"What must I do?"

"You must..."

"Yeah?" Naruto was getting nervous by the silence

"You must do... nothing"

Naruto sweat-dropped "Huh?"

"You heard me you shall do nothing, it's to dangerous for you to go alone in there if there's demons lurking in the depth of the labyrinth"

"Hei." Naruto and Cain turned towards the sound, finding a tall man with a sword strapped to his hip and a shield on his back. He was pale and had brown hair that was fixed like a horsetail. His pants and shirt were black with brown boots. In all he looked like some sort of mercenary.

"I heard that it was some trouble around here and decided to try and help you guys out"

Naruto smiled and turned to Cain, who saw it and groaned 'Why did I have to open my mouth?


Naruto, the stranger(he would not give his name), Cain and Griswold sat around a table. Griswold had spoken of his journey down the labyrinth and told them of the monster called the Butcher

"It's a huge monster with a cleaver as a weapon, you must be careful if gonna fight that thing" Griswold said showing pain in his face remembering how his friends were cut in half by that horrendous monster.

"You must also be careful for the other smaller demons" he continued "They are not so strong but more in number, we managed to sneak around them, but I think now that Lazarus merely commanded them to stay out of our way"

Cain looked at Nauto before saying "Do you think you up to this, this is demons not just humans"

"I told you of Gaara didn't I? I will manage"

"Naruto."

Coming back from the memory Naruto waited for Cain to go on. "We have decided that you shall go tomorrow. Since it's nearing dark and you need rest before you set out"

"I didn't de..." He stopped as Cain smirked at him before saying

"We decided when you was in you fantasy land"

Grumbling about old men Naruto grudgingly agreed. Seeing it was dark outside Narut mentally said yes to a night of sleep(but he would die before admitting it to Cain.) Naruto and the stranger said goodnight and went to their rooms for the night.


Naruto could not sleep, screams echoed in the night. It sounded like the source of the screams was under constant torture


The next morning Naruto woke up feeling not so good, he had a hard time to sleep(screams from tortured souls didn't help either). The blond stood up, dressed and went outside to take a breath of fresh air. The first thing he noticed was the silence that hung over him, nothing made a sound.

It was early nobody was awake, but of course it was just Cain, Griswold, Gillian, Pepin and Farnham left. "Hm forgot that Witch that moved in recently. " Just recently a Witch had moved into a shack outside the town. "wonder what's she is doing here of all places."

"Naruto are you ready to go?" Said person jumped in the air scared to death. "Don't do that" he whined, a little shameful by how easy the stranger had snuck up to him and he was a ninja.

"Well, are you?" The man didn't look like he had patience to wait for him. "Yeah just wait for me to fetch my things."

Naruto went upstairs again and took a bag with things that he thought he would need. Some potions for more energy and to heal wounds. Some throwing-knives and extra space to store things he maybe would find inside the labyrinth. He strapped his longsword to his hip with a smaller on his back. The two blades was something that he had to buy from Griswold(who would not give him gifts saying something about not believing in such things, Naruto just called him stingy) so they were not the best sword, but they would do. The only thing was that he didn't have so much practise with them, Farnham trained him, but he hadn't so much practise with real combat.

When he went outside Naruto sweat-dropped, standing in the same position with the same expression was the stranger. 'What the is wrong with this guy?' shaking his head Naruto started walking towards the man.

"So your ready now?" the man asked, Naruto nodded and without a word the man marched in the direction of the church.


The area around the church was quiet, too quiet for Naruto. They approached the building anxiousness creeping in both. Naruto was the first one to the door, he looked at the stranger who nodded. Naruto pushed the door, the sound echoed down the stairs before them in darkness. Naruto went down first and walked without making a sound, The stranger was not as graceful and made noises that Naruto was sure of alerted the things down there of them.

The stairs ended in a room so dark they could just see a couple feet in front of them, the room had some barrels and sarcophagus(a stone coffin) lying around. Naruto went to one of the barrels and kicked it open only to find...gold? He went to another and kicked it open to find... more gold? 'What the hell is going on?' Naruto could not come up with a solution to why there was gold in the barrels.

"Let's go Naruto." The other one was already walking towards a door leading to another room. "Wait for me" Naruto said as the stranger opened the door and went in. When he was at the door he hear a yell inside and hurried in, what he did see made him curse. Inside was lots of monsters, some small with horn and spears and some looked like zombies.

"What are you waiting for, help me get rid of these demons!"
