The sound of Naruto soles were the only thing that echoed along the lamp post lit street. He continued his trek as he carried Will on his back. Her chin rested against his shoulder. Despite the fact she was immobilized her thoughts were filled with how warm Naruto felt. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the Vandom residence.

Will's mom was fast asleep on the couch, which meant she must have had a particular long day at word. Naruto gently placed Will in her bed before and left the room. He began wondering on what the hell that snake creature was. Well, he supposed Will was going to ask what he was able to do what he did so we suppose he could ask his own questions from the redhead.

That morning Will woke up, startled, placing her hand against her chest. The heart of Kandrakar was safe inside her. She also took notice she was still in her clothes from yesterday. She let out a sigh of relief. At least that Naruto guy wasn't a pervert and tried to take advantage of her when she was unconscious or at least she hoped so. Patting down for any marks or any other sign of activity she relented after a few minutes as nothing felt odd, well except from where her neck ached from when Cedric tried to choke the life out of her. She exited her room and took a shower and put on a fresh pair of clothes.

She was surprised when she entered the living room and he was nowhere in sight. She then entered the kitchen and once again no Naruto, only her mother.

"Hey mom, did you happen to see Naruto this morning?''

"He said he was going out for a run." Susan answered.

Will sat down at the table and poured some cereal into a bowl. 'Why would someone go for a run this early in the morning?' she wondered. It was only six in the morning and the sun had just barely come out. "And you let him go?" she asked her mother.

"Yes,'' she answered. ''...he said he wanted to get some morning training done before school. I told him that as long as he made it to school it would be fine by me."

"But it's only six in the morning. What if he gets hurt or something?" Will really didn't care about that; she wanted to talk to Naruto.

"Naruto is a big boy he can take care of himself."

"You're not helping mom." Will replied and sighed. But then she thought about last night. Just who was Naruto Uzumaki? Was he a potential ally? Or a new threat.

''Or maybe there's another reason why you're so concerned about our new guest?'' Susan asked with an amused Grin as Will went red.

''Mom! Not even!'' Will replied as her face soon matched her hair.

If there was one thing that Naruto loved it was early morning jogs. The cool crisp air filled his lungs and put his mind at ease. It was the little things like this that people overlooked that made life so enjoyable. Though his concentration was soon broken when he heard a familiar voice.

He turned around to find Taranee behind him.

"Hey what you doing out so early?"

''Morning jog. It helps clear my head. What about you Taranee-san? You're out plenty early.'' he couldn't help but note.

"I'm on my way to school." She answered as she walked up to him. "So you jog in the morning?"

"Yeah, I didn't do it yesterday because I didn't know the way to school." Naruto answered he.

"You want to walk to school together?" She asked.

"Sure," he replied with a shrug. They continue their discussion as they walked.

Elsewhere on another path to the Institute Will was narrating to Hay Lin the events that happened.

"You mean like Quintessence or something?'' Hay Lin asked.

"No, just small lightning bolts that didn't go far from his hand. There was a weird noise too like birds chirping." Will explained as she started to recall more of last night's events.

"That sound weird, do you think he is part of Kuro's army?" Irma asked.

Caleb stood up. "I am sure of it." He said causing a few people to look at him.

"If he was working for Kuro why would he help me? It doesn't make sense." Will pointed out.

"So Kuro or he could have you to themselves." Caleb said. He obviously did not trust Naruto at the moment.

"I think we should talk to him before we jump to conclusions." Cornelia spoke up as she whipped out her cell phone.

Naruto and Taranee were walking down the street towards the school when her cellphone went off. Taranee answered it onlyf or her conservation to end a minute later.

"I'm sorry I have to go. I forgot about something I had to do." She said then ran off.

'Guess I'm on my own for now.'

Naruto looked around and saw one of his teachers. He was about to go up and say hi but she seemed to be acting suspicious. She walked into a construction yard. Naruto followed her at a distance. When he got her back in his sights she began to change. Her hair turned from blond to white as snow, her skin tone took on a lighter shade and her clothes into an elaborate white and black gown of a style he didn't recognize. Naruto was stunned. Just how many beings with unusual power was running around this place?

Being the curious person that he was he followed the mysterious woman whom opened a portal using the necklace that was around her neck. He soon found himself in the middle of a swamp. He looked around and noticed all manners of vegetation including the trees were dead and rotten.

But there was no time to worry about that he was looking face to face with was without a doubt an angry mob, with bladed weapons. They were big green and had only a tunic on besides some leather straps making an "X" over there chest.

Naruto cursed the fact that he left his shinobi tools in his locker. So much for his always prepared motif. Naruto jumped back onto a log as the closest swung their sword at him. "He came through the portal with Kuro's servant!'' One of the creatures exclaimed.

"Who?" Naruto asked but they just kept pressing the attack. He jumped to the nearest tree, using chakra to bolster himself to the nearest one. Just as quickly he moved as the rotten branch gave way from under his weight. He shook his head wondering what he got himself into. He soon got out of the swamp and quickly found a river. He waded into the water and washed the mud off his cloths. Luckily they were thin enough for them to dry quickly.

He decided to follow the river which as fate would have it was a bad idea. He arrived at what looked like the climax of a battle. There was two combatants. One was a teenage girl about the age of Will and her friends with straw blond hair and the other was a much taller and older male with frost white hair who looked rather feminine.

"Why do you fight your fate little sister? You were hardly a match for me over a year ago, but with the Kuro's blessing you're hardly a challenge for me anymore."

"As long as there is breath in this body I won't give up Phobos. I won't let you ruin Meridian again and cause my people suffering even if it kills me." she responded.

Naruto could tell that she was hurt badly. If it went on too much longer she would probably die.

"Then you die! Long live Queen Elyon," he responded with a sarcastic sneer as he prepared to fire another lightning attack.

Without a moment's hesitation Naruto sprung into action. Quickly forming a Rasengan in hand he flashed between them as the Spiraling sphere took the brunt of the attack before it could hit the girl identified as Elyon. Her eyes widened as someone came to help her. Naruto landed on the lake the two were flying over.

The man identified as Phobos was filled with fury. "Who are you to stop us from fighting?"

Naruto looked up at the man with a sharp, murderous look. "It doesn't matter who I am. All I know is that those who are willing to turn their back on their family is nothing more than trashed to be destroyed."

Phobos felt Naruto's monstrous intent from the blond, the dark aura enough to cause his lungs to freeze and prevented his body from moving. Somehow he was able to will himself to breath.

"What...are ...you?" he asked between gasping breaths. It was getting hard for him to breath. Hell he could barely move a finger. 'How can he be so strong, he hasn't even moved and he's attacking me.'

Naruto then let out a roar causing the water in front of him to explode and as a result Phobos instinctively flew away. When he was certain the man was gone Naruto reverted back to his natural state. Thankful that he had the element of surprise and a sneak attack. There was no telling how strong that man, considering the blond wouldn't have as much as an advantage next time now that the man was aware he existed; though there was the fact his shinobi abilities that were virtually unknown.

"You okay?" Naruto asked Elyon who nodded. She flew to the shore to asses her wounds. Naruto glided over the water and joined her. "If you want I can help heal your wounds." he said wincing at the burnt flesh of her torso and right arm. Naruto got a closer look and noticed the girl was pretty cute. It was something about her hair color reminded him of the sand which reminded him of Temari. "But to regenerate the flesh it'll be pretty painful. It won't take long though."

The girl looked unsure, nervous, but Naruto didn't blame her.

"How brief are we talking?" she asked him after considering dealing with an injury the normal painful way or having it healed instantly.

"Ten...fifteen seconds. You'll probably want to blast me when it's over,'' he joked as a small smile appeared on Elyon's face.

"I'd don't think I'd do that.'' she said with a chuckle then winched. Weighing her options, she didn't have the luxury of her injuries healing naturally now that Phobos was back and even stronger than before. "Ok...heal me, please."

"Right...I'm Naruto by the way. So you know whose name to curse." he said placing one hand on her arm and the other on her side.

Elyon couldn't help but blush at the casual touch. Ever since she was revealed to be Meridian's Light, it's Heart so to speak everyone in her kingdom placed her on the pedestal. Even if her adopted parents were as loving as ever there was definitely a noticeable change in demeanor in how they spoke with her. Not to mention she was consumed with running a kingdom. It made things rather lonely, especially since that meant she never got to hang out with her best friend Cornelia anymore. Looking up again she noticed the faraway look in...what was his name? 'Nar-ra-toe?' She noticed his blue eyes seemed so...serene. Tall, blond hair, and blue eyes. Elyon shook away the thoughts. The thoughts that he fit the description of her ideal partner along with another blond. She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice his eyes go crimson, but she sure as hell noticed the pain.

''SUNAVABITCH!''

Now many of people would be surprised if not shocked to hear Elyon swear, even before she became Meridian's ruler. She was a very kind girl who often lend an ear to anyone she thought she could trust. Maybe not as free-spirited or bubbly as Hay Lin, but she was known to be a cloudcuckoolander on occasion or so. A sweet and kind young lady who wouldn't use such language. At the moment she realized that Naruto wasn't kidding about the pain and seriously considering blasting the blond.

"Aah..augg." she managed out as Naruto finished. Her loud screams had left her nearly breathless. Though before either could respond the whiskered blond dodged a blast of electricity.

"What the hell, Will?" he cried out as he dodged some flames shot at him by Taranee.

Reaching into his pouch he threw down a couple of smoke bombs, using the cover to slip away before the others could attack.

"Hey where did he go?" Taranee asked. She looked around but didn't see him when the when the steam cleared.

Naruto had stumbled upon some ruins a few miles from the lake. Most of it was a few bricks coming up from the ground. He then found some rusted bars.

'Hey Kurama, what do you think this is made out of?"

'Looks like an early form of steel!'

'What do you know of smithing?'

'Quite a bit actually, but you lack the tools to do anything so what good will it do?''

'Then I guess I'll get to searching.'

He looked around some more and found an old bronze gauntlet, a bunch of those steel bars, a small old fashion hammer, and a lot of wood for a fire. Luckily he had a flint in his pocket because he never went anywhere without one.

He made a fire and stuck a steel bar in it. After about an hour it was ready to be made. He used his hammer to bend and shape it. After about an hour of making it he could tell that it wasn't going to be a good one. It was in the basic shape of a Kunai but it was bent and deformed to a point that it wouldn't throw straight or hold an edge.

His second one was much better and his third was even better than that. He had mastered it by eight.

"Now you need to sharpen them. I suggest you use the first one you made to practice."

"Good idea." Naruto said picking up the tossed knife. He tried to sharpen it on a hard flat stone he had found. The knife was worse than he thought. The stone didn't even touch the blade from all of the extra metal on the knife. But it helped him get the basic movements down. He started to sharpen the other seven. When he was his finished he noticed it was getting dark. He put six of them in his pockets and one tied to his arm.

He then laid up against one of the walls and drifted off to sleep.

Will and the gang had spent the entire time looking for Naruto. After being chewed out by the Meridian Queen for chasing away her handsome savior, which she quickly amended with, nice young guy who saved her the Guardians searched the area around the lake and found no search of him.

Even with her telepathic abilities Taranee seemed unable to pick up so much as a fleeting thought from the blond.

"You find him?" Will asked Irma who used her affinity for the water to scan the entire lake.

"No not yet." Irma answered

Will yawned and looked back at the other girl. "First Naruto saved my life and now Elyon's as well. At this point I'm ready to cross him off as a suspect of being aligned with Kuro.''

"I guess Caleb was wrong."

"I am not wrong!" said a familiar voice. Caleb was under them looking up.

"All I'm saying is that you might be wrong." Will said flying down to him.

"Let's just find him." Caleb said and walked into the forest.

"He won't admit he is wrong until Naruto saves his life or something." Cornelia said.

"Or yours." Added Will.
