"Who are you?!" Naruto's first words where.

The old man grinned, "Maou (The Devil 悪魔)" He replied, while keeping his smile.

"Uh… so your Maou… Aren't you supposed to be..… Mad, evil, cruel…. creepy?" Naruto questioned.

"That's just a cliché I use to keep people away from my kingdom. But, if you misbehave…" The old man's grin turned into an inhumane look, "I will eat you."

Naruto stood in silence in till the hooded man spoke, "He's not kidding." He then lifted his sleeve to reveal ghostly white bone.

Naruto's eyes widen, "Did h-he…"

"Yep, he ate me, and then spat me out like this." He said with horror in his voice.

Maou and the man then gave Naruto a hungry glare, it then turned into a smile and they roar in laughter, "Hah! We're just messing with ya…. But seriously, if you disobey me, you will die."

"Then why do you have no skin?" Naruto questioned.

"I'm death." He answered.

"You can't hear?"

"No you idiot, I'm the Grim Reaper. Holder of souls."

"So then why am I here? Shouldn't I be down there, being tortured or something?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, you have so much to learn Uzumaki. You don't even appreciate talking to me, some never get to even see my face. They just learn the ropes from a book that they must study. I handpicked you myself, yet you don't seem honored, I like that. Also, no one gets tortured here except for prisoners. And make big note of this, you CAN die twice, if you die once more, you'll be placed in an eternity of darkness! Hell is much like life, except some differences. A place were terrible people can live and not hide their true nature! We created ninjas, we created violence! Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the 'creator' of Justu, came from us, sent personally as an archangel, to spread the wonders of fighting and violence as Hellenistic! Don't you get it Naruto? You belong here! In heaven, there is no fighting or justu, just boring music and relaxation. Your system came from us, the teams, the ranked missions, the academy, Hokage's etc. all based off us. That fool Kami doesn't realize that without us your world would be boring, and full of peace and men in suits!" Maou's rant opened a new realization to Naruto, maybe Hell was for Naruto. Without ninjustu, what would he be?

Naruto only had one question that came to mind, "Why does hell look like Konohagakure?"

Maou chuckled, "Hell is Earth, except here, things are a little bit different. There aren't nations, 'Konohagakure' is the empire here. Except it's called Jigoku and the rest like your Kumogakure and Amegakure, is not hell, but places you'd want to be far away from. These are where we send our teams to create order.

People who are to bloody and disobeying, gets sent to what you call Amegakure.

People to light hearted and changed for the best, goes and live in real estate in Kumogakure.

Dirty traitors who don't want to follow by my rules, goes off to the rebellion nation that broke away from Hell's civilization, is in Sunagakure.

The rest of the nations are run by my idiotic brother, Akuma." Maou informed.

"So… what do I do?" Naruto had no idea what was happening, by the way he was talking about it, it seems like Naruto can't just sit back and enjoy afterlife. Unless he escapes off to Kumogakure.

"Well, if you want to go off and join those other Nations I was mentioning, you can anytime you want. Or you can go to Academy, and become an Underworld ninja, and continue doing what you were born to do. Fight." Death spoke.

Naruto raised his eyebrows at the flexible options, Naruto nodded, he'll see how being an Underworld Ninja goes. Why not, what's the worst that can happen? "Alright… when do I start?"

"Well, class starts in 30 minutes, so I suggest you get moving. I'll let your new teacher know you're new to class. It's classroom 306. You should be grateful we put you in such a great class, the most horrible human beings in that class, and somehow the teacher disobeys them." Death spoke. "Now go on, we want you to be late."

"Wait, what about my mom?" Naruto questioned.

"What about her?" Death asked.

"Where is she?" Naruto asked, Kami was saying something about his mother being in 'Jigoku'.

"She's your teacher." Maou explained.

-/-

Naruto dashed down the streets of Jigoku for the very first time, he was thinking of taking a tour around, but that would have to wait. As he passed the villagers, they all looked at Naruto with wide eyes, as if they saw a ghost. Naruto heard them whisper amongst themselves, "Is that him? What's he doing here?" and "Whoa, is that who I think it is?" and, "I think that's the guy who sent me here…"

Naruto ignored their whispers, he just wanted to see his mother. He had many questions for her, like how was she able to be with his father when Kurama broke lose against Pain, when she was in hell? Also, why isn't she in Sunagakure, living the sweet life? And how is she able to make the worst of people act civilized?

Naruto saw the Academy up ahead and he grinned to himself, and dashed through the entrance and into the Academy. He searched for classroom 306, he saw the sign numbered 306 and he sprinted into the classroom. He was about to yell out "Mom!" But then came in sight of its classmates.

"Uzumaki…." Orochimaru growled.

"Wha-what… are you guys do-doing…. H-here?" Naruto stuttered.

"Only a few week till graduation, and this fool gets in and still gets to graduate? Not fair." Deidara complained.

"Who said you were graduating-"Itachi was saying till being cut off.

"Shut it Itachi! You're in no position to talk!" Deidara countered back.

Naruto's mother, Kushina, had to calm down the tension, "Now, now, you know what we said about forgiveness."

The class then sighed as it repeated what Kushina said from the past, "What happens in Life, stays in life." They said.

"Say it again." Kushina said.

"Do we have to?" Nagato sighed, with his elbow on his desk and palm on his cheek, bored.

"What. Did you say? Are you talking back to me?" Kushina gave Nagato a demonic tone, matched with a wicked, sinful, foul glare. A face that Naruto knew no human could create.

Nagato sat straight up and nervously shake his head, "No Mrs. Uzumaki!"

"What was that?" She growled.

"I m-mean. No ma'am Mrs. Uzumaki!" He corrected himself quickly. Naruto watched in confusion as his own mother pushed around the most dangerous beings on Earth, and the ones that put Naruto next to death through battle. Nagato was acting like a petty schoolboy and his mother was the mean teacher that was allowed to hit him with a ruler.

"Now say it again!" Kushina spoke.

"What happens in life. Stays in life." The class said quickly.

Kushina looked at Naruto with a wide smile, "Class I'd like you to meet our new student and my own son, Naruto Namikaze." Kushina grabbed Naruto into a huge bear hug in front of all of Naruto's recent enemies.

"Mom…" Naruto said, trying keep her from babying him in front of his most recent foes. His eyes were locked the class, they gave him an angered glare. Some smirked, getting what they all been asking for.

Naruto saw, Itachi, Deidara, Orochimaru, Sasori, Konan, Kabuto, Menma (Naruto's Dark Counterpart), White Zetsu (Who died later in the war) and Kisame. It seems that only enemies that were recently killed where in the classroom.

Naruto gulped to himself, but he didn't see Sasuke or Madara. Maybe Sasuke was given a heaven sentence for his change of heart near the end, but he was expecting Madara. Maybe they were in a different class, Naruto sighed in relief as he didn't have to deal with the Uchihas. Itachi, Nagato and Konan seemed to be the only ones on Naruto side though, that's what he figured at least. Naruto saved Itachi and Nagato from Reincarnation, and Konan approved of Naruto after the defeat of Pain.

"Okay honey, go find yourself a seat." Kushina said. "There's a free seat next to Deidara and Sasori."

Deidara and Sasori was at the top of the class, Naruto placed his hand down as he walked up to the top of the classroom. He felt glares from all corners of the room, he didn't blame them of course, he was the one that sent a handful of them here. Naruto sat in between Sasori and Deidara in silence.

"So, who's the lucky bastard that sent you here?" Deidara asked, he didn't really have a grudge against Naruto, he had one against Sasuke instead. Sasori didn't mind Naruto at all, he could only blame himself for ending up in Jigoku.

"Madara…" Naruto sighed.

"MADARA?!" Cried out Deidara. The class looked back at Deidara so he lowered his tone, "You fought Madara?" He whispered. "You're lying, you got to be."

"You don't know what happened in… 'Life' after you died?" Naruto questioned.

"None of us know." Sasori spoke.

"It seems we have two more new students! Wow, things seem to be getting busy down there." Kushina called out to the class.

'I wonder if that's Sasuke and Madara.' Naruto thought.

But was wrong, Obito entered the room with his original orange mask, with one eye hole. "Obito?!" Naruto cried out in shock.

"Tobi…" Growled Konan, who sat next to a confused Nagato. Konan did not know his true identity, Obito was the one that killed Konan and stole Nagato's eye.

Kabuto smirked, "Obito..."

"Obito?" Zetsu questioned.

"Tobi?! I wonder how you survived for so long, I thought you were sent to heaven with the rest of the chumps!" Deidara laughed playfully.

The rest of the Akatsuki chuckled in response. Obito use to pretend to be a fool, just so everyone would think Nagato is the true leader. The Akatsuki members that didn't live long enough to witness his true colors, would soon be proven wrong. Kushina chuckled, "Hm, Tobi it seems your very popular."

"SILENCE!" Obito shouted.

Obito shocked everyone, and silence ripped through the room. Obito walked slowly up to the top of the classroom to Naruto, he ignored Kushina's cry to stop and sit down.

Once Obito was in front of Naruto's desk, everyone saw Naruto look of fear, which they all tried to force upon them, but never succeed. The room stared in suspense. "I guess I've been sent here to finally finish off the hero of the leaf.." He said softly. Obito raised his hands and shouted "Chidori!" Naruto closed his eyes to accept his fate, but nothing happened.

Obito looked at his hand and attempted it again, "CHIDORI!" Nothing happened, "What the?" He questioned.

Kushina appeared behind Obito, "Naruto, you want to know how I spread fear and keep order throughout this troubled class?"

Obito quickly turned around to Naruto's mother, who was giving him a murderous glare. "Wh-what are you doing? DO you have any idea who I am?!" Obito's shout was ignored.

Kushina then continued what she was saying, "I take away everyone's ability to fight back." She chuckled cruelly.

Obito's eyes widen at the realization under his mask, Kushina then blindsided Obito with a devastating punch.

-/-

Sasuke walked down the Jigoku's Academy's hallway to room #306. He stopped outside the door and sighed to himself, he placed his hand on the cold doorknob and entered the room. Inside was a handful of familiar faces, they all looked at him in silence. Sasuke noticed Obito, with a swollen red, fist shaped bruise over his exposed left eye. On his desk were broken pieces of an orange mask, which he played around with in silence, he sat in the front row close by the teacher. He had a cone on his head that red 'D.O.R.K'.

"Sasuke!" Sasuke saw Deidara stand straight up in the back of the class, and next to him was Naruto.

"Naruto?!" Sasuke cried out, "What are you doing here?"

"Wh-what? Don't ignore me!" Deidara shouted.

"Deidara stop harassing the new student." Kushina growled, she had an ice pack on her knuckles.

Deidara sighed as he sat back down in his seat, he mumbled to himself. Kushina then said, "There's a free seat next Itachi."

"Itachi?" Sasuke said quietly, he did not notice him.

"Hello little brother." Itachi smiled.

"Aye Deidara, if it makes you feel any better... after your death, you've earned some huge respect amongst the higher ranking Iwagakure villagers… you're some big stuff." Naruto informed, as Deidara slammed his head on his desk.

He groaned, "Thanks… Naruto… Hey, ya know what, you should join me and Sasori's pack."

"We don't have a pack…." Sasori groaned in annoyance.

"Yes we do!" Deidara said.

"You're still mad about being kick out of the Akatsuki? Little heads up Deidara, I don't know you, I hate you." Sasori sighed.

"You say that all the time Sasori... you don't mean it." Deidara said.

"Guys, guys… calm down… I'll join your pack." Naruto said.

"Great, the Akatsuki scum won't know what hit em! Then I should let you in on some stuff. Your mommy there, has it that we all lose our ability to fight, or do Ninjustu. We all start from scratch, so I advise you train, or you won't survive on sparing day. Which is every Thursday, its Monday right now. And Akatsuki is like a clique, a clique everyone's trying to get into. Don't let me down kid."

Naruto nodded and gave Deidara a grin, "Thanks. At least someone in this class doesn't want me dead..."

"Oh no, I want you dead, I just won't gain anything form it." Deidara said.

"Me to." Sasori added,

"Gee… thanks 'pack'..." Naruto sighed.

"Okay class, we have a special agenda today. Today we will have a preview of all 4 sensei's you'll be assigned to when or IF you guys graduate." Kushina said. "It used to be 3, but now that Sasuke, Tobi, and Naruto are here, we needed an extra sensei."

"Ugh, I hate it when she babies us…. I'm old enough to be a sensei…" Zetsu said, but not loud enough for Kushina to hear.

Menma turned around to Naruto and smirked, he then pointed at Naruto while dragging his thumb across his neck. "You're dead." Menma whispered. "Dead." Naruto ignored Menma and paid attention to the front class.

Three people entered the room. They introduced themselves.

First sensei was someone Naruto did recognize, it was Gato, "My name is Gato. Once you're in my team, you'll be treated like the mobsters you are. The Mafia Team will rule Jigoku once again! And defeat the 3rd sensei..." Gato growled towards the familiar sensei.

Naruto did not recognize the second one, it was a female. Her voice was smooth and lovely, "The names Liz, I am nothing but a sensei, to teach and disobey you to better people."

The third one, Naruto knew well, his first enemy. Zabuza. "My name is Zabuza. I will give you bloodshed, and we well slaughter anyone in our way… but not in till you're under my control completely."

Then the fourth entered the room, and everyone literally gasped upon looking at him. It was Madara.

"M-Madara…" Orochimaru said in horror.

Madara spoke slowly, "My name is Madara…. I had power, I had the Juubi, I had happiness… in till HE took it all away from me" Madara pointed dead center at Naruto, everyone in the class turned to him with shock. "So I will tutor my three students…. So they can have the same power I once had, so they can feel the tyrant inside themselves."

The class was in silence, in till Kushina spoke, "Okay class, we will allow the sensei's to teach this classroom so you'll have a feel for what it's like to be a Underworld Ninja."

Deidara leaned over to Naruto, "Whoa… you killed Madara? Now our enemies will know what where capable of."

"What enemies?" Naruto asked.

"Ooh they're out there, and once they know we're capable of this, they'll know we're capable of anything." Deidara said.

"Okay, I'm going for a ramen break. Before I leave, I should warn you. My worst student, Menma. My best student, Kabuto." Kushina informed, she then giggled in excitement as she left the classroom.

Kabuto shot straight up while raising his right fist into the air, "we're free!"

Liz shot an evil look at Kabuto, she quickly threw a kunai knife through his right arm. "Argh! What the hell?"

Itachi gasped, "Are you crazy lady?!"

Her sweet lovely voice turned into a rough, German like accent, "This is how it feels when you're an Underworld Ninja. You may be smart, but can you fight?"

Gato flinched at Kabuto's cry, Zabuza rushed over to his side. "Call a witch doctor!"

"NO! No witch doctor, there is no doctors in the warzone." She said.

"Move it sweetheart, I'm getting a doctor." Zabuza growled, as he walked to the door.

Zabuza felt a wire lean against his leg, Liz smirked. "If you move an inch, you'll set off this entire Academy."

"WHAT?!" Most of the class shouted.

"You're lucky we have no way to fight back." Kisame said. "You wouldn't mess with us then."

Liz chuckled in petty, "Do you realize who you're talking to? This is the trap queen."

"Liz the Trap Queen? The same Liz that used a trap to defeat the Four tailed beast, the one who trapped the 3rd Hokage in an abyss for three days…." Deidara said with complete focus.

"You know her?" Asked Naruto.

"Yea…. She's my aunt…" He sighed. Liz noticed Deidara all the way to top of the classroom, "Oh Kami does she see me?"

"Deidara? Is that you?" She asked kindly.

"Yes… auntie…" He said embarrassed, the classroom chuckled in amusement.

"You idiot! When did you die?! You know if you were smart enough you'd still be alive! I told you should have went to Kumogakure, but nooooo, you wanted to chase your art dreams. Now look at you! Dead! I knew this would happen, who killed you?" Liz nagged and then questioned.

"My…. Myself…" He sighed.

"Suicide, just great! I knew it! Stupid, just stupid." She said in disappointment.

Zabuza was about to back up, but a wire was behind his lower waist. Wires surrounded him all over, he was trapped. "You're dead…" Zabuza growled.

Gato held a gun behind Liz head, "NO! I will not be outshined like this."

"What are you doing you useless fat fool?" Liz growled. Madara watched in silence, not looking to interfere.

"WAIT!" Sasori yelled, "Where. Is. Menma?" The class troublemaker, if it wasn't for Menma, Deidara would be the worst student. The fact that Deidara isn't the worst actually says a lot.

Everyone looked around but then he suddenly appeared beside the wired Zabuza, "So this stuff actually goes off?" He said in wonder, as he poked the wires.

Naruto acted quickly, he jumped up from his seat, "Edo-Me noo!" He ran to him but then accidently tripped on a miss tied shoelace, Naruto fell over the wires, about to land on Zabuza. Everything felt like it was in slow-mo, Zabuza wasn't even able to look at Naruto, his eyes widen as he saw his shadow close in.

"NARUTO NOOO!" Everyone roared.

From afar, outside of the Academy, you would see it explode into flames. The loud bang ripped through the skies, and the smoke raise to the sky. The classroom and the half of the academy were destroyed, the classmates of 306 laid on the burnt ground with much pain. They groaned to themselves, "Someone please…. Call a Witch D-doctor.. I think ash got into my wound…" Kabuto groaned.

"N-no! No Witch Doctor! I didn't even use real explosive, you should be grateful." Liz called out.

"Lady…. Your super crazy… Now Mrs. Uzumaki is going to kill us…. Literally." Zetsu sighed.

They all groaned as everyone except the senseis where grounded in pain.

XxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxxX

Naruto watched as the Witch Doctors aided the entire Academy that just happened to be on the side of the explosion. Naruto stood next to his mother, "I'm sorry mom…"

"Ah, it's okay. You were just trying to help, just remember that pain you felt from the explosive fireworks." Kushina said.

"Fireworks..?" Naruto questioned.

"Of course, she's not crazy enough to use real explosives, you all would be dead." She chuckled, "How about you go take a break and get some ramen."

Naruto could agree to that, he nodded as he walked off but then asked, "Where is it?"

"The same spot where Ichiraku would be, everything is basically the same here." Kushina explained.

Naruto nodded, if everything was the same, then was there much reason to take a tour. He was expecting Jigoku to look different, but instead, it's a cold sunless version of Konohagakure. To think Maou happen to choose Konohagakure, instead of any other nation.

Naruto arrived at the ramen stand and said, "Hey I'll have Beef Ramen."

The man then turned around, Naruto flinched when he realized who it was and backed up, "Danzo?!" Naruto cried out.

"Naruto?" Danzo questioned.

"Y-you can cook ramen?" Naruto questioned.

"Do act so surprise, since I'm guessing you're new here, I can kill you off easily. Since I finished the academy months ago, and I finally got all of my powers back, and I'm probably even stronger. So I'd watch your mouth Uzumaki." Danzo spat.

"I wasn't trying to disrespect, I think it's pretty cool that you cook ramen now." Naruto noticed a girl from the far corner, he couldn't see her face. "Who's she?"

The girl turned around and it was Haku, Naruto corrected himself quickly, "Haku! I mean him… not she... err.." Naruto noticed Haku grown well, he beautiful long hair and matching beauty in her eyes. Naruto stopped a blush as he remembers he's a boy and not a girl. But his smile tried to break out the blush, Naruto couldn't keep his eyes off of his lips. 'AHHHHHHH!' He screamed in his thoughts.

"Don't worry Naruto… I'm a girl, I said I was a boy because Zabuza never would have taken me otherwise. It's okay." She admitted.

"O-okay, you looking very beautiful… I Mean! You look g-good, I mean um err..." Naruto stuttered and panicked as his words tripped over his mouth.

Haku giggled to herself as Danzo sighed, "Real smooth Uzumaki."

"Smooth?! I-I wasn't trying to be smooth... I-I-"Naruto was saying till being cut off by a familiar voice.

Deidara called out from afar as he rushed to Naruto and grabbed him, "Come on Naruto! We got to train!" Sasori followed behind, not looking forward to anything at all. Naruto toke one last look at Haku, she gave him a wide grin and raised her hand and waved goodbye.

-/-

Deidara dragged Naruto to a training zone, the same spot where the Bell Test was taken so long ago. "What's going on?" Naruto questioned.

"I found a stunt in the Chakra Takeaway your mothers been using. It's hard to explain, but if you hold the little bit of chakra you got like your holding your breath, it should increase. By Thursday you'll be able to make 10 clones, by next month you can make 50." Deidara said.

"Yes, we've been at this for a while and has been hiding our abilities. Deidara wanted us to fight on Thursday on sparing day and shot Mrs. Uzumaki what he's capable of. Then he was going to fight her." Sasori explained.

Naruto thought it sounded pretty legit, "Alright… why not." Naruto spoke. He did as he were instructed, it was hard at first, but after the first 50 times, it got a little bit easier. Sasori and Deidara spared in the background.

Naruto saw them fight from the corner of his eye.

Deidara and Sasori sent a riot of punches at each other in till Deidara threw a kick which was dodged. Sasori backed up and stepped in something mushy, he looked down and saw the iconic white clay, Deidara smirked, "Bang." He said.

Sasori sighed, "It'll be different on Thursday."

They then went at each other again, Naruto's lounges and chest felt twisted and knotted. Without Kurama, he wouldn't have a second chance in a battle. He wouldn't have no one to assist him in battle. After 30 minutes, he felt his face drowned with sweat, he leaned his hands on his knees and took a breather. Deidara and Sasori walked up beside Naruto, "Man, you ran yourself almost dry." Deidara spoke.

"I think I feel more chakra in my body… I think It worked.." Naruto spoke.

"What? Too soon, there's no way. This takes time Naruto." Deidara said.

"Spare with me." Naruto demanded.

"Are you sure?" Deidara questioned, Naruto nodded in response. "Alright then, come at me."

Naruto stood all the way up to Deidara in a fighting stance, Naruto growled as he leaped at Deidara, he dodged Naruto and kneed him in the gut. "ARGH!" Naruto groaned.

Naruto fell hard on his knees, he clutched onto his belly where Deidara strike him. "Ugh….. It… didn't work..." Naruto then fell to the ground.

Sasori and Deidara looked over Naruto who was looking up to the sunlight producing moon on the ground, "See kid, I told ya. Takes time." Deidara spoke. Sasori nodded in agreement.

"How about we take five." Sasori said in his normal expressionless tone.

Deidara grinned and nodded, "let's go over to that Ramen place, I hear they got pretty good Beef ramen."

Deidara and Sasori continued their conversation walking away, leaving Naruto on the ground, he then slowly thought to himself, 'I Hate Jigoku.'
