Naruto was still laying on the Hokage monument looking at the night sky when Kitsu landed on the ground next to Naruto and said "Kit, I think we got a problem."
Naruto frowned and said "What kind of problem."
Kitsu said "I smelled someone earlier when I was playing with Shikamaru...It's Gabriel."
Naruto blinked and sat up onto his elbows and said "As is Gabriel, Gabriel. Bitch's daughter Gabriel."
Kitsu nods and Naruto frowned and said "What the fuck she's doing here. No one has died in the village today or tonight. Especially the noble ones."
Kitsu said "I don't know...think she came here to give orders to the little angel."
Naruto bit his lip and said "Maybe...I need to go bust her ass some more so I'll go check on her and see what's up there. You head around the village and see if you can't track her scent and see where she is since I don't know her scent. Besides a noble soul dying which hasn't happened and me I can't think of any reason she would be here. Sticking by the girl will make it easier for her to track me if she came looking for me so we can find out what the hell she wants."
Kitsu said "Right." as she jumped away.
Naruto stood up and dusted his pants off before heading toward the apartments.
When Naruto got there he walked up to room 316 and was about to knock when the sound of a crash was heard and a muffled scream of pain was heard through the door and Naruto frowned before his eyes turned black and he turned toward the door and saw a female figure staning in the middle of the room with another smaller figure slumped against the wall and the taller one who was standing was drawing back her fist.
Naruto frowned and disappeared from view.
Inside the apartment Ai was slumped against the wall with a busted lip, busted nose, as well as bruising around her cheek and eye and she saw a punch coming from a woman with long brown hair in a white dress but right before the punch hit a hand appeared around the wrist of the womans hand shocking both Ai and the woman who both turned and the woman saw a person with blond hair dressed in black looking out the window away from the woman.
Ai also saw the person and thought "Naruto."
The woman said "Who are you and how dare you interfere in my business."
Naruto said "Such an unrefined and undisiplined woman to ignore proper decorum and demand a name without giving yours first." still not looking at the woman or Ai.
The woman said "Release me heathen or I'll smite you."
A snort was her answer and Naruto turned his head around and his eyes were black and he said "Heathen...smite...You must be Gabriel. Correct."
Gabriel said "You must be the boy Kami has been speaking about if you know who I am. Now release me because you know you are far weaker then me."
Naruto smirked and he squeezed harder on Gabriels wrist and a snap sound was heard causing Gabriel to cry out as Naruto jerked his arm up causing Gabriel to lift off the ground before Naruto let go and delivered a standing side kick right into Gabriels stomach sending her flying back into the wall behind her several feet away.
Naruto said "You know, I know now why your in heaven. It's because your so stupid because your head is full of hot air. The fact I caught you off guard when I grab your wrist should have alerted you that something was wrong."
Gabriel held her broke wrist against her stomach and she said "How dare y..."
She was silenced as Naruto disappeared and the next moment she found herself slammed against the wall with Naruto holding her by her neck with one hand choking her.
Gabriel gasped for breath as her face began to change color and Naruto said "It's not so fun being on the recieving end of a beat down, is it Gabriel. Now why don't you tell me what the fuck you are doing here before I decided to end your life and in case you haven't realised it yet, your not in mortal form right now. Your in spirit form and I am still able to hurt you. If I decide to kill you, game over, you die. Now why are you here BITCH." as he squeezed harder.
A weak voice behind Naruto said "Please stop...she's...my mother."
Naruto who heard Ai voice went wide eyed a moment and he turned to look at Ai who had her head bowed and he then looked back at Gabriel and he asked "Is this true." as he let go slightly of Gabriels neck.
Gabriel who was gasping for breath said "That weakling is nothing but a disgrace I was forced to give birth to. She is no daughter of mine. Kami order me to have her to be a reward for you as part of her grand plan. I only have one child and that is Michael."
Naruto frowned as he glanced at Ai who was looking down and then back at Gabriel and Naruto sent chakra into his hand around Gabriels neck who began to gurgle because she couldn't scream and Naruto said "What you are feeling bitch is fire chakra which is burning your voice box. Since you want to act like a bitch, now you will speak like a bitch for the rest of your days. Now go before I decide to kill you." as he threw Gabriels body through the window behind him.
As Gabriel lands on the street below Kitsu was sitting nearby and threw a banana peel on Gabriels head and said "I would take the kits advice before he kills you. Shinigami trained him to be her equal and in most ways he is...in soul attacks he's surpassed her."
Gabriel said "This isn't over."
Kitsu looked to her right and said "For now it is."
Gabriel followed Kitsu eyes and went wide eyes before she disappeared.
The figure Kitsu and Gabriel saw mouthed the words "Thank you." to Kitsu before being pulled into the ground by a skeleton hand.
Kitsu got up and walked into the building and walked into apartment 319 and saw Ai sitting in a chair and Naruto walked in out of the kitchen with an ice pack and said "So...are you going to tell us what that was about. You owe me your life."
Ai who had looked down holding the ice pack was silent for a few moment when she said in a dead tone "You have probably asked if Kami had such grand plans for you then why wasn't she there to make sure everything went according to plan...the reason is she knew the life you would live and knew being a Jinchuuriki that you would automatically get a free pass to heaven. She decided before you were born that you would have in death the one thing you most likely never would have in life...Love...To do this she ordered her daughter Gabriel to have a female child...me. When Kami recieved words that your parents had arrived in heaven she had my mother begin having me...I...I was suppose to be linked to you so that when you slept I could be in your dreams...at first as a friend when no one else would have been and then later after you died, your wife...but when mother came to the mortal world to bind my spirit to yours she couldn't find you. Kami began to search for you and left me with mother...mother hated me because she didn't want me and as time passed on and the longer time went the more her hatred of me and the reminder of the pain she had to go through to have me and all she sacrificed to do so made her even more angry at me."
Naruto frowned and said "So her beating on you is common."
Ai said "Usually she acts like I don't even exist."
Kitsu asked "Then why did she come and attack you tonight."
Ai bit her lip and Naruto said "ANSWER."
Ai flinched and said "I over heard mother when she came back from meeting Kami. Mother was telling Michael, my brother to do something about you but when I heard your name I had to come find you...I spent my whole life thinking about you and thinking if I could meet you then I could become your friend and later your wife so that way the reason I was born would be fulfilled and mother wouldn't hate me anymore." as she broke into tears and said "But she doesn't care...she told me I wasn't going to get happiness when she lost her own...she told me that she didn't care what Kami planned anymore and that she was going to send me to limbo so she wouldn't have to see my face again since I gave up my immortality to come here and be with you."
Naruto frowned and said "So your not here to keep my mother away from me."
Ai wiped tears from her face and said "No, why would I do that after I saw how angry and sad you were over that. If I could I would let you see her whenever you wanted to...Is that why you don't like me. Because you thought that I was sent here to keep you from your mother."
Naruto sighed and leaned against the wall and said "Kami told Yami she was sending one of her angels to make sure mom didn't show up and take me back to hell before I died. Since you were the only angel we detected then I assumed it was you."
Ai looked down and said "You had the right to...your the victim. You've had everything taken from you."
Naruto who had crossed his arms shook his head and said "No, I'm a vengeful son of a bitch. I'm also one of the most respected people in hell because I changed it. When I was growing up I saw as those who were there were tied to chains that were connected to poles that would lower them into fields of fire and burn them before they would be raised back up to heal and then once they healed some they would be sent back down into the fires...I remember what it was like to be burned alive and I screamed and beg grandma to change thier punishment. At first she refused but then she made me a deal. She had me listen as a prisoner was brought in and his sins were told. She then had me decide his punishment. He was a rapist. I thought about his crimes and decided the best punishment was to make him feel what his victims felt so I had some of the goblins take him to a room and use tools to do to him what he done to his victims. Every thing he ever did to a victim was done to him in a day. Then he would be left alone in a dark room until the next day when it was repeated again and then again and again. Those hours that he spent in the dark made him live the life that his victims had, always looking around in fear, always waiting for the torture to begin...Grandma Yami saw this and thought the punishment fit the crime and so she slowly had those who were already there for the same crimes taken to the room one by one and as the tower of torture as it came to be called was built the prisoners would be randomly chosen to experience all the tortures, not just the rapist but also those who took pleasure out of hurting others physically. They would then be put in a cell alone with no light, always fearing that someone would come and get them to torture them again and again."
Ai asked "But why are you respected for that."
Kitsu said "Because not everyone in hell is evil. There are races living in hell that once lived in the mortal realm who are not evil but humans thought they were evil because they weren't human. Kitsunes like me are among those races. Goblins, trolls, ogres, dragons, and others who live there and serve Yami in exchange for living there. They saw the changes that Naruto made and they respected him because hell isn't all fire and brimstone anymore. True there are some places but for those of us who live there who aren't prisoners life has changed for the better. The pit of Emo, the tower of torture, the pit of endurance, the house of lies. All.."
Ai asked "The house of lies...what's that." interupting her.
Naruto chuckled and said "I got the idea from a couble of hobbits who were boasting about something at a bar. What happens is the prisoners go up on stage with a colar that forces them to tell lies and they have to tell lies about one of the lies they are in hell for and the audiance has to try and guess what the real lie the guy on stage is lying about. They aren't allowed to leave the stage or quit talking until either someone guess the real lie or they lose thier voice and they are not allowed to drink any water the whole time they are talking. There's an old saying, don't let your mouth write a check your ass can't cash. The house of lies is where those who did that while here are punished for it and have to pay thier debt."
Ai asked "And the pit of Emo."
Kitsu said "Oh, I love that place. The pit of Emo is where those who pity themselves, usually those who wind up killing themselves are sent. They are all put in the pit where they try to get other Emo to try and feel guilty for them after having thier hair died black and thier nails painted purple. There is no real reason to torture them because they torture themselves."
Naruto said "But something you learn is those who are sent to hell are not usually sent to hell for one sin. One sin leads to another which leads to another. Take this one guy that was being punished when Kami showed up. He was there for murder and rape but he didn't start killing and raping until he spent years of self torture and attempted suicides believing he had nothing to live for but kept being saved by those who cared for him. Later in life he still felt he had nothing to live for so he decided he might as well have some pleasure and raped a woman and after he did he realised he did have something to live for and had to kill her to keep from going to jail and after he did that he punished himself again thinking he had nothing to live for again because when people found out about his crimes he would lose what he had so he raped and murdered again and the cycle repeated over and over again until his death. Yami sent him to the pit of emo to have his hair and nails done. Then he is going to feel guilty for himself. The next day since he used power to capture the women and hurt them he is taken to the pit of endurance where him and all the other prisoners who were sent there for using power to hurt others and be beat on by each other trying to win the prize of an all you can eat meal, an hour in a hotspring and a night in a hotel bed. After the guy lost in the pit of endurance he was taken to the tower of terror and tortured like he did to the women and locked up in a cell until he recovers and then put back in the pit of emo where nobody will pity him because they are to busy pitying themselves before he gets sent back to the pit of endurance and then back to the tower of terror again. He will eventually realise the only chance he has to break the cycle is to win at the pit of endurance but since he goes so long between times he's there then he won't ever actually get stronger even though he will try to train himself while in the darkness but once he loses again in the pit of endurance and taken to the tower of terror in his weakened state and can't fight back he pity himself even more for being so weak."
Ai was wide eyed and said "And you came up with this."
Naruto nods and Ai said "Wow...That...that's actually pretty brilliant."
Naruto said "Yeah...it was my plan to do something like that to you also. I mean when I thought that you were the one sent here to keep my mom away I was going to make your life hell until you either broke down and let me have my mom in my life or gave up and left where I could have mom again."
Kitsu said "There is a method to his madness."
Ai frowned and said "So what now...are you still going to keep hating me."
Naruto sighed and said "No...I have no reason to hate you now...well I do because your Kami granddaughter who only wanted me in her life to use me and I am tempted to turn around and use you and leave you just to smite you. Hehe, Angels need a bigger vocabulary. Heathen, smite, hehe."
Ai looked down and said "Are you...are you going to use me and leave me."
Naruto looked at her and said "No. I maybe a cold sadistic vengeful son of a bitch, but I care to much for myself and fear to much what my mother and grandmother would do to me if I ever did that to a woman. They don't care if I fuck as long as it's with consent of both parties. I only fuck those I care about. I may feel guilty for what I did to you when you were innocent and since I saw you had no food, money, cloths, or furniture I'll even let you stay here as long as you don't cause me a reason to hate you as well as you tell me about your brother Michael."
Ai asked "Why do you want to know about Michael."
Naruto said "Your mom talked about me to him cause she wanted me to do something. Kami told her about me. Gabriel sending Michael here to keep my mom away to make Kami happy. She will also probably use him to try and get revenge on you and me for what I did back there."
Ai looked down and Naruto put his hand under her chin and raised her head and said "Never say your sorry, never look down. Both are a sign of weakness that others will use against you."
Ai opened her mouth and Naruto covered it and said "What did I just tell you."
Ai bit her lip and nods and Naruto said "Well, it's late and your tired from what happened and need to think straight to answer my question, you can tell me about Michael later. I'm going to get some sleep. You can have the couch." As he turned and left.
Kitsu walked in front of Ai and said "Angel, listen and listen well. The kit maybe acting nice but he doesn't like you. He needs you to learn about his enemy. You are going to be useful to him or I'll make you useful in another way. He may not do anything to you but I'll sell your ass for money as a slave if you don't pull your weight. Do I make myself clear."
Ai nods scared of the look in Kitsu eyes and Kitsu said "Good, night." as she turned and closed the 2nd bedroom door leaving a scared and shaken Ai behind.
