Reality Viewing: Naruto the Charming Assassin Charmer

-Chapter 16-

"And we can add you to the family tree, oh right next to Auntie Viola and Uncle Fiorne, they were soooo much fun when I was little. Then we can…"

'How is she still going? She hasn't even stopped to breath.' Most of the occupants within Momo and Nana's room were wondering as they watched Lala rambling on and on and on. It had been roughly ten minutes since the TV had started buffering and as expected of one who seemed to be on a perpetual sugar high, Lala had quickly gotten bored and started going on about how excited she was to be Yami and Mea's 'Aunt'.

"Don't forget getting you added to the guest lists for the family get togethers…"

"Shouldn't someone tell her she's not really our aunt?" Mea asked Nana in a quiet whisper, to which the petite pinkette sighed with a shrug.

"You can go right ahead if you want but it'll most likely just go in one ear and out the other."

"Fair point."

"Plus, Nemesis did have a valid point," Momo added in as she sidled a bit closer to the whispering pair, looking more than a little upset at having to agree with the dark matter girl. "By definition a parent is the one who creates you and a grandparent is the one who creates that which creates you. So, since Mom and Dad created the science and research which was… repurposed to create you, then by technicality you kinda are our nieces, in a weird convoluted sort of way at least."

"Also a fair point." Mea muttered with a nod, unable to deny the bustier pinkette's logic.

"And we can-Oh hey, View-View-Kun's ready to play!" Lala cut herself off, finally stopping her long and ever growing list of family activities when the TV started playing once more, getting everyone's immediate attention.

"So this is what the real Pain looked like?"

"Kakashi Hatake, I suggest you not linger too long, and do what needs to be done." Former Akatsuki member, Konan, spoke as she watched as Kakashi stood over the bodies of Nagato and Yahiko, two of her four precious people.

"…Well, that's one way to start it off," Mikan stated dryly, her expression immediately dropping to that of a deadpan as the screen showed Kakashi and a new woman with lovely purple-blue hair held in a bun by an origami rose in a room with two dead bodies. "Is it just me or are grisly intros starting to become a thing with this?"

"Just a little bit," Sephie muttered with a somber expression, from both the sight of even more death and the info-boxes that gave a brief yet no less tragic overview of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan's story. "But it's to be expected though given the current circumstances."

"Indeed." Yami said with a nod.

"…I wish they'd stop." Lala added with a green face and her tail kinked up behind her in disgust.

She watched with rapt attention as he looked at the bodies, that looked like they hadn't deteriorated in the slightest since their deaths. "Naruto might be the bridge to peace, but I'm not fond of other Konoha shinobi being here... doing what you are about to do." Konan spoke with a deep frown.

The information that the man behind the mask was going to try and steal the Rinnegan, and that destroying it was the safest way to help turn the tide in a future war, was troubling to her.

"Oh, you poor thing." The pinkette queen muttered sympathetically while staring at the seemingly impassive expression on Konan's face. To lose both of the people that were closest to her and then have to destroy a part of one of them to prevent it from getting desecrated, it was truly a heart wrenching situation.

"I have a fake Rinnegan here... so that he won't be without eyes at least." Kakashi showed two fake eyes, that were colored and styled to look like the Rinnegan. He didn't want to disrespect the dead, even the corpse of somebody who once led to his own death. Kakashi leaned down next to Nagato, with Konan narrowing her eyes. "... Nobody but Naruto in the village would benefit from these eyes. I have no desire to steal them, because Naruto doesn't have a desire to use them." Kakashi pointed out to her.

"Can't blame him there, even with all those cool powers I wouldn't want someone else's eyeballs in my head." Nana stated, shivering slightly at the thought as she resisted the urge to rub her suddenly very itchy eyes.

"It would certainly be an odd experience, no doubt of that," Mea said with a slow nod, though unlike her friend's unease her expression was that of mild curiosity. "Though it is a shame to let such useful things go to waste."

"But it is for the best." Yami added while her fellow transforming nodded again, both knowing that they would have destroyed those eyes as well given neither of them could use them and how dangerous they were, especially for them.

Konan relaxed her raised guard a small amount, and she watched as Kakashi took Nagato's eyes out of his skull. He even placed the fake eyes into the empty sockets so that it looked like nothing had happened. Kakashi created a Raikiri in his other hand, before he dropped the Rinnegan eyes onto it and used the sharpness and heat of the lighting to evaporate the special eyes.

"It's done."

"Yes, now they can never be used again. I'm sorry for making you watch this." Kakashi spoke to her, and she shook her head.

"Nagato believed in Naruto, and Yahiko believed in Nagato. Naruto carries on both of their wills now, and if he believes this was the best course of action, then I will offer my support to him." Konan spoke with such firm belief, that it made Kakashi smile under his mask. He was always proud to see how Naruto could turn enemies into allies, but seeing that even a member of the infamous Akatsuki would have such faith in the knucklehead showed just how much Naruto had grown.

"Seriously, another one?" Mikan asked incredulously. "How does he do it? I doubt even being possibly part Charmian could explain how he's able to do that."

"It would help a bit for sure, but not to this degree," Sephie said with a nod. "My kind's charm affect is only temporary, at best lasting a day or two without constant exposure and that's if the ones being affected don't develop or already have a resistance to it."

"Pervy Principal was back to his normal annoying shenanigans the day after you went back home." Nana agreed, her face scrunching in distaste at the thought of that obscene man who somehow managed to keep his position despite many, many, MANY accounts of sexual harassment/assault, inappropriate attire (read in only his underwear, and reading dirty magazines in front of students and staff. 'Like seriously, how the hell does that guy still have a job in a school of all places!?'

A question we would all like answered dear Nana.

"How is he anyway, has he gotten any stronger?" Konan asked Kakashi out of curiosity.

She hadn't heard from Naruto on what he was doing, she was mostly concerned with running and operating Ame.

Kakashi tensed.

Truth... or lie?

"Truth, she'd most likely spot a lie instantly and you're already on thin ice." Yami stated matter-of-factly, getting a round of nods and agreements from the rest of the room.

"... Naruto learned something that hurt him really badly. Naruto wanted to be here originally, but he hasn't woken up in two weeks... or rather... he's been placed under a powerful Genjutsu until we can make sure the seal isn't going to break." Kakashi decided to do what Naruto would do, and be as truthful as he could. He, Kakashi, had been the one to place Naruto under the Genjutsu that was keeping him asleep. When he had heard that Naruto had found Kushina's scarf, something even he didn't know existed, he didn't know how Naruto would take it.

After a life of hate, learning that he was never given something he would have loved so much, could have been the straw that broke the camel's back for him.

'If it was anyone else I'd agree in an instant,' Sephie thought with a sad yet respectful sigh. 'That poor boy has got one of the strongest wills I've ever seen.'

"It's not fair," Someone muttered softly with a sniffle, getting the pinkette to snap out of her thoughts as she glanced down towards the source, only to end up blinking in surprise upon seeing her eldest daughter glaring at the screen with tear filled eyes. "They hurt him, they shattered his heart, and now they've locked him up in his own mind for their safety instead of helping. Why I oughta…"

'Oh dear,' The queen thought in alarm as Lala continued to grumble angrily under her breath, her face rapidly turning red, a vein starting to visibly bulge on her forehead, and her tail crinkling up erratically at sharp angles. 'I know that look.'

Acting fast, Sephie quickly wrapped her arms around her eldest daughter and pulled her into a hug, setting her chin on the inventive princess's head while gently rocking side to side. "Shhh… there there, easy does it little one, settle down. I know it's not fair but you know that it isn't gonna do anyone any good to get all huffy."

Still grumbling inaudibly, Lala crossed her arms over her chest and snuggled deeper into her mother's grasp, though her face gradually returned back to its normal color and her tail gradually settled to a mild flicking much to the queen's relief.

Of course, Kakashi thought that it was foolishness. Naruto wasn't the type of person to take his anger out on everyone, but under the orders of the temporary Hokage, he had been forced to put the Genjutsu on Naruto.

"He won't lose to the Kyuubi, not again. After he talked with Nagato, I saw something in his eyes. Naruto has a more pure heart, more determination, and more guts than even sensei did. Naruto inherited Jiraiya-sensei's legacy and surpassed it. Not even the Kyuubi itself can beat Naruto's heart now... He is light." Konan spoke as she raised her hand up. Papers came out of her sleeves and gathered together, taking the form of flowers. She passed them to Kakashi, and nodded her head to him. "He's the ray of light, and because of him we all carry flowers of hope. Send him my best regards." Konan smiled to Kakashi.

"Wow… just wow, now that's a woman who knows how to make her point," Nana said while clapping her hands. "Those origami flowers were a nice touch as well."

"That was a cool trick, I wonder what else she can… oh." Mikan started to say, only to trail off in awe as the screen showed several clips of Konan's abilities, including making wings of paper to fly, turning herself into paper, and even making an entire freaking lake out of paper.

"Oh indeed." Momo said with wide eyes, which only grew wider when a popup pointed out how the aforementioned lake of paper was actually several billion explosives tags. 'Sheesh, I'm starting to think that their planet needs a higher danger rating than S-rank.'

"I like her." Yami stated plainly.

Did she know something he didn't?

"You should stop by the village yourself. I'm sure that Naruto would be happy to see his Sister Student." Kakashi noted to her.

Both Naruto and Konan shared the same teacher, making them sibling pupils, who learned under one master. That was a bond that was almost like family itself for many, sharing a master. Naruto and Konan shared a special bond because of it, a bond that allowed them to see eye to eye.

"That would be nice, he could use all the support he can get right now," Sephie said with a soft sigh. "But unfortunately that would be an unwise idea at the time being."

"Huh, why? It souds like she could really help Naruto?" Rito asked in confusion, to which the queen simply gestured towards the screen when she saw Konan about to speak again.

"Naruto, and those close to Naruto, may no longer feel hatred towards me... but it wouldn't be for the best if I returned to Konoha for any reason right now." Konan knew she was still hated, and knew many would seek revenge against her. Though, everyone she had killed were alive again thanks to Naruto speaking with Nagato, killing somebody would still usually make the victim dislike you.

She killed a lot of people that had to be revived.

"Oh… that's why."

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head in understanding.

"True, and you're very busy. While I'm here... do you have any information on Sasuke?" Kakashi questioned lightly.

"Who's Sasuke?" Mea asked Nana curiously, getting a shrug from the petite pinkette.

"No idea, Naruto mentioned him a while ago I think but that's about it." She told the shape-shifting assassin while glancing at the screen curiously, just waiting for the- and there was the file now.

It wasn't much, a lot of the file being blacked out as usual, but what was left was a picture of a young man with pitch black hair, sharingan eyes, and a cold indifferent expression along with a brief yet once again tragic history.

'…Does anyone on that planet ever have a happy life?' Most of the room couldn't help but wonder as they read the file with mixed reactions. At first they felt saddened and even sympathetic for him, especially after hearing how he had to watch his own brother kill their whole family right in front of him. However that almost immediately turned to disgust and horror when they reached the part explaining he'd tried to kill Naruto for more power to kill his brother, ran away with a known psychopath for more power, and a whole lot of other horrible and shitty decisions for, you guessed it, more power.

By the end of it, the group was relatively unsure how to feel, stuck between wanting to pity the guy for his losses and hating his guts for the atrocities he'd committed in the name of his revenge.

"Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to allow that guy to become a ninja?" Mikan asked disbelievingly as she finished reading the file herself. "I mean seriously, don't they do some kind of mental health checks for those who enlist? Even an idiot could tell that guy is more than a little fucked up in the head after that kind of trauma."

"Crudely put but not inaccurate." Sephie muttered while nodding in agreement, unable to argue against the brunette's statement.

Konan frowned.

"That boy carries in him a powerful darkness. He drowned himself in darkness, for the sake of revenge. I heard what he did at the meeting of the Gokage... he's a nationally wanted criminal now." Konan spoke with a frown on her face.

Kakashi blinked.

What?

"The five Kage met?" Kakashi had been so busy with Inoichi going through Kabuto's head, placing Naruto in a Genjutsu, and meeting with Konan that he didn't really know much about what had been happening in the village. After Danzo Shimura had been made the temporary Hokage, and forced him to put Naruto in a Genjutsu, he didn't care to stay in the village long enough to see anything else.

"I can't blame him there, he was dealing with a lot of crazy crap back to back," Momo said as she leaned back into her seat. "It would be pretty easily to lose track of time and forget important things like-"

"I forgot to check in with Mikado!" Mikan cut the busty twin off as she quickly pulled out her cellphone and started texting rapidly with a panicked expression, an equally worried Rito leaning over her shoulder. Thankfully though, after a few moments the siblings sighed in relief as the busty school nurse messaged back, complete with a picture of herself with Celine napping on her lap. "Oh thank goodness."

"Like that." Momo finished in a mildly amused tone, giggling to herself as she watched the two siblings acting just like worried parents.

Konan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, and Sasuke killed Danzo Shimura. Honestly, that was a good thing in my opinion. That said, he's now a criminal for it." Konan noted.

Before anyone could even ask who this Danzo was, a file showing an elderly man who had most of his face covered in bandages, including one of his eyes, and his basic information popped onto the screen. However, the only ones who really noticed this was Mea and Yami as everyone else was too caught up with the horrifying contents of the billion and a half other files that appeared, showing the many, many, MANY, horrific deeds the man had committed in his lifetime.

This included, but was nowhere limited to, kidnapping, human experimentation, blackmail, multiple counts of treason, double-crossing, backstabbing, political manipulation, murder, and brainwashing. Pretty much any disgusting and downright inhumane acts one could only imagine were listed at least twice, such as how he was the one responsible for Sasuke's brother murdering his family and leaked Naruto's status as a Jinchuriki to Konoha's populace.

By the time these files blipped back out of view, everyone in the room was left in various states of horror and disbelief. Momo had a hand cupped over her mouth with green cheeks, Nana was shivering in Mea's arms as the transforming redhead rubbed her head soothingly, Mikan doing the same with Yami, and Rito outright fainted in shock.

Meanwhile, Sephie was staring on in pure unfiltered disgust, tears leaking from her eyes as she hugged Lala tightly, completely unaware of her eldest's once more slowly reddening face and twitching tail.

All in all though, there was but one thought going through all of their heads at that moment. 'I agree with her, he deserved to be killed.'

Kakashi frowned.

What else had he missed since he left to destroy the Rinnegan?

-With Yami-

'... I don't like how quiet he is.'

'Oh thank goodness.' Mikan thought as the scene changed to show other Yami standing beside a sleeping Naruto, glad for the sudden switch. A sentiment most in the room shared as they all started to visibly calm down.

Never did Yami ever think she would miss somebody laughing or making noise, but ever since Naruto found his mother's scarf, she learned a bit about herself. Like the fact that she was worried about somebody, Naruto. She had never really been worried about anyone else but herself before, so that feeling was new to her on it's own. Then there was the fact that she missed, yes missed, talking with Naruto and watching him live his life.

The emotion she was feeling, she understood it.

Loneliness.

Momo glanced at Yami, briefly looking ready for one of her famous quips or teases only to end up frowning and turning away when she saw her still comforting an uneasy looking Mikan, deciding that it wasn't a good time.

Naruto had become somebody that she cared for now, and seeing him laying down, silent and unmoving, was unnerving for her.

"It really is kinda creepy." Nana thought aloud as she glanced at Naruto's 'sleeping' face. For a guy who was always so lively and energetic it was more than a bit unsettling to see him just so… motionless, almost like he was nothing more than a corpse.

She couldn't hide it from herself anymore, she really considered Naruto to be a friend now.

Friend.

'... why does that word hurt my chest?' Yami thought as her hand went up to her own chest. The thought of being his friend caused pain in her chest, and she didn't know why it did that. Most people would be happy to have a friend, but that label seemed... like a great annoyance to her at the moment. "... What did you do to me?" Yami asked Naruto as she reached out towards his neck.

She could kill him, right now... and go back to how her life used to be. She wouldn't have to think about anyone but herself anymore.

Yami grabbed her heart.

That thought alone made her heart hurt so painfully, that she couldn't even begin to complete it. The belief that her life would be better without Naruto... caused her so much pain that she couldn't even comprehend finishing it.

'Whoa… she really fell for him hard,' Mikan thought in awe as she watched her friend's counterpart look like she was in legit actual pain just at the thought of not having the whiskered blonde around. A few moments later though, her expression shifted to happiness as she snuggled closer with her version of the transforming blonde. 'Looks like she still needs to figure that out for herself though.'

"Yami-chan."

Yami ignored as Hinata Hyuga, one of Naruto's friends, walked into Naruto's apartment all alone. In the past two weeks, Yami had become... knowledgeable about the names of Naruto's friends. That said, she didn't talk to any of them, they were all people that didn't deserve to be friends with Naruto, in her opinion, after what she had heard.

'... Then again, I don't deserve to be his friend... that word again...' Yami frowned deeper in thought.

"Bad Yami, no self-doubting." Mikan said while gently swatting Yami on the head, making the assassin stare at her dully.

Hinata sat down next to her.

"... I can't stand to see him like this either. It was cruel of Danzo to force Kakashi-sensei to do this... and now... Sasuke-kun has been labelled a criminal-"

"He should have been labeled one a long time ago." Sephie stated, not liking one bit how that guy spent years as runaway traitor working with a psychopath scientist and yet only now was being branded an actual criminal.

"You said it." Lala muttered with a small nod, as not even her naturally kind nature could find a redeeming quality for the Uchiha.

Hinata didn't get to finish. Yami glanced at her with narrowed eyes. Hinata got closer towards Naruto, and she reached her hand out to Naruto's chest.

Yami grabbed her wrist.

"Don't touch him."

'Aw screw it.' "Feeling a bit possessive, are we?" Momo asked with a Cheshire grin as she sidled up to Yami's free side, unable to help herself with such prime teasing material. Plus it would hopefully get everyone's thoughts away from the last few minutes.

*Wham* *Crash* "Ecchi-baka."

It may have worked a little too well.

"Owwww…Talk about… having a hair trigger," The busty twin groaned out as she slowly slid down the wall she'd been smacked into, curtesy of a lightly blushing and clearly annoyed Yami's hair hand. She had not expected that violent a reaction so fast, normally it took her at least four or five innuendoes to grate down the transforming blonde's patience.

"... I'm going to break the Genjutsu... Naruto-kun needs to hear what happened with Sasuke-k... Sasuke..." Hinata stopped being familiar with this Sasuke person, and she had a deep, almost angry frown on her face.

Yami took her hand off of Hinata's wrist.

"I don't care what reason you have... as long as you wake Naruto up." Yami didn't care what Hinata had to say, so long as Naruto would be up and moving again.

"Yes, please do already." Nana demanded, really starting to get creeped out by the unconscious blonde's unmoving form.

"Ooooh… better be careful Yami," Momo said while suddenly popping up beside her twin, making the petite pinkette yelp in surprise before her bustier sibling gabbed her in a one-armed hug. "Sounds like little sis wants some of Whiskers for herself."

"I do not!" Nana exclaimed angrily, her face turning bright red in embarrassment as she elbowed Momo's side hard enough to make her let go and promptly shoved her away. "And for the millionth time, I'M THE OLDER TWIN!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure you are." The plant-lover said in a placating tone as she playfully pat her sister's head, enraging the petite girl even more.

"Why I outa…" Shaking in rage and looking ready to have an aneurysm, Nana was this close to committing attempted regicide before red hair suddenly wrapped itself around both twins, turning into solid metal chains and hoisting them apart.

"Ah, ah, ah, that's enough of that you two," Mea said in a chiding tone while setting them down on opposite sides of herself, yet pointedly keeping them tied up. "You can fight later, we're missing the show."

"Grrr… fine." Nana grumbled with a scowl, not bothering trying to get free since she knew how strong her friend could make her hair, while Momo just smiled cheekily.

Hinata used her chakra to break the Genjutsu that Naruto was under.

"Zzzzzzzzzzz."

Now, instead of a genjutsu sleep, Naruto was in a regular sleep. His head tilted to the left, and his body started to move into a far more comfortable position. Yami gave Naruto a look of annoyance, since he didn't wake up.

"Hehe, classic." Mikan said with a soft giggle, which only grew when she saw the identical look of annoyance on 'real' Yami's face.

Her hand turned into a large hand, before she used that hand to cover his hand, preventing him from breathing.

"Wake up."

"Gah!? What the hell!? I was having a really good dream Yami-chan!" Naruto grabbed Yami's hair hand and moved it out of his face. Yami twitched in annoyance when she heard that while she, for two weeks, had been worrying about him, that he had been having a good dream.

"Oh come on Yami, for all you know those nice dreams were about yo-*Smack-Smack-Smack* Ow!" Momo started to say before yelping in pain as she was repeatedly slapped by hair hands, once again curtesy of an embarrassed Yami. "Come on, at least let me finish first."

"No."

"... How long have I... Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked as he looked around, and saw that with Yami, was Hinata.

What?

"Naruto-kun... Kakashi-sensei placed you under a Genjutsu. You've been asleep for two weeks now. I have something to tell you... it's about Sasuke." Hinata stated as she looked down at Naruto sadly. "... He was labelled as a criminal... and he killed Danzo." Hinata explained to Naruto.

"I'll say it again, good riddance and about time." Mikan said with a huff as she crossed her arms.

Naruto frowned.

Yami raised an eyebrow.

"... Damnit Sasuke, now it's going to be harder to bring you back to Sakura-chan." Naruto muttered in annoyance.

...

"... Sakura-chan went out to... kill Sasuke." Hinata stated with a downtrodden tone. She looked at Naruto with her eyes filled with an emotion that Naruto knew well. Yami looked at Naruto, and saw that his eyes were widened.

'…Oh no, I'm pretty sure I know where this is going,' Sephie thought while unconsciously tightening her grip on Lala. 'Please don't let it be so, please.'

Disbelief.

"No way, Sakura-chan loves Sasuke too much-"

"Sasuke killed Sakura-chan." Hinata finished what she was saying to Naruto. She ripped the band-aid off with tears in her eyes, unable to look at Naruto in the eyes. Hinata didn't know the full story, but she knew that Sakura went after Sasuke with a few other of their friends. Everyone else was still alive... because Sakura knocked them all out, so that she could fight Sasuke alone.

…

"Oh my god." Mikan whispered as she cupped a hand over her mouth, her eyes already starting to water as the bluenette's words registered within her mind.

'Dammit.' Sephie seemed to deflate into herself as her fears were confirmed, while Lala went complete still in her grasp.

Yami looked back to Naruto with worry.

He was unreadable.

"... I... I... believe you..." Naruto spoke after a moment. He gripped his hand into a fist, and Hinata leaned forward and went to place her hand on his. Naruto jumped out of his bed and stormed out of his own apartment.

Yami stopped Hinata from following him.

He needed to be alone.

With that the television went back to buffering mode, leaving a deafening silence over the room that went on for what felt like hours.

"Those stupid… cruel… horrible… revolting…"

At least, that was the case until one Lala Deviluke suddenly pried herself out of her mother's grasp and stomped off to a familiar corner of the room, her face pure red, tail twitching so erratically it looked like she had multiple of them, and steam literally oozing from her ears as she grumbled under her breath.

As this was happening, Sephie, Momo, and Nana all paled dramatically with terrified expressions.

"Oh no." "Oh crap." "That's not good." They said respectively at the same time, glancing at each-other nervously before simultaneously diving to the farthest side of the room behind Nana's bed with Rito, Mikan, Mea, and Yami in tow just as Lala was enveloped by the somehow fixed Hide-a-Bathroom.

"Huhu-whazza?" Rito groaned out drowsily, roused from the sudden movement of being dragged onto the floor. "Whazz going on? Why's evverybody on thee floor? And where's Lala?"

"You'll find out in three…" Sephie started as sweat poured from her brow.

"Two…" Momo continued while hugging herself to the floor.

"One." Nana finished while nudging Mea's side, prompting the transforming redhead to encase them both in her hair before it turned into a solid steel dome.

*SQUEEEE-CRASH* "I HATE THOSE STUPID MEANIES!" And not a moment too soon either as with a thunderous blast that likely shook the entire city, the poor bathroom exploded, sending plaster, metal, and porcelain flying in all directions as Lala screamed out angrily at the top of her lungs.
