'where am I?' a young Naruto thought at he drifted across an ocean of blackness. Every breath he released left streams of silver bubbles from his mouth. 'is anyone there?' he asked but no sound came from his mouth.
"I am here." A deep guttural voice echoed across the black void as Naruto twisted his body to look at, what he perceived to be down. He spotted a pulsating red light like a flaming star. "it has been a long time, flesh bag."
'who are you?' Naruto asked as the red light began to shift and take form. Soon the blackness around him was bleeding with red liquid and flames as a monstrous snarling fox like face grinned up at him. Its fur was a flaming crimson and black ever changing and angry. Its teeth held a slight yellow hue and its eyes were black save for the Crimson irises it possessed.
"I am you, you are me. We are one, yet we are not. You live so that I live. You die, then I too shall enter oblivion by your side. Two souls, one body. WE ARE DEATH." The fox then released a mountain shattering roar as Naruto raised his hands to brace himself. The roar shattered the black void he was in and Naruto felt a pulling sensation on his body as he was lifted into the white cracks of the void and was blinded by the light.
Naruto then felt cold hard stone and dirt as his eyes fluttered open and he was met with the dark corridors of the dungeons he had been going through. He tried to get up, but pain rocketed through his body and his head as he groaned.
Crash "GAAAAAHHHH! Naruto's eyes went wide as a flash of purple passed his view and he painfully turned his head and saw Ino pinned to the wall by a ridged barb stuck to her abdomen pinning her to the wall.
"I-Ino?" Naruto called out, but his voice was hoarse. Ino heard him and she turned, tears streaming down her face mixing with blood from a large gash on her forehead. Her arms were littered with cuts and her entire body was covered in bruises and blood. Then he heard it, a roar. Nothing like the beast of his dreams but threatening all the same. Turning once more he saw a large four-legged lion like monster with large tusks protruding out of its mouth. Its back was littered with bone spines and its mane seemed to be hiding several smaller spines as it stalked towards Ino.
As it approached the girl Naruto was able to make out a segmented scorpion like tail with a lean club like tip with three barbs at the end.
A Manticore, a very rare spawn in the dungeon and one that shouldn't have shown up on the upper floors. Putting that aside Naruto went to move but that familiar pain came back to him as he strained his head to look at his body and saw the cause of the pain.
Three barbs were lodged into his body, two in his torso and one piercing his left thigh. He growled through the pain as he dragged his body with his arms to face the beast. With each jerk an pull shocks of pain would bombard his form as he painfully began to crawl towards the beast.
"I-Ino…" he wheezed out as the crying girl tried desperately to dislodge herself from the wall despite the pain she was in with every attempt. The manticore drooled as it dragged its claws across the floor creating a scraping sound as saliva practically flowed from its maw as it approached the girl. With a final roar it began to charge at Ino as she screamed.
"NARUTOOOOOO!"
THUMP
With a flurry of wind and spray of dirt and dust the Manticore went flying into the dungeon wall cratering it as it yowled in pain. Opening her eyes after not feeling the beasts claws or fangs she saw Naruto in front of her with three large wounds in his body and she saw that the barbs that were stuck in him were now on the floor behind him.
THUMP
A pulse came from Naruto as he kept his back towards Ino who was shocked to see his wounds steaming and stitching themselves together.
'H-he's regenerating?'
THUMP THUMP
The pulses were quicker now, and a black and red aura began to leak out of Naruto like an evil Miasma and Ino found herself short of breath.
"Mine." He said in a low emotionless voice as the Manticore regained its bearings and Growled at him. "You, don't touch her. EVER!" Naruto screamed out his voice becoming disembodied and layered as if two beings were speaking at once. His voice was now filled with malice and pure hate as the aura seeping from his body reacted to his rage and became like a raging fire around him. His form was hard to see pass the aura he was emitting.
But Ino could see how his once Blonde hair faded away and bled into a bloody crimson along with his tail and ears. His skin became a slight hue darker than normal as he jumped away avoiding the Manticores desperate charge. With his face now towards Ino she could see his eyes, once blue and filled with mischief and love were now filled with bloodlust. His Sclera became pitch black and his Irises became bloody red with his slit Pupils now thinner than paper. His whisker marks were now wild and dark as he gritted his newly formed fangs.
"N-Naruto?"
"GYYRAAAAAAAAAA!" was the boys only response as he charged forward his aura streaming behind him like a bloody comet. "DIE!"
XxxxPresentDayxxxX
Naruto shot up from his sleeping position as he reached out. His eyes flew open revealing Crimson Irises that slowly bled back into blue. He felt his heart racing as he placed a hand on his chest to calm it. His breath came out harsh and short as he took notice of the sheen of sweat on his body. He jumped when he felt someone place a hand on his shoulder.
Turning around he calmed down seeing Ino with a worried expression.
"Naruto?"
"Nothing, just a nightmare." He said taking a rag from the many pouches on the cart and wiping down his face.
"Just a nightmare? Or That nightmare?" she asked as Naruto sighed and Ino got her answer from that.
"I don't care about what you are. You're still the Naruto I care for, the Naruto who would help me when I was in trouble. The Naruto I would sneak into the baths with when we were young. Nothing will change that." She said leaning into his back as he smiled.
"Right, I know." He said as he leaned into her for a while they shared this moment until the the cart came to a stop. Then the driver poked his head through the front flap.
"S-sorry but it appears we've run into a slight problem." He told them as the two looked at him confused. Exiting the back of the covered cart they walked towards the front seeing the problem. A group of large Bear like monsters had taken up residence on the road. It seems they were attracted by another Caravan carrying produce. The monsters were Bugbears and they went about smashing the contents of the caravan and feasting on both it and the bodies of the caravanners that were attacked.
Since the Monsters on the surface weren't near the dungeon they needed to find other ways to sustain themselves and this was one of them.
"we'll clear them out, stay here." Ino said as she and Naruto walked forward as the Driver nodded and had the horses move back a touch to be safe.
"Shall we My lady?" Naruto asked as Ino giggled.
"We shall." She answered drawing her dagger and charging forward followed closely by Naruto who held a screeching ball of rotating energy.

"Hey, Nyaa. I've been waiting for you!" Arnya called out to bell as he approached the Hostess of Fertility. As he got closer she suddenly shoved a purple colored purse into his hands. "So, can you like take this to that Airhead Syr Nyaa?" she asked as bell got the concept but was still confused.
"Um, I'm sorry but I don't quite get it. isn't she here?" he asked as he heard a sigh and a blonde elf came from around the corner.
"Arnya, you need to be clearer." She said as the Arnya just frowned then smirked.
"Silly Ryuu, Nyaa, I'm obviously just telling him to take this wallet to Syr, Nyaa. Since she was in a total rush to get to Monsterphilia and forgot it, Nyaa."
The elf just shook her head "did you get all that?" she asked as bell tilted his head in a so-so motion.
"Mostly, but what is this Monsterphilia thing again?" he asked getting slightly surprised looks from the two waitresses.
"It's a big monster tournament held by the Ganesha Familia every year." Ryuu explained as Arnya interjected.
"That right, Nyaa. Those Ganesha guys tame monsters for the crowds Nyaa. It's a big performance with lots of people Nyaa. We're counting on you Nyaa!" she explained as Bell just nodded.
"Alright, I can do that." He said turning towards the stadium and running towards it with Arnya waving him off. Bell weaved through the crowds heading towards the arena. As he got closer the crowds began to thicken and his run became a jog then slowed to a walk. Making his way to the edge of the crowd he sighed.
'This is going to be tougher than I thought.' He sighed as he merged himself back with crowd and continued on his way. He then passed a well-known café and on the balcony were three women. One covered in a black robe and hood hiding most of her form. The other was a flat chested red head goddess known as Loki. Next to the goddess was another woman with straight blonde hair wearing a whit neck strapped dress with a purple skirt, Ais Wallenstein.
"So, who's captured your fancy this time?" Loki asked as she swirled her drink in its glass with her eyes only slightly open as she stared down the other woman across from her.
"Its not the child himself, his aura is clear something I've never seen before, and he is undeniably pretty. But no, it's the one who trains him. I've seen many auras each different, some dull others brilliant, but none are like that mans. He possesses two Auras."
Loki's eyes widened while the blonde remained the same.
"Two? That's impossible." Loki said straightening up.
"I thought the same but it would appear that this man does possess two. One shines with a brilliance of a blue flame; the other is dark like a crimson shadow. It is so enticing I could hardly contain myself." She moaned making the Ais slightly uncomfortable.
"this man has grown attached to the boy. It makes me curious just what will happen next." She giggled and rose from her seat.
"Huh? Where are you going?" Loki asked.
"No where of concern my dear." She stated simply and left.
"Jeez that woman's strange. Huh!? She left me with the check!" Loki screamed out as Ais simply stared at the door and narrowed her eyes.
XxxxwithbellxxxX
After running around aimlessly Bell finally ran into his Goddess Hestia. Who then proceeded to drag bell around on a 'date'. He now finds himself sitting in a grass patch eating crepes with Hestia.
"So, Bell how was your time since I left?" Hestia asked taking a bite of her crepes and looked towards Bell.
"It's been so amazing, I met this group of adventurers who took me down to the middle floors with them I got all the way to the eleventh floor!" Hestia's eyes widened. She would be lying to say she wasn't worried. There were some Familia members who would do anything to make a quick Valis, even sacrifice new adventurers and use them as distractions.
She sighed, Bell was just too trusting to people.
"so how where they?" she asked as Bell's smile, if possible, got even wider.
"They were incredible Goddess. They did all these amazing things and each one was so unique in their own way. I just wish we could've gone to the middle floors."
"I thought you said that you did?"
"That was the plan, b-but I may have been taken by surprise by a hellhound and knocked out so we left early." Hestia huffed.
"Bell, you got to be more careful, know what's around you." she lectured as Bell nodded.
"Yeah, Naruto says the same thing." This caused Hestia to raise and eyebrow.
"Naruto?" the name sounded familiar, where did she hear it from?
"Yeah, Naruto he took me into the dungeon for a training session and taught me how to avoid monsters and read the dungeon trails. He's even teaching me Magic!" bell exclaimed taking a bite of his Crepe. At this Hestia's eyes went wide like dinner plates.
"Magic!?" she exclaimed. Bell has always been fascinated by magic often asking if his magic stat has changed at all. Many time's she passed by a shop that held the rare Grimoire she felt bad for not being able to help Bell with this little dream of his.
"Yeah, he's taught me so much already! You see…" he was inturpted by screams and a roar and whipped around to see a large white haired gorilla monster coming out of one of the arena halls.
"u-um bell…" Hestia asked as the Silverback locked it's eyes on the two specifically Hestia.
"Yeah?"
"is that monkey thing looking at me?" a roar was her response as the large ape charged the duo.
"RUN!" bell yelled both to the crowd and Hestia as he grabbed her hand and lead her into the alley ways and streets of the city trying to lose their large pursuer.
"What did ya do to make it so angry? Do you know it?" bell asked mostly out of panic rather than curiosity.
"I've never seen it before in my life!" Hestia all but wailed as they turned a corner and the Silverback came crashing down in front of them sending the two into separate directions. Bell was on his feet quickly as he looked seeing the Silverback lumber over to Hestia.
'oh no.' he thought as he rushed forward pushing his fear away as he grabbed his goddess just before the apes fist came down. Once she was safe he pivoted on his heel and shot forward dagger in hand as he thrust it towards the ape.
In response the ape raised one of its cuffed hands causing the dagger to shatter upon impact and Bell's eyes to widen. His shock slowed him so he couldn't dodge the swipe the Silverback sent his way sending bell flying into a wall with a sickening thud. Feeling the wind be forcibly pushed out of his lungs he laid there gasping for air as the Silverback turned back towards Hestia who was calling out to bell.
'NO, what can I do? What can I do?' he panicked as the air began to return to his lungs and he looked around. Then he saw the lamp that was knocked loose when he hit the wall and the sparking center piece it contained. It wasn't a flash bomb, but it would do. Grabbing the lamp he rushed forward sliding under the ape and smashing the lamp in the monsters face. The resulting bright flash was enough to disorientate the beast and allow bell to dash between alley ways with Hestia in tow.
'dammit, I'm too weak. I can't protect her!'He raged in his mind as he clenched his eyes shut. Then an image of his teacher, of Naruto flashed through his mind. 'What would you do?' he asked as the image of another blonde entered his mind as well.
"You would fight to the end huh?" he whispered to himself and spotted a gated tunnel.
"Bell what are you doing!?" Hestia demanded when Bell took her hand and placed her behind the iron gate and effectively locking it.
"Protecting you." he said simply as the silver back came crashing around the corner. With a final glance and smile bell turned and took off the silverback completely ignoring the Goddess as it was to angry to care at this point.
"BELL! You get back here right now! Bell! BELL!" Hestia cried out as both her child and the Monster disappeared around another corner. Gritting her teeth, she kicked the gate and ran down the tunnel. She could hear the Silverback thrashing around and taking the back ways around the houses she followed that noise.
Things weren't looking good for Bell as every time he tried to out maneuver the large ape it just jumped onto a rooftop so as to not lose the white-haired teen. Bell did his best running behind crates and barrels dodging every attack the ape through at him with its chained hands. Taking a last turn he jumped just as a giant chain sailed under him but it clipped his foot causing him to tumble into the large square surrounding by buildings.
Rolling up just in time to put his arms up as the Silverback swatted at him sending him flying into a group of crates as bell felt splinters scratch up his back and arms. He went to get up but the Ape was already in front of him and with a huff sent him back to the ground.
'this is the end, at least Hestia is safe. I'm sorry Naruto I failed.' He thought glumly as the ape raised its fist to smash bell once and for all. In his head images of the minotaur that nearly killed him flashed through his head and Ais saving him. 'I don't want her to see me like this again. But I did want to meet her at least once.' He thought closing his eyes.
"BELL!" 'NO!' Both Bell and the Ape turned to see Hestia standing there a bit dirty and huffing. With the ape's interest in the goddess returning as it growled.
"Why are you here!? You weren't supposed to follow me!" he screamed as the Silverback began marching over to the petite goddess. Acting quickly bell dashed forward despite the pain his body was in and tackled her down a flight of stairs into another alley.
Groaning he sat up. "are you okay?" he asked and the goddess nodded.
"I think so."
"Then answer me! Why are you here!? I asked you to save yourself!" he all but cried as the goddess on his lap giggled.
"You still haven't realized?" she asked as they locked eyes. "Nothing will ever make me leave you, ever." Bells eye widened as he clenched his fists. "Besides, you made me a promise remember?"
He did remember. He promised to never leave her alone.
"yeah but, I can't protect you, now both of us will be…"
"Its to early to give up! You can still do this." She claimed as the silver back came crashing through the alley's entrance squeezing its massive body between the buildings. Acting quickly bell scooped up Hestia and ran as the Ape growled in frustration seeing its quarry dash off again.
"Bell this might be a bad time, but your making me really happy right now!" Hestia squealed in his arms her face flushed red.
"What are you even talking about!" bell cried at his Goddess's antics given the situation. Then he spotted it a slight groove in a wall they were passing as he came to a screeching halt. It was door, a hidden one.
"Thank you, Naruto, always know your surroundings." He claimed kicking the door open and hid on the other side as it closed. Just in time as well as the pair heard the Silverback angrily rush past them.
"we'll be safe here for a while. Though he'll find us soon."
"Well then you'll just have to take it down yourself." Hestia claimed as Bell just slouched.
"Even if I get a huge boost in my stats I just don't have enough to beat it. I'm sorry."
"Oh Please, since when do you give up so easily!?" she claimed standing up.
"the bell I know is too busy drooling over that blonde homewrecker to even be scared about something like that." She said reaching around and untethering the purple sash around her and revealing a black box.
"I Believe in you, and I always have. So, take this." Taking the lid off bell saw a jet-black knife engraved with strange runes. His eyes widened as he took it into his hand along with its scabbard.
"This is your, no, our Weapon. The Hestia Knife." She proclaimed. "I'm giving you the key to winning this fight. So, go and win it. We all start somewhere, this is your beginning." Bell's eyes widened as similar words echoed through his head as tears began to fill his eyes.
"No let's go update your Stats, so you can take that smelly monkey down."

Ais had just finished cutting down her last monster as the crowd around her cheered and applauded her efforts though she looked rather disinterested. "Well that aught to wrap this up right?" Loki claimed picking up the stone from the monster for Ais. But really she was just trying to peek up Ais skirt.
"Excuse me." A male Ganesha Familia member called as Ais turned her attention to him. "There is still one Silverback unaccounted for. From the reports of some witnesses it chased a young White-haired adventurer down to Daedalus Street." Ais eyes widened by a fraction hearing the description as Loki stood back up.
"Daedalus Street? Pretty sketchy neighborhood that one." She claimed off handedly as Ais's eyes only narrowed as she turned and took off. "Wait! We're still going? Can't we take a break!" Loki complained but followed the sword princess anyway.
XxxxWithBellxxxX
Bell and Hestia took refuge behind a wall of faucets as Hestia activated Bell's Falna and saw his massive increase in stats. 'He's grown this much? His skill level is above six hundred! This might just work!' she claimed as the Silverback sniffed them out and came crashing over the wall.
"It's coming!" Bell claimed as Hestia quickly finished her updates and shut his Falna. As she pulled his shirt down she could feel the slight trembling. Placing her hands upon his back and leaning into his form she calmed him.
"Don't worry bell, Like I said, you have the key to victory. Do you believe me?" Bells shakes ceased as he smiled.
"I do."
"Then go out there and win this!" she claimed patting his back as he shot forward like and arrow. The Silverback roared as it swiped at bell but was taken off guard when bell easily dodged by summersaulting over its closed fist. When Bell landed he turned just in time to block the oncoming chain swung by the Silverback. His eyes widened as the Chain all but shattered like glass against his blade and he felt something flow through him and the blade.
"Bell, that Weapon! Its alive! It's the manifestation of your power when you grow it will too!"
Bell looked down at the knife in his hand "my power?" he asked as the knife's runes seemed to glow in response to his question. The Silverback went to smash bell again, but the young adventurer jumped up landing on the beast's fist and rocketed towards his face. Then with a single swipe he jumped off the ape's shoulder having cut right through the strap that kept that kept his helmet on.
"Believe in that knife! Believe in me!" she cheered as bell once again dodged the Silverbacks wild punch and as it wrenched its arm back bell used it as a springboard to shoot into the air.
"And Believe in yourself!" Bells eyes narrowed as he grabbed one of the many clothing lines as it stretched back like bow string.
'I'll believe!' he though as he shot down with a audible boom and cut right through the armor plating on the Silverback's chest.
'I'll Believe!'
Thump
Hestia's Eyes widened as she felt a pulse roll off of bell and she could make out the barest of aura's around him as it seemed to pulse with his heart beat.
Thump
Bell gritted his teeth as he easily dodged the Apes wild swings as it thrashed around hoping to hit the small Human. Bells eyes suddenly widened as his sight began to flicker. Not in a way to where he couldn't see but it was like when he was meditating with Naruto. He saw the pulsating veins of the world again. He could see the one connected to him as it passed through his body and became a virtual maze of tendrils into his body that stretched out into his blade.
The Silverback went to smack bell, but he dodged it even without looking.
'I saw it but how? I didn't look, so how?'
Not dwelling on it too long bell dodged another swing from the Ape and charged forward. Hestia saw it, the Aura around bell suddenly began to transfer into his blade like a transparent cyclone. As she saw this, two things suddenly flashed into her mind causing her eyes to widen.
[LimitBreaker] [TrueSight]
Bell shot forward and the collected power in his body blasting out into his knife as he dug it into the Silverbacks chest and an audible boom was heard as the transparent energy blasted out the back of the Ape. It groaned and twitched for a moment before falling and exploding into ash.
All was quiet for a moment until Hestia jumped up with pure jubilation.
"You did it!" she cheered as People came out of there homes having been watching the fight and began to cheer and applaud Bell and in an Alley way Ais smiled softly.
"That got really crazy at the end didn't it." Bell claimed as his goddess all but draped herself on him though something was wrong. Hestia was finding it harder and harder to keep her eyes open.
"y-yeah… you could… say that… a…gain." Her eyes finally closed as she fell to the ground causing bell to panic.
Up on the roof was the same hooded woman from before as she looked down as Bell and smirked. "I may have put Hestia in a rather dangerous situation. But it was well worth it." she said looking towards the sky.
"You have chosen quite the student haven't you, Naruto." She said simply and vanished.
XxxxWithNarutoxxxX
Naruto's ears flicked, and his Tail twitched behind him as he turned back to look in the direction of Orario, despite the distance he could still barely make out the tower of Babel. For some reason he found himself feeling extremely proud.
"What's up Naru?" Ino asked as she looked through the wreckage caused to the caravan caused by the monsters.
Naruto smirked as he turned back to the Platinum blonde. "It's nothing." He said and began to inspect the wreckage as well. Something wasn't sitting right with him about this.
