A ninja among devils
The rights of the animes that I use do not belong to me
"... What are the devils? What are humans? What am I ... me?" Naruto wondered with almost desperation in his tone - normal speaking.
"What does the old man see in those brats?" Naruto thought with confusion when he saw the children in their base - thoughts.
Chapter 2: Memories and Training
Naruto walked with Mephisto Pheles through the corridors of a large mansion, looking with curiosity palpable in his eyes his surroundings, amazed by everything he saw.
He felt somewhat amazed and curious when he arrived at the castle. They were received by a group of servants and servants, who bowed before their arrival, but not only bowed to Mephisto, but before him.
Mephisto Pheles had been very quiet since they arrived at the castle or mansion, guiding him calmly in his eyes through the corridors, telling him more than once not to delay.
After walking for a few minutes, they came to a large garden, with different types of flower arrangements, plants, trees, a beautiful place to admire.
"He must be coming soon." Mephisto said calmly and his hands on his back.
"What do you mean, Ttebayo?" Naruto asked confused, noticing how Mephisto only pointed to the sky, and the next thing Naruto saw made him open his eyes in shock.
A huge winged monster, which was approaching them quickly. The color that stood out most in the monster was purple, with two large horns on its head and large wings on its back.
The huge being landed, and looked at Mephisto for a moment, then put his eyes on the boy.
"Who is the brat?" Asked the monster with curiosity in his voice.
"Someone very important." Mephisto replied calmly, but noticing how Naruto did not stop seeing the new being with eyes so wide that they would could come out of their sockets. "Naruto, Tannin is a ... " Mephisto fell silent as Naruto spoke.
"A ... A ..." Naruto whispered, thinking he knew the species that was in front of his eyes. "A giant lizard, Dattebayo!"
" ..." Silence filled the area to hear that scream from Naruto, who only pointed to Tannin with a surprised face. Mephisto could only look at the boy with amazement.
"..." Tannin just looked at Naruto with a face without emotion, to then change his look from the child to the pureblooded demon- Tell me what is my lunch ... please."
"No ..." Mephisto just rubbed his temples a little tired, knowing that what had just happened would be something very frequent in his castle "Tannin … I have called you to tell you that you will be the person to train him. The training starts tomorrow."
"I see ... " A big smile appeared on Tannin's face when he heard that, looking at Naruto with hunger in his eyes "Does it bother you if you lose any arm orleg ...?"
"…" Mephisto really was considering that idea, and Naruto looked at the demon astonished because he thought about it. Catching Naruto's gaze, he just sighed. "He must come made dust ... not hurt without repair."
Tannin understood what he was referring to. The training should physically and emotionally destroy the brat. But that destruction should not be permanent.
After those words, Tannin took off the ground and began to leave, leaving behind a somewhat fearful child and a smiling demon.
"Have you lost your mind, old man?!"nNaruto asked pointing to Mephisto with his right hand. "You're really going to leave me with that giant lizard?!"
"Dragon. Tannin is a dragon."bMephisto corrected with a funny smile.
"I do not care about the species of that lizard, Dattebayo! " Naruto shouted with his eyes blank, moving his right hand with his clenched fist. "What I'm saying is that ..." But Naruto fell silent when he felt the familiar sensation in his right arm.
The pain in his right arm. He had had it since he woke up. He did not understand what it was, but every time he used his right arm a lot, that painful sensation appeared.
"Hey. Are you okay? " Mephisto asked when he saw him remain silent for a few moments.
"Yes ... it's just pain. " Naruto replied with a grimace on his face, holding his right wrist.
"Have you had it since you woke up?" Asked the devil with curiosity.
"Yes ... since I woke up in that river." Naruto looked at the devil without understanding the reason for the question.
"Interesting ..." Said the devil with a small smile "Anyway, do you want to do it here or in a more comfortable place?"
"What thing? " Naruto asked with confusion.
"That I enter your head to find your memories." Naruto's eyes lit up at that.
"Do it here, old man."nMephisto's eyebrows trembled at being called that way by the brat.
With some reassurance, Mephisto began to mutter words that Naruto could not understand. While he muttered more, the old man approached Naruto, and when he finished, he placed his hand on the boy's head.
Naruto opened his eyes when he felt something strange going all over his body.
...
Mephisto opened his eyes, seeing only darkness around him. Looking around, he saw that there was indeed only darkness in the area.
Starting to walk, he noticed that the ground was covered with water.
The pureblood demon walked through the darkness looking around, trying to find the brat's memories.
The boy had forgotten them, not lost, so they were still in his head, and it was his job to find them to gain Naruto's trust.
After walking for a few minutes, Mephisto stopped to see what could be a great door, but with words written on it, kanjis if he was not wrong.
Approaching the door, Mephisto began to analyze it, reading the kanjis and trying to find out what they meant. The pureblood demon spent a couple of minutes reading, and discovered something interesting.
Apparently, the door was closed by a seal, a seal which was difficult to open, but he was the great Mephisto Pheles, he could discover any kind of magic he was an expert in that area.
But as the minutes passed trying to open the door, he discovered something important. The door was not closed by magic.
"So I can not open it ..." Mephisto thought with a frown "Could I break it a Little? ... If I do that, maybe some memories will flow." But something of concern went through the face of the demon. "But to break it a little I need to release some power ... I hope I do not break the brat's mind too much."
An aura began to be visible around the body of the demon, and this little by little began to touch the door closed by seals. Grunting with the effort, Mephisto exponentially increased his aura, causing the whole place to start shaking. The pureblood demon released a sigh of relief when he managed to stick his hand in the door, and taking it out, yellow light began to come out of the hole.
...
Naruto's eyes widened.
"When you have someone important to protect ... it's when you become truly strong"
"I never give up ... I'll never back down to my word! ... That's my Ninja Way!"
"Until I become a Hokage ... I do not intend to die!"
"Those who break the rules are scum ... but those who leave their partners are worse than scum"
Tears began to fall through Naruto's eyes. Things went through his mind. Images, words, places, people.
A battlefield. Hundreds of dead. White men. Giant beasts. A blue sphere. Frog eyes. He himself fighting, surrounded by what could be called clones.
But just as everything came in a sigh, it disappeared as such. Same as Naruto's consciousness.
...
Mephisto was watching something interesting.
The moment he sank his fist into the door, he saw the yellow light literally illuminate all the darkness around him. Just so that seconds later the light would be extinguished, and the hole would be sealed. The door was closed.
But something good came out of it. He was sure that the brat got to see some of his memories, because he also saw a good part of them.
He should talk to that brat immediately.
Deciding it was time to leave, Mephisto was about to disappear. It was like that until he heard a laugh behind him.
...
The great nine-tailed fox felt frustrated.
He did not remembered anything besides his name and a couple of interesting facts about his past, and data about his current situation.
Being inside a brat was something that astonished and angered him. He knew very well how much strength he had. He should be free, but no, someone decided to put him inside a brat, leave him to his fate and without memories.
But it was fortunate to keep a good part of those memories. Although he did not think that would be considered luck.
All he remembered were greedy humans and liars. No matter what words they say, humans only sought his power. That man who found the brat was no different from them. That man looked for the brat for the power that let flow, nothing more, he did not rescue him for the kindness in his heart that surely did not exist.
"Kyuubi, now you are nothing more than a set of composed energies with an ephemeral existence that were a long time ago"
"You are nothing but an unstable and unknowing force"
"It is the Uchiha that can guide you ... The Bijuus are only slaves of those who have these ocular powers"
He would like to find that human who dared to say such words and eat it.
He had a couple of memories of his past. Apparently he remembered more than the brat named Naruto. He remembered enough to know what he was, but not enough to discover why he was in the brat.
All he knew was that he was a Kyuubi, or Kurama, his name. A Tailed Beast. A being that was a long time ago a single being. A being that has been part of a God Builder of Nations for a long time.
Kurama stopped thinking when he saw the yellow light that illuminated the whole area, and the memories that were not his began to assail his thoughts.
"If I doubt my own decisions, I will be lost!
"Hey Kyuubi ... I would like a day free from the hatred you carry inside"
So he and the brat knew each other before. That was interesting. He chuckled amused at the words he heared.
Kurama heard the steps thanks to his superior hearing, and in that moment, he saw how the man named Mephisto Pheles approached, looking around with some caution.
It was natural that he could not see it. It was hidden in the darkness of the room, that with little light, you could only see the nothing in front of your eyes.
Mephisto had his reasons to be cautious. After all, he saw in the boy's memories many things that were not pretty. And he saw who was inside the brat's body.
It amazed him that a Kyuubi fox was inside the child, more than that Kyuubi was so powerful. The most powerful Kyuubi fox with life was Kitano, the leader of the Youkai faction. And his strength was equal to that of a Supreme Class Demon.
But that fox that was in front of his eyes was immensely powerful. Surely it would give good fight to the Celestial Dragons.
"Mh ... It seems that you came to the fox's den." Kurama said with a funny smile, coming out of the shadows so that the demon would take a step back.
"You are bigger than I thought ..." Said Mephisto, certainly intimidated.
He was not arrogant or stupid. Right now he was in a life or death situation. If the fox wanted, he could kill him, which would lead to a brain death in his real body out of Naruto's mind.
"Hehe ..." Kurama chuckled "Your flattery will not save your life ... What will do that will be how you behave."
"You are Kurama then." Mephisto deduced with a nod, watching as the fox observed him curious "I know by the child's memories."
"Yes ... I've seen them too." Kurama said looking down in question.
"Where are you two from? " Mephisto asked with doubt "You are the first Kyuubi with your power ... " Kurama's ear moved to know that there is more tan one Kyuubi "And the brat is not far behind ..."
"I have no idea where we came from ... " Kurama said looking at the ceiling of the room "I only woke up in that river with the brat. After that, I don't remember much."
"The two are the same in that aspect." Said the devil nodding with his head.
"I'm going to ask you something ... if I do not like the answer, I'll eat you." Kurama looked at the demon seriously."mWhat are you going to do to the brat?"
"... He is only an ally. I think to train him, to strengthen him, to turn him into a strong brat for ..." Mephisto could not continue speaking when Kurama spoke.
"To take advantage of my strength?" Kurama asked in a dangerous tone.
"I admit that your strength will be very useful ... Mephisto replied crossing his arms, slightly opening his eyes when he heard something. "Do you worry about him? "
"Not enough to kill you for his safety ..." Kurama answered in a bored tone. "But to kill you out of boredom and take him away."
"I see." Mephisto learned that the fox was very direct with his intentions. "Well ... I'll go now. I already did what I came to do."
"Be careful, and try to be my entertainment." Kurama said watching the demon slowly fade away. "You also be my entertainment, brat ..." He murmured to the air beginning to lie on the floor. "Otherwise, I will eat you."
Time after
Naruto was opening his eyes, and when he opened them completely, he looked at the ceiling with a slightly dazed look.
Sitting in bed, Naruto began to look around for things or someone, a specific elder. Without finding it, he got up completely to notice that he was o wearing as a dress a black suit with shorts and matching shoes ("Imagine something that Millicas Gremory would wear").
Looking at that clothing in a mirror in the room, he decided that that would not be what he would use. He did not know why, but it felt terribly disgusting to dress like that, very uncomfortable.
Walking towards the exit, Naruto opened the door, to be surprised by what he saw behind her.
A maid and a servant, both waiting for him with quiet looks.
"Lord Naruto ..." Said the maid in a voice without emotion "Lord Mephisto is waiting for you in the gardens."
"D-Don't call me "Lord", Dattebayo ..." Naruto said scratching the back of his neck, feeling somewhat embarrassed "Where is the old man?"
A frown appeared on the maid's face at the child's lack of respect, but even so, she spoke with her usual calm tone.
"Lord Mephisto is in the gardens ..." Naruto nodded with his head, still keeping his face of doubt-" We will guide him. "
"Thank you, Dattebayo." Naruto said with a smile on his face, beginning to walk behind the maid and the servant.
After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the garden, to meet Mephisto at a table drinking tea in his cup, having a face of total tranquility, it was like that until he heard a great scream, causing his cup to shake and a grimace to appear in your face.
"Hey! Old man!" Mephisto seriously considered the idea of leaving the brat to his fate in the training that he and Tannin would subject him to. Turning his head slowly, Mephisto watched with a frown as Naruto approached with his servants. "Could you get into my head?" He asked when he arrived, having a hopeful face.
"Tell me you. " Mephisto said getting up from his chair to look at Naruto, without leaving aside his tea. "Do you remember anything? "
Naruto closed his eyes, trying to remember what he saw before losing consciousness.
To be helpful, Mephisto walked to his side to place a hand on his head.
...
Trees everywhere. Vegetation wherever you look. Naruto and Mephisto were behind the trees, looking at what could be said to be a slightly older version of Naruto, being an orange lover.
"Naruto is just the demon fox who wants to use the powers of the parchment!" Naruto walked a few steps to see how a gray-haired man was talking to another man with a scar on his face, but that man was hurt.
"Yes ... that would be true if he was a demon fox " Said the wounded man with a smile on his face. "But, Naruto is different ..." Naruto had his eyes wide open, beginning to feel emotions that he should not feel. "He is ... he is an excellent student whom I have recognized ..." A strange feeling of joy began to expand through his being. "He tries with enthusiasm ... however it is somewhat clumsy, and others reject it ... " Many emotions began to invade Naruto's body and Mephisto noticed how he began to tremble." He understands the suffering of others ... He is no longer a demon fox!" Mephisto slowly approached Naruto, standing by his side and seeing his face. "He is ... a member of Konohagakure not Sato ... Uzumaki Naruto!"
Mephisto noticed how great tears were coming down Naruto's eyes as the boy trembled seeing the face of that wounded man.
"Iruka ... sensei ..." Whispered Naruto looking with tears at Iruka's face.
"Go idiot ... " Said the man with the big ninja star on his back. "Iruka ... I told you I was going to kill you later, but I've thought better ..." The great shuriken began to turn in the hand of man. "Die now!"
Mephisto saw how the Naruto orange lover jumped in front of Iruka, hitting the man with the Shuriken, and preventing Iruka from suffering damage.
"Don't touch Iruka-sensei again ... Or I'll kill you!" Naruto shouted orange with anger.
"Who do you think you are?!" The gray-haired man shouted. "I will kill you in the blink of an eye. "
"Dare yourself ..." Naruto lover of the orange brought his fingers in front of his face, and Mephisto noticed how the Naruto next to him also did it. "I have done thousands of times more damage than you."
"Why don't you try it?! You can, you are the demon fox!" The sensei shouted beginning to run towards Naruto.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! / Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" The children shouted in sync.
...
Mephisto left the mental link to see what he wanted to see, but at the time of doing so, he noticed something unusual.
It was covered in smoke.
When that smoke cleared, Mephisto's eyes were wide open.
About ten Naruto were around him, looking at each other with astonishment in their eyes. The astonishment of the original Naruto was as much as tthat of the devil.
"This are ... illusions?" Mephisto whispered in amazement, approaching one of the Narutos to touch his hair, feeling the hair and the head of this clone. "No, they are physical clones ..." Purely amazed whispered. "Chakra constructions."
Mephisto felt it. Those clones were made of pure chakra. Physical clones that could surely hit and do all kinds of tasks.
Approaching one of the clones, Mephisto hit him, causing him to scream and explode in a cloud of smoke.
"Hey! " Naruto shouted original looking at the demon with evil eyes, like his clones. "It's me you're hitting! Don't do it, Dattebayo!"
"Yes!" Shouted another clone with anger.
"The boss is right! " Supported another clone raising his fist.
"Elder abuser!" Mephisto's eyebrow trembled at that, but taking a breath and counting to ten, he was able to regain his calm.
"They are not very resistant ... a strong blow is enough to burst them ..." Mephisto began to ramble, observing the multitude of clones around him. "Let's see... Naruto, did you feel anything when that clone exploded?"
"... I think so ... something very strange." Naruto began to say in his thoughts. "It was as if I were in his place ... in the place of that clone. Strange, Ttebayo ..." Mephisto had his eyes wide open.
"You." Mephisto spoke taking a clone by the collar of his shirt. "You will come with me. "
"H-Help!" Shouted the clone beginning to be dragged by Mephisto, having a face of pure terror. "This old man is going to kill me! Do something, Dattebayo!"
"Those who move, follow him." The original Naruto and clones stopped at the words the demon said, looking at the ground, refusing to see the eyes of the clone that yelled for help.
"Cowards! " Screamed the Naruto clone while being dragged by Mephisto.
The clones and original Naruto were left alone for a moment, thinking about whether they should help their fellow clone. Some clenched their fists, some their teeth, or both at the same time, having a helpless look on his face. All because his fellow clone was about to die terribly at the hands of an old psychopath.
"We should not be afraid, Ttebayo!" Naruto suddenly shouted original, causing all the clones to look at him like a light. All the clones were looking at Naruto, their boss, who was in their midst, with his fist held high and a look of determination on his face "Separated we are weak! We know that is weakness! What are we going to do now?!" Naruto asked in a scream, seeing how his clones regained confidence, smiling and clenching their fists. "Let's get stronger! Let's get up and fight! There is nothing to fear! Because ...! " Naruto shouted, and the next thing that happened was that all his clone shouted in sync with him.
"... WE ARE NOT ALONE, DATTEBAYO!" The clones shouted, recovering their fighting spirit, beginning to move in the direction where the clone left with Mephisto Pheles, but stopping abruptly when everyone felt something enter his head.
Mephisto walked calmly towards the clones, dusting his hands and looking with confusion as all the clones and the original looked at him as if he had grown second head.
"What were all those screams a few moments ago?" Mephisto asked in a dangerous tone. He had to get rid of possible rebels in the hive.
"N-Nothing!" The clones shouted beginning to whistle innocently, kicking the ground and looking away.
"Anyway." Said Mephisto, approaching Naruto. "What did I say to the clone that I blew up a few moments ago?"
Some clones coughed the word "Elder Psychopath", others "Homicidal", but Naruto had a confused look on his face.
"What do you mean? What you say to the clone remains with the clone, right?" He asked confused, not understanding what Mephisto was referring to.
"Try to remember brat ..." Said Mephisto approaching Naruto original.
A look of concentration spread across Naruto's face, and in an instant, I scream because he remembered it.
Mini Flash Back
"Cowards!" Screamed Naruto clone while being dragged by Mephisto.
Mephisto continued to drag Naruto clone for several minutes, listening to the clones' pleas and cries with an irritated look on his face.
He wanted to make sure he was far enough away so that it is practically impossible for the words would say to be heard.
"Okay." Mephisto said releasing the collar of Naruto's clone shirt, causing it to fall to the ground. "Now, you brat, you ..." But Mephisto Pheles opened and closed his mouth without words that came out of her because of what he saw when he turned around.
The clone was now on his knees, with his fists together and waterfalls of tears coming from his eyes.
"Don't kill me! Old man!" Begged the clone with fear. "I've only lived seconds! There are still things I want to do!"
"Brat ..." Mephisto rubbed his temple with a look somewhat irritated by so much drama. "Listen well what I'll tell you."
"Eh? What will you say, Ttebayo?" Naruto clone asked with curiosity, causing Mephisto to look at him for a moment with a blank face. A few seconds ago he was crying for his life, and now he was bright with curiosity.
"I'll tell you something very important. Listen well." Mephisto said with pure seriousness in his face.
Naruto looked in anticipation and great curiosity at Mephisto's face. His eyes shone because he wanted to know what the devil would say.
"... You're an idiot." Mephisto said with his serious face, causing Naruto to look confused for a few seconds, then change his face to one of anger.
"Who do you call an idiot?! Damn old ...!" Naruto clone could not finish talking when a blow ended his short existence.
End of the Mini Flash Back
"Who do you call an idiot?! Damn old man!" Naruto yelled pointing at Mephisto with his eyes white with anger, causing him to have his normal reaction of sighing, but Mephisto's eyes widened as he noticed something important.
Naruto remembered what he had said to the clone, which was several meters away at the moment it dissipated. So it only meant one thing.
"The experiences of the clones are transmitted to the original adter disappearing ..." Whispered with a smile that grew more and more in his face. "Hehehe … Hahaha! Hahaha!" A psychopathic laugh began to escape from Mephisto's mouth, which frightened slightly the clones and the original.
The unlimited potential. The brat could remember the experiences that his clones lived at the moment they disappeared. Which meant a single damn thing. Unlimited potential.
Now with six or five years he was able to create ten clones, but still maybe he could create more. When it grew, the clones would increase. Months maybe years of training and information assimilated in just days or weeks. Knowledge that would take years to finish learning learned in a short time. The fucking unlimited potential .
"Hey! What are you doing, old man?!" Shouted Naruto and his clones when Mephisto hugged the original Naruto, beginning to take him without a fixed destination, but Naruto could hear things that the demon was muttering, causing a chill to run down his spine and that of the clone .
"Time to train ... Time to train ... Time to train!" Mephisto sang a macabre song, which told the story of how he would exploit the potential of the brat to an unrecognizable level. Without thinking about the fact that maybe it would break Naruto's body and mind in the process.
Time after
Naruto was sitting in the garden, with his back resting on a tree, looking at the sky and the clouds.
Many years of training gathered in just a few years. That's what happened when Mephisto discovered the special ability of Kage Bunshin.
During the years that passed, Naruto discovered many things regarding the identity of the old man.
He discovered that he was a famous demon in the underworld, a very old and wise one. Basically, he discovered everything that happened in the world, all species, mythological beings, creatures, everything taught by Mephisto. It was a little shock to find out about all that.
After learning everything that the world would bring, they immediately started training, which was torture, physically and psychologically.
It was a physical torture because Tannin and Mephisto were two sadistic lovers of suffering, his suffering in specific. And it was psychological because mental exhaustion by the clones was a lot.
They were seven long years, in which he trained under the tutelage of Tannin and Mephisto, training to exhaustion with clones following his example.
Mephisto trained him more than anything in the theory of everything he could find. Demonic history, the history of the three factions, the different species and races. History of the human world, things related to mathematics, economics, philosophy, art, studies that would give each normal child. After that, he trained him in a magic that would be very useful when traveling, because without his knowledge that is what he would do in a short time.
Runes was a useful magic, because he could do many things with it. Runes of silence, Runes of storage, all kinds of Runes. Perfect for traveling.
Mephisto was someone very intelligent, so he had no trouble reading a book of martial arts and showing them to the brat in a few hours thanks to his clones. The close combat, how he had to move, attack, counterattack, dodge, everything that would have taken months to learn, he learned in a few days thanks to his clones, which were many at once.
Tannin's training was more brutal. Naruto did not know if that should be called training. It was more like a complete class of how to survive at the hands of a dragon that would not shake his hand when trying to eat you. It was just a class because since he set foot in the forest, Tannin told him a simple word. "Survive" And the next thing Naruto knew was that he was running away from a dragon spits fire that wanted to devour him.
At the time of the melee training, Mephisto concentrated on trying to increase his physical strength and exploit Naruto's ultra resistance, which was much in itself. Unfortunately, for Mephisto, the Kage Bunshin could not be used to pass the physical training, only the experiences and knowledge, so atthe time of physical training the clones were forced to read and study, something that was severely wrong, and at the same time, see how their beloved boss received a beating from Mephisto.
With the passage of time, Naruto came to discover more things about himself.
How he used a rare energy in the world called chakra, which only the Youkai had access to. That made him happy at the prospect of being related to the supernatural beings of Asia, but Mephisto had to break that happiness by telling him that he was 100% human.
The next thing Naruto discovered was what would become his second technique or personal jutsu.
A technique that combined the rotation, power and compression of his chakra to very high levels, so much that Mephisto Pheles has called it a technique that has reached the highest possible point.
Thanks to that time that Mephisto entered his head the first time he arrived at his mansion, Naruto discovered that technique, was called Rasengan.
Mephisto told him his situation with his memories. Apparently, a very powerful seal was on the door of his memories. It was only luck that Mephisto years ago could break that door enough for some of his memories to flow. That seal was very powerful, because it strengthened every time Mephisto tried to break it, forcing him to use more force than he should, running the risk of hurting him in the process. So, until further notice, his memories would remain in oblivion.
But that was not something that Naruto cared about, because the last time Mephisto broke the door, a few memories came to the surface.
It was in those memories that Naruto saw someone very important that was inside him.
He did not understand what was happening to Kurama. In his memories, he and the fox had a stable relationship, if being fighting together against five huge beasts was stable. But what happened was that the fox had not spoken to him in a long time. He spent being a lazy sleeping all the time. The words he could get were a sarcastic comment and an occasional laugh, nothing more.
But he would not give up. He thought that Kurama was in a certain way his companion, because both were in the same conditions for what Mephisto told him. He would get Kurama to be his friend, just like he did a long time ago.
So, right now he knew more than whenheI arrived at the mansion seven years ago. He knew his name, his most used and powerful techniques, he knew he was involved in a massacre before losing the memories surely, he remembered Kurama, and vaguely remembered that man, Iruka-sensei, giving him a bowl of ramen.
He had eaten ramen before, a meal that was very difficult to cook for the chef of the mansion. But it did not matter that the chefs did not know how to prepare it, because the ramen could only be described by a few simple words. The food of the gods.
But that was not the only thing he remembered.
It was curious that in those memories, he looked older, something he could not help noticing. That information was told to Mephisto, and the demon spent a lot of time thinking about explanations and theories of what those memories might mean.
Without Naruto's knowledge, Mephisto had come up with a theory he believed to be the right one, but the demon expected Naruto to mature enough to accept the truth, and Mephisto expected Naruto to find someone to tie him to "this world."
In his training with Tannin, he learned many things. One of them was to use his Kage Bunshin for different uses. All he could do was with his clones, they were his method of combat to overwhelm his opponents.
Collaborating with his clones was the Rasengan. With that technique, he got to create many variations and combinations. A rain of Rasengan with his clones. A huge Rasengan. Rasengan in both hands. Many types of combinations and varying techniques.
But everything changed when he discovered the Rasen Shuriken. That technique had unimaginable power. The first time Naruto saw it, he felt some fear. He did not know how it was possible that his previous self could have controlled that technique.
Naturally, the moment Mephisto was informed of this technique, he wanted Naruto to train to master it.
And all that is what brings us here. Where a Naruto is resting from his physical training, and behind the tree where he was resting, while many clones were training. There were many clones.
"Brat." Old Mephisto had not changed anything over the years. He was still the same. "Come here. We need to talk."
Naruto got up, and looked at the old man who waited a few meters away with a cup of tea in his hand.
Getting up, Naruto, thirteen years old, got totally straight and started walking towards Mephisto.
Now his clothes did not consist of those elegant suits that Mephisto forced him to wear for a good season. His clothes consisted of orange cargo pants, a black T-shirt, of shoes, as h had not found sandals similar to those I used before, it consisted of black boots.
Walking towards the demon, Naruto sat on the ground and looked at him somewhat bored drinking his tea.
"What do you want to talk about?" Naruto asked with some boredom, bored because he thought to continue training when his rest was over. But it was the clones that took that luck.
"You will leave for Japan in a few hours." Mephisto said with a sip of tea.
"What?!" Naruto asked and the clones stopped training for a few seconds to look at the astonished demon, being sure that they heard something about Japan.
Naruto had serious theories that he came from that place. His name was Asian, when he found it, Mephisto said he spoke Japanese and that his writing was Japanese. For that reason he had serious beliefs that he was Japanese. Although his physical features contradicted that theory. Blonde hair, blue eyes and tan skin were not traits you would find in the average Japanese.
"You will go to Japan." He said a little irritated again because the brat made him repeat something he already said.
"But, why?" Naruto asked with confusion. "What about the training here?"
"Naruto, we have trained you in everything we could." Mephisto said, referring to him and Tannin. "Now everything is at the hands of the experts."
"Experts?" Naruto looked confused at Mephisto. "What do you mean, Ttebayo? "
"As I told you a long time ago, chakra is an energy that only the Youkai can handle." said Mephisto, looking at Naruto intently. "For that reason you will go to Kyoto. I have friends there. They will help you with your chakra ... Besides..."
"Besides? " Naruto looked confused at Mephisto.
"Remember the time I told you about Senjutsu." Mephisto took a sip of tea, watching Naruto nodding with his head. As you use the chakra ... there is a good chance you can also use the Senjutsu."
"Use Senjutsu?" Naruto repeated in a thoughtful tone. Use the power of nature. The power of the Youkai. Some of that sounded familiar.
"For that reason you will train with the Youkai." Mephisto said leaving his tea on the table beside him "They will train you in the chakra, and see if you are able to use Senjutsu."
"Wouldn't it be strange for them?" Mephisto raised an eyebrow. "I am a child who can use chakra without being a part of Youkai. Wouldn't it be strange to discover my existence?"
"Kitano is my friend. And I explained who you are," Said Mephisto calmly, causing Naruto to make a face of concentration.
"¿Ki..tano?" He digressed with a concentrated face, trying to remember where he heared that name. "Ah! He is the Kyuubi leader of the Youkai fraction."
"... Yes." Mephisto had a somewhat tired face. "Anyway ... " He said with a sigh "You'll leave in a few hours. Prepare."
Naruto nodded with his head, getting up and starting to run to his room, being closely watched by Mephisto.
When the boy disappeared into the mansion, Mephisto smiled slightly.
He admitted that at first the only emotions that Naruto gave him were frustration and anger. But that changed. Now, in a certain way, the boy amused and made him feel truly happy. He was the soul of the old mansion, which brought fun and joy, even his servants smiled more often when the brat was present.
Of something he was sure, the brat would bring great changes in the three fractions. And another thing he was sure of was that he was lucky to find the brat. After all, Naruto was his pawn.
Time after
Naruto walked through Kyoto with his hands on the back of his neck, taking big steps with a questioning face.
He had just arrived in the great city of Kyoto, home to the majority of Youkai that one could find in Japan. And he certainly was impressed by the beauty of the place.
Walking around the area, Naruto saw himself in a shop window.
At the age of thirteen, average 1.53, he had that height for eating almost always ramen, being Mephisto the only reason why he did not eat that food all the time.
In his training, Mephisto forced him to eat a balanced diet, with vegetables and meat, but almost always when he could he skipped those bases to eat ramen.
As in his training, he wore clothes with orange in them. His pants were blue jeans, white sneakers with orange stripes, an orange shirt and a white wristband with an orange stripe on his right wrist.
Naruto liked orange a lot.
He bought that set of clothes on a trip to the human world he made with Mephisto. He didn't wanted to wear those formal clothes, they were too uncomfortable.
In Naruto's body, invisible Runes were spread out. In those Runes, he carried things such as luggage and so on. A way to not carry a backpack or suitcase all the time.
His hair was in a wild, pointed and disheveled style, and he was still the same golden blond, a strange type of color in Japan, that, plus his blue eyes, tan skin and mustache marks made him the center of attention of almost all the people where he passed.
The blond boy stopped when he felt something. Chakra in the area. It was like feeling the chakra of his clone but vaguely similar. That feeling was not equal tone, being something different.
Beginning to run, Naruto without his knowledge headed to the Youkai side of Kyoto, where supernatural beings could walk calmly and without hiding their supernatural side.
Continuing to run for several minutes, Naruto stopped to see something that amazed him.
A beast walking through the streets as if nothing was happening. That beast had the head of a monkey, a white mane, a body of raccoon, tiger legs, and a long tail that is actually a white snake.
Naruto remembered him. What his eyes saw was actually a Nue. A Japanese chimera.
What made a Nue in full view in daylight? Naruto wondered when he came closer to the chimera.
"Hey, are you lost, Ttebayo?" Naruto asked when he arrived in front of the Nue, causing the chimera to turn his face to look at him carefully.
"... What are you?" Wondered the chimera with confusion.
The chimera had every right to be confused. His work was simple. The protection of the princess. And that job was being interrupted because that princess decided to escape from his eyes to walk alone through Kyoto. As his job was the protection and care of the princess, it was clear that he would be surprised because a new Youkai appeared in the city. He could clearly feel the brat's chakra. And to his shock it was a lot.
Therefore, the brat was a Youkai, but he needed to figure out which one. Those whisker marks made him think of a Nekomata, but that was impossible, because there were practically no male Nekomata. The next thing that came to his mind was a Kitsune.
"Uzumaki Naruto." He introduced himself with a broad smile, then looked at the Nue curiosity "What are you doing in broad daylight without hiding?"
"Are you new here?" asked the Nue curiously, making Naruto to nod with his head. "This is the Youkai neighborhood of Kyoto ... Here you can walk with your tails and ears free ..." The Nue smiled sympathetically "Go ahead ... take out your Tails and ears ... don't worry."
"I do not have tails or ears." Nue opened his eyes in surprise. "In fact, I'm not even a Youkai."
"... You are a half-breed ..." He affirmed with a sigh of relief.
"Neither that. I'm a devil." Someone in the shadows opened his eyes after hearing that.
"What does a devil do here?" Wonder the chimera with curiosity, and then narrow your eyes ."If your intentions are bad ... "
"My intentions are not bad!" Naruto said something nervous denying with his hands, interrupting the chimera. "I come here to talk with Kitano."
"What are you looking for from my father?" asked a voice that Naruto did not know, and when he turned his eyes towards that voice, he instantly blushed.
She was a beautiful girl, probably a little taller than him, with beautiful long blond hair and eyes like gold. Her eyebrows were cut, being very short and round, clear sign of nobility. Her outfit consisted of a traditional maid costume under a white coat closed with a red ribbon and a small gold crown. The most curious thing about the girl were her golden fox ears and nine tails on her back.
Naruto had never seen a girl in his life. Mephisto's maids did not count because they doubled or tripled his age. She was the first girl of his age or close that he who could see. And he had to admit something. The girls were beautiful.
"I-I'm going to talk to Kitano about something important!" Naruto said with a little stutter.
The girl smiled when she heard that stutter and saw him blush. She loved to see children embarrassed. That's how they were more cute. It did not help that almost all the children were not with her because of her position as a princess.
"Your name is Uzumaki Naruto, right?" Asked the girl with a beautiful smile. Naruto quickly nodded. "My name is Yasaka. What are your intentions with my Father?"
"Old Mephisto Pheles said I should talk to Kitano." The Nue could not take it anymore.
"More respect to Kitano-sama. He is the leader of the Youkai faction." The chimera said sternly, causing Naruto to shudder slightly and Yasaka to laugh at his expression.
"Sorry ... I come to talk with Kitano ... sama." Said something forced, swallowing his words to say "sama."
"Fufufu ..." Yasaka laughed softly in her hand, causing Naruto to blush again. It was the most beautiful laugh I had heard in a long time "Rokumaru I will take Naruto-san with my Father."
"Are you sure, Hime? ("Princess")" Asked the chimera with concern.
"Hai." Yasaka replied smiling, to then take Naruto by his wrist and start to drag him away from the chimera.
Yasaka continued dragging Naruto, until they were far from the eyes of the Nue. When Rokumaru lost sight of them, Yasaka giggled as she began to run causing Naruto to do the same to avoid being dragged by the girl.
"H-Hey! Yasaka ... san!" He scream with difficulty to the last, causing Yasaka to laugh more.
"Don't call me that!" Yasaka yelled running, letting go of Naruto's hand for the child to stop. As he did so, Yasaka turned, looking at Naruto with a smile "Yasaka is fine."
"Is your father here? " Naruto asked in confusion, causing Yasaka to smile nervously.
"Before going with my father ... I want us to do something." Said a bit nervous the girl, making her tails began to tremble slightly. "I'm bored ... I want to have fun."
"Have fun?" Naruto looked at the girl somewhat confused. "Don't you have fun here?"
"No ..." Yasaka answered, lowering her ears in sadness.
"We'll change that." Naruto said with a broad smile as he began to look in his left hand. "Let's see if I brought that ..." Naruto began to smile broadly the moment he found the Rune he was looking for in his left arm.
Yasaka looked at Naruto curiously, fluttering her tails with interest.
...
A merchant was quiet in his shop in the neighborhood, selling sweets and all kinds of things on the street.
The customers were frequent. Even now I was serving a customer who was watching some American chocolates.
The merchant, who was actually a Youkai Inu ("Dog"), smiled pleased to see how his client's eyes shone in interest.
But that smile was erased at the moment something fell on both of them, that orange painting being something.
"What the fuck?" Asked the dog looking at his precious merchandise ruined by the paint.
But the dog could not do anything when he heard quick footsteps, and the next thing he saw was like a child wearing an orange fox mask was throwing something at his face, which exploded when he was in front of his eyes, having the shape of smoke green.
The half-human dog's face turned green as he sniffed the cloud of smoke, feeling terrible disgust at the bad smell that filled the air.
His client was not better, being in similar conditions.
Leaving with difficulty from the cloud of green smoke, the Youkai dog fell to his knees breathing heavily, taking large puffs. His client followed the path falling to the ground next to him.
The laughter was not long in coming, being something that the merchant and his client heard.
"Damn brats!" Shouted the dog with anger looking up and looking around, looking for those responsible for the joke.
...
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Yasaka laughed loudly, holding her stomach and crying slightly with laughter.
"Hahahaha!" Naruto followed her example, holding his knees and laughing loudly.
"Hehe ... That ... that was fun." Yasaka whispered a little hurt by so much laughter.
"It just starts ..." Naruto said with a broad smile on his face, taking his hand to the Rune where his emergency joke kit was.
...
In the main temple of Kyoto, a Youkai Kitsune was sitting on his throne.
The fox was a somewhat older man, he should not be more than thirty years old. Long golden hair that reached her shoulders with eyes that were golden. White skin and a frown on his face. His clothes consisted of a golden kimono with black. The most remarkable features of the Kitsune were golden fox ears and nine equal tails.
Kitano was irritated. Very irritated.
One of his subordinates, a Youkai Karasu ("Raven"), had just told him something that annoyed him.
Some juvenile delinquents were filling the entire Youkai neighborhood with jokes. Attacking almost all supernatural beings.
The good thing was that the criminals had honor and did not attack pregnant women or young children.
But anyone who was not one of them was the victim of a terrible joke.
He just hoped that his beloved daughter Yasaka was safe and well, and that these juvenile delinquents have not made a joke to her.
"Kitano-sama." The voice of her daughter's guardian, Rokumaru, reached his ears.
Moving his eyes, the Kitsune moved his gaze to see the Nue in the entrance, putting part of his body in the room, in such a way that Kitano could see half of his body.
"Rokumaru." Greeted Kitano calmly "Has something happened?"
"I found the criminals." Rokumaru said with a strange look that Kitano could not decipher, being too busy because he was smiling sadistically.
"Yes ... " Whispered Kitano with a sadistic smile. "It's time to punish the juvenile delinquents ..." Noticing how the chimera looked at him in a conflictive way, Kitano coughed in his hand. "Bring them to me."
Sighing, the Nue entered completely into the room, showing how the juvenile delinquents were entangled in his snake tail.
Kitano opened his eyes in shock to see how one of the delinquents was his daughter, who smiled shyly looking into his eyes.
Naruto, more than frustration at being caught, felt shame.
He underestimated the nose of the chimera, for that reason they could catch them.
"Yasaka-chan?!" The father shouted looking at his daughter in shock. "What does this mean?!"
"Well ... you see ... is that ..." Yasaka was trying to formulate any excuse that came to mind, and one came in the form of the child at his side. It's his fault!"
"What?!" Naruto shouted in amazement looking at the girl who was beginning to cry big waterfalls of tears.
"He-he made me help him with his evils! He corrupted me!" Yasaka sobbed and cried loudly, being watched by an unbelieving chimera and devil.
"The leader of the Youkai faction is not stupid enough to believe ..." Naruto stopped when he heard something that made him open his eyes with astonishment.
"Damn juvenile delinquent!" Kitano shouted walking towards his daughter to untangle her from the snake tail, hugging her instantly, causing Naruto to fall to the ground sitting down "Corrupting my daughter is a crime that is punishable by death! "
"I did not do anything to her! I didn't even force her to do anything she didn't want!" Naruto shouted pointing at Yasaka with indignation. While he could not see the girl's face because she was crying on her father's shoulder, he was sure she was smiling. He only knew it.
"I don't want to hear your lies!" Kitano yelled angrily, patting his daughter's back.
"In fact, Kitano-sama, there are witnesses who claim to have seen Hime voluntarily participate in the jokes," The chimera said, causing Yasaka to tense in the arms of her father.
"It's true!" A voice called for both children cried out, a voice that caused Yasaka to look nervously at the door. There was a Kappa, an aquatic Youkai, the most remarkable characteristic of the supernatural being was that it was covered with golden paint "The princess threw me paint. "And she laughed at it!"
Kitano looked at the aquatic being for a moment, then changed to a stern look as he lowered his daughter from his arms.
Yasaka looked shyly at the ground, playing with the tips of her tails and avoiding her father's gaze.
"You can retire, Suiriki ..." Kitano said for the Kappa to leave. "Yasaka-chan ..." said her name sweetly, causing Yasaka and her tails to shake with fear. "Is that true?"
"I ... well ... Maybe a little." Yasaka said with a shy smile, looking at her father with a slight shrug.
"You're hopeless" Kitano shook his head, rubbing his temples and sighing slightly, causing his daughter to laugh amused. After a couple of seconds lamenting silently, Kitano turned his head to look curiously at Naruto. "You must be the boy Mephisto sent, right?"
"Uzumaki Naruto, a pleasure to meet you Kitano …" Naruto heard a grunt of a certain chimera at his side. "Kitano-sama ..."
"I know your name, brat." Kitano said with a frown.
He had every right to be angry.
Before, his daughter was his little girl. Maybe before she ran away to try to talk to children and have fun, but never reached such an extreme as to make jokes to attract attention. Now that delinquent that Mephisto sent him arrived, and his daughter began to behave differently.
"Do you know why I came?" Naruto asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid yes ..." A sigh escaped Kitano's mouth. He could not help thinking that his friend Mephisto sent the brat to have a time away from the child. "You come to train your chakra and find out if you can use Senjutsu ..." After saying those words, Kitano gained a curious grimace "I'm curious ... Mephisto me that he reincarnated you as a devil ..." He never told me what kind of species you were before that. "Were you a Youkai?"
"No ... in fact, I was human." Naruto confessed a little embarrassed, causing the three beings in the room to look at him incredulously.
"A human with the ability to use chakra ... that is imposible." Said Yasaka astonished. "Naruto-kun ..." A vein was highlighted on the forehead of Kitano upon hearing that affectionate suffix. "Are you sure you have no blood Youkai in your veins?" The fox girl started to approach Naruto, extending her hands when she was in front of him, causing Naruto to open his eyes with surprise and fear as he acknowledged her intentions. "You have whiskers."
"I did not ..." Naruto could not finish screaming because it was too late, Yasaka had touched them, and began to caress them, causing Naruto to make a very peculiar sound. He began to purr. "S-Shit ..." Naruto whispered with eyes that were slowly lost in the pleasure of having the soft hands of the girl caressing his birthmarks.
"They are beautiful ..." Yasaka said with a smile on her face while still stroking Naruto's whiskers, which purred with pleasure.
The vein in Kitano's forehead got bigger.
Seeing his daughter caressing a child's cheeks aroused something inside him that never should have been awakened. The instinct of an overprotective father.
Approaching with slow steps, Kitano placed himself in front of both children, and with a quick movement, he placed his hands on their heads, separating them at that moment and pressing hard, looking at both little ones with their golden eyes with torn pupils.
"Offender ..." Whispered Kitano in a dangerous tone. "Don't put a finger on my daughter."
"S-She's the one who started." Naruto recited in a fearful whisper.
"Ehhh! Why can't I touch Naruto-kun's whiskers!?" Yasaka asked in a disappointed cry, causing Kitano's fierce eyes to settle on her, making her shiver with fear. "Scary ..." She whispered inaudibly.
"I already decided." Kitano said seriously. His daughter was beginning to be too attached to the juvenile delinquent. Therefore, there was only one option. "I am going to destroy you."
"Eh?" Naruto blinked confused, watching as fire began to come out of the fox's mouth- "Ehhhh ?!" Naruto screamed as a stream of fire came out of Kitano's mouth.
"Chichioya!" Yasaka shouted with concern when he saw the jet of fire. "Naruto-kun! "
When the fire was over, Kitano saw with an incredulous look how there was nothing left of the brat.
What he planned to do was burn him a little to inspire fear and get away from his daughter. He never thought that it would kill him.
"I-I think I passed a little ..." Whispered Kitano with some guilt, listening to a sob by his side, and turning, saw how his daughter looked at the place where Naruto was before with her eyes infested with tears.
Technically, he was his first friend without counting the temple guards and guardians. All the other children were away from her because of her position as a princess, leaving her alone and with no one to play with, no one to relate to with her age.
Before, she believed that her destiny was to remain bored and alone in his temple, with no one to have fun with. But that child wanted to change tha
He made her laugh, made her have fun, taught her how to make a joke. All because I wanted to do it.
Yasaka's teeth began to tighten strongly, all this was the fault of ...
But Yasaka could not continue with her thoughts when a scream took her out of them.
"Hey, old man! Are you crazy?" Naruto asked on the roof, and when the fox, the girl and the Nue looked up, they were shocked to see him standing head-down on the roof. After shouting that, Naruto fell to the ground standing up, looking at Kitano with silent fury in his eyes, but that fury went away t moment he saw Yasaka watching him with tears in his eyes, causing him to wince in confusion. "What ...?" But Naruto could not finish speaking because Yasaka interrupted him, doing something that made him open his eyes with surprise.
The girl hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder and smiling happily, happy that her first friend was okay.
What he did a moment ago was to concentrate the chakra on the soles of his feet to stick to the ceiling. Something very useful that he discovered by accident. But Naruto could not just stick to the roofs. Walls, trees, almost any surface.
He could do the same to walk on the water, for it, he has to be emitting a constant flow of chakra to the soles of the feet and using the repellent fo walk through the surface of the water.
Those two things were learned by accident when Tannin almost drowned him in a lake. That's where he learned to emit chakra in a part of his body able to walk and lean on the water. Thanks to that accident, he could discover that he could also walk on solid surfaces.
"Naruto-kun!" Yasaka said smiling happily and with tears in her eyes.
Naruto just returned the somewhat doubtful hug, not knowing what to do or how to react.
Kitano sighed somewhat relieved. At least he would not have to tell Mephisto that his brat died because of him.
When Yasaka separated from Naruto, with a big smile on her face, Kitano decided to speak so that another moment like that would not happen.
"Brat ..." Kitano said seriously. "Your training starts in a few hours. I understand that you can perform a technique to reduce training time."
"Yes ... The Kage Bunshin is very useful, Ttebayo." Naruto said with a big smile on his face, causing Yasaka to look at him curiously.
"Kage Bunshin?" She curiously without understanding what he meant she asked.
"It's a technique that allows me to create physical clones made of chakra." Naruto said as he made the cross seal with his hands, causing a explosión of smoke to appear at his side, showing another Naruto. "Each of them can act for itself or by my orders. They can attack, hit. They can spy since their knowledge returns to me when they dissipate."
"It is a very useful technique." Said Kitano, nodding his head, then looking at the chimera. "Rokumaru will guide you to your room during your stay in Kyoto. Follow him and don't get lost."
"Hai Hai ..." Naruto said something bored while nodding with his head, beginning to follow the Nue with a boring look in his eyes.
"Yasaka-chan ..." Kitano called his daughter the moment he saw her start to walk towards Naruto, with obvious plans to follow him to accompany him.
The girl tensed at the sound of her father's voice, slowly turning her head to watch as the fox man looked at him with crossed arms and a stern frown.
"H-Hai, Chichioya ..." said Yasaka with some fear hidden in her tone.
"You'll stay here ..." Kitano's face was stern as he looked at the somewhat fearful face of his daughter. "We must talk about something important."
Naruto walked being guided by the Nue, having a bored look on his face while crossing his hands behind his head.
When walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a traditional Japanese room, with everything you could find in an ideal Japanese house.
"This will be your room." Said Rokumaru assisting with the head. "Kitano-sama will call you when it is time to train. Until then, get comfortable and used to your room."
Naruto nodded with his head as he entered the room, throwing himself on the futon, lying down and looking at the ceiling.
He just hoped the training was fun, and he begged for more free time to have fun with Yasaka.
