Hello everyone I am back into working on this story and I have few things to say and here they. So if you noticed I (temporary) changed the name of this story cus when I told my friend about the original name he said and I quote "It's sounds edgy". Now I am trying to make sure it doesn't sound edgy (or at least too edgy) so yeah but anyways I have a poll up for those that liked the original name or the current one and I want you (if you want to) to vote if I should bring back the other name or keep the current one but enough of my rant it's time to write a story so let's begin.

WARNING: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR DEVIL MAY CRY

Chapter 4: A Past Explained

Last time

"Who are you" "Oh me well I was the guy who saved your ass twice now" then it hit Naruto "Your the same person who saved me when I got kicked out of the orphanage" "DING DING DING we have a winner but don't look so glum about that for I to was kicked out of that very same orphanage or rather I decided to leave and never come back" replied the kid "What's your name" asked Naruto then the kid said "Oh yeah I didn't tell you my name yet huh? Well my name is..."

flashback start

"...Nero Redgrave and Naruto Uzumaki are new to this orphanage so please show them some kindness" said one of the overseers but when she said kindness it was full of venom and malice. Soon after the two boys were introduced they talked to the other children while the overseers talktalk among themselves so the children don't here them but you could here along the lines of "Why did we even let those demons stay here?" "The Hokage told us to house them till they are either adopted or they move out but while those demons are here let's make his stay here fun" answered an overseer as a malicious smile spread across all of the overseers face as one of them said the word "fun"

six months later April 10th

Here we see Nero playing with some of the only friends he had since for whatever reason he and that Naruto kid either gets picked on, beat up, or abused by the overseers but one day his friends told him to meet up with them later in his room during lunch so he waited till it was lunch as he headed off towards his room only to find that none of the lights were on and the blinds on his window were shut so he couldn't see a thing in there but when he went to turn on the lights he was hit on the back of the head causing him to stumble forward causing the four year old to fall on the ground as he saw his "friends" begin to tie him up to his bed post and saw who hit his head as it looked to be a mere genin who was holding a baseball bat as he started to chuckle a little bit as he began to talk "You children did well bringing me one of those demons" said the genin handing the children some "Now buy yourselves something nice and remember no telling" but before the other children could leave they heard Nero yell at them "You bastards I trusted you, I thought we were friends!" then Nero heard one of those traitors say "Why we be friends with a demon" as they left the room leaving Nero alone with the genin as he started beating Nero with the bat giving him a concussion or two but before the genin could continue his beating, the ropes holding Nero down broke as they suddenly caught fire.

The genin looked at Nero with eyes full of fear as a reddish-orange like aura seemed to be resonating from him as he saw his eyes turn crimson. The genin tried to run away but fell and started crawling backwards while dropping his bat as his back came into contact with the wall behind him. Then he saw Nero holding the bat as Nero starts beating the genin with said bat and when he took a swing to his head the bat broke along with some of the genin's bones as they both fell unconscious.

Nero woke up but found himself in a sewer like place while wondering if he was dreaming or not so he decided to pinch himself "YOW! Okay I'm not dreaming but where the hell am I" then he saw a gate with a paper that said seal on it but the one thing that stood out from the rest of the gate was a yin yang symbol above it but it showed the yang part was cracked while the yin half was glowing that when he saw it two big eyes staring at him one of the eyes were empty with no pupil nor an iris while the other had a red eye. Nero jumped at the sight of them as he saw the creature coming closer to the cage then he saw it was what looked to be a fox with what looked to be four tails but one of them were half as long as the others.

"Who are you?" asked the fox "M-My n-name is N-Nero Redgrave" replied Nero as the fox eyed him carefully "So you are my container by the way your last name isnt Redgrave its Uzumaki and as for me I am the Kyūbi no Kitsune" said the kyūbi as Nero looked at the creature with a look that says your lying "You can't be the kyūbi for two reasons one: the kyūbi has nine tails not three and a half and two: If you really are the kyūbi then shouldn't you be dead" said Nero 'oh so we got a smart ass here' thought the kyūbi as it began to talk "Well you try having your entire being split in half while the other is sealed within your brother" the kyūbi saw that Nero had a shocked look on his face with this new found information but what struck him more was the fact that he had a brother "I...I have a brother?" asked Nero asked and got a reply from the Kyūbi "Yes, you do have a brother." soon Nero asked another question that pretty much made him hell bent on protecting his only living family member "What is his name?" "His name is Naruto Uzumaki" replied the kyūbi "I have one more question for you kyūbi" stated Nero "What is it?" asked the kyūbi and saw a somber look on Nero's face as he held his necklace "Do you know who our parents are or were?" asked Nero as he wanted to know that if they even loved him or his brother.

The Kyūbi sighed knowing this question was gonna be brought up sooner or later "Your mother was Kushina Uzumaki and your father was Minato Namikaze and before you ask yes they did love you two" answered the kyūbi who saw a somewhat sad but enraged look on Nero's face since even he knew of how the villagers treated Minato's dying wish by spitting on it but he had a look of relief on his face after hearing that they loved him and his brother. Then kyūbi had an idea to make up for what it did to Nero and his brother "Nero," getting Nero's attention the kyūbi continued "There are some things I will give you that were things that your mother owned and I will train you how to use them" said the kyūbi as two swords seem to come up from the ground. one of the swords was a double edged broad sword while the other was a katana. "We'll start your training tonight also don't worry about going to be early since we'll be training in your mind but first I want you to promise me something on behalf of your mother before she died" "Sure, what is this promise that you want me to do" asked Nero "I want you to look after your brother and protect him like your life depended on it" answered the kyūbi "I promise" said Nero as the the world starts to fade and then everything went black

Exit Nero's mindscape and enter the real world

Nero woke up and saw that the genin is still unconscious so Nero decided to leave the area before said genin wakes up even though there was probably nothing the genin could do since he had some broken ribs, a broken arm, and a broken leg. Once Nero left he headed towards the cafeteria so he could watch over his brother and as soon as he entered he smelled something off in the air. The air smelled sweet but it was also bitter and he wondered why the place smelled of it. Then he heard a voice in his head say "There must be poison in some of the food..." This voice freaked Nero out 'great I'm hearing voices in my head I must be going crazy and wait did it say poison?' it was then Nero realized what was going on so he tried to find Naruto as soon as possible. He was able to find him just to see that he was going to take a bite of what looks to be a muffin but Nero smelled that the smell of the poison was coming from Naruto's food as he saw some of the overseers and other kids getting a malicious smile on their faces. Nero ran towards Naruto and smacked away his food "Hey what the hell is wrong with you!" yelled Naruto as Nero walked up to him and whispered in his ear "you'll thank me later" as Nero walked away as Naruto was staring at Nero in shock so he left as well but it was more to head to ichiraku's to get some ramen for lunch and so tomorrow will be another day

later that day

Night has fallen and everyone was asleep in their proper rooms and soon Nero joined them in dreamland only instead of a dreamland he was in his mindscape talking to a fox.

"So let me get this straight" started Nero "You can talk to me through my mind and all I have to do is think and I reply to you?" "That's pretty much the gist of it, now anymore questions?" said the kyūbi only to get an almost anxious reply from Nero "yeah, what was our mother like since she was your last container as a whole so you might know more about her than you do know about our father?" the kyūbi stared at Nero and was deep in thought for if it should tell Nero about his devil heritage or not since most of the children and people in general already call him a demon. Then the kyūbi came to a conclusion and it was to tell him about his heritage "Have you ever heard of the tale of The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda?" asked the kyūbi "I don't know what this has to do with my mother but no I haven't heard of it" answered Nero "Well sit back for I have a tale to end all tales to you *AHEM* Two milleniums ago there was a war, between the human world and the other, the under world, but somebody from the underworld woke up to justice, and stood up against this legion, alone. Her name was Sparda. Later she quietly reigned the human world, and continued to preserve harmony until her death, She became a legend. The Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda." Nero was in awe of powerful just one devil was against an entire army of them but when he shook that awe he asked the kyūbi a similar question to the last one "That was an awesome story and all but what does this have to do with our mother?" the kyūbi soon answered that question by saying "Because The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda was your mother" Nero looked at the Kyūbi with disbelief as he thought of how badass his mother was but a thought reeled him out of those thoughts "So...my brother and I really are demons" he said and got depressed but the kyūbi shook him from that by responding with a "Well technically you and your brother are not demons but rather devils, well half devils when you think about it but the point is that your both not demons" Nero looked at the Kyūbi for a second before smiling and said "thank you" towards the Kyūbi.

after a few more minutes of talking about his family the Kyubi asked Nero if he wanted to start his training now. "Yes," said Nero "If I'm gonna protect my brother I'm gonna need to be prepared" the Kyūbi had a Cheshire cat (or fox however you think of it) like smsmile on its face as the room shifted as the sky looked red and they were standing in water with spikes (dont know if they are stalagmites or stalagtites) coming from the water in some areas then he gulped when he heard the Kyūbi laugh and say "Welcome to Hell" in a rather demonic tone as both swords from earlier rise from the water. Grabbing both swords he rushed at the Kyūbi.

Six more months later October 10Here we see a five year old Nero (yes he and Naruto are five here because fuck logic since this is a fanfiction on an anime/manga anything goes) in his room tinkering with what seems to be two weapons made of metal but they were in an "L" shape and had two swords and a blue leather jacket next to his bed, one of the swords was a katana while the other was a broad double edged sword. Nero saw it was almost time for lights out so he left his room and went to the cafeteria for a somewhat decent dinner but it was there that he noticed that a familiar presence was not here, then he heard the overseers and children talk among themselves, unaware of Nero's presence and he overheard them say that they were glad one of the demons were gone. It was then Nero had a wide eyed look on his face as he rushed to his room grabbing his coat, swords, and the mysterious weapons and jumped out of his window and ran to where he felt a pull.

he soon arrived to where he felt the pull in what people call a blue blur as he stood between Naruto and a few genin and chunin. He had both swords drawn and he heard Naruto ask "Who are you" Nero only responded with a "Let's just say I'm the guy trying to save your ass" he then looked at Naruto "But don't worry we'll meet again but for now you need to get out of here" After saying that Naruto booked it.

"So..." Nero started as he glared at the shinobi "Who wants to die first?" a few of the shinobi ran away while the others stayed but most of those that stayed were petrified with fear cus when they saw Nero it looked like there was a silhouette of a giant fox and they saw the genin and chunin that weren't frozen with run at Nero but got cut down before they could even get close to him then for the ones that were still frozen he sheathed his katana and pulled out one of the "L" shaped weapons which was white with the word "Ivory" engraved in it. Then he pulled what looked like a trigger as condensed chakra shot out of it as Nero shot at each of the frozen shinobi's kneecaps causing ththem to writhe and scream in agony but he notice one of the shinobi snuck behind him and was going to where Naruto went. Then Nero put his broad sword through a strap on his back as he pulled out another "L" shaped weapon but it was black with the word "Ebony" engraved in it as he shot the bastard in the head killing him. Soon Nero fled the scene and was lying on a roof top looking at the stars in the night sky and thought 'Stay safe Naruto, for may we meet again' then Nero fell asleep

two years later, October 10thHere we see Nero jumping from rooftop to rooftop following the same pull he felt whenever he thought of his brother soon he was on a roof and was looking down on an alleyway that led nowhere as he saw a group of people about to attack a boy they had cornered and saw one about to stab the boy with a kunai as the man yelled "DIE DEMON" and soon in a matter of milliseconds he unsheathed his katana and sliced off the man's hand that was holding the kunai as he returned to roof as the guy started freaking out and then Nero spoke "Hey didn't your mother teach you not to run with sharp objects" they all looked at Nero's direction as they saw him holding the hand that held the kunai. Then Nero said "But since I'm a nice guy I'll give you back your toy" with a sinister smile that could make Orochimaru or even Madara shake in fear as he threw the kunai dead center of the villager's forehead killing him "If anyone else wants to die come attack me or piss off" he said as he jumped down from the building and landed in front of Naruto soon the villagers fled but some got cut down cus they thought that since he is a kid that he would bbe weak. first rule to being a ninja is deception then he turned to Naruto and soon asked if he was okay, Naruto nods his head hesitantly and asked "Who are you?" "Oh me well I was the guy who saved your ass twice now" then it hit Naruto "Your the same person who saved me when I got kicked out of the orphanage" "DING DING DING we have a winner but don't look so glum about that for I was kicked out that same orphanage or rather I decided to leave and never come back" replied Nero "What's your name" asked Naruto then Nero said "Oh yeah I didn't tell you my name yet huh well my name is Nero Uzumaki and I am you brother".
