet stockings and knee-high black boots. Currently she was focusing her heated gaze on the ghost standing across from her as she tore him a new one with her voice.

The male member of the duo had greasy blonde hair brushing the shoulders of the black trench coat he was wearing over a plain white shirt. His hands were clad in black fingerless gloves and a pair of black cargo pants with combat boots covered his lower body. An emerald green skull hung around his neck on a piece of black cord and he appeared to be the one attempting to placate his angry partner. Not far behind them was a motorbike Naruto speculated belonged to the couple.

Naruto watched as the couple fought for a while longer until the girl threw her hands in the air and stormed off. Deciding he might as well introduce himself, the blonde ghost hopped off the edge of his perch and used his powers to glide down and land in a crouch.

"Troubles in paradise?" he asked, getting the attention of the biker.

(Flashback End)

Naruto also recalled that meeting starting out as a fight when Johnny thought he was an enemy before Naruto manage to prove he had no ill will and only wanted to chat.

Naruto snapped out of his musings when he saw Johnny jumping in through the window that he had left open.

"Is it business or social call today Johnny?" Naruto asked while wiping off the oil stains on his hands.

Johnny took up a seat on the couch that resided next to the window before looking back toward Naruto. "Well I came here to tell you that Ember has left for amity park today heard their was some non-natural made portal somewhere north from here. She left about three hours ago from what Kitty told me. You plan on going and seeing her anytime soon?"

Naruto thought about this for a moment recalling the times when Johnny told him how he would over hear Kitty and Ember go on and talk about things from there past lives. Which surprised him since he never thought that Ember would do a lot of girl talk. He remembered when Johnny told him how Ember would talk about his and her relationship all the way up to the point to where he had as Ember believes 'ran out on her'. That hurt him when he heard that, and he felt sorry for Conner, Jacob and Steven mostly for Conner when Johnny told him what Ember did in her fit of rage.

Naruto sighed he was going to have to see her now and fix their relationship. "Johnny can you lead me to the portal?" Johnny got up and started headed to his bike but stop in mid step and went digging into his coat pocket and tossed a CD to him. "I got that CD you asked me about." Naruto nodded and started his car while putting in the disk.

When the first track begin to play he couldn't help but chuckle. "Highway to Hell," he muttered, throwing the car into gear and pressing down on the accelerator. "Couldn't pick a better song."

(Amity park beginning of fanning the flames)

On a building nearby Casper High Naruto sat by the edge waiting for his beautiful yet dangerous girlfriend knowing that if she wanted to draw in a crowd the best place to do that would be at a High where most teens would be during the day.

Naruto didn't have to wait long either til the sound of drums reached his ears. Looking down he could see a teal blue truck pulling a mobile stage with two large stereos amplifying the sounds of constant rhythm like beat, and in seconds after the truck stopped in front of the high school and soon enough Ember appeared. As he looked at her he began to wonder if Ember had either developed a bit since he last saw her or he had not seen her in a long time that he forgot how sexy she was or maybe it was a bit of both.

There was a few changes about her that he had noticed as he stared at her one being the fact that her hips where a bit wider and her bust that where once a mid C now looked to borderline a mid D-cup that was held in by a black one-shouldered tank-top that exposed her midriff and she now had flaming, teal hair put into a ponytail that seemed to be shorter then how her hair looked back before he died. She also wore a black choker around her neck and a long glove that covered most of her right arm and one black bracelet on her left arm. She also wore a pair of form hugging leather pants with a silver belt and skull boots.

While he looked at her he barely noticed the next ghost that appeared playing on the drums behind her and two more appeared a few seconds later playing electric base guitars. Next thing he knew the whole populace of teens in the entire high school came pouring out onto the street. Naruto then decided that before he would confront his girlfriend and reveal himself he was first going to sit back and watch the show and see what Ember's plan was.

(Time skip)

"Tucker sing!" Danny cried out as he tossed the mic to his tech loving friend hoping that his horrible singing would break Embers spell. "What? But you said I stink."

"Oh uh...noway you rock. You rock out loud." Danny lied with fake enthusiasm. "You got that right." Tucker said as he ran on stage however before he could start singing the mic was blasted out of his hand. All eyes turned to where the beam had came from and saw a guy with golden blonde hair, ocean blue eyes wearing ripped blue jeans and a red t-shirt. The looked to be the same age as Ember possibly a bit older and judging by how pale he was he was a ghost too.

While Danny and his friends looked at the teen in wonder Ember glared murderously at him while gritting her teeth in anger. "What the hell are you doing here?" She asked/demanded.

Naruto just looked toward Ember not showing any fear by the look she was giving him. "We need to talk Ember." Naruto said hoping to fix their relationship and get back to be the rebellious couple that they once were. "You want to talk fine how about when hell freezes over!"

Naruto was about to reply to Embers response but stopped to see Danny and his friends looking perplex at the two.

"Its probably best if Ember and I go somewhere more private to talk." Naruto thought to himself before he walked up to Ember who by the way looked ready to swing her guitar down on to his head and grabbed her arm and teleported them to the nearest portal to the ghost zone leaving behind three shocked teens and a large group of dazed people. when they got over their shock their was one thing on their minds.

"What just happened?"
