Where did it all go so wrong? They were so close…thoughts such as these, seemingly stuck on replay, refusing to leave the whiskered blonds troubled mind.

Ever since Naruto and Jolyne had willingly given themselves up, he couldn't help but wonder if they had made a mistake.

The amber-eyed teen could only be thankful that he was sent to Green Dolphin Street Prison, acquiring five years while his dual-haired girlfriend got another five also to her fifteen-year sentence.

"Hey, Naruto…" Amber-coloured eyes glanced over to the left of his bunk, his snowy white hair was quite unmissable, held together in a single messy bun. "I'm going down to get a bite to eat. You wanna come?"

Naruto groaned, scratching the back of his head with a sigh. His new roommate, Damion Ghostmane, was not like he expected. He was…just a regular guy. Polite but not a pushover.

"Nah, I'm good, Damion. You go on" His fellow teen nodded, waving over his shoulder as he left the whiskered blond to his thoughts.

He didn't remain in his cell, feeling the need to stretch his legs becoming too strong. Naruto wandered as far as he was allowed, staying out of his fellow prisoners' way, and they stayed out of his. He wasn't sure when he had arrived at the library, but when he did, he wasn't surprised to find not a single soul in sight.

Or so one would think if they were anyone else but Naruto Brando. With his life-sensing power, he was able to find a spot with no camera activity. A lone wall was surrounded by two bookcases and a motivational poster that seemed to have the opposite effect.

Fly free.

God, that's depressing.

The whiskered blond couldn't help but level a deadpan stare, raising his hand and racking his knuckles against the wall.

Knock, Knock

Naruto didn't have to wait long as the wall split open with the poster remaining intact. First came a small hand, then a Chicago cubs hat.

It was the child, the little lad who had warned Jolyne and done his best to help the two lovers stay in contact.

Naruto gave a brotherly smile, helping the kid crawl through by holding up the piece of wall. "Hey, Emporio. You got anything for me?"

Emporio reached down into his left pocket, scrunching up his face as he searched for the letter Jolyne wrote for him.

Naruto smiled gratefully as he accepted the letter, ruffling the lad's curly blond locks as he rested against the wall, sliding down till he was sitting comfortably.

Emporio followed his lead, his signature baseball resting in his lap. "I didn't read it, by the way."

Naruto chuckled, glancing over to his little friend, lips curling in amusement. "I know, little man."

[They've finally released me from solitary confinement. Now that I'm out, I'll try and find some new information about those DISC'S. I miss you and hope to see you soon.

Jolyne, xoxo]

Naruto carefully tucked away the letter, thanking the blond boy with a grin. "Thank you for bringing me this, Emporio."

The little Chicago Cubs fan couldn't help but smile, fiddling with the cap as he glanced up at the older teen. "Anytime," his golden eyes lit up in remembrance, "Oh, Jolyne wanted me to ask if you've been eating?"

Naruto hesitated to answer, giving a shaky smile as he waved his hand back and forth. "I'm not that hungry, little man."

"Jolyne thought you might say that, so she told me to tell you, 'If you don't find something to eat soon, she'll cross the women's prison and kick your ass and then make you eat something'" The whiskered blond stared down at the child with a dropped jaw. However, his shock quickly turned to amusement as he started to chuckle.

"She said that?" Emporio nodded as he watched the amber-eyed teen stand up, dusting his hands with a grunt. "Alright. Guess I better get something before the dining room closes. I'll see you tonight? We still have to finish the last few chapters of Harry Potter, right?"

"Yeah"

"Good," Naruto tousled his hair with a smile. "I'll see you later. Stay safe, kid."

Emporio watched his fellow blond leave the library with a frown. Adjusting his cap, the little lad crawled through the hole in the wall and made his way back to his little hideout. Looking forward to spending more time with the amber-eyed teen later.

(Dining Room)

It was rather easy for Naruto to spot Damion. His winter-coloured hair made him stand out like a sore thumb.

The whitte noticed him coming from the corner of his eye, waving the blond over with, "Looks like you decided to come down after all."

The amber-eyed blond chuckled as he sat next to his cellmate, looking surprised as the winger-haired youth offered him an apple. With a nod of gratitude, Naruto took the fruit with a quiet "Thanks."

The whiskered teen couldn't help but notice the odd looks he was getting from his fellow prisoners. "Hey, Damion."

"Yeah?" Naruto gestured with his head to the inmates littered around the room, brow raised in confusion.

"I understand I'm the new guy, and quite frankly, I've been expecting to get jumped for a while now, but it hasn't happened. Why is that?" Damion stopped mid-bite, staring at the whiskered blond like he had grown two heads.

"You don't know?"

"Know what?" Naruto asked, taking a bite out of his apple with a frown.

Damion chuckled as he started to explain, "You've already gained a huge amount of cred and respect from a lot of the guys here."

"What? How?!" The blond teen's amber-coloured eyes went wide in surprise but also shone deeply in confusion.

"Dude, you broke into a prison to get your girl out, and when you guys got caught, you decided to stay with her. That's ballsy and shows a great deal of loyalty. People in here respect that." At the snowy-haired youth explanation, Naruto finally understood that the strange looks weren't one of malice or cruel internet but respect. "Also, does your girl a huge favour, you gaining credit gets her credit and vice versa."

"Huh…" The blond was left sort of stunned momentarily. Yet he couldn't help but feel grateful. That was one less problem to deal with.

"Naruto…is that you?"

Or so he would have thought.

Minato Namikaze, Naruto's Ex-Stepfather, was standing right before him. In an act of instinct, Gold Experience was floating behind the whiskered blond, glaring at the older man, its knuckles popping from the tightening building in its fist.

It seemed no one could see Naruto's stand. No one but Damion, that is.

"Minato…what the hell are you doing here?" Minato looked calm as he stood before his Ex-Stepson, yet he seemed to reek of great regret and shame.

"It's been a long time, huh? You've grown so much." it was obvious his attempts at lighting the mood were failing. He knew he was probably the last person on earth who Naruto wanted to see. "May I sit? I won't take up much of your time. I just wish to say a few things, and then I'll leave"

The whiskered blond's hand clenched tight, a large part of him wanted to do what he did years ago, beat the man into a broken, bloody mess, but he reframed, he'll listen to what he has to say, and then he'll never see the bastard again.

Naruto nodded for Minato to continue, but he kept his eye on the man, ready to do what he must if he had to.

The stand user's Ex-Stepfather cleared his throat. "First things first, I am sorry for what I did to you and your mother."

Naruto frowned in confusion, his mother? He hadn't thought about the woman in years. "What do you mean? I don't ever remember you doing anything to her"

"You were so young, and I'd be surprised if you remembered everything perfectly" Minato's eyes seemed to gain a sort of haze. His hand reached up to soothingly run his thumb up and down his cross. "I was terrible to you and your mother. I want to be clear. I don't want you to forgive me for what I did, and I don't deserve it."

"…"

"When I met your mother, she was young. All she had was you. Her family was very traditional, and when they found out she had a child out of wedlock…" Naruto looked stunned at this new information. His grandparents really threw his mother out on the streets? All alone?.

"They just threw her out?" The ex-soldier nodded reluctantly, a frown marrying his face.

"They did. I had just come back home from the service, I walked into this diner, and I saw this beautiful girl with such gorgeous red hair, feeding this small boy" Minato lightly laughs to himself, his eyes glazing over in remembrance. "I sat in the booth across, and we made eye contact, then we talked, and then the next thing I know, we're all eating dinner together."

"And then what? some time passed, and you guys got married?" Naruto asked, his finger lightly tapping against the table in a rhythmic manner.

Minato nodded, gaining a look of nostalgia as he started to remember the better times. "Everything moved very quickly. Your mother was sweet and an amazing woman. You were a good kid. Those were good days…"

"Minato?"

"Sorry, the uh memories…" Naruto and Damion glanced at one another, then back to the older blond man. "Anyway, things were fine for a while, but I…I never really returned home. Everything I did, everything I saw, it affected me. It came back with me." Minato brought a shaking hand up to his temple, softly tapping it with his pointer. "It was so dark up here… but I found salvation. I found help. Father Enrico Pucci, he cured me, made it all stop. The voices. nightmares, the memories, it finally went quiet."

"I uh, I'm sorry that happened to you" The older blond lightly waved his hand, stopping Naruto.

"You don't need to do that for me, Naruto. This is my apology to you. I'm glad that you survived. Your mother would be happy to know you're okay."

Naruto's brow twitched at the mention of his mother, the rhythmic tapping of his finger stopped. "What happened to her?"

"I don't know," Minato sighed, rubbing at his sunken eyes. "After what happened, your mother called me an ambulance, but after that, I never saw her again. I did see a lawyer for some divorce papers, and he mentioned she was looking for you."

Naruto hid his mouth behind his hands, stopping anyone from reading his expression. "I see…"

The silence was loud, practically deafening. Minato took this as his cue to leave. While bowing his head in apology, he said, "I better leave. It was nice seeing you again, Naruto. sorry for everything."

Damion watched him leave before turning to face his cellmate. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, just trying to figure out how to process all this," Naruto muttered,

Running a hand through his mess of blond spikes, amber-coloured eyes murky and uncertain, "I'll see you back in the cell."

The winter hair teen watched his cellmate leave with a frown.

Naruto himself felt torn. Things he thought he remembered weren't as clear as he remembered. People he thought he had figured out were more than it seemed.

"Jotaro…what do I do here?" The whiskered blond muttered out loud as he walked back to his cell in a daze.

(Naruto's Cell)

Naruto sighed as he rested his weary head on his soft but cheap pillow, an amber-coloured eye staring blankly at the pale wall.

However, something caught the bored blond's attention. Strange markings were carved in the wall.

If he had to guess, they were Nordic, possibly Scandinavian. Yet the largest engraving of them all stood out the most.

It was a single name.

Löki.

Naruto traced each letter with frowned brows. Something about this name was familiar, but Why?.

That's when it hit him.

He started to remember the assassin that was hired to kill him in the woods before this whole mess with Johngalli A.

"No fucking way…" Naruto whispered as he sat up in his bed.

To his luck, Damion just walked into the cell with a yawn, scratching his snowy white hair with his thin fingers. The tall inmate crawled into his bed, sighing as he started to doze off.

"Hey, Damion?" A soft sigh was heard as the whiskered blond called out to his cellmate.

"Yeah?" Damian asked as he poked his head from under the bunk.

"Did you ever know a guy by the name Loki? There's a bunch of symbols and a name carved up here" The winter-haired teen closed his eyes in thought, humming to himself before his eyes lit up in remembrance.

"Oh, that guy? Yeah, I knew him. His real name was Tomston Hiddle. An odd guy, he was knocked in the head one day and started calling himself Loki, saying he was a Norse god. Total nut job. It's still a mystery to anyone on how he got an early release." Naruto narrowed his eyes at the new information.

"He got an early release?" Damian confirmed the whiskered blond's question with a lazy nod, crawling back under the bunk.

"Yeah, a couple of months ago, not too long before you showed up to bust your girl out."

Naruto made sure to save that information for later. It seems like the ones who were targeting Jolyne and Jotaro was also targeting him. Even worse, they were still here in the prison.

'Who are you?…' The whiskered blond wondered to himself, closing his eyes in thought.

---

It was spring.

Skies were blue, and the trees were full, bountiful of life. The grass was green, freshly mowed.

It was a lovely day for a family outing.

A very young Naruto Brando was running along the fields giggling and laughing as his mother 'chased' after him, a large smile of her own.

"I'm gonna get you!"

"You can't catch me, Mama!" Naruto laughed as he dashed away from the smiling redhead, hiding behind a tree with his tiny hands covering his mouth, failing to contain his giggles.

"Now, where did my little man go? Hmmm," Kushina cupped her chin with her delicate fingers, eyes seemingly closed in thought.

The whiskered blond waited as his mother got closer, grinning as she looked near a bush, behind a large rock, sighing in exasperation when she couldn't find him.

"Oh, Naruto~" the redheaded beauty called out, edging ever closer to Naruto's hiding spot. "Where are you, my little man?"

Kushina started to circle the large tree, probably the tallest of them all, only to find her little bundle wasn't there. Before the young mother could panic, the amber-eyed youth jumped out, surprising the violet-eyed beauty.

"Rah!" Naruto grinned as he watched his mom gasp in fake shock. "Did I scare you, Mama?"

"Oh honey, I was scared beyond belief!" The whiskered blond ran into her awaiting arms, smiling in content as she picked him up.

Naruto kissed his mother's cheek before resting his head in the crook of her neck. "Don't be scared. I'll always protect you."

"My little hero…" Kushina whispered as she carried her baby boy back to their little picnic blanket, laying him down so they both could stare at the clouds.

Naruto turned so he could look at his mother, her eyes were closed and she had a soft smile on her lips. The amber-eyed youth couldn't help but admire his mother. She was so pretty…

Kushina slowly turned to face her son, slowly opening her eyes to see him staring at her, he was resting his chin on his hands, but the mother felt her eyes well up as his smile.

"Hello, sweetheart…" Gently she stroked his whiskered cheek, lip trembling as he nuzzled into her palm. "I love you, Naruto."

"I love you too." Naruto said softly as he got into a more comfortable position, resting his head against his mother's slim stomach.

Kushina softly ran her fingers through her son's hair. She truly wished they could stay like this forever….

(Two Years Later)

Naruto waved goodbye to the other kids from school, rushing to his waiting mother. The tired woman braced herself as small arms wrapped around her waist, a bright smile greeted her "Hey Mama!"

Kushina gently rubbed the back of her son's head. "Did you have a good day?"

"Yep!" Naruto held his mother's hand tightly, telling her all about his day as the two waited at a bus stop, waiting for their ride home.

They didn't have to wait long. They were fortunate that there were hardly any people on, giving them plenty of room.

Naruto was staring at the window, bored until something had managed to catch the little blond's attention. He turned to show his mother but stopped when he saw she was softly sleeping.

That's when he started to notice things he hadn't before. She was tired, very tired. Large circles rested under her eyes, her skin was paler than it's ever been, and she looked smaller as if she hadn't been eating.

Naruto frowned before curling into his mother's side. He would wake her up when they got to their last stop.

The bus bumped and shook as it stopped at every stop. Slowly, it dwindled till it was just mother and Son.

"Last stop!" Naruto heard the driver shout. Gently, he shook his mother awake.

"We're home, Mama." Kushina thanked Naruto before taking his hand, walking him back to their apartment.

It was only a couple of minutes in the elevator before they were on their floor, the wood creaking with every step until they stopped at their worn door. The door's numbers were barely hanging on.

Kushina tried to unlock the door, but it wouldn't budge. She tried again, but it refused to open. The redhead looked up to see a piece of paper taped to her door.

It was an eviction notice.

Naruto watched with a confused frown as his mother started to cry. He hated nothing more in the world than seeing her upset.

Gently he hugged his sobbing mother, feeling his own eyes tear up as she pulled him into a tight hug. "Is everything going to be okay, Mama?"

"It's going to be fine, baby. It's going to be all fine," Kushina promised, her words filled with confidence, but her eyes seemed to be dwindling on hope. She picked herself off the floor and gently took Naruto's hand. "Let's get something to eat. Would you like to eat at Mama's work?"

"Of course! I love the diner!" The two left their apartment, unaware of how drastically their life was going to change.

---

Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

Naruto sat up on his bed, the alarm on his watch continued to beep. He brought a shaking hand to his face, softly rubbing at his tired eyes.

That dream…

'I'll think about that later. I gotta keep my promise to Emporio,' The whiskered blond promised himself as he softly got off his bunk, being careful not to wake his cellmate.

Using the power of Gold Experience, he structured his body to be similar to a jellyfish, easily slipping past the bars. He quietly started to walk down the hall, ready to blend in with his surroundings like when he fought Loki.

It was child's play for him to slip into the library and head towards the spot he spoke to his fellow blond earlier.

Naruto made himself comfortable before knocking on the wall twice.

Emporio knocked back before crawling out, holding the book 'Prisoner of Azkaban' under his arm. "You made it"

Naruto grinned as he ruffled his cap-covered head. "I told you, I would." Softly he took the book, flicking through the pages. "Alright, so where were we?"

"Here."

"Here? Alright," The whiskered blond started to read for Emporio, smiling as the Cubs fan leaned into his side.

The two read about the orphaned wizard and the trials of his third year at his wizard school.

Naruto must've read three whole chapters before he noticed Emporio was dozing off.

"Hey, we'll read some more tomorrow. You need some sleep."

"*Sigh* okay. Good night, Naruto."

"Night, kid. Oh shit, Emporio, before I forget," Naruto reached into his pocket, pulling out a letter of his own "Could you give this to Jolyne for me when you see her next?"

The whiskered blond grinned at Emporio's nod, thanking him as he scurried away through his little hole, leaving the amber-eyed teen on his own.

He found himself reluctant to go back to bed, he wasn't tired he tried to tell himself, but he knew it was because he was worried about what he would see when he finally shut his tired eyes.

(The Next Day)

"-I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady, All you other Slim Shadys, are just imitating, So won't the real Slim Shady, please stand up, Please stand up, please stand up"

Naruto whistled along with the beat on his radio that he…'acquired' from another prisoner that tried to intimidate the whiskered blond. Unfortunately, he learned the hard way, but the amber-eyed teen was sure a few weeks in recovery would help him learn.

"Oi Brando," A guard called out, tapping his knuckles against the bar. "Come place your hands in the slot and wait until the cuffs are secured."

Naruto raised a brow but still followed the man's orders, allowing his wrists to be shackled. The door to his cell buzzed before sliding open, allowing the amber-eyed teen to step out. "Where am I going?"

"The prison's Priest has been wanting to meet you, but he's been busy these past few weeks. Lucky for him, he's got an opening and would like to see you now." The whiskered blond raised his brow in confusion.

"Why does he wanna see me?"

"It's a sort of program release type thing. If you ever want to get an early release or some privileges, he's the man you ask" Naruto accepted the guard's answer, but it also left him wondering was this priest the reason Loki was released? If so, why?.

He needed to find out.

Midway through his walk, Naruto noticed something that had his fellow prisoners chattering up a storm, looking over the railing, he saw that the prison had acquired two new inmates.

They were sitting in the far corner, the one with silver hair had his hands clasped in front of his face, there were glints of silver glistening between the gaps of his fingers, a necklace perhaps?.

His tanned friend looked like he had been in a bad accident, or that's what Naruto could assume from his head wrap that covered everything but his eyes and ears. Bandages covered his entire arm bar his hands.

As if they could sense the amber-eyed blond's powerful gaze, they looked up. Locking eyes with him from across the large room.

The silver-haired one started to grin, red eyes shining with bloodlust directed at him but his partner stared at him like a hunter that's finally found his target and is now waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

"Keep moving, inmates!" Naruto broke eye contact, a sinking feeling growing in his stomach. It would seem trouble found him once again.

---

It took them roughly fifteen minutes to cut across the prison to where this priest was. Naruto was surprised at how much nicer this section of the prison was compared to the rest of the place, yet he shouldn't be surprised.

The guard behind him moved forward and gave three strong knocks. They both waited for a response.

"Come in"

Slowly the door opened, and Naruto was greeted to the sight of a well-furnished office, books littered the walls, degrees from elite schools, colleges, and photos of family hung on the wall, as well as a large cross.

The priest walked forward, revealing himself to the whiskered blond for the first time. He was a dark-skinned man of average to above-average height, but he didn't have a lot of muscle.

His appearance was…unique, to put it mildly, but then again, Naruto shouldn't be surprised. Seeing as he has met nothing but strange individuals since his preteens.

The Priest has very short white hair with shaved lines forming two elongated hexagons of hair between his scalp and his temples, each joining the corresponding eyebrow with a zig-zagging strand of hair. As well as thin sideburns, spreading at the edge of the middle of his jaw.

"Naruto Brando…I've been waiting a long time to meet you." Naruto was shocked by the warm welcome. The man seemed practically elated to see the whiskered blond. His soft brown-coloured eyes shone with a certain type of affection one might show a family member. "Please remove his cuffs. We won't be needing those"

The guard looked concerned as he glanced over back to the Priest. "Are you sure, Father Pucci?"

Pucci smiled as he gestured to Naruto. "I'm sure our young friend won't be causing any trouble, and you're just outside."

The man grunted before removing the blond's cuffs and leaving the two all alone.

Naruto looked back to see Priest watching him with a pleasant smile. "It's uh, it's nice to meet you, Father."

"The pleasure is all mine. Please sit. We have much to discuss." The amber-eyed blond bowed his head in thanks as he took a seat in a surprisingly comfortable chair.

Naruto sighed in comfort, yet he picked up the sound of faint whistling coming from a kettle.

"Looks like the tea is ready. Would you like a cup?" The whiskered blond briefly thought about rejecting Pucci's offer but decided it was best to be polite and accept.

"That would be nice, thank you." Naruto didn't have to wait long before he had a cup of steaming tea placed in front of him. The priest had retaken his spot behind his desk, softly blowing on his own cup.

"It's no problem at all, Naruto. I'm sorry it's taken us this long to meet."

"I'm kind of curious about that. Not to be rude, but why do you want to meet someone like me?" The whiskered blond asked as he gave a small quick sip of delicious tea.

Pucci looked amused as he gently set his cup down. "Ah yes, well, I have an interesting role in this prison. I like to sit down with each inmate and discuss a bit about their life, who they are, and what led them here. I wish to understand and help them. If I can make a difference here, then perhaps they will find salvation in the afterlife."

Naruto was taken aback by the man's passion for his work, his strength in his faith, and his belief that he could help people.

"Wow, that's really admirable, Father."

"Think nothing of it, my son. It's simply what I was put on this world to do." Pucci gently opened a drawer, pulling out a pen and a piece of paper. "If it is quite alright with you, Naruto. I'd like to talk with you about your life. You don't have to spare too much personal information."

"No, it's fine. I'm not exactly ashamed of my past," The amber-eyed teen explained, but he couldn't lie. Meeting Minato had put a few things into perspective. "I never knew my father. I've only heard about him from other people. He wasn't exactly a good man."

"The sins of the father, don't fall onto the son. Whatever your father's past may be, that was his life, his decisions, not yours." Naruto looked thankful for Pucci's words, faintly smiling as he took another sip of his tea.

"I was with my mother most of my life, I never met my grandparents or any other family, but recently I just found out they didn't want my mother or me anyway." the whiskered blond frowned at his own words, feeling sour at the mention of his relatives. "My mother was working hard to keep a roof over both of us. We lived in this crummy little apartment, but it was just us. We were happy."

"Were? What happened?"

Naruto sighed as he leaned back in his seat, gazing out the window to see a breathtaking sunset. "We got evicted, thrown to the streets. I didn't understand the situation at the time. I was just a kid. I remembered she took me to where she worked. It wasn't too long before the man that would become my stepfather entered, and we had dinner together."

"Minato Namikaze, yes, I'm quite familiar with him. He's come a long way," Pucci explained, showing a fondness for his fellow follower of the lord.

"You know everything?" Naruto asked, glancing away from the window back to the Priest.

"I do, I know of all his faults, of all his past sins. To this very day, he is working to redeem himself for everything he's done. I take it you two finally met after a long time?" The amber-eyed blond nodded at Pucci's question.

"Yeah…"

"What did you feel?" Naruto frowned his brows thoughtfully at his question. How did he feel?.

"Pretty Angry, a bit sympathetic and really confused *sigh*, I don't know." Pucci looked sympathetic himself, softly offering his condolences.

"This is a lot for someone so young, but there must have been good times. Do you remember any?" Naruto lightly chuckled at the questions. He scratched his cheek, faintly smiling as a certain memory came to the surface.

"Yeah, I do. It was me and my Mom. We were having a picnic. I'll be completely honest with you…I forgot I even had that memory." The amber-eyed teen sighed, slumping in his chair. "Why do I feel like this? I'm furious for everything she did, and at times, I want to rip her apart but lately…"

"We can't help who we love. What you feel is very common. Many times we find ourselves hurt by a loved one, and whether we like it or not, some of that love stays. You shouldn't be ashamed of what you feel but be mindful of it."

"Damn," Naruto laughed, leaning back in his chair as he grinned over to the smiling priest. "You're good."

Pucci himself couldn't help but chuckle. "Many years of practice, my child," The snowy-haired man reached down into his draws once more, but this time he pulled out a file. "Not to rush you, but I was hoping to ask about your more recent life. The reason you are here, Jolyne Cujoh."

"You're uh talking about me trying to bust my girlfriend out?"

"Yes. You must love her dearly to attempt something like that, even staying behind so you could be with her. It seems like something one would only hear in a fantasy" Naruto scratched the back of his head with a faint smile.

"Well, you're not wrong. I love Jolyne very much. I would do anything for her." Pucci gave a fond smile as he glanced out the window, his eyes clouding with memories.

"Yes, I understand that quite well. When you love someone, you would do anything and everything for them. Move heaven, hell, and earth for them, if they so asked."

"You sound like you're speaking from experience."

Pucci laughed as he glanced back at Naruto. "That was a long time ago. Now my love is strictly for the lord and all of his disciples."

"Was that all you needed, father?"

"I only need you for a moment more than you may return to your cell."

"What do you need?" Naruto asked as he finished whatever remained of his tea.

"As you know, we give special privileges to those that deserve it. How would you feel about working? We offer an abundance of choices," Pucci said as he started to list down the different jobs the whiskered blond could do. "We could have you as a cook, maintenance, or perhaps you'd feel more comfortable with books?"

"Would I be able to work in files?"

"Files? Hm, that's on the women's side of the prison" Pucci shook his head as he seemingly caught the reason why the teen wanted to work in files. "Hoping to run into your girlfriend, are you?"

"You got me," Naruto answered with a shrug and a chuckle, keeping the real reason he wanted to go to himself.

"I'll see what I can do. You may go now, my child. May God be with you." The whiskered blond thanked the priest, allowing himself to be cuffed and escorted out the room, leaving the thinking Priest all to himself.

"Naruto Brando…you certainly are your father's son."

---

Jolyne was elated when she got her boyfriend's note. Obviously, she missed him dearly, and with being on two different sides of a prison, it was hard to meet, but at the same time, she wished he picked a better spot.

Traveling through the dark and low-hanging pipes wasn't exactly her idea of a good time, and it was kind of a pain in the ass, but at the same time, it would only be the two of them.

Giving the two teens complete privacy.

Soon the pipes cleared to a hall with a single door. Opening it, she found Naruto waiting in the hidden room, staring out the window with a thoughtful look.

Jolyne smiled as she leaned against the doorway, taking a moment to gaze upon her boyfriend. She loved so many things about him, his hair, his eyes, his smile. Everything.

But nothing could compare to what she saw deep inside, his kind soul and amazing will. She was lucky to have him.

"You keep thinking hard like that, and something might break." Naruto chuckled at Jolyne's teasing, removing himself from the window to pull the dual-haired beauty into a hug. "How have you been?"

"I should be asking you that" She looked up at him, her beautiful jade green eyes demanding an answer. "*Sigh* I'm okay. Tell me all about you first. Then we'll move on to me."

Naruto spent the next hour listening to Jolyne and the trails she had been through.

Recently she went outside the prison with a few other inmates as a sort of volunteer type thing. In reality, the dual-haired beauty was trying to find information on the bastard that attacked her father.

As usual, a bizarre situation unfolded. Of course, it involved a stand, but there was no user to control it. The stand itself was actually alive, formed by a large pack of Plankton who was currently living inside a dead girl's body.

Naruto was giving Jolyne a deadpan stare at her story. "So there is this stand living inside a dead girl's body. And their name is Foo Fighters?"

"Yes"

"And at first it was an enemy, but you got help from someone called Ermes, beat it, and now it's part of your group?" The whiskered blond sighed at his girlfriend's positive nod. "That sounds about right. It can never be normal with us, can it?"

Jolyne softly rubbed his arm, using his shoulder as a head rest. "Unfortunately…"

"So in your letter, you were telling me you were gonna look into those DISC's. How did that go?" Naruto asked as he took a seat, inviting the dual-haired beauty to cuddle into his side.

Jolyne looked up to her boyfriend with a grin, producing the DISC from one of her pockets. "One down, one more to go."

The whiskered blond looked stunned, gently taking the small prison that held Star Platinum. "You did it. That's…that's amazing!"

Naruto surprised the stand user when he swept her up in his arms, giving her a deep kiss that made her toes curl.

Jolyne gave a goofy grin as she battered her jade-coloured eyes. "Damn, how do I get something like that every day?"

Naruto chuckled at her question, tilting his head with a grin. "I suppose if you get the other DISC, I would be obliged to do so."

If the dual-haired beauty didn't have the motivation to do it before, she most certainly does now. Jolyne once again made herself comfortable snuggling into her boyfriend's side, sighing content when his arm held her protectively.

"What about you? Has anything happened lately?" Naruto went quiet for a moment at the question. Still finding himself conflicted at recent events.

"I saw my Stepfather today" Jolyne was stunned by his blunt answer, sitting up and taking his large hand into her smaller own.

"Are you okay?" He was touched by her concern, the way she looked at him with such fondness and worry. It reminded him every time why he loved her as much as he does.

"I'm alright. Thank you," Naruto said softly, gently caressing her soft hands with his own "Just a little confused on some things."

"Like what?"

"I've learned things I didn't know before, about people I used to despise. Before I knew anything, I'm sure I would have torn them apart without hesitation," The whiskered blond admitted, a little ashamed at his confession.

"But now?" Jolyne softly asked.

Naruto looked frustrated, gritting his teeth as he looked away. "But now, I feel conflicted. I'm still angry at what they did, but I don't want to hurt them anymore. Is it weird to feel like that? To shift how you feel so suddenly?"

Jolyne sighed sadly, her jade-coloured eyes staring soulfully into his conflicted amber. "I can't even compare what complicated relationship I had with my father to what you had with your family, but I think I can kind of understand what your going through." The dual-haired beauty chuckled sadly. "It's funny. What happened a few months ago was probably the worst moment of my life, and yet, if it didn't happen, I would probably still be resenting my father. Not knowing what he or you did or could do and all the struggles you both had to go through."

Naruto felt his heart ache a little at the reminder. He softly ran his thumb along the bridge of her hand as he continued to listen to the love of his life.

Jolyne's eyes teared up, but she wouldn't allow herself to cry even if she wanted to. "I miss him. A day doesn't go by when I'm not thinking about him. I thought about him the most in solitary, just wishing I could go back in time and stop this whole mess from happening."

"I do to" The dual-haired beauty smiled sadly as she held his hand tighter.

"I don't think it's wrong for you to be feeling this way. If anything, I think it's pretty normal, given the bizarre situations we always seem to find ourselves in." Naruto couldn't help but chuckle. She wasn't wrong.

Jolyne felt her own mood brighten along with the whiskered blond's laughter. Lately, it's been pretty hard to find something to be happy about, but she was sure this was just what they both needed.

'Maybe something else~'

Naruto was confused when Jolyne left their little love seat, a playful smile on her lips. She started to sway her hips in a hypnotising manner as she leaned against the wall, her jade-coloured eyes shining with desire.

She ushered him over with a single finger. He wasn't in control of his body, or his body was moving for him because before he knew it, he had her pinned to the wall.

She stroked his cheek before cupping his chin with her hand, leaning up so she could whisper softly into his ear, "I wanna try something new~"

"Yeah?" Naruto trailed a series of gentle kisses from her ear all the way down to her lips. He felt goosebumps follow the trail of her finger going down his chest and past his abdomen.

He shivered as she started to nibble on his neck. It seemed that even though he knew Jolyne like the back of his hand, she knew him just as well.

Her lips were now an inch away from his ear, softly whispering what she wanted. Naruto was surprised but also eager to follow along.

Jolyne removed herself from the whiskered blond, giving him a playful smile as she acted 'surprised' "Mr guard, what are you doing here?"

Naruto gave a cocky grin as he 'trapped' the dual-haired beauty between himself and the wall, staring down at her with ravenous hunger. "FE40536, Jolyne Cujoh. I've been keeping an eye on you ever since you first arrived. You seem like the type to get into trouble."

"I don't go looking for trouble. It just seems to find me," Jolyne whispered, biting her lip.

Naruto chuckled as he rested his hand on her curved hip. "Be that as it may, I need to search you. Just to be safe."

"Oh, how thorough do you need to be?~" Jolyne asked flirtatiously, gasping in surprise when her lover spun her around and placed her hands flat against the wall.

"We'll see as we go along," Naruto crouched to a knee, resting his hands against her sexy long legs. Slowly he started to drag his hand upwards, feeling every inch of her, stopping when his hand rested against deep within her thigh. He repeated the same process on her left leg, smiling when he felt Jolyne intake a breath or shiver as his hands drew closer to her concealed sex.

Jolyne sighed in disappointment when his hands left her legs, only to grin as they now rested on her hips, quickly traveling up her ribs towards her chest. The dual-haired beauty bit her lip as his hands slipped under her shirt and started massaging her bare breasts. "Mister Mm, G-Guard, I don't think I ahh, I have anything dangerous in there~"

Naruto chuckled as he started to tweak her nipples, feeling the little nubs harden between his fingers. "I disagree. Your entire body is dangerous. I have to be more thorough than I thought."

"Oh?"

"I need you to strip for me." Jolyne gasped but didn't hesitate to take her top off, leaving her chest bare for the whiskered blond to admire. "Bottoms need to go as well, knickers included."

"Well, it's a good thing I'm not wearing any." Naruto felt himself speechless for a moment, watching with great anticipation as her pants slowly trailed down her hips. Pale cream skin was all out for his hungry eyes to gaze upon. "What do you need me to do now, Mister Guard?"

"I'll need you to take a position so I can get thorough, Miss Cujoh." Jolyne grinned as she came up with an idea she knew her boyfriend was gonna like.

"Position, huh? Do you mean on all fours?" Jolyne asked as she took said position, shaking her plump cheeks in Naruto's direction. "Or maybe you mean on my back."

The dual-haired beauty moved smoothly as she changed position, her legs spread wide as she showed off everything she had to offer, her long legs, her sexy thighs, soaking lips. She started to softly trail with a finger.

Naruto felt his jeans become too tight, unable to help but think, 'She's so sexy.'

"But if that's not to your liking, then I can-" Jolyne rested more on her back and neck, her lower body arched in the air, holding her legs down with perfect balance. "-do the bridge pose if you like?"

He couldn't wait anymore.

With swift movements that even surprised Jolyne, Naruto scooped her up and carried her in his arms. Her naked back touched the cool wall as her legs were wrapped around his waist tight.

Quite eager to start herself, the dual-haired beauty reached down and unbuttoned his jeans. His member burst free and rested hotly against her mound, throbbing with every beat of his heart.

Naruto ground his bulging head against Jolyne's wet sex, lubing himself up in her arousal. Unable to help but moan every time he bumped or ran his member along her clit.

"God, I sometimes forget how big you are." The amber-eyed blond chuckled as he angled his head at her welcoming entrance.

"What happened to the role play?" Naruto asked playfully, teasing her as he didn't put it in yet.

Jolyne growled as her eyes narrowed dangerously. Cupping her boyfriend's jaw, she leaned closer and whispered out, "Who cares, now shut up and fuck me, you stupid sexy Ngh!~"

Naruto thrusted inside his girl mid-speech, grinning at the euphoric look on her face. Clearly, she was more pent up than she let on. It was amazing from the way she clung to him and the way her walls massaged his member. They felt perfect for one another.

"Oh god, it's been so long, I really missed this~" Jolyne moaned as her body shifted and jumped with every one of the amber-eyed blond's forceful thrusts.

"D-Damn Jolyne, you feel so good."

Jolyne grinned mischievous at her boyfriend's words, leaning her head forward so her lips were an inch away from his ear. "Does it feel good, baby? Does it feel warm and cozy? Does it feel nice and wet? Mmm~. From the way you're pounding my poor little pussy it seems like you missed her Ahh! She missed you too, and she wants you all the way innnnnnnn!"

The dual-haired beauty groaned as the bulbous head knocked hard on her cervix door, battering down with every thrust.

Shlick, Shlick, Shlick~

Jolyne went slightly crossed as she clung tightly to Naruto. Her body continued to spasm with pleasure. The pleasure drunk girl had lost track of the amount of times she came.

A strong, calloused hand cupped her jaw, stopping her head from rolling around. After a moment, her jade-coloured eyes managed to focus. She saw two fiery pools of amber staring down at her with passion, lust, and love shining deep in her boyfriend's eyes.

She wanted to speak, to tell him how much she loved him and how good he was making her feel, but all she could do was whimper and moan as he continued to plunder her depths.

"Jolyne…"

'I love it when he says my name~' Jolyne sighed in content when his lips found her own, kissing her heatedly.

Naruto groaned into the kiss as he felt a very familiar sensation building. His thrusts started to blur, the wet smacking of his hips smacking her echoed throughout the small room.

"O-Oi, Jolyne. I'm gettin' close."

Jolyne moaned as she looked Naruto dead in the eyes, a tired yet satisfied grin on her lovely face. "You know what to do, big boy, ah! Fill me up, but it's not a safe day for me~"

The whiskered blond looked confused, but he refused to stop his savage thrusts. "What do you mean, Jolyne?"

"It means if you cum inside me, I might get knocked up," Jolyne gasped as her boyfriend's thrusts became even harder. His member twitched and throbbed inside her like a raging beast. "Do you like the sound of that baby? Do you wanna knock me up? Make me pregnant?"

Naruto's face went bright red at the thought of the woman he loved pregnant with his child "I-I…"

Jolyne pulled him into a soul-scorching kiss before pulling back, stroking the amber-eyed blond's whiskered cheek soothingly. "It's okay if you want to, go ahead…" A sinful smirk spread across her plump lips as she licked her lips "…Fuck a baby into me~"

That was all the motivation Naruto needed, the knocking on the girl's cervix finally wore it down, and the whiskered blond was finally able to sheath himself fully.

The dual-haired beauty squealed as her lover finally invaded her womb, stirring up her sensitive sex even more.

Naruto held Jolyne tightly as he released his full load into her unprotected womb ending their romp in an explosive finish.

The two were left panting, exhausted, but they still managed to cling to one another tightly. Still buried to the root in his girlfriend, Naruto carried her over to the couch, sighing as he was able to give his legs a rest.

The tired but satisfied blond managed to crack an eye open, smiling at the sight that greeted him, the love of his life sleeping comfortably in his arms.

Naruto shifted them both, so he was laying flat on his back. Softly he ran his hand up and down her back in a soothing manner.

'It wouldn't be so bad for us to rest, to have a night to ourselves. Not having to worry about anyone trying to kill us or what someone's evil plan is. That's not too much to ask, right? A night of rest….'

For the first time in many months, both Naruto and Jolyne got a good night's rest. The worries of today, the past, and the future were put aside.

Tonight was for them.

---

A week has gone by since the couples…'meet up' and since then, their moods have improved drastically. No more than Naruto, who felt a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Currently residing in his cell studying the DISC that Jolyne had gifted him. The small mystical object contained Star Platinum and all its time-stopping power. The Stand's spectral form could be faintly seen within the reflection. It seemed to be waiting for something but what? Naruto had no clue.

'How am I going to get you to the foundation?'

Sighing in frustration at the lack of a plan, he hid the DISC in a slit in his mattress, safe and hidden from prying eyes.

The whiskered blond jumped off the top bunk. He grabbed everything he thought he would need, as well as a special ace in the hole, there if he would need it. Putting on his favourite jacket and was about to leave his cell but stopped when he sensed two powerful presences heading towards his direction.

They were closing in fast, much faster than Naruto would have liked.

He could faintly hear the footsteps. It was soft at first, and then it started to grow until coming to a complete stop.

They're here.

The first one to walk in was the one with silver hair and red eyes. A dark malicious hunger shone deep in his dark crimson pools.

His partner was only a step behind him.

He was taller than Naruto and his silver-haired companion. Green eyes surrounded by a sea of red instead of white stayed upon the whiskered blond's tense form.

"Naruto Brando…you are a hard man to find, especially in a place so confined." His voice was deep yet raspy. It seemed to come out in a sort of whisper, yet the amber-eyed blond could hear it as if he was speaking directly into his ear. "It's made my companion here at little…erratic."

The silver-haired man growled, his eyes narrowed into slits. "We should just get this over with Kakuzu, he's right here, and there's no one to stop us."

"Easy, Hidan, there's a time and place for everything."

Naruto was ready to call out Golden Experience but decided to hold out on calling his Stand just yet. No need to show his hand to his enemies.

"Why are you guys here to kill me?"

Hidan chuckled madly as he shook his head, leaning against the exit of the cell. "No, we're not here to kill you. In fact, quite the opposite, we are to deliver you to our 'leader'. He is quite eager to meet you."

"I don't give a damn what your 'leader' wants. I'm not going anywhere with you two."

"I was hoping you would say that," Hidan chuckled as he was surrounded by a sinister red aura. "You see, we know all about your stand. We know anything we cut off can be put back later on. So…there won't be much point of taking you with your arms and legs."

A surge of gold surrounded Naruto, easily filling the room with his presence and power.

"I'm afraid you two don't know who you're dealing with. You may know my name and my Stand, but you have no idea who I am." Molten twin pools of amber shined ominously. A savage grin spread across his lips as he showed no fear towards his enemies. "So I'll leave you with this, you can try, but if you do…I will kill you."

Naruto's threat seemed to excite Hidan even more. Kakuzu looked weary, clenching his bandaged fists tight as he glared at the smug-looking blond.

"Is there a problem here?" Damion's voice echoed throughout the cell. The whiskered blond was relieved to see his cellmate, finding the odds just a bit more even.

"No problem at all," Kakuzu grumbled as he nodded his head to Hidan. The silver-haired inmate seemed to understand what his partner wanted. With a frown, he turned and walked out of the cell, sharing a glance with Naruto's cellmate.

Before Kakuzu left himself, he stopped and looked Damion in the eyes. "It's good to see you again, Death. I'm sure he will be happy to know your alive."

With that, he walked out, just leaving the snowy-haired teen with his cellmate.

Naruto was eyeing Damion carefully. He had seen the looks of familiarity being sent towards his fellow inmate and that name…'Death'.

He didn't want to jump to conclusions, but it seems who he thought was an ally may be an enemy instead.

"Before anything happens, you want to tell me what that was about and who you are? I know if you were going to kill me or kidnap me like them, then you would have had plenty of opportunities to do so, but you didn't. So who are you?" Damion sighed at Naruto's question, looking more tired than the blond Stand user had ever seen him.

"My real name really is Damion, but my code name was Death. I worked for Red Dawn, which you could basically call a radical cult full of Stand users. It's not big. Last time I checked, it only had roughly nine members, or at least that's how many when I was still a part of it."

Naruto was at least thankful his cellmate was being honest, and hopefully, he could finally get some questions answered. "What does your leader want with me?"

"I don't know. What I do know is he can't do whatever he plans to do without you. He will continue to send every member of Red Dawn until he has you. It will do no good hiding either. He will eventually find you" Damion's answer put the blond on edge. While he liked to think he was strong, he didn't think he could take on nine stand users and win.

"Do you have any info on their stands or their abilities?" Naruto needed an edge. Anything the snowy-haired teen could give him was an advantage he didn't have before.

"Not much, I can give you info about Hidan and Kakuzu and one other member, but that's all I got."

"That's more than enough."

"Hidan's stand is weapon-based. It comes in the form of a three-bladed scythe, don't let it cut you" Damion made sure to stress how important it was. He's seen all the different types of horror Hidan has done to people. He was a sick and dangerous individual. "Kakuzu is more complicated."

"How so?"

"His stand is inside of his body. It's hard to explain, but it makes him incredibly strong and durable as hell." Naruto sighed. It seemed out of the two, Kakuzu will be the hardest to put down, best he gets Hidan out of the way first.

"Thanks for the help, Damion."

"Hey, Naruto," the whiskered blond looked back to his cellmate with a raised brow. "I'm sorry I didn't say anything earlier. I don't mean to do you or anyone any harm. I actually came here to help you."

"Why?"

"I've done a lot of terrible things, hurt a lot of people. I thought it's only right I try and help someone, put an end to that deranged cult." Naruto sighed. He didn't mind Damion, he was a cool dude, and so far, he's been pretty honest.

The amber-eyed blond seemed to maul a thought over, sighing as he looked over to his cellmate with a faint smile. "You got a powerful stand?"

Damion gave a shrug with a with a small grin of his own. "It'll get the job done."

"I'd feel more comfortable having someone on my side to even the odds" Naruto held his hand out in offering, "Partners?"

"Partners," Damian accepted the whiskered blond's offering without hesitation, glad whatever tension that was there was now put behind them. "So when do you plan to strike?"

"Now"

"Now?" Damian asked with a raised brow, slightly baffled at his rash declaration. "You seriously want to attack now?"

"No better time, that little show of power is supposed to rattle me, send me hiding and give them the advantage. Fuck that! I say get 'em now while they're not expecting it," Walking out of his cell with an extra feeling of purpose and determination with each step.

"Fair enough," Damian chuckled as he quickly caught up to his cellmate.

Naruto glanced over to the snowy-haired teen with a frown. He decided to say something that had been on his mind, "Hey Damian, I just got to know. Why did you ever join them?"

"Would you blame me, if my answer was love?"

"No. No, I wouldn't" he couldn't, even if he wanted to.

---

Blue skies, a small clearing surrounded by a handful of trees. A small little Paradis on this hellish island.

Hidan sat crouched forward, eyes closed, and his necklace rested comfortably in his hand. He was mumbling to himself, a mantra he had memorised since he was a boy.

Yet his prayer came short as he looked up to see Naruto and Damion staring him down with contempt.

Hidan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "You cheeky bastard. You didn't even wait an hour before deciding to take us out. I respect that ahahah! Perfect timing as well, Kakuzu just left to go get that pretty girl of yours.''

"…"

Hidan grinned sadistically at Naruto's silence, letting go of his necklace and standing tall with an air of menace. "You are a lucky man. A lucky man indeed."

"Damion, I need you to stall Kakuzu for as long as you can. I'll come and join you as soon as I'm done here."

"You sure?"

"Please…"

"Alright, end this quickly." Naruto thanked Damion in his head as he glared at the smug-looking Hidan.

"You got some balls on you, kid, facing me with no backup. You're just asking for me to cut you up," The amber-eyed teen scoffed. Gold Experience was already out and ready to destroy its master's enemy.

"I think I know exactly how I'm going to kill you."

"You actually think you can kill me?"

"I only need one blow."

"One blow?" Hidan cackled as he held his arms open, leaving himself bare for Naruto to attack. "Alright, kid, give it your best shot but make it count. You only get one."

You only get one…the blond teen took those words to heart. With the aid of his Stand, Naruto crossed the distance between himself and his enemy in half a second.

Fiery amber met insane crimson.

Hidan's expression of madness didn't change even for a second. He kept his wide grin, revealing his teeth. Excited eyes wide with his pupil shrinking to a dot.

SPLICH!

Gold Experience's tightly clenched fists bursting through his chest and out his back. A spill of blood stained the dark green grass, ruining whatever harmony this little garden had.

"Heh…" Hidan's head fell forward. His shoulders started to shake as a gruelling sound left his throat, laughter "AhahahAHAHAAHAHa!"

Naruto had Gold Experience remove its fist, taking a few steps back to gain some distance from the laughing mad man.

A mouthful of blood fell from Hidan's lips, his laughter replaced by a hacking cough. "I didn't think you would do it. You actually went for the killing blow." he seemed to speak with surprise but also pride. For whatever reason, happy the whiskered blond went for the kill. "You…you are dangerous." Hidan held his right hand out, never taking his eyes off of Naruto's "Endless Sacrifice…"

A scythe materialized into his open palm. The handle was carefully wrapped in a white cloth, a source of white to contrast the blood-red metal. Three sharp blades rested at the top, slightly decreasing in length, with the bottom blade being the shortest and the top being the longest.

Hidan wrapped his right hand around the metal cable attached to the bottom of the handle, grinning as he showed off his Stand, Endless Sacrifice.

"Now, this is where the fun begins!" Naruto growled as he was forced to duck and weave all of Hidan's sloppy slashes, he lacked form, but he seemed to make up for it with energy and lack of care for his own well-being.

Endless Sacrifice created deep cuts into anything that wasn't the whiskered blond. Missing his nimble form by inches.

Naruto couldn't help but groan in frustration as the blade missed his head, slicing off a few strands of his hair "Jesus! When are you gonna bleed out already!"

"Ahahahaha!"

---

Kakuzu didn't fear the darkness, quite the opposite actually. He embraced it, thrived off of it.

He traveled through passages leading towards the woman's side of the prison, hidden away or rather forgotten by the guards or anyone else who wasn't smart enough to know where to look.

His only source of light coming from a single hanging bulb near his exit.

It softly buzzed with each swing, probably the first time it's been used in years.

He felt a deep chill run up his spine, the type of chill you would feel if someone was walking over your grave or a spectral entity flying through your body.

Kakuzu's walk came to a stop. Slowly, he turned to face the way he entered. No one was there.

"I'm surprised with you, Damion, throwing everything you worked hard for, forgetting our goal, his dream." The snowy-haired teen appeared in a swirl of darkness and shadow, scowling at the Red Dawn member.

He was hunched over with his face obscured from Kakuzu's sight. "I'm looking forward to putting an end to it all. You, Red Dawn, all of it."

"…" Slowly, he started to unravel all his bandages, more and more tanned skin was revealed.

Damion made no reaction as he saw what could be described as Frankenstein's monster, deep stitching appearing all over his body. Mainly his arms, legs, torso, and mouth.

In Damion's eyes, he truly was a monster, inside and out.

"So Damion, shall we begin?" Kakuzu's skin started to bulge and slither as if something alive was moving all throughout his body.

The snow-haired teen grit his teeth and narrowed his eyes. 'You better get here quick, Naruto…'

---

Naruto dodged another reckless slash from Hidan, using the man's clumsy slash to his advantage. Gold Experience had a stance similar to that of a boxer, landing left and right hook filled with life energy.

Hidan's skin started to redden and bruise from the rib-crushing blows, but he showed no sign he was in pain, quite the opposite. He looked like he relished in it.

The hole in his chest did nothing to hinder his movement, the same ferocity he had started the fight with still remained and certainly didn't look like it was going anywhere soon.

'How? How can someone like him take all this damage and still fight?' Naruto wondered to himself, panting slightly.

Hidan twirled his scythe in his hand, grinning as he unwrapped the cable from around his arm, now holding it in his hand. "I gotta admit, kid, you're good. I haven't had this much fun in a while."

The insane Red Dawn member started to twirl the cable and, by extension, the scythe. His movements were fluid, precise, quick. Anyone getting hit by an attack now would surely be cut in two.

The scythe sliced through the air towards the startled blond. It was thanks to Naruto's quick senses that he was able to dive down, dodging Hidan's critical attack.

However, he didn't have time to think as the deadly weapon came barreling down at him from above.

Naruto, with the aid of Gold Experience, was able to move out of the deadly situation just in the nick of time. The deadly scythe slammed into the earth, creating a dust cloud that blocked the whiskered blond's view of his assailant.

A sudden burst of wind blew away the cloud. It was Hidan. In a brilliant move using his cable and scythe to pull himself forward, he shot his leg forward and kicked Naruto in the ribs, sending the amber-eyed blond skidding back.

With great strength, the silver-haired maniac ripped his scythe from the earth, leaping at his target with his deadly weapon drawn back. "I've got you now!"

'Shit, this guy just doesn't stop, and he keeps tanking whatever I throw at him. I need to finish him off soon.' Naruto grunted as he dodged another sloppy swing. He needed to land another heavy blow. Something that would scramble Hidan for a while and give him some time.

"Oi Hidan, we gonna stay here dodging all day, or you actually gonna land a blow?" The insane Red Dawn member chuckled as he rested his heavy scythe on his shoulder.

"Heh, I don't mind, kid. Kakuzu will have killed Damion and got your little sweetheart. Probably making his way back now. So, why don't you be a good lad and stay still!" Hidan roared as he lept through the air, scythe hanging high over his head. He brought his scythe down in a voracious slash.

Red eyes snapped open as his scythe failed to slash apart its target. Gold Experience had caught his attack by the handle, the longest blade inches from digging into its cheek.

"What?!"

"Surprise motherfucker!" Naruto rushed out from behind his Stand, a big grin on his lips as he landed a heavy haymaker on Hidan's jaw, sending the silver-haired madman flying.

The whiskered blond was so focused on his downed enemy, he never noticed the small trickle of blood sliding down his whiskered cheek.

Hidan did.

"You silly bastard…Ahahahaha! It's over!"

Naruto watched with frowned brows and grit teeth as Hidan pulled himself to his feet, bringing the top blade of his scythe to his mouth, ingesting whatever blood of the blond teen that remained.

"Let's get 'em Endless Sacrifice!" Hidan's mad laughter seemed to only grow as his skin turned black as night, covering his entire form besides the stray appearance of white on his face, chest, arms, hands, and legs. It was as if he was given the look of death itself.

Naruto found himself unable to move, his eyes widening as he felt as if he had lost all control of his body. "What have you done?"

"This," Hidan said as he plunged his spear into his left leg.

A sharp burning pain soared through the whiskered blond, falling to his knee. Naruto roared in agony, clutching his bleeding leg in pain.

"Oh, you are so fucked now, kid," Hidan laughed as he lifted his spear once more and plunged it into his right.

"Gahhhh!"

Naruto grit his teeth as he tried to suppress the agonizing pain. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up to see the silver-haired maniac looking down at him, with sadist pleasure in his blood-red eyes. "Looks like I win, kid, but it ain't over yet. I still gotta pay you back for some of those shots you got in."

For the next few minutes, Hidan enjoyed torturing the amber-eyed blond, making sure not to hit anything critical with his stabs but also making sure to make every one unbearable and as painful as possible.

By the time it was over, Naruto lay face down in a small pool of blood, his eyes unblinking as he stared off into the distance.

"Well, I suppose that takes care of that," Hidan muttered as his stand undid its mystical power, turning the psychotic man back to normal and removing whatever curse plagued the whiskered blond. "Guess I'll just wait for Kaku-gurk"

The insane member of Red Dawn brought his hand to his mouth, giving a chest-rattling cough that ended up staining his palm with blood.

Hidan stared down at his shaking hand with horror and confusion. "W-What's happening?"

"I was waiting for you to drop whatever the fuck you were doing." Red eyes widened dramatically. Naruto was sitting there staring at him with a tired grin. "That really hurt, by the way, but I think what's going to happen to you is going to hurt way more."

"What did you do?!" Hidan demanded, cradling his chest in pain.

Naruto smirked as Gold Experience appeared above his shoulder, its right hand glowing with life energy. "This."

Roots started to sprout from his open wound, growing and festering at an incredible rate.

The pain was excruciating. Endless Sacrifice faded from Hidan's hand. Another harsh coughing fit sent him falling to his hands and knees.

"W-When did you-?"

"When did I plant the seed? With that free shot you gave me," Naruto put his hands in his pockets, watching with apathetic eyes, "It must be painful. Having life grow inside you, roots looking for nutrients, your insides ripping apart" A harsh kick sent Hidan flying onto his back, wheezing as a tree started to grow out of his wound.

Roots left his body and started vigorously digging into the soil below. The more they borrowed, the softer the ground started to become, slowly dragging the silver-haired maniac underground.

"I know what a monster you are. Damion filled me in, and I also know that I can't kill you. So take solace that for the rest of your life you'll be doing some good for this place" Hidan had his hand held out in the whiskered blond's direction, bloodshot eyes never leaving his still form.

'Naruto…Brando…'

Hidan was soon swallowed by the earth, dragged deep down, forever buried, forever ever suffering.

Red Dawn had lost a member, and now, Naruto was determined to make them lose another.

---

Darkness swirled around Damion in a tight embrace. A glowing pink eye was visible over his shoulder as his stand slowly materialized.

Its thin fingers resting on his shoulder as it glared heatedly at Kakuzu.

"Ah, Nihil. It's been a while."

In a blink and you miss it moment, Nihil disappeared from behind Damion, creeping closer and closer until the faint light could reveal the Stand's spectral form.

The outer layer of its body looked similar to petrified wood with other parts of its body that wasn't covered, showing a purple gem-like substance (Neck, under, and part of its arms, chest, and knees). A single light purple and dark purple patterned loincloth covered its back and front, melding with gold-like platting on its abdomen.

A particular physical trait that stood out the most was the symbol-like tattoo on its forehead.

With a single finger twitch, three deadly blades made of darkness appeared, floating by its sides.

"I suppose you think you have me at a disadvantage," Kakuzu whispered as his hand reached up, stopping the swinging bulb. "But we know that isn't true, is it, Damion?"

He crushed the lightbulb with his bare hand, swallowing the entire room in shadow.

Even in his natural element, Damion didn't feel like he had the advantage. If anything, it was the opposite.

The sound of shoes against the cold hard floor was deafening to the snowy-haired teen. His heart was crashing against his ribs, and his breath was light.

Nihil stood in front of him protectively. It did little to soothe the growing dread as he waited for Kakuzu to make his move.

Wham!

A fist colliding with his cheek sent Damion flying into a door, knocking the old slab of wood off its hinges and filling the hallway with light once again.

"I'm afraid you're going to need much more than the dark to kill me, Damion."

A trail of crimson fell across pale skin. Red Dawn's ex-member wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth "Nihil!"

Daggers made of darkness appeared in Nihil's hands. A quick flick of the wrist sent them flying towards Kakuzu.

With ease, he caught the two blades before crushing them to nothing.

Damion cursed as he pushed himself to his feet. His stand created a single claymore out of its power before handing it to him.

With a flick of its wrist, two more blades of darkness floated by its side, specifically by its hands.

"So you plan to fight me alongside your stand, smart. Instead of strictly relying on your stand like most, you use whatever advantage you can. You were trained well." Nihil took the lead as it soared towards Kakuzu, its arms spread wide, then drawing in close, attempting to bisect the stitched man.

He was too quick, leaping high in the air Kakuzu's skin around his arm started to wiggle and move until it detached with thick grey bundle of threads connecting the arm to its joint, his hand locked around a stray pipe, using it as leverage to dodge Nihil's attack.

"I'm sure you remember my Stand, Pendulous Threads."

Damion didn't say anything as he charged at Kakuzu. Nihil quickly followed his lead and started attacking the stitched menace from the rear.

Each slash was dodged or knocked aside by his hand. With an aggressive grunt, he kicked the snow-haired teen, sending him crashing into a pillar.

Nihil faded away, disappearing then reappearing by Damion's side, giving its user the leverage he needed to stand.

"You've gotten rusty, Damion. Death of Red Dawn, reduced to this? Such a disappointment…" Kakuzu's statement seemed to rile up the Stand user, but he held himself back. He couldn't get sloppy. If he did, he would die.

Rethinking his plan, he gave silent orders to his stand, Nihil sunk into the shadows while the snowy-haired teen charged once more at the Red Dawn member.

"You're getting predictable, Damion," Kakuzu roared as his arms bulged, the threads within curling and twirling before in a burst of pressure, sent them soaring towards Damion.

A wall of blackness appeared behind the stitched man, but he didn't seem to notice. Nihil didn't attack like expected, instead charged into the darkness, out of sight once more.

Just as it seemed, Kakuzu was about to ensnare Damion when a familiar wall of black appeared before him. Without fear, the snowy-haired teen stepped through while his Stand stepped out.

Kakuzu's eyes widened. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Damion charging at him with the intent to kill. His claymore pointed at the ready.

The stitched man made the mistake of turning his back on Nihil in his pursuit to stop the snowy-haired teen.

The Stand made two long chains with a hook on the end of each one. Kakuzu roared as the hooks pierced into his body, pulling him back and leaving him open for Damion to strike.

The claymore pierced through Kakuzu's skin, all the way through and out his back, buried to the hilt of the blade.

Damion looked up into the stitched man's eyes and saw…amusement. No pain, no dwindling of life, just amusement.

"I guess you proved me wrong, Damion. Maybe the reaper lives inside you yet. You can die with your honour intact" Kakuzu got a tight hold on the snowy-haired teen, raining blow after jaw cracking blow.

Damion was knocked deeper and deeper into a daze with every hit, blood pooled in his mouth as he was savagely beaten.

He felt weak. He couldn't stand. The only thing keeping him up was the stitched man's tight grip. His hands moved from gripping his shoulders to the side of his head.

"Goodbye, Damion." Kakuzu muscles bulged as he started to squeeze, applying pressure on the snowy-haired teen's skull.

Damion weakly attempted to fight his attacker off, but the pressure in his head was becoming too much.

'Is this how it ends?…I suppose it is. I'm sorry I couldn't do more Naruto. I'll leave the rest up to you. Wait for me a little longer Delilah.'

Damion closed his eyes, awaiting death.

"WWWWRRRRRYYYYYY!"

Gold Experience's foot barreled into Kakuzu's cheek, sending the beast of a man flying.

Naruto caught Damion before his head could hit the floor. "Damion, you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I just need a moment."

Kakuzu growled as he picked himself off the floor, rubbing his cheek as he glared at the amber-eyed teen. "Naruto Brando…you're proving to be quite the annoyance."

"I would say Hidan agrees with you, but well, no one will ever be hearing from him again," Naruto said confidently as his Stand got to work healing Damion.

"So you found a way to beat Hidan hm? I suppose that's our fault for underestimating you. No matter, I won't be making the same mistake twice." Kakuzu started to walk forward, knuckles cracking like gravel.

Naruto scowled as the stitched bastard was getting closer "Hey Damion, you good to fight?"

Damion nodded. The phantom pain was still there, but he felt good as new "Yeah, I'm good, thank you."

"No problem. How do you want to deal with this?"

"If you want him to feel anything, then you have to hit him with everything you have. I stabbed him in the chest, and he tanked it. I have a theory on how to beat him or at least the idea of one," Damion explained as he was shoulder to shoulder with Naruto, glaring at Kakuzu.

"I'm listening."

"Aim for all his vitals. Hopefully, if we get his heart or his brain, that will finish him off."

Naruto grinned as he cracked his knuckles, walking in step with his snowy-haired partner. "Well then, let's get to it!"

The two teenage Stand users charged at Kakuzu, summoning forth their stands. Life and darkness worked side by side to end their foe.

Nihil materialised two blades while Gold Experience glowed brightly in a golden aura. The two worked in perfect tandem. Damion's Stand would attack with brutal slashes while Naruto's would block, parry, and throw a punch if it saw an opening.

Soon cuts started to form all over Kakuku's body, revealing the grey threads beneath.

The stitched Red Dawn member growled like a feral anime, growing more and more enraged with every strike or slash.

"Enough!" With a roar, his back split apart with two large tendrils of threads shot out, cracking the walls and knocking both the Stands away.

Kakuzu looked more monster than man as all his stitches stretched to the limit. He looked crazed as his threads were visible everywhere, even his mouth.

Naruto had no time to move as the large tendril ensnared around him like a serpent, squeezing the whiskered blond.

"Naruto!" Damion shouted as he charged in to help his companion. However, Kakuzu's stand overwhelmed him, pinning him against the wall.

"It's time we end this"

Naruto tried to move, tried to summon Gold Experience, but it was useless. The whiskered blond continued to struggle, but it amounted to nothing. 'Damn it! I can't let it end here! Come on, move!'

Kakuzu held his hand out towards Damion, slowly closing his fist. "Farewell, Damion."

"STOP!"

FLASH!

A flash of yellow, that was all anyone saw.

Kakuzu blinked the spots away from his eyes. Looking around, he frowned when he noticed his threads had been slashed and both the Stand users were missing.

"I know you're still here, lurking. I will find you…I WILL FIND YOU!"

Naruto and Damion were hidden behind a large pillar, both looking quite dazed.

"You boys alright?" Minato asked as he crouched to a knee, a concerned look in his eyes.

"Minato…what the hell are you doing here?" Naruto asked, confused, to see his Ex-Stepfather.

The older blond smiled as he helped the teen to his feet. "I've been keeping an eye on you ever since we parted ways to keep you safe."

"How did you save us?"

"You didn't think you were the only user here, did you?" Minato asked as he summoned his stand. It was a very humanoid-looking Stand, just like Naruto's Gold Experience.

It had a muscular build of grey skin and golden markings littering all over its body, mainly its arms, face, and legs.

It was a strange hybrid of flesh and metal, giving it a living yet mechanical presence.

A gold-tipped white feather boa hung off its broad shoulders like a sort of cape. Its chest was bare, while its lower half was covered by black pants with a sash tightly wrapped around its waist.

"Guess the saying is true, Stand users attract other Stand users," Naruto muttered as he could hear Kakuzu coming. Crushing walls, breaking pillars in search of the trio. "We need to end this quickly before he brings this entire section down."

"I can get you close. Maybe do something about those threads," Minato offered as he twirled one of his three-pointed knives.

"And I can end it. I just need an opening," Damion said as Nihil floated by his side. Darkness controlling Stand smirking as it created a large elegant bow.

Naruto grinned as he thought up a plan. "Alright, we gotta work together on this. Damion, I need you to cover me with whatever you can while I charge in. Minato, make sure the path is clear. I bet he'll use his threads to trap you like me before. Don't let that happen."

"You got it"

"Alright, let's end this Frankenstein-looking bitch!" Naruto roared as he charged from behind the pillar, grinning as he saw Minato pass him with the aid of his Stand.

"Do it, Nihil!" three large arrows soared past the blond duo, striking Kakuzu in the chest, forcing him to bring one of his tendrils back for protection.

Minato, now carrying a second knife, started to hack and slash at the threads with the aid of his Stand, Flash.

Bright flashes of light zipped all around Kakuzu, hacking his threads to pieces and giving Naruto the opening he needed.

"All clear Naruto!" The whiskered blond gave a nod in Minato's direction before continuing his charge to the weakened Red Dawn member.

Kakuzu roared as he brought back his right arm, bulging and increasing it in size and powers. "You little bastard!"

Naruto barely dodged the ferocious punch, grinning as he closed in, summoning out his soul to end it all.

Gold Experience surged forward on its master command, snarling as it landed a vicious right hook on Kakuzu's cheek "MUDA!"

"MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDAAAA!"

It didn't end there, chest, ribs, face. The golden stand unleashed a barrage after a barrage of blows, ending it all with a vicious uppercut that sent Kakuzu flying into the air, open and vulnerable to Nihil.

The darkness controlling stand created one last arrow, filled to the brim with its power. On Damion's word, it aimed, drew back its bow, and fired.

The arrow sailed through the air, the shadows guiding it towards its target.

Kakuzu could only watch his upcoming death for what felt like hours but was actually seconds, his last thoughts weren't filled with regrets or begging for forgiveness but the promise even though he will die, Red Dawn's ambitions will come true.

SPLICH!

The arrow pierced his skull, destroying his brain and killing him instantly.

It was finally over.

Kakuzu's body landed with a thud, lifeless.

Naruto made sure to check, searching for any indicator that he may live 'Nothing…'

"Is he dead?"

"Yeah, yeah, he's dead," Naruto confirmed to Damion, giving the snowy-haired teen a grin and a thumbs up. "Nice shot."

The trio of Stand users used Minato's stand to bring them to a marker he placed in a safe place, outside in a more hidden area, away from cameras and away from fellow prisoners.

Damion was the first to separate from the small group, saying he was going to rest and recover in their cell. This left Naruto and Minato alone.

"Thank you, Minato. I'm not sure what I would have done without your help." Minato waved his Ex-Stepson off with a tired smile.

"It's fine, Naruto. I'm sure you would have found a way to beat him with or without my help." Naruto was surprised by the praise but welcomed it all the same.

"Maybe," The whiskered blond muttered, eyes narrowing as he couldn't help but form in thought, "Minato, I have to know something."

"Hm?"

"How come you haven't left? Why stay here?" Minato seemed to think hard on the young blond's question, sighing as he rubbed his eyes.

"I'm not quite sure if I'm honest. When I came to the prison, I was a broken and angry man. I had nothing. But now? I have a chance to be a better man, work hard to pay back every wrong I've ever done, and if possible, help others, if I can." The older blond Looked away from Naruto, frowning deeply as he stared off into the distance. "I guess a part of me is scared that if I leave, I'll be that man again."

Once again, it went quiet.

Naruto could see Minato wanted to be left alone. Quietly, he said, "Thank you," Before turning around and leaving.

---

After a vigorous battle, the two teenagers were found in their shared cell, sleeping off yesterday's battle.

Naruto had kicked the covers off during the night, leaving his chest bare but the rest covered.

A small trail of drool left his mouth as he softly snored.

Damion was wrapped up tight in blankets on his own bunk. Resting oddly enough with one of his pillows laying on top of his face.

A harsh knocking on the cell bars jarred Naruto from his sleep. "Brando, wake up!"

The whiskered blond groaned as he forced himself to sit up. "Dude, why are you waking me up so early."

The guard snorted in amusement as he leaned against the cell. "Get dressed, kid, you have a visitor waiting for you."

"What do you mean a visitor? Who could be visiting me?" Naruto asked as he threw on his jeans, a shirt, and his signature jacket.

"Dunno, I was just told to bring you down. You know the drill, hands through the bars" the tired blond did as instructed, letting the guard place a pair of cuffs on his wrist and leading him toward the visitation lounge.

It didn't take long for him to be pat down, told the rules, and what would happen if he disobeyed the rules.

With a sigh, he walked into the room with a frown, searching for his visitor. That's when he saw her.

Long crimson hair, fair skin, and lavender-coloured eyes.

She looked up and gasped, saying his name in a breathless whisper, "Naruto…"

"Mom…"
