Naruto/Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony Xover.
Author's Note: FINALLY DONE!! This took a while and a bit of planning but I am finally done with chapter 7 and now onto chapter 8!! But before that, I shall answer some reviewers.
naruto/champ987: I didn't make Yugito 'overpowered' as you put it. She is perfectly able to battle someone four years younger than her because of a few things, one IS experience, something that can mean the difference between life and death on the battle field. I DO understand Jinchuriki, you insult me by saying that I don't read the manga. It seems to me that you read more fanfiction that manga, where in the manga does it tell about Gaara having a 'Tri Point Seal' on him? I have certainly never seen it, and even if it was there the sealing is not the only thing that makes a Jinchuriki strong.
Jinchuriki, to Kumo, are weapons and so they would have been trained to use their Bijuu's power and other jutsus and fighting styles as well to make them as powerful as possible. In the Manga, the Jinchuriki/Bijuu got their asses kicked as you put it because one, it was two against one and probably not in fair conditions, and two in the Bijuu's case they were no more than wild animals. We have not seen many other Jinchuriki fight other than Gaara, Yugito (Though the battle was short), Naruto, and Kirabi. So we do not know if they are 'weak' or not, so stop saying things you do not know about. And there is a reason that certain Akatsuki members are assigned to capture certain Jinchuriki/Bijuu, they are the best match to defeat them.
In Naruto's case, Kisame can take away the Kyuubi's chakra and Itachi can trap Naruto in Genjutsu, which he has little talent with. Gaara because Deidara can cause large amounts of damage and there is only so much the sand can take. Yugito because Hidan and Kakuzu can't really die from the flames. As for Kirabi, I have no idea.
Yugito only went into her full demon mode since she knew that they were S-Rank criminals and she couldn't afford to give them any opening, and of course they beat her. They are IMMORTAL S-Rank ninja. And the only reason Sasuke beat the Eight-Tails was because of the Black Immortal flames of the Amaterasu. Not many can match to those flames. If you don't like my fic, there is nothing making you read it so I suggest if you hate it, go away.
Ffwatchdog: Same thing as I told champ, I didn't overpower Yugito. No duh Hidan defeated her, IMMORTAL person could pretty much beat anyone. The reason Shikamaru beat him was because he used his head and cut Hidan into little pieces. Let me remind you that THIS IS NOT SHIPPUDEN, Naruto was still training with Jiraiya during the time he got sent into this new world and also no offence but it is pretty black and white to think that way, that because Yugito beaten by Hidan, who was beaten by Shikamaru, and just because Naruto is stronger than Shikamaru means that Naruto can defeat Yugito. It is like saying that just because Naruto beat Gaara, who beat Sasuke, means that Naruto can beat Sasuke. We saw the result of that. There are different results to different people fighting.
Also, yes Senjutsu would be good but Naruto learns that a lot into Shippuden, and the time right now was during the training trip with Jiraiya, so no go with the Senjutsu no matter what. Also, don't put words into my mouth. I said they aren't suppose to be noble WARRIORS, not noble people. Humans can't just be cold blooded killers in an instant. Ninjas are suppose to win by any means needed, what they do is their choice. I said that I was pissed that they made Naruto too heroic to use the Fox's chakra, never anything else. They can do noble things, just in battle it is different rules so don't put words in my mouth.
Naruto will get stronger but if he will rip Yugito a new one that you will have to wait and see.
Captain50: Yes, I know they are suppose to be peaceful and not use harm unless it is very much needed, I have read all the Artemis Fowl books. But think about it from the Bijuu's point of view, their masters were forced to use a spell to take them out of time because of HUMANS, they were separated from the rest of their kin by HUMANS, I think they would be filling up with malice and hate for humans then. And so creates their evil look that they have.
Anyhow, you guys are probably annoyed with me answering so many reviews, so ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!
Talking- "Stupid Fox"
Thinking-'You still in there?'
Bijuu/Jutsus- "Yeah Brat"
Bijuu Thinking- 'Damn Seal'
Chapter 7
'Ohh.....shit....' thought Naruto as he looked at the two people in front of him. The young boy in front of him was staring at him with awe and amazement, all while asking the girl next to him, his sister he had said, questions about keeping the blond as a pet. The girl was silent, staring at him as well before she raised her hand in front of her brother. The boy stopped speaking while the girl asked in fluent French, "What are you?"
He knew that, that would be one of the first questions she would ask. He was surprised though that she hadn't started running off screaming 'monster' and such like that. Even civilians in his world, who knew about all the things that shinobi could do, would be running off and screeching at the top of their lungs by now.
He decided to try to disarm any thoughts of her's that he was a unhuman being, "What do you mean? These things are just part of my costume." replied Naruto in French as well, though not anywhere near as fluent as the girl.
Inside it's large cage, the Kyuubi smacked it's head with it's paw. How in the nine levels of hell could it's host go from smart fighter to dumb ass within a day? 'Kami hates me....'
The young boy blinked at this and looked at the tails and ears on Naruto, "Those are part of a costume? Really?! Adeline, can I get a costume like that?!"
The girl glared at the blond while slightly shaking her head at her brother's question, "No Lulu, you can't even if it were a costume. As for you," she pointed at Naruto as she said this, "That is not a costume. One, the ears slightly twitch at every loud sound, such as my brother talking, so they are real. Two, there is no costume in the world that can be so advanced that they can move like real appendages, such as your tails. And three, unless you have a really bad hair disease, your hand is not suppose to look like that."
Naruto instantly looked down to his left hand, which was covered in red fur, and cursed in his mind. Well, there went his cover, this damn girl was observant. Sighing, he looked up and stared questionably at the girl, "Fine, I am not fully human, I wonder why you haven't run away screaming yet."
The girl only shook her head, opening her mouth to reply but her words died when her dark eyes caught sight of something, or someone, running at the blond. "Stop Lulu!"
Naruto blinked as he saw from the corner of his eye, the small boy was running at him. For a second, he had almost thought that maybe the child thought he was a monster and was going to try some type of attack against him. But that thought was instantly thrown away as soon as he saw the look of wonder and happiness on the boy's face. He mentally grimaced, how could he think such a thought about a child?
While he thought this, the small boy jumped and grabbed one of Naruto's tails. The blond tensed at this while the boy turned his head, looking at his sister with his face in a pout, "But Adeline!! The tail looked so fluffy....and do not call me that!! My name is Lucien, not Lulu! You and grandpa know I hate that name!"
Adeline smirked at her brother, chuckling softly as she replied, "Why else do you think I call you that Lulu?" Her face then turned serious as she looked back at the blond in front of her, who had now calmed down from the shock of having the young boy grab his tail.
Adeline Renard's face turned into one of amusement, 'Well this is one hell of a surprise.' Of course inwardly she was scared of the blond in front of her, who knew what he could or would do, but he had not harmed them yet. Even when Lucien grabbed one of his tails, he did not attack or anything like that. So she doubted that he would hurt them, she was a very bright girl and used her head instead of just quickly assuming things without knowing anything of the situation.
Naruto blinked down at the boy and raised his tail up, hearing the child whine from losing the tail while the blond looked up at the girl who was looking on at this with a amused look on her face. His eye twitched at this, "You find this very funny don't you?"
The girl smirked widely, showing a few of her white teeth, "Yes I do."
The blond sighed and shook his head, hearing the demon inside of him laughing it's tails off. He tuned that noise out while he turned to the girl, raising an eyebrow while he asked, "You never did tell me.....why haven't you run screaming when you saw me?"
Adeline smiled, sitting down on the sandy surface of the beach. Her hand dug into the sand then lifted out of it, a small stream of sand pouring out as she replied, "Because, even though I am scared of you, you have done nothing to harm us yet. I use my head instead of other people who just assume things."
Naruto nodded at this, it made sense of course. She would have to be a little bit scared of him, but at least she used her mind. His thoughts were broken by a now familiar tug on his tail. He sighed, lifting his tail in front of him and saw that holding onto the tail was Lucien, who looked like he was just caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
It took only a glare with his violet eyes to have the small child let go. He fell on his rear and ran back to his sister, hiding behind her as she giggled, "Sorry about that, he is just too curious for his own good."
The blood shook his head, smiling as he waved his hand in front of him, "It's alright, I was like that too, maybe a little more hyper than him though." he replied with a foxy grin.
She nodded at this, smiling at him before a question popped up in her mind, "Hey, what were you doing here on the beach coughing anyway? And we never did get your name?"
Naruto's grin slowly disappeared as the situation at hand came back to him. His eyes widened as his mind was racing, 'Ok, after the fight with that damn bitch, I hid underwater after the explosion with the Odama Rasengan and went in the direction that I saw the boat go in. Where was the boat going to?! Nice in France wasn't it!?'
He turned to the girl and quickly asked, "Where are we?!"
The girl blinked in confusion, wondering why he wouldn't know where he was, 'I'll wait until later to ask again.' she thought before answering him, "We are at Valletta, Melta. Why you ask?"
Naruto cursed loudly in his mind, his loud growling scaring the two in front of him. Where in hell was he?! And where in hell was Nice? 'Why in hell does this shit keep happening to me!? Kami seems to really like fucking up with my life, or I just have REALLY bad karma.' thought Naruto.
Kyuubi snorted in it's cage, having thought the same thing mere moments ago.
Lucien poked his head out from behind his sister and saw the blond's now angry and sad look, "What's wrong?"
The blond jinchuriki was pulled out of his thoughts by this question and was about to answer when he heard a voice yell out, "Lucien! Adeline! You two there?"
The brother and sister paled instantly, looking at the direction of where the voice came from, where a very small cliff covered the beach. They turned their heads back to Naruto, but blinked as they saw smoke dissipate and the blond no where to be seen.
Their blinking stopped when they heard a yip come from their feet, and looked down to see a crimson furred fox looking up at them with a large, fluffy tail with a blond tip at the end. Both of them were in shock when they saw the fox wink at them.
"Lulu, Adeline, there you two are." said a voice from above them. The two kids and the fox looked at the source of the voice and saw a middle aged man, maybe in his late fifties, walking down the side of the cliff. He had light brown hair, his skin having a light tan to it, and his deep brown eyes looking down at the kids as he walked to them. He was wearing a blue t-shirt, and black pants with tan sandals on his feet.
Adeline stepped in front of the fox, hiding him as she spoke, "Hi grandpa Toni!" she said with a smile.
Toni smiled with a amused look on his face, one that Naruto noticed that looked similar to the one Adeline had before. 'Well damn...hopefully he isn't as smart or observant as his granddaughter, or else I might be screwed.' thought the transformed Naruto, still hiding behind Adeline.
"Hello Adeline, now what is that furry thing behind you?" asked Toni calmly with a knowing smile.
Naruto cursed in his mind, damning the smart genes of the world. The Kyuubi chuckled at this and voiced, "Don't you get tired of being stupid and wrong?"
'SHUT UP!!'
Adeline sweatdropped at this and sighed, turning around and picked up the fox by the forelegs, who yipped at this, and held him in front of her grandpa. "It's a fox."
The old man blinked at this as he bent his knees, bringing his head to level with the fox's head, staring at it in confusion. "There shouldn't be any foxes on this island...."
Lucien, who had been silent until now, suddenly grabbed the fox from his sister's grasp and held it tightly. Adeline pouted at this while crossing her arms in front of her chest, and if one looked closely, they would see one of the fox's eyes twitch slightly from being handled like a mere toy. The boy looked up and asked, "Can we keep him? Can we?!"
Toni narrowed his eyes while shaking his head, "Now just wait a second, who knows if this thing has a disease or if it is someone else's pet or something. We can't just take it with us to Nice."
The fox's ears suddenly stood up and looked at the old man in shock, 'They are going to Nice? YES!! This might be my ticket to finding the others!' thought Naruto, now thanking Kami and Lady Luck for being on his side.
Adeline looked at her grandpa and pouted, "But grandpaaa!! Come on, he doesn't have a leash, and I doubt someone would keep a fox as a pet. And I don't think he is sick, if he does have a disease, we can check at Nice. Please! Can't we keep him?" To add to the pout, she gave her grandpa a puppy dog look.
Now Toni had dealt with this tactic before. Problem was, every time he faced it, he failed to over come it. Every time. His right eye twitched at this, 'She must have got this from her grandmother.....' while he tried to resist the look. It failed however, when Lucien joined in with his own puppy dog look. Hell, the fox even looked like it was giving that look to him!
He growled for a second before shaking his head, shooting his arms over his head in defeat, "Fine! But you have to take care of him." If he was hoping for that to make them rethink this choice, he was disappointed yet happy at the same time at their cheer of triumph. He knew his grandkids, when they were determined about something, they would do it no matter what. The fox would be in good care.
"Now come on, let's get back to the hotel and pack up, we are leaving for Nice tomorrow." said Toni, now walking away. The two grandkids followed them, with the boy whining when the sister took the fox back and stuck her tongue at her brother. The fox's eye twitched, wondering if this was really such a good idea.

Holly's hazel eyes kept track of a white mass only a distance away, water parting itself as it sailed through the blue sea. One of her eyes were twitching, these people wasted no time as the night that Yugito, or cat bitch as Holly nicknamed her, they had got onto a boat and now were on their way to their next stop. Hopefully it would be Nice, but being hopefully hadn't helped her much so far. Especially in the case of Naruto....
She shook her head as the small whispers of tears from her eyes fell, her body flying in the night air. The bitch never said that Naruto was dead, so there can still be a chance of him being alive. But even if he was alive, he would still be stuck at sea or lost from any communication to them. Or if any humans find out about his non human features, he could be killed or used as a lab rat. He was strong, but she doubted that the teen could face up to high speed bullets.
'Why am I so worried?' thought the elf as she kept her distance from the boat. The blond woman was able to detect Naruto even though he was outside the boat, so she was ordered by Artemis and Foaly to keep away from the boat so they don't get her as well. 'I only met him a few days ago, why do I care so much? Sure he is a fairy as well but he is also a Mud Man!'
Even as she told herself this, the painful feeling in her stomach and chest returned. Her thoughts turned to the lost boy and wondered if he was alright and where he was. She shook her head again inside her helmet, trying to get rid of those thoughts, 'Focus Holly! You have a mission to do, and another genius to face.'
Foaly had finally gotten the identities of the people in the group other than Yugito, though it had taken some time. Someone had seemingly wiped every trace of the girl's family from the Interent, of course no one could hide from the centaur. He had found a ghost image of the girl winning a spelling bee when she was four, then it was easy to find the other files with her name.
Minerva Paradizo, a twelve year old girl born in Canges sur Mer in the south of Fance and was a genius child just like Artemis Fowl himself. Having already completed High School, and studying two learning degrees, Quantum Physics and Psychology, her IQ could give Fowl a run for his money.
One of the men was her father, Gaspard Paradizo, a father of two. Minerva herself and a a little five year old boy named Beau. He was fifty two, and a very respected cosmetic surgeon, having millions of dollars under his name. That had explained how they can get to the demon locations easily, money can get one almost anything it seems.
Another one of the men, the one with the dark spiky hair, was head of Soto Security, Juan Soto. Though the security was legitimate, the man was nothing to worry about as he had little to no training under his belt. The last man however, the one with a mess of colorful hair on his head, was most likely the most dangerous of the group, save Yugito herself.
Billy Kong, or his birth name Jonah Lee, was born in Malibu in the early seventies. His family originally was from Taiwan, but moved back after his older brother, Eric, was killed in a gang fight. After moving back to the city and being a thief, he had to leave in the nineties after killing a accomplice of his with a kitchen knife. A warrant was out there for him in Taipie, but under the name Johan Lee. After that, he left to Paris and got his named and face changed, though not enough to escape Foaly's computers, then took up Martial Arts.
Butler informed them of how dangerous this man was, having a small well trained crew under him that hire themselves out as bodyguards. They had no morals and would do any task for the right price. They only had one rule, to never quit until the job was done.
Their final destination, or so they hoped, was the Paradizo chateau in Tourrettes sur Loup, twenty minutes from Nice, France. Meaning it would only take twenty minutes for Artemis, Gaara, and Butler to get over there, as they had landed in Nice only an hour ago and were checking into an hotel.
Holly sighed, continuing to follow the boat before she blushed. The cause of this was a growl from her stomach. She hadn't ate anything since this morning, and decided to get something now. She reached into a pocket in her suit and took out a ration bar, biting into it and grimaced at the slightly bitter taste. The bars tasted just about as good as dirt, but they were good to eat on missions as they were light-weight and filling. Though it would probably take a few dozen to fill up Naruto.
The elf mentally cursed in her mind, having thought about the boy again. 'He is fine Holly, do not worry about it. Just finish the mission quickly and we can go search for him. Stop thinking of the Mud Boy! But he is a fairy as well....and isn't like most of the selfish Mud Men....'
She sighed and kept on flying after the white boat, her thoughts continuing to be about a certain blond fox.

Minerva's eye continued to twitch while her blue eyes read through the pages of a large book in her hands, a tapping sound being the source of her growing annoyance. One of her eyes turned to the source of it and was surprised to see Yugito sitting in a chair, tapping her finger against the arm of it with a almost sad look on her face.
The young girl raised her eyebrow at this, the woman had been like this ever since she had returned from her battle with the other jinchuriki. The girl was still amazed at the story, these shinobi were capable of doing such things as controlling the elements themselves and controlling pure energy, such as what the boy did with the 'chakra shroud' as Yugito called it. This made her more determined to get magic and 'chakra' recognized by the scientific community, imagine what they could do with such powers!
She threw those thoughts out of her head and looked at Yugito's face, trying to figure out what was wrong. She knew it had something to do with the battle with the Uzumaki boy, but what could it be? She had told her everything of the fight and nothing happened between the demon hos-
Her eyes widened as an idea popped into her head, then looked at the woman. She coughed to get the shinobi's attention, which worked to an extent. One of the woman's slant blue eyes turned to Minerva and looked at her questionably, "Yes?"
Tapping her chin, the young girl thought for only a few seconds about which approach would be best. "Is the battle with a fellow Jinchuriki troubling you, Yugito?" she asked, having picked the direct approach.
Yugito's eyes narrowed at the girl, cursing in her mind at having been so readable that a child was able to see her feelings. Then again, this child was a genius and should have been able to pick up on her sadness.
For the last day, she had been thinking of her fight with the teen, another demon host like herself who was probably as confused as her at being in a new world. And she didn't even think about that, she had merely fought him as if he were just another enemy, which he was. But one question stood out to her, would she really have killed or taken prisoner one of the few kin she had? She didn't really have an answer for that.
Then there was his words that he spoke during the battle, the wrods that made her doubt the mission she was on.
"Whatever you are going to do with that demon......I won't let you do it!! I won't let you hurt The People and this world!!"
Her demon had informed her who 'The People' were, it was merely another name for the whole fairy race. If she carried out with this mission, if the demon they were carrying was ever revealed, would it really hurt The People and this world?
The answer was yes, it would. Humans would hunt down these creatures and kill them. Fairies would be forced to retaliate and a whole global war would soon engulf the world. And would she do all this, just for the sake of returning home? For now, she didn't have that answer either but soon she knew she would have to face that answer.
She turned to the brains of the mission, the young girl in front of her and answered, "Yes...it is...Minerva, is this whole thing right?"
The young girl narrowed her eyes at Yugito, putting down the book in her hands in her lap and asked, "What do you mean?"
"This whole thing....showing the world that demons exist...the reality of magic....the existence of fairies. Is it right to do that?" asked Yugito, having a worried look on her face.
Minerva raised her eyebrow at her in confusion before understanding flew through her mind. She sighed, leaning into the chair she was in and looked at the woman, "I know what you are trying to say...and I understand why you feel this way but you understand this as well, humans will always look for something. Our curiosity has us look everywhere, and sooner or later we would have found out about the fairies. At least this way we can control the outburst and both human and fairies have a better chance of getting together. They no longer have to hide."
Yugito nodded but the seed of doubt implanted in her mind was starting to grow, wondering if she should continue with the mission or ruin it. It went against her code, to never give up on any mission unless it was truly impossible. But maybe this mission, to return to her world, was impossible....
Minerva stared at the blond woman as many emotions flashed on her face, confusion and sadness the most common. She knew that only Yugito could solve her feelings, and she hoped that she continued with the mission. If not, she was in trouble. For now, she could only wait, she picked up the book on her lap and continued to read as Yugito's silently thought about her choices.

Elemental Nations, Outside of Amekagure no Sato
Itachi's red eyes darted to each tree as he followed his teacher through the raining forest, water forming pools around them as they walked. Their feet never go wet from the puddles, having chakra flowing through their feet as they walked in the opposite direction of Ame. While his eyes were searching the area, his mind was on this jutsu of Madara's.
'This Jutsu, it was never in the Uchiha Clan's scrolls. They had information on every Mangekyo jutsu, Tsukuyomi (Moon Reader), Amaterasu, Susanoo (Storm's Help), they even had records of the very rare Kamui (Might of the Gods). But never did they mention a Amatsu-Mikaboshi in any of the scrolls.' thought Itachi in confusion, going through his memory.
He looked up, and saw that they were walking into a small clearing. He locked his thoughts away for later as he turned to Madara, raising an eyebrow at him as he waited for the elder Uchiha to speak. Madara, seeing this look, spoke, "Now, here is where you shall be practicing Amatsu-Mikaboshi, but before that, I shall tell you what it does. Though a little history of our Sharingan is in order for you to fully grasp it's power."
A glare from Madara had given Itachi the message not to interrupt him while he spoke, not that he would have anyway. His curiosity of this new jutsu was too great, so he listened with attention to Madara's words, "You see, while most people think that the Sharingan mutated from the Byakugan, there are few people who remember the legend of the creation of the Dojutsus (Eye Techniques).
"It was said that as the world was evolving and humans were learning their place on this earth, the Gods above decided who could make the greatest powers to the humans to help them out. Many of the Gods created Bloodlines, each more different and unique than the last. They altered the bodies of humans avd gave them powers beyond most imaginations. Soon, the Gods stopped altering the bodies themselves then worked on their eyes.
"The first of the Dojutsus to come into creation was the Rinnegan, gifted to humans by the Goddess Omoikane, the Goddess of Wisdom and Intelligence. With her power, she gave the users of the Rinnegan the ability to control any power in the world. The holders of the Rinnegan are said to be able to use any ninjutsu, no matter what element. The first holder of the Rinnegan was the Rikudo Sennin (Sage of the Six Paths), the said creator of the ninja world.
"The second of the Dojutsus to be created was the Byakugan, which was created with the help of three Gods, Fujin the God of the Wind, Raijin the God of Thunder, and Ame-no-Uzume the Goddess of the Dawn. While Uzume gave the Byakugan holders the ability to see all around then and through anything as if the sun was up close, Fujin and Raijin gave them their fighting style, Juken (Gentle Fist). A style as fluent as the wind, yet powerful and swift as thunder.
"The last of the Dojutsus that came into existence was our own Sharingan, created by four Gods of the universe, Amaterasu the Goddess of the Sun, Tsukuyomi the God of the Moon, Susanoo the God of Storms, and finally Amatsu-Mikaboshi The God of Darkness and of the Stars. Amaterasu gave the Sharingan users natural control of fire, including the black flames of the jutsu we named after her, as well as the Sharingan's impressive seeing abilities. Tsukuyomi gave our eyesight even better abilities, as with our bloodline we see things as if they are in slow motion, as well as our copying ability. We then named his last gift after him, our ability to cast genjutsus with just eyesight. Susanoo's gift to us was the ability to call upon a figure of himself to fight for us, using his three legendary weapons the Totsuka no Tsurugi (Ten Hands Long Sword), and the Yata no Kagami (Eight Span Mirror).
"But few know of our last gift, the one given to us by the evil Amatsu-Mikaboshi. You see, this God controled the dark forces within the Universe, creating chaos in any way possible. With this power, he gave our illusions even more power, the ability to control anyone through hypnosis, as well as even fully controling those with fierce dark emotions. That is how I was able to control the Kyuubi with my Sharingan, it's heart was so full of malice that it was easy for me to control it. It is also why we must kill one close to us or have someone close to us die, the dark emotions in us will set off the Mangekyo stage. He also gave us the ability to bend space and time itself, giving us the technique Kamui. We also named another version of that technique after him, the gate way through universes themselves and the ability to teleport throughout space."
Itachi's eyes widen at this, finally realizing why he would be learning this technique. He would be the key to getting the jinchuriki, using that jutsu he would open the gate to the original world of the Bijuu and they would capture the demon hosts. The Uchiha then narrowed his eyes at his mentor, doubt seeping into his mind, "But there is a catch..."
Madara smirked at the young man, "Yes, there is always a catch. With the evil power of Amatsu in us, there is always a chance of us going mad or crazy ourselves. Humans have always wanted more power, the dark forces in us just makes it more common and potent than others. Even more so when we try to gain the Mangekyo level of the Sharingan. So the other Gods made a failsafe, should we gain this stage and continue to use it, our eyesight would slowly dissipate into nothingness. The only way we could save ourselves from blindness was by taking another Mangekyo that hadn't lost it's light yet."
The nukenin nodded at this, knowing the key to stopping his own blindness, one must take a pair of Mangekyo eyes with blood similar to their own. That is how Madara did it, taking his own brother's eyes to stop the darkness. And that is how he has to do it, taking his own brother's eyes, Sasuke's eyes.
Itachi turned one of his Sharingan eyes to the sky, seeing lightning dance in the distance and remembered Sasuke's now signature technique. 'What are you doing now....Otouto? No matter, soon enough I will stop the darkness. Our battle will come soon enough.'
Madara turned to his student, narrowing his eyes at Itachi's thoughtful look before getting to what they were here for, "Alright Itachi, it is time to learn the jutsu. You can only do this with the Mangekyo on though, and it is dangerous to use."
Itachi raised an eyebrow at this while his Sharingan changed, the three commas forming together to make a curved Shuriken shape, "How so?"
Madara chuckled and smirked at the young man, "You'll see."
Only minutes later, was the forest filled with painful screams of the young Uchiha.

Nice, France, Hotel Rooom
Butler was still disturbed a bit by his new companion's situation, as he wondered how in the world the redhead's body even functioned when it never got sleep. At the moment, Gaara and him were looking over a map of Nice and the area around it, including the area around the Paradizo chateau. He was glad that he found another person who could think of battle strategies, and with Gaara's abilities, a break in seemed more possible. But they would have to wait until they had gotten a real blueprint of the security of the place for any further ideas.
He could hear Artemis's tapping on the computer, his charge was working through the equation of the deteriorating time spell, working out the next place and time the next demon would show up. He had told his charge to get some sleep, but the boy argued that they still had up to three days until the abductors reached Nice, and he could rest tomorrow or the day before they reach Nice.
Butler snorted, they had been spending a lot of time away from the Fowl Manor and he wondered how in heck Artemis's parents believed the boy's lie for being in Nice. Well it wasn't really a lie, they were waiting for a friend, Holly that is. And maybe Naruto as well.
The bodyguard's eyes softened slightly at the thought of the boy. During the latest years with Artemis, he had took the role of general protector, and now he had a feeling of guilt at the boy's death. He knew there was little chance of him still being alive, if Yugito hadn't killed him, the cold ocean or sharks may have done him in after his tiring battle with the other jinchuriki.
The teen didn't deserve death, he was merely trying to protect his now kin and everyone else. He had a cheerful attitude that seemed to infect everyone around him, even Artemis himself, a no small feat. His life probably wasn't the best either, he had told him of how he had a demon in him, and he knew how people hated anything that was 'nonhuman'. That was probably why he reacted cold to Holly when she asked how his life was.
He sighed, turning his eyes to the redhead who was on the other side of the small table that held the map on it. His curiosity was getting to him and decided to ask, "Gaara....how was your and Naruto's life because of the demons?" Maybe he shouldn't have asked that, as he saw Gaara tense at the question.
Gaara hadn't expected one of them to ask this question, but he knew that sooner or later they would wonder exactly how their lives were effected by their demons. He saw out of the corner from his eye that Artemis was paying attention as well, though still working out the equation to the time spell. The redhead sighed and decided to tell them, if merely so they don't ask later.
"Our lives...weren't the best. You probably already know that much, humans are naturally afraid of things they don't understand. In my case, they knew I was merely the container, but thought I was insane and a mad killing machine. Which I was in a way, up until I was 6, Shukaku had always protected me using sand around me, which we had plenty of in Suna, my village. Any civilian stupid enough to try to kill me was crushed and killed by the sand, soon they stopped once they figured out there was nothing they could do against me.
"Shukaku also acted up when I felt any negative emotions, sadness, anger, anything at all and the sand acted and tried to kill the source of it. I could barely control the sand and so barely could stop it most of the time. When my father, the Kazekage or the leader of the village, saw that his 'weapon' was becoming too powerful too quickly, he started sending assassins after me. The first one was the person who I thought loved me, my uncle. But he was ordered by my father to kill me and he almost did, I protected myself with sand then he tried to kill me by blowing himself up. That failed as well you see.
"After that, I started thinking that no one loved me, that one could only be strong by loving and fighting for yourself. After all, before my mother died because of being a sacrifice to sealing the Shukaku inside of me, she cursed me and Suna. I killed any assassins that came after me, and soon my father stopped, seeing as he was losing too many shinobi to me. It wasn't until about a year or so ago, when I went to the chunin exams in Konoha, Naruto's home, that I have changed my views. He showed me that fighting for yourself can only make you so strong, while fighting for others makes you even stronger." said the Suna shinobi, letting the tale sink into the pair's minds.
While Artemis and Butler knew about human hatred, they didn't think it would be that bad. To having to kill at a young age, to know that your own father wanted you dead, to indirectly be the cause of your own mother's death would have certainly have one go mad. Artemis mentally shuddered while Butler asked, "And Naruto's life?"
Gaara closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before opening his green eyes again and looking at the two, "In a way, I guess one would think his life was worse than my own. While his demon sealing was used for a noble cause, as the Kyuubi was attacking Konoha and the leader sealed the beast into Naruto to stop the attack at the cost of his own life, people still hated him. Even with the Hokage's, or the leader of Konoha, dying wish be that they think of Naruto as a hero, they ignored it and thought him as the Kyuubi itself. It was only because of the new Hokage, well actually the one who came out of retirement, that Naruto survived that day, with the threat that anyone harming him would be killed.
"For most of the time, Naruto was ignored by the people, while a few times masses of people attacked him as they figured out that such a number of people couldn't be killed or Konoha's economy would worsen. With Naruto being ignored, he strived for recognition even if it was the bad kind as he pulled pranks of all sorts of scales, even painting on the monument that held the Hokage's faces. He wanted people to look at him, to know that he at least existed to someone. The only one who gave him kindness was the Hokage, who looked at him like he was his own grandson." explained the redhead, sadness in his own eyes at his friend's horrible childhood.
Butler mentally winced, Naruto's story was just as bad as Gaara's, though he wouldn't say worse. They were bad in their own way, one having their whole existence hated by everyone they knew, and one having their existence ignored by everyone but one.
Artemis narrowed his eyes at this, a question popping into his mind, "Didn't Naruto have anything to protect him? The Kyuubi must have surely gave him some power."
Gaara shook his head, "No, Kyuubi isn't like Shukaku in the way that it doesn't control elements. The fox is a being of pure energy, and the only thing that it gave Naruto was higher levels of chakra than any normal person should have and a fast healing ability. He didn't even know of the Kyuubi's existence in him until he was twelve."
Artemis widened his eyes at this, then the blue orbs softened slightly. It was one thing to be ignored, but for that long and not know why....it was amazing that Naruto hadn't gone crazy from it.
A sudden beeping from his laptop drew his attention and looked at the now finished equation. He narrowed his eyes, trying to make sense of it before his eyes widened in shock then cursed loudly, "Fuck!"
Butler raised an eyebrow, knowing something bad was going to happen if Artemis cursed. "What's wrong?"
Artemis's blue eyes glared at the screen of the laptop, then looked at the two at the table, sighing quietly before responding, "The time spell is decaying faster than I thought it would, the next demon should be appearing within the next two days."
Gaara narrowed his eyes at this, knowing there was something else, "And what is the location?"
Sighing, the Fowl boy looked out the window of the hotel room at one of the beaches and spoke, "The most public beach in Nice, the La Reserve beach."

Elemental Nations, Oto no Kuni (Land of Sound)
Lightning and rain danced down in the night sky, the moon glowing brightly despite the dark clouds in it's way. A soft dimming orange glow lit the night from a single spot in a large forest, as lightning struck down at that spot. The smell of burning flesh was fresh in the air, but quickly being washed away by the pouring rain.
Ruins remained in the place of a village, burnt and sliced bodies laying all around the area as they were slowly sinking into the mud under them. Four figures in black cloaks looked at the destruction with indifference, well three figures. One of the four was looking at the figure in front of them all.
The figure watching the supposed leader was dressed in a black cloak just like the others, with small amounts of red hair poking out from the hood that covered their head. They were the shortest one there, though not by much compared to two of the figures.
Another one was the second tallest of the group, carrying a large blade on his back on their cloaked back. A small amount of white hair seeping out from their hood, and one could almost feel a bloodthirsty grin behind the shadows of the hood.
The figure in the back of the group was easily the tallest of them all, no hood covered his head, showing a moss of spiky orange hair. Orange eyes looked at the destruction before turning to the figure in the front.
The last figure was the third tallest of the group, black hair poked out of their hood. On the back of the cloak, was the symbol of a fan with the top of it red and the bottom of it white. The figure then started chuckling softly as they opened their eyes, showing a pair of eyes with a red six point star and a black background behind it. The eyes glowed from the shadows of the hood, thinking to themselves, 'Even in another world...you are useful...and annoying...eh dope?'

A/N: FINALLY done.....I am done with this chapter and everything is getting set up for the big mess that is going to happen in the next chapter!!
I know that some of you will get pissed off at Sasuke's Mangekyo but to the world Naruto is dead, so Sasuke would have learned about this and this would have set off the Mangekyo stage. We do not know all the exact things that set off the stage, (Remember that Kakashi also has the Mangekyo as well and he said that all of his loved ones are dead, and also he wouldn't be the one to kill someone close to him). So I am giving this a possible thing of happening. And also IT IS FANFICTION!! Some Authors have the Kyuubi give a Uchiha Naruto an Mangekyo version of the Sharingan without him having to do anything so yeah, at least this is sorta possible.
I hope you liked the chapter and please review.
