I typed this the day after I typed chapter 1 and I'm going straight into chapter 3 too. I'm not sure if the next chapter is going to be longer or not, but I'm going to try and end the Little Monsters Arc in the next chapter. I suppose this could work as a prologue before we get into the first lengthy arc where things get a bit more personal for everyone.

There could be Part 2's to some Arcs, meaning the trio will travel to a timeline they already left. I may return to the Little Monster Arc at a later date, to give more time to develop the characters here.

Edit: As of posting this I'm well into the 3rd chapter. It will most certainly be the longest chapter for a while. As such, I doubt I will have it out by Christmas.

Also, I wasn't going to post this until I got at least 10 reviews in 24 hours. But I feel like being nice just this once. By that I mean, this next chapter will show me who wants to continue or not because things get worse before they get better with this fic.

Buckle up and hold on tight. Here's chapter 2. Enjoy.

Little Monsters Arc

Chapter 2: The Red Flag Waving Never Meant the Same

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried.

Granted, he was always worried about one thing or another. Threats from Iwa, trade negotiations falling through with Kumo, Suna's treatment of their jinchuriki. There was always something forever present within the old shinobi's mind that kept him from experiencing the peace he wanted. The forefront was definitely his surrogate grandson Naruto Uzumaki.

Over the span of 11 years, the boy had been subject to all forms of debauchery at the hands of people he himself called friends and family. From being ridiculed and over priced for simple items, to literally being beaten and hunted like an animal. The boy had been through what many shinobi would not experience throughout their entire career within a few years alone.

But there wasn't much he could do about it.

The Hokage enforced the laws as he could, however, it was just impossible for him to be aware of Naruto 24/7. He checked in on him almost every hour if he had the chance, but the duties of a Hokage were never done, not even with the help from his council and secretaries. It was bad enough the anbu he assigned to the boy usually came up with sudden illnesses whenever something happened to the child. There was really no one he could trust, and that scared him most.

Within his office, the evening sun beginning to make its way over the horizon to give way for the moon within a few hours time, the hokage thought back on what he had seen earlier that day when checking in on his favorite blonde.

Something was different.

The situation as it was made the old man happy. However, it also made him suspicious. He had seen Naruto up early, which wasn't exactly anything to worry about. He also went to Ichiraku's ramen. Again, nothing out of the ordinary. However, the arrival of the Yamanaka heiress, along with her affectionate greeting of the boy, along with the not so later arrival of the Hyuga heiress with a similar greeting, had definitely thrown the old shinobi for a loop.

For a fact he knew the three had no prior interactions with each other that would have lead to such a greeting. If they had been speaking in the academy, their actions before that time didn't show any forms of budding camaraderie or anything.

The first thing to go through Hiruzen's mind was that the Yamanaka heiress was playing some type of trick on Naruto. The girl had been less than cordial with him ever since they met, doing everything short of physically abusing the boy along with most others in his class. He was prepared to give a stern talking to the girl until the Hyuga heiress showed up and greeted both pre-teens in the same manner. The way they all held each other showed years of familiarity and deep, deep affection.

Sarutobi didn't know what to make of it. Both Naruto and Hinata had been fairly meek and shy children. He knew they both held a bit of animosity towards everyone else around them besides the few key people in their lives that showed they cared. But they hadn't shown interest in one another. Often times it seemed as if they loathed each other.

Seeing the would be shinobi conversing with the ramen stand owner, he wondered if he simply had been too unobservant of Naruto's school life. Maybe he simply misjudged the subtle nuances the trio had made towards each other. That is, until he saw them perform some sort of jutsu behind Teuchi's back.

He couldn't tell what they had done, but the way they did it spoke of years of practice. As well, it was a jutsu he had never seen before. He may be old, but he was not called the 'Professor of Shinobi' for no reason. His attention was fully on the trio, watching for any changes in their demeanor. At least, more than he could already see. Ino was usually rambunctious. However, seeing Naruto and Hinata conversing with such animation was new to him. Granted, he didn't pay as much attention to the Hyuga, he had seen enough of her to know the many displays of emotions crossing her face during their conversation was more than her family had probably ever seen.

The icing on the cake was when Teuchi returned to the trio and they subtly dispelled whatever jutsu they had used. So it must have been some form of cloaking or silencing jutsu. Either or, those type of genjutsu were not something genin could use, let alone academy students. Sealing arrays for those type of things were out of the question and price range for children like them as well.

Yep. Suspicious.

For the life of him, though, the Third Hokage could not put a finger on what exactly was happening. But since it regarded his pseudo grandson, he knew the best thing to do.

Take him to get some ramen and talk about it.

The classes for that particular day ended normally. Or boring, in Naruto and Hinata's words. Ino, surprisingly, was the happiest of them all. Her anger from the loss against chaos was mostly replaced with a feeling of contentment from spending the afternoon with her brothers Chouji and Shikamaru. The cheery smile on her face wasn't lost on Naruto and Hinata whom both shot her dirty looks for being happy when she should have shared in their misery.

"Oh lighten up you two! Once we get our energy back, we can all have some fun anyway!" Ino called as she practically skipped down the street in front of the two.

They weren't afraid to be seen together as when Ino and Hinata got their energy back, there would be nothing anyone could say to them anyway. If someone tried anything as they headed to Naruto's apartment, the blonde jinchuriki himself had no qualms with kicking off some fireworks before his ladies could. The one day back in the academy reminded him why he hated the place so much. It was absolutely boring. Even Iruka's awesome teaching couldn't change that after over a billion years of the same shit.

"It's not fair." Hinata whined again. "You're such a social butterfly, Ino! You can enjoy being this far back in time! I have to deal with my fucktard family and Naruto has to deal with everyone!"

Ino's smile fell a bit. Hinata looked at the blonde, not expecting her words to draw emotions out of her. At least, not in this timeline. "Sorry, Hina-chan." Ino called as she turned to face the two and walked backwards. "I know it sucks to be back with your family like this again. I know I had things so much better than you both. We've been through this so many times, I can't help but be happy of the things I have."

The trio had heard this speech plenty of times too. But their melding minds of the timeline always felt something for it. The emotion wasn't as strong as it used to be, but it was still there, fresh as always.

"And it makes me happier that I get to help you both through it. I'm not happy you two had to suffer, but now look at us! We can give back to them a million fold. Having Shikamaru and Chouji help us sometimes makes me love them too. That's why I always get so happy when I can spend time with them!"

Naruto rolled his eyes. "We know Ino. Geez, you don't have to try and get sentimental on us. What, are you having second thoughts about this timeline now?"

Hinata looked at Ino with horror. She was far more than prepared to fuck things up. She didn't want them both backing out then. A two against one vote was how they did things usually.

The platinum blonde shook her head. "No, of course not! I've already thought up a game for mom and everything! But I kinda agree with Naruto on this one. I want to hang around for a bit instead of just blowing everything away in one go."

Hinata folded her arms and pouted again, making both blondes chuckle. "You guys suck."

"Aww don't be like that Hina-hime! Wouldn't you like to hear your dad begging you to spare his life for a few days?"

Hinata's pout slowly faded. "Mm..." She mumbled. Both blondes stepped closer.

"What was that?" Ino asked with a smirk.

"I said ye..." The dark haired girl mumbled again.

"Hina-chan, we can't hear you. Do you want to make Hiashi watch as you slowly dissect the skin from his body and methodically feed it to the elders of your clan?" Ino prodded some more.

Hinata huffed. "Yes! Ugh, you two always know how to sweet talk me!"

"That's my girl!" Naruto called and scooped the smaller girl into his arms, getting that cute 'eep' from her that definitely fit their timeline.

Though they had spoken the entire time while walking through town, they had once again activated the jutsu from earlier. Not a single person in the village knew what they had truly been talking about. As such, they reached Naruto's apartment with nothing more than several dark glares and confused gazes towards the lovely young ladies with him.

Inside of the apartment, Hinata and Ino were mildly surprised to see the blonde had cleaned up. It had taken them over 1000 years to make him realize that keeping up appearances only needed to go so far especially since no one had really visited his apartment. He insisted on just in case people broke in, he wanted them to think he was still a lazy good for nothing. They knew he just didn't like cleaning. They had him use clones to beat into him that cleaning was the right thing to do. Every now and then, he still left a mess no matter what, sometimes just to spite them.

The two girls moved into Naruto's small living room and immediately began to undress. Once they were both completely naked, they sat back to back and awaited the jinchuriki. Naruto returned moments later with several scrolls and ink. He himself was shirtless. All three blushed as they looked on each other. Only Naruto felt anything more than slight arousal however. His body and mind were both over billions of years old while the girls before him only had the minds of their previous selves.

He started with Ino, carefully painting intricate lines, starting from her face. As he made it down to her neck, feeling her shiver at his touch, he knew that her body being on the cusp of puberty was starting to react in ways it never had before. It was predominant as he painted over and around her breast and nipples, making her squirm in displeasure. As he reached her naval and put the most intricate seal there, she was panting heavily, her eyes lidded with fear. Her body sent signals that only her adult mind could comprehend and it contradicted with what her present mind knew.

Hinata looked on in both apprehension and longing. She wanted the feeling of wanting Naruto's touch, not just his company. Their collective minds were always at war with their present state until Naruto could restore their energy, and in turn, their bodies. As Naruto channeled a small bit of chakra into the seal on Ino's stomach, Hinata turned back around, knowing she was next.

He repeated the process with Hinata, getting the same reactions as he had with Ino. Her breast were just a tad larger than Ino's, seeing as she wouldn't start developing as much until midway through their final year of the academy. Still, he had to add a few more lines to her chest, much to her pleasure and discomfort at the same time.

Once Naruto activated Hinata's seal, he laid on his back and allowed the girls their turn. Hinata straddled his waist first, her pure sex pressed against his growing erection through his pants. She frowned as the feeling was still a bit uncomfortable due to her body. She wanted to do so much more with him. Instead of focusing on what she couldn't have at the moment, she began to form a larger seal around the one already around his naval. As she worked on that, Ino sat over his face, giving him a view she knew he loved.

The feeling of his breath on her sent shivers down her spine. Again, her body shook with more fear than her mind had. She hated it, every single time. But it was fine. As soon as this process was done, that fear would be replaced with absolute pleasure.

Naruto himself only glanced minutely at Ino's sex. He wouldn't touch her just yet, showing his godlike self-control. He felt the platinum blonde painting a copy of the seal Hinata was painting on his chest, upside down. The girl was even able to copy the Kyubi's seal while upside down on the center of his chest. It was with practiced ease even, and the feeling of both girls delicate brushes made him shiver in excitement.

After only a few more seconds, the girls were finished. They moved from their lover and allowed him to stand. The feeling of his chakra making the seals about his body spring to life overwhelmed them. It prevented them from rising, letting them know exactly how weak their current bodies really were. Naruto smirked at the annoyed looks on the girls. He moved to Ino again first before pulling the girl to her feet.

He pulled the girl forward and held her close, their bodies pressed together. The ink from their glowing seals formed a bigger array between them perfectly. Naruto took Ino's lips as his own and Ino's weakness tripled, her legs giving way. He held her steady as she moaned into the kiss. The glow of their seals became a blinding light until the lines began to move from Naruto onto Ino's entire body. Soon enough her weakness abated and she was able to stand on her own, wrapping her arms around Naruto's neck and deepening the kiss; their tongues probing the others mouth with familiarity.

When they pulled away, Naruto's body was free of the seals. He stepped aside and allowed Ino to move to Hinata with her body glowing with the bigger seal array. Just as Naruto had, Ino pulled Hinata into a deep embrace and kiss. Their bodies pressed together, the seal array began to spread onto Hinata's body, making the one on her even more intricate just as Ino's. The two's tongues probed each others more gently than they would with Naruto. Naruto knew the girls liked each others kiss a little more than his own. They kept it a secret for over a century why and the clueless boy still didn't know the answer.

As Hinata and Ino pulled apart, their bodies shown with an outline of their older selves. The images formed a sort of chakra cloak around the two before fading into their being, along with the glowing seals about them. With the process finally done, both Ino and Hinata once again took each others lips, falling back onto Naruto's cough. The apprehension their bodies had been feeling turned to sheer heat and want. Naruto could see their thighs glistening with their lust already as they sucked at each others skin and fondled one another.

The primal arousal he was feeling grew as he watched them, hearing their moans of pleasure and the sound of their sucking. His pants tightened as his manhood painfully strained against the fabric. Before he could disrobe to join them, however, a knock on the door froze all three of them.

Without hesitation, they began to dress and sense for the person. Feeling that it was the Third Hokage, they all relaxed. The girls looked to Naruto with looks of confusion. He nodded, letting them know the old man had probably been watching them. They let out sighs, more annoyed than worried. There was nothing the man could do to them at this point now. All they would do was wait to see what Naruto would do.

The Third Hokage stood in front of Naruto's apartment door with a stern gaze. He was beyond worried now, and though he had initial plans of simply asking Naruto what was wrong, the energies he had just felt from within his apartment had him ready to signal for ANBU on a moments notice.

He had checked up on Naruto with his crystal ball before leaving his office. He saw him walking through town with the Hyuga and Yamanaka heiress again, going towards his apartment. He hated that his crystal ball could not play sound, though he realized once they reached their destination that they had used the same jutsu from earlier. As much as he wanted to give Naruto the benefit of the doubt, his actions along with the girls were starting to send up red flags.

What made things worse were the powerful chakra spikes he felt. They were beyond anything he had ever felt, even from his own sensei the 2nd Hokage or that of the Kyubi. Even more, they were so controlled that the only reason the old kage even felt them was because he was standing directly in front of the jinchuriki's door. He would have been a lot more worried if the feeling was malicious. He didn't feel the Kyubi's energy, though that didn't mean much honestly. If anything, he was more confused that the predominant thing he felt from the spike was lust. The energy made his mind drift to the books written by his former student, but he shook the thought away. Something was going on with his favorite blonde. His irrational care for the boy made him constantly think of a positive to the situation, whatever the situation may have been.

With slight trepidation, the Hokage knocked on the door, feeling the energies of lust freeze up. A small smirk formed on his face. So the trio were getting more frisky than their ages showed and he had interrupted. He didn't exactly approve, but since it was Naruto he would turn a blind eye.

Several seconds later, his smile faded as he took in the inquisitive look of the blonde before him. Naruto wore a black tank top with his orange pants. His hair seemed a bit more shaggy than normal. "Good evening Naruto-kun."

"Hello jiji. I know you have questions, so you might as well come in. Tell your ANBU if they set foot in my house, they'll regret it."

Naruto's tone was followed with him glancing at the three hidden ANBU about the apartment hall and across the street. Sarutobi wasn't really surprised Naruto had found them. Whatever was happening was numbing him to surprises for the most part. Something was up, as he had kept repeating to himself, and it would be best if he didn't overreact right away. Instead, he nodded to his ANBU and entered Naruto's apartment alone.

He took note of the two girls he expected to see, both with annoyed gazes. They refused to make eye contact with the Kage and figured they were just upset he had interrupted them. Naruto walked past him and stood closer to the girls, folding his arms and awaiting the old man to speak.

"Hello Yamanaka-chan, Hy-"

"Hinata, please, Hokage-sama. I don't care for my clan name." Hinata called tersely, still without making eye contact. She fidgeted in her seat, the small amount of ki he felt from the girl coming and going just as fast as her reply. He saw the blonde mind walker place a hand upon her thigh, comforting her. They shared a warm smile between each other that made Sarutobi smile just a bit.

"Alright then, Hinata-chan." The Hokage replied with his sagely warmth. Hinata and Ino looked at him in mild surprise before sharing the smile themselves. It seemed they hadn't expected him to be so polite after walking in on them.

Turning back to Naruto, he saw the sad look in his eyes. He wondered why the boy looked upset. "Is everything alright Naruto-kun?" He asked. Naruto shook his head.

"Jiji, just ask the questions you want. The sooner you know the truth, the better for everybody."

More red flags went up. "Why don't you just explain everything to me, Naruto-kun. My questions would likely lead us in circles as I don't know what exactly to ask."

Naruto smiled. The old man was as smart as ever. Good thing they had gone through this same scenario not even 100 years ago. "First and foremost, me, Hinata-chan, and Ino-hime are from the future. And by future, I mean multiple futures because we've gone back in time more times than any of us can count. Each time we enter a slightly altered timeline and rarely we get one we've been too before."

Naruto continued on to explain about Chaos and anything else he felt like letting the old man in on. When he got to the part about him and the girls committing mass murder, however, the fear he saw in the old man's eyes let him know their short time of peace was probably going to be over really soon.

On the Hokage's part, he initially thought Naruto was simply playing a prank on him. However, Naruto flared his chakra, along with the girls, and shared knowledge that no doubt couldn't have come from anywhere but the future. The red flags had become blaring sirens.

His mind was racing with the information. From what he could tell, the children...in look only he knew now, had no qualms about destroying any and everything around them. The feel of their chakra and the power they exerted was not a threat. It was a warning that if they wanted, they could and would take him out with little to no effort.

Looking at the blonde before him, he swallowed the lump in his throat. This was not the child he had grown to love as a grandson. He was what he had hoped he would never grow into. "I can not allow you three to have your way."

Another flare of their chakra made the Hokage freeze up. "You don't have a choice, jiji." Naruto said sadly. "I already promised the girls we would fuck this timeline over. I wanted to see you first, to see how you felt about the me here. I'm glad you looked after me, though shit still happened. I understand you were busy as Hokage and couldn't be there all the time. Because of that, we wanted to give you the choice. Would you rather die now so you don't have to watch what we're going to do, or do you want to just let us do our thing and ignore what's happening."

His heart sank. Naruto frowned deeper too at seeing the horror upon his grandfather's face.

Sarutobi looked into Naruto's eyes and saw just a small hint of regret in them. However, he knew that the boy had most likely killed him plenty of times over. One more time wouldn't mean much to him.

"Naruto, I'm sorry you have had to go through what you have. Not just from this life, but every lifetime you've had to live. I wish I-"

"Jiji...we've been through this too many times. I'm not in the mood for it." Naruto scratched the back of his head. The Third Hokage saw a small tear at the corner of the blondes eye. He was faking his emotions to a degree. He would feel regret if he went through with what he was planning. Looking at the girls, he knew they would as well, the solemn looks of acceptance upon their faces. They cared for the old man, but they cared about their own happiness so much more. For them, they would see the old man again anyway.

"At least promise me this." Hiruzen started. Naruto, Ino, and Hinata looked up, already knowing what he was going to ask. He let out an exasperated chuckle. "Whatever my word means to you three, in your next life, live normally. Please."

The girls immediately nodded. Naruto let the single tear from his eye fall as he nodded as well. "We will jiji. See you in the next life."

Sarutobi let out a sigh and pulled out his pipe. He lit it and closed his eyes as he felt Naruto's overwhelming chakra freeze him in place. He couldn't move if he wanted to. It was strange though. Even knowing his life was about to be ended, and at the hands of someone he loved dearly at that, he felt peace. The peace that he thought he would never know again. Even if only slightly, he was happy to experience the peace, if only for a second. In the next instant, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was only for a moment as the feeling faded to a debilitating cold. Soon enough, he felt nothing.

Naruto lowered the Hokage's body to the ground, his hand going right through his chest and heart, giving him a quick and almost painless death. He looked into the face of the old man, his current timelines small voice screaming within his subconscious. The small, almost unnoticeable pain of regret within his chest let him know he was still human, if only just a little. He and the girls did enjoy killing, including the people they cared about. But never would they say they felt nothing when they did so.

The hands on his back and shoulders brought him a bit more comfort. The girls hugged him from behind, their own auras bellying a little of the emotions he felt. "We're sorry Naruto-kun." Ino spoke into his ear, placing a chaste kiss on his neck. "You'll be able to spend time with him in the next timeline..."

"I know." Naruto called, beginning to calm down. They stayed silent for a few moments, simply enjoying each others warmth. After they felt Naruto's emotions level out, they moved away. "Ino...get his memories."

The platinum blonde nodded and moved to sit next to the Hokage's head. She placed his head upon her lap and began to extract his memories and emotions. The process only took a few minutes and once it was done, Ino held a basketball sized orb of white chakra. "He really was a pure Hokage. No taint within him at all."

She handed the orb over to Naruto. The boy closed his eyes and placed the orb to his chest, taking in everything that made Hiruzen Sarutobi himself. Afterward, the Hokage's body began to crumble into dust. Naruto shivered once the process finished and he opened his eyes tiredly.

"Hikari bunshin." Naruto called and flared one hand sign. The technique was the Miracle Clone jutsu. Using the energy of the person he had absorbed, Naruto could literally make almost perfect replicas of them. The clone itself was still Naruto, however, it was under a permanent henge. As well, it held all the properties of a real life person. The only thing it couldn't do was reproduce sexually. The only way to dispel it was to kill it like an actual person. It could be treated at a hospital and everything. "Take the clothes and head back to the Hokage Tower." Naruto instructed. The Hokage clone nodded and departed.

After he was gone, Ino and Hinata began to prepare to leave as well. After the unexpected start to their new lives, they weren't in the mood to fuck or even make love. They would let Naruto prepare himself for the rest of the deaths that were sure to come. They themselves had to take care of things at their own homes.

"We'll see you tomorrow Naruto-kun." Hinata whispered and kissed him gently.

"Get some sleep. The sooner we do this the sooner we can move on." Ino finished, kissing him as well. Naruto gave them a weak smile and nodded.

"Thanks. I'll see you later."

With their departure, Naruto leaned back and sighed.

"The moment you don't regret your actions will make you worse than the monster you already are." Kurama called once they were alone. He usually didn't bother him when he was with the girls. The girls were able to speak to him too, but after losing to Chaos, he would rather give them their space.

"...We're already only a step away. I don't think it makes much of a difference."

"Then will you kill Ino and Hinata, and let them remain dead?"

"Of course not!" Naruto snapped, but instantly knew what Kurama was doing. The jinchuriki groaned at the triumphant energy the fox exuded. "Alright, fine. We know it still doesn't justify any of the things we do though."

"Is talking about it right now going to change you back to how you were before? Is it going to stop you from killing people?"

Naruto paused. Of course it wouldn't. They could never truly go back. Even in the timelines where they did their best to protect everyone who deserved it. At the end of it all, it would only be something they did for fun or on a whim. "We're little monsters in this timeline. No point in regretting it for too long. We'll repent in the next life."

"That's all you can do, kit. Now go to sleep. There's going to be a lot of bloodshed in the morning."

I feel I should constantly warn people about this story just so you don't get a false sense of security. So I'll just say every arc has its own genres. This one is of course drama and horror. The next will probably be your typical adventure and romance with some humor themes. I plan on doing everything with this fic if I can and that means EVERYTHING. Did I forget to mention I'm a yaoi fangirl? And I'm polyamorous. And a pervert...you should see where I'm going with this.

Until the next one!
