*BEEP*

A Morning alarm rang through the room as a figure started to awake from the sound. The covers lifted to reveal Ahri her hair had grown well past her shoulder all the way down her back.

Her ears had also gotten much larger then before and were now more pronounced than before. Getting out of bed she made her way to her own personal bathroom that was attached to her own room.

She looked up at the full body mirror and gazed at herself. Her body was no longer the weak skinny thing it was when her adopted parents had found her having now access to the best food and luxuries that life could offer.

Her body had filled out nicely now possessing healthy muscles. Her face also no longer possesses the baby fat it did when she was young and she now possesses sharp beautiful features having grown into a beauty.

Her breasts had now also grown into a large C Cup and were still growing, further down her hips had gained an hourglass figure and she possessed thick thighs and a heart shaped ass. She took off her sleepwear and stepped into the shower and prepared to shower.

As the warm water from the shower hit her, Ahri hummed a soft tune to herself while thinking back on how much her life had changed after she had been adopted. She now had access to every luxury in the world and didnt want for anything.

She knew that there were many who did not have the chance she was given and was grateful for this chance but the most important thing to her wasn't the luxuries or riches but that she finally wasn't alone and has a family that loves her.

After having showered and dressed Ahri made her way downstairs towards the kitchen where she heard Kushina humming a tune similar to the one she had been humming in the shower. Kushina noticed her adopted daughter had woken up and gotten ready. Ahri walked over to Kushina enveloped in her in a hug with Kushina hugging her back and giggling at her daughter's overly affectionate actions. Kushina could understand though as Ahri did not have anyone prior to them adopting her.

"You're awake, good, I am getting breakfast ready, why don't you get Naruto he should be in the training room" Kushina said. Ahri pouted at Kushina, it seems her brother had still not lost his habit of constant training. Sighing to herself Ahri made her way to the training room to get her brother to have breakfast. Seeing her daughter walk away Kushina sighed to herself and looked down in worry.

Michiko had informed that her family had started to get suspicious of her. Despite her family having disowned her she knew that if they found out about Naruto they would try and hunt them down.

Ahri eventually made her way to the training room and entered the observation room. Inside she could see her adoptive father Minato observing Naruto as he trained. Minato looked over to see Ahri walk into the training room.

"He is back to training like crazy again?. We were supposed to be hanging out today, `` Ahri said pouting at her father. Minato smiled at his daughter.

"Don't worry he is gonna be out shortly and then you will be able to hang out" Minato said before turning back to observe his son's training.

Naruto was currently fighting within the artificial training ground that had been generated by the Holographic Projection Technology. The training ground was a vast open field surrounded by trees on the outside and had a large lake on the south side of the training.

Naruto had grown from a small 10 year old kid and had grown into a teen of 16 years with a height of 5'8 and had developed a muscular body from all the training that he had been put through.

He was wearing standard training gear used by most militaries that included a kevlar vest, protective clothes and some appropriate training shoes. In his right hand he wielded a high quality thermal katana that could cut through most materials and armour.

Strapped to his hip was a high powered revolver able to contain thirteen high caliber rounds, Developed by Malorian Arms the same company that had designed weapon's for legendary figures such as Morgan Blackhand and Johnny Silverhand to name a few. Minato and Kushina had commissioned this model for Naruto as a means to protect himself should he need to.

Dubbed the "Storm" this was a semi automatic revolver that fires high caliber rounds that were capable of piercing the toughest of armours. It could function as both a Power weapon able to ricochet its rounds around walls, ceiling and floors and also as a Tech weapon that could pierce through any surface to hit its target(1).

Currently surrounded by enemies on all sides Naruto prepared to finish off his opponents and complete his training for today. Getting into a sword stance his hud lit up with information and his eyes gained a green glow with computer code. Instantly the first three enemies exploded in front of him in a shower of sparks. Realising that he had struck the rest of the enemies started to prepare fire.

'Kurama, Activate Sandevistan' Naruto commanded with his thoughts as Kurama now having been developed into a fully functioning AI activated Naruto's Sandevistan a special cyberware that slowed a user perception of time by boosting their Adrenalin levels and allowing them to able to move at vast speeds.

Naruto's perception of time slowed to a crawl as he dodged the bullets that whizzed past his head, using the advanced speed granted to him by the cyberware Naruto advanced towards the closest enemy to his right slicing through the first enemy with a downward slash causing the enemy to be cut in two.

He then sliced his way through the horde of enemies on the right hand with expert swordsmanship. His eyes gained the same familiar green glow signaling him about to use his netrunning abilities and another trio of enemies exploded in a shower of electrical sparks.

With the entire right side of the enemies cleared Naruto turned his attention to the enemies in the center and left side of him.

'Kurama Analysis' Naruto commanded through his neural link with Kurama, Performing a quick scan of the remaining enemies within the training ground Kurama responded to Naruto.

"Ten Enemies Remaining, All together"

Naruto grinned and using his neural link to Kurama reactivated his Sandevistan cyberware. Blazing towards the enemies at blinding speed he drew his Revolver and opened fire on the enemies closest to him. The bullets from the revolver shot through the barrel and whizzed through the air before impacting two of the enemies straight in the head killing them. Dozens of bullets whizzed past him as he dodged and weaved his way through the bullets. A bullet came straight for him.

Naruto turned his head as the bullet headed towards him, the bullet grazed his cheek but before any damage could be done his skin started transforming, gaining a hard black metallic look. The bullet bounced off the hard substance on his skin which started to turn back to normal. This was a new unique Cyberware that Naruto had gotten the idea for and had helped in developing using his parents' contacts.

It was a unique Nanotechnology that worked by producing a skin layer over the wearer's body that hardened in order to protect the user. It provided protection against most weaponry but did have its weaknesses such as Tech weapons which are able to pierce through the skin.

Naruto rushed towards the enemies next to him cleaving through the soldier next to him, slashing with his katana. Using his momentum he followed through with his cut before twisting on his feet and unleashed two quick slashes in quick succession on the enemies behind the one he had just killed. The last remaining enemy in the centre of the arena charged towards him wielding a katana.

Naruto blocked the katana wielding enemies' strike and parried the enemy's strike hitting with a shoulder strike that pushed him back a few feet. The soldier charged back again, slashing him with multiple attacks all of which the blonde was able to block, his opponent went for another slash attempting to cut him in half but the blonde had anticipated the move and blocked the strike before locking his opponent's blade with his own.

Using his superior swordsmanship he bound his opponent's blade before disarming him with a quick move. As the sword flew through the air he performed a quick slash towards his enemies neck while spinning on his feet causing the opponents neck to separate from his head. The sword landed with a soft clank on the green grass of the simulated arena but by then the blonde had moved on to the remaining enemies.

Naruto dodged the heavy fire from the remaining enemies and activated his netrunning abilities, his eyes gained the familiar green hue before the enemies exploded in a shower of explosions. But before he could celebrate he felt himself get sucker punched causing him to slide back a few feet.

Inside the observation room both Ahri and Minato observed Naruto's training exercise, To Ahri it seemed like Naruto was doing great but to a trained and accomplished mercenary like Minato he could see several holes in Naruto's style and while they may not be big mistakes against normal soldiers and gangster, against an experienced professional it would get him killed.

"He's doing well isn't he Dad" Ahri asked

"He is….against normal soldiers but against a experienced professional his fighting style is still too rough and needs refinement" Minato replied

Ahri knew how dangerous the world was having survived on the streets but the training that Naruto was being put through was well beyond what he would need to survive every day in the streets and it seemed unlikely to her that Naruto would ever need to fight a Professional experienced merc. She had asked her parents why he was being trained this heavily before but had never received a satisfactory answer.

Minato pressed a few buttons on the controls to the training room. The Simulation continued inside the training while a door opened next to them that led to the training room. Minato moved towards the door.

"What are you going to do" Ahri asked

"This simulation is too easy for him now. He needs to face someone that will make it difficult for him" Minato said before stepping into the simulation. Arriving inside the simulation Minato camouflaged himself using the inbuilt camo tech that had been built into his armour. Minato watched as Naruto defeated the last of the enemies. Minato launched himself towards Naruto just as he turned around, hitting him with a straight punch that caused him to stumble back a few feet.

Naruto stumbled back a few feet and turned to where the attack had come from, he saw nothing before a clear silhouette appeared in front of him the invisibility cloak started to disappear revealing Minato who stood there in his full mercenary armour.

Naruto got to his feet and got himself into his fighting stance. Both of them started to size each other up waiting for the other to make the first move.

"I should have known you would sucker punch me like that" Naruto said, sounding a bit upset at having been caught off guard. Minato smiled at his son before they started to approach each other in their stances.

"In a life or death situation you never know when someone will strike, you have to be prepared for anything" Minato said seriously to his son. Naruto grunted before charging straight forward towards Minato, cocking his right fist back before unleashing a punch straight for Minato's head.

Minato ducked and weaved underneatht the fist coming towards him before launching his own fist aiming to hit Naruto right in the solar plexus but Naruto saw through his attack and pivoted out of the way. Using the Momentum from his movement he launched a Left Hook, Minato leaned back with the punch only grazing him but leaving most of his face unharmed.

Seizing the opportunity he grabbed Naruto's outstretched left arm grappling it and using Naruto's own weight against him performed an arm drag causing Naruto to land on his back. Minato went for a punch trying to hit Naruto as he lay on his back but Naruto rolled to the side before getting to his feet.

Naruto charged again this time taking a bit more caution and launched a barrage of punches and kicks towards his father. Minato ducked and weaved between the barrage of punches and kicks though even someone as experienced as him was finding some difficulty underneath the assault of kicks and punches.

Having had enough of the barrage, Minato responded by blocking the incoming hits before responding with his own series of punches and kicks, The dance of martial combat continued with them hitting each other with powerful hits and strikes. Naruto's head reeled back as his Minato's fist impacted his chin,

Naruto took a step back and regained his stance. Minato went for another series of strikes that Naruto either parried or dodged. He withstood the barrage of hits for a few more minutes waiting for his chance to strike. He saw the opportunity when Minato overextended slightly on one of his punches, his eyes gaining the familiar green glow of his netrunning abilities.

'Now Kurama' Naruto told his AI partner through their Neural link.

Minato tried to pull his arm back but could not feel his arm respond to him. He tried to move the rest of his body but it would not respond to him. It seemed his son had hit him with a paralysis Daemon that restricted his movement.

Naruto cocked his fist back and unleashed a barrage of strikes and hits. Minato took the barrage of hits and strikes and despite his experience and time as a mercenary blunting the pain he knew he would not be able to withstand the barrage of hits further.

The effects of the paralysis started to wear off to Minato's benefit as did not know how long he would be able to survive his son's barrage. He saw the strike heading towards and started to dodge and weave through the attacks. Eventually the feeling in his hands and legs started to return as well and he prepared to strike back.

Naruto knew he had to finish this quickly as his father started to regain control of his body again. He cocked his fist back and attempted to finish this but Minato moved to the side doding the incoming strike. Minato, using the opportunity of his son having overextended himself with that strike executed a leg sweep that caused Naruto to buckle over and fall onto the ground.

Minato quickly used the opportunity and tried to pin Naruto to the ground but faced some difficulties as his son attempted to block his attempts to pin him to the ground. The two executed a quick movement of wrestling techniques with Minato trying to pin Naruto while he did his best to guard the attempts.

Naruto, not wanting to lose so easily, used his free hand and grabbed the dagger attached to Minato's belt and struck, attempting to go for a deadly strike to the neck. Minato quickly moved out of the way of the strike which gave Naruto the opportunity he needed to get up off the floor. Minato grabbed another identical Dagger from his belt and the Father son duo restarted their fight.

"You did well" Minato said as both Father and son exited the training room.

"But you're still making a lot of rookie mistakes, overextended on your attacks, relying too much on your netrunning to bail you out and Depend too much on your cybernetics". Minato explained to his son.

"But you also overextended when you attacked, remember?" Naruto replied confused

"That's because i did that on purpose in order to show you the type of mistakes that can be exploited, it's good that you picked up on it and used it but you also need to learn to remove your own mistakes as well" Minato stated

"You also did well using your gun during our fight, it's good to use whatever tools you have at your disposal and your surroundings."

Naruto looked thoughtfully on what his father was telling him, he found it weird that he was being trained this much and this thoroughly, it's not like he was going to a Mercenary like his father, he simply wanted to live a normal peaceful life with his family and keep working on developing Kurama.

"Why am I being trained so much Dad, I enjoy it but why. It's not like i am gonna be a Mercenary like you" Naruto said

Minato put his hand on his son's shoulder and made Naruto face him, Naruto saw his Dad's face turn serious, he had only seen him have this face when he was talking about something serious.

"The world is a dangerous place Naruto and there are things out there that you need to be prepared to face." Minato stated seriously to his son.

Naruto grumbled before looking down, disappointed that he again hadn't been able to get a real answer again. Before he could think any further on it he felt himself encircled in a bone crushing hug.

"Naruto!" Ahri yelled, enveloping her adopted brother in a bone crushing hug and pressing her face into his chest. Naruto winced as he felt the pain from some of his lingering wounds from his fight with Minato emerge again.

"Ow ow Ahri my wounds still haven't healed fully" Naruto said trying to pull back from the hug to avoid the pain. Ahri let go of the hug and blushed in embarrassment.

"Sorry hahaha, I forgot I'm just excited about going to that amusement park today, you promised we would go" Ahri said, Naruto smiled back remembering the promise he had made to her a few days ago to take her to the Night City amusement park.

"Don't worry i haven't forgotten about that" Naruto said.

"Well anyway Mom's said breakfast is ready so better hurry up before she gets angry" Ahri said and started to walk away and head back towards the kitchen

Naruto's face turned pale at the thought remembering how angry his mother could get sometimes when he didn't listen to her straight away, he quickly hurried and followed behind Ahri catching up to her.

Naruto arrived in the kitchen to see that his mother had prepared breakfast. His eyes lit up in joy when he smelled the broth and meat and knew that his mother had prepared Ramen. He started to excitedly run over to the kitchen and hugged his mother from behind.

Kushina shouted out in surprise as she did not expect someone to surprise her like that. Kushina turned around and bonked Naruto on the head and shouted out in anger.

"Don't show up behind me like that Naruto" Kushina shouted.

"And here I am just trying to be a loving son" Naruto rubbed his head in pain and mumbled quietly. Kushina narrowed her eyes at Naruto causing him to quickly turn and sit down. Ahri giggled at the interaction between the Mother and Son before following behind Naruto and sat next to him.

Minato walked over to Kushina as Naruto and Ahri were talking to each other. With the children now distracted Minato could see that Kushina now had a worried expression on her face. The two walked out of the kitchen to avoid Naruto and Ahri from hearing their conversation.

"I'm worried Minato, Michiko has just told me that Father may be close to finding out about Naruto, if he discovers Naruto…." Kushina trailed off worriedly. Minato hugged his wife reassurance and started to ponder on what they could do in order to protect Naruto. While Saburo had allowed them to leave with their lives he did not know about Naruto at the time and would not stand to allow Naruto to remain alive as a threat to his Legacy.

If Naruto remained alive he could eventually if he wanted to reclaim what Kushina had left behind and Minato knew it would be a cold day in hell if Saburo would ever allow someone with foreign blood to inherit the throne to the Arasaka Corporate Empire .

He knew that if Saburo Learned about Naruto he would try to use whatever resource they had in order to find him and now with them taking in Ahri it left another innocent in the potential crossfire if Arasaka decided to come after them.

"We have to do something, Minato," Kushina said, snapping him out of his thoughts. Minato removed himself from his wife and paced back and forth for a few moments to decide what to do.

"I have an idea but it would be a bit of a risk," Minato said. Kushina gazed at her husband and her expression told him she was waiting on him to continue with his point.

"We can have Naruto and Ahri moved somewhere else in order for them to be more safe and away from Arasaka's eyes at least until they have grown up" Minato said

"But how are we going to explain that to them?" Kushina asked.

Minato smiled at his wife before continuing with his explanation.

"We can have them enrolled into school as a cover plus it would allow them to get a certified education and give them the opportunity to interact with people their own age" Minato said

"I originally thought moving to Night City would be better considering Arasaka hasn't had any considerable presence here since the Fourth Corporate War" Kushina said pondering on where else they could possibly move Naruto and Ahri in order to protect them.

"I have some contacts in Europe who have connections with top schools over there that may be able to help us with this," Minato said.

Kushina sighed nervously and hugged her husband in order to calm herself down, it would be best if they used Minato's connection as the contacts and links she had even after leaving Arasaka would leave too much of a risk of the Corp eventually finding her kids.

The two separated and nodded to each other agreeing that this would be the best solution in order to protect their kids. They made their way back to the kids as they did not want them suspecting anything. They arrived to see Naruto and Ahri still engaged in conversation with each other on what they would do at the amusement park they had planned to go to today.

The two teens noticed them returning but did not say anything about where their parents could have gone off too.

"I've made your favourite Ramen today" Kushina said as she sat down with Minato sitting next to her.

"Thanks Mom, i was hoping to have some Ramen today after the training i went through today" Naruto said,

"Hmm your spoiling him too much Mom he just had Ramen a few days ago" Ahri said playfully,

"You don't see me complaining whenever you want Barbeque" Naruto replied back,

"Yeah well at least i don't have it everyday, i can control myself" Ahri said smugly, Naruto simply grumbled and stuck his tongue out mockingly at Ahri before going back to eat his Ramen. Pretty soon the family had concluded their breakfast and headed to the amusement park that had recently opened in Night City.

Naruto and Ahri walked through the Park having broken off from their parents in order to have more fun and not be dragged around by the Adults. Naruto was pretty sure he saw relieved expressions on his parents when they had broken off from them.

He was feeling a little cooped up in the house and wanted to explore the world a bit more. He was also feeling quite suspicious as to why his parents were so adamant on him going through so much combat and self defence training.

No rational parent would teach their parents how to use various types of weapons and have then trained to use an entire arsenal of guns. He knew his parents weren't normal though clearly evidenced by the fact that his father was a highly trained mercenary and his mother seemed to have all sorts of connections within the corporate world.

He had tried to do as much research into his parents' past as possible as he was sure they were hiding things from but he hadn't been able to find much. It's almost as if someone or something had erased all possible information on his parents' past.

His thoughts were broken when he heard Ahri gasp next to him, she had an awed expression on her as she looked around the amusement park. He was glad to have come across on that fateful day and was happy that his parents had agreed to adopt her.

The past 6 years he had spent with her had been some of the most fun that he had, the less innocent side of his brain had also noticed that she had grown into a beautiful girl having developed a crush on her despite their new relationship after his parents had adopted her.

Ahri noticed Naruto's stare and blushed when she noticed him staring intently at her, Naruto quickly turned his head in embarrassment having been caught staring. Ahri coughed in order to get Naruto's attention again.

"So where do you wanna go first" Ahri said

"It's your choice after all you wanted to come here" Naruto said

Ahri squealed in excitement and grabbed Naruto's hand dragging the blonde across the various rides.

"Let's go to the Rollercoaster first" Ahri said

"Shouldn't we save that for last" Naruto replied

"I thought you said I could pick," Ahri said in an accusing tone.

"Alright Alright it was just a suggestion" Naruto said before being dragged by the Fox eared girl towards the large Roller Coaster located in the middle of the Park.

A Few Hours Later…..

The two had spent going through all the possible rides that they could go to in the amusement park and now found themselves seated at the top of one of the tallest buildings within the amusement park that housed a restaurant at the top. The pair were gazing over the visible skyline of Night City.

"Do you believe this place really is 'The City of Dreams'" Ahri asked.

"Well the view isn't too bad but i really don't know, Mom and Dad must have moved here for a reason but i am starting question if that was really cause this place is 'The City of Dreams' or if it was cause of something else" Naruto said pondering wondering why his parents had moved here, despite the cities slogan and all the marketing he was smart enough to know it wasn't the best place to live.

"What do you mean, you think they could have had a reason for moving here that they haven't told us about" Ahri asked.

"Yeah i think so, its weird that they have been training me so much"

"Even before you joined us they were training me" Naruto stated

"Whatever it is, I'm sure that they have a good reason and I'm sure they will tell us eventually," Ahri said.

"Naruto, I wanna thank you" Ahri said, her voice going quiet as she looked down. Naruto gazed over to his friend and adopted sister, seeing her holding back some tears but with a grateful expression on her face.

"What for? Come on, I know it's a great view but you don't have to cry now" Naruto said jokingly, trying to lighten the mood with Ahri. Ahri giggled at the blonde's attempt to try and cheer her up and it seemed to have worked.

"You know i'm not talking about Naruto, I wanna thank you for convincing your parents to take me in that day and for protecting me from those Scavs. You gave me something I can never repay you for" Ahri said with fresh tears streaking down her cheek. She lunged at the blonde and hugged him tightly with tears now flowing from her cheeks.

Naruto hugged her back tightly, her perfume hitting his senses and her body pressing against him tightly. Naruto blushed before forcing it down and started to comfort Ahri whispering sweet nothings to her.

"You don't have to be thankful for anything Ahri, before you I was alone and didn't have anybody my age, you gave me something I wanted as well, A Friend " Naruto said.

"Oh? I'm only a friend am i, i thought this was a date" Ahri said teasingly with the two having now separated. Naruto sputtered in embarrassment and shouted back

"Date?! I always knew you were a perverted fox girl wanting to date your own brother. Wait till Mom hears about this" Naruto stated pointing accusingly at Ahri,

"Adopted Brother, there's no blood relation" Ahri said giggling and winking at Naruto causing him to blush further.

"Sigh stopping messing around with me like that" Naruto said having calmed down having noticed she was only joking with him though a part of him was disappointed it was only a joke but he was not the only one as he missed the brief look of disappointment on Ahri's face with her fox ears briefly drooping in disappointment.

The two eventually returned to gazing back to the view of Night City and took in the view, Unbeknownst to them their lives were about to change.

Yo Guys Hope you enjoyed the chapter, I know this update has taken a bit of time but that was mainly due to this chapter having my first proper fight scene that i have ever written. I hope it was good and the updates should hopefully be a lot faster now. This chapter was originally gonna be longer with Naruto and Ahri going to school and Meeting Evelynn but that has been postponed for next chapter unfortunately as the fight scene took too long to write and I did not want to delay the update any longer.

Next Update should be Uzumaki of Azeroth, Be sure to check my other fics out.

Peace Out.
