Sup everyone, this is the sixth chapter of the story which is progressing quite well, in my opinion anyway. We've reached the second episode of Hellsing Ultimate, but we've still got a long way to go. If anyone happens to be wondering how long the story is going to be, I estimate there to be no less than thirty chapters by the time that it is finished, but no more than fourty. I might be wrong.

Also I wanted to answer some questions/statements made about/concerning the story.

So yeah to a few people who thought Naruto was weak such as Kaneblair and amadan, that was actually my intention. Naruto is going to learn more and get heaps stronger as the story goes on. By emphasising on Naruto's flaws, I intend for Naruto's improvements to become more obvious in the future. I am actually aiming for a Naruto who has skill in Wind style jutsu. The idea was one I immediately liked when I read Drifting several months ago. When going over this I would often picture people in Konoha saying that Naruto's mastery of Wind style jutsu surpasses the Second Hokage's mastery of Water style jutsu.

Hi Ejammer, I realised what you said and was actually considering adjusting it, but I realised that Naruto would have probably wouldn't have thought of this. Just because this is a fanfiction doesn't mean Naruto is not going to make mistakes. I decided to keep the headband like that because it would be more in character with Naruto.

Well yeah Hellsing fan 1 I based the uniform I chose for Naruto off of Seras' new vampire uniform. I just loved the colour.

Thanks Killjoy3000, I'm glad that you liked the last chapter so much.

So Guest who made the Kurama hybrid comment, I did consider doing that at the very beginning of the story. As of now however, I'm not sure if I am still going to do it sometime later in the story, but it's not likely.

Deadbolt Cross thanks for the reviews, but would you please tone it down a little? And no Naruto didn't realise that Rip Van Winkle was a vampire.

I don't own Naruto or Hellsing for the sixth time since uploading this story. Wonder how many more times I'm gonna have to say it. Disclaimers are annoying. If I did own it then I would have changed a lot in Naruto.

Alright let the story begin. Leave a review if you have the time.

In his lair located beneath the manor in the dark depths of the basement, Alucard hummed as he took a drink from his glass, the concoction being a lovely combination of fresh blood and red wine. The red clad vampire sitting in his chair loved the unique taste of both liquids, much like a potent drug that he sometimes just couldn't get enough of to borrow a human phrase.

A drop of blood fell from the gash on his forehead, a result of gripping his face during that dream. Alucard smirked as it trailed down his nose and past his lips. Adding it to his glass, Alucard sighed lazily.

Alucard had few known hobbies, but many people probably wouldn't consider them hobbies if they were asked. Hunting being one, when his master was feeling lenient and permitted it that is. Teasing people for his own amusement being another, his favourite targets being his master and Seras. Fighting was without a doubt a favourite one; the feeling of crushing bones beneath his teeth and rending flesh with his hands was something that he would never get bored of.

However, his favourite hobby by far was actually puzzles.

Not in the literal sense that is. Alucard indulged himself in the act of solving mysteries when they came across him or when he came across them. He would watch from the shadows; observing the object of his curiosity whilst poking and prodding here and there, interfering on events for his own benefit. Manipulating and twisting them to see which path they chose. All for the sake of his entertainment and amusement.

Naruto and Seras were perfect examples. Both of them so similar to one another yet so different at the same time. Their natures, while close to each other were if looked at from a certain point of view, were not the same at all.

Seras was a vampire that he had himself turned therefore his fledging, meaning the girl was of his bloodline. When she became a true vampire, she would gain powers similar to what he had, but a on a lesser scale with her own special flair. All of it would be so easy, if not for one problem. She refused to drink blood, yet Alucard had seen with his own eyes that Seras was capable of great bloodshed when she lost control. While meek and useless in the eyes of most, she was slowly coming to accept herself for what she was now. Alucard was honestly frustrated with the slow progress she was making, but knew that if he controlled the situation the right way then she would reach her full potential and become what Alucard desired her to.

Naruto on the other hand was something else entirely. He was a jinchuuriki, basically meaning that he had a powerful demon sealed away inside him. A human who possessed the powers of a monster and the potential to become one as well depending on the path he ultimately chose for himself or that Alucard chose for him for that matter. Such a concept was one that Alucard had never rarely come across in his long life and that just left so many excellent possibilities! Naruto behaved and acted and interacted like a human, but Alucard could tell that there was much more to the blonde shinobi then that which had inspired the vampire's curiosity. The mystery behind the boy was complicated, so much in fact that Alucard had found himself having some trouble figuring the boy out. Even having access to all of his memories did little to help Alucard.

That only made the challenge all the more inviting for the vampire.

Seras could wait for another time. Right now, he was interested in Naruto.

Could Naruto be manipulated into becoming what Alucard wanted? If so then what did he want for the boy? Why was his interest in him running so deep?

He would find the answers that he was looking for.

But first, he was going to pay Naruto a visit.

XXXXX

Naruto yawned as he looked at his reflection.

The blonde jinchuuriki finished adding the final parts to his uniform, having just had a nice shower after a three hour training session in the sun outside with Walter. The training had begun with the first lesson that he had had with Alucard and Walter. The boy was tired yet satisfied with the progress that he was making.

Naruto and Walter would work on various forms of stretches, muscle building and practicing with firearms. The sessions were tiring, but Naruto knew the value in the sessions that he was having with Walter. Normally Seras would have come as well, but with the sun still having not completely gone down for the day she would have been burnt. That therefore left just the two of them when it came to training during the midday hours.

Naruto walked outside his room and walked down the corridor, passing various priceless paintings on the way down, all of them painted by artists whose names Naruto didn't even bother trying to learn. The large length and width of the hallway allowed Naruto plenty of space to walk around without having to be mindful of accidently colliding into a wall. The blonde shinobi wondered what the architects back in Konoha would have thought.

He still had trouble comprehending the size of the manor. His cramped apartment back home could have fitted on the floor of the hall he was currently walking down for Kami's sake. The massive size uneased Naruto slightly uncomfortable as all the extra space was something that he just wasn't used to.

This prompted him to spend as much time as possible either outside or in his room. Naruto almost sighed in relief at the sight of the front door.

Today marked the first week of his stay at Hellsing Manor.

Naruto glanced up at the sky, noting the lack of sun. It was still daytime, but things were looking quite stormy at the moment. Most of the sky was blocked off by dark grey clouds and what visible skies were visible were a depressing colour, on the edge of grey itself. The sun was not visible.

The cold air and the light wind hitting Naruto's skin, he walked down the stairs and towards the grounds. He moved for another good minute before coming to a halt. Making sure he had enough room for what he was about to do, the shinobi pricked his thumb with a kunai just enough to draw a few drops of blood, ignoring the tension building up.

Naruto bent his knees and slammed his palm into the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Naruto mentally hoped that the toads responded to his call. He waited for the gigantic cloud of smoke, the croaky voice, the sight of a giant toad dressed in clothes.

Which didn't happen.

Naruto didn't move an inch for several moments. He tried to be patient, perhaps the summoning took longer here?

The time he spent waiting drew out to over half a minute before he frowned in concern.

Why weren't the toads responding?

Naruto tightly squeezed his thumb, producing more blood. He quickly did the summoning again, making sure that he did everything correct.

Nothing happened.

Naruto closed his eyes, gritting his teeth. Anger and disappointment crashing down like a tidal wave, he punched the ground in frustration, ruining the freshly mowed grass.

"Damn it!"

His temper bubbling, Naruto stood up and ran his hands through his hair. After several moments, he managed to calm down enough to think properly. Despite cooling down to some extent, the meaning of this failure was practically screaming in his face.

He was stuck in this world with no way to return home. Naruto could picture it clearly in his head. All of his dreams; bringing Sasuke home, becoming the Hokage and gaining the respect of the villagers were currently threatening to go up in smoke.

Right now he had no idea what to do.

The teenage shinobi collapsed back down on the ground with his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands. All was silent except for the noise of the wind lightly blowing against his clothes along with a few loose leaves.

He wasn't sure how long he was there for. It could have been a few minutes, but it could have been a full hour as well.

Naruto became aware of the presence standing behind him when he heard the sound of grass being trodden on as well. Naruto's eyes widened as a giant shadow loomed over him like a reaper. With a start, Naruto jerked away. Jumping to his feet and pulling out a kunai, he stopped when he saw that it was Alucard of all people, equipped with his signature hat and sunglasses.

Naruto mentally frowned. Despite having had a week's worth of time to think about it, Naruto was still not completely decided in his opinion of the red clad vampire. To be frank, he was creepy and he scared the shit out of him, not unlike Orochimaru back when he was younger. However, Naruto knew deep down that Alucard was an ally despite the dark atmosphere that seemingly produced from him.

But just because he was on Naruto's side didn't mean he liked the vampire.

"If you wish to change your current situation then may I suggest stop sitting around and doing nothing for starters?" Alucard's question was spoken with a neutral tone.

Naruto's eyebrows burrowed and he scoffed as he put his knife away. "Like you would know anything about it."

Alucard merely exposed his fangs as he grinned. Beneath the orange glasses, Naruto noticed the vampire's eyes twist with a variety of emotions.

"Pathetic little boy, I have lived for centuries. Do you really think to presume that you know anything about me? Assuming something about someone whom you know nothing about will only get you killed." The vampire's deep tone wasn't one of anger, but rather one of mocking.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Naruto knew that he was being unfair, but he was annoyed and angry at his failure. At the moment he just wanted to vent his frustrations out on someone. Naruto opened his mouth to come up with a retort, but after several moments he was unable to come up with a comeback and closed his mouth.

XXXXX

Feeling smug, Alucard relished in the frustration that he was causing Naruto. So far he was behaving the way in which Alucard wanted him to. Angry and confused. This was good as it made the boy more susceptible to his words.

Eventually, the boy managed to regain himself enough and began to calm down. Naruto looked at him with cautious eyes. "Do you need anything Alucard?"

Alucard felt amusement build up inside him until a dry chuckle erupted from his throat. Now to take the conversation just a little bit further.

"Why I wish to know about your power of course. Well, to be more specific the source of the power that you hold inside of you."

Any restraint that the boy had on his emotions was effectively gone now. Pointing at Alucard, Naruto, holding no doubt that the vampire somehow knew about the Kyuubi, shouted furiously "how the hell do you know about that?"

Oh? Integra hadn't told Naruto about the viewing of his memories huh? That just made the situation all the more interesting in Alucard's opinion. Looking down at Naruto, the red clad vampire rolled his eyes to deliberately irritate Naruto even more.

"When vampires drink the blood of a human, they not only provide substance for the vampire, but they also absorb the memories of the human. I merely acted under orders from my master to do so to determine whether or not you were a threat to the organisation."

Alucard raised his hand and waved it to the side lazily, his mouth still being stretched by his grin.

"Obviously we have no reason to fear, given what I've seen of you so far."

Naruto bristled at the insult. Alucard found it quite amusing. His entertainment got only better when the shinobi's eyes suddenly widened and his mouth dropped quite comically, staring at him with a mixture of fear and revulsion. Alucard was now struggling to keep himself from bellowing with laugher.

"You actually drank my blood!? What the hell dattebayo? Only freaky guys like the Hebi-teme would do that! You can't just go around drinking my blood whenever you want! Is this the only time you've done it?!"

Having enjoyed the boy's discomfort long enough, Alucard cut off Naruto who was still ranting with a simple wave of his hand.

"Enough boy, be quiet."

Naruto frowned, but he did stop speaking. The shinobi glared at Alucard who remained unaffected by the boy's gaze. Naruto eyes widened when Alucard suddenly strolled forward and grabbed the top of his head, applying enough pressure to subdue Naruto, but just short of doing any permanent damage to his skull. Naruto fell to his knees, hands weakly grabbing at Alucard's arm.

Then Alucard started.

Reaching out with his mind, he pressed his conscious against Naruto's. The boy's mind struggled against the mental intrusion, but in the end Alucard's more powerful will won over and he successfully froze the boy in place.

Making sure to be somewhat carful, Alucard began transferring the memories that he had absorbed off of Naruto back to their original point of origin. Naruto felt pain erupt from within his mind, his eyes slightly watering under the pressure he felt.

Ignoring this, Alucard made sure that he had done everything that he had meant to be. Satisfied, he withdrew and gave back Naruto control of his movements.

XXXXX

Naruto groaned in relief as the pressure on his mind lifted. Feeling Alucard's hand withdraw, he collapsed and threw up. Heaving for several moments, he managed to recover and tried to stand, barely managing to do so. His brain felt vaguely like a sponge that had absorbed too much water. New information and memories were swirling around like a vortex.

What the hell had Alucard done to him?

"When I looked at your memories, I completely unlocked every single one of them so that I could see things that you know longer remembered. By transferring them back to you, you now will be able to recall every single thing that you've ever seen, heard, tasted, felt and smelt since the day you were born. This will prove invaluable to you in the future."

Naruto, will recovering from Alucard invading his mind, stared at the vampire blankly with a mixture of confusion and anger, despite his heavy heaving from having had vomited on the grass.

"What are you?-"

The vampire snorted in distain.

"Walter and I can only train you so far when we don't know how to train you. Only you can improve yourself in other aspects besides close combat. If you wish to survive long enough to find a means to return you need access to a wider variety of techniques that you can draw upon when the situation requires it."

With that said, Alucard turned around and began casually making his way back to the manor, gloved hands in his pockets.

Naruto keep his eyes on Alucard until he was out of sight before he allowed himself to relax. He mulled over what Alucard had just said to him.

Memories?

Once everyone else had sat down Integra Hellsing allowed herself to take a seat at the end of the large round table that took up most of the space in the conference room. While the tradition of a gathering at a round table each meeting may have seemed illogical to most, Integra followed the tradition because it had been her father Arthur who had started the custom. Following in her father's footsteps as much as possible helped to remind her of the responsibilities that she had, Alucard being a great example.

Naruto as well.

Speaking of Naruto, she knew that the others wouldn't likely react kindly if they were to learn of his existence and what he was. They didn't even know that she had a guest. For now, things would stay that way until Naruto had proven himself be a valuable enough assert.

Each member of the Convention was quiet, looking at her expectantly. They were waiting for her to begin. 'Which is quite reasonable considering I'm the one who called this meeting,' thought Integra in amusement, her eyes twinkling with mirth.

Maybe Walter was rubbing off on her?

She supposed that she could oblige them.

"Well then," she said, drawing out her own words for additional effect, almost like this was theatre instead of politics. "Let us begin."

"Well now," spoke Islands, the grey haired man sat directly opposite Integra at the other end of the table, his intentions made perfectly clear through his tone, "the situation must be quite dire if you feel that arranging a gathering of the Round Table is necessary."

Integra smiled. "Yes sir." Trust Islands to be the only one who had wrapped his head around their current stance.

One rather impatient member of the Round Table spoke up. "Sir Integra, the reports that we've been receiving over the past few months of vampire attacks have been increasing steadily with each passing week. The number of fatalities in the past three weeks equal almost two hundred!"

"It's quite obvious to anyone that these incidents aren't just random murders. Rumours have been spreading amongst the media and the public are becoming restless despite our attempts to put a lid over things," another man piped up.

"We cannon supress everything. We need information Sir Integra." This came from a third member of the Round Table, his tone more professional then that of his two acquaintances.

Holding her cigar in a single hand, Integra began speaking while her other hand slowly reached for something in front of her. "As each and every one of you know, we have been investigating the problem. Thanks to the efforts of the Hellsing Organisation, an important piece of evidence has come into our possession."

Raising her hand up to eye level, Integra revealed a microchip the size of her thumbnail to everyone to see. The atmosphere of the room almost instantly changed.

"What on earth is that supposed to be?" the man next to Islands, Penwood, demanded.

"A transmitter," explained Integra, her expression turning from amused to grave. "This is only one of many that we have found. We have been finding them surgically implanted within the vampires. These transmitters transmit a signal that report on the creature's movements, mental state and physical condition."

Several people gasped while nearly everyone's eyes widened at what this meant for them. Even Penwood understood the implications. He jumped to his feet in shock.

"Good god!"

"These incidents are not just random attacks. There is someone out there creating this vampires and using them to achieve an unknown goal," stated Integra. She placed the chip down and pressed the stub of her cigar into an ashtray in front of her.

Integra gave a smile that didn't quite reach the rest of her face. "That's not even the beginning of the problem."

"What?"

"Please, go on."

Integra lit herself another cigar. "The circumstances surrounding these unknown attacks don't much up. Normally, ghouls are created from the bodies of deflowered men and women once their blood has been completely drained by a vampire, but not in this case."

Breathing out smoke from her lit cigar, Integra continued. "Despite so many incidents having occurred, not one new vampire been born. Young children who are clearly virgins have also become ghouls as well. Traditionally, ghouls are destroyed when their host has been vanquished. Yet during the Braddrick incident, Vatican agent Alexander Anderson claimed to have destroyed the vampire well before our arrival."

Integra stopped speaking for a few moments to allow everyone to absorb what she had just said.

"The vampire responsible had already been slain, but the ghouls still walked."

"What does this mean?" Islands asked, staring at Integra with his hawk like gaze.

"We are at war against a conspiracy of vampire experts. Gentlemen, the enemy are just like us. They are displaying remarkable skill."

Naruto had been in the midst of walking around the basement, imagining what Rip looked like without her glasses when he heard the sound of raised voices coming from Seras' room. Curiosity overcoming common sense, which dictated that whenever one or more girls were angry avoid them at all cost, he investigated.

As Naruto got closer, he started making out what they were saying.

"Walter, what the hell is this thing!?"

"Why that Miss Victoria is a coffin."

Confusion bubbling in his body, Naruto reached the open door and walked in. Once he was inside, Naruto's confusion only grew. On the floor lay a dark, wooden coffin made for a medium sized person. Standing on either side was Seras and Walter. Seras looked like she was five seconds away from bursting into flames of rage while Walter was trying his best to remain professional despite his obvious fear.

Not aware of his presence, they continued their argument/discussion while Naruto watched.

"I know that, but why is there a coffin in my bedroom?" Seras growled, her accent pronouncing more thickly than before. Her face was surprisingly calm, not matching her voice which was starting frighten Naruto and Walter out of their wits.

"Oh, it's here due to the orders of Sir Integra," Walter explained, trying to shift the blame from Naruto's perspective. "We can't have a vampire who won't sleep in a coffin. So there you are!" The old man finished, trying to sound as powerful as possible (and failing).

"What have you done with my bed?" Seras demanded furiously.

Walter took several steps back, putting at least twelve feet between him and the enraged, female vampire. The old man gave a half bow. "Why it was disposed of, of course

Silence, complete utter silence . . . . . . . . . . . .

"AAAAAAAAAAARRGGHH! WALTER!"

Seras began snarling, drool dripping down her chin. In any other situation, Naruto would have found it funny if he hadn't been half terrified.

Walter began sweating profusely. "Well you see the orders were confirmed by Alucard as well," he quickly blurted out, thankfully stopping Seras before it came to blows.

"Master?" Seras muttered, blinking in surprise. Naruto found himself listening in as well despite himself

"Yes. Due to your many refusals to drink blood like a vampire should, you will slowly become weaker," explained Walter, gesturing to the coffin. "You have no choice but to sleep in a coffin. This is the only way to keep up your strength."

'Seras refuses to drink blood?" Naruto thought curiously. While one part of Naruto was glad that his friend didn't drink from people like Alucard did, he was also concerned at her now downtrodden expression.

"I understand that your still feeling . . . .doubt about the situation?" Walter asked Seras. Naruto took a step forward and opened his mouth to speak, but froze when an all too familiar voice beat him to it.

"You're hopeless."

Naruto whirled around to find Alucard standing in the doorway with his signature grin adorning his face. The shinobi yelped and scampered several feet away.

"Heheheheheh! So this dude's friend, I mean he's like a real doctor but like does the cosmetic shit on the side, right? So then that same crazy fuck with the horn comes back but now he wants a plexiglass plate for his skull! And the doctor actually fucking does it! He makes a fucking window! You can see the fucker's brain and shit! The guy's got a big monster horn and his head meat on display! The guy's a freak, I mean what the fuck!? Hahahahaha...Yeah, get it?" Yan cackled, in hysterics as he and Luke walked down the pathway that led to the front gate.

"Silence!" Luke snapped impatiently, his attention half diverted by the two guards. "This stream of rubbish spews from your mouth before every single job. Can we just this once aim for quiet, focused and cool?"

Yan shrugged, not really caring. "Yeah, yeah I get it. Same ol' shit bro. Fucking A." He raised a fist to fist bump his brother, but was left hanging.

Luke ignored the gesture. "May I remind you that failure is not an option?" The vampire didn't even want to begin imagining what would happen to the two of them should they fail. He was met with a dry snort from his brother.

"Oh fuck me bro. I could pull off this job with two hands shoved down my pants." Yan scoffed, shoving his hands in his pockets.

Now that they were in earshot of the guards, Luke and Yan expressions instantly became changed from cold and scrunched to kind and cheerful. The two brothers nearly made it to the gate before one guard blocked their path.

"Hey you two, what are you doing here?" the man demanded, one hand raised to block them, the other carefully hefted the assault rifle strapped to his back. The second guard moved to stand behind the first.

Luke raised his eyebrows in fake surprise. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. We're on a sightseeing tour of famous English estates," he exclaimed, pretending to appear apologetic.

"This mansion ain't open to the public?" Yan inquired. Unknown to his brother, it was actually a serious question. Wasn't Hellsing undercover or some shit like that?

"Please leave at once. This is private property," said the same guard, completely unaware he was seconds away from dying.

"Yes sir." Yan said, smirking.

"Alright." Luke raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A single gunshot rang out. The first guard's head exploded in a crimson shower that covered the fence in gore.

The second guard was slow reacting. Turning his head as his friend collapsed, his eyes widened in shock. The terrified soldier turned back to the brothers and was met with the sight of dozens of guns pointing straight at him from two travel buses parked on the side of the road.

Yan grinned. "Chow."

He snapped his fingers.

Every single gun on the buses opened fire at the exact same time. The remaining guard barely had enough time to scream before he disappeared in a hail of bullets. Even with both guards dead, the shooters continued firing at the gate, reducing it to rubble.

"Hold your fire! Hold your fire! I said hold your fucking fire!" Yan shouted and finally the guns creased.

Seeing the destruction wrought on the front gate, Yan sighed dramatically. "Dude, these guys are complete fucking idiots. Are you sure bout this fucking thing?"

Luke scoffed. "Please, this is an insignificant test, nothing more. Make sure that you don't forget the picture for we are smallest cogs in his great machine."

"Heh, fine whatever," Yan said. "Now let's have some fun."

At his word, the doors of both buses were blasted off their hinges. Spilling out, the buses contents lined themselves up in front of Luke and Yan. Once all of the ghouls were standing in order, then Yan drew his own weapons

Hefting his two modified submachine guns, Yan adrressed the ghouls.

"Alright, all of you dickless maggots listen up! You make the kill, then you drink the spill. Leave the boy alive, but if you run into Alucard or the Hellsing bitch, don't you quit until their dead! Dead!

Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. The next one shouldn't take as long for me to write since I'm not as busy.

Next time: Do I have to say what's going to happen next? Thought not.
