A/N: Well, so far the reviews have been positive. Thank you all for enjoying Rise of the Tuner Clan. Chapter two is here and those who have played DDS/Avatar Tuner will recognize some of the bits of scenes that were from the games and will continue to recognize other scenes. Well, if you have questions or suggestions then PM them to me or leave it in a review. I humbly ask that you do not flame my choices of harem girls. Now I'm going to answer the fan mail.
Leaf Ranger: Thank you for finding interest in this story. Sakura and Haku are not the only girls in the harem, and some will have tuner powers.
Hee-Ho Master: HInata being a tuner is a possibility. I'm not entirely sure if I'll go in that direction or not.
Revan the Wicked: Thank you for your review. It's appreciated even if it doesn't give me any ideas. Don't mean to sound rude but I like to hear ideas on what people might like to see.
Blaza wolf: That was certainly interesting. I sincerely hope that the basic information I sent you as a reply has helped. I hope you continue reading.
If you don't see your name then you didn't review or left a review that was meant to wound or say who you don't like and rant about it. Well, only one thing to do before the show, and I've asked a special guest to help. Presenting the currently dead Zabuza Momochi-san
Zabuza:"What do you want brat?"
Wolf09: I just want you to do the disclaimer is all, and I'm 21 peach boy
Zabuza: Fine, Wolfpackersson09 does not own Naruto or any Megami Tensei game, which includes Digital Devil Saga. Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto and Digital Devil Saga series is owned by Atlus.
Wolfpackersson09: Thank you very much, He who compensates by using a massive sword. You may go now.
Zabuza: Watch it brat, next time Kubikriri hochou will slice your head off.
Wolfpackersson09: Well now, on with the show.

Chapter 2: Gatou's Mansion
Naruto and Sakura were asking around on the whereabouts of Gatou's mansion. They were determined to find out the truth. Many of the citizens of the village they were staying in obliged them, albeit fearfully.
"Okay, so we know that Gatou's hideout is in the port area on the waterfront." Sakura said reviewing the info they got, as they walked not seeing three figures approaching them.
"Okay, so we best in, beat the thugs to a pulp and get the info from Gatou 'ttebayo?" Naruto asked as he munched on a fish he swiped from the table on their way out. Sakura nodded munching on a fish as well. Even though she denied it, Sakura seemed to have similar penchant for pranks and pick pocketing. The still didn't notice the figures until one of them cried out.
"Hey forehead, what you doing with Naruto?" One of the figures asked, a girl around their age with platinum blond hair tied up in a ponytail, opal/aqua blue eyes, and a great figure for her age. Her outfit consisted of a purple top and skirt, bandages around her thighs, konoha hitae-ate tied around her waist like a belt, and two purple gloves on her hands with part of the top cut out revealing a mark that looked like the Japanese sun circumscribing a wolf's head. The two boys that where with here had very different appearances. One had dark brown hair that was tied in a topknot, looking like a pineapple, dark brown lazy eyes and his hitae-ate was tied around one of his arms, a coat around his fishnet shirt, and a pair of pants. One of the legs on his pants were half short that revealed a mark that looked like a tornado with teeth. The other boy was fairly large and had a bag of potato chips. His hitae-ate was on his head, but tied in a way that made it look like a pair of panties. All three had loop earrings in a single ear.
"Ino? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked shocked that team 10 was here, including a fourth that just shown up. He had a cigarette in his mouth and a goatee. (All right, I'll admit that when I'm somewhat terrible at descriptions. Just look Asuma Sarutobi, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi on wikipedia)
"Where here because Kakashi sent a request for back up and we're the only available team." Asuma said as he took a puff of his cagarette. Asuma noticed that people in the village were looking at the two with a mixed expression of fear and awe.
"So what are you two doing?" Choji asked taking a bite of his potato chips.
"The best way to complete the mission is to take out Gatou. He hired Momochi Zabuza the burradai oni no kiri to assassinate Tazuna-san. Zabuza was betrayed by Gatou and slain, but something happened to some of his hired goons and he took off. Naruto-kun and I were going to investigate the mansion and capture Gatou as Tazuna-san said he was involved in a number of illegal activities, including underage prostitution, theft, murder, and the possibility of regicide." Sakura calmly explained shocking the three students and causing Asuma to frown.
"Shikamaru, Choji, you two go report to Kakashi. Ino and I are coming with the two of you to back you up. Since you two seem to have an idea on where to go we'll go with you as back up." Asuma said as the two boys left leaving Asuma with Naruto, Ino, and Sakura. Naruto and Sakura led the two extra as they made their way to Gatou's mansion. As Shikamaru and Choji were moving to Tazuna's home they noticed a few people carving what appeared praying.
"What do you think they're doing Shika?" Choji asked wondering what was going on.
"It's too troublesome to understand local customs." Shikamaru replied but he still heard a bit of what they were saying.
"Thank you Inari-sama for sending your servants to devour the wicked and free us."
BREAK
Asuma, Ino, Naruto and Sakura stood in front of Gatou's mansion. It looked more like a fort then a mansion, but then again, Gatou was a major black market player. There was one thing that bothered them.
"Where are the guards 'ttebayo? I thought some wimp like that midget would have a guard or three at the entrance." Naruto said stepping forward getting caught on a video camera.
"Yeah, this is strange. We go for the entrance and look for him." Asuma said as the three entered the mansion. It had everything that you would find in a house and a warehouse. Naruto looked around, as did Sakura, Ino and Asuma.
"So forehead, why did you call Naruto 'kun'?" Ino asked as they made their way through a hallway.
"I was in the hospital after some really nasty bullies beat me up horribly. I met him there in the room I was staying in for observation." Sakura said and Ino had a horrified look. She didn't know she was in the hospital ever. Sakura also noticed something that was on Ino's hand.
"So you didn't cover up your birthmark?" She asked Ino. Ino shook her head and they felt a presence in the door behind them.
"Now's not the time to chit-chat. I don't know who's behind that door but we're about to find out." Asuma said bringing a couple off trench knives out of their holster. The opened the door and saw three men behind a barricade. Gatou and two thugs with armed crossbrows were nervously shaking, especially at Naruto and Sakura walking in.
"Alright Gatou, we're here to take you in 'ttebayo." Naruto said as the shaking men aimed their crossbows at the blonde.
"Y-y-you c-c-came to finish what started at the bridge." Gatou said with his crossbow trembling. That got everyone's attention. That information was Naruto and Sakura's intention from the start.
"I don't remember what happened then, but you are still guilty of illegal activity and will be brought to justice."
"Justice? You don't want justice. Yes, I'll give you anything you want if you just go away. Just name what you want, money, and rarities. I know, you want human sacrifice yes." Gatou retorted to Sakura's words and that shocked everyone.
"Okay midget why do you think Sakura-chan and I want human sacrifice?" Naruto asked wondering why Gatou would suggest something so vile. Something flashed in his mind and Sakura's as well for she started to go pale.
"I see you're starting to remember you demons." He said shaking even harder.
"No, I didn't, I couldn't have." Sakura said and Ino was starting to get worried.
"You didn't do what Sakura?" She asked her once friend now rival in a soft friendly manner starting to get scared.
"I'm not a demon. I couldn't, wouldn't do something like that." Naruto said as he too started looking pale as he backed up.
"What's going on you two?" Asuma said but it was Gatou that answered.
"They're starting to remember what happened-"
"Shut up." Sakura said softly but loud enough to be heard, but he continued anyway.
"-At the bridge. That's where they showed their true selves and, and, and they devoured my men." He finished even more panicked then ever and almost pulled the trigger.
"I said SHUT UP!" Sakura shouted as she channeled her chakra into some shuriken and threw them. Her eyes were slitted and the shuriken themselves glowed crimson as they struck and killed two of the thugs as Gatou jumped backed and fired wildly. He panted, as the pinkette was calming down.
"I couldn't have eaten them, I wouldn't, would I?" Sakura asked more to herself then anyone else. Naruto was mentally wondering the same thing as he remembered the ecstasy of the feast. He shuddered at the thought of feasting on human flesh.
'I couldn't be a murderous demon could I? I already thought of a massacre as a feast. I don't want this.' He thought to himself. He didn't want Sakura to worry about him. Gatou fled as the corpses started to move. Lines were seen throughout the bodies as the mutated into green skinned beings that had rotted teeth and decaying skin with it being so tight that they looked like underfed beings. Naruto grasped his stomach as he doubled over. Sakura also jerked back as her birthmark pulsed too. Strangely enough, Ino's hand started to glow and pulsate as well. Asuma could only stare in fright and awe as the three mutated into monsters. Naruto had nine foxtails thrashing about in comparison to Sakura's six tails. Naruto had gold fur while Sakura's was pink. Ino had a different look entirely. Ino's features were more wolfish in nature, a wolf tail that had an inky black end, platinum blonde fur that covered her entire body, wolf ears adorned her head, intricate crimson markings on her human looking face with a set of fangs as well. The two undead beings attacked the transformed three.
"Agi." Ino said as she launched a fireball at one of them effectively scaring it. Naruto managed to finish it off with a claw strike infused with strange purple chakra, but in the process he was attacked and injured by one of the ghoulish foes.
"Dia" Sakura cried out as a light enveloped Naruto healing his wounds. He quickly rushed to claw out the last undead creature as Ino launched another fireball. With the undead demons dead, the three returned too normal. Looking at what they did. They were a mix of emotions. Sakura looked like she was going to puke, Naruto paled but held it in. Ino was the most shocked of all. This was her first kill and she used jutsu she never saw or heard of before.
"I can't eat them." Sakura said getting everyone out of his or her stupor.
"What the hell was that?" Asuma asked clearly not liking what happened. One of his students turned into a monster as well as two gennin that were currently under his command.
"Forehead, I don't like this hunger. I think I'm going to eat them." Ino stated in a frightened calm. She was scared just like Sakura and Naruto.
"You're not serious are you piggy? Those were people." Sakura said trying not to think about the possibility of being a cannibal. It was then that Naruto intervened.
"I'll eat them." He said scared to lose his humanity, but even more scared of what could happen.
"What? Naruto-kun you want to eat them?" Sakura said horrified at the possibility that the sweet boy that played with her in the hospital would do this.
"I don't know if it's right, but what if we don't eat and start eating our friends? I don't want to take that chance Sakura-chan." He said maturely enough as he bent down and started eating. The familiar taste of raw flesh and blood was going down his throat as Ino and Sakura joined in.
"I don't like what's going on, but I guess Naruto's right. Until we can figure out what's going on only eat criminals and enemies." Asuma said as the three finished their meal and nodded. They continued to wander through Gatou's fortress mansion searching for the man.
BREAK
Gatou had locked himself in his personal office. He was busy contemplating on what to do about the demons that were after him.
"So you are worried about being eaten?" A voice said as Gatou turned to see a man in a black cloak with crimson clouds on it. An orange spiral mask with only a single hole that revealed a three-tomoe sharringan eye covered his face.
"Who are you? H-how did you get in here?" Gatou asked. He was frightened at the fact that someone had entered this office without him knowing as the reinforced door was the only entrance and exit.
"Simply a messenger of war and peace, but I have something to offer you." The masked man said and Gatou listened.
"How would you like the power of the demons?"
BREAK
Naruto, Sakura, Ino and Asuma had just left a room that had girls of various ages inside cages. The men that were there were indulging their libido and never noticed the four ninja were there until it was too late. The pleasure slaves were freed and one little girl was thankful, as she was scared at the fact that she would have been 'trained' as a sex slave, and ran off happily to return to her home.
"Alright, where's Gatou?" Asuma said holding the trench knives to the only surviving thug. The thug gulped as he saw how the three kids transformed into demons and ate the rest of his companions.
"H-H-he's in his personal office. Top level. The door's the only way in or out. Password 097-335-8726" He said before fainting out of fear. He obviously left a foul stench as the three genin with extremely sensitive noses covered them. Afterwards they tied him up and left for the top floor.
BREAK
They made it to the top and found Gatou's office.
"Alright, let's go in there and bust him." Naruto said as Asuma input the password in the electronic lock (It's possible to have these in the Narutoverse to begin with. Especially since they have refrigerators, video cameras, etc.) and the door unlocked.
BREAK
A/N: Oh yeah, I'm bad to leave a cliffhanger mwahaha. Well this is chapter two. The Gatou fight is next and I'll clear a few things. First off I'm more familiar with the demon tarot classification. This means I won't use the original clans like night, yoma, serpent etc. Instead I'm going to use the major tarot like in persona such sun, moon emperor, empress etc. Well, please leave a review telling me if you like, dislike, or have ideas on what you want to see happen. Even suggestions on the harem are okay.
