A.N: Hey everyone, yeah it's a new story and not an update for my other stuff but this is something I've wanted to make for a very long time. I love the Jojo series and there is little to none in the Naruto crossover section and I thought I just might change that. I'd like to give thanks to all the bro's from Aizen's server that helped me. You guys are massive legends. Also if you'd like to join the server and chat with us and just hang here is the link /SzPZr3m7. Don't be weird or else you'll make me look bad. Before I forget Part 5 never happened. Giorno doesn't exist in this world. I guess that enough from me, please read and enjoy!
The dark skies foretold the incoming rain, the chilly winds harsh and unforgiving. A climate unsuitable for anyone, let alone a child.
Such a child was outside on this dreary day, playing with a ball.
He looked like any other child, however there was something about him that stood out. His eyes. Cold and nearly lifeless. It was as if he had lost a certain light that most children had, childish innocence and love for life.
If you were to look closely at the boy, you would see he was marked with bruises. Parts of his skin was a bright red, slowly turning a black purple.
It was clear that he just went through a harsh beating.
Suddenly the small child stiffened. Something instinctive told him of a new arrival, one that stood behind him and exuded a dominating presence. Turning around, he saw what could only be described as one of the largest men he'd ever laid eyes on. His body bulged with muscle, built in a manner that could only draw awe from the young boy. And yet, despite his strong appearance, the man retained a soft, Inhuman-like beauty, one that could enchant anyone, man or woman.
It was quiet as the two stared at one another, seemingly studying each other.
"What's your name, boy?"
"Naruto. Naruto Brando sir. Um, who are you?" He knew it was common sense not to give his name to strangers but he couldn't help but feel some sort of connection to the man as if he were meeting an old friend .
"Dio. Why are you out here?" Naruto struggled to answer. He wasn't sure what to say, his abusive step father wanted him out of the house and his mother didn't care. He chose to say nothing.
Unable to meet the man's powerful gaze, he looked back down at his ball, kicking it to a wall with a frown of frustration.
"..."
He felt those burning gold eyes pierce right through him, unnerving him and almost making him shiver in place. Finding some courage, he looked back up at the large stranger.
The man crouched down as he stared deep into the boy's amber-colored eyes, the very same eyes he shared with two people of his bloodline. Himself and his mother.
Dio couldn't help but grin. The boy was almost his spitting image if not for the features he'd inherited from the man's own mother, mainly his nose and the shape of his eyes. The only person Dio could say he had ever truly loved.
"I'll ask once more and don't make Dio repeat himself. Why are you out here?"
"I…My family threw me out. Said I was a nuisance…that I was useless!" A thin golden aura flared to life. It was faint and easy to miss for any normal person.
But Dio was far from normal.
Naruto was expecting the man to leave by now since most adults generally did not care about him or what happened to him.
"Ho? what do you plan to do about it boy?" The question surprised the boy, and he looked up at the man, unsure of how to answer.
"I...I don't know. I'm not strong enough" he admitted with what could only be described as shame and averted his eyes from the man's own.
Naruto suddenly felt the man tussle his blond locks, something that shocked him to the core. Both from the unexpected nature of the act, and the fact no one, not even his mother had ever touched him so affectionately.
"Oh? I don't think so. I can sense you have a great power just begging to come out. Once it does no one will be able to stand in your way" the man, Dio, said and when the younger blond looked up, he was gone, leaving no trace of his presence behind.
The boy's thoughts lingered on the stranger's words.
'I have… a power?' That revelation made Naruto's mind race, it also made him ponder on what happened. The man seemed to believe in him. In the minutes they had spoken, Dio had treated Naruto better than anyone ever had before.
Maybe he could be strong, maybe he didn't have to be scared anymore, maybe he could fight back.
If only to prove to the man, and himself, that he was right about him.
Naruto walked into his house, quiet as a mouse, and soaking wet from the rain.
He could hear the TV blaring in the other room, his mother was on the phone in the kitchen.
Walking into the living room, he blocked his step fathers view, causing the man to grumble. Growling out an aggressive "Move!"
Naruto didn't respond, he just continued to stare at the man but something about him was different. His eyes had changed. There was a fire, a fire that was slowly growing as the seconds ticked away.
"…"
Fed up with no response, he sat up from his recliner, trying to show some form of dominance over the child "Didn't you hear me boy?! I said move!"
"No…" it was said in a whisper but it carried so much weight. Shocking not just his step-father but Naruto himself.
"What?"
That fire that had built inside young Naruto finally burst, with a mighty bellow he yelled out "NO!"
Naruto's mother, Kushina, hung up the phone, rushing out of the kitchen to see her husband and son glaring at one another, before she could de-escalate the situation, Minato had gone to attack her son.
"You ungrateful little shit!" Just as his fist was going to strike Naruto, it stopped. To both Minato and Kushina it looked like nothing was there but to Naruto, a hand and an arm shout out of his body, shimmering with energy.
"W-What?! How...How are you doing this?!" The man crumbled, whimpering as his hand was crushed by seemingly nothing.
Crack!
Minato cried out in agony, his wrist bending in an unnatural angle.
Naruto's shoulders were shaking, hot tears stinging his eyes. All the repressed rage and hurt finally came out "I won't let you hit me anymore. I won't be useless!"
"K-Kid-"
But he was no longer listening, going through a sort of blood lust, he unleashes his power on his stepfather, repeatedly chanting as he does so "Useless, Useless, Useless, USELESS!"
Kushina barely managed to scream out a desperate "W-Wait!"
It was too little too late, Naruto's power burst forth, no longer was it just a part of an arm but a full body.
The spectral figure mercilessly beat Minato to a bloody pulp, shouting as it did so "MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!"
Dropping his abusive step-father in a heap, Naruto was left panting. Summoning his power and releasing all his pent up emotions took a lot out of the kid.
Kushina was mortified, staring at her son in horror, covering her mouth with her hands to try and stifle her gasps.
Somehow she managed to find her voice shouting at the tiny blond "Naruto! What did you do?!" Very quickly she lost what little power she had over her son, flinching when his amber coloured eyes locked onto her own "N-Naruto?"
"I hate you. You're useless. You're a bad mother" it was said with such venom, such truth that it almost physically hurt the mother.
"Naruto-" the wall next to her shattered, pieces of plaster and wood flying everywhere.
CRASH!
"Don't make me repeat myself! I'm leaving. I'm going to look for my father" Naruto walked past his frozen mother, snatching his bag and running out of his home.
By the time Kushina had regained some form of thought, she ran out the house. Screaming out her son's name in regret "Naruto?! NARUTO!"
Falling to her knees, the woman sobed in despair, unaware of who was watching.
Dio was grinning as he watched his boy leave his crying mother. To think he unlocked his stand so young.
The Vampire couldn't wait to see how Naruto would continue to grow.
(Ten Years Later)
It had been a long decade but it seemed to have been worth it, he was no longer that small scared child with no power.
Now he was a young man of seventeen years.
His hair shined like pure golden silk, set in an untidy look that seemed to suit him perfectly.
Seemingly inheriting his father supernatural like beauty, becoming very eye-catching himself.
Dressed in a dark orange corduroy jacket that was currently unbuttoned showing off a black long sleeved shirt, jeans and a pair of Timberland Black/Gold boots.
Protectively wrapped his neck was his most prized possession. A string necklace of a ladybug.
Currently he was fiddling with said necklace, a small smile on his lips.
Jolyne…
He hasn't seen her in a few months now. Maybe he should stop by for a visit? What's the worst that could happen?.
He shuddered as he saw her scowling face, cracking her knuckles. Glaring at him.
"Yare Yare dawa"
A little chuckle escaped his lips.
'That sounds like Jolyne…' with a groan he got up.
Leaving a nice tip for the small cafe. The coffee kept him warm and content on this chilly morning.
Naruto walked with his hands in his pockets, enjoying the peace and quiet that came with visiting a small town.
However he couldn't help but feel he was being watched. Looking over his shoulder, he didn't see anyone that was out of place, just the average townspeople going on about their daily lives.
With a dismissive grunt, he continued onward.
No longer in the town but a small out of the way clearing. Something that would take you a good half an hour to hike.
It was rather beautiful if he didn't say so himself.
A crystal clear stream, large trees thriving with life, unpolluted. It was a small bit of paradise in a large cruel world.
Naruto took a deep breath, the clean air was a gift to his lungs, exhaling quietly, tension seemed to leave the blond.
It would appear to the common observer he let his guard down, almost seeming like he was leaving himself vulnerable for an attack.
"I know you're here" the clearing quickly lost its luster. A certain tenseness destroyed the peaceful vibes.
Still Naruto got no response.
A blond brow twitched in annoyance, amber coloured eyes narrowed. No longer was he sitting around waiting, he was searching for something or rather someone.
Rustle!
'What the hell?' Naruto cautiously took a step forward, fists clenched in caution.
Hesitantly he continued to keep forward, his heart rate slowly started to rise.
As soon as he was only a few steps away, the rustling stopped. Naruto growled as felt like he was in a cliche horror movie. With a huff he took a step forward but that proved to be a mistake.
Pupils shrunk a fraction as a large bear burst from the bushes, roaring and hungry for blood.
"GOLD EXPERIENCE!" Naruto cried out the name of his stand.
In a shimmer of golden energy a humanoid figure appeared but it was certainly anything other than human.
It had a normal yet slender build along with an average height. The top of its head is similar to that of a typical helmet of a soldier, with curved markings close to the letter J coming down from the eyes on both sides.
Stylized wings on its shoulders and large ladybugs scattered over its body, mainly it's chest, hips, the back of its hands and ankles.
It's body was a beautiful shade of light gold, while it's armour was a darker shade, the accessories that littered its body were purple.
With a cry of 'Muda!' Gold Experience cracked the ground, filling it with its life-giving power.
A large tree burst forth from the ground, protecting Naruto. The bloodthirsty bear charged into the timber, disregarding its own health.
The force of it's attack rickeshad back on the poor animal, a furious roar of pain was released as it was sent tumbling back to the ground with tremendous force.
Unable to do much but lay there in pain, whimpers and moans escaping it's muzzle.
Naruto felt a mixture of sympathy and remorse for the beast. He knew this wasn't right, something was wrong with the bear and it wasn't natural.
"What a dull and useless creature" A man's voice drawled out, deep and filled with a type of arrogance.
"Did you do something to the bear?" The blond youth wasn't asking but demanding an answer. Something dangerous in his tone, as if warning what would happen if he didn't like the mysterious man's answer.
"Perhaps I did" Naruto's stalker was revealed. Wondering out from behind a tree, with a mad man's grin. The voice definitely matched his appearance, arrogant and smug.
A relatively handsome looking man, with his ink black hair slicked back. Dressed mainly in green and black, the stranger looked out of place in the woods.
His maddening grin grew, showing pearl white teeth "Allow me to introduce myself, I am the trickster Loki, hired to assassinate you!"
Naruto simply scoffed, narrowing his eyes at his stalker "Another assassin? Why do they even bother sending you guys."
"You don't seem that surprised…"
"I've been fighting guys like you since I was a child. All of them dead, you'll be no different" Green eyes narrowed at the info, instantly changing his battle strategy.
"Ahaha! We'll see" Naruto's eyes widened as Loki vanished in a swirl of green smoke. Instantly tensing as he looked around frantically. Waiting for any form of an attack.
Gold Experience shimmered to his master's side, protecting his blind spots.
Growl!
Naruto yelped as a massive black wolf nearly bit him in half, rolling into a crouch as he stared down the massive beast.
"The hell did that thing come from?!" Loki's demented laugh echoed through the clearing.
"Oh? Not a fan of my son? Ahahah! Then I'm worried how you'll react to my other child!" Goosebumps ran up the youth arm as he heard a spine chilling hiss.
Gold Experience was quick to protect his master, ready to intercept the murderous serpent.
Naruto's eyes widened in horror as the massive snake passed right through his stand. The murderous serpent struck with such force that it sent the teen flying.
Grunting as his body struck the harsh grounds below, leaving the stand user short of breath momentarily, wincing in discomfort at the aches and pains in his ribs.
Somehow he got his breathing under control, stifling a groan, he was back on his feet, Gold Experience once again by his side.
'What the hell was that?! He went right through Gold Experience. I thought the power of his stand was controlling animals but I guess it's something else' Naruto's eyes shifted between the two giant beasts 'There's something wrong here. These two…they're not normal. Something about them is off but what?'
The ravenous wolf charged at Naruto once more, lips pulled back in a snarl, it's drool leaking past it's parted muzzle.
With a cry of 'Muda!' Gold Experience threw a high kick, aiming for the wolf's bottom jaw but just like before it went right through.
Maw opened wide in vicious bellow, the voracious beast sunk its fangs into his body.
Naruto screamed in agony, being shaken back and forth like a piece of meat. Crying out as it started to sink in its fangs even deeper.
With quick thinking he struck the ground, creating another large tree.
It seemingly pierce through the wolf skull like a spear, while also wrapping Naruto in a cocoon of sorts, shielding and protecting him for the moment.
The wounded blond started to address his injuries. Wincing from the sharp burning pains. As he was bandaging himself up, he couldn't help but notice the wolf had halted.
"What's going on? Why isn't it attacking?!" Naruto whispered to himself, closing his eyes in thought. He started to think or at least tried to, struggling to figure out the picture with only a few pieces of the puzzle "I know for a fact that those animals aren't alive. I can't sense any life. No soul or nothing. It's almost like they're not even there. So why can I still feel them?!"
Naruto continued to think, biting his lip in concentration.
"Wait…I can sense something out there. The bear and that Loki bastard! But why not the wolf or the snake?" For a moment he continued to ponder until amber coloured eyes widened in disbelief "They're not real! They must be some sort of illusions"
"Oh so you've figured it out huh?" Loki's obnoxious laugh filled the air "I suppose since you went through all that trouble, I can reveal my stand power! Perfect Illusion!"
"Perfect Illusion?" Naruto repeated with a growl
"My stand allows me to create an illusion so real that it infects the five senses. Tricking that small brain of yours. Every wound was caused by the nerves in your body thinking it was real" Grunting in annoyance at his enemies words, the blond couldn't help but trace one of his bandages.
"Tch, crafty bastard. I gotta say that is a deadly ability" Naruto's eyes narrowed, developing a fierce smirk that would have made his father proud "But now I know how it works. Just means, I can kill you faster now"
Loki burst into laughter, even going as far to hold his sides "Kill me?! Ahahahaha! A mere mortal like yourself could never kill a god like me!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Naruto called out as he moved within the tree.
Loki taking the bait, started to rant. Coming off more insane with every word.
"Once I kill you, I'll get to join the ranks of the elites! The gods of this world! The followers of Dio!"
Naruto froze for a moment hearing the name of the man he met so long ago, deciding now wasn't the time to think of such things, he continued with his plan.
"…"
"I don't know why they want me to kill you and in all honesty, I don't really care. All I care about is my godhood! Now come out of there and die!" Loki madness was blinding, not just for
others but himself. He failed to see Naruto slip from the tree.
The so-called 'God' tensed when he heard the sound of a stick snapping. Deciding to be cautious, the assassin pulled out a dagger.
Twirling the blade around in his fingers, Loki slowly looked around the clearing.
Only for Gold Experience to surprise the assassin with a right hook.
"MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!"Loki screeched out, blow after devastating blow struck the deranged man on every part of his body.
The force of the blows seemingly kept him suspended in the air.
"MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!" Hundreds of hits landed in roughly seconds. To Loki it felt like an eternity. He saw every punch in slow motion, his body endowed with Gold Experience life energy.
"MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!" The 'God's' screams of pain died down to a whimper caught in his throat as he was still mercilessly beaten.
"MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!" Naruto's eyes glowed with a fierce power, his stand's onslaught would not relent. He was determined to break and destroy Loki.
"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Unknowingly his father's genetics kicked in, releasing a battle cry that was identical to the vampires.
"MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!" Blood splattered the forest floor, quickly the green that represented life was stained red.
"MUDA!" Gold Experience roared out, throwing a one last devastating punch that shattered the illusionist jaw.
The puny god was nothing but a broken, bloody swollen mess on the floor. Barely able to breath without exhaling in pain.
"H-How?" It was almost a miracle that he was still able to talk.
Through swollen eyes he glared up at the blond.
"I used Gold Experience to change my skin to that of a chameleon. Heh guess you could say your stand gave me inspiration" Naruto stared down at the broken man, chuckling as he started to walk away "Thanks for the info. I don't know what this followers of Dio wants with me but I'll take all of you bastards down"
Loki looking more pathetic by the second, spat out a large glob of blood "T-This *gasp* isn't over!"
"I think it is"
Growllll!
Loki's eyes widened as the very same bear he had enchanted and tricked towered over him, drooling with a deep hunger for vengeance.
"Get-Get away from me! N-No-!"
Unknowingly the entire interaction was being spectated by a single individual, hidden by shadow.
Watching impassively as Loki was mauled and killed by the bear.
"Sir, it looks like he won his fight. Loki has been disposed of"
"Very good, 'Death'. Make your way back, we have plenty to discuss"
"Right away sir"
Naruto groaned in his hotel room, Gold Experience was a miracle with its healing but the aches and pains would remain.
Unable to stop his sigh of relief as he pressed a can of coke against his temple.
"That fight was such a pain in the ass"
VVVBB! VVVBB!
Glancing down at his phone, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw he got a message.
{One new message from Ocean Man}
OM: Hey kid, I'll be heading to Jacksonville in two days. Meet me there.
OM: Jolyne said to call her soon.
{Message Seen}
Naruto sent a short reply, telling Jolyne's father he'd see him there.
Laying back on his bed, the tv made nothing but white noise. Scrolling through his phone, he stopped at photos.
One in particular caught his attention. It was of himself and Jolyne taken a few months ago.
She was seated on his lap, placing a gentle kiss on his whiskered cheek while he was smiling up at the phone.
Jolyne was beautiful. Definitely inheriting both her looks from her mother and father.
Going for a more punk look, she wears her hair in two "layers": A dark base including two large buns atop her head and a short length going down her neck; above which, lightly dyed or bleached, she keeps a plait or braid that winds around both buns, joining in a short length at back, and bangs that frame her face.
Wearing a top that left her shoulders and parts of her stomach bare, with a skirt, characterized by a spider web-like print.
She was just…perfect.
"Damn, feels like a lifetime since we met huh…"
Life for Naruto was very different from what it once was…he was free. The lad wasn't sure how long it's been since he last saw his mother but he definitely sure it's been a long time.
At first it was hard, adapting to his new life but at least he didn't have to do it alone.
As if sensing his thoughts, Gold Experience shimmered to life. Making the young boy smile.
Naruto bent his head down to the ground, looking and searching till he found what he was looking for. A small cracked pebble.
Gently he picked up the little rock, holding it between his fingers to admire for a moment. Blue eyes shined with happiness as the little pebble was surrounded by a golden aura.
Slowly it began to change.
Metamorphosing into a cocoon. It didn't take long for life to finally spring forth, out of the chrysalis burst forth a harmless yet beautiful butterfly.
Elegantly it flapped its wings, seemingly dancing in the wind.
Naruto looked over to his stand, grinning as he watched the gentle insect land on Gold Experience finger.
"How'd you do that?" Startled, the whiskered blond whirled around to see a girl roughly his age, eyeing him curiously.
"I um, I'm not too sure" The girl released a 'hum' as she seemed to be studying Naruto.
"Can you do other things or just butterflies?" Naruto sheepishly shrugged at the girl's question.
"I can make lots of things but the bigger the animal the longer it takes" her eyes lit up, rushing to the surprised blond, latching onto his arm tight.
"So you can make any animal!" Naruto managed to nod, scratching a whiskered cheek as he gave a look to Gold Experience.
"Well not just animals" sensing its master's thoughts, the stand gently placed its palm on the ground, sharing its energy. It didn't take long for new life to sprout.
An ordinary healthy flower.
Naruto gently plucked the bloom, admiring it for a moment. Blue eyes shined as he then held it out for her to take.
"I'm Naruto" with a gasp she took the flower from him, giving a shy smile.
"Jolyne" Naruto couldn't help but grin. He really liked her name.
The two were broken out of their comfortable silence by Jolyne's father.
A tall and imposing man, dressed mainly in white and wearing what Naruto would consider a cool hat.
"Jolyne it's time to g-" time seemed to slow down as Jolyne's father seemed to freeze. Eyes shaking in apprehension, his body tensed as if waiting for an attack.
'Jotaro~'
Naruto watched with fascination as the man was surrounded by a golden aura, followed by a very human-like figure floating behind him. Glaring down at the poor blond boy.
The stare down only lasted for a few seconds but it felt like a lifetime. Jolyne's father seemed to shake his head of these thoughts, his stand disappearing.
Gruffly he picked up his daughter, marching away while mutter under his breath "Come on Jolyne, we're going home"
Confused, the poor girl could only look back at Naruto, accidentally dropping her flower as she was carried away.
Meekly whispering a quiet "Bye…"
Naruto was once again all alone. Resting his chin on his arms.
However he couldn't help but smile when that same butterfly he brought to life rested on his nose.
He hoped he could see that girl again.
Jolyne….
BZZZZZZZT. BZZZZZZZZT.
Naruto groaned, cracking an eye open to glare at his phone. Sighing he reached over and snatched the device off his bedside table, surprising overtaking his features when he saw who the caller was.
"Hey" Jolyne's voice called out over the speaker.
"Hey…sorry I haven't called back. I've just been busy the last few days" Naruto explained, sitting on the edge of his bed.
Grimacing at the annoyed sigh, he received "I was worried, you know? I don't know what the point of getting you the phone if your not going to answer it"
"Yeah I know. I'm sorry" Naruto apologised scratching the back of his head nervously. Something he's always done, even when he was a kid.
"It's okay. I just…miss you" This caused the whiskered blond to smile, he could hear how embarrassed she was admitting that to him.
"I miss you too. I'll be heading over your way soon. I'll stay for a while"
"You promise?" Nearly melting at how hopeful she sounded, Naruto was quick to respond.
"I promise" he could almost feel her smile over the phone but it was quickly wiped away from her next question.
"Okay…Have you heard from my old man?" He couldn't help but wince from the question. Chewing the side of his cheek as he leaned forward.
"Yeah. He wants to meet up with me soon. Must be important"
"At least he's talking to one of us"
"Y-Yeah" Naruto coughed to break the new found tension. Knowing how sensitive this topic was for her, decided to move the call along. "I um, better go. Thirty minutes to check out of my room. I'll see you soon and I'll try to call more"
"*Sigh* Alright. See you soon. Don't get into too much trouble"
"I feel like I should be telling you that"
Beep!
Naruto sighed, dragging a hand down his face. He knew Jolyne had a touchy relationship with her father, didn't help the man who wanted to talk with him than he did his own daughter.
Deciding he needed a distraction for the moment, he looked down at his notepad. Eyeing the things he wrote down with a hard gaze.
[Who are the followers of Dio?
Who was the mysterious stranger watching my fight with Loki? Is he part of the followers of Dio or something else?
What do they want with me?]
Naruto hoped Jotaro would have the answers or at least could give him something but he couldn't help but feel like he was going to find out soon anyway.
"Sir! It's time to check out!"
The whiskered blond groaned in annoyance "Goddamn it"
(Two days Later)
Jacksonville was a fine city, maybe a little too loud and crowded for Naruto's liking but this is where Jotaro wanted to meet.
The buildings were tall and colourful, no trouble in standing out, same could be said about the people. It was a huge contrast to the small town he was in only days prior.
Looking down at his phone, squinting as he read {One new message from Ocean man}
OM: Meet me at the cafe near Old Baymeadows Rd'
{Message Seen}
Naruto tucked his phone in his coat pocket, walking down the fairly busy street with his guard up. The events over the past few days have been more than a good reason too.
The blond couldn't help but think back on what Jotaro told him years ago 'Stand users attract other stand users. Tch ain't that the truth. I really hope I can take a break soon'
His concentration momentarily broke as he stood in front of a modest looking Cafe. Filled with a small portion of people. Enough for Naruro and Jolyne to have a private conversation.
The little bell above the door jingled, the teen let his guard down as he stepped through the doorway. Steel blue eyes scoured over every nook, every cranny until he finally found the man that stood out like a sore thumb.
A demure looking hostess walked up to Naruto, cheeks gaining colour as she prepared to talk to the handsome young man.
"C-Can I help you sir?" Nearly going faint at the small smile she was gifted, holding her clipboard tight to her chest.
Blond spikes rustled as Naruto shook his head "No thank you. I'm just here to see a friend. He's over there"
Beaming at her customer, the hostess held her arm out in Jotaro direction "Of course sir. This way please"
With a simple nod of his head, the stand user quietly walked past the tables to the booth area. Stopping directly in front of Jolyne's father, the man gently placing his steaming cup of coffee on the saucer. Tilting his hat up a fraction as he acknowledged Naruto's presence.
"Looks like you made it" Whiskered cheeks pulled into a smile, it seems he was still as blunt as ever.
"Yeah looks like it" the teen couldn't help but notice how much Jotaro had changed since he last saw him. He saw one, maybe two wrinkles and his eyes looked tired but what really changed was the man's new outfit.
A dark overcoat replaced his previous white one, now a rich purple with gold lining at the top and the base of his collar, joining to run the length of the coat's opening. His collar bears two star pins seemingly referencing the birthmark all of those of Joestar blood had.
The sides of the shoulders bear large stars, beginning a light stripe reaching his cuffs (also bearing a star) that reads "JOJO", repeatedly.
Finally he wears a light under-shirt, printed at the chest with a large star. His shoes and pants are of a piece in a snakeskin texture. Along with a single leather belt, studded in two rows, folded behind itself after the buckle.
Naruto would be the first to admit it. The man had some serious drip.
Jotaro gestured with his head, Naruto catching the hint squeezed into the both. Sighing in comfort.
"How have you been, kid?" Scratching his whiskered cheek at the question, the blond couldn't help but answer with a simple shrug.
"Not too bad. Another hunter was sent after me but I took care of him" Jotaro's eyes narrowed, an intimidating aura surrounded the man, slightly scaring the other customers.
"Are you okay?" Naruto tried waving the man, with an easy going smile.
"Yeah I beat him" the older man's eyes narrowed. Giving the blond a glare that said 'Spill it or else.
"That's not what I'm asking" The youth sighed in annoyance, bravely meeting the fierce glare that had shattered lesser men, the blond confirmed he was fine.
"Yeah, I'm okay. A few scrapes here and there but I'm fine" Jotaro seemed to accept the answer, muscles untensing. Looking to his side the older man reached down towards his briefcase.
Click
Naruto reached across the table, taking the file out of Jotaro's hands. A single photo was inside with notes and papers.
"Stand Arrow…what is this?" Perfectly describing the picture in question. To the average joe it looked no different to any other arrow, besides missing its bow but this arrow was special.
With the head being majorly golden with traces of silver on the edges and strangely enough a beetle figure was infused into it.
"That is how stands are created" Naruto raised a brow in confusion. Closing the file and handing it back to Jotaro.
"What? But I was never hit by an arrow. How do I have Gold Experience if that thing creates them?" The older man tapped his finger against the table, eyes lost in thought.
"It comes from your father. Someone struck with the arrow can pass it down their bloodline. There's been several cases of this happening and I can only assume the same happened to you" Naruto sighed. It always went back to his father.
"So what's so special about this arrow? From what I saw there was a bunch of em'" Jotaro stopped his finger tapping, giving his full attention to the whiskered blond.
"This Stand Arrow is…unique. It's power is unmatched by its predecessor simply because of the fact it can upgrade a stand" Blue eyes bulged in shock, leaning forward in his excitement.
Naruto couldn't help but whisper/shout "Are you serious?! Upgrade a stand? Is that even possible?"
Jotaro shrugged in response "There's been no cases that we know of but for all we can guess, yes it's possible"
"So where is it?" Naruto asked as he leaned back in his seat.
Jotaro traced his fingers over the bridge of his hat, answering the youths' question "We don't know. At the moment the Speedwagon foundation is working on it. As soon as we find out we'll ship you out to go find it and bring it back"
Naruto grimaced at that, remembering his recent promise to his girlfriend "How long will that be? Cause I um kind of promised Jolyne, I'd be home with her for a while"
Jotaro cracked a smile as he packed the file away "Relax kid. They haven't found the arrow in years, I'm just giving you a heads up just in case. You probably won't be sent out to find this thing anytime soon"
"Right" Naruto sighed in relief "I guess it's my turn to share huh? The Hunter that went after me this time was called Loki"
Jotaro couldn't help but scoff once he heard the name "Named after the Norse God? Sounds arrogant"
Naruto grinned at his girlfriend's father "Tell me about it" Blue eyes seemingly shifted. Loosing their playful glint "During the fight, he mentioned something about Followers of Dio"
"Dio…" Jotaro's knuckles popped and cracked at the sound of the vampire's name. After taking a moment to calm down, the older stand user nodded at Naruto to continue.
"I can't be sure but I can only assume that the followers of Dio are the ones that have been sending those bounty hunters after me"
"Anything else?"
"Someone was watching the fight. I don't know if they apart of the same group or something else"
"I'll see what I can find out. For the moment stay vigilant and be careful"
"Likewise old timer"
"Yare yare daze…"
VVVBBB! VVVBBB!
Naruto looked down at his phone with a frown, raising a brow at the unknown number. Glancing at Jotaro, the older man gave him the 'go ahead' to answer it.
"You are receiving a collect call from the Florida State Volusia County Correctional Facility. To answer this call we will have to charge you Twenty Five cents. Is that okay?" Naruto frowned in annoyance, grunting out a gruff yes.
"One moment please"
"Hello?"
"Hey…"
"Jolyne?! What's going on? Are you okay?!"
"Naruto, I need help. I'm…I'm in jail" Naruto nearly crushed his phone in shock.
"Are you alright?"
"I…" He hated how vulnerable and scared she sounded. Wanting nothing more than to be there with her.
"Everything is going to be okay. I'm on my way!"
"Okay…"
Beep!
Only a single word could perfectly describe how both Naruto and Jotaro felt at that moment.
"Shit"

Stand Powers: Life Giver [Gold Experience can generate a seemingly endless amount of life energy and endow that life energy into anything its fists touch. This ability translates into a variety of different effect]
Life shot [Gold Experience can infuse life energy into an already living target. In this case, the influx of life energy causes their thought processes to greatly accelerate.
