"Why didn't you kill it?" Conis asked as Naruto came back from beating Ruby

"She was too young and I don't think she was bad." Naruto answered as best he could even he didn't know what he was experiencing

"Do you want me to kill her?"

"No, I was just curious." Conis shook her head, even If she didn't like humans it didn't mean that she was okay with murdering innocent children and Ruby was only a bit older than her.

'What is actually wrong with him?'

'He can tell the gender now but still saw her as a Grimm. Is it because she is close to my age? So he sees them as more Grimm like the older they are.' Conis concluded as she thought of what she had witnessed following Naruto

'He is truly powerful but how strong, I can't judge but it seems many lives might hinge on my decision.' Conis thought with a happy smile, it represented the dark joy she felt from being in control

"What made you smile, Conis?" Naruto asked as he saw the silent girl have full blown smile on her face

"Nothing, I just thought how cool you looked."

"Weird girl lets go. More might come" Naruto said as he picked her up and started running while tied the scythe on his side with the dark tendrils from his body

'But I am your weird girl' Conis thought

'Now where to go' Naruto mused as he looked up at the night sky and cursed the fact that he was not good at tracking

'I will just rely on luck; it seems to be good as I met a good little beast.' He smiled and ran in a different direction, avoiding trees and other obstacles

The path took him to a port town which seems to have been destroyed and he couldn't see any living thing in it as he walked.

"Well it seems to be good place to rest in." Naruto said positively as he entered one of the abandoned houses while Conis realized where they had arrived.

'I hope that monster doesn't come out.' She wished from the bottom her heart as she wasn't sure it would listen to Naruto

The night passed by peacefully with no attacks and Conis slept with Naruto who obliged without a question, to him she was just a child.

'What a cute kid?' He thought as he looked at her sleeping face

'I wonder where they are. I want to see them. Conis is nice and all but I wish to reunite with them.' Naruto thought as he stood up and gently lay down Conis

He walked out of the building and went to the pier to check the water as he felt a strong presence.

'Things really got weird since I have woken up. Why do I feel a connection to the animals? I am not even using sage mode.' Naruto was utterly confused as he couldn't see the connection between him and the beasts as to him they were normal creatures. On the other to everyone else it would be easy to point out the connection to him but would he believe it is another thing.

He sat down and stared into the water but the beast of the deep did not respond, it continued to slumber and allowed him access to its domain.

'Well the big doesn't seem to want to talk.' Naruto concluded as he stood up and looked around when he was alerted to a presence from a building collapsing.

'What happened?' Naruto wondered as he ran back towards the direction from where he heard the noise.

There down below on the ground he saw a beast with red eyes and a white cape, it was holding a large blade it its hand.

'This monster looks really strong and what is that strange aura?' Naruto questioned as he could see that the fragile buildings collapsed as the monster passed them by.

As the monster came closer to the building he was sitting on, the ground under him collapsed prompting Naruto to jump and suddenly he almost got hit by shotgun rounds.

"It seems you won't leave me in peace so please die." Naruto said as he was armed with his gauntlets and the tendrils were ready for action. He jumped towards the beast attacking with his gauntlet and followed it with his tendrils piercing the monster but unexpectedly he the ground collapsed causing him to slipup giving the monster the chance to escape while it shot more rounds at him.

This time he was hit in the chest which stung him a little and annoyed him, 'Damn, what is happening?'

Naruto decided to test out the waters from afar as close combat seemed to have become risky, he shot countless dark shots at the monster with the great sword that waved through them easily and approached him with the intent to cut him in two.

Naruto felt the danger and dodged the attack as the aura seemed to have become stronger and he realized, 'It's the aura, its causing these phenomenon but what can I do? Damn, all I can do is use an attack that is strong and impossible to dodge.'

Naruto thought as he looked at the destruction the attack caused and remembered Conis, "Shit." Naruto cursed as he ran towards the place while the beast seems to be in pursuit, he quickly found her outside and picked her up in haste.

Naruto didn't stop and ran while throwing the charged blast behind him which missed the foe but gave him the chance to slip.

"We will fight again Monster" Naruto shouted though it was pointless in his mind, he just wanted to say something. For now he planned to find a safe place for Conis in this dangerous place as it seemed there were no adults and everywhere monsters seemed to pop up.

'It's too troublesome to fight with a liability on the side, especially now.'

"Sorry for being a burden" Conis said with sad tone as she knew Naruto wouldn't have to be so careful if she wasn't with him

"No problem, you are not a burden as you provide me company or else I will be too lonely." Naruto said with a smile as his negative thoughts left, he didn't want them affecting the poor girl

'Show positive attitude and the world will shine.'

"Sigh"

"That thing was more troublesome than I was informed" Qrow Branwen muttered as he lost the trace of the new Grimm that had broken his niece's body.

He quickly rained in his semblance as his aura reserves were being wasted and checked his body for any damage. He could feel some fractures from the clash as the tendrils had not missed him completely, "Luckily they only hit the bones and slightly or else it could have been worse." Qrow muttered calmly but suddenly he felt intense pain and collapsed to the ground

"AH"

"Ah" Qrow tried to stop himself from screaming the pain was too much and he almost bit his tongue from the pain. He realized that his other arm was gone and saw that he had been bleeding for some time.

'What happened?'

'How did I not react to my fucking arm falling off?'

Qrow was confused but he quickly shut down the bleeding and dragged himself to where he might find his arm.

'I need to warn others, this thing is beyond dangerous.'

'It just played around with me and escaped with the Faunas. I shudder at the thought of it actually using those things on me.' Qrow knew the pain was not just his arm being cut off but the tendrils themselves had such ability

'A proper ability for the Demon.' Qrow thought on the name that had been decided for this specie

Few hours of running and resting under the sun, as Naruto was enjoying the shade he heard someone speak towards him which surprised him as the only person he could speak to was Conis.

"The Mistress calls for your presence"

Naruto looked at the woman who appeared out of nowhere and said this strange sentence.

"What?"
