Azureking: Hello all, some more problems have happen to me and my family. Sigh, its like god hates me. My sister got into a car accident and thankfully was safe and sound. But now we're down to two cars, on of which is about to break down. Sigh so things are going to be a little hard for me to write here and there.

Well enough of the sad news, time for some Q and A.

Skull Flame: Still a harem buddy! :-)

Fox Boss: The sword will be the same, but you can PM the idea we can discuss it in length.

CHAPTER START~!

The blonde was walking around the city smiling at the life it had, the Rave Master didn't really like big areas too often due to his fear of women. But he enjoyed simple walks like this… he felt happy as if walking with his old friends again…

"I wonder if I should get some candy?" Naruto wonder out loud as he felt his urge for sugar to be satisfied. "Oh man… I never felt this hungry in a long time…"

Looking around for any shops Naruto smiled, as just walked up to one. "Hi, what's the sweetest candy you got?" He smiled at the cashier who was bent over, until the person stood up. His smile became stiff and awkward… why? it was a woman. The boy breathing slowly became short until he took a step back and spoke, "I-If possible anything Eastern type candies?"

The woman nodded as she look around, "We got tons, I take it you want the cheap stuff. Maybe some more tasty stuff if you're looking to spend more jewels on them."

The boy nodded with a slight nervous nod, "Anything...like an adult would like." Naruto smiled remembering the one friend who made him get a sweet tooth for candy.

"Let me see here." The woman said as she turned around and looked through the shelves.

'Control…!' Naruto thought as he suddenly grip his left arm with his right hand, using pain to calm his nerves. 'Get over your...fear!'

"Hmmmmm… A-ha! Here we are." The woman said as she turned around and presented a small pouch of candy. "These should do. 10 Jewels."

"15 jewels, take the five as a tip for choosing them." Naruto slowly gave the coins, but as soon as the hand came near him. "Ah!" He drops his cash on the floor.

"Whoops I'll get that!" The cashier said quickly gathering the bills. "You should see a doctor if you're shaking is getting that bad."

Smiling weakly Naruto agreed, "Yes, I believe my illness is getting to me. Ah, do you know the nearest magic store is? I need for stationary for mail."

"Oh, just two blocks east of here. You shouldn't miss it."

Walking quickly out of the store, Naruto sighed as he leaned into a wall, "Ahh… haa...haaa… haaa… that was too close… I couldn't breathe…" Taking deep breaths the boy looked down with sad eyes. "Gomen, Okita… Oda… Luca… I'm still scared. Guess I can't get over it still."

Taking out a candy from his bag, "Today's mood is set by…"

Naruto smiled as he walked to the store while doing his normal fun habit. When he was a kid Naruto would buy a bag full of random treats and decide his entire day would be set on one candy treat. Taking out the one he gave a quizzical look, "Hmmm?" Looking at the object in between his thumb and index finger.

This candy was strange. It looks delicious but…

Taking it in his mouth, his eyes widen as he puckered his lips tightly, "Ughhhhhh... sour…!" He took it out of his mouth, "I hate sour balls." He complained, "So a sour day? Great… just what I need." But he saw the store, perhaps this was a better turn of events. Passing into the door he spoke, "Hello I request some magic papers for making… making… making…" His eyes widen as he repeated his words when seeing a woman in a provocative pose.

She was a young girl of seventeen years with brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that's tied by a blue ribbon in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose and she also has a buxom and curvaceous body. Her outfit consists of a white sleeveless blouse with blue outlining the blouse and a blue mini-skirt always having a belt that, held a set of keys and a whip with a heart-shaped end. And she wore black, leather high-heeled boots.

"Oi...Naru-san~! Pick up your jaw~!"

Naruto shake his head when his mind wandered to the point that he heard his friends voice, "Umm, forgive me, I'll wait outside." He said before closing the door again as he sighed heavily. "Dammit, maybe I am gonna have a sour day…"

"WAIT IT ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" The girl quickly got off the counter waving her hands frantically trying to fix the misunderstanding.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Thank you." Naruto smiled as the old man passed him the papers he wanted. Cradling the papers his arms, a shy smile appeared that made the old man pass out from the cuteness. "Uh… sir?" he asked worried if the man die for some reason...

"Wow..." The girl smiled at the feat, to get reaction she usually has to wear outfits and even try show some skin to get that reaction. "You're deadly with looks."

"Hmm? How so?" He asked looking back at her, "Miss… Lucy was it?"

"Yes. That's right." She nodded.

"Sorry that I thought… well what I thought." He apologizes as he walked out the store.

"W-Wait hold up!" Lucy called out going after him.

Naruto eyes widened as she was about to touch him, moving his feet quickly and perfect movement, evading her touch, making Lucy nearly fall on her face, "I-I'm sorry~!" He cried out.

"Owie…" Lucy muffled. "Man… so much for asking directions to Fairy Tail…"

*DING!*

A light bulb in Naruto's head lit up when he heard that. "Uh, perhaps I have heard wrong but did you say Fairy Tail?"

"Um… yes?"

"Wow uh… funny you should say that but… I'm trying to find Fairy Tail too,"

"Really?!" She said standing before him, earning a light blush from him. "Aren't they the best?"

"Uh…" Taking a step back to regain his mindset he nodded, "I believe so, my friend wanted to join them. So I would like to meet them."

"Yes! Maybe we can find the Salamander while we're at it!"

"Salamander?"

"He's the strongest Fire Mage in Fairy Tail and it'd be so awesome if we met him!" Lucy squealed with delight.

'What is with this girl?' Naruto thought with a sweat drop.

"Salamander…" Naruto twirled a stand of hair cutely as he smiled, "I heard the rumors that he is a great fire mage. I believe I can see a few reasons why."

"Right?!" Lucy's eyes sparkled. "So what did you say? We can find the Salamander together!"

"Perhaps but the odds of finding him in this whole country is rather vast," He explained.

And this was true, not counting the other continents that his parents and...those women used to live, the odds of finding that Fire Mage is going to be rather bad.

"Salamanders here?" A random woman voice screeched.

"Gh!" Naruto cringed upon hearing the woman screech.

"What?" Lucy asked with a smile, "Let's go! Or else we miss him!"

"R-Right." Naruto laughed sheepishly before the two of them headed out to look for this Salamander. 'What have I gotten myself into?' He groaned in his thoughts.

The two blondes entered to see a huge crowd of women around them as the male blonde teen paled at the amount of women. 'Stay calm… stay calm…'

"Hey, are you okay?" Lucy asked worriedly. "You look pale."

"H-Huh?!" Naruto snapped out of it to look at her.

The girl was about to touch his shoulder but Naruto moved away, as he pointed to the center, "There, I think we find him."

"Really?! Where?!" Lucy gasped suddenly looking in the direction when he pointed.

The boy eyes watched as a purple haired man was dancing in the air with purple flames, almost forgetting the women Naruto eyes show rather a bored look, "He isn't Salamander." He said in a disappointed tone. "Let's go." However realizing that Lucy wasn't moving he turn back, "Lucy?" Looking at her she was blushing and had hearts in her eyes. "Lust spell?"

He then look towards the purple haired man and saw something in his ring finger that was glowing. "That ring… is he controlling these women with that?"

"Igneel!"

Naruto thoughts broke off as he watched a pink haired boy enter the crowd and in front of the man, "Wait...you're not Igneel!"

"Natsu?" Naruto blinked.

The blonde eyes watched as the girls' eyes started to turn into angry silts, 'This isn't good.' The warrior thought as fangirls are way worse then the woman he is use to. "I better nip this in the bud."

A small pale green jolt of electricity flow out of his left hands fingers, as it crawled in the ground and climb up the fake Salamander, "Boom." Naruto whispered before bending his knees.

CRACK~!

The purple haired man gripped his hands as he felt his ring shattered, "What the hell?"

"Trying to charm these women is one thing but controlling them is another." Naruto frowned. Grabbing the pink haired boy and then Lucy -while trying not to pass out or scream- he ran like hell when the girls went to the fake Salamander.

"Hey what are you doing?! Let me go you-" Natsu snapped only to see Naruto was dragging him. "Hey you're that guy!"

"Did you have any idea the insane thing I just did!?" Naruto said demonically as his body gain a dark and dreadful aura as his hair lifted up making him look like a monster. "DO YOU!?"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!" Lucy shrieked in fear.

"Oi, what are you-! What's with the mirror?!" Natsu said as he went backwards as Naruto walked prepare to hunt him.

BACK AT KONOHA

XXXXXXXXXX

Ruka was lying on the rooftop garden of her family compound while smoking... she hated the crude habit that she recently gained. She takes out the cancer stick out of her lips and flick off the ashes beside her, "...Ahh..." Each day was the same...self-loathing, killing, smoking, pleasuring herself and eating... only that her little servant brother is missing.

Her daily routine might have not changed, but each passing day starts feeling more hollow and pointless. She hates it how she can never be as strong as her twin sister who's always been able to beat her in almost everything. Despite how hard she tried to surpass Kaede, she always remained in the second place...she despises that and thus the self-loathing.

Usually when she is in a foul mood she takes on missions that require lots of killing so she could go on a killing spree to vent her frustrations. Now it's smoking…funny…she used to buy a pack of cigarettes as a souvenir whenever she visited a different village on a mission. Now, she needs a pack a day just to stay calm. She even tried using more pleasurable means to relieve her stress, but no matter how many times she used her fingers, toys or even whores, she can't climax anymore! She even went as far as to ask her twin for help when they both went on a weeklong mission, but alas six straight hours of scissoring or tongue licking could not help her release her stress...

Ruka bit her lips as she put her arm over her eyes...Naruto...

She missed those days where she would return home after work to see her little brother standing at the doorway smiling. He always cared for her wellbeing. When she was hungry, he would prepare her the most tasty meals he was capable of, when she was tired, he would prepare her a bath with the perfect temperature to soak in and fresh clean clothes awaited her whenever she was done…and… when she had "urges"… she would use him as a cuddle toy. His frail body was just so soft and smooth that she couldn't help herself but want to hold him close to her.

She remembers the time when she first saw her little brother as a baby... he was so perfect, like a little angel that was given to her by the heavens themselves. That innocent smile he would give her while reaching out for a hug, he was pure perfection. She wanted to have him all to herself. When her mothers were busy with work and her sisters were training, she took it upon herself to take care of her precious baby...not a single day she ever regretted that time. She giggles to herself remembering that one time she even breastfeed him...although she was too young to understand that she couldn't produce milk yet, it still made her feel more closer to him.

But as years went on her kunoichi career required more and more of her time and effort. That in return meant she would have to spend less and less time with her brother during the day. That frustrated her, so she often had temper issues during combat and it would result in her maiming her targets before killing them. Then when Kaede started becoming better than her, her temper grew to such levels that torturing enemies wasn't enough to cool it down and when she would return home, she would need some sort of outlet…. and Naruto was just so conveniently there. The pent up aggression overwrote her sense of sympathy and attachment so he ended up being her punching bag. That continued for about a year till she got bored of it and decided to spice up her little hobby by making Naruto…pleasure… her a little. A grope there, a lick there, of course she didn't allow him to do it on her more… "private areas".

That again, continued for a full year until she decided that since she allowed him to touch her, it's was time that he returned the favor by allowing her to do that to him and as a big sister she had the right to be rougher to him. It's her right as an elder sibling.

"Dammit...why did you have to run away…Naruto…" Ruka grumbled to herself. It's starting to get harder to control her emotions and soon cigarettes won't cut it. There is only one person who can bring her life back on its tracks, the one who can bring her piece of mind and make her whole again… the one who can release her body from its tension.

"You're like my drug..." she mumbled. Yes, he is almost like a drug to her that she couldn't get enough of, and now that he's gone she's gone into a severe withdrawal. She needs him, he's hers, and she needs him dammit! "He is mine...all mine!" Ruka spoke out loud with a hint of madness in her voice.

WITH NARUTO

XXXXXXXXXX

The trio was sitting in a restaurant, "May I take your orders?" A cute girl walked up to them, holding a paper pad.

"U-Uh…" Naruto stuttered.

"One of every item you got!" Natsu grinned.

"We can't pay that much!" Lucy cried out comically.

"I got it, as an apology for flipping out." Naruto said as Natsu paled.

"He made me watch what he did to me…" He cowered in fear at the event.

"V-Very well. Please excuse me." The maid said before going back to tell the chefs their order.

"Oh also a salmon special!" Naruto quickly raise his voice.

"YES SIR~!"

"Why do they always yell?" Naruto chuckled as he never understands waitresses.

"So anyways," Natsu got out. "Never thought I'd see you around in town."

"Yeah same here. How's that motion sickness of yours?" Naruto said with worry in his eyes. "I take it that it wasn't too bad?"

"Ugh, don't remind me! Happy was supposed to help but he bailed out on me." The pink haired teen said with a blue face as he remembers what happened.

"Happy?"

"My blue cat friend."

"Oh, I guess that's normal." Naruto simply said as Lucy looked at him with a shocked look.

"That's considered normal for you?!"

"Well I did spend my life with former amnesiac women, two Dragonrace members, a legendary hero, a silver skill user who flirts, and a talking penguin."

"Uh… what?" Lucy blinked.

"My family…" Naruto trailed off. "They're… oh well… I haven't talked to them in a long while."

"Oh… I'm sorry…" She apologized.

"No, its not like they abused…" The Rave Master's eyes widen in horror as he started to cough violently almost throwing up. "Cough! Gah! Hurk! Sorry, must've been something I ate…"

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked.

"Y-Yeah, fine. Cough." Naruto said.

"Wow, and I thought I had it bad." Natsu said.

"Yeah…" the male blonde teen agreed, "Anyway I was wondering if you two know where's Magnolia? I need to head for that town soon."

"Oh yeah? That's where I'm heading." Natsu said.

"Ah, so what's the train heading there? Maybe I can catch the next one soon."

"Ughhhh… no, please don't say it." Natsu groaned. "Just thinking about it, makes me sick…"

"Sorry, but do you know?" He persisted hoping to get the information.

"Well… I guess the next train comes in a few hours or so…"

"The- ah, I know which one. Oh the foods here." Naruto smiled gently as the waitress and her co-workers all came to bring the food. He smiled as he got a wooden plate with a freshly cook salmon with a small square of garlic butter. "Hmm the flavor is well done. Not as good as her cooking but well enough."

"Sounds like you had a good chef." Lucy said.

"No, Okita-chan couldn't make anything besides eastern type food." Naruto covered his hand . "Her sushi though… oh, it was heaven on earth."

"Hmhm." Lucy giggled with a teasing smile. "Oh was she a girlfriend-"

Slam~!

The restaurant looked to see Naruto standing up before he blushed, "I uh… sorry!" he quickly sat back down with a flustered look. "S-Sorry… I uh, she… wasn't my girlfriend."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry." Lucy apologized as she saw Natsu stuffing his face. "Was she… did she…"

"No, she was like a big sister. Serious but goofy when she had her moments." The boy eyes became half lidded remembering the woman he met. "But my first love is my only sadly…"

"Oh… what was her name?" Lucy asked.

"Luca… she was…" Naruto smiled sadly. "She was the kindest soul I've ever met in my whole entire life."

Natsu lifted his head at the mention of the name, "Luca...huh, I think Igneel mention her."

"W-What?" Naruto's eyes widened. "You know Luca?"

"No, my dad told me something like. 'Ugh some brat nearly clip my wings, Natsu you better not mess with women like her!'" Natsu said in a low voice as Lucy giggles.

"Sounds like a rough dad."

"Wait Igneel…isn't he"

"My dad is a-"

"A dragon?" The two males said in unison. "How do you know about Luca/Igneel!?"

"Luca told me that she face a fire dragon when she left for a bit." Naruto explained before grabbing Natsu. "Now you tell me how Igneel knows Luca or else I get the mirror and restart the torture again!" He swore getting out a hand mirror as the pink haired boy turn white, lifting his hands up in hopes to stop Naruto.

"H-He was bragging one day and I ask if he ever lost. And Igneel mention a long haired woman with a dark looking sword, beat him but only thanked him for the experience." Natsu stutter as he saw the dark aura around Naruto's body once more, "And he said that that was the only human to ever beat a dragon without Dragon Slayer Magic!"

"You were raised by a dragon!?"

The two look at Lucy who looked horrified at the fact of the teen boy being raised by one of the most legendary creatures. "Yeah, I thought Igneel was here and Happy and me came down to look for him."

"Out of curiosity, did you think that it wouldn't be strange to see all those folks not freaking out if there was dragon here?" Naruto asked as Natsu gain a look of realizations.

"Uh… come to think of it, that would be weird if that happened."

"So now you noticed." Naruto deadpanned.

"Damn! So much for finding him here in this town!" Natsu banged his fist on the table.

Smiling he pat Natsu's head in a brotherly fashion, "There, there, it's okay. The wait would be worth it…" he said as the pink head boy nearly cried at the kindness.

"Ghhhhhhh… are you sure?"

"Trust me… it builds character." Naruto nodded assuring. "Sometimes thinking things through is better than doing the...right thing I suppose. Well while I enjoy the company I must get my ticket. Goodbye." Digging in his pocket for the right amount, he placed the bills down alarming the young female woman that he had such amounts in his clothes. She wanted to ask if it was alright to take it, but when looking up he was already gone.

"I hope to meet him again he's a nice guy to be with."

"NOM, NOM, NOM!"

Deadpanning at the pink haired boy's savage way of eating, Lucy couldn't help but smile at his easy going life. "Well I should go too, it's been a nice and interesting way to meet you Natsu."

Back with Naruto he was walking down the streets.

"I have to do some fishing for supplies down the road." He said walking away but frown as he felt the people around him joking and smiling. 'Fools don't realize that Luca save them all...arrogant and foolish people.'

Walking away to head to his life...the life that Luca saved for this ungrateful world. The swordsman glared he stop outside smiling sweetly like he would for the woman who saved him…

XXXXXXXXXX

AFTERNOON

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruto was smiling as he was spending his time sitting, and fishing-

"Naruto...don't lose hope in others…"

The blonde gripped his pole harder as he heard her voice...but it wasn't hers...rather his own mind. "I paid my mistakes…" turning his head to see nothing the blonde felt bad...its been years since his mistakes for what happened to Luca and he can't take his own life knowing it won't make up anything.

Looking at the reflection of his face...he looks like a young man just started to become a man, but really he was older than he look. He glared at that image knowing that it was because of his bloodline making his longevity and youth extend...until-

He placed a hand over his heart with a sad smile, almost letting himself cry at the remainder of what Luca did for him. Naruto stare at his reflection with a tired look, "I feel more like a stone, unable to change for years." He then looked back up in the sky and his mind showed an image of the girl he had loved so much. "Luca…" He muttered sadly. "Oh how I wish I could take everything back, then you wouldn't have to die…"

Standing up he looked up wondering if God… if… if… is that a ship? "What the fuck-?"

CRASH~!

Lucy comically shivered as she almost died when her Spirit cause them crash into the beach of the town. "Gahhh! What the heck just happened?!"

She turn her head to see Naruto head poking out from what it seems to be a large area that wasn't hit. "N-Naruto? You… didn't see that did you?"

"See what?" Naruto asked, before seeing a… mermaid? "Is… what I think it is?"

"Ugh, Lucy next time summon me- Well hello there!" The woman noticed Naruto who blushed at her predatory look. Naruto focus on her body in hopes to avert his fear, she resembles a royal blue mermaid. She has a long, blue fishtail, light blue hair that reaches up to her waist, and a large bust. She has blue eyes that seem to have no pupils. This odd woman wears a revealing dark blue bikini top and on each arm, she has a golden armlet and bracelet. She also has a headband, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rests right under her collarbone. The woman also wields an urn under her left arm.

"Eep!" He squeaks as she cup his chin to look at his face more closely. "P-Please remove your hand...please?"

"Hm?" the mermaid tilted her head. "What's wrong? Why can't I look at a good-looking young man such as yourself? My my, you look rather dashing in that outfit."

'I don't like when women come strongly at you…'

Naruto had to put down the urge to smile when he heard Luca's voice for whenever women try to allure him. However his eyes turn dark and serious as he pushed down the woman, "Be careful!" He warned as the spirit under him blush at his brashness before jumping once more to pounce on Lucy to save her from another block of debris from hitting her.

"Damn where the hell that came from?" He gritted. "You okay, Lucy?"

The girl under him copy the same as her spirit blushing while looking at his manly face as he looked for the reason why debris was being thrown about. Until his eyes became stoic and empty.

"So that's the reason why the boat is trashed?" He deadpanned as he saw a pink haired male flying about with flame-covered fists.

BOOOOOM~!

"You're dead!" Natsu roared out.

"Wait, Natsu? Why is he-"

"Heh. Now it all makes sense." Naruto said.

"Long story? That purple haired perv was kidnapping girls-" Lucy stopped as she saw a black aura around Naruto's body. "And… uh… uh… you okay? Wanna take a nap?" She comically suggested as Naruto tilted his hat downward.

"He did what?"

"He uh…"

"It was rhetorical. I heard you the first time." Naruto said as he gently put down Lucy. "Now stay here… I'm going to commit some murder or at the very least break some limbs."

"Wait wait wait! Don't go killing people!" Lucy freaked out.

Naruto however was already moving ahead as he unbuttons his suit and his inside vest to allow some breathing room for his body. As he moved the blue mermaid move towards Lucy, "You were planning on nabbing him?"

"Huh?! What do you mean?"

"Well he is cute. Are you planning on grabbing some of that cute ass?" The adult woman said with a perverted smile. "Cause mmmh… I would like to take a bite of those buns."

"Just what do you think you're doing?!"

"Tch, you're no fun!" She said before vanishing leaving Lucy confused and annoyed.

"Never knew Aquarius was such a pervert…" Lucy muttered.

Naruto however grabs Natsu with a dark look, "I'm taking over here." He warned dangerously at the idiot teen that just pouted at him.

"Hey what are you doing?! This is my fight! He's framed me for taking my identity!"

"NOW!" he screamed dragging Natsu closer to his face to make direct eye contact that made the pink haired man pale. While that single word echoed throughout the town, and the result was a shaky Natsu who gave a weak thumbs-up.

"H-Hai~" He weakly said watching the blonde move ahead, "Holy crap that guy might be scarier than Erza."

"Alright you piece of crap! Come out so I can break your limbs!" Naruto shouted.

The man did so, weather it was out of courage or sheer stupidity, Naruto didn't care. As the man walk up to the tallest junk pile, Naruto took out his candy bag and started to shift through it choosing a candy to eat as he waited for the man to talk. "So I heard you try to kidnap women?" He said taking out a pasty of some kind, but place it back to look for another.

"So what of it? They-" The man felt something wet on his cheek and touch it- "Tch, what?" Seeing red blood on his face, the man gapped at Naruto who vanish from his spot to appear to his right side. "How did-"

"Funny thing about the past… no matter how you want to conceal it… it will always pop up. Like my past on hunting little shits like you." He said turning his head darkly to glare at the man, the way his neck was twisted and his dead like eyes scare the man deeply.

"Hiiiiiiiiiii…" the man flinched in fear.

"By the way?" Naruto held up something that made the man eyes widen in horror. "This belongs to you?"

In his hands...was an arm...Bora looked down...and fainted as it was his…

Naruto chuckled as he dropped the appendage letting it vanish, "Idiot couldn't tell a simple illusion like that, shouldn't bother playing with the big boys."

"Wow you knocked him down without touching him!" Natsu said with a wide smile, watching Naruto demeanor change to a gentler aura rather than his cruel one.

"It was nothing really," Naruto shrugged. "So, what were you saying about this guy framing you?"

"This punk was using my name to pick up chicks! I was gonna kick his butt, then you stole-" Natsu was about to yell but Naruto's scary dead eyes appear making hitch his breath. "Uhh...nothing."

"Good, I hate people like him…" Naruto glared at the unconscious man, glancing at his neck with a dark look. 'Could be easy just to drop my Ten Commandments on his exposed jugular vein…' He thought before shaking his head to shake his head of those thoughts. 'Stop it, you're not a killer anymore. You're going to be a hero...like Luca always wanted to be.'

"So let me guess… you're the real Salamander." Naruto said.

"Yup!"

Nodding in approval, "Can you take me to Fairy Tail? If possibly I wish to-WHOA WAIT~!" Naruto said almost girlishly as Natsu drag him and somehow Lucy as an angry mob follows them. "Why are they chasing us?"

"I didn't do anything!" Lucy whined with comical tears flowing down her eyes.

"Well I did mess up the town, so…" Natsu grinned, before running off. "Let's get run for it!"

"Hey wait up!" Naruto shouted, running after him.

As they ran with the crazy destructive teen, Naruto smile brightly that was boyish and sweet. The smile that he wishes he could use in his earlier life. "Luca… our dreams are going to be realized."

Taking the paper out of the broken frame, and looked over it carefully. It was Naruto a bit younger with the woman next to him. "I miss you, my darling contradiction."

She was about to put it away...but quickly look around if anyone was near her...and after making sure she stuff the picture underneath her clothes.

"Well now isn't this interesting." She smiled wider, caressing the face of the photo Naruto with her index finger with a blush dusting her cheeks. The woman spoke with fondness in her tone, "I'm glad you're still around, Grimoire Heart's True Ace."

KONOHA

XXXXXXXXXX

Minako was sitting on the big gates of Konoha while drinking out of a huge sake bottle. It's ironic that she used to hate alcohol when she was younger and now drinking it is the only way to cope with her family member's loss, "God, I'm feeling sick... I wonder how Tsunade can drink so much of this stuff without puking her guts out."

She then looks at the setting sun and remembers the day Naruto disappeared. When her daughters barged into the red stained room, Ruka was the first one to break out of her shock. She tasted the red stains and found out that it wasn't blood at all, but liquefied chakra that is commonly used by master level seal users.

That had brought out Minako out of her sorrow at that moment as she concluded that her son wasn't dead, but was simply running away from his duties and responsibilities by getting his hands on some strange seal he knew nothing about. It wouldn't have been that hard to get one for him as she often left various experimental seal drawings on paper scattered around her office. Naruto simply could have taken one when he was cleaning the room. Perhaps he thought one of them would allow him to escape… but at first it didn't matter. She and the rest of her family knew that he has no one else to rely on outside of Konoha's walls and waited for him to come back.

...

...

...

But he didn't come back.

A month had passed since Naruto ran away and the Namikaze home that was once shining and smelled like the perfect fragrance of lavender and cherry blossoms, became dirty and smelled like old, expired ramen. The house was filled with dirty laundry, empty ramen cups and other trash. Naruto was always the one that took care of cleaning up everything and prepared them delicious meals. With him gone, none of the of the house females were willing to step in and do something about it.

During that same month Minako, Kushina and their daughters also became rather… antsy… without Naruto being there to relieve them of their pent up stress.

Finally, after another week passed by, they decided that enough is enough and that they needed their personal servant back. Minako ordered her best Anbu squad to do a secret search for Naruto and after doing so she waited…waited for a long time. Days turned into weeks, then into months, but not a single hint of Naruto was discovered anywhere… there was no hint that he even was alive anymore.

Minako's frustration grew because of it so she had an Inuzuka clan member volunteer to join in the search. She had found an old shirt in Naruto's room and fortunately it still had enough scent in it for the Inuzuka dogs to sniff it.

After more frustrating months of wait, the search team finally returned… but their report wasn't pleasing either. During the first month, the tracker dogs managed to get a whiff of a very, VERY feint scent of Naruto near Kumo's borders.

Minako at first was worried that some Kumo shinobi had kidnapped Naruto, but she sighed in relief when the Anbu team leader said that the scent led away from Kumo's border and deeper into the Fire country. Tracking the scent seemed to go well until they reached a small farm village where the scent stopped. The Anbu tried searching for any more scent in a 20-mile radius but found nothing. They did a secret throughout search of the small village, only to end up with the same results.

Then, for the next month the Anbu team tried searching for the missing blond by increasing the search radius around the village, but it was hopeless. It's as if the boy vanished into thin air when he arrived at the village.

After the Anbu team finished their report Minako dismissed them, but ordered them to not speak about the mission to anyone. Afterwards she informed her family of the failed search, and needless to say…. the reactions weren't the best ones.

Almost all of the family members started blaming one another for their servant's disappearance. Some of them even turned violent and it took both Minako's and Kushina's strengths to calm them down. The following day, all of the family females decided to continue Naruto's search in secret. Whenever they are out on missions, all of them will keep an eye open for Naruto when they have free time.

While an agreement was reached, the tensions didn't disappear. Kaede and Ruka practically isolated themselves from the family. They would barely talk to anyone and after missions they would either go to do some training or simply shut themselves in their rooms and come out only during meals or baths.

These tensions have continued for years and had somewhat lessened…..but only barely.

Minako takes one last swig of her sake, trying to make herself forget about her troubles...

...

...

...

But the more she thinks about Naruto…the more she wants him.

She will find him… and she will bring him back either willing…or not…

CHAPTER END!

Azureking: As you see, Naruto is more stable and dark. While wants to kill he is trying to put himself above doing that...for now. Some (you know who) people must really push his buttons to be killed brutally.

As you notice...no Lisanna… *dodges weapons* sorry for the new plot for Naruto's past. He never met her, or her siblings, sorry.

That isn;t the only factor as we will see a bit of Naruto's past next chapter and his first mission! Stay tune and review please, I need some good reviews for this bad after bad events in my life please.
