~The Oni~

Feeling the sunlight on his face Naruto begins to awaken.

"Yu." Naruto hears a voice say.

Naruto sits up in his bed. Yu, who was outside of Naruto's room enters with a serious look on his face. Recalling last nights episode Naruto is ready for the lecture Yu is about to say. Instead, Yu stares at Naruto and leaves the room once more. Sitting on his bed is Naoto, she removes her eyes from the doorway and towords Naruto.

"There's something you have to see, but not right now. Later tonight come to Junes. This is urgent."

Naoto gets up from his bed to leave and turns around from the door way.

"Bring a weapon." She says as she puts her hat on and leaves the room.

Naruto throws his covers off and stands up beside his bed. He crouches and reaches under his bed for the box of stuff. He pulls the box out and sets it on his bed.

"They want me to bring a weapon, I got one." Naruto says.

He opens the box but to his surprise there is no weapon. He shutters and searches the box but nothing.

"My gun was in here what the heck?" He says.

He puts the box back under his head and changes his clothes.

(I guess I'll ask the only person I know.) Naruto thinks to himself as he pulls out his phone.

*Hey, I know it's been a while but I need something.* Naruto send in a text.

Instantly a reply comes in *Choji's shop\20 minutes\ Alone*

Naruto puts his phone in his pocket, puts on his shoes and heads outside.

He reaches Choji's shop, pets Kouhei and then enters. The store is empty except for a man behind the register. It's Guy, Naruto's Gym teacher.

"Hey Naruto. What can I get you?" Guy yells from behind the counter.

"I'm looking for something to defend myself with, we need to talk." Naruto says approaching the counter.

"Stop and don't come any closer Naruto." Guy yells.

Naruto stops walking and looks at Guy "What?"

"Naruto, I told you to come alone." Guy says as a man in a black coat enters.

"Hello sir, can I help you?" Guy asks as the man approaches the register.

"Yes. You can give me the money that is in the register right now." The man says as he pulls out a gun.

He points the gun at Naruto and tells him to get on the floor. Naruto is done as told and lays down on the floor. The man focuses back on Guy who hasn't moved at all.

"Did you hear me?! GIVE ME ALL THE MONEY OR ELSE." The man yells now angry.

"Alright." Guy says opening the register. He grabs all the money and put it in the bag.

Guy gives the bag to the man as the man backs away. Lee comes down the store steps from inside.

"What's going on!?" Lee yells.

The man startled fires the gun in Lee's direction. Lee screams and hits the floor.

"LEE!" Guy screams as he jumps over the counter towards the man who has now run out of the store.

Naruto jumps to his feet and heads to Lee.

"Lee are you alright?" Naruto yells.

"Yeah I just got scared, Go help Guy." Lee screams.

Naruto runs out of the store and turns down the alley Guy and the stranger went down. Naruto hears another gun shot and sees Guy fall. Naruto speeds up and reaches guy who is groaning on the ground. Guy has been shot in the stomach. Naruto pulls out his phone and calls for an ambulance. Naruto picks up Guy and wraps one of Guys arms around his neck. He walks him out of the alley as the ambulance arrives.

"Guy!" Lee yells as he steps out from the store.

Naruto tells Lee that Guy was shot and needs to go to the hospital. Lee gets in the ambulance with Guy. Naruto suddenly stricken with grief heads to the train station.

"I need a ticket to Inaba." Naruto says to the ticket man.

On the way to Inaba he thinks of the recent incident. He takes out his phone.

*I'm on my way." He sent in a text to Naoto.

*Good.* he gets in a text.

Arriving at the train station in Inaba in the afternoon he is greeted by Yosuke.

"Do you have a weapon?" Yosuke asks.

"No, I couldn't get one." Naruto says sadly.

"No big deal, I'll take you to Old Man Daidara. He has all types of weapons." Yosuke says passionately.

They walk a few blocks to Daidara Metalworks. Upond entering the store they see a man with red hair and scars on his face.

"Hello, Welcome to my store." He says.

Yosuke turns to Naruto "What do you fancy yourself?"

"Well, I mostly use my fists." Naruto says.

"Okay, then you want something kinda like Teddy." Yosuke says grabbing a glove off the wall.

"Try this on here." Yosuke says handing Naruto a glove.

"It fits but I don't get it." Naruto says clenching his fist.

"You'll see, now lets go meet the others." Yosuke says as they head to Junes and then the TV world.

Naruto and Yosuke arrive in the other world.

"OUCH!" Naruto screams.

"Still can't stick the landing huh?" Yosuke jokes.

"I'm not used to entering that way." Naruto says.

Everyone crowds around except for Yu.

"Where is Yu?" Naruto asks.

The crowd parts and Naruto sees Yu leading someone towards them.

"Naruto?" The voice says quietly.

"It's a womans voice but it sounds familiar." Naruto says.

Yu comes into sight and so does the lady.

"Hinata?" Naruto questions,

Hinata runs to Naruto and they share a warm embrace.

"When you told us that she knows about this world it made me think. Why would she just accept what you said without any question? So I visited her and we brought her here. She has the power to summon a persona such as you Naruto." Yu says to Naruto.

"Wow that's amazing." Naruto says.

Yu turns around and beckons in the fog.

"There's one more person Naruto..." Yu says.

A man appears through the fog.

"...Dad?" Naruto says shocked.
