Hey everyone and welcome back to Serial Killer. Sorry for the delay but as I've stated this is taking the back burner if I am making progress on other fics. Regardless though, here's the next chapter.

To comment on some of the people stating that Naruto has been handling a good chunk of the profiling, keep in mind that in a dozen or so episodes the team has said, "These guys are even better profilers than we are. They can spot each other or any kind of prey that fits their interests easily. Pedophiles can pick out the one kid from the group that won't scream or fight when they're grabbed." So Naruto is naturally a better profiler than they are because his prey is the various serial killers across the world. Not saying he's infallible, as I had him be wrong in the LDSK chapter, but he's just more attuned to hunting these people than the team is.

Now, I don't think I have anything else to address from the reviews so let's get this show on the road.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Criminal minds nor do I own any characters from either item or anything else I add in just to give more context or background for Naruto.

Chapter 5: Hunter and Killer

Season 1, Episode 8: Natural Born Killer

Episode Quotes: "There is no hunting like the hunting of man. And those who have hunted armed men long enough, and liked it, never really care for anything else." –Hemingway

"The healthy man does not torture others. Generally, it is the tortured who turn into torturers." –Carl Jung

******** Naruto's Prison: LEMON WARNING ***********
"OH FUCK!" Kurenai moaned out as her lover fucked her while she sat on his lap and his hands played with her tits and pussy, which was due to the fact his dick was up her ass. She was dressed in simple black stockings and heels and nothing else while her clothes were on a nearby box, laid out neatly to keep them presentable for when she left. One could also see a tattoo above her pussy that read, "For Naruto's use only." She had gotten it to show she really did belong to him and had one other tattoo to show it as well.

The two had been going at it for quite a while, pushing five hours, and it was evidenced by them being covered in sweat and Kurenai's pussy leaking his cum as Naruto rubbed it into her. Neither cared of course since Kurenai enjoyed the feel and Naruto was having too much fun teasing and playing with Kurenai… plus she'd "properly" clean his fingers afterwards.

Naruto then began sucking and kissing along her neck and collarbone causing her to gasp and moan in pleasure as she held his head and kept bucking her hips as he thrusted up into her. This was their last round of fun for the night since Kurenai could only visit for so long as this WAS still a max security prison. Naruto was already the only prisoner with any kind of social visits and such a thing was bending or breaking some rules already.

Hence the reason why they were thoroughly enjoying it as they had the other times that Naruto had gotten a visit.

Kurenai then gasped as she was turned and placed on her hands and knees as Naruto gripped and slapped her ass while thrusting into her hard and fast, causing her to pant and gasp in pleasure. She loved to be fucked like this, while him making sweet love to her would make her orgasm into bliss, this was what she loved having him do the most. She just had to be careful when she indulged in it as Karin could only handle gentle and loving sex for the longest time. Of course, this was before Naruto was caught so there was that. It also gave Naruto a nice view of the tattoo above her ass that read, "Property of Naruto."

Kurenai then moaned as Naruto grabbed her hair and pulled her back as he kept thrusting and spanking her, "Enjoying this, you red eyed whore?" Naruto whispered in her ear making her squeal slightly as her pussy sprayed beneath her.

Naruto smirked at his second lover, despite her prim and proper appearance, Kurenai loved being talked to and used like a whore and being fucked in every way possible. Hence why he had fucked her ass, used her roughly, and talked down at her a lot of times and she loved it to the fullest. She wasn't the only kinky one either as each of his girls had kinks and desires in bed, though Karin was the hardest at times since pushing past her experience and the trauma made it take time for her to be comfortable entirely with sex and her desires.

Shaking those thoughts away as his first love would visit him when she was ready, Naruto pulled Kurenai back and kissed her while his other hand snaked down and began pinching her clit. Kurenai moaned lewdly into Naruto's mouth as she loved the sex he was giving her and continued to do it for another hour.

*******LEMON END*********

Naruto and Kurenai were redressed and simply laying with each other after cleaning up, mainly Kurenai's tongue licking herself and Naruto clean. However, a thump at the door signaled it was time to separate again making them both sigh before they stood and Naruto gave her one more intense kiss. After separating, they opened the door and Naruto was escorted back to his cell as Kurenai left.

However, she had an unexpected guest in the form of one Asuma Sarutobi following her, "Can I help you?" Kurenai asked with a bit of annoyance.

"I was just wondering if you'd like to get a drink? You know, spend some time with a real man and not some convict." Asuma stated in what he thought was a suave smooth tone since he didn't understand why a criminal like Naruto had a babe like Kurenai.

He then smirked as she giggled, "Wow, it's pretty hilarious that you think you actually measure up to him. Go find a more desperate woman since you're never getting me because you'll never be as good as him." Kurenai stated while now laughing as she walked away and Asuma glared at her retreating form as other nearby guards were stifling their laughter from seeing him get shot down so hard.

"I'll show you just how well I measure up, you stuck up bitch." Asuma thought angrily as he marched back to his post fuming.

Next Morning: Baltimore Maryland: Dimarco Household

Cop cars and officers were all around a house as Naruto got out of the car with the others aside from Morgan, who was already on site and waiting for them, "Glad you guys could make it, though I hope you haven't had breakfast yet." Morgan stated as he led the others into the house, "I was teaching an in-service at the Baltimore Field Office when this came in. Baltimore PD's seen some grisly stuff, but this is something else entirely." Morgan stated as he led them through the house.

"I'll bet, barely inside and I can already practically taste the copper in the air." Naruto stated as he looked at the different pictures on the wall and tables.

"Just wait till you see it. We've got two bodies identified as William and Helen Dimarco. Both retired, lived here for 37 years, no kids. Neighbor reported a white male 20-40 years old fleeing the scene, and I quote, "Hopped on those damn drugs" end quote." Morgan stated reading off the report to the team as he began to climb the stairs.

"Well we know how reliable eyewitness reports are." Elle stated knowing they couldn't fully trust that description.

"But it is a starting point nonetheless." Naruto added as he looked around intently, "Regardless, it sounds like a standard double homicide, why'd they call us?" Naruto asked before they reached the bathroom and he paused, "Oh." Naruto stated seeing the blood splatters, sprays, drops, pools, and more.

"Yeah, Massive Overkill doesn't begin to describe." Morgan stated as the team looked around and he pointed to a vanity where the largest pool of blood was, "Helen Dimarco was found here, tied to the chair in front of the vanity. No defensive wounds. Ligature marks around the wrists, one clean laceration from ear to ear." Morgan stated motioning to his ear and then going across his throat to the other ear.

"Looks arterial, probably took the entire carotid. At least she went quickly." Elle stated and Naruto frowned.

"I think that was the intention." Naruto stated as he looked at the shower and bathtub closely.

"How do you mean?" Elle asked as she knew Naruto wasn't wrong about these kinds of things.

"Well, based on the blood in this shower, he played with his food on this one. And since he the tub has a blood ring around it, I'm willing to bet there was a third body he didn't want connected to him somehow and he played with that one too. However, Mrs. Dimarco was quick and clean, no suffering, no prolonged torture or massive overkill." Naruto stated as he examined the room closely, "Mr. Dimarco in the shower?" Naruto asked as he squatted near it.

"Yeah. Ligature marks on the wrists and ankles, plus evidence of torture: burns, contusions, lacerations. You name it, this guy tried it. Then to finish him off, there was one long laceration up the abdomen, through both layers of muscle." Morgan stated and Naruto nodded.

"Evisceration, that's typical of disorganized behavior." Reid stated only for Elle to shake her head.

"Despite the mess, this shows method, order, control. I'd say he was organized." Elle stated and Naruto nodded.

"And because of torture being the signature, the methods are usually unique. Isn't that right Reid?" Naruto asked and Reid nodded.

"Yes, a person who burns someone doesn't usually use a knife." Reid stated making the others frown except Naruto.

"So, maybe we have more than one killer, or we have one killer with more than one personality." Hotch stated making Naruto frown.

"Like Naruto said, we also have three victims. Wife is at the vanity, Husband is at the shower, so who is in the tub? The ring looks to be high enough for an entire body's volume of blood." Gideon stated.

"Approximately 10.6 pints." Reid provided as Naruto was still squatting near the shower.

"Which means the victim was dismembered. And from the looks of it, he took all the parts with him." Elle stated making the team nod before she looked at Naruto, "You're playing it all, aren't you?" Elle asked knowing that at these scenes Naruto would play out the methodology in detail within his head.

"Yes." Naruto stated before he stood and sighed, "One killer. One personality. Three victims. Two aggressive and hate filled kills on males. One quick clean mercy kill that he didn't want to do on a female." Naruto stated making the team look at him.

"Reasoning?" Gideon asked as he wanted to know the method behind the statements and decisions to gain a better understanding, both of Naruto and the Unsub.

"Both males, pictures downstairs show a young man staying with them and since they had no kids I'm guessing a nephew or troubled youth they were sheltering, have extensive damage and pain inflicted on them while the female was a quick clean kill guaranteed to be fast and nearly painless. The older male I'm willing to bet had it worse than the younger, so our guy hates males and especially ones that are older so they are surrogates. This leads to the usual conclusion that he was abused as a child by a parent, but he doesn't hate women so either a woman saved or protected him or the father beat the mother just as bad if not worse than the son. Based on the fact he didn't know a woman would be here, he either didn't know the intended victim that well or he did this on impulse and fear that something was about to happen." Naruto stated making the team nod seeing the point.

"Intended victim?" Morgan asked and Naruto merely motioned to the tub.

"Why leave two bodies out but hide the third? Either because he could be connected to the killer or because the killer wanted a potential patsy to pass it off on while he laid low and left the area. My guess though, it was both rolled into one and the patsy has a criminal record that will immediately bring up some red flags and tag him as a suspect until we find him somewhere dead. However, that may be easier than we think since if this is the first time he's had to force himself to kill someone he didn't want to for self-preservation, he'll be confused, stumbling, panicking, and making mistakes, so the body may not be hidden that well." Naruto stated making them nod slowly, "Ask PD to do a thorough search of trash cans, dumpsters, and trash heaps up to a few miles from here. If he was panicking, then he wouldn't have kept the body bags for long." Naruto stated making them nod since it was a fair point.

"Get JJ here and ready, the circus will be showing up soon." Gideon stated as they left the bathroom and headed downstairs.

The team looked over the house for a few minutes looking over the file and reports before they started talking more, "So what do we have on the suspect based just on the bodies that we do have?" Hotch asked and Naruto snorted.

"He's ruthless, sadistic, brutal, and has an experienced hand. From what I see on Mr. Dimarco, he knew exactly where to hit with the different implements and punches to cause considerable pain but ensure it didn't end quickly with his death, shock, unconsciousness, or potential cardiac arrest." Naruto stated making them nod.

"Typically, torture falls into two categories: Sadistic and Functional. Functional is used to extract information or to punish. It's measured, impersonal, completely disinterested." Reid stated and the others nodded.

"Like military tactics." Hotch stated making both Naruto and Reid nod.

"Exactly, and then sadistic torture is used to extract some emotional need. Like say, revenge on someone you hate." Naruto stated as he saw them nod.

"But Sadists are sexually deviant, yet there's no evidence of sexual contact." Elle stated making Naruto snort.

"That we know of." Hotch stated looking at Elle.

"What do you mean?" Reid asked and Naruto shook his head.

"We don't have the third body yet." Naruto stated making Reid gain a look of understanding, "Though there still won't be anything from it in that category. Sadism is beyond normal sexual deviancy as it takes different forms like many other aspects. In this, it's rage and pain being given out rather than taking it, the abuser getting the power to abuse now. However, rather than continuing the cycle, he is taking out his rage and pain on surrogates for the person he couldn't take it out on or perhaps the person he began taking it out on but he ended it to quickly and it left him feeling empty." Naruto supplied making them nod since not everything was black and white when it came to these guys at times.

"Naruto, bathroom again, I want to run through the scenario." Gideon stated making Naruto nod as he followed Gideon up with Reid and Elle following.

Morgan however sighed causing Hotch to look at him, "Something wrong?" Hotch asked and Morgan grunted a bit.

"Months with this guy, and I still can't get used to him and all of you seemed to have found some kind of equilibrium with him. I'm glad for the help he's given, I really am, but he's still a serial killer, Hotch. He's still the same kind of person we put away and we're taking him with us and treating him as a teammate." Morgan stated and Hotch stood there letting him vent.

"It's a bit more complicated than that. Gideon is interested in his methodology in order to become better at catching and empathizing with more Unsubs. Elle is intrigued by him because she finds him as a natural curiosity. JJ and Garcia have only seen the friendly side and never the darker side. I don't really mind him so long as he helps get the job done right. Reid doesn't mind him because he's intrigued by him and has rationalized that Naruto isn't a threat as the only people he's ever hurt are serial killers." Hotch stated before Morgan spoke.

"That we know of, Hotch, that we know of. He could have other victims that he's never told us or mentioned or even hinted at that have nothing to do with serial killing." Morgan stated and Hotch nodded.

"Is that you as a profiler or you as a cop?" Hotch stated making Morgan bite back a retort and sigh, "I understand it's not easy, and you're free to take time off whenever you need it, but orders came from above and no matter how many waves Gideon or I could make over the matter, nothing would come of it because the Director ordered it. You don't have to like him, you don't even have to respect him, but at least find a way to work with him so we can stop more Unsubs from claiming more lives." Hotch stated before an officer motioned to him and he went over to talk while Morgan merely sighed again.

Upstairs, Naruto was standing in the middle of the room with Gideon by the door, Elle by the vanity, and Reid by the shower, "Ok, you got the three tied and ready for you to do your work. Mrs. Dimarco tied to the chair, Mr. Dimarco bound in the shower, and victim number 3 most likely bound in the tub. Who do you start with?" Gideon asked and Naruto motioned to the vanity.

"Mrs. Dimarco." Naruto stated as the others nodded.

"To prove to the others that you have no mercy?" Elle asked and Naruto shrugged a bit.

"Yes and no, I kill her first because I don't want to kill her, but since I did this on impulse, evidenced by the fact I didn't have my face covered, I can't risk her staying alive. My self-preservation outweighs my preferences and even methodology. So, I skip my usual approach of torture and just kill her in a manner I know she will die, and it will be quick with no chance of suffering besides the feel of the cut at the start. It also spared her to see what I'm going to do to the men. However, it does work for me as it inspires fear and psychological torture on the others before I begin their true pain and suffering. So, while I am upset I had to do this because I didn't plan, I am happy that they suffer now because of it." Naruto stated causing them to nod, while Reid was mentally noting all of this.

"There's evidence of that since her death being so quick and clean would never give the Unsub the satisfaction he desired even if he would normally kill a woman." Gideon supplied since they couldn't only rely on Naruto's knowledge.

"That's when I went to the husband next and made sure to take my time. Victim 3 I am personally targeting, meaning I want to be sure that I get whatever it is I want from him besides his death." Naruto stated and Elle spoke up.

"There's no wasted effort on his part anywhere in this, no hesitation at all on the Unsub's part. I mean, look at all he did, it's a lot of work. Tiring, attention gaining, time consuming work. We're either dealing with a professional or…" Elle stated and was finished by Gideon.

"A pure psychopath." Gideon stated as he looked around the room and sighed, "Nothing more we can do here until the third victim turns up. Like Naruto suggested, there's probably a connection to him. He did not want that victim identified." Gideon stated as he began heading downstairs followed by the others with Hotch and Morgan meeting them by the door, "Have Garcia go through open files in Maryland, see if any of them involve this level of torture." Gideon stated as they stood by the front door.

"You got it." Morgan stated before Naruto added in.

"Have her check the surrounding states as well. If the guy's a pro, why only do jobs close to home?" Naruto stated making Gideon and the others nod.

"How far back should she go?" Elle asked and Gideon looked to Naruto who frowned.

"At least 10 years. This guy definitely isn't a rookie." Naruto stated causing them to nod before they headed back to the BAU.

Next Day

Naruto sat drinking some coffee as Gideon tacked up the picture of the third victim after a homeless guy looking for food found the head in a trash bag, "Third victim was positively identified as a low-level mob guy." Morgan stated walking in with some paperwork, "Frederick "Freddy" Condore. The older couple's nephew." Morgan stated making Naruto tip his cup at them, "Body parts were found in 7 different trash cans 2 blocks from the crime scene." Morgan stated making Naruto raise an eyebrow.

"Ok, well then this is definitely the first time he had to kill when he didn't want to, he didn't even make it a mile before he dumped the parts." Naruto stated making Gideon nod as Reid looked interested.

"Were they able to completely reassemble the body?" Reid asked with a frown.

"Killer kept nothing." Morgan stated making them frown.

"Any evidence he got off?" Elle asked making Morgan shake his head.

"Told you." Naruto stated before he smirked as Elle just flipped him off with a smile.

"Garcia has a number of unsolved murders in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland over the past 15 years. Many of them have ties to organized crime, all different M.O.s." Reid stated making Morgan and Elle frown.

"So what's the connection?" Elle asked and Naruto smirked.

"Torture. Marks on the bones are consistent with the same cutting tool." Morgan stated making Elle nod.

"Since most of the victims are tied to organized crime and we have no signs of sexual sadism, we're looking at a Hit Man. A psychopath's dream job." Naruto stated making Elle and Reid nod while Gideon was looking over things still.

"But a Hitman doesn't need to torture to get the job done." Morgan stated and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, but their employers usually don't care what you do to the target before you kill them, just so long as they're dead and likely won't be found for a long time. Essentially you have a serial killer with a target rich environment and the means to travel and get away at any time because of the funds he's getting. Plus the mobs will supply him with almost anything he could want or need to either escape, lay low, or do his business in seclusion with no worries." Naruto stated making Morgan nod at seeing his point since he could hunt for targets and make easy money doing it with the mob covering for him so the cops can't find him easily.

They turned their attention to JJ as she walked in, "Two things: Baltimore just forwarded a sketch of the man seen running from the crime scene, and you've got some agents out there that think you're poaching on their turf." JJ stated handing a sketch to Gideon before directly addressing him.

"I'll handle it." Gideon stated as he got up and Naruto went to the doorway to see who it was while Reid looked at the sketch.

Naruto watched as Gideon and Hotch greeted Special Agent in Charge Josh Cramer, in charge of organized crime in Baltimore, "Jason Gideon. BAU's pretty famous." Cramer stated while keeping a charming smile on his face.

"Brought the whole team, huh?" Gideon asked with a smile.

"Yeah, well, we were in town." Cramer stated while his posture showed he wanted to get this meeting over with so he could go.

"We were just going over the case. Want to join us?" Gideon offered and Cramer smiled and shook his head.

"I'd love to, but I can't stay. I just wanted to come down and say thank you for going to Baltimore yesterday looking into this for us, but now that it's pretty obviously an organized crime case, we're gonna go ahead and take over for you. I'm sure you guys have enough to do with your psychos." Cramer stated trying to be charismatic and Naruto just snorted before taking a sip of his coffee.

"You don't think that the guy who killed the Dimarcos is a psycho?" Hotch asked curiously.

Cramer merely gave a stiff smile, "Well, what he is now is my problem. But again, thanks for coming out." Cramer stated and Gideon nodded.

"Anything we can do to help." Gideon stated as he stuck his hand out.

"Appreciate that. We're pretty good at this." Cramer stated shaking Gideon's hand.

"You got it. You know where we live." Gideon stated as he walked back and Cramer looked and saw Naruto there, who smirked and raised his cup towards him before following Gideon into the conference room. The whole time enjoying the surprised look on Cramer's face as they left.

Naruto then turned as he closed the door and saw Gideon at the white board, "So we dropping it?" Morgan asked and Naruto snorted.

"Hell no, they've got no idea what kind of shit they are dealing with right now." Naruto stated making Elle nod as Gideon kept writing on the board.

"Unsub is male, intelligent, organized, and methodical. He has the confidence of a man who's been killing for a long time. Only victim removed from the scene is Freddy Condore, indicating some tie to him. Elle, you and Reid stay on Condore's background with Garcia. Dig deep, see what turns up." Gideon stated making the two nod.

"Condore worked as a supervisor at a scrap metal yard in Baltimore. It's owned by a guy named Michael Russo, boss of a small mob crew. I'm gonna grab Hotch and go check him out." Morgan stated causing Gideon to nod.

"Hey." Naruto called getting Morgan to stop, "Be prepared to face a professional liar, maybe see about twisting the info a bit and see if he reacts. Also, might want to not mention the guy being paranoid till we can get a name or better lead since it might spook him into contacting the Unsub and then we could lose him forever." Naruto stated making Morgan nod as he kept walking, "While they do that, we play connect the scumbags and find the right one." Naruto stated with a shrug.

Naruto, Elle, and Reid then moved to Garcia's room and began working with her on the known associates.

Currently Naruto was behind Garcia while Reid sat next to her and Elle went to get a coffee, "Your re breathing on my neck." Garcia stated and Naruto smirked before he got next to her ear.

"Is this better?" Naruto stated making her grin before she shrugged him away while she kept typing.

"You two having fun?" Elle asked coming back in and Naruto chuckled.

"Oh, yeah. Sifting through the life and times of Freddy Condore with Dr. Reid and Foxy here is a party I wouldn't want to miss." Garcia stated as she kept typing.

"Well, once you cut the sifting and Reid from the equation you mean." Naruto stated teasingly making Garcia smile a bit as she kept typing.

"Credit cards show that Freddy loved crab cakes, preferred light beer, and used to spend his Thursday nights with a woman in Fells Point." Garcia stated before noting Elle's cup and moved it about a six inches from where Elle put it, "An, uh, expensive woman." Garcia stated as she kept typing and Elle just looked at Reid and Naruto.

Naruto smirked and mouthed, "Don't endanger a nerd girl's tech." causing Elle to smirk and nod seeing his point since Garcia would literally kill her if her coffee somehow spilled onto her set up.

"What about his associates?" Elle asked picking her cup back up.

"Most of them, shockingly, have criminal records." Naruto answered leaning behind Garcia again, "However, one is a bit interesting despite Reid's claim that he's very interesting. Bring up James Baker's rap sheet." Naruto stated and Garcia quickly clicked it up, "So to a normal guy, this seems normal, but see if you can spot the red flag in this: He spent time in Juvie for attempted murder, released at age 21, and then arrested, in order, for armed robbery, petty theft, burglary, narcotics sales, and rape." Naruto stated making Elle raise an eyebrow.

"But there's no other sexual assault complaint in his file." Elle stated and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, and while this jolted mess can seem strange for a person to do, there are possibilities for this such as the fact that he may have been arrested for these but that doesn't mean he didn't do other things between arrests. Such as the attempted murder, could be a kid went after his parent as they abused a sibling or the other parent. The burglary could have been a rape, but parents wanted to protect the child and thus didn't want report it and make their child "that kid" as it were. However, I don't think he did any of this and it's based off of Cramer's sudden urge to take over the case." Naruto stated and Elle and Reid looked at him.

"Oh shit." Elle stated causing Garcia to look at her.

"What?" Garcia asked in confusion.

"When someone plugs in random acts of crime for a rap sheet, it means one of two things: Either the precinct was updating files and someone screwed up or someone was building a cover story for someone and we just had a senior FBI agent come to take the case from us just as we get a lead on a suspect." Naruto stated making Garcia widen her eyes since that wasn't good at all, "Bring his picture up since we can always arrest and bring him in under a cover if needed." Naruto stated as Garcia typed and his picture came up showing a near identical match to the sketch, "Damn." Naruto cursed as he quickly got his phone out, "Hotch, go to the following address and look through it. I think this case just got more complicated and whatever you find at the address is gonna confirm it." Naruto stated before telling the Hotch the address and went to tell Gideon that their suspect is an undercover cop or FBI agent.

Next Morning: BAU

Naruto sighed as he saw Cramer march towards Hotch's office angrily no doubt because he just got word that they ran his agent's gun that Hotch and Morgan found in his crash pad, "What the hell is wrong with you people?" Cramer shouted slamming Hotch's office door hard enough that it didn't stay closed.

"I'm sorry?" Hotch asked calmly as he set down the paperwork he was doing.

"I told you, this is my case!" Cramer shouted and Hotch rose slowly.

"All right, first of all, don't shout at me. Secondly, you don't decide what cases the BAU works on." Hotch stated calmly as Gideon walked to the door.

"You ran my agent's gun through IBIS?" Cramer asked as if he wasn't sure if this was a joke or not.

"'Cause I wanted to know who he worked for, and now that I do, I'd like to talk to him." Hotch stated surprising Cramer.

"Y-you don't have him?" Cramer asked, surprise clearly on his face and Hotch furrowed his brow.

"No. You don't know where he is?" Hotch asked as Gideon came in and Cramer sat down worried.

"He's missing." Cramer stated calmly, but it was clear he wasn't at all.

"How long?" Gideon asked knowing that it wasn't good at all.

"Close to 13 hours now." Cramer stated and Gideon nodded.

"Before or after the murders?" Gideon asked since they needed to know what to expect and plan for.

Cramer just looked at him like he was nuts before seeing Hotch was serious too, "You think Jimmy's a suspect?" Cramer asked incredulously.

Gideon sighed, "Well, there's a sketch of someone who looks an awful lot like him leaving the scene." Gideon stated and Cramer scoffed.

"That's because he was there. After. Look, he ran into a couple of Baltimore detectives, and they made him while he was with Condore. Now, Jimmy tried to play it off, but he didn't think that Condore had bought it, so he wanted to go back and talk to him. When he saw what was left of the Dimarcos, he called us for a pickup. We showed up. He didn't." Cramer stated making it clear he was in fact worried.

"Could he have ran?" Hotch asked since the alternative was not good at all.

"No. Jimmy's too experienced to run without contact. If he's not calling in, then someone's keeping him from doing it." Cramer stated with full confidence in his agent.

"And who is Jimmy Baker's target?" Gideon asked knowing that could play a part in finding him.

"Michael Russo." Cramer stated looking at Gideon while his tone showed he wanted to go and gut Russo, which was likely do to believing that Russo knew where Jimmy was, "We've been after the guy for 3 years. Jimmy's been under for almost 2." Cramer stated knowing that the longer this took the closer his agent was to being dead.

"We spoke to Russo yesterday. He seemed genuinely surprised by the murders." Hotch stated calmly now wishing he had brought Naruto.

"And you bought that? Let me tell you a little something about Michael Russo. The guy is a liar, and a good one. If he didn't do it, then he knows who did." Cramer stated as the two looked at him and he grit his teeth as he stood up, "Oh hell. You know what? I'm wasting my time with you. You obviously don't get it." Cramer stated before Naruto came to the door.

"That include me, Josh?" Naruto asked making Cramer stop dead in his tracks, "We aren't the enemy, now sit down because we're gonna need your help to catch both the Unsub and find your agent, hopefully alive." Naruto stated as Cramer sighed and sat down.

Gideon and Hotch both exchanged glances since Naruto and Cramer seemed familiar with each other and both took a seat as Naruto leaned against the wall, "We're not dealing with your typical mob thug or anything, this guy makes every mob member you've put away look like a saint ready for Sunday Church in comparison. You rush into this, your agent will die and possibly you too if the Unsub gets the chance. We can find the killer, but we need your help since you know the mob structure and members better than we do." Naruto stated and Cramer swallowed a lump.

"Naruto, if this guy is as bad as you say, and he's got Jimmy, did he kill him already?" Cramer asked and Naruto frowned a moment.

"Is Jimmy one to give in easily?" Naruto asked and Cramer shook his head quickly, "Then there's a very good chance, the guy we want is after any information that could threaten him because self-preservation comes before everything. Longer Jimmy can hold out, the better and that means we can find him alive." Naruto stated since until he knew the threat level, the Unsub wasn't going to kill Jimmy especially with not knowing who he worked for.

Cramer nodded while sucking on his lips, "I'll help you in any way that I can." Cramer stated before pulling a picture out of his shirt pocket and putting it on Hotch's desk, showing Jimmy with a wife and two kids, "And you help me get this man back to his family." Cramer stated making Naruto nod as he went to leave, "And Naruto." Cramer called making Naruto pause, "It's good to see you." Cramer stated making Naruto smirk and nod towards him before he went to the conference room.

Entering, he found Morgan and Garcia with a board of photos and a box of files, "How many are there?" Morgan asked and Garcia sighed.

"Well, I went back 15 years and there's over 100." Garcia stated surprising Morgan.

"A hundred unsolved murders." Morgan stated making sure he heard that right.

"That we know of, and then there's more coming in." Garcia stated as Morgan opened a file and then groaned at first look.

"You know, we figured this guy was at it for a while, but this many victims? John Wayne Gacy killed at least 30 people and this guy's more than tripled that." Morgan stated and Naruto came in and looked at a file.

"Yeah, but he wasn't getting resources, covers, and targets from different crime groups. Plus he most likely started young and took out different people to get better at his work and then eventually he took out a few mob guys and got some attention and then other mobs and such started paying him to take out more and more targets over the years and those that tried to take him out or double cross him were soon added to his kill list. Also since he's a pure psychopath with no remorse, no conscience, no empathy, no disgust or flinch in causing pain, he could also take out any interrogation targets for the mobs. They want any piece of information, they give him the target, he extracts the info, and then he can play and kill when he's done so long as he delivers the information to his employers. When business slowed down, he just targeted more people that met his criteria and then he's back to the perfect career for his type of Unsub." Naruto stated flipping through the files and not even reacting to the scenes.

"Russo's got no idea what he is dealing with, we can probably use this to shake him loose." Morgan stated as Naruto nodded.

"Take some photos of the Dimarco scene, a little show and tell might really shake him loose along with mentioning the Unsub's paranoia once he learns Russo is talking to feds. Plus have a surveillance team watching him along with some phone listening gear as he no doubt checks his phones for wire taps." Naruto stated making Morgan nod since working him up would at least get him to call the Unsub and maybe get them a name.

Couple Hours later

"Naruto! Let's go. Hotch and Morgan just shook Russo's confidence." Gideon stated and Naruto immediately stood and got his gun.

"Well, then they're gonna have a face to face for Russo to get a read on him and we need to be there so Russo doesn't get trigger happy." Naruto stated as Gideon nodded.

"Elle, Reid, you stay on the surveillance team in place on Russo, you get anything you call immediately." Gideon stated making the two nod as they went to Garcia's room and Naruto got in the elevator.

"You realize we're gonna have to be careful and have tasers ready? This guy isn't going to come along peacefully and we kill him, we might never find Baker." Naruto stated making Gideon nod.

"Yeah, I had Hotch tell SWAT to bring tasers for riot control level problems." Gideon stated and Naruto nodded as the two quickly headed for Baltimore.

Arriving, the two sat and waited for the clear signal to enter since Elle had called and stated Russo was meeting the Hit Man at his shop that night.

After a little while, Naruto got a call from Reid, "Vincent Perotta. He's got the full makings of the Unsub, even has a mention of him 'faking an injury to get into the infirmary so he could get access to a boy that looked at him for too long' and throwing a Molotov cocktail at a person sitting in their car. And this is all with him as a minor." Reid stated making Naruto hum in thought.

"Alright, he fits. Call back if you find out more." Naruto stated before he hung up, "All units, target's name is Vincent Perotta, he is needed alive if at all possible." Naruto stated over a walkie making everyone sound off.

Naruto and crew then entered the scrapyard when they got word from a sniper that someone had entered the facility and Elle then called to confirm it as Russo had taken a call and confirming that "Vinnie" had arrived. Cramer had gone with them too, but Naruto expressly told him to ensure that he kept his cool so that they could get Jimmy back, "Remember all units, we need the man alive." Naruto stated over his walkie ear piece and received affirmatives from the cops.

"It's clear." Morgan stated from his area.

"Got nothing." Cramer reported with a sigh.

"Hotch?" Naruto asked and when there was no reply he took off running to Hotch's area. He arrived just in time to see Hotch get shoved against a white van and quickly tackled the individual to the ground and punched him in the face before he was elbowed. Perotta turned and threw a punch at Naruto, only for him to catch it and twist around sending Perotta to the ground before Naruto punched his elbow dislocating it and causing him to shout before he kicked Naruto off.

Standing up both Perotta and Naruto stared the other down as Hotch was still trying to get his bearings before Perotta reset his arm before throwing a punch at Naruto that was ducked. Naruto sent a jab to his ribs before leaning out of the way of a left hook and caught the arm before delivering a left cross, backhand, headbutt combo that sent Perotta staggering back. Naruto then grabbed Perotta's jacket and slammed his forehead into Perotta's nose a few times before Naruto grunted and lifted Perotta by his coat and pants over his head before slamming him back first onto the ground.

Before Perotta could try to get up, SWAT, Morgan, and Gideon arrived and had him staring down multiple gun barrels, "Move and you die." Morgan stated as a SWAT officer came over and handcuffed Perotta while Naruto went over to Hotch.

"You alright?" Naruto asked making Hotch nod as he spat some blood out of his mouth.

"Yeah, thanks for the save." Hotch stated as Gideon gave Hotch back his gun that was dropped in the fight.

SWAT then escorted Perotta to their van for transport to Quantico while Cramer came up, "They found a van just around the corner, blood all over. It's being processed and they'll send everything to Quantico." Cramer stated making the others nod before Gideon sent the van off and they headed for their vehicles.

Arriving back at the BAU, they escorted Perotta to an interrogation room where he was chained and handcuffed down to the floor and his chair while Naruto and the others merely stood there watching from the viewing room and it was obvious Cramer was getting antsy, "Josh, calm down, we know what we are doing and trust me, normal interrogation won't work on this guy. He's basically been raised and bred that he should never trust anyone with anything at any time. It's called Anti-Social Personality Disorder. In a nutshell, it means he'll never trust anyone but himself." Naruto stated making Cramer sigh as this wasn't what he wanted to be doing right now.

"Then what the hell do we do?" Cramer asked and Naruto merely walked up to the glass.

"Make him uncomfortable and if Gideon allows it, I talk to him." Naruto stated making a few of them look at him as Naruto just looked at Perotta, "From what I saw of the evidence boxes they brought in, there were tapes in his van. I wouldn't watch them, but you should have Garcia strip the audio down to find any background noise or identifiers. Plus there were pizza boxes in his van, and you only get pizza from your neighborhood place so that should help narrow the search area further." Naruto stated making a few of them nod while Morgan went to have Garcia start stripping the tapes.

"Why not watch the tapes?" Reid asked and Naruto sighed a bit.

"There his mementos, so I'm sure you can guess just WHAT is on them." Naruto stated making Reid nod while glad he wasn't going to watch them.

"You sure you wanna do it?" Gideon asked and Naruto nodded.

"I beat him in a fight, so I either earned his respect or his animosity, but either way I know him. While our targets were different, we likely had the same method and means to hunt." Naruto stated making Gideon nod as Naruto placed his guns on the counter along with his knife, "Also, Josh, if you come into the room then all you're going to do is either amuse him or antagonize him. So no matter how much he pisses you off, don't barge in." Naruto stated making Josh nod before Naruto walked into the interrogation room and to be safe Hotch and Elle blocked the door, "Hello Vincent, or would you prefer Vinnie?" Naruto asked as he took a chair and sat across from him.

"Doesn't matter much to me. Though you could tell me who you are at least." Perotta stated in an even, almost monotone, voice.

"I'm Naruto Namikaze, an advisor for the FBI." Naruto stated looking at Perotta calmly.

"Are you afraid of me, Naruto?" Perotta asked completely relaxed and Naruto smiled.

"No more than you are of me." Naruto stated and Perotta cracked a smile.

"That's good, he got a positive reaction from him already." Hotch noted as they all watched including Morgan as he came back in.

"You were advised of your rights?" Naruto asked and Perotta rolled his neck before motioning to the chains.

"Take these off and we'll really talk." Perotta stated and Naruto chuckled before he tossed him a key letting Perotta free his hands.

"What's he doing?" Elle asked and Gideon just watched.

"Showing that he's not afraid and that he's not going to back down from Perotta." Gideon stated as they watched two alpha male killers staring down at the other.

"So, you were advised of your rights?" Naruto asked and Perotta nodded, "So you want to talk now?" Naruto asked and Perotta shrugged.

"I got nothing to hide. Maybe we can even compare kill counts with each other." Perotta stated making Naruto smirk, "You're not like those other ones, you fight to survive and that look in your eye tells me you're looking at all the different ways you could kill me before anyone could enter this room." Perotta stated and Naruto nodded.

"I'm sure I've come up with as many ways for you as you've done for me." Naruto stated with a smile as he instinctively cracked his hand while making a fist.

Perotta just smirked wider, "So you're not with organized crime, then that means this is something more than my affiliation with Russo." Perotta stated and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, I work with he BAU, which means we delve into the minds of Serial Killers and hunt them based on what they do, what their behavior tells us, and what drives them. In a lesser form of terms, we study how people like you think and why you do what you do… or rather they do that. I know fully well how you think and why you do what you do." Naruto stated making Perotta nod interested, "They have a couple of words to describe you such as Psychopath. Paranoid Personality Disorder. And some others that are just kinda meh." Naruto stated making Perotta tilt his head slightly.

"Well, what do they call you?" Perotta asked and Naruto shrugged.

"Not sure they have a term for me, you see I didn't hunt normal people, I hunted people like you. I hunted the hunters and won. A term you could say for me is a Personal Cause Killer in that I did it for a cause that struck home for me. In my case, my best friend turned out to be a sociopath and took the love of my life hostage and raped her repeatedly in front of me, killed my father in front of me, and tortured and tried kill me, so I broke him as I didn't want his suffering to end. I wanted him to live with what I had done to him and know that he'd be trapped in a hell that I created for him never to escape." Naruto stated surprising the agents except for Elle while Perotta nodded showing his own understanding.

"That seems quite fitting, the monster trapped in a prison that his prey created for him." Perotta stated as Naruto nodded a bit.

"So tell, how quickly did you lose control and kill your father?" Naruto asked and Perotta raised an eyebrow at him, "Oh come on, he was a sadistic drunk of an ass who beat you and your mother ruthlessly every chance he got and always made sure no one knew about it. You learned to take the pain, smile, endure anything he threw at you, and you ensured you protected your mother since she suffered just as bad as you, but whenever one of you helped the other you got beat worse. However, through it all you dreamed of the day that you would be bigger and stronger and make him pay, but you were too inexperienced and you killed him too quickly so he didn't get the suffering he deserved." Naruto stated making Perotta twitch his neck a bit while sucking on his lips, "Ah. That's it isn't it, he died before you got your chance to really torture him." Naruto stated making Perotta click his tongue.

"Yeah, old Frank cheated me once again. I put a rifle round through his leg, turns out he had a severe bleeding condition that made him bleed out less than a quarter of the time it usually takes. Ma managed to outlive his sorry ass and I was nice enough to not go hunting outside of animals until she passed." Perotta stated as it was clear he still hated his father desperately.

"And that's why you only killed males… until you slipped up with Condore." Naruto stated making Perotta look at him directly and he leaned in.

"And how's that?" Perotta asked making Naruto smirk and lean in as well.

"You didn't plan it well enough, you let your paranoia get the better of you and ended up having to a kill a woman. I bet she was the first in a very long time because you can't help but see your mother in their place. The men however, you can easily picture your father there in place of them and give him the pain he earned. But in killing Mrs. Dimarco, you spiraled a bit as you did the deed in their own home instead of your controlled environment and then you panicked by chopping up Freddy and moving the body not even a mile away from the crime scene. You knew he'd be traced back to Russo and that would eventually lead us to target his known associates and with quite a few dead or imprisoned, it would be a matter of time before we found you. We just pushed it along by poking Russo's own paranoia about getting caught." Naruto stated as he stood and went to the board before flipping it and showing pictures of Perotta's victims.

"138 males and one female. You started slipping when you had to kill her." Naruto stated as he looked at the board and Perotta stood and walked towards Naruto before standing beside him making the agents tense slightly.

"It was bound to happen. My mother was too close to me to just execute and seeing that woman… It was hard. I could do all these males over and over again with no issue, but her…" Perotta stated and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, for me it's red heads. Can't seem to do it cleanly because the love of my life is a red head. But you push through and apologize to them later on since it seems to kill something even if you make it so you feel nothing at all." Naruto stated and Perotta merely hummed.

"The way the two of them act… it's almost like.." Reid started and the others nodded.

"Like the two of them have been friends for years." Hotch stated as they kept watching as Perotta took his seat again.

"So, who was your first kill if you merely trapped your former friend?" Perotta asked and Naruto merely shrugged.

"Tit for tat?" Naruto asked and Perotta merely shrugged and nodded.

"What's that mean?" Reid asked and Elle hummed.

"Naruto will answer a question in exchange for Perotta answering a question for him." Elle stated getting the gist of it, "Naruto wants to learn enough about him to know where Baker is without bringing up that he's FBI." Elle stated making them nod.

"Well let's see, you never forget your first right? Well, mine was a sniveling coward midget of a man named Gato, and yes I am serious his name was cat. He fancied himself a crime boss, but he just butchered and killed anyone that got in his way with no real muscle behind while any women he took a liking to were chained and used like his personal whores. I knee capped him in both legs before I freed the women and let them get a bit of revenge, which I'm sure you can imagine what they did to him in many ways. Afterwards, I did a slight cut to his throat and then tied him upside down. Let him gurgle and choke on his own blood as the blood rushed to his head and slowly suffocated him while his head would feel like it was inflating like a balloon. Took him 32 minutes to die that way, and I'm sure it was because he was more fat and plaque in his arteries than straight up blood. Once that was done, I burned the entire building he owned down with him any security he had inside." Naruto stated making Gideon and Hotch glance at each other since that was a kill they didn't know about.

"Effective, did you make sure the blaze hit high enough to reduce his bones to ash?" Perotta asked and Naruto nodded.

"Fucker liked his alcohol, so I drenched the whole room in close to a gallon of the stuff along with every piece of flammable material there was and the gun powder from the bullets they had. Made for quite the display as the fire raged since I missed a few bullets so the minor explosions inside made for quite a fireworks display." Naruto stated and Perotta nodded, "So, how long did it take you to learn never to kill above 5000 feet?" Naruto asked and Perotta shrugged a bit.

"Around 10 kills or so. Your board only shows the ones I killed inside city and populated areas, there's several animals alive that probably fed on my work. The insects and critters don't like the cold temperature that much, the evidence tends to linger longer than I like. I contemplated keeping some around for clean up, but the problem was training them and keeping them from going after other food sources rather than cleaning up my mess." Perotta stated making Naruto nod.

"My turn, what was the most satisfying kill?" Perotta asked and Naruto frowned in thought a long moment.

"There was this sadistic freak of a man named Mayuri Kurotsuchi. He liked to kidnap people and use them for experiments to find new drugs, medicines, surgical applications, surgical methods, and more and when a subject died he simply harvested every valuable piece of the body left and sold it to other killers and sickos. There's quite a few out there that will buy dismembered legs for the right price. When I caught him, I did what he did to his victims only I didn't distribute the parts I just burned them for him to watch while he was still alive. Then I took his client list and started hunting down every name on there. It was the most satisfying as I got dozens of new targets from one kill all with locations and names, though a few of those were aliases and P.O. Boxes, but still enough to make headway." Naruto stated making Perotta nod with a smile.

"Impressive, usually all I get is a photo and location then I remove them after getting any valuable information out of them. Keeps me valuable to other bosses should one start to get intimidated by me." Perotta stated and Naruto nodded.

"Clever. Now, my turn, how come you didn't burn down your father's house instead of making it your killing spot for a home?" Naruto asked making Gideon look up.

"Morgan, Hotch, agent Cramer, find any location registered under Frank Perotta's name." Gideon stated making them nod as they quickly left with Morgan heading towards Garcia's room since she was already combing the pizza delivery area and anything she got from the tapes.

Perotta smirked, "You're the expert, Naruto, why don't you tell me?" Perotta asked as he sat with his hands together.

Naruto merely smirked as he sat back, "Well, if I were you it would be one of or all of four reasons. 1) you lacked power in that house as a boy and young man, so now you show others your superiority and power in that house. 2) by doing it there you're basically spitting in your father's face by saying "look at me Frank, this is what you made me into, all of these people are on your head not mine" and defiling what was his with what is now yours and yours alone. 3) you can't do it because as much as you hate the memories of your father, the memories of your mother are there too and to destroy one is to destroy the other. Which is why I'm sure if I were to go into her house, you'd still be in your old room while your parents' room would be pristine of your mother's items, location, and placements while your father's would be in shambles. 4) to destroy that house would be to fully admit and face that Frank is dead and you can't accept that because he got off far too light and should suffer more, but you can't do anything more to him that he can actually feel so you keep the house and take out more pain and aggression on surrogates. However, you and I both know that's not enough and it gets less pleasing each time so you go for more and more targets." Naruto stated making Perotta remain silent a moment as he merely looked at the board of his more known victims.

"You know, you're saving me thousands in therapy bills." Perotta stated looking back at Naruto with a smirk.

Naruto merely chuckled as he looked at Perotta, "You grew up in a dangerous and abusive home, many would get driven mad and some have. It's no wonder some of you grow up to become killers." Naruto stated as he stood and an escort came to take Perotta.

"Some?" Perotta asked as Naruto turned to look at him, "You said some. I'm guessing you are among those that you counted and since you seemed to like your father, that means your mother did something." Perotta asked and Naruto was silent for a long moment.

"My carrier was a spiteful greedy bitch. She only ever wanted money and luxury life despite the good life my dad provided while most of the marriage she was flat out telling him he was pathetic and weak or whining about how I was dragging her and my dad down by being another mouth to feed and stone around her neck. I usually replied by punching her square across the face and then flipping her off as I walked back to our house or my room. It got to the point my father even struck her when she tried to hit me back and that's when she left." Naruto stated surprising the agents and Perotta.

"So you got to fight back quite a bit, you ever hunt her down?" Perotta asked and Naruto shook his head.

"She was so pathetic that she wasn't worth the effort, finding or possibly killing." Naruto stated making Perotta shrug, "And I was also talking about one of my bosses, the one you were using as a punching bag. He was abused by his mother. He never told me or anyone, but it's not hard to figure out when you look at his actions and the clues he unknowingly leaves. Even if he did hide it better, I could still see as I can see all the profiles, problems, wounds, and sadness that the team carries as it's in my nature to see it all, so I know them better than anyone else on the team does… I just don't advertise it or try to talk to them on things they buried and want to leave buried. Anyway, he grew up to catch killers, I grew into a killer of killers. It really just depends on what we decide to become later on." Naruto stated surprising Elle and Reid while Gideon was impassive at the information.

"I see. I heard that the FBI interviews killers, you gonna talk to me?" Perotta asked as he was stood up and his restraints adjusted.

"Perhaps, if nothing else it makes for nice conversation. However, it depends on if you're going to turn on the mobs and other employers since right now you're looking at the Death Penalty. Turning evidence on them would get that off the table while living in a prison, but the mobs would send guys in and out of prison after you which means you'd still have people to kill over the course of the trials and testimonies." Naruto stated making Perotta nod as he was led away.

"Nice talking to you, Naruto." Perotta called making Naruto give a mock salute.

"Nice talking to you too, Vincent." Naruto stated as he walked back to the bullpen with his hands in his pockets as Gideon and the other two came out.

"Do you really think Hotch went through that and we didn't know?" Reid asked and Gideon was silent.

"Only if you never read him before." Gideon stated walking off showing that he knew, but it wasn't his to tell.

"Don't mention this to Hotch, it won't go well if you do." Elle stated knowing that she'd have to really work on her poker face or Hotch would know something was up.

"Yeah, but Naruto… do you really think he knows us that well? And that he really went through that?" Reid asked and Elle was silent as she merely walked to the bullpen to give Naruto back his weapons and Reid frowned since that in a way answered his question.

"Hey guys, Morgan called. Agent Baker is alive, a bit beat up but alive and he shouldn't be in any danger." Garcia stated coming over and they all nodded while Naruto merely laid back in a chair.

He hated memories of his carrier. He refused to call the woman his mother as she never acted like it nor would she ever act like it. No, as far as Naruto was concerned he had one parent in all of his life and the man was gone now. If he ever did meet the woman again, it wouldn't be pretty but he wouldn't kill her, he hadn't lied to Perotta when he said she really wasn't worth the effort. Right now he just wanted to forget it all and not deal with it until he was forced to.

Unknown Location

"No! Absolutely not! He's in too deep to remove." A voice stated with authority and finality to it.

"But sir, we're so close, we can't just leave him there." Another voice echoed out.

"Do you doubt him?" The first voice stated and only silence was heard, "That's what I thought. Until I say otherwise, Naruto Namikaze is to be untouched and left in the hands of the FBI. They'll keep him safe and occupied till it's time to pull him." The voice stated making many grunt in acknowledgement knowing they'd have to sit and wait.
Other Location: same time

"Sir, you do realize that fool will go after Namikaze eventually, whether you order him to or not." A deep voice stated as another hummed.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. His role with us is slowly being made obsolete and his recklessness brings danger to us all. When he makes his move, he will find himself alone with his own ilk and at the mercy of Namikaze and his allies. The fool knows nothing great about our dealings so even if Namikaze interrogates him, he will only gain hollow victories from lesser plans and agents that are expendable to us." The leader spoke making the other voice hum in agreement.

"Very well sir, should I still have a team in place should the opportunity to remove Namikaze present itself?" The first voice asked and the leader hummed a moment.

"No, too risky that we tip our hand early and the Namikaze finds something more substantial about us, but should that fool return here after failing in his attempt to kill Namikaze, I want him removed and his assets repositioned to still serve us." The leader spoke causing the other voice to give confirmation.

"Of course sir." The voice stated before leaving while the leader was left by themselves.

"Alright brat, let's see what you're really made of." The leader mused to themselves knowing that they'd have to watch Naruto's actions and see just what kind of threat he truly was.

Done!

Next time is Naruto saving Elle's ass from the train incident

The bit about Hotch being abused by his mother was me drawing from different tidbits that they gave throughout the series. 1) He and his brother idolize their father and wanted to become attorneys like he was, so it's highly unlikely that he was the abuser. 2) Hotch has hinted multiple times that he was abused when younger. 3) Hotch's mother is never mentioned at all in the entire series. 4) The few times we see photos from Hotch's early life, we see him with Hayley and other males but never another woman, so he may have just cut his mother from his life. 5) No other family besides his dad, grandpa, and brother are mentioned so unless Hotch has another brother or an uncle that lived with them that is never mentioned, his mother is the only other candidate to be the abuser.
Now I do know that Hotch mentioned that his brother lost their father at an early age (it was part of a profiling speech to make his brother not make a "mistake" as Hotch saw it), but Hotch is 10+ years older so I don't see why he would idolize his father if he was the abuser unless there was a drastic change before the abuse could start on his brother. I'm not saying it was definitely his mother that abused him, but there is evidence to suggest/leave it open to be a high possibility.

Also, check out my poll please! Don't know why Ed, Edd, and Eddie isn't that popular compared to other items but I'd still like votes.

Well, that should be it.

See y'all later!
